Seun please Nairaland is too slow with the news, instead of breaking News all we usually see on FP is stale news that has been trending for 48hrs.
The Mods are behaving as if they are still in the days when we have to wait for the newspapers to get to us from Lagos the next day

“The Case of Two Daniels” – A Workplace Dilemma
At Crestwave Solutions, a mid-sized tech firm in Lagos, a major internal shift was about to happen: the Head of Operations was reg, and everyone in the office had their eyes on who would take over the role.

Two names topped the list — and they were both named Daniel.

🧓🏽 Daniel Okon: The Loyal Veteran
Daniel Okon had been with Crestwave for nine years. A quiet, dependable man in his early 40s, he’d started with the company when it was a small two-room startup. He had served through thick and thin, even when salaries were delayed, and helped onboard nearly every staff member in Operations.

While his methods were traditional, he was seen as the “go-to” person for legacy knowledge. Everyone knew “Daniel O.” as the backbone of the team — loyal to a fault, but not exactly a game-changer.

👨🏾‍💻 Daniel Chima: The Star Newcomer
Daniel Chima had ed just 14 months ago as a strategy analyst, but in that time, he had revolutionized reporting systems, introduced an automated workflow, and personally saved the company millions in operational leaks.

He was young, bold, and a bit blunt. Some loved him. Others felt he was “too fast, too cocky.” But no one could deny his results. He was outperforming entire teams.

When the promotion was announced, it was Chima who got the nod.

Applause rippled through some corners of the office… while others fell into a tense silence.

Daniel Okon didn’t say a word. He simply walked back to his desk and kept working.

HR tried to manage the tension, but resentment grew.
Some older staff felt discarded, while some younger staff felt vindicated.

🤔 The Real Questions
Should Okon have been promoted as a reward for loyalty and years of service, even if his results were average?

Was Chima’s promotion a win for meritocracy, or was it disrespectful to senior staff?

Was it favoritism in disguise, or just a necessary decision in a competitive market?

Should leadership find a way to honor loyalty without compromising on performance?

This single decision sparked a culture war that exposed the generational divide, the power of results, and the cost of perception in modern workplaces.

🔄 How would your organization handle “The Two Daniels”?

Don't just buy land anyhow. Is your land facing main road?? I mean a tarred road.
Someone I know bought land for 23m just this last December 2024. They are offering him 30m for same land now about 6 months later. Can TB give you that?

True.

A Dream Delayed: Buying Land in Uncertain Times
I've been searching for the perfect piece of land for what feels like an eternity. My cousin, who knows the seller, had kindly offered to take me to meet them and finalize the purchase. We had been planning this trip for weeks, and I was excited to finally find my dream property.

However, fate has other plans. Just as we were about to embark on this journey, my cousin's father ed away. The news was devastating, and our plans were put on hold indefinitely.

As much as I want to my cousin during this difficult time, I'm also aware that land doesn't wait for anyone. The seller may have other interested buyers, and if I don't act quickly, I may lose this opportunity.

I'm torn between being there for my cousin and pursuing my dream of owning a piece of land.

What do you advice?

I am the type that doesn't like regular fish aside from catfish. I eat chicken, turkey, and goat meat more, but yesterday I decided to change my regular taste and went to the market to buy this Titus fish. If I can vividly, it wasn't sold for more than #400 the last time I ate it, but guess the price is now. It was so sweet, though, and I am not sure if this lady scammed me or sold cheap.
 
Please drop the current price.

A kilo is 4500 so is fair maybe is more than a kilo

Update... This Fish was sold to me for 5k and the lady was doing like she did me a favour.

I think I have been scammed

B A. I had my son today via Elective CS . A baby boy.

BS!BS!

Due to high pregnancy risk after losing 3 babies birthed vaginally, first one stillbirth at 7 month, second stillbirth at 38 weeks and third stillbirth 6 weeks on incubator born at 7 month 28 weeks, that pregnancy wanted to kill me too, it was by God's grace I survived it.

If I should type what I Tru in those pregnancies it would be so long, but you people should help me thank God that I survived it, coz the first stillbirth I was bleeding like tap water once it was 12am with large clots of blood, d baby died for no just cause coz I returned from antenatal well a day before that day, doctor tried everything for me to go into labour no way and he said if the fifth day I don't give birth they would operate me, with high doses of hot drip and prayer, I gave birth that 5th day, but my head never remained the same, coz I started hearing voices.
Second stillbirth baby pooped in the tommy and was weak already she came out weighing 4.7kg with bastard tears and didn't cry. After that year I waited four years before I could conceive and when I did, I lost it at five month I saw show with bleeding and by day three at the hospital I had infection of the amniotic fluid and was bleeding with pain and seeing water, it is along story so I would cut it short, if I had known I would have let the baby go at that five month than ing through pain till seven month and having him die 6 weeks in incubator. I had to testify coz I had serious infection that ate up the placenta, if u c the placenta it looked like pieces of meat breaking away, even doctor could not comprehend what she saw. Me on the other hand I had serious infection too.


Fast forward to 2021 I conceived again but didn't put my mind there coz I was like wat is the use of carrying a baby and losing it afterward, but a voice keep telling me I would carry my baby, I no believe sha, till 35 week, that was when it dawned on me I would really have this baby, baby's movements nko? That one was long story coz he kicked sometimes once a day or twice a day and that's it, I don't let it bother me coz if I do I would shift my gaze from Jesus the author and finisher of my faith to physical symptoms.

My cervix started dilating at 6 month even doctor was scared for me he didn't tell me what he saw in scan he just told me to go, I went nd embark on prayer, 7 month the same cervix was dilating that I was walking like I had ball in my vagina, I cried I prayed, I told God this would be that last time I would pray concerning this issue And that was it, cervix changed, when I go to antenatal I don't sit properly coz of incompetent cervix nobody knows what I was ing through.

Due to these history doctor has to carry elective Cs in 36 weeks 6 days and my rainbow baby came out weighing 2.8kg, and he blessed me again with another one September 16th elective Cs at 37 weeks 3 days weighing 2.7kg as doctor don't want to take risk at all.

Na so so red pen full my hospital file.

This is my birth story, it's more than this but mouth and body no go fit talk wetin e c finish.
I came, I saw, I conquered, God is great.

No matter what u are ing through it has an expiry date.

Make una manage am like this o

Congratulations Mama

ableGoddidit22:


Reason for the first Cs was past medical history , I have 3 losses, I stillbirth at 7 month, stillbirth at 38 weeks, baby was in distress before I went into labour and d midwives didnt detect it she ed meconium and gave up, premature at 7 month stayed in incubator for 6 weeks before giving up, so doctor said no chances baby should be brought out at 37 weeks and I agreed, now he don't want me to try vbac to avoid stories that touch. Took in 15 month after d first Cs.

Hmmm Mama. I am just speechless . There shall be no loss again ,baby and mama alive and healthy in Jesus name. Thank you

ableGoddidit22:


Ok, just that I have been scheduled for ELCS but I pray labour comes before then.

Mama ,what was the reason for the 1st CS ? Was it medical reason or emergency. Why I am asking is because I heard that there are months gap before trying VBAC.
I am also asking to know because of myself although mine was pelvic issue.

Safe delivery mama in advance.

Okay because when you rule out progesterone then you can now ask what is causing the miscarriage. But we pray that the next one will be your testimony. You will surely testify and deliver safely. One love Mama.

What could cause bleeding after tested positive? A friend whose been ttc for 8yrs missed her period for 2 weeks, she started seeing blood like period little by little since 3days ago. Today she went for PT test both blood & stripe tested positive but very faint. The Dr said d pregnancy didn't stay well since she has started seeing her period. That she shud come for flushing. Pls what can she do so she doesn't make a mistake of flushing it out IF the pregnancy is still intact. She was on carbagolin to correct high prolactin. Thnx

If the blood is not much and the result is still showing positive, I will advice she take progesterone medication or injection till she is 7/8 weeks and go for scan if there will be heartbeat . Also she should go to another Dr for second opinion.

iamfertile:


Jesuuuu, it's these old women o. My MIL said I shud sit up for old blood to come out. I did only once 3days ago na so bleeding that had stopped will just trip down my thigh. Also she massage my tummy wt hot water which I'm not comfortable with. Today I went for dressing the site is very wet. Should I stopped the massage of just be careful? I'm asking because I'm thinking if I don't massage how will the old blood come out.
Abeg no mind my long episode. I be jjc

You are not suppose to do sit up and massage now oooo. Do they want to open the site?. Drink warm water if you can.

Minmin2323:
Good afternoon mamas,I am 2 months and some weeks into birth already,and my period looks like it is coming,I saw blood stain on my pant,prior to pregnancy and child birth,I use to experience severe cramps during my period they I couldn't function without drugs,I am breastfeeding now can I start taking those drugs,I am really scared of the cramps,I don't want it to catch me unaware.thw drugs are voltfast and buscopan sometimes paired with Panadol extra

I will suggest you wait for the period to know if you will have cramps. I do take medicine for period but since the birth of my child, I haven't experience any period cramps till date.
