Mails getting lost in transit can't be ruled out. However, I have sent mails within and outside Nigeria in the last one year and have been impressed with the high rate of timely delivery.

NIPOST has undergone a silent transformation over the years and are quite efficient; would advice GEJ to take NIPOST public so that every Nigerian can be able to own a part of it instead of selling it one day to DANGOTE.

Not really. There are General Post Offices and neighbourhood post offices. If you intend to post the letter to an address that doesn't have a Private Mail Bag, the letter will be dropped at the neighbourhood and a slip will be sent to the address to come and pick up his/her letter. Its faster if you are posting to a post office box.

Let's look at the Ikeja to Victoria Island scenario:

Drop the letter at the Ikeja GPO before 12 noon and it will get to Victoria Island GPO that same day. Sorting will take place the next day; if he has a post office box,it will be slotted into his mail box but if posted to an address, they will send to the nearest available neighbourhood post office which can increase delivery time. Register the letter and the mail will be dropped off at the recipient address the same day the mail is sorted.

The Nigerian Postal Service has been running a seamless service since 2009.

So when you look at your threads and posts, what goes through your mind is "I am not unstable and neither am I a freaking psycho"?

Have you ever heard the phrase aitete m'ole, ole mu oloko?
