Hajji Mufutau, I would like to discuss a matter with you. kindly contact me on mtlamidi@gmail.com

A man walked into the ladies' department of a Dillard's Department Store ...

... and said to the woman behind the counter, "I'd like to buy a Baptist bra for my wife, size 36B."

"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.

"Baptist," said the man. "She said get a Baptist bra, and that you'd know what she meant."

"Ah yes, now I remember," said the saleslady. "We don't sell many of those. Mostly our customers want the Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, or the Presbyterian type."

Confused, the man asked, "What's the difference between them?"

The lady responded, "It is all really quite simple... the Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright. Then there's the Baptist type."

"What does that do?" asked the man.

She replied, "It makes mountains out of molehills."

GeeOh:

I bought 12 plots of land from this guy. The first problem was that he wanted to sell marshy land as part of my 12 plots. My surveyor detected it and we protested it. He asked us to move further upward. We did, but we were pushed back by omonile.

I protested that I didn't want that any longer. He took me to another place. I accepted. We measured it and it was complete. My surveyor surveyed the land and we were expecting govt approval. I paid him 3m our of 3.12m. I went to check the pillars of the land, and omoniles arrived and told me that the seller's land did not reach the much that was sold to me.

Trouble broke out between the landlord and omonile. It was later resolved partially and my piece of land was adjusted; but now, it's 10.5 plots. After much delay, I did another survey on the land. Vendor agreed to give me the remnant at another place. He claimed he bought the land from a family but omonile family is laying claim to it. He urged me to do something on the land to keep people's eyes off it. He later got the arrowhead of the omonile arrested. He was later released and pronto, he got the vendor and the bricklayers working for me arrested. I got to the police station and I supported the vendor financially to bail himself and my workers.

The vendor finally fought back and got his land back. Then i asked him for the remaining part of my land. He then told me he spent so much money during the struggle and he expected me to pay additional money. I told him I also suffered losses during the struggle. Losses were in form of money wasted on surveyors several unfruitful visits which he also attested to, loss of building materials already prepared when police came to arrest my workers, loss that he himself caused because he delivered 800 out of 1000 blocks I paid him to deliver, which also resulted in the loss of the 10 bags of cement I had bought to use. He didn't like my stand. He promptly insisted that the land given to me was complete and that he wouldn't mind returning my money. This is the money I had paid for the land 4 years earlier. And because the land has actually appreciated by 50% and he has got pressing demands from buyers, he's contemplating selling the land.
Please, what should I did?

Where will you get stakes for the yam seedlings when they start crawling?

Please, explain this. Or is it not necessary when the yam tendrils start crawling?

This woman is said to be a prostitute. The tattoo on her back is Ayat Qursiyyu. What do you think of this woman?

Where will you get stakes for the yam seedlings when they start crawling?

Obafemi Awolowo speaks on Ibos:

Still Setting The Records Straight!

CIVIL WAR
Moderator: Yes Mr…….Mr. Oparadike.
Question: Chief Awolowo, your stand on the civil war, however unpopular it may have been to the Biafran people…Your stand on the civil war, however unpopular it may have been to the Biafrans or Ibo people, helped to shorten the war. Today, you’re being cast as the sole enemy of the Ibo people because of that stand, by among others, some of the people who as members of the federal military government at that time, were party to that decision and are today, in some cases, inheritors of power in one Nigeria which that decision of yours helped to save. How do you feel being cast in this role, and what steps are you taking to endear yourself once again to that large chunk of Nigerians who feels embittered.
Awolowo: As far as I know, the Ibo masses are friendly to me, towards me. In fact, whenever I visit Iboland, either Anambra or Imo, and there’s no campaigning for elections on, the Ibo people receive me warmly and affectionately. But there are some elements in Iboland who believe that they can maintain their popularity only by denigrating me, and so they keep on telling lies against me. Ojukwu is one of them. I don’t want to mention the names of the others because they are still redeemable, but ….Ojukwu is irredeemable so I mention his name, and my attitude to these lies is one of indifference, I must confess to you.
I’ve learnt to rely completely on the providence and vindication of Almighty God in some of these things. I’ve tried to explain myself in the past, but these liars persist. Ojukwu had only recently told the same lie against me. What’s the point in correcting lies when people are determined to persist in telling lies against you, what’s the point. I know that someday the Ibos, the masses of the Ibo people will realize who their friends are, and who their real enemies are. And the day that happens woe betide those enemies. The Ibos will deal with them very roughly, very roughly.
That has happened in my life. I have a nickname now, if you see my letterhead you’ll find something on top, you’ll find a fish done on the letterhead. Some people put Lion on theirs, some people put Tiger, but mine is Fish. And Fish represents my zodiac sign, those of you who read the stars and so on in the newspapers; you’ll find out that there’s a zodiac sign known as pieces, in Latin pieces mean Fish.
So I put pieces on top, that’s my zodiac sign being born on the 6th of March,….er well, the year doesn’t matter, it’s the day that matter. And then on top of it I write Eebudola. All of you know the meaning of that. You know I don’t want to tell a long story but………………Awolowo school, omo Awolowo, the…… started in Urobo land, in mid-west in those days. They were ridiculing my schools, I was building schools –brick and cement, to dpc level, block to dpc level and mud thereafter. And so the big shots in the place..”ah what kind of school is this? is this Awolowo school? Useless school” and when they saw the children..”ah this Awolowo children, they can’t read and write, Awolowo children” that’s how it started, with ridicule, and it became blessing, and now they say “Awolowo children, they are good people” no more ridicule about it, that’s how it started, so the Eebu becomes honor, the abuse became honor.
And so when I look back to all my life, treasonable felony, jail, all the abuses that were heaped on me, to Coker Inquiry, all sorts, and I see what has happened to the people who led, who led all these denigration campaign, where are they today? Those that are alive are what I call Homo Mortuus- dead living, oku eniyan, that’s what they are, those that their lives have gone.
So when I look back, I come to the conclusion that all these abuses which have been heaped on me all my life for doing nothing, for doing good, they have become honor, and so Eebudola is one of my nicknames. So I’ve cultivated an attitude of indifference, I’ve done no evil to the Ibos.
During the war I saw to it that the revenue which was due to the Iboland- South Eastern states they call it, at that time..East Central State, I kept it, I saved the money for them. And when they ….was liberated I handed over the money to them- millions. If I’d decided to do so, I could have kept the money away from them and then when they took over I saw to it that subvention was given to them at the rate of 990,000 pounds every month. I didn’t go to the executive council to ask for support, or for approval because I knew if I went to the Executive Council at that time the subvention would not be approved because there were more enemies in the Executive Council for the Ibos than friends. And since I wasn’t going to take a percentage from what I was going to give them, and I knew I was doing what was right, I wanted the state to survive, I kept on giving the subvention – 990,000 almost a million, every month, and I did that for other states of course- South eastern state, North central state, Kwara and so on.
But I did that for the Ibos, and when the war was over, I saw to it that the ACB got three and a half million pounds to start with. This was distributed immediately and I gave another sum of money. The attitude of the experts, officials at the time of the ACB was that ACB should be closed down, and I held the view you couldn’t close the ACB down because that is the bank that gives finance to the Ibo traders, and if you close it down they’ll find it difficult to revive or to survive. So it was given. I did the same thing for the Cooperative Bank of Eastern Nigeria, to rehabilitate all these places, and I saw to it as commissioner for finance that no obstacle was placed in the way of the ministry of economic planning in planning for rehabilitation of the war affected areas.
TWENTY POUNDS POLICY
That’s what I did, and the case of the money they said was not given back to them, you know during the war all the pounds were looted, they printed Biafran currency notes, which they circulated, at the close of the war some people wanted their Biafran notes to be exchanged for them. Of course I couldn’t do that, if I did that the whole country would be bankrupt. We didn’t know about Biafran notes and we didn’t know on what basis they have printed them, so we refused the Biafran note, but I laid down the principle that all those who had savings in the banks on the eve of the declaration of the Biafran war or Biafra, will get their money back if they could satisfy us that they had the savings there, or the money there. Unfortunately, all the banks’s books had been burnt, and many of the people who had savings there didn’t have their saving books or their last statement of account, so a panel had to be set up.
I didn’t take part in setting up the panel, it was done by the Central bank and the pertinent officials of the ministry of finance, to look into the matter, and they went carefully into the matter, they took some months to do so, and then make some recommendation which I approved. Go to the archives, all I did was approve, I didn’t write anything more than that, I don’t even remember the name of any of them who took part. So I did everything in this world to assist our Ibo brothers and sisters during and after the war.
And anyone who goes back to look at my broadcast in August 1967, which dealt with post-war reconstruction would see what I said there.
STARVATION POLICY
Then, but above all, the ending of the war itself that I’m accused of, accused of starving the Ibos, I did nothing of the sort. You know, shortly after the liberation of these places, Calabar, Enugu and Port Harcourt, I decided to pay a visit. There are certain things which I knew which you don’t know, which I don’t want to say here now, when I write my reminisces in the future I will do so. Some of the soldiers were not truthful with us, they didn’t tell us correct stories and so on.
I wanted to be there and see things for myself, bear in mind that Gowon himself did not go there at that time, it was after the war was over that he dorn himself up in various military dresses- Air force dress, Army dress and so on, and went to the war torn areas. But I went and some people tried to frighten me out of my goal by saying that Adekunle was my enemy and he was going to see to it that I never return from the place, so I went.
But when I went what did I see? I saw the kwashiorkor victims. If you see a kwashiorkor victim you’ll never like war to be waged. Terrible sight, in Enugu, in Port Harcourt, not many in Calabar, but mainly in Enugu and Port Harcourt. Then I enquired what happened to the food we are sending to the civilians. We were sending food through the Red Cross, and CARITAS to them, but what happen was that the vehicles carrying the food were always ambushed by the rebel soldiers. That’s what I discovered, and the food would then be taken to the soldiers to feed them, and so they were able to continue to fight. And I said that was a very dangerous policy, we didn’t intend the food for soldiers. But who will go behind the line to stop the soldiers from ambushing the vehicles that were carrying the food? And as long as soldiers were fed, the war will continue, and who’ll continue to suffer? and those who didn’t go to the place to see things as I did, you remember that all the big guns, all the soldiers in the Biafran army looked all well fed after the war, its only the mass of the people that suffered kwashiorkor.
You won’t hear of a single lawyer, a single doctor, a single architect, who suffered from kwashiorkor? None of their children either, so they waylaid the foods, they ambush the vehicles and took the foods to their friends and to their collaborators and to their children and the masses were suffering. So I decided to stop sending the food there. In the process the civilians would suffer, but the soldiers will suffer most.
CHANGE OF CURRENCY
And it is on record that Ojukwu admitted that two things defeated him in this war, that’s as at the day he left Biafra. He said one, the change of currency, he said that was the first thing that defeated him, and we did that to prevent Ojukwu taking the money which his soldiers has stolen from our Central bank for sale abroad to buy arms. We discovered he looted our Central bank in Benin, he looted the one in Port Harcourt, looted the one in Calabar and he was taking the currency notes abroad to sell to earn foreign exchange to buy arms.
So I decided to change the currency, and for your benefit, it can now be told the whole world, only Gowon knew the day before, the day before the change took place. I decided, only three of us knew before then- Isong now governor of Cross River, Attah and myself. It was a closely guarded secret, if any commissioner at the time say that he knew about it, he’s only boosting his own ego. Because once you tell someone, he’ll tell another person. So we refused to tell them and we changed the currency notes. So Ojukwu said the change in currency defeated him, and starvation of his soldiers also defeated him.
These were the two things that defeated Ojukwu. And, he reminds me, when you saw Ojukwu’s picture after the war, did he look like someone who’s not well fed? But he has been taking the food which we send to civilians, and so we stopped the food.

ABANDONED PROPERTY
And then finally, I saw to it that the houses owned by the Ibos in Lagos and on this side, were kept for them. I had an estate agent friend who told me that one of them collected half a million pounds rent which has been kept for him. All his rent were collected, but since we didn’t seize their houses, he came back and collected half a million pounds.
So that is the position. I’m a friend of the Ibos and the mass of the Ibos are my friends, but there are certain elements who want to continue to deceive the Ibos by telling lies against me, and one day, they’ll discover and then that day will be terrible for those who have been telling the lies.

Men hardly marry more than one wife nowadays? could it be westernization or modernization?
Men refuse to marry more than one wife but cheat on their wives with one or more women outside the home, why is this so? isnt it better to bring in the woman you are sleeping with into the house as a 2nd wife? why not legalize the deal and take that woman off the market by making her Mrs., instead of widening her vagina all in the name of relationship and later on abandoning her?

Today we have ladies in their 30s roaming the streets in search of husbands, any man who says hi to them, they see as a potential husband, guys, you have a duty to take these ladies off the streets, not just to the sheets.

Make it legal today, make your concubine your wife to prevent future curses on your life and generation.

Who says? I'm waiting for them to toast me first.

[Tell him to choose between you and cultism. And while he's thinking about that, you guys should keep the relationship coded.

quote author=Geraldyne post=55514161]Hi,
I've been single since my first relationship turned toxic and recently I met a guy, a student like me who's so into me...we got talking and I found out dat we have a lot in common and a relationship might work for us..we were friends for over a month till he recently asked me out which I accepted since I like him already...he's nice,loving and caring...
Fast forward to two nights ago, he called and said he had something important to tell me about himself, that he's so in love with me and don't wanna get hurt when I get to leave him if I found out that ugly part of him, I got scared and told him to meet me up and tell me face to face which he did last night, he said he's a very deadly cultist and has killed a lot of people who stood in his way,he also said that he's a Lord or whatever and said many creepy things that scared me..he showed me d marks all over his back and I got goosebumps instantly,he was crying while saying this and I cried too..
I told him that I'll see him later and I've been dodging his calls since,had to leave school early today so he won't see me..
Right now,I have a lotta things running through my mind and am confused..
Should I continue this relationship knowing that am dealing with a deadly cultist or should I quit while it's still early??
fellow nairalanders help me

Thanks..

3 people: those two men and the photographer.

The bigger the asss, the deeper the hole.

Copied from a whatsApp forum. I Think it's time we stop over focussing on this PDP/APC, PMB and the rest issues and start looking where our problem is. I believe our problem is in the institutions of this country. I don't want to mention that of police now its for another day. It was on the 14th day of March that I drove into one of the police station to obtain the new tinted glass permit, in the process, it was discovered that the plate number of my car is being used by another car. My first question is "How is it possible?" Because I obtained this number from FRSC with all documents intact. I never know the car is going to stay for 12 days in the station.
A file was quickly open and the car became an exhibit. Thank God the car was registered by a very high ranking officer of the FRSC whom was brought to the station. As the investigation was going on, it was discovered that some people were producing these fake and duplicate number plates and giving out to innocent and unsuspicious Nigerian ripping them off their hard earned money.
My question is, should we now go and buy this numbers at a shop in Alaba or at idumota instead of the federal government approved agencies? In the course of my research, I stumbled upon the number plate verification system online. I started verifying cars of friends, church members and even cars that I see on the road. A shocking revelation was made that OUT OF EVERY 10 CARS you see on the road with LAGOS and ABUJA number plates, that at least 4 is FAKE.
You can check your own now.
(1) Go to www.nvisng.org/numberplateverification.aspx
(2) Enter your number in the space provided. Eg "ABC863AP
(3) Click on verify button. Then an information will be displayed below the button. Because FRSC did not want the general public to see the full details of the registration, you will only see the name of your car and the date of registration.
Here are some samples:
1. This number plate has been produced by FRSC and assigned to Toyota highlander on 20/01/2015. If your car is Toyota highlander, then you are lucky its done. But if your car is for instance Toyota Camry and your verification shows the above message, then you are in as me. Solution is to go and re-register your car afresh.
2. This number plate has been produced by FRSC and assigned to Matrix however the vehicle is yet to be registered..... If your car is Matrix, then just go back to the person that registered your car and tell him/her to complete your registration.
3. This plate number has been produced by FRSC but yet to be assign to any vehicle. It means that they just gave you a number plate that is not even registered in their system. Solution is to go to them to register your car and upload your information.
4. An invalid/wrong number plate. Do I need to explain this, NO.
Verify your car first and sort yourself out with the FRSC before you even proceed to police for tinted permit cos if police are the one to find out, then you know what follows. Many innocent Nigerian are suffering now because of impunity in our institutions
Note: this verification is only applicable to the number plates with this formats ABC123AB not AB123 ABC.

Let us spread this news until everyone is aware of this evil FRSC is perpetrating. You are free to share.

LAWYERS! Whether they win or lose a case, they still get paid! Jibiti of the highest order!

PRESS RELEASE

 

RE “ALLEGED ABUSE OF POWER BY A LAGOS MAGISTRATE”

 

The attention of the Lagos State Judiciary has been drawn to various online stories with the caption ‘’Abuse of Power’’ as well as a Publication in the Vanguard Newpapers of Wednesday 23rdMarch, 2016 titled ‘’How Magistrate remanded my wife after their cars brushed.’’ A Lagos State Magistrate, Mrs Funke Sule-Amzat was alleged to have ordered the detention of one Yetunde Osijo at the Kirikiri Prison on Monday 21st March 2016 for hitting her car.  It was alleged that the Magistrate ordered that Yetunde Osijo should be arrested and arraigned before her at the Ogudu Chief Magistrate Court. It was further alleged that the Magistrate promptly ordered that she should be detained at the Kirikiri Prisons without legal representation.

 

 

The Magistrate’s version of the incident is as follows ‘That on Monday 21st March, 2016 around9.am on her way to work, close to Abiola Gardens, Ojota, a car brushed her car from behind.  The Magistrate’s driver alighted from the car and Yetunde Osijo who drove the car rained abuses on the driver and his master.  The Magistrate stepped out to see the extent of the damage only for Yetunde Osijo to speed off in a dangerous manner.  She was eventually arrested by men of the Rapid Response Squad at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere and taken to Area H, Police Command.

 

The Area Commander made an attempt to resolve the matter but Yetunde Osijo insisted on calling her husband who came in and became very boastful.

 

Together with his wife Yetunde Osijo, he uttered words like’’ She is the daughter of the former Clerk of the House of Assembly,’’ ‘’We own Lagos State,’’ ‘’Tunde Disu gave me fuel yesterday for my car,’’ ‘’ I dined with the Governor last week,’’ ‘’A common Magistrate cannot hold us to ransom,’’ ‘’We will report to the Chief Judge and she will be punished for this,’’ ‘’My father will see to it,’’ and many more. At that juncture, the Magistrate said the Law should take its course and left for her Court’’.

 

The true position is that the Magistrate upon the occurrence of the incident lodged a report with the Police, who effected an arrest and upon investigation arraigned the suspect before the Chief Magistrate Court Ogba presided over by Mr.T.A Elias.  She was immediately admitted to bail on liberal terms and the matter was adjourned for mention.

 

The suspect was never arraigned before the complainant Mrs. Funke Sule-Amzat and she made no order or take any step in respect of the matter. The matter is presently pending before the Court for determination.

I will just copy conversations from the forum. This serves as my data.

Lovely.

When the time is right , these people will be usefull to the US government in various capacity, some will be sent to spy on our country, some will be sent to the US consulate, some will work as translators, other will be recruited by CIA to eavesdrop on Tinubu's conversation giving others to Aregbeshola in Yoruba.

Make Una dey there dey happy say them dey learn Yoruba.

Those Americans that study Yoruba at UI are already spying on the nation. Part of the programme is for them to live with Yoruba families. They eat with you, attend parties, churches etc with you. For hosting them, you get paid by the programme organisers. Looks like you are selling your nation to the whites.
The Americans will not do a thing without a reason. Are they father Xmas? Why exactly do you think they need the knowledge of Yoruba? They are preparing another means of colonisation/enslavement of our people. They already have political and economic domination over us. Their next step is linguistic and cultural enslavement.
