Sample 1
Ndidi Anyiam is a young girl staying with her elder brother, Donatus, a trader at the Onitsha Bridge Head drug market. After three years of battling to secure admission into the university, she got tired of staying at home and opted to assist her brother in his shop at the Bridge Head.

One Friday morning, she set out to go to the market. On crossing the other side of the road at the Upper Iweka NITEL bus stop to board a bus plying the Uga Bridge Head route, she was approached by a nice-looking young man who asked her the direction to locate Nwaziki Street in Awada. Coincidentally, it was on the same street she resides. But the attempt to assist this ‘harmless’ young man was her greatest undoing.

All Ndidi could remember two days later was that she found herself in Asaba, the Delta State capital. She could not explain how she was hypnotized, she went to her brother’s shop and collected N80,000 being the cost of two cartons of Procold tablets her brother just sold that morning. Ndidi went ahead and borrowed N120,000 from different sources inside the market, lied to them that it was her brother that sent her and subsequently went back to Asaba to hand over the money to the fraudsters. It was when she came back to look for more money that the brother, who had gone to the Abuja park to send goods to a customer, accosted her and demanded to know where she kept the money inside the drawer. She never gave a satisfactory answer. It was after the brother slapped her that the ‘scale’ fell off her eyes and she started crying.

Sample 2
Sister Mmesoma is a nun in the congregation of Immaculate Heart Sisters. She was transferred from their convent in Awo-Omama, Imo State, to the Nkpor Convent to take charge of the provision store and canteen serving the mission hospital. On a particular day, she went to the Ogbaru Main Market, popularly known as the Relief Market in Onitsha, to buy goods. On approaching the foot of the flyover at Upper Iweka, there was a traffic snarl. So, she and the driver joined the queue. Because the car air conditioner was faulty, the windows were wound down. Suddenly two young men appeared by the window and shouted: “Give us that bag.” Out of fear arising from different tales she had heard about Upper Iweka, she handed over the bag containing the sum of N210,000 to the boys even before the driver could tell her not to since the boys were a regular nuisance that harass people without guns within the area.

This is Upper Iweka, the unofficial crime headquarters of Anambra State. Upper Iweka literary possesses different faces - the good, the bad, the ugly. These true life encounters are just samples from the action thriller churned out daily from the hot spot of Onitsha.
Upper Iweka is a big spectacle in contradiction and absurdities. Though it derived its name from the popular Iweka Road, named after a monarch (now late) from Obosi in Idemili North Local Government of the state. Upper Iweka is simply the upper part of the Iweka road but because of its vantage location, it is the heart of Onitsha.

It is the connection point for many travellers as it serves as a point of arrival and departure for various travellers within the city or those in transit. Because of its central location connecting the Onitsha-Enugu expressway, Asaba Bridge Head expressway as well as Onitsha-Owerri expressway, many cannot do without Upper Iweka, although it is often dreaded like a plague due to the chilly stories and happenings within the area.

When popular musician Ibealoke Chukwukeziri (aka Apama Boy) released an album in 2001 titled: Ihe na-eme na Upper Iweka (things dey happen for Upper Iweka) it was a hit. The Achi, Oji River-born artiste demonstrated in song the activities of illegal tax collectors, who extort money from individuals in the name of tax rates until they met their perfect match in the person of Chief Perricomo Okoye, whom they carried shoulder high to their office to perfect their extortionist tendencies but were surprised that they couldn’t bring him down despite all efforts. Ichie Perrycomo, using his own African magical powers, taunted them all through, commanded and collected outrageous items from them before he set them free.

Today, the tax collectors may have fizzled out of Upper Iweka but the activities in the area can make for another block buster movie. In June this year, Upper Iweka was in the news again as 20 corpses were reportedly found in a tunnel while a criminal was being pursued. Although official sources say the figures reported in the media were inflated, our reporter spent some days in the area and came up with several discoveries that would make the activities of those days under the Ojuelegba bridge in Lagos look like child’s play.

Upper Iweka is the place where two men can engage in an open fight totally naked with passers-by watching. There, Okada riders and others passing by, when pressed by nature, will simply unzip, pull down their trousers and begin to defecate in the gutter while others pass and look the other way.

In this place, it is every man for himself as no one cares what happens to the other. Everybody seems to be always in a hurry here. It is also a dumping ground for ritualistic activities, an area where one confronts in the early hours of the day gory pictures of beheaded ladies or butchered men whose vital body parts may be missing.

Fake policemen on the prowl
There used to be a police station at Upper Iweka opposite the NITEL office. The place was formerly a beehive of activities as the police then were accused of massive arrests of innocent people. It was during the MASSOB uprising some years ago that some hoodlums capitalized on the situation and burnt the station down.

Since then, the Anambra State police command has not rebuilt it, although there is another police station nearby at Okpoko layout. While policemen in uniform mount checkpoints around the flyover and the Lagos park axis, Sunday Sun revealed that fake policemen also harass and extort money from individuals. They operate around the NITEL area, Aba Park axis, Micmerah Park, Ogbaru Relief Market as well as Old Asaba/TRACAS Park. Their style of operation is usually to flash their identity cards at an already fidgeting trader and then search and collect any valuables in the person’s bag unless the person is ready to settle.

Narrating his frequent encounter with this group of ‘policemen’ to Sunday Sun, Justus Ijeoma, who is head of the publicity desk of a human rights group in Anambra, said: “There was a day one of them flashed his identity card and wanted to search my bag. I resisted and he called another man on the other side of the road, who he addressed as Inspector. The so-called Inspector flashed his own identity and I quickly grabbed it, only to discover that the man was a police constable. I called the Area Commander on the phone and he told me to hold the man and await the arrival of his men. Unfortunately for them, the press crew of a private television station was passing by and one of the reporters recognized me. They filmed the encounter and took all of us to the station where it was discovered that the constable was working hand-in-hand with the fake police officer. The man was sanctioned appropriately.”

Our reporter also observed that many traders in Onitsha become victims of these fake policemen and other real policemen in plain clothes, who harass people within the area with phrases like “wetin you carry?”; “from where to where?”; “where is your helmet?”; “when you reach station, you will explain further”; “where is the receipt for this goat?” among other such gimmicks.
Speaking on the development, the new Onitsha Area Commander, AC Larry Osita, said the command was poised to discipline any errant officer as he had zero tolerance for corruption.

Emergency toll collectors
In 2009, The Federal Government awarded the contract for rehabilitation of the Onitsha-Enugu dual carriageway. Although the pace of work has been at a snail speed, with concerned residents lamenting the situation, there are however other individuals “praying” daily that the work should be abandoned completely. They are the emergency toll collectors reaping bountifully at Upper Iweka. Since the construction company excavated large sand, which blocked the gutters in between, it has become practically impossible for pedestrians, motorcyclists and vehicle owners to cross over to the other side of the lane without assistance.

This became an employment opportunity to many jobless youths who capitalized on the situation to erect wooden crossover ‘bridges.’ The toll fee is N10 per crossing for pedestrians and ‘Okada’ riders while vehicle owners pay N50. Between the Ogbaru market, down flyover, TRACAS to MCC bus stop, this reporter counted 15 of such illegal tolls/crossings and all the operators are busy from morning till night. Some of the points are manned by red-eyed Indian hemp addicts, who are ready to “die” with any uncooperative user. One of the operators who identified himself as Tobias said he makes an average of N3000 daily from his toll point.
In the evening, the business becomes more spectacular as wheelbarrow pushers convert them into emergency flyovers. They put their barrows between the gutter for people to step on to the other side, also for a fee.

Centre of mysterious accidents
Upper Iweka is also the place where the highest number of road crashes is recorded yearly in Onitsha. It is estimated that accidents occur on the average of two per day in the area. Some attributed it to the presence of “blood-sucking demons” in the area while others say it is the result of the chaotic nature of the area and the concentration of human and vehicular traffic. Most of the vehicles often involved in crashes are heavy-duty trucks and people wonder how such vehicles crash at the point of destination at Onitsha after covering long distances from Maiduguri and other parts of the North.

When contacted on the telephone, the Onitsha Unit Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Mr Ben Akunne, declined comment on the development but demanded an official letter before he could respond.

Headquarters of hooliganism/brigandage
Apart from regular touting by motor park and garage workers, Upper Iweka is also the headquarters of hooliganism and brigandage. Pick pockets, handset and handbag snatching are rampant. Armed robbery incidents occur mainly in the early hours of the day and in the evening. A car dealer, Onuorah Oodo, narrated how he lost his valuables to armed robbers at Upper Iweka while returning from Lome, Togo, where he sources cars for his clients. This practice takes place in various forms by various faceless groups, who have the raw nerve to demand and grab money and other valuables from their hapless victims. However, there are two identifiable groups whose activities leave much to be desired. They are the Anambra State Traffic Agents (ASTA) operatives and the Task Force known as Ndi Mpiawa azu (the lacerators, back breakers or the cane masters).
The ASTA operatives appear in green trousers and yellow shirts while the Mpiawa azu group is known by its traditional ox blood fez cap on which is inscribed Anambra State Task Force. They usually wield long canes.
Although the ASTA operatives have their head office at the Bridge Head section while the Mpiawa azu is located at the Onitsha-Owerri road bypass, both groups have unofficially relocated their head office to Upper Iweka because of the lucrative nature of their business in the area. The two outfits were created by a former Commissioner for Transport and Special duties in the state to ease traffic, check the excesses of commercial bus drivers on major roads in Onitsha as well as to clear the streets of the excesses of street traders.

Sunday Sun findings however revealed that the major preoccupation of the two groups is extortion and brutality. The ASTA operatives impound and forcibly remove vehicle number plates, tow such vehicles to their offices and extort the driver. They apprehend those driving against the traffic yet they flout the same rules themselves while on duty. The cane beaters (mpiawa azu) collect money openly from drivers while any hesitation results in continuous flogging and breaking of vehicle mirrors.

Their boss is popularly known as IKO and is alleged to operate a very lucrative transport business with a fleet of vehicles while they don’t remit the accurate revenue accruing to the government. When Sunday Sun contacted him on phone for comments on the allegations, his response was: “What is your business in this matter? Did government tell you that their money is missing? If I like, I can procure 100 buses monthly for my business. If you had come physically to ask me this stupid question, I wouldn’t have talked to you. Rather I would have told my boys to beat you up.”

This reporter witnessed recently how a pregnant woman fell off a commercial motorcycle that was knocked down by a commercial bus being pursued by the group at Upper Iweka. She died soon after.

Rent a bench to pass the night
At the Lagos Park section of Upper Iweka is another big story. Many street urchins and barrow pushers that are homeless find refuge in the area. While some of them sleep on top of their barrows at night, others that cannot afford the luxury rent wooden benches for N40 and sleep in the open space. Bench renting is another lucrative business in the area.

@POSTER

I can help you but it really should be in the crime section

Beaf:
Lol! Sharia inspired boko haram and your "strong" leaders inspired sharia. I know it may be a bit too complicated for you to grasp sha, so no bigie.
Dude, being daft doesn't require effort, but everyone can learn to think (even Aluwe).

This is another effect of "strong" leadership, child abuse and slavery:

again insult and insult.

Sharia did not inspire Boko haram. Where is you get that from ? Boko haram is an extremist group that does not represent the people's wishes.

Now back to the topic

you were comparing Jonathan to Buhari isn't it?

kizito96:
Hi guys, I am an old member but a new contributor to NL. I want you guys to welcome me.

funny statement

Beaf:
What has made Borno so dangerous, if not "strong" sharia blinded leadership?

Borno is not dangerous because of Sharia but because of extremist which can be found in every society for example KKK in america. MEND/Egbesu in ijaw land, OPC in yorubaland

there are sharia courts in the SW infact 3 in lagos and there are no Boko harams

Again stick to the topic

Gbawe:
Shut up and stop being so disrespectful !! It is not about time with GEJ . It is more about the decisions he has made that shows, clearly, he is not on the side of Nigerians. Why don't we inspect the actions and utterances of GEJ so far ?

"Leaner Government not possible"? Is this clueless man serious?  In a day and age when the wealthiest Nations are cutting cost the leader of a very poor nation , running one of the most unproductively expensive democracy on earth, is saying he is powerless to reduce waste and profligacy !!!! Is this the "reform" 'tools' like you promised we would see from GEJ?  

how about the crazy decision that the home of corruption (NNPC) must turn around our refineries witht 2 years? Do you think that decision was made in the best interest of Nigeria or in the interest of the AGIP backers of GEJ? I hope even you , shameless apologists of GEJ that you are , will not even attempt to defend this crazy directive.

What say you on the creation of more Ministries many analysts agree is borne out of the need to accommodate the the huge number of AGIP buddies GEJ is trying to cater for ?

What about the deceitful tenure elongation bill , in reality the least of our pressing issues, that GEJ and the PDP never mentioned in any pre-election manifesto?

My friend , the likes of GEJ can have 20 years and he will still only take Nigeria backwards because he is weak, mediocre and an "impotent stooge" being controlled easily by the owners of Nigeria.

Very well said

KUDOS

Beaf:
Dimwit.

This is one of the by-products of "strong" leadership that has made Nigeria the envy of all nations:
mg]

Again I am not talking about strong or weak leaders but GEJ competency

Beaf:
Dunce.

You hop around NL like a troubled frog, talking about GEJ lacking the "strong" leadership you have experienced all your life, yet you can't even go home, because the "leadership" from the vagabonds you crave has become too strong? Lol! I thought you would have looooooooooooooooooooved boko haram!

Maybe you look around yourself, see the indescribable degree of poverty, disease and suffering only to grow a big hard-on at the strength of your leaders. Maybe when you see the criminally large population of child wives and almajiri's, your poor lil mind craves to build a shrine to worship your "strong" leaders.

Shocking.

Again if you have been reading my post, I am not saying GEJ is weak but saying he is imcompitent. Borno is a dangerous place,. but don't deviate form the topic

again lets discuss about the topic YOU FORMED thanks

htajz:
good so you want the beating to start again , because we are animals right? poverty and illiteracy is the number one cause of indiscipline.

Are you saying that there was Poverty and Illiteracy in Lagos at that time. People need the authority of some kind to know they should act proper Outside there homes!!!!!

In amaerica and UK, if they say no U-turn. them no born even prime minister well to do U-turn. Also people don't just Urinate anyhow in those countries

this is because of the fear and respect of the authority

Same cannot be said about Nigeria.

htajz:
its really a pity your out to defend people that have led us to this mess we are in the first place,if those leaders were any good then how did we get to where we are now . nigeria is now the laughing stock of african, even poor african countriues resent us. u no get shame

Wait wait wait!!!! Let me make my position clear, I am not support IBB and co as they are corrupt but I want to let you people know that GEJ is part of them.

An attempt to seperate GEJ from IBB and co is outright stu.pidity as He has had equal oppotunity as them

His wife was caught with 1 million dollars going to dubia to buy Gold. IS GEJ NOT A Lectural  in a university and cannot afford 1 million dollar just on gold for his wife. Thank Allah for saudi authorities

Buhari was not like them. I have posted this before about his era and infact we were at war them but Nigeria did not feel it. Also the best time in  NIgeria History.

htajz:
you obviously didnt know what people in the east went tru during buhari millitary regime thats why you can run your mouth anyhow, soldiers beat up people at will all in the name of discipline , women were being violated by soldiers and you wonder why the east does not want anything to do with buhari, discipline indeed make im try again.

The north and west went through the same process

How do you think people would line up stright before boarding a bus. BY MAGIC?!!!!

or how do you think you can tell an Agbero to not urinate on the wall . by magic again ?!!!!

do not give me this victim mentality because I have seen soilder beat people in borno back in those days

Beaf:
Is that not why there is boko haram in your state? The sharia inspired "strength" and "sanity" Buhari gave you has made you people run away from home, while al qaeda and boko haram zealots have taken over.

Shame on you. Why are you in Lagos? When will you be able to return home to Borno and the "peace" Buhari gave you?

Lagos is a Nigerian state just like Borno and I can chose to be wherever I want as my security can not be grantee in Borno state

Talk about the topic and stop trying to dodge facts OK!! because I know you want to deviate from the topic YOU formed

[quote author=South-East link=topic=724751.msg8826696#msg8826696 date=1312127675]Abiola's is not the best. He rigged in the SW and bribed in the remaining places. He was one president Nigerians were happy not to have. Drug pusher for a president? Tell us what they did in their own one year.[/quote]I don't care about Abiola and the died has no business with the living . so talk about the fact I posted

marvix:
Alh Harem and co cut d man some slack, what would u have GEJ do, u all agree he is weak well I voted him for his weakness since I looked around and saw that my nation had not fared any better under strong leaders so a weak leader may have d right touch, I say I will giv him 2yrs 2 come 2 terms with the solutions and someone is sayin afta 50yrs hav been wasted 2yrs is such a long time, pls if u can't wait 2yrs take a dive in d lagos lagoon at least Abaniwonda has done it you can also!!!

please and please grow up and stop talking about thing u know nothing about

GEJ has been there for almost 2 years now. The only strong leader I see is Buhari and because his era was the best in Nigeria

Do you even know Nigeria fought a war at that time and yet, they did not bomb u all, because he was a good leader that did not want his people to know that Nigeria was invaded by Chad

All the bus stops then, people line up to board a bus. the streets were clean. the police was not corrupt etc

I am sure you were either young or were not born then, ask you parents about his era and tell them to be honest. So you can stop displaying your ignorance here

OK!!!!!

htajz:
pick one strong leader from the list first before you comment

I am not talking about strong leaders but the leader's achievements when compare to GEJ

Now if you want my pick I choose BUHARI

If you were born then, you would know that the country saw sanity and disciple during his military regin with Idiagbon

ask your parents if you are not sure

Andy Moore:
Please, if you have a point to make, make it rather than insulting people. Respect people's opinions especially when it makes sense. Thank you.

ha you are talking to an uncultured person that derive joy in insulting

what till he starts with pictures

[quote author=South-East link=topic=724751.msg8826622#msg8826622 date=1312126676]Alj Harem

Please tell what those other leaders did in their first 100 days (or so), the point where GEJ is now
So far,

GEJ conducted the best election in Nigeria.
Under Gej, naija has been removed from the terror watch list where your Mutallab Sharia Bank brother's son put us
Cost of petrol has stopped flutuating like no man's business
There seem to be more electricity now than before
He is working on a 6-year single term bill which is good for Nigeria

All these in 100 days.
Wait for 4 years to expire. Then come back to judge him against the other FAILED presidents.[/quote]My brother, GEJ has not been the president for 100 days. Since Yaradua die, he became the president from March 2010 . tomorrow would be August 2011.  It is more than a Year now

The best election is Abiola and not GEJ because he rigged in the SE and SS(99% support). Also the north because the % of people that voted for him is immpossible

Nigeria was removed for debts by OBJ as well so Using Muttalb is not excuss.

the cost of petrol has been stablized since Yaradua. 2009 or so. you can check to be sure 65N

That is a lie because were I live, the electrity has gotten worse and other areas as well

and how are you sure he would not go for second term. moreover he promised 1 term and used 6 years to extend his tenure

Not 100 days but 1 year and few months which OBJ/yaradua did better only that I cant recall now

Good

but it should be checked very well and tested in Universities and health centres before used on children

SSaemoenl:
Jonathan is a.,.,.,.,. , Mister NO DIRECTION.

thank you. He should tell us what Jonathan has done for balysea before he became the president and what he as done for Nigeria so far apart for FOI

Beaf:
If your understanding wasn't so agriculturally impeded, you would have heard about stuff like FOI etc. Dude, I would have attempted to explain FOI to you, but it has nothing to do with chickens, yams or cows, so you wouldn't understand.

Freedom of information is what we should priase JOnathan for

You mean just because he passed a bill (piece of paper saying FOI) we all should be happy

please Mr man stop this acting and give tell us how he has improved the life of an AVERAGE Nigerian

I beg tell us

[quote author=South-East link=topic=724751.msg8826501#msg8826501 date=1312125215]As a president from a minority group, only a fool will expect GEJ to thread not softly in a country where wolves (Hausa/Fulani/Yoruba) and Foxes (Igbo) hold sway.[/quote]why are igbos and ijaws to called foxes. Or is ibori, edwin clark, Peter obi, alams the woman dresser, andy uba, T.A Orji etc also yoruba/hausa/fulani a well

c'mon be fair here. Every group is part of it

DRlulu:
these are the people that put us in the mess we are in today but this list is not complete am sure there are more of them that should be there ,yeah gowon should be there. they couldnt even help their own people talkless of the rest of nigerians yet they are the richest nigerians we have today while their states and towns are among the poorest we have in nigeria. what a shame. we cant judge GEJ untill he finishes his tenure or at least half way into his tenure, its up to him to decide if he wants to be in the hall of fame or hall of shame like these thieves.

yes you are right, but please and please GEJ is part of them he was the deputy governor of the balysea, governor of balysea, now the president since 2010

Beaf:
The thing about being daft, is that it takes zero effort. You simply chuck your brain in your arse and start babbling crap.

@topic
Please, any takers, there is a a lovely choice of several "strong" leaders above. Take your pick and tell us what they did for Nigeria, but if you are merely an ethnic bigot, then tell us what they have done for your people.

A little bird keeps whispering, "some of these 'strong' leaders own boko haram and Maiduguri."

LOL very stu.pid statement made by beaf of course

The last time I checked, Kwara, kogi plateau, borno and other northern states voted for GEJ

but not even up to 1% from the SS and SE voted buhari or ribadu. talking of bigotry

Fake or original list is not the issues, the issue is how to bring these things out of the depth of the earth profitably. Several other industries are dependent on these primary natural resources.

gbam

1. Babagandi has done bad things but also good thing and better than GEJ

2. THE BEST PERIOD IN NIGERIA HISTORY WAS DURING IDAIGBON AND BUHARI ERA. if you were born then, you would have experienced the best of Nigeria government

3. OBJ is far better than GEJ

OBJ introduced GSM and other thing to nigeria for the first time. also he was the one that paid our debts and gave us foreign reserve excess of 60 million excess which GEJ has reduced to 20 or 10 million

WHAT HAS GEJ DONE SINCE EARLY 2010 TO LAST 2011!!!!!

scholes0:
When did Abuja become a state/region name.??
It is the FCT: [B]FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY[/B], Guyz, and not Abuja. Abuja is in the FCT.
Stop making that mistake, Nigerians.

Sorry I know that but it is a territory which must be added.

thanks for pointing that out

behind BokoHaram. All are calculated attempts to batter and destroy Mr. President's personality and government.
all in a bid to sell a wrong notion to Nigerians that the President is weak as have started hearing. They tried during OBJ's regime introducing Sharia in some Northern part of the country in attempt to distabilize government and the country. What did OBJ do? He didnt start fighting any body.How did it end? We all know the story.
Nigerians are so used to the military regime style of force, violent resolutions, avenge and threats etc. But remember
this is a pure democratic system headed by very responsible civilian in the person of GEJ who is democratic in his
actions and inactions. Lets reason. Remember, the gentility of a tiger is not the stupidity of a lion.
I thank God for giving us GEJ. Very soon Boko Haram will become extinct and obsolete. Mr. President knows what he is doing.[/quote]1. We are not complaining about Gej and Boko haram ( at least not for now)

2. OBJ introduced GSM and other thing to nigeria for the first time. also he was the one that paid our debts and gave us foreign reserve excess of 60 million excess which GEJ has reduced to 20 or 10 million

3. We are complaing that we have not seen anything GWEJ has done given the fact he has been in power since march 2010 and this tomorrow is august 2011. Please point out the single thing Gej has done unless reduceing our foreign reserves

why na, i though we were alright in agreement and as such should stop falsehood

ak47mann:
look forget about the food from the north, southern Nigeria got enough resources-es both human and natural to import food days of relying for northern farmers will soon be over

No the south does not have enough resource, 70% Nigeria population is in the north, Oil is Nigeria major export of 40% of the revenue and when combining food, gold, uranium, lead, tin, etc that the north produce, it amounts to about 60% of the other revenue.

ak47mann:
even with your so call claim that we rely on north to feed sound like a big lie cos Nigeria still spends over 3billion dollars on food importation so whats the need of you people

Yes Nigeria import food as we need varity. The north produces few variety but alot and others like rice and co can be imported although the native rice is done but not in high quantities

ak47mann:
northern Nigeria knows that they dont contribute up to 20% on Nigerians economy you have already created sharia in most of your states but still collect tax money from alcohol why are you northerners being so hypocritical 

the economy is just in lagos, sokoto, anambra, kano, rivers, and at of this 2 northern states

Leaders that are true Muslim and collect tax from alcohol is sad but unless it is from the bailey and maize that alcohol is mad from

then they are right to do so

Beaf:
You sound worse than the "rolex" inspired David West. Shame.
The only difference is that both David West and GEJ are PhD's, while you sir, are simply out of your league, like a stranded fish flapping wretchedly in the mud, gasping for air. Poor thing.

abeg shattap dai, did he talk of PhD or awaiting performance that is not coming anytime soon. stop make thing up mumu

see e head

ak47mann:
hurry up hurry up park and go what are you waiting for go enjoy your sharia states the same south that north rely for survival still get mouth to talk you people are showing us already that you want to secede from the union pls hurry up park and go, or do you want referendum?look the problem is that lets be truthful to ourselves we all tired of staying together as one country but no one have the liver to come out and voice it out, but u can feel it is on the air, people are getting tired of that name "Nigeria" you can tell, if anyone think am talking nonsense  let try and organize a simple referendum like if we  Nigerians are happy the way the country is going our poor infrastructure high cost of food,no jobs,no security to protect life and properties,no good transportation, interest rates is very high etc etc and watch and see who will for for o0ne Nigeria and who want to secede from the union you will be shock the amount of people that will turn up will be more than last election x4

no don't start this sunday the north does not rely on the south. maybe oil but the south relays on the north for food. it is a mutual relationship
