Men don't cry, but I cried!
I sent my car for service in preparation for my trip to Benue since Wednesday. The vehicle was not returned until yesterday evening.

I was very angry that the mechanic delayed my planned trip but was also glad that he brought the car back for me to leave this morning.

So I decided to drive around to be sure the car was in good condition for the trip, this was about 7.30pm...I drove up to the Games Village Traffic Junction and the car stopped.

I tried starting it and it won't start, so I parked, called the mechanic, who told me he has gone home but will see if he can make it back to me.

So I decided to start the car once more and Bang! The car burst into flames...I ran out of the car in shock and confusion. The next episode of this mishap is the reason for my narrative.

From the moving traffic, I saw men and boys park their cars and were rushing to my burning car with fire extinguishers, some were struggling to open the bonnet.

From a building inside games village, I heard women screaming and passing buckets of water, bags of detergents. I saw a guy removed his t-shirt, soaked it in water and was trying to open the bonnet with fire covering his hands.

In all this, I was just standing by a tree, with my eyes staring into space, till I saw the flames go out eventually and I heard someone asked...where is the owner of the car?

It was then and only then that I stepped forward and found myself being hugged and consoled by strangers, Nigerians, Muslims, Christians, traditionalist and may be atheist.

All joined to wish me well and they turned to their cars or homes one after the other. The last being the guy who suffers a deep cut to his leg where he was helping out.

As soon as he left, I turned to see what was left of the car and I counted 13 fire extinguishers that were used, other items that were used and also the charred remains of someone's t-shirt that was used.

Just when tears started forming in my eyes, I noticed I was not still alone, there were two policemen who helped to salvage the burning car and have chosen to remain with me till I get family and friends to come take me away.

At that moment, my belief that a New Nigeria is possible was renewed and I was proud to be a Nigerian.

I woke up this morning thinking, where and how did we get so divided and polarised as a nation, when before my own eyes I saw Musa, Obi, Femi, Andrew, Mike all helping to salvage my car, without caring who I was.

I thank God for his mercies and for the good people of Nigeria...together we shall overcome. True story by John George

Before noon tomorrow the corpse won't be there again, the cannibal among them would have taken it to their den to make nkwobi and orha soup. No be imo people?

Something is fishing o, when did Muric become a spokesperson for an igbo man.

The King of Swaziland, King Mswati III has made a declaration in the country that men are mandated to marry at least five wives or risk going to jail.

A statement according to media reports by the King called for all men in the country to marry at least five wives, assuring them that the government would pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.

“Here’s the deal, marry at least five wives and you’re assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.”

King Mswati warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”.

The order is to ensure every woman gets a husband as it is believed that men taking more wives will help women get husbands.

They should start killing these people to serve as deterrent for the other. It's becoming too much, they dont even want to stop.

What happen to LASRA?

Religion of PISS

Religion of peace.

Na only the head on her head they shaved?

If u check the woman background u will see that na people like her dey disobey their own mother but they will want to usurp their authority on their daughter. Many of them got pregnant at age 19/21 years but they won't allow their daughter to get married at the age of 24 saying she's still young.

Ipob and foolishness are like 5 & 6, the deadline is still April and some idiots are already killing herds of cows owned by their fellow countrymen and they claim the decision isn't act of jealousy. They are only sabotaging their economy.

What advantage will this news do to the lives of the teeming youths of this nation, did zuby Michael send these bloggers to help him blow d trumpet of how he live his life? This is what makes the struggling youths to consider rituals as an option.

With steady and uninterrupted supply of hard drugs into their camp I am sure they will still go back to their old way of life.

Na dem dem

Super dapper or super in diaper.

Na dem dem, after traveling back to Lagos with one small girl they will tell their landlord and neighbors say na their sister and before u know it belle go show, until children full ground.

This man needs someone to school him, he should go on Facebook and do thorough research and he will see that all those ritualist groups were created by traditionalists

So because they wore whites no mean they were yahoo Boys, maybe they disguised as such for easy access to the estate you can't tell.

Na overnight pirates will invade and vandalize everything thing. I'll like to see what this edifice will look like in d next 2 years because our maintenance culture is zero.

Now, can we say there is any difference between okorocha and gumi?

Am still wondering if the Cameroonians are more than the Egyptians on the pitch because every where I look na the Cameroonians I dey see.

The igbos are already coveting the skill mining business. SMH!

How will an average Nigerian who has d good of the nation at heart be able to contest with this huge amount of money?

Why won't they want to kill their opponents and scatter polling booths after paying this huge amount of money to get d form?

Why won't they embezzle money when they finally emerge as winner of the election?

Why won't they perpetually put the poor masses under abject poverty so as to get back all the money they spend while campaigning?

Nigeria is doom!

Maybe u need to be reminded that Eve brought a fruit to the table and that was what put the whole world in d mess we r facing today. U r right anyway.

This is a fabricated story, how on earth willnd policeman mistaken his nylon with yours, was he keeping his android phone in a nylon bag, the size of a nylon containing shoes and cord must obviously be heavier than a nylon containing just a phone. I don't find this story to be true.

If Alarabe people start retaliating killing the igbos in saki they will start crying foul that buhari caused it. Why kill an innocent man who was going about his business.

I pity those who have fallen for this guy trick they have no choice than to be praying for him not to die so they can get their money back

This is a stale news na.

Only God knows when last this power drunk politician knelt down before his biological parents. There's nothing human being can't do if they r looking for something.

........ he collected the sum of N28 million to purchase a gun truck from neighbouring Benin Republic. From Who? They should mention their sponsor's names.
