I know this might not be totally right but at least it will make me feel great. Egbon wants to get married in march and automatically I will become the best Man. But I don't want him to get married to her. It is not because of her but the dad.

It all started back in 1998 my dad was having a court case with our supposed in-law over our house. The house was sold to my dad by the late late brother of our supposed in-law. That was even before my dad got married. We have lived in that house for more than 10yrs. My siblings and I were born there. After the death of the brother in 1998 he dragged my dad to court saying his brother was only a benefactor and does not have the legal right to sell the building and their late father made him the executor of His properties according to the late father's will. My parents were partners in business and their office was located at the ground floor of the building where we lived. Their goods were also stored there (plumbing equipment).

Prior to joining the plumbing business, my dad was into commercial inter-state transport services after suffering heavy losses he auctioned what was left and joined my mum in the plumbing business. A year later he was in court with our supposed in-law. The legal battle started in December. Egbon travelled with an aunt of mine who had won a visa lottery the previous year. My sisters were older than the guys. they were already in boarding school. I was the king of the house. My dad suffered many embarrassment at the hands of our supposed in-law. He dragged the case for some years money meant for business ended up in legal battles. My dad had to borrow to pay suppliers. He couldn't not order for new materials anymore and the business eventually collapsed. Extended families gave their support until 2003 when a lagos high court handed our supposed in-law victory

My dad wanted to appeal the judgement but his lawyer told him to get an apartment with whatever he has left. Although my parents thought they hid everything from us. Perhaps my sisters didn't notice because they were not always home but I saw my mum cry severally. I saw the fears in my dad eyes. I listened to their whispering at night I knew we were doomed. Our supposed In-law sold the house to a bank. The bank gave two weeks to evacuate. But before the notice expired they brought sledge hammer and started destroying the building with our properties in it. My dad tried to protest but he was beaten and arrested. For the first time I saw our "Supposed In-law" that day ordering the boys to destroy everything. My dad was later released days after. I went to live with my cousins. My sisters also went to live with my other cousins.

In 2006 I wrote a mail to Egbon I narrated all that happened to him and he vowed he was going to ensure that they payed for it dearly. Few years later, I got admission into the university my parents embraced christ; But I still feel bitter. How time flies, my sisters are both married and it's just me preparing for the life of a bachelor; Until recently my brother told me his plans of getting married, I noticed it because he has visited us more than usual last year and had extensive discussions with my parents. But whenever He came back He still promised my dad that he will never forget all that happened. My dad told him that was in the past but I know what my brother was capable of doing as regards family.

He brought his supposed girl friend (I believe that is all she will ever be) to the house last christmas everyone welcomed her but immediately I set my eyes on her, she looked like the man that was giving orders to tear down our house. I asked her for her surname, when she said ****US, I knew she was the daughter of our long time enemy. When they left, my mum and dad begged me that I shouldn't say anything. That they have forgiven him. She invited my parents and I during the new year but I declined. I have also told my brother I can't be his best man. He thought am joking cos it was via mail. My brother had assured me severally whenever I told him what became of us after then that incident and he told me "I will give up anything to deal with the Man that messed with my family". I guess I will have to tell him the whole truth. But my parents keep calling me every single day to beg. "Saying I should not bring him misery. That they were happy he decided to bring home a cool headed lady".....But I just can't let it go. Unless my brother and I will decide not to be brothers anymore because I will never go to his house if he marries her. I will never associate myself with him or anything that has to do with him.

I have finished typing the truth I want to send the mail to him...I don't know why I am hesitating (I guess my parents will forgive me sooner or later) but he has to know the truth!!!!....i can't dine with my enemy!.....I don't want to see her dad face again....never...I hope am doing the right thing....i think I am.....perhaps I am...

Tell your brother the truth, if he decides to continue that's his business...
But do tell him to free your conscience.... Here's the thing.. There's nothing hidden under the sun, he will eventually know sooner or later..
Cheers!!

Its a pity to see the Mbaka that was revered by his people is now rejected by same.
Am a catholic and all my life I know that the only priest that can't be transfered is the pope

You are absolutely correct,,..... "The only priest that can't be transferred is the pope.... " but some priest seems like they are above that transfer rule like Fr. Mbaka and Fr. Edeh in Elele

Could this be the missing 2016 budget

Please give that money to Dasuki to share to Nigerians. He knows how to share money without ethnic or religious bias

Well that's actually a policy in most universities... But one thing for 9Ja be say them sabi make laws and policies but implementation is the wahala

pyyxxaro:

mart2k:
Commom sense suppose to tell u dat there is no way Govt wl just go n demolish d place without informing them. If uar d govt, wl u do d same?

But someone mentioned that the place was on a lock down after xmas and the people weren't allowed access to move thier goods..
Could you rebut this claim?

IyaIode:
They must have given them a notice, there are many markets and structures with notice of demolition but the traders rather move their things will start bribing government officials.

I am a bit concerned if LASG actually gave this guys notice, am not saying they did or didnt and can't assume anything... But from the statement released by LASG, it did not mention that the government gave the traders the appropriate notice..... Just saying.

Aromas:
Nigerians sha

That's not a big deal ma broda...

Why do celebrate this wicked politicians

If he had built nice infrastructures, created jobs the kids parents might have gotten jobs and paid the bills themselves...

By the way, it is the governments duty, obligation to take care of its citizens and its the citizens right and not a privilege to demand such from the government...

Cheers

The bitter bite

Destined2win:
I am talking about something positive.

What did you learn from him. Be sincere with your soul, body and spirit

What is it to learn from Jonathan

The man that couldn't build a bridge for his native Bayelsa What did he even do for his community Opened his farm in Abuja instead of at least in his native state to create jobs Nothing to help his kins men..
Haven't you heard about this corruption flying around
It's about time people start to hold this man accountable.. He mismanaged the country.. Crippled our economy... What was his notable achievements as a president Steady power supply Second niger bridge Free education What exactly

saintkel:
GEJ pls come back, I so much miss u

To loot the country more abi

Haven't you hears about the boat loads of corruption flying around lately all these happened under his watch... What did do about them He might not know about all the deals,what of the ones he knew about?? Like the $20bn.. His response was its Americas money they would know if such amount of money is missing.. What an idiiot?

Cc:lalasticlala

Jona is clueless indeed...

I guess am vindicated

Still waiting for my special appointment from bubu

Could someone please enlighten me on this subject... Why these attacks on Shiite muslimsare they boko haram? Or are they sponsors or .. I can't seem to figure out why they are brutally attacking them....

merry02:
Some APC/Buharist apologist ll not see anything bad in this undemocratic treatment. Till ll tell

Sir, there's nothing undemocratic about that... He refused a police order.. Did you hear him shout am not going any where .... Had he complied, the police won't have exercised thier grab and drag style... not funny though but its interesting that this so called big bosses see what the average joe goes through in the hands of the police..

natasha:
Whilst I dont love Linda I admire her work ethics. I know for a fact during the election period she posted on her blog that reps from BOTH APC & PDP were approaching her to run ads and sponsored posts with big money but she didnt know whether to accept or not.She eventually did and we saw a huge push on adverts from both major parties so even in a court of law, they cannot charge her with anything.Companies pay several millions for 30 second ads in the superbowl, Xfactor finals, UEFA CL finals because of the audience market/numbrrs.Stella dimoko did the same, Bella Naija did the same....she provided a platform for which she was paidSo pls lets be factual Furthermore the reason why its more expensive to advertise on Facebook than your local newspaper is due to the subscribers hence linda would probably charge more for ads (rightly so) Last point .....if GEJ is found to have spent 50million of food supplies for children in JC penny or on a BMW, you dont go and charge BMW for crime....why because they provided a service.

am very pleased she has released a statement to this allegation.

As nigerians, we must learn to be genuinely pleased when someone does well or succeed in life. And just maybe, the gods/God/Universe might smile on us.
If you can't be happy for someone, then dont be sad or jealous rather be indifferent. ?......or better still learn their success story and apply it.

We are all witnesses to the fact that linda isnt an overnight story.....she worked and put in years and effort 2 her passion. Let us as youths celebrate a real success story.....no silverspoon...juju things...., sugardaddy things....afrocandy things ...just hardwork irrespective of your tribe or religious beliefs.....

Nice write up though and i admire Lindas work ethics as well . But with the way things are going with the Dasukigate.. I don't know what to believe... Dokepsi gave the same work excuse as well.. He collected billions from NSA for PDP advert ... Who are we kidding

In as much as i admire linda, i find it hard to believe.. If throughly she didn't receive the said amount from Dasuki gate.. Then she should file a lawsuit against that blogger that reported it for character assassination..defamation e.t.c. Then i would believe her if she sues and wins

Cheers!!

This nonsense economic policies is what they call voodoo economics....

Groups E and F looks tough.. My opinion tho

This needs to be retitled : Nigerians would watch all the Corrupt PDP members go to prison
Mehn this guys really swallowed all the countries resource... Look at all this corruption..investigation going on about billions missing i thought he would address that

iykenex:
My cousin had average score 286, JAMB score 262, PUTME score 310 yet couldn't secure admission for Med. Surg. After, she bought supplementary form #10,500 for another course, yet couldn't secure admission. Meanwhile those that their list came out had a lower average scores, in fact she scored above all them

Guys, is there anything I can do to protest against this act on her behalf and secure justice?
See pic below

Some one suggested you send out tweet to some people... Ben Bruce et al
I would add PMB and Osibanjo even Abia state governor if he has a tweeter account.. This is pure injustice and a shame to education in Nigeria

Get a piece of paper, write down the qualities you want from your future wife to posses..
Like good looking, big boobs nyash..... Graduate..God Fearing or Allah fearing as the case might be ...good manners....e.t c then run those xtics against your lady friends.

I believe this "might" help narrow down your options..
Goodluck man..
Cheers!!!
