Story for the gods, post the one you took during udughan tenure

Post the current picture so we can see

Does anyone remember when Oshiomole was the NLC president and pretended to be fighting for the masses he was busy paving his own way politically

Nigeria jaga jaga. Just like Tinubu pocketed Lagos. Every ex governor is now form governor pseudo Tinubu.

Shame on them all.

cjudy:
Oga na lie you lie.

Post the pictures of Asaba international airport and Warri airport and let the world be the judge

cjudy:
Shut your smelling mouth up, who is Jollof to details what's happening in Delta. I live in Delta and I can tell you Okowa is doing a wonderful work compare to the last governor Udughan. He's trying all his possible best to fix the state up.

If you need to attack Jollof you dm him and fight it out.

Regarding my post, na lie I lie that's fact

Village people decided to reason hin matter.

But na God-win!!

Shameful that with all the money entering Delta state, they can't do anything meaningful with it. Look at the airport, an embarrassment!!!!!

Warri airport, forget it, Effrun.... dont mention.

Shame shame shame... yet we blame the federal government about everything but the things we could do ourselves, things that FG dont have control over, we turn blind eyes to them.

Shame shame shame!!!

Scatterscatter:
What is this one saying

You that's the truth.

The main issue we have in this country is that we fail to hold our leaders accountable. We worship them yet burn a handset thief, a petty criminal.

Scatterscatter:

Nursing assistant certification(CNA) is no biggie,less than $1300 and it does not stop you from working while pursuing it.

If her children are like 8,9 years old,she will be fine. Some things will give way but it will pay off eventually for all of them.

If she migrates legally , it will be easier for her too.

No be wetin She tell me, have visited her in Chicago and seen things for myself,btw.

Your ex-staff haven't told you the full story yet. In the state if Illinois. You can't even enroll in CNA class without having a work authorization and your SSN. Same with Nursing school.

How was she able to legalize, if she didn't marry, she applied for asylum.

The help OP need is how to survive, not really how to get there. And survival starts with obtaining the right document.

, 500 wetin, oga it's 500,000 dollars, after you invest, they'd give you citizenship immediately

4mykids:
My reason for japa-ing is just for the emotional well-being of my kids and I.
I have a good paying job actually in administration with years of experience although my degree is in the sciences. I also in my spare time do a bit of freelancing (write and transcribe).
Truth is that I just want to be far from Nigeria, it can even be in any other favourableAfrican country. I deserve that peace of mind, my kids too. I'm not running away from anyone. I just need to start my life afresh with my kids.

I really feel you. I dont have any connection in terms of traveling, ofcourse I dont work at the Embassy.

Few advice though, real truth here. I dont know much money you have to say enough money. Living abroad is very expensive. Now, figure this, dont let anyone fool you about paying 800k or 1m to get a working permit for any western country, yes I said any western country. That is a LIE.

Life is very difficult if you dont have the right document, number one, not many landlord will want to rent to you, you can't obtain drivers license in some state (U.S). The inconvenience is just too much and unless you have unlimited funds, few months down the line, since no income is coming in, you will deplete your reserve and boom just like that, you go from frying pan to fire.

Say, you have your papers... one hurdle out of the way, the another hurdle there is your kids.. reason, if you go to work, who will watch your kids for you after they get off from school. In some states in the U.S, kids 12 and below can not be left alone otherwise CPS will take them from you and they becomes wards of the state.

I will advice you though, be careful, think every ideas through before you leap, once you leap , you are out of your comfort zone and mistake could be disastrous. I lived in Canada and U.S . Sojourned Europe for a while. I can tell you good and bad stories of people that were in a similar condition. Your best bet is, what ever country you choose, from your story coming out of bad divorce traumatized, the kids traumatized too and possibly your life in danger, you could be able to obtain asylum. Once you get your paper, just be involved in the community you live mostly your church, there night be a support group for women, make friends and..... all the best.

Again, look before you leap!!!

Lovely but why their daughter come fair for face leaving her hands out and both parents are dark oh

shugabasbn:
Good news, I have a brother like that, the guy can draw anything n I prayed his works too will be well know very soon

Open up a thread and post some of his works.
You never know.....


Just make sure all his works are signed before counterfeiters snatch businesses away from him.



God Bless!!

What's the fuss all about? If they fail to turn it in.. just revoke the passports in the system and have them embarrass themselves at the airport.

Smh

The heart of man!!

Biggermembersro:
Some people's sole aim in this world is to provoke people intentionally, I am a "slow to react to anger" kind of person and I always stay in my lane and mind my business, once I smell trouble coming from afar, I run to the opposite direction as fast as my leg can carry me, I come from a tribe where you have to respect elders no matter the situation same as what my Bible says so what gives abeg.......


My husband always praise his mum cos she trained him to med school here in U.S.A, of course who wouldn't just like I don't joke with my dad cos he did well for his six kids, so he adores his mum, praises her in every situation, always at her beck and call, I didn't see it as a big deal cos, well, it's his mum, we met here in NY, he and his family stay in Maryland while I was schooling in NY, the plan was when we get married I'll go back and forth till I finish school then move to Maryland, so I took in, you know first pregnancy how difficult it is, so one of those days i went to ML for the weekend one time, during that period, his mum had a get together so everyone is expected to be there, being in my first trimester, I was sick and told her I can't be there, she insisted and I told her I'll try, when the time came I was too ill to go anywhere so I didn't go, all for his mum to come later that night and was shouting saying and I quote "when I tell my son your husband to run he will run, even if I tell him to jump he will do just that so who are you to tell me you can't come, what silly sickness, if I blow that your belly, highest is you'll loose the pregnancy and then take in again,nothing is going to happen" that is exactly what she said, I was shocked, my husband was there looking he didn't say anything, his father was there, he shouted at her that why would she say something like that, his mum shut him down saying all manner of unsayable things because she was more like the breadwinner, his sister, that one cannot talk if not the mother will insult her very existence just because she got pregnant out of wedlock but she still married the father ooo, me, my mouth was open, I couldn't talk cos I dont even know what to say, when they left hubby didnt even try to ease my mind or anything, the next day I jejely left for NY, vowing that my leg will never step into ML anymore.

Sincerely I was tempted to abort and divorce my husband because I don't understand how someone can say evil like that, even if it was a joke, that was nonsense, since then I've been in NY, I gave birth here, Dre has been the one coming here, it's not like me and his mum don't talk, she calls and we talk, sometimes I call too, all for recently, infact last week Dre says he got an opening for a job here and he wants to take it, I blatantly told him NO, because his parents couldnt work anymore due to health and all so they are staying with him in ML, him moving here means his mum will do that too, I told him no that I like things the way they are, no issues, nothing, I cannot stay in the same house with his mum because we will have issues that one is certain, he started shouting, I reminded him of what his mother said two years ago, he now said it is the past, which past? Now that I'm working I am expected to leave my babies with her, call me delusional the instinct of a mother is to protect her children, even if she may not do anything, we will still have issues and I don't want that before someone say I'm disrespectful when I talk back.

If I decide to turn American now, I'll just tell him he can't bring anyone here without my permission, but no, I won't tell him that, some of their laws here is stupid to be honest and I'm a nice person and I was born and bred in the north in Nigeria also I don't want to escalate issue, I am the only one here, my family is in Nigeria and i never mentioned any of this to them so it won't turn to family issues, now he's not talking to me saying he will take drastic measures, it will not pass divorce and custody battle of which I know I will win but I don't want that for my kids, they need their parents in the same home not divorced, my own is he should stay where he is and take care of his parents and continue worshiping his mum, is it that hard?

I dey vex abeg, pls advice on other options fam.

I feel very sorry you are going through this and from your write up, it seems you are a nice person.

Considering America and their laws, they should have been the ones stressed up and not you but like you said, you choose a different path.

This situation weakens me because I have witnessed a similar situation myself.

Only thing I could say is, do not blind side your family completely. Remember his family is here in the U.S while yours is outside the U.S.

I am not saying call your village people and complain. You could tell your mom unto mother / daughter talk or your sister as sister/sister talk.

Just incase of incasity. Recall, from what you said, your husband stated, he will take drastic measures? Who knows what he is thinking. It is nice to share with Nairaland family, but remember you can't blindside your blood family. Blood is thicker than water..

You know what I mean?

Africa Oh my Africa

Life lessons to learn.

Nothing lasts forever.

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

People that messed up their lifes because of Black berry.

Soon, Mercedes Benz will be used as a Taxi in Ibadan

And this guy is supposed to be the Senate president??

Davash222:
With due respect to ‘Mr’ Peter, you just acting like a kid. Marriage doesn’t make one a Man. It takes more than marriage to be a Man.

This is business!!

Starkid3010:
they will never listen to that (parents)
Those girls know How To manipulate things
They won't even listen to you.... They will only judge...
Guess you cnt understand this

I know where you are coming from but still and yet still the gentleman still have do tell the parents.

Personally, I have been a big advocate of doing what you can within your reach, things you can't control , oh well!!

It is strongly recommended that he tells the parents everything, let it be that that they didn't want to take action because if water pass garri!... no matter how genuine this guy might appear, he will hear nwi from the family and matter of the whole village will turn against him. It is better he start talking before it is too late.

firstbornson:
Haven't done this before, but I want to know your honest, experienced and well thought out opinions. I'm really depressed but I won't take Snipper (that devil is a liar). If you don't have anything serious and reasonable to say, please, just read comments (I know as e dey be for here, sometimes).

Its quite a long read. Apologies for any grammatical or typographical error encountered.

Here is my story.

My younger sister who is staying with me disrespects me alot, and she doesn't take my advice. My parents stay very far away and I feel responsible for her. It frustrates me whenever I tell her something and she will wait to do it at her own time or not do it at all. She even sometimes abuses me indirectly.

She is 19, came to stay with me last year November, for a Predegree program, after staying at home for two years without admission. After the first semester of her program, her result was released and it was very disappointing. She made 51% in only one course of four courses, while others are below that. To be honest, I felt I failed in my responsibilities of giving her the right counsel, motivating her, and all that. All she does is press her phone all night long, that's if she isn't watching a movie with her phone. She'll sleep and wake up the next morning by 8 or 9am.

Recently, there's this guy who happens to be my late landlord's first son in the compound where we stay that she has been spending too much time with in dark corners and I can tell in my gut that he's up to no good. He doesn't go to work, school, church, nowhere. He just seats at home all day, smoking weed and any other smokable substance he can lay his hands on. Sometimes, his friends come around and they smoke and play PES 2011 on a laptop. Lest I forget, he's also a cultist. He has tried on several occasions to make me a yahoo boy, but I had to consciously refuse.

My apologies for the long read.

About a week ago, this guy asked her to cook indomie for him, and she did, using our gas, without telling me. This got me really up set. I had to take several deep breaths. I calmed down and allowed her finish. After she was done, I asked her to seat down and we started talking. While we were talking, she started responding rudely to me.

This made me hit her for the first time in 19 years (I hate hitting them). To my utmost surprise, she hit me back. That singular act made her receive a very hard beating that she sustained lots of injuries. She immediately called home and my parents where now shouting at me on phone. My dad came the next day and said lots of things. My mom said lots of things on phone which just piss me off the more, called me all sought of names. Said I shouldn't allow the devil that is controlling take me close to my sister.

Right now, I hate all of them. My dad, mum, and sister. If I was financially buoyant enough, I would have moved out of this house. I feel really depressed, being having nightmares and I so much hate the fact that am still living here.

By the way, am male, 24, studying Biochemistry, should have finished my first degree last year but I'm having an extra year (3 spill over courses).

How do I move from here? Advice me.

Your dad and mom called and yelling and all.

Did you tell them why you did what you did (not that beating her was the best option)


But at least does your parents know your sisters changed attitude??, her hanging around with a "cultist" , her failing all her courses. Her action of using your gas to cook indomie for the cultist guy? You better tell them so they know.. if she carry belle , your own don finish.

Open your mouth and tell your parents the whole story before it is too late !!

The building Engineer was also trapped

I hope they all will be rescued!!

Possibly the truck was overloaded.

Cows are heavy animals and move about a lot. Two cows fight for space in the truck us enough movement to make the truck uncontrollable.
