Why does it feel like I have high BP?

I met this tall luscious babe right here on Facebook called Prisca.

From cursory greetings it moved on to long amorous chats.

We would chat and chat even when my girlfriend was right there beside me. She too would be chatting and never really cared about my chats although she was very faithful to me.

At a point Prisca invited me to Abuja to come and spend a week with her. I planned and obtained a 1 week casual leave from work and lied to my girlfriend Joan that I was going to Abuja for a one week worshop.

Last Sunday morning I bathed and told Joan to park my clothes for the journey.

Dutifully she packed a bag, I gave her some pocket money for her upkeep while I would be frolicking in Abuja with my new found
love Prisca.

Prisca had refused giving me her number unless she was sure I would visit her. When I got to Abuja I chatted and told her where I was and she promptly sent me an Airtel number.

I dialled the number and it connected immediately. With amorous excitement I crooned hello?

It's the answer that's making me think I have high BP o.

Prisca: You are at New Nyanya Park right?

Me: Yes honey comb

Prisca: okay, enter another motor back to Makurdi, it is me Joan. Prisca is the name my mum gave to me. So Prisca and Joan is one and the same person my lovely man. By the way pls buy kilishi for me.

I beg I still dey Abuja o! Wetin I go do?

military have so much power in Benue, reverse is the case in Borno, where a whole plane can go missing with pilots straight, no burning of houses no killings

how will you now tell your children that an entire government could not trace missing planes for almost 2-3times? How will you tell your children that Nigeria as a whole with a general been the president with all his military skills yet banditry and terrorism volume exceeded 60%? How will you tell your children that even palliative ment for the poor could not reach them until end sars, the warehouses were looted... Like Bros you no the hear or watch news? Maybe you watch reserved nta news...

Georgekyrian:
But how will you tell your children and coming generation that during a particular government era Python swallowed money and monkey carry money. What is it that the leaders of this nation is not telling us, we are of age we need to know

Details will be brought in full, as the entire place is not allowed by military for trespass.


The Chinese man is here in Benue for a construction of yam flour factory in zaki biam , ukum LGA of Benue state. He was killed today by some unknown gun men who are said to be Gana boys.

This is a threat and creation of tension as am signing my resignation papers already. We have curfew if 6-6 already and the ban of bikes and Duck nyash car, now comes the killing of this man. I can't stay

who on earth doesn't know who Jesus was? How about Stephen?

Penguin2:

Akanbiedu:
You Jonathan worshippers sef. Who does not know Almajiri program by Jonathan, like many other of his programs, was used to siphon money?

oya u buhari worshippers, do u know how programs that have been used to siphon our country's cash? Starting from covid19, survivalfund pyes, NYIF and even agmes. Oga park well

Not until u reach Nigeria then you see the two useless tribes ruling us from inception till now will refuse giving an Igbo man that post, if u are not from the north then you must be a Hausa yuroba

LokoH:
We plenty like these in diaspora o. Occupying quality positions in the world. OK some of us do drug, but those who do drug, their contemporaries in Yoruba are into oMo oŃĨĹĔ (land grabbing). Very pathetic mediocrities in the WASTE.

when former president Goodluck started this policy of no almajiri, most political maggots in the north stood against it. They made sure they erased his plan and see his government fail. Am in the north here, if I tell you what this almajiris do, you won't believe. This boys are heartless, destructive, aggressive, thieves, love fighting on little things. Sometimes I do imagine if they are spies.

Now the rich won't let that go just like that, they are trained in the hard way, but you see, who among you suffered to attend secondary school, tertiary and Wil still allow somebody play over your intelligence? I don't think there is but the keep deceiving them that they are doing this and anything instructed by their instructor to do is for Allah. Almajiris, i have a comma for them

Una the forget this one? This Toyota duck nyash.... Well known in Benue for it fast move and popularly used by criminals

Danzakidakura:
Bro are you serious about this ?

Bros am live in Gombe

After the governor finished imposing a Muslim guy to rule over Christians in Biliri of LGA of Gombe state, the new king yesterday who was about entering the palace as the new Mai Tangale, hence the gods of the land are not pleased with the coronation, the king got paralyzed instantly on entering the palace.

Same yesterday, the gombe State governor had an accident and the driver to the governor died at spot. The governor is now abroad receiving treatment.

Do not involve yourslf in what has not been over time. The governor was wrong and the new Mai would have used knowledge to refuse as he wasn't the chosen by the people.

THE MAN, CHIEF DR TERKULA SUSWAM

THE MAN CHIEF DR. TERKULA SUSWAM: A BORN PHILANTHROPIST AND PEACE-MAKER

Born in 1962 to the noble parentage of Zaki Suwam Tingir and Chief Mrs. Ashiawua Suswam Tingir at Anyiin, Gaambe-Tiev, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, Chief Dr Terkula Joseph Suswam, a born philanthropist and peace-maker embarked on academic journey of life in 1969, starting from elementary level to tertiary institution. He successfully bagged a Doctor of Philosophy, PhD in 2009 with Benue State University, Makurdi.

A highly resourceful scholar of Diplomatic History, Chief Dr Terkula Suswam continued to demonstrate his academic talent. His excellent presentation at the Viva Voce inspired the panellists, led by professor Toyin Falola of the University of Texas who recommended him for instant appointment at the Benue State University where he utilised his reservouir of knowledge as a visiting lecturer in the History Department.

As a born philanthropist and peace-maker, Dr. Terkula Suswam while alive did not confine his ocean of knowledge to only academics but diversified it to politics and business so as to speedily actualise effectively his philanthropic and peace-making spirit.

In the field of politics, the political enigma had made significant contributions within and without Benue state. His involvement into politics became necessary when he cleverly discovered that, engaging in the process of charting a new political direction for the state was the fundamental touchstone in the way forward. He then became actively involved in shaping the political direction of the state.

While swimming successfully in the pool of politics in Nigeria, Dr. Suswam discovered salient problems of his lovely people and was inspired to serve humanity where he was deeply inebriated into it. Having studied the culture, nature and structure of Benue state, the business tycoon realised that one of the fundamental setbacks of the state is unemployment and again resolved to set up business centres of international repute.

Today, through his numerous business outlets such as Ashitech Global Resources, Ashitech Digital Colour Separation, Ashi Waves Radio F.M. 99.9, Ashi Rice Milling Farm and Ashitech Integrated Farm as well as Ashi Polytechnic, Anyiin among others, a good number of youths have been employed, a venture that made him among the highest private employers of labour in the state.

Like his fellow Nigerian philanthropists such as Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Mike Adenuga, and Raymond Dokpesi, the distinguished son of Nigeria and born humanitarian had consistently dedicated his commitment to the services of humanity by diffusing his personal resources in addressing the critical and basic infrastructural needs of the society especially at the grassroots.

Some of his self-sponsored community based projects while alive include: the construction of a 4-bedroom block and renovation of principals office for Gaambe-Tiev Community Secondary School, Anyiin; construction of a gigantic Catholic church building at Ikyȏchi and the construction of a major street at Anyiin, Logo local government area of Benue state.

In 2012, the born humanitarian initiated a project of roofing people’s houses upon erection, a project that encouraged over 250 beneficiaries.

Late Chief Dr Terkula Suswam had also settled hospital bills of patients at NKST Anyiin, Federal Medical Centre, Makurdi and Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi at different times. A very few among the beneficiaries were: Mr. Joseph Aondoungwa, Member Friday, Mrs. Doosuur Donatus and Miss Doosuur Joseph, a 17 year old girl whose ailment made the father to abandon her.

That is not all; Chief Joseph Suswam had paid fines for inmates of the three prisons in Benue state and donated clothes worth one point six million naira to inmates at the Makurdi, Gboko and Otukpo prisons respectively.

Moreover, it could also be recalled that when some Idoma residents of Jos, Plateau state were displaced by the crisis and returned to Benue in order to seek refuge, the lover of humanity was touched and quickly donated relief materials, including 12 motorcycles, one hundred bags of rice and five hundred thousand naira cash to them.

Like the biblical Joseph, the son of Jacob, Late Joseph Suswam also donated relief materials worth over one million naira and undisclosed amount of money to dejected youths of the Tiv/Fulani crisis in Iorza, Tse-Igbul, and Mue-Akaaer in conjunction with the donation of assorted materials to Saint Michaels Catholic Church, Adedem and NKST Church, Chembe in Gaambe-Tiev, Logo local government area of the state.

It is due to his immeasurable contributions to the socio-economic and religio-political development of Benue state that Tor Tiv the Fourth, HRH Orchivirigh Dr Alfred Akawe Torkula conferred on him the chieftaincy title of Zege Iwanger i Tiv, which means The Great Illumination of Tiv. It was also in recognition of these outstanding commitments to the well being of his people that he was unanimously elected the Tor Sankera by kingmakers, a position they believed he would effectively use for the protection of his people and the projection of peace, unity and progress.

Through his radio station, the Tiv honorific title holder had promoted the Tiv culture and agriculture. His devotion to community development while alive equally attracted him international acclaim and recognition when a United Nation Body, House of Fame conferred on him the award of Pillar of Community Development at the Museveni Hall in Rome, Italy.

While some public affairs analysts attributed his humanness and generosity to his religious background, others attributed it to parental influence since his father; Zaki Suswam Tingir Dom Agya was a generous Chief, an attribute that attracted the attention of Tiv popular singers of his time.
The Late Zege Iwanger i Tiv was quite aware of the sermon on the Mountains Blessed are the peace makers, for they will be called sons of God. He was equally aware of the proverbial phrase an eye for an eye makes the world blind. This explained why the peace loving son of Gaambe Tiev had constantly dedicated his life in crusading for peace.

For instance, when the Tiv/Fulani crisis in Gaambe-Tiev was aggravating, Late Chief Suswam took the matter upon his shoulders and left no stone unturned to ensure that the persistent killing and displacement of his people was permanently tackled.

He employ peaceful and lawful approaches by writing letters to the immediate past president of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, the then president-elect, Gen. Mohammedu Buhari, the then Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant Gen. Kenneth Minima among others.

The political enigma and business mogul also had series of meetings with the Benue state police commissioner and the Commandant, 72 Battalion, Makurdi which led to the deployment of both military and mobile police officers in Gaamber-Tiev.

That is not all, Late Chief Dr Terkula Suswam also initiated peace meeting where Gaambe-Tiev Tiv elders and Fulanis played a novelty football match at Anyiin and the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Tiv of Gaambe-Tiev and Fulanis residing in the area.

His restoration of peace in Gaambe-Tiev prompted distinguished Benue politicians, traditional and religious leaders to acknowledge and commend him.

Notable among them were the executive governor of Benue state, Dr. Samuel Ortom, Tor Tiv IV, Alfred Akawe Tokula and the then Dean, Ugba Deanery, Diocese of Katsina-Ala, Rev. Dr. Nicolas Adumbu who described Chief Suswam as a Great Ambassador of Christ.

Adieu, the born philanthropist, peacemaker, custodian of Tiv culture and Pillar of Community Development, Chief Dr. Terkula Suswam.

that man is the only politician in Benue now that you can meet face to face at anytime in place, he doesn't have police guys guiding him. Drives his self, make sure he makes a routine of survey round all his business once a week. I missed him aswear, moments with Terkula were always sweet moment.. God

Tejiri41:
What of the MOPOL attached to him?

Funny enough, Fulani's respect that man as he did all he could to bring peace in that axis. Terkula this kind of a person that shows interest in anything that will bring peace in a place.

I remember an incident where fulani insulted our traditional council in Benue that, with what Terkula suswam does, yet he still doesn't deserve to be crowned a king? That was when they established first class chief's ruling each an every fed constituency in the state, he contested for Tor sankera but was denied of it and given to Abu kingshuluwa. .

Fulani's won't rise any war because of his death instead Tiv people will commit more wahala shall

The herdsmen are at it again.

Oyinem:
May his gentle soul R.I.P . But the man took the whole equipments from Radio Benue Substation Idekpa to his village and used it to open Ashi wave Radio station. Till today that Radio Benue Substation Idekpa have been closed down permanently. Thank God David Mark open Joy Fm Otukpo. I remember back then during Suswan era, if you did not print or photocopy your documents from his business center in Makurdi then don't waste your time submitting it in any state government agencies or offices in Makurdi.

But I wonder where you guys gather sources from. Idekpa substation is still working perfectly.
Those guys are rich enough to buy those equipment. How much does it cost or take to start up a radio station that you think the suswams can't afford? Even someone that is not from Benue knows that suswam is worth more than just an ordinary radio station.

He is dead and you know how he has helped in maintaining peace in that area, please don't always be too bias

.

The older brother to the serving senator, representing Benue north east, Senator Gabriel Suswam, was shot dead in his town Anyiin, Chief Dr Terkula Suswam PhD, was the former chairman board of directors radio Benue, lecturer BSU,history department. Also the CEO Ashi waves radio 99.9fm, proprietor Ashi polytechnic Anyiin and cofounder of ashitec conglomerate.

Sir you have protected sankera from been a war zone but now, you are no more. Cont to rest on

Condolences are pouring in from his admirers and people of Benue State.
