We warned against APC

It seems like situations replicate in this life. This vividly reminded me of years back when I was in the same situation. You would think some people are nice until you live with them.

UNICAL and bad news is like 5&6

overseasnbeyond:
This is a disgrace coming out from the IGBO tribe, how on earth you called this death trap a cruise boat?
You claim to be the best in everything, imagine the wood carcass you called a cruise boat.
where are thou billionaires that y'all boast about?

So Calabar is Igbo tribe? I keep wondering which school some of you here finished from.

May the missing ones be found.

Calabar Boat Mishap: C'River Governor Orders Investigation Into Cruise Boat Accident, Commends Navy, Villagers For Prompt Response

Cross River State Governor, Senator (Prince) Bassey Otu, has ordered investigation into the cruise boat mishap involving 14 medical students at the popular Marina Resort in Calabar, the state capital.

The governor, who is saddened that 3 of the medical students, who are in Calabar for the Nigeria Medical Students Games, are yet-to-be found, charged security and rescue agencies as well as local villagers involved in the operations to find the missing students and reunite them with their families.

Otu decried the safety standards at the resort, vowing that anyone found guilty to have compromised on safety would be severely sanctioned.

“The news of a cruise boat mishap at the Marina Resort, a tourist and relaxation destination in Calabar, is saddening and calls for concern not only as your governor but as a parent.

“To imagine that the boat was overcrowded and some of those on it were without life jackets is of even greater concern, and the more reason why the state government will be investigating the incident and all those found culpable of having compromised on safety standards will face the wrath of the law.

“As a government, our administration remains committed to protecting the sanctity of life and providing an enabling environment for business, tourism and peaceable living. Therefore, any untoward action that could derail our objective will not be tolerated,” the governor stated.

He further expressed his joy that all but for one of the rescued students were out of hospital and was confident that the remaining one will pull through as doctors say he is stable and responding to treatment.

Governor Otu was full of praise for personnel of the Nigerian Navy and local villagers who responded swiftly to the hapless revellers and rescued 11 of the 14 passengers on the boat.

I can relate bro. What have I not done in this life just to survive?

May God be for you bro. I know it's not easy but please try and stay strong.

There was a heavy downpour in Calabar yesterday that got some part of the city heavily flooded. Consequently, some cars were later found in strange positions due.

Nigeria don cast. What is going on in Nigeria?

Lol @comments

What say you?

Earlier thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7160931/see-python-calabar-man-killed

It was properly garnished and sent it down for digestion to take place before it will be finally sent down to permanent resting point (toilet).

By roasting it this way, I'm sure the man has no intention to price beef throughout the month.

Just like that?

Lalasticlala, mynd44, seun etc

Rejoice with those rejoicing.

A Calabar based man has just killed a python this morning and apparently, it seems like a big blessing to the man and his family.

In the Facebook post made by a lady, suspected to be the man's wife or daughter, she tagged the python whose head has been cut off "blessed weekend", meaning, d weekend don set be that.

I know say a certain moderator on nairaland shares in their weekend blessing and wish for some portion when fully garnished.

Aljazeera just did a piece on how dirty Calabar is

https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2022/5/13/the-decaying-underbelly-of-calabar-nigerias-cleanest-city

Talking about dirt, in my area, it became unbearable and we had to task ourselves, hired a truck and pay loader to take the rubbish away. And this is a state managed by someone who wants to be the next president of Nigeria. The thunder that will fire Ayade will be constructed by Buhari in Daura after his return from office.

I use this medium to call on appropriate authorities to wade into the matter and ensure light is restored to Calabar and Cross River state as a whole.

51 days and counting without any supply of electricity in the entire city of Calabar and Cross River state as a whole.

Whoever can help should intervene please.

Stomach infrastructure at work.

Dammmm Niggaar

I actually had an idea on how to go about assisting the less privileged and misfortuned in this shiiithole just like you are having right now but the thought of crooked souls disguising and taking all the help killed that idea in a sec

Pathetic. I totally understand your position.

samuelson06:


Can we meet and talk about this? I want to join my faith with yours let's see what we can do.

Thank you very much. Please chat me up on: 090 30 100 280. Meanwhile, close the spaces when copied.

Thank you. Will contact you.

Hello, Mr. Tony Elumelu.

My name is Professor M.E.I. I know you are very knowledgeable and passionate about helping less privileged children, especially these unfortunate ones that have found themselves out on this street, exposed to hunger, crime and worst still, their untimely death in the hands of desperate wealth-seekers.

Over the years, I have seen firsthand some of the great things you are doing for society’s men and women in your Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship foundation.

In my view, I think you should benevolently extend some of that good into helping children. True that you—or anybody else reading this, do not owe these children any allegiance or aid. It is unfortunate that one would never know why their parents have forsaken them in this manner.
The individuals they consider their world has let them down. Please, do not let them down.

This is my email address iamvarang007@gmail.com. I'd love to know how I can possibly utilize whatever resources you’ve decided to, in the course of good Justice and natural conscience, help these children. I’m willing to put them through school, and personally ensure that in a decades’ time, we turn around the lives of these children.

I'd totally understand if you cannot respond to this because of your busy schedule, but I will be glad if you do.

Any email address this can be forwarded to?

Dear op

The one thing you fail to realize is that not all of these kids you see on the streets of Calabar are actually homeless or orphans.

Most of them actually ran away from homes, most of them still have parents looking for them.

The boys always end up becoming petty thieves and the girls always end up becoming hookers.

Another annoying fact is that most of these skolombo kids love the streets and don't want to leave because believe it or not there are actually making money on these streets from stealing and begging.

They're gradually becoming a nuisance to calabar and i just hope something is done about it fast...

Your last paragraph is the reason for this thread.

Minime10:



These are skolombo gang na

Are there no ways skolombo gang can be rehab?

Pathetic I must say.

Cool write up, any images?

Check up again.

Can we help the kids and help the society at large?

I think no matter what are the offences of these kids, they shouldn't be left completely in the street. Or is there nothing at all we as a society can do to cater for these kids? Whether we like it or not, these kids are only growing up to become hardened criminals - future armed robbers, terrorists, kidnappers, ritualists, rapists, political assassins and more.

We are already battling with insecurity around the country. Meanwhile, we are also grooming others that will become future threat to the security of the country.

I really felt bad seeing kids in the position I did last night. What can we do to help them please? Any any government agencies, NGO or individuals that can pick up their case and give them life worth living? I don't think anyone deserves to sleep so openly outside like this, not to talk of kids.

For the sake of humanity, I therefore volunteer myself for any assignment that could bring succor to these kids.

People have lost hope in the country.
