Miramonica:
If you're someone like me that works from home, you will agree that cooking in your house is more expensive as you will eat more.

But if you are 9-5, eating out is cheaper.

I fit cook 5cups of rice now, before evening I don finish am, come dey fine food to chop again.

All illegal Nigerians MUST be deported. We MUST all join hands and build our country.
Send them all home! Let them come back home.

The South East, North East, South South and North Central needs us all back home to develop our land.

I will never understand what people stand to gain by keeping dangerous pets...!

That a dog or any other pet is tame and friendly with you the owner doesn't make it any less dangerous towards others.

I came close to being seriously bitten by dogs back in secondary school, and the experience left a mental scar for life.

Wife and kids requested for 0ne as a pet recently... The kain eye wey I look them, all of them withdrew sharpaly!


Love pets all you want... That's your business!

Just keep them the fvck out of normal human habitation and interaction. Period!!!




Make una dey get sense.

Idye:
Thanks for your concern. I will do as you've said. My life is precious to me and my family.

I actually do not know where to post this. But I believe I can get the needed traffic and advice here.

Yesterday I read with Sadness, tears and pains about the gruesome murder of a security man by two dogs. Up till this moment, I haven't been myself due to the experiences I've had and the psychological impact of the death of that security guard.

Here is a Brief Experience.

The house I live has no borehole or any source of water. I and other immediate neighbors who occupy same building would go to our neighbors houses to fetch water everyday.
There are three neighbors who have boreholes, say Neighbor A, B and C.
Neighbor A only allows others to fetch water on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Aside these days you won't get water. You can't even go into her compound. She has a tap outside her building where we fetch whenever she puts it ON. On these two days, there must be Power(NEPA light). If there's no power, forget it.

Neighbor B is a pastor who has His church in his Residential Building. If u must enjoy fetching water here, u must be a member of his church, else you won't be given water when there's no light. Anyone can be allowed to fetch if and when there's light, but as soon as light goes off, don't go there except you are a member.

Neighbor C has two heavy dogs(Rottweilers). This is the house I fetch most, cos of my cordial relationship with the owners of the house. When these dogs were brought home, they were just puppies and I was familiar with them, but as they grew older, they became extremely violent. One is Smart, the other is Bella. Bella is female while Smart is Male. Bella is so aggressive. She torments anyone who enters the compound. Neighbors don't go in. Despite the fact that they are caged, they sometimes break out and attack when they hear a stranger's voice in the compound. There was a day these dragons broke out of the cage and before I could realize it, that had come close to me. I had to make a very fast decision, If I had ran to escape through the Gates, they would catch up with me. Thank God, the Tap is very close to the fence of the building. A very tall fence like that of Prison's fence. I had to jump over, even as I was jumping, they almost caught up with my legs. I didn't land properly so I had a dislocation and sustained some bruises.
On a second encounter, they broke out and attacked. I had to climb the overhead water tank to hang in there.
The last one was when I went to fetch water while I was putting on a towel. They attacked again, and I jumped the fence. The towel pulled off my waist and I was naked. I had to quickly run into the room of a neighbor whose house is closer to the fence to cover myself. I felt so embarrassed.
These dogs had already bitten off the penis of a 12 year old boy.
Any cock or hen that innocently strolls into that compound is a goner. The dogs attack the fowl, kill it and eat it. They even jump at a flying Bird and catch, kill and eat.

The dogs almost ate a baby of almost two years if not for the timely intervention of someone. I was told that some dog owners give their dogs ogogoro and weed to take so they can be harsh.
We all must be careful when visiting houses with Dogs. Please.
Thanks for reading.

This is why it's important to give birth to kids you can be able to take care of. Imagine having to give out your kids as house helps because you can't take care of them?

That child would hate you forever.

IT IS NOT A MATTER OF LOVE FOR DOGS.

THE DOG OWNER CAN LOVE HIS PETS.

BUT THE AREA THE DOG OWNER RUN FOUL OF THE LAW IS ALLOWING HIS DOG TO ROAM PUBLICLY WITHOUT CHECKS.

Lamasta:
I hereby sentence the dogs to death by firing squad and the owner to 5 years for been an accomplice

RIP to the guard its so unfortunate you left this way....

BluntCrazeMan:
I don't understand..

“ALLEGED”.??

...

So, how are you going to establish your claims in court.??

Anither563:
Good move by the FG. This is one of the reasons we need to patronize our local producers. We will not be paying higher prices for cooking gas if we stop the export. Let's all work together for a better Nigeria.

Petrol cabal fighting back.

The old, rickety car in that image probably has its own peculiar problem that caused that problem. It might have nothing to do with the CNG itself.

In any casw, diesel, petrol, and most especially electric vehicles do catch fire/explode from time to time.

Electric cars even catch fire on their own several hours after they are parked.

That has not stopped people from buying those vehicles.

Imagine a car catching fire at a filling station.
And CNG just start oh
Imagine when 30% of vehicles are running on CNG in Nigeria

It Takes One Second to Die: The Story of my Bike Accident

By: Deji Yesufu

It has been my desire to take Christian missions a notch higher in Ibadan, and transportation is obviously a vital aspect of this pursuit. So, after making enquiries on the type of bike to buy, I got myself a Honda CBR – 250CC. I was told it is a good beginner’s bike: it will serve the purpose of covering long distances, lower fuel consumption, and riding at a faster rate. The challenge, however, is that I have never ridden a motorbike before and thus must learn the art. My instructor ensured I got all my riding gears – helmet, boots, and body armour. Saturday, 13th April, was to be my first day riding a motorbike. That day, I covered paddling the bike: balancing it under my weight without power. Then I rode the bike around on gear one – concluding the day with balancing myself on the bike, after powering the machine and gaining some speed.

The following day, a Sunday, the assignment was to build on my previous day speed, still riding on gear one but working on making turns with the bike, both to the left and to the right. I had driven an hour into the day when the accident happened. Before the accident, my younger brother, who had introduced me to power bikes, had told me that I needed to have all my gears on. It was a bit cumbersome transporting all the gears from one end of Ibadan where I lived to the Challenge area where the training was to hold. To solve this problem, my instructor told me to come with only my gloves and helmet. I brought along a boot, too.

After an hour of riding, my instructor told me that bikes become increasingly stable as they gain speed. My assignment now was to build up some speed but still operate at gear one. Prior to telling me this, I noticed I had challenges making turns – particularly to my left. I sort to solve these problems of speed and left turning in another round of riding. Off I went. I rode for a little while and then gained some speed. Then, I tried to make the left turn on that speed level. Unfortunately for me, I was nearing an obstacle that I became fixated at avoiding. These two conflicting thoughts were on my mind when, while turning to the left, I pulled the front brake to the full. The next moment, I saw myself screeching to the floor. The first thing that hit the ground was my head – but thankfully, since I wore helmet, all I heard was the sound of the impact to the concrete floor. Then I think the bike fell on my left leg. As I struggled to lie flat, awaiting my instructor’s rescue, I discovered a terrible pain shooting out from my lower left leg.

My instructor and two other gentlemen picked me up, but I couldn’t walk. The pain in my leg was fantastic. I requested to sit down while they sorted out first aid on my leg – pulling it but only making the pain worse. Eventually, I found a Bolt cab that took me to UCH’s accident and emergency.

At UCH

At UCH and with the help of a colleague, I was placed on a stretcher and taken for X-rays. As many of the doctors had guessed, I had a fracture. My fibula bone in my left leg was fractured and slightly displaced. I would eventually get a cast on the leg and was discharged from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. But that is not all my experience at UCH.

About the time I came into the emergency department of the hospital, a boy was rolled in. He could not have been more than 22 years old. He was unconscious. The answers I could glean from the discussions the family was having with the doctors was that the boy was riding okada and had an accident in front of IITA. He had no helmet on. As they rolled him into an inner room for more intensive care, I saw blood streaming from his head down. About the same point, I had hit my own head on the ground. The doctors were telling the family that he would be fine, except that it would require a great deal of money to care for him.

As I thought on this young man’s plight, I could not help but think that if I had no helmet on, that first impact my head had to the ground could have been my end. It takes only a second for a man to die. My instructor said that our heads are like water melons. Riding a bike without a helmet on is high risk for sure.

What Will Happen to My Quest to Ride a Bike?

My instructor told me that bike riding is extremely risk free, if you follow the guidelines. As a first-time rider, the possibility of falling is 100%. It means that I should have followed my brother’s instruction to be fully geared up. The twist to my leg, which resulted in fracture, was because I was wearing oversized boots. A more fitted boot would have prevented the turning of the leg and subsequent fracture. Thankfully, I had my helmet on. If not, I would have been sending this article to you from the land of the dead.

My quest to ride a bike remains. As soon as I get better, I return to my lessons. Except that this time, I would have my gears all on, and I would get better fitted shoes. Every endeavour in life comes with risks and setbacks, and only quitters lose the fight. Riding a lower powered bike on the streets of Ibadan will solve for me the challenges of cost of fuel, ease of accessing rural communities, and promptness. It will be “gospel on okada”, a reality show I am already thinking of in the same guise with Itchy Boots, except that I will not be traveling from Holland to Nigeria; but taking the good-news to inner communities of our society. My accident is a small setback at achieving this great ideal. Join me in thanking God for a great deliverance while praying God’s mercies on my trips as I seek to reach the nations on two wheels.
