Unity begger
I'm referring to shout yeast

Exactly what you people are called - BEGGARS. Continue begging. I am sure you are a very good beggar.

Racoon:
The price for organized genocide and annihilation of the Asaba people was paid by Lt.Col.Murtala Mohammed & Capt.Ibrahim "Gagara" Taiwo.They came in all guns blazing and also left the world in a hail of bullets.RIP Asaba brethren & other victims of similar injustice till date.

And Ibrahim Taiwo left a wife and children many years ago who were safely living off Kirikiri road, Lagos. Imagine that wickedness.

It did not end there. The soldiers raided neighbouring towns Okpanam where unfortunately for them the people were equipped with charms that caused them to temporarily go blind and miss their way. In Ogwashi uku they left a trail of destruction.

Truly the African man is not capable to managing himself. The wickedness of the black man to his fellow black man is unimaginable.

Unfortunately the people of Asaba rather than ask for better infrastructure and cash as reparation to the families concerned, are asking for a university. Where is the land? Or will they turn to claim Okpanam lands or Oko lands or Ugbolu as theirs? They need to think deeply.

Iyanmiris want APC to give them presidency ticket but they don't want APC governor in their portorportor states. Are they normal?

Ignorance will always be dangerous. Because many south westerners have had the minds abused by their forefathers, they have failed to reason appropriately and venture out of their enclaves to see how other cities and states look.

Why don't you move out from your location and visit one of the states of the south south and south east. That way you can on your own mention one south western state, aside from Lagos (which was developed with oil money) is on the same level of development as the south eastern states.

Is "portoportor" not a south western word? It should be kept in its natural habitat where the APC governors are in the south western states.

When the elections come you will seat in your house watching tv and listening to news ignorant of the fact that your APC leaders have been working round the clock, lobbying and begging (as usual) the Igbos to vote for them as if the presidency guarantees food on your table.

May I ask if Cross rivers state has any garment factory? How many are they if any? What will they be branding in Cross rivers state. Let it not that they are looking at carnival attires.

Nothing man no go hear. One day we will hear special assistant on make up and decoration or special assistant on edikan ikong designing.

Bankowner:
It was the difference between the ticket prices in January and December. I was not informed about this by the staff in Phc who spoke with me as well as the Call Center agent who handled the rescheduling. All i was told was i'll pay 2000 for the tickets.

That's just one of the problems with the ticket staff.

Hopefully the management can improve in a lot of areas and then we can all continue to enjoy their services again.

Do not be scared to travel GIGM and even your family too. No other transport company can match them, even with their present level of delay.

Bankowner:
Had cause to reschedule two GIGM tickets purchased online in December. This was done seamlessly but I was not notified that it was successful until I called the Call Centre again. I was supposed to pay #1000 each for revalidating the tickets which seemed fair but on getting to the terminal, I was made to pay #5000. I could only thank God I went with my sister, who was traveling with 3 children, to the terminal that morning because the #5000 would have messed up her finances if she had paid by herself.
The good thing though is that their online booking app is fantastic.

What was the 5000 for?

BORDER CLOSURE: THE FATE OF PETER - A ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL SCENARIO.

Lagos is what it is, because of its proximity to the seaport, so also is the border to many communities, town and villages which have existed close to it. The border closure to those living very close to the border is more like shutting down the seaport in Lagos. Sure, transport workers would be affected, those who earn a living around the port would surely lose their businesses, the rich would become poor, likewise the poor become poorer.

15 out of the 36 States in Nigeria has communities which has since it's origin built their day to day living around the border. Either those who specialize in transporting goods from the borders, to those who Warehouse them, to those who haulage the goods to and fro between the vehicles and the warehouse to Mama-Put who is waiting for the labourers to retire to her shed as they celebrate their day pay, to the business man who lodged in an hotel monitoring the goods to ensuring they are intact, to the mechanic who prays one of those vehicles running haulage comes to service their vehicle, to the spare part seller, to the provision sellers that believes more money in circulation would stimulate her business and the little kid who was driven from school hoping his parents would have made enough sales to pay a part of his school fee, to the principal, teachers, printer, tutorial coach and the list is endless.

Then it hits them so hard that the border where their incomes comes from been closed. At first, everyone keeps hoping high, hoping the border closure won't last more than few days, everyone is smiling not knowing the kind of situation and mess that lies ahead. Spendings are still as though nothing happened. Hopes are high, expectations and optimism eventually losing momentum like a spinning fan which has been disconnected from electricity. The longer their hopes linger, the more their ability to stay hopeful fades. Hope deferred makes the heart sick.

As times goes on, businesses fold up, the town's become deserted, loans cannot be paid, properties are confisticated, dehumanizing thoughts rage, people take to drugs to subside tension and griefs. The young boy who gets enough income to sustain himself has no where to run to. Crimes in the society begins to be on the rise and as he tune to his television having ran out of DSTV subscription, he finds on NTA a well dressed man with nice trimmed beard saying to him, how the border closure has boost production in his company. Its merely a scenario of Peter robbing Paul the poor boy reflects as he feel the whole narrative was a scam. While Peter is lamenting seeking media attention to express his ordeal. The media are after Paul who is rejoicing that the economy is booming since that's the purpose of their existence.

Comparative advantage was one of those favorite topic my economics mind would never forget, in comparative advantage, we are told that, its better that a country produce a goods if its final price would be lesser or equal to that from another location.

So far so good, ever since the closure of the border, cost of rice has skyrocketed despite the fact that the quality of the locally produced rice is lower and the stones which are a bonus too.

Well, I am not really against border closure, at least why do we have leaders if they can't come up with policies. At least, policies are policies whether they favour the dying man or not. But my bullseye is this, now that the border has been closed. How would those who are affected survive?

And unfortunately the closure may last until the end of this regime. Remember this same situation and leader in history exactly 35 - 36 years ago.

Ifeanyi Ararume is not the leader of APGA in Imo state. It is noteworthy that APGA in Imo state is factonalised. How can they make pronouncements that are not within their powers to do so?

Only a few days ago a petition was forwarded to APGA headquarters asking the party to suspend Ararume for anti party activities.

Ararume's gameplan is to combine the platform of APGA with APC to secure the senatorial seat and finally decamp to APC with APGA structure. Will Imo APGA let themselves be used a second time just like the first with Okorocha and be dumped?

Let's see how it unfolds.

How has Buckingham university become "prestigious"? Is it no longer an extension of Nigerian universities? That is where it is easy for Nigerians to get admission and the fees are far cheaper than the prestigious universities. OP take your time there.

franchasng:
they want to increase IGR for Tinubu's 2023 Presidential ambition

Hahahahahahahaha. Are you an insider? Do not tell me that you are a prophet please.

They must not try rubbish. If I hear peem, dem go hear ween.

APC specialises in copying. No innovation, no idea. Even copying protests. Na waoh.

Asabe4:
I have always looked forward to travelling with GUO, sadly they are not in Benin.

GIG is just overrated and unnecessarily expensive, maybe living in past glory.

GUO is costlier than GIGM. You can go and verify that baba.

NwaOhafia:
you know most of their problems. Seems you where once in the system, and the chairman need to sack some senior staff that do give him advise.

Most staff now do charm especially some from a particular tribe, killing anyone that stand their way.

There worker are over stressed with little payment.

Etc

It is very common for long haulage drivers to use charms. Most of them actually do and also belong to secret societies.

GIGM used to be more populated by drivers from Edo state, especially the Binis and Ishan tribes. When opportunities come up, they introduce their friends and relations. Nowadays you find captains from other tribes like the Igbos and Yorubas there. GIGM does training and re-training of captains regularly. Captains are well compensated and their insurance is good. A lot of the captains live in their personal houses, just to let you know how they are treated. Some old drivers have been handed brand new buses as gifts from the company and they are allowed to partner with the company using their own buses. That way the drivers make a lot of money on their own. The workers are not over stressed by the management but by themselves because of their highly irresponsible characters. Some workers threaten to beat up passengers outrightly.

The chairman has to address the rot in the system as GIGM are supposed to be trail blazers. He needs to get more dedicated staff into the organisation and weed out the bad eggs.

I travel on GIGM regularly and I feel comfortable. When you have issues on the road, they are addressed. Patrol teams are there to address issues and other captains on either side of the road compulsorily must wait to sort out the issues.

I book my journey straight from the comfort of my home and ensure that I arrive the terminal at least one hour before take off. Your children are safe and comfortable travelling alone to and from school on GIGM.

For passengers who complain that they booked online, they must not take scheduled time for granted. It is even stated there. If the bus is travelling to Lagos from FCT here the captains want to leave as early as possible.

executive12:
Well balanced analysis. The typical Nigerian customer can be very unreasonable. They take the saying that Customer is King too far. You might want to send your objective critique to the management for their consideration. It might help them to improve on their service.

Thanks.

I think I will follow your advise. Hopefully the chairman can get to read it and take a deeper look into the day to day running of the business.

Do have a great day bro.

Sorry, they won't go to those places because it is for Omoniles and sorry they won't tow Danfos because they are paddy to lastma and Taskforce Police.


This is only meant to milk average Nigerians who own a car but have no connection to somebody in government, Police, Army, etc.

It is never meant to truly clean up entire Lagos

Abi? So what do you think they are driving at?

This English by Timi Frank was written by someone else. He does not speak good English.

Next just like Ikpeazu observed Timi Frank is one person who cannot be relied on. He was part of those who brought Buhari in.

He has retained the same comments showing that truly he had nothing to offer except propaganda.

Jagbajantis intete.

First it is evidently clear that her boss trusted her and liked her as a sibling. The foolish lady took it for granted and agreed with two irresponsible scoundrels to attempt to extort money from the lady's boss.

The plan was destined to fail from the very beginning. Amateurishly they took videos of their foolish acts and forwarded to the man. If she was the man's daughter he might have thought deeply about the risk of going to the police first. With nothing to lose in terms of emotion the man jejely handed the matter over to the police and probably only started praying for her safety. Las las she lost a very solid relationship. Her relationship with her boyfriend is broken. When the courts dispose of the case she may never see the so called boyfriend again.

The lady never thought about the consequences before embarking on this suicidal mission.

As for young men who convince and confuse such gullible young women in order to take undue advantage, ALL OF UNA DEY MAD WELL WELL.

The Kano case is very similar to the Imo case. If the case does not go in favour of PDP then we can fully confirm that something us truly wrong somewhere.

In America people carry guns around for protection and deterrent. What's wrong with having some security organisations in place for protection and deterring enemy threats. If a thief targets a location and finds there is security, he will either go away or attack at the risk of his life.

Why disarm people of the south while herdsmen carry heavy guns around with impunity? They even know the terrain more than the owners of the land.

Security groups like this will ensure that criminal herdsmen and others can be sent packing. Miyetti and other northern elements only want to seize peoples lands and grow their pig like population.

This country has gone beyond redemption. All these northerners are trying to do is to get all the wealth that they can before breaking up. The truth is that time is ripe to peacefully go our ways.

That man wey tie something for neck inside the picture, cold dey catch am inside the house there? Wetin dey worry all these aboki like this sef?

This man further exposes himself. So what would have changed if Ihedioha went to him after the so called prophecy?

Does it not further prove that he was an insider? If Ihedioha met him would he have spoken with the judges on his behalf?

Why did he want Ihedioha to visit him?

There is more to this supreme court verdict than meets the eye.

Please extend that move to Ajegunle, Agege, Okokomaiko, Amukoko, Badagry express road, Oshodi express road, Oworonshoki/Bariga/Shomolu, Festac, Apapa, Orile.

Remember to tow away danfo buses as you carry out the task and then let's see the images and results.

Cheers

What had that got to do with corruption that is ravaging tbe country? What has that got to do with ethnicity, racism and greed for power?

What happened to electricity after 60 years of independence? What happened to clean water and good healthcare? What about road infrastructure after 60 years of independence? All the allocations over the years, where is the proof?

Foreign exchange jumped from 225/$ to $504 in two months and finally berthed at $360. Fuel skyrocketted, rice and other basic needs. Nothing changed and now VAT increased to 7.5.

Who is deceiving who? What you know, we know. They are only favoured to be up there. All foreign investments looted and wasted.

Why are their children not hampered by the same direct foreign investment? Daughter flew to Bauchi on a presidential jet, funded by tax payers only to go and take photographs of ancient places.

This joke has gone too far please.

I think the family lost the original vision. The original vision defined modern day method of long haulage transportation as we observe these days.

Gone are the days when 100 was the speed limit. Gone are the days when captains were not permitted to drive off the proper roads. Gone are the days of captains who would never be rude to passengers. Gone are the days of ground staff who treated passengers politely. Utako terminal started getting dangerous for passengers way back in 2015 until some unscrupulous staff including the manager were sacked in one day. Gone are the days of very good looking buses that attracted passengers. Gone are the days of good looking terminals. Asaba terminal looks big outside but the inside is very dirty and full of cobwebs.

I think the problem has to do with poor growth plans. The management seems to have deluded themselves with the kind of passenger traffic experienced when the business was reorganised.

The workers are well paid and they have no reason for rudeness. Agbero mentality has crept into the heads of the ground staff. The field officers, as they are called, demand money from passengers before loading luggages.

The economy under the present regime has not helped with the cost of a Hiace bus approaching 25 million or over. How long will it take for them to make their turn over? It was much easier for them before now as they could purchase 200 buses in one order. These days GIGM does not purchase more than 20 buses in one order. Another challenge they have is their very porous accounting system. Some of their accountants have run away with very huge sums running into hundreds of millions.

It is not a hidden secret that the chairman ventured into the oil industry. The business has enterred into wrong hands. Advices and solution offered by the very senior drivers are not carried out. Irresponsible drivers have taken over. Very well trained drivers have moved to other companies where the packages are better.

On the part of the guests as passengers are called, there has to be some understanding. Some passengers frustrate other passengers and the captains. Some are very rude and unbearable. Some make very foolish demands. Some ask the captains to increase their speed and burst into arguments with other passengers because of that Some expect the captains to stop at any point that they need irrespective of the danger. Women drop sanitary pads and pampers inside the buses. Some stick chewing gums on the seats, etc. There need to be understanding too from the passengers.

GIGM needs to re strategise. There has to be an attitude change in the face of stiff competition provided by GUO, AKTC and others.

In all I'd rather travel GIGM than any other companies. I am certain that I journeys can end in terminals close to my location and I do not need to spend much on additional transport fare. I still remain a fan with a very strong hope and desire for change from the company.

Who has noticed that Timi Frank speaks very poor English? His spoken English reminds me of the early days of Gani Adams when one would nearly laugh his head off listening to the garage jargons.

So are they trying to find out if it is morally right for the young man to marry the lady? By the way this Hisbah are they agents if morality? Even the lady was made to cover her hair. What are they truly trying to prove?

So even Hisbah has the right to intervene in people's personal affairs like this and yet the organisers of Hisbah are saying no to Amotekun.

I wonder if truly the north of this country will move to the next level of civilisation with such organisations and leaders.

Now are they not going to put sand sand inside the boy's garri? If the American embassy reject the boy's visa application people will blame Trump without knowing the religious zealots have used this organisation to spoil the boy's chances.

When she finds out that the beautiful house that you invited her to is not yours as you used your friend's apartment to deceive her.

All 4 of them? How busy can they claim to be? They don't seem to realize that they'll never get to see him EVER again. What a shame!

Surely there must be a very big quarrel in the family. Jealousy, envy, bitterness, greed and deep anger must be included. It is very unusual that children will relinquish their rights and responsibilities to their uncles and aunties.

Funke Akindele from what we see and hear could single handedly bury her father. What went wrong between them and the extended family?

Even if they abandoned their responsibilities to their father when he was alive, the extended family had no business burying the man without his children. That was a very foolish and evil move by their father's siblings. They say "do unto others as you wish them to do unto you". If the children abandoned their father when they started making it, their own children will do so to them. It is a simple natural law.

The priest took a wise decision when he found the children were not there. Let the wicked elders get lost and the children find time to do the rightful thing.
