Oga Spyder,
From your narratives, it's clear from the action of the guy you saw the car with, that he wasn't an innocent buyer of a stolen car.
Besides seeing the VIN is just on an attached plate, it could easily have been replaced with a random one from old spare junk yard.
One clear thing here is that both the police and the law courts may not have the resources to do a proper investigations. I even doubt if electronically sourced documents (VIN report) is admissible in the courts yet.
Now, unfortunately too, they just wrecked the car.
This time I think you should sit down and count the cost of pursuing the case and recovering a wrecked car. I know how it feels, it could probably be your first car and with the emotions, hard to let go.
But then it's up to you.

Now I can see the reason why Onitsha is one of the biggest market for Complete Sports publications and Brilla Fm also rushed down to open a studio there.
Onitsha boys love sports die!
We used to burn down the track and field of St Charles and Ezechime back in secondary school days.

Chai!
What's wrong with this Keshi?
Dude should have told his Lawyers to draft a fresh contract terms, complete with the terms and conditions fully in his favour.
ONLY after they agree to the new terms should he rescind the resignation.
I'm not sure if he gained anything with this change of mind after just talking with a politician over the phone.
Criminals seating over the sports funds and cannot pay people their salaries and car allowances.
Keshi, please don't come back tomorrow crying of non-payment because you have really messed up this opportunity big time!

Hope Emenike is not hurt ooOo!
Dude must play and score the winning goal in the finals!!!

This Eagles are super duper!!!!!!
3-0 first half!

I need link for live streaming abeg.
Still in the office, and i don't wanna miss a thing!

Jarus: My company management just declared that we can close and go watch the match.

[quote author=Igwe.]This is a mobil application version of internet banking.
I guess it won't be compatible with every mobile phone and I'm also afraid of the initial challenges that may come along.[/quote]You are completely WRONG.
Let me put the records straight;
1. You must have a bank account for you to use internet banking, you DO NOT need bank account to run mobile money
2. Mobile money is different from mobile banking.
3. Mobile banking is an app from either eTranzact or interswitch that you download from your bank and links to your account, since it is an app, it runs only on Java enabled phones, thus all chinko and low-end phone users are not welcome to the party.
4. Mobile money runs on USSD, an interactive service on all GSM networks, e.g *894# , it runs on all phone types including nokia torch, chinko, innoson phones etc. Everyone is invited
5. You DO NOT need to have a bank account to run mobile money, all you need is a gsm line
6. Just dial *894# on your phone any where you are, follow the prompts to register, then select your 5-digit PIN, and your account is set up within 2mins
7. Look out on the streets for a Mobile money Agent near you, go to him and give him cash, he will fund your mobile wallet for you
8. You can send the money to another person's phone, buy recharge cards, pay utility bills, etc. All at your convenience without leaving your couch
9. Meanwhile, the code I gave is for FirstMonie, the leading Mobile money service in the country today.
10. You can ask any more questions you have

naptu2: (Narrated by Femi Falana after Gani's death).

Gani Fawehinmi had been sued by Olusegun Obasanjo for libel. It looked like he would lose the case. In court Femi Falana sat beside Gani and whispered to him that the case looked bad. Gani replied that the case would not be heard.

"But the Judge is ready to sit and the case has been listed", replied Falana.

"Just watch what will happen" said Gani.

When the case was called, Gani told the judge that the case can not be heard. The judge asked for his reasons.

"My lord, the plaintiff in this case is a military man and behind you hangs the picture of the Military Administrator, how can I then accept that this court is impartial?"

The judge then adjourned the case, to be resumed later in the day (according to Mr Falana, the case was not called again that day). Since then, the picture of the head of state/governor has been replaced by a picture of the coat of arms of Nigeria.

Wow! This is quite impressive.
Can any lawyer confirm that we no longer have Presidents/Govs pictures nailed in the walls of our law courts.
I used to think it's constitutional to have those pictures in place.

Well, in as much as I believe the Don went over board with his 40% stat. I still believe the central theme of his message should not be lost on us.
Massive construction of Silos for grains and other food storage facilities is germane for our future economic growth. Same way we need to have massive underground storage of refined petroleum products.
We can't keep wasting our resources and even spending the future of our kids today.
We can learn a big lesson from the Ant's philosophy.

So when are they doing the Nigeria launch?
Abi they ain't aware this is their biggest market?
I'm loving the Q10 because of my good old love for QWERTY.
I think that picking up the Q10 to bridge a Playbook will make a browsing sense.
Let me know when una enter Naija sha.

Well, seeing that many Nigerians are Christians, they must have learned from the classic example of Joseph, the man with the coat of many colours (Read your Bible if you haven't heard the story).
This is surely not a Nigerian thing, it is human nature. Joseph's brothers set out to kill him once he began to share his larger than life dreams with them.
Same thing happened when Herod set out to kill all kids under the age of two because he was told a new King (Jesus) was born.
But then, they can only try, if you are more than a conqueror, their efforts will be in futility, while you keep rising!

Guys.
The Jihadists are at serious war with the rest of the world!
Listen carefully at Mali and Algeria today. They seek a country they can possess in Africa.
Especially now that they looted more sophisticated weapons from the Libyans armoury when Ghaddaffi was ousted.
They care not whether you are Emir or Sultan, so long as you ain't on their side.
Wake up folks, there is a global war going on, it's beyond PDP politics.

elopee3000: Those who dont speak their native language re white people'slaves me and my family are not among

Hope they will hear it loud and clear.
The pathetic ones are the parents that refuse to speak their native tongues to their kids thinking it will make them smarter,but they end up dumber and confused.

NeuroBoss: Fortunately, I'm an ardent lover of languages. Apart from speaking the quintessence Yoruba language, I speak my Ijesa dialect as if tomorrow no dey. As a businessman waiting to explode internationally, I speak French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. I speak a smattering Arabic and Hausa. Just started learning the phonetic Igbo language since I'm engaged in Imo at the moment. A choro m asu asusu igbo. Asusu Igbo di nma!

YOU are da man!!!
I wish i can be like you.
Asides my fluency in Igbo, I also speak smattering hausa, and would like to add Yoruba and few international languages to the plate too

Igbo all the way.
The only time English comes handy at home is during Bible study/Prayers.
Meanwhile, seeing the tendency of today's kids to lose the native language to English, I may have to move my kids to the east for secondary education when that time comes.

suyu: igbo with their english first names
precious, princess, mike, stephanie, genevieve, David, Caroline, Prince ........

yoruba with their english or arabic last names
taylor, green, thompson, brown, hassan, ibrahem, Benson

I'm not saying all but some are

lets tell the truth jare

Nah! You got it wrong.
Those English names for the Igbos you listed are actually middle names given during baptism(Anglicans) and baptism/confirmation(RCM) which are usually taken after biblical characters.
Almost every Igbo native has an Igbo name immediately after birth without any naming ceremony.
For surnames, you can count on your finger tips the ones with non-natives in a particularly town

MAYOWAAK: Some 12 years ago the Vanguard broke the news of Dr Abalaka’s cure for HIV/AIDS. Immediately the Nigerian intelligentsia and educated elite, a band of cynics, claimed it was no cure; Abalaka, they insisted, was a babalawo, not an educated man – his name suggested it. Quickly, Abalaka was on the TV showing his University of Jos MBBS certificate. They argued, that Abalaka was a doctor didn’t mean he should also involve in medical research; there was a rule to this thing. Again, Abalaka brought another certificate of his PG trainings in one-thing-one-thing. They insisted Abalaka must show prove of whom he had cured. A Nigerian colonel said it was true – 400 of his men back from ECOMOG in Liberia have been cured.

Then the Minister of Health, a man named Tim Menekaya, who was in his sixties but carried the face of a man in his nineties, got real angry. He said the colonel had no right to speak on such matters – and the military hierarchy agreed their colonel spoke out of order. Menekaya advised Abalaka to stop going to the press; convention demands that he, Abalaka, publish his findings first in a medical journal. Doesn’t Abalaka know that educated people don’t announce inventions on the pages of newspaper, he asked. The Nigerian journalists, now behind Abalaka, countered that even the discoverers of the virus, Robert Gallo and Montaigne, also went first to the press.

Abalaka , thoroughly satisfied with this support, gathered the journalists to his Abuja office and, in their presence, vaccinated himself (ingested HIV into his blood). People danced on the streets of Abuja. One journalist said he was leaving for Europe to personally nominate Abalaka for the Nobel.

Then tragedy happened; Abalaka’s wife died. Every Nigerian, including those who have promised to nominate him, ran away. They said the poor woman died of the HIV the husband had ingested. Abalaka struggled to convince Nigerians that his wife died of liver problem. Nigerians said, a man who can cure AIDS should be able to handle ordinary liver damage. Abalaka was no longer a hero but an insane man who self-infected himself with the deadly virus.

Abalaka, an ambitious man, fought not to go down. He would show Nigerians that he was a great man. He went and collected PDP governorship primaries form and, in his first public outing, promised his people of Kogi State and the neighbouring Benue that he would build a hospital at the boundary and cure their AIDS freely. (Benue State is to Nigeria what South Africa is to Africa with regards to AIDS prevalence).

Before Abalaka could submit his form, three men from NAFDAC (the government agency regulating canned food, bottled drinks, biscuits and pharmaceutical products) arrived his Okene village from Lagos and requested he joined them to Lagos. Abalaka felt God has heard his prayers; PDP was going to provide money through NAFDAC to help him win the election.

At Lagos things took a strange dimension. They took off Abalaka’s belt and tie – so that he would not hurt himself. Then when Abalaka realised what was happening, they took his phone; he couldn’t reach Femi Falana, Bamidele Aturu or Festus Keyamo or even his family. The NAFDAC people accused him of defaulting to pay patent fees of [N3000] for his findings!

Abalaka requested they should take him to his bank and he would pay, even though it was no criminal offence requiring arrest. They told Abalaka that they were making their investigations. The investigation took quite long, ran into days. By the time Abalaka was found not guilty and released, the PDP governorship primary was over.

I was in Abuja when Abalaka appeared on the TV. He had become thin and his voice was no longer that of a discoverer but of a man just evicted from 1009. The host asked if he would take PDP to the tribunal. Abalaka replied, he had left it in the hands of God. The host asked if he would sue NAFDAC for illegal detention. Abalaka replied, he had left the matter in the hands of God. The host asked if he was going to research another sickness, say, sickle cell anaemia. Abalaka said, he had left E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G in the hands of God

The curious lives of 'Nigerian Scientists'
Thanks for this update on Abalaka's life, I never knew he went into politics and ruined his career completely.
Same thing happened to Ezekiel Izuogu that claimed to have built Africa's first car. Dude went into Imo state guber race and I haven't heard of him ever since.
Where they planning to use their states funds if they win to further their products development or what?

Nobody doubts the fact that HIV/AIDS spins off a multi-billion dollar industry in which the players won't want to end soon.
But what I found disturbing is why an academic of such standing will call a press conference of uninformed journalists (sorry to Nigerian Press, you guys don't read) to declare such discoveries.
What happened to peer-research conferences, scientific journals etc. Those are the only avenue where your scientific discoveries can be properly scrutinized by fellow professionals and all claims properly verified before being thrown to the regular press.
Whether he was threatened to recant or he realised his folly, he brought the shame upon himself.
I really want to see a Nigerian research scientist make such a discovery in a dully documented process instead of this charlatan-inspired announcement we get from time to time.
Dr Abalaka, Prof Ibeh...who's next?
