Instead of calling on God for divine protection... God alone can solve the problem of accident
It's only in Nigeria people lyk u atune everything to divine interventions even though u knw God helps only those that help themselves.
Can u please just encourage the govt for taking proactive measures to make our roads safer other than leaving our fates to God because na u go church pass.when u are sick don't go to hospital and say only God can heal u .U go just die lyk fowl.

Ozin:
Keyamo " juicy position" is your creation. The outcry is not about one juicy sh.it as you claim but a balance in the appointments in the country and reaching out to stakeholders in his party for consultation and not this dictatorial tendencies from this dullapo

Demdem:

My experience in the hands of the dreaded men of the highway popularly known as “one chance” is not one to be forgotten so soon.
It is important for us to share our experiences so others can learn from them and see caution in other for them not to fall prey of one.

My experience goes thus:

It was on a Tuesday evening on my way back from work around 10:30pm. I had stopped over at a friend’s place that normally helps me in buying meat from his customers around Onipan; they sell good ones at very reasonable prices. I quickly rushed down to his house, picked up the meat, pay him for it and head straight back to Onipan bus-stop to board a bus going towards Ketu-Ojota as I stay around Ogudu.

On getting to Onipan bus-stop, in front of the police station beside Forte Oil filling station, I met about five other guys waiting to board a bus as well and the entire highway looks deserted with few vehicles going to and fro. As at that time, whatsapp messages kept on coming in from my wife saying it was too late for me to be outside at that time since I didn’t go out in my car. The chat went on and on….the only thing on my mind was to see a bus very fast going towards my route so I can go home to my family.

After a short while of waiting, here comes a neat well painted (Lagos Commercial bus colored) Volks-Wagen bus with a usual aggressive “conductor” shouting “ketu-Ojota-Mile 12….. N100 ketu-ojota”!! Only two of us ran to the bus with the rest still waiting at the bus-stop. I never sensed foul play as my mind was only fixed with one thing; home. After shouting for a while calling passengers, the driver moved to the next bus-stop called “Aladiye” still at Onipan. A very close friend was standing there busy pressing his phone, waiting for a bus when the bus parked by his side with the conductor repeating his lines “Ketu-Ojota-Mile 12…….N100.00 Ketu-Ojota”. He (My friend) felt reluctant at first; maybe for the fear of too many guys in the bus. Then I called him….”wale (not real name), wale”. He then responded “guy…how far now? You just dey go home?” then I replied “yes o my Brother. Na wetin man go chop cause am o”. So I told the bus conductor to stand up from my side and allow my friend sit beside me, he quickly objected as there was only one person in the back sit. Wale seeing me in the bus felt at peace and hopped in to the back sit. The conversation then continued with blutooth. Wale then said “Ore, why didn’t you go to work in your car”? “Omo with the traffic around Apapa these days, I go on public transport. I only take my car on Fridays…you know as e dey go now?” I replied. The bus had gotten to another bus-stop called “Church”. A Bros I know also entered the bus. I dodged for him; never wanted him to see me cos he is always in need begging for money. And I mean always.

The driver then moved on to Palm-groove bus-stop. With no passenger at the bus-stop, he drove on. Then the conductor started asking for money. I dug my hand into my front pocket, brought out N500.00 and paid for two; myself and my friend. While waiting for my N300.00 balance and at the same time in deep thought of my family, they declared thus “Hey everybody, you have entered one chance….respect yourself…” I rose up my head to this amazement of whether these “crazy bastards” still exist or they are only joking. The guy sitting beside me started struggling with them when one of the “one chance” guys sitting in the extreme end on the same sit started hitting him hard on the head with a big stone and the guys on the sit behind us hit him with knuckles and gun butt in a bid to calm him down. They hit him on the head until blood started gushing out of it.

I then raised my hands, with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in my hand and my BB in one of my front pockets. One of the two guys sitting beside the driver collected the Note 4 from me. Then they stopped bordering me as they focused on other victims. Deep down, I was happy as I still had my BB with my N21k in my pocket. At the time, my friend Wale who is obviously taller and relatively huge was their center of focus. The craziest one among them sitting right behind me holding a gun; pointed the gun at Wale; ordering him to surrender all he has to him. While reluctantly bringing t out, the “Crazy” gave him a heavy blow on his lips and threatened to shoot him. “Abi were nie ni…moni ko fun mi ni owo apo e. olo fe ma s’agidi. E be like sey I go shoot one person for leg so una go know sey we no dey joke o” he said as he released a shot in the air. Then Wale started begging; released all the money plus ATM in his pocket to one of them. “How much dey there?” said the “Crazy”. “N50k” said Wale. Then they asked how much the guy sitting beside me has in his pocket, he brought out N350.00, N2k Nokia phone and 2ATM cards. They asked how much he has in his ATM when the guy replied “N3k”. The crazy now said angrily “so na because of N350, N2k Nokia phone and N3k in your account you wan kill yourself? No dey try am again o. we go just kill you comot; nobody fit hold us”.

At this time we were already in Gbagada cos instead of going straight, they made a turn beside Batola Machine Tools Company, Anthony and headed towards Gbagada via Charley Boy before making a turn on the bridge facing Anthony-Oshodi again. I was nursing the ambition of going home with my BB and N21k in my pocket when one of them dug his hand in my pocket and took them. He then said “wetin be this (showing me my BB)? Sebi you say u don give us everything. You even get money” “haa….i no know say the phone even dey there. I think say I don drop everything o……na a your own, take am naa.” I said. Meanwhile, I had my ATM and another N2k with some change in my back pocket.
They then forced others to release whatever they had on them while pointing guns to Wale to release his ATM PIN to them. He quickly gave them a fake PIN. Not satisfied, they insisted he must follow them to an ATM machine where he will make a withdrawal for them. He then pleaded that he had withdrawn everything in his account which they already collected.

They later dropped us along the road in a flower garden very close to Anthony after UPS office, Gbagada. I then took a cab home with my friend Wale. On getting home, I narrated my ordeal to my wife who said she’s been calling my line to no avail. I then remembered I bought a Chicken Suya….”oh one of then eating it in the bus” I realized.

It was really an awful experience as they were so mean and ready to kill anyone found not cooperating.

I urge the Lagos state government to rise up to its primary responsibility of protecting the life and property of every Lagosian by working closely with security operatives in tracking these dreaded and heartless men down before it is too late.
Kindly share your “One Chance” experience if you have any so others can learn. If you don’t, kindly follow so as to learn from people’s experiences.

I be fine boy yet... I no fit get girls like this...... Na all this girls with ekuke dog face na im just dey love me....

AreaFada2:
Well, any attempt to comment on women issues as we men see & experience them is seen as bashing women. Feminazis take it as men saying they are perfect.
But there are pertinent questions. I have female friends I love dearly. They actually cannot find "decent" men as they claim.
However, when we discuss, the decent men almost have to have angelic qualities to qualify. Of course in addition to affluence otherwise undertated as " a comfortable guy".

I drill it into their heads that such men don't exist. That yours truly doesn't even meet 50% of those criteria. And yet you girls consider me a good husband material. That I was taken NOT because I'm great, but by someone who saw potential & was ready to grow and progress with me.

They say they don't want to settle for less.

I have this friend in her mid 30s now. Her wish list for a man is out of this world. As pretty and sweet as she is, I have told her the truth. She cannot reciprocate a guy with those qualities in a million years.

She has been impatient, unreasonabe and arrogant towards her last bf. He has now quietly withdrawn. She's missing an opportunity in my opinion. Now she's chasing another guy that doesn't appear interested in her. Another self-induced heartache ahead.

Already, she's getting quite depressed about things easily. Parents now asking when she will marry and have kids. Regrets about abortions and others now surfacing.
Now, with such emotional baggage & wish list, the chances of a serious guy staying with her are not great.

I have even backtracked from introducing a good friend to her. Until she sorts herself out and face reality.

hedonistic:
And in terms of cost of living, Abuja is generally cheaper (transport, etc), with the exception of accommodation and maybe services (mechanics, phone repairers and such). Security is much better in Abuja too, partly because of the controlled population in the main city - largely due to the exorbitant accommodation costs. Without meaning to sound insensitive, it is probably a good idea for things to remain this way.

I dread the day that Abuja would become an all-comers affair - with all the criminal elements and other undesirable characters trooping in to make this city less safe and less livable than it currently is. Population explosion must be discouraged here by any means necessary. Abuja should not be allowed to decline to the level of Lagos were robbers, area boys, street gangs, cultists, and all categories of animals are on rampage in virtually every corner. If artificially high house rents is the way to keep these nuisances out of the city, then so be it.

chukwudi44:
Lol what is the difference btw PUNCH and the NATION? If the senate clerk forged the 2015 senate rules can you please show me the original version of the 2015 senate rule before it was forged?

Both the police and the so-called unity forum senators have no case.Making the standing senate rules for the incomming NASS is the perogative of the senate bureacrats led by the clerk.It can however be amended within the life of that senate by 2/3 majority of the senators.The senate rule for any senate can only be in force for the life span of that senate after which it dies.That is why the senate rules are named after each senate 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015

If you want to challenge the powers of the NASS bureacrats to create the standing rules for the incomming senate simply go to court!!!! All this talks of forgery and alteration between the 2007 standing rule(which died with the 6th senate) and the new standing rule 2015 for the 8th senate is just laughable

Bro i swear your reasoning tally with mine, Just forget that bondage call marriage if it's about sex you will always get it that i can bet my life... 100% even your Ex friend won't mind..

gudrated:
Yea...a lot won't understand. The best period to get good girls is when you are still struggling. I met a couple on my way up, but really, it wasn't my fault that I couldn't establish a firm relationship then. Location, family bavkground, etc made it challenging.
Some just assume to know my life inside out. Whoever said I was never involved in a meaningful relationship before?? It's surprising how people can assume to be biographer of your life history. Some here are just judgemental and opinionated. However, some offer constructive advice which I will heed to.

humilitypays:
All what the poster said are nothing but the truth!

The more money u acquire in life, the more chances of you meeting nonsense people; guys and ladies!

Guys, the best place to find a good girl for future commitment is:

1. In public buses
2. On the street while strolling
3. Internet (forums or groups like nairaland where life issues are discussed...not badoo, 2go, etc where people go basically to find date)
4. School environment

Money only helps to sustain love and kind of give a guy confidence to reach out for love but money most times don't get love.

My advice to rich single guys:

Go for your equal- find single ladies who are comfortable too.

Best girls are girls from rich family background raised under strict and confined environment...but the problem is where and how to even meet them, sighs.

Avoid meeting girls at bars, clubs, malls, parties...sometimes drop your car and stroll or do some street drive in the evening.

Ajibo girls are your best option once u become rich and still single...shun broke girls...they should go for their fellow broke guys and labour with them to make it.

The world is not fair...a man must suffer for everything- suffer to get admission, suffer to graduate, suffer to go for NYSC, suffer to secure a job, suffer to find a girlfriend to date, suffer to make money, suffer to find a wife, suffer to do wedding, suffer to raise his children, gosh!

To be a man is not easy at all!!

God will help u @op and others in your shoes...its well

yinkeys:
Oga sir, good & responsible girls dey. U never ready wan drop ego settle. I think you are a geek or a learner when it comes to women affairs. No offense sir, but I know your type. Like dechandel said, you can start with omo mummy's. Those soft hearted babes

Chiaka:
So in ur mind u think GMB or any other person will have the effontery to investigate/jail a sitting emir of kano.Anybody that want to try that will have 1.9m almajiri votes to contend with.Almajiris will just turn nigeria to slaughtering ground.


You are very right!
If he has his proof let him put it forward not just talking mouth! mouth!,
So that based on his prove investigation will be made.
Not just raining accusation.........Even himself should be investigated,
he was also a public servant as CBN governor

holicalpha:
First of all.
I share ur school of thot bruv and I ll give u 3 origins for r ur head wey dey dere.The most overhyped institution I knw of in dis world is d marriage thing cos I've found out out a lot of my married frnds actually envy me.
I'm 32 and I've neva been married in fact it has neva crossed my mind and money has neva been d issue cos I drive a jeep nd I stay in a big house and I earn good income but marriage has been a no no,cos I've discovered myself nd I've concluded that marriage is not for everyone,my mum have stopped talking when her various emissaries couldn't work.if marriage is for u then go ahead nd do it but for my type I ll get a child one day and adopt.
I will keep doing what I knw hw to do best because I refused to be caged and held ransom by a woman.
Best of luck to all d married and aspiring to be married guys. If u quote me then u are on a very long thing.
That dude should be trashed for been depressed for over 6months because a lady wouldn't marry him

Second

Don't know why marriage is so hyped in some parts of the world (don't wanna say Nigeria)

Get a Job,roll with family and friends, if you must have a kid adopt one and live life to it fullest, nothing in this world is guaranteed, your wife today may bring about the downfall of you tomorrow.


As for me, I've never even dreamt of me marrying... If it comes No Wahala.

Dude.....to be quite frank with you on this..
If you know you Really wonna learn this
Get all the basic stuffs you'll need i mean the "Must have's" e.g : PC /laptop ,

a less expensive keyboard with midi ,

Headphone ,

good reference speakers,

small audio interface with mic input

N lastly A condenser Mic

I listed these things because if you dont have them n you Enroll for any Course concerning Music production ...you probably wont learn anything after you're through with the training

If you think it's a lie ask anybody ..... You cant learn music production without having the basic stuffs you'll be needing inORder to practise without Hitches n set-backs

1st things First Buy the basics Becos they are like a Textbook "simply because No school student in life can Scale through the process of learning with lots of knowledge about what he/she is doing without having A textbook " because you cant learn without practicing what you've learnt in school @home on your own.......

If you Rush you'll Regret Paying @the First place
