MY PARENTS ABANDONED ME 28YRS AGO ,I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM ,AM LONELY , SOOOOO LONELY , I NEED HELP! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS SITUATION,

You haven't told us anything. Only the fact you were abandoned 28yrs ago by your parents and so lonely. So how did it happen? Abandoned as in left in the hospital at birth? left by the road side, home for motherless babies or what? and by the way who brought you up? were you later adopted by another family?

jejelola:
I do av relatives,i got their contact through one of my uncle,we do talk on phone maybe once in 9months,but like strangers ,no feelings wotsoever,,really we have nt seen moreover my fathers wife is nt making things easy ,you must nt mention my name where she is! wot can i do about this shld i forget about them completely and move on with my life ,or hang on till they both realise am existing?help!

You are not coherent. First your parents abandoned you 28yrs ago. Now you talk on phone once in 9months like strangers. Then its your father's wife is not making things easy for you - that means there is a connection somewhere and you're not totally abandoned. Maybe you should retell your story as it really is.

Why is this woman been persecuted for Ten Million Naira?
She clearly said the money was spent on departmental trip to Ghana

Ten Million on departmental trip to Ghana when the masses they are representing are languishing in abject poverty. What is it they want to and have to learn from Ghana? And how much is air ticket to Ghana by the way, I think about N30,000 if 'am right. How many members are there in the Senate Committee on Health, assuming all of them went for the trip - Twelve altogether.

Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello -Chairman
Senator Eme Ufot-Ekaette Member
Senator Mohammed I. Ahmed Member
Senator George Akume Member
Senator Adego E. Eferakeya Member
Senator Chris N. Anyanwu Member
Senator Olorunnimbe A Mamora Member
Senator Chimaroke Nnamani Member
Senator Umaru Dahiru Member
Senator Hassan M. Gusau Member
Senator Mujitaba M. Mallam Member
Senator Anthony G. Manzo Member

Now how much is return air ticket to Ghana? Let's assume N30,000 (Thirty thousand Naira only). Multiply this by the number of 12 members and it gives us N360,000 (Three hundred and sixty thousand naira only). That is not even up to half a million. So is anybody telling us they spent the remaining N9.6m (Nine Million, Six hundred Naira) on hotels and feeding?

jay bee:
Why was she playing hide and seek when told to report to efcc?
The other accused made 'emselves available so she doesn't have two heads and behaviours like that is surely pointing towards some sort of guilt.

I wonder o! If one is not guilty, why run and hide? And is the excess N300m Health allocation meant for 'jamborees' and trips?
Call a spade a spade bo, no matter whose ox is gorred!

I thought poster said "when they are aged and ripe for eternal rest". No matter how much one loves them, one cannot pray for them to be immortal.

And I would think the father should go first, leaving the mother to take care of things as usual.

Politics › Segun Oni's Misplaced Priority - One Child One Laptop In Ekiti State! by coolier(op): 9:13am On May 17, 2008

Ekiti Begins One- Child, One- Laptop Project
By Wale Ojo Lanre - 17.05.2008

All Senior Secondary School 1 students in Ekiti State will be proud owners of laptop computers as from September, 2008.
This inroad to educational development scheme was revealed by Mr. Gbenga Akinbode, Co-ordinator and Consultant to Technovision Communication.

Addressing journalists in Ibadan recently, Mr Akinbode disclosed that the Ekiti-State Government had consented to partnership agreement with Technovision Communication, a USA- based IT company, to equip all SS 1 students in the state with a laptop each.

He revealed that over 10,000 computers would be provided for the exercise with 250 of them Internet compliant already made available in the State.

Mr Akinbode said the one laptop per child was an initiative of the state governor, Engineer Segun Oni, who believed that Ekiti, being the fountain of knowlege, must ensure that the students were IT compliant.

He revealed that the secondary school teachers were already undergoing computer traning in the spirit of train-the-trainer for a successful implementation of the execise.

ONE SMART GUY IS GOING TO "BELLE FULL" AGAIN.
Is that the next thing in Ekiti now?. So what will happen to those laptos if they need repairs? Will the State Government be also responsible for this or the parents of these students would now be forced to look for money to do this? What about CDs, flash drives, are these included in the package?

To me this is misplaced priority, we could use the money to renovate our primary and secondary schools and provide more books for the students. Supply them with extra school uniforms(a lot of parents cannot even afford to sew their wards uniforms) to make them look neater and decent, give them free school meals to substitute what they eat at home! What do nairalanders think about this?

Yes!!! Masturbation is beneficial and is perfectly normal!

According to Australian researchers men could actually REDUCE their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation to prevent carcinogen build up. Another research has also suggested mastubation can reduce stress, lower your cholesterol levels, improve your blood flow due to the release of oxytocins (a natural opiate) at orgasm.

Speak up about your ailment, Gani tells Yar’Adua
By OLA AGBAJE
Thursday, May 15 , 2008

Chief Gani Fawehinmi
Mores Stories on This Section

Lagos lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN) has challenged President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to disclose his ailment to the Nigerian people.Fawehinmi gave the challenge in Lagos on Wednesday during a courtesy visit by the Edo State governorship candidate of the Action Congress (AC), Adams Oshiomhole.

The ailing human rights crusader said there was no reason for the continued silence of the president on the nature of his ailment. Using his present situation as an example to Yar’Adua, Fawehinmi said: “I’m suffering from the cancer of the lungs. I did not put it there. Let me use this opportunity to call on President Yar’Adua to disclose the nature of his ailment to the people.
“I want to prevail on the president of Nigeria to tell us what is wrong with him. We are entitled to know. Why should he be afraid. Look at myself, I didn’t put the cancer there.

“The people are entitled to know what is wrong with the man running our affairs. And he has not told us. He is going to Germany for five days, eight days, 12 days. Oh! I mean it is a slap on the integrity and respectability of our people.”
He lamented that he had to travel abroad before the nature of his ailment could be discovered, blaming the development on the poor state of healthcare delivery in the country.

The fiery lawyer further regretted the lack of diagnostic facility in the country to properly detect his ailment, which, according to him, had led to the growth of the cancer.
He lamented that despite the abundant wealth of the nation, successive governments in the country had not deemed it fit to seriously invest in the health sector.

AND EVEN OUR PRESIDENT TOO!

Can someone tell me why our so-called elective leaders - President, Governors, Senators, Reps, Ministers, Local Govt. Chairmen and even their wives, as august visitors to any place or event in the country, are always met and welcomed by a little girl holding a bouquet of flowers. Is the presentation of flowers as a welcome part of our culture and tradition? I can understand flowers being presented to foreign visitors to the country - that is their culture. But do you think it's a good practice to welcome these people with flowers in our country?

Being evasive would suggest being cold. I doubt it that Nigerians can be seen as such. We are actually very warm and receptive.

Not necessarily, one can be evasive in a nice friendly way. I agree with the fact that Nigerians are one warm and hospitable people but too precautious and overly suspicious.

Family › Why Are Nigerians So Evasive? by coolier(op): 1:49pm On May 11, 2008

I don't understand why people cannot come out honestly to answer a simple question. And these people are precisely Nigerians.

Let's start with one's Date of Birth. I suppose everybody has one. So what's the big deal then in saying this if asked. You ask someone for his DOB, he says N/A. You ask someone for his age, he/she comes up with this ambiguous answer: "am over 20, 30, or 40" or it's "am nearer 40 to 30". Is that your age?.

You ask a Nigerian how many children she's got and the answer is "wọn kii ika ọmọ fun ọlọmọ" meaning you do not count other peoples children, or they tell you "I am blessed with both boys and girls". You innocently ask a Nigerian pregnant woman in the middle of a conversation: "when is the baby due?" and she gives you a vague answer: "very soon" - what date is that? sometimes some would stupidly say "am still not sure"! How can one not know her baby's due date? You cannot even ask some men what they do for a living! They dribble you and tell you sweet tales of nothing.

I don't understand this, why are Nigerians so evasive?
