I was 11 years old and had just finished Primary School Waiting to gain admission into Secondary School in the early-mid 90s when Console games (Terminator, Sega, SNES e.t.c) first came into Nigeria. Was supposed to leave for lesson by 3:30 pm but on that day i left home like 1:30 pm and headed to a game center in my neighbourhood instead of going to lesson. Played Mario till i exhausted my pocket money but instead of leaving at that point, i got carried away and stayed behind to watch. Minutes later, we were rounded up by The Police. They tied our clothes to each other so that we wouldn't escape and took all of us to the station. Unfortunately for me, a neighbour saw me and went to report to my parents at home. When we arrived at the station, we were told to write our names down of which i tried proving smart by giving my surname and a fake first name. Afterwards, we were moved to the back of the station yard where awfully smelled of excreta. We were then given 3 very hot slaps each by the DPO. Minutes later my father came to bail me and they called the name i gave but because it was a FAKE NAME i dropped, i myself didn't remember it was me that was being summoned. Suddenly the name rang a bell in my head and i owned up to the name. I was eventually released to my dad but you won't believe that my dad didn't utter a single word to me on the way home. He dropped me off at my lesson and i then knew that i was in big trouble. Even when i came back from lesson that evening, he still didnt speak to me throughout the whole night. After prayers the next morning, he asked me to strip n.a.k.e.d he then proceeded to give me 24 hot lashes of the KOBOKO! I still hate The Nigerian Police for that incident!

If the President appears to/ is found to have breached the constitution in whatsoever way, asking for him to be impeached sounds appropriate. Coming to the issue at hand, i think its plain stupidity on the part of ACN to ask that the President be impeached when its not as if its his personal property that was renovated. ACN needs to start behaving like grown ups and not cry babies that cry foul over trivial issues. Again, this is not an attack on the Ijaw Nation. Why is it that everytime the President is criticised, ijaws percieve it as an attack on them? Shouldn't the President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria be critcised at all? Other Presidents before him were also criticised and their people never cried foul. It now appears that The Ijaw Nation are the real tribalists in Nigeria.

Ramsey is a FULL! Assuming we needed to score, is that how ramsey would have missed that chance? I hate you ramsey!

deleo16: nice thread ur passion would lead to ur success it just matter of time before money chase u up and down

Passion + Strategy + Hardwork= Success. Passion alone won't make your business successful. Why do you think majority of businessess close shop after a while?

[quote author=life_style][/quote]Mr. Life_style, how u dey? The main thing is to find a need and fill it. Everyone will run over to you and they won't be able to do without you. While you'll be busy counting your money and smiling all the way to the bank!

Petroleum: I just like her name. Aside that, she is doing nothing different and extraordinary like her predecessors. Information: all they have been informing us is bad and unfavourable information/news. The Minister and Abati seem to be doing the same duties. Either his office or Abati's office should be scrapped.

Alicia Keys! She's got an innocent and cute face. Would love to corrupt her like am doing my gf.

huptin: Obasanjo"s achivements speaks for itself, he literally brought the civil war to an end just 3 months after becoming the General Officer Commanding of the 3rd Marine Division,of the nigerian army, he rose to become the head of state and handed over to a democractically elected president, he was one of 5 five eminent persons in the world chosen by the UN, he won elections and ruled Nigeria again for another two terms, and agian handed over to another civilian, he is to date the only nigerian president to host an american president(in fact three Jimmy Carter,Bill Clinton and George Bush)

that is his personal achievement but how has these improved ordinary Nigerian lives? It suprises me that some people can still open their mouths to praise OBJ! He is the type of man that will say something now but will do another contrary to what he earlier said. He is a good betrayer. In 2003, he begged the AD because they were his kinsmen to support his 2nd term bid having not supported his 1st term bid but on the day of election, he visited Osoba at his home and even played AYO (ancient yoruba game) but unknowingly to the AD, PDP was rigging the election. I can go on with other examples of his treachery but i'll stop here. I just respect him cause he his old enough to be my father but aside that, i have lost all respect for him as a human being.

he can as well resign from earth Nigeria, i don't care!

I flaunt my car keys because i don't want my pocket bulging which in turn will make me feel so uncomfortable. Though i do this only when i alight from my car but after some minutes, i get carried away and it goes straight back into my pocket. Overall, i think its an ego thing sha..

He seems to be a crook (though he has been tried but was found innocent. So for now, he isnt a thief). I doff my hat for this man, the man is bold (the guy get mind and fit confront lion and he will leave unscathed). This man has surely got brains and he his the MOST INTELLIGENT POLITICAL STRATEGISTS i have seen in the whole of Nigeria. He his PDP's nemesis. He should continue messing PDP jare...

I can't help but laugh at the advices/ solutions being profferred by fellow NLanders. You all are a bunch of jesters! OP, On Nairaland, you may end up getting UNproven solutions but you definitely be bashed and will leave with a deflated ego/ low confidence. For sound medical advise, visit a Professional Skin Care Practitioner or a Medical Doctor who will treat your case with utmost confidentiality so that at the end of the day, you would at least leave with almost all your confidence intact.

nbl tech: may God help us! i'm suprise dat Police did not made any arrest.

as at the time police stormed the site and ìf nobody was found at the site, should they just arrest innocent people just because they want to make it appear that they are doing their jobs?

iiiyyyk: i ve been opportune to discourse with some sincere yorubas.

they said average yoruba sees igbos as being too economically domineering. has more houses and businesses in allmost every big city in Nigeria.
despite how the nigeria society has tried to stop them.

one even told me the more reason why yorubas are conspiring with housa's to stop igbos from forming their own nation is due to hidden fear that the igbo nation might become the next African japan.

i believe it is better to try something and fail or succeed then face the realities than to lave in perpetual hallucination.

lets split this country if possible into 4 to 6 countries, every region go and test your abilities. if we eventually come back as one, every body will know his real worth and the worth of the other. if we eventually come. i think then we will make a better nigeria nation out of our own convictions rather than living on the administrative convenience of lugard and his girl friend.

All what you have said, does it make sense at all? Is it all the ibos that have a house not to talk of houses, so why will the yorubas be jealous of the ibos?

I pity the man. Cant they as well sack players? When players miss goal scoring opportunities or play poorly, is it the coach that instructs them to miss chances. Coaches are doing huge tasks, take all the responsibilites for failure but in most cases never get paid mega bucks like the players.

To all the proponents/ supporters of E-tribal war, what good has it done/ added to your lives. Instead of doing productive things with your time you are here threatning fire and brimstone. In future, hope these set of people won't go on their knees begging for food?

This so called E-war is just fiction and fantasy. Its just some pathetic people's imagination. Its not happening in the real world. Im yoruba and i and many ibos of different age groups that im meeting for the first time throw banters all the time and nothing like tribalism comes up. So far you are not a threat to their lives and their livelihood and you don't cross your boundaries while relating with them, we will all live in peace. Tribal E-wars is for jobless people who sit all day on Nairaland and attempt to waste their already frustrated lives. They should learn to interact with people of different ages groups both young and old. And finally, the jobless ones should look for jobs or productive things doing instead of sitting down on NL making senseless comments.

dis is orji not odili. the poster should correct his /her error.

Yes its called FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION but that was looters associating. Based on the fact that she was there, we can as well call her a bad egg like all PDP members.

atuboweke: YOU CAN ONLY GET SUCH GODFATHERISM FROM THE YORUBAS>>>>>>>>OTHER REGIONS HAS DEFEATED THE DEADLY DISEASE CALLED GODFATHERISM BUT THE YORUBAS ARE STILL HOLDING UNTO IT TIGHTLY!!! schhsssssss..........

Dumb poster= Dumb post. Is the whole yoruba ACN? And for your info, PDP's Godfatherism is the most sickening!

Mowire: NL's become so over populated with petty & juvenile minds full of baseless hatred and quick to accept any story that fans iniquity.

As for saharareporter, it is unfortunate that a former student activist like Sowore has descended so low.

There is always an element of falsehood in every human statement and a lesser chance of the TRUTH in every human statement but lets wait to see how events unfold. This piece of news could be true or false. Don't be quick to jump to conclusion or take sides when you hear themsay.

We tend to believe themsays just because we have our suspicions about them.
