This is my second time to be unlawfully arrested and taken to a police station. yesterday their defense was they heard a complaint some boys were constituting nuisance around the neighborhood so they came to perform what they call Raid. I been unlucky,I had to go get barbecue and banana around 8:30pm just to have as my dinner...I needed something light. The keke I entered on my way back I was stopped, they ask for my ID, which I didn't have on me. Buh I told them what I do for a living....just because they saw Tatoes on my hand... They put me in the back of the car along with some boys that they have already hold..I had to sleep cell for the sec time in my life yesterday.. before morning came, I gave them my statement and got bailed out by my landlady.

here are the top five things I observed




1) HOLD YOUR GATE FEE


you be surprised what gate fee am I talking about, are you entering a concert that wizkid and davido are performing artists with ladies twerking, no bro..it's a cell filled with lowlife criminals of different crimes.. hardened criminals..as soon as they see a fresh person about to be put inside cell.. THEY ALWAYS EXPECT YOU TO COME IN WITH MONEY. because for them survival is what they all about..and to survive they need food daily, because many of them have been abandoned there with no body coming to bail them out.

I was forced to pay #500




2) COUNTER OR INSIDE CELL YOUR POCKETS DECIDE

can you believe I was told by one slim female police clerk, that if I was to stay in the counter till day brake I have to pay #1500.
it wasn't new to me, I had only 500naira and some change left after the barbecue purchase..I pleaded with her to take it but it fell on deaf ears..some guys that came with me quickly sorted them self out and they were told to pull their bosers and sit in chair at the corner...while the rest of us who couldn't afford was taken inside cell.




3) BAil is not free

Why was I arrested? They saw me with the barbecue and banana I bought on my way home, but they still took me to the station because I had a Tatoe like who does that?.in a civilse county...I told them I was into music during my teen days, even til now, I still get called for features and mentoring.. but this police they Just didn't care to hear from me at that time....I knew they took me as a meal ticket.mthey said am a bad boy because I have a Tatoes.



4) YOUR SOCIETAL STATUS DOSENT MATTER INSIDE A NIGERIA POLICE CELL

Those hardened criminals don't care if you own 3 venzas or benz...range rover. Or if you've build an estate or operate in real estate. They just need you to maintain and follow the laid out rules.... they don't care if your a big man or not...INFACT THE MORE AJEBOYISH YOU LOOK, the weak they sense you to be. so you have to be focus, shine your eyes and behave like them.. or try to.

They say when In romans behave like the romans.



5) SENIORITY DEPENDS ON THE STRONGEST

Yes in a Nigerian cell, it doesn't matter who first came, but who is perceived as the strongest.... but the person who has been there for a week has a higher advantage than someone who just came that paid gate fee to get a place to lie down with the smell of piss and shît besides him. Why? Because no how you came in and meet 5 guys inside..those guys has already bonded since morning...gisting... telling stories and the rest. So that just came need to use your head...if not those guys will change it instantly towards you.





6) YOUR FOOD IS OUR FOOD


I DON'T think I have to explain this, is self explanatory...the cell member's has its own governing Bodies from PRESIDO TO DIFFERENT POST. so if your bail was delayed, and your people brings food for you. The right thing to do is call them to join you.. you can't just eat it Alone.
It's never done that way on my 2 experience.




7) EARLY MORNING SINGING DEVOTION


ON my 2 experience, 5am everyone is expected to wake and the morning devotion starts between all the cells in the police station trust me if it's 4 cells...the 4 cells will coordinate the morning devotins together singing praises and worship to God almighty for life...then the presido leads them in prayer.






Note: this is not to discredit the nigeria police system but for we all to come together and share and relate With our different experiences in life thanks

Where have I gone wrong?
We are 3 sisters all orphan both mum and dad gone, I and my last born was brought up by grand ma.
At some point I realized that grandma is getting old I have grown up and able to hustle to support grandma so I moved to Lagos left behind my last born with grand ma and the one after me went to be with a family member in calaba.
Am 24, second 21 last is 19
I start hustling to help pay fees for that last born and at a point my second sister had to come to Lagos because I was able to get a place to stay with my guy so she came to be with my mother's brother that I was living with before. They only got her accommodation all other expenses are on me clothing, pocket money,skill aquisition fee and damages (tailoring) in short I was there like a mother just to make our life won't be as worst. After she graduated form learning she stayed back at her boss fashion design shop and don't get paid so I fought with her to look for a job with her skills at start doing at least it may either be a daily, weekly or monthly payment but something will be coming in for her too in order to reduce my expenses on her and fortunately WE got one 50k per month at the age 21 isn't it enough? At first I got pregnant for my guy and I told my sister she acted like it's non of her business and never congrats me or my guy.
I was into POS and after 6months in her employment my employee made a way with my money worth 350k and I got broke.
And my guy just left his old job for a new one and things where not really in line for me and my I looked around to see if I can get help or loan to restart my business but all efforts falls in vain so I turn to my own blood sis to request 50k to add to my capacity to start up with something she turned me down saying she didn't have anything to afford after 6month of 50k per month and ever since then she refused to pick my calls even with the intentions calling to know how she's doing she desists from picking my calls.

Your opinion pls
I didn't offend her in anyways and I have asked her on several meetings to know what her problem is but she always says nothing to me.

I pray you get the help you need... Just leave her alone

This one na slay mama fapper

Her going to the gym just got rewarding...

He has a good point though but, i doubt if that will be possible...

Gurusblend:
Ok thanks, but I’m aware the law does not cover her too

If you had an agreement, the law favours the tenant... But without an agreement, the 6months prior notice is all she needs to secure a court order against you.

Vicktorhmustjap:
Good morning guys.

Please help me I think I'm a simp. I'm behaving like a simpleton towards a lady.

How can I be harden like I don't care..

I need tips.. help me I don't want to be a simp anymore..

You are SIMPly in love... There is nothing bad in that. Just use your head that's all

Gurusblend:
My landlord gave me below quit notice this morning. I need to understand how a quit notice works. My rent expires on June 30th, I’m aware she does not wants me in her house anymore, but I also don’t want to be cheated. She did lots of things like removing the pumping machine, refusing to fence the house and run concrete floor in the compound, at least that was what she told me when I wanted to rent the apartment, they’ll do everything in a month prior to my moving in.

Due to her negligence, armed robbers came, they nearly killed me and my fiancé. She deserves to be punished.
Note: I do not have any written agreement with her nor any verbal agreement when I rented the house, neither did I signed any document

If you do not have a legal agreement with her in form of tenancy agreement... Please, start to look for another apartment ASAP. The law does not cover you

Mind your biz... Let her mind her pants

The migratory elephant found near a farm by some farmers in the Saki West Local Government Area of Oyo State is dead.

The Director of the University of Ibadan Zoological Garden, Dr Kabir Popoola, confirmed the death of the animal to our correspondent on the telephone on Friday.

The elephant was said to have migrated to the area from around the Republic of Benin and the farmers who found it drew the attention of the people in the town to it.

It was said to have been transported from the bush to the UI zoo some weeks back but the news of the death of the animal was announced on Friday by a Facebook user, Adesope Habeeb.

Reactions have trailed the death of the animals since the news of its death was broken on Friday.

Some said the way it was transported was not ideal, suspecting that the animal died of stress.

But the Director of UI Zoological Garden said the post-mortem test had been done to know the cause of its death.

He said, “The information (that the elephant died) is correct. The elephant was rescued and brought to the zoo.

“What will be done to the animal is what we are still ruminating over. I have been to the Anatomy Department to find out what they can do. We have done the post mortem.

“We are trying to see how we can get its bones to see whether we can do skeleton of it. That will take some time.

“Elephants are not animals that are very common around. So, it is a special animal. The essence of doing this is educational purposes and research. We are saddened by what happened.”

Asked the likely cause of the death of the animal and the whereabouts of the tusk, he said the tusk had been kept in safe custody.

Popoola said, “We have removed the tusk and it is being kept under a tight security in the university. Nobody stole it.

“When we got to where the elephant was in Saki, we first lured it out with oranges but the villagers there did not allow us; they chased it back to the valley and that was around 11am.

“Before we could continue again, it was around 4pm. It took us some time before we could load it on the truck. It weighed approximately about five tonnes and we used Hiab (truck crane) of eight tonnes to carry it. It was brought in a 12-tyre lorry which has the capacity to carry 15 tonnes.

“We brought it to UI on February 17 at about 4am but it died this morning.”

Over 3 months ago, I experienced one of the worst fears of every medical student and health care practitioner, I accidentally pricked myself with a needle used to draw blood from a HIV+ patient. I wasn't really scared at first because the patient looked really healthy and her white blood cell count was completely normal, however I decided to test her blood sample for HIV and hepatitis to be sure I was safe. To my utmost shock, she was HIV positive! So many things went through my mind as I stared at the two lines on the test strip, I repeated the test twice and it was still positive. I immediately went to my boss to tell him about it, he scolded me and yelled at me for being careless, then he quickly got his car keys and drove me to a government hospital so I could get Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP). I got the drugs and took them for 30 days without missing a dose, I was supposed to take a test 3 months after the incident but I was too scared. Today, I finally got the courage to take the test and it's NEGATIVE. I am so happy, I haven't been myself for the past few months, infact I've been abstaining from drawing blood from patients, I let my colleagues do it, while I run the tests and write out results. A needlestick injury is such a scary experience, the trauma and anxiety is horrible, I had malaria a month ago and I thought it was HIV symptoms, I had an acne breakout after using a bad lotion and I thought it was HIV rashes. I'm so glad it's finally over!

walking on the edge... Stay safe at all times. Taking ARVs daily shal not be your portion...
PEP came in handy for you.

I am happy for you in this one

Life na turn by turn... Fuel attendants are now the big boys in town!!! You can even brag about knowing one.

Good day Daddies and mummies.
I am a Northern woman, met my Igbo husband during my NYSC days at Nccf.

He's a good man, works and earn good money, now my problem is this man always ties wrapper in the house o. Educated man o, earns over 500k monthly, but this mentality is something else.
Not that I'm angry,

but I just want him on boxers while in the house. But he will just be laughing at me, this was same man that told me he don't like ladies tying wrapper in the house, so this morning, I tied it like him, he just burst into laughter, infact, both of us were laughing at ourselves.

This is not because he's Igbo,because his younger brother and wife told me to carry my cross,that he has been like that, in fact,they tease us with this.

He laughs at me when I correct him, last week my sister in law bought me a wedding wrapper, guess what, came back from work I met my husband tying it.

Pls will he change with time, is there any idea I can get to change my Daddy!
Thanks.

Cc: RoyalRoy

If tying wrapper makes you to have a good laugh and nice marriage with your husband... Pls, let him continue biko

The prolific striker got us all worried with her tweet,"Life Is Just Unfair, I'm Tired of Trying ".


Fans were worried, but the reason behind her tweet has surfaced.

Oshoala was injured while on camp with the super falcons.
She has an injury to the femoral biceps of her right thigh.

The news must be a devastating one for her considering the fact that she just got back from a rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament in her right knee which kept her out of action for two months.

We wish her quick recovery.

Great relief... I hope it is not more than this

Phinex:
When Abuja was selected out of a long list of other local cities to be Nigeria’s new capital territory, it was a selection based on numerous merits such as its prime and central location, extensive land mass, favourable climate and the fact that a good portion of it was uninhabited and unspoken for.

The Murtala Mohammed led military government which did this selection, and subsequent governments after his, took upon them the task of ensuring that the new capital city which critics called a utopian dream, became tangible, so that the relocation of the country’s government seat from a congested Lagos State could be possible.

The first point of action was creating the city’s Master Plan.

Now, having learnt a few salient lessons from the shortcomings of Lagos as the capital city, the government didn’t want a repeat of these failures, so they made a grand Master Plan which covered every inch and breadth of the city, leaving nothing to chance, then split development of the city into phases and began implementation.

So thoroughly planned was the city of Abuja that government thought to introduce the city’s population in incremental ‘doses’ so as to prevent overcrowding which would have the negative effect of straining the city’s infrastructure and the social amenities available per time.

Gratefully, and much to the dismay of critics, sixteen years after Abuja was first announced as the new capital territory, the seat of power, government ministries and parastatals were moved into the burgeoning city.

Today, more than thirty years after that great exodus, the city has seen exponential growth, to the extent that it is considered one of the fastest growing cities in the world.

Whoop! Dream come true, right? Certainly. But, while most Nigerians are proud of and happy about the rapid development and popularity garnered by their capital city, there remain a few who it would appear are the sacrificial lambs in this scenario.

So, while others enjoy the glitz of the city, revelling in its economic growth and taking pride in the sense of belonging that the personality and brand connotation of Abuja as a ‘city for all’ evokes, they themselves are caught in a limbo.

For even though their ancestors were born and buried in the land, today they can neither lay claim to it as theirs as that would be violating one of the core values of the new capital territory as delineated by its founders; nor can they lay claim to another land without inciting a fight with its current dwellers.

The original inhabitants of Abuja whose land is currently used as the ‘Centre of Unity’ for Nigerians from the 36 states of the country cannot fully appreciate the sentiment as they themselves have no state from which to come and unite with others at this centre.

Now, you may ask, what was the plan for this indigenous peoples in the very lustrous Abuja Master Plan, surely government must have factored them in in some way?


Well, according to authorities, as at the time when Abuja was chosen to be the capital territory, most of the land was uninhabited and along the line, the few inhabitants were asked to choose between moving to neighbouring states or being relocated to government earmarked areas of the territory so as to free up their land for the large-scale development planned.

The result of this relocation is what we see today: the original inhabitants of Abuja and their chiefdoms now mostly occupy the outskirts of Abuja where sadly, the fast-paced developmental drive experienced in the city’s center is not being replicated, or at least, not with the same momentum.

So maybe, they would have said “well, at least we’re living well in this all-man’s city which was once ours but isn’t anymore, so let’s be grateful for that and carry on with our lives…” but they cannot say so as most of the areas they occupy, including those allocated to them by government are in deplorable conditions and still being contested to be taken away by those who have connections within the corridors of power.

From bad access roads, to poor electricity supply, unavailability of potable water, sub-standard health facilities, the list goes on and on. In short, there is a contradiction between what is obtained in the business districts and upscale residential parts of Abuja with what one would see in these chiefdoms.

In fact, so stark and glaring is this contradiction that many a person visiting Abuja for the first time have thought that Abuja began from Airport Road.

It should therefore come as no surprise that the original inhabitants of Abuja are dissatisfied and asking to be granted a state of their own.

This request in this writer’s opinion, only seems fair because if you’re going to take something from one person and say it belongs to everyone, especially if others are still keeping theirs, then the original owner should be adequately compensated, rather than relegated.

Now more than ever, the original inhabitants of Abuja deserve to be heard and considered as day by day, we see the city of Abuja becoming more and more classist and elitist. It is gradually becoming a city where the poor are seen as a taint to its flamboyance and glitz. A place where to get any respect or even access to good service delivery, one has to be able to afford to live and actually live in one upscale part of the city or the other.

What future then have these poor and marginalized people if they cannot access basic social services today? How will they match up with the demands of living in this world class city?

Well, I agree that a state might just be the answer. Why? First of all, it will be a state to call their own. If nothing else, they too deserve to have that sense of belonging to a space and land they can call theirs, not one that the government and law has said belongs to everyone.

A state of their own would also give them the opportunity to control their resources and use them for the betterment of the land they call home and the people in it. With it would also come a chance to select their own leaders as opposed to the prevalent trend of the President choosing a Minister for the FCT (who may not be one of their own) that has been the case since 1975. Honestly, the benefits are too numerous to mention and one can only hope that someday, they will become a reality.

Hellopeopleyes:
Hello everyone, I am looking for mature and critical opinions on an important matter.

My friend, Toon (pseudonym) and his fiancée, Mifi (pseudonym) had a major argument yesterday. They have been in a relationship for a while now and are very much in love with each other. Suddenly, few days ago, Mifi started acting cold towards Toon, barely picking his calls, replying with one line messages and all. Toon asked her multiple times what he did wrong but she told him nothing. Fast forward to yesterday, Toon realized Mifi had deleted his number from her phone and he became even more worried so he called Mifi’s mum and told her he realized Mifi’s mood hasn’t been good lately and she’s been acting cold, and he would like for the mom to help him figure out what’s wrong and give him feedback.

The mom promised to do so but unfortunately she called Mifi and lashed her for being cold towards her fiancé. She also called Mifi siblings to tell them about the matter. The mom said really hurtful words to Mifi and now Mifi feels she doesn’t deserve all that and now says Toon is the cause of the issue and she’ll find it very hard to forgive and forget. Mind you, Mifi had told Toon earlier that her mom (Mifi’s mom) is the kind of person who tells the whole world everything and that now she would tell everyone this issue. Toon says he never expected that the mom would talk about this kind of issue to anybody else and that he simply felt it would be a mother-daughter conversation and end there. He has been apologizing saying it was never his intention and if he knew the mom would act that way, he wouldn’t have told her.

Now the issue here is, Mifi is still very unhappy about the whole thing and Toon is still apologizing and trying to make her see that it was never his intentions to hurt her. The question is, is Toon at fault? Should Mifi forgive and move on? How can both of them chart a way forward?

For Mifi to have deleted Toon's contact... There is a big problem. Toon should start getting ready for breakfast.

Brace up for impact Toon!!!
