FarahAideed:
Are there industries in that area ? Might just be an industrial accident

There's an industrial estate near the GRA. Somewhat like Ikeja/Ilupeju where the industrial estates border the residential estates.

Praying that all will be well.

This is actually a murder/manslaughter case being treated like a family matter!

May her soul rest in peace.

Just a thought.....those who can't control their emotions have no business being Pastors. He made a total mess of priesthood if indeed he was a cleric by calling or training.

Mr El-Kanemi said Borno residents had suffered in the hands of Boko Haram but added that the terrorists surrendering to the government “is a welcome development.”

Senate President Ahmad Lawan says Boko Haram members willing to surrender should be encouraged to end insurgency in Nigeria.

Mr Lawan disclosed this in a statement on Monday when he paid a courtesy visit to the palace of Shehu of Borno, Abubakar El-Kanemi.

According to the lawmaker, the federal government and the Borno government will ensure the restoration of peace in the state and across the country.

Mr Lawan also pointed out that the surrender of the terrorists “is a good development for the security of this country.”

“I want to take this opportunity to mention that the federal government of Nigeria will continue to work with the Borno state government to ensure that there is a restoration of peace and stability,” said Mr Lawan. “The recent surrender by Boko Haram elements is a good development for the security of this country. “Those that have no issues to answer are sanitised and taken back to their communities. Those that may have issues to answer should be taken through the legal processes. But we must ensure that we encourage Boko Haram elements and those they have taken by force to come out to surrender so that this unnecessary insurgency placed on us comes to an end.”

He further stated that the government should do everything possible to encourage the terrorists to surrender.

“I believe there is no need for any controversy over what we need to do with people who surrendered. In any war, in every war, surrender is the ultimate. If we can achieve it, we should do everything and anything possible to encourage more and more to come out so that we are able to come to the end of this unnecessary insurgency that has taken our States back for so many years in terms of development,” Mr Lawan said.

Mr El-Kanemi said Borno residents had suffered great distress in the hands of Boko Haram but added the terrorists surrendering to the government “is a welcome development” because “Borno is a home of peace, and we are for peace.”

After which we also have ISWAP and "bandits" to contend with.

Hisbah should do something about this instead of breaking beer bottles on which VAT has been paid (which they gladly spend).

Theunbothered:
You say this yet every man has stories about the "billing" Nigerian women give in the opening stages of the relationship.

That rubbish is so off-putting it makes you wonder if the parents of these women abandoned them.

Well, I don't have many women like that around me. I wasn't brought up that way and I counsel those who see it as normal so the generalisation sounds strange to me.

May God lead you to women with better values.

ValCon888:
A typical Nigerian girl has this entitlement mentality.
They believe you must do everything for them.
You must give them money, take them out, buy gifts, make their hair, recharge their phones (and still do the calling) etc.

You must give them money before they buy you gift. And they will only use 10% of that money for your usual boxers, singlet or roll-on birthday present.

She is never altruistic or selfless. If she does something for you, she expects you to do something even greater for her in return. It is until you date a foreign chick you realize a vast majority of Nigerian girls have nothing to offer.

A selfless, generous Nigerian girl is like a Taliban Christian. They don't exist.

Haba ! Change your circle of associates if possible. There are selfless and generous Nigerian ladies. You only need to get to meet the right one.

KillMNKnow:
Tijjani Islamic school no Ramson paid and released....

Seems like Christians are rich
Them Christians pay more money than other people.

They paid. Go and read their story as told by the owner of the school. Even late TB Joshua contributed.

I remember that all Christians were asked to donate a minimum of 1,000 naira each at that time.

Cof1ex:
I haven't seen any covid-19 survivor or patient.....
This people should change their strategy and use cholera, malaria, monkey pox, etc

I know several people who have been affected...friends and family members.

Includes some sad losses too.

Please don't trivialise it. Stay safe always and pray if you're a believer.

Educationalserv:
since you are only allow vacation of 30 days in 365 days calender and you wife dey Nigeria. Who will be servicing her for the period of 10 to 15 years you are in Saudi? Or by default cos of money you stop the natural desire of human for sex...

The wives visit too. Those were the days of virtuos women. I had a colleague too whose husband retired early here and moved to Saudi to work for some years. The kids were here till some moved abroad for better education...the era of strikes. It didn't matter then that couples lived apart for a while.

joyandfaith:
Why are Muslims recruiting infidels to treat them?

Saudis used to visit UCH Ibadan in the golden era of our nation according to old stories.

My cousin and some of his colleagues went to Saudi under similar circumstances in the 80s. Many of them including him were Christians. According to him, they appreciated the job satisfaction in terms of available equipment, good working conditions and the decent pay.

Truly, most of them didn't take their wives and children along because of the religious bias. However, with good earnings, they were able to acquire/build good properties here and send their families/children abroad (UK, US,Canada) especially for university education.

It's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, many of them still live abroad after retirement due to the situation here. A terrible impact on our health sector.

They

Very, very sad! I feel for the parents. May her soul rest in peace.

Honestly, bikes are causing so much damage to lives. The riders are often so careless. An inlaw lost his son who rode on a bike within a campus (just from hostel to class). The pain is still so fresh. I understand that there may not be an option sometimes but I still believe that buses and cabs are safer in most circumstances.

Very funny thread.

NovusHomo:
Isn't the 'BLEACHER' in Ile Ife palace also a pastor, or something like that?

Her mum and siblings are also fair in complexion oga. Not every fair skinned woman bleached.

majamajic:
As domestic worker , people might be surprised from her own side of the story

Girls are always carried away by anything in uniforms

Really? So she didn't deem it fit to inform any member of her family or a friend that she has been recruited as a domestic worker at IRT Abuja. She also had to credit the accounts of some people to get the wonderful job. Interesting!

Worship God in truth and in the spirit. Know and obey His words. Meditate on His words. You'll hear from Him.

God speaks to us in many ways. It could be the "still small voice" or through dreams and visions. It can also be through promptings (like you suddenly feel the urge to delay on something and you later find out that you unwittingly averted/avoided a bad occurence). It can also be through divinely inspired messages from others. Unfortunately, the last one is what false prophets capitalise on to deceive those who are not spiritually strong enough to decipher God's spoken words on their own.

Feeling so sad that our great nation is deteriorating so fast. This no longer looks like the country I grew up in...

Kudos to Kogi Governor and others who are trying to get the innocent students out safely. The location of UniJos makes the students very vulnerable under the circumstances.

Women don't go to school! Exactly the mind set of Boko Haram. Interesting times ahead in Afghanistan.

Nice thread! Kudos to all those who made valuable inputs.

I pray that DAWN Commission and ODUA Group are able to initiate and coordinate development projects for the benefit of all states.

Nisiw365:
Is foodco owned by a lebanese?

No. It's owned by the family of late Dr Sun-Bashorun. His wife and children currently manage it to the best of my knowledge.

Osogbo, Osun State

This looks like the Gbongan interchange.

Our SW governor are looking for a Vice President position so are not that bold .

I read a piece of news recently, that the Olubadan of Ibadan said Sarki or whatever title is alien to Yoruba tradition and falls under the Oba or Baale of wherever he stays.

Kiemutex:
Sunday Peter from Adamawa state precisely Guyuk LGA was a former speaker in the state but his father is from yoruba but has intergrated so well in politics of the state however he couldn't get mandate for second tenure as that was used against him, he did so well that the people are now regretting voting for an indigenous person, i served there few years back as a corp member.

Same with Grace Bent who as a Yoruba lady represented her husband's people in Adamawa in NASS. The tribal issue came up later but she made a great impact when she was there.

TheSupleemLeada:
My father is yoruba from ibadan, my mum is Igbo from Ideato North in imo state. I've had an interest in politics from very young age, hopefully someday I'd venture into politics and I'd need a platform to start from, am drawn to the south east because my mother's ties with the region, but considering the political climate of nigeria and requirements for running for office would it be possible to claim my mother's side as state of origin? Need your advice.

Lalasticlala would be great if these gets to front page.

The major problem is that you can't contest effectively if you don't have grassroot support in your mum's town. Of course, some people will remind you that you're a Yoruba man. It's all about our competitive nature, not necessarily tribal issues.

No mention of how to cater for the victims whose lives have been thoroughly messed up. The needs of those who have been in IDP camps for years are seemingly being downplayed. How about the widows and the fatherless children of our gallant soldiers who lost their lives?

Perhaps he needs to listen to Senator Ali Ndume, the Shehu of Borno and some of the victims.

To add what value really? Aren't there enough clerics, Islamic schools and Mosques in each locality to deal with religious education? Soon they'll be needing jeeps for difficult terrain. Misplaced priority in a region where people live in abject poverty.

Not my business anyway.....

Hardgun:
God in heaven will make the girl cheat on him and after that will gather to beat Yusuf buhari by then buhari no go be president again,after that them go stab him

Haba! Too much bitterness.

This is heartbreaking.
