Obudu and Calabar keeps popping up when tourism/vacation spots are mention in nigeria But there are no detailed costs to go with it especially for those coming from other parts of the country-Lagos, Abuja very little information about vacation spots seems like they are deliberately targeting foreigners and private firms due to cost Hotel prices transport Food |
6, Bishop Oyedepo engages in occultic practices with all that mantle,oil,handkerchiefs etc, i tore his books to shred,Na wa where are those nairalanders shouting 'touch not my appointed or is it anointed'? come tell this pastor O! church service on sunday, special meeting on monday and tuesday, bible study on wednesday, night vigil on friday and house fellowship on saturday, when are you going to live the life you are being taught?, that is the sign of apostacy it also shows that your leaders are only interested in the gospel of wealth!,exactly their loudspeaker ang gyration is too much, im sure this leads to marriage failure as well, instead of working, looking after the family and resting some people are under pressure by DADDY(s) to organise this or that 24/7 |

Dont dash everyone money Your holiday is about YOU and Your family Remember it's XMAS and new year they'll be many people around What state/region are you going to? |
[quote author=zyl_kenny link=topic=355305.msg4969468#msg4969468 date=1258801549]Thanks a lot. But it is so sad 4a gov 2forcefully eject one even when u'r not found wanting. And this talk of compensation scares me. Considering other people's plight, they might end up paying u far less than your property is worth[/quote]unfortunately it happens all over the world, especially where critical infrastructure are involved just read this the other day about a fast railbeing built http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23771547-crossrail-paid-us-pound-800k-too-little-for-property-say-soho-landlords.do You might want to get an injunction until the compensation matter is resolved, make sure you get a surveyor or estate agent to value the property and add some millions for emotional inconveniences, cultural connection to teh land etc etc |
I think there's something called compulsory purchase order by most government that usually comes with compensation-value of the property, cost of moving and legal cost You can discus compensation with them or ask their agent about relocation plans at least You can speak to a lawyer to act on your behalf (and others in the same situation) All this na oyinbo sha, hope the govt of Anambra will be kind enough to work something out Goodluck |
I felt good,because I made sure my friend did not miss Nigeria too much. To me then,the Nigeria I had in mind was utopia - a perfect home full of nostalgia for every traveler; a place one should yearn to return to after a few days or weeks of vacation; a beautiful motherland whose badge one should wear the way a hunchback wears his uke. On our way home from church that day, my friend asked me "Victor, when am I going to see America?" I did not quite get his question first, so I went - huh? And he replied with serious anger in his eyes - "I say when I go see America na, if I wanted to eat Nigerian food and go to Nigerian party and church I would have remained in Lagos because we have them boku." I took a deep breath and let out a pained laugh. I apologised. I had mistaken him for my other friends that visit from interior America, remote areas where Nigerians are not many and kparakpor is low. That night we went to Washington DC. We ate fat juicy, greasy burgers from McDonalds and drank Budweiser all night. I made sure he paid for his food and drink. Before he went shopping at the mall, I gave him a new copy of Yellow Pages and a DC Map so he wouldn't get lost.On the day he was to return to Nigeria, I called a cab to take him to the airport, because that is the American way. from 234NEXT |
The following day was Saturday. There was a Nigerian wedding around the neigbourhood. Excitiedly I told my friend he wouldn't miss Nigeria during his short stay in America. He smiled and followed me to the party. Again, there was all kinds of Nigerian food. Amala and efuo riro was on the menu. Cow legs the size of Julius Berger earth-moving equipment were served in large trays. Souvenirs went round and we sprayed dollars on the celebrants. Adewale Ayuba, the original Mr. Johnson, played good music that evening and Nigerian women danced like koso with gele resting at the tip of their well powdered foreheads. Asoebi brightly coloured the party and non-Nigerian friends envied our cultural heritage. By the time we left for home, we were quite full but the weather was cold, a reminder that the party might look and feel like a proper Lagos one, but this is America. On Sunday morning, I woke my friend up at 8am to get ready for Bethel Fellowship Church. A church that is 99.9 percent Nigerian, except for a Ghanaian and Sierra Leonean family - whom we converted to Nigerians and allowed God to take care of the Christianity. The opening prayers rattled the earth the church was built on and the praise and worship rendered in Nigeria's three major languages including pidgin English would shame a King Sunny Ade concert any day, anytime. By the time we sat down, my friend had shaken off the devil and evil spirit that may have followed him from Africa and he was sweating as if he just climbed Akpongbon Bridge with a bag of rice on his head. After the service, everybody greeted him and shook hands with him and hugged him. Discussants lingered at the church compound while photographers took pictures of families in every corner. The weather was nice. |
By Victor Ehikhamenor A friend once came from Nigeria to visit me in America and I mistreated him. Unknowingly. Upon his arrival, I went to Iroko Market, the local African market where everything from ugba to ube can be found - but in a frozenly lamentable state. I bought every kind of ingredient and condiment that usually causes a go-slow in any good Nigerian egusi soup. Before I left the market (it is a super market, not anything close to Balogun Market) I went to the back and heaved a bag of Iyan (powdered pounded yam) on my shoulder and grabbed some bottled palmwine. Why? Because I wanted to give my friend a taste of Nigeria in America. We Nigerians don't travel light; we take our baggage wherever we go - including a heavy and debilitating culture of good hospitality, which I call African Hospitality on American Express. We discussed everything from Nigerian politics to good old times, when he was the first person that bought my art works in Lagos in the early 90s. By the time the jetlag was dropping to his jaw, the pounded yam was ready. The egusi was fully covered with brokoto, bush meat, pomo, periwinkles, shaaky, fried fish, dried fish, bonga fish, okporoko - in fact, the soup was assaulted by assorted meat. My friend ate really well and drank some of the palmwine which he said tasted like badly mixed alabokun. That was not a problem, I went to the fridge and brought a criminally cold six-pack small stout, aka Guinness. He beamed a smile and by the time the evening sun tipped off the sky, my friend was asleep. |

He said a cabal within the oil industry was doing everything to frustrate the operation of the refineries, adding that the sum of $7.5 million was spent on Kaduna Refinery, which was still not functioning. He declared that the only solution was deregulation of the industry.notice how this journo keeps repeating everything said/disclosed instead of using their words in quote within the same sentence After telling us what the rep/senators say he then go on to explain it [url=http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/article01//indexn2_html?pdate=181109&ptitle=Reps%20list%20conditions%20for%20deregulation]Guardian[/url] Alifa Daniel and John-Abba Ogbodo |
