Family / Re: Police Invitation; What Could Go Wrong At The Police Station? by ehissi(m): 12:16pm On Mar 05
Afonja2000:
This my female colleague at work received a call from a female Police officer by name officer angel.

She informed her that her husband brought a complaint against her to the station and as a result her presence is required at the station.

It was when she got home tonight that the police Invitation was handed to her by a co-tenant.

Right now, she is contemplating if she should honor the invitation or not as she is not sure if the Nigerian police can be trusted.

From what I could gather concerning her and her husband is that they have been married for less than two years. The foundation of the marriage was built on lies. The husband pretended to be what he wasn't during their courtship, which unfortunately lasted less than three months.

My colleague for reasons I'm yet to understand failed to make all the necessary enquiry concerning the man she was getting married to.

The man has been married before in which the first wife died as a result of maltreatment from the man and his family members especially from his mother and his elder sisters.

My colleague saw a completely different man from what she thought that she got married to in less than a month after their white wedding.
She was always treated like a slave by her mother in law and two of her daughters with broken marriages.

The husband always accused her of having extra marital affairs with no tangible evidence to back it up and usually have her locked out of their rented apartment.

This is actually the first time she stood up to her husband and the next thing he did was to report her to the police.


The Nigerian Police will never get involved in dispute between married couples as they insist it is a family matter. Never.....This is a fact

Your colleague is definitely keeping some information from you at best, at worst she is lying to you!....

An invitation is poor man's arrest, meaning the person that reported to the police didn't have money to mobilise them to get you arrested.....

So she should go to with lawyer & respond to the invitation.

Remember, when getting involved with couples, never judge any matter or person by listening to one side of a story, especially if the woman is the one talking.....

It will save you from doing or saying or getting into anything stupid/foolish/dangerous, experience in these type of cases is usually the worst teacher......

Politics / Re: Why I Located $800m Geometric Power Plant In Aba - Barth Nnaji by ehissi(m): 9:49am On Feb 27
SoNature:
If not that APC members love politics more than their lives, these are the kinds of technocrats that should be made the power minister.

Na for APC government lawyer be power and aviation ministers. Those people don't care about development; they are just after the next election!

He was an adviser to Obasanjo on power & was power Minister under president Goodluck Jonathan, he had the best record, but electricity workers union fought for him to be removed....

He had a reputation for firing incompetence. Whenever Turn around maintenence was to be done on power plants he was always first on site, he is also a pioneer Dean of Engineering of a faculty Engineering in a university in Canada .

Unfortunately 2 things counted against him, first of which he was hated by workers Union.

Secondly, he had shares in Manitoba Engineering, that company has a hand in more than 50 percent of Contracts within the power sector.

He knows the job, when vice president Sambo was reviewing certain contracts awards bid for Turn Around Maintenence, he informed the review board (of which he was Secretary) that he couldn't participate in the contract reveiw as a company he has shares in applied for that contract. He walked out, electricity workers used that to accuse him of corruption & he was made to resign.....

Aside from President Jonathan, he was also guarded by Soldier because of death threats after he cancelled many lopsided contracts & fired all the TCN managers in one day.

After he left, President Goodluck tried to convince him to return, because he had come to understand that workers didn't want him because he was making them do the work and doesn't compromise.

Jonathan went so far to track the Igwe of his village to beg, but Oga Barth refused. He gave a full page statement in the press before his resignation & told Nigerians what to expect after he leaves.......he was right

Autos / Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by ehissi(m): 7:50pm On Feb 22
kowalsky:
Sometime Mid October I contacted KakakiAutos, I think the active handle is lanreg95 to help get a 2017 RX 350 FSport. Had a hard time finding the particular spec I wanted in Nigeria so I considered bringing it in from the US.

First contact, swift replies, smooth talk, the entire shenanigans of a sleazy salesman.
I'd read a review by 222martins or so where he bought a GX, so I was pretty much comfortable with doing business with this mofo.

In the space of two weeks or so I transferred about 45 Million to his account.
I was very particular about getting my car to Nigeria before December because well, I wanted to flex on people during Christmas and also because I have a busy schedule, that time would be the only time I'd have time to fix whatever fixables since this was a Copart Vehicle.
I got assurance that this would be in Nigeria that time.

Since paying for this vehicle all I've got are explanations with no evidences whatsoever.

First off. I got two extra bills one because this dude failed to do the FX conversion day I sent him the money. Second for some allegedly unforeseen issues with the vehicle. These extra bills summed up to millions but Fair enough.

December came by. No car. January, same. This guy kept barraging me with listicles of illogical excuses. Apparently this car has not even shipped.

Now, I understand that things can happen with a deal like this but you know what freaking grinds my gears with this mofo - he speaks too much English.

In his head, he's this suave and sleek business man with contextual professional replies for every situation and it’s so fvcking annoying. So much that I've lost my patience, not so much because this car is not in Nigeria but mainly because people like this need to be brought down from that egotistical pedestal they've placed themselves on.

You can't hang on to someone else’s 45M and be doing lingual gymnastics and rubbing phonee all around your English.

Going forward I will be involving my lawyers and we will see where that ends for both of us.

I contemplated against creating this thread but reading this guy's replies on WhatsApp just sent me off the edge. Such an annoying dimwit, thinks he's so smart and posh, Gosh

Just saw this thread today for the first time & I shock. KakakiAutos? Na so Tinubulation hit you whey you carry somebody #45m run? Abi E use the money go canada? undecided

It was until I read through the pages before I got a clearer picture of the matter.

I fault Kakaki for buying the car without first informing Kowalsky of the implication of this type of deal (where title is delayed). I guess his zeal to satisfy his customer, was his undoing in this case, considering how difficult it was to get the Fsport variant of this car.

I know how disappointing it is for you to plan your December and its like one allegedly, reliable car dealer is playing with your feelings/#45m like football. And on top of that, getting easy access to the person on phone is now a problem, it's annoying, it is frustrating & irritating.

Even if the car show now, December don pass, so the purpose/thrill of getting the car is gone, also the cost of clearing & shipping that car has changed so even kakaki sef go spend to cover up the difference.

For me, this is my advise to Oga kowalsky, it is not an easy one to do but I feel it is wise.

If he refunds you now, you will lose value on your Naira. It's better kakakiautos get your car out, you can choose to even put it up for sale & get better value for your money spent.


Also oga KakakiAutos, make it a priority no matter how busy you are to give update on things concerning the car no later than 72hrs......if you can afford it, do so every 2 days, make E no be like say
You dey take him for granted.
Before he calls you, keep him updated....

At least, Oga Kowalsky is now aware of this issue of delayed title, so if he is to buy car next time from copart, he can insist that only cars with released titles be bought.....

That's my own 2cents oooo

Car Talk / Re: My Neighbour Jacked Up My Car by ehissi(m): 2:11pm On Feb 17
Missowombo:
Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.

I bought a car, direct from abroad, a very clean and sweet ride, and registered in September, 2023 (5months ago). However, due to the high fuel consumption( V6, 3.5l engine) and the ever unstable fuel price today, I decided to put it up for sale to get a smaller engine capacity. A neighbour expressed interest in buying the car and decided to pay in installment which I agreed. I was also searching for a replacement at this time hoping to use the money realized from the sales to get my preferred ride. My preferred ride prices were shockingly high such that even if I doubled the price I gave to my neighbour it will still not be enough to buy the new ride. Prices rise by the hour these days in Nigeria and I have no hand in this crisis. I returned to my neighbour to inform him that I will not be selling the car anymore due to the present crises in prices of goods in the country. I apologized profusely for every inconvenience and transferred his money back to him. He got angry and said that I must submit the car key and documents to him. He even threatened to send his community and area boys to beat me up and extract the above items.

I came back from work to see my car jacked up, surrounded by 2 other vehicles to prevent the car's exit. For the records, there is no written or signed agreement between him and I concerning this sale. I refunded all his money 1 day after he paid his last installment and kept back my car. I have no hand in Nigeria's current problems. I am pushed to use force here but I am thinking that some initial peaceful resolution could be an option.

Call the police with immediate effect. Go to the police station nearest to your house and report. If he still has the money in his possession and is doing all this, then involve the police.

He will be arrested & made to sign an undertaking that if anything happens to you or your car he should be held responsible
Car Talk / Re: A Friend Borrowed My Car And Brought It Back Like This by ehissi(m): 2:18pm On Jan 23
Spark2:
Good day NL.
A friend of mine borrowed my car few days ago to help ease movement for him. I happily gave him the car because I understood the need he had.

For precautionary reasons, I don't let my fuel get below quarter tank. Each time it gets there, i ensure I top it up.

When I gave this guy my key, I told him clearly to ensure he adds enough fuel as he's leaving my place and not to allow the fuel guage gets below quarter.

My car spent some days with him. he brought back the car and complained that my car has stopped on the way several times and each time it stops, he'd have to buy a little fuel and add before it moves.

Second, he brought back the car with scratches on my front bumper. I learned from someone that he had moved on terrible roads with the car. I was told he went to places that other people had parked because their vehicles can't enter.

I asked how much fuel he bought and he told me he bought a few litres of fuel. This got me furious because this is a journey that if I am to go, I'd have to buy over 40L of fuel.

Third, he brought it back with a faulty fuel gauge, my fuel gauge has never been faulty since I bought my car. It was not possible for me to know the fuel level at the time he returned the car.

I had to go fix my car because I had a need to go somewhere with it. My mechanic opened to tank to check why the car was stopping as well as the fuel gauge. To my surprise, my tank was terribly empty. It was dry.

I had to buy so much fuel as well as fix the fuse of the fuel gauge. As for the scratches, I will have to leave them like that. The funny thing is that my friend cannot even tell me he is sorry.

I have resolved in my mind, I WILL NEVER GIVE ANYBODY MY CAR AGAIN. NO.
ITS ONLY ME THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF MY CAR. I AM THE ONE MAINTAINING IT AND I KNOW EHERE IT PAINS.

what do you think about this?
Do you give out your car to your friends to use especially in this hard economy where fuel, maintenance and cost of parts are on the high side.

Only lend your car unsupervised to fellow car owner. They understand better than those that have never maintained a car

Family / Re: How Can Husband Be AA And Wife Is AS, And Baby Is SS? by ehissi(m): 12:00pm On Dec 31, 2023
adesegun121:
Husband is AA, wife is AS. 3 months after they had their first child, they found out their daughter was SS.

At first, it appeared like a joke, a very bad one. Medically, that isn’t or shouldn’t be possible. They conducted the genotype test in four medical labs, and the result came out the same.

Husband and wife decided to have their genotype test again. Results were the same.

Then it became clear what was happening. Husband ain’t the father of the baby. He secretly had a DNA test and it was confirmed he didn’t father the baby.

Amidst the confusion, he asked his wife if he fathered the baby. Wife wouldn’t confess. She insisted he fathered the baby. It’s just obvious that whoever fathered the baby is AS which resulted in the baby’s SS.

They went for a paternity test and it was glaring husband ain’t the baby’s dad. Wife still insisting she didn’t get impregnated externally. She went ahead to do another DNA. Result was the same.

Wife became a shadow of herself. Husband got crazy. Their home became a “once upon a time.”

Wife kept researching how possible it was that her husband didn’t father her baby and the baby’s genotype is SS.

Then she told a friend of the whole matter. Her friend just felt she’s using female’s antics. “Take responsibility,” she was told. She kept swearing and swearing. Her friend told me of the whole drama.

I kept thinking about how this would be possible. Medically, it was impossible for AA to birth SS. Coupled with the DNA results, it was glaring. But wife claiming innocence and swearing on her life was a whole different thing.

I thought of what could have been. Then I arrived at a conclusion: if wife is innocent, then she’s not the mother of the child. I immediately called my friend that I’ve found a possible solution. MNA (maternity test) to the rescue.

They went for an MNA, and test revealed she’s not the mother of the baby. Babies were changed at birth. Long story cut short, they involved the police and investigations were carried out.

Multiple tests done “here and there.” They got their own baby back – AS. They returned the supposed baby. Hospital was sued for the negligence and trauma.

Wife was so displeased her husband didn’t trust her. They settled and made up. They just had their second baby – a boy. Husband stayed with wife in labor room and monitored everything. Once bitten, twice shy.

At times, so called paternity fraud is change of babies at the hospital.

SOLUTION TO THE ABOVE PROBLEMS:

1. Advise your male children, to stay with their wives in the Labour wards, as their wives are delivering.

2. Advise your female children, to insist on their husbands staying in and remaining in the Labour ward, during child births.

The world of today, are full of people with evil intentions.

Together we can make the world a better place

Source: https://gistmeloveblog.com/how-can-husband-be-aa-and-wife-is-as-and-baby-is-ss/



The real test is to find out if she is the mother of the child so she can be certain the hospital didn't switch babies
Business / Re: BUA Vows To Maintain N3500 Cement Price From January by ehissi(m): 8:40pm On Dec 28, 2023
Enddy50ty:
Nice move for BUA cement but honestly I’ve never seen anywhere they’re selling for # 3,500 naira.

All these prices are just on the internet and pages of newspapers.

It's like you didn't read what OP posted. #3,500 is the price from the factory. The problem now is cost of transport to where you are may vary the price.

For instance, how much will a distributor charge to transport a bag of cement from sokoto to Lagos or from Sokoto to Abuja or from Sokoto to Edo?

Definitely, the price will vary from location to location depending on cost of transport....

The wahala now is that everybody wants to buy only Bua because of price, so supply is scare with people closer to the factory getting access to the cement better than those further away, like in Uromi now, based on cost of diesel is #1,300 per litre, it has affected transport cost so a bag of bua cement is #4,500....

By the time it reaches lagos, it may be different

Whizzdom:
On Tuesday (21-12-2023), I was having serious fever, so went to buy an over-the-counter malaria drug and one flu tablet. The lady chemist told me to use 4 tablets in the morning and 4 in the afternoon for the malaria drug, but for the Flu medicine, I should use 1 tablet in the morning and at night. I took 4 tablets in the afternoon that day. On the next day, which is Wednesday, I took 4 tablets making 8 tablets in total plus 1 Flu tablet, A few hours after I took that medicine, I felt a sharp pain in my left hear, after which the pain subsided.

I am Welder by profession, I went to work that same moment, at work, I was using a grinding machine to grind iron to make iron smooth, the machine makes noise, but this day, as I was grinding, I could feel something in my brain or inner ear bringing buzzing sound or noise into my ear, after grinding that iron, I couldn't ear anything, all I was hearing is just noise.

The next day, which is today Thursday, I could hear people speak but they have to be loud, and my ears can't tolerate noise at all.

To go hospital hard me because I no gallant because of the series of test they will have me run which will expend my money I don't have.

My question is to the learned health practitioners in the house, should I give it time for it to heal on its own or I should go to the hospital for doctor's opinion on the matter.

Attached are the medicines for your scrutiny, I hope it is not one of those fake drugs.

Changes of hearing is one of the side effects of this drug. Coupled with the occupational hazard of your job which is exposure to loud noises, it can trigger changes in your hearing.....

You should have stayed away from work for at least a week while taking this medication.

See an ophthalmologist, they are specialist in ear related cases. The deafness may just be temporary but if not handled well may become permanent.

Go to any teaching hospital or ask any doctor working in a teaching hospital to refer you to an ophthalmologist.....It is well!

I once experienced bad side effects with an anti malarial drug that was recommended by a pharmacy that killed my sense of touch, killed my appetite for food and bruised my kidneys, and I was urinating pure blood for days, till i got help from a doctor....

The drug dealt with the malaria oooh, but I follow the malaria collect.

One time during my ordeal, It took 30minutes in the bank for me to activate ATM card, fingerprint reader couldn't see my finger. I will be having tingling sensations in my fingers for days .Some days I can't use my phone, because the touch screen couldn't feel my finger. I use to bite my finger till it turns red, just so I can use my phone.

That's why now, any antimalarial drug whey pass Lonart DS, I no dey do, I can't kill myself by myself, with my own money.....

Winnin009:


You’re still saying nonsense. Lol. So after he pays taxes; he still have well over 20m to himself. His tax covers healthcare care(which is one of the best in the world, you can see your leaders flying there daily) and education which is still one of the best j the world.

When you calculated taxes and still said he still has to pay for healthcare, it was obvious you don’t know what you’re saying. A simple google search will save you from that ignorance. (Unless he wants to pay privately for health insurance)

You must have really low standards to think one can live comfortably with 500k monthly with family of four and paying school fees, healthcare, light, gen and feeding.

You highlighted the cost of food like akpu is the only food there. It’s common knowledge that food isn’t a luxury there like it is here but you can believe what you want.

Just don’t come with phony stats like you’re talking to some uninformed individual like yourself.

He say na access to better clothes; lol. See your reasoning. Lol. What you call better clothes here are cheap clothes there. You’re still making no point. I’m not sure you have anyone abroad and if you do then stop talking to them. They clearly don’t like you.

Build one house in one remote area after saving all your life as a bank manager; like I said, you have low standards. Lol.

This uk guy with 20m to spare will live a more comfortable and fulfilling life lol. In five years, he’s already building his first house while you’re still saving up your 500k that loses value with each passing day. When he comes back home, because of his diligence to work and the way the system reward works, the bank manage will trip over his laces to please the window cleaner.

Let’s not even talk about the kids; from an intellectual standpoint, they won’t even be mates. Do you think the bank manager can afford the latest gadgets for his kids when they want? I can tell you for free that he cat try that on a 500k salary. I’m sure you know that garbage disposal guys can literally afford to get their kids the best of gadgets.

You talking about a car; 😂😂😂
The manager would have to save to buy a car of his own (unless of course the bank gives him an office car) and will only be able to do that after years but with the window cleaner job, the uk guy can get a car after about 6 months or less of work.

Please, the difference is basically light and day.

Also note this; someone making that money in the UK might be in the below average income family in the uk but definitely not by world standards but the bank manager isn’t even exactly comfortable in Nigeria and across the globe, he is downright poor! That’s $500/month you’re justifying!

Well I guess you are well informed and I am not? undecided

Let me understand something....

I said his take home pay after income tax deductibles is £20k+, you say that is still #20million, as though he will live in Naira based on cost of living in Nigeria in Naira or live pounds based on cost of living in the uk, okay.

You said someone earning £1,917 will build his first house in the UK within 5yrs (not mortgage ooh, not buy, build his first house in the UK), please bless us with your wisdom and tell us parts of the UK where someone who earns £1917 pounds a month will be able to build his own house within 5yrs. How much do you think it costs to buy a house in the UK, let alone build one?

Also you said a window cleaner of high rise buildings in the UK may be below average income based on UK standards but not world standards, but the Bank manager in Nigeria, earning #500,000 a month, based on all standards across the globe is poor? grin

Also you said, a bank manager will have to save for many years before he can afford to buy a car, but a window cleaner of high rise buildings will be able to afford a car is 6 months or less ? grin

Well dem don first talk am say na only 3 people you no fit advise for this life.

People whey newly join APC! People whey fall in love and people whey never enter UK! grin

There is another basic Economic fact you guys do not know, you basic salary those specify the salary you take home, I will take myself as an Example cos I am a hands on worker. Now I earn as much as my basic salary in overtime and off duties work cos we do not call it over time we call it premium pay ie x2 or x3 our basic pay per Hour. There is a lot you guys do not know about the west so It would be in your own interest to allow those who live i n the west to explain stuff to you guys to increase your KnowledgeSet is not an argument but basic truth, There is a lot you guys do now know but Im sure o nce you ask the right questions respectively you will get the right answers!

£23,000 a year is just £1,917 pounds a month, how much is food, how much is house rent, furniture, fittings and electronics? How much is phone and phone bills? Car note and fuel? TV license? Gas for cooking and heat in winter? Clothes nko? NHS/Health care cost nko?


Based on current income tax system, personal allowance (which is annual income that isnt subject to any income tax) is set at a threshhold of £12,570. Anything above this to £50,270, the excess is subject to a 20% deductible income tax.

So by simple maths £23,000 - £12,570 = £10,430

20% of £10,430 is £2,086, so his annual income tax out of that £23,000 a year is £2,086. Which means his annual income after they deduct income tax is £20,914. That is £1,742 a month......

We have not deducted NHS and other deductible taxes from that £1,742, we haven't touched on your personal bills and utilities......

Anybody, earning £1,917 monthly before taxes is considered low income, anybody that earns £1,917 monthly before taxes that supports a family is considered poor in the UK!!

At #6,000,000 a year in Nigeria Sir, you are not poor. If they paid you that #6,000,000 here in a year, you are more than capable to live a comfortable life, dress well, buy a good used car, raise a family, send your kids to reasonably good schools and if you manage money well, build a house in one remote area to retire to as a pensioneer.

Try and achieve the same feat in the UK on £23,000 a year whether you no go jam rock!

How is making 23k pounds a year worse than making 500k a month? You do know that one translates to over 20m Naira annually while the other is 6m annually. Lol.

Please, kindly tell us how it’s better? Ohhhh because he’s inside AC and a bunch of loser bankers call him sir?! He should forgo 14m and access to the best facilities life has to offer because of what? Your ego?



This is the problem with some Nigerians, you assess ones income overseas based on the value of the money in your own country.

Is he living in Nigeria or living in the UK? Will he spend his income based on the cost of living in Nigeria in Naira or the cost of living in the UK in British pounds?

If I want to follow your argument in reverse, inside that same UK so, to buy raw akpu (Fufu) whey no big reach anywhere, is £2, which is #3,130 compared to #100 in Nigeria, e make sense abi?

20% of £10,430 is £2,086, so his annual income tax out of that £23,000 a year is £2,086. Which means his annual income after they deduct income tax is £20,914. That is £1,742 a month......

We have not deducted NHS and other deductible taxes from that £1,742, we haven't touched on your personal bills and utilities......

Anybody, earning £1,917 monthly before taxes is considered low income, anybody that earns £1,917 monthly before taxes that supports a family is considered poor in the UK!!

At #6,000,000 a year in Nigeria Sir, you are not poor. If they paid you that #6,000,000 here in a year, you are more than capable to live a comfortable life, dress well, buy a good used car, raise a family, send your kids to reasonably good schools and if you manage money well, build a house in one remote area to retire to as a pensioneer.

Try and achieve the same feat in the UK on £23,000 a year and see whether you no go jam rock!

That's one of the top paying jobs abroad because of the safety risk. To clean window no be small and if it makes you happy, good. Nigeria should let people be paid for their skills so unemployment can reduce. I wish Seun pays jobless people here to help the economy.

To those who always judge japa, many of you suffer from low self esteem. The land is green where you water the grass. If Naija bad for your eye, everything you do go bad, u no go see good thing there. Focus on your life wherever you are and stop wasting your time worrying about others.

I promise you, they are not considered as skilled workers and aren't paid as much.

Some care workers make way more than that.

Note, that figure stated is annual salary.

He was probably better off collecting #350,000 - #500,000 as a Branch manager than running overseas, except he has a plan to upgrade his qualifications and get better jobs offers, he isn't living his best life at the moment

NYSC / Re: Chaos At NYSC Abuja Camp: Alleged Assault By Commandant On Corps Members by ehissi(m): 6:42pm On Dec 14, 2023
Opportuneke:
This is my take on this issue…

The military is military any day anytime 👌🏻
Military works based on instructions and order 💯

Why will you be in mammy when you were supposed to be receiving lectures, 💁🏽‍♂️ That’s arrant nonsense, it’s indiscipline.

You don’t flout orders and think there won’t be consequences.

I served as far back as 2012 in Enugu state, Udi local government precisely during the days of Sullivan Chime as the governor.

Don’t come online to tell us bullshit 🤷🏻‍♂️

This so called woke generation are so indiscipline and leverage on social media as a tool of defense while playing the victim card.

I pity for this generation.

Nobody will harass you if you are discipline and adhere strictly to instructions.👍

After five years of postgraduate experience, I got to know how the military operates because I eventually became a member,💁🏽‍♂️ then you would realize that most of the things done out there are totally unacceptable because everyone tends to claim rights and freedom 👌🏻
Visit any military formation and see for yourself, they are always organized just because there’s law and order.


👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼However, I detest harassment as the case may be. But the media didn’t really propagate the real cause of the chaos.🤦🏻‍♂️

We have all seen the kind of society we live in,🤷🏻‍♂️ moral decadence has taken over the climes.

The children of this generation 🤔have no regards and respect for their elders all in the name of woke generation

Let’s always have it at the back of our mind that without an action, there can’t be reactions 👌🏻

In as much as the camp commandant maybe redeployed for going too far, I also foresee that the corp members in question may as well face dismissal or withdrawal from camp based on indiscipline 🤷🏻‍♂️

I rest my case.



You are free to speak bro.

I have spoken 🙌🏻



Kindly go through my write ✍🏻 up again, this time slowly please and without emotions 🙏🏽



Kindly point out a place in my write up where I supported brutality and harassment 🤔




Was there a place I sided with harassment or brutality of any kind in my write up🤷🏻‍♂️

Please read again 🤭




I really appreciate your input, of course I don’t expect majority to agree with my point of view 👌🏻

However be reminded that the same Nigerians who have refused to obey LAWS AND ORDER in their own country and decided to travel out have been compelled to obey the laws of those countries they migrated to 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those countries we all rush to because they are developed actually got to that stage because they are disciplined and they respect laws and order. 🙏🏽




You made a salient point, we are not in junta however a sick corp member should report at the sick bay where he/she will be taken care of and can as well be given a medical paper stating the conditions of his health.

Assault is never an option, the camp commandant may have gone out of the box in addressing this issue.

You just stated that you served and never witnessed such situation, exactly my point, 👍 something must have transpired. It’s just unfortunate the issue is not well handled.

Talking about soldiers welfare and wellbeing as well as military operations just like you mentioned sambisa, hmmm I will like to tell you that, if you think you know anything about the military, you don’t know shit.

Nigeria is gifted, Nigeria’s military is one of the strongest fighting forces on earth but there are somethings better left unsaid.

This is a discussion for another day 👌🏻

GOD BLESS NIGERIA 🙌🏻

Be rest assured, no Corps Member will face any disciplinary measure for what transpired here......

In fact, they will increase the size of fish in their stew from that day forward to ensure morale and order returns to the camp........ grin

If anything, NYSC will do damage control to ensure that not only is this matter de-escalated and wiped out from social media memory/frenzy but will leverage on it to ensure military formations in Abuja expand their quota for Corps members........

We have had worse than this and the heavens didn't fall, this one na wawa matter.

And for reference, I did my NYSC in Jos with NAF and was fully/culturally integrated within the base, went to a command secondary school as kid, so I easily had the best track record as a Corps members which earned me access to de-briefings were Squadron Leaders and Wing commanders use luck to enter.

So I am speaking from some depth of experience!

ImoleNaija:
For weeks, I have lost interest in sex. Even when I try to force the erection, I lose it before mounting, as there's no strength to sustain it at all. All her words of encouragement/motivation hold no water. She's so pitiful.


Experienced husbands, how do you manage your sex drives & financial depression?

Less coke and Fanta and more exercise, preferably with heavy weights.

Dry bones will rise again
