Here is mine

That road is in a really bad shape, I saw a video of Mr Obaseki on that road, seeking the intervention of the FG to help fix the road.

When asked about the FG plan for the road, In his word;

"We just don't know, we don't know, we are really helpless"

I give up! If a governor of a state can say We are helpless, mehn, we are really helpless.

I pity my people that will be traveling on that road in December.


i am not sure if they have any plans for that road,years from now

jerryunit48:
I was interested in your post until I saw “ no access road to Benin and Abuja “ Why not ask the Ishan man that ruled Edo state for 8 years and got himself a beautiful wife ?

The past leaders have failed us,but we can't continue to dwell in the past

What Sin Has Esan Committed? by Okoemu Okoemu Okoemu
Esan land is a major tribe in South South Nigeria and dominant tribe in Edo state of Nigeria; yet Esan is suffering from reckless abandoned. This is Esan though small nationally, have contributed greatly to the political activities of Nigeria. What manner of contribution? This may well be the sin. In the table of independence struggle, Chief Anthony Enaholo; an Esan from Uromi the business hub of Esan land, was there, post independence, government and politics had Sir Tom Ikhimi, as minister of foreign affairs in 1995, special adviser to Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha in February 1994 etc, Chief Tony Aneni, minister of works and housing (1999-2003), etc, Admiral Augustus Aikhomu (rtd.) deputy head of state to Gen. Ibrahim Babagida 1984-1986, etc, Elder Odion Ugbesia, minister, solid mineral, Architect Mike Onolememen, minister, of works recently, Ambrose Alli, governor of bendel state as it then was. Upon all these men who are suppose to be great with the exception of Professor Ambrose Alli, Esan is like a cursed land and a vastly backward politically.
The current shame on the face of Esan now is the no assess to the city of Benin and no assess to the federal capital territory; reason being that, the road which is the linker is dead and is in such a pitiable condition. Traders are suffering, students are suffering, and Ambrose Alli university is threatened. No road, no development, no improvement. Normally, a student of ambrose alli university stood by road side and with three hundred naira travelled to Benin in about 45minutes, but since the bad road, you beg transporters with seven hundred and at times eight hundred naira to Benin and in about two hours and some, you are still not in Benin from Esan; sometimes you are forced to cancel your journey because the alternative road is block as a result of truck falling on the road, and or, vehicles sank in the usual road before they divert to a manageable road that would take them to Agbor Benin road to Benin. If the journey is so urgent, one would go to abgor and then enter Benin from agbor. This is frustrating and painful to well meaning sons and daughters of Esan.
I write now first to His Imperial Majesty, omo'N Oba N' Edo, Uku akpolokpolo, Oba Ewuare N' Ogidigan II of Benin kingdom, to help Esan land and students of Edo state university to reach out to federal government of Nigeria, minister of works and the president federal republic of Nigeria to please pay immediate attention to the Benin-Esan road which also dub a federal road that linked the south south region to the federal capital territory Abuja. This plead is not to the Oba alone but to all well Nigerians, alinko dangote whose business runs the road frequently. You can help us beg the federal government, formal governor Adams oshiomole, you can as well, help the Esan people reached the federal government on this injury in our heart. Governor Godwin Obaseki, you can as well help us, Esan is a major part of your territory, and to our senator Odia, members house of representative, Segius etc, do not allow yourselves to fall in the pot of failures like those Esan sons I mentioned earlier, talk to the federal government, cry to the federal government, beg, asked and keep on until the federal government responds to you. I also beg Esan's own: Cardinal Anthony Okojie, Archbishop Emeritus, Patrick Ekpu, Rev. Chris oyakhilomen, and other religious leaders especially of Esan's origin to please make this problem a prayer point and if it is within their powers, talk to federal government of Nigeria to work on the Esan Benin road which is also Benin Abuja road.
I have no idea how this writeup will reach the appropriate places, but I have written it as it hurt me and do hope it will gets to them.
God bless Esan land
God bless Edo state
God bless the federal republic of Nigeria!

ah don't have any friend on nairaland,still looking for dat special person

How you can get out of the friend zone
I’m actually pretty guilty of putting guys in the friend zone without a second thought. BUT, I do have to put some of the blame on them, for not at least trying to get out. If they would have made any sort of effort in telling me how they felt, or pursuing me in any other way, I may have felt differently.
Usually, they seemed happy to be just my friend, and never tried for anything else. It was only later that they started complaining about it. So, we put together a list of ways you can sneak right out of the dreaded friend zone!


#1 Tell them how you feel. They could have put you in the friend zone without even knowing that you have feelings for them—which is NOT their fault. If you’re in the friend zone by default, because you couldn’t muster up the courage to tell them, then you have no one to blame but yourself. Who knows? They could have feelings for you, too.

#2 Show them how you feel. If telling them isn’t an option, because you’re scared, or nervous, or whatever lame excuse you have, show them how you feel. Act like you have feelings for them. Tell them you like their new haircut, or that the color of their shirt makes them look really good. Do things for them that show them you care more than a friend would.

#3 Make them see you in a romantic way. More than likely, you’ve shown them the more intimate side of yourself. Now, I’m not saying to go make out with them, or anything. But make them picture you being someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend.
For example, if they start telling you about how this person’s boyfriend did this, come back by saying, “If I had a boyfriend/girlfriend, this is what I would do.” It gets their mind thinking about the way you’ll treat your significant other.

#4 Don’t let them talk to you as a friend.
People don’t talk to their friends like they do to their significant others. If that’s your end game, don’t let them talk to you like you’re their BFF. Don’t let them gossip about other love interests, or complain about them, either. Let them talk about anything BUT significant other problems. They’ll never think of you as a possible boyfriend or girlfriend if they talk to you about those issues—trust me.

#5 Figure out why they only like you as a friend, and fix it.
Maybe you only treat them like a friend. Maybe they don’t think you’re that compatible. Whatever it is, there is probably a way to get around it. If they don’t think you’re compatible, for instance, you can make it a point to show them just how compatible the two of you really are.

#6 Make physical contact every now and then. No. I don’t mean go, slap their butt, and tell them they look nice. Not at all. Subtly and nonchalantly make a point to touch them from time to time. Establishing physical contact will make them see that you’re being a little more than friendly.
A great way to do this is to just pat them on the back as you come up behind them, or touch their shoulder when they’ve said something funny. Little things that close the gap between you will move you out of the friend zone.

#7 FLIRT WITH THEM. For the love of all that is holy, FLIRT WITH THEM! One of the only things that can differentiate someone from liking a person as a friend and liking them more than a friend is flirting. If you’re continuously flirting with someone, you will send them a clear message that you like them romantically.
Not only that but by flirting, you’re also opening up the opportunity for them to flirt back. This is a great way to lightly exchange some fun conversation that isn’t drawing attention to the fact that you’re stuck in the friend zone.

#8 Make them miss you. One thing that happens a lot of the time is that the people who put you in the friend zone don’t realize their own feelings. I have actually been guilty of this, and it was too late for me to have him after he found someone else.
I didn’t realize I felt that way until he was relatively out of my life. So, take a break. Don’t act mad, or anything, but just be busy. Be busy enough that they’re coming to you to hang out or to see what’s up.

#9 Casually compliment them out of nowhere. Perfectly placed compliments can go a long way to get you out of the friend zone. Telling them they look great when they’re wearing grubby clothes shows them that you find them attractive, even when they’re not all done up. They’ll appreciate this.
Compliments can also help because people ALWAYS feel the need to compliment you back—which means they will be looking for something attractive about you. It’s literally giving them a reason to look at your best attributes.

#10 Surprise them with something subtle, but sweet. Surprising them with something that they wouldn’t expect you to remember is a perfect way for them to see how much you really care, and they will start to care about you because of your kindness.
Try bringing them their favorite cookies *that no one else but you knows they love*. This is a perfect way to sneak even more out of the friend zone!

#11 Do things for them that you would do for a boyfriend/girlfriend. If you really want to get out of the friend zone, then stop acting like you’re in it. Act like they’re your boyfriend or girlfriend. Treat them like you would your significant other, and you’ll be surprised how easily you can slide out of that zone.

#12 Realize that it might not have anything to do with YOU. Sometimes, you may be in the friend zone, simply because they aren’t in a place in their life that they can be dating or having a significant other. If you realize that and back off, they will notice and appreciate that, and then who knows? Maybe down the road, they’ll remember you being understanding, and it’ll make them like you more.

#13 Accept only having friendship. Sometimes, if you really want someone to see you as more than a friend, the best way to do that is to just accept that you can’t have them. This will lead you to forget about how you’re acting, what you’re doing, and you’ll just be yourself. That could really end up changing how that person feels about you.
Being in the friend zone do

LOL

AH TIRE 4 DEM OOO

Have gained alot,ranging from advices,learning from others people experience and also from other people mistakes

monex:
that's not the dick itself smelling but the balls and groin due to heat, sweat or poor hygiene.

the vagina on the other hand always has an odour which is not usually repugnant except if there are infections.

if you can compare the vaginal odour to dick then you should compare the vaginal odour to armpit odour.
