May her soul rest in peace Bro.
Take heart Meh.

Tnx bro....
U rock.

14th Feb. 2015.....
Lost my Mum via a road mishap, it was scheduled to be an election day, but was postponed for a later date, dad decided to travel home with Mum of blessed memory for a project, dad was on the steering, the rear tire of his car bursted and veered off the bridge along Kaduna - Abuja express way, my Mum gave up the ghost right at the arm's of my dad...
Was away in Niger state to see my younger bro, was at the gym when I heard of the sorry news, cried all the way from Niger state to Kaduna state, where her remains was deposited at St Gerald Hospital.
Had never celebrated Val's day since then, I just lock myself indoors to mourn my Mum.
Such a sad way to lose my Mum and date.

Achorise:
You also write intelligently, beyond the the norm.
I wish I could write like you guys.

Tnx a bunch...
You are also a fine writer too, depict from your construction.

gaby:
Humbled by your comments bro. I'll do a special thread of my experiences even if for nothings else but to teach people about the ups and downs of life.

The beauty in my story is that it's a first hand and a personal experience so the narrative naturally flows like a hot knife through butter. No forcing it.

Thanks once againg for your kind words

Am fascinated and astonished by your keen sense to details, you have a fantastic memory, recalling details so effortlessly, I was just imaging those scenario's you mentioned, as if it were a movie 'in real time' just playing out....
You may be our own version of Mario Puzo, so do not relent.

gaby:
lol..appreciate your kind words..all teary right now..just thinking about it all. I went through hell i must confess,all in a bid to change my family's discourse as a first son.

I won't be conservative about how a good read my story will be in the form of a book. My only limitation sometimes stems from my lack of self confidence seeing how i abandoned my studies for the journey. Couldn't make it to grad school.

Save it joor....
Which kind yeye limitation!
U are more intelligent, knowledgeable, brilliant and articulate than most Msc holders here in naija,
If I get your calculations well, U should be around 40 yrs old now, which isn't too late to get back to school, if U can't make it to an ideal University setting due to your tight schedule, U can get enrolled into an Open University....
Please do not set barriers or limitations to what U can achieve or become "education wise" in life...
U wld do so well when U get back to school due to your passion and penchant towards creating a niche for U and ur family, and becoming successful...
Best of luck.
I look forward to read from U.

This is going to make a long read though but here we go..

The story about a day i'll never forget..

The year was 1999 and i was just 21,had dropped out of college and decided to migrate for economic reason from my home state in Nigeria.

With no pre-requisites nor sufficient finance to go legal by obtaining a visa and flying,i opted to travel by land through the desert onwards Spain via Moroco. There was however a snag as all i had was a map and a sketch of how and where to change vehicles at specific towns in each country i’ll be passing through. Fortunately on the night i was to board the check out bus from my small town of Benin City enroute Katsina State bordering Nigeria and Niger Republic,half the passengers on the bus turned out to be making the same journey so we all naturally gelled and formed a group.

We got to the border town the next morning and got smuggled into a vehicle that took us further into Niger Republic specifically to a town called Agadez.We did a couple of more days there until we got the next connection to smuggle us through the Sahara desert into a town (Tamaransett) in Algeria. Pertinent to note here that the ultimate target of our journey was to hit Morroco from where we can either Climb accross the razor fences seperating Morocco from either of Spain’s enclave of Ceuta and Mellila both on mainland Morocco.This is actually like crossing from Mexico into the US.

A lot happened on the travel through the Sahara as we did the journey in three days.From co travellers collapsing and been abandoned in the desert to having to survive on our urines. Travelling through the desert we did come upon a couple of human skeletal remains of a couple of unfortunate travellers.

Not to bore you folks with my epistle so i’ll leave out much of what i went through on the journey and continue from when we got into Moroccan territory or the border between Morocco and Algeria in a town called Magniya.Everybody journeying through that route actually get together at this jungle-a valley actually where we set up camps and wait to make up a certain acceptable number for the smugglers to take us on the journey by foot through the woods,deserts and jungles of Morroco to evade the authorities.On a good day with a good guide who knows the route well that’ll be a 2 weeks or thereabouts journey on foot.

So on this day my group and i got prepped to embark on this journey.We had gotten our standard supplies of barguettes,sardines and milk to survive on just enough not too heavy to burden us on the long walk.

We journey only at nights for cover.On the first night we covered a couple of km’s in between some guys and ladies already dropping by the way side not able to keep up pace and exhausted,nobody even cares it’s either you ship in or ship out. So we continued until i eventually took a short rest and afterwards got sperated from the group and i knew not what way to continue on.

Out of frustration,hunger and desperation i decided to come out of the woods in broad day not a single scare of the police as i would have gladly ran to them at this point if for nothing at all just for something to eat and a place to sleep.I started begging for food from some locals who were so kind God bless them.These locals will actually get into trouble with the authorities if it becomes public knowledge that they are habouring or didnt report seeing an alien.But these guys will take me in,make me ‘shai’ morrocan tea and bread then hide me until night time then show me how to go and avoid the cops.

So i continued until i got to Nador.This town actually borders Mellila one of the spanish Territories on Morrocan soil.Meanwhile as a group,our original destination was Rabat where we have a decent population of fellow immigrants on the same journey,where we could gather and map out the next strategy on how to cross into spain either by ferry on. a dingy across the atlantic/mediterranean or scaling the razor fences.

When i arrived Nador i was lost for how to proceed being alone.Mind you it was 2 weeks plus already since i got seperated from my group.I hadn’t showered all these while so you can imagine what i was like. While thinking about my life and how to proceed a bike drove up to me and asked i hopped on,i was hesitant but he insisted and i obliged.He drove me for about 5 kilometres and stopped then asked me to keep left and climb a super mountain across that if i did that and kept to my left i’ll get close to the razor fence.

I thanked him and started on the journey of climbing the huge mountain.From my reckoning i started ascending at about past 8pm when the.man dropped me and when i got to the peak of the mountain where i could see all around Nador and also look into the spanish territory it must have taken me about 3 hours but i became so fired up that at least i’m close to spain.

While i was still basking in the euphoria of my new found luck and planing on where to attack from,the heavens gave way and it started raining cats and dogs with no where to take shelter.

I decided to just keep walking with no particular direction until i happened on a cemetry.When i got to the cemetry at about 12–1 am i couldn’t hold it any longer.I just broke down and started crying my hearts out thinking about my family and friends and how no one knows where i am at what i was passing through. Afterall and the rain had subsided i hadn’t the will to continue that night i just laid on the closest grave to me and prayed for the person resting there.

Pretty tough journey i must confess but had to leave out most parts for easy reading.

Thats it folks a lil story about my life.

Thanks for your time and for reading.

U write so brilliantly considering the fact u dropped out from high school, U got me so hoodwinked by your narrative, I took my time to digest every piece of your epistle.
U have got an experience of a lifetime and as such nothing can take U by surprise as regards your ordeal back then.
I would only plead U create a thread about your journey back then, it would be an interesting read, u would sure keep your readers glued and captivated, some may even get to pick one or two lessons from the captivating journey which may redefine their life decisions.
Tnx 4 sharing...

fuel pump is more about the engine strength and not the car brand 1.8L, or 2.0L or 3.0L
your car should be a 2.0L engine 4 plugs ?
the fuel pump will be around 5k in ladipo or ojuelegba but be careful and get it tested before paying oooo
guy are not smiling

Tnx bro, U have been helpful.
It's 2.0L, 4 plugs, manual tranny.

Ac Milan players na just goats. Which kind rubbish football be this

I just pray make them give Arsenal to Atletico Madrid.

Which kind Atletico!!!
Evil child

If it were to be in the UAE, heads would definitely roll, they don't compromise when it comes to issues that pertains structural engineering, the engineer's involved now would just humble go to jail without any hearing in court cos that's where they belong after this terrible mishap.

xreal:
Where is the right hand of that police in blue top?
She is obviously deeping her hand in Gene's bag.

Genevieve should be vigilant, police are the criminals we have in Nigeria.

I tell U, reminds me of how a family friend whom is a soldier and the wife a police woman stole from my dad in his locker right inside his room, my dad came back from his business trip and was accusing me, I remembered vividly that the police Lady was the only woman that came visiting, what a shame! I told him and he went to a spiritualist whom confirmed what I had told him earlier, we should be mindful of friends we invite into our families, this happened about 15 years ago.
A Yoruba police thief she was.

Where did U see 1996 exactly in that post?
What coup took place in 1996?
All these indomie generation forming bloggers...

Arc Bala Bantex, the brave dep Gov that gave that Dwarf in Kad State a factory resetting slap that formatted his skull....
It made the guy a legend.

Germandude:
Thank God my sisters husband has been redeployed back to Benin.presidency lying to itself about BH defeat.

Don't be too happy because once one had been earlier deployed to Borno, there is a high tendency of being redeployed.

TheMadame:
Driving to work this morning, I noticed that many drivers of vehicles, I drove past or that drove past me, adorned their dashboards with horse whips of various designs and colours.These whips were conspicuously displayed and it got me wondering their purpose. Are the meant to be used to flog other adults or are they meant to flog fellow adult drivers?
I think this is a carry over of the force mentality of the military era or what say you?

So common and annoying, most esp here in the FCT, I entered a presumed Deeper life members car who may be a personnel of the FRSC and saw a horsewhip on his dashboard, I became angry, U need to see the way he confronted another road user for wrong driving, I felt really ashamed, being a force personnel doesn't warrant one being a bully, thereby constituting nuisance on the road.

Little wonder!
Just knew Oga Explorer was getting stuff cooked the moment I saw him on the Autos section few days ago, U just won my admiration bro...
Thumbs up.

Explorers:
Waoh....

U are everywhere bro......

NwaAmaikpe:



The lawyer is a fool to have wasted precious time drawing a dullard.

Serves him right.
Ass-lickers everywhere.

A fool that can feed your generation, he is a Lawyer per excellence and also my pastor at The Transforming Church, Gwarinpa, 7th Avenue, he is Anointed with healing, so you should try and contact him personally to lay his hands on you, so that God would use him as a medium to heal you of all your infirmities, in order for U to start reasoning as a sane human.

Zonacom:
Won't be surprised if all these things you listed are facts. My question is simple? How come you always know something about everyone and everything? You be google?

My thoughts exactly bro, behind the clownish and comic relieve lies a very brilliant and intelligent fellow, he is so vast in knowledge.

NwaAmaikpe:



Imagine the fvckery.

Smuggling contrabands on a motorcycle.
They aren't even concealed yet Nigerian Customs won't apprehend them simply because they are Northerners.

But from Seme to Idiroko down to Ore and even Agbor, if you like hide half bag of smuggled foreign rice and rebag it in a cement sack and further plant it in a container hidden inside a MACK truck. Customs will catch you.

Which way Nigeria?

Bro... ur sense of humour and intelligence is top notch.

Fear God...
How's this a Reg vehicle?

lindashealthwat:
Just in case you don't know. Why this is more than a dip is there is a ban by China.
