"12. It’s impossible to sneeze with your eyes open."

The above does not apply to me at all! Confirmed over and over..

The second point doesn't really apply to the Nigerian situation but it's still an 'okay' write up.

harmless011:
120km/hr is not over speeding, on a normal road I don't do less than 140km/hr and I don't feel like I'm on top speed. If u can't control a vehicle comfortable at 120km/hr then your driving license should be revoked.

Smh.. this is how we talk with emotions and make little sense. This comment should not have been made as it might mislead some people.

Mr. Man you even sell shipping services and yet participate in these childish exchanges online. What impression do you want people to have of you when they check your signature and read your posts? SMH on this grand scale foo*lishness all over the place

While not supporting the treatment metted to him, but the question is are we sure of what he DID?

Even if he committed murder the point is - why almost kill a man who is down already? Even if he's the most wanted criminal we can all see that he's subdued! Just cuff him and lead him away if he's constituting a nuisance! That is how it is done everywhere sane humans live.
A lot is wrong with the people of this country.. we need help ASAP! This is an eyesore and it is barbaric.

Op, this 1000 naira insurance , wey we dey do for Vio office ?

Is it any good ?

It's typed and all, your name printed on it an all...

N1000 Insurance? That's certainly fake.. popularly known as "police pass". No genuine Insurance Company will sell an original policy for 1k. Even original third party insurance cover goes for N5000 at the moment.

You'll realize how fake it is when it's time for claims. These fake policies are sold by criminals lurking around VIO offices and I often wonder why they are not apprehended if not that... your guess is as good as mine*

I suggest you only renew your vehicle license and road worthiness in those offices and proceed to buy your insurance from the main insurance companies, their agents, your trusted agents or make use of free insurance quote services online.

What works for him will not work for you.
There is what is called destiny

I'm the laziest person on earth, but when i was a kid i knew i would be a millionaire, i use to tell my friends then that even if i sleep for 60 years straight without working that im destined to be rich, i eventually became a millionaire at the age of 22 without working for no one for a single day, that's destiny

If hard work guarantees success barrow pushers, brick layers, bus drivers would be billionaires because those guys grinds and works harder than everyone in this world

The fact that people actually liked this post means there's a lot wrong with my people. This is an example of what NOT to post let alone 'like'. SMH!

Donkenzy47:
Thank you very much much, but from some informations i got online, godaddy has one of the worst hosting reviews online. they seem to only be good in domain name registrafion.

Hey man, well for me time shall tell.. I decided to move my sites to Godaddy hosting because of the reviews I got from other big users including my company's developer. I think online reviews can sometimes be deceptive as affiliates try to hype their offers berate others to make money.

Only time shall tell whether or not I made the right choice - though it's been great so far in the last couple of weeks. Breaking free from bluehost's frequent downtimes was a huge relief for me.

I've been with bluehost since 2009 (vps hosting) but had to abandon them recently for godaddy due to several recent process hang and other uptime issues.

I also have about 6 websites hosted at whogohost and so far the performance has been above average for the past 2+ years. If I were you I'd stay away from bluehost for now unless you want to do shared hosting.

What a wicked world we live in. If the lady could do that then she could have poisoned him in the future. let him see the cup as half full. He should clear his name in the law courts and move on.

Sure thing! The gist is getting stale sef..

One of the "best" pieces I've seen here in a long time.. thank you!

The official website of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Nigeria http://www.nhis.gov.ng/ has been hacked as at this morning by the so called 'Turkish Cyber Army'..

Wondering why many of the official Nigerian Government owned and regulated sites are easy targets for hackers who seem to succeed many times. See picture below:

In case you haven't seen this.. It's gonna make you laugh for sure:

Awww so touching! A four year old already knows there's a dangerous metal (gun) that everyone dreads.

She must have seen and witnessed a lot..

zeya:
He was hasty to resign but like you said, guess he too has already planned out everything and he was doing all in his power to salvage the situation. When one wants to save his/her relationship, the person goes extra mile to do so without even thinking straight. It'll be difficult for him now but with time he'll conquer and get over it. The lady wasn't really for marriage.

I sent you email, maybe we can chat or talk outside the forum.

Sure.. Sent a reply.

mutter:
Anyway why should someone quit his job before getting a visa!
INFACT before even going to the UK to see if he can imagine living there?

Also would like to know how your friend thinks he can contest a divorce.
She does into want again. That is the end of the story.

Yes the lady probably got pregnant for someone who abandoned her, that is common in the UK but children are a gift from God.

I don't think you should judge any of his actions then.. The risky and hasty actions he almost took then was in a bid to save his marriage, that I can understand. It's difficult to think straight at such times. Pray not to find yourself in such a position, but maybe only then can you understand.

As per contesting a divorce, the idea was not to force himself to stay but to counter all the allegations against him with proof so everyone can see who the real looser is. All the allegations of the complainant were 100% false! He was gonna let her go anyways but that will be after clearing his name somehow. At the moment he has decided to let go fully as it's not worth his energy.

As for a married woman getting pregnant for someone else in the UK.. You sound like it's a very normal thing and we should therefore not raise an eyebrow. I beg to differ.

##UPDATE AS AT FEBRUARY 2015##

My friend lost his mother earlier this year and as I write, the burial arrangement have been concluded.. The ever caring mother had been thinking a lot about his son, praying and reassuring him that everything will be fine again.. Little did we know that she was preparing to meet with her maker.

My friend met with me last weekend to give me some interesting updates. The pastor of the church where my friend was joined in holy matrimony with his wife suddenly called him that he needed to speak urgently with my friend and pleaded with him to find time and come see him. Upon meeting with the pastor he was given the shock of his life! His wife had been pregnant for someone else all along and had given birth to a baby sometime in November last year in the UK (meaning she got pregnant around February last year). How did the Pastor get to know? My friend's mother in-law came to the church moments back to see the pastor, crying and absolving herself of every guilt. According to her, her daughter in the UK was already depressed, crying that she had messed up her life.

Consequently, the Pastor apologized to my friend for believing his wife and her mother all along without considering his own side of the story. He begged him to return to his church and also pleaded with him not to drag the divorce case with the wife in court as it's not worth the stress at all. Finally, the pastor opened up to my friend on all the allegations laid in the past against him. My friend told me he was so dumbfounded that he immediately went on his kneels, placed a curse on himself if the allegations are true, and then proceeded to place a curse on his wife that she would never find true love again if the allegations are false.

I had to stop my passionate friend and persuaded him to concentrate on giving his late mother a befitting burial and forget about the woman as she's not worth his time and energy.. We had put one plus one together to finally see the reasons why his wife suddenly started misbehaving (late 2013), refused to return to the country, lied against her husband and started the divorce proceedings against him.

Things are indeed happening! I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't witnessed most of it live..

Kimoni:
I got some issues with this post -

1. Why would the man resign when his visa application has not been granted? Who does that in this age? Even the embassy will tell you not to buy your ticket until your visa is approved.

2. Why would the girl, as smart as she is supposed to be, tell lies that carry no weight and can be easily verified? The one that baffles me most is saying you came to Nigeria to look for him but he had relocated. Isn't that easily verifiable from her passport??

Finding it hard to believe this story!

Dude, not everyone will come online and type a pretty long epistle for the sake of deceiving people. It's unfortunate I didn't come online to reply you on time and now your fellow 'doubters' have started leaving their signatures on this thread.

Now to answer your questions, when the guy resigned from his current work I asked him the same questions.. Why would anyone resign his job to seek out another option that wasn't even close to sure? he simply rubbed it off telling me him and his wife already have it all worked out! Well I guess I'm not supposed to probe at this supposed secret arrangement especially given his unusual confidence at the time. One thing I noticed however is that shortly after the Visa application failed (within 2 months) he was already on another job! I have a feeling he had another arrangement in place in case the visa application failed. He's pretty connected anyway.. I haven't really seen him out of job for a long time since I met him.

As for the second question, the girl obviously hurriedly prepared the divorce letter in connivance with his mother without thinking it through properly. I would have doubted the guy if I didn't see the letter myself. This was why I asked him to counter the allegations of this babe in court and follow it through to conclusion since he has all the required evidence to nail her totally! One thing though, the divorce letter was dated June xx 2014 while the guy received it in November 2014. It's possible that the original game plan was to make it appear as if the letter was sent long ago but the hubby had refused to acknowledge receipt or respond. Whichever lawyer the babe and her mother used to prepare that document was probably interested in getting paid and not in helping them put together a powerful argument. I haven't seen the guy in a few weeks now (he traveled outta Lagos) but of course when we see again I'm sure there will be a whole new update on the matter.

@ All, Thanks for all your responses.. I'm kinda busy and will not be able to follow this thread bumper to bumper as expected. I will however try as much as possible to respond and update y'all as much as I can.

The story I'm about to share here is first hand and real.. Happened to one of my closest pals of 7 years. I'll try as much as possible to make this brief by taking off all the unnecessary details. Please read on..

We all became good friends during our service year back in 2007. Ours was an imaginary clique of big boys and babes (of course in our minds ). The subject of my story met a girl back in camp whom he loved a lot. We all had mad fun back in camp but the story changed when he met this particular one. He chased vigorously after her and when both of them were posted to the same place of primary assignment, they both fell in love and became inseparable. They would do everything and go to everywhere together. In fact they practically became live-in lovers throughout the service year . I had my reservations on the first day I met this babe though, for some reason my spirit just did not approve of her and I discussed this with some of my friends. Well since I wasn't the one involved with her then it's none of my business really. I decided to give my friend the needed 100% support .

Four years down the line after NYSC both of them were still live in lovers here in Lagos. Both of them worked in big companies and were doing fine. As fate would have it some of the old NYSC clique still lived close to each other even here in Lagos. Sometimes this intending couple would visit me and the babe would proceed to the kitchen to fix us some good home made lunch while I discuss work and business with my friend.

One beautiful afternoon we were all together 'gisting' when they broke the good news that they were getting married and I would be their best man. I had to accept theirs even though I had decided not to do the best man thingy anymore. I was very happy for them as I've been expecting the good news. Less than 6 months later they had completed all the traditional marriage rites, together with church and court wedding. This was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, but a bad one so to say. The wife had always wanted to do her masters degree programme in the UK and both of them had agreed that she would travel a few months after the wedding for her masters. He would visit her as often as he can while they would start a family proper after she returns fully from Jand.

That was the last time he would ever set his eyes on her..

Just 8 Months after she left they started having problems.. The wife was telling the husband to resign his work in Lagos and join her in the UK. The guy thought it that was a joke but she was dead serious. Guy was devastated after she refused to change her mind. This guy then decided to resign and apply for Visa if that would win his wife over. Unfortunately his visa application was denied and there was nothing he could do. We all felt for him. The bigger blow came weeks after when the so called wife instructed the husband to move on with his life as she has decided to go for another Masters upon completing the current one. And that's not all, after the 2 masters degree program she would then go for her doctorate degree. This guy nearly died upon knowing that his wife and best friend of 5 years+ might have played him big time!! She changed her phone number, deleted her FB profile and completely stopped receiving calls from anyone who is not in support of her selfish plans .

Just last month the guy received a divorce letter from his Wife, sent through her mother and below were her reasons for divorcing him:

Reason 1: Irreparable breakdown of communication. According to her they have not communicated since 2012.
This is a blatant lie . The guy had made photocopies of their email correspondence during the first 8 months when the going was good.

Reason 2: There were allegations of Extortion. The Wife had complained in the divorce letter that the guy coerced her into working in the UK so she can be sending him money.
To counter this claim the guy was able to retrieve all the tellers that would serve as proof of all the cash this guy has been sending to this babe. I saw the tellers myself and was shocked to say the least !

Reason 3: Change of matrimonial Home Address. According to the wife, she returned to Nigeria to find that the husband had relocated without letting her know about his new whereabouts. She had to return to the UK after this shocking discovery.
Another lie as the guy has not relocated for the past 4 years he's been working in Lagos .

The guy has been discussing with his Lawyer on whether to let her go without a fight or to counter her claims in court and prolong the whole proceedings. Whatever happens, he has decided to let her go and she's not worth having as a wife (he just realized this). Take note of the following extras:

A. The girl's mum had been a huge cause for concern to this guy from the very beginning. According to him, the girl's mum is both selfish and very demanding. He had to overlook this after the so called wife cajoled him to ignore her mother since he wasn't getting married to her.

B. Talking about physical appearance, the guy is five times finer than the wife. Frankly speaking .

C. The girl's special clique of friends (from her primary school days) is composed of about 6 beautiful Ladies, all over 30 years of age and none of them is married. The last time I spoke to one of the girls who happens to be an old friend, she told me she supported her friend's decision to divorce if that's what she wants .


Nairalanders, apologies for the lengthy epistle and thanks for reading. What is your take on this matter?

Very sad.. felt like I was watching 'banged up abroad' on National geographic channel.

The left hand sleeve in pic 2 is folded half way, unlike pic 1.
The blue shoe on the first pic has a higher sole.
Rihanna is wearing a necklace in pic 1 and none in pic 2.

Booty butt chic: Haa.so sad...op it is well....I rememba I had a friend back dem whose parents were both AS ...and deir first two children,she and her broda weren't SS at all.......dey are so healthy....d parents just stopped at dat point o,no more babies cos d first two were like miracles 2 dem already

Hmm... You know that is not a risk many are willing to take these days. Funny enough the risk of having an SS is just 25% but many would rather not try at all. There are also a couple of medical related remedies here and there for people in my shoes, but for the kind of society we live in...

Kemzie victor: I can imagine how u felt. When a man is ready to settle down and has done everything right n everything starts crumbling all of a sudden.it can b so frustrating n depressing.

What I'll say is:1) if medically it ain't gonna work due to d AS thing,den call it quits. 2)if u both go ahead n wed,heard a cure for sickle cell has been found n I believe in less than 5 to 10 years,it should b in Nigeria. 3 )May God help you in either decision u make above

Thanks Victor, that was a soothing response and I appreciate your comment. Heard there's a cure for it and I'm still gathering information on that development.

Still weighing all my options..

alutacontinua: As per the AS part, u guys have a few options:
Adopt a child
As soon as you get pregnant, get tests done, if it's in d negative, you terminate it! Hopefully, you might get two dt would be fine!

If I were to meet a guy who I love sooooooooooo much, I might not mibd the first option! However, whatever you do, don't bring a child to suffer in this present world!


As per the violence part, don't blame it on your frustrations, violence is violence! It's in you, deal with it! Well, except you can tell me that if you get too frustrated, you'll lat tour hands on your mother and come back to apologize! If the answer to that is 'NO', jut take your blames and deal with your anger issues! Don't blame it on any frustration, she didn't make you 'AS', if you needed to beat someone, you should have slapped yourself!

I sincerely and really hope she doesn't come back, if she were to be my sister, she's never coming back! If you killed her while holding her neck, would you also blame it on frustration?

Yeah I get you.. I definitely need a break as I can now see a problem I didn't know I had somehow. I am much more interested in making up with her than anything else. We can't be best friends for 7 months and suddenly become enemies overnight! She was wonderful and she deserves a whole lot more, so I'd go to any length to make her happy again at the very least. Any decision she takes afterwards will be very fair whether or not she decides to come back..

Chubhie: I totally understand you feel right now bro. Adversity have a way of introducing a man to himself. The sun will always shine regardless of what we do go through in life cos this too shall pass give it to time. Sending you lights and love.

Thanks again bro.. I appreciate your understanding and contribution.

oshyno: Soo bro I suggest u make peace with her 4 laying ur hand on her, then take a walk. A vac or anything to make u 4get her. God wont 4give u for bring a child in the world to make him/her suffer.

Right on point! Making peace with her is my ultimate goal atm..

Hey Chubhie, feels good to know there's someone who has gone through what I'm going through right now. Taking a vac is certainly a viable option. Thanks.

@ sarbest001, thanks a lot for that advice.
