OT2024:
There was bitterness, anger and hatefulness in her tone. I decided not to stay a minute longer in her flat. As soon as I stepped out, she slammed the door at my back.

What an anticlimax! Life could be such a big paradox. The same woman I was kissing and caressing some minutes ago was the one hissing at me and treating me so scornfully.
This was certainly a misadventure, I concluded as I returned to our flat.


On Sunday morning, I decided to do general clean-up of the house, T.K would soon be going to church. He did not like my infrequent attendance of Sunday service, but he had to let me be. I remained indoor till afternoon. About 1.00 p.m. I prepared lunch of rice.

“I’m definitely going miss to you,” T.K said. “All the same, best of luck.”

At two o’clock, I took my bag and left for Ikeja. At Off Toyin Street, Ms. Morgan lived in a three-bedroom apartment. I met Linda there. Minutes later, Linda drove Ms. Morgan and me to the airport. I could see tears in her eyes as she waved bye to Ms. Morgan. The fifty minutes’ flight was smooth. I sat next to Ms. Morgan who was busy reading some documents.

At Abuja airport, we took a cab to the legislative quarters. Ms. Morgan had been allocated a detached three-bedroom bungalow. In the house, she had a maidservant and a cook. Briefly, she explained some working and living schedules to me.

“You would have to manage a room in the back quarter for now,” she said and showed me to the room. It was a neat and standard room with a 4 inches by 6 inches bed, a reading table, a chair and an in-built wardrobe.

I opened my bag and arranged some of the clothes I had brought inside the wardrobe.
Some minutes, the maid came to tell me that madam would like to see me in the main building. I went to see her.

“I hope you’re not bored. I will get a television for your room by tomorrow,” she said as soon as I got inside the large sitting-room.

“Oh, I can always manage to get by.”

She motioned me to one of the exquisite, leather seats in the room. I sat down graciously.

“You can stay around for now to watch the t.v. Do not hesitate to let me know anything you need.”

I nodded. “Alright, madam.”

She soon left the sitting-room. I changed the channel of the television to a news channel. A while later, the maid told me food was ready.

“Will you like to eat it here, or should I take it to your room?”

I thought I needed privacy, so I said she should take the food to my room. I got up and returned to the room.

I followed Ms. Morgan to her office in the official car the following day. Everything still looked like a movie to me. On her instruction, her secretary gave me letter of employment and identity card. She also briefed me about where my office would be and other official matters.

Working for Ms. Morgan was interesting and fruitful. Now, I was closely working with her. The working schedule varied, as sometimes we could be in the office as late at nine in the night. Sometimes, she would we needed to work on Sunday. I must say she was very generous. She was always giving and asking me if there was anything I needed.

Our relationship remained official but cordial.
For now, I was under the payroll of the federal government. Of course, the remuneration was times three of what Ms. Morgan had earlier offered. I never hesitated to thank her for the opportunity she had given me.

No 6, I can relate with that. I remember when I went to write entrance exam in Uniben years back and still came back to Lagos the same day. I got to Lagos around 12 midnight, got to Cele bus stop and everywhere was dark and deserted. I had no choice than to trek the lonely road to Ago Palace. Cele was very rugged that time. Man gat to think smart quick quick. I removed my shirt and placed it on my shoulder and raised on leg of my trousers. I was walking like werey on the road without fear. Some guys even shine torch on my face, saw me and just looked away after seeing my physical appearance. They must have thought I’m homeless. That was how I walked all the way to my house o around 1am for night.

Truth is, UNIBEN enjoys close to 24-hour supply. In Fact, they can go on for 72 hours without the light blinking. Courtesy of the power substation inside the school.
Stores and shops inside UNIBEN are all metered, same with private residential areas like staff Quarters.

The crux of the problem is the Student's hostels. There are more than 11 student hostels in UNIBEN. With a population of more than 7000 occupants. This is where the calculations should start from.

I think most departments should start thinking of how to go off-grid. This will really help.

As a graduating class, we did a Solar project for our department. Solar that can power the HOD's offices and our presentation room courtesy of our Course adviser who sold this brilliant idea to us.

Thou I know departments like Geology have been off the grid. I think they have a massive solar system too.

If other departments can follow suit this will drastically reduce the energy load needed to be supplied.

Way to go.

God Bless UNIBEN
God Bless Edo State
God Bless Nigeria.

All these amount to Nothing if federal Might sets in

Conflicting news reports. Just this morning, Israel was begging and calling on the UN Council to hold an emergency meeting to call Iran to order. Anyway, wetin concern me ...as long as Israel continues her hostility towards the arabs they will continue being targets for destruction to Islam and her people

factwriter:
Even at that, the balls to initiate a "face saving retaliatory attack" (as you themed it) still says a lot about Iran not being a "push over" nation .

Don't forget a handful of Arab states are not really in friendship with Iran. It takes a lots of balls and guts to stand up to both domestic and foreign adversaries.

Lots of balls and guts!

Akwa ibom was created in 1986 and Bayelsa 1996. Bayelsa was created same time as Ekiti and Ebonyi.

Tho I've never been there, but the sexual escapades of their women is really a fantasy.

Tallesty1:
I remember my first visit to Bayelsa. It was one of the states I had in my list, luckily a reason to go there during the election period came. I couldn't get a direct Bus from my place so I took the one going to Rivers. Got to Rivers around 9PM but there was no bus/car that was going to Bayelsa....Why? There was a particular place between Rivers and Bayelsa that thieves operate at that time so the unwritten rule is to wait until they are done before one can make a safe pass; this should be around 12 or 1AM. We waited.

I was the first to jump into the next available Sienna because I was giving my host a sleepless night. One thing I noticed on our way was that there was no single polieman on any of the checkpoints we saw on our way. The driver said that they would return in the morning.

We entered in Bayelsa around 2am, saw some police men and walked up to them, told them my situation and asked if I could stay with them until my host comes to pick me up; it was cool so I stayed with them but I gave them what I thought was a respectful distance since they were men on duty but one of them was like "Yo, if you are going to stay with us then you have to be really close to us; we will not intervene if anything happens to you there. Move when we move and stop when we stop. My first Scare. Nothing else happened and I got to my destination like an hour later. 
When I wanted to move around town the next day, my host told me that it was a bad idea. I insisted and he was like fine, you can go but keep your android phone at home, go out with only the small one. Don't answer calls on the road and make sure you have some money in your pocket. Guys here know new faces and they will come for  you, they will ask for your phone and if it is not an android then you better have some cash on you. 
I was lucky maybe because I didn't experience any of that.

You see that Tombia, it is a den for cultists. They will come out to unleash mayhem and disappear into the creeks. They don't fear soldiers or police, they tax and retax non indigenes that are doing business in Bayelsa and they will hurt you if you resist them.

The women? God damn it. They are not like every other Nigerian girl, they are worse. Many of them are cultists and they give birth anyhow like Akwa Ibom people, they do everything with extra, then there is this peculiar thing about them that I noticed in my second visit because I was freer then and spent more.

They move around in packs in the evening. You will see like 10 of them dressed for you know what, they will be going from one joint to another. They will enter the first joint and maybe nah like 8 or 7 go come, 2 or 3 got lucky. The yet unlucky ones will move to another location and the number will keep dropping until it is down to maybe 2, then the 2 will look for another pack and join.

The men are incredibly lazy, some of them are receiving like three different salaries on a monthly basis yet the only thing they have to show for it is more women, varieties of infections and rotten teeth. They are always having teeth problems. 
The state is no where near what it is supposed to be
