hilarious!

An armed robber has been arrested after what has been described as one of the politest cases of theft ever caught on camera.Entering a shell petrol station in White center,Seattle,Gregory Hess bought a cup of coffee and then calmly asked the man behind the counter to empty the cash register.            Asking station owner ,John Henry to 'do  him a favour',Hess,65,then said ''can you empty the till 4 me,please?Put it right there'' .Confused,mr Henry asked what Hess meant ,only for the thief to repeat''Put it right there'' adding,''i m robbing you''.          Capturing the exchange on CCTV,Hess can be seen brandishing what appears to be a real handgun.Despite the weapon though,Mr.Henry insists that Hess remained as polite as possible throughout,even apologising profusely as he handed over 300 dollars.           As the robbery continued,Hess can be heard saying,'I m really sorry to do this ,but i ve got kids'.Mr.Henry offered him an alternative,suggesting that he take 40 dollars instead to help him out.The thief declined the offer though,saying,''Well,i cant do that,sir.I ve got rent to pay.i ve got bills,and the kids need to eat''.                        Before leaving,Hess bade farewell with a promise''Thank you very much,i really appreciate it and i am sorry.And if i ever  get back on my feet again,sir,i ll bring it back.''The robbery occured Satuday morning,with Hess being arrested on Monday after the CCTV footage became a you tube hit and helped police  identify him.                   The kings county sheriff office has since confirmed that Hess has a history of  criminal activity having  been convicted of armed robbery in the past.Police said Hess would be charged with one count of armed robbery. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20110209/tod-so-sorry-polite-robber-caught-on-cam-870a197.html

But of course,Dear GEJ,you ascended to the presidency by chance and you have always been an opportunist.Listening to you,a visitor to nigeria would be tempted to think you were a political tout and not the president.'we will not allow rascals to take over the south-west'.the opposition parties are gradually taking over the south-west,and on this basis,you go on to conclude that they are rascals? Contemplative ghosts;unfounded ,reckless and most unpresidential.u and i know that u cant substantiate that deduction,Dear GEJ.  The question is why make them and inauspiciously too!Please mention any PDP governor that has outperfomed  BRF. Talk is cheap,Dear GEJ.Outrageous!and come to think of it,if he is a' rascal' as you suggested,then all political office holders,including yourself, had better be a 'rascal ' so Nigeria can be a better place.U can do better than that,dear GEJ.                         I dare say that rascality is peculiarly,PDP,S and name-calling is not the way to be of use.Give us facts,figures,dates,and sums.useful fighting tools.We would love to have them,Dear GEJ.

Dude runs a government that is shockingly reckless and this shows no sign of abating.Hope the FG's account doesnt go into the red to soon.Of course,the first couple's atrocious english could be forgiven,but not his cluelessness.

@omega25red, thanks a lot.

thanks for your contributions.i didnt mean to confuse people by representing the characters involved,alphabetically.and i hope i did get my story across,succintly.just trying to see if 'C' still stands any chance.

A certain lady meets a certain guy and has a crush on him.She confesses that he is so handsome,any lady would be captivated.Incidentally,she tells him she has strong feelings of deep affection for him but the  problem is she has an original lover whom she has been dating for 2 years and dumping him might not be easy.she tells of the atrocities  her original lover has commited against her and says she will have to decide whether to dump him for the new guy .And ,she goes on to reveal some secrets to the new guy.Then,their relationship was on full swing. Incidentally ,after a few weeks,she informs the new guy ,they might have to discontinue the relationship.she says since her original lover did not offend her per se,there's no point maintaining another relationship although she admits the guy is a belligerent.Devastated,the new guy pleads with her to re-consider her position and she promises to get back to him.but then she continues to inform him about her movements and even sends him 'pls call me, i luv u sms's' and the new guy is not sure what this means .what could she be up to,guys?GUY A tries to convince her to ducidentally,she decides to break the relationship with guy A up.GUY A pleaded with her not to dump him for GUY C .he says could not have loved her genuinely ,while commiting such  atrocities against her.Lady A admits she is in a fix  She continues to send ''call me back.i love u sms's'' to guy C and he is unsure of her intentions.what could she be up to,guys?

During the primaries,the compere announced that a 'BROWN ENVELOPE'(presumably containing the bribe money) belonging to one of the delegates which was lost ,had been found.I this this kinda proves that delegates had their votes bought.

@Celemel,a nigerian university graduate,unable to spell his name?Unbelievable!

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

she reckons her kind of man is one with a good heart and admits ,D BANJ qualifies as one,your guess is as good as mine.Amazingly,she had a child in high school.

dustydee,Gej comes across as too desperate.you will be shocked to hear about the details of his parley with the SNG.Nigeria deserves better than what he offers.We hardly need an Obasanjos puppet as the president.

@1025, I stated in my post that i wasnt a fan of GEJ nor ATIKU.Atiku aint no saint,but he did raise some posers in his speech and GEJ'S response was not convincing,enough.he might have won the primaries convicingly but those questions still beg for answers.Lets face it,GEJ is totally clueless!

Piers Morgan tonight made has just made its debut with Oprah winfrey as his first guest.I particularly like his provocative style of interview which usually brings the best out of his guests and this was no exception. He never takes no for an answer and Oprah,herself remarked that he was very good. He asked oprah a variety of questions ranging from her teenage pregnancy to her love life to her fortune etc. .For those who were opportuned to watch the show,what are your thougts?

Given Nigerias reputation for electoral violence,it is only logical that these kids should remain at home during the voters registration exercise.incidentally,it is in their best interest.

@Beaf. How disrespectful of u?why bother to comment if you dont have anything meaningful to say?whatever happened to decorum.

GEJ became the president by chance,and rather than work to better the lot of Nigerians,he has been busy,''politicking''.

A wounded fox shot its would be killer by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun as the pair scuffled after the man tried to finish the animal off with the butt of the rifle,the media said Thursday.                                     The unnamed hunter,who had approached the fox after wounding it from a distance,was in hospital with a leg wound,while the fox made its escape,media said ,citing prosecutors from the Grodno region.     
       ''The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentaly pulled the trigger with its paw'' one prosecutor was quoted as saying.
         Fox hunting is  popular in the picturesque farming region of Nw Belarus ,which borders Poland. http//:www.uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110113/tod-oukoe-uk-belarus-fox-cb1d00a.html

The pdp presidential primaries was replete with political intrigue and and elegant exhibitionism of glamour and spectacle.But something caught my attention-ATIKUS VERBAL  ASSAULT ON GEJ. As MS SARAH JIBRIL exited the stage,next in line was ATIKU,who swaggered to the centre stage boldly.              After observing all protocols,he rhapsodized his active contribution to the laying of the PDPS foundation and how the party had blossomed nationwide.                               Looking furtively at the direction of GEJ,ATIKU went for the jugular,''For the eight months that he(GEJ) has been the president of this country,What has he achieved ?since he became Nigerias president,we have recorded  unprecedented insecurity, our economy is becoming worse and our foreign reserve is almost gone, ''.incidentally,the camera focused on GEJ and SAMBO who were sitting next to each other.GEJ appeared tensed and confused as a result of  the  verbal tirade which ATIKU unequivocally hurled in their direction.        At some point,Sambo smiled slyly and adjusted his position on the seat ,suggesting that he felt like vanishing from the scene to avoid the continued battery.   
       Then came ATIKU with the clincher''WE cannot allow this inexperience and incompetence to continue''.ATIKUS verbal cudgel had fatally inflicted a psychological injury on GEJ .                                         Obviously bereft of any ideas and unable to receive  any assitance from his wife sitting next to him-the woman who recently informed Nigerians that 'GEJ and SAMBO is a good people.'' he consults with DAVID MARK and  SPEAKER BANKOLE.OBJ was also seen whispering into his ears.      Eventually,GEJ  mounted the stage and he delivered an exceptionally boring and uninspiring.ESSENTIALLY,HE FAILED TO ADDRESS ATIKU'S CONCERNS.i am no fan of ATIKU nor GEJ  .Both ,allegedly,tried to outwit each other  by sharing bribes to delegates ,as a consequence,their credibility has been greatly undermined.                                incidentally,GEJ is intent on taking revenge on any governor who refuses to support his candidacy.I think thats over the bar.Also,the issue of the 50,000 'transport fare' given to the SNG remains unresolved. it does appear'transport fare culture' now operates in ASO ROCK.While Atiku has got the experience,he is too corrupt.GEJ has a calm demeanour,but he comes across as totally clueless.He might have won the primaries convincingly but Nigeria needs much more.As recriminations grow,political spat escalates ,and the war of  attrition continues.We shall have to wait and see.

is the epileptic power supply a laughing matter?the deplorable state of roads?an absolutely clueless leadership?rise in kidnap incidents?relocating of industries to neighbouring countries?an alarming shrink of foreign reserves?harassment of Nigerians at major international airports?a non-peforming political party intent on ruling for 100 years?the 7th largest oil producer in the world continues to import refined oil?,

Being single and also being in the age bracket of (18-30) may be a disadvantage but having a good job should make up for that. just be honest with them.those guys are to good to joke with.they can always figure out your intentions,somehow.my two cents

the current unemployment rate in the US is put at 7.2percent.i would like to know the opinion of nairalanders residing in the USA.how difficult is it ,residing in the US,currently?is the media making a mill of the recession?

strategize,dude

Wishing yall a happy and exceedingly rewarding new year ahead.

This is stale news.it happened a very long time ago.i m absolutely amazed it made the front page

WISHING EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND AN EXCEEDINGLY REWARDING NEW YEAR.

this might be due to a variety of reasons.Incidentally, the female folks are more qualified to speak on this

Wikileaks reported that former us ambassador to nigeria,ms Robin sanders advised GEJ to be his own man.he doesnt seem to have heeded the advice. retrospectively, in the final stages of the yaradua presidency,GEJ allegedly approached ATIKU seeking advice on what to do as Yaradua was critically ill.Atiku also allegedly declined to offer any advice.the fact that he sought his advice means he considers him superior,politically.Incidentally,Atiku is formidable opponent and it will take a miracle for GEJ to win any contest between the two.

how do we substantiate,this,Vp sambo.? Have those funds been used to turn around the country,infrastructurally?if those funds have been well utilized ,shouldnt we have noticed a remarkable change viz a viz the delivery of democracy dividends?

this is truly astonishing.She will most likely buy him a GULFSTREAM BUSINESS JET when he turns 50.

Arguably the worst justice minister nigeria ever had.While in office,he displayed arbitrariness at the hihest level.following the revocation of his visa by the US government,this is the final straw.

The wind of change blows again.This can only happen in nigeria;Somebody occupies a position illegaly for three and a half years and will probably go scot free.Kudos to those judges sha
