Flets:
Behind your statement lies the political interest that Bokoharam serves. It now serves as your yardstick to benchmark maximum extent of agitations even when they do not belong to same pedestal. You have just supported terrorism and loss of human lives.

My brother you go school, I am sure the terrorist did not understand a word u just said.

That woman is not lieing, I have found shaki (towel, animal stomach wall) inside 5alive in 2009. I took tetecyline to help myself that day

Say no to Red meat

I have wanted to keep quite about my experience since, as it has be over a month now but because I read some one (Tonso) story who boldly narrated about it, I decided to narrate mine to prevent further occurrences.
I am a freelance civil engineer who execute most of my jobs in the rural areas of Rivers state so it was not alien when I got a call from one of the labourers that work with me in a project I did sometime in 2013, that one Honourable wants me to come and see his architectural design for his house he wants to build. He said the Honourable asked people who did the building which I did in 2013 and he told his boy he could contact me. He then gave me a number which belong to one Mr. Ogbonnaya. The next day I called the Ogbonnaya man and he said I was lucky, that the Honourable is going to leave for Abuja the next day and there is no telling when he will be back. He said I need to make it today so he could show me the architectural drawing and interview me to know I am who I claim to be. My dear reader, at that moment I had not gotten any job for 4months so you can imagine my enthusiasm. He said that he will meet me at Igwurita Roundabout and he can take me to meet the Honourable in his place in Etche. I drove my car down to the roundabout and called him at about 11am, he said he was on his way. I waited there till 12:30pm and called again, this time he was apologetic and told me he forgotten about me, that the Honourable needed his attention, that I should drive down to igbodo junction in Etche that the Honourable's house is very close to the junction and he will send his boys to bring me if he was not still free. At this moment I was mad at the same time very desperate and stoopid. I drove almost 30mins to the place and called him again. He said I should wait that his boys are coming. I then waited till 3pm, I called him and he didnt pick, I got angry and was about to go when he called me around 3:15pm and said "are the on that drove that ...... car", I said yes, he then told me that they passed with a hilux and they are going for inspection not far from me, that I should come to the Amechi Secondary School at Igbodo, that they are doing an inspection on that work too, I said to my self "hmm this guy is connected" meanwhile I did not see any hilux pass me. I then drove down to th school, I saw a white hilux packed with a guy wearing face cap calling me to come in knowing the type of my car. As I drove in the guy started working to the hilux, I was blowing my horn so he could come and talk to me so I can be sure I am I the right place, before I could say jack two guys with pump action guns from the hilux told me to come down. I asked them what I had done. They said "you come find our boss abi, today you go see am and by the time we are through with u, u go see baba God" at that moment I thought they were ritualist and I started chanting the Lords prayer. They gaged my mouth and blind folded me. Note the school is a standard boarding secondary built by the formal Government of Rivers State Hon. Amechi, that school is completed but have never been occupied, bushes everywhere. Back to the matter. We moved Through the Bush till they brought me to a gutter close to the fence on the left hand of the school and told me to lay there, they collected my phones, watch and belt. At this moment I was almost dead, my heart beating out of my chest. It was like someone in a plane and the pilot announces " Mayday Mayday we have lost the last engine and we are going nose down". It was then I noticed I was not alone in the gutter, a strange kind of relieve overwhelmed me. We were all there till 1 to 2 am in the morning. When they moved us through a hole in the wall. ThenI remember the program I watch on cable TV, " show me th hole in the wall" we moved Tru the Bush around in circles to confuse us because we were blindfolded, but I knew we where in a radius of less than 100m. Then we came to the main road and we were taken a way in car. That was when I knew we where 3 persons. I was put in the front with one napper (kidnapper) and the other two were in the back with two other nappers. Our head were put down, they drove recklessly in circles again till we move from the tared Road to untared then the worst happened. One of the men or boys behind removed his blind fold, head butted the napper and tried to open the door, the drive stopped the car, everyone rushed out, I could not do anything Cux my hands was tired behind me. The next thing I heard was "please forgive me" Dnt shot" "I am sorry" forgive him" "kpor" 3times then loud cry followed with loud sound of slap then quietness, OH my God I pissed my pants immediately, me and the other guy who was sobbing vehemently were lead into the Bush by the nappers for at least 40 mins if I am not over estimating. Then we were asked to sit on the floor that was when I knew we were going to sleep in the bush. At this moment I have switched to survival mode, I could take any pain an torture not to be on the other guys shoes. I kept quite, when my blind fold I going off, I will call there attention to tight it well. Then around 4:30am the so called. Ogbonnaya came to address us. He said welcome to Somalia. Here you can give us money or we use you for money, either way u are worth money he said. He said " the bidding price for you life start at 50 million naira. We begged him that if he knew us he won't ask for million self. After much begging and bidding we ended at 5million each. They collected my Dad's number told him the situation, he told then it's late, that they should call tomorrow. I was shocked. That was how we stayed till the next day. To cut the story short, I was there for 5day, without food, water was given to me on the 4day, my hands was tired at my back for 3days an nights till, one of them had mercy because of the way I gave them no trouble except for the stench o my urine. He brought hands to the front, while the other guy begged but received no mercy. I felt for him, I never knew him but were ever he is, he is strong. I was released after 5day when my parents borrowed and raised 3million. The other boy was released before me and paid the whole 5million 2.5million each, the family never knew one was dead, they put there gun on his legs when he want to talk to his family, same was done to me. If u para Yan like day will say, u go swallow bullet. My car was given to me, but other valuables was taken. One of which is my BB which I believe some is using, so please anyone have ideas there?
This is my littler story, I just pray for the sometimes, because their end is not always funny.
