how did she scam him here?

He borrowed money to take her to KFC, payed her transport fare and went home empty handed

Why did you call them 'Black' farmers? This are Nigerian hunters in the North speaking Hausa called 'Yan Sarauta'
MOD change the title to 'Hunters or Farmers dig out huge Python'

While people in the North are not too bothered about the Biafra issue, Yorubas have spent so much on fighting it; then they will say Igbos should leave Lagos and go back to the East. You dont want them to have Biafra and you dont want in Lagos. So where do you want them to go?

They are lucky that General burantashi did not pass through that road

And some people will drinking this water without treating it cos they call it natural spring water! Only that environment is enough to contaminate the water sef

My grandparents drank that water all their lives and there was never any outbreak of any disease in the community. That water is far better than the boreholes you have around. Its purely natural quality and as clean as the best treated water. Ask anyone from Ekenobizi in Umuahia Abia State

Dirty water...

Mr Lasisi dem swear for you? How come anything that has Igbo mentioned in it makes you so bitter with bile coming out of your stomach into your mouth?

Thats the best natural water in Abia State. I have tested it as I went there myself and I am yet to drink any water as pure as that. Thanks for sharing.

Nigeria should take Aba serious, there is a lot we can gain from there in terms of technology and innovation if only we can eschew tribal sentiments.
If only Yorubas can combine there computer programing (software) brilliance with Igbos technology (hardware) and eat made in Nigeria food grown by the Hausas (Other tribes are included in WAZOBIA) Nigeria will go places soon.
But every thread here is diverted with tribal abuses instead of celebrating one another.

For me I am following in the footsteps of Ben Murray-Bruce by eating Made in Nigeria Rice.
I have also come to realize that no rice imported from Thailand, Malaysia etc and re-bagged in Nigeria is less than 5 years old be it Stallion or Mama Gold.

What they bring to us here is rice at reduced price taking out of those countries strategic reserves silos.
I just ordered fresh rice from Idah in Kogi state at N3000 per basin because its fresh local rice with all the nutrients intact.

Same reason that Tompolo refused summons by EFCC because according to him if EFCC will not obey court orders, he will also not obey EFCC summons while threatening the FG with shutdown of oil production if any attempt is made to forcefully arrest him.
Soyinka warned that disobedience of court orders is a recipe for anarchy. The issue is not about Mr Kanu but about obedience to constituted authority.

Nigeria lost the opportunity for technological advancement by not exploiting the talents of ex Biafran rebels. Buhari can do a lot by assuring people from the South East and South South that Nigeria belongs to all and not the silence in every critical events like the Biafra agitation and Zaria massacre and wishing it will all just go away.

At the rate Nlers post 'animals killed' many animals will soon go extinct in Nigeria

She-Taxi can work in Sharia states in Northern Nigeria with female drivers on hijab, but with rate at which Boko girls are exploding ladies will be scared of She-Taxis

The budget is still based on Niger Delta Oyel

ebosie11:
The former minister noted that Russia, another major oil-producing state, has not been badly affected by the plummeting crude oil price because the Central Bank of Russia ceased fixing the exchange rate of the country’s currency when it was faced with empirical evidence of the futility of doing such.

Madam, you are comparing Russia to Nigeria, do you you know that Russia is also one of the largest arms and machine exporters in the world while Nigeria is just a major OIL exporter.

AreaFada2:
Look 5 years or so ahead. You must be approaching 28 to 30 now.

Where do you want to be? Starting a family? Cost of living?

Where will your private business thrive in the future?

These are more will help you decide.

Short term, you need good income to save towards your business.

As uncomfortable as parents' house maybe, it's the best place to save money. Short term at least.

Good advise. Abuja is good ONLY if you have a high paying job, because the cost of living is very high in Abuja. I was transferred from Abuja to a State capital and that was when I was able to save some money like you are doing in Lagos now to set up a business in Abuja.
For now you are now spending on rent and thats a good saving because the least rent for a one bedroom flat in Abuja city center or surrounding decent areas if N500K above except if you are living in Masaka or Madala. The propensity to start up a business in Lagos is higher than in Abuja

Nnamdi Kanu made the list because of the idiosy of DSS (Daura Security Service) who arrested him and turned him into a celebrity despite warnings from reasonable Nigerians in the South; who advised them not to fall into the trap of reviving the Biafra issue with his arrest.

Seun even made him more popular by his attempt to ban NLers who mention Biafra. We know that the DSS probably threatened Seun Osewa to remove mentions of Biafra from his blog.

Newspaper and media trial continues. Until we see recovered funds all remains a charade by APC

Tha Nation is APC propaganda media and unreliable on political issues.

A goat? That may be his second wife if he belongs to that religion from Saudi Arabia

anyway here are some tips to help you to become a good parrot keeper.

1. Obtain a proper cage.
Square or rectangular cages are more appropriate for parrots; they feel unsafe in round cages that do not have corners. Ensure your cage is large enough for your parrot to climb and move comfortably in. Cages should have enough room for perches, toys, food bowls, water bowls, and rest areas. Choose the size of your parrot cage based on the size of your parrot:
A minimum of approximately: 24" W x 24" H x 24" D for smaller parrots
A minimum of approximately 5 ft W x 6 ft H x 3½ ft D for larger parrots
Bar spacing: 1/2" for smaller parrots
Bar spacing: 4" for larger parrots

2. Place the cage in a room where he can interact.
Parrots are social creatures. In the wild, they stay with a flock and maintain constant contact with flock mates. If they are kept isolated they may develop separation anxiety. Parrots like being in rooms where their human flock hangs out.
If you have other pets, you will want to keep your bird cage in a room that can be closed off while you are gone from the house. Be sure that you supervise your other pets around the bird, and keep them out of the room if they are causing stress to the bird.

3 Keep temperatures steady.
Birds can tolerate a large range of temperature, but the ideal temperature for your parrot is between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid leaving your parrot in a chilly room or dropping your thermostat overnight during winter. Temperatures below 40 degrees can be dangerous for birds, especially thin ones. Plumper birds can develop heat stress to temperatures above 85 degrees. If you must keep your parrot in higher temperatures, be sure that there is plenty of air circulation.

Part 2: Feeding Your Parrot
1 Vary your parrot's diet. Parrots need a varied diet with a broad range of nutritional value. They should ideally not be kept on a diet of seeds and pellets only, though the bird seed and pellet mixes at pet stores are good to use as the base for their diet. Here are some basics for supplementing the seed or pellet mixtures:
- Do feed fresh fruits and vegetables. Rinse them well just like you would if you were preparing them for people. Many parrots like grapes, bananas, apples, carrots, berries, greens, all varieties of cooked squash, peas, green beans, and more. Be sure to not overdo it on fruit because of sugar content.
- Some types of parrots, such as macaws, love to open the shells of nuts to get the meat out. Try giving your parrot pistachios, pecans, and macadamias.
- Do not feed parrots caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, sugary or salty snacks, greasy foods, raw or dry beans, rhubarb leaves, dill, cabbage, asparagus, eggplant or honey.
- Never give a parrot avocado or onions! Both are toxic to parrots. Avocado can cause immediate cardiac arrest and death in a parrot.[4]
- Feed the right amounts. Small and medium sized birds should have food and water containers that are at least 20 ounces. Large birds should have food and water containers that are at least 30 ounces. Weaned babies and small birds will need extra amounts of food because of their higher metabolisms and levels of activity.

- Have a container for water that’s large enough for your bird to bathe in. Birds will drink out of the same water they bathe in, and this is okay. Be sure not to put vitamin supplements in water even if the guidelines say to do this. The reasons are because birds don’t drink that much, so you don’t know how much they are getting, and because it can cause bacteria to form quickly in the water.[6]

Avoid cooking with non-stick pans and utensils. This is especially true if you keep your parrot in or near the kitchen. The chemicals used in non-stick cookware can be deadly to parrots when heated above a certain temperature.
Second hand smoke is also very bad for parrots, just like it is for humans. Avoid smoking in the house if you smoke and have a parrot.

Part 3: Keeping Your Parrot Healthy
1 Tend to the cage bottom every two days.
2 Clean and change the food and water bowls every day. Remove the food and water bowls daily, clean them and replace them with fresh food and water.
Remove foods that rot quickly, such as cooked beans, immediately after feeding. Parrots can be especially prone to infections from bacteria, so keeping the cage clean is an absolute necessity
Be sure to use a bird-safe disinfectant for cleaning the cage weekly - these can be found at your local pet store. Regular human disinfectants can be too strong and can harm your bird.
3 Visit the vet on a regular schedule. Some parrots are completely healthy forever, however most of the time when your parrot encounters a health problem, it could have been solved with some preventative vet consultations. Make sure your veterinarian is one that sees birds specifically
4 Watch for health problems. A healthy parrot is alert to his surroundings, stays upright most of the time, and is active. If your parrot starts acting sick, see a veterinarian. Some signs of a sick parrot include:
Deformed, receding, or ulcerated beak
Difficulty breathing
Stains around the eyes or nostrils
Change in appearance or texture of stools
Weight loss or loss of appetite
Swollen eyes or eyelids
Feather problems including chewing, plucking, or thinning
Bowed head, lethargy, being overly quiet

Part 4: Training and Socializing Your Parrot
1 Learn to approach the cage properly. In the beginning, approach your parrot’s cage slowly and without making any loud noises. You may also want to avoid eye contact in the beginning for a fearful bird, so he doesn’t feel singled out by a predator. If you find the parrot trying to bite you, thrashing around the cage, or making other drastic displays of discomfort to your presence, you’ll need to get him accustomed to you:
Go back out of the room and out of sight. Start walking back in, and at the moment of the discomfort response, stop and stay where you are. Do not approach further and wait for him to calm down. Then begin walking closer. If he acts up again, stop and stay still until he calms down. You may need to do this frequently until you can get close to the cage.

Determine treats for your parrot. Training your parrot is a must for giving him the socialization he needs. To determine what foods are his favorite treats, try giving him a variety of nuts, fresh and dried fruits, and seeds. A new parrot may be unaccustomed to some of these foods, so give him a few days to determine which ones are favorites. Once you figure out a favorite, don’t serve it as part of daily meals and save it for training.

Use target training to get your parrot to come out of and return to the cage. The first step of target training is getting the parrot to eat treats from your hand. This may take a few seconds to a few weeks. Simply go to the side of the cage and have a treat in your hand. Wait for the parrot to come over and eat it.
Once your parrot is comfortable eating treats from your hand, introduce the clicker. Begin clicking the clicker right before offering a treat from your hand. Do this every time, so that it becomes used to hearing the click before eating a treat.
Use a target stick (chopstick or dowel) to get your parrot to move to certain areas of the cage. Begin by introducing the stick, allowing the parrot to move close to it, and deliver a click and a treat. Train the parrot to move toward the stick each time by delivering the click and the treat. If he becomes uninterested in the stick, he may be full and you should wait a while until he becomes hungrier to resume training.[11]
Use the target stick to teach your parrot to step up onto your hand or a handheld perch. Eventually you should be able to bring your parrot out of the cage to continue training and/or clean the cage.
Keep all of your training sessions short (about 10 to 15 minutes each time) and only try to train once or twice a day.

Tame your parrot to allow you to pet him. Many parrots enjoy being pet and touched. The first place to start is with his beak. Once he is comfortable having your hand near his beak without trying to bite, you’ll know he is comfortable with you touching him. Bring your hand slowly near his beak. If he looks like he’s going to try to bite, stop immediately. Hold your hand still until he calms down. When you get your hand close to his beak without him trying to bite, take your hand away and give a treat.
Do the same steps with touching his body. Move your hand toward his body slowly. If he seems irritated, stop and wait. Work up to being allowed to pet him. Once you’re able to pet him, give a treat.

Talk to your parrot. Some parrots are better “talkers” than others, but all parrots have the anatomical capability to mimic human speech. Regardless of how well your parrot learns to repeat you, talking to him is an important part of his emotional health, so be sure to talk to him often.
Name certain things to him: when giving him certain types of food, you can say, “apple,” or “banana.”
Associate certain words with your actions. When you walk into the room, say "Hello, Alex" (or whatever your name is) or "Good morning!" When you leave a room, say “Good-bye!” or “Good night.”
Your parrot will also enjoy hearing you have a conversation (even if it’s with him and is mostly one-sided), hearing you sing, listening to the television while you watch it, or listening to music.
Some parrots pick up many phrases, so be careful of cursing or yelling around him unless you want him to repeat unsavory language.[14]

Choose good toys for your parrot. Toys provide mental stimulation and relief from boredom. You should offer toys that have a variety of textures, colors, and sounds. It’s a good idea to rotate the toys weekly so your parrot doesn’t get bored of the same toys day in and day out. Here are some more things to keep in mind about parrot toys:
Choose small, lightweight toys and mirrors for small birds.
Larger birds like to manipulate thicker toy pieces with their beaks, tongues and feet.
Birds love to chew. It is part of their natural behavior to tear things apart. Be sure to check the toys regularly for damage, and throw them away if they are cracked or could break into small pieces that could injure your parrot.

Learn parrot body language. In general, a parrot with an upright stance and smoothed feathers is wary or frightened. Loose, slightly ruffled feathers indicate happiness. A bird sitting on one foot with puffed out feathers may not feel well. All feathers sticking as far out as possible usually mean he’s courting or getting ready to fight. Stretching out one wing and then the other, or a slight tail feather wagging, means he’s feeling happy and healthy. Some happy birds even wiggle their tongues or move their beaks up and down when they see something they like
