Bliss4Lyfe: In ur example, u gave two different scenario dat played out differently. No need listing UN declarations on Human Rights becos we can all download dem. The point is Nigeria has a right to review the Bakassi issue. The Obong and his people want to be a part of this review process at least for closure sake. GEJ as their elected president owes them that much for the sake of his allegiance to dem and their allegiance as Nigerians.

GEJ administration inaction so far, have been perceived as disloyal and their will be consequence if he does not make a U turn on dis Bakassi issue. Ndiigbo and the south south are watching closely on how he handles dis one. The Ibibios and Efik are no door mat to anyone.

afam4eva: You wan recover stolen laptop for obodo Nigeria? Even ship wey loss dem never see, na laptop dem wan come find. No go buy new laptop lmao

berem: While our president is in New York attending to God knows what,people's houses and belongings are being submerged.what the fucck is happening? Who are the people responsible to take action? Where the hell is NEMA? What is the NASS doing to curb the situation? What a hell of a country!

Demdem: We are talking about events that happened even before OBJ became president in 1999. Akinjide claimed this pact was presented to the ICJ prior 2002. Judgement came that year and Obj foolishly (IMO) decided to proceed with the details of this judgement hurriedly.
Who as this H.O.S prior 1999 that did this?

update few hrs ago 24/09/12
a white lady called few hrs ago saying i should trek against open defeacation in africa and nigeria in particular, her support are financially and all terrain vehicle( but i dont need a vehicle )

i also got a call from ait and nta to enable us schedule interview ( i havent gone that far for interview abeg)

This guy said he was bored today, if and when he starts the journey, the boredom will stop after the first few hours and his reaction will be so predictable. Anyways, if you guys read his further comments, he has already contacted his father and he told him not to, so why elongate this thread. That guy was joking when he posted this. Such efforts come from within and it is usually well thought out. In his case, it is coming from a feeling of boredom which does not happen everyday. Meanwhile @OP, no waka enter market ooo, you may not be accepted by yaba left once you don enter market. In the meantime, I will carry your matter to MFM, that your papa second wife wey dey do you must Die Die die Die Die oooooooo

i got a call from amp energy drink and peak milk


how they got my number is way beyond me, i must have bitten more than i can chew........ have to put off my phone or run away.

sunkoye: its very unfortunate that such exit in the name of Armed/staff personnel .research shows that the level of powers/pity arrogated to the armed personnels encourages their madness on duty. imagine a police officer that believe he/she is above the law and was now allowed to roam the street of lagos free...that spell calamity in full!! The dull reason why many Lagos driver are always eager to absolve them as it’s like a semi ticket to reckless driving and law breaking as well. it is highly immoral to get such gift due to the nature of their job function. This must stop immediately.

tpapi: an kpa mi idem dah mmowo esua mma mi o

duality: say a prayer or get out of this thread. People are praying and others are against it. now every one can see the kind of spirit that operates in some people.its obviously satanic.

Mrs Jonathan You are healed.

Demdem: Waste of time.
The last thing we heard from the Retardeen about her is she has gone to Germany to Rest.
who told u all that she is sick? or are u insinuating that the President lied to us
U all just praying for nothing.

mfolarin: Pictures I took on my last trip to Lokoja last Thursday/Friday....

Lilspicer: Pls those blamin obasanjo shuld shutup the truth it was gowon who signed the agreeement with cameroun to giv the m the border so as to cut food supply to biafran soldiers..get ur fact rite google is ur friend

lozanni: This is why the country needs a credit bureau through which you can ascertain a company or individual debt profile before you decide whether to advance such entity more loan or not.

siddiq202: you are very correct. no any government university do re-sit exams for student except private universities

kandiikane: Ì. Smoked it before to help me revise once and it helped. I remembered everything I read.

I can tell you authoritatively that the soldier escaped from Alausa on Tuesday. I am a witness.
I was in KAI's office at Alausa on Tuesday to bail a friend who was arrested for street trading, while there pandemonium broke loose and everyone was running helter skelter, it was gathered that the soldier arrested at 3rd mainland for traffic offense has scaled through the fence and vanished into thin air all efforts by the mobile policemen within Alausa to apprehend failed. What a shame!!!

Demdem: I don't get it
How do one stabilize from rest?
The retardeen told us she went to Germany to rest. Is he being untruthful again?

flexya: COPIED FROM JOKES SECTION. So all credits 2 the OP

25 Rules of driving in Lagos
1. When in doubt, accelerate!

2. Be prepared to ram into anything stopping you that is wearing uniform in Lagos (police,traffic warden, FRSC, Kai brigade, fire brigade, VIO, LASTMA, LAMATA, LASWA)

3.If you get caught by any chance, do not allow them to enter your car, if they happen to get in do not drive from that spot (veer off traffic & settle promply), and if they don’t agree, pretend that you are calling your uncle who is in the army (believe me it always works), never follow them to any sort of office except you are ready to pay ten times more than what was demanded.

4. Never give police or VIO your original particulars (whether expired or up to date).

5. Danfo drivers believe they are immortal. Never yield to the temptation to teach them otherwise.

6. Okada riders have a pact with suicide, avoid them like a plaque.

7. Avoid BRT buses in all ramifications, they have no brakes.

8. Taxi cabs (oko asewo) should always have the right of way, all of them have been driving in Lagos for 25 years.

9. Never, ever, stop for a pedestrian unless he flings himself under the wheels of your car.

10. The first parking space you see will be the last parking space you see. Grab it. Survival of the fittest you may say!

11. Learn to swerve abruptly. In Lagos, potholes (and sometimes car-holes) are put in key locations to test drivers’ reflexes and shock absorbers,( I saw one man fishing in one of the potholes last week).

12. There is no such thing as “one-way” in Lagos. Expect traffic from any direction at all times. The okada riders are the experts in this area.

13. Never get in the way of a car that needs extensive bodywork, except you want to spend your whole Saturday at the panel beater’s place.

14. Morning rush-hours are equivalent to Lagos grand prix (who gets to the junction first).

15. There is no such thing as a short-cut during rush-hour traffic in Lagos. Everybody might be inclined to take that ’short-cut’.

16. When asking for directions, always ask at least three people. Lagosians always claim to know every inch of the city – even areas they’ve never been to.

17. Use extreme caution when pulling into service lanes. Service lanes are not for breaking down the traffic, but for speeding, especially during rush hour.

18. Never use directional signals, since they only confound and distract other Lagos drivers, who are not used to them.

19. Similarly, never attempt to give hand signals. Lagos drivers, unused to such courtesies, will think you are making obscene gestures to them. This could be very bad for you in Lagos.

20. Hazard lights (popularly called “double pointer”) is not, (as commonly supposed) used to indicate a hazard. It is a warning to you that he is a bonafide Lagos driver, he’s headed ’straight’ and as such, will not stop under any circumstance. Take him extremely seriously especially if he backs it up with a continuous blast from his “horn”.

21. At any given time, do not stand on the zebra crossing expecting traffic to yield to you, or else you will have to explain to the on coming traffic whether you look like a zebra.

22. Speed limits are arbitrary figures posted only to make you feel guilty.

23. Remember that the goal of every driver is to get there first by whatever means necessary.

24. In Lagos every spot is a potential bus stop. FRSC and LASTMA know that too. It is in their constitution.

25. Above all, keep moving. Even with a flat tyre!!!

Toks2008: My Story is no different from other innocent victims.

I pulled over at a designated Bus-top, just to see these men appear from no where with towing vans stating that i parked at a bustop. I argued with them that i did not park because my car side glasses were all down and i just left the car for just 2 minutes but all these fell on deaf hears and they succeeded in towing the car to their office.

I went straight to their head office in Oshodi to file a complaint. The PA to the chairman who is well educated agreed that one can pack at a bustop but should not be more than 5mins.

Did he waive the charges? Hell no but he just reduced the fee and all in all, i ended up spending about 50k for an offence i did not commit shuttling from one bank branch to another trying to pay in these crazy fees into the state Govt account. My friends this is crazy.

Ariyke: u can imagine the kind of live this people are living, my office happen to be near this people's office. They extort money from people in the name of helping them, the money that enters their own pocket is even more than what they generate to the government's pocket.

There are some people among those arrested that will even want to harm themselves in there presence to prove they dont av what they are demanding (mostsly old okada men) bt all they do is laugh @ them infact i cant remember how many times av witnessed such things since they moved there.

Babaelemu: Mr MAN. I don't believe in your write-up. Your just here to tarnish yoruba's image as usual. Get a job and leave with it as least we are progressing and we are proud to be agberos that what makes us to be accommodating. Nothing you can do about it. Its our lifestyle deal with yours "awon omo ole" (barawo)

Wallie: I still find it hard to fathom how so many people die in a single accident in Nigeria! How can 50 people just die like a bomb just went off? I highly suspect that most of the people died due to inadequate first responders and emergency care!

DO people realize that just because someone passed out and momentarily stopped breathing, the person can still be revived? Are accident victims just left at the roadside to eventually die?

I think it should be mandated that all commercial bus drivers and their conductors learn CPR. Sounds like something Fashola can pull off!

2mch: Well, the benefit of LASTMA's presence still outweighs their absence. There is a quite bit more sanity to Lagos. These danfo drivers kill everyday and take off, sometimes without ever being apprehended. I wonder what the hullabaloo is about? At least let a day pass, and let Fashola react before he is condemned. I wonder why people cannot let the law take its normal precedence. Are we saying cops dont kill civilians, even in civilized countries? Fashola is still a don, anytime anyday. Haters can go and gan mo NEPA pole. . So much hate and jealousy for Fash. na wa o. Maybe it is transferred anger from nothing working in their states. Abeg! I actually call for a ban on Danfo's if possible. Let the BRT's and Keke na pep do the job. And if we must have taxi's they have to be heavily regulated and monitored. Their drivers have to be registered, do driving test, and screened for mental illness.
