Politics / Re: Monarch: How Militants Linked To Soldiers’ Killing Chased Me Out Of My Kingdom by Henrypraise: 7:01pm On Mar 24
DevilsEqual:
sad

I don't know what people enjoy from causing unrest

I hope the militants get fished out and dealt with

Why would u kill a soldier on a peace mission?
Anyone who thinks this is a flex is very sick


The soldiers, were not on a peace mission, they were sent there by a militant leader who somehow could command them.

I am sure the military is unraveling alot hence they are still there in the village. The killings were done at Okuama, why will the military be burning and killing at igbomorotu? The urhobos don't kill and behead. It's the ijaws and militants who kill and behead...

The truth of what happened in Okuama will come out one day...

This deposed king has not said the entire truth, somehow he hopes to gain after all these unrest.

That would be Ewedu.. (No disrespect to my SW brothers and sisters)

My ex so over hyped it any time we talk on the phone... So, I decided to try it out. She invited me to their house so I can confirm the hype.

Her mom has already prepared it before my coming, so it was straight to the dinning table.

Amala was very smooth, as it slides it's way down my throat, but the soup, just didn't see the hype. Na the many meat wey surround the soup I just deal with.

But their “Ewa Goyin” is world class and deserves all the hype

I would have agreed ewedu is over hyped, maybe in looks, but if you struggle with ulcer and big Tommy, you will understand why people love ewedu. After eating ewedu, my stomach feels very suiting at the areas where I get ulcer pains...

People who plait and cut their children hair will see this and also condemn it.

Did their children request for their hair to be plaited or cut? In as much as the parents are convinced the steps they are taking is to equip and protect their children for the better world then its fine. However the process should be with clean equipments.

Some parents rub bleaching creams on their children, yet it's seen as civilization.

Romance / Re: Four Weird Things I Find Very Attractive On A Lady. The Fourth One Is Strange. by Henrypraise: 1:47pm On Sep 28, 2023
Toks2008:
I don't know if this is normal but I find these four things very attractive on a lady and the fourth one is really very weird.

1. Extra small Nose Stud: Personally I find most nose studs or rings very unattractive but there is something very classy about a lady rocking a pin head extra small nose stud on one side of her nose . Unlike the big nose studs, this one looks very decent and classy.

2. . Leg Chain: I'm a lover of beautiful legs and a lady rocking leg chain on a beautiful leg gives the leg an extra beauty regardless of the skin colour.

3. Waist Chain: I am not really a lover of waist beads because it gives that eerie vibe but waist chains are in a whole different class. Waist chain unlike beads give a very classy and more beautiful look especially the dangling loosed types and it is even more beautiful when a lady puts two different colours.

4. Pierced Tongue : This fifth one is weird but the odogwus will understand wettin dey if a lady with pierced tongue use it to chew their sugar cane. Amazingly, whenever I see a lady with pierced tongue, I fight so hard not to get attracted to them cos of the bad girl vibe they give

So as a guy, what are those weird things you find very attractive on a lady?

There is nothing attractive about these things, your mind has been wired to think a woman putting on these things has some mystery about her, maybe seexual prowess, maybe confidence or some kind of feminine ruthlessness.

It's those traits you are attracted to and your mind is tricking you to believe a woman who wears these ornaments, possess these abilities.

These ornaments truly stir desires and were part of ancient practice by housewifes to stimulate interest of their husband's to keep the matrimonial bed shaking... Soon ancient oloshos copied the scheme to scam men and remind them of what their wives used in stimulating their interest, when pious wives learnt their husband's were now glued to these ornaments, they stopped using them, and devised the mystery of being quiet... The amount of mystery that loomed from being quiet wives was so huge, that men whose wives became very quiet had to begin using all manners of tactics to please them to speak or be expressive. You will bear me witness that many posh oloshos and escorts now uses this mystery of quietness, it adds some kind of elegance to the mystery, you ask what is wrong and she says nothing with a smiling face, you begin to impress by spending... till your eyes gets open that she is working on your mind...

Point is, your mind is attracted to the mysterious woman, and not those ornaments...

You expect anyone to speak with courtesy to "ragtag looking armed officials", with no name tags, flagging you down at a checkpoint that their IG has banned every week for the last 10 years? To do a "survey", in the middle of the day, in the middle of the road?

How does any action described make sense that anyone will talk to them with sense


Aside them dressing shabbily, I see nothing wrong in them carrying out a survey at the location they were.

I honestly like how you think, you are very logical, and because of this, I will be glad to purchase the police recruitment form for you, so you can go in there to be a reformer... Nigeria need men like you in the NPF

Social media especially Twitter is building a monster in Nigerians.

Being cantankerous is self destruct. And it is built sub consciously over time by what people read, watch, listen to, exposed to, and the type of companies one has.

Nigerians especially youths are loosing it. I took a Uber one day and this particular roundabout was a messy build-up of vehicles. One of the police had passed us befor th roundabout but on getting to the main spot of the build up, the other policeman waved us down.

As a reasonable driver, you are even supposed to wait before being waved down by that policeman who was not taking bribes but doing his work diligently.

I swear this young Uber driver changed it for the policeman. Started troubles and was abusing the policeman of being ineptitude. The police was angry and was planning to delay us but for my interventions

We have a long way to go with the type of people we are raising in this country.

This just goes to buttress the point of the Bishop who said those in position of powers are same badly bred Nigerians, my problem is that the ill attitude is somehow corrupting the best amongst us.

So you met a policeman who spoke calmly and, maybe 3 passengers who replied roughly and all of a sudden, they are nice and angels from heaven?

What about the number of times Nigerians were calm and cooperative and policemen refused to do otherwise? What about the times Nigerians were stereotyped just for their hairstyle and for having beards?

I was in a Keke few Sundays back and a young guy was asked to alight... Asked where he was heading to for him to dress that way (he wore senator with palm o)... Asked to empty his bag, empty his pocket and open his phone. He asked them to empty his bag themselves in the glare of everyone that he doesn't want accidental discharge say them think say him wan comot gun or any other frivolous reasons... Refused to open his phone asking why they wanted to check it

The boss in the police van had to wave to the subordinates to allow him go, seeing that we in the Keke refused to leave the guy and zoom off as requested

This is what happens CONSTANTLY and just because you met a policeman who spoke calmly, you're now trying to twist the narrative... E be like say you no well abi? (No insults intended)

You are sounding frustrated mate... Easy on yourself...
Crime / My Experience With The Nigeria Police Force Today. by Henrypraise: 12:20am On Sep 27, 2023
When a catholic bishop said the judges of the Supreme court are not from Singapore but scions of same badly bred Nigerians, some persons nodded in unionism because their ox was in the fight, not really because we hoped to do better or adapt to cause change.

Once same Nigerians are opporturned to stand in the podium of power to make decisions, the wrong choices are always made.

Today, I was in a shuttle on my way to koka coming from Asaba Airport, as we approached Mariam Babangida junction, some rag tag looking group of government armed men flagged us, I quickly scanned for badges, squad title and possible name/ number tags, the only remarkable identity I saw was anti cult vest donned by a gun wielding, young "officer".

While I was doing my mental scan, I became at ease when he spoke calmly and explained they are on a survey mission and if the shuttle driver wouldn't mind, he should pack and stop for a few survey questions. Immediately this "officer" spoke calmly, the guys inside the shuttle with me raised their voices and became instantly rebellious, I reclused myself mentally from the revolt and watched the psychological defeat of Nigerians who everyday cry for better synergy and treatment between civil and forced individuals...

I bet if the "officer" had spoken in the normal NPF fashion, no one would have been motivated to say pim. The best would have been to murmur and curse under one's breath...

It was when the shuttle developed fault just a few meters away that I knew all the talk of "I am late for work" bla bla bla were just shalaye and yen yen yen put together, people who were in a hurry couldn't come down to board another shuttle for 100 naira... Everyone including yours sincerely had to wait for the driver to trouble shoot.

So in a nutshell, do you think Nigerians
will be more responsible and cooperative when talked to with respect and courtesy Or rebellion will increase

I don't think that guys comment was really about the cost of the footware, it should be more about the cleanliness of the footware, how it is donned, the fitting and how the wearers feet looks.

For me feet and fingers tell a lot about an individual.

Whatsapp status upload and social media comments also give important clues.

In this Era of chatting, how a person types, also give out clues, do they type in abbreviations? (I can never hold on to the words of someone who types in abbreviations). Do they type with lots of errors? (Errors now is not sentence errors, but spelling errors)... sentence error can mean interference of first language (I enjoy typing in pidgin), but you see spelling errors, it's lack of knowledge, especially when coming from an individual who acts all posh...

Then lastly, someone who makes sly comments, especially during jokes, is a big indication of a narcissistic... the antidote? I hold up a mirror and reflect your sly jokes back at you... It's the best way to get them to stop...

Family / Re: Should I Call Off My New Relationship Because Of This?? by Henrypraise: 11:32pm On Sep 14, 2023
UnconventionalT:
Copied smiley

"I am a Nigerian student living in Scotland, A Nigerian Christian guy got in touch with me via WhatsApp and asked for a relationship, saying he got my number off a church whatsapp group that I haven't been to for almost a year now. He said he's prayed about me and God has told him we are good to go. He is a student too.
I was single at the time and haven't been with a Christian brother before, so I decided to give it a chance. It's roughly 2 months and I am at the point where I want to quit.

We got talking on the platform and also through calls, about a week into our relationship/talking stage he asked me to come to his place and cook for him so he can have enough food for the coming week. I was surprised because we hadn't even seen each other at that at time. I told him I cannot, he made a big deal out of it and said stuff like it's not a big deal for me to do that as his wife to be. We got over that and arranged to see for the first time, he suggested my house and I said I don't feel comfortable with either of us seeing for the first time in our houses and we finally concluded on a Bugger King outlet which isn't far from my house. This didn't go well with him tho.

We met for the first time and talked, after that he said he wanted to know my place as it isn't far from Burger King. He came to my place and stayed in my bed till around past 10pm, he tried touching and kissing, I told him I wasn't comfortable and he needed to leave because of time. He got annoyed said his intentions was to stay over at my place, he already told his housemate he isn't coming back home and it's so late now to go back. I told him I cannot allow him sleep at my house for the first time we're meeting, I have a small single bed and you intentionally didn't even say you'd sleep over before. He grudgingly left and dropped 3 packs of youghurt and a bag of unfried chips which I later discovered where all expired at the time he dropped them.

I told him about it and he made a mess out of the situation. He attends a pentecostal church and critisizes other churches, he doesn't really believe in adult taking responsibility for their actions as the devil is most likely responsible for everything, we simply have to pray against the devil.
He's asked for sex multiple times in less than 1 month, I stopped talking to him one time for about 2 weeks and we picked up again. He said he doesn't have to penetrate, we can do every other things to satisfy our flesh. He said doing all that with him is the proof of my love for him which I have strongly disagreed. Sex isn't a prove of love, we are adults and can have protected sex with anyone without loving them.
The only single thing I enjoy about him is that we communicate well, he talks a lot too and that makes our communication half argument, he finds fault in any little thing and blows it out of proportion. I have told him I don't have strength for argument in marriage since we won't be arguing over minute things that get him pissed off now.

Both of us have been getting multiple 12 hours night shifts from work and two nights ago, he asked me what he was going to eat when he gets home the following morning, I knew he was up to something. I told him I can't say, we don't live together and I don't know what you currently have at home. I suggested he buys bread on his way back home. He then asked me to cook for him to eat the following morning, I sincerely let him know I have no soup or stew myself. His response changed and he later called me on same subject, citing how I don't care enough about him to be concerned about how he is gonna eat since he's been working few nights now, he compared himself to a married man that always brings food to work at his workplace. Even gave the guy his phone to talk to me, that one too said I should do things in my power to make my man happy.

I tried to make him understand he isn't married and it might be difficult to enjoy what his married frnd is enjoying. Youve never bought me foodstuff, you haven't worked before and sent me 50 pounds or less for groceries, we are both working night shifts and I sort my own food, why are you angry I can't make out time out of my rest period to come cook at your house to stuck your fridge?

I have been in relationship where I cooked, I personally enjoy cooking, but I have never been with a man that feels to entitled to me doing that for him. He says I'm supposed to be the one cooking for him. He also believes in women abroad sharing bills, but he is too traditional to share house chores"


One of the saddest misconceptions plaguing ladies of marriageable age their own actions of holding back, if a you are being asked or dating a man above 30 and you feel cooking for him is you granting him spousal privileges, then aunty by all means stay on your own.

These same privileges you granted men who pillaged you for free with no intentions... And here you see a man saying it as he wants it and you are raising demonic standards against him.

See, leave him and let him go search for a lady to offer him "spousal" benefits in relationships, you too should go look for a man who will love you for not giving him spousal benefits until after marriage... Life is not so hard... Or do you have virginity to give to him in marriage

Cooking and being caring towards your man is not what should be requested, it's not spousal benefit, how does he get to know the stuff you are made inside if he doesn't see these aspects? You waste countless number of hours talking irrelevant things and avoid actually acting relevant things...

You guys should separate... Leave the demonic pentecostal brother and find a holy catholic or Anglican ex seminarian... Both of you should be serving each other holy communion and bible verses...

@Raydos, this is what I was trying to talk about in your thread. Every talk or argument about Nigerians is about money, more money, more more money and it ends with money.
Nobody seems to give a damn about any other thing apart from the money they make.
This thread will degenerate into an argument on who makes more money, the stage is set. This is all we care about as a people.

No one talks about security, values, respect, serenity, easy flow, fresh air, calm, someone just want to be in his barbed wired house, with generator on, a church or mosque blasting so much noise daily. Or better, they want to be in one of those prisons called estates in lekki where you have to go through many protocols to gain access... Then they watch those who can't afford it and feel fulfilled....

It started last two Sunday at the children's department. They were taught covering of the body as a child of God and ever since that day, my son has not remain the same again on his way of reasoning. My husband n I was all joking about it but it's getting out of hand the way my son is going about it

What he does now is he doesn't allow us especially me to wear skimpy wear at home anymore.whenever I put it on he will be shouting mummy cover your "private part" even my last baby that's not up to 2 was playing with the sleeveless top she was wearing the chest was showing immediately my son started shouting baby cover your private part. The private part he use to shout instead of another word cover your body provoked me to flog him to stop using that word cos he's just 4.

The incident that happened yesterday made us speechless was my family n I went to have a nice time because since that last two Sunday my son haven't stepped out of the house. We decided to have fun yesterday only for my son to screaming mummy see this one she or he is showing there private part. It brought alot of attention to us that we quickly ended what we came out to do.

How do I handle this issue to clear it off his head cos I have spoken n spanked him to stop but this is what he refused to stop saying n is embarrassing. Of all they where thought in Sunday school, why did he chose this one to practically implement?

Its you who needed that scolding not your son,the boy has learnt what really is true, but because you prefer to stick to immodest dressings and the world around seems to be haywire, you want your son to be a conformist, whereas his path is to be a reformer...

It's your choice to be modest or immodest, don't change his destiny because you want to expose your flesh... allow his reformer zest build up inside him, don't infuse your own thought into him...

Every of our AI and technology are all about money collection and transfers. Why are there no developments in farming and food technology? Nothing in medical sciences and Electricity generation.

We should concentrate less on singing and dancing to solving our existential problems.

Ai and technology can't be deplored to farm lands that are constantly under terrorist attack, recently we have added perennial floodings to our list of problems, Ai and technology needs a favourable atmosphere to germinate on, just as peace is the prerequisite for luring foreign investors, political will by leaders to upturn the status quo is what is mostly needed before A.I and technology can come in.

What will be your reaction if someone gives your sister such conditions?

As proud as he sounds, that's the taught process of many Nigerian females, just because a man is saying it out loud is the reason you are bringing his sister's into it. I am sure his sisters are not single mothers also. Single mother's made choices just as everyone of us and we must continually live with the consequences of our choices...

The single mom has a choice to make... I am sure she also have a guy down her street asking her out but he probably is a bolt driver, and she will weigh her choices and make a decision base on what suits her present and her future. .

See as people dey dish advise anyhow while some are already abusing the girl. Anyway, I blame the OP for not including the information about the wife's siblings' ages in his original post. THEY ARE ALL CHILDREN for God's sake, the oldest is 17 yrs according to him, so leaving them behind or asking that they should work is ridiculous. It is definitely a sad and tough situation; no responsible elder sister would want to leave her underaged siblings out there on their own.

Nigeria is already in a tough situation, men are saddled with so much responsibility within a terrible economy and the loyalty of women is not guaranteed, don't blame people talking harshly it's the economic reality.

However with proper planning he can make them useful, open up a laundry shop and let the elder ones work in it whilst the younger ones go to school from the proceeds of all their combined earnings. He can be going out for his daily hustles and gradually he could build something good in and out of the whole situation...

I have a 7 months old daughter her mother is an orphan, she is the eldest of 7.

We broke up when she was pregnant because we had a disagreement about her siblings living arrangements.

She wanted her 4 sisters to stay with us after the wedding and I only two of them to stay with us. The problem is seeing my daughter growing in a bad environment away from me makes me feel so bad.

Whenever I visit her I feel so bad leaving her behind that I don't sleep well thinking about her all night.

I also doesn't like the idea of having kids with different mothers.

For my daughter's sake I want to get back with her mother for us to raise her together in the same house. But getting back with her means that I should also allow her 4 siblings to stay with us after the wedding.

I am doing this for my daughter's sake but I don't know if I am making a wise decision.

What do you guys think should I get back with her or forget about her and concentrate only on my daughter.

Please help

What are the ages of the siblings?
What promises did you make to her when you were gisting her? Reflect on those promises and act accordingly.

Although she is being manipulative and she is currently on self destruct mode just to punish you, but I am sure it's based off the promises you made to her and the expectations you created in her.

This man has lived over 20yrs in US, although he comes to Nigeria Occasionally but never built even a room for himself. According to him whenever he send money for a project, the relative squander and steal it, thinking he has lots of money in the US. That’s the reason he had disagreements with most of his relatives, they are not even in talking terms with some. That’s what he told my friend, his wife.

He only managed to buy a bungalow when she came into his life, and that was partly her contribution as well, though majority of the fund came from him. What makes you think a man will write his name and wife’s name on the property if she has no input?.

Manipulation is one reason why a man will write a woman's name on a property.

The man who couldn't get a property in over 20 years only managed to get one in Nigeria in less than 7 months after your friend came into his life, that's nice, I guess your friend must have properties littered everywhere in Nigeria to herself...

All I see is a gold digging, entitled woman trying to cash out, while you are probably the side meat wishing to take it all...

Career / Re: Just Fired. How Do I Cope With The Emotional Trauma? by Henrypraise: 2:28pm On Jun 24, 2022
MsJackson:
Hello my uncles and aunts.

I'll make this as brief as possible. I teach in a school where the owner uses his father's compound, back flats. His family lives in front apartment.

Some months ago, last year precisely, i had an issue with his sister, last born, and i decided to avoid her totally to prevent future occurrence. I face my job and do it well.

We the teachers observe that the family always call their son to report any issue, especially if we faltered in some cases. It was getting too much.

So on that day, exactly two weeks ago, we were asked to oversee the students sporting activities, done in front of the school compound. I was walking out with my colleague and we were discussing something we both saw on social media, about gistlover. The sister overheard it and believed we were talking about her, calling her gistlover.

She walked up to me and confronted me in a harsh manner. I tried explaining to her that we weren't referring to her, but she wouldn't listen and before you know it, we were exchanging words. I said a lot because I was angry that she singled me out to confront, when we were two discussing the issue.

She was telling me to get out and i was sooo angry that I used the f word on her. Later, her parents came back and she reported me to them. Without calling to hear my side of the story, they both told their son to send me away. The mother even said that wherever she saw me, she would strip me naked. Their son my boss came, me and my colleague were called to say what happened,we did, then my boss told me to go home and stay put for a while.

After a week,he called and told me my services were no longer needed, that he made his own private investigation from the students and they confirmed I used the f word on his sister. I am not innocent. I admitted my fault, but he refused to temper justice with mercy. He promised to pay me for this month, but my reputation is stained. AGAIN.

Considering the fact that I had some issues with a previous school two years ago, very close to this one. There I resigned on my own. Now everybody is looking at me like I am a bad person. I AM NOT. I try to be sooooo nice and polite, but people always take advantage of that to look down on me. I am extremely humble to a fault, even hubby says I present myself as mumu to people too much.

Is it a crime to be of small stature? I am 39yrs of age and this girl I had an altercation with, she is in her early 20's. I felt so disrespected because of how she confronted me, even poking her fingers in my face in the presence of the students, so I lost my temper. I didn't mean to. Now people are looking at me somehow. I don't feel like waking up in the mornings because I wonder how I would face the day.

I NEED A JOB, that will help me heal from this trauma. Graduated 11 years ago, Chemical Engineering, University of Benin. But I still don't have a good job, I have been teaching to hold body, but I am fed up.

The salary is sooooo small, compared to the work load I was handling. I would love to work in a good company, but nobody, no one is willing to give me a chance. I am depressed daily. God should just use a good person to help me, wipe my tears. Sorry for the long write-up.

It will be wisdom to allow people call you a bad person, so when you do good, they will cherish it.

I sometimes enjoy when pple think I am bad or rude or arrogant, it gives me the freedom to operate...

All is fait in war and crisis, that you used the f word should be the least of your worries, why should you guilt trip yourself for using the f word? A little girl confronting you and poking hands in your face should spike your anger more than you using the f word...

tesppidd:
These Jonathan fan boys led by Reno sef !

Even the man Jonathan has been quiet ever since; he probably realized how much he messed up and like the gentleman he is; has chosen to remain quiet.

But his soldiers have been crying since 2015 till date.

The performance or non performance of Buhari has got nothing to do with Jonathan.

Every patrioitic and reasonable Nigerian as at 2015 would call for the sack of Jonathan.

So also every reasonable and patriotic Nigerian would ask for Buhari to be sacked as of today..

Enough with this blackmail of Nigerians who voted for Buhari over Jonathan.

Jonathan was also so incompetent at 2015 that a stone would have defeated him in an election.

Reno and co should move on with their lives and stop blackmailing anyone who didn't support Gej.
Gej himself has moved on.


Besides that post from Reno does not prove that Wole campaigned for Buhari, that statement was made after Buhari had already won.

GEJ was not incompetent, tribalism and religious bigotry should not be mistaken for patriotism.

A patriot is not one who is hoodwinked in a mass hysteria, a patriot correctly forecast the right trajectory for his country...

Feel free to idolize you tin gods in Soyinka or Buhari, but please for the sake of truth don't ever say people who voted pmb are patriots...

Sonfethopia:


The girl had already cut the product into the desired shape the buyer wants and he can't say he won't buy. Its not fair. Don't be sentimental.

In her story, he kept saying she should snap and send the products, why didn't she snap and send She was able to quote what he wanted, but she couldn't snaap and send what she had.

She isn't completely open with the truth, that truth she isn't completely open about is what made the buyer to block her...

I am 55% certain she had not gone to the park yet as at when I told her something came up. We talked on video till after 3pm and as at then she was at the market.
She told me it's when she closes for the day that she would go to the park. If she had intentions of going to the park at that moment, she would have just told me while we were on video call that she would be on her way to the park any moment now.

According to her, she spent over 2 hours in traffic but the time between when we talked on video and the time I told her I was no longer interested was just over 1 hour

That you took out time to open a thread is enough to give your side of the story is enough, you shouldn't go about explaining yourself to every Tom Dick and Harry, most of them are only speaking from the woman wrapper department of their brain, should this story have been reversed in gender, the fulls sittings as judge over your explanation, will blame you also for not calling the buyer before going to send the items...

Even if you don't have the intention of buying from her again, it's all good... Businesses don't always go as planned and you didn't scam her...

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Share Your Experience Physically Going To Submit Your C.v In A Company by Henrypraise: 3:22pm On Dec 13, 2021
Many Nigerians are very sympathetic to the plights of struggling Nigerians, I wish I could relay my experience in words so I can give normal warri body demonstrations.

So sometime in 2017, things where terrible for me, very very terrible and I kept swinging like a pendulum in and out of depression, I left my little abode in warri Delta State and set sail to set up camp with cousins in festac Lagos, I relaid to them my mission in Lagos, to jejely submit my CV in as many companies as possible.

Armed with the little change I could dust and gleaned from my malnourished bank account and leaking pockets, I was optimistic, I already made alot of photocopies of my CV and also edited to standard...

My cousins gave me directions how I will arrive "ligali", I carefully jotted notable landmarks, I wore a well ironed shirt to tocked in a blue jeans trouser, my bag hanging loosely behind me like a hunters bag, I bounced through "Amuwo odofin" just as I was to cross the express, someone tapped me by my shoulders, waived a not so clear i.d card in my face, introducing himself as a police officer and telling me to follow him, with my rude warri accent and bass voice, I asked "follow you go where? Why I wan follow you?" He said what do I have in my bag, I quickly opened it, he saw many envelopes, brought one out, I allowed him read it and told him I was going job hunting, he looked at me and said "good luck", I didn't even care if he was a police or not, i jejely continued my journey...

Whilst the story is very long, I arrived at ligali and asked a police man for pan ocean company, dude asked if there was a problem, I said no and he just gave me directions without any qualms, at pan ocean, the security didn't allow me walk in but honestly they were sympathetic, the security man and lady told me to reach out through the web site, they gave me their number to call if I had difficulty and that they won't allow me in because they were protecting their own garri...

I walked down and got to halliburton, same thing, the security guys there liked my warri pidgin and one bought me "expensive" indomie, they encouraged me, one even pointed to a staff for me to go meet with and talk to, trying to talk to the staff, he kept walking away and pretended he was making a call, me sef i press am leave am when e shakara con too much for my body.

When I got home, I had dropped 11 cvs with security men and spent about 4k for tfares.

The next day, I told my cousins I needed to go to where there were petroleum depots, he gave me directions to apapa and "Abule Ado", I walked round Abule Ado dropping cvs for safety officer job, I made sure I asked for the safety officer/ manager and I met with them, in all honesty, I never received any bad word from anyone, they encouraged me, took my numbers and I dropped my CV, infact I went to a company depot, I have forgotten the name of the company, but they had red and ash colour to their painting/ coverall, the safety manager, took time to listen to me, offered me a cold drink on that Thursday afternoon, dipped his hands in his pocket and gave me about 3,000 naira, he said he remembered he did what I was doing, he said prayers and told me he had no vacancy, he didn't get my number and didnt give his number, but he was almost in tears...

I went somewhere again and these guys where talking to me like they knew me from Adam, one was saying abeg help me call sulemon, it was latter I called someone and told him I came here to look for work o, he said he thought I was a staff, he directed me to another guy who took my CV and said its only the MD that hires people, I should come the next day to meet the MD....

There was a depot under construction, so many mopols were around, and people on suits, I joined them in their walking entourage and discussion, they didn't mind me, they were concerned about a puddle of water and mud, funny enough, no one even noticed I was not a member of their team, it was when I discovered their Waka just start, na so I press am leave them, I got one guys number and told him I needed to check something.

Okay, nothing much happened from the Lagos trip, but I felt happy and revigored at the encouragement, God bless that man who gave me that money and prayer; humans are not as bad as we sometimes feel or hear from the news, that was my first and only time being in lagos, I left Lagos the next day for Ibadan and back to warri...

If I had remained in Lagos and kept pressing, visiting and revisiting those areas, with my mind focused, I should have gotten one of those jobs, I also enjoyed the carefreeness of people, little wonder it's easily taken advantage of by terrible individuals...

Whilst I still work on contract basis with companies in warri, I would have love to enjoy working as a permanent staff to a company, I am very open for any offer...
