Please take your Sienna and run. If you see Odessey coming very close to your run faster in your own interest, from experience Odessey is no, no.

Morphinne:
Bless you
The world needs more bold Elders like this. This is what we’ve been saying all this while but you never can underestimate the power of fools, especially when they are in large groups. These foolish nairaland resident western slaves have been trying hard to change the narrative. Trying really hard to have us believe that the supposed Villains are the saints here and vice versa. Russia is not the Middle East or North Africa. The country they are messing with is also a superpower

Since the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Pope Francis has floated the idea that he wants to take a trip to Kyiv to try to broker a ceasefire. But now he says he would prefer to go to Moscow to try to talk some sense into Vladimir Putin, who he has not outwardly condemned in the now nearly three-month-old war and only did so lightly in a lengthy interview with an Italian newspaper.

“I feel that before going to Kyiv, I must go to Moscow,” he told Corriere Della Sera in an interview that ran Tuesday. But the meeting would not exactly be to condemn Putin, based on what he told the paper. He said that the real “scandal” of Putin’s war is “NATO barking at Russia’s door,” which he said caused the Kremlin to “react badly and unleash the conflict.”

Never mind that the 85-year-old pontiff is unable to walk after tearing a ligament in his knee (for which he says he will soon have surgery), or that Putin won’t even answer his calls. Francis repeated comments he has made in general audiences and in other interviews that the war is nothing more than a giant opportunity for a “trade in arms” and that it is still ongoing because of the constant shuttling of weapons to Ukraine. He has spoken twice by phone to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but mostly to urge him not to fight back. He also went to the Russian embassy to the Holy See days after the invasion began to “register his concerns” about what was happening.

“I don’t know how to answer - I’m too far a way - the question of whether it is right to supply the Ukrainians,” he told the paper. “The clear thing is that weapons are being tested there. The Russians now know that tanks are of little use and are thinking of other things. This is why wars are waged: to test the weapons we have produced. Few people are fighting this trade, but more should be done.”

Whether the Italian journalists didn’t ask or whether he didn’t answer there was no mention about what would happen if Ukrainians were not fiercely fighting back, whether it would mean a full annexation of the entire country, millions of deaths, or empowering an already insatiably power-hungry Putin.

Francis veered toward conspiracy theory as he blamed the international community for instigating the war.

“You cannot think that a free state can make war on another free state,” he said. “In Ukraine, it seems that it was others who created the conflict. I am pessimistic but we must do everything possible to stop the war.”

The pope then said that in a state visit to Rome by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, he was told “the Russians have a plan, that everything will end on May 9” without giving any further explanation. May 9 is the day Russia celebrates its liberation and the end of World War II.

It depends, I use the 3.0L V6 sienna 2000 manufacturer stats is 9L highway 12.5L city 10.5L combined.

I mostly achieve around 10 to 12.5L/100km within Lagos depending on how I drive as I am always against traffic while heading to work.

But I was caught up in abule egba traffic of 4hours one day while coming from abeokuta, I calculated my mpg and it was around 14L/100km.

So you have to calculate your distance, you don't need a vehicle to do this, you can use a map on Android device to calculate it.

Then calculate what you really need the car for, if it's for third row seats, there are a lot of third row seat vehicles that you can choose and are more economical than the sienna but with less cargo space.

1. Toyota Picnic
2. Corolla verso
3. Toyota avanza (mostly Nigerian used)

IGBOSON1:
Shut your bigoted mouth! In this instance, the murderers are northern elements…most likely Fulani, masquerading as IPOB/ESN members! Why would a Igbo go out and murder another Igbo in cold blood when we’re all facing the same enemy….the murderous Fulani hegemony!? There’s only one group of people that are known for this wanton and senseless wasting of innocent blood for a political cause or ethno-religious inspired hatred, and NO SOUTHERN ETHNICITY HAS THIS IN THEIR CHARACTER! Even Yoruba and Igbo that have had tensions between them haven’t resorted to such…..that’s if you discountenance the madness some Yoruba got up to during the uncivil war!

TF is wrong and happening with this country. Nigeria deserve a dictator leader who doesn't take nonsense.

Mooh247:




What stops him from changing the face of governance now

And to the people ignorantly asking what his statutory role are



*What was his contribution to National Economic Policy as the Chairman of the Council oversighting Nigerian economy ?!

*What was his contribution to National Security Architecture as a statutory member and Vice chairman, Acting Chairman of National Defence Council

*Many times when Buhari was not around, he presided over Federal Executive Council, what positive life changing policy, contracts and projects did he approve and the weekly executive Council meeting

As shared by ALEEY GIWA Deputy PPRO Lagos State Police command

It is generally expected that friends cherish each other’s dreams and aspirations. However some friends are enemies within.

I’ve a story, but before I proceed, I would like to emphatically state that the motive for sharing these stories is to ensure that my readers learn from others experiences and not fall into the same ditch others have ignorantly fallen into in the past.

The story went viral on SM sometime ago. It was reported that; “Police officers arrested Mr.A for no good reason and extorted money from him in the sum of 300k.”

Reading about this, I sent a private massage to the blog that posted it requesting for the contact of the complainant. Good enough I got a reply.

I was sent the handle & email of the guy that made the thread. So I reached out to him. My message him was - “Sir I saw ur post, pls can u kindly tell me what happened”

And his reply was “Two days ago my friend was beaten mercilessly, because he refused to comply with them and was taken to the Police station and on getting to the said Police station they were informed that there was a petition against his friend. So I asked him who wrote the petition against his friend and what was his offense?”
His response was that the police refused to show them the petition and that they only told them that he was involved in some sort of fruad that was worth about 25k dollars”

While I was chatting with the guy who sent the post to the Blog, someone just sent me a direct message “Good morning Sir, I am Mr.A.”

I am the guy that was arrested by your men, I learnt that u were trying to get in-touch with me. Immediately I got that, I switched to Mr.A. I replied him “Oh great sir, so sorry about that ugly incident, pls what really happened?”

His response was “Sir thanks for reaching out and God bless you. To start with, it wasn’t 300k they collected from me it was 100k they collected, and sincerely there was a petition filed against me, but it was an old case which I had already settled while I was in the USA. It was about a transaction my friend asked me to help him with, which later became more like a fraud from my end in the State(USA). My account ws blocked & all.

To cut the long story short.

I replied him “Pls meet me at the station tomorrow, so we can trash things out”

Fast forward the next day.
Mr.A called me, saying “Pls sir I wouldn’t be able to make it today. But will try come the following day, which I didn’t object to. But I proceeded to meet with the Officer in Charge of the department that arrested Mr.A.

I got there and the following conversations ensued;

Me: Good monring sir (Saluted and banged my foot).

Oc: How’re doing Giwa! Deputy PPRO!

Me: fine sir, i just have one small issue that I need to draw ur attention to.

Oc: what happened Giwa?

Me: it’s about a case and it has gone viral on SM.

Oc: Okay!

Me: Oga, some of ur men arrested one guy (Mr.A). According to the report they collected the sum of 300k from him & rough-handled him mercilessly.

Oc: Giwa Pls did he tell you the name of the IPO?

Me: Yes Sir, IPO Z is the name he mentioned.

Immediately the OC called the IPO via his phone.

Oc: please come meet me in my office.

IPO came in.

IPO: Good monring sir!!

Oc: Yes! What’s good about the morning? Which case are you handling that you collected 300k from the suspect?

IPO: I am not handling any case like that Sir. (Looking all scared)

Oc: Okay!! call me all your team members now!!!

So the IPO called his team members.

The Oc asked them who’s the most senior officer among them?

The most senior officer (Inspector) answered!

Then the OC asked: which case are you doing? And which one did you collect 300k from the suspect?

Inspr: we didn’t collect 300k from any suspect. Don’t know what you are talking about Sir.

The OC just faced me and he said; Giwa please call the complaint of the case.

Me: He said he can’t make it today. But will be available tomorrow by God grace.

Oc: Okay then,when he’s around bring him straight to my office.I’ll surely deal with these men! I don’t accept all these uncivilized act here.

Later that day my phone rang! Good enough Mr.A is calling....
Me:Hello Sir

Mr.A:Hello Sir, how’re u doing? So sorry I couldn’t make it today

Me: Oh it’s no problem Bro! I really understand.

Mr.A: Sir, I am scared of coming because my friend said I shouldn’t come.

Me: why please?

Mr.A: I don’t really know why he keeps insisting i shouldn’t come. That they will change the story on me and blah blah!
Me: Pls don’t mind him. Just come & let see the officer in charge of the department. You’re fine my brother. We can’t let this go. If we keep avoiding such, trust me the system will only get worse. And having a great policing system in our country is a collective effort. After the 22mins conversation, he agreed to come around without his friend (the guy who posted the story on SM).

The next day, the guy came around with his face swollen and bruises all over him. Tbh, I felt terrible when I saw it. So I took him straight to the OC’s office.

Me: Good monring sir (saluted and banged my foot)

Oc: Giwa how are u and where is the guy?

Me: here’s the guy Sir!

Mr.A: Good morning Sir.

Oc: How’re u doing my brother! What happened to ur face? That was the 1st question the OC asked.

Mr.A: I was beaten.

Oc: by who?? (Angrily)
Mr.A: by the police officers that arrested me 2 days ago

Oc: who & wats the name of the officer?

Mr.A: IPO Z!

Oc: ah! But Giwa u were here yesterday when he denied to have such case.

Me: Yes Sir!

Oc: These men are terrible set of people.

Long story short!
He called the IPO & his team and they couldn’t deny knowing him...
after loads of talk, all of a sudden they started begging!

Oc: call me the SO (Station officer)!

SO: Sir, u sent for me!

OC: put them in cell and later take them to provost.

Oc: wait oh! what about the money y’all collect?

Inspr: its 100k he gave us, not 300k.

OC: U didn’t just collect money! You robbed him!

OC: I wouldn’t take that!! Never!! I will make sure y’all face the disciplinary board!

They started begging the guy

Long story short!

Oc: where is the petition of Mr.A case, that you are working on?

IPO: let me go bring it!

He brought the Petition after like 35mins!

Hmmmmm!

Oc: why did it take you that long?
IPO: The place I kept it was locked, that’s why Sir.

Oc collected the petition and read it out!l and mentioned the name of the petitioner (The person who wrote the petition against him). When the OC mentioned the name of the petitioner! Omo! Na so Mr.A screamed! Oga that’s my friend who posted the story on SM! Hmmmmm!

Then the IPO opened up! Plenty things really!
Wouldn’t be able to say it all on here! Will just state few.

The friend told the Officers that the guy is a GeeBoy(yahoo yahoo) and when he will be coming to Nigeria. When Mr.A arrived Nigeria,he took his friends out,lodge them in a Hotel & they cruised round the city! (Omo the friend told the IPO everything). He told the police that he just bought his mother a car and details of Mr.A account balance self. He was the one that sent a text to the Police men that they were in a spot and were about to leav and that was the day he was arrested.

Now this is where wahala dey!
The Friend wanted a share from the money Police collected from Mr.A! So he thought they collected 300k. The Friend even brought a Solicitor to negotiate the terms and conditions of his bail. According to Mr.A, the solicitor at some point was asking for 1million Naira for his services! At that point he said “I suspected some irregularities.” So he decided to call one of his uncles who spoke to some Policemen at that dept. That was when they agreed to accept the 100k. Mr.A also said “my friend kept asking him ‘how much dem collect for ur hand?’ That’s when I told him 300k!

Abeg long story short!

The 3 Policemen were detained for 3 weeks, faced disciplinary committee and were DEMOTED. Mr.A’s friend was arrested & charged to court for False information. The parent of Mr.A’s friend wanted to settle the matter out of court. The truth is we have done our job & it has been charged to court. We no longer have a say on that.

My people one thing we all need to know is..... “Never be an insincere friend, never be manipulative, one day u will be discovered & lose everything”

ok, cool you Can Get bus if You are in Lagos. Get bus from mazza-mazza, they go to accra straight from Lagos. or you go to agege bus terminus you can also get luxurious marcopolo buses from there to accra (the Ghanaian capital). The cost is always around 8k-10k. and you might even get cheaper rates. visit www.ysgtransport.com or you can google "chisco transport" for more better prices and address of their terminus in lagos.
I also recommend you to followup and read www.africtravelogues..com for the accra and other ghanaian city guides

feel free to ask more questions on this nairaland forum.

gentlebullet:
If you are in Accra, find your way to STC station in Tudu and board a bus to Aflao( the fare is Ghc28). When you alight at the STC Park in Aflao, you walk down to the border and stamp your passport out of Ghana and into Togo.

After border crossing, Just walk down to the car park right there on the Togo side of Aflao, you will see vehicles loading to Cotonou, Seme and Lagos. The Seme cars loads faster and the fare is 6000Cfa, you will alight at Hilla-Codji (Togo/ Benin border), cross on foot whiles the vehicle crosses to wait for you at the car park on the Benin side.( stamping of passport here has to do with your smartness. If you don't have a passport and yellow card, you pay 500cfa on both sides to immigration and 300cfa for yellow card).

From Hilla-codji you pass Cotonou and drive to Seme, Just pick a bike to cross you to the Nigeria side for #500 if you aren't stamping passport. I am sure you can find your way from Seme to your final destination in Lagos.
I hope this helps.....

The laws can't make them perfect but to guide the Israelites until the Messiah (Christ) comes, unlike Moses who presented the laws and failed to live perfectly by it.
Jesus laid down perfect principles and lived by it.
So Jehovah gave the Israelites the laws to guide them until the coming of the perfect master (Christ)

very sweet town was at ibadan last week while going to Lagos . really loved the place cuz that was my first time of going there . was expecting the normal brown zinc houses kriss posted on page 1 but only saw few of them rather I was amazed by the fine structures I saw. have u heard that ooni of Ife has passed away . passed through his palance too while going to Lagos. for real ibadan is a sweet city

diplomat058:
Aside the CBN Building, which other "federal structure" was posted there? Some of your guys just delight in making trashy insinuations. Talk of self determination, which region first championed self rule in 1957? Which region has for long promoted restructuring as part of of its reformation mandate? Which parasitic region abolished the then buoyant regional system and imposed unification decree 34 upon Nigerians?

Some people have facts here you know. And based on current development metrics, we all know the region best prepared for breakup, should it eventually happen

adebayo987:
Very unfortunate!

IPOB should not be the only enemy this government sees. They should put shoot on sight order on yahoo boys, ritualist [/s]alhajis[s] and bandits. Since they can't provide jobs, let them enforce very harsh sentence on these wicked souls and send all the law enforcement agents all out against them. My sister was nearly nabbed but her pregnancy saved her but they still went ahead to steal her phone. Luckily for her, the phone was flashed and she just took it from the repairer.

All taxis should be painted same way and finger prints, trackers and cctv installed. Because it's public transport means they're using to nab people.

May the souls of the killers rot in hell and may this beautiful soul rest in peace.

Chai! This girl too fine... Mtcheeew it's well.

Jaqenhghar:
They dont have to kill anyone. In a society where many believe the victim deserves it , what do you think will happen? I posed thay question to someone recently name me one high profile case where a rapist was c9nvicted in Nigeria he started jumping from pillar to post.

Jaqenhghar:
Not in Niggeria. They willsettle the police men and everyone will concude that the victim was useless thats why it happened.
