The boy went there and wasnt given to the school.

The talk should be about what the medical centre did. How professional were they? Was oxygen truly lacking as being reported in SM?

Those are the points that should dominate discuss.

WAT SHE IS DOING IS OF THE SPIRIT AND THIS IS HOW U SEE SOME FAMILIES WILL BE EXPERIENCING UNTIMELY DEATH.

My friend Rotimi bought a car he had no business buying in 2019.

Tokunbo Camry. 2006. Big boot. Leather seats with a crack on the passenger side he covered with a towel he called temporary and is still there today. He drove it off the lot in Berger like a man handed a small country to govern.

We called it the Landlord.

Not because it was fine. Because it acted like it owned everywhere it went.

That car changed our lives in a specific way none of us planned for.

Before the Landlord we were 4 men in Lagos doing what young men do. Complaining about traffic from inside danfos. Eating at bukaterias because they were close and Mama Ngozi knew our orders. Talking about things we were going to do someday in the way people talk when someday feels safely far away.

After the Landlord we had no excuse.

Rotimi showed up one Friday at 7pm outside my flat and said get in. I asked where. He said Ibadan. I said for what. He said suya and a drive and stop asking questions.

We called Femi and Kazeem. Both in within 20 minutes.

We drove to Ibadan on a Friday night talking absolute nonsense for 2 hours. Kazeem argued the entire way that Rotimi was driving wrong. Not dangerously. Just wrong. Wrong gear changes. Wrong AC. Wrong station. Rotimi said it was his car and Kazeem said it was everyone's car now and that was somehow accepted as truth without further debate.

We found a suya spot near Dugbe at 10pm. Old man. Iron skewer. Newspaper wrap. The kind that makes you angry because you know you'll spend the rest of your life comparing everything else to this moment.

We sat on a bench outside and ate with our hands and argued about everything.

Football first. Then money. Then which one of us was most likely to be successful. Kazeem voted himself immediately. Femi said Kazeem's definition of success was suspicious. Rotimi said he was already successful because he had a car and none of us could argue with that.

We drove back at 1am.

Kazeem fell asleep before we reached the expressway. Femi was on the phone with someone he refused to explain. Rotimi drove and I sat in front and we talked quietly the way you talk at 1am when the others are sleeping and the road is empty and Lagos is something you're returning to instead of something you're inside.

He said he bought the car because he was tired of waiting to be ready. Said we all kept saying when things are better we'll do this when things are better we'll go there and things were never better enough so nothing ever happened.

I said that was the wisest thing he had ever said.

He said don't tell Kazeem.

Many trips followed.

Port Harcourt for a wedding where we ate bole and fish by the roadside for 45 minutes and nearly missed the ceremony. Benin City once with no plan, just driving, found a restaurant that served the best ofe onugbu any of us had tasted and sat there 3 hours ordering more than we could finish. A beach in Badagry that took 2 hours to find and was worth the wrong turns.

The Landlord broke down 7 times across all of it.

Twice on the expressway. Once in Benin at midnight. Once so dramatically in Ibadan that a mechanic came out laughing before he even looked at the engine.

We fixed it every time. Stood by the road eating whatever was nearby waiting for the thing to be sorted. Rotimi would say she's resting. Kazeem would say she was never built for this. They argued while Femi and I found cold drinks.

Last month Rotimi sold the Landlord.

New owner came and drove it away and we stood in the compound watching it go like we were seeing off something that had carried more than just us.

Rotimi was quiet. Then he said we did good with that car.

Kazeem said the car did terribly and we overcame it repeatedly.

Femi said same thing.

We laughed on that compound for a long time.

Then Rotimi said he was getting a bigger one.

Kazeem said God help us.

He wasn't complaining.

Doesn't America (the greatest military on human history) also has Tomohak missile and advance technology to track them in real time.

How can someone without Navy block a water way?

Go and open it now, see nonsense talk.

US will pay heavily for bombing a sovereign country.

REALLY? THEY SHOULD MAKE LIFE GOOD FOR YOU WHILE THEY ARE SLAUGHTERED AND ENSLAVED BY AMERICA AND ISRAEL, ABI?

DREAM ON. THE WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS IS JUST STARTING, SO BE READY FOR VERY ROUGH TIMES, WHICH YOU WILL DESERVE BECAUSE OF YOUR WICKEDNESS.

I read a lot of publications when I was growing up. Nigerians loved to read back then and there was no shortage of titles for them to read. There were newspapers and magazines that covered virtually every area of human interest.

SmartPolician:
I just hope they won't start charging them to use the pedestrian bridge because there's a similar bridge at Okota where pedestrians pay #50 each time they use it. If you use it 10 times in a day, you pay 10 x #50 = #500. There's no form of toll that doesn't exist in Lagos.

Saturnalia:
It’s been a long while since I watched a high-octane heart-racing movie such as this. Chris Hemsworth has always been one of my favorites. Although the closure of this movie didn’t really sit with me. The masterminder (old man) of the heists gets to walk.

Crime 101 (2026) . I rate this movie 8/10.

You mean to begrudge a sea-farer for being overly dedicated to his trade?

Same trade that feed majority of we consumers at dirt cheap subsidised cost?

Don't go developing a conscience on us now, eat and let's eat

This comment makes no sense. Oga Reverend, any married woman sending you her nude pix most likely needs deliverance or counselling.

Unfortunately, he doesn't see things from that perspective because the orthodox church just accepts anyone to become their pastors, even those who have no calling
