Tears rolled down my cheeks when I saw the last pic of the innocent girl.

Now people are wonderong what's wrong with me shhiiit

Damn bro, so I'm about to close my laptop, job done, let the weekend commence. Yay!
But this, this, really got me. For real. I landed with a thud.

Ok, all we can do is fix this crappy situation for the little girl, however we can from wherever we are.

So far, none of Shehu’s seven children have shown interest in following in his footstep but he says it doesn’t bother him as they have all been enrolled in school. He has, however, trained about four apprentices who now operate independently and have advanced to fixing electrical problems on heavy duty machines such as caterpillars while another has moved to fixing phones. The father of seven said the business has not been as lucrative as it once was and he fears that they may soon be out of business. “In 1998, when I started, we were few who had the skill but there are now a lot of people who are using advanced technology.

Kudos to the guy but why seven children?

richforever123:
In as much as I am sad at the dwindling TB rates, I see it as a good step in growing the economy, there is a huge demand for rice in the country, coupled with the border closure, this is a big opportunity to invest in the real economy, there are a lot of business opportunities available in Nigeria now, but an elevated sense of fear will not allow people invest in the real sector

I agree with you but I'm not sad. TBs will always be there but that wall of 'lazy' money needs to find ahome in the real sector.

Darey00:
Burna Boy's "African Giant" was so fucking cringey to me (not the content tho, great music)... like can't you just be a "Nigerian Giant" foggossake?
why must we always shout Africa? you hardly find these White people shouting "European Music" or "Amerivcan Giant" or any of that nonsense.

Its just another example of the subtle inferiority complex down here...

I'm sorry you feel this way.

I think, more than any other continent, there is a shared history among Africans, a history that recollects suffering and conquest in very recent memory. Continuously reiterating it is not 'nonsense' (again, I'm sorry and very sad you term it this way) but my identity is closely bound to that kinfolk than the 'oppressor culture'.

And being proudly African, as well as Nigerian, or Ibibio/Yoruba/Kanuri etc are not mutually exclusive. Each step, you are drilling down to the essence of your identity, and it all starts from humanity in common.

So, if aliens invade tomorrow, for sure I will pick up weapons and fight for humanity.

Kufie:
Forgive my initial response. Thank you

Respect.

Kufie:
Just go through the route I advised

This is very 'parochial' attitude, chief.

We appreciate you have been very helpful up there but shutting down the conversation like this is uncalled for.

Even I want to know what you mean by 'unsafe on the PH - Akwa Ibom' axis but it's your perogative sha.

Does anyone else have any details?

healthserve:
They can't see it. Lol. Thank goodness we have elders here who can see their end from their beginning. NLNG still on the radar

So, could you, or any of the so-called 'Elders' kindly explain what 'Dangote/Northern effect' has to do with this NERC order? If possible, without insults.

FortuneDeGreat:
This is painful, I really pity the guy, I pray that things will get better for people so that criminal activity will reduce. RIP.

This is one of the most reasonable comments here. To those gloating over this poor young man's death, you have no excuse to ditch your basic humanity.

No one knows his back story? When he was born, people celebrated, kissed the beautiful bomboy. What happened between then and this gory ending is a collective failure of our nation. We all have a hand in this whether by our selfishness, or tribalistic support of the wrong leaders over the ages.

I am sorry it had to come to this for him.

Go in peace, brother.

gypsey:
I am not surprised, I always get this Kinda Ridiculous Answers Every time i ask folks like you to prove to me that demons exist or were i can find this demons.

The king that can control the rain supernaturally needs a policeman to protect him from harm.

I tell ye, these guys have fried brains.

GAZZUZZ:
It does, it is electronically assisted and not done by hydraulics.

Minor point of correction chief, it's electrically assisted, not electronic.

Electronics is all the gubbins that does the complex control stuff typically but here, it's an electric motor that supplements the steering input.

Nice thread, following.

Good morning segzy and thanks for this thread.

One quick observation, no rod reinforcements was required until the lintel? Is that correct? You had no pillars?

twinskenny:
not really prices of coleman cable is a bit on the low for something now

11k for 1.5mm or 2.5mm?

1.5mm - I know, very fishy.

Serious stuff, I know. I'm getting to the bottom of this but I'm told coil lenghts differ sometimes (75m vs 100m?)

Over to the gurus here.

topsy23:
11k for 1.5mm?? almost double of the price

twinskenny:
what make of cable is this?

Yes, those prices seem very cheap, right?

Me, I'm getting quoted N11k for 1.5mm.

Congratulations.

I wish I saw you here before my own job but we'll keep an eye on you in case of future.

Bless.

Good job and thanks for sharing.

Quick question, who provided the various designs? Was it left to your initiative?

Zadoknd:
The next time that little voice within tells you to write something like this under a person's advert, remember to tell it you haven't asked the poster any questions about the post and at such can't be an authority in your own words.

Well, that's me seriously told off then. I'll ask the little voice where next to take me in our Mainland Lagos property quest, lol.

Good luck!

Google map reference please.

Send here, not ask me to whatsapp. Thanks

You claim to be selling a house. The picture you put up gives the impression this is not your own instruction from the owner, so the gateman did not even let you in.

One will conclude you are just a 'chancer', 'Mr 5% on top of 5% fee'. In other words, a parasite.

Sorry if this is not correct but you need to do better.

Bro what is tribalism here?
He stated the obvious fact, if not you should ask why is the lake rice only sold during sallah?

Use your data, find google, and apply sense sometimes.

tensazangetsu20:
The recent n62 and n63 engines are horribly made. It's not about maintenance but this engine start having horrible issues at around the 100k mileage mark. Maintain them all you want but the problems are inevitable. BMW V8s v10s and V12 engines should be avoided at all costs.

I have researched further and, yes, these particular engine variants have multiple reported problems and to be avoided especially in Nigeria where the necessary DIY resources might not be to hand. At the right purchase price, I could perhaps buy them and run them abroad.

I stand by my response to your generalization though, on the basis of my own experience with the S62 engine for almost two decades.

Good day.

tensazangetsu20:
If she really wants a BMW SUV she should get the X3 or X1. If she still insists on going for the X5 then she should get only the six cylinder version. BMW V8 engines should be avoided drastically. They are horribly made

Not true, that generalization. They are fantastically made but require the recommended maintenance done at the appointed intervals. Simple things like oil changes.

Me. I've run a BMW V8 for more almost twenty years.

Orobo2Lekpa:
I never said he was scared. I said he knew his limits. whatever you think of Fela, he was a very intelligent dude and knew when to shoot and when to cock his gun and wait

'Not being scared' is why he's widely admired and I'm glad you acknowledge it. That should be the end of it.

As for being intelligent, and knowing when to cock his gun and all that, even if we grant you that, why did you opt to characterize that as 'not being infallible'?

This might have to do with feeding something in your own psyche, not reality, as proven by almost everyone else here, most of whom lived in the Fela era.

Anyway, you have debated courteously and I congratulate you for that. I'm out tho.

Orobo2Lekpa:
I was using lingo many people here can relate to. Fela's greatness is not in doubt but he was not infallible and he knew his limits. He did not release songs against a military government while they were still in power. Facts

Jeez, dude, ok smoke this in your pipe ... "he was arrested on over 200 different occasions and spent time in jail, including his longest stint of 20 months after his arrest in 1984"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Kuti

Yeah right, he was running scared indeed.

I doubt you've even had a policeman oik you by your trousers.

Orobo2Lekpa:
Fela diss songs on Presidents was usually put on general release after they have left office.
he sang diss songs in the shrine but these were not put to album while the Head of state was in power.
Even Fela power no reach to try some people like Buhari when they were in power

You betray your immaturity. 'Diss song' my left glute. What of 'beef'?

Fela did not engage in 'diss songs'. He lived the struggle.

Just saw this.

The car in those years have some electronic gremlins that occasionally show up. One fix to try is to just disconect the battery (the negative post would suffice) for about 10 minutes or so, the working idea being that residual capacitance in some of the electronic circuits is allowed to decay away and any culprit latched gates released. This has worked for me on many occasions.

jcflex:
Will appreciate any help from here.

My 2005 530i screen just went off yesterday,

now i cnt get any info on the car condition, car tape/radio not working as well as the screen is not coming up.but engine working perfectly and drive fine on the road.

what could be the likely problem

somez:
Thank you for observing our posts . We hope you find our content valuable as other users of this veritable thread do too ( owing by calls generated from this platform) .

Humbly, we will be posting many more building / interiors designing paraphernalia on this platform.

Thank you.

You are being deliberately cute. This particular thread was created for a specific purpose, and could easily get swamped defeating that purpose, if certain rules of etiquette were not provided alongside making it a 'sticky'.

It is definitely not for advertising your 'paraphernalia'. You can create one for this and dump your content to your heart's desire. The fact you consistently flout this general understanding says so much about your attention to future clients' wishes.

There are astute potential housebuilders observing here. You may get some business from this underhandness but get 'swerved' by a lot more, like me.

AntiBalaka:
If he is mad then sack him from his position. How can you still retain a confirmed clinically insane person within your organisation?

On the last note, let me reiterate what I said above: The Federal govt should decide on whether it wants to run an effective civil service or a welfare scheme because as it is now, the civil service is filled to the brim with highly unemployable individuals.

I tell you what I would do, I will retain him and send him on medical compassionate leave, with his family catered for. It's not being soft, it's being prudent and also human. As the bro up there said, we should use the hammer less and less, take a step back. What would those we profess as the progenitors of our various faiths do? Then perhaps, we would have fewer incidents of human flesh being barbequed on our streets in the name of jungle justice.

And, he is not 'mad'? The use of that term alone reveals your disposition to people afflicted by this terrible disease. It could come to one of yours too soon.

GTFO:
but how would you know the balance ?

i mean will the banker(s)/bank manager(s) not tell a lie about the actual balance in the said account for their own selfish interest??

If the court is asking in the process of applying for the Letter of administration, they can't do that.
