mydex93: Fine wah?...she isnt even as pretty as my mama ...Guess she's possessed

No mine am jare! You bin fine pass am jor!

Na wa for nairalanders o. Not even one of you can say a word of prayer for the victim of this dastardly act. Dont you know she may have died all the while you guys are argueing, comparing, abusing and hauling stones at each other.


DEAR GOD, PLEASE FORGIVE THE VICTIM OF THIS ACT (WIFE). HEALED HER, MAY DEATH NOT TAKE HER SOUL AS A RESULT OF THIS BECAUSE OF HER CHILDREN. (AMEN)

heefeholuwah: Barca is the team..vilanova is the man..heefeholuwah is the no1 fan and Soccer is the game

Sorry bro. 2012 is gone, we are in 2013. Barcelona now has a new coach.

My man, you just took me back 12years ago, when I and my manager were framed by our employer (who is a deacon in my church) and we landed in Ikoyi Prison Awaiting Trial (ATM) for 4 days.

I dont want to recount that experience, its barbaric! and cruel!

You wont believe that some of the inmates of ATM are unable to get bail, just because they have nobody to pay as little as 500naira for their bail. Some are even there, without their relatives and friends knowing they are there, Police just raided them, label them armed robbers, they got to court, said they are not guilty and next thing, they are in Black Marias and shipped to ATM.

One case that brought tears from my eyes when I got there, was the case of a boy and his dad, I didn't meet the dad as he died like a week plus before we got there.

This boy (Sule) and his dad came to Lagos from their village (God knows where) to check on his elder brother, got to his place very late in the night only to be told he had pack out, they had nowhere to sleep, and GSM was not common at that time, 2001. They where just roaming about looking for a place to sleep when Police raked them and labelled them armed robbers, from cell to court to prison (ATM). They were there for 2 years, and later maybe due to sickness, hunger or maltreatment, the father died.

The warders arranged that the corpse be thrown into the big suck away that OP mentioned earlier, but the chief warder at that time disagreed that they check the forms filled by each inmate to know his address and contact them to come and carry their corpse, so it was sent to the morgue. They contacted the Ikoyi police station, which contacted the police station in the village where they came from through the address they gave and those now got in contact with the family.

It is at that point that the family knew that Sule and his Dad that everybody thought had died maybe through accident, money ritual or whatever had been in prison in Lagos all the while. Even the elder brother they came to see, had gone home later and was told they left to Lagos to look for him, he went to his former house and was told they came and left.

The second day I spent there, was the day the family of Sule came to bail him from the prison. Everybody in our cell room (more like a hall with bunker beds aligned to the wall and space in the middle (jankara Market) were happy for him. He actually left the prison as a christian, he sometimes leads the prayer sessions, which comes at intervals, I think 30mins interval or thereabout, I dont remember exactly.

I was bail the fourth day (Thank God) but to me, its like I was there for 4years. My people, Ikoyi Maximum prison is another world in its own entirety.
