For the past two weeks, I spend nothing less than 2 hours between Sango (Rhema Church) and Joju bus stop.
It's disgusting. I stand with one term for all our political elected officers.

My wife has had two C-sections. I will go back home and thank her specially for going through all this for me and our children.
I will start to love her more.
I will respect her feelings more than before.

How does a solar eclipse happen?

Solar eclipses are an accident of nature. They are so spectacular because the Moon and the Sun appear almost the same size. In reality the Sun is much further away then the Moon, but much larger.

The Moon orbits the Earth once a month, and eclipses happen if it lines up exactly with the Earth and the Sun. Solar eclipses occur at New Moon, when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur at Full Moon, when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. Eclipses do not take place every month because the orbits of the Moon and Earth are tilted at an angle. Most of the time, the line- up is not precise enough for an eclipse. However, there are more eclipses than people are generally aware of:

WB00955_.GIF (255 bytes) There are at least two eclipses of the Sun each year, though most are partial.
WB00955_.GIF (255 bytes) There are at least two eclipses of the Moon each year, though a proportion of these are only penumbral, when the Moon is not seen to darken by very much.
WB00955_.GIF (255 bytes) There can be as many as seven eclipses (solar plus lunar) in any one year. In 1935 there were five solar eclipses - four partial and one annular.

On average, there is a total solar eclipse visible somewhere about every 18 months. However, from any one location on Earth, total eclipses take place on average only once in several hundred years

Honestly, I do not mean to belittle your trouble and hardwork, but Mustard seeds are never as big as these ones.
They are very tiny.

There is no way you won't work because of the two. it is just that one must come first.
I believe passion should come first when it comes to work because it is the passion you have that would propel you to work with diligence and much dedication that will bring about promotion and more money.

This is definitely not a residential building but either KAI office or LASTMA or any other environmental agency office.
My opinion though...

In as much as I appreciate the remedy kits to help determine the extent of damage caused to the victim, I think there is need to stem up the laws and rules that will deter such horrible men from such evil acts (I mean the rules that will be severing and deadly to the culprit), may be we can settle less on crying on split milk.

I'm planning to buy a particular used car from someone, please, what documents do I get from him

[dearpreye Trying To Impress Others: Sometimes we do it even without knowing. I've done this a few times. It's a terrible habit. We need to live realistic lives. And we must live within our means. It's stupid to live an exaggerated life so as to impress some people. It's epic foolishness. Oftentimes those we intend to impress hard notice us. Why the bother? It another habit of the poor to try to give people a false sense of their financial status. Now, I don't give a hoot. I simply live MY life. Anyone can make their conclusions; it's their business.]

[You are on point]

[quote author=Tuntheycr7 post=35378847][b]This morning, as I landed in Lagos, I made to the
nearest GTB to transact. The queue from inside
the banking hall to the bank entrance was crazy.
They are customers who wanna register for their
BVN, I was told. Today is the last day for
registration, they said. I wished them well as I
aligned with the shorter queue for customers
who wanna deposit cash.
Soon, from the BVN queue, a woman began to
scream. The only thing I was able to pick from
the scream, 'se ori meji loni ni? (does he have
two heads?' I stepped out of my queue, to go
and gbeborun, to see what or who was
tormenting this woman. These GTB staff that are
always garbed in white military-like uniform; are
they drivers or security men? About three of
them had just came in with one whiteman. And
they took the whiteman straight to the lady at
the BVN desk. And the lady, too, was already
attending to the whiteman while the queue
watched, and waited, except this woman.
For a moment, I observed things. The woman
screaming against this white supremacy on the
soil of Africa is one local market woman. I
figured through her dressing, the way she tied
her purse around her waist, and when she
lamented that they left their wares to come join
this queue since they heard the exercise was
gonna close today. The men in white and the
whiteman weren't bothered by the woman's
noise. It was a case of allowing the dog bark all
it can till it can bark no more. The people on the
queue were indifferent. Some of them, their
looks carried the undertone, 'shey this woman
wey dey shout want oyinbo to join the queue ni?
Haba!'
I stepped into the circle, calming the woman.
And then, I took the fight from there. I banged
the desk twice, and instantly I got everyone's
attention. How can these men in white bring this
man in and wouldn't tell him to join the queue? I
began. Hey madam, pointing to GTB staff by the
BVN desk, you can only attend to this man when
he joins the queue! Who are you? One of the
idiots in white turned at me. I jega'ed him. I am
a ten year old customer of GTB, I said, with a
brief smile. At this point, everything stood still.
Tell this man to join the queue, I insisted. When
the whiteman's eyes met mine, I expected him to
talk. He didn't. I did the talking. Is this how you
do from where you come from, huh? I threw into
his face. Is this how you will connive with staff
to jump over the queue when at the Barclays
Bank in London or the Royal Bank in Edinburgh
or Dime Savings Bank of New York? Ha, we don't
do like that here in Nigeria o. We follow due-
process. Mafi bredi komi lomi obe je, ogbeni
oyinbo! L'Eko Ile? Oma to sori queue yen ni se.
He folded his arms and looked on imperiously.
At this point, the bank top officials had gathered
around. There were attempts to 'rescue' the
whiteman to their office upstairs. I halted it. The
moment I noticed, I told them that if they go
attend to the whiteman upstairs, I will tell
everyone on the queue to march upstairs, too.
And then, they resorted to begging. And even the
woman whose fight I had taken ownership of
started to beg me. Otito Baba Oko mi, she
pleaded. No, oyinbo MUST join the queue! Their
pleading fuelled my anger. What is that?
These things that come with neo-imperialism
sha. I've also heard about how whitemen smoke
in places marked No Smoking at the Nigerian
airport, and they go, without being penalised as
would Nigerian offenders.[/b]

[TRUE TALK. I LOVE THE BOLDNESS]

(How e won take climb ladder now ]
I wonder how people take serious issues so naive. Be sympathetic at once in a while brother.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1st Corinthians 2:16
But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? Jer 23:18
Do you listen in on God's council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom? Job 15:8

nice one

What goes around comes back around

.......will just laugh over it and do the needful to get the room clean but in conjunction with his mum

I've taken my time to go through all the touching pictures and my conclusion is that I have only enjoyed God's mercy and protection from such calamities before and now.
Lord, I'm grateful and what about you?

Vanity upon vanity says the book of wisdom.
When people are dying of hunger, sickness,etc someone will be leaving in a property worth so much that can be burgled, razed by fire or bombed.But no matter what, we can not say God is unrighteous.

SHANNON GADBERRY AUGUST 13, 2014
While most of us go about our socially acceptable lives, whole societies exist below the streets, full of people living an unconventional and oftentimes hazardous lifestyle. Some are down there by choice, while others have none. Some have cleared out, but others still reside. The only thing they share is that at some point, they adopted a home beneath the Earth’s surface, and society remains largely unaware of the people right below their feet.

10 Bucharest, Romania
Below the streets of Romania’s capital of Bucharest is a network of tunnels providing shelter for a group of drug-addicted, HIV-infected, and chain-wearing kids and teenagers. Their leader—or rather, father figure—refers to himself as “Bruce Lee” and takes in the lowest of the low. He’s dedicated his life to keeping his self-sufficient family safe and as warm as possible, even if that means giving them a safe space to do drugs. The teens can often be seen huffing metallic paint out of black bags called Aurolac.The front door to this underground community is a hole in the pavement on a traffic island, and no one can enter without permission from Bruce Lee himself. Those who have been invited describe it as a type of parallel universe, a world of abandoned children and addicted teenagers, rescued dogs and cats, full electricity, a stereo system that plays nonstop club music, televisions, and even artificial grass.Citizens of Bucharest are not only aware of what’s going on beneath their feet, many praise Bruce Lee’s actions. After the 1966 ban on contraception and abortion by former communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu in an effort to increase the workforce, unwanted and orphaned children began flooding the streets. Bruce Lee has not only moved these tragic youths off the streets, he’s provided a safe haven for those who would otherwise freeze in the brutal temperatures or fall victim to sexual predators. He even pays protection money to a local gang to ensure his children’s safety. While the homeless children of Bucharest remain hidden from the public eye, Bruce Lee hopes for them to be recognized as the self-sustaining family that they strive to be.


9 Ulan Bator, Mongolia
As Mongolia transitioned from Soviet socialism to capitalism, many citizens were left homeless and unemployed. As a result, parents were given little choice but to abandon their children. Since winters in Ulan Bator can drop to a brutal –34 degrees Celsius (–30 °F), the 4,000 runaway or abandoned children in the city of 2.5 million began to seek refuge in the sewer system, where the city’s hot water pipes snake through intricate underground tunnels.Through the work of international and local groups, many of these children were rescued from the sewers, but the adults who had made a home in the tunnels were left untouched and ignored. Witnesses describe the residents of this subterranean refuge as derelicts who spend their days drinking 200-proof Mongolian moonshine, wasting away in a drunken stupor while futilely trying to provide for their families.Life for these subterranean Mongolians isn’t easy. While the water pipes and alcohol may provide an escape from the intense cold, the sewers can actually get fatally hot. This has led to the deaths of many who have nowhere else to turn to escape the freezing temperatures of Mongolia.

8 Kazan, Russia
During the investigation of a terrorist attack that had killed a top cleric in the region of Tatarstan, police discovered an eight-level bunker beneath a mosque in Kazan, Russia. There, they found an Islamic sect of 27 children and 38 adults living in monk-like chambers. Many of these children were kept in unheated cells and had never visited a doctor, attended school, or seen daylight.The labyrinth-style bunker was the brainchild of 83-year-old Faizrakham Satarov. In the mid-1960s, after he noticed sparks shooting from a trolleybus cable and interpreted them as divine intervention from God, Satarov declared himself an Islamic prophet and built the bunker as a religious school. His followers eventually secluded themselves inside, rejecting their former lives above ground and asserting themselves as an Islamic caliphate.Upon discovery, Satarov’s devotees refused to abandon their underground Islamic state. They defiantly proclaimed that they’d have to be steamrolled by bulldozers along with the bunker, but it ended up being demolished without bloodshed. The children were given medical attention, proper care, and their first glimpse of sunshine.

7 Yanan, China800px-Cave_houses_shanxi_1

Thanks to the permeable soil of the Loess Plateau in Yan’an, China, more than 30 million Chinese farmers have turned to cave-dwelling for sustainable living and agriculture. While the more elaborate caves are fortified with brick masonry and sport high ceilings and front yards, standard caves (called yaodongs) are composed of vaulted rooms dug into the side of a mountain. They have entrances draped in rice paper and quilts, and their walls are plastered white with lime and decorated with paintings and magazine clippings.This style of living is energy-efficient, cost-effective, and a monument to a long history of Chinese cave-dwelling. For over two millennia, the Chinese people have adopted this lifestyle, from the earliest primitive caves of the Zhou Dynasty to the more evolved subterranean caves of the Qin and Han eras. Many caves are inherited property, passed down from one generation to the next.Those who grew up in these yaodongs often never leave for their love of the cultivation, simplicity, cool summers, and warm winters. Lifetime cave-dweller 76-year-old Ma Liangshui says that “Life is easy and comfortable here . . . I have everything I need. I’ve lived all my life in caves, and I can’t imagine anything different.”

6 Paris, France800px- Catacombes_De_Paris

Also known as the Empire of the Dead, the catacombs in Paris are an impressive, 320-kilometer (200 mi) underground cemetery. It is the eternal resting place for more than six million people. During a training exercise beneath Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, Paris police stumbled across the headquarters of a secret society that was fully equipped with electricity, phone lines, and even restaurants and movie theaters. The ceiling was painted with swastikas, Celtic crosses, and stars of David.Upon entry at the first tunnel, police found a closed-circuit TV camera sitting on a desk recording images of all entering the premises as well as a tape of dogs barking that was triggered to scare off intruders. The tunnel led to a cave 18 meters (60 ft) underground that was outfitted with a cinema screen, seats carved from rock, projection equipment, and a variety of films. In a smaller cave, there was a restaurant and bar fully stocked with whiskey, tables, chairs, and even a pressure cooker for couscous.When police returned to the underground quarters a few days later to investigate the source of the electricity, they found the power and phone lines cut along with a note in the middle of the floor that read “Do not try to find us.” Following the mysterious discovery, a group of urban explorers who called themselves the Mexican Consolidated Drilling Authority admitted to RTL Radio that the cinema belonged to them. This underground organization secretly improves parts of Paris that are neglected by the French government. When they’re not restoring medieval crypts and the Pantheon clock, they gather together deep below Paris for film festivals and parties.

5 Moscow, Russia
In Moscow, beneath the former site of the Cherkizovsky market that had been shut down in 2009, a police raid revealed 260 illegal workers living in an underground sweatshop. Many of these workers were Vietnamese, but others had migrated from the former Soviet Republics of Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Since the USSR was dismantled in 1991, these republics have struggled with poverty, forcing many to seek alternate and sometimes illegal means of survival.According to a Human Rights Watch report, the migrants were forced to work long hours in poor living conditions with little to no pay. Due to the migrants’ poverty, limited Russian dialect, and lack of ability to contact Russian society to seek the necessary aid, workers were forced to live and build a community within the cramped and damp tunnels. Sewing machines, a casino room, a cafe, a chicken coop, and even a cinema were found among the sweatshop residents.

4 New Kingston, Jamaica
Beneath the streets of a country that is bustling with tourism lies a society of disowned and abandoned teenagers who are forced into the sewers for shelter and protection solely because of their sexual orientation. With 85 percent of Jamaican citizens opposed to the legalization of same-sex marriage, homophobia is a cultural norm.As a result, its gay citizens are subjected to repeated harassment, abuse, and murder. With nowhere else to turn, their sanctuary is a storm drain. Even there, they are a target of police raids. In one instance, police burned all of the food and clothing that had been donated to them because they suspected theft.In the gullies, they section their rooms off with tattered sheets, sleeping on damp mattresses or cardboard boxes. Their living room is dark and muggy, the floors are scattered with trash, and the walls are decorated with graffiti. The storm drain floods with sewage when it rains, but if they go above ground they are met with death threats and subjected to rocks and trash being thrown at them. Unfortunately, the abusive environments of local shelters are actually worse than the storm drain, leaving many in the LGBT community with no choice but to call the sewers their refuge.

3 Las Vegas, Nevada
Below the neon, gambling, and endless hordes of tourists that dot the streets of Las Vegas, there are 320 kilometers (200 mi) of flood tunnels that 1,000 people call home. Individual rooms are 37 square meters (400 sq ft) and furnished with double beds, wardrobes, showers, paintings, and bookshelves, all lifted off the floor with concrete slabs so they can withstand the tunnel’s constant flooding. Scraps of carpet are laid out to make the place feel more homey, and the whole tunnel system is like one big art gallery, covered in complex graffiti.According to those who have interacted with the tunnel residents, many are recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder. They have sought solace in building a community beneath the streets of one of the United States’ most notorious cities, turning their struggles into productivity.But why do so many seek out the scorpion-filled tunnels as their home? Las Vegas tends to ignore the homeless, preferring to keep them out of sight and out of mind. According to reports by The Sacramento Bee, Nevada’s primary psychiatric care center, the Rawson-Neal Psychiatric Hospital, has unloaded more than 1,500 homeless patients across state lines via Greyhound buses. The city’s apathetic attitude toward the homeless leads many of them to feel they have no choice but to retreat to the underbelly of Sin City. Unfortunately, life beneath the streets takes a toll on many who are already suffering. Depression, addiction, and hopelessness is a way of life. The residents spend a majority of their time in damp and flooded conditions, having to constantly move their homes from space to space to avoid as much water damage as possible. Many of these underground residents search the casinos for leftover money, and one claims to have found a $1,600 winning sports ticket on the ground. Sadly, he used it to buy meth.

2 Mount Hebron, Palestine800px-Yatir_Forest,_Israel_no.1

About 1,000 Palestinians live in the caves of South Mount Hebron in the southern West Bank. The residents who flock to these caves are thought to have been living this subterranean lifestyle for centuries. They are a self-sustaining society, surviving off farming and the production of milk and cheese for their personal use as well as for profit by selling them to surrounding villages. There are no paved roads, so the residents travel by foot, horse, or donkey. No running water or electricity exists for these cave-dwellers, and any healthcare or education is solely derived from the generosity of nearby villages.In the 1970s, Israel marked off Mount Hebron as a military area, driving many of the residents out by destroying their homes and ignoring the violence inflicted on them by local settlers. Surveys of residents reveal that 88 percent of them report being victims of settler violence or having witnessed violence against a first-degree relative. These acts of cruelty include verbal and physical assault as well as theft of sheep and goats and even demolition of their water supplies. Unfortunately, many of these people are being driven out of caves that have been passed down through generations, forcing them to give up an important aspect of their heritage.

1 Shoyna, Russia
The small Russian village of Shoyna, located on the banks of the arctic White Sea, was originally built in the 1930s as the base for a fishing fleet. In the 1950s, the village’s mossy terrain began to dust over with sand, and whole buildings were soon buried beneath the granular substance. The sand moved in quicker during the 1980s, leaving most of the village completely buried. Shoyna’s population dwindled from 2,000 to just 375, most of whom have to enter their homes through their attics, sometimes through manholes they’ve had to carve into their roofs.While the cause of the sand dunes that have buried the village is relatively unknown, some believe it’s due to damage to the sea floor caused by fishing boats, which makes the sand start rising. Others believe that animals and trucks damaged the grass surrounding the village, allowing the sand to be dragged in by the wind. Shoyna receives their water from one well, medical advice from one doctor, and most of their supplies from cargo ships. That’s because the sandy terrain is too extreme for delivery trucks, and it’s too expensive to fly supplies in. Since digging a house out with a tractor is far too expensive and dangerous for the house’s structure, many have accepted this submerged lifestyle, noting their appreciation for the freedom they have there.
