"Her mother just married another man".

No matter the age a hoe is a hoe.

That is why her daughter is playing love triangle up and down.
.

But of a truth Simi loves to form bad girl too much. And it's not like she's tough.

While your post makes no sense whatsoever, it should have been "her mother just got married...." That was bad writing there.

aspirebig:
Who wrote down their DOB?

You dey mind them?

In Lagos.

Please indicate.

samuk:
You are funny, that was the port the European used in most of their trade with the Benin Empire starting around 1485AD. There is a BBC documentary on YouTube about this port and the Benin European relationship done in the 1970s. This was the route that was also used to established the Lagos monarchy about 300 years ago. It is estimated to be less than an hour journey by boat from the port to Lagos.

I'm not funny. I guess I haven't come across it or didn't pay enough attention in geography class. Recall also that it hasn't been in use for 40 years or so.

Bluffly:
I now see why Africans can never be respected worldwide. There is nothing and I mean absolutely nothing we do by ourselves. Despite the amount of foreign Education in this country, our engineers and technologist are very very unbearably dormant. Nothing to show for, no research or innovation. I weep for the Africa.

Sad.

PapaBrowne:
Well, I won’t respond to you the way you wrote. I would just ignore and be civil.

The problem with this kind of victim mentality is that it accords so much power to your perceived enemies which automatically suppresses your own power.

The rule of the game is to ensure that you don’t have to depend on the FG for anything concrete. The problem with every other port in Nigeria is that they are all import dependent. Everybody views port operations from the perspective of how they can access goods from overseas.
If you tweak that perspective and start thinking how you can ship goods first to other African countries and then subsequently to the rest of the world, then you’ll be unto something.
Lagos ports that everybody complains about doesn’t even export one tenth of what Onne and Delta ports export. These 2 ports control 85% of Nigeria’s exports even though it’s just oil.

The great thing about the Gelegele port plan is that it is tied to the massive industrial park which is already being built. And the industrial park is tied to AZura power plant which has been fully built. And the AZura plant is tied to the presence of a gas pipeline hub in Oben that connects much of the gas in the Niger Delta to the rest of the country.

So yes, I think the hegemony up North would try to prevent this from happening, but the Governor is smart and has Dangote heavily invested and we all know that anything Dangote touches moves with speed. So yes, this will see the light of day.

Brilliant post! Thank you.

lionjungle3000:
If you think this project will ever come to life, then you are mentally challenged. No SS or SE port will ever come to life without war...the plan is to only keep SW ports opened to make SE and SS dependent on One Nigeria while they continue to steal their oil. Keeping only SW ports opened makes Yorubaa to support One Nigeria because they are benefiting. Why do you think Yorubaas support One Nigeria despite the deaths and sufferings in the land? Even if Fulanis slaughter 5 million in Benue, Afonjas don't give a damn. This is what we call Strategic Compensatory Psychology.

Edo people ask yourselves...why have They not open the ports in SS(Port Harcourt, Calabar, Onne and Warri) to function to the capacity of Lagos ports, yet they are telling you that another one will be built in the same SS? Edo people use your sense nah.

Watch as Afonjas will attack me...because they know deep in their heart that this port will never come to fruition and are angry I'm exposing them.

Sir, do you have a precedent for what you claim? I mean, was there a state governor in the SS and SE that commenced the building of a port but was frustrated by Yorubas and Fulanis?

PapaBrowne:
This guy is a doer.

While other states would typically be begging the federal government to come and build for them, Obaseki is pushing ahead and ahead.

Edo State would be the first state to successfully build a world class Port.

The beauty is that the Gelegele Port is not built with imports in mind but with exportation of manufactured Agro/ Allied Produce.
The port is tied to the N200billion Benin Industrial Park which is already being built.
The park is tied to the 1000MW AZura power project. The first phase of 450MW has been test run and would be ready for commissioning in a few months.

Yea. I didn't give Obaseki a chance during the election but he's surprising me so far.

docadams:
OP, the Gelegele seaport has been in the pipeline for a long time. Hope the project sees the light of day. Is there a motorable road to Gelegele from Benin. Also does the govt have any intention of rehabilitating the Siluko River Port . It was really a very useful port when it was functional and immensely boosted the localeconomy of the Iguobazuwa-Siluko axis. It also provided alternative means of transportation of goods from Lagos to Benin back then.

You mean there's a water route from Benin to Lagos? I didn't know that.

micfoley:
Shocking if true

I agree. It looks a bit peppered up and political (note the insertion of names like El-Rufai and Buhari for effect). But some of it is likely true.

What's with the soldiers?

ZorGBUooeh:
Ijaws are indeed great..I feel the peace talk has sumting to do with the ijaw attack on one community days back..Violence is truly the only language an oppressive black man understands.

The Ijaw have been attacking communities recently? And you think that's a good thing? How many people did you kill?

aumeehn:
I dont know if its the cold or a disease, i went for Data capture last week monday for my E passport, the fingerprint scanner couldn't scan my fingerprints, so the immigration officer handling my case told me to wash my hands with diesel and apply olive oil for a week, i have been doing it since last week Tuesday still no improvement and tomorrow is monday, i really need to get this passport because the deadline for my school application is on 10th of this month. Please Nairalanders i need help!!!

Lalasticlal please help move this thread to the frontpage i need help urgently!!

There's a name for the condition of being born without fingerprints: Adermatoglyphia. I listened to a programme on it once on the BBC World Service. That may not be your case though, but it's possible.

Cook it. Well. The darn tapeworms when cooked along with it will enhance the taste.

Heywhizzy:
Nice read.. Slavery was kinda like a blessing in disguise.. Most of our greatgrandparents who were slaves ended up being Americans why the rest suffered here in Nigeria

Slavery involved real human beings who suffered real suffering. It was no blessing, disguise or no disguise. Do you have sense at all?

dominique:
She should go to the bank and lodge a complaint, if she's lucky they can help her block the thief's account and make a reversal.

She really messed up sha, she should insisted that he gives her the money first before she makes the transfer. Otherwise he should get lost. Why on earth would she follow a complete stranger to his car in these perilous times when kidnap and rituals are at an all time high. Too bad she had to learn about how these heartless criminals operate the hard way.

Same thing I was thinking. She can at least try since she has his name and all.

NwaChibuzor13:
To me the herbalist haven't committed any crime. His own job was to administer oaths and not to kill. He should be freed and allowed to continue his hustle.

He has committed a crime. It's a case of accessory to murder.

Ishilove:
In African tradition it is the man who owns the child once he has legally married the mother, so the Efik ceremony is not necessary. It's just marriage according to Yoruba culture that should be done

This is reactionary. He's well within his bounds to choose either. But I agree it's superfluous to do two.

sarrki:
Fani is just too good

He knows how to play on peoples emotions

As in ehn?!

FortifiedCity:
Since this fuel ish started, I have not used my generator. And I think I'm beginning to like the feeling

It's not only you. For the first time, NEPA (or whatever they're called now) actually stepped up on my hood.

tiredoflife:
Using a verse of the word of God to promote this
Not cool
You can't try this with Islam
But Christians will share this most

That's because the Quran is not integrated into English idioms and figurative expressions the way the Bible is. The genie is out of the bottle. You can't take the Bible back to the days when only the elite could read it because it was in Latin. Chill.

thebosstrevor:
difference between poor and young middle class Nigerians

poor nigerians-religious and very conservative
middle class-open minded,less religious

That's the general pattern in most societies, except that in Nigeria "class" is far less definable and you find a great many "middle class" folks with "poor" mentality.

lalanice:
Smh...just for a movie date? So u want to be chating and watching?? anyway good idea tho, I'm coming lemme coman open my own thread for those in Edo with all these criteria except d gisting part.
.... If u write like me forget it.....I'm with the op on DAT

Sure, open it. I may even reply since I will be in Edo in January.

sisisioge:
Biko if you are sharing movie tickets inbox me two...many thanks

Of course! Anything for Sisi. Just tell your people to get in touch with my people.

MrBrownJay1:
... then get married in January and divorce in February....ARRANT NONSENSE from people who have no respect for marriage!

Ha!

Sapiosexuality:
Wrong diagnosis. I'm done with this argument. I'm not paid to argue here.

Good. It's not good to argue endlessly. It's far better to actually learn the facts.

Sapiosexuality:
The media attack against that troublesome man is just too much. I follow NowThis and NowThis Politics, two American pages, on Facebook and I've seen hate on the man to know what a media attack is.

Trump can do no good but Hilary and Obama are good people. I don't buy that narrative. Even though I don't consider Trump a good person, I don't think Hillary and Obama are better. The media is against the man but he doesn't care.

So what is the media supposed to do? Ignore his shenanigans? It's this kind of thinking that made people vote for a reprobate - it's the media, media, media. Are the media making up things about him? Didn't the media report errors made by Obama and Hillary? I doubt anyone wants you to buy any "narrative", but if you want to know whether Obama is a better person, why not learn something about both men?

dustmalik:
This has to be a joke

Probably. Sounds like parody. I doubt the president of a group like Ohaneze would say this.

Purebeerry:
I know but these nairaland guys are something else, he will claim you went to his house.

Pathetic.

By all means, DON'T respond if you feel this isn't the sort of thing for you. I am a grown man who treats people with utmost respect, and I’m hoping to hear from a grown lady who knows enough about life and about these things to know that going out on a movie date does not commit you to someone and that the fact there are bad people in the world doesn’t mean the rest of us should give up and not live.

he say he is cool with feminism.. Broke ass oshi

That's a very intelligent deduction you've made. This is why I love NL.
