You have a point but my disappointment is that you allowed the actions of two paranoid unknown white skinned american women to inspire this write up. And more sadly they made you look down on yourself and people. Yes Africa and Africans are always protrayed in bad light. But from your write up that area or route seems not to have the best of security. The women might have heard stories about the area same as you. Same way you were security conscious of the surrounding by going the extra length to making sure you have enough gas so as to not get stranded in that area in as much as that area is dominated by white skinned folks is same way they became security conscious on sighting a male approaching them in that area. May be it was your appearance some people just naturally have a bad mean appearance or maybe they were just being paranoid or maybe they saw a dark skinned man. But you opted for the later. They might have acted same if a menacing white skinned male was approaching them. Or they might have acted differently if a very good looking young dark skinned male approached or a dark skinned priest approached. I am sure you wouldn't have come up with this write up. if similar actions were taken by 2 dark skinned women. Which then begs the question "are you being racist against yourself?" We as a dark skinned people must not succumb to seeing ourselves the way people of other race sees us. There is absolutely nothing wrong with us. Africans are indeed wonderful people. If the wrong set of people assume power and deny their people food, quality education and basic human amenities no matter the race of people they would find themselves exactly if not worse than africa. same way their are notorious african american neighbourhoods and a person whether white or dark skinned becomes security conscious at the sight of a dark skinned man when they are in those neighbourhood is same way there are notorious white american neighbourhoods and a white or dark skinned person becomes security conscious on sighting a white skinned man in that neighbourhood . The difference is the notorious african neighbourhood is over publicized and blown out of proportion.

Dear sir,

I congratulate u for embarking on such a Biz venture and I pray u reap the rewards of ur labour. I actually wanted to start this palm oil refining Biz, but after some thoughts and calculations, I discovered that it was highly capital intensive.

Also, I've been planning on how to set a palm oil filling station (Just like fuel stations) whereby the oil will be dispensed with the aid a pump. I've done the whole planning, but its still highly capital intensive.

Pls I need ur input on this.
This is my number:07038896503.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Congratulations once again.

The factory big o. Wish I had money to set something like this up in my state and around my hometown: an area notorious of its palm tree concentration.

× that will reduce the already spiralling crime rate.
× create massive employment.
× boost the economy of Nigeria by steering it towards agriculture.

I don't think it is possible to petition my state government to build something like this around the said area sha.

@ Op speaktome is there an automated system like this that can convert cassava into garri?

It's called foundational or inherited foundational sin.
The village settings signifies your foundation.
The broom and the sweeping means: a foundational dirt(sin) that needs to be clean.
So,in essence, the lord says; something is wrong with your foundation and there's an inherited foundational sin troubling your life which must be sweep before u can be free.
Perhaps you've been praying(i can see that) but there is something you are not doing right hence while you are being mocked or laughed at.
Meaning, you've been praying and seeking God to fight for you but heaven seems close, is as if your prayers are bouncing back and that's because you are not doing something right hence while you are being mocked by this foundational SIN. Hmmmm what a world!!!
Bless u.
Pray this prayers;
Foundational powers,sin mocking me' I expose your source of mocking over me.

police r not being paid properly so dnt expect a credible result from them.Govt need to strengthen our law enforcement.better incentives will motivate them.how do u expect police to perform when some good-4-nothing,money-gulping buffoons r up there embezzling billions? we hv no police,wat we hv are KAI officers dressed in police uniforms

Obiagu1:
Who are Boko Haram?
Do they wear uniform?
Do they have a base?

Ask the Americans and the Pakistanis what it is to fight insurgence.

The menace has come to stay in Nigeria. They were bred over the years by the Northern elites that turned them to radicals and used them against Christians and southerners but unfortunately for them, their chicken has come home to roost.

What I foresee is complete anarchy in Northern Nigeria. Anarchy!

Everyone should accept the fact, Somali has come to Nigeria, so deal with it.

One Nigeria!

damola1:
Let them outsource Nigeria to better managers. The waste of limited resources is too enormous, We should just outsource Nigeria.

the immediate reaction of the police is far below the magnitude of the bombing incident,

just watched on TV the police spokesperson was reading out a prepared speech like a primary school pupil reading out a storybook

even the words they are using are so soft, it looks as if its a natural disaster that they are referring to

The Inspector-General of Police Hafiz Abubakar Ringim, NPM, mni has expressed his displeasure over the suicide bomb attack on vehicles parked at the Force Headquarters, Abuja car park.

[b]The [b]unfortunate incident which led to the death of the suicide bomber and a Police traffic warden occurred at about 1100hrs of 16/06/2011 when the suicide bomber vehicle was intercepted and directed to the car park for searching and checking.
[/b][/b]
The Traffic Warden who entered the vehicle of the suicide bomber to direct him to the car park was blown off along with him as soon as they got to the car park.

The IGP wises a appreciate the efforts of the fire service and the team of armed forces fire service who promptly responded to put off the fire.

The body of the suicide bomber has been recovered and a full investigation has commenced.

Members of the public are assured that the criminal elements behind this dastardly attack will be fished out as the government, the Police and other security agencies will not succumb to the demand of any criminal group or individual.

the tone is just too soft and passive

Ystranger:
I wish we could employ foreign experts as Presidents and VP and Senators

I personally would prefer we hire Bill Clinton and John Kerry as President/VP respectively

John Kerry as Senate President, Tony Blair as speaker, Hillary Clinton as Majority leader, Larry summers as CBN governor

More experts cant be bad for us, abi?

ajigglin:
seconded. when a bid is announced, there are requirements that must be met, namely budgetary. obviously, these are the only two companies that could afford what the bid was asking for. i would say that they should try to get at least one more candidate, but if these are the only two companies that can do the work, that is what you are stuck with.

zayzee:
Dimeji Bankole, Iyabo Obasanjo, Dora Akuyili, Alao Akala, Mohammedu Buhari, Nuhu Ribadu, Orji Kalu etc
These popular politicians were defeated in the just concluded elections. What career advice would you give to them. Mine are below

-Dora should return to the university(Open a Drug Shop in Onitsha Main Market)
-Akala should set up a security company being a former policeman(Get the Distributor for TURA Soaps in Dugbe Market)
-Iyabo should set up a vet clinic(Retire to Ota Farm as Chief Vet doctor for Baba's poultry)
-Orji owns The Sun Newspaper, he should become a columnist(Open Newspaper stand at Brass junction by Aba-Oweeri Road)
-Buhari should become EFCC new boss. He can fight corruption(Please accept with humility the position of EFCC boss with the sole mandate of cleansing the National Assembly of looters for us PLS ! ! !)
-Ribadu should set up a youth NGO(Contact Madam World Bank for further advice)

What do you advice them to do?
