Dead in the night,a guy with a lady parked by the road and u expect proper security men not to pu over & check u people out?Gosh!

I wasn't parked with a lady, i parked and she stepped out immediately.

Sooo, the possibility of any "f-ondling" goes out the window.

besides, why would they all just jump out like some Rambo movie

ademasta:
Nawa o

d tin shock me bros.

like maybe they were there to rob me or something.

they probably wanted money one way or the other i guess.

My dear friends, I'm here to recant what happened to me a few nights ago along lekki highway.

Went out clubbing with this girl in VI, got tired and decided to leave at around 12:30a.m.

She was going to Ajah and I told her that I can't go that far, but I can make it to chevron or VGC so we can find her a cab that won't charge that much to take her the rest of the way.

So we just pulled over ooo, on the side of the road and she stepped down. Please note that when I say the side of the road, I don't mean like how danfos stop on the road itself (the third lane on the right), no! I mean on the bushy part, the shoulder, that doesn't obstruct traffic at all. Sort of how you are supposed to pull over, when you have car troubles.

That's how ooooo, not up to 1 minute, one rickety car just stormed into my front. I panicked a bit, like, "am I about to get robbed ", only for me to see that out of the 4 guys that stepped out, two had on police uniforms, but all were kitted with AK47s.

At that very moment, she stepped back in the car and shut the door asking "men!! what do these guys want".


Honestly, at this point, my panic meter had hit 100% and before you could say Jack Robins... I had hit the gas pedal all the way, like, alllll the way down. At this point, one of them hit the glass on my car with the top of his gun as i was scurrying through the gravel and all the while i was just praying "don't shoot", "don't shoot".

They attempted to give chase, but... V6 baby

I floored that car like my life depended on it men. Must have hit 200km at some point. The girl kept shouting, "they're coming, they're coming!", but they weren't coming for long

I'm just happy that, 1 - I was driving a v6, 2 - the road was free and 3 - they didn't shoot


Please someone tell me, when has it become a crime to pull over on the side of the road

Or is it cause a girl stepped out of my vehicle cause the way they all just jumped out wielding their big guns, sent panic signals right down my spine.

what is wrong with these useless police

Tufia

Min wage is now 40 dollars

Someone please flush d toilet, cus this country stinks

If the government can't provide adequate and proper drainage systems, they could at the least, get trucks to pump out water from flood affected roads.

In an ideal situation, you'd have underground drainage that can't be polluted and clogged with garbage (as the garbage would have no access in the first place), coupled with water pumping trucks on standby, waiting to suck up water from roads that are in bad shape.

Our generation needs to get it right!! Most of us are already exposed, but somehow, we keep letting selfish, short-sighted, tribalistic and sometimes, outright dumb people to get the job, sigh

DropShot:
Excellent submission.

Where one's right ends is where another's begins. You have a right to stretch your arms as you wish but you have no right blocking me from passing. The Igbo man was provoking a reaction which could have led to serious fight. The Hausa man did well by reporting him. The police didn't handle the issue well by detaining him beyond 24 hours for a civil offence but that may have saved him from being attacked by the Hausa man.

****

so my right ends because of what i name my dog and inscribe on its body

are you even reading what you wrote ****

[size=18pt]Where one's right ends is where another's begins[/size]

****

i don't even know where or how to tackle that diarrhea u spewed up there

so naming my dog is the end of my right and the beginning of my neighbors

First of . . . you need to get the story straight.

I posted the bellow on same thread.
The complainant was a Mr. Buhari, a neighbor who felt offended. Agreed, the dog owner has the legal right to name his pet any name, fine, the northerners are easily offended (which I find appalling), but incitement to disturb the peace is a serious one.

According to the report, the man not only named his dog 'Buhari', his neighbor's name ( probably they were best of enemies), he wrote it on both sides of the dog -- that's overly mischievous, and a threat to public peace.

The location matters (he has a neighbour by that name). I remember naming my dog Hitler in the mid 90s (thinking he will be fierce, dog was as timid as a mouse . . . ended up being stolen and eaten by some neighbour), but that was in Ibadan (the average resident in my area then could careless, that is if they even know who or what Hitler represents) it would have been f00lish and insensitive to do that in a Jewish community, German community, even anywhere in Europe, or have a jewish neighbour.

We need to learn to live with each other in peace, even we think twice before naming our kids, checking to see how it will be perceived, that does not mean we do not have a right to.

It is not everything you have a right to, that you exercise your right on.

BTW, I think this should be a civil case, and the guy shouldn't be behind bars for over a week now, but this is a reflection of our immature justice system, that protects only the rich or influential.

This is by far the daftest shhh i have ever read in my life


What really is the matter with Nigerians It's like for every sane person you see, there are 10 insane people like the poster above I just quoted.

Freaking disgusting, wish i could slap ur wretched face, but alas i can't and that irks me

so naming my property whatever I want should depend on my location

what the fvck is wrong with the citizens of this country

Well they elected Buhari a man who only shot his way into office in the past, so that should give you some insight to their intellectual capabilities. Electing a gun toting criminal again in 2015, daft bunch.

i hate u all, daft murrafvkers, bish nigggah, panzie, assswipe, shhitwad, the daftest murrafvcker that ever lived, mtcheew

bish

U go wait tire op, mtcheew

U never even see as person go just stand spread leg for gutter, remuv is peniiis and start pissing into the neighborhood toilet (I mean gutter), while smiling at u (with his peniis not his face )

Nigerians love their open gutters, how else will they pee, or throw away their trash, or shower, or even make love

The open smelly gutter, filled with green, brown, black and yellow substances is a national treasure my friend, a national treasure.

Only someone like the op rossikki will be heartless enough to recommend genocide of a whole species just to make "progress", don't u know that mosquitoes are people too

So in conclusion, I conclude

What a daft police force, my goodness

So daft
So so daft

Sooooo daft

Okay, so the government has done its job on some roads by providing clear lane markings, yet some or most motorists in Nigeria take these lane markings simply as decorations

I get soooooooo angry driving in Lagos sometimes, that I find myself cursing almost everyone.

Do they even realize how dangerous it is

You will be driving in ur lane, then some animal would now leave his lane and start veering into urs, like da fvck

What is so hard in driving straight and using ur turn signals when ready to switch lanes

Honestly, if I was white, I'd be a racist after witnessing this sort of jungle driving. I'd think that blacks are animals, true story.

The most annoying one is on a 3 lane road like lekki epe, when I'm driving on the extreme left lane and some mudafvcker in the middle lanenow has half of his car in his lane and the other half in my lane. In essence almost pushing me into the concrete sepetator on my left.

Why am I a Nigerian sef, why am I black

Don't even get me started with danfos and conductors hanging on the back of busses like real animals.

No law enforcement, nothing. Fvcking annoying

Last week, we had to pray to God for a blink, just a blink, like 1 blink

Now, for the past 4 days its almost been like 24/7 or should I say 24/4

Anyways, fate smiles on us today, but who knows what the future holds


Winter is coming

If this is true, then the president just went from Dullarpo to President Buhari.

Kudos! Now release KANU and other common sense things and become an even greater person.

As for NYSC, burn in hell

isn't life funny

hypocrisy is so silent sometimes that the afflicted often go unaware of their condition. Heck, even I may be a hypocrite at times, guess we all have to keep checking ourselves on a daily basis.

on this thread, people are saying "Yes!, Yes! Lock him up and throw away the key", when he should be out on bail, yet...

yet...

yet, on this same nairaland, I just read a topic about a guy who was illegally detained by the Nigerian police and had to be bailed out with 30k.

Do you see the hypocricy yet


I will never condone pilfering, but can we do things according to the law in the country

if you are rejoicing that Nnamdi Kanu is still locked up under trumped up charges, then who is to say you may not be locked up tomorrow under the same trumped up charges Oh! my bad, it already happens as I just pointed out regarding the such topic on the front page.

Are you a hypocrite Ask yourself this question today

234GT:
Who will now care for the children after their parents have been jailed for life? In this harsh economy where adoption agencies and hospices are struggling to survive?

There should be a punishment, but not one that will take the parents away from their responsibilities.

Some have far long abjugated their responsibilities, so locking them up wouldn't take away what they never had.

As for the children I did mention adoption as a way out to save them as they are innocent in all this.

Have you ever come across a woman with upwards of five little kids at a street corner begging for alms To me this is wickedness, if such a parent knowingly puts children who should all be in school through such hardship.

Their mates are at school learning, while they are doomed to begging at such a tender age.

It's very typical for we Nigerians to ignore indices and statistical reports, as we enjoy living for the day and not tomorrow.

I must admit I am a bit guilty of this in my personal life as well. Tell me you'd give me one vanilla ice cream today, or 10 in a weeks time and I'll probably choose to get the one today

However, for more serious aspects of life, proper planning cannot be overstated.

We have a population problem in this country and its one that seems to be getting worse.

Already, we are close to 200 million (stand to be corrected here) and we keep pushing and pushing our population figures upward without a correlating upwards push of skill acquisitions for this population.

So what we have is a black hole so to speak. A black consumer hole, one that sucks resources without giving birth to anything substantiable.

In order to ensure a productive population, it follows that each person must be empowered with proper education, training and resources. However, what we have in Nigeria is a situation were selfish people bring more children into this world than they can comfortably afford to care for, hence those children mostly go untrained, lacking education and the requisite resources needed to add their quota to the Nigerian society.

Given this connondrum we presently find ourselves, I suggest a bill be passed by the senate, criminalizing the act of birthing a child without providing for said child.

Offendants should be locked up and their children taken away from them and given to adoption agencies.

This may sound cruel, but I believe it to be a step in the right direction.

This is one of those steps needed to envoke a long term change in this country, it is obviously not a short or medium term plan. Its a plan that will yield its harvest within the next generation of Nigerians.

This is like sooooo backward in my opinion. Almost like when blacks back in the day sold themselves for mirrors and shhh.

Though I applaud the strides Lagos is making, even though the pace is below par, my gripe is all this useless fan-fare.

So a whole minister of power, works and housing, along with the finance minister had to tag along with a whole VP to commission a road built with interlocking stones

What kind of message does this really pass across

Ambode, ever since you painted those police cars and pasted the 112 number on them, I've given u props, but this right here is B.S men and you should know it.

I wish for you to step up your game so much so that you get to a point were things like these sort of roads don't even need to be commissioned.

A project like Eko Atlantic is worthy of commissioning. A space programme, refinery, research facilities, education for all... These are things worth commissioning in my humble opinion, not inner roads built with interlocking stones.

catlova2:
Please close the thread. Op no get sense.

I see no relationship in the two.


One person cannot finish a bag of rice in 6months.



No b by force to create topic

bet still, don't u think its sad that one can barely afford a bag of rice after working legitimately for one whole month

I predict chaotic traffic tomorrow

Hope they handle it well, if not, Lagosians please pack the following items:

-Two bottles of 50cl water
-1bowl of a light meal (rice, potatoes)
-one pee jar for men, women if you have to pee in the car, then ur OYO
-phone charger
-multiple downloaded movies and songs.
-2 spare gala


Good luck out there tomorrow.

I just loaded some airtime on my etisalat and I got this notification, asking me if I want to get 50mb of data and 900 naira to call any network, all for just 300 naira.

That is a deal men!! Here I have been, blowing 1k after 1k credit, when I could just have signed up for this plan.

I know the data isn't much, but I have unlimited internet, so I just need calls and boy, this is a sweet deal.

So if I load 1k now, I can just use tiny 300 naira to get 900 naira, just like that, awesome!!

I just feel like I've made a huge discovery.

Next would be to find where they have a deal on petrol, like 50 naira/liter anything is possible!

Most Nigerians don't realise we've been living in The Matrix. This subsidy removal is the red pill that may wake us up to reality.
We are poor. We are broke. We've been raped, pillaged, looted and left for dead.
All these years our economy has been sustained on the junk food of corruption. We have kwashiorkor but because we look chubby we think we are healthy.
Those two bedrooms in Abuja going for N700 million. Those make up artists charging 500k and pre-wedding photo shoots for 700k. Aso ebi for 90k. Buying Rolexes and Ferraris. Range Rover Sport all over Lagos like keke napep.
It is all fake. It's all a mirage. We've all been living off the spoils of corruption. That's why the country is so hard now. No money circulating. Because no money to steal and rent flats and shops for girlfriends. For civil servants to pay bogus tithes of N500k. For senators to spray dollars at their daughters' weddings. For lagos big boys to spend N2m every Friday night at nightclubs.
It's time to face reality. The party is over. Now we may see the real Nigeria and Nigerians.
Now that money will go into our roads and bridges and hospitals. It will benefit those who don't have a rich corrupt uncle with connections in oil and gas. Those who can't travel to Dubai to celebrate birthdays. Those who don't know what Coldstone ice cream tastes like.
Hopefully the real estate markets will crash. The thieves with 15 houses in abuja will be forced to sell them fast for cash. I would prefer if EFCC seized and auctioned them, though.
All those in the service industry will have to revaluate their pricing. You can't charge 500k to paint faces anymore; free money don finish.
Welcome to the real world

So what about the hardworking Nigerians, must we suffer too

You brag about no money like it's a good thing.

Just because politicians steal doesn't mean everyone steals.

Anyway, guess we are all gonna suffer together huh

Guys are funny men.

People are now saying Nigerians aren't striking because they trust buhari, like really

So you trust 350 naira to a dollar

Do you guys realize that it now takes N350,000 just to get a thousand dollars These are real issues that are affecting people.

These class of people would still trust buhari even if a dollar gets to N500. That would mean it would take N500,000 just to get a thousand dollars

Let that sink in
What is the gain in being a zombie in these times Fighting for the government when at the end of the day, their policies may further impoverish you

Even if you think you are poor now, what happens when you can't even afford that garri anymore


About this issue of petrol price protest, we are not even sure if the subsidy has been removed or if its due to currency value.

If its subsidy and you are supporting no subsidy now, what would happen when the price of oil rises to $80 in the int market

Would you really be prepared to pay N250 per liter That is 5 liters for N1,250. 20 liters for your gen at N5,000.

Then would you now make a u-turn to support subsidy

If it's about currency value, then why is NNPC also selling at 145 when they should get the dollar at the official rate

If even the NNPC can't get the dollar at the official rate, then who is getting the dollar at the official rate? cause I know I'm not!!

If 90% of the country can't get the dollar at the official rate, then what is the point of the official rate

These are questions needing answers, scenarios mostly bad that need to be avoided. This is not the time to be a zombie just cause you think you're lifeisnt worth anything. You are worth something my dear zombie friends, so question your government for the benefit of your future and that of the country's future.

We have a very high population rate in this country, coupled with a high illiteracy rate in such a small land mass.

We have failed in family planning sensitization in this country.

Yet we keep growing! I don't know if I'd be willing to live in a Nigeria were our population has become 500 million and illiteracy still high. Recipe for disaster!!!

Its called "Hail" brah!!

tuale4u:
he is partially correct. because d new price is base on 285naira to a dollar.

So we are officially screwed huh

Damn! What a country.

Peoples savings just loosing purchasing power ever so rapidly. In the last one year, purchasing power must gave crashed by a huge percentage.

100k in the bank could buy you 1,163 litres of petrol last year, now that same 100k can only buy you 690 litres of petrol

989900:
The government needs to provide buses to alleviate this . . . I guess there was a thread suggesting this.

Can we ever get UK style planning in this shhitthole country?

Planned bus routes and scheduling would really help.

Extreme bus maintainace is required also, so that even if its just a screw that needs replacing, it gets replaced asap. Buses need air conditioning to be fully functional at all times. As a matter of fact, there should be a rule were buses without air conditioning can't be used for public transport.

Before people call me a dreamer, if it can be done and is presently being done abroad, why can't we do it here I'm tired of suffering in this country, high fuel, no electricity, blah blah blah.

In the UK, you even have bus maps for crying out loud. So you can sync with Google maps and plan your trip via buses even if you're a first timer. Here, just rackety danfos that wouldn't even agree to come to a full stop before they let you out and ratchet brt buses.

I'm tired men

ckmayoca:
Wetin me wey dey use V6 engine do and spends 45min in to and fro traffic everyday. I beg who go teach how to ride bike.

Men, I love a v6, but yeah, u pay for what you get

I used to race up and down with an 8 cylinder before and watch my gauge literally drop down before my eyes in minutes

My 4 cylinder Toyota now is pretty fuel efficient, but I'm still hurting.

bet osinbajo said, price hike is because of currency, not removal of subsidy

145 naira for petrol!! I'm still working on believing this shhh

When I was pumping my gas today, I just kept staring, gawking even, at that price per liter, 145 and smh
