I really want to thank you all who take his/her time to pray/encourage me to ensure the Aboki is found, but the good news is that he has been found.

Thank you all.

Perfect! I came back to the thread hoping for a positive update.

Welcome to marriage and married woman typology 101. You have to put your foot down. Don't play defense and don't go running to her relatives to report her. Let her know that you are the boss in this house. Instructions and rules come from you and not the other way around.

As a mature man, what you will desire the most is peace of mind in YOUR OWN home. This peace is not a given, you have to fight for it, and demand it, it's just like respect.

If you give people in general, not just women, an inch, they will take a mile. You lie so they trample over you yet they would say you're not flat enough.

Take charge

The funny thing is those Scandinavian countries are much more expensive than the UK.

For sure, that's why you have comparatively few Africans there and everything is chill.

The high cost requirement is their border gate.

tensazangetsu20:
In the near future a lot of countries will require block funds for living expenses and will ensure your whole tuition fee is paid before coming.

Before nko. UK and Canada's laxity is a serious flex for many. Scandinavian or core EU countries want their complete money including block funds in advance and yet you only get a year Post study.

As more immigrants continue to abuse these opportunities, they will switch up and lock the gates.

I know people in Abuja who zoom out once its Friday to their farms in Keffi, Suleja, Abaji and other Niger state environs to tend to their farms. That is what brings the bulk money by year end. The salary job in Abuja is just to maintain the day to day lifestyle.

Now this is what we need. track phone calls within Abuja and North central states and ping for keywords and locations. Its high time we have tech like this already being used by our intelligence operatives.

[quote author=peretei2024 post=128048101][/quote]Just do what you can on monday, I predict they will find him before then. He would likely find someone who speaks the same language and who would also have a phone. Once he mentions some names, they would be able to connect and locate who he has been staying with.

This situation can snowball and get out of hand. Don't go to your friend's shop just yet. Inform her about the whole thing on the phone. Now you have to track a radius of about 2km from your place. Check all the Hausa settlements/mosques within these areas as well. That's where he would likely go if he gets lost. That's hoping the guy hasn't gone far. How many days has this event happened? The earlier the better.

You can also check the police stations around in case they have him.

If these mallams do not see their brother, they would come for the woman who would in turn come for you and by that time, you can't speak Hausa to defend yourself. Police no go save you o.

LexusGs430 I know, who are you?

Gadafii:
have you seen bandits wielding random purpose machine guns blocking a high way before

These guys are loaded with wicked weapons because they have the money to buy them, they don’t just move around in trucks like boko haram did otherwise they would have been mountain forests with gun trucks

Abi No be these ragtag bandits shoot down helicopter few months ago, Dey play??

I get you but the common guns bandits wield are rifles: rapid fire with long range. They practically have little need for handguns. Most of the time I see footage or reports about them, its AKs, not pistols or shotguns. Things may have changed perhaps, I'm not a bandit

Why are they fielding Western sidearms all of a sudden? I thought terrorists commonly use Ak47s.

These weapons are too sophisticated to be used by rag-tag bandits.

@kutunban

You have an interesting view of the whole charade right there. 🤔

It is what he said. If you checked the relevant comments under that post on X, it wasn't about the nudity but more about what was on the laptop screen.

On more than one occasion, once Forbes puts a Nigerian on their cover page, next thing is the person is caught for fraud.

I believe Mr Tope Awotona is legit though

I wish him the beest with hi parkour skills. He should only remember he is Afriica and not osme developed country. Even stuntmen with far-more daring skills are gone and forgotten today

A tragedy.

The long black robes of these Russian agents is always intimidating. Some even have fake hands propping the robes while their real hands are hidden within the jacket, finger on the trigger of a long automatic rifle.

Isn't it high time these crappy hotels start getting their managers and staff jailed when horrible incidents like this occur? What is the use of the KYC when they can't identify culprits who use their institutions as a base for criminal activities? If proper verified identification is obtained before lodging guests, murderers like this won't escape and crimes like this won't go unpunished.

So ladies cannot follow men to hotels with peace of mind again. Na wa o

So it's Nepal now. Of all places. Do we ever learn?

The MQ-1 predator was commissioned in 1995 (28 years ago) and retired in 2018 (5years ago). Just the presence of one of these babies will make any terror group think twice about their activities.

Under-20s are building military drones in small rooms in Ukraine capable of recon and delivering lethal damages on unfortunate targets.

I doubt if our over 60 year old armed forces even have night-vision googles. I don't know what they expect a drone like this to achieve, such a heavy and noisy gadget with no speed or altitude.

Our forces still have to engage bandits in direct fire fights where they take casualties even in the 21st century. Our problem is root deep.

The only thing I can safely assume about this geopolitical tension is that the communists are planning a big event this year. those meetings between Russia, china, North Korea will have some ripples in the near future.

I once lived in a Secondary school quarters back in the 90s. My mum was a principal. We had just 4 houses in the school estate and the school had a transformer to itself. The day that transformer blew up was the beginning of night darkness until we left that place 7 months later. The school had no funds to replace the transformer and 4 civil servants cannot come up with the required funds either.

It literally reshaped our lives as we had to do every household chore in the time period between when we get back home from school and when night falls. All electronic gadgets were rendered redundant except for those powered by batteries: transistor radios. Thank goodness there were no mobile phones/computers then. I still wonder how we survived for so long

terrible

If anything, buying and selling is a business that had remained resilient in the Nigerian economy from ages past. You just need the right business mix of your marketing Ps.

If you're inclined to earn USD, perhaps you can try
- investing in US stock
- to start an exportation business in agro commodities
- master a hard skill you can offer virtually for USD or better still double down on a niche within Law: Intellectual property, Technology or something else.

Those ballistic missiles are wonders of science.

It would be unwise to start a war however. Nobody wins eventually.

Processing...

michlins:
RV isn't for the poor. They're luxury vehicles meant for the rich and people with trust funds

I agree

ibinaboonline:
By big rigs, I suppose you're referring to RVs, right? They're certainly great for their purposes but are in a different territory from what this van is made for. I get your point, though. The nomad life isn't for everyone. And yes, you're right, $43,000 should pay for a duplex in Nigeria. Wow.

Exactly why I referred to RVs in my first post.

ravensckar:
How to identify a typical Nigerian; they don't read about a topic before commenting.

Firstly, it's a CAMPING VAN to provide travellers/campers with maximum comfort in the road. They never said it's a substitute for permanent apartment. Make una dey try read before una comment nau.

Secondly, travelling from Lagos to Maiduguri in this VAN will definitely be much more comfortable than travelling in normal vehicles (insecurity aside). That's the point! Unless of course you prefer to suffer, this is definitely a much more comfortable travelling car for those who can afford it. Calling it a waste of money (for those who can afford it) is a display of ignorance. Na new year be this abeg, make una dey think before una type.

Mr educated, thanks for taking the time out to explain. If you're so well read, perhaps you would learn to reflect on what you read and understand satire.

Needless to say, your 'typical' exotic citizenship inhibits you from such thinking.

You'd be wise to take some of your own medicine.

ibinaboonline:
Valid points, that is until you realize how much this van is expected to cost.

They cost as much as a duplex but can't contain jack.

It has an estimated starting price of $43,000. Not quite the price of a duplex. You couldn't even buy the Ram Trackhawk with that.

Don't forget to offload your excrements and reload (limited) water ever 2 days as well.

This van comes with double strategically installed 10-liter tanks. One for clean water storage, and the other for waste water from the kitchen sink and stuff.

Buses for money miss road people

😄😄It's actually for the Van Life. You know what that is, right?

I am familiar with the van life and that's the reason I said you have to offload your stuff every few days.

Talking about a duplex, $43,000 would build a duplex in Nigeria here. In comparison, if you're to go for the big rigs that are more spacious than this mid size van, you would be spending a pretty penny.

In that case, move your wife and children plus yourself into the van. I believe y'all will live comfortably.

These RVs are just pointless to me. They cost as much as a duplex but can't contain jack. Tiny bed, tiny kitchen and living space. Don't forget to offload your excrements and reload (limited) water ever 2 days as well.

Buses for money miss road people

Edit:

I think my 'money miss road' phrase is out of context, its more like people wey don chop belleful.

The map below tells a story

Eriokanmi:
I smell something like rat here. That's how they hit us, all of a sudden, after making Google drive free to billions of users globally for years. After they allowed many to enjoy it for free and store heavy,important and sensitive files on Google drive, they now Limited the space one could occupy. Once you filled up the space, you'd have to pay to get more space. I see something similar happening here.

Thats correct. There's a massive downsizing on server space allotments. My single gmail account that I have been using for over 15 years to which all my mails, messaages, photos, contacts, youtube and chrome profiles , map timelines, wallets, bank accounts (you name it) are connected to got deleted because Google has limited the cloud storage available to organizations. It is worse than losing your phone or sim card.

Worse still, recovery is almost zero. You can't transfer data to another profile except to download your photos and a few other things.

I secured 2 jobs through Nairaland in 2016 and 2017.

Keep trying. One of the keys is being prepared and applying early.
