dats why i hate poverty!before anyone quotes,if he had a job will dis hapin?

Would you the same if your wife were to be the one backing her? This is not about poverty you know; it may be fun trying that once in a while after all she is your daughter.

Here is the picture of a man with his baby tied to his back. The beautiful thing about the picture is that he looks happy doing it.

To all married men in the house, would you ever try this?

VickJames:
Thank God for your life man. Mine was quite scary too.

Thanks a lot Bros. Hope yours was also without casualties?

Please share a little.

My experience in the hands of the dreaded men of the highway popularly known as “one chance” is not one to be forgotten so soon.
It is important for us to share our experiences so others can learn from them and see caution in other for them not to fall prey of one.

My experience goes thus:

It was on a Tuesday evening on my way back from work around 10:30pm. I had stopped over at a friend’s place that normally helps me in buying meat from his customers around Onipan; they sell good ones at very reasonable prices. I quickly rushed down to his house, picked up the meat, pay him for it and head straight back to Onipan bus-stop to board a bus going towards Ketu-Ojota as I stay around Ogudu.

On getting to Onipan bus-stop, in front of the police station beside Forte Oil filling station, I met about five other guys waiting to board a bus as well and the entire highway looks deserted with few vehicles going to and fro. As at that time, whatsapp messages kept on coming in from my wife saying it was too late for me to be outside at that time since I didn’t go out in my car. The chat went on and on….the only thing on my mind was to see a bus very fast going towards my route so I can go home to my family.

After a short while of waiting, here comes a neat well painted (Lagos Commercial bus colored) Volks-Wagen bus with a usual aggressive “conductor” shouting “ketu-Ojota-Mile 12….. N100 ketu-ojota”!! Only two of us ran to the bus with the rest still waiting at the bus-stop. I never sensed foul play as my mind was only fixed with one thing; home. After shouting for a while calling passengers, the driver moved to the next bus-stop called “Aladiye” still at Onipan. A very close friend was standing there busy pressing his phone, waiting for a bus when the bus parked by his side with the conductor repeating his lines “Ketu-Ojota-Mile 12…….N100.00 Ketu-Ojota”. He (My friend) felt reluctant at first; maybe for the fear of too many guys in the bus. Then I called him….”wale (not real name), wale”. He then responded “guy…how far now? You just dey go home?” then I replied “yes o my Brother. Na wetin man go chop cause am o”. So I told the bus conductor to stand up from my side and allow my friend sit beside me, he quickly objected as there was only one person in the back sit. Wale seeing me in the bus felt at peace and hopped in to the back sit. The conversation then continued with blutooth. Wale then said “Ore, why didn’t you go to work in your car”? “Omo with the traffic around Apapa these days, I go on public transport. I only take my car on Fridays…you know as e dey go now?” I replied. The bus had gotten to another bus-stop called “Church”. A Bros I know also entered the bus. I dodged for him; never wanted him to see me cos he is always in need begging for money. And I mean always.

The driver then moved on to Palm-groove bus-stop. With no passenger at the bus-stop, he drove on. Then the conductor started asking for money. I dug my hand into my front pocket, brought out N500.00 and paid for two; myself and my friend. While waiting for my N300.00 balance and at the same time in deep thought of my family, they declared thus “Hey everybody, you have entered one chance….respect yourself…” I rose up my head to this amazement of whether these “crazy bastards” still exist or they are only joking. The guy sitting beside me started struggling with them when one of the “one chance” guys sitting in the extreme end on the same sit started hitting him hard on the head with a big stone and the guys on the sit behind us hit him with knuckles and gun butt in a bid to calm him down. They hit him on the head until blood started gushing out of it.

I then raised my hands, with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in my hand and my BB in one of my front pockets. One of the two guys sitting beside the driver collected the Note 4 from me. Then they stopped bordering me as they focused on other victims. Deep down, I was happy as I still had my BB with my N21k in my pocket. At the time, my friend Wale who is obviously taller and relatively huge was their center of focus. The craziest one among them sitting right behind me holding a gun; pointed the gun at Wale; ordering him to surrender all he has to him. While reluctantly bringing t out, the “Crazy” gave him a heavy blow on his lips and threatened to shoot him. “Abi were nie ni…moni ko fun mi ni owo apo e. olo fe ma s’agidi. E be like sey I go shoot one person for leg so una go know sey we no dey joke o” he said as he released a shot in the air. Then Wale started begging; released all the money plus ATM in his pocket to one of them. “How much dey there?” said the “Crazy”. “N50k” said Wale. Then they asked how much the guy sitting beside me has in his pocket, he brought out N350.00, N2k Nokia phone and 2ATM cards. They asked how much he has in his ATM when the guy replied “N3k”. The crazy now said angrily “so na because of N350, N2k Nokia phone and N3k in your account you wan kill yourself? No dey try am again o. we go just kill you comot; nobody fit hold us”.

At this time we were already in Gbagada cos instead of going straight, they made a turn beside Batola Machine Tools Company, Anthony and headed towards Gbagada via Charley Boy before making a turn on the bridge facing Anthony-Oshodi again. I was nursing the ambition of going home with my BB and N21k in my pocket when one of them dug his hand in my pocket and took them. He then said “wetin be this (showing me my BB)? Sebi you say u don give us everything. You even get money” “haa….i no know say the phone even dey there. I think say I don drop everything o……na a your own, take am naa.” I said. Meanwhile, I had my ATM and another N2k with some change in my back pocket.
They then forced others to release whatever they had on them while pointing guns to Wale to release his ATM PIN to them. He quickly gave them a fake PIN. Not satisfied, they insisted he must follow them to an ATM machine where he will make a withdrawal for them. He then pleaded that he had withdrawn everything in his account which they already collected.

They later dropped us along the road in a flower garden very close to Anthony after UPS office, Gbagada. I then took a cab home with my friend Wale. On getting home, I narrated my ordeal to my wife who said she’s been calling my line to no avail. I then remembered I bought a Chicken Suya….”oh one of then eating it in the bus” I realized.

It was really an awful experience as they were so mean and ready to kill anyone found not cooperating.

I urge the Lagos state government to rise up to its primary responsibility of protecting the life and property of every Lagosian by working closely with security operatives in tracking these dreaded and heartless men down before it is too late.
Kindly share your “One Chance” experience if you have any so others can learn. If you don’t, kindly follow so as to learn from people’s experiences.

My contribution here is to stretch our understanding, think outside the box, put ourselves in PMB shoes. Are we looking at the possibility that PMB has already appointed his ministers but kept it secret and has given them an assignment to write a proposal on what they think the problem with specific ministries, what and how they can revamp it and what they hope to achieve within a given period. This assignment may need to be submitted, vetted and appraised by group of professionals and those that can actually deliver be mention and made public. My point is you don't employ a good staff without interview and it is not the senate interview that matters in the real sense but the one he would have already done. I believe if he needs 2months to get this done let's oblige him.

Gbam!!!

IT TOOK GEJ A MONTH TO NOMINATE HIS MINISTERS.

A lot of people don’t know that it took former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan roughly a month to nominate his ministers in 2011 (May 29 – June 26, 2011) even though there was no “change of government”.

I have monitored closely the allegations & counter allegations, with heap of bickering left, right and center over President Muhammadu Buhari’s supposed delay in nominating his ministers. Some ardent supporters of PMB have also gone ahead in a bid to defend him to say maybe he doesn’t need the ministers after all…..since there are permanent secretaries who are seasoned civil servants in various ministries and are capable of managing the affairs of such ministries which they so know like the back their palms. My good friend, Barcanista has also out of necessity delivered a counter thread telling us why it is sacrosanct for PMB to nominate and work with ministers citing several reasons (majority of which are cogent).

However, it is very important for us to note that the business of governance is not a child’s play. It is one which requires you to make haste, yet slowly. We have heard from PMB on several platforms where he assured us that he will name his ministers but willing to so do in a very careful manner. The VP, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo also came out recently to highlight the criteria for nominating one.

The question now are:

if it is so easy to nominate ministers, why did it take ex-president Jonathan one month before naming his ministers even when there was no transition from one government to the other?

Why are people making mountains out of nothing over the fact that PMB is yet to name his ministers barely one month after inauguration knowing fully well that there was a change in government, recommendation on the true state of the country must be carefully studied and the best of the bests must be fielded irrespective of politics and region as clearly reiterated by the VP?

What would naming the ministers have achieved with the two national chambers saddled with the responsibility of screening them in disarray?

Na 2day??.. See their bleached faces & fat body.. & pls dnt tell me they're sexy.They're fooking "FAT"..
Yoruba actresses + Bleach + Fat = Match made from heaven.
Na until dem off cloth u go understand wetin i dey talk.
FAT Bleached Beaches!!!

But more appealing than equally bleach skinned hollywood wannabe village girls called "igbo" actresses.....They are annoying in their fake accents filled with raw indigboism.

Nigerian actresses suck in general....

chuna1985:



Lmao, sai Methuselah.

igbos have been in business long before the Yoruba n igbos rule the commerce industry in Nigeria. If we are all thieves, how come our businesses are still everywhere around the world.

Ur talk about igbos being a shadow of SW is sooo laughable, normal SWaste chest beating.

I know SW wella, only Akure n portions of Lagos developed, other places look like nsukka.

We beat u in all things, education, business, n all what not. deal wit it.

As for ur age stuff, forget it bro, don't go there.

Finally, don't source for baseless businesses to buy from n also learn ur trade properly . its a shame u can't identify the zinc ur looking for..

You are younger than I thought.

chuna1985:



Lmfao. Thieves full Nigeria n u were unintelligent n that was why they duped u.

Now I see SW are the people who always see d truth. SWste.

Now you are behaving like a typical ibo boy. I bet you simply don't understand the word "trust". Good businesses are built on trust while bad ones on deceit. The same product is available in Ekiti, Niger, Nasarawa, Jos etc and I have been buying from the options.

Your brothers are foolish enough to bank on one transaction (short run) to milk me while they can make million folds in the long run.

Now you see why the SE will remain in the shadow of the west considering the fact that they bank on people like you as their future.

A case of when the supposed smartest became the dullest.

I know you are a small boy, only trying to enlighten you.

chuna1985:



Please try n step out of that ur SW n visit Igbo land. ur perception of igbos will change forever.

The last time I visited, I was duped by your brothers that sold half sand, half Zinc to me as complete Zinc (Zn) making me to loose a lot of money. You don't need to tell me what the place looks like cos am perfectly aware.

I don't hate the igbos, on the contrary I have a quite number of fantastic ones (as business partners. Even met some in the North) but the bulk of others are blind to see the truth or maybe they can see but can't comprehend.

na me u de speak grammer for? abeg u don high

Seriously, just checked you out and I realised I must be very high.....lol

Loll make I just de observe

I don't exchange words with babies but you need to wake up from your slumber. Foreigners don't develop a place except if they control they control their govt as in slavery (eg when Nigeria was under the briths)

Foreigners only compliment development or are the "ibos" the ones building Lagos roads; providing infrastructures? Do they hate themselves so much that they refused to replicate same supposed development in the East?

henchamb:
The igbos developed it

While they refused to develop "Igboland"?

Yeye dey smell.....you better wake up before it's too late.

barcanista:
For the record AI are somewhat pro-terrorists in their report. They even accused Pres Bush, Chiney and Gen Powell of "War crime". But the reasonable american government brushedd that aside. May God help Nigeria

To probe means to investigate and prosecute when necessary.

If in the course of investigation, the Military is found wanting then perpetrators must be prosecuted and if otherwise I don't think they will prosecute anybody for committing no crime.

It is good to have people be in the opposition at least to serve as checks for the rulling party but you must learn to do that more professionally.

You don't necessarily need to comment on every post; you only need to look for the ones where your argument will be more valid and constructive. You also need to take your time to think before dropping ur notes; it is important.

All together, you are doing a great job but take to advice.

arbitter:


Wait what? And that comes as a surprise to you? You do realise from his Username he's probably a member who is using an alternate profile to be the halfwit he was born to be but is too much of a pvssy to openly be.

Not surprised though but never tell it to his face.

ShowYourCertificate:
Increasing tariffs will cripple our economy. Nigeria is import driven thus the increment in tax, especially at this period of economic crises caused by fuel price, will discourage the use of conventional channels to import goods. Importers will resort to illegal importation through our porous boundaries. And this will not be good for our economy.

Also our small and medium scale importers will be frustrated out of business. As a result, commodities will be scarce, price of goods will skyrocket and the masses will suffer.

Some one should please teach some economic sense into the Daura President. We all know he failed economics back then in school. We even need to see his WASC Certificate sef.

[size=20pt]#BabaOneChance[/size]

You post a lot on nairaland but sad enough you hardly make sense. All you do is being abusive and devoid of constructive arguement and/or analysis.

The said increment was agreed by GEJ's administration and was supposed to take effect in April but postponed till now.

PMB will have to look into the previous agreement and see how they can adjust if necessary.

The dura man has sold us to the west! I knew his constant flights to London et all was to gain their acceptance by doing their bidding.
Creating more hardship for the people is the sign of change to come!

Learn to read before making comments so you can make sense and not waste other people's data.

CountDracula:
Some girls wil still go

You are right...so long as something is gonna drop from the guy's pocket.

I wonder what would come to your mind if your boyfriend asks you to visit him for the time; you ask for the address and he sends you this....

It is actually a street in Ogijo area of Ikorodu, Lagos.

One word....dumb

PrinxArthur1:
if he gos there on diplomatic grounds they can't arrest (diplomatic immunity clause)

Don't be too sure about that. Even a sitting governor has been arrested in the past for violation and several other misconducts.

Mogidi:

If America wants Kashamu, they've got to take Tinubu as well, infact we dash America Tinubu.

No more wahala for Kashamu, PDP now runs senate, Tinibu should go and d..

Tinubu do visits USA often. He would have been held down if wanted by them.

I think it is Kashamu that needs to make a trip to the USA to show he has got nothing to fear or better still the senate should send him on an assignment to the USA then nobody will be talking about extradition, it would have come naturally.

For the love of money

This can only happen in Nigeria. It is cheap to run a political campaign and after everything INEC had the guts to say he cannot be voted for.

He should do everything needful to get it back o. We must not allow impunity to continue to rain in this country.
