Moral of the story?

Long distance, bad traffic, poor transport facilities and infrastructure is slowly, but relentlessly killing budding relationships, between members of the opposite sex, who live at opposite ends of Lagos (i.e. Lagos Island, Lagos mainland and the suburbs). QED.

Swissheart:
Laughing Out Loud........ I live and work in Epe, Bro was staying at Surulere. We kept wasting our Saturdays on the road every weekend. Once, I visited on environmental sanitation day,got to CMS around past 3.....see me see stress. I sha enter surulere around past 4 after waiting till eternity at apongbon. When I got to his place,I spent 30mins......(we couldn't try do erm erm )off to my Epe. I changed mind to return enroute ojota Ketu ikorodu......talk ikorodu,talk 1st class traffic. I entered my Epe by past 11 after drawing a circle on the soil of Lagos that weekend.
Twas that day, I started considering Saka who stays next street to mine
I cannon come and go and die

Baa-aa-ad girl!! Did you tell Saka that the only reason you reconsidered his application, was due to proximity (i.e. the fact that he lived on the next street)?

yedidiah:
Do we classify those folks that live in those shacks close to Elegushi as island babes and dudes too

Na squatters dem be - no permanent abode. Those shacks can be levelled in a twinkle of an eye, any day Ambode's boys decide to pay them a visit.

alex81:
lol op doesn't know dat its not abt d money n distance.

My dear if traffic hold u from chevron b/stop on ur way to mainland esp in d evening on it way to see bae, or early in d morng on ur way to work.... u go know say Jesus is lord!

Chevron hold up is small, o! Haven't you heard of the Sangotedo hold up? After that one, you will get to the Ajah gridlock. Followed by the Jakande traffic jam. Then you will recite "Our Father, which art in heaven..!", until you break free...

Icon79:
Why would you do Ikorodu/Ikoyi relationships when women boku for Ikoyi?

It's only when there's a scarcity that we manage those long distance thing. Other than that, the whole long distance thing ain't ideal o.

O pari

Which women boku for Ikoyi? Are you talking about the unserious, aje-butter twenty-something year olds with their unrealistic minds stuck in the clouds, who think the world owes them a living, because of their father's influence & money? Or the hard-edged, hustling b'itchy senior girls in their 30s & 40s with fake, pretentious airs that believe in "no romance, without finance?" Which babes exactly are you talking about??

Naijasinglegirl:
I am not sorry I don’t live on the Island. And I don’t live on the mainland either. I live around the ‘extra lands’ off the mainland and when I tell people my location, toasters to be specific, they be like, “Too bad!”
As if Ambode is not the governor in my area.

Boys are willing to do London/Lagos long distance relationships but cannot do common Ikorodu/Ikoyi relationships.
No boy even wants to do Uber for you from your location to a first date meeting on the Island because the cost of a trip is God is Good Motors rate from Lagos to Abia.
You mention where you are living to a prospective toaster and the next thing he says is, “The last time I visited there was 2002.”
Oga who asked you?

A ‘toaster’ would mention an event/party that took place on the island and when you express your disappointment on why you were not invited, he’ll say, “But you are in town now.”
Excuse me?

The worst of them are the ones that offer free lifts. You’d be minding your business at a bus stop on the Island, patiently waiting for an Oshodi bound vehicle so you can take a BRT from Oshodi to Agbado Ijaiye and later the 20 minutes okada ride from the bus stop at Agbado Ijaiye to your own Lagos when a guy in a camry would pull up and say, “Can I give you a ride home?”
OGA DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY HOUSE IS?

Sometimes I mention where I am headed and the manner they zoom off is disrespectful.
The time I was stupid enough to accept to be dropped along the way, I regretted. For some of the spoilt Island boys, along the way means the second curve along third mainland bridge or sometimes an unnamed location where you’d wait for a vehicle for one hour and have no choice but to start returning to the bus stop because your routes have been messed up.

Even people living in lbeju Lekki and Ajah outskirts are joining to discriminate mainland people with talks of, “The only thing that takes me to the mainland is the airport”
Ko serious.
At least I don’t have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, queue at four toll gates and pass eight roundabouts before I get home.

You know the most annoying part? The husband materials in these bush areas have refused to date their own. All their girlfriends are based on the Island. Issokay.

http://www.naijasinglegirl.com/apparently-single-dont-live-island/

ROFLMAO!! What a fantastic piece. But wait o, how do you Ikorodu residents who work on the Island, cope??! My friend uses the ferry service from Ikorodu to CMS, and still gets to the office in Marina before those who live in Ajah or Lakowe.

Anyway, your write-up about what people in Ikorodu go through, is almost similar to what babes in Ibeju-Lekki axis also face, on a daily basis. My female colleague had to end a relationship with her bloke who lives in Ikeja, because according to him, coming to see her in Ibeju-Lekki from Ikeja is like going to the opposite end of the earth!

gogedda:
@tobi, like you said, "you hear". It is a rumour and that's what it will always be. Only rumour mongers who doesn't know the way to Alausa to verify title docs will think that way. So I suggest if you are interested, take advantage of this opportunity and secure yours...Don't be like Mr chukwudi who was told to buy a plot in Lekki Phase 1 for 1m in the 90's but kept saying it was a bush, under govt acquistion and too far. Now he is regretting it now cos he can't buy a plot for 150m...Think Smart and Act wise!!

Lekki Phase 1 was never a bush. It was a huge expanse of sandfield land reclaimed from the lagoon, through dredging by the Lagos State govt.

If you are referring to Agungi, Igbo-efon etc which is further down the road from Lekki Phase 1, people might believe you.

Okanokan:
Lai Mohammed is sick, and disgrace to his generation. However, Nigerian wish him well. Its not long anymore for us to boot them out and carry out a public trial on them for the pains and economic violence they visited on Nigerians.

Nigeria deserves a more coherent, articulate and transparent Information minister than Lai Mohammed. Out of all the erudite, polished, articulate, intelligent and thoroughbred professionals that dot our landscape, the only person they could appoint to handle the information portfolio was Lai mohammed - a man who sees white, and annoyingly calls it black. Let us pray that God will deliver our nation from his ilk.

Am proud to be one of the alumni of this prestigious school.
For the haters! am sure that most of you hate the school and anything that partain to it because the school denied you admission. :/;( If the school denied you first degree admission, its never late, you can still apply there for your post-graduate studies

Help me tell dem, o jare! Great Akokite!!

holamiday:
I don't get this. You mean UI graduates are not on the N-power programme or do not actively engage in MMM?

No mind dem! Let them continue to misyarn! I stand with the great Akokites, jare! In Unilag, you learn technical & academic skills, as well as social skills. Unlike some other schools, whose names I will not mention here, whose graduates end up being social misfits and bush people, even after spending 5 years behind the walls of a university.

Hemanwel:
With most of the points above, any serious employer of labour would never consider a Unilag graduate for employment.
You just exposed the fact that most of you go there only to get the certificate and not to learn.

The haters have arrived. By the stench oozing from their words, ye shall know them... Do you know how many Unilag graduates and alumni hold down prestigious, high-flying jobs & powerful positions in the Nigerian corporate world? Go and find out.

Hello!
I need writers who are capable of doing the task at the stipulated time given.
Payment fee: 1.5 naira per word.
Number of words: 400 words per article
Numbers of articles available : more than 80 articles per week..
Your account will be credited once my client approve the article.
If you are interested, contact me: contentwryta@gmail.com and attach your mobile number.

At =N=1.50 per word for a 400 word article, a writer would earn just =N=600 naira per article. Are you for real? Or are you offering these peanuts as a joke?

Dc4life:
Stay there spitting thrash.. Niggas are out there cashing out real good nd doing good for themselves. Your just a low life Hater!

Are you normal? Someone offers advice that young boys should desist from Yahoo-Yahoo stuff, as crime doesn't pay, and its' aftermath is nothing to write home about - and the only thing you can do is to call him names and criticise him? What kind of values were you raised with, for goodness sake?

Funlordjnr:
He is a HATER? For despising a bunch of low grade thieves who scam people of their hard earned money in order to use it on sluts, cars and shayo?

Your stupidity must be hereditary!

I no know say you sef see am. Can you imagine the kind of mindset these silly chaps have? Is it that they were not raised to distinguish between right and wrong, or they just simply decided to sell their souls to the devil in order to make a quick, lousy buck?

EternalTruths:
Will Afonjas agree

devilson:
So the osu cannot achieve anything till afonja agree with them

ROFLMAO!! Those of us from minority tribes already know that without the Afonjas, the IPOBs are nothing!

greatgod2012:
What is fake in this

Have you watched the video

Honestly, you'll be sorry for this country after watching the video!

That girl is definitely NOT Ajimobi's daughter! She does not look like any of the daughters, at all. Big case of mistaken identity. Haba!! Nigerians and their ability to spread fake stories!!

Eko Disco must be the worst Disco in Nigeria, followed by Benin Disco. Chai!! They added a =N= 50,000 naira surcharge to my monthly bill. What da heck does that mean??

ednut1:
because Linda bot an infinity SUV, everybody sharply open blog doing copy and paste. some of them post fake pics and stories for traffic. some of them come on NL and be like click to continue reading - pls just gerahere. to all d quack bloggers out der go get a job abeg. even mainstream media outlets are now behaving like bloggers e.g punch will always publish photos of kenyan tribes men welding ak-47 as fulani herds men. mtcheeew

HanXolo:
I really have issues with bloggers who just copy news from other sites and bam they think they are bloggers..lol..all coz they want traffic and some adsense cash..how about blogging for fun..writing is therapeutic.
Y'all should try it

fhranciz:
I don't look down on them. I don't even look at them at all, their business thrive on lies.

Daniel058:
The problem is that there are a lot of Linda Ikeji wanna be

90% of Naija Bloggers are into copying and pasting .. And Every blogger want to be popular, I'm very sure that atleast 20% Nairaland active Users, each person have one or two blogs. but not all of us (including me) have what it takes to be good blogger

LET'S LEAVE BLOGGING FOR BLOGGERS ...

cc : wisdomkosi, I BU ONYE NNA FOR BLOGGING ✌️

Make una no mind all those yeye bloggers wey don take cut-and-paste and 'fake stories, finish their site. Too many bloggers believe in a follow-follow mentality and think that once they publish anything, no matter how daft it looks, everyone will hail them.
They then get offended when people call them out on their errors, or ignore them or even diss them for their irresponsible posts.

Make dem go siddon, jare!

Lovely M.I.L.F!

Nigeria media use to call her "Elegant Stallion"

Onyeka Onwenu seems to be private about her man, children and familyhood.

You hardly see her husband hanging around her.

Relationship stuff seems not be seen around her.

We do not know who is dating her!

Her contribution to the Nigerian music industry is commendable. She belongs to the generation of our good old singers like Sunny Okosun, Sunny Ade, Kris Okotie, Jide Obi, Felix Lebarty, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Charly Boy etc

She is also a contributor to our music association that is PMAN

She once pull force with force with Tony Okoroji of PMAN and even Charly Boy

She is from Imo state and once served in one of the federal ministry under the defunct Goodluck Jonathan administration.

Wishing her Happy Birthday!

Guy, do your research now. Onyeka Onwenu is one of those elegant chics that rocked the social scene in the '90s. In the past, she dated Kris Okotie the musician-turned-pastor who now heads the Household of God Church. She was devastated when he left her to marry his wife. Then she met a Yoruba guy called Ogunlende and married him. The chap was already married, when they met so she became his second wife. The guy later divorced his first wife. Onyeka has two sons for him. The first son Tijani Ogunlende is also involved in the media and entertainment industry. She was very close to the late Tyna Onwudiwe who was also a singer.

blogreporter:
the couple

She has definitely cooked something for him.

Sanchez01:
Banks use an internet service called 'Leased Line', which means that the main bandwidth is channeled to their HQ while other locations of the bank are fed through fibre-optic/microwave radio backbone. My point is, should their carrier (provider) be affected, the entire branch of the bank would be affected, regardless of where you go.

Normally, all corporate bodies have back up links. I wonder what went wrong with Zenith.

Thank you, o! That was the same question I asked them at the Zenith branch where I went to carry out a transaction yesterday. I went to 3 branches of Zenith along the Lekki-Epe expressway on Friday & Monday, and the story was the same. No network. It sounded so silly in these days where you have multiple service providers that are offering leased lines, everywhere you go - especially in Lagos. Haven't they heard of risk mitigation, disaster recovery, contingency planning and back-up leased line services? Their CTO should be sanctioned for not being able to correct this kind of network failure, that stretched for such a long period. Does Zenith think that running multiple adverts on CNN and DSTV will automatically translate into improved services?

mantosa:
Not entirely correct. I bank with Zenith, yes on Friday their network was down which was communicated through their push Notification on their app.

By Saturday it was back on. As a matter if fact, I withdrew from a Skye bank ATM yesterday.

You must be one of the very few lucky ones. I was at Zenith in Lekki area through out yesterday from 11 a.m to 5 p.m. and nothing could be down. This is a bank that declares millions as profits and yet cannot be bothered to install back-up links or redundancy networks that their branches can fall back on during operations, when their primary network links are down. Zenith should continue with their fake stories. Am closing down my account with them, once the branch network comes up.

haon:
I think what happens is dt dia data center is down and with such, transaction will not be possible. from my point of view it wasn't delebrate. do u know how much money in millions they wud av lost over the last four to five days? pls, be patient with them. I'm not a zenith bank staff,neither do I av acct with them. just from my own experience as a DC engineer

Did their customers not lose money also, due to the challenges they encountered at the bank? Will Zenith compensate its customers for lost time, lost transactions and lost business opportunities they suffered due to their inability to transact business via their Zenith accounts? Just asking!

mccoy47:
Unity bank that does not have customers are still stealing from the few left?

Unity Bank has always been pinching funds from customers' accounts for a long time, nah. No be new thing. If a customer dies and leaves any funds in his account in Unity bank, his relations should just kiss that money goodbye. The bank will never release it to them, no matter what documents they produce. Unity bank is fond of sitting on other people's money!

The sad thing about most of our films is that the producers do not explore other aspects of the film that could be used as money spinners.

Sound tracks from films have been turned into best-selling albums or singles in different parts of the world, and have gone on to earn a lot of money, for the composers, songwriters, film producers etc.

Even memorabilia and souvenirs depicting exciting scenes in the movie can be made & sold in movie halls, to earn extra revenue.

shaddoww:
For my Osogbo here, they sold Osogbo steel rolling to Dangote who wasn't even the highest bidder and all he has done is use it as a cement deport.

How sad!!

kropotkin2:
How can Nigeria be illegitimate? Every single Nation on earth recognizes her legitimacy. If Nigeria were not legitimate then it follows that every nation state created by colonial powers are also illegitimate, that will place half the nation states on the planet in this category. If Nigeria be illegitimate, how can an illegitimate entity legitimately organize a referendum for you to form a 'legitimate' Biafra?

Good question!!

Longman6:
At school, July 10, 1964

Dearest Queen Risi:
I am one hundred percent certain that this letter meets you in a fabulous state of anatomy and metabolism. If so, eternal gratitude to our Creator. If not, I am the only doctor in town for the Queen.

Oh beautiful Queen! The geography of your body is perfect. Your body is full of milk and honey, your fingers are richer than gold, your eyes see better than the moon and sun, your head contains more wisdom than the sea can hold water.

Queen Risi is the model of perfection, accepted by all the angels, created by God on a Sunday when He had no time for other duties. You are the last Queen created by God. Other women that came after you are servants of the Queen.

Risi, I know that you are always busy, the Queen that has a kingdom to rule. Without a King, a Queen is useless. My principal aim of writing this letter to you is to gravitate your mind towards a matter of importance which has bothered my soul. This matter is so important. Even as I am writing, my soul is shaking, my temperature is rising, the wind vane of my mind and body is pointing everywhere at the same time.

Queen Risi, you need a King. Queen Risi, you are the only one I see at school, at home, and on the road. The mirror in my eyes has only your divine image, your majesty, your throne. I see you in my dream everyday. When I sleep, you are the one in my medulla oblongata, the only mosquito in my net, the only sugar in my tea, the only fly in my ointment.

To go straight to the point. I want to be your King. I want to wake up in the morning and see only the Queen. You should be the only grey matter of my system, the wall clock of my room, the only oxygen in my head, the only rock in my universe, the only river whose water I can drink. My sweetest, dearest, talented, fantastic, fondest, extraordinary paragon of beauty, be mine today, be mine tomorrow, be mine for ever. Let us live and die together, buried in the Garden of Eden with our love. Say Yes, Queen Risi. Only a weak Queen says No.

Listen to what the Lord says. He says we should ask and we shall be given, we should seek and we will find, and that we should knock and it will be open unto us. I am this 10th day of the seventh month in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nineteen hundred and sixty-four, asking, seeking and knocking at the door of the only Queen. Open the door so that thy servant may enter. Herbs & Charms 179

Queen Risi means love itself; the noun, pronoun, metaphor, oxymoron, thesis, antithesis, irony, conjunction and the adverb of love. Life has no meaning to me if I cannot wake up in the morning and behold your beautiful face, your long legs, your angelic eyes, your majestic lips, your fantabulous head, your smile.

You are a wise Queen. You realize the mountain that I want to climb, the ocean I want to swim, the desert I want to cross. If you say no, there will be no King for the Queen. My life will be like tea without sugar, like a snail without shell, a cow without horns, a car without a driver, a cup without tea, a town without people. Queen Risi, I am Adam, you are Eve. If you say no, I will not be alive to finish reading your reply. In fact I will kill myself.

What is life without Queen Risi? A man without love is like a fish out of water. Queen Risi, reply today through the bearer. God’s time is the best. This is the time for the Queen to meet the King. God has united us in the Garden of Eden. What God has put together let no man put asunder. A woman without a man is like a field without seed.

From one and only,
Sali Kasali
Your beloved, faithful, loyal, loving king

Chisos!! Osanobua! Tamuno!! Chukwu biko!! See as you take one letter, scatter the mind of one small girl called Risi. And what was Risi's reply? I dey suspect say na you write love letter to my neighbour's sister, that time we dey for boundary junction, near Minna. Unfortunately, the letter fell into her father's hands by mistake, and he flogged her silly. Tell me the truth: "Did you end up marrying Risi, after all these grammatical gymnastics, in your love letter?"

Is anyone watching Sands of Time? That Shekar character is just annoying me. How can a full-grown married man be blackmailed by a cunning actress called Nethra into a second marriage, when your first wife is still there? And instead of Shekar to call her bluff & expose her wicked manipulative ways, he is just keeping quiet like a zombie. Even the first wife Jia is acting like a dummy! Someone should slap some sense into their heads, please!

Going on a walk to agitate for the revival of Ajaokuta Steel Mill is a noble cause but more needs to be done to get it off the ground. A coalition of public technocrats and skilful private-sector engineers, financiers, project teams and commercial firms need to come together, to revive the plant.

The technology used in Ajaokuta was said to be obsolete. Others have claimed that this is untrue.The equipment needs to be overhauled, retooled and replaced, as soon as possible. To do that, massive funds are needed and skilful expertise.

The legal tangle that accompanied the privatisation of the Ajaokuta complex needs to be unravelled and finally put to rest. The matter is long, but give me time to finish up some work and come back here, to address these points.

AreaFada2:
He's trying to make sense.

But people do different jobs. Some require utmost confidentiality. Even not your spouse or gf should know some details like healthcare, legal, intelligence, law enforcement, etc.

People should still have their own space in a relationship.

A person who wants to cheat can still cheat. A friend's ex-wife had a secret phone she use to cheat. Her lover knew exactly when she was alone.

But on the surface, they were a perfect couple that kept no secrets.

You should never keep secrets about your healthcare profile from your spouse, fiance, girlfriend or boyfriend. In case of an emergency, they need to know what to do, who to call or what they can use to help you. They can only assist you, if they have your essential details at their fingertips. Imagine a sickle-cell patient, a hypertensive individual or an asthmatic person hiding his medical details from his spouse. He is just signing his death warrant, if he gets incapacitated during an emergency. Do you know how many people die from bad handling, negligence, lack of adequate information and poor medical responses, especially during an emergency?
