Hello idiots!
I was the one who snapped the pictures. And the man was dead on the spot. His head was smashed on one side. He had no heartbeat or pulse. He was waiting for a vehicle with two of his friends. Those ones were still breathing after the hit and were rushed to the hospital by fellow motorists. He was checked by a medical personnel who was around us and he was already confirmed dead. We agreed to take pictures to post online so his family and friends might be informed. As we didn't find a phone on him.
We even went to the nearest police station to ask for a police report so we can take him to the mortuary and we were denied.
Eventually, we found his phone in the bushes and were able to locate his family members. And we waited until they came to pick his body and soldiers drove behind them, as the soldiers eventually came to the location and told everyone to step back.
So if you like curse me from now till next year, I know what I did was in good fate. Some of you idiots would drive by without stopping at 11pm at night.
I am a young lady and won't carry a corpse anywhere without the right documentation, as I am not a medical personnel.
Two police vans drove by us They didn't even answer all our screams to advice us on how to handle this corpse. Infact at the Ajiwe police station they told us to go back that they can't help us with a report. It was even some soldiers who stopped by eventually, not the useless police officers.
So you fools can keep cursing your ancestors since that's what you sit here doing.

Madam, you could have saved yourself and a lot of posters the stress, if you had included all these facts in your initial post on this thread, instead of just posting the pictures alone and claiming his condition was 'critical'!!

It was based on that initial information in your very first opening post, that a lot of people responded to your comments.

If what you are saying here now, in this latest post is the real truth... then you have done your bit as a good corporate citizen. And God Almighty will bless you. Always learn to give the true picture and the full facts, whenever you post anything online! And there is no need to vent, when you failed to include all the relevant details.

It helps to always give the correct facts!

No vex which positive thing she don do

She was elected the first female speaker of the House of Assembly, unfortunately she lost the position due to so many allegations.

From being a hairdresser, she went back to school to graduate with a degree in law from Buckingham University UK at the age of 61!

That singular action is an inspiration to many people.

Patricia Etteh’s Latest Move – THE FACTS by Mbasekei Martin Obono

.. I just read a piece of flighty, shallow minded and lazy journalism in Punch Newspaper (online) titled “Patricia Etteh’s latest move” written by one Anna Okon. I write as a classmate of Mrs. Etteh and in the capacity of the President of Nigerian Society of the University of Buckingham. I write because I hate misrepresentation of facts in order to suit surreptitious and impious agendum. In September, 2012, I started a Law programme at the University of Buckingham in order to fulfill a dream I have nursed many years ago. On arriving Buckingham, I found a lot of academic veterans, politicians, fulfilled business men and women, sons and daughters of ‘who is who’ predominantly with Nigerian, Caribbean, Pakistani, Chinese and Japanese origin.

When I got into Buckingham, I had two modules to contend with and an exam in less than 7 weeks because I resumed late. The workload was huge, I found myself spending a minimum of 6hours everyday in the library. Understanding European Union law wasn’t child’s play for me and many other European friends who confessed same to me.

....During one of the lectures, I noticed Mrs. Patricia Etteh in my class. I was shocked at first sight. I wondered what she was doing here. Before leaving Nigeria, I watched the National Assembly clear her of all corruption allegations. She was a victim of political maneuvering. I felt pity for her still but wasn’t convinced.My accommodation is one minute away from the library.

The days we don’t have classes, I get to the library at 10am. I will meet Madam Speaker who lives 10 minutes away in a one bedroom apartment of University accommodation and she will be the last to leave the library. Mrs. Etteh would trek or join school bus to class, library and tutorials. She spent most of her time studying than many of us. She doesn’t own a car neither does she dress flamboyantly. I was touched by her humility and commitment to studies..

Here are the facts, it is on record that Mrs. Etteh has never missed any class or tutorial even when she had problem with her legs, she called on some students to help her climb the faculty stair case despite pacifying her to call in sick. This is a sixty years old woman who is doing her best to compete favorably with fresh brains.

hinwazaka:
The APC and PMB do not know what the republican mole, Ibe, has planned for them. By the time Kachichukwu is through with the NNPC, we will have an American mercantilist dummy corporation which will only take orders sent expressly from Langley, Virginia.

Hmmmnn ....... Sad, but likely to be true.

Miranda11:
Laudate it seems ur really aggrieved with the current restructuring going on at NNPC, why is that, are u an employee of NNPC?

Maybe you shld request to have an audience with Ibe Kachikwu and make ur feelings known to him.

Madam, am not aggrieved with the restructuring, provided it is done in a proper and ethical manner. And am not an official of NNPC, so kindly stop the conjecture.

I do not need to have an audience with Kachikwu to make any feelings known to him. His actions already portray the kind of person he is. Don't forget that "by their fruits, ye shall know them."

My objections have to do with the blind defence of any silly action that any top govt official carries out, in this country.

We are all so quick to hail any action without thinking it through, or looking at the pros and cons of those actions as well as the resultant effects on the system. Yet, when things end up not working properly, we turn round to blame others for the misfortune that arises, from the consequences of such actions.

We cannot keep doing the same thing over and over again, yet keep expecting a different result. Other GMDs have tried this approach in the past and it yielded nothing, but failure! Other parastatals have also embarked on the same course of action in the past, only to end up with greater problems than those which initially existed.

We need to look beyond just the implementation of any action, and research the consequences of such actions on the system, the processes, the staff, the corporation and even the country, itself. There is something called "Change Management," and it is a process that every parastatal fails spectacularly, in this country.

Your GMD has started the process. Let us all wait and see how it turns out in the coming months.

smokes:
@ laudate why dont you provide proof that performance review wasnt used in downsizing or are u thinking that appraisals arent done and records kept?

Why?? Was I the one that sent the 1,000 people packing? Or was I the one that was defending the GMD blindly claiming that performance reviews were used to determine the fate of the sacked people? Or was I the one claiming that the 1,000 people added no value to NNPC?

Or why do you think the staff unions (i.e. NUPENG and PENGASSAN) are taking the GMD to task, and threatening to down tools over the matter??

mars123:
you are looking for proof, small man like you...when you go to havard law school,graduate with honours, become the executive vice president of a multinational oil firm with a mind blowing resume,you will get the proof you're looking for. in this current dispensation,mediocrity isn't celebrated...know that!

No, you are the one that is thinking like 'a small man'. And it is that mediocrity that oozes from your words. So, because a man attends Harvard, you feel it gives him the right to toy with the fortunes of an entire corporation, and destroy the lives and careers of 1,000 people in one fell swoop? Even in America where Harvard is located, such things cannot be done in just 1 week, or you would be hit with multiple law suits from every corner!

Like I explained in my very first post in this thread, there is a process and procedure for carrying out such things in a structured manner. You do not just get into a seat or position of power, and the first thing you do is to lay off people in under 1 week. Is he an undertaker sent to supervise the demise of NNPC?

Lanretoye:
Some fools be talking rubbish here, as if they dont know what's obtainable in this country.
innocent person takes him to the hospital and the next thing is to go and get police report before they can attend to the victim...the person that takes him to the hospital will still have to foot the bills oo.
the police may even hold hold down or detain him for a crime he didnt commit.



insofar as it is in nigeria and as fas as i am concerned, the only thing i can do is to call the helpline.

You are talking anyhow here, because you are NOT the victim. If it was you that was knocked down and lying in a critical position, would you be saying this crap here?? Or would you be praying silently that someone helps to save your life, so that you do NOT die? Police report or not?

Miranda11:
This is the proof that the GMD said performance appraisals will be used

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/188339-nnpc-to-sack-more-staff-set-for-fresh-audit.html

Madam, don't just post corporate double-speak online. Provide proof, that the criteria was used in sending those 1,000 people packing. Is that so hard to do?? You are jumping to GMD's defence without knowing the true story of the matter... simply because in your own words, 'people said' or you know 'people who said' ..... na wah, oh!. Like I asked you before.... "What proof do you have that those people who were laid off, did not add any value to NNPC??

I admire this woman for going back to school and getting her law degree at over 50 years of age!

She may have made a mess of her political career initially, but she took that mess, turned it around into a positive experience for her life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Former Madam Speaker!

Melahou:
would you have taken him to the hospital if you where there?
maybe you don't know how the police system works

just imagine if the guy dies in your car on you to the hospital...

serious case for you

Oh, so the best thing is to just leave him there to die??!@!

Are you for real??!

Miranda11:
I don't need to provide proof, the GMD has said it that performance reviews will be used where it is possible to retrain staff for them to be more efficient then such staff will be kept, but where there is no value in doing so they will be let go. This is the criteria that is being used. If u know anybody that works in NNPC and who can be honest with you about the reality of the situation then you won't say this. I know pple who work in NNPC and they complain bitterly about the incompetence of the staff there who were employed simply on a man know man basis, they come to work do not add value and get the intelligent junior staff to do all the work. How can NNPC continue to survive like this and unfortunately this is the case throughout the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.

Another funny assertion... the GMD said..?? What criteria, exactly? You and your GMD should provide evidence that performance reviews were used in determining who was sent packing, and who was retained. What proof do you have that those people who were laid off, did not add any value to NNPC?

Provide proof of the so-called criteria please, so that your words can have true meaning. You know 'people who said...??"

That is the problem with Nigeria. People who always claim to know people, instead of relying on hard evidence and verifiable facts.

Later, they will turn round to claim that things don't work. How will it work when most folks prefer to rely on hearsay and 'people who know people'?

Miranda11:
If the 1000 are incompetent and have no value to add, then they shld go because there are a lot of incompetent hands in NNPC. A lot of the staff were recruited on a man know man basis which is not bad if they are competent to do the job and can add value to NNPC, but unfortunately this has not been the case so what's the need keeping some1 that has no value to add that's just a waste of moneyed . That money can be used to employ pple who are more competent and have value to add in order to help NNPC become a more profitable and efficient corporation.

This cleansing should apply to the entire agencies and parastatals under the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the federal civil service. To deserve a job with the Govt you must be competent to perform, gone are the days when incompetent pple are employed on a man know man basis. Change is truly here indeed.

Very funny! Provide proof please, that the entire 1,000 people were incompetent. This is one problem with Nigeria. You guys will shout blue murder if the affected people are your kinsmen, but as long as they remain faceless... you really do not care. There is something called professional experience, institutional memory etc. All these will be lost in a single day, because some clowns sat down and decided to lay off 1,000 people in one fell swoop instead of taking time out to conduct a thorough investigation, then gradually phase out those who are not pulling their weight, within the system. A well-structured handover and succession process would then be instituted, as these people gradually wind down, and leave the system. Was that done in this case?? Kindly let us know.

And where are the more competent people that are to be employed? Is it from the pool of unemployed graduates on our shores, that do not even know how to write a single business case or memo??

A man takes over as GMD of NNPC and in just one week decides that the first thing to do, is sack 1,000 people. It is not as if any process was automated, that made these people redundant. It is not that a new process or structure was instituted, that did not require the presence of so many people. It is not as if any major departmental function was outsourced. So what was the criteria used in laying off this huge number of staff?

What is the total number of staff employed by NNPC that would justify laying off 1,000 people? And do they even have enough money to pay off their terminal benefits in a timely manner??

God will punish the idiot that took pictures of the man and posted it online, instead of rushing him to the nearest hospital for help so that they can save his life!

If you OP are in a critical condition, may others be taking pictures of you, instead of helping you get medical attention to save your life!! Bloody IDIOT.

And the stupid idiot that took his photograph and posted it online,cannot offer any assistance to the victim?? Are you serious? You have enough time to snap the picture and upload it, yet you cannot rush the victim to a nearby hospital with the assistance of all those bystanders?

Are you for real?! Idiots like you should be prosecuted! Don't you realise that when anyone is in a critical condition, every second counts??!!

I said it before, and Kachikwu is proving me right... "the undertakers have arrived."

This man will go down in history, as the one who supervised the demise of NNPC.

Yungwizzzy:
1000 dropped to employ 5000 of their relatives and friends

True! Na so dem dey do. Just watch.

I said it before, and Kachikwu is proving me right... "the undertakers have arrived."

izeeqpotter:
Keep your distance from your lies?.

Who is the person telling lies? Or is there something you know, that we do not? Provide proof, please!

Hmmn.... the true gist about di matter don dey unfold small, small.

I don talk say nothing wey person no go see for dis place.

Lovesdaisied:
Typical blind bigot!

Ah, I see ... your true colours are coming out. You have just described yourself, with the words you posted up here. It is interesting to see you have also joined the bandwagon, along with your brothers in hate. Well done!

I refuse to support your tribe in their quest to continue spilling venom against other tribes, whenever they are the first to start the campaign of calumny!!

Mtcheew... anyway, na wetin concern me sef? Am not Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo. If una like, make una finish una self.

Lovesdaisied:
What?

Oh please. The hatref in this thread is unevenly lopsided against Igbos.

A blind bat can see that!

Lopsided in what way? Do a content analysis and let us know the result, biko! You cannot see that it was an Igbo man that launched the first assault against another tribe, after the OP posted the thread?

You cannot read the vitriol of hate that drips from the comments made by the Igbo, when they respond to posts from other tribes? That has always been the problem.

Don't try this usual cover up that your people keep doing here, on NL. If you need to see clearly, I fit borrow you my contact lenses, oh!

Lovesdaisied:
Wow!

Look at the pure hatred emanating towards igbos. And then they say that their paranoia is not justified?

Cc Sweetlemon.

How come you did not see the pure venom, hate and spite emanating from your fellow Igbo towards other tribes??! They are often the ones who cast the first stone on NL!

Would you say the online retaliation by other tribes is unjustified?

You are unlikely to see a Kanuri man dishing out hate to an Edo man online, or an Itsekiri spewing venom in the direction of a Gwari man or an Ibibio throwing barbs of hate in the direction of a Yoruba man, on NL. But with the Igbo...? Chai!

sweettinz20:
then u must be insane and an idiot to say it is not

Hehehe... you must have failed geography class in school. Kogi has about 6 different tribes located within its borders. e.g. Igala, Igbirra,Nupe, Okun etc.

hardbody:
Mere bufoonery.

When a foool talks you can only expect to hear fooolishness..

IMP

Am scratching my head, trying to understand your point. What 'bufoonery' are you talking about? Is it the one you have just displayed online as seen in your comments?

Don't you guys want Biafra anymore? Or have you changed your minds? I have read so many different posts on Nairaland about how the Igbo want Biafra, and so they are not interested in Nigeria because, (according to them) it is a zoo.

Or don't you agree with them??! Let us know.

new2020:
Who is your competitor? Do you think Igbos are your mate? This is the insult Igbos receive for being in one Nigeria. Many Yorubas for some stu$pid reason see Igbos as competitors. This explains why they envy and hate at any success of Igbos. The Irony of it is Igbos don't consider Yorubas by any stretch as a competitor at all. Igbos compete only amongst themselves or v worst case with whites.

Nwannem, this post makes it seem as if you are suffering from a persecution complex, with a degree of paranoia & inferiority/superiority complex inserted into the mix. Your choice of words leaves a lot to be desired. Who are those who told you on this thread that they envy your success or they hate you?? One Yoruba person will soon give you a response you will not like, before the day is over. Yet, na you first take mouth find trouble.

Bia, make we waka comot, before dem begin take us do yeye!

What needs to be done to move this thread to the front page??! The lessons in it, are quite instructive.

ArodewilliamsT:
This gworo-chewing loudmouth quota system "Dr" junaid should shut his mouth for one, lest he swallows flies. i know he has almajiri slaves. If Igbos could survive all the neglect of fulani military junta for 40 years, i don't why they can't survive for 4 years in a democracy. Mr Junaid i say to you Go to hell!


**modified** yoruba will come here and praise the gworo chwewing junaid forgetting that he once threatened that yoruba will never take illorin away from the fulani, in the event of a break up. Guys, just sit back and watch yoruba slavery in 3D.

Na wa, oh! Ogbuefi, maka gini ... you are heavily obsessed with the Yoruba people! Too much! Chai! Must you mention them, every second?! Why??!

If na 'juju' dem cook for you, let me recommend a church where you can do deliverance for free, to get them out of your system..??!

Dis Yoruba people, sef! Haba!

Aunty Susan, why are you taking panadol for this kind of headache? The Igbo people want their own country. It is called Biafra. Did anyone tell you, they are interested in Nigeria?? Haba! Don't turn back the clock for them, oh.

Txonyi:
since ten pm till now i have been on youtube watching biafra videos. i must confess its so beautiful. biafra is a sure thing, even the devil knows that. my morale is even higher than before, just like my director would say, IT IS BIAFRA OR DEATH.

Guy, lead the way. After you, biko nu. But wait o... have you made arrangements to ensure that those you leave behind will give you a beautiful funeral when you meet your waterloo, since you have said it is either Biafra or death??

adeitoro:
my dear you can't beat the Igbos.
I stay in Ogun state, with the rate Ogun indigene sell their properties to highest bidder, with time Ogun will become Igboland extension.

You know one thing about Igbos is that they develop their region and spread to other regions in Nigeria to dominate the indigene.

That is Igboman for you, no need of hiding the truth, Igbos don't compete with other tribe but among themselves.

Forget all nairaland e-warriors, real Igbos are out there making their dough in every Nigeria cottages.

Infact, between mowe to berger the number of companies owned by Igbos cannot be quantified.

God bless alaIgbo
God bless Nigeria.

Er... where is my popcorn and minerals?? Another fight is going to break out on this thread. Make I spread my mat and collect tickets from this corner.

Oya, wey una dey?? Na 500 naira per ticket, biko. Make una hold una change, oh. This match na heavyweight one.

In the blue corner is the Igbo group made up of ArodewilliamsT, tonychristopher, xtrorse, adeIToro etc and their ilk, who hold the Yoruba people responsible for all their woes. The bile and venom from their keyboards spews enough hatred to blind the unwary readers' sense of clarity, and those of their followers who believe in them. They delight in launching verbal onslaughts and offensive attacks against the Yoruba, irrespective of the time or hour of the day. They do not need any provocation. Any tool can be deployed in their mission - insults, curses, propaganda etc. Anything goes.

In the red corner is SLIDEwaxie, azzima, saintfizzo et al, who are ready to give as good as they get, and are ready to return the missiles with as much vigour, as they can muster. They do not draw first blood, but if attacked, they can release arsenal from their armoury to do quite a bit of damage. Their tools range from mockery to factual reports and verbal put downs. Insults too, are freely used when their anger gets the better of them. Unlike the Igbo, they do not hold other tribes responsible for their own woes, but are quick to tongue-lash those who want to use their ethnic group as a whipping boy.

This promises to be the grandmother of all internet wars. Stay tuned! Don't touch that dial!!

What are you hiding? Why is it so difficult for you to post the prices here, online? Why the secrecy?

There was another thread last week, where a guy advertised a car & refused to post the price. Another person called him, got the price over the phone and pasted it online.

So what makes you think that by keeping the price a secret, you will get more customers??!

No price?? No pictures?? And you want people to take you seriously??
