On Wednesday 6th of December, I was driving my family from Ondo to Akure to launch a new business.

We plan to start the event at 12 and it was already past 11am so I was rushing. Along Akure road, I saw this three police convoy going in front but they were not very fast.

I have a really fast car so I was like, I should overtake them and be on my way, I flashed the last pickup with about 3 policemen at the back but they didn't make any reaction and didn't gesture for me to go.

The road ahead of us was long and free, no incoming vehicles so I saw it as an opportunity.

After flashing twice again and no response, I decided to overtake all three pickup vehicles quickly so I switched to sport mode and decided to use my pedal shifter to go faster.

As soon as I revved and started overtaking them, they went crazy and started driving zig-zag on the road leaving me absolutely no room to go.

At the end they ran me into the nearly bush and parked me off. One of them decided to use their vehicles to intentionally brush my car while parking me off the road. They all came down, almost 20 of them and started shooting in the air.

They started shouting come down from this car! Hitting my car everywhere with fist and hitting my glass with the tail of their guns. Somehow my window didn't break even after they hit them 5 or 6 times. (Respect to Acura on that)

One of them pointed his gun at my vehicle and was about to shoot. I roll down my glass and started begging them.

My wife was sitting in front with me and my 2 year old daughter was sitting at the back in the hand of a friend we took along with us to act as MC for the occasion.

My wife quickly collected my daughter from the guy and held her to her chest cos she was already panicking and crying.

I think that was what saved our live cos as soon as they saw my daughter, somehow they calm down a little and started trying to drag me out of the car.

I vehemently refused to go down cos I know I will be beaten or even shot. After a few minutes of acting upset, shooting in the air, one of them that was fat and looks like their leader came down from the middle van.

That was the first time I noticed that the middle van was actually covered at the back which means they may be carrying something. They didn't use a bullion van so there was no indication that they were moving money and they didn't use siren either.

Long story short, the big guy that looked like the boss came to me and said why did I overtake them.

I explained that we were in a hurry and I flashed a few times before I attempted to overtake them and I also saw that the road was clear.

He looked at me, looked at my wife, looked at my crying daughter and looked at the guy at the back then asked me to come down that nothing will happen to me, I took my company's ID card and my guy at the back and I came down.

He checked the ID and said don't do that again. The others were shouting he must follow us to the station bla bla bla but he was calm.

Eventually they let us go.

They damaged the bumper of my vehicle in the process.

I know I was in the wrong by overtaking them without anyone gesturing that I can go but seriously, WHAT IS THE RULE TO THAT?
Especially on highway, with a wider road and not within the city.

I had to apologise to my family later cos I know it was a traumatic experience for them and I accepted my fault but I'm still confused on how I was wrong. The road was straight, long, clear of incoming vehicles and I flashed and horned.

Are we expected to follow convoy from wherever we see them to where ever they are going even if they are driving at 80km per hr?

u mentioned this paddle shifter and sport mode wella o. Its not really special like that na bcus my honda civic 2007 self get the paddle shifter and sport mode na

RuneKingThor:
In a sane country. Yes you can overtake the convoy as long as you are within the speed limit.

But in Nigeria, you can't. Doesn't matter what they are transporting, you can't overtake them.

I do overtake them everytime on lagos ibadan expressway though

What will another coach come and do that others have notbdone

they will sit upright if they are afraid of a leader. It happens everywhere.

In wrk places there are some leader the junior staff behave anyhow when he is around. And there are some, when they are around, everybody is calm and behave themselves.

Even in schools, those days there are some lectures we wouldn't dare to make a pim when they are in the class, and there are some we behave anyhow when they are lecturing.

Reussite:

I feel sorry for Poch

sorry ke. Is he not the one going for half baked player and insisting on the club not getting an experienced player so he could control the players. Insisting on Jackson rather than getting a solid striker and so on

Will they send those trillions to the ministries account in full chunk. If so, those ministers go get money wella bdat o

Omoawoke:
Some people made it look like the igbos owned the entire Lagos

I have said it again and again, quote me anywhere. The entire properties owned by igbos in Lagos no reach 5%. All na noise and empty chest beating

I was surprised when gistlover even posted that only igbos are targeted. It just made me realise being popular and an influencer does not translate to being intelligent

For those calling for military Regime, can you see how lawless the country will degenerate to should military take over.

We are in civilian government, look at the lawlessness being exhibited by military men week in week out, they act like gods, and like people living above the law. But the reason the President keeps quiet and watch the lawlessness of military personnels makes me wonder whether they permit them to behave as they like

shut up u lawless police man/ EFCC

Greetings everyone, I've been driving for over a year now and I've noticed we don't know how to use headlights in this country even my friend that visited from the US complained same thing.
I don't know if it's selfishness or what but how will someone be on very high beam even when opposite an incoming vehicle, I almost entered a ditch because an SUV beamed on my small Corolla to the point I couldn't even see properly, are there rules set for all these in this country?
God's willing if I don't leave this country within the next 2 years I'm getting a bigger vehicle and I will purposely install massive led lights I will be counter beaming people till they notice their mistake.

lol. Thought it's only me noticing this.
When on the highway you can use your high beam, ot on the street. but almost all drivers for my street wan blind person eyes

Dem get luck say no be city or Liverpool. Those ones for cancel all Thier positive goal difference.

who else notice sterling not attacking any longer after Chelsea score 2. The front line started flowing once he was sub off. He had a nice game though. But not scoring more goals to seal the win would have been dangerous

it is madness, isn't it? Maybe 50 million naira isn't a lot in Naigeria. Isn't that like £50000? that is a lot of money.

I wonder why non of them ever reason to use that money amd enrol in the best private universities in Nigeria for masters. Luck may shine and the connect with rich men billionaire kids

fullclub:


i am here warning people so u shouldn't say i should not say my mind.


if don't have the complete fees plus money for 12 months rent, n money for 12 months feeding... 40 million naira for now please stay back

if I get 40millon now, I go use 10m inside go dubai go flex for two weeks. I go use 5millon dey chop and guide wen I come bck Nigeria until I figured out wetin I go use the remaining 25m naira do.

Another option is to use 20m go one of the best private universities in Nigeria go pursue my masters. And Try my luck on any of billionaire pikin for the school. Abi

Since going to the UK na 50/50. Meeting billionaire pikinn for private school na 50/50 to. I choose the later, cus I no fit pack old man shit

justwise:
[/b]

We all know the answer to that question.

Don't tell people not to come to the UK because according to you ...Indians, Pakistani, Malaysia, china etc is overwhelming...

Tell them to come with that money they showed the embassy and the university before getting CAS and visa

If you have that money you will be focusing on your studies now and not job and how to pay remaining fees.

average man go use 50millon naira go learn business management for UK. Lol

Beverlyjean:
No one can honestly say Messi was the best player in the last 12 months . A 7 game tournament is not the only football that was played in the past 12 months ... If they say it's all about the world cup, how come mbappe dint finish second ... Mbappe had a better tournament than Messi....was top scorer with 8goals ( 2 penalties included) ... anyone that understands this game knows its all propaganda...

2010 Spain won their first ever world cup , they dint remember that it was all about the world cup . They still gave it to Messi, saying he won la liga and was top scorer in Europe and champions league ... 12 yrs later , halaand wins mancitys first ever treble , top scorer in the league with a new record , top scorer in champions league, top scorer in Europe and they still give Messi that PSG fans booed out of France for failing to help the team pass round of 16 in CL....

As someone rightly said, if halaand won the world cup and Messi won the champions league and ligue1 with psg and was top scorer in both competitions, they will still give Messi...

Fifa and the balon dor are just Messi lickers .... no football player in history has ever received 10% pampering Messi has received in his career ...

Suddenly winning the world cup gets u the balon dor... but it dint in 2010, 2014 and 2018... Messi wins the WC and it becomes a criteria again... if u condemn INEC and support this nonsense award , then u are a certified hypocrite

you have no problem with the argentina keeper from (Aston villa)(world cup trophy only) winning the best keeper in the world, but you have a problem with the Argentina Messi(world cup trophy, league 1, best player in world cup, over 60goal contributions etc) winning the best player in the world.

Yes they will still give Messi because he his the Goat. Halaand is good and scored goals, but he is very far behind Messi in terms of soccer playing generally. He did not even feature in wlthw world cup.

De brune is very good just like Messi but the difference is Messi is way ahead of him only in terms of goal scoring. If debrune had improve his goal scoring ability and scored a considerable number of goals. He would have won the award.

Mbappe. Very good player. Perfect. He didn't win the award because he did not win the world cup. Assuming France won ahead of Argentina. Mbappe will be crown the best. Winning the league alone won't give him the award when Messi won the league and worldcup with considerable number of goal contributions.....

Players that won the worldcup and didn't receive the award are not just good enough to outshine Messi play making.

Modric is a very skilled playmaker and he won the world despite coming runners up in the worldcup...

For you to win the award ahead of Messi, you have to play like him and win trophys.....


If Messi hadn't performed up to par last year, hallamd or mbappe would have won it easily.


Remember Harry kane scored 40goals last year, and he still came 19th in position.

Messi is infinity

Self denial doesn't change reality...how much have you earned this year? Convert it to any foreign currency then judge your effort.

That NLer is one of the many stupid gullible electorates i told you will enable rigging for corrupt politicians.
Just imagine the slowpoke saying it's easier to make it in Nigeria when even multiple multinational companies are folding up to move out...even the president is begging for investors...very anyhow thinking and dumb electorates.

It's either you lack comparative comprehension ability or you're a kid

How much is an hour minimum wage in los Angeles? BTW I stayed in California for 3 months back in 2012...


Wittyness.

ok. California right.

The average and lowest price of buying a house in california is $850,000. The average salary in california is $5,000 per month. Let's do the calculations. I.e it will take the average man in california 14years of saving all his monthly wage to buy a house.

Likewise with 15m naira you can build a low wage house in Nigeria. Infact people can use less than 15m to build an Average low wage home in Nigeria. The average salary in Nigeria is 85,000 naira. I.e it will take the average Nigerian 13years of saving all his monthly wage to buy a house.

So bcus my 15m naira here in Nigeria is $15,000 in california does not mean I can't build a decent house for my self here with that....

Why should I convert what I earn monthly in Nigeria to Amy foreign country currency while I live in Nigeria and spend naira. Does that make any sense. Fine what I earn in Nigeria won't get me anything in your USA, but it will go a long way in Nigeria where I'm staying.

Again, there's no justification for madness, there's madness for a reason.

it does not change the fact that 50kg cement in Nigeria is 5$ and that 5$ won't get you common buger in Los Angeles.

why should he convert it to any foreign country currency. Price of 1bag of cement in Nigeria is 5$. Can that 5$ get u a good meal in a restaurant in the US?

So remember for any 5$ you use to eat sweet in the US, u are eating 1 bag of cement.

Who eats church tithes should be the real question because I know God doesn't care about our tithes and offerings

And any church owned by one person is his business or company fully registered at the CAC

All Nigerian pastors are business men and women

pastor use it to build churches and buy cars for churches. Then register them with his own name

I'm building church for God with others people money. Na God House o, but na my name dey papers and document

If a store owner goes to his store and pays for the goods already his own, which pocket does the money return to?

He is only decieving himself and such payments are done mostly as eye service.

no. The money will move from his normal acc to his biz acc

fuckJones:
Tithes and offering are gifts given to God. Thus the tithes and offerings are a reflection of one’s love for God and is given freely.

The Apostle Paul writes, “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (II Cor. 9:7–.

So in my opinion, “Are you suppose to pay tithes to your own church if you’re the pastor?”

pastor will pay tight with 10 percent of congregation total tight money una give am
