years ago i was traveling to Coasta Rica and i was pulled aside at New York to be searched and when we were leaving Coasta Rica i was pulled aside and hand searched in front of everyone. so your experience is everywhere as long as you are carryin that green pali

Truth is I was actually pulled into a room again when i was finally departing South Africa though this time, only the details of my passport were written down and they asked some annoying and irritating questions before allowing me to go. It is quite an uneasy feeling. People will start staring at you like as if you've been caught with marijuana.

I was in king shaka airport last year and never experienced anything of such. I came in through joburg. The only thing I sensed was that you have to be very nice when speaking to their staffs otherwise.......

Guy na so I see am o. For say na only me, i go feel say na just one random occurrence but my other guy went through same.
I went directly from Dubai.

This is quite strange to me and I am not sure if there are people on this platform that would have had similar experience at one point or the other.
I had this client meeting that made me fly to Durban sometimes last week. While waiting to pick up my bag from the conveyor belt at King Shaka airport upon arrival, one of the security men brought in a hybrid dog (one eye was black, the other somewhat blue) to sniff around the luggages and trust me, I had no headache with that because I have seen such before elsewhere and besides, no be only my bag the dog dey smell.

I finally picked up my bag after the belt rolled around for several annoying minutes and headed straight for the airport exit, alongside my colleague from our Kenya office who we departed Dubai together on the same flight. He was also billed to attend the same meeting, also a colleague from the Nigeria office who came in much later with a different flight.

Moving along, I was stopped by one of the immigration officers while my Kenya guy wasn't stopped. The kenya guy black pass me well well, so i wasn't stopped based on skin colour. Guess it was my green naija passport that gave me away. I obliged and after narrating my mission in Durban, the guy scribbled the information on my passport on a piece of paper and afterwards, my bags and I were searched but just sparingly. Nothing found. I angrily packed my bags. Almost exiting the airport, i heard someone calling out and looked back to see another immigration officer pacing fast towards me, asking me to stop, then gestured me into another room. One would think they finally caught me with cocaine the way i was told to enter into the room

Now my fears started piling up. So many thoughts started running through my mind just in few seconds. Could it be that my colleague that came to my hotel room in Dubai slipped something in my bag, could it be my friend that stayed over at my place in Ghana a day before leaving my base hid something in my bag? Foolish thoughts though but that's what happens when you go through what i experienced.

I was in the waiting room when the security guy came in with his dog to sniff my bag. Chisos! Well, being the gentleman I am, I allowed all the rubbish and after moving around like a dog high on alomo bitters, the guy left with his dog. Then I had to unzip my bag for another manual search, this time a quick one. All said and done, nothing was found. With all the wasted time, I packed my bag once again and left.

Unknowingly, just as I was about narrating my experience to my colleague from Nigeria when he arrived at the hotel, he started lamenting his similar experience too at the same airport, that he actually went through the same thing I did. I think our green-covered passport is really under scrutiny in that country. Is this how bad our reputation is in South Africa that we go through such profiling? Or is it just natural hatred for Nigerians? Has anyone ever experienced same or similar or was it just my friend and I that were unfortunate to go through that only on that day? It is really a shame and very embarrassing.

Kenzico:
What about the case of Taye Taiwo or Macauley Chrisantus?

How are you so sure they are broke? They are playing for not too popular clubs but that doesn't mean they are broke. Just like saying Asamoah Gyan playing for Shangai something is broke because he plays for a lower league. The guy is stark rich.

We know that UK Football stars earn a lot during the course of their career. In fact, they are even able to purchase big lavish mansions and live a lifestyle which many of us can only dream of. However, they have no immunity to the culprits in life which destroys everything we got. If there are the football stars who were able to handle their finances well, there are those who were not. Let us take a look at some of the UK football stars who after they became rich, lost everything.

Our own Celestine Babyaro isn't missing in action in this situation.

prettyjo:
i have not seen a green colour too

Guess that's why it is as a result of rare genetic disorder...meaning not so common.

MANILA - Sometimes it's yellow, sometimes it's a darker shade and sometimes it's almost transparent — but what does the color of your pee says about your health?

A lot, according to Frances Monette Bragais, MD, a urologist at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute.

Bragais said one of the first things the color of urine tells a person is his or her hydration. For example, when a person wakes up in the morning and pees dark yellow urine, it means he or she is a little dehydrated and has to drink water.

But Bragais said that there are other factors to consider too. Like for example, a person taking medication might excrete brownish orange urine because of the medicine or vitamins.

She added that a person who's been drinking beer for quite a while may expect brownish orange pee.
A person, with pinkish red urine, meanwhile, needs to see a doctor at once, because this color means there's blood.

According to Bragais, cancer might also be the cause of a pinkish red urine.

Meanwhile, Bragais also said a person's urine should only emit foul odor ("mapanghi" in Filipino) when it's been left unflushed in the toilet bowl, as bacteria begins to build up.

If it does smell, it means there could be an infection in a person's urinary tract and he or she should go see a urologist. -- Salamat Dok, ABS-CBN

Happy birthday a true icon.

ATERI:
Really? No worries sir...

` Crowd wey dey kuje prison go fill the entire prison for holland`. How about that? Post one, get one free!!!

What is dis one saying

I don't know how this country got to this point. What a big shame.

Good news.

These two shameless he-goats.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has asked Governor Nyesom Wike to be holistic in his comments about developmental projects in Rivers State.

Amaechi who was reacting to Wike’s statement on the Rivers monorail project, where he (Governor Wike) said he will not touch the project based on the advise of the people of Rivers State, explained that Governor Wike does not understand that the monorail project belonged to the Rivers people and not him, Amaechi.

Amaechi said same Rivers people had consistently praised the project and had seen it as a way to jump-start the local economy and place the state at the forefront of transport infrastructural development in Africa.

He also said most of the projects being referred to as abandoned projects by Governor Wike were ninety-percent completed.

Amaechi, however, cautioned Governor Nyesom Wike to stop lying to the people of Rivers State.

He said, “Governor Wike said that he will not touch Amaechi’s monorail and that the entire state has told him not to continue with the project. Can someone please tell Wike that the monorail belongs to Rivers State and it’s not Amaechi’s private monorail”, Amaechi stated.

“Governor Wike, which Rivers people told you not to touch the monorail project? Is it the same Rivers people that have consistently praised the project and see it as a catalyst to jump-start the local economy and place the state at the forefront of transport infrastructural development in Africa? Or is Wike aggregating the jaundiced views of the coterie of court-jesters that hang around him daily, as the opinion of the entire people of the State?

“It is sad, very sad that Wike has elected to play politics with this laudable project that was almost completed before Amaechi left office”, he added.

Amaechi, who preceded Wike as governor of the state then described Wike as a “shameless liar” for either underplaying projects embarked upon by his administration or cornering them as his achievement.

“Governor Wike also described several ongoing projects in the State when Amaechi left office as ‘abandoned projects’, which he claimed to have completed or about to complete.

“He specifically mentioned the Ogoni-Andoni-Opobo Unity road that connects the Island of Opobo to Andoni and the rest of the State. What a shameless lie! This project was ongoing and was almost completed as at May 29, 2015. May we also remind Wike that the Eagle Island- Diobu road that he once claimed to have been abandoned was 90 percent completed with just the final course of coal tar remaining as at when he succeeded Amaechi.

“It’s repudiating that Wike would even attempt to rubbish and destroy the laudable projects and achievements Amaechi made in the health and educational sectors as governor.

“Shamefully, what has happened in the past months since Wike became governor is that Wike has neglected the model schools and health facilities built by Amaechi and have allowed them to rot away, taken over by weeds and grasses, in tandem with his policy of not wanting to touch Amaechi’s projects or build on Amaechi’s enduring legacies.

“Governor Wike, these projects belong to Rivers State and its people, not Amaechi,” he reiterated.

Nigeria Police and their stvpidity. So the driver is at fault

Unfortunately, I've got no sympathy my this bro. Only in Nigeria will you see people jumping on a moving vehicle, especially police & agbero. Isn't that madness.
Besides, you are a thief. Serves you right.

A 25-year-old man, identified simply as Idowu, has been killed by a truck driver, Fatai Olawunmi, on the Apogbon Road, Lagos Island.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Idowu was among a group of hoodlums who besieged the truck with number plate, KZR 117 ZT, demanding money from the driver.

The deceased was said to have climbed the back of the trailer without the knowledge of the driver, who in a bid to escape the harassment, jumped into the vehicle and sped off.

Idowu reportedly fell onto the road and was rushed to a general hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
A source said the incident happened around 5pm on Sunday.

He said, “The truck was laden with bags of cement and the driver stopped to cover the cement with a tarpaulin on the Apongbon Bridge.
“Some hoodlums immediately surrounded him and demanded money. Idowu was among the boys; he climbed the back of the truck. The driver suddenly jumped into the vehicle and zoomed off.

“Idowu fell off and he was rushed to the Lagos Island General Hospital where he died.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the suspect was in police custody. She added that investigations were ongoing.

I don`t know whether that has changed, but the private school system used to be very unpopular in The Netherlands. Everybody learns the same thing from nursery to secondary school. Countries that are good are not good for no reason.
America is not alone in this show of shame; their cousins in London imprison more people than any other countries in the EU
When we called them Apartheid society, it wasn`t an exaggeration. They are tough on crime rather than being tough on the causes of crime. The more unequal a society is, the higher its prison population. That is what democratic capitalism is all about.

Guy, talk about naija first, no go too far.

Crowd wey dey kuje prison alone go fill the entire prison for holland

In 2013, 19 prisons in the Netherlands closed because the country didn't have enough criminals to fill them.

Now, five more are slated to close their doors by the end of the summer, according to internal documents obtained by The Telegraaf.

While these closures will result in the loss of nearly 2,000 jobs, only 700 of which will transition into other unknown roles within Dutch law enforcement, the trend of closing prisons follows a steady drop in crime since 2004.

The problem of empty jail cells has even gotten to the point where, last September, the country imported 240 prisoners from Norway just to keep the facilities full.

Still, according to The Telegraaf's report, Justice Minister Ard van der Steur announced to parliament that the cost of maintaining sparsely-filled prisons was cost-prohibitive for the small country.

A number of factors underlie the Netherlands' ability to keep its crime rate so low, namely, relaxed drug laws, a focus on rehabilitation over punishment, and an electronic ankle monitoring system that allows people to re-enter the workforce.

A study published in 2008 found the ankle monitoring system reduced the recidivism rate by up to half compared to traditional incarceration. Instead of wasting away in a jail cell, eating up federal dollars, convicted criminals are given the opportunity to contribute to society.

These measures all add up to an unbelievably low incarceration rate: Although the Netherlands has a population of 17 million, only 11,600 people are locked up. That's a rate of 69 incarcerations per 100,000 people.

The US, meanwhile, has a rate of 716 per 100,000 — the highest in the world. It's marked largely by its lack of attention to social services and rehabilitation programs once prisoners finish their sentences. Without a safety net to give them any other options, many fall back into their old habits.

Seeing as how the Netherlands is literally importing prisoners to keep jails full, larger countries like the US could learn a thing or two from the Dutch model.
