What a country! Government should have no hand in airport, railway services, hospitals, public transport, water and power sectors. Fully privatize these sectors and see how fast we will develop.
OPEN LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF ETCHE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA AND THE CHAIRMAN OF OBIO-AKPOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
To: Hon. Chima Njoku Chairman, Etche Local Government Area
Dr. Gift Worlu Chairman, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area
Subject: Urgent Appeal for Resolution of the Land and Boundary Dispute Affecting New Jerusalem Estate (AN AREA SITUATED ALONG ENEKA - IGBO-ETCHE LINK ROAD), Port Harcourt
Dear Honourable Chairmen,
We, the residents of New Jerusalem Estate, Port Harcourt, respectfully write to bring to your attention the persistent dispute over the ownership and jurisdiction of our estate, which is being claimed by both Atali Community and Igbo-Etche Community.
For some time now, residents of New Jerusalem Estate have found themselves caught in the middle of this dispute. Both communities have asserted claims over the area and, as a result, residents have reportedly been subjected to demands for various fees and levies from both sides.
This situation has created considerable uncertainty, anxiety and hardship for ordinary residents who simply want to live peacefully in their homes.
We respectfully wish to emphasize that residents should not be made to bear the consequences of a boundary or ownership dispute between communities. People who have invested their savings in building and maintaining their homes should not have to live with the fear of being caught up in an escalating disagreement over which community has jurisdiction over their properties.
We therefore make this humble but urgent appeal to both Local Government Chairmen to jointly intervene in the matter.
We respectfully request that your offices:
1. Conduct or facilitate an official assessment of the disputed area and establish the appropriate administrative boundary between Etche and Obio-Akpor Local Government Areas.
2. Engage the leadership of Atali and Igbo-Etche communities in a peaceful and transparent process to resolve the dispute.
3. Clearly demarcate the boundary on the ground, where necessary, so that residents can know which local government and community jurisdiction their properties fall under.
4. Call for an end to multiple and competing levies or fees being imposed on residents until the jurisdictional issue is conclusively resolved.
5. Provide adequate security and protection for residents so that no resident is harassed, intimidated or threatened as a result of the dispute.
6. Communicate the outcome of the boundary determination publicly, giving residents and all concerned communities clarity and confidence about the status of the area.
Our appeal is not intended to take sides with either Atali or Igbo-Etche. We are simply residents seeking peace, clarity and security.
We believe that this matter can be resolved through dialogue, proper documentation, physical boundary demarcation and the cooperation of the two Local Government Areas and the affected communities.
We respectfully urge both Chairmen to treat this matter as urgent and important, before the situation escalates further. The people living in New Jerusalem Estate deserve to go about their daily lives without fear, confusion or the pressure of competing community claims.
We want to sleep in our homes with our two eyes closed.
We therefore appeal to the good offices of Hon. Chima Njoku, Chairman of Etche Local Government Area, and Dr. Gift Worlu, Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, to come together, engage the relevant traditional/community authorities and resolve and clearly adjust the boundary once and for all.
We believe that decisive intervention by both Local Government Councils will bring lasting peace and prevent further hardship to innocent residents.
Thank you for your attention and anticipated intervention.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Residents of New Jerusalem Estate Port Harcourt, Rivers State

yomisams: I visited where the Rich people Stay in Benin Republic. People saying Benin Republic is really changing is actually not a lie. first thing first. Cotonou is becoming one of the cleanest cities in West Africa. this neighborhood especially is one of those places. also, this wealthy neighborhood is where the president villa is, the popular Amazon, different embassies and so on. I did a drive through and walk through the neighborhood. let me know what you think about these places.
AnonPoet: The FIFA World Cup 2026 is down to its final eight teams, and there are no easy games left. Former champions have crashed out, Africa still has one representative, and football's biggest stars are chasing both the trophy and the Golden Boot. Here are the biggest storylines ahead of the quarter-finals.
Can Morocco Keep Africa Dreaming? Morocco are Africa's last hope after knocking out the Netherlands and Canada. Now they face tournament favourites France on Thursday, 9 July at 9:00 pm, live on SS World Cup Central (DStv Ch. 202, GOtv Ch. 61)
France have looked strong throughout the tournament, led by Kylian Mbappé's seven goals, but Morocco have already shown they fear nobody. Another upset would send them into the semi-finals for the second World Cup in a row.
Can Anyone Score Against Spain? Spain are quietly becoming the team to beat. They are the only side yet to concede a goal at this World Cup and now face Belgium on Friday, 10 July at 8:00 pm. Belgium have already eliminated Senegal and the United States, making this Spain's toughest defensive test yet.
Haaland vs Kane Headlines the Weekend Norway against England on Saturday, 11 July at 10:00 pm could easily be the standout quarter-final. Norway shocked Brazil in the last round, while England edged past Mexico. The game also pits two of Europe's deadliest strikers against each other as Erling Haaland and Harry Kane battle for a place in the last four.
Can Anyone Catch Messi? Lionel Messi continues to lead the Golden Boot race with eight goals and one assist. Mbappé and Haaland are right behind on seven goals each, while Harry Kane has six.
Messi has scored in every match Argentina have played and will look to continue that run against Switzerland on Sunday, 12 July at 2:00 am. The Swiss, however, have already eliminated Colombia and will fancy their chances of causing another upset.
The Giants Keep Falling This World Cup has shown that reputation means very little.Germany are out. Brazil are out. Portugal are out. The Netherlands are out. Another heavyweight will join that list before the quarter-finals are complete.
Quarter-final Fixtures France vs Morocco – Thu, 9 Jul, 9:00 PM Spain vs Belgium – Fri, 10 Jul, 8:00 PM Norway vs England – Sat, 11 Jul, 10:00 PM Argentina vs Switzerland – Sun, 12 Jul, 2:00 A
Watch Every Quarter-final Live Every FIFA World Cup quarter-final will be shown live on SuperSport via DStv and GOtv, with coverage available on SS World Cup Central (DStv Ch. 202, GOtv Ch. 61) and SS World Cup Extra (DStv Ch. 203, GOtv Ch. 65). Fans can also follow the games with Pidgin commentary on SS WC Naija (DStv Ch. 204, GOtv Ch. 62) or stream the matches live on the DStv Stream and GOtv Stream apps.
France, Spain, England, and Argentina will proceed. France will win the world cup.
If you are a punter, stake in this. This I have seen!
Since Gernot Rohr (whom you all said doesn't play entertaining football) left, we have not found our foot in football again. That man was doing well before politics entered.

This is correct. If you study JAMB past questions very well, you will notice that most answers are usually C or D.
laughter25: I need advice please, I just converted my Toyota Picnic to CNG, now am finding it difficulty to start the car in the morning, different mechanic has done different things yet no solution, I have gone to the CNG people and they said the CNG option can not affect the car starting,. I don't want to remove the CNG yet because it has reduced my weekly fuel cost . I don't know if any one here had a similar experience?
Your CNG needs to start with petrol first. Go to a mechanic workshop that knows what they are doing. Leave all these "Kazeems" mechanics.
adedapodvirus001: Good morning my people. Please I need an advise on what to do on this matter. A popular Instagram vendor refused to refund my wife for a failed purchase. My wife say saw the bag on her page and messaged her if the bag is still available to which she responded that it's available. My wife paid for the bag Immediately and after some hours she came back to my wife and said that the bag is no longer available. She promised to refund my wife but it's been almost one month now no refund. She kept on putting my wife on "is coming ".
The amount of money involved is 110k.
I don't know why it's difficult for Nigerian vendors to do business with integrity and honesty.They will go on Instagram ranting on how they have made much money and how successful they are but they are dubious and greedy.
I need suggestions on best way to recover the money.
Inform VeryDarkMan. This is the kind of case he likes. Warn your wife to stop buying stuff online. If she must, let her go with the option of payment on delivery.
Tension flared in Port Harcourt after a routine roadside encounter escalated into a dramatic confrontation between Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) and an angry crowd of residents. The incident, captured in a viral video, showed members of the public rallying around a motorist and openly challenging the actions of the officers, with some accusing them of acting outside their legal authority.
As emotions ran high, onlookers could be heard demanding explanations from the VIO personnel, while others insisted that the motorist had been unfairly targeted. The situation quickly drew a large crowd, turning the scene into a heated public standoff that threatened to spiral out of control. The footage has since sparked widespread debate online about road enforcement practices, citizens' rights, and the growing frustration of Nigerians over perceived official excesses.
That's CFC junction. Those set of VIO there are very foolish. Why do people stop for VIOs?
zeenaman: I had a very unpleasant experience with VIO officials yesterday, one that rendered me helpless and cheated. It's been 24 hours since the incident, but I'm still seething, not just for the money they extorted me of, but for the vulnerability of ordinary Nigerians in the hands of state-empowered irrational people in uniforms, and in some instances, with guns.
I had a very important place to visit, and was already running late. These guys stopped me, asked for all vehicle documents, which I presented to them. Determined to find a fault, and capitalise on it to extort me, they said the temporary driver's license I was holding was unstamped. The same licence I paid for in full since last year February, and they are yet to schedule me for capturing. Whose fault was it that I've not been captured? I applied for the licence in a government's licencing office, where it should have been stamped according. Why should I bear the brunts?
They made me lose my appointment, deprived me of an opportunity, forced me to their office and extorted me. They insisted I pay in cash, at that point, I knew it was a pure robbery, and unfortunately, I could do nothing against a state-weaponised extortionists.
We can't continue like this as a people, this system is corrupt at all levels, no accountability anywhere.
Your temporary DL expires after every 3 or 6 months depending on who stamped it. Always go and stamped it before it expires.
Your number mistake is stopping for them. How long have you been driving not to know this?
Kalulu44: Good day and happy Sunday to you all. At 45 it still beat my imagination that I get freak out by anything crawling especially snakes. This morning while coming out from my apartment, I saw this snake crawling inside my compound while being escorted by a bird (funny scenario), I guess it came from the bush opposite my house and crawl thru under my gate. Immediately I saw it, instead of me killing it I got freak out. . I quickly took some steps away and hurriedly went to call one of the two guys working in our hotel which is just the next house. One of the guy said I shouldn't call him in matters of snake (my likeness) It was the youngest guy who I am 22 yrs older than that came to kill the snake. Even after he killed it, when snapping it with my phone, I was scared as if the snake will suddenly come back alive and hurt me. After that, I took a stick and picked it to go throw away. Still I was afraid. . This is me that's not afraid to enter any bush or forest whether day or night. This is me that's not afraid to enter any dangerous area or neighborhood. This is me that's not scared of anything be it ghost, armed robbers, cultist e.t.c but snakes no matter how small it's as been my only phobia. So guys! I'm asking, is there a way I can stop myself from being afraid of snakes? Or is it too late cus I'm too old?
Your own is better sef. As an adult, I am still scared of millipede or centipede.
Nigerian Nurses and Zero Confidentiality: A Short Ward Drama 😭🏥
We talk about medical ethics, patient privacy, and HIPAA charts in textbooks, but the moment some of our local nurses resume morning shift on the ward, all that grammar just flies out the window. Imagine an early-morning hungry man sitting quietly in a heavily crowded general outpatient reception, already sweating from anxiety. The AC is always on but never chills.
Suddenly, a senior nurse walks out of the treatment room, looks over the entire crowd of patients, and to her colleague at the records desk she asks in what she felt was a low tone: "Nurse Chika! Abeg where is that Syphilis man that came in this morning?" Omo, shame wear me djellaba me wey wan be good citizen to coem do the routine HIV checks. I don die.
The entire waiting room went ice-cold immediately. Everybody slowly turned their heads, scanning the rows of chairs, trying to spot the official owner of the title. The poor patient, face burning with heavy embarrassment, raised his hand slightly and muttered in an igbotic disguest ...politely, as we faked a smile and was standing slowly. Even me come dey pity am.
The nurse didn't even blink. She just flipped her folder, and said: "Oga there are a lot of people waiting. Should we call the next person?"
Highly uncalled for, completely unprofessional, but average daily behavior in a local clinic. Na so oga syphilis even nearly tumble for tiled floor a he missed a foot.
Anyways, back to discussion.
Here are 50 things we mostly do before/after or while visiting a clinic or hospital that may seem right but wrong:
1. Sharing prescription drugs with another patient on the ward because you feel your sickness is exactly the same as theirs. Lol.
2. Adjusting the drip (IV infusion) roller clamp yourself because you feel it is dropping too slowly and you want to go home early.
3. Stopping your prescribed antibiotics halfway because the symptoms have cleared and you claim you are healed by faith. Why didn't you meet your pastor naw
4. Sneaking traditional herbs or agbo inside your bag to drink under the bed sheets while orthodox medications are still running in your system.
5. Lying to the doctor about completing your previous medication dosage out of fear of being shouted at.
6. Taking paracetamol, antimalarials, and antibiotics at home for a week, and then telling the doctor you have not taken any drug at all when you arrive. Hehehe
7. Bringing a whole church group, your complete extended family, or a village meeting to crowd the bedside of a patient in an intensive care or general ward.
8. Sneaking heavy, oily solid food like pounded yam or highly seasoned pepper soup to a patient who is placed on a strict, medically managed diabetic or hypertensive diet.
9. Arguing or trying to bribe the security guard at the gate to let you in outside official visiting hours.
10. Waking up a heavily sedated or sleeping patient just to tap them and ask, "Sorry, how are you feeling now?"
11. Holding loud, aggressive prayer sessions, binding spirits, and screaming in a general ward, thereby disturbing other critically ill patients who desperately need quiet rest. Na these ones I detest the most
12. Allowing toddlers and young children to play on the hospital floor, run around corridors, or touch disposal bins during visits.
13. Sitting comfortably on the patient’s hospital bed instead of using the visitor's chair, introducing outside bacteria straight to their bedding.
14. Spitting phlegm or saliva into the bathroom hand-wash sink or out the window instead of using designated disposal units.
15. Touching or pressing buttons on medical monitors, oxygen concentrators, or adjusting catheters because you feel the tubes look uncomfortable.
16. Throwing used baby diapers, sanitary pads, or bloody cotton wool into the regular waste bin instead of the color-coded biohazard bins meant for clinical waste.
17. Walking straight from the streets into a ward to touch a newborn baby or an incision site without washing your hands or using a sanitizer.
18. Demanding to see the Chief Medical Director or the Doctor-in-Charge immediately because the queue to collect your medical folder is moving slowly.
19. Raining insults on the nurses on duty because the doctor has not arrived, forgetting that nurses do not control the doctors' transit or emergency schedules.
20. Utilizing an internal connection or "who you know" to bypass the emergency room queue when other patients are in far more critical, life-threatening conditions.
21. Complaining bitterly and shouting at the pharmacist or lab technician about the high cost of drugs and tests, as if they are the ones who set the hospital tariff.
22. Threatening medical staff with your social status, your uniform, or spiritual curses when procedures do not go exactly the way you imagined.
23. Begging or demanding that the doctor "just give me drip," believing that a treatment is completely useless unless it involves a fluid bag or an injection.
24. Assuming a young doctor is incompetent or clueless just because they opened a medical app or a manual on their phone to crosscheck a drug interaction.
25. Forcing water, herbal mixtures, or glucose into the mouth of an unconscious or convulsing patient to "revive" them, which causes the fluid to enter their lungs and suffocate them.
26. Forcefully discharging a patient "Against Medical Advice" to take them to a prayer house or a native doctor, only to bring them back to the emergency room when the condition becomes irreversible. You will see what you want, no worry...
27. Refusing a specific pill brand and demanding a particular color of drug because "the yellow capsule is what always cures my body."
28. Refusing life-saving blood transfusions for your dying relative based on personal theories that the blood might be spiritually contaminated or alter their destiny.
29. Sneaking out of the ward at night or jumping the hospital fence to abscond and avoid paying your accumulated medical bills. LOL.
30. Bringing out your smartphone to take photos or record videos of patients, accidents, or medical staff performing procedures without explicit permission.
31. Demanding an immediate X-ray or CT scan for a minor, everyday headache because you believe the doctor is playing with your health.
32. Looking directly at a female doctor wearing a stethoscope and calling her "Nurse," while insisting on waiting for a male counterpart whom you assume is the "real doctor."
33. Hiding your history of traditional scarification, spiritual treatments, or previous surgeries when the doctor is taking your medical history.
34. Pouring anointing oil or holy water directly into open surgical wounds or fresh burns on the ward, which introduces severe bacterial infections.
35. Aggressively pressurizing a doctor to write a fake medical report or issue an unearned sick leave certificate so you can skip work or school.
36. Openly blaming a child's obvious genetic or congenital health condition on a spiritual attack from your village elders right in front of the child and the medical team. Idi iberibe makachi
37. Leaving your urine or stool sample bottles uncovered on the laboratory counter, or exposing them to direct sunlight when you were instructed to keep them shaded.
38. Reusing old, disposable plastic water bottles to collect urine samples, or washing out specimen bottles with soap and water before filling them up.
39. Refusing to sign an emergency consent form for a life-saving surgery because you insist you must call your husband's elder brother or a church pastor first.
40. Expecting a doctor to diagnose a complex, long-standing medical issue in less than two minutes without allowing them to run proper laboratory investigations.
41. Giving a newborn baby herbal concoctions or heavy formulas in the maternity ward when the pediatricians have explicitly ordered strict, exclusive breastfeeding.
42. Practical cutting off your hospital identification wristband with a razor blade because you complain that it feels like a handcuff or ruins your outfit.
43. Treating a severe kitchen burn or hot oil scald at home with raw eggs, toothpaste, or palm oil before finally presenting at the hospital when the skin goes septic.
44. Shouting "God forbid!" and becoming deeply offended when a doctor suggests a psychiatric evaluation for a family member showing clear signs of severe mental illness. LOL. E erything, una go dey thin person don kolo
45. Bringing a critically injured patient to the emergency room and refusing to pay for a medical card or basic admission deposits, arguing that "life comes first" means everything must be free until you are ready.
46. Sitting heavily on the floors of the corridors, hallways, or emergency room staircases, effectively blocking the movement of emergency stretchers and crash carts.
47. Purposely hiding a patient's history of heavy smoking, drug abuse, or sexual history from the medical team due to family shame or stigma.
48. Peeling back a sterile surgical dressing with your bare fingers out of pure curiosity just to see if the operation wound is healing properly.
49. Making active phone calls or browsing directly next to sensitive life-support machines and ventilators where "No Mobile Phones" signs are clearly posted.
50. Believing that if a patient unfortunately passes away in the hospital, it is automatically the fault of the medical team, leading to the physical assault of doctors and the destruction of expensive hospital equipment.
Ok o. Which one una dey do??
Omo, I'm guilty of about 5 oo.
Meanwhile, are you from Ohafia? The last statement on number 36 is a signal
