geek4k: Despite the ecstatic vibe attached to the last day of the year (Gruesome 2020 especially), It ended sadly for me as I experienced a near death situation.
On 31st December, I and my friend decided to experience a great cross-over night at Glory Dome, Dunamis Church Abuja. We boarded a bus from Arab junction, Jabi to Lugbe where the Church is located.
Less than halfway through the journey, the bus began to develop issues and finally stopped just before Wuye Arab bridge. We all had to come down from the vehicle in pursuit of an alternative to our various destinations.
I and my friend walked over to the other end of the bridge while we waited for a cab heading our route. Unluckily for us, we stood there for a while, we couldn’t find any cab as most of them were already filled up and most of the other passengers had already gone their separate ways.
It was becoming dark, lonely, and scary giving the nature of the place we were standing. Just less than 4feets our back were bushes, albeit downhill, and underneath the bridge is a railway track, you won’t be able to tell even because it’s filled with outright darkness.
It was becoming tiring and frustrating, we looked down and noticed 3 guys heading our position, they were seated initially for some while, we both thought they were from same vehicle we boarded and frustrated as we were, my friend suggested we team up with them and look for cab together, I jokingly replied “What if they’re here to rob us..?” We both laughed.
Unbeknownst to us, they actually were. They got closer and to where we were standing, subtly attempting to encircle us while I was looking forward to them passing us, my friend ran off immediately, before I could realize they already formed a triangle grid around me each of them bearing long, sharp knives shouting “Hey! hey!! bring your pocket..!!”.
Being ganged up, held down and threatened to be stabbed if you don’t comply, It was indeed a vicious moment for me, and all I could think of was how I could get out of that situation unhurt. But despite the fear that engulfed me, I stood my ground holding my pocket firmly while they tried to forcefully penetrate in with their hands.
My friend was on the other side, almost at the middle of the express road shouting “Thieves..!” to at least call the attention of motorists but they all formed swirled track avoiding him, perhaps thinking it was a plot to get the robbed?
After several resistance from my end, I got stabbed on my thigh by one of the guys, I then had to let go as they emptied my pocket, carting away with my phone and wallet.
Attempting to run back into the bush, I immediately went after the one that got my phone, he kind of lost orientation and was almost headed towards the bridge while his other gang were heading to the bush. He immediately turned around swinging his long knife so I wouldn’t get close, he then threw the phone to his other gang in the bush and they all ran away.
These robbers were skinny, tall hausa boys all wearing face caps, I was so devastated that if I had a gun, I wouldn’t hesitate even in a split second to put three bullets in their heads. Why does bad thing always happen to good people? I’m not insinuating I’m a saint but I’ll never to this to a fellow. Why me?
Anyways, after the sad occurrence of losing everything I had and almost my life, it reasonable to go back home just as my friend suggested, but instead we still waited, get a cab and head to the church where we had the cross over night. I personally didn’t have any good experience despite dancing and joyous experience everyone had there.
I lost my Samsung A30, Gtb, Diamond and Payoneer debit cards and some cash in the wallet all to one night
Anyways, I’m looking for who can track my phone using maybe the IMEI number? the phone pack, receipt are still intact.
Lastly, kindly learn from my story and avoid that Wuye bridge at all cost.
Never fight or struggle with a robber. Thank your stars
Kelvin30286063: My check engine light has been on for weeks now. I know it's bad but I barely have time to visit a mechanic except for recently when I had a brain box issue.
The follow warnings are on my dashboard.
1. Check emisson system 2. Check Tire pressure sensor 3. Check ABS system 4. Check VSC system
That's all. I'm worried that this may not be the reasons why the check engine light is on.
I have ran a diagnostic scan and they pointed to the same things but this things are not easy fix cuz I drive an Acura and some of these things are not easy to comeby.
I know the emission system is a big issue cuz my car engine area is always very hot and I noticed some disconnection in some of those big pipes that channels air through the car but how do I best fix this! Help a brother.
Is it advisable to just wipe the warnings or I have to fix them cuz the guy that ran the diagnostic said he can just help me to wipe all the warnings and I won't have to worry anymore. Is that right sha!?
Stop taking your car to Kazeem!! Get a new mechanic.
mariahAngel: She should cut down on carb intake, especially simple carbohydrates. She should reduce her intake of processed foods to the barest minimum. Snacks included. She should cut down on her portions of food. She should avoid eating late (can never be overemphasized) She should eat more whole foods. Fruits and vegetables should be essential part of her diet. Water! Water! Water! Increasing her water intake decreases her cravings for food.
Jogunomi1: Before our first child, her belly was naturally not flat and she's not obese. After first child, her belly became bigger. I just want her belly to stop getting bigger.

Experiencenaija: Ever thought of Vietnam's Ha Long Bay in Nigeria? Crushed Rock, Mpape, Abuja is a newly discovered tourist destination in Nigeria. This is one of the quarries that supplied much of the stones used to transform Abuja from a small village in the 1980s into the country's capital city. This new tourist site contributes to the abundance of travel destinations in Nigeria. To know more about the site, watch this:
I will advise Laycon to behave like Miracle. He won, that's good. He should Invest the money into something, and stay away from social media. All these hullabaloo will soon end and his eyes will clear.
Oh! Nsukka...my lovely...Nsukka! What has befallen you?
Keke riders should have returned the stabbing back to the stabber before anything.
From Ogige Market to Barracks junction is a far distance for any keke rider. You pass Post Office roundabout and get to Odenigbo, from there you get to Ofulonu junction, and then to Ogurugu road, before Army barracks junction.
This present administration is the most use.less I have ever seen.
Meanwhile, Anything that doesn't involve enjoyment, please don't involve me. We have come this far in 2020 and need to use this remaining two months and "chop" life. It's been a year.

Avoid NIM by all means. That nonsense they will tell you in camp doesn't work at all.
