[quote author=Ikaeniyan0 post=137419375]Your state governor is getting more money under Tinubu administration. No state governor in Nigeria is struggling to pay civil servants again. There was a time a lot of states couldn't afford to pay civil servants

It is not enough to pitch citizens against state governors without creating strong institutions that will checkmate excesses. If not for political correctness why give fish to cat to safeguard when we know they are kloptos and there is absolutely nothing the masses can do.

Christianity EtcRe: Ever Had A Close Shave With Death? by MaKenz: 12:50pm On Oct 03, 2021
Close shave with death hmm! Many reasons to thank GOD for HIS mercies and protection. I'll try to express my experiences as brief as possible pardon all grammatical errors.

I can remember vividly in pry 4 while working home after sch. I was working on a major road and by a force I couldn't explain I found myself on the walk way by a force i can't explain till date and at that instance, a car zoomed off my side in a very close shave.

The other experience was similar to the op's experience. The cab driver was drivering one-way in a dualised road to beat traffic congestion, bad spots and traffic warden and as I focused on the direction of traffic taking my time lo and behold, the cab ran on my foot with the speed I didn't feel the impact only for the driver to wave at me apologically.

My other experience was with ritualists; after negotiating the tfare to my destination, I boarded the taxi to my destination. Along the way, his accomplice posing as a persenger joined us. While on the trip he requested for his money and I paid him in #20 notes denomination while being conscious cos I sensed danger the moment I entered the taxi. As I watched, he brought out a mutilated #20 note from the car sun visor complaining I paid him with fake #20 note that I shld replace it. I told him I'm not going touch the note; the other persenger in the front seat threaten to arrest me if I don't replace it and I dare him. To avoid story that touch, I handed him the last #20 note with me. He collected and still insist i take back the multilated note which I refused. Halfway the journey, he ask me to alight from the car that I'm a bad market.

Another near death experience was driving with my family. Before we embarked on the journey to VI, I had a tyre replaced funnily, the "vulganizer" did a bad job. While on 3rd mainland bridge I was doing 120km/h I heard a sound I can't fathomed but it didn't affect the performance of the car. I drove in and out of VI smoothly. On getting home, I stopped the car to open the main gate and park the car. Behold, the only nut supporting the tyre fell off as well as the tyre. 2 lessons learnt always fasten the tyre with my wheel spanner after a replacement by a "vulga" and avoid excessive speeding.

The final near death case was wen I went to a cyber cafe to print out some documents. Unfortunately, a gang of armed robbers tracked the owner of the cafe from the bank to her business center. I was siting closed to the entrance door wen they worked in with a cmd everybody lie down. In a state of confusion think they were police and the same time obeying the cmd the next thing that vibrated in my head was a gunshot at the left side of my limb at close range of 100cm. The pain was excruciating, my fone was taken as well as others in the cafe. The mission was to dispossessed the owner of #150k she collected from the banking hall we were addendum to the operation. But how the bullet crisscrossed from the point of entry through the the hollow of my pelvic bone with a little impact and exited close to my anus remains the 11th wonder the doctors in LUTH can't explained but owe it to miracle. I spent just a week in LUTH with no serious complication that may require surgery procedure just flesh cut with antibiotics and dressing, I'm standing well well.

Many reasons I believe and trust in GOD. I'll remain grateful to HIM for watching over me, my households and affair. GLORY TO JESUS!

NYSCRe: What's Your Take On 2-Year NYSC Service? by MaKenz: 7:22am On Jul 09, 2021
It's just an after thought, with the large band of unemployment in Naija you can't train a youth on how to use guns and after the program you don't empower him then he will empower himself with guns and turn into a menace in the society

This old man has lost every sense of reasoning. Job lost everywhere, herdsmen doing what they know how to do best, inflation hitting the rooftop and he is hear preaching gospel of his wicked achievement. Where is the agricultural produce wen families are dying of lack and hunger has become a new norm? One fresh Egg�now sells for #70 and he opens his gutter mouth to spill beans. He who wishes other evil, karma is at the door side waiting for u and ur families who fleece on this nation without conscience
PoliticsRe: Buhari Clears Way For Ranching And Revival Of Forest Reserves by MaKenz: 7:00pm On May 24, 2021
It beats my imagination how govt will use tax payers money to fix a private business esp those that are not captured in the tax-base system. This is frudulent and unbecoming of the govt of APC. Cattle rearing is a private business and the business owner shld find a way to conform with ways of doing business. Buy lands where u deem fit pasturing and manage it as a business.
FamilyRe: Should I Take Back An Adulterous Wife Because Of The Expensive Bride Price? by MaKenz: 2:46pm On Dec 12, 2020
Bros the decision is yours to make and live with. Expensive pride price or wedding ceremony should not be a motivation to bring her back. If you bring her back and she genuinely repent and move in, you must accept her with clear conscience and not haunt with the sin she committed which she is genuinely sorry about. So think thru and I'm also happy you are truthful about the situation and accepted your shortcomings it is a great step to reconciliation. Pride is our greatest weakness but once we defeat it, we are close to making heaven.

PoliticsRe: Arabic Script On Naira Notes: Culture Clash Over Nigeria's Rival Alphabets by MaKenz: 3:51pm On Nov 15, 2020
ThatFairGuy:
Sighting this 1000 note as an example, The Arabic inscription on it simply means NAIRA DUBU(Hausa language) in Transliteration which means #1000.

It's Hausa language but written in Arabic.

The Arabic word for a thousand naira is ألف not نير دوبو as it's on our thousand note.

I can also write egberun naira (Yoruba language) in Arabic as we have it in Hausa language (but written in Arabic) on our note. As well as in Igbo.

أيبر نير egberun naira (#1000).

IT'S JUST A LANGUAGE as explained in this write-up, nothing like ISLAMIZATION. We all need to look away on some certain things if we must live in peace, Which is ESSENTIAL.

I can sight some examples of what we're also using in Nigeria that are related to Christianity but no fuss from Muslim side.


WE NEED TO STOP ALL THESE UNNECESSARY FUSS
Good u understand and can translate the script and for those who can't they should live with it? Naija is a complex state and leaders shld be deplomatic in dealing with the affairs of the nation. We v all agree that the English language is our lingua franca then let's keep our mode of communication.im that medium. This govt should stop flying d kite if disunity, we have loads of problems bedevilling us and this is just too trivial to make up the list

It is really painful and annoying wen govt officials make such utterances. The same govt that will tell her citizens to embrace for tougher time will not sacrifice a pin for their selfish interest. Unfortunately, the citizens bear d brunt with all manners of taxes for them n families to live in opulence while the citizens suffer neglect n impoverishment.
