Travel / Re: Safety Of Travel By Bus To Abuja by mbembe: 11:22am On Aug 10, 2023
Absolutely nothing to fear. Join GIG or Delta line. Try and avoid not too popular transport companies. You will be just fine. stop worrying as anxiety only help to exacerbate your health challenges. Remember to pray and also don't do night trips. Good luck.
Travel / Re: Traveling From Ghana by mbembe: 7:53am On Jul 23, 2023
You can! No issues. Just ensure that you have all the necessary stamps enroute Ghana. That is, if you travel to Ghana by road, make sure you have stamps of Benin, Togo and Ghana (Aflao). If you are flying in, make sure you are stamped in on arrival at Kotoka International Airport. Then you will be fine. Anything less,it will not be funny.

It is really very disheartening seeing all these attachment to Toyota. Even God in His own wisdom favoured variety during creation. I repeat you cannot derive any real driving experience in a Toyota perhaps and may be LX 570 which is a luxury flagship. Bros, go look for a 2007 - 2008 Hyundai Azera (Limited edition). With a grade A confirmed Toks , in the next 3 years let me borrow Pastor Chris line- you will dwell in an atmosphere of bliss, plus some change in your pocket. Toyota people, Nawa o.

Romance / Re: She Is Pregnant With Twins But I Honestly Don't Want To Marry Her. by mbembe: 9:19am On Jul 07, 2019
I will be very honest with you. First you went below your own expectation in your choice of a girlfriend (possible wife) may be out of sheer adventure or proximity. Some guys here have asked why you decided to use your teeth to share a meat you are not likely to eat, instead of addressing that squarely you are working very hard to sound politically correct. Things don't work that way bro.
In all honesty, you had ample time to settle all the issues that are troubling your peace now yet you dilly dallied, and the consequences you must face.
Don't marry that girl just because of what had happened or what people may say. Bros you are not in a popularity contest cause if you do not still see her as a wife material both of you may end up enduring a frustrating relationship that will likely not end well. The situation is still redeemable. Going by your present circumstances overseas you cannot be fighting battles on all fronts. You need all the energy and resources to realise your dreams that took you out of our shores in the first place.
Demand to know what is expected traditionally so that your claim to the kids remain guaranteed.
After successfull delivery continue to care for this girl and the kids to the best of your abilities. Do not neglect them.
Assist her subsequently in whatever she choose to do either learning a skill or acquiring education letting her know that there are no conditions attached. In all of these never allow yourself to be emotionally blackmailed and maintain an open mind.
Time does wonders in the affairs of men and women. There will be healing, reconsideration, realignments and other changes you may not have considered at moment.
That girl somewhere along the line will come full circle either for you or someone else. No bi fight o.
Also be working on yourself cause the picture of a perfect gentleman you are trying so hard to paint is neither here nor there. In all l wish you success and Gods wisdom. It's not as bad as you think!! Cheers.

Travel / Re: My Work Is Relocating Me To Aba by mbembe: 5:30pm On Jan 14, 2017
Aba has its own positives and negatives, like any typical Nigerian city. Aba residents are hospitable folks, the younger ones very respectful. If you are a hygiene conscious individual, pity to say, you will be a little bit disappointed. My advice is, if you can afford it, seek for accommodation around GRA, Margret Avenue or Abayi (Aba-Owerri Road) axis. Please ask questions if the preferred area and property suffer side or direct effect of flooding during rainy season. Power supply is on the average in most areas, but Port Harcourt Road enjoys better power supply (personal view). There are few taxis, but Sister me, most are old Peugeot 504, no Uber spec so be prepared. Keke dey plenty, so fear not. Did you just mention market. Well, the entire Aba is one open market. Ngwa Road alone, play host to markets of 'International' repute ( abi you no dey Nija?). Aba residents are jolly good fellows, cost of living superb. You can also start side business if you are so inclined. They work hard, they ball hard. Areas to chill full. In case, by chance you are not satisfied with whats on ground. Owerri is just 45 minutes drive away (for there, you go fear fear). Just be yourself, Aba people detest fake fellows, shine your eyes, and you will be fine. Umu Aba make una come help out o. Cheers.

Car Talk / Re: Deplorable State Of The Aba-ikot Ekpene Highway by mbembe: 1:15pm On Jun 15, 2016
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]Last time I plied this road was in 2001, the road wasnt this bad, I think the people of IK did not vote for akpabio, so he abandoned them .

its sad Ik used to be a popular spot for those going to Lagos, pH from Calabar and Uyo.

That was before the construction of the Uyo Ogoni Rd. Its a shorter route, if repaired



Akpabio is from IKot Ekpene and he fixed the roads in that axis. The issue has to do with the lack of foresight exhibited by Ukwa/Ngwa political leaders, including the guy currently in the helm of affairs in the state..

Religion / Re: Anita Oyakhilome Gets Divorce Certificate by mbembe: 5:42pm On Feb 25, 2016
People like you are worse than 'armed robbers' because those ones at least come out to declare that they want to rob you..... but Satanist like you hide behind the computer to spread falsehood.

I am no fan of Chris Oyahkilome, infact, l dislike that "jerry-curled", funky-looking, unserious persona of his, since l was young. I think "spiritual leaders" like him should "lead by example.... good example" .....and he is a bad example of "moderation". (my opinion though).

Let us ASSUME that what you posit above is TRUE. Let us assume that it was Chris who left/abandoned his family on London!
Let me also ASSUME that you have been to London, at least ONCE!

Now, tell us, does London looks like a place where a "man" can impose his wish on his wife, against her will?
can you tell your wife to "sit down there".... (when she does not want to)..... and she will obey you?
As a mater of fact, when it comes to the whole of Europe and America, it is thee woman that tells the man to "sit down there"... and he does! grin grin
If he doesn't, he gets thrown out of his own house, that same night, with not more than his knickers, loses his kids and becomes an instant ATM (wife and child support) to the estranged wife.

Again, based on your words, which we decided to "assume for truth", let us ask this Kwesion: Did Chris also tie his wife down in London, that she could not buy a ticket and say "Today, l will live with my husband in Nigeria"... and fly to Lagos? ..... or does she have her reason for "staying put" in London and refusing to come live with her husband?

So, the argument that Chris dumped his family in London, does not wash at all.

Fact is; Anita was the one that abandoned her husband in Nigeria because she has her own "reasons and designs" for refusing to come home.

Jist: (meaning you can ignore it)
1.) She prefers living in London than Nigeria because over there, she gets to be the 'husband'.... while Chris will be the wife

2.) she was getting "power drunk" and wanted to be lording it over other Church Ministers who by "church hierachy", are senior to her since she is just the "Pastor's wife"... and not 2nd in-command. Infact, she was challenging Chris authority, within the church.
That sort of behaviour can only go unchallenged in London, hence her staying put over there! undecided undecided

3.) Since the church has a "very lucrative" branch in London, Anita figured out she better hold onto that one....and she eventually converted it to her own "personal church" (Go and read the court papers as regards the wahala that happened in that branch of the church, when she hijacked ownership of it! Imagine a British court "dividing ownership of church" between husband and wife, like it is some "carnal/material" property, eehn?)

Issokay!

So, for Anita, its all about the Love of MONEY and POWER....... the marriage can go to blazes!
I just hope she wont be pretending to be seeing visions of exhibiting anything resembling "spiritual", afterwards! undecided shocked shocked grin grin grin

Now that they are free of each other's burden, l hope we get to have some fresh air

- Sound analysis. You made lotta sense

Car Talk / Re: Choice To Make Between Buying An LR3 And An Ml350 Benz 4matic by mbembe: 12:32pm On Nov 19, 2015
Let him go for the LR3. It is a very solid work horse. Make sure the balloons are intact and working fine. Service as recommended. Hope the dashboard hasn't cracked yet. Watch out for that. But this can be rescued also.
The ML is a good machine but the transmission wahala is more worrisome than the ongoing fuel scarcity in my area. I have used both, so my assessment is borne out of practical experience.

More grease to your shiny elbows. Wait o, Oga Spyder, did you say 8.8m for a 5 BDR Detached duplex in PH, from foundation to roofing.Lets get serious here Prof. There is simply no way that is going to happen even if you resort to using the most basic/cheapest materials to do the job. Remember, you have served as an inspiration to some of us, thus, I will be happy for you to always present the total picture as it is and should be. This will afford your client(s) the opportunity to plan effectively and also adjust their budgets accordingly. Changing the goal post at the middle of the match, smacks of dishonesty. The unplanned adjustments also most often throws the client off balance. Just curious, hope U aint using corrugated roofing sheets (zinc) for this project. Just an advice, prepare for them "Ikwerre bush entry boys o". Those ones, that manifests in different groups/gangs, aint smiling- I,ve had a personal experience. Goodluck Oga Spyder, May your dreams come true. We are waiting and watching. Peace.

Properties / Re: Parapet Roofing Support Building In Ebonyi State by mbembe: 10:09am On Jun 18, 2013
As expected, a good response from a pro, but there are issues here. All the three major types of roofing sheets currently in use in the country have their respective merits. The metal sheet, known as the zinc, is the most common sheet and the oldest still in the market. Apart from its comparable low cost, it is strong and has the ability to withstand heat and weight. Like zinc, asbestos is relatively cheap. But what has endeared it to many home owners is its ability to absorb heat and resist corrosion. However, environmentalists insist it is not environmental friendly. Aluminium roofing sheet comes in two categories. There is the long span corrugated aluminium roofing sheet and the step tile aluminium roofing sheet. The unique features of the roofing sheet are its diverse colours, textures and thickness. The common colours are red, blue, yellow, green, chocolate and brown.
There is also the polycarbonate (stone coated) roofing sheet, which experts explain has the ability to withstand any change in environment and temperature.
Oga Spyder, the only thing permanent in life is Change. Therefore to infer that those using the Stone Coated roofing sheets are merely displaying the " I pass my neighbour mentality" is not only misleading but very immoral. Are U saying that all of us must use zinc to roof our houses so as not to be accused of being "rich". Even when your dad used same in 1986, remember that there were of different qualities then. "5 fingers" brand was seen as the most durable and reserved for those with extra cash to spare. There is nothing wrong in aspiring to be better in life, after all, that is the prayer of all good parents. The Gerard brand you mentioned has a guarantee of 50 years, did you confirm otherwise before reaching your conclusions which to me is very simplistic and demeaning. Well, I hold you in high esteem, I assume others do same, pls always assess your comments before going public. Congrats, at least you used aluminium step tiles for your own house, that means, we are all moving forward with the latest fad. Peace.
