What you are about to read happened to me last week, I just had to bring it here, because the more I try to wrap my head around it, the more questions comes to mind.

About a month ago I moved to another city, but considering its a totally different culture, I have just been gradually trying to settle in. So, on Tuesday Last week, I noticed a plumbing issue in my room, for which I went to seek the caretaker who lives within the compound. I later found him in one of the rooms trying to fix some things for another new tenant who I will refer to as Sandra henceforth. I laid my complaints to the man and briefly spoke with Sandra who told me aje was an undergraduate.

About an hour later, the caretaker came to my room to checkout the problem I was having, Sandra came with him, and as we were making small talks, she walked into my kitchen and pointed out that my pots and other cooking utensils were still new and unused, then i told her I haven't started cooking because I don't know my way around yet, so I haven't been to the market. She then offered to go to the market with me whenever I was ready.

The next day being Wednesday I made a list of things to buy, among which were some packaged and canned foods, for this we went to a mall. After picking the items, we had to join the queue at the payment point, while there, I remembered some things which I needed but haven't included in my list, so I handed over my ATM card to Sandra and gave her the PIN considering it was almost our turn in the queue, then went to pick those things. Now, I did this because, I didn't want a situation where after paying for the original items, I will have to join a fresh queue with the new items. Although I came back just as she was about to pay, so I was able to include the new items, we laid and left. Suffice to say that I had her pick one or two things for herself.

On getting home, I immediately went to an ATM and changed my PIN, just to be safe.

Two days later, Sandra came to my room sound 7:15pm telling me she wanted to go buy relaxer and shampoo but as its getting dark that she can't go alone, and she asked that I come with her, I obliged, as you would expect.

After buying the shampoo, we started heading home. Now, there are two possible routes home, the sandy road which was nearer and the tarred road which was farther, Sandra then insisted we take the tarred road saying she didn't want sand on her feet, but that was the route we took while going.

Just as we approached my compound, 3 guys rounded us up and told us to handover everything we had on us. I have to point out that after this whole incident, I could recall that while we were walking home, Sandra was texting on her phone and kept looking back. When one of the guys made the request, Sandra now asked them 'for what' immediately one of the guys landed her a slap and pushed her down. Then he turned to me and gave me a blow to the mouth saying I was wasting his time, then he reached for my back pocket and retrieved my wallet, then he asked me the PIN, I gave him a wrong PIN the first time and this was met with a hot slap to my face, then he asked again and i gave him the same PIN again, then he gave me a kick to the hip, I was almost paralyzed, he now grabbed my throat, I had no choice than to give him the real PIN, then he left me and they ran off. Interestingly, the PIN I gave to him was the old PIN which I changed few days ago, but my intention was not to lie, in fact I meant to tell the truth, but then that PIN had stuck to my memeory as I have been using it for the past 3 years.

Immediately they left, I made a dash for my room, with Sandra in hot pursuit, but I didn't let her come to my room with me, I called the bank Customer Service and told them to block my card, although the thieves had the wrong PIN, I felt they could still compromise the card.

The next day, Sandra was in my room and she kept trying to get me to talk about the incident of the last day, but I wasnt interested, she kept asking me, if the PIN I gave them was the right one, I mean it should be, after all that was the right PIN as far as she knew, she asked if I could recognize the guys, I said no, she asked if its possible for the card to be hacked without the PIN, I was just acting ignorant, but I've already started having my reservations about her.

Later, I decided out of curiosity to check Sandra out on Facebook, while checking the photos on her profile, I saw pictures she took and uploaded with the same guy that slapped and pushed her down while we were been robbed, I was dumbfounded to say the least.

Then it became clear to me, she set me up to be robbed. Now my questions are,
Why did she insist we take the tarred road, considering we took the sandy road while going to the Shop
How come the thieves reached straight into the pocket with my wallet?
How come they never asked for our mobile phones, naturally, that should be their first question
How come immediately I gave the guy the 'right' PIN he acceded?
Who was Sandra texting while we walked home
And, the FB picture shows she knows the guy after all.

My problem now is, should I confront Sandra d tell her I know what happened or should I just let it slide? Since that day she's been trying to cozy up to me, but the more she tries the more I become worried and wary.

Too bad. She was a strong woman that raised kanu and his siblings. Remember ur days in akwakuma as a devoted Presbyterian and how u led the Inyom Aro as a diligent president. You sold akara and made many homes happy with ur customer relationship .. despite all ur husband did you still stood strong. Even with ur stroke and bedridden condition you could remember every face you know.
laa nke oma ada mazi....God bless your kind soul
Amen

Too bad nzuko Aro abandoned you.. too bad you suffered so much pain before your death ..but in all things we thank God that you found peace and joy in Him.

Please what is the source of this woman's wealth? Because she had claimed in an interview I read in a magazine in 2007 that she made her money from web designing and hosting

at a time when Nigeria did not even have internet connectivity (you had to use NITEL's dial-up at the time which was very slow and noisy).

It is just that the area she comes from is kind of backward and she is celebrated. Otherwise in saner climes, a lot of digging would have been done into her past to know how she came about the money she used in building that massive hotel of hers and other property in her 20s.

What is scam? When you want what you do not deserve at the moment.
Causes? Greediness

I have never been scammed but i hear super story

Can u imagine a friend that was offered to but a bag of cement for 1k when the market price is 1.5k, and the condition or the clause is - he buys minimum of 100bag thou they agreed payment on delivery but with time conditions change and all his 4m investment gone.

I have this issue that i have been pondering on for sometime now, and the more i think about it, the more i get confused.

Its about this man my fiancee always call's her uncle, she said that this man is a relation to her grandma and honestly, this particular man is the one sponsoring her education since both parents are divorced.

My problem is this, everytime this man is in town, she goes over to his house to clean up, and will spend the night over there as well, and this man has never for once visited with his wife. Secondly whenever this man calls her on phone, and she happens to be anywhere expect her house or in school, he will start accusing her of sleeping around, something i am suspecting might be a 'lover's jelousy' than a mere concern for her well being. I might be wrong in my suspecions but i cant just bring my mind to rest when he stoped paying her school fees for a while when it was reported to him that she was caught coming from a guys house by a friend. I knew that day in particular , cause i was escorting her when she bumped into someone she remarked as her uncle's bossom friend, it took the intervention of her mother and sister to placate him.
I was shoked one day when she remarked that if you dont know well, you might think that they where dating, and futher said that his wife might be suspecting them atimes. I was thinking, what must be running through her mind for saying all these? I have seen her selfies in this uncles apartment and most of the pictures are not so "funny" as what she wears around the house.

Now today, the man is around and as usual she will be up there cleaning and stuff, but what is worrying me this night is the " swtheart,my husband good nite" sms i got from her after all the missed call i gave her earlier tonight. Its unlike her, cause we never fail to call each other and say our goodnights every night.
I replied her asking if shes spending the night in her uncle's house which she did not reply.
I dont know how to confront her on this, about my fears and suspicions.
Your advice is kindly needed, as the imaginations alone is giving me sleeples night.

Sanchez01:
The same passages you gave as references to tithe is the same someone gave me just almost two weeks ago. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Was Christ teaching about tithe? No, He was highlighting the hypocritical nature of the Pharisees and Scribes who carry out the Mosaic Law thinking they are better than others when in reality they are not. Please re-read the passage to understand what Christ meant.

MadCow1:
Smart Chick..


I would be very impressed if Governor Obiano actually thought that far..

The one problem of Nigeria is not lack of good initiatives, but rather poor implementation.





See as you have already found a loop hole that Oga governor did not bother to explain.

What exactly is your point? Umuahia - Bende - Aro and Umuahia - Uzuakoli - Ohafia roads had always been smooth at least in the past more than 6 years. The stretch that has always been an issue is Ohafia - Arochukwu. There are several federal roads that have been fixed by state governments and refunds made from the federal purse. It has happened severally here in Lagos State. Check the stretch on Benin-Ore road, who fixed that? Federal government?

I am not into politics partisan or otherwise, I am neither registered nor do i even have a voters card. I have no party affiliations. i am only seeking to say that whomsoever you people vote in should fix the road so traveling from owerri to my village should no longer be a nightmare.

I have been informed about the work in progress on Abam - Amuvi road, if this comes through, that will be very fine.

I work with fine details, always and I am from Amannagwu, I visit villa at least 4 times a year (xmas,easter, ikeji and at least not less than one burial) so i know my facts.

When they thought we are musurbating over supreme court victory,we are busy carrying out project. Today,Governor Okezie Ikpeazu Ph.D flagged off the construction of Etitiama Nkporo road in Abiriba Ohafia LGA. see pictures here

hardbody:
All these na wash. He will never attempt to fix Arochukwu - Ohafia Road because Otti is from there and I am from there too. Not to worry, we have been flying home with copters and we will continue till a Governor that will fix that part of the state comes through. For now, you guys should enjoy the dividends of a stolen office
