I bought some items at Lagos Island and the store owner assured me that the Alabaeru girl standing near his store was a regular helper and I that could trust her with my goods. So I gave her the items to carry to my driver at the park. She called others to help since I bought a lot of things. To my surprise, when I got to my car, there was nothing. I immediately went back to the shop and informed the owner who introduced me to this alabaeru. He denied knowing them and said I gave them the goods at my own risk.
I search the whole market but did not find them. Fast forward to 2 months later, I went to mile2 owode mechanic village to fix my car and saw the alabaeru girl there. I held her and called police.
She was arrested and she confessed of diverting the goods. She later took us to the shops in Oshodi and Mushin where she had sold the items.
I recovered everything.

This is my first reasonable post on nairaland �... I don't really know what the comments would be like but man gotta do what he gotta do �

So here's the story, I'm a single guy and I've been putting an eye out there looking for someone to love and call my own, so i met this really beautiful nice young lady a month ago and its was more like love at first sight kinda of thing...but i just had to maintain so i don't appear being desperate and all... But truth is am madly in love with this girl, we've been talking ever since then and so far we are becoming more closer as each day passes.

I still haven't asked her out to be my girlfriend but I'm really hopeful that she will say yes to me considering how close we have become lately, we talk about everything and anything.

So to the main gist, currently her smartphone is bad so we can't do things like chatting, whatsapp calls, video calls and the likes... And i feel like getting her a smartphone would greatly be helpful to her as well as get us to communicate more often, so I'm thinking....Is it wise to get her a phone at such an early stage into our relationship (friendship) considering the fact that i haven't asked her and she hasn't said yes to me....

I just feel like she really needs a smartphone and I'm thinking if i should get her one... I've not really made up my mind yet, might sound crazy but I'll really like to get opinions on this..

My most annoying market outing is when I go to the market with my mom. I don't understand how u price the samething from like four different shops and u may end up not buying from any of them. Women can use like six hour in the market and that is a waste of time to me

Well this is africa, stuffs like this happen they say even in movies we see. my dad told me of one that happen to him, his close friend who died sometime ago. After months of his death, a mutual friend went to cotonu to buy furnitures, on getting there he saw the same dead guy, in a workshop working alongside some other people, he was the boss of the place same as when he was a alive.. The man came back home, called my dad, and they both went to cotonou, when he saw it with his own eyes, from distance studying, and was convinced he was the one, he came back to nigeria, and ask the wife and the son to follow him, and they all went to the place, on getting there, and the dead man seeing all of them, smile at them, and welcome them into the workshop, and he entered with them and he just called his son, and he parted the son on his head, and said' you have grown' all of them couldn't talk, he said his mouth was heavy , legs stiff, and the man stood up went outside the door, and was never seen again since then. After 3min my dad said he stood up and went outside and made enquiry and they said he said he wanted to buy something, and that was the end of it all never seen again. So I think it might actually be true, that's if the old man, didn't cook It up for me, because I asked him the same question when the story popped up. Also in our estate a man that carries touch at night anytime his walkn at night, slumped and died, my dad was sitting in the sitting room, and he was like he saw a shadow of sum1 lookn like the man with touch, and he called out to draw his attention, he said he stood up and went after the man, by d time he got there, nothing, the next morning, he heard the man has dead. So .... The mith may be true. And even in the bible if am right when jesus was dead he appeared to some people, am not a bible scholar so don't blame me if am wrong

Ade is of two types. (surnames and other names)

Ade - crown - royalties use it most (as surnames)

Ade - We've arrived, we've come, we're here (anyone can bear it) (as other names)

If you see anyone having "ade" as surname, be 99% sure that he's a royalty, the other 1% is if he changed his surname to "ade"

But, if you see anyone bearing Ade as middle name, other names, 100% sure that he's either a royalty or not.

That's the logic.
E.g you have two Friends A & B
A bears --- Adetunji Josephine Shola
B bears --- Odediran Adebola Michael

It means A is 99% royalty
B is 90% not royalty.

But there are some royals that doesn't use Ade as surnames.

That's the logic

Sammy07:
Hmmm, not like a taboo.
But in Yoruba land, you'll have your family house, family name etc.

For example, you can't just change your surname to ogunshola, first thing they'll ask you is -- are you a descendant of Ogun worshipper?

So it's common for royals to use Ade.
I mean, very common.

"Ade" is widely use among the royal family, but it can also be used as a verb A- de( arrival).

@dolliepie, even way back in Naija, my aunt used to tell us that some residents of MD died of heat strokes. Could not believe it, neither did I know much about the ailment until I moved out here and found out that some residents, particularly the elderly are most vulnerable to heat strokes in the East Coast and the Chicago area. Baltimore is a nice city, but I understand, it is a crime infested city. Visited Columbia, a wealthy enclave of MD. I was in Silver Spring during my mini vacation, and I tell you, Nigerians, plenty for that area. Not too long ago, I read an article about the number of Nigerians living in MD. The population alone for Silver Spring was about 15,000 (hope my memory serves me well).

But what is the main attraction that lures Nigerians to Maryland? The place just did not really entice me, apart from my family members. Crime is too much, and real estate, though not as ridiculous as California, still is expensive.
