Something tells me you're well endowed.

Watch out, the company might be going through financial distress.

Personally I love freestyles but I can't deny the fact M.I is a very good writer and he knows his craft very well.

It's disease called Kleptomania. Only Jesus can save him but it advisable you see a certified counsellor for help.

lol bruv, go listen to elbow room. U will hear this wack line :you hold a lemon and a torchlight, am the lime light. Dude, wtf ? Why would i hold a lemon and torchlight in d first place.

I've listened to that track a billion times and didn't notice the wackness in that line.... can u please just shed more light on it Mr Lyricist?

At this point I can't just help but to give a big shoutout to the punchline boss Mode9 who hasn't failed me for once...

That door behind her reminds me of a brothel's door in Ajegunle...

Shoutout to my mummy. You're a typical Nigerian woman.

micronut:
No Abobaku in ILE-IFE! Do you have an "Abobaku" in your home-town? Ife is not so different from very many Yoruba town. I wish we would always ponder on some news feed before spreading them.

The damages we keep giving our culture is incomparable, we have suddenly forgotten that there is a great difference between "Culture and Tradition". We attack the latter most often, thinking we are appraising the Westernised and Behind-whites way of Life.. No such thing as Abobaku, i challenge you to make your findings..

It's becoming worrisome how we believe every thing we see on social media, this is the same way they told us "Salt water bath would guide against Ebola" and almost all the funny local scientist have seen are coming up with theories of how it may be true, until the conceiver of the costly joke came out to say it was a mere joke from two Jobless Undergraduates..

Information dissemination in the modern age, has indeed suffereda major setback in the hands of Rumour peddlers. Ife People are not custodian of a fetish Practice.

Thanks for the up-date Mr story teller...

What will now happen to the Abobaku who ran away from the palace?

Bleep it! Polite insult.

Add Sailors to your list. Sorry I can't do any write up on it because it's self explanatory.

Obviously Nedu is a nerd.

Don't give her the phone but bleep the shit out of her before discarding her off like a piece of shit.

I believe everything this man said because I once had same experience years back only that I was fortunate to escape death sentence by whiskers.. Anytime I reminisce on what I went through in the hands of the so called police men before I was fortunate to be sent to the prison yard, all I do is just to raise my hands to the sky and say thank you Lord for sparing my life.. It's no longer relevant because I made it out of prison alive and here I am living my dreams to the fullest.

DaPhilosopher:
When I called my mother from prison to tell her I’d been pardoned after 10 years in jail, she fainted.

I was told they had to pour water on her to revive her. Later, when she saw me for the first time after all those years in jail, she grabbed me and held me so tight. She wouldn’t let go for almost 15 minutes. The whole time she had tears of joy streaming from her eyes.

Football and juice: celebrating with my death row friends


I was also overwhelmed with joy when I found out about my pardon, at 4pm on 28 May. Initially I couldn’t even speak, I was so happy.

The day after hearing the news, I celebrated in prison by organising a football match between death row inmates and other prison inmates. I’d been the death row team football coach during my time in prison. We won the match 3-0! Everyone was so happy to play.

That Sunday I went to the prison church. I bought some biscuits and fruit juice to share with other inmates in church and an announcement was made that I was being released. Everyone was happy. I had friends in prison; I had been teaching English and Maths to fellow inmates and those students who were keen became my friends.

I was released a few days later. That first evening at home, my mother prepared a special dish – Okro soup with beef. The whole family ate together at the dining table. Afterwards, there was a party with family friends and we sang songs, played music and prayed.

We prayed for all the activists who campaigned for my release, those from Amnesty international and Justine Ijeomah [the Director of HURSDEF, Nigeria’s Human Rights Social Development and Environmental Foundation] and his wife, Goodness Justine. Drinks were shared around with everyone at the party.

The sleep of the free

The first night I slept in my new bed, I slept so well. What struck me most was that at 5am, I did not hear the prison wake-up bell. I waited for it, and then realised that it was not a dream, but in fact I really am free.

When I realised that, I felt freedom deep in my spirit. Things had changed for good. I went back to sleep and slept until 10am, fully enjoying my ‘freedom sleep’. My family came to wake me up but I told them to let me sleep longer. It was such a good sleep.

In those first days of freedom I bumped into an old school friend and he looked at me like he’d seen a ghost.

We have a local belief that if you pour sand on a spirit it will vanish, and he started to pick up sand from the ground and pour it on my body! I told him – ‘don’t pour sand on me, I’m alive, I’m not a ghost!’ At that, he touched me and hugged me: he thought I had been executed.

He told me he would never forget the last time he saw me before my arrest 10 years ago.

At home, everything felt strange to me, even though I’m so relieved to be free. Lots of things have changed in the 10 years since I was arrested: new bridges have been built and the use of laptop computers and phones is common now.

People keep asking me ‘What happened to your finger?

[After I was arrested] my fingernails and toenails were pulled out. The scars people see are the lasting marks that torture has left me with. When I wear sandals, seeing my toes reminds me of what I went through.

Torture affects people in so many ways. It’s inhuman: heating cutlasses on a fire and then flogging a person’s back is barbaric. It affects people mentally: it causes madness. They pass out because of the pain and admit to things they never did.

What I went through – the torture and being on death row – affected me in so many ways. It affected my plans for life and my ambitions at school. I spent ten years in jail. By now I could have finished school and have started working.

What struck me most is that you can live in a country where you can face so much tragedy for no reason, and yet still have to live there. I will always pray for change in Nigeria, but I advise others living here to be very careful, so that they will not fall victim to what I went through.

I’m joining the fight against torture

My plans now I’m free are to continue my education and get as far as I always dreamt – I want to be a doctor to fulfill my late father’s wishes.

But I’ll also be a human rights activist and help others who face the same challenges that I did. I have already filled out an application form and had a passport photo taken – the requirements for becoming a volunteer activist with HURSDEF.

The Director, Justine, welcomed me warmly as ‘Comrade Moses Akatugba’. I told him: Justine, I’m joining the fight against torture so that others will not go through the pain that I did.

If I have my way, and can stop torture, I will be the happiest man on earth. I don’t want any future generation to go through what I went through in that torture chamber.

Moses Akatugba was tortured to confess to a crime he says he never committed. His ‘confession’ was then used to sentence him to death.

On 28 May 2015, Moses was pardoned after nearly 10 years in jail. Over 800,000 of you around the world took action demanding justice

Only Denrele's sister can rock this.

It's a fucking waste of time, effort and money.

Caracta:
Ok child. It's no lullaby. We understand it's totally beyond you

haba see as you kuku finish hm nairaland career.

Mode9 does it for me anytime anyday. That nigga is drugs on the mic.

cigie:
I could use your advice…

I have recently finished medicals with Zenith bank and UBA, and I am pretty sure to land both jobs. Both are contract jobs; however Zenith is offering a two year contract while UBA is one year. The salary difference is not much, so that is not a deciding factor for me, at least not at this entry stage…but I would love to know the pay at confirmation. I’m more concerned about career advancement and job security now.

I would appreciate your inputs as to which offer is best. Kindly state the reason(s) behind your suggestions. I would really love to hear from bankers.

Thanks.

A friend of mine bagged a contract job with zenith early this year and I think the monthly pay ain't upto 60k on paper(58k) but when he resumed, he was fortunate to work in their trade services dept and that gave him an edge of 10k over his colleagues.

It's high time govt placed a ban on this trekkers. The whole thing is turning to insanity.

This man is truly a man of integrity. Would have loved to see the look on their face as they exit his crib.

Twaci:
Hmmmm
