| Car Talk › Re: I Was Involved In An Accident Along Suleja-minna road. Viewer discretion advised by Noneroone(m): 12:26am On Jan 11, 2014 |
joebeckz: I left abuja at about 2pm and entered a taxi to minna at madalla. I was almost about to use my car but advised myself and settled for the commercials as it was cheaper and I was not gonna stay long in minna. D driver was good at wat he was doing and I felt comfortable but never closed my eyes to sleep like every oda passenger did. I was in d front passenger seat with d driver and just as we passed lambata n headed for gurara,d driver made a decision to switch to a newly constructed lane cos the normal one we use had pot/drum holes. All of a sudden like a ghost a bike (okada) with a male aged passenger appeared in front of us from no where cos as alert as I was just like d driver,I cud not xplain from where d biker came from. All effort by d driver to halt d car failed n we hit d biker n passenger. Like a grasshopper I saw d biker in d air n he crashed on d tar and d head opened up. Instantly he died. We weren't in d best position to xplain how he landed cos we were havin a rough ride down d valley as we lost control n we were goin down d hole by d side of d road. A tree n thick grass stopped d car after about 5mins of goin down. I heard difrent languages as we rolled down,I bliv de were all callin on God in der difrent languages. I just prayed silently in my heart and held d steerin cos d driver leaned back n left d steering. I hit d door wit ma leg n helped odas out. We all climbed up to d road and saw the lifeless body of the biker. When d police came around n asked after d driver, we were all suprised dat d guy was not found again n we headed to d car n found no plate number. He tot dat was smart but anyway dats all I witnessed as I boarded anoda vehicle n came to minna safely. Help me thank God.Which state are you from sire? |

6. Lord Lugard’s Ruthless Government in Nigeria Fredrick Lugard was an ex-British soldier who was given the responsibility of running Nigeria in 1912. When Lord Lugard was in charge of the country, he spent half of his time running Nigeria from England. Lugard didn’t like the Nigerians. During his reign he permitted slavery in some parts of the colony and used the military to keep control. He is remembered as one of the worst colonial rulers in Nigerian history and this motivated some Nigerian people to begin the process of having their freedom from the British Empire. 7. Nigeria’s Decolonization and Independence Shortly after World War II was over, many nations within Africa began to want their independence from European powers that colonized most of the continent. The British Empire was the primary colonizer of Africa and nationalism began to grow all throughout the continent. Many Nigerians were fed up with the British and had been indirectly seeking to be free from them for years. Eventually, Nigerian nationals were able have their independence in 1960 aided by the fact that Britain was a beaten and devastated nation that could no longer hold onto their overseas territories. 8. Nigeria’s First Republic In the year 1963 all of the British power had pulled out of the country and the nation was finally free to govern its own affairs. Even though the British no longer remained in power they still had considerable influence on the society and culture of Nigeria. English still remains a part of this country and many British people still conduct business and live in the nation. 9. The First National Elections Shortly after Nigeria gained its independence, the country held its first national elections which was done to establish the country’s first independent government. The elections took place in the month of December, 1964. 10. Transition of power The year 2007 was a notable one in Nigerian history as the year marks the first time that ruling government parties had a peaceful transition of power since Nigeria became a peaceful state. Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua took control of the government from Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who ruled the nation for 8 years. |

3. The Establishment of Hausa Kingdom The Islamic Hausa Empire was established from a group of old city states that lied between the Niger River and Lake Chad. The Hausa people were influenced by the Islamic religion and it was also a powerful center for trade and commerce. The Hausa had considerable influence over many people within the central Nigerian area. They even posed an economic and cultural challenge to other major empires of that time such as Mali. This empire fell apart in 1808 and when the British arrived in 1880 they helped the Hausa to reclaim the influence and position they lost in the past. 4. British Began to Conquer Nigeria One of the most notable events in the Nigerian history occurred in 1901 when the British formally made Nigeria a protectorate. The British had first entered into the area during the 1880s in order to trade with Nigerians. Once the British took over Nigeria they began to dictate the affairs of the territory and enslaved parts of the population. They enforced colonial rule and ran the country for almost 50 years. The British modernized the country at this point and introduced its society to western influence. 5. Christian Missionaries began Activity in Southern Nigeria Christian missionaries closely followed the British as they were coming to Nigeria to start off their missionary work. It made the most influence on the religions lives of Nigerians especially those in the southern parts of the nation making this moment a remarkable one in the Nigerian history. At this time, many Nigerians were introduced to the Christian religion which has continued to wax stronger since that time. Religious beliefs among Nigerians have sometimes gone to a matter of life and death resulting in conflicts especially between the Muslims in the North and the Christians in the South. |

Here are the 10 most amazing moments in the history of Nigeria. 10 Most Amazing Moments in History of Nigeria 1. The Yoruba and the Kingdom of Nri Even though the Yoruba was the first major tribal group in the nation, the Kingdom of Nri was the first established monarchy in the history of Nigeria. Nri was the originator of the Igbo culture which was a major influential group in the region after its establishment in 948 AD. At this time, the Kingdom of Nri was unique because the rulers governed the people through the use of political, economic and religious authority and didn’t need to use force to control their subjects. The Nri was also a safe haven for people who had been ostracized from their communities and for people escaping from slavery. 2. Benin Empire The Benin Empire began in the 15th century when it was founded by the Edo people who resided in western Africa. Benin was an important empire within the history of Nigeria because it rose to international fame for its artworks which was exported to different parts of Europe and the rest of the world. The Empire of Benin was a trading one that was highly organized and efficient. Benin was the first Nigerian territory that rivalled any contemporary European power in terms of governance and function. This empire was intact when the British arrived in Benin during the 19th century. |

Chaleeee: If I hear say Igbo man return the money!!!Na lie. Igbos pay higher pride prize 'cos their girls are more expensive, neat,decent,beatiful,intelligent,and above all they respect the family institution while Yorubas dont collect (in the guise of not selling their daughters) because most of their girls are ugly, shapeless, dont know how to cook and dirty. Infact when they become wives they are promiscouos. Thats why many yorubas struggle over Igbo girls despite higher bride prize. Thats the RAW truth. Oya firing squad...!!! |

@op where did you pick this shit? |
!!! Yorubas do not sell their children unlike the igbos. From Yoruba weddings I have witnessed, the average bride price is around N10,000 coupled with yam, fruits and other little things. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 (of 88 pages)
