My parents are from the East, I was born in the North, had my primary and secondary education in the West I must confess that Nigeria as a whole boasts of interesting places for anyone to live in irrespective of culture, religion or tribe. For instance I love the North for its once simplicity no much hustling and bustling, I also love the West for its diversity, you get to learn many things from the different ethnics that resides in the region and then the East will spur the entrepreneur in you as you see young men building up businesses from the scratch...there is beauty in diversity, every part is cool if not for violence perpetuated by very few but if I must pick a particular place I would love to live in Enugu State, such a beautiful and less stressful place to be!!

VERY FUNNY!

I remember with nostalgia my day at COKER PRIMARY SCHOOL II, we were trail blazers when it comes to sporting activities, I can go for a whole month without washing my brown khaki shorts cos u wont even, my favorite food in school then was Asaro (yam porridge). I missed our Baba Elegba, he was a no nonsense man, once the clock hits 7.45 he block the gate and God help you when he sights you from afar and you are not running, we dread him even when we see him walking on the streets after school hours...School was fun back then!!

I hate it when people come to Nairaland to talk trash,My dear Muslim brothers the point is that both the western and Islamic killings are politically motivated but the difference here is that Islam thrive more in terror because that is the foundation of their religion, Usman DanFodio captured most of north Africa through terror attacks in the earlier centuries. About Kano state being populated by southerners, lets be truthful to ourselves we all know that the Igbos are of the highest population and Christians irrespective of states are also the highest in population, I grew up in the streets of Kano,I lived in Brigade but my family had to relocate to Sabon Gari after the Evangelist Reinhard Bonkee riots and Christian massacre in the 90's,I schooled at Suka primary School along airport road therefore I witnessed first hand the discrimination against non northers especially those of Igbo extracts, I also witnessed the way they make plans to eliminate (ARNES OR INFIDELS)non believers, they actually hatch such plans inside their mosques especially during Friday special prayers. Its not also true that all norther Muslims share the same view about terror, I still have them as friend in fact it was a Muslim that saved our family during one of the killings before we relocated to largos, MY POINT HERE IS THAT MOST OF GLOBAL TERRORISM ARE PERPETUATED IN THE NAME OF ISLAM, THOUGH POLITICAL AND UNTIL THERE IS A GLOBAL CONSENSUS ON THIS FACT WE ARE FAR FROM SOLUTION RATHER WE ARE SITTING ON A KEG OF GUN POWDER SOON TO EXPLODE!!![b][/b]

Hello great minds of NairaLand I intend to tap into the opportunity available in the emerging opportunity available in Security Technology such as CCTV and other surveillance equipment. Can anyone here please give me information where i can acquire such skill in Lagos, I will ever be grateful thanks.

To Ademola Ibirogba, 32, life is full of mystery. The story of his life started when he had to drop out of school because there was no financial support from his family side.

That was in 1993. In 1995, he became an apprentice to learn battery charging. In 2001, he became a boss and set up his own battery charging business.

Although the business was little, he was contended with it. And everything was going on well because the business paved way for him to be able to take care of his parents and siblings. He was enjoying his business and hoping that one day, he would become a dealer in battery manufacturing.

And as God will have it, he got married to his lovely wife and the marriage produced two lovely children, a boy and a girl.

Then, he became a personal driver. Then, the ugly side of life visited his household and since then, life has been unfair to him and his family. In 2009, Ademola was involved in a fire accident while saving the life of his boss’s child, he was consumed with fire.

He visited several hospitals having sustained severe injury. And when he was finally admitted in Lagos State Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, he spent eight months without being attended to.

But fortune smiled on him when the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola visited LASUTH, and gave the direction that he should be attended to without paying any money. Unfortunately, the instruction only lasted for a while. The authority of the hospital couldn’t continue to obey orders without Ademola paying his bills. So, the treatment stopped halfway and since then, his life has moved from bad to worse.

And just last month, he was at the verge of taking his own life when sympathisers rescued him from his suicide mission.

In this encounter, Ademola told Saturday Vanguard about his suicide mission and how people came to his rescue.

“So, I was discharged without proper medical attention. Since then, I have been living with pain and anguish. “I sought for medical attention elsewhere just to be on my feet again but all efforts proved abortive. There was no money to pay for my medical bills and so, I was thrown out again.

“Even though, I was supposed to undergo surgery, there was no money to carry out the operation. At that juncture, I consoled myself, even though, I was going through severe pains, I didn’t allow that to pull me down. I decided to pick up the pieces of my life. I started my business back and after a while, it grew. And just at a time to start enjoying the fruits of my labour, another ugly scenario set in. It was on a Wednesday morning, I was in my shop when robbers stormed on me and made away with all the goods I had. The sad story was that I just stocked my shop with new goods. A good Samaritan who believed I was going through a hard times, decided to be giving the goods to me on credit and that after I’d made sales, I could make some returns. He gave me the goods on Tuesday and the following day, robbers attacked me and took away all the goods. When I couldn’t continue with the trauma that I’ve suffered from the attack, I felt it was better to die.

“Then, on Thursday, I called my wife, although she wasn’t at home. But I made some calls through to her and pleaded with her to take care of my children.“I thought there was no hope for me again. Especially when there was nobody to help me. And the only business that I trusted has been stolen by robbers. So, my wife was out on an invitation to attend her friend’s naming ceremony.

So I told her to take care of my children and I dropped the call and switch off my phone. The truth is that since thieves burgled my shop and made away with all my goods, I have been unconscious. I have been living on borrowing life. I can no longer take care of my family again. And I have just made a part-payment of the goods given to me by the good Samaritan.

“Unfortunately, the fol lowing day, thieves burgled my shop. And when I thought of the chances of survival, it was next to nothing.

First, my being alive is a burden for my family, my wife and children and so, it was difficult being a liability.

“So, I took the narrow escape of committing suicide. I hanged myself in my room. But the next thing I saw was a crowd that gathered around me in the hospital.

I was told by sympathisers who took me to Igando General Hospital that I was fifteen minutes dead. But the intervention of my wife and neighbours around rescued me. And after spending three hours in the hospital, I regained consciousness. And doctors confirmed that I could go back home.”

When asked of what was going through his mind when he regained consciousness, he said, “I was confused. I don’t know what to do. The truth is that things haven’t been normal. But my wife and neighbours have been helpful.

“I have so many problems and I don’t know how to come out of it. According to medical findings, there is need for me to go through surgery operation to be able to be on my feet again. “The surgery according to medical findings will cost N500,000.00. Although, the surgery was supposed to be administered on my hand and leg but right now, I want Nigerians to help me with my leg so that I can walk again. Right now, I can’t raise my left hand and my leg is almost crippled”, he concluded. His wife, Funmi Ibirogba, a petty trader said, “I was at a naming ceremony of my friend when I received a call from my husband that I should take care of his children.” I couldn’t picture was the reason for such statement And when I tried to call back, his phone was switch off. At that point, I was confused.

“The fact is that since, robbers stormed on him, he had lost his senses. Even when I tried to console him, he would turn it down. Since the incident, he has been experiencing series of psychological trauma.

So, when I couldn’t get through to him, I rushed home immediately to know what the situation was. But he had hanged himself. And had given up the ghost.

But I summoned courage and carried him down. I cried for help and some people came out to help me. They cut off the rope and rushed him to Igando General Hospital.

“And after a while, he regained consciousness. But, he was brutal and blamed the people for saving his life. He said if he had died, he wouldn’t have been indebted to anybody,” she added.

Ademola told Saturday Vanguard that he loves his battery charging business and he would want Nigerians to help him fulfill his dreams. Unfortunately, he still needs to undergo surgical operations for him to be able to be on his feet again.

He is therefore calling on Nigerians to come to his aid so that he can pick up the pieces of his life once again.

His account name is Ademola Ibirogba while his account number is 1028047995, a savings account in Intercontinental Bank. And his telephone number is 08023286812.

I know a lot of NairaLanders will start argument on whether its an invention or not, the pure case here is that innovation like this had not been created by any Nigeria before now,therefore the best we can do is encourage such things since it will help in the nation's development but i know that the current government will not encourage it because the old guys in power hardly use newer technologies so everything falls back on the youths of today, I'm proud of the guy he did well even though someone else has done it in other lands i don't care and come to think of it...HE IS NWA AFO...PROUDLY NDI IGBO!!!

this project can not last im in support of the Sani guy!!

nyabingi: Mansions of Rastafari are branches of the Rastafari movement. Mansions include the Bobo Shanti, the Niyabinghi, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and others. The term is taken from the Biblical verse in John 14:2, "In my Father's house are many mansions."

Not a rasta though but share their simple ideology which aims at creating the consciousness of brotherhood in a seemingly evil world and also the consciousness of Jah the almighty creator who is Lord over the universe!!

This thread has been so educative i must confess that i have learnt so much about specifications of Nokia phones, what i can deduct here is that all Nokia phones ranging from the simplest to the most sophisticated are good it is you needs that determine what you go for, but sometimes making a wise choice is hard cos Nokia sure knows how to play their marketing game, all phones in their brand don't have the same spec no matter the price i have even noticed that some of their cheap phones have some features the expensive phones don't have...it is all about choice!!

4k cant do, its very new bought it couple of weeks ago you will be the one to enjoy it the most cos its fast!

How much ca you sell Medion 17" water screen, I need response quickly!

I spent nearly five hours for a 30mins journey, the situation is not funny at all and come to think if it why must they block every road just because some cocaine sniffing politician is celebrating a false birthday.I even heard that all ACN states had to cough out billions of naira in order to host the celebration while some of these states have not paid teachers and other civil cervannts...Bad people!!

some one just introduced Nokia Asha 200 to me i like the phone but not yet given a try, does any one in the house know about this fone...tell me pls!!
