Crime / Re: 2 Shell Workers Kidnapped In Rivers State, 2 Police Escorts Killed by Ofklaw: 8:32am On Apr 27, 2019
It is with great sadness I write to you about the frequent robbery/kidnap along Ahoada/Elele/emouha axis of East-West road. It has almost become a norm and security operatives have turned a blind eye to these occurrences.

There are over 10 check points beginning from Ahoada to emouha it is actually a shame and failure on the path of our security to have all these check pionts and yet these criminals operate successfully. We have the SARs and other police squads on those check points. The SARs men are known to intimadate drivers and harrass passengers with expensive phones and laptops. The police men in other checking points are known to collect 100 from drivers and any drivers who refuses to pay that is when they remember to check for car particulars and search the vehicle all in the bid to delay the driver. Their presence have no effect security wise at all. There have been numerous cases of robbery and kidnaping on that road. There have been whipers that they even work hand in hand with these criminals by leaving their duty post thereby allowing the criminals to operate or not trying to come to the rescues even when they can hear the sound of gun shots which is usually few meters away from their checking points.

Numerous drivers have lost their lives on that road likewise passengers who either end up being killed, raped or dragged (Kidnap) into the bush from which they are taken to their den where ransom are demanded. The case of the Agofure Motors driver who was killed and his passengers kidnapped leaving the lady who was cripple behind knowing fully well that she cant join the marathon to their den. I once heard one the drivers of Agofure Motors saying that they have lost up 15 drivers on that road likewise drivers of other transport companies, private car owners.

I had an encouter with these hardened criminals on the 1st of April 2019, on a monday morning at about 7:30 am, at first it seems like April fool but I was in the middle of a cross fire, gun shots of different sounds, guys who ought to be doing legitimate jobs holding and shooting guns of different caliber. From my Vehicle we could see a helpless driver who was shot right in our very own eyes strongling to survive on the ground. Our driver who was once a victim sometime ago (on his face he has scares, one side of nose blown off, he said eleven bullets were removed from his face and his passengers were taken away that night) miraclouly maneuvered the vehicle out of the horrific scene, even when two of the hoodlums continuously aimed at our Vehicle. The driver was able to drive to nearest checking point signaling all on coming vehicle of the dangers ahead. There were about 6 police men on duty and we told them about the ongoing robbery of which they could hear loudly sounds of gunshots but they didn't move an inch, they waited till we stopped hearing gunshots before they sluggishly drove towards the scene but by that time they were already gone into the bush, I heard there is a river deep inside the bush and they come with boats.

From all observations I think it is the Army that can fully engage these guys in combat. They are not faceless, they are from those communities within, a proper combing of these communities to fish out these criminals need to be done. The elders from these communities have failed to caution their sons. Those checking points should be occupied by the army and new checking should be set up at intervals where these guys still operate. The SARs and Police on that road should be removed from those checking points, they are of no use security wise, they are only there to extort money from drivers and Passengers.

This is a humble plea to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to take the necessary actions to eradicate these criminal, we know you are busy with the election but our lives matters too. I am calling on the Nigerian Army, we dont care how this operation is going to be called wether python, cobra, Viper dance all we want is safe travels along that road. And not leaving out the federal Government we need urgent intervention.

Politics / Delta State Owes 237.7bn Says Commissioner by Ofklaw: 8:06pm On Dec 19, 2016
The Delta Commissioner for Finance, Mr. David Edevbie, said on Monday that the state’s domestic debt profile stood at N237.7bn as at September.

Edevbie, who disclosed this in Asaba during a ministerial news conference organised by the state’s Ministry of Information, said most of the debts were inherited from the previous administration.

He said that the amount included debts owed to contractors and commercial banks and those owed as pension and gratuity arrears, salary bailout, and judgment debts.

He said that contractors alone were owed over N100bn, but expressed optimism that the figure would reduce after the completion of the ongoing debt verification by the ministry.The Commissioner said that the state owed over N23bn as pensions and gratuities and N779.3m as judgement debts.

Edevbie, however, said that most of the borrowings had already been restructured into long-term debts of between 10 and 18 years.

The commissioner explained that the essence of the restructuring was to reduce pressure on the state’s cash flow.

On achievements of the ministry, Edevbie noted that the state government was committed to paying the monthly salaries of workers and pensions.

He said that due to the decline in the state’s revenues from the Federation Account, it had become difficult for it to pay salaries and pensions as at when due.

He said, “This problem is not peculiar to Delta State alone but a nationwide challenge. The state government as a matter of necessity, devised prudent ways of ensuring that staff salaries and pensions are paid.

“This was achieved by withholding certain deductions monthly when the revenue was unable to accommodate the total salaries.

“In such cases, only the net salaries were paid to the beneficiaries while the deductions were released subsequently upon availability of funds.

“As at the end of October 2016, the state was owing N9.2bn as arrears of such deductions.

1. Biko : Biko is an Igbo word for "Please" And it means same in Urhobo, in Urhobo you usually hear word like "Oghene' biko keme' Igho" Meaning "God please Give me money".

2. Olori : Olori is a Yoruba Word for Head .. in Urhobo it means the same thing..

3. Orgor' : Orgor' is an Igbo word for 'Inlaw'. It means the same thing in Urhobo.. for example I might say "Oniovo Orgor we' nkor " meaning 'brother how is Your Inlaw ".

4. Omo' : Omo'r is a Yoruba word for Child, It has same meaning in Urhobo.. I can make statement like " e' Freemanan Omo'r meh' … meaning "Freemanan is my Son" grin

5. Obara' : Obara is an Igbo word for blood.. It means Same In Urhobo.. Why The Igbo woman will shout "Obara Jesus" and Urhobo Woman will say "Oba'rah' Re' Jesu"

6. Jesu' : Jesu' is an Yoruba word for Jesus . its still the same in Urhobo

7. Ew'a : Ew'a is another Yoruba word for Beans and its thesame with Urhobo. Ew'a is pronounced in Urhobo exactly thesame with That of Yoruba

8. OBA : OBA is a Yoruba word for king , We still use it in Urhobo.. If we Want to Call God.. we say Oba' risi' meaning " King Of The Word"

9. Akpere : Is a Yoruba word for basket, it means the same Thing in Urhobo

10. Ego : Its an Igbo word for Money.. in Urhobo we say Igho .. I believe the word belongs to Igboid.

11. ejime : Its an Igbo word for Twins, Its spelt and Pronounced The same in Urhobo

12. Osusu : Is a Yoruba Word for Monthly savings. Its the same in Urhobo

Pls don't derail the thread. THANKS [/quote

Career / Re: 10 Professions In Nigeria You Can Still Practice Without Studying them by Ofklaw: 7:55am On Oct 06, 2015
Op just restricted Mechanical Engineering to the repair of cars, at the mention of Mechanical Engineering what comes to mind of an average Nigerian is the repair of cars.

Mechanical is very wide, automobile is just one of the many areas of specialization in Mechanical Engineering and can even be studied as a course , do you know that air conditioning and refrigeration is also Mechanical Engineering?

You think those vessels and pipes routed all around the refinery were merely putted there by eye guage? They were selected based on fluid type, flow rate, pressure, temperature e.t.c, do you think ur road side mechanic can do that, i just talked about fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, strength of materials, materials selection and even laydown design codes which varies with countries based on their environment.

So you feel no need studying Mechanical Engineering because the machanic can repair a car, what about the Engineer that designed the car? He didnt put those piston and rings, connecting rods crankshafts, pulleys and belts, gear box and the rest together because he is a native doctor, they were based on rigorous calculations (Machanics of machine, Machine design e.t.c)

Mechanics are craft men not Engineers even the so machanics spend minimum of 3 years training in the workshop with proper flogging. Have you ever wondered why your last car didnt last?

Engineers -B.Eng, B.sc
Technologist -HND
Technician - OND
Craftman - O level and below (Mechanics, Electricians e.t.c)

We have alot to learn in this country.
