Yesterday's man praying for Today's man abi? Abati and Okupe will still explain this scene the more.

I was in someone's office last week, and I noticed that a particular lady had in display in a board beside her desk, both group and individual pictures of her family members. I just wanted to ask whether such a thing is proper in the office, thanks.

How would my praying and fasting translate to good football play?

Last year, it was committees, now it's panels and task forces. Another clueless gimmick.

xtgozie: The return of extortion of commuters on the Imo state axis of Port Harcourt-Owerri High way by men and officers of Nigeria Police Force ( Imo State Command) is becoming worrisome
By Okechukwu Nwokafor, Port-Harcourt
It has become business as usual for the men and officers of Nigeria Police Force ( Imo State Command) on the Imo state axis of Port Harcourt-Owerri High way, on surveillance duties. They have now returned in full gear, in the habit of extorting money from innocent commuters plying this route. This is in spite of the ban on such practice by the present Inspector General of Police, IGP, as he assumed office as the chief executive of the Nigeria police.
For quite some time now, commuters plying many Nigerian roads have heaved a sigh of relief from the actions of law enforcement agents, especially the police who are in the habit of extorting money from innocent commuters at road blocks. Before the ban on road blocks, a journey of one hour could take as much as five hours.
Worried by the grumbling of many road users who suffer untold embarrassment in the hands of these security agents, Mohammed Abubakar, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, ordered the dismantling of all road blocks by the police across the country. This was not only aimed at ensuring sanity but also checkmate the ugly trend of extortion by law enforcement agents at road blocks.
But in Imo state, security operatives seem to have gone back to the old order by returning check points, and blocking highways where they extort money from commuters. Consequently, Commuters in the state are now grumbling over the activities of these men who have now abandoned their duty for wanton extortion.
A lady told a story of how she and another passenger in a commuter bus had entered a nearby bush to ease themselves as their bus was stopped by soldiers for search at a check-point. “When we moved into the bush, we saw to our consternation, heap of notes being counted by one of the soldiers in the bush. On sighting us he scolded; what are you doing here. Turn to the other side”. The lady said they quickly left that spot for another side.
That common scenario can also be seen in almost all the roads where either soldiers or the police mount road blocks in Imo state. Their modus operandi is still the old method of stopping the vehicle and stretching out their hands for toll. Any driver that fails to comply promptly is asked to park by the road side. His punishment includes long delay or payment of additional toll or both.
Those who dared to move without parting with money to these security operatives have ugly stories to tell. There have been cases shooting vehicles and in some cases killing the driver or passenger, or killing driver and a commuter. Some passengers call them armed robbers who rob those they are supposed to protect. This development has not been pleasant to many Passengers who grumble among themselves and ask why this situation would be allowed to continue in Imo state when it has been stopped in other states.
“All I know is that the Inspector General of Police has stopped road blocks. In their place we have surveillance groups who are not supposed to be at a point, and not supposed to collect money from anybody”

Seriously, i was thinking Imo was exempted from the directive on Police Check Points. They're not only on PH Road, they are found on MCC Road by Dickson Fast
food, Ekwema Crescent by Kilimanjaro Fast food, Egbu Road by Road Safety Round about, Concord Hotel to Nekede Road Bypass, to mention but a few. Despite their prescence, kidnappers still have a field day in Imo, on a daily basis.

FG being happy with this development, shows that they've lost it totally. It had confirmed their cluelessness on how to solve this Boko Haram Menace.

This would probably be the last we'll hear of these guys. Who had heard of Kabiru Sokoto, the Oyerinde murder suspects, after they were paraded on camera?

Rubbish, and who says I shouldn't look for an opportunity to loot.

How I wish Jungle justice was allowed in this case, I'd rather have the same hot iron stuck unto both her face and her private part. There are some people not worthy of living.

FIRST STANZA:
*music* Arise O Lootatriots 
The looter’s call obey... 
To loot our fatherland
With greed and zest and verve
The booties of our looters past
Shall never be recovered
To steal with patience and vigour
One nation ruled by bandits
Crooks and bribe-takers.*music* 

SECOND STANZA:
*music* O god of subsidy
Protect our bribery scams
Guide our looters right
Help our greed the loots to steal
In debts and terrorism we grow
And looting day and night
Fat foreign reserves plundered
To build a nation where luck
And cabals shall reign*music* 

PLEDGE:
I pledge to the umbrella of my party
To be greedy, clueless and corrupt.
To loot Nigeria with all our strength.
To defend our lootitude
And uphold our mansions and billions.
So let us loot

Let Channels run another documentary on Police Stations and Police Barracks across the country. We will discover that the rots there are as much as those in the colleges. Let them set up all the panels in the world, one thing is sure, the world is watching.

I still watch their matches, although I'd never place a bet on them.

By the time he goes to at least 3 Police Stations and Police Barracks, the heads of all our Policemen who have rolled. Trust me, you may not hear anything about this issue again.

I wish him well, only that i foresee the end of his career, courtesy of these (c)evil servants.

Someone once described Sanusi as an Economist whose area of specialisation is Political Rascalism. What he had failed to tell us was how the ban would boost our economy, provide employment, increase power generation, etc.

My light was disconnected since October 17 2012, only for one idiot to bring me a bill of 32k just this afternoon. My December consumption alone amounted to N5,900.00.

Pls let us get our facts correct on this free education stuff. Primary education had long been free in Imo. I have a ward in primary 5 now, and I have never been asked for any school fees since she started school in 2009, 2 years before Rochas came along.

We've heard Abati's version, where art thou, o Okupe?

That was an admission that he had been slow. But must he address us anytime he goes to a church? Like i posted last week, he should learn to shut up.

Can't this guy be adviced to shut up, even for once. Has he not known yet that every word of his infuriates Nigerians the more?

Pls let the Architects or Quantity Surveyors in the house educate on us on what materials to be used in building a house for it to cost N7b, let alone N16b. Misplaced priority at its best. They won't have the need to go abroad for treatment again, if our Teaching Hospitals will be equipped with N16b.

I wonder why we all seemed to have problems with mothers breastfeeding in public, yet so comfortable with our young girls exposing bosoms that are even more sagged than the ones being suckled by babies? I wonder who's even turned on by a bosom being suckled by a baby?

Still biting my finger nails now, even as a father of two.

Who says this man is not a good businessman? He needs to get back the funds he was purported to have paid to AMCON in lieu of his bad bank loans.

I wouldn't have spent a kobo on invitation cards, not with this bulk SMS thing.

And how much will be paid to the 'innocent' victims of this useless sect? Next to be compensated would be the South-East kidnappers. Nonsense.

If you come into an interview session, and you're asked to take a bow and leave, what would you do?

Fine, we need to know what will/had happened to the N40billion earmarked for this worthless venture.

Who is even the debtor here, is those of us that pay for what we never consumed, or the people that brings us bills for what they never gave us?

"He pointedly referred to the people of the south-east as “my people”, saying that he even instructed his security men “not to push anybody today because they are all my people”.

Where would they even see those they'll push, when all the markets were shut down, and vehicular movement restricted, because of a Commander-in-Chief who is insecured in his own country.
