veave:Ya  people hardly keep birth records in dos days.... They only identify one's age by the age group one is "born with". No one can prove she was born in 1885.... But the people in her age grade were born in the early 19th century i believe the man extragerated his mother's age sha  1 Like |

veave:the mother is younger than 130.... Maybe 110years old.... Assuming the man is her last born and she gave birth to him when she's in her 50s, (my uncle's wife is 76... She had 11 children... Her last born is 24) assuming mother is born in 1905 and is 110yrs old (2015-1905=110) and first child (most probably dead) is 95yrs old born in 1925.... (2015- 1920) = she had her first child when she was 20yrs old in 1925 if she had her last child (d man in d feature article) in 1957 when she was 52yrs old, Then the man's age (2015-1957= 58)... The man is most most likely in his mid/late 50s (i do have uncles who're in their 70s and their mothers are still alive, though d women are very old.... One is an "Ofashi", a kind of old age grade rank... I think it was her age grade that first planted rubber in Nigeria. The ofashi, her last born is over 55yrs) |

When he was brought to the monarch after his arrest, his victims (the two girls he raped earlier in the week) were ask to identify if he was the criminal and it was confirmed so"  "what had been saving him from being caught was his sharp habit of escape every time he robes, the 2nd man, simply identified as Mr Nse Eyo who said he should not be release to the police, but be beaten by the angry mob on the street protesting for his release to them, if police goes away with him the same crime or even worser" .....   mbok....

the mother is might really be 130.... the man obviously isnt her first born... My grandpa recently who recently passed.... He was born in the late 18th century... He used to tell me how mugambo (maryland, lagos) was all bush.... His work as "houseboy" for the "white man"..... Old, well preserved pix of him in colonial army/police uniform.... He is the last born of his father... There're still old women who are older than him in the village..... My uncles/aunties were careless about his health..... He was sick for over 4 months.... Nobody came to see him... Glaucoma took his sight..... When his an aunt eventually came, she was shocked to see his condition.... She said she thought he had only malaria.... Come see how they were spending money on drugs... My dad was indifferent sha.... A juju which is usually kept in the house of the oldest man in the clan... Had been in grandpa's house 4 many years... They'll only carry the juju away when the man dies... To the house of the next oldest man.... My dad wasnt confortable with the juju at all.... Curiously, when grandpa's sickness started, they came to carry the juju away.... He died Nov last Year. Back to the thread, the ages may be true... One of my grandpa's cousin ... Short woman... Over 110 yrs old... She still ride bicycle. |

mikolo80:"by choosing to pay a $500 million fine for breaching the agreement guiding the rail project execution to ensure the Lagos metro rail project was designed by the Jakande government to facilitate transportation within Lagos and surroundings. It was terminated when Buhari military regime took over thus making the country to forfeit a whopping $60 million, which was part of the loan that had been paid by the Jakande administration before Buhari toppled the civilian government." To import goods into the country, businessmen and women must obtain an import licence from the ministry of commerce. As it turned out, award of import licence was skewed heavily in favour of the North, many of whom had neither any knowledge of importation. gunine importers had to pay heavily to purchase import licenses from middlemen of northern extraction. It is on record that by that singular act, Buhari swept many enterprising traders out of business. Just imagine Buhari, after being elected.... Say he wants to preserve Nigeria's foreign reserve by reducing imports.... So he say... Before you can bring tokunbo cars, phones, electronics etc into Nigeria, you'll have to obtain license from min of trade.... that was how these refined petroleum products imports started.... Few northern folks... With the license.... Started importing petrol into the country.... That is why there was regular petrol scarcity until Obasanjo deregulated the downstream sector.... Thats is the same buhari you're hailing as corruption fighter. .................................................................. www.nairaland.com/2127075/ill-ban-importation-rice-tomato "The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammad Buhari (retd), on Monday said if elected on February 14, he would ban the importation of basic items like rice and tomato in order to enhance local production of the products." Instead of increasing port duty on on those products to make them expensive.... Generate more revenue at ports..... Encourage local processing of rice and tomato to international standards, he want to ban and ban... I agree Nigeria has no biz importin dos stuffs but if you ban them, HOW will you meet local demand? local production cannot meet the demand for rice/tomato.... The price will tripple and then become scarce..... Smuggling will begin to thrive.... To meet Local demand and crash price, he'll then give out import license to few crooks .... So mikolo80, you can see for yourself that Buhari hasnt changed |

mikolo80: Some people's head are made of pangolo.... I live @ Ikeja and i do see trains running dia... Am ok with that.... Beta dan no trains at all You're comparing GSM with rail.... Are mtn, glo, etisalat, airtel run by the govt? you know that you'll have to change the NRC act before private companies can begin to run their trains on the rails.... Now let me ask you.... How many years did it take the FG to change NEPA act to enable them privatize it? The same people who enacted those repressive, anti-development decrees and laws in the 1970s-80s are the ones you want to vote back into power again.... Look at how they used quota system to destroy d country..... The Land use decree, federal character.... Y dont we have private refineries in Nigeria today? Its is because of useless laws and decrees battered into the constitution by the same Buhari that you people have turned to saint cos he picked a yoruba man as his running mate..... Am sure you dont even know that Buhari was part of Gowon, Murtala and Abacha regimes.... Those people really messed up the country..... They started the rot in the education system by taking over Mission schools.... They started the corruption at the ports and petroleum sector when by shutting down our industries/refinaries to award oil blocks and petrol import licenses to their brothers and cronies.... Not one power substation was built by Buhari- abacha.... And you still want to bring them back again.... The same people who ruined your country You're not even ashamed to put "sai buhari" in ur signature. That is why i said i can now understand why people say Buhari is illiterate..... Even you.... You're an illiterate.... You dont know the history of your country i am sorry for you |

mikolo80:i said earlier..... "Do you know that NRC is a corporation just like former NEPA....??... Look at Nepa now.... It has been privatized into many discos.... If you want to see lotta trains running about, buying more trains is not the solution.... Change the NRC Act.... Privatize it.... Let private transport and haulage companies bring in their own trains.... And pay NRC for using the system.... Infact, NRC, just like NCC should only play regulatory role.... So change those old laws first... Privatize.... Then things will get better.........!!..." you talked about advance countries.... For how many decades has their rail system been running...??... They are using electric trains abroad.... Nigeria's leaders from Buhari regime in 1982 to ya ardua in 2009..... What effort did they make to improve Nigeria's rail system...??.... nothing....!!... Not even one new wagon was purchased in that period....
