read my earlier post, what if it is for that reason? for the love he has for the wife he might not want to come out open to say she committed adultery

wandeay: no name wey dem no go use for church, 'communion church'
i tire oo, bsides, the bible mentions adultery as the only ground for divorce, am sure he jumped the portion while reading his bible,

i remmmber that incident

berem: if you are living in block of flats then you might not experience robbery attack.festac town has been my hood for close to 30yrs before I moved out 4yrs ago.the first time I witnessed a robbery incident was in october 18,2004 when dare devil armed robbers invaded the popular Bereau De Change at 207 road beside the mosque! No be small thing o! The whole of 22road,512road,207road and 511 road were under seige! I remembered me and my siblings peeping thru the window and we saw the armed robbers inside a white mercedes V boot,some came out thru the door driving with speed after robbing successfully.I thought I was watching a nollywood movie! Festac Town has has its glory I tell ya!

not doubting you but which part of festac? because i stay in festac and dont hear of these robberies

oyb: i live in festac and for the past 6 months there have been escalating home invasions by small boys like the ones being discussed

laptops, blackberries, jewelery

earlier in the year, they would sneak into houses in groups of two

a month or so ago, four of them came to my house - because my compound is very well illuminated, a neighbour saw them poking around, raised the alarm, and they ran away, but they still robbed someone else and got away with handbag and blackberry


a week later, they came back, 8 in number, with matchetes they went through 5 houses before they came to my house , mostly they sneaked in, woke up the occupants, take all the laptops etal, ra-pe the women or debate on it , lock them up

when they came to my house, they came through the balcony upstairs. i woke up to the sound of the thugs breaking the sliding glass door of the balcony.

i came out to confront two thugs , one weilding a machete, the other some sort of gun . the thug with the matchete was shouting what they probably teac them in armed robber school - where is the money

the guy with the matchete first slapped me in the face with the matchete , when he saw i was not willing to cooperate. i then threw the only thingi could at him - the dustbin beside me. he then hit me in the head with the matchete , with blood pouring down the side of my face , i rushed at the two thugs and knocked them off the balcony.

my wifes screams had alerted teh neighbours, and the robbers all eight of them, commenced running up and down the neighbourhood shouting like mad dogs

someone had called the police, and for once they actually showed up, but the robbers still got away

they also matcheted our security guard.

typical to naija police, the next day there was a show of arresting some locals who we were then asked to identify face to face , never mind that people have id ed thieves in the past o have the thieves tell them to their face that nothing will happen

jungle justice is inevitable in a country where the nigerian police are good for nothing and are often in league with armed robbers

the same theives raided another neighbourhood in festac a week or so ago - this time they were 16 in number, but their luck ran out as the neighbourhod abokis were on to them. four of them were caught. the locals almost burnt them alive before they handed them over to the police

violent crime has all sorts of repercussions to the victims - there's the physical trauma - i have a scar on my forehead, i needed several stitches, i cut the my feet running at the robbers and needed stitches there too - i was out of office for over a week ; for the next week everyone jumped at the slightest noise - we all had trouble sleeping, i wake up at odd hours to look outside; ditto for some of my neighbours

these boys did not wear masks, thats how bold they were. the other day i was in an eatery and i saw a boy who looked to be about the height of on of the robbers. the boy was limping. i stared at him for a very very long time. who knows? it could have been one of them.

imagine, one of the thieves who was caught said he was saving money to leave nigeia, which was why he was breaking into peoples houses to rob and r-ape. what nonsense

might on the ground of infedility, Heard their first child looks like their former gateman and the gateman has since been sent packing. a member of the church told me that is the rumour in the church right now

Thank you Mukina2, I'm a teacher and would want to meet other teachers on this forum, especially Computer/ICT.

Happy Teacher's Day to my fellow teachers across the globe

Segun Adeniyi wrote in his book that saharareporters was a pain in the neck of those in ASO VILLA during Yaradua's tenure, I think that's an understatement, they permanent injection in the bottom of those in power especially at the federal level. Don't blame them, blame the FG for spending tax payers money and not wanting to state the main reason why. Why not issue a press statement and tell the truth instead of peddling lies when they know we have saharareporters and premiumtimes to dig out their dirt?
Where's BEAF sef? (Reno Omokri)

the fourth mainland bride which is long overdue would have been completed long ago if OBJ had not played politics with the idea back then, if concession is the way out then let it be, Lagos is on its own because it is not a PDP state and this is unfair. The other day GEJ called on Fashola to be open so they can work hand in hand but the truth is that PDP can't work with Lagos because it is ACN. Fashola knows this and is not waiting for the FG any longer for development. Kudos

I love this

and some fools aresuporting gej on facebook even though it is glaring he lied. e go better is really making us bitter

show ends

once upon a time, Dubai came here to borrow money, now we go to Dubai to 'do buy'. Nigerians must accept responsibility for the greatness of their nation. you don't have to wait for another four years to demand what is right

nigeria is the only nation where robbers wire their money abroad,if we are going to be a strong nation we need to be a producing nation. other nations work abroad and send money home, Nigrians send their own money abroad

if we are going to serve, let us go with the heart of solving the problem and not just seeking power

should a pastor go into politics? if God calls him why not?

Nigeria urgently needs to have a restructured federal system, we are like the titanic and the iceberg has been sighted, we either stop and restructure or we sink

a destructive means cannot bring about a constructive end

or someone that cannot prosecute, just like obasanjo did by bringing yaradua

every thief who has stolen from this nation, looks for another thief to take over from him

when we dont mend a leaking roof, the day the big storm will come, it will blow the whole roof away

it will take a God fearing leadership to swallow the problems

honesty is the best policy, up to this hour, mr president cannot tell you how much oil is being pumped and even consumed

i went to edwin clarke and told him ' your son is surrounded by vultures, he cannot rule this nation'

govt has the responsibility to protect the country, if they cant then they have failed

pls tune it to ltv now

someone said festac is not flooded, not true. 2nd gate along 2nd avenue is always flooded whenever it rains with all sorts of faeces coming out from the drainage. some other parts of festac are safe though but saying festac does not get flooded is a big fat lie

2tex: i tutor in a skol in Abj where ICT is tot from grade 1 up. U nid 2 c how fast these kids catch up.

pls lets communicate, m a tutor in a primary school and need other tutors for exchange of ideas

pls include ict, i'm a computer teacher at primary level and the curriculum is not what it should be

Rooneyboy: U don't now what ur saying, festac has underground drainages.
Na white people do am na.

Festac has a very excellent drainage system but "I don't care" attitude of most present and past residents has blocked most of them, plus govt negligence over the years. Some parts get flooded and some parts don't. Most close in festac have got their water drainage outlets blocked and they ignored it. I'm a Festac product and I'm still there so I know what I'm saying

The rain started like a child's play yesterday and got worse today, this is close 29 in satellite town Lagos, post pictures of other places if you can.

the same way they said the house resolution on subsidy removal was mere expression of opinion and not necessarily needs to be follwed

mosques are the main culprits in amuwo. There's a mini mosque behind my house from the hausas there, their noise starts from 5am, not up to 150 meters there's another one with the same noise. They are scattered all around festac and agboju, disturbing the peace of others in the name of religion. CD sellers too add their own during the day
