Education / The Conversation… The Daya Danfo Driver Surprised Me by pigin: 8:56pm On Jan 23, 2015
I was on my way to Ojota from
Oshodi in a yellow bus a.k.a
Danfo bus. There were so many
things so different about this bus.
While the conductor was
beckoning on me to join their
bus, I noticed he didn’t look like
the other conductors hanging at
their doors croaking Ooo…joooo…
ta aaa (Ojota). He wore a pair of
canvass, his t-shirt had a drawing
of Obama with a bold inscription
across it “yes we can.” When I
boarded the bus, I noticed the
interior was so clean. The seats
were also clean and padded
unlike most Danfo buses I have
boarded in Lagos.
I sat directly behind the driver.
The front seats were already
occupied. At Oshodi Bridge the
two occupants of the front seats
alighted; I quickly alighted and
jumped into the front seat.
I was shocked, though pleasantly,
when I heard what the driver was
playing. He was playing one of my
favourite motivational speakers,
Earl Nightingale. I couldn’t believe
I was listening to Earl
Nightingale’s Direct line in a
Danfo bus. “This is going to be a
good day” I told myself.
I glanced at the driver, he looked
like he was lost in thoughts as
Earl continued to marshal out
some vital life’s points.
I got the driver’s attention and
the following conversation
ensued…
Me: Oga, you are listening to Earl
Nightingale
Driver: Yes please
Yes please from a Danfo driver? I
must be in a deep slumber.
Me: you like Earl?
Driver: Yes. He is one of my
favourites. I listen to Earl up till
10am every day before I change
the cd.
I was so impressed. I was so
happy to listen to this young man
talk.
I decided to push more.
Me: So why Danfo bus?
The young man laughed so
heartily, cleared his voice and
began his story.
Driver: There is nothing much to
say. It is the state of the nation.
Me: Are you enjoying it.
Driver: Yes. I am having fun.
Me: Really?
Driver: You look shocked. Why?
Me: I am just wondering what is
there to be enjoyed
Driver: Well, it is not easy on the
roads; however, I am enjoying
this experience.
Me: Wow.
Driver: Anyway, it is a long story.
But to cut the long story short,
this is not what I originally set
out to do. However, when the
job was not forth coming, I
decided to take the bull by the
horn. So this is the bull and I will
say I am comfortably manning
the horns.
Me: What course did you read?
Driver: I read Education.
Me: You didn’t want to teach?
Driver: I did. I taught for two
years in a private primary school.
Me: So why did you quit?
Driver: The take home pay wasn’t
really taking me home.
I chuckled at the way he said “the
take home pay wasn’t really taking
me home.”
Me: So why did you say you are
enjoying this job? The mad traffic,
crazy drivers, annoying passengers
and all?
Driver: Every business has it
downside. Those are ours. The
challenge is in finding satisfaction
and profitability in whatever you
set out to do.
Meanwhile our conversation was
constantly disrupted by the
conductor who kept reminding
him of the bus stops passengers
intended to alight and the request
for ‘change’. The driver also told
me he has two more buses and a
football viewing centre in his
area. The conductor that was
working with him that day is his
brother. He joins him whenever
he is free. “When he is not
around, I go with other boys, but
I insist my conductors dress
neatly and on no occasion abuse
my passengers. Although most of
the boys that work with me stay
in my neighbourhood.”

Politics / Re: Buhari: The Inconsistencies Continue by pigin: 5:58am On Jan 23, 2015
DDeliverer:
Funny enough, APC changed Shehu Yar'Adua's wikipedia page to fit Buhari's claim that they finished secondary school at the same time.

According to my friend Ogeneochukome, the only CHANGE APC can execute is CHANGING entries of wikipedia pages..
PLEASE RELEASE MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S RESULT, AND NOT MOHAMMED BUHARI'S

The RESULT RELEASED is for MOHAMMED BUHARI and not MUHAMMADU BUHARI.

The result released for Mohammed Buhari (not for MUHAMMADU BUHARI) Shows four credits in WASCE

English Language C5
Hausa C5
Literature in English P7
History A3
Geography C6
Mathematics F9

THIS IS NOT A CERTIFIED TRUE COPY AND DOES NOT BEAR MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S NAME like all of his other documents as at when enlisting in the Army (see his application letter released by the army with his name correctly spelt)

The Army statement http://army.mil.ng/Press-Release.html differed from Buhari's released result.
According to the Army, Buhari's form NA 199A was filled (after commissioning as an officer) was filled as having 5 credits and one pass (English Literature)

The subjects in the Army records (without the certificate) are

English Language CREDIT
Hausa CREDIT
English Literature PASS
History CREDIT
Health Science CREDIT
Geography CREDIT
Hausa CREDIT

However, the obviously hurriedly done Result, apart from showing a wrong name (MOHAMMED BUHARI), omitted HEALTH SCIENCE from his result thus showing only 4 CREDITS and ONE PASS instead of FIVE CREDITS and ONE PASS as filled in his form in 1961 (without the army sighting any of the CERTIFIED TRUE COPIES of his result as filled).

Moreover, he applied in October 1961 that he was still in school, the Army confirmed it. But the result is showing MAY/JUNE... Was there any state in 1961? It was just 3 regions we had .. NORTHERN, WESTERN and EASTERN
Politics / Buhari: The Inconsistencies Continue by pigin: 7:48pm On Jan 22, 2015
Pa Buhari said:
"I graduated in 1961 with
many prominent Nigerians,
including General Shehu
Yar’Adua, former chief of staff
at the Supreme
Headquarters."
FACT:
General Shehu Yar'Adua joined
the Army in 1959. (See his
profile on Wikipedia).
Now I ask :
Was Late General Shehu
Yar’Adua in Secondary school
with Pa Buhari in 1961, two
years after he joined the
Army?
Was late General Shehu
Yar’Adua in Secondary school
with Pa Buhari at the same
time that he was in Royal
Military Academy, Sandhurst?
Tell one lie, you will need
1million lies to cover that one
lie#
Nigerians are watching!
Further observations on
Buhari Statement of
Result. Was there Katsina
state in 1961? Kastina
State was created in 1967
Did we have State Ministry
of Education in 1961?
In 1961 we never had
Class(form) 6, in Nigeria
we had Class(form) 1-5
Katsina was a province
then, why was the result
transfered to state
ministry of education
letter headed paper?
How old was GMB then?
See the passport on the
result. Am just asking out
of ignorance o..
Did results didnt come
with pictures at that time.
SSCE result didnt have my
picture attached to it in
1988 talk more of 1961....

Politics / Vote For Buhari !!! by pigin: 2:04pm On Jan 18, 2015
A silent revolution is taking place
in Lagos. Everyday, thousands of
Lagosians are escaping the hustle
and bustle of Lagos traffic by
traversing the mainland in the
new air condition Diesel Multiple
Unit trains. These trains were
introduced by my administration
as a fore taste of our plan to
develop an inter and intra city
high speed train network for
Lagos. The Federal Government
has already signed a $1.5 Billion
contract for the construction of
the Lagos-Ibadan Express Train.
This service, when complete, will
make it possible to live in Ibadan
and work in Lagos. This is
progressing simultaneously with
the $12 Billion Lagos-Calabar
coastal rail project. This project is
1,402 kilometers long and will
link Lagos to Calabar with stops at
cities along the route. We have
good plans for Lagos, plans that
will ensure that Lagos continues to
be the Center of Excellence and a
pride to Nigeria. GEJ.

Romance / The Great Debate: At What Stage? by pigin: 5:51pm On Jan 15, 2015
Ladies and gentlemen, get in
here the debate is raging and
raging very hot too. I was in a
setting of some single ladies and
bachelors. The topic was so keenly
debated that none of the sides
was willingly to concede defeat.
So I came off the debate not
knowing who won or who was
right. The ladies were more
outspoken about the topic than
the guys. A few of the guys that
attempted to air their opinion
were branded selfish and biased
because the subject matter
seemed to favour them. As usual,
if the issue is not debated HERE ON THIS FORUM, it has
not been debated at all. So I
expect us to thoroughly debate
this issue to the best of our
ability.
So here is the gist. At what point
is it advisable for a lady to lend
money to a guy she just started
going out with. Is it from the first
month or from the third month
or the sixth month or until he
proposes? Especially when this guy
knows that you earn more money
than he does. Is it advisable at all
and if yes, at what point?
Let me fill you in with what some
of the ladies said. One of the
girls who felt that it is not
appropriate to lend your guy
some money especially at that
early stage argued that it amounts
to setting yourself up for some
kind of parasitism. Once the guy
knows that he can easily get
money from you or whatever
name you want to call it, he will
keep coming back with new
reasons to collect more money
from you. She concluded by
saying that she will never lend
money to any guy until she was
certain that the guy is very
serious with her, in fact, she
mentioned that the guy had to
propose first.
The next girl said she wouldn’t
mind to lend her guy the money
even from the first month of
their relationship. But she added
a caveat which others thought was
weak. The lady said as long as she
was sure the guy will not default
in paying back the money. So the
argument digressed a bit and the
question changed also. Others
were like, how are you sure he
will not default, since the journey
just started?
The last girl said the best thing to
do to be on a safer side is not to
lend at all or if you must lend,
lend what you can afford to lose.
Like I mentioned, the guys
sounded biased according to the
ladies. The guys argued that it
does not matter as far as there is
genuine love between the two
parties.
So which side do you belong to?
What is your take?
Politics / Failbuhari: Is The Money For His Children Falling Out Of The Sky? by pigin: 5:42pm On Jan 15, 2015
BUHARI’S FIFTH DAUGHTER ZAHRA
is living and schooling in the
University of Surrey, UK, where
her tuition and expenses are up
to £30,000 EACH YEAR (N8m)!
Yet, Buhari has BEEN CLAIMING to
#Nigerians that he is poor, with
ONLY N1m left in his account and
150 cows on his farm!
Is the money for his children
falling out of the sky?
Is he only PRETENDING to be
penniless to STEAL THE VOTES of
the average Nigerian?
WE ARE WAITING for Buhari to
explain to the SHOE MAKERS,
GATE MEN, CORP MEMBERS, and
YOUTH that donated their last
kobo to his campaign.

Politics / Footballer Released From Jail After Accuser Contacts Him On Facebook by pigin: 6:49am On Jan 14, 2015
A high school football star who
was once one of the most highly-
sought players in the country has
had a rape charge against him
dismissed after his accuser
admitted it had never happened.
Brian Banks, 26, who spent six
years behind bars in California,
collapsed in sobs during a court
hearing as a prosecutor quickly
conceded the decade-old case and
moved for a dismissal.
'There are no words in any
language, no gesture in any
culture that can explain or
describe what I have been
through,' said Banks. 'I hope my
story brings light to a major flaw
in the judicial system. Once a standout football
star, Brian Banks, pictured
weeping after his rape
conviction was dismissed last
year, was just 16 when a
classmate accused him of
kidnapping and raping her
It came after the woman who
accused him, Wanetta Gibson,
added him as a friend on
Facebook when he left prison with
a tag. In a message, she
explained she wanted to 'let
bygones be bygones'.
Banks's lawyer, Justin Brooks,
told KPCC that Gibson and Banks
met and she was caught on video
saying there there had been no
kidnap and no rape, and would
help him clear his record.

Religion / Sermon That Touches The Heart: This Egyptian You See Today by pigin: 8:17pm On Jan 12, 2015
Aiemapt my Egyptian friend finally
accepted to attend a church
service with me after dragging his
feet for more than three months.
By 7:30am the following Sunday,
I was already parked in front of
his apartment waiting for him to
join me. I love attending second
services.
We made it in time to church;
that gave us the privilege of
choosing our choice location. We
sat two rows away from the
podium, directly facing the altar.
The worship songs were on point;
I was surprised Aiemapt Egyptian
friend could sing a couple of
songs. We danced and clapped to
the songs as they come one after
the other. Aiemapt touched me
to say that he liked the
atmosphere in the church,
“Nigerians are indeed a happy
people” he added. I was happy he
was enjoying himself, so I quickly
extended another invitation to
him. “So we come again next
week?” I requested. “Sure, why
not?” Aiemapt replied. I was
happy at the response and shook
him very warmly. I’m sure we
attracted some eyes to us the way
we shook. After about an hour,
the intensive praise and worship
came to an end. As we reached
for our seats, the congregation
applauded the praise team, my
Egyptian friend was not left out in
the applause.
It wasn’t long the ‘man of God’
mounted the podium for the
day’s sermon. After the initial
exchange of pleasantries, he
delved into ‘the word’. “Open
your bibles to Exodus 14:13. ”
After the reading of the scriptural
passage, the pastor lifted a line
off the passage and asked us to
tell our neighbour “the Egyptians
whom you have seen today, you
shall see them again no more
forever.”
I looked at Aiemapt, he looked at
me, I couldn’t utter a word. He
crossed his arm over my shoulder
and said “don’t worry, we are
used to this kind of sermon.”
Religion / Sermon That Touches The Heart: The Day My Boyfriend And I Went To Church by pigin: 6:41pm On Jan 12, 2015
My boyfriend and I drove to
church one Sunday. I had gone to
his house on Friday from work; I
hadn’t visited him for a very long
time. Gosh! It was one of the
wildest weekends I have ever
witnessed.

From that Friday night, the only
break we had from the sheets
were times we had our meals and
a couple other times.
On Sunday, we got into church as
usual. We sang and danced like
every other worshipper.

My boyfriend and I were all
‘touchy touchy’; he would whisper
something into my ears and I
would whisper too. What looked
like Sunday as usual took a
different turn when our pastor
mounted the podium. His sermon
was titled “First Love”; he was
preaching how we related with
God the first time we gave our
lives to Christ.

He kept mentioning all the things
Christians do these days without
any sense of guilt.

He turned to a corner of the hall
and said “I can tell you for certain
that some of you came to church
today straight from your
boyfriends’ bedrooms.” The part
of the hall he was pointing at
happened to be where we sat.
“Somebody there, you are looking
at me now; you came to church
from your boyfriend’s house.”
The whole congregation was
quiet; everyone listened to the
pastor with a straight face.
At the end of the sermon, pastor
made an ‘altar call’; “bow down
your head and close your eyes”
he commanded.

“If you know you purposely lied
or deceived someone or you
committed fornication this week
come to the altar.” It was a very
fiery sermon. More than half of
the church emptied to the altar.
“Do not wait for anybody; do not
look at your partner especially if
your sin partner is there with
you.”

I squeezed Fred’s hand, hoping
he would jump to his feet and
lead the way to the altar. He did
not move. I left him there and
walked down to the altar.
After prayers, I returned to my
seat only to find out Fred was not
there. I reached for my seat and
sat down. On looking up, I saw
him returning from the altar.
Back in the house, we both
looked like fowls thoroughly
beaten in the rain. Before I left
his house that evening, we
resolved we were going to abstain
from sex until we have tied the
knot.

Politics / The Bigger The Ring, The More Likely Couples Will Divorce, Study Suggests by pigin: 9:43am On Oct 14, 2014
The bigger the rock, the rockier
the marriage? A new study from
Emory University indicates that
the more expensive the
engagement and wedding rings
are, the less likely the marriage
will last.
Researchers Andrew M. Francis
and Hugo M. Mialon uncovered
some facts that may make women
think twice about begging for a
rock worth thousands. They found
that men who spent anywhere
from $2,000 to $4,000 on an
engagement ring were 1.3 times
more likley to get divorced than
men who spent $500 to $2,000.
But frugal men who spent less on
a ring were not completely off
the hook, either. The study shows
that men who spent less than $
500 were associated with an
increase in divorce as well.
And just because you spent within
the $500 to $2,000 range does
not clear you from the danger
zone. The study also shows that
women whose weddings cost $
20,000 or more were more likely
to end up divorced than those
whose weddings cost $5,000 to $
10,000. But again, there's a
catch. If only $1,000 or less was
spent on the wedding, divorce is
also imminent.
So here's scientific proof that,
while a diamond lasts forever, a
marriage might not. Source: study has shown
