It's the devil at work.

Which kind wahala be this?!! �

Why is it that when you are in an active relationship you often meet lots of the opposite sex that are interested in you, but once you have serious issues that seem irretrievable and you give it a quit, you see none anymore? � � � �

I don't really know how you take it, but all I care nowadays make up does not make up relationships. It rather distances affection.

Take it or leave it, ladies make up to look nice. It is usually that little powder on the face to dry off the facial oil, thereafter is a follow up of that dark eye pencil on the brows and lids. Then is that light lipstick or lips gloss with sometimes using the eye pencil to highlight the lips. What a glamour. I love my mum on those. One could easily hug, peck and kiss. That was then.

Nowadays we talk about foundation, nude lips and blah blah blah. You could rarely recognize that beautified lady you went out with and perhaps held her hand when it was raining. She's so washed that even her natural beauty is modified to the opposite. There stands your masquerade!

She makes up and looks so beautiful but you can't hug, peck or kiss less you spoil her beauty. How does it strengthen your relationship. You have food but cannot eat. No wonder Shakespeare of lasting memory said beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

What is beauty of you to me if I can't hold you affectionately? What more can I explain of yours when each time we hug we separate with a frown. You frowning that I've wiped off your apparels and me that you have rubber stamped my attires?

Tell me how it has helped. Please ladies, let me read your views. The men are not excepted.

Just a thought.

I don't think 3 years is sufficient to get to this stage you suggest. The owners of that place shown in the picture actually attained that stage after DECADES of SUSTAINED CONSTRUCTION of those. They didn't "cash out" and left jobs undone.

Therefore we should plan for yesterday faded glories. Is the budget not sufficient to birth those projects?

Rethink... Else naija go remain.

what could have been wrong. very painful

If you watch the video with attention you can hear the man saying 'she has been cheating on me'. That is the cause o. It is sad that he realised this lately. Who could have informed him about it now?

That's y couple needs to be careful on how they invite their ex-to weddings. I can do same if I see visible signs of emotional attachment to someone I know you are not blood relatives.

Until we get to this stage. We are only but joking with our future.

I am sure they travel out. It is vexatious seeing them give such meager standard and get hailed.

So painful. This is the first time their plane will crash in years of their operation

No dear. It is not the first time. In 2010, one of its airlines crashed in the Mediterranean Sea.

inspiration101:
With a Masters Degree from a German university, Kester Audu could have stayed put in the European country, like many of his contemporaries are wont to do, but he chose to return home, albeit under a programme jointly implemented by the Centre for International Migration (CIM) GIZ and the Federal Employment Agency of Germany. He speaks with Dorcas Egede on the attraction and challenges of living and studying abroad, and why he chose to return.

Unlike many young Nigerians who travel abroad to escape the hardship in their country, Kester Audu, a graduate of Industrial Chemistry from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, took the decision to go do his masters degree in Germany, more out of curiosity, and “to see what obtains on the other side of life.” And so to Germany, he headed after his compulsory one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

True to his expectation, he did see what obtains on the other side of life. Starting from the minute he stepped foot at the airport in Frankfurt, Audu realised the reason for the strong pull on young people to go abroad. “I’ve never been so burdened for Nigeria as the first time I stepped foot in Frankfurt airport. That was my first time of actually travelling outside Africa. I was amazed that human beings could build what I saw there. And for me, it became like a challenge, that if humans could build the kind of airport I saw in Frankfurt, it means we’re sleeping in Africa.” He said.

Having been admitted into Brandenburg Technical University (BTU), Cottbus, Germany to study Environment and Resource Management, Audu soon discovered that achieving academic excellence abroad wasn’t so much a herculean task as in Nigeria. “I was able to finish my programme in a record time of about 14 months. One thing that helped me achieve that was the kind of training I had received in my Nigeria school. Unlike back home, here your lectures are flexible, you have teachers who interact with you on a personal note, you have enough time to do research works and of ctextbooks of text books at your disposal.”

The challenges

Audu decided on the Diary of an international student “because of what happens to us Africans when we travel abroad. Many people feel that once they cross the border, they automatically make it in life.” But then, how realistic is this expectation considering the challenges international students face?

While Audu admits that international students grapple with economic challenges amidst other challenges, he strongly believes that the challenges they face are more social than economic. “Most times the challenges foreign students face abroad is more social. For instance, by the time you leave here to Europe or America for your master's degree, you’re already gone past the age of students in a masters degree class because you’ve spent a lot of time working to save up to travel. Anyway, age is just in the numbers, as they say, but of course, you know that at that age, there are also a lot of things that begin to impact on what you want to do.”

Now, you’re probably married and have kids or aged parents who probably cleared their life’s savings to make your dream to study abroad come true; maybe you even loaned the money to study abroad. Whatever the case, Audu says these things add up in no small way to the burden of international students. “Your counterparts in Europe, America and even China, don’t face that kind of pressure. And these impact on your quality of life and global competitiveness in the long run.”

Another social challenge which Audu observed foreign students face is in association. “When you travel abroad, the first set of people you meet shape your mentality, they shape how you see the society.”

He was fortunate to meet people who nudged him towards starting early to achieve his set goals. However, not every international student is as fortunate as Audu; some of them have first contacts who wrongly colour their impression. “When you meet a black person on the way, you definitely want to associate, so those people come to you and begin to tell you things about society. Things like it’s hard. You will need to get your residency. You will need to get your citizenship. You have to marry a white. You have to birth a child in society. What now happens is that, instead of our students looking to acquire the knowledge, skills and network to make them relevant, they begin a rat race for survival. This is why you can have a PhD student who has been doing his program for about five or six years; a master's students who have finished one master's program and after three years, go back to do another one, not because he’s truly seeking for knowledge, but because he wants to extend his stay in the society.”

Strategy is key

Audu is therefore of the opinion that those who seek to go abroad, either for work or study or as permanent residents, must have a strategy. “Many people travel without a plan, so when they get there, they get stuck, and it takes a lot of time, meaningful years of their lives before they find some kind of headway.”

“I was able to do some kind of humanitarian work in Berlin; attended a lot of conferences, where I met people to improve my network. I acquired some very good skills set and became knowledgeable in the issue of sustainability that helps me look at the problem as a whole and not just in part, like many of us do. That is why we have researchers who have had breakthroughs in their researches, but don’t have the skill to communicate these breakthroughs to policy makers. They don’t even understand how policy makers think to be able to adopt that research and use it for the benefit of society.”

He also thinks “The excitement and expectation of people going abroad have to be put in check. Yes, the environment is better off, if you want to compare it to what we have in Africa, but it’s not a walk in the park.”

Migration malady

Asked what he thinks is responsible for the inordinate desire of young people to go abroad despite sad tales of migrants drowning in the Mediterranean and slavery in Libya, Audu said, “First of all, the issue of migration is not just in part; drowning in the Mediterranean Sea is only part of the story. Let me tell you some facts about migration that can put this in perspective, it. Currently, in the world, there are 258million migrants. In 2000 we had about 173m and in 2018 alone, it has risen to 258m.”

According to Audu, “One out of any 30 persons is a migrant, 48% of migrants are women and out of this 258m, 50m are children.” He said that one fact about migration that most international media don’t talk about is that most migrants move through safe and legal means.

Continuing, he added: “Migration should be an engine for economic growth and entrepreneurship, anywhere. In 2017 alone, migrants spent approximately $450m in remittances to developed countries. Now, this is three times the amount spent globally on development aid.”

Noting that a huge sum of migrants’ earnings is pumped into their host countries’ economies, Audu said, “Migrants spend 85% of their earnings in their host countries, so it’s the other 15% that they try to send back home.”

Audu said people migrate because “they are looking for better opportunities.” He however strongly believes that if Nigerians had access to basic amenities to make them comfortable in their country, they won’t need to go anywhere. “It was shocking to me when I got to Germany and realized that many people there see Africa as a country. They don’t know much about us. What does that tell you? It’s possible for child to be born in Germany and hasn’t visited more than four or five countries. What this portends is that where people find opportunities, fulfilment, and full expression of their liberties and rights, they may not have any cause to leave those places.

“So, when you see young people on this side of Africa, who, maybe because they cannot afford to go through legal means like going to school and stuff like that, want to go abroad by all means, just know that they must have perceived their socio-economic conditions as very bad.

“I say ‘perceived’ because it’s not like going through the illegal means is cheap. Many of them have savings, but they just feel that the return on their investment will be higher if they find themselves on other shores.”

Audu attributes this belief to misinformation. “The media, what we see in the movies. Many people don’t know that there are beggars on the streets of New York, or that there are homeless people in Europe. Movies will not actually show you all that, but the fine cars and houses, and the colourful ambience.”

One-sided narrative

But Audu believes that the migration story is not told in a balanced manner. It is told in such a way that makes it look as if migrants cost their host countries a fortune, but they fail to talk about how robust their economies become because of migrants. “If you’re telling us about the remittances to developing countries, also tell us what goes out to developed countries because of migrants’ activities. For instance, the German policy requires that the student who wants to study there would have to have at least 8,000 Euros opened in a German account. So, imagine you have 500 students who leave Nigeria to study in Germany. Multiply 500 by 8,000 Euros, you know how much that is into their economy.”

What the international community is doing

“For me, another thing that strengthened my resolve to return home, which is something for which I really give credit to the German government, is that, as part of their plans towards solving some of these migration issues, they created a platform such that after you’ve studied and trained in Germany, if you choose to go back home, wherever you find yourself or whatever you want to do, they will give you certain kind of support for some period of time.

“Now, imagine if other countries adopted that kind of strategy. Those of us who chose to return on the platform provided by the German government were few at first, but now the network has grown and we are close to 30 already.

“The United Nations is talking about what they call the global pact for safe, orderly and regular migration. That is the new agenda of the UN and it has clear objectives to make migration safe and regular, to address the concerns the of the government and to reinforce national sovereignties, to recognise the vulnerabilities faced by migrants who travel through these irregular means, to make known the benefits of migrants to their host countries.”

What our government can do

To solve migration problems, Audu says the government can do a lot. “With our growing population, we have to create jobs. The government has to engage the teeming youthful population and we have to throw open the manufacturing space. We can’t make jokes about manufacturing.

“Nigeria is one of the biggest markets for automobiles, yet how many cars do we manufacture? The manufacturing sector is a sector that can absorb people in numbers.

“We have to develop vocational skills. Our graduates are not even well groomed for the labour market. So, vocational skill isn’t something we should take lightly.

“Another thing we must take seriously is agriculture. Soon, the world will begin to look to Africa for food security. We have the land, the weather, the human capital. So, what the government needs to do is take care of basic things such as power, job creation, etc. and once people are engaged, they begin to find fulfilment. At least, they have the ability to feed and shelter themselves, just the basic necessities of life.

“The health sector must be revamped. If someone is sick he should be able to have health insurance that helps him. This is why people don’t want to return home because those basic things are catered for abroad. This is why a Nigerian will do anything to be the citizen of another country. This is why you have a lot of elites and the middle-class wanting to have their children abroad. Once those things are fixed, I’m telling you, you won’t have people thronging abroad the way to they do.”

According to the young man, the government needs to brace up. They need to set up policies that make things work. They need to strengthen ties with our diasporas and tap into that network. They need to strengthen policies, health care policies, set up educational policies that achieve four important things, namely: (1) make us know more about ourselves, our family, background, history of our country and continent. Many of us don’t even know where we are from. (2) Help us study our environment, economically, politically, socially, geographically. (3) Help us identify our problems and (4) we have to develop an educational system that will help individuals to solve these problems that have been identified, because that is one thing we are lacking. We know the problems, but many lack those critical problem solving skills.”

He captured it all.

We had a good argument in an event in Viadrina, Brandenburg. This argument later became a slogan "Africa is not a country".

Sadly, my brothers (African and particularly Nigerians) back home took it up against me and rather criticised and booed me for "neglecting" my motherland. I was quoted to say my slogan "Africa is not a country" posted on my social media accounts suggested that as I went "abroad" Africa became "shit" to me. They expressed much disappointment.

Up till this moment, some are not in talking terms with me o. Cuz of that lone issue.

There is nothing new in the experience shared above. He is apt. You make some cash that goes back to the system.

I've seen lots of Africans who say they've been there for over 8 years. Yet nothing to show. Scattered hairs in the band of fashion, expensive necklace that sits in doubt and with an expensive chain wristwatch that hangs as shackles...

Just a few are OK. Others keep on doing assorted degrees that they don't work with. The essence, to keep their stay legally elongated.

German babes become an issue of interest for the males, while German guys are targeted by the females.

I was actually thinking of a thread like this. Here, from my archives:

Bandits Who Burnt Young Lady In Obudu Unveiled


CrossRiverWatch has been able to obtain the identities of the gangsters who went to seize late Chinagold from her apartment in Bekpam layout in Obudu before beating and dragging her to the cyclists park where she was roasted to death.


The trio have been named as:


1. Monday Ogar alias 'Reverend'


2. Ikwen Sunny Awusha alias 'Immortal'


And a third person simply identified as, Stain White.


The trio are said to be well known and feared members of a criminal gang, Klans and notorious criminals in Obudu.


Multiple security sources confirmed to CrossRiverWatch that, on hearing that their gang member had been killed in Obanliku, the three rushed to China's house to catch up with Mama Fresh and couldn't, that's why they killed her.


It was further gathered that the three bandits are feared in Obudu because of their notoriety and the support they allegedly enjoy from top state government appointees from Obudu.


Law enforcement agents say they are still on the trail of the suspects.

This is why Africa is not improving. There's a lot of illiterates residing in that continent. Have noone EVER taught you fools in Niggeria the concept innocent until proven guilty. Just because you heard of a fucking rumor does not mean it's true. Enemies of a person always spread rumors about their enemy whether it's factual or not. That's why people INVESTIGATE before taking actions. Other cultures does it but no, not Africa. I honestly do not see the difference between Africa and middle East. Primitively backwards in thinking. SMH. Rest in peace to the girl. If you are innocent of what you were acussed, may those responsible for your death never progress in life

It happened right in my very own eyes here in obudu I know the girl was innocent of the allegations levied against her

I was there too I'm from Benue but i normally travelled to cross river sometimes because it is very close like 5 6 ... this lady will call motorcyclist and direct the motorcyclist to drop her at her bad gang place ,,, after the dropped the gang will now kill the motorcyclist and collect the motorcycle

Please tell us how you got this information.

With the mixed information coming out won’t it have been better if the Police intervened and carry out a proper investigation. I think the Police should go and arrest the masterminds and perpetrators of this Jungel Justice. They have committed murder.

METROCross River mob roast 32-year-old lady in place of her boyfriend who allegedly stole motorcyclePublished on January 1, 2019 By Edem Edem

A 32-year-old woman had been roasted to death over an alleged stealing of motorcycle by her boyfriend in Obudu local government area of Cross River State.


The victim, Miss Vivian, a graduate of Federal College of Education (FCE) Obudu was said to have harboured the suspect who was alleged to have murdered a commercial motorcycle operator with a view to collecting his motorcycle.

An eyewitness, who declined identifying himself, said the victim was set ablaze as her boyfriend that was alleged to have absconded after stealing a motorcycle in Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State.


He said that the Vivian, popularly known as China in Obudu, was roasted on Saturday on allegation that her boyfriend was involved in the murder of Peter Akikieye, a commercial motorcyclist from Obudu.

Akikieye was allegedly murdered when some persons attempted to forcibly collected his motorcycle on the 23rd of December 2018, along Bishiri road, Obudu.

“I came out of my house this morning and saw some boys beating up China and asking her of her boyfriend. I identified some of the boys to be cultists belonging to the KKs.


“They told the girl to call her friend. She took her phone, tried to reach her friend but it was not successful. So they told her that if her friend does not come out, they will burn her and just like play, they did it.

“They dragged her and kept beating her from her house till they got to the cyclists’ park and a big crowd of more than 500 persons gathered and watched her being burnt alive.”

The witnessed alleged that the Police were on ground but couldn’t save Vivian. “I was there live and saw it all. Two well-known police officers were standing beside me watching the whole scenario.

“Most of us from the opposing view; our opinion didn’t count because we were so little compared to those who were chanting the burning anthem.

“It took up to an hour before she was finally burnt,” a source said.

But the Police Public Relations Officer, Ms Irene Ugbo lamented the mob attack and roasting to death of the victim.

Speaking to DAILY POST on phone, Ugbo said the victim harboured the suspect in her house and when the angry mob made up of Obudu youths invaded the compound, the pounced on the victim while the suspect absconded.

“The woman was roasted to death by the youths of the community, they couldn’t get to the suspect and they pounced on the lady that harboured him in her house. The suspect was her friend”.

She said that the youths alleged that the suspect (absconded) involved in various heinous crimes in the area including cultism, “he absconded when the angry youths went to her friend’s house where he took refuge.

“The angry mob attacked the woman, gave her thorough beating, and roasted her to death. Some suspects have been arrested and they would be prosecuted in law court soon,” she stated.

She recalled that the Police Command had severally warned mobs not to take the law into their hands but they ignored it, “Sadly, by the time the Police got to the place, the harm had been done,” the PPRO said.

I said earlier that they were mixed stories coming up.

The first version is that posted earlier. While the second version is that she never took part in the said recent killings, but that she was a friend to a certain guy's girlfriend. The guy in question was the target not the girl. However, she had information about him which she failed to supply when needed or as required by the gangs.

When she had been beaten to pulp, she was dragged to the public with a burning allegation that she was involved in the recent killings and snatching of motor cycles.

That is not all. The third version is that the whole thing is cult related and unconnected to the recent killing and snatching of motor cycles. But that it was tied to the last killing days ago involving a cultist. That her killing was in retaliation of that Killing. According to the story, she was a cultist and it was a reprisal attack.

The striking thing is, it was alleged that someone in the scene recorded her voice during her torture but when that was found out the phone used was immediately destroyed.

Eye witnesses I spoke with said some persons are currently in the hospital following an argument that ensued whether she be lynched or not.

More details...

There are mixed stories about her end. Details later...
