VolvoS60: sad

This is heartbreaking.

I am fed up with saying RIP with each fresh calamity. angry

I refuse to believe that the quality of our lives cannot improve. Nigerian roads have been slaughter slabs for how long? 10? 20? 40? 50 years? Don't we deserve better? These people had families and loved ones.

This harvest of death is totally avoidable.

We must choose governments that fear us (we the people) enough to live up to their responsibilities or these needless deaths will continue.

The choice is ours.
If you are going to sympathize, you can do so without necessarily blaming the government. There are myriads of other causes of road accidents apart from bad road. When will people like you take up responsibility for your destiny and stop pointing fingers ?

I use Nokia Lumia 520. Recently, whenever I charge it, the battery icon continues to blink as if it is charging without really charging. When I unplug it, the icon still continues to blink. Please, who knows what is wrong, and how can I tackle the problem? Thanks.

LiteratureShe Was Roasted In Kano by Rogers210(op): 5:53am On Aug 06, 2014
It was on the 18th march, 2013, at Sabongari motor park in the ancient city of Kano. Tired and exhausted, she sat in the bus, waiting for it to fill up so she can start her journey back to Kogi state. From the window, she watched as two touts threw punches at each other. Her attention later shifted to a young girl who could not have been more than ten with a bowl full of chilled soft drinks comfortably seated on her head. The unfriendly Kano sun was blazing hot and seems capable of roasting a live chicken. For a poor innocent kid to hawk on such a hot afternoon reminded her of her own childhood in Kabba. She thought of her brilliant performance at the interview she came to do and the danton task of taking care of her mother immediately she got the job and started earning money. Just at that instance, she saw a Volkswagen Golf car enter through the gate of the motor park and several of the bus conductors running towards it, touting for passengers. Then, in a flash, something happened.

How suddenly disasters overtake humans every time. Being humans, we only love to lay out our beautiful plans for the day. We do not want, or are too afraid to entertain the thought of possible calamities that may befall us, even though they befall people around us every day. We take solace in discarding such thoughts "in the name of Jesus". Yet, they happen. However, some of us are bold enough to reconcile with the unpleasant realization that accidents and disasters that maim and kill are part are of our lives and that they will always be. We were born and we must die. The nature of our conceptions and births are similar but the nature of our deaths are mostly different.
When she was invited for an interview with the very multinational company of her dream, though happy was everyone for her, none was surprised. She was on top of her class throughout her school days. She was the best graduating student of the department of economics and everyone present at the convocation ceremony could see the promise she radiated. Her case was going to be that of another rising star, like every star before her, destined for great heights. Due to her humble and quiet nature, many of her classmates did not know the legendary Esther physically. Many of them got to know her name through gossips. However, they all knew her matriculation number by heart.

Hard work and perseverance they say, are golden virtues that a man should imbibe. These virtues are an investment in the future. They reassure a man of tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow is not for humans to predict because, it is so uncertain. What happens if after so much hard work and perseverance, a man fails to witness tomorrow? Then, the long years of labour and sweat have come to naught. Yet, the uncertainty of tomorrow is not a reason to be lazy because, if a man chooses to laze around based on this, tomorrow might just creep up on him, to his doom.

She watched the Golf drive towards that section of the park where about three large buses including the one she sat in were parked. A number of motor park touts swarmed after it. She was dismayed at the recklessness of the driver, then suddenly, there was a loud bang. A bang so loud that none, present within a kilometer radius of the park that day, had ever heard before. The explosion was so loud that both of her eardrums where ripped open. The window shattered and pieces of broken glass got buried in our face and chest. The explosion gave the huge single-decker luxurious bus a severe jolt that sent her and other passengers colliding against one another and against the body of the vehicle. She was thrown up towards the roof and she landed with the middle of her backbone on top of the backrest of a chair. After the impact, she went numb. She wanted to but couldn't move any part of her body. She was simply too weak now to run to safety.

Though she could only faintly hear the noise and cry of agony, pain and terror that filled the air around her, she could clearly see the commotion. The air wreaked of blood, torn flesh, smoke and death. Still trapped in the bus, all around her were dead bodies, wounded people and destroyed properties. Her head started to ache so badly as she tried to put her thoughts together. She realized she was soaked in her own blood and it was becoming more difficult for her to breathe. She looked around, bewildered, and praying with her heart, "In Jesus name, I will not die here. I will survive this. I plead the blood of Jesus. My future holds too much promises....". She remembered her mother and burst into tears. Then suddenly, the bus caught fire. At first, the fire was a few inches away from her feet, she tried desperately to get away but could not move a single muscle in her body. Then, in her thin, faint voice she started to cry and yell, hoping help would come. Slowly, the fire started to burn her feet and crept up her legs. A number of women standing at a safe distance away, watching the indescribable horror of how some peoples lives were coming to their ultimate end, heard the shrills and cry of the likes of Esther and they burst into uncontrollable tears. The shrills and the screams only lasted for a little while, then they went down one after the other until there was silence. The kind of perfect silence that is meant to be forever. In the case of Esther, she gave up the ghost long before many others in the fire. By the time the fire caught the rest of her body, she was long gone.

In her entire history, she never hurt a fly. Instead, she was the one that was hurt repeatedly by people. She stayed focused and diligent because she believed a good future would help put all her pains behind her. At exactly the moment she screamed and cried for help in that fire, her interviewers were preparing her letter of appointment back in their office which was a few kilometers from the motor park. How could she have known that she, along with many others, were going to be roasted alive that very day? Body count after the incident revealed that over sixty people died, and dozens where severely wounded, not counting the value of properties destroyed. Soon afterwards, Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the attack.

TV/MoviesRe: Why Are Nollywood Movies Always So Delusional? by Rogers210(m): 2:36pm On Dec 08, 2013
speedyboi: Hypocrisy!
Shallow thinking!
and more full this thread!

Of all things to criticize in the industry, this is what you think is important?

If you want to start criticizing delusional movies (leaving behind the fact that movies are not documentaries and not necessarily meant to be 'the real situation'), Hollywood movies and all other woods will come before Nollywood!

what will you say about;
A. -A single criminal defeating a battalion of well trained soldiers like say na ice-cream dem dey drink for army their whole life. Is that the situation in real life?
-In a movie like Olympus has fallen for instance; first part of the attack in white house, the Police or whoever were practically coming out of the building to be killed. I'm sure 'the grrreaat' american police force wouldn't be so dumb in real life, would they? undecided,
-Or in all action movies where lots of people could've taken the criminal at once, but they always prefer to go one by one... to be killed ofcourse - How realistic is that?

B. -And that sh/itty british movie titled slum dog millionaire where people in the slums can speak proper english. Is that the real situation in India?
-OR another unrealistic part: the real slum little boys they used in the beginning spoke Hindi; then the India little actors (who were obviously from middle/high class family in real life) they used when the boys grew up (like 11years kinda) suddenly started to speak proper English without attending school! How real is that anywhere in the world?
-OR the who wants to be a millionaire questions that were turning out as 'fate' BS. - please save me! And the cheap questions that were being asked sef: Infact, who wants to be a millionaire in Nigeria have asked the name of 3 musketeers as a first question before, but lo and behold, that was the ultimate question in the who wants to be a millionaire in our 'slumdog'. mtcheeeew...what A load of crap!

C. Or about anywhere apart from US, UK, Australia and likes being depicted as the worst place on earth in hollywood movies. No? Lemme tell you what a typical shallow minded person thinks about these countries due to 'HOLLYWOOD'
- Russia / Russians - Terrorist Nation
- Korea - Terrorist nation
- Africa - Jungle with people and animals whining and dining together (even though me wey they live here have never seen a wild animal in my life sef). Other times, Africa is a desert with no houses.
- And probably the first movie they will shoot in India, India is already being given the first impression of a slum! And another stereotype begins!
And incase you haven't noticed, almost every bad guy in American movies always have foreign accents!

C. And 'about accents of people who arrive from abroad' that people always complain about...the fact is their accents are as shitty as the ones foreign actors speak in movies about other countries (despite the 'language coach' they get). There's no movie where actors are expected to speak like another country that the people of the country didn't complain about the accents. Even british people complain about Charlize Theron's accent in the movie 'Snow White and Huntsman). That's just how it is; unless you've lived somewhere for a while, you can never have their accent! If na to say few words, then the language coaching might be effective.

Conclusion: Delusional stuffs is not limited to Nollywood! Infact, it is mean't to happen! Why? Because it is a movie! There are are better things to discuss improvement on. It's good to point out things like this, but you need to know, it's not a reason to bash any industry!
You got it all wrong. You need to read the post again.
