Thank God for their lives. My uncle once killed robbers along along okigwe road, year back. He said that she the idiot pulled out the pistol, corked it and was raising it to his head while standing in front of his bus. He just unmatched the brake and ran through the fucker. The rest pulled out motorbike from bush and took after their bus. He was speeding very fast until he got to a gully pothole on the road, he matched the bake steadily with the steering stronlgy held.

The robbers too who were already at the tail of the bus all crashed at the back of the bus. He said that they heard them screaming "my legs are cut" while they sped off. Passengers after they got to the park contributed money for him in appreciation.

your Uncle deserve a medal.

Rubbish!

God protection is the ONLY sure protection in life without deceit or condition. The disgusting thing is how they allowed underage to be watching them, they are sending signal to underage to join cults or become touts who will later under probability turn out to become wayward individual terrorising the society..Those adults should be flogged or better send them to sambisa forest to slug it out with bokoharam to confirm if their juju work or not

The cities with the worst traffic congestion have been revealed by TomTom in its 2018 Traffic Index.

The report, gathered from across 403 cities in 56 countries, found that Mumbai in India has the highest congestion levels in the world. Here, commuters spend an average of 65 per cent extra travel time stuck in traffic.

The Colombian capital of Bogota follows with 63 per cent congestion. Lima, the capital of Peru, comes third with 58 per cent.

Here are the 15 cities with the worst traffic in the world:

Despite the increase in traffic congestion across the world, Ralf-Peter Schäfer, TomTom's VP of Traffic information, remains hopeful.


According to him, TomTom is "working towards a future where vehicles are electric, shared and autonomous so that our future really is free of congestion and emissions. We have the technology to make this future happen - but it takes a collaborative effort. From road authorities to governments; car makers to car drivers, we all have a part to play."

Lagos state is missing

One noticeable absentee from this list is Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. It is notorious for its congestion which has Lagosians spending hours in traffic on a daily basis.

One reason for this is the fact that the population is currently hovering between 9,013,534 according to the 2006 National Population Commission census and over 22,553,924 according to claims by the state government.

A contributing factor is a surge in the number of private vehicles combined with the bad roads and the state's inadequate transport system. These four factors making Lagos roads a nightmare to motorists.

This explains why Lagos was ranked as one of the worst places to live in the world last year.

According to Mercer, the largest human resources consulting firm in the world, the megacity has the worst quality of living in 2018.

In the annual ranking, Lagos ranked low (212), followed by Durban (89) which is the second African city on the list.

Nobody is disputing Yoruba population in diaspora it is how they ended up there.

It not about how they ended up there as other tribes or ethnic groups also ended up in different Countries.

It is all about influence and how you make the best use of your situation and where you find yourself.

The Yorubas won't be worthy of mention or respected if we keep beefing everyone around us at every slight opportunity or fighting all the time over things that can be resolved amicably.

We don't compete but do whatever is necessary for our survival.

If you see and treat us as your friend we will reciprocate but if not the same applies.

Watch this page
Edit
The Military history of Cuba begins with the island's conquest by the Spanish and its battles afterward to gain its independence. Since the Communist takeover by Fidel Castro in 1959, Cuba has been involved with many major conflicts of the Cold War in Africa and Latin America where it had supported Marxist governments and rebels from liberation movements who were opposed to their colonial masters and/or allies of the United States.

Bay of Pigs Invasion
Edit
Main article: Bay of Pigs Invasion
The Bay of Pigs Invasion (known as La Batalla de Girón in Cuba), was an unsuccessful attempt by a U.S.-trained force of Cuban exiles to invade southern Cuba with support from U.S. armed forces to overthrow the Cuban government of Fidel Castro. The plan was launched in April 1961, less than three months after John F. Kennedy assumed the presidency in the United States. The Cuban armed forces, trained and equipped by Eastern Bloc nations, defeated the exile combatants in three days. Bad Cuban-American relations were exacerbated the following year by the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Cuban Missile Crisis (October Crisis in Cuba) was a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over nuclear missiles that were deployed in Cuba and Turkey. The Russian missiles were placed both to protect Cuba from further attacks by the United States after the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, and in response to the U.S. deploying Thor missiles with nuclear warheads on the Soviet border in Turkey.

The situation reached the crisis point when U.S. reconnaissance imagery revealed Soviet nuclear missile installations on the island, and ended fourteen days later when the Americans and Soviets each agreed to dismantle their installations, and the Americans agreed not to invade Cuba again.

Congo Crisis
Edit
The Congo Crisis was a period of turmoil in the Congo that began with national independence from Belgium and ended with the seizing of power by Joseph Mobutu.
