The train started honking its horn by 7.13am. It jerked and started rolling.

I was disappointed when I got inside. The seats were dusty, very dusty. I wonder why they wouldn't have cleaners who would clean the inside at least after every trip the train undertakes.

Around 6.51am, a woman came and announced we could start boarding. We ambled down and started entering the train.

Soon people started ambling towards the train and a young man announced no one should enter the train.

It was 7.39am and we stood, waiting. The train also stood, waiting.

I got here finally by 6.35am. I saw people sitting around some concrete slabs in front of the station building. The environment had a tint of travel all around.
I expected to see a large crowd at the area where I was shown to be the ticketing area, but I kept seeing passengers loitering around. My heart skipped a beat once more. I thought I had missed it. I stopped to ask an old man quarrelling with a woman, subtly though. He seemed to be a worker, a security man or so, while the woman was obviously a passenger, from her words.
"Because I help you open the gate abi?" She said grudgingly while heading to the ticketing office.
"Good morning sir" I greeted the man. I didn't wait for him to respond before I asked: "tickets are still on sale?"
"Go that side" he said, pointing towards the office.
I relaxed.
At the office, a fat man stood before the ticketing point, I waited behind him.
"First class still available?" I asked the lady.
"Sorry sir" she said with a low tone."we are using the first class to launch today, so, it's only the second class that's available today".
"Whoosh!" I said. Should I have still come? I came to board the first class coach. I was disappointed, but I have come. I paid her N650 and was given the ticket below.

Yes, its an insect but ℓ̊ don't know †ђξ name in english not †̥ talk of knowing ΐτ̅ in ♍γ̲̣̣̥ dialect,, ΐτ̅ could also βε̲̣̣̣̥ found in dusty corners of †ђξ room.

Maybe you should ask elders in your village.

It is found on walls. You think it's stationary, but no, something lives inside and drags that big body along sometimes; I've caught it moving a number of times. Although it could spend a long time on seemingly one spot.

I don't know what it is called in English language. But in my dialect, it is called [I]osu l'obo[/I].

So, tell us the English namename (if you know it), and perhaps what it is called in your local dialect (if you even know what the insect is).

Why did they show us the picture of the innocent girl instead of that of the useless old fool?

I only scrolled this far to type what you type. Let me repeat it for emphasis.
Why on earth will the writer hold back the accused picture and only display the victim's? Shabby journalism.

The point is not to owe above your income in the 1st place...... You want a 100k phone, for instance and you earn 40k per month (it's dumb anyways to earn that and want that), the smarter thing to do is to make instalmental payments (e.g 10k for 10months) and pick up the phone after completion... That way you don't owe, someone owe you!

The smartest is to get a phone with similar specifications at a lower cost, within your income bracket! After all the chinkos have made that feat easier... Lolz

Pally, paying four times before you pick up the item still means payment by installments, OP says it should be avoided.

By all means, Live below your means

I do not quite agree with No's. 5 & 8

5. Breaking Up Payments Into
Installments.
If for any reason you are indebted to the tune of 100k and your monthly earning is 40k. What do you do? Pay with blood so as to avoid payment by installments? In fact, the tinier you are allowed to break the installments, the more convenient, unless if unpaid balance attracts charges.

8. Using ATMs Outside Your Network
If what you mean by this the use of other banks' ATM, then you might as well advise against the use of ATM in the first place. ATM is for some kind of emergency. What if this emergency arises where you bank's ATM does not exist, what do you do? You wait? Or keep searching? You may not be able to afford that luxury at the time.

Police with their madness... I hate police!!!

Police is your friend.

Emeka Anyaoku spelling out the 'Abuja Accord'

She should just settle herself with her boyfriend with the loot, no more financial burden of any sort on her parents. Foolish girl.

Cursed be bad temper.
But the wife should have known her husband by now to obey him fully. It's possible the call was from...

Most drivers in Port Harcourt are always 'right'. Crazy!

Strange and bad news everywhere. People would stop travelling? No way! If the plane does not crash, it is hijacked. If it is not hijacked, it is shot down by terrorists/rebel forces. If it is not shot down, it crashes on its own. If it doesn't crash, it disappears.
The truth is, no place is entirely safe. Soon, the rich will want to appear poor, will stop oppressing the poor, just to escape some danger.
The best thing for every man to do now is to be prepared to die (for he who is down fears no fall), we all need to take our destinies in our hands.

Do I have re-read the article to see where it talks about "unpaid debt" as announced?

The man did not do well, but the woman did terrible too for holding his private part.
