[quote author=Mrs..Chima]Do you carry a picture of your partner or spouse? Back in the day.....some people used to carry color photo in the wallet or in their book bag. With the rise of technological gadgets...people have photos of their love ones on their phone or computer.

A friend of mine called me and told me that she was using her husband's phone and realized there is NO PICTURE of her on his phone. I asked her do she have any photos of him on her phone...she responded yes. The reason I asked the question was to see if she isn't being hypocritical.

She went on and on about how upset she felt and betrayed. I might be missing the point...but I don't see why she should be upset about her husband not having a photo on his phone. I mean I wouldn't see an issue with someone having picture of their loved ones...but is it important?

Personally...I wouldn't care if my husband doesn't have a photo of me on his phone because it doesn't change the price of garri.

Your thoughts?[/quote]Sure! it doesn't change the price of garri one bit. What a smart way of keeping the garri crew of your thread. Nice one.

Dignitary: My God!!! Can we exchange this Alu village for bakassi?

If this girl had probed further ,I'm sure they would have labelled her as their sponsor ...and prob burnt her too!!!

Way forward: D policemen on duty that day shud b queried...the ones that went to the scene and later left MUST be dismissed.

Again, has the so called ' debtor' been arrested?

Haba! did I hear you say dismissed? Those devils should be castrated and have theirs balls fed to the dogs before being taken to the public square to face the hangman. Just for lack of a more severe punishment.

miky: Stfu with all these fake chrisitIan ish... Nigerians claim Christianity so much but the place seems like the devils play ground.. What part of non premeditated don't u get? She didn't plan this... She was having a nice drink in her house, lady sent hubby over because she forgot stuff.. Dude came relax and drank, and shit happened and u blaming her? Lol..

No, I should blame it on me. Abi? She should never have allowed her punny to take charge. Stop being a monkey, please.

You fvcked her husband. Now you want to break their marriage. You better pray for God's forgiveness and leave this family alone. You don't come across as a woman who has a man in her life. You better look for your own husband now and stop fornicating all over the place. May God have mercy on you.

redsun: They make good pictures to deceive gullible nigerias who thinks "big men" cant be wet.They are photo tricks for impending elections to continue the looting.If they can use just fifty percent of the people's resoursces to develop infrastructures in nigeria,floods wont be that bad in nigeria,especially in non coastal areas.

Nigeria is a place where most towns and cities dont have defined drainages and flood channels,yet they expect flood to just channel its way quietly and harmlessly,without set courses.Water is not Einstein,you know.

That is exactly my point. Where are the drainage? How ready is our environment?

braine: Has it occurred to you that it may be a genuine show of affection?

No, sir. Do you blame me for trusting these guys?

See as this guy dey form 'man-of-the-people', chei.

Kogi gov. What is he doing in those waters, really?

Are they surprise or what?

osho baba no dey carry last

See them

Do these guys really care? Would they ever care? I have this funny feeling that it is just a wash. What is your take?

The killing of students of Federal Polytechnic Mubi at Yelwan Tsamiya (an off campus accommodation area) in Wuro Patuji area of Mubi North Local Government of Adamawa state, has caused an exodus from the town by both students and staff of the institution.

A lecturer from the school on condition of anonymity told Daily Trust on phone that he learnt that about 40 bodies had been deposited at Mubi General Hospital Mortuary.

Some of the fleeing lecturers of the polytechnic, who are not authorised to speak for the school, told Daily Trust that they saw, at least, 10 truckloads of soldiers and mobile police men moving in to the troubled North-Eastern town.

After the killings, which were said to have been carried out around 10pm by gunmen that stormed the students’ village in Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), angry students stormed the school carrying leaves and branches in protest, stopping the second semester exams that was schedule to take place today.

Some of the students were said to have converged at the resident of the rector of the school with their luggage as early as 7am.

As a result of the mass movement of people from the town, the vehicles in the town’s motor park have been exhausted, with those not lucky to board the polytechnic’s buses ferrying people to Mararaba area, trekking the 15-20 kilometres distance to get vehicles that will move them out of the town.

The BBC had earlier reported that, “at least 20 students have been shot dead by unknown gunmen in Mubi, north-eastern Nigeria,” a police source has told the BBC.

“The attack happened at a student hostel away from the Federal Polytechnic Mubi campus,” the source said.

A lecturer told the BBC that more than 40 students had been killed but there has been no official comment.

The reported killing comes days after a major operation against the Boko Haram militant group in the town.

The lecturer, who did not want his name to be used, told the BBC's Hausa service that the students were asked to say their names after lining up.

He says it is not clear why some were killed and others spared - some of those killed were Muslims.

“Everybody is scared and staying indoors now,” he said.

He added that students were now leaving the town, many with tree branches over their cars- a traditional sign of neutrality in Nigeria.

Mubi is in Adamawa state, which has a mixed Muslim and Christian population and borders Borno state, where Boko Haram came to prominence in 2009, staging an uprising in the state capital, Maiduguri.

Boko Haram has not yet commented on the Mubi attacks.

It is fighting to establish Islamic law in Nigeria and has killed more than 1,000 people in numerous attacks across northern and central areas this year.

About 1000 female Nigerian pilgrims are still detained by Saudi authorities even as the two countries are still involved in “high level diplomatic talks” to resolve the impasse, Daily Trust learnt last night.


However, high level sources hinted last night that the federal government is trying to sort out the issue through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, even as the House of Representatives resolved yesterday to probe the issue.



“A letter signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs has already been delivered to the Saudi authorities over the issue. We don’t know whether they will accept it,” the source who is involved with the issue told Daily Trust last night.

Investigations revealed that apart from the initial 400 pilgrims who arrived at the holy land on board flight 17 last Sunday, 600 additional female pilgrims on flights 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, from Katsina, Kano and Zamfara states were also detained at the airport on arrival.

The female pilgrims were detained on arrival when they couldn’t produce individual maharram, that is, the approved male companion accompanying them on the trip, usually a husband, father or brother, demanded by the Saudis.

But the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON)’s Commissioner of Operations, Alhaji Muhammad Abdullahi Mukhtar told our reporter yesterday that the it is not true that the pilgrims couldn’t produce muharram. He said the State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Boards (SMPWB) “qualify and identify as muharram of female pilgrims. And that has been the case for so many decades.”

He said that the situation is so confusing that “the Saudis randomly select flights to screen and detain.”

“All the 10 flights that landed in Medina were allowed into the country without any incidence. Also, flights 23, 24 and 25 were not touched at all,” he said.

Mukhtar wondered why only Nigerian pilgrims were selected for this treatment by the Saudi authorities. “In fact, there is no such issue in the memorandum of understanding signed between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia,” he said.

He said that it was not true that the first two Max air flights conveying Sokoto and Jigawa pilgrims on Sunday “were intercepted because only women were aboard.”

“Look at the manifest, all our flights carry both men and women,” he said.

Another top official said that the Saudis’ action is uncalled for because the fear of pilgrims refusing to come back home is no longer tenable.

“Since the introduction of e-passport by NAHCON adequately addressed the cases of pilgrims staying back in the holy land. In 2011, only 20 pilgrims absconded.

When did you see Saudi plane landing in Nigeria with deportees? The situation has been drastically addressed,” he said.

Reports indicate also that the pilgrims are being detained in deplorable condition. One of the detained pilgrims, Bilkisu Nasidi, who spoke to the BBC Focus on Africa programme on Monday, said that the women were being held in “terrible condition.”

She said there were about 400 of them (as at Monday) and they were being held in very unsuitable circumstance. She said they had been sleeping on the floor for three days, and an average of 200 women share four toilets.

She denied that all of them were without Maharram or guardian and that some of such guardians have opted not to leave the airport in order to give them some comfort.

“If they don’t want us to go into Saudi Arabia let them take us home, we are tired,” Bilkisu Nasidi said.

The Nigerian Consul in Jeddah, Ambassador Abdullahi Umar had told BBC Hausa Service on Monday that the Nigerian officials had been providing food and toiletries for the detained pilgrims, adding that a formal letter had been delivered to the Saudis and the issue was being taken up with the Governor of Makkah region, who would decide on the matter.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives yesterday commenced an investigation into the circumstance leading to the detention of the women whose number has now risen to about 1000 by the Saudi Arabian authorities in Jeddah.

Adopting a motion on matter of urgent national importance sponsored by Deputy Minority Leader Rep. Suleiman Kawu Sumaila (ANPP, Kano), the House mandated its Committee on Foreign Affairs to interface with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and report back today.

In his motion, Sumaila expressed shock that the affected pilgrims were people who applied for Saudi Arabian visas, and were approved by its embassy without such rules made known to them.
He said that the action of the Saudi authorities negated the long standing understanding between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia on Hajj performance.

Also, Rep. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje (PDP,Abia) who chairs the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said her committee was interfacing with officials of the foreign ministry to secure pilgrims release.

However, Rep. Alhassan Ado Doguwa (PDP, Kano) blamed the Nigerian ambassador to Saudi Arabia for treating the issue with laxity by claiming that “he is on top of the situation” whereas “it is the situation that is on top of him.”

Meanwhile a Saudi embassy official in Abuja told Daily Trust in confidence last night that officials of the two countries were making diplomatic efforts to sort out the matter and they will address the press when the matter is settled.

OP: "I had to trek from Iponrin to Ajose Adeogun to meet him."
.

The "I had no shoes,I sold firewood or I hawk tomato to go to school" lines seems to have been exhausted. Now this chap is talking about trekking from Iponri to VI. Must every success story be padded? Good for him though.

Nigeria = Indescribable.

Today is the supposed launch day for her website and it looks like that is not gonna happen without glitches. Errors are already showing their ugly heads. When will these people learn to consult professionals?

What is it with our girls and food? I recommend 3 hours a day at the gym.

I couldn't confirm it from their website. Currently, that position is occupied by someone else.

Are those white girls the best in class or just some low hanging fruits he could gather around street corners?

Tadup: Yes. Muhammad(S.A.W) is the true last messenger of Allah . You christians claimed that jesus died for you guys but my question is can you die for jesus?

No! Don't be stupid. The whole idea is to live and emulate Jesus (That's why we haven't nuke you all). Not to die for him in return.

He is so carried away with the idea of being the father of that little fine boy that he isn't even thinking of unraveling the true identity of the kid. Monkey no dey born pussycat. I hereby prescribe/recommend a DNA test jare.

And what kinda woman are you that you've have completely failed in your responsibility of modernizing this man of yours after good 3 years together? You simply lack that female charm. My current GF can turn even GEJ into the most sophisticated romeo that ever grace the planet. Go work on your charm,woman. Every woman is blessed with one.

Gunmen attacked the lodge of the Redeemed Christian Corpers Fellowship early yesterday in Jalingo, Taraba state capital .

The bandits who stormed the Family House of the Redeemed Christian Corpers Fellowship (RCCF) held the parishoners hostage for hours after relieving them of hundreds of thousands of dollars and other valuables.

The gunmen gained entrance into the Corpers lodge from a toilet in the female wing of the building. They carted off three laptops, about 24 mobile phones and thousands of naira.

“We were about 20 corpers in the lodge when it happened," recalled a church member. All our phones were taken away, some of us had two, three phones. Our monthly feeding allowance which we contributed to was also taken away by the evil men.”

A fellowship member who asked that his name not be used in print said: “We were sleeping when some men came in holding all sort of dangerous weapons but we never resisted them, we obeyed their orders because we were in great fear. They asked us our state of origin and religion and threatened to behead us if we misbehaved. ”

RCCF president Banji Omogbehin said "the bandits were asking us for our state of origin, threatening to rape our ladies and behead us." A motive for the attack is unknown.

DAMATURU- Barely 24 hours after torching 15 masts of four Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) firms in Borno state violence however, spread to neighbouring Yobe state, setting ablaze the service-base masts of Airtel, Glo and Etisalat in Potiskum and Damaturu, with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and petrol-bombs in the early hours of Thursday.

Besides the torching of GSM masts, the gunmen, suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect, killed 16 people, including the Yobe state government protocol officer, Mallam Adamu, while returning from his duty post at the Government House, Damaturu.

kay9: Op take a chill pill jor. Oya talk true, which would u rather have: garri or cerelac?

None of the two you mentioned. I am fine with golden morn though.

NeuroBoss: Mr man, though I'm tempted, I'll condescend so low as to use the same vulgar language as did you. Oh, you think you had the monopoly hun? When will people understand that we cannot all reason the same way? Or you think people are still at the low level of exposure and education you have? Different strokes for different folks,that's what life is all about. Your Lordship, Seun irked me with his peurile warnings or what did he take us to be? Kids? Nairaland is just a pastime and my life is outside of it and that's why I laugh when I read his "that will earn you a ban" threat. As Yorubas will say, "Nnkan l'adìyé n je kí àgbàdo tódáyé" (Before the existence of corn, na something fowls dey chop)

...very typical of a garri addict.

diluminati: The op must be a low life. But how does it affect you? Isnt this a public forum? Travel online to other countries and see how other public forums behave then you'll keep your mouth shut.

Bittch! That's all I can tell you.
