Op let me enlighten you a bit....

of all the security details Kumuyi has, u can't find one policeman there, he has his own special security that follow him everywhere.....the ones whipping people with koboko are the ones sent by the governor to pick him from the airport to wherever he was going...you can make your findings better...

and why won't that kind of person needs security personnel around..he started moving around with security the day he was robbed at new garage in Lagos Bariga...that was long ago sha....

and I personally had an experience when his convoy was held up in traffic for minutes in Lagos back then when I was in secondary school, you need to see how pedestrians flocked around his car when they found out it was him, even we the students were not left out and all he did was smile, waved and said "you students need to be in school"....not even his details chased us, though they came down to keep us away from the car....

was already scared as I was reading until when i checked the date......

but did this actually happened then the northerners are just too gullible... this issue will have been forgotten had it started in the west or south.....

hmmmm

little by little, they'll all be caught...big ups to the military forces...

samoks: Nigerians and blame game.......yes he's condemned internationally, but locally, which visible alternative(s) do we have? If the closest as rumours have it is Buhari/Tinubu, then I think we should just continue with GEJ. If APC is really serious about saving Nigeria, then they better come up with credible alternative other than those two names above.

Why would I vote a man who promises terror in the land if he loses and why would I vote a man who is milking Lagosians dry while imposing his family on everyone?

So let us stop throwing aspersions on the president, rather bring up credible alternatives who would do better than GEJ.

This is just my opinion, no insult intended.

as far as I'm concerned with the recent happenings in the country, the man is not fit to govern, has no leadership qualities, a very slow decision taker.....he gets tossed around easily....isn't it glaring that he doesn't even have power over his own house? how can a man govern 160million people if he cant control just ONE WOMAN!!! How many first ladies have you seen coming out and on air talking about governmental and political issues? how many? even state first ladies....we will only be punishing ourselves if we allow that man come back again...I will vote for whoever contest against him even if such is an underage.... but for GEJ?? I rather die than vote for him

he is such a disgrace to the menfolk... and has brought our exalted sit into disrepute......very saddening

If this man win the 2015 election then I will conclude that God is punishing Nigerians cuz I've not seen just ONE REASON why he should be reelected into office, not even for character, integrity or performance..... he is so woeful

they should start giving out bags of rice too......cuz Nigerians don't think, they want their share of the national cake urgently just like the super eagles

mizzthang: Awww...
so I should tell her to talk to talk to her brother and eem friend.... Say..

"broda, I'm in love with this dude,Whc levels na? Talk true oooo...weytin eem do?"

Emmm... that's not what I'm saying... what i feel the girl should do is to have a private chat with her brother on why he doesn't want to see her with the guy and hear what response she'll get, then chat up the guy in question telling him to speak up on what's going wrong between the two guys....and all what nots shaaa

Everyone dreams—every single night—and yet we
tend to know so little about our dreams. Where do
they come from? What do they mean? Can we
control them and should we try to interpret them?
We spoke to the dream experts to bring you nine
surprising facts about dreams. Read before
snoozing.
1. Dreaming can help you learn.
If you’re studying for a test or trying to learn a new
task, you might consider taking a nap or heading to
bed early rather than hovering over a textbook an
hour longer. Here’s why: When the brain dreams, it
helps you learn and solve problems, say
researchers at Harvard Medical School. In a study
that appeared in a recent issue of Current Biology ,
researchers report that dreams are the brain’s way
of processing, integrating and understanding new
information. To improve the quality of your sleep—
and your brain’s ability to learn—avoid noise in the
bedroom, such as the TV, which may negatively
impact the length and quality of dreams.
2. Just like men, women can have orgasms during
dreams.
Did you think only men experience this
phenomenon? Not true, says Barbara Bartlik, MD, a
psychiatrist and sex therapist in New York.
Warning, further reading may produce blushing:
“Women have orgasms during their sleep, just as
men do,” she says. “These orgasms often
accompany erotic dreams, but they also may occur
during dreams of a nonerotic nature.” When women
dream, she says, it’s not uncommon for their
genitals to become engorged and lubricated. “This
occurs during REM sleep, which happens several
times during the night,” she says. A similar thing
happens to men. “Men get erections during REM
sleep, whether or not the man is having an erotic
dream.”
3. The most common dream? Your spouse is
cheating.
If you’ve ever woken up in a cold sweat after
dreaming about your husband’s extramarital
escapade with your best friend, you’re not alone,
says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, a dream expert,
author and media personality. “The most commonly
reported dream is the one where your mate is
cheating,” she says. Loewenberg conducted a
survey of more than 5,000 people, and found that
the infidelity dream is the nightmare that haunts
most people—sometimes on a recurring basis. It
rarely has anything to do with an actual affair, she
explains, but rather the common and universal fear
of being wronged or left alone.
4. You can have several—even a dozen—dreams in
one night.
It’s not just one dream per night, but rather dozens
of them, say experts—you just may not remember
them all. “We dream every 90 minutes throughout
the night, with each cycle of dreaming being longer
than the previous,” explains Loewenberg. “The first
dream of the night is about 5 minutes long and the
last dream you have before awakening can be 45
minutes to an hour long.” It is estimated that most
people have more than 100,000 dreams in a
lifetime.
5. You can linger in a dream after waking.
Have you ever woken up from such a beautiful,
perfect dream that you wished you could go back to
sleep to soak it all up (you know, the dream about
George Clooney?)? You can! Just lie still—don’t
move a muscle—and you can remain in a semi-
dreamlike state for a few minutes. “The best way to
remember your dreams is to simply stay put when
you wake up,” says Loewenberg. “Remain in the
position you woke up in, because that is the position
you were dreaming in. When you move your body,
you disconnect yourself from the dream you were
just in seconds ago.”
6. Even bizarre dreams can be interpreted.
While it can be hard to believe that an oddball dream
about your mother, a circus and a snowstorm can
have any bearing on real life, there may be
symbolism and potential meaning to be mined in
every dream—you just have to look for it, says
Harvard-trained psychotherapist Jeffrey Sumber.
“The meaning of our dreams oftentimes relates to
things we are needing to understand about
ourselves and the world around us,” he says.
Instead of shrugging off strange dreams, think about
how they make you feel. “We tend to dismiss these
dreams due to the strange components, yet it is the
feeling we have in these dreams that matters
most,” he explains. “Sometimes the circus and the
snowstorm are just fillers that allow us to process
the range of emotions we feel about our mother and
give us the necessary distraction so we can
actually experience that spectrum of emotion.”
7. Recurring dreams may be your mind’s way of
telling you something.
Do you have the same nightmare over and over
again? Loewenberg suggests looking for underlying
messages in recurring dreams so that you can rid
yourself of them. For example, a common recurring
nightmare people have involves losing or cracking
their teeth. For this dream, she recommends that
people think about what your teeth and your mouth
represent. “To the dreaming mind, your teeth, as
well as any part of your mouth, are symbolic of your
words,” she says. “Paying attention to your teeth
dreams helps you to monitor and improve the way
you communicate.”
8. You can control your dreams.
The premise of the new movie Inception is that
people can take the reins of their dreams and make
them what they want them to be. But it may not just
be a Hollywood fantasy. According to the results of
a new survey of 3,000 people, dream control, or
“lucid dreaming” may be a real thing. In fact, 64.9
percent of participants reported being aware they
were dreaming within a dream, and 34 percent said
they can sometimes control what happens in their
dreams. Taking charge of the content of your
dreams isn’t a skill everyone has, but it can be
developed, says Kelly Bulkeley , PhD, a dream
researcher and visiting scholar at the Graduate
Theological Union in Berkley, California. The
technique is particularly useful for people who
suffer from recurring nightmares, he says. Dr.
Bulkeley suggests giving yourself a pep talk of
sorts before you go to sleep by saying: “If I have
that dream again, I’m going to try to remember
that’s it’s only a dream, and be aware of that.”
When you learn to be aware that you are dreaming
—within a dream—you not only have the power to
steer yourself away from the monster and into the
arms of Brad Pitt, for instance, but you train your
mind to avoid nightmares in the first place. “Lucid
dreaming enhances your ability to learn from the
dream state,” says Dr. Bulkeley.
9. You don’t have to be asleep to dream.
Turns out, you can dream at your desk at work, in
the car, even at your kid’s soccer game. Wakeful
dreaming—not to be confused with daydreaming—is
real and somewhat easy to do, says Dr. Bulkeley; it
just involves tapping into your active imagination.
The first step is to think about a recent dream you
had (preferably a good one!). “Find a quiet
contemplative place and bring a dream that you
remember back into your waking awareness and let
it unfold,” he says. “Let the dream re-energize.”
Wakeful dreaming can be used as a relaxation tool,
but Dr. Bulkeley says it can also help your mind
process a puzzling dream. “It creates a more fluid
interaction between unconscious parts of the mind
and wakeful parts of the mind,” he says.

lolz... guys are just too overprotective of their sisters...when he should've called the girl and lecture her about the guy then leave her to make her choice.....

I remember when this happened to me, I called the two of them together and asked if they are serious about what they are about venturing into and they said yes....I looked at them and said if any of them act stupid, I'll deal with that person very well..

didn't hear of any hish before the guy passed on in South Africa

God is just sooo gentle... when he should've strike the said pastor

there is no length of blasphemy these devilish people won't go to provoke God to anger.....

to me, sex during fasting is only for MARRIED couples and not just some couple.

proudlyAfrica: but guys joke apart...these things seemed to confirm what i saw in the dream two months ago...i dat dream GEJ said he would not contest rather propped-up a Northerner as the president also in another development, i saw the Gov. Of Kano been assesinated blood all over the place,,,mmmh may God protect us all!

maybe u nid to open a church

please I'm sorry o, I just saw rule 21 now and I admit I'm wrong... forgive ooo.... I joined nairaland about 5days ago ooo, still a newbie here o

fankasibe: @OP (smada13).
I wish to make your thread a front page material but you have crossed the boundaries of the forum ethics.
Read the rules.

hahaaaa.....what did I do wrong ooo?? I've tried to be civil and kept my head despite d provocation na? check my comments and see now. by the way, that front page don't have much news now....

V/Kasparov:
Waw! The first Regular Combatant to be appointed as the NYSC Director General. Things will definately change for the better. The New DG should pursue the improvement of the Condition of Service for NYSC Staffs with vigour coz those guys are not finding it easy at all.

abi, corpers will start using AKs and Pump actions..... *winks

moufan: @op,with ur level of education(u said you are a corper ), am really surprised at ur level of ignorance and bias,if in this twenty first century you still believe in the number of *evil spirits* someone has, am sorry for you.
you wrote about preaching to students at ur ppa, that's absurd, you are there to teach not preach.you wrote about the women being promiscuous,how the hell did you know that. for ur information islam totally rejects promiscuity and Islam teaches tolerance.

you've talk now o shey??.... if I av to react to this your silly talk ehn, u won't like urself at all.

if u don't know that evil spirits stays inside humans, know now... and clear ur illiteracy, even the bible gave an account of events that confirm it.

see silly question, may be u nid to come down here and see for urself. I said it and will say it again that most of their females are promiscuous and I agree that Islam is against it and preaches tolerance, then definitely, a handful of them are not true Muslims

the fact that I was sent to teach there doesn't mean I shouldn't enlighten them about what they don't know, if u are against that, send boko guys to come and kill me

will love to serve u in ur own delicacy but I won't for the sake of God....

Yeah ryt.. unbiased my foot

warefa

Capt. JH Miller:
How do you expect this thrash to make front page?
So bias views...


I spent months in PH town not village o, abuloma for those of u that know what I an saying, and I had no mosque close by.. only time u went to mosque was fridays and I had to take a cab to far away mother-cat..

You can imagine what will happen to someone that will decide to build a mosque there, for the reason why it has not being build was cz they refused them.. so I heard, the rented room they used, they drove them out of it.
Promiscuity is everywhere, even Reverend are found to molest kids, does the religion ask them to do that? NO!!
So stop confusing people's personal judgement with a religion..

I refuse to comment on the spirit.

What is biased about it Mr. Captain? We all are entitled to our views and opinions, if you are not pleased with it pls move on abeg.. I'm not against any religion and can never be cuz I cant create one... I just aired my view on wat I encountered. "they that come to equity must come with clean hands" abi how do they say it? wish u can come here to see for yourself..where girls will put on a very long hijab with nothing underneath... every religion has it's shortcoming buh this one is too much. they claim to be right but are so much on the wrong track....

I'm sure the mods will dissapoint you by taking it to the front page.

and as for the spirits, why couldn't they cast it out....why begging the spirits to leave? I pity them, lost people.

nadis92: odiegwu i have always wanted to encounter ''them''

lolzzz... you'll so much enjoy it and you'll never remain the same again

sammer4life: I dey here ...... incase they take us to frontpage

lollzzz....mods abeg naa

nadis92: Africans and Delusion of spirits... Smh nice piece anyway

delusion I pray u av an encounter someday...... tnx sha

I'm a 2013 batch A corp member posted to Kaiama, Kwara state. Will love to share the experiences I had there to you people in here.. There are some aspects I'll keep away till after POP to avoid stories that touch and by the way, the NYSC act does not permit me to speak.

Kaiama is a very nice place, the environment (physical) is so conducive, food stuffs are relatively cheap, accommodation is cheap too, all in all, the cost of living is low and the standard of living is not bad if you know your way. In the midst of these, that community has so many negatives which i'll state out here.

Firstly, the people of Kaiama are baruba speaking people and are Muslims, rarely will you see a baruba Christian. The sad thing about religion there is that their is so much discrimination against Christians in so much that they wouldn't buy a pure water sachet produced by a christian even if it's the best around. Churches there are situated at the outskirts of the community far away from the indigenes, you will be attacked if you dare try to convert any indigene. I remember the day I tried teaching them about Jesus in one of the classes at my PPA, I was challenged and almost beaten by one huge student, wat saved the day was my being a Corper and I have loyal students around.. that is not to say that there are no persons that tolerate Christianity, of course there are so many people who do, like my principal and some teachers. I want to believe their imams often teach tell them in the Quranic schools that Christians are going to hell. that's all for now about that.

Secondly, Kaiama is a land of evil spirits, that place is an headquarter of spirits and those spirits reside in 45% of their girls and also live in the mountains and trees. the girl with the least spirit will have about four. what saddens me about this is that once the spirits start disturbing the girls, their mallams often resort to begging the spirits to leave the girl in question and they prefer to allow the girl to die instead of being delivered by one of the churches. I remember a corper friend that was beaten in his sleep for unknown reasons, I myself often feel a spiritual presence in my room at the lodge till God gave the antidote. pakam

Third, Despite the girls and women wearing hijabs, their level of promiscuity is second to none. Their is no girl that can be trusted once she starts growing "balls" in her chest except for some few that have good home training. A man with one wife is known to be poor except if such can his richness physically. Even some that have one wives in their houses have concubines to the extent married women too have concubines. The level of promiscuity there is visible in the life of the animals where about four he-goats will be chasing a she-goat, same goes to the cocks n hen. You'll rarely see a she-goat that is not pregnant except if such is immature, even at that, she will still be chased, the little he-goats too are not left out in the chasing.

Fourthly, exam malpractices there is as high as the highest mountain in the world, if you want to pass your WAEC, GCE, NABTEB, JAMB...pls go there. They will ALWAYS write the answers on the board for you, that's why most of them don't value education. iyen naa ti to.

Fifth, NYSC can NEVER be scrapped, NEVER. A greater number of their teachers can't speak good English, not even the English teachers and the Literature in English teachers too. Some teachers teach rubbish, absolute JARGONS! It's the few intelligent corpers take it upon themselves to teach the students, especially those that are ready to learn (though there are some corp members that are so embarrassing and disappointing).

Sixth, the road from Ilorin to Kaiama is so so bad, especially from Kisi to Kaiama. The road is so bad that you will have to think through before embarking on any journey. I'm finding it hard to pick an adjective or sentence to explain the sorry state of that road, it is that bad. if you wear a white clothing and pass through that road, it will turn brown in less than 2hrs. The day our new state coordinator came on a visit, he vowed never to come to Kaiama again until when the government construct the road, he had to congratulate we the corpers there, in fact, our LGI tag passing through that road "a punishment".

hmmm..gotta put my writings on hold here.......I hope it makes front page so I'll write the part two cuz it's my first ever thread, I joined nairaland few days ago though I've been reading updates n comments for about 5yrs.

Thanks mod...
