this is a very...very...very old picture...how its good enuf for a thread and a front page can only be explained by the mods. i posted this pix on my blog mid last year...

one question...did the government give consideration of accessibility to Lagosians?..i doubt that and not surprised though. That is rather typical of the fashola government- sacrificing the people's comfort to make his office look more organised...msshhhew!

I dnt tink the research is accurate. Investment bankers don't averagely earn more dan commercial or retail bankers. Bankers earn more dan dat figure quoted 4 investmnt banking

Is it tiled? Can I pay a year and half?

The alarm bells rang in my head like a 10.0 magnitude earthquake.

Noticing the puzzled expression in my face, he said calmly, “just relax, I‘ll shower and join you now so we can discuss about the burial”.

With that, he dashed upstairs and Joseph, my uncle’s wife’s cousin, who I had not seen since I arrived, appeared from a room upstairs, asked if I was ready to have my dinner to which I replied in the negative. He then collected my bag and showed me a room downstairs where I would be passing the night.

There had been previously occasions where I had ‘squatted’ with some of my friends who had lodged in 2 or 3 star hotels, but none was as clean and well prepared as this room. Even the towel kept in the bathroom was new. With the knowledge Uncle Emmanuel would not be sharing the same room with me; I mentally became relaxed and free.

With no change of clothing, I resisted the urge to enter the bathtub; I would have had to reappear and discuss with Uncle Emmanuel scantily clad. I quickly had a pee and went out to await Uncle Emmanuel.

He came downstairs and signaled that I join him at the dining table. He asked why I was not eating and I replied that the meal I had taken earlier in the afternoon was still filling. I unconsciously took in his appearance and noticed that he didn’t look bad. He was in a simple track shorts and brown T-shirt and smelt of expensive cologne.

“Snap out of it!” my brain told another part of my brain. Luckily, Uncle Emmanuel’s next question did just that;

“So have you done your calculations or do you have a budget?” he asked.

“Yes I do”. Then I produced a piece of paper I had reworked to reflect N500, 000 in the face of ‘new developments’ (yimu).

He didn’t look too surprised and quietly went through the list before him. My silent prayer was interrupted by the sporadic beatings of my heart.



After about 2- 3 minutes of glancing through the list and asking one or two questions for clarification, he dropped the list on the table and continued eating. Then he called Joseph to bring his bag.

He muttered to me about not having so much at that time and wrote me a cheque of N400, 000!

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I collected the cheque and expressed gratitude. My mind immediately went on overdrive calculating how I would spend the extra N100, 000 once I had deducted the N300, 000 needed for the burial expenses. Perhaps I could even get an I-pad? (Alex will have to wait some more jo).

“Thank you Uncle! I can’t thank you enough”. I gushed.
“Don’t mention. Would have given you more if I could. Just remind me to call Bank tomorrow morning to confirm the cheque”.

After his meal, we sat and discussed over a glass of cognac about every topic possible. Initially, I was uncomfortable with some of his snide remarks and comments on issues I considered rather personal, (he asked about my relationships and sexual orientation) but as soon as the heavy alcohol in the wine started removing shreds of my inhibition, i started growing into the ‘flow’.

At a point I must have totally forgotten this was my uncle because when he asked me the last time I had sex, I replied without restraint;

“Been a while o…maybe 2 years” (where you all expecting I would say 6 months ago or that I would consider my rape as sex?).

‘Wow! I guess cobwebs must have started growing down there o’ He chuckled.

We both laughed and then descended on a long and loud silence whilst watching E! Entertainment TV. We both knew the direction the conversation was going and we both unconsciously knew that the next action would indicate the direction the night would end up (mind reading things). The wine must have perverted and twisted my mind so much that at that point, I stylishly started imagining my uncle in bed.

Rather bizarrely, it was at that point that it dawned on me that it had actually been a while I had a man touch me at the right places and made sweet love to me. It had been 6 months since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend and three months that I was raped and never since then had I felt as Hot as I felt at that point. (Could it have been instigated by the wine or the conversation?).

I felt like making love right there and then; or more like being screwed and banged hard. This may sound weird but ever since the rape incident, I had longed for a hard dick to bang and enter deep into me. Unfortunately, I was with the wrong company.

Out of the blues, my uncle stood up and said; “I have to go and sleep now, would you feel comfortable in your room or will you feel more comfortable sleeping over in my room?”

I wondered why he didn’t just say “let’s go and have sex”. I instantly got repulsed at the rather undiplomatic manner he asked for sex. At that point, my tipsiness gave way to a bout of common sense and reality. How would my aunt feel if she were to learn I slept in the same room with my uncle? The very idea repulsed me and I replied; “no uncle. I‘ll be fine. The room is comfortable”

“Ok o. Goodnight” he said reluctantly.

With that he went into his room whilst I retired into mine. It was already 12.45 am. One more glance at the cheque and I kept in carefully in my bag. I had a brief shower and tried to shake off the tipsiness and excitement and get some sleep. I had gradually started getting some sleep when I heard a knock on the door.

It was 1.30am.

wats the full package? cant they come down a bit?

can i pay for a year? and how did you reach your conclusion on the number of hours they have light? i want to pay immedioately. wats the full packge

Wats d full package?

Symphony007: That pic and how humiliating it is will make one think they committed some grave offence...only a stu*pid government bans rather than regulate exclusive material like porn, thereby striping people of their livelyhood.

my brother...you have spoken well. seems te Lagos Government just wants to prove they havea lawyer asgovernor. thequestion you ask is....where hose materials sold to minors? if not, why ban it or make tis people look like hardened criminals? i wish someone will just tell me the jobs or any poverty allevaiting action fashola has done. the guy keeps showing his evil side each day....

SniperInADiaper: Ayo no wogo

@SniperInADiaper... e

SniperInADiaper: Ayo no wogo

e be like say you still dey the dream...

SniperInADiaper: Are you mad?!? I would go to jail.

lmao...itsjust a dream...lets hear it jo

SniperInADiaper: My weirdest dreams are fantasies.

oya share na

Whilst some people are acting like political jobbers and saluting Fashola for 'cleansing Lagos' by jailing beggers,.. they fail to realise this whole issue arose because of the state's failure to provide social security. Shameless idiots in government!

is the flat at palmgroove still available?

do u have pics? how much is the full package?

is one yr acceptable? hw much is the full package?

alakori: I got the gold back from her. When she slapped me and my husband got there he wanted to beat her up but I begged him not to. I did this because tempers were raised, it was the mother that egged her on and I felt if he started to beat her it would degenerate into a fight between him and his Mom and I did not want that.

That being said, I have also informed my husband that I would not welcome her into my home anymore and we seem to have agreed on that.

The problem is that we are due to go to his place soon. The girl makes it a point of duty to greet me, emphasizing my first name. When I do not answer she and her Mum begin to quarell with me. I really feel the problem is with my mother-in-law who eggs are on, as per, if the mom is not around and she greets me with my first name and I ignore her, she go just waka pass. But if the Mom is around she will raise her voice shouting 'is it not you I am greeting'. From there the Mum will join in and shouting match

i am yoruba and i knw yorubas are a more respectful ethnic group. its wrong for her to call u rudely by your first name considering she is 7 yrs younger. Yoruba mums will not encourage that.


From what i can sense, you are not Ibo. if thats so...you should have anticipated the culture shock that comes with marrying from outside your ethnic group.

Personally, i think you should have let your husband accuse your sister ratherthan allow her insult you.


Wish you the best tho.

When I saw d topic, I even thot they caught obama straffing beyonce and dat they discovered blue ivy was obama's child....na dt one gan gan be scandal..mmmm

mapet: I'm not sure where to place you; despicable insect. I thought you will come with an arguement worth its salt and not something this stupid.

1. So to you because we paid low fees in the 80s and 90s, it will continue despite economic conditions and reality dictating otherwise? Your dull brain cannot process that even what 5naira could 500 may not buy today?
2. Are graduates of LASU working in multinational may be, but is "working in a multination the only objective an educational institution is supposed to fulfil" Even the CBN governor once lamented that Nigerian graduates are unemployable. Are we going to be using the state of a priviledge few or reflect the totality But for me, what you dull brain fail to get is University Education is not an absolute, neither is it the peak of success. We make it sound as if some people's lives are ended because they never made it to the university. We send in a crowd into a delabidated educational system, these people are subjected to the wrong side of what a true university education is supposed to be, we churn out multitude of graduates. These now join the abysmall numbers on the street in the rat race. They will not be able to stand the test of time.
3. While you're still at your "pay low school fees crusade", dummy, the world has moved on. I wonder what's the attraction where employers are now travel overseas to host career fairs and recruit graduands of foreign schools (US, UK, France etc), mind you these are fresh grads and virtually no experience. In the 90s, employers come to conduct interviews in Nigerian Universities and outstanding students are penned down for employment even before they graduate.
4. For me if we want to have a sound and qualitative educational system, then we have to pay the price.
5. Finally before God will repay Fashola and myself in our own coin, ask yourself some salient questions. Who in this corporate Nigeria can hold and sustain his present job based on your 1st degree certificate alone? How much did it cost us to write some of the professional exams? How much did it cost us to hold a quality Masters or MBA? So the notion of low fees will not get us anywhere as those that have sought value had paid the price

I can only conclude you are trying to weave an argument beyond your intellectual aptitude. let me tackle your arguments ad seriatim.

1. Your brain assumed that i schooled in he 80s or 90s. i didnt. i schooled between 2000 and 2006. i schooled in UI where my tution fee was 90naira till 2001 wen we had to start paying 10,000 for hostel fees. your brain also failed to calculatethat sincle inflatin had set in for government expenses, same inflation has affected the taxes they collect. perhaps ur brain cant tell you that the money the government generated back then has also increased. lemme break it down for u since your brain processor is outdated...the increase in "economic conditions and reality" has also affected how much the state generates in revenue. its a cycle.

2. mumu. wat then is the purpose of univ education if not to feed the economic workforce of a nation? if itfeeds it, what then is the problem? whoever told you that sanusi is the judge of the quality of nigerian graduates? Has he become the minister of education? this same sanusi that graduated from ABU? is he also not 'unemployable'? is your brain also aware that Nigerian graduates perform best in the foreign schools they go?

3. am not sure you are gainfully employed. cos if you are, you will know that Nigerian graduates are recruited as equal as foreign graduates. indeed, te best Nigherian technocrats have their first degrees here. goole the educ background of any!

you dull o bros. go and do a survey of te workforce in Nigeria and i guarantee you that no less than 95% are nigerian graduates. does that mean our companies are doing poorly thn their foreign counterparts? mumu. try fashion a more sensible argument for your oga.

4. pay the price you say? why dont your governor also pay the minium wage to its workers comparable with that of the other countries you have mentioned? Bigot!

5. i have an LLB, a first degree and i ve held on to my job for 6 yrs in the hottest dept of one of the biggest companies not just in Nigeria...in Africa! so sit down oga...this is me, the same guy who paid 90 naira school fees in 2000-2005. and i dont have to tell you how mny of my friends work as expatriatsin schlumberger and others multinationals. we all paid N90! Thank God we had a sane Federal Government. thats why Fashola must never be president. go tell your boss he has lost all credibility with lagosians. oponu.

Which of d houses is still available


wh

mapet: 1. It is the inability of you guys to use your God given brains that is the problem
2. That a University is self sustaining does not mean they will make all their income from tuition haba! This is pretty standard
3. What is wrong with private sector part-funding aspects of the university? Was there not supposed to be a synergy between the academia and private sector in the first place? why do the private sector sponsor huge researches or hold professorial chairs or massively support academic foundations in the first place
4. What you guys fail to realise is that for the university to fulfil it's share of the development of this eco-system, it needs to leave the doldrums of the wanton neglect and the huge joke some of our universities are presently at. It may interest you that no Nigerian university make the top 400-500 in the world, what do we have then. What impact has our university made in our local economy beyond some scanty media blitz, that dies almost on arrival. In Europe and the States, the drug industry competes with IT and Oil and gas, yet in Nigeria, we have not gone beyond basic analgesic and oitments.... do the math, which one will be more beneficial, a LASU that will be qualitative, attract necessary support interm of investment, research and international clout, turn out product that will impact the local community or the current LASU that was struggling for funding to even sustain it's Laboratory. In 1997/98 there was protest in the Engineering Faculty; it was saddening that students in the Electronics & Computer Engineering department in the final year had not even seen a computer, yet lots of the computers that was facilitated by Late Prof. Agbalajobi and UN donor agencies were either not enough or outlived their usefulness. In Science Faculty in 1998 we led a protest and even invited the LTV and I think AIT, when our science lab were worse than we met it. Are these what is important just because we want the children of the "poor" to go to school I keep saying it, University Education is not for everybody.......

With all due respect to you...u re a dunce!


You went tru schl...paid low fees and now advocate dt univ. Education shd be for some select few?

U re truly a product of a failed system.

I paid low fees tru school...am sure I wouldn't have been able to afford d fees fashola wants lasu students to pay. So I tank God I had saner government officials while I was in school.

Are lasu graduates not working in multinational companies? Is d education dat bad? U increade quality by reducing quantity? Funny....


Fashola enjoyed low school fees...now he wants to deny others. May God repay him and you in d same coin.

[quote author=~vicky~]I had this dream where this giant bee/wasp/hornet/yellow jacket thing was chasing me! And it kept chasing me and chasing me, so I tried hiding in the bathroom with the door locked. But it drilled through the door with its stinger and started chasing me again. For some reason, though, it couldn't drill through the room my parents and sibling were in. And my family wouldn't let me in the room because they thought the bee would get them! I knew I was a gonner. But I kept running and running but then I tripped on a banana peel.. And the thing caught up to me and I was there huddled in a ball thinking I was about to die! It was sooooo realistic. Then the bee thingy held its drill-like stinger up to me. He slowly was about to press it to my foot which I was holding in front of my face for 'protection'. It stung my foot and when it did I woke up scared to death all covered in sweat. And the foot that he stung was numb!! It was awsoooome. But I couldn't get to bed after that so weird! [/quote]yours wasnt as much wierd as much as probly sending you a message...hope you prayed tho wen you woke up?

larride:

I swear I tire ooo

so you know his policies are wrong or are you just cowardly eating your words?

Eko Ile: This dumb clown is still here shouting and making noise? Is there any reason why you should be taken seriously you sad and miserable loser preaching doom and gloom for Lagosians everyday.

The fact that you typed and posted the disgusting quote below means you are a scum bag and for you to call the man a bastard just because you are full of hate and bitterness obviously means you know a lot about bastards in your house and and the rest of your village...




Slit your wrist and die.. Oloshi evil spirit

[quote author=larride]you claim to be working and earning your pay yet you have enuf time to go thru all my posts. i understand sha...surfing social media and being paid is someting only an idio.t like you can call earning your pay...

....And yes i said it...he is that and more. And am sure when i say that, i say so for the Makoko people that were displaced, the Lasu students sittin @ home cos they cant afford the fees, and the lekki residents being extorted thru the dubious toll gates.


He, along with you are bas.tards... for fanning the flames of ethnic hate in your posts( anyone can go thru your posts to realise this). since "Eko' belongs to you, Fashola and your father's village...y dont u stop collecting taxes from non indigenes....oponu like you are.


Your mother has failed in not aborting you cos you add no value to the Nigerian society...perhaps only to propagate the ethnic doctrine.


Word of advice. Use your brains when u write...its un-utilised currently.

[quote author=Mynd_44]Hmmmm[/quote]Mynd...talk ur own na

Eko Ile: Ode, so you came to lagos to enjoy your life under the bridge or for lagos taxpayers to give your lazy azzz free house..? Abeg park ya face for side..

If LASG must use bigots to try influence public opinion...am sure it can do better than use someone uncouth and without brains like u.

Ur statements don't even make sense. Am tryin hard to distill some sense buh I can't. I was born in lag so I didn't 'come' to lag. Ethno centric bast.ard dt u r. Like I said earlier...u re a shame to properly upheld yoruba principles.

Who are lagos taxpayers? Are taxes not collected from all and sundry living in Lagos? So y den exclude some pple from benefitting from d state's resources? An intelligent person wud ask these questions...buh no...not you.

This lagos govt hasn't even provided subsidized or any form of housin for any body. Their disguised attempt to do anytin on housing was its stupid provision of d Tenancy law which made tins worse....

And rily...u re senseles.s to call someone u dnt knw a lazy azz. I wrk in a financial institution and earn my pay...buh am sure ur definition of hardwork is bootlickin govt functionaries.

So tell me...how much do u get for marketing brainless and visibly incoherent policies of d LASG?
