Hi pals, I purposely opened a new acct for this cos of d sensitivity. Please i need ur candid advice on this issue.

A cousin of mine got a crate of soft drinks and found out dat one of d 7up has a very big COCKROACH corked inside.

He showed it to a Pepsi distributing van, he was begged to give dem the bottle and give him about four crates in return.

A thought came to my mind and i told him "Man we are educated individuals, we can get a substantial amount of money from dis company if we follow d right procedure.

Maybe by threatening to sue them to court for improper Good house keeping (GHK) during production and total disregard for consumer health safety by getting d services of a lawyer who will first write them of d situation or report to NAFDAC (last option though cos dis means making money for corrupt politicians to steal ,cos we know NAFDAC can't fine them for nothing less than several millions of naira).

As anyone ever done dis n got good money from this companies or gat advices to give.

NOTE:: pls don't castigate us, since d govt cant help us,we av to utilize d slightest opportunity to hit big time.

listen up man..jux get a gud lawyer nd sue them they will be begging u wit 10million naira. I wish it was me.

Good day nairalanders , am new on this forum and I actually registered here so that I can get a credible and mature solution to my lingering emotional and relationship problem.

It goes like this; I have a bf that I have been dating for a year now and he is a very wonderful Person, he is my first love and I really love him so much because he gives me a different kind of feeling that I have never felt before , but my dilemma is that I met another guy a month after I accepted to date my bf , we were normal friends for the first one month though I never told him I had a bf until he surprisingly made his intentions known to me . This other guy has been an angel in my life and we started hanging out frequently due to my bf not being around because he traveled out of the country , this other guy has been the most loving and caring guy that I have ever met, he is always there for me and showers me with so much care love and time . He then introduced me to my introduced me to his family ( his mum and dad inclusive) and they loved me at an instant and started welcoming me and calling me their daughter . Now this other guy is 30 while I turned 21 in December and my guy is 23 . This other guy has a great job and ready to settle but his not rushing me saying that he will wait till I am ready . The problem is that I don't have the type of love he wants me to have for him , the thing is that I love my bf so much and I am not ready to let him go . My bf missed my graduation , my birthday and Val's because he had some pressing issues though he sent me my gifts through mail but the other guy was there for me , came for my grad at gwagwalada, took me to a lovely restaurant on my bday and surprised me with a lovely gift and also spent time with me on Val's day and it was so lovely. My bf is around but I see him only 3 times a month and I don't complain but this other guy sees me like 4 times a week .

I have been in a romantic relationship with the new guy although we have done something's apart from direct sex because I am a virgin . This other guy has sacrificed a lot for me but I wanna let him go because he really want me to leave my bf and stay permanently with him , but I love my bf so much and my feeling for him is not strong . He said the reason why I don't love him is because my heart is somewhere else and the moment I leave my bf , I will start loving him as long as I concentrate solely with him.

He also said that even if I leave him and my bf should later find out what I did with him , that my bf will dump me , if not now but later and I will loose the opportunity of everlasting happiness with him ( the other guy)

I care a lot about the other guy and I have feelings for him but I love my bf a lot , even though he loves me more that my bf does.

The other guy also said my bf is still young and might disappoint me in the future . I believe my bf will not because I can guarantee that he is not cheating on me and will not .

The following are the questions that keep on giving me sleepless nights :

1. Will my bf dump me if he eventually finds out bout what I did with the other guy.
2 . Will my bf or me fall out of love as we grow due to the age
3. Am I sure that he is not cheating on me or later leave me for someone else
4. Should I loose my virginity to him to prove my love
5. Will I find another lovin guy like the other guy later in life if my guy leaves me
6 . Will I leave to regret leaving the other guy
7 . Should I follow my heart or head because my heart says my bf but my head says the other guy
8. Will I fall inlove with the other guy if I stop seeing my bf?

Please help me with very mature answers because this will play a vital role in my life in the future .

Ladies that have experienced this come forth and guys that understand the way guys reason should help out pleaseeeee , because am still a novice when it comes to relationship issues. Thank you

you know what?..follow jesus and leave dis bf thing.he will show you the right thing to do

The kidnapping of schoolgirls in Chibok in Nigeria by Boko Haram caught the attention of the world. Some of the girls who escaped are being taught at a school run by the American University of Nigeria.

The university now finds itself helping to feed 270,000 displaced people, pushed out of their own homes by violence. The university's president describes the humanitarian crisis unfolding around her.

How does an American-style university survive in northern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has been waging war against education?

Can a university function in a town that has doubled in size with people fleeing the terror?

This is a region where thousands of citizens have been killed, villages have been destroyed and hundreds of thousands have been displaced.

Against this backdrop, at the edge of Boko Haram controlled territory, sits the American University of Nigeria (AUN), which stands for western education in name and practice.

It is located in Adamawa state, one of three northern Nigerian states in a state of emergency with a curfew. Yet the capital Yola remains a safe haven, free of the violence that plagues so much of the north-east.

But now with an estimated 400,000 "internally displaced persons" in Yola, there is another humanitarian crisis right outside the gates of this outpost of American education.

Raising the alarm

The magnitude of Boko Haram's devastation was not evident to those outside north-east Nigeria until news reports and photos began showing the violence and devastation.

Yola, Nigeria Crowds come to the university for food and clothing
For those of us here in Yola, we have been daily confronted with the realities of the violence of Boko Haram. Almost a full year ago in March 2014, we were asked by the Emir of Mubi to bring food and clothing to a group of displaced women and girls.

When we asked, "Where are your boys and husbands?" the women cried and then turned quiet. Finally one said: "They were burned or forced to join Boko Haram."

Since then, we have been trying to raise the alarm by sharing the story of these women who ran with their daughters and lost their husbands and sons to Boko Haram.

At first a few thousand internally displaced people, mostly women and children, came to live in our city. Many stayed with their relatives. With the university the largest employer in the region, we heard their stories through family members who are employees.

Most arrived only with the clothes on their backs. The university gave them food and blankets. Then 5,000 more came and community leaders rallied to help them.

Planting crops

A local chief from the village of Bole, where AUN is located, offered to settle the displaced on his land if the university and the Adamawa Peace Initiative, which brings together community and religious leaders, could give them seeds to plant on the land.

Now this visionary traditional leader, Chief Abdulomumuni, counts those seeking refuge as part of his village. But more kept coming: 20,000, then 100,000, now close to 400,000 displaced people are in Yola.

The population of Yola, which is normally 300,000, has more than doubled with the addition of people who have fled the horror of Boko Haram.

Yola, Nigeria Next generation: Children gather at a camp for displaced people in Yola
Only a small percentage of them, about 10,000, are living in government-run refugee camps.

The Nigerian culture is generous and dedicated to family. Extended relatives are offered shelter regardless of the strain it will put on already stretched resources.

As a result, some Yola residents, including one of AUN's drivers, have as many as 50 displaced persons living with them in their homes. It is a mark of shame to let even a distant family member go to a refugee camp.

While there is food distribution in the camps, the living conditions are not good, and lately there have been serious allegations of abuse.

Church grounds

This leaves the vast majority of the displaced living in our community with relatives or on church grounds. Close to 3,000 Christians and Muslims live on the grounds of St Theresa's Catholic Church. Here Bishop Mamza, a member of the Adamawa Peace Initiative takes care of housing and distributing food to them.

Mother of Chibok kidnapped schoolgirl Waiting for their children: A mother of a Chibok schoolgirl abducted last year
An additional 30,000 women come to the church grounds to receive food aid from the university and Adamawa Peace Initiative.

Why only women? When we began the food distributions the men were disorderly and at times unruly, so at St Theresa's we have limited the distributions to women only.

Each woman represents an extended family of about 20. Last weekend we gave aid to 5,000 at the church. This means 100,000 will have food for two weeks.

Food distribution also takes place almost every week at the Muslim Council. And just as at St Theresa's Catholic Church, Christians and Muslims come together.

Here the "feedings" are deliberately smaller so both women, children and men participate.

Imams and bishops

Organised by Imam Dauda Bello, the rice, maize and beans are passed out to the hungry with the help of local bishops, other imams, our university students, faculty and staff. One of the Christian bishops also assists.

Most large non-governmental organisations are set up to provide aid to refugees in camps, but are not set up to deal with hundreds of thousands of refugees outside of the camps.

Refugees in Yola There are more than 400,000 refugees in Yola being helped by the university and Muslim and Christian leaders
AUN is now feeding 270,000 of the 390,000 sheltering with family or relatives.

While we have been fortunate to receive $100,000 (£65,000) from US Agency for International Development (US AID) and another $200,000 (£130,000) from AUN's founder, Atiku Abubakar, this will not last past the new date for elections on 28 March.

And the university is appealing for more support to help displaced people and to provide scholarships.

Even if Boko Haram were suddenly defeated and no more displaced people came to Yola, people will shelter in Yola for the foreseeable future.

Most have no homes or villages to which to return and many no longer have husbands or sons to provide for them.

Witnesses to terror

Funds to feed, clothe, provide medicine are desperately needed - and they need to go to local organisations that have the knowledge and experience to provide in the community and not in camps.

Escapee from Boko Haram This 15 year old had been a Boko Haram captive. There are 21 girls at the university who escaped from kidnapping
Among our 400,000 displaced persons in Yola, there are approximately 200,000 children in Yola. Some are orphans, others do not know whether their parents are still alive.

Many have witnessed Boko Haram's gruesome atrocities first hand. None of these children is in school. With a few vans, tablet computers, books and the dedication of our students and staff, we could create a mobile education program to make sure the future of Nigeria keeps learning. But this too requires funds.

As a development university, we are committed to community development programs that are enabling an environment for peace, women's empowerment, and socioeconomic equality. Today we are embracing a much broader definition of community - both inside and outside our university gates - and the problems that come with that larger community.

Almost a year ago, Boko Haram abducted 276 girls from their school in Chibok. The #BringBackOurGirls campaign garnered headlines, international attention and outrage.

Yet 10 months later, they are all but forgotten by world, but not by the AUN community. We are now home to 21 of the "girls" who escaped after being kidnapped in April 2014 by Boko Haram.

These girls - who are actually strong young women of 16, 17, 18 and 19 years old - inspire us every day. The entire campus has embraced them.

Our female head of the Honor Society and chair of Society of Ethics and Leadership Club live in their residence hall and mentor them.

'Obsessed with peace'

They play sports with our students, yet their memories of the evening they were kidnapped still weigh heavily on them and are a topic that is still too painful for them to talk about.

Yola, Nigeria A young woman in Yola who had been caught up in a Boko Haram raid
They are continuing their education and aspire to become teachers, lawyers, dentists and doctors and go back to Chibok to help their families and town rebuild. They are in intensive classes from 8am to 5pm, preparing for the exams that they were about to take when they were kidnapped last year.

I asked them recently if they would write me what education means to them. One of the young women, Grace said, "Education gives me the wings to fly, the power to fight and the voice to speak."

How does a university not only survive, but also enable its students to thrive in such circumstances?

Imam Dauda Bello says he is "obsessed with peace." We all are obsessed with peace in Yola. Perhaps that is why we are safe in the midst of violence and anarchy and our students are growing the wings to fly.

what do u expect when the owner of the school is a patron of BH.
