First of, having traveled a lot across some Northern Nigeria, I observed that anytime I paid for a bus fare, I'm being asked to pay for loading charges even if I only have a luggage or paid for the fare; the charges I was request to pay is 500 naira just for my bag which contains only clothes.

This poor old woman in a traditionally adorned dress is asked to pay 700naira for her three (3) sack bag (Ghana must go). The money asked by the motor park boy (karen mota) asked her to pay is enough to travel to another local government within a state in Nigeria and a change of 200naira will remain.

My stake is, this unwarranted abuse should stop, if you pay for a bus fare, you don't have to pay for a luggage fare let the driver pay the "en garageé"...

Nigeria came to be as a result of the 1914 amalgamation of North and the south by the British colonial Masters.

It is a blessed country from North to South, East to West, but Tribalism, Religious Bias and Sexism is one of the factors out of many that is weighing us down from achieving a strong and united Nigeria, where there is no crises as a result of our differences.

All my life I wish and hope Nigeria is more like The United States of America. USA has different cultures, immigrants from other countries came and settled there and they are more united than Nigeria, they have the Chinese, blacks who their forefathers were slaves, the Spanish and the Italians but they didn't see their self's as not from any part of the country even though there are still hate in some parts of USA and that doesn't stop them from loving their country and the part of country they came from or were born in.

Nigeria is different from America, as far as your parent are not part of that state you are denied your basic right, even though you are born and brought up in that locality, it happens both in the South and the North, I don't know where this came from but if we are not able to love or share, we won't go far, an example with Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) If Nigeria is not able to replace State of Indigene with State of Residence, people more like Nnamdi Kanu will come and deceive the down trodden with gullible thought of freedom and better country.

As a Nigerian I'm not clamouring for abandonment of religion but our religion should be accommodative, tolerant for others faith, that's what religion should all be about, we should love one another as our self's.

I'm in support of Interreligious Marriages, Intertribal Marriages and in support for women to be independently free from the societal opinions about what they should or shouldn't.

Gender discrimination in work places need to end. The government should do more to protect women in schools and work places from sexual harassment from prying eyes of old haggard men.

People should be allowed to choose the way they want to live as far as it doesn't harm or corrupt the society. This will go a long way to curb out unnecessary insurrection in the country. Love heals!

.My friend today was traveling from Lagos to Minna on Peace Mass Transit, which got spoiled in Oyo since afternoon.

Around 1pm, uptill now as I'm writing this they are still on the main road. The parts of these cars reported to be Innoson product are fake and brought in from China, to be coupled in Nigeria.

It also been reported that severally their buses do get spoiled on the road frequently. My only fear is that I hope they are not to be attacked or kidnapped on that busy road.
