Number 1

I went to deliver material at Njaba, Imo state. On my way back I received a call. The contact is not stored on my phone and I'm not familiar with the Truecaller name but the guy made me to understand that he met me when he came to buy material in our company sometime ago. Now he started his story:

He is an engineer and was transferred to Kaduna. There he met an old friend who serves one wealthy business man. This his friend has gathered a lot of money over the years and now wants to buy land in Kaduna. So he had to advise this his friend that it was better to buy the land in the East because no one knows tomorrow. On that premise he decided to contact me as someone who can use my connection to help them get land in Owerri. They need two or three plots in a good location with a budget of 20 to 25 million. I said no problem, call me back in 5 days.

Five days later he called and I told him I've seen. A three plot for 22 million and two plots for 28 million (NB. I didn't do anything, I know it was all fraud but I just wanted to see to the end). He now said he will give me the friend's number so that we can communicate directly. I told him to give him my own number instead. (I wasn't ready to spend a dime on call credit).

To cut the long story short, arrangements were made. Being that he was under somebody, the money has to be moved discretely in cash. So he will wait till Oga closes for work then he will put the money in a fridge, lock it and then waybill it. He sent me the driver's number and the waybill number.

The following morning I got a call from the supposed driver. He said he is at Okene that custom people stopped them and are searching everything in the van. They had opened the carton of the fridge but there's a lock so they want to break the padlock to know what's inside. I asked him to call the person that gave him the waybill and he told me that the number was switched off, I confirmed it too. So I now asked what could be done he said I should talk with the custom officers.

He gave his phone to the supposed custom people and they told me they needed to know why there's a padlock on a new fridge or otherwise I should settle with 500k. I smiled. But I bargained anyway until they accepted 50k. I asked the driver to send me his account number he refused. I asked the custom officer for their account number they refused. Instead they said there's a POS operator nearby that they will get her account number. I said ok. They sent the account number and I told them I would have to go to a POS to do the transaction. When I posted them till around midday they stopped calling till this day. So they would have taken my 50k just like that.

So much for saying nothing, they speak same English and just to show their difference, they added slight differences… today, the UK respects them cos they’ve gone beyond bitterness.


The Oval Office had a moving procession on the Queen’s passing.


Hate will take us nowhere please, let’s be successful as a nation first, we can even pull out of the commonwealth and they will be trying to form attachment

Which other language were they supposed to speak? How old is America and it's history?

Heathrow44:
In the UN charter before 1945 they don't recognize ethnic groups but people, ethnic groups can't form a new nation, it was a treaty with signatories from all over d world, no absorption of nations by" ethnic groups" is allowed

If we want to define "ethnic group " you will become confused, so let's leave it. However, ethnic group and nation are both synonyms of tribe. In Europe most of the countries have some common history, culture and language. Those are attributes of tribe. There's nothing wrong if Yorubas, although a tribe, becomes a nation; a country. Why should you have parts of Hausa in Nigeria, Cameroon and Nigel while they can become one country?

RexTramadol1:
Well, you’re what you define yourself to be.


Americans communicate in same, they don’t see themselves as conquered.



If Nigeria had been a thriving nation, this wouldn’t even be up for discussion.

Sit down and find out who and who make up American population and tell me what their native language ought to be

zionstaar75:
are they the ones that asked abacha to steal 5billion?atiku to be a billionaire with gce certificate (that's the only legitimate certificate he has,he bought others)asked tinubu to turn himself to lagos landlord when he's from iragbijiand lastly Peter obi to enter university with the o level photocopy attached? Africa is her own biggest problem not the Queen.alot of commonwealth nations are doing very well.this lady is Simon ekpa's girlfriend,senseless and full of bile.Nigeria is a country that loves mediocrity and that's why we're here.the university should fire her asap

You lack knowledge. I won't say more

olakan22:
And it was the queen who began to rule in 1952 that started slave trade?
What are you people saying sef

I wrote "the queen and her family"

yom2:
OK if u know all these its not late to reverse d damages or are they still thinking for u and tied u with ropes?

It seems you don't get the message

spencekat:
No, continue,don't be weary.

The larger African population are illiterates, typing long episode for such population is a fruitless endeavor. Only a slave who attempts to make a move would know that he is in chains

Exmilitant:
don't forget to add;
They were the Aros haunting the hinterlands of Alaigbo kidnapping women and children and selling them off to "buyers" via Calabar river.

Confused tribe!

The same thing the Aros did for the whites against the fellows is the same thing you do today supporting corrupt politicians at the detriment of your people. Go and learn about power play

Regie2bless:
please don't blame the Europeans for our woes, the same Britain colonise Canada and USA but see the development going on there, in terms of the slave trade, please don't blame Britain. Blame the Kings and chief back then who was so greedy to trade off their subjects for a piece of mirror and cutlery. The same greediness is still holding Africa to ransom especially Nigeria, where a politician will scoop all d money ment for development in to his pocket. Is such a shame dat a professor should know better instead of fooling herself around.

You don't really understand. The composition of USA during and after colonialism is different from that of Africa. America was made up of people from all parts of the world including Europe, Asia and Africa. America had a large population that was already familiar with British tricks . That cannot be said of Africa. They took us unawares

RexTramadol1:
Mr History, the language you typed now was invented by you I suppose.

Whenever I communicate in English I see myself as a conquered man. Every Nigerian speaking English as a lingua franca is a conquered man

INDUSTRIALFAN:
Yes they did all of these but playing the victim card every single time is not going to rectify anything or reunite the families torn apart nor turn back the hands of time. The Chinese were colonized too and you don’t see them b!tching about it and blaming everything on colonizers but rather building ties and their economy while all we do is blame blame blame. Okay we have heard her complain and felt her pain. Oya what next? Omo. We need to stop abeg.

You can't talk about solution without understanding the problem. Don't forget, china was never officially colonized by any country. That's why you speak English as a Nigerian while a Chinese speak Chinese

DollarSigns:
But the queen is the reason you own a phone and can type this classless opinion of yours
Otherwise, you’d be a peasant/bushman/nomad etc
The black man has always been very ungrateful, greedy but quick to blame his misfortunes on others that’s why he was ever ready to sell his kin just because he wanted the white man’s money

Don't be naive, man. Neither iphone, nor Samsung, nor Huawei come from Europe. Civilization didn't start in Europe. If not that they truncated our development, Africa should have been more advanced than Europe.

You can never be a good history student and not share the same sentiment with this woman. Queen Elizabeth and her family have committed unprecedented evil against humanity. I can't even begin to type the kind of damage they have done to world.

Is it the destruction and the disorientation of African people and their culture? Africa was self sufficient until they came with slave trade wherein they adopted and exported our young main overseas. When they embarked on industrial revolution, they made sure that they replace our food crop production with cash crop production. This singular act ruined Africa.

They brought fake religion that severed Africans from their ancestors thereby making them to lose their history and identity. They made us believe that all our actions are sin; we need a Jesus to justify our sinful nature. Accepting Jesus won't stop us from sinning, but out sins would now be forgiven. Crazy if you ask me!

They drew up the map of the world with blood, cutting families away from each other and joining strangers together. They extol nationalism but condemn tribalism. For goodness sake, tribe is to Africa what nation is to Europeans.

They give freedom to their own on request but suppress any voice of freedom in Africa.

They imposed strange political and education system on us that would never help in addressing our peculiar challenges.

I'm tired of typing

I will only spend more than 150k if I'm buying my dream galaxy S21 ultra

Job in one man business is as good as being jobless. But the accountant has learnt an invaluable lesson that will help him for live

I blocked one today. We agreed to see this evening. I called her in the afternoon she was sleeping, I told her to call me when she wakes up. About 1 hour later I saw her online. She neither called me nor sent me a any message. Around 8 she told me that something came up that we should leave it next time. I told her there won't be next time. I deleted her contact instantly and blocked her on Facebook.

Once you start taking me for granted I feel insulted and I cut ties. How can you miss my call and don't call back? How can we have appointment and you cancel it without telling me? How can you read my messages without replying even at a later time and yet you won't give me a reason?

I no trust country where only women dey rule.

Because u dey carry my d go fvuk?

You mustn't fvck to be given wrong result.

Bilabong:
That one na ur concern.

One day e go concern you

I noticed some ungodly invaders on my private sanctuary so I headed to a laboratory on Saturday to ascertain who the invaders were. The young lab technician took my urine, blood and swap for the test and asked me to come on Tuesday for result because the Monday sit at home is still active.

To cut the long story short, he told me I had "serious staphylococcus aureus". In his words, "but there is a problem-- you have HIV". Consequently he told me that someone who was going to bring drugs to me will call me shortly and he won't recommend any treatment for the staph unless I start treating the HIV otherwise the staph treatment won't work. Meanwhile as of that Tuesday, those invaders on my sanctuary had even disappeared to thin air; they were nowhere to be found again.

All the while I was just looking at him and shaking my head. My problem with him wasn't about the test result but the audacity with which he said I have HIV and even was determined to place me on treatment immediately. But I wasn't perturbed.

The next day I got a call from a lady who asked that we see at a certain health center. I told her I won't be available till Sunday. She was willing to meet me even in my location on that Sunday. I agreed anyway. I deliberately delayed seeing her till Sunday so that I would have time to do proper testing.

On Saturday I took my mate to another lab and we did the test again while she did culture as well (I didn't bother to do another culture since I was perfectly ok). The HIV test came out negative (as expected). I wasn't interested in meeting that lady again. Throughout Sunday I didn't call her and she didn't call me either. On Monday she called. I asked her whether she only gives drugs or she run test before treatment. She said she run test first, so I gave her another appointment on Tuesday.

I got to the health center this morning and discovered that the lady is truly a health worker. They wanted to start those their preaching I just told them to go straight to the point and run the test, whatever the outcome is I will accept it. They wanted to refuse but I assured them... The test was conducted and the result was still negative and few minutes later I was out.


Now the issue:
1. On the initial result, the lab technician wrote that HIV is reactive. A medical practitioner should know that at that instance, what he should do is to recommend a further testing. It was very wrong of him to conclude, based on that result alone, that I was positive. Let's even assume that I misunderstood him, he communicated it in the worst possible manner.

2. I look healthy. There was no emergency. So he shouldn't have held back from writing out drug prescription for the supposed infection for me because I paid 8k for the test. Not treating HIV shouldn't stop treating infection.

3. Staphylococcus aureus is not an STI, but you can hardly be intimate with a patient without being infected. There's nothing like staph in the test result of my mate. So I don't even trust that his result.

4. When I mentioned the name of the lab at the health center, the attested to the genuineness of the lab. But I'm concerned: could they have given me another person's result?

Honesty and politicians are two parallel lines. They only say what you want to hear, nothing more

The immediate sign of that is the return of police checkpoint at every pole.

The reduction in attack might also not be unconnected with the rise of Peter Obi's popularity. The presence of Obi in the race has raised the hope of many who hitherto had lost hope in the Nigerian project.

Peace is all we pray for!!!

Luzebox:
start learning a programing language...like python...u don't need maths..and start reading up on networking...you can run both at the same time..after that...web development...you don't need to know how to build a website just understand how it works...and also change your OS to Kali Linux...and read up on how to navigate around the OS..after that you should be able to find your own way...it's not going to be easy bro

Thanks a bunch. Could you please recommend a budget laptop?

Lordpeckxy:
What you need is Logical thinking rather than math.
As long you good with logic, The you are good to go with programming.

and if you really want to explore cyber security, I recommend using Kali Linux as your Operating System and subscribing to NetworkChuck on YouTube.

Thanks a lot. Please which budget laptop would you recommend to me?

Luzebox:
You should be able to read and understand codes to be a hacker..even if you can't build with it...if you plan on writing malwares though..you need to know how to code...for reverse engineering...u need c and assembly language...but for malware creation .. python will do...for me I started with web and mobile development...then transitioned into networking..then cyber security

Which learning progression would you recommend for me?

Phino phyno: This guy is an alien

Erigga: His ease of using words is out of this world

TastyFriedPussy:
a hacker or cyber-security expert who does not know how to programme is called a script kiddie (you can do more research on Google) these are the ones that used automated or already made tools to hack..they just download a bunch of hacking software, master it and start hacking. The government find it easier to trace and catch these one's (if your intent is malicious) and moreover, it's difficult to make legit money as a script kiddie because I don't think any company will be willing to hire you because they don't consider these ones to be skilled.

But like I said earlier, if your desire is to be a skilled ethical hacker who is good at what he does or a hacker who hopes to work for a company and earn legit money, you need to learn programming..simple

That's it. See me see python
