Business / Re: New Tricks Used By Filling Station's Pump Attendant by vanstanzy(m): 12:42pm On Oct 16, 2013 |
andyanders: Mine was in Lagos. I truly saw that what the meter had was 400 naira, and the lady made any comment. I started pumping from the 400 naira not knowing that I was watching her, when I saw that she was above 1,200 I now asked her why she did not clear her meter b4 she started and she said she cleared it. I asked her to stop. She stopped. I now locked my fuel tank, entered my car and she was like Sir, you have not paid, I told her that if she repeat the statement that I will eat her raw and fu0ck her without using Vaseline on her. She saw my eyes and never answered me back. I went away with the fuel she pumped. Shuo! This fuel attendant thing is a national phenomenon now. my bad. Thst serves d lady right thow. Now she pay for her stupidity from her purse. |

eddiebruk: This is actually true, it happened to me in Warri some early March, i stopped at a filling station just to get petrol of 1500 that will enable me get to NNPC filling station so that i can get my tank filled at a considerable rate and the guy went ahead, ran the machine as if he was putting some petrol in my tank just because i was looking away i didn't notice, unknown to him that my meter was already on reserve, after driving for about 3mins my petrol meter still didn't rise, i had to revise back to the service station, by this time i didn't know my friend who was with me was already furious about the whole thing, but he didn't say a word until we got there, on reaching there i asked the guy that how much petrol did he put in my tank, and he said 500, i was shocked, before i could say another word, my friend has given this guy a very hot slap that threw him to the ground, it was the intervention of the Manager that rescued this guy that day, we had to demand for our money back and they gladly gave it back. Dis sounds like a delta state problem. These guys are ruinning biz for the filling station owners. All this get rich quick schemes, sef. |

simplyOJ: i beg free Nigeria. This could just be an isolated case and i must commend the fearlessness of the traffic warden. He must have been carrying out his assignment knowing fully well that the system will protect him. We need to as nation develop and strengthen our institutions and free it to a large extent from influences from the powers that be. Yes, u r rite. But a system can only be worked on from the top. Its not d kinda thing everyone can lay there hands on. Our leaders need to be told d truth. U need a level of authority to effect changes. |

Romance / How To Save A Marriage After An Affair by vanstanzy(m): 10:56am On Oct 15, 2013 |
BY JOE BEAM, CP GUEST COLUMNIST October 12, 2013|9:20 am Divorce breaks the hearts of those involved - couples, children, parents, friends, church, and the heart of God. One of the greatest underlying events destroying marriages today is adultery. The following is a frank and spiritual message on how to save a marriage after an affair. My fervent passion is in saving marriages and making them healthy and holy again. I encourage you to at least make a commitment not to remain at a disinterested distance when couples you love have their lives coming apart. So let's get started. To better understand extramarital affairs, I sorted them into three categories. 1. The Short-Lived Affair lasts from one night to several months and is primarily about sex. Subcategories included Revenge Affairs, Affairs of Opportunity (at the right place at the right time to do the wrong thing), Self-Esteem Booster Affairs, and more. 2. The Allowed Affair has become more prevalent with the graying of morality in our culture. It was once called "Swinging" and now its participants just call it "The Lifestyle." 3. The most difficult kind of affair to overcome is the Relationship Affair. It typically starts as friendship that evolves into shared emotions and eventually shared bodies. Those in Relationship Affairs usually are in love with each other. Madly in love. This is why so many Relationship Affairs lead to divorce - no matter how strongly you tell the person that s/he is sinning and no matter how hard the abandoned spouse tries to save the marriage. Because of such passages as Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, churches usually grant the offended spouse the right to start over with a new mate, and few blame him or her for moving on with life. May I offer another possibility? Wouldn't it be better for everyone - the cheated, cheater, children, church, and community - if there were a way to rescue the straying spouse, heal the hurts, and guide husband and wife back to a marriage of love and commitment? We in the marriage business know that if a marriage survives an affair, it will be stronger and more loving than it was before the affair. Salvaging a marriage when a spouse is in love with someone else usually isn't accomplished by pointing the adulterer to scripture, logic, or consequences. If I had space, I'd explain why. The short version is that they are driven by strong and compelling emotions that they're convinced you don't understand. Therefore, they disregard you, along with your Bible, lectures, and piety. Very often they'll even tell you that God sent the lover to them. So how do you save these marriages? Based on my experience, I suggest the following to the abandoned spouse and to all attempting to help: 1. Believe that an affair, even an exceptionally strong Relationship/Love Affair, is not necessarily the end of a marriage. It may be, but it doesn't have to be. Don't give up. Keep praying and doing the right things, no matter how hopeless it may seem. 2. Don't beg, cajole, or attempt to manipulate the adulterer. S/he is already emotionally on edge; emotional actions from you exacerbate the situation. Be firm, but always loving and calm. 3. Don't try to convince him or her that the lover is a bad person or primarily responsible for the affair. That might work in a Short-Lived Affair. However, it typically causes a person in a Relationship Affair to develop an "us against the world" union with the lover. 4. Drag out any divorce proceedings as long as possible. The intense emotions involved with being "madly in love" last anywhere from six to thirty-six months. Though the straying spouse may become angry and try to manipulate the abandoned spouse into divorce ("I'll make things tougher for you if you don't go along with me ...", the abandoned spouse should be strong, endure the other's wrath, and drag it out as long as possible. There is a very real possibility that the abandoning spouse will eventually lose the intensity of desire to be with the lover. Don't give up! 5. The abandoned spouse should demonstrate his or her ability to survive and prosper without the abandoning spouse. S/he must concentrate on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. This accomplishes two things. 1) The abandoned spouse needs this for him- herself. 2) The abandoning spouse often is drawn back to the abandoned spouse when s/he continues to be strong and self-sufficient. 6. In fervent prayer, ask God to bring chaos, financial distress, and anything else He will do to cause pain as a result of the sinner's actions and to create circumstances so that it is difficult for him or her to continue in the affair. 7. The abandoned spouse should procure an attorney that will protect his or her rights, finances, and the like. The attorney should make the divorce as painful as possible - financially and otherwise - to the abandoning spouse while still protecting the interests of the abandoned spouse. Expect the abandoning spouse to react with anger. However, making sin have strong negative consequences is the right thing to do. 8. The church should practice discipline, though in our day and age that hasn't nearly the effect it had in biblical times. It's so easy now to walk down the street and go to another church. However, if done in love and compassion, it still may have the needed effect. 9. Practice intervention. (If you need more information on how to do this, contact us and we'll send you a PDF with step by step details.) 10. Convince the straying spouse to take one last action before ending the marriage. Sometimes the abandoned spouse does this by offering a concession such as, "I'll give on this point in the divorce if you do this." Sometimes a friend, church leader, or even the person's child may convince him or her that, for conscience sake, s/he should do one more thing to see if there is any hope for the marriage. In my weekend turnaround workshop for marriages in crisis, LovePath 911, we have many couples who come because someone convinced the abandoning spouse to attend for conscience sake or to get some concession. Over nearly a decade, we've witnessed one seemingly hopeless marriage after another turn around during that weekend. They don't have to want to be there; they just have to be there. Whether you use our services, your own counselors, or someone else, the message is the same. We must not give up on marriages because we think that either spouse is beyond rescuing. Don't give up on the power of God and what He can do if only we do our parts. Source: http://www.christianpost.com/news/how-to-save-a-marriage-after-an-affair-106471/ |

Nairaland / General / Family Of Murdered Nigerian Student In Cyprus Cries Out To President by vanstanzy(m): 9:48am On Oct 15, 2013 |
The family of Gabriel Soriwei, a Nigerian student who was killed in the North Cyprus city of Nicosia, has cried out to President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the National Assembly to help in their quest for justice. Soriwei, 20, was a first year student of Electrical/Electronic/Engineering at the Cyprus International University in Nicosia when he was knocked down by a female driver on July 13, 2013. The student fell into a coma and eventually died on September, 7. On September 12, the authorities of the Cyprus International University flew his remains to his family through the same Turkish Airline by which he had arrived in that country in February to clear as cargo. While the family says it has accepted the reality of the painful loss of their, child, they say his death has raised some issues about the value placed on the life of the Nigerian outside the shores of this country. “First, neither the Cyprus International University nor the family of the woman who drove the car that killed Gabriel has found it necessary to at least write to the family to condole with us on the death of this young man who until his death was contributing to the economy of Cyprus by paying school fees as a foreign student,” they said in a statement signed by his father, Patrick Soriwei. They described as “unjust” the fact that the authorities of Cyprus are hiding the identity of the woman who killed Gabriel, noting that the Cypriot police insisted that it was the practice in their country to ensure that such a person was shielded from the family of the victim. “The police told the father of the deceased, Mr. Patrick Soriwei, during a visit to Nicosia that the Turkish woman lost control of the vehicle which knocked down Gabriel. It was however gathered that the woman was drunk even though we have no proof of it. The police said that the woman was detained for three days and released.” Similarly, the family said that its investigations revealed that the Cyprus International University, which was said to be pursuing the case and which is host to about 700 Nigerian students, has shown lack of interest in the issue. Several entreaties made to the school authorities to send the belongings of the late Gabriel to Nigeria have been ignored. “We have informed the Nigerian Embassy in Cyprus and the mission there does not seem to see this screaming demand to defend the rights of Nigerians in a foreign country as a priority. “The best the Nigerian Mission in Ankara has done was to send one Uche to the university to find out the cause of the death. The Mission has not rendered the necessary assistance in getting the police to write a report on his death. This delay in writing this report, we believe, is inspired by a plot to subvert the process of justice in this matter.” The family said it has therefore written to President Jonathan and the leadership of the National Assembly, with copies of the letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Turkish Embassy in Nigeria, and others. “While the Soriwei family intends to pursue this matter to the best of our abilities, we urge the Federal Government and all Nigerians of good conscience to come to our aid in the search for justice over the killing of this innocent Nigerian child,” it said, adding that the life of a Nigerian child should be treated more decently than that of a stray animal. “The situation doesn't seem to be different in this case.” Source: http://okunammiri..com/2013/10/family-of-murdered-nigerian-student-in.html |

Science/Technology / Iron Man-like Armor Commissioned By US Military For Future Use by vanstanzy(m): 8:51am On Oct 15, 2013 |
The U.S. Army recently commissioned an Iron Man-like suit that would give soldiers superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength and night vision. The armor, known as a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, would even be able to protect soldiers from gun fire, much like the suit Tony Stark wears in the Iron Man comics. "The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS, is an advanced infantry uniform that promises to provide superhuman strength with greater ballistic protection," wrote the army in a press release. Every one of them would also have an on-board computer that is able to instantly respond to certain situations and provide the wearer with enhanced situational awareness. The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command is currently submitting proposals for the suit. "There is no one industry that can build it," said SOCOM Senior Enlisted Advisor Command Sgt. Maj. Chris Faris during a panel discussion at a conference at MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. The request has been posted on Federal Business Opportunities as the Army is seeking out technology demonstration submissions from research and development organizations, private industry, individuals, government labs and academia to support the command-directed requirement issued by Adm. William McRaven, a USSOCOM commander. "The requirement is a comprehensive family of systems in a combat armor suit where we bring together an exoskeleton with innovative armor, displays for power monitoring, health monitoring, and integrating a weapon into that-a whole bunch of stuff that RDECOM is playing heavily in," said Lt. Col. Borjes. TALOS will also have a physiological subsystem that lies directly against the skin that is embedded which monitors body temperature, skin temperature, heart rate, body position and hydration levels. They hope to have the new armor fully developed within three years' time. Source: http://okunammiri..com/2013/10/iron-man-like-armor-commissioned-by-us.html
