hopefulLandlord:
I avoid water transportation anytime I'm in Nigeria at almost all cost

Truth is our maintenance culture is terrible so it feels safer for me to take public road transport rather than ferry. if a BRT bus us poorly maintained it'll break down on the road and offload its passengers into another BRT while ferry might sink!

Of course there are safety measurements in place but its only a matter of time before such measurements cut corners on one after the other and I'd rather be safe than sorry. better late than never for me
What safety measures??
Please your paragraphs started well, lets keep it that way.
Water transport- over my dead body!

I don't get it.

PoliticsRe: Toyin Saraki Blast Police for Saying They Barricaded The Resident to Protect her by vivaciousvivi(f): 9:46am On Jul 25, 2018
First they denied it was not the Police.
Next the story is that it is the police but they were deployed there to "protect" Madam Saraki even though no member of the family requested for such service.
Which way Nigeria? undecided

PoliticsRe: Nigerians React To The Siege Laid On Saraki And Ekweremadu's Residences by vivaciousvivi(f): 1:09pm On Jul 24, 2018
What is the most displeasing to me is how the presidency and all the public relations and info officers working for his office just keep mum at a time like this. It shows noting but complacency and that the whole debacle was contrived!
So WRONG on every level. angry
No true loyalist of Buhari should see such and still think that his presidency should be supported after this.

I have respect for this man. Especially after he pulled the veil over APC's eyes few years ago when they first took over as the ruling party.
The man is a real Maradona.
Ike Ekweremadu and him are been used as a pawn on the hands of the APC after the unfortunate nPDP issue.
A pity.

Foreign AffairsRe: 2000-Year-Old Stone Coffin Discovered In Egypt Finally Opened (Graphic Photos) by vivaciousvivi(f): 12:43pm On Jul 20, 2018
Explorers:
This will be the first sarcophagus discovered holding liquid with mummies.

Whyhuh

Egyptians mummify their dead by removing the organs, placing them in jars, then wrapping the bodies and placing them in a coffins.

Noble men or Royals were also processed this way but the only difference is Royals were given treasures(Gold), potteries, pets, weapons and sometimes slaves depending on the status of the body or how rich or powerful he was before dead.

But look at this case, 3 dead bodies placed in a huge coffin made of black stone weighing many tons, filled up with liquid, sealed up and lowered 16ft deep.

To me this looks like a prison.

vivaciousvivi
Very interesting! @ 1st bolded.
I see that you feel the liquid was placed in ancient times. Then it can't be normal sewage. How would you explain its current form 2,000yrs later please?

@2nd bolded - interesting choice of words. I struggled a bit before I also came up with the word "prisoners" before - and I didn't mean it in the literal sense. people are locked up to frustrate them from acquiring freedom. In this case, not the body but their very souls (which may have been believed to inhabit untold evil).
Why didn't they add a papyrus or even chisel the tomb.
Such a mystery!

CrimeRe: Doctor Who Slapped And Flogged A Nurse Arrested And Charged In Lagos (Photo) by vivaciousvivi(f): 11:49am On Jul 20, 2018
Same doctor that took the so called Hippocratic oath.
So an accident victim should bleed to death slowly and painfully before he or she is given even a minute form of medical assistance?
And then act like a deranged human being and slap a fellow co-worker (not at a bar or club) but at the office environment simply because His majesty was not consulted beforehand. And he isn't even the owner of the hospital o.
Convicted or not, he has gained a negative form of popularity and has put his hospital name in disrepute.
Power-hungry mongrel.

But come o, the doctor is fine sha cheesy
Foreign AffairsRe: 2000-Year-Old Stone Coffin Discovered In Egypt Finally Opened (Graphic Photos) by vivaciousvivi(f): 11:36am On Jul 20, 2018
Earthbound:
As a matter of fact, I do. These things aren't heresay. They weren't buried with even one piece of gold. Egyptians bury their dead, even the poor with enough gold to pay for the boat ride which transports them to the underworld. It may sound ridiculous but that's their faith. These mummies, were undignified in burial. It speaks volumes.
I concur.
I also believe in ancient curses.
Let's wait and see what the study would bring and all the different theories that would come up.
that "sewage water" though....I am confused.
I am sure they would take samples from the top and the sedimentary bottom for study.

luminouz:
Ur d only one making sense here.......
A coffin of black granite( note the colour), sealed with mortar, and d sewage liquid indicates something isn't meant to escape (their essences,auras or spirits or some deadly plaque).

What those guys found was an elaborate ceremony about something very very serious.

Note the absence of ornaments or figurines,like the pharaohs...
I completely agree with you and Earthbound.
They were not pharaohs and possibly were not directly part of the royal linage.
Pharaohs when buried (even with their slaves - are buried outside their sarcophagus but still within the general tomb) though some have been known to be buried with cats within the sarcophagus (which ancient Egyptians may have revered). These ones were buried like prisoners.
My curiosity has been amped up by the discovery of the sewage.
2,000 year old sewage still in its original liquid form and almost filled to the brim!
Where did it come from? is it modern day sewage? why are the surrounding areas not mot with moisture from same? Or we see pipes underground that may have leaked in? How manage?
They also need to research how many times tombs of granite was used in ancient Egypt and possibly find out why.

Do you and Earthbound believe in the so called curses btw? And you Explorers? Whats your take?

And 5% stake owned by the public sector is quite commendable.
Clearly we have learnt our lessons from the collapse of Nigeria Airways and all the many other public sector operated businesses of the past that went down the drain.

Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Accepts A Soccer Ball From Putin. See Reactions (PHOTOS) by vivaciousvivi(f): 2:15pm On Jul 17, 2018
The fact that stupid Trump practically validated Russia's interference in the last elections and even had the gall to suggest that both countries were at fault for the continued decline in Russia / US relations since the cold war is complete folly and an unprecedented stupid move by a serving US president. He had so much leverage to bring the summit at Helsinki to his advantage but he blew it (not completely surprised though) cos his acknowledgement of such interference will simply bring to the fore that he may not be the true elected leader of the American people.

Btw, I need to follow that @scholarly whatever on twitter asap.

Its a non permanent dye called henna with origins from the middle east / parts of North Africa.
I believe it has strong cultural and some religious undertones but is now widely popular across the non-secular entertainment industry both home and abroad just to be used as a fashion statement.
I personally think its beautiful and had mine done once by an Arabian woman a few yrs ago. cleaned off in 2 days. smiley

No disgrace haba. We all learn every day.
