Suspected Party Hoodlums Set INEC Office On Fire In Abia State

Unidentified assailants suspected to be members of a political party have set fire on a building housing the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at Mgboko, headquarters of Obingwa Local Area Council in Abia State.



Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, who has inspected the scene of the fire incident, totally condemned the act, describing the perpetrators as “enemies of the state”.

Mr Ikpeazu expressed shock at the level of damage done to the building and urged the police and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that the culprits were brought to book.

He called on the Police and the Army to beef up security in all INEC formations in the state to forestall any such incidents.

The Governor condemned the tendency of some disgruntled elements in the society to vandalise public property, stressing that such acts were big drawbacks to the efforts of government in providing dividend of democracy to the residents.

The Governor reiterated the determination of his government to maintain law and order and protect lives and property of the Abia citizenry.

Nigerian Student Wins Harvard Business School’s Award




A NIGERIAN and MBA student at Harvard Business School, Boston, United States, Miss Nneka Ezeigwe, has won the best prize in the School’s art competition. A statement from Harvard Business School website reads: “Each year we ask our classmates a straightforward, simple question taken from the lines of a poem by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Mary Oliver. We share with you intimate and candid responses to this question, “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

Ezeigwe's response was the wining entry for The Portrait Project.

Ezeigwe wrote: “‘Where are you from?’ is a question I struggle to answer. I pause when asked, and finally mumble a response that feels roughly accurate. Truth is: I’m part tourist, part native in many places. I’m frequently described as ‘lucky’ to have been exposed to many enviable experiences globally. I feel lucky, mostly, but a big part of me wishes I had the choice to grow up in the land of my birth (Nigeria), wishes I had the choice to attend high school and university with childhood friends, wishes I had the choice to start my career close to family.

“When you’re from the third world, if you’re lucky, staying home is rarely an option. You migrate to get a world-class education; you stay abroad to find the opportunities that set you up for the career success you desire. You leave loved ones behind, make new friends, lose touch with old ones and feel like a terrible daughter when you don’t make it home in time to call mum before she falls asleep, hours ahead and halfway across the world from you

“This is why I want to spend my life contributing to the social and economic transformation of Africa. I want to grow companies and build institutions that give our children a true chance to let home be home. I want to see Africa become a destination that can nurture the ambition and success that I’ve travelled so far away to find. And so I am lucky to finally be going home”.

Dats y I rather send my child to any European country than keep dem here for some half baked lecturers to frustrate dere life

OP has abandoned his thread. He ddnt even say his final decision

MRLINGTON:
'Millenium'
Toyota Camry 1998
Suddenly Toyota must have thought it was time
to slim down and introduced a slimmer model
that became popular in Nigeria till today. The
problem is, it didn’t have any distinctive
nickname. The only name I ever gathered it was
called was ‘Millenium’ because it came out in the
year 2000; when we entered the millennium.

lipseal:
So i have read all sorts of threads about deals gone bad on NL over the years and the most recent read being dat of betalytf's encounter with inspired. Now i must say this (opening a thread) is not a move i really wanted to make as i believe in resolving matters privately btwn u and whoever u have issues with but right now, it seems the 1st step forward for me. My experience goes forth

I was looking to preorder a car earlier this year and having followed the autos section on this site for years, Inspired autos stood out for me and was I silly to think i'd be dealing with a very professional auto dealer and I'm in for an hassle free preorder experience?
I spoke with Inspiredm on phone, negotiated and struck a deal to have him get me a car, my initial budget was 1.3m naira out of which i made an advance payment of 780k on precisely march 5 2014 (60%) - Inspired said cars less than 2m attract an advance of 60perent and not 40% as shown on his site and i had no issues with this.

I had wanted him to help me get a cheap SUV, a 2000 nissan xterra was my first choice but on seeing a pic of 1 which he sent, I felt it wasnt clean enough and decided to go for an 03 camry, he sent me a picture of an LE trim which was clean and we agreed i was goin to pay 1.4 for dat particular ride. i told him to get it, days later he sent me pics of an SE trim of another 03 camry and said he was getting it instead of the LE (I didnt ask why as this vehicle looked clean too), the SE costs more and we reviewed prices and agreed on 1.45m, called him after few days which he sent me the picture of the ride and he confirmed he has ordered the car for me and it will be sailing home soon lol (boy i just liked dat car from the very 1st pic i saw of it)...and so the wait began, after the usual 4-6 weeks which all preorder dealers preach they deliver elapsed, I was beginning to expect news of my ride's arrival but none yet, I'd call and the update was same, it hasn't arrived, other times his phones would just ring with no one answering or returning the missed calls, after about 3 months I was not only calling, i was sending emails and text messages all to ask for the status of my order and most times I'd get no response. He hardly returns calls, I confirmed this from complains of others.

Now here is where things got quite dramatic, in July (yes i waited some 4 months already), he informed me the ship has finally berthed and my ride is going through clearance, we decided to meet for the first time and i visited his show room, he seems a really gentleman and i never had any doubts he was the real deal after seeing what clean and lot more expensive automobiles others have preordered through him on this site alone. This clearing process went on for a while and on the 9th of July precisely, I suddenly received a call from him informing me he has another ride for me, that what i preordered - a silver 2003 camry SE trim didnt come with the vessel and another ride was sent instead, i thought it was a joke at first and oh boi, i try talk but nothing gree come out for my mouth and so the call ended... and right infront of my family members i started talking to myself (that was how they found out i bought a new car sef)...i waited all these months for a ride that was only sailing in my head? i was very pissed and I told him in no uncertain terms through calls and messages. I asked why I wasn't informed beforehand, why did he have to wait till arrival of whatever vessel before informing me of the little surprise he had for me in it (another ride which i did not choose), abi na why dem dey call am preorder, his explanation was he had no idea something else was sent too that he later got to find out my actual choice had engine problems bla bla...I didnt buy this but still wetin i wan do, i was at his mercy at this pnt.

He sent me a pic of the replacement which was a black color of same model but nowhere as clean as what i ordered so i humbly rejected it and this was how my preorder turned into a search for any locally available toks which is still in decent condition. If na wetin i want from day 1 na matter of me walking down to my very own busstop, pick a car from the roadside dealer there, pay up and drive the car back to my compound...finish, all within 30 mins i don buy car but as e b like dis wetin man go do? I never dreamt a preorder deal (with the known inspired autos for that matter) could go this far south but sha, i gave him options to get me another locally sourced camry SE or even a corolla as I can not wait another only gosh knows how long (on august 5, it would be 5 months since i made my deposit), if i no careful i go dey ontop dis matter reach half a year.

Apparently, it turned out difficult for him to get me the SE trim so i broadened the options to any clean model, so long i can just seal my order and forget about this little episode. Commuting has been pain lately, my order is probably another one of the numerous deals inspired has on his hands but it has really destabilized me in ways i cant start to explain on this forum.

I have been expecting to get a locally sourced LE trim he showed me last week but according to him, its still being cleared at the port. Inspite of all this hassle, I've been hesitant about making my deal with him public... One last thing however gave me the notchd... i noticed since yesterday or so..reaching him with my number has not been possible...(i could call every other person on every network on earth except his 2 lines). In frustrated mood, I was discussing this with a friend and he offered me his phone since mine just dey talk call ended, lo and behold it rang... I accused him of barring my number but he said he didn't. after the accusation however, putting calls through to his phone from my number became possible again..my ppl while i do not question oga inspired's legitimacy, a preorder saga like mine really leaves bad taste of the whole idea of paying anyone upfront for anything in the name of 'preorder' in the first place. All i am asking for out here in the open is for him to do something about my pending order, my bank account is very open to a refund at this pnt if he can't get me a car i find satisfactory... this option, I already made him understand too abi wetin una think? I trust him to do the needful soon and there shouldn't be any need for this thread being discussed for another plenty number of pages.
