Certainly there are very cheap hotels in Abuja. There hotel that costs as low as N400 a night with option of room service. E.g. More Life Hotel, Karmo; in this hotel u are only paying for the bed space. You will go the well to fetch ur own water in the morning, if there is any need for u to use the toilet then u must make do with the nearby bush.

Another one is the Emprest hotel in Wuse II by Chicken House, these people are magnanimous enough to charge per hour. So u can decide on the number of hours u want to sleep and pay for that.

There are many others in Nyanya, Mpape, Kubwa, Gwa gwa, Maralaba etc. Hope u find one without bed bugs

What yardstick did you use to authenticate your birth certificate?

Zahymaka,

TayoD  is absolutely right! Wheather you eventually believe does not matter again, because the Bible said that "heaven and earth shall pass away but every word of mine shall come to pass".  In effect, judgement day MUST come and you must answer for yourself. Deceide now bro and save your soul or continue to doubt and do research and regret in eternity.

Can someone tell me what AIT is upto this time?

If you are High Chief Raymond Dokpesi you will probably do da same thing. The soap is in hot deman by viewers, so no qualms for a 20 minutes repeat with advert slots. Prolong the soap - make more money.

Idekeson:
Youngies is very correct. His elder brother is the original Jay-Jay. That's why you have Emma Jay-Jay and then Austin Jay-Jay, by way of Mbanefo street, New Haven, Enugu.

As soon as I remember his eldest brothers name I will tell, but for the avoidance of doubt, as a kid then in New Haven, I know the three brothers very well. I know that Emma is the only tall one in their family; Augustine and his eldest brother is of the same height with bow leg. They lived in New Haven even after Emma came back from Algers '90 Nation's cup. It was after USA 94 that Augustine built his home in Independence Layout. The eldest brother was a civil servant with Railway, Enugu.

@welborn & kimba:
You may not really know this, you both are not saying all these on your own accord, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. As you already know, the fight is not against flesh n' blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness who masqurede as men using all available media (internet inclusive) to look for souls to kill, steal and destroy!

But I tell them one thing: "that He who is in me, is greater than that who is in the world"

@ wormedup
I agree with u to the extent that Jay Jay is a nick name, but the name does not belong to Emma like u said. We lived in the same street (Mbanefo) then at New Haven, Enugu.

Most people don't know that Jay Jay is the nick name of their eldest brother who once played for Railway FC in Enugu then.

Jay Jay being an Ogwashi man from Delta State, 'Okocha' can only mean: Nwoko (Man) + Ocha (fair, pure, light) = Nwokocha (light/fair/pure skinned man). Ibos are always in the habit of abbreviating names will rather call the name Nwokocha, 'Okocha'

@kajad

U hit the nail on the head bro. Hope she heard and will heed your advice

@ KingD
I appologies on their behalf. U have to understand that atime people break these good 'nasty' rules without knowing it. It is all about freedom. Sorry.

I think ur friend work should earn her the raise and not the number of months she has worked.
Meanwhile, if her work rate and output is high, she should be confident enough to let her boss know that
she needs a raise and state what is obtainable in the market on similar positions.

Hello mates,

I don't know but I am gradually getting tired of watching this soap. It seems to be getting bored. Does anyone feel the same way? Or am I a bore.

Hello fellas,
I have got episode 1-170 and the last episode. All i need is episode 171 - 220
If u 've got it, send it asap to dagger2me@yahoo.com
