OP a jug of Asaana and a bowl of Banku to you.

This is very abnormal.If this is no fiction or make up story.I will advise you to do this,discreetly bleep another girl-yes I said so and let's see if she finds out.If she does without you telling her, then she has some serious explanation to give me as regards the means she got to find out if not satisfied, my man you better run and I mean run and never look back.I will never be comfortable spending the rest of my life with such a lady.so strange.

Interesting. Are the body guards armed?imagine, they were also wearing a bullet proof vest and looking like Commandoes.Why not Chris put on one of the vest for double protection?Common this is Rediculous.

Hello guys,please take a chill pill.The opinion of one ex pilot, dele oke does not transend to the opinion of an entire tribe.As I speak to you there are some Igbos who will not be happy also.It all boils down to INTEREST.As for me,the coming of E.A is a welcome dev.my 2kobo opinion. Cheers.

It is no news that our President set up a Committee to draft modalities for the conveyance of the much talked about SOVEREING NATIONAL CONFERENCE. What will be your recommendation(s) to the committee?Who knows,your suggestions/recommendations may help in shaping Nigeria for the better.

Beer parlour gist

How about more Railtracks and Motorable Roads?let us learn to walk 'properly'before we sprint.

@OP there is absolutely nothing wrong with your observations.However,it would have been wrong if passengers were in the bus at that time . Could you have preferred an unmarked bus be used?perhaps your grudge was it was plying a public road . Again no crime was committed as long as there was adequate supervision.I see no crime bro.

Thnx paycharles let's be careful here.that guy could be buying not selling.looking at the second pix you will see the gallon raised,meaning he was trying to clear the content of the subtance from the gallon into the tank.the question I'll like the pose to the OP is did he actually witness the whole scene from the begining to the end or he walked into it, QUIKLY took snap shots not to be seen without grasping the through PICTURE?please let us be careful.he could be wrong.

Thank you God,thank you boys.

Jude33084 I absolutely agree I fell that time, but I have just one information for you and your boys,come this Saturday I will be passing that same route enroute Lagos.Please be there.Then you will confirm how dull I am

After marrying my brand new wife on our way to the East in OCt 2010,on negotiating a bend somewhere in edo state,I suddenly saw some group of boys flag me down and asked me to clear off the road(big mistake on my part).They introduced themselves as govt workers and asked for my radio receipt or something of that nature which cost 25k.believe you me that those touts held me for close to 2hrs.after much negotiation and pleading I parted with 4k with plenty fried meat before I was let go.Next time I promise a part of their body will part not my cash.

If you are analytical and deep in thought you will know Sanusi is on drugs.yes.no sane man talk such.consequence management at play here.

Wait a second guys.This appointment in my opinion is just a smoke screen for what has happened or about to happen.A foolish thought up plan from a no-brainer. An alibi for embezzlement if you ask me. Possible reasons for appointment- 1. In a couple of years to come, if paradventure a snoopy journalist questions her financial position .The ready answer will be.I was once a PERM SECRETARY. 2. GEJ. Wants one of 'his own' to be close to the govt of the day in Bayelsa for reasons best known to him.I will not be surprised he is positioning her to be the governor of the state(he dos'nt give a damn). 3. GEJ is foolish enough to think Nigerians will appreciate the appointment.i.e it will sound nice for people to see or hear that for the first time in the history of our country,the first lady is a 'civil servant'. or lastly(though this may surprise me).He has plans to scrap the office of firstlady.Believe me the appointment is not for the emolument or want for job.IT IS A SMOKESCREEN.

I am in one of the aforementioned coys.I know for a fact that at some point in time we were asked to vote for my coy for the awards.I guess our votes alongside other indices which I am not privy to was used.

so unfortunate.Information from the grapevine say the plane's tyres did not come out and the plane was in the air for abt 4 hours before crashing.My God.

When the gateman is an hausaman and the housegirl/Houseboy calabar/akwaibom.some will say truelife reflection.(No insult intended).(Baffling I heard someone say) When the Amaka's are directors,Producers,actors and stuntmen.(Classic I heard someone say) When the video is shot with a camcoder.(Apalling I heard someone say). When u knw the end from the begining(Divine I heard someone say). When they call themselves Nollywood(copy cat I heard someone say)

I have been a regular visitor to Nairaland for the past 1year (as a matter of fact hardly a day pass by that I do not visit),though a passive contributor.I strongly believe that I am a gentleman(but for this instance) as I find it difficult to speak ill or hurt anyone,not even my enemies.Having briefly described myself,I want to state loud a clear to all Nigerians and the world that if per adventure I Happen to meet this "FREECOCOA" child. i.e a wild cat drags her to my doorstep or she happens to play and wander to my flat and introduce herself.Believe you me I will give her the beating of her life and shove her to her mother(if she has one).I have never seen anyone dead or alive who is this full of shit.lack of home training is written all over her.What a waste of space on earth. @ OP(back to my normal self) pardon my little digression from your post.Believe you me I have friends who came out with sergeant(that's what we call a 3rd class bck then)and are good administrators,business men and managers right now despite coming out with a" sarge".The point I am trying to make here is believe in yourself and find areas where you can add value to the society not forgeting urself.ALL THE BEST.

i have always been a fan of sls(right from his firstbank days).however,he got this one wrong.what was he thinking?

WITH DUE RESPECT TO "LEADERS" FROM THE EAST,ONE MAN I RESPECT(MIND YOU THEY ARE NOT MANY OUT THERE) IS ROCHAS.AS FOR ME HE IS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THE IGBOS CAN PUT FORWARD UNLESS SOMETHING "UNUSUAL" HAPPENS TO HIS PERSON WHICH I DOUBT.ANYWAY, GOOD MOVE BY HIM.WE ARE WATCHING.

funmi with our new I.G

if true great news,though belated.btw is the new chief  not the former cp of lagos state?i heard him speak after the unfortunate death of a young man during the removal of subsidy debicle,and i told my wife i wished all police men are this smart.believe you me while he spoke i felt like i was in a session with a psychologist.well,hope i was not taken for a ride.time will tell,

This man is a cold blooded animal.My hands are shaking as i type.My God,this man is heartless.On a new year's day.WHY?This man has shown that he is a liar,heartless,dull and insensitive.As i type on,I hear the voice of my baby in the background and I shake my head.I shake my head not because I will not be able to meet her needs;By God's Grace I will, but the millions of Nigerians out there who will be unable to meet their basic needs as a result of this unpopular move by this senseless and clueless man.

For God's sake is this man not a PHD holder.Must he take all he is adviced by I.M.F hook, line and sinker?Does he not know that the price of everything in the market will double-talk of common sense.Where will Nigerians get the money from?Not having implemented the meager 18,000naira minimum wage.This unpopular move will lead to an increase in corruption,poverty,arm robbery,vandalisation of our pipelines amongst other vices.

I have never been as angry as I am this year(lol).PLS LORD WHY DO WE GET SUCH "RULERS"?,WHY ARE WE UNLUCKY?

All hands must be on deck.

Go back to the drawing boards

Did anybody hear at 1:26 where he said "Hello" and someone replied "Hi baby"? or did I hear wrong? Now that's hilarious - romantic love for the pastor

maybe na his wife

it is unfortunate that Mr. president is not getting the right advice,he is not truthful or both.He is putting the cart b/4 the horse.For starters Nigerians have been deceived,lied upon and cheated in the past by "OUR RULERS".What he could have done on resumption of office to date is to try "bring confidence".Though dauting a  task.mind you I did not say "restore" because the confidence has never been there.though "worse of" at the moment if my memory does not fail me.

Now someone somewhere will ask,how can he "bring confidence"?.fix our dilapidated infrastructures for starters,show "serious" fight against corruption,build and allow institutions work as they ought to.Then i can take a vacation and mobilze for support for him in any new policy he brings to the table.

BTW why the consultation with bodies now?(after submitting "his" budget".talk abt "advice",talk abt putting the cart b/4 the horse.CONFUSSION

just finished eating roasted yam with palm oil(ukpaka inclusive)

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.AS FOR THE SHARES OF YOUR LATE MUM,IF SHE LEFT BEHIND A WILL,FORWARD A COPY TO THE REGISTRARS INVOLVED ALONGSIDE YOUR LATE MUM'S DEATH CERTIFICATE.THE NAME ON THE SHARES/DIVIDEND WARRANTS WILL BE SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED TO ADMIN ESTATE OF XXXXXXXXX.(YOUR LATE MUM'S NAME).SUBSEQUENTLY PROCEED TO THE BANK OF YOUR CHOICE AND OPEN AN ESTATE A/C (REQUIREMENT BY THE BANK INCLUDES A COPY OF YOUR LATE MUM'S WILL OR PROBATE,DEATH CERT AND THE USUAL KYC DOCUMENTS)

HOWEVER,IF YOUR LATE MUM DID NOT LEAVE BEHIND A WILL,PROCEED TO THE NEAREST COURT AND REQUEST FOR A PROBATE OR LETTER OF ADMIN.THE COURT NORMALLY MAKES THE SPOUSE(IN THIS CASE YOUR DAD) AND ONE OF HER CHILDREN BENEFICIARIES.

HAVING DONE THE AFOREMENTIONED,ALL SHARES/DIVIDEND WARRANTS CAN NOW BE ACCESSED BY THE BENEFICIARIES I.E SHARES CAN NOW BE SOLD BY THE BENEFICIARIES OR DIVIDEND WARRANTS PAID INTO THE ESTATE A/C AND BENEFICIARIES CAN NOW WITHDRAW.

ALL THESE MAY SEEM A LONG SHOT BUT THIS IS ONE SURE WAY.
GOODLUCK.

Works Minister, Mr. Mike Onolomemen, said recently that the Federal Government would re-introduce toll-gates on the nation’s highways early next year. He made the announcement when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Works, saying the decision was to boost efforts at revamping road transportation in the country. We do not hesitate to condemn this ill-motivated and clearly unreasonable decision.

At a time most Nigerians are complaining about the deplorable condition of our roads, it is unconscionable that the solution that would be proffered is to further tax them. If there were serious thoughts behind the idea, it should be obvious that there are no roads worthy of putting toll gates on in the country today and to erect such at this period is to further expose road users to unnecessary danger while corrupt officials feed fat on their misery. It is all the more curious given that it was only about seven years ago that President Olusegun Obasanjo dismantled the toll-gates at a whooping cost of N360 million of taxpayers’ money. Now, Onolomemen wants to spend N1.3 billion that is better deployed to repairing the roads into erecting another set of tollgates.

There are certain questions which Onolomemen must answer before he proceeds with this scandalous action. First, what has changed between January 2004 when President Obasanjo dismantled the toll-gates and now such as to necessitate their reintroduction? Why must the citizens be burdened with extra taxes just as the government has concluded plans to remove fuel subsidy on petroleum products while at the same time raising electricity tariffs? Beyond raising money which will largely be unaccounted for, has Onolomemen considered the traffic bottle-necks that will arise as a result of erecting toll gates on roads that have too many craters and potholes?

Has government even considered the negative socioeconomic knock-on effects of the idea? In any case, if previous experience were any guide, a large chunk of the revenue to be generated from the tollgates will end up in the pockets of corrupt officials! It is noteworthy that the Federal Ministry of Works has on an annual basis voted billions of naira for the repair and maintenance of the nation’s highways. Yet at the end of each year, the state of the roads had become anything but better. In fact, almost without exception, all federal roads have become veritable expressway to eternity as several road users perish on them on a daily basis.

Notorious among them are the Shagamu- Ore-Benin road, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano- Maiduguri road, Mokwa-Jebba-Ilorin road, the Okene-Lokoja-Abaji-Abuja road, not to talk of the washed-off Onitsha-Enugu road and the Enugu-Port Harcourt road. How then can any self-respecting government be asking Nigerians to pay tolls on these same death traps?

Although the Minister’s proposal received an approval-in-principle from the Senate Works Committee chairman, Senator Ayogu Eze, it is instructive to note that Eze went further to qualify his committee’s support by saying government should construct “alternate routes” for those who do not wish to pay tolls on the “well maintained, faster expressways”. As altruistic as Eze’s suggestion may sound, we consider the whole idea as an exercise in self-deceit. Eze is yet to explain how a government that is incapable of maintaining the existing roads will embark on the construction of “alternate routes” for people who do not wish to use tollgates. Where will the money come from?

On the whole we consider this idea of bringing back tollgates, especially at this period, not only provocative but very insensitive indeed. We therefore urge Onolomemen to shelve the plan and concentrate on the maintenance of existing road networks without subjecting the forlorn citizenry to yet another avoidable burden. If government is truly serious about generating funds to run its affairs and meet its minimum obligation to the people, may be it should start by scaling down the monumental waste in the system. Reintroducing the tollgates is a revisionist policy that is both illtimed and ill-advised. We reject the idea and ask all Nigerians to resist any such move
