KenOne:
Congratulations! Hope all of us shouting congratulations will not say nepotism and favouritism when we hear another news like this from another tribe.

The one I am against is PDP members making their siblings, relations, wives and friends judges.

Like we saw with Nyesom Wike of Rivers half of the judges and magistrates in Rivers are married, children or relations of PDP members.

PDP members from Rivers their wives and children are judges and magistrates

Wike
Austin Opara
Ken Chikere
Peter Odili
Chukwu former PDP state working committee
Onuoha
Roseline Konya

Douye Diri of Bayelsa state is doing same thing.

Judiciary is gone at least PDP killed it.

You understand this forum well. Only if they were from the north, you will hear nepotism, favoritism, quota system and what not from the same people congratulating them. I hate hypocrisy

It is quite astonishing how these people have refused to take their extremism to China. They rather franternize with china or turn a blind eye to the many persecutions and atrocities committed by the Chinese government against Muslims there. In contrast they make attempts to kill the westerners who allow them access to good life. The Talibans are closest to the Chinese now and don't give a damn about anything. What an irony

MartinCorridon:
I am high on your wife's pussy juice.

I disagreed with you... you complained.

I now agreed, yet you're bleating like a goat.

What's really your problem?

Your Mkpuru is very strong. Who do you?

MartinCorridon:
Drink cold water and stop getting your panties into a twist.

OK, the approach is advisable, eh?

Happy the neighbour survived the ordeal.

who said the approach is right? Hope you are not high on Mkpuru? Read the story very well

MartinCorridon:
A link would be helpful.

Link of what? I am narrating my first hand experience with my next door neighbor and you are asking of link. I didn't pick what I said from a news outlet

MartinCorridon:
Well...Great Nollywood script.

Unfortunately, these useless guys would just keep the women as sex slaves... and then kill them.

Not an advisable approach. They are heartless.

This is no Nollywood, it is something as real as you typed above. And please stop watching too much Nollywood, it is making you think everything that happen in life is Nollywood

Compliments of the season Nairalanders.

This evening I was reading a piece somewhere, of how a brother to a kidnapped victim asked the kidnappers to kill the brother after they demanded 100 million naira and he could raise only 1 million. Then, I remembered a similar case sometime ago.

I had a neighbor from one of the North central states married to a woman from the north west. The woman had a grown up daughter from her previous marriage with someone else.

The daughter also got married and lived in Abuja with her husband and two kids. On this fateful day, a family member was having a wedding in Kaduna and the lady left Abuja with her two kids for the wedding in a family friend's car. After the wedding ended, they were coming back to Abuja and the unthinkable happened, all of them were kidnapped on Abuja-kaduna highway.

Then, the negotiations began. A call was put through to the woman's husband in Abuja demanding ransom. The man explicitly told the bandits how he was grateful to them for kidnapping his family, that as a matter of fact it is a favor for him. He lamented the pains he goes through to finding food for the family and what not. He finally told them to never call his number again with serious warning.

The lady's mum here in Lagos (my neighbor) was informed and the woman was in serious distress, just crying. The woman's husband said he did not have such amount of money for ransom, that afterall the husband of the kidnapped lady does not care too. The kidnappers called again and the lady's husband warned them once more and blocked them.

After some days, the kidnappers released the woman and her children to go. They asked her the kind of useless husband she married, that she should go and meet her useless husband.

The lady now refused to go, that she doesn't know her way, they must release the man that was taking her to Abuja or she is not going anywhere with her children. The kidnappers now released the man too to take them away. Funny enough, the woman returned to her husband's house and is still there with him.

I am not sure if this kind of approach will discourage kidnappers. Some have already resorted to dismembering and selling victims body parts to ritualists if money is not paid.
It may work for others while it may not work in some cases.

TheDemola:
I just tire. They see genuine name and address, yet they're still saying it's fake.

OP, I guess you studied engineering? This is definitely the recruitment drive for engineering graduates from 2019. They probably got your info from your school

It is quite unfortunate, I don't know what people gain from saying things they know next to nothing about. The guy has an opportunity now, if he likes he should let ignorant people ruin it for him.

flyinnizam:
Please signify if dangote refinery sent you this email. Some of you might know me as hunter brother.

OP, disregard any fears that people are instilling in you here, prepare very well and come for your test. You have an opportunity now, try your best to grab it. The test venue is genuine and exist physically on Oba-Akran, it is one of the biggest factories in Ikeja industrial layout. I live close to the layout and knows it very well. As a matter of fact, I passed their gate some 20 minutes ago.

bobo65:
Obviously fake

Run from anything interview at Oba Akran

Except u want to be marketing supplements

Why do some of you talk quick like this? The address given is very genuine and is a big company on Oba-Akran. I live close to it and is my daily route so I know the area very well. OP, prepare and attend your test without any fear

Curious345:
Lol..
NIGERIA is on auto pilot .
nothing is working . Of course weso not have A commander in chief.

I repeat nothing is working . Corruption is at its peak ..

If the fire service cannot put out fire after 24hrs , so tell me what hope is left ....

we are at a cross roads...

Our emergency services are very poor, however, some fires even in a building, not wild fire o, can burn for that long with best equipment and capacity to fight it. I still remember Notre Dame in France like yesterday

Omihanifa:
I currently live with two benue girls (Tiv) in my compound and I can tell you for free that they are shameless, very promiscuous, and uncivilised.

Sleeping around means nothing to them( they do it without shame,) like they can sleep with you just to buy basic things like toothpaste, fill gas, etc

They are experts in child marriages, their women (45-65) sleep with younger guys

My friend once forked mother and daughter (Tiv tribe) in Benue state for less than 4k and they both knew

Honestly something needs to be done to to salvage that tribe

You people just take your experience and generalize. Mention your tribe here and someone can say his experience with them which maybe worse than what you are narrating here

BITTEREX:
Firstly, i'm not a tribalist. But i've been hearing alot about these set of Ladies from Benue especially the ones from idoma, till my first hand experience with one. They are indeed good cooks , no doubt very homely...

But the koko now be say, most of their marriages don't last , the men are unstable womanisers in marriages and the women are also very promiscuous, most of them abandon their homes .. Very few stay and keep the home together , while their men keep sleeping with many women like 2Baba.. lol

The girl from Benue i once dated has 4 sisters , 2 of her sisters took their children and left their husbands in less than 3yrs, the 3rd sister does hook up and is always going after her sister's boyfriends .. sending nudes to them and all manner of sodomy.. the 4th one has been doing hook up too, til she got pregnant by a man at 20 and the man had to forcefully marry her . The marriage is less than 7months, it may not last, rumours has it the child doesnt belong to the man.

Now, my Ex has been jumping from one short lived relationship to another after cheating on all her ex lovers in the name of survival .. Her relationship is strictly transactional... Once u stop providing or start asking questions, she leaves cruelly ... to sum it all , their mom left their father because he was polygamous and promiscuous , also she didnt want a man to control her.. lol

I didnt draw my conclusion from just my experience with my ex and her family.. But i also grew up with a family from Benue , i lived with them for 2yrs , i noticed the pattern and it's been exactly same occurrence and experience...

There is a high rate of narcissism in this people...

modified: I'm not generalising or condemning all men and women from Benue.. But if you wanna marry from there, you should investigate the family properly, don't ignore the patterns and red flags, genes dont lie...before dem go do u strong thing wey go shake ur foundation and liver..

Your assertion is a reflection of the society generally. You can encounter such with any tribe in Nigeria. For your information, anywhere you want to marry, do due delligence, not only from Benue

ThiagoKid:
"My girlfriend called me from office to come and fetch bathing water for her. I had to do it for peace to reign."

"I don't want any rancor between my wife, and i, so i had to beg her for sex. I did it to allow peace to reign."

"I had to watch all the dishes in the kitchen to allow peace to reign. I dont want my wife to wake up, and be shouting."

The abovementioned phrases are nonsensical and insha allah! Wtf?
See bro, if your wife doesn't want peace herself, why don't you take the vawulence back to her? Abi iro palapala wo niyen?

Why can't she allow peace to reign by compromising on her stand? Why must it be you? Osheeey, peacesetter.

See, i already preinformed my wife that:
If she nag, i'm sending her back to her father's house.
If she cheat, to her father's house
If she discomfort my mom/siblings, to her father's house.

I'm doing you a favour getting married to you. So?

Peace ko, wee-wee ni!

Well, what suits you. It is not as if you are the first person that will do it neither will you be the last, it doesn't make you the best or the worst person on earth, you will not receive award or recognition for it either. There are also many people doing the opposite of your opinion and the world has not stopped for anybody. I am saying this so that you will not feel you are the chairman or the real deal . It is just one of the lifestyles some people out of the billions of people we have on earth live So, we move.

Naija147:
At least it will be a gateway to peace

Haha, it is just an illusion, experience has taught us especially in this country that, we will yearn for them to be back after the next people come in

Hashabiah:
They should all get infected and die so we can have peace in this country .

unfortunately, if all of them die we will not still have peace. Infact if everyone in Nigeria die and leave only you, you will not still have peace. Their death is no source of peace

OfeAchi:
A lady friend of mine recently got a job offer with a multinational in Maiduguri. It comes with accommodation and take home is around 700k.
I advised her to decline the offer because from the news, those areas are hostile and there's a 75.65% chance a bandit would raape her or 80% chance she could be hit by a bomb.
She finally declined the offer and thanked me for saving her life.
I hope I did the right thing?

Na wao for you o, you should have just told her not to go. Why on earth are you manufacturing percentages? Your percentages are utterly false as far as the city of Maiduguri is concerned. Haba, she was not going to a place like chibok na. Many of you don't even know that Maiduguri as a city is safer than many other cities in Nigeria, the Concentration of forces there is second to non. When last did your hear security breaches in Maiduguri? I hate when people speak without adequate knowledge of what they are saying

Ekealterego:
My reasons are not far-fetched. The obvious conspiracies.

Where was the fire vehicle that was stationed there? Why did it go missing all of a sudden

How come there was no fire service throughout the duration. Even ordinary one room apartments, the fireservjve will at least pretend that they cared and would come later... What happened here in a busy place like that?

...and for the ethnicity, I hope you saw the video showing how Ebeano's business was burnt down right?

At the end of the day, it is the person at the receiving end feels it the most.

Well, I respect your opinion. However, I do not buy into these conspiracy theories. The emergency services in this country both on government and private levels are very poor. Maybe only Lagos has put up something a beat reasonable, though not enough due to the population here. As big as that place is, it may not have an internal fire Fighting mechanism such as a hydrant line, the entire structural design may not incorporate any fire proof materials. Same applies to Ebeano. We all saw how the fire started. Was there a political or ethnic conspiracy that made that child to start the fire? For all I care, the child was just having fun. The management on the other hand did not put adequate control measures in place, leaving an active gas system in place, well connected without adequate supervision of the area. By and large, very poor management of these local businesses is the cause of these. Again, for a store like that with a lot of combustibles, once you don't start fighting the fire at the insipient stage, forget it.
This can only be done when you have internal fire Fighting mechanism, considering how ineffective our emergency services are.

ppogba:
You forgot to add that people build billion naira businesses without any single consideration for Insurance. It will be a real miracle IF that premises is insured. Consider this, even FG and state government properties are not even insured. We do everything with power and political influence.
.

Very right, insurance is not a go to thing in this part of the world. People consider it a waste of money

GuyfawkesAB:
Simple sprinklers, they can't install in such a large place.

The owner, facility Manager and Abuja City Council infrastructure inspector are fools

This is it. People build multi million businesses in this country with zero safety and emergency procedures in place. You may not see a single hydrant line there, knowing fully well that public disaster management is a total mess in Nigeria, maybe apart from Lagos. Some urchins here are busy playing ethno polical card. The worst is most of this Nigerian owned businesses will simply prefer to bribe corrupt government officials when cutting corners.

Ekealterego:
I feel for all the people who depend on this single business enterprise to survive and to feed their family.
That baker who works there to pay for her kids
That flour supplier and the driver who will take the goods there
These people depend on this to feed their kids
What about the security men?
The stock people? the graduates? the cashier?
What of the suppliers?
What of the university student who depends on the proceeds their aunty or uncle is getting from this to survive in school?
What of the people who are doing one hustle or the other beside the shopping mall to survive?

These are all the people I am really sorry for... These are the people who will really bear the brunt.
I guess this is why many politicians, either with stolen or legit money build their investments abroad.

It is not because they do not know the importance of reinvesting in the country but they know that their business will be a target.
On the other hand, I hope this is not ethnically targeted arson. First, it was Ebeano, now this, all Igbo businesses.
I hope the owner insured the shop.

You don't even know what caused the fire but here you are doing propaganda of politics. Why are you people like this? Do you know how many businesses owned by people who are not politicians that have been burnt down? Must it be politics and ethnicity? It is a pity to have such a disaster but the some of you comments here are pathetic to say the least.

YorubaLord:
Who bears the cost? Lagos State Govt or him?

Just lavishing public funds like na dem papa money

he bought a bus for the public people like you with public money and you are are still complaining? What do you want him to do with the public money? Spend on private things? Supporting sports in his state should be commended, it is a way of empowering the youths

chloride6:
That is nonsense .

I wouldn't tag it nonsense because I am not in full knowledge of what necessitated that rule. However, it is a standard practice and students are well oriented on it before starting school fully. Once you are pregnant, you go home until after delivery which means you have lost a session automatically

chloride6:
A court will strike it down as unconstitutional and discriminatory.

Funny enough, that is the rule in all school of nursing and midwifery through out the country. I am sure they have a reason for that

airsaylongcome:
That is if they do their jobs to the letter. When they hide in dark corners waiting for traffic violators instead of being in the open to prevent the violations then I'd say they have a sinister motive. They play a positive role on the roads just like the Nigerian Police play a positive role in providing security. But like the Nigerian police, LASTMA has its very nasty, corrupt ridden side

Yes, I never doubted that. Just like any group of people, there are bad eggs in LASTMA too. However, side by side, their usefulness still outweigh the the lows. People complain of high-handedness of these officials which is true. We on our part cannot exonerate ourselves from the blame entirely due to our I'll mannered behaviors majorly of not obeying simple instructions.

airsaylongcome:
You said a few days. Do you know the brutal suffering LASTMA cause every Weekend where I stay? They turn of the traffic lights. Every damned Thursday and Friday, traffic lights don't work. They do that to create traffic that they can benefit from

Very strange and wondering how they benefit from such. Logically, it should be more beneficial for them head or tail when the light is one. The stress of controlling traffic manually reduced and also advantage of arresting/extorting impatient drivers running red lights is there. In my opinion, the advantages of having them on Lagos roads far outweigh the disadvantages

airsaylongcome:
The same LASTMA that switch of Traffic Lights on Thursdays and Fridays or another LASTMA?

Please dont argue what he said. He is spot on. The suffering I endured a few days after endsars mayhem when LASTMA was withdrawn for safety purposes is still fresh in my mind

The man is only increasing his troubles and level of punishment con extortion he will get with this act of foolishness

And people no get money, na so them go the talk o

Mftivi:
why e no-go new to you ?

Look the name very well o, PAKISTAN you wrote. If you wrote PALESTINE I will understand. It means you don't even know what you are accusing Israel of in the first place

Upworkwriter007:
U.S. is a bloody hypocrite. Saudi Arabia is commiting a serious human right violation is Yemen, yet they've said nothing. Not a single sanction. Same with Israel in Pakistan. It's not about human right abuse, they simply want to bully Cambodia into being an ally.

Israel abusing human rights in Pakistan? This news is new to me

I didn't often fight growing up. The only two I remember are

1. in JSS3. My troublesome friends were found of giving classmates insulting nicknames and making jest of them, of course they were bullies in their rights but I wasn't despite their efforts to make me one, including giving me fetish amulets for fighting. One day they gave a boy a name and the village peoplel just asked me to call the boy the name. That is how we fought and not surprising, the boy beat me up. I think my friends weren't around as they went on their usual womanizing during break. My only consolation was I was well liked by my teachers as a brilliant young chap then. The matter came to an English teacher teaching the seniors and he insisted we explain the issue in English instead of vernacular, men, that is where Wahala burst. The boy did not know how to speak as I explained mine without trouble. He was just mixing English and vernacular haphazardly. The teacher gave him some serious lashes and set me free, though telling me I was wrong but my English was good enough to save me.

2. This happened to my friend when we were in university. He was a hustler with his bike off study time. It happens our school was located in area with a military barrack. On this unfortunate day, my friend went hustling after classes and came back with an accidented like face. I thought he had a terrible accident. Alas it was a terrible encounter with some rogue military guys. My friend took a passenger and on the way, two guys in a hiace bus recklessly push then off road with them scrambling in a nearby bush. They came out and confronted the guys while they were casually talking to some people not minding what they have just done. When one of then would give attention to my friend who was angry with them, it was with a dirty slap to the face, my friend returned it with immediate alacrity as it is his custom with anyone that dare slaps him. The two came down and my friend passenger was willing to take on one while he takes the other. The men brought out their IDs as military personnel and my friend's passenger disappeared like magic, leaving him to face the two. They beat him madly and to worsen the situation, some of their colleagues were coming back from God knows where in a full truck and immediately join in the beating without asking a question. After further beatings, one of them asked them to pause for a moment and asked my friend what happened, he managed to explain to them and they asked him to take his bike and go while apologizing that, their colleague usually misbehaves when he smokes. That was when another round of war started, the man he initially slapped said over his dead body that my friend must come to the barracks with them. The other military guys forcefully held their colleague back and asked my friend to take his bike and run. I can never forget the pains my friend went through that day.
