a pothole deep enough to swallow up a truck

Some craters on d Okene Lokoja road...

jaymichael: You will sure make a fine writter.

thanks bro

hope it's true. we have heard contradictory statements from defence hq so much that I don't believe them no more.

ok, if it's true their "leader", d messenger, is dead, what about d message? he took over from d late Shekau who took ver from Mohd yusuf. who said another leader will not gather d scattered flock n start d terror all over again?

best to crush em totally now that they r down.

yorke1: Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no hurt. Enough said!

who is dis? touch not my anointed...? but "annointed" can preside over a "cover up" where over 100 lives have been lost?

enough said!

ochilikoko: how do you mean? It was stated vividly that Nigeria Government have submitted all th necessary documents and receipts to prove the legitimacy of the deal. I wonder y some persons wants to take this issue personal

Medicine after death.

There are standards for such transactions, n if they were followed,this embarrassment would never had happened.d govt is simply d most irresponsible naija has EVER had. Kai, Jona n his crew!

revelations!

Some political pastor he is!

Tentacles expanding into arms dealing...Wetin them talk about kingdom of God sef...and violence taketh by force! Guess he is arming up for the kingdom violence...

story for d gods...d video. if na so, all d buidings for airport for don collapse na. if common vibration from an aircraft will make a building cave in, then it was never structurally sound in d first place! dissapointed that they r pinning it down to d craft

Recently I have had a lot of business in Kogi state. Abd I can tell u all that my car has suffered.

A trip from Lokoja to Okene has become a nightmare.Not like Lokoja township roads are any better, but d fate of d federal highway from Lokoja to Okene can best be described as "abandoned" by Ferma.

D nightmare starts from Obajana junction. There are lakes n craters in d middle of d road, right at this junction where Dangote's articulated vehicles pour out into d highway.

Then comes d bumpy ride all d way to some pretty nasty craters after Irepeni, before Osara,at Itakpe, and some bloody ones near Abodo.

Now when u have entered outskirts of Okene, then comes d rivers. Fce Okene has some gullies that swallow up d tyres of articulated vehicles. From Bigh petrol station to " small gate" of Fce, to Gss Ogaminana, to petrojost filling station. its so miserable that it takes 30minz to drive btw fce and total junction, a distance of less than 10km.

Is Ferma asleep?

Transformation team should wake up!

will2lead: I appreciate you OP for opening this thread. You are citing this even as a passerby; just imagine the agony the residents of this area go through. As a matter of fact; I stay in that area and back in the days, from FCE second gate to Total is just 20mins; but now because of the VERY bad state of the roads; you could spend close to 1hr or more with your life so endangered because you are so scared of these big vehicles falling on your own vehicle. Now that I stay in lagos; I so dont enjoy going back home; because of that bad road. What amazes me most is the fact that; this said road is the only major road to the Federal capital territory; implying that so many government officials ply this same road almost on a daily basis as there is no airport between FCT and Kogi state; yet FERMA isnt doing anything to savage the situation permanently. Weather they are waiting for so much more lives to be lost (as it has caused many accidents and claimed lives of students of FCE, Okene) before they do something or maybe till it makes a bad news headline before they do something; I honestly have no idea. BUT THERE IS GOD......

my God! I passed d raod again last night...r these guys blind or what! d only road dat leads into d fct from d south?

from edo,benin,lagos,ondo, ogun,osun,ekiti etc, all converge on Okene at some point, on their way to Abuja! see how strategic this road is, yet govt have d balls to look d other way when d raod is in such a state?haba!

tivta: Could this be the same jet I saw on friday flying around the airport aimlessly? The colour is grey with a star on its tail, I swear when I saw this plane flying aimlessly for close to 30mins I was dead scared. Someone should pls list out the possible damage this plane can cause so that we all can be prepared to say our last prayer or run. This is not serious anymore it is deadly. If it means Johnathan should step down for peace to rain pls let him do so, he is playing politics with peoples lives oh. Am dead scared right now.

which airport are u referring to? yola?makurdi?or maiduguri?

Anything goes in this bloody country. my guess? plane has been tactically handed over to boko haram, since d naija military has d advantage of airpower, d boko sympathisers in d military want to restore parity...

[quote author=kaorama][/quote]site address please...so I can check too. thanks.

Wondering how u arrived at dis figure...

Naija, a place where anything goes.Even call up letters for a fee? Dg missed d point. Computerise d process all u want but at no cost to corp members., thats all nigerians r saying

BannyE: By Daji Sani :


The insurgents which had taken control of the two local government areas of the state and parts of Borno State were reported to have ran short of ammunitions, a situation which left them unprotected.

A source in the area said that on discovering that the insurgents were dearth of ammunition, the local hunters pounced on them and started killing them.

He said normalcy has begun to return in the affected areas as Nigerian Soldiers have recovered the local government areas from the insurgents.
/

Ran out of ammunition? Is BH gradually running out of steam? Last week they were forcing people to join their ranks, now running out of ammunition?

Respect to d Nigdrian military.....

damosky12: What do u think about Anthony Ujah so far?

Tony is banging in goals in Germany like madt! Hope he can replicate for . SE

Thought it's said advise to "married couples". All I see here is "men do this, men do that". No role for the woman, abi?

Am not a male chauvinist, I just think women should be told to get their sorry asses up n take some responsibility too for the outcome of their homes.

In naija d women are emotionally lazy!No money no love!

[quote author=Mynd_44]Erm.....is that not what banks are for? Keeping such amounts of money at home ain't even wise[/quote]"Such amounts" as u call it happen to be d proceed of a contract. U know how it is with business, u can hammer now and then not get a good deal for a long time.d money is meant to cover house expenses for a few months.

Truthfully, Alhaji himself is a cheerful giver, n may squander it if he attempts to manage it himself.

zainyrazzy: malama zainab since wen did muslim dnt patronize commercial banks dis is d first time am hearin dis I work in a bank and d most of our fattest accounts are own by alhajis, he just choose to keep dat money @ home in case of on foreseen circumstances.

D money at home is for upkeep. His wife was d custodian of such fund until few years ago.

D guy is not a moneybag, but can lay claims to a few millions n is comfortable.

He has opened a teenagers account with gtbank for his daughter and gave d atmcard to her.That was what I advised him to do.

Alhaji just called me asking if I was d one that posted his story on NL. Sounded upset at first, but likes d comments received so far. He promised to take over d story after creatin a NL account. Fictitious names, real life story.

jeffizy: I understand the idea of keeping the money at home since I can conclude they are Northerners.
But what I don't understand is why 'hajia' is not willing to change.
What will she do if there's no cash to fan her appetite?

Hajia is from a fairly well-to-do home.Never lacked trinkets growing up.
Alhaji is a "wasup" kind of guy.doesnt chase women, n doesn't subscribe to polygamy

Zeinab Badawi: Muslims don't patronize contemporary commercial banks cos they abhor interests. . .
But my question is why alhaji didn't stash his cash in a non-interest commercial bank!

He actually operates several accounts, some of which Hajia is signatory(corporate n joint accounts). D guy has been so nice to her, disclosing all his finances except of course small stashes here n there. D chunk with d daughter is one of such "grey areas".
She doesnt fail n d cash is always there when he needs. Doesn't have to take permission from Hajia who will always consider her wardrobe first

Recently ran into a senior friend and we had an interesting time.He is sending his daughter to boarding school, and I asked y he had not done that sooner. He replied that his daughter has been his "right hand since she was 9 yrs. But now she is in trouble with her mother.Its quite a long story.
His wife is a spendthrift. "Hajia has no control over how she spends money.If she sees gold, she is buying.Wrapper, she's buying.I can't plan reasonably." those were his words.
He said he started keeping money with his daughter who is a lot more disciplined.Said he first tested her with a few thousands of Naira after he discovered that she doesn't have her. Mother's ways.Then she was only 9 yrs old.he then graduated to hundreds of thousands.Hajia would rant on n on about needing money for this n that, but alhaji would reply "no money", knowing that it's safe with Hafsat-daughter's name.This was going on until last month-4 yrs later.
There was an emergency in the house and Alhaji had travelled.He was called about it, and guaging the need, he asked Hajia to give d fone to Hafsat.He instructed Hafsat to give Hajia N50k.THat was d beginning of d issue.Hajia calmly followed Hafsat to her room and ransacked d place.She found over N1m in different hiding spots.All hell broke lose, and Hafsat insisted she had not stolen d money.
Hajia waited impatiently for Alhaji to return n explain d situation.Ofcourse Alhaji told her exactly how much Hafsat had and why d money was with Hafsat.
Hajia never gave d money (over N1m) to Alhaji.She has also threatened that her daughter cannot live under d same roof with her anymore, that if Alhaji can't trust her with money, then it shouldn't be her daughter that wil be d alternative.Alhaji has no choice.Hafsat ended last term in a family friend's house.This January she'll resume to boarding school.She is currently in ss1 and is 14yrs old.
Hajia is very hot tempered, I met her once.Very unreceptive woman.
Question now is, can a husband trust a daughter over a mother in matters of finance?

[quote author=zomoears].

Ngokafor: Totally agree with you...as far as concerned,there is nothing like verbal abuse,cos it's all about perception.Reason why it's not against the law unlike physical abuse which is also assault and can land the perpetrator in jail.

Not true. Read a recent research that established conclusively that d human brain deals with emotional hurt in a similar it does physical pain. If this is true, then u can't quantify the amount of pain inflicted on d human psyche by people who verbally abuse others, unlike physical abuse where d wounds can be seen.

Think I can safely say that physical abuse is mostly inflicted by men, while verbal abuse by women. While d woman goes ahead to heal after treatment, d man sooner than later developes health issues like hbp,stroke et al that come with stress(physical or emotional).

Brokenbars: @Zomo, tanks though. while i was courting him, he wasnt dis family man. der wer tyms i presed him 2 open up to his family wen his biz colapse, wen we wer strugln. at tyms his family got 2 him through me. now God has blessed us & he is teling stories?

Confirms what I thought.reserved an withdrawn when he was struggling, n now open to his family after becoming successful? He is lookn for validation.probably felt small before now and feels d need to belong, using his success as yardstick. Dear, am not puttinh him down, am saying this becos I v Bn there n am stil there.i only started watching my tongue by October or so when someone cautioned me.previously I felt discussing my achievements n plans with my family n peers will put me on d map too.now am havin a rethink.

Guess my wife has been praying for me...lol
