*Peter of P,square is towing that same line, proposing to his GF of many yrs.
What do u learn 4rm this men? They have seen a lot of women in their life...yet, dey went back 2dt one woman who stood by Dem wn dey were nobody.
There is
nothing as sweet as d love of dt woman who drank garri with you, who slept with u on ur hard floor without a bed, who
endured all ur youthful mischiefs, who
didn't care what u had or what u didn't
have. Their love is pure, sweet and innocent.
They are obedient, considerate,
understanding, supportive, somtyms
stubborn but very submissive, why? Bcuz
they know what you went through to make it in life. When u tell a woman who knows hw u suffered to make it, to sit, she'll sit. She respects u:). She saw u become a man not b.cuz of wt she was told. She saw u struggle it out.
She is ur real wife!!so guys Pls lets stop CARO things :p cu'z ADA ADA is d woman 2 our life+

LASTMA - Lagos State Transport Management Authority

An Encounter with LASTMA (Lagos State Transport Management Authority):
If you reside within and around Lagos you would have seen the "Pseudo Traffic cops" popularly known as LASTMA Officials in their faded cream-coloured shirt and "red" trousers.

In as much as I agree these guys might be doing a good job in controlling the chaotic nature of the Lagos traffic situation, it has become obvious that the corrupt "settlement" fever has also gripped them. Little wonder the public don't respect them any more; and they in turn "deal" with any person that falls into their "hands" with their bluffs.

I fell . . .
I fell into their hands on Monday 3rd March, 2008. I erroneously made a u-turn on a road that had a very faint "solid-line" and without a "No U-Turn" sign as it were. Suffice it to say, one of the LASTMA guys "jumped" into my car.

Should I settle. . .
Shortly afterwards he informed me that if I was to get to their office at ALAUSA area of Lagos, I will be fined N20,00.00 (twenty thousand naira) for the offence. But that he will "HELP" me by asking me to give him just N5,000.00 (five thousand naira) to let me go. I'd already made up my mind not to give him anything since he failed to let me go after I pleaded with him.

My refusal to agree to this possible got him upset because he made sure I got to their Office at Alausa, where my was parked/impounded? (which from the list of bills should not be so).

Wrong bill
I was given a total fine of N4,000.00. The wrong u-turn had a N2,000.00, but because I failed to "settle" the guy, he got his boss to trump up another N2,000.00 fine that made the total N4,000.00 as I later got to see on the reverse side of the bill, and raised the issue of wrongful billing with the boss, only for him to say he couldn't change it.

Un-Receipted payments
I was then directed to pay the bill at a GTBank branch at Allen Avenue in Lagos (about 20mins away) then come back to the sub-treasury unit of Ministry of Transport premises, a stone throw from the LASTMA office Alausa to process the receipt, made photocopies, paid an un-receipted N500.00 for "Gate Pass", got a on-site vulcanizer to pump 2 of my deflated tyres at N100.00 per tyre (as against N40 each on the street).

A nearer GTBank
While at the treasury, I noticed that a GTBank office located within the Ministry premises and I wondered why I wasn't directed to the branch of the Bank instead going all the way to Allen Avenue.

The Bluff
Because the N5000-guy (I noted his name tag too) thought I was ignorant of the actual fine charged, he threw a scary N20,000 value at me so that I will negotiate with him. To which I called his bluff because I preferred paying the money to the State treasury instead of road-side LASTMA thief.

Ending the Mystery
In order to KILL the mystery about the FINES & PENALTIES BY LASTMA, I have placed LINKS in this write-up to a scanned photocopy of the fines as seen on the reverse page of the bill I was given.

I suggest you look through the details, so that as you try your best to avoid traffic offences, you will have the details of the possible bills you will pay when & if you flaunt one.

Drive safely.

Health and Fitness

What do we understand by Health and Fitness.
Why do we always neglect things we should do to stay healthy and indulge in habits that are detrimental to our lives.

Some of us try to stay healthy, but our lifestyles need to be modifies if we are to achieve this.

Lots of health complications usually arises from indulging in unhealthy habits. These include Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Conditions, High Cholesterol level, etc.

This can however be corrected to certain extent, but most physicians advocate that the person changes lifestyle. Such as stopping smoking, eating healthily, avoiding fatty food, body weight reduction, and so on, before drug treatment will be introduced along side.

The incidence of high intake of snacks from fast-food joints and eateries are avenues where fatty food, over-processed food, sugary-beverages, etc are taken in.

We'll discuss more later.

Cheers.
