It will take me a while getting back to blogging. This is not the logo of the puzzle but can work as an online alternative for now until I am ready to post the monthly sample and cover.<br />

First I have to get the hang of it again, and read up all the new terms and conditions blogger has.
But it will be randomly themed. Can be gotten monthly or quarterly, even though I have actually planned making it a monthly publication.
What will be posted on the blog will be one sample page and maybe the cover.
It may or may not appeal to you.
If you are interested you can send a feedback in the comment section.
When it comes to the puzzles, forget the disclaimer on the page. All of them are created by the blog owner, unless it grows to where readers want to add theirs.

Fine I hope.<br /><br />NYSC to cut down the number of graduates to serve this September, Read <a href="http://www.tribune.com.ng/12072007/news/news8.html">here</a>. There have been protests against this, such as this one <a href="http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article23/170707">here</a>.<br /><br />I think everyone eligible to serve should do so. If there is not enough funding as claimed, maybe the time for service should be reduced from 1 year to 6 months, or better still to just 1 month of camp alone.<br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />PS.<br />Sorry I haven't been updating this blog.

Sometimes they laugh and tell me they won’t throw me off, or just nod their heads. But yet, I have to continually keep tapping them and telling them to keep their stunts on the down low…”Oga, no throw me for ground oh?” Some of them actually slow down, while some of them continue moving recklessly and no amount of shouting will make any difference, like the one I was on yesterday, that had me ducking poles hanging out of a truck (like he couldn’t calculate that the poles hanging out weren’t higher than our heads…yeah right!!).<br /><br />Oh, and they move in both direction even on one way roads/lanes!<br /><br />I think okada’s should have their own lanes on roads, especially those areas with heavy traffic. It would reduce accidents and near-accidents on our roads.<br /><br />What do you think?<br />Should lanes for okada be considered when designing and constructing new roads and also when expanding some of the existing roads?<br /><br /><span style="color:#330099;"><strong>Have a wonderful weekend!!!<br /></strong></span><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791702943009650487.post-8183900709509231732007-05-31T13:56:00.000+01:002007-08-19T18:19:26.801+01:00In Pictures (1)<strong><span style="color:#000099;">Port Harcourt City</span></strong><br /><br />On a day Aba road was completely blocked and people walking were even moving faster than those on okada.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3s6FYcz27wGAoh7y3NB0mrqVyFa0bXiKQlAuEZvJVR1H6FeaneM_mNi6QU5vwFS1eHyQbGYZ4scMItsn_6LBAREgsmze9-FrZ_VY1fAdRY8-cOXtzQKkHFDpTLceBJDRq_SDbzB44Q4/s1600-h/100_1928.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070694011242604674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3s6FYcz27wGAoh7y3NB0mrqVyFa0bXiKQlAuEZvJVR1H6FeaneM_mNi6QU5vwFS1eHyQbGYZ4scMItsn_6LBAREgsmze9-FrZ_VY1fAdRY8-cOXtzQKkHFDpTLceBJDRq_SDbzB44Q4/s400/100_1928.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Guys & Girls forgive me, for I can't remember whether this is Rumuokwuta or Rumuokoro.

I guess its from all the million bites (I exaggerate..lol) a few weeks back. Feeling much better now, but my mouth is still bitter.<br /><br />Even though NUPENG and PENGASSAN have suspended their strike according to <a href="http://www.fxstreet.com/news/forex-news/article.aspx?StoryId=b5d567a3-cca2-4bb7-b2aa-b5d2e8c9933f">this</a>, the cost of transportation is still about 2 times what it should be. Taxi drivers will tell you they are still buying fuel for 150 naira, instead of 65 naira per litre.<br /><br />If you were, and are still frustrated with the last Nigerian elections, check out <a href="http://nigeriancuriosity.blogspot.com/2007/05/nigerian-proclamation.html">The Nigerian Proclamation</a> by Solomonsydelle. You can also read her epilogue on the proclamation <a href="http://nigeriancuriosity.blogspot.com/2007/05/epilogue-proclamation.html">here</a>.<br /><br />I leave you with Whitney Houston's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZnub4GmaPg">"Exhale"</a>, because it just captures my mood now.<br /><br />P.S.<br />Picture post coming up next....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791702943009650487.post-54758157358113920102007-05-25T06:27:00.000+01:002007-05-25T07:21:20.216+01:00Let's talk NIGERIA (3)Following Snazzy's <a href="http://naijanaz.blogspot.com/2007/05/five-questions.html">footsteps</a>, I have a few questions today.<br /><br />Is Nigeria slowly being sold away, in the name of privatization?<br /><br />Last week 60% of Ajaokuta Steel Company was sold to an Indian company - Global Steel Holding Limited (GSHL), <a href="http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/business/article02/230507">Read here</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/article07/180507">Click here</a> to see other recent sales of public companies by The Bureau for Public Enterprises (BPE).<br /><br />Wouldn’t we want them back some day?<br /><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"><strong>Have a wonderful day!</strong></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791702943009650487.post-8427226249112630932007-05-21T21:42:00.000+01:002007-05-21T23:42:33.746+01:00So how is Naija?I don’t know where to start from?!?!<br /><br />Ok, I’ll start with the mosquitoes. They just felt they had to welcome me in every city/state that I stepped foot in. Lucky for me, now they don’t even bite again :-). I guess either they now see me as old blood, or they think I’ve gotten the message on taking malareich and amala (Malaria drugs) constantly/periodically...lol...And it used to be fansidar or metakalfen before oh!<br /><br />I think the population in Port Harcourt (PH) has doubled in the past 5 years. Traffic is crazy most of the time [We need more roads in PH]. It's been over a month now, and I haven't summoned up the courage yet to start driving because almost everyone drives crazy - The big lorries hardly ever stop (they just keep blowing their horns and bullying smaller cars out of the lanes they are in or completely off the road...lol), the other motorists drive with rage, and well, our okada people are the worst out of the lot. Rough as they (okada) are, I sometimes prefer moving around with them, rather than spend 2+ hours in traffic, even though my sister keeps warning me not to use them at all {I hear, I hear :-)}. And to take a drop in PH, those taxi drivers think we are all oil workers :-(, or they size you up and name ridiculous prices.<br /><br />But seriously with the way most Nigerians drive, don't you think we should be doing some extreme sports....LOL.<br /><br />As for PHCN they are still holding POWER at least 70% of the time. I hear we are still waiting for the completion of the gas turbine in our area - ok oh! Meanwhile the power supply in the village (at least my village) is more constant.<br /><br />Ok People, I have to stop here for now. Will do a picture post next time.<br /><br />I leave you with "Obodo" by RAW featuring Klint the drunk.
