Continues..
B4 we left, they gave M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ brother and i a bag each to carry, ​S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ as we were standing with one of the Robbers not carrying a Gun, remember the one with a gun, was a few feet away from us, satnding in the middle of the graded road. ​S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ ℓ̊ told M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ brother in our dielect that this is it. Its time, that if ℓ̊ run to the other side, he shld run in opposite direction. ℓ̊ used the Bag ℓ̊ was holding and ℓ̊ hit, the guy standing with us and ℓ̊ took off. Ran for hours in the forest, avoiding any Trail. At a point ℓ̊ completly, lost track and bearing. Was supposed to be heading for the expressway. Note that, at this point ℓ̊ didn't know if M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ Brother also ran or what has happened to him.
In the forest, ℓ̊ met a lunatic, who ℓ̊ begged to show ♍e the way to a village, that was another long walk, for close to 2 hours he was just taking ♍e from one point to the other. ℓ̊ had no choice but  stick with him.
At a point we met a Fulani man, luckily for ♍e, ℓ̊ speak housa. ℓ̊ started begging and explaining to him what happened. Told him to take ♍e to their camp, which he refused. Long story short, he showed ♍e bush part that lead to village. Got to the village, met the vigilante group, that almost shot ♍e.
But thank God, was able to make calls. And ℓ̊ was rescued the next day.

When ℓ̊ look back on how it all went down, and how ♍e and M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ elder brother were abducted, and how it all ended ℓ̊ give God the Glory. M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ elder brother was on his way to Benin from Lagos on Sunday when he had an accident b4 Ore. ​S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡, on Monday we went to Ore to recover the car.
We were driving slow, he was in front while ℓ̊ was driving in M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ car behind him.
Few minutes after Okada, a gang of 3 armed Robbers blocked the way and we were forced to stop.
They marched us into the Forest, walking for close to one hour. On getting to their camp in forest, we met about four Victims lying down already. The Robbers/ kidnerpers are a group of 4 young Boys, non more than 30yrs of age. And they had 3 Cut to size, Locally made Guns. At a point they took M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ BB fone, and where asking ♍e questions. Please note that this is an abridged version of the story. At a point, they asked ♍e and M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ Bro, to lie face down, and they used a wrapper to cover us. At this point ℓ̊ noticed they were taking the other 4 victims away, Leaving 2 of their members with us.
ℓ̊ told M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ Brother, speaking in M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ dielect that we hv to Run away, that ℓ̊ can't be here, until after M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ wedding. He adviced that we shld wait until it was dark. We were actualy abducted at about 5pm.
U̶̲̥̅ can imagine what M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ wife to be was going thru when she lost contact with ♍e, because all the while we were constantly talking on the fone.
Luckily for us, they decided to move us to another place. Now only one of the 2 kidnerpers had a gun. When we got to a graded Road in the forest, a pipeline passes thru there, that's why ℓ̊ believe it was graded, the one with a Gun, walked to the middle of the road to view, if anybody was around before they will cross us to the other side of the road. That was when we made our move. Will continue shortly.

Politics / 5 Lagos-bound Passengers Kidnapped At Benin-Ore Sagamu Road by pedestal82(m): 8:52am On Mar 01, 2013
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/03/kidnappers-abduct-5-lagos-bound-passengers-along-benin-sagamu-road/

BENIN — ABDUCTION of persons by suspected kidnappers has taken a new worrisome dimension in Edo State following the kidnapping on Wednesday morning of five Lagos-bound passengers by gunmen on the Lagos-Benin road near Ogbemudia farms.

Vanguard gathered that the passengers were among occupants of a Greener Line space wagon Siena bus travelling from Warri, DeltaState to Lagos when they ran into a barricade along the Benin-Ore- Sagamu-Lagos road.

The suspected kidnappers were said to have blocked the highway with a truck, and the bus driver on sighting the barricade, slowed down.

Soon after, some gun-totting men were said to have emerged from the bush and took the passengers hostage after allowing the driver and one passenger to go and give information about the incident.

It was further learnt that one of the victims who lives in Lagos, was said to be returning to the state after a naming ceremony of his new-born baby in Warri when he was abducted along with other passengers.

The father of the victim, a retired army colonel, told Vanguard that the kidnappers had made contact and demanded N3 million ransom to set his son free, even as he pleaded with them to release his son unhurt, saying that it was difficult for the family to raise the amount they demanded.

When contacted, Edo State Police Command Acting Public Relations Officer, Awhara Ejiroro, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.

Sports / Re: Keshi Is Satisfied With Result Against Zambia by pedestal82(m): 2:17am On Jan 26, 2013
Keshi shld shut the F up, he placed us in this situation by his selection dicisions from the start of this tournament. Why do I say so ? Our defence! Efe Ambrose is a Central defender, he played him as a 2, that was how he got a red card, Yobo was supposed to be on the bench, efe pairing up with oboabuna, and omeruo playing the right back position. This sentimental selection, in the first match spilled into the second match because that's the reason why Onazi had to come and play, the right back position, with Efe serving the match ban. Onazi out of position gives away a penalty, wrong decision or not. Keshi is to be blamed! In the first game, if he must play yobo, then omerue shld have played his natural right back position, and efe ambrose on the bench.

INNO18: To think that a wedding of this Class was pulled off successfully without any security hitch in Nigeria's Afghanistan(Maiduguri) makes room for some answers. Why would Boko haram spare an 'Unislamic Gathering' like this one, and go blow up a Church? Later some one will say the group is not politically motivated. Anyway, make e no be say i be bad belle, happy married life to the beautiful couple
If am not mistaken she is the Daughter of Ali modu Sheriff, Boko originator, so its gonna be hitch free of course! And look she is not covering her hair self! I agree with u bro.

Pastor Kun:

The morning tells how the day is going to be. Corruption today is unprecedented in Nigerian history with the tacit connivance of the presidency. It can only get worse as he owes too many political obligations and he is desperate to return in 2015 which can only mean more money would be stolen to support his political ambition. As I said in my OP I voted for him and wished him well but it's now clear to me that GEJ is going to lead us nowhere in this country.

@Ur parable, True, but not always true.

Family / Re: My Husband And Mother In Law Are Very Close that it makes me uncomfortable by pedestal82(m): 9:13pm On Dec 22, 2012
Yahaya: Hello, Lady, and all other ladies reading this.

DID YOU MARRY YOUR HUSBAND INTENDING TO SEPARATE A MOTHER AND HER SON ?.

They have been maternally married at least over twenty years, before you came into their lives.

There can always be an EX-WIFE, but never an EX-MOTHER.

SHAME ON YOU !!!

The only time you should be uncomfortable is when your husband is too close to YOUR mother, that intimate closeness is never condemned nor even mentioned in any holy book, and that is why so many mothers-in-law between ages 37 to 45 are now carrying babies that ACTUALLY and BIOLOGICALLY belong to their sons-in-law.

Forgive me, Oh Lord, I have swam in that river before, but You are my witness, my Lord, I did not ask for it, even if I didn't swim then, I would still have been drown anyway.

That is what always happen when an actively functional mother-in-law visits her daughter and her husband in a country where the distance is too far for her to go and fetch for her own outside the confinement of the daughter's home which is often like an imprisonment. Let us ask any of them that spent some times visiting in the USA.

But, to confess, It was sooooo sweet indeed then, I will do it again, if she ever has enough money for flight ticket again. The sweetest affair is the ugliest ones that both parties can NEVER publicly announce.

Greetings.
U Loco man
