...Sometimes things dont turn out the way it is planned......
.jpeg)
''Hi Stella,this incident happened today (this mail was sent Saturday evening) at Murtala Muhammed international airport.My friend was supposed to be on board Etihad airlines bound for Qatar.After doing the normal check in with airline and proceeding to the immigration spot which the cleared in.
At the boarding gate NDLEA demanded everyone should do a finger print on there newly acquired machine which he did and the machine signaled positive.He was taken into custody with two other guys who where supposed to be on same flight,though none of them knew each other. NDLEA requested that there luggage be brought down from the plane during which of one of those has some drugs in his bag.
After searching my friend and nothing was found they asked him if he takes any drugs or smoke marijuana he told them no but the hotel he lodged people where smoking marijuana there.They took his urine tested and it came out negative.He now demanded for his release since nothing was found on him and his urine tested negative which they refused.One of them requested he bail himself out which he refused.He has been at the airport since morning till now.
My question is why will you arrest someone for a substance he is not in possession with neither did he smoke marijuana or did any hard drugs?If i have to pass through marijuana joint before boarding a plane obviously i will be a suspect.
Things should be done right''
*Has your friend been released?
can you update us in the comment section?Thank you.
What happened is a pity
Ehn. Try again. The same thing would happen outside Nigeria. As long as the machine detects a trace, you are delayed until they are satisfied. Sucks but it's the law.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing wouldn't happen outside the country. Especially in developed ones.
DeleteWhen a trace is identified, the individual's person and luggage(s) will be searched but he/she will not be detained. Definitely will not miss his/her flight. Most definitely will not be requested to post bail.
Even if the traveller had used a hard drug or had it on his/her shoe soles (some club toilets we use have drug residues on the floors, you may step on them without knowing. I understand it is common in Ibiza), thus, triggering the machines, after a thorough search established the person is NOT IN POSSESION of any contraband, the person will be allowed to go. No flight will be missed. The episode will be merely frightening, inconveniencing and embarrassing. But, to reiterate, no arrest or detention or bail request or flight reschedule will be necessary.
When talking about human rights and international best practices, don't talk about Nigeria. If you've stayed stayed in the West or Europe for a significant amount of time, you'll understand.
Like say make I hug this anon 11.17am. People will come on here and say what they don't know. After thorough investigation, you are freed if nothing suspicious is found on you.
DeleteExactly anon 11:17. You've said it all. He can sue them if he knows his right because they've trampled upon his fundamental human right. What rubbish?
DeleteIf what u have narrated is true then woe betide them. This was the exact thing baba suwe experienced with this people. Till date they are yet to compensate him as demanded by the court of law. On the strength of this I can't even guarantee u justice even if u sued them. U go just waste ur money and time without getting what u deserve. I think the social media works magic in Nigeria today. Infact the judicial system took the back seat with the advent of social media. Na wa o
Ihekire Tony
ReplyDeleteYour friend should have bailed himself or did he forget here is Nigeria, where when money talks, the innocent is killed and the guilty is set free.
Na wa o. May God nt allow me enter trouble dat I didn't bargain for
ReplyDeleteNa wah oh.
ReplyDeleteThe total Nigerian system needs overhauling because the way they treat the citizens is nothing to be proud of @ll @ll
ReplyDeleteBV's I need help pls especially from the married ones...
I have been dating this particular guy for a couple of months now and it has been good till a lot off things set in here and there but that is not the bone of contention,the thing now is we asked a prophet to pray over his name to see if we we're compatible and all and lo and behold the man shattered my heart in pieces saying we are not compatible and in future he would leave me if he sees someone better I was amazed,with the pressure and everything I told him I wasn't intrested in the relationship anymore but mehnn it hasn't been easy had to call him yesterday to say I was sorry and I wanted him back and he said No we should stay as friends.Abeg,married BV's how many of you asked your pastors,Imans,alfas,prophets etc to pray before you got married to see if you are your partner were compatible? Because am at a point where am so confused...
Do what they say really matter? And has anyone been told not to get married to another person and she went ahead and did it? And how did it turn out pls...
I remember those times my aunt will force me to bring d name of my boyfriend for prayers, no matter the vision, I end up breaking up with them for one reason or d other until I got wise and gave her a fake surname dat I got married o.
DeleteI don't believe in anyone seeing any vision because there's nothing God cannot do.
Pray on your own too. Wake up and do midnight prayers and fast. I had others pray and they unanimously chose my husband. And none of them know each other! The marriage truly has been full of ups and downs and I sometimes doubt them. But I truly believe in my heart of hearts that this is the man for me. We were engaged in 3 months. Married in 11 months. I was about to marry someone else when I met him and I truly resisted the relationship but what is ordained is ordained.
DeleteSee as u just Went and bought wahala for urself and with Ur own money sef.
DeleteThese people u mentioned now,how are u sure dey are "true Men of God"
Dont get me wrong,i am not saying some arent true Men of God...
Why would u ask someone who doesnt know Ur partner or d history of Ur relationship to "pray" to see the future?! Cos Dats wot u just did.
Over worry and over confusión dey worry u.now d Prayer people said he is bad news and u called it off n Went back again,pleading.
We cause problems for ourselves sometimes o.
Nne,Biko next time,pray for a good Man.study him yaself,mix wit his friends n family to see how he is wit dem.den continúe praying,ask for God's wil to be done...His will n not Urs.and lest i forget,no sex...it tends to becloud some people's reasonings.Be confident in yaself n stop visiting sorcerers....no one can predict tomoro...
Good luck babes!
Foolish move. Couldn't u have asked ur God. Even at dt, prayers change tins. Be wise next time.
DeleteYou never ready.
DeleteU are a big fool...So mumu girls like u still exist? Next time when u want to go to toilet ask ur pastor ifbits ok to shit or not...Or better still ask himbifnu should breath or not...Low mentality at its peak!
DeleteU've lost dat guy for good
..Go and marry ur pastor..by the time you clock 40yrs unmarried u will start sending ur sob story to blogs...next willbe suicide....Mtcheeeeeeeew!
Don't let any pastor deceive u. 2 weeks to my wedding a brother gave me the phone number of a so called mama that I should call. I did and she asked me to pray that God wants to reveal somethings to me. I did and called her the next day and told her that God did not show me anything o. She now said my wedding will not hold bcos I was unable to get the revelation from God. I called her later in the day again and she picked and said she ll call me back. Till today she no gree call back n I went ahead with my wedding o. And they annoying part is that I heard she's a member of my church rccg
DeleteI don't understand...you went to a "prophet" to pray for you? what happened to your lips? Does the prophet have special access to God that you do not also possess? What happened to seeking the face of God and requesting for the answers you seek? Or you were looking for someone who "hears" from God; a one-fix-solution to your problem. Stop meeting these people, they are not there when he treats you like a princess, they are not there when you guys fight or quarrel or make up. You have same access to God...Ask Him. He knows all. He knows the end from the beginning. Why would you run to a mere human being for answers when God is there...The key to a successful marriage isn't marrying the right person but doing the right things. You can't control what the other person does or who he is but your actions and who you are. I'm married...it's a decision I still question but it's a decision I took, not influenced by a prophet or third party cuz at the end of the day, if I'm happy or sad the consequences of my decision falls back on me not some other person. that's too much power to give to an individual who had to input in your creation. I may be wrong but that's just my take on this...
DeleteTrouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am. Are there still gullible people like this?
DeleteThis would have been better if it was a post.
U nor serious at all. Like seriously?! No one can pray for u except you yourself alone. If you are very spiritual, you will see the signs. Nothing to tell. You again ohhh, you done already tell d dude off. Goodluck!
DeleteMy dear,if truly you believe in the man of God,pls listen to him,12 years ago when I prayed abt my hubby I was told he is a good man,BUT I should hold on that he isn't my husband,i was told this by my family pastor,i refused to listen and distanced myself from him,his reasons was,my hubby is likely to die young,in his 40's, and also that there was going to be delay in child bearing,fast forward to now,my marriage will be 11 years this december,i av never been pregnant for him for a day,he's alive and in his 40's, but after been married, I found out all his uncle's and dad died in their 40's too,i live in fear of the unknown,he's a good man,my biological clock iis ticking,tried ivf but I was told my age has started telling on me,the time I was young and had higher prospects, hubby was adamant that he won't have any form of assisted fertility treatment, that if he does,he won't have thanksgiving in church,it took us 9 years for him to finally agree to the idea of ivf,now the tables have turned and he wants me to go for egg donor,stating his mum and. My parents aren't young anymore,but all the while when he was the one that had azospermia,then gradually to low sperm count,he refused to do corrective surgery and assisted fertility,I was being the loyal and understanding wife that I didn't want us to have fights,and I couldn't leave too,cos of my xtian background, now it's payback time. So pls if you have been warned don't marry him,God will give you another man.
DeleteMy dear talk t God ursef.. Dnt depend on only wot d prophet said; he probably dint even hear frm God...
DeletePls what's the prophets contact and if any BV has a true prophets contact, pls share as well. Thanks
DeleteMy dear..My mom will always say "Brother" said this,brother said that when I was single..At a point,she wanted to know about the guys asking for my hand in marriage,"brother" prayed and did a random selection of one name...I didn't listen to her..And hubby was not even in the picture then!I knew there were underlying issues with them so the "brother" will not make those problems go away cos he automatically gives a go ahead order!
DeleteSister,i believe we have the ability to shape our future....we have the ability to pray too..If there are issues you are seeing now,please don't go in thinking it will disappear....It depends on how your faith big reach...if he asked you to remain friends with him,it means he believed the "prophet" too...
Next time,don't go looking for answers,pray for yourself dear
I hope the stories you read here are not contributing to your paranoia? Lol
Hmmmm.... Dear BV, I understand you perfectly(been there). In as much as it's a good thing to always listen to your pastor(if he's genuine), I'll leave you with an advice that has always worked for me: as you pray every day, ask God for wisdom,knowledge and direction! With these three things, you'll be able to differenciate evil and good... When ever I meet a man and we both fall inlove, I say this to God: "Lord, if he isn't from you, let him be the one to walk away" and if he eventually walks away, then I know it's a sign from God. But NOTE: you have a huge role to play in it... You won't act anyhow(nag,disrespect,cuss or fight) and expect him to stay. And when he walks away, you think it's a sign from God! Yea it's a sign from God(to him) that he should take off from you! Pray to God directly(cos most of these prophets don't even understated what they see)
DeleteYou don't need pity because u are one of the stupid gullible pple on this blog who takes men of gods as mini gods. How many men will come ur way would u ask pastors abt? What stupid decision from a stupid lady,thank God the guy said no to ur sorry ass. A lot of ur types will advise u further here. Just hate pple who think from their anus. Wait for ur prophate to find u husband.
Deleteplace.most of these peopke you go to pray for you are frauds, opportunists and there isno way they don't see things they will always see something wrong so that u will go back to them and ask for solutions.
DeleteMy dear if you are the kind of person that bases her faith on people and you cannot pray for yourself you are in deep shit.
My advice t you is that in your next relationship, do not take your names to people that are soothsayers it is a sin. Pray to God yourself. Common don't be lazy!
Understand*
DeleteMy dear, from my own experience, I have found out that nobody knows all and some pple av bin privileged to see what you cant see...if the prophet is genuine, pls listen to him..it took som prophets up to 11yrs before they started 'seeing'..there are true prophets tho scarce..morever, no be only one man God assign to you,if that one go, you will get anoda man..just be patient and be wise.
DeleteMy dear, next time pray ur self out! There is this Peace that comes within if he is the right guy for you, no sorcerer/prophet will do this for u. You will know wen u meet Mr right! Don't force urself on him, if u had known u wouldn't have told him yet until u have prayed, how can u go back to lick ur vomit!?
DeleteMy dear, I think you acted stupidly. Irrespective of whatever you were told you shouldn't have gone to tell your bf JUST YET! I don't think you are ready for marriage yet either cos there are still a couple of things you need to learn. Like you need to learn when to keep quiet and observe, watch how events unfold. But you acted hastily and without even applying wisdom. It would take a miracle for the guy to take you back so just take it as a learning curve.
DeleteNow there are prophets and there are prophets, am not in a position to call anyone fake or real cos only God knows but even the bible says to test all spirits.
I would just implore you to be careful on seeking answers to life challenges from pastors etc when you can seek the face of God yourself. It's ok if you wish for someone to agree in prayers with you but make it a habit NEVER to go into details cos that is what they will use to manipulate you.
I once attended a church where they were seeing visions etc. The the "visioner" got to me and started delivering "message "....guess what? I just started yelling " I reject it ooooo, I reject it in Jesus name, it's not my portion o" Visioner shock o! I bet no one had ever done that in the history of their delivering message. The service wasn't the same but guess what I never went back there. Even the person who invited me never called me again since that event, not like I care but the bible says power of life and death is in the tongue so I just had to do that.
If you have a bible and can speak, please get on your knees and pray to God , the bible says God's ears are not deaf to hear and his arms not short that he can't save us. The same bible says Ask and you will recieve! What more do you want? Why go through a man like you when you have unlimited access to God?
It is well dear, God will bring you your own man and God's will will be done in your life.

ReplyDeleteAll these questions should be directed at the NDLEA staff. They must have told your friend the reason why he's still being held. I've been singled out for a random search before and let go when nothing was found.
ReplyDeleteGet a lawyer and meet the NDLEA officials.

ReplyDeleteI be been held for random search in nigeria , and when nothing incrimination is found on you after your X-ray the y will ask you to proceed with your flight .. Fast forward to Heathrow on another trip,, I ve also been randomly checked as well,, however the custom peeps said they found swab of cocain in my bag ,, but after frantic checks they released me when them no see any cocaine,, they opined that it is d nail polish in my bag that gave them that signal. And I was allowed into London immediately... NDLEA please go and learn this work well ,,, you need other chemical analysis trainings,, don't embarrass peeps Abeg.. That is how you peeps made baba suwe to shit and shit for Africa,, Abeg learn your work well.
