Sorry to bother you friends!! But I had to use a friend's phone to share this!!! Yesterday I and my friend went to the shoprite to get somethings, when we finished, we came out and ordered for uber' ( it showed 10mins to arrive) so we waited for the uber arrival''' finally a taxi(Acura MDX)stopped in front of us ' then I asked if he was the uber we ordered? Yes I am ma' he said!
Then we both entered and i asked him to start the trip: he then said ok and drive off, he drove for sometime then slowed down' when we asked y the slow down, this car is having issues ma; let me check :: he said( pls my money is reading o I told him) sorry ma we not on surg, he replied,I then said ok o,As he stopped, another guy quickly entered the car then the driver doomed off immediately-- sharply i even tried to open the door and run ; but all to no avail then i realised we were in big troubled ::: my friend started shouting and crying- then one of guys came to the back seat held her neck so hard that she couldn't even scream: then they asked me to give them my phones ( I left my phones at home I told them) the other guy used his gun to hit my eye( he brought out a small knife, pepperspray, and small axe).
He asked for the second time ' where is your phone? I see 2 phones for your hand , where them dey?then I had no choice than to give him my phones when i saw blood dropping , he started beating us and asked his friend to give him that handkerchief ( but the guy driving said his spirit doesn't want him to harm us) but he should collect everything from us: so they collected the things we bought @ the shoprite, they took my friend's phones and mine too, her wrist watch, my neckchain, our handbags, asked for our atm cards and tnk God none of us came out with it,they searched us and collected the cash we had on us' they even collected my friend's ear rings😅-- then dumped us on a lonely part:
A good samarithan gave us 1500 to transport bk home we told him what happened-- I just had to share this so we can be very careful this period:::the mistake we made was : not calling the uber number to confirm if trully he was the person: I just want all of you thank God for me o.

Dr Alex Ekwueme admitted ...
Second republic Vice-President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, has collapsed and is currently at the Intensive Care Unit of Memfys Hospital for Neurosurgery, by Penok petrol station in Trans-Ekulu, Enugu State.
The PUNCH learnt on Tuesday night that Ekwueme collapsed around 2am last Saturday, at his residence in Independence Layout, Enugu.
The development comes barely 10 days (October 10) after he celebrated his 85th birthday.
Family members close to our correspondent said that the former vice-president went into coma soon after he collapsed.
“He was trying to get something from the table when he suddenly collapsed and immediately someone raised the alarm, we proceeded to revive him while cautious enough not to attract neighbours,” a relative, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.
He added, “When it became obvious that he had lapsed into coma, we rushed him to a hospital (unnamed) in GRA (Government Reserved Area), but we were referred to Memphys Hospital by medical consultants who had critically examined his condition.”
The source said that the family chose to keep the incident secret for a while with the hope that Ekwueme would “miraculously” come out of coma.
“When there was no sign of improvement on Monday afternoon, we rallied round and informed the former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, who is like a son, and he has been making plans to fly him overseas,” the source added.
Medical personnel at Memphys Hospital said that Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State broke down in tears on seeing Ekwueme at the Intensive Care Unit on Tuesday evening.
Although the governor’s visit was enshrouded in secrecy so as not to attract the prying eyes of the media and residents in the state, it was gathered that he could not hide his emotions as he wailed uncontrollably.
“My namesake, Ifeanyichukwu, do not leave us now! Even if you must go, please wait to see your daughter become the deputy governor of Anambra State before you leave us,” Ugwuanyi was reported to have wailed at the ICU.
The PUNCH recalls that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the November18 poll in Anambra State, Oseloka Obaze, had presented the first daughter of Ekwueme, Lady Chidi Onyemelukwe, as his running mate.
WHY IMO DEPUTY GOVERNOR WILL BE IMPEACHED by FCC JONES
It is not often that you see politicians retain and empower their faithful to the point of even measuring up with their own status, but Governor Okorocha has done that and will continue to do that. He has raised so many men up and continues to raise more men. Prince Ezeakonobi Mmadumere, the loyal and consistent deputy governor of Imo State is one of the oldest of such men. For him, he has no other political Party, but Governor Rochas Okorocha.
He is ready to swim or drown with the man who saw him in faraway United States of America and asked him to abandon whatever what he was doing and follow him. He does not fail to tell anyone who cares to listen that he has never had cause to regret hearkening to that call. Mmadumere is untaintably loyal, and this, for the disgruntled politically displaced, is an impeachable offense.
Prince Mmadumere is one of the few men who have risen to very great heights, yet does not forget who gave him the ladder. The opposition in the State had tried many strategies to inject bad blood between him and his boss, and even his younger brother, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, by insinuating all manners of baloney, but the Mbieri royal prince is unshaken. He knows the man whom he has served for two decades and knows what God has done for him through that man. For the desperate oppressors, Mmadumere should be impeached for staying true to himself and being conscious of his history.
Mmadumere could have made himself available to be used to penetrate the impermeable Okorocha political family, but he has continued to ward off all the smelly flies that come with nothing but doom. He knows that these flies are already dead, politically, hence looking for whom to drag along with themselves to their graves. He has been wise enough to avoid mixing himself up with a group of people condemned to perpetual political near successes - unless they retrace their steps.
Prince Mmadumere has remained loyal to the people oriented visions of His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha. He has continued to present himself as a true ambassador of the Rescue Mission family, wherever he goes to. Like every true Rescue Missionary and Rochasian, Mmadumere is not corrupt, he is humble, humane and honest. These qualities are undesirable to the dangerous group of oppressors who hate the fact that Imo has become better and will continue to get better. Yes that's why they want Mmadumere impeached and yes,
Mmadumere is UNIMPEACHABLE.
