A farm girl

-
A farm girl from Saskatchewan walks into a bar in Calgary and orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When she finishes them, she comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the farm girl, ‘You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.’ The farm girl replies, ‘Well, you see, I have two sisters. One is in Australia, the other is in Cranbrook. When we all left our home in Saskatchewan, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I’m drinking one beer for each of my sisters and one for myself.’ The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The farm girl becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way. She orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. One day, she comes in and only orders two mugs.

Why we arrest motorists with faded number plates – VIO

The Federal Capital Territory Vehicle Inspection Office (FCT VIO) says its arrest of motorists over faded vehicle number plates is not to extort them but ensure compliance with traffic rules. The FCT VIO Spokesperson, Mr Kalu Emetu, made the clarification following complaints by motorists over the issue. Some of the motorists said they were made to pay heavy fine of up to N20,000 and directed to procure a new number plate for no fault of theirs. The motorists said that the VIO should blame the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) for the substandard number plates which fade easily, instead of heaping the blame entirely on them. Emetu, however, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja, that all vehicle number plates must be visible from at least from 50 meters, otherwise it was an offence to use it. He said that if a clear view could not be achieved, then the number plate was not performing its function. “For example, if a vehicle is stolen it’s the number plate that will be ...

Pro-democracy group condemns Nyako’s impeachment

A pro-democracy group, the Voters’ Assembly (VOTAS) has condemned Tuesday’s impeachment of Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako. The group, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade Mashood Erubami, Wednesday, said Nyako’s impeachment set a new template for vindictive politics in Nigeria, describing it as an ominous sign that the 2015 election will be racked with possible catastrophes. The statement read in part: “If the impeachment of Governor Murtala Nyako in Adamawa is left unchallenged, it would have spill -over effect, in other states where the legislators are already beating the drum of impeachment as is the case in Edo, Rivers, Kano, and Nassarawa, in an attempt at putting the states on the keg of gun powder which could possibly cause a chain of reactions, the end of which nobody could predict. “Obviously, the political environment is now soaked with series of alarms over threat to the lives of key members of opposition parties and potential candidates in the 2015 ...
