The whole stretch of a road is supposed to be one straight smooth ride. However, an attempt to get carried away while basking in the euphoria of that feeling, might be the beginning of an unplanned journey to the great beyond. Or better still a visit to an orthopedic home.
Lying on almost all the highways in Lagos metropolis, like emissaries of death, are different dangerous things that were hitherto objects of beautification.
Good motorable roads are said to be one basic component of a good government, which might have been the idea behind sighting of streetlights on major highways. Apart the primary function of providing visibility at night, the aesthetic value of the lights to the environment can not be ignored. But the aim has since been defeated, as they now stand out like a sore thumb on major highways.
Your Credit History Could Be Worth Thousands: The Loophole That ...
Disclaimer: I always have a difficult choice on whether to report these loopholes because even if they may technically be legal, they certainly are an abuse of the intended law. I do not recommend that people participate on either side of this scheme to raise poor credit scores. That being said, it does exist and I try to pass along to people information of what is going on in all areas of personal finance. There are a growing number of companies on the Internet that claim they have found the perfect loophole that allows them to boost the credit scores of those with bad credit without breaking the law. They are able to do this by exploiting a common way that children first gain a credit history - piggybacking upon someone (usually a parent) that has good credit by becoming an "authorized user" of the person with a good credit history.

The battle of the self
A flyer landed on my desk this week promoting a workshop called Living on the Edge of Evolution with independent consciousness researcher Craig Hamilton. Intrigued but confused, I read further. A transformational journey into the mystery of the authentic self. Hmm hes a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues, a 35-person think tank presided over by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. So, of course, I figured anyone who can sit in the same clubhouse as the Dalai Lama would be impossible to get in contact with. So I sent Mr. Hamilton an e-mail soon after I read the flyer, having no idea what I would ask him if I actually talked with him.
Ding. He replies to my interview inquiry in record time.
What hours are you in? he writes. Im available any time, day or night, weekends and holidays.
