As seen on twitter.
A man narrated how he mistakenly threw away a wall gecko seen in his American girlfriend's house and it cost him his job and the relationship.
So let me tell you how I lost my job after 4 months back in 2018. I had just been employed in an NGO & my boss was a White lady called Ms. Charlotte from Florida. It wasn't long before she took a liking to me. She'd tell my colleagues he wants them to "have initiative like T."
One time she invited me to a restaurant for coffee after work. Said she liked my drive. I said "It's all Jesus, ma'am!" Asked where I got my muscles from, I said my papa. 3rd month, we were practically meeting daily.
She'd call me to her office & hand me cake pieces she'd made the previous night. She called them all sorts of names, "Tres Leches Cake, chiffon cake". The only tasty things I'd known by then were street buns. I was gone gone. Finally someone was seeing my worth.
End of 3rd month, we became an item. she'd said she liked a man that takes charge. To which I'd said, "it runs in our family. My grandfather was a chief." She was overjoyed. Started telling how we'd make a cute couple. Mentally & emotionally, I was in America brethren!
On the last Friday of that month, she called me in the morning. Told me she wanted to host me for dinner. But since the staff'd be breaking early for the day, she wanted me to proceed to her house, & she'd come after 3 hours as she had a review meeting...
She specifically said, "Feel free, move around. Take charge, it's our house now!" Handed me the house keys. I'd been to her place before to deliver a few office items but had never been inside. It would be a first. I was crying & laughing all the way in the uber.
I get there at about 2 pm. Neighbors look at me suspiciously as I let myself in but I didn't care. I would soon be in Florida, America. It didn't matter. I open the door, and inside is a cozy mansionette. Wooden Maasai's on the table, dusty artwork on the walls...
Hanging photos on frames. I see my father & mother-in-law waving from the portraits. I wave back. Good people. After a drink, I decide to make myself busy. First, I was going to clean the dust off the frames, and cobwebs. I wanted her to know she was getting husband material
I set about the chore. Caught a few roaches swept them out. Caught a hideous gecko peeping from behind a frame on the wall, and flung it outside. I set about prepping a smoothie. Even my accent had changed. When I sneezed, I said, "bleiss you!" to myself.
After 3 hours, I heard her car engine. She comes in, she's flabbergasted. "Oh, T! My house is so clean! How could you have possibly done this in 2 hours?" I feign modesty, tell her its nothing. She settles in the kitchen, and grills some beef as we talk & laugh. We were happy.
After eating, we cuddle. Watch 'Midnight in Paris'. Was a lovely night, brethren. But the devil, my people! The devil cannot let the son of man breathe in Nairobi. While in the middle of then movie, Charlotte starts fidgeting, looking around. I say, "what's wrong, baby?"
She says, "Penelope! I can't see, Penelope!" I say, what do you mean, you can't see Penelope. Who is Penelope? She doesn't answer me, jumps up, starts turning the sofa cushions over. While mumbling, "OMG! Penelope, where are you?" I'm trying to be helpful, I ask is it a doll?
She says, no. It's her pet. "But I hadn't seen any cat or dog when I come in," I say indignantly. Charlotte says Penelope likes to hide: "Lizards do that!" Brethren, I couldn't breathe. America was fading right before my eyes. Penelope was the ugly gecko I flung outside.
I say, "Baby, please sit down. Can we talk?". She says no, we must find Penelope 1st. So I say, "Baby, there are been a serious mistaking", the grammar & accent were gone. My throat was dry, "I threw Penelope outside. I thought she was a regular gecko". Charlotte stood aghast.
She said she didn't think I was that kind of a man, "who does that to such a cute, harmless creature?!" I said, it's what we did where I came from. I also pointed out that she told me to be free & take charge. I also wanted to add that Penelope was not exactly a beauty queen...
But held my mouth. It was not the time. She was wailing by then. Calling me a murderer. I didn't know what to do, so I ran out, man. Next Monday, I was called to the office. Given my marching orders. Animal cruelty was not a brand they wished to be associated with.
I heard that Penelope was found. She came back after a while. Only problem was she didn't have one leg. A bird had eaten it. But she cost me my job. And my American dream. And I never thought I'd hold a grudge against a gecko, but I hope I never find her.

By the word robbery it simply means that a certain player had worked very hard and won the hearts of football fans who were disappointed to see someone else who has performed less better win the award.
Here are the three biggest robberies, according that u can remembe[/b]r
[b]The first one was Robert Lewandowski in 2020:
Most football lovers and pundits agree that the Polish striker was robbed in 2020 after the award ceremony was cancelled the very year he should have won it.
And instead of giving it to him the next year, it was rather given to Lionel Messi. A Lewandowski victory could have been uncontested like the Benzema triumph last year.
Goal reported that the organisers cited the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse, but every sane football fan knows it was Lewandowski’s award for the taking.
Another one was Wesley Sneijder.
The Dutchman was snubbed in 2010 even when most football lovers had tipped him to claim the individual gong. His Ballon d’Or snub sparked a lot of controversies, as the playmaker was involved in every trophy his side won
So To All my great Nairalanders football lovers, kindly share your view
By obembet
Sneijder's was the most obvious robbery ever witnessed. Man won a treble with Inter and took his team to World Cup final.

Because there is no money in govt work. Any govt worker you see that's living large is definitely mismanaging or diverting funds.

In context, this is not today's important story, but I thought to flag it up too.
Aviation minister @hadisirika is committing broad daylight fraud by displaying this rented and hurriedly repainted @flyethiopian Boeing 737-800 as an aircraft belonging to a phantom "Nigeria Air".
I obtained the video below of the purported "Nigeria Air" 737-800 from a source at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in the Ethiopian capital.
As you can see when you freeze the frame, the aircraft is clearly ed to @flyethiopian with the registration number ET-APL.
If you put that registration number into @planespotters, you can clearly see that it is an 11 year-old Boeing 737-800 belonging to @flyethiopian.
It has also briefly appeared in the colours of @MalawianAirline (@flyethiopian owns 49% of @MalawianAirline).
When you check @flightradar24, you can see that this aircraft is still in active @flyethiopian service, but after disappearing to Tel-Aviv for 5 days (undergoing repainting), has now resurfaced in Abuja to be fraudulently "commissioned" later today by @hadisirika.
The questions that @hadisirika needs to answer are:
What exactly is the nature of the ownership and technical agreement between @flyethiopian and the so-called 'Nigeria Air'?
Why did he spend billions of naira on this project to deliver essentially a @flyethiopian subsidiary?
Why is he fraudulently misrepresenting a @flyethiopian Beoing 737 that is still in ACTIVE service, and flew with @flyethiopian colours as recently as 6 days ago (May 21), as an aircraft belonging to "Nigeria Air", that will be commissioned by the hapless outgoing president?

With the final decision by the Supreme Court on the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun State, all hands should be on deck to provide the @AAdeleke_01 istration all the needed to implement programmes,policies & plans fashioned to make Osun flourish & succeed.
The main task at hand is to make the people feel the impact of good governance, that guarantees a prosperous, peaceful and stable Osun State.
Elections should be seen as a path to an end, which is the progress of the people in a peaceful environment, rather than unending bickering. This is the time for inclusion and harmony in Osun State, at the end of litigation.
Let me also recognize and acknowledge the important role of the judiciary in deepening rule of law and democracy in Nigeria.
