Education / Re: A Female Nigerian Student's Luxurious Room Leaves People Astonished by eaglechild: 9:19pm On Apr 17
I am impressed at how neat and well arranged everything is with great use of available space. I'm not interested in the luxury, and she is likely not the richest person in her accommodation but she is absolutely well organized.

Travel / Re: Foreign Airlines Are Underpricing Us - Alex Onyema by eaglechild: 7:37am On Apr 10
seunmsg:



Government can’t keep subsidizing everything. Air Peace is a private business and they must find a way to survive competition. Arik was flying straight to London Heathrow before they were out-priced by foreign airlines.


The only way Air Peace can survive the price war is to appeal to the sentiments of Nigerians. They must make all Nigerians see Air peace as a national brand that is serving the interest of all Nigerians and whose survival depends on the patronage of Nigerians against harsh foreign competitors.

Sadly, they mismanaged the fallout of their maiden flight by allowing Obidients ethnicize the narrative. The Igbo pushback and the massive insults against Yoruba people because some very few people on twitter suggested that the dressing of the hostess should reflect a united Nigeria identity as against an ethnic group was unnecessary. President Tinubu and Keyamo were not spared in the insult. Now, how will they change the narrative?
Did you expect them to place a gag order on Internet use

Science/Technology / Re: Nigerian Man Rejoices As He Captures A Very Big Owl In His Home (Pics/Video) by eaglechild: 5:06pm On Mar 13
I could not bear watching to the end but I hope that was a comedy skit but if not then the level of ignorance pervading through our society is despicable.

The innocent owl is a nocturnal bird of prey that feeds on mostly rodents, and was probably attracted to your house in pursuit of food.
So please clear your house of rodents and free the innocent beautiful bird that is God's creation and a very important part of the food chain helping to keep our rodent population in check and in so doing reducing disease outbreak.

Autos / Re: Why Nigeria Switched The Driver's Seat From Right To Left by eaglechild: 11:05am On Mar 05
hotwax:
The first time I went to South Africa, I hired a car at the airport. I had paid and received the car key when I realized it’s a right handed car.

I summoned courage started the car, I struggled to use my left hand to position the gear for 15minutes…to compound the issue is the transmission of the car….it’s godamned manual car.
The last time I drove a manual car was in my secondary school days…and that was my mums peogeut 504.

I was in one position for 30min…then their rep came to check on me “any problem?” I said I’m cool I’m just setting my map app.

I finally fired the car, the car jumped forward, from their I entered the road like an erratic drunk driver…zooming, jerking and slowing..

Sweating inside the AC.

Then I faced the major road, their roads are tailored for right driving, I first faced one way..thank God I didn’t cause accident.

I quickly calculated that I had to be on the right.

At the end sha…I saw a ticket of 250rands on the cars screen wiper asking me to pay in 48hours..

I nearly hated South Africa because of that
Lol!
Good storytelling. Should have done a bit more research.

SeriouslySense:
Nigeria made me tough, seriously, i dont even notice or bother at all but i do appreciate kindness even little kindness and surely, kind to others, by being thoughtful. If you can survive tribalism in Nigeria and religious extremism, then surely, the racism in other countries are like Childs play grin grin grin grin grin

In my experience, even the racist may change and begin to like me. grin grin grin

I dont hold their racism in my mind, because i have to think wisely. smiley smiley

I have the ability to greet people who don't answer and I seem to ignore it, it is not relevant for my living, they did not answer, and its not the end of the world, but I don't hold it against them, there is no time for drama, one should grow wisely.

There is nothing woke about trying to conserve the environment. Hunting is regulated all over the world even in the most remote societies including Africa. There are more sustainable ways to feed and forest resources are not infinite.

Shame on Innoson, same person who jibed a subtle ethnic message, asking Jamb to "let the poor breathe". His U-turn is an afterthought, he should cover his face in shame.
What is ethnic about 'let the poor breathe'?
And what is shameful when the company clearly stated that they will wait for investigations to be concluded before taking further decisions?

Car Talk / Re: How Long Did It Take You To Learn How To Drive? (Picture) by eaglechild: 8:36pm On Jul 02, 2023
All these people saying no one taught them is it manual or auto.
Auto doesn't count.
If it is manual sorry that's just a fat lie.

No wonder we have so many miscreants on the road who have absolutely no idea what basic traffic rules are.
Being able to move a car from point a to b does not equate to safe driving.
It is important to learn the fundamental rules of driving as it is such an important skill that carries a lot of responsibility with it.
It is not a juvenile show off skill and no points should go to bragging about jumping into a car and moving it.
It's irresponsible and dangerous.

Politics / Re: What Tony Blair And I Discussed - Bola Tinubu by eaglechild: 9:56pm On May 24, 2023
EKONGKING:
I have a strong feeling that BAT will be the best ever president for Nigeria .

2 things which Nigerians conveniently left out during Dangote refinery commission ,I will mention .

Lagos is lucky as it is the capital of colonial British as well as new Nigerian government , you have ready made infrastructure .
however that does not tell full story as we have also seen many cities go dust when capital is moved to other part .

The brilliance of Tinubu comes here , He has the foresight to start Lekki free trade zone ,Eko atlantic , etc which is starting to fructify now .

Shenzhen and Guangzhou ,happened as Chinese government realized the importance of Hong Kong and benefitted from it ,by creating suitable policies as Hong Kong is saturated .

In 2000 one state chief minister (Governor) of India started a massive complex hosting only IT related services called HITECH City in Hyderabad . Then he went on massive overdrive in publicity and attracted Bill gates to come to that city ,Bill Clinton also visited in next year .

Cut forward now the city has huge campuses of GOOGLE,AMAZON,MICROSCOFT ,DELL etc employing 1 million Indians .(See you tube videos of Hyderabad) .

What i,am trying to say is Chinese and Indian politicians are attracting investments to their respective states by hard selling them and give beneficial deals via reducing VAT, Electricity cost, Land conversion charges etc .

They set cat among pigeons ,every body are competing for investment as it will create jobs ,boost revenue and for shady people enrich their wallet .

In Nigeria , no politicians wants to attract any investment ,just build a road or a bridge u will have praise Sayers saying ,the state is in gods hand .

Seriously dude .These above mentioned countries have long past the usage of roads and bridges for votes.

Account leaders for job creation as what other sensible countries are doing , not a stupid governor who commission 10 km of tarred road .

Tinubu has created Ideas for job employment and its best to take his Ideas as well as Chinese and Indian ideas instead of just Tarring a road and call the state is in GODS hand.

Stop this junk analysis.
What is the present reality?
How has his campaign appearances suggested that he is capable of governing competently?
Why is his identity marred with controversy?
Why will a president forfeit thousands of dollars for a drug charge?
We are not ready as a people to evolve.

This is one of the many things I so hate and dislike about this dangerous and slimy snake, he sits and looks the other way while his vile, disgusting and toxic mob insult, abuse, denigrate, ridicule and trash other people, they dragged and trashed Prof Wole Soyinka for almost 2 weeks, but this 2 face slimy clown was enjoying it and refused to order his toxic mob to desist, now he's prostrating and playing nice as if he was under some cave in Afghanistan when his mob was attacking the Professor.

It's always the same crooked and deceptive game all the time, Nigeria is so lucky that God rejected this evil and bigoted clown.

He reaches out and you still hate.

I think institutions perform checks and balances, not necessarily individuals.

So, anyone who thinks that leadership is easy should go and try. That's why I am happy seeing A.Y. on the Labour Party train.
It is EVERY citizen's responsibility to hold its government accountable.
Not everyone is equipped with leadership qualities.
And those who recognise that are to be commended. It does not in anyway take away their right to demand good governance.

I have always looked forward to seeing Yesufu in one office so I can see the changes she will bring.

I know that leaderhsip is tough and I also know when incompetent people are in power. Buhari, not Osinbajo, is clearly incompetent.
Not everyone is built to occupy a position.
Some are there for checks and balances. That is how good governance is enshrined.
