lexy2014: It is you who consider it a waste. I do not consider running costs and procurement of assets as waste. Nigeria is rich enough to run its government as stipulated by the constitution. Left to you, even the budget is a waste as it is not valued at N3million. Left to you, everything is a waste unless you are the one in power. 1 Like |

lexy2014: Nigeria is rich enough to run the government that the constitution says it should run. As long as you have not changed the constitution, those lamenting now will get to power and continue the expenditure on the things the illiterate man considers a waste. Or how can the eventual building of the Vice President's residence be termed a waste after decades of pussy footing? How can a 3rd hand Airplane for the Presidential fleet still be termed a waste, when you currently do not have any other better plane in the Presidential fleet? What is the problem with renovating a national asset like the National Assembly? The problem with beer parlour analysts is that they feel the urge to question any amount they see tagged to any expenditure, without any empirical fact to show why it should have cost less. 1 Like |

lexy2014: Government running costs is not the same as wasting funds that could have served for the general benefit of all on the greedy claims of a few. The N90b spent on Hajj is part of the greedy claims of a few I am referring to. The government should know that wasting of public funds on the religious concerns of a few, is a long existing anomaly that must now be prohibited. 1 Like |

Travel / 28 Pilgrims Die In Tragic Road Crash by Supersdotng: 2:54pm On Aug 21 |
No fewer than 28 people were killed and 23 others injured as a bus conveying Pakistani pilgrims to Iraq overturned in the central Iranian province of Yazd on Tuesday night. Local media reports have it that the incident occurred in Dehshir village, Taft County, at around 9:50 p.m. local time (18:20 GMT) Tuesday night. The Director-General of the provincial crisis management department, Mohammad-Ali Malekzadeh, said on Wednesday that the bus was en-route to the Iran-Iraq border carrying Pakistani passengers, who sought to attend the Arbaeen ceremonies. Malekzadeh added that out of those injured, 14 were in critical condition and under treatment in the province’s medical centers, stressing that the provincial authorities were ensuring the necessary coordination with the Iranian Foreign Ministry to transfer those killed and wounded in the incident to Pakistan on board a plane. While commenting on the cause of the accident, Iran’s Traffic Police Chief Seyyed Teymour Hosseini said initial investigations showed that a technical defect in the bus’ braking system had led to the incident’s occurrence. He said that the traffic police’s experts were on the scene conducting further investigations. Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has expressed condolences over the deaths of Pakistani pilgrims, saying the incident “caused us deep sadness.” He assured that Iran’s relevant organizations and authorities were seriously continuing rescue, service and treatment operations.

I get the plane inconvenience; flying can be such a hassle sometimes. But the adventure was worth it! The heat in Morocco sounds intense—43 degrees is no joke! I bet you were sweating buckets. Your best morocco itinerary looks incredible! Ouzoud Waterfall must have been breathtaking, and camel riding is a classic Moroccan experience. Quad biking and beach time in Essaouira sound like a blast, too.Dinner at a good restaurant must have been a real treat after all that exploring. I’ve heard Morocco has some of the best food around.Shopping in the markets must have been fun to pick up some unique souvenirs. It looks like you made the most of your time there! |

Travel / Re: Aerocontractors Refund My Money For Flight Cancellation by Eboski(m): 10:38pm On Aug 19 |
chyzoo4u: I was not the one that did the cancellation, I was at the airport 1hr before departure, checking of luggages took time because of the numbers of passengers that day , 30mins before departure the pilot have already move from the plane position, the manager went to meet him and let him know they are still passengers doing checking. Before the manager could return the pilot have taken off. We tried to rise our words the manger pleaded with us they will refund us, immediately book Airpeace because I have a flight to cash up the next day outside the country. When I could to Lagos the airline reach out to me and explain everything to them, told them to also call the Calabar airport manager to get some clarification. The next day a mail was sent to me for a refund to fill my details and I did it. Since then I have sent several mail to them no response , no reply. They made me paid twice the amount of money for airpeace that same day. |

America001: Hey 🤠 1. There was no time birthing became an issue during Trump era, the rules and policies for going to give birth in the USA only tightened because the system was being abused by visitors. 2. Yes, of course, there are many Nigerians-Americans (dual citizens) who does not even need a visa to go and give birth, and there are many government officials from different countries on assignments whose pregnant wives must accompany to the USA, therefore, to answer your question, yes, pregnant women who genuinely have no plans of birthing in the USA are still getting B1-B2 VISAS. 3. Despite the above, if you did not declare intention to go and give birth, and you are standing in front of the consular officer with bigger-pregnant belly , then, I don't think you will be able to secure that visa except if what you are going for is of absolute importance. 4. That being said, either you are a government official's spouse, a pregnant - USA citizen living abroad etc , some airline will still not allow you to fly if your pregnancy is too obvious or too soon to be due for birthing because there is no obstetrician aboard the plane (except in an emergency situation). 5. In summary, if your pregnancy is within week 22 to 24 (no birthing intention), and you qualify for the VISA, then why not ? Your VISA should be granted and you are safe to fly.

Travel / Black Box Shows Pilots Detected Trouble Minute Before Brazil Plane Crashed. by 377: 5:36pm On Aug 15 |
uthorities investigating the recent Brazilian plane crash that claimed the lives of all 62 passengers and crew members have obtained the complete transcript of the flight's "black box" recording, according to local TV station Globo. However, Reuters reports that the transcript's contents do not immediately reveal the cause of the accident. Sources close to the investigation told Globo that the cockpit voice recorder transcript indicates the pilot and copilot noticed a sudden and significant loss of altitude approximately one minute before the crash. The audio and transcript have not been released to the public. According to TV Globo, the cockpit voice recorder transcript spans approximately two hours of audio, capturing a critical exchange between the pilot and copilot. The copilot is heard asking the pilot what's happening and expressing concern that the plane requires "more power" to stabilise. In response to TV Globo's report, Brazil's aviation accident investigation centre, Cenipa, issued a statement late Wednesday assuring that no media outlet has access to the voice recorder's audio, transcript, or data. Cenipa declined to comment on the specifics of the report. The ill-fated flight, operated by Voepass on an ATR-72 turboprop, was en route from Cascavel to Sao Paulo when it crashed in Vinhedo, 80 km northwest of Sao Paulo, at 1:30 p.m. local time. Tragically, all 62 on board perished, while no one on the ground was injured. Disturbing video footage shared on social media captured the harrowing moment the ATR-72 aircraft spiralled out of control, crashing behind a row of trees near residential homes and sending a massive plume of black smoke into the air. Notably, the pilots did not declare an emergency or report adverse weather conditions, according to the Brazilian air force's statement on Friday. Investigators privy to the crash probe told TV Globo that analysing the audio recording alone may not be sufficient to determine the cause of the accident, suggesting a more comprehensive investigation is needed. Authorities have neither ruled out nor confirmed the possibility of wing icing as a contributing factor to the crash, according to TV Globo. However, analysis of crash videos by aviation experts has sparked speculation that ice accumulation on the plane's wing may have played a role in the accident. The icing issue remains a topic of investigation, with no definitive conclusion drawn yet. Topics International |

2 pilots flying a Boeing 747 from Saudi Arabia to Nigeria say they spotted several white UFO orbs. Initially, they thought they were aircraft, but these would show up on the radar. “What we see is still a mystery. Before that, we thought it was a light plane, but it wasn't on our radar. We thought maybe it was a star, but the stars didn't move. The UFO light shone for a long time and moved.” Source: Daily Mail https://x.com/marionawfal/status/1823282089027842081?s=46
