AgricultureRe: Long Awaited Egusi {Melon} Storage Business Season Is On Now by aaidel(m): 12:05pm On Sep 20, 2014
after reading through this whole thread one thing i'm wondering is why the warehouse owners don't just store the produce for the farmers and take their cut when its sold. say i'm a farmer and i have 200 bags to sell i sell 120 why not make a deal with the warehouse owner at 200 naira per bag till its sold? This brings only one conclusion: the farmer realizes its a gamble and while he might make his money back he could also lose money and end up in debt to the store keeper. hope all those that invested are monitoring the prices closely and i hope they don't get greedy and not sell when they have a good price in the hope it gets higher

PoliticsRe: The Co*k-And-Bull Story Of The FG On Smuggled $9.3m to SA - Festus Keyamo by aaidel(m): 12:54am On Sep 18, 2014
cr8v: I don't care what anyone says. When Boko Haram was buying, no one knew. If Christians decide to defend themselves it is a pity that it's fellow Christians that will write this trash. Stay there until Boko haram evolves to ISIS and start chasing you defenseless out of your country. The federal govt may not have told the whole truth but these jihadist know how to cover themselves that until now no one knows the sponsors of Boko and how they brought in heavy weapons into the country. At least it is not open in public circles. Festus, stay for Lagos I no blame you, you are not a northern Christian so you will not understand

Go and study history how turkey and some other former Christian nations to Islam. They did that by force from jihadists and there lack of unity amongst believers.
point of correction several people have been accused as sponsors of BH but same government has refused to prosecute them. FYI ISIS evolved from exactly this people claiming they need to arm themselves to defend themselves but lo and behold they soon became the oppressors once they had enough powers so no it is not ok for anybody christian or muslim to support the arming of a private army as nothing good will ever come out of it

EducationRe: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by aaidel(m): 9:28am On Sep 14, 2014
CityNG: Absolutely.

The UK requires any American that has a criminal record to apply for a visa as they will most certainly be sent back based on the severity of their crimes.

For the USA, as a Briton (who traditionally doesn't need visa to enter the US) if you've ever been denied entry on ESTA (basically showing up at a US border without a visa and asking to be poarolled into the US) then you can never use ESTA again and must always apply for a visa.

So this idiotic idea that he has that you can just show up at a border and be admitted just because you;r san American is ludicrous.

It just shows that he is not a savvy traveller.
cautious googling that might save us all further exchanges most countries have such systems in place even tiny carribean islands require a permit which is usually paid for by the airline when you book your flight so you are not just showing up contrary to what some might believe

cautious: It's the other way round. A visa doesn't guarantee you entry and it is the prerogative of the immigration to allow you into the country. He wasn't issued a visa. Except there are no legitimate reasons to be visiting, an American citizen cannot be turned away from a Spanish airport. That is normal procedure (based on agreements between both countries) and not a celebrated case like your friend makes it seem.
any citizen can be turned back from any country guess you didn't hear the case of the man turned back from dubai and asked never to return again and some countries despite these agreements require pre approval before traveling which is basically same thing a visa is
EducationRe: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by aaidel(m): 8:52am On Sep 14, 2014
CityNG: Yep.

I find it credible that the Egypt Air personel could just not believe that someone would be as dense as to purchase the wrong ticket, get the wrong boarding pass and board the wrong plane. This doesn't excuse the behavior but I am matured and travelled enough to see things from different perspectives.
surely having got to moldova you will have a hard time convincing anyone that wasn't your intended destination as the flight would have to be announced, calls for boarding made and even the pilot would have announced before taking off and it would have been on the screens on the plane not to mention the customs and immigration cards given for entry, this isn't even a case of same city names different countries. once you have missed all those cues it makes your story all the more unbelievable that the ticketing agent sold you a wrong ticket. one other thing bothering me is how the lady that asked for his visa at istanbul did not pick up the error because there is no way i can present to board a flight to moldova with a ukrainian visa but these are all things for lawyers to figure out but knowing the average nigerians laid back attitude i doubt this will ever go further than a story that touches the heart
EducationRe: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by aaidel(m): 7:31am On Sep 14, 2014
CityNG: Nothing was clarified, it's all in your head so no thanks needed.

No piss off and go hump somebody else you ingrate.
allowed entry does not mean you are guaranteed entry and he could also have been refused entry subject on the recommendation of the immigration officer. so he is quite right to say he was granted a visa in to the country
EducationRe: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by aaidel(m): 7:23am On Sep 14, 2014
to be honest i don't know why nigerian parents are eager to ship off their wards to far places in the name of education unaccompanied and unsupervised if they can afford to pay his tuition then they can equally afford to have either the mum or dad go with him considering his age

secondly as an educated person why can you not book your own tickets online and only go to pay at their office if necessary in this age of online payment why allow someone else to book you to a wrong destination? Which brings me to my own story when i had a trip to the Caribbean in order to avoid visas and due to the short notice i was convinced by an agent to book a route that needed no visas needless to say by the time i got to my destination after 4 days i knew that i cannot wish my enemy such ordeal so why put myself through it? and it was there i noticed why some people claim to be maltreated by airport staff or immigration officers is that they don't know how to present themselves coherently with sufficient evidence to backup what they are saying bearing in mind that these people have heard all sorts of stories from people attempting to game the system.
EducationRe: Egypt Air Wrongly Routed A Nigerian Student To Moldova by aaidel(m): 7:13am On Sep 14, 2014
cronsberg: This is the fakest story i have ever read. From begining to the end, the whole story is DEFINATELY fake. For starters, there is nowhere in hell that any authority be it immigration, customs, or airport security, will tear your passport. Even if you are caught red handed smuggling drugs or with explosives, they definately won't rip your passport apart.
Secondly, there is no way you will go to an airline country office and specifically tell them Kiev but they book another destination for you. It has never happened. And then the Op noticed a different airport code but still went ahead with the journey? grin grin camman guys!!
Thirdly, you didn't eat for three days? Does that mean you are travelling with zero cash on you? Highly unlikely, if not what stops you from patronizing all the Mcdonalds, KFCs, Burger Kings, E.t.c that i know for sure exist inside both cairo and istanbul international airports?
Fourthly, So you heard the announcement like: This is the boarding announcement for Egypt air flight ------- for Moldova and you still went ahead to board the flight? The alternate scenario is that the announcement is for a flight to Kiev which magically terminated in Moldova(which is impossible) or else the whole airport would be in caos as every passenger would be complaining.
Fifthly, Airline cabin crew doesn't have the authority to detain anyone, So how come they detained you and even tore your passport to pieces?
Six, It is IMPOSSIBLE not to be served several dishes on an international flight. Sleeping passengers are woken up to choose their meal, unless you specifically tell them you don't want anything(after they wake you up), which is not likely because then hunger will kill you.

Look hear mehn, this is nothing but a cheap blackmail against egypt air that common sense will tell you is fake. I ain't saying Egypt air ain't bad though, the murraphukers once served me a vegetarian meal made up of only leaves while rest of the passenger were enjoying beef or fish or chicken. At another time, they refused to allow me exit the airport while i am on a 21 hour transit time at cairo international airport. I won't blame them for that though as everyone is required to have a transit visa before exiting the airport(i didn't have one), but they still gave us meal tickets and constantly brought us hot tea and were generally nice. That was back then, now the transit time in cairo is less than 3 hours for all destinations.
Well, now i prefer flying Emirates anyway not because other airlines are bad, but because everything about emirates is just world class
finally a sane person some of these stories that touch the heart self
Jobs/VacanciesRe: The Over-hyping Of First Class Honours In Nigeria by aaidel(m): 5:19am On Sep 02, 2014
SamSara01: Friday 5th of September will make it exactly 3 months I passed out of service. I'm a 1st class holder and the best graduating student of my department and faculty in a reputable public university in the south-west but I'm currently unemployed. Of course, my cause of worry does not major on being currently unemployed, but majors on how the hope of getting a job soon seems so deem. More worrying is how professionals, lecturers, friends, family and everyone else alike kept and keep singing to my hear how so easy it will be for people like me to secure not just a job but a very good job. As it is, I don't seem better off than someone who spent every single night at a night club while I was burying my head in books during my school days. How do I motivate an aspiring student who thinks what I'm carrying is the gateway to success? If this has been the tale of people like me, then 1st class honour has truly been over-hyped in Nigeria.
with writing like this your first class is suspect imagine going for an interview and making blunders like the above bolded look to bridge your deficiencies and package yourself properly and you'll soon get a job or better still use your knowledge to create one for yourself

well actually we could but then again our leaders are gutless cowards who wouldn't dare but an embargo on us trade would hit them pretty hard if it was done by all african countries

this is what happens when people apply laws stupidly how can you ask a child to give consent? for the mere fact she is still considered a child by the law means she cannot give out consent without parental approval and as for the dead husband serves him right wether 14 or 44 if a woman indicates her displeasure in being with you please let her be or face the consequences

FoodRe: some Cancer Causing Foods You Probably Eat Every Day by aaidel(m): 4:10am On Aug 04, 2014
xp17: you can downsize the eating of those ,or better eat their close substitutes instead.

-vegetable oil can be replaced with olive oil or butter.

-preserved potato chips can with replaced by personal fried ones or plantain chips made with olive oil.

-soda can be replaced with water or 100% fruits juice.

- alcohol is best taken at minima, could reduce heart diseases if not in excess.

-red meat can be replaced with sea food

-sugar and other sweetening can be substituted with honey

-canned foods can be substituted with fresh ones.

-fat free substituted with workouts

-cigarette is number one by not on my list. na only that one no get replacement huh


to me , those can be reduced or totally avoided

AutosRe: Open Letter To Inspired Autos by aaidel(m): 8:05pm On Aug 02, 2014
txswat: Personally I don't know why anyone would insist on doing business with him from her on out. If anyone does and they get played then they better not complain on NL. It would help if Seun and the other mods on here would help look into the issues. But I guess the almighty green paper might get in the way of that getting accomplished. His ads and banners are still plastered all over NL. I don't get it!
well you know what they say some must fall mugu and as for seun i won't really blame him he is also running a business best he can do is when the current arrangement he has with inspired is done not to renew it as for mods we all know the politics they play but at the same time when doing business due diligence is done by parties involved not hoping someone will bail you out when something goes wrong
AutosRe: Open Letter To Inspired Autos by aaidel(m): 4:46am On Aug 02, 2014
after following a lot of the complaints on inspired i think his problem is threefold
1.like most entrepreneurs he has no idea how to expand his business and delegate tasks to his subordinates the fact that he is still taking orders personally is a sign of this and quite frankly there is no way you can run a good business alone.

2. his success has probably gotten to his head: any sales job is a customer service industry and i doubt he would have made it this far by talking to or treating customers the way he is now so its obvious the changes came after the success and as they say pride cometh before a fall

3. the way preorders are dragging a long time could be an indication of diversion of funds meant for preorders to other things or to clean up already existing messes either that or these cars are coming in and he is selling them for higher amounts to other people while the original owner of the car is kept waiting whatever the reason this is a sign of lack of integrity and honesty.

my advice to all those that still insist on doing business with him is that make sure you have an iron clad agreement with lawyers stating what happens if either party defaults, and more importantly keep at the back of your mind that you will never get your car in 21 days 2 months is probably a better estimate
HealthRe: Salaries Of Doctors And Other Health Workers In Some Countries by aaidel(m): 9:44am On Jul 13, 2014
all this people arguing this sunday prettywow or whatever your name is you keep ranting for other health professionals to be allowed to reach the peak of their career's? have you ever heard of any dr wanting to be a matron? why suddenly do nurses want to bear the title of consultant to my understanding every health professional wether unionized or not should be able to negotiate what they deem is fair compensation for their services but it will be very stupid of one to go to the negotiating table with salary figures of a different profession. Imagine your gateman asking for a pay rise because your househelp makes more than him or vice versa is that not ludicrous. agitate for what you feel is fair compensation but not by comparing apple's and spinach

HealthRe: Nma Strike, The Nurses' Perspective. by aaidel(m): 6:38am On Jul 12, 2014
a simple solution to all this is that we force all health workers to obtain the same degree MBBS let all of them be dr's so there will be no more conflict
HealthRe: Nma Strike, The Nurses' Perspective. by aaidel(m): 6:36am On Jul 12, 2014
all these people are not being sincere, i have experienced several family members being hospitalized and have seen the ugly side of all these so called professionals is it the nurses that will not empty urine bags, or that will sit for hours waiting for a dr to come put in an iv line, or is it the dr's that are so arrogant that they don't take the time to explain anything concisely or even berate you for not having money for some expensive therapies. As long as all of the health workers don't realize that they are in a customer service industry and act accordingly the nigerian medical system is in and will remain in trouble.
