babaolofin: It is not constitutional but the National Assembly can amend it. Nnamani, Chukwumerije led the opposition from National Assembly ably supported by Atiku and IBB.
El - Rufai and other intelligent radicals were the ones in support of 3rd term because of the projection that crude would rise to $118/ barrel by 2008. As at this period, oil was around $60 or a little above or below. 2. Estimated $60 billion in ECA & other investment & oil price is still increasing. Categorically they told Obasanjo anybody coming as president will spend the money lavishly. 3. They believe ongoing IPP and other key projects would be suspended. This made Obj to make upfront payments on IPP to a level. 4 .Refineries that were sold need government protection from NNPC Labour Union and others to takeoff.
At last, they were right. In 2008 oil jumped to $108/barrel, 2013 around $140/barrel, they did not save one (1K) Kobo and they were borrowing. They spent almost half of the money Obj left. The IBOs don't want anybody to do analysis of that government.
Refineries and IPP came to zero.
We should be thinking about the way forward now.
Dangote refinery cannot start work late 2022 or first quarter 2023. They have been postponing commencement since 2018. They may start late 2023 or early 2024 if Tinubu wins.
Deep insights from you there @babaolofin.
It seems you were in that government at that time to have such insider information. I don't doubt your submission because it is NOT EVERYTHING that you find in the public domain. In fact all the politicians from opposing camps are very close friends and they meet in social clubs to fraternise.
The Dangote Refinery not opening in late 2022 will be dire because of the Russian-Ukraine war, and increase in fuel price worldwide, including the global inflation that is already in full effect and biting hard on citizens of major countries of the world.
These video interviews with the American billionaire investor Ray Dalio will give you more insights on what is coming up. The government in Nigeria and the incoming one had better be prepared for the next global recession. A lot of global economic storms will affect Nigeria and Africa as a whole, except for those who are prepared.
babaolofin: Is it Buhari that made diesel to be sold at 850 per litre? No. Nigeria cannot afford to pay subsidy on Diesel. Nigeria cannot peg dollar to naira rate, it is a bad economic theory. Demand and supply must be allowed to regulate exchange rate. Government can only work on factors controlling the forces of demand and supply of foreign currencies.
Until we can produce locally most of the things we consume, we shall continue to have this type of problem.
Nigerians rejected Obasanjo 3rd term. Obasanjo is a Messiah to Nigeria. There could be other Messiah, but till date, Obasanjo is a Messiah. If the 3rd term had been allowed, Nigeria would have gone far. Refineries that were privatised would have been functioning well and other refineries would have been built. IPP which Obasanjo started which was suspended for almost 3 years and later haphazardly implemented would have been successfully completed.
Dangote tried. He is a man of Courage. You cannot carryout such a gigantic refinery project under duress and tension.
Yaradua came and reversed the sale of refineries Obasanjo fought to sell. If those refineries have been left in the hands of Private sector, the Diesel crises we are having today would not have been there. It would have impacted on the economy and generates millions of jobs directly and indirectly.
Now, whenever there is energy crisis, Dangote will be under tension. As I have said, the only option for Dantata family and Dangote is to work for Tinubu to win Presidential Election. Dangote himself knows Tinubu's Presidency is a done deal for the completion of that Refinery. Many people hate Dangote, they never wanted that refinery to be completed. Against all odds, Tinubu will support that project for completion.
Nigeria would overcome her problems.
@babaolofin,
3rd term is not constitutional, and you know that!
OBJ himself said he didn't ask those folks to campaign for 3rd term for him, and this was widely published in the newspapers both online and offline.
I thought Dangote Refinery is due to take off in the 3rd quarter of 2022... what is happening to that projection?
If Dangote gets onstream in late 2022, that should reduce the pressure on the economy and price of diesel and PMS and APC could have more leverage to win the election... if NOT them APC will have to just take what they get because Nigerians from what I have seen are more interested in the economy and security.
MadeMen4Life: I’ve just checked the CCTV with my landlord now, lo and behold, the guy in the picture stole my package…. My flat has a kinda touch key that opens the front door, every tenant has a fob kinda key, the landlord reiterate that isn’t a tenant. How did the guy entered, I don’t know…. I’ve been calling police number since but it’s just been on hold… Mehn, I’m flabbergasted. UK is a jungle too, not much different from 9ja….
Imagine someone just bringing Ghana must go bag to raid peoples flat for delivery… I will follow this case to the end… I will be visiting police station every day… The swag box cost me a lot…
I’m really pained
This raid by an outsider was done with the knowledge of an insider.
jinxet2000: Most of the tokumbo cars you buy in Nigeria were like this in the USA. but the difference is that they fixed it in US before they arrive to Nigeria. While some other are brought back as is to Nigeria before it is repaired. The reason for the repair is made in Nigeria is simply cost. Not just the cost to repair but the cost of clearing. It is cheaper to clear a damaged vehicle than clear a running vehicle. A typical example is buying a 2018 SUV that is damaged in USA at $4000. You decided to repair it in USA and get it back to good condition. When you bring it into Nigeria, custom will not believe the cost of the vehicle so they will charge you averagely. which makes it little more expensive. However, the advantage of fixing in US is very simple, part are bought brand new, tools for repair are available and the skill is there to make it look like brand new. If you want to become importer of cars in damaged condition of parts of damaged cars, contact me jinxet2000@yahoo.com I deal with auto. I buy and sell non-damaged cars but there is opportunity in damaged and fixed cars and parts.

SerikiFulani: We need to stop this attitude of forcing people to do certain things like getting married, giving birth.
I'm 42 years old and I'm not thinking of marriage or giving birth cos it doesn't benefit me...
I have friends who are in their late 40's and who are unmarried and unbothered about it...These are multi millionaires I'm talking about.
Smh
Just do it!... or get a lady who is on the same page with you and have 2 or 3 kids with her without getting married to her. But take good care of her and the kids and NOT take them for granted. You don't want to be alone in old age, especially when your health begins to go south.
(It seems some folks who are wealthy and were born in the 1970s (they are in their late 40s to 50 years, are still left who are not married with kids yet... or they have one or two kids without ever being married. I personally know some too).
Adonis86: Please is it a crime to decide not to marry? My mother have stop receiving anything from me because she insisted I must get married, Am the only son in the family of 6 girls,am the second child, Am 37 years, there are some certain things that made me not want to get married, ,am living comfortable and don't want to have anything with ladies, Can't I make decision for my self , I don't need a woman in my life, she always cry anytime I come home that she need grand children,all my sisters have been begging me I don't know what to do,how do I go about this, should I stop coming home? as a matter of fact my sisters always come to my house with their girlfriend and she will tell me ,this one is still single oo.https://www./igboistandfriends/permalink/3305866466311474/?flite=scwspnss
Then just get a woman who is willing pregnant. The woman has to be on the same page with you with regards to NOT getting married for now. Consequently, both of you might end up getting married down the road after the kids have dropped IMHO.
FrauleinBlossom: I am not expecting that either, having seen the caliber of man Kwankwaso is. I experienced his governorship in Kano. He is overbearing and highly ambitious.Almost nobody from the northwest believes in Igbo presidency, more or less Kwankwaso who wants to be president himself. I don't even want such arrangement. Firstly, Kwankwaso will never be loyal to PO if such should happen, and to have such a disloyal, ambitious person as VP will do PO no good.
These politicians and folks have NO iota of ideology... Just changing political parties like they're changing underwears. That's a very creepy behavior. Period.
dre11: The antique dealer has refused to hand the bronze head back to Nigerian officials insisting on being paid for a certain amount of money but Nigeria insists that it will not pay for what is originally hers.
abbey621: INEC forms asked for primary and secondary schools completed. Primary school he was home schooled, secondary school he did not finish hence why he left them blank but like I said earlier black folks hardly ever do research, we prefer to wail online and ask rhetorical questions
Word!
The brilliant chartered accountant and former Mobil Oil of Nigeria senior boss, Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu is more than qualified to run for the Presidency but a mix of the fear of losing, tribalism, hate, and confirmation bias have led to simpletons here defaming this man. They even blatantly lie that he is a drug baron who is wanted in the U.S., but Tinubu travels many times every year in his private jet to the U.S. and he wouId have been arrested years ago and thrown into jail by the U.S. authorities if he is truly a drug baron.
It is time for Tinubu and his entire team to promptly identify the key people online and offline who have been defaming Tinubu for years now from as far back as 2014 that I can remember for punishment. Tinubu has to come down hard on everybody doing this because they are deliberately demarketing him.
The Japanese have just introduced drastic new laws against cyber bullying and hate speech after the death of Hana Kimura (famous Japanese lady of 22 years).
No where in the world is the kind of hate speech and peddling of falsehoods you see on NL and other online and offline platforms allowed to go unpunished in any court of law!
Get the best criminal lawyers and legal team to sue these dweebs for character assasination. Period.
seunmsg: The above is simply for those that require a genuine clarification. For those who are not interested in the truth, this is not for you. Move to another thread and wail as usual. I will be here to answer any question on the subject matter. Attached are mails from Chicago state university confirming that Tinubu actually attended the school.
If you want further information, just visit the university’s website: www.csu.edu and request for information about Bola Ahmed Tinubu, they will respond to you vide email. Again, this is for those who genuinely seek the truth.
You will recall that there was a petition dated Aug 12.1999 about the educational background and age of Asiwaju Tinubu written by Alhaji Jammed Seriki & Dr. Waliu Balogun - smith.
They accused him of lying about his age in his nominating form to INEC.
2: Gani Fawenhinmi went to court to seek for prosecution of Tinubu up to Supreme Court. Supreme Court ruled that Tinubu CANNOT be Prosecuted by the police for alleged certificate forgery. That only Lagos State House of Assembly can investigate him.
3: Then, June 4, 2013 one Dr. Dominic Adegbola asked Federal High Court Justice Saliu Saidu to re - open the suit filed by Gani Fawehinmi in 1999. The suit was to compel IG of Police to commence investigation into alleged forgery. The court dismissed the case . The court said that the applicant went to sleep since 2007 when the “toga of immunity “ could no longer shield Tinubu and suddenly woke up when the matter is statute barred . So as at today , court has exonerated Tinubu of any forgery even after leaving office . So what is the issue now as a result of Supreme Court decision, Lagos State House of Assembly under Speaker Mamora (present Minister of State) opened the probe via a motion moved by Hon. Tajudeen Agoro & a 5 man ad - hoc committee was set up with Hon Omowoare as chairman .
4. The committee sent out letter of invitation to the 2 gentlemen that wrote the petition. Those guys REFUSED to substantiate their petition. The committee even went to the addresses those guys provided and they could not find them . However , Tinubu was invited to answer
5: Tinubu came with Femi Falana who wasn’t Anthony bus stop SAN then . Tinubu admitted to the needless errors being pointed out by the petitioners and that it was Senator Tokunbo Akifuyomi that did the documentation. Then he submitted a copy of SDP Senatorial candidate form dated June 1, 1992 in which he used to contest the 1992 Senatorial election and he won as a Senator representing Lagos West. That form he personally filled . Tinubu attached the certificate of Richard Daley College and Chicago State University.
6: Qualification was B.Sc Accounting. Now, INEC in 1999 committed an error in INEC form CF01 that bore a wrong date of 28th Dec 1999 instead of 28th December, 1998. Commissioner of Oath detected the error.
7: Tinubu could not complete his secondary school because of poverty. He decided to leave for USA to find food. He did a lot of menial jobs & suffered like every young man without a rich parents or uncle or RICH TWITTER boys and girls. After 5 years,he enrolled at Richard Daley college in Chicago. Note, Tinubu did not complete his education in secondary school, therefore the college offered him basic , remedial and academic classes like IJMB in local Nigeria. He passed his remedial courses and he was offered admission to Chicago State University. He obtained Bachelor of Science in Business & Administration and his major was in Accounting. He had no scholarship like me that I enjoyed in my undergraduate and post graduate too . He was in Chicago State University from August 1977 to June 1979 . He worked with Deloitte Haskins
8. Tinubu was an employee of Mobil oil of Nigeria between Dec 1,1983 when Buhari, Babaginda, Dasuki,David Mark were preparing to overthrow Shehu Shagari & he used to pass though Dodan Barracks not knowing that fate would link him with Buhari later. He was there till May 17, 1992
9: Senator Afinkuyomi appeared with Prof Itse Sagay SAN too that he was heading the unit of Gov ‘s campaign responsible for processing of form & because of the rush & tense circumstances in Alliance for Democracy as per Guber primaries caused the confusion.
10: Chief Gani Fawenhimi also appeared to give testimony. That the committee should determine if the law has been breached. Then Femi Falana appeared on behalf of Tinubu that no evidence has been led to show that Tinubu presented forged certificate to INEC. Chicago University
11: Chicago state University has confirmed that Tinubu was a student of their University and he secured admission through Richard Daley College . The committee later sought legal advice from Chief Fred Agbaje a honest lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba, Deacon Dele Adeshina NBA chair, ikeja, finally the committee finding on the allegation of forgery was that “WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE that any forged document was presented to INEC” the only certificate presented to INEC was a transcript of CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY.
Klass99: Seven blessings to you. You articulated reality so well I couldn't help smiling. That part about the children's department of a church is so accurate, my friend works in that unit at our church, the few times we've tried to catch up after service in her classroom, it is total chaos. She can't leave until each child has been signed out and picked up by a parent, guardian or relative via a tag system they use. So, it's usually the best time for us to chill.
The experiences she shares makes me shudder sometimes, parents themselves are eager to offload their kids on Sunday school teachers for a few hours and when they are unable to, they become rude, insulting and abusive to these teachers. There are rules/regulations for each classroom, you can't admit more than a certain number for health & safety reasons and once a certain time frame has passed, they are not allowed to admit anymore children into their classrooms.
Parents are aware of the rules but they will arrive late to church and start displaying their madness, when rules are enforced. One woman even gave her child a dirty slap in front of my friend, claiming the child made them late to church. All that anger and annoyance because her child will have to sit with her in the main church auditorium meant for adults, but in a restricted area designated for parents with kids.
Some parents cannot handle their own offspring properly, instill discipline or maintain decorum with them, but they want to go to public events and unleash these same kids on people. Mbanu, please they should stay at home before the party scatter, like Fireboy sang. The text in bold made me laugh, that is typical Naija behaviour when it comes to free food.
@ Topic, I like the new trend abeg. Kids should not be allowed at Nigerian weddings if they don't have a vital role to play at it. After all what special thing do they serve at weddings, that cannot be provided for them at home?
igelomo: Airlines are constantly cancelling tickets, changing, combining, rerouting, and rescheduling flights.
And some travelers often want to change their own plans, flights, and schedule, even after buying tickets. Bankrupt airlines (Nigeria Airways), low-fare airlines, and airlines that are struggling to avoid bankruptcy are especially likely to make drastic changes to their routes and schedules, in an attempt to find a recipe for profitability.
Following is some information about what might be possible in such situations, how to arrange it, and what it might cost. You should consider these issues carefully before you buy any airline tickets. These answers to FAQ’s describe common policies and travel industry practices, but each ticket has its own set of rules.
Similar tickets sold by different airlines may have very different rules, and airlines often have incomplete information and provide inaccurate advice about the rules of tickets purchased from travel agents. If you have any questions, do not rely on this Web page: consult the travel agency from which you bought your tickets (or the airline, if you bought your tickets directly from the airline), for the exact rules of your specific tickets.
What happens if I no longer want to go to certain destinations, or to fly on certain airlines, after I have bought my airline tickets?
Don’t count on being permitted to change your route, destinations, or airlines without penalty, regardless of what happens — even in the event of illness or injury, natural disaster, war, or terrorist incident. Neither airlines nor travel agencies are required to offer refunds or waive refund or change penalties or fees in such cases, and many insurance policies exclude coverage for costs that result from war, terrorism, or government orders.
Once tickets are issued, changes of route (sequence of cities and connection points), destinations, and/or airlines can generally be made only at substantial cost. In order to change your route, destinations, or airlines after buying your tickets, you may have to buy new tickets and/or forfeit the amount you have paid for non refundable tickets that you choose not to use. With “load factors” (the percentage of seats filled with paying passengers) increasing, and more flights entirely full, there may not be any space available on an alternate flight.
What can I do if I want to change my plans?
Some airlines have made special rules for changes to tickets in the event of war, a “security alert” by the government, illness or injury, etc.. Airlines are not required to do this, or to make any exceptions to their normal cancellation, refund, and change rules. These special rules do not apply to all airlines, situations, all tickets, or all routes. Check with the airline for any special rules that may apply to your tickets, or any exceptions to normal rules that the airline may have made.
Many tickets permit date changes, as long as you stick to the originally ticketed airlines and routing and there is a flight with space available on your desired new dates. (In general, consolidator tickets purchased form a travel agency are more likely to permit date changes than are tickets purchased directly from the airline or at a published fare.) If you are no longer interested in visiting a particular destination, the most economical option is often simply to revise your dates to minimize your stay there. Depending on the flight frequency and schedules, you might be able simply to change planes and continue on, without having to leave the airport, but if flights are less frequent or fully booked you might have to spend one or more nights in transit. Check with your travel agent (or the airline, if you bought your tickets directly from the airline) for schedule options and the date change rules, fees (if any), and procedures for your specific tickets.
What if an airline changes its routes or discontinues flights because of war, terrorism, bankruptcy, strike, weather, or other events?
An airline is required either to fly you between the destinations specified on your ticket, or to give you a full refund. If the airline is still operating, and still serves the cities specified on your tickets (even on a different route, or by way of different connection points), the airline will usually arrange to transport you on alternate route. This may also require a change of dates, depending on how often alternate flights operate and how many seats are available on them. A recent example in Nigeria was the strike actions by staff of Aero Contractors. Some passengers were re-routed on other airlines.
If an airline discontinues all service on any route to a specific destination, and you have tickets to that destination, the airline will often “endorse” your ticket to another airline, and arrange for that airline to transport you for all or part of the journey. Arrangements to have tickets endorsed to an alternate airline, in the event of cancellation of service to a destination on your route, generally must be made directly with the airline on which you have tickets.
In some cases an airline may offer to reroute your tickets to an alternate destination, especially if they have discontinued service to your ticketed destination. You are not obligated to accept such an offer, but it is preferable to accept alternate transportation than to seek a refund and buy new tickets. Obviously, an airline is extremely unlikely to discontinue service to their own hub airport, if they are still operating at all, or to offer refunds, rerouting, or endorsement of tickets to other airlines on account of events in their home country.
For a refund, you need to request a refund through the travel agency or airline from which you purchased your tickets, and wait for the refund request to be processed. This process usually takes several months, so you won’t have the refund money immediately to use to buy new tickets. Note that the face value of your tickets is typically the official “published fare”. If you bought a discounted ticket, the amount you paid, and thus your refund, may be substantially less than the official fare printed on your tickets. Note also that airlines can take up to a year to process refunds.
If the original tickets were on the cheapest airline and route, new tickets will probably cost more. For all these reasons, you are generally better off trying to get the airline to fly you on an alternate route, or to an alternate destination, or to “endorse” your ticket to another airline that still serves your desired destination, rather than submitting your tickets for refund and buying new tickets.
What if I miss a connection?
You might have to pay a change fee or an additional fare, or buy a new ticket to continue your journey, regardless of the reason you missed the connecting flight. (Yes, even if it was the airline’s fault!) See this page to learn How To Book Cheap Air Ticket Yourself
Can I get a refund for my tickets if I no longer want to use them?
You might be eligible for a refund of the airfare. You might not. Most airline tickets are now completely nonrefundable (except for the taxes, as discussed below). Check with the place from which you purchased your tickets. As long as your ticketed flights are still operating as originally scheduled, neither airlines nor travel agencies are required to waive their normal processing fees or refund penalties if you change your plans because of fear of war, terrorism, or anything else.
Most airlines’ terms and conditions require the airline to provide a full and unconditional refund — even if the ticket was otherwise completely nonrefundable — if you refuse to accept a change in the scheduled flight time — no matter how slight — after you have bought your ticket. This applies only if the schedule is changed. If the schedule remains the same, but the flight actually departs or arrives late (or early), your nonrefundable ticket remains nonrefundable. But if you present yourself to check in, and are told, “By the way, your flight is now scheduled to depart 3 minutes later than the time on your ticket”, you are entitled to say, “That’s not acceptable to me. I demand all the money I paid for this ticket back, without any airline penalty.” (If you purchased the ticket through a travel agency, you may still have to pay any penalty or refund fee charged by the travel agency, which could be substantial.) If you want to change, rather than cancel, your tickets, getting a refund is useful only if there is still time, and still seats available, to buy new tickets for less than what it would cost to change the old ones. But in many cases, particularly with completely nonchargeable tickets (which are increasingly common), refusing to accept a schedule change may be your only way to avoid a 100% penalty. If you want to do this, make sure you don’t do anything that could be construed as “acceptance” of the schedule change, such as responding, “OK”. Let them know immediately that the change is “unacceptable”. You may need to point them to the specific language in their tariff, but that should be easy, since they are required to have their tariff available for inspection at every place where tickets are sold. (If the tariff is available only in electronic form, they are also required to assist you in retrieving and searching it.)
You might be eligible for a refund (again, even if your ticket is otherwise nonrefundable) if you refuse to permit yourself or your luggage to be searched, if you refuse to “produce positive identification” on demand, or if the the airline refuses to transport you. But some airlines have begun to change their rules to prohibit refunds of nonrefundable tickets in such cases. So check the airline’s rules before you ask for a refund, or before you buy a ticket, if you aren’t sure the airline will be willing to transport you.
If you don’t actually fly, regardless of the reason and regardless of whether the fare is refundable, you should be entitled to a full refund of all the taxes included in the price of your airline ticket. Government’s in different countries have interpreted this differently. in Canada, for example, the government has required airlines to refund taxes on unused tickets, while in the USA the Department of Transportation has accepted airlines’ arguments that transportation tax is payable on the “sale” of the ticket, even if no transportation is provided. And more and more airlines fail to provide a breakdown of the taxes and surcharges included in ticket prices, so it can be hard to tell how much of what you have paid is tax, and how much is “fuel” or other “surcharges” that actually are part of the fare, and are always kept by the airline. It’s even harder to tell which of the taxes are payable on the sale and which are payable only if you actually travel, whether the airline has passed the taxes on to the government, and if so, to which government(s). The only way to find out is to submit your tickets for a refund of the taxes whenever you aren’t able to use them — even if the fare is nonrefundable. If you don’t like this situation, complain to the relevant government agencies. For Nigeria, check here
If you decide to submit your tickets for refund, these points are VERY IMPORTANT: (1) cancel your reservations before your scheduled travel date, (2) save your original physical tickets or e-ticket receipts and documentation of cancellation of your reservations, and (3) contact the airline or travel agency from which you bought your tickets for refund instructions.
W[b]ho should I contact if I need or want to make changes, or if the airline has cancelled or changed the flights I was supposed to be on?[/b]
Often it is easiest to contact the airline on which you are ticketed to fly. As long as they are still operating, they will usually take care of necessary changes for you, even if that requires “endorsing” your ticket to another airline. Well, we understand that the customer service culture of some domestic airlines in Nigeria are appalling, but the ticketed transporting airline is not necessarily the airline contractually obligated to do these things. So don’t be surprised, and don’t assume they are lying (although they might be!) if they say you have to deal with some other airline. Each ticket, even for flights on multiple airlines, is issued by a single airline identified, somewhat confusingly, in the “issued by” box (even when the ticket is actually issued by a travel agency and not the airline itself). That “issuing” or “validating” airline may not be the one form whom you thought you were buying the ticket, may not actually be operating any of your flights, and may not even have its codeshare on any of them. But it initially gets all your money and is responsible for parceling it out to the transporting airline(s) as well as for fulfilling your contract of carriage. If the ticketed transporting airline won;t or can;t accommodate you, it’s usually the validating airline you have to deal with to make any necessary changes. If you have a set of tickets for several flights, perhaps on different airline, they may have been issued as one ticket or as several tickets, validated on the same or different airlines. The problem is that most ticket sales Web sites, including those both of airlines and of travel agencies, fail to tell you which flights will be ticketed separately or which airline (not necessarily any of the operating airlines or those whose flight numbers appear on the flights) will issue your tickets. In the USA, Department of Transportation regulations at 14 CFR 399.83 require the airline to give you an actual ticket, which would show all of this information and more, but that rule is routinely violated and has never been enforced. Always demand a ticket when you pay, not just an itinerary or confirmation showing that you have some sort of ticket(s) for certain flights. If you have an e-ticket, what you want is a complete copy, or at minimum the “passenger receipt teller”. If the airline won’t give you one, make a formal complaint and enforcement request to the Department of Transportation.
If your ticket says something like “REFUND ONLY THROUGH ISSUING AGENT” or “REF ISS AGT ONLY” in the “ENDORSEMENTS” box, you may have to request a refund through the agent form whom you purchased it, rather than through an airline office. In some cases, changes to tickets may require you to refund one or more tickets, and buy a new ticket or tickets. However, airlines often lie to passengers about their relationships with travel agencies and agents, and about the refund value of tickets. Never buy new tickets, in the expectation of being able to get a refund for your original tickets, without checking first with the agency from which you purchased your original tickets. No matter what an airline office may try to tell you, any change to tickets not requiring a refund can be made directly by the issuing airline.
kikio1992: Meet John Collison, who can today be referred to as the World's youngest self-made billionaire, after he dropped out from Havard to focus on his business.
When people look down on you, and think crazy of that bright idea you have got, just keep moving and don't lose hope. The story of this young man is sure to inspire you, and make you realise that you can make it in life regardless of your educational qualification.
John Collison, the cofounder and president of Stripe, is the world's youngest self-made billionaire at 27, and you can do the same, there is no limits to the heights we can attain in life.
John started Stripe, designed to transform the way people make online payments, with his older brother when he was just 19.
Originally from a small town in Ireland, he came to the US to attend Harvard until he dropped out to focus on Stripe in Silicon Valley, and now he has hit Silicon Gold.
John Collison has a net worth of $1.1 billion today, after Stripe's $9 billion valuation in the year 2016. Today, Collison enjoys flying planes, running, and hiking with members of the Stripe team.
madjune: I keep saying it, it was Babangida that destroyed the Nigerian economy.
Nigeria was perfectly fine in 1985, before he came in.
I remember going to school with 30 kobo coins in my pocket and will use it for almost a week.
This man came in, borrowed IMF loan from world Bank, started changing the currency and coins and since then, it's been a free fall for the Naira.
Funny thing is, the average youth here knows nothing about this.
Our elders say, "If you don't know where the rain began to beat you, you may never know where it stops..."
@Madjune... You're absolutely correct!
From 1986 things started going south after the introduction of SAP by Babangida and many expatriates (from Ghana, India, Bangladesh, Jamaica, UK and U.S.) who arrived and taught in Nigerian Universities, high schools, and primary schools (during the oil boom of the early 1970s to 1982), started leaving for greener pastures in Europe, Canada, and the U.S.
I had friends and school buddies among the children of these expats back in the day. A very nostalgic period when the iconic Nigeria Airways ruled the skies, and British Caledonian and PanAm flew regularly into Nigeria to pick passengers going to London and NY in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ebubu4: it is actually those ipob boys and ugm, esn kids, alongside anambra supremacists who are carrying peter obi for president the most.
you then ask why has biafra or death chants stopped since obi announced his presidential ambition. no more biafra or death, no more gunshots on sit at home days, even when ipob has called it off.
i truly truly hate SE politics.
uche ekwunife, the uba brothers and others in anambra pdp who selected delegates and told them who to vote for = atiku.
they wont attack those ones, their fellow anambra brothers who sold igbo presidency on platter of gold.
they are busy attacking tinubu who formed apc, and used influence to get his own yoruba brothers to resign for him and be treated well.
Tekrify: I saw everything he said.. he wasnt cynical about it.. it the pure fact..and u just proof urself as a sample ur d dull one here since u cannot differentiate between forcing igbo on others and taking some group of people as less igbo.
the summary of the igbo tribe is dat..people from anambra, imo and abia are actually the ones forcing igbo on some ethnic group in rivers state. but these same people from these state feel they are more igbo dan Nsukka and ebonyi people, I can bet that if ur igbo..u belong to one of this state and have the same mentality.. that y u can support dat other eedioottt dat said ebonyi gave land for RUGA...
d Biafra u guys were shouting... have u guys not relaxed now.. did u ever see anything like UGM in ebonyi or at least as worse as ur state... d nnamdi kanu dat u guys take as the one u worship...how fa ..how d story 2day? see why Buhari remained silent most times allowed the igbos completely display their foolishness... now it no longer biafra..it peter obi for president
Tekrify: Igbo is igbo..ignore those parasite with other believe... this is why Biafra can never stand.. Igbo people have excessive self inflicted hatred.. that is why some will hate the other and go ahead and use stupid things like state boundaries to describe imaginary differences..
as long as abakaliki and nsukka people are looked down on.ngwa people are still hated..anambra despising enugu and having issues with imo..then forget it..we will generally become a laughing stock in politics..
that y i support Umahi for leaving dat useless party called pdp.. it obvious that the needed support to push an igbo man to the no. one seat can never be achieved with SE politicians.... it is better to seek alliance with the SW nd North..nonsense
Tekrify: na igbo dey wail pass for marginalization..but it still Igbo dat practice it more than any ethnic group in africa.. see the rubbish you just spilled from ur mouth.. in abia state..Ngwa people are the most hated, anambra despise Enugu..the hatred for abakaliki people by other state in the south east is even the worst...in anambra some igbo group with just minor differences despise each other..
that is the reason why we always remain 6th class citizen in this country..the last primaries in both main parties speak the truth of the rot in igbo land..
FYI..ebonyi is the fast developing state in the SE..let dat sink in ur head too and there is no man more Igbo or less igbo than the other
