The Federal Nigeria Society for the Blind, a non-profit organisation established for the rehabilitation and training of adults and adolescents living with vision impairment in Nigeria held an event to raise fund and celebrate the blind on 28 May, 2016 at the Muson Centre, Lagos.

This year's event tagged "Masked May Ball" had activities like fashion show by Bumi Deju, a celebrity auction featuring Sola Sobowale, Fathia Balogun and Stephanie Okereke-Linus.

Realdeals:
what President Buhari and his team promised us before last elections is CHANGE! Change means clear departure from the normal. It is a definite step from away from the usual. The usual before March 28th, 2015 election was impunity, poor leadership and directionless nation.
Change is an act or process through which something becomes different. We all agreed our nation has been on a wrong direction for long. From military era to the immediate past government, Nigeria was enmeshed in corruption. Everyone, including the deaf, heard clearly Buhari’s promise of change. In my view, president Buhari has kept faith with this promise in the last one year. Pains and some hardship tag along this change, but we as a people must learn to defer pleasure with little pains today.
His stands on corruption fight, which we all taunt as our major enemy leaves no one in doubt. What I feel the concerns of Nigeria enemies are the tenacity and brutality on how the corruption war is being fought.

Some people won't like this post

yongnoble:
only in Nigeria that we have three different exchange rates;

$1 = N197 (For the Dangotes, Friends and Family of the president)
$1 = N285 (For oil Marketers)
$1= N340 (For the general public).

What a shame. This govt should resign already it seems they have no clue about how to govern.

NavierStokes:
Maybe the government appointed "BDCs" have made enough money from the official "round tripping", and government is now ready to focus on the reality. Heads or tails it's a government plagued with madness.

timpaker:
Yet, they preach about forgiveness and tolerance.

Smh.

What's the crime that both of em can't come to terms with?

Well, Christians should know better.

Bari22:
I still wonder why some people call jonathan their Hero despite the facts implicating him as the worst and corrupt president ever in the history of Nigeria. If we can stop religious sentiment, tribalism and support Buhari's government i'm sure what will be recovered from jonathan and his allies will be more than enough to overcome the current challenges. Nigerians be wiser please.

emiwanlee:
But yet he is hated by buhari while mediocres are given national recognition

delishpot:
When I build a house I build a strong house and put in every measure to avoid accidents. Yes we are all involved We can do our bit in everyday life like not cheating clients, building proper houses, buying quality items for our company instead if buying cheap ones and pocketing the money. Unless you are suggesting we start mobbing the builders of any building that falls down or any contractor that short changes the society. If so, I get your point

EdCure:
Happy birthday, Rt. Hon. Rotimi
Amaechi. You are a role model to many of us.

You epitomise a resilient, dogged leader with strong convictions.

Mogidi:
He delivered good governance hence his protégé was unsuccessful in his bid to become governor.
Amaechi is high on grade 1 Buhari urine.

Travel / Re: United Airline Pulls Out Of Nigeria by anonimi: 9:29am On May 27


anomini abi alumni was trying to mock me when i said i cant advice my enemies to fly arik....
you see arik seat as e worse pass your molue seat?
arik is one useless airline.... funny thing is that they cant be found anywhere on GDS.

holluwai:
Nigeria!!!!!!! I weep for thee

holamiday:
anonimi i'm not sayin APC haven't disappointed us so far. Of course they have not been able to get through with many of their promises. But then this is our country. We all want her to survive and must act accordingly. Support from all of us, to the party in power, is the least we can do.

Bethelwealthy:
lets call a spade by its name....... We have big problem as a result of the current govt and some dillusional youths will still condemn a statement of fact just because it is stated by an Opposition party??
........who has bewitched you Naija Youth??

holamiday:
What, for goodness' sake is wrong with this country. Belittling the ruling party is such a reprehensible act by the PDP. In developed countries, the opposition understand the fact that they have no choice but to support the party in power. Why can't we copy the same? The country is bigger than any political party. Is this what PDP will continue to do till 2019? Putting the reigning party down? Praying and hoping things go wrong so they can gain points? Is it worth it? Why is Africa this backward & blind? It's so pathetic, i tell you. Why can't we all come together and support whoever is in power? I'm yet to see anything as complicated as Nigerian politics. Africa is such a huge mess. Everyone is just out for their own selfish motives. Where do we go from here?

I'm so disappointed. I wish things could go just perfectly.

obinna2nv:
I know PDP is supposed to be an opposition party, but now they're acting more like a PROPHET of DOOM PARTY (PDP).

AjanleKoko:
LOL.
I admire the idealism and patriotism and whatnot. But not actually going to engage you on that.
I'd rather educate you about aviation procedures, which I know a bit about. This particular incident I know about intimately.

1. There is an Auxilliary Power Unit (APU) in the tail of every aircraft, which powers AC, lighting, instruments, and other avionics, while the aircraft is not in service.

2. When they start loading people and goods, they plug in a Ground Power Unit (GPU) which provides power to light above.

3. They only disconnect GPU and start engines when they are ready to be towed away from the gate. In fact, they don't even start engines until the plane is ready to move in forward direction. Planes can't reverse.

In this particular episode, there were some ground-related issues, as well as delayed clearance for takeoff (documentation issues). What you do normally in that case is, you keep the GPU plugged in so AC can keep working. On this flight, they took the GPU away and switched off AC for 2 hours plus, because the APU would drain if you use airconditioning.

So the blowout you witnessed was after 120+ minutes of waiting. I take many many flights, and delays are not uncommon from MMA, prior to take off. Even at Heathrow sef, BA is notorious for keeping Nigerians waiting. I'm yet to see a BA London-Lagos flight that takes off on time. But to decide to bake people for two hours Haba mallam.
