ValCon888:
Helicopters are the most difficult aircrafts to fly and the most dangerous.

Unlike planes that want to stay on the air, helicopters are constantly looking for a way to kill you.
Sad but true.

Once it's starts to tail spin, it's the end.

Airplane do have recovery.. if one engine fail the pilot could switch to the good engine etc..

Lots of maneuver with Airplane but not with helicopters.

Why didn't they do emergency landing to take the person to hospital for medical attention?
The plane was diverted to Puerto Rico.

In emergency landing, the plane wouldn't just drop-down from the sky.

It depends how far they are from the nearest airport .. the pilot still have to run some checklist and burn some fuel before landing

Imagine David alaba, saka and other Nigerian stars decides to play for super eagles, damn! We'll be unstoppable!

Nigeria is fast becoming the gaint of Africa. If not for our bad and evil leaders, Nigeria would have been number one in Africa by now in terms of infrastructure and development
Having the players is one thing. Having a s good TEAM is another.

Our problem is having a good team, not having good players because in the whole of Africa, Nigeria have the best player stock on individuality but our problem have always been having a TEAM.

I wish the super eagles the best and I hope they win the finals.

But with the harsh economic situation, both President and VP should have been in the country working out deals, swapping emails and phone calls how to get the economy back on track.

CrimeRe: Nursing Mother Brutalises Her Maid In Anambra by Badgers14: 9:51am On Feb 08, 2024
The NGO got a bad deal for the girl in my opinion.

I would have asked for 10m, 3 million upfront then fix the remaining 7m to be assessed when she turned 18.

Given the mother of the victim 30k for the upkeep of the victim is nothing.. augmentin is now 25k.

The trauma this girl had to pass through can't be quantified in money but atleast, a decent amount upfront would help get grow to get to 18yrs to claim the remaining.

A parent sending their child away at this tender age most likely aren't financially bouyant..
So the 3m upfront should help the parents augment there business and provide for their family making sure they don't send her away again and enabling her to be taken care of medically and otherwise.

so like this, which way biko cause it's like an looped circuit with no exit
The situation on ground.. seems like economic sabotage Promax. I thought it was bad during GEJs tenure.. Buhari's government was worse and Tinubu's government goes hold my beer.

For lack of better word.. it is like a hopeless situation.. and almost irredeemable...( but I do hope and pray for a miracle for it to be redeemed)

It's makes me sad to see how things are bad for the common man.

Like we all are discussing building construction here.. now let's say someone managed to raise $63k to build a house in this current clime.. now where you go see legitimate tenants that would rent the place?

How many people can comfortably afford the high rent at this time, even yahoo boys sef... if you allow them in your property and stomach their wahala.. when there rent expires.. it is usually war for them to pay.

Rent was probably lower in naira at N367 also but it would still give much higher equivalent in dollars.
Well not by much in average though..

I don't know if this is an outlier but the actual building I used in my calculations here.. rent was 700k/yr in 2020 and the rent is still same in 2024.

No western union money transfer outside Nigeria cheesy
Although there are alternatives... say you do transfer for others that need it.

The pesin would want you to transfer at bdc rate of 1525.. say man got 3m in rent and want to use it for one or two at base.. 3m would give ya $1,967 (@1525/$1).. that's is not even enough to pay one month rent for many people .

Compared to 367/$1 that would fetch $8,174 (for 3m)

You got me scratching my head sir.
I think last year the value is about a million while it is around 1.5 million today.
I think it's nero2424 that once told me that the increase in price of materials in Nigeria doesn't bother diasporas.
The dollar is not going anywhere, it's the naira that is bolting.
Exactly, for diasporans.. as bad as it sound.. now is the time to build .

2019/2020 to build 6 flats of 3 bdrm from foundation to finishing is 38-45m at exchange rate 356 - 367 = $122,615 ( 367 /$1).

This year to erect similar project would cost about 80 - 92m at 1,525 per $1 would give us....wait for it.. wait for it... $63,000.

Half the cost!!!

But the problem is that the money is trapped in Nigeria, when you want to wire the money back to abroad na when you will be crying wah wah grin grin

No dollar no dollar yet we have so much dollar seating idle and hoping it sells for N5000.
Now the exchange rate has been collapsed properly, those speculators will start scheming to have the naira weaken on both windows so they can sell with profit. I blame the FG who kept pumping cheap dollar into banks and trusting them to sell it cheap.
CBN weren't regulating the flow properly... at least according to what former deputy governor of Kano said a week ago.

You are talking lur own story ..nobody can stop anybody to leave to thier country as far as the yhold a valid passport for thier country..B4 now check the post how folks here said yiu cannot travel with an 3xpired passport.U seeing iga at the top is u encouraging corruption and all the things we frown against at the airport.
Oga sir, my suggestion is to follow what obinoscopy said earlier.. if you are able to renew your passport while in Nigeria, please do it even if you don't have the renewed passport, have documentation that proved that you have initiated the process.

That I saw oga at the top doesn't mean anything exchanged hands.. after much preaching from the oga how they are trying to make Nigeria better etc.. he said he will let this slide because I was not doing ' big man, do you know who I am" that I was conversing with him in a calm voice and explaining my situation.. they know there was passport scarcity at the time but they still want people to make an effort to do the right thing that's why the paperwork that proves the process was done will suffice.

Abeg, let's leave big grammar aside.. please if you are able to renew it in Nigeria, do it otherwise they could frustrate your movement and you might miss your return flight.

YinkaOlusesi16:
Money dey this country oooo but in the wrong hands.
Our problem in this country is mismanagement of our resources.

Our brothers and sisters outside of the country repatriated more money than the national budget for many years in a row now.

So basically if the national budget is 1m, our families abroad repatriated 1.2m extra making it 2.2m

But our politicians can't stop looting.. they relooted Abacha's returned Loot..

No project of substance.. we don't have 24hrs power supply... our road networks are bad.. our school systems from primary to tertiary is bad..

Multinational companies are leaving the country.

When you need to pay your kids school fees abroad or your supplier in China..

Bank tells you they don't have any dollar but direct you to BDC. You go to BDC and buy dollar to deposit in the "bank" . The bank turns around and sells that dollar to BDC and the circle continues.

Now tell me, why can't we just walk in our bank and request for a wire transfer and the bank deduct the money in naira and wire the money to the respective recipient abroad? It's not like our bank will carry that cash we deposited to go and deposit the cash abroad .. they still conduct the transaction electronically?

So why don't they conduct the transaction electronically from the get go instead of the merry go round with the BDC?

Kidnappers will kidnap someone and collect ransom via wire transfer or have the victim empty their bank account to the kidnappers account..

The police find it hard to track the kidnappers? Why can't the police work with the telecom companies to track the cell phone of the victim and the kidnappers? Why can't the police trace the bank account that received the ransom and arrest the owner of the account?

People are missing daily but police can't work with telecom company to track their cellphone.. check their last few calls and text and query the last individuals the victim communicated with to get some lead.

A politicians will loot and just share bags of rice during election and people come online to praise them instead of demanding good governance.

Politicians will share Okada as empowerment during election then ban Okada when they are sworn in.

We all know what's right in this country but will not do it.
