According to the company, monthly fuel costs per cabin have risen from around $1,800 to as high as $8,000 in parts of Asia, which is a heavy importer of energy from the Middle East.

The lazy and timid Arabian gulf nations have been subsidizing the fake and borrowed lifestyle of Americans until Iran shut the free petrodollars and cheap fuel.

Many companies are folding up in US due to their reckless criminal Trump's war on Iran.

I used to wonder why the US is so much obsessed with oil that it goes all over the world to get it both legally and illegally then I saw a documentary on US WAR MACHINE and knew why , apart from domestic use by its over 300 million inhabitants it needs oil for its fighter jets , carriers etc, exception is nuclear power subs
Once it can't access cheap oil legally for all those war machines, they go the illegal way like they did in Venezuela

With the spread of POS operators at different areas of the country, when last did you use and ATM machine?

Who goes to ATM these days
POS ti take over
And since it's now even more expensive to use other banks ATM, na POS to the rescue

Losers always complain of election rigging.
Donald did it 2020
Obi did it in 2023
Atiku did it in 2023
Even Buhari did it in2011
Obi.will do it in 2027
Atiku will do it in 2027.
Losers must complain.

Trump will do so again after the mid terms

DenreleDave:
Dear Nairalanders,

Have you ever had any experience working with a company thay owes salary for as much as 2 to 4 months?

If Yes, how did you scale through this issue pending when you are applying for other options?

To be sincere, this is my first experience and I must confess, it is affecting my mental health. I have never been known to borrow money but since I started working for this company, I have been borrowing to feed even as begging for data.....

Worst still, this happened to me when I have just rented a new apartment and I am basically exhausted.

Kindly share tips on how you basically survive this kind of experience especially when another job is yet to come.

Stealing will be the order of the day

Even those paying regularly still has to contend with thieving staff, not to talk of one owing Salaries
Sometimes the owners know the staff are stealing that's why they don't pay as and when due

Baxilexi:
It’s the hypocrisy for me.
They would never support democracy in Iran or china.
They become tone deaf once justice is demanded in the murderous countries they support, but find their voices and faith in the western electoral process

Imagine supporting a Putin that had Navalny jailed and he later died in prison. They love him more than trump that hasn’t killed ilham or any one that rivals his government. Who dares antagonizes Putin?

Whoever told you democracy as a form of government is perfect
Allow people explore other governance options

Sheuns:
Why did the people vote APC in 2015 if they knew they would only continue in the footsteps of PDP and even worse.

They didn't know because APC didn't say

Racoon:
Just proving themselves incompetent everywhere.Meaning the NRC cant manage its own train to provide adequate railway commuting for passengers.

Private airlines, jets, Sadly private ICUs are running inside FG teaching hospitals because the govt own have been killed by corruption. Tampolo is being given billion naira pipeline surveillance contracts while the Navy and maritine police are seating as lame ducks


This is how the NRC will be mismanage and private owners will come up to liquidate it. Perhaps the imbeciles running the agency have forgotten that railway is a FG regulated agency.

No be the same thing Una PDP Obj and Atiku deliberately refused to fund public education and when ASUU went on strike they built private universities that their children and children of their friends can attend, to hell with private universities
No matter how you want to look at it, the only reason APC is behaving like this is because PDP did it first with impunity and told us to our faces nothing will happen and APC are only copying their style

Way to go
Next step will be to allow private companies build and operate their own rail tracks while NRC regulates them

JuanDeDios:
US became the world power by mining minerals illegally around the word? And dumping cheap goods on countries?

You don't know?
Now you know
Just ask it's neighbours in the Americas
If I tell you it has planned lots of coups too you will ask rethorical question like this and I will ask you to go ask its neighbours in the Americas, some of them have had coups planned against them more than once , that is the USA for you

Meanwhile the number of governments China have planned coup against remains ZERO

1. Dr Moses Paul: He failed to mobilize fir himself in AMAC elections. He saw Nyesom Wike as his competition and campaigned against Wike. He lost badly.

2. Aisha Yesufu: Her political career evaporated before it started. She wanted to run for senate and was told the ticket had been promised to someone else. She was advised by Obi and Dickson to run as a representative for Bwari, which she rejected. She was caught yelling at NDC party leader insisting she needs a ground to compete. Her management of finances in LP came with baggage. She may not play a prominent role in Obi's campaign as she is effectively humbled.

3. Precious Oruche: A liability to Peter Obi, and likely seen as a huge risk for the party if given responsibility.

4. Peter Akah: Percieved for his skits and entertainment value instead of real political value.

5. Isaac Fayose: The NDC machinery doesn't trust him at all. He sometimes praises Tinubu and hobnobs with APC.

Another exclusion is Morris Monye. Many of Obi's people were edged out.

Na that yeye dancing and jumping upandan video make them no consider Mama Pee and Peter Akah
That video confirmed that Obi and all his supporters are nothing but content creators

Illegal mineral lead to boycott of tax system, leading to cheaper production cost and cheaper good..

This is the primary reason china goods are cheap cuz they steal raw material ND me er go through due process...

They hack and steal western technologies, steal.mimeral and also provide heavy subsidies to their firms just to gain market advantage..they also manipulate their currency to gain export advantage..


China is not good news for any sane country

You just described the USA and how it became the world power

And China is simply following it's footprints

How many states did Obasanjo win in SW in 1999?

Babablu bulabu.

None
And even in 2003 he only managed to win Ogn state through massive rigging
Yorubas never pretended to vote Obj, na Igbos and Northerners vote am
And he rewarded y'all with appointments and projects , even sold most of the federal government companies to you people
But
Yorubas were not crying upandan, we went to work and paid off in 2015 .
Whenever it suits y'all you cry that Tinubu is taking all projects to the south west, the Yorubas are seeing the roads, railways and bridges and you think they will now vote for one Obi or Atiku?

But hasn't forgiven his son for fourty years

That should tell you all you need to know about that fake smile.
I believe he initially was faking it but has faked it so much that he now appears to be smiling all the time
No capitalist does that, not even the ones in the clowning business

Married men in the house...

Do you guys go home straight after closing from work or you simply hang around bars,pub or taverns to clear your heads before sneaking home when your family have gone to bed

I know some men go home straight after work rushing to meet and spend time with their families.

To the ones that evade going home after closing from work/businesses,I love to hear why you guys behave like that.

Reminds me when I used to live in Abuja
Cos of Maraba Nyanya traffic, we usually don't go home straight and Abuja has numerous gardens you can hang out till 10pm , by that time , it will take just 30 minutes to get home

Southeast gave most of their votes to Obasanjo, a Yoruba man in 1999 and 2003. Since 1999 till date,

Useless and inconsequential votes as events has shown that anyone can become President without Igbo votes

Very GREEDY woman.

The fish has been selling for around #5-5

She CANNOT claim IGNORANCE.

And IF she CANNOT two, NOTTHING stops her from buying just 1.

Secondly, shawa is LESS THAN #2K.

All these drama of PRETENDING like she's the one that's SUFFERING the most is RIDICULOUS.

We are in politics season
Didn't Amechi claim he can't afford to buy medicine for his mom thats why she die, this is someone in power for 24 years o

What Happens to Cars Abandoned at Airport Parking?

This is a trending video of dusty, long-parked cars in an airport garage with drawings on their surfaces, raising questions about vehicles abandoned by travellers who never return.

Some people park their cars at the airport, travel and never come back💔…I wonder what’ll happen to those cars 🤔 pic.twitter.com/x8VMJbBOWU

If the owners are not in jail or dead
The cars were deliberately abandoned for insurance to come recover cos the owners can't make payment again
Heard its very common in Dubai

owobokiri:
Within the last 3 years, Segun has defended the 3 major presidential aspirants..., viciously too.

He defended Atiku as a member of his inner circle. He eulogised Obi to no end about 2 years ago. Now he is is the biggest megaphone for Amoda Chicago Chagoury Yekini.

That must be a world record
Segun needs to have atleast 3 mouths on his face.
That way the job of speaking towards different directions will be far more easier.

The highest bidder got his services

Yes o.

Wike blast rock to carve out road. That's another way Tinubu is "destroying" Nigeria even though Tinubu will likely not use that road personally o.

Brothers, What Will You Advise a Brother?

I'm currently confused about my relationship journey.

I haven't really been the type to consider a serious relationship for a while now. It's just been a couple of sex partners here and there. We do it safely and keep things on a superficial level.

Now, recently, there have been demands and questions here and there about starting a family, especially considering that my immediate junior brother is done having children. His lastborn will be three next month, while the lastborn of my family is also done having kids. Her firstborn is already 10 years old.

I seem to be the only odd one out in this regard, even though I'm arguably more financially settled than all of them. Not to brag, please; I'm just trying to paint a clearer picture of the situation.

I clocked 35 in May, and it was as if everyone in the universe agreed to centre their birthday wishes around God providing me with a wife and family. Ever since then, the reminders from my folks have been pretty loud, persistent, and disturbing.

For the first time in years, I decided to seek a proper relationship, unlike my usual superficial flings and sexcapades.

Come to think of it, I can barely go three days without proper sex. This detail should be useful later.

I met this very beautiful babe from my state. She's 27, a first-class graduate (I am too, actually), and I'm naturally attracted to every facet of intelligence, especially communicative and academic intelligence. She has both, and I'm superbly into her.

She can hold a very reasonable conversation without leaving you mentally exhausted. She's become an integral part of my life, and at this point, I think it's safe to say I'm deeply attracted to her and genuinely like her.

Worthy of note is the fact that I've enjoyed a very unusual level of peace with her over the past three months, which is absolutely unlike me.

I get correct anger ish, although I've learnt to manage it well. I'm not a violent person, but I pick offences easily, and most times, I walk away when provocations get too loud. More often than not, my walking away is goodbye. I'm so good at it.

But since meeting this babe, we've not had any ugly disagreements over these past few months. She's very calm, calculated, and receptive. These qualities have made me like her even more.

She has a reasonably good-paying job, but that's not even an issue. I earn well enough to cater for everything, but she's also financially independent. Gifting seems to be her thing, too, as she's spent quite a sum on gifts for me without expecting anything in return. I haven't even matched up to a quarter of what she's spent on gifting though.

For the first time in my life, I agreed to a no-sex-before-marriage relationship because she's a virgin.

I still dey run my games on a low, so this didn't really look like an ish.

Here lies the rub.

Just last week, she said she had a confession to make, and she opened up about being SS. Mind you, I'm AA, so, by the usual norms, this shouldn't be an issue.

But during one of our previous conversations, she had claimed to be AS and asked if I would be comfortable settling down with someone who was SS. I almost freaked out.

I'm sorry, but I've always wanted to have AA kids. With apologies to those affected, I've always believed that if I ever have children, I owe them the best possible chances at life, including heightened intelligence, beauty, and a sound genotype. I believe I have a reasonable degree of control over who complements my genes to bring these qualities to fruition.

I'm honestly very good-looking and intelligent, so why not get someone who possesses these qualities, too?

Call it insipid or vapid, but I could swear that life has already dealt some people heavy blows by limiting their options in their quest for a future partner. Unlike those of us with AA genotypes, who can consider partners across all the common genotypes without the same risk of having children with sickle cell disease, they don't always have that freedom. I wanted my kids to have that freedom and an avalanche of options, too.

So, when she asked me that question, I sincerely freaked out and couldn't hide my disdain.

This, in turn, stopped her from opening up until last week, when she could no longer hide it.

Funnily enough, I already like her to the point where I don't mind if she's SS, BB, or iPhone.

But the fact that she lied is what actually turned out to be my ish. She's been a very straightforward person so far, and this particular issue has upset our fashioned norms.

I proposed that the no-sex-before-marriage agreement should be off if we were going to be together, and she agreed. But now, I'm beginning to think it might look as though I'm trying to take advantage of her at this point.

Brothers, what will you advise a brother?
Am I being unreasonable?
Considering the emotional supports people with SS need, how challenging can it be? What is the possibility that she lives long enough?

All insults, curses, and whatever are welcome.
T for grateful.

Whatever you do DO NOT MARRY HER
Love her and support her however you can but don't marry her
You will just torture yourself if you go ahead cos you will be seeing her going through pain and there's nothing you can do about it
