Nah..my first grand prix was the final in Brazil 2008 when LH and Masa had that incredible race and he won, was listening to BBC 5live that day and the commentator brought the experience live, never heard of F1 until that day.

Since then i never missed watching a single race till today

that race was a heart in mouth moment!!!

the whole family was celebrating and the the camera went to lewis passing Timo Glock on the last corner!!!

Since 2008 F1 has been my second best sports, i'm not sure i can do without watching football but i have stopped paying to watch Arsenal years ago...infact i'm backing the twitter campaign to get Wenger sacked.

Will definitely go to watch race next year....at least British grand prix

been attracted to it before scheu left Ferrari...days when poor massa used to get team orders
also had a nutter from Finland in year 10 and Yr 11 who worshiped Mika Hakinnen

Then got interested again when Rookie Hamilton burst unto the scene!!

I only manage to watch Arsenal on MOTD at night that's if they win o! watching Super Eagles and Arsenal = heartache!!
_{though they play some fascinating stuff sometimes!!}

In fact I'm giving football a rest this season...same counter attack and bam you've scored against!!

moving to F1, it's more erm Classy Technical!

would like to go to a race next season!!

Man U having a better prospect...puhleaaase!!

Anyone watch Lewis Hamilton bring the championship home??

I see a triple world champion!!

you wan give these students heart attack!!?? ^^

pull your curtains whilst watching tv/laptop etc

you will be dragged before Prince George of Cambridge who will throw his toys at you for refusing to pay!

the problem I heard was mainly Arik Airline requesting return tickets and many 'nervous' people didnt stand their ground

Mohthayho:
Please house I just want to ask if anyone has an idea of how virgin airline or Arik treat pregnant passengers travelling to the UK.

Does the passenger have to take doctors report to the airport is it necessary or she can just bone and risk it expecially if the person's stomach doesn't shoot out too much. I have a friend who is planing 2 travel nextweek she is so scared that they dont stop her from boarding.

What do u guyz think has anyone experienced it b4 pls kindly share your view with me please so that I can advise her.

Thanks.

check their websites...

getting a fit-to-travel document from a doctor is not that difficult except she has serious medical issues

Yes: Only if it has personnel to do the 'finishing'

Never been to a drive thru, Hand Car wash only!!

what a beauty!!!

Bros, I dey dis land oh! Travelled around a bit but am back in Naija for good! how have you been?

Bloggers! Before You Try To Be Like Linda Ikeji-- Read This First

Hello Nairalanders

I cannot sit on the sidelines anymore and allow so many dreams fall by the wayside due to a misunderstanding of how successful blogs are built.

THE EXPERT MODEL!

The Expert Model, sometimes called “Authority Blogging” simply means you use your blog as a platform to demonstrate your expertise or passion for a subject.

Some great examples of the Expert model blogging are

Tim of Timothysykes.com makes $150,000 Monthly sharing his knowledge of stock trading with the world

Josh of Expertphotography.com earns over $15,000 Monthly teaching people how to take cool photographs. He created the blog in April 2013

People like Gary Varneychuks, Chris Garret, Mari smith, Kim Garst, Chris Brogan all have built multimillion dollars empires around their knowledge of how to market on social media.

Alborz Fallah founder of caradvice.com earns over $70,000 Monthly from the blog where he shares his knowledge about cars.

Pinchofyum.com is a blog run by a couple, they blog about recipes and food and earn 5 figures monthly. They made over $32,000 in September alone. They post monthly income report on their blog

I can go on and on. There are thousands of bloggers like them who make a killing sharing their unique perspective on their subject of interest with the world.

We have quite a handful of them from nigeria too, but because most nigerian bloggers have swayed completely to the blog magazine model, we are yet to maximize the potentials of this model.

It’s much easier to find 100 paying customers in a year using a very focused expert blog, than it is to attract ten thousand visitors a day to your blog to make enough money from advertising.

No Nigerian example of the expert model...?? invariably meaning most bloggers are out for a quick buck from uncle google...

Hey Guys,

I'm running a research project and would aooreciate if anyone could hint me of equivalent's of nairaland.com or lindaikeji's blog in uk in terms of popularity and member signups,but uk sites....

Would appreciate turning me to the right direction

THEY Have robust newspapers industry with varied target audience so most newspapers websites...

other forum are very specific sports-football- man utd etc will have stand alone fora rather than one go to site

sunvick:
No she has not moved in yet. Intended moving in on sat. Snce she doesn't want to giv deposit, den I will look for anoder persn. I could hav fallen prey if not the insight I got frm a white guy.

good! thought you offered her your room already, always stressful getting a house especially having to play landlord to other students

place advert everywhere you can and word of mouth

justwise:
She seems to know how to play the system and will be a nightmare to get rid off.

Exactly, very soon she will be telling him how to bypass the electricity

Seems she's moved in already, done be in a hurry to rent out - you dont want flatmates from hell..when sh..hits the fan eh your brain will be on over drive...seems she's a regular mover

Assure her the deposit will be kept in a special account...

Nosyke:
I bet this is Arik, those guys can delays one's destiny.......... when you miss your flight you pay through your nose but when they delay/reschedule your flight, they are cool with it. I wonder why the authorities have not come down hard on them.

ARIK/AERO....

because they ARE the authorities!!! its the usual 'we are doing you a favour' absolutely little or no competition

will be very interesting to see a data showing flight departure times for all the airlines in Nigeria

Missed a flight earlier this year, partly my fault partly the airline or the website

So used to booking everything online, even the cab company called to offer my 5am pick up as there might be traffic mbaa, I no gree I chose 6.45 instead, hoping to complete check in on the way to the airport and spend 15mins max.

Na so wahala start o, phone was playing up, couldn't complete check in. got to the airport few minutes past 8..instead of going straight to the counter to do the usual queuing up, I was fiddling with my phone, still no luck, started looking for their self check in machines, the problem was their website!! eventual queued up and was told they can only check me in without my luggage or book next day!

Went to the customer service complained I have been trying to check in since midnight, even arrived at the airport at 8am! she explained they were having problems with their website blah blah promised to check me in only to find out i have huge bags duuh im going to naija! Only solution was to get the flight next day or spend a day in Amsterdam and get the flight next day....didn't want to make the long journey back home since i was already in holiday mood...told her to put it on hold until i can book a reasonable hotel near Schipol airport. Na so I enter next flight o

Guess what!! When i got to Amsterdam the connecting flight was still there, checking in was in 10minutes!! started running to the gate hoping to convince the staff since I had my booked seat and other details on my phone, then theres the problem of my luggage it's just coming out of the other plane and check in will be over before i can get them them transferred. they were very helpful actually offered to send my luggage to Lagos if I check in without them!! it dawned on me I wont get the same customer service in las gidi, visit one office here, one office there, Oga is not on seat etc etc ....

stuck to the plan got the shuttle to the hotel rest my head,went to town briefly, smooth flight next day!

Had horribly experience with Lufthansa 2 years ago, bad customer service, just left slept at the Airport as I only took naija passport

Dear justwise, please see my answers below:

1. Online print out.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thks.

Hello, I applied for UK Family visit visa ( 3 of us) and I received 2 emails yesterday saying,
=========<<

Your visa has now been processed and is ready for collection.
We aim to return passports to the Visa Application Centre where you lodged your application within 2 working days.

=========<<


Pls, does dz mean they've proccesed the 3 passport or they still working on one of the passport because 3 passport was submitted in the same folder and when dy first mailed, 3 email was sent to notify that our application is received and now that da decision has been made, they one send two email to notify me. + teleperfomarnce is yet to update dre website.

Am worried and dz got me thinking in different ways.

its process together usually, wait for your documents to confirm details

MallamYahaya:
She said her family is coming to join her. It's a flat share. I looked at the options you sent to me. The issue is that it is a lot more difficult to get a moderate place as a couple with a child.

since theres no agreement, she just has to chill for you to find an alternative, you might want to consider areas in the greater london areas (with good transport links) you are very likely to pay more than the advertised rate as a family...avoid pakistani landlord if you can

Mogidi:
What happened to his[ muslim/muslim dream team?

can you direct us to where, he or anyone has categorically stated the preferred religion of his VP candidate?

seems people talk beer parlour discussions and newspaper speculation as gospel truth!

Goodig33:
I got Uk business visa for six months yesterday but I applied for two years visa and I applied for two weeks stay in the application form,
MY PROBLEMS NOW ARE:
1. Why did they give me six months but I applied for two years?
2. As the two weeks stay I applied in the form will not be enough, what do I do should I stay more than that two weeks?

1; it's their perogative unfortunately

2; try not to spend more than 90 days, perhaps you should make a (stronger) case for long term visa when applying the next time

He sought opinion… I gave him mine….
He already has cognate work experience from Nigeria… and its safe to assume he wants to return to Nigeria to work.
If you're suggesting he stays back in the UK to do "charity" work; … Factor in the cost of living and the fact that he could actually land a paid job in Nigeria when he gets back…..
well… what can i say…it's his decision to make...
Was he aware it was unpaid work before he applied? If the answer to this question is yes; then id say he's made his decision already…

What i'm saying in essence is; there are other factors to consider before he takes an informed decision; not just the fancy job title...

The way i read his post, he's finished with his programme, probably has some few months left on his visa...so not necessarily staying back..just filling in with some real work experience...
