biggiyke:
Finally, 8 days after I embarked on this journey, it came to an end in a mechanic workshop.
I learnt a lot of lessons. The most important being that sometimes God lets things go out of control so that we recognize the fact that we were never actually in control in the first place.
A lot could have happened, but at the end of the day, I am lucky and blessed.
Now, the essence of this story was not to discredit HiliaryAutos, none of these was his fault per se. This story is just what it is, a story.
If you now ask, will I recommend HiliaryAutos to nairalanders, I will say YES.
YES, because he delivered my car to me, maybe not in the state I expected, but a car is machine and can breakdown at any time. Even brand new cars are recalled due to factory errors.
YES, because he left his business for one week just to ensure that my car was safe and secure.
Could he have done better, maybe yes, but we are all human.
I have recommended colleagues already and I am sure we will still do business together in the nearest future.

Concluded.

Congrats....Most important thing is he bought the ride, he delivered it and you're happy at last. We thank God the alternator issue didn't lead to something else, because other car dealers will mot even bother or care. It shows hiliaryautos cares for the satisfaction of his customers. I always go through his post cos of the clean rides he posts, wil contact him too soon when am ready. Enjoy your Baby sir.

God is ur strength.

Reading your story biggiyke i can feel my heart coming to my mouth. If 2 say na me, i 4 don dey hospital since...

I don't seem to understand this one, what is happening or can I say what really happened ?

11. Garissa University Attack, Kenya.



On 2 April 2015, gunmen stormed the Garissa University College in Garissa, Kenya, killing 148 people, and injuring 79 or more. The militant group and Al-Qaeda offshoot, Al-Shabaab, which the gunmen claimed to be from, took responsibility for the attack. The gunmen took over 700 students hostage, freeing Muslims and killing those who identified as Christians. The siege ended the same day, when all four of the attackers were killed. Five men were later arrested in connection with the attack, and a bounty was placed for the arrest of a suspected organizer. The attack was the deadliest in Kenya since the 1998 United States embassy bombings, and is the second deadliest overall, with more casualties than the 2002 Mombasa attacks, the 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack, the 2014 Nairobi bus bombings, the 2014 Gikomba bombings, the 2014 Mpeketoni attacks and the 2014 Lamu attacks.


" Nasir Abdurahman, who is a second year student at the university, said he came face-to-face with the killers just minutes into the attack. Mr Abdurahman told the Wall Street Journal: 'One gunman ordered us to lay down on the ground, and we did that. 'He asked us are you Muslims and I responded: "Yes. Please don't kill us, we are Muslims". 'He asked if we could recite the Shahada and I recited it loudly. My friends also recited the prayer loudly. He said: "You can go now".' Those who were unable to quote sections from the Koran were shot on the spot."

Living in this world is already a tragedy on its own....

Hmmmm...

There Are Parts of Aircraft That Are Buoyant And Naturally Float On Water.

In past cases when a plane crashes into the sea, many parts of theplane are found floating on the surface because they are buoyant. No such debris has been found yet, which has baffled search and rescue teams even more. Even if there was an explosion on board while the plane was in mid air, the debris would have fallen over a much greater area and more easily spotted.

All Boeing 777 Commercial Jets Are Equipped With Explosion-Proof Black Box Recorders And Can Transmit Location Data For 30 Days.

These black boxes are designed to withstand any explosion from the plane itself. The bomb-proof structures hold digital recordings of the conversations in the cockpit and also detailed flight data and control surface data. The reason why investigators are having such a hard time finding the aircraft is because they cannot pick up any signal from its black box recorder. Usually, homing in on the signal leads to the plane itself, but the absence of any signal means that the black box, a device meant to withstand explosions, has vanished, malfunctioned or been destroyed by some unfathomable power.

Search Teams Were Looking In The Wrong Place For Five Days: As shown in the map below, the plane was last tracked at the Strait of Malacca between the Indonesian and Malaysian coasts. The plane turned around near Vietnam when it’s transponder stopped working and headed hundreds of miles away from its original flight path. Search teams had been searching the place where the plane’s transponder stopped working instead of near the Strait of Malacca.

Facts about missing MH370: Some Passengers Did Not Board The Plane.


The Malaysian government is currently investigating the fact that five passengers who were booked for the flight did not get on the plane. They checked in but did not board the plane and their luggage was removed beforehand.

9. Baga Massacre.


The 2015 Baga massacre was a series of mass killings carried out by the jihadist group Boko Haram in the Nigerian town of Baga and its environs, in the state of Borno, between 3rd January and 7th January 2015. The attack began on 3rd January when Boko Haram over ran a military base that was the headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force containing troops from Chad, Niger, and Nigeria. The militants then forced thousands of locals from the region and committed mass killings that culminated on the 7th. Fatalities have been reported to be "heavy" but their extent is unclear. Several western media reported that "over 2,000" people are thought to have been killed or "unaccounted for", but local media reported "at least a hundred" fatalities, while the Nigerian Ministry of Defence said that no more than 150 people in total had been killed, including militants. Several government officials denied that the fatalities were as extensive as reported, with some even claiming that the massacre had never taken place or that the Nigerian military had repelled the militants from the region,a claim that was refuted by local officials, survivors, and the international media. Baga and at least 16 other towns are thought to have been destroyed as over 35,000 people are reported to have been displaced, with many feared to have drowned while trying to cross Lake Chad and others trapped on islands in the lake. The attacks are said to have resulted in Boko Haram extending its control to over 70% of Borno State, while its leader, Abubakar Shekau, claimed responsibility for the massacre in a video statement, saying that they "were not much" and that the group's insurgency "would not stop".

* Two soldiers wanders beneath the Eiffel Tower. Thousands of French troops were deployed around Paris while tourist sites such as the Tower and Disneyland were closed.

Flowers are placed in bullets holes which riddle the window of the Carillon Bar where diners were attacked on Friday night.

Hundreds of spectators at the football game on Friday night invade the pitch after they realise suicide bombs have gone off outside the stadium.

Stade de France Stadium: French President Francois Hollande learns from his bodyguard of the terrorist attack in Paris on Friday night during the friendly football match between France and Germany.

8. Attack On Paris, November,13 2015.


Attack Timeline:

* Stade De France: The attacks began at 8.17pm GMT at the Stade de France where the French football team was hosting Germany in an international friendly. The game was being watched by 80,000 spectators, among them was President Francois Hollande who had to be evacuated from the stadium.
The first explosion, a suicide bombing, was at an entrance to the stadium. A suicide bomber approached the gate with a match ticket when he was frisked by a security guard who turned him away. He backed away from the gate and detonated his vest at about 8.20pm GMT near Gate D of the stadium, killing one other person. A passport with the name Ahmed Almuhamed, 25, from Syria, was allegedly found nearby. The second suicide bomber, Bilal Hadfi, 20, blew himself up near Gate H several minutes later. No one else was reported killed. Hadfi is said to have fought with ISIS in Syria.


* Third Attack: Le Petit Cambodge And Le Carillon Bar.

At 8.25pm GMT a separate team of gunmen arrived in a Black Seat and attacked diners at popular Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon bar in the trendy Canal Saint-Martin area of eastern Paris, killing 15.


* Fourth Attack: La Casa Nostra pizzeria And La Belle Eqipe Bar.

The same unit then drove about 500 yards to La Casa Nostra pizzeria and opened fire on diners on the terrace of the restaurant, killing at least five people. From there, the militants drove around a mile south-east apparently past the area of the Bataclan concert venue to launch another attack, this time on La Belle Equipe bar in Rue de Charonne. At least 19 people died after the terrace was sprayed with bullets at 8.38pm GMT. The attackers then drove off.


* Fifth Attack: CAFÉ ‘COMPTOIR VOLTAIRE’.

Five minutes later, Ibrahim Abdeslam, 31, set off a suicide vest outside the outside cafe 'Comptoir Voltaire' on the Boulevard Voltaire and close to the Bataclan theatre. He hired a black Seat car used in the attack.


* Sixth Attack: Bataclan Music Hall.


At 8.49pm GMT, the third group (believed to be three men and a woman) armed with AK-47s stormed the Bataclan music hall and began shooting members of the crowd. Survivors claim three blew themselves up and a fourth person was shot dead by police before they could detonate their bomb.


* Seventh Attack: Near Stade De France.


At around 8.50pm GMT a third blast took place near the Stade de France, this time by a McDonald’s restaurant on the fringes of the stadium. The boom caused terror among spectators who had already been attempting to flee the stadium following the first two explosions. The attacker who detonated his suicide vest was identified as a 20-year-old French man living in Belgium.






* Bataclan Concert Massacre, Paris.


A harrowing image has emerged from inside the Bataclan theatre where terrorists opened fire on concert goers on Friday night 13th November, 2015 killing at least 89 people and injuring dozens, possibly hundreds, more. The photograph, taken in the wake of the attack, details the blood stained interior of the concert hall where bodies remain lying on the ground and the floor is covered in debris. It comes as new footage shows the moment the members of U.S. rock band Eagles of Death Metal stopped their performance midway through a song when gunfire broke out. The violence at the Bataclan unfolded as part of a series of co-ordinated ISIS attacks across the heart of Paris on Friday evening in the worst violence to strike France since the Second World War. At least 129 people are dead, and another 349 injured, after the three teams of jihadis attacked the Stade de France football stadium, a handful of bars and cafes, and then finally the Bataclan concert hall.

7. Refugee Crisis.


The Refugee Crisis, also known as the European Migrant Crisis, started in April 2015 when five boats sank in the Mediterranean sea which killed around 1,200 refugees coming mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea. The refugees are fleeing their countries due to violent conflicts in North Africa and Middle East, seeking asylum into European countries. The number of forcibly displaced people worldwide reached 59.5 million at the end of 2014, the highest level since World War II. The most recent event that went viral in the media was the death of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian boy who drowned in the Mediterranean sea. Because Kurdi’s family was trying to reach Canada, his death immediately became an issue in the 2015 Canadian federal election, forcing the government to promise the welcoming of more refugees.

6. Tijiang Blast.



On 12 August, a series of explosions rocked the industrial port town of Tianjin in China. At least 173 people were killed and 797 were injured in the massive explosions inside the warehouse owned by acompany called Ruihai International Logistics. The impact of the blast was felt within a 10 km radius of the port city, and left a massive crater at the explosion site.

5. Nepal Earthquake



A massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 hit Nepal on 25 April. The quake killed over 9,000 people and an estimated 23,000 were injured in the natural calamity. The violence of the shock triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, which killed at least 19 people. About 250 others disappeared. Many UNESCO World Heritage Sites were destroyed, such as the Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Patan Durbar Square, the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Changu Narayan Temple and the Swayambhunath. Villages were flattened and hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless. On May 12, another earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 occurred closer to the Chinese border, injuring another 2,500 people, and killing more than 200.

4. Hajj Stampede.



On 24 September 2015, a crowd collapse caused the deaths of at least 2,236 pilgrims who were suffocated or crushed during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mina, Mecca, making it the deadliest Hajj disaster in history. Estimates of the number of dead vary; the Associated Press reported 2,411dead, while Agence France-Press reported 2,236 killed. Based on the total of the individual national reports cited in the table below, at least 2,427people died. The official death toll from the government of Saudi Arabia remains unchanged since two days after the event, with 769 reported killed and 934 others injured.

3. Mecca Grand Mosque Crane Crash.

The tragedy occurred when a crane crashed through the ceiling of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, the largest mosque in the world, amid high winds and thunderstorms on Friday afternoon, 11th September, 2015. Killing about 107 people and wounded over 238.

2. TransAsia Airways Flight 235.


On February 4, 2015. Just 37 seconds after taking off and reaching an altitude of 1,200 feet, the TransAsia Airways Flight 235 crashed on a highway in Taiwan. The right engine had failed before the pilot turned off the left engine, manually. He was planning on restarting the engine, but couldn’t. When one engine fails on a plane, it automatically goes into gliding mode, which usually allows the pilot enough time to get it back to the airport. However, this time, because the left engine was shut off as well, the plane couldn’t glide and crashed on the highway, and continued its way into a nearby river. Of the 58 people on board, only 15 survived.

1. Migrant Deaths At Sea.


Since April 2015, there have been over 566 migrants confirmed to have died, while 1701 missing are still missing in the Mediterranean Sea after their boats capsized in the sea as they fled from crisis ridden countries or regions. The phenomenon has been referred to as the European migrant crisis while the crisis has been ongoing, the collective consciousness of the international community was shaken after the image of a dead migrant child went viral. The situation of the 'boat people' gained media attentiononly by September after an image of Alan Kurdi, (Aylan Kurdi), a three-year-old Syrian boy of Kurdish ethnic background, made global headlines after he drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, as part of the Syrian refugee crisis. Many migrants are forced to board dilapidated boats with their children, knowing that they may not reach their destination. Many of the migrants attempting to gain access to Europe are fleeing violence, natural disasters and poverty in their homelands.

* Diver picked up the body of a drowned girl.

* Grim toll: A 100-metre long list containing the names of 17,306 migrants who have died attempting to reach Europe since 1993 was unfurled at the entrance of the European Parliament in April.

The media has become a particularly strong communication method to inform the world about what’s going on everywhere, wherever you may be. As 2015 draws to a close, we are reminded that we live in a world that needs hope more than anything else. Thousands this year have lost their lives to tragedies and events that could have been averted. While many are eagerly waiting for 2016, thousands across the globe will be trying to cope with the calamities and losses of 2015. Here we look back on some of the events of 2015 that shocked the world.

43. Aspiring commerical pilots generally invest more than $70,000 in their education and clock an average of 4,000 hours of experience before they are hired by Air Canada.


* Once their flight simulator training is complete, pilots move directly to piloting fully-loaded passenger airplanes. They are, however, accompagnied by line indoctrination pilots for their first few flights. After a second test by a supervisor pilot, they’re fully cleared to fly on their own.


* Pilots are sent back into the simulator at least every eight months to renew their license; every six months for those who command the Boeing 777.


* Pilots can fly only one type of aircraft at a time. Before acquiring a license to command a different model, they must go through 8 to 12 weeks of training. The process includes “ground school”, pre-simulator mockup flights and simulator training.



* Pilots may spend long periods of time away from home. To keep their loved ones close, they’ll often keep photos of their family or spouses in the inside lining of their hat.


* Pilots aren’t allowed to share food. As a safety
precaution, pilots order and eat different crew meals while on flight.
