It's an open market

No one is frustrating anyone .

Air peace should have made proper consultation with other airlines before splashing the average airline ticket to UK.

Win win for the travellers as the airlines would drag themselves to the extent of free falling the price .

Modified: As usual, tribal coloration must be added to my comments. Air peace is our own, we all want it's success but they can't be doing things in a wrong way without calling them out.

First Air peace trip from Nigeria to UK, they had issue in both Nigeria and UK, can everybody be wrong? Perhaps, Air peace should have a proper consultant teams that would help them to put things in order before taking any steps..

We are yet to pack the oracle from the ground, it has already started predicting. Below is the price between Ethiopian airlines and Air peace, N400k difference

over 13000 polling units o. Because they won few polling units landslide within their stronghold, to them they have won😏 Critical reasoning is lacking with this people sha. Badagry for example has 2 local government, it used to be a Pdp stronghold, but apc made in road in the past year. They are not different from the riotous mob that went on a killing spree in 2011 because they felt Buhari won the election since he won on a landslide in North west.

casualobserver:
PDP won by 1400 votes. I keep telling you people “winning” a state doesn’t matter, you don’t get any prize in a presidential election for “winning” a state. What matters is the gap between you and your opponent. As far as Osun state. It is of no consequence as the gap is only 1400…. You can overturn that easily in one ward in a strong state. The real battle is between Atiku and Tinubu, obi is out of the race because he won’t get 25% in 24 states.

Hmmm. This article below is a reminder again. Do not outsource your role as a father.


EKWEREMADU: Between Fatherhood and Ambition


I recall having this conversation with my wife during the week when the case of Sen. Ike Ekweremadu came up and I was completely in an incandescent shock that this man actually has a sick daughter yet has been all over the place attending political meetings for his political ambition instead of taking time out from the highly demanding world of politics to sort out his daughter's pressing health needs.


He was all over the place during the PDP  primaries, he lost the PDP gubernatorial primaries for Enugu state then started planning to decamp to APGA, then APC , reportedly taken to APC national Chairman by HE Uzodinma, Imo state Governor, when APC stalwarts in Enugu APC, led by their state APC Chairman, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah, outrightly rejected him. 

He eventually lost and , unlike previous election cycles, Senator Ekweremadu is not returning to the Nigerian Senate.He lost on all the political fronts.


Sen. Ike Ekweremadu was all over the place so much that it appeared like he did not follow through on the health and lifestyle choices of his children.


He did not follow through on what I believe is more important than his political ambition; the life of his daughter and a family at the low ebb of the apprehension of losing a child  to kidney failure.


Ike Ekeremadu was so consumed by his political ambition that he had no time and seriousness to do due diligence and background check on the character they got him as a donor for his daughter , I doubt if with his PhD, he even had the time to follow through and read up to ask the right questions from the professionals,  understand the risks and benefits of why it could be better for one member of his family of six to donate to the daughter instead of a stranger and seek help to find out if there are some of the tests which can be done on the stranger here in Nigeria before bundling a total stranger overseas. 


He was so consumed by politics that when the 22-year old donor went rogue and was allegedly scheming behind him to deny his age and report Ike and family to UK police, it probably escaped his detection and intervention soon enough so he can be the first to report to UK police and then return the donor to Nigeria for him to immediately restart the process of getting alternative donor(s) for his ailing daughter whose life was more important to him.


He forgot that he was first a father and husband before becoming a Senator,Deputy Senate President and SSG. 

He forgot that he will finish as a father and husband.


I compared Senator Ekweremadu to Joe Biden and I believe that he could have followed the Biden example. Then in 2015 , US Vice President Biden had a dying son and had the opportunity to contest in his party's primaries to emerge against Trump for the US Presidency but Biden stepped down from that race in order to support his dying son.


At a point, Biden was to sell his family house before Barack Obama intervened and offered to pay for the treatment. Biden's boy made his Dad promise him that no matter what happens, Biden must not give up his life long ambition to be US President, Biden's boy, Beau Biden later died. Biden grieved without the guilt of abandoning his son for his political ambition.


 In 2021, years after his son had passed on , Biden contested and won. There are many Nigerian politicians (and professionals) who will do like Biden but not like Ike.   


Family is so important that we even need the approval of a sick dying one before we place anything above their life


That is the lesson Ike missed and was almost about to lose from both ends as his wife who takes care of the daughter remains in prison until July 7 and now August 4.      


Last two Sundays ago was Father's Day , I really truly hope that fathers used that day to reflect and understand the real responsibility of fatherhood. It is the hardest job for a man but it gives the greatest reward if you do your best at it.


As a father , I have realized that it is not possible to outsource that role of a father and not pay heavy fines.  


May God heal that Ike Ekweremadu's daughter and may God help the Ike Ekweremadu family in this their difficult time. I know it is a difficult place for them. 

May God help all fathers to realise that "your child is your responsibility". 


That you pay all the bills and have a devoted and responsible wife/mother of your child won't still make up for your negligence. 


Your child is your responsibility and not even your ambition can replace what you will miss if you neglect your role in the life of your child. 


This a lesson to all fathers: Do not behave like Senator Ike Ekweremadu who was literally chasing rats around the house when his house was on fire.


May God help us all to succeed and may our children not develop kidney failure. May our labour of love and sacrifice be rewarded in our life time and when we are long gone, Amen.

i thought we will never have to do these again until another 4yrs, obviously the pdp sympathisers yet to learn a thing,
first of all! the court never mention or declare pdp as winner, the judgement only compelled inec to declare 2nd runner up as winner provided the party meet the requisite.
the fact that some vote are rejected or voided does not affect total vote ,check inec spreadsheet of all elections total vote will alway be the sum of valid votes + rejected vote racoon said you are intelligient i laugh ... that's an expensive joke on NL.
inec will judge pdp on basis of total vote, can someone tell me whatelse i don't know

Goke7:
is not the same ethnic card the igbos have been using to vote pdp since 1999? now we are using the same card and you guys are complaining. We don wise up now o, the Nationalistic card that we have been using which you guys have used to insult us have now been torn into pieces. Play your card in the east and we play ours here in the west, is that too much to ask for?

When will the likes of Sarrki NgeneUkwenu Omenka ISTANDWITHBUHAR psalmsjob madridguy APCmyheart PassingShot Qmerit learn. I can't vote for any politician, they are all criminals neither will I enter contract with them again. I was called to supply about 5000 pieces of close coupled WCs etc to my state government, the reason I lost this contract was that (1) I told them that 5000 pcs is too much for what they want to do. (2)I refused to influence the price.

At the end I discovered that what they actually needed was 100 WCs, the remaining 4900 pcs goes to their personal hotels and schools. This happened in APC state.
