This is the best you can come up with after lives are lost. Have some empathy for the dead. You that has said this, you are no saint or virgin.

i knew they were coming

Nigeria is generally perceived as a country where everyone is money conscious and so, money rules the day. Lagos being the business hub of Nigeria is not let off. Unlike some other states were a majority of the population takes on jobs mainly to fulfill dreams and pursue their passions, the key motivation for workers in Lagos is the wage and the addition that comes from extra ‘hustling’.
Passion, vision and dreams only comes after the money has been made, so, people only render regular services when there is fiscal incentive, and excellent service in the occasion of a bonus or tip. Consequently, tipping has become the only way to get things done commendably.

While some might argue that this notion is one of the many typecasts associated with the state and country, there are not enough facts to dispel the already wide-spread conjecture. Tipping is expected by everyone: policemen on the road, waiters at restaurants, porters at hotels, taxi/cab drivers, baggage handlers etc.

Most agonizing is the tipping tradition at the Lagos airports. Lagos has the busiest airports in the country (Murtala Mohamed Airports -MM 1 and 2), and everyday myriads of travelers are seen flocking in and out. Most of these travelers usually do not wear pleasant smiles on their faces as they have to endure endless tipping to ensure they get a smooth travelling experience.

For those travelling out of Lagos, It usually starts from the parking lot. To get a good parking space, you have to tip the coordinators with a smile and maybe even pleasant small talk. If you don’t, they would most likely park you somewhere so far from the entrance that you have enough time on the trek to regret not tipping them.

Next are the luggage handlers. There are designated carts to help you move your luggage from the car to the departure lounge, however, aside from the fee you have to pay to get one, you would be expected to tip the airport staff attached to the cart to help you load the cart, follow you to the ticket stand and possibly move it to the check-in counter. At the ticket stand, the tipping is inescapable. The airport staff who are meant to direct and assist you, expect you to tip them for any assistance given, and usually even negotiate on the amount before assisting you.

On getting to the check-in counter, depending on how much luggage you have, you would be asked to weigh you luggage. After that, you have to stay a while at the waiting lounge for your flight to be announced.

Even at the waiting lounge, some officials without being asked help you out with the stamping processes and even advise you on what entrance to sit close to, so that you can queue easily when you hear the announcement of your flight. These Officials also expect to get a tip.
For travelers coming in to Lagos, it is almost the same routine, from the arrival lounge to pick up point, there are different airport officials who solicit tipping for different reasons. Sometimes these officials work as a group and share a large tip from the traveler in the end, while some officials attach themselves to one travel and assist the traveler through various points and receive a large tip at the end.

Whatever the case, the traveler ends up tipping, and quite largely too as these airport officials get offended when they are handed paltry sums of money. Most would prefer being tipped in foreign currency such as the US dollar, Euro or British Pounds
Whereas the tipping tradition at the airports might seem like a huge problem, most people who live in Lagos are not bothered by it.

They rather encourage it as they see it as a means to achieve quick results. They argue that the decision to tip is quite optional, but then its advantages make it imperative. In countries such as USA, it is compulsory to tip, and they go as far as factoring the tip into your bill (mostly at restaurant). Unfortunately though, the workers do not remember you the next time you visit, and they treat you like every other person. In Lagos however, you tip what you want and how you want, but when you do tip, not only do you get expedient service, the workers mark you and are willing to offer quick and prompt service next time. Some even go as far as giving out their numbers to ensure you get their help next time.

Again, the tipping tradition is justified with the fact that these officials get paid very sub-standard salaries and need these tips to live above minimum wage. In this regard, tipping should no longer just be a form of courtesy- to show that you appreciate and respect the service of the person serving you, but also be a medium through which the recipients can receive financial assistance.

No matter the reasons given to justify tipping tradition at the Lagos airport, there are still heavy cons to the dilemma.
Things becomes especially difficult for young or low-budget travelers who have actual need of assistance but do not have enough cash to tip accordingly.

Again, expatriates who are not well acquainted with the tipping tradition, find it overwhelmingly absurd and get the bad impression that in Lagos, things only get done once the pocket is involved.
To help you survive the travails of tipping at the Lagos airports. Jumia Travel, Africa’s No. 1 online booking portal has these 7 valuable tips:
• Ensure you have lots of change when travelling via the airport.
• Giving the tip before the task most times speeds up the service.
• Do not engage officials who try to negotiate before assisting.
• Discreetly tip by putting the money in their hand.
• Do not feel obligated to use the services of the airport officials. It is okay to say ‘No’ and go through due processes on your own. You should however prepare your mind for the length of time you might take to complete each process.
• Always collect the number of the official you tipped as it comes in handy next time. They will respond faster when you call before arrival.
• Sometimes, the best tip to leave is something other than money.

Abeg go and read your history properly. Catholic church was first planted in Onitsha by Crowder from where it spread to other parts of Igbo land. Mbaise people are animals and should not be allowed to dictate to the holy catholic church. I am not a catholic but I respect the Pope even as a none catholic. Mbaise people are hopeless and useless set of people.

John-Alabi-of-Ontario-Canada-fined-for-offending-his-muslim-tenants-2017.jpgCanada is now fining its citizens for offending people of the Islamic faith.

John Alabi, 53, is a Christian and a landlord who lives in the Toronto area and is being ordered to pay a fine of $12,000 by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal because he failed to remove his shoes when he entered the apartment he was renting to a Muslim couple.

His crime? Religious discrimination, according to the tribunal.

The tenants were planning to move out of his rental home, and he says he gave the couple the required 24-hours notice that he would be showing the apartment to another tenant.

They told him not to come while they were praying, and to text first. He agreed. But when they stopped answering his text messages, he showed the apartment.

The Muslim tenants waited eight months before filing their grievance with the human rights tribunal, where they receive free representation, the Toronto Sun reported. The couple even searched his Facebook page and found a joke they considered offensive and used to bolster their case. The tribunal agreed he harassed them and failed in his duty to accommodate their religious needs – and awarded them $6,000 each – plus interest.

Alabi says he does not have the money to pay the fine and doesn’t know what he’s going to do.

“What about my rights?” asks the father of three, who has since sold the house. “What about my rights to show my place so I could rent it and put food on the table for my family?”

Faith Goldy, a reporter for Rebel News Service, is crowdfunding support for Alabi and recently aired an interview with him.

“I don’t have the money. I work very hard. If they go into my bank account right now, I don’t have $12,000 there,” says Alabi, who lost thousands of dollars in legal fees and time off work.

“It has just shattered me. I am broken. I am broken.”

While it sounds extreme that a government agency would order a citizen to pay money to a Muslim for offending the Muslim faith, the U.S. is rife with examples of progressives attempting to implement similar restrictions upon non-Muslims, says Pamela Geller, an author and anti-Shariah activist.

“We are already traveling down that path. The foremost indication of this is in the general acceptance of Islamic free-speech restrictions,” Geller told WND.

“When I organized a free-speech event in Garland, Texas, my goal was to defend the principle of free speech in the face of violent intimidation,” Geller said. “Yet even after jihadists attacked our event, I was blamed by the establishment media and many conservatives for provoking Muslims.”

And that was more than three years ago. If Geller tried to hold a draw-Muhammad contest now, it would be impossible to pull it off anywhere in the United States, she said.

“No arena in the country would allow me to do so – not just because of the security risk, but because of the vilification that would come from the establishment media,” Geller said. “Under what law is it wrong to depict Muhammad? Under Islamic law. But I am not a Muslim, and I do not live under the Shariah. Yet Shariah is advancing in the U.S. right under our noses, with the help of the political and media elites.”

Robert Spencer, who works with Geller on various projects and is editor of the Jihad Watch blog, said Canada has been all but “conquered” by Islam, which is seen as a protected class by its enablers on the left. And the U.S. is not far behind in the race to establish Islam as the dominant religion in the its culture, thanks to political correctness that seeks to destroy anyone who speaks a negative word about Islam. No other religion enjoys such favor from the U.S. media establishment.

“Criticizing Islam in any way will already get you stigmatized as a bigot and a hatemonger,” Spencer said.

The city of Minneapolis recently implemented a hate crimes hot line for residents to call in and report their employers, police, friend or family members they suspect of anti-Muslim “bias” whether in word or deed. The cities of San Francisco and Nashville have similar snitch lines encouraging people to report fellow residents and accuse them of being anti-Muslim.

On Friday the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose followers include such radicals as James Hodgkinson, who attempted to assassinate Rep. Steve Scalise and a dozen other Republican congressmen last month, reiterated its claim that Spencer is an “anti-Muslim extremist.” The SPLC’s only evidence for smearing Spencer’s character was that he said Islam is “not a religion of peace.”

“Newspapers all over the country refused to print the Muhammad cartoons and stand for the freedom of speech; instead, they pontificated about ‘respect’ for Muslims,'” Spencer said. “We are well on the way to accepting Sharia blasphemy laws. And once that submission is complete, submission to the rest of Sharia will follow.”

As for Alabi, he came to Canada 22 years ago from Nigeria.
“Since then, he’s followed Canadian laws and worked hard; he carries not one but two jobs today, just to ensure his family is cared for,” writes Goldy. “John’s a man with the sort of story every Canadian should be proud of. But instead, he’s being labelled a human rights violator.”

Ralph Sidway, a Christian writer who commented on the story for his Facing Islam blog, noted that Canada is now blatantly implementing Shariah blasphemy laws, trying to force a Christian man to pay a punitive tax to his former Muslim tenants.

“Canada is in essence behaving like a conquered, dhimmi state, extracting jizya from its citizens to appease its Islamic masters, who rank highest in the Canadian Human Rights hierarchy,” he wrote.

nwakibie3:
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi on Monday said that the economic recession in the country is not as bad as witnessed some months ago.

what he saying

No matter how good you are at screening people, occasionally one ‘flies under your radar’ and then you find yourself in presence of someone you really don’t want to be with on a totally bad date. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 foolproof ways to escape a bad date.

Have a Friend Call You Some Minutes into the Date

This is one technique that has been used over the ages and still remains effective. When you sense your date is going bad, excuse yourself and go to the bathroom with your phone. Call a close friend and ask them to call you a couple of minutes later asking for your immediate assistance. As soon as you hang up, apologize to your date and explain that you have to attend to an important call or emergency (whichever works for you).

Find out What He’s Looking For

Simply ask your date what he/she is looking for in a partner. Then when they tell you, look them in the eye and gently tell them that you don’t have any of those qualities, will never have any of them and that you don’t want to waste their time and your time. If the other person, tries to counter this, simply insist and politely excuse yourself and take your leave. This is a more straight-forward way to escape a bad date.

Spill a Drink on Yourself

It’s a sacrifice but you’ve got the weigh how bad the date is and if it’s a worthwhile sacrifice. The first step is to intentionally spill a drink on yourself, preferably water or a drink that wouldn’t stain your dress so badly. Once you’re visibly shaken by the spill, tell your date you have to go home right away to immediately get out of the clothes. If your date tries to say anything, insist, excuse yourself and take your leave.

Accuse Him of Looking at Another Woman

This one is for the dramatic at heart and typically works for women. Be vigilant and wait for your date’s eyes to drift to another woman in the room, watch him and wait for his eyes to linger for even half a second on the woman and then go ballistic on him. You don’t have to make a scene and start shouting in front of everyone, the key word here is ‘on him’. Give him the riot act, accuse him of being disrespectful, then pick your stuff up and quietly or dramatically take your leave (whichever works for you).

Just Tell Truth

There is nothing as liberating or easier to do than telling the truth, so simply be honest with your date and gently let them know the date is terrible and you can’t continue with it. Chances are your date already knows this and he/she was just finding it hard to let you know too. Yes egos might be bruised a little in the process, but you’re likely to appreciate each other for the sincerity.

Everyone knows that the worlds of high school and college couldn’t be further apart. But, what parallels can be drawn between the two?
From childhood to adulthood, high school allows you to gain a sense of what it will be like to be an adult.

On the other hand, college allows you to fully take ownership of your time, responsibilities and who you want to become.

As long as you’re able to stay on track of the goal at hand, i.e. getting marvelous grades, keeping a smart schedule and studying like crazy, you’ll be just fine. In college, balance is the key. Work a lot, have a little fun.

If it sounds pretty great, that’s because it absolutely is.
Here are a few comparisons that you’ll experience during your transition into the college lifestyle:

1. High School: In high school, you know everyone in your class.
College: In college, you’re lucky to know one person in your class.

2. High School: High school books are provided are little to no cost.
College: College textbooks cost a small fortune.

3. High School: You have to live with your parents in high school.
College: You get to live with your friends in college.

4. High School: You wake up early in the morning for class in high school.
College: You wake up for your first class (or whenever you want).

5. High School: In high school, you were forced to learn all subjects.
College: In college, you get to learn whatever you want to.

6. High School: In high school, your time and schedule are dictated by others.
College: In college, you take back ownership of time management.

7. High School: In high school, teachers read from the textbooks they use.
College: In college, professors refer to the textbooks they wrote.

8. High School: In high school, you studied comfortably at home before a test.
College: In college, the library becomes your home away from home.

9. High School: In high school, you wrote notes to friends.
College: In college, you take notes for yourself.

10. High School: In high school, you’re able finish all your homework in one night.
College: In college, that’s a near-to-impossible feat.

11. High School: In high school, you have a full day of classes.
College: In college, you plan your schedule to your liking.

12. High School: In high school, you’re stuck with a set social hierarchy.
College: In college, you get to choose who you spend time around.

13. High School: In high school, assigned reading means a night off from homework.
College: In college, you actually need to do the reading – and it takes all night.

14. High School: In high school, everyone is required to be there.
College: In college, everyone wants to be there.

15. High School: In high school, you worried about what “looked” cool.
College: [/b]In college, you’re too busy to care about what other people think.
[b]
16. High School: In high school, you’re stuck in a social “role” that others cast you in.
College: In college, you can be whoever you want to be.

17. High School: In high school, you have adults telling you what’s expected of you.
College: In college, it’s just expected.

18. High School: In high school, teachers gear classes towards average learners.
College: In college, average is the bare (emphasis on bare) minimum.

19. High School: High school attendance is mandatory.
College: College attendance is (strongly) suggested.

20. High School: In high school, you had a curfew you had to follow.
College: In college, you use your own judgment for what you have time to do.
