Is it a refundable ticket?

Since her visa was not already processed, the best thing was for her to book a "fully-refundable ticket". It usually cost a bit higher but at least it's better than loosing the whole fare if she doesn't meet the departure.

Well, she should check the refund policies of the airline. Some airlines stop admiting refunds 24 hours to departure

So we are still celebrating this 12km road?
I mean, we already did the whole of last week, why are we still jalivanting again?

Being a Nigerian politician seems to be the easiest job in the world. Nobody expects anything from you. No need for accountablilty, no intelligent questions from the citizens to the leaders. You don't even need a certificate (Oluwale does the job well these days). Just be churning 3k to 5k every now and then, then roast corn, fry ponmo or akara across the street for effect. Jackpot! Viola!

Oblang:
Did the govt claim there is aeroplane or website? They made it clear what they were doing...

So you mean that they commission logo first, tell us -Nigerians and the world. Then rest.

Then after sometime, maybe 2 years, they'll get a website, and then we rest again.

They maybe 10 years later, they'll get the first 5th-hand aeroplane. Then we'll take another break.

Finally, by 2050, the first set of passengers will board to Togo, abi?

You see why it's obvious that you don't have sense?

How much will it have been if you 1st changed Naira to Dollar and then Dollar to Yuan?

badjack:
This PDP people are very confused. Their devilish actions against Nigerians are affecting them. Must they antagonise every good thing done by they APC? Nigerian which I am one is not taking them serious. They should play the role of opposition in a better way.

good? Did you say good? Did I just hear you say "good"? Did you just say that commissioning a logo is good? Are you mad?

Do you know that that logo was designed in a another country? Have you asked questions or can you imagine how much they spent on that logo?

Do you know that there is no aeroplane yet? Not even one aeroplane on ground. They are still "planning" on blablabla investors? You saw that commisioning jamboree was done in a room of about 20 people.

Do you know that there is not website for the said airline, even if na "under construction" website? As in w-e-b-s-i-t-e? Even a blogger knows what to do before announcing his/her domain name - get a website take up the facebook, twitter and instagram handles! But no, the guys you are defending ain't even computer literates to start with.

Do you know that a citizen smarter that all the Nigerian leaders have occupied the most likely and most conveninent web address? And has put it up for sale?

Let me tell you something, for the sake of your future, and the future of this nation, please stop taking 30K allowance to defend these destiny-wasters on the internet. None of them care about the citizens of this nation. And we need to start asking intelligent questions and holding our leaders accountable, whether PDP or APC.

I just exchanged at 57, so kini big deal
This government wayo! Always telling lies

Favor99:
I’m disappointed in you and most Nigerian women that put their men down. It’s obvious Nigerian women don’t have our back and throw us under the bus any opportunity. When other races where bashing Nigerian men on a YouTube video, Nigerian women were no where to be found to defend their men.
When Jamaican men were getting bashed, their women came in and defended them.
This continent of Africa is being attacked and targeted on all fronts. Nigerian men defend Nigerian women whenever anyone insults them, I can’t say Nigerian women do the same. This bad trend seems to be a problem in several African countries

Tell that to one stupid guy here called donstan18

So wait, the airline does not have a website "under construction" yet? You mean the really commissioned only logo?

Nigerian leaders are not smart thinkers at all.

Hijab is for the poor, uneducated, under-educated, and unexposed

Even "thousand-aire" muslims don't wear it anymore. Eg Aishat Os.... (the female footballer), that one dear rock bikini sef

I'm beginning to think every black man abroad engaged in one shady deal or another quickly claims "Nigeria". How did this woman know that the guy is Nigerian? Because he said so?

For all I care, there is no evidence that the man is from Nigeria. You don't know him, his name, his proper phone number, his address, his relatives, nothing. There is even no evidence that this story is true

Anyway, it's called "occupational hazard", just as every other job. Kini big deal. She should carry her cross in peace. And stop bothering our eyes with such horror pictures.

Never hit a woman, even with a flower.

Is there any evidence that this happened in Nigeria? Because I cannot see it from the post. And all the notice-me obodo oyibo folks are jumping around telling us about how poor we are.

Hello all, please may I ask.

My original transcript is in two languages (one line of Language A, one line of English Languange in successions). Please do you think that I should make a new translation of this document to only English again?

Switch positions a bit.

If black people were white, and white people were balck - skin color wise, you'll still turn around and call white skinned people "pale, fragile humans, looking like doll babies" and/or what ever other names you conjure in your head. Then you'll turn around and celebrate black people as "chocolate milk skin looking lick-able, graciously bestowed front and back".

You know why?

You have very very very low self-esteem.
You think too little of yourself.

It's nobody's fault but yours!

Congratulations Champs!
I'm happy for you all

Are you normal at all?

Well done.

No oyibo around the ribbon today. Seems this project was done strictly by Nigerians. Signs of good things to come

Well done BUA

Every successful person is hardworking. You think they musicians, footballers have it any have it any easier because their performance time is short, right? Do you how long they practiced behind the scenes?

A successful pianoist might practice for 6 months to perform in a concert for less than 10mins for instance. Ronaldo (a successful footballer) could be training both body and mind up to 20 hours a day. Do you know what Kim K spends on time, doctors, professional employees/artists, nutritionists etc to make sure her body appears perfect? All these, you can't tell. But you see them counting money of Instagram and you assume it's all rossy. And you imagine "no be just to wear bikini take picture?". My brother it is not o

Some people might be naturally talented at something, but you must nuture a talent in other to create wealth out of it.

Identifying "the fertile ground" is where smart-work comes to play. Also identifying your future early and good mentorship are key factors.

Althogether, it's hard work plus smart work

NB: I'm not talking about inherited wealth o. I'm talking about people who build themselves from scratch.

Dumping or Joining a political party ideally should be because your principles do not tally with your current party.

But here, these parties have no set standards, no regulations, no moral principles, no ideals, no plans. The only thing that spikes these movements is money, money and money. Which party is the money gonna flow more. Which political office will I get from this party. Which party will allow me to unleash the demonbin me without restrictions etc.

It has nothing to do with service to the citizens. They do not care about us!

Pope22:
Touts on Nairaland

I said - Shatap!

Pope22:
How many has ur governor built?

Shatap! You'all need to stop comparing failure with failure
Besides his governor musn't build something before he could have an opinion.

So all these fanfare and jamboree because a state's governor used state funds and citizen's tax to build a road? Road as is R-O-A-D? A 21st century road with open drainage?
How many km is this road if I may ask

The women even sewed uniform! Chai! Nigeria is my country.

In the dynamics of marriage, core decisions such as relocation should not be solely determined by how much a spouse earns.

So if odds fall on you, and it's obvious that one spouse relocation presents better advantage to the family growth and kids welfare, but because you are an alfa-male with your egoistic dogma, and stay put - "you are not doing me, you are doing yourself"

Explorers:
Ake, a former Buddhist monk, also advised the boys to avoid moving between digging shifts and to spend long stretches of time meditating to conserve energy.

The group survived on nothing but water running from the cave roof for 10 days before being found, with one boy saying he imagined fried rice in order to feel full.

Asked how long it took to feel hungry, the boys revealed: 'After two days I started to feel it. Coach Ake told us those who have strong torch lights to switch off because we want to use that later'

Hahaha

Such a heart-warming story.
I'm so emotional right now, wipes please

Handsome boys.
Thanks to the volunteers and everyone who worked tirelessly to make sure they came out safely.

Thank you all for showing us humanity at it's finest!

Another thing to note is that China does not have prenium technologies, not yet. What they do is that they can go any length, pay any amount in this whole world to grab technological documents from technologically advanced countries in Europe and America. Also can pay exorbitantly to get their staff trained by the owners of the core tech. Then viola!

Give them two years, just two years, they will remodel that technology, retweek it here and there and present to the world a "brand new" technology!

My company paid more that 150,000RMB to get a software called Bladed from England. Just software o. And it's just one year authorization, allows only one computer at a time. Lol. Also they will come to train staff on the usage - 15 hours a week for 4 weeks at another mind-buggling sum! We are all on it now. Hehe

There is actually nothing wrong with that per say. The strategy is good because it works for them!

For instance:
1. Uber came out as just a car hailing service, convey you from point A to B, maybe with GPS services, I don't know. But you need to see what DiDi is today! Apart from these basic services, they have gone steps higher to introduce more car-hailing options, very multifunctional, very smart APP, very flexible too.

Kuai che - If you are in a hurry, from point A to B
Shunfeng che - You can book ahead, say you wanna leave at 5pm, you can book it hours or even days ahead.
VIP che - With this option, you can hail a very touché car, even Hummer Jeep sef - well dressed, kitted up drivers and professional services, for those that value the art of classy arrivals to events.
Gongjiao che - If you are going to switch to public bus midway.
Daima - Let's say you hang out and get drunk, they'll send a driver to take you home in your own car.
Self-drive Rental - Self explainatory name right?
They've started selling second hand cars too.

Same thing they did with Wechat. With wechat now, no one needs to look for change after a purchase, you can scan or get scanned to pay for anything and everything, you can send your real-time location, shake your phone with someone at the same time and the phones connect, make new friends within a range, news feeds, mini programs, games + ranking with your contacts, favorites, mobile top-up, paying utility bills etc.

They also support third-party APPs. Classy right?

The funny thing is that all these American versions are banned and blocked in China. Whatsapp, Google, Youtube just name it. So you must download and use the Chinese versions, most of which now have English translations by the way.

Example: After DiDi Taxi gained grounds in China, they ousted Uber out (with strict policies and stringent measures). Eventually, Uber left China, they left more than two years ago. Now its DiDi all over.

Whatsapp, Google, Amazon etc all blocked.
Except you start using VPN which is illegal, difficult to get, and they'll still be frustrating you with bad and unstable network connections

So the alternative is to ask your people abroad to download those apps for them to keep in touch with you. Do you see their intelligent marketing strategy?

Chinese government is really smart, run by highly intelligent and futuristic leaders with goodwill for their nation and people as priority.

So I laugh when I see them come to Africa, and expliot Africans (like the topic on frontpage today) and Africans still shout "good development". First of all, ask yourself, "is China Father Christmas"? Fire!

Trouble dey o

So, MURIC is now the mouth-piece/ spokesperseon of the Federation now abi? They are now dictating what to do and what not to do, what is fair and what is not. We warned you guys o Hehehe
