Dubai: A Pictorial Timeline of An Historic Transmogrification

[img]https://2.bp..com/-Z022bL_N0cw/XVBFpKPxnsI/AAAAAAAABPI/grrhNtJQE9A5K8IjGbaliFzBC3fPx9GpgCLcBGAs/s1600/Screenshot_20190806_093131.jpg[/img]

Transformation showcases visible headway and nowhere else can it be felt more notably than in the beautiful city of Dubai. In the course of the last few decades, with its strong design, exciting horizons, super shopping centers, and cosmopolitan way of life, Dubai has transmogrified into a noteworthy traveler destination throughout the globe. In spite of the fact that the “city of the future” as referred to by many, has witnessed a massive change after the discovery of valuable crude resources in 1966, it has a rich legacy, regardless of the misguided judgments individuals may have.

The 1960s initiated the transformational change to what might end up modern-day Dubai, various spearheading activities, including the opening of Dubai Airplane terminal and the principal customary international service by Kuwait Aviation route the following year. The Dubai Council of Business and Industry propelled in 1965 pursued toward the decade's end by the Dubai Gold Market, perceived as the third biggest purchaser of gold on the open market at the time.

In any case, before we continue, here are some energizing certainties and misconceptions you should know from this course of events.

1. Dubai is not a country. Perception they say is a reality. In the developing world, Dubai is believed to be an independent nation like the US, UK, and Canada by a vast number of people. This is a misconception that has gotten a broad affirmation in provincial social orders across nations of the world. Dubai is one of seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates. Situated south of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula, Dubai is more famous than UAE just like the city of Port Harcourt is to Rivers state in Nigeria.

2. UAE being the sovereign established government is a league of seven emirates comprising of Abu Dhabi (which fills in as the capital), Ajman, Duba, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain.

3. Each emirate is administered by a ruler; together, they mutually structure the Federal Supreme Council. One of the rulers fills in as the President of the United Arab Emirates.

4. Dubai got autonomy on the 2nd of December, 1971.

5. Dubai is the most populous emirate while it is the second biggest topographical region after Abu Dhabi. In view of the census conducted in 2005, Dubai which beforehand has a growing population of marginally more than four million people currently has an index population of near 10 million individuals as at 2018.

6. Dubai has prevalently comprised of more than 8 diverse ethnic gatherings originated from outside nations like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, leaving just 20% of the population indigenous.

7. Islam remains the overwhelming religion of the UAE.

8. Arabic is as yet their official language while English is widely used.

9. UAE Dirham (AED) is the recognizable spendable currency in Dubai.

10. Finally, Dubai is undoubtedly one of the most present-day and cosmopolitan city on the planet. This evolutionary change could be traced to the discovery of crude oil in 1966.

Events / 9/11: How The United States Lost Trillions Of Dollars To One Awful Experience by Gistadom: 10:05am On Sep 12, 2019
Economic Impact Of 9/11 On The United States.

[img]https://1.bp..com/-FdTKGiN6Klo/XXgLU64m9yI/AAAAAAAABUI/DlK4zQwEPyYa52AfVFat7XuSpl2mg9FNQCLcBGAs/s1600/main_600%252814%2529.jpg[/img]

Following the terror attack which happened in the United States many years ago, multiple trillion of dollars were lost to an event which lasted for a day. The 9/11 attacks had both immediate and long-term detrimental effect on the U.S. economy, some of which thrive till this present day. The U.S. economy experienced the ill-effects of a dread assault. The attacks made the Dow drop almost 700 points and dredged the 2001 recession. Many Wall Street establishments, including the New York Stock Exchange, were evacuated during the attacks. On the first day of trading after the attacks, the market fell 7.1 percent or 684 points. New York City’s economy alone lost 143,000 jobs a month and $2.8 billion in wages in the first three months. The heaviest losses were in finance and air transportation, which accounted for 60 percent of lost jobs. The estimated expense of the World Trade Center damage is $60 billion. The cost to clean the debris at Ground Zero was $750 million.

[img]https://1.bp..com/-VctiaFaHhMk/XXgLB-YnYXI/AAAAAAAABUA/vx2KyO54w2wq-Ip8i2ZXlKzXarC_u6QVwCLcBGAs/s1600/main_600%252811%2529.jpg[/img]

It likewise prompted the War on Terror, one of the most noticeable reasons for government spending in U.S. history. The breakdown beneath incorporates prompt expenses and physical harms of the attack, just as the financial effect, homeland security, war subsidizing and future war costs.

Complete Expense Of 9/11 Attacks To The U.S.

Al Qaeda spent roughly $400,000 to $500,000 to plan and execute the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In 2011, the New York Times estimated in a report that the attacks cost the U.S. $3.3 trillion in the accompanying regions.

9/11 Death Toll

The total loss of life of 2,977 – excluding the 19 hijackers – outperformed that of Pearl Harbor on December 1941. The loss of life included 2,606 individuals at the World Trade Center, 125 at the Pentagon, and 246 on the four planes.

Damage

[img]https://1.bp..com/-RxjWWSdR_qo/XXgMZ-tpsgI/AAAAAAAABUU/4dMz9exWVB8P8IKglf-u9L4TXkDIKgiOgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/main_600%252812%2529.jpg[/img]

A 2002 report from the New York Comptrollers Office estimated the cost of 9/11's physical harm at $55 billion. Of that, $24 billion is the expected income of the lives lost. The value of the World Trade buildings alone was $8 billion. Computers, furniture, and autos cost $6 billion. The damage to utilities and the subway system was also $6 billion. Damage to other buildings cost $5 billion. The city spent $5 billion to treat injuries, including those suffered by first responders who inhaled the toxic dust. It spent $1 billion to clean up the area.

Immediate Economic Impact

[img]https://1.bp..com/-CrdER_v7mVk/XXgMkoiSfXI/AAAAAAAABUY/CTwkw6E8l4c1d-dx-ZCOX_PYVa-V6jkBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/world-trade-center-attacks-anniversary.jpg[/img]

The stock market closed for four trading days after the attacks, the first time since the Great Depression when President Roosevelt closed the exchanges for two days in March of 1933 to stop a bank run.

The Federal Reserve dropped the fed funds rate half a point to 3.0 percent. The stock market reopened on September 17, 2001. The Dow promptly fell 7.13 percent, closing at 8,920.70. The 617.78-point loss was the Dow's worst one-day drop at that time. Stock prices recovered that loss by October.

Oil prices fell from $23.77 a barrel in August 2001 to $15.95 in December. Although oil prices decline in the fall, this was a sharper decline than usual. Another cause was the dollar's value which rose sharply between August and December. Investors perceive the U.S. dollar as a safe investment during times of crisis. Send oil contracts are priced in dollars, oil exporters can lower oil prices when the dollar strengthens.

The airline industry lost $5 billion from the attacks. The four-day shutdown cost $1.4 billion alone. Passengers were afraid of flying for at least a year. As a result, 1,000 planes were parked during that time, and thousands of workers were furloughed. On September 22, Bush signed into law $15 billion in federal loans.

2001 Recession

The 9/11 attacks worsened the 2001 recession, which had begun in March 2001. The economy had contracted 1.1 percent in the first quarter but bounced up 2.1 percent in the second quarter. The attacks made the economy contract 1.7 percent in the third quarter, extending the recession. Growth returned to 1.1 percent in the fourth quarter. The Y2K scare had initially caused the recession. It created a boom and subsequent bust in internet businesses.

Although the recession ended in November 2001, the threats of war drove the Dow down for another year. It hit bottom on October 9, 2002, when it closed at 7,286.27. That was a 37.8 percent decline from its peak. No one knew for sure if the bull market had resumed until the Dow hit a higher low March 11, 2003, closing at 7,524.06. Unemployment continued to climb until June 2003, when it reached 6 percent. That was the peak for that recession.

War on Terror

On September 20, 2001, President Bush called for a War on Terror. He said, “Americans should not expect one battle but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen.” Then he put it into action.

Bush launched the War in Afghanistan to find and bring to justice Osama bin Laden. He was the head of the al-Qaeda organization that launched the 9/11 attacks. In its first year, Congress appropriated $29.3 billion in emergency funding for the war.

On March 21, 2003, President Bush sent troops into Iraq. He said the Central Intelligence Agency had found weapons of mass destruction. He added that Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, was aiding al-Qaeda operatives. Congress appropriated $36.7 billion in emergency funding for the War in Iraq in its first year.

The costs for both wars kept mounting. By the end of Bush's two terms in office, the War on Terror cost $1.164 trillion. That was added to increased spending for the Defense Department and Homeland Security. President Obama spent $807 billion during his two terms. President Trump budgeted $156 billion. That brought the cost of the War on Terror to $2.126 trillion.

Debt Crisis

The most significant economic impact of the 9/11 attacks was how the increased defense spending led to the U.S. debt crisis. Without the War on Terror, the 2018 debt would be $19 trillion or less. That’s $21 trillion total debt, at present, minus $2 trillion. That would be 93 percent of the country’s economic output. The U.S. gross domestic product was $20.4 trillion in 2018. This total is still higher than the 77 percent debt-to-GDP tipping point recommended by the World Bank. But it's much better than the actual 104 percent level.

Eighteen years ago, the US saw the psychological effects of a disastrous event as they experienced in action the unforeseen ability of mankind to destroy. To those that witnessed the tragedic episode of this horrendous annihilation, they felt like it was the unexpected “end of the world.” On the 11th of September, 2001, one of the most carefully planned terrorist attack was carried out by a team of 19 militants on the soil of the United States. The attack which had been planned for years and well-coordinated was undoubtedly orchestrated by the al-Qaeda Islamic extremist group headed by “Osama bin Laden” as at that time.

To the cupidinous crave of concluding this loathsome mission, four enormous airliners were synchronously commandeered (hijacked) by the attackers with the sole intention of crashing them into real tourist spots in the US, wreaked havoc as much they could. Two of the planes struck their targets in New York City, another was flown into Virginia, Washington; while the fourth crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

In just one day, these intentional demonstrations of mass homicide and unleashed devastation saw the end of almost 3,000 individuals from 57 different nations which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism to extremism. According to reports, more than 400 of the dead were first responders, including New York City firefighters, cops, and EMTs. It was one of the most-covered media events of all time, and after a decade, the pictures are as yet hard to believe. These assaults and the global reaction to them have significantly shaped the world we live in, so it stays imperative to see the pictures and recollect exactly what occurred on that gloomy day.

Popular A-list and Afrobeat Nigerian artist and supposed owner of the biggest record label in Africa (as boasted by DMW CEO himself), David Adedeji Adeleke, referred to just as Davido, has taken to Twitter at precisely 11:12 PM, Sep 2, 2019 to announce to all his fans and well-wishers across the terrain of Africa and beyond, his introduction with his sweetheart (Chioma) and his anticipating wedlock in 2020. The news which caught much social media audience in awe has since then garnered an enormous widespread crosswise major blogs in Nigeria, reputable forums and other trustworthy social platforms on the web. Notwithstanding the authenticity of this news by Davido himself, a larger part of Nigerians is still distrustful about their impending union. Be that as it may, if this affirmation by Davido eventually ends up being valid one year from now, his acceptance and dominance in the Southern region of Nigeria will drastically become impermeable. This is due to the fact that this region has as for decades being the entertainment steamroller and indomitable powerhead of Nigeria music industry and Western Africa as a whole.

Davido who is a charismatic famous musician has won several top-rated awards from his early days in Nigeria's music scene. He's one of the few musicians that enjoy natural love from the people, and even though David can be irksome sometimes, he is known for his habit of helping the needy, discovering potentials, and promoting young talents. As a rich, famous and handsome youngster, Davido maximized those odds by dating a lot of appealing women amidst his career. His ex darlings incorporate Stacey Brianar Brown, Funmi Aboderin, Sira Kante, Nish Kards, and his baby mommas Sophie Momodu and Amanda, who gave him two cute little girls Aurora Imade and Hailey. In spite of every one of these ladies is in his past, they've exclusively contributed something emphatically in his life and career. Davido opened his most recent chapter in a relationship when he publicly ratified his romantic stance with Chioma.


Will Davido Marry Chioma?

Of the inquiry on whether Davido will marry Chioma or not, David has proven to some extent his faithful intention in spending the rest of his life with her. Until further notice, we all are persuaded to a certain extent that there's a future in their union. We'll all hold up till next year to ascertain whether Davido is truly a man of his word or not.

Today, Gistadom Naija will love to scoop to you 6 unrivalled attribute that Chioma personified that makes her be able to wheedle Davido into marriage. Remain loose as you gain from the mastery of Chioma in expediting Davido to the rear adventure of a lifetime junction.


6 Outstanding Characteristics Chioma Uses To Bait Davido Into Marriage

1. Patience: There's no better way of withholding a man's heart in a relationship than being an exceptionally tolerant lady. In religion, prayer is the master key. Whereas, the role supplication is playing in religion is ingeniously rule out by something different in the relationship. When hoping for a better relationship that is abiding and can stand the trial of time, consistently recollect that patience is the master key. Chioma Avril Rowland, simply called Chioma, who's already a graduating student in the making is a 400 level Economics understudy at the Babcock University. In 30th April 2018, Davido in one of his response to a Twitter troll asserted that he has been involved with her for 5 years.

[img]https://1.bp..com/-YjAwll7SF2o/XW74EYcewmI/AAAAAAAABRM/rwo_ZPTVbJwQcfL2Tyzrh0GOia0aPT-PwCLcBGAs/s1600/davido6.jpg[/img]

Today makes it exactly 6 years and 4 months that they've been dating not until Davido broke the news two days ago that their relationship is about to encounter a gradual shift to matrimony with a successful introduction held at Chioma's parent's house. Amidst all these years of courtship, Davido manned up enough by dating and impregnating two wonderful ladies. Unlike other fretful and impatient women out there, Chioma taciturn response is something worth mulling over for all ladies that have ears. The 24-year-old lady didn't rush to Twitter or Instagram to malign her man's actions on the public space, rather, she chose to react in silence. Her attitude then was considered dumb by the Nigerian populace while many of Davido's fans and non-fans thought about her as a potential baby momma. Today, the lousy ones won the war on social media while she (Chioma) in silence won the battle in reality.

2. Sacrification: Chioma gained admission into Babcock University in the year 2012 where she met Davido, and later conjoined and became the two lovebirds roaming the internet today. Of the subject of how she met Davido, Chioma said “I met him in school through a companion. My friend was dating his friend when we met.” According to Vanguard, a piece of news once broke out that Chioma’s folks weren’t on the side of how their daughter dumped school to pursue the artist. As a matter of fact, a source once uncovered to Vanguard again that she once skirted an entire session just to be with Davido and needed to defer her studies. In fact, she once said that she's not returning to Babcock. To some she's lost in affection yet actually, she's just being conciliatory. Not all ladies would have gone that far to indicate reliability to her darling, but Chioma, in all honesty, left all and follow David as being directed in the Holy book.

3. Chefdom: On Instagram, Chioma isn't broadly known by her genuine name and byname. The spouse-to-be to Davido is prevalently known as Chefchi on Instagram and other social media space. So many ladies in this contemporary age are lost in the belief that cooking skill is no longer a necessity and a needed criterion to infiltrate into a man's life and decision. That's off-base and let me break it down a smidgen. A man can value your human beauty much enough to date you yet with regards to spousing a lady, domestic excellence such as cooking skill and ability to do some basic house chores are imperative criteria required when picking a wife capable enough to manage a man's home. Being a Chef that she is, Chioma was able to convince Davido into marriage, something many of Davido's Ex wasn't able to do.

4. Reserved: One unique trait that totally persuaded Davido to marry Chioma is her uncommon disposition of being reserved. Being reserved in the sense that she was somewhat reluctant in her approach of managing issues and revealing emotions. One of the greatest quality a man needs in a woman is her extraordinary capacity to disguise and control her emotions. Chioma is a young lady with a grown-up cerebrum and that shows in her several ways of fighting her battle in silence. Silence is a riddle since what people know, they destroy. What they can't figure out with they call names. From her numerous reaction to trolls to the way, she crushed the negative mindset of Nigerians towards the fate of her union with Davido is a sure confirmation that she's indeed a strong woman that's capable of fighting the many battles of her matrimonial home in the future. Chioma is reserved and wifely, and that's what over 70% of guys out there want in a promising relationship.

5. Tolerance: Who could have believed that as at the time when Chioma was in a courtship with Davido that David could be nervy enough to impregnate two different ladies. Regardless of this mishap caused by David, we've never observed on the media where Chioma castigated Davido of his wrongdom. Instead, she endured the most terrible glaring missteps of Davido by giving those ladies a momentary passing yard in Davido's life while ingeniously withstraining the future away from them. Tolerance is the most effective preservative agent for any relationship. It has kept her relationship with David this far. Tolerance is more significant in a relationship than love itself in light of the fact that the day you quit enduring the dreadful attitude of your lover is the day he/she becomes your Ex. That being said, an affection without tolerance is a passionate accident.

6. Steadiness: The fantasy of every man is to marry a supportive woman that is capable of supporting his dream and aspiration. More often than not, the dominant parts of supportive women out there are managerial in nature. Chioma is both a steady and managerial lady that has been cleverly administrating Davido's expenses lately. This can be verified when she disavowed the Porsche car David used to celebrate her birthday last year. She should likewise have been the one that exhorted Davido to briefly defer his arrangement of obtaining a private Jet.
