Airline is one of the most difficult businesses. It’s a high cost, low margin business.

Some people only went into it for prestige.

The bull


People who made our growing up interesting...


Okocha , Kanu , rasheed yekini, aghahowa,

God bless una boku boku for the awesome memory





Had this same experience in UAE , Egyptians , and Arab alhaly fans don't joke with him.... It's very strange !! But here nobody gives a damn about him


.
Have had similar experience with an Algerian, Egyptians and Saudis.

The Algerian man knew almost all Nigerian players of 1994 from the top of his head, even more than myself.

But this Amokachi experience in Turkey was the one I found most amazing.

Still waiting for opportunity to phone in to that Amokachi’s programme and ask him whether he knows how popular he is in Turkey.

I was holidaying in Turkey last year and almost every adult (40 years and above) appeared to know him. Once they knew I’m from Nigeria, the next thing is “Ehhh, Nigeria? Amokachi, good player; Okocha, good player; Uche, good player”.

I almost ate free food because of Amokachi at one restaurant as the attendant was reverring me as if I was Amokachi’s brother. I met another man at the mosque and he was practically begging me for photograph just because I was from Amokachi’s country.

I wonder what these guys will do if they met Amokachi himself. Mob him?

To think these guys played football in Turkey over 20 years ago. And they are still this popular. Or well, maybe I have been meeting Besiktas and Fernabache fans.
Health › Re: Coronavirus: Vitamin D Reduces Infection And Impact Of COVID-19, Studies Find by Glaswegian: 1:16pm On Sep 28, 2020
Not surprised at this.

Vitamin D has been proved to be helpful in managing viral conditions. Even without having virus, sustained critical deficiency in vitamin D can be fatal. As Vitamin D is usually received in the liver, then the kidney, sustained deficiency could even destroy the organ.

A virus infected system uses a lot of vitamin D so the Vitamin D from the sun will not be enough.

Vitamin D supplementation is advised for anyone suffering from viral diseases, not just Covid.

Buhari delegated Osibanjo cos it's Accra.

If it's UK or any better country, Ajala for go by himself.

How a Nepa bill holder is turning a Professor to errand boy is beyond my comprehension.

How do I explain all these to my children cry
If he didnt send him, you will be on social media asking "Where is Osinbajo hiding? He is not visible. He has been silenced by the cabal".

Now, he is visible and you still have a problem.

Haba.

LaboPolitics:
When you start a business, the first 1-2years should be for experimentation, under normal condition.

When you take stock at the end of the business year and the figures are not looking good as you keep recording losses, identify the problems and if realistically insurmountable due to factors you cannot control. Pack up and leave.

Sometimes location is everything.
Layman. That simple until you implement it.

The analysis that went into the decision was beyond this. Businesses miss forecast return all over the world. No big deal.

Thanks bro... So no hope for guys with 2:2 huh
No. There is hope for everybody, although first class and 2:1 clearly give advantage.

Here are some notes for 2:2 grads

1. Some companies don’t care about grade (though few)
2. Some companies lower the threshold to 2:2
3. Informal networking

Bro are you serious, please tell me more
Most companies that recruit on merit (PwC, KPMG, EY, Deloitte etc, plus banks and consulting firms, only ask for 2:1 in any course.
Education › Re: Graduates Of Sociology, Where Are You Working Now? by Glaswegian: 8:50am On Sep 04, 2020
If you studied sociology and made a 2:1, you stand a better chance of getting more job test invites than someone that studied economics nd made a 2:2.

For entry level, grade matters a lot. Possibly more than course of study.

It’s the work of jinn.

Type “ruqya” in youtube and play it every night before you go to bed. Trust me, it wont happen again.

It’s a set of qur’anic verses that ward off jinn.

You may download it or play it from youtube every night.

Works wonder.

Nope. As soon as Nig Int'l airports resume operation from Sept 5 hopefully, flights originating from Nig would start flying to UK. You do have to self isolate for 14 days upon arrival though.

That thing is really doing damage. Killed a former colleague too.
