Hello, bro.
Is there still an opening?

I don't know.

But you may want to watch the World War II movie - "Hacksaw Ridge," and think of what Desmond Doss said about fighting back.

He was a Christian who said his bible never said that. He went to the war without holding a gun and he survived.
Rather than fighting, he was saving lives. And when he was hit, his focus was on saving himself and others.
He'd eventually live till 2006 - when he died.

Your experience is mai-mai if compared to mine! I can't believe you created this thread because of that!

As I usually do, I called the hotel I always stay in Orleans, France. I informed the owner (I know him and family in person) that I was coming to spend 3 days. I was assured my favorite room would waiting for me.

At the D-day, I arrived at 1 am, 1hr. late (train delayed a little) from The Netherlands to find out my room was already given to someone else. I wasn't even allowed inside the hotel because it was already closed for the day. I had to sleep outside in hotel's glass enclosure after its outside door.

This glass enclosure somehow helped to keep the cold a little bit out because this happened during a very cold winter! I used my bag as a pillow while the rest of my body lay on the hard floor.

Imagine waking up in the morning on floor to see 4 pairs of white people's eyes moping at you wondering if you were homeless to sleep there. It was embarrassing. I was lucky, I wasn't robbed or died of cold.

The owner of the hotel was called after I complained. He was shocked about my experience, he and his son apologized and compensated me with free two days accommodation with free breakfast and lunch. The owner gave me his private phone and promised it won't happen again, and surely it didn't.

So you now see why your experience is mai-mai.

It wasn't actually to compare who had the worst experiences, though. It was just for everyone to share theirs.

2007 December; Christmas period.
GUO Motors.
Damaturu to Onitsha (Original bus exit was from Maiduguri).

17th to Dec. to 19th Dec.

As a young guy that had just moved to the north recently, I had grown up to learn that villa for Christmas was the in-thing. Unfortunately, my fellow guys that were either born in the north or had moved when they were children, did not understand this.
And because I travelled alone (I was in ss3) and I loved adventure, I was always usually conscious of transport fare cost and how it increases as Christmas drew closer. Nowadays, I can leave on the 25th Dec. to the east or the 24th, but in those days, I was never going to do that.
So, the day came. The seat was N4,550, but I wasn't personally going to pay that amount. I had 5k with me, but instead, I asked for "obele oche" (attach). They told me 2k, and I was more than happy to pay.

Since Damaturu had no park for luxury buses, and since it was only GUO, The Young, and later, Gold, that was shuttling Maid to Onitsha at the time, we had to be at the park before 10am because the bus usually left Maiduguri around 9am. Damaturu to Maid was just an hour drive.

So, I waited, and this GUO luxury came. The bus was fine, sweet and looked chalachala. I hopped in, paid my 2k, and was happy. The bus was so filled up with attach people, but it was normal since as per long-distance, attach was a normal thing. The bus was so fast and crazily speedy. We enjoyed luxurious buses with good speed.

50 minutes into the long ride and we heard a loud blast sound. I thought it was a gunshot, but turned out a tire had blasted. We had not even reached the very popular Potiskum. We fixed the tire and moved on. This time the bus wasn't as fast as it was originally. We reached Potislum and checked it. Turned out there's something called a "balloon" close to the tire that was leaking. It prevented the vehicle from moving fast enough. We continued to move slowly, and by 7pm we were at Jos. On a norms, when you leave Damaturu by 10am, with the pace of that bus, we should've been in Jos by 3pm. We tried and tried until we reached Akwanga (Nassarawa) by 10pm. We then passed the night.
For those who travelled Maiduguri to Onitsha in those days, the parking place for buses was usually Obollo Afor (Enugu), but we were not even anywhere close to the state at that time.

The next morning, 18th Dec., mechanics tried and tried, but nothing came forth. Time was going and two people had already found their way by entering buses they saw on the road. 4pm, and youth corp members in the bus got angry. Those days, corpers looked so huge. Not like the 20-year-old boys we see wearing nysc attire} pppppup and down nowadays. They held the conductor on the jugular and asked for their money. It got so intense that they nearly dealt with the conductor. Driver was a big man with a big stomach, and he cared less. They eventually called another bus from Jos. By the time the bus arrived, it was past 6pm. Transloading started. Turned out the length of luxury buses aren't usually the same. It also turned out that those that load bags & luggage into buses from the park can never be compared to those that will load from outside it...
We moved, and 11pm, we got to Obollo. We rested till about 4:30am and continued our final destination to Onitsha. After the bus entered new road (that leads to 9th mile), the bus had a fault and the driver left us and went to sleep. Since everyone felt they were closer to home, they left him and started finding their way.

I had spent a lot of my money on food that I didn't have enough for even tfare again. From around like 6am, I and others were there waiting and thinking of what to do. People had left, and it was just me and 4 siblings. They had called their family from Delta to come and carry them, and around 4pm the driver came. I eventually entered the same bus with them and they dropped me at Onitsha.
I left 17th and was supposed to reach on the 18th morning, but reached on the 19th evening. Terrible experience. No bathing, broke, hungry, etc.

Not all new vehicles are as sound as they seem.

efe21:
Is this you on Skype? Followed the Skype I.D you dropped.

You screenshotted a man's picture and details and posted here. I'm sure it won't be a problem because the face isn't Nigerian. What if the face was?

Can I kindly ask that you remove the image?

DaCharis2016:
How genuine can this be?

Genuine. It's not $0.7 but $0.07.

It's tough, but people are doing it.

Aizenosa:
Answer is 0m.

Proof: if you divide the rope into two halves you have 40m in length for one half, which is10m short the full length of one of the poles the only way to have 10m distance from the ground is if both poles have 0m distance apart.

Thus, if you move both poles apart the rope stretches and the distance from the ground becomes greater than 10m.

Nice. Please, under what topic in mathematics is the question?

valirex:
What is the used code pls

Just get a new airtel sim, and you're eligible. It lasts for 3 months.

Na so dem dey earn 12,000 dollars abi?

Am interested in the job. I can type with a speed of 120 wmp. 08063024811 WhatsApp

finadvisor:
Good morning my good people. I appreciate our patience so far. Although I thought this was going to be a large team,but we can't wait for everyone. Anyone who does not like fire should get out of the kitchen.

Today is the last for this batch. Tomorrow is going to be a good day. We will start tomorrow. If you know anyone that this might benefit,dont be stingy with information. Let the applications roll.

As a way of reminder, please all those who applied Will be contacted with further directives. If you do not already have TELEGRAM please download it from play store

Actually, there's a little problem.
True. There're people that this might benefit. But you have to work to have earned, to be able to be convinced to pass the information. Shay you get?

Like, I don't know what I'm getting into, but you want me to invite others to benefit? I don't see the wisdom in that.
Keep it up sha.

ameh99:
And please how much would it cost to land it in Abuja

Nawa o. You dey think ahead sha.

Abi you dey drive all these petroleum trailers wey no dey on lockdown?

mikovo2002:
I don't have a laptop but I have a Tablet can that be useful. I need reply

Work no dey again. Chill till after coro

Airtel 4g has been crap since the lockdown started

Wrong. Must be your location.

2^2x=8x
1/8=x/2^2x
1/8=x(2^-2x)
1/8=xe^ln2^-2x
1/8=xe^-(2xln2)
Our aim is to make it ye^y
Multiply both sides by-2ln2
(-ln2)/4=-2xln2e^(-2xln2)

We see the right hand side is now ye^y
Were the y is -2xln2 so this is omega or Lambert w or product log function format.

2xln2=Wz( ( ln2)/4)
x=(Wz( (ln2)/4)/2ln2
Were z is all integer.
Wz((ln2)/4))=4ln2
Substitute
X=-4ln2/2ln2=2
This is the correct one I even made an error in the omega in the initial work thanks for pushing me to solve again

and others come see the solution

Nice one, bro.
You haven't lost your touch.

Mrshape:
But the solution he approved is wrong.
And no other correct method was found in the whole tread? Apart from trial and error method, who takes that serious?

I wish you could solve it like the rest without doing a screenshot.

Mrshape:
I have checked through all the comments no one presented a mathematically correct solution.
They are all manipulations
So far too my knowledge only Lambert W can solve this type of questions numerically.

I was expecting one of the comments to prove me wrong.
But i just keep on finding mathematical error in each.

The OP didn't state whether it should be solved numerically or not.

Mrshape:
THE SOLUTION ACTUALLY CAME OUT FIVE YEARS AFTER.

I DID NOT SEE ANY CORRECT SOLUTON THERE ONLY ONE person. Was able to tell the method and answer but no solution the others failed woefully

Did you consider whether or not they used a different method?

sampete:
Yeah, even with the lockdown. The pain is always there when I go jogging concurrently each day. It's lesser if it's once a week. I can live with that.

All right, bro.

Apparently it's an internal problem that might need an xray scan or something.

sampete:
Still not as frequent as I would like because of the pains. Now I go jogging once a week.

Once a week even in the lockdown?

When last did you experience the pain?

Mrshape:
My workings is too technical to type with this basic keypad. It will consume my time besides let me see the chiv guys solution I have not seen it yer

2^2x=8x
2^2(x)=8x
4^x=8x........eqn(1)
2^2x=8x
2^2x=(2^3)x
Divide both sides by 2^3
x=2^(2x-3)........eqn(2)
Substitute 2^2(2x-3) for x in eqn(1)
4^(2^(2x-3))=8(2^(2x-3))
16^(2x-3)=2^3(2^(2x-3))
2^4(2x-3)=2^3(2^(2x-3))
2^4(2x-3)=2^3(2^2x)/2^3
2^4(2x-3)=2^2x
Equate the powers of 2 on both sides
4(2x-3)=2x
8x-12=2x
-12=2x-8x
-12=-6x
x=2

Hi.

Same old Airtel for a long time now.

N3k for 16gb - double data.
To get the best out of it, load the 3k 3 times. That is 1k, 1k, and 1k.
This way, you'd get airtime bonus and about 1.7gb data bonus.

If you load the 3k at once, nothing for you. You'd get the normal 16gb.

After 3 months, I get a new sim because the double data is valid for just 3 months.

How's the jog?
