Enugu Centre makes sense, no delay, immediately we entered they pasted state schedules and started with Abia almost immediately too, the only downside I noticed is there screening height and weight (I'm guessing BMI) coz I'm overweight. Anyway I just wasted money, I'm on my way back to calabar now, to come back on Friday.

CNJJ:
Where exactly is 81 Air Maritime Group in Benin?

It's at airport road, when you get to ring road, enter a cab to airport road, tell the driver you're going to airforce

Hello people, is there really no one going to enugu here?

Jimax:

If they call themselves muslims, let em be, and since they are not in a shari'ah country, then leave the judgement for Allah azza wa jal, every religion has people who in the name of faith commit atrocities, Moreover you slandering them might be committing a greater sin. Of course it's annoying but we have to be tolerant. Allahu aalam
