Hmm

It must have been real chaos at their various offices globally...you don't want to be a relevant staff of theirs on days like this

The first time travelling by air for most people can be thrilling, scarry or exciting for different people.

Firstly, It depends on your person really; is the person lilly-livered, scared of heights, etc

Secondly, it depends on the weather during the flight...my friend, you don't want to fly through a stormy weather ...the turbulence atimes makes you say your final prayers, while remembering all you have left undone, and the beautiful people you will leave behind.

Finally, if it is an international flight, and you happen to hit the jackpot of getting a visa to a developed country, at this point in time in Nigeria's history, no matter the turbulence, your heart will be radiating with joy

Just as your heart desire, Canada is on the card for you bro

This is an update to the previous thread here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6783357/traveling-air-first-time/7#106420545

So i boarded my plane this morning and i can say it was a great experience thanks to all your contributions and tips. Lemme start like this, I woke up so early as my flight was at 8:25 since it's my first time i needed to play safe to avoid stories that touch i didn't give my village people a chance in that aspect.

I arrived at the airport few minutes to 7 and by 7:10 i was done checking in and ready for boarding (I didn't expect it to be so fast and smooth tho)

That was how i started pressing my phone and carefully paying attention to the announcements that one could barely hear. (I think airports need to do better as some of us no dey understand that kind accents) They can just past the announcement on a screen for people to read, anyways what do i know? maybe people have not missed flight as a result of that.

Ehen so while waiting, i was just observing everything, i saw one bros seated behind me so i walked up to him and confessed. "Bros no vex, na my first flight bdis, abeg if dem announce air peace flight to lagos just let me know" he smiled and said i shouldn't worry. Few minutes later i heard the announcement naso i pack my things go join queue, kudos to air peace (unlike the other announcements i heard, they used one local accent to announce before the normal posh accent repeated the announcement so it was easy for me to know it's time to board.

They did the normal thing and i was inside the plane naso i just dey look like village boy. i followed the suggestion by some good NLanders and watched how to fasten a plane seat belt so it was not an issue, i no disgrace my ancestors. except for the air hostess that was rude when i asked her for my seat everything went fine, i was so calm and composed like i've done this before. The plane took off and few minutes later we're flying above the clouds i was just smiling all through then i felt a sharp pain in my left ear, boom i no dey hear well again. then i remembered i was told here, i just swallowed saliva and i'd regain my hearing, it continued through out the flight. some of the things i noticed through the flight was:

Majority of land, like 70 percent is uninhabited, i saw my knowledge of geography come into play as we ascend into the sky, i could easily identify all the different layers like atmosphere, lithosphere and the rest it was like we're traveling to space, asin after all science no dey lie oo but above all God is the greatest. My experience helped me to believe God more, like he created all these things, he has the power to do anything so why even doubt him.

At some point during the flight, the plane was vibrating and turning anyhow lol but i didnt panic because i remembered nairalanders told me about it, i was seated by the window and stayed awake all through. Like 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot said "for those of you sitting by the right if you look by the window we are just flying over ibadan" naso i look and was like, oga i no see ibadan here ooo na just thick cloud i see.
That was how i landed in lagos around 10am and the weather was looking like 4pm nawao. i enjoyed my flight sha and i hope to do this again, but next time it should be canada not lagos.

Wahala nor dey finish...so just when we are still praying that global warming doesn't finish off the earth in another 20-50 years, boom!!!... these guys drops another bombshell, "the moon is leaving us". Well, by then, all those who really matter to us will be gone.

There seem not to be any good news anywhere these days...Wild fires, earthquakes, volcano, etc Wondering what the future really holds for the human race.

May God help the people of this world.

What a smart move...but wait o....Why Tambuwal nor vote?

I will shocked if this case is won by the States....no be the same judiciary wey FG don hold for jugular?

Time will tell sha

I pray it happens so that Ogun State Governor and future ones can stop having flimsy excuses for wicked neglect of the deplorable state of roads in the Ota/Agbara axis in particular.

Osinbajo explaining to Buhari that No naked-ness in Ultimate Search

But on a more serious note...Nigerian youths are kinda too docile and timid for my liking...it all starts and ends on Social Media.

EndSars was suppose to be the end of these oppressors...while some chickened out, some were bought.

But like I always say, I pray the North does wuruwuru and retain power come 2023..all we will need as youth then will be the backing of the political elite in the South....When the political scene becomes tensed post 2023, and the political elite from both divide are aiming for eachother jugular, we seize the occasion to do the needful

Seriously, Nigeria needs to be rescued asap...if it can't, make everyone bear in baba name...1 EURO to naira 640

The moment Buhari is told BB9JA is about to finish and Nigeria youths will drag him for Twitter banned, dollars increase, Bandits and Kidnapping

Tragedy happens everywhere in the world. But if this was Nigeria, Buhari and FG will take 95% of the blame. God protect us.

But the ones for Buhari regime nah bumper to bumper

Train wey man dey enter at least 4 times daily with mad speed...I can't say the thought hasn't crossed my mind...make Baba God just to protect man ni.

Him health nor kuku concern me...but the future of Southern Nigeria and Nigeria at large

If he likes, he should play kite with his life...I don't personally care...but make him nor use him greed spoil Southern Nigeria's chance

Hmm...how some ladies tend to enjoy or endure the company of an abusive partner is beyond me. They will see gentle guys, but they would rather go for violent guys for reasons best known to them.

Every relationship that ends tragically had red flags which the victim ignored with the foolish hope of the oppressor changing.

Hmm...While I highly doubt Jagaban will run for Presidency come 2023, one can't rule out the power of greed in our politicians...what now remains to be seen is how he will be able to cope with the rigours of the Presidential campaigns and rallies.

While it is almost obvious that PDP will be fielding a Northern... God forbid, say the rigours of the rallies get to Tinubu, and his body acts up on national telly, he might just ruin the Southern hope... another scenario is Tinubu winning it, and this same old age catches up with him in Aso Rock, then the North takes over again.

So it is in the best interest of the entire South to field a candidate who is healthy, have age on his side, and has a track record in good governance.

Well done ooo Mathematician

Thanks

Hmm

The thing just tire me...just coughed out 100k plus for a Primary 4 pupil....a massive jump from the 60k I paid at the beginning of last session.

33 text books!!! I am still shocked

Well sha, nah because of pikin man dey hustle double!!!

Until we have a govt that prioritises education, these private schools will keep fleecing us of our hard-earned money.

This team needs Florence Omagbemi or Uche Eucharia to bring back its lost glory...not all these branch come chop clean mouth oyinbos

But no be wetin the husband nor want make she wear comot nah hin she don even show the entire world so...

When Nigerians don't even check tyres' expiry dates...even oyinbos dem wey get better roads with 27 inches thickness and frequent maintenance always do away with expired tyres, and maintain speed limits....while we Nigerians with tattered roads dey put our lives for Baba God hand, while driving recklessly on a 2 to 5 years beyond expiry date tyres....Heaven help those who help themselves

Aisha Buhari Cup: Super Falcons, Bayana Bayana set for final day battle

How ABC winner will emerge
On the opening day of the tournament on Wednesday, the Super Falcons defeated the Female Eagles of Mali 2-0 with both goals scored by substitute Gift Monday late in the second half.

Banyana Banyana were truly dominant and impressive in their 3-0 demolition of Ghana’s Black Queens on Friday.


A total of eight goals have now been scored in the tournament with Nigeria’s Gift Monday the highest goal scorer with two goals.


All the participating teams will play just two matches each with the team with the highest points tally emerging as the champions.

With just one more game to go between Nigeria and South Africa; Cameroon already finished at the bottom of the six-team table, having lost their two games without scoring.



Mali also failed to score in their two games but they have a point to their name having held Morocco so they finish in the fifth position.

Ghana lost their first game against South Africa but won their second against Cameroon to finish with three points while Morocco are on four points after a win and draw.

Both teams will know their final placing after Tuesday’s match between Nigeria and South Africa.


Results


September 15: Nigeria 2-0 Mali
September 16: Cameroon 0-1 Morocco
September 17: South Africa 3-0 Ghana
September 19: Morocco 0-0 Mali

Hmm...


So if it ends in a draw, South Africa wins the trophy �, by the virtue of the 3 goals scored against Nigeria's 2....or it will go down to penalty shootout?

Hmm

Depending on the location in Nigeria.

70-100k

And of course, with life insurance...if you know, you know

Okay...I hear you...but you can take my rating of the the King of Boys to the bank sha

They never see chumtin

This is just the beginning...until either of the two factions get rid of the other...there can never be peace....and again....it seems a faction is kinda leaning towards liberal kinda Islam to fit the current reality on ground in Afghanistan...but the other faction is hell bent on taking the country back to the stone age.

But chai...US really screwed up!!!

Plus everything everyone has mentioned here, try include driving...make sure you know how to drive and go with your Nigerian drivers license because some countries recognise it and help change it to theirs without the rigours of going to a driving school and exams.

It is very very important...extremely important...nah life saver the thing be...especially b4 you get that dream job

All these points nah just to catch cruise for most ladies in this category....the one and only thing that would make an average naija babe stick with you till the very end nah deep pockets or a very obvious potential to excel, not an obscure potential o


Who dreads epp ojare

King of Boys nah top notch series sha...I enjoyed every bit of it... I didn't want it to end...you should go watch it.

Big-up to the entire crew...I am proud of their work

Never will I fight a man who sleeps with my woman...I have got no issue with him...but the hoe who spreads herself to be screwed by another man.

Never will I be jailed because of some else's promiscuity or my anger in reaction to it. Never!
