Your advice is appreciated

I think it's better you sit for another exams (May/June or Nov/Dec). If you clear your papers (or at least make credit in more core subjects), you will stand a better chance of getting admission and even studying a course you have interest in.

Then they should go to court and stop their social media nonsensical ramblings.

Is cyberspace the courts?

I feel for you sha. I never imagined you'd be in this situation after Osun election. I can only imagine the kind of cyber insults, mockery, bullying, humiliation etc you would have been dishing out on PDP members if the election had gone the other way. Chai! I guess it will breed some humility in you and your ilks as we await 2019 election. Now you know that "Buhari's victory" is far from being a certainty like you guys had been insisting. The quietness of Sarrki, deomelo, NgeneUkwenu, CilicMarin and other BMC members is a big delight to me. I pray you guys will be silenced like this after 2019 election, AMEN!!!

Opharhe:
I love your stance. Well presented, but you see, in as much as I don't believe Wike is working for Buhari, It's not impossible he has Presidential ambitions but his ambition is not a problem to me. The closeness between Wike and Tambuwal and how influential Wike is right now with the Secondus factor, gives room for suspicion.

The Primaries can be moved to Enugu, Uyo or any other suitable place outside PH if you ask me if not for anything, to remove the suspicion on the minds of some presidential aspirants.

It's not been too long since Wike aided Ali-Modu Sherrif's emergence as PDP chairman, nearly wrecking the party. I'm a Niger-Deltan and sympathetic for the PDP but personally, I've lost trust in Wike as it concerns important political decisions.

Wike cannot rule Nigeria. I'm pro-PDP but I don't fancy Wike one bit. He doesn't have that presidential charisma at all. I just hope he doesn't let his ambition destroy PDP.

modath:
"Unreasonable" i knew there is/was a catch...

modath:
We are being civil today? What's the "catch"?

There's no catch, ma.
Of course, we're mostly civil just that you guys like being unreasonable often times, and you know how irritating that can be.

modath:
The problem with most of the PDP Social media fanatics is the refusal to face reality & seperate emotions from facts... I don't need Deji Adeyanju to tell me Wike has 2023 ambition, he knows 2019 is done & dusted but they still have to put a show on for their gullible fanbase to think they have a hope in hell..

Wike hasn't been funding comatose PDP, Installed a stooge chairman , causing ruckus & opening up the presidential ticket (guaranteed to cause disharmony & strife) to all sundry with no ulterior motives.

Soon all go clear for dem eyes... na like belle, e must bring out wetin dey hidden.


Corinthians , you still want to argue?

Don't worry, South South cannot produce the next southern president of Nigeria. It's even more likely to be South West than South South.

Before Sunday, some of you didn't believe PDP could even come 2nd in Osun. Sarrki promised never to comment on Social media again if PDP won. Don't be too sure of what will happen in 2019.

I will rather have Buhari voted out in 2019. With that, it will be clear to all Nigerians that 2nd term presidency is no longer a guarantee. Subsequent presidents will start becoming serious.
You like Buhari, but I am sure you can never hire someone like him to run a business of yours. Why do you want him to keep running Nigeria? Does it seem to you like he has any new thing to offer in a second tenure, if his performance in the first was this abysmal?

candygist:
Yes we know. But still give him some accolade. Many other government would have taking all those loans and revenue without giving back to the state . Look at a state like delta for example . With the kind of allocation delta state get, you can't find one meaningful project from delta state government .

Delta is just a hopeless state. Imagine that a state like Ebonyi doesn't earn up to a quarter of what Delta earns, but there are more government projects in Ebonyi than Delta. Delta and Bayelsa are 2 Niger Delta states that have nothing to show for the huge allocation they receive.

candygist:
During akpabio time I can boastfully tell you that akwa ibome was the best state in south south. Akpabio made IBOM a London in Nigeria

Do you know how much Akpabio's government got during the years, especially when you remember the states then shared excess crude savings? Do you also know Akwa Ibom is one of the most indebted states today because of the numerous loans Akpabio took?
You should understand that many states now are struggling to pay salaries and still stay afloat. The state of things in Akwa Ibom now cannot be as it was during the reign of Akpabio, if we're to be sincere to ourselves.

K0y3:
This same nigeria's foremost rule of law gives the election empire(inec) to set and apply its rules and guidelines to ascertain if the candidate as been DULY returned as the winner. So u don't accept and reject one. Just like in bodmas, division is of the highest order of the mathematical operations but this same law also says bracket before division not minding if it is subtraction which is of the lowest order in the bracket. Do you understand?

No wahala

kahal29:
This is exactly what Olanikpekun argued in the case above and the Supreme Court disagreed with him. Pls read and understand

It's alright. Law practice is a very complex discipline, and judgements are often subjective not always objective. The same case may be seen from different angles (with different possible outcomes) by lawyers of the same status in the same circumstances.
Even that Kogi judgement might have been different if Faleke was both Tinubu and Buhari's candidate. We all know Bello was (and still is) Buhari and Aisha's boy, and many people felt he won that case cos both Buhari and the northern cabals were on his side. Maybe that's why he worships Buhari more than any other APC governor. Anyway, that's not important anymore.

Butterflyleo:
I encourage everyone to read the submission from the OP. It would help you in life. If not now, it would do so later.

The law is clear and the supreme court has already taken a stand on this issue of inec and powers given to her. PDP just wish to whip up sentiments in the face of the truth.

I remember when PMB said the Nations security comes first above rule of law many wanted to hang him for that truthful statement but today the same people who cried foul are the ones saying we should discard the rule of law because PDP was leading in the final results when there was no legal reason to declare Adeleke the winner in the face of the realities on ground.

PDP are serious hypocrites.

PDP knows they cannot win Osun and that's fact

Oga, are you alright? PDP is saying that based on the constitution (which is Nigeria's foremost rule of law), Adeleke should be declared winner, and you're saying they want the rule of law to be discarded? Electoral acts are not laws otherwise they would have been incorporated in the constitution, while on the contrary, the constitution is the body of laws governing administration in Nigeria. If there is a seeming contradiction between what the constitution says and what an act says, the constitution should be applied. That's the logic PDP is throwing up.
Think well before you comment.

Just an harmless joke though

Where was it stated d man is Igbo?

wirinet:
Do you want me to chronicle the many times PDP had organised sham elections in Nigeria, especially under Maurice Iwu? If it was PDP of old, we would not even be talking of a rerun in a few wards.

Under PDP votes were simply allocated to candidates with the results announced in Abuja even before collation at the collation centres.

Under APC rigging has been reduced to buying of votes and tearing of results sheets in a couple of wards.

PDP organised elections that was criticised by all international observers.

But I thought Jonathan corrected all those anomalies? Why are you still referring to the errors of the past that were already dead and buried before Buhari came into power?

Aregbesola was a terrible disaster as a governor, let all those clowns who were here defending him learn that too

PDP offering Omisore, Adeleke's senate seat.

APC using the federal might to entice Omisore with a ministerial slot (FAYEMI's vacant seat)

CHESS MOVE 3 ("Mating Attack" ) :
Omisore activates sitdown de look mode. He's the boogeyman and the same time the beautiful bride.

Oga, Fayemi is Ekiti State. This is Osun State.

Which party is popular in these areas?

vedaxcool:
put pigdiots are very stupid people, so you mean with all their wailing and propaganda they couldn't outclass APC in a state where salary payment is an issue? This isn't rejection of APC, it was a neck and neck contest.

In a state in which APC enjoys power of incumbency both at the state and FG level, yet they could 'lose' based on the number of valid votes, it's a big shame. Go and hide ur head in shame.

Wiseandtrue:
Are you saying that nothing can be done to curb it

I recall that few years back, Lagos State experienced a similar experience and he (Fashola) managed it well

Drainage and planting of trees might not be the lasting solution but it will definitely help!!!

It's almost like asking if building drainages will help deal with the flooding resulting from the hurricanes of the Caribbeans and the US or the cyclones of South East Asia. Mba nụ! Rivers Niger and Benue overflow their banks and the water level rises some metres above the normal level. When that happens, wide expanses of land within the river basins get flooded.

Butterflyleo:
Can you just stop your dumb wailing and reason from your head and not from your left butt cheek.

Revenue of course would include profit but profit isn't my focus in my write up because for such a project of this magnitude, profit would not come immediately, it would take a few years of consistent revenue for that to happen.

Its like someone who buys a block of 6 flats at 100million naira when each flat rents for 800k a year. Even if he collects the rent from all 6 flats he would not make profit until after 20 years.

This is why I am not focused on profit but on revenue as that would eventually result in profit.

Mumu wailer.

I can bet you have never run a proper business in your life based on this comment of yours

Dumbo!!!

IATA tells you that African Airlines run at a loss and you're taking of stupid revenue. Can you even think at all? They run at a loss means that they spend more in running the business every year than the gain they make. We're not even talking about initial capital now. The cost of maintenance of the aircrafts, fuelling, payment for using hangars, salaries of the crew and all other expenses including replacing old and unusable crafts etc outweigh the total revenue some airlines make per year. Over time, many go bankrupt.
What nonsense are you yarning?
Nigeria is just recovering from recession, and you want the government to pump money into something that will drain our earnings the more. Are you okay?

Useless analogy up there. You have conveniently chosen to forget that even while collecting rent, the house still belongs to the buyer/owner, so even the rent is already profit. He can sell the house any time and recover the money spent in building it, while all the rent collected so far would have been gains. ZOMBIE!!!

Butterflyleo:
I am focused on revenue! Where in my comment which you mentioned did I mention profit?

Dumb wailer

You're still very dumb in your responses. Can't you think? Oga, revenue means income. It's not the same as profit. It's when you've removed expenditures from your revenue that you can determine if you made a profit. Talking about revenue without mentioning expenditures is rubbish.
So if I spend 1 billion naira annually in running a business, and I make a revenue of 500 million, I will be celebrating that I am making half a billion naira revenue, therefore I am doing well?
Nobody does a business because of just the revenue. It's because of profit that people do businesses.
Can you just drop your cloak of zombeism for once and use your brain?

Butterflyleo:
Wailer who knows nothing.

You truly wail before thinking.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/278372/revenue-of-commercial-airlines-worldwide/

You're truly a zombie.
Do you know the difference between revenue and net profit? Do you know that the cost of running airlines is humongous, such that even if you realise ₦1bn, there will be very little profit?

I showed you an article with statistics from IATA showing that globally, airlines will make a profit of about $38bn in 2018, but Africa specifically will make a loss of about $100million. What it means is that many African airlines will be run at a loss.

The major gains in air travel is made in countries where people can easily afford to fly. In the UK for example, flying from Glasgow to London (Stansted Airport or Luton Airport) can be as low as £50 - 100 (return ticket). Anybody can make that amount in one or 2 days (including the least paid workers), so anybody can fly in the UK. Same with other developed countries. In Nigeria, an average return ticket from Abuja to Lagos is probably about ₦40k or more. That's two months salary of someone earning the minimum wage. How many Nigerians can afford to spend between half to 2 months of the salaries on air travel, which in developed countries will cost people less than 3 days wages?
This is part of the reasons why so many private airlines (and not only Nigerian Airways) have folded up in the past 30 years.

Butterflyleo:
Wailer who has so many flying out to other countries and returning aboard other airlines daily from Nigeria with the income going to the countries who own those airlines and is still asking me how many Nigerians can afford airflight. Wailers have been known to talk before they think .

Global airline income for 2018 is already at $834 billion and you think people are not flying especially from THE LARGEST AND MOST POPULOUS BLACK NATION IN THE WORLD?

$834billion income so far from airline flights in 2018 and the year hasn't ended yet. Nigeria should be making nothing less than $30billion a year from that sum as her share if we get it right.

You guys really don't think do you?

Wailing senselessly has always been your trademark.

PDP met our national carrier in 1999 when obasanjo came into power. By 2003 they had liquidated it under same PDP and her lootocracy ways.

You know nothing, and you're not aware. That's why you're truly a zombie.

Now educate yourself with this piece.

Africa's airlines to incur $100 million loss in 2018 – IATA

by defenceWeb, December 5, 1:30 pm

Cape Town International airport. Africa's airlines are expected to continue making a combined loss of $100 million in 2018, the same as 2017, in spite of an anticipated 8% growth in demand and capacity expansion of 7.5%.

Click here
This is according to the International Air Transport Association's (IATA's) 2018 global airline industry forecast which was presented by IATA's Director-General and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac, in Geneva, Switzerland on 5 December.

The forecast says the slow pace of wider economic improvement in Africa is hampering the financial performance of the continent's airlines. Nigeria is only just out of recession and growth in South Africa remains extremely weak. As a result, although traffic is growing, the passenger load factors (i.e. the measure of utilised capacity) are just over 70%. This is more than 10% lower than the global industry average.

The combination of low utilisation and high fixed costs make it difficult for airlines to make a profit, IATA says. Stronger economic growth will help in 2018, but Africa's governments need to make a concerted effort to free up intra-African access to their markets as the increased connectivity will stimulate wider economic growth.

Globally, IATA expects global industry net profit to rise to $38.4 billion in 2018, an improvement from the $34.5 billion expected net profit in 2017 (revised from a $31.4 billion forecast in June).

2018 is expected to be the fourth consecutive year of sustainable global airline profits with a return on invested capital (9.4%) exceeding the industry's average cost of capital (7.4%).

"These are good times for the global air transport industry. Safety performance is solid. We have a clear strategy that is delivering results on environmental performance. More people than ever are travelling. The demand for air cargo is at its strongest level in over a decade. Employment is growing. More routes are being opened. Airlines are achieving sustainable levels of profitability. It's still, however, a tough business, and we are being challenged on the cost front by rising fuel, labour and infrastructure expenses," said de Juniac.

"The industry also faces longer-term challenges. Many of them are in the hands of governments. Aviation is the business of freedom and a catalyst for growth and development. To continue to deliver on our full potential, governments need to raise their game-implementing global standards on security, finding a reasonable level of taxation, delivering smarter regulation and building the cost-efficient infrastructure to accommodate growing demand. The benefits of aviation are compelling-2.7 million direct jobs and critical support for 3.5% of global economic activity. And the industry is ready to partner with governments to reinforce the foundations for global connectivity that are vital to modern life," said de Juniac.

In 2018, passenger numbers are expected to increase to 4.3 billion. Passenger traffic (revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) is expected to rise 6.0% (slightly down on the 7.5% growth of 2017 but still ahead of the average of the past 10-20 years of 5.5%), which will exceed a capacity expansion (available seat kilometers or ASKs) of 5.7%.

This will push up the average load factor to a record 81.4%, helping to drive a 3.0% improvement in yields. Revenues from the passenger business are expected to grow to $581 billion (+9.2% on $532 billion in 2017). Strong performance of the passenger business is supported by expected robust GDP growth of 3.1% (the strongest since 2010).

The biggest challenge to profitability in 2018 is rising costs, IATA cautions. Oil prices are expected to average $60/barrel for Brent Crude in 2018 (up 10.7% from $54.2/barrel in 2017). Labour costs have been accelerating strongly and are now a larger expense item than fuel (30.9% in 2018).

All regions are expected to report improved profitability in 2018 and all regions are expected to see demand growth outpace capacity expansion. Carriers in North America continue to lead on financial performance, accounting for nearly half of the industry's total profits.

Economic Impact of Aviation

IATA notes that since 1996 the inflation-adjusted cost of air transport to consumers has halved and that international tourists travelling by air are expected to spend more than $750 billion in 2018, a rise of 15% in just over 2 years.

The value of goods carried by airlines is expected to exceed $6.2 trillion in 2018, representing 7.4% of world GDP.

Direct employment by airlines will exceed 2.7 million worldwide in 2018. On average across the world IATA forecast that in 2018 each airline employee will generate over $109,000 of gross value added (the firm-level equivalent to GDP), which is considerably higher than the economy-wide average.

The same Osun State that is so indebted that it will soon be put for sale on OLX? Guy, you should be ashamed of yourself.

A serving minister shouldn't take up such appointments. You can be sure that his ministry assignment will be suspended throughout this campaign. That's a whole 5 months to election.

Madam, this has nothing to do with drainage. This is River Niger overflowing it's banks. NEMA gave a warning few weeks ago regarding the states in the Niger and Benue basin experiencing flood soon.
