The life of once Internet sensation, Mr. Spells may have been transformed following his encounter with the General Overseer of Omega Power Ministry, OPM Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, ABN TV reports.

The man of God had recently posted on his social media handle, requesting to meet with Mr. Spell after a video of him emerged on the Internet where he was soliciting for alms.

Mr Spellz once trended on social for his funny way of spelling words.

Grace found him once again when on Friday he arrived at the residence of Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, in Port Harcourt Rivers State.

The cleric was said to have welcomed him wholeheartedly, took him on a shopping spree to get new clothes and shoes.

He also took Mr. Spells to one of the OPM free estates well-furnished apartment with television, fridge, gas cooker, etc and gave him an apartment.

Additionally, the cleric gave him a fully furnished shop where he will be doing business to make a living for himself.

OPM is said to have more than 20 free estates, 18 free schools, 2 free specialist hospitals and more than 2,000 students on scholarship both local and international.

The man of God is said to be financing his charity through the tithes and offerings in OPM Church.

Thank you Apostle Chinyere of OPM. I been saying this. Mr. Spellz needs more of a medical attention than fame. Which business can he do with his condition?

The "Grace" that should found is total healing of whatever that ails him.

Happy New Month to everyone

May Peter Obi win
May these girls never near our dogs
May MNK be released and peace return to the East
May bandits have a change of heart and peace return to the North West
May ISWAP have a change of heart and peace return to North East
May Nigeris succeed

These we ask in the name of (whatever thing you worship).

Amen! Amin! Iseee!

What did we achieve with the closure?

My partner and I are aware of our genotype situation both of us carry AS gene we both have a child together my first daughter who is AS genotype PRAISE THE LORD.

After finding out that I am also AS my partner after the birth of my daughter has told me he didn’t want to continue having children with me and would rather we both raise the child and get new partners. we want to let that connection go and 1 year later currently I’m pregnant with a baby boy who is now carrying the SS gene.

My partner has moved out of house ,, Paid me money to abort the baby and he went to start a new life far from me and the baby. I’m not sure if I should use the money abort the child and start my life or keep the child and pray for Gods forgiveness!!!!

HELPPPP ME

Calabash thought it was playing with the river, it didn't realize that it was being carried away.

Abort that baby and have peace. SS child is no joke.

Blackface always wanting to trend by force.

dboY1123:
I have been on/off from my work(shop) for 2weeks now, I have this new worker who is a Muslim and I am a Christian, of course, I am not against her religion or anything, I still grant her the permission to attend mosque every Friday afternoon and I always try to be at shop by 2pm, or get someone to replace her..

Today I came to shop and the first thing I noticed was that she allowed one Alfa that I know very well, into the shop(she knows it is not allowed), my mind told me they were both reciting the Quran before I came in.

Secondly, she told me that she needs to pray (in the shop) that I should excuse her while I had to leave there and go outside..This has never been happening for 3 months she's been here..

Even myself being a Christian, I pray before coming to shop/work.

I wanted to tell her to stop praying in the shop because it is not a praying ground or mosque, should I go ahead?

I am not against her religion whatsoever, even she reads the Quran quietly in the shop and there's no issue about that.

The earlier you separate business with religion, the better for you.

FUEL JETTISON PROCEDURE (also known as FUEL DUMPING)

I saw video and comments of the Ethiopian airline dumping fuel while making an emergency landing back to MMIA, Lagos. Many Nigerians said it is because the pilot concluded they will crash. Lol. Folks, that is not the reason.

For better understanding about fuel dumping, let's briefly talk about basic Airplane Weights.

1. Dry Operating Weight (DOW) - Weight of the airplane without passengers, cargo, and BLOCK (Trip, Contingency, Alternate, Taxi, Final Reserve) Fuel.

2. Payload = Weight of passengers + Cargo

3. Zero Fuel Weight (ZFW) = DOW + Payload.

4. Take Off Weight (TOW) = ZFW + BLOCK FUEL.

To avoid structural damages to the air frame and landing gear, Landing Weight (LW) must always be less than the TOW, and in order to do this, the pilot must either use his "Trip fuel" or dump the fuel. (Every airplane has Maximum TOW and Maximum LW).

So, when pilots declare an emergency, as is the case of the Ethiopian airline, it means they have to land at the nearest airport to their current position. It also means they will not be using the "TRIP FUEL" again, meaning they MUST dump fuel to reduce the weight of the airplane before landing. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE.

More Landing Weight means more landing speed, increase in the stop margin which may lead to potential runway overrun, and more airport charges. Pilots try to avoid these things.

NOTE: There are calculations to all these, to determine how long the nozzles will be opened and quantity of fuel to be dumped, because you have to put the airplane's Fuel Burn Rate into consideration too.

Planes like Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 are not fitted with the fuel dump nozzle, so in their case, they fly what is known as "HOLDING PATTERN" so that they burn some of the fuel before landing.
(If you are a frequent flyer, you must have noticed a situation where the plane is just circling the airport for minutes before landing. Yes, that is a Holding pattern). Other factors can make a plane to be in "Hold" too (I may talk on this if this post hits front page).

Also there are exceptional cases where pilots land the plane with MLW (not the essence of this post).

So, next time you see those "white stuffs" from a plane's wing tips, it means the pilot is dumping fuel. When it is from the rear of the engines, it is definitely a CONTRAIL (a whole new topic).

So Nigerians, the Ethiopian airline pilot didn't conclude the plane will crash and started dumping fuel grin grin

NOTE: This explanation here is very basic, there is more to it.

IS THERE ANY AVIATION SECTION ON NAIRALAND?

spinna:
Ohh so that's what those cloudy streaks planes emit are.. learnt something new today

Yes.
If you see it at the wings tips, the pilot is dump fuel.

If you see it at the rear of the engines, it is CONTRAIL. (As kids, we often say a "rockets" just passed by).

kingreign:
Highly informative thread lonelydora.

Thanks.

I will do more if they can create an aviation section

mariovito:
Very informative post.

I used to be confused and wonder when I see those white stuffs left behind by airplanes.

Please talk about contrail and chemtrails.

You know I intentionally avoided that "Chemtrail" word. There is a reason I did that.

godofuck231:
It could also be done at emergency take offs , to lighten the climb , though not to completely empty the tank but to calculate enough Aviation fuel for the flight distance and dump excess , this protocol is extremely rare and deadly , a near 90 degrees climb which seems so but about 70 degrees if not carefully done could slide the plane back to a backwards drop to the ground and crash , mostly used by military pilots whereby the life of the president or precious cargo is at stake , what the pilot of the kaduna airport attack could have done this if there was no cargo or passengers on board

Not really as you said it. But them, civil aviation is somehow different from military aviation

Lagos is tiring, honestly

Why all the stress to put that plate number up there, when he could just put it in the right place?

I'm trying to upload that video but I am getting an error message. I don't know why.

God1000:
Oh my state is bleeding again, what have we done wrong that will warrant this brutal and gruesome killings everyday? The carnage must stop, we are peace loving people.

I will forever hold buhari responsible for this senseless wanton destruction of lives and property

You guys fought against Biafra. This is what you have done wrong

They should come to Port Harcourt zoo and see for themselves

Children are smarter than people think.

EHoudini:
At the peak of fuel scarcity my wife befriended a filling station manager- a mallam! She got two full tanks of fuel, one for herself, another for her friend; and 20L for me. I innocently and gladly accepted, in a jerrycan. I didn't even pay, to be honest.

Few days later, when we had a little misunderstanding, she bragged to me that the fuel I've been using to cruise around was given to her by a man like me! Dangerous talks.

Since then, even we settled somewhat she's been receiving strange calls at odd hours.
Few nights ago, I was woken up by her shouts on the phone; that she's a married woman and that the person on the other end should stop calling her! I couldn't help but think and believe it's the manager. As though she didn't know she was married before she swindled the man of his fuel!

With all the aphrodisiacs (buran tashi) these mallams use, her (my wife's) nyansh go don suffer.

There's no free lunch even in Freetown.

Pray for me!

You are a very funny man.

Oga, do the needful now before it is too late

2. Which is best for frying the vegetables, butter or vegetable oil?

If you cook fried rice of this colour for me, I will pour it to your face. This is not the colour of the fried rice I know.

DaniDani:
Too many universities in this country already, why not something else, like industry? Why are Nigerians so much afraid of establishing industries, especially multi national industries?

They left it for Indians and Chinese to establish. They are taking over all the sectors of our economy

StanbicIBTC, I don't know how you guys will pay the said amount, but make sure my #2,300.52k is still intact o.

I mo wan hear story

APC will disintegrate before 2023.

Sanwo-Olu, the pointing governor.

No Lagos governor will match Tinubu's achievement.

This is how an 8 years old boy predicted the first leg of UEFA Champions League Finals.

As seen on Twitter.

The boy is truly a wonder.

You see? Road he refused to construct.

In Igbo they say "mmiri doro na eju, doro nwa nkita"

Just like Buhari will retire to Daura to face the insecurity he refused to fight now.

MedicH:
Sounds like what I'm facing as I get slow movement with high rpm that I can almost hear the engine sound.

I can hear some grinding noise on my wheels when speeding. Then if I throttle hard it hesitates before picking up as expected then it can do upto 100km/hr and more but once I stop to a checkpoint that is to zero km/hr speeding up again seems to be with much labour until after a while it assumes expected speed.

When I'm speeding I hear some sound like shirishirishirishirishrir like where you pour small small metals into a steel container and be shaking it vigorously.

I have p0330 on scan

When I complained to my mech, he said I change all coils plus fuel pump which I did. Then the problem continued. He said I should change tranny oil I didn't let him do that because the level is ok and I have no tranny issue. Then I went to change knuckle and they saw my calipers binding and they fixed it then I checked catalysts for back pressure and saw that bank 1 is clogged, I hollowed it out to relieve back pressure. After all these things I still get the feeling that my car is not efficient like it used to be it just feels slow.

Your wheel bearing is gone, hence the noise. Buy original wheel hub or for temporary measure, buy only bearing and change.
