BREAKING! Court Ruling Stops Obiano Campaign

A Federal High Court Abuja has delivered a ruling to serve Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state through substituted means in a prayer to ask him to stop parading himself as the governorship candidate for the All Progressive Grand Alliance in November 18th gubernatorial election.

Several other prayers were equally granted, See Today’s SUN newspaper page 30 for more details..or see link

With the election boycott in Kenya, IPOB boycott may receive more support, giving rooms for rigging and manipulation of the election.

Gathering of witches, after flying in with their brooms. Anambra don't need a thug governor.

DaInferno:
Nice, but flying without engine!?!

Lots of shits happen when flying that if we knew, Will scare the hell outta us

lanes have changed a lot since the days of the Wright Brothers (or, perhaps more accurately, Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos). Those first wood-and-cloth contraptions are an entirely different species than the sleek Boeing Dreamliners of today.
With the continual advancements in aerospace technology, it's hard to keep up with all the amazing things planes today are capable of doing (and withstanding). Below, 11 things you didn’t know about airplanes and air travel.
Airplanes are designed to withstand lightning strikes
Planes are designed to be struck by lightning—and they regularly are hit. It’s estimated lightning strikes each aircraft once a year—or once per every 1,000 hours of flight time. Yet, lighting hasn’t brought down a plane since 1963, due to careful engineering that lets the electric charge of a lightning bolt run through the plane and out of it, typically without causing damage to the plane.
There is no safest seat on the plane

The FAA says there is no safest seat on the plane, though a TIME study of plane accidents found that the middle seats in the back of the plane had the lowest fatality rate in a crash. Their research revealed that, during plane crashes, “the seats in the back third of the aircraft had a 32 percent fatality rate, compared with 39 percent in the middle third and 38 percent in the front third.”
However, there are so many variables at play that it’s impossible to know where to sit to survive a crash. Oh, and plane crashes are incredibly rare.
Some airplanes have secret bedrooms for flight crew
On long-haul flights, cabin crew can work 16-hour days. To help combat fatigue, some planes, like the Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliners, are outfitted with tiny bedrooms where the flight crew can get a little shut-eye. The bedrooms are typically accessed via a hidden staircase that leads up to a small, low-ceilinged room with 6 to 10 beds, a bathroom, and sometimes in-flight entertainment.
The tires are designed not to pop on landing
The tires on an airplane are designed to withstand incredible weight loads (38 tons!) and can hit the ground at 170 miles per hour more than 500 times before ever needing to get a retread. Additionally, airplane tires are inflated to 200 psi, which is about six times the pressure used in a car tire. If an airplane does need new tires, ground crew simply jack up the plane like you would a car.
Why cabin crew dims the light when a plane is landing
When a plane lands at night, cabin crews will dim the interior lights. Why? In the unlikely event that the plane landing goes badly and passengers need to evacuate, their eyes will already be adjusted to the darkness. As pilot Chris Cooke explained to T+L: “Imagine being in an unfamiliar bright room filled with obstacles when someone turns off the lights and asks you to exit quickly.”
Similarly, flight attendants have passengers raise their window shades during landing, so they can see outside in an emergency and assess if one side of the plane is better for an evacuation.
You don’t need both engines to fly
The idea of an engine giving out mid-flight sounds frightening, but every commercial airplane can safely fly with just one engine. Operating with half the engine power can make a plane less fuel-efficient and may reduce its range, but planes are designed and tested for such situations, as Popular Mechanicsreported. Any plane scheduled on a long-distance route, especially those that fly over oceans or through uninhabited areas like the Arctic, must be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Extended-range Twin Operations (ETOPS), which is basically how long it can fly with one engine. The Boeing Dreamliner is certified for ETOPS-330, which means it can fly for 330 minutes (that’s five and a half hours) with just one engine.
In fact, most airplanes can fly for a surprisingly long distance with no engine at all, thanks to something called glide ratio. Due to careful aeronautical engineering, a Boeing 747 can glide for two miles for every 1,000 feet they are above the ground, which is usually more than enough time to get everyone safely to the ground.
Why there are ashtrays in the bathrooms
The FAA banned smoking on planes years ago, but eagle-eyed passengers know that airplane lavatories still have ashtrays in them. As Business Insiderreported, the reason is that airlines—and the people who design planes—figure that despite the no-smoking policy and myriad no-smoking signs prominently posted on the plane, at some point a smoker will decide to light up a cigarette on the plane. The hope is that if someone violates the smoking policy, they will do so in the relatively confined space of the bathroom and dispose of the cigarette butt in a safe place—the ashtray, not a trash can where it could theoretically cause a fire. If you do smoke in the bathroom, expect a massive fine.
What that tiny hole in the airplane window does
It’s to regulate cabin pressure. Most airplane windows are made up of three panels of acrylic. The exterior window works as you would expect—keeping the elements out and maintaining cabin pressure. In the unlikely event that something happens to the exterior pane, the second pane acts as a fail-safe option. The tiny hole in the interior window is there to regulate air pressure so the middle pane remains intact and uncompromised until it is called into duty.
Why airplane food taste so bad
Airplane food has a bad reputation, but the food itself isn’t entirely to blame—the real fault lies with the plane. A 2015 Cornell University study, reported by Time, found that the environment inside an airplane actually alters the way food and drink tastes—sweet items tasted less sweet, while salty flavors were heightened. The dry recycled air inside the plane cabin doesn’t help either as low humidity can further dull taste and smell making everything in a plane seem bland. According to a 2010 study from the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics in Germany, it’s about 30 percent more difficult to detect sweet and salty tastes when you’re up in the air. Next time you fly, skip the meal, and maybe try a glass of tomato juice instead.
About those oxygen masks
The safety instructions on most flight include how to use the oxygen masks that are deployed when the plane experiences a sudden loss in cabin pressure. However, one that thing that the flight attendants don’t tell you is that oxygen masks only have about 15-minutes worth of oxygen. That sounds like a frighteningly short amount of time, but in reality that should be more than sufficient. Remember, oxygen masks drop when the airplane cabin loses pressure, which means the plane is also losing altitude. According to Gizmodo, a pilot will respond to that situation by donning an oxygen mask and moving the plane to an altitude below 10,000 feet, where passengers can simply breathe normally, no extra oxygen required. That rapid descent usually takes way less than 15 minutes, meaning those oxygen masks have more than enough air to protect passengers.
Why planes leave trails in the sky
Those white lines that planes leave in the sky are simply trails of condensation, hence their technical name of “contrails.” Plane engines release water vapor as part of the combustion process. When that hot water vapor is pumped out of the exhaust and hits the cooler air of the upper atmosphere, it creates those puffy white lines in the sky. It’s basically the same reaction as when you see your breath when it’s cold outside.

LOkOJA - AJAOKUTA- ANKPA Road leading to the South East. Ignored strategically. This government and hypocrisy is like 5 & 6.

This reporter go school so? Watch out, a very dirty story is about to come up from Sahara Reporters. Those in the story are the ones writing this trash!

safarigirl:
This AGT that always has white winners. Preferably the little, blonde girls.

Not one non-white winner, tomorrow they will say America is for all

America is still better than Nigeria where all are blacks, but equality is their way of life.

In Kukasheka Voice. The Army is on top of the situation. We are studying the video to ascertain if its genuine. Until they purge the military of corruption, the insurgency will not stop.

Granted it's a crime, when did it become EFCC's duty to arrest oil thieves? Where is Civil Defense, JTF, Police etc. Funny country, tomorrow don't be surprised Road Safety or NDLEA will arrest oil bunkers

baralatie:
you still don't know

Maybe you have info about Shekau or You are Shekau yourself.

baralatie:
you don't know what you are talking about

Maybe you should ask Americans if you can read this:

DickDastardLION:
It's all scam ... that's who we are. Even the word Nigeria is forged

All the money is resting in someones account.

Forty days ago, the head of Nigeria’s military issued his soldiers an ultimatum: Bring me Abubakar Shekau, the head of Boko Haram, dead or alive.

A lot has changed over the course of the manhunt. Among other developments, Nigeria’s long-absent leader, President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally returned to the country after three months abroad on sick leave. And the Nigerian military has secured the $593 million purchase of 12 U.S. attack helicopters and weapons, ending a yearslong saga.

But one thing that remains the same is the threat posed by Boko Haram, which carries on blowing up Nigerian citizens on a near-daily basis, and the status of Shekau, who continues to direct attacks from the shadows, according to experts.

See what Buhari has caused. If he didn't arrest Nnamdi Kanu, all these nonsense won't be happening. They have failed to provide education. These guys have been promised top position and salary in an imaginary Biafra Army. If they have serious jobs, they won't line up in black outfits like undertakers in a burial ceremony rehearsing this comedy.

rheether:
If it's Nigeria they will ask us to start praying to God for help

If it is Nigeria, lie Mohammed will tell us that he met North Korea leader, that the threat is over. After the blast they will set up committee to look at the immediate and remote cause of the attack.

Delegation to do what now with all these SUVs?

Power Distance
This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.

Nigeria scores high on this dimension (score of 80) which means that people accept a hierarchical order in which everybody has a place and which needs no further justification. Hierarchy in an organization is seen as reflecting inherent inequalities, centralization is popular, subordinates expect to be told what to do and the ideal boss is a benevolent autocrat

fake news!

Make video? You're obviously one those demonic enemies of men pummelling ordinary people in Nigeria. You and your cronies stole the funds for the power I should have used to charge my video camera, fuel is sold for N145 per litre, I have not eaten since yesterday, and you want me to sing? Because you rate me lower than an animal you want to give me a paltry N100k from the billions you stole for taking all the trouble to shoot a video. Singing, shooting and editing? How much do you give your olosho chick for your one minute shag with your limp peenis ? Abeg bros, keep your blood money. As you can see, you are on lone lane on this. Nigeria is a fraud. Gba be.

If Buhari, were to be from Southern Nigeria, both North and South coalition would have forced him to resign. But there is this unexplained thing about this man that makes many to just watch him do anything. We are all cowards in this country. Including me. How long are we going to remain in comatose like this?

I've seen this guy's with my very two eyes, he hops on one leg around their village, I thought of drawing media attention to him, but our media are more interested in what politicians are up to. Glad this is happening.

Source? Or adonblivit.

Military coup loading. All the anarchy are phantom menace

Long arm of the law catching up to him. He is a disgrace to his grandpa's legacy.

I Don blow that babe givam 2k for transport. Let the puppy waste money, after all, we can't verify the source.

Off course so that he will continue to plant stooges that will help him loot and impoverish helpless Edo people. Osho olosho idiot.

In 97% order, the rest of the country should wait till 2023

NIGERIA ARMY AND THEIR HIGHHANDEDNESS IS INFECTIOUS.
