Cos Ubuntu Os is hard to get off on systems

...n that same Ubuntu gave so many people the opportunity to know what a computer is . UBUNTU is a Southern African word that became so popular and anglocized as a result of it's frequent usage by Nelson Mandela...it means, I'm what I'm because of who we all are. In other words, our art of kindness towards each other goes a long way in putting us in the position we are in right now and in the future. For example, Linux released the ubuntu software for free so that, those who couldn't have used a computer because of the cost implications at that time, would be able to use one...that's an act of humanity and that's UBUNTU

I just did it again boss

Walspring:
Boss I didn't see it just resend it again

Thanks alot bro...will be using an airplane

slimmy2005:

Like I told Samuel, US is very vast. From Staten Island, NY to Buffalo, NY took me 5hrs driving at 100 mph consistently. If I should drive at 65 mph speed limit, I would spend 6.5 hrs. Transversing TX from east to west is about 12 hrs by bus. NY to TX is like driving from Morrocco to like Namibia with lot of hours spent on stopovers.

Referencing map doesn't always give you the true picture of the unending journey ahead. Apart from the huge amount of time you would spend on the road trip, it's usually a little cheaper than flying. It isn't worth the stress. So I would advice you to start looking for a connecting flight immediately. It isn't pay to fly from Nigeria to NY (about 18-23 hrs), then start Israelites road trooping from northeast to South/West. Next time, flying directly to TX can save you lots in term of energy.

Ask Samuel how he paid for his connecting flight.

Someone tried booking American Airline for me for 274$ yesterday here in Naija with Ecobank's card, payment was declined but this evening, a staff of the airline called asking if he shd go ahead and issue the ticket and we said yes...and the guy said he was sending the ticket via email, which we are still expecting. Meanehile, no payment done yet shocked. Is that possible?

SAMUELS3:
Don't even try to book a bus from NYC to dallas, because it's going to a very long journey about 55hrs when I checked www.wanderu.com e bus price self is close to flight price. It is better you book a connecting flight from NY. My uncle in dallas booked for me (between $150-$200). I intend to visit for some days before moving to Manchester.

Thanks boss. Appreciate this. flight is the best option for me.

Very true...had to rethink. working on booking a flight but still having challenge with the payment. Thanks ma

LagosismyHome:
Newyork to Dallas too far by bus and especially not in this cold season. take a flight or book your poe to be houston or somewhere closer

Yea, but now, it's very difficult except one is using a dollar card. Thanks

nellyalph:
I booked with American Airlines during my time from Nigeria. A friend used his gtb card to pay online.

omo no b shere shere o. i have seen a flight for $274 but making payment is the challenge now...Folayetty has really been of help

OluDare01:
Be like say you dey joke abi?
If you book a bus, na die o. Be ready to spend 33hours on the road.
I doubt if you can get a train from NY to TX. Local flight shouldn't be more than $200. You'd have go look for someone that wanna send $$ home

I'm trying to book a connecting flight/train/bus from New York to Dallas...whichever one but having a challenge making payment. How do i go about this? Who has done this before from Naija? Can i pay with cash when i get there in case I'm unable to do it online?

Pls help a brother out here oooooo

Thanks alot, you are very correct. Infact when i read their customers' complains online, i ran to Royal Air Maroc.

LagosismyHome:
only fly Arik if u have enough time on your hand....but if u are flying a day or few days to your i20 start date then stay far away from Arik so flight get cancelled last minute . ...

Wow! At last! Congrats man

eniolagharxe:
