Teachers (particularly in poorer schools) are some of the most sadistic people in society.


But wait, I graduated high school at 16, and thought that was early.
If she is 14 in SS3, then she was about 8 in JSS1. Isn't that somewhat of a rush? (except she's unusually smart).

Wow!

I can't believe Nigeria never put this forward till now. With all the incidents I've seen reported.

What exactly do Nigerian tax payers pay these clowns to do anyway?
They get paid more than any lawmakers on the planet, but do the least amount of effective lawmaking.

Better late than never, but still.

Who's the one in white? Those legs are looking something something.

That's an odd directive from a regulatory body.

Just a good ol' hippie.

New house after how many years of singing!

Better late than never.

Yawns. Touch screen, with just 1 letter between D n G on my quartzy keypad, typo error was inevitable. I think its rather pitiable that when you don't have valid point to back up ur claims you resort to typo errors and "horns". Yawns again.

The mathematical odds of that being two consecutive identical typos is pretty significant.
Improving as a person requires admitting your flaws and imperfections.

I'm not certain what points I need to back up MY personal experiences.

For the last time. Your citation of research data claiming EVERY person on a flight is equally impacted is false.
It would be a blind statement if I came to this conclusion by assumption.

I am not assuming. I am stating physical results of myself in the exact same scenario.
My sense of taste is NOT altered when I'm on a flight. I'm speaking for ME, and not for anyone else.
I have taken my own food on board many times, and it's never different. End of story.

I think anything beyond this point amounts to petty bickering, as I'm certain we both have more judicious things to spend time on.

Peace.

It doesn't affect your taste bug? This wouldn't be first time someone would be lying on the internet....

First of all, you've called it "taste bug" twice now. Since you sound smart enough, I assumed it was a typo the first time.
That said, and not to be a prick, but it's hard to have a debate with someone about something they don't know enough to spell right.

If I told you scientific research shows 100% of humans wake up with a 6 inch horn on their heads, would you agree with me?
Why not? Perhaps because you have never woken up with a 6 inch horn on your head.

Same thing. I have taken meals of my own into an aircraft on many occasions, and not once have they tasted different.
Nothing is universal.

bro, the fact is, it's only developing countries like Nigeria that have power problem that's why battery life seems to be a big deal. Chinese guys capitalize on that to sell you Powerbanks in the name of smartphone and you(we) are happy.

Not very true. I worked in telecom for 7 years, and battery life was always one of the biggest concerns by consumers.

It's not unique to developing countries. Although, I see where you're coming from, as it would be more of a problem in countries with power problems.

A simple google search would have helped you.

This issue is not psychological, relative or subjective. It is just a proven fact, all the people experiencing it can't be having the same psychological effect. The ambiant pressure at sea level is not same as at 35,000ft or cabin pressure. Difference in pressure doesn't just affect ur breathing, it also affects ur taste bugs.

I'm pretty sure I already pointed this out to you earlier. The supposed effect is indeed stated to be on your taste buds.

HOWEVER, it IS subjective. Why? Because it DOES NOT affect MY taste buds. Except you're misconstruing the meaning of subjective.
In which case, "A simple google search would have helped you."

Davido stands - Complaint! "Why is he so proud?"


Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

martyns303:
The fact that the food taste different is not relative, it is observed by 99% of passengers with scientific backing.

And frankly I don't see how ur illustration relates.

My illustration relates in the "placebo" sense.

If you're convinced A results in B, chances are high that if given A, psychological factors will skew your perception/reaction in the direction of B.

Again, totally subjective.

martyns303:
I didn't want to go into the technical details as to why it happens. I could get you a copy of Human Performance, its a subject offered by pilots which expains why the food taste different.

And the answer is yes, I have taken my own food multiple times on a flight and it taste different. (I can take my food on a flight)

Placebo-type effect, bro.

I accidentally had the heat set to fan lat night, BUT I woke up sweating this morning. Outside temperature was 30 deg. F (-1 Celsius).

How did this happen? I was convinced the heat was on, so my body responded accordingly.


There is no complex technical detail to why they believe it happens, simply that the factors I mentioned earlier numb your taste buds.
The supposed effect isn't on the food itself, but on you.

That said, taste is highly subjective, so I can't insist on how your taste buds respond. I can only tell you how mine do.

martyns303:
Most people complain of flight food not being tasty, its actually due to the high altitude, the higher you go the less food is going to taste right...

I've heard different iterations of excuses for crappy flight food, like claustrophobia, cabin pressure, engine noise etc.
All backed by research.

However, I call bullshit on them. You can disprove it yourself. Simply take your own tasty meal on a flight, and see if it changes taste.

Answer = Nope!

Nice dogs.

Sentences on Nairaland with the words "...obtainable in other climes" are typically followed by uninformed opinions of "other climes."

(damn, I hate that phrase - other climes)

Honestly, in the grand scheme of flying, they did well in offering that on a short flight.

Many US airlines don't offer that much, or anything at all. Except on longer hauls of 3+ hours.
Then again, flight food is usually crappy anyway, so who cares. Eat before you fly, or take something to snack on.

Good job, lady.

If every politician in Nigeria could quit today, Nigeria would probably be better off.

Does anyone know any difference between PDP and APC?

At the end of the day, aren't they all the same people jumping back and forth, depending where the opportunity to loot lies?

Nigerians DESPERATELY need to refrain from partisan politics, because there are NO set values or principles.
Just a bunch of old thieves running around in search of their next loot - at the expense of their constituents.

LadyBeee:
Please does anyone have an idea of how much I may be needing to process my traveling? I want something smooth, fast and easy. Kindly assist me with information in this regard

Your question is too broad to result in useful help.
For people to assist you with information, you have to first assist them with detailed information/questions about your individual circumstance.

e.g

- Do you intend to visit temporarily or emigrate?
- Are you being invited by a sponsor? (obviously not, since you're not sure what country).
- etc etc

Without these, it's nearly impossible for anyone to make a guesstimate.

Advice: Chasing after "smooth, fast and easy" when it concerns the US or UK is the express lane to being duped by people who call themselves "agents." Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

Nigeria should be ashamed of itself.

But wait, isn't this UNDER 17? Those girls look like they're in their early 30s.

Perhaps if there was an image of him "cruising" under the third mainland bridge it would be more impressive.

Titles with endings like "...and this happened" or "...see what happened next" piss me off.

Then they'll have their own Romeo & Juliet story.


Except it would be something like Boniface & Ukwamaka.

Poor guy posts innocent pictures - gets destroyed on Nairaland.

Guys will do anything to impress the ladies.

What's all the fuss about?

Same song and dance. Same thieves, different hats.
