I hope that happens soon cos its quiet insulting to paint almost all African countires black, this is where Nigeria embassy in London should come out and question this development.

Well, wait until the Lord Lords of the Commons get to debate that list.

It's obvious that the UKBA is targetting countries with high number of applications and as usual, commit them to produce evidence upon which they drew that list and you would be shocked that either none was used, or completely unscientific extrapolation of statistical data was used as we found out in the English UK Judicial review court case.

Thanks alot bro for your time and d valuable info you've been sharing on this forum.

1) Have tried  explaining things to those solicitors,  They seems to bee too quite for my likening, all we keep hearing is ' Give them some time, they'll call you!' You see whats I'm saying, I wish I could do more from here . .

I will again call them (solicitors) today. I think quiet time is over, they should at least do something since they're representing a client here.

2) No! We received no acknowledgment letter from them, Imagine, I personally sent an email using my sisters ymail account and scanned the 'determination'. Just 2 weeks ago, we even had to post a hard copy of the determination to them in Abuja, up till now, no word from them . .
Regarding the phone conversation, well, I'm not sure who their operators are or competencies when its come to phone handling as an operator, the lady we spoke to last said someone would get in touch with us that she'll relay the information to the department in question that was more than two weeks ago . . still no show!

I still called them this morning and they said they re closed which I fnd rlly strange!


Thats the case o my bro, some people no dey go through this hassle at all!

I completely understand your fraustration. I tell, the entry clearance posts overseas are all getting confused 'cos of the mad rush changes in government immigration policy and the CUT in employees at the UKBA.

One thing I would suggest is this, send them an e-mail again. In the e-mail, state the obvious that you were told by thier correspondence unit in a telephone conversation that they will get back to you to let you know the date you should bring your passport to them and that its over two months now and you haven't heard anything from them. Include the date and time you had the conversation and address the letter as official and make it sound it a continuation of a correspondence you had with them by beginning as for example;

Further to your telephone conversation on the, put date here, bothering on submission of my passport for the purpose of visas issuance following the AIT appeal determination , put the reference number of the case here, , I wish to state that I am yet to receive any further invitation either by e-mail/phone notifying me of the date I should bring the passport down,despite the assurances made by the officer whom I had the telephone conversation with.

Then go on to let them know that it's been over two months since that assurance was given and that it appears nothing has been done to date.

Maybe you need to also conclude diplomatically, appreciating thier work and requesting them to considered your request in line with the legitimate expectation you have of thier good service.

After sending the mail, also give them a call on the same date, and if you get to speak to any body, remind them of the e-mail and previous telephone conversation, if the person is polite in answering, ask the person how long you are suppose to wait to get thier invitation and if they can get someone from the APPEALS section so you could speak with them. Some of them sometimes are helpful and do get someone for you to speak to.

I think the key thing is you just have to make sure you follow your correspondence with them by reminding them that the issue is not a new one and that they are already working on it but you are not getting information from them as suppose to.

Bro, I know its abit stressful but just continue, sooner they will send you the mail/phone call.

As for your Solicitors, 'm not surprise at thier response, to many of them, they only care that they win at the AIT,and very few help you getting your passport stamped!

Endurance is the key here.

@justwise,
I think you would soon see that list abandoned! Just wait for a dimplomatic roar to escalate between the UK and any of those countries and you will see UKBA avoiding that list.

We have seen all these nonsense before and at the end nothing was achieved with it.

Makes me wonder if the UK is truly running out of 21st century ideas on how to manage immigration sensibly.

rapheal2k9:
Hello,
Does any1 know about the new English requirement? Are we required to provide TOEFL or IELTS result to apply for UK visa? Please advice

Please down load and read this document released by the UKBA to clarify the English Language requirement.

see attached document in pdf.

ulale:
if u want to apply for undergraduate programmes in uk, u must provide ielts with minimum score of 6.5 onward, or toefel, but if it is postgraduate no need for this

Please check your info again as I think you are getting the English language requirement slightly muddled up.

phar897:
Please help!!

Its almost 2 month now, ECO hasnt called yet. We've called, emailed and do all sorts but nothing yet. Any advice/suggestion is welcome please! I really dont know what to think anymore. At least, the appealed has been granted going to 2 months now and the both parties has received a copy of the determination. I really don't know what the status of things is!

I'll keep checking the forum hoping someone get to read this.

Many thanks!

I understand your fraustration but can I ask you if you Solicitors has written a letter to them already?

Now, this is my suggestion; You need to get your immigration solicitors to write a letter to the foriegn common wealth office in London, requesting to know why the BHC in Nigeria is refusing to issue the visas even after two months of the determination.

Can I also ask you if they wrote back acknowledging the receipt of your e-mail/determination?Also, you said you have called, and may I ask who you had the telephone conversation with and what did the person tell you?

Also, I will like to bring this to your notice that it has come to the fore that UKBA staff appears to be tempering with AIT appeal out come on thier computer systems. More recently, a number of appeal cases have been found to have been recorded on thier computer system as "AIT appeal decision was in HO favour" whereas, the HO lost the AIT appeal. This has led to case file that should have been sent for visas processing left unattended to for more than 2months! I am beginning to ask myself if this maybe what they have done in your own case.

The two last options on the table are these;
1.Write a letter of complaint to the obudsmans for them to investigate your case.(I will letter you know how to go about this when the time comes)

2.A pre-action protocol letter.

But this two options are the least and should not be engaged for now until you write a letter of complaint to the FCO through your immigration solicitors.

I think the government totally under estimated the net contribution foreign student make to the UK economy.

The so called Immigration reforms will back fire big time and for real, many foriegn students are now looking in the way of Canada, Austraila.

I am sure chinese students will be the first to make the switch and so too will the local chinese shops with several local economies to be the hardest hit. Home students fees will end up being £12,000 by 2015 if the government continue her reforms which is more or less a killer pill.

Do I smell similar 1980s protest on the streets of Britain this autumm/summer? Looks more like it.

Meanwhile, companies are continuing to advertize higly skilled jobs and they can't find the required people with the right skills set 'cos goverment mad rush immigration changes has left many skilled workers unsure of thier continuos stay and are now looking elsewhere as possible destination for work and settlement.How on earth do you tell someone who earns £45,000/per with 40% taxes that He would only be allowed to spend maximum 3years and would have to sit out 12months before being allowed to apply for further work permit when other places like Austraila are now luring skilled workers with right of abode after 4-5yrs of work permit.

Maybe the UK is about to realized that the global villiage doesn't all revovle only around them afterall.

Hope other countries will take cue from the UK on how not to carry out immigration reforms on the backside of descrimination and public hatred.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobile/education-13751446

So those experts were right from the beginning! Net gain from David Cameron's immigration policy is going to be negative for the UK both in short and long term!

Will D.C  goverment listen? I guess not!

From some post on this thread, it appears so many people really do not have the grasp of what "CHURCH" means!

oh! how I wish God would open thier eyes of understanding!

Again, as for tithing, people often fail to understand's God's symbolism in the OT! I tithe and I know why I do it! People need to understand the spiritual symbolism of tithing and I am sure when they do, they will even want to give God 20% of thier earnings!

Maybe the right question to be asked is this; Was tithing ever God's idea and if so, for what reason?

I thought this infi-complex thread ought to be close by now? huh!

Rants of those who lack any bit of objectivity!

muami:
We are actually saying the same thing in different ways. Of course, there are timelines provided in the FOI which is why the person requesting for the information(SERAP in the case)  simply makes his request without issuing threats and ULTIMATUM since a time is already specified in the Law!

Let say I usually never regard your post as something worth reading in any of the forums I have seen you post, okay.

To you that claim to have read the FOI ACT, can you tell us which section/sub section/pgh it says explicitly that it is only government departments that FOI request can only be made?

Again, I wouldn't blame you as such, you can only pass comments to the extent of your knowledge and exposure. On this issue, YOU ARE RANTING OVER A NONE ISSUE!

As for whether Nigerians being smart or not - tough luck- 'm a Nigerian and I know 'm smart. If you'r sufferring from infi-complex, well, thats no business of mine. Keep ypur degenerating opinion to yourself and wait till a white dude tells you you'r smart before you jump high heaven -

ta ta!

muami:
Why is it that things that work so simply in other climes are always made complex in Nigeria? I am completely disappointed at SERAP and have lost the little respect I had for them for this shameless request for information, FOI laws have been inn existence in other nations for so many years so I expected to learn how to make requests for information if they had no idea how it is done. No law, including the FOI gives you the power to issue ULTIMATUM to the government over an information or to go about WARNING the government to release any information to you. Indeed, FOI requests are to be kept as simply, concise and as clear as possible. You simply request for the information you need and allow the government or relevant body to decide whether they want to release the info or not. If they refuse, you go to court. so why issue EMPTY threats?

I think you are the one that probably needs education about what an FOI request content should read!

There is absolutely noting wrong with that request. Your thinking that a governor is one god is why you take exception to the way they have gone about it.

Let me remind you, that because failure to act by respodent has consequencies, it suffice that such a request reminds the respondent of next line of action should the respondent fail to act in line with the what the laws says!

Abeg go find better thing critique!

dorox:
It appears to me that we are gradually becoming better christians in nairaland. If it were before there would have been a lot more people lining up in the defense of this low life scum of a man.

In your world!
FYI, Benson Idahosa built 102 schools, all those who worked for him paid a fraction of the actual cost of the fees at a time when most private schools of his type were charging thousand.

Most workers of his church had thier children trained free in his school from ptr-kg to SS-3!

Those that lived in Benin in Idahosa's time will most likely spit on your grave!

This man suffered, yet He never gave up! If you know anything about church growth in Nigeria and how this man Idahosa laboured for it, then you wouldn't pass such comments!

This same man raised millions in glory to God, but you with your seemingly holier than thou I doubt has even helped feed the poor in your neighbourhood!

brood of vipers, reserved for the blackest of darkness. They speak against any and everything they can not comprehend! Jesus encountered your type and you are nothing new.

With all your prosperity through hard work, how many Nigerians have you given shelter to?

Oscillation:
Not everybody that was registered voted, hence some folk voted not more than once and many more didn't vote at all due to change of location prior to election date. Many of my friend were victims of exchange of location because they were back to register but weren't to vote.

sorry how does this change the fact that the mean percentage of votes declared as valid vote cast in all elections is way below that declared by INEC when you aggregate the votes allocated to each party for example in the Presidential election!

Sadly, not one of you who say whatever sooths you will be remembered after you die, and even beyond.

In your death, hell will not quake neither will heaven be glad. Why? because your life was a life lived for self and not others!

Take this home; "Not a single man who have chased after great men are remembered"

So, why not find your path in God and walk in it with fear and trembling! Pastor Chris is walking his, why do n't you walk yours without casting aspersion on another?

NLMediator:
I'm sorry, you're the one demonstrating ignorance. The path to riches as contained in the Bible has nothing to do with endless giving to pastors and church projects. Why didn't God tell Isaac to give in time of famine? Instead He told him to work hard and invest properly. And He blessed it. That's exactly what pastors do. They do not waste their resources giving to build others always at their own expense. No, they focus on investing in their ministries and growing them. While many in the pews keep on deceiving themselves that they'll get rich by "sowing more seed", ignorantly believing the pastor is doing the same especially when he regals them with testimonies of giving out cars or being the biggest giver in the church. Baloney.

That was where the trap was set and you fell for it! God wasn't asking Isaac to till the ground because He wanted Him to learn how to work hard!-in your wisdom, you forgot that Isaac was a trained farmer and a rearer-!

All God wanted to see was Isaac's trust in His word! And same goes with you lots that cry over money money being given to churches. Most of you that cry out louder are inwardly money conscious but openly wanting to denounce it!

Let me tell you this; there yet more people who sacrifice than they who offer offerings and if you do not know, God accepts offerings But He savours sacrifices! so step up and leave mere issues of offerings behind,we have move on from that,as there is a bigger and greater part -THE SACRIFICE- Hope you will grasp this! Try study the story of cain and Abel again to get more insight.

Again as God is concerned, so am I and I ask, how will chasing Pastors whose members give offerings and tithe bring the souls to God? My gent - Preach the Gospel as Peter and John did!

frosbel:
^^


You obviously do not read your bible hence the above statement.


But for the benefit of doubt I will give you till end of today to do your research and come up with the TRUTH otherwise I will have to do your work for you

Again you read my post well! FYI, 'm not one to trade words with you haven known you for creepy and crafty manipulation of the bible.

I tell you again, you are chasing shadows! No where in the NT will you find a reward for false phropet chasers, rather crowns are given out to men who win souls for christ and to win souls is to preach the gospel. And this gospel is simple;Ro 10 vs 9-10. Thats all that is required. The rest, leave each to do what 2Ti 2:15 says!

Lastly, how many souls will your chasing of those you called false prophets win for Christ and GOD?

An exercise in Fruitility,

@ Pastor AIO,
who has made you the Lord over another's servant? Is it not to his own Lord whom each shall answer?

Why do you seek to use the scripture out of contex? The instruction to Test, Prove every Spirit was never an instruction to start judging Pastors!

Again that scripture said TEST, PROVE every Spirit, not the Pastors

Secondly, He said do so to know if it be of God.

What I always tell folks like you is this; If your light be glowing, would there have been need for others to run to these so called Pastors you claimed are false?

Again,when Jesus was here on earth, in a parable he gave about the weed, He said "My Father will" do the separation. So when have you become God that it is now your duty to do the separation?

Finally, why not stick to the task you have been given by Jesus saying:" Go yea into all the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL, " Preach the gospel Jesus not identify who false prophets are. As you Preach the gospel, the Holy Spirit whose work it is to convict men of sin and guilt will help them see the false prophets through God's word!

dorox:
If you truly believe in hellfire, I think it would also be wicked and unreasonable for you to bring a kid that never asked for life and never made any promise about how he/she will use the life if given a chance into this world knowing that there is a real possibility irrespective of how the child is raised that the child might end in hellfire.

Permit me to also remind you that same God paid the ultimate price in order that We might receive the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS (which is very nature of God) so freely! It doesn't matter the length or the number of days you spent, rather it is whether you accepted God's grace and His testimony in Jesus christ.

Following your logic, would you say someone is not a thief because He hasn't been stealing long enough? NO. The sceptre of justice says if and when you are caught and found guilty, there and then you are a thief. Wether yoi are given a short, long or community sentencing, it really doesn't count. In the eyes of justice, you are a thief caught stealing.

It's so simple to avoid God's wrath - Ro 10 vs 9-10, believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, confess with your mouth the Lordship of Jesus, there and then are you saved. For with the heart man believes and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation!

A word is enough for the wise.

Absolute waste of time this ones! When did it become your responsibility to chase, expose false prophets? All through the Bible, where can you find God's servants chasing and looking to expose false prophets except when it be that God manifest Himself through those prophets, that the people may know that He is God?

Like Apostle Paul warned; to whom is he your servant? isn't he be answerable to his master?

If yea truly had your 'lights' glowing,would men have rather pitch thier tenths with them?

Why not do as Peter said; ", make your FAITH effectual by the acknowledging of EVERY GOOD THING which is in YOU". That is what you and I should be doing and not this so called shameful exposing of false prophet! Jesus said; "Go yea into the world and PREACH THE GOSPEL, " He never sent you to be a false prpphet exposer! PREACH THE GOSPEL , so said He Jesus!

thehomer:
If the holy spirit himself could go around assassinating people for not fully giving away their money, how difficult will it be for him to just temporarily make sinners swoon?

Correction, these people were never slained by the Holy Ghost. Just take your time to study that scripture again.

Haha! This one is really funny. So now it is a claim that the Apostle were ilitrates -so can not read nor write-. A very lame posit in itself! Apostle Paul clearly boasted to the church in conrithians, Galatians, Philippians and many more that He was a "trained legalist" as a Jew! Can someone remind me again who 'train legalist' were in Apostle Paul's days?

And wait a minute, weren't some of the Apostles tax collectors or friends of tax collectors? Can someone also remind me again of what kind of associations were often formed in those days?

Abeg, lets leave this one aside, and deal more with the ever present facts that continually being proven by different historians using modern techniques to show that the datings of these NT books actually matched the period the authors were in the location as claimed !

This rank among the crest of ignorance I have come across on NL!

Do you sincerely know the meaning of 'church'? Jesus said;"I will build my church and the gates of hell SHALL not prevail against it" - meditate on that scripture abit and ask yourself: Can Jesus or anything He chooses to do be boring?

Now I ask you this; are you a worker in the house of God?

Also, I see how cleverly you have tried to twist the WORD for your gain but let me remind you, the WORD only has an impact when the Spirit of God acts on it, rightly the Spirit you can not manipulate to your vain!

Unknown to you, your first two introductory paragraphs reveals who you are and God will have mercy on you. Daring to compare the way of the rich of the World to that of a Christian! Or have you not heard or read how there was great famine in the Land of the philistines, while the world ran for the greener pastures, God in his wisdom told Isaac to sojourn therein and plant in the same land of philistine where every body-the world- was running away from. Go study the reminder part of that scripture and know God's foolishness is by far superior to man's greatest wisdom ever!

As for tithing, who forces you to tithe? Why call another names because one eats meat sacrifice to idols and another doesn't like Paul said? Thank God I am a tither in God's house!

Whether He be entertainer or not, the Souls God has used him to snatch from hell and Satan is far more important!

This rank among the crest of ignorance I have come across on NL!

Do you sincerely know the meaning of church? Jesus said"I will build my church and the gates of hell SHALL not prevail against it" -meditate on that scripture abit and ask yourself, can Jesus or anything He chooses to do be boring?

Now I ask you this; are you a worker in the house of God?

Very strange people can not see the handwriting on the wall! This is not about foriegn investment rather it is simply about South-Korea food security! Forget the claim that after three years they handover the farm management to Ekiti government. Do you know how long it will take them to pay back the $400m? or do you think these guys have $400m sitting somewhere they want to throw about?

oh goodness me! If these Koreans are serious, let them first sell thier produce in Nigeria, West Africa or even East Africa where there is already starvation-Why buy all the produce to South-Korea when there is a market here in Africa! That tells you thier wicked motives.

This is not about pessimism, rather the share greed of the developed world is a real threat to the developing world and they do not mind spilling the blood of many as we have witness in the last two decades. Afterall, it is said, to them, thier belly is thier god!

Was it not for such purposes as largebscale commercial farming we have the Africa Agricultural Development Bank, so that we can gain access to money to engage in large scale farming?

Those in the Niger Delta are trying to kick out Shell, Chevron etc, yet we are opening other parts for indo-Asians to come in!

Olumide Ayoola                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   [size=15pt]Fight to flight[/size]

The inspiring story of how this man fought to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a pilot.
WHEN HE was just five years old, Olumide Ayoola set foot on a plane for the very first time - and was hooked.
It took 42-year-old Olumide another 25 years of determination to finally become a commercial airline pilot for KLM UK.
Ayoola told The Voice’s Trudy Simpson of his amazing journey. “When I was five, I went on my first flight. The cabin crew
took all the children on board to see the cockpit and the pilot.

AIRCRAFT

“Once I walked in and saw the buttons and lights, and the view they had from the front of the aircraft, I fell in love with it. I said ‘This is what I want to do.’ “There is a big difference between wanting to be a pilot at five and eventually achieving it at the age of 30. That was down to mainly financial and health reasons. “In secondary school I would daydream and followed any newspaper reports and publications about airplanes and pilots, and every time I flew I tried to get the chance to talk to the pilot. Every opportunity I got, I would go to the airport. “At 16, when I finished my O’ levels, I gathered enough information to go to flight school. However, his parents encouraged him to go to university first.
“I came over from Nigeria to go to school in England. It gave me more access to find out more about becoming a pilot.
“Becoming a pilot was also in the background when I went to university and studied engineering. “When I finished at niversity, I was free to pursue it. But when I found out the cost was so high, I couldn’t afford it. “Flying training is very expensive. It costs about £80,000 to go from scratch to being at the point where an airline can finally employ you ,and even then they have to put you through further training. “There are a number of ways people can get in. You can be lucky enough to have the cash so you can pay for the training yourself. At the age of 21, I didn’t. “I couldn’t ask my parents to sponsor it because the cost was so high and they had already spent so much on my education. On top of that, I had
found out my eyesight was not good enough to be a commercial airline pilot. “At that time you had to have virtually perfect eyesight to be a pilot and I wore glasses from the age of 10, so it looked, for a long time, like I was not going to be able to achieve it. I was very despondent. It was as if the dream was over.

PRIVATE

“But I was told my eyesight was still good enough to be a private pilot. So I said ‘If that is the next best thing, I’ll do that’. I did that on and off and started working as an engineer for London Underground, flying whenever I could as a leisure thing. “I later found out that London Underground had a flying club, which was subsidised so it was cheaper than what I was doing. I went there and started flying more and more. And I (later) read about laser eye surgery. “At 24, once I found out I was suitable for it, the dream came back. I did the surgery, waited two years to make sure the eyesight was stabilised, and applied again to be a commercial pilot. I also started looking into going to flight school. “Airlines were offering sponsorship (to go to school) but for one reason or another, I was not eligible. I realised I would have to self-sponsor. “I worked for a few years as an engineer and saved up and got lucky with the property I bought. I realised that by selling the property I would be able to pay off the mortgage, pay for the flying training and have enough to put down on a deposit for another place. “I did my flight training for three years because I didn’t do it full time. I had a mortgage to pay and bills, so I had to keep working and did the academic part of the training part time. “I finished the training and began job hunting. I sent applications to at least 500 different companies, different types of airlines. But it is twice as difficult for somebody who is self-sponsored compared to somebody who is sponsored by an airline. “But I kept applying and networking, talking to people. I met people who were working as pilots who could make recommendations. “It took me about nine months to find a job. There were times I felt like giving up, when people said ‘You are crazy, you are throwing away a good career to chase this dream’, because I was well paid as an engineer. “It was a good career but it felt all the time that something was missing from my life. “My big break came at an aviation jobs exhibition, given to me by one of the guys I knew from networking. “Nearly all major airlines were recruiting but I sat through presentation after presentation saying they were looking for the type of person I wasn’t. “Half way through, I thought I was wasting my time and went outside. Standing near the door was an old gentleman smoking a pipe. “We got talking and I basically told him that it seemed I was wasting my time here because I was self-sponsored, over the age limit, and did not have enough experience. “He talked me into staying, saying ‘You never know, ’ so I went back inside to listen to more presentations. “Then they said the next speaker is the pilot manager from KLM UK. On stage came the man I had been speaking to. “They had a round table after the presentation and I went over, and he and I chatted. “He said ‘Don’t give up and eventually we will get to your application’. We had a very encouraging conversation and I went home feeling much happier. “Three days later, I got a phone call from one of the guys I mentioned to him and he was saying the gentleman had asked about me. “He encouraged me to call (the gentleman) again. I did. He said he had spoken to my friend about me. He put my CV in the pile of those that he had recommended. “Six months later, I was starting a new job! There was a bit of trepidation but a lot of happiness. I have been with KLM 10 years. “My message (to people) is not to let themselves be railroaded by peer, parental or any other kind of pressure into doing something they don’t feel is for them. Everything is possible.”

Thank you! This story made my day. Very inspirational and captivating.

jmaine:
If your all trying to say the entire elections were rigged and also trying to let us know that the actual numbers of votes cast in the country were ficticious when neither of you even know the bias or methodology INEC used to arrive at that percentage . .  Then permit me to say that area where the CPC polled large amount of votes were also rigged . . . The overwhelming ACN victory in the SW at all levels was also rigged, the victory of Okorocha was also rigged . . .  all political platforms results were rigged cos their results were factored into the INEC conclusion as well, remembering there were upsets at the polls . . . Do you all agree  . . . If no, then wait for INEC to clarify their true position before you start making faulty deductions . .then you will know what to counter and what to strengthen

Dude, you do not need further explaination from INEC.You have the tools with you to do justice to these numbers. INEC has them on thier web site.

As for the CPC and ACN votes you mentioned, really that is not the focal point. Out cry is not about PDP, CPC or ACN, rather it is about underpinning how votes were manipulated to prevent further occurances.

Again, this will further underscore the fact that some Nigerians are despirately wicked at heart! While everybody were busy hoping for a new turn in our electoral process, some were busy masterminding how to undermine the credibility of the election.

Just in case you do not know, in delta state, in the petition filed by DPP, 34,000 votes were identified by DPP as fraudulent votes which was never recorded in at the polls but was credited to DPP! They are now asking INEC to come prove how those 34,000 votes entered the final results. over 85,000votes were also alledged to have been added to that of PDP.

Again, to get the average turn out for this election is not big deal. You know the total registered voters per state.You also know the total votes cast for each election and there were FIVE elections in total. From that sample you can use your excel Analysis tool pack to work out all the statistical numbers you want.

A truly sad story this is! Election that cost the nation over 100bn naira and a commercial loss according to the LCI over 350bn naira over the four months from registration to final vote cast.

odiaero:
The first and last, and am working to get the middle, but that will be in Russian, am pretty much occupied trading now, cos there is no amount of money the Airline will pay me that can compare to what am earning i trading, highest they may pay me be 15,000 dollars a month.

Between, the 747 Rating is really gonna be had for me, since i need to Fly on commercial to attain the hours, not that i cant fly it,have already done and complete the Stimulator Flying for thousands of hours,  but that commercial stuff i don't think i may have time for it now, and may not, i better base in designing engines or others, i may consider B 737 ratings, cos that will be much easier

Cool, for me flying the stuff is not as interesting as designing it!

As for B737 rating yea,what use will it be when B737 may be falling of the Sky in less than 13years from now. I mean, we are already working on a replacement for B737 albeit a very had push for now due to several factors.

Since you really don't want to fly birds in commercial, ever thought of becoming a private instructor?

^^^^ I think you need to check your sums again. To get the right percentage for Governorship, you must minus the total voters registered in the 10 states where elections did not hold from the total number of valid registered voters as decleared by INEC.

Still the numbers aint adding up, let me finish up this spreadsheet!

When numbers do not stack up, you know water don pass garri!

I have read some comments hear and I shake my head! Why spin a wheel with a force less than it's inertia?

INEC has the actual number of valid votes cast and the 35% figure they arrived at is very similar to what one of the observers also arrived at and questioned the large votes that was actually declared by INEC nationwide!

Now, it is obvious that CPC claims of a fraudulent Excel Spreadsheet macro that adds up imaginary votes is real!

I am digging out all the numbers, just wait and I will post them here!

Like I said before, the empire is beginning to crumble! The guards men of egypt are running for cover!
