Imagine Mali of all countries raising shoulders against Nigeria.

If Mali attacks Nigeria now, will you sign up to fight and defend the country?

Though the primary cause of that unfortunate crash was a piece of metal strip the crew of 4590 stepped on while taxing to lift up, but how on earth did they stupidly neglect this key weight calculation?

This simply increase the drag of the plane hence stalling despite the captain increasing power to ensure they lift up and perhaps pray for a chance to level up and then make an emergency landing. However, it contributed to the unstable centre of gravity of the plane and its eventual doom. What a costly mistake.

"Nineteen bags were loaded into the aft baggage compartment without being added to the load sheet, and the pilots counted on burning the Air France standard of 2,000 kilograms of fuel during taxi, which turned out to be unrealistically high. Even without accounting for these faulty assumptions, the pilots concluded that they would take off at the structural limits of the airplane."

I still remember this disaster. I was in the University then. It was a news the world watched in horror. It is understandable that air disasters are always catastrophic and fatal.

What a terrible end for the doomed passengers watching themselves helplessly to their own deaths because of pilots errors. Worst is the pilot should have listened to his first Officer and abort the takeoff.

A Concorde that never had any fatality over 20 years of its beautiful existence suddenly had one! And that kill the future prospect & advancement of aviation science in that line. What a sad end for the Concorde.

Abeg let the indomie generation here learn history and the future pilots to be learn a thing or two so that lives will be preserved.

I presume he took off to avoid hitting the plane carrying Chirac and his entourage.

What was the offence for which presidential pardon was sought and obtained?

Primary 4! 😀

Yes. I wrote common entrance in primary 4 so I had to sign the application forms. My dad asked that I use my name so that I won't forget the signature but I disagreed. So, since I was forewarned of the consequences, that signature has stuck with me.

Yes I do. I've never had signature issues. The signature has been since my primary 4 without any change.

When it was One Hundred and something naira, we occupied Nigeria; when dollars was 199, we were told it's not okay.
Now? Since they are the ones in government, no matter the hardship, everywhere stew.

Congratulations. Your father will be proud of you!

Na theft e theft, e no kill na.
Now same people crying make Nigeria no invade Niger.. say peace is needed in Africa.

He go soon upgrade to holding gun and killing. If you hand over to police, he will soon be released and become more dangerous. Better to nip him in the bud as the parents did a poor job.

Who is the Chief, or are you referring to the Mallam?

Leave Niger alone. No go fight proxy war for the west because it will be disastrous.
Imagine fighting in a French speaking country using English speaking soldiers.
How do you even read maps written in French?
The soldiers will be so conspicuous and easy to pick out.
Abeg we get plenty wahala for home.

"You see a rerun but forces are fighting it"

Which kind of "seeing" is this?
If there is a rerun you saw it.
If there is no rerun, you saw the forces fighting against it.

I think the seer is "cornfused"

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

A yet-to-be-identified middle-aged man has murdered a young lecturer working with the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State.

The incident happened on Friday night at Ifite village in Awka, the State capital.

This reporter, Izunna Okafor, gathered that the lecturer who belonged to the Psychology Department, simply identified as Chima, was murdered shortly after a brief argument with his houseboy, which led to a fight between the two.

This was corroborated by videos currently trending on the social media, which show the suspect as he confessed to have truly killed the lecturer with a pestle.

He said, “When he came back, he told me to cook rice. And as I was cooking the rice, he asked me why I did not wash plates. I did not reply him anything. And then, he further asked why I wasn't responding to his question.

“In the process, he slapped me. But I told him I usually have ears problem, and that people don't slap me. As I was saying that, he angrily asked if I was still talking while he was talking. And therefore, he slapped me again, and brought out cain and start flogging me all over.

“Then in the process, I got angry, and we started fighting. It was also in the process of that fight that I picked up the pestle in the kitchen and hit him on the head.”

The suspect also confessed to have hit Chima with the pestle up to three times before he stopped, after he had fallen on the ground, in the pool of blood.

The video also shows the deceased lying lifeless in the hospital bed, while his bereaved relatives gathered to behold and mourn him, alongside his friends and some hospital officials who we are also interrogating the suspect.

It was also gathered that while Chima's friends and the suspect were rushing him to the hospital that night for medical attention after the encounter, he (the suspect), was attempting to choke to death right inside the vehicle where he was sitting close to him.

“It was in the process that we discovered what was going on and therefore hit of his hand and started suspecting him. As that was going on also, the victim who was still alive then, used his last strength to cough out the suspect's name, before he finally gave up the ghost,” said one of the eyewitnesses.

Meanwhile, the suspect was said to have denied knowing anything about Chima's death, but eventually confessed to the crime after he was tortured by the doctor on duty at the hospital that night.

“In his confessions, he first said that it was the girlfriend of the deceased who visited him that night that attacked him. However after some more tortures, he eventually confessed that he was the person who killed Chima with pestle,” the source said.

A source close to the scene of the incident also alleged that the Abakaliki-born suspect bruised the deceased's body with knife after hitting him to unconsciousness, so as to make it appear as if he was attacked by a third party. Though the suspect denied the allegation.

All the efforts made to get the reactions of the Spokesperson of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, on the matter, proved abortive, as as he was yet to respond to messages sent to him, as at the time of this publication.

Na wa o.
But what authority does a doctor have to torture a suspect instead of inviting the police?
What if the confession is borne out of the so much torture?
Anyway, RIP to the dead.

My father told me that when he was a shop-keeper in Jos in the 70s,they used to have the credit and the cash department.You could walk into many stores at any given time and buy things on credit and the shop-keepers would sell to you with the same enthusiasm as with cash buyers.
Nigerians don't take credit purchases on a friendly note.Most shops have signs that says "No credit today,come tomorrow!".Whereas credit is normal thing elsewhere.This issue is even particular to yoruba people who says that they have not had their first sale and it's rather too early in the morning.
Is it our economy system?
PS: I don't buy things on credit o.Just my observation.

Nigerians don't like paying their debt. They will be friendly while collecting the things on credit but when it's time to pay back, the seller will see war

Why won't there be scarcity when all we so is import everything and only export crude oil?
The country cannot mint dollars so we need to reduce imports and increase exports to earn it.
Until then, scarcity will continue with the attendant increase in exchange rate

Geovanni412:
Not at all, boss

I use them and I have had decent experience with them

The only issue i have with them is that I don't have direct market access

Which means each time I sell a stock, it goes straight back to my withdrawal acct ..it isn't suitable for daytrading

I don't know if they give direct market access. Would have asked of that but Nigerian market is too slow for me to bother with day trading

You have mixed up direct market access with direct cash settlement.
And yes Investment One offers direct market access upon request.
