Jakumo: The life-span of an aircraft is measured both in flight hours, and in takeoff and landing cycles.

A helicopter ferrying passengers over short distances can handle far more than 15 takeoff and landing cycles a day, without causing any undue loading to engines or fuselage.

In the opinion of this armchair accident investigator, the doomed Augusta 109 chopper was shot down with small arms fire, moments after takeoff.

I pray that this armchair accident investigator is wrong for peace to reign. I mean we seem to have forgotten that a prominent Ijaw son died and if this assasination story is what the Ijaws believe, then there's big problem ahead of 2015 elections.

The CIA that said we'll disintegrate by 2015 maybe be right afterall

Its now becoming clearer that Nigeria may seize to exist come 2015. Conspiracy theorists,tribalism and religious differnces have finished us in this nation.

We'll now start seeing heavy arms build up in almost all the geo political zones in the country. Infact I am sure that political heavy weights/Militants in Niger delta will be talking to each other as they believe that Azazi was assasinated. Let's not forget that Tompolo now controls our Nigerian waters, soon even from small arms to heavy arms will mysteriously find its way to our shores via our waters.

My advice, if u have any opportunity to travel on or before 2015 pls grab that opportunity with both hands cos indeed ur life depends on it

Good for Lagos.

Meanwhile, I thought Akpabio of Akwa Ibom is building a deep seaport in the state?

I am sure if Pres GEJ did the same thing, some folks here will say he is pretending . Good one from the General.

I think i am now seeing how 2015 will be. Maybe the CIA analysts were right about Nigeria disintegrating by 2015.

Meanwhile, rumor has it that my Gov Sullivan Chime is dead .

Fornorth: thank god kaduna is back to us muslims

I am sure muslims in the North will be shouting and Jubilating that an INFIDEL is dead.

RIP Yakowa,Azazi,etc

Kewt: And who told you he is a Buhari supporter? Will I be right to safely asssume that by the above statement, you are GEJ apologist?

https://www.nairaland.com/1121875/should-buhari-contest-presidency-again. That is to answer ur question about Mr Olumide.

2nd question, I am not blind and I thank God for it. I'm in Enugu now for my xmas holiday and on getting to enugu, I saw work in progress @ our Enugu Airport. I liked what I saw and if liking what I saw makes me a GEJ apologist, so be it.

On getting to enugu my cousin (a contractor) picked me and we went to where he makes his supplies. To my suprise it was a rail construction site, the name of the company is ESSER a turkish company (anybody who stays in Enugu must have seen their official vehicles). I learnt that FG hvae started massive reconstruction rail lines from PH - North (enugu is along that route). I remembered what Taharqa have been saying all along here in NL. I saw it, I liked what I saw and if that makes me a GEJ apologist, so be it.

I also heard (not from NL but from friends who ply these routes regularly)that work is seriously on going @ Eungu - Onitsha(I hate the CCC contractors handling that road) and Enugu - Ph and that Owerri - Onitsha have been completed. I liked what I heard and if it makes me a GEJ apologist, So be it. Meanwhile let's pray that these roads Last.

However, I also disagree with some of GEJ's actions and God is my witness nobody is paying to be GEJ's apologist.

Almost forgot I supported,preached and voted for BUHKARE. My mum never misses CHANNEL's TV evry sunday by 5pm to watch Bakare preach. Infact as of Last year, my whole nuclear family(except 1) voted for Buhkare.

des2002: Well good news for Igbo people and I bet cows and dunkeys in the North called Hausas are upset now. I am an original Igbo man residing in the USA.Just want a friend from Nigeria.If anybody interested hit me back at: henry20082@yahoo.com

Guy abeg no need for tribal insults.

Olumide: I made some calculations here that goodluck is not going to win 2015!!

He will not win anything!! If GEJ wants to honor himself, the best thing is to conduct a free and fair election in 2015 and exit the power corridor.


Should he contest and win, there will be CIVIL WAR!

You see the problem with Buhari supporters, they so much believe in violence, killings, etc. Other anti-GEJ posters made their points here without mentioning anything violent.

Who told that there will be One Nigeria if GEJ loses? Or do you think other tribes are so happy/ecstatic about one NIGEYRIYA?
Bet me this same Asari that's criticising GEJ will be among the first that will mobilise youths with Arms and Ammunition against Nigeria if GEJ doesn't win in 2015.

You are old enough to know that no tribe have monopoly of violence.

Truth be told with what is on ground, i know that there will be drastic and noticeable improvement of infrastructures by 2015. Even his harshest critics (of which i once was)here in NL can't disprove what Sincere posted on this thread.

This is not a coincidence. Let's not forget the 12 ZODIAC SIGNS.

There's something unique about #12

doctokwus: Anoda of dem security outfits to b used to harass,intimidate& subdue political,economic or social opponents.By d way ddnt know traditional rulers were d chief security officers of their areas of jurisdiction,in otherwords,dese demigods are above reproach frm other mortals,except wen dey offend d governor;only in cavemen inhabited locales are such aberrations allowed in a so called democracy.
Rochas,though far better dan d thug Ohakim,cuts me as a man who really doesn't grasp d dynamics of how to govern a state in d 21st century;his ideas are too pedestrian& more of playing to d gallery dan a far thinking administrator I was expecting;disappointing.

Oga, I'm not a Fan of Rochas' "Socialist" style of governance but I'm with him on this cos I'm a supporter of State Police. I need not go further on the merits of State Police.

Meanwhile if Kano can have their own Sharia Police, why can't IMO

Its no surprise. Afterall where you find the worst federal roads in Nigeria are in South-East. Enugu - Onitsha and Enugu - PH roads are roads made in HELL.

We should remove our minds completely from oil cos as we re discovering more oil here in Nigeria, so also are other countries discovering more in their lands.

Mozambique,Uganda,Ghana,etc are few African countries I can remember that have started oil exploration. World biggest economy (US) have started reducing their dependence on foreign oil and they also have oil rich neighbour Canada. Oil in not too distant future will be sold @ less than $10 per barrel (I may be exaggerating abit).

Just copied this from MFM site. Enjoy

I'd like to meet Beaf

I'd like to meet Ajanlekoko,and Tkb (i wanna know about his farm business)

I'd also like to meet Y me cos she seems to know the way to a man's heart (FOOD)

sayso: I hope the Chinese did not built that rail line? Just wondering the strength of materials as per the 99% surety you just mentioned.

Just came into Enugu few weeks ago and i went with my cousin to a rail line construction site. The company handling the construction is ESSER a Turkish company and we asked some Nigerian Railway personel about the quality of the the work, their reply was that FG should have awarded the contract to the chinese because teh quality of work by the Turks are nothing to write home about. That the quality of Chinese work on our rail lines are high. _{Meanwhile i now believe the rail reconstuction stories that nlander tahaqa usually sings to us here because my cousin is a contractor and he confirmed to me that FG will reconstruct most of our existing rail lines on and before 2015}

@ OP,i have a feeling that this Minister Of Agric will by 2015 be the best Agric Minister we've ever had. Kudos to him

eldoradoxx: Leaders are chosen from the followers, the leader today was a follower yesterday. If the followers are not good, their leaders cannot be different. The people deserve the kind of leaders they get.

oyb: Dunno why, but i see the hand of diezani and her oil pipeline protecting cohorts. Noi has done what she can to plug DAM's leaks and there is major bad blood btw the two

Correct!!!

People don't seem to understand that this kidnap maybe connected to oil cabals, NASS members,evil politicians, etc and not carried out by poverty stricken militants.

I believe they want to force this woman to resign.

ferdimako: They kidnap mothers and fathers of those who kidnap our money and future.

So instead of you paying for your own sins, you would prefer your parents/children pay for your mistakes? Why don't they attack NOI herself and leave the old woman alone?

Kindly explain how she has kidnapped our money? This Lady is trying to make things work in Nigeria and economists are applauding most of her moves. The problem is that its yet to affect the masses positively.

We shouldn't politicise everithing for God's sake. Rather let's pray that her Majesty survives this ordeal and comes back safely

I pray that the kidnappers release this Old woman unconditionally ASAP.

Dignitary: GEJ is the most ridiculed Nigerian President ever.


I think he is just doomed to fail.

I don't think so. Its just that GEJ happens to be the president when @ least 50% of the population have access to internet (social media).

Hall of Fame - Prof Bath Nnaji

Hall oF Shame - Farouk Lawal

Billyonaire: There should be not more than 2 law makers from a state, 74 law makers in all. Ministries should be scrapped to 12.

You know this is only possible if Nigeria starts practicing true federalism and let each stae/region manage its resources.

I thought we've dealt with this in another thread Anyway, General Buhari should anoint another candidate now and campaign for that candidate. Be it El Rufai or Ribadu, he should consult widely and anoint his candidate immediately. We need a strong opposition to put GEJ led govt on its toes.

@ Op, let's be frank Buhari will not and cannot win. You said that he didn't support the killing of corpers but its believed that he and his party members were expecting an "Arab Spring" that'll frieghten GEJ led govt out of power because of their utterances before the election and that's why they kept mute during the crises. Then ofcourse Boko Haram strategy. Whoever that suggested the strategy did the core north (ably rep by Buhari in the eyes of an ordinary southern xtian)more harm than good.

kutchs: But just where did the minister say 6.2b will be used for publicity?
Sensational headline but lacking in substance.

I tire!!! I wonder if guys actually took out time to read the whole news

taharqa: Now assuming this #6.2billion is actuali to be usd for publicity (whateva dat means), then it is both wasteful and stu.pid. Howeva, i seriously doubt it; and what to see d Minister being directly quoted as saying it, and also importantly wud want to see the breakdown of the proposd Budgetary spending. Since Oct, many Nigerian newspapers reportd that the Presidency was going to use #1.3billion to feed itself cos they saw d sum as d amount proposd under the heading 'food, entertainment and other expenses' when the actual amount meant for food and entertainment for thousands of ppl (villa residents and guests) was #203million when the details of d that budgetary heading was releasd. Moreova, only #17million was approvd for publicity dis yr from d article, so it hard to bliv dat #6.2billion wud be usd for 5 yrs when only #17m was appropiatd in d main yr of lobbying for the bill..... Lets find out the details sha, and if it is true that #6billion was actuali proposd just for publicity (again, what d heell does dis mean), then it is most wasteful and shld not be approvd by d NA, period

I wonder how most guys that commented missed ur points here. However, What really caught my attention was what might have been the reason behind NOI refusal to release @ least 60% of budgeted funds of the Min Of Petrol.

I wonder, I just wonder (In Olu Jacobs voice)

Evening guys, i've been followingthis thread for quite sometime now. Would've joined you earlier but it was mission impossible for me to combine my work and this business.

I am a bit free now and want to start practicing. In fact i would've started if not for UBA. But i have some questions for you guys.

What happened to the strategy introduced by Rightlagos and Boss mode strategy introduced by Meritidee? Are the strategies no longer working? Because Random Index seems to be the main game now

ASANIGBO: Zenith bank prepaid mastercard/visacard is more better.

How do you mean? Do you now have the zenith card?

it seems like its now far more easier for a Carmel to pass thru the eye of a needle than for UBA to issue me an Africard. I'm in Enugu @ the moment and almost thruout last week have literally been begging this Bank to give me the card but my plea fell on deaf ears. Their excuse I really don't understand.

Please have anyone used Zenithbanks card to do any transaction online?

ecolime: Companionship

Correct

Companionship and Procreation

arbitrage: You are not clear with your statement. Is it the bank staff that rejected you when you went there to apply for Africard and on what basis did they reject you or are you talking of rejection online after getting the card? Be explicit with your question please.

Meanwhile, you do not need to be a GTBank DOM account holder to have mastercard since the card itself is a naira funded card.

I went back today and discovered it was the bank's fault. The bank's staffs were issued a new identification number/tag and they couldn't access the africard platform with their Identification number. I think I'll take a look @ GTB mastercard. Thanks

It will be a political suicide if GEJ sacks civil servants now. Any meaninful restructuring of the civil service will happen after 2015 elections (If GEJ recontests and wins)
