Poverty will kill you

That person could be partially right. Technically, Toke is light-skinned, so it wouldn't be out of place for her pussy to be same color. But we don't know whether she uses that part to make money.

shadeyinka:
Life isn't like that. A man I know used to work in GLO, when Glo was Glo and he had money, 2 cars even before marriage. One year after, he lost his job. He began to do home lesson for children. Total income now cannot be more than 30k per month...and he has a wife and two children. The wife hasn't got a job.

Equations do change

They must be really struggling! In this economy, N30k can barely sustain a single person, let alone a family of 4.

humilitypays:
because marriage kind ‎of stopped them from sleeping around with top politicians, businessmen, drug barons and top yahoo Boyz. So after they divorce, they become free to ride any Dickson to wealth and more worldly possessions.

You need to be close to rich guys and see how they smash these so called female celebs and slay mamas even in US, UK, Canada. I pity guys of our generation cos their wives must have been shared around by Malay boiz, Yankee boiz, Oil boiz, importers, politicians, sad

Are you serious?

Knowing how Capitol Hill really functions, I doubt Congress will beat the 'deadline' Trump set for them on codifying DACA.

Although Obama side-stepped Congress in issuing the DACA executive order, I believe that individuals who pay $500 to the U.S. government every two years to remain in the country, shouldn't be in risk of deportation (except if they've committed a felony). About 800,000 of them collectively pay $400 million to the government, and more than 9/10 of them are working, thus contributing to the nation's GDP.

So, I am calling on Congress to do the right thing and pass an act similar to DACA (or the DREAM Act), and for Trump to sign it into law.

femi4:
honestly, this is the first time a match will be replay due to ref error

It's actually the 2nd ever FIFA WC qualifier to be replayed. The first was an Asian WCQ for either the 2006 or 2010 World Cup (can't remember the exact one).

For her to speak so boldly, it must have been decided by the APC hierarchy that Atiku will be their candidate in 2019.

International airfares from Nigeria to all global destinations have gone up by another 10 per cent, after an initial increase of eight per cent about three weeks ago.

The development, which brings the total increase in airfares within the space of one month to 18 per cent, followed the upward review of the naira-dollar exchange rate international airlines use for the conversion of their airfares.

The review of the exchange rate is done by the International Air Transport Association, a Switzerland-based trade association representing over 290 airlines globally.

After almost two years of selling tickets at the rate N305/dollar, IATA three weeks ago reviewed the rate by eight per cent to N326/dollar.

International airfares from Nigeria to all global destinations have gone up by another 10 per cent, after an initial increase of eight per cent about three weeks ago. The development, which brings the total increase in airfares within the space of one month to 18 per cent, followed the upward review of the naira-dollar exchange rate international airlines use for the conversion of their airfares.

The review of the exchange rate is done by the International Air Transport Association, a Switzerland-based trade association representing over 290 airlines globally.

A circular from IATA to accredited travel agents in Nigeria said the new exchange rate for the sale of tickets took effect on September 1, 2017.

The development has made international airfares out of Nigeria to increase by 18 per cent.

International airfares are quoted in dollar by foreign airlines. An increase in exchange rate means passengers buying flight tickets in the country will pay more in naira.

After the initial increase of eight per cent, It was gathered that foreign airlines flying into the country were not breaking even with the sale of tickets at 305/dollar.

Consequently, the carriers approached their trade body (IATA) in Switzerland, and the increase was consummated.

The umbrella body of travel agents in Nigeria, the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agents, on Sunday said there was a need for the Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika, to intervene in the matter by convening a stakeholders’ meeting urgently.

The President, NANTA, Mr. Bankole Bernard, said the increase was unacceptable, saying it could send Nigerian travel agents out of business, as some airlines would now be selling their tickets overseas.

“This is unacceptable; we call on the Federal Government through the Minister of Aviation to convene a stakeholders’ meeting urgently to address the problem,’’ he said.

The PUNCH last week reported that non-stop return flights in the economy class from Lagos to some destinations in the United States aboard the Delta Airlines, which used to cost between N750,000 and N850,000 during the summer season, were being offered between N850,000 and N940,000.

Non-stop return flights from Lagos to London, the United Kingdom in the economy class on the British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, which used to be between N350,000 and N550,000, had also risen up to between N400,000 to N600,000 for the summer season. A non-stop return flight in the economy class from Lagos to destinations in South Africa, aboard the South Africa Airways, which used to cost between N220,000 and N240,000, depending on the timing, had gone up to between N230,000 and N250,000 for the summer season.

Med-View Airline on Tuesday said it has taken steps to boost its international routes network by acquiring new aircraft, adding that it took delivery of the B777-200ER on Monday night.

"The aircraft with registration no.CS-TFM arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 11.48pm to the jubilation of airline personnel and airport workers. The modern generation aircraft will be positioned on Sunday to service the Lagos-London route," the airline said in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Mr. Obuke Oyibotha.

He said the aircraft was configured to sit a total of 326 passengers with 24 flat bed seat in the business class and 302 seats in economy.

"The aircraft is also installed with IFE on individual seat of both classes of the cabin. Since its debut on the Lagos-London route, on November 20, 2015, the airline operated with B767 and later B747, which is now being replaced with B777 aircraft," he said.

The Med-View Airline's Chief Operating Officer and Accountable Manager, Mr. Lookman Animashaun, was quoted to have said that the deployment of the B777 on the London route was part of the airline's strategy to rebrand its international operations, especially the London route.

He said the airline would soon commence operations to West African Francophone countries including Abidjan in Cote'd' Ivoire; Conakry in Guinea; and Dakar, Senegal.

Animashaun also disclosed that Dubai would be added to the airline route network in November.

chukxie:
Shanghai is much more beautiful than Beijing. It's also the most cosmopolitan city in China. One downside of Shanghai is its outrageous property prices. Property prices there are way above those of Beijing and every other city in China.

Wow. Sounds exactly like the situation here. House prices and rent are out of control.

SE players in high spirits

Ighalo wasn't offside. .. a caneroonian defender was in the goal line making Him onside...

dabossman:
Where do you guys keep getting this misinformation that Ighalo was offside. There were two Cameroonian defenders on the goal line when Moses cross came in his direction. Offside how?

According to the laws of the game, if the attacking player receives the ball when he is closer to the goal than the 2nd to last opponent, the attacking player is in an offside position.

Yes, a Cameroonian defender was level with Ighalo, but Ighalo was ahead of every other Cameroonian player (including the goal keeper) when he received the pass. Goalkeepers, on very rare occasions, could inadvertently set offside traps. The Assistant referee, yesterday, did us a big favor.

You can watch the 2010 WC game between South Africa and Mexico to see how a South African 'goal' was ruled out for offside.

Algeria are eliminated

jotey:
we would still be ahead on goal difference

Assuming they match our GD nko? Of course, I don't see the Zambians scoring 6 goals in the last two games

Just thinking.....

Assuming our first goal against Cameroon, yesterday, was rightly disallowed because Ighalo was offside, and Cameroon hung on to a 1-0 win; we would really be sweating profusely. Now that offside goal is looking more precious by the minute.

Goke7:
with a draw in uyo, zambia can't have more than 10 points and Nigeria will already be on 11 points

Yes.

But what if Nigeria loses in Algeria, and Zambia beat Cameroon in Lusaka? Guess what, Zambia would then clinch the ticket.

So, the SE need to go out for the win on October 7.

samtol4:
A draw is enough

Realistically, you are right. But mathematically, it a draw won't be enough.

Well, well, well Some people are already sweating

Now, the Super Eagles NEED to beat Zambia to clinch qualification.

Danycrusoe:
let's give it to the only Nigerian Referee that has been involved in International matches in recent times, Anietie Ferdinand udoh, he was the referee in the South Africa vs Cape Verde game that just ended. his AR1 is also Nigerian but can't recall his name. sincerely I v not really heard of any other Nigerian referee on the African scene, he was involved in some Caf champions league and Caf confederation cup matches last season. I hope we produce more of him.

Wow. That is very impressive. Let's hope he gets picked for the world cup; but he faces tough competition for the 5-6 African refereeing spots for the tournament. Bakary Gassama (Gambia) and Gehad Grisha (Egypt) will almost certainly be selected by FIFA.

Certitude:
It's head to head before goal difference. Except where it exceeds two teams.

Nope. It is GD before head to head. You can check it out on FIFA's website.

Republic of Congo are eliminated.

Taliban:
Nope Keshi's team played against Niger Republic, where Aaron Samuel and Ahmed Musa scored for us to win 3-1, I remember the fans invading to the pitch too. Keshi got his first sack after the win, got reinstated and ultimately Omeruo (courtesy Ranti ) got him fired after the next match against SA.

Oh. I don't even remember that game lol

Meanwhile, Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Japan are all through to the world cup.

Syria and Australia will contest the 2-legged Asian playoff for the right to face the 4th placed team from CONCACAF (North America).

solonnachi:
What of South Africa?

South Africa are still in it both mathematically and realistically.

Guinea and Libya join Cameroon as eliminated teams.

krattoss:
When last was a super eagles match played at the national stadium ABUJA..??

I WILL LOVE TO SEE A GAME PLAYED THERE..

The last game should be the AFCON 2012 qualifier against Guinea in 2011. So, its been six years

freshest4live:
Gabon is not in same group with South Africa.

My mistake. Meant to say Cape Verde.

SA are still in the world cup race though @safarigirl

KevinDein:
Let us all laugh at South Africa

Lol. Gabon, will occupy 2nd position in the group till at least match-day 5

nextstep:
Now that you mention it, I wonder if this is related - as in the US don't want to grant the permission as this cuts profits for US airlines, so they are raising this concern now - possibly due to lobbing by Delta.

Of course, it's no excuse if we're not meeting the standards and we have to sit up... but the thought just crossed my mind.

The bolded is possible because big American businesses great lobbying influences over the US Congress, who in turn, conduct oversight over the executive agencies.
Anyway, we will see if Air Peace passes the audit and become Category 1 certified. Even if Air Peace doesn't gain that rating, the airline may wet-lease aircraft from an air services operator that is category 1 certified, and use the said aircraft for the US route.

Andy2274:
Oga no Nigerian airline goes to US now o. Only Arik b4 but stopped since Feb or so. So when and how you get your news?

Air Peace has already applied to the US DOT for permission to fly the Lagos-Atlanta route, so this FAA directive applies to the airline as well.
Therefore Air Peace as 65 days to comply with FAA's security and technical standards before being permitted to fly into the US.

Category One certification encompasses airlines, airports, and the regulatory infrastructure of the Civil Aviation Authority. So far, MMIA and the NCAA are Category One certified, hence Delta Airlines direct flights from the US to Nigeria and vice versa.

Oasis007:
The best Formation for Eagles is either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. The other Formation we can play with this present Squad is 4-4-2.

So, a 4-2-3-1 would look like:

----Shehu----Ekong---Balogun---Aina----

---------------Onazi---Ndidi--------------

--------------------Mikel----------------

------------V. Moses---Iwobi(Iheanacho)-------

-----------------Ighalo (Kayode)-----------

jotey:
close your eyes for a second sir and imagine Mikel as the cmf and iwobi as the amf

are you not thinking what I am thinking?

playing iwobi on the wings is a waste when we still have moses Simon and even onyekuru

With Iwobi in the line up, a 3-5-2 (or 3-4-1-2 could work:

--------Shehu----Ekong---Balogun-----

---V.Moses---Ndidi--Mikel----Onazi---

-----------------Iwobi---------------

-------------Ighalo---Iheanacho/Kayode---
