If Man City beat/draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, City will amass 55 points, which will be a record number of points for a premier league team before Christmas.

Wanna jeopardize our lives huh..

The women are certified type-rated pilots. So, their professionalism shouldn’t be in doubt.

The House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora has faulted the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) visa policy in the United States which came into effect on October 16 this year.


The lawmakers led by Mrs. Rita Ojir (PDP, Lagos) at an interactive session with the NIS Comptroller General, Mr. Mohammed Babandede, expressed concern that Nigerians are being made to pay $270 to renew their visa.


Ojir said the policy was logically flawed in view of the fact that visa applicants were required to pay additional fees of $90 for online registration and another $20 for biometric capturing to the same company, away from the $160 which is supposedly the visa fee.

She questioned the rationale for engaging foreigners to do biometric and capturing that can be handled by the Federal Government, saying the development raised suspicion and concern for the security of the citizenry. "Now that we are talking about erasing corruption in our system, identity theft is a serious crime. Leaving the identity of Nigerians in the hands of foreigners is a security threat.


"You can imagine $110 going into the pocket of privacy companies when Nigerian government can single handedly embark on the project and generate revenue to pay the embassy staff across the world."


Babandede denied involvement of his outfit in any form of extortion. He said the Ministry of Interior awarded the contract and the NIS only acted on instructions from the ministry.


The CG explained that the biometric and capturing was actually embarked upon for security reasons. He agreed with the committee on all extra charges amounting to $270 but said it was beyond the control of the NIS.


"It is true that Nigerians are charged the amount you just mentioned totaling to $270. it is broken down to visa fees $160, registration fees $20 and biometric capturing $90 but only $160 goes straight to the federation account.


"We didn't sign any agreement or contract with anybody, rather the Ministry of Interior did on our behalf. Some of the agreements and contracts need to be reviewed or cancelled,",he submitted.

Sleekyshuga, is this true?

More like a Master of Arts in Law.

In the US, a Master of Arts in Law does not make you a lawyer. The only path to becoming a lawyer is going through law school, and passing the applicable state bar exam.

Ethiopian Airlines has announced its first all-female crew flight to Nigeria.

The airline said women would be expected to fill every role on the flight, from the pilots and cabin crew to in flight ramp operations as well as flight dispatchers on the ground.

According to the airline, this will also be the first time it will be operating an all-women flight in Africa and is expected to leave for Lagos from Addis Ababa on the 16th of December, with some selected Nigerian journalists on board.

The airline quoted the pilot, Capt. Amsale Gualu, as saying during an earlier all-female operated flight to Bangkok from Addis Ababa, “This flight shows us that if women get equal opportunities and work hard, I’m sure they can achieve whatever they want in all fields including the aviation industry.”

The all-female crew, which also has Tigist Kibret as first officer, will be flying the Boeing 777.

The airline said, “In a country where few women have dared to enter the highly male-dominated profession of piloting, Capt. Amsale Guale in 2010 became the first Ethiopian female captain by flying an Ethiopian Airlines Bombardier from Addis Ababa to Gondar.

“We want to promote women’s empowerment and encourage more African women to pursue aviation career. Although one-third of our employees are women, the figure is smaller when it comes to positions such as pilots and technicians.”

The airline stated that as the first Skytrax 4 star airline in Africa, the largest and fastest growing, it is currently implementing a 15-year strategic plan called Vision 2025 that will see it become the leading aviation group in Africa with seven business centres such as Ethiopian Domestic and Regional Airline; Ethiopian International Passenger Airline; Ethiopian Cargo; Ethiopian MRO; Ethiopian Aviation Academy; Ethiopian In-flight Catering Services; and Ethiopian Ground Service.

“Ethiopian is a multi-award winning airline registering an average growth of 25 per cent in the past seven years,” the airline added.

armyofone:
Exactly...also bp should not be money-one goat is enough. The goat should be cooked and eaten by the groom and bride family alone
The one I don't like is when things listed are not given to the bride.

Well, as the bride is marrying into a different family, there is no need for the groom to give her anything on the list.

She was able to be sworn-in while wearing a hijab, because obviously, the New York Bar cannot legally prevent her from attending the ceremony in a hijab.
The entity would face a religious discrimination lawsuit, and most likely lose such a lawsuit.

Lmao

When you adjust for inflation, the N800k bride price would be N2 million today.

Her husband must have really loved her to have spent such an amount of money as BP. If na me, I’ll ask them to either reduce it to N45k or they can go Bleep themselves.

FortifiedCity:


I don't see ladies in the NPF and Army as real ladies. Women have no business defending the city except they are being employed to massage Oga's waist after sitting for too long.

Sexist much

Grammy for that nonsense he sings?

“Your bakassi dey make me trip”.

New York Cheese cake pancakes

Holding the three friendlies in Abuja (or any other Nigerian City) is certainly an ambitious plan on the part of the NFF.

It’s ambitious because the cost of flight tickets (business class/premium economy), and hotel lodging for the visiting teams would amount to no less than N80 million.

However, as the NFF will receive $1 million and $500,000 from FIFA and CAF respectively for WC preparation, hosting the 3 matches wouldn’t be a big financial burden to them.

cococandy:
Do you live there?

The person you quoted is right. I think he or she meant to say the cost price. Of course, no one pays that amount every year for a house .
Anyway, houses in San Francisco even cost more than $200,000, on average. The actual range would be $350k and above.

$180,000 a year, coupled with her hubby’s earnings (say $100,000) would be barely comfortable for them, considering that they have a child. D.C. is certainly one of the most expensive cities to live in, in the US.

Spurs vs Brighton

78 - 22

Oh
Spurs even tried

1st half possession stat:

Swansea 23%-77% Mancity

This has to be a league record!!

For me, Bianca Ojukwu, Chukwuma Soludo, and Peter Obi are easily the most sellable persons from the SE.

Bianca and Soludo would be the ‘safest’ choices because although they are both technocrats, they also do not have a cult of political followeship or a huge political machinery that could challenge a President Atiku.

Bianca is a lawyer and has a Masters degree in International Relations. She also served as Nigeria’s ambassador to Spain for three years, from 2012-2015. She definitely has the requisite intellectual capacity and executive/foreign policy experience to be part of the PDP’s presidential ticket.

Peter Obi and Soludo will be long shots due to their charisma and political machine in Anambra. As the history of Nigerian politics has shown, with the exception of OBJ, the running mate has always been someone who is quiet and unassuming eg GEJ, Osinbajo, Ekwueme etc.

Then, if Atiku decides to serve only one term, Bianca owould be in a great position to run for the presidency in 2023.

My fellow ihopians

Pdpguy what’s your other breakfast place?
Mine is a locally owned place called ‘oak table’. They are really good too. But the wait is always too long so I don’t go there as often as I do ihop.

My 2nd favorite is also a local, family-owned restaurant. Their omelettes are so delicious!! I usually get a combo of the omelette with a side of French toast. I feel like I’m culinary heaven when devouring that entree

cococandy:
I didn’t make these. But I ate them so...

@ihop our favorite breakfast place

Your head is there. IHOP is one of my top 2 favorite breakfast restaurants.

I like B and C.

frostmate:
Please don't FIFA go through the list before match for verification. I mean it's all in their bladdy database, how did they get to know. It doesn't excuse the incompetence of NFF though.

It’s solely the responsibility of the national association to keep tabs on the players who are carrying yellow cards.
It’s analogous to expecting a referee, before a game, to tell a player not to commit a foul: it’s not the ref’s job.

For the Champions league tie vs Barca, Conte should use a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1 formation.

The five in midfield could be Fab, Moses, Hazard, Kante and Luiz. Morata will be the lone striker in the latter formation.

In the former formation, Hazard and Morata will be the front two. Hazard, of course, will be the support striker. And Drinkwater will be in the midfield five.

By CA so you mean Canada? Or California?

California

BlowJobs:
In America, this actually a good advice. Maybe not twice a week. 5times in 7 days or bathing after work instead of before work.
You no sweat, no dust so wetin wan make your body smell if you wear deodorant?

You can do that in the US, except in Florida where the humidity is high. During the winter, I don’t mind showering only 3 or 4 times a week during the winter in CA or the Eastern seaboard.

I suspect that Kate Henshaw and Gabrielle Union will disagree with her.

OreMI22:
Ok, i apologize for my choice of words.
I want to buy or build a home in Naija. Just that people like to reap their brothers off.

Even in America $50-60K will fetch a small decent home in the surburbs of most median cities, despite their huge cost of labor.

This is a HUGE bargain

In CA, that house goes for nothing less than $300,000.

so na porn pay pass?

For a porn actress like her, she could make upwards of $500 per professional porn shoot

I won’t date either
