Space exploration is one of the most dangerous careers in the world. As an astronaut, you are more a dangerous gambler than anyone else, and what you stake is your life. undecided

Outbound is a controlled flight and less risky than inbound which is not reasonably controlled.

Imagine being a crew member of a compartment falling from sky due to gravity and your only safety is landing in a deep water body. angry

Assuming there is some little mistake in the calculation and you eventually land on the shore. Even the pieces of the shredded compartment will be as tiny as pebbles. God forbid, I no dey do. angry
Bros stop lying to these people here na.
How can your only safety be in landing in a deep water body?
At 8.5 km above ground level, the capsule’s huge parachutes start to open. You feel gravity dragging on your body as you land into a water body.
The main purpose of the water body is to help elasticate your landing momentum in other to prevent any conversion of energy that may be detrimental to the safety of the crew.
The huge parachutes most of the time offer perfect velocity for a hitch-free landing.

Keep updating yourself
Trust me. U need that more than I do. Every state has at least a drop of oil but most don't produce in commercial quantities for example, Lagos produces a measly 40000 barrels per day, that's just 1.6 per cent of Nigeria's oil export.
If u ask me 1.6% is an insignificant amount.

And yet you compare Lagos IGR to Akwa Ibom contributions to the Federal Government. Smh
Lagos' contribution is from non-oil sources which we all know cannot compare to revenue from petroleum.

Nairaland / General / Lagos Is Overhyped, Akwa Ibom Is Underrated. by Rolexjerry(m): 9:58am On Jul 31, 2020
All these Lagosians overhyping Lagos State I tire for una oooo.

Just this morning, someone made a comment on how Lagos State alone could sponsor the whole Nigeria's budget in one of the posts here.
The other day another Lagosian said that Lagos was the state with the largest economy in the entire African continent, I was shocker than Buhari sef because Lagos was not even in the top 5 - Lagos is far below Johannesburg, Cape Town, Cairo etc in terms of GDP alone.

Come back to Nigeria, Lagos made an IGR of ₦398 billion in the whole of last year 2019. That amount of money is not even enough to fund it's own(Lagos) 2019 budget which was set at over half a trillion Naira.

In comparison, Akwa Ibom State alone contributed roughly that amount (₦380 billion) PER MONTH (not per year oooo) to the Nigerian economy in 2019 in the sales of over one hundred and eighty million barrels of crude oil at an average price of 65 dollars per barrel.

If every state were to survive on their resources, you would notice how Lagos would struggle to keep up with even the smallest Niger-Delta state.

The most important state to Nigeria's economy is Akwa Ibom State, followed by Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa States.
These four states alone produce over 93% of Nigeria's oil(Nigeria's primary source of revenue) literally catering for the economy needs of the entire country but when we want to talk about financial muscle, only Lagos State comes to the fore.

AKWA IBOM STATE MAKES LAGOS' YEARLY REVENUE IN A MONTH.

Lagos is overhyped, Akwa Ibom is underrated.

Nairaland / General / Five Million Apply For 400,000 N-power Jobs As FG Extends Closure Date by Rolexjerry(m): 2:02pm On Jul 27, 2020
FG extends closure date for N-power as five million scramble for 400,000 positions

The Federal Government on Sunday said the enrollment for the Batch C scheme of the N-Power Programme has been extended to August 8.

The enrollment exercise started on June 26.

This was disclosed by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar-Farouq, on her Twitter handle on Sunday night, adding that over five million applications have been received for the scheme.

The Federal Government plans to enrol 400,000 applicants in the Batch C scheme.

It would be recalled that some N-Power beneficiaries who are about to exit the programme held a rally at the National Assembly Complex last week, asking the Federal Government to employ them as well as pay them a grant of N60,000 each.

However, the minister, while providing an update on the development, said: “I received the news of a protest at the National Assembly by N-Power Batch A and B beneficiaries who presented a list of demands which we are reviewing and will address as practically possible.

“Let me reiterate that the exiting of Batch A and B is not punitive but as a means of providing an opportunity for their brothers and sisters to also access the programme. Batch A and B beneficiaries remain our pride and worthy ambassadors.

“One month after the portal opened for Batch C applications, we are happy to announce that we have received over 5m applications underlining enthusiasm for the programme.

“In a bid to extend the opportunity to all Nigerians and ensure it is truly inclusive, the portal will close at midnight on August 8th, 2020.”

The N-Power Programme is a major component under the National Social Investment Programme of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Nairaland / General / South-east Governors Fix Date To Unveil Regional Security Outfit by Rolexjerry(m): 8:28am On Jul 27, 2020
SOUTH-EAST GOVERNORS FIX DATE TO UNVEIL REGIONAL SECURITY OUTFIT

The governors of the South-East have fixed a
date to unveil a security outfit for the region
which will tackle the high level of insecurity in the
zone.
According to the Chairman of the forum and
Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi, all
stakeholders would be carried along and the
necessary arrangements for the take-off of the
outfit would be made available in due time.
Briefing journalists on Sunday after a virtual
meeting of the forum alongside other Igbo
leaders in Abakaliki, Umahi on behalf of his
colleagues noted that the date of unveiling and
name of the security outfit would be made
known to the public during the South-east
Governors' Forum next meeting.
He said after unveiling the outfit, the
commissioners for Justice of the different South-
east states would finalise a draft bill for passage
into law by each state's Houses of Assembly to give legal backing to the security outfit.
Umahi said while the Second Niger Bridge would
be completed and handed over in 2022, the
August 30 completion deadline for Enugu airport
was still on course.
The Igbo leaders commended President
Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to the
speedy completion of the Second Niger Bridge
and the Akanu lbiam International Airport, Enugu.
Umahi, who expressed optimism that the two
major projects would be completed as
scheduled, said they would interface with the
federal government to seek funding for the
rehabilitation of the eastern coridor railway line.
