Travel / Re: I Need A Serious Advice Concerning Uk by samoyin(m): 6:24pm On Sep 28, 2011 |
I guess the best thing your brother should do is to take the risk, go for his studies in the Uk. He must leave his business in good hands and really concentrate on his studies if he really wants to make the best of this opportunity. If your brother is the industrous type he could make the best of his stay in UK. I am optimistic that he would not regret his decision to grab the opportunity. Cheers. |

Politics / Re: Muslim Group Condemns Jos Bomb Blasts by samoyin(m): 9:52am On Dec 28, 2010 |
The Lord will fight our battle while we hold our peace,this makes me baffle, can God approve a religion waste peoples lives and damn the consequence of killing a soul they cannot create. All I know is that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. For my own God is a Consuming Fire. God Knows how to handle such cases. They have all the lethal weapons, we have a God who is a Cunsuming Fire, the Creator of heaven and earth, it often leaves me in doubt if we really serve the same GOD. My own God teaches love and not to take lives we cannot create. People who do this have no regard for GOD and He will never lower His standard for them. Just watch out the Consuming Fire in ACTION. We would hold our peace. SELAH! |

Travel / Re: Travel Insurance Cost by samoyin(m): 10:07am On Nov 30, 2010 |
@babsharon I would strongly advise you visit AIICO insurance, UNITRUST on Ajose Adeogun (same building with Standard Chartered Bank) I have used the later a couple of times, the price vary from about N2500 depending also on duration of stay. The insurance you pay for must cover your duration of stay, so the longer your stay the higher the Travel insurance cover required. They will give your insurance for any Country you may wish to get. Cheers! |
Travel / Re: Travel Agent/consultant.(information Needed) by samoyin(m): 9:56am On Nov 30, 2010 |
@senolistic Goodmorning fellow Nairalanders, Schools I know that could give you a good training in preparation of Travel Consultancy career are among other FRONTIER AVIATION TRAINING SCHOOL on Glover Road,Ikoyi by Goldengate restaurant and LANDOVER AVIATION on Simbiat Abiola way, Ikeja, they prepare you for your carrier which involves various IATA certification stages. Another thing you must aim to be very good with practical use of GDS,as a matter of fact I will advise that you take a Amadeus training first, then attend others, Sabre, Galileo etc, please I would advise any intending agent not to leave out AMADEUS training as this is a widely accepted and highly user friendly. Also I would advise that for every operation you intend to partake in the Travel agency business, make sure you are registered with CAC, and get the consultant that will take you from IATA accreditation process, NANTA membership, NCAA. This gives you some form of credibility. NB:PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND ANY AVIATION SCHOOL WHERE YOU ARE NOT TAKEN THROUGH PRACTICAL TRAINING ON INTERNET ENABLED COMPUTER, WHICH IS THE MAIN WORK TOOL. Cheers! 2 Likes |
Family / Is There Hope For The Baren (childless Homes)? by samoyin(m): 1:38pm On Nov 05, 2010 |
Its time to share strong points bringing hope to childless home. There are strong indications that the issue of barrenness brings problem in happy homes and families. Considering the mind of GOD on this issue, I would like to encourage all those affected that there is HOPE, since there is life, then there is HOPE for the BARREN. Causes may be numerous, from physical, medical, spiritual and just name it. God is not limited by whatever the cause may be, Known or unknown to man. You cannot say you want to have a child in the family and put GOD aside, remember you cannot help GOD, Children are GIFTS from GOD. Position yourself to have it you dont need to buy it, it is a GIFT. Not from man it is from GOD, the LORD of Lords. With men of course they may say, oh it is not possible, well your case is closed, even the Doctor in his professionalism may give you a negative update as to why you cannot get a GIFT from GOD. Yes the Dr. has given you an update based on his own findings and from his experience over the years. You may have been told that you have no hope, that you should even settle for adoption of a child. Just be optimistic about the AWESOMENESS of this GOD, have you heard that with men it is impossible BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. So irrespective of what some people have told you above, will you believe GOD or MAN? Please answer yourself, answer meditatively before you proceed. You do not need to go to any SPIRITUALIST. All you need is to above all believe GOD what HE says. Make your way right with GOD. Do not tell HIM all the good things you have been doing or how righteous you have been. Just HUMBLY SURRENDER your ALL to HIM. SURRENDER TO NO MAN. The Word of GOD says, 'Behold I am the LORD, the GOD of all Flesh: Is there any thing too hard for me?' Jeremiah 32:27 Please can you again answer the question your creator is asking you. It is a personal thing, SETTLE it with HIM, Make your way right with HIM by surrendering your all to HIM. He has sent Jesus as a point of contact to HARVEST all the benefits of having a relationship with HIM. Surrender your life to HIM, confess all your wrong doings to HIM, ask for Forgiveness and ask HIM to wash you by the BLOOD that was shed on the Cross of Calvary over 2000 years ago. Promise that you will NOT go back to those wrong doings. (Remember that you cannot stop by your human ability) Ask HIM to give you the GRACE to live a life pleasing to HIM, ask HIM to remove your name from the book of Death, and write your name in the book of LIFE. Invite HIM to come into your heart to become your LORD and SAVIOUR, In Jesus Name Thank HIM for forgiving you and answering you. Right their you become a Child of God and so you cannot be BARREN, and in 2 Corinthians 5:17, 'Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, He is a new creature:old things are passed away;behold all things are become new.' This implies that whatsoever had been the cause of your barrenness even if it is a medical, spiritual or physical defect,I assure you, that has been handled divinely be the decision you took, except you do not believe HIS WORD. So BELIEVE, ONLY BELIEVE. That means if your womb(uterus) had fibroid or any other defect that delayed your conception, well you now have a new womb(uterus), you can even go for another scan, it is no more there, because, 'have a all things are become NEW'. Says the WORD of GOD not mine, why because you have become a new Creature since you have taken the decision to give HIM your all. That also means if you were told that your fallopian tube was blocked or mistakenly cut in error during a major operation, just know that you now already have a NEW replacement in place by the GREAT PHYSICIAN. That means that if you had dreams that you are having children in the dreams not in the physical, that is no more the case because you are now a son or daughter of GOD, In John 1:12, 'But as many as received HIM to them gave HE power to become the SONS of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name.' You will have your child in the physical because you shall conceive and bring forth a child. This is settled in Heaven already, ONLY BELIEVE. He has said it that there shall be NO barren in the land. You cannot be barren only because GOD who created it said so. Do not allow the devil to short change you. Remember another indisputable fact, you were BORN so you cannot be BARREN. You will also conceive, even as a man your wife will conceive. You might wonder why you must go through this prayer all because you want to have a child. This is the reason, In Proverb 28:9, says, 'He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law(Word of GOD),even his prayer shall be abomination.' The prayer of a sinner is an ABOMINATION unto GOD, please take note of this, hence the need to take the decision to RECEIVE CHRIST first. Make your way right with GOD and HE will listen to your desire. The part that FAITH plays in all this is that you can move GOD by your faith as a NEW CREATURE in CHRIST. Faith simply means: False Evidence Appearing Real Hebrews 11:1 See yourself carrying your own child, even if the physical circumstances around you is showing the contrary. Do not be moved just as Peter saw the storm after walking on the sea to meet Jesus, he doubted and began to sink. HAVE AN UNWAVERING FAITH. Take a step you have never made before, just decide between you and your spouse in LOVE, what gender do you prefer? Male of Female, If you have sent your wife parking for childlessness, I strongly plead with you to call her back, today. If you are planning to do that please cancel that decision. Follow these CALL to ACTION and tell me if it does not work. I know GOD cannot lie HIS WORDS are always TRUE, FOREVER. Have you heard that THE WORD OF GOD CANNOT COME BACK TO HIM VOID UNTIL IT HAD ACCOMPLISHED WHAT HE SENT IT TO DO. Position yourself and grab your PROMISE OF A GIFT OF A CHILD FROM HIM. Read first book of Samuel in the Holy Bible. Remember that Hannah the mother of Samuel requested for a MALE child and she got it. YOU CAN choose the child you want, as a SON and DAUGHTER of GOD. Your case cannot be different, TELL GOD the one you want, it is the same GOD who gave Samuel to Hannah, that will give you your preferred baby. Go to the market and buy those baby things for the gender you prefer, and I tell you, you will conceive and bare a baby just because you took a step of faith after mending your ways with GOD. No power can STOP you from getting the GIFT that GOD has for all newly or long married couple who are seeking for a child the JOY of a home. DO NOT SETTLE FOR LESS, take a decision and SURRENDER to HIM TODAY. I REJOICE WITH YOU IN ADVANCE, BECAUSE I KNOW THE GOD I SERVE. |

Travel / Why Use Nigerian Debit Cards For Local And International Air Tickets? by samoyin(m): 6:22pm On Nov 04, 2010 |
I am discussing this topic because I realise quite a number of people have decided to ignore the potentials of saving Air Travel cost by use of DEBIT cards, that is the following brands: Verve card E-tranzact Mastercard Naira (ATM) Please Avoid the use of your naira VISA cards for online local and other flights If you are a regular traveler, please get an Etranzact card from the merchant, OR have a designated account you intend using for only your travel expenses. Now lets assume you get an online N68,000 return tickets as earlier advertised by BA during the Golden jubilee promo. And Immediately you send on of your staff or you quickly lodge N69k in to your account which is linked to your VERVE of NAIRA Mastercard. And then you quickly get online to book the same fare follow the same procedure and eventually make online payment, immediately you have your e-ticket sent to your e-mail. You have saved money, Now some one who books same e-ticket at a later date may pay as much as N240k for the same class of tickets and mind you they will all seat in the same cabin and be given the same class treatment. Also it applies to a booking made now for Xmas you probably could get N12k return flight to Abuja and you quickly use any of the cards, shown above. And for the same flight and cabin a late booking may likely cost about N36k for a return flight. If you want to play safe, just open an account, it could be savings account it does not matter, only load it when you need to pay for a ticket. Do not tie such transactions to your main busy account. You save a lot of funds by paying online for your tickets. While of course playing safe by having a designated account for either your personal travel or your Company travel. This is really time to manage cost considering the present Global Economic trend. Most of these trips are INEVITABLE hence the need to take deliberate steps to cut cost to considerable limit without compromising standards. Hope to get more inputs on these points. BOOK AND PAY ONLINE TODAY. Cheers! NB:I have e-manuals that will give you step by step procedures of how to make our booking and pay online or pay same amount to the BANK and get the same result. Do not hesitate to get yours. |

Travel / Is It Right To Come Back Home If You Travel Abroad? by samoyin(m): 7:03pm On Nov 03, 2010 |
I hear a lot of youth say, once I jah out of Niaja, I will never come back again. That is the GREATEST mistake on can make in LIFE. You make your ability to Travel to other Countries of your choice slim. You can travel abroad and stay only if your Immigration status permits it,that ONLY if you are A resident in that Country, A student, Going to Join Your Spouse, have A work permit and so on. MY ADVICE: If you are able to acquire a Visa to Europe or America or any other part of the World as a VISITOR? Please go ahead and Travel, BUT make sure you return within the time you indicated you were going to return. ANY extension may expose you to possible repatriation, or VISA REFUSAL from other Countries. You Make Your International Passport the BEST in the World if you return when due. Now on your first trip you must do all your findings and research on how to either get an Admission, Work or Get other Immigrant benefits, to Legally stay in the Country. I should expect that before your first trip you should have gotten all the aim and objectives of Traveling out. Research and get all the opportunities in that Country as regards your interests, send all the necessary emails, make the calls and gather all your information. Now on arrival to the Country, just get to work, make all the necessary findings, meet your correspondence face to face, then get all the advise on how to LEGITIMATELY work towards your ambition. Stay AWAY from bad friends, even if you knew them when you were in Nigeria, if you discover that their actions are questionable, please stay CLEAR from such friends. Then you will return and this time Travel again within the validity of your Visa to firm your arrangement. Within a short time you would regularise your stay, then you can freely enter and leave your Host Country without stress. But Traveling as a Visitor and deciding not to return home when due is the WORST harm you can do for yourself. Do you know that during your visa processing your image was taken, your thumb print was also taken? Now trying to forge any name whatever when you abscond as a Visitor, then your original identity will sooner than you think be seen as your thumb print will give your original identity and then you would have put yourself in a big MESS. Avoid this do yourself a favour, Return Home From Your First Trip When Due. You arrange your stay overtime and make sure you are determined to do that. It is not done in a RUSH. Please inputs are welcomed. Cheers! |

Travel / Re: First Class Ticket On Local Routes by samoyin(m): 12:45pm On Oct 29, 2010 |
@suxes2005 First of all there are NO first class cabin on local flights, its a matter of some comfort and class all together, you get some sort of extra attention and treatment. The fare cannot be the same since you will have more attention that those in the economy cabin. But some as a marketing strategy may just fly the business class just to reach out to the high net-worth individuals who prefer staying away from the crowd. But for an hour flight is just really not worth it, except of course you can afford it, why not. Samuel |
Travel / Re: Do U Enjoy Flying? by samoyin(m): 6:52pm On Oct 28, 2010 |
I love flying, its right now as far as I am concerned the safest means of transport and it is faster. Now the few experiences I wouldn't like to remember, I was on one Lagos bound flight from Abuja one evening. As we approached Lagos, the pilot said,and I quote 'ladies and gentlemen we are approximately 50miles away from Lagos, and the weather condition reports, some slight storm in Lagos and the Control tower permits the use of one runway to monitor traffic inflow, as you know we have International flights are traffic also on queue, for now we are number 12 on the queue, not to worry in a short while we would take our turn for landing, meanwhile just sit back relax and enjoy the flight, thank you'. unquote. Now after about 30mins he now said we were number 5 on the queue for landing, meanwhile for most of the flight part of the flight there this fog not the weather,visibility was poor, though was not my first time flying but I find it strange, but we landed safely almost 55mins behind schedule. Another experience I was on a flight from Joburg just about two hours into the flight, we had info from the Captain after about 10min turbulence, no rain, no storm and no cloud was a very clear weather, saying, 'ladies and gentlemen we are experiencing what is known as clear turbulence which we would be flying through for sometime, and there is really nothing that can be done about it, you just sit back relax and enjoy the rest of the flight. Thank you', unquote. This was a day flight so that was even cool by me. We flew this turbulence for most part of the flight. On our approach into to Lagos we hovered just about 10min around Lagos airspace and finally landed SAFELY. The third experience,I was on flight from London Heathrow terminal 3, it was a night flight, after we all boarded and were all seated and waiting, there was no announcement until after about 40mins and then we where told that computer that was used in updating the passenger baggage CRASHED and so they had to offload and carry out the process MANUALLY the process really lasted, we eventually departed about 1.30min behind schedule. There is really nothing any passenger can do about it, the Captain cannot fly until he has at least an almost if not accurate weight he is about carrying. They do not compromise safety standards. While still on ground it was already wet and still drizzling, we took off and about an 1hr into the flight may because the the Captain knew that the weather was not looking good ahead, he didnt bother us with talking after take off. We already had our dinner at this time and we noticed the seat belt on, and we started the stormy turbulent trip for the next 4hours into the flight. Though the plane was a big Jumbo Jet 747, it was tossed as though it was a toy plane, it was not a pleasant experience at all, the flight crew tried switching on the entertainment device it was not stable and was no good, so had to switch it off for most part of the flight. It was morning as we approached Nigerian airspace and we eventually landed SAFELY amidst the so called clear turbulence. And for the first time all the passengers CLAPPED for the for the Captain and those who could not even say a word, could now talk and liaise with other passengers. In a situation like this the Captain needed absolute concentration with his team, he could really not make too much use of the Autopilot as he needed to really take some control. I would usually have any interesting novel to read or something and could not sleep during this flight, ordinarily I watch almost all the movies till I arrive my destination. I am sharing this experience because, as soon as you enter your flight just commit your trip to God and then sit back, relax and enjoy your flight , do you know that safety your journey by road and by air is not in your hand no matter how careful you might be. Be positive about your flight, Lord take control of this trip should be your trip and consider it done. Accidents happen and it is very far less by air. Once you are in the aircraft and the doors are shut, there is really nothing you can do about it, just be positive that you will arrive your destination.Period, Have you heard of the word, there is Power of Positive Thinking, think positive. The take off and landing are very important part of flying, have you noticed that the whole cabin is becomes silent. Normally I love sitting by the window watching the clouds, take off and landing, other planes afar off and watching small planes far flying below the much bigger planes. I would choose to fly any day and any time. This is very few instances considering my frequent flying. Always choose the closing word of the Captain as up there is really nothing you can do about it. Commit your trip to God, Road, Rail, Air, River or Sea. You have a pleasant journey. Traveling by road is a nightmare especially in my lovely Naija. Fear is simply [b]F[/b]alse [b]E[/b]vidence [b]A[/b]ppearing [b]R[/b]eal |
