Politics / Re: Amaechi Clarifies Narrow/standard Gauge Lines Controversy by Shayooluwah(m): 11:31am On Mar 16, 2021 |
SATANICALLY666: "The standard gauge which is at $11 to $14billion is 120km per hour, so if you take off with the standard gauge, say to Damaturu, you will arrive 20minute before me that used the narrow gauge." This is utter bullshit, and they take Nigerians for fools. Let's say you go from Enugu to Damaturu. According to Google, it's about 1017km by road. Let's just round it up to 1000km. Anybody that did Physics would know calculation with distance and time. At 120km/h it'll take you 8 hours 20 minutes. That is distance divided by speed. At 100km/h the same distance would take you 10 hours, a difference of 1 hour 40 minutes, and not 20 minutes. And you think someone in charge of transportation would know better. All these are just a bunch of silly excuses. |

Just bumped into this thread today. It's a bit of a coincidence because I'm learning Spanish. I know the basics, but I'm in need of a tutor. I tried Language exchange, but most people are not really down on helping. I know Dominicans speak Spanish. So if there's anyone on here that can help. Please reply. |

Music/Radio / Who Knows When This Song Was Released? by Shayooluwah(m): 4:24pm On Apr 16, 2019 |
When in need of information everyone resorts to Google. But Google has it wrong this time. Dear Nairalanders, who knows the year Kwam 1's song Solo Makinde was released. I searched Google and it's saying 2017. I know fully well it isn't correct cause I listened to it while growing up. I think the 2017 it indicated was when the digital copy was added. P.S I need the information for a project I'm working on.

Travel / Re: Everything You Should Know About The “black Box” Of An Airplane by Shayooluwah(m): 9:36am On Mar 29, 2019 |
Donchukz: Number one the system that would be needed to deploy the parachute system is very costly. Air travel is majorly about cutting costs. Secondly the ejector system required for each parachute would be too heavy as it'll require fuel and a propulsion system. The added weight would mean more money spent of fuel for the airline, hence it'll increase cost. Thirdly most passengers are not trained on how to handle emergency situations in the air let alone parachuting. I'm sorry something cocooning up the plane would have to be a force field or something like that, and that's still science fiction for now. And we are not there yet technological, by the time we are able to do that. I don't think we'll need airplanes for travelling anymore. |

laudate: You did not specify which inspection officers you were referring to. I know be spirit how I go know. And why do you presume the pizza has to be unaccompanied. Whoever paid for the order can also have a random Joe accompany his box of Pizza. Even if it means he has to pay a little more. There's no flawless agency in the world, British or Nigerian. Once you know the inner workings of the system you can bend it how you like. Despite what you believe it is still very do able for the people that have the means. Everyone is claiming the Minister is saying nonsense. My reason for defending him is, how do you know it's not true? You don't know everything that goes on in the country, someone from a vantage point now says something, but because it sounds improbable you begin to call him all sorts of names. Not nice No need to get angry. Shalom brother. 1 Like 1 Share |

laudate: You've got a point. But the people that I believe are indulged in such acts, do not care about money. The act in itself is penny wise and pound foolish. I mean why order a pizza for only God knows how much and still pay a hefty price for the transportation, when you can get it for less than 5k. Dominoes Pizza is not that bad na Baba. But then again they do not care about the monetary implication. As to food quarantine customs bla bla. This is Nigeria. If you know your way and have the means. You can basically get away with anything. That has been proven to us times without number. As to the condition of the pizza, leave that to the preference of the person who ordered it. I like that you mentioned a cooler can be used. I'll also like to point out that a fridge can also be used. If the person likes it fresh or not that's his business, if he liked fresh pizza he won't have been ordering it from a country a time zone away. And he can always warm it by the time he receives his not so fresh pizza. The point remains that ordering pizza from U.K to Nigeria is very possible, and I believe some money miss roads might be involved in the act. To buttress my point I'll add a personal experience. Back when I was still in Junior school, when pizza was not yet a big deal in Nigeria. A family friend returning from the U.S bought pizza before boarding their flight, they did not finish it, so they kept it. By the time they got to Nigeria and we had gone to visit them. They brought out the box of pizza warmed it and we enjoyed it. So tell me once again why some overly eccentric person cannot order a box of pizza and have it delivered to him in Nigeria. Shebi na him get him money. 1 Like 2 Shares |

NOC1: God bless you my brother. I don't know why some people choose to be so myopic about this whole thing. Nigerians are very eccentric people when they have the resources. Instead of reasoning with the man they decide to call the man all sorts of names, like they don't have a father at home. Is it so far fetched to buy pizza and put it on the first plane out of London? I'm sure that would not be the craziest thing a Nigerian would have done. 2 Likes |

Technology Market / Please Help. Custom Duty On Aliexpress Product. by Shayooluwah(m): 2:24pm On Nov 26, 2018 |
I need to know if this has happened to anyone of recent. I'm not new at buying things on AliExpress, my phone and other gadgets were all from there. I ordered a phone for my mum early November, it took longer than usual but it eventually came, the problem is that there is custom duty of 12k on it. The customs valued it at 70k, phone of 57k. 12k that's more than 15% of an hypothetical 70k. Anybody with similar experience? How did you solve it? |
