Funny thing is, I see this "white wedding" as Westerners traditional wedding. So I see no reason why I have to do our own traditional wedding and do theirs as well (I'm not against anybody that decides to).
I was lucky enough to marry from a family who's head is a General Overseer of a Church and the only thing the man insisted on doing is the (Yoruba) traditional wedding and a church blessing, on the same day o.

Business / Re: Banks To Pay N10,000 Fine For Failed Transaction Not Reversed Within 24hrs by shevon: 2:11pm On Sep 18, 2018
shikshark:
This will be nice if implemented infact the fine is supposed to be 50k, bank can turn u to slave within five minutes telling you to bring this and that and at the end of the day it will still not suffice, ive seen a woman raking out of a bank........UBA, saying" if war is going to start in Nigeria, it will start from the bank" one can imagine the level of frustration shes been subjected to.

Meanwhile, what percentage will be given to the customer because i know some banks that will pay up to ten millon per day on fines because of their quack banking services.
And you would be surprised how stupid some of the excuses they give are. I remember sometime in 2017 when someone sent me 220k and 2hours later, I was yet to get the credit. I walked to GTB only for them to tell me the fund was blocked because my account was yet to get such an inflow in the past; I, out of annoyance, started shouting at the bank asking them to check how much I receive as salary every month and to particularly confirm that the 220k is more than the 3.6m I received a few months before that day, into the same account o. To make matters worse, they insisted that I get the person that transferred the money to call them to confirm he really made the transfer to me. That got me so pissed I almost pulled the girl's wig off her head. They only closed it out when a manager came out and I explained what the challenge was.
It can be super crazy sometimes, I swear!
Travel / Re: The Cost Of Fueling A Plane From Lagos To London by shevon: 11:05am On Sep 14, 2018
Donald3d:
I have been very inquisitive about air travel lately. This took me on a journey to actually find out how much it costs to fuel planes.
In this article, we would be using a Boeing 747 as reference and data (cost of aviation fuel) provided by IATA (International Air Transport Association).We would be calculating how much fuel would be consumed on a flight from Lagos (MMA) to London (Heathrow).
First, let’s get some parameters right

Distance between the two airports :
Approx. 5,006 Km

Time taken for the journey :
6 hours 35 mins , which is equal to 395 mins

Cost of aviation fuel :

According to IATA, it costs 211.23 cts/gal
cts/gal is a term used in aviation,it means cents per gallon.
Lets convert this figure to ₦/litre
Lets use 360 per $
One dollar is 100 cents
211.23 cents = 2.11 dollars
To Naira = ₦759.6
This figure is per gallon
1 Gallon is approx. 3.79 litres
That means its costs ₦759.6 per 3.79 litres
That gives us ₦200.42 per litre

Quantity of fuel used for the journey :
The Boeing 747 uses about 12 litres per kilometre
Remember we are travelling 5,006 Km
That’s 60,072 litres consumed from Lagos to London
Let’s covert that to Naira
Remember it costs ₦200.42 per litre
That brings the total cost of fuel to travel from Lagos to London to ₦12,039,630.24!!

Noticed any error ?
Kindly indicate.
And don’t forget to share !!

The only concern I have with your calculation is the exchange rate applied. Let's assume the payment for the fuel in Nigeria is made in USD, I doubt people in the Aviation industry would source the foreign currency in the blackmarket. Since they would get it via official channels, I guess the rate will be less than N350/$;official rate is about N305/$ (I guess)

So, did they drag at the counter before they sat down to fill their stomach? If no, then the story na fàbú.

I really don't understand why people still buy expensive data and complain about it. I pay N9,500.00 for unlimited internet at home and N1,000.00 for Glo 2GB that I can use while in transit to and from work; so why would I need to pay so much for MTN data?

kaluxy007:
199.2million for 498 cartons??
Meaning the cost of one carton is 400,000naira. So how much is one bottle??
2000naira? at cost price o not retail

You people should tell another lie,am not impressed undecided

My brother, I am confused too. Even going by this your calculation (which assumes that a carton contains 200 bottles) it is still too expensive for the so-called "poor" people to afford such a "cheap" high.

Wait o,
N199.2m for 498 cartons of Codeine =N400k a carton;
if: 1 carton contains 50 bottles
therefore: 1 bottle = N400k/50 = N8,000.00
check: 498 cartons * 50bottles = 249,000 bottles
249,000 bottles * N8,000.00 = N199,200,000.00

So, based on this news, 1 bottle of Codeine na N8k ($21 based on N368 aboki rate) and they say na poor people dey drink am yet Nigeria is the poorest country in the world where the poor live on less than $2 per day?

2. Avoid keeping foot on the brake

It imposes drag on the automatic car when you rest your foot on the gas pedal. That will accordingly impact on fuel economy. According to How Stuff Works, keeping your foot on the gas would place an unnecessary burden on the transmission and engine. What’s more, it will wear out the brakes quickly.

Source: https://naijauto.com/car-maintenance/6-fuel-saving-tips-for-automatic-drivers-188

Point 2 says to keep foot away from break, but the explanation says one's car drags when one keeps foot on the gas pedal, then goes on to say keeping foot on gas pedal will burden the transmission and engine and also wear out the breaks.
I am not understanding.
