The more reason you should understand that watches are here to stay, because like i said, a watch is much more than just a means of telling time, it is an important element of style.

Wise man, but he failed to tell you guys what knocked it into coma, but I'd tell you

SMART PHONES

smartphone kill a good number of things we grew up to know...

Calendar
Calculator
Wristwatch
Box radios
Organizer
Alarm clock
Newspapers
Torchlight
Psp

DVD is in comatose state now, can you imagine that the entire seasons and episodes of GOT, I didn't watch a single minute on my wall TV, right now nobody really gives a flying fvck whether the battery of the wall clock in the sitting room is dead or living... grin

Smartphones even tried to contest with Lappy but dem no born am well, at least not yet...

Smartphones is the future, soon if you can't advertise goods and services digitally then forget it, u nor go sell..
Agree with most but watches are a fashion statement and always have been...plus they are still way more convenient to use.

Watches will always be around as long as mankind remains interested in style.

Thats a viper. The shape of its head says it all. A deadly snake.
And that's most likely correct. However I'm not certain because most vipers usually have a patterned skin and this one is all black.

Boa constrictors also have that triangular shape of head but I doubt we have then here.

My last theory, this could have been a cobra and maybe it's head is just swollen from too much beating lol.

Travel › Re: Should I Move To The UK Or Return To Nigeria? by SmartyPants(m): 1:31am On May 14, 2019
ShyWhale:
I am a Nigerian in Germany with a German Masters degree. It's quite difficult to get professional jobs in Germany as an African as we are usually the last of the pack. The only luck I ever had was to get internships, internships that takes several months to get and usually only for short periods. The high percentage of Africans even with German Phds doing menial jobs is highly discouraging and depressing. Most are trapped in the race for survival and I can't imagine myself living life like them. I feel I could do better with my skills and education that spreads across Europe's top countries.

I made the decision to return to Nigeria, harness my skills and start up a processing company. At 25 and the sole breadwinner of an extended family, they are asking me to stay put, saying that the Nigerian environment is not good for business (I feel they are only scared of losing out on the goodies they get from me).

Also last year, the family introduced me to a female in the UK, talking about marriage to her. The said lady is a Nigerian within my age range, but born and raised in the UK. Though I have been to the UK severally to see her, I have made no commitments whatsoever as she is not the kind of lady I would marry all things being equal. She and the family have however given me a ultimatum to decide now.


What do you advice?
Your options could include an African country other than Nigeria though. How about that?

Nbote:
Why won't d NFF concentrate on having him for d AFCON.. He's by far d most impressive winger Nigeria has got at d moment based on form and appearances dis season. Imagine having him and Onyekuru up front in attack
So far he has not been used much by the senior eagles so rather than starting from the bench in what is more or less seen by Europeans as a third rate competition, I rather he gets exposure against some of the world's future best.

You would not argue with me for example that the 2005 under 20 world championship was more instrumental in Mikel's career than the African Nations Cup of the next year where he started from the bench.

Crime › Re: 7 Kano Airport Officials Who Plant Drugs On Passengers' Luggage Caught (video Up by SmartyPants(m): 1:18pm On Apr 26, 2019
Malawian:
Watch some videos bro.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0HAmUTcpLk

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1553877/Baggage-handler-caught-camera-stealing-luggage-airport.html

Now these ones are merely stealing and they aren't even in Nigerian airports, but you can see they accessed the passengers luggage. Imagine the black hearted ones who decides like mosquitoes to deposit stuff on their way out.
Please listen more than respond.

The first video does not play but the remaining three show the same incident, and in that case the person was videoed stealing in the process of loading, that is at the port of departure, as i have said several times before.

In all my replies i have maintained that it is possible to do this from the port of departure. Yes they can easily access your bags once you've checked them in as the bags are in their custody, and out of your sight for a significant enough period of time.

But it is different at the port of entry/destination because the bags are unloaded immediately the plan lands, and taken directly to the baggage claim. The baggage is unloaded so fast that in most cases, it gets to the baggage claim even before passengers get through airport security.

What does this mean?

Petty theft is still possible upon arrival, but the chances of an unloader having all the time he or she needs to search for any particular bag and then to rummage through it without getting caught are very slim. Meaning this method is not viable for organized crime.

You have other unloaders and other airport staff present while you unload from the cargo hold, so you can't do it in front of them. The bags are then transported on a vehicle straight to the baggage claim where, again there are usually a number of people around. This method of transport would fail 90% of the time.

The process described by others is far more likely, where a separate bag with an innocent person's name tag is loaded on the plane and then surreptitiously picked by someone else at the airport.

Malawian:
Who unloads the luggage? Evil spirits or baggage handlers? I think you should google YouTube videos about baggage handlers searching baggages in their care, you will see enough.
It's one thing to open up people's baggage at the port of origin but quite another to do so at the destination. Most violation of baggage happens at the port of origin. While the bags are unloaded by handlers, yes, but it's done in such a way that almost the entire team of handlers would have to be in on the crime. How easy would it be to arrange such a syndicate?

Athena4:
Members of their cartel(usually involved in luggage handling) at the other side are contacted and given the flight details, luggage color/type and of course THE NAME TAG TO LOOK OUT FOR. While offloading luggage from plane, said member proceeds to locate bag and the illegal stuff before it gets to the arrival area of the airport.(This takes quite a while) Sometimes they can't find it and the luggage gets the attention of giant sniffer dogs at arrival entrance.Drugs are found , owner gets in trouble. Criminal staff realizes fuckûp but oh well.. better the passenger than him/ her right?.
Is there any verified instance of this happening? Seems like a risky and illogical way to transport contraband. If indeed there was a cartel operating between airports, then they wouldn't need to put anything passengers bags... They could simply load the contraband onto the plane in bags of their own... It's much more secure and you have less chances of losing your merchandise that way.. So why take the risk of putting it in a passengers bag and potentially losing it?
Crime › Re: 7 Kano Airport Officials Who Plant Drugs On Passengers' Luggage Caught (video Up by SmartyPants(m): 12:09am On Apr 26, 2019
Malawian:
If the security is lax on the day, their contaparts on the other side could retrieve the drugs before the passenger gets the luggage. On the day the security is tight, they might not have the chance to retrieve the drugs, and then the yawa go gas for your head. Okay assume this, a first time traveller carries drugs on his person to Saudi Arabia, who does he know he is going there to sell them to? Will he open shop over there when he gets there?
doesn't add up to me. Once the plane lands, luggage is unloaded straight to the baggage claim, and usually gets there even before the passengers themselves. Baggage claim is always an open area with lots of people about...there is no time for anyone to sift through all that luggage to find a particular bag they have not seen before, and then to search the bag for what they're looking for, and more importantly, the bags don't go to a secluded place. So really, bags can only be tampered with at their port of origin but not at the destination...which means there could be no possible end game for the alleged airport accomplices.

Blue3k:
Im going to follow this case. I still have my doubts. I think its more likely these guys work with these drug mules getting caught. If its this easy to get drugs on plane then money laundering and weapon smuggling would be too easy.
moreover...after planting the drugs...what next? Will the drugs automatically find their way to the dealer on the other end? unless your goal is purely to setup the passengers, then why would you deposit drugs in their luggage when you have no way to recover said drugs when they eventually arrive?

pazienza:
Aiyegbeni is from Edo state, while Ighalo and Osimhen are from Edo state too. Is it coincidence that he is praising and recommending the duo? cry

Anyway. I agree with him on Ighalo, but not on Osimhen. Scoring against some underage Libyan farmers doesn't make one a good enough striker for the senior team.
And Onuachu is also from Edo?
