The fact that the house owner had to legally fight Dana is instructive.

"Aviation insurance" is just a catchword.
There are various kind of aviation insurance with different degrees of policy coverage.

Aviation insurance is always comprehensive,most especially when it is civil.
The insurance covers the Aircraft,the Passengers and crew and the Damages done on the ground.
The premium are paid in dollars and usually underwrite by international insurance conglomerate.
There is something fishy about that particular incident,there is something they are trying to cover up for government to move in and take responsibility for something completely out of their orbit

You Are A Hired Assassin, If You Dress Seductively To Church — Pastor Mike Bamiloye

Founder and president of Mount Zion Drama Ministry and Mount Zion Television, Pastor Mike Bamiloye, has said that people who dress seductively to church are hired assassins, IgbereTV reports.

According to Bamiloye, if you dress to kill, dance suggestively to worship songs, purposely dance to slay, then you are probably an hired assassin.

That is not how insurance work.
They don't cover every damages, they cover the
specific ones covered by the specific policy.

If there is any insurance at all, it will be life insurance for the pilot
and maybe another on the crashed helicopter.

Go and find out about aviation insurance,if you are still confuse read more about Dana crash at iju and the legal battle one of the house owners had with Dana and their Insurer.

Earlier thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/6085336/sanwo-olu-visits-helicopters-crash-site

Recall that when Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu visited the crash site of last Friday helicopter crash at Opebi, he had promised to repair the fence destroyed by the crash. See photos as repair work is being done

How this take concern government is what I don't know,that chopper has an insurance,the insurance company should be the one responsible for everything and all things connected to the accident.
That property owner would have gotten better cash from the company and that money would have come in dollars as well.

Truth is we overate educational qualifications in this part of the world. I have been living in Canada for sometime now and have worked for a number of companies, none has ever asked me for my certificate. Just prove you know what they needed you to do. If you apply with your PhD for a job in Canada, it is very likely you may not get it...get on the job with a lesser qualification first, then prove the rest later. The koko is to earn a living wage.

For a migrant.
But for a native citizen is a huge advantage,how many òyìnbó dey go school?
No be Asian's and Africans full their schools from Europe to North America?
If you study to the level of Msc as a native citizen,you will get a good job placement at multinationals or Government agancies.

You just alluded to my first comment that bulk of those names are ghost workers.

pocohantas:
I have to agree to this. How do you go visit your man in an LDR. You haven’t seen him in months, you get there and you can’t prepare ordinary noodles. Next thing is to start giving him 1k to buy you food. Such disrespect! That is enough to make any man flip. Let alone one that is financially disadvantaged.

I am not saying her bf is any better, but both of them need to reevaluate their Articles of Association.

Independent woman no mean say make you carry chair sit for your man head. There is a time for everything.

Relationship should be symbiosis not parasitic,
The earlier we all realizes that the better for all of us

ikorodureporta:
Do you know how many others hid their qualifications just to be selected??
Atimes, due to age limit, intimidating qualifications, & salary , those PhD are never given average jobs of abt N50k -N90k salary.
I have a friend with 2 masters degrees with distinction, & running a PhD program, but jobless!

If the govt feel they're overqualified, then they should be extracted to other jobs

Obviously you have not read the scope of the job.
You think say na better job abi?
make person dey pack gutter dey clear bush,na that one be work for a PhD holder?
A BSC holder with self worth won't venture into that.
I will rather fry puff puff by the road side

Localchampion:
I'm really confused about my boyfriend if hes worthy of getting married to.
We are in a long distant relationship, we hardly see, sometimes thrice in a year, but I believe the reason we are still together is because its a distant relationship, as each time I go to Enugu to greet him and stay for 2weeks, my love for him is always reduced.
So much this time around, we haven't seen for a year, and I had something important to do in Enugu, so I decided to stay in his place and use the opportunity to greet him. The first 4days, we were totally fine with each other, as I was busy with doing the stuff I came to do. Meanwhile, I didn't spend his money, as I came with my money and give him money to buy me food, so for the first 3days he was the one buying the cooked foods we ate, but I would give him 1k. Naturally, I don't eat outside, nor do I eat junks, but because he said he doesn't have money, I just pitied him and did not mention the fact that he should get foodstuffs, I don't want him to start feeling bad that he has no money plus I was even busy, remember I came for a purpose. And I don't use it as attitudes for him, I'm a very happy enduring lady.

Now after the fourth day that I finished the program I originally came for, I lost my money, about 150,000, truth is when I'm sad, im usually harsher, and would not talk much, would become exessively quiet, because if I talk, I may start to cry, this is when problem started between us, he acted unconcerned about my predicament, I just ignored him, trying to see how I can get back my money. And the truth is, if I get the money, I will surely give him part of the money, there's no time I will make money and not give him. So for like two days, I was in depression due to my money, I didnt sweep, I was just sighning, and not cheerful to him, the next day afterwards, was when he bursted, and started talking
1. He said I'm useless to him
2. He compared me with other people's girlfriend, how they take care of their boyfriend, how they cook for them, cook extremely homey food for them.
3. He said his friends couldn't visit him because I'm in his house, and thus hes missing because the fact that I'm in his house I'm useless, not doing anything for him, and yet his friends couldn't come.
4. He said his cousins girl did this and that.
5. He said I'm talking of marriage, he said what is he marrying, he said when I'm not even showing any readiness bla bla bla
6. He said I should look at his house, does it look like a girl is there, he said his friend told him that since I'm around now, his cheeks would become bigger, and in his mind, he knew he would only grow thinner.
7. He said I should leave his house first thing tomorrow morning, since I'm not useful.
8. He said at this point, hes confused, if i want to break up, I should just let him know, because what is the point of our stay together
He said just too many hurtful things and those are the ones I could remember.
I was able to record some of those things, so I can relisten to them later. But he collected my phone and deleted all I recorded.

All through, I was just quiet and smiling because I don't even know where to start replying him and he was very serious, his face was in a fight mood, I don't wanna talk because I really don't like problems or fight. Then later, he said I must say something, he seized my phone, and almost made me loose a deal.

I just kept quiet, later when I started talking, he denied having said USELESS, something he mentioned more than twice and apologized swiftly.

All his accusations were wrong because the reason I didn't cook is because he has no single food at home and hes the one always complaining he has no money, so I just taught that, I wouldn't make my stay to disrupt his life, he knew I hate eating outside, and the fact that we buy food is something I am enduring, because the foods makes me nauseated each time I eat them. He knows how much i cook for him when he comes visiting me, I will cook several things, what I can't even eat myself due to financial problems, I am the one always fighting him to cook that Junks are unhealthy. But just because I was pitying him, I didn't bring up the idea of cooking, he accused me of being useless, he said I'm the one to bring up the idea as a girlfriend, bla bla bla.

Later that day, I brought the idea and he gave me 5k to the market, I cooked and did everything. I didn't buy a single food I could eat (I don't eat pasters), because the money isn't enough, so I just bought foods he likes and made a nice sauce. His friend came visiting, I packed foods for her and did normal. His friend called him to relate how I treated her, this is when my boyfriend started filling extremely happy, and thanking God for meeting me, saying nice things.

Since then, he has been saying stuffs of how much he's been gifted to have me bla bla bla, to me, whatever I have for him has greatly reduced, because I don't know the Essence of the relationship, because to him, its a roleship, where I must do my roles and if I miss, he won't even think why could I have missed it, if its intentionally, was it because I'm sad, the next thing he would be saying is if we should break up or not. Now, this is someone I never compared with anyone, I don't even compare people, I just do normal to him, like I will do to a brother, plan for him, etc, yet he compares me all the time and wants me to live like the other average girls that are using iphones.

I told him yesterday that since he wants a roleship, he would also man up, and for the first time in our 5years relationship, I started behaving like the normal girls, I asked him for money to make my hair, he doesn't have, I asked him for money for cream, he doesn't have and he has been angry because I told him I don't care whether he has money or not, since I must do my roles, he should also do his roles, and for the first time I also compared him and told him what men are doing for their girls.

He has been frowning and sad since I said those words to him, because they are deep, I just served him exactly what he did to me. I'm not happy, I'm doing that to him, I'm even sad I'm telling him all these because this is not me. I'm still going to make him realize how useless he is in my life, absolutely useless, and that is the truth, since he sees our relationship as a role one, then hes useless.

I can't marry him like this, God forbids, someone who can't endure due to the situation of things and understand, and he wants me to understand his own and endure for him, its not just possible for me, and he's good at talking, abusing, bullying, etc. Hes the one that will tell me to snap pictures for him, I will tell him I don't have clothes, he will say ''Go and Buy now'', He will bully me with my hair and compare it with that of other girls. He wasn't broke before the lockdown, but I didn't collect money from him because I want him to achieve and grow with the money, so that by the time we get married, he would be financially very okay.

Please should I marry this kind of Man? I really don't know why I should because it seems his happiness towards me, his affection and romance is dependent on fulfilling ROLES in his head.

From all these pettiness you stated here,I can't even date you.
You were coming to someone's home,your boyfriend's house for that matter and you expect to have all things free, (Feeding, Housing, Utilities and all you have) can you imagine that?
I know he's your boyfriend but people deserves a bit of respect and sympathy.
knowing fully well that he wasn't bouyant,the first thing you should have done was to make a good meal for the two of you,but instead you were giving the dude ₦1k as if you are giving handout to your ward.
You should have head to a paid accomodation For those period of time you were in town and see how much it will cost you
You are a leech who doesn't deserve to be pampered.

Even if they are to engage in other business, don't they need money to start up?
Some may even need the jobs as additional sources of income

No one with a PhD or Msc will apply to take up a job of street sweeper or bush/Drainage clearing at ₦20k a month

I'm 27 and a graduate. But I look so much like I'm still a teenager and it turning me to an introvert. And my voice isn't helping especially when I'm on phone. I wanted to start smoking weed for a thicker voice but someone told me that it doesn't work for everybody.

I was about to start using some stuffs for my beards to grow but I'm scared of the side effects. Do you know how I get a thicker voice in few days? Do you know how I could get beards in few days using organic combinations?

Please help I'll really appreciate it.

Good evening Nairalanders

I'm sorry for bringing up to this platform but is of necessity for me to bring it . I've been hearing it from people but I don't know how they do feel about it. I've heard stories about how a lady cheating on her guy and a man cheating, but all these stories I do see them as fantasy or something that is not real. I've heard about a lady killing herself because of her boyfriend and I've heard about a boy taking sniper because of a lady.

Recently, I was in love with a lady in my office and this lady she is 35 years of age, I am 37 years of age and I asked out, we started dating after a period of time, she told me about herself, after all in the place of her work, she has dated about three different persons that she had sex with them. People in the office do gossip about her because of how waryward life. They do call her prositute. With all that, I still love her.

Before I came on board, she told me about her neighbour and all what they've done like touching and kissing was the highest they have done and I said ok.

We started dating and working towards marriage. At a time, we got intimate. I never knew that she was still seen her neighbor. She do go to his room to charge her phone. I never knew that they were having sex and she was having sex with me. she always claim that I'm the only person she is having sex with but I have this kind of feeling that she is cheating on me. I do always argue and challenged her faithfulness and at the end, she will put up a defensive mode accusing me that I didn't trust her.

Some days ago, when i challenged her with evidence of cheating. She confessed to me about how she and her neighbour been having sex and I was heartbroken, that night, I slept in a house I couldn't get it, I never knew that I love her so much, that was a period I knew that I was deeply in love with her. I feel like dying, I feel like everything is over. I love her so much, I want to marry her. Few days ago, I travelled to meet with my parents and discussed my marriage issues with them, I told my girl about it but she didn't blive. With all these, she didn't feel remorseful. I wish I had never met her. I am in pain.. What should I do? I am a confused man now.


Please move to front-page. I will appreciate it. Thanks.

Need Your Prayers On My New Adventure

Hello guys I don't want to bore you with a long epistle, I recently came back from service (nysc) and found my guys those that didn't even go to school buying lands n building for themselves structures especially the ones riding okada. Most of them do have savings of 10k weekly aside other expenses like feeding,rent etc despite having wife/girlfriends n children.

Though I learnt mason work before going to the university but mason work is seasonal especially during the raining season, have been at home for almost 3wiks doing nothing just spending the little savings I had from service.

With that been said I decided to get myself a bike with the remaining money I have pending on when things sterblize (federal/state job or when HV gathered enof Moni for business). If those with family can save 10k weekly, I think I can save 15k weekly since am single and still staying with my parents. I prayed to God for direction Sha but hope my decision isn't bad?

A lil prayer for me won't be bad

That is what I call definition of a real Man.

Ekaso y'all. I'm an American white guy married to a wonderful Yoruba lady. We live in America.

My wife is travelling for work 4 days out of 7 the last two weeks. When she came home last week, I put on a suit and took her out to a fancy restaurant to let her know how incredibly happy I was to have her home.

This week, I want to surprise her again - she's expecting the suit, so I thought I might go with my buba and agbada instead. I have one from our wedding and another that she bought me for general fancy occasion wear.

I've only ever worn this kind of dress to local events with lots of Nigerians (birthday party, wedding) and once to a friend's wedding. I haven't ever used it for something like a dinner date. I have a general sense (from growing up here) of when it's right and not right to put on a suit, but I have no clear idea of what occasions are ok/not ok for a buba and agbada.

Should I pick up my wife at the airport tomorrow for a dinner date in Nigerian formal dress?

Photo used for illustration

Turn up at the dinner with your Buba And Sókótó with Gobi (cap) to complement
Don't wear the Àgbàdá,It is meant for bigger occasions like the one's you mentioned earlier.
Your Buba And Sókótó with the cap is apt for the dinner occasion.

Talking from experience as a fleet manager:

This is absolute madness, you could have just told new entrants not to even think venturing into the business..this may obviously not be a problem for uber and bolt, but if this eventually has a ripple effect on the drivers via increase of service commission, they can kiss their ass goodbye from Nigerian fleet managers whom are the power house of the ride-hailing companies, of which many are pulling out in droves today..

- Total purchase of a (non-rusted) regular corolla including registrations and starter pack/kit - 2m
- Average income /week (full time) - N100,000
- minimum Fueling/week - N30,000
- Commission remittance (currently) - N25,000
- average e-hail coy commission - 25% - N25,000
- Drivers earning 20k or less per week for being 112hrs on the road out of 168hrs, that is terrible but everyone is trying to survive..

- Fleet managers take home/week - (N25,000)..
Monthly sum - (N100,000)

inevitable expense projections:
Service - (N8,000 monthly)
- Monthly tire change projection (used) (N7,000)
- Monthly repairs projection (dollar rise in parts) - (15,000)
- Fines/levies/impound/tolls provision - (5,000)
- Driver short pays and run-aways - (5,000) or could cost you a whole week if not two.
- Logistics, tracking & follow ups - (5,000)
- Monthly Comprehensive insurance - (7,000)

Average monthly income after deductions - N50,000(madness).. e.g with N10m(5 cars) you barely make 250k monthly on a depreciating asset you dont control prices neither do you have the final decision.(who is that stupid?)

Vehicle replacement - 2m/N50,000 = 40mths (if it's a full-time business, it's impossible to save 100% of that income..4 years approx with all things being equal is almost impossible for a car virtually 18hrs on the road.. it may encounter major accidents, engine change, gear box change, AC issues during the period which does not just cut down massively on the capital recovery or wipe it all out, but inturn increases the capital recovery period of the vehicle aswell, well beyond the projected 40mths..

With this projections alongside increase in dollar /fuel which directly affects repair cost, reduces returns drastically, coupled with the shrinking economy that reduces riders, who in his right senses would remain in such business if a service charge is increased that affects both fleet managers and drivers?..

We go all carry gun las las... bye

I was very kind and told him there is zero interest here so i wouldnt want to waste his time. He told me I should quit the job or accept him and he will increase my salary.

I told him to give me a week to think about it.

What should I do?

A week to think about it means you will start sleeping with him at the expiration of that date.

Real quick!
I have a uncle in the UK who is a citizen and he assured me that if I can change my surname to his, he will fly me over to the UK.

I'm a 300L student studying economics here in Nigeria, and my name is ... ( This is the name I have in all my documents) and the surname my uncle want me to change to is 'Richard' so after changing my name it will look like this "Dayo Richard".

I want to apply for a change of name (to address the surname)

After doing the change of name I want to also apply for my National Identification Registration with (NIMC) which definitely I will have to do a new Birth Certificate with my new name.

Now my problem is this :
Will the change of surname affect my travelling documents if I want to apply for a visa, since the surname I have on my academic documents is different from my new surname?

What do you think I can do to balance everything?

Thanks

It might look simple but it will get complicated at a point,I know change of name is allowed under the law,what if he changes his mind midway?
What if things don't run perfectly smooth?
I suspect he might want to bring you into UK via EEA family Visa,though UK is out of Europe now but majority of agreement and treaty still subsist.
Change of name for a male is like starting your life allover again, things won't be the same again most especially when it was done for ulterior motive like this.
Think twice bro
