TravelAir Peace Rejects Uk's Deal, Wants Heathrow Or Nothing by SSpeter(op):
Air Peace has been offered a deal by the UK, to use its' Gatwick or Stansted Airport, both bases in London. However, the Nigeria's giant airliner declined the offer and stated that its' goal is Heathrow or nothing.

Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world and Air Peace wants to join the fierce competition since it has obtained its TCO which is an authorization to fly to the UK.

Both Gatwick and Stansted are among the busiest airports in the UK, but the CEO of Air Peace, Allen Onyema has rejected the dealing stating the BASA agreement. Mr Onyema also lamented that it took seven years for the UK to carryout its' audit and after the successful completion they want Air Peace to go to Gatwick.

Allen Onyema further stated that BA and Virgin Atlantic both uses Nigeria's primary airports which are MMIA and Nnamdi Azikiwe intl Airport.

The source of the information I am about to post is ResearchGate. And it is a repository for peer review scientific journals. I am posting it because you ask nicely.

What is synthetic milk made out of?

Synthetic milk is not milk but an artificial imitation of natural milk with a high degree of adulteration to increase the volume of milk and thereby the profit. Main components of synthetic milk are water, pulverized detergent or soap, sodium hydroxide, vegetable oil, salt and urea.

-ii
But you can see that from your response, you have answered your question. The "synthetic" milk that was described in the journal you read states that it is an imitation (it is not real milk). Now Milk bagged in large bags are neither synthetic nor adulterated. Some people talked about "industrial milk", milk used for further cooking processes are stated that such milk or cream are for dishes. Bagged powered milk are final products and are fit for consumption. How do you think arla imports full cream milk? It is in bags and they just refill into smaller sizes. grin

You actually don’t know difference between Full cream milk and Filled Milk.

You’d research a little bit.

Filled Milk powder is for broad poor masses. No one buy such for his kids if he’s after the nutritional value of milk.

Bro, take 5 mins and get the difference. If you’re bad in checking things up on google, go to any big Store and ask the attendant to explain the differences to yiu. You’d be glad you learn something.

It’s like buying those Indomie they sell in big bags, measured with cups and comparing it with normal noodles. You know what I meant.

I’ll be here later 👌
That is not true, when you have dishes that are high in fats, it makes no sense consuming whole milk if you can get filled or skimmed milk. People who are susceptible to high cholesterol will prefer skimmed milk. I don't want my daughters to get fat because they consume too much red meat and they love milk as well hence, I only buy skimmed milk at home. It is a matter of choice and health and not necessarily cash

What you tag industrial milk is not the finished powdered milk on the market. Industrial milks are not finished products and the manufacturer will state what/how you can use it in dishes. Packaged powdered milk are finished products for consumption

TravelThese Are 10 Nationalities With Most Denied Schengen Visas Per Capita In 2022 by SSpeter(op): 10:52am On Sep 07, 2023
Let us look at the countries with the most rejected Schengen applications per capita.

Cape Verde recorded the highest number of Schengen visa application rejections in 2022, with 844 rejections recorded for every 100,000 people, while the total number of applications filed by these nationals reached 17,572.

SchengenVisaInfo.com reports that 5,055 visa applications filed by Cape Verdeans were denied in 2022, representing 28.7 per cent of all applications filed, indicating that every third person in the country had received a visa application rejection in 2022.

Kosovo and Suriname follow the list as second and third countries with the highest visa application denied per capita, with 722 and 548 denials per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively. This means that every ninth Kosovar and fifth Surinamese has received a negative decision on their application, as the Schengen Statistics data reveals.

In addition, it is estimated that 11.2 per cent of Kosovo’s population was denied visas, accounting for 13,674 applications compared to 20.1 per cent of Surinamese nationals, totalling 3,416 applications.

Furthermore, the United Arab Emirates had 442 rejections per 100,000 people, while 22.4 per cent of the population were denied visas, indicating that every fourth person received a refusal in their application. In total, 42,105 applications filed by Emiratis were rejected in 2022.

The other three nationalities that followed next for the most rejected applicants include Algerians, Tunisians and Lebanese. In total, 393 visa applications were rejected per 100,000 people in Algeria, followed by 392 rejections recorded among Tunisian applicants and 340 among Lebanese.

In general, 45 per cent of the population in Algeria was denied visas in 2022, followed by 29 per cent of the Tunisian population and 18.3 per cent of the Lebanese population, with the two latter nationalities having 48,909 and 18,232 rejected applicants, respectively. The number of denied applications is especially high for Algerian citizens, who received 179,409 negative answers.

Consequently, Algerians have scored the highest expenditures for rejected applicants, with €31.93 million spent and are the nationality with the highest number of denied applications for 2022.

The list of top ten nationalities with the highest rejection rates of applicants per 100,000 inhabitants is further concluded with Qatar, Morocco and Armenia, which had between 200 and 350 rejected applicants.

More specifically, the 325 rejected applicants are recorded for 100,000 Qatari nationals, indicating that 8,837 visa applications were denied, accounting for 11 per cent of the total population that were denied visas. In other words, every ninth applicant from Qatar was denied a visa application last year.

While every fourth Moroccan received a negative answer on their application, the total number of denied applicants reached 119,346 in 2022. This means that 45.7 per cent of the population was denied visas, and rejections per 100,000 people reached 315.

Moreover, 283 people in Armenia were denied a visa per 100,000, concluding the list of the top ten nationalities with the most denied visa applications per 100,000 people.

The share of the population denied visas in Armenia reached 12.7 per cent in 2022. This means that every eighth person in Armenia was a rejected applicant – one of the highest rates in this list.

I am surprised Naija no dey up there grin

RomanceRe: How Far Is Too Far? Single Ladies Pray In Wedding Gowns by SSpeter(m): 8:52am On Sep 06, 2023

Interesting comment you have there.

However, at the bold, the cost of living has ballooned such that many young adults are not interested in marrying. This has resulted in low birth rates across many countries, especially in the developed world. The UK where you reside, has witnessed birth rates plummet drastically. So, while marriage is good, the costs involved are too high to bear. In return, some see the need to be single while others opt for DINK status (Dual Income, No Kids).

Before, I thought young Oyibos were just stoopid or overpampered, but having witnessed/read how the cost of living affects people's lives, I understand why many are putting off marriage - which affects childbirth rates.

If young people in Canada, the Netherlands, South Korea, Singapore etc., are putting off marriage, I understand their plight. E no easy.
The cost of living is increasing geometrically and it is mounting pressure on households but that shouldn't discourage getting married and having a family. Marriage requires planning and a concerted and conscious effort from both parties involved. Marriage doesn't require lump sums of cash saved and stashed, it only requires frequent cash-flows for sustenance. People often think that not having a wife and kids will make them richer, however I have seen 47 year olds without wives and kids yet they don't have duplexes neither do they drive Porsches.
The society exists in a strata, and if you live within your strata planning in marriage because less stressful. For example, there are no tuition costs if your kids will attend public schools from primary to secondary and we also have public universities in Nigeria. Hence the cost of training a child becomes less burdensome.

To start with we can focus on individuality. Knowing oneself, self development, pursing purpose and writing one's name in the sand of time. These things can be hindered when one put kids and wives first. Do you wonder why we Africans aren't among Scientists, Economists, Sociologists or Psychologists who made discoveries and postulate laws and theories the world study today? It's because we labor ourselves with too much when we ought to be free and innovative.
The African structure as a whole limits individualism and self discovery. It is only a settled mind that's not thinking of how to work and earn money that will think of how to create and make life better. That is the bedrock of innovation. We are trained to think in a way, act in a way, live and die in a way. That's not the essence of life. It is expected of an individual to find his or her purpose and fulfill it and that includes women.

Depression in UK and USA isn't only from lack of family or relationships, there's quite a lot to make one go insane in these countries. Whites to start with aren't mentally or Psychologically strong like blacks. Little things get them depressed that why you see thier governments spending millions on mental health. Most of the citizen tax goes into Mental care but it's not mainly as a result of Lack of family. A business folding up can send a white man to psychiatrist hospital while a black man is thinking of the next business to do after his fourth failed attempt. It's Nature not really Family .

Like I have typed marriage is good, it's the right structure to raise children in. It's good to own a home but it's shouldn't be the main and only reason one exist.
Having a purpose in life is great and marriage should be part of that purpose. Family should be an integral part of that purpose. One of the most intelligent being to walk this earth is Nicola Tesla, I doubt we would ever see anyone as intelligent as Tesla on this planet, yet he died miserably without wives and kids. No matter the respect that you command in your office, nothing gives a woman more fulfillment than coming home to hear mummy welcome and the kids rushing to throw themselves at you.

I am an advocate of hard work myself, my wife and I made first class and my MBA was with distinction and I can longer count certifications. I had what someone people will call a fantastic career in Nigeria before I relocated due to work demands, changing jobs or getting a promotion never made me happier, what did was watching my daughter take her first baby steps, infact I declined overseeing some weekend functions that could quadruple my earnings because I couldn't trade it for watching my daughters tennis practice.

There is no legacy that is bigger than forming a fantastic family and watching that family blossom and thrive. Finally we are not stronger than the whites mentally, we only have a better family support system than them . Family is a vaccine against mental health. Family is a shock absorber

Lol Marriage is good no doubt,but I believe it shouldn't be the whole essence of a person's existence. We focus so much on marriage in Africa that we let a lot go rot around us. It is well. grin it's just conditioning and African mentality. A true believer would understand will that God deal with people individually, his plans and time for everyone differs. Reminds me of Rebekah Brown. Lol.

Most of them are always looking for who to tame and change nah grin grin. I read a thread not long ago, that one wants to know if he can change a hook up lady to wife material grin cheesy grin. Wife material wey dey so gown and pray inside church,he no see them grin
I naturally will not contribute but I where you said "We focus on marriage and let a lot around us rot" got my attention. Hence I would like to ask what should people channel this essence or energy that we are channeling on marriage on? We like to use the Western world as a yardstick, I have lived in both the USA and Northern UK, and one thing infact the only thing the average white man values about Africans is our marriage and our sense of family. Forget about the white you see on TV, everyone should get married, marriage is important, because after 45 it begins to get lonely. My wife was a financial expert but she switched to clinical psychology cos we saw the huge market for it. The statistics for people depressed, and miserable with mental health issues alarming. We are currently seeking licensing to open a full mental health home in England and Scotland. The more egalitarian we become should not mean that the fundamentals of society (marriage and family) should be jettisoned. As Africans we do not understand what we are doing, we don't have the supporting structures the whites have yet we are looking at their family disorientation as a form of emancipation. It will end badly.

The beams and columns are structural members, a lintel is a beam. This is quite basic, I wonder the type of engineers we are raising this days. Cracks can occur due to flexural and shear stress that doesn't imply every crack will lead to shearing or simple cracks or settlement cracks will lead to shearing. These are basic 2D structures we are discussing here. Please don't go out and tell people that a Lintel is not a structural member so that you don't embarrass yourself.

Is cracks not clear sign of structural failure when it affects the structural members?
Learn this today, lintel is not a structural member in a building a reason why it is not considered during design of structures......its main function is just for demarcation of windows and doors....the so called chained sometimes can lead to collapse of structures.

Shalom.
Lintel is a structural member. The Lintel is a horizontal beam and not a demarcation. If you are good with your theory of structures you would have learnt about bending moments and shear force. I will reiterate that some cracks resulting from uneven settlement are not threatening. Cracks can even occur due to poor quality of mix. Cracks that are threatening are cracks due to stress from the live loads, external pressure (wind) and the dead loads (from poor structural calculations) those are the cracks that leads to shearing.

Using the Lintel beam to make the building a monolithic structure is an effective way to make the structure stable .

My area of expertise is project finance, however I took engineering courses in my undergrad days and I was very good at it

Most of these collapses of building are caused by differential settlement of the strip foundation
Seconded by wrong usage of the right reinforcement and placements



Either you consult a good Engineer and get it right or simply know that you can't eat your cake and have it.
differential settlement can only lead to cracks and this can be partly managed if the lintel is used effectively to chain the building and make it a monolithic structure. However what we have here is a foundation failure

Also, both couples can be so fixated on making money that they neglect their both marriage and their children. Remember the primary purpose for emigrating was for a better life. That reason at times supercedes all else, stabbing themselves all over with many pains. (Read 1 Timothy 6:9-10)

Neglecting children is bad. What they don't teach you at home, they teach you outside.
