In his hey days what did he use his money for, because money had much value then, than now?

I ain't supporting this. People should be investment conscious and prepare for the rainy days

As far as I have known, there has never been any hay days for our sports men and women in Nigeria.
Sports has always been a neglected area and poorly renumerated. I vaguely remember him and its a pity about his situation. That's why many sports men and women relocate or take on other nationalities if given the opportunity.

Here in the UK, national sportsmen and women are funded mostly by National Lottery money. Otherwise, many of them will not be able to fund their training or enter into competitions and would need private sponsors. Its mainly sports with seasonal leagues that attract large spectators, make money and pay well.

Here is a scenario:
On a BA flight in economy, they prepare 50 dishes of Rice & Beef and another 50 of Mashed Potato & Duck.
Which of these two do you think Nigerians will go for? The beef dish of course!
What happens when beef is finished? Wahala starts!

Why on earth can't they try to understand their passengers general meal preference and do a bit more to accommodate it by making more Beef dishes for example. They would likely not serve Beef on a flight to New Delhi or serve Pork sausage on a flight to Doha or even to Abuja. It is likely that their crew do not indicate such meal preferences to their kitchen, hence they don't try to adjust. Or perhaps when the crew report this preference, the kitchen simply ignore them except its religious reasons.

Please does he live abroad? He is always Overseas.

I don't think people from outside Africa should judge such competitions. They will be more suited to mustard taste. Whereas, how can you cook jollof rice without tomatoes?

Ha Ha.

He went to a Unity School AKA FGC.

Majority of First and Business tickets are bought by Government officials and wealthy individuals, many of whom get Government contracts or concessions.
At the end of the day, its still Government money that will be used to buy these tickets, so the tax will be paid by Government. Its just the same money circulating. Overall, the actual gains will be negligible.

THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE LESS THAN £150GBP IN MY ACCOUNT AND NOBODY HAS ASKED ME TO CLOSE MY ACCOUNT.


ANY BANK IN THE UK THAT TRIES SUCH NONE SENSE WILL BE FINED HEAVILY BY THE UK' FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN !


YOU CAN EVEN OPEN AN ACCOUNT TODAY WITH JUST £1GBP


NIGERIANS MUST STOP SPREADING LIES

It is very true. It's not the normal Barclays account. This is Barclays wealth international account in Knightsbridge but managed through Barclays Ikoyi via Canary Wharf, London. They called me to increase my savings to £100k or clear my account to £0 by August 1st which I did.

Looks like they shop in Costco for President's entertainment drinks!

Well, I'm not surprised that Wizkid won it.
kiss FM here in London play Come closer everyday!

Congrats to him but the title appears misleading.
He seemed to have graduated from Babcock and the write up indicates that he did his second and third year in Poland as an exchange student, while his first and final year were in Babcock. Why was the title embellished? Which certificate was he given? Babcock or the Polish university?

It's not possible to lock my car key in my car. The door or boot will simply not shut. If it's the boot, it will go back up when you lock it.

I have read the debates about whether this is a wise or stupid ban. In developed societies, they won't let it get so far as to completely stop flights to an international airport. it is the continued lack of planning and foresight that has plagued us for ages resulting in this situation. Why have they not thought to build a second runway all these years? If the runway was being maintained regularly, it shouldn't take that long to fix it. Other countries resurface runways overnight and if they need to close it completely for a short period, aircrafts use the alternate runways.

Why can't helicopters shuttle people from Kaduna and land somewhere near Abuja international airport, which is far away from the city? Afterall, aircrafts fly near sensitive sites in Developed countries. Countless number of planes fly over London to land at Heathrow and London City airport and yet there is Downing Street and Buckingham palace just below the aircrafts.

Lol that's cool. Good luck when it comes to the German articles 'der, die das' . Really wish you the best when it comes to that. That's when most English speakers give up

Lol. Thanks. I'm already seeing that.

I'm used to articles and have pretty much been dealing with Latin origin languages, but German is a new territory especially with the neutral gender. So far it has started well.

lovelygurl:

No she does not I grew up with them. It's obvious she's faking it. It definitely isn't

Ok. I suppose we hear different things and that's normal. I listened to it again and can hear English words pronounced pretty much the way I hear it every day. Language is one of my strong points and I speak a few European languages and already started learning German.

lovelygurl:
She does not even have a German accent pah

modified .: if she had been sitting on a wheelchair for years her legs would have been SUPER thin

She has a German accent. I work with Germans and can usually identify the accent from one sentence.
Her mother doesn't have a German accent.

Google the word schwerbehindertenausweis and check images.
You will see loads of such cards with English.

English is included in case their citizens need help in other countries. Germans remove spaces in words joining them to one word but readable by all.

My pot of stew.

What were they all looking for in The Gambia?

They are mainly British tourists.
Gambia is advertised as a tourist destination here and many people visit Gambia as part of a packaged tour or on their own.

That seems like a Lufthansa flight. Perhaps a Frankfurt to Lagos flight

Terminal age for driving in Nigeria is 70?
My uncle is 82 and still drives here. So President Buhari is not allowed to drive?

Whoever delayed the production or transportation of those clothes deserves to be honoured. We would have been the laughing stock of the world. A big kudos to the person or people!

helovesme:
I totally agree with Banky W.

They have some sort of partnership with British airways.

I bought a British airways ticket and ended up on an American Airlines flight. Very terrible airline with old aircrafts.

6 hours flight to newyork yet none of the seats had personal in-flight entertainment systems.

We all had to stretch our necks to watch the movi shown on a screen hanging from the 'ceiling' of the plane.

It's the Boeing 757 aircraft I guess. I avoid it like a plague.

Unfortunately the woman is also Nigerian. So called Alexia Thomas with several aliases. The story was in the papers today and nearly every person going to work today must have read it on the train or on the bus.

Congrats to them. Great achievement especially on getting city jobs.

Note that in the UK, citizens are entitled to students loan (No interest) for first degree which you pay back when you start working and earning above a certain amount. So there is an alternative in case your parents can't pay your fees.

cgp of 3.9/4 or 3.9/5 ?

If it's over five, there shouldn't be a hype about her brilliance.
2-1 Dey very common even here in Naija.

It's 3.9/4. That's American standard.

That restaurant/bar is inside the stadium.

What actually happens is this.

You have an agreement with British Gas to supply gas for heating & cooking and to supply electricity. You would need to set up a direct debit with them so they can take payment from your bank account. At the first instance, based on how many people are in the house, the type residence i.e house or flat (including number of rooms) and other factors, they estimate a certain amount that you will be paying each month.

Every 3 months, they ask you to read your meter and send them the reading via a special app or online. They calculate how much you owe them or how much they owe you based on the reading you submit. If they owe you, they will refund, if you owe them, they will increase the monthly amount you pay to recoup their payment. From time to time, say every six months, they come to your house to read the meter. If they determine that you have been honest in sending correct meter reading, they reduce frequency of coming to read it. Mine hasn't been read now for up to 3 years. If the price of wholesale gas in the world goes down, they may reduce the amount you pay for gas.

Now for fuel, the fuel price we pay at the pump can go up or down depending on the price of oil in the global market. Here in the Uk, the pump price is made up of over 60% tax hence it is much more expensive than many countries, but at least we know what they use our tax for and they don't corruptly spend it.

And your problem is that you have a myopic and dysfunctional thinking system that couldn't take a joke when you see one.

For the records, both of us are not on the same level and you won't drag me down to your level of stupidity. Just so you may know, I don't have anyone living in the glorified Lagos state (Uk).

You should talk to your people over there.., they are the ones giving Nigeria a bad name over there with their insatiable thirst for quick money. You know exactly what I am talking about slowpoke!!

While you may put in some jokes in some posts, it's very clear from your posts that you despise the UK and have little regard for its citizens and even your fellow citizens living here. Imagine your shallow thinking of saying UK citizens go to Dubai to work in this day and age of globalisation. Are US and Canadian citizens not working in the UK? You must have been denied visa at the embassy hence you went to Dubai, saw UK citizens working there and felt consoled that at least UK may not be heaven after all.

This is an Internet forum and you also don't know who I am, so it's very stupid saying "for the record....." It's no wonder that there are many twats like you who govern in the country resulting in many citizens facing hard life. I doubt that you can compete in a global world.

nairaman66:


Maybe 5?

The problem with some of you is that the people you know in the UK are the ones who are struggling or living here illegally, so you say rubbish.

Graduate writing coperate instead of corporate.

Na wa oh!
