There are several reasons this may occur, pilot can meet bad weather and for that reason spend more time airborne, or a mechanical failure such as landing gear issues, but not to Deliberately take off with low fuel.

Go and read about the case you just mentioned again.

there was a time during Jonathan period that I was travelling from abuja to lagos, we were already taxiing, when the pilot announced that mama peace was on and they were all told to stay on ground. The plane was on and working, we receiving AC and chilling, fuel burning. And we were on the ground for more than 1 hour before the plane flew. Getting to lagos, they refused us to land. Same mama peace issue. The plane hovered and the pilot announced that he's not permitted soon, that he will go to the nearest airport and land land due to no enough fuel.
The story was dem say dem say, third party reporting.
Lagos-abuja, direct flight, 40 mins at most 1 hr on air, no pilot will leave lagos without enough fuel (and back) to abuja. How long did it fly before announcing it's going back to refuel? What were the circumstances that led to it not having enough fuel to continue the journey? Those questions can't be answered because it's a third party report, which is not even admissible in court.

Op, I have not read the rest of your story, but on the part of you telling the child to round the teachers and collect his scripts is totally wrong. The proprietress is right on that. A pupil is not the one that will go round and collect his scripts, more so, a poor performing pupil. What if collects them and alter them? Or even burn them completely?
Even in universities, u sit for courses that are across several departments and faculties, u dont go to anyone to collect your script and submit to your department. When results come out, just go to department's board and check your scores.

I doubt this story, a pilot has a life and family too, except he plan suicide, no pilot will attempt to fly without enough fuel.

that's why the pilot went back to refuel.
Is this the 1st time u have heard of plane not enough to reach it's destination?
There was a time a pilot landed on lagos-abeokuta expressway because of no enough fuel.
International flights, some even refuel on air.

This woman and her agency is a complete waste of time and money

Is there any other country in the world that has an agency for their people in diaspora?

Besides Badenoch has never claimed to be Nigerian. I doubt she has a Nigerian passport so what's the basis of reaching out to her if not to chase clout and a thin line of bigotry?

Did she also reach out to all other Nigerians born in UK or that privilege is reserved for Badenoch

what's the work of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigerian ambassadors abroad, Nigerian embassies and Nigerian High Commissions? The agency only reach out to do with to do people abroad with Nigerian roots.
Those guys abroad know their roots. When saka visited his hood in lagos, it wasn't on invitation of that agency. Nigerians abroad coma back home daily and go back, not on invitation of that agency.
When Kemi the leader of the Conservative Party wants to come home, she will on her volition and not because abike dabiri reached out to her.

Shocked at how expensive local food had become.
how can you expect local food to be cheap when dollar rate, fuel price and transportation have crazily increased exponential

u forgot insecurity. Bandits have taken over all the farmlands where food is grown

Your airport experience is a big lie! In all my years of traveling to Nigeria I have never witnessed, seen or experienced travelers slipping cash to officers to skip the line. So many airport lies against our custom officers are so terrible...Omo, naija people!

chairman wetin u dey talk?
About 5 years ago when I travelled to UK for holidays and came back in abuja. All travellers were forced by customs to go into a room and open their bags. I told them "nothing to declare" and they say "my friend, go in there and open your bags". Opened, just clothes and shoes and they say I should give them money. From N5,000 when ended at 2k.
When I travelled and came back 2 years ago abuja airport, surprisingly customs passed me without anything, and I was so happy. Just for NDLEA standing there where my bag was scanned to stop me and told me though they knew I was clean but I had to drop something for them else they would open my bags and waste me. Gave them 3k.

Same with Nigeria's rule of 25% in 24 states

It's to ensure spread

it's different. In Nigeria first u have to have the highest votes cast before 25%. But in US, u may not have the highest votes but will still be declared winner

Donald Trump will win in a landslide, it will not even be close. Anyone thinking that dumb, clueless and incompetent woman will be elected POTUS is delusional. So sure of Trump's victory that I have staked real money on it and expecting a windfall.

SlavaUkraini:
Meaning that the labour party will be in control for a long time..

Because the UK is not yet ready to vote for a Black woman to become Prime Minister.

That's the plain truth.

Congratulations to her anyway...

UK doesnt vote for Prime Minister, they vote for Members of Parliament equivalent to our of House of Reps. If the conservatives wins majority seats in general elections, she automatically becomes the Prime Minister.

Mods, it's the new leader of the Conservative Party not leader of the New Conservative Party. I thought that there's a new party in UK called New Conservative Party.

how can kulikuli replace salad cream? Are the alternates?

When I visited me sister in London, I packaged a lot of ground food - egusi, crayfish, pepper, ayoola pondo, package indomie and kilishi full bag. Both in abuja and London, they didn't disturb me. My sister was so happy. Would have cost her a fortune to buy them there. Dem get money naa, they should buy them there.

Una no go take pictures of places were the vast majority of the population in fact live. na only places where middle class and upper live una go dey record for here dey tell us say government dey work. Kind of like how Lagos State only shows pictures of places like Lekki and nice areas of Ikoyi but rarely ever pictures of places like Ikorodu, Imota, Ketu, Oshodi(were people actually live), Ojota, Epe, etc.

junkie, reread your post. And add rural osogbo where u come let's fully compare

Kobojunkie:
Read my comment and take time to digest what is written! Where do you get off believing that I was trying to compare Aba to Lagos or Osogbo for crying out loud? 🙄

Why do you get off feeling it is OK to project your private insecurities on others just because? 🙄🙄🙄🙄

u drink shekpe when u wrote the rubbish u rubbish? You asked for pictures of residential areas in aba. And say the picture of aba main town the Op uploaded is like showing the pictures of ikoyi and VI in lagos. Is that not comparison? Why didnt you mention an area in osogbo where u come from let's compare.

madridguy:
Your audacity is surprising. Till date there are many villages still eating human meat in South East... No shrine come close to Okija shrine in Nigeria till date. Over 1000 dead bodies, hundred of skulls,legs, hands and fresh human hearts was recovered.

Is Clifford Orji, the human eater a play to you? Till date no one come has come close to his record. Hide your shame small.

are your brothers, the bandits that have fully taken over your region not roasting your people like suya and eating them for dinner?

Kobojunkie:
Again, what portion of my comment led you to believing that I was particularly interested in the paving of the interconnected roads in the picture? Are you certain I am the one with the comprehension issue here cause clearly, you responded to my post and not to the other there.

so what were you interested in? Comparing Aba with Lagos? Why not compare Aba with osogbo where u come from?

Kobojunkie:
What, of the post you commented on, led you to believe that I was in someway concerned with or addressing the planning of the town or whatever?

the post you commented on talked about "interconnecting
roads! "ZOOM IN & look at the now all paved interconnecting roads! " that's town planning.
And u alluded it was because it was the major town and are asking of residential areas. Most of the houses in that picture are residential areas. And I'm trying to enlighten you that even on the fringes of aba main town, the residentisl houses are as well planned.
Do u have a problem with comprehension?

aba main city was well planned since the colonial times. The pictures were of the main aba. Well structured, well numbered.
It's only in aba and lagos that I was able to locate places based on house numbers. "2 mbadiwe street, abayi" and I go to abayi and locate mbadiwe street and locate no 2. Same with lagos addresses. That's it.
Not even ph, or kano or kaduna or enugu or owerri or maiduguri have I been able to locate places based on house number. It's usually "u see a mango tree, then turn left, when u get to a fruit market by the left, then turn right. When u cross a white bridge, stop and call me let ne come and pick u from there.
Residential areas are main aba are well numbered. Just go no 6 ohanku road or no 20 ngwa road, u will just get there easily. Even far from the main town, someone will just tell u he lives in 20 akwa street abayi, a rural area on the fringes of aba main town and u go there and easily get it.
I don't know for the newly developing areas and if aba town planning council is still working, but I must confess, they did a very good job numbering houses in aba
The unplanned areas may be

It's you that will regret... Trump will never be president again and he will end up in jail.

dont mind that apc agent joor. Wetin trump go do 50cent assuming he wins, which he will not

AgentDawson:
You'll regret it at last. Trump is the next POTUS

assuming (I know he wount win) trump wins. And then? What effect will it have on 50cent? U think America is like Nigeria where opposition are hounded and jailed and their businesses shut down?

Unbiased1:
This happened in Osun so it's not important. Let's focus on labour party in Abia instead. By the way, is that not a fast growing gully erosion site right there? I thought things like this happen in only Anambra.
