Travel / Re: Missing Plane Found In Cross River: After 6 Months! by T2(m): 1:00pm On Sep 04, 2008
I know naija aviation is lacking, planes get missing all over the world and are never found or found decades later.

Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett's plane went missing in the USA about 1 year ago, have they found it? NO!
Anyway, conspiracy MUST dey for naija story  grin

How about this, the pilot was given $5M, he has undergone facial reconstruction at a 'secret' hospital in Spain and is currently back in Nigeria as the technical adviser for the minister of aviation, his new post is improving the aviation ministry's search and recovery unit.

Arsenal has to score more tomorrow to stay on top.

Not exactly more goals. Arsenal just needs to have a two goal lead and they will be back on top, not because of alphabetical order but because they will have more overall goals scored, 26 vs 23.

Politics / Africans Banned From Australia by T2(m): 7:22pm On Oct 04, 2007
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7025386.stm

African refugees have been banned from Australia for " having problems integrating into Australian communities"
==================================================================================

A freeze on the settlement of refugees from Africa - including those from Sudan's Darfur region - has been announced by the Australian government.

Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews said the refugees had trouble integrating, and other parts of the world such as Iraq and Burma were greater priorities.

The freeze will last until mid-2008, and there are no guarantees that Africans will be admitted after then.

Critics say it is a pre-election pitch to immigration-wary voters.

Mr Andrews said refugees from Sudan and conflict-torn Darfur were having problems integrating into Australian communities, and that trouble spots closer to home should take priority.

To that end, Africans are being replaced in the humanitarian refugee programme by people fleeing Iraq and Burma.

'Xenophobic' jibe

Australia has accepted or is processing about 3,900 Africans this year - 30% of its total refugee intake.

Just two years ago they made up 70% of the total.

Critics have accused the government of a pre-election move to appeal to xenophobic voters, and they have also said it is absolutely wrong to argue that Africans are failing to integrate.

One community leader said they were making an immense contribution to the economy by taking jobs which many Australians simply did not want to do.

Certainly, there is a nativistic streak in parts of the Australian electorate.

In previous campaigns the Prime Minister John Howard government has benefited from concerns over immigration - especially in regional seats.

Only last year the town of Tamworth in New South Wales voted against hosting a trial refugee resettlement programme after the Sudanese were branded as criminals by the local mayor.

So fierce was the condemnation that the council was forced to reverse that decision.

Travel / Re: My Passport Slept In Water For Two Days! by T2(m): 6:27pm On Aug 30, 2007
Abeg, don’t listen to people that tell you to lie your passport is stolen. That is just compounding the story as for life when you fill Visa forms you have to state your passport has once been stolen (its a question on most forms) and that immediately raises suspicion. (unless you want to spin yet another lie)

I will advise you to take it to a passport office and have them make an observation on it ( you have an observation page). All they need is another stamp and make note of the damage of it is not extensive, simple.

Dont lie please, our ppl sha.

ummm, am I the only one that can not see the link that actually shows Oprah saying, “all Nigerians – regardless of their level of education – are corrupt."

All I see is a letter to the Punch making this claim, please can someone show me such a link she actually said this?

Oprah will be insane to make such a statement with all her years of experience and advisers, until I see such a link (and not a letter from one  Okoli Vitalis) I say na lie!
Car Talk / Re: Your Car Is 'Not An Investment!' by T2(m): 6:45am On May 17, 2007
@blackmamba

whats BS about that? For example someone goes to an interview with a worn out suit, another with a lovely cut suite. Which one strikes the best impression? Same as the car you drive.
Car Talk / Re: Your Car Is 'Not An Investment!' by T2(m): 3:58pm On May 16, 2007
@blacknbold
Your boss cycles to work because he wants to keep fit, thats actually a plus for him if his own manager spots him on one, that shows he is responsible and disciplined about his health.

For the guy on a bike, I believe it was an okada. This was a status thing and for the same reason even in US, if someone just signs a multi million dollar deal with your boss and he jumps into a wreck of a car your same boss that rides a cycle will wonder if he can fulfil the contract.

Listen, for a 1.5hp a/c, that'll require about 6 - 7.5 amps to power. Basically, all u need is a 7.5kva petrol engine.

Lemme giv u the stats: an 18kva can power three 2hp A/Cs with three 1.5hp A/Cs!!!! (but after that jus forget about puttin on litebulbs grin grin)

@sexyme
marapco eh?? hmmm, good job wit de analysis!!! wink grin

abstarr, did you really read the initial post? Poster has TWO 1.5HP and a freezer, so if we use your calculation of 7.5Kva for one 1.5HP AC thats 15Kva  for two, Yes?

That case sexyme's initial estimate of 18Kva was not off as you need to now add freezer etc to whats left 3Kva.

sexyme, dem dey easily challo you o! grin

Career / Re: Do I Relocate Abroad Despite Having A Bright Career Here In Nigeria ? by T2(m): 9:48pm On Jan 04, 2007
@walelead

Don't let efficient news coverage and statistics deceive you. Please tell me the number of homicides in Ajegunle over the past 5 years and classify the ones that were gun related and knife related?

Chances are you can not get that info accurately. But any city in the US will provide that info for you without much ado. Look I was car jacked in Lagos in 2000 with my wife and 1 year old kid, I still dey wait for the newspaper that will carry that story.
The other day in my hood some jobless teenages walked in my neighbors garage and took a six pack and some booze, he chased them, they ran, called the cops, they (wait for this o, jobless olopa) took finger prints off his fridge and it was in the next days paper, wetin go happen if person die?

Lack of crime coverage does not mean it is low, its the norm.
Career / Re: Do I Relocate Abroad Despite Having A Bright Career Here In Nigeria ? by T2(m): 2:22am On Jan 03, 2007
Some people yarn dust as if they know everybody's situation, what is wrong in making 15m in naija and contemplating relocating?

My advice, if you are a biz man, forget it, it means you dont even have a resume to start looking for a job abroad. And business in naija, and abroad can be very very different in concepts and mark-ups.
Maybe you let your wife go abroad with the kids.

I know of someone who earned 8m naira, relocated legit and earns $90k after 1 year. Its not the same story for everyone, but this dude was employed by a multinational and was always on training abroad before he made his move.

If you are a business man, try open a branch abroad, let madam start running it and see how it goes from there but dont leave now.

@davidlyan
I can bet (unless Nnenna throws some miraculous twist) that this is a village setting, the reference to the "pink-duplex" was simply reminiscing on time past, "log of wood" "firewood" "storage hut" that doesn’t sound city 2 me, so the rifle goes with the story line in my opinion,

Health / Re: Nigerians Can't Donate Blood In The US? by T2(m): 7:51am On Jul 20, 2006
I suffered the same embarrassment, I was going to give free blood o, with some pips from work.

If its the 1st time you will have to fill some form and yeah they specifically mentioned Nigeria and some other west African countries.

For Nigeria it was mainly because of HIV.

HIV-2 specifically which is concentrated in West Africa. Because HIV-2 is rare, routine blood screening test in North America might not detect the virus. 
HIV-1 on the other hand is more common (in the rest of the world), easier to detect and has more effective antiretroviral drugs (for obvious reasons)

By the way, if you were born in the UK you will also not qualify because of some disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), so dont feel bad, the nurse saw the look on my face and went red trying to explain it wasnt a prejudiced decision, warever e pain me

Perhaps she should have pointed she lifted it somewhere? Maybe her prerogative but just wanted to point out it wasn’t an original considering all the personal accolades.

Business / Re: How Do Credit Cards Work? by T2(m): 7:58pm On Jul 08, 2006
Yeah, yeah, stay away from driving on the highway because people die in car crashes, do not use the internet because of child predators and identity theft and it goes on.

Life is all about taking calculated risks, you just need to have self control and know your limit.  Just make sure you pay off whatever you spent within the period your card stipulates (usually between10-30 days on most cards)and you do not pay any charges( of course you get a card with no annual fee).

But make sure you don't use it at an ATM to withdraw cash b'because u instantly pay interest with that transaction.

If you manage ure card well it will help build your credit (FICO) score and you can use it in situations in which you can only carry out a transaction with a credit card, e.g rent a car, u-haul truck to move etc.

Infact you can make some money off a credit card, by simply passing most of your bills to a card that gives reward points and have an automated deposit from your checking account to fund the card, at the end of each year you make about a 100 bucks that you can claim in groceries, gas etc. depending on how much bills you had to pay.

If you are not disciplined and flash your card everywhere it will be your doom.

Dont let us shy away from the topic.
Henry's performances for France has been disappointing by Henry's own standards at the Premiership. He always struggle to make impact in games outside the Premiership.
Lets forget about building teams around him or around Zizou.
Henry panics at the big stage.
