Sai mutuwa akeyi. Ya rabbi take our souls when you’re most pleased with us. Allah sa muyi kyakyawan karshe. Ya rabbi ka sa mutuwa ya zama hutu gare mu. Amin ya rabbi.
If by any chance you travel to saudi or any advance country, instead of buying Jallabiya and abaya buy daily consumable medications like paracetamol and co. Na fake ones full our markets.
Trust the Almighty’s timing. Only He knows why you're in the state you are for so long. Perhaps the delay in answering your prayer is better for you than getting what you want now. He is the Best Planner.
You are idiots. What is this person's name?
The whole of Nigeria knew Patrick Sawyer's name within 48 hours of his arrival in Nigeria.
Not only that, we knew what flight he came in on, and the names of the passengers on that flight.
Contact tracing was easy because of that transparency.
Contrast that with today, you bumbling fools call yourselves journalists, and you're just regurgitating the rubbish this untrustworthy government is dishing out to you.
No sense of responsibility to your readership, because you're just empty, vapid echo chambers.
Tinubu’s campaign team got a royal reality check from the Emir of Katsina: “My palace is not a polling centre. You only remember us every four years!”
😂😂😂😂
I can’t remember which airline I was complaining about when some people told me to try Value Jet. They said they were quite reliable. So, I decided to try them today.
Value Jet 4pm flight from Abuja to Lagos. Boarding was announced just after 4pm. We all got to the foot of the aircraft and the plane couldn’t take everyone. It turns out they had combined two flights. Some people were told at the foot of the plane that they couldn’t go on the flight.
They took our hand luggages at the foot of the aircraft because the cabins, according to them, the cabins were full. We were not given any luggage tags. I asked and they said there was no need.
As I boarded, they asked to see my boarding pass and said “Free seating after Row 8.” I asked, “What do you mean? I am in Business Class, seat 5A.” They found me a seat at 2A.
When we were seated, they announced we were going to Lagos via Iperu, Ogun State. The lady Prof that sat next to me said we were taking the scenic route and we both laughed when they announced that we should sit back and relax.😀
When we got to Iperu, those of us going to Lagos were asked to stay onboard. It turns out that some people who were going to Lagos with us were planning to then go on to the Ijebu and Ikene axis from there. Given the unexpected detour to Iperu, they took the opportunity to disembark there. My process and quality assurance mind went to the integrity of the flight manifest.
I had a window seat and just happened to see my hand luggage being taken to the terminal. Because it is an all-Aluminum case, it is rather distinctive and easily distinguishable. I had to shout. They said they would sort it out and would ask for all the bags to be brought back. That took another 10 minutes.
When all the bags were brought back, we were then asked to disembark to identify our luggage. Some passengers had a few choice words for them.😀 They wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t seen my bag being taken to the terminal at Iperu.
When we eventually re-boarded, they then made the usual apology for the delay “for operational reasons.” One guy shouted “Operational reasons kee you there!”😂 There were shouts of “fraud”, “scam” and “deceit” from the back.
At 7:07 pm, three hours after boarding, we finally landed in Lagos.
Somehow, I am not even in the mood to make wahala today. I just want to get to my hotel and have a cold beer.😀
21 years ago I named "Reddit" and everyone said it was a horrible name, but I insisted one day people would say "I read it on reddit" and used my CEO-privilege to overrule everyone + kept the name. Now the company twitter account (unbeknownst to them) is making the joke. Heh.
For almost four years you people didn’t plan on how to ease cost of living for Nigerians that you deliberately caused. Less than 3 months to election you now have a solution.
God will punish all of you.
THE MOMENT EMIR OF KATSINA TOOK @officialABAT tinubu AND HIS CAMPAIGN TEAM TO THE WASHERS
“My palace is not a polling centre to visit every 4years when pressed during election only to vanish till another election cycle.
In my emirate alone, fifty-two schools closed because of bandits. Same number in Doka. Farmers cannot go to farm in 12 local government areas of Katsina. People pay up to ten to twenty million naira to Bello Turji and his boys.
And you come talking about DG campaign for Tinubu 2027. Should you not be talking about DG security for Katsina 2026? Where is Bello Turji? You promised to handle security. Bello Turji is in the forest, a hundred kilometres from here. Go and bring him, then come and campaign.
If you are selfish, my people will be selfish with their votes. If you do politics of selfishness only for your family, for your cronies, for your friends, and for your contacts, then people will also do politics of selfishness. They will collect your rice and vote against you. They will collect five thousand and still vote for who they want.
In 2023, you brought rice, you brought money, but Katsina people still split their votes. In 2027, if you bring the same selfish politics, they will collect your money but will not vote for you. And I assure you that.”
El Niño is trending because a disaster that causes extreme heatwaves or rainfall due to shifts in the Pacific Ocean may hit Nigeria, with about 451k global casualties projected within 6-months. [Explained]
So basically, the cool wind that usually push away warm surface water westward to (Indonesia & Australia) from the eastern pacific, (South America), becomes weak, it’s called “trade winds”.
Then, the warm water and its hot air that is supposed to go towards Indonesia and Australia, starts going back to Southern America.
This occurs every 2-7 years and is known as El Niño. When these regions cool abnormally, it is called La Niña; when neither condition occurs, it is ENSO-neutral. Together, they form the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate cycle.
Now you know what El Niño is right?
The atmosphere is a system, connected, and the Pacific Ocean is one giant heat source that is plugged to this system. Think of it like a big boiling pot.
Therefore when it (Pacific) changes wind direction, it influences circulation of hot air across the atmosphere.
So some countries may get nothing, some may get, depending on the intensity of El Niño. Which translates to either drought or extreme rainfall, depending on what the air pushes to your own region or area. — El Niño
Normally, the sun heats oceans, lakes and rivers, causing moisture to rise, form clouds and produce rainfall.
In this case with the abnormal Pacific Ocean, that moist warm air, stops going up easily as vapor in the east (Indonesia and Australia) and shifts to South America.
So, the normal rainfall or heat that’s supposed to happen in Indonesia & Australia, starts to happen in South America. Automatically the first people who’d experience the weather change is Indonesia and Australia.
Indonesia and Australia typically depend on these winds for their normal rainfall patterns.
When they weaken, they experience drought, extreme heat and wildfires, like the ones you hear about in Australia; while parts of South America may experience increased rainfall and flooding.
Essentially, El Niño disrupts normal weather patterns, making rainfall and temperatures harder to predict and extreme in affected regions.
This time, WMO and NOAA’s forecast suggest the atmospheric change could reach parts of Nigeria too, as it already experiences rainfall impacts associated with the current El Niño.
Until then, Nigeria could experience extreme heat, rainfall, flooding or drought, but there is no cause for alarm, and no official confirmation suggests that El Niño will trigger these events in Nigeria.
While El Niño can influence rainfall patterns, it cannot determine Nigeria’s weather alone, as the West African monsoon also plays a major role; This is the seasonal movement of moist air from the Atlantic Ocean into West Africa.
El Niño already started in September, and is developing. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it is expected to peak around December 2026 and potentially persist into March 2027, as the strongest recorded Super El Niño recorded.
In 1877/78, a powerful El Niño caused over 50 million fatalities, estimated 3% of the world’s population.
