BIG WIN FOR NIGERIA!
Yesterday, history was made in Lagos. Air Peace and Ethiopian Airlines — once on opposite sides over Nigeria Air — signed a bilateral interline agreement.
The two airlines signed a historic interline agreement — one ticket, through-checked baggage, seamless connection from Nigeria to the world.
Four of the biggest carriers in the world, namely: Etihad Airlines, Emirates Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Qatar Airways, have all signed interline partnerships with Air Peace this year! Today, Ethiopian Airlines @flyethiopian , the giants of Africa aviation has joined. This one is more than interline. It is African, anchored by the biggest African carrier, Ethiopian and the fastest growing airline in Africa, Air Peace, with both complementing each other for the progress of Africa’s aviation.
This is what happens when a government believes in its own. Thank you to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT for rejecting the out-dated idea of a national carrier, a drain pipe to any economy, and choosing, instead, to strengthen existing indigenous Nigerian airlines. Your foresight is paying dividends in the aviation sector. We commend the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN @fkeyamo, for implementing the reforms of the administration in the aviation sector diligently.
Today, the world is coming to partner with us, not to replace us.
When Nigeria believes in Nigeria, the world respects us.

Dear @flyunitedng, you delayed the Enugu-Abuja flight today from 8:30 am to 3 pm. Your ground staff in Enugu and Abuja had no idea what was happening. Oluchi in your Customer Service Centre said she had no idea. She promised to find out and call back but didn’t, even though I told her that I had taken her name and would call her out publicly if she didn’t call back.
You attributed the six-hour delay to adverse weather but the weather didn’t affect other airlines. Enugu Air took off from Enugu on schedule, as did Air Peace.
Your ground staff in Enugu said that the plane that was to have come to Enugu was diverted to Anambra where it faced weather challenges and couldn’t proceed to Enugu. But the claimed weather challenges did not stop you from operating the Anambra to Abuja and the Abuja back to Anambra flights. How could you take off from Anambra to Abuja but couldn’t take off from Anambra to Enugu? Care to explain this?
I am copying @NigeriaCAA, so that you can outline how you plan to compensate all passengers on that flight for delaying the flight for SIX HOURS!
Also, as I had to buy another ticket for another airline, please outline how I can get an immediate refund for the ticket without having to wait for 7 working days. I was invited to open the ticket but I declined because I do not plan to use your airline ever again.
Having delayed the flight for more than six hours, it would be an absolute disgrace if the refund is not immediate.

Train 3-4 days a week, more isn’t better, I grew more when I stopped living in the gym
Pick a programme and actually stick with it for months, it gets boring and that’s exactly when it starts working
Log every set, one more rep, a slower negative or a bit more weight each week, the muscle doesn’t know how much you’re lifting, only how it feels
2-3 hard sets is plenty if you’re actually taking them close to failure
Train your weak points first in the session while you’re fresh, and build for symmetry and proportion, not just whatever’s heaviest
Real food, single ingredients, plenty of collagen (broth, slow-cooked cuts, gelatin) and raw dairy, and eat every 3-4 hours so you’re never running on empty
Eat enough, starving yourself just makes you small and miserable
Walk every day, outside, ideally with the sun on you
Early nights, I sleep immaculately and the phone lives in the kitchen
Never touched steroids or peptides, so stop comparing yourself to men who have
And give it years not weeks, the man who just keeps turning up wins every time
And honestly I just love it, I wake up excited to train and I’m grateful every single day I get to sculpt my own body.
Nobody burns out on something they genuinely love, that’s the real secret

The one who slapped my colleague is from the same place as yesterday's passenger, too. Are you accusing me of bigotry?

Wrong. Not just 12pts, Arsenal would’ve used it to win the league and qualify for the UCL final
25/26 run-in:
Vs Newcastle won 1:0 ✅
Vs Westham won 1:0 ✅
Vs Athletico Madrid 2nd leg UCL SF 1:0 ✅
Vs Burnley 1:0 ✅
Work smart 👍🏼

You meet a man who you assumed would be a dumb simp and spend on you but he turned out to be running same scam as you (love in exchange for money) and somehow he is the bad guy

I have a theory. He actually does not have a patio or a nice place. He said that thinking you would decline but wanted you to THINK he has a nice place. Now that you said yes, he's freaking out because he actually lives in his mother's basement.

Three downsides of being a pilot:
1. Uneven work schedule.
- Working 9 to 5 has its benefits. Coffee in the morning, working out later in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night. In aviation, especially long-haul, this is pretty much impossible. Though I try to stick to my natural rhythm when I can.
2. Being tested every 6 months.
- Let's be honest, nobody likes being tested. But as a pilot, you have to be checked in the simulator twice a year. I understand and respect the process, but as someone who always strives to do my best, I find it a bit stressful at times. Imagine taking an exam every 6 months for the rest of your career. Still, there is nothing like being rewarded for your hard work with great feedback.
3. The cost.
- Private pilot school was not cheap. Paying over a million NOK in tuition fees is not something to take lightly. You don't notice it much in the beginning, but those bills will come due.
Is it worth it though?
- Of course! Aviation has been my deep passion since I started flying back in 2017. Being able to do what I love, with these views, while travelling to amazing destinations, is truly a privilege. But as with any job, there are positives and negatives.

Didn't notice in real time but that is literally VAR's job and it gets no better with every viewing. If that was on Lammens we'd be fuming so got to be honest we got away with one there

If you’re reading this comment, get tf up! Take that man off your application & leave Nigeria for good !! What is this I’m reading ffs.
If you’re in a relationship and thinking of entering the Express Entry pool alone because your partner doesn’t want to write the English test yet, please read this carefully.
I get it. Age is moving, you want to maximise your CRS score, and your person is not fully sold on Canada or the exam. It’s tempting to just apply as single and “sponsor later.”
Don’t.
If you are already married or have lived together as a couple for 12 continuous months, IRCC expects you to declare them. Hiding the relationship can be treated as misrepresentation. That can mean refusal, a 5-year ban, or problems keeping your PR later.
The safer option most people don’t fully understand is listing your partner as non-accompanying.
You still declare the relationship, but you tell IRCC they are not moving with you right away. This usually gives you higher points because you’re scored more like a single applicant. Your partner does not need to write IELTS or CELPIP for this.
Their language score won’t reduce your CRS. They only need to do the medical exam so they can still be sponsored later.
If you leave them off completely or they skip the medical, you may never be able to sponsor them under the family class. That door can close permanently.
If you’re not yet married and haven’t lived together for a full year, then applying as single is usually fine and you can sponsor after you become a PR.
This is not legal advice. Every relationship and file is different. Speak to a licensed RCIC or immigration lawyer before you submit anything.
Protect your points. Protect your relationship. And don’t create a problem you can’t fix later.
