Travel / Re: Nigerians, Highest Number Of African Criminals In Britain - UK Home Office by wowo2: 6:54pm On Dec 11, 2014
major466:
Looking at the figures of Zimbabwe, Somalia and Algeria, Nigeria has the lowest criminals in UK via population percent ratio.
Percent Criminals:
1. Nigeria. Total residents in UK 106,000
Total Prisoners: 832
Percentage ratio = 832/106,000 multiply by 100
Percentage ratio of Nigerian criminals in UK = 0.78%

2. Somalia. Total residents in UK 45,000
Total Prisoners: 558
Percentage ratio: 558/45,000 multiply by 100
Percentage ratio of Somalians in UK = 1.24%

3. Zimbabwe. Total residents in UK 50,000
Total Prisoners: 482
Percentage ratio: 482/50,000 multiply by 100
Percentage ratio of Zimbabweans criminals in UK = 0.96%

4. Algeria. Total residents in UK 9,000
Total Prisoners: 305
Percentage ratio: 305/9,000 multiply by 100
Percentage ratio of Algerians criminals in UK = 3.38%

Based on percentage ratio to the total number of residents in the UK, Algeria has the highest prisoners with 3.38%

Nigeria has the lowest Prisoners with 0.78%

I agree and am sure it will be less than 0.78%...106, 000 registered Nigerians living in Britain?...of course their data will not take into consideration the undocumented Nigerians. It also probably excludes Nigerians with dual citizenships (Euro/American-Nigerians etc).
Education / Re: Toughest Universities To Enter In Nigeria by wowo2: 6:21pm On Nov 02, 2014
Dammytrager:
in my opinion I'll say these are d toughest

1.OAU
2.UI
3.Unilorin
4.Unilag
5.Funaab
6.Uniben


let's hear ur views

It was when i was very young and was in a car entering into OAU a long time ago at the entrance gate i saw the security personnel using the long under vehicle security mirror to check underneath cars...it was a little interesting, i wouldn't say OAU was difficult to enter, just that their checks were funny when you want to enter. In any case I am now used to the device. I have now seen it used in a lot of films...hollywood films but not nollywood. MHO

Politics / Re: PDP Rejects Two Presidential Aspirants... Balewa And Abiola by wowo2: 9:18pm On Oct 28, 2014
kahal29:
The Peoples Democratic Party had turned back two presidential aspirants who were at its national headquarters in Abuja to pick their presidential nomination forms on Tuesday.

The aspirants are Dr. Abdul-Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa and Prof. Akasoba Duke-Abiola.

First to arrive was Tafawa-Balewa, who hails from Bauchi State, [s]and the son of Nigeria’s First Republic Prime Minister, Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa.[/s]

All the caucuses of the party, including the National Executive Council, had endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan as its sole presidential candidate, foreclosing the possibility of any aspirants angling for the party’s ticket.

apparently one of them is GEJ's pal

Politics / Re: Patience - Port-Harcourt Lost Its Attraction In Amaechi's Reign by wowo2: 12:54pm On Jun 16, 2013
oh yes, we loved being in port harcourt during the reign of Peter Odili when PH was so much fun. How the cult boys used to display around town killing and maiming in the hotspots of the city...guns could go off anywhere at any time... how i loved the day that ocada man took me on that short cut via sangana. Not left out were areas that were not directly affected but the machete wielding boys at night in rumuola made sure visitors to the city were amused. Silly woman.

It is a major time bomb truly. All those that think it is a joke are either still in school or are of school age but not attending school.
Irrespective of El-rufai's ideology, unemployment is a major issue in Nigeria that is being swept under the carpet...

One of the killers was ranting about his country being left alone by the west ors something...which country? I think this individuals are plain confused childish minds. Although no one can say he knows how to raise perfect children but methinks children in diaspora need to be allowed to fully appreciate and understand their origin...and not think they are alone or different and the world is against them...

The war on corruption in government is so feeble and has only managed to convict a handful. It is very puerile and there is just no sane excuse for the government to pardon Alamieyeseigha. This just emboldens those stealing government funds...very disgraceful.

The drug being touted is not an anti-HIV drug but one used for the treatment of diarrhea associated with anti-HIV drugs.

Prof Iwu has had controversies trailing him in the academia before he even became Electoral Umpire...This does not preclude the fact that he could be a good research scientist.
