From experience, one of the best way to punish a man in marriage is to behave as if nothing happened and treat him better after letting him know that you know everything, the type of imbalance he go feel hen, you sef go pity him, he will be like what's she gonna do, abi she be witch, he will do all do questioning and answering himself. At a point self he will be scared of eating your food.

His inaugural speech was so boring.

Eyah, maybe they meant geriatrics.

Funny enough, I don't do whatsapp. But we can always be in touch on this thread, plus if it's convenient for you, try to open the stanbic account. I think it'll be good for your tbills experience. I read people's comments here about them in the past, and I decided to open an account with them primarily for tbills, so far it's been good. FBN is also very good, but you may not get to specify your own rate.

OK, thanks bro.

awesomeJ:
FBN, StanbicIBTC, I guess GTB too.

maybe I should open an account with stanbic, I was at Sterling today regards D tbills but not sure of the quality of their service.
please do u mind giving me ur digits so we could chat better on whatsapp?

awesomeJ:
Very true for most of their branches. However there are several other banks that take 100Gs, and yet offer great rates.

please mention few that you know.

raii:
To start, visit your bank and request them to purchase treasury bills on your behalf.

The primary market is a fresh sale of t.bills held every two weeks. Every other sale in between the two weeks is called the secondary market. The dates of the primary market is determined by the CBN.

For rates, your banker can pen down a rate following what the secondary market and the last primary market auction sold. But you can follow this thread to get indicative rates.

Charges are quite minimal: Commission is 0.125% of your interest; Custodian fees: 0.1% of amount purchased (with tenor factored) and VAT is 5% of the custodian fees. Trust me, the total wouldn't dent your interest at all.

Tenor: the tenor/maturity to purchase depends on you really. But the longer your tenor, the higher your interest. I often switch between 182 ad 364 days

For banks: GTB, Diamond and Zenith are not bad at all.

please I was at Zenith bank today to get info on tbills and the bank official told me, 500k is not enough to buy tbills that 1M is their minimum, please how true is this?

please gurus in the house, what bank is the best for t bills, is Zenith bank good for tbills and like what's their rate?

DozieInc:
Unbelievably true, which kin' thing be dis.

As in, it's enough to start a major argument.

Ever since the beginning of humanity, history has revealed that human beings can never be equal in terms of brain power, individuality, nature e.t.c

In every country, there are several people with either psychological, neurological disorders whose people look down on, think low of and condemned to be totally useless to the society but have in them talents such as numerical, musical and artistical begging to be explored.

Our ability to identify these people with individual difficulties in our society and integrating them into the society will so much help us in harnessing hidden talents in these individuals and also enable them live a meaningful life and contribute their own quota to the development of the human race.


You will be wondering what the essence of this write-up is, well, the focus of this write-up is on the misconceptions in differentiating between lunatics, savants, and imbeciles.

For starters, according to Wikipedia, Savant syndrome is a condition in which a person with a developmental difference demonstrates profound and prodigious capacities or abilities far in excess of what would be considered normal. People with savant syndrome may have neurodevelopmental disorders , notably autism spectrum disorders, or brain injuries.

Lunatic is an informal term referring to a person who is considered mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable, conditions once attributed to lunacy.

While, an idiot , dolt , dullard or (archaically) mome is a person perceived to be lacking intelligence, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Along with the similar terms slowpoke , slowpoke , and cretin , the word archaically referred to the intellectually disabled , but have all since gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy.

You may wonder why categorizing them together, they all suffer apparently some form of intellectual disability, in a typical African setting, these set of people are rarely differentiated, and most times seen, felt, perceived as un-educatable and as such condemned to illiteracy and seclusion.

While imbeciles, morons, and idiots are mentally handicapped/ incapacitated, lunatics are mentally ill and savants are people with neurological disorder and profound abundant intellectual capabilities.

It is worthy to stress that while some categories are of intellectual disability, savants are of abundant intellectual capabilities, but the African community have been failing to identify these individuals with rare talents in our societies, thereby adjudging them as an individual of intellectual disability without giving them a trial in other facets of life.

Yes, subjecting savants to intelligence quotient tests will actually portray them as idiots but over the years many savants have proved that as savants, I.Q tests do not really measure their level of intelligence both for people with savant syndrome and acquired savant syndrome.

The difference between people with savant syndrome and acquired savant syndrome is that the former is in-born while the latter is as a result of head injury or dementia.
The association of African medical practitioners should take this as a wake up call and take it upon themselves identifying these categories of people, harnessing their talents and more importantly integrating them into the society.


Below are some notable savants in the world and their contributions:


1. Kim Peek, the Real Rain Man
Kim Peek was born with severe brain damage. His childhood doctor told Kim's father to put him in an institution and forget about the boy. Kim's severe developmental disabilities, according to the doctor, would not let him walk let alone learn. Kim's father disregarded the doctor's advice.


Till this day, Kim struggles with ordinary motor skills and has difficulty walking. He is severely disabled, cannot button his shirt and tests well below average on a general IQ test.


But what Kim can do is astounding: he has read some 12,000 books and remembers everything about them. "Kimputer," as he is lovingly known to many, reads two pages at once - his left eye reads the left page, and his right eye reads the right page. It takes him about 3 5.

seconds to read through two pages - and he remember everything on 'em. Kim can recall facts and trivia from 15 subject areas from history to geography to sports. Tell him a date, and Kim can tell you what day of the week it is. He also remembers every music he has ever heard. 


2. Leslie Lemke 
Leslie Lemke didn't have a great start in life. He was born with severe birth defects that required doctors to remove his eyes. His own mother gave him up for adoption, and a nurse named May Lemke (who at the time was 52 and was raising 5 children of her own) adopted him when he was six months old.

As a young child, Leslie had to be force-fed to teach him how to swallow. He could not stand until he was 12. At 15, Leslie finally learned how to walk (May had to strap his fragile body to hers to teach him, step by step, how to walk).

At 16 years of age, Leslie Lemke bloomed. In the middle of one night, May woke up to find Leslie playing Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Leslie, who has no classical music training, was playing the piece flawlessly after hearing it just once earlier on the television.


From then on, Leslie began playing all styles of music from ragtime to classical. Like the Tchaikovsky piece, he only has to hear the music once in order to play it again perfectly. He became famous after being portrayed in national television shows. Before his health started to deteriorate, Leslie gave many concerts around the world.

3. Ellen Boudreaux
Like Leslie Lemke, Ellen Boudreaux is a blind autistic savant with exceptional musical abilities. She can play music perfectly after hearing it just once, and has a such a huge repertoire of songs in her head that a newspaper reporter once tried to "stump Ellen" by requesting that she played some obscure songs - and failed. Ellen knew them all.


Ellen has two other savant skills that are unusual. First, despite her blindness, she is able to walk around without ever running into things. As she walks, Ellen makes little chirping sounds that seems to act like a human sonar. 


Second, Ellen has an extremely precise digital clock ticking in her mind. To help overcome her fear of the telephone, Ellen's mom coaxed her to listen to the automatic time recording (the "time lady" when she was 8. From then on, Ellen knows the exact hour and minute, any time of the day without ever having seen a clock nor have the concept of the passing of time explained to her.


4. Daniel Tammet: Brainman
At first glance, you won't be able to tell that Daniel Tammet is anything but normal. Daniel, 29, is a highly functioning autistic savant with exceptional mathematical and language abilities.


Daniel first became famous when he recited from memory Pi to 22,514 decimal places (on 3/14, the International Pi Day, of course) to raise funds for the National Society for Epilepsy.

Numbers, according to Daniel, are special to him. He has a rare form of synesthesia and sees each integers up to 10,000 as having their own unique shapes, color, texture and feel. He can "see" the result of a math calculation, and he can "sense" whether a number is prime. Daniel has since drawn what pi looks like: a rolling landscape full of different shapes and colors.


Daniel speaks 11 languages, one of which is Icelandic. In 2007, Channel Five documentary challenged him to learn the language in a week. Seven days later, Daniel was successfully interviewed on Icelandic television (in Icelandic, of course!).


When he was four years old, Daniel had bouts of epilepsy that, along with his autism, seemed to have brought about his savant abilities. Though he appears normal, Daniel contends that he actually had to will himself to learn how to talk to and behave around people.

thanks

UDbester:
the last time i checked i was in elementary 5. ode101, why dnt u put the right pix in ur write up initially

Then, the class is really good for you, people of your class learn with pictures better than words, hence your request for many pictures.

Idydarling:
master piece op, the ftc guy is real mumu. ☺

Thanks, we can't do away from people like that in our society, most especially on a faceless platform like this but we must do our best in correcting them.

UDbester:
what is beautiful in this kwa, abi u dnt see the red crown of the chicken ni wey turn dey look for wetin e go eat? na waooooo

I bet you didn't read the post before commenting, now go back and read between the lines and if you still can't find the answer, this is a pictorial answer. Besides, learn to read, digest, think before making comments. cheers!!!

UDbester:
this op na mumu ooo, idolness abi na idleness has bleeped this op up big time

People like you necessitate the importance of civility101 as a course in our institutions. You called me mumu but you failed to identify just a single reason why I am in your post. if I may ask what class are you?

The UTME form will soon be out, when students will be faced with problem of course, institution, and subject combination to choose.
The essence of this write-up is to enlighten students on what to do. The following are the guidelines to follow;
1. Course: Selection of course is very vital and it's something that must be done out of interest, your best subjects are also to be considered while choosing a course as these are what you will major in while in school.
E-brochure of each faculty is attached, choose the one that correlates with your department and browse through it for your desired course, it is worthy of note that there are multiplicity of courses you never heard of that is in the brochure.
Except you are very good as in brilliant, the more popular the course, the slimmer your chances of being admitted , it's evident that most students are not always given the course they want in Nigerian universities as a result of too many applicants with the same course of choice.
Also for now, department of criminology have been suspended in UNILORIN.
Below are the list of faculties in PDF format, download and go through it, then make your choice.
AGRICULTURE
ART
EDUCATION
ENGINEERING
LAW
MEDICAL
SCIENCES
SOCIAL SCIENCES
ADMINISTRATION
2. University/ institution to choose: In the column where your desired course is, there are list of universities that offer the course you chose.
Make your choice and I will advise you not to choose two federal universities as most and more preferred universities e.g O.A.U and UniIbadan as most of these universities don't consider students that choose them as second choice.
Below is a file that contains the list of universities and degree awarding institutions in Nigeria.
Degree awarding institutions are mostly monotechnic as in colleges of education affiliated to universities and as such offer degree programs. I will advise you to choose any of them under monotechnic.
Universities and other degree awarding institutions
3. Subjects combination: Also, in the next column to the list of university, there are subjects (3) that each university expect you to write in UTME and also in WAEC, go through it and make sure you don't make mistake of wrong subject combination.
English language is the only general subject in JAMB.
4. Form purchase: The directive from the new registrar of JAMB is that, all transactions will be cashless, so you will be buying your form with a debit card (ATM), before you proceed for registration at the CBT centre, purchase the form from the comfort of your home or anywhere yourself or with anyone you trust. Never handover the debit card to anyone or reveal the pin,wherever and whenever required, enter it yourself and ensure the instructor look away. This is to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Bye for now, wish you a Happy New Year in advance and also good luck in your forthcoming exam.
Cheers!!!

Yeah, you read right, as untrue it may sound, it's actually true. On 10 September 1945, a poultry farmer, Lloyd Olsen and his wife Clara were killing chickens, on their farm in Fruita, Colorado. Olsen would decapitate the chickens, his wife would clean them up. But one of the about 50 chickens that went under Olsen's hatchet that day didn't behave like the rest.

When they were through with the decapitation and were planning for further preparation of the decapitated chickens, they got down to the end of the farm only to see that one was still alive, up and running. The chicken kicked and ran, and didn't stop.

It was placed in an old apple box on the farm's screened porch for the night, and when Lloyd Olsen woke the following morning, he stepped outside to see what had happened.  The chicken was still alive,hale and hearty headlessly. The chicken was later named Mike and went on a tour across the country with his owner.

After the tour, the Olsens took Mike the Headless Chicken to Phoenix, Arizona, where disaster struck in the spring of 1947 where Mike finally died.

The only explanations science have been able to give are;

1. What happens when a chicken's head is chopped off?
Beheading disconnects the brain from the rest of the body, but for a short period the spinal cord circuits still have residual oxygen.
2. Without input from the brain these circuits start spontaneously. "The neurons become active, the legs start moving," says Dr Tom Smulders of Newcastle University.
3. Usually the chicken is lying down when this happens, but in rare cases, neurons will fire a motor programme of running.
4. "The chicken will indeed run for a little while," says Smulders. "But not for 18 months, more like 15 minutes or so."

You will be wondering how possible could Mike lived for 18 months where  the head, brain and other parts of the body that constitute the CNS were either severed or missing but this is how the farmers kept the chicken alive. Mike was fed with liquid food and water that the Olsens dropped directly into his oesophagus. Another vital bodily function they helped with was clearing mucus from his throat. They fed him with a dropper, and cleared his throat with a syringe.
Many chickens lost their heads as a result of many people trying to match  the feat but what many didn't realize is that there would have been serious clotting that prevented Mike from bleeding to death.
This is another research question, can clotting be induced  Biologist and medical experts, what's your view

More so, a chicken expert, Dr Tom Smulders at the centre for behavior and evolution at university of Newcastle says that the fact that he was able to survive is incredible but says for a human to lose his or her head would involve an almost total loss of the brain but it's rather different for a chicken.
"You'd be amazed how little brain there is in the front of the head of a chicken, It is mostly concentrated at the back of the skull behind the eyes explain Smulders.

Reports indicate that Mike's beak, face, eyes and an ear were removed with the hatchet blow. But Smulders estimates that up to 80% of his brain by mass - and almost everything that controls the chicken's body, including heart rate, breathing, hunger and digestion - remained untouched.

It was suggested at the time that Mike survived the blow because part or all of the brain stem remained attached to his body. Since then science has evolved, and what was then called the brain stem has been found to be part of the brain proper.

"Most of the bird brain as we know it now would actually be considered the brain stem back then," Smulders says.
"The names that had been given to parts of the bird brain in the late 1800s were all indicating equivalences with the mammalian brain that were in fact wrong."
Even though scientists have theoretically given explanations on this absurd incident, nobody has been able to practically replicate the feat.
Scientists, what do you have to say

But before you go, let's go on a mental tour, mention any animal you know that can live without its head.

Happy New Year to all our fans.
