PoliticsRe: Nigeria’s Unemployed Rises From 17.6m To 20.9m In Nine Months by ascendo(m): 3:21pm On Dec 19, 2018
Mynd44:
Actually, if working age population grew from 111.1m to 115.4m, it means 4.3 people entered the working age population

But unemployed grew from 17.6 million to 20.9million which is 3.3 million.

Meaning in the time frame, 1 million jobs were created in the time space but not enough to absolved the growing population
Good statistician...that means there was no retirement (none exited the working population) and there was no death... Are you for real?

Then it's full synthetic oil that you have to use. Consider also the mileage so that the oil will not be shorting. Get CASTROL MAGNATEC 5W20.

Jobs/VacanciesNnpc To Retrench About 500 Workers by ascendo(op): 8:14pm On Nov 12, 2018
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) - No fewer than 500 employees are about to be dropped from the payroll of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for reportedly failing to scale through a mandatory personnel assessment and promotion examinations the corporation recently conducted, THISDAY has gathered. Very reliable sources within the state oil company said the issue was already causing disquiet in the corporation. They said this could lead to disruption of NNPC operations following threats by workers’ unions to resist the alleged sack of the 500 workers.

From reports, NNPC has since October 2017 remained the sole importer and supplier of refined petroleum products in Nigeria, especially petrol which independent petroleum marketers have stayed away from importing on account of unfavourable pricing. On the other hand, Nigeria’s oil production has continued to improve from a 2016 production disruption caused by militancy in the Niger Delta.

Sources close to the development told THISDAY that trouble started when the corporation conducted the promotional examinations and about 500 of its staff could not pass it. The 500 are reportedly not part of the workers’ unions – the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) and Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN). They were subsequently issued notices of disengagement, but their issue has since been taken up by the two unions, which sources stated have now pledged to resist the sack even though it means shutting down the operations of the NNPC.
,
A source who pleaded not be named said, “Some staff wrote promotion exams to move places, as it is the case. They are Chief Officers and Deputy General Managers who are in M5 and M6 cadre. Some didn’t pass for the first time and about 500 were asked to leave, and papers in this regard were served them.

“Right now, there is a lot of tension because that category of people affected are not part of workers’ union.

The cadre involved with NUPENG and PENGASSAN are from Chief Officers downwards, yet, the unions are threatening that in solidarity with them, they will embark on actions to support and stop their retrenchments.”

The source equally explained that the threat of industrial action by the unions will affect operations in Nigeria’s oil sector. He suggested that oil production and downstream operations, which include petroleum products supplies and distributions, could be impacted negatively by the industrial action of the unions. Also, the source noted that some of the affected staff had worked with the corporation for more than 25 years, adding that it is the first time the NNPC would conduct promotional exams and ask staff who failed to meet up to leave its workforce.

According to the source, the current decision of the NNPC to lay off workers who failed its assessment was different from that which the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, attempted when he was the Group Managing Director of the corporation and wanted to downsize the workforce but was resisted by the unions in the corporation.

When THISDAY contacted the Group General Manager, Public Affairs of the NNPC, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, to comment on the issue, he said he would get back to the paper on the request. But Ughamadu did not get back as at the time of filing this report.

Industry experts have frequently questioned the vast workforce the NNPC maintains, which according to them has contributed to its poor operational profitability. Their views have equally been supported by reports from the corporation which also suggested that the deficits it records from its operations are usually from subsidiaries that are rather redundant.

For example, an August 2018 edition of the monthly financial and operations report of the NNPC released recently on its website disclosed that there were about eight of its subsidiaries that have remained unprofitable in their operations. The report indicated that the subsidiaries contributed to the N3.90 billion trading deficit the corporation incurred after about six months of recording back-to-back profit on its operations. And, they included its refineries in Warri; Port Harcourt; and Kaduna, the Nigerian Pipelines and Storage Company Limited (NPSC); the NNPC Shipping; NNPC Ventures and the corporation’s corporate headquarters.

I've developed a web service with Form based authentication as below.

1.An entry in web.config as below.

Dear All,

I just got a Toyota Corolla sport 04'. Whenever I start the engine and the car is in 'park', all parts of the body will be vibrating. The vibration however reduces when I'm in motion but I can still feel it. I just changed some part of the engine seat now and the problem still persists. Please can somebody help with possible solutions....I'll be reading comments. Thanks
there's no combustion in one or more if the cylinders... Start the engine, remove the spark plugs wires one after the other. The sound will always change immediately you remove it from each: if it doesn't, then there's no combustion in that particular cylinder. If so, see a good mechanic shop
Christianity EtcRe: Bible Scholars I Need Your Answer by ascendo(m): 8:19pm On Jun 15, 2017

*Question:*
When Adam n Eve gave birth to Cain n Abel, as at that time there were only 4 people on earth i.e (Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel). bible said, Cain killed Abel n was cursed by God, leaving only 3 people on earth i.e (Adam, Eve, Cain). But according to d bible, Cain traveled to a town called Nod and married n gave birth to children with her. My question is, which other human did Cain marry?
All we are told about Adam's offspring is that the first son was named Cain, the second son named Abel [Genesis 4:1-2 ], then after Abel's murder, another son named Seth was "begotten when Adam was 130 years old." After that, Adam "begot sons and daughters" [Genesis 5:3-4]. This same passage also tells us that Adam lived for 930 years [Genesis 5:5]. Therefore, according to Scripture, Adam and Eve's family consisted of sons Cain, Abel and Seth, plus a minimum of two other sons and two daughters, giving a total of seven children. However, accepting that Adam, and likely Eve, lived for 930 years, seven children would be the minimum number, but does this seem reasonable?

Genesis chapter five presents the genealogies of the descendants of Adam where we are simply given the father's name, his age when he "begot" the first son and the total number of years he lived. With the exception of Enoch, all of these pre-flood descendants of Adam lived a minimum of 777 years, while most were over 900 years. In each instance, the record simply gives the name of the first son, then adds "and begot sons and daughters." With these words, the minimum number of children per family then becomes five. But is this really a credible number?

Living over 900 years means living ten times longer than we do today. Proportionately, the female period of fecundity – today 30 to 35 years – would then be about 350 years. At a rate of only one child every seven years, this would result in 50 children for Adam's immediate family. Interestingly, two ancient books written about the time of Christ but not having the authority of inspired Scripture confirm these figures. The Book of Jubilees, whose author is unknown, was written in the second century B.C. and states that Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Paradise seven years [p.49]. Then Eve gave birth to her first child, Cain, between the ages of 64-70, or the same numbers as the age of the Earth, anno mundi. Eve's second child, Abel, was born seven years later – between the years 71-77 anno mundi [p.51]. The total number of Adam's children is not given in this work; however, it is found as a footnote in The Works of Josephus where it states: "The number of Adam's children, as says the old tradition, was 33 sons and 23 daughters." In view of their longevity, these appear to be reasonable figures while it would have to be said that, sinners though they were, Adam and Eve had faithfully obeyed God's first commission to: "be fruitful and multiply …" [Genesis 1:28].
