You are right on point Cheillini!

Luca Modric in his best season couldn't win the Balon Dor.

Real Madrid keeps fighting CR7....Though still a conspiracy theory!

If Real Madrid REALLY has the power to "stop" him from winning it, it then means that Real Madrid also aided his winning it all these years — By the Same Logic. Right?

BDO & UEFA player of the year are vote based awards.
Votes = Majority Opinion. With very skewed objectivity, if any.

By the way CR7 is a great player and no awards can erase that.

hisexcellency34:
I still believe only an Igbo man can solve Nigeria's problem if given the opportunity to rule as President

Hahahaha!

You had to say it, didn't ya?
They could very well start solving the problems in their states too. They sure govern themselves (state) don't they?

Olude193:
Where was sanwoolu the pointer...

Can't even be available to receive a fellow govenor

Receive a fellow governor ? Do you know how many govs. Move in /out of Lagos daily?

Joedoyle:
CR7 won all his award on merit! M10 took most of it undeserved! For the third time M10 wins the award without a major trophy! If the governing body of this award care much for those they offer their award to, they should probably stop deceiving the defenders and midfielders.

I'm not really a fan of awards (since they are a product of a voting process) but your logic is a bit flawed.

ALL awards(including those CR7 won) are given from a voting process . Now, it follows that if Messi has ever gotten an undeserved award, Ronaldo too would have, since votes were also used for Ronaldo.

By the way Laliga is a Major trophy.


In 2013, CR7 won no major trophy. He wasn't even Laliga's top scorer Yet he won the BDO.

He was the UCl top scorer though. Remember that he won this (BDO) in the face of Neuer and Ribbery who had the UCL and a treble.

Messi won exactly the same Laliga majorly, UCL top scorer Laliga top scorer and UEFA golden boot. Almost the same situation as Ronaldo then and you say he(cr7) "deserved" ALL?


Voting means people's wishes (including biases) .

All such awards are inherently biased.

gloriaunobi:
The governor elect seems trustworthy..... My question now is, why is it that TB Joshua like using this world. the best Is yet To Come I've been waiting for the best in this country since I was born in 19 97 and is like the best is not coming anytime soon

The best comes not in one fell swoop but almost imperceptibly.

The quality of life /possessions you have now would probably been far above what more than 70%(my estimate) of Nigerians had in '97.

Change/progress hardly comes suddenly. We also do no usually acknowledge little progress. This could be good though.

Tableshake89:
An unmistakable trait of lowly,unexposed and uneducated fellows

Or Not.

Enter the Japanese. Or even our own Yorubas.

The Japanese at least have taught us that one can develop while maintaining its own culture (not becoming Western).

chloride6:
Lol..Good one although Dangote was saved from the snares of the Local Content Board..

This thing could have been fabricated in Lagos by a JV of the OEM and a local contractor..

Nice one anyway

I am not knowledgeable enough to know whether your claim is plausible BUT if I were in position of this Business owner I would not.

Two key problems in Nigeria's pursuit for industrial growth are Lack of Integrity and Incompetence.

These two are perpetuated daily across the Country.
We are not thorough as a people. You might say Not all of us are like that. True. But you need a critical mass of change agents(citizens) to make progress here.

Most Nigerians lack integrity and are incompetent.
Everyday I try to liberate myself from this group. I don't know if I have but it is a struggle.

God help us.

AhlexOfficial:
These are the kinds of news we want to hear, not the other...

Or Perhaps we must accept the good with the bad.

This is the reason why the Media tags the conduct of students with their institutions.

Could the school REALLY take glory for the performance of the above intelligent student BUT not take partial responsibility for the "other" bad news a while back?

No one incapable of taking responsibility deserves credits.

They (school) totally absolved themselves from the other situation - saying even it took place "outside" school setting but went on to expel the parties.

If you claim that you "build" the character & Excellence of students as a university (Again something I have some reservations with: the student discussed above would almost certainly be excellent - even if he didn't school here), you should also accept "some" responsibility for not "building" the bad sheep too.


Babcock is Certainly a great institution in my opinion. That's not in doubt at all.

DennisEche:
No doubt good money exist but who could have thought air peace CEO is into money laundering and list goes on

He is not into Money laundering. At least not yet.

Allegations are not yet Facts!

Oh!

DennisEche:
To say to be rich in naija ur hands must be dirty. No clean money again

Really?

Then where did the dirty money get their money from, other dirty money?

Then where did this other dirty money get their money?

Who then created the original money that "bad" guys are stealing from.


Hahahaha!

Look around you. From the food you eat to the clothes you wear & services you use— All are provided by others who make money of off these. Some enough to be deemed wealthy, isn't it.

The existence of bad money is EXACTLY a confirmation that good money exists.

KingAzubuike:
With all the book e no mean say he go get money, popular or get status pass ihenacho , wizkid or mercy lambo.

He could though;

There are a lot of examples of Highly educated and Wealthy individuals.

Some good examples are Charles Koch, James Goodnight, Min kao, David Ross, Leo schleifer, John C Martin. Even Nigeria's Prof Joe Ezigbo & Dr. ABC ojiakor.

Matter of fact, Education is the most guaranteed path to earning a decent living.

The odds for all other paths are very high. Not more than 0.5% (my estimate) of a population can be Rich Rockstars. Being a rockstar might also be unsustainable and perhaps Overrated.

edon21:
South Africa is the home of crime and HIV in Africa courtesy of black South Africans
South Africa's Infrastructure devt is courtesy of white South Africans. if not why is your economy controlled by white individuals.
however you look at it even with Boko Haram, dwindling power supply etc hindering Nigeria's growth, we still tower above South Africa guess what ll happen if we fix all our problems?
and. mtn is majorly owned by whites. 55 percent of their total profits come from Nigeria alone so if we chase them out glo ll take over.
note.. Nigeria has the most educated military officers in Africa. and still has the highest number of foreign professors in America.

without Nigeria, South Africa would have continued to be a colony.


don't think with your anus boy

You are somewhat right though, But it would be Overreaching to suggest that without Nigeria South Africa would still be colonized.

Some may argue that they still actually are.

But when you help someone achieve a goal (By the way others also help SouthAfrica: Cuba, Tanzania etc.) Even though you contributed greatly, it's hard/too proudto suggest they'll still be in that condition without you. This is 2019! 25 yrs. On.

Khaleell001:
the quotes I am reading are not really scientific enough.

Some snippets here and there.

I want to know why it occurs, the reasons?

Hahaha.

Be a little kind with the Community, it's doing us all a favour your answerers are not being paid.

If I mutter some convincing "scientific" jargons as the reasons, you wouldn't be able to tell, would you?

Hahaha ! Someone should explain soon.

iammo:
harmony has compilers that can run any APK file, and many apps are on free market outside of Playstore

You keep turning this whole thing around.

You are suggesting that Harmony OS - which is supposed to be a global product should run on ApK apps on the grey market ?

Again isn't APK an Android creation ?(further strengthening the argument that Harmony is not an autonomous product yet - Depending on the Android Ecosystem).
(Yes Android knows about APK apps not on play store ...they let them be)


You seem to like Harmony a lot why aren't you using it (Or To not be Over-assuming Are you using it?)

If Harmony OS is as Mainstream as you described, Why is the average smartphone user (Not YouTube Reviewers) NOT using it.

Huawei EFFECTIVELY has no global Market ready OS YET. They could though but it's too soon to celebrate.

iammo:
HarmonyOS was their creation and creating an OS this days is just a matter of coding on existing shell of unix or linux

Huawei might run on andriod, but they now have an alternative to andriod

Creating an OS is more than what you have described.

Sure that's what necessary to have the OS product. But you need an Ecosystem of developers around the world to support it right?

You need partnerships with Oems (smartphone)right?

You need 24/7 global security and update infrastructure right? And you need to do all this for Almost "free" to challenge Google since the Android is effective ly free to Oems.

You haven't also answered the question... Do you know of any globally successful Huawei release today that does not use Android?

iammo:




They stood strong when Trump tried to bully them, they came up with an OS in few days.. this guys deserve more

staff and country loyalty should be rewarded "bigly"



...

Creative guys but...

They came up with an OS in a few days ? Who told you that? Is that even possible? Really?

Please Can you name 1 globally successful Huawei smartphone Currently that doesn't use Android ?

idesylvester:
White na white black na black... if u know u know

Huawei is Chinese and Chinese are not White.

I get your point though, We Africans(Nigerians) Should be more Competent.

Quorax:
most computer science students can't code. Shey na FOTRAN we still dey talk for 2019?

If u test that lady, she may not even know jack about HTML Css, php and other languages

You could be right, but you have to be sure of your statistics. You know "Most" means at least 50.1%, right?
What if she knows?

Again, she's clearly intelligent enough to pick up any of those tools in 3-6 months. Probably reach advanced proficiency in under a year, she has demonstrated it already.

amidel:
Looks really good.
Maximum respect to Prof Afe Babalola.

Great Man. He's Certainly not a Prof (yet) though.

Adam09:
There are two sides to a coin.
You should have told us what you did to her, even at that, I will still need to hear from her personally.

Pele my dear!

Almost nothing should justify that action.
It would have to take Murder, (which doesn't seem to be the case ) to Warrant such a RASH action.

Since People don't keep acids around normally, it is hard to argue that this action was not premeditated.

hisexcellency34:
CR7 once scored four free kicks in one match

Wow! Great,

What match was it?

blizard44:
Son, what's it with your hair? �


Education, no matter how much we might want to downplay it, is still important.

It refines and put a touch of class and finesse to peoples' actions and inactions.

I know about the street.
But beat it.
Idowest would have worded that tweet differently if he was schooled formally.

I fear being famous or rich without or before being commensurately educated.
It won't feel perfect.

PS:
You can have a degree and still not be literate. (Especially for dis our country).

Hahahaha. True.

On a side note though, The men/Women who put together the basis/Ground work for mordern day education were themselves, technically illiterate, right?

Paradoxical right?

I feel that Education (as we know it) Is the most effective way to standardize knowledge/skill.
But there are individuals in history who would have been educated without being educated(pun intended), through self motivation and experimentation of the world.

We can't all do that so we thank God for Mordern education.

RexEmmyGee:
Congratulations.

Still wondering why ABU can't produce a first class since the department came into existence.

But it is said that a 3rd student in ABU law is better than a first class or 2.1 law students in any other university

Sure. Isn't it.

Went from barely indicting the school(for not producing firsts) to then outrightly declaring it better than all the others... Except — without proving anything.

It would have been effective to perhaps say; "20 ABU 2.1 graduates, graduate with More first class degrees than counterparts from other colleges".

There's no Premise(at least not here) for your argument.

I hear a lot of past/Present governors in Nigeria cut their teeth at ABU though. Now seeing the dearth in Leadership this Nation has faced over the decades, Do we then blame ABU for some of Nigeria's leadership woes also?

Hahahaha!

Listen: True Extraordinary Performances (Not just doing well) is an individual sport. No school does it for anyone. Not ABU. Not UNIBEN. No school.
Even Havard tries to lure the Best/Brightest, Why?

To build on their strengths(Intelligence).

Anacondaprick:
Absu na school. Glorified secondary school. She for go Uniben na go get first class. No sense

Haha! But how about Replicating the feat at Law school too?
Is Law School also a Glorified secondary school?

LegendHero:
Have you ever wondered what the reason could be?

They do. but not the way you think.

First of all, Banks are Big businesses and even the "Yoruba" banks are in all south eastern states.

If they were totally averse to setting up shop in the east, they (Yoruba Promoters) would have settled for a Regional Commercial banking license that would allow them avoid certain regions— Yes,that exists.

2. Large Business locationing is not a guesswork game typically Certainty is the watchword — and so Lagos they go unless as in the cases of those in the pockets of Ogun, etc. It makes economic sense in terms of govt benefits or the very popular proximity to raw materials.

3. Political tension surrounding the east is not particularly persuasive to me as a non igbo to setup an industry. You probably know this. Trust me if it was a convincing business case politically + Economically, Companies (including large ones) would set up shop there.

gaetano:
lol! You dont know the nationalities that make up America. Chinese are one of the majorities, Italian Americans, Indian Americans, Japanese Americans, Koreans...,germans, polish. Oga they migrate

Yes they do.

He probably meant that the "Real Rich" of these Nations- the ones who built these Nations into powerhouses they are don't leave the Country. And don't live outside the country.

I didn't say have an American base and shuttle. They mostly reside in their Countries.

The Tadashi Yanais, Hans Liebherrs, Mukesh Ambanis and Other Chinese guys rarely leave their Countries.
Their businesses just expand.

By the Way be circumspect about the Chinese. Hardworking , no doubt. But a lot of their Businessmen are fronts for the CCP (who behind close doors have been known to exalt or destroy "Rich" errant members).

IGBOSON1:
There must be something about Anambra! Most of the billion dollar businesses involved in the oil and gas servicing industry are owned by their sons and daughters: Brittania-U, SEPLAT, Oilserv, KAZTEC, NESTOIL (ObiJackson Grp), etc! Really impressive!

True. Great Business people.

But isn't Seplat's promoter Austin Avuru— A Deltan?

LordAzubuike:
Blacks are just bunch of cry babies honestly. I still await the day a blackman will racially abuse a white man. If you want to enjoy your career as a footballer too, avoid playing in Russia and Italy.

Really?

Didn't Weah Enjoy his best Season including winning the Ballon d'Or with ITALY's AC Milan?

I'll accept they are racist though. But African players have achieved great things in Italy too.

jaxxy:
Not necessarily Madrid bt he has to prove himself outside Barca even if it’s his National team. Period!

True.

Funny enough I know of just one active player who has won At least one MVP award from ALL non club football competition he has ever played in.

U-17 FIFA, Olympic, Copa and FiFa world cup.
Would you know any other?


... By the way the one I know is Messi.

mrvitalis:
For an Igbo man being buried in a foreign land is seen as insult ...don't know how people do it

Sad event.

Canada was not so much foreign to him again as Nigeria became later in his life.

As some point virtually ALL of humanity has moved from one place to the other. Man was not made for earth, but earth for man. You MAY not be in your LGA of Origin now as we speak and for many years so.

Home is where the heart is.

It is probably more "ironic" to bury people in their Homeland after they've been absent from it much of their whole life— As though the land was just good enough for their remains.

DenreleDave:
Pls how do I go about learning programming during my service year coming up next year...I'm studying banking and finance but I can't be looking for job like many are doing now..

I wana switch to learning things like IT... Guys Pls help.

I can't be jobless, the plight of graduate makes me feel so bad for my own self gan. I did my internship at GTB IN 2015 after my National diploma.. Now I will be graduating from the university in few weeks time


I am a fast learner even though I don't have a laptop for now but I am a computer literate.. I have a diploma in desktop publishing and I'm averagely perfect (funny right? ) with corel draw. Lack of system and practice made me stagnant in designs

... Does any one have any laptop to spare as a way of helping me


Mods don't ban me.. I av done notin wrong


I designed this and can do many more

It All depends on the track/Path you decide to take.


Graphics design/UX/UI?
Data Analysis/Engineer ing?
Web Development?
Data Science/ Machine Learning?
Database Administration?
Game Development?

All these are paths (that sometimes overlap).

The more focused(path specific) you are, the more effective your learning would be.

Some good resources include;
Youtube- Derek banas, freecodecamp etc.
Udemy.com
Linkedin learning.com
Cognitiveclass.ai
Tutorialspoint
Etc.

Follow blogs(Google) for areas you need specific understanding while going through your path.

Learn like you'll be examined alone(know enough about your path).

Cheers.

SarkinYarki:
The Buhari govt and it's level of deception is something else , for those of us in the industry there is no way any bank or TELCO can create any charge without express approval of the CBN and NCC ..Can the NCC say it's unaware of this charge , can the CBN governor say he is unaware ? I don't know why the NCC didn't bother to carry the minister of communication along for this as this clearly smacks of insubordination and he should look into it

I am totally NOT for any politics.

But saying "there is no way any bank or TELCO can create any charge without express approval of the CBN and NCC" is quite naive.

In this case I don't know if such instructions were given by the regulators but Nigerian Banks and Telcos have been known to pilfer from customers.

Where do you think all Complaints of undue charges from banks and undue charges by telcos of customers come from.

3 months ago I personally intervened in the undue charge of over N10000 from my boss— by a Nigerian bank — which was supposed to be an error.

Cheers.
