I'm only wondering why he's using a mic in that room

Because it was televised. When you do not use a Public address system, the audio quality would be poor for television even though it's a small room.

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
FIFA should give Iniesta, Xavi, Sneidejer their own award

Since it's based on World Cup performance
Note, it is not FIFA best award but FIFA symphaty award

FIFA isn't perfect...
But he(CR7) won the award in 2014 despite registering a single goal at the world cup and crashing out at the Group stage.
Infact he has amassed 5 or so FIFA awards already despite registering only a goal in each of his previous world cup appearances safe for this year's tournament( he's best World cup performance).

Nigeria is gone na... Every realist know this

None Nigerians dont know how lucky they are.

'Non Nigerians? Not all non Nigerians are in swell situations oh.
Nigeria (as bad as it is/appears) is a heaven of sorts to so many living conditions across the world.

Throwback:
What is a disgrace is that the DSS that vetted her nomination did not know that anything was amiss.


When such a stark mistake happens, even the vetting team ought to be sacked for their incompetence.

I Suppose DSS' background check does not include reliability of Academic qualifications per se or Does it?
Most people should be able to scale the DSS check if they don't have a Criminal past or Associations. DSS assesses a candidate's background for info/leads in his/her past/Associations that makes a candidate a potential risk to the country/ government upon assuming a position.

You probably mean the National Assembly or the ICPC.

Lost my job barely 2 weeks now.

Staying calm but hopeful. I just need to aquire skills I believe rather than jumping at just anyhow jobs which only just keep one alive.

Am open to learning while I figure out what next to do.

I would appreciate anyones' support (training and skill acquisition)

Thank you.

I don't know the nature of skills you are out for but :
edx.org
udemy.com
Microsoft virtual academy are among rich resources to acquire training.

Nowadays, you could browse for PDFs and read/learn about virtually anything under the sun. YouTube is another great resource to learn even the most niche-esque skill.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:
Rules are meant to apply to all.
This boy is "one of them all"
Therefore, rules apply to him.




Why should they bend the rule to suit him? I know many people who were not up to 16 at the time they got admission and had to defer their admission till the following year.


You are intelligent no doubt,boy but same law that applies to olodo shall also apply to you.



If you think law or a rule has become moribund, it can be refashioned to suit all but not saying that law should single you out and accord you any fucking preferential treatment.

It's not a law though, it's a rule.

Both Rules/laws could be relaxed for the right reasons.
It may be that the considerations that informed the age restrictions for the rule then are since outdated and due for review. I once heard that ones hands had to reach the other ear to be permitted to begin schooling in the 60s/70s. I am sure that's laughable today.
Laws/rules are to serve man and not the other way around.
Whenever they seem due for review, they should be to decide whether they should be scrapped or Continued.

Which country does ICAN Grant you exemptions in again I don't think I can recall? Oh I remember now it's in zero counties but it does frant you exemptions for ACCA right ?

Or is that zero too

Now this answers the question of one having the audacity to compare ICAN to ACCA . iCAN is just a joke and waste of funds if you ask me

I never suggested that ICAN is superior to ACcA in anyway.
Given the choice almost everybody would elect for ACCA for its international appeal. I just wanted to correct a statement you made about its RAW 'global' reach.

In fact, I think this comparison is unfair as ACcA was founded in 1904 in what has been one of the most developed countries in the world. I CAN received its charter in 1965 pioneered by individuals who themselves benefitted from a UK education.
I CAN ( like the country it is domiciled ) still struggles in many areas today. And by the way it

ACCA gramys you CPA exams exemptions in some states in USA

Granted. But your statement implied that with ACcA alone, one is good to go anywhere in the world.

I have observed that even though a concept enjoys almost global acceptance, It may not necessarily translate to acceptance in the US without going through their standards there.
Of Course no Financial concept is truly (technically) global if it still suffers restrictions in a place like the US.

Hopebringer:
The comment is self.explanraory I CAN is only accepted in Nigeria , ACCA is acxoeted in Nigeria and everywhere else in the world

You can work in finance anywhere globally with ACCA but not with iCAN

Nuff said

Be wise

Sure it has a wider reach in terms of recognition. But it isn't 'everywhere' yet. The US for instance, would still require a CPA (their equivalent certification) for public practice as they do for quite a number of professions ( Requiring a certification that was developed locally).

N.b. The US hasn't adopted(at least not formally) IFRS yet. which is the foundation of most European Accounting Certifications including ACCA.

IT IS TRUE, I SAW HIM SEVERAL TIMES AND ARTISTS CAME TO VISIT HIM, THE LIKES OF MI , WALE TURNER AND OTHERS CAME AROUND ....ALSO THIS FAT DJ (LADY WITH BLONDE HAIR) ....HE DIDN'T SLEEP FOR 15 DAYS!

You probably did not sleep for 15 days yourself to be able to be certain that another individual didn't.

What do you expect from kebbi graduates? Ask them to spell university, 90% wouldn't be able to.

But kebbi Corp members ≠ Kebbi graduates. Temper your perceptions about news emanating from the north.
P.s. I am not a Northerner.

"This is not one those your Nigerian salons where you people pay N200 for haircut"

Says someone bemoaning prejudice.
Sometimes I feel that 'racism' is just the scapegoat.
The true enemy is Prejudice/Discrimination. Unfortunately, Discrimination can be perpetuated by members of the same race.

Maybe it's just me but Is the quality of a haircut determined solely by its price ?

amaniro:
Australia Australia ooh what a beautiful land filled with IMMIGRANTS like the US. Check, native Australians they are kinda dark, The real people of US and CANADA are red Indians. Use your Google pls

Yes Caucasians virtually have their roots in Europe but these people have since moved.
You cannot call Donald trump, George Bush or Bill Clinton Europeans but their ancestry most certainly trails back to Europe.
Many generations since, they have become Americans/Canadians/Newzealanders etc and are still White.

And not all geographical Europeans are 'White'.

amaniro:
Beautiful. Actually I don't think she is WHITE per say, I think either Asian or so and anybody not from Europe is called COLORED.

Really? Have you heard about Canada/USA? How about Australia and New Zealand.There are certainly white people outside Europe as much as not all geographical Europeans are "White".

obrigado080:
Sir where were you when muhammadu trashed the "federal character", bypassed other tribes & put only northern muslims in charge of virtually all the security institutions - army, navy, airforce, police, civil defence, immigration, customs, dss etc?
When there were qualified superior high ranking officers from other tribes in those institutions...
People complained, and the reply they got was - "buhari is appointing people he can trust..."

Now imagine what would have happened if Jonathan had appointed only southerners to head all the security forces, or Obasanjo put only his tribesmen in charge of the whole security system...
Buhari exposed himself when he put only northern muslims in charge of all the security agencies, when the federal character clearly rejects such. Also when there were qualified officers from other tribes...
Now elections are close he has realised that daura is bad & the bayelsa man is qualified to replace him...

The new appointment is a welcome development, but we can NEVER be fooled by buhari/apc!

Okay. However, I must point out that though most senior officers are northerners, not "ALL" force chiefs are northerners.
Both the current Naval chief (CNS) Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe and the chief of defence staff ( the highest ranking officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces ) Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin are Southerners.

You are largerly right though, but when we make sweeping generalizations like [ there being more/other senior officers from the south in the armed forces for all chief roles— something neither you nor I would likely have the actual statistics] and ALL army chiefs are Northerners— when that's not the case, we allow sentiments get in the way of our otherwise worthy cause.

obrigado080:
Election is at hand, now they have appointed a bayelsa man to attract favour from southerners.
After fulanizing nigeria's entire security structure.....
E no go work!
FOOLS!!!

Really ? was his 34 years in service also planned? the fact that he was the most senior officer and an Assistant DG. — Was that also planned to pacify the Southerners?

The thinking that some parts of the country have their indigenes marginalized in positions in governance is understandable. But when naturally occurring situations ( a deserving officer who happens to be from a marginalized part of the country is given an appointment) it should be seen as a step towards normalcy and should not trigger unnecessary sentiments.

Would we have preferred that this deserving officer be bypassed and the appointment given to another "So that the favour of Southerners be not influenced". please consider.

Bobby4090:
Covenant University again? I used to have the impression that these private Universities are for rich folks who couldn't make the cut off for schools like Unilag or OAU. I never knew brainy folks like this could choose them as First Choice.

Nice. Hopefully, your impression has been corrected now.

P.s. I am not a Covenant University alumnus. But I have never doubted that great things can come from anywhere.

Topmaike007:
that is in dollar not naira.. if a dollar is change for 100 in naira that means those people paying 52 USD it will be around #5000 in naira, it is because of the change rate that is why it is high in your face,bro Dstv are showing us pepper in this nation..

Really ? please where in the world does a USdollar go for #100 Naira? Get the records right to analyze effectively.

Jethrolite:
Tizeti needs to deploy unlimited 4g nationwide, so we can move to watching free quality channels online.

Tizeti charges about 9k for unlimited 4g access monthly. They can sell 20gb for N1k. I personally will cut DSTV off to focus on YouTube and other streaming services.

Really? Do they currently cover Benin?

AZeD1:
But that is not DSTV's fault is it?

Sorry for the bother but the notation on your signature is of R, Right?

I pay over $200/month for tv and internet bundled together. I don’t think there should be any noise about the increase. It costs fairly the same amount of money to operate a tv provider service anywhere in the world (with the exception of salary differences). These guys do not make as much profit as we all perceive, because they pay a lot of licensing and content fees to content owners.

I don't have a problem with their price increase (to some extent, paytv is a luxury) but that " They do not make as much as we perceive?" Nah! You don't know these guys.
The parent company of this paytv(DStv), Naspers, has some of the most lucrative brands in Africa including; Mtn, Mnet/multichoice and Supersport. They made a fortuitous investment in Tencent ( one of the world's most valuable startups at a point) in 2001 that has valued their stake at over 100 bn USD.

Naspers was also recently the most Valuable Company in Africa by Market Capitalization.
If they don't make as much as we perceive then I can say with boldness that I played Deadpool in the recent Deadpool 2 sequel.

Pavarottii:
They will all choke on their greed. Those supporting that other sea ports are not brought up to Lagos standard.

If it was tenable, are there those actually opposed to this?

TechCapon:
and they make it cheaper for all.

Yes, they make low cost products. But brazen IP theft like these limits your growth as a company outside China. Besides, selling low cost product with original designs is not mutually exclusive. they could very well achieve both.

like London? Quite a distance don't you think? in most popular cities across the world you get virtually no glimpse of 'brown ground' from an aerial view — not that it is a good thing— but because the cities are literally built up.

Nigeria is one of the worst places for a small startup right now. Many factors are against you
1. Low capital
2. High Taxation
3. Lack of infrastructure (power at the top of the list)
4. Stiff government policies
5. unhealthy competition

If I had a million naira, I will relocate to a better country where my future will be safeguarded. It might take a little struggling, but with hard work and dedication, overtime I will build a lasting future protected by good governance.

Are u being sarcastic? the points you have raised seemingly opposes the conclusions you've reached.

einsteino:
The bolded is the problem with our system. The Dean just openly admitted that there is a system that rations excellence regardless of how many people work hard and merit it. I remember there was a time when Electronics Engineering dept in UNN produced over 10 first class and the faculty sat down to slash their CGPA down to 4.49 cos of this same mentality of having more than a few first class is abnormal. A system that rations success is lethal.

I think I understand where the professor was coming from(I.e. that the sheer number of First class graduands called for suspicion considering the Faculty's trend ) but he allowed himself to fall for the logical fallacy — of concluding— that the number definitely meant something was wrong, and not that the trend warranted a recheck of facts. It seems to take a lot not to fall for fallacies in this Nigerian environment — even for a First class Law professor.

soberdrunk:
I survived NNSS Borokiri till they kicked my ass out, boarding house was a major life transformation process for me because i went from "ajebutter" to "Thug life" overnight. I remember entering Jss1 with a very heavy box and coming back home for holidays with an almost empty box, they stole almost everything i had because i was a careless amateur ajebutter, they continued to steal all my stuff until i got to Jss2 and became a 'cartel member'. My school father was one of the 'baddest' seniors and he made me a 'young thug', by the time i was in Jss3 i had become so notorious that even the seniors consulted me for 'jobs', i was the 'go to guy' for contrabands, smuggling in of suya, fried yam and just about anything you needed from the barracks or outside school walls. I finally got kicked out for masterminding one of the biggest heists ever, i miss those days though, bitter sweet memories, you had to be sharp to survive and never display weakness or you will be taken advantage of, back then we feared and respected our senoirs so much that they were like 'mini gods'

I can relate to everything you've written and if any of these happened after 2001 then I almost certainly witnessed it.
