In order to gain excellence, we need to acquire attributes of eagles. Eagles are among the largest and most powerful birds in the world. Eagles have been noted as symbols of strength, bravery and courage. Eagles and hawks are said to have the keenest sight of all, and can sight their prey while soaring high in the sky. The eagle has longest life span of its species. The severe flight of an eagle and its love for freedom holds its kingdom high above the reach of other survivors. Its sharp vision and the enthusiastic mannerism to dive and rise up again glorify its affinity.

PoliteActivist:
There's no such thing as soul mate. Proof: in olden days of arranged marriages: zero divorce
These days of soul mate marriages: divorces everywhere

Arranged marriage, zero divorce but a lot of internal tsunami and unhappiness.

You partially right. However, most of these attributes remain with us where we marry our soulmates. Original feeling is different from fake ones. Where one marries one's soulmate, both of them are good and natural about being lovers for years despite challenges in marriage. Commitment and sacrifices from both sides add value to the relationship for personal satisfaction and fulfilment.

How to Keep Your Employees Motivated

Employees and their attitudes and dedication towards your business are a key factor in the success of any organisation. As the business owner, you are naturally excited about your vision for the business and making it a success. But you should not assume that your employees will automatically feel the same way.

Since the switch is still working, start saving for repairs or replacement. It might just suddenly fail on you.

A picture exists on nairaland of a chap that changed his to springs.

I was the one that changed from balloon to spring that time. The air balloon is one of the main problems with GX470. I used it for 4 years then sold it off.

Thanks everybody. We spent about an hour from 2am to 3am before we can rescue the dog. It was so easy for him to put his snout and head inside the 8 by 7 inch hole. But to remove is wahala. After several attempts, we lift the 4 legs up, turn him round 180 degrees, press the two ears back and push little by little until it is out. We hope he has learnt his lesson. Anyway we relocate him to another area pending the time he will be like 3-4 months. I appreciate everybody for your concern and contributions.

This two months old dog get stucked while trying to come out of his cage. We have tried all angles

Between ASUU strike, Ignorant students and unappreciative parents is it time for ASUU to change its Ideology?

By Dr. Abdelghaffar Amoka

I have read several comments from students and parents calling ASUU greedy who is always asking for money. They think all these billions ASUU is asking from the government is shared among the Lecturers. It is either they have refused to read all the publications on why ASUU is on strike or they can't comprehend it. The last time the salary of Lecturers was reviewed was in 2009 and unfortunately since then, ASUU has never demanded for salary increase. A graduate Assistant net salary is less than 95k and a Professor net salary is about 350k. The rest of us falls in between. Lecturers salary would have surely been increased if the strike is for increment and the Government is even more willing to increase salary than fund the universities to be good for the masses. The declaration of ASUU strike after exhausting all engagement avenues for the past 10 years has being on adequate university funding and not salary increment.

When ASUU started the struggle, they seems to have adopted the Communism ideology rather than the Welfarism approach like most other unions. They believe every Nigerian should have access to affordable quality education. A lot of them experienced what education was like up till 80s before it crumbled during the military and as a result they took up the tough challenge to make government fund our university education to regain the lost glory. And unfortunately our students and graduates termed their Lecturers greedy for forcing government to properly fund the universities as they established more.

Those expansions you see in BUK aside the CBN funded International Institute for Islamic Banking and Finance was achieved with TETFund and NEEDS Assessment. All the new structures you see in ABU aside the CBN Centre of Excellence, are all TETFund and NEEDS Assessment funded. The same applies to other universities. The State governments now site universities and use TETFund to develop the structures. That would not have been possible without ASUU strike. ASUU strike forced government to establish the TETFund after 2009 strike and NEED Assessment came up after 2013 strike. And ASUU did not just push for the establishment of TETFund, they also suggested how to generate funds for TETFund.

And the salaries of the supposed "Greedy Lecturers" have not changed for 10 years.

Meanwhile, it appears that all what parents and students want is just the certificate. They are not bothered about the quality of the degree. So, why fight for quality education for someone who do not think the fight is necessary?

There are 4 stakeholders in education. The Government, the Lecturers, the students and the parents. Since FG don't wish to fund education and the parents and students don't see anything wrong with FG prioritizing education, maybe we need to start telling ASUU NEC to change ideology and forget this Communism ideology that is attracting more enemies than friends. It is time to adopt the Welfarism ideology. University Lecturers as human capital developers are as important as CBN workers. We should fight for the review of the salary of Lecturers to be made equivalent to what they earn at CBN, allow tuition to be introduced by government for only those that can afford it. Who ever want his kids to go to the university and can't afford it should go for bank loan. With that the students and parents will appreciate ASUU's struggle but by then it may be too late to change the hands of time.

It will be in the best interest of the students, parents and the country to join ASUU to fight this fight. If we define our priorities well, rather than renovating NASS with 37b naira, spend billions to put up administrative buildings and purchase exotic cars for Legislators and Executives, the fund is there to revitalize the universities to such a standard that they will be able to generate funds for themselves.

CHIP WHIP: FRSC DENIES PRODUCTION AND ISSUANCE OF ILLEGAL NUMBER PLATE IN KANO.

The attention of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been drawn to the existence of a number plate issued with the wrong spelling of "CHIP WHIP" instead of the correct spelling of CHIEF WHIP to the Kano State House of Assembly. We wish to state categorically that the said number plate did not originate from any of the FRSC Number Plate production centres, neither was it issued by the Corps.

We are therefore making it abundantly clear to members of the public that FRSC as the lead agency in road traffic management and safety administration in the country has nothing to do with the said number plate as some people are insinuating on some social media platforms. For the avoidance of doubt, FRSC with its International Quality Management certification (ISO 9001: 2008) has rigorous quality procedures for producing and issuing any of its security documents which makes the possibility of such obvious grammatical errors on any of its licences an impossibility.

Consequently, the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi has ordered the Sector Commander of Kano State to investigate the origin of the purported number plate with a view to bringing the perpetrators of the illegal act to book. Furthermore, he has directed all field commands across the country to be on vigilance and clampdown on producers and issuers of fake number plates.

To this end, he calls on members of the public to immediately report any act of such illegality against all FRSC security documents, while assuring of the competence and diligence of the Corps in carrying out all its assignments geared toward ensuring safer road environments for safety and security of all Nigerians.

Awesome. Eventually the actuator may have problem like the headlamp wipers of W124 Benz series.

In the real world the best vehicle between those two is the Subaru Forester, more reliable and all wheel drive makes it the best option for Nigerian roads. Getting parts is where things get coma.

Take a look at the best selling CUV and you will find Forester in top 10

Thanks very much Sir. I am very interested knowing availability of spare parts for both Forester and Santa Fe in Nigeria.

seanfer:
How about the AC, and the Santa-fe is balanced on durable. I keep telling people that there are cheaper and good brands as alternative to Toyota and Honda.

The one I tested was with 2.7L engine, 170 horsepower @ 6000 RPM, AWD.
The AC was very crispy and responsive. The engine was peppy and the ride had road manners. The only snag was the engine noise was a bit high for me like 2.4L RAV4. I guess it was the way it was tuned. Not many people will like this.

I test drove a 2004 Santa Fe with 2.7L engine today.. it picked and drove like RAV4. If not for the badge, one could almost mistake for a Japanese

seanfer:
More people are buying Kia/Hyundai in place of the almighty Honda/Toyota.. They are cheaper and with god maintenance you will enjoy it.

I just noticed that Hyundai/Kia was the 3rd largest car manufacturers in 2017.

seanfer:
For me I will go for the Santa-Fe.. More Mechanics are working on hyundai/Kia.. Parts are available compared to Subaru...

Thanks very much for this info. I notice Kia/Hyundai products are getting common nowadays on Nigeria roads.

2006 Subaru vs Santa Fe

I don't want to sound too critical but I tell u if his aim was to employ 3000 Africans then airline business is the wrong place to invest in

Who knows maybe he wants to build like 5 airports plus 25 aircrafs .
