1. Economics is not compulsory. If you have Government or History, you are good to go. You don't even need to pass it in O level once you have other subjects that can take over.
2. Your question is not clear
3. A faculty course FSS - statistics for social sciences. The level at which you'll take it varies from school to school. Then another one in your department called Politimetrics
4. Yes - My combination back then was - Govt, CRS, Lit, Eng and Yoruba. My Maths was E8 and Economics D7.

my broda, I read anything I come across,
Novel, inspiring books, history name it.
What I mean is, I will never waste my time reading anything that has to do with buhari
That many people are still yet to see Buhari for what he truly is baffles me to no end.

If I can read all these, then I will be able to read the whole of nigeria's constitution in 2 minutes. (Who get yeye time)
All I know is, Buhari and his whole nomadic idiots are mad and they all belong to animal farm species.
In fact they are just mad and insane .
They should come and bear me in mushin
Just like a good sword needs a whetstone to keep its edge so does a mind needs books. Learn how to read no matter how voluminous, it makes you better and sharpens your mind

I agree with your view on Buhari and his team though.
Politics › Of Hate Speeches, ‘presidential’ Rodents, And Buhari’s Health- Bola Bolawole by Bekwarra(op): 10:12am On Aug 31, 2017
“KILL them; kill them; kill them” – Candidate Muhammadu Buhari during the 2011 presidential campaign in Minna, Niger state.


Hate speeches and dangerous rumours are the emotive ingredients that give birth to pogroms the world over. Seeing both on the rise in this country, it makes sense that we try to nip them in the bud. It does appear, however, that the APC/Muhammadu Buhari administration is not getting the desired cooperation and support from the people in this regard. There is the suspicion that the administration simply wants to use hate speech as red herring and an excuse to clamp down on opposing views and opponents, just like it has tried to use its so-called war on corruption. Just like it has been selective in its war against corruption, this government has been selective as well in what it determines to be hate speech. It has narrowed it down to criticisms of the government or critical questions about what ails the president while completely ignoring the dangerous but patently false rumours circulating in the North that Buhari’s ill health was as a result of poison organised by an APC party chieftain from the South-West.
The ground is therefore being laid for an attack on people of the South-West in case of any eventualities concerning Buhari. Government has done nothing to dispel and combat this dangerous rumour. Government appears to have also taken sides as Nigerians trade hate speeches; just like it has been one-sided in its critical appointments and in the allocation of resources, favouring the Muslim areas of the North against the Middle Belt and the entire South. Hate speeches by IPOB, Niger Delta militants and pro-democracy activists from the South must be viciously put down while Arewa “quit orders,” Fulani herdsmen’s atrocities, etc. are to be tolerated, even encouraged. This administration is seen generally to be hypocritical and dishonest. While it applies strict rules on others, it allows itself the luxury of laissez-faire. Many important members of this administration have been cited for double-speak and volte-face. The party itself has been accused of brazenly reneging on many of its election promises.
ADVERTISING
inRead invented by Teads
Talking of hate speech, President Buhari himself is a culprit. His campaign speech quoted above is one. With a spear swirling over his head in different directions, he called on his supporters in Hausa to “kill them” many times. His “monkeys and baboons will be soaked in blood” speech during the same 2011 presidential elections is also well known. It is likely that Buhari defenders will say he was trying to warn against rigging of the election but in the aftermath of those speeches, thousands of innocent Nigerians, mostly from the South and including Youth corpers, were murdered in chilling and cold blood across the North. Had the South retaliated, we might not have had the Nigeria whose “unity” Buhari lately described as non-negotiable and is ready to kill to defend, judging by his marching orders on the country ‘s military chiefs last week! Physician, heal thyself! Buhari has got to purge himself first before he will be qualified to point accusing fingers at others. When some talk of the “harshness” of Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state on Buhari, have we forgotten how Lai Mohammed ceaselessly poured invectives on former President Goodluck Jonathan? Who invented the phrase “clueless and incompetent”? Fayose, Femi Fani-Kayode, and the PDP spokesperson, Dayo Adeyeye all rolled into one have not done half what Lai Mohammed did to Jonathan and PDP. Yet, he was not arrested; he was not even threatened. Why can’t APC/Buhari behave similarly to their own traducers? Rather than unleash the armed forces on those demanding self-determination – which Buhari supports and campaigns for, for the Palestinians and Western Sahara! – why can’t this government ignore them if it cannot dialogue with them, just like Jonathan/PDP ignored the then River state Gov. Rotimi Amaechi when he threatened that APC would form a parallel government and make the country ungovernable if it did not win the 2015 presidential election? Amaechi is, today, a Minister of the Federal Republic. We can go on and on!
There are so many other statements that important members of this government have made that have returned to dog their steps; even as the embarrassing in-fighting between the various discordant power blocs within the Presidency show-cases absence of discipline, effective coordination, and coherence in the Buhari presidency. Witness, for instance, the dog-fight between the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation and the acting chairman of the EFCC! As they say: Divided, they fall! Triple-barrel Minister, Babatunde Raji Fashola, boasted he would fix power supply in six months; more than two years down the line, he has left us worse than he met us. APC chieftain, Tony Momoh, boasted that if they did not fix the country in two years, Nigerians should stone them. Two years gone, they have fixed nothing. They met fuel at N86 per litre and boasted it would be more than halved but now it is N145 per litre. They met the Naira exchange rate at less than N200 to a US dollar but is now closer to N400 that N300. What have they improved upon since they came on board? What pisses off many Nigerians is their lack of integrity to admit their shortcomings; own up to the promises they made; and plead with us for understanding, patience, and cooperation. Instead, they have always tried to be clever by half; play the sophist; and draw the wool over our eyes. This way, they have lost the respect of many and forfeited the cooperation they sorely need.
Tell me, how many Nigerians believe the story that rodents ransacked and ruined the president’s office in his absence? It is a possibility, though, but because of the pedigree of this administration, not many will believe this as anything short of tales by the moonlight. The late Oba Asanike of Ibadan land once cried out to a bewildered nation that rodents had sacked him from the palace. And there were reports of rodents invading the White House of former President Jimmy Carter. As embarrassing as the event may seem, it is possible that rodents had actually caused some havoc in Buhari’s office and sacked the president. Needless to ask questions concerning whether there were no cleaners opening and cleaning the office during the president’s absence. What secrets were locked up in there that the place was never opened? We are not a nuclear-power nation, or else we might say perhaps the nuclear button or control room was stationed there. Because of the secretive nature of this government is why many are suspecting that the rodents’ story, as critical as it may seem in this era of Lassa fever spreading across the country, is a ruse to buy the president more time to rest or continue his medication, which had seen him spend 104 days non-stop in London. Whichever is the case; we should err on the side of caution and not take the risk of adding Lassa fever to whatever may be ailing Mr. President. Besides, the Buhari we had seen in the last one week sure needs more rest and we should indulge him with it. Like I have said, this president has become a bull in Nigeria’s china shop or a tsetse fly that perches dangerously on a man’s scrotum. Care is needed to extricate it. I know that many Nigerians will be disappointed that Buhari has not lived up to their expectations as a patriot imbued with the love of the nation and ready to make sacrifices for it. We should not force him. If he does not have it, then, he does not have it.
Some situations are uncanny and have a way of going from bad to worse. We had thought Jonathan was the ultimate evil from which we should run – but two years of Buhari and we know better. There was still some order and cohesion in Jonathan’s administration. Soon, there could be fisticuffs between the Minister of Justice and the EFCC boss judging by the way things have deteriorated between them. And it does appear there is none who can call them to order. We never will be able to know whether matters would have been worse than this were Jonathan still the one in the saddle. APC boasts that the country would have collapsed – but we never can tell. Whatever we say remains firmly in the realm of conjectures. Why many now think we might have been better off with Jonathan, though, is the sheer cluelessness and incompetence – Aah! Those Lai Mohammed epithets coined specifically for Jonathan! – of the APC/Buhari administration; prompting many to conclude that they were mere power-mongers not prepared for governance in the real sense of the word. They keep shifting the goal post on when the economy will recover and get out of recession. They have got the country steeped in indebtedness with practically nothing to show for it in development terms. Crime waves are surging, with new entrants more than discounting the modest gains made on the Boko Haram front. Unemployment and suffering like never before experienced have submerged the land. Could it have been as bad as this – or could it have, in fact, been worse – had “Messiah” Buhari not come on board? Like I said, all such suppositions will forever remain in the realm of conjecture.
LAST WORD: “Eni kan l’o mo”, as my people would say. It is the same as what Rita Marley, widow of Bob Marley, referred to as “who feels it knows it.” People are dying – and many of it due to rampaging economic recession. Thursday before I sat down at Ikeja, Lagos to begin to scribble this in an office that has forgotten when last it saw power supplied by PHCN; I had stopped by at Shoprite to buy lunch and ran into a professional colleague who announced the passing away of another colleague. What killed him, I screamed. Economic recession, he announced without batting an eyelid. Two Saturdays ago, I was in Osogbo, Osun state for the burial of a friend’s wife, who got felled by marauders on the notorious Lokoja-Abuja road. I can go on and on. I dare to say that from what we read and from personal experiences, life gets cheaper by the day under this administration!

First you will have to show proof of your work (books)especially if they are online (give the link ) or any other proof that you are truly a writer. Also make sure the your books are related to your course.
Secondly, you can use your brother as your sponsor or even a non-family member but they(especially the non-family member) will have to show commitment by paying your tuition fee or pay the said amount into your bank account.
Thirdly, you need to get an offer before you can apply for trv. So first apply to schools for admission and once you get it you can now put the required documents together and apply for trv (temporal resident visa).
NB: Ensure you submit your own statement of account since you have been working for about 3 years now

Good evening everyone
I really appreciate the contributions of seasoned members here and those who came back to give good testimonies. I'm yet to read all the pages on this thread but I'm still on the first few pages. I had to rush here because what I've read so far strikes fear into me. Please I crave tour indulgence as I want you guys to please help me out on this dilemma giving me fears.
I graduated in 2014 with a 2:1 in Political Science. I am planning on applying to University of Saskatchewan for an MA in Political Studies and Memorial University for an MSC in Political Science. The dilemma now is that I've seen many people talking about letter of reference from their workplace but I've not really worked in a workplace in the real sense of it. My jobs since graduation has been using my skills as a freelance writer and tutor to make cash through hustling. How do it go about this?
Secondly, I want to use my brother as my sponsor and he's based in the UK, how plausible is that? Can I also use a non-family member? Should I start my application before or after my admission application.
Thanks in anticipation of a timely and favourable response.

So na today e start? Nonsense, I used 5 naira to buy biscuits in 2009, I couldn't use d same when hero jona was done. U guys think inflation is a one year stuff. Tell me, when was d last time some of u ever used naira coins? Inflation is not just a phenomena dat springs up any day, a fertile ground was made by GEJ as far as I am concerned. No kudos to Buhari either. U are using GDP to blind illiterate, well I am not one of them. Oil has never been d largest component of our GDP in 2014 it was 9% and as of 2016 it stood at 8.3%, but the irony here is that oil has been d major source of revenue to the government. GDP has numerous component, d highest contributor been service industry, den we hv agriculture nd constriction, none which rakes in what oil does. Rather the service industry takes more from the coffers of the country, this is because of the unproductive nature of the Civil service, both state nd federal. What GEJ would hv compared was d amount of money oil brought in during his regime, nt GDP. U can fool all d people most of the time, but u can't fool all d people all the time. Pls before anyone starts insulting me, he or she should pick an economies text book nd read of GDP or go through d records on d National Bureau of Statistics site.
Oga park well. Like the writer said, we don't need all your epistles and blame game. We need practical things we can relate to. #5 biscuit was still on sale by the time Jonathan left. There were no radical changes in price between 2009 and 2015 compared to when your god took over.
Politics › Villa's Ballistic Missiles: Between Jonathan And Buhari by Bekwarra(op): 12:20am On Aug 27, 2017
Ahead of a possible ballistic war between two unstable and unpredictable world leaders, North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and America’s Donald Trump, Nigerian leaders are already deploying their own warheads in surrogate warfare. As Kim publicly tests his warheads which brought out counter threats from America’s Trump, ex-President Goodluck Jonathan fired his own warhead in the statement that he left a robust economy. Buhari didn’t allow it land before sending his, through Garba Shehu, his Media Assistant, that Jonathan presided over a serially raped economy. Replying on claim that, but for the oil price collapse, Buhari would have fared more excellently, Reno Omokri, a Jonathan aide, shot another warhead: “Oil constitutes only 15% of Nigeria’s GDP and thus a fall in the price should not lead to a collapse of the Nigerian economy.”
In convincing Nigerians on who runs or ran a better economy, Buhari and Jonathan unfortunately deploy highly technical economic terms which have no place in Nigerian people’s lexicon. What the people know is, in 2015, a kongo of gari cost X and today, it is X2; they needed Y amount to cook draw-soup during Jonathan era and now, it is Y3. All the dogo turenchi about oil, GDP and other economic jargons are absolute nonsense, as far as the people are concerned. If they didn’t know, a spiral in GDP does not equal social growth. On this score, the Buhari government gets greater people’s scorn. Yes, Nigerians are aware that the theft of their money under Jonathan was massive but they also have empirical evidence that government money is still being liberated into personal coffers today. If in doubt, look at a National Corruption Report released during the week which says that even under the nose of self-touted Seriki Amana, $4.6b bribe exchanged hands. Let Buharists dwell less on economic technicalities and work on verifiable ways of changing the lives of the people.

ABAH ADAH, PAUL CHIAMA
Before the advent of crude oil, agriculture was the mainstay of Nigeria’s economy. Then, the country’s economy thrived; food was available and affordable. People, therefore, did not go hungry, except in extreme cases occasioned by a serious factor.
With the oil boom era, the country and its people shifted attention from agriculture to oil and gas. Subsequently, graduates of Agricultural Science, Soil Science, Agricultural Extension, Agricultural Economics etc., looked for white-collar jobs in banks and other seemingly lucrative areas, including oil and gas. Little did people know that those who remained in agriculture would today be raking in millions and billions of naira, as their products now grace both local and international markets.
This gives an impeccable signal that agriculture is, perhaps, more viable than other sectors. Also, it is an indication that well planned investment in agriculture is not a futile effort. It suffices that some Nigerian farmers have successfully built some shining legacies that need to be emulated and replicated. Most of them, as observed, are politicians. In this edition, LEADERSHIP Friday brings to the fore Nigeria’s top ten biggest farmers.
OLUSEGUN OBASANJO (OBASANJO FARM)
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is not only a retired army officer, former head of state and politician, he is also a successful farmer. He owns Ota Farm, which is also called Obasanjo Farms. The large farm was formally opened on October 8, 1979, a week after Obasanjo handed over power to a civilian administration on October 1, 1979. At inception, the farm took off as Temperance Enterprises Limited (Farming Venture). It later became Obasanjo Farms Nigeria Limited.
Obasanjo Farms indeed took off in grand style, indication that Nigeria’s former president meant serious business. This probably accounts for the growth, expansion, sustainability and consolidation witnessed in the evolution of the farm, considering how it started and where it is now.
The farm took off with two layer houses containing 100, 000 birds each and five broiler houses of 12,000 each, in addition to two feed mills of three tons per hour each. The large farm, which has up to 7,000 workers started with four bulldozer operators. Today, Obasanjo makes up to N34million daily from Ota Farm, which has branches in Ibadan and Igbo-Ora, Oyo State. This is no small earning for the former president whose farm has played a significant role in the development of agriculture and food production.
Obasanjo also uses the farm complex at the Agbe L’ Oba House, Ota, the Ogun State headquarters of the farm, to hold political and diplomatic meetings.
ABDULSALAMI ABUBABAKAR (MAIZUBE FARMS)
What makes General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) significant today in Nigeria and beyond is not just his successful military career or the fact that he willingly handed over power to a democratically elected government in 1999 to usher in the Fourth Republic. He has a stake in the Nigerian agricultural sector, being the owner of Maizube Farms Limited, which is helping to cater for the food needs of many Nigerians today.
Maizube Farms Limited is located at Km 26, Minna-Bida Road, Minna, Niger State, where General Abubakar is from. The 500-hectare multi-product farm has both livestock and crop sections and today, it is proudly one of the stable sources of crop and animal products upon which Nigerians depend for food and other uses.
Just as General Abubakar gives appreciable time to his peacekeeping mission across the African continent, so also does he give a great deal of time and attention to his Maizube Farms.
MURTALA NYAKO (SEBORE FARMS)
Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd), the executive governor of Adamawa State may be more popular from the political perspective to many, but he is one of the most successful Nigerian farmers today. Few know that he is the owner of Sebore Farms in Mayo-Belwa, Adamawa State.
Murtala Nyako was born at Mayo-Belwa, to Alhaji Hamman-Yero, a notable merchant and Hajiya Maryam Daso who was keen on Islamic studies and herbal medicine, on August 27, 1943.
Nyako was born a cattle owner, as his mother had been allocated some cows for her offspring before his birth. So he started what has snowballed into an integrated commercial farm today as a cattle farm. Even throughout his career, in the Navy and in politics, Nyako was never distracted from developing and expanding his coast in the agricultural sector, the result of which is his success story today.
He commenced a sustainable crossbreeding programme of his local cattle with exotic superior sires in 1990 with very satisfactory results. He also got involved in the production of horticultural crops and his first commercial export of muskmelons to Europe, using a chartered aircraft, took place in January 1990. Nyako owns the largest mango farm in Nigeria, leading to his being popularly known as Baba Mai Mangoro (BMM). Exotic mangoes from his mango orchard of 50, 000 trees were first exported to Europe in 1993. He is also presently involved in the modern production of dates, passion fruit and bananas, pasture development breeding of Boer goats and farming.
Nyako is the president of the Horticultural Crops Growers Association of Nigeria, the Practicing Farmers Association of Nigeria and the Apex Farmers Association of Nigeria. He is the patron of numerous farmers’ commodity associations in the country.
USMAN DANTATA Jr. (ANADARIYA FARMS)
The young and enterprising Usman Dantata Jr., who is married to Rukaiya Indimi, daughter of multi-billionaire Borno businessman Mohammed Indimi, is the president/CEO of Anadariya Farms. The large poultry farm, which is located in Tiga, Bebeji local government area of Kano State, was started by the late business sage of Kano, Alhaji Usman Sanusi Dantata of the Dantata dynasty, in the 1960s. Anadariya Farms thrived well in poultry produce. For instance, it was noted for exporting poultry birds and eggs to Saudi Arabia twice a week using a Boeing 747 plane.
However, after decades of activity, the farm experienced some challenges and stopped operations until recently, when Dantata Jr. came on board and injected viability into the large farm. The CEO came with refined vigour, to ensure the farm maintains a successful track record. He has a background in investment and banking and was a trader of various commodities in Europe before coming back to Nigeria. He also has a certificate in feed production and broiler management obtained in North Carolina. Suffice it to say that he had equipped himself with the necessary training before stepping into the business.
This wealth of experience and pool of relevant knowledge may have been the reason for his decision to expand the services and operations of the farm to include a hatchery, production of broilers and layers, the production of feeds and the processing and sale of poultry products. Anadariya Farms produces above 3, 000 broilers weekly. This is one of Nigeria’s most viable farms, with its growing, diverse agricultural activities.
SIR JOSEPH I.A ARUMEMI-IKHIDE (OJEMAI FARMS)
Another modern farm with high level of activity and making great impact within the nation’s agricultural space is Ojemai Farms Limited owned by Ojemai Holdings. The farm, which is located in Edo State and owned by Sir J.I.A. Arumemi-Ikhide, the chairman of Arik Air, was established in 1984 with interest tilting towards livestock production. It took off as a local producer of pork and turkey meat. However, as years past by and business expanded in the farm, there was the need for expansion of scope of operations.
This led to new interest in production of broiler, catfish, fish fingerling and other forms of animal produce. The farm has grown to become one of the biggest farms in Nigeria and one of the nation’s prides in the agricultural sector.
ARINZE ONEBUNNE (JOVANA FARMS)
Prince Arinze Onebunne is the successful managing consultant and CEO of Jovana Farms, located in Mushin, Lagos. Onebunne specialises in the farming of animals such as grasscutters (greater cane rats), rabbits, quail, antelope, guinea pigs and fish, and so on. His high profile level of animal farming has taken him to over 30 states in Nigeria and to other countries as a seminar facilitator, advocate, training personnel and empowerment speaker.
The founder of Jovana Farms is also at the vanguard of modern fish and livestock farming in Nigeria, which is considered a fast growing and lucrative subsector of the nation’s economy today. With his vast experience and engagement in training and mentoring prospective animal farmers, he earns millions of naira not only from sales of animal products, but also from consultancy charges. Onebunne also carries out feasibility research, site survey and farm construction projects, as part of his professional services.
DR OLATUNDE AGBATO (ANIMAL CARE SERVICES KONSULT)
Dr Olatunde Agbato, a veterinary doctor, is the founder and president/CEO of Animal Care Services Konsult. Agbato, a graduate of the University of Ibadan (UI), became a viable player in the agricultural sector with the establishment of the company known commonly by its shortened name, Animal Care. The company has interests in commercial poultry production, commercial livestock feed milling, aquaculture, manufacturing, and procurement and distribution of animal health products. The company also undertakes provision of expert services for people with interest in animal farming, but who lack the know-how.
Animal Care was founded in 1979 and is located in Ogere Remo, Ogun State. The company concentrates majorly on poultry and veterinary services. It has continued to grow and has a subsidiary called Funtuna Farms, which is a poultry farming operation unit. Furthermore, it has a fish farm operation unit.
Agbato has over the years distinguished himself as a veterinary doctor cum farmer. He is a fellow of the College of Veterinary Surgeons of Nigeria; fellow, Farm Management Association of Nigeria; member, International Egg Commission, and has received many awards of recognition. Agbato is, indeed, one of the farmers who have sown under the sun and can now reap their harvests.
ABDULLAHI ADAMU (NAGARI INTEGRATED DAIRY FARM)
Nagari Integrated Dairy is one of the farms currently being operated in the country on a commercial level. It is reputed to be one of the largest single integrated dairy farms in Africa. It covers 1,200 hectares of land and has 7,000 Holstein cattle. In view of the quality of the products it churns out, the claim that it is among the top suppliers of high quality farm and dairy products in Africa is justified.
Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State and now a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is the man behind Nagari Integrated Dairy Farm. Although his fame on the political scene has overshadowed his agricultural exploits, Abdullahi can be described as an accomplished farmer. The success story of Nagari Integrated Farm is the result of the enterprising nature of this farmer, lawyer, engineer, technocrat and consummate politician.
Over the years, Nagari Integrated Dairy has invested in research and development, and in state-of-the-art dairy farming technology. The company has developed its own proprietary dairy farming expertise and methodologies. This has made it a benchmark for the efficient production of high quality dairy products.
ALHAJI WAHAB IYANDA FOLAWIYO (FOLAWIYO FARMS LIMITED)
Folawiyo Farms Limited, located on Yinka Folawiyo Avenue, Apapa, Lagos, was incorporated on October 4, 1985. It carries out integrated agricultural production, with branches in several states in Nigeria. It is owned by renowned business tycoon, philanthropist and the Baba Adinni of Nigeria, the late Alhaji Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo.
In matters concerning agriculture, Folawiyo Farms stands tall in all aspects. They are into livestock farming, fish farming, flour milling, agro-chemical production and distribution, agricultural consultancy, development and engineering, production and supply of agro-pesticides, farm tools, fertiliser services, horticulture, and so on.
Folawiyo’s journey to greatness began back in 1957 when he founded Yinka Folawiyo and Sons Limited, an import and export business empire that includes holdings in shipping, banking, construction, agriculture and energy. It is therefore not out of proportion to say Folawiyo’s business concerns traverse the entire length and breadth of the Nigerian economic terrain.
PETER ADENIYI (ANU-OLUWA FARMS)
Mr Peter Adeniyi, perhaps, did not understand fully the fortunes he was sowing to harvest when he founded Anu-Oluwa Farms in Ibadan, the ancient capital city of Oyo State. The farm, which has special interest in poultry and egg production for the Nigerian market, has become one of the largest farms in Nigeria.
The farm also sells livestock feeds and materials, table eggs, day-old chicks, point of lays, fish and fish fingerlings and livestock vaccines. Adeniyi is one of the most successful farmers in Nigeria.

Jahel:
DMT MOBILE AND PORTABLE TOILETS was conceived in 1992 when a young man, ISAAC DUROJAIYE a.k.a OTUNBA GADAFFI(SAN) mooted the idea of providing mobile toilets to serve outdoor events but this idea did not come into reality until 1996 when the first WAGON TOILET was manufactured locally. But in 1999 the company complemented its locally produced wagon toilets with about 30 plastic portable toilets imported from the UK. However, to fulfill a burning desire to localize production of the plastic toilets, the company acquired necessary technology, to start manufacturing high quality plastic mobile toilets in Nigeria in the year 2002. DMT MOBILE AND PORTABLE TOILETS are the pioneer mobile toilet company in Nigeria and at present the only manufacturer in the West African sub-region.
If they had someone like Otunba Gaddafi in their region, they wouldn't be celebrating the commissioning of toilets.
Only in Alaigbo will a governor be commissioning a feeling station while the fools go about ranting Stanel everywhere. Olafat in Ibadan is not your Stanel's mate kill yourself.

Justiceleague1:
You Igbo guys are some of the most wicked souls the world has ever seen. I went over the cone heads thread and by the time I got to the 3rd page, I was practically crying my heart out just because of two reasons
1. Despite the extraterrestrial and otherworldly efforts you guys are putting here, you still spared time and effort to decimate them and crush them to smithereens on their thread
2. You so much dealt with them that their commander in chief, general and leading tactician resorted to posting pictures of Nganti pure water, plates of amala and ewedu,bottles of ogogoro and chelsea,loaves of agege bread and zobo juice when I'm very sure the production capacity of University of Nigeria Nsukka Ventures dwarfs that of those companies in that aspect.
My main grouse with our lousy, uncouth, loud-mouthed and saucy neighbours from wasteland who happen to be first cousins to some exotic breeds of chimps is their vain-glorying. They think everybody hates them but I can assure them nobody hates them. Everyone just seems to be tired of their empty agbero like noice making and unbridled insolence. Although it's not a thing done by all of them, but it's done by most of them coneheads,especially those among them who grew up in the west. The way they go about shouting Igbos are against coneheads is nauseating. I look around my eastern brethren's region and I see people who don't give a rat ass about Coneheads and otapiapia dirty citizens. The only Igbo I see that seem to be a bit concerned about Coneheads are those on the internet and I'm very sure 90% of them are there to taunt them and not that they really care whether they get the republic of...whats the name of that ogogoro drinka that fell from the sky sef, or not.
I've seen this insecure muftau whimps suffering from an acute inferiority complex attack their masters Fulani, Hausa and also Edo, Uhrobo, Ikwerre, Tiv, Ijaw, Ibibio, Efik and a host of others here. Coneheads've made enemies of everybody. Coneheads have a siege mentality in which they think the whole world is against them. You all can continue wallowing in delusional grandeur but what I can assure you Coneheads is this, an average Igbo man on the street, an average Igbo woman in the market is less concerned about whether you get Oduduwa rep or not. You are so inconsequential to their life and living thus you are dispensable. Don't use the conduct of a few Igbo folks here to judge because I see you lot going about ranting like gorillas on heat with your obsession with Igbos and how they are holding you back. The folks you see here are doing all these to torment you psychologically, mentally and emotionally knowing how you are wired and the cry babies you can be. You are emotionally weak and gullible thus they use your weakness to torment you.
Igbos like every other tribe have their own challenges which we acknowledge and will always work on, we are not perfect and will never pretend to be, like you lots do. But one thing is clear, as imperfect as we are, we are not your equals in any field of human development. No matter the indices, we are not on the same pedestal.
We are better by FAR

Grandsoles is owned BT Oyedele Onibata whose real name is Oyekam Oyedele. He's based in Ibadan, we attended the same secondary school and we both graduated from the University of Ibadan. He makes quality shoes and you will never see him naming the Parda, Louise Vutton, Dolche and Gabana, Tomi Hilfinger etc. It's more of quality than profit unlike some people.

The Executive Director, Olori Bjorg Solarin, an architect designed a plan on two acres of land bought at Alausa Oregun road Ikeja for the printing press and within six months the printing press was completed.
Mr. Wiggin of the Bank came to inspect the press and fulfilled his promises paid full amount for the machines.
On August 1972, Medipharm was successfully printed and delivered on the commissioning day of the printing press by Prof. Thomas, the then Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. That was the beginning of Literamed Publications taking on its own life. Lantern Books started with the publication of Verbal and Quantitative reasoning. The success recorded informed the publication of educational books which stated with Comprehensive Social studies. The first edition published in 1992.
