Politics › Re: CCT Trial: You Have No Power To Try Me – Saraki Dares Tribunal Judge by benji93: 5:27pm On Apr 27, 2016
ikwubaba:
Thank you very much.

Watching the drama so far, why didn't Saraki take his case to another court to disqualify the Judge? why bring it to his own court. Aim is just to harass. Issue is why can't we just hear this case? There is room for appeal abi?

My take is that the mess is too putrid to be exposed. reason why a team of over 80 lawyers are working top gear to stall the case instead. i.e. not to be heard at all in the first place.
very likely though, there is no way a person of his calibre would be sentenced without substantial evidence confirming his complicity in the crime, he must be afraid of something, iam looking forward to seeing how this will end sha

“Even if he is under investigation, he can still continue with his duty. The defendant in this case despite being charged to court is still carrying out his duty as a senator.” this statement should fairly answer the question as to why umar could still preside over the case, but despite this, we are talking about the case of a man judging another man, this is far more delicate than that of the senator, but this case is so complicated that we do not know whom to believe, we are not sure if the EFCC had substantial evidence to implicate him in a criminal offence,but some men higher up offered him this case in place of rendering his case void. what we hear and watch could be different from what is actually happening in the background of context of this case, given the infamous state of our judicial system, we should just stand by and observe the trajectory of this case. Until a law court sends one of those massive looters to jail, i would still maintain my stand that the Nigerian judicial system is far from independent.

Politics › National Security or Privacy? by benji93(op): 10:37pm On Apr 21, 2016
In the wake of the recent leak of information by Edward Snowden that the National Security Agency of the US government is snooping on its citizens and collecting personal data, there comes to light a debate that we cannot but discuss. Can the government violate our privacy for the sake of national security? or can we find a middle ground between contending necessities? What are the merits and demerits of this standpoints. Keep your comments coming in.

A high school, 6 feet 9 inches tall basketball player Jonathan Nicola, a refugee from sudan currently residing in canada, claims he is 17 years old However the Canadian authorities arrested him for a supposed misrepresentation of information, they claim that he looks very much like a 30- year old. At the middle of the attached picture is the player in question. could this man really be 17 years old, or we have just begun to see cases of age-cheating in basketball.

TonyeBarcanista:
SAP flopped because IBB mismanaged the whole thing for his selfish interest.

Already, businesses are operating on a value of the naira that is over 100% more than the official value. in fact, the naira is technically devaluated due to scarcity of the dollar. What we are saying is for the government to allow the naira to be officially devalued so that businesses can freely operated. This will even boost our export as our goods would be cheaper in the international market, and that would help local economy.


however, it will make import more expensive but we can't depend on import forever
boost wetin export, and you think the cost of production will not increase correspondingly when the naira is eventually devalued, 'and it will make import more, expensive but we can't depend on it forever', what are you saying bros. i am not an economist, but i undestand it when logic beckons, this is absolutely myopic, 1. even the so called developed countries still import goods, but the export exceeds the imports, that excess builds their reserves better, if imports become more expensive if we eventually devalute the naira, owing to the fact that we hope we wont depend on imports for long, it will still amounts to the same thing, 'suffering', in whichever case devaluation or not, we would suffer , before we eventually emerge with a highly industrialized state, by the devaluation, we are only postponing the ever waiting suffering, but all the things being equal, if the government means well for us, and the gods mean well for them, non devaluating the naira will benefit us in the long run, we maintain, while we try to get back on track, though it amounts to fighting on two different fronts, but with all hands on the desk why can we not fight this. our problem is that we do not want to suffer now,but that will be at best temporary, and as much as i always hope something pops up to sooth our pains, during this dark period, we have to make a decision, it is either we suffer now, so the future reaps the benefits or we enjoy now, while the future gets plunged into hell(infact we fit join the next generation suffer am if we no take care). Whether you like it or not one generation must suffer for the rot caused by the previous generation for the next generation to be ushered into the light. You cannot break an omellette without breaking eggs. I rest my case.

That is why your English is bad. You learnt it from the Ghanaians, i guess. OLODO
Actually that guy was right, Ghanaians speak better english than Nigerians, asides, some colleges do not require Ghanaians to submit toefl. We must admit this, our pronounciations are really terrible, i remember i once pronounced 'turf' as 'terf' and one compatriot laughed at me in public i felt a jolt run down me at that moment, he said why would i say 'terf' instead of 'toff'. i even felt i was wrong.

Politics › Re: Fulani Herdsmen Attack Soldiers In Agatu, Benue State by benji93: 10:22pm On Apr 20, 2016
Almajiri1:
Fulani herdsmen have reportedly kidnapped a police man after engaging a joint team of the Nigerian Army and Mobile Police Force personnel in Agatu, Benue state in a gun duel.
One of the policemen, Corporal Ebiakpo Akparakazi, was also reported missing during the attack.
The Benue state police spokesman, ASP Moses Yamu, who confirmed the incident, said that search teams have been sent out to find the missing officer.
Another youth, Inalegwu Chele, was also reported missing during the attack.
It was gathered that the herdsmen opened fire on the security team who were on their way to investigate an alleged killing of two youths, after receiving a distress call.
Reports also say the two youths who were allegedly shot by the herdsmen were rescued, and are now receiving treatment.

Education › Re: Top 5 Student Visa Interview Questions And Answers To Study Abroad by benji93: 1:45pm On Apr 20, 2016
study4free:
Many people all around the world love to pursue their higher education from Western Countries and need pass through visa interview, and the reason behind this is nothing but the top class education they provide.

One of the major hurdles people used to face during their journey to study abroad is answering the tricky interview questions which will help them qualify for educational visa.

No matter the educational background and financial security you possess; preparation is must while attending these interviews. This article will detail some very common Student Visa Interview Questions And Answers To Study Abroad.

Question 1:
Why do you want to study in United States of America?

Answer: The whole world knows that academic experience in USA is something unquestionable, and certificate from a reputed American University is widely valued by all countries.
Most of the United States Universities offer excellent research opportunities, and internship programs which will catalyze my career growth for sure.

Question 2:
Why United States? Can’t you try in United Kingdom or Canada?

Answer: The quality of education in United States is much impeccable than UK or Canada. Syllabus in U.S offers the right blend of theoretical and practical knowledge which we will not be able to possess anywhere in this world.

Question 3:
What are your future plans after completing graduation from US?

Answer: Upon successful completion of graduation, I will return back to my native country, and will search for jobs.

Question 4:
Will you surely come back to your native nation after possessing a graduate degree?

Answer: Why not? Our land is blessed with opportunities, and I wish to exploit it to the fullest. I wish to pursue my graduation from US to make myself fit to adapt myself to this competitive world.

Question 5:
Do you know anything about the City which you are going?

Answer: Yes…I have referred Internet, and have learned about this city. I have heard that the city is blessed with friendly people, and the weather is quite similar to my native land. I hope these things will help me in adapting quickly.

Conclusion
You can expect many other questions from the executive in charge of the visa interview which includes, the details of the University which you are going to apply, the course which you are going to pursue, details of scholarship if any, your family background etc.

You should closely understand all the questions, and should answer them genuinely. Questions about your academic abilities and queries regarding scores in GRE, GMAT, SAT, TOEFL, IELTS can also be expected during the time of the visa interview.

http://study4free.com.ng/top-5-student-visa-interview-questions-answers-study-abroad/
You are missing the most important points, what shows you will come back to your home country? and moreover the answer to question 2 is just not good enough.some Canadian and Uk schools can stand alongside the best schools in Usa. I think in this regard you should probably be more specific, if you have a specialty already in mind, you can talk about the specific strengths of ur school in that particular field, that should be enough to qualify why you have chosen usa, your passion puts you on a better footing, asides that all in all. No matter how much you answer their questions rightly, they can still reject you, they are trained to find fault in your application. However if God says yes, who can say no.

knack is an English word not pidgin its pure English.
Mr macmillian, as much as 'knack' is an English word it is not in anyway connected to the word 'knack' in pidgin, i only used the word 'knock' as a reference due to its close connection to the usage of 'knack', moroever, 'knack' is not a word that is normally used in colloquial conversation, so logically, it is most likely not the root of the pidgin word 'knack'. I rest my case.
Romance › Re: Guys, 8 Habits In A Lady That Shows She Will Be Sleeping Around In Marriage by benji93: 10:00pm On Apr 19, 2016
wristbangle:
I have come te realise no matter how hard you try to please some ladies, nothing can ever stop them from cheating on you. It will be better if a guy can identify these bad traits as well as how best to deal with such ladies whether to terminate the relationship abruptly or cope with it.

I will be opening our eyes with this write-up so that we will be familiar to these habits

1. She becomes your enemy when you are broke

Life is not a bed of roses, therefore, everyday cannot be lived like a christmas day but some ladies don't even care. All they want is money coming out of your pocket each time they are in need, and failure to do so makes her becomes your enemy. If a lady starts nagging and threatening to dump you because you didn't fulfil your monetary promise, just know that there's probability that she will be cheating on you in marriage in a bid to get that which she desires.
It is so dis-heartening that you missed the most important point, 'a woman whose man has a high tendency to cheat, also has a high tendency to cheat'' a story about an unrighteous tendecy without considering a co-human influence is a story for the gods, tell them if they can hear you.

2. She flirts with several guys

A flirt will always be a flirt anytime any day. Don't ever think marriage can change a lady that flirts except God delivers her from the act. Some of them flirt with several guys and will deem it right saying she only flirts with them and doesn't allow them get under her skirt. A lady with this ideology will no doubt be promiscuous when married.

3. She is not sexually satisfied with you

Just when you're bleeping a lady and she reading a newspaper or picks her phone and start replying her mentions on nairaland :O , just know that you never find wife at all oooo.. To worsen the case, if the guy's joystick is as small as that of Tosyne2much and inexperienced in several sex positions like Lalasticlala, she will definitely go to Kinglekan to satisfy herself. Such a lady is very risky to marry.

4. She accepts ridiculous money and gifts from guys

I don't know why some ladies have no standard that they can beg for ridiculous things from guys.. This habit only portrays how cheap these categories of ladies are, and I can't but pity any guy that falls in their trap. Even if a dude that marries them is as righteous as Jesus Christ they will still cheat on him.

5. She receives calls every now and then

When you're with a lady and her phone keeps ringing every 5mins it's better you have a heart to heart talk with her otherwise, you might end up with a miserable marriage life.. That is the way it will it will continue when married. That was the reason why Toyin Aimakhu's husband dumped her when he could no longer cope with such habit.

6. She is too secretive

When a lady is unnecessarily being secretive with a questionable character, then something is up her sleeves. It will be a big risk to marry such a lady otherwise you may have yourself to blame.

7. Her yansh no dey sit down for one place grin

Just when a lady is always found everywhere, bro you need to think twice before making that lifetime choice. She no dey use ear hear club house, pepper soup joint, birthday party and the likes.

8. She's very happy to have various toasters

Guys, when a lady is very elated and prides herself based on the number of chairmen stalking her, then there's high tendency for her to cheat in marriage.. When issues arise some of them will even be threatening you with break up and that they are only managing you cos they've got better guys toasting them.

olaitoro:
mama; it has Igbo origin from the word mara as in 'mmiri mara mu' to englised the Igbo word, folks start saying rain mama me.

knack; this also has Igbo origin. In igbo langauge knack is kuo, for eg
english: it is 12o'clock
igbo: o 'kuo'la 12o'clock
pidgin; e don knack 12o'clock.

yeye: this is Igbo word used to show stupidity, it is used as eyiye eg
english: this child is stupid
igbo; nwata na eyiye eyiye
pidgin; this pikin don they yeye


to further buttress my point, that is why Igbos laugh at yoruba name like AdeYEYE.
cool, but i disagree on the origin of knack , it is probably an adulterated form of 'knock', 'knock' sounds like an unstressed version of 'knack in the british accent, moreover the meaning of 'knock' actually relates to the usage of 'knack'

You missed it, 'Our currency is not stable', can you mention one currency in the world that is stable. You need more information on commerce, FOREX, dollarization, International use of the dollar before you dispose my arguments. Do you know in the last 6 months China tightened its Foreign Exchange Policy - twice. Sticter than Nigerias. Don't read from investopedia. Rather read commercial terms and international trade from WTO domiciled source.
Well i can say i now know a little about dollarization(it does not even answer the question i asked you), i stumbled across it, when trying to confirm your assertions. no currency is stable but in the long run some currencies are more stable than others, in a more scientific language, i would use the word elastic limit, some currencies are on the average more resilient than others of the pack. My friend, my speciality is not in economics,though i know a little abt it,fortunately you now sound as someone who knows much about economics, so i would like you to point me towards a particular direction, i would like you to give me a specific url source, to refer to, i have tried tried reading through some WTO documents, but no mention of the US dollar as the official legal tender. I hope i am not asking for too much.

Let me go through my incoterms and UST codes before giving you a cogent response, but it's unheard of by international principle to conduct international trade in a local currency.
Crude oil is never sold in Naira
Listen bro, i am not an economist, but listen to yourself, you sound as if you are not sure of your assertions, it is unheard of does not mean it is law , convention does not necessarily mean law. The world has adopted the us dollar as a reliable legal tender for certaian reasons, we cannot obviously conduct our oil transactions with other countries in naira. Our currency is not stable, the recnt brouhaha is just an example, however if any other currency can beat the US dollar to its appropriateness then you would see entities moving towards the other side of the boat.

Thumbs up man.
I have been thinking. all international trade in the world is transacted in dollars. It amazes Nigerians are falling for the cheap APC media stunt as usual.
China wants to give Nigeria Yuan in exchange for a payback in dollars. China is so smart, give them yuan, protect their foreign reserve and the detriment of Nigeria paying back in dollars
I would like you to clarify your point, by comparing 'I was the only one in Nigeria that understands the International Commercial Terms and Laws' and 'all international trade in the world is transacted in dollar', i can deduce that you actually mean that the use of dollar as legal tender is a law binding all members of the world trade organization. I would like you to tell me where you got that information from, cos i just read an article titled ''dollars unofficial status as the world's currency'' from investopedia a few minutes ago. I agree dollar is the most used currency in international trade, but there are reasons why the us dollar is prefered, which are reasonable, but in the case where another country's currency can assume all the characteristics of the dollar there would definitely be a tip over, some of us might not be cognizant of the more technical terms used in economics but we are not dumb, we understand it when something is logical, so please i would really like you to give me your source. then i can reconsider my thoughts on the situation at hand. Tnks.
