Pls OP, I need assistance to get a graduate assistance position in any federal university or poly...Bsc in Chemistry, nd master in chemistry in view. My email is. Itse4we@gmail.com. Big Thnks

Rumpelstiltskin:
[b]There is a new but very sad development.....I have decided to discontinue this thread. Some of my reasons are:

1. The thread is becoming bigger than I can manage. It is getting really difficult to reply comments.

2. Although a few good people have also contributed and provided information about current recruitments/replacements, everyone is on my neck for ALL the information.

3. Somehow, I feel terrible that every1 is looking up to me for help yet I can only assist very little.

4. Somehow my identity got blown and I received a mail from a NLer (well known) advising me to quit the thread because not everyone will use the information I am providing for honest purposes. Some1 reported the thread yesterday and it was pulled down, it took the help of the MODs to restore the thread after I called their attention to it (the MODs can testify to this). Why did the person pull down the thread? He was angry cos I didnt state how to get the connections for the jobs and he felt since he doesnt have the connection, the thread was worthless. He called me names and when I reported his post, he pulled down the entire thread. Maybe some of you following this thread noticed this. Another person has sent a mail threatening to publish this thread on a blog in order to address the issue of "illegal/silent recruitments". For these reasons and more, I want to stick to the advise I received and draw the curtains here. I gave little info, they dey threaten me, if I come talk the one wey I see today, I go enter jail be that ooo

5. Just like LastMumu rightly stated, scammers will begin to take advantage of the vulnerable ones on this thread. I won't forgive myself if any1 of you fall a victim to scammers because of this thread. Therefore I beg you guys, any1 that calls or mail you to send money for a job slot is a CRIMINAL & FRAUDSTER. Ask them how they got your number and be very wise at all times. Any1 who really wants to help you will never ask for money or sex before giving you your appointment letter. Please be wise and do not be DESPERATE.

6. My greatest joy however is that I have been able to send a signal to those who care that they can get a FG job even this month if they put in a little more effort. It is very possible! FG jobs are gotten weekly in this country.

7. All those I have promised to send those numbers, I will fulfill that promise rightaway.

8. The next and last thread I will open as regards to FG jobs is the various salary structures thread I promised. I will neither answer questions nor comment on issues not related strictly to salaries alone.

9. An advise to all those whose connections are from Senators/HoR members, hold them really tight this period of budget defence, jobs dey comot well well. I know what I'm saying. Everyone wants their budget to be approved without hassle, so they'll honour just any request
Also sometimes, whether or not an agency is recruiting, e get d kind people wey go send your name wey the DG no go fit reject, they go create position, space and office for you by force. GOD's connection is the greatest sha oooo

10. As long as you are a graduate, you can work in any FG MDA, although being in an agency where your discipline is most relevant guarantees a faster career growth and even enhances your chance of getting to the top most position of that agency.

11. If you have been relying on a particular person/connection/strategy without any fruitful result, please change your approach/strategy.

12. I really wish I could help every1 but I have my limits too........maybe when I become a Senator, I'll do more

13. I sincerely apologize for having to discontinue my comments on this thread. I wish you all truly understand my stance. It is becoming increasingly difficult to share certain info on social media because of bad belle people. I mean well though but some people won't just understand. I know so many people will be disappointed with my action, I beg make una no vex

14. I wish you all the best continued success in this year 2016 and beyond. GOD bless you all

Rumpelstiltskin:
Again, it's MDA not MDG......MDG is an acronym for Millenium Development Goals. You can fit in NAFDAC, NABDA, any of the Federal Medical Centers, Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NPHCDA and a couple of other parastatals under Health or Science and Tech.

I'm not sure about this......but your discipline is not an hinderance. I have seen a graphic designer work in a parastatal under health and a geographer work in a parastatal under petroleum resourves and infact an education graduate work at NIGCOMSAT.

You can fit into most MDAs sir.

You fit into a range of parastatals under Finance or Trade and Investment including CBN, NDIC, SEC, NEXIM, BOI, NSITF etc but honestly I cannot fix you.

You na Chairman na.....Any of the parastatals under Petroleum Resources, or NEITI (directly under the Presidency). You can also fit into the industrial biotechnology department of NABDA or NASENI under Science and Tech.

My brother, six months is a long wait. That woman cannot or doesnt want to help you. The next time you go to FCC, Ask of Barrister Jude, He is the Secretary of the Commission. Jobs wey FCC dey share like water on weekly basis, na im you wait for 6 months? Even the Chairman, House Cmtee on Federal Character shares slots anyhow to other honorable members.

Approach your state commissioner at FCSC or any director you can at the FMoE Headquarters

There is no MDA in Nigeria that doesn't have an accounts/audit department. You can fit in anywhere.

NABDA, NAIC, FRIN, ARCN, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environment, NOSDRA, Natl Parks, NESREA, NBMA, NAGGW etc

Thanks for confirming the Petroleum Equalisation Fund recruitment. I actually know two people who got an appointment. They have completed their induction

NOSDRA, NESREA, NIMET, NIMASA, NABDA (Dept of Env. Biotechnology), NBMA, NAGGW etc

I havent heard anything on SON. I'll add it to the list of agencies I will source info about. But with the recent sack of the DG, I doubt anything much will be going on there.

What about SON any news OP

Lamar Odom's road to recovery is definitely going to be a long one.
Although Khloe Kardashian said last month that the 36-year-old former NBA star could be "mentally fully recovered" in a year and a half, a source close to Lamar tells ET that, currently, he's far from looking like his old self.
"He's not doing great," the source says. "His speech is still slurred and he can barely walk on his own yet. He forgets a lot of people's names -- sometimes even his own. He definitely has some memory loss."
'
But on the bright side, the Kardashian family is still fully supporting him.
"They all pop in to see him [at Ceders-Sinai Medical Center], including Khloe," the source says.
The Insider caught up with 31-year-old Khloe last month while she was promoting her book, Strong Looks Better Naked, when she admitted that her ex was still having trouble processing the events of the last two months. Odom was found unresponsive at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada on Oct. 13, and has since been undergoing intense therapy after coming out of a coma.
"I don't know if he can right now," Khloe candidly responded when asked if Lamar has been able to show her gratitude for sticking close to his side. "Like, I don't know if he fully understands everything, but I know he is grateful... and I'm not doing it for validation. I'm not doing it to get praise back."
"He's doing better every day, for sure, which is a blessing, but it's going to be a long road and he has to walk that road," Khloe also stressed to ET last month. "It's going to be a long time."
In a new video on her website and app on Sunday, Khloe talked about her struggles with anxiety after going through a rocky 2015. Last month, Khloe said she was suffering from a staph infection that was exacerbated by stress, and also had to cancer her book tour.
"Lord knows I've had stress and anxiety lately," she said. "This year has been absolutely horrible, but it's almost done. I'm just praying that 2016 will be better. It has to be."

The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday suffered another electoral setback in Taraba State as the Court of Appeal sitting in Yola upheld a tribunal’s ruling, sacking Bashir Marafa as senator representing Taraba Central Senatorial District.
On September 30, the National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal in Taraba State, nullified the election of Mr. Marafa and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue Certificate of Return to All Progressives Congress candidate, Yusuf Abubakar.
Delivering the September 30 judgement, one of the members of the tribunal, Suleiman Yusuf, said the petitioners in case, the APC, and its candidate, had proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.
The tribunal had held the election of Mr. Marafa could not stand as he did not score the lawful majority votes in the March 28 election.
The tribunal therefore ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to return Mr. Abubakar as the candidate that scored the majority lawful votes during the polls.
Following the ruling, Mr. Marafa appealed the tribunal’s decision.
But in their separate judgements on Tuesday, the three judges, Jummai Sankey, Duobele Abraham and Ridwan Maiwada of the Court of Appeal, unanimously agreed the appeal lacked merit and was therefore dismissed.
Speaking after the judgement, the Taraba state chairman of APC, Hassan Ardo, expressed satisfaction and lauded the judiciary for living up to expectation.
Mr. Ardo said urged APC supporters in the state to continue to remain calm as the party reclaims its mandates

fineguy11:
wny not ask GEJ,the contract was signed with remita while he was in office and this 1% charge was also agreed then......

Wonders shall never end

NL's can this APC led government be trusted, when we sleep?
If NO, we must open our EYES.
Simple question, still begging for answer. Who own REMITA?

THE Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will today meet with SystemSpecs, banks and other stakeholders on the tariff for the transactions fees to be charged under the Treasury Singles Account (TSA).
Vanguard investigations reveal that the meeting, which was at the instance of the OAGF and the CBN, will review the tariff for transactions under the TSA.
Presently, there is a one per cent transaction fee for every transaction through the TSA which is conducted on Remita electronic payment platform owned by SystemSpecs.
A source close to the TSA project confirmed this development to Vanguard. Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said, “The meeting will involve all the companies in the TSA value chain, and they will discuss and agree on what the new tariff should be.
The meeting should have been held long before now, but recent developments have made it imperative”.
Last week, following the decision of the Senate to probe allegation that Remita had been paid N25 billion, being the 1 per cent commission it charged for the transfer of N2.5 trillion of federal government funds to the TSA, and the directive of CBN to SystemSpecs to refund the transaction fees charged so far under the TSA, SystemSpecs had written to the President, seeking intervention of the Presidency in the resolution of the transaction fees issues. The letter in part reads, “While we await clarification from OAGF/CBN on the way forward, we have since suspended all TSA e-Collection fees on the platform. This means that none of the TSA collection parties/channels are earning any fees for providing services to Government.
“This position is however not sustainable as the collection partner banks are threatening to suspend FGN TSA collections. This would clearly be playing into the hands of those who do not wish this initiative to succeed. We understand the strategic importance of the TSA project to this Administration and the country at large.
“Your Excellency, we would appreciate your kind and urgent intervention to ensure a speedy resolution of this matter before the banks stop collections.
“In line with the subsisting contract and your assured commitment to the rule of law, we humbly request sir, that the fees earned by ourselves and the banks to date be returned to us and our partner banks. In view of the enlarged scope and the need to review the process, we humbly request sir, that you direct a meeting of relevant stakeholders be conveyed to agree a sustainable pricing model going forward. We solicit the continued political support of the TSA initiative by your Administration for this initiative that offers far more to our nation beyond the immediate take-off issues”.

One of the most prestigious prizes in architecture has just been awarded to a housing complex in Singapore.

A major bombshell rocked the 2016 campaign on Friday as Politico reported that Ben Carson , the current GOP front-runner, made up the story that he received a full scholarship to West Point.
The report, following other questions raised about claims in the memoir "Gifted Hands," is a devastating blow to Carson, who came out of relative obscurity to lead the Republican field on the strength of his appeal to evangelical Christian voters and his calm, soft-spoken demeanor.

The main question now is whether the revelation will quickly drive Carson out of the race. And if it does, where will his growing cadre of supporters go? One significant beneficiary of a Carson exit could be Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who is trying to appeal to the same base of conservative Christians.

Cruz has already positioned himself as a possible heir to Donald Trump supporters, should the real estate billionaire eventually leave the race. If he can add Carson supporters as well, Cruz could emerge as a powerful force to potentially win the Republican nomination. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida will also make a play for Carson supporters but he runs in a somewhat different lane, with more appeal to establishment and Wall Street Republicans than staunch tea party conservatives.

It is hard to imagine how Carson can recover from the revelation that he simply made up the story that he received a full scholarship to one of America's top military academies.

In his book, Carson wrote: "I was offered a full scholarship to West Point."

But pressed by Politico, the Carson campaign admitted on Friday that was not the case.

"He was introduced to folks from West Point by his ROTC Supervisors," a campaign official told Politico's Kyle Cheney. "They told him they could help him get an appointment based on his grades and performance in ROTC. He considered it but in the end did not seek admission."

Following the Politico story on Friday, Carson told The New York Times: "I don't remember all the specific details. Because I had done so extraordinarily well you know I was told that someone like me – they could get a scholarship to West Point. But I made it clear I was going to pursue a career in medicine."

"It was, you know, an informal 'with a record like yours we could easily get you a scholarship to West Point.'"

The West Point story comes after multiple media outlets could find no evidence to support Carson's claims of a wild, violent past that he overcame through his relationship with God. Carson claims in the book to have attacked his mother with a hammer and attempted to stab someone in an argument.

Carson has stuck by those claims but offered no proof that they actually occurred. Trump on Thursday attacked Carson for potentially lying about the stories. "The Carson story is either a total fabrication or, if true, even worse — trying to hit mother over the head with a hammer or stabbing friend!"

So far in the race, Carson has been able to play off negative stories as the product of a biased and unfair media. This could work with reports on his claim that the Egyptian pyramids were built by the biblical Joseph to hold grain rather than for the entombment of pharaohs. But saying you received a scholarship to West Point when you really did not has nothing to do with media bias. And who knows how many more things in Carson's book will turn out not to be true. His campaign is over, the question is whether Carson knows it yet, and where his many supporters will turn next

When scientists start to fight, I try to take a ringside seat.

I know they won't throw punches. Instead, they will brandish higher-grade weapons such as intellectual and moral superiority.

And so it is in the case of Chris Filardi. He's the director of Pacific Programs at the American Museum of Natural History.

Last month, he was in the Solomon Islands with other researchers. They first heard, then espied the rare male moustached kingfisher.

Then, as the Dodo reports, the beautiful orange and blue bird was "collected as a specimen for additional study." This turns out to have been a slight euphemism for "killed for additional study."

Filardi wasn't universally popular for this decision. He took to Audubon to write: "Why I Killed A Rare Kingfisher So That I Could Study It And Become More Famous." Wait, no. His article was headlined: "Why I Collected a Moustached Kingfisher." (The comments section to this article is well worth a read.)

While you muse on whether art collectors are actually art killers, I'll tell you that Filardi insisted that, "This was not a 'trophy hunt.'"

Filardi perhaps doesn't want to end up like Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, accused of illegally hunting down Cecil the lion.

He insisted that the moustached kingfisher is not an endangered species.

"Though sightings and information about the bird are rare in the ornithological community, the bird itself is not. Elders of the local land-owning tribe (now living at lower elevations) relate stories of eating Mbarikuku, the local name for the bird; our local partners knew it as unremarkably common," he wrote.

He concluded that his actions were "standard practice for field biologists."

"Ethical collection of any individual organism is determined by basic criteria including collection below levels that will impact populations, adherence to permitting guidelines, and consideration of the importance of voucher specimens. With this first modern voucher of the kingfisher, the only adult male, we now have a comprehensive set of material for molecular, morphological, toxicological, and plumage studies that are unavailable from blood samples, individual feathers, or photographs," he said.

What it is to end your life as a voucher.

Marc Bekoff, professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado, begs to differ with Filardi's reasoning.

"This is still the name of the game for some researchers: Find a beautiful, unique, or rare animal and then kill it in the name of something or another to justify the unnecessary slaying," he writes in the Huffington Post.

Clearly, those of clean, logical comportment will wonder whether killing the kingfisher or letting it go were truly the only options. Was there really no other way of getting information from it? Or might it now, post-death, become an important, well, exhibit, there to attract attention?

It is truly nothing for our current president to stunt. When President Barack Obama was asked on '60 Minutes' if he thought he could win a third term if he were allowed to run again, he had a simple reply: "Yes."

It's a shame that it can't be a reality. After all, Kanye West just sent Obama a fresh shipment of Yeezy sneakers, and it'd be nice to see those kicked up on the desk at the oval for four more years.
Unfortunately, we'll have to elect someone new in 2016. And it's looking more and more likely that Donald Trump will be in the running. In the '60 Minutes' interview, Obama called the GOP front-runner "the classic reality TV character" and a "great publicity seeker."

"He is tapped into something that exists in the Republican Party that's real," Obama said. "I think there is genuine anti-immigrant sentiment in the large portion of at least Republican primary voters. I don't think it's uniform." He went on to put a button on the issue: "I don't think he'll end up being president of the United States."

On the idea of his vice president running, Obama wasn't saying much. "If you're sitting right next to the president in every meeting and, you know, wrestling with these issues, I'm sure that for him, he's saying to himself, 'I could do a really good job.'"

Can Obama just run as vice? Kanye's cabinet? We'll figure it out.

Just hours after he delivered his thoughts on annoying in-app purchases on kids games, Kanye West gave San Francisco a very special performance that was originally believed to mark the debut of new material. To better serve the urgency of that fact, President Barack Obama was in attendance alongside 1,300 Democratic National Committee supporters:
According to his most recent thoughts on the subject, Kanye is still very serious about initiating a campaign for presidency of his own in 2020. Obama, of course, made note of this during his speech: "You may have heard about this, Kanye is thinking about running for Speaker of the House," Obama joked to attendees shortly before the proceedings began.
"Couldn't get any stranger, but in case Kanye's serious about this whole POTUS thing or, as he calls it, Peezy, I do have advice for him," Obama offered. "First of all, you've got to spend a lot of time with some strange characters who behave like they're on a reality TV show. You've got to be cool with that. Second, saying that you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy? That's what's known as off-message in politics. You can't say something like that. And number three, do you really think that this country is going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago [with a] funny name?"
Though Kanye's performance (catch a Periscope archive of the set here) was noticeably absent of those rumored SWISH tracks, he still give more-than-worthy performances of several 808s & Heartbreak tracks, the Obama-referencing "Power," and many more

When Chris Filardi, director of Pacific Programs at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, was finally holding the elusive Guadalcanal moustached kingfisher, he told Slate writer Rachel Gross, it was like finding a unicorn.

Filardi had been searching for the orange, white, and brilliant-blue bird for more than 20 years, when on a field study in the high forests of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, he finally heard the “ko-ko-ko-ko-kiew” sound of what he described as the unmistakable call of a large kingfisher.

After days of tracking, he and his colleagues captured a male moustached kingfisher in a mist net.

“When I came upon the netted bird in the cool shadowy light of the forest I gasped aloud, ‘Oh my god, the kingfisher,’ one of the most poorly known birds in the world was there, in front of me, like a creature of myth come to life.” Filardi wrote in a Sept. 23 blog post.  

The team snapped the first-ever photos of the remarkably photogenic bird and made the first-ever recordings of a male variety of the species (a female was described back in the 1920s).

Then the team killed it.

In Filardi’s original field-journal post, no indication was made regarding the bird’s demise, but Paul Sweet, collection manager for the department of ornithology at the American Museum of Natural History and one of the researchers on the team, confirmed that the animal was killed.

The decision to euthanize the bird so it can be studied as a “scientific specimen” has divided both the scientific community and the public on when and if researchers should kill wildlife in the name of conservation.

The incident led University of Colorado ecology professor Marc Bekoff to write in an op-ed for the Huffington Post: “Killing ‘in the name of conservation’ or ‘in the name of education’ or ‘in the name of whatever’ simply needs to stop. It is wrong and sets a horrific precedent for future research and for children.”

Part of the controversy surrounding the bird’s demise is the lack of information on moustached kingfishers in general. Ornithology records only indicate that the bird is “rare,” with anywhere between 250 and 1,000 surviving in the wild. Previous research had lumped the Guadalcanal variety in with the endangered Bougainville moustached kingfisher of Papua New Guinea, but Filardi’s research has him believing they are distinct species. And that’s part of his argument.

In a follow-up post, Filardi said the bird is elusive, poorly researched, and unknown to Western science, though not to the region’s local people. Landowners on the island told the research team the bird, known as Mbarikuku, was unremarkably common and a source of food to some. At the density levels the team observed, and with 15 percent of the island containing suitable habitat, Filardi estimates the moustached kingfisher population at around 4,000 and not in imminent danger of extinction.

With the collected sample, researchers now have a more comprehensive set of molecular, morphological, and toxicological data and plumage data that can’t be garnered from blood samples, individual feathers, or photographs, Filardi said.

“There is also a deeper reasoning here,” he wrote. “The value of good biodiversity collections lies partly in the unforeseeable benefits of those collections to future generations: Detection and understanding of the impacts of marine pollutants, eggshell thinning from DDT, and anthropogenic body size shifts in widespread species are examples of the power of natural history collections.”

Since the birds are isolated to Guadalcanal, they face many of the same challenges of other “single-island endemic” animals, such as invasive species, habitat degradation from logging and mining, and shifting temperatures owing to climate change.

“The specters of extinction for island birds loom in today’s world,” Filardi wrote. “The collection of a single moustached kingfisher is not among them. And, beyond advancing science, I believe this act will positively impact the kingfisher’s world.”

The terror group ISIS made gains near Syria's largest city in the last 24 hours, indirectly aided by Russian airstrikes that drove other groups out.

Could a new invention solve water shortages?
Billions in Change Sponsored
 
ISIS militants seized five villages on the northern edge of Aleppo, putting them within 1 mile of territory held by the Syrian regime, Reuters reports. 

Russian airstrikes in the area reportedly killed hundreds of anti-regime rebels, many of whom ISIS (also known as the Islamic State, ISIL, and Daesh) was also fighting.

"Daesh has exploited the Russian air strikes and the preoccupation of the (rebel) Free Syrian Army in its battles in Hama, and advanced in Aleppo," one rebel commander told Reuters.

Hassan Hassan, an expert on Syria who recently coauthored the book "ISIS: Insider the Army of Terror," told Business Insider that ISIS' gains near Aleppo are a "big win."

"I’m sure ISIS has sleeper cells in Aleppo," Hassan said. "If they pushed, if they held their ground then that would be … a big win for them. 

"They could actually establish a foothold inside Aleppo, and it also helps them to make more progress in Hama," another key city in western Syria.
So far, Russia's campaign against rebels in Syria has hit anti-regime fighters about 90% of the time while leaving ISIS strongholds untouched. And up until now, rebel groups have been successful keeping ISIS out of Aleppo.

There are many factions fighting for control of Syria — ISIS sometimes fights forces loyal Assad and seeks to gain as much territory as it can in Syria, but the group mostly fights nationalist rebels as well as other jihadist groups like the Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's affiliate in the countr.
Russia went into Syria claiming that its primary target was ISIS, but it seems that its real goal is to prop up Assad, who is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And as Russian airstrikes weaken the nationalist opposition and ISIS' jihadist rivals, ISIS is taking advantage of opportunities to move into territory it wasn't previously able to secure.

Gains in Aleppo "would basically give them the ability to attack the rebels from different sides and take areas under the control of the rebels," Hassan said. 

"They will try this because they see the rebels at their weakest points and they want to fortify the front from different sides," he said.
Furthermore, Russia has something to gain from leaving ISIS largely untouched.

"The Russians are following the same script as the Syrian regime, which is basically to avoid ISIS as much as they can because ISIS is useful," Hassan said.

"ISIS can attack the rebels. It’s not in the heartlands, it's in areas that are farther away. ... If ISIS attacks the rebels in Aleppo, that’s good news for the Russians and the regime."

Consequently, Russia would hit ISIS harder only if the group creeps into regime strongholds.

"The regime and Russians will focus on the heartlands — Hama, Damascus, but not Palmyra," which is an ISIS stronghold, Hassan said.

ISIS also reportedly killed a top Iranian commander in northern Aleppo this week, despite Russian airstrikes. Iran is allied with Russia and Syria while commanding proxies in the country

Thank U God for the journey so far!!!

Just when it felt like any hopes for a Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao rematch were dead, Pacquiao himself threw the boxing world for a loop by saying he is in negotiations with Mayweather for a rematch, according to an AFP report.
Pacquiao announced that he wants to fight one more time before hanging up his gloves for good and pursuing a full-time career early next year as a politician in his native Philippines, a timetable that seemed to make a rematch unlikely.

However, Pacquiao told AFP that not only is the rematch possible, but confirmed talks are ongoing with Mayweather and one other fighter.

Pacquiao confirmed he is in negotiations with American Mayweather and Briton [Amir] Khan but said he had no preference over who to fight ... "I will fight anybody, anywhere," he said. "I am going to fight probably before the election ... The election is coming next year, May, and before that I will probably have one fight."

With any potential fight needing to happen before the elections in May and Mayweather in retirement and seemingly in no hurry to return to the ring, it seemed unlikely that a rematch could happen. However, if there was one thing that made the rematch still seem possible it was the money and how much each fighter would be leaving on the table if they couldn't reach a deal on a rematch.

Their highly-anticipated bout earlier this year shattered all the records for a boxing match, generating nearly $600 million in revenue and making the fighters the two highest-paid athletes in the world. Even if a rematch generated only half of that interest, that is still a lot of money for both fighters, money they won't make anywhere else.

Adding to the intrigue and potential riches is the idea that neither fighter is contractually tied to a venue in Las Vegas. According to the AFP report, Pacquiao told Al Jazeera his last fight could happen in one of the wealthy Persian Gulf states.

Earlier this week, Pacquiao talked about his political ambitions, a career that would likely make returning to the ring impossible past May of next year.

"I think I'm ready (to retire). I've been in boxing for more than 20 years," Pacquiao said in an interview with the ABS-CBN television network. "I will have to give up the other things that require my attention. If you are a senator, your focus should only be your job and your family."

According to the AFP report, polls have Pacquiao winning one of the 12 senate seats up for grabs, and he has vowed to be a "serious" senator despite recent reports that he missed 66 of 70 legislative sessions this year while serving as a local congressman

According to the AFP report, polls have Pacquiao winning one of the 12 senate seats up for grabs, and he has vowed to be a "serious" senator despite recent reports that he missed 66 of 70 legislative sessions this year while serving as a local congressman
