paragon40: There are indications that the Academic Staff
Union of Universities (ASUU) in Nigeria may
end its four-month old strike on Saturday,
November 16.
About 120 chapters of the union have voted in
support of the decision to end the strike at
their various congresses held in their
institutions.
However, the National Executive of the body
has not ratified the decision to end the strike.
A Pro-Chancellor of the University of Benin,
Senator Effiong Bob, urged ASUU to end the
strike in honour of Late Fetus Iyayi, a former
president of the union.
Senator Bob, who was at the residence of the
late professor pointed out that Late Iyayi died
while trying to resolve the issue.
“ASUU Should call of the strike so that both
the union members and students can come and
give him the last respect he deserves during
his funeral,” he said.
Late Iyayi died on Tuesday, November 12, in
an auto crash on his way to Kano for a meeting
of the union.
In a meeting with the leadership of the union,
President Goodluck Jonathan had agreed to
provide 1.1 trillion Naira (about 6.9 billion
dollars) in the next five years and the balance
of 62 billion Naira (about 390 million dollars)
and allowance to each university.
The union had embarked on a nationwide strike
on July 1 suspending all academic activities.

bless your soul. you are giving me hope!

jaidor: What's the point of opening this thread? why can't you just patiently wait till tomorrow. Mayb Mr. Seun should start charging money for opening a thread on Nairaland.

I paid tho

to those carrying rumors about the NEC meeting holding, tomorrow is the Saturday you have been talking about and If this meeting is not held tomorrow....




*continues Oiling old Rifle*


anyways, thanks for giving us hope seriously, i am so tired of home

the grammatical bros is here again
''Patrick Obahiagbon Mourns Former ASUU
President"
“The grand initiation of Professor Festus Iyayi is a
lancinating loss of another stentorian voice, against
retrograde and prebendal forces of primitive
mercantilism. That he passed through transition on
matters pro bono publico, bears eloquent testimony
to our state of dystopia. Such is the evanescence
of life.Its all vanitas vanitatum”"
May His Soul R.I.P

i walk with only 400.. still trying to beat this man's record. he is good you know. will upload pics soon

wow, nice write up!

shey scientists would still say this young man has not used up to 3 °/. of his brain capacity.

e long sha.... feeling sleepy*ma go piss for banana island first*

adonismuller: how does it feel,after writing all these jargons and you don't have even one like?

sorry, I have 1 and more re still coming.

"ASUU has called off the strike". click like if this is what you want to hear.








ASUU's attitude towards this strike is clearly an act of weary cynicism. i am tired!

thanks alot. how much do you think will be needed in starting the filling station business? where can i buy the fuel from?

Hi my fellow nairalanders, i just wish you could help me on this
I would like to start a business and i need about 20million naira to start with. i would like to get a loan from a bank but right now, i am pennyless. i dont know what i can use as collateral because i have no land yet nor a house of my own yet. i would really need this loan to start a business and now the question comes; Do you think any bank would be willing to give me this loan? if no, how should i go about getting this cash. would like to open a filling station.

Twitter isn't yet making a profit, but
analysts think its future is bright -- and
that it's worth more than the current
$11 billion valuation.

Scientists say they've found a galaxy that's not just far, far, away -- it's the most distant from our own that's been discovered yet. And it's helping them gain insight about the universe as it existed a long time ago.
Astronomers say the galaxy, called z8_GND_5296, is the most remote one they can confirm with spectroscopy, a technique that looks for the chemical signatures of elements.
In this case, that element was hydrogen, the main fuel of stars. Researchers reported their findings in the journal Nature.
z8_GND_5296 -- no, that's not a typo, or a spam username -- is a window into the past. Because of its distance, it shows what things would have been like 700 million years after the Big Bang.
The universe is 13.8 billion years old, so 700 million years after the start is actually quite early by comparison.
Star formation
Besides breaking the distance record, astronomers find the new galaxy exciting because it appears to produce stars at an unusually high rate, said lead study author Steven Finkelstein, assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin.
Star-formation rate is measured by how much raw hydrogen the galaxy converts into new stars every year. The z8_GND_5296 galaxy converts hydrogen in the amount of 300 times the mass of our sun into new stars each year.
By contrast, the Milky Way only produces stars at one or two solar masses per year.
Scientists established through previous research that in the first billion years of the universe's history, typical rate of star formation went up, Finkelstein said. Galaxies formed more and more stars over time until about 10 billion years ago, when star formation rates began to decrease.

The newly-confirmed galaxy is still unusual in its high star-formation rate, given how far away it is. But one of the previous record holders for "most distant galaxy" was making stars at 100 solar masses per year, which is in the same ballpark, meaning z8_GND_5296 is not a total fluke in its prolific star-making.
"Now it's much less likely that we just stumbled upon a very rare phenomenon, and much more likely that the early universe harbors these sites of intense star formation, many more than we had previously thought possible," Finkelstein said.
Shifting to red
All of the visible and ultraviolet light from the z8_GND_5296 galaxy has been shifted into the infrared spectrum by the time it reaches Earth. That's because the universe itself is expanding, and the stretching of space-time makes light waves stretch as well.
This phenomenon, called "red shift," is similar to the Doppler effect of sound -- for instance, the pitch of a police-car siren sounds higher when it's getting closer to you and lower as it moves away because the car is moving. The movement causes changes in the wavelength and frequency of sound waves that the observer receives.
Astronomers can calculate the distance of a star, galaxy or other celestial object by examining how much light from it has been shifted into the infrared. This requires sophisticated techniques to make the calculations.
In the Nature study, researchers used the MOSFIRE infrared camera at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to study 43 galaxy candidates that had been found in a Hubble Space Telescope exploration of the sky: the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS).
Astronomers were looking for a special radiation signature from hydrogen called the Lyman-alpha emission line. This radiation represents the particular wavelength of light that gets emitted when hydrogen atoms get excited in a particular way. Researchers were able to detect this emission line coming from z8_GND_5296, but not from any of the other 42 candidates.
What about those other candidates? Finkelstein theorizes that there is just a lot of gas that absorbs the hydrogen emissions, which is why we can't detect them on Earth.
That may mean that "galaxies at early epochs accrete gas at high rates, and that the resulting large amounts of gas extinguish most of the Lyman-alpha radiation in these young galaxies," Dominik Riechers, astronomer at Cornell University, wrote in an accompanying Nature "News and Views" article.
"We need much deeper observation to try to see this Lyman-alpha emission," Finkelstein said.
More most-distant galaxies to come?
Finkelstein and colleagues found this most distant galaxy on the first of two nights of observation, during a period of about six hours. They have applied for more nights at Keck for follow-up, so z8_GND_5296 may soon have competition for the distance record.
Let's hope these far, far away galaxies don't have Star-Wars-ish civil wars.

Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States will not let up its pressure on Iran over its disputed nuclear program despite recent diplomatic overtures between the two countries.
"We will pursue a diplomatic initiative with eyes wide open," Kerry said in Rome during a meeting Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "aware it will be vital for Iran to live up to those standards other nations that have nuclear programs live up to as they prove those programs are indeed peaceful."
Despite a softening of rhetoric on some fronts by the regime in Tehran, there have been fears by other countries in the region that the United States might be too quick to offer incentives to Iran in the latest round of negotiations between Iran and the group known as the P5+1, which includes the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany.
Netanyahu, who has said Iran's nuclear program poses an existential threat to Israel, was cautious in his assessment of the current state of play.


"Iran must not have nuclear weapon capability," he told Kerry. "I think no deal is better than a bad deal."
For Netanyahu, any deal with Iran must include a prohibition on centrifuges that can be used to enrich uranium to a weapons grade level, as well as the dismantling of a plutonium heavy water plant in Arak that has yet to come on line.
"They should get rid of the amassed fissile material, and they shouldn't have underground nuclear facilities," Netanyahu said in reference to the Fordow facility near the city of Qom, which was discovered in 2009.
Netanyahu is not alone in his plea for the Obama administration to take a slow and cautious approach in the latest round of negotiations.
Members from both parties in Congress have urged the administration not to loosen any of the sanctions that are choking Iran's economy prematurely. Legislation is being drafted that could tighten the sanctions regime until a deal is reached.
"No deal is better than a bad deal," Kerry said echoing Netanyahu as the two began approximately seven hours of talks about Iran, Syria, and the peace process with the Palestinians. "But if this can be solved satisfactorily, diplomatically, it is clearly better for everyone."
The next round of talks with Iran and the P5+1 is scheduled to take place next month in Geneva.

u don suck the goody bag fall...

vulgar......

i have a question that have ben troubling my mind for a very long time now....


Igbo wey dem nor wrap well, how dem wan take burn am

ajaljnr: I recently got a business that is actually RISK free cos I'm dealing with a family member. I'll be to investing 800k in this business to get a 35k monthly income steady AND whenever I decide to stop the business, I'll be getting my whole capital BACK (800k). The money has been in a bank for over a year and the interest I'm getting on it is not even up to 10k at the bank. Please, Kindly advice me if this is a good deal. Your comment shall be really appreciated as I'm a young graduate who just wanna start SOMETHING. I would have done another business though but being the fact that I'm not so experienced when it comes to business and I don't wanna go into a business that would be so RISKY. Once again, THIS IS A 100% RISK free business and I'll be getting my capital back ANYTIME I decide I'm not doing to business anymore.

Thanks in advance

PS FOR GOD SAKE, DON'T TALK ABOUT THE RISK PART PLEEEEEEEEEASE, THE QUESTION IS Does It Make Sense To Invest 800k To Get 35k Monthly?

go into building material sales,it is lucrative
