The OP @obasy09, or maybe @gurusvil now, promised not to abandon this thread until the tutorial is brought to some decent closure.
We believe him. When are you coming to complete your good work?

sonature1:


Yes, boss.

However, you need to keep working on yourself to stand out. I mean, keep learning English every day if you write.

Do that from native speakers online.

The truth is, what we speak in Nigeria is miles away from correct English.

You may sign up on Wordreference.com to learn from them.

Lest I forget, you should learn how to write a convincing proposal to win jobs.

If you don't have any jobs, you should write or read something.

Freelancing is real work, but it's really rewarding.

I've got work to do.

Bye

Hi bro,
I believe I can learn a number of things from you.
Modestly speaking, I believe I write well.
I'll like to make it count on a freelancing platform (in fact, I need urgently to make it count) but I need a guide/mentor.
Do you mind if I have a chat with you privately?
Thanks.

The University of Lagos is arguably the nation's most popular university. It prides itself as the "nation's pride".
It's 50th convocation cérémonies are due in about a week when it hopes to welcome guests and visitors from all over the country.

Shamefully though, one of the only two roads that lead to this supposedly prestigious citadel is a horror to behold and drive through. The access road from the Bariga axis to the university is in complete shambles and one can't understand how the several levels of government that should be concerned really don't seem concerned: Yaba and Bariga LGAs, the Lagos State government and the Federal government.

While conceding not being privy to information, one would also feel that the authorities at the university should be able to leverage their goodwill to get any of these levels of government to fix this eyesore that leads to their school or they could at least mobilize their works department to do some palliative repair on the road.

Lest I forget, this same road serves as access to yet another Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka and the prestigious St. Finbarrs College. In fact, it's called st. Finbarrs road!

Is Unilag going to invite and welcome visitors and guests to it's 50th convocation with this road in this shameful shape?

PS 1: I've written this as a matter of public concern.

PS 2: I'll include pictures of the road as soon as I'm able to.


@lalasticlala, pls this needs to be pushed to get the attention of people concerned as soon as possible. Thank you.

Indispensable85:


God bless you,my brother. The level of dumbness here is alarming!

Y'all now know the kinds of people you do back and forth with here, arguing with them over things that are way above their mind grades.

It's the reason a lot of quality people have walked away from this board.

Being ill-educated in itself might not be so demeaning, but being arrogant while still poorly educated is, to say the least, irritating and such persons are a menace to the society...
Today I confirm this board houses and gives a platform to a lot of such folks. Making categorical statements in utter ignorance. What!

modath:



Just like Osun, this is the key that will unlock the door.

Not necessarily. It depends on the constituencies where the rerun will be holding, no?

doctokwus:

You mock God,assuming you are a Christian,by asking this question.
Has Buhari been sworn in yet?
Has Buhari even completed this tenure yet?
God's ways are not that of men.
Buhari may have won the rigged votes,but what lies ahead are not what anyman born of woman or spirit can predict.
So leave everything in the hands of God.
That's my only piece of advice for people like u who are gloating over a fraudulent election one by an incompetent,first class bigot.

We're you all also playing some god when you were littering the whole place with your "back to Daura" irritating rants?
Rigged, fraudulent, bla bla bla...
You can hate and throw tantrums all you like, PMB won fairly and we thank God for it.

A government made this a reality. And only in three years, not 16, not 12, not 8, not even 4 years!

Similar positive appraisal has been written of the Port Harcourt international.

Now Enugu and Kano should follow suit.

Kudos.

Interesting

This could easily be a gimmick to force a reversion to manual accreditation which would allow ballot stuffing or inflation of figures for the party whose stronghold the state is.

It beggars belief the way some folks nitpick now on every slip, jumping up and down, shouting illnesses they don't wish for their fathers.
We all make these slips everyday. One young radio personality yesterday said Ambode presented a N853 trillion when he actually meant to say billion. In the course of the same 45-minute program, I think he made another slip like that. Do we then say the young man is ill? Is it all just Machiavellian politics?

Or is this just sadism and hatred?

The Court of Appeal cannot make an order restraining the CCT from performing what belongs to it exclusively. - Femi Falana. #PoliticsToday

Justice Onnoghen...

In the judgement of justice Onnoghen in 2012, the CCT has exclusive jurisdiction to try code of conduct violations, and the CCT also has powers to mete out punishments to violators.


Any allegation that a public officer has committed a breach of or has not complied with the provisions of this code shall be made to the code of conduct Bureau”. The foregoing provisions are clearly unambiguous and so construed literarily mean that any breaches of any provisions of the said 5th schedule or matters of noncompliance with any provisions of the Code shall, (meaning that it is mandatory i.e. must) be made to the code of Conduct Bureau that has established its Tribunal with the exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any violations of any provisions under the Code, if I may emphasise any violations shall be made to Code of Conduct Bureau. The provisions have made it mandatory to take any matters so covered by the 5th schedule (supra) to the code of conduct Bureau and not to any ordinary regular courts as has been done in this instance. If I may repeat the code of Conduct Tribunal has been established with the exclusive jurisdiction to deal with ail violations contravening any of the provisions of the Code as per paragraph 15(1). This provision has expressly ousted the powers of ordinary regular courts in respect of such violations. The Tribunal to the exclusion of other courts is also empowered to impose any punishments as specified under sub-paragraphs (2) (a), (b) & (c) of paragraph 18 as provided in sub-paragraphs 3 and 4 of paragraph 18 while appeals shall lie as of right from such decisions to the Court of Appeal.

...closing remarks

"Yet, Atiku will not simply roll over. He’s a fighter, and the coalition of angry generals in his corner – from former President Olusegun Obasanjo to former military President Ibrahim Babangida, and General Aliyu Gusau – have a dog in the fight. Expect to hear more from these generals – and even a few highly placed anti-Buhari traditional rulers shortly before the election. The home stretch promises to be nasty.

But that won’t change much. The die is cast, and the race is won and lost."

cont'd...

Indigenes who are indifferent or those who belong to a different faith still believe they have to be in the good books of the well-connected Hausa-Fulani to climb up the social ladder.

With the south west, the second largest voting bloc, still firmly in APC’s control; one flank of the south south riven by the epic fight between Governor Udom Emmanuel and his estranged godfather, Godswill Akpabio; and the other flank stranded over Governor Nyesom Wike’s reluctance to lead the Atiku campaign, the picture for PDP in the south south is grim.

Add that to the situation in three south east states – Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi – whose governors are working almost flat out for Buhari’s second term, and you will be hard pressed to find the advantage that Peter Obi is supposed to bring to the Atiku ticket.

Will the record of the last four years not count? It will count for next to nothing. The mixed bag of the fight against corruption, the yo-yoing war on Boko Haram, the fragile economy and unflattering unemployment figures ought to put Buhari in a tight spot; but the indescribable fear of who the real Atiku in power could be – that unknowable quantity – makes it a bit easier to forgive Buhari’s shortcomings.

Get this straight: Atiku Abubakar will lose the presidential election on February 16. I’m not Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka or one of the tongue-in-cheek seers whose predictions you’ll be struggling to figure out after dropping your offering in the bag at midnight of December 31. I’ll say it the way it is, walking where angels fear to tread.

You’re free to believe who you want or what you choose, but here’s why Atiku will lose. The two main candidates will split the north, the country’s largest vote bank, with 38.9million or over 50 percent of the 72.8million registered voters as at January. But President Muhammadu Buhari’s fanatical hold over the north west, which has over 18.5million registered voters – the highest in the country – will still give him an edge over Atiku.
The deciding vote is not in the hands of the northern elite, who loathe Buhari and have loathed him for over 30 years. It’s in the hands of the mass of the rural and urban poor who will die for Buhari before they know why. His fabled 12 million votes may have become distant memory, but his name remains a talisman unmatched by Atiku.

Wouldn’t the farmer-herdsman crisis in the middle belt in the last three or four years and Buhari’s sluggish response favour Atiku in that area, and possibly redeem some of the votes he would lose in the core north?

I doubt it. There’s a significant and growing Hausa-Muslim population in the north central today who identify more with Buhari than they do with Atiku. If there was still any doubt about their loyalty, Miyetti Allah, an important segment of this group, settled it by endorsing Buhari recently.

At last?

@akinsmail51

The second image you posted in the OP has a wrong vowelization... [size=8pt]انزلتُ[/size] rather than انزاتَ.

What the vowel as it is written there would me is..."whatever good I send down for myself... (we seek refuge with Allah from arrogance and ignorance)

Some genuine crtiics but also many naysayers have been saying the same things - unrealistic, unrealistic.

What's the problem with being ambitious and optimistic?

In the end a budget is a budget - projections within reasonable limits.

For an economy that needs the fiscal expansion like yesterday, I'll rather budget for 15 roads and maybe build 10 if the revenue falls short, than plan for 10 roads and be caught keeping excess fund or worse, spend without planning, if revenue expands within the fiscal year.

As I type, Brent is about 54 dollars (53.80) and production is about 1.9mbpd. With possible OPEC cuts in Q1 and the likely coming on stream of the FPSO Egina, the projections of 60 dollars and 2.3mbpd are, yes optimistic, but are also within reasonable limits for rightly ambitious economic targets.

What's more..

All the 6 South-south states = ~8.3m

The remaining states in the NW =~8.7m

So assuming 100% turnout in the 3 regions, and no rigging, the NW alone delivers about a million more votes than the SE and SS combined.

There's work to do.

There's work to do, even if this figures are correct.

Abia+Anambra+Ebonyi+Enugu+Imo = ~6.5m

Kaduna + Kano = ~7.2m

Never mind Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara

@lalasticlala
Moderator should shut down this thread!
Too much hate speech ongoing...

I don't know how or why the admins of this board don't get worried about what their platform is being used for.

I don't know the commerce of these things but if it's about keeping the traffic, is it more important than the danger that the type of hate speeches that's allowed to go on here can pose to everyone and the society?


I'll never want to own /administer a medium that's used to spread hate from both sides in probably the same way it might have been allowed to fester in Rwanda, early to the mid 90s.

Optionalx:

You're just dumb. So a Muslim who did not wear hijab is (not/less) Muslim.
What is the percentage of Muslims who wear hijab to those who did not?
Religion continues to deprive some people common sense reasoning.

Insults and abuses are not intelligence.

Rather than answer a question even as a 'medulus interloper', you result to adult tantrums. It's only lack of capacity that makes one behave that way.

Have a good day.

freecocoa:
I hope other kids will also be allowed to represent their religions with the appropriate attiresonly then would this make sense.

Please tell us the religious attire that the "other kids" wear every time and everywhere they go.

Pls tell us what the other kids are required to wear by their religious tenet at all times.

As if we don't know what some people wear into even their place of 'worship'.

UgwuAghachi:



Oya come let me school you father. All these Anambra people that are Bini and Igala descendants should not be talking when an Amadi is talking


Do you know the difference between MSC and MBA at all. OSU Anambra?

An MBA and an MSC are both 'Master' level qualifications. The key difference is that an MSc is for fresh graduates or those trying to improve their chances on the labour market while the MBA is for busy business executives who already have their leg dipped in the business world and hence the the MBA is acquired in a shorter time.

LOL!

This is manifest error or confidence in ignorance!
M.Sc is for fresh graduate whole MBA is for busy people.

MBA are shorter than M.Sc because it's for busy people.

Now listen and learn!
MBA is a professional qualification whether you're fresh or stale. M.Sc is an academic degree that leads to a PhD and further research preoccupation.

To what end is this?

You don't have to enter the mosque with the aim of pleasing muslims, albeit some muslims - it's futile.

Just be fair to them and everyone, in appointments, rights and allocation of state resources.

This man obviously has integrity issues himself.

A man that can not organize and manage his NIM to become relevant, making excuses for his failure, and he's quick to accuse a man that manages an entire country of not doing anything.

He's a closet PDP apologist.

globemoney:
I dont see Wike wanting any other thing apart from completing his second tenure. Infact I believe Wike will pick his second tenure over being President right now, Wike is very attached to PH, he will only start aspiring for higher office after his second tenure.

As for deep pockets, Atiku does not need Wike, Atiku can fund his election 100%. Atiku only needs international support to win Buhari and the best person to get his that is either Soludo, Akinwunmi Adesina or Okonjo Iweala I would be surprised if Atiku does not pick between these 3

Atiku might not be picking a running mate all by himself.

I have the feeling the party would be giving Atiku options of names to choose from.

The new brigade leaders of the party led by Wike and the top primaries runners-up would have the privilege of nominating candidates for the VP slot, in order to placate them and forge a united front.
These group would not be nominating Soludo, Iweala et al. They would be nominating their lackeys and trusted people.

Views are welcome, without insults.

Yes, Wike is a first term governor. I'm sure he'd want a lackey in the vice presidency that can hold forte for him and that would position him for a shot at the top ticket in 2023.

OPINION:
Any keen political observer and one who understands how Nigerian politicians think would easily see that gov. Wike had the most bargaining chips to emerge as the running mate to Mr. Atiku.

The old guards in the PDP had their way in the emergence of Atiku, the new leaders of the party would most likely insist on picking the VP slot. Wike leads this group and he'd project someone he trusts or can control for that slot.

The party wants some cohesion in the party and would be more than willing to concede to Wike. Remember, he also has the deepest purse to help the party. He's also known to have threatened the party before.

This would not be Atiku's choice but rather the party's.
Former gov Daniel though, laboured hard with Atiku and should be recognised, but it would be argued that so did the likes of Markafi, Fayose and Wike for the party when it was down. And you can forget all those assemblage of names from the south east.

The odds favour gov. Wike.

How does a Muslim girl wearing the hijab affect the other person?
What is a school rule that contradicts the Constitution?

Muslims tolerate having to go to school and office on Fridays even though it directly affects their worship, whole Christians got Sunday all free. One can only imagine if it was the other way round, but they still turn around a make noise about Muslims not agreeing to be second rate citizens to them.

Many of these folks here are hypocritical hating bigots.

Christian nuns don't ever get told such nonsense on public spaces like this. It's only Muslim girls that are harassed by these Christian terrovangelists like this new principal woman and her ilk on this board.

NB: I acknowledge some Christians are free minded and not blinded by hate and islamaphobia - I salute them.
