PoliticsRe: We Were Saying Rubbish During Campaign And That Made Things Difficult -buhari by cola: 8:33am On May 31, 2016
Comprehension problem or mindless mischief!

The president was referring to the civil servants with entrenched interests in the MDAs. He said as far as these directors were concerned, they (APC) were only saying rubbish on the campaign trail because they (the directors) were determined to continued their old ways of doing things since it's the only way many of them knew.

@jethro2
God bless you for you selflessness

Pls enlighten me:

Does all these process about tomato also apply to pepper (ata rodo)?

1. soil type?
2. planting times?
3. nursery techniques?
4. water needs?
5. manure/fertilizers?
6. pests and diseases?

Are tomatoes and pepper the same in all these areas?

Thanks, sister.

Prepare for hard times; things will be tough till the end of 2015, Okonjo-Iweala advises Nigerians

By News Express on 06/05/2015


The Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has advised Nigerians not to expect any dramatic improvement in the next few months, as the country’s economic challenges are far from being over.

“As you know, I have been honest with you since the current economic problems started. I would like to repeat: we have serious challenges, things have been tough since the beginning of the year and they are likely to remain so till the end of the year. We have serious challenges but we also have strengths and if we do the right things we can keep a steady course and emerge out of the current situation,” Okonjo-Iweala said during yesterday’s briefing in Abuja on the finalised 2015 Budget.

She disclosed that “as a result of the 50% decline in oil revenues, the country has faced a difficult cash crunch and the Federal Government has focused on keeping the economy stable and the government running through a series of measures.”
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Spends N14,000 Daily To Feed Each Prisoner — Minister by cola: 6:52pm On May 12, 2016
The journalist and the newspaper are criminally careless or mischievous.
10billion annually divided by 57000 prisoners and 365 days in a year does not equal 14000 naira.
The simple arithmetic gives 480 naira per day per prisoner.

Mods pls do the needful and avoid misinforming your readers.

Me i know what i don't want to see;

1. Keke marwa & such nonsense

2. Nauseating feeding allowance/logistics for Aso Villa

3. Unemployed stipends.... It should be redirected to SMEs & Start-ups funding..
With due respect i want you to point me to me the exact doc or audio or similar where the president or the vp talked about stipends for the unemployed.
What I have heard the vp talk about is stipend for the poorest and most vulnerable.
Now, who disagrees with handouts for 65yrs old widows and weak old men.
Govts in even more prosperous economies have social safety nets for the most vulnerable in their societies.
And the money they get gets spent in the economy anyway...

For the unemployed, no. For poor old widows and the weak, i don't mind.
CareerRe: Nigeria University Lecturers' Salaries: How Much? by cola: 11:16am On Apr 15, 2016
zayidhs:
Graduate Assistant (GA) is the lowest level, it requires only a first degree and is graded CONUASS1 step 2. CONUASS stands for Consolidated University Academic Salary Structure.

The salary including bonuses like housing, medical, transportation and also, deductions like rent, union dues(ASUU), tax, pension fund etc differs from one University to another.

Reason for the difference is most state & a few federal Universities cannot fully implement the salary structure as such, the difference manifests. The salary range is 84,000 to 108,000

Unlike promotion in the non-academic cadre which requires only a three-year working period devoid of queries or serious misdemeanours (though at principal officer level ie PAR, DR, exams have to be taken) academic field requires an upgrade in qualifications (B.Sc/B.A/B.Tech/B.Eng to M.Sc/M.A/M.Eng to PH.D) also, in between are requirements like publications, journals, researches, paper presentations, moderation etc.

In other words, if you are employed as a non-academic staff with a B.Sc as an Administrative Assistant, even if you don't lift a finger(though you have to fulfill some criteria and be graded by your head based on things like punctuality, efficiency, seminars attended etc so it is best you worked hard), in three years, you'll be promoted to Administrative Officer then three years later, Assistant Registrar, and another three years, Senior Assistant Registrar then three years after that, Principal Assistant Registrar before the promotional exams kick off.

But as an academic staff, if you haven't gone on study leave to get your next qualification, you'll still be where you are 10 years later just an increase in steps Eg from CONUASS 1step 2 to CONUASS 1 step 3 with the financial difference only about 2,000. On that note, there are a number of years you can remain on a particular level, either you further your education, or you change Cadre to non-academic/or quit.

Don't expect the salaries to be the same. I know a Federal Polytechnic that pays better than a State University and a State University that pays better than a Federal University.
Thank you for this. Quite detailed.
CareerRe: Nigeria University Lecturers' Salaries: How Much? by cola: 10:58am On Apr 15, 2016
CzarChris:
Like someone said earlier, a Graduate assistant earns about 105k and an Assistant lecturer earns a little above 120k. The salaries are after tax, and it's a consolidated salary so all allowances are inclusive in the above sum.
The only earned allowances that most universities find difficult to pay is the excess workload.

Note: To be an assistant lecturer you must have masters degree and proof of admission to do a PhD program, for lecturer 2 you must have at least a PhD.
Are you sure, sir that these are after-tax earnings?

PoliticsRe: Metuh Writes Petition Against Judge, Wants Trial Transferred by cola: 7:19pm On Mar 17, 2016
seunmsg:
Before Metuh was eventually charged to court, he ran his mouth like tap everywhere telling whoever cares to listen that if the government have evidence against, they should charge him to court and he will defend himself. Now that he's in court, to open his defence is a problem. The prosecuting team have closed their case for over two weeks and Metuh and his team cannot open their defence. If he's not making frivolous application, his Lawyer will be in an unnamed hospital in Ilorin treating an unnamed ailment.

Now, he wants the judge to hands of the case because they were classmates. That's the silliest excuse I have ever heard. No amount of delay tactics will help him as he will eventually run out of excuse and be forced to defend himself. There is no hiding place for the corrupt and justice most definitely be done in this case. The era of getting away will corruption is over, this is the era of change and the time for justice is now
You don't get it.
Metuh and his lawyers are simply afraid of Abang Okon, who seems to be the most merciless against accused looters. Remember record 400m naira bail. And then 2billion?

Metuh and friends know that with this man, there would be no games and it would be the maximum sentence if convicted.

Any judge but Abang!

Metuh has good reasons not to want this man on his case.

Nobody would cheesy cheesy cheesy

What grade did you graduate with? If your degree class is high - 4.0 and above you could apply to some schools esp yours to be recruited as graduate assistant. Otherwise finish up with your m.sc and get the doctorate going and apply as assistant lecturer to your select schools.

Best of luck.

4 APRIL 2012 - At the beginning of 2012, WHO was notified by the Federal Ministry of Health in Nigeria of an outbreak of Lassa fever. As of March 22, 2012, 623 suspected cases, including 70 deaths have been recorded from 19 of the 36 States since the beginning of the year. Laboratory analysis undertaken at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua Edo State has confirmed the presence of Lassa virus infection in 108 patients. Three doctors and four nurses were reported to be among the fatalities. This information is provisional and subject to change when laboratory results for Lassa fever in suspected cases become...

Are we going to ban agbada and babanriga too?

And the backpack bags that is ubiquitous in every school?

Buhari made this statement under a situation of insistent pressure to provide an answer without having the time to think it through. In fact his first reaction was that banning the hijab was no option.

Nobody is going to ban any hijab. The farthest anybody would go is to start an appeal campaign for women in the areas concerned to reduce the size of the hijab.
