PoliticsRe: Is The Federal Character Principle Necessary?, By Kenneth Amaeshi by connkg(m): 2:25pm On Sep 17, 2018
@0balufonlll I think the OP is right because merit isn't mutually exclusive to Federal Character inclusion. You failed to state how the centre can be rendered unattractive. IMHO, meritocracy can render the centre unattractive.

@VULCAN Merit (in a form) is what is currently used in determining the Federal Character principle. This form of merit is lopsided, as it does not consider State population or place of birth, for instance. For one, it considers the birthplace of parents, attributes that to the child and predetermines what level IQ the child should have. The time for presumptions that supported this is past. For example, a child from Southern Nigeria, but born in the North will have to perform better than those he schooled with, because it is assumed that his parents are better educated (This is even when school-teaching cuts across board)

The form of merit currently practised needs to be equalised. The standards are high enough for some subjects and so poor for others. The presumptions that created this form of thinking need to be reviewed, and reviewed by standardised merit. Nothing stops Federal inclusion by equal standards. I believe the population size for each position is large enough to cater for equal standard, merit-based Federal inclusion.

In your opinion, ONNYX, why was the result of growing a local wheat specie discouraging?
I have work experience in Pulp and Paper, and there's that problem, too. Start-up raw material importation.
We should have both long fibre pulp and short fibre pulp here in Nigeria (based on climatic conditions).

I would also like to get a lecturer's input, especially one from a University of Agriculture.

Well, ivory, you may as well hand it over, after requesting cost estimates, of course.
I suggest you also keep the electronic upgrades as secondary until more mechanical restoration/ refurbishment/ recovery/ repair/ rejuvenation/ remediation...is carried out.

@HungerBAD

Wherever he is, there would be Northerners and Westerners to leak same information (in the corollary).
He was last seen publicly the day before soldiers invaded his family house.
He could have run or he could have been taken.

Thanks, AutoElectNG.
I didn't know brake fluid was hygroscopic. I now know.
So, inside that plastic cup, rubber- covered, hydraulic can attract up to 4% moisture/ water in volume?
Inside that engine temperature?
Isn't it presently the farthest away from rushing air and even under the windshield air/ water drain?
4%?

BTW, I don't have any device to plot long. and lat. to get your actual location...

Starting indigenous right from the head of government brings the political will to local industries. Starting local means treating ear infections in Nigeria and actually having a design request to challenge local professionals.

I don't think there's a "k" in theYoruba word for "call". I think it's "pe".
It's Igbos who spell as they pronounce.

Is this part real, too? It's getting a little theatrical for me.
Great work, though. More grease!

Ishilove:
Toh. Don't let anyone fool you with that 'they can delay my destiny but can't stop it' nonsense. You can be delayed in such a way that you will be unable to fulfill that destiny. This mama that is getting married at this age, but she will be unable to have children. A man who graduates from aviation school at the age of 70 because of satanic delay is getting his certificate to fulfill all righteousness because no airline will employ him.

Delay is deadly and is a waster of destinies. Never agree to be delayed.
That's one way to look at it, prone to fear.
Another way is to believe the 70 yr old will be employed as a Pilot Trainer and that "mama" will have a successful assisted birth.
Prone to fulfilment.

Caveat: I do not accept delays, denials or delays as denials.
