This story is coming out in bits and pieces. It's more confusing because it is difficult to know who reached out to the other and whether there had been any liaisons before the recording.
What did she go to other lecturers for, if she passed? What did the lecturer do after he realised she had passed?
I do not think the entire story has been revealed.
Car TalkRe: Honda Accord 2004 Power Steering Pump by connkg(m): 2:55pm On Apr 24, 2018
@adanny01
I'm glad I found this thread. My Accord 02 V6 power steering started leaking and I remembered this thread! I noted where it leaked from and thought it was a bad oil seal. Loosened with a 10spanner to find an o-ring. Replaced o-ring and topped up ABRO with the lighter Holts. It was quiet and smoother for about a week, but now I hear a new whine.
After parking, I jig the steering and it's there. Is the "PSF" mix bad?
@diportivo Have you tried the engine oil? I'd like your response (as you're richer than I am....) grin
CultureRe: How Culture Is Destroying Christianity In Africa – Pastor Poju Oyemade Writes by connkg(m): 8:37pm On Apr 23, 2018
Dear Pastor, sometimes a life test skips a generation and the grandchildren fail because they were not mentored, but directed by commands. They fail to see the reason why until it is too late. Not many parents tell their children of their life experiences at similar age, only to do so when demanding compliance.
It is a very difficult part of our tradition.

The e-tax card is usually done for companies in batches by the State Internal Revenue office. Request it from your employer's Personnel/HR department.

olayemi85:
Please help, I work for a company for almost two years, I just quit the job because of the rate in which they increase our target why reducing our salary and making things difficult for us by each day. But before I quit they deduct each staff salary by 5% as tax expected to be remitted to tax authority but I doubt if this has ever been done, now I just quit, if I need anything from government in future,they may request for my tax certificate or any documents to show I pay my tax, please how do I go about it? Who has any idea of what to do about it? Because I suspect foul play in my company regarding this tax stuff. Thanks for your kind response


Please let the thread grace the front page. Thanks
If there was any deduction, it should reflect on your payslip and your e-tax card (if you have one). Either or both cover government's requirement from you.

EducationRe: Ohanaeze Faults Fg’s Cut-off Mark Disparity In Unity Schools by connkg(m): 2:50pm On Mar 13, 2018
0monnak0da:
The logical problem with your submission is this:

You should be argung that the schools should be scrapped.

Unity schools are not the mechanism for providing secondary school education for the majority of pupils as this also is not within the purview of the Federal governent.
Secondary school education is a state goverment function.

In our wisdom we decided decades ago to have Unity schools and the terms of engagementt were clear from the outset. To start bringing in emotive arguments like one child putting another dow is churlish.
The shools are set up fundamentally on a quota syste philosophy to foster unity. If we disagree with that premise then scrap them. They were never intended as centres of excellence for our brightest and best but as a means of National Integration.
The financial argument is that if the schools were scrapped the money would and should be shared equally to all the states. It is not by any means a meritocracy. The Unity schools have a small quota for National Merit and that quota woul from the figures I see entirely be taken by southern states.There is no cut off mark for the National Merit quota on a state by state basis.

The thing is National Merit as it is called exists but it is a minority percentage so people can debate what is the optimaal level for National Merit

Next is n environmental quota to provide for the Host state and neighbouring states and then the State quota.

So For example State quota may be 60 or 70 % . Environmental quota 20% and National Merit 10% .
.

The total slots of Unity school admissions is less than 0.01% of secondary school provision in Nigeria so there are many alternatives and at any rate these are the only National secondary schools. There is no oint for these schools to exist or Ohhanaeze states can opt out and ask for their share of the money to be given to them.


I am a full chamion of meritocracy and fights against destructive quotta systems but not for Unity schools.We should either scrrap them or allow uninterested states to opt out.

The reality is the Federal money that goes into these states cannot be appropriated for a few states no matter how clever the kids are. That simply is not the role of the FG.
In summary, is merit exclusive of Quota System?
Can Quota System be practised after equal performance tests? Does a cultural interchange only occur when performance levels are different? I do not think the current practice was the original idea.
Everything you wrote DOES NOT negate merit. QS and merit are not mutually exclusive.
Do not confuse QS with low performance.
EducationRe: Ohanaeze Faults Fg’s Cut-off Mark Disparity In Unity Schools by connkg(m): 12:33pm On Mar 13, 2018
It is disheartening to see the true picture of (supposed) compatriots.
In its current form, Quota System, all the way to Federal Character prove that there is a problem which has not been addressed.
Culture is what should be exchanged for unity sake. Bringing in "advantaged" and "disadvantaged" on the basis of origin is unfit and improper. It is almost racial.
When there is such an abuse, it is poor going to argue that one can then sit in a 'Blacks Only' bus; afterall, the 'Whites Only' was labelled as such.
It has gone on too long to reason that the parent was "advantaged".
There is also no excuse for one child to be put upon to deliver better than another, if they both had absentee teachers (for example) because he/she is from a particular State.
Is it that parents from one State have a higher IQ or what?
It is also lopsided to pretend to encourage merit (funded by the general public) by sitting for merit-based term tests and sessional exams, when same merit is sacrificed in entrance requirements. Private, faith-based schools also encourage a form of culture, even in entry requirements. They do not sacrifice merit for State-of-origin in this same country.

BusinessRe: A Nairalander's Experience With Bank Of Industry (documents Attached) by connkg(m): 4:08pm On Feb 27, 2018
@traeces
I think you should have done more research. I approached BOI in late 2016 for funds for SaaS (Software as a Service). I tried reaching into their I.T. department, but found the department didn't quite appreciate an "abstract" idea. I learnt my first lesson - that they understand agribusiness better.
I slowed down and went hunting for those who had I.T. loans. I was able to speak with one. After that contact, I made my choice to go source for Angel Investors instead.
I suggest you speak with someone in your line of interest with a running facility, else you just might find yourself taking multiple loans.
TV/MoviesRe: 50 Cartoons That Were Shown On Nigerian Television In The 1970s And '80s. by connkg(m): 5:01am On Feb 19, 2018
naptu2:
Clapperboard was owned by Toyin Munis (who also had other investments in the entertainment scene in the 1980s and, if I remember correctly, who also managed Lekki Beach in the mid-1980s).

They started off with time slots on LTV (just as Silverbird also had time slots on NTA 2 Channel 5 in the '80s and '90s and how DBN worked with NTA to produce and promote sports events in the 1980s).

Clabberboard showed cartoons like Count Duckula and Inspector Gadget on Saturday mornings on LTV and they also had Clapperboard Raps, their own version of Yo MTV Raps, which was co-produced with Obi Asika.

Clapperboard raps gave new young talent a platform to showcase themselves before the public as they freestyled while Jimmy Jatt played the music. Obi Asika said that a very young 2Face appeared on Clapperboard Raps in 1991.

Clapperboard got a TV license in 1992 and they started transmitting in 1994. They were the first private TV station in Lagos (MBI was the first private TV station in Nigeria, but they were based in Obosi at the time).

However Clapperboard went off air a few years later and Toyin Munis sold the station. It became SuperScreen Television c2001.
Minaj?
Like someone mentioned, most of these cartoons were Lagos-based. National NTA only showed about 30% of your list, in my opinion.
Minaj (Anambra) brought "Victor and Hugo", NTA 6 Aba was cardboard, NTA 10 Port Harcourt was also cardboard.

Car TalkRe: 11 Steps To File A Complaint Against A LASTMA Official by connkg(m): 4:22pm On Feb 08, 2018
autojosh,
I have reported a LASTMA official for (unjustly) having my car towed. It was parked at the side of the road because I had to get something, as well as get a second opinion on the front arms. (I had returned from a trip to PH from Lagos days before and was a bike trip away from my mechanic, where I was just leaving after an oil change).
I went all the way to the Provost Marshall, having paid almost 30K. I was lucky I have an eTax card, else I wouldn't have gotten the car out as quickly as I did. The PM had my picture taken, together with the tow operator and the LASTMA official.
Long story short, PM claimed it would've been better to let the ball joint pull out, than leave car unattended for any length of time
According to him,I should have created an obstruction, as evidence of a problem.

Quote me if you would like to revive this Nov. 2016 matter and I'll happily provide evidence.

RomanceRe: Dorcas Shola Fapson: Feminism And Gender Blackmail by connkg(m): 9:09pm On Feb 04, 2018
I have written, also on NL, that for claims such as rape, murder or kidnap (which could be difficult to prove), there should be full sentence given one way or the other.
From boy-child abuse to a practical disbelief by even Christian mothers that stories like the Biblical Joseph & Portiphar's wife are real, there is a lack of awareness that the woman is sometimes the aggressor. Torn clothes, injuries and even actual medical penetration may not be enough definitive proof.

She was told to get down or be transported. She chose to be transported.

If there were a law that sentences false accusation at par with sentence for actual crime, I believe there wouldn't be a misplaced feminist movement in the first place.

@ Gazzuzz
My friend with the EOD was lucky to get a compressor and drier from Company old stock. The a/c works, but we noticed a loose connection on top of the receiver drier. I asked him to plug it back in after we got online to discover that it was a pressure switch. He tells me now that, while plugged in and without switching on a/c, ice forms on some lines inside engine bay. Says he disconnected switch on top drier and that didn't happen again.
What's wrong? (I adviced him to plug it back. I believe more in design knowledge, not user/technician advice)
