PhonesIs Blackberry Smartphone Going Down D Drain? by corruptst(op): 6:13pm On Dec 20, 2013
Struggling smartphone maker Blackberry
has agreed a five-year deal with Foxconn,
the big Taiwan-based maker of electronic
products and components.
The two companies will initially work on the
development of a new smartphone.
Blackberry also announced on Friday a third-
quarter loss of $4.4bn (£2.7bn), including a
big write-down of assets.
The firm once dominated the smartphone
market, but has seen its fortunes fall in recent
years and last month abandoned an attempt to
find a buyer.
Blackberry recently appointed an interim chief
executive, John Chen, following the collapse of
a planned sale to its biggest shareholder,
Fairfax Financial Holdings.
"It's an absolutely essential deal for
Blackberry," Ben Wood, mobile analyst at
research firm CCS Insight, told the BBC.
"Foxconn gives them the scale they need to be
competitive, particularly in the Far Eastern
markets, such as Indonesia - Blackberry's
biggest market."
'Determination'
Blackberry has been hit by the success and
popularity of smartphones launched by rivals
such as Apple and Samsung. Its attempts to
boost its market share have not yielded the
desired results.
"This partnership demonstrates BlackBerry's
commitment to the device market for the
long-term and our determination to remain the
innovation leader in secure end-to-end mobile
solutions," said Mr Chen.
"Partnering with Foxconn allows BlackBerry to
focus on what we do best - iconic design,
world-class security, software development
and enterprise mobility management - while
simultaneously addressing fast-growing
markets leveraging Foxconn's scale and
efficiency that will allow us to compete more
effectively."
Foxconn is the world's largest manufacturer of
electronic products and components, and
already has extensive links with Apple as the
maker of the iPad and iPhone.
Meanwhile, Blackberry's quarterly results
continue to underline the company's struggle
to regain financial stability. Excluding the one-
time items and writedowns, the loss was
$354m.
Revenue fell to $1.19bn from $2.73bn as
increased uncertainty about the company's
fate led to further sales erosion.
A new line of devices that run on BlackBerry
10 software has failed to win back market
share.

EducationRe: The Fallen Standard Of Education In Nigeria by corruptst(op): 12:41pm On Nov 23, 2013
I could remember vividly few years back when Etisalat stated emphatically that they needed applicants for their Graduate Trainee Programme irrespective of the course of study. I learnt from a reliable source that they employed all 1st class and virtually all 2nd class upper candidates that applied. If you have been a member of Association of Unemployed Graduates since then, you don't need to explain, we understand your situation.

Nairalanders are not even left out of this decadence. Yoi see a topic on front page and when you quickly take a peep into it, it's a different story entirely. If you can't present a suitable title for your post, how then can you write a business proposal, application letter, letter of invitation, letter of reference, etc. I shake my head. The use of English on nairaland is no poor that we may have to beg the administrators to include a grammar check software to save us from persistent 'gunshot'. 'Bastardization' of the use of tenses, word structure, concord, and what have we, all exist. I always have my fun moments though. Association of Unemployed Graduates. Lol! You need to see the written English of some posters (not all) in this section. Practically, unemployable English. No offence intended.

You also start wondering what planet most posters come from. From the 'End time things' posters whose only sensible thing to say is thus. Imagine being in an interview and they ask you to comment on an issue and all you have to say is "End Time Things". My brother, your employment letter is reserved for you in Heaven. The '1st to comment' people kinda make me wonder of our educational system is breeding intellectuals or clowns. Rather, I should ask my 'able moderators' if there is a prize attached to making such annoying proclamation. And for those who think using the pen for tribal bashing is fun, my guesses are that you either didn't pass through a higher institution or the higher institution you claim to attend didn't pass through you. I am not sorry to say this.

As a way of concluding this piece, reality shows, musicals and sports are fast replacing educational programmes on screen. A below average student can authoritatively tell you how many goals Messi scored in his career, how much Mikel Obi currently earns, who won the champions' league in 2002 including the top goal scorer then, the winners of MTN project fame from inception till date, where Davido is this afternoon and what he ate this morning, etc. Why can't they channel this energy and obsessive information seeking into their education and/research and let's see how things will go from there. These are the same set of people that cannot tell you the first president Nigeria had or tell you the second line in the National Anthem yet d unreleased remixed version of Skelewu is in this their skull.

All stakeholders and the government must wake up to their responsibilities. What the future holds for our educational sector and our youth, all I can say is, "Time will definitely tell".

I hope this post makes front page.
EducationRe: The Fallen Standard Of Education In Nigeria by corruptst(op): 11:46am On Nov 23, 2013
My admission to the university was a bit delayed, maybe 5 yrs late in a bid to secure "Medicine" on 'merit'. Imagine what could happen in 5 yrs. So, I entered with a new 'breed'/generation of students, who were so proud to flash their results during registration. I was forced to cover mine with a blank A4 paper with the feeling that I'm the dunce among them. Fortunately, I had an edge over them in the exams (5 yrs for house na joke?) and most of them were forced to come to me for tutorials (which automatically translates to free food for me)'Winks'

The 'so called' lecturers are not left out as some will have to dictate a whole textbook written by another author/colleague/HOD as lecture notes and you begin to wonder if that person himself studied that area in the university. If becoming a lecturer is all about reading out notes to us, then all of us can equally fit in that position. Another sad aspect of university education is having to write down answers to questions in the lecturer's own words. That's how to pass well. It was a game of 'Survival of the Crammers'. This kills creativity as well as the area of consulting textbooks to understand the course better. For the project writers, it's a game of 'Edit, Copy & Paste'. Plagiarism has become the order of the day.

Also, the private universities are not left out. After all, is it not the same lecturers that exuberate dominance in govt owned institutions that humbly teach in this private schools. I stand to be corrected on this. A lecturer that don't know how to browse the internet or create a PowerPoint presentation and yet they will still embark on strike asking for more pay.

EducationThe Fallen Standard Of Education In Nigeria by corruptst(op): 10:44am On Nov 23, 2013
The deplorable state of Education in Nigeria calls for serious concern among the government and the stakeholders (parents, teachers, students and employers of labour). Going down the memory lane is essential for us to know where we are coming from, where we are today and where we are heading to. Gone are those days when just having 5 credits in your O' level (Maths and English included) gave the alluring impression of an above average student, and having 8 distinctions and 1 credit were results reserved for the genuis (exceptionally brilliant ones). Even as the best graduating student and best English Language student in the government owned secondary school I attended, I could still remember looking into my O' level result and wondering how I got a C6 in English. Tough luck, I must confess. That's how education was then. I do not claim to have enjoyed the best that Nigeria education offered in its prime but looking back, I think it's far better than what suffice now.

What do we have now? Any Tom, Dick and Harry flash O'level results for all to see with outright incredible grades yet they could hardly say/write a complete sentence in English. Same applies to other subjects, or how else can someone who had B3 in Mathematics have problems with solving factorization. If you are one of those saying, "It's not everyone that's good in Maths", then count yourself among those I am pointing accusing fingers at.

During my preclinical years in the university, I once tried organizing WAEC and JAMB preparatory tutorials for students in my area but got the surprise of my life when one of the chaps asked me about the arrangements I have made for "Special Centres". Not that I'm hearing that for the 1st time but coming from a boy that had not even attempted any of such exams and the level of details he gave was so disheartening. All efforts to prove that the tutorials will be enough proved abortive. JAMB exams are not left spared as well, even with numerous strategies devised to curtail exam malpractices, it's still the same old story. A handbill for a tutorial class was like, "Embarrass UTME by scoring above 280". I jus smiled and walked away thinking about "our time". Was it that JAMB exams have gotten simpler or this same students have become more brilliant than we were? These were questions begging for answers but I guess we all know now.

PoliticsHow Jonathan Will Lose In 2015 by corruptst(op): 1:29pm On Nov 21, 2013
With no known accomplishment in public
service, President Goodluck Jonathan rode to
the Presidency in 2011 on a wave of
undefined hope with the assistance of an
unsuspecting media, and a gullible electorate.
To his supporters, Jonathan was a bolt of
lightning that would unite Nigeria, restore
prosperity, and bring “a breath of fresh air”
to the polluted politics of Abuja, and Nigeria
in general. His detractors, on the other hand,
saw a recluse with a murky past and little
evidence to warrant the adulation heaped on
him. Who was right? As his first term drags on
painfully, it has become clear that Nigerians
who supported and voted for him had
invested their hope in a phantom. Under
Jonathan’s leadership, the economy has,
forget the chest-thumping rhetoric of the
finance minister, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
been a mess and this country has never been
more divided. It has now turned out that
electing one based on little other than the
sentimental rhetoric of a deprived childhood
may not have been such a good idea after all.
To say that Jonathan was a phenomenon in
2011 will not be an exaggeration. He ran a
huge campaign and broke records in vote
totals. But it will be impossible for him to
match those levels of excitement in 2015.
Usually, in a presidential election, the odds of
getting re-elected have always favoured the
incumbent. But in a depressed economy like
ours, or when the public perceives the
incumbent as feckless in spending, dithering
or simply not up to the task, this conventional
wisdom will not matter. And that is the case
with President Jonathan. Several factors, when
taken together, make it almost impossible for
him to win a re-election in 2015. President
Jonathan cannot win. This President has
several key flaws which have already blighted
his Presidency. His most telling undoing, of
course, has been the fact that he has not
been much of a party leader with his party
now crumbling under his watch. To begin
with, the mist has cleared and millions of
Nigerians (except for sycophants) have seen
with their own eyes that “the breath of fresh
air’’ was just more of the same old political
rhetoric. In 2015, Jonathan’s campaign will
not have the historical significance it did in
2011.
Second, which is the reason for this piece is
how the demographics that saw him elected
President will work against him in 2015. The
President has alienated just too many
Nigerians, including large numbers from his
own party, the Peoples Democratic Party. In
2015, many will vote against him or simply
just stay home–that’s for want of a credible
and well-accepted candidate from the
opposition. President Jonathan is a self-
created myth. There is little substance behind
the façade other than the deceptive style of
politics that has long defined Nigerian
politicians.
In 2011, his campaign avoided specifics; his
speeches contained no substance. His greatest
asset was his “unknownness.” As a blank
slate, Nigerians imagined whatever they
wanted in the next president. They were
aided by a campaign which played up the
sentiments of his deprived childhood. It was a
deceptive farce cleverly scripted to mirror the
lives of ordinary Nigerians who immediately
connected with someone they thought was
one of their own. How wrong have they
been? He was thought to be an outsider who
would clean up Abuja. Any PDP presidential
candidate who gained the nomination in 2011
was likely ensured the presidency. Having said
that, Jonathan will lose the next election
because his greatest asset, his “unknownness”,
no longer exists. The imagination of Nigerians
can no longer be manipulated in the presence
of facts. Simply put, Jonathan will not be re-
elected because ordinary Nigerians can now
see him for who he is. What people are
getting now is nothing like what they were
promised or imagined. What was a blank slate
upon which to imagine a Jonathan presidency
now is a full-blown portrait filled with
disappointment and more of the same.
Gradually, it is appearing a great mistake was
made in 2011. That mistake is now apparent
to most Nigerians. Even his South-South home
base and party stalwarts in the PDP
establishment recognise his failings, although
neither is willing to publicly discuss them. It
is hoped that the PDP will have the courage to
look elsewhere in their next convention.
Although that is unthinkable, they can only
hope that this election does not destroy what
remains of the party. The cracks are already
visible. Based on the debacle presently
rocking his party, that fear is not unfounded.
The most compelling image of Jonathan is the
one showing him ducking all of the tough
issues that have come his way. For him, the
buck stopped with a plethora of committees
and with Okonjo-Iweala. But her Bretton
Wood prescriptions have worsened the
economy with unemployment figures reaching
a record high.
Why and how Jonathan will lose this next
election is less difficult to understand than
how he won the first time. Certainly, the
demographics will be less favourable this time
unless something dramatic happens during
the polls. In 2011, the President won in
almost all the zones of the federation. In
2015, he will not have such a luxury. Take the
South-West zone for example. The zone was a
battleground which contributed immensely to
his first term victory. In 2015, it will present
a test case for Jonathan. For one, the
influence of his party has waned in the zone.
In many of the South-West states, for
example, the PDP has become too fractious
and weakened. The emergence of the All
Progressives Congress, with Maj-Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) and Bola Tinubu
hoping to consolidate on a renewed alliance
will make the South-West a no-win for the
President. If the alliance between the APC
(Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani) work, Jonathan’s
second term is best forgotten. If the
opposition presents a credible candidate,
perhaps, it will be the first time an incumbent
will be defeated. The South-West and the
North are key battleground zones. The crisis
rocking the fractious PDP fuelled by his
controversial chairman, Bamanga Tukur, may
yet turn out to be his Achilles’ heels.
The politics of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum
also offers a glimpse into how Jonathan will
not be re-elected. Governor Chibuike Amaechi
won 19 out of 35 votes in the NGF
chairmanship election, while Governor Jonah
Jang got 16 votes with the Yobe State
Governor abstaining. Many of the governors
who voted for Amaechi have sympathy for the
APC. Seven of the nine PDP governors that
supported Amaechi are now in the “New PDP”
with a chance of defecting to the APC
anytime: Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Adamawa,
Rivers, Kwara and Niger (also called the G7
governors). Kebbi and Gombe are still in the
Jonathan camp of the “Old PDP” but their next
move is almost predictable. Note that
Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Niger, Kebbi and Gombe
all voted for Buhari in 2011. The South-East
zone, which also has a valid claim to the
presidency, will intensify its quest in 2015. It
may likely pitch its tent with the party that
offers the best chance to actualise this dream.
Will Jonathan be a one-term president? It is
very likely.

thelastPope: This is why some of us don't bother commenting on NL anymore. There are 2 groups of people on NL. One group are ACN and CPC supporters who are paid to do what they do and they critisize everything for obvious reasons. The other group are mostly teens and students with BB. These one just criticize everything on every thread because they think its the trending thing to do. They dont read the article and when they manage to, they obviously don't understand it or don't care to.

Its all very childish and unintelligent.

You can debate the location but you cannot question such a project. That is the kind of thinking that you call revolutionary. Think how many jobs and business opportunities that will provide. Even the eediots commenting here will benefit directly or indirectly from it. They say the government is doing nothing and go ahead and critisize exactly what should bring that change. Imagine a foool up there saying it is a waste. How is something a waste when you will spend nothing on it but gain everything from it. Only an eediot or a partisan ebemy of progress will say such a thing. Another dunce said it is not priority. What is more priority than government creating an environment for prosperity and expansion? How do you create jobs? Is it by just handing out employment letters to idle youths to come and join the corrupt and do nothing over bloated, federal character infested, work force we already have? Is it not why Lagos is talking about a mega city? It is amazing that the same ACN eediots that talk about eko atlamtic and Lagos mega city are here critisizing this. It just exposes them as the hypocrites we already know they are! They are Nigeria's worst enemy right now! They are only interested in pushing their party agenda. Shameless bunch. SMH!

Like I said before, the only thing that can be debated here is the location. I was suprised when I saw the news because we have discussed this here on NL just a while back how the government should encourage the building of new cities as a big step towards improving the country.
Sir, as much as I loved your contribution in d initial state, I was rather surprised wt d level and nature of foul language that u used on the thread. If u want to correct sum1, jus do so without having to use derogatory words. "I av said my own".
PoliticsThe Many Evils Of An Ex-governor by corruptst(op): 5:35pm On Dec 06, 2012
On Tinubu and Fashola of Lagos State:

1. 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.

2. Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.

3. The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.

4. The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

5. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.

6. The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.

7. The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.

8. While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.

9. The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.

10. Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:
• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.
• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million
• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion
• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.
• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.

11. Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.

12. Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.

13. It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex.

14. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.

15. Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.

16. Tinubu singlehandedly sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.

17. Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.

18. Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.

19. Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.

20. The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.

Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash.

amourpure: Although i don't support the idea of forcing the legislators to learn French its obvious it is going to be another waste of public funds. The idea of including the language in the curriculum of the secondary schools is applaudable. It will go a long way to help the students.
