Lagos – The Management of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi- Araba, on
Monday refuted claims that two Chinese nationals allegedly infected with the Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) died in the hospital.
Prof. Chris Bode, the acting Chief Medical Director of the hospital, debunked the rumour at a
news conference in Lagos.
Bode, therefore, urged Nigerians to disregard what he called ‘the mischievous rumour’ as no
such incident happened in the hospital.
However, according to a social media report, two foreigners who were allegedly infected with
Ebola were brought to LUTH on Sunday, April 12 but subsequently died.
Bode said that the management of LUTH would continue to maintain the required vigilance, to
prevent the resurgence of the disease.
“We shall continue to observe all precautions to quickly identify any likely cases of Ebola, in
line with international best practices.
“We have combed our records at all points of entry in LUTH for the past two weeks and have
no such incident to report.
“Our professionals at the Emergency Services, various lines of respondents to such events,
laboratories and nurses, all reported that no such case occurred in our hospital,’’ he said.
Bode described the rumour as reckless and malicious and condemned whoever and wherever
it originated from.
He noted that if left unchallenged, such falsehood was capable of undermining the glorious
works and enormous sacrifices made by the Federal Government, State Governments and
various stakeholders.
“Many sung and unsung heroes and heroines sacrificed to rid Nigeria of the dreaded disease
and won our nation many international accolades
“Such rumour is very reckless and also has grave implications for Nigerians travelling outside
the country, and may negatively impact on the sub-regional economy, especially in this
critical phase,’’ he added. (NAN) http://linkis.com/www.vanguardngr.com/bwm6i

buh one tin i still dnt understand is how come we still dnt enjoy d benefit of d falling in price of oil as a citizen.......according to d article

Everything you want to know about falling oil prices
Mar 18th 2015, 11:08 by E.L. | LONDON
Why is the oil price falling?
Mostly because of increased supply from America—up by
4m barrels a day since 2009. Although most crude exports
are still banned, American imports have plummeted,
contributing to a glut on world markets. Other producers
have decided not to try to curb their production and keep
the price up.
Why?
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries is
dominated by Gulf producers, notably Saudi Arabia. They
have huge reserves to cushion the impact of low prices.
They also hope that the slump will eventually shut down
high-cost production, tightening the market again.
Are they right to think that?
Probably not. America’s shale production boom is based on new techniques—fracking and horizontal drilling—and unlike
“big oil” involves small companies and small projects. These are flexible, meaning they will quickly respond to any price
rise. And they are innovative: huge productivity gains still lie ahead.
What about the other producers?
Other producers such Nigeria and Venezuela are indeed hurting badly. But OPEC solidarity stretches only so far. Russia
tried and failed to get OPEC support for a production curb—and is now ramping up its production in the hope of protecting
the volume of oil revenues.
Will low prices continue?
It looks like it. Some high-cost production is closing, but once wells are drilled, it usually makes sense to keep pumping,
even at a loss. It is better to make a little money rather than none. And the shale revolution is marching on.
How low can the price go?
If your correspondent could forecast that, he would be on a yacht reading The Economist rather than at a desk writing for it.
But much below $40 will sharply increase bankruptcies, and the pressure on OPEC to curb production. Cheap energy also
leads to higher demand.
What happens next?
The debate about lifting America’s ban on crude exports is firing up. The petrochemical and steel lobbies are fighting a
rear-guard action against big oil. America’s domestic crude (light and sweet) is unsuited for the nation’s refineries
(configured for sour and heavy imported oil)—but would make a lucrative export.
Who benefits from low prices?
Winners necessarily outnumber losers (imagine a world in which energy was free). Consumers have more cash in their
pockets; industry enjoys lower energy costs, makes bigger profits, and pays more taxes. And it is a great time for
companies with strong balance-sheets to make acquisitions.
And who suffers?
The oil industry’s immediate reaction is to squeeze costs out of its supply chain. So wages and margins are falling fast.
Highly indebted companies are going bust, with knock-on effects on investors. But lower costs help the industry adapt and
increase efficiency.

Okonjo Iweala "its not enough to study and analyse poverty but to live by it"
My Mentor , kind of being I aspire to be......
We read about you on Wikipedia, it says that ur undergraduate was nt in Nigeria but in one of the topmost University in America even globally.
We talk of Harvard university, private university in USA. U r a first class graduate Ur PhD and MSC from the same place.
Let me ask by saying this "how wuld ur policy favour the chunk of the population Wich are the poor in the country"? U said u want to curtail wastage, who are to spend the surplus from this if at all its later implemented?
Taxing of private jets , yatch , champagne and so on......if they are finally implemented , who are the beneficiary? U said "its nt a means to inconvenience wealthy people in d society but help those that aspires to be at the top(poor).
Devaluation of our currency is helping who? The rich or the poor?.....yes ma I dnt believe devaluation will alleviate poverty level in our country but rather exacerbate the situation. When you make traveling abroad, shopping abroad , hotels and others foreign activities to be more expensive to the Nigerians, does that sabotage rich from doing what they love doing abroad? But rather make commodities goods expensive in the society, discouraging prospective firm depending on imported raw materials from being prolific.
The price of crude oil has fallen globally , don't tell me we are not aware of this before the sudden decrease, you are an economist ma dnt tell me we only make economic policy but also predicting the future from the present happening and the past. A lot of developed countries like USA and Isreal have been devising a way by which vehicle which is no. 1 and most in the consumption of fuel will be using electricity in some years to come which can be tomorrow, tell me who is our no. 1 buyers of crude oil?
A lot of African countries have been discovering crude oil, country like Sudan and so on. We all know the law of demand and supply, even relationship between the two. Suppliers of crude oil are increasing but those that constitute the largest market for it are decreasing, what would happen?
Let us rethink , we formulate certain policy that even an Ss3 student will even be skeptical about.
WOLE Soyinka "this generation are the endangered one"
So many economists have written a lot of articles on how to resuscitate Agriculture back to its best....... a lots have written different books on how to create employment opportunities but you refused their policies.
We always hear it on the radio that FG has created 10,000 job to the citizens, who are those people you are creating jobs for? The unemployment rate keeps increasing and our institutions keep turning out output of graduate every year.
This nation belong to us, let examine our policies. Thanks

A new theory could answer the question of how life began – and throw out the need for
God.
A writer on the website of Richard Dawkins’ foundation says that the theory has put God
“on the ropes” and has “terrified” Christians.
It proposes that life did not emerge by accident or luck from a primordial soup and a bolt
of lightning. Instead, life itself came about by necessity – it follows from the laws of
nature and is as inevitable as rocks rolling downhill.
The problem for scientists attempting to understand how life began is understanding
how living beings – which tend to be far better at taking energy from the environment
and dissipating it as heat – could come about from non-living ones.
But a new theory, proposed by a researcher at MIT and first reported in Quanta
Magazine, proposes that when a group of atoms is exposed for a long time to a source of
energy, it will restructure itself to dissipate more energy. The emergence of life might
not be the luck of atoms arranging themselves in the right way, it says, but an inevitable
event if the conditions are correct.
“You start with a random clump of atoms, and if you shine light on it for long enough, it
should not be so surprising that you get a plant,” England said
Paul Rosenberg, writing this week on Richard Dawkins’ site, said that the theory could
make things “a whole lot worse for creationists”.
As Rosenberg notes, the idea that life could have evolved from non-living things is one
that has been held for some time, and was described by the pre-Socratic philosophers.
But England’s theory marks the first time that has been convincingly proposed since
Darwin, and is backed by mathematical research and a proposal that can be put to the
test. source http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/new-theory-of-life-could-prove-how-life-began-and-disprove-god-10070114.html?cmpid=facebook-post

SalesConsultant:
Lesson One:
Why Customers Buy!

Customers are indeed the lifeblood of every business because without customers, you have no business. As the old axiom goes “nothing happens until somebody buys something.” The most important function of every business is to create and keep customers. It’s that simple and that difficult. It’s a common believe that most business failure in Nigeria are caused by a lack of capital. It’s also false. Practically all business failure is course by lack of customers. If you have enough customers, you can do almost everything else wrong and still make profit. But if you don’t have enough customers, you can do everything else right and go broke.

In today’s competitive market, why should customers buy from you? Many of my students and clients had trouble answering this question. They respond with things like “we have been in business for 15 years” and “we have the best service” or “our quality is the best” and so on. Well, if you’re a Doctor, Lawyer, Professor, Engineer, Teacher, Accountant, or other professional, that may be the case. But it’s an arrogant and very dangerous attitude as a Salesperson, Entrepreneurs or Business owners. The truth is that the success of any business isn’t determined by what any body knows. Its determined by what sells and how well you sell it. As a salesperson, it isn’t what you know but what your customers buy that counts most. In a personal business, it’s easy for you and me to think of ourselves as the business. Don’t be fooled. The customers are the business. We are the service providers. As homour writer Linda Perret remarked, “The customers isn’t always right, but he’s always the one with the money.”

The first thing you need to realize is that success in the regular job and the Salesmanship/Entrepreneur's world involves different journeys requiring different maps. Too many new salespersons in Nigeria fail simply because they continue to think and act like regular employees. You have a great self-image, high expectations, a positive attitude, and steely determination. But you aren’t going to be successful following the wrong map, and this misconception maybe holding you back.

Creating value is the key. What do people buy? Benefits! Customers any where in the world exchange their hard earn money f[i]or something they believe will satisfy them more than the money they have to pay for it[/i]. No customer will buy from you or me except they are well convinced that the value they get is greater than the cost. So whatever your choice of business, your basic job is to offer a product or service and convince customers that its worth far more to them than the money it cost. That is called creating perceived value, and if you are good at this, you won’t lack customers.

So adopt the successful salespeople’s map today. Forget about your own view of the world. Put aside your ego, prejudices, and your opinions and look at the world through your customers eyes. Who are your customers? What do they want? What’s value to them? How do I provide it? Do I need advice or training? Answering these questions correctly is the key to success in any endeavour. A Sunday time author Michael Morris remarked and I quote “customers buy because your marketing is better, meaning you have put together a proposition that is more relevant to them than anything else on offer.” And that’s it. Get it right, and you could be on the way to fortune. Get it wrong and there is no point in going any further. Please, feel free to share your thoughts and comments while we prepare for the next lesson:

Wow!!!!! this is really MKT201 I love the course thou

Boazzz:
Do they still write "fill in the gap" in there exams?

Lol.....that is what my lecturers knw how to set best and u will fail big time........Economics that's our way......
Yakubu and Yaru fill in d gap......

with little knowledge I acquired in Pos111 and Pos114
both are collectively called Legislative.(bi cameral)........... senate is upper chamber while the House of rep is lower chamber. this name vary from one country to another in Us the lower is house of common and upper is house of Lord.......same as Britain
