Reid and Associates, that a custodial suspect must be advised of his rights prior to questioning about a criminal act.

The Political terrain is coming up and our communities and the general public deserves a proper orientation and education on the actual political approaches and conduct towards the sustainance of Democracy  Nigeria. The National Voters Forum (NAVOF) in an Innovation towards ensuring and Promoting the sustainance of democracy in Nigeria and Diaspora.

We should note that for every government to succeed it must embrace excellent and Innovative Ideas towards ensuring it's economic sustainability.

We are out to support the course of credible leadership and excellent aspirations.

Is there any thing wrong with this, to support the government and to be loyal and law abiding to our constituted organisations?

Nigeria is noted as the Giant of Africa, this is because our country have beem contributing very well towards the issues of sustainable economy and environmental development.

The United Nations Organisation is working on the modalities and approaches towards ensuring change and environmental development especially in the developing countries. One of the various ways is the launching of the U.N Millennium Development Goals to ensure environmental sustainable development and equity.

The National Voters Forum aim to change the the poor perception of our people especially those in the Developing countries and the rural communities in Nigeria and Diaspora.

We want the government of the day and the supporters of the government to encourage, promote and empower the course of the National Voters Forum in Nigeria.

The UNDP focuses on building the capacity of developing countries to manage environmental change - capacity that is crucial to ensuring economic and social stability as well as sustained progress in eradicating poverty. Key elements of this capacity development effort address improved environmental governance, technological innovation and diffusion, and enhanced financing mechanisms Together, these elements can empower developing countries to put themselves on a path to MDG-based strategies for reducing poverty while taking sustainability fully into account.
Energy and Environment, one of five main UNDP Practice areas, is central to tackling the underlying factors of energy and environmental challenges in developing countries and to supporting the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Energy and Environment Group (EEG), an advisory group to the Practice, works to ensure that the integration of energy, environment and natural resource considerations into poverty reduction and sustainable development strategies is achieved. The Practice also gives importance to cross-cutting issues such as environmental governance, climate change, reinforcing poverty-reduction, environmental management links, and community-based approaches to development. Sound environmental management is critical to sustained poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs. This reflects the important ways in which the environment is linked to the livelihoods, health, security and empowerment of people living in poverty – particularly women and children. The central challenge is to ensure that progress towards Goal 7 on environmental sustainability also contributes to achieving the other MDGs, particularly the overarching goal of halving extreme poverty by 2015.

With prospect of this nature the World and especially those in the developing countries can enjoy a better world.

Can you tell me reasons why you should not report a brother who do not want you to live to the appropriate quarters?

The act of stealing is becoming very rampant now especially in the rural communities in Nigeria. What is the reason for this?

Well from a perceptual point of view it is due to the level of poverty and high quest for survival in the rural communities where most of the essetial commodities are not available.

In this areas brothers stole from another brother to survive and they may go as far as betraying the brotherly trust just to survive but yet we are all talking about anti- corruption and anti- crimes.

I want to ask that, if, it is proper to report a family brother who is found wanting of Juvenile Delinquency to the Police, especially stealing and oppression?

ANNOUNCER.

Yes we need to flee fornication spiritually, and physically we need to abscorn from unsafe pre-marital sex to avoid contacting Viral disease he who have ears let him hear what the Medical sciences and the Pastors says about fornication.

But there is one very common thing now, that even the Pastors and the medical practitioners are not keeping to these rules.

What can we say about that?

The issue of postponement of the election is more or less the Business of INEC and not that of the National Assembly. The duty of the National Assembly here should be to encourage and probably empower the INEC with supports services to ensure the success of the transition programme.

I believe by now every Nigerian should be vested with INEC time table for the conduct of the election.

Politicians in the National Assembly should stop creating confusion but should work with INEC to ensure that the transition program do not exceed it date.

Now people will start pointing fingers on Uncle Shege. But we should not forget that even though Obj is the President the issue of election has an Independent body that is working independently for its success and it is been headed by a Prof.

Already the Voters Registration is in Progress as programmed and will end by february 14 through out the country, many Nigerian are rushing now to register so that their salaries will not be with held.

I want to say that we all have to be law abiding towards this transition program.

Hi every one. I want to thank you on your comments on schooling Abroad especially in U.K

Please who can tell me how to secure a grant to study in UniS?

I want to apply for a course in Tourism Management.

Regards to you all over there in U.K

Yes selling an idea to a company: The idea we need have to be packaged. Mostly, ideas are propose to companies either as projects or contracts. The packaged may take different forms such as text books or journals or official letter of proposal.

For coperation it is reasonable to use a letter haeded paper of a registered company.

This is what I believe is happening in Nigeria.
