Tell him. With just Coal and Palm oil, Okpara transformed the Eastern region economy to one of the fastest growing economy in the world.

Once free of the toxic influence of Nigeria,we would free ourselves of all Abuja influenced thieves parading themselves as Igbo leaders in a real " Nzogbu Nzogbu Enyimba revolution", and we would get ourselves another Okpara that would take us to where we want to be.

PoliticsFestive period:Nigeria Customs Destroy Cartons Of Turkey Worth Over 30mln Naira by Descartes(op): 3:41am On Dec 03, 2014
http://www.channelstv.com/2014/12/02/nigeria-customs-destroy-cartons-of-turkey-worth-over-30mln-naira

The Federal Operations Unit Zone C of the Nigeria Customs Service has impounded and destroyed 4,635 cartoons of frozen turkey chicken with cumulative duty paid value of 30,000, 595 Naira.

Conducting reporters round the seizure at the Abia/Imo command headquarters of the FOU Zone C in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the Area Comptroller of the Zone, Mr Victor Dimka, said that two suspects have been arrested in connection with the seizures and would be taken to court for further prosecution.

He warned all smugglers and would-be smugglers to desist from such heinous crime as the Nigeria Customs Service are committed to ensuring that smuggling is totally eradicated in the country.

The Area Comptroller said that the suspects were apprehended along Calabar axis as a result of the intelligent information gathered by his men who were determined to wipe out smuggling from Nigeria.

The customs boss further led a team of customs officials, officials of the SSS, NAFDAC and NESREA to the site where the frozen turkey chicken were being destroyed.

Some of the officials of the NESREA, who witnessed the destruction, advised the general public to stop consuming foreign frozen foods because the preservation chemicals were dangerous to human health.
PoliticsAtiku, Kwankwosa Opposes Lagos Venue For APC Primary by Descartes(op): 3:28am On Dec 03, 2014
Atiku Abubakar, a former vice-president and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the governor of Kano state, are not in support of the choice of Lagos as  venue for the APC presidential primary scheduled for December 8.

In a document signed by both aspirants and obtained by NAN in Abuja on Tuesday, the presidential aspirants said the relocation of the primary was not convenient.

“Our party has paid for the Eagle Square for December 7, 8, 10 and 11,” the document read.

“This will enable our party to maximally harvest the fallout of PDP national assembly primary since we have nothing to harvest from the PDP presidential primary as they have only one candidate.

“The proposed venue of Lagos is not convenient for all; we therefore advise that our party reverts to Abuja as the venue.”

Unconfirmed reports had it that there were disagreements on the choice of venue between Abuja and Lagos, and the party even recently chose Benin as a neutral ground for the election.

Atiku; Muhammadu Buhari, former head of state; Sam Nda Isaiah, the publisher of Leadership newspaper; Richas Okorocha, governor of Imo and Kwankwoso are the aspirants.

ComputersRe: Laptop Battery Not Charging Up To 100% by Descartes:
Harmilly:
the battery is faulty
The battery is not faulty.
If it were faulty it won't be charged up to 80%, also it may discharge very fast if removed from the wall socket. (within some seconds)
I have a PC with similar issue. specifically an update must have been unintentionally carried out with the Op not knowing.

Such update requires that your PC be charged to the maximum of 80% for enhancement of the life span of the battery.

@Op, your system will still be charged up to 100% if you allowed the system to trip off by it self when all the battery cells must have been discharged to 0%

PhonesRe: Awesome Facts You Should Know About ANDROID {pics} by Descartes: 7:57pm On Dec 02, 2014
shorlington:
Android is a one word for gadget-
awesomeness. It transforms a smartphone
into a power gadget. Here we are with some of
the obscure android facts that you have not
heard of yet.

1. What Android Means?
Whenever you hear about Android, you could tell it’s the Smartphone OS from Google. And Further? Well Android isn’t a new term, it seems to have originated a few hundred years ago. It was thought to be a robot that gave answers to your queries (Now it really does). To be specific, it was “a humanoid robot”. Android also appeared on many gaming consoles and Movies during the 80’s.


2. Google Did Not Start Android

Andy Rubin – The Man Behind Android
Though Google stays to be the prime reason for Android’s tremendous success, it wasn’t made by Google. Android Inc. was a separate company shaped by Andy Rubin in the US. Google bought Android in 2005 that led to the revolutionary operating system, combining the power of web and mobile into one system.

Google’s decision to make Android open source was one of the best things that they could do. Although Andy Rubin remained the head of Android in Google for a while, he moved on while the other Google officials took over his role.

3. HTC Made the First Ever Android Device
HTC Dream (Also known as the HTC G1) – The First Ever Android Smartphone
If you thought Nexus One was the first smartphone to run Android, you are off beam. The First ever smartphone to run Android was HTC G1 (also called HTC Dream). It was running the Android 1.6 (Donut) version. It came with a 3.2 inch capacitive screen, and a slider QWERTY keyboard. Anyhow it was a breakthrough and this was where the revolution began.

4. Not Just Smartphones – Wearable Glasses to Watches
Android expands its territory to Wearable devices and consumer electronics now. It is no more restricted to smartphones. The Google Glass is an augmented reality device which runs on the Android Ice-cream Sandwich OS. It enables you to take photos while you are busy on something, view notifications and sync everything online, the Google way.

Some months ago, Samsung came up with the Galaxy Camera, a Digital camera running the Android Jelly Bean OS. Although not totally received by the Android fans, it was a delight for amateur photographers to take and edit pics in one go.

It seems this is the time for smart watches. The Galaxy Gear and Qualcomm’s TOQ are a few examples. The Gear runs a modified Android operating system and comes with features like a camera with video recording, a handful of sensors and a tiny yet beautiful screen. Android’s intervention into Smart watches and Smart televisions will bring changes to the way we work with gadgets!

5. Totally Free and Open Source
What makes Android spaced out from Windows phone and iOS is the fact that it’s free. Android is [simply put] totally open. You can see what’s running behind the system, edit the source code and maybe create your own flavour of it [If you are up to it]. The AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is released by Google under Apache License which allows distribution and modification of the same, no strings attached.

6. So Far the Most Used Smartphone OS
Android OS happens to be the top Smartphone platform so far. With One Billion+ device activations, no rivals have hit this mark. Although Windows phone and iOS have tried many rivalry tactics from “hackathons” to free development tools for apps (Windows Phone) , nothing seems working so far. Android’s open nature and ease of app development led to their great milestone of hitting one billion activations.

7. Google Play – Formerly Android Market
The Google Play Store was earlier known as Android Market. You should be knowing this if you were an Android user since 2012. Many criticisms arose when Google renamed it to the Play Store but all of them subsided with time.

Google play is not just an App store mow. You can purchase books, movies and music and obviously apps using it. Either you can use the Google wallet service or a credit card for payment. The store now contains more than one million (12,00,000+) applications, which is growing each day. Although Apple claims to have crossed one million apps in its store, nothing comes close when the number of app downloads are matched.

8. Android’s Rivals – Apple’s iOS and Windows Phone
The two rivals of Android OS are windows phone OS and Apple iOS. Though windows app store seems to be a novel rivalry attempt, iOS is not too far behind. Since Android is free while the others are not, there is more adoption. You get the choice to customize the user interface to a great level along with the ability to add custom (third party) launchers.

9. “Sweet” Naming Convention
Android follows a “sweet” naming convention. The latest version (as of this writing) – Android 4.4.2 KitKat takes its name from the delicious wafer chocolate – KitKat. Perhaps Google would have thought that “KitKat” or “Ginger Bread” sounds better than mere numbers like 2.3 or 4.4. It is also interesting to note that after the first two versions, android naming follows an alphabetical order, how “sweet”!


10. Free Development Tools with Enormous Support
Want to develop an Android app? Well, the tools are freely available. Android has a very good documentation at developer.android.com. You can download the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) today to get started. One of the besetting thing about iOS app development is that you need to have an iPhone or iPad to test your app. Plus you have to pay for the coding tools like the XCode. Developers around the world support Android and forums like xda-developers and Github provide enormous resources.

OLADD:
[color=#006600][/color]

The Prof is increasingly becoming more foolish and clownish these days probably as a result of old age That was how he pushed MKO Abiola to his death through unguided utterances thinking he can speak English more than the British. In his usual empty-barrel characteristic this man vowed to make Nigeria ungovernable if Abiola died in detention. Abiola indeed died but our saintly Prof could not do jack! No doubt, Soyinka is living in his past glory. Sowing seed of discord and pitching the masses against the authority while criticising any sitting govt is unbecoming of his personality. Why is he closing his eyes from the atrocity of a sitting speaker who brazenly stepped the law on the face by attempting to make the minority rule over the majority in the legislative House? Did Soyinka see any aberration in our lawmakers scaling the fence of the National Assembly in an apparent show of ignominy? Has the Prof ever criticised the opposition for the series of provocative and crisis-breeding statements emanating from their camps on daily basis? Is the Prof living in a different world by pretending not to see glaring imperialism and oppressions taking place in the opposition controlled States? When Oshiomole asked a widow "to go and die", was he in the country? When Fashola forcefully displaced the Makoko people from a place they had lived for more than 100 years with little or no compensation, was Soyinka dead at that time? When many opposition members were sent to their premature grave in Ekiti in the buildup to the guber election, did the Prof cry fowl? The world was too swift in giving Prof Soyinka a novel Laurette.
