Easyjay:
locals?.. I don't think.. Thats baban chinedu and Rarara that sang the famous sai baba (masu gudu su gudu) election song

Is that chinedu an Igbo name or it has another meaning in the North?

This is one of the best things to make front page recently.

I doubt this idea was originally created by Nigerians though. I believe I have seen something similar in a documentary some yrs back.

- very good for hot weather environments.
- cheap to build (raw materials, mud and plastics are littered everywhere).
- yes, bullet proof against light weight weapons. The mud in the bottles are compressed unlike block walls that are usually hollow.

Have you ever felt like every mosquito within ten square miles comes buzzing straight for you as soon as you step outside? We are often asked why mosquitoes prefer some humans over others. Well, it all comes down to how good you smell (or bad, depending on your perspective). Mosquitoes have very acute receptors in their antennae and heads that can detect human scents up to 100 feet away. Scents are one of the primary indicators mosquitoes use to identify their prey. It’s actually only female mosquitoes bite. The females need the protein found in blood to produce their eggs. Some species have a preference for human blood like the Anopheles gambiae, which can carry and spread Malaria. Other species prefer bird blood, but most of them will accept any blood they can find. And we humans are big, slow and smelly targets that are easy to find. Here are the top 5 human scents that attract mosquitoes and tips for minimizing your scent to these blood-thirsty pests. 5 human scents that attract mosquitoes
• Carbon dioxide – mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale, both the scent and the amount. There are many sources of CO2 in nature, so it isn’t just the carbon dioxide that attracts mosquitoes. Every time we exhale, we release chemicals like lactic acid, octenol, uric acid and fatty acids that combine with CO2 to form our own unique carbon dioxide cocktail. This combination of scents is what clues mosquitoes that there is a human target nearby. And some of these particular combinations are more attractive to mosquitoes. Additionally, the more CO2 we emit, the easier we are to recognize. The scent and amount of carbon dioxide you exhale is unique to you and your genetics, and unfortunately there isn’t much you can do to change your attractiveness other than mask your scent. Larger people exhale more CO2, which is why adults are more likely to be bitten than children. Pregnant women also exhale above average amounts and are therefore more attractive to mosquitoes.
• Body odor – Bacterial colonies combined with sweat generate that sweet (if you’re a mosquito) human scent we call body odor. Without the bacteria, our sweat would be odorless; with the bacteria, our sweat is one of the more attractive scents for mosquitoes, particularly the malaria- carrying Anopheles gambiae, which prefers to bite humans. There are measures you can take like washing regularly to reduce body odor; however be careful of fragrant perfumes and scents that can also draw mosquitoes. Fresh sweat is not as attractive because it has not combined with bacteria.
• Secretions – About 80% of us are “secretors” or people who secrete compounds known as saccharides and antigens through their skin and indicate blood type. Mosquitoes are magnets for secretors. Once again, your classification as a secretor or non-secretor is determined by your biology and there isn’t anything you can do to put yourself in the non- secretor category.
• Blood type – Depending on the type of blood you have, you secrete different scents. Studies have shown that mosquitoes are most attracted to Type O blood and least attracted to Type A. No changing your blood type either.
• Lactic acid – Lactic acid is emitted through your skin when you are active or eating certain foods. Mosquitoes are more attracted to people with a greater build-up of lactic acid on their skin. You can reduce lactic acid by washing with soap after exercising and thoroughly drying. Scent is the primary indicator for mosquitoes that a human target is within striking distance. There are also other indicators like body heat, moisture, movement and color that attract mosquitoes’ highly attuned receptors. How to minimize your mosquito-attracting scents and repel mosquitoes Aside from washing regularly to reduce bacteria and lactic acid build-up from your skin, most of the human scents that attract mosquitoes are unique to us and unalterable. Now for the good news: You can mask your human scent and with insect repellents like.

Is there any latest info on this? Has anyone here been able to apply online? Went through the site www.lagossubeb.gov.ng, but I did not see anywhere indicating where one can apply, just news about the recruitment no form.

Pls help with latest update.

I quite agree with you either.

Will I have a competent but corrupt Stealer Oduah or Tafa Balogun or Alams at the expense of a competent but not corrupt Sanni?

I care less about region and ethnicity
Appointments will not benefit all of us individually and directly, but the dividend of appointing competent people will trickle down to all whether directly or indirectly.

The only way to kill ethnicity is to allow for fair participation of other different groups in designing a Nation's political and economic future. When the glory of victory is shared, it is shared amongst all. When all gain, none looses.

Whynotthetruth:
Buhari is refusing subsidy removal now because of sectional interest as against national interest... PMS will be costlier in the North as against South if subsidy goes today...Same also for refinery privatisation; his political interest as against national interest...

You would want PMS to be costlier in the North than in the South? That itself sounds sectional.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
....It will do APC administration good to continue with Goodluck Jonathan's policies until they can come up with their socialist blueprint and policies having jettisoned the manifesto that brought them to power. ...

Not a bad advice.

kenny987:
...I think it's time to make it a law that manifestoes of the winning party/govt after elections must be adhered to and reviewed periodically. Not just cosmetic government review but with samples of public opinion from every region because power resides with the people! Failure to meet with promises made amount to a breach and disqualifies such persons for re-election. Maybe then politicians will know that the social contract of governance is sacrosanct.

Word.

raumdeuter:
These hungry Afenifere people sef.

People who cant win elections on their street suddenly have an opinion on Yorubas

And you think this is about winning of election.

Notice how OPC and NURTW keep coming up in the robber's confessions.

obailala:
Kaiii.... Before we had very few propaganda outlets, now every iidiots just opens a blog and published their senselessness.

APC caused it. The last election was the death of sensible media in Nigeria. You sow cassava, you reap cassava.

These guys are obviously more interested in personal ego inflating laws than laws that will help grow this country.

“It is a democracy, if people
want a leader to continue, let
him continue,” he said.

The man knows what democracy by definition truly is. The problem now is the leader's interpretation of that statement as regards who "people" are or should I say is.

PentiumPro:
There should be consequences for voting wrongly and there should be reward for voting wisely.
Not doing that will be a disservice for those that made the right judgment.

The question is did those that made the right judgement make it for themselves alone or for the nation Nigeria as a whole.

Can u design artwork for. songs !!!

Do you mean something like this?

Nice try bro.

1. I would suggest you move the texts away from the edges some more to give it some form of structure.

2. The colors saturated-yellow and light brown do not work very well together on the same page, especially when they are the only colors there (no other color to compliment or at least distract the viewer's eyes from the bad combination). I suggest you research more on color theory, lots of tutorials online on that.

3. The main title text (I assume "the biafran soldier") should have the saturated color and not the sub text I.e the "Season 1". Saturated colors make your image/text jump out of the page and gives it some sense of emphasy. I believe you would want the viewer's eyes to see the main title first before any other thing (except the main image of course). Saturating it instead like I advised will go a long way in helping you achieve that.

Well, that's my humble contribution. I hope it helps. Kudos bro.

tsdarkside:
very good....

Thanks.

frankben4real:
opppppppppppppppp

Nice try bro, I would suggest you add some bit of lighter yellow to the part of the background (street, wall and car) closest to the heli to give it some more realism. Light as a habit of falling on almost everything around it and so the light from the rocket fire shouldn't be an exception.

willbob:
most of them. I was told good design require only two fonts.

Thanks for the observation bro. Note that what you where told was only a guide line and not a rule. If you can get them to work together, it is good to go.

willbob:
You use too much fonts in one design.

Which one bro?

willbob:
nice bro. but is criticism welcomed?

Constructive critics are very much welcomed bro.
