So faan expect us to believe that people woke up and started encoraching on their lands. No, someone in faan sold the lands to them because he felt the land is too large and is wasting away. It is the case with govt properties situated on very large expanse of land. Some md or ceo comes, sells the land, give receipts and down the line they start shouting encorachment.

let me educate you on how these things work in Lagos State. I have got experiences with buying lands. All land in Lagos were owned by different families. However, government has surveyed all the lands and they are planned. Government inform the families(omo onile) about which parts of their lands have been acquired for certain development( such as hospitals, schools, parks, airports, police stations, offices, major roads etc). Government leave the rest for them. These plans are given to the families and of course the government own copies too which the general populace are privy to.

Now, what happens most times is that, the families who are most times greedy, after selling their lands, move to selling of government lands as well. Especially lands that its purposes are not yet defined by government. They know their limits but for greed, they won't.

People who buy lands too can go verify from the government. And no government agency will advise you to buy such lands. The little twists is that, just as over 200 houses were spared according to the FAAN report, most times once people start building on such lands and the number of houses are quite numerous, government will call them for regularisation in order to let it go. Government won't want to demolish too many houses just to build offices or a recreation centre. This is why there are no enough recreation centres in Nigeria.

Because the people know this, they ignore whatever the outcome of their verification might be, defile such warnings and go ahead to build. What people now do is to negotiate for cheaper prices since the land is not free of encumbrances. But sometimes, just in this case, government won't be able to look away citing risks and potential hazards as reasons.

These ones are not ready to fight.
They should end the damn war abeg

What you see when seeing "dirty" brown phone case that was formally transparent is not actually dirt, you idiot. Haha

It's just the material used in making it. It eventually gets that way. Barely using you phone in daylight causes that coloration (the case absorbs UV light).

I'm not saying our phones are the cleanest stuff, but as a scientist, I'll need a swab from both your toilet seat, and phone to investigate the amount, and most importantly, the types of bacteria on them.

From our head to toes, both internally and externally are full of microorganisms. Most of the microorganisms are good ones and help us remain alive. Normally, you'll find them plenty in your kitchen, pot, food, etc. You'll also find then in your toilet, etc. It's most likely not going to be a big deal if micros from your phone get into your stomach, but if the ones in your toilet, for example, get into your system, e go be wahala.

We romance our phones daily, go and be romancing any public toilet seat daily and see how it goes
Let's be guided please

People will just wake up one day and compose nonsense to be digested by the gullible

CaptainFM1:
Your last sentence in the bracket is only correct if it is Fresh water i.e Relative density of 1.000. Otherwise, 2mls will not always equate 2g.

Also, it's a whole new game when temperature and pressure comes into it.

The density of the waters are very important. We don't know if the water is Fresh water, Salt water, Dock water etc. The more impurities the water contains, the denser it becomes.

Since we don't have a range of scientific parameters, for me it is not possible to decide which glass has more water unless you are physically present to conduct a proven scientific examination.

Making a decision from picture image is like a doctor issuing synopsis without seeing the patient for diagnosis.

You are very correct. Density of the fluid, which is a factor in determining it's mass and/or volume, has everything to do with the impurity of the liquid. But on a norm, we assume water is free of impurities unless told otherwise hence, my assertion.

I also did not completely agree with the answer as the weight of an object can't be determined by just looking at it. One can't say because it's bigger, then it's of bigger weight. I only tried schooling the PatrickOkunima who knows a law but didn't attend the laboratory when it's application was being taught. Imagine him saying one can't convert mass to volume. He could as well be an art student who Google is helping to participate in an argument so as to feel important.

Even the video he dropped, he doesn't understand it.

PatrickOkunima:
Please revisit your physics text. I'm tired of explaining this simple concept to you guys.

So you don't know you can convert weight to volume.
That's where you are confused.
If it states that mass will be displaced, you can get it's equivalence in volume(liquid).

PatrickOkunima:
What you wrote there is not Archimedes principle. According to Archimede's principles, when an object is immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas), it experiences a loss in weight equal to the mass of the liquid displaced.

Lol, you only know the law but you don't know it's application.

That's simply Archimedes.
An object will displace water of its own weight. This means if the weight of the object is 2g, 2g which also equals to 2mls of water, will be displaced. (i.e the water level will rise by 2mls when a 2g object is dropped in it)

He has sacrificed her to become Senate president. Unfortunately Tinubu wouldn't give it to him.

This I have seen.

I like you and your niche of cruise, but no be everything we suppose dey take catch cruise.

Tobijays:
the tuition fee medical students pay can’t pay the salaries of those lecturing them! What tax do ther parents pay to justify the the machineries and equipment? How many of them have TIN card. Private universities in Nigeria that ther standard don’t equate UK’s own pay an average 3mil per session studying medicine yet ther system is almost same as public institutions! Nigeria’s government major earnings comes from oil! Which means Nigeria’s earnings from the educational sector can’t pay for its educational sector. Nigeria should privatize education outrightly and focus or Agriculture, Power, Health and economic mineral resources.

I can't pay that much for the junk taught in private universities. If the government must increase the fee, they must increase the standard.
And you must also consider what the minimum wage, set by this same government is, in comparison to that of the UK.

So if you can't pay your citizens well, you can't tax them high.
It's simply a situation of you can't take what you aren't giving.

The truth is most people who train doctors are doctors who work in the teaching hospital. The government pays them as health professionals then add meagre sum as teaching allowances.

Bro, let government invest heavily in education and health care, doctors won't even think of leaving; at least, not emass.

If they increase the fee to UK standard, everyone will go overseas for training rather than getting trained in Nigeria.

Tobijays:
To study Medicine in UK non of them can’t! After paying cheap tuition, take advantage of the system they now travel overseas to get same pay as those that paid thousands of pounds to study medicine. Nigeria pays those that lectured them all for nothing! Nigeria must wake up

Do you know what the learning condition in medical school in Nigeria is, in comparison to that of the UK?

Do you know what the hostel facilities look like? Do you know what the machineries and medical equipments provided for learning in Nigeria look like as compared to the UK? Do you know how harsh the medical school environment is in Nigeria.
Do you know the firsthand medical and pharmaceutical innovations the UK medical students are exposed to?
Can you compare what lecturers earn in the UK to what is earned in Nigeria?
But, you expect the school fees to be the same?
Nigeria doctors get to retrain themselves to meet such standard at graduation before they can emigrate.

What Nigerian doctors pay as tuition commensurate with the learning condition, same as UK trained doctors and their tuition fees.

Most Nigerian polytechnics are pure waste of resources which end up conferring unacceptable degrees internationally. Even locally, the degrees are discriminated upon.

Most UK and USA polys have been converted to universities. I saw a university in UK and in terms of structures, it's not half of what small polytechnics in Nigeria have.

They should work on equipping them, especially to research standards and covert them to universities.

I bought a tablet with an attachable keyboard from a guy in computer village in 2015, for 60k London used. It was the best price as I went round the market.

I went back in about 2 weeks to sell back because I felt no serious need for it. It was just always in my wardrobe. No faults, no scratches. After examining the system, the same guy offered me 20k. I felt like beating him.

He said he was offering me the best no one would. I left angrily, took it to different stores and the rest of them said 15k. Like they knew I was coming and had a meeting prior to my arrival.

It states that once debe forever debe

Litmus:
Ideally, the situation in Nigeria that some of you attribute as contributing to doctors leaving Nigeria, should be that which not only keeps Nigeria Doctors in Nigeria but attract doctors from other Nations. This is since, ideally, Doctors should be running towards porverty not running from it.

what part of the medical code of conduct says that? Somewhat like the rich deserves less of medical attention. This mentality of yours lacks balanced diet.

Litmus:
Well, the Nigeria Doctors are lured by the UK because thire own UK Doctors are being lured by US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand offering better pay and work life balance.

Therefore perhaps the issue is the morality of doctors putting personal issues such as relative pay levels before patients wellbeing.....

So the wellbeing of the doctor doesn't matter to you, just that of the patient? Hyp....e!

Last last, ISWAP will help Nigerian government defeat bokoharam

If it deserves to see, let it see

Manny21:
Whose head will now be on pounds sterling. Make I quick go change my £5 before den go condemn am say King Charles head no dey am

The currencies will be withdrawn gradually and the king's picture in the new. A new national anthem too will be composed "saving the king" lol.

Johnrake69:
He should have just called 911. This was a careless death. Your life is more important than your car

I don't like it when people talk this way.
This is normal reasoning. If you packed your car and you see someone trying to burgle it, your first instinct as human is to first go near them and stop the process. A delay of one second can make them successful.
And he wouldn't even know or think they were armed.
Most car burglars are petty thieves. I'm sure you will try scaring them off with your presence too as the first measure.

He was simply unlucky.
It's terrible and sad

yorubarere:
Likely the target. She broke their records

She shouldn't be otherwise the news would have come from the oyinbos directly. It would have been leaked into their press as it will be a sensational news.
Secondly, the 400m relay won't be the only medal mentioned as threatened, as she has another 100m gold medal personally to her name in the commonwealth game.
From simple logic, it's one of the other girls.

I'm also applying on behalf of my client

Hilarious!
Laugh wan Kee me
You are truly a very wicked man

SporaD8:
That was a most stupid thing to do! impersonating a cultist when you ain't one is like standing at the middle of a hot battleground and declaring neutral!
You'll just add as extra point to whichever party got you first!
Please be warned!!!

You should learn how to control yourself and not insult people before driving home your points. It's a great asset!

This day two years ago, I was suturing a lacerated skin of a patient when conversations concerning cultism began in the emergency room.
My male nurse's attempts at pretending to be a member was immediately flawed by the poor use of the cultists parlance.

The patient on the other hand didn't say much but the flow and his choice of words made it obvious he knew much.

Disappointed at the poor flow of my nurse and an attempt to rescue us from total defeat, I decided to join in the "cruise". As a young man who grew up in a neighborhood predominantly dominated by cultists, I had automatically learnt certain slangs peculiar to cultists.

The once calm patient suddenly wore a fierce look, looked at me straight in the eyeballs and inquired with a voice seeking immediate affirmation " Doctor, you bam seven?". Meaning did you get initiated into the Aye/ blackaxe confraternity?

Omo, cold catch me as I understood the weight of the question and the possible sequel. In instant rebuttal, I said " No oOoOO, I bam medicine and surgery"

I only pitt the next president.
No matter how good and hardworking, nothing will reflect.
But getting the right person there first is also seeming impossible.
So there's high chance that inflation rate will hit over 20perc in the next administration.

Chudycharles:
Just send it Asap... Which visa category??....

We should be mindful of this especially those using supported service.. I almost forgot mine too.. I just did a double check...

It's skilled worker visa.
I suspected the guy was going to make a mistake because he was working like he needed to clear the crowd on time. And there was no sense of carefulness and thoroughness.

Now, this is making me terribly scared.

giselle237:
application reference is UAN or GWF number. Your visa decision will be stalled until they get the requested document.

Thanks I'm sending it right away.
I don't know how it was omitted by TLS contact staff.

I just got the attached mail from Decision making office.
Biometric was May 24
1. Please what's my application reference number
2. Will this result in delay in the process?

Iruosonobrugwhe:
certificate

Thanks

Good evening house
Please for the police character certificate, do I need to upload the pages which contain the finger prints or just the certificate?

When I bought my first car, it took me time before I stopped trying to go in through the passenger's door.

Hello house, I need a quick response on this.
Can one go for biometric 2 days before appointment if it's through flexi appointment?

Let's imagine for a second what APC will say during campaign if Jonathan is made the flag bearer? Well, Lai Mohamed is still alive

PS
it's exactly a decade I officially registered on nairaland, it's been a beautiful experience and one of the best decisions I ever made.

Though I'm not much of a commenter yet in my sideline, I have followed closely and I have been positively impacted. I have grown and evolved into a better being

I want to say a very big thank you to Seun for the conceptualization of this wonderful platform, the moderators who make things work out perfectly and the ever vibrant members who without them, this forum would be another failed app project.
