In the currency market, exchange rates are often centered on the health of a country’s economy. When the economy of a country is strong, its currency is also strong in the foreign exchange market. When the economy appears to be weak, its currency loses value in the currency exchange rate. Nigeria’s dependent on oil, so when oil prices are weak, so our currency loses value in the foreign exchange market.

A dog can reason better than you do. It clearly shows the kind of low life you live.

Were you physically or mentally blind to the point where I said it was obviously meant for someone else. For Heavens sake what sort of goats are graduating from Nigerian schools this days that they find it hard to read and comprehend before commenting.

All your ranting is even incoherent to say the least. Even an office assistance knows not all companies request certificate at interview cos you're not guaranteed of passing the interview.

And for your information slowpoke what you see up there is not an appointment letter but an offer letter which is subject to approval from the person the mail was originally meant for, upon the provision of the listed documents. After which the person is sent to the training school.

jomoh:
This email is meant for someone else cos there's nowhere in the mail where it suggest payment will be requested.

Also the email is customised for the site and not from a public or created mail address.

Try and get their real email address or other contact from their site and contact them. They probably sent the mail to you in error.

You could be saving someones life/job.

In a statement by the website, voters submitted stories as they relate to unfortunate airport experiences across the continent.

“From dirty floors and bathrooms to the regular request for bribes, travellers were unimpressed with the airports that made it onto this year’s worst airports in Africa list.

“Other complaints revolved around a lack of air conditioning in sweltering climates, general navigational chaos, limited yet expensive restaurant options and questionably effective security processes.

“While travelling through these airports, most people prefer to skip the airport sleeping experience altogether and splurge on a nearby airport hotel instead. These airports task patience of travellers,” the report stated.

Lol which NASS members? Abeg no make me laugh. If Tambuwal wants to test ife he still has powers let he try summoning the IGP and see if he will honour him.

After the piña coladas are drunk and the dancing is done, what do you do with 50 billion coconut husks left over? If you are extremely innovative and ecologically conscientious, you work to find a practical use for the waste. That is exactly what Texas-based Essentium Materials LLC did in a feat of agricultural engineering, turning coconut coir into parts for the 2012 Ford Focus Electric car.

With the concept of “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” the Essentium group received a grant of $1,018,475 from the National Science Foundation to support their “waste to resource” R& and mission of “building the next generation of essential materials.” But included in that global mission is to enhance local economies and reduce the use of synthetic materials in manufacturing.

The company developed a composite material of coconut shells and husk fibers mixed with recycled plastics. By incorporating bio-material from waste into the composite, they estimate reduction in petroleum use will be 2-4 million barrels and of CO2 emissions, 450,000 tons less put into the air annually.

The business originated from a graduate school idea to create economic opportunities for developing nations. Recognizing that coconut waste was the most common material available, the team sought to examine its properties and test its viability for products to be sold in North America.

Unlike many other bio-combination processes such as ethanol, no food or tree crop is grown exclusively for the production, because the coconut water and meat inside is used as usual and only the environmentally problematic waste of the shell is used in the composite materials. And don’t think this use of coconut fibers and recycled plastics compromises the quality of end products. To the contrary, the fibers have unique properties that actually work to make molded plastics stronger and lighter, an ideal quality for automotive applications. The high lignin content gives the coconut fibers an added antimicrobial benefit.

The process implemented for collecting the source materials is to work with community development organizations so that local workers prepare the raw fibers which are then shipped to the US for further processing, combining, and fashioning into molded vehicle parts. The line is expanding to include garden mat products and even household items, with new ideas developing rapidly.

One of the company engineers, Elisa Teipel, sums up the philosophy, “Ultimately, our company is about transforming waste in order to transform people’s lives. We want our engineering decisions to improve people’s lives and make the world a better place.”

I’ll drink to that! Pass the lime and coconut, please.

They use democracy as a gimmick to install their proxy heads even when it is obvious they don't even practise true democracy.

The likes of tinubu is a good example of a political hitman. Obasanjo, MKO and IBB are also part of their motely crew.

What they do is they get a stooge who will emerge through their own doing be it via a coup or through the ballot. They will look the other way if this stooge is corrupt or brutal as long as he does what they are told.

The stooge is also required to put his stolen wealth in specified banks of their choice. When the stooge dies the wealth becomes the CIA's.
MKO was supposedly very wealth but after his death his wealth vaporized. Today kola abiola is a mere landlord overseeing his father's real estate.
This is why tinubu is allowed to go and come as he wishes but when he kicks the bucket all those stolen wealth he has stashed abroad is transfered to another secret account held by the CIA which they use to fund clandestine operations world wide

IPOH, Malaysia (AP) — It was the last round of a recurring argument: M. Indira Gandhi's husband wanted her to convert to Islam. A committed Hindu, she refused.

He threatened divorce. Both started shouting. Neighbors came looking. Suddenly, he snatched their 11-month-old daughter from the arms of an older child, tucked her under one arm and sped off on his motorbike.

That was more than five years ago. Gandhi hasn't seen her child since, even though a Malaysian civil court awarded her custody.

Her husband — who converted to Islam shortly before taking his daughter away — won custody in an Islamic court. Because Gandhi is not a Muslim, she was not even called to appear. Police have been unwilling to enforce the civil court's decision.

"I am pining to see my daughter. No mother should ever have to endure this pain," said Gandhi, a kindergarten teacher, in her small rented home in Ipoh city in Perak state, about 200 kilometers (124 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, the capital. "Give us a chance. We are all Malaysians. We should have equal rights."

Gandhi's case and others highlight perils of Malaysia's divided legal system, where majority Muslims use Shariah courts for religious and family issues such as conversion, divorce and death. The other 40 percent of the country — mainly Christians, Buddhists and Hindus — use a secular legal system inherited from the Southeast Asian country's British colonial rulers.

Critics accuse the ethnic Malay Muslim-dominated government of doing too little to resolve problems when those legal systems collide. The government has become increasingly reliant on support from Islamist and right-wing pressure groups as other constituencies flock to the opposition.

M. Kulasegaran, an opposition lawmaker who is also Gandhi's lawyer, said there are many similar cases, including several he plans to file once Gandhi's case is resolved. Some earlier cases have turned out even worse for non-Muslims than Gandhi's case has so far: In 2007, the top civil court ruled that a Muslim spouse had the right to convert his children without the mother's consent.

Some lawyers and legal experts say spouses in especially bitter custody battles sometimes convert to Islam to gain an upper hand. A Muslim with a non-Muslim spouse who seeks custody from the Shariah court is almost certain to win because the spouse has no standing.

The government has long pledged to tackle legal ambiguities related to religious conversions. But a Cabinet decision in 2009 to allow minors to be converted only with both parents' consent has yet to be made legally binding.

In southern Negeri Sembilan state, Deepa Subramaniam's Hindu husband quietly embraced Islam in 2012 and formally converted both their children without her consent. He was then granted custody of the children by a Shariah court. Deepa turned to the civil court, which annulled her marriage on grounds of domestic violence and granted her custody of the children. Two days later, her ex-husband abducted their 5-year-old son.

National police chief Khalid Abu Bakar has refused to act on court orders to return either Deepa's son or Gandhi's daughter to their mothers. He has been cited for contempt but is waiting for a higher civil court to weigh in.

He was quoted as saying by local media that police were "sandwiched" between legal systems and proposed that children caught in custody tussles be placed in welfare homes. Khalid did not return text messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The abduction of Gandhi's daughter, Prasana Diksa, came days before her first birthday. Her mother had bought her a Minnie Mouse blouse and jeans, and had planned to take her to the temple for ear piercing, a traditional Hindu practice when a child turns 1.

Gandhi repeatedly called her husband and begged him to return Diksa, who was still on breast milk, in the hours and days after she was taken. Her husband, an odd-job worker now called Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, initially told her again to convert to Islam, then stopped replying to any of her requests.

Gandhi found out that he had officially converted to Islam when she went to a police station to report the abduction. There she learned that he had also changed the birth certificates of the couples' other two children to state they were Muslims. Fearing that Islamic authorities may seize them as well, Gandhi went into hiding.

The Shariah court granted Riduan temporary custody of all three children days after he abducted Diksa, and granted him permanent custody a few months later. No grounds were given by the Islamic court. In Perak and some other states, Shariah allows one parent to convert children to Islam without the consent of the other.

Gandhi turned to the civil court, which in 2010 awarded her custody of all three children and ruled that the Shariah court had exceeded its jurisdiction.

Last year, a civil court quashed the children's conversion to Islam in a landmark ruling. Civil courts had in the past said they had no jurisdiction in such cases.

Riduan appealed the civil court's custody decision but lost. His appeal of the ruling on his children's conversions has yet to be heard.

In May this year, the court ordered police to arrest Riduan for contempt of court and return Diksa, now 6, to her mother. Yet with police refusing to act, she is no closer to her daughter. The case continues to go through the civil court system, where it may take years to resolve.

Riduan declined to speak to a reporter. His lawyer, Anas Fauzi, said in an email that Riduan refused to comply with the civil court ruling because he was bound by the Shariah order.

Prime Minister Najib Razak has urged parents to resolve their disputes in the Federal Court, the nation's highest civil court, but has not condemned the abductions. An aide to Najib declined to comment further on the cases.

Many Islamic clerics view the prospect of a Muslim child being brought up in a non-Muslim household as unacceptable.

Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman, who heads the Islamic right-wing group Isma, defended the Shariah courts' actions, saying the Muslim fathers are in a better position to raise the children as Muslims. He said the law should be changed to allow Shariah courts to hear petitions from non-Muslims, and added that "its decision must be final."

But Muhammad Asri Zainal Abidin, an Islamic scholar and a former state mufti, said children caught in such custody battles should be able to live with non-Muslim mothers as long as they care for them well.

"There is no compulsion in Islam. Nobody can force others to embrace a religion, not even their parents. Leave the matter to the children to decide when they are old enough," he said.

Diksa, now called Ummu Habibah Muhammad Riduan, lives with her father in a Muslim community in northeastern Kelantan state. His lawyer, Anas, said she has adjusted well and that "both the father and the daughter receive moral and physical support from the local society."

Riduan does not provide financial support for his other two children, now 16 and 17, who have remained with Gandhi throughout the dispute. Anas said that since his client converted, "the conditions and the circumstances do not even allow both disputed parties to have any relationship."

Gandhi did, however, finally receive recent pictures of her youngest child this year. In one, a smiling Diksa is clad in a black Islamic headscarf, posing with her father.

Every day, at an altar in her home, Gandhi lights a candle for Diksa and prays that she comes home.

"Whether she is a Muslim or not, it doesn't matter," she said. "She is still my daughter. All I want is to hold and embrace her. I have missed many precious moments with her. I will fight until I get my child back."
