Politics › Re: Nigerian Ambassador Blasts US Refusal To Sell Arms by dustydee: 9:52am On Nov 12, 2014
The same US sells weapons to oppressive regimes like Saudi Arabia. I am with Nigeria on this one.

But Mr Ambassador, truth be told, our military does not know what human rights is all about given the way they treat the ordinary man on the street.

The one made in Nigeria can be bought 5 for £1 in a few shops and 4 for £ in others. Tge whole box of 40 is being sold for 6 £6.99.
Chai! the Naija man here sells 1 for 40p. I don't think he sells carton. That must be London I guess?

Career › Re: Between Master's Degree And Professional Course by dustydee: 3:06pm On Nov 07, 2014
Feex:
With a BSc in industrial chemistry, you can definitely go for a postgraduate degree in chemical engineering. Many chemists follow that route.
Just make sure you graduate with good grades.
I know someone who went straight from Chemistry to Chemical Engineering and currently doing his PhD (not sure if it is still in Chem Eng).
In the UK you can only proceed to your masters if you meet the minimum requirement for MSc after your course work otherwise you get a PGD or Certificate. Those registered for PGD can choose to proceed to a masters (which is just the Thesis) if they do well.

c.eng as in?
Chartered engineer, equivalent to COREN registration.
Career › Re: Between Master's Degree And Professional Course by dustydee: 2:26pm On Nov 07, 2014
For Engineering courses, a masters degree is a plus. In the UK for example, most Oil and Gas Engineering companies prefer to employ masters' degree holders because they are likely to get their professional registration faster than BSc holders. Also most Engineering students here do their MEng direct before leaving school.
Also, masters' level think is different from BSc. I didn't realise this until I went for my masters'.
I have also seen job adverts in Nigeria for 2.1 BSc holders or 2.2+ a masters' degree.

My company values an MSc much more than any other professional qualification for Engineers (apart from C.Eng).

Bravo! Well articulated and I like your line of reasoning. I however do not agree with your points as I see (and take) your points from a different perspective which time will not permit me to state here (apologies, given that you took time to lay your arguments).
Politics › Re: History Of Nigerian Presidents & Their Religious Beliefs by dustydee: 3:56pm On Nov 04, 2014
What about Pagans? When will they get their chance to lead? Since some people said we should give the "minorities" a chance, should we consider them too since they are in the "minority"? Just my thought. . .
Personally I think religion should be left out of this even though I know some Muslims and Christians will object.

Well, there is still a sitting speaker so no vacancy.

Politics › Re: Nasarawa Youth Attack Maku, Ewuga, Others, Burn Car by dustydee: 3:31pm On Oct 27, 2014
Anasko:
A former Information Minister,
Labaran Maku, and a senator, Solomon Ewuga, escaped unhurt as angry youth stormed the palace of Bala Angbazo, the paramount ruler of the Eggon people, on Sunday evening. The traditional ruler was hosting a reconciliatory meeting between three Eggon sons seeking to be nasarawa governor under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The youth, who trooped to the palace in their hundreds, set ablaze a Toyota Corolla belonging to Chris
Mamman, the immediate past National President of Eggon Cultural Association, ECD. Messrs Mamman, Maku, and Ewuga are all PDP governorship aspirants.

The meeting was being held to choose one a consensus from among the three Eggon aspirants.
Mr. Maku, who was attending the meeting for the first time, escaped unhurt before Messrs Ewuga and Mamman. The two men were rescued
by military officers who came to the scene in three Hilux vans to forestall further destruction of property as the youth had blocked the Mr. Ewuga’s entourage and prevented them from going out of the palace.
Ibrahim Audu, a resident of Nasarawa Eggon, said the youth were angry with Mr. Mamman’s decision to contest the election.
When contacted, the Nasarawa Police spokesperson, Umar Numan, confirmed the attack and that Mr.
Mamman’s car was burnt. He said calm had returned to the area and no arrest has been made.

NYSC › Re: FG Allocates N500 Daily Feeding Allowance For Corp Members by dustydee: 3:46pm On Oct 23, 2014
Amongst other things revealed, was the N800 million required to enhance the computer registration system in NYSC. The DG also said, the funds would be used to service a “private sector” who would be responsible for the entire online processes as well as installation of registration equipment at all NYSC offices nationwide.
Haba! N800m ($5m)? For online portal? This to me is ridiculous. Why do people derive joy in milking Nigerians?

True talk? please show me where Buhari said he took a loan and how much loan he took . . . or you are a liar.

iriferi:
The sign was provided by none other than Buhari himself. Since his one credential is that he is a man of integrity who, as president, is
expected to wrestle corruption down to the ground, Buhari decided to burnish his anti-corruption image by revealing that he obtained his
27.5 million naira APC nomination form with a bank loan.
I listened to Buhari's comment and he never mentioned that he took any loan. He said he called his bank manager and asked him to honour any cheque from him irrespective of his account balance.
If he took a loan, how much loan did he take? Even if you don't like someone, at least you can speak the truth and say only what you know.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Does Our Society Frown At Adultery But Normalise Fornication by dustydee: 8:58pm On Oct 20, 2014
bigass:
When a married man or woman cheats most people will condemn it saying it's wrong to cheat also saying its ungodly and sin. However when two people are dating and are having sex nobody condemns it as sinful or wrong. If Christians/Muslims could accept pre marital sex a norm why then frown at extra marital as if one is a lesser sin. Is going against a marital vow of chastity more important than breaking God's laws.
Speak for yourself.
And if two adults are doing what is wrong, you either advise them to stop, pray for them or mind your business.

Politics › Re: President Obama Credit Card Declined At A New York City Restaurant by dustydee: 8:52am On Oct 18, 2014
President Barack Obama's credit card was declined at a restaurant in New York City last month, he said.

"It turned out I guess I don't use it enough," Mr Obama said. "They thought there was some fraud going on."

Fortunately, he said, First Lady Michelle Obama had a credit card on hand and paid for the meal.

Mr Obama told the story at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as he announced new protections for debit cards used to deliver federal benefits.

An estimated 100 million Americans have been affected by identity theft in the past year, including high-profile security breaches at retailers like Target and Home Depot.

"I was trying to explain to the waitress, you know, I really think that I've been paying my bills," Mr Obama said. "Even I'm affected by this."

The US president is paid $400,000 (£250,000) per year, as well as given a non-taxable $50,000 expense account.
The last sentence got me thinking about Nigeria.
Politics › Re: Buhari Took Bank Loan To Purchase APC Nomination Form by dustydee: 5:56pm On Oct 17, 2014
buruike:
Hello!
My main contention isn't about taking the loan or not.
Is about why so much an amount of money.
if you think beyond the means by which the money was secured-either own money or borrowed you ll reason that is only natural and a littl amount of time once he/ whoever gets the post before he recoup back what he's paid for the ticket.
This pushes them to deep more and more into the public purse and farther and farther away m staunch selfless(even if a little) public service that we all need.
Infact let me use your own words-as regard perhaps getting the funds from his supporters.
DON'T YOU THINK THE MORE HE SECURES FUNDS FROM SO CALLED PERSONAL AGENDALED (if i may use that)SUPPORTERS,THE MORE POCKETS HE HAS TO FILL IF HE EVENTUALLY GETS THERE.

Bickering not intended pls.So just saying I might not be inclined to counter-respond in future Inrrespective of what anyone deem to comment.
You have a point. I personally think the amount is too much.

As for others paying for him, they do that, and it is allowed, so as to be able to influence policies should the aspirant win. This happens in the west (I know of the US and UK) and also in Nigeria (Dangote, Pascal Dozie ) and many others are major financiers of the PDP. What would be wrong is to try to please these donors at the expense of the masses. And even if he pays from his pocket, he can recoup the money within a year without dipping his hands into the treasury (even though the president's annual salary is not up to N5m). The allowances that come with the office is enough to cater for someone who is not greedy and extravagant.


I admire your civility and your engaging in intellectual discourse.
Politics › Re: Buhari Took Bank Loan To Purchase APC Nomination Form by dustydee: 10:14am On Oct 17, 2014
I guess a lot of people have a problem with comprehension so let me break it down.
1. Buhari never mentioned that he took a loan.
2. He said he called his banker to inform him that the nomination forms were ready and if he gets a cheque from him, the cheque should be honoured whether he has sufficient funds or not (which apparently the banker agreed).

For those of you who said he took a loan, how much loan did he take?

In the end, I believe the entire N27.5m was not paid by him but by his supporters. (I reached this conclusion because I don't see any reason why he would sign his own cheque and hand it over to Timipre Silva to present to the National Secretary).

Let's learn to reason before we jump into conclusion(s).

Thank you.

No governor has claimed credit for containing Ebola but we all know who claimed or tried to claim credit for containing the disease before the record was put straight. I am glad the president got the message and has corrected the impression his spin doctors tried to force down our throats.
