Apologies, I used a misleading source.

no wahala.

Gerrard59:
While you are correct, the VP is wrong. He said the north-east is larger than the UK plus Switzerland (283,780) or Denmark (285,426) or even combined at 326,711. However, the total land mass of the north-east states (Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Taraba, Bauchi and Adamawa) is 262,578.
You are even wrong with Borno's land mass, which is 57,799.

P.S. All sizes are in Km².

You are the one that is wrong.
I believe the word he used is "equivalent" and not "larger".
I stand by the Borno figure until you are able to prove otherwise. It is surely not 57799 as you stated.

True,
NorthEast = 272,395 km sq

UK = 242,495 km sq
Denmark = 42931 km sq
Switzerland = 41,285 km sq
Borno State alone = 70,898 kmsq almost twice the size of Switzerland

Have you informed your insurance company?

Na u need sense pass "is england nd usa an islamic nation'' u also ansa dis does england nd usa do islamic bond

I know England does, not sure about the USA.

The headline is misleading. The body of the message suggests that the shares were sold to the company allegedly owned by Okorocha.

rumours:
you have a point by saying "...criminalize it and bring it under control ". By history is still good. It helps us to know hypocrites and those who truly remorseful and repentant. Have you sensed those two words in the dealings of this government? Sincerely!

Again i ask, what is hate speech? and what did Buhari say that can be classified as hate speech. I am not defending him but I know that the media has not been fair to him for a long time.
For me, one of his greatest mistakes of recent is his failure to calm his supporters when the voilence started but I doubt he would have been able to prevent the clashes in the first place.

What did Buhari say in 2011 that you could classify as hate speech? You forgot to mention that in your writeup.
And if indeed he made hate speeches and people were killed because of that, is that not enough reason to criminalize it and bring in under control?

sarrki:
Atiku is pure undiluted Fulani from kojoli Ganye local government

His Wikipedia page says he is Fulani, I guess you were right.

sarrki:
Wailers are the Egyptians, they won't believe the Israelites are out of RECESSION until they perish in the Red Sea!!

Anything against pmb is welcome

Aisha alhassan and atiku are Fulani's

They are Muslims .

They just hate pmb due to fighting of corruption which they cherished and love passionately

Is Atiku Fulani? I thought he is Jukun.

Omeokachie:
Is this the N40 per litre they promised in the run-up to the elections?


Let them take it back to the N97 it was at when they came on board.

Who promised N40 per litre?

timil99:
Hello guys, I have a big problem, I just finished my national diploma last year, my dad is out of job and he recently sold his only car for me to travel cos I had a agent who said he will do it for me, I tried the express entry but am not eligible and all to no avail, I even tried taking nanny/caregiver jobs who are willing to process a LMIA but they all want a female. Now am stuck, junior ones looking up to me because believe me everything is hard after dad is out of job. I have my passport and 800k with me from d sold car and am willing to do any menial jobs just to carter for my family. I need help please@ martenal, Salford blackbuddy canadiary congo2 dupyshoo everyone ......
Your help and advice needed!

Guy, to be honest with you, you'd be better off investing that money in a business in Nigeria than using it to travel to Canada. The fact that you mentioned an agent and with that amount of money tells me you will soon lose all of it because it is not enough to make any meaningful progress with the processes. You can still make it in Nigeria if you start small and remain disciplined.

Mykel4God:
A student who received a staggering £850,000 (N392million) instead of her usual £85 monthly university food grant is in hot water after going on a massive 73 day spending spree with her pals.

According to Sun UK, the Accountancy student identified as Sibongile Mani, 27, who was on benefits to allow her to study was said to have undergone a Cinderella like transformation overnight after the cash blunder.

It was gathered that student leader Sibongile usually receives £85 each month in her bank account in food and book allowances at Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa before the sad error saw her account blow to a staggering N392 million.

But people started raising eyebrows when her neat corn-row hairstyle was replaced with £180-a-time Peruvian weaves and she began wearing designer outfits and bought a brand new i-phone 7.

She began flashing the cash kitting out her closest friends with new outfits and drinking £50-a-time bottles of whisky and jetting herself and her pals round the country to wild parties.

Suspicions grew when a till receipt from a local SPAR shop was leaked showing that she had £810,000 in her account and her wild spending became more lavish and talked about.

She was finally outed by Samkelo Mqhayi, deputy branch secretary of the South African Students Congress (SASCO), who reported her to the National Students’ Financial Aids Scheme.

He told Herald Live: “She threw surprise birthday parties for her friends and showered them with expensive gifts and flew them to events where she bought the best seats.
“When the SPAR receipt was leaked showing a balance of R13.6-million (£810,000) in her account I called NSFAS and they checked their records and confirmed that the initial amount was R14-million (£850,000)".

By the time they reigned her in after her two-and-a-half-month spending spree they discovered she had been blowing £666 a day which is a staggering amount in South Africa.

The total missing from the account is £50,000. A fellow student said: “She went from a hard up, humdrum run-of-the-mill student to one who was leading a lavish lifestyle and seemed to have no bottom to her purse and lived the high life.
“She became very glamorous in beautiful dresses with all the accessories and we thought she must have won the Lottery. She must have thought she had won it too when she got that cash!”.



In a Facebook post Miss Mani claimed she had reported the error to the authorities.

She said: ”Today my personal life has become a social media scandal. I have been named and shamed in public. Today, I am a bad person, a person who stole the money of students.
“With that being said, and being named a thief, but as we all know in every story there is truth and there are lies with the very same story”.

She said she was not denying anything but would tell her side later but she has fled the campus and gone into hiding and shut down her Facebook page.

Miss Mani told the Daily Daily Dispatch: ”It is very clear that I didn’t make the error”.

Walter Sisulu University spokeswoman Yonela Tukwayo said the £850,000 payment did not affect other students saying: "All students who were due to receive NSFAS payments got them.


“She will have to repay the money”.

Intellimali chief executive Michael Ansell said: ” Legal action will be taken against the student. A forensic investigator had been appointed”.

The university has 30,500 students of whom 18,000 are funded by the NSFAS who are meant to spend their monthly grants on food and books.

Legal experts have said Miss Mani could face a charge of theft.

IamaNigerianGuy:
So am I. We can join forces. PM me lets talk.

Good to know I am not alone. I have been foot dragging for a long time but I guess I am almost at my wits end with this situation.

IamaNigerianGuy:
We know the EFCC is active but thy dont need to tell lies just for publicity. How can $200 billion be stolen from Nigeria and stashed in Dubai ? What is Nigeria's GDP ?

It is not the EFCC, The newspaper took a figure given by the senate and attached it to a report supposedly from the EFCC and made it seem like the figure was from the EFCC. This is why I hate Nigerian newspapers. Spreading fake news deliberately. I am tempted to start my own online newspaper.

I have a first degree second class lower in Demography and Social Statistics, going to 6 years now. But I've not been able to get a job above 50k. Some of those years, I was even without a job. What can I do to better my chances.

Learn data analytics or digital marketing. Data analytics is the in thing now and companies are increasingly looking for people with data skills. If you have the time, interest and motivation you could learn data science which is a notch up from data analytics.

Useless headline. How can they reject it when all they have to do is set their bench mark as high as they want?

idris4r83:
All these good news may not crash electricity tarrifs as the discos are seriously milking us dry. Fg really needs to do something.

Tarrifs are already too low and do not reflect market realities. Add to that electricity theft which has to be paid for by other users.

Lakeside79:
Doesn't happen with all UK numbers Virgin Mobile for instance didn't happen

But then they charge you £1.50 per minute. These other virtual mobile operators use a different gateway to enable them offer cheaper tarrifs. It is not much of a big deal as long as your call is answered and the quality is good. The problem sometimes is the annoying messages like "your call credit is low".

only about 2 promotions. The others are redeployments.

where are the pictures? You don't expect me to go to your blog, do you?

EKITI001:
i like dat woman, she get action..

Shouting doesn't often make the situation better.

How did they reject it? what difference does it make to their admission process?

In fairness to the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, he repeatedly stressed at the Combined Policy Meeting held Tuesday, 22 August, 2017 that the Senate of each university still has wide powers for admission in the spirit of autonomy.

Interesting, I am surprised that Liberia is on that list. Could it be due to the Ebola outbreak?

I am surprised nairaland didn't put this up as defense headquarter's twitter account given nairaland's penchant for spreading fake news as long as people click the links.

transfer101:
Seriously? A pass mark with Nigeria universities?

Here's your statement:

If this is acceptable, then WAEC should upgrade an E8 to a pass mark.

But E8 is pass mark, isn't it?

transfer101:
Jamb registrar is a STUPlD-Genius.

How can a cut off mark be less than 50% of total marks?

If this is acceptable, then WAEC should upgrade an E8 to a pass mark.

Is Buhari contesting in 2019?
