Phones › Re: The Best Smartphone That Costs Less Than 25K by duwdu: 9:23pm On Sep 27, 2015
tomdon:
stay away from huawei! Chinese scam! I just bought a y625 for 25k. it heats up like boiling ring and hangs, very fake battery, it can never be the 2800mah that they claim it is, among other undesirable qualities.
I wanted a very chaep phone because my Samsung phones have been stolen twice.
I was made to believe that huawei is no. 2 in phone ranking.


geonee seems a good product, consider it
You must have purchased a fake product, sorry. The reputation of Huawei allover the world is beyond reproach, and my own Huawei phones have been the best and most reliable and robust phones I've ever owned! (For the avoidance of doubt, please be aware that I've gone through many phone brand names in this world.)

Good luck with your future purchases.

Okay, and when last did Sahara Reports any news about the insurgency going on in the country? because, we have come to understand that alot has been happening and Sahara has never reported any case of Bomb attack. They should be professionals at what they do.
They do report on the insurgency regularly, actually. Maybe you're just fixated on those aspects of their reports some people choose to focus on here on Niraland.

Corollary: Visit Sahara Reporters' website to see the full extent of their stories and articles.

They can't even reject or tamper with the presidents nominees. Nobody wants to be in Bukola's shoe right now. And to those who keep thinking that Saraki will have his pound of flesh back during the ministerial screening, you all should wake up to the reality. Saraki is a walking dead man who can't bark or bite.

Politics › Saraki’s Trial Won’t Affect Ministerial Screening – Senate by duwdu(op): 7:14am On Sep 26, 2015
Dear fellow Nairalanders;

I thought the subject news item is significant enough to be shared, and I quote:

Saraki’s trial won’t affect ministerial screening – Senate
By Ismail Mudashir |
Publish Date: Sep 25 2015 9:46PM |
Updated Date: Sep 26 2015 5:10AM

https://cdn.pmnewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Senator-Bukola-Saraki-copy.jpg
Senate President Bukola Saraki

The upper chamber of the National Assembly cleared the air yesterday on the screening of ministerial nominees, saying the trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki won’t affect the exercise.

Saraki is facing a 13-count criminal charge bordering on false declaration of assets and operation of a foreign account while he was governor of Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.

Since the start of the trial, there have been fears that the lawmakers may pounce on the ministerial nominees whose screening is expected to commence soon.

But speaking exclusively to Daily Trust, deputy Senate leader Bala Ibn Na’Allah said there will not be any problem with the clearance of the ministerial nominees.

In a phone interview yesterday, he said senators were solidly alive to their constitutional responsibilities.
“We senators are perfectly aware of our obligations and oath of office not to allow our personal interest to affect our official conducts. We assure Nigerians that there is no problem whatsoever,” he said.

“We also assure Nigerians that there is no problem between the president and the Senate. It is only mischief makers that are trying to create the impression that all is not well,” Na’Allah noted.

“We are solidly behind (President Muhammadu) Buhari in all his programmes and policies. We assure Nigerians that they will not hear any friction between us and Mr. President," the deputy Senate leader said.

Na’Allah, who described the relationship between the executive and the legislature as cordial and mutual, said they would not allow the nation’s enemies to thwart the country cordial relationship.
“The Senate president is fully aware that President Buhari has no hand in his trials and we the leaders of the Senate know too,” he added.

A court can ignore another court's or tribunal's order but No individual can ignore a court's call most especially in a government that is ready to work. EXCEPT that person bolts out of Nigeria and stays outside until after the life of the government. The latter option may be better.

omogidi234:
Thanks for your information but please let me add that it appears some of our senior lawyers when they have practiced for a long period like 10,15, 20 years do forget the fundamentals of the court system. I learnt in my days as an Undergraduate (100L) that under the Nigerian Legal System, the HIGH COURT, FEDERAL HIGH COURT, SHARIA COURT OF APPEAL and ANY TRIBUNAL as well as the Newly Accredited by the Constitution- The INDUSTRIAL COURT are courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction. What that means is that none of those courts above can issue an order against one another. Appeal from all those courts go to Court of Appeal. So it is the Court of Appeal that can stop the CCT and you know, Saraki cannot head to Court of Appeal as a court of first instance- so the gimmick is go to FHC and if it does not work, on the foundation of the FHC Ruling, either party can now go to Court of Appeal and later to Supreme Court, thereby delaying the arraignment. The best bet is for the CCT to disregard the FHC order as is only persuasive and not binding.

FHC= Federal High Court
CCT = Code of Coduct Tribunal.
Really pertinent info this, @omogidi234. Many thanks for the insight.

Politics › Re: Why Buhari Must Succeed.....a Must Read. by duwdu: 1:10pm On Sep 11, 2015
histemple:
During the Nigerian 2015 general electioneering campaign, Nigerians were promised all the wonderful things that would transform the nation to a paradise if and when implemented by a possible APC led government. While this manifesto worked effectively and endeared Buhari to millions of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora, some were still suspiciously skeptical about the sincerity of purpose. Some even registered strong repulsion on the person of Buhari based on his antecedents as a former head of state.

While the PDP aired documentaries to portray the person of Buhari as an evil to avoid, the APC convinced Nigerians that the fierce campaign of calumny was mendacious, jejune, infantile and a diversionary measure to shift the attention of Nigerians from pertinent issues and the genuine intentions of the party towards solving our obvious problems.
From his antecedents, to forgery, to health status, to senility and even perjury, the person of Buhari was severely attacked. Clearly, not all Nigerians believed either party verbatim and it reflected in the shared votes as the margin wasn't much.

However, the election was widely adjudged as transparently free and fair despite little observed irregularities in some quarters and Buhari became Nigeria's president. Thanks to the Prof. Attahiru Jega led INEC. For a smooth and hitch free transition, former president Jonathan was widely celebrated as a hero.

Following Buhari's reluctance in forming his cabinet, many concerned Nigerians perceived his inactions as an indication of a confused mind. Even a Lagos based lawyer sought a court injunction to declare him incompetent. More so, Buhari's deafening silence on his party's position on the choice of principal officers of the national assembly and his perceived selective favoritism in his few appointments, was seen as mischievously precluding and decimating other regions.

But in all of these issues, I have followed the Buhari's administration keenly and I think he isn't bothered by these criticisms. I think that alone is commendable. More so, Buhari seem to be focused on delivering his promises to the people as he strives to minimize corruption and cost of governance. Recently Buhari rejected a proposal to buy new cars for his use and insisted that he will make due with the existing presidential fleet used by his predecessor. That again is unprecedented in the history of our nascent democracy. As an example, other government officials have started accepting a whooping 50% pay cut in order to fix the Nigerian state.

As it stands, the only partially justifiable aggression is his delay in appointing ministers. But thinking deeply, we are not suffering the absence of ministers as most of them were or will be just figure heads. In almost all ministries and agencies, the permanent Secretaries have better useful understanding as they have been there for ages than a minister who often times is a novice to the activities of the ministry as a mere political appointee. Although some are sound.

Another area is the selective favoritism for the North. In my opinion, the average Nigerian is more interested in how his/her life is improved by the activities and policies of the government than who occupies which position. Aside some unfounded primordial sentiments, the representation of some regions by some politicians has brought more suffering to them and the politicians don't seem to care about their plight.

I was never a Buhari supporter and couldn't have voted for him at the time. Just like most informed Nigerians, my expectations is not entirely based on Buhari's campaign promises as a few of them are unreliastic and no politician anywhere in the world has delivered his/her campaign promises 100% but I think Buhari has shown that when sincerely supported, we will have a better Nigeria.
This represents my opinion and mine only just as your objective views, constructive criticism and opinion is highly welcomed.

Written by histemple. A Public Affairs Analyst.
The above quoted message, posted on/since July 11, did not have a single response, talk less of one that's worthwhile. That, to my mind, says quite a lot about the quality of the typical responder to posts on the forum. Hmm.

And that's a shame, because the OP (original post) makes a lot of sense, and provides some food for thought.

[BTW, I missed the original post at the time. I just happened to have seen it now, in the course of my checking out the profile of the poster, following another post I had seen in another thread.]

All the best to the present administration. We certainly deserve to genuinely make progress as a nation state.

Just in less than four months, things are begining to go well. Now I understand why he chose his close associates as his personal staff.
You don't expect him to appoint Ameachi who Betrayed his own people. He could also betray Baba anytime.

If you'd like for one to take you seriously, then you ought to have enumerated, at least in your own opinion, what the new Governor ought to have done already - or not - that you're grieving about.

10 Money Mistakes Successful People Don’t Make

MONEY BY BRUCE HARPHAM
Avoid These Money Mistakes


https://howafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/naira-dollar.jpeg

Managing money effectively is a key success skill. Successful people make the decision to become effective with money, many of them early in life. Like any area of life, it is important to educate yourself about the threats and challenges in the world. Taking the time to master a few key principles will pay off for years to come.

1. They don’t overspend; they live on less than they make.

Living on less than you make is an essential money management skill. Some of the world’s wealthiest people have taken this principle to heart. For example, Sir John Templeton, a legendary investor who became a billionaire, saved 50% of his income even when he grew up with limited means. If that is more than you manage, don’t worry! You can reach financial success by saving 10-15% of your income.

Tip: Learning to live on less than you earn takes time. Start by looking for ways to save money.

2. They don’t fixate on price; they understand the importance of value.

The price you pay for an investment, a meal or piece of clothing is only part of the story. Successful people also think about the value of that good. For investments, they consider the prospects for the investment growing in the future. For personal items, they look for high quality products that will last. For example, a well made pair of business shoes may cost $200 or more but these shoes can last for years with proper care.

Tip: Buy high quality products that will last for a long time.

3. They don’t waste cash on fees and interest; they know how to manage their banking.

Carrying a balance on your credit card is incredibly expensive and sadly common. According to CNN, the average American household carried over $15,000 in credit card debt. Successful people also keep an eye on their bank fees–how much they pay for ATM use and other transactions. These fees are easy to avoid with planning once you understand how the system works. Simply reviewing your financial accounts for 5-10 minutes each month is all it takes to understand your fees.

Discover: Look for Essential Ways To Avoid Unnecessary Bank Charges.

4. They don’t forget to adjust their finances after big changes in life.

Did you get married recently? Is your spouse referenced in your will? These are some of the points that financially successful people manage effectively. While you can automate a great deal of your finances, it is vital to make adjustments when your life and family circumstances change significantly. Sitting down by yourself (or with a financial expert) at least once a year to review your life and financial plan is an excellent way to stay on top of important changes.

Learn: Arrange your finances for the long term by getting involved with the field of Estate Planning.

5. They are not satisfied with a stagnant income; they look for ways to increase their income.

Some people never ask for more money or simply settle for 1-3% increases. Unfortunately, that rate of income growth means you are simply standing still–inflation is slowly eating away at your purchasing power. Instead, successful people look for ways to earn more income. Increased income gives you more options for personal enjoyment, more capacity to give money, and a sense of security.

Successful people take daily action to increase their income. For example, they take a course to improve their skills or they contribute ideas to improve the productivity of their companies. They also know how to ask for more money.

Tip: Do yourself a favor and learn about High paying fields.

6. They don’t ignore financial statements.

Reaching financial success requires some slow and steady habits. That includes forming a habit to monitor your financial statements. Successful people set a time each month–30 to 60 minutes–to review all of their financial accounts: investments, bank accounts, credit cards and more. When they detect an error or omission, they take immediate action.

Tip: Set a recurring reminder in your calendar each month to review your financial accounts.

7. They don’t take foolish risks in money.

Warren Buffet is often quoted as saying, “Rule number one is never lose money.” All investments carry some measure of risk (and therefore the potential to lose money). That said, successful people use two powerful tools to avoid losses. They understand the value of insurance to control risk (e.g. home, auto, and life insurance) and the importance of asset allocation.

Remember: If it sounds too good to be true (or if you don’t understand how it works), slow down and start asking plenty of questions.

8. They don’t pretend to understand everything when it comes to money.

The world is a vast and complex place–successful people know and deeply understand this truth. When it comes to money, there is a lot of information out there. That’s why successful people like Warren Buffet understand their limits and focus on their strengths.

Tip: Review your knowledge of money and investments. If you are just starting out, read one or two classic personal finance books. Or read books such as "9 Can’t-Miss Secrets Behind Warren Buffett’s Wealth" for more insights from one of the world’s most successful investors.

9. They don’t transfer responsibility to experts.

Successful people do seek out the advice of experts, yet they never yield responsibility. For example, it is reasonable to seek advice from a tax accountant in planning your financial affairs. However, successful people take the time to ask questions and evaluate the person providing advice to them.

Tip: When seeking advice from professionals like accountants and lawyers, ask questions and seek to have the advice explained to you. Otherwise, it is difficult to act on the advice.

10. They don’t let the pursuit of money overcome other values.

Seeking financial success is a valid goal. Significant financial resources give you more options to give to causes you believe in. It also means improved access to technology, health care and leisure. However, successful people understand that financial success is only one aspect of a successful life. For example, neglecting health in the pursuit of money is a poor strategy.

Tip: Review your personal goals to see if you have a balance between financial goals, career goals, family goals and other activities.

25 Signs You are Already Successful and You’re Simply Unaware

COMMUNICATION MOTIVATION BY CARLES SABARICH
Successful Though Not Aware


We have all had that period in our lives where we feel, regardless of what happens, we simply have nothing positive going for us. It’s easy to criticize yourself in just about anything–from your competence in the workplace to how you deal with situations at home–and this can make it easy to become clouded to our own successes in life.

This kind of constant action and lack of clarity can make it easy to believe that you are a failure, even when all the evidence in your life–personally and professionally–points to other conclusions. If you are too busy in life fighting fires, you’ll likely never make the time to actually appreciate your own success and accomplishments. You could already be successful and just not realize it. Here are some signs that is the case:

1. You aren’t controlled by your income.

Many people feel like they are tied to that next paycheque to make things work for them. If you are able to go day-to-day without the worry that you won’t have enough money to last until the end of the month, then you are most definitely a success! You might not be able to afford a Rolex, but if you aren’t living from week-to-week you are a success.

2. You don’t seek praise.

Seeking praise from loved ones and colleagues is something that we typically grow out of in our teenage years. If you aren’t hanging around waiting to get the proverbial pat on the back at work or at home, you are a more successful individual than you might even know. Being able to do your part without looking for praise is a strong sign of mental security.

3. You suffer less drama.

Look back even just a year in your life: are you finding that things are quieter? At home and at work? If this is the case then you can probably say that your life is pretty successful–a lack of chaos points to order and harmony.

4. You have a plan.

Success is built on structure and having a long-term plan to get to where you want to be. If you actually have a framework to follow in your life to reach your life goals, you are already pretty successful. Most people don’t plan ahead!

5. You crave more.

For someone who might feel like they aren’t doing well very in life, if you tend to look for more from any situation you are already on your way to success. Ambition and a desire for knowledge points to a determined individual who seeks to better themselves.

6. You are an early bird.

You know the old saying. The early bird catches the worm. If you are to make your life a success, you can’t be starting each day in the afternoon. When you find that you are jumping out of bed, ready to attack the day, you can probably point to a successful lifestyle and personality.

7. You are socially active.

Success tends to come in many different ways, not just your rank or your pay packet. If you are able to get involved in many different situations with a variety of social circles you can point to a healthy and harmonious life–people don’t tend to stick around toxic personalities.

8. You offer mutual respect.

Success tends to come from your own experiences in life, including going through stresses and difficulties. If you understand the value of treating others with respect, you already harness one of the most important aspects of success.

9. You wish to help others.

Again, your success in this world goes far beyond the cost of your car. If you are able to provide people with a solid base to work with, and act as a pillar of strength for colleagues, success is not too far off.

10. You are driven.

Anybody without an engine and a willingness to get through the hard times and the difficulties will struggle to succeed. If you don’t mind getting your sleeves rolled up and your hands dirty, you are better off than you think.

11. You possess confidence without arrogance.

The big difference between a successful person and someone who believes they are successful is the way they conduct themselves. If you can show some genuine humility for others, whilst inspiring those who are struggling, you are already a successful individual

12. You have fought back.

We have already touched on how failure can be the point needed to succeed. You need to hit the bottom before you can reach the top. Being able to battle back from a position of failure to success–any success–is a sign of an iron-willed individual with the nous to succeed in life.

13. You strive to improve.

Many people fall into the trap of believing that they “made it”. When you always look to improve on the previous performance, even if it was spectacular, you are setting yourself up to be a long-term success.

14. You have discipline.

Discipline can only come from being a success and seeing how things have gone in the past. Learning how not to make mistakes and how to make the right call is vital to being a long-term success.

15. You preach patience.

Patience is a virtue that the most successful people emit on a large-scale basis. Without patience, it can be hard to ever make the type of impact that you originally intended in any work or personal environment.

16. You can say no.

We spoke earlier about the power of being able to avoid needing to be praised–this is the same ideal. If you are able to say no then you have already avoided the need to please everyone. This is the sign of a successful individual.

17. You manage time well.

Time management is a sign of long-term success, and being able to use the time in any given day to be productive is the sign of a successful person. Capable of dealing with plenty of tasks in any given day? You are already a success.

18. You have successful friends.

Success around you is the easiest way to inspire yourself. If you find yourself surrounded by those who are also doing well it can be easier to actually improve and develop yourself in the right manner.

19. You don’t blame others.

You have reached a point in your life where you fully understand what it means to take ownership of your actions and not target others for your frustrations and failures. That comes about from being active rather than passive, and noticing your inner power to transform your life. It also speaks to your ability to prevent the environment from leading you down a direction you do not desire.

20. You don’t waste your time.

Long gone are the days when you let others drag you along and make you invest your time in activities you deemed boring or even counterproductive to your self-development and self-esteem. Your greater sense of direction empowers you to know what you want without needing other´s approval.

21. You are assertive.

You understand that simply saying yes or no is not enough. Explaining your reasons in a clear manner is essential for others to understand that you are an individual with your own thoughts and needs. This does not mean being inflexible, but while being understanding you should never let anyone bend your way.

22. You stay positive.

You have learnt the hard way that being negative or skeptical to justify your potential defeats and failures does not serve any purpose. Not only it does make you feel unable and anxious, but also does affect the final outcome. By being positive and honest at pursuing your goals you will unleash the true achiever within you.


23. You take care of your health.

Quitting harmful activities that stop you from working towards the brighter future you have always dreamt is a powerful step. Be it smoking, taking drugs, eating too much saturated fats and sugar, or not exercising, you understand that leaving all of those behind will turn you into a stronger individual with greater drive and willpower.

24. You don’t seek a relationship to solve your personal issues.

It is easy to hide our failures behind someone who loves us. But, it is a bit immature for both sides in a relationship to stop tackling the real issues that harm each other’s lives. It is not a good idea to avoid helping the other towards becoming a better person just because it is easier not doing it or because “things are just fine as they are”.

25. You are mature.

When bad situations unfold in the workplace, or you need to deal with the individual who you have a problem with. A sign of success is being able to put personal grievances to the side for professional gain.

It’s always important to remind yourself that success isn’t something that can be judged so materially. If you are able to look at your lifestyle and understand that you do things in a mature, social and effective manner then you are already far more successful than any slap on the back will ever make you feel.

Success comes from acceptance of your own skills and abilities, not what somebody you might never have met before tells you.

I hope this allegation isn't false as I am tired of propaganda.

However, if it is true, all participants should be made to dance to the music. Those senators who boldly read these quotes should be tried.

As for Saraki, I've just been waiting for him. If he escapes this, he won't escape another. You don't place yourself above your party, it's not done anywhere. He was starting a reign of impunity in Nigeria, in the upper chambers. His election, caused too much of uproar. He deserves whatever Ill befalls him; it's risky to be over-ambitious.

for PMB, I know he will succeed, that's what we voted for.

God bless Nigeria.
My thinking too; thanks for properly articulating this.

A senate standing order never dies. It only gets amended by the senate. All the other senate standing rules u referred to were all amended by the senate.

The clerk and others lack the power to unilaterally amend any senate standing rule. It can only be amended by the senate itself. And where there is no amendment thereof, the previous standing rule is still in action.

Old man with skewed thinking. This is the same way u were screaming that Tambuwal was no longer d speaker. We all know how it ended. History has therefore shown that u lack the capacity to interpret legal issues without bias.

You don't need to ask anybody to go to court. The police will definitely charge all those found culpable to court. They will go there and explain themselves. And anyone found guilty by the court will definitely face d music.
+1. Very well said.

Those people know that this admin will not tolerate their ways...onnly 2 percentt of them milking us dry and giving absolutely nothing back to the community they got the money from...

Actually, the percentage is less than even 0.000002, based on our population, since no Nigerian can be excluded. grin

Seriously, I hear you, though.

Story !!! Story!!! Story!!! The standing rules for 2007 died with the 6th senate.ditto the standing rules for 2011.The standing rules for 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015 were all done by the NASS bureacrats led by the clerk.

The NATION newspaper is only doing what it knows best (propaganda).Anyone who really wants to challenge the power of the clerk and other NASS bureacrats to make the standing rules for each NASS should go to court.

Mentioning the senate standing rules for 2007 which ended in 2011 is laughable to say the least.

Senate standing rules 1999,2003,2007,2011 and 2015 are unique and differant and each died(or will die) with the particular senate for which it was made.

Whether the senate rules 2007 and 2011 contains similar rules is immaterial.The fact remains that each set of standing rules died with the respective senate for which it was made
Just two expressions for this diatribe: There's NO such thing as Senate Standing Rules 2011 per se, it was the 2007 Standing Orders that was properly adopted verbatim by senators for the 7th Senate. So, EPIC FAIL for you. grin

My first reaction to the headline of this thread was: Exactly.

After reading the original post, my reaction remains: Exactly.

There's hope yet for Nigeria to be great and ALWAYS stand tall in the comity of Nations, for the betterment of her people!
