Right. I'm not really arguing whether GEJ sacked Nnaji or not. My main point is, the article he quoted doesn't support Sambo sacking him...one would draw a different conclusion from the sentence in red. Not to mention that Sambo simply doesn't have that power. 1 Like |

torkaka: “But the Chairman of the NCP, Vice-President Namadi Sambo, was not convinced and he walked Nnaji out of the session. The bids were later cancelled, based on Nnaji’s conflict of interest.So....GEJ sacked Nnaji, not Sambo. Again, Sambo does not have that power constitutionally. |

akpanbaba: If Hausa-Fulani person is not allowed to have his way in anything he will read tribal meaning to it.When they were doing whatever they like in government offices there was no tribalism in their dictionary.If Oduah is now sectional it therefore means Kawu people taught her to be sectional.The rep should keep quiet and accept the fact that power is transient.Right, so I thought this way too at first. But in light of OAM4J's post on the first page, this line of reasoning doesn't make sense. |

Eh...well, you do a bit of thinking and figure out for yourself why doing (2) is a bad idea for the country as a whole (though it may be of benefit to Enugu.) If you have no argument for (1), then i guess there is nothing left to say. |

Then in that case, the problem is easy to solve. Just do something like this: [quote author=ekt_bear]What score does the following configuration get: ZX_ZX_ZX_ZX_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_X_ where the Xs contain the locations of the JSS1 students, the first 4 Zs are say the first for JSS2 students, and the blanks take the remaining? Does it get a perfect score (i.e., no cheating possible)? Or do JSS1 students and JSS2 students possibly have the same exam, and thus for example the first ZX pair in the configuration can cheat?[/quote]This ensures that no JSS1 students are next to each other, no JSS2 students next to each other, no JSS3 students next to each other. And thus, no cheating possible (at least, assuming that the possibility of cheating occurs only when I have a neighbor doing the same exam). No need to reseat either after the exams. 1 Like |

She has denied the report: http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/business/59616-minister-denies-banning-foreign-airlines-from-abuja-kano-airports.html So now it is left to the rep and/or the airlines in question to respond with facts. |

So there are at least two possible explanations for her behavior: 1. It is in Nigeria's strategic interest 2. She is pursuing a sectional agenda as the rep alleges, forcing business to setup airlines in a place where they have zero interest So, what is the argument for (1) being more likely than (2)? In particular, how is it in Nigeria's strategic interest to block an airline from flying the Abuja route (which presumably those two foreign airlines have identified as among the most lucrative possible routes)? |
| Travel › Re: Denial Of Licence To Airlines: Oduah Has Sectional Agenda - Rep by ektbear: 11:49am On Aug 30, 2012 |
Long story short, let the free market decide. If foreign airlines are interested in applying for licenses to fly into Abuja and you deny them, trying to force them to fly into Enugu instead, that is wrong. |

billante: Its like to tell MTN not to go to abeokuta because they feel its not viable! If you put up service there the market will spring up!...in enugu case, d market is already there...and its not like they are denying them viable routes! The three airlines are already operating from lagos and are looking for more slotsIf it is true that they don't want to go to Enugu, it isn't by force to make them. Find somebody else who wants to service that city. It is a free world (or at least, should be). |

OAM4J: I think he is referring to directive of the minister for the airlines to consider Enugu instead of Abuja. So the Mallam think she has an ethnic agenda since the minister is from South East.If this is the case, then the rep is correct. You shouldn't force someone to fly to Enugu if they believe flying to Abuja is more profitable. |

1. Can I reseat students after the first exam? 2. Can you give an example of what you mean by minimize cheating? I.e., for a smaller problem (say with 6 students rather than 42), give two configurations and say which one is better (and ideally, what the "score" associated with each configuration is). 3. Do I know the identities of the cheating students? Are they the only ones who will cheat, or might others also? |
