EducationQuestion Of The Day - Is 080 "O Eight O" Or "Zero Eight Zero"? by Emisco3310(op): 8:13am On Dec 29, 2015
A lot of people argue when it comes to saying phone numbers,e.t.c. Even, teachers and lecturers also argue it and hold a particular opinion. The popular opinion as far as I know is "zero eight zero". In saying numbers, is it "o eight o" or "zero eight zero"? Kindly give your contribution and let's solve the puzzle. Thanks! http://2gedatalk..com/2015/12/question-of-day-eight-o-or-eight-zero.html
EducationOAU Students Accuse Vice Chancellor Of Fraud by Emisco3310(op): 9:01pm On Dec 20, 2015
OAU Students have accused their vice-chancellor
of looting public funds meant for development of
their school. The students' union President
Omotayo Akande accused the vice chancellor of
increasing tuition fee but failing to improve
standards of the school. Omotayo accused the
vice chancellor of constructing a swimming pool
to the tune of 500 million.
The students have expressed their readiness to
take up the case at the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, saying the Vice Chancellor
must be probed. News outfits earlier reported the
case of OAU students demanding probe of their
Vice Chancellor over alleged financial
misappropriation after increase of the institution's
school fee in 2014.
Also in the same year Senior Special Assistant to
the then President Goodluck Jonathan , Comrade
Jude Image accused the OAU management of
having little to show for the fund given to the
University by the federal government, he wrote on
his twitter handle
" it is only when schools want to increase tuition
fee that they remember independence"
Non Academic Staff Union of Universities also
made similar allegations against the University
Management led by the outgoing Vice Chancellor
- Professor Bamitale Omole, it was revealed and
alledged by NASU that OAU has been battling
with lack of internal financial records with a query
from the Director of audit in 2014 - the year of
school fee increase. The query with reference
number Ref.Int.audit/bur/007 read in part "It is
necessary to state that excuses tendered by the
scheduled officers such as inability to obtain bank
statements, staff being unavailable is
unnaceptable and will not be accepted if the
school is defrauded"
The allegations of misappropriation ranged from
issues between 2011 and September 2015. It was
also gathered that the Director Of Audit stated
that Out of the 41 accounts operated by OAU, 34
of the accounts were last audited in June
2012 ,with 7 of the accounts last audited in
December 2013.
In the letter the Director of Audit Mr J.A Adeshoba
stated that efforts to reconcile the accounts has
alarmingly failed. The internal audit memorandum
was directed to the University Bursar. The
University Bursar in a letter dated 14th of
September 2015 tried to change the name of one
of the accounts of the school in Wema Bank PLC ,
the account is with the name MBA executive
Tution Fee and with bank account number
0121241638 , in a letter directed to the Managing
Director Wema bank PLC Obafemi Awolowo
University to change the name of the account,
sources close to the University said this move
was made to ensure the University keep some
accounts in disguise while the single account
policy of President Buhari goes on.
Non-Academic Staff Union Of University (NASUU)
also confirmed that this move was made possibly
to avoid issues of single account policy of
President Buhari. It was also gathered that in
2008, the National Universities Commission gave
an order to all public universities with ref number
Fame/DA/SD/c.124/1/15, with the NUC reference
NUC/ES/138/ volume.xlv1/215, with the title,
'Withdrawal of Official Vehicles From Part-Time,
Non-Pensionable Members Of Statutory Boards Of
Government Owned Companies And Parastatals'.
NUC in the letter, instructed that universities
should stop purchase of vehicles for board
members of institutions . Non-Academic Staff
Union of Universities OAU branch hinted that, as
against this order, which is still operating till
date, OAU has bought vehicles worth millions of
naira for members of statutory boards violating
the federal ministry directive.
The public relations officer of OAU has however
denied all these allegations. He said,
"if anybody has anything against OAU, he or she
should tell the vice chancellor". On the issues of
the students union petitioning EFCC, Olanrewaju
said, " We run a plain and transparent
administration".
Sam Adegbola wrote for Nigerian voice an article
against increase in school fee in 2014. Sam
Adegbola was a former NANS leader in Nigeria.
"Aside donations from OAU Alumni Associations,
both at home and in Diaspora, the Nigerian
Universities Commission (NUC) also made a
promise of Five Hundred Million Naira (N500, 000,
000) to support the anniversary. Surprisingly, OAU
also received a donation of five hundred thousand
naira from the pupils of Sunshine Primary School,
Ile-Ife, Osun State as part of their contribution to
the 50th anniversary of the institution. Other
funds also came in and some individuals, bodies,
and companies offered free, or subsidized
services.
Moreover, the NUGA games also got financial
boost from the Nigerian University Games
Association, Osun State Government, and several
companies like Zenith Bank, MTN, Airtel, and
Diamond Bank made huge contribution's. The
Olympic-size swimming pool was funded by the
Federal Government, while Zenith Bank supported
the construction of the IAAF Standard Tartan
Track of the University main Bowl with
N70million.
Despite the huge fund gathered for the event, OAU
contingents were poorly treated, while some are
yet to receive their entitlement. For instance,
Bayero University, Kano paid a whooping sum of
N100, 000 each to its contingents while OAU, the
host university, paid about N30, 000 each.
To convince you further that most of the things
done in OAU are financed outside the fees paid by
students, you need to be aware that Syke Bank,
in 2013, donated N600million well-equipped Ultra
Modern ICT Centre to OAU; the Federal
Government earmarked the whooping sum of
N3.05 billion for the construction and renovation
of infrastructures in university. Furthermore, OAU
benefited from the World Bank STEP-B Project
and at the same time, the school received another
grant of $8 million (N1.3 billion) from the World
Bank in January, 2014. Oil producing giant,
ExxonMobil also donated two buses and
geological equipment worth more than N35
million to the university.
Aside that, the company also dropped a cheque of
N4.55million. The donations were received on
behalf of the school by Prof. Adejinmi Adesanya.
Not everyone forgets that in June, 2012, Pastor
Enoch Adeboye gave the Vice Chancellor, Prof.
Bamitale Omole a UBA cheque of N50 million
donation to OAU. On campus too, a 500-capacity
lecture theatre was donated by First Bank Plc.
A Post Graduate College Building was single-
handedly built, furnished, and donated by an
alumnus, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim, OFR, while the
Natural History Museum Building was donated by
Leventis Foundation of London. Also, in Nov 2011,
Prof. Bamitale Omole received laboratory
microscopes worth N10 million naira from
Nigerian Breweries. The wife of Ekiti State
governor, Mrs. Bisi Fayemi also donated a
buliding and NCC supported OAU with N50million
worth of equipments to boost internet services in
the university. The 1000-Seater-Lecture Theatre,
behind Moremi Hall was also a project of the
Petroleum Trust Fund.
So, what else has not been supported? What else
do OAU need such 'dangerous' money for?
Research? That has been financed too. What is
obviously left out now is students and staff
welfare only. In the interim, the tap water
supplied to all Halls of residence is actually below
the PH level of 7, very acidic, colourful, odourful,
and highly cancerous.
Angola Hall and Awo Hall Annex have turned
another 'Sambisa forest': bushy and dangerous
to stay at night. There is no water supply in
bathrooms and toilets in virtually all halls of
residence.
The fund for welfare shouldn't be drawn from
parents' accounts alone. Thank goodness, the
university has investments. They have the bread
and water factories, the Bookshop, OAU Press
LTD, Pre-Degree Centre, Transport services, OAU
Staff Schools and Halls for rentage which are
charged at prices beyond normal.
Everything in OAU has been olivertwistically
commercialized. Even the shuttle buses, sorry,
shuttle cars charge high fares. No wonder, the
Vice Chancellor of the school was quoted as
saying that his children school fees while in
'secondary school' were far higher than what OAU
students are paying. The questions that beg for
answer are; "were his children admitted into a
private or public school?" "What social status did
he hold during those periods - rich or poor? Prof.
Bamitale Omole also compared OAU with other
tertiary institutions abroad where they pay
exorbitant fees. Hmm, Mr. Vice Chancellor should
be reminded that schools that charge high fees in
US, Canada, and UK, etc provide loans,
scholarship, and job opportunities for students in
order to aid their payment. In institutions abroad,
registered student organizations, for example,
have the privilege to use university's facilities free
of charge, but in OAU, no matter how legitimate
and recognized your organization is, the school
will still drill your account till you go bankrupt and
this is the singular reason why students have
appeared not to be as creative as they were in
the past, when they drew up with innovative
programs and activities.
Event venues were available for use free or at a
highly subsidized rate unlike what it is today.
Then, organizations like JCI, Redcross, ANUNSA,
Kegite, Rotaract put up interesting programs for
the benefit of all; none of them. would dare stage
a public lecture without having about N200, 000
to fork out, especially if they want to use a venue
like Oduduwa Hall. Ordinarily, public higher
education should be free. Not means-tested, not
cheap, not subsidized, but free. If it isn't free, it
isn't public education. This should not be a
controversial assertion. This should be common
sense. But OAU management has forgotten what
the "public" in "public education" actually means
(or used to mean). What the management wants
to turn Great Ife to is nothing but a federal-
controlled private university, a corporate body
that thinks and behaves like business venture.
Why would the institution make education
available only to those who can afford it? If Prof.
Omole's administration turns OAU to a
marketplace where education would be bought at
a fantastically outrageous price, in what sense
can it really be called "Obafemi
Awolowo" University? I could feel latest
developments will make Awolowo fume in his
grave".

Phones5 Things You Probably Never Knew Your Mobile Phone Could Do !!! by Emisco3310(op): 1:09pm On Nov 28, 2015
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. . Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.
Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ' remote ' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)...
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone! '
THIRD: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.
FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.
You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
FIFTH: ATM - PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321.
The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.
This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don’t know about it...... Please pass this along to everyone.
This is the kind of information people don’t mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

Nairaland GeneralYou Have A Brain, Use It !!! by Emisco3310(op): 12:46pm On Nov 28, 2015
"...In med school followed the rules, went to class, studied, completed assignments, and thought l was doing well. However, it wasn't long before l was disabused of that notion. When l did poorly on the first set of comprehensive exams, my faculty advisor called me to his office to offer what he thought would be helpful advice.

After looking over my records, he told me, "You seem to be a highly intelligent young man, Mr. Carson. I'm sure there many things you could do outside of medicine."

His words nearly devastated me. The faculty member assigned to provide me advice, encouragement, and inspiration thought l wasn't smart enough to handle medical school and was advising me to go ahead and drop out.

When l told him l didn't want to do that, he suggested the possibility of taking half as many classes, which would require 4 yrs to complete the first 2 yrs of the program. l didn't want to do that either. So l don't think my advisor was happy when l left his office without agreeing to take any of his advice.

I still believed God wanted me to pursue the dream I had had Since I was 8 yrs old to become a doctor. So l determined to use my brain to think seriously about why l seemed to be struggling and come up with a strategy for addressing the problem.

I'd become voracious learner since fifth grade; l wasn't going to give up now. The more l thought about how my med school experience was diff. from the previous twelve years of educational success, the more convinced l became that the issue wasn't whether l could learn(I'd proven that), but how l learned best.

I'd been sitting n listening to lectures hour after hour after hour every day That was the pattern in every one of my courses, and nothing was sinking in. When l thought back over my previous schooling, it hit me that l had never learned we from just listening. l had always learnt best by reading. That meant l needed to come up with a way to use that strength.

The plan l arrived at sounds pretty drastic-maybe crazy- but from then until the end of med school, l skipped most of my class lectures. During the hours the other students spent in class, l was in my rum or d library reading and rereading the textbook (sometimes more than one textbook) for each of my courses. l studied all sort of related resources.

I didn't just blow off the lectures; there were "scribes" who sat in every lecture course. These people earned money by taking and typing up detailed notes on every class. l could subscribe to those note for reasonable price, and l found l could absorb the material much more efficiently that way than l could by attending the classes. Just b4 tests, l transferred much of d info onto flashcards to review. Plus, l attended the labs for the hands-on experiments

While l could never say med school became easy after that( l studied at least as long and as hard as all other students l knew), my new strategy began working right away. My grades improved so quickly that l not only shocked my advisor, but l also surprised myself..."


MY QUESTION TO YOU;


*Like Ben, do you also have a goal that you are not willing to let go....Not even when people greater than you asked you to..


**Like Ben, have you been able to identify what works for you...


***Like Ben mother do tell him, YOU HAVE A BRAIN, USE IT !!!

Bombing humans and stoning the devil. grin

Funny...
Hi bro,I'm not here to abuse you,rather,I will enlighten you. This enlightenment is for you only if you are a religion follower, be it Christianity, Islam or even traditional religion. If you av studied d concept of religion very well,it's characterized with moderate dogmatism,i.e, you only question the secondary source you don't question the primary sources,e.g, you can verify if truly God, Jesus(AS) or Muhammad(SAW) actually said something, you cannot judge whether God should have said it or not ,otherwise you become a disbeliever to God.
Quote me anywhere! Not all activities or concepts of all religions are understandable and meaningful to the followers of the religions. For instance,we all pray every day not to record death,injuries, casualties and misfortunes. Don't we experience all such? Are we all fools for our continuous prayers? Or is there any religion that promises immortality or a life free of any misfortune in this world? Whether you believe in a religion or not what will befall you will befall you!
Therefore, STONING THE DEVIL IN HAJJ IS BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND MEANING AND YOU HAD BETTER LIVE IT! EVEN IN EMPIRICAL FACTS,NOT ALL THINGS YOU CAN KNOW!
Stop religious sentiments and blind criticisms!!!
Hope I've not abused or offended you in anyway. Mend your ways! Thanks!
PoliticsHow I Escaped Assassination –president Muhammad Buhari by Emisco3310(op): 7:38pm On Oct 03, 2015
General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd),
Wednesday, said he narrowly escaped an
assassination attempt on his life after he was
targeted by suicide bombers in Kawu area of
Kaduna.
In a statement, Buhari said: “I am personally
involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today
at about 2:30pm on my way to Daura.“The
unfortunate event, clearly an assassination
attempt, came from a fast moving vehicle that
made many attempts to overtake my security car,
but was blocked by escort vehicle.“We reached
the market area of Kawo where he took
advantage of our slowing down and attempted to
ram my car and instantly detonated the bomb
which destroyed all the three cars in our convoy.
“Unfortunately, when I came out of my vehicle, I
saw many dead bodies littered around. They were
innocent people going about their daily business
who became victims of mass murder.
“Thank God for His mercy, I came out unhurt, but
with three of my security staff sustaining minor
injuries. They have since been treated in hospital
and discharged”, he said.

PoliticsPerspectives On Buhari’s Selective Probe by Emisco3310(op): 2:32am On Aug 20, 2015
It is no more news that people have shown
diverse reactions towards Buhari’s plan to
probe only the immediate past
administration of Goodluck Jonathan. The
question is, is this right and fair? Whether
yes or no,on what grounds?
If Buhari promised the probe of past
administrations during his election
campaign,let’s be reminded at this juncture
that such a promise constitute a social
contract which is not legally and
constitutionally binding because there was
no intention to enter into a legally binding
relation.
It is a crystal clear fact that almost all,if not
all the past administrations embezzled and
misappropriated our funds. That is,all or
most past administrations are guilty, and
are sinners. And the wronged or offended
libertarian person has the legal and moral
right to choose who to punish! Since
Buhari’s action is outside legal jurisdiction
according to our constitution, then,he has
the right to either do or undo! A Prestigious
Yoruba adage says “Ti eniyan ba so pe
eegun ile baba oun yoo jo ti ko ba jo mo ko
si baba eni to le muni sii”,meaning, a person
is not bound by a legally unbinding or
unenforceable promise.
If Buhari is not legally and constitutionally
erroneous in his plan, then, on what ground
again?
Another angle from which the issue can be
viewed is the moral corner. According to the
Utilitarian Morality Theory, “An action is
morally right if it promotes a greater sense
of good over evil while a morally wrong
action is the one which promotes a greater
sense of evil over good”
Moreover, another Morality Theory called
Egoism says “An action is morally right if it
promotes or satisfies the interest of the
performer or doer of the action”
Considering the above theories, probing only
the past immediate administration will do
more good than harm for both Buhari and
Nigerians on one hand, and it will satisfy the
interest of Buhari – the action doer on the
other hand,thus,the conditions of the two
theories are satisfied.
Also,if Buhari were to satisfy the interest of
those who argue that his probing only the
Jonathan’s administration is unfair, then,
his chain of probe will be endless and
unrealistic, and will be like chasing the
ghost or shadow, which is a futile
endeavour before its birth.Therefore, Buhari
has not erred.
Furthermore, going by the principle of
proximity,the Jonathan’s administration is
the closest to Buhari. And Yorubas do say
“Eni ti a ba sun ti ni a maa n jarunpa lu”
And a beautiful English idiom says ” A bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush”.
Buhari has the right to choose.Let us not
deny him his right by our propaganda
mission. “An objective and rational criticism
is a checkmating tool in governance,but a
false and propaganda criticism is a
destroyer and killer of governance”
God bless Nigeria God bless Nigerians.

But,let's try to divide those amounts by d number of states we av in Nig(36) b4 judging. In my own analysis,in 2011,dey got #966b plus,divided by 36 states=#26.8b plus,divided by 12 months=#2.24b. In d last year when salary non-payment started,dey got #282b plus,divided by 36 states=#7.8b plus,divided by 12 months. Yet,those amounts cannot pay salaries of somes states,coupled with other govt expenditure. On IGR's,there are other nemerous pressing areas in which dey are expended. I'm nt taking side of d govs,but,may God help us all!
