How did they open the border?

Do these people think border belongs to yoruba people.

The border is a federal government property not yoruba AGITATORS properties.

The federal government needs to arrest these insane people for economic sabotage and make them a scape goat,

We are lawless in this country because people don't understand the consequences of their actions.

Let me add that these AGITATORS are mumu, if you open border, the other country bordering you cant still enter the country with goods, these yoruba agitators just open the borders for smugglers, car snatchers and gun runners

US-based Space exploration company, SpaceX has said it is working with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to secure the required licences to launch Starlink, its satellite Internet service, in Nigeria.

Per the NCC, Ryan Goodnight, SpaceX’s Starlink Market Access Director for Africa, disclosed this in a meeting with NCC’s Executive Vice-Chairman (EVC). Umar Danbatta on Friday in Abuja.

Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX develops Starlink, a mega constellation on Satellites to bring commercial Internet services to people across the globe. As of April 2021, SpaceX had launched over 1,400 Starlink satellites.

A March 2021 Space in Africa report revealed that the company already planned a late 2021 and 2022 launch, first in Nigeria, and then the rest of Africa.

The Starlink service has already begun a pre-order programme which takes about six months to fulfil. You can pre-order for $99 (₦37,670). The full Starlink kit — a mounting tripod, WiFi router, and a terminal — costs $499 (₦190,000).

We went searching and, it appears that in January 2021 the NCC granted SpaceX permission to “beam their signals till November 2026 over Nigerian territory.”

At the time of granting the licence, SpaceX had launched 893 satellites and, per the NCC, SpaceX has a Landing Permit for its full constellation of 4,408 satellites. The Landing Permit will be subject to review once all 4,408 satellites have been launched.

As of press time, we found three Starlink satellites — 46135, 46078, and 44282 — orbiting Nigeria, and a closer look reveals several others also orbit Nigeria and other African countries at different times of the day. Given the NCC’s statement, it’s safe to say that nearly all Starlink satellites can beam their signals to Nigeria.

Apparently, SpaceX had been in many virtual discussions with the NCC for several months, and both parties finally agreed on a face-to-face meeting to discuss the project’s prospects in Nigeria.

The NCC states that its decision on SpaceX’s proposal will be made in line with its regulatory duties to ensure healthy competition among telecom companies in Nigeria.

While Starlink would bring widespread connectivity to unserved and underserved areas, its current cost seems prohibitive. The ₦37,670 is above minimum wage for the average Nigerian user, but it seems cheaper than most dedicated Internet service lines in Nigeria.

The Nigerian government plans to bring in 90% of its population online by 2025, and cost issues aside, Starlink’s technology might be one of the ways to achieve this.

I was at Transamadi Portharcourt when these young men approached me and started preaching about NeoLife,

I listened intently to them, they said a job was slavery, that it was a temporal solution to a long term problem.

They said Jobs means Just over broke

They were inspiring, they had sweet tongues and almost bought me over.

The point of the story is that, you will never be free working for somebody, Salary is a bribe to forget your own dream.

Even if you are paid a million naira it won't still solve your problems, once you make 100k, you will have 200k problems.

If you make 1 million you will have 2 million naira problem.

Your child cannot inherit your job,

create jobs rather than coming here to compare jobs

Nairaland need to do better, fr.

Underrated topics that offer educating information on technology, art and the likes are there and one moderator is pushing frivolous topics like this to front page. No sense of sentient enlightenment or awareness bordering around the topic. Nothing at all.

How did we get here?

Vick4rill:
l agree on this one , a 3rd class graduate in public university can easily make 2.1 in private university,,
let be honest with ourselves most private school were exorbitant bills are paid do everything it takes to award good grades to students so as to maintain their customers!! l have taught in a lot of this private schools and l must tell u DAT is not funny!! that reminds me of chima a law graduate from Babcock university who can not differentiate between executive and judicial system of government!!

He looks really weird. I think he needs a brain implant. While others are trying to ease world poverty, and even a certain black footballer is feeding school children with his earnings, this one decides spend his money on frivolous stuffs.

Dear Lawyers,

CES evaluated my LLB as a PROFESSIONAL DEGREE.

So I started my evaluation January 2020 because IQAS was on a break and I don’t have a masters. I called CES to ask how they evaluate LLB and I wasn’t given any conclusive answer and was asked to make my application. I decided to go with CES since WES and LLB are enemies.

I paid 420CAD to evaluate both LLB and BL degree so I as to get points for 2 or more degrees. My application was submitted January 8th, transcript received February 24th and then COVID happened. I totally forgot about the application and started the process all over with IQAS. Finally scaled through transcript phase but “fortunately” I haven’t been able to pay for IQAS due to the daily limit and dollar limit issue.( which is now a blessing ��)

November 10th, CES sent me a mail saying they can’t assess my BL as it was outside their scope of evaluation and my 210CAD would be refunded within 2 weeks. It is was refunded 3days later.

I got the email with a soft copy of my evaluation and First professional degree in Law was staring right at me. So it was worth the wait. If you are patient enough and IQAS is wasting your time, you can go ahead evaluate your LLB degree with CES.

That hotel might not even sell. When people get to know the owner, it might deter them from lodging in. The hotel is obviously something where those thugs and cultists will be coming to smoke their life away and have meetings.

Arysexy:
Caught in the act.

Dumb police could not mirror image their Photoshopped culprits in the window at their background.

Everything in this regime is FAKE!

Ugosample:
Well, it is what it is

Every country with their policy
However
The deluded folks up there thinking that Nigeria/Africa will get better if people stayed back bla bla bla rubbish talk are just jokers
The average black man in africa is consumed in tribalism, short term thinking and religious zealotry.
What makes you think any country populated with majority of the people like this will get better EVER?

I mean, if someone for personal reasons decide to be based in Nigeria; that's actually fine
But to delude yourself into thinking that Nigeria /Aftica will get better with time, or will develop
You will die of heartbreak
With the kind of people (defective fellows I must say ) that inhabit these failed $hitholes, nothing will happen

It is you that is accursed and doomed to misery. Animal.

erinalex:
Typical ignorance talk.

Sparking ones child is now an abuse ?

You never heard of "spare the rod, and spoil the child "

Bible is even in support of it

Go and read Proverbs 23:13....

Nothing spectacular bout the boy joor

Kingpele:
some might think they are showing off, or taking undue advantage of the young guy, some have even said they are seeking tooo much attention from the public... But for me all i see is an intelligent boy that was smart enough to avoid painful experience... If we all could be this smart in our daily life , we will be able to overcome some if not all our chellenges in life.... My dear that small boy deserve to be celebrated cus of his diplomatic wisdom and smartness

SmartProf:
For every one interception, its likely over 100 has sailed through. The investor who owns this, will be in severe pain but he knew the risk involved in such importation, but must have waved it off with his left hand since he knows there are corrupt elements in the country which he can buy over & get past any hurdle. Unfortunately he met with officials that want to either do the right thing or are looking for presidential commendations or promotions. I also hope the police will release all of what they seized & not hide some.
