Politics › Re: Insecurity: Stop Lying To Nigerians, PDP Counsels Lai Mohammed by Engrduke: 7:53am On Oct 06, 2020
ignis:
So you guys think Lai Mohammed knows that he is lying ? It's just like telling a pig that it's dirty.
Lai Mohammed started lying from him mother's womb, nk wonder he was given the name "Lai".
Lol. Funny you.

But "LAI" is a short form of "OLAYIWOLA" and not synonymous with "Lie". Before you know it, children christened as LAI may start rejecting their names.��

Pathetic!

Travel › Re: Crashed Bell Helicopter Pilot Had No Valid License - AIB by Engrduke: 9:36am On Sep 22, 2020
ShinnBet:
Don't mind these idiots.

The black box was removed from the crash site by the operators.

This is not the first time that has happened.

The pilot I suspect must have dumped his fuel in anticipation of a crash in an urban area. No pilot will fly with inadequate fuel and if it so happens to be so, would have made an emergency landing in an open area.

Thirdly, the AIB coming out with this statement of the pilot not having a valid liscence is following the earlier NCAA's very unprofessional utterance long before AIB came out with their prelimunary report, that the helicopter in question was not approved for flight operations by them.

Then how come an aircraft that was not approved for operations was being operated within Nigerian airspace by an unqualified Pilot?

These NCAA idiots don't know they are even indicting themselves for failing to do their job.

This is not the first time the useless NCAA has been in the eye of the storm. This same NCAA came out to tell us that the black box for Bellview Airliner that mysteriously crashed somewhere around Ibadan airspace in 2005 was stolen from their office in Lagos.

I have met and interacted with several of these NCAA badged agents and I can tell you 90% of them have no businesss working in aviation talk more of being regulators.

As for AIB, does ones do not have a single clue.

My opinion of the timeline of events is as follows:.

1. Pilot notices a major fault

2. Pilot contacts Ikeja ATC notifying them of an emergency

3. Pilot dumps fuel in anticipation of a forced landing in an urban area

4. Pilot must have lost engine power or rudder control or both

5. Chopper can't be controlled by pilot and goes into a spin (highlighting loss od rudder control)

6. Chopper crashes

7. Onlookers swarm the site

8. Police do nothing to secure the crash site.

9. Airline representatives visit site and ecuavate black box

10. AIB cones in and as clueless as they are come out with their useless conclusion

P S.

Worked as an Avionics Engineer with the USMC for 5yrs.
Well done fellow. �

Nairaland General › Re: How Did You Discover Nairaland? by Engrduke: 11:38am On Jul 05, 2020
Good question.

l was in my University's "Common Room" watching a World Cup match when rain cloud started forming and a heavy rain eventually ensued leading to loss of DSTV signal.

Everyone became furious and agitated for not being able to continue watching the match.
Suddenly,a guy screamed, "GOAL". We asked him for the source of his match update and his answer was "NAIRALAND". Immediately, I became a guest on NAIRALAND. And after some years, of being a guest, I decided to become a registered member.

I didn't believe the first version of the news earlier claiming of an imaginary cold war between Jagaban and Engr.Aregbesola.

It's natural to disagree and re-align in politics but Asiwaju and Aregbe are so dear to each other that it would be so hard before any grudges between them come to the public domain.

Education › Re: IPPIS: ASUU Plunged FG Into N800bn Debt, Says Ngige by Engrduke: 11:39am On Jun 01, 2020
kingi777:
The IPPIS doesn't have any package for payment of allowances to lecturers. Therefore, It's only the basic salaries they now earn. So how does federal government expect them to call off the strike and diligently work when they are forcefully enrolled into IPPIS and striping them of some allowances that make their salaries tangible.


BEFORE YOU CRITICISE THE LECTURERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS;

Take home salary for lecturers after IPPIS deduction without allowances:
PhD LII is #130,000
PhD LI is #163,000 plus min. 3 years post PhD
Senior Lecturer #235,000 plus min. 6years post PhD
Professor ��‍� #345,000 plus min. 10 years post PhD
Senior Professor ��‍� #423,000....
Minimum of 3years gap with hard work. Many spend as high as 5years before they can move up the ladder of promotions.

REMEMBER
From these peanuts of a pay;
They teach a crowd for a class
They supervise multitudes
They attend conferences from their pockets
They attend seminars from this peanuts
They write and publish articles in reputable journals (enquire the cost of publishing).....etc
They undergo rigorous stress to carry out research.
They spend minimum of 4 years in BSc
They spend minimum of 2 years in MSc
They spend minimum of 3 years in PhD (in Nigeria is near impossible they even spend upto 5 years and above).

Consider their rigours, the pain, the emotional trauma, physical drain, brain drain, intellectual drain they go through just to be qualified for their job specification...

I think our Lecturers work like elephants and earn like ants, they deserve a better pay or renumeration.

In terms of welfare:
You know that 50% of your lecturers don't have good offices/furnitures.
Most lecturers lack good working environment.
Most lecturers handle/teach a crowd of students yet they still try to deliver lectures in such environment (instead of the normal 30-50 students class size).
Most Lecturers supervise projects at their expense.
You want his best yet you deny him the best.

When you compare this salary with those of other Federal Govt agencies it's very very ridiculous.
If you compare it with Universities abroad then Nigeria �� salary scale for lecturers is infinitesimally small.

Before you criticise them;
First put yourself in their shoes.
Could you have studied to PhD just to earn #130,000?
Could you have invested the better part of your life upto Prof just to earn #345,000?
Think! They may not have been the best they should yet they are among the best in the world especially if they are giving the right environment to practice.

Before you criticise ASUU/Lecturers think.
Except you are happy with the state of the university system.

NO COUNTRY CAN GROW BEYOND IT'S VALUE FOR EDUCATION.

Copied and reviewed
Thank you.
Please can you provide me with the Universities Salary table or take-home pay before the implementation of the IPPIS Payment structure?
Thank you Sir.

Crime › Re: Woman Who Slapped Policeman 13 Times Arrested In Oyo by Engrduke: 11:18am On May 06, 2020
generationz:
Of course. I watched the video, he kept looking into the camera to make sure they were recording and telling his boys not to touch her.

Very wicked man.
Thank you. Those policemen just played a fast one on the woman,IGP and other Nigerians to enjoy public sympathy.
They didn't record or edited the part where the woman was being beaten.
Remember,a policeman was just dismissed in Osun State for severely beating a lady while enforcing the Covid-19 lockdown. So in order to escape the wrath of the IGP and Nigerians, they only captured the woman retaliating.

Trust Nigerian Police at your own peril.
They can manipulate a situation in their favour.
Crime › Re: Woman Who Slapped Policeman 13 Times Arrested In Oyo by Engrduke:
NextD18:
Do you know what it means to slap a Nigerian policeman 13 times? The guts!!

She's wayward, wild and very lucky she did that to a tolerating man, because a typical Nigerian policeman would have shot her to death out of anger.

They should please jail, prosecuted and penalized her thoroughly, because a woman who's capable of harassing a policeman in such manner can comfortably kill her husband or anyone around her.

She's a time bomb.
I wonder how many innocent men she has raped.
You spoke well, the woman was aggressive.
But trust Nigerian Police at your own peril.
Do you understand Yoruba?
It was obvious the police officer first roughhandled the woman and the junior policeman did not record that part. They were only interested in the part that will put them in the good book of Nigerians for not retaliating.

As the woman was beating him, she kept saying:
"Policeman, you were beatingme, you were giving me hot slaps when I did you no wrong. And you boasted that nobody can question you as you were working for the government. Does the government ask you to be beating me for doing no wrong? Why do you want to kill me?"

The above is part of what the woman was saying in Yoruba.

But the police was smart enough to enjoy public sympathy by editing the part of the video clip where the poor woman was being assaulted.
Remember that just few days ago,a similar situation happened in Osun State where a policeman was recorded beating a poor lady which consequently resulted to his dismissal. All in the name of enforcing the Covid-19 lockdown.
So, this time around, the police was smart enough to capture the woman's retaliation and not their own provocation. With this, the policeman in question has escaped the wrath of the IGP.

Please, FEAR POLICE. They can turn any case upside down to favour them.

This is serious.
What's the way forward now?
Lockdown/ staying at home is counterproductive.
Going back to the streets is inimical to our general health.
We are just in a precarious situation in Nigeria as far as COVID-19 is concerned.
