God bless the dead.

Well, time will tell.

Dereformer:
Another important reason is that the third class holders have less chances of leaving the bank since they are discriminated against in employment. The bank may be tired of employing 2.1/2.2 who will later leave them at short notice.

This may just be it.

Freaky Coincidences

This list presents places in Nigeria bearing the same name. I got to know of these somewhat trivial facts while I was perusing my atlas sometime ago. Some of these places sharing the same name are totally unrelated and differences in culture, religion, language etc. are not uncommon. It should also be noted that pronunciations could differ.

Ikoyi (Oyo) and Ikoyi (Lagos)
No doubt, the more famous of the two Ikoyis is the one in Lagos state. Ikoyi (Lagos) is one of the poshest places in Nigeria. Ikoyi (Oyo) is not far from Ogbomosho, a Yoruba town with a large population. It goes without saying that both Ikoyis are Yoruba towns.

Azare (Nasarawa) and Azare (Bauchi)
Chances are that the Azare you know is the one in Bauchi. It is no doubt bigger, and one of the largest towns in Bauchi State. Azare (Nasarawa) is a much smaller town located close to the border with Plateau State.
It (Azare, Nasarawa) came to limelight last year due to terrorist activities alleged to have been carried out by certain persons in the town.
Wuse (Nassarawa) and Wuse (Abuja)

Wuse (a district in Abuja) is bigger of the two. Though the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja lies within it) and Nasarawa share a border, the two Wuses are miles apart.

Makurdi (Kebbi) and Makurdi (Benue)
Saying that Makudi, Benue State is more well known is like saying that an omelette cannot be made without breaking an egg. Makurdi (Benue) is the capital of Benue State is located on the banks of Benue River and it hosts an airforce base. Makurdi (Kebbi) is a smaller town located close to the border with Niger state.

Ilesha (Kwara) and Ilesha (Osun)
Ilesha (Osun) is likely the one you know except, of course, you are from Ilesha (Kwara). Ilesha (Osun) is the largest town of the Ijesha people (a Yoruba sub-ethnic group) and one of the largest towns in Osun State and gold is found there. Ilesha (Kwara) hosts one of the campuses of Kwara State University.

Zaria (Kebbi) and Zaria (Kaduna)
The Zaria (Kaduna) is, by a wide margin, the more famous of the two. It’s one of the biggest cities in Nigeria. It was formerly known as Zazzau and was one of the original seven Hausa states. It hosts some establishments like Nigerian College of Aviation, Ahmadu Bello University, National Research Institute for Chemical Technology. Zaria (Kebbi) is a smaller town located close to the Niger River.

Ikotun (Kwara) and Ikotun (Lagos)
A railway line passes through the Ikotun in Kwara. It has a water dam. The one in Lagos is more popular, has a bigger population.

Kaiama (Kwara) and Kaiama (Bayelsa)
Kaiama in Bayelsa is more famous because it was the place of Kaiama Declaration and the hometown of Isaac Boro, the Niger Delta nationalist who fought for secession from Nigeria. Kaiama is also home to the NYSC orientation camp in Bayalsa State. Kaiama (Kwara) is a big Local Government Area with headquaters in Kaiama town. It is a Yoruba community. Ijaws own the Kaiama in Bayelsa.

Okuku (Cross River) and Okuku (Osun)
The two are small towns and are miles apart. Okuku (Osun) is the hometown of the former Governor of Osun state Olagunsoye Oyinlola. Okuku (Cross River) hosts the College of Medical Sciences of the Cross River State University of Technology. Both Okukus are located in the northern parts of their respective states.

Awajug: My bf is really confusing me, when we 1st met, he lied to me that he attends a pentecostal Church knowing fully well how I take my Christian life serious, he later opened up to me that he was a sabbatharian and that he only lied because he knew I wouldn't accept him if he told me d truth (which is true sha) I wanted to leave him but I was already in love him so I forgave him. Last wk, I decided to check his facebook inbox messages out of curiosity nd I discovered that he also smokes weed and I don't even know what to do/ say to him cos I'm so hooked to him, he is so loving, caring and doesn't cheat ( don't ask me hw I knw cos I have my ways) and I can tell he loves me from the way he looks at me, kisses me etc but I can't compromise my beliefs 4 him hw can I be with someone who told such a lie and hid such a thing from me? What can I do?

The bolded parts look contradictory, or i'm taking it too far?

hmm

brosun: From test trial, the world’s first vaccine to tackle malaria, a disease that threatens the life of about 3.3 billion worldwide, will soon be available in commercial quantity for the treatment of the disease.

British drug maker, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), is seeking regulatory approval to produce the malaria vaccine for sale, after trial data showed that it had cut the number of cases in African children.

Experts Tuesday welcomed the bid, saying they are optimistic about the possibility of the world's first vaccine being deployed to tame malaria, after the trial results.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), malaria, a mosquito-borne parasitic disease, kills hundreds of thousands of people worldwide yearly, with an estimated 219 million cases of the disease reported in 2010, causing an estimated 660,000 deaths.

But scientists said an effective vaccine was crucial to attempts to eradicate the disease instead of the drug regimen being used now to fight it.

The vaccine known as RTS,S was found to have almost halved the number of malaria cases in young children in the trial and to have reduced by about 25 per cent the number of malaria cases in infants.

GSK is developing RTS,S with the non-profit Path Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI), supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Researchers found out that the vaccine, which is being developed in the US, protected 12 out of 15 patients from the disease, when given in high doses.
The method is unusual because it involves injecting live but weakened malaria-causing parasites directly into patients to trigger immunity.

"Many millions of malaria cases fill the wards of our hospitals," said Halidou Tinto, a lead investigator on the RTS,S trial from Burkina Faso.

"Progress is being made with bed nets and other measures, but we need more tools to battle this terrible disease,” Tinto added.

The malaria trial was Africa's largest-ever clinical exercise involving almost 15,500 children in seven countries.

The findings were presented at a medical meeting in Durban, South Africa.http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/experts-welcome-world-s-first-malaria-vaccine/161115/
