Politics / Re: Presidency Ordered Probe Of Anthony Okolie Using Hanan Buhari’s Old Line – DSS by Hearme(m): 11:43pm On Feb 29, 2020
tsephanyah:
MTN, has argued that it did not transfer absolute right of ownership of the SIM card to Okolie because it was a national asset, which cannot be personalised.

DSS arrested okalie because he tried to defraud people. He is lucky Hanan didn't filed lawsuit against him in the first place.

Okolie employed the services of female accomplices, who could speak Hausa to pretend to be the president’s daughter.

After spending 10 weeks in jail for allegedly using an MTN SIM card previously owned by President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Hanan, a security source has explained why Anthony Okolie was arrested by officers of the Department of State Security.

According to TheNation, the source said Okolie was arrested and jailed because he was using the number to defraud unsuspecting persons.

The source said Okolie decided to use it to make money for himself after realizing that the number was previously owned by Hanan due to the calls he was receiving.

In order to extort money from unsuspecting victims, Okolie was said to have employed the services of female accomplices, who could speak Hausa to pretend to be the president’s daughter.

Stop fooling yourself. The guy wouldn't have gone to court with all this your supposed explanation for the DSS and the first family. How come a simple issue like that took that long and the guy was never charged to court by the DSS. They messed up in this case. They should have apologized to him and pay him compensation on their own (sure that the guy asking someone for 5k will jump at an opportunity of 500k from DSS as compensation for unlawful detention)
It's another case not handled properly. Now it's an headline everywhere and also bringing embarrassment to the first family

Education / Re: Nigerian Lecturers Spend Tetfund Research Grants On Cars, Houses – Tetfund by Hearme(m): 3:28pm On Feb 12, 2020
HigherEd:
Corruption is a culture in Nigeria. No wonder world bank boycotted Public varsities and funded Redeemers, why IMF boycotted public schools and funded Covenant

I don't agree with you. Several FG universities won different centers of Excellence grants, last year. TETFUND should stop making noise up and down. You can imagine applying yearly for conference grant both foreign and local and you never get any for the past 8 years won't you feel there process itself is a scam. Every year you attach 2 passports don't you feel people will get tired if they don't see transparency in how they select who gets the grants.

Kudos to them on NRF funds, however if you have about 100 application from a University and only 1 or 2 are granted because of qouta system and geopolitical spread, why come to the public and say people are not applying?

For those corrupt persons, what measures has TETFUND taken to stop them or make them pay back. Imagine applying for 1million soft reasearch grant this year and you get approval next year and funds are not released till after 6months. How are they working to tackle bureaucracy? Cost differences in dollars, taxing of research items for University researchers by Customs etc, it's even worse when you use ur salary to import needed items for research and they bring bill for customs charge to you as if the item is for buisiness.

They had better run workshops with stakeholders in each schools and find out how to improve on theirselves rather than go spend taxpayers fund in Dubai. However, I commend our little start but they can do better, they can borrow ideas from South Africa and India on how they run thiers. Enough of noise making Nigerians it's time to work.

NOTE: For all grants the researchers have their own percentage as honorarium, so the question is not that there are no ideas it's more that there are no FUNDS or the process for receiving the fund is not clear or full of unnecessary bottlenecks.

We have researchers traveling in and out of the country yearly for fellowships, Post doctoral researches etc and also receive grants from NIH here in Nigeria. if they do it well outside the country and also administer NIH grants and others well here in Nigeria. Then, that should tell you that there is a problem at Home (TETFUND).

Why call a Prof a Senior Lecturer?

Graduate Assistant
Assistant Lecturer
Lecturer II
Lecturer I
Senior Lecturer
Associate Professor/Reader
Professor

This is the ranking in the University for Academics. So a professor can not be a Senior Lecturer at the same time.

These are the strategies of fraudsters,most bank frauds are perpetrated on weekends so that you won't be opportune to go to your bank to complain.They actually know that response to complain through social media by bank or any organization in Nigeria is poor.May God help you to recover your hard-earned money back from these lazy folks

Exactly, mine was on a Saturday morning, Jan 11. Card not missing but items bought on eBay. Thank God I just paid children's school fees two days before then. So they met very little. I however blocked the card, called customer service, reported to the bank on Monday, contacted the person to cancel the order (but I guess he is working together with the theif, as the seller on eBay is yet to reply to my several emails), I await bank response within 45 days.

Everyone should know the codes to hotlist their card. Don't wait for a second alert just block it once you see it.

If you want to be autonomous, you must take a full responsibilities of paying yourself the salaries and wages you think you deserve as well.


More than 70% members of the University workforce are duely registered already.
This are this wise ones who knows what they're doing...

Health / Re: The Big Exercise Question: Is Your Workout Routine Working Out For You by Hearme(m): 11:52am On Jan 03, 2020
-Exercising in the morning will help you burn calories all day long
Fact: your body will quickly return to its pre-workout metabolism rate, so you may only burn an extra 10 to 25 calories after your workout is over.


- [b]Exercising 15 minutes a day, 3 days a week is enough for good health
Think again! People need a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise at least 3 days a week. And that means working up a sweat.

In Europe, you have heaters in your rooms, trains, buses and offices. Here in Nija (Jos), they don't have those essiential needs to combat cold. They seal up windows, burn firewoods and charcoal, refuse to bath untill it's noon, they don't have regular power supply etc.

If Nigeria experiences 0 degree generally for 2 weeks then Nigeria will have had a big share of Natural disaster. Because it will wipe out so many homeless and poor people. Many will develop Pneumonia.

My thought as well. A careless electric cable somewhere could lead to this. However, if there were other people swimming at same time then electrocution can be ruled out.

On a lighter note, do people swim during winter? Does the pool has heater? I think Ayeparty might be involved.

Education / Re: TETFUND Projects In Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma - Thompson Jotham by Hearme(m): 8:17pm On Nov 11, 2019
justflow1:
young man this is a TETFUND assisted project. its a direct disbursement from the till of Tertiary Education Tax TET (every company in Nigeria is expected to pay 2% of their assessable profit as Education Tax, just so to foster edu development in the country it is a fiduciary Fund held in trust by the FG which disbursement is made to Higher Institutions of learning 50:25:25 ratio for uni, poly, COE respectively on intervals..... so it is not in anyway a FG funding as you have thought!

In addition, that is also one of the Brian child of ASUU struggle in the 90s. When IBB called it ETF to include secondary and primary schools. However, ASUU continued her pursuit until it was appropriately named TETFUND. Most projects in state and federal Universities today are from TETFUND.
Education / Re: IPPIS: ASUU To Meet NASS Leaders In Fight Against Payroll System Controversy by Hearme(m): 3:36pm On Oct 28, 2019
The blind calling the person who can see blind. Is it the same FG that is struggling with 2009 agreement with ASUU that you want ASUU to trust totally? FG should create the platform that captures ASUU's concerns and their allowances and see if they will not embrace it.

gaetano:
Why ASUU is against newly introduced IPPIS

1. Some lecturers work in more than one university
2. The current payment system allow arbitrary deductions by ASUU from it members salaries
3. Thousands of dead lecturers still exist on the payroll reason why some VCs support ASUU


ASUU is becoming increasingly irresponsible. If they are talking about university autonomy as the reason for rejecting IPPIS, then they should be ready to ask the government to stop all forms of funding to the universities to make the autonomy complete.

Without that defence and Allison. Liverpool would have fought for top four and not league. Man City would have been run away champions. Even Man U rushed to buy Maguire thinking their problems will be solved but Leciester collected money and is still ahead of United on the table. VVD is good abeg and he does it with no too much stress. Should Mane or Salah have won the award I am sure many won't complain. Enough of giving it all to attackers. Defenders or creative players deserve this awards too based on their statistics.

Nevertheless, football might never see another Messi and Ronaldo like players in another 100 years.
