Politics / Aliens Getting Ready To Attack by heroes1983(m): 8:26am On Mar 07, 2012 |
Was just browsing sha and came across this. What do you think? (http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/37339/alien-spaceships-closing-in-on-earth/) NASA confirmed that three alien spaceships are on track to arrive in Earth’s atmosphere at the end of November, 2011. WWN has been the only media outlet reporting on the ongoing alien invasion – and the three massive aliens spaceships headed for Earth, with an expected ETA of November 27, 2011. But recently NASA has confirmed WWN’s reportage and now researchers at major universities are also confirming that there is a 97% likelihood that aliens will arrive in November, 2011. Many researches believe that the aliens are coming to wipe us out because they think Earthlings are irresponsible, expanding too quickly, and our destroying our planet. The researchers point to humanity’s own history of hostility toward unfamiliar humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas as evidence that the superior aliens will be hostile toward humans. Professor Banesh Bannerjee of M.I.T said, “Just as we did to those beings, the extraterrestrials might proceed to kill, infect, dissect, conquer, displace or enslave us, stuff us as specimens for their museums or pickle our skulls and use us for medical research,” in a study,published in the journal Acta Astronautica. But the leading extraterrestrial experts disagree. Dr. John Malley, of the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials, has said that the aliens are coming in peace, but if humans become hostile toward them – they will attack. “Humans are facing a critical decision point. We either deal with the aliens in a peaceful manner – or we face total annihilation,” Malley told WWN. The SETI Institue, which studies extraterrestrial intelligence, which will be relaunching in September, say that the aliens heading for earth will have to be more technologically advanced than us to even communicate properly. And if they have more advanced technology than us, they could come to harm us. “A core concern is that ETI will learn of our presence and quickly travel to Earth to eat or enslave us,” says Bannerjee. Dr. Malley has been researching and studying the alien invasion for twenty year and firmly believes that the aliens are coming to help Earth, not harm it. He originally identified the aliens as coming from Planet Zeeba, but just this week he crunched the data and told WWN that the aliens in the three spaceships are from Planet Gootan. “The aliens from Planet Gootan are similar to the aliens from Planet Zeeba. Both planets are just outside the Milky Way and they both have a similar atmosphere to earth. Here’s what the U.N. Panel on Extraterrestrials believe a Gootan looks like: Malley says that the Gootans actually are considered to be more intelligent than the Zeebans and he is even more hopeful that the ongoing alien invasion will be beneficial to the human race. “We just need leaders who are willing to interact with the Gootans in an enlightened manner.” There’s only three months until the Gootans arrive… it’s time to prepare. |
Education / Re: How Do I Get A Scholarship? by heroes1983(m): 6:21pm On Feb 10, 2012 |
There is no such thing as full undergraduate scholarship in UK or USA sponsored by the university for first time comers from Nigeria. Scholarships are possible if you already a resident or already have a visa. The available scholarships are either part paid or sponsored by a third third party. You would have to have an exceptionally wonderfully unique result or quality then apply through these sponsoring bodies. Or you have someone there already that can recommend you. Full time scholarships are for post grads. ill advice you try other less popular countries. |
Phones / Re: Android: How To Solve Excessive Bandwidth Usage On Your Phone by heroes1983(m): 2:05pm On Jan 18, 2012 |
I wonder why this long story. if you are using 2.2, simply go to settings, then to wireless and network, scroll down to mobile networks and open. in it you will find data enabled, just remove the tick by it. then you phone would not connect to data transfer until the tick is placed back. or better still you can download go launcher from market and further download go widget 'switch'. after this on your main screen long tap on an empty space, on add to screen choose Go widget, and furter choose switch. when switch is added on screen tab the 3 dots on the right to open its settings. tab on settings then shift mobile network to be on the top 6 . on pressing ok. You can on or off network data tranfer on your screen |

Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i, speaking at an orientation ceremony for the scholars departing to Russia and Ukraine, late Wednesday, urged them to be worthy ambassadors of Nigeria and avoid all forms defiance behaviour that would put the country in a bad light. “Let me state here that to whom much is given, much is expected. We have gathered you here to urge you to keep the flag flying, just as your predecessors have done in the past. You have to be morally and academically sound, remain focused and dedicated to your studies as you know that hard work never goes unrewarded.” She said.

Crime / Nigerian jailed for $100 Million Worth Of Cocaine by heroes1983(m): 6:50am On Sep 08, 2011 |
NIGERIAN NARCOTICS TRAFFICKER AND RUSSIAN PILOT CONVICTED ON INTERNATIONAL COCAINE CONSPIRACY CHARGES IN MANHATTAN FEDERAL COURT Two Defendants Convicted For Conspiring To Traffic More Than $100 Million Worth Of Cocaine In Culmination Of Historic Joint Undercover Operation In Republic Of Liberia PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that CHIGBO PETER UMEH and KONSTANTIN YAROSHENKO, participants in an international narcotics trafficking ring, were convicted today in Manhattan federal court of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States. Their convictions are the culmination of a historic, joint undercover operation, "Operation Relentless," between the United States and the Republic of Liberia. The jury acquitted defendants NATHANIEL FRENCH and KUDUFIA MAWUKO, who had been charged along with UMEH and YAROSHENKO. United States District Judge JED S. RAKOFF presided over the three week trial. Manhattan U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: "Today's guilty verdicts against Chigbo Peter Umeh and Konstantin Yaroshenko deal a blow to the international drug trade and demonstrate the power of global cooperation. The DEA's bold undercover operation, aided by the Republic of Liberia and our other law enforcement partners abroad, succeeded in disrupting a dangerous network of South American-based narcotics traffickers, who conspired to exploit West African countries as trans-shipment hubs for tons of cocaine. As a result of unprecedented international teamwork among the U.S., Liberia and other nations, this Office was able to prosecute these pushers of poison and bring them to justice." According to the trial evidence and other documents filed in the case: During the last decade, drug trafficking organizations based in South America have increasingly used countries along or near the West African coast as trans-shipment hubs for importing massive quantities of cocaine to be later distributed in Europe or elsewhere within Africa. Through a combination of privately owned aircraft and maritime vessels, these organizations, predominantly based in Colombia and Venezuela, have transported hundreds of tons of cocaine, worth billions of dollars, to places such as Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Sierra Leone, Togo, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, and Liberia. In so doing, representatives of these drug trafficking organizations have often sought to bribe high-level public officials with large cash payments and narcotics in order to ensure the safe passage, storage, and distribution of their cocaine shipments. UMEH and YAROSHENKO attempted to bribe high-level officials in the Liberian Government, in order to protect shipments of vast quantities of cocaine, and to use Liberia as a trans-shipment point for further distribution of the cocaine in Africa and Europe. In particular, UMEH met with two individuals he knew to be Liberian government officials. These two officials, the Director and Deputy Director of the Republic of Liberia National Security Agency ("RLNSA", both of whom were in fact were working with the DEA in an undercover capacity. The Director of the RLNSA is also the son of the current President of Liberia. In a number of the meetings involving these Liberian officials, UMEH and YAROSHENKO also met with a confidential source working with DEA (the "CS", who purported to be a business partner and confidante of the Director of the RLNSA. In seeking to ensure the safe passage of the cocaine shipments, UMEH and YAROSHENKO agreed to make payments to the Director and the Deputy Director of the RLNSA in cash and also in the form of cocaine. The CS advised them that a portion of the cocaine paid to the CS would be transported from Liberia to Ghana, from where it would be imported into New York. UMEH, who is from Nigeria, was a broker who assisted various international narcotics suppliers in shipping numerous tons of cocaine from South America to West Africa, from where the cocaine was transported to Europe or elsewhere within Africa. YAROSHENKO, who is from Russia, was an aircraft pilot and aviation transport expert who transported thousand-kilogram quantities of cocaine throughout South America, Africa, and Europe. UMEH and YAROSHENKO participated in a series of face- to-face meetings and phone conversations with the cooperating Liberian officials and the CS in connection with at least three different shipments of cocaine that they were trying to transport through Liberia: (1) a shipment of approximately 4,000 kilograms, -2- which was to be flown from Venezuela to Monrovia, Liberia, and the retail value of which was over $100 million; (2) a shipment of approximately 1,500 kilograms, which was to be flown from Venezuela to Monrovia, Liberia, on an aircraft originating in Panama; and (3) a shipment of approximately 500 kilograms of cocaine, which was to be transported by a ship from Venezuela to a location off the coast of Liberia. Through these meetings, they understood that once the cocaine was transported to Liberia, a portion of the shipment (representing the payment to the CS) would be transported into Ghana, from where it would be placed on a commercial flight destined for the United States. During a meeting in Monrovia, UMEH stated that the 4,000 kilograms of cocaine which the conspiracy intended to import into Liberia had been supplied and protected by the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (the "FARC". The FARC is an international terrorist group dedicated to the violent overthrow of the democratically elected Government of Colombia. On May 28 and 29, 2010, UMEH and YAROSHENKO were arrested in Liberia. They were transferred by the Government of Liberia to the custody of the United States to face trafficking charges in the Southern District of New York. JORGE IVAN SALAZAR CASTANO and MARCEL ACEVEDO SARMIENTO were also charged with UMEH and YAROSHENKO. SALAZAR CASTANO is incarcerated in Spain and ACEVEDO SARMIENTO is in Colombia, awaiting extradition to the United States. * * UMEH, 43, faces a mandatory prison, and a maximum term of life in faces a mandatory minimum term of ten maximum term of life in prison. They sentenced by Judge RAKOFF on July 28, Mr. BHARARA praised the work of the Special Operations Division of the DEA, the DEA Lagos Country Office, the DEA Warsaw Country Office, the DEA Bogota Country Office, the DEA Rome Country Office, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of International Affairs, and the U.S. State Department. He also thanked the U.S. Embassy in Liberia, the Republic of Liberia and its National Security Agency, and the Security Services of Ukraine for their efforts. This prosecution is being handled by the Office's Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit. Assistant United States Attorneys JENNA M. DABBS, CHRISTOPHER LAVIGNE, RANDALL JACKSON, and MICHAEL M.

Career / Re: Making A Career In Clinical Research by heroes1983(m): 4:35pm On Nov 13, 2010 |
You are right about the future development in medical research. Distance or e-learning courses in anything clinical (apart from clinical management related courses) is at least for now not possible. Its best you enroll full or part time into an instituion. If you really have enough money for an e-learning degree, i bet you can afford going to the West to study. |

sleekch1c:i never expected this thread to turn into a tongue lashing room. I have seen your profile pic and you are pretty (if that is actually you) so i would try as much as possible to be a gentleman. * i like girls black or white * i would prefer to spend my life with a girl with identical cultural and traditional background as mine, as this would prevent alot of problems in the family * nigerian girls to be specific are too materialistic and are even proud of it while girls from most nationalities aren't. hope you are as much as smart as you are pretty to make the right deductions. By the way your last statement 'then marry your money' drives home and proves my point. Why should money have been the first thing to have come to your mind. Please lady i hope you aren't what you want me to believe you are cos your beauty would have been a waste. |

I read some comments from some females and i just weep for the sisters. Are you all really that materialistic? If not what percentage of you are sane and normal, just to give a brother some hope. If you think you have enough money in your hands try then please to spend an equal amount as the guys spend on you on them. Most of you would end up getting married to divorced men and men with grey hair. |
