EazyMoh:
Misplaced priority if you ask me. We shall all focus on production, production and production. Even our agricultural produce if properly processed can generate jobs and revenue for the state. Kano is not congested at all to deserve such project.

Do you know what a misplaced priority is? If production increases and all of Kano produces in million tonnes, how would they transport their goods and wares to consumers that need them in various parts of the State or other parts of Nigeria? Will they put it on their heads? Or you think that road transport is preferable to rail transport in such instances?
When we criticize, let's be sure it is based on facts and logic- only then will our criticisms achieve the their purpose and cause needed progressive changes. If every corresponding kobo of that $1.85b contract is spent as intended (and a big if), it would have been money well spent, and both the State and Nigeria will be the better for it. But to say such a developmental project that has the potential to revolutionalize the economic fortunes of the State is a misplaced project is in deed, a misplaced statement!

The world we see is deeper than how we just see it...It’s sad to think that no matter what you do in life, or how innocent something can be, there will always seem to be someone out there who will try to bring you down.

That was a picture of a man and his sick child in the shower. The man was calming his sick baby. I read about the picture on uk guardian or so some months ago. The picture was taken and uploaded by the man's wife. Some felt it was sensual and inappropriate. But opinionated people should also remember that the woman was also entitled to her opinion especially at such time of great pain and unease in her family.

Well, stories like dis is hard to believ atimes, i have similar issue with my MIL. When her son told her about our wedding plans @33yrs. She said no, dat he shd wait more n give her more money(he has been giving her since he got employed), he reused.N.B we gave her all our savings some months aFter wedding but i tell u we faced hell after but we overcame. after d wedding we lost our first child on d 3rd day n i was on bed 4 days . Next preg was ectopic n my hubby was retrenched but we prayed day n nite(we r born again) n today we r blessed with children though hubby is yet to be employed again. solution to ur problem is 4 u to give ur life to Christ both! Live a holy life and be united in prayer, u'll overcome them.some mothers r like dat, if u had taken another lady u'll probably have d same problem. They can not withstand seeing their son going with anoda woman. Dont be conf rontational it wont help. All d best. Sorry 4 any typo.

May God provide him a new and fulfilling job soon.

A black Man is is black man anywhere. Other white presidents usually build libararies but na house Obama build

I usually don't comment on threads but the ignorance and insensitivity displayed by your post were too much to ignore.

To clear your ignorance, first, Obama did not build the house- no where in that article said he did- you should read the piece again.

Second, after leaving office, a presidential library is to be built that would be dedicated to the Obama years in office. Talks have been on (for over a year now) on where that would be located. Some say Chicago is in the running to be selected.

Next time, be sure before you rush to type, lest you type and show others the depth of your knowledge. The poo you typed did show how little you knew about the subject matter. You wrongly concluded and then went on to insult not just Obama, but all black people. That's called stereotype or prejudice.

You should get an acknowledgement mail from them almost immediately

Thank you. It is done. I guess it was the network ish that caused the delay before.

He said he could transfer 10mil per day through diamond bank mobile app.

But people need to calm down, business isn't that easy. There are people doing that business before he came in, he hasn't told us how he managed to beat them in their own game. I do large scale importation of electric cable presently and I know what I battle with the big boys in Alaba.

Again, I don't think he just invested 56mil in his first trip. He must have done some small scale purchase in the past to understand the route better.

He is really good. I think he made a good decision by going into the tomato business. It is a fast moving item that is run by Hausas. His ability to speak Hausa fluently enabled him fit in properly. I think those clamoring to join him should take note of this.

Brother, good day. I just sent you a PM... Can you please reply or send me a message or your number? I have some clarifications and enlightenment to ask from you. Thanks

Former Nigerian boxer Francis Aiyegbeni (no, not former Nigerian football star, Yakubu Aiyegbeni) is dead! He was said to have passed away on Saturday May 7, at the University College Hospital, in Ibadan.

It was however disclosed that the hospitality mogul, who owned D’ Rovans hotel as well as Walan hotel had been struggling with partial stroke, as he suffered a crisis on Friday before being taken to the hospital.

Confirming the sad development, the secretary general of the Nigerian
Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C) Remi Aboderin said Nigeria has
lost a great personality, adding that the boxing family will miss
Ayegbeni a lot.

May God grant his soul and comfort his bereaved family.

Sheggy13:
Are you saying it's now working? Whatever combination that makes it work is fine and you should just stick to that.

Yes it is working.

Sheggy13:
Try changing to this imei first 356760051192291 and make the APN either one of these: internet.ng.airtel.com, blackberry.com or blackberry.net. Hope you also subscribed to the Airtel Blackberry Complete Plan by using this code *440*1#

Thanks so much, it is done. I used the other IMEI and internet.ng.zain.com. Hope that's fine?

Sheggy13:
Have you tried restarting your phone and dialling *#06# to see if the imei has changed to the new one? I'm guessing it's glo bis u wanna do and not airtel bb complete cos the kind of imei u entered there, right?

The one I did for a friend changed to a new IMEI, 356760051165297, but still it didn't work. What do you I do next?

Sheggy13:
First things first, hope you use an MTK phone. In other words, Chinese Android phones like tecno, Infinix, innjoo etc.
Secondly, hope you know how to check the imei of your phone, by dialing *#606# and how to change the imei of any of the sim slots, if your phone is dual-sim using an app like MTK Engineering mode or Mobile Uncle, and how to create a new APN and select it as default?
If your response to both questions are affirmative, then proceed with the steps outlined below :

Tweak this Blackberry 10 IMEI
356760051192 randomly add any three digit to it.

==>Go to this site: http://imei-number.com/imei-validation-check/

==>Input the known 12 digits e.g 356760051192 in the textbox provided on that site.

==>Add 3 digits to the already known 12 digits making 15 digits e.g
356760051192705 and click on validate IMEI button

==>If the random digit you choose is correct, it will display IMEI number is valid. But if the random digit is incorrect it will display IMEI number is not valid and suggest a valid one for you which you write down.

>>Then go ahead to change the imei of whichever SIM slots on your phone u want to the imei just generated and written down, using any of those apps I indicated earlier.

>>Create a new Access point from ur settings, make the name Airtel BBC and make the apn blackberry.com, leave other stuffs blank and save. Select this Access point as your default one when it shows on your list of Access points.

How Can I Activate the plan?
>>Subscribe to Airtel Blackberry Plan 3GB for N1,000 by dialing *431# and you should start surfing.

>>To check your data balance, dial *123*175#

For PC Users
Just activate the plan on your Android and use your Hotspot to connect to your PC.

Any issues? Lemme know. Cheers.

Good pm people.

I did over sabi on a friend's phone. The phone was on an Android subscription before. But I managed to successively change the IMEI to a bb q10 and the APN to blackberry.com, then subscribed for a new 1k for 3GB bundle but the Airtel sim wouldn't work. What could the problem be? And how can I fix it? Thanks

For some days now, the Nigerian social media has been awash with stories of Tiwa Savage and her crumbling pack of marriage cards. But Tiwa and her estranged husband are only humans after all. Again and again, humans make mistakes that hurt other humans. Could the breaking story of the falling apart of Tiwa's ill-fated marriage be a reflection of the larger society? Perhaps there are lessons for us all to learn. Please, come with me.

In 2014, Alt-Lit icon and magazine editor, Stephen Tully Dierks who had been prominent in the hip young "Alt-Lit" community and Alt-Lit's most famous author, Tao Lin, were separately accused of rape- those allegations took their toll, not just on their careers but also on their lives. Coming home, a Mobil Staff was recently accused of rape and indecent assault. He has since been arraigned in court not long afterwards. The other day, a writer and author with some beautiful works to his name was accused of raping a vulnerable lady. His alibi? The writer's weakness. What the heck that is, you might ask?
***
Well, one may be quick to say that such cases are common with celebrities and those in the show business. That would jumping to easy conclusions, a fallacy of hasty conclusions. No, not so fast. Such errors of judgement are common across different professions.
***
In the academic world, there have been cases of indiscretion on the part of University professors and erudite scholars. And by the way, doctors do not necessarily have better homes than actors, nor bankers than lawyers. It is not the profession that you belong that really matters, what makes or mars you is how you carry yourself, your decisions, your vulnerabilities, your sense of judgement or ill-judgment.
***
Research or academic career or many other might not be as drowning in image-laundering as show biz but fact is, everyone is vulnerable. Even scientists, and the noblest of men often make bad choices that leave them vulnerable, sad and broken.
***
Whilst Tiwa and Teebillz navigate through their stormy waters (and we do hope that they would soon reach a solid agreement/settlement that's in their both interests and their innocent, handsome boy's, Jamil), please do not be a judge in a matter that does not concern you from Adam, do not be fixated on finding who was right or wrong especially since you do not have all the information on what has truly been happening between them. Rather, be concerned about your own choices, about cravings you indulge in that could lead you down the same path. Don't be obsessed about Tiwa and Teebillz, be obsessed about your own little margin of error that narrows even slimmer every day, like a stuttering gush of yellow light.
***
Cry not forever for Tiwa, nor all week long for Teebillz. Cry for yourselves oh Nigerians, lest others weep for you. Save your tears, weep for yourself oh Land.
***
Our prayers are with Tiwa Savage and Teebillz. May this storm pass soon, one way or the other...

A toast to a brighter future.

Pls NLanders, i am confused on what to really go for.
I have only one choice to make from either Medical microbiology or Pharmaceutical Microbiology.
Pls gimme answer with reason so that i will know the more advantageous.

Quite funny the topic attracted no comment since it was posted. You might want to consider Pharmaceutical Microbiology...

TastyTuoyo:
I feel like strangling Buhari right now

I hope when he travels, his plane should crash into pieces.

May God have mercy on you. And may God protect the President and grant him safe return from this and other journeys and also success as he seeks to refocus the ship of country to greatness.
True, the country is tough at the moment, but things will get better, soon. Meanwhile, the President needs your support, not curses.

Jengbetiele:
To everyone reading this right now, please take a second to appreciate everything in your life. Tell your parents you love them. Call your best friends for hook up sometimes. Because you never know what can happen unpredictably. “May we not travel whenever the highway is hungry” like my folks would pray. I thank God for sparing my life and I still made it to the venue of interview that same day on time and passed. My friends said I should have gone back home immediately after the accident though.

Wow. Thank God for your life. May God heal all those wounded in the accident and give the families of those that might died the fortitude to bear the loss.
Congrats on your success at the interview. God grants you the best job there is and a career beyond your imaginations.
And by the way, thank you for that wonderful last paragraph.

JOOHEL:
good morning nairalanders and pet section. I just lost my female Gsd yesterday march 18 2016. she died around 1am . OK. to cut the long story short. I and my family moved to ikorodu area of Lagos. January and she came on heat February . during her heat days I looked around ikorodu and surfed the internet for dog breeders. I got one online that stays at itamaga.. on the 22nd and 23rd of February I took her to itamaga to cross with the male Gsd full slant back. after 2 weeks I started seeing symptoms in her . she lost appetite and she vommitted. she headly eats starch ie indomie,rice etc she was only concerned about the meat or fish or biscuit bone or canned food mixed with the indomie. she continued this thing until Tuesday this week. on Tuesday morning I strolled with her in our estate because she was looking weak and dull. before I took her out she excreted blood mixed with her shit after coming back I cooked indomie and sardines she ate them and slept . later that night she was restless when I checked her . she didn't sleep well she was restless . the next day being Wednesday her tongue was red , saw blood on her nose . she didn't eat. I gave her her favorite food. ie egg meat yoghurt etc she didn't eat . any time she wants to sit down she'll groan and make noise. she started stooling blood . she stood almost throughout the 'Day she hardly sits . we called on the vet doc and said she's aborting the puppies. so he said we should buy predilin 2 times daily for 4 days. I bought the drugs and gave her that evening but the pain was still there. I took her to the cage and left water inside the cage. around 12:30 am she was fast asleep 12:45am she started making noise and died. she bled tru her mouth and nose and anus . now I've been asking myself what could have killed her . the vet said it's from her liver but I cannot go with it. photos attached

Can you do a post mortem before buying its corpse so that you can rightly ascertain the cause of death rather than guesswork? I am afraid if it is anthrax, you could be at risk too, hence, the need for proper precautions.
Sorry on your loss.

No nation progresses beyond the quality of its civil service. In fact, a nation's civil service is a reflection of its values (and sometimes, its level of development). Great nations have well run, highly skilled, effective and professional public services. Poor nations have weak, low skilled, poorly managed but highly political public services.

All the talk of change will prove futile without a formidable civil service to help actualize the vision of the government of the day.

Going forward, what kind Civil Service does Nigeria really need?

One where:

- The ticket to your next pay or your fate on the job is what you add to the team and not where you come from or who you know.

- The Board is a real supervising board, and the management is steady and foreright, not a band of stooges, not rubber stamp lackeys of the DG or the Chief Executive.

- Workers would earn their salaries based on what they contribute to the system rather wait for some father Christmas to deliver to them their share of the national cake at the end of the month.

- No Governor, PM, DG or Chairman would pay N10million worth of salaries monthly but will not provide a mere N200,000 needed for logistics to get the work done and keep workers productive.

- Workers are exposed to conducive working environments, the right tools, training and re-training and an unwavering application of international best practices.

- Every worker in every government establishment has a clearly spelt out job description.

- Where every Naira made or spent is justified and accounted for.

The headline itself is somewhat misleading. Most people will misinterpret this statement credited to Alhaji Lai Mohammed- perhaps because of the disposition of the speaker and his previous gaffes.

But on this, one might think he meant well. In a liberal economy, government's business is not really to employ people, but to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive which then allows the private sector to drive employment creation.

The question for Mr. Lai Mohammed, how and when will the enabling environment be created? What's the plan? It's nine months already!

Well, this man somewhat looks like a brother to one of the most popular Nigerian politicians on Twitter, "commonsense" Senator Ben Murray Bruce!
I stumbled on him on an interview on CCTV News earlier today.

Abi na my eye?

HungerBAD:
Nice.

I will be selfish to tell God to pick my call, since my call has been picked up a long time ago. So, my prayers is that God opens the doors of those that wants their doors opened like this woman.

That's a warped assumption. Why do you think ladies (not least Jumoke) must sleep around to make it to the top?
Change that thinking, abeg.

NobleAngell:
U believe everything that happens comes from God. So was it God that asked u to become an imposter? Nonsense talk. Just pray the court rules in your favour if not that march27 wedding will hold but WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

You must be a very no-nonsense person in real life. Haba, you no even pity that guy... lol..
Well I couldn't help laughing too when I read that funny comment from him that he knew everything that happens was from God. So much for religion that you clouds the mind!
