This is JSS geometry.
D) 60deg. Angles in a circle = 360. Since there are 12 chords, angle at the inside of each chord triangle is 30, the sides of the chords 75 each (angle inside triangle = 180). Including the ones on the other coin = 75×4 = 300. So x is 60. (Angle round a circle is 360deg) |

Explorers: 32. Portability: Oil rigs, unlike their predecessors from the early days of oil drilling, are quite portable, and can be transported from one drilling site to the next. The tall derrick located on the oil rigs contains the drilling pipe and bits necessary to pierce the bedrock in search of oil. When the oil rig has pumped all of the available oil from the location, the well is sealed and the pipe equipment is hauled back onto the rig. A large ship or tug boat(s) then tows the rig to its next destination. Correction please. The offshore rig only drills and moves away. It does not pump out oil from the ground. A production platform, well heads and pipelines are used for the actual oil extraction. |

TIMEISWISDOM: What was his father's contributions to his success? Do you know that he won from an opposition party and wasn't even a favourite prior to the polls. But he succeeded in communicating his ideas and was voted in by the masses. The case is Nigeria is where we complain our leaders have failed us and still vote the same set of people into power. It is only a fool that does the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. Our fathers has failed us woefuly, we should try out another section of our society in leadership. The situation in Nigeria is not the same so we should not expect similar results. The masses lack economic and military power. The political elite control the sources of wealth (mineral exploitation and export) and coercive power of the state. THEY form and control the political parties. Is it not who is fielded by the parties that are voted for? Besides voting is widely influenced by bribery, intimidation, violence, and even outright rigging. Until the masses achieve a level of economic independence and are politically empowered (radicalized, if you will) they will laçk the force to project their will on the elite. |

Mega005: Gud! what nonsense? I aint * tribal bigot but I don't like when some people behave senselessly in another man's land and protect ther own jealously.. What is d nid for eze indi-whatever in a yoruba land?? Its so absurb and unnecesary..
I don't mind them having a chairman or president representing to protect the interest of igbos leaving and working in another mans land.l Its high time d true igbo leaders call their men to order in strong words.. You just said it (bolded). Translated to vernacular, thats what eze ndi igbo really means, because the IGBO KNOWS NO KING - IGBO AMAGHI EZE. Igbos dont have or recognize kingship. Igbos are a republican people in the tradition of ancient Greece-the fountain of modern democracy. Igbo culture knows the concept of kingship hence the word EZE, but has rejected it in favour of republican democracy. This suggests that historically, they used to have kings or were part of a people with kingship traditions, before recognising the evils of tyranny thereof. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The deji need have no fear of rivalry from a parallel igbo king, because it doesnt exist. That qualifier ndi-igbo to the eze signifies that the title is synonymous with the word president, or chairman. It's all a cultural misunderstanding facilitated by Ego. |

You are right that our leaders have failed us. But they have not failed their masters ( the ex-colonial powers) who groomed and put them in place as youngsters. But the problem with today's youth is that their seniors failed to groom them as proper leaders of a progressive society. That is why you have seen a steady and continous degradation in educational standards from high standards at independence to the mockery it is now. Today's youth are simple victims of harsh economic and social circumstances that have left them intellectually stunted. Go to political gatherings: what calls themselves youth are late 30s, 40s and 50s. Because in todays nigerian economy 20s can hardly fend for themselves not to talk of leadership. No. The present youthful generation cant lead now. They still need time to mature. Or perhaps the baton will bypass them to their children, if they would undertake to orient that generation. |

TIMEISWISDOM: Such my brother is the pathetic case of Africa whose failed leaders either hold onto power or continues to rotate it within few failed individuals.
only a failed leader holds onto power or wants more of it else if a leader has given his all, it is very easy for such a leader to relinquish power .History tells me this I thought you should be saying this about trudeau who's father was prime minister before him. You call that genuine democracy? We African s should be confident and formulate our own unique political systems like china ( and the west themselves) has done and not follow the west sheepishly. Every country is unique. There is no one size fits all formular for political and economic advancement. |

Truckpusher: Keep deluding yourself in your phantom world.
Yes! Port Harcourt was renamed after a white man no doubt just like every colonized place on the face of the earth - Today Lagos formerly known as Eko was renamed by colonialists or visiting Portuguese sailors ,can't really rap my head around the story-line right now but the fact remains that the city that makes up Port Harcourt were all collections of different towns and villages belonging to the Ikwerres and some parts belonging to the Okrika people especially the Abuloma and Amadi Ama and Town (Bolokiri,NPA and Yamzi waterside) axis . So, what are you trying to prove here?
I even heard one stupid story from one of your IPOB touts ,how Igbos use to come over to Port Harcourt to farm before colonization....smh 
With the lies you guys are spreading so far, I think it is practically impossible to have your phantom Biafra. Honestly. Pls check your history. PHC of the colonial era was a new town in an area known as ugwuocha and consisted of only phc township, old gra, diobu, the sea port and railway station. Everywhere else from present eleme flyover to mile1 flyover was uninhabited bush. Igbos populated diobu and constituted a majority in the new town. Research the idea of biafra first before condemning it. It was and is the last beacon of hope for the the african; indeed the entire black race. The idea of a totally black indegenous MORDERN state. All other african states except ethiopia are ofcourse, foreign constructions. I am not saying that it can be realized in the manner and form that is being preached though. |

Awolowo was (37), Akintola (36), Ahmadu Bello (36), Effiong (36), Balewa (34) and Okotie-Eboh (27), Enahoro (27) led the struggle for independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time. In 1966, the first coup was led by: Kaduna Nzeogwu (29) and countered by Murtala Mohammed (28), Theophilus Danjuma (28), Babangida (25), Nanven Garba (23), Sani Abacha (23), Shehu Musa Yaradua (23), and brought into power Gowon (32), Ojukwu (33), Obasanjo (29), Buhari (24). Most of the military administrators who governed the states under the successive military regimes, most of whom are governors now, were under 30 years. The brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw the House of Representativesin particular populated by majority of members under 30 years as well as some senators. Under 30s were also not in short supply with appointments, we have examples of M.T. Mbu who became foreign affairs minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a presidential adviser at 27 and so on and so forth. NOW: Why is it that this age bracket is today still sleeping in 3 seater chairs in their parents’ homes? Why is it that this age bracket is today still collecting pocket money from their parents? Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB? Why is it that this age bracket is today still sagging their trousers? Why is it that this age bracket is today still searching for jobs? Why is it that this age bracket is today no longer qualified to even be leaders of youth wings of political parties? Why is it that this age bracket is today so docile? Why is it that this age bracket is today still incapable of feeding itself? Why is it that this age bracket is today barred by law from even aspiring to certain political offices? Why is it that this age bracket is today incapacitated, unwilling, unable and incapable of asking questions? Why are they not bordered?

Op has a point.
The reason is that the crop of leaders now were selected by the colonial whites in a painstaking competitive process to change the baton of government from white to black. They used the çrop of youngsters they had recently trained (indoctrinated). This group of elite is still in power hence there are few vacancies. The few vacancies are filled by children of this elite ln their youth |

Portions of east/west road between ughelli and ahoada may be submerged by early november this year. Already the river Niger has overflowed its topmost bank levels and water level at many parts of the road are less than 1.5m below road levels. If the water continues rising at the current rate because of the heavy and longer rainy season in the region this year, we can expect some parts of the road to shut down as happened in 2012. |

Adaeze003: Trust me, I had more than that to say to you but tried to be as respectful as possible given the situation.
So, on that note, I think you should tell all the girls you are related to to stay idle and not go after their goals just so that they can get married(again, how shallow can a human get?!). Also extend my sympathy to those that will listen.
You lot are just too sad. Far from it. I am pro feminism. Just responding to rapidly changing social realities. What goal is more grand (for a human being) than the replication of yourself. Every goal ought to be subordinated to that religious and biological injunction. The ultimate goal of all life forms on the planet is to reproduce themselves before their inevitable personal demise. Think about it. The most brilliant, strongest, creative individual on earth has ultimately failed (evolutionarily speaking) if they fail to deposit offspring that inherits and manifests their wonderful talents. |

Most of this is balderdash. The said jobs you allege young women have taken from young men are all clerical and administrative of which women have a comparative advantage. In Engineering ànd construction industries, the preponderance is male. Any accidental female sticks out oddly.
Its unfortunate that our young generation of males are becoming effeminate to the extent of contemplating subjecting themselves under a woman breadwinner.
Young men should go for manly careers in engineering, construction, fabrication, mineral exploration, etc where women fear to thread and you will see your only competition will be tougher males.
As for those ladies who allowed themselves to grow above marriageability, I dont advise any young man to subject himself under them. If you are manly, you will surely regret being spoonfed by a woman; except you are not. Those ladies are best served being single mothers. Society should be realistic enough and accept it.
A wife is a helper, not the other way round.
The only thing stopping young men getting married is unneccesary ambition and cowardice. As soon as you can feed yourself and can afford that one room apartment, you are set for marriage. Those 45+ managers and bosses also started from humble beginnings.
I mean life in naija was as tough as hell in the late 1980s and 1990s, compared to the seeming paradise ( 21st century oil boom) of Now. |
