3. NBC: Another famous one, anyone over 50 will connect NBC with a Peacock. Ever since they came out with their new logo though, the peacock has been a little harder to spot.

2. Feed Ex: This is probably one of the most famous logos in this category. Just in case you’re somehow out of the loop, look between the “E” and the “x”. In the white space there is an arrow that subliminally represents speed and precision.

There are so many things hidden on the famous logos of many different companies. However, we fail to notice most of them. Here's a top 5 list of some of the hidden things on famous logos:

1. LG: While Pac Man has a way of showing up in strange places, how about the LG logo? All you have to do is tilt it a little to the right and then shift the “nose” upwards. South Koreans are awesome.

The northern part of Nigeria is the most slow in terms of education and infrastructure. Poverty has also made life unbearable for some northerners. Do we deserve an "accolade" for all these? Of course not!
As a northerner, these notorious "achievements" stab my heart with anguish and sorrow. I wish I can do much, and I hope my little write-up will edify the minds of many northerners.
The myriads of problems in the northern part of Nigeria emanated mostly from the ignoramous tendencies of some northerners. Though, some of our callous politicans are responsible for these problems. The "looters" from amongst the politicans, who were described as "Ambassadors of Poverty" by Nigerian poet, Philiph Umeh, are only interested in improving the size and quantity of their pockets.
Sometimes, I don't blame the southerners who rightly criticize the north. Their streets are littered with many ferlon beggars, many who are of northern extraction. Although, there are beggars from the south, but many are oblivious of their existence.
Education and enlightenment is the medication for most of these problems. However, many parents in the north see this medication as "worthless" or "too expensive" to afford, even though they may have the pecuniary means to afford it.
Somewhere in the north-east, I know a rich man, whom I believe is one of the richest men from his L.G.A. Only about 5% out of his many children attended a school. He decides who will school and who will not. Although, I don't totally loathe his decesion, for he takes care of all his children with his money, and bring them up properly.
Do not be surprised to see one man in the north with about fifty children. Most men with such children marry and divorce new wives continuously, as if they were an institution that graduates and admits new candidates. Ironically, poor men practice this form of lifestyle more than the rich, thereby placing on their shoulders elephant-weight responsibilities too big to handle. In homes like this, they usually depend on tuwo and "miyan-kuka" for a three-square meal.
Emir Sanusi of Kano once urged poor men to practice a monygamous form of marriage. If only they can listen to this! Polygamy is not as bad as it may be depicted here, but even the best thing in the world can be screwed-up if not handled or practiced properly.
The men who get involved in this dirty practice usually have nothing good doing to cater for the needs of their "mammoth" family. Children from such homes suffer more from the foolish decesions of their parents. Most of the boys get enrolled into an "Almajiri Academy," where they are expected to be inculcated with Islamic teachings. Gone are those days when most of the almajiris were pious and upright. The Almajiri Academies of today only worsen the illiteracy and ignorance of their students. Some now even engage in aberrant practices such as drinking and smoking.

mujibson:
what's ur state of origin?

Am from Yobe state. Any hope?

Obi1kenobi:
What does university admission have to do with tolerance? "Tolerance" is a guy from Kano with 226 gaining admission to study Medicine and Surgery in UNN based on coming from an "educationally disadvantaged" zone while a boy/girl from Anambra or Imo with 286 cannot meet the merit cut-off for their states in a school that is supposed to be in his "Catchment area". I knew such a boy who was my first year roomie in UNN with a dad from Kaduna married to a mum from Enugu and he utilized this to study Medicine even though he scored far below the required cut-off. Southerners study in the North because Northerners do not have enough qualified students to exhaust their admission slots. It has nothing to do with "tolerance". Core Northerners are the most intolerant group in the country.

What is this one saying? How many northerners are in UNN despite the "educationally less-privileged" bullshit? Which Northern university even has Imo and Anambra as "catchement area?" Me that applied for Law in 2016 at UNILAG with a 287 UTME score was I even considered?

Katun001:
No date yet for now, but probably by August shall... no time start preparing it can be even be earlier than that

Wow! Is it true they hardly repeat questions? That's what someone told me.

Wow! It's not just his time to die.

What is left to hear in this world that I'll waste this kind of money? My N500 Earphone don do me ooh.

Kingpee2:
i can see that you have Ice added to your name ,you must be from the north ,it pains when you are being insulted with the truth. .

Which truth? It only depicts how hypocritical you are. You call northerners names, but you love living in the north. Our things are very cheap because we are not bad people. Buy something N500 in the north and you'll discover it's N2500 in your side. You admire our ladies too. Even our universities are more tolerant than yours, that's why you see many southerners fed-up with their institutions seeking for an admisssion in the north. Check the admission list of UNN, Nsukka, for example, and see if you can find a northerner. But check that of ABU Zaria, BUK, UNIMAID, and know who is tribalistic and "sensless."

The ground is the richest place on earth, for many golden ideas have been burried in it.

Any news about PUTME?

Katun001:
ABU Zaria fresher's do pay 30-33k.. and u have a good chance if u will do very well in the putme

Thanks bro. And the PUTME is scheduled to hold when?

Kingpee2:
Irrespective of the body ,they still can’t have sense and wisdom like the southerners.

Despite your "sense" you're still making an impertinent and childish comment.

NAME: Adamu Abubakar Isa
LEVEL: 100L
Course & Institution: Law student at Yobe State University, Damaturu.

Please someone should tell me the school fees of fresh ABU Zaria Law students. And what are my chances of gaining an admission to study Law with a 253 UTME score?

garner:
At u sure it was ATM that brought out that money? Cos with the way I'm seeing that money, it looks way too mutilated to come out from an ATM

Read the post very well.

I guess fire from their mountain fell on the building.

This is an attempted rape and a crime. You almost got raped and you're posting it in Romance section." Abi na romantic rape?"
Sorry for what you went through though.

Obainoneandonly:
ATM do not dispense fake money. it HSS been preprogram to reject it..just like the teller machine

But now they do!

I was in Damaturu, Yobe state capital. I went to a UBA Bank branch to make a withdrawal. I got this fake N1000 note and I was not aware till I got to Jos, for I never thought an ATM machine can give me a fake note. This was the only penny I had with me. When a keke rider took me to my area, I gave him the note and he fired angrily at me for giving him a fake note. I was so shocked. I told him I got it from an ATM machine. He didn't believe. After almost and hour of alteraction, we went to First Bank branch, Katako where I made another withdrawal. I paid him N500 after everything. It was when I examined the note thoroughly that I discovered it's a fake. If you see it with your naked eyes, you'll observe that it is whiter than a genuine 1000 Naira note. It was not even as old as this. I only kept it in a wallet for a day only to see it like this. Zoom these pictures and compare them with a genuine one and you'll see the differences. Dear Nigerans, if you withdraw money next time, look at it very well so that you won't land in trouble. In fact, count the money to make sure the ATM is not cheating you. Every system in this country is just at an appalling situation. May God help us ooh!

BBnaija don finish now! Make the headlines finish join.

Whatever!
I still prefer his era to this Buhari-led administration.

Squatting in its literal context can mean bending one's body. However, an average Nigerian may define squatting as living in a room with someone, illegitimately without paying for it.

Students in Tertiary institutions are well-acquainted with this connotation.

I will narrate what happened to me while I was squatting with a 'friend,' and I hope this story will urge you to face the bull by its horn and pay for an accommodation, no matter how cost it may be.

On April 7th, I came back to my room in the hostel. I met three of my room occupants, discussing alongside my 'friend,' something about me. They immediately switched the topic and started discussing about the examinations which were fast approaching. I noticed this, but I pretended I didn't. I wished I could know what they were discussing but I couldn't.

Suddenly, a bright idea struck my mind. I brought out my little Tecno 'torchlight' device and clicked on the sound recorder. I connected the phone to a charger and covered it with some clothes. Satisfied, i gave myself a mischievous smile and left.

Twenty minutes later, I came into the room and took my phone away. I went to the school's Pre-Degree Block, which has long been known for its extant tranquility. I bought out my earphone and played what i recorded. What i heard from my 'friend' was too repugnant and eerie for me to digest. He said I was bothering his life and that he wants me to get an admission for I took another UTME Examination with the motive of changing my course and institution. He also said that I haven't benefited him in anyway in his life.

The words crashed on my ears with so much weight that i felt like they would pull-off my ears from my body. I began thinking of how I've help him financially, physically and even to evade his emotional traumas, that they were too unlimited to count. I never did anything wrong to him, yet I was a nuisance to his life. What also fueled my disappointment was the ostensible compliment he made about me the previous day; he said he was going to miss me so much that he wish I won't leave the school.

Dear Nairalanders, even if you have friends or relatives who are willing to squat with you, it's better to pay for your own accommodation. A friend today may end up messing up your life tomorrow. Some may even do worse than what happened to me.

Good day Nairalanders. After the release of the 2018 UTME results, I managed to peg-off a total score of 253. My aspiration now is to study Law at ABU Zaria. However, some people told me that the score is not sufficient considering the competitiveness of the Faculty of Law, ABU Zaria. Please is it sufficient or I should have scored higher?

If you laugh at someone you'll be like them. I have been laughing at Dangote, but my laughing has not yielded any positive result.

Won't be surprised if Okorocha starts weighing up a plan to erect his statue too. The slogan of Imo state should just kukuma be changed to "Home Of Statues."

If Allah is not the Arabic equivalent of God, what then is it?
Even the Arab Christians and Jews call Him Allah.

judedwriter:
Lol...i thot it was John obi mikel.

Haha.. Me too.

Nice one OP.

Disgusting.. Geez! Even though I love my gf more than anything, I can't do this poo.
