Depends on whether land is swampy or dry.

1m - 2m

Not different from anywhere.

The way everyone is addressed as a billionaire these days though.

Even in naira, having one or two billions doesn't make one a billionaire o. Even in naira.

Can this go for 1.8m?

The highlighted are great guys. Good appointment. But Boards hardly do anything. They are non-executive.

Boss in the building! Oga Jarus, I need interview hacks from you.

There is one thing in common with pwc people, they are calm, articulate, when trying to get their position across, they don't reply in the same volume in which the other party responded. All of them. Is there a course for this in the training school? Something like pwc101.

It's just a corporate culture. But they teach them to be bold and confident right from day 1.

Sun newspapers says he shot himself. That's believable from the account of The Nation here

How can Rear Admiral (Major General equivalent ) and Commander of the whole Western Naval command (GOC equivalent) not have 24 hour police protection

Insider information can be very critical to employment at any level.

Al baqir,

Stop misquoting wikipedia. Wikipedia under "Religion in Africa" quoted World Book of Encyclopedia that says Islam is the most practised religion in Africa.

And yes, it quotes another source, BE, that says Christianity is the most practiced. So two different authoritative sources, two different conclusions.

Taah... Fallacy.

Yes, World Book of Encyclopedia is a book of fallacy.

tintingz:
Your bolded is the most irrational, unreasonable post I've read so far, both religion are even Abrahamic religion, give me reasons i shouldn't leave Islam for another religion?

Please give me reasons, let see how your brain works.

You see why I don't come here again? Here is how low the level of reasoning here has reached since some of us left about 8 years ago.

If you want to leave, that's your business. I have gone past the level of getting worked up over someone leaving Islam. I assumed everyone here has the same level of reasoning with me in identifying basic falsehood.

AlBaqir:
# This is what "World book of encyclopedia" says according to wikipedia:

The World Book Encyclopedia has estimated that in 2002
Christians formed 40% of the continent's population, with
Muslims forming 45%. It was also estimated in 2002 that
Christians form 45% of Africa's population, with Muslims
forming 40.6%.

And this is accredited to Encyclopedia Britannica:

Encyclopædia Britannica. Britannica Book of the
Year 2003. Encyclopædia Britannica, (2003) ISBN
9780852299562 p.306

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, as of
mid-2002, there were 376,453,000 Christians,
329,869,000 Muslims and 98,734,000 people who
practiced traditional religions in Africa. Ian S. Markham,
(A World Religions Reader. Cambridge, MA: Blackwell
Publishers, 1996.) is cited by Morehouse University as
giving the mid-1990s figure of 278,250,800 Muslims in
Africa, but still as 40.8% of the total.

Did the WBE that i quoted say Muslims are the majority or not? Simple yes or no.

Afam4eva:
Actually, i didn't think my comment true as i later try to name 10 fuji musicians off the top of my head and i was stuck at 9. I did some research and realized he's actually one of the top. I wonder why i've never heard of him.

Even as a core Yoruba man that grew up in ilu oke, I only knew him by name, not by face. So it is understandable.

It's the demographic. Only the Big 4 (wasiu, Paso, obesere and osupa) are popular beyond the motor parks and barber's shops. Aside those big 4, Malaika, Tate Currency, Shefiu Alao are in the next class.

According to world book of encyclopedia, Islam is still the most practised religion in Africa.

AlBaqir:
That shows how you care less about Islam or its progress in this society. Majority of the Muslims today never become Muslims via conviction. Majority were born into it and by default you do not expect them to have any real interest in the religion. Situation is worse in predominantly Muslim countries where it is synonymous to cultural practice.

# Something is wrong with "the Islam of this society". Like I posted the other time:

In 1929, there were only 15 million Christians in the whole of Africa. And the continent was overwhelmingly dominated by Muslims. Today, there are 520 million Christians and the continent is dominated by Christians.

Just 40 years ago in Nigeria, Muslims were 70% of the population. Today, we are only 50%

A concern Muslim should be very worry about this, dig the root causes and proffer solutions.

You ain't talking to illiterates.

1 What is the source of your stats up there?
2, What was the population of Africa in 1929?
3, It I not true that Christians dominate Africa now.

Nothing has changed. The Muslim territories remain strong, so do the Christian territories.

Muslim has always dominated North Africa, it still does.

Christianity has always dominated southern Africa, it still does.

West Africa has always been Muslim dominated northern hinterland and Christian dominated South coastal areas. It still is.

East Africa has always been Christian dominated with large population of Muslims, it still is.

And there are hundreds or thousands of conversions here and there, but it never altered the distribution.

You're not talking to illiterates please.

Demmzy15:
A street sign in Madinah, Saudi Arabia

Masha Allah, I know here

I dont need any third party to validate my belief. If Morufat abandons Islam, that's her problem. I don't outsource my thinking.

A religion whose preaching focuses on hereafter versus one whose teaching focuses on this life? A religion that has something to say about every activity, including how to enter toilet versus one whose mode of worship is not even prescribed but left to anyone to do as he wishes. Islam is tougher to practice and that's another validation. Ain't exams hard? Do goodvthings come easy? You need to work and sweat for it. Islam is not merriment.

The proofs of authenticity of Islam are just too glaring that I don't take serious stories of con3conversion by any Muslim.

And by the way Christianity is declining in the West. A good number of them are tuturning atheists.

And please, Islam is still the most practised religion in Africa.

Empiree:
This is really irrelevant to me. There will forever be converts and reverts back n forth. It has always been like that.

However, Nigerians are mostly lazy people with respect to research save few. This is what oyinbo people are good at. Nigerians that left Islam for christianity do so for materialism rather than religious conviction. As rilywane rightly said that they have no knowledge about Islam. That sums it all.

Muslims however will have to do more. Let me tell you that Christianity officially stopped growing in 2003 when the west used to give them money to destroy Islam from late 80s to 2000 but failed. So any converts to Christianity now has little to no effect on Islam. They lost the battle. In the West it is really other way around for Christianity.

Exactly my thought. I was about completing reading the apologetic posts up here and make my comments. If anyone converts to Christianity, that's his business, I'm not apologetic at all.

For me the difference between Islam and Christianity is so clear that I think only a fool will leave Islam for Christianity (may
Allah save us from shaytan)

Afam4eva:
Bros, pls take it easy.

Actually Top 7.

Go to any motor park or local barbers shop in Yorubaland and ask anyone to list Top 7 Fuji musicians and see if Tate Currency will not feature in almost all the answers.

Ishilove:
What's his source of income? Just music alone? It's time we stop gawking at material things and start asking questions. Questions like how an actress with less than 20 movie roles (most of them medium budget) can afford the really expensive lifestyles they are flaunting, or how a little known musician can build a house that costs hundreds of millions

He's not little known in Yoruba street circle.

And minus the cost of land (which is location specific), N40m should be able to do this.


Not an alarming cost for likely the first house of a top Yoruba musician that has been among the top 10 Fuji musicians in the last 15 years.

My British boss saw this article when it was first published two months ago and sent it to me by email with the accompanying message "Partly true?".

I had replied him with "very, very true" before knowing I just committed what the article was talking about.

Icon79:
Well, based on everything we heard, he decided to remove himself. Nobody asked him to go.

This is definitely DIFFERENT from Vincent Enyeama's case.


O pari

Was ENYEAMA on the field and someone else given captain band?

Icon79:
Blame Sunday Oliseh for this crap. Ahmed Musa has no business ever being named the Super Eagles captain. In fact, only a blind man (Sunday Oliseh ) would do that.


The damage that guy, Oliseh, did to the Super Eagles team would take years to remedy.


O pari

But at least he will be formally removed.

ybalogs:
The fact that he hasn't been playing regularly for Leicester means he'd find an automatic shirt in Super Eagles shirt hard to come by. It's not possible to captain from bench nah.

But he, as assistant captain, cannot be starting and another player given captain band when the captain, Mikel, is not on pitch.

It is disrespectful

Ugosample:
@Jarus please I have this question for you.

How can an ACA (ICAN) become a member of CITN,?

Before you didn't need to write exam, just to apply for direct membership. But today, you will write the last two stages.

volo112:
I don't know abt others but a graduate earns 200k+. Iam very sure of this.

Dat person dat told u 120k is only deceiving u. Maybe the person want to runaway from some responsibilities

Yes I don't believe the 120k amount.

Gyj

Guru9ja:
New employed graduate - 120k

This cannot be true. As far back as 8 years ago, entry level was about 190k. So the op's figure of 209k is believable.

BERNIMOORE:
misleading! how can sum total of all graduates in the whole Abu in 1999 just 6 second class and2 third class haha, are you saying that is the final list? You don't know how big ABU was it's a city on its own, you think it University of Ede

Obviously you don't know how a convocation booklet is sectioned.
