Tell that Great Ife students

We speak conc, Kwara Yoruba at home! 100%. Maybe when my baby grows up, we can begin to speak English. For now, na Yoruba at home, English outside.

Arysexy: This goes to show that they were persecuting xtians and non-muslims. No smoke without fire! Muhamed can not wake up and start sending letter to the Monks. Possibly the muslims were persecuting them and destroying their places of worship and d monks wrote him before this reply. Still shows the intolerance of muslims even in the era of muhamed.

If we take your logic, then it follows too that Muhammad did not endorse it? And I'm sure you know Muhammad represents Islam more than the people?

Maxymilliano: I don't see anything inciting in what Buhari said, in Edo State, it was 'Rig and Roast' championed by the Comrade governor himself. Was Abati expecting him to have advised his followers to applaud any one caught tinkering with votes

That's the tragedy. Anything said by Buhari is termed inflammatory while other politicians say similar or even worse things and nobody raises any eyebrow. I remember Tinubu, fielding questions from journalists ahead of 2003 polls that 'if PDP try to rig Lagos elections in 2003, what happened in Darfur would be a child's play to what will happen in Lagos'. If such had come from Buhari, imagine.

I tip Cape Verde and Morrocco.

pDude: Every course studied in Nigeria nowadays is a useless course.



Unless your relative has good connections in Nigeria, you are just wasting your 4 years in school. Lecturers dont even teach anything of relevance these days.

You guys should stop harping on connection. Stop instilling pessimism in people. More than half of jobs in Nigeria are still merit-driven. People still get jobs without connection. I got my current job from Guardian advert

My major problem with most students, right from my secondary school days up to university, up to ICAN, is that they easily get thrown offbalance anytime a question is not direct or a little off-syllabus. I don't believe exam should be about syllabus alone , there is nothing wrong in chipping in one or two general questions apart from the regualar 'define this', 'what is XX?', 'discuss 5 xtics of YY' and all those questions. In my FA old PE1, imagine being asked questions about excel, how to expand row etc. These are things you won't find in syllabus but clearly not out of order for someone in PE1 of ICAN.

Similarly, in last foundation economics, there was a question on 'currency redesign', obviously wantimg to test knowledge of economy in respect of Sanusi's currency redesign attempt. These are things you won't find in syllabus or even textbooks, but with common sense you should be able to answer this kind of question as an economics candidate in ICAN. With your ideas(mere listening to radio or hearing peppersoup joints gists or even reading politics section of Nairaland, you should be able to attempt this kind of questions and do well above average. But many students will expect direct, syllabus-programmed questions like 'what is elasticity of demand?'.

You're being trained to become a chartered accountant and even in practice there will be one-off, peculiar cases that will require your intuition.

Yet, 80% of ICAN questions are direct questions from syllabus which is enough to pass.

ICAN will never say anyone fails if he scores 50% or above, which is half. That's fair in my opinion.

It doesn't matter if 90% didn't score up to half which is very possible.

Sekso: JARUS, sometimes you make some of us feel so dull with the way you over-simplify established areas of difficulty in the ICAN examinations.
I met you on a thread sometime ago where you stated that you studied for ICAN exam for 5 days and still earned yourself awards. Now, you are making people appear very foolish for taking AAA exam more than once.
I need you to understand that you may be operating at some level of genius and that does not make it criminal for others to fail where you passed with little or no effort. Its best you tell us the strategies you adopted to conquer the challenges of some tough courses like AAA rather than suggesting we are dumb. Patronage won't help here sir!
Perhaps you are part of the less than 10% who passed AAA in May 2012 diet. Either that, or you are on the same IQ level with them. Whatever your level of knowledge doesn't make it less shocking to have over 90% of candidates failing a Paper. To me, it is outrageous.
Regards!

I was qualified already by May 2012.

And you need to go read those threads again. I encourage people, I demystify fears, I allay fears. If you see that as making people look dumb then there is nothing I can do about it. I have taught in a couple of ICAN classes and one of the first things I do to my students to demystify these pessimistic mentalities. I build hope in people. I don't scare people, I don't believe any exam is insurmountable and if you want me to say ICAN is difficult I won't say it because i don't believe it is.

Side view

Sure, the electrical works have been done, before the platering. Plumbing works have also been done.

Threw another 3m into this thing December/January and the money sink like garri in water. Now, 7.6m spent to date. To think when I set out I budgeted 2.5 to 3m for the whole stuff.

Tiles and POP in progress. Tiles cost 400k, POP about 400k too

I had to change my initial contractor over a dispute.

The 3m was my last card. Looking like it will wait for another 3 months. But basically, everything has completed. I did a shop and gatehouse. I have abandoned the BQ for now.

Can't believe it. Didn't look like one to die so soon. No be few days ago I read him last in Guardian?

Still on Dike, I honestly don't know what Ejike is doing on that list. Na by force to include a home based if we don't have quality ones. Dike is better than Ejike and Keshi included Ejike ahead of Dike only to be seen as developing home-based. To me, Gabriel Reuben, Agbim and Oboabona are the only homebased that have business in that team.

honeric01: Heheh my brother, they're more than just 2 o, some people with sentiments.

Rabiu should concentrate on how to get a regular playing time, if i were him, i would go to a small club where i can play regular football. if you can't play regularly, you won't develop. infact he should go to Segunda division in spain, like Villareal B, Barcelona B or Elche, then build his career from there.

I tire o. Even after watching him disappoiting in about 5 matches he has featured for Nigeria NT, people still use his performance at under-17 some 5 years ago to judge him today.

Primary 1. 4 years. The girl's name was Bukola. I had to tell my mum to name my younger sister born at that time Bukola. They accepted and my kid sister(now 26 years) is named Bukola.

The name I came to check is already there: FFK

Somehow, I think El-Rufai should also talk less

SUBS


1, Igiebor : easily the man of the match, came in and stabilized the midfield, making second half a lot better 7


2, Ideye : Introduced in second half but couldn't do anything spectacular 4


3, IK Uche : made a couple of efforts when he came in, but wasn't able to penetrate 5

4, Enyeama : Not tested like Ejide but still inspired confidence 5

6, Mikel : The only average performer in Eagles midfield before Igiebor came on board. Didn't do much in first half as CV overran our midfield but did a yeoman job in second half, having goal attempt as well as distributing passes although the guys at the other couldn't catch up with the passes for most time 6.5


7, Ogude : Lost in a midfield overrun by the CV 3


8, Musa : a couple of moves on the flanks but poor final ball 5


9, Moses : below average capped with unnecessary kick of opponent when he became frustrated 4


10, Emenike : average performance, especially on the wings, tried to push in several times, not selfish though 5


11, Oboabona : our best defender of the night, tried in stopping the onslaught of the CV attackers, but water pass garri 6

1, Ejide: Made a couple of good saves, even though it was more of bad finishing from the Cape Verdean strikers. Later had muscle pull. 6

2, Yobo: Brought experience to bear on a couple of occasions, also stopped ball a couple of times, but he should have done better. Having played at big clubs and world stage, can't believe he was part of defence that was overrun several times by the CV forwards 5

3, Oshaniwa: Below average. Not spectacular in the back. Routed by CV attackers.4


4, Echiejile: I still don't know why Keshi picked this guy ahead of Taiye Taiwo. Even if TT is useless in defending, he adds bite to attack. Echiejile is both useless in defending and making attacking runs to assist the left winger. Yesterday was no different. Gave the ball away many times. Coudlnt stop the CV guys meandering through our defence. Poor passes and finishing too 2

5, Onazi : Bad game for Eagles yesternight. Not the Onazi we knew. Made our midfield so porous while the CV had a field day, especially in first half. Gave ball away so unprofessionally. Did little in second half 3

6, Mikel : The only average performer in Eagles midfield before Igiebor came on board. Didn't do much in first half as CV overran our midfield but did a yeoman job in second half, having goal attempt as well as distributing passes although the guys at the other couldn't catch up with the passes for most time 6.5


7, Ogude : Lost in a midfield overrun by the CV 3

5, Omeruo : good game for him, even as a defender, pushed forward and had a goal attempt. Also charged forward 6

MAN OF THE MATCH: Igiebor
FLOP OF THE MATCH: Ogude

A litTle better 2nd half, Igiebor has stabilized the midfield. Still not looking like a side that can win AFCON.

Must Keshi include homabased if there is none worthy of inclusion, because I can't see what Ejike is doing or can do. Why drop Dike and pick an Ejide for God's sake

To me, Taiye Taiwo is better better than Echiejile. I don't know why Keshi picked the guy over TT.

I see IK Uche coming in to make the difference, as usual.

CAMEROONPRIDE: please beat the crap out of them

Lol. I feel Cameroun's pain. Sorry.

kdaddy: Ait is about to show the match

Ok. Thanks. Mobile now. Should join at home.

What channels are showing this?

I decide what I eat. What other members of household eat is determined by my wife, which may or may not be what I decide to eat.

babyosisi: You mean Chike Obi?
He was the fore most mathematician in Nigeria,I believe the first Nigerian / black African with a PHD in mathematics too
He died a few years ago
I remember references were always made to him when someone was good in maths in my primary school
He will be nicknamed Chike Obi

Old man used to talk glowingly about Professor Chike Obi when I was in primary school. Grew up to know about him.

His son, Mustafa Chike Obi, is AMCON boss now.
