Seun has proffered the best solution for the poster.How manytimes are we going to talk about Electricity on this forums, even the PHCN themselves know the problem just that no one is ready to do the right things

Newton's First Law of Motion
"A body will continue in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a resultant force."

Newton's Second Law of Motion
"When a resultant force is applied to a body it produces an acceleration that is directly proportional to the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass ofthe body."

Newton's Third Law of Motion
"For every force (or action) between two bodies there is always an equal but oppositely directed force (or reaction)."

Universal Law of Gravitation
"Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the particles."

Going by the definition of Banker. A banker is somebody who has successfully completed and passed the final examination of The Chartered Institute of Banker of Nigeria (CIBN) and the person is being addressed as an 'ACIB' or "FCIB". That is, chartered Banker. I think the poster of this thread is not refering to Bankers rather BANK STAFF(cashier, security personnel, contract staff, permanent staff of a bank) cos these are the set of people have i experience the attitude describe above with.

I hope your boss is not trying to punish you for an offence.Why dont you try to plead him?if he insist then you can take your decision by going for your wedding and hope to get better job thereafter.Happy marry life

Good day all,

I presumed we all aware of how fast LASU conducted their 2006/2007 Post UME screening test.Many candidates were shortlisted and disqualified due to the reason best known to them.My own case was "Shading Error" and i admitted my faith, only to fnd out today that LASU has called for candidates that were disqualified to come and conduct another Post UME in advance of 2008 admission and they are to buy registration voucher again for fresh registration.

I'm not sure, and i'm using this medium to find out genuine information about this.

hit me for more updates, Urgent plsss.

make una leave mr bigg's alone jo. me too i like eating at eateries but we've no control over their maintenance culture, and i believe their common sense will tell them if they notice customers are no more trooping in their outlets , cos mr bigg's will be the last place for me to step.

i wonder why some people like to put uneccessary thread here,without solid proof,simply because u have seen one or two beutiful girls in a place does not mean u can generalise all d girls there as beautiful,low thinking.even beauty contest is a formality.so give us statistical data for argument like this unless it is meant for fun say,i guess the next thread UI and LAG girls who is sexy pass

if i am not extremely occupied, i would like to be there when my wife is giving birth,but not be seen as obligation because i have played my major role ,hence she should play  her major role too  

Well my stance on this issue is similar to good point some people have made , there is nothing bad as long as each other know their limit,but due to rise in standard of corruption in nigeria, i will not advice any girls to go for PA,because of my real life observation with PA bosses.many of them are womanizer, fulnicator,adulterous because they have advantage of being at the top,many ppl think financial crimes is the only corrupt act,but we have to stand up to fight sexual scandals among our rich boss.well abroad it is good,it rare for both party to cross their bondery because they are not as corrupt as nigeria,nija women dont do PA unless u r prepared for challenges in it.

WASHINGTON - More than 70,000 bridges across the country are rated structurally deficient like the span that collapsed in Minneapolis, and engineers estimate repairing them all would take at least a generation and cost more than $188 billion.

That works out to at least $9.4 billion a year over 20 years, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The bridges carry an average of more than 300 million vehicles a day.

It is unclear how many of the spans pose actual safety risks. Federal officials alerted the states late Thursday to immediately inspect all bridges similar to the Mississippi River span that collapsed.

In a separate cost estimate, the Federal Highway Administration has said addressing the backlog of needed bridge repairs would take at least $55 billion. That was five years ago, with expectations of more deficiencies to come.

It is money that Congress, the federal government and the states have so far been unable or unwilling to spend.

"We're not doing what the engineers are saying we need to be doing," said Gregory Cohen, president of the American Highway Users Alliance, an advocacy group representing a wide range of motorists.

"Unfortunately when you consistently underinvest in roads and bridges , this is the dangerous consequence," Cohen said of Wednesday's deadly Mississippi River bridge collapse in Minneapolis. He said engineers have estimated $75 billion a year is needed just to keep highways and bridges from further deterioration, but that only around $60 billion a year is being provided.

At least 73,533 of 607,363 bridges in the nation, or about 12 percent, were classified as "structurally deficient," including some built as recently as the early 1990s, according to 2006 statistics from the Federal Highway Administration.

The federal government provides 80 percent of the money for construction, repair and maintenance of the so-called federal-aid highway system including Interstate highways and bridges. But states set priorities and handle construction and maintenance contracts.

A bridge is typically judged structurally deficient if heavy trucks are banned from it or there are other weight restrictions, if it needs immediate work to stay open or if it is closed. In any case, such a bridge is considered in need of considerable maintenance, rehabilitation or even replacement.

Congressional leaders say the number of bridges in need of repair is too high and the funding too low.

There is crumbling infrastructure all over the country, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who heads the Senate panel that controls transportation spending, said the Bush administration has threatened vetoes when Democrats try to increase such spending.

White House deputy press secretary Scott Stanzel, accusing the Democrats of using the bridge collapse for partisan purposes, said Bush had increased funding for federal highways by about 30 percent during his administration. The president had threatened to veto legislation not over highway funding but because of billions of dollars in excess funding in other areas, Stanzel said.

Democrats were not alone in calling for more bridge funding.

"People think they're saving money by not investing in infrastructure, and the result is you have catastrophes like this," said Rep. Tom Petri, R-Wis., a member of the House transportation committee.

The federal government is now providing about $40 billion a year to improve and expand the nation's highways and bridges.

The main source of revenue for roads and bridges, the federal highway trust fund, is failing to keep up with spending demand. The 18.3 cents a gallon in federal taxes hasn't changed since 1993, and the demand for more fuel-efficient vehicles could affect fuel consumption.

Funding isn't the only issue getting attention after the Minnesota collapse.

Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said in an interview with The Associated Press that she had asked her department's inspector general to evaluate the agency's overall bridge inspections.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, most bridges in the U.S. Highway Bridge Inventory — 83 percent — are inspected every two years. About 12 percent, those in bad shape, are inspected annually, and 5 percent, those in very good shape, every four years.

The Department of Transportation's inspector general last year criticized the Highway Administration's oversight of interstate bridges. The March 2006 report said investigators found incorrect or outdated maximum weight calculations and weight limit postings in the National Bridge Inventory and in states' bridge databases and said the problems could pose safety hazards. The Highway Administration agreed that improvements in its oversight of state bridge inspections and data were needed.

Incorrect load ratings could endanger bridges by allowing heavier vehicles to cross than should, and could affect whether a bridge is properly identified as structurally deficient in the first place, the inspector general said.

The audit didn't identify any Minnesota bridges or mention the state beyond noting that 3 percent of its bridges were structurally deficient, placing it at the low end among states. It said those bridges were crossed by an average of 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles a day, putting it 13th among the states.

An analysis of 2006 Federal Highway Administration data found that Minnesota bridges were generally in better shape than those in other states. Only about 6 percent of the state's 20,000 bridges were listed as being structurally deficient. In Oklahoma, nearly 27 percent of bridges were cited by the federal government as being structurally deficient, the highest percentage among the states.

Among counties with more than 100 bridges, the problem appears to be most significant in the Midwest. In Nemaha County in southeastern Nebraska, about 58 percent of 194 bridges are structurally deficient. More than 55 percent of neighboring Pawnee County's 188 bridges are in the same shape. Of the 10 worst-off counties with significant numbers of bridges, seven are in Oklahoma or Nebraska.

On the other end of the scale, at least 10 counties with a significant number of bridges have none that are structurally deficient, according to the latest government statistics. A half-dozen of those are in Texas.

Several governors on Wednesday ordered state transportation officials to inspect particular bridges or review their inspection procedures.

Beyond Minnesota, North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven said his state doesn't have any bridges similar to the Minneapolis bridge but he had asked state officials to review inspection procedures. Presidential hopeful and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ordered an inspection of several steel-truss bridges in the state. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano directed state transportation officials to conduct a statewide review, starting with highly traveled bridges in urban areas.

My fellow nairalandrians, what do you reasen about this post?dont you think this a country where things are working?when will our government have plans like this for rehabilitating our infrastructure.when will our briges and transportaion systems rehabilitate.Because the incidence that leads to collapsed of Mississippi River bridge is worth to learn from by our government too because i have never heard any plans to rehabilitate our decades briges in existence.share your opinion and plans our government have to rehabilitate diffiency in our infrastructure espeically bridges.

Mr Payme,where are you from?

man be indipendent,make your self indipendent,go out seek businesss ideas from proffesionals and successful people,start your own business,then you can start to invest and further your education,nigeria is a Bleep up country , our educational system is bad,we need urgent reform.make more money with ur present job and establish urself.na corruption dey worry everybody corrupt country.

May God safe us from this "I Love You" .if i am from india for example and girl pronouced it from her mouth that she loves me i will grab it  and feel it ,but Nigeria i have to investigate the words very well because it may hinge on something ,money or performance at some period of time.It is good for a girl to say I Love You to his Man if she really mean it

Oprah Winfrey must be craczy,yes nigeria corruption is growing at an alarming rate,in fact i can agree that we are the most corrupt country in the world but it is stupidity to say all nigerians are corrupt,we still have many honest,sincere,God fearing nigerians that live their lives without corruption.All nigerians are not corrupt stupid corrupt woman get that in your head .

Broke up for 2yrs and reconciled again she was misbehaving then but now behaving.we understand each other better than the first time.

No long thing , nothing dey pa, i just see this thread no yab us, any biz for me, what exactly u want the guys for, if it private u could holla me sha 08031265484 or pm jmichaelmccoy@yahoo.com

Sweet T take it easy and another point of correction how do know she reside in mushin and beside she was telling the truth about herself,why do we like to pretend and decieve ourselve who knows may be u r corrupt more than yinx007.but because u r scared to talk public ur secret.

this is really trap, guys beware i hope this girl is not trying to retaliate for something, Aids, Ritual, etc senator pikin for that matter even poor man pikin have so many men encounter let alone.just beware not all hole is enterable .

Education is very important in human life,hence both boy and girl must make sure they are educated.but girls should take their education easy because she is still going to further his education when she married and that is the education that is most important.men need to be prosperious as fast as possible so that he can marry in time

Thank you for this thread i support your motive,but it is painful that we still have many bad belle people leaders in this country not only the governors but the truth is that the governors are to blame because of their inefficiency of management due to greediness in their lifestyle.for example imaging an errand man of Nigeria Labour Congress carrying 3 phones worth of 50k at the sametimes and own 2 private jaguar car and lots of money,he is not doing no other work than fighting for people right isn't it, and local governments councils have turned to money making centre,so that is why i am support privatisation systems emphasised by former president OBJ because this government public office holders see the position as an opportunity to make their life better than everybody instead of them to use it to make common nigerian proud.may God change perpetrators of corruption ooo.

I wonder when we would stop amateur activites in this country because it is responsible for many irregularities,injustice and our decades undevelop status,let take LASU as a case study,almost 2000 plus candidates were disqualified and denied result not even admission for this just concluded final post ume screening, alleged as candidates who registerred online but did not have result(absent/ or unscannable OMR).I would judge this case base on my own observation,because i happened to be one of the victims,so i decided to share the experience here so that everyone can express yourt view and let see how we can all help NIGERIA to grow.I am network engineer and i have been into several online examination registration online but honestly it doesnt required a webmaster to explain the misery experience behind our online activites.Could you believe barely after all registration for the post ume screening exam the website hosting expired and the official one for returning student registration and were shutdown up till present that i am posting this message no action has been taking to upgrade their hosting of those website in which they have large numbers of candidates registration database,hence it is simple logic that it is their online systems that made it difficult to retrieve the database of thousands of candidate and therefor put them in o God,i think something need to be done to prevent this situation in future,we i appeal to all youth dont let our generation,future be like this,as corrupt as this,because corruption has damage manythings but which we dont attend to.let us use our skill positively, we are in net and computer generation,let us use our brain positively to develop our country.we share your experience and advice

if your boyfriend beat you i am vacant and i wont so notify me so that we can have a wornderful experience , no knocking,hitting,beating,so i will show you how the beast suppose to treat you nice
