₦airaland Forum

My dear friends.

Please remember we are brother's and sisters. What ever you do, do not breach security. Let us not allow the political outcome destroy our relationships with each other, whether on this platform or on the streets. Let us ensure peacefull and amiable human relations and coexistence now, after the winner is declared and even during and after legal redress or judgement if any.

Nigeria is a very volatile environment. For those angry with the results of the elections or irregularities thereof, pls chanel your dissatisfaction by approaching the electoral tribunals or courts as the case may be.

I will personally caution against any form of protest. Nothing good will come out of it, however well intentioned. It will lead to unintended consequences. Don't waste your life. Let us not forget about the EndSARS disaster.

Personally, I suspect this election due to the observed irregularities could be upturned by the court. The last may not have been heard of this election. I foresee lots of drama, twists and turns.


In any case, Pls let's all be very carefully with our words and actions this season, don't forget Ruanda, things are tensed as it is.

We have no other home than Nigeria. It is only if you are alive that you can fight another day, or live to see a better country. Let's follow due process.

Thank you

But then...
In my own little contribution to this....

This cannot work effectively IF THE NIGERIAN POLICE DOESN'T HAVE A UNIFIED DATABASE SYSTEM which serves for the whole of the Police Operations in the country.


I think the Nigerian Police should have a unified database across the whole nation.

So that someone cannot come to one station and report someone, and then, the same person that was reported against (in the first station) would carry the same matter to another station with a slightly distorted narrative, and yet, the second station wouldn't be aware that such a case was already pending in another station.

The Nigerian Police should streamline all their database and data-management systems, and make it unified, and then, allow it to be updated in real-time.



Then again:......
The Nigerian Police should also have access to the NIMC’s NIN-Numbers database, and BVN, and INEC’s VIN-Numbers database, so that people's identities can be verified properly and also cross-verified when necessary..

The Nigerian Police are supposed to have all the necessary security by-pass to all the possible available identity-management data-base systems in Nigeria, including BVN, NIMC-NIN, NCC, FRSC, TIN, NHIS, NPC, INEC-VIN, PASSPORT-NUMBER etc., and be able to cross-check data from any of them in order to get out every possible information that pertains to the identification of individuals, which would give them further leads in their investigations.

But here we are in Nigeria, we have a very docile police system who doesn't even have the slightest access to any privileged information or intelligence.

Even the banks have by-pass access to run checks on customers’ INEC-VIN, NIMC-NIN, FRSC-LICENCE, AND PASSPORTS.
But our police doesn't have any, which is very very baadd.


THEN,, For the sake of privacy policy, and for the Protection of private information of the citizens, the by-pass granted to the police for the checks should be regulated, and be fully official and formal, and ANY of such checks made on any of the data-base portals would be properly lodged against the logon-identity of the officer who conducted the check as well as that of the team-leader who authorised the checks, including the file-number of the case-file for which the check was done.

Thus, the results of any single data-base checks should have the logon-identity of the officer who ran the check and that of the officer who authorised for the checking to be done, the title of the case-file and file-number, and a brief description for the need of the check..

This would minimise unauthorized checking of people's private information by compromised or unauthorized police officers, for unauthorised purposes.

Intelligent perspectives like yours stated above is why I still believe nairaland is worth the visit from time to time.

which is more IMPORTANT between BODY and ENGINE when buying a vehicle.

As a general rule, I think both are important. However, the answer may depend on the apraoch to the question. Let's say Mr. A wants to buy a car, and he happens to be more concerned with the aesthetics than anything else, then, if given the option, he may likely consider the body of the car more important than the engine. Or let's say the Mr. B has a budget he wants to spend on buying a car, confronted with the question of which is more important, he may simply do a mathematical calculation that for instance will consider in between the body and the engine of a car in question, which one will he likely spend less in order maintain in the long or short run as the case may be. Which one will he likely for example, spend less on in order to repair if in the particular instance he has to choose between a bad/fairly good/excellent, etc of the body or the engine of a car in question. What will determine importance here for Mr. B is money/finance.

In the two examples above, the response will have to be a subjective one because the persons involved are goin to give answers relative to their own unique circumstance.

But when the question is viewed from a somewhat objective standpoint, the apraoch in my opinion may have to change. A car is basically meant to convey you from point A to point B. What enable this to become a reality is substancilly (remember I say substancialy), the engine of the car. So in my opinion, if a care can take you from point A to B, it has fulfilled a basic function of what a car should do or what makes it to be ascribed that basic identifier as a motor vehicle.

Other aesthetics encompassed in the body of the car like convinience, beauty or desighn of the car, colour, etc, are substancialy atributes in making the experience of moving from point A to B more pleasurable, convinient, prestigious etc. In the end, a car is a complicated machine with parts (body, engine, etc), that work together to make the car move forward from point A to B and provide pleasures and convenience for the driver while doing so.

In summary therefore, in my opinion, while both are important, from an objective standpoint, the engine is more important than the body. The engine is the heart of a vehicle.

Hope the lecture is not too long. It's a very interesting question though. Makes you realize that sometimes there is no absolute YES or NO answers.

Thanks.

Please elders in the house. My late Dad died without letting us his children know where he kept is house documents. As the first son of the family how can I secure the house so someone won't sell it. Because I can never sell my father house. Even if I won't live there. How can I secure it please.

What is the nature of the title document as regards the land in question?. E.g Letter of Allocation, C of O, customary etc., Do you have a photocopy, scan pdf etc?

I think what you intend is possible.

Theres this girl am with.
When I say she's beautiful I mean she's damn beautiful.
Fat ass and average breast, she's my spec in every manner and way physically and we even have the same music taste.
You could call her the woman of my dreams and she has been bringing up relationship talk lately.

But there's an issue
She can't cook

This is a serious problem for me because I love food, I'm struggling to ignore the fact she can't cook this is a major problem for me.

Abeg my fellow guys in the house what do you think

In any meaningfully relationship, parties are not to expect 100 percent perfection, or that your partner will possese every thing you ever desired.

Thank God you did not say she was of bad character or moraly depraved, these are things that can hardly be corrected. She is just a bad cook. Don't get me wrong, I know its an issue you should not pretend over. However, it is a defect that with determination both of you can fix. I am sure with a good catering training, both formal and informal, this challenge can be sumounted. Even if she can't cook as good as you want.

Same can be said of the apsence of things in a partners life like education, taste, exposure, level of enlightenment etc. They can all be learnt. But when a lady is moraly compromised, I don't care how beutifull, or how good her cooking is.

If she is moraly/spiritually okay, compatible with you mentally and even beautifully to your taste as you have said, my brother, anything else na 'jara'. Work on what needs to be worked on that is all. Thanks.

@help2022

I don't know about this conditional pass you are referring to and since we don't know all, I will be interested if you show me the law where such was abolished, and I say this not to spite what you have said here. This is necessary so we can all scrutinize and see if that is applicabe in this situation. To the best of my knowledge, before, during and after we left the law School, it has always been the case that you pass all before you can be said to have passed and ready for the Call to Bar.

But I think youre focus is wrong in light of this situation with your brother. Your brother is depressed. But this is life. Let's even thank God that in his own case, he failed just one subject. I know of people during our time who could not pass even up to 3 times. But today, they are lawyers after they finally passed. This is life.

I know that for him in this case, his mates will become his seniors at the bar, and so what?, that is life. Do you know in my own case at the university, no carry over etc, but when it was time to go to the Law School, some of us could not get forms and so our mates became our seniors at the bar. Such is life.

Your brother should not get depressed with this, you should encourage him. That some one is your senior at the bar does not mean he will be ahead of you in life or even in the profession itself. Again, let's thank God it was just one subject. So let him get over it and prepare for the exame, by the Grace of God, he will make it.

Thanks.

Mine is politics and governance. That ability to profer public interest solutions to national challenges. I am even in the game right now. Some persons were very impressed with my ideas for Kogi State and even Nigeria in general. Finance though has been a challenge. It is worse in a society like ours where people, especially in this season, do not value forward thinking ideas.

Anyway, regardless of the opstacles, I pray God grants us the grace to fullfill our passion, including cooking.

@ Rozross, I am curious, what is your passion?.

Jesusviper:
My daughter sat for this year Nigeria Airforce secondary school examination and when the first list came out, her name was not there so she was so sad about it but I told her to forget about it.

Just two weeks ago, I enrolled her in a school where I spent 250k for tuition fee,books and uniform.

Just this morning, someone called me that her name just came out in the supplementary list. Honestly I really want her to attend the school but at the same time I am considering how much I have spent in his new school and definitely I will still spend more even if her go to the airforce

Please is it worth all the money and stress. I can overlook everything I have spent in the new school if I am assured airforce will give my child quality education

To the best of my knowledge, I think the school is okay. Since it was actually what she wanted, and what you people had already planned, I think it will be worth it. I just pictured myself in her shoes and can feel the excitement already. It will also be a good lesson for her to learn that sometimes things don't work out exactly as planned but, your desire will come to you.

If it will be possible to get back the money paid, that would be great. You may even want to work things out with the school if possible, for the money to be used as school fees for a parent yet to pay. The school will have nothing to loose in that circumstance.

But before you abandone or inform the School where you have already paid school fees of any change of plans, pls make sure your daughter is already fully admitted. Not just offer of admission. I mean she must of done all necessary medicals ( if any), and you have paid whatever has to be paid, and she, FULLY ADMITED.

I Wish her success, more grace and more winns.

[quote author=fergie001 post=116851932][/quote]@ fergie001, pls can you put link to the full list which includes Senate and House of Reps for all states?. Thank you.

Rozross:
I will check. Good morning and thank you for the message. God bless you

Good Morning. Just Checking up on you again.

Rozross:
Juri juri lol

Do you know I even left you a Birth Day message last year in that mail. Didn't even know you no longer had access if not now that you mentioned it few conversations ago.

Anyway, I think you know exactly what I want. So can you pls respond to the DM request so we conclude with the conversations we had with your previous account and mail?.

Rozross:
Thread closed, the vultures are here

@ Rozross, Thread Opened for discussion on the way forward on outstanding issues. Seriously, you need to attend to.

mariahAngel:
Can you share the recipe for that kwunu geda?

Okey, it's actually popular in the north.

1. Get 4 cups of rice
2. 6 cups of groundnut.
3. About 10 lime balls ( not lemon oh!)
4. Suger as you may deem necessary for you.


PROCEEDURE.

1. Frie the groundnut, but not completely fried. Just enough to remove that outer layer as you weould have done after frieing groundnut to blow away that layer. Infact, it is even okey if you could remove the outer layer without even frieing the groundnut such as when may be you live it under the sun and then pill off the outer layer. Remember, the idea of frieing the groundnut is just to make it hot enough to remove that outer layer so the groundnut still even tasts raw.

2. Then you gring the groundnut the way you ground your egwisi, using that Hand grinder or any form of grinder for that matter. Just let it be very grinded as you would for egwisi.

3. When you are done with step 1 and 2 above, keep aside. The cut all your limes into 2 eqwal half, press to extract the juice into a cup, as you would do for oranges, but make sure you drain or use a spoon to remove the seeds.

4. Then move to the rice, per boil and wash just like you do your normal rice. However, for this, you would cook the rice to the point where it becomes very soft, not like the rice you use of Rice and Stew, but very soft. Make sure there is enough water. It should not be thick, but watery kind of.

5. Soak the grinded groundnut in a bowl of ordinary water, just as you soak corn/semo to be used in making tuwo. It should not be watery, but thick. Just enough water that can desolve the grounded groundnut more like a past.

6. Then pour this groundnut past in the boiling rice. Continue to turn/stire from time to time. The consistency here should be that it is not thich like Eba or Tuwo, but more like watery pap/ Akamu sort of.

7. After cooking for about 15 minutes, pour in the lime juice and continue to stire. At this stage, you would notice immediately you put the line, the product becomes thicker.

8. Continue to stir for about 10 minutes. Then add suger to taste and take out from the stove. Serve when a bit cold.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE.

1. YOU can make it as thick or as light as you may desire. But ideally, it should something as thick as pap and not like Tea.

2. Some people after soaking the groundnut, continue to drain for the milk just as you do soya beans milk. It is this milk, after removing the chaff that they now pour to the rice at the stage of pouring the groundnut past as I instructed. But it is better you pour everything ( the past) and get as much from what ever goo the groundnut has.

3. Sometimes, they use a soure substance called 'Samia', in Hausa, in place of lime. But it will make the Kwunu Geda brownish. Lime makes it very white and I think it's best. Besides, you are likely going to find line more readily available than the 'Samia'.

So!, There you have it, Kwunu Geda.

RepoMan007:
Very timely thread given the economic realities.

Boiler yam and boiled egg(almost Nollywood sacrifice).
Crayfish jollof rice.
Rice and groundnut.

You have not heard of or tasted kwunu Geda?. It is made with rice and grounded partially fridge groundnut. Very delicious too.

� you have a main account here but you are hiding, I wake early to care for my five kids

What main account are you talking about. I am not hiding anything. In any case, like I said, and have been saying even before you deactivated the Iya....Can you pls respond to the issues I have been raising, 60+ or not, 5 kids or not, main account (including imaginary ones) or not. Just respond.

Rozross:
Hi juri How are you doing, how’s family ( wife and kids)

What are you dooing this early. You are yet to still respond. Pls do, even if I know you are 60 + with five kids.

@ newold, your situation is very critical and requires serious approach. Before I even recommend you go for prayers, let start by advicing you do the following.

1. Open up to your wife and explain to her clearly and openly your gambling addiction and how it is affecting your finance.

2. Make your wife the sole signatory to even your own account ( I am very serious here) where your salaries or income will be going to or even outrightly going to her directly. A simple mandate letter to the bank will take care of this. Make it for now, a 2 years mandate, in which case, for the next 2 years, your wife operates your account and handles all finances including any source of income accruing from your end

3. Destroy all ATM cards with you and do not open any account. Don't just filled your hands and say you are addicted. Take responsible actions.

4. Finally, as a family, pray together concerning this addiction and seek councelling from reliable people, spiritual and circular.

May God have mercy on you and deliver you in Jesus Mighty name. AMEN.

Rozross:
Hi juri How are you doing, how’s family ( wife and kids)

Well, I am fine, and thanks for asking. And by the way, I doubt I would be asking for the requested information from you if I had 'wife and kids'. So I guess my respons to that question from you would be 'Not Applicable'.

So, would you pls address the issues I have raised?, Thank you.

Rozross:
I’m not sure I still have access to that mail mr Juri. Outstanding issues? Confused �‍♀️

Hi!. Pls Have you seen the PM sent to you from me ( juri ) ?.

Rozross:
I’m not sure I still have access to that mail mr Juri. Outstanding issues? Confused �‍♀️

Yes, outstanding issues you were to get back to me on. It is unfortunate you no longer have access to the previous mail through which we had some conversations and I had even left some messages there. In any case, I have sent you a request to this your new User Name and it's from juri. Do well to reply so we can take up the conversations from their since things to be said can't be done here in public Thanks.

Hannania, very brilliant insight you have surgested. I have always believed that sooner than later, a thorough review of government owned universities administrative system by the Fed. Gov. is inevitable. I think you are very correct to say the present mode of administering the universities is not sustainable.

In addition to what you have proposed, I would like to add that the Universities of Technology and the other universities may focus more in areas where the nation is seriously lacking. For example more focus in the area of science and technology ( which would include fields like the medical sciences, ICT, etc) as opposed to fields like the Arts and humanities. Not they the later is not relevant, but just that the ratio may be more in favour in areas of critical importance, say like a 70/30 ratio.

Furthermore, I think this should be accompanied with guaranteed quality free education from Primary to Secondary.

I must really commend your insight. Even if some may take the argument that this will lead to increased school fees, but if it can guarantee us the same standard and quality of education which drives Nigerians going abroad to school, paying huge sums of money controbuting to find foreighn universities, then it is at least a conversation worth having. At least, through a systematic process, e.g, say 10 % of students to be admitted in the other universities can be through scholarships provided for students with exceptional skills and competence from secondary schools.

It appears it is an area you have longed researched or thought about to make such submission. I love to see and read more of such solutions to national challenges discussed in forums like this.

Finally, like someone surgested, I don't really envy anyone taking over as president from this administration because this govt has really made a mess. I hope the incoming will help stabilize the situation and prevent further deterioration. More reason why we need competent leaders from all the political parties. I feel Peter Obi is a worthy choice for the Labour Party, just I feel like Osinbanjo would have been a worthy choice for the APC.

Hope I did not write too much. Thank you

The joke is on you all , redpill does not have a place with an attractive, beautiful, sexy and intelligent woman . My heart goes out to the average looking woman who will have to work extra hard to free themselves from the redpill evil awareness currently going on. In my next world, I’ll still come through my momma, the genes she passed are rare and uncommon. Have a lovely week ahead.

Are you who I think you are. If so, I believe there is an outstanding issue not yet addressed, pls check your previous email. Thanks.

Calm down and listen....

Extra marital /pre marital sex ofcourse is discouraged, but we need to get to the root of what really disarmed Samson.

Before that fateful day, Samson had sex partners in almost every city he's been to ( just as many today)

Samson's fall was progressive but one thing destroyed him completely. Read on to find out…..

All the mistakes Samson made prepared him by weakening him for that final fall.

Remember: if you fall in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

WHAT THEN HAPPENED TO SAMSON.

The same mistake Eve made, by revealing to the serpent what God told them.

Thrones are preserved by secrets.

Kingdoms are secured by mysteries.

Destiny is guarded by codes.

The moment Eve gave serpent the secret, she handed the code of the garden to the enemy.

There are covenant secrets you must defend with your life.

God is God because of secrets, there are a lot we still don't know about God.

Every nation has their secret service agency.

There are offices, companies and ministries you can never work in, until you are initiated into their secrecy, to preserve their secret.

Every destiny has a code and that's the secret of their success.

Joseph made same mistake, when he revealed to his brothers more than they deserve to know at that moment.

Stop talking too much.

Stop talking to everybody.

Stop talking about everything.

There are things God tells you that are meant for you only.

The damage the enemy couldn't do to Samson through sex, the moment he revealed his sacred covenant secret; they finished him.

Nobody should know your covenant code with God.

Preserve your spiritual ticket to Kingdom mysteries.

He that dwells in the secret place...

You cannot dwell in the secret place, until you are initiated into divine secrecy.

When Paul was caught up into the third heaven, he said he heard things which are not permitted for man to say.

If you have a leaking mouth, you are not qualified for power.

PADLOCK YOUR MOUTH ! ! !

Wow!!. I appreciate you for this write up. I wish topics on nairaland are full of such instructive conversations not all the trash we see most of the time. Thank you.

INEC did not recognise Machina. They only left that place blank because they don't have a right to impose Candidate for the Party.

So INEC advised Candidates whose elections were monitored by them to apply for INEC official reports and head to Court. What Machina did was to apply for the CTC i.e. the INEC report and he will proceed to Court.

Pls does anyone have the full list of other offices, i.e Senate and house of rep.
