Okay thanks |
Just as the title says guys. I've grown disillusioned by the lack of focus in my company and have severally asked my CEO to remove my name as director. He has been reluctant, keeps giving stories and since I'm not well aware of the processes involved, I give him the benefit of the doubt. But I'm tired of waiting. The reason for his reluctance is my bvn and signature powers the corporate account. I want to educate myself on how to change this. What the requirements are and what nots. I am yet to find the time to go to a CAC office as there is none in my town. Thanks for anticipated response. |

Bloooody:And yet your profile personal test says YOU KNEEL TO NO MAN, but you are selling your children's children with the words of your mouth. May it be unto you according to your words. Fool. |

I need hausa goat herders/farmers info. Thanks. |
wink2015:And it will taste like what? Instead of talking of how to improve our trade relations with these countries to reduce trade deficit, you're talking of culturing cod fish and machine drying. How much nutrients will this laboratory experiment contain? |
But they are putting high tarriff on the stockfish at our ports causing artificial scarcity and making importers raise the market price. Stockfish today is very expensive per bag. I'd have invested in wholesaling it but the price just keeps fluctuating. |

sodiq961 still dealing? |
On our third date, he proposed something unexpected. “Can we not text?” We were sitting on the floor of his living room on one of the first warm nights of spring, plates of grilled chicken thighs, Greek salad, buttery pita, and garlicky tzatziki balanced in our laps. I sipped my wine, and was, perhaps, slightly buzzed. Maybe that’s why his question didn’t throw me. To be honest, I found it kind of thrilling. Recently, I’d noticed a pattern in my dating habits. I’d meet someone, and next thing I knew, we were texting more frequently than I text my best friends. The difference, of course, is that texting your best friends is a fun diversion, whereas texting someone you’re interested in can feel exhilarating but also exhausting. Every interaction is laden with meaning: How long should I wait to write back? What does his delay imply? Is an exclamation point too much? Should I add a winking face emoji? Avoiding all of that sounded great to me. So we began to lay down some rules. During each date, we would make plans for our next one. If we needed something in between from one another — even if that was just to say hello—we would call. We would keep texting to logistics, like if one of us was running late, or if we needed the other to pick something up a key ingredient, like limes for the gin and tonics or American cheese for the burgers, on the way over. But the good-morning-how-was-your-day-goodnight banter — and the incessant distraction that came with it — all of that was off the table. And thank god for that; the truth is, texting had already derailed our relationship once. It was a few days after our second date, which had been a dream. I’d invited him for dinner, something that was significant for me — both the preparation and having someone in my home. Conversation and first kisses flowed. During our meal we made plans to get together the following week for lunch in Sunset Park. I said I would do research on where we should go. He texted on Sunday to follow up, saying Wednesday or Friday worked best for him. But his text landed right in the middle of an unexpected family crisis. Not wanting to leave him hanging, but also not wanting to share the details of my family’s situation, I texted back, “Running around text you in a bit �.” But then I didn’t. For 24 hours. I was emotionally spent from dealing with my family, and while everything was, for the most part, fine, I just didn’t have the energy to reply, not to mention make plans for a date. By Monday afternoon, he caved and sent a novel of a message. He said that he thought it was strange not to have heard from me, and that he could handle it if I didn’t want to continue seeing him, but he just wanted to make sure I was okay. I remember emerging from the subway, seeing his words fill my phone screen, and feeling flooded with both guilt and frustration. Guilt that I’d put him through the turmoil, but frustration over the responsibility of dealing with another person’s emotions at a time when I felt so drained. On an impulse, I dialed him right then and broke things off. “I don’t think I’m a good person to date right now,” I said, which is, of course, really just the coward’s way of saying you’re not interested in seeing someone again. We said good-bye and hung up. When I woke up the next morning, I hadn’t exactly changed my mind, but I felt that there was still something between us worth exploring, or at least talking about. So I texted him to propose the third date he had been trying to schedule when I dumped him. Not Sunset Park, just a quiet dinner at his place. And so we found ourselves sitting on his living room floor, with chicken thighs, wine, and later homemade chocolate chip cookies, discussing the possibility of continuing to see each other but ending our texting relationship. He said he was trying to finish a draft of a book, so he needed long stretches of uninterrupted time to focus on work. Putting his phone on airplane mode wouldn’t do — he didn’t love the idea of a text from me just sitting there, going unanswered for hours on end. If I needed to be in touch, he wanted to be there. He said he wanted to find a way to keep the fire of his productivity going while also investing in me. Maybe, we thought, ruling text messages out altogether would be a weird way to do that. We set the date for our next hang, kissed good night, and that was that. In the past, dating someone new would leave me drained and weirdly sad. It wasn’t that I was unsure of the guy’s feelings; it happened with people who I knew really liked me. Looking back, I think the sadness came from a subconscious knowing that the person wasn’t right for me — but at the time, I didn’t have the space to fully process that, in part because I was available at all times via my phone. Even if I didn’t respond to a text right away, the message would be hanging over me and firing warning signs back in the other direction. Unlike a friendship, where not responding to a text for two hours (or two days?) is acceptable, in dating, both the act of texting and not texting communicate something. How fast or how slow you respond says something to the other person. But this time, I felt excited and energized. With texting off the table, I found I could live my own life much more easily. I’d just made a career change and had a new block of free time. I was eager to use that time exactly how I wanted: reading, writing, eating, cooking and exploring my city on my own time. I was excited to be dating someone new, but I didn’t want that to overtake this crucial downtime for me, which I was using to gain clarity on the direction and purpose of my own life. I spent my days exactly as I saw fit, and while I did, my mind wasn’t filled with worry over when he would text me or whether I should text him; my hand didn’t reflexively reach for my phone a dozen plus times a day. Anticipation took that anxiety’s place: I was excited to tell him about all the things I was reading, seeing, and doing. I had so many questions for him: How was his week? How was his writing? What did he eat? What was he reading? There was so much to talk about. The less we were in touch, the better it was once we were together. Conversation poured out of us as if we had been turned upside down. We could barely keep up, often having to go back to complete a thought before jumping to the next subject. But most importantly, I could miss him. And doing so helped me understand how I felt about this person, something that had been clouded by all the superfluous, though sweet, communication in the past. I liked him, a lot. I couldn’t wait to see him again. But in the meantime, I’d focus on my own life. By Clara Artschwager |
There are significant, real-world benefits to having an accepted and recognized identity. That’s why the concept of a digital identity is being pursued around the world, from Australia to India. From airports to health records systems, technologists and policy makers with good intentions are digitizing our identities, making modern life more efficient and streamlined. Governments seek to digitize their citizens in an effort to universalize government services, while the banking, travel, and insurance industries aim to create more seamless processes for their products and services. But this isn’t just about efficiency and market share. In places like Syria and Jordan, refugees are often displaced without an identity. Giving them proof of who they are can improve their settlement, financial security, and job prospects in foreign lands. But as someone who has tracked the advantages and perils of technology for human rights over the past ten years, I am nevertheless convinced that digital ID, writ large, poses one of the gravest risks to human rights of any technology that we have encountered. Worse, we are rushing headlong into a future where new technologies will converge to make this risk much more severe. For starters, we are building near-perfect facial recognition technology and other identifiers, from the human gait to breath to iris. Biometric databases are being set up in such a way that these individual identifiers are centralized, insecure, and opaque. Then there is the capacity for geo-location of identifiers—that is, the tracking of digital “you”—in real time. A constant feed of insecure data from the Internet of Things may well connect you (and your identity) to other identities and nodes on the network without your consent. In addition, systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning are used to make decisions based on our identities. Those systems are often built on data that can reinforce bias and discrimination, and are wielded without sufficient transparency or human review. Ultimately, social credit systems, such as those that are currently being developed in China, will be based on digital ID, thereby enabling or disabling our full and free participation in society. By developing these technologies in parallel with systems for a digital ID, we are not simply establishing an identity to access basic social services. Digital IDs will become necessary to function in a connected digital world. This has not escaped the attention of authoritarian regimes. Already, they are working to splinter the internet, collect and localize data, and impose regimes of surveillance and control. Digital ID systems, as they are being developed today, are ripe for exploitation and abuse, to the detriment of our freedoms and democracies. We can make another choice. In the design and deployment of Digital ID systems, we must advocate for the principles of data minimization, decentralization, consent, and limited access that reinforce our fundamental rights. First, that means the use of a digital ID should not be mandated. We should have the option to say no to any demand that we have a digital ID, without prejudice or negative repercussions. Our cybersecurity needs to be defended. The Aadhaar program, India’s national digital ID framework—the world’s largest—was recently shown to be compromised. For a digital ID system to work without becoming an easy target for hacking, it should be decentralized and otherwise adhere to recognized principles for good digital security. One single digital identity used for authentication of multiple contexts creates the potential for pervasive profiling. Likewise, our capacity for anonymity must be preserved. Our data needs to be protected. Governments are data fiduciaries, and data protection authorities, non-governmental legal experts, and civil society should therefore be consulted in the administrative, legislative, and technical design of digital ID systems. In the case of Aadhaar, a recent ruling by the Supreme Court of India recognized the need for a robust data protection framework. Transparency is essential. Without transparency, there is no accountability, and few pathways for remedy of human rights abuse. Finally, access to our data by state authorities must be governed by relevant international legal standards, particularly the “Necessary and Proportionate” principles. Personal information provided for one purpose should not be made available for identification for law enforcement purposes, without being subject to these vital legal standards. We cannot continue on the current path without stopping to build in necessary human rights protections to mitigate harm. Our civil liberties should be the foundation upon which digital ID technologies, platforms, and systems are being constructed. Otherwise, in the quest to create a digital identity for the benefit of many, our fundamental rights can and will crumble.

Are they trying to put a halt to western education in this country or what? A country where they parents earn an everage of 30k monthly? But when you have a president who only has a WAEC (some say its fake) at the helm of affairs and no one is even talking about it, what do you expect. "The dwindling forest of trees keep voting the axe because it's handle is made of wood and they think it is one of them". |

There is this one I'm about to hook up with. Every time I asked her for a video chat she has turned me down and this is seriously dulling me from inviting her over. Don't get me wrong, her photos are minty...fresh and all but I'm a techies geek and I know what's available on mobile app stores for beautification. I don't want to get my hopes up only to have them dashed. |

deomelo:But my guy where were you when your mates were winning from YOUWIN and SURE-P programmes. My father got empowered through YOUWIN and I'm managing the business today after his demise. |
Minjim:The change is that after three and half years, the govt can afford to give 30$ to 30000 petty traders in Osun state. At the eve of an election. Use your head. PDP gave them nothing. APC did worse, they rubbed the 'nothing' on their lips and noses so they can smell and taste the national cake but never get a real bite. And someone had the guts to say "at all at all na im bad pass". Shame on the electorate. Our mumu never do. |

They all went to help carry the borrowed money home? Foolish leaders. Shared Abacha's $328m just to go borrow another $300m to upgrade telecom. As if our browsers and calls are not going with GLOs wonderful rates. |
