its not about cost any longer. now am into learning about cable generally. own a few decoders from different provders but am a neophyte when it comes to installation and other key technical stuff.

I guess you want to create jobs for unscrupulous romanian hackers. spoofing that process is pretty simple. all we need is the IP address or the phone number of the INEC contact points. Of course there might be addition of PIN codes to enable us add more authentication but what stops the incumbent president through the NCC from interfering with the process.\

All he has to do is inform them that tax will be increased pending some negotiation. Closed door meeting would instantly lead to a PDP victory. C'est fini.

Please add the title or something similar to your signatures.

nwa afo:
cant get what u mean, are u ok?

very very Ok sir. Just irritated that people will block the way to Christ with so much useless dross.

And irritated at a faith that allows its members to live only in the superficial observance of christianity and not allow them experience its deep truths.

A faith that artificially creates a hallowed elite (even tho the truths on which the faith is supposedly based are egalitarian---All have sinned and fallen short. NO ONE IS INFALLIBLE).

Anytime, boss.

Speak for yourself. The SW is totally in support of the North.

The only tribe we hate, like others, is the Igbos.

You guys can get the phock outta this country, we dont care.

SW + SS + North - SE ( aka fake medicine production country aka land of ritualists aka Okijaland aka world HQ of kidnappers aka African Head office for Cannibalism aka certificate forgery INC secretariat) = Sai Nigeria

It is clear you are running out of alphabets. Previously it was Ystranger now its zstranger.



@Nadanbata We are taking care of those leaders one step at a time. thats why we keep kicking out despots in the southwest while you chase yours around with feeding bowls. rest assured that NYSC is damaged and we will wage war against that scheme with all the energy we can muster. nigerian youths mobilised themselves for this election and got killed, rest assured that they possess the clout to stage a boycott of that stupid scheme.

By the grace of God we will scrap NYSC.

Fool yourselves. Hopefully you will rest after the elections tomorrow.


HE WILL WIN EMPHATICALLY.


Lagos Voted for PDP not because they hate fashola or ACN but they feel ribadu is a joker and Buhari (contrary to what you think on the web) was never liked by the average Lagosian.

The Origin of Eko (Lagos)   There is a lot of traditional history at both Benin and Lagos ends relating to the origin of what is now Lagos, its ruler and it's connection with Benin. But perhaps to avoid inadequacies and controversy which the academics claim surrounds traditional history, we may like to hear what some modern historians have to say on this subject. Robert S. Smith, in his book of some principal Yoruba owns, especially in and around Oyo, and the westward expansion in the 17th century of Benin Kingdom with it's number of subject towns on or near to the coast, which included Lagos, went on to say this about Lagos in particular: "It's name reflect it's past to the Yoruba it's Eko, deriving probably from the farm (Oko) of the earliest settlers, though alternatively-or additionally-it may be the Benin word (Eko) for a war-camp, We say Eko is a Benin word that means camp" After describing the activities of the armies of Benin under Oba Orhogbua, culminating in his arrival at what is now Lagos, Smith went on to add: "Sometime later the Oba appointed a ruler for Lagos to represent the interest of Benin and to forward tribute there. The man chosen is named in both Lagos and Benin Tradition as Ashipa" Smith says that by Lagos account this Ashipa was an Isheri Chief, while the Benin account says Ashipa was a grandson of the Oba of Benin. We shall come to this later. Smith was, however, satisfied that Benin had established it's ascendency in Lagos and had founded a dynasty there at some period before 1700.The dyansty's dependence on Benin, Smith found, was emphasized by the appointment of another Chief, the Eletu Odibo, who alone had the right to crown the Oba and who in early times probably maintained close connection with Benin,.(Eletu Odibo is a corruption of the Edo equivalent Olotu Odibo) "G.T. Stride and C. Ifeka, in their book titled Peoples and empires pf West Africa have this to say on the same subject: Oba Orhogbua was clearly a strong warrior for he enforced tribute payments from all parts of the empire and in the middle 1550s conquered all the coastal lands up to Lagos where he left a permanent garrison. Tradition in Lagos says that their first Oba, the Eleko of Eko, was a son of the Oba Orhogbua of Benin" It will be seen, therefore, that even if we were to disregard traditional history there is enough material from modern historians to confirm the fact that what is now Lagos was founded by an Oba of Benin who also gave it it's first ruler. But we really cannot disregard traditional history. In Benin tradition, and we believe the same of Yoruba and other ethnic groups in this country, one way to establish that an event in traditional history did occur is by the type of anecdote or adage that evolves from that event . Thus, for instance, We Edo people say that "Orhogbua gb'Olague,ona y'ukpe abekpen z'umwen rie Edo, meaning that Oba Orhogbua defeated Olague and used sword to bring his salt to Benin, This is in allusion of to the exploits of Oba Orhogbua while in his camp (Eko) from where he over-ran the place known as Mahin with it's ruler whom the Benin People nicknamed Olague. There Orhogbua discovered the common rock salt and brought it to Benin who thereby tasted it for the first time. Now the name "Ashipa has featured quite prominently (and rightly too) in the history of Lagos. After the Oba Orhogbua returned to Benin from Eko, he appointed a commander or an administrator, who was called Aisikpa to look after the skeleton troop left in the camp(Eko) until he returned again from Benin. He could no longer return having seen the situation at home. The name "Aisikpahienvoborre" which means "people do not desert their home-land. "This is how Aisikpa, whom the Yoruba now call Ashipa, came into the Lagos (Eko) history. Eko is still there as the traditional Benin name for Lagos; Ashipa has been retained as a senior traditional chieftaincy title while his descendants now retain the modern name of Oba of Lagos. The interaction of Edo people with others in distant lands must have inevitably resulted in cultural exchanges. Excerpts From a Lecture on the Evolution of Traditional rulership in Nigeria given under the auspices of the University of Ibadan, Institute of African studies on 11th September,1984 by Omo N'Oba N'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Erediauwa.

The Oba of Benin can continue trying to deny his origin, lets see where his head will be buried when he dies.

As for the word Ashipa, please note that its a deeply yoruba title. The ashipa is usually the head of the secret cults in different places. The Oyo Empire has always had an Ashipa for as long as it existed. It is definitely not a Benin title. That we do not have in the Oyo kingdom right now is because the last one died in controversial circumstances under Abacha rule.



Refer to the post directly above mine for true history.

I guess the NANS officials would be useful in this respect. People in different universities should contact their various SUG presidents or if they cant, they can name them here so that people with contacts to them can find them and get them on this project.

lol

Rent for a good 2-bed flat in ph is 350k minimum./annum. (2 years rent: minimum 700k + 70k agency initially).
Gen + Nepa: 120k/annum
Transport 240k to 500k
Feeding: 500k


Good salary might be 3m/annum i.e 250k. so you can have some leftover.

Omenuko:
The Mass is the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The term is used also of similar celebrations in Old Catholic Churches, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, in some largely High Church Lutheran regions, including the Scandinavian and Baltic countries, and in a small amount of High Church Methodist parishes. For the celebration of the Eucharist in Eastern Churches, including those in full communion with the Holy See, other terms, such as the Divine Liturgy, the Holy Qurbana, and the Badarak, are normally used. Most Western denominations not in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, such as Calvinist Christianity, also usually prefer terms other than Mass.


The term "Mass" is derived from the late-Latin word missa (dismissal), a word used in the concluding formula of Mass in Latin: "Ite, missa est" ("Go; it is the dismissal".[1]

unnecessarily ornate traditions just to serve God. #smh

@Seun laughs. In the light of recent events, what do you think of this thread?

Is the Great One still interested in his post? lol.


Guess the satire bit got corrupted.

Guess someone at Multichoice was taking notes. They crashed the price down anyway. Still interested though.

I dont use MTN. my proxy is actually based outside the country and I still get those issues. just wanted to bring that up.

dominique:
so we're going to take his word for it? how about the dead man, how will we get to hear his side of the story? that's no justifiable reason to murder IMO.

I pray it never happens to me. I might decide to copy the killer slowly and in a more academic fashion.

I am a christian and would not be party to teaching you how to better worship in a different way.

However, if they wont scrap it, then a better option might be to build a better almajiri institution.

As in building an islamic Mayflower-type institution (Mayflower ikenne started by Tai Solarin) that actually teaches them what they want to learn but at the same time feeds and empowers the almajiri.

That way they graduate from school , literate in the islamic tradition, disciplined from years of rigidly controlled boarding sustainably supported by their effort (in mayflower students farm, bake , knit and do so many things) and dignified with their hearts and minds protected from the degradation of begging while protecting us from the effects of barbaric twisted imams using them for their own ends.

If their parents want to give them up, no problem.

We simply take them and train them up to be literate, islamic and disciplined.

Its a win win for every body.

Parents: They can spend their irresponsible lives doing other things while we train their children and ensure they get fed.
besides the kids would later respect them (even if they did not take care of them) for sending them to THIS almajiri institution.

Govt: Less Crime. Less Riots. Ready labour force (use them for building the school itself only).

Northern politicians: Chance to gain rep by sponsoring the feeding of the children hosted there.

Southerners: We dont get slaughtered and our refined senses are not subjected to the sights and smells of unwashed almajiri beggars.

PROPOSAL:
Number: Four in each northern state, housing 1500 kids each. (19 x 4 x 1500 =) 114000 kids.

Target Demographic: we bring them in at age 8 and send them out of the system at age 18 (man enough to handle themselves).

Other Issues: sex-segregated. Vocational certification on graduation.

Language of Instruction: Hausa, Kanuri, Arabic languages,. English learning only (if they dont want science but we will teach them how to read and place a library conveniently on site. you will be amazed what curious kids can do).

Funding Plan:
max 14 to 15m to set up each one. 60m max total.
Sponsor Percentage Expected cost Dollar Equivalent
Government 50% , (N570,000,000) $3.67m
local govt 5%, (57,000,000) $.367m
State 30% (342,000,000) $2.206m
UNICEF,USAID & NGOs 15% (171,000000) $1.103m


Needed: Law against unregistered schools. unofficial training and breeding by any mallam considered tantamount to child slavery and punishable as such. minimum 7 years.

Critical Success factors: Convincing Northern politicians to go along. Getting NGOS/ Donors to buy in.
