FRC Code of Conduct was used against Sanusi, albeit in a manipulative way. They asked him to step away in order to investigate what they eventually never investigated.

Monetary policies/ regulations had stability at that time, the fiscal was always the problem.

I waited to make sure I'm not the only one to criticize Ymodulus' post. The Tomatoe business was the only one I see as an ethical business he did. The others were simply not ethical. Round tripping, deceit etc were all I saw with his other businesses.

It is for the same of people like him that our currency was losing its value and forex was becoming difficult to access. He should ordinarily be in jail for all falsification of intentions he wrote up there. That is why they were not sustainable or replicable across time and space.

Lowest level of thoughts candidly....are they meant to be grading their roads year in year out? Or have it tarred and always maintained?

The job of a Representative ideally is to always call the attention of the Executive arm of government to the plights and needs of the people being given representation, but here in our country, this is twisted.

Will the equipment be maintained? No is the no brainer
BusinessRe: EFCC Detains Tunde Ayeni, Ex Skye Bank Chairman, Over N1bn Bribe To Ex-fct Minis by leighcon(m): 2:49pm On Nov 26, 2016

shaiba:
Agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested and detained Tunde Ayeni, a former chairman of Skye Bank, over allegations that he bribed a former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Bala Mohammed, to acquire 54 plots of land in Abuja, the Nigerian capital.

Two EFCC sources told SaharaReporters that Mr. Ayeni was arrested yesterday and has remained in detention because he was initially uncooperative.

One of our sources added that Mr. Ayeni is also being investigated for playing roles in several other deals involving former First Lady Patience Jonathan and a former head of state, Abubakar Abdulsalam, who co-owns a telecommunications company with the former banking executive.

Our sources disclosed that Mr. Ayeni was still undergoing interrogation and may remain in detention as investigators work hard to unearth his many deals.

CelebritiesRe: Student Uses Falz As A Case Study For Her Project by leighcon(m):
More like you did not grasp that we're on the same page. I was correcting the fellow who wrote that this was not a case study.

I really couldn't phantom the kind of research done without getting in touch with the researched subject.

redcliff:
Oga the thesis is wrong in every ramification. You cannot do something like this abroad and go scott free. You must repeat it. Al the tenets of a grounded esearch was disregarded. Its obvious this gyal just wrote a story book amd did not interview falz. As you can see the 'storybook' is already in a finished state.
CelebritiesRe: Student Uses Falz As A Case Study For Her Project by leighcon(m): 1:02am On Nov 26, 2016
I did not see any Wiki posted, but I'm posting excerpts of what I found on Wikipedia for knowledge sake.


A case study is about a person, group, or situation that has been studied over time.[1] If the case study, for instance, is about a group, it describes the behavior of the group as a whole, not the behavior of each individual in the group.

Case studies can be produced by following a formal research method. These case studies are likely to appear in formal research venues, as journals and professional conferences, rather than popular works. The resulting body of 'case study research' has long had a prominent place in many disciplines and professions, ranging from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and political science to education, clinical science, social work, and administrative science.[2][3]

In doing case study research, the "case" being studied may be an individual, organization, event, or action, existing in a specific time and place. For instance, clinical science has produced both well-known case studies of individuals and also case studies of clinical practices.[4][5][6] However, when "case" is used in an abstract sense, as in a claim, a proposition, or an argument, such a case can be the subject of many research methods, not just case study research.

Thomas[7] offers the following definition of case study:

"Case studies are analyses of persons, events, decisions, periods, projects, policies, institutions, or other systems that are studied holistically by one or more method. The case that is the subject of the inquiry will be an instance of a class of phenomena that provides an analytical frame — an object — within which the study is conducted and which the case illuminates and explicates."

According to J. Creswell, data collection in a case study occurs over a "sustained period of time."[8]

One approach sees the case study defined as a research strategy, an empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context. Case-study research can mean single and multiple case studies, can include quantitative evidence, relies on multiple sources of evidence, and benefits from the prior development of theoretical propositions.[3] As such, case study research should not be confused with qualitative research, as case studies can be based on any mix of quantitative and qualitative data. Similarly, single-subject research might be taken as case studies of a sort, except that the repeated trials in single-subject research permit the use of experimental designs that would not be possible in typical case studies. At the same time, the repeated trials can provide a statistical framework for making inferences from quantitative data.[9]

The case study is sometimes mistaken[by whom?] for the case method used in teaching, but the two are not the same.


Acidosis:
Please read the excerpt (from Wikipedia) I posted.

I understand your point but it doesn't apply to the differences between a Case and a Case Study.
CelebritiesRe: Student Uses Falz As A Case Study For Her Project by leighcon(m): 9:34pm On Nov 25, 2016
Oga, I'm not a neophyte, I studied in social science and that was more than a decade ago. You failed to explain the differences but I know and will tell you. She researched (studied) Language use in the Entertainment Industry, but used the instance of Falz (case). If the research was The Unique use of Accent by Falz in the Entertainment Industry, this may not require a case study approach, because it is particular in nature. You need a Case when you're researching something very broad like in this case.

You're good?

Acidosis:
Only few Nigerian Lecturers know the hints I stated earlier. Please take it, it is a million dollar knowledge.

A Case Study is different from "a Study".


She didn't do a Case study as reported by the ignorant blogger.

You can conduct a Study on Falz without Falz's knowledge, but you can't conduct a Case Study research on Falz without interviewing Falz.
CelebritiesRe: Student Uses Falz As A Case Study For Her Project by leighcon(m): 2:40pm On Nov 25, 2016
Acidosis:
The topic is wrong. She didn't do a CASE STUDY.

Her cover page clearly states "A STUDY OF FALZ..."

There is a huge difference between a STUDY and a CASE STUDY. The former requires no personal interviews; for the latter, personal in depth interviews are priority!

I've given you a million dollar tutorial wink
Not in this case sir, this is a study of Language use in the Entertainment Industry and the case study is Falz
CelebritiesRe: Student Uses Falz As A Case Study For Her Project by leighcon(m): 2:37pm On Nov 25, 2016
nowpresence:
How she tey do case study of person without interviewing the person through any form.

I wonder what the content is.
Exactly the point, Falz was a Case Study she never met and this research was done in the same country where Falz lives. Terrible things in our Education sector.
PoliticsRe: FG Moves To Rehabilitate Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-PH Express Roads by leighcon(m): 9:18am On Nov 23, 2016
@bolded

There are solutions for every terrain, they only say these stories to justify theft of our commonwealth and their cluelessness. Elsewhere in the world, roads have been built to pass through mountains, rail tunnels have been built under the sea.

victorazy:
Sharap! Don't say what u don't know. That road crossed my village (Okigwe Umuahia) and I know everything about it.

That road has received numbers of touches since it was constructed around 1978-9. The road doesn't last because of the land texture of our area, is not as stony as north that's why roads doesn't las that long. Almost all the leaders has worked on that road. Is true GEJ did not pay attention on it because he was trying to please the north as a good leader, he tot northrs are Nigerians.
PoliticsRe: NNPC May Reduce The Price Of Fuel Soon by leighcon(m): 2:48pm On Nov 21, 2016
Per gallon you meant though....


SillyMods:
This will be a very soothing news.

Better days ahead of us in Nigeria.

In a properly deregulated market, pump price changes from one month to another month, depending on prevailing variables.

For example, I paid about $4.75 per liter in July. It was $4.38 in August and $4.75 in September per liter of petrol. In October, we bought it at $4.9 per liter. So, it's not supposed to be permanently fixed if we do proper deregulation. It can go up or come down depending on many factors.

If it happened on 3rd Mainland Bridge, then there'd have been no "Youths of the Area" poor reporting

winkmart:
A car belonging to the Baale of Akoka Land in Lagos has just had an accident on the 3rd Mainland Bridge. The car somersaulted several times, but no one was reportedly injured. Eye witnesses at the scene claimed the driver of the car was on full speed and appeared so drunk.

Youths in the area trooped to the scene and helped upturn the vehicle.

Car TalkRe: Can You Drive In Lagos Metropolis Without Using Your Vehicle's Horn For A Month? by leighcon(m): 7:41am On Sep 07, 2016
Maybe a month is being overly ambitious, but I know I can do a whole day without needing to honk, except for probably alerting the security at my gate and of course this must be a very light tap.

Let me say that it is not your use of horn that will prevent people from hitting your vehicle, rather, it is a patient driving habit. For a starter, never feel your ego has been bruised whenever another vehicle switches lane to get in front of you like one smart driver. Let him or her go get an award at home for outsmarting drivers on the road.

Never see pedestrians as hindrances on the road, one day you will be a pedestrian too, if it is in the dark flash your headlamps, in the day, you can do light taps.

Lastly, know the rules of driving and what the signs mean.

Shikena!

TravelRe: Multiple Accident At Ozumba Mbadiwe, Lagos (photos) by leighcon(m): 10:40am On Mar 24, 2016
streetzdreamz:
its very obvious,na dem sabi drive pass!!you slam hard on your brake and your tyres screeches for a few distance before the vehicle stops,i guess friction is the culprit behind that scenario.
19 years highway driving experience here.

You are the one not getting it sir. The cause of the accident cannot be sudden slamming of brakes, otherwise, you are inferring that every time we slam brakes, we must ram into objects in front of us.

The multiple accident was caused obviously by disobedience of a combination of driving rules, such as;

Not maintaining safe driving distance
Too much speed for the location
Rushing to beat traffic light (as postulated) that would have allowed them only if they can wait 2-3 minutes at the maximum
Not knowing that Amber on traffic light means get ready(to move or to stop), in either case must be done at dead speed
Use of mobile phone without a hands-free accessory (as postulated)
Mentality of not wanting to allow any vehicle to drive in front of you, like there's a competition
TravelRe: Multiple Accident At Ozumba Mbadiwe, Lagos (photos) by leighcon(m): 9:10am On Mar 24, 2016
curiositymaster:
I don't think this applies on Lagos roads (except you want to be 5hrs late).

Allowing that kind of space will give the opportunists (which unfortunately comprises more than 80% Lagos drivers) just enough room to get in front of you.
And what do you lose when they get in front of you? Another possible reason for the accident, imaginary competition on the road.
