salary is for slaves.

The term salary comes from the Latin word salarium which translates to salt.

Salt was at one time a very precious commodity in the old world.

The roman soldiers were not paid wages during active service but salt rations which they used to batter for goods and services (woman comfort services) within their local posting. The salt rations were the only thing a Roman soldier was guaranteed. Other forms of compensation were from war booties (if you survived the battle) and a soldier's share was determined by rank and number of survivors. If a Roman soldier then survives a series of campaigns inspired by despotic Generals, he is guaranteed a pension depending on the largess-es of his General. Most soldiers were conscripted by force from the mines or prisons so a retirement meant an end of servitude. Others more fortunate may own a plot of land in servitude to the General in his rural villa.

Not much has changed since for your average salt earner.

The phrase worth his/her salt comes to mind.

jmaine: How does humidity impact heavily on fire spread when it has the benefit of hoghly combustible material packed close to each other

Guess your not aware that wood shavings are extremely combustible material . . .

The humidity won't be a problem if arson involving additional flammable solvents are added.

I can imagine how the market will be, with wet wood shavings and mud from the constant daily rains and high humidity.

These markets have existed long before your apocalyptic warnings.

So please just shut up and think before you post more rubbish

Unknown Member: This is a lesson to Plank marketers...

In Port Harcourt, there is one in Iloabuchi. Whenever I visit that Market, I wonder how these people can operate under such conditions. Infact, you can't see the solid ground anymore. You are walking on over 5 meters think/high wood shavings. In the case of a fire outbreak in that market, I'm sorry, all shops there will be burnt down in matter of minutes. Those wood shavings are worse than petrol. A cigarette stub dropped carelessly on the ground, PHCN fluctuations, a badly kept lantern or even lighting sef and that market is definitely going down. And the access to the market is so poor that fire fighters would be handicapped to help..

I pity the traders sha. But Fashola should step in, rebuild that market and put in place proper waste management systems for them. All wood shavings must be swept up and properly disposed of. The inferno I saw in the photos, it is a miracle that residential houses weren't affected.looked like a U.S bush fire.

in humid Lagos and PHC the flames will not have spread so fast and would have been easily controlled.

This is pure arson, the place was doused with fuel and the guards mysteriously vanished.

Soldering was never meant to be easy but this battle goes down in all classic studies both within the historic and conventional warfare as the most brutal, lopsided and tactically most superior in both fire power and command.

The Vietnam war is seen as a lost war in today's history books but in reality the Americans did kick and kill enuff Vietcong and NVA butt.

The Battle of Ia Drang marked a critical period in the war to suppress communism in Vietnam both ideologically and military wise.

Till this day no single battle has been won given the odds those marines and calvary unit came against.

The Huey and helicopter won it's place in modern warfare in it's ability to inject men and boots in the thick of action. Tactical air-support also came in to military parlance and operation when the legendary Col. Hal declared and requested for close air support with the emergency code "Broken-Arrow"

Politics › Battle Of Ia Drang: LZ XRAY by LeOstrich(op): 1:53pm On Mar 03, 2013

The Battle of Ia Drang was the first major battle between regulars of the United States Army and regulars of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN / NVA) of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The two-part battle took place between November 14 and November 18, 1965, at two landing zones (LZs) northwest of Plei Me in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam (approximately 35 miles south-west of Pleiku) as part of the U.S. airmobile offensive codenamed Operation Silver Bayonet. The battle derives its name from the Drang River which runs through the valley northwest of Plei Me, in which the engagement took place. "Ia" means "river" in the local Montagnard language.
Representing the American forces were elements of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division: the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, and the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, facing elements of the B3 Front of the PAVN (including the 304 Division) and Viet Cong. The battle involved close air support by U.S. aircraft and a strategic bombing strike by the B-52s. The initial Vietnamese assault against the landing 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry at LZ X-Ray was repulsed after two days and nights of heavy fighting on November 14-16. However, the follow-up surprise attack on November 17 that overran the marching column of 7th Cavalry 2nd Battalion near the LZ Albany was the most deadly ambush of a U.S. unit during the course of the entire war. About half of some 300 American deaths in the 35-day Operation Silver Bayonet happened in just this one fight that lasted 16 hours.
The battle was documented in the CBS special report Battle of Ia Drang Valley by Morley Safer and the critically acclaimed book We Were Soldiers Once… And Young by Harold G. Moore and Joseph L. Galloway. In 2002, Randall Wallace depicted the first part of the battle in the film We Were Soldiers starring Mel Gibson and Barry Pepper as Moore and Galloway, respectively. In 2007, the National Geographic Channel also aired a documentary program Day Under Fire: Vietnam War.

ayd91: unemployable graduates? Please speak for yourself.
Its okay to condemn yourself but you don't have the right to condemn the entire products of Nigerian Universities.

He doesn't fully understand what the term unemployable graduate means.

@Tunde: For your info, to be unemployable your initial skills and qualification are either not relevant or are not competent enough to fill the current labor market demands and does not mean stagnant or declining employment levels within a society. The average Nigerian graduate does not have the skill required to gain employment in the first place.
