yea, I am proud to b a fisherman than sending my daughters to Italy for prostitution.
Naw that the ijaws are begging you guys, you wouldn't give heed, when we start na una go cry foul.
we are watching you Edo over year in bayelsa and any love-vendor or trying to attack the ijaw, we ijaw in the south south will retaliate.[/quote]Hey look here, the last time I checked, the name Benins is the same thing as fear.
The fact that we the youths like to travel out of the country to go make a living for ourselves is not an opportunity for a little tribe like ijaw to become a threat tothe binis.
We are not the oil workers oyibo that you kidnapped. We are the binis, the warrior. Ask your father's, they know better.

Science/TechnologyMicrochip Implants. by lesson44(op): 2:41am On Aug 04, 2017
A vending machine software firm recently implanted about four dozen of its employees with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) microchips that it says will allow the employees to navigate the office more conveniently. But the move has raised concerns about potential ethical and security issues.

Three Square Market, based in Riverdale, Wisconsin, said it surgically implanted the chips in about 50 volunteers on Tuesday, giving the workers the ability to make purchases, unlock doors, log into computers and perform other office functions with just the wave of a hand. The firm employs 95 workers at its Wisconsin location and has more than 200 other employees stationed around the globe.

Three Square Market’s Chief Operating Officer, Patrick McMullan, estimates that the technology will become standardized within the next decade or so, eventually allowing people use their chips for passports, public transit and various purchasing opportunities. He, too, was microchipped, and said the program was "going well" since its implementation.

"The reality is, it’s coming and it’s coming soon," McMullan told ABC News. "And I think you’re going to see a whole new wave of people who are wanting to get into this.”

The company, which also operates about 6,000 inmate kiosks through its corrections industry business, says the chips are safe and encrypted to protect the user’s data, but some security and technology experts are questioning if the implants are ethical.

Three Square Market says the chips are less invasive than mobile phones and apps, which it says are rich with all types of GPS tracking data.

Michael Zimmer, director of the Center for Information Policy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, said the implants are fundamentally different than other technologies because the user has less control over the experience.

“With my phone, I can turn it off, I can to leave it at my desk and I can control the apps that I have access to,” Zimmer told ABC News. “There are a lot more ways that I can manage what people know about me.”

With the chip implant, “I simply lose that element on control because I can’t turn it off and I can’t just take it out and put it back in,” he said. “I think that’s a fundamental change in the way we control what access people have to our bodies and what we’re doing.”

He’s also worried that the chips could eventually lead to larger scale tracking of one's movements and behaviors -- such as what you purchase or how long you stay in the restroom -- as the technology evolves.

“I think we need to be a little more cautious, making sure that we’re not going too quickly and that we understand the implications,” Zimmer said. “There are some things that we need to make sure we’re paying attention to before we start walking down this path.”

Three Square Market said the chips lack GPS capability and it is not interested in tracking its employees. And the chipping program will never become mandatory for employees, McMullan said.

Microchip implants could cross ethical boundaries “if done recklessly, but we’re not going to be reckless,” McMullan acknowledged, adding that the company would notify its employees if it ever decided to track their behavior or use their data.

However, Michelle De Mooy, a privacy and data expert at the Center for Democracy & Technology, believes the company will gain an "intrinsic understanding of where you were and when" because RFID tags are trackers by design.


De Mooy said many companies have explored external employee tracking and sensor technology in recent years, but she said the implantation aspect is fairly new.

“When you have RFID chips implanted into the body, it really crosses the traditional boundaries of personal space,” De Mooy told ABC News. “It also raises the really profound ethical questions about what an employee should or should not be able to introduce in such a skewed power environment.”

Right now, the chips are mostly being explored for convenience or health benefits, but De Mooy said people should ask companies what they do with the data that’s collected.

“What if they decide to do other kinds of more intrusive tracking -- like sleep tracking or behavioral tracking -- where do the consent mechanisms come into place?” De Mooy asked.

De Mooy said it’s a plus that the chips will be encrypted, which she says can help with security vulnerabilities, but she noted that it is “not a silver bullet for every situation.”

She added, “Think about what we are willing to trade for convenience and what our pound of flesh is worth in this context.”

Why don't you look up the definition of the word antivenin before responding ignorantly? Antivenin or Antivenene is a biological product (antiserum) used in the treatment of venomous bites. It contains antibodies against specific poisons especially those in the venom of snakes.

To make it easy to understand, It's me saying to the op, "give your dog Panadol", and you replying "Paracetamol you mean".

BusinessRe: When Naira Was Naira by lesson44: 9:31pm On Mar 22, 2017
9jakohai:
And oil was at $110 and above.

And we had enough forex flowing in as a result.

And we could afford to let in lots of foriegn investors because they could remit their money home easily (With so much flowing in CBN did not need to do restriction stuff).

By the way....in 1978....N1=$1

Then we were
No 1 in palm oil
No 2 in cocoa
Top5 groundnut producer
Top 5 cotton producer
Top 5 beninseed producer
Top 5 tin and comlumbite producer
Modest exporter of gold. (oh yes!)
Enjoying an oil boom.
Manufacturing things like biscuit, batteries, cars, tyres, etc at home.

If we want to get back there....either we

1.Become productive, which most Nigerians do not like because we like oyinbo and chinese stuff.

2.Allow naira to float...which most Nigerians do not like because we are so fixiated on a strong currency (with nothing to export).

3.Fast and pray that oil goes back to $100 and above (in our dreams).

4.Take a loan to improve power, rail, road and education as a matter of interest. (Hey, South Korea did it in the 1960's).

5.Start buying Nigerian

6.Cut all subsides, and raise taxes, power bills, etc (which most Nigerians do not like because we think that we should pay N10 per liter for fuel, and N100 per semester as university fees).

You want a strong currency.....then work for it. Be prepared for more hardship. Stop waiting for oil. Start producing. Improve your education. Read Field Ruwe everyday.

Yes...all of you asking Buhari to return our currency back to where it was...by the time you realise how tough a road that is going to be...you will keep quiet and beg him to keep pumping dollars. Well...the dollars are not enough.

Time we got some work done.

FamilyRe: My Sister Married An Impotent Man by lesson44: 3:50pm On Mar 19, 2017
The problem is most likely an anxiety. Tell your sister not pressure him. She should tell him sweet words to boost his ego. Like, we are in it together, I believe you are a strong man and we going to get through this temptation and divorce is not an option for us.
The guy should also check his blood pressure to see if it normal. Otherwise it should get some treatment on it.
Diabetes is can also cause a man to lost his erection sometime. If the guy is obese, running 20 mins. 3 to 4 time in a week is advised.
The man should also try to reduces his stress level.
Anyone that can get a morning erection is not impotence.
Tell your sister to hide her frustration, it bad for the man, cause it him to lose his self-esteem. Trust me, the man go soon perform.

London took the top spot, because people said it has a "well-developed infrastructure," is well-connected globally and has a "well-developed legal framework." The city also received high marks in education and access to capital.
Paris came in at No. 2 because of its reputation as a trend-setter. Also, people think of it as a great destination for entertainment and food.
New York City placed third because of its"economic power," entertainment, setting trends and "having a well-developed physical and technological infrastructure. "Points against this city — traffic congestion and high cost of living.Here is the official ranking:
1. London
2. Paris
3. New York
4. Amsterdam
