i believe we can use CARE to impact children than CANE, cane can never make any child brilliant instead they Will be afraid of learning, nd even to assimilate what they learn na pallava... Sumtimes words can stand as cane, since they are not goat i believe they will easily change
hmmm, listen I understand all you said and someone I am surprisely buying into it...but the truth is; with a projection back to when I was growing up, it truly sound foreign to me to hear things like 'cane ... will make someone to be afraid of learning'...o boy, the fear of cane was the beginning of wisdom then, we learnt by force and by fire...

I don't know, maybe things have changed and cane have turned to negative. I think the jury is still out and time will tell if the way we are bringing up our kids today will really give them all the necessary qualities to be rugged and tough enough to face the type of challenges we went through.

Wickedness at its peak. Teachers flogging students like they are frustrated.
That is how we grew up and learned in Nigeria then and we are better for it.

In fact, it came to a point that, we mastered various methods of enduring those canes without showing any sign and emotions and after the ordeal, look at how your fellow guys and girls will be congratulating you to the disdain of the teacher, sometimes the teacher will even be feeling shameful if we did not show any emotions despite their best efforts.

I got lots of bragging rights then, today's kids are aja butter, imagine how no one is talking about the kid's failure to do his assigment, even the bible said; spare the rod and spoil the child.

Na wao! If them wake up to baff around 4am, you should wake up around 3am or 2am or even take your bath the night prior.

This is a temporary housing for you, so some temporary pains are okay.

Technically, the landlady can't evict you like that, if you are up to date on your rent, go and explain the situation to her, eat the humble pie for now, while you are focus on the bigger picture, switch your bathing time, so that you can avoid conflicts with this other lady. The truth is, it is not worth the trouble.

Resulting to insulting people or calling them names does not change the fact that your initial post is myopic and ill conceived.

BTW, you do not have a monopoly in understanding written English, most people that have commented about your post drew the exact same conclusion and they are from diverse background and geographical locations and you still think they are all wrong.

We all make mistakes, and saying you misspoke is noble...but you are only making yourself sound uneducated in arguing that, your words did not mean what they clearly indicates and conveys and somehow everyone didn't understand them.

**** How is the step mother whoring around? Is she still married? Is she having sex with multiple men? She is single and having a boyfriend is allowed as she is not cheating. That house is also her house so it also belongs to her. So must she go and do it outside or do it in a hotel for the rest of her life? So all those men who remarried new wives or in relationships should also respect their deceased wife by never spending time with them at their own house? Surely you are not this moronic. I am suspicious about the son in law. I won't be surprised that he has the hoohah for his step mother and that's why he was so against the relationship and attacked the guy. He could have spoken to his mother in law sincerely about it but he decided to kill instead. I mean if you stab someone in the head what did he expect would happen
*GBAM! The vow was until death do us part, death have parted them period! And she is not obligated to him, plus the house is her's.

She can whoree around with the whole men in her village, buh she should give the late husband respect and stay off the house when fvcking!

The guy shouldn't have stabbed the lover.
too bad the imbe.cile is dead, we can't get his own side of the story sad undecided
The husband is late for crying out loud and that is where the lady lives, that is her house.

If we revised roles and a guy whose wife is late is bringing his lover to his own house, where he lives; society and yourself will not see anything wrong with that or would you have want the guy to go out?

There is nothing in the story that indicates that, the lady is a whoree as you are insinuating, unless having a bf/gf is tantamount to 'whoring' in your books, we are in a free society the last time I checked and they have not committed any crime.

Agreed, some might argue that, their moral compass is disoriented, but that depends on which compass lenses you are useinh to view their act.

Sowore has "odeshe" and is honestly a gift to Nigeria.
I remember one time, he visited and the MFM video, but in most occasions, he sneaks in unannounced and sneaks.

His American citizenship/Residency only gives him legal cloth if his advisaries wants to engage him in the open, justly and legally...but all that will not hold, if they decide to deal with just like they deal with their fellow political rivals in Nigeria.

Why can't the FG have such Intel..

I think Goodluck Jonathan should be blamed for this
There are many ordinary Nigerians who are honest and want to report ill in the society but for fear of their lives, jobs and those of their friends and relatives.

All they need is someone that can truly protect their privacy, the problem almost all the media in Nigeria cannot afford that level of privacy and not because they choose to but some start off by protecting their informant but affect a few intimidation or shack down by the high and powerful things will start leaking out.

Sahara Report have a unique advantage in that, they are off shore and beyond the grips of the high and might in Nigeria, making it easy for whistle blowers to trust them that their identity will not be revealed.

All these big men do not go hide in the closet to make these calls, they believe they are untouchable and can even make such calls in the present of a secretary, houseboy, driver, etc who then tells someone that tells someone...getting the call detail report is a piece of cake, get one techy savvy guy working in any of these tech companies who even hates these people got or pay someone to do it or even clone their SIM card and you will get everything you need.

I can just imagine what will happen to the owner of Sahara Report if he mistakenly visits Nigeria without disguise, there will be a unanimous lynching by the high and might.

EducationRe: Walden University Is On My Neck. by linearity: 1:37am On Feb 10, 2016
Legally, since you enrolled in the course and did not officially dropped within the time allowed to drop, you owe the school fees for that semester. It does not matter if you attend classes or not and does not matter if you discussed with the my adviser.

On the online portal where you enrolled for those classes, there should be a place to drop the classes as well and every school will give you a window within which you can drop any class.

I will advise you to pay up, but again; this is Nigeria, it is difficult to collect debts from someone you know not to talk of someone far off...so switching SIM cards will buy you peace of mind...but if you become big tomorrow or want to run for public office, your opponent might dig it up, but again in Nigeria all that does not matter...the only real damage you have done is that, you have spoiled it for other Nigerians, who will come after you, they will now look at them as deadbeats and be more strict with them.

They have nothing to prove,it's a dead case,There are special schools fully equiped to teach deaf or dumb student,we can not hide the true because she is beautiful.Her parent should know better she can never cope in normal school though it's possible for her to pass exams and so on because of her ability to collect and copy notes but she can never understand what the lecturers are saying or write dictations which is very important
It might not be a dead case as you surmised. She does not and did not asked for an special equipment or accommodation on account of her condition. She become deaf and dumb at the age of 6; despite those odds, she proceeded to learn English Language, completed Primary school in a regular school, then proceeded to a regular secondary school, completed her secondary, then wrote WAEC with no special aid or accommodation and got 7 credits and 1 distinction; she proceeded to write JAMB with no special aid or accommodation and scored 205, and got admission into RUST to study Educational Foundation, she is in good standing academically in RUST until in second semester, the VC single handedly deregistered her from school, citing her deafness as the reason because the medical personal at RUST could not communicate with her verbally.

She understands her lecturers, she lip-reads and have coped with secondary school education and came out with flying colors. Anyone who was able to cope with secondary school and came out fine, will repeat same in any University as long as they apply the same principles. From a personal perspective; I found primary school, especially primary one, the toughness; because I had to learn lots of basics and knew next to nothing about alternate source of information and my brain was less developed. At the University, I barely attend classes, unless there is a quiz or something and even missed lots of surprise quizzes (I hate those lecturers), but I got a competitive scholarship, got a nice GPA throughout, and was among the top graduating students with a nice grade.

Special schools are for people with special needs, from the legal definition of special needs, she does not qualify.

PoliticsRe: Why We Ignored Card Reader Reports In Election Cases – S’court by linearity: 9:26pm On Feb 06, 2016
vedaxcool:
So the card reader cannot be used side by side with voters register which can easily be tempered with strange names like bill Clinton voting in Nigeria?

These people enjoy on dwelling on technicalities rather than substance. They have condemned many to premature deaths by rejecting a fundamental blockage to violence. Rather than work for progress they have have become stumbling blocks. The same judges will gleefully tell you court has powers to make the law through interpretation but it seems when it comes to law benefiting the general public they hide their elitist heads in laws that are not progressive.
I don't think that is what the judgement said, in summary, it is saying that; the card reader can be used side by side with the voters' register; but if there is a dispute or discrepancy, the voters' register supersedes.

In essence, I cannot be denied the right to cast my vote, if the card reader invalidates me, but my name is on the voters' register; which makes a lot of sense.

Even in the US, electronic machines are not used to validate voters on Election Day....when you go to your district to vote, your name will be manually lookup on the district hard copy printed voters' register and you will be asked to sign against your name on that printout before a voter's ballot will be giving to you, which you will tender at the entrance of the voting booth before been allowed to vote.

'Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are' goes the popular adage, plus it's twin that goes...'Birds of the same feathers flunk together'.

My point? If your sister has been with this guy for 5 years to the extend of forcing marriage on him, when he is obviously not ready says a lot about your sister.

Plus, you have layed out a lot negatives about this guy, you need not say anything about your sister as anyone can write a book about her characters.

Sometimes people don't learn from other people's mistakes, despite the best efforts and warnings of caring friends and families; experience is still the best teacher, even if those experiences are painful, bitter or irreversible.

You might not want to hear this, but the truth is; they truly deserve each other, mind your own business and leave them alone.

I donbelieve it!

They are the same, he is just trying to dance around the same words or confused!

Ghanaian as used in 'Ghanaian Actor' is an adjective, that describes or modified the noun Actor.

Ghanaian as used here, is an adjective that means: "of Ghana or relating to Ghana or its inhabitants"

If Majid is "of Ghana or relating to Ghana" and, if he is also an Actor; therefore he is a 'Ghanaian Actor' period! Another way of saying it is; he is an Actor from Ghana.

A Ghanaian Actor that only acts Ghanaian movies, is called 'A traditional or native Ghanaian Actor' or a 'Traditional or Native Actor from Ghana'.

That lady said a whole lot of bad stuffs including nollywood having a single story line, actors portraying a single character in various movies and all. It was kinda true buh the solution she suggested was like we should throw away our history by changing the name so to change the way the industry is viewed.. That's what I will never support cos a whole lot of people got us where we are and people like tunde kelani and the afolayans where among this people that start the industry and still in the quest for correcting any negative impression it once had and will never want that kind of solution. Not changing the fact that nollywood paved the way for most of this young generations even across Africa
But but, why she dey drink penadol for what she thinks is another man's headache?

She is not part of Nollywood, if anything she should be advising Ghanian movie industry instead i.e. If she is in the capacity to do that.

PhonesRe: Why You Should Not Register MTN With Your BVN Details by linearity: 6:01am On Feb 01, 2016
So, what negative impact do you think will accrue to you in someone uses your BVN? Even if you assume, the worst case scenario, I think you are over thinking the significance of the BVN.

It is merely an identification number. No body will be able to access your bank account or ATM card or whatever with your BVN number and you are not going to be asked to supply your BVN when you want to reset you password, PIN, etc.

The worst that could happen is identity theft and one form of it, is someone approaching a bank for a loan and presenting him/herself as you with you BVN number and particulars, he/she must also have a picture ID with your photo on it and must have recently completed a plastic surgery and face-lift, so he/she can look exactly like you so his/her facials can match the presented picture ID and your biodata in your BIO...the chances of this happening is close to nil.

The other possible area of BVN identity theft, is e.g. politicians and contractors that have multiple accounts and they do not want those accounts to be traced to them, can (if possible) use stolen BVN and identity to stash some of their loots. I do not see any harm in this for you, you can even turn it to a win...if someone stash loots under my name, and I get to know, o boy! maga don pay be that, we must share the loot together, else I go blow the lid wide open; that is why people in this category will not just use any random BVN to stash their extra money, they will connive with trusted individuals who are close to them to do this.

It is even funny that, some of these people who tightly guard their BVN and will not disclose it under any circumstance even to friends, will willing give their bank account number to anyone, even strangers to transfer money into their account to complete one transaction or another. I think, there is more risk in giving your bank account number to a stranger compare to giving your BVN.

freakcin:
The yellow lights are from sodium bulbs. They are skin friendly and do not produce ultraviolet rays which could lead to a lot of health hazards.

The white light on the other hand is gotten from mercury bulbs which comes with a lot of UV hazards. Eliminating these hazards increases the cost of production. Which makes it more expensive to install.

Personally I'd rather go with yellow light, sodium bulbs with no potential skin cancer, long term effect than the mercury bulbs.
This is loads of none sense; the yellowish or whiteness of light is not driven by the material that it is made of. The color of light bulbs depends on their temperature and they are rated from about 2700k to 4100k, the lower the Kelvin(k) rating, the yellowish the output light becomes, and white lights have higher Kelvin rating, this can also be measured by the wavelength.

The UV effective of mercury bulbs is an exaggeration. The UV effect is only a concern during manufacturing, transportation or handling and have zero effect when installed because, the recommended distant from the light source to blunt all UV effects is 11 inches and in their field applications as in the pictures above, those light sources are about 120 to 180 inches away.

Low Sodium light sources that emits those monochrome lights which lacks color rendition contain sodium metal, which is a dangerous substance just like Mercury and both substance require special handling and disposal, so the same level of cost in incurred in safe guiding against these two harmful hazards.

Agree, Mercury lights are more expensive to produce, but that seemly advantage that the sodium light holds is blunted, because you need much more quantities of sodium lights sources compare to Mercury light source to achieve some type of par illuminosity, even at that; the multiple quantities of sodium lights will render poor monochrome light, which is poor for security compare to the few Mercury lights.
