bros, you're so wrong, htc doesn't always have the android updates faster than some phones... when i was flexing my lollypop 5.1.1 on my nexus 5, am sure you were on kitkat 4.4.4 and now that am playing around with android m developer preview you're probably still not on lollypop 5.1.1... Also, the picture you captioned nexus 6 is not nexus 6 but nexus 5. Thank you
Politics / Nigcomsat Workers Petition FG Over Privatisation, Job Losses by mavizzi: 10:27am On May 08, 2015
Workers of the Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited have petitioned the Minister of Communications Technology, Mrs. Omobola Johnson, over the proposed sale of the company and alleged impending sacking of 150 members of staff of the organisation.

In a petition dated May 5, 2015, the workers, under the aegis of the National Union of Postal and Telecommunications Employees, said the manner the proposed sale of the satellite company was being hurried at the end of the present administration left much to be desired.

The workers contended that the viability of NigComSat would not have been an issue if the Federal Government had directed government establishments to patronise it rather than continue to rely on foreign vendors of satellite bandwidth services.

In the petition, signed by General Secretary, Mr. Chris Onakpo, the union also wondered why the proposed sale of the company would start with a plan to sack 150 workers without even the evaluation of the value of the entity.

Onakpo wrote in the petition to the minister, “Consequent upon your press release earlier in the year on the planned privatisation of NigComSat, it has become imperative as a representative of NigComSat to write you stating unequivocally our position on the subject matter. As a union, we wish to state that workers of NigComSat are vehemently resisting the planned privatisation due to the following reasons:

“NigComSat is a satellite communications company that provides satellite bandwidth in this country. We believe that if your ministry had compelled government agencies to subscribe to NigComSat for their satellite bandwidth needs, the issue of viability of this company will not be called to question.

“If we may ask: What is the ministry’s bandwidth policy? Government agencies like the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Nigerian Television Authority, etc. that use huge bandwidth do not subscribe to NigComSat but other foreign service providers, which come with huge costs compared to the cheap bandwidth provision by NigComSat.

“We believe that you are aware of the role NigComSat is playing as regards the pilot scheme of the CBN’s cashless policy. At the end of this scheme, it is expected that the CBN will need at least four KU transponders to drive this process, which is a conservative rate of $800,000 per transponder annually. This alone will generate $2.4m per annum for NigComSat.”

He continued, “You are aware of the huge capital and human resources that have been deployed in this project. Our members and brilliant military personnel have been trained on this project. Privatising NigComSat will cause the military to subscribe to privately owned satellite bandwidth to drive the process.

“In this era of terrorism and security challenges, does the Federal Government believe that the most secured satellite bandwidth for this laudable project should be privately driven? How long will sensitive government information and data be processed through privately owned telecommunication companies?

“As a union and a responsive stakeholder in the communication sector, we believe that the project should be considered sensitive for the government to discontinue the planned privatisation of NigComSat.

“We wish to ask why Galaxy Backbone, a government owned agency, is not subscribing their satellite bandwidth requirements from NigComSat, a fellow government owned agency, before subscribing elsewhere? Instead, they prefer to subscribe to SES, a foreign satellite bandwidth company even when it is clear that it is cheaper with NigComSat, which has the capacity to deliver.”

The workers urged the government to adopt a conscious satellite bandwidth policy that would enable NigComSat to provide the satellite needs of government agencies before they could look elsewhere.

They also asked the government to fund the satellite company properly to be able to realise its potential.

The petition added, “We are also aware of the ongoing workers’ review, rationalisation and downsizing in NigComSat, which is to exit about 150 workers. As a union, we are at a loss as to why the planned privatisation should start with rationalisation of workers. This is a wrong process and we shall vehemently resist the rationalisation of our members in NigComSat all in the name of privatisation.”

Science/Technology / Re: Nigeria To Launch First Locally Made Satellite Into Space By 2018 - Minister by mavizzi: 11:50am On Dec 02, 2014
Dlee1:
This news is so amusing. We purchased satellite from Chinese and the satellite disappeared on the orbit. The satellite was replaced (NigComsat1R) which is not functional and now our government is telling us that they are going to lunch a satellite in the orbit whereby they cannot manage the one we purchased from abroad... haba this is so amusing.

With due respect, you don't have a clue to what you're taking about... We have almost zero gravity in space, so how possible that a big object like satellite will just disappear... There was a problem with the solar array panels of the east and west panels... As a result the satellite had to be de-orbited, that is moved to space junk yard... Bcoz there was comprehensive insurance in place, Nigcomsat1R was built without the Nigerian govt. paying a dime... I know this bcoz I work there, and its very annoying when people post what they're clueless about...

Nigerians and their sympathy tales... Why are we always looking at issues in 1 dimension... Will google jst wake up one day n shut someone down... Don't forget google is not a Nigerian company, neither do they operate the way we operate... For your info, LIB is gonna pay 100k for each of those stories she lifted if found guilty... So Nigerians pls enough with the tales by moon light n look at issues constructively... Also there's absolutely nothing wrong in buying up a domain name in anticipation that a big company or individual would come to you to buy it off you...

mbhs139:

so, downloading files from the internet is an unethical practice, and you are comparing that with giving people the question to a job aptitude test?

By the way, what has downloading files from the internet got to do with what we are talking about here? Perhaps you mean downloading files to write research or journals, because that's what I do for a living, I'm a research analyst. And for your information, I pay for all my journals and I don't plagiarized, hopefully you know what that means. I'm not talking about the dictionary meaning o.

And how did you know that I cheated in my final exams? You should be, let's say in Primary 2 or 3, depending on your age, when I wrote my final exams, so how did you know?

Look, whether you like it or not, it was ethically wrong for you to be telling people an aptitude test question, totally wrong. It shows how lazy you and those that are praising you are, take or leave it.
Mr man, WTF are u talking? u're talking total rubbish, i was probably not born when u wrote ur final year exam OLD MAN. u think u know vocabulary and u're still a research analyst, u should be a professor by now or maybe a vc., dont u think so?

enatasha: So disappointed in the firm that handled the recruitment test. @ FUTA Minna, 8am wrote theirs by 2pm. While 12-3pm would write theirs today 24th february because the firm stopped the exams by 7.30pm. They drove us out of the computer centre telling us that they don't have a place for us to spend the night & cannot guarantee our security @ the permanent site! They insisted on useless biometric after the test & wasted peoples time. Also told us to go & book for hotels! That firm should be sued by job applicants. It was HELL @ Minna. Sleeping in one of the classrooms.
sorry dear, i was scheduled for 8am and eventually wrote around 2pm, so i feel ur pain
