U mean how did the strawberry do? They germinated but later died because I was not there to take care of them. Only the seedlings survived. I still have spare strawberry seeds I intend planting later

sorry about that

Education / Re: JAMB 2016 Should Not Be Scrapped Or Remarked - See Why! by mickey45: 10:17am On Mar 12, 2016
CaptainECole:
Now I see how gullible you are, the fact that you scored 243 even in the midst of "mass failure" that was clearly induced artificially by the body called JAMB,doesn't make every other Tom Dick and Harry that sat for the exams dull.


After reading the entire thrash you wrote,I only giggled in my soliloquy . We all know that the CBT exams this year was clearly filled with faults,unpreparedness of JAMB,system failure, server failure and unjust markings by JAMB,so now the poor students are to pay for it. There are many students who read more than you.. I personally I can say that I read more than you! Yes I did! ... Many others did! ... we burned the midnight candle, we forfeited our leisure time to our reading .. and many of us received unjust marks from JAMB,this itself is Injustice of the highest degree... I managed to score 225
. which I know is not my real score,but nonetheless, I thank God I crossed the cutoff mark and am ready for post ume.. but unfortunately, many others are not as lucky as me,many intelligent people I know were being presented with outrageously low marks by JAMB.. I'll give you an instance, my good friend and I wrote a mock JAMB exam prior to our JAMB.. and I filled in as an engineering student, and he as a medical student,and after the exam,the results were out,and he (my friend) emerged the best out of hundreds that wrote the exam.. I also emerged the best out of those who wrote mathematics .. only for him (my friend) to write this jamb and they said he scored 208 WTF!!!! how do you explain that? All due to JAMB's incompetence! please stop this your attention seeking and make more research before coming out to say nonsense (apologies) .. JAMB must remark our exams! This is not fair!


I'm sad to tell you this but it's the truth, the country as it currently is has no plans for anybody, the ogas at the top are still scrambling for whatever crumbs of the cake still remains for grabs.
Even if you write the exam ehn, you'd probably get admitted and then what? spend 4/5+x years studying a counrse your mates spend less time studying abroad and still not know as much as they do.

Allwility:
Nigeria has uranium deposits that's why he's attending the summit. I'm sure the US don't want such deposits falling into the hands of the bad guys now that we are looking for dollars right, left and centre.

Nigeria's uranium is already being mined by Chinese through using our Majors and Generals.
go scout out konduga in Borno state.

kay29000:



No, but we have Uranium deposits...And it is good to learn and be aware of its dangers

Nigeria has a fully fledged Agency for such duties, the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NNRA) and they're quite well staffed. They've been doing a good job so far monitoring compliance in the use of radioactive materials in the O n G industry.

your concern is however not invalid as the article below shows

Politics / Re: The New International Passport And Price by mickey45: 6:35pm On Feb 23, 2016
International passport is almost like Dollar supply,
The official price for 32pages is 18k but the "parallel market price ranges from 25-28k.
While for 64pages, official price is 25k while the "black market" price is anything >/=32k

I'd advise you go for it though, unless your intent for it isn't for traveling.
And you'd better get it fast before the agents dollar-ise the thing

LOL very soon they might ask of the Presidential report be that, Immigration should be merged with NIMC and National Population Census and purged of all corrupt elements

This passport blackmarket issue is why the personnel in those agencies (especially immigrations ) will not allow any of such plans to see the light of day.
The New NIMC cards shd actually have served the same purpose as a passport, maybe with some small modifications or certification from immigrations but nor be for Naija.

Very clear and concise submissions. Governance is serious business and only the mentally alert and intelligent should be allowed to go near such an exalted office.

My guy, the President can NEVER be exonerated of any wrong doing as long as thus budget issue is concerned; there's NO way anyone can paint the picture.

My guy, at least the summaries would have carried the total figures for each item.

Didn't he find it weird that so much for budgeted for the Presidency alone? Didn't he find it usual that the Agriculture ministry has less allocations than that of Information? Haba.

It's either PMB is gravely complicit in this fraud OR he never even read a line from the budget before appending his signature and subsequently presenting it to the National Assembly.


"For every action there's always an equal and opposite reaction" I thought it only worked with physics.
For every blunder, they'll always noisily come up with one harebrained excuse or the other.

If it was GEJ, they'd drum or ears deaf with "he's a drunkard" .
I wonder what we'll ascribe to PmB.
Just let them "kontinu!"
At least falling oil price isn't a factor we can blame here.

Ondo probably has a drum of oil.. help us name the IOCs operating in ondo and their office address. Tnx.

As for Lagos, its a phamtom oil existing only in the imagination of dreamers.. feeling is believing.

Pls tell Jadesinmi or LADOL or whatever to save themselves the stress of building a dry dock because we go frustrate the hell out of it.

Agbami is one large field operated by chevron in the Igbokoda/Ilaje area of Ondo State and its a large one at that.

Yet its not the only one as I know mobil also operates in the area.
So ........

While I see sense if LADOL's yard had been in the Niger Delta.
But people don't start such ventures without serious pre-feasibility analysis.
So who blames a businessman for siting his business where he desires and is assured of better returns?

Now that you say it I remember the court case in the papers. I glad you gave me such an amazing background information, I hope we can get this one right.

So do I brother, We only need Saudi to dare it's tie with the US ( a relationship that has been hurting its economics lately and which the incoming monarch doesn't seem to favour either, as it was predicated on the US buying OPEC oil which it no longer does) and join Russia in trading oil as well as holding it's reserves in the Yuan and oil shd bounce back some serious bit.
Our manufacturing capability will definitely go up some notch.

I stay off campus @ Ilara-Mokin. Probably because its a small 'village' and has a radio station and one of the best golf courses in West Africa, a private university, THE LIGHT HERE IS BETTER. Right now, there is electricity. Anytime they wll bring it, it'd be long. Sometimes, 18 hours out of 24hrs. I have vowed not to move to Akure till I leave FUTA.

Now the multiplier effect of this company will mean more steel consumption and metallurgy for Nigeria, more foundries and most importantly, a practical approach to education and research.

I'm so psyched for this to start.

It'll surely improve our manufacturing base, LADOl is strategically placed, they may even start handling such projects like NiGERDOCK does for clients in neighboring countries like Ghana's just growing petroleum industry

YES!! Freaking awesome news. If this is PMB's handiwork I'm more than impressed.

Congrats to Ambode, Laos state, and Nigeria as a whole. We will get there.

This project has been in the works long before now,

I think MOU was signed since 2013.

It is actually one of the fruits from Maduekwe's local- Content- Policy (which is why I pray Buhari will appoint a fair-minded, indigenous, son-of the soil, petroleum industry insider like Allison in that post)
Total awarded it's Latest and Largest FPSO (EGINA) to Samsung heavy Industries.
But Samsung was mandated by the Local content bill to partner with an indigenous company to undertake not less than 10% of the jobs in the country.
LADOL won the technical partner contract (of course with Tinubu's contacts and perhaps GEJ thinking Tinubu will give him softer landing come 2015)

Perhaps as lagos was surely lost vote-wise, GEJ issued a counter directive, close to his departure, mandating Total and Samsung to move the construction yard down to Bayelsa citing its 'closerness' to the site and deeper water levels. Prompting LADOL to go to court then.
This news proves the issue has been resolved.

It will be disappointing if they fail to fulfill the backward integration vision the country has for them starting from local sourcing of consumables etc.

They (samsung Heavy ) and NLNG have been jointly moving Nigerians to Korea for training on Welding, fabrication and shipbuilding.
Perhaps they'll now employ them into full term work.
That is the beauty of Civilian Govt.

AustineE1:
With the value of Naira at its lowest level ever and depreciating uncontrollably and our government seems very incapable to stop the trend,with neophytes running the financial sector of our dear nation. $400 million indeed will mean so much money.
So happy for the Samsung investment,which is rear in this government,atleast more jobs for Nigerian youths.

I was telling someone the same thing,
Why do we have a need for NDDC?
When it only leads to more corruption, and more workers on government payroll
Why not just share the money budgeted for the Nddc for projects , to the Niger delta states?

And give the money to your State Governors? What have they done with the 13% derivation fund so far? Corruption or not, each agency will play its part (however small) in improving the people's livelihood.

You add up those multi-lateral trickles and you'd get a pool.
But you waiting for the state governors to come do these intervention projects will surely take a longer while.

mr man , you don't need to blame the bank for this, you should have known that you are are using a naira denominate card to pay for dollar transaction, and the rule ,is whenever you are receiving payment to the card , they pay you at official rate, and they are free to charge you any amount when you are making payment, you should have opted for dollar card, ie opening a dom acct. and applying for visa card to be linked to it, it will save you all this stress, that was exactly what i did.

While I trust the Russians to still be able to put the structure back in place efforts should be made to get indigenous but experienced Project managers to analyze it's profitability.
I somehow think Dangote and others would've bought it up since if the margin was that encouraging.

Otherwise, we should just obey Lord keynes and focus on areas where we have real competitive advantage, economic success is first a matter of what you should do than what you'll like to do.
New Zealand has a well developed dairy system, they supply more than half of Asia's beef and dairy, solid minerals is to Australia what Oil is to us and they have well developed structures for it.
it's time we grow our own engine, with our own template and stop all this copying or at least copy and adapt to local conditions like the Chinese did.

Irrespective of what we may all think, the market always speaks, and you had better listen to it than pay for your disobedience.
We're in a financial mire presently, the current budget despite it's (resource wasting appropriations) is almost entirely to be debt financed. we need every revenue generating avenue we can and serious exportation would have saved us like it did China, India et. al but these export avenues have been cornered by our "honourable men" as their territories.
a popular "Oga at the top" runs cassava exportation and others, another set of "Ogas at the top" currently export solid minerals with tacit supports and Nigeria is left to fend for herself. If we want this country built, all we need is everyone's unreserved patriotism.

I've decided to do the best I can in my own little corner, many thanks to cooljade and others who are fighting tooth and nail for this, tributes to all the philantropists especially in the jobs/vacancies sections.
it's the least people can do to make the officials notice the discontents in Nigerians' hearts.

Op, your patriotism has paid off , the minister of solid minerals spoke on it today,so i believe your letter was acknowledged

I can point you to myriads of "we will revive Ajaokuta complex" comments from 1999 till date.... that place remains as it is...
Nigerian Society of Engineers and Nigeria Metallurgical Society have presented presented plenty Ajaokuta related papers before now.
I expect some shakara from this people but there's dreams, then there's facts and we know which judgements should be made with.
Ask any current Metallurgical engineer who knows what the current metal exchange market speak and you'll know that part of the economy isn't inviting for now.
But white elephant or not, I like the fact that youths are now gradually demanding answers from their leaders and that's a good place to start.
we'll never know all that went down with Ajaokuta, but at least more people are now aware of its plight.

Anyone can as well revive talks about Nigeria's Aluminium refining plant in Akwa-ibom. it's also suffering the same fate currently, except it has once worked for a while before our "Nigerian Factor" set in, Ditto for "Olua Glass company" the only Glass company in W. Africa, a company which is now moribund but whose then directors and principal officers are rumored to majorly be millionaires in their own rights currently.
