OrlandoOwoh: OP is a lier, the first exploration to discover oil wasn't in Owerri, not even in Oloibiri. It took place in today's Ondo State before the outbreak of the First World War by a German company. The loss of the Germany in the war made it stop its operation.

That town is Okitipupa

New plate number.
New international passport (read about this in d papers, not sure if it has started)

It worked. I first subscribed to the 1500 naira BB unlimited plan. It was not working on my modem. I later saw it here that if u load 100 naira and subscribe to the daily 100 plan it will combine the data and start working; which I did and Bingo!

funkyrash: subscribe to the daily plan with this *141*712*11# and use it till d 10MB has gone afta dat u can keep using it....... Enjoy!!!

Wow! Thanks!!!!!!!!

chidyhels: airtel normal bis unlimited. it works on PC too

I subscribed to use it on my modem yesterday, its not working. I did different manipulations I could but its still not working. I tried using APN, 'internet.ng.zain.com' & also 'internet.ng.airtel.com', while using 'internet' as the user name & password, but all to no avail. My 1500 dey pain me oh.

slimyem: Mr folu, You are an unserious guy/ agent.
I had someone call two days ago,you directed her to someone else.
The person you directed us to said to come for inspection by 5 p.m
By 5p.m ,he was called. The same person said it was too late that we should call back the next morning which was yesterday morning, we called and he said the place was already taken.
We went on to call as a new customer and the same place was described to be available.
...and here you are again saying its still available. What are you up to? Are you sure you are not a scammer?
If you are not serious,please close this damned thread and stop wasting people's precious time.
Its pissing!!!

I just wanted to check him out wt tht question. I also called him yesterday & he informed me tht the place was no longer available (he sounded sincere though).

Mr Folu ur answer to my question about parking space (which is actually a test) is a little disappointing.

You told me tht yest u'll come and state it here tht it has been taken.

That was d answer I expected! "tht d place has been taken".

Mr Folu recall I also asked u if any other one is available at tht range & u replied wt a categorical 'NO', but tht u'll keep in touch if something comes up.

If a new one comes up, u re supposed to state it here tht the earlier one has been taken, u then tell us "tht a new one is now available wt so and so features".

Is it still available?

mr folu: Running water and all floor are well tiled are also the advantages of this two bed flat available for rent in Aguda Surulere Lagos.
Call 08124461809 for physical inspection.

Is there parking space? Does any of the rooms hv wardrobe?

Benny25: @OP, wonder how u came about of all places Benin, there are basically no tourist attraction there to even spice up the honeymoon. I just came back from Obudu cattle ranch where I had always told myself I was going to have my honeymoon if its going to be in dis country. Trust me the place was worth every penny, mind u journey by road was quite far. From the foot of the hill in area called Utanga to the top of the hill is 11km by road which is snakelike when viewed from above if u go up by cable car. The top is so cold we had to buy winter jacket as recommended by our guide who took us to interesting places such as the holy mountain, waterfront, peak of the mountain which houses the presidential logde, Becheve nature reserve where we passed through canopy walkway. The experience there was awesome getting so close to d clouds, and in dat place nature can never be more appreciated. We also visited the Agbokun waterfall in Ikom town before capping the visits to Tinapa in Calabar. I ll recommend the ranch as a sweet place to have ur honeymoon and also vacation

Nice one. Gist us more pls. Did u actually drive? Are u suggesting tht the driving will be stressful & kill the fun?

Also, pls do tell us about cost. Just an estimate anyways: Lodging, visiting all those interesting places u mentioned, munching, tranportation, guided tours, etc

Tnx.

KnightsTemplar: You need to start first by checking your BIOS setting. Shut down your system, leave it for a while. Start the system again, press F2 to access your BIOS setting, check if your date and time is correct, if it's not then your CMOS ba3 needs replacement, other wise you still need to probe for some more settings from the OS

Thank u! This was very helpful.

PLS HELP!

The time of my laptop system is misbehaving. Its running late! I hv corrected it several times but the issue persists. I hv ensured tht its set to West Africa +1GMT time. I hv disabled its synchronisation to internet time. All tht didn't resolve the issue. Infact it has almost cost me critical appointments.

After a while I got tired of correcting it every time I use it and just left it. Now the date on it is 25th Dec

I am suspecting d clock works only when the system is on. This is quite strange because the battery is good. Except maybe the timer uses another battery, although I'm not sure about tht.

So pls I need advise! The system is HP pavilion DV6. I bought it in 2010.

infonubia: Since it has been established that we do have labor laws, the issue herein lies in the implementation and review of such laws to ensure that workers aren't maltreated like Alice and several others whose cases have gone unnoticed.

All workers should feel safe - both physically and emotionally - in their work environment.

I'm not sure if there is, but we need a regulatory board that monitors labor activities. Some kind of occupational safety administration where workers can lodge complaints of unfair practices at work. The board should also be empowered to enforce our labor laws.

The president shouldn't have to intervene like he did in the case of Mrs. Ossai because like someone rightly said, if the president keeps intervening in every one of such cases, then he may never have time for anything else.

[quote author=zimzoom]Is it not a shame that it took the president of the most populous lack country in the world of over 160 million people to intervene to get to the root a matter ordinarily a citizens arrest not to talk of law enforcement agencies existing to protect its citizens.

where are our senators and house of rep members who cant wake up to pass laws to protect the employer?

(I'm assuming u meant employees)

The National Assembly has passed the Occupational Safety & Health Bill.

It has been awaiting presidential assent for ages. I don't just understand why President Jonathan is delaying assent to this important bill.

http://www.punchng.com/news/breach-labour-safety-law-go-to-prison-senate/

(Punch of 28th Sept 2012 on the passage of Occupational safety & health bill)

http://www.punchng.com/news/reps-move-to-override-jonathans-veto-on-bills-2/

(Punch report of November 8, 2013 stating that there are 36 bills that President Jonathan neither assented nor 'withold his assent' in line wt the constitution).

Now as someone rightly put it, the President will tire himself out if he goes about ordering investigation into cases tht a working system automatically is supposed to take care of.

The country urgently needs this Occupational safety & health law to protect workers. Lots of workers re having their hands chopped off in all these Chinese & Lebanese companies without proper compensation. Others are getting killed & serious cover ups happen thereafter.

DAY11.:
Gimme a call

This forum is to share knowledge, whts the coding for? Instead of u to put the answer here and enlighten us, u re coding?

“To Graça Machel and the Mandela family; to President (Jacob) Zuma and members of the government; to heads of state and government, past and present; distinguished guests – it is a singular honor to be with you today, to celebrate a life unlike any other.

To the people of South Africa – people of every race and walk of life – the world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandelawith us. His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph. Your dignity and hope found expression in his life, and your freedom, your democracy is his cherished legacy.

It is hard to eulogize any man – to capture in words not just the facts and the dates that make a life, but the essential truth of a person – their private joys and sorrows; the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone’s soul. How much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation toward justice, and in the process moved billions around the world.

Born during World War I, far from the corridors of power, a boy raised herding cattle and tutored by elders of his Thembu tribe – Madiba would emerge as the last great liberator of the 20th century. Like Gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement – a movement that at its start held little prospect of success. Like King, he would give potent voice to the claims of the oppressed, and the moral necessity of racial justice. He would endure a brutal imprisonment that began in the time of Kennedy and Khrushchev, and reached the final days of the Cold War. Emerging from prison, without force of arms, he would – like Lincoln – hold his country together when it threatened to break apart. Like America’s founding fathers, he would erect a constitutional order to preserve freedom for future generations – a commitment to democracy and rule of law ratified not only by his election, but by his willingness to step down from power.

Given the sweep of his life, and the adoration that he so rightly earned, it is tempting then to remember Nelson Mandela as an icon, smiling and serene, detached from the tawdry affairs of lesser men. But Madiba himself strongly resisted such a lifeless portrait. Instead, he insisted on sharing with us his doubts and fears; his miscalculations along with his victories. “I’m not a saint,” he said, “unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”

It was precisely because he could admit to imperfection – because he could be so full of good humor, even mischief, despite the heavy burdens he carried – that we loved him so. He was not a bust made of marble; he was a man of flesh and blood – a son and husband, a father and a friend. That is why we learned so much from him; that is why we can learn from him still. For nothing he achieved was inevitable. In the arc of his life, we see a man who earned his place in history through struggle and shrewdness; persistence and faith. He tells us what’s possible not just in the pages of dusty history books, but in our own lives as well.

Mandela showed us the power of action; of taking risks on behalf of our ideals. Perhaps Madiba was right that he inherited, “a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness” from his father. Certainly he shared with millions of black and colored South Africans the anger born of, “a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments…a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people.”

But like other early giants of the ANC – the Sisulus and Tambos – Madiba disciplined his anger; and channeled his desire to fight into organization, and platforms, and strategies for action, so men and women could stand-up for their dignity. Moreover, he accepted the consequences of his actions, knowing that standing up to powerful interests and injustice carries a price. “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination,” he said at his 1964 trial. “I’ve cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Mandela taught us the power of action, but also ideas; the importance of reason and arguments; the need to study not only those you agree with, but those who you don’t. He understood that ideas cannot be contained by prison walls, or extinguished by a sniper’s bullet. He turned his trial into an indictment of apartheid because of his eloquence and passion, but also his training as an advocate. He used decades in prison to sharpen his arguments, but also to spread his thirst for knowledge to others in the movement. And he learned the language and customs of his oppressor so that one day he might better convey to them how their own freedom depended upon his.

Mandela demonstrated that action and ideas are not enough; no matter how right, they must be chiseled into laws and institutions. He was practical, testing his beliefs against the hard surface of circumstance and history. On core principles he was unyielding, which is why he could rebuff offers of conditional release, reminding the Apartheid regime that, “prisoners cannot enter into contracts.” But as he showed in painstaking negotiations to transfer power and draft new laws, he was not afraid to compromise for the sake of a larger goal. And because he was not only a leader of a movement, but a skillful politician, the Constitution that emerged was worthy of this multiracial democracy; true to his vision of laws that protect minority as well as majority rights, and the precious freedoms of every South African.

Finally, Mandela understood the ties that bind the human spirit. There is a word in South Africa- Ubuntu – that describes his greatest gift: his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that can be invisible to the eye; that there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us. We can never know how much of this was innate in him, or how much of was shaped and burnished in a dark, solitary cell. But we remember the gestures, large and small – introducing his jailors as honored guests at his inauguration; taking the pitch in a Springbok uniform; turning his family’s heartbreak into a call to confront HIV/AIDS – that revealed the depth of his empathy and understanding. He not only embodied Ubuntu; he taught millions to find that truth within themselves. It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailor as well; to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you; to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cruel past, but a means of confronting it with inclusion, generosity and truth. He changed laws, but also hearts.

For the people of South Africa, for those he inspired around the globe – Madiba’s passing is rightly a time of mourning, and a time to celebrate his heroic life. But I believe it should also prompt in each of us a time for self-reflection. With honesty, regardless of our station or circumstance, we must ask: how well have I applied his lessons in my own life?

It is a question I ask myself – as a man and as a President. We know that like South Africa, the United States had to overcome centuries of racial subjugation. As was true here, it took the sacrifice of countless people – known and unknown – to see the dawn of a new day. Michelle and I are the beneficiaries of that struggle. But in America and South Africa, and countries around the globe, we cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not done. The struggles that follow the victory of formal equality and universal franchise may not be as filled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important. For around the world today, we still see children suffering from hunger, and disease; run-down schools, and few prospects for the future. Around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs; and are still persecuted for what they look like, or how they worship, or who they love.

We, too, must act on behalf of justice. We, too, must act on behalf of peace. There are too many of us who happily embrace Madiba’s legacy of racial reconciliation, but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality. There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people. And there are too many of us who stand on the sidelines, comfortable in complacency or cynicism when our voices must be heard.

The questions we face today – how to promote equality and justice; to uphold freedom and human rights; to end conflict and sectarian war – do not have easy answers. But there were no easy answers in front of that child in Qunu. Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. South Africa shows us that is true. South Africa shows us we can change. We can choose to live in a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. We can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity.

We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. But let me say to the young people of Africa, and young people around the world – you can make his life’s work your own. Over thirty years ago, while still a student, I learned of Mandela and the struggles in this land. It stirred something in me. It woke me up to my responsibilities – to others, and to myself – and set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today. And while I will always fall short of Madiba’s example, he makes me want to be better. He speaks to what is best inside us. After this great liberator is laid to rest; when we have returned to our cities and villages, and rejoined our daily routines, let us search then for his strength – for his largeness of spirit – somewhere inside ourselves. And when the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, or our best laid plans seem beyond our reach – think of Madiba, and the words that brought him comfort within the four walls of a cell:

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

What a great soul it was. We will miss him deeply. May God bless the memory of Nelson Mandela. May God bless the people of South Africa.”

Pls when are we goin to start having quality leaders such as Mandela & Obama lead Nigeria? I feel so sad tht despite our potentials we are still groping in the dark as to getting the right leadership. The followers in Nigeria sef are equally as terrible as the leadership.
Are we ever going to get it right in this country?

We must all put aside ethnic & religious sentiments if we ever hope to hv a leader tht will revolutionise governance & deliver the actual dividends of democracy & not propanganda.

http://www.punchng.com/news/deji-of-akure-dies-at-63/

The Deji of Akure of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, the monarch that presides over Akureland, the Ondo State capital is dead.

Details of his passage was sketchy as of press time but our correspondent learnt on Sunday that the monarch died around 4am as a result of an unknown complication.

The 63-year-old first class paramount ruler ascended the throne about three years ago after his predecessor was deposed as a result of a street fight with one of the former monarch’s wives.

A highly competent source confirmed the death but said such announcement could only be made after seven days in accordance with tradition.





Very sad. I still saw him at his son's wedding 2 weeks ago at Oregun. He was full of life and went round greeting all the guests & introducing Ondo state governor to a number of his guests.

Eyop: Go to Bridgestone Office at Iyana Isolo at Apapa oshodi express way and you sure will get a good tyre there at an affordable price. When you purchase your tyre there,they will fix it and do a computer wheel balancing and alignment for you there free of charge.

Hello. Kindly give a more detailed direction of how to get to the bridgestone office at Iyana Isolo, I'm not very familiar wt tht area and I want to replace my tyres wt original. Also pls do u hv an idea of the cost of each 195/65R15 tyre.

Thanks.

Hello peeps.
Kindly advise. I need to replace my tryes. I use a Baby Boy 98. My plan is to replace the two front tyres first & then the remaining 2 next month. My budget initially was like 25k.

I later stumbled on a thread where it was advised not to go for tyres in tht my range as its goin to be chinko tht can mess me up.

My vulcaniser was also bragging tht there is a place he can help me get 1st grade fairly used, set of 4 for just 20k. That its far better than new chinko tyres.

I'm planning to sell the car 3rd quarter next year, that is the reason I'm reluctant in considering standard brands like bridgestone, Michelin & others.

Seriously, I don't want tyres to embarrass me as I'd be travelling soon; and so I'm now considering stretching myself a lil & buy 2 standard tyres for now.

Pls where can I get in Lag. I don't want some unscrupulous businessmen to go & sell refurbished tyres for me as new.

Someone mentioned on a thread tht bridestone has a ware house at Apapa Oshodi express way (Iyana Isolo) but tht description is not detailed enough.

Can someone pls give me a detailed direction of where I can get in Lag. And an idea of the cost of each P195/65 tyre. Either micheline, bridestone or any other standard brand tht won't mess up.

Although I'm still considering my vulcanizer's set of 4 for just 20k since I'll be selling the ride next year.

BlessedFellow: @Kindy: Please is fintserve.com listed on nebosh official website as an accredited centre?

I did mine wt a company in Omole phase 2, Berger, Lagos. The name of the company is Hybrid consulting (www.hybrid-hse.com). They offer NEBOSH IGC for N245, 000.

Very nice & friendly peeps. They re also accredited, u'll write the exam there on the 10th day. From my experience, no matter how good they are where u want to use, u will still hv to do a lot of self study. I mean a lot.

chess guru: Well my mum came to ph for the 1st time and said ph reminded her of lagos of the 1990's. Same drive, same energy, but no organization.
Brodaly accommodation in ph is expensive o. A self contain In that dreaded Aluu in port harcourt can be gotten for100,000 to 130,000 a year (yes o that dreaded aluu, which is a student area sef).
In town is not too good either. J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ put your mind for a minimum of 250,000 (in a slightly decent area) to 300, 400, 500k (all depending on the particular area you choose).
Final advice will be for you to get a place close 2 work because you don't know hold up till you get to ph. The drivers in lag are matured. Sometimes you can even stick out ur hand and beg a danfo, and he might let you in the lane, Hell ave seen folks J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ flash their head lamps here, and that's enough for another driver to let you into the lane...try that shi*t in ph and dey will almost jam your hand and your head lamp together !
My honest opinion is that if your being sent 2 ph, then a raise wouldn't be a bad idea (except if your coy is an oil company, then nothing do you boss!)

Thank u so much for the Port Harcourt info. I appreciate it Bro.

chess guru: Like seriously where do the keke load from?
Make I no fall my hand any further , but I don't think onikan is part of obalende.
Some1 help me out. After all we learn everyday

There are two spots in Obalende that Keke loads VI. They load at the junction of that road beside that big building with the sign post "Ministry of commnication" (to your left, if you are facing the building). They also load at the junction of a road that faces Access bank directly, few metres away from that police headquarters I mentioned earlier.

Onikan is not Obalende, but not too far away. Few minutes drive from Obalende will take you to Onikan.

mincuu: which bridge the keke go follow reach Onikan roundabout?

The keke is not passing any bridge. U re not familiar wt the place as well.

I can't recollect the name of the street but tht police headquarters in Obalende is on tht street. There is an Access bank & a GTB on tht same road. U turn at the first turning to the left & it will take u straight to Onikan roundabout.

chess guru: Wtf!! Keke from obalende to vi
Which lagos are you staying in, which bridge the keke they pass

The Keke will pass thru Onikan roundabout to Muson centre & then link tht one way road heading to VI.

You re obviously not familiar wt this route & should hv just asked to be enlightened. I just check mated the Chess guru
