TheSuperNerd:
There are people still dying for the country.... (the soldiers and all).

But as for me, staying alive will be just okay. I don't have to die for Nigeria to prove my loyalty. You may never know what my staying alive will do for Her or the world. And yep.... I'm working my socks off.

Sometimes, staying alive is the loyalty...

Imagine what would have happened had Winston Churchill died when hit by a car in New York just before the world war II began.

Even FDR (or is it Harry Truman?) was supposed to have died before WWII.... But somehow, their staying alive became their nations' and the earth's salvation as both men led their nations to defeat the super madness of Adolf Hitler.


So another question is will you stay alive for your country?

Note: Staying alive refers to those really doing something worthwhile with their lives. People really building themselves and their dreams. So uhmm... are you one of them? #selah


P.S: Your exact question was already answered by you. But there are families losing loved ones in Nigeria daily in their battle against boko haram and such... don't mock their loss.

Critical analysis guy. and neither am I here to mock Those who'd laid down their souls.

allthingsgood:
What a stupid question. OP u reason like a child. There are people laying down their lives every single day for this nation. So dont come here and belittle their efforts! Maybe we should send ur head to sambisa for a few days...rubbish!

You're right man. Those people doing that had earlier sacrificed their autonomy and then pledged their life to the sovereignty of the Nationhood.
But can you also emulate their Feat?

Ever since I started my primary school in the early 90s, all I've seen is a scalar nation.
A nation without sustainable development program.

A nation that does not care if its citizens exist except when in need of their vote.

A nation which most of its leaders are not inclined about modern technological approach in solving complex issues.

A nation in which there's no plan to curtail the continuous degradation of her environment.

A nation in which virtually everything it uses are imported.

A nation with vast Arable land but still ignored investment in agriculture.

A nation in which it's citizens security is not guaranteed.

A Nation whose educational policies are not pragmatic and engineered towards tackling the prevailing issues.

A nation in which everybody want to become a POLITICIAN just to make quick dough.


I could go on and on about the AGONY of every Nigerian and it won't stop


Unlike Americans (USA precisely) it is an honor for them to lay down their lives for America


Just yesterday a friend asked me if I COULD DIE FOR THE CAUSE OF NIGERIA, and my Response was NO.


If asked similar question, would your response differ from mine and if YES, WHY?

FAKE STORIES EVERYWHERE!!!

Welcome to the thread created mainly to assist
and prepare the students of BIOLOGY O'LEVEL & A'LEVEL.


BIOLOGICAL DRAWING PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUE
DRAWINGS : These are pictorial representation of an
object or a projection of the mind on paper in such a way
that the essential details and composition are made known.
General drawing will include different kinds of pencil work
like shading and painting, used to drive home point, This
kind of drawing is fine Art Drawing.

However, biological drawings are more or less diagrams
(plans) meant to show all the features of the object but still
carefully and selectively avoiding tautology of parts.
Therefore details of shading are not strictly adhered to but
rather discourage.

A good biology student must be able to

- Make simple and neat diagrams,
- Ability to draw fast enough with minimal error,
- Ability to make complete diagram i.e. with, titles or heading, labels, magnification using a good lines etc.
- Ability to draw base on observation and nit from what you think should be there.


Types of biological drawing
Basic diagram
Annotated diagram


Basic diagram: Are the commonly referred biology drawing. It involves making normal representation with the exact and correct labeling of the parts without any notes or references from the diagram.

Annotated diagram: These are the kind of diagram made to reflect and include some notes of references on the parts labeled.
These include stating very precisely the uses of any special features or alternative names or the involvements of the parts labeled in some physiological phenomena.

Materials For Biological Diagram
1. Pencil : The pencil is the most important tool in drawing. Hence the need to use the right pencil, and the techniques involved must strictly be adhered to. Therefore students must;

*~Use the HB pencil and 2B pencil to make diagram. HB is used to make drawing while 2B for labeling. However, where there is an obvious change in line thickness, 2B pencil work is added.
*~The pencil should not be less than 12cm long, with a very sharp point.
*~Sharpening of pencil must be done from time to enable smooth and easy drawing without piercing your paper.
*~Always have at least two HB pencil for drawing and one 2B pencil for labeling.
*~The pencil pencil should be held at 6cm away from the drawing sheet in order to ensure free movements of hands.



2 PAPER: All drawing should be done on unlined paper
(blank paper, A4 papers), and should also be neatly labelled. Besides, the paper must have margin of at least 1cm on all sides.


3 Blade: For sharpening of pencil which must be done
from time to enable smooth and easy drawing without piercing your paper.


4 Eraser : this is use for correction of errors. However, certain precautions must be taken when using an eraser;
*~ Do very little erasing, though no erasing is
better. So avoid mistakes/errors.
*~Use very soft erasers only e.g “TYKO”.
*Clean eraser with a duster, handkerchief or lab coat to wipe out peels and dirt on the eraser regularly
*~Use the face of the eraser (with care) and not the edge for better result.


5 RULER : Use only transparent ruler (30cm). Ruler must
be applied for labelling in biological diagram.



Basic Principles and Techniques of Biology Diagram
1. The Lines : impression and justification of a diagram
is largely due to appearance of the line. When lines are
badly drawn, different diagram may ensure. Hence,

*~ Lines should be very thin not faint but clearly
visible.
*~Lines must be straight {not ruler straight} as
required.
*~Avoid wooly or wavy lines, thus students
should not always make a wavy lines with
intention of coming back to trace them.
*~Lines should be continuous, hence avoid broken lines.

2 Shading rule : shading especially painting is not encouraged in biology diagrams. Where or indication warrants the likes of shading, a few dots may be made. However, students are allowed to use dots, crosses or dash to show contrast stipple.

3 Labeling : This is the identification of various parts
or part of a diagram. It is an integral part of the diagram,
without it, the diagram is incomplete. Therefore students
must;
*~Make use of ruler to make label lines.
*~Never use an arrow end to point a part as guidelines.
*~All guidelines should be horizontal as much as possible.
*~Endeavor to make the guideline parallel to each other
(this may not be strictly ached to if obviously going to bring
more hard ship to the exercise).
*~Radial labeling not usually encourage because students
usually mismanage it.
*~Guidelines [label lines] must never cross each other.
*~The labels can be placed on one or both sides of the
diagram especially when too many lines on one side may
cause confusion.


4 Flag labeling: is the act of labeling usually a
dissected specimen in a tray, by writing the label (names and/
or notes) on a very small piece of paper or card and this is
pinned right beside or on the part referred to this is usually
done in practical laboratory class for inspection.

5. Heading: All diagrams must have a suitable heading or title. The heading must be informative but precise, and not as long as to from a complete sentence but rather a short phrase example
[ a] Diagram illustrating external feature of a leaf
[b] Diagram showing internal feature of kidney
[c] Drawing of longitudmal section of an orange fruit.


*~ Headings must be written at the centralised above and not below the diagram
* All heading must begin with either Drawing or diagram for instance if f your draw a leaf and u titled it A LEAF (WRONG: The diagram is not a leaf rather an image of a leaf ). Thus, DRAWING OF A LEAF (CORRECT)
*~Any diagram without heading is like a handsome man without a name.
*~If you use scientific name write it under the picture i.e image (image drawn)
*~If a drawing is made from prepared slides the heading or title may be precisely the title on the slide.

OTHER RULES GUIDING BIOLOGY RAWING

PRESENTATION : All diagrams must contain name,
date and period number in the upper right.

SIZE OF DIAGRAM: Always make large diagram, under no circumstance should a diagram be less than 10cm
(long).except when obviously constrained. Where necessary,
double lines should not be less than 2.5mm across. Besides,
drawing must be made to show all parts without crowding The higher the number of parts to be included the larger the diagram. Hence, drawing must be about half a page in size.

PAINTING OR COLOUR : This is not allow in biological drawing; though in textbooks this may be necessary to
illustrate some point like red blood vessels (usually in red Ink).


ORIENTATION : The exact position or orientation when
drawing is made must be indicated e.g.
Dorsal view (top or back view)
Ventral view (Bottom or belly view)
Lateral view (side view)
Anterior view (front view)
Posterior view (hind view)

amoobabatundeyakub..co.ke/2014/04/biology-drawing.html?m=0#

SECTIONING : The direction of cutting or sectioning, where done must be indicated. There are various kind of
sectioning and this are;

Longitudinal sectioning : it is drawing cutting from north to south (vertical section) (e.g the way you cut water melon )
Transverse sectioning: it is a drawing cutting from east to west (cross section : I.e the way cut orange)

MAGNIFICATION: This involve giving a comparative size of your drawing to that of the original specimen. This may
be achieved, either by direct measurement where the specimen is handy and on the table or calculate mathematically when microscope observation is involved.

For direct measurement e.g. a provided tilapia fish or a
leaf. A graduate scale (a ruler) is used to determine the
length and breadth (size) and this is compared with the
measure size of drawn specimen.
Magnification for scale =
image on paper(cm) e.g. 10cm/5cm = 2cm
Object on table (cm)
Thus we can have
X ⅛, X¼, X⅓, X½, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5.......
ETC
For microscopic magnification=
eye piece x objective lens x image`.

Usually, the eye piece power is fixed at X 10, X15 Or X7
for must microscope while the objective lens varies as X 4,
X 10, X20, X40, X100 ( oil immersion ).
Hence drawing made at low power X 4 (objective) or X10
(objective) will have the magnifications of X40 x image
length (10x4 x image) if the eye piece is 4. or X100 i.e.
(10x10 x image) if the eye piece is 10. Magnification is written as Xn (where n is th value of magnification)

BASIC RULES OF GETTING INTO TGE GYM IS “EAT BIG THEN LIFT BIG”

The list is incomplete faa. what of Mokwa - Ilorin Road na der u go know say Train better pass Road Transport

[quote author=opeyemiieblog post=43506989]Some of the most dangerous roads to travel in Nigeria are as following :

1). Abuja-Lokoja-Okene-Kabba: If you have travelled from anywhere in the Southwest of Nigeria to Abuja through the Lokoja-Okene road in Kogi State, then you will understand that this is a road of death. Not only is this road bad, it is a haven of armed robbers. Thousands of passengers travelling the Lokoja-Okene road to Abuja or to Ondo State have been waylaid by armed bandits and dispossessed of their goods. The same can be said of the Ilorin-Kabba-Lokoja road and the Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road among others along that same axis.


2). Lagos-Sagamu-Ore-Benin road: An analyst noted that “If there is any road in the country that has portrayed successive governments in the country in bad light as failed governments in the last two decades, it is the Lagos- Sagamu –Ore –Benin road.” This road is not only bad and terrible for motorists, it is also a den of robbers where unfortunate passengers have been robbed and raped if their vehicles break down along the road. Travelling through the road is like travelling through the valley of the shadow of death.


3). Lagos-Ibadan
expressway: Constructed in 1974, the 120-kilometre highway is the only major road linking Lagos to Ibadan and other states within and beyond the Southwest of the Nigeria. The FRSC reported that in 2012 that 775 people died in 2,075 accidents along this road. The main dangers along this major expressway linking other states to Lagos is that of unmotorable road and frequent accidents, largely caused by oil tankers and overspeeding vehicles on the expressway filled with potholes.


4) Okigwe-Umuahia road: The ever-busy Enugu Port Harcourt expressway has always been a death trap for commuters. While road contractors hired to repair and maintain the road had abandoned it due to funds not being released by the government, the roads have fallen into terrible disrepair and become a death-trap for motorists and passengers alike.


5) Otukpo-Otukpa road in Makurdi: It is true that Otukpo and Otukpa roads are both within Makurdi in Benue State, this is a major road where craters, gulley erosion, potholes, and even dare-devil robbers rule the road. From Otukpa to Otukpo, the ancestral home of Idoma kingdom; you’d be forced to dance along with your vehicle to no rhythm for close to four hours in the journey, which ought not to last for about one or 2 hours. A columnist wrote that “For regular travelers, the thought of venturing on Otukpa- Otukpo road is the beginning of a journey into uncertainties, eternity or the easiest way of booking appointment with fate and grave, nay a way of bring money for nearby coffin makers.”


6) Enugu-Awka-Onitsha road: The deplorable state of the highway linking Enugu, Awka, and Onitsha has forced hundreds of motorists to abandon the road and reroute via the old road from Udi to Awka. Several people have died in traffic accidents occurring on this
road, and it continues to be a serious headache to passengers and motorists alike.


7) Kaduna-Abuja road: The Kaduna highway links many states in the north of the country to Abuja but boasts of over 400 potholes. In fact, the state of the road bears no image of a channel that links major states in the north to the Federal Capital Territory. An 18- seater Hummer bus was once involved in a ghastly motor accident that caused the loss of 14 lives along this road – they were all burnt to death beyond recognition. The vehicle had been coming from Kano State to Abuja.

Deltagiant:
Not true, IPOB through their global Radio Broadcast last night labelled the Ohaneze spokes boy, Isiguzoro, persona non grata.

It was further revealed that the boy Isiguzoro is not even a member of IPOB. We also learnt he and one old rag called Chief Joe Nworgu presented themselves as IPOB executives and hijacked the visiting Americans who came to ascertain the true situation. The result of three months of intense bombardment of US lawmakers with telephone calls by IPOB worldwide.

And in return, they were rewarded handsomely with some amount of money by the FG agents.

We also learnt that all calls put to Isiguzoro were not picked. He has switched off his phone and went into hiding.

This is what is currently happening. Terrible impersonation.

.Y u no talk since na now u con dey agitate. Anyway give us more as una IPOD dey fall apart.

These photos kind of make me wonder about TY's claim that the "Agege bread" lady just happened to be walking by, is not a model, and wasn't planned for, or a part of the photo shoot.

I strongly doubt that.
Who hawks agege bread at night?

No. This is a popular hoax on internet. Mabel Hubbard was Bell's girlfriend who he later marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876. Graham Bell actually never used the term "hello" . The first call he made was to his assistant who was in the adjoining room and he said "Come-here. I want to see you." The word "Hello" actually came from hola which meant to stop and pay attention. Alexander Bell preferred to use Ähoy"as in the ships those days which co-incidentally was misheard by Edison. In 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh : Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What you think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00. Here are some interesting sources you may refer.
