I was just messing with you. The last time I was also looking into UK unis, I tried Google so tey my hands started melting, still NOTHING. But to my amazement, it took Saga 1 second to find the information I spent years looking for.

Ignore everything I have said before now, wait for Sagamite, my good friend and SEFAGO's bosom confidant, to come online. He will avail you all you ever need to know, FROM EXPERIENCE, about Cranfield University. It is unfortunate they dont have a website. Bummer! While you wait, you can browse through other NL sections. There is no better way to spend your time than doing just that. Sagamite will come online to spoon-feed a grown arse man like you. Thats his job, and trust me, thats the only thing he has ever excelled at, dishing out first hand info about UK unis.


With people like you, the future of Nigeria looks unimaginably bright

I guess Sagamite has a more credible source than Google? Perhaps, he uses "Saggle."

Viva La Sagamite. The intellectual God of bad googlers.

SaharaReporters Exclusive: ‘Live Chat’ With Jonathan Was Carefully Scripted And Pre-recorded!

SaharaReporters Exclusive: ‘Live Chat’ With Jonathan Was Carefully Scripted And Pre-recorded!
By SaharaReporters, New York
Nigerians hoping to hear a “live chat” today with President Goodluck Jonathan were instead treated to a warmed-over taped interview with the national leader who reportedly has a phobia about speaking spontaneously to the public, officials in the know have leaked to SaharaReporters.

The media chat was recorded, edited on Saturday and aired today on several television networks with most Nigerian watching and tweeting as though it was relayed live.




SaharaReporters gathered from state house correspondents that the interview was conducted by carefully selected reporters who threw softball questions at the president. Historically, media chats in Nigeria are done live on television, but Mr. Jonathan abhors speaking live on television because of disastrous gaffes that have dogged his presidency.

Last April, he refused to participate in a public debate with other presidential candidates preparatory to the general elections instead opting for a carefully choreographed debate  where he engaged in a monologue , debating himself and state officials behind the scene relaying the debating live but delayed television timing.

God bless OBJ.

OBJ no fear anybody.

Hey guys, any link for those of in Guantanamo?

Google baby. Don't be that guy for god's sake!

Yeah Sagamite knows a lot. Rejection, they say, is the best teacher.

Common Oyb? You know that is true. There is nothing like "Live." It is first recorded, then transmitted.

Any link for those of us in Cotonou?

So for all the shout about research shows this, research shows that, is this all we gonna get? I called out of work, just so I could be the first person to read your so called "research" and this is what I am gonna get? Since yesterday, this is all you could come up with? An article from PM News? or abi na Telegraph ( Which is even worse than PM News  )

Sagamite, wetin dey shele? Omo  make I no lie you, you disappoint me for real. O disappoint awon boyz mehn. My five year old nephew, given the same amount of time as your intellectual self, would have done waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the Telegraph. Seriously, SagaCCCCCCCCC?

So GEJ is to blame if a Nigerian in Columbus Ohio is jobless and cant get a good job, because GEJ is the president of Nigeria and is responsible for all Nigerians home and abroad?

OAM4J:
You still haven't answered the question. Who takes responsibility for the implementation failure?

Thank you!

The people involved in implementation, and that includes but not limited to the following: the NASS, the sub-committees,  the CBN governor, the contractors, the coordinating minister and anyone directly involved with implementation of the budget.

Ofcourse as the head, he would take responsibility for the non-implementation, but to a discerning and analytic mind like mine, I want to dig deeper and see who is not doing their job; who is not signing the necessary checks, who has refused to release money to contractors, etc. We cant blame GEJ for everything. That said, if he is not firing people, then we can begin to put the blame at his doorstep. At this stage, GEJ should not be the first person to blame.

OAM4J:
Who presented the budget to the national Assembly? Who is the head of government?

The answers to those will answer your question.

She is talking about implementation, not the structure of the budget itself.

GEJ's job is to come up with a budget, present the budget to the NASS, and then sign it after it is passed. He seems to have done his side of the deal.

WHat are you blaming him for again?

OAM4J:
So who takes responsibility for its failure? No one?

The buck stops at Mr president desk sha.

How?

DOnt be too sure. It is not implausible. We have the best "oyel" in the world, America would do anything to have our "oyel' all to themselves.

[size=18pt]Code of Conduct Bureau vs Tinubu: US, UK banks release accounts details *Ex-gov may be declared wanted *He lied on oath -Bureau *SRLN, US group react[/size]
Written by Lanre Adewole, Abuja
Sunday, September 11, 2011

https://nigeriaworld.com/images/news/big/politics/governors/tinubu220.jpg

Pieces of evidenceneeded by the Federal Government to prosecute the alleged illegal operation of foreign accounts by the former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have been reportedly released by the banks where the 16 accounts are said to be domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States of America (USA).

The charge filed against him by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice would be prosecuted by the Code of Conduct Bureau which is directly under the Presidency and empowered under the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) to prosecute public officers who run afoul of the assets declaration law.

The 1999 Constitution forbids public office holders from operating foreign accounts while in office, while those they have in operation before assumption of office are to be closed for the duration of the tenure of office.

Code of Conduct Bureau, while charging Tinubu before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, claimed that Tinubu operated and maintained 16 foreign accounts in the USA and UK while in office between 1999 and 2007 and lied on oath while filling the mandatory asset declaration form for public officers before being sworn-in into office, by not disclosing the said accounts in his forms.

Operation of foreign accounts by public officials was banned by the law to forestall money laundering, though the chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Sam Saba, had disclosed a new discovery which showed that public officials now open foreign accounts in the names of their family members and relatives and use left hands to sign, in order to disguise the real identity of the owners.

Some of the foreign accounts allegedly traced to Tinubu by the bureau are in the names of his wife and children.

All the accounts in his wife and children names, according to the charge, are domiciled in the UK, while all the USA accounts bears his name as well as a few ones in the UK.

A source within the system noted that the proof of evidence against him had been packaged, following the release of evidential documents from the banks, which reportedly revealed dates of transactions that fell within his time in office, as well as the movement of monies in and out of the accounts.

Nigeria has a working understanding with both the USA and UK on the issue of money laundering.

A number of witnesses were also said to have been lined up, with the source refusing to disclose their identities for security reasons.

The source added that the new proof of evidence was more loaded than the previous one attached to the charge brought against him in 2007, noting that the amended charge was made to include allegation of maintaining the accounts while in office, in order to pre-empt him from using the excuse that he had been operating them before becoming governor.

[size=18pt]It was also gathered that the excuse that the accounts pre-dated his coming to office would not avail him, because he did not list them in his asset declaration form[/size].

Unlike the usual practice of lawyers from the office of the AGF prosecuting, [size=18pt]it was learnt that an experienced Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) had been hired by the prosecution to lead the legal team.
[/size]
The proof of evidence had been previously filed before the tribunal by the bureau with a source revealing that a more detailed proof of evidence might be added to the case this week.

[size=18pt]It was also gathered that the former governor might be declared wanted if he failed to heed the summons of the tribunal, with a source saying that he might not show up on the trial date and bring preliminary objection.[/size]

[size=15pt]"Just like they did in (Nuhu) Ribadu's case and shielded him from appearing before the tribunal until they applied the political solution and those who did that are very much around this person too, but we are waiting," said the source.
[/size]

The source added that in the likely scenario that he brought a preliminary objection, his application would be treated first by the tribunal before the consideration for a bench warrant, if he still failed to appear in an event of his objection not succeeding.


Issuance of a fresh summons by the tribunal was confirmed by the Sunday Tribune source, who explained that the case was taken to be fresh because of the amendment to the charge and re-packaged proof of evidence, despite that it was initiated in 2007, which informed the decision of the tribunal to serve a fresh summons on him for appearance on the trial date.


[size=18pt]The tribunal, on Friday, disclosed that it had fixed the commencement of the trial for September 21, in Abuja.
[/size]

A statement signed by Special Adviser/Director, Abdulazeez Moh. Badisha, on behalf of the tribunal's chairman, claimed that Tinubu contravened Section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap 56 Law of the Federation of Nigeria 1990 (As Amended), which is punishable under Section 23 (2) thereof as incorporated under Paragraph 18, Part 1, Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution.


Some of the banks in the USA mentioned in the charge as holding Tinubu's alleged illegal accounts are; First Heritage Bank, Country Club Hills, Citibank NA New York, where he allegedly kept six accounts both in his name and that of Compass Finance and Investment Company Ltd; and Citibank International New York, where he allegedly kept two accounts.


In the UK, HSBC of 177 Great Portland Street, London, WIW 6QJ, is listed as his only bank of choice, with seven different accounts listed against his name, his wife's and children's, with Shade Oluremi Tinubu reportedly holding three different accounts; Bola, two; and his kids, one each.


The bureau claimed in a seven-paragraph affidavit supporting the charge, deposed to by Ikechi Iwuagwu, a deputy director, that "on 4th of March, 2003, before the expiration of the first term in office of Governor Bola Tinubu, an asset declaration form CCB-1 was sent to the accused person as a public officer. The accused person declared his assets and liabilities in the said form and returned the form to our office on 6th January, 2004. A copy of the said form is hereby attached and marked as Exhibit "A."All the assets declared by the accused person are as indicated in the assets declaration from CCB-1. The accused person did not declare any other things/assets or the operation of several foreign bank accounts in the said assets declaration form CCB-1 submitted by the accused person marked as Exhibit A. I was informed by Mr. O. T. Olatigbe, counsel handling this matter, and I verily believe him that the accused person is still operating several foreign bank accounts which he did not declare before the Code of Conduct Bureau."

Reactions


Meanwhile, an Abuja based Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), the Society for Rule of Law in Nigeria (SRLN), has hailed the Code of Conduct Tribunal over the planned commencement of the criminal trial of Tinubu.


The group described the trial already scheduled to begin on September 21 as a welcome development, adding that; "Nigerians, irrespective of their political affiliations, must begin to speak with one voice against corruption, because it (corruption) has no political party."


The SRLN said in a statement issued on Saturday by its Coordinator, Comrade Chima Ubeku, that with the impending trial of Tinubu, those thinking that they were sacred cows ought to begin to have a rethink.


The group also urged the Federal Government to prosecute Tinubu for alleged perjury, saying; "he lied on oath by refusing to declare the operation of many foreign bank accounts in the assets declaration form CCB-1 he submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau on 6th January, 2004.


"This is a kind of news that gladdens our hearts and we hope that the Code of Conduct Tribunal will pursue the case to a logical conclusion.


"We are also waiting to hear from those bread and butter groups to make the kind of noise that they used to make whenever a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member is on trial for alleged corruption.


"We want to read editorials in the newspapers against Tinubu as it was done against people like Chief Bode George; former Speaker, Dimeji Bankole; former Delta State governor, Chies James Ibori; among others," the group said.


While calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to also clear the air on the allegations of corruption against Tinubu, which its former chairman, Ribadu, said the commission investigated and that it had 'international dimension.'


SRLN asked; "has the international dimension of the case ended with Tinubu and Ribadu holding hands at campaign rallies?"


In a similar vein, the Justice For All Nations (JFAN), a US-based NGO, called for the trial of Tinubu for perjury, just as it commended the will to start his trial for illegal operation of foreign accounts.


The group noted that since Tinubu lied on oath to the Code of Conduct Bureau on the accounts, he ought to face the music separately.


"Most importantly too, the EFCC must tell Nigerians what has happened to the case against Tinubu, which its former chairman, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, said had international dimension," the group said.


In the statement signed by its Coordinator, Dr. Dada Popoola, the group charged President Goodluck Jonathan to demonstrate to Nigerians that he had the will to tackle corruption, saying, "we are happy that the Code of Conduct Tribunal has woken up to its responsibilities and we urge that this case be diligently prosecuted.


"It is also hoped that the EFCC will tell Nigerians where Tinubu's corruption case files are being kept.


"At least, we are aware that Ribadu said publicly that 'Tinubu's corruption has international dimension and there is no time for the EFCC to tell Nigerians what has happened to that corruption case and its international dimension.


"Tinubu should also be made to face criminal charge for perjury because he lied on oath by refusing to declare the operation of several foreign bank accounts in the assets declaration form CCB-1 he submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau on 6th January, 2004."

AjanleKoko:
I used Carson as an example of someone who didn't graduate in the top tier of his class, but went on to a highly successful career. Forget trying to make comparisons, it's the same scenario that a 2:2 grad would face in Nigeria. Hypothetically, a Nigerian with 2:2 may not have even gotten into a Nigerian equivalent of Johns Hopkins.

I wasnt trying to debate. First of all, you dont debate, you are an "internet gangsta" whose expertise is in dishing out career advice to "f/u/c/k-ups" (oloshi ni bobo SEFAGO yi) like you, who are too lazy to google shyyt. I have excelled in a foreign country even though I wasnt born here. I admire your courage, but I dont read the shyyt you post because they are useless. Only useful to dullards who had to bribe their way into university.

Since you couldnt understand the point of my post, I will break it down to you. The point is that there is no reason bringing up Carson on a thread like this. Carson graduated in the lower half of his class right. meaning, he was a below average student at Yale. 2:2 is the average in Nigeria. Bringing up Carson to make yourself feel better is like comparing Apples to Oranges. Just as how you brought up Fola Adeola's name, it was totally unnecessary, childish, petulant and absurd. It makes you look like a f/u/c/k-up that I dont think you really are. At least, not to your teaming fans on NL


Again dropping JHU, there is nothing like a Nigerian equivalent of JHU. You reasoning is TBH below what you would expect from a college graduate, not to talk of someone holding a masters. And this is not the first time you will exhibit such retardedddd way of looking at issues.

Again, when you say a highly successful career, I am not sure what your point is exactly. Successful career, yes. Highly successful? Not sure. Anyway, I dont think there is any reason bringing up Carson. But hey, you are the moderator! You know it all.

Sagamite:
This is really a poor contextualisation.

Actually, SEFAGO's contextualization was great. Best I have seen so far on this thread. BTW, contextualization is better spelt with a "z." Spelling contextualization with a "s" makes you look g/a/y. Just saying. Or are you?

As I have already said, academic degree class is not a good measure of intelligence. I am sure there are several research that has shown that the predominant style of educating those not adequately test intelligence equitably. It is too narrow and too structured.

Ofcourse, nothing predicts or measures intelligence perfectly. But hey, it ( "academic class degree" or whatever you call it) is the best we have right now. Hit the books or hit the welfare. You cant have it both ways. With a "C" in mathematics in WAEC, I totally understand your anxiety. Its normal. You are not alone, Ajanlekoko is with you.

Research shows people have different learning styles and different stages of academic peak.

What research? Which one?  Dont tell me you believe everything you read in the newspaper. BTW, PM News is not a credible source for something as abstract as learning and intelligence, FYI

A structured and narrow educational system that is utilised globally for expedient reasons does not take this into context.

Too verbose and nonsensical. Is English your second language or something?

Worse still in a [b]failed system like Nigeria where people have to cram to excel [/b]and people do courses that is not ideal for their ability because the environment provides success possibilities for very few courses.

People cram everywhere.
Nothing is learnt without craming. Craming is the first step in any learning endeavor. "The first step in the acquisition of knowledge is silence, the second is listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others." — Solomon Ibn Gabriol. You cannot overemphasize the importance of cramming in the acquisition of knowledge. Trying to undermine the effectiveness of cramming shows how out-of-touch you are. Even the IQ tests, the most reliable of them all, success depends largely on how well you can recall stuff and how fast.

But hey, You tha best. Atleast, Naijababe thinks so. 

2:2 in Nigeria should be less judged than in other countries that can boast more broad and superior learning styles/environment, better facilities and better career guidance/possibilities.

Ofcourse, the lawn is always greener in obodo-oyinbo, especially for people like you who couldnt cut in Nigeria. Truth be told, the game hasnt changed, Hardwork! Hardwork! Hardwork! Thats all you need. I understand that the ability to study all night isnt a gift nature endowed most people, select few like yours truly besides!

If you can cut it in Nigeria, you will cut it anywhere. I understand your plight though, you are probably one of those people who could not cut it in Nigeria and got some Affirmative Action break in the UK. No wonder, you keep on building lies and ridiculous rationalizations for all (excellence) that you lack :::::SMH:::::

That said, academic qualifications in its current form only (at best) reflects knowledge/aptitude in a field or a moderate (not high) correlation with intellect.

Says who? What is the alternative? ROFLMAO!

AjanleKoko:
That popular black brain surgeon, Carson or what's his name? Didn't he graduate in the lower half of his class at Yale, only to go on to med school at U. Michigan, and end up the youngest paediatric neurosurgery chief in Johns Hopkins?

I dont understand how Ben Carson got into this thread. I have a feeling Ajanlekoko is now on the defensive and would drop any name just to prove his point. Too bad. A  young under 30 foreign trained grad student seems to be out-debating an over 30, home based Nigerian.  Maybe SEFAGO does have a point here. 2:2 = low IQ

Carson went to Yale, there is no school in Nigeria or Africa for that matter that comes close to Yale.
Second, Carson had a sub 1200 on SAT, putting him in the lower tier of freshmen at Yale when he entered. Little wonder he graduated in the lower half of his class
Third, there is no equivalent of a 2:2 in the American system. The System is different from Naija's  style
Fourth, It is moronic to compare Carson's story with that of any Nigerian.
Lastly, Sup Sagamite? Why did you tell Seun to ban me? Why do that? Why buddy?
