My comparison would be which has been more beneficial. Yes FB is one of the greatest things to happen in this century but truth is apart from networking with old lost friends and being able to hear the latest gossip or see a new showoff its the same ole networking site, however NL is more informative and purposeful. NL is the bomb, FB has very great untapped potentials, maybe Seun can sell Mark Zukerberg some ideas! |

I did my undergraduate studies in the University of Maiduguri and must say that generally the people in that town are peaceful and less violent than some of their Northern neighbors, but sincerely this NYSC thing is becoming too much of a problem, if its not lives lost in Jos then its Bauchi or Maiduguri! After going through the harrowing experience of NYSC, its obvious that the program has lost the aim of what it was meant to achieve when it was started. I hope that we can review the whole program and come up with a better way of running it or just completely stop the damn thing. Nigeria I hail thee! |

Adebayor should be penalized for his stamp on RVP for the good of the game but it should not go beyond that. The player has been rejected, booed and provoked by the same fans and there is every possibility this will continue, the fans have blood running through their veins so does Adebayor professional or not. A 2 or 3 match ban would be a little over. I would love to see him play MAN U, damn no Tevez no Adebayor that's less glory for MAN U! ![]() |

An epic bloody showdown opposing the army and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and other militants who have rejected the amnesty offer by President Umaru Musa Yar’adua looms large as the deadline for militants to handover their weapons draws near. Yar’adua offered an amnesty to the Niger Delta militants who want to lay down arms but only two MEND commanders have accepted the offer up till now. The others have vowed to continue fighting. The amnesty deadline expires at midnight on September 16. President Yar’adua ordered the army into a state of high alert ahead of a planned pre-emptive military strike on the Niger Delta. Huhuonline.com has learnt from impeccable Presidential sources that a joint amphibious attack involving the army, the navy and the air force will be launched to decapitate and dislodge the militants from their hideouts. Sources told Huhuonline.com that the President wants to assert his authority and is hell-bent on restoring order in the strife-torn Niger Delta “at all cost” to halt the economic sabotage that has cut into the country’s oil output, forcing Royal Dutch/Shell and Chevron to declare force majeure on several oil fields and cutting oil production by as much as 580,000 bpd. Israeli Gunboats While waiting for the cease fire with MEND to run out, the President has given the go-ahead for the army to procure two Israeli Shaldag MK-2 patrol boats to patrol the Niger Delta and prevent attacks on oil platforms on the high seas. Huhuonline.com learnt from Nigerian Defense Intelligence sources that the first armed corvette vessel has already been delivered to the Joint Task Force (JTF) and the second is on the way. About 80 Nigerian seamen are presently being trained on terrorism and counter-insurgency operations at the northern Israeli port city of Haifa. Huhuonline.com previously reported that the Nigerian Navy bought six Manta-class offshore patrol vessels from Malaysia and Singapore last year. The Navy requested and procured 35 new machine-gun equipped fast patrol boats, which, on the instructions of the Presidency, were paid for by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The first consignment of two 38 meter Manta-class patrol boats built by the Nautica Nova Shipbuilding yard in Malaysia and fully financed by NNPC have already been delivered to the Navy. Defense ministry sources told Huhuonline.com that another four 17 meter Manta-class patrol boats from Singapore Technologies Marine have also been delivered while talks are currently underway with French and British shipyards. Huhuonline.com understands that France’s DCNS (Direction des Constructions Navales Services) - a naval defence company and one of Europe's leading shipbuilders - had long hoped to sell Nigeria several of its small Gowind-class corvettes for a total cost of $800 million. In its bid the French shipyard was backed by France’s procurement agency, Délégation Générale pour l'Armement(DGA), which sent several lobbyists to Abuja last year. But the proactive Israeli lobby in Aso Rock prevailed on the President and Israeli Shipyards were chosen to supply the patrol vessels, which are reportedly less costly but also considerably smaller (24.8m) and hence easier to operate in the Delta creeks than the French patrol boats. Since the early 2000s Israel has drawn closer to Nigeria. Before he was named head of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, in 2002, Meir Dagan visited Nigeria prospecting on behalf of several Israeli defense companies. Huhuonline.com checks reveal that in 2006, Israel’s Aeronautics Defense Systems (ADS) signed an agreement with then-president Olusegun Obasanjo to install a surveillance system for the Delta and Nigeria’s territorial waters with Aerostar unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned Seastar vessels. The Israeli daily Haaretz’s revelation of the contract negotiated without the authorization of Israel’s defense ministry resulted in its cancellation, and the Nigerian defense ministry lost money that had been advanced to ADS. In addition to Shaldag patrol boats, the Nigerian Navy has acquired 20 troop-carrying catamarans from the Dutch yard TP Marine. To conduct effective operations in the Delta, the armed forces will need to quickly dispatch soldiers up creeks and rivers in the area. The catamarans are aimed at measuring up to MEND’s outboard vessels. They will be operated by the Joint Task Force, an inter-service unit in charge of operations in the Niger Delta. Russian Helicopters. One strategic advantage of the JTF over the Niger Delta militants is air superiority. The Air Force has indeed ordered four Agusta A109E helicopters as well as Russian MI-24 and MI-34 helicopters. The Italian Agustas haven’t yet arrived, but sources told Huhuonline.com that the Russian aircraft were delivered just before Russian president Dimitri Medvedev’s visit last June. However, an Air Force source told Huhuonline.com that Nigerian pilots are having trouble getting used to the large and highly sophisticated helicopters and only Russian instructors sent to Nigeria are able to fly them at present; raising the grim prospects that Russian pilots might be called upon to take part in the planned attack. The rest of the Nigerian military’s helicopter fleet, consisting mainly of Super Pumas made by Eurocopter; Super Lynx’s (AgustaWestland) and Russian MI-35s, are not in flying condition at present. President Yar’adua has directed the Air Force to call on its Western partners to recondition them with new rotor blades. Once renovated they will be able to intervene in the Niger Delta in tandem with the new Nigerian patrol boats. Whether this latest show of force by the Yar’adua government will end the long-running militancy in the Niger Delta remains to be seen. But this latest effort at rearmament by the army only goes to vindicate hard line elements within MEND who have vowed never to renounce their militancy. |

I wrote this test on Monday and have been notified today that i will be contacted by a Guinness personnel. The verbal was good for me as an Arts major, the numeric was not funny and the abstract starts to get hazy after a while lol, especially when you are delayed for 3hours before you get started on your test. My advice for anyone writing their test is to make sure you prepare and tackle you strong area and earn the maximum points there, the time is too short to actually answer the whole questions, well there might be exceptions! |

I have read Chimamanda's book Purple Hibiscus, which i ordered from the Kachifo store last year, and i must confess i was touched. For someone used to reading a lot of foreign literature it was a relief to be able to read an indigenous author and not want to keep the book down. Her understanding and expression of our culture is impressive. I look forward to reading her latest book! |
