Overhyping you call it right? You're obviously very late to the party. Warfare in 2020 isnt all about guns and bombs, you obviously dont realise the sheer economic power and stronghold China has on the whole world today. You simply dont understand the size of China's economy and how it can manipulate the world with that. Then when we proceed to physical warfare, you clearly still dont get what it means for a country to be a nuclear power. China's defence budget is next only to the US and its overall military firepower is next only to the US and Russia; China also keeps expanding its fire power so rapidly, even the US is worried. |

pocohantas: My aunt is a caterer and she doesn’t use firewood. She is a PREMIUM caterer and her jollof is bam! The secret is NOT firewood. 
It is a type of pepper na.
Food have been burning in homes without firewood. Anything can burn food with the right intensity. Yes, burning accentuates the taste if all other is gotten right.
I didn’t say they are compulsory, they make my stock richer. Caterers use “safe“ seasonings for their stock too. So, they are not so “dispensible”. Haha... trust me, this issue has been extensively debated by the 'council' and resources were released to conduct extensive experimentation. Of course those ingredients and processes you mentioned help to give it a richer taste, but you see that unique party taste? The burning of the rice is the key key factor which produces that aroma. A lot of people may say firewood is the reason, but from research, all the firewood really does is to burn the food at the bottom and sides of the pot. I agree with you, food has been burning in homes, but 'burn' pass 'burn'! |

pocohantas: I created a thread previously; How To Make Home Made Ewa Agonyin and despite the “criticism”, I am glad it helped some people. 
For today, I would like to remind us that we have jollof rice and we have party jollof rice. I don’t need to explain the difference between the two, we all know as e dey go. I get bored with the former, never the latter. I have watched this being cooked a few times and they didn’t put anything special, none that I saw at least, but I never quite got it. Always ended up with sweet concoction rice.
It took me sometime to figure out the process and there has been no going back.
To get this, you have to be thorough and generous with ingredients. There is really no magic.

All those other ingredients you mentioned are dispensible. Following further research on the 'how' and the 'why' firewood does the magic, I discovered something else; firewood always burns the sides of the pot. In summary, the real taste of party jollof comes from burning the rice. |

IlovePMB: I don't have business with what is happening in other states. Let everyone speak for their state. Since Uzodimma was imposed on Imo State by the Fulani, Fulani herdsmen have been on rampage in Imo State. Bishop of Owerri diocese has also raised alarm and the Supreme Court governor is doing nothing about it and you want Imo people to relax since Fulani is also killing in other states. I am ashamed of people like you who I share the same country with. Oga quit trying to mask your political sentiments and prejudices under the cloak of 'patriotism', you aren't talking to children; stop politicising a tragedy. Everyone knows there's a Fulani herdsmen problem all over the place, show us how critical you've been of other neighbouring governors from your useless party who have also performed extremely badly at protecting their states. Don't give me that crap about being concerned only about Imo state; Imo isn't an Island. You can't be so concerned about Imo state but show absolutely no regard for next door neighbours like Abia and Enugu. A governor who you obviously hate just got into power weeks ago, you call for his immediate sack following one isolated incident of terrorism; you haven't even cared to know what his response would be or how the issue would be handled, infact you even basically inferred that Uzodimma is the reason the attack happened in the first place.... You haven't shown a tiny fraction of this same animosity towards leaders of neighbouring states ruled by the other party where the attacks are more frequent and with zero response, but you claim you aren't being political? I'm not only ashamed of sharing a country with people like you too, I'm also ashamed of sharing a state with cunning humans like yourself. Nonsense! |

Yes thank God you know this is roughly the first time a fulani incident is being recorded in Imo state; it's definitely not a trend. But these same herdsmen have been killing people in other SE states, worse of them is Enugu state where a major massacre was done not too long ago by the terrorists. Since you want to blindly politicise the incident in Imo, kindly also tell us how many times you called for the removal of your useless Ugwuanyi or Ikpeazu who incidently belong to your useless PDP?

Buhari will go and let's see if herdsmen would go on with their killings spree Key point to note; you only started 'hearing' of them when Buhari became president because that was the time politicians wanted you to hear of them - 2015 was the right time the crisis became a useful tool in the hands of politicians. In 2014, fulani herdsmen were ranked 4th most dangerous terror group in the world after ISIS, boko Haram and Taliban. If this was their designation in 2014, do you still think they started causing trouble only in 2015 when Buhari came to power? https://www.csw.org.uk/nigeria-fulanimilitia

IlovePMB: This criminal Supreme Court governor should be shown the way out by Imolites and Igbos in general. The fulani caliphate would elect sensible and hard working governors in the north but would impose imbbecile and criminal on Imo State to destroy Igbo land.
The worst is that a whole Catholic priest said Uzodimma is the messiah for imo state. I don't know if messiah now has a new definition. How many times have you heard of herdsmen killings in Imo state? All the other states that have had recurring herdsmen killings, specifically PDP governed states in the SE, how many times did you call for removal of their governors? Of course, this one should be removed instantly because he's an APC governor. Anyway, if political losers don't make noise, how would the world know they are losers? |

tevinsolt: Security - Decentralise the Police, given the constitution makes provision for that. Establish a zero-tolerance policy in the Police Force and the Military. This approach is a strategy to eradicate the abuse of power by law enforcement on citizens. Push a bill that allows for a jury of citizens to serve as the balanced check that needed to keep the force accountable. This will reinforce the idea of a government by people in the our democracy. Nysc - Mandatory 1 year military reserve service for all citizens. Eligible for enrollment by the age of 18 and must be completed by age 35. Citizen database - for identification
Infrastructure - Leverage the service of the enlisted Nysc members in a Govenrment driven accelerated infrastructural development, obviously cooperation with experts. we'll create 3000 miles of roads and 1500 miles of rail line respectively every year. Increased infrastructural capacity will positively impact investments in logistics and transportation and industrilization. I'll further deconstruct power distribution, will allow distributors to compete for customers without location restriction.
Education enormous investment in Public schools starting from Elementary all the way up to the University. We'll rennovate our schools, provide adequate supplies for the classrooms, build Federal public Libraries in every capital city. Open up Federal Universities for international research purposes, sponsor research in Medicines, Science and Technology Incentivize computer and information technology/science/engineering studies all across the country.
Tourism, allow ease of access for innovative ideas from local start-ups, international brands to launch their businesses. this will be another avenue for job creation creation through small businesses, and possible investment opportunities.
And finally use my execute powers to push for a decentralized federal government, and more independent states, a change to the constitution that will define clearly the rights of persons and institutions and firmly uphold those rights with the necessary checks and balance in place. Your suggestions all look very good and well articulated; but I can't help but notice that one fantastic exaggeration which makes it all look like the typical beautiful empty promises of Nigerian politician - 3000 miles of roads and 1500 miles of railways every year!! Do you have an idea how much it would cost to do just that and how exactly are you going to raise the funds for all these?

Will the Calabar to PH rail not go through Abia state? If the Mambilla dam is built and starts producing 3500mw, will the electricity not power the SE? I asked a question earlier, the immediate past PDP govt, despite receiving over 3 times more revenue, still borrowed over $20bn. Since you say the 2nd Niger bridge being built by this admin is too insignificant for the sheer size of loans taken, kindly point out what PDP govt did for the SE with the massive revenues and massive loans it also took. |

mrvitalis: A 1.6km bridge is the biggest project in the south east ..yet APC borrowed 22.5 billion and excluded south east and u have mouth to talk PDP under GEJ alone also borrowed up to $20bn. What exactly did PDP use that money to do in the SE?.... Heck! Let's even forget about the SE, what exactly did PDP use the billions of dollars they borrowed (even at a time of high oil price) to do for any part of Nigeria as a whole? Fact check: Nigeria had a total debt of $63bn as at 2015 June when APC officially took over. Unfortunately a lot of people saying APc is plunging Nigeria in debt are ignorant of this fact. I see a lot of people singing about ApC borrowing, its almost now an anthem all over Nigeria. A lot of people singing these songs are ironically sympathetic to PDP. The real question any truly intelligent lover or patriotic Nigerian should be asking is why Nigeria had a total debt of $63bn as at 2015 when PDP handed over to ApC. If we claim APC is stupid for borrowing purely for capital projects, at least APC has an excuse that govt revenues are down (due to low oil prices). The big question is, what's the excuse of the immediate past PDP govt that also borrowed billions even at a time of substantial oil revenue? Besides the Abuja - Kaduna railway which was even completed by APC, what exactly did they use those billions of borrowed dollars for? Enough of all these half baked criticism of APC (especially coming from individuals who are sympathetic to PDP). |
Education › Re: IPPIS: ASUU Plunged FG Into N800bn Debt, Says Ngige by obailala(m): 11:45am On Jun 01, 2020 |
kingi777: The IPPIS doesn't have any package for payment of allowances to lecturers. Therefore, It's only the basic salaries they now earn. So how does federal government expect them to call off the strike and diligently work when they are forcefully enrolled into IPPIS and striping them of some allowances that make their salaries tangible.
BEFORE YOU CRITICISE THE LECTURERS TAKE A LOOK AT THIS;
Take home salary for lecturers after IPPIS deduction without allowances: PhD LII is #130,000 PhD LI is #163,000 plus min. 3 years post PhD Senior Lecturer #235,000 plus min. 6years post PhD Professor ��� #345,000 plus min. 10 years post PhD Senior Professor ��� #423,000.... Minimum of 3years gap with hard work. Many spend as high as 5years before they can move up the ladder of promotions.
REMEMBER From these peanuts of a pay; They teach a crowd for a class They supervise multitudes They attend conferences from their pockets They attend seminars from this peanuts They write and publish articles in reputable journals (enquire the cost of publishing).....etc They undergo rigorous stress to carry out research. They spend minimum of 4 years in BSc They spend minimum of 2 years in MSc They spend minimum of 3 years in PhD (in Nigeria is near impossible they even spend upto 5 years and above).
Consider their rigours, the pain, the emotional trauma, physical drain, brain drain, intellectual drain they go through just to be qualified for their job specification...
I think our Lecturers work like elephants and earn like ants, they deserve a better pay or renumeration.
In terms of welfare: You know that 50% of your lecturers don't have good offices/furnitures. Most lecturers lack good working environment. Most lecturers handle/teach a crowd of students yet they still try to deliver lectures in such environment (instead of the normal 30-50 students class size). Most Lecturers supervise projects at their expense. You want his best yet you deny him the best.
When you compare this salary with those of other Federal Govt agencies it's very very ridiculous. If you compare it with Universities abroad then Nigeria �� salary scale for lecturers is infinitesimally small.
Before you criticise them; First put yourself in their shoes. Could you have studied to PhD just to earn #130,000? Could you have invested the better part of your life upto Prof just to earn #345,000? Think! They may not have been the best they should yet they are among the best in the world especially if they are giving the right environment to practice.
Before you criticise ASUU/Lecturers think. Except you are happy with the state of the university system.
NO COUNTRY CAN GROW BEYOND IT'S VALUE FOR EDUCATION.
Copied and reviewed Without a side-by-side comparison between the old system and new system, we may never have a full grasp of what the grievances of the lectures are regarding this IPPIS thing. The text you copied and pasted states that lectures will receive no allowances under the IPPIS scheme; why do I find this unbelievable? Even if we assume that is right, a question which really begs for answers is, were lectures getting any allowances in the old system prior to this IPPIS? If they did, were the so called allowances legal and transparent? I hear the IPPIS system will ensure transparency in the university payroll system by blocking illegally deducted and untraceable allowances and double salaries, and will also ensure lectures pay tax (as it should be). Of course knowing how Nigerians love illegal things, many lectures wouldn't be happy with anything that blocks the usual bazaar. By all means, this version of the story sounds more credible, it's left for the lectures to prove otherwise. |
