Is Mathematics A Compulsory Requirement To Be Commissioned Into The Military?
I ask this question because Buhari's result have been released to the public and in the result he had an F9 in Mathematics.
Military Officers are meant to be knowledgeable in quantification of military hardwares and other items. For example, a colonel should know the difference between 4 armoured tanks and 1 fighter jet in terms of weight difference, volume difference, etc. The knowledge of such difference will enable the colonel plan the logistics in the transport of such hardwares from one point to another.
Also mathematical terms such a Bearing, Longitude and Lattitude, Projectiles, Trigonometry, Calculus, Matrices, Lagrange Multiplier, Statistics, etc. are common terminologies used in the military. Someone with an F9 in mathematics will definitely not be able to use such mathematical terminologies with dexterity during military warfare.
So I wonder why someone with an F9 in mathematics should be commissioned into the Military.
Perhaps that isn't Buhari's Result after all. I say this because that result appears to be fake and Buhari hasn't made any statement accepting the result as published by the Principal of his almamater. I hereby call on Buhari to either accept or reject the result as published. If he rejects it, he should do us a favour and show us his certificate (#BuhariShowYourCertificate). But If he accepts it, it means our Military actually enlisted Buhari despite failing Mathematics. If they did, was it the right thing to do?
Lets discuss

I don't understand, is the FG actually BOASTING of letting crooks who have been stealing $2bn ANNUALLY to go free? Is this what Reno Omokri is saying, that criminal prosecution of the corrupt is actually a bad thing?
Is the Government not able to multi-task...close loopholes while bringing those crooks to justice?

FreeGlobe:
It has come to my notice that APC may be manipulating "likes" on nairaland to favor its agents posts on nairaland.
APC has a history of perpetrating internet fraud. First was the hacking of nairaland after their candidate lost the Ekiti poll.
Then the cloning of PVCs, the use of spam accounts to over bloat Buharis followers on Twitter and now the programming of bots to manipulate the AIT online poll to favor its candidate Buhari.
I urge non partisan nairalanders not to be swayed by the number of likes on posts by APC agents. The "likes" have been programmed.
I wonder why APC is so interested in online campaign when a larger population of Nigerians are not online. Why does APC keep chasing shadows?

AlfaSeltzer:
Stop. First GEJ didn't receive any hit from that ip address. Second, your mumbo jumbo about opera is just pure nonsense. ip describes a particular computer or modem while a web browser is just a software to browse the web. There is no conspiracy is a particular ip is using a particular web browser.

LoveDecay:
So, how did you come about this record. Like i said the IP 82.145.221.163 belong to Opera mini browser. AIT should have the insight, from their site statistics. They should have known most Nigerians use the mobile phone to search and share information on the web, and in Nigeria Opera mini is quite popular.

This info is not privileged info everyone knows this. And, they should have expected this to happen. Which is why they could have used cookies, facebook , google, OPENID or twitter for authentication/permission before voting.

It is very sad that some Haters don't see anything good about this Govt. Truly when the eyes are blind, you don't see the light where it shines.
Let me give u a single KPI, out of many to show the effort of this Govt: the euro and other major currencies have fallen freely compared to d US dollar, While naira though has fallen but it's weathering the storm. Look at the textile industry and Agriculture, our export index has increased significantly over the last 3 yrs.
Please be objective, else you persimists will only move from fry pan to fire.

Greetings to y'all family section members and a special thanks to all my followers cos I know you did follow me so you'll be updated with my sad story. Now here it is.

I'm from a broken home, my dad left us when I was a yr old. From what I gathered things got tough and he couldn't man up to face the hard times so he abandoned us to God knows where due to pride cos have found out he's a very proud man.

My mum that he forced to become a full time housewife decided to pick take up teaching job to cater to our needs, my mum was very mean during our growing up days(don't know if it was due to anger from my dad abandoning us for her), now my dad is back claiming he's sorry for leaving us but from the look of things he's in dire need of help (him and his other family are living in poverty) so I personally I'm paying deaf ear to his cries.

Now my predicament is this. Since after graduation have had two serious affairs that should have led to marriage I was even engaged in one but the men I meet and mostly their families often frown at a girl from a separated home irrespective of her good character reason being that she'll always toe the path of her parent and this has made me hate the family I was born into, sometimes I feel like taking my own life.

So dear Family have made up my mind to deny my dad cos he's the one that put me in this mess I will tell the next man in my life that he's dead cos to me he's good as dead, his presence in my life is causing me tears daily.

To y'all please all I need is an advice!!! To those that do jump on post before putting your leg in one's shoe feel free to bash me.

Lastly, advice to those searching, study your partner before saying "I do" don't depend on arranged marriage cos my parent own was a product of such that's why it was difficult for them to accommodate and understand each others flaws thereby leading to my dad abandoning us.

Love is not always enough so marry your friend so you too can still be together even when hard times set in.

Thanks in anticipation for reading!

tonytony208:
what is even the problem with you apc members? If ait airs a program, you will call it bias. If nta airs, you will call it bias. I heard that BON organized a public debate the other day, but apc failed to show up. If anything is against apc, then it must be biased. What kind of confused and knotted mentality is this for crying out loud?!

GEJ till a goat gives birth to a ram

Curlieweed:
Logically, if your premise is faulty, what does that say about your conclusion?

I have a lot of respect for Soludo but he should have written this as an economist not as a frustrated politician.

smsdigito:
And me that am talking who told you am GEJ's brother or am enemy of Soludo?
Let me tell you why, some times the pedigree of the messenger affects the quality of the message or the integrity of the message passed.
Let me give an instance, assuming somebody like shekau (the Boko Haram leader) brings you a message one day that he has changed his mind about violence in Nigeria and has repented of his sins so civilians should enter sambisa forest to go and recover the chibok girls and other kidnapped citizens by themselves and promises that they wont be hurt, will you welcome it?
If you wont welcome it, what are your reasons?

Look, what you fail to understand in this country is that very few people come out to say their mind on such issues without being bias. Why is it that some people working with any govt in this country never see anything wrong about what the govt is doing, yet those who are not with the govt always dont see anything good about what the govt is doing? ask yourself this question.
If you read through soludos's memo, you will discover he never saw even one thing good about what this admin has done. Is that possible? these are simple indices that he is bias in his criticism.
He lost elections in PDP twice and he was aggrieved that GEJ didnt support him and quickly he switched camp to atiku, and lost along with atiku. He is still disgruntled, who doesnt know that? read through okojo-iweala's response and stop pretending you dont know about all govt is doing to develop the economy and the country as a whole.

Curlieweed:
So, it doesn't bother you that Charles Soludo used 2011 stats to judge GEJ in 2015? This is the reason why I avoid engaging you guys seriously. I just mock and laugh.

smsdigito:
abeg shut up, if soludo didnt jump from nowhere to display ignorance forgetting his incompetence he demonstrated which almost sank our banks and the economy by spewing loads of dust, the govt wouldnt have remembered him even after inheriting all the troubles and mess from him which they have being cleaning up.
What you are talking about is just to show your hatred for GEJ and any thing that has to do with him. Carry on, but there will be no gain in all such.

EMANY01:
Haters will never come here.They will ignore this news and scream change.

organic973:
It's about our nigerian government since the inception nigerian. It dealt very well the military and civilian government.
One funny thing is that the program is a replay of 26th may 2014.

I wish those that are supporting GMB would have watched it instead of making noise online with blindfolded ideas.

Curlieweed:
You clearly didn't read Paul Nwabuikwu's detailed rebuttal of Soludo's unfortunate hubris induced diatribe.

However, you usually see more dramatic increases in percentage GDP when you're starting from a lower base than when you have a higher base.

If you have a GDP of $100 Billion and it increases to $110 Billion, that will be a 10% growth because of the lower base. On the other hand, with a GDP of $500 Billion, you will need to add $50 Billion to achieve the same 10% growth. That's the reason why GEJ's achievement in keeping growth within the 6% rate throughout his tenure is a big deal.

nwafuluozoh:
Don't get me wrong. Positive Criticism should be well timed and backed up with solutions. Attacking the FG's policies NOW while undermining its achievements smirks of the antics of a bitter person working with/for the opposition.
Note: Not every criticism/advice should be made public.

nwafuluozoh:
Soludo is just a bitter man. He's yet to get over his inability to be the Governor of Anambra state. So he pitched his tent with the Aggressive Peoples' Coven.

mrmetoo1:
Lets be honest, Mr Aye Dee's delivery was better than Kayode's because of his "accent" and so on. In content however, Mr Aye Dee just spewed the same PDP talking points. When he was clearly losing he used the Pro-APC card, I'm sure he couldn't wait to use that. Kayode finished him when he said GEJ was steering the country in the right direction. Then generally I wasn't satisfied with the debate because I felt like some topics were not really discussed properly I guess because of time.

For this debate, GEJ guys are going to say AyeDee won, GMB guys will say Kayode so this debate didn't really achieve much in terms of swaying anyone's opinion.
