I told him this has no substance in the issue but we decided I have to present it. Atleast both of us are looking at this page

Cutehector:
Lol u think d Nigerian senate will go through all these procedure to honor buhari's wishes? Lmao!!! Infact dey will be happy and stamp it with immediate effect

Keep Buhari aside. we are talking under ideal conditions

I was arguing with colleagues. I said that the president of Nigeria can wake up any day and decide that he is tired of the presidency and tender his resignation to the Senate and nothing stops him from walking away. my colleagues stance is that the president cannot just tender his resignation and walk away that the Senate must summon him to verify the reasons he gave for his resignation. And of his explanations are not satisfactory to them then they can decide to reject his resignation letter. And that if he states his reasons for resignation is on health grounds that he has to be subjected to medical examination to ascertain if it indeed is true. We are still having a debated argument and both our parties agree the constitution experts in nairaland should deliberate on this for resolution.

somebody please help me with a fast bet9ja customer care contact. I have sent mails to them and no replies. I have called their number and they keep wasting my airtime without answering. I uploaded 4900 since 10bin the morning and uptill Now I haven't seen anything on my account. this has made me to lose out on the game which I wanted to play.

OP have you examined Your Own life to know if you're truly alive and senile to be making such claims? Some people are very sick in the head.

You ought to have asked him to elaborate more on what he meant, whether the brake failure was due to engine overheat or brake disk overheating. Now both systems are independent of each other. But in truth brake failure can occur due to overheat, When the brakes overheat to a great degree, the metal in the brake rotors or drums develops hard spots. These are known as hot spots. The hot spots resist the friction from the brake shoes and pads. Because the shoes or pads have nothing they can grasp, there's no friction. Consequently, braking power is lost.

what's CIBN

Romancelanders and their attitudes eh

This may not be the best time for me to write on this because of misinterpretations, but I can no longer resist the push. "Husband Scarcity" has become one of the challenges faced by many young girls today. If you go to prayer houses, majority of the intentions are prayer for a life partner. And this calls for concern.
Casting our minds back to the time of our mothers and grandmothers, was there really much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem? Or, maybe there were more men than women then, or there was an adequate corresponding numbers of both genders. I don't think so. Maybe then, the women had values and were prepared to build a home and not park into a built home.
Then once a young man comes of age and can at least feed himself and his wife, he goes out in search of a wife and the woman really appreciates him and helps him to build a future. What am I really trying to say? We created what we now see as "Husband Scarcity" for ourselves.
Today the reverse is the case. Ask an average girl to define her dream husband; you get things like "he has to be tall, handsome, fair, and rich, own a house at least, and be presentable" and then she adds "God fearing" in order not to sound so worldly. Then, check the number of girls around you and the number of men that meet that standard, and you will see the problem.
You hear girls say, "I cannot suffer in my father's house and then go and start suffering with a man." What a wonderful dream! What if from the beginning, you have everything you want and there is no suffering, and later in the marriage, the table turns around, then comes suffering? Will you run away? No one prays for suffering, but it is good to start small and end big, than start big and end small.
The problem is that the description majority of girls give of their ideal man is virtually the same. When 50 girls want the same kind of man and the man that fits what they want is just 1 man, and the man can only pick one. Then, what becomes of 49 others? They simply start lamenting of "Husband Scarcity".
Another irony of our time is that it is hard, due to the face of our economy to find a man who is of marriage age who possesses all those things these ladies want, legally (except those involved in Internet fraud); even the number of those in Internet fraud is not enough to match all those searching for already made husbands. If you look around, majority of the ladies of substance, of good value and virtue, who are ready to build a home with a man who has prospects, are married and not complaining of husband scarcity.
The easiest way to find a husband now, is to change your view of who a husband is. A husband is that man God made and then saw that it may be hard for him to really actualize his purpose for making him, without a help mate and then made the woman and gave to him, and he felt complete and fulfilled MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a mission of building the family of God here on earth.
For those who see marriage as a way out of poverty, it is a way into bondage. Women are HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS... DON'T CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS DESTINY. Where he is today, may only be a route to where God has destined him to be tomorrow.
Another truth is that YOU MAY BE THE ONLY FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS DESTINATION. Join in alleviating "husband scarcity". PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES. I am not saying that you should pick anyone that comes your way and talks of marriage, not all men are husband materials.
What I am saying is that you should stop setting your standard on material acquisitions or physical appearances. Look beyond the physical. WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT WHAT HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS WHAT HE IS MADE UP OF. And that which he is made of is, most times, not seen with the physical eyes, only its effects can be seen.
Marriage is a permanent thing. Whatever is seen is temporal and that which is not seen is permanent.
This post is worth sharing, let it go as far as it can.

Nigerians can ask questions Eh. If you ask us na who we go ask?

Pato23:
Nawa for you ooo.......
E na 0 points.....
But with C/O you can get B or C which is 4 or 3.......
Think again,which will help your CGPA....

I had this general misconception of the whole thing until I was chatting with a senior lecturer and he explained it to me in black and white. Let's say you did 10 courses and got f in one of them and in the end your CGPA for 100 level is 3.56.
You carry over the course to 200 level and probably got a B in it. When the time for your CGPA calculation reaches mind you I don't mean GPA, your whole credit unit for all the courses are added together. the credit load of that 100 level course you had an F in will still be added with a value of 0, plus your 200 level courses where you later got a B in it. you will get to see that the course is added twice with one having a value of 0 and the other having the value of whatever grade you got in rewriting the course, divided by the total credit load. the result is a reduction in cgpa than if the course was left with a zero.

Nobody is perfect, the fact that you had a carry over does not mean you aren't brilliant, just keep being focused.

When I was in school there was no grade I didn't have from A-F, but that didn't stop me from graduating with a smooth result.

Like i use to tell people, it is better you have C/O than a D or E, because it's another opportunity for you to do better.

Just try and be active in the course i.e ask questions when you should, and make constructive contribution in that class, the lecturer will be interested in you, trust me! I wish you the very best.

I will rather get an E than have a carryover.

Having a C/O is not the end of the world bro. What matters is that you pick up yourself and do better. Another advice, a high rate of carryovers are seen in courses people least expect to fail, so even if the course is so easy put in your best.

All is fair in war and love. I never look back for once to consider none of the things I did. Why live my life with regrets when I can focus on my life and move on?

tried to send PayPal using my GTB MasterCard and it was repeatedly declined. which cards are working now please.

instead of this silly policy, why not do some manipulations and increase customers monthly dollar limit by say 50 or 75%?
