I disagree... He should be interviewed, further trained, and given a high paying job!!!... A great hacker is an asset, not necessarily a criminal liability.

Besides, he neither stole nor defrauded anyone... Not every outlaw is a criminal!!!

A serious nation will tap into such genius, and use them to further improve the nation... Too many untapped resources in this nation!!!

While at it... The systems and IT supervisor of the bank should be sacked immediately!!!
That guy hacked nothing joor. All the info he got are semi public. Any govt organisation could have easily given out such info in their thrash can.
The boy is seeking cheap attention. He has another goal on mind. Stupid boy

Car TalkRe: Nisan Partfinder Cranking Can't Start by obstead200(m): 7:19am On Sep 01, 2020
Evolution12:
1-Timing chain slack, do an adjustment,while someone is trying to start it simultaneously. 2-Check all pulleys.
this is highly possible too, especially for vehicles that use a distributor system to power and fire the spark plugs, rather than the more recent coil system.

The misfiring plugs might have caused the timing chain not to be properly aligned. This affects the ability of the distributor to supply power to all the lead wires of the plugs. Adjusting the distributor and the timing belt should take care of the problem

If I wasn't there when these two cars failed to start, I wouldn't even write it.
The mechanic was a friend and called me to share his experience.
We bought new plugs, we installed new coils, nothing worked.
His rewire tried all he knew, nothing worked.
I observed the ECU light wasn't even coming on when the ignition was turned on.
I plugged in my small Bluetooth scanner and couldn't communicate with the ECU.
That was when he accepted to try another ECU.
On Monday, ECU was installed and car started at the first attempt.

The other car, an fx35 had same issue on the same day but in another location.
The owner is a friend and called me to relay his predicament. He was worried that his mechanic wanted to change his ECU. I asked him what they had done so far (they had done the same things we did on the Merc).
I told him to change the ECU. Same outcome. Car started at the first attempt.
I am not saying this is the op's case but it points to that.
The issue on Blboth cars started as misfires.
Plugs were changed and nozzles serviced.
Both cars refused to start.
The two mechanics thought village people were after them. cheesy
yeah, ECU is a likely culprit if he has checked out the entire fuel and air system.
But I will still recommend a scan first. It might reveal that the crank sensor or the start sensor is bad. They are cheaper to change, in comparison to the brain box

May I inform you that there are countries in Africa that are better than Nigeria.

Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia, Rwanda, Etc are way better than the over hyped and empty Proud Nigeria.
u did not understand the gist. We are not talking about economic development or assets or good governance here. We are talking about the vibrancy, the uniqueness, the swag, the resilience, the ambition, the individual enterprise, the happy-go-lucky, the hustling spirit of the Nigerian people.
Take it or leave it, Nigerians ensure Africa remains on the news. Nigeria, is the spirit of Africa.
TravelRe: Nigerian Mentality About Those Living Abroad by obstead200(m): 2:06pm On Aug 23, 2020
KenModi:
The bolded part of your statement makes it crystal clear. It was a collective effort.

Now I would tell you why I would not be doing my part to develop my country called Nigeria. The reason is because we are talking about the following group of people...

1. A people who do not hesitate to steal when they are given access to public funds.

2. A people who when someone declares his intention to run for office all they care to ask is about his political party, ethnicity/tribe or what part of the country he is from, what religion he professes, how much he is ready to drop to settle everyone, who his/her political godfathers are, how connected is he/her politically, e.t.c. No questions asked bout credibility, integrity, experience and previous developmental and progressive achievements.

3. A people who sell their votes to the highest bidder for bags of rice, groundnut oil and/or 1-2k Naira.

4. A people who keep voting for the same political parties and politicians that have ruined their lives for the past 20 years.

5. A people whose political elites jump from one party to the other with no manifesto or political philosophy whatsoever, yet they see nothing wrong in it and they keep voting them in power when it is obvious they are not after their development.

6. A people who keep singing the praises of their oppressors.

7. A people who are religiously blind so much so that even the failures of religion in the face of the current Covid 19 epidemic could not liberate themselves from the shackles of conmen masquerading as pastors and religious men.

8. A people who when you call them to protest for their own development would not only fail to come out but would tag you a vagabond and someone desperate for power.

Tell me are the aforementioned people ready or willing to make the sacrifice and work hard to develop their country? Well you already have your answer.

In conclusion, I have said it times without number, people like Sowore are just wasting their time, fighting for a people not worth fighting for. If he is killed today by the govt in power, he would only trend for a day or two with the hastag “ripsowore” and some of the people who he was fighting for would even use his name to market their goods and services online.

Nigeria is dead and buried. The only way the people in the land currently called Nigeria would prosper and develop is if new nations spring up and they take control their resources and develop themselves, while having at the back of their minds that they are strictly on their own, so it is now or never.
Yes we agree. Nigeria is about everything u mentioned......and even worse!!
But let me tell u something. You are still a Nigerian. Nothing can change it, even when u become a citizen in that abroad. Do u know why? Because it takes only one radical policy, from a government that sees things radically and differently to send u packing right back to Nigeria, regardless of Ur immigration or residency status in that abroad.
Don't say it is impossible. In life, everything is possible. So don't talk as if u are a different breed from other Nigerians. I am sure that while u were still here, u probably was guilty of some of the things u just mentioned

My dear, I hope all you wrote is true and I genuinely feel bad for you. What the guy wrote about seeking God is true and I also understand that due to your situation, you feel abandoned and alone, but it doesn't negate the fact that what he said is true.

Since this your baby daddy denied the child, have you reported to the police? You can also contact human rights/welfare agency to take up the case with him cos he doesn't have a right to deny his child's paternity. Don't sit down and be looking, contact the nearest police station and explain your situation, they will drag the guy to welfare and force him to pay for the child's upkeep, after all, you didn't impregnate yourself. huh
very correct advice.
the baby daddy also faces a criminal charge for statutory rape (having sex with a minor since she was just 14 years then). it will be easy to blackmail him into submission. But she shud never approach the man alone. let her get a good human rights activist to help her arm-twist the man.
Giving the child up for an (illegal) adoption can be potentially bad.

BafanaBafana:
Sorry to say but most Christians up not are worse than ipobs, you can not sit down to an intellectual conversation with them because they have a terrible victim mentality. Now what Maylafiya said is the same thing you hear from them everyday. "Buhari is Boko Haram sponsor, they want to islamize Nigeria, it is all part of their plans, the lecturer failed me because I'm a Christian" (meanwhile your fellow Christian course mate is on first class) etc. That is how they gather themselves and lie, believe the lies and then go home happily.
I remember a guy dropped me from his bike one day because I countered his claims with facts. He was talking about how all southwest governors were Muslims. How Tinubu is removing Ambode because he is a Christian, how Kemi Adeosun was removed because she is a Christian. When I presented him with facts he got so angry that I am a Judas and told me to alight from his Keke.

Now listen to Maylafiya. He claimed to have gotten Intel from a repentant Boko Haram. Possibly somebody told him that someone said someone else said. My guess is that someone told him all these sweet stories just to beg money from him. He had to read out his credentials, he has PhD, he is a banker, he has been to America, they have their intelligence network (thunder) so that he will sound credible. Just in case he is not taken seriously, he had to include the south and bring talk of a civil war. Total bullshit.
The man is an agent of destabilization, probably sponsored by some foreign agents. We have a lot of such people on pulpits today.
He is lucky that we have a weak president with no balls. But what he did must surely come back to hunt him.
I am Igbo. I am a Christian. But I agree entirely with u. We know that Boko haram has sponsorship among the northern elites. But I don't believe sitting governor can be one of the sponsors, not to mention a key commander. That is plain bull shit.

In my opinion, bokoharam sponsors are mainly the top army hierarchy, and some northern too business men, I dare say, who belong to the opposition and hence are not receiving direct government patronage.

I promised to create this thread because I noticed that a lot of nairalanders have wrong perceptions of what workers in "core civil service" really earn monthly.

Civil servants vs Public servants

According to the then Head of Service of the Federation in 2018, Ms Winifred Oyo-Ita.....

Oyo-Ita, who is a member of the minimum wage committee constituted by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017, said there is ongoing deliberation on the pay disparity between the public and civil servants.

“There is a difference between civil service and public service, civil service is a subset of public service, so you find that in the enlarged public service we have parastatals that are earning fantastic sum of money and we have military and para-military earning money that cannot be compared to that of the civil servants.

“This core group of civil servants are just about 80,000 and they earn peanuts. A driver in the civil service earn as low as N18,000 to N20,000 a month.

“You have a director who has been in the Service for over 30 years, due for retirement is having a monthly take home of about N300,000, whereas that is the starting point of some graduates in some parastatals.

“In some parastatals, fresh graduates are starting on N250,000 – N300,000 and you want the director to go and supervise such agencies.

“All the issues of pay disparity will be addressed in the Presidential National Minimum Wage committee.”

https://thewhistler.ng/fg-to-address-pay-disparity-between-civil-and-public-servants-oyo-ita/amp/

Sadly, these issues were not addressed.

https://theeagleonline.com.ng/remedy-huge-salary-disparity-in-core-civil-service-labour-urges-fg-2/

Categories of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs)

BY STATUTORY FUNCTIONS
a. Ministries/Core civil service: The Ministries play a supervisory role to the parastatals. The Ministries are headed by Ministers. The head of service is the most senior civil servant.
b. Parastatals (agencies and departments): usually under a Federal Ministry or under the office of the SGF i.e Presidency.
They have more precise functions according to the Acts that created them. These are headed by DGs, EVC (as with NCC), Director (as with DPR), CFI (as with NAICOM), GMD (as with NNPC), ES (as with PEF, TETFUND) CEO (as with NEPC, NIDCOM), etc

BY SALARY STRUCTURE
a. Harmonised salary structure funded by National Treasury: These includes all Ministries and most parastatals (agencies/departments/institutes etc) whose annual budget including salaries and allowances are funded from the National Treasury. You will always find their budget estimates in the annual national budget.

MDAs in this category uses salary structures like;

CONTISS
CONUASS - for academic staff of universities
CONPSS - for core civil service/ministries. Also the poorest
CONPASS - for paramilitary agencies
CONAFSS - for armed forces
CONMESS - for medical doctors
CONHESS - for health workers
CONTOPSAL -for top officials like NASS Clerk, SAs to the President, NSA etc
CONTEDISS
CONRAISS - for research agencies/institutes
CONPOSS - for police
CONPCASS - for polytechnics and CoE
CONICSS - for intelligence community i.e DSS
etc E many gan ooooo. grin

b. Special Salary Structure funded by National Treasury: These group enjoy a special salary structure (most times 4-10 times higher) than the CONPSS (the poorest salary structure). However, they are funded from the National Treasury and are included in the national budget. e.g NEITI, NARSDA, BPE, DMO, BPP, EFCC, NIGCOMSAT, ICRC, SEC, DPR etc.

c. Self-funded agencies: Agencies under this category are revenue generating agencies. They fund themselves and therefore determine their own salary structures. NNPC, CBN, NPA, NIMASA, FAAN, NAMA, BOI, FMBN, NCC, PHCN, FIRS etc fall under this category.

BY UNOFFICIAL CATEGORISATION
On the street, among lawmakers during unofficial discussions and among job seekers, we have;

a. GRADE A/JUICY AGENCIES: Agencies that oay 200k and above monthly. Also revenue generating agencies fall into this category. For the lawmakers, these agencies have the capacity to give out mouth watering contracts. NCC, DPR, NDIC, NIMASA, PPPRA, PEF, etc

b. GRADE B AGENCIES: Agencies that pay between 80k -150k but below 200k. NACA, NHIS, NLN, most paramilitary agencies, FAAN, NABDA, NAIC etc. Most agencies fall under this category.

b. GRADE C: Agencies that pay below 80k. All ministries are also included here with the exception of Petroleum Resources, Justice and one other I cannot immediately remember. NIPOST, NIMC, and few other parastatals fall under this category.

Having said that, a level 08 officer (BSc holder) in the core civil service (Ministries and grade C agencies using the CONPSS) earn below 60k monthly as net pay. Level 09 (MSc holders at entry level) earns below 70k/monthly and PhD holders at entry level (level 10) earns below 80k monthly.

An BSc entry level staff at DPR or PPPRA (SS6 is what they call level cool will earn more monthly than a senior lecturer with over 5 years post PhD teaching experience in a federal university. If ASUU finally joins IPPIS, a Professor will earn less than an entry level BSc holder at NLNG, PPPRA or DPR.

Attached are July 2020 payslips of some civil servants in a federal agency but using CONPSS (same as the Ministries).

PS: I won't entertain any questions. I don't have any connections. I don't sell job slots. I work in a grade B and seeking to move to a grade A. No PMs please. Thank you

@allthingsgood. I promised to quote you.
where is the attachment? Or better still, show us the salary structure table of CONPSS.

A hardworking female entrepreneur lost her Millions worth of Investments to flood in Nibo, Anambra, According to 001.ng, all the efforts to get the state government for intervention has allegedly hit the wall too.

A blazing female entrepreneur who lost her means of livelihood to flood in Nibo Awka Anambra state. Her name is Cassandra Oma ndulue, the founder of Ndulue Farms and Fisheries—a Catfish farm which prior to the flood disaster was the biggest fish farm around Awka and its environs.

The farm held a capacity of between 90,000-120,000 catfishes in each cycle of production with over fifteen employees. But unfortunately, the farm was lost to flood, and an investment of over fifty million naira was lost in one day after a heavy downpour.

According to statistics, Anambra state has the highest demand for catfish in all of the southeast, considering that there are over 400 hotels and thousands of restaurants and bars whose major, most sought after delicacy is point and kill (catfish) with the capital city Awka Housing over 50% of them.

Little wonder why the demand for catfish in Anambra is always exceedingly high. But unfortunately, there are just very few functional fish farms within the state and Oma exploring the in demand opportunity.. As a matter of fact, 90% of fishes consumed in Anambra state are bought from towns like Lagos, Ijebu Ode, Eriwe, Ikorodu, Ibadan and even far Illorin.

On Mondays and Thursdays of every week, over a hundred tonnes of catfish are brought in from the west to different towns in Anambra state.

Aside from the entrepreneur who lost her means of livelihood to flood, Over fifteen employees of the fish farm in Nibo devastated by flood are now out of job.

I thought CBN cancelled the form M for maize importation.

Abi have they reversed themselves on that? It should be good news ooo, cos I am fucking scared right now. A potential feed scarcity will hit me hard. I have invested a lot on growing pullets, I can't even easily sell them off as POL because dem never reach. Maize price should just behave itself

Soldiers are now an endangered species in this country.

Soldiers reading this, always remember that the only difference between you and us is that Kalashnikov you are holding, without it, just behave yourself.
u are so correct.

I find it hard to feel pity for military and paramilitary officers that die violently. U only need to encounter them and u will bear witness to how high-handed and overbearing they could be in dealing with civilians. Just because they are in uniform, they pick offence and start assaulting a civilian, even when there was absolutely no basis to take offence.

In this regard, the police and civil defence is even slightly better. They have more restraint in dealing with civilians.
But the military is simply............terrible people
