Dibiachukwu: Nigerians in Nigeria are even too different and don't have similar dna. Igbos don't have any thing to do with any other nation. Except God's begotten nation . Igbo is made in gold. Yous are akamu. For the last time you ignoramuses. Nigeria is a country, not a nation. We don't have the same ancestry.You have spoken well. Bas.tard son of Ojukwu.

Education / Unilorin Unilag, Uniben Win Essay Competition by oladapoa1(m): 7:01am On Oct 04, 2013 |
A student of the University of Ilorin, Alao Ibrahim, emerged second runner-up in the 2013 edition of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) Essay Competition. The 300-level student came after first prize winner Wright Damilola of University of Lagos and first runner-up Uzoigwe Chimezie of University of Benin. The contest featured 107 undergraduates. A final seven contestants defended their essay on "Youth empowerment and development drive: An invaluable step to secure Nigeria's future prosperity" in September. The 300-level student and head of the Union of Campus Journalists earlier won an essay contest run by the online resource Naija Writers' Coach this April. Ibrahim said winning the contest was breaking new ground. "The information about the 2013 edition got to me in early June when I had to go sleepless for several nights to prepare for my second semester exams," he said. "Intuitively, I couldn't work on the essay until after the exams. So while my colleagues were returning home after a successful academic session, I waited behind to commence the 20- page work. I submitted my entry few days before the deadline in July. Then in August I was invited for the Essay Defence slated for 6th September and after the defence I was announced as the 2nd runner-up." Last year, another Unilorin student Muhammed Tosin was among winners of the annual contest. Zimbabwe: U.S.$21 Million source: m.allafrica.com/stories/201310030533.html/ |
Education / Unilorin Dons Break Major Biometric Machine Riddle by oladapoa1(m): 6:53am On Oct 04, 2013 |
A team of engineers at the University of Ilorin has produced a prototype biometric machine that is capable of eliminating a major deficiency encountered by imported machines. The team leader, Prof. Tunji Samuel Ibiyemi of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, said that with the use of local content, the researchers have been able to unravel the challenge of the inability of the imported biometric machine to adequately recognise physical features of black people. Prof. Ibiyemi disclosed that imported solutions to the challenges of impersonation, economic fraud, multiple voting, examination malpractices, election rigging, and security challenge do not work optimally among black people as they do among white people, adding that “what we have just produced one that works better for blacks.” The don, whose research effort was sponsored by the World Bank-assisted Science and Technology Education Post-Basic (Step-B) Project, explained that “this lack of local content in the making of the machines we use for vital national assignments perhaps explain why government efforts on projects like e-voting, national identity card scheme, security intelligence on criminal citizens had not been yielding enough fruits.” Prof. Ibiyemi led a team of three other researchers, Prof. J. Sadiku of Computer Science Department, Dr. S. A. Aliu and Dr. I. O. Avazi of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department, to study ‘Biometric Signal Processing for Personal Application and Forensic Application’. The Professor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering said, “An average Chinese recognises Chinese people more easily. Likewise, Americans know one another better. When I was in Britain, any black person could pick any of his friend’s identity card and go anywhere across the country unfettered. Those working at the airports will confirm to you that you need local people to identify one another. “Most imported machines don’t recognise tribal marks. These machines raise alarm when they see a masked face. But what we have produced can recognise tribal marks, faces that are masked and faces that are disguised using cosmetics.” Prof. Ibiyemi pointed out that the machines developed by his team are not only more cost- effective than their imported equivalents, they are also more functionally efficient. He said, “For instance, after our proposal was approved for funding and we were experiencing delays in accessing the money, we funded the development of a locally made Iris Scanner at N60, 000. But when we eventually got money to buy this equipment, we got it for N400, 000 (that is 2,500 US dollars). And the former produces sharper and clearer images than the latter.” He explained further, “Besides this, we used machines (computers) to recognise the human face, human iris, finger prints, toe prints and sole prints. We worked on speaker and speech recognition, signature verification and hand writing verification. “What we found is amazing. For example, using any of these parameters, we can get different patterns of iris, fingerprints, toeprints, soleprints that differentiate the 14 billion people in the world. No two persons have the same pattern for any of these parameters. In fact, the left iris pattern for an individual is different from the right side for the same individual. Similarly, the thumb print is different from the index fingerprint for each person and so on. “No website is available within Africa for biometric data on black people. Foreign data are populated by white people. We needed black people’s data to work with, so we started our own website-www.unilorin.edu.ng/step-b/ biometrics. “We collected over one million fingerprints, 600,000 toeprints, 200 soleprints, and 374 latent fingerprints. The website is hosted in Italy. We also went to the home of lepers and took 200 soleprints. When we brought them to the laboratory, we discovered that it is easier to recognise people through their soleprints than through their fingerprints. “Our fingerprint equipment will identify each individual. We can detect multiple voting. There are five groupings of finger prints. Using one million samples, we compared our result with US- based Federal Bureau of Intelligence (FBI) result,” he said. sources: tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/22999-unilorin-dons-break-major-biometric-machine-riddle.html |

Politics / PHCN Workers Protest In Akure, Demand For Payment Of Entitlements by oladapoa1(m): 3:12pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
Members of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), Ondo State chapter, today staged a peaceful protest to express their grievances over the failure of the federal government to pay their entitlements before handing over the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to private investors. The workers who locked the gate of the PHCN district Headquarters in Akure warned private investors not to enter into any agreement with the federal government until their outstanding entitlements were paid. Carrying placards with various inscriptions, the PHCN staff faulted the claim made by the federal government that their entitlements have been paid, saying the claim was a propaganda employed by government to deceive members of the public. They also complained about the non-payment of gratuities to some of their colleagues who retired in 2011. Speaking on behalf of the protesters, the Chairman of Akure chapter of the Union, Mr. Clement Daudu and the Vice President, Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies, Mr. Neke Nwanchukwu said the Union members will not resume work until their entitlements were paid to them. Mr. Nwanchukwu said, “We are not against privatization of PHCN, but we want the federal government to pay our entitlements. “We are not going to resume work until our entitlements are paid. We are warning the investors to steer clear the agreement for now because if they go ahead, they are going to pay dearly for it”. source: dailypost.com.ng/2013/09/30/phcn-workers-protest-in-akure-demand-for-payment-of-entitlements/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=phcn-workers-protest-in-akure-demand-for-payment-of-entitlements |
