When I hear some idiots calling a people ancestral land no man's land, I laugh. God owns the land followed by the constituted authority be it government or the monarchy system. Government are like demons they do not forget though it may tarry
Don't build on government land. You may weep later if nothing to fall back on

abtywo: To the students the two courses are good but it is better to learn now and make your choice earlier to avoid the mistake I and many other students have made because it is said that you learn from the mistake of others for you may not live long to do all the mistakes yourself. Now let’s digest the differences. FACULTY/SCHOOL Medical Laboratory Science is a Medical Science course studied in university or College of Health Sciences only. In the university, it is studied in the College of Medicine under the Faculty of Health Sciences. Medical Laboratory Assistant and Technicians are trained in the College of Health technology while Medical Laboratory Scientist are trained in the universities. NOTE: None of the Medical Laboratory Science professionals are trained in the Polytechnics as many Polytechnic graduates and students of Science Laboratory Technology claim to belong to the Medical Laboratory Science Profession as one can only mistake them to be the same if one does not belong to medical/ health profession or has not been admitted to study any of the course. Whereas, Science Laboratory Technology is studied in the faculty of Biological or Natural Science in the universities and under the school of science in the polytechnics, graduates of Science Laboratory Technology from the polytechnic are called Technician while their counter part from the universities are called Laboratory Technologist.(NOTE No medical here) COURSES OFFERED AND DURATION The courses offered by medical laboratory science students include Medical Biochemistry, Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Haematology, Pharmacology,forensic analysis, Embalment techniques, Clinical pathology, Biostatistics, virology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology public Health and Epidemiology etc. The duration of study for medical laboratory Assistant and Technicians are 2 and 3years respectively, hence the duration of study for medical laboratory scientist is 5 years in the university leading to the award of Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science (BMLS) degree plus 1 year internship programme and 1 year NYSC making a total of seven years (7) training. While the course offered by students of Science Laboratory Technology are pure and applied Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics, Electronics, Photography, Plants and animal taxonomy etc. The duration of study in the polytechnic is 2 years National Diploma and 2 years leading to the award of Higher National Diploma (HND), while those in the university is 4 years leading to the award of B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) degree plus 1 year National Service (NYSC) making a total of 5 years training. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS The entry requirement for candidates seeking to study medical Laboratory Science in the universities are good cut off mark from Unified Tertiary matriculation examination and Post-UTME plus 5 credits pass in WAEC, SSCE or NECO,GCE ordinary level obtained at not more than 2 sittings from English language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Also holders of HND/ BSc in relevant courses are offered admission through direct entry to 200 level. Whereas, the admission requirement for students of science Laboratory Technology are credit pass from English language and Mathematics and three other credit pass from other science subject from either Physics, Biology, Agric/ Health Sciences, Chemistry, Technical drawing, Metal or Wood work, Basic electricity, Further Mathematics and fine Art obtained in not more than 2 sittings from WAEC, SSCE, NECO, GCE O level in addition to getting the required mark from Unified Tertiary matriculation examination and Post-UTME. Also candidates with OND/HND in relevant discipline are given direct entry admission to the universities. COUNCIL/REGULATORY BODY The council that regulate medical Laboratory practice in Nigeria is called Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) is a Federal government statutory regulatory agency established by the ACT 11 of 2003 as a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Health.It broadly charged the council with the responsibilities of regulating Medical Laboratory Services, through registration and licensing of Medical laboratories as well as practitioners, mandatory inspection, monitoring for quality improvement, accreditation monitoring and evaluation as well as certification of laboratory test kits and reagents. The Act further empowers the council to regulate the training of Medical Laboratory Scientists, Technicians and Assistants as well as registration, regulation, Licensing and Accreditation of Medical Laboratories in public and private health institution. It has the national secretariat in Abuja and the Registrar/Chief Executive is Professor Anthony Emeribe. While the council that regulates Science Laboratory Technology practice in Nigeria is known as The Nigeria Institute of Science Laboratory Technology (NISLT) was established by Act 12 of 2003 of the National Assembly and made a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology.The core mandate of the Institute is to “Advance Science Laboratory Technology profession”. The institute is to ensure through its registered members effective and efficient management and administration of institutional and industrial laboratory in Nigeria. The institute is also required to conduct research in all areas of science and technology. The vision is to cause rapid technological development of the nation through science laboratory technology and also to sustain science and technology delivery through efficient, productive and ethical science laboratory practice in institutional, research and private laboratories throughout the country. The institute have a Multi Purpose Science Laboratory (MSL) at its secretariat in Ibadan, Oyo state that is equipped to provide an efficient laboratory services for the general public, Scientist, researchers, industries, farmers, exporters and student and hence assisting in science practical instructions and training of both secondary and tertiary institution and serve as a centre for training and retraining of technologists in some special area of science and technology. SPECIALIZATION Medical Laboratory Science has both undergraduate and graduate specialty in the following disciplines a. Medical Microbiology and Parasitology B.Virology and Mycology C.Public Health and Epidemiology D.Histopathology and Cytopathology E.Chemical pathology or Clinical chemistry F.Haematology and Blood group G.Serology H.Immunology etc. Whereas Science Laboratory Technology have the following specialties 1. Applied Biology and Microbiology 2. Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry 3. Physics and Electronics JOB DESCRIPTION/OPPORTUNITIES Graduates of Medical Laboratory Science can take up job in teaching and specialist hospital, Primary health centres, research and private health centres, private establishments and quality control or reference laboratories, public health laboratories, forensic and law enforcement laboratories. Their graduates can be self employed by establishing their own diagnostic/research laboratories. While graduates of Science Laboratory Technology can work in environmental health institution where they may involve in food analysis to protect public health or water industry where they can be involved in water analysis. They can work in secondary school and tertiary institution as science teachers or help in biology or chemistry laboratories as technologist. They can also establish research laboratories for food and water analysis for public health protection. Having pinpointed the major different between the two. This will help students and parents or guardian in making career. Meanwhile, this is very important area in this book because if the universal health coverage or vision 202020 should be attained, the health sector and Science and Technology should be diversified and division of labour should be properly encouraged. This means that it will be barbaric and misplacement of professional priority for some employer of labour especially in the Ministry of Health to advertise for Medical Laboratory job and put qualification as a laboratory technologist or the issue of posting of Corps members who read Microbiology, Science Laboratory Technology and Biochemistry for service (NYSC) or industrial training in the clinical laboratory or the self acclamation of graduates of the three discipline mentioned above as Medical laboratory Scientist is not only seen as professional impersonation but sabotage.
Wow! What av been searching for my Niece. Gr8 one OP!
Luyeanka: Many of us got acquainted with the concept of blood money from Nigerian movies and some of us have seen it in real life. In the traditional Yoruba society, blood money tales are very common from time immemorial but how did blood money or money ritual come into being? Why do people who do it die young? Is it a myth? Why does the money go away when the recipient dies? When is it blood money? When is it money rituals? So many questions… In 2013, I was in Modakeke in Osun State. I related well with the locals—many of whom are hardworking, resilient and easy-going. They mind their own businesses. The average Modakeke person, although religious in modern terms, has deep roots in traditional religion. In the town, I noticed some lived in affluence; some in poverty. I saw old men with their wives sitting in front of their mud houses and enjoying the breeze and quiet. Food is cheap, air is clean. No generators to disturb your life. Life is quite easy and peaceful. A lot of the people are contented. A little stereotype though, if you see 20 cars in the town, 16 will be Volvo, 2 will be Benz 190 and the remaining 2 for Mazda or Toyota. However, I cannot but notice the flamboyant lifestyles of a certain group of people—the students. Some used exotic cars with customized number plates, driving in and around town in convoy, some lived in hotels…I was curious so I asked a local and a friend of mine. “it’s blood money” he said. I began to quiz him. I asked why and how did blood money come about. He explained that in the ancient community of the Yorubas, it was common for the locals to seek answers into the future of their unborn or new born child. The deities did not disappoint. They will reveal a bright future for some and a bleak future (beyond natural causes) of agonizing poverty for some. If the latter was the case, the elders in the family will do a money ritual on behalf of the child and it will be kept a secret unto their graves. As the child grows, anything he touches turns to gold and because the society was less selfish, he (usually the first born son of the house) would raise others in the family and community. But as time passed, the love of material things grew, patience waned and people began to seek things beyond the ordinary—the birth of blood money. The former did not require human sacrifice; the recipient is ignorant of the money ritual was done because the secrets will die with the elders in the family. The latter requires human sacrifices; causing pain and death to innocent people. This is one of the reasons they don’t live long. It is a deadly shortcut. He said that’s why I would never see a traditional Yoruba priest do blood money for himself or his family. There is a man in a certain state who has over 30 houses and many children. This man wears rags, he lives in room in one of those houses and uses a 21” TV. He doesn’t have a car. He is nearly a mad man. Back to the local’s narrative, he said blood money feeds on greed, impatience, lust and an inordinate desire to make it. He said they have to die young because they have moved the future to the present. They have tweaked the balance of life. He concluded. Although the above is just a man’s account, I find it interesting and educative—at least a background knowledge needed to study such in the future.

Feelings and informations flying around is that PMB is going back and I begin to wonder why this old man was brought in the first place. His handlers didn't do well here. I don't see him as someone fit now. Baba should still go and rest while issues are addressed. We are getting confused the more or what do you think?
I have Odogwu(d arrogant Igbo man), Gbogbolowo(all trade), hot yam(always talking in a rush), Abobaku(d stubborn proud bricklayer), Back side(lousy busy bodied woman), MOG(d rogue pretending to be Pastor) but Ironically wev overhead them call me Baba OlowO (bcis I don't mix much with them much, always in my lane)
dheespectre: Imagine a world where you can power your air conditioner, fridge,microwave, pumping and washing machine, iron, hotplate,kettle etc without fear of paying too much electricity bill, a world where you cut down your electricity tariff and fuel consumption by 50% with a device called Power beta. Knowledge is power and whoever has Power Beta has a knowledge of how to reduce fuel consumption, prepaid meter card consumption and inverter battery consumption by 35% and 50%. Power beta is designed to reduce energy consumption of your home appliances ( Compressors,element and motor powered) by 35% and 50%. 50% for element appliances and 35% for appliances that uses compressor or motor. Power Beta enable you power all appliances that has compressor, element or motor from 1000 watts to 3000watts or 1horse power to 2.5 horse power appliances (Air conditioner, pumping machine,washing machine,refridgerator, deep freezer,hair dryer, pressing iron, electric kettle, hotplate ,pop corn machine, shawarma machine, microwave, electric sewing machine etc) with any Generator,inverter or prepaid meter(even i pass my neighbour 650va gen) safely. How to use: After starting your generator or inverter, plug the power Beta to your wall socket then plug your appliances(Air conditioner, pumping machine,refridgerator, deep freezer,hair dryer, pressing iron, electric kettle, hotplate etc) to the power beta.

emmyid: This is a branch of First Bank Nigeria PLC, located along Bello Road, Kano. It has been totally ruined by flood water, it has been like this for days, while normal banking activities takes place. Customers use the back door, while ATM users walk on a wooden constructed bridge. This poses great danger to the health of the customers and residents of this area.

Wooooow! Reminds of 2010 dat I made my first 1million Bucks, I was held down&Quizzed, d Mobile police was brought in & he asked"You small boy, were did U get dis amnt?"..... But thank GOD 4 my client's calls from Lagos, I was released but not without emptying my account that unforgetful day with Abokis
Am having a discussion with a colleague in the office now who needs sound counselling greater than me. His challenges is that his Late Dad of 7yrs now left an arable land with cashcrops and all to 3boys all grown up(2alive, 1 also late) but due to his job, he's been minding his own bizness. However, their late father left an uncompleted building project but surprisingly enough those manning d farmland has never brought in anything for like 6yrs now, meanwhile some family members have been calling him being d youngest to oversee d farm activities, he however pleaded with his elderly brother who is into all these "white garment pastoral works" because he has the time but surprisingly d said pastor brother only corners proceeds from the farmland handlers into his own coffers for over a year without even him having a clue of whats going on in d farm now leaving d project unattended to, he is now considering taking d farm supervision activities up because his jobrole is no longer tasking like before(he has more time on his hands & the current job pays less) but he doesn't want to offend or be at loggerheads with his elder brother. IMOHO, I see him as a successful young chap also full of future greatness, hence am thinking of advising him to completely stay off his father's property eventhough they are only 3 while he works to purchase his own land if he's interested in Agriculture. Kindly advise objectively ...
Viking007: He is a real goat. I am being charged N11,000 monthly (estimated billing, the idiots refused to give us meters) for a 2 bedroom flat! As if I own a pure water factory inside my house.
I can help U get one but were is Ur location? Or better still call me 08060286044
hpaje: It's so annoying that most people don't even know their rights since NEPA/PHCN became a private owned entity. People are still of the mindset that when the transformer spoils, they should contribute and fix it; but that mindset should be washed away. If the Private company want to make money, let them fix it themselves. Apart from the MD (Maximum Demand) customers who have been mandated by NERC(Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission) not to pay their bills until they are metered, Do you know you can CONTEST AN ESTIMATED BILL with your DISCO? [flash=200,000] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYOB6PkF7gk[/flash]
In case you don't know your rights, here they are.
1. All new electricity connections must be done strictly based on metering before connection. That is, no new customer should be connected by a DisCo without a meter first being installed at the premises. 2. All customers have a right to electricity supply in a safe and reliable manner. 3. All customers have a right to a properly installed and functional meter. 4. All customers have a right to properly informed and educated on the electricity service. 5. All customers have a right to transparent electricity billing. 6. All Un-metered customers should be issued with electricity bills strictly based on NERC’s estimated billing methodology. 7. It is the customer’s right to be notified in writing ahead of disconnection of electricity service by the DisCo serving the customer in line with NERC’s guidelines. 8. All customers have a right to refund when over billed. 9. All customers have a right to file complaints and to the prompt investigation of complaints. 10. All complaints on electricity supply and other billing issues are to be sent to the nearest business unit of the DisCo serving the customer. 11. If a complaint is not satisfactorily addressed, customers have a right to escalate the issue to the NERC Forum Office within the coverage area of the DisCo. 12. Customers have the right to appeal the decision of the NERC Forum Office by writing a petition to the Commission. 13. It is the customer’s right to contest any electricity bill. 14. Any un-metered customer who is disputing his or her estimated bill has the right not to pay the disputed bill, but pay only the last undisputed bill as the contested bill go through the dispute resolution process of NERC. 15. It is not the responsibility of electricity customer or community to buy, replace or repair electricity transformers, poles and related equipment used in the supply of electricity.
Please do not allow people rob you of your hard earned money!!
