The real problem of this administration is being undiplomatic in all their dealings. They just do things as they please and when people react negatively, they turn around to change it hoping it would bring the people back on their track. They just lack human relation skills. Governance is not easy. The best governance is the one that can bring hope to the people even in the face of suffering.

I may not like the fanatic nature of this man but I highly commend this reform. Right decision for the emancipation of his people from gross illiteracy

Meet Modibbo Adama University Of Technology 2017 Best Graduating Student

Modibbo Adama University of Technology formerly known as Federal University of Technology Yola held her 23rd convocation on the 4th of November 2017.

The class of 2017 recorded the highest number of first class since inception of the institution (1981) which is 35 out of 1815 first degree graduates with the best graduating student being Suleiman Mohammed from the department of statistics with a CGPA of 4.81

My family's friend's son oyedika from st Paul's academy Jos score 316 in jamb and had 8As n 1B in WEACE.
I started believing in village people when this boy said he wanted to study French in the university. It took the grace of God to convince him to study medicine rather. He applied for MBBS at UNN and he has been offered admission.
Though he is preparing for SAT next and I hope he gets scholarship to school outside. I don't want such a brain to waste in Nigeria

Brooklynsouth:
your IP is saying otherwise ,the name you used in registering your network isn't Igbo

I don't get u??
What will I gain by claiming a false identity.
My name is Patrick and the C and O are my native name and surname respectively and are Igbo names. For sure I can't reveal my full names here.
If u think I'm not Igbo, are my points not true?

vanbonattel:
Agbero, is a Yoruba word. The practice is alien to Igbos till corrupt government Which continues till today made it possible for Igbos, who were known for hard work import them into Igbo Land. Same as omonile.

There is a difference in the type of touting that happens in Lagos and the type that happens in Aba. Lagos touts are complete professional touts, they even attend touting schools.

Your last paragraph cracked me u though.
On a serious note though just see the beautiful side.
Learn to outsmart the touts and more on

vanbonattel:
Oga, your attempts to veer me off towards insults and name calling will not work. Keep to the points of the argument. How can you say you are accommodating me when I am paying for all the legal and illegal charges associated with my staying around you?

Simply, it's me that is accommodating you, since you may not survive without my benevolence.

Guy let me give a typical experience I had in Aba.
I went to there to mass produce a type of bag (thus promoting commerce in the great city). can u imagine that touts can along while we are loading the finished products into a truck and demanded we settle them. People urged me to do so else they will just ambush the truck and cause harm.
I'm an Igbo man who came to do business and I'm still being intimidated by my fellow Igbo man.
What do u call this

Please let's stop the ranco.
My aim of creating this is to promote love and unity.
I believe being accommodating is providing an enabling environment for prosperity to strive. The Igbo nation has enjoyed this from host communities. What we see as a problem is not because we are Igbos but because Hunger has driven our some elements in our host to hostility.
What someone mentioned here about OMONILE in SW is also prevelant in SS. This I'm currently experiencing that in asaba Delta State. In fact I can authoritatively tell u that no one can bother u after u purchase a land in the north (at least not in the middle belt I grew up or far north I schooled).
I still maintain that separation is not the solution...

vanbonattel:
It doesn't favour the elites alone, what about the street urchins and miscreants constituting themselves as nuisance and disturbing every movement I make with my business while the state government gives them protection?

The country is very doomed.

I have done business in the east, I can't say my experience cause I will be promoting disunity.
This is a fight for all. It's natural for human to be jealous of his neighbor's perceived success. Come closer to those you perceive as enemy and show love and you will see the beauty

vanbonattel:
How can I be agitating for a joint country with yorubas who still see me as a stranger even with my lands and property bought and maintained in yorubaland? Me that was born in Lagos and some people come up and tell me they are omo alaye and expect me to settle them?

What sort of troublesome union is that?

I know how it feels. Even here in the north while growing up I have been told to go back to my undeveloped region.
Believe me this division only favors the elite.

vanbonattel:
Every region should revolt on their own terms. I dont want to face the problem of tribalism on the revolution grounds. The thing attecting the east or South, is different from what is affecting the west, or north.

Separation is a better solution.

Even within each tribe there will be sub units
Trust me separation is entirely not the solution. What you thing is a problem in the east is also a problem in the west et al.
See the unity in our diversity dear

THE NIGERIAN REVOLUTION
Over the last years, there has been a sudden realization that the ultimate solution to the Nigerian problem is a revolution. This may be true but in Nigeria, a revolution is simply a tussle of power between one political class and another. This can be illustrated by the “occupy Lagos “ of 2012 against the government’s policy of subsidy removal. Though it was a success, it was not really a fight for the masses but a well strategized plan by a political class against another where the imminent need of a people was politicized to gain points. The good thing about this is that it proved that power belongs to the people.
A true revolution is a fight by the masses against the elite. The elite has no categorization like religious inclination or ethnic identity. The elite no matter how you see it or made to believe are unified in plundering the collective resources of the people. This can be seen in the cases of nepotism and godfathers.
Nigeria can never be said to be prosperous unless “the son of nobody becomes somebody without knowing nobody “
The greatest tool our elite use in holding us all captive is the ultimate rule of power -Divide and Conquer. The make believe that we are different (religion, ethnicity, etc.). This has been the problem. True revolution is never possible with the current psychological orientation of our people.
The first step in achieving a true revolution is in seeing the unity in our diversity. Let me use myself as an example. I am Igbo by tribe, born and brought up in the middle belt and schooled in the far north. I decided to investigate why we think we are not homogeneous. In school, I joined politics. My political class on campus were made up of different ethnic groups (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Igala, etc.). We fought a political war on campus against politics of religion and ethnicity. This was the bane of politics in my campus. Every elective position is always about: Is he a Christian /Muslim, indigene/settler etc. By doing this, competence is sacrificed on the altar of religious /ethnic differences. From my experience, the Muslim sees a Christian as an infidel who should not rule him, a Christian sees a Muslim as pagan who should not rule him, the Igbo sees a Hausa man as a lower being he should not take orders from, the Hausa man sees the Igbo man as a domineering being who should not be allowed to get to power, likewise Igbo-Yoruba, Yoruba-Hausa.
We have to see the beauty in our differences rather than the ugliness. No country in the world is really homogeneous in nature (China, India, Russian, UK, USA to name but a few). Our homogeneity should be in our psychological orientation. This is the true path to greatness.
While in the Eastern part of the country for some period, I was opportune time listen to the new secessionist in town. As a person who likes to see the beauty in people, I try to see what can be learnt from him to move our nation forward. His fellowship is just alarming and what inspires me more is his class of followers. These are majorly the artisans, traders, and all those we may classify as the third class. Whether he succeeds or not is something else entirely. He has succeeded in pulling millions to his side who now see him as a Mandela who will liberate them from their perceived sufferings. The opium is so strong that his people no longer regard their rulers as they now see them as being compromised and sold out.
I thought to myself if we can replicate something similar in other parts of the country and unify the masses then we can bend the government to our will and establish a new political system where the son of nobody becomes somebody without knowing nobody. A system where the resources of the people will be fully utilized to create wealth for the people. A system where the 1% will no longer hold the 99% under captivity. A system where we have leaders not rulers. A system where performance and competence is chosen over religion and ethnicity. This is the true revolution...

FOOL!

you still dey talk after destroying our beloved country. Infact may your days be cut short
Stupid man

What is the difference between u and those that wish buhari death.
Hatred is bad bro

To be sincere, there is nothing spectacular in this.
I have lived in the north almost all my life n i can tell u that this local innovation has being existing here for as long as i can remember. Tea sellers (mai shayi) use this to boil their tea in large pots.
While growing as an electronics hobbyist i replicated it at home using toy car's motor.

Electrical engineers should take note of this question before going for an interview or practical aptitude test. if you do not know 85% of the answers now as your reading it for the first time then you have work to do on yourself. Because of the nature of our university system(un experience lecturers with little or know industrial knowledge) and poor industrial training program, most of us graduated without knowing that these questions are the key to nailing any interview in electrical power section(instrument and process control will come later).
i can only vouch for AEIT for now wrt practical training.

1= What is the different between a solid state relay and an electromagnetic relay.
2= Why is it that an electrical motor using 480VAC is runs on a star/delta circuit.
3= Draw the control and the power diagram of a direct online motor.
4= What is single phasing of a 3 phase motor.
5= What is the function of a relay, contactor,and overload relay in a motor circuit.
6= what is the full meaning of MCB,MCCB and OLR
7= Name five part of an AC motor
8= Know your motor calculation, viz a viz slip. efficiency, speed.
9= How do you reverse the direction of a DC motor.
10=How do you reverse the direction of an AC motor.
11=what are the causes of a motor overload.
12=The speed of a motor is determine by what two factors
13=What is the different between synchronous and asynchronous motor.
14=Explain the operation of an induction motor.
15=How effective are you in the use of megger meter and analog/digital meter.
16=What are the different type of motor overload protection devices and how are they connected. such as fuses, OLR, MCB, MCCB, phase failure device, under current device, etc.
17=what do you understand by Power factor correction, what are the types of power factor correction and why is power factor correction important. etc.
18= Add more electrical motor question that you have come across in the interview.

everything having being said is know your motor, transformer and practical basic electricity very well.
note that you do not need to answer all the questions being asked in an interview but you need to answer a quite number of the question asked to your best, keep it simple and clear but before you get to this stage, your cv should speak for you.
consult other trends to learn how to write a very good cv.

i have 4 pdf and an electrical maintenance video to give out to those who want it. i have had my day, struggle to get here, made sacrifices, waited resources in search of practical electrical knowledge. the key is NEVER GIVE UP. [size=18pt]one of your best aid to learning is www.youtube.com
there are so many short videos to explain most interview question.[/size]

pls sir I need the materials too.
thanks in anticipation

Lawyers can get a bad reputation for being slimy and conniving, but ROSS has neither of those qualities.

Ask ROSS to look up an obscure court ruling from 13 years ago, and ROSS will not only search for the case in an instant — without contest or complaint — but it'll offer opinions in plain language about the old ruling's relevance to the case at hand.

Just about the only thing it can't do is fetch coffee.

Not that anyone should blame it, seeing as ROSS is a piece of artificial intelligence software. It uses the supercomputing power of IBM Watson to comb through huge batches of data and, over time, learn how to best serve its users.

"Judges' decisions are written in everyday language and not issued in columns and rows, which is what current computer systems digest best," Andrew Arruda, the CEO and co-founder of ROSS Intelligence, tells Tech Insider.

The challenge in building ROSS, he says, was finding a way to make it as intuitive as an actual colleague. That meant programming it to respond to people's normal manner of speaking, not just keyword-loaded fragments.

But the hard work seems to have paid off, as ROSS was just unveiled as a "new hire" at the law firm Baker & Hostetler, which handles bankruptcy cases. Arruda says several other firms have signed licenses to employ ROSS' services, and their announcements will be made in the coming weeks.

In Arruda's perfect world, all law firms would harness the power of AI in order to serve justice. Right now, about 80% of Americans who need a lawyer can't afford one, he says. This is despite the country having a surplus of attorneys on tap.

"With ROSS, lawyers can scale their abilities and start to service this very large untapped market of Americans in need," Arruda says.

In other words, by using AI lawyers like ROSS, law firms could charge lower fees since they wouldn't be paying humans (who generally prefer to get paid for their work) to handle clients' cases. In addition, those lawyers currently out of work could use AI services like ROSS, which offer a lower barrier of entry into the market, to create more affordable options for clients.

And when it comes time for opposing law firms to battle it out in court, it'd be in everyone's best interest to have a computing whiz at both parties' disposal, Arruda says. 

"The law is the same for both parties," Arruda says. "No matter if you have 20 associates doing research on a case, or just one equipped with ROSS, the relevant passages will be found for you."

In that way, the company sees the software as a force that levels a playing field that many tend to see as unfairly tilted depending on who's got the deepest pockets.

"With ROSS," Arruda says, "lawyers can focus on advocating for their client and being creative rather than spending hours swimming though hundreds of links, reading through hundreds of pages of cases looking for the passages of law they need to do their job."

Op, its part of the deceit in Nigeria.
They hike the price of fuel in Nigeria and call it " deregulation" or "removal of subsidy" even when fuel price all over the world had come down. Then in a few years time, they hike the price again and call it the same thing.

If you are "deregulating or removing subsidy" it is not a recurring decimal as we have in Nigeria's strange situation. It's all a ploy to impoverish the people more by forcing them to pay more for fuel, so that FG can tax fuel more and feed fat over the people's misery.

it high time the populace pressure the government, criticise when necessary than being gullible. the government keep playing with our heads (not mine though)

good day nairalanders
as a concerned Nigerian and apolitical in nature, I'm worried at the rate at which truth is going extinct and sentiment taking over the day.
I supported subsidy in 2012 and still supports it today. my great concern is "Why is the FG lying and why is gullibility increasing exponentially".
the removal of subsidies (PMS in study) to my best of knowledge means full fledged deregulation of the downstream sector. this means that government no longer pay marketers to fix the price of PMS but rather price will be determined by basic principle of economics that is SUPPLY AND DEMAND. any marketer can sell at any price that suits him. excess supply can force equilibrium price to shift downwards.
the reality on ground is contrary to the basic theory.
my question is "WHY"
I was privieged to chat with an oil marketer early this week and he narrated how he made a profit of N2,178,000 in just one deal.
He loaded his product early last week from Lagos port @N74 and hoarded it base on market speculation that government may hike price . low and behold it happened this week. He sold his product to a gas station @N140.
profit (not net profit) = 33000litres * (140-74) =N2,178,000
in just one deal.
my point is this, if subsidy has being removed, no need to peg price.
coming to the issue of palliatives, paying N5000 to 1million poor Nigerians is a dumb idea. I mean PMB should shoot whoever brought this idea in this 21th century.
the following welfare packages are better palliatives;
free/subsidized medicare
scholarships to great brains
subsidies on agro allied industries etc
my opinion though

lol
no 13 so real.
my paddy dey yarn me say him never sabi the application of him course ( statistics edu).
I was like wtf bro.
it's allowed sha

@HardMirror
I love ur piece. I choose to remain objective.
I was born a Christian, believed in the supremacy of the creator n father of Jesus Christ of the bible.
I have long discovered that "Logical thinking" and "religion" don't agree. in the sense that if u remain logical, then religion becomes nonsense. in fact, in my opinion, faith is a direct opposite of logic.
my main hindrance from completely abandoning religion is "Lucifer/devil/Satan.
WHO IS HE?
if there is no God, then there certainly can't be Satan.
but I noticed here that satanists in this forum jubilate when a Christian becomes atheist. by my logic, atheism maybe an upgraded decoy of satanists.
I really need atheist n satanist stand on my opinion.
tnx
