marvel10: Loads of alternatives. I would stick to a clean finish such as using plasterboards from 9.5mm (thickness), plaster over it and paint it so it looks like a wall. The attached images show the finish from the usual plasterboards.Thanks marvel10, are these pictures of Naija homes? |

Hello everyone, given the scientifically proven health risks which asbestos pose, I am wondering what the reliable and available alternatives are in Nigeria. Please do share your experiences with me. Thanks. |

Saction: Yes i loss that admission,am at home now.You mean you had to quit your studies after 4 years into the programme? Wow! Did you go to JAMB headquarters to appeal to a staff member to help you oocate this document? Elsewhere in the world, similar organisations are obliged to provide copies of exams results. Go to JAMB and ask that someone helps you to fish it out. Best of luck. |

Now let's qualify this! Is your question specific to the Nigerian milieu and exclusive of the European and North American scenes? In the latter, owning a car is no big deal: it's a necessity rather than a luxury. Besides, with good credit rating and sizeable income, you can get a car of your choice, courtesy of a car loan. In fact, the other day, I was reading how guys in London would go and hire 2012 Reg cars for a couple of weeks to impress some girls. So, OP may be you need to redefine your questions as to get more genuine answers. |

Please help me out, there is this girl I am trying to help with work. However, I have some doubts about her academic pedigree. She claims to have studied at the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, Lagos Study Centre or Campus. Has this Polytechnic ever operated ND accountancy courses from centres or campuses in Lagos? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. I simply do not want a situation when I recommend someone to friend to help her only to discover that she was carrying fake results. Also looking at the WAEC result she sent, it appeared to have been doctored. Anyway help me guys! |

| Politics › Nearly 100 Killed In Nigeria Fuel Explosion, Fire by Patsey(op): 7:38pm On Jul 12, 2012 |
Heather Murdock July 12, 2012 ABUJA, Nigeria — At least 100 people were killed Thursday in a vehicle crash involving a fuel tanker in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta region. Authorities say locals who rushed to gather fuel as it spilled from the tanker were killed in the fire that followed. Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency says the fuel tanker tipped over after swerving to avoid a collision with another vehicle. As the tanker began to leak, locals rushed to the scene to scoop up as much fuel as possible, only to be caught in the fire started by igniting fuel. Anthony Chigbo, the CEO of Gallop Polls Nigeria Limited, says Niger Delta residents are aware of the dangers of oil fires. Chigbo says this did not stop the rush of people to the scene in Rivers State, just to make a few naira, Nigeria’s currency. “Their desire to make that naira clouds the reality that that thing can ignite and kill them,” says Chigbo. In 1998 a gas pipeline exploded in nearby Delta State, killing over a 1,000 people. Many victims were collecting fuel from a massive leak when it exploded and their bodies were found with plastic cups or cans still in their hands. Locals say this kind of accident continues to happen once or twice every year. Chigbo says accidents like this one demonstrate the level of desperation and deprivation in the region. “It’s unfortunate that people will put their lives on the line for peanuts. It just shows the level of poverty,” says Chigbo. In the Niger Delta, most people live on a few dollars per week while the government and international oil giants like Royal Dutch Shell and Chevron export 2.5 million barrels of oil a day. Niger Delta residents have long demanded a greater share of the oil wealth, and many tap illegally into oil pipelines to get it. Oil companies say they lose as much as $1 billion a month to oil theft. Illegal refiners say the black market fuel business now drives the economy of the Niger Delta, since oil spills and pollution from gas flaring has destroyed the fishing and farming industries. Hilary Uguru contributed to this report. SAD, SAD, SAD! WHEN SHALL WE LEARN FROM THE PAST. “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” ~~ Albert Einstein (1879–1955) |

Ronaldo200: How would you claim I am not current? When I have just told you that my younger siblings have both just secure job and having visa processed?You come across as someone who is absolutely clueless about the current UK visa scenario. Apparently, you were relying on secondary sources of information. Also, except you were married to a British or an EU citizen, even at the time you were talking about (2006-07), it was not possible to obtain ILR and British Citizenship in 3 years. In 2007 WPs were issued for 5 years following which you apply for ILR. And, except you're married to a British, you had to wait another 1 year after the date of your ILR to get your British Citizenship. |
| Education › Re: Flogging Children In School And At Home: Good Or Bad? Whats Your Take? by Patsey: 1:41pm On Jul 09, 2012 |
Legally speaking, flogging is a violation of the child's right to freedom from torture, or degrading treatment or punishment. This is purely a fundamental and an inalienable right which must not be violated. Psychologically, it is not good for children. A child who suffers violence potentially becomes a violent person |

Caracta: In the school i teach, one of the staff (who just found out to be HIV positive), had s*x with eleven of our students. He agreed to help them out in the just concluded WASSCE @ the price of s*x. Now u can imagine the plight of these young students.So this happen even at post-primary school level? OMG. WASSCE students must be minors and the teacher, as an adult, acting in locum parentis yet shagging minors is simply a paedophile. He should be sent to jail. But this is Nigeria where ANYTHING HAPPENS AND PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH IT WITH IMPUNITY! VERY VERY SHAMEFUL. |
| Education › Re: Why Should Students Pay To Check PUTME Result? by Patsey: 8:01am On Jul 06, 2012 |
The generation of those who are Vice Chancellors, Provosts and Rectors of Nigerian Universities, Colleges of Education and Polytechnics, etc, had it so GOOD, most of them studied at home and abroad, fully funded. Imagine how they're making life difficult for people. This is simply not done anywhere else on this planet earth. It's simply an institutionalised fraud in Nigeria's dilapidating ivory towers. But who will bell the cart? Where are our Nations's Human Rights Lawyers? It takes one of them or any affluent/rich parents to successfully sue an institution so that once the case has been decided in favour of the student and his/her parents, it becomes a precedent, setting free countless of others. But then, no one really cares and it makes my mind bleed for Nigeria. The only RESOLUTION to Nigeria's woes is REVOLUTION. SHAME!!!!!!!! |

| Education › Why Do People Lie About Their Academic Pedigree by Patsey(op): 9:18am On Jun 30, 2012 |
I met this Nigerian who studied at the University of Manila (Philippines). He told me he graduated from the University of Manitoba (Canada). Uhmn! Manila - Manitoba. Sounds and spells somewhat similar. But, for God's sake, Philippines is nowhere near Canada. So, how did I know he's a product of the University of Manila and not Manitoba? Due to inconsistencies in his claims and the persistence use of: 'I don't do anything dodgy', 'I have nothing to hide' (sentences which, in criminology, are considered to be frequently used by criminals to conceal their acts), I Googled him! And, alas, his dissertation which contains his full name and year of birth was found to be in an online repository! Without divulging my discovery to him, I chatted him up and we talked about dissertation experiences. In the course of the conversation, he talked extensively about this dissertation. It was precisely the one I found online. So, why would someone graduate from the University of Tanzania (if there is any such uni in East Africa) and claim to have graduated from the University of Tasmania (Australia)? No wonder, upon returning home to Nigeria, according to him, he never secured any meaningful jobs. Who, in Nigeria, would abandon UNILAG, OAU, UNN graduates to employ University of Manila graduate? The day I get fed up of his 'I don't do anything dodgy', 'I have nothing to hide', I might as well ask him to explain how his degree from the University of Manila (in the Philippines) metamorphosed into a degree from the University of Manitoba! lol. 3 Likes |

Horayce: until the day we start attracting the best white and asian students into this country, now that'll be something worth celebratingI'm afraid, this generation may never celebrate what you wished for in so far as this country continues to be led by the likes of GEJ and the legislooters in Abuja. Time was when countless Europeans (e.g. Professor Karin Barber with a PhD from Ife [ http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/cwas/barber-karin.aspx ]) came to Nigeria to study under world class academics. Not any more! The quality of manpower and infrastructure, currently, is both pitiable and laughable. |
