Himmler:
No!! not that murderous Nazi Herr Himmler, Mine is a reference to Karl Otto Himmler, a scientist who invented the first contact lens. I read his inspirational story many years ago and was motivated by it

.
That's swell.

[quote author=RiyadhGoddess post=68530564][/quote]You write very well for someone who was/is a cleaner.

What of our grand dad here I can't recall his name here, he is also an Igbo Man. Somebody should help me remember his name, he lives outside the country. I think he is a Medical Doctor whose son carried a Surgery on him, he once posted about it here.

Eziachi. Fought in the biafran war too.

Himmler:
The kids probably climbed into the refrigerator themselves and shut it while playing and couldn't open it again from inside suffocating thereafter. Either that or the parents should be thoroughly questioned over what happened to their kids. I don't see any thing to indicate that this was done by an outsider or that the kids were forced into the refrigerator, the story doesn't just add up

Herr Himmler.

According to your pocket. If you're looking for range of 20k-30k, you'll get it there. And if it's 40k-60k, you'll also get. They have other high end ones too up 100k and above.

Thanks bro.

When you remove something negative from your life, replace it with something positive to help with the process. Removal without replacement will always cause you to slide back into old habits.

and to think you are a love-vendor. Irony of life.

I wonder, because tension wire kill in micro/mili second

Onyoche abole? aloba neh?

Jabioro:
Powerline is more than 330KVA my brother..330KVA are on tension line,it can transport current on a long range like Lagos to lbadan without loosed much content unlike 110KVA before it step down for 220 volts

That's a 33kv tower not 330. The guy was almost touching the sky wire which does not carry live current. If he had come as much as 5 meters close to the phase lines (RYB), he'd have been gone in microseconds.

A naked man has just climbed a transmission tower at Ojota. No one knows why he's done so.^{A naked man has just climbed a transmission tower at Ojota. No one knows why he's done so.}A naked man has just climbed a transmission tower at Ojota. No one knows why he's done so.

That's not Alabi isama. That's Lt.col Ayo Ariyo..front line 3Mcdo commander during the Civil war . He was quite senior to most 3mcdo commanders as he had joined the army as a recruit and was commissioned through the ranks. read the tragedy of victory by Alabi isama.

bremo:
Check Alaba in Ojo, or better still in Oshodi Arena market at Block C9. There's a guy that sells around there too.

Any ideas about prices, what to look out for etc?

Pls do.

How do I get this book? Had a copy when I was in primary school but lost it. A very interesting read about young shehu sold into slavery at a very young age, first to Kano and then across the sahara to Egypt? Ultimately his mum goes out to look for him or perish in the attempt. She got caught by slave raiders and was sold to a slaver in Tripoli. Shehu completes his Koranic education with flying colours and convinces his kind master to journey back to Kano. As providence will have it, in the course of the journey,they rest in the house of the Tripoli slaver. Shehu is reunited with his mother, buys her freedom and the entire party continue their journey. On the way his Ill mother dies and in great anguish, he buries his mother. The caravan continue their journey across the sahara but are caught up in a very dangerous sandstorm which separates every member of the caravan party. Shehu after three days and nearly dying of thirst sees his camel and takes a drink. He meets kind travellers thereafter and continues his journey.
This book is a very compelling read even though my memory of it is still a bit hazy as its been twenty long years I read it..in primary school, but I still remember how enamoured I was by the sheer weight of emotion the author was able to pass through the characters to the reader. its historical connotation cannot as well be disregarded in view of its perfect description of the trans-saharan slave trade. I think the original version was written in Hausa but was translated to English by another author. A fine book by Nigeria's first prime minister which offers insight as well into life in northern Nigeria as it were long before the days of colonialism. A very important aspect of northern Nigerian literature which unfortunately, no authors from that part of the country have taken it upon themselves to write about. I think there has been a dearth of real Nigerian authors from the north in the mould of chinua Achebe, cyprain ekwensi , woke Soyinka etc and this means there's virtually no compelling, easily available literature from that part of the country. This as well means its culture, heritage and tradition remains a mystery to so many persons like myself.

Umar PAI! ..if you are not careful, you will K(PAI) come 2019!

Two Nigerian teachers have been shortlisted for the prestigious Global Teacher Prize, funded by His Highness, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum — the Vice President of the United Arabs Emirate, Prime Minister and Emir of Dubai all rolled into one.
The two teachers are Messrs Ayodele Odeogbola and Itodo Anthony , who teach in Abeokuta , Ogun State ; and Otukpa , Benue State , respectively .
Al Maktoum funds the award through the Varkey Foundation, his not -for -profit organisation established to improve the standards of education for underprivileged children throughout the world .“Our mission is that every child should have a good teacher ,” the Foundation says on its website .
The Global Teacher Prize is a $ 1 m award presented annually to an exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to their profession . Citizens of any country are free to apply .
The first award was presented in 2015, and 2017 marks the first time that any Nigerian teacher would feature on the finalists’ list.
According to the sponsors of the award , the prize serves to underline the importance of educators and the fact that , throughout the world , their efforts deserve to be recognised and celebrated .
Ayodele Odeogbola teaches STEM Education and Global Studies to 11 -15 -year -olds in Abeokuta Grammar School, Ogun State .
According to his bio on the GTP website , Odeogbola is passionate about developing his learners to be future leaders and become stakeholders in their world , using collaboration , critical thinking , creativity and communication, combined with innovation and new technology to transform learning .
“In class , he has chosen gifted students as leaders to head groups and review every learning activity – many of these have gone on to become leaders in higher education.
“Rather than teach the same thing in the same way to all , Ayodele seeks to match the different needs , potentials and learning paths of each child ,” his biography reads.
The second nominee , Itodo Anthony , teaches at the Gateway Excel College , Otukpa , Benue State .
At the beginning of his career in a small rural school , not many people understood why Anthony would get a masters degree from a UK university and end up teaching in a village for ‘peanuts .’
“But this was part of his mission – to elevate the teaching profession to a place of pride , to say with his own life that the profession is a noble one whose value is not tied to how much we earn,” his biography says .
When Anthony teaches in class , he tries to introduce positive values from other parts of the world to broaden pupils ’ view of life , educating them about the virtues of justice , institutional soundness , community service , and value creation
In line with tradition , the Top 10 finalists will be announced in February 2018 , while the winner will receive his / her prize in March.
