blueto:Wow Enyeama's return and that of Ikeme would give Rohr a massive headache on whom to pencil down for the World Cup. It will be a shame to see the likes of Emmanuel Daniel or Ezenwa left off the team. |
Mali only scored 5 points in the 2nd quarter, while Nigeria scored 13 |

What happens to such passport holders when they travel to countries that do not recognize gender-neutral passports? |
Starting Thursday, Canadians will have a new way to identify their sex on passports and other government documents: “X” will join the options of male and female. The decision to allow the third category, indicating an “unspecified” sex, is intended to protect the rights of Canadians to identify by the gender of their choice, the country’s immigration department said in announcing the change. Ahmed Hussen, the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, said in a statement that the designation was added to advance “equality for all Canadians regardless of gender identity or expression.” The move is part of a broader push to embrace nontraditional forms of gender expression. In November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed a special adviser to coordinate government efforts to promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. A law passed in June amended the Human Rights Act to include nondiscrimination protections for gender identity and gender expression. Canada is not alone. At least eight other countries offer a third option on passports or national identification cards, according to Lambda Legal, a nonprofit that promotes the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people. Those countries are: Australia, Bangladesh, Germany, India, Malta, Nepal, New Zealand and Pakistan. The group is suing the United States State Department on behalf of a client who identifies as neither male nor female and is therefore unable to accurately complete a passport application. Last year, a judge in Oregon granted a petition allowing Jamie Shupe of Portland, a retired Army sergeant, to identify as neither sex and instead be classified as nonbinary. At the time, experts described the ruling as groundbreaking. In June, Washington, D.C., added a gender-neutral identifier to drivers’ licenses and identification cards, and in July, Oregon began allowing residents to mark their sex on driver’s licenses as “not specified.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/world/americas/canada-passport-x.html

Nigus Enfinity, an indigenous firm, says it will introduce electric vehicles into the Nigerian automobile market in 2018 and that its local assembly plant for electric vehicles will be ready in 2020. Malik Ado-Ibrahim, chairman of the company, made this known to journalists in an interactive session which held in Abuja on Thursday. Ado-Ibrahim said several countries across the world have set targets for the ban of petrol-fuelled vehicles with India targeting 2030, and the United Kingdom, 2040. He said Nigeria and Africa need to look inward to be at the fore of the automotive revolution or risk becoming waste bin for banned vehicles from other countries. Ado-Ibrahim, who was the first African to lead the Formula 1 Team global race car competition in 1999, said his firm is already building a 100 megawatts (mw) solar power plant in Katsina and another in Adamawa state. According to him, the company has also partnered with Build Your Dreams, a Chinese firm, to import electric vehicles at affordable costs from 2018. “We are also working with BYD to get a local brand and start an electric vehicle assembly plant for Nigeria from 2020. Gradually we will move to an EV with the African DNA starting in Nigeria,” he said. In June, Elon Musk had unveiled the world’s cheapest electric car, which was priced at N11 million. https://www.thecable.ng/electric-cars-introduced-nigerian-market-2018 |
safarigirl:If Nigeria qualifies for next year's world cup, expect Akpeyi and Musa to be part of the team. I reckon that it will be only injury that would prevent both players from making the trip to Russia. If Ikeme recovers from leukemia before the world cup, he will be part of the final 23 to Russia too. Something tells me that Rohr won't discard Akpeyi just like that. |
The reason why it looks easier to pass American school exams is that the professors get promoted (or get pay raises) if a majority of their students pass their classes with a C, B, or A grade. If most of the students get Ds and Fs, that professor may be in danger of either not being promoted (to, say, head of department), or even laid off. So, it is always in the best interests of the professor to ensure that most his/her students pass the class. |
FT: Mali 90-50 Egypt So, it's a Mali v Nigeria semifinal tomorrow |
freshest4live:The Malian defense have done well to limit Egypt to 27 first half points. The hosts do not score a ton of baskets but they sure won't let you have easy shots either. D'Tigress may have to rely more on 3-point shots and drawing fouls in the paint in order to breach the Malian defense |
LagosEconomist:Absolutely! Mozambique are about to pull the shock of the tournament!! |
So far, they've outscored their opponents in 22 out of 24 quarters played!! |
