I agree with your list but top of the challenges in light; remember my UI days; light won't blink so at the end lectures would be affected.

Emekamex:
Actually the army is at fault, if there were planning on sending our troops over there, the public is meant to be aware as standard procedures practiced in other countries.
Premium times were only doing their job. If the army was planning a secret operation, they shouldnt have been sending out memos.

They will surely let the public know when they are sending them. For now, they are only preparing the troop for an expected course of action which the President is also trying to avoid by visiting Jammeh and trying to let him handover, so let us be patient and not jump the gun.

Icecomrade:

We are not surprised nah.

Ask Buhari, he will deny it too.
Ask Garba Shehu he will tell you, Nigerian is too busy with reviving the economy to enquire of any
political issue in Gambia



Ask Lai Muhammed, he will will tell you no election was held in Gambia.


This lying government and lying agencies.

Seriously, what do Nigerians want. From the look of things, PMB is soliciting for Jammeh to handover before there is need for an imminent war but if issues get bad, there need be a plan on ground; hence the preparation of the Army battalion that will be sent. This spells what is called a covert operation in the army which should have been clarified by Premium Times before spilling the beans. If President Jammeh takes the cue like Idi Amin of Uganda and start keeping hostages now from the Nigerian in Gambia, people like you will still blame the government of being weak and not proactive. By the way, how many people did Obama involve or how many news media did they consult when the US government went after Osama Bin Laden; to get the best out of covert actions, never let them see you coming.

Hi, seems we still don't have anyone with information in this forum. I will keep on updating the topic till someone helps with the information.
I there is anybody also planning to run the UI MBA programme, please let us agree ideas here.

Thanks

Abeg, hide the pictures of this car from Senator Dino Melaye before he sees it, sells his whole constituency, and buys it.

Hi, I just thought of same thing today too and surprisingly there is no known story of her whereabouts. Did you hear anything about her being found cos it has been long.

Good afternoon all, seems nobody has any information on the topic yet, I am still looking forward to anybody who has idea or can help with the questions.
Thanks

fergie001:
I can get d info once am in school.

Fergie, thank you so much. I will be expecting the response.

Having desired to improve my management shills, I am highly interested in the UI Executive MBA program and since I have not been able to get sufficient information about the programme from their website, I opted to ask if anybody is presently running the programme so that I can get basic information on how it is being run. My intention is to apply for the programme come April when the form comes out.
Basically, what I wish to know include:
(a) How flexible is the programme; since I have a very tight work schedule
(b) How practical and effective is the programme; I am looking forward to gathering sufficient skills that can improve my management skills and not just to add a certificate
(c) On what days are classes held and what is the structure of the examination time table?
(d) What are the entry requirement for the programme?
(e) What is the estimate of all required cost to complete the programme?

I have sourced these information officially and yet to be satisfied as most of those I sourced it from in the school of Postgraduate studies seem not to know too much about it; learnt they just started the executive MBA 2015, so anybody who can give verifiable information on the programme and answer some of the raised questions will be helping me in making my decision.
Likewise, we can use this to build a thread for those of us interested in the Executive MBA for the 2016/2017 session. Thank you.

fergie001:
I am not an authority but based on sampled opinions,in Education a PhD for 3years is 3.Let me not generalise though,but for Engineering,keep your money.UI as a University is strongest in Education and Perhaps,Medicine.
If you can endure,its good,but God-Willing,make I finish this MSc here then run out for Phd,notwithstanding UI is d no.1 arguably,in terms of PG in Nigeria.

Nice exposition, I am however interested in UI executive MBA programme, do you or anybody in the house have succinct information on how it is being run and general requirements?

deolu2000:
How come the OP is the only one reporting this news? A holdup that long would have caught the attension of the press, secondly how come the pics (your evidences) were taken from just a spot yet you claim that the holdup extended frm 3rd mainland bridge, V.I, ibadan road and even ogun state, my dear your news has elements of exageration.

Op is correct, I witnessed the traffic firsthand and I can tell you it isn't something I pray to witness again; we had to take the ikorodu-sagamu link road after getting tired of the traffic only for us to join it back at Mowe on our way back in the evening; at this time, it has extended to Berger, Alausa Secretariat, Ojota-maryland and third mainland bridge; it was a total standstill so we opted to park in a filling station and walk to where we could take a bus home.

Grand-Pa!



Sir, there's a book I'm also looking for, i can't remember the title of the book or Author (most have been Cyprian Ekwensi or Elechi Amadi).

I remember, the story was about a boy who met a man, a Northerner in the train. This man goes on to tell the boy or amaze the boy with stories of his adventures. I think the train was traveling from Lagos - Kano.


I would be glad if you can help me recall the title of the novel, i won't call it a proper novel, it's more like a story book. Just a few pages long.

I am not sure but I am guessing it is 'Passport of Mallam Ilia'

Do you have 2004 rav4 naija used or Tokunbo?

drnairalov:
A man is driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"

The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound unlike anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound.

The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." Distraught, the man is forced to leave.

Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.




The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."
The man says, "If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk."

The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find these answers, you will have become a monk."

The man sets about his task.

After years of searching he returns as a gray-haired old man and knocks on the door of the monastery. A monk answers. He is taken before a gathering of all the monks.

"In my quest to find what makes that beautiful sound, I traveled the earth and have found what you asked for: By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception."

The monks reply, "Congratulations. You have become a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sacred sound."

The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is beyond that door."

The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, pearl and diamond.

Finally, they come to a door made of solid gold. The sound has become very clear and definite. The monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."

The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind that door!
With trembling hands, he unlocks the door, turns the knob, and slowly pushes the door open. Falling to his knees, he is utterly amazed to discover the source of that haunting and seductive sound







But, of course, I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

if you wrote this story, I advise you to write a book because your book will sell; i like your style of writing. The story was engaging and your last statement killed it; good work

soberdrunk:
Ironic! Very very Ironic that the goose that lays this woman's golden egg belongs to people that can barely afford to survive and instead of the people to think of a reasonable way to collect their goose back they have decided to 'destroy' it..........

Please, don't let bias against her success give you the notion that she is being enriched at the expense of the Niger Deltan, Folorunsho Alakija has the oil mining lease for the Agbami Offshore which by the onshore-offshore dichotomy law means it doesn't belong to any state but the government; just so you know it takes over one hour by chopper to get to the said FPSO from any land location so don't blame her for the insensitivity of the government to the general welfare of the populace because she still pays her tax and still supports in CSR.
However, since you already should know that most of the Niger-deltan leaders are doing far better than the general people that follow them, when are you going to ask them about who they have been able to help and uplift rather than looking for a bogus fall person.
I pray and hope that we can all say one day that we are prosperous as a citizen of Nigeria but advocating for preferential treatment because of the so called resources is begrudgingly backward and unnecessary.

BiafraBushBoy:
Op, your thread is Whack... sorry to say that...!!

Instead on focusing on the negatives, why can't you list the various ways one can be Rich??

There are a million ways to die in the west, But there is only One Way to survive...

Show us the way to be rich and not the way to remain poor...

I disagree that only the negatives was pointed out; the writeup literally indicated the positives too. If you do everything posited in the article, you may grow poor but if per-chance you inculcate the habit of not doing all aforementioned, your tendency for riches is high. It all goes back to your basic application of what you see in the write-up.

TippyTop:
Sudanese president was indicted by war crimes commission for crime against humanity. Mrs Haliburton's case is different bros.

I agree she may have a diplomatic passport which as concluded by you, means she is presently free from prosecution, but have you thought of the weight of Fayose's statement that it is because the US government will arrest and detain her that she has not travelled to the US in the last three times PMB visited.
The question is therefore if she actually committed the crime as proclaimed by Fayose, why will she still be afraid of travelling to the US, while in possession of a diplomatic passport; that argument is therefore null and void.
If she can travel to the US and come back without being detained nor arrested as Fayose promised, Fayose and those who believe his antics and lies owe us the duty o keeping shut.

thelegend1:
This takeover has political undertones... There are other billionaires with non performing loans in this same naija

I agree you may be right but do you think that is right. Between 2007 and 2010, some of us who invested heavily in the financial sector lost most of our monies running into millions, due to businessmen and politicians borrowing and not paying back their debt yet living larger than live while we, the investors count our loss.
What is being done in AMCON is the responsibility of any sane government so don't start mentioning political undertone here. Lest I forget, can you mention irrefutably, one businessman who has non- performing loan, still living large yet his company has not been taken over by AMCON?

Era of banks denying their premium customers . . . UBA is no saint here.

OTOH, Jimoh, you took that money and zapped with it to Ghana to float a new bank (Energy Bank of Ghana), the same new bank you ran into multiple debts via multiple bad loans took by the same you . . . sometimes you end up getting too smart for your own good.

Seriously, being an ardent student of entrepreneurship, I have once respected and taken my time to study Jimoh Ibrahim, and my only conclusion is that he is too sneaky and not someone that should be given any considerable mention; business wise. He buys up companies, take up their assets while pretending there are no liabilities, find a way to garnish the company before the general populace and then gets people to support and invest into the company; with the promise of high profitability due to so called imminent expansion drive. Having raised the money, he pushes all available assets into another solely operated business, then claim market changes, leading to the collapse of the initially viable company, only to emerge as a sole owner of the newly established company. Crumbling other businesses to raise singly operated ones by you, brother Jimoh is a crime, hence people like Jimoh Ibrahim should be in jail.

candidbabe:
Another name for APC government is WITCHHUNT
if the Aisha buhari that was mentioned is an impostor what about Atiku abubakar?

BUHARI and the family never talk true.
GOD will put them to shame.

I won't lie to you, you have a reasonable argument but the questions are:
1. Has PMB started a probe of the Halliburton case? If he has started the probe and didn't mention names like Atiku, we will all question his integrity.
2. Did Fayose mention Atiku as one of the convicted persons or Aisha Buhari; the onus is on government to prove the said Aisha Buhari is the first lady or not and not to address Atiku being part of the bribery as he wasn't mentioned by Fayose.
3. Why is Fayose running from pillar to post when in actual fact over 1.2 billion naira has been traced to his personal account? Is he saying that because of the purported link of the presumed Aisha to the Halliburton case, he should not be investigated on his involvement in the arms deal?
The Nigerian government is presently focusing on the arms deal, let him give a tenable answer on his involvement and if found not wanting, he will earn all our respect rather than depending on sentimental attachments.

My mum didnt fix brazillian hair, i dont fix brazillian and i dont intend to ask the man i wil.marry to buy for me, cause i see it as waste of money.. Any weavon i fix goes well with my looks.. I dont need brazillian hair to be drop dead gergous
. Not all ladies want those unnecessary vain things. Someone like me, i dont go to parties, except he or she is so close to me and untop of that my close friends know me, giving me aso ebi of 50k? OYO...
Tell me the colour code and i will wear what i can lay my hands on, but it will be very pretty and classy... Na my body, no be their body.
I wont break bank because i want to follow crowd.. Nope i wont.
Am very frugal in spending.. I only spend on basic things and my man loves me for that.

If you are truly the way you described yourself, blessed and lucky is the man who marries you. Keep up the good work and stop being bothered if men ask what you are bringing to the table; your values are sufficient to encourage the man. Have a pleasant night.

Amelian:
Oga Bello, is indeed Oga... At least he took care of his children without complaining , woman what are u bringing to the table, if i marry you.
See how fresh and cool headed they all look... And nobody hear their voice outside, cause their dad is more than responsible.

Most men of these days are just so lazy and selfish... U never born, just to marry, u are asking the woman what are u bringing to the table... I wonder why God didnt bring me in the early generation where men are Men...marriage has lost its value these days, because the men are not willing to be the head anymore.
My late dad had 17of us and took care of all of single handedly until after we graduated from school, some of us went to Universitites, some polytechinics.. With such dad as my role model, u can imagine how perplexed i will look at a guy that will ask me what are u bringing to the table

For real?
Isnt your wife meant to support discreetly, must she be delegated a certain financial duty in the home?

Oga Bello, i duff my hat for you ooo
God almighty will continue to bless and empower you, amen.

Nice perspective for saying men are not meeting up but I can bet your mum never asked for Brazilian hair and predominantly contented with whatever your dad could afford unlike the ladies of today who want everything while giving back nothing. However good and responsible men and women still exists.

achi4u:
Yes!
The goose that lays the Golden eggs has been neglected for too long.

This is pure hypocrisy. So you can't compare the beautiful places in warri, eket, bonny, ph, akure, yenogoa etc with your pictures of lagos and Abuja. Rather, you posted pictures of creek as if dirty Ajegunle and Bariga are not part of Lagos that your so called golden egg should have developed. So in your mind, that is how the whole of lagos looks like. Please stop this delusion.

ganisucks:
I L♥√ع Fayose. If all Nigerian men, especially the small boys on Nairaland, were half the man he is, Nigerian would have become the 3rd most powerful nation in the world, by now. Fayose, single-handedly went †̥♥ China A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ destroyed the Fake Currency Slavery swap the government ☀̤̣̈̇f Buhari wanted †̥♥ foist on us. Fayose is Nigeria's SUPERMAN. If Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ don't like it, go A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ hug Transformer.

I love the fact that you are enthralled by Fayose, however his first duty is to those who elected him which are the people of Ekiti. Unfortunately, he is yet to pay them because he has been depending on the government that he had been quick to criticize to provide sustenance for his state workers. So, as a governor, he can't look within to create means to cover their recurrent expenditures? If this is the kind of leader you expect people to be like, I will pass as Nigeria deserves better.

Ucheosefoh:
By the time they cripple the economy na una go de beg your OGA make them negotiate because salary una no go see

I get tired when I hear intellectuals talk like this, when they crippled the economy during OBJ's time, who suffered? It was me and you that lost our jobs and source of livelihood. Stop talking out of hate and racial prejudice. The government cannot afford to standstill and watch while the sovereignty of Nigeria is challenged by whosoever, be it militants, be it Bokoharam, IPOB or even OPC. We need to stop supporting what is wrong and source for ways to amicably settle our differences. Just so you know the oil companies whose installations this NDAs are attacking already have an MOU with their host communities which has been used in empowering them so why should they bear the brunt of foolish decisions by our government and self-centred citizens. People working in these companies have started losing jobs while all our senators, ministers and presidential team are yet to lose theirs. Obviously you still have a job so you think you can't be touched by the ailing economy but you can never be sure.

Which stupid corruption? If it was not a tribal coup, why wasn't any Igbo soldiers or civilians killed? Story for the gods!

If you read books on the 1966 coup, you will come to an understanding that the coup was not a tribal one but one moved by political intuition of those who participated in the coup.
The only reason why no major Igbo man; this I say because at the end of the day, they didn't see the politicians or top military men in terms of tribe but simply as corrupt, was killed is because of the same reason why if I am today going to invite the top ten people in Nigeria politics and military, I may not find one Igbo man, they were largely not in the Centre then; those who could have been touched as deemed corrupt by the 1966 coupist or revolution fighters as they chose to call themselves were Azikiwe, who was just a ceremonial president and safely not in the country, Ironsi, whom due to the weakness of Major Okafor's planning in Lagos was not affected, Unegbe, who was stationed in Ibadan, where Ademulegun didn't have much control, Ojukwu; whom those guys also saw as a revolutionary himself.
The major success of the 1966 coup came from Nzeogwu, who was stationed in Kaduna, hence most casualties came from there, but it wasn't because it was a tribal based coup.
However, Festus Okotie-Eboh, who was deemed an Easterner then, because there was no separation then, was however killed. I believe it was more of a failure thing than a plan that the major Igbo people deemed corrupt by the revolutionaries didn't die.

KillJoy62:
Watch closely at d pics u wld notice d three men dat changed d face of Nigeria were together in line were Ironsi sat behind him is Ojuku nd behind ojuku stands Gowon. For those indomie children Nzeogwu was not the leader of the coup it was Ifeajuna. Cus Ifeajuna was the brain behind every tin nd still tried to overthrow Ojuku in d face of the war dat led to his Doom.

Sir, permit me to say that from my understanding of the books on the 1966 coup I have read, 10 officers were involved but 3 of them actually planned the coup, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, and Ademulegun however Ifeajuna was the most radical of the three but he can never be said to be the person who planned the coup; they all had it in mind and after meeting together shared ideas that practically lead to the coup.

Ninilowo:
Hmmmmm........... Almost all them played active part in the Civil War. "The Nigeria Revolution and Biafra War" written by Alexander Madiebo gave the full account of what led to the war and the war itself. Can't get tired of reading the book over and over again.

Sir, this is a subject of disagreement as Madiebo's claim has been refuted by Ademulegun, who was one of the active participants in the 1966 coup and to the best of my understanding since Madiebo was not actively involved in the coup, the best he can do is account from other people's statement, I implore you to read "why we struck" by Ademoyega Ademulegun.
