Please I need the title of a movie I watched sometimes ago.

It's about some guys that got trapped in a shopping mall/Supermarket as a result of a tsunami.

The supermarket became flooded with shark-infected water from the sea. At a point, the water was electrified. They all had to work together to avoid shark attacks, kill the sharks and stay alive.

Eventually, some of them made it alive. Some where killed by sharks.

What's the title, please?

I observed that Channels TV has consistently neglected the Interpreter (man doing Sign Language) for the Deaf and Dumb in the ungoing Ministerial screening on the floor of the Senate.

I've taking my time to check other TV stations namely AIT, NTA, MiTV and STV, and it is noticeable that they all deliberately cover the interpreter.

Why is Channels TV very insensitive to that category of people?

Someone who doesn't enjoy having sex have no business with getting married. Do you agree?

This actually happened for real.

Christina Semaniuk, the VP, Human Resources at Cambrian Credit Union posted it on her LinkedIn page with the caption "A first in my 20 year HR career!"

Should such question be asked in a relationship? Is it important or rather irrelevant?

Have you ever asked your partner the question or have you been asked? What was the response?

Gud.

A Jonathanian?

'Like' this post to vote for your candidate.

A Buharist?

'Like' this post to vote for your candidate.

This is an Opinion Poll between Buharists and Jonathanians on Nairaland.

A Buharist or a Jonathanian needs not to be introduced. But for the sake of people who live in 'France' and others who may not know, a Buharist is someone who fanatically and sympathetically supports General Buhari while a Jonathanian is someone who fanatically and sympathetically supports President Jonathan. This support is in relation to 2015 general election.

The purpose of this Poll is to clearly show who Nairalanders majority prefers to be the next president. Candidate with the higest number of 'Like' becomes the obvious winner.

The rule is simple. Just 'Like' your Candidate only. Please do not vote (Like) both candidates.

I was at Church earlier today and after the service, a friend (Lady) approached me and was stylishly asking for #500. She was irresistable. Don't ask me whether I gave her the money.

On my way home, I wasn't alone in the car, my Sister was with me. At one of the junctns, we saw two Policemen corporately 'begging' for Weekend money from two private car owners.

A questn immediately came to my mind; between Policemen and Women/Ladies, who ask for money more? An argumement broke btw my Sister and I. She argued that women ask for money more than Policemen while I'm on d contrary.

Please, what's your take? U can share ur experience. Thanks.

ASUU Strike: If Military Failed, FG Will Fail - Falana

The Federal Government has directed the Inspector General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, to deploy policemen to all federal universities in the country in its bid to ensure resumption of academic activities in universities on or before December 4.

Reacting to the latest development, Mr Femi Falana [SAN], said President Goodluck Jonathan should call Wike to order in the interest of the education system.

He said if Wike had familiarised himself with FG/ASUU face-off in the past two decades, even under the defunct military junta, he would have discovered that ASUU members had never been cowed to submission.

It was learnt this development was disclosed at an emergency meeting the Federal Government held with all vice-chancellors of federal universities at the National Universities Commission building in Abuja on Friday.

The Acting Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, and the Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof Julius Okojie, were also at the meeting.

Though Friday’s meeting was held behind closed doors, a source at the meeting who craved anonymity because he was not authorised to speak with the press, said that the Federal Government directed the IG to draft policemen to federal universities to prevent members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities from disturbing some of their members that might want to resume work in line with government’s directive.

The meeting, further learnt, also discussed other modalities for calling off the bluff of ASUU whose members have been on strike for over five months.

The Friday meeting began at 9am and lasted for two hours. Part of the meeting’s deliberation.

It also centred on how to recruit new lecturers to fill the space of ASUU members who might refuse to obey government’s directive.

Also, the vice-chancellors were directed to call students back to campus on Sunday in preparation for academic activities which should start on Monday.

Wike, had on Thursday ordered lecturers to resume duties on or before December 4 or face being sacked summarily by the Federal Government.

Okojie had been mandated to start the process of recruiting new lecturers by placing vacancy adverts in international journals and media.

Also, the vice-chancellors were directed to open registers in their institutions where ASUU members that resume work would sign so that those who failed to resume could be sacked.

Our correspondent further learnt that the Federal Government was planning to adopt the Ghanaian method where lecturers were asked to re-apply for their jobs after two years of strike.

“Not all lecturers are members of ASUU. Most professors don’t belong to the union, people think every lecturer in public university is a member of ASUU, which is not true. Government means business this time around and it is going to call off the bluff of ASUU,’’ the source explained.

Nigerian universities are currently in need of at least 30,000 lecturers because of acute shortage of lecturers in the university system.

There are also indications that the Federal Government and university lecturers may be heading for a clash as the December 4 deadline given by the Federal Government for the lecturers to return to work is also the date set aside by ASUU to bury a former President of the union, Prof. Festus Iyayi.

Iyayi died in a ghastly auto accident along the Abuja-Lokoja Road when the vehicle in which he was travelling had a collision with the convoy of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State on November 12, 2013.

The former ASUU chairman was on his way to Kano to attend a crucial meeting of the union which was called to deliberate on the Federal Government’s offer to the lecturers.

The Federal Government had claimed it decided to go tough on ASUU because the union made fresh demands in its letter to the government as a condition for calling off the lingering strike action.

ASUU had demanded payment of the four-month salary arrears of its members from July when the strike commenced and the release of N200bn that President Goodluck Jonathan promised to inject into the university system within the next two weeks.

The union also said the agreement reached between it and the Federal Government should be signed by the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation, while the money should be lodged with the Central Bank.

Jarus: A lot of people thinkk oil and gas is about Shellk, Chevron, Mobil and Chevron alone. Unknown to many folks, there are many relatively unknown independents that pay only a little less than these IOCs. Many people have not heard of Afren, Sapetro, Seplat etc that offer bastard pay. A friend recentlky moved to Addax for 15m. He has 5 years experience like me. A colleague was recently poached by one independent just coming to Nigeria. He must have been offered more than 20m for him to have accepted the offer because he was earning close to that before. NB: I have always said money is not the only thing and oil and gas is not the only sector. If you're good, irrespectie of where you work, money wilkl soon come. In fact, at some point ,all these things converge, irrespective of the industry you work. a E

Oga Jarus, I hold MSc in Economics from a leading Nigerian university, but with no experience. Wot's my chance of getting employed in O&G sector, and how can I go about this?

Danhumprey: Bro,what if you know the plane is about to crash,and the pilots and other crew members comfirmed your fear,is it advisable to try to exit the plane before it crash?

Well, it depends on the height/altitude u wanna exit from. Usually, a plane that is about to crash will start to descend, so if one is close to the exit, one can peep to see if the plane is close to the ground enough before one exits. It is also important that one is sure that the ground is safe enough before exit.

santuse: Ok, try it with dana

FYI, whether you board a local or international airline, these life-saving tips are applicable.

STEP 11

Get at least 500 feet upwind from the wreckage.

If you’re stranded in a remote area, the best thing to do usually is to stay close to the aircraft to await rescuers. You don’t want to be too close, though. Fire or explosion can happen at any time after a crash, so put some distance between you and the plane. If the crash is in open-water, swim as far away from the plane wreckage as possible.


WARNING!

•When landing in water, do not inflate your life vest until you are outside of the aircraft. If you do, you run the risk of becoming trapped when the aircraft fills with water.
•Never hold your infant or toddler on your lap. While it may be cheaper than buying a seat, your child is almost guaranteed not to survive if you are holding him or her. Get a seat for your child and use an approved child restraint system.
•Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics while traveling by plane. If a fire breaks out in the cabin, these materials will melt to your skin.
•Don’t push other passengers. An orderly exit increases everybody’s chance of survival, and if you panic and start shoving, you may be faced with retaliation.
•Avoid excessive alcohol consumption before or during a flight. Alcohol impairs your ability to quickly and methodically react to the crash and evacuate the plane.
•Don’t get down on the floor of the plane. If there is smoke in the cabin, try to stay low, but do not crawl. You will likely be trampled or injured by other passengers attempting to escape in the low-visibility conditions.

STEP 8

Put your oxygen mask on before assisting others.
You’ve probably heard this on every commercial flight you’ve been on, but it’s worth repeating. If the integrity of the cabin is compromised, you have only about 15 seconds (often less if you’re a smoker or have circulatory or respiratory problems) to start breathing through your oxygen mask before you are rendered unconscious.


STEP 9

Protect yourself from smoke.
Fire and, more commonly, smoke is responsible for a large percentage of crash fatalities. The smoke in an airplane fire can be very thick and highly toxic, so cover your nose and mouth with a cloth to avoid breathing it in. If possible, moisten the cloth to provide extra protection.


STEP 10

Get out of the airplane as quickly as possible.
It’s critical to get out of the aircraft without delay—if fire or smoke is present, you will generally have less than two minutes to safely exit the plane.

•Don’t try to rescue your belongings. It’s common sense, but still some people don’t seem to get it. Leave everything behind. It will only slow you down.

STEP 5

Keep your seat belt securely fastened at all times.
If the plane crashes while you’re sleeping, you’ll be glad you kept your seat belt on. In any case, make sure it is placed around you snugly before impact. Every centimeter of slack in your seat belt triples the G-Force you'll experience in the crash, so keep it snug! Also, push that snug seat belt down as low over your pelvis as possible. You should be able to feel the upper ridge of the pelvis above the upper edge of the belt. Why? The pelvis is a very strong structure that handles force well. However, if your belt slides up into your stomach, you have a greater chance of sustaining dangerous internal injuries. (Note: this also applies to car seat belts.)


STEP 6

Brace yourself for impact.
If you know you’re going to crash, brace yourself. Return your seat back to its full upright position and assume one of two "brace positions."
•If the seat or bulkhead in front of you is close enough to easily reach, place one hand palm-down on the back of that seat, cross the other hand palm-down over the first hand, and rest your forehead against your hands (don’t lace your fingers). It is also sometimes recommended to put your head directly against the seat in front of you and lace your fingers behind your head, tucking your upper arms against the sides of your head.
•If you don’t have a seat close in front of you, bend forward and put your chest on your thighs and your head between your knees. Cross your wrists in front of your lower calves, and grab your ankles. In either position, your feet should be flat on the floor and further back than your knees to reduce injuries to your feet and legs, which you will need in order to successfully exit the craft after impact. Place your legs as far under the seat as possible to avoid breaking your shin bones.


STEP 7

Remain calm.
It can be easy to get swept up in the pandemonium immediately preceding and following a crash. Keep a cool head, though, and you’re more likely to get out alive. Remember that even in the worst wrecks, you do have a chance of survival. You’ll need to be able to think methodically and rationally to maximize that chance.

Commercial airlines around the world now carry nearly 2.5 billion passengers a year, and despite the inherent dangers of rocketing through the sky miles above the Earth in a very heavy piece of metal, these travelers are amazingly safe. That said, a lot can go wrong at 33,000 feet above the ground, and if you’re unlucky enough to be aboard when something does, the decisions you make could mean the difference between life and death. Keep in mind that about 95% of airplane crashes have survivors, so even if the worst does happen, your odds aren't as bad as you might think.

STEP 1

Wear long pants, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and sturdy, comfortable, lace-up shoes.
Although you may want to be comfortable or professional-looking on a flight, sandals or high heels make it hard to move quickly within the wreckage. High heels are not allowed on the evacuation slides and you can cut your feet and toes on glass or get flammable liquids on or in your sandals if you wear them.
•Loose or elaborate clothing also poses a risk, as it can get snagged on obstacles in the close confines of a plane. If you know you’re going to be flying over cold areas, dress appropriately, and consider keeping a jacket on your lap. You’ll need to be able to stay warm if you survive the crash. Even if that is not a consideration, the more of your body is covered during impact, the less likely you are to receive serious injuries or burns. Cotton or wool clothing is also preferable as it is less flammable. Wool is preferable to cotton when flying over water, as wool does not lose its insulating properties to the degree cotton does when wet.


STEP 2

Book the right seats.
Because the initial impact is most often survivable, the key to living to tell about a crash is frequently how quickly you can get out. To this end, it’s best to get seats as close as possible to an exit, and aisle seats are generally preferable. In addition, try to sit in the back of the plane. Passengers in the tail of the aircraft have 40% higher survival rates than those in the first few rows.


STEP 3

Read the safety information card and pay attention to the pre-flight safety speech.
Yes, you’ve heard it all before, and you’ll probably never need it, but if you keep your headphones on during the pre-flight instructions or ignore the safety card, you’ll be missing out on information that could be vital in the event of a crash. Don’t assume you know it all already, either. Every type of airplane has different safety instructions. If you're sitting in an exit row, study the door and make sure you know how to open it if you need to. In normal circumstances the flight attendant will open the door, but if they are dead or injured, you'll need to do it.


STEP 4

Make a plan.
If the plane is going to crash, you almost always have several minutes to prepare before impact. Use this time to once again review where the exits are, and try to count the number of seats between your row and the exit row—that way you’ll know when you’ve reached the exit even if you can’t see it. Assess the situation as well as possible. Try to determine what surface the plane will land on so you can customize your preparations. If you’re going to be landing in water, for example, you’ll want to put your life vest on—don’t inflate it until you’re out of the plane—and if you’re going to be landing in cold weather, you should try to get a blanket or jacket to keep you warm once outside.
