The article in the link showed that Buhari only complains when Fulani people are killed. When Fulani people kill other people, he will never complain about the Fulani people. Buhari stated he could not do without his cows.

PoliticsWhy I Was Removed - Buhari by Physicist(op):
http://tempoonline.com.ng/reloaded-why-i-was-toppled-buhari/


It is now eight years since you left government why were you removed?

(laughter) I have certain principles below which I don’t operate. Some people see me as too tough to deal with. Those who are close enough to me know I am a very soft person. All I need is to understand you, but having understood you and I make up my mind, if it is a matter of principle, I don’t compromise. Look there was no point removing civilians, going over the air saying they were thieves, they give contracts or containers to their wives., contracts of a million were turned into N3 billion, or N35 million and then you come and do the same thing just because you are carrying a gun. That is armed robbery. If you do that you are an armed robber. You have stolen public property, because you are carrying a gun. Like with my colleagues, I thought they had shared all this philosophy with me including the fifth columnist and until they removed me, I was not entirely convinced that they had not. I was removed because certain members of my cabinet felt because they were in public office they were entitled to things other than what is specified in their terms and conditions of service. They know, me that I don’t compromise my personal or professional integrity. I tell them that at meetings. If they think I have done other things let them bring the facts now, I am free I can talk and they can talk. I think we are both in a position to do it.
PoliticsBuruji Kashamu Confirmed Indicted In America For Drug Deal By Fox News And AP. by Physicist(op): 4:49pm On Apr 16, 2015
Buruji Kashamu confirmed indicted in America for drug deal by Fox News and Associated Press

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/04/16/man-indicted-in-america-for-drug-deal-elected-senator-in-nigeria/?intcmp=latestnews

LAGOS, Nigeria – A man indicted in America for allegedly smuggling heroin in a court case that was the basis for the TV hit "The New Orange is Black" has been elected a senator in Nigeria.

Buruji Kashamu was little known before he returned home in 2003 from Britain -- despite a U.S. extradition order -- to become a major financier of President Goodluck Jonathan's party.

Election results posted late Wednesday identify Kashamu as a senator-elect in southwest Ogun state. Opponents are challenging his victory in court, saying ballots were rigged.

Kashamu, 56, hung up the phone twice when the AP called for comment on Thursday. Kashamu has said the 1998 indictment by a grand jury in the Northern District of Illinois for conspiracy to import and distribute heroin in the United States is a case of mistaken identity, He has said Chicago prosecutors really want the dead brother he closely resembles. A British court refused a U.S. extradition request in 2003, ruling there was uncertainty about Kashamu's identity.

A dozen people were long ago tried and jailed in the case, including American Piper Kerman, whose memoir about her jail time became the Netflix hit "Orange Is The New Black."

A Nigerian federal court last year ordered Kashamu's extradition, an order upheld by an appeals court. But Nigeria's government has not extradited him.

That failure to act caused Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president, to warn that "drug barons ... will buy candidates, parties and eventually buy power or be in power themselves."

Jonathan's perceived protection of Kashamu was a factor that led Obasanjo to defect before recent elections to the opposition that won most votes in Obasanjo's home state of Ogun. The results included the governorship and eight of 11 seats in the House of Assembly.

Kashamu is suing Obasanjo for libel over statements that Kashamu is a fugitive from U.S. justice. He had won a court order halting publication of Obasanjo's autobiography but a judge this week rescinded it, saying Kashamu had misled the court. Obasanjo's lawyer argued that the truth cannot be libel.

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator, has promised to wage war on corruption.

EducationOAU Produces 150 Phds, 127 First Class Holders by Physicist(op): 12:46am On Dec 09, 2014
http://www.punchng.com/education/oau-produces-150-phds-127-first-class-holders/

No fewer than 150 persons are to obtain doctoral degrees from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, this year, its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Bamitale Omole, has announced.

Omole, who announced this on Monday at a briefing to herald the 40th convocation of the university, also stated 127 undergraduates obtained first class from the institution.

The convocation ceremonies, according to him, will hold between December 10 and 12.

He said, “The Senate of the university has approved the graduation of 9,094 first degree graduates drawn from the 13 faculties in the university. The breakdown is as follows: 127 students made first class honours while 2,369 and 4,256 respectively made second-class upper and lower divisions. One thousand two hundred and thirty-two students made third class while 123 students would graduate with ordinary pass.

“For the postgraduate students, 394 will be conferred with postgraduate diplomas, 2,755 with master’s degrees, 73 with Masters of Philosophy while 150 will be conferred with Doctor of Philosophy degrees.”

The VC, who spoke on the challenges facing the institution, noted that its major issue was how to maintain its number one position in Nigeria and moving up the ladder in Africa.

According to Omole, the university has made history by becoming the first ivory tower to be rated the best in the country for three consecutive years on the Webometric ranking organised by the Cybermetrics Labs of Spain.

The VC said, “It is on record that the Obafemi Awolowo University is the leading university in Nigeria in Information Communication Technology with Internet access bandwidth of 600Mbps, which is the largest in the Nigerian university system.

HealthBaby Boy Gets Lead Poisoning From Nigerian Folk Remedy (tiro) by Physicist(op): 8:52am On Aug 03, 2012
A 6-month-old boy was treated for lead poisoning due to the use of the cosmetic known as "tiro," which is used as a folk remedy for promoting visual development, according to a report of the boy's case released today.
The baby was brought to Boston Children’s Hospital with elevated levels of lead in his blood in June 2011, according to the report from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The boy was born in the U.S. to Nigerian parents.
An investigation revealed the source of lead to be tiro, a powdery Nigerian cosmetic that had been applied to the infant's eyelids. Investigators had examined the family's home and found it was "in excellent condition, without lead hazards," according to the report. The baby was exclusively breast-fed, and was not given spices or supplements.
The powder was 82.6 percent lead, the report said.
The main source of lead poisoning in the U.S. is lead-based paint; however, other sources are increasingly being identified, the CDC said. Imported products such as spices, candy, cosmetics, health remedies, pottery and jewelry have all been implicated.
The case began when the baby's parents brought him to a pediatrician for a well-child visit. The doctor noted the cosmetic on the child's eyelids, and tested his blood for lead. The baby was treated with iron supplements, and referred for further testing at the hospital. The baby was growing well and developing normally, according to the report.
The parents stopped using the product, and follow-up blood tests showed the boy's lead levels were dropping.

The parents stopped using the product, and follow-up blood tests showed the boy's lead levels were dropping.
Tiro is also called "tozali" and "kwalli," and similar products called "surma" and "kajal" in Asia, and "kohl" in the Middle East, may also contain lead, the report said.
The powder has many uses as a folk remedy, the report said, including relieving eyestrain or pain, and preventing infections in a baby's umbilical cord stump or circumcision wound.
The case shows that certain groups of immigrants may be at higher risk of lead poisoning, the report said. "Educational efforts are needed to inform immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East that tiro and similar products can cause lead poisoning in children," the researchers wrote in their report. When children with elevated lead levels are brought for medical attention, health care workers should ask about eye cosmetics and folk remedies as a possible source, they said.
Lead is highly toxic and can damage body organs including the brain, kidneys and bone marrow. Young children are especially susceptible to lead because they tend to put things they find on floor in their mouths, and because of differences in their body functions, such as greater absorption in their guts, and still-developing central nervous systems, according to the CDC.

EducationRe: Maths Tricks, Questions And Brain Teasers by Physicist(m): 10:53pm On Feb 16, 2012
A large water tank has two inlet pipes (a large one and a small one) and one outlet pipe. It takes 2 hours to fill the tank with the large inlet pipe. On the other hand, it takes 6 hours to fill the tank with the small inlet pipe. The outlet pipe allows the full tank to be emptied in 8 hours.
What fraction of the tank (initially half-full) will be filled in 0.46 hours if all three pipes are in operation?


Big pipe fills  1/2  tank in 1 hour
Small pipe fills  1/6  tank in 1 hour
Outlet pipe reduces  1/8 tank in 1 hour
Water addition to tank  in 1 hour =(1/2  +  1/6  -1/cool  =  13/24  tank volume
Water addition to tank in 0.46 hour  = 0.46* (  13/24 )     =  46/100   *  (13/24)   =          598/2400 =  299/1200
Tank   initially half full =1/2 initially full or 600/1200 initially full
Tank fraction full after 0.46 hours  =   (600/1200)  + (299/1200)   =  899/1200.    Ans =899/1200                          
     
FamilyRe: 5 Things Every Extrovert Should Know About Introverts by Physicist(m): 5:13pm On Jan 02, 2012
@Kobojunkie

I need to thank you for posting this article. I would say I was 99% introvert and 1% extrovert as a child and teenager. I consider myself to be about 60% introvert and 40% extrovert now.  I need to be an extrovert in order to survive in my career in the corporate world. My experience is that extroverts in general tend to give too much trouble to introverts. This is probably because extroverts do not understand introverts. Many extroverts want introverts to be like them and behave like them. On the other hand, introverts give little or no problem to extroverts. Introverts tend to leave extroverts alone. Introverts do not want extroverts to be like them and behave like them. It will be great for extroverts, if they can just understand that not everyone is like them. Many times, introverts just want to be alone.
