Ajaokuta iron and steel rolling mills is the bedrock of industrialisation. One of my professor do say "show me a Nation that owns Iron and Steel and I will show you the Nation that rules the world". If Ajaokuta steel company can be revitalised, then Nigeria would be enlisted as a Great manufacturing nation and would increase the GDP of the Nation's economy.
I would end by saying that "true progress in any field is a relay race and not a single event"
God grant Nigeria leaders wisdom
God bless Nigeria

That's so sad, almost at d edge of their crossing over, may they not do a minute silence for us, click LIKE to show ur Amen.

PDP,- people decieving people, is this how, they want to rule us? Let's stop decieving ourselves does Nigeria have any serious politician who is proactive and God fearing?

Nigeria- a place where strange things never sieze

If there were no metals, what would the Aircraft body be made from, our various electrical appliances and some electronic gadget?,(without copper inbetween the wires and silver as a conductor), without metals, would there be conductors at all?

Have you ever imagined how the world would be without metals and metals product?, Generally materials are broadly classified into products gotten from Agriculture or Mining. Peradventure this metals where never mined or processed, how then would the world be? Please I want every body to contribute to this, let's see how important the use of metals is in your environment and if it were'nt there, what would have been the substitue/alternative?

Below are the list of some wealthly billionaries private jets


15. Bombardier Challenger 600 Series

 

Cost:$25 millionOwner: Gautam SinghaniaIndian billionaire Gautam Singhania was born into an industrial family, and he’s the chairman of Raymond Corp, an Indian fabric and clothing manufacturer and retailer. However, he’s more famous for his love of fast cars, boats, and planes. This one, a Challenger business jet, has an interior designed by world renowned aircraft interior designer Eric Roth. (I don’t remember “aircraft interior designer” being a choice on those interest tests they made us take in high school.)


14. Embraer Legacy 650

 

Cost: $29 million
Owner: Jackie Chan
China is an emerging market for luxury business jets, so Brazilian aerospace conglomerate Embraer S.A. decided they would try to make inroads by giving a customized Legacy 650 to China’s most famous movie star, Jackie Chan, and making him their “brand ambassador.” The jet has gold and red dragons painted on the side, and the tail features a special “Jackie” logo…so you know who’s flying around in it.
13. Dassault Falcon 900

 

Cost: $33 million
Owner: Sergio Mantegazza
Spaniard Sergio Mantegazza is the CEO of Globus, an international tour and travel package company. He’s also one of the 400 or so most wealthy people in the world, so he can definitely afford the Dassault Falcon 900. With 7 passengers, this jet has a range of 4,598 miles at a cruising speed of 590 mph. So it’ll get you where you need to go.

12. Gulfstream IV

 

Cost: $35 million
Owner: KP Singh
The first of three Gulfstreams on this list is owned by Indian real estate baron KP Singh. This one was built from 1985 to 2003, has a range of about 4,800 miles, and a top speed of 580 mph. Oh, and two beds, a shower, and a “luxury” living space—though I’d say that pretty much any “living space” that is used at 35,000 feet out to be considered “luxury.”
11. Gulfstream G550

 

Cost: $36 million
Owner: Phillip Green
The Gulfstream G550 makes the Gulfstream IV look like a clunker. It won’t get you where you want to go any faster because it has the same top speed and the same cruising speed, more or less. But it can take you a lot farther. Like, 3,000 miles further. (Range: 7,768 miles.) I assume that’s why British billionaire businessman Phillip Green went with this one instead of one of Gulfstream’s older models.
10. Bombardier BD-700 Global Express

 

Cost: $45 million
Owner: Bill Gates
This jet seats between 8 and 19 people and has a massive range of 7,080 miles. Also, it just has a cool name—the Global Express.
9. Embraer Lineage 1000

 

Cost: $49.25 million
Owner: Jorge Vergara
Embraer took their 190 passenger jet, took out a bunch of seats, added extra fuels tanks, and glitzed up the interior to come up with the Lineage 1000 back in 2006. It seats just 19 people (not many for a commercial airliner-sized jet), but it also has room for a bedroom and bathroom. Plus, those extra fuel tanks give it a range of 5,179 miles. Oh, and Jorge Vergara is a mexican businessman who also happens to own Mexican soccer team Club Deportivo Guadalajara and Chivas USA.

8. Dassault Falcon 7X

 

Cost: $50 million
Owner: Anil Ambani, Bill Clinton, Steven Spielberg
The Falcon 7X is Dassault’s “flagship” business jet. It hit the market in 2005 and costs a cool $50 million—so you need to be pretty rich to own this one. Of course, if you can afford it, the Falcon 7X can take you and 13 of your closest friends up to 6,800 miles away. (So, Bill Clinton and 13 Hooters waitresses can go from New York to LA and back again with gas to spare.)

7. Gulfstream G650

 

Cost: $65 million
Owner: Warren Buffet, Ralph Lauren, Oprah, David Geffen, Pierre Omidyar
This is the latest offering from Gulfstream—announced in 2008 but still in testing and not yet available to the public. When it is finally released, it will be the fastest and most technologically advanced private jet in the world, with a top speed of 704 mph. Gulfstream is currently taking orders, but demand is so high they’ve capped them at 200, and people are actually selling their place in line for as much as $6 million. At the top of the list, reportedly, are Hollywood mogul David Geffen and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. But apparently Warren Buffet, Ralph Lauren, and Oprah Winfrey are also dying to get their hands on this super fast superjet.
6. Boeing Business Jet 2

 

Cost: $73 million
Owner: Mukesh Ambani
When you’re chairman of a Fortune Global 500 conglomerate and worth an estimated $22 billion, you can afford to buy a flying hotel. And the Boeing Business Jet 2 certainly is that, with a thousand square feet, a bedroom, a boardroom, and an executive suite.
5. Airbus A319 ACJ

 

Cost: $81 million
Owner: Vijay Mallya
Vijay Mallya is chairman of the UB Group, which is an Indian conglomerate that owns, among other things, Kingfisher Airlines. So you would expect this guy to have a kick-Bottom private plane. And he does. The Airbus A318 ACJ seats 24 adn can fly from Mumbai to the U.S. with a single refueling stop, which is convenient. However, Mallya spent $40 million customizing the interior of this baby so that it’s basically a luxurious airborne mobile home. Why not, right?




3. Boeing 747-8I VIP

 

Cost: $153 million
Owner: Joseph Lau
I know what you’re thinking: Boeing 747s are private jets. And generally that’s true…unless you’re Hong Kong real estate tycoon Joseph Lau, and you’re worth about $5 billion. Then a Boeing 747—the type of jet that used to carry the space shuttle on its back—can be a private plane. Why would you need a jet that can seat 450 people for a private plane? Just because, I guess.



2. Boeing 767 33A

 

Cost: $120-$170 million
Owner: Roman Abramovic, Google founders
If you’re the 68th richest person in the world (Roman Abramovic) and you own a world-famous soccer team (Chelsea), then why not get a Boeing 767 that can usually accomodate 180 to 300 passengers? You can use it to transport the team from game to game. However, I don’t know why Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin would need a jet of this size.

1. Airbus A380

 

Cost: $500 million
Owner: Prince Alwaleed bin Talal
The most expensive private jet ever created is scheduled to be delivered this year to Prince Alwaleed bin Tala of—you guessed it—Saudi Arabia. The double-decker behemoth is said to feature a garage for two Rolls-Royces (or, I presume, some other luxury automobiles), a stable for horses and camels (did I mention he’s a Saudi prince?), a pen for hawks, and a prayer room that rotates so as to always face Mecca.

Slot?"

Priest : "Like this?" (as he touches her hand)
Girl : "Yes father."
Priest : "That's no reason to call a man a son of a slot."
Girl : "Then he touched my breast."
Priest : "Like this?" (as he touched her breast)
Girl : "Yes father."
Priest : "That's no reason to call him a son of a slot."

I made a personal decision not to post any thing here again as regard supp. list(when is out everybody will see and hear about it) due to expectants emotional state and the incomprehensibility of UNILAG mgt. However, as one that give you infos here that are not guesses or "hearsay" I wish 2 state here and categorically too that u pray more, not necessarily to make the list, but that your name should be retain or not displace if u've already made the list. To buttress that, you already made Economics list and just some hours ago a so-called more powerful person comes with a name for Econs when d list is full. What happen? your name that already made d list is extracted and thrown at Early Child Hood Education. What will you be doing with such 'bleep' course? Hope u 'code' what i mean.
Don't ask me any question on that, too busy to answer, I beg u.

In surmise, Pray, pray, and pray, d earlier it is release d better for some people
