16.) What the exam hall look like;

This is LAUTECH SIFAX Hall. I received my 100 level lectures there.

The Ministry of Sports has explained that it sanctioned the appointment of Chelsea star, John Obi Mikel, as Team Nigeria’s captain to the Rio Olympics because it was made to understand that the position went beyond the individual’s Olympic pedigree.
There has been uproar in some quarters over the choice of Mikel as captain when there are such Olympic veterans as Segun Toriola, Funke Oshonaike and Blessing Okagbare in the team. But a sports ministry official told The Guardian yesterday that the uproar was unnecessary and capable of causing disharmony in the camp.
The official, who pleaded anonymity, said, “we were looking for someone that would be recognizable by every sports follower and in Team Nigeria nobody has such qualities better than Mikel.
“Sentiments apart, Mikel is one athlete that every sports lover, from China to the Bahamas, will easily recognise, so we chose him. It is purely for publicity purposes because we want to sell Nigeria to other countries at the Olympics.
“Toriola, Oshonaike and Okagbare have served Nigeria meritoriously and we recognise that. They are true patriots and we don’t think that not being the captain of the team would make them less patriotic.”
He dismissed the argument that Mikel would not be an effective captain since he will not be with other athletes at the Games Village, adding, “we have Oshonaike as the assistant team captain and she was picked for the position because she has the experience to do the job.
“The football team is not in the Games Village because of their schedule, but that does not mean that Mikel would not have any contact with the rest of the team. We plead that people do not say things that are capable of disrupting the harmony in the team.”
Meanwhile, Mikel has expressed his willingness to sacrifice for the success of Team Nigeria in Rio, saying he is overwhelmed by the decision to name him captain of the team. Speaking from the U23 team’s camp in Atlanta, Georgia, Mikel told thenff.com: “This is the highest accolade you can ever have as a sportsman and it’s one I am really looking forward to.
“I am much pleased and very happy with myself for what I have been able to achieve, and grateful to the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports and the entire country for this opportunity.
“My objective is definitely going to be to carry everyone along. I think it’s important that we all work together, it’s important that we all set one goal, and that goal is to be successful, to win medals, to make sure we get gold medals. Our country has not done very well in recent times at the Olympics, so hopefully we can go to Rio and do well.”
On the burden his appointment has placed on him, Mikel who is also the captain of the Super Eagles said: “It’s massive, it’s big, it’s not just the football team. I am the captain of the Super Eagles. Sometimes you look at it and you think that’s a big burden, but this is even much bigger, it’s one that I am looking forward to.
“If you look at my track record at Chelsea, I have always played for the team, I have always been a team player, I have never been an individual player, so I think this is something I will be carrying into the Olympics and carry into Team Nigeria to make sure that we are successful.”
On this being his first Olympics, the 29-year-old midfielder said: “I don’t think it will be a disadvantage. I think leadership is either you have it or you don’t. Sometimes, people grow into leadership and sometimes people are born with leadership qualities. I think I have always been in that leading role since my U-17 days, even when not wearing the captain’s band, I have always had people looking up to me to carry the team.”

They ain't looking down at how the less privileged are faring... I hope they will soon receive sense

The Institute of Strategic Management, ISMN, of Nigeria has said recession is good for the development and the expansion of the country’s economy.
This was disclosed at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday to announce its 2016 Conference and Annual General Meeting to be presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Describing recession as a natural consequence, the 1st Vice-President, ISMN, Mr. Gbenga Oluniyi, said recession was good and necessary to make the country to exploit other capacities inherent in the economy.
Oluniyi said, “What is happening now is a natural consequence where you just have to find a way. The current government technically admitted that we are in a recession. To be in a recession is not completely a bad thing; it drives you to think out of the box.
“The institute is happy with what is happening now because we really have not been thinking. We have been lazy. The Raw Materials Research and Development Council had carried out studies that in every state of Nigeria, you can find minerals that can be explored and exploited on commercial basis.
“This is not being done by the government. We are beginning to see the government look inward now. Absolute reliance on one product to sustain the Federal Government, the 36 states and 774 Local Government Areas is not sustainable.
“One, we are not in control of the price of crude oil. Two, we are not adding value to the crude. So, crude oil has become more or less a curse rather than a blessing. So, we believe that this is a temporary situation and the states are beginning to rise up to the challenge.”
He added, “Sincerely speaking, we have about 27 states out of the 36 states of the federation in a very difficult situation. The question we should ask ourselves is what have the remaining nine states done differently to keep above troubled waters.
“Ogun State is not an oil producing state. The state decided to leverage its proximity to Lagos and today, the fastest growing industrialisation in Nigeria is taking place in Ogun State. You don’t hear of labour unrest in the state because salaries are being paid as at and when due.
“Ordinarily, from revenue allocation, Ogun State is one of the states that should be complaining. Other states can also begin to look inwards. Whatever comes from the centre should actually be a bonus to the states.”

lefulefu:
check ur post again that i quoted.i edited it for u

Yep. "The Nigerian Woman"

lefulefu:
u forgot to add dat one

What's that?

kstix:
does dora akunyili ring any bell to u? Even okonjo iweala under d scrutiny of obasanjo was top notch. If not that jonathan was too complacent and she had to go with ''if u cant beat them,join them'' slogan. Just because there a few bad eggs doesnt mean there are no good ones. Do u know how many corrupt men embezzled 20 times what madueke and oduah embezzled? Change this backward mindset that all women go to places of power to embezzle. I gave u dora and alot of women out there being suppressed by men like u who feel threatened by their brilliance coz they are women.

I'm not a misogynist and my comment ain't misogynistic. But we all know politicians and their ways... They have something in common and that's the ability and will to LIE. Dora wasn't a politician when she was at NAFDAC, she was an activists as I would say. Someone even commented that when Hillary Clinton moves her lips, she's momentarily lying and she changes whenever the public does. Meaning she is too flexible to be a president just like Jonathan was

Part of the pleasure of This Is Acting , then, comes from the game of matching songs to their could-have-been singers. The risk is that people will infer that this is the reject pile. Sia's openness about the songs' background signals either great confidence that they will overcome that stigma or a cynical assumption that our fascination with ­celebrity interplay is the most powerful attractor of all. More meta yet, the album opens with "Bird Set Free," which comes across as a recap of Sia's career and a manifesto for her self-realization as a songwriter: "I found myself in my melodies ... I'll shout it out like a bird set free." Pitch Perfect 2 and Rihanna reportedly turned it down; Adele recorded it but ultimately left it and other offerings by Sia off her 25 album.
Along with several other Acting tracks, "Bird" was produced by Greg Kurstin, who also worked on "Hello" and other 25 tunes; it's underscored by a rolling piano line that would have been at home there. Likewise, Acting 's first single, "Alive," was co-written with the British diva and has a similar outsize-chorus catharsis. But it's a bloodier, more ragged performance than Adele would chance -- when Sia hits the high notes, her voice twists like a metal singer's. This sense of hazard recalls her last album, 1000 Forms of Fear , and the one song here that Sia has said she wrote for herself, "One Million Bullets," is also reminiscent of that record's moods. Of the darker songs on Acting , it's the one you want on repeat.
After a few songs, though, the listener begins to worry that since these tracks were all intended as singles, there will be no relief from huge choruses and banging beats. An electronic-marching-band effect comes like an onslaught in "Move Your Body," reportedly written for Shakira , overwhelming what could have been a much more sinuous dance track. By the time one gets to "Unstoppable," which sounds like a Katy Perry reject, Sia's boast that she'll never cease sounds more like a threat.The good news is that in the middle, there are two lighter, wittier tunes that Sia has said were meant for Rihanna: "Reaper" (co-penned by
Kanye West ) and "Cheap Thrills." The bad news is that with the five songs that follow, This Is Acting actually starts sounding like the scrap heap. Sia has admitted with refreshing honesty that she writes songs by playing Mad Libs with lists of phrases she stores on her phone; the worst case here is "House on Fire," in which she sings, "I'm a house on fire, and I want to keep burning," over what sounds like bad video-game music.
Despite a few highlights, This Is Acting is scattered and forgettable next to the emotional 1000 Forms of Fear . Yes, Sia is upfront that it's more impersonal. It's all part of the concept, but that is no excuse; David Bowie's recent death reminded us how theatrical and constructed pop can be without turning glib. Sia has been an intriguing enough figure in music that it's a letdown to hear her do hack work. That isn't acting -- it's just affectation.

kstix:
Although i'm not really in support of her because the clintons and bushs just want to keep recycling power in their family and some of her policies in the past were controversial but i Hope Nigeria can do the same against all the odds of gender bias in africa towards the women's role being restricted to just the kitchen. Lots of women can accomplish greater things than some men. I hope we emulate this.

Yeah, greater things. Just like Alison Madueke embezzled more than what Bill Gates is worth. The fear of women is the end of wisdom

Rex123:
Yes! At times the tone on a leader is very important, that why things trump says are considered inflammatory! He has made himself look like the putin most americans want!

Yeah, the tone is important important. As APC defeated the counterparts with the "Change" slogan... Only time will tell the winner tho

Rex123:
The democrats better unite! They shouldn't expect this election to be a easy one for them! The momentum Trump is pulling is amazing. if they dont play their cards well the republican might just win!

I personally like Trump's attitude towards national security and that's what everyone wanna hear, you know? I hope the better candidate wins cuz they all lie

Perfectdanny:
I personally wish you the best. Wish it were in Nigeria

Nigeria ke? #Amunimuye people from the lady's village would have been against her since... Raw Africa for you

modelmike7:
Here comes the first female President in USA !

And America hates her cuz she blows with the favorable wind direction. Trump has the same reputation but I think he's better than Clinton on the long run

Hillary Clinton became the first woman in history to win the White House nomination of a major US political party Tuesday, securing the backing of Democrats at a convention in Philadelphia.
The former first lady, senator and secretary of state took a monumental step on her quest to become American’s first female president, by besting party challenger Bernie Sanders.
After a tumultuous convention opening which saw Sanders and Clinton supporters trade jeers and chants, Clinton passed the 2,382-delegate threshold needed for the nomination, setting up a showdown with Republican Donald Trump in November.
“History,” said a post on her Twitter account.
Although the outcome was a foregone conclusion, the state-by-state vote saw rowdy displays on the convention floor.
Some diehard Sanders delegates expressed frustration with their candidate’s defeat, but the divisions seen were much less pronounced than on Monday.
Clinton’s nomination was formally put forward by Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the longest serving woman in the history of the US Congress.
Civil rights icon John Lewis, a congressman from Georgia, seconded the nomination.
‘Show a little class’
The Clinton camp is looking to unite the party’s factions.
Monday saw disruptive protests and a rancorous fight over leaked emails that showed party bias against Sanders. Frustration boiled over as his delegates jeered speakers who mentioned Clinton.
Vice President Joe Biden, who will address the convention Wednesday along with President Barack Obama, dismissed concerns the party was not uniting behind Clinton.
“We’ve got to show a little class and let them be frustrated for a while. It’s OK,” he said of Sanders supporters as he toured the convention arena Tuesday.
Sanders meanwhile called on his supporters to get behind Clinton.
“What we must do, or forever look back in regret, is defeat Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton,” he said Tuesday while addressing the California delegation.
“In my view, it’s easy — it’s easy to boo, but it is harder to look your kids in the face who would be living under a Donald Trump presidency,” he said.
Trump took the usual shots at Clinton during a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Charlotte, North Carolina, calling her “Crooked Hillary” and charging that her use of a private email account as secretary of state “put America’s entire national security at risk.”
A Clinton campaign official said Tuesday’s convention events aim to draw a sharp contrast with Trump. The line-up of speakers will talk about her life-long fights to make a difference.
Chief among them will be former president Bill Clinton, who will take the stage during primetime to hail his wife as a “change-maker,” the official said.
But Clinton and the others — including mothers who have lost children to gun violence or in clashes with police — will also have the unstated mission of mending fences with Sanders’ army of vocal young activists.
