The English Premier League is one of the most exciting football leagues in the world. Thus, it is unsurprising that many Nigerians are addicted to it.

Every weekend, viewing centres are filled out with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City among other EPL clubs. It is, therefore, near impossible to end the attachment of Nigerians to the premier league. Nonetheless, Jumia Travel identifies 5 reasons Nigerians should stop watching the EPL.

The Nigerian League is now exciting and better organized

Since the league management body started managing the Nigerian League, they have made concerted efforts to make the league more exciting and interesting. They have ensured that the stadiums are TV friendly and the players and fans obey rules and regulation. Most importantly, the matches are on Pay TV. This has encouraged players to give out their best and you now see a Nigerian league player scoring a hat-trick.

You get real life stadium experience in the NPFL

To watch a Nigerian League match is very affordable and inexpensive. You don’t have to break the bank. Except you have a deep pocket, you cannot travel the England to watch Arsenal. So, with the NPFL, you can watch Kano Pillars live in Kano or watch Remo Stars in Sagamu. You get the stadium experience.

You can support professionally run private clubs

Unlike in the past when the 20 clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League are government owned, there are now privately owned clubs that are professionally managed. We have The Mountain of Fire Football Club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC, and Remo stars. You can support these clubs because they churn out EPL like football week in, week out.

Nigerian Stadiums are safe

Many Nigerians have the mindset that whenever they visit the stadium, they will be harassed and waylaid. This is in the past. They are now safe because it is now incumbent on clubs to provide security for fans and players alike.

We will support our own

Nigerians don’t seem to support their own. Like they have a knack for foreign products, it is the same for football. Even the Nigerian Super Eagles team is coached by a foreigner. We stop watching the premier league and support the Nigerian league by going to stadiums to watch their favorite Nigerian club.

I received a text massage from DSE Benin for recruitment screening on the 30th of January 2017.
When I got the text massage, I kept wondering when I applied for the job. I immediately did a quick online search for what DSE- Benin stand for and I couldn't find anything like that on the net.so, I showed my friend the text and he too has not heard of such name in Benin city.. nevertheless, he advised me to try them out. The next day 31st, another friend o mind came to see and while we were discussing, I observed he dressed fine, so asked him, this one u dress like this so, where to?? He laughed and said, I get interview close by 9am. I asked him, 9am? Where?.. Na new company, close by,na DSE Benin..ah!!! DSE Benin ! I received the same text and its 9am this morning.. I'm not going, na 419..I wasn't interested because I didn't apply for the job but on a second thought, I have given out my CVs to one or two persons maybe they most have helped me to applied for the job that I don't know of..so, I got dressed and we drove down there together..
By 9:05am we arrived at the place along airport road. Funny enough, they office is not too far from my shop and house.I was wondering how come such a company is located here and I have never heard or seen them.
When we entered the hall, two guys asked for the text message we received before we can be allowed into the hall..we showed the them the texts and we went in to filled our names, code and phone numbers before been ushered into another smal hall.
When I entered into the hall there were many others persons already sited. I quickly do a count and observed we were about 26.
About 10 :17am, we were given question papers to write a test that lasted for another 45mins.
When we finished the test, we were told to wait. We waited for like 15mins before one guy came in and introduced to us a beautiful babe who used another of our 45 to one hour plus to talk to us about company core- values and personal core- values. By this time I was already getting impatient and really pissed up when I wanted to ask the lady a question and she refused. She kept asking us but refused to take qusetions.That she will not be taking questions that someone higher than her is coming to answer all our questions...
Man!! Finally ,the moment we are been anticipating for came.

we were made to claps five times, four times, three times , two times and once for over five mins before the "smallish guy" came in and eventually, she introduced to us the Boss, MD, of DSE..
The Boss started to talk about how he suffered looking for a job when him graduated. Godhelped him to get a job with DSE in delta state and today he is the Boss, employer of many workers.
This guy talked and talked that at this point, some persons started leaving the hall... He saw the reaction and mode, he quickly said that was the same thing that happened when he got invited last years in delta. He didn't not apply for the job and when came for the interview, he was choosed because he stayed and enudred till the end.
He told us that DSE means Divine Source Empire, that specialises in training young men and women as nutritionists and that the head of office is in Lagos, and he was transferred from delta state to head the new office in Benin.
He siad DSE is runs as franchise to ameriaca center of Disease control(ACDC ). And Standard America board (SAB)
He said we will be trained as Nutritionist and be given a lincese as certified trained Nutritionist (CTN) who be employe by them to go to corporte companies to solicites for customs.and we will be paid in dollars..
He told us only few of us will be taked.by this time 1:45pm, we were now 18 of us left. He Asked us" if you know u want this form", stand up?all except two ladies that were sited. 16 of us came and queue up to collect the form,when i saw the struggled in the front roll, I left the queue and went to the back sit ti sit and wacth the whole senaror. He called me and asked me if i wanted to go? I said no, that am tired and simply apologised and said we will soon be done..He brought out the forms and said when he got the job last year, he paid 13k and now we will made to pay 15k .. Almost at the same time, we all chorus!! 15k?? The two ladies got angried and left the hall..
Before he started giving the forms out, wrote on the board the typy of persons he can't work with.
the proud, the right, the greedy..he said can't work with such persons.
When he saw no one except one man that signified to pay the 15k , he decided and said OK, u can pay instalmentally.. Some promised to pay 5k,10k before the close of the day by 4pm.. He wrote the various amount on the forms and gave it to them.I went to my friend and wispered to his eyes, " Guy am not paying anything ooo...He smile and said abi! No wahala!! I go give it a try.. He collected the form and wrote 3k. He filled the form and we left 2: 37pm..
I saw my friend this morning and he told me they have been calling him to come pay his money to join his mates for the training.. He has changed his mind now. That he will not be going back there again....

From your response I can deduce that you don't know a lot about writing.. since you can differentiate simplistic writing from creative composure.. so there is no profit trying to draw a worthy perception from you.. since you read articles with a mediocre POV.

Facts About Possible Faster than Light Space Travel

My attention has been drawn to the inaccuracy of many nairalanders on the subject of “Space Travel” especially to educate those who are ignorant of the Advancing technology to make this a reality.

First off I’d begin by explaining what an Alcubierre Drive is.

An Alcubierre also known as Alcubierre metric or warp drive is an idea based on a solution of Einstein’s field equation in general relativity. It is a mathematical model of a viable space time travel means proposed by Miguel Alcubierre a renowned Scientist, by which a Space Craft, Ship or Vessel could achieve faster than light travel within a relatively short time.

An Alcubierre drive uses a configurable high “energy density field” in the form of negative mass to traverse distances by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it; rather than exceeding the speed of light within the space time vacuum.

To simply explain an Alcubierre one must understands Einstein’s Law of special relativity E=mc2,
Here, c is the maximum speed at which all matter and hence all information in the Universe can travel. It is the speed at which all massless particles travel in a vacuum regardless of the motion of the source or frame of the observer. C interrelates space and time and appears in the famous equation E=mc2 as mass – energy equivalence.
Note the use of the word vacuum to denote space time relative to speed.

From Einstein’s theory it would be almost virtually impossible with our current or near future tech to achieve such speeds (accelerating a spaceship with massive amounts of energy to a near massless light speed state in the vacuum of space). Even if we had this speed energies, it would be another challenge to slow down the race of these energies when we’ve reached our desired destination without being obliterated.

The Alcubierre drive operates on the principles of a negative energy density through a combination of expensive and exotic matter and antimatter particles to create a “warp bubble” enabling space time to move around the object rather than the object moving in space time as opposed to SOL travel.

In other words, any human travelling by Einstein’s SOL means, would feel the full effects of high gravitational force speed pressure while Alcubierre FTL would move space around the object repositioning it.
How? You may Ask, is derived from the fact that nothing exceeds the speed of light except space which can expand and contract at any speed.

In effect Faster-than-Light travel is a manipulation of space rather than speed thereby still obeying Einstein’s Law of Physics.

While NASA and other space agencies are working harder to build an effective model with the need to create large quantities of negative energy particles for this feat, here is hope that this loophole in general relativity would allow us go places really fast as measured by both Earth observers and observers on the spaceship measured in weeks or months as opposed to hundred – thousands of years.

Such a trip to Alpha Centauri (Proxima) which is 4.3 light years away would take 2 weeks with an Alcubierre drive.
P.S: So whenever you hear 100 or 1000 light years my friends no fear, one day we’ll get there. I pray I’d be reincarnated to pilot a ship.

I believe in the human race.

FTL - faster than Light
SOL - Speed of Light

Nigerian Cinema In a Nutshell
~ By David Parkinson, from Nigeria - A film industry of size and ambition
WORLD TOUR .
28th April 2014

Despite a sluggish start, Nigerian cinema was building on solid foundations when a parallel video sector launched in the early 1990s so fired the public imagination that Nollywood developed into the world's second biggest film industry.

Delving Deeper

A Few Firsts
Colonial film units were responsible for such early outings as Messrs. J. Walkden's Store (1923). Lever Brothers sponsored several shorts, including Tour Through Nigeria, while Angus Buchanan also traversed the country in Crossing the Great Sahara (both 1924). The first drama seems to have been Geoffrey Barkas's Palaver: A Romance of Northern Nigeria (1926), while the documentary Black Cotton (1927) prompted Graham Ball to shoot a number of travelogues and health official William Sellers to embark upon such educationals as Anti-Plague Operations, Lagos (1937).

Pioneers
Sellers hardly had an enlightened view of Africa and the Nigerian Film Unit was established in 1949 to help decentralise colonial film production. Instructional and propagandist titles like Sydney Samuelson's Giant in the Sun (1959) preoccupied federal and local units beyond independence in 1960. But Adamu Halilu became the first indigenous film-maker with the documentaries It Pays to Care (1955) and Hausa Village (1958), while Segun Olusola's My Father's Burden (1961) became the first short drama and Edward James Horatio's Two Men and a Goat (1966) the first feature.

Francis Oladele also established himself as Nigeria's first important producer, as he hired African-American Ossie Davis to direct the Wole Soyinka adaptation Kongi's Harvest (1970) and the German Hans Jürgen Pohland to rework Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart (1971) for his Calpenny company, which was soon competing against Sanya Dosumu's Starling Films, Ladi Ladebo's Cineventures and Afrocult, which was owned by Nigeria's most lauded talent, Ola Balogun.

Ola Balogun.
Having cut his teeth as a scriptwriter at the Federal Ministry of Information and trained at the IDHEC film school in Paris, Balogun debuted with the civil war documentary, One Nigeria (1969). Following his feature bow, Alpha (1972), he directed Amadi (1975) and Ajani Ogun (1976), which were respectively the first films in the Igbo and Yoruba languages. The latter starred Adeyemi Afolayan, who also headlined Balogun's Ija Ominira (1977) before starting his own directorial career with Kadara (1978), while Chief Herbert Ogunde also moved behind the camera for Jaiyesimi (1980) after headlining Balogun's Aiye (1979), which shaped the Nigerian horror tradition.

As well as making Music Man (1976) in English, Balogun also travelled to Brazil to shoot Black Goddess (1978) in Portuguese and to Ghana to complete his treatise on Pan-African colonialism, Cry Freedom (1981). However, he remained true to his roots in Yoruba travelling theatre and the satire Money Power (1982) has been cited as a key influence on the emerging Nollywood style.

His greater influence was on such contemporaries as Eddie Ugbomah, Oyewole Olowomojuore and Yomi Ogunmola, whose features began appearing in foreign festivals in the 1980s, and new generation talents like Branwen Okpako (Valley of Innocence, 2003), who is one of the few Nigerian women film-makers, Jeta Amata (The Amazing Grace, 2006), Newton I. Aduaka (Ezra, 2007) and Andrew Dosunmu (Mother of George, 2013).

Video Boom
According to Nollywood legend, Kenneth Nnebue decided to start making his own movies because he had a surplus stock of videocassettes. However, Nnebue was shrewd enough to pack Chris Obi Rapu's Living in Bondage (1992) with TV icons and distribute it exclusively on tape.

When the Faustian drama reportedly sold 200,000 copies, dozens of other aspiring directors aped its roughly shot, largely improvised and hammily acted style and distributors were soon shifting thousands of videos daily, with films costing 3 million Naira taking around 10 million Naira (roughly $75,000) in their first week of release.

Wrapped in 3-5 days, pictures like Amaka Igwe's Rattlesnake (1994), Chika Onukwufor's True Confession (1995) and Chico Ejiro's Onome (1996) tackled such everyday themes as prejudice, injustice, forbidden love and corruption in a melodramatic manner that allowed violence, religious extremism, mythology and sorcery to crop up in the most seemingly realistic scenarios. Many films employed cheap special effects, but audiences were less interested in escapism than in such bleak reflections of their troubled society as Tade Ogidan's Hostages and Fred Amata's Dust to Dust (both 1997).

Nollywood Goes Global
Although Nnebue quit to preach the Bible, Nollywood continued to thrive under the Alaba cartel and it's estimated that some 11,000 full-length features were produced for VHS and V-CD between 1992 and 2009, with Kingsley Ogoro's Osuofia in London (2003), Amaka Igwe's Violated (2004) and Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen's Games Women Play (2005) being among the bestsellers.

Nigeria currently averages four times as many movies as France and twice as many as China and Japan. Indeed, only India can surpass its phenomenal prolificity. Yet front-rank directors like Tade Ogidan, Tunde Kelani and the brothers Zeb and Chico Ejiro and A list stars like Geneviève Nnaji, Ramsey Nouah, Mercy Johnson, Nkem Owoh and Kate Henshaw-Nuttal are barely known outside the country and its disapora.

This owes much to the fact that the often lurid storylines lack the sophistication to appeal to international audiences and the growing reliance on sexual themes and violence committed against women and children looks unlikely to improve matters. Much more popular are dramas featuring religious cranks and corrupt politicians, as audiences like to see sins being committed before they are punished.

Equally sought are juju witchcraft sagas like Tunde Kelani's Ti Oluwa Nile (1993), Zeb Ejiro's Sakobi - The Snake Girl (1997) and Chucks Mordi and Kingsley Kerry's horror romp, Bleeding Rose (2007).

Kannywood and Decline?
Competition briefly came from the Hausa-language industry based in the northern town of Kano. But, while annual Kannywood output grew to 150 features (the best of which were masala-style musicals), directors like Abdulkarim Mohammed, Ado Ahmed and Ali Nuhu were viewed with deep suspicion by the upholders of Sharia Law and, soon after a sex tape was released of actress Maryam Usman in 2007, production was subjected to stringent censorship.

Nollywood occasionally has similar problems with officialdom, but piracy has proved a much bigger issue and distributors are increasingly offering on-demand services. New names continue to emerge, including Kunle Afolayan, Teco Benson, Mahmood Ali-Balogun and Obi Emelonye, whose Echoes of War (2004) became the first Nollywood feature to secure a UK theatrical release.

Even though the industry was valued at 853.9 billion Naira (or $5.1 billion) in April 2014, many are concerned that Nollywood has plateaued and could easily fall into the hands of opportunistic hacks or religious fanatics.

i am not talking about that, in the 80s we laugh at taiwan and korean products today thier product is to expensive to buy just like japanese product can u touch that one?

I was privileged to meet and sit with a very top government official today in his house. Due to the uncertainty of job opportunities these days, he asked me to come up with any good business idea or invention that will generate money and he is ready to finance it.
Please if you have anything on the table, let me know so that we form a partnership and I present it to him. This is 100% sure connection please

VickyRotex:
What brings Africans into this now?

You guys should try to understand a comment before quoting.

My comment wasnt about "Post" election. It's about the election itself. It's about the difference in margin. It was close enough. What I simply meant is that, they all wanted different things, with no sore loser.

Going by the number of election vote counts itself Note: I dont mean

"Electoral College vote" Clinton is actually leading with about 200k votes. So you see the small gap.

If it was by vote counts, so far, Clinton would have won.

CSTR13:
I like Ibe kachukwu. He seems a very intelligent man that knows what needs to be done- a trait very rare in this present administration.
He impressed me when he took the clueless amaechi to the cleaners at the niger-delta summit. And has poven to be the brightest light in this dire government.
Governor Okowa should learn from his own [Ika] kin on how to be effective.

In February this year I resigned from my former place of work due to some issues in the company and since they couldn't meet up with staffs full salary again I decided to leave and face my personal business.
As we all know the situation in the company now my business is not going as expected , as a trained auditor/Internal control I have to start to looking for auditing contract which I have been doing to feed my family though it comes once in 2 months .
one of the Owners of the private company that i do audit called me month ago and asked me if I can work for me which I quickly agreed because I was desperate in looking for another job, The company is in east of the. country and my family members are in Lagos
This man has been looking for apartment for me and he wants me to resume immediately the apartment is ready he trust me a lot, we have known each since 2012 when we handed parts my old company to him is been nice to me even thought is a IBO man and am a Yoruba, I just want to work for him.
3 months ago, I was called for an interview in a new Multinational company owns by Lebanese , the company has many Branches in Africa . 2 of us went for the interview and we both performed excellently and the Manager who is a Lebanese says he wanted both of us but the salary will be divided into 2 . I told the man to pick anyone of us as 2 people cannot be equal .
Firstly ....We don't have the same qualification .am a graduate and he's not but seem this white people don't consider qualification .
2ndly, I have more experience than the other guy
3rdly, I'm married while he is not.
also the office distance is far from my house 5 times more than his.
so the man asked us if we agree with the offer He agreed while I didn't agree and the man decided to pick him instead because he thought I was selfish.
yesterday afternoon around 3pm I received a call from this company HR and asked me if I'm still interested in the job if the company agree with the salary I requested for and I said yes!!! and she asked me to resume today (Friday) but I told her am not in Lagos and promise to resume on Monday.
