FoodRe: Coconut With Seed! I Saw It Today, Any Explanation? (pics) by saintneo(m): 9:42pm On Dec 01, 2012
nex: This is quite possible, but very, very rarely seen in coconuts sold for consumption. It's most likely the coconut which was sold to you had already germinated. When a coconut germinates, the "coconut water" begins to form that mass, which will be the nutrient source for the coconut seedling till its roots become well formed for tapping nutrients from the soil.

PoliticsRe: Differences Between The Yoruba & Igbo Tribes by saintneo(m): 8:44am On Nov 30, 2012
Size
In addition to immigrants from Europe, Asia and the Americas, as well as other African nations, Nigeria is home to more than 150 million people from an estimated 250 tribes. Often called one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa, the Yoruba are estimated to have a population of 50 million, and constitute over 20 percent Nigeria's citizenry. Members of the Igbo tribe are believed to make up about 18 percent of the population, boasting more than 27 million people.
This is very bogus. The author of this post is definitely biased and analytically slow.

Igbos being 18% of Nigeria(150m) = 27m
Yorubas being 20% of Nigeria(150m) = 30m

Where did the extra 20m come from? Author will respond that there are other Yorubas in Benin, Americas and Europe.

So, how about the Igbos in other central African countries, others scattered in Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe? There is a saying that majority of Igbos do not reside in their homeland.

You've not answered my question.

Normally, if i need an inductor, I get a toothpick and coil a wire it, inductance depends on number of Coils.

You should think of utilisation first - filters, power supply regulation etc
BusinessRe: What Do You Do When You Are Dead Broke...... by saintneo(m): 5:04pm On Nov 26, 2012
@OP
Times are difficult. When going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I can feel your dilenma, you can overcome. When situations like this come up, logically you should deal with the most critical ones or cut costs. Things like traditional marriage can be performed with minimal costs or you can choose to postpone. On your rent, get lawyer to inform you of rents and holds - moving to a new apartment is a no-no. Finally, did you take payment insurance on your loan, is you loan a consumer loan or business loan; it all depends on type and if there is onsurance

PoliticsRe: Sign Petition To Invite GEJ To Hardtalk by saintneo(m): 10:37am On Nov 23, 2012
basty: GEJ should let Nigerians know of his second term ambition and his achievements so far to necessitate this.
Mr President has stayed one year of his first tenure in office, he is at work, 2015 is still very far, kindly allow GEJ to work.

If the result of his work is good then he will express his ambition, else he will go back to Bayelsa.
PoliticsRe: Sign Petition To Invite GEJ To Hardtalk by saintneo(m): 10:27am On Nov 23, 2012
Nonsense petition.

I am not interested in any 'hard-talk' with a foreign media organisation be is BBC, VOA, CNN, France24(france vingt-quatre), AL Jazerra, FoxNews, SkyNews, RussianTV, CCTV, et al. They are all signs of re-colonialism. Instead we should works towards improving our journalism and media so as to make it credible and independent of the government. Moreover, BBC is a biased media organisation; it does not project a balanced political view. Given the biased news we get from BBC World already, how about BBC Hausa used in spreading false propaganda in the northern part of Nigeria.

Any 'hard-talk' should be organised by a Nigerian media organisation. It can be NTA, AIT, Silverbird, Channels, Minaj, et al.

PoliticsRe: US Plans To Extend Drone Strikes Operation To Nigeria by saintneo(m): 11:37am On Nov 21, 2012
US should send their drones to Texas to stop the supremacists.

Complete nonsense, I must say. They ally themselves with bullying Isreal, killing people on a daily basis in Gaza. They made Somalia ungovernable, they brought war to Iraq and Afghanistan, then they want to bring their shhhhhhhhhhhite to Nigeria.

I prefer our Nigeria Military to quash this group to US sending their drones to Nigeria.

NB: I am against Boko Haram.

PoliticsRe: Which Igbo State Is Best Performing? by saintneo(m): 7:49pm On Nov 18, 2012
passion007: I am from Enugu, and all I can say is that the State Govt is just doing enough to keep her citizens from complaining. Frankly, there is a lot that ought to be done, but the consolation is that the government is showing the political will to get it done. Of course, comparing to Anambra which is a commerce-driven economy, Enugu has a lot of catching-up to do. BUt in actual fact, a state need not be completely commercial to thrive. Enugu is a peaceful city and a meeting point for all Igbos who all live in peace. Growing up, my favorite neighbors were from Imo, our next-door neighbors were from Ebonyi, my mother's best friend was from Delta--we used to find the dialectual differences exhilarating, nevertheless we lived in harmony and that has taught me to value being Igbo.

Our leaders owe us big time. We have invested our trust and confidence in them and so far, they have not quite amazed us--yes, we are waiting to be amazed, not that we are dissatisfied (speaking as an Enugu indigene), but we believe there is so much government could be doing. I personally bemoan our moribund tax system. Government would fare much better if she concretized on property tax, vehicle reg tax, other taxes relating to businesses. Internally-generated revenue is the way to go, over-dependence on oil money has not helped us so far-and I'm referring to no state in particular.

I, for one, believe we can get it right.
