This will definitely make the Guinness Book of Record. Law forbids interrupting worship in Netherlands. For 27 days (Over 3 weeks), hundreds of pastors have been taking turns leading the longest worship service to prevent arrest of an immigrant family from Armenia who has taken refuge in a church. https:///919vQ6HNAT

Bukola Saraki mediated when Ogunbiyi was preparing to challenge Adeleke's slim victory at the primary. He along with the PDP national secretariat promised Ogunbiyi heaven and earth and now they reneged after they lost. It will be callous to expect Ogunbiyi to just go quite and not give a fight. |

Hon. Kazaure found himself in NASS by sheer crassitude of our politics and rot of the system we run. What we don't know is we're in grave danger, intellectually, if inspite of the quota system, Hon Kazaure is what Kazaure constituency in particular and Jigawa State in general could send to the NASS. I laugh whenever I hear him speak not because of his waggery, but because our society see no foolery in what his likes does to the nation through his representation. His grammar apart; I am particular about his intellect. His contribution to debates on the floor of the house mostly show crass lack of intellection. You could hear his colleagues laugh immediately he stands to speak. The Speaker most often shut him off before he concludes his contribution because he is mostly always 'off line'. |
ZKOSOSO:He is NOT from Kano..He is from Jigawa. |
Is there a link between chess and intelligence? The fact that skills learned by training do not transfer across different domains seems to be a universal in human cognition. The stereotype of the chess player is someone who is smart, logical and good at maths. This is why so many parents around the world are keen to get their children playing chess – in the hope that the game might help to boost their son or daughter’s intelligence levels and help them succeed in a wide variety of subjects. But apart from chess being a great game, its history rooted in eastern India military, is there actually any evidence to show that playing chess can make you smarter? In a previous article, we showed that chess players exhibit, on average, superior cognitive ability compared to non-chess players. And the skills needed to play chess have also been shown to correlate with several measures of intelligence – such as fluid reasoning, memory, and processing speed. But while the existence of a relationship between general cognitive ability and chess-skill is clear, is this simply because intelligent people are more likely to engage in the game of chess, or does engaging in chess make people smarter? Brain game. The notion that playing chess makes you smarter goes something like this: chess requires concentration and intelligence, and as mathematics and literacy require the same general skills, then practising chess must also improve one’s academic achievement. With this idea in mind, the Institute of Education conducted a large investigation to test the effects of chess instruction on the academic skills of nearly 4,000 British children. The recently released results were disappointing – it seemed chess played no effect on children’s attainment levels in mathematics, literacy, or science. Promptly, the chess community questioned the reliability of the results, particularly given that other studies offer a more optimistic picture about the academic benefits of chess instruction. Assessing the evidence The chess community is probably right in criticising the recent study, as it suffers from several methodological shortcomings that probably invalidate the results. Before the results were published, we carried out a review of all the studies in the field. Our results showed some moderate effects of chess instruction on cognitive ability and academic achievement – especially mathematics. And yet, we still need to be cautious in interpreting these results as a positive indication of the power of chess on cognitive or academic skills. This is because most of the reviewed studies compared the effect of chess with groups doing no alternative activities. This is a problem because research has shown that the excitement and fun induced by novel activities can cause a positive temporal effect on test scores – a placebo effect. Crucially, when compared to an alternative activity – such as checkers or sports – chess did not show any significant effect on children’s skills. So, it could well just be that the observed positive effects of chess instruction are merely due to placebo effects. Chess notes What all this shows is that it is unlikely chess has a significant impact on overall cognitive ability. So while it might sound like a quick win – that a game of chess can improve a broad range of skills – unfortunately this is not the case. The failure of generalisation of a particular skill, in fact, happens to occur in many other areas beyond chess – such as music training, which has been shown to have no effect on non-music cognitive or academic abilities. The same applies to video game training , brain training , and working memory training, among others. The fact that skills learned by training do not transfer across different domains seems to be a universal in human cognition. In other words, you get better, at best, at what you train in – which may just sound just like good old fashioned common sense. But although expecting chess to enhance children’s cognitive ability and overall academic achievement is just wishful thinking, this doesn’t mean it can’t still add value to a child’s education. Clearly, playing chess involves some level of arithmetical and geometrical skill, and designing mathematical games or exercises with chess material can still be a simple and fun way to help children to learn. courtesy: www.weforum.org |

Aircraft carriers are the heart of the US Navy. The deck of a carrier is literally a few acres of American territory floating around the world, projecting massive air and seagoing military might. Thought of any African country getting to this level in 30 years? Lol.....

outknow:It is ever so easy to sit within the comfort of your room and roar like a lion, anybody can do that! The real fight is on the street, in the cells; ask your folks who were arrested, ask Nnamdi and his co-travelers. Lose your freedom and see if you would still remain you afterward. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to instill fear. I just want you and others to view this whole BIAFRA struggle from another prism. The Biafra cause, for me, is not been fought the right way (and I also do not see any justifiable reason for it- that's topic for another day). Sentiment and emotivity had never won a cause, rather they cause mis-step and mis-direction. The Igbos need to press the reset button. BIAFRA is a dead cause as Chief Ojukwu asserted, let move on. ONE NATION, ONE NIGERIA |
"To what extent do you see the ruling APC contributing to the crisis rocking the PDP currently as alleged in some quarters? I will never subscribe to that idea. I will never subscribe to that idea that APC, the ruling party, is contributing to the crisis in the PDP. [i][/i]We, as PDP, as far as the convention is concerned, played into their hands. If the APC wants to divide us, we in the PDP played into their hands. Why did some boys decide to tamper with the delegates’ list? If the police did not intervene by sealing off the convention venue, those mad ambitious young men would have put wrong people in office." I just hope people from the other side of the fence could read. APC is not the problem oooo, it the youth in the party. PDP's implosion is for sure if the crisis is coming from within. |

A ship engine failed, no one could fix it. Then they brought in a man with 40 yrs. on the job. He inspected the engine carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k. 'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything. Send us an itemized bill. ” the reply simply said Tapping with a hammer. $2 Knowing where to tap? $9,998 Don't Ever Underestimate Experience.

boss1310:Dude read this and stop been silly: I sympathize with you. You do not understand what is going on around you, but you must talk, hence you pitch sides with the most simplistic side. Here is what is going on: 1. Mr Ben Murray Bruce borrow money for bank. He use his companies as collateral. The loan is up to 10 Billion naira. 2. Mr common sense defaulted (i. e he did not pay back) 3. Government is taking over the collateral. Nothing about military era. The people who will suffer the bad loan are the masses. Mr Bruce will not feel the pain one bit. Imagine UBA or Union bank closes because they cannot operate anymore. Imagine the number of poor Nigerians whose money will be gone. Will you prefer this happens or Mr Bruce pays his debt? The government has done nothing wrong. If Mr. Bruce repays the loan tomorrow, it will be illegal for AMCON to still hold the building. |
