Amakyzuu:
Thank you for this info.

Thank you for coming back to appreciate it.

Nedu91:
Thanks for the update. Hw did you present your findings? Was it like a speech presentation or wrote it down on a paper? Appreciate your timely response.

For the first one, your readings would be written on a table provided. You are expected to simply state your findings in the second one.

mikaj:
Epp o!!!!!! What is the next stage about. To all those who did theirs today.

Don't prepare for something too serious. This stage will test you prowess in practical situations.
You'll be splitted into different groups of 3. Each group would take turns carrying out two different test. Anyone of these two described below could come first for your group.

Test 1: You'll be presented with a sample of flour which you are to measure and sift through a series of sieves. You'll be making use of a sifter which you most likely haven't used before so I'm sure your ability to understand how machines work would be graded.
Hint: ensure each of the sieves are perfectly fitted into each other and the clamp STRONGLY TIGHTENED over the top cover.

Test 2: You'll be presented with two samples of flour and required to determine if they are from the same flour or not. Colour, texture and a comparison of particles under microscope should help you make your decision.
Hint: You should ask if you are allowed to taste. I didn't and I felt stupid since flour is perfectly edible.

Good luck.

Not many people know Barack Obama took his first oath of office twice. This was necessary to cover all legal loopholes arising from a flaw or difference in the first taking of the oath.

Please so this means I can't buy anything above $100 daily.

Been trying to buy a phone of $130 but there is always a problem of payment from my bank via aliexpress... No other way to do this?

Not daily. Monthly. The limit is $100 per month.
If you want to get the phone from Amazon, you can get a gift card worth $100 and get another worth $30 (with another card). Then use the giftcards to get the phone.

FUNNY

Yes it's funny that Nigerians expected (and still expect) a 73-year old, retired and under-educated millitary dictator to lead a complex, dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Nigeria of nearly 200-million people to becoming a prosperous country in this 21st century of super-complex global economy.

This would have been an epic definition of clownishness if not that it is also a national tragedy.

Yes, it is even more funny that sane people were ridiculed here daily on Nairaland for seeing since two years ago the obvious error (that you lots are just seeing today).

So you guys should just keep the heck off my mention.

And what was your alternative to handle the suoer-complex global economy. Vote in Goodluck again? Abeg goan sit down.

Irrelevant people.

It is only in Nigeria, uneducated celebrities think they are relevant in the Governance of a Country. The business of running a Country is not a Comedy Show,or singing you are my African Queen.

This is exactly one of the reasons Trump won in the US. Because Hollywood ganged up against him,and thought they could use their star power to influence the election.

You entertainers should stick to entertaining,and let serious minded people worry about Nigeria.

How do you think? 2baba never said he's going into politics, he's airing his views as a Nigerian. You serious minded person, what have you done apart from worry?

Thank you 2Baba, atleast our aluta awareness level has been raised a bit more. You might not be leading the protest when it finally happens but I see it happening sooner than later

dyonpoint:
I made a $50 transaction day before yesterday and o have been unable to do another. All I get is cumulative limit exceeded.

Considering charges which would be deducted from the $100 you might have exceeded the limit. Try a transaction of $40-$44. That should bring your cumulative plus charges to almost $100

If u truly love her and she's a good woman to you, wife her.

Only a girl would give this kinda advice. I'm sure only girls liked it as well.

Haha... I knew this. I just knew

I dedicate this FTC to my family and all the good people out there.

If you want Nigeria to get better click "like" if you still believe MMM will pay click "share" (wake up).

I want Nigeria to get better but I'd rather do something tangible about it than click like on a faceless online forum

Wow. Happy birthday to one of the best leaders of our time. Age with grace sir

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a number of cool features
1. IR blaster - I can control any electrical appliance that works with a remote control.
2. Heart rate sensor - This comes in handy before and after a workout
3. Fingerprint scanner - Unmatched security
4. Pedometer - Tracks daily level of activity by counting steps taken
It has a broken screen now though but I still love my Samsung Galaxy S5

This nonsense is also imported. At the current dollar rate, expect transportation fares to go up for hustlers like you and I.

Thanks for the response guys. You both however addressed the topic from the angle of politicians justifying their actions to the masses. My concern however is how they justify these atrocities to their personal self.

I watched the Senate president give a breakdown of the "good" things he has achieved for Nigeria. Former senate president Ken Nnamani who recently left PDP for APC also came on air to explain the rationale behind his action and also state how much he has been misunderstood.

Its no news that these politicians (not just the two mentioned above) siphon funds meant to better the lives of millions of Nigerians. They however come on air and display the bravado of people who are at peace with themselves and see no wrong in their works.

So I ask, how do they do it? How do they live with themselves? How do they justify their actions?

Wow

FIRST MASSIVE NATIONWIDE PROTESTS ON THE 5TH OF FEBRUARY, 2017.

A call for good governance.

A call for urgent explanation into the reckless economic downturn nationwide.

A call for nationwide protests as we say No to the Executive, No to legislatures, No to judiciary... You have all failed us.

We the people are tired. We can no longer continue with all of you. All your excuses and mistakes are not funny. We do not wish to continue with a system and government that is not working but afflicting the people. We the people of this country not living under the privileges of government allowances and remuneration have now accepted to take the bull by the horn to come out and protest this obnoxious and baseless policies and excuses of the government of the day.

Where are the recovered looted funds?

Why do we still have the executive arms and legislatures still enjoying their salaries and allowances while we hear there's no money to pay workers?

Why do we still see ceaseless power failures with no explanation and hope of getting out of it unlike before?

Why do we keep seeing peace talks in Niger Delta, fulani heardsmen and ipob without any solutions being reached, while the strategies keeps aggravating the people involved as political leaders stage forums to extort funds in the name of addressing their subjects?

Why did we have petrol price rise to 145 for the sake of global oil price crash and removal of subsidy but such price is still being maintained despite significant re-awakening of the oil price from $30/barrel to $56/barrel?

Who is to be held accountable for the sudden and continuous hike in price of commodities in the market, where for the first time in history, Nigeria is suddenly selling kerosene at 400 naira per litre as against 50 naira per litre, diesel at 300 naira per litre as against 100 naira per litre and petrol from 87 naira to 145 naira? Yet maintaining the same systems, environment and maybe a lesser money spending government.

There's need for Nigerians to rise against what is happening in this country having waited patiently for the legislatures that were elected to represent the people all to no avail.

How can there be rise in cost of living all of a sudden and no one is telling us what is actually happening? Not even a single person in power to address the challenges in the various sectors and introduce palliative measures by the government to cushion the effects?

We call on all Nigerians of good conscience to rise against this inhumanity against mankind, dehumanization and heartlesness living in high places piloting the affairs of this country while we're yet to drawn into a deep blue sea.

To this cause, we the masses wish to use this medium to alert ourselves that on the 5th of February, 2017 , there shall be a nationwide massive protest from state to state, local government to local government, ward to ward and kindred to kindred.

For the first time, all Nigerians shall match out of their houses to the streets with placards displaying what displeases you in the Nigeria of today both in the executive, legislatures and judiciary arms of government.

Cars shall carry green leaves to display the unhappiness we the masses have towards the economic uncertainties in Nigeria and the displeasure of hearing of excuses and mistakes here and there in governance.

Nobody said anybody is above resignation if he cannot meet up the yearnings of the people like David Cameron of United kingdom.

We are tired of getting surprises whenever we visit the market and yet no shake up in government spending amidst the dwindling economic reserve. Our governors and top government functionaries keep living flamboyant lifestyle, building mansions and buying up properties abroad at the most expensive locations in the world and they end up going away with it once they identify with government or political party of the day.

Enough is enough.

We have been pushed to the wall, we have reached our crossroads and our last hope before we are drawned in silence without notice is a massive protest and a vote of no confidence on the people we voted to pilot the affairs of our nation.

May we rise to demand a bann on the following:

Security votes of every government functionaries. Why do we spend extra while their security operatives rely on their normal salaries, why even continue this scheme in a dwindling economy as this in Nigeria today?

Oversight functions.

Excessive allowances like health and travelling allowances abroad, etc.

New yearly furniture allowances, rentals and kitchens for government houses, etc...

And the need to start owing governors salaries etc.

The need to stop local government allocations till they start functioning constitutionally.

The need to channel youth empowerment programs towards youth friendly programs such as sports, information technology, entertainment, innovations, inventions and not just agriculture or farming.

We call on state of emergency on power, bad roads, poor governance, dead local government areas, electoral frauds etc.

God help Nigeria as we rise on the 5th of February, 2017.

Long live the people of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Pls pass it on till it gets to over 145million Nigerians suffering from the current hardship that is capable of turning this country into a living hell if nothing is done about it NOW.

Encourage growth, encourage development, encourage stability to all.

Help us to fight with our own voices now.

Please kindly rebroadcast...

Please shed more light on this. I'm really interested.

Doyin2:
Lunatic ,what the minister did is what we call democracy(response to the people),not anti-people and senseless comments like yours.

How does a minister's reaction to people's complain ,inhibit the quest for economic recovery?


Whereas, hosting the show in Nigeria has some economic value,if nonentities like you do not understand.

Nigeria's electric power( for instance Eko electric would have received some income,and not a south African electricity company,or they would have bought diesel from a Nigerian company and not in South Africa) would be consumed,some Nigerian staff would be engaged,the house or hotel to be used would also receive rentals,etc,.


Can you see yourself now.You are obviously the idiot and only lunatics make comments, irrelevant to the issues at stake(genuine reaction to people's complain versus economic recession,what is the link? )

What a lunacy!

SMH

The guy is simply dumb. Don't stress yourself, he's proven himself to be intellectually incompetent on several instances on this forum already.

sunnyboi:
Yes, monthly

Thanks bro. Mind if we chat on whatsapp?

yarimo:
kikikiki simply question need simple answer ODE, just list the economy benefits to nigeria and nigerians that is all. MUMU

Look at you. You can't even string together a complete sentence devoid of blunders. You need help.

yarimo:
you must be very bastard if you didn't list the economy benefits to nigeria and nigerians

A fool like you who can't see the economic importance of having investors invest in your country deserves no response from me.

sunnyboi:
$100

Monthly?

yarimo:
Mtcheeew instead of lai muhammed to direct his energy to the issue of economy recession in the country , here he is wasting his energy on program that doesn't have economy value

You must be a very stupid person for making such a useless comment

What is the new GTBank Naira MasterCard spending limit

doctokwus:
Whenever i see d likes of Akpabio,Saraki,GEJ,PEJ and d likes being enthusiastically supported by people,or all PMB's policies and actions(inactions) being defended vigorously,I come to d stark realisation that there is no hope for this country.
Individuals may succeed on their own due to dint of hardwork,being in position of authority to embezzle funds or by God's grace,but d Nigerian state is a failed one that offers no comfort,plan or shelter for its citizens to succeed due to visionary leadership.
Its only God that can redeem this country if it remains as a single entity,leadership thus far has fallen short on all scores.

You've said it all. Government has repeatedly failed the people here in Nigeria. Really sad

Don't know why I do it but I don't have the same password for any two sites

This is a nice speech from Trump. I bet it isn't plagiarized. Gets me wondering, why do African leaders act as if all the cool lines that make a good speech have all been said and they have no choice but to plagiarize.

I feel for Obama, he has to seat and listen to this BS from Trump and he can do zilch about it.

Trump: "A new policy will govern America... America first"

for your mind you don speak English.

If you are referring to the "hence" therein, you can say that again.
