PoliticsRe: Fashola Will Make A Better President Than Gej by Skii(m): 5:52pm On Oct 17, 2011
@kaboninc,

This is what a lecturer told me about why German industries are better than British industries
After world war II in the mid 1940s, much of Germany was levelled, so they had to rebuild from scratch! Britains industrial areas werent totally damaged so all they just did was to repair. Fast forward to now, with population explosion and over crowding,

I say in terms of your argument (physical infrastructure), GEJ has it going for him better, Fashola is tight and constrained to what he has.

Creating Eko Atlantic, Lekki free trade zone out of the water is a good prototype/model version of what Fashola can do with the vast waste lands of the North

in a few time periods after the dumping has taken place, yes. these nostalgic reminiscent feelings creep up, especially with romantic love songs (Eg Neyo, So sick, that song did me wrong). But as time increases between the dump and interactions with other females increase NO!! (Shye, Get out)

hercules07:
What most people who have spoken against Tinubu have missed is that it is Tinubu that has allowed Fashola to perfrom, he has the assembly men in his pockets, he has settled all those troublesome grassroot politicians and has told them to leave Fashola alone to perform his function, Tinubu is Fashola's enabler, if Fashola becomes a President today, he needs someone to play the dirty side of politics for him.
I almost totally agree with you, but not quite

kaboninc:
In your model, lets say its a state, like Lagos. And I suppose there are some factors you'd put in to consideration - seen and unseen - and see how your model progresses? Right?
Taking a que from your post, it reminds me of design in engineering. first a prototype of the design is made and tested mimicking all possible factors in reality. The results are then gathered and the design is improved upon

If Lagos were the prototype, and all factors of Lagos considered and Nigeria is the real thing, I still conclude, Fashola would perform. Equate all the PDP God fathers to Tinubu, all the Boko Haram and MEND to the area boys in Lagos, what else? Given all this Fashola still dey perform,

PoliticsRe: Fashola Will Make A Better President Than Gej by Skii(m): 5:08pm On Oct 17, 2011
Without a doubt in my mind, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola SAN, will make a better president than President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan PhD, if given the opportunity and things work in his favor. Sadly the chances of that being a reality are not so high. Too many factors involved

Just based on a few personal metrics alone like Charisma, Eloquence, Exposure and what have you, BRF out does GEJ.
Professionally, no disrespect but BRF is a Lawyer, an SAN. GEJ holds a PhD in zoology!
On experience, BRF was chief of staff before becoming Governor, GEJ was Deputy Gov, Gov, Vice Pres, Acting Pres and now Pres. The accomplishments of both men speak for themselves.

Its a pointless argument

SportsRe: Watching Football Is Nothing But Sheer Tomfoolery! by Skii(m): 6:53pm On Oct 16, 2011
@OP, you comments and the possibly long thread that might follow will be clearly like many other arguements on NL. it typifies the usual format, one persons opinion with a biased point of view that will trigger responses with individual bais with facts and figures all mulled up together

In an attempt to get back to your post though,

For instance, CRonaldo is one in a million footballer with such attributes. There are players like Kaka (reputed Born-Again Christians), Kanu Nwankwo (running a heart foundation) for that mattter who live saner lifestyles

The fact that we have young people who are turning to football is no fault of the young people IMO, its largely due to the failure of government to provide alternatives. just look at the mess called Nigeria as it is now.schools and all? We also have young people turning to music and acting too you know.

Sports, football in particular, is a form of relaxation, both for the players and the spectators! Except you generally don't have an appreciation of/for sport. Why football so popular?In general it continues to receive growing popularity with the successes it records on and off the pitch.

Off the pitch, Fashola once made a comment about football encompassing nearly all professions. From the lawyers who perfect the contracts, to the mass communicators who do radio and television commemtary to the camera men on ground, the police and security, the engineering of the stadiums, the medical teams of the teams that consists of doctors, physiotherapists, food nutritionists and so on, to the tailors of the sportswear giants that make jerseys, the accountants you name it.the list is endless. Think about it. FOOTBALL PAYS

On the pitch, infact, i'll leave that to other die hard football fans to help me out

ComputersRe: Please How Do I Retrieve Files From A Broken Flash Drive? by Skii(m): 10:07pm On Oct 11, 2011
Well if your computers are still able to detect the flash and give the error message "usb device not recognized" or something like that
here is what you can try
1 will work most of the time but if not then 2. Never tried 3.
cheers and good luck.

Usb device not recognized
Submitted by zen on Wed, 2007-02-07 11:02. Windows Tips
My Problem:
I have a USB drive that always worked. However all of a sudden, it stopped working. I got a "Usb device not recognized" error every time I plugged in the device.

Probable Cause:
I've plugged in my friend's USB drive on the same computer, perhaps during the automatic installation process, the USB device didn't install properly and then some how it messed up my USB device drivers.

Solution:
I found the following solution workable for my case:
Remove Hidden Devices 1. Click Start. Click Run. Type cmd and press OK.
2. Type “set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1″ (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
3. Type “set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1″ (without quotation marks) and Press Enter.
4. Type “start devmgmt.msc” (without quotation marks) and click press Enter.
5. Click View. Click Show hidden devices.
6. Click “+” to expand Imaging devices, Unknown devices and USB devices.
7. Are there any USB devices and unknown devices (including grayed out devices)? If so, please right click it and click Uninstall.

(It's found on the hersam web site)
After doing this, my device works again with no problem.

Your Problem:
If you get "Usb device not recognized" in Windows and the above solution doesn't work for you, there might be other causes:
A) USB device worked before but suddenly stopped working:

The following solution might be applicable:

1) Remove all oem*.inf files =
1. Click start and click run then under the run line type in the command “cmd” (without the quotation marks)
2. In the command line, type in the following (without the quotes) and press enter after each command:
“cd \windows\inf”
“ren infcache.1 *.old”
“ren oem*.inf *.old”
“del C:\windows\setupapi.log”

2) Removing all entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Enum/USB that start with VID ==
Removing the VID entries from the registry will cause them to be redetected at restart.
CAUTION: If you have a USB keyboard or mouse, do not remove the VID entry for these devices, otherwise, Windows may not restart correctly.
1. Click Start and click Run. Type regedit and click OK. The Registry Editor window will open.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB.
3. Highlight and delete all the VID_…. entries.
Permissions may be set allowing the deletion of the VID_ entries by following the steps below:
a)Right-click the key to be deleted, and then click Permissions. The VID_… Permissions window will open.
b)With Everyone highlighted in the Group or User name section, select Full Control in the Permissions section.
c)Click Apply, and then click OK.
4. Turn off the computer.

Reconnect the USB device to the computer system: ==
1. With the computer system turned off, reconnect the USB hub to the the USB port.
2.Restart the computer.
3.A New Hardware Detected window should open and reload the drivers.

B) USB device never worked before / it works but die in midway when doing something or you may get "usb device has malfunctioned":
The following solution might be applicable:
1) Try using a shorter USB cable.
2) Try plug in the device to the back of your computer instead of the front USB port (this is because some computers don't have enough power in the front USB ports)

3) Some USB 2.0 device are not backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports. Try plugging in with USB 1.1 and 2.0 port to see that's the cause of the problem.

4) Try downgrade all your USB port from 2.0 down to 1.1, you can do that in your BIOS.

5) if all failed, try the USB device on a different computer. Then you can determine if the USB device or the USB port is the culprit of the problem
also, if you can't find your solution here, you might be able to find it on the link below,
