Can we have a glimpse of what the Supporting Information section looks like, sir?
I believe the supporting information is for you to sell yourself, the opportunity to display what you are, what you have, and what you can be if you are given the employment.

In truth, Akande was parsimonious in his management of Osun State resources.
Happy birthday once again, Baba AbdulKareem Adebisi Akande❤
He was quoted to have said something on radio when he was the Governor. People complained of potholes on Ikirun road or was it Station road, I can't remember. He replied them, Was it the government that dug the potholes?. It was a reckless and controversial statement for a Governor but it was the truth. People will burn tyres on new roads and still complain that the road got bad.
Secondly he scrapped the teaching of unnecessary subjects like Yoruba, Islamic religion studies (IRS) and Christian religion studies( CRS) from the Secondary School Curriculum in Osun. Famous for telling IRS teachers to go the Mosques to teach and CRS teachers to teach in Churches.
He was a pragmatic Governor but very reckless in his speech, with his "Show me your 32" broad smiles.
Happy Birthday to Baba Omo kekeke.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT


PETROLEUM INDUSTRY BILL (PIB):

WE NEED TO PRODUCE LARGEST OIL VOLUMES POSSIBLE AT CHEAPER COSTS, OSINBAJO TELLS OIL & GAS STAKEHOLDERS

*VP adds: “Gas should be an enabler for quick development”

Stakeholders in the oil industry need to find and agree on cheaper means of producing oil while also ensuring a more competitive environment that meets the needs and purposes of the Nigerian nation including the largest production volumes possible.
13th January 2021
Years ago, Some IOC were producing at $18-$20 per barrel to the detriment of their Staff well being. Now that the VP is talking about lowering the cost of production further, without any mention of the workforce that will deliver on this new drive. Pure evil.

Do you know if there is an English version of Ogboju ode ninu Igbo irunmole or where I can get the e format of any version available to you?
The author of that book would make a good series writer nowadays, very top notch imaginations.
I am waiting for that day, when nollywood will develop to the extent of adapting some of these books into Series, Or Hollywood will snatch it in the mould of Black Panther. These classics should be our Harry Porter. The imagination and the delivery was out of this world.

Covid: New lockdown for England amid 'hardest weeks'


Coronavirus pandemic

Boris Johnson says the spread of the new variant is "both frustrating and alarming"
Everyone in England must stay at home except for permitted reasons during a new coronavirus lockdown expected to last until mid-February, the PM says.

All schools and colleges will close to most pupils and switch to remote learning from Tuesday.

Boris Johnson warned the coming weeks would be the "hardest yet" amid surging cases and patient numbers.

He said those in the top four priority groups would receive a first vaccine dose by the middle of next month.

All care home residents and their carers, everyone aged 70 and over, all frontline health and social care workers, and the clinically extremely vulnerable will be offered one dose of a vaccine by mid-February.

Scotland earlier issued a stay-at-home order and joined Wales in closing classrooms for most pupils.

Schools in Northern Ireland will have an "extended period of remote learning", the Stormont Executive said.

Speaking from Downing Street, Mr Johnson said all the new measures in England would last until at least the middle of February as a new more infectious variant of the virus spreads across the UK.

The PM added that he believed the country was entering "the last phase of the struggle".

Hospitals were under "more pressure from Covid than at any time since the start of the pandemic", he said.

And he reiterated the slogan used earlier in the pandemic, urging people to immediately "stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives".

Presentational grey line
At-a-glance: New rules in England
People cannot leave their homes except for certain reasons, like the first lockdown last March
These include essential medical needs, food shopping, exercise and work for those who cannot do so from home
All schools and colleges will close to most pupils from Tuesday with remote learning until February half term
Early years settings such as nurseries will stay open
End-of-year exams will not take place this summer as normal
Elsewhere, university students should not return to campuses and will be taught online
Restaurants can continue to offer delivery for food, but takeaway alcohol will be banned
Outdoor sports venues - such as golf courses, tennis courts and outside gyms - must close
But outdoor playgrounds will remain open
Amateur team sports are not allowed, but elite sport such as Premier League football can continue
Presentational grey line
On Monday, the UK recorded more than 50,000 new confirmed Covid cases for the seventh day in a row.

A further 58,784 cases and an additional 407 deaths within 28 days of a positive test result were reported, though deaths in Scotland were not recorded.

Chart shows daily cases continue to rise. Updated 4 Jan.
Presentational white space
As of 08:00 GMT, there were 26,626 Covid-19 patients in hospital in England, according to the latest figures.

This is a week-on-week increase of 30%, and a new record high.

Hospitalisations in the UK as of 4 January (latest data)
Presentational white space
Those who are clinically extremely vulnerable will be contacted by letter and should now shield once more, Mr Johnson said.

Support and childcare bubbles will continue under the new measures - and people can meet one person from another household for outdoor exercise.

Communal worship and life events like funerals and weddings can continue, subject to limits on attendance.

While Mr Johnson said end-of-year exams would not take place as normal in the summer, he said alternative arrangements would be announced separately.

The government has published a 22-page document outlining the new rules in detail.

The House of Commons has been recalled to allow MPs to vote on the new restrictions on Wednesday.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said his MPs would "support the package of measures", saying "we've all got to pull together now to make this work".

Hospital pressure forces PM's hand
Analysis box by Nick Triggle, health correspondent
Once again it is the threat to the NHS that has forced the hand of ministers.

In England there has been a 50% rise in the number of patients in hospital with Covid since Christmas day.

To put that into context, it equates to 18 hospitals being filled.

Currently around three out of 10 beds are occupied by patients with the disease.

In some hospitals it is more than six in 10.

But what is worrying ministers and NHS leaders is that the number is just going to increase.

In the spring it took nearly three weeks after lockdown for hospital cases to peak.

The last six days have seen in excess of 50,000 new infections confirmed each day across the UK - a number of these infections are next week's hospital admissions.

It is why the UK's chief medical officers were warning there was a "material risk" of some hospitals being overwhelmed if something did not change.

Presentational grey line
Mr Johnson spoke after UK chief medical officers recommended the Covid threat level be increased to five - its highest level.

Level five means the NHS may soon be unable to handle a further sustained rise in cases, the medical officers said in a joint statement.

NHS Providers, which represents health service trusts, say hospitals are at a "critical point" and that "immediate and decisive action" is needed.

Announcing tougher measures in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "It is no exaggeration to say that I am more concerned about the situation we face now than I have been at any time since March last year."

Education / Re: I Regret Going To The University by Soknown: 11:03am On Dec 31, 2020
I have seen so many valid points on this thread, but let me add this:

I was given the opportunity to address some set of Secondary students a while back just to encourage them at studying hard. I brought out an obviously white A4 Printing paper. I asked the Students for the color of the paper I was holding. All the students raised their hands so I called one of them. He told me that the color is white.

Then I asked them, why is it white? Everyone kept quiet. They did not expect that question. That is the meat of education, the ability to recognize the need for a 'WHY' and seek for answers. University education is meant for us to understand the Philosophy and Science beneath our chosen profession, questioning the existing order/knowledge, and sought for ways to improve on it. But we have adopted to just absorb the existing knowledge as it is and run to the job market.

Most of the great guys that the OP mentioned understood this principle without attending formal University education but the majority of the earth's population needs to go to school to come to this realization.

Understand the Philosophy and Science behind what you do, then see yourself grow exponentially.
