That is a good one there but must we suffer the pains of scarcity before you guys start to work. Anyway better too late than never. Maybe by next week we will see the time wasted on gas stations reduced or better still eliminated

Likely not. What has been delivered only takes care of just a week's need or even less...we consume 40m litres, daily.

I read in an article that daily consumption is about 40million liters , so is this a day's allocation? hope am right?
Yes. What they are celebrating given our daily consumption figure is not up to week's supply

Great news....... but the problem will persist if a huge chunk of the 44 million litres pms end up in the plastic kegs of the black market sellers.

Even the filling stations are happier to hoard and sell at huge prices to the black market sellers than motorists so how will the queues end?
Hoarding is possible because there's no fresh supplies to the depots......flood the tank farms with products and show programs of more coming in and see if any black market or black station will exist.

NNPC is solely responsible for importation and industry players knows they can't service the entire daily needs of the country..... Make forex available to depot owners on same terms as it is given to Nnpc and the problem is solved.

Are you aware GEJ/Dasuki gave Bafarawa N4.5billion for 'spiritual purposes'?.... Bafarawa confessed this himself.

Following logically, a GEJ can give ex-governor Bafarawa N4.5billion for 'spirituals,' but you do not think it is possible for GEJ to have given billions to pastors?

By the way, the report os about a statement from the Bosun guy, I would love to hear what Rev Dikwa himself has to say about this.
If he ,Jonathan, gave money to the two men of God mentioned by the dikwa man and they are denying it God will disgrace them both before this government winds up but if they were being maglined for political capital, every one that promoted the news online and offline will meet with misfortune of unimaginable proportion before the Buhari government complete it runs

sometimes these dudes better learn to keep quiet.

Concerning a military operation to free the girls, if they actually knew where they were, then all they needed to do was encircle the camp and lay siege or to take another approach, secretly monitor the movements of the terrorists in and out of the area in order to lay ambush when they attempt to move the girls, or create a diversionary land attack that would draw out most of the enemy combatants and them swoop in with air power. I usually don't Like TO criticize military guys as i know they must know something that the public doesn't know, but given what this man has attempted to pass off as an excuse, i'm deeply dissatisfied with what i see as an extremely shoddy job at best, and at worst an expensive (in human cost) exercise in global pr.

What's atiku's relevance to APC? the political prostitute!
It would take a gullible person to vote for him. Even Nigeria don't trust him, then y should APC belittle herself in putting him at par with tinubu. Four of tinubu is better than 20 of atiku, trying to reap apple where he sowed peanut. make him your BOT chairman and see APC becoming BOT chairmanless in the course of the next presidential election as he would contest again whether in APC or PDP or KOWA. Like Saraki like Atiku. In buhari's voice, I would work with who emerges as BOT Chairman, but for him mind, he has plans for the chairman if he's not who wants to be there,EFCC, CCB, DSS, ICPC, NSCDC straight.
If you think Buhari will hand Tinubu anything you are deluded and must have forgotten so soon his he was tricked during the nomination and election of the nass leadership

He doesn't have the reach of Atiku ...if he gets it he should know that something more sinister than the ministerial list is being cooked ,somewhere.
Atiku has the numbers unless persuaded to feign loss....the people that votes in this matter are or inludes senate president, speakers, majority leaders and then govs and so on and so forth..... Amaechi is never going to work for anything Tinubu

Still A Christian, When Was The Last Time You Did Any Of These?


Some will say, it's not 'works' but 'grace'. The same Grace Jesus had yet He worked all day and night for His Father.

If you call yourself a "Christian" and haven't done some or all of these, 3 things are involved;

- You are backslidden.

- Your church doesn't really teach stuff like these or...

- You have chosen to ignore the demands/promptings of the Holy Spirit.


If you are (or really, badly want to be) a true disciple of Jesus, these seven things should not be far-fetched from your habits:


1. Evangelizing

I laugh when I hear people, 'My money can be used to preach the gospel, as for me, No Time!" Yes, you can't preach globally, what about those sinners around you? Your siblings? Friends? Neighbours? This is the GREAT COMMISION for ALL! You drink or sleep with them but can't preach to them. lipsrsealed


2. Praying for those who don't want you to succeed.


In a world of ours, 'anyone against my progress, DIE BY FIRE', is now the norm. Is this only what Jesus taught us? There is more to prayer than "FALL down and DIE!!!" Prayer for others is a mystery that reminds God of our own needs.


3. Loving Our "Haters"

I still remember that doing so "will HEAP COAL OF FIRE on their heads" as the Bible puts it. When was the last time you showed mercy to the merciless? Do you testify in church just because your prayers in rendering an innocent man a widower was answered? What of apologizing even when you're palpably right.


4. Really read your Bible

It's true, "social media sites are gradually stealing away God's people". I have been guilty sometimes too. If only you can spend half the time you spend on Facebook, BBM and whatsapp! This BOOK will keep you from sin and sin will keep you from this BOOK - Immortal John Bunyan. Each time I've fallen, I wasn't reading my Bible. sad


5. Gave God an ample sum of money and didn't announce it.

You'll see people give with one hand and broadcast with the other. Little wonder, the seed fails to reproduce maximally.


6. Humble yourself enough to sit wherever the usher asks you to.

The usher sef, her shoe and appearance aren't as commanding as yours and she wants to command you to sit in the front row. I even kneemw when she started this church and gave her life to Christ. Hmm


7. Pray till you had an heavenly experience


I have come to understand as a Christian, 'you are as weak or strong as your prayer life". Of course, I'm not talking about, "Gimmie gimmie kinda prayer". A prayer of Consecration or Dedication always and have proven to be more powerful than the rest.

Mid-week services and Cell fellowship are OUT of some folk's programme. They may be leaders in church yet so busy to do the First works- First Love.

When was the last time you spent quality time with your Father? Not in church but alone. This is a question for all of us.

Science/Technology › Re: 16 Nigerian Iventors With Remarkable Inventions Worldwide by Themandator: 9:40am On Mar 18, 2016
Shymm3x:
Add these two to ya list:

1). Deji Akinwande (Stanford)
He is a co-inventor of a high-frequency chip-to-chip interconnect and an electrically small antenna for bio-electronics. Prof. Akinwande has been honored with the inaugural IEEE Nano Geim and Novoselov Graphene Prize, the NSF CAREER award, the Army and DTRA Young Investigator awards, the 3M Nontenured Faculty Award, and was a past recipient of fellowships from the Ford Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Stanford DARE Initiative. He is one of the directors of the NASCENT ERC center at UT Austin. He recently co-authored a textbook on carbon nanotubes and graphene device physics by Cambridge University Press, 2011. His work on flexible graphene systems was selected as among the "best of 2012" by the nanotechweb online technology news portal and has been featured on MIT's technology review and other technical media outlets.

2). John Dabiri (Stanford)
John Dabiri, Professor of Aeronautics and Bioengineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), invented a revolutionary new wind turbine by studying schools of fish.

A conventional helix wind turbine converts 47% of wind energy into electricity. But this average rate of production drops significantly if the turbine is placed too close to other turbines, since interference leads to energy loss.

John Dabiri discovered a solution to this problem... in the ocean. While examining schools of fish, he noticed that each fish creates waves in the water as it moves, but these waves do not slow the progress of the group as a whole. On the contrary: “there is constructive hydrodynamic interference between the wakes of neighboring fish,” says Dabiri (source of quote: www.caltech.edu). In other words, the interference caused by each fish helps the entire school travel faster.

Based on his research, in 2009 Dabiri designed a biomimetic wind turbine that bears no resemblance to a traditional wind turbine: in addition to being much shorter in height, it lacks the usual helix. Instead, it has several small panels arranged in cylindrical fashion around a vertical shaft.

And yet this turbine can convert up to 59.3% of the wind’s energy – the maximum power that a wind turbine can provide. Quieter and less costly, these turbines occupy much less land because they work synergistically.

The work of this pioneering researcher earned him a grant from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2010. Since that time, modern wind farms have been successfully constructed in Alaska and California.
You should add this also, this guys is born a researcher : Prof Peter Nwangwu and Emeagwali who I once chatted with on facebook.

ify2016:
Like seriously, should some churches continue to be playing on their members psychology like this. I was opportune to attend one Apostolic in Akwa Ibom and my purse was left dry trying to please God and pastors in the name of offerings. The matter was so serious that I almost went borrowing for my T.fare. Imagine telling us to do new month for Jesus Christ and those that have not done Xmas for God should come out, exclusive of mandatory payment for seed sowing ni o etc. The number offerings was sixth times.
Oyàmí léñú!!!!! Where I attend my worship at St. Dominic's Catholic Church Yaba is not so and ours is usually twice may be twice in a month. First offering is for God while the second collection is for a particular project.

Please, how many times offerings are collected in your place of worship and what are they called?

Name of school is withheld,for security purpose.

I was in a hurry to attend a physics lab practical today.On my way I received a call,so I had to wait to answer the call for like two minutes.After I finished answering the call,a guy walked up to me; you know the usual is to shake hands,but I noticed something;I noticed he had a style of hand shake I don't know abt,and there was look of surprise in his face.The first thing he asked was ' are you not a vickings?'. O boy fear catch me .I was like 'I don't understand you ' before he could answer, another guy came to me to ask the same question. Another thing I noticed was that their eyes were wandering as if they are up to something bad.Another thing is that, I noticed was it was not just the two of them but many of them all at different positions; All eyes was on me.O boy fear catch me die.
As a smart boy,I started wondering in my mind what might have attracted this 'O it was my dress code;Red and black ,eh! O boy I don die'
The second guy asked me the question I was expecting'why are you putting on this code' As fear catch me reach I was like ' sorry let me pull it off' .The next thing I heard was 'I hope you are with a condom if not I will f**** your yansh like that' I nearly fainted .
And thanks be to God one of them from a corner told them 'Leave him he is a freshman'

I have never in my life had this kind of experience before. But it thought me something I never knew- Don't you ever put on a red and black combination in the school.

Etisalat is on my secondary phone but no denying their internet is more stable, just a little above MTN which is equally good. Glo on the other hand is terrible.

There is no perfect network, but at least 80% of etisalat users are satisfied with their internet while at least 70% of glo users are complaining... That should tell u something is wrong.
But they keep adding more data subscribers... They have the largest subscribers base, currently and as for service, it is okay in my area of Calabar

Op u are on point. I dumped my glo line early last year because of their erratic internet. I've stayed in Lagos, Ogun and some parts of east and it is the same everywhere. Their internet hardly connects, and when it does most of the tines it is slow. When it eventually gets fast it will let u browse for a few minutes and then disconnects u. U can't stream with ease with this piece of junk. When u finally think u are streaming, next minute it disconnects u and sometimes u have to restart ur phone for the data to restore only for it to disappear again after a couple of minutes.

I have a friend who was complaining about MTN data speed and price. He told me he wanted to port to glo, I warned him he was jumping from fry on to fire, he didn't listen. He eventually ported (reason for porting was mainly because of internet). This guy almost cried when he found out he needed to fast and pray before his glo line can browse. He eventually got fed up after just 5 days and went to port the same line again to etisalat, now he's enjoying his internet.
You are writing on behalf of Eti, no doubt..... Glo all the way...... It is not where it ought to be but serves just well..... I'm on it.... Calabar... 3k 6g plan, monthly
