damilare442: RCCG GO Pastor E.A Adeboye just took to his Facebook page to share a picture of himself holding a thank you note after hitting #2million Facebook followers…Perhaps the biggest in Nigeria. His current fan base stands @ 2million plus

He wrote; “I would like to thank you all for 2 million followers on Facebook. May The Lord bless you and speedily answer all your prayers in Jesus Name. Let’s continue to spread the good news”

The note says “Thank you for #2 million friends..” and another appreciation statement.

. Don't think a pastor should care or focus on his fan base. The attention will go all the way to his head

Is one of Nigeria’s most loved songstresses pregnant? The answer is NO!!

Punch Reports

Contrary to claims in the blogosphere that Mavin’s first lady, Tiwa Savage, is expecting her first child for Tunji Balogun, Saturday Beats learnt from the singer’s assistant that the story is false.

Tiwa recently attended DJ Jimmy Jatt’s 25th anniversary as a disk jockey, wearing a loose gown, sparking off rumours that she was pregnant. (SEE BELOW) The diva has a stunning reputation for wearing mind-wowing body-hugging dresses.

https://yabaleftonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/tiwase.jpg

Apart from the loose dress, Tiwa had posted on her twitter handle, “The spirit of a mother #mrsteebillz #marriedandtaken.”

When Saturday Beats called her husband popularly referred to as T-billz to confirm if the story was true or not, a male assistant who introduced himself as Thompson, said the story was false.

He said, “T-Billz travelled to the US but Tiwa is currently in Nigeria. That story is false, it is not true. People would always write what they want to. It is the way the dress is. The story is totally false.”

He however affirmed that the singer together with her music label mates, recently dined with one of Africa’s richest men, Femi Otedola, on his yacht. He told Saturday Beats that he was not present on the yacht so he did not know what the meeting was about.

“I don’t know what was discussed because I was not there but she went in company of Don Jazzy and Dr. Sid,” he said.

kel4soft: This thread is open for Civil Engineers and other related fields who are in highway doing what you know how to do best.

I want to know, does your company use rainmakers in projects? or is there any chemical (science) that suspends precipitation?

In 2007-2009, I noticed something, when Julius Berger was constructing Eleme Junction Interchange here in Port Harcourt, the rains didn't pour as usual. It is either falling everywhere except at Eleme Junction, or the duration of rainfall is minimal when compare to other areas in the state. It was like the dry season was stretched some folks believed JB actually controls the rains.

Is it a fact or fiction?

Discuss!

It's true there are chemicals used to stop rain(refer to google). Just like the Chinese did during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The problem is that m nt sure if they do it in nigeria

Bleep atletico 1-0

dozmandon: James Rodriguez may have a bagged a goal on his Bernabeu debut, but Real Madrid still have a lot of work to do if they are to clinch the Spanish Super Copa with the score tied at 1-1 after the first leg.

The Colombian profited from a goalmouth scramble to edge Real ahead but below-strength Atletico – who looked impotent in attack for much of the contest – equalised late on through Raul Garcia.

With the Liga title race anticipated to eclipse last year’s enthralling episode, both sides will be acutely aware that victory in the season precursor could provide a crucial mental edge.

Real have set their sights on winning all six trophies on offer in the 2014/15 season having already clinched the European Super Cup against Sevilla.

TEAM NEWS

Atletico may hand a start to summer signing Antoine Griezmann, with the Frenchman set to operate just behind Mario Mandzukic upfront. Jan Oblak and Arda Turan are expected to miss out again.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be fit for the clash after going off as a precaution at half time during the first leg with a hamstring strain. There were initial fears the Portuguese star had suffered a recurrence of the knee injury that he suffered at the back end of last season and carried into the World Cup but that was quickly played down. Want-away midfielder Angel Di Maria is unlikely to feature.

MANAGER QUOTES

Diego Simeone on the upcoming Liga season: "I do not like to lie to people and one thing is clear: we cannot compete with Madrid and Barcelona. Our rivals will be Sevilla, Valencia and Athletic (Bilbao), our objective is third place. We are putting together the group and we have changed, above all in attack. I look at it as a new start especially in attack because the team is different. Mandzukic, Jimenez and Griezmann are different to Costa, Villa and Adrian. We have, though, kept the same solid structure which is the base of the team, but we are now looking for the best style to adopt with this. We have to have patience. We are the champions but the players are not the same and we are in a different league to Barca and Madrid."

Carlo Ancelotti: "We are used to playing against Atletico and they are used to facing us. I don't think the style of game will be different, they now have the advantage from their positive result at the Bernabeu but I think it will be the same type of match. We need to defend, counter attack well and take advantage of free-kicks. Di Maria asked to leave this summer and rejected the option to renew. We will look for the best option for him and if at the end of August he is still here then he will work with us like last season."

bajeen: It might be unthinkable, yet it did happen. The University of Lagos community developed a racing car which beat many competitors at a global automobile competition

It is a racing car! It is one that may not be too common in this part of the world but was conceived, developed and put to test here and abroad. Known as Autonov II, the racing car is a brainchild of staff and students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) and has competed for, and gained fame on the global automobile stage.
Former Minister of Information, who is now Chairman, Governing Council of UNILAG, Prof. Jerry Gana was on a visit to the institution recently. And for the management, there could not have been a better time to showcase the school’s inherent potentials. In this regard, Autonov II, UNILAG’s latest exploit in science and technology came handy.
Fuel-efficient and electronically-powered, the design, fabrication and running of Autonov II had been funded solely by Shell Petroleum Plc. The racing car had participated alongside automobile inventions from other 203 tertiary institutions across the world at a car racing competition in the Netherlands, emerging the third best overall.
Twenty students and lecturers of the school were said to have done the bulk of the work on Autonov II. From the Department of Mechanical Engineering to those of Creative Arts, Physics, Mass Communication, Electrical/Electronic and Architecture, the students were assembled and after a two-month intensive exercise, Autonov II was developed.
“We started by building the skill-set we needed. We built the designs, the fraction, the china system and the body, among others and those who could integrate all of these together did. Of course, this has to be carried out by the students. When we finished, we selected the team we wanted. What we did was to advertise and ask that students who possess various skills we needed should indicate by applying. We interviewed them and selected a team of 20 students which we later pruned,” Prof. Ikem Owete, leader of the team that manufactured Autonov II narrated.
The team leaders thereafter asked the selected students to work differently. The mechanical group worked on the frame. The material team worked on the body. The Creative Art student is a sculptor who constructed the body himself. Students from electrical engineering worked on the electrical and electronic control. The team, Prof Owete recalled, had some challenges with the control a day before the competition. The car simply stopped working. But by some “miraculous intervention,” it later began to work.
“One thing I can tell you was that these students from Electrical Engineering made their own PCVs (positive crankcase ventilation, an automotive-emission control valve that recirculates gases through the combustion chambers to permit more complete combustion) manually without a machine. They got the chemical, the drawing on the computer, the components and made the transfer to the PCVs all on their own. Initially, we wanted to get an outsider for this but they came to me and said, ‘Sir, we can do it’ and I said to them, ‘Go ahead and do it. If you don’t try, you can’t succeed.’ And they did. I am very proud of them. You really need to see their performance,” Owete said.
UNILAG was not the only Nigerian tertiary institution that made it to the racing competition. University of Benin (UNIBEN) also did. But while the UNIBEN invention could not make it to the track, UNILAG’s Autonov II did. And out of the 203 schools that competed, UNILAG was the only one from Africa, aside the two others that came from Morocco.
“Our utmost aim and objective right from the first day was how we would pass the rigorous tests and get Autonov II on the track. We had our major scare when we got to the competition and were about to participate when one of our wheels buckled for the first time. This happened a day to the time we were to have our first test. We had not had any test prior to that time. But our team spirit and determination prevailed; we took the car to the welding shop and the wheel and every other thing were fixed. Thereafter, we went for the four-stage test and we passed,” Victoria Olakanmi, a 400-level Physics student who played a role in fixing the car’s electrical lightings and also acted as the reserve driver said.
Olakanmi said being the only black Africans among the competitors, they were really not given any chance by many of their rivals and spectators, especially since they were observers at the competition last year. “Many of our rivals brought big and high-powered equipment to the competition, but we dazed them when we emerged third best overall,” she said.
For the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Abdulrahman Bello, if anything, that remarkable feat has placed UNILAG on a global pedestal. “I feel vindicated and elated. I have always said the education we give at the UNILAG is second to none. We have what it takes to always excel and we also have all the professionals that can perform feats. That was exactly what our students and members of academic staff have shown. We can vouch for our graduates at every point in time. I am very happy this is happening when I am here,” Prof. Bello said.
Asked to comment on the issue of sustainability, the Vice Chancellor reminded everyone that this would not be the first time the school would be manufacturing a car. A former lecturer of the school, the late Prof. Awojobi was reputed to have single-handedly manufactured a car named Autonov. The VC said it was in the quest to key into that line of innovation that made the school call the latest invention Autonov II. He added that the two cars will be placed in the university’s prospective museum.
Based on its feat at the Netherlands, the UNILAG has been invited to participate in a similar competition coming up in Cape Town, South Africa in October. The school expects to have developed another car before then for the competition.
Prof. Gana expressed delight over the manufacturing of Autonov II and assured UNILAG’s authorities of government’s interest in developing the innate potential of every student there and, indeed, that of every Nigerian student.

#story for the gods

CFCfan: The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) arm of the Organised Private Sector (OPS) has called for the adoption of Nigeria's "Naira" as the single currency for ECOWAS sub region.

NACCIMA said that for this to happen, first, the Naira should be revalued for it to be at par with the American dollar as it was in the 80s.

In a chat with Vanguard, John Isemede, NACCIMA Director General, pointed out that the much talked about economic integration has been elusive for years because the requirements for the convergence can't be met by the participating countries.

He argued for instance, "our import cultures have not allowed economic integration and taking orders from other people to run our own country. Again, how can we achieve the economic bloc? We are talking of the Common External Tariff which will take off next year; we are a sub region and not a custom union. For us to be a custom union, incentives, VAT, import duties, tariff and non-tariff must be the same thing.

Today, VAT in Nigeria is 5 percent, Benin Republic 20 percent; Ghana 17 percent and if we now have all these, why will the borders not be porous and smuggling not be booming because there is a big advantage of routing your goods through Nigeria at 5 percent. How can we achieve free movement of goods with the differences in VAT.? "

In view of this, he said "If we can develop our economy internally like what happened in the 80s, today the naira can become ECOWAS single currency. I can give you the exchange rates of the Nigerian currency for over 30 years. In 1980 what was the exchange rate? It was between 50 and 60 kobo to the U.S. Dollar. When SAP was introduced it was N4.2 to a dollar in 1986.

"So all we have to do is to work on our own Naira because in the past, people were traveling with the Naira to abroad because the Naira was more or less the single currency in West Africa. If the value of the naira today is N50 to the US$, a lot of experts in America would come back to Nigeria because the value of the currency. If you are mighty, other economies will run after you," he said.

According to him, Ghana Cedis and the CFA may not qualify for the single currency because they are overvalued and have been depreciating for almost 20 years; how can they meet the convergence?

"In fact, we cannot wait for this people because there can never be a convergence. It can't work. The CFA today is a member of the Euro because when France decided to surrender the French franc to Euro the CFA automatically became Euro; if you are doing business with francophone countries if you invoiced your goods in dollars and pounds, they may not pay you because their currency is not tied to dollar and pound. But if you invoice your goods in Euro, you get your money in jiffy because their currency that was once tied to the French franc is now tied to the Euro," he said.

Too long tho. Next time shorten your post. If naira is on par wif other currencies. So we would have to start using coins.....very disgusting




But if naira is nigerian and nairaland is nigerian. And they make naira west African. So what does that make nairaland
