Lair Mohammed was right on this one. What!!!!. This country is .....hmmm, I reserve my comment..

Afcon prize money is very poor. Even match bonuses for Nigerian players for the entire tournament is about twice the prize money given to Nigeria. What are they then competing for? This competition is basically for national pride, not business-wise at all.

Afcon prize money by now should have gone up to as much as $15m or there about. Upon all the sponsorship and television right fees. This people should do better abeg

Petition has now turned to staging protest. Did you see anybody carrying placard in the name of rccg. Petition to the government signed by many people to see to the kidnapping menace then was a wake up call to the security agent to do something. That call is still being made to the present government through the necessary avenue available to reach out to the government.

Dandsome:
Remember the 1m March?

He got himself committed then.

They thought they were fighting Jonathan then because of his boy Osibanjo

They forgot about karma

Sometimes, some people's comments make me wonder if I'm aware of happenings in this country. Can someone educate me about 1m march that Adeboye was involved or supported. I'm yet to come to term with it

How qualification is dicey. Our qualification is guaranteed with a draw or possibly a win over France. With 3points, we may not qualify

Thank you. I don't know why people easily forget history....more so, mr governor should be well informed about things and not making blatant pronouncement. The judgement needs be challenged in the law court before revisiting the sanitation thing...

Craziestgirl:
Monthly Sanitation exercise and 'restriction of movement' by a State government was deemed to be unlawful by a competent court.
Simple.

I want a Liverpool win in this UCL final, however, Chelsea surprise win over Arsenal may be sending a note of warning to Liverpool. If Liverpool will not lose their cool in this all important match, they should be coasting home to victory.

How much is the machine going for?

Really littered with gold my brother. Street smartness, determination and God's factor are what it takes to pick them up

Tyche:
The street is littered with gold, you just have to come down to pick them

We beat Angola, that make us ahead of Angola. If Uganda beat us, Uganda will be ahead of us

It ll end this way Uganda> >Nig> >Angola

Ok., I guess it is clear.

femi4:
You are wrong. Angola will be the loser not Uganda

OK, how ?because Angola should go head-to-head with uganda

Nigeria has already qualified. See the rules for the competition:

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals and qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Tiebreakers
Teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Article 72):[4]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. Drawing of lots.

I don't like this head-to-head rule. It stopped us from qualifying for world cup at a time. Goals difference should have been fine. For instance, Uganda is not going anywhere if they beat Nigeria silly and Angola beat Tanzania even with a single goal margin.

On whether the amount was not too much for design of a building, Kachikwu said that the contract sum was the lowest of the bids.

“The highest bid was about N3bn; the total projected potential cost for the building when it is done is about N35bn.


“So if you look at that as a percentage of the work, it is absolutely insignificant. In international terms, it is very justifiable, it is less than two percent

It is quite unfortunate that this minister does not know his mathematics. 1.4b is 4% of 35b. Not less than 2%

If this is true, then I'm not surprised. Jimi has always been blocking PDP chances in Lagos. If pdp can put their hearts together, they will do better in Lagos than when jimi is flying their flag. You are getting contract from a government and challenging same government at the poll...is he truly a challenger at the poll?

Tinubu is protecting his interest not southwest interest. He needs the speakership to make keep the government in check to dance to his tune of actualising is dream of governing Nigeria. The north is also playing wayo with him. They are playing themselves. Let's see how it will end. He was opposed to his wife coming back for the third term but she won...we are waiting. Who no like better thing. I will prefer Remi Tinubu over Bola Tinubu anytime anyday

Celebrate your feat first and study harder. You can still top your class. However if you don't, just make sure you finish with first class. Good luck. Don't play down on God's factor.

Man united qualifies for the quarter finals

Good

naijapips04:
so saturday to next saturday is 8 days then? are you okay?

Don't mind him. After 6days is different from in 6days time. It was clearly stated on the heading of the thread that after 6days. Some can't just read simple English

Levant:
There is a difference between 6 days and 7 days.

After 6days is correct. It is not in 6days. He predicted correctly

jamaicabakare:
Fake News.

Try and verify information before commenting fake news...it is true and not false

The analysis seems to be balanced with possibility of few changes in some states. However, you can't rule out revolt votes against APC which may be the deciding factor in this coming election. May the will of God be done.

On May 16, 2017 , the new Berger Bus-stop was commissioned by the Akinwunmi Ambode administration.

The Berger-bus stop is located on the fringes of Lagos state that borders with Ogun state.

This key transport hub and interchange features an extensive pedestrians bridge, lay-bys, slip roads, public conveniences, etc.

The reconstructed/remodeled Berger bus stop gave the location a modern and coordinated ambiance.

Today, sadly, Berger bus-stop is fast slipping back into its former chaotic and dirty outlook.

Indeed, the new Berger Bus stop is fast degrading.

The place screams a lack of maintenance. The paint job is fast fading away, there are litters all over the interlocked tiles, hawkers have indiscriminately taken their enterprise all over the place, touts (agberos) activities further heightens the chaotic state of the place, etc.

Indeed, this further lends credence to the belief that maintenance culture in Nigeria is a big problem – especially with regards to public facility management.

Fast degrading headline for ojodu-berger bus stop is a wrong caption. Nothing is fast degrading about this place in question. That the place is being littered with dirt's as at the time you took the picture doesn't mean it is degrading. I pass through this route virtually everyday. I'm not into this your caption.

The fools say in their hearts, there is no God. God is sovereign and supreme. Believe lies of the devil to your peril. I rejoice with the VP for divine insurance over you sir. To God be the glory

This is getting too far. Lagos is under siege. This rubbish must stop. But mamora didn't disturb Tinubu during his own tenure now, rather they covered him and stood by him during the Toronto saga even when late Gani Fawehinmi was burning with fury on the matter. This nonsense must stop. God will deliver Lagos from the task masters.

Sorry it is 2:0

MrBanner:
Let's be realistic, Atiku's questions are far tougher than Buhari's yet he's doing quite well. Obi too is one hell of a brilliant mofo. I'm truly proud of these guys.

I'm even surprised he could answer questions as fair as he is doing... Tougher but I'm impressed with his articulation. I'm only surprised that many people here are being biased in their comments. These two as far as I'm concerned are far better than the duo of Buhari/osinbajo in the debate so far. I won't know if it was because the APC candidates were more in the defensive mode because they are the incumbents

Xfire Scholarship Hall of Fame

2017 === exe0 (Uniben)
2018 === Alphamaximus (Unilag)
2019 === eWyse (Unilag)
2020 === ??

I mean this hall of fame xfire since you don't want me to withdraw the 3k promise....lol For airtime. 1k per each winner.
We will talk on next year scholarship God willing.

xfire:
It was a typo error. He actually had 63.3% not 68.3% in the first stage test. Not easy typing 60 different scores for all 30 candidates.

That doesn't stop you from blessing the dude with extra cash though.

Xfire

I have been informed. Thanks for the explanation. Let me make the 3000 naira airtime for the Hall of fame of xfire scholarship quiz competition. You can do that while I transfer into your account. 1000 each per winner.

dejt4u:
1. Thank you for your observation
2. We did our best to ensure that no one is unfairly treated. The average was calculated with the real scores and not with percentages so as to avoid double approximation.

Let's me analyse that of greenya for you.

greenya
Test 1 = 38/60 = 63.3%
Test 2 = 40/60 = 66.7%
Total = 78/120 = 65.0%

This method above is what we used and I believe is the best way to do it. Remember how CGPA is computed in school. lol.

once again, thanks for your observation

OK. I appreciate this analysis. The score should have been used instead of the percentage. That would have saved the organizers of unwarranted embarrassment. Thanks for getting back and honouring me with your explanation. Greenya has not be cheated with calculation error, rather he has been honored with what he scored

Great job. However, I have an observation. Hope to explain my points during the day. Thanks.

Xfire

Modified
As someone who likes playing with figures, I have observed a few calculation errors. Worst of all is that of the average score of greanya...(not sure if the spelling is correct) who was categorized among the airtime winning winners however the correct average score should have earned the fellow #3000 naira prize. The exact average score of 68.3%+66.7%= 67.5%. This person has been cheated with calculation error... I will pay this person his exact prize of #3000 while the airtime sent to the fellow will be a compensation for his trouble. May your blessing never elude you. The fellow can contact me if the organizers admit their error. Thanks
28th: greenya (1st: 68.3%, 2nd: 66.7%, average score: 65.0%)

I'm impressed with this year competition. No issues as such except for error on the part of the participants. I'm also impressed with the distribution of the prizes. In a competition like this, one of the ways to encourage people to compete well is by making the prize of the winner attractive. This the organizers have been able to achieve. I'm impressed. I will want to be involved in next edition through sponsorship. God bless the organizers. God bless the participants.
