Here was the reaction of a supposedly Igbo lady to an insult which she aided to propagate against her own people

I think we deserved the insults, or else can one explain the fact, that we have allowed few greedy, insatiable money grabbers to hoodwink us into not making intelligent decisions as regards protecting our collective interests as a tribe!

Imagine people like T A Orji, Martin Elechi, Orji Uzo Kalu, Ifeanyi Ubah, Arthur Eze Iwuanyanwu et al claiming to be our leaders in the auspicious time of our existence as a nation! Tufiakwaa!!

The management of Cable Newspaper Ltd, publishers of TheCable, would like to make the following statement concerning our report on the lecture by Professor Wole Soyinka at the Harvard University Hutchins Centre for African & African American Research.

Soyinka was quoted to have made derogatory remarks about the Igbo over their voting pattern in the March 28 presidential election. He has since denied the offensive quotes attributed to him.

After a thorough in-house investigation, we have come to the conclusion that the story misrepresented the views expressed by Soyinka in the question-and-answer session after his lecture.

We take full responsibility for the inaccuracy and promise that we will continue to strive to improve our standards.

Also, we wish to reiterate that we take our professional responsibilities very seriously, as our readers can attest to.

We hereby offer an unreserved apology to Soyinka, Ndigbo and our readers.

Signed: Management of Cable Newspaper Ltd

Politics › Military Rescues Another 25 Boko Haram Hostages by Trailblazer1(op): 7:56pm On May 06, 2015
Nigerian troops have rescued 25 more women and children from Boko Haram’s northeastern stronghold in the Sambisa Forest, killing a number of insurgents and destroying Islamist camps, the military said Wednesday.

“Seven additional terrorists camps were yesterday destroyed as more terrorists also died in the ongoing onslaught to flush them out of Sambisa forest,” the defence headquarters said in a statement.

“An additional 25 women and children were rescued in the process,” it said.

According to the military, more than 700 women and children have been saved from Islamist captivity during a weeks long assault on the notorious forest in Borno state

At least 275 have been taken for rehabilitation to hospitals and camps in Yola, the capital of Adamawa state, which neighbours Borno.
The military said soldiers in the latest operation had to evade landmines laid by the Islamist rebels before storming the camps.

“Various weapons including Rocket Propelled Grenades, anti-aircraft guns and a number of vehicles were either captured or destroyed during the operation. Four soldiers were wounded and have evacuated for treatment,” it said.

The military said troops would continue “to search the forests for terrorists, arms and hostages.”

As the military has announced a series of hostage rescues over the last two weeks, the world has anxiously awaited news of the 219 schoolgirls seized by Boko Haram from the town of Chibok in April of 2014.

So far, none of the rescued girls have been identified as Chibok natives, but the military said nothing could be ruled out until each hostage is screened and their identity is established.

Many of the rescued hostages have demonstrated signs of severe mental and physical trauma and some said they suffered sexual abuse by Boko Haram gunmen.

this mathematical symbol is the very essence of management techniques.
from your simple maths we have
1.optimization
2.simulation
3.linear programming
4.break off point
it is this 4 basic tools that we use in management to source,administer and forecast problems and prefer solutions.
and there is modelling.
I have delved into engineering and science.

I think our none appreciation of maths and its application is what makes the ""oyibis"" to dominate the market.
it is well!!
you're definitely right from the perspective of your profession. What of psychologists and philosophers?

I use them every single day. Some directly (even sometimes consults my text books) while others indirectly - as a result of applied knowledge. Ask a practicing civil engineer if he doesn't apply bending moment or a practising chemical/process engineer if (s)he doesn't apply PVT equations (Pressure Volume and Temperature) in calculations everyday.

If you don't see the need to use your axioms, its either you're job description doesn't relate to what you studied or you're just not thinking deep enough. Its like a project manager having gone through the rigors of acquiring PMP certification saying (s)he doesn't apply cost/schedule/scope/risk management while practicing - simply because he doesn't have any need to specifically write "cost management" on any document.
you don't still get it.
The fact that those axioms are still useful to you as an engineer does not mean that they are useful to a philosopher or psychologist. Therefore learning such, apart from the benefit of sharpening the mind are not useful in reality to these professions

What? Are you kidding me?
I am almost certain the op has used touched-screen portable device before. How do you think those devices are made? Far more complex algorithms are simulated to test and fine-tune devices like that.
And what about airplanes? Do you think Boeing and Airbus just fix some aluminium sheets together and install turbine engines and people fly from Lagos to US in just hours? How do you think the airline companies come about the luggage weight limit for each passenger? Mathematical equations are used to simulate the aerodynamics of the plane for smooth flights, tyre pressure for take-off and landing, GPS and radio communication etc.
Do I need to talk about importance of such university knowledge as it applies to civil engineering? The third mainland bridge and the new 2nd niger bridge are not just some mixture of cement and stones. The bearing weight and stress from the waters are also calculated to determine the span, required strength and diameter/shape of the supporting pillars.

And like someone said, education obtained within the walls of the university is meant to sharpen your problem solving mind and not applicable only in engineering - very applicable in marketing, law, politics, and every human endeavor. It helps you (if harnessed and used like it should) think outside the box to solve problems.
you're getting the question twisted. Go through the op.

I'm still waiting for the day that I'm going to use those axioms and equation in real life

It is only a poverty stricken mentality that would be asking how to use such equation in reality ...... This is the basic reason why millions of Nigerian Graduate are Jobless ........ "lack of application" !!!! many don't even know why they are in school, what school is and the usefulness of the skills both theoretical and empirical that they gathered in four years which has been adequately represented in their certificate.

If you can't apply any axiom to reality, then you don't deserve your B.sc nor M.sc ...... SSCE is ur best bet.

Everything we study in school is useful to reality and humanity and there are thousands of more courses and axioms to emerge in the future ..... if they are not relevant to reality and humanity, Universities wouldn't have adopted them as something worthy of teaching to students. ........

As a kid I use to question the relevance of Mathematics, later as an adult , I discovered everything in life is held together by the MATHs whether in theory or in numbers.
I honestly agree with you that the axioms and equations contributed in sharpening our mind in school but my argument is that they have not been useful to me afterwards. (reality)
