Foreign Affairs › Re: IDF Troops Reach Litani River In Lebanon For First Time In Decades(photos) by TWoods(m): 4:56pm On Nov 26, 2024
Merchantservice:
This recent move by the IDF to reach the Litani River shows a dangerous escalation in the conflict. While some may argue it's a necessary step to counter Hezbollah's threats, it risks further instability and civilian suffering in Lebanon. We should be cautious of how this impacts peace efforts.
This is meaningless gobbledygook. There was no instability and civilian suffering risk in Lebanon before Oct 8.

Sp1ritHusband:
Last 4 years of Trump, what did he get right about the border?
4 years ago, he didn't have both houses of Congress. Without it, it is nearly impossible to pass meaningful legislation and executive orders will be automatically challenged in court. This time, he will have both houses. Think about it.

Trump's presidency has changed the game. Dems will likely swing hard to the right on immigration. If Trump goes hard on the border, no dem will be politically competitive undoing anything he enacts. America is done with illegal immigration.

Exactly what is Nigeria doing at an Arab Muslim conference?

The Palestinian crisis is nothing compared to the suffering Nigerians have to go through every day. The self-inflicted economic conflict in Nigeria has gone on for far too long... I also call for a 3 state solution for Nigeria - Biafra, Oduduwa, and Arewa.

Your mom overstayed her visa by more than 180 days. She's likely banned from applying for a US visa for 10 years.
Politics › Re: Japa: Resist Temptation To Abandon Nigeria, Fashola Tells Youths by TWoods(m): 9:04pm On Nov 09, 2024
Fashola, who admitted that things were tough in Nigeria, advised young people in the country to push their way through to get into a place of decision-making.

“Why did Mrs Folorunso Alakija not run away? Why did Chief Tunde Afolabi who have contributed to Nigeria not run away ? Why are they still here? Times were equally tough in their younger days that propelled the popular musician Dr Victor Olaiya’s song Ilu le o, ko s’owo l’ode…. (sics) in the 60s.

“The youths have become leaders in the Nigerian household, and therefore, they must embrace that responsibility. Do leaders also run away when it is difficult? There were tough times when Chief Ade-Ojo was at the University of Nigeria (UNN), but Ade-Ojo didn’t leave. If he had left, there would be no Elizade University.” he said.
Strange. Why didn't he mention his own kids?

The people he mentioned, and their families, all have second passports. I bet Fashola himself, and his family, does. Dont be fooled.

I don't fancy the burqa even as a Muslim. One can dress decently and modestly without covering the WHOLE FACE.

But
Cultural or religious dressing is basic human right and NO ONE CAN BAN IT.

I know frustrated pigs will quote me to say rubbish but I don't care.

All those OSU children of hate and perdition.
They know themselves.
IDF TERRORISTS SUPPORTERS.
So why do Muslims want to live in Switzerland? Why don't they stay in countries that share their culture and religion?

Am i allowed to wear the star of DAvid in Mecca? Muslims chanting "basic human rights", only as a ploy to force their culture on others... while being intolerant to others.

Education › Re: “Nigerian Professors Are The World’s Lowest Paid” – ASUU President Laments by TWoods(m): 4:44am On Nov 04, 2024
I looked up his research works and found only 33 publications, many of which are not as first or last author. 33 publications is a paltry return for a professor demanding a wage similar to his more productive Western colleagues. I could find none that were of sufficient quality that would appear in any prominent international journals for soil science. None appeared to have done anything to influence how nigerian farmers treat soils to improve crop yield in Nigeria.

He survived over 12 hours suggests this was a survivable accident (probably would have lost that foot). This is why people talk about japa. Being in a sane country isn't always about how much money you can make... It's about knowing that these types of survivable accidents won't end your life.

No, he is not. We need to get out of this mindset for things to change in Nigeria. He is spending taxpayer (not personal) funds to do work that he was ELECTED to do.

If I were asked what the stark difference between Nigeria and the Western world is, this piece would be a great example.

press9jatv:
#tinabriggsnews

GOV. FUBARA DECRIES PACE OF WORK AT OKRIKA GRAMMAR SCHOOL, SAYS THERE MUST BE VALUE FOR MONEY

...To read the riot act to contractors
Why would this be necessary? Wasn't there a scope of work agreed to and signed by both parties? In saner climes, if the contracted job did not meet specifications, you went to court.

press9jatv:
...Says 100% contract sum has been paid
Why? Are there no standard terms and conditions that govern payment for work delivered by milestones? How do you pay 100% for a job that hasn't been done?

press9jatv:
The governor noted his administration was touched by the very deplorable state of the foremost school and decided to give it a facelift and since the award of contract for the remodelling he has not visited the project but relied on the reports of the Commissioner for Education.
So the only time the government carries out its mandated duties to the people who elected it is when they have been personally "touched"? What does the education department do with its budget?

press9jatv:
"My assessment, to be very frank, I am not satisfied. The Commissioner gave me the impression that 70% job has been done. From what I am seeing here I need to take over the supervision of this project to make sure I give my people a standard grammar school again."
In more serious countries, this commissioner would have tended his resignation on the spot, or the governor would have demanded it. The commissioner not only lied, he could not be trusted to carry out a simple task and required the governor to supervise him/her?

press9jatv:
Gov. Fubara emphasised that he will be meeting with the various contractors within the week to read out the riot act on handling the jobs to them, stressing that his administration will not compromise quality and value for money.
This is silly and inefficient. What is the point of hiring commissioners when the governor personally has to meet with contractors to do work they legally agreed to?

press9jatv:
"I understand the issue of price differences, we can discuss those variations but the quality must match the amount that we spend. You know I am somebody who has to do with figures, so there must be value for money. At the end, our people need to be happy that we have done this and I also need to be happy that I did what is needed for our people."
Governance is not about the person, but about service. How roads, schools, and other infrastructure get built and maintained should not be based on how the governor wants to be perceived. It should simply be standard.

What if the next governor isn't "somebody who has to do with figures"? There would not be an expectation of value for money?

Again everyone seeing this thread. Please be inspired!. In case you have very good grades, you do not need an MS degree to apply for PhD in the USA. You can get admitted for PhD straight from your BSc, provided that you can prove to the admission committee why they should trust you with their Assistantship. Do not let this "Abule Egba US consular" misinform you.
Go to the universities website to find all the information that you need.

Shoot for the moon, the sky is your starting point.
PhD straight from a Nigerian BSc too. Not sure what that fellow is talking about
