As a northerner, I can't wait for the day I will address fashola as the commander-in-chief of the arm forces if God spare my life till that day. The man is hardworking, dedicated and intelligent.

May God see us through.

WOW! this is the most sensible thing I've seen so far on nairaland

15 AMAZING SCIENTIFIC FACTS.

1. Due to gravitational effects, you weigh slightly less when the moon is directly overhead.

2. Chewing gum or eating sugar cubes while peeling onions will keep you from crying.

3. Aluminum cans take 500 years to break down.

4. After spending hours working at a computer display, look at a blank piece of white paper. It will probably appear pink.

5. During the day, the cartilage discs in the spine are squeezed like sponges by gravity while you stand or sit. But at night, when you lie down to sleep, the pressure is relieved and the discs swell again. For the same reason, astronauts can be temporarily 50mm (2in) taller after a long spaceflight.

6. Ice is a mineral and is formally described as such in Dana's System of Mineralogy.

7. Laika (dog) became the world's first space traveler. Russian scientists sent the small animal aloft in an artificial earth satellite in 1957.

8. The Skylab astronauts grew 1.5 - 2.25 inches (3.8 - 5.7 centimeters) due to spinal lengthening and straightening as a result of zero gravity.

9. There are roughly 4,000 known minerals, although only about 200 are of major importance.

10. When hydrogen burns in the air, water is formed.

11. Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are more tightly packed. In fresh water, sound waves travel at 1,482 meters per second (about 3,315 mph). That's well over 4 times faster than in air.

12. Approximately 50-100 new minerals are described each year.

13. A common old wives tale is that fish grow to the size of the aquarium. Actually they will continue to grow as long as they have a quality environment. To find out, a group of researchers kept several trout in a 3 inch diameter tube. Clean water was constantly circulated through the tube. The trout eventually grew to fill the tube completely!

14. Mineral elements taken from earth provide the colors. Strontium yields deep reds, copper produces blue, sodium yields yellow, and iron filings and charcoal pieces produce gold sparks. Bright flashes and loud bangs come from aluminum powder.

15. 40 to 50 percent of body heat can be lost through the head (no hat) as a result of its extensive circulatory network.

ok, Have a nice day!

does that also apply to those struggling?

you called that 'robbery'? thought you longed throat for superpowers. lol

I am writing on behalf of people living in Abule Iroko, Ado Odo Otta Local Government, Ogun State.
Ive written uncountable petitions to the state government to help us control, or to say the least, minimise the flood when rain falls in the community. Please note that from Ajegunle before we get to Sango Toll Gate, the road there is more than been a deplorable state, its worst than that. I appeal to the state government to come to our aid. This afternoon after the rain, the flood at Abule Iroko could be compared with River Nile. We were made to roll up our trousers and pull our shoes. It was so unfortunate that three kids fell inside the gutter and they were almost to be carried away by the erosion if not for the timely intervention of some adults who quickly jumped inside the flood to help the kids. We beg you, both state and local government, do something. I appreciate all you've been doing but this is also important.

we ain't jazz in Nigeria. #IConcur

I went to Firstbank, Ijaiye Ogba branch for a cash withdrawal over the counter. I was told that I would be charged the sum of N210 for withdrawing over the counter. I wanted to cause a scene but I didn't. I explained to them that I also bank with GTbank and they don't charge a kobo for over the counter Withdrawer. I want to know if its only First bank that collects charges .

(This piece is dedicated to Hon. Com. MARIA ATERE of the
Department of Plant physiology and Crop production of
FUNAAB. Born in ONDO STATE, She died yesterday at the
university health centre due to the negligence and lassitude
of health workers.)
MAY 6, 2015, it was Mayowa Alaran (200 level first-class
student of the department of Human kinetics, University of
Ibadan) who died because nurses at the medical centre of
the university did not treat him on the basis that he could
not provide his matric. No or clinic card. He was too sick to
talk or write.
AUGUST 30, 2015, it was KEL (a female 200 level student of
the department of theatre arts of UNIPORT) who was left
unattended to for over 6 hours by health workers and she
died.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2015, OLUCHI ANEKWE (a female 300 level
first class student of the department of accounting of
UNILAG) who was electrocuted and medical personnel let
her die while asking for I.D card.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2015, AKINTARO RAPHAEL (an ND student
at The Polytechnic of Ibadan) who was neglected to die by
the nurses of the medical centre.
AND NOW HON. MARIA….WHO KNOWS WHO’S NEXT? IT
MIGHT JUST BE ANYBODY, ANY NIGERIAN STUDENT, ANY
LEADER OF TOMORROW!
All of these future leaders died in the space of about four
months. Do students’ lives matter at all? What of
KOLAWOLE MORENIKEJI OF LAUTECH who slumped at a
football match and medical personnel were unable to save
him from death? What of OLADIMEJI OLU, an ND1 computer
engineering student and a parliamentarian in LASPOTECH
SUG, who died after he was not attended to for hours?
FELLOW NIGERIAN STUDENTS, SHOULDN’T WE PUT A
STOP TO THIS? These are just the numbers that made the
news. What of the deaths swept under the carpet?
This is the situation in Nigerian universities today as Health
Centre has turned to death centre. My experience in OAU
where I school, involves cases where malaria drugs are
prescribed for stomach ulcer, diarrhea drugs prescribed for
asthma..etc. I’ve seen cases of unavailability of drugs in
the pharmacy during emergency, and if the patient is broke
to afford buying the drugs from common medicine stores
(where it’s available), he/she is stuck. I’ve seen cases of
ONE doctor attending to patients, with around 35 students
with critical issues on the queue.
Neglect by nurses, abandonment by medical personnel,
taking hours to attend to emergency cases, requesting for
I.D card or clinic card before attending to emergency cases-
all of these raise the question of competence of medical
workers. In a country where health workers go on strike, 95
percent of health workers are no longer attached to their job
either because they are overworked or underpaid or not paid
for several months. This alienation is what gave birth to the
“i-don’t-care” attitude that health workers give to their job,
especially in Nigerian universities.
There were cases where the only ambulance available was
not working, cases where there were no ambulance and the
university health centre is not working round the clock-
therefore raising the need for referral, cases where there
were no hospital beds for students in grave conditions,
cases where there was no power supply at the health
centre, and cases where there was no fuel either for their
generator or their ambulance. For an oil-producing country
like Nigeria, the blame therefore goes to the universities
management, the federal and state governments and as
such the responsibility to make a change lies on them too.
No excuse can justify the death of a Nigerian student given
the exorbitant amount of school fees being paid in tertiary
institutions. What of the diarrhea scourge that sent 600
students of a federal girls’ college in the south-west to the
hospital beds? Can anything justify that? NO.
The lassitude being shown by the profit-conscious VCs,
rectors and provosts of tertiary institutions which make
them ration medical personnel, and medical facilities should
not be condoned by any conscious higher institution.
Nigerian students should stand up (ignoring the cowardly
student union leaders of these days) independently of any
bureaucracy and take up protests and demonstrations to
compel their management to ensure adequate health care
services in their institutions.
The governments of these states and at the federal level has
to be obligated to ensure the provision of health personnel
and health services to the future leaders or our country will
have no future. This is not something they will give out in
their fortitude. Nigerian students must stand up to make
these bold demands among others which include reversal of
fee hikes and even the abolition of fee. We must demand
that the government should make provision for the average
and poor Nigerian youths to be educated alike. We must see
the reason to solidarize with health workers whose salaries
have not being paid in demanding that they should be paid
so that they can feel more committed to their work. We
must protest in our various institutions, we must protest at
our government houses, on major roads, at major squares-
In Lagos-at Abuja. THESE DEATHS MUST STOP.
Commercialization of education must stop. Students’
leaders should stop selling out students and take up the
responsibility they have been elected for. HON. MARIA’S
DEATH MUST BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF
PREVENTABLE DEATHS! IF WE FIGHT WE MAY WIN, IF WE
DON’T, WE’VE LOST ALREADY. The ruling class is waging
an economic class war on the poor and these students are
war casualties, WE MUST FIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES
FROM THESE ATTACKS ON OUR LIVES. PRESIDENT
BUHARI should address this matter as his top priority before
we have another book-haramic body count. Solidarities to
FUNAAB as you protest MARIA’s death today.
NIGERIAN STUDENTS, RISE TO DEFEND YOURSELVES…..
NIGERIAN STUDENTS, RISE TO MAKE CLEAR DEMANDS
ALUTA CONTINUA, VICTORIA ASCERTA.
Omole Ibukun is a 400L student of the Department of Civil-
Engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. He is a
publicity member of the Alliance of Nigerian Students
Against Neo-liberal Attacks (ANSA), the secretary of the
OAU branch of the Education Rights Campaign (ERC), and a
parliamentarian in the OAU Students’ union.

this is definitely making FP. congratulations to the new ooni. STC isn't a bad idea tho...gonna manage it till my time comes.

nairalanders, please like how much does my sponsor
must have in his account before I can fill him as a sponsor
so as not to have my visa application rejected? I intend going for my masters in York university. thanks

einsteino:
usually you wouldn't need that if you undergrad degree was from Nigeria. You should also read the admission requirements carefully it will be stated there.

thanks bro, I thought I would need to take the exam
I finished from oau, ife. I finished with a second class upeer division.
another question sir, like how much does my sponsor must have in his account before I can fill him as a sponsor so as not to have my visa application rejected?

Nairalanders, I need an urgent response to this question. I'm processing my application to study Cinema and Media Study on a post graduate level in Canada, York University to he precised. All the requirements are almost ready but I don't know if TOEFL too is needed although its part of the requirements. Someone told me that since Nigeria first and official language is English Language and that it's not necessary to do. I'm confused, I need a convincing answer if I need to write it or not. Thanks

I don't know if this is the right section to post this, the mods should help in posting it in the right session.
I've been dating my girlfriend for over eight months and we've gotten used to each other. apparently, her family members one way or the other know me and her mum undoubtedly know me well to. The girl is already a graduate since august last year and i would be through in school before April too and we've decided to spend the rest of our lives together. But during the night, I dreamt that her my gf and her men got me arrested by the soldiers for jilting her daughter. Fellow Nairalanders, I need a serious advice concerning this.

as if she kept hers. Hypocrite of the highest order. Na to dey lie dem sabi. mschewww

wow. absolutely amazing! A good way to keep remembering the clubs he played for.

ladies like you always end up being 'born again' after misusing the better parts of your lives. mscheeew. awon oniranu jatijati. You wanna have fun with married men...thinking you are wise. odeh oshi

this is the best post I've ever come across on nairaland since I joined. To put things straight, am a humanist....a religious humanist.

those bitches ain't loyal *sips hot tea*

for Jonathan not to include sambo, it means sambo won't be his VP

but I thought Mr Soyinka is an atheist

If you think you are a genius, solve this simple equation. If the groom is 23, how old is the bride?

woe to these Islamic extremists.
