This is great news about a Nigerian Inventor. More power to your elbow Erinle.
If this invention works as explained by him,I bet other countries will benefit more from it. We Nigerians naturally tend to appreciate productive Nigerians only after others have.

If 5 Nigerian Senators share 2 Ghana Must Go (GMG) bags in 30mins and 10 Nigerian National Assembly men share the same number of GMG bags under 15mins, how long will it take a single Nigerian President to vamoose 2GMG bags considering that 30 Nigerian National Assembly men have the same GMG consumption rate as 1 Nigerian President?
Take the Ibori Constant (IC) as the constant of consumption irrespective of EFCC resistance
You have 25hrs to solve the equation

Just 25 hours?You wan scatter our heads?
I have tried solving linearly but the number of unknowns/variables are far more than the number of equations I could construct. I have stepped up my game to degrees two and three equations but no luck. I am now thinking of going Laplace or better still consult more experts to try using Bessel function may be of the third kind.

Did you mean 25 hours or 25 years?

- from Olukorede Yishua -

Former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday said the late Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was forced by circumstances to defend his people.

Tinubu, who spoke at a funeral  for the former Biafran  leader in Lagos, said besides the three founding fathers of Nigeria- Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello- no other Nigerian has altered the course of history than Ojukwu.

He said: “After the contributions of our great nationalists such as Nnamdi Azikwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Sir Ahmadu Bello, no single Nigerian has altered the course of Nigeria’s history as the late Ikemba Ojukwu. He was forced by the circumstance of history to defend his people when he believed they faced physical and political annihilation. His reasons were clear to his people and his voice and strong determination reverberated across Nigeria. Ultimately, he altered the course of Nigerian political history in profound ways.”
Tinubu said though the late Ojukwu meant different things to different people, there was no doubt that he cemented his place in history by dint of hard work and commitment.

He said: “Ojukwu was truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igbo man, Hausa woman or Yoruba child. It makes more pragmatic sense to build Nigerian patriotism on those common values and virtues that are not in any way against the values of Nigerian patriotism.  If Ojukwu is viewed from that new prism, it would be clear that he was both a worthy Igboman as well as a worthy Nigerian.”

Quoting the words of Robert Green Ingersoll at this brother’s grave, Asiwaju Tinubu said of Ojukwu and his differing perceptions: “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower.  He was a friend of all heroic souls.”

The former governor of Lagos said Ojukwu was a man of courage who made his voice heard no matter what.

He added: “Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation.  His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that mattered to him, even in the face of adversity.

“He was rather defined by Igbo nationalism, if not irredentism.  But given the turn of events in Nigeria, with its continuous crisis of nationhood and identity, neither Igbo nationalism nor Igbo irredentism would appear illegitimate.

“His exploits both on the battle and political fields portray him as a restless soul, constantly engaged with the processes aimed at birthing an egalitarian society. He was a man with a most powerful narrative. An essential Nigerian story, with a career compelling in several respects. Ikemba Nnewi was a brave soldier and great thinker!
“Here was a man born with a silver spoon into the luxury of a high pedestal; given the best education of his time and had the world at his feet, but chose the road less travelled. He immersed himself in the service of the people. A man of scholastic brilliance from Oxford, Ojukwu chose to serve in the Nigerian military. He will be remembered as a fine officer and a gentleman.

“ Here was a man who was in step with the passion for his people and love for country. Today we say goodbye to someone who rode several storms of life and was never consumed except by the cold hands of death. The words of Robert Green Ingersoll at his brother’s grave are here appropriate, “This brave and tender man in every storm of life was oak and rock, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower. He was the friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the heights and left all superstitions far below, while on his forehead fell the golden dawning of the grander day”. Ojukwu carried on, no matter the situation. His voice was never drowned or silenced on the issues that matter to him even in the face of adversity. A General’s delight, Ojukwu was courageous and smart enough to know when to compromise, when to negotiate and when to silence the guns and exit. For the sake of his people he entered politics. His foray into politics, which though often controversial, was in tune with the spirit of Nigeria’s multi-party democracy.

”Indeed, the life and times of Ojukwu, in a way, is a metaphor for Nigeria’s unfulfilled nationhood.  No matter how Ojukwu tried, history would remember him as an iconic Ndigbo than it would as an iconic Nigerian – and it is doubtful if history would remember any member of his generation for iconic ‘Nigerianness’; or even any from this present generation.

”We all have shortcomings and Ojukwu was no different. Despite Ojukwu’s personal short-comings which by the way cannot be glossed over, he was indeed a great man. His life and travails revealed a nation constantly at war with its constituent parts.  Ojukwu is truly a product of the flawed attempt to be a good Nigerian without first being good Igboman, Hausa woman or Yoruba child.”

Fact !
RIP Ikemba.

To become a millionaire in 9ja without being corrupt or getting into politics is possible only if your parents and then you are extremely determined.
To become a billionaire in 9ja without being corrupt or getting into politics is IMPOSSIBLE.

If you say it is possible, then you probably do not count the little corrupt practices all over the place corruption.

A policeman has actually helped me in the past.
My transport fare was stolen by some pick pocket and I was stranded at Obalende. With fear on my mind I boarded a molue bus. A policeman in the molue saw how I was panicking as I will not have been able to explain myself to the bus conductor (he had already slapped a co-passenger and taken custody of his footwear for non payment of full transport fare). The poilceman asked me what happened and I told him I was a student searching for SIWES placement and that my transport fare had been stolen. He requested to see my ID card.I showed him and he then paid my transport fare and gave me some more money to take me home.

This is really very interesting.I agree with okeyxyz.

A language becoming dominant is as a result of it being more favorable for the survival of more humans. We all remember at a point in history,Latin was the relevant language to learn simply because of the economic and political prowess of the Roman Empire.Same happened with Arabic language in the middle east. If in the future say Kanuri takes over as the world economic and political leadership, then the whole world will gradually tune to learning that language.

By the way, That list is incomplete. Ghana for example, is not on it. There are more than 150 countries in the world. So,you can't rank when some countries are missing from the list.

Nice, creative composition.

Very interesting thread.

Waoh ! Nice to know i'm not the only man bothered about this. When we moved to a new apartment ,I just couldn't bring myself to have sexx with my wife until I had studied the whole area to be sure that my "private show" is secured. In fact I couldn't sleep for several days.

And for the ladies. YES almost any man will stop and peep if you make it easily available to him.

@OP
taking someone's work, flipping a few words around and claiming it as your own is cheap. . . . . . . . .especially if it is to bring traffic to your BS blog.

next time, give the TRUE author of this post the recognition they deserve:
www.askmen.com/dating/curtsmith_100/123_dating_advice.html

MRbrownJAY:
bro, the point is: nobody is going to look at the poster any differently if he says that this article was culled from askmen.com. . . . . we would still discuss the subject . so why pretend like it is his words? i dont get it?

is it just about opening "supposedly" juicy thread, write half of the article and then divert traffic to some BS blog these days? such threads are all over on NL.

Just that many people especially from underdeveloped countries do NOT understand that stealing someone's intellectual property is worse than stealing his money. My intellectual property is my creation;It is my child. You don't just steal someone's beautiful child and change his/her surname to take credit for doing a good job on the child.
So, IP thieves,be warned !!!

When you have power, people will be forced to speak your language, worship your God your way and do everything the way you do.

Whenever I watch BBCE on DSTV, their English sounds stoopeed. Why?Cos American English is what I hear all over the radio stations and watch in all movies. In fact British English sounds funny.Just imagine how they call "way" like "why".lol

@OP,
Let us assume that she is never going to have any tertiary education.Verily I say unto you, if you are able to love her in spite of her short comings,then you have truly loved. When do YOU feel loved?Is it when you earn goodies that you have truly worked for and deserved OR when you earn goodies that you did not deserve?Are you looking for a trophy that you can show to your friends or are you looking for love?Your mother continued to love and support you even though you are not the most brilliant and handsome kid in town. That is love.

If the feeling between you two is mutual,then let time decide if you will marry her. Don't let real love pass you by.
By the way:
Phuck her a few times first and see.If you are still feeling the love then I believe she is yours.

Ekans:
Poster,kneel and say a prayer with the engine hood open,then get up and shout IT IS NOT MY PORTION,and watch the problem go away.

@OP,
I can bet that if you had succeeded you would still have come here to rant on how easy it is to steal DSTV credit just by verbally telling them that the owner is your brother. If your ATM card gets missing,will you be able to withdraw money from your own account with your brother's ATM card just to re-emphasize what Odiaero said?

As for me I eventually realized the the fastest way to find my stuffs is to ask my wife. I gave up trying to find them myself a long time ago as I never seem to be able to locate them.

manmustwac:
We've had the same discussion in the past. And for reasons which I do not know the site administrator has not agreed to that yet. The only reason why the muslims got thier own childboard was because one of them threatened the site administrators life (via email) and they still come here to comment on the Christian childboard. Besides we do come here to discuss about religion even though Otto is our lack of belief in religion.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Is that trueeeeeeeeeeeeee?Please can you explain moooooore?

@OP,
Can you tell us his precise prediction as what I have always heard from him are ambiguous statements. All his predictions are neither here nor there.

I don't think the atheists will have much to discuss with one another as most of their yannings are directed towards theists.

@Justwise,
thank you for the link.

@Muskeeto,
1,000kbps=1mbps
divide both sides by 20
50kbps=(1/20)mbps =0.05mbps and NOT 0.005mbps

If all the students just stay online and watch high bandwidth consuming HD porrn 24/7,they still won't be able to consume as much as half of Lagos.
By the way the statement is ambiguous.What do they mean by "55% of internet traffic from Nigeria". What is Nigeria's daily bandwidth consumption.What is 55% of it?

Let's use this small math to show that what they are saying is impossible:

If each AUN student stay online all day (86,400 seconds) and uses high speed broadband 1.3mbps,the 2,000 students will consume
86,400 *1.3*2,000=224,640,000 mb

Now,let's assume the rest Nigeria has low speed internet connection,say 50kbps (0.05mbps) and just 1 million people  use it for just 4 hours(4* 3,600seconds),our consumption will be
0.05* 4*3600*1,000,000=720,000,000 mb
224,640,000 is obviously less than 55% 720,000,000 and of course i was being generous by assuming that all their 2,000 students are online 24/7 and only 1 million Nigerians are online only 4 hours per day and restricted to low speed internet.

Therefore, the said report of AUN using 55% of Nigeria's internet traffic is FALSE.
