I want to know whether Suits Season 6 will have just 10 episodes? Or are they on break?

KillerBeauty:
I recently just got a job and i wasn't offered an employment letter. They just told me my salary, period of probation and when to resume verbally without making it official. I'm kind of skeptical about the offer because the firm is a new one.
I want to know the implication of this before committing myself to the job.

You need not panic. The employer has up to three months to formalise it. Till then, the oral terms agreed on by both of you guides your employment.

I'm very impressed with not just the governor but Anambra State, the progress made in setting up industries is great. Anambra is now moving from buying and selling to production. To sustain this security must be no 1 priority, and then Anambrarians should reject visionless politicians.

all that eulogy for what What's the rank in the world, assuming this assessment is balanced? We celebrate mediocrity. Being a lion myself I cant eulogise this.

Eulogy? You called yourself a lion but couldn't recognize UNN's anthem.

Seriously, as someone in the field. I'm not worried about the questions. The grammar could be reduced to simpler postulations. My concern is the time. I feel that the time allotted for the question would not be enough for an extensive essays on those questions.

You use/overuse while it's charging. Try charging when it's not on.

[quote author=Tobi0908575 post=47270842]One very big problem Nigerians have is celebrating mediocrity. Covenant University or the so called OAU are not even among the top 1000 universities in the world checking any university rating what so ever. Still some folks are satisfied making silly comparison. To even compare a BSc to a PhD which is effectively what this argument is trying to say is total bullocks. Covenant University and OAU are both part of the Nigerian educational system facing similar challenges and are vetted by the same university commission

Thank you, dear. You're on point. I don't really admire a few OAU students for one thing: they are too noisy and boastful. Mind you I'm a proud product of OAU, but it doesn't mean I should belittle others. Private universities are good in their own way. The problem of some people is parochialism, i.e, when one has not travelled out. In the north, people there see ABU as the only university in Africa, so do people in the east see UNN. But beyond Nigeria, how do those universities compete? No point for looking down on others.

Some of the private universities employ the best lecturers in the field, even poaching from federal universities. Some people want their children to attend good private universities, but money is a hindrance.

Is not your Fault. Is this Strike that cause nuisance, if not GREAT IFE is talking, glorify Secondary School aka Covenant University where lecturer can asked Students to kneel down for not attend Chapel says he has ideal.Pls know your mate. We are not ESTU or UNN. God bless GREAT IFE. If OAU Sneezing the rest of Nigeria Universities will Catch Cool.

I passed through Oau, but I'm not proud of your comment. Why? Your grammar is poor.

Today, i decided to go sell off my ipad 3 and ipad 2 which i didn't frequently use,the ipad 3 has a cracked screen and the ipad 2 was fully functional... so i headed out to emeka offor's plaza from my place in asaba, i was filled with so much enthusiasm and optimism even though today was my first day of selling a gadget in a market like that..
Upon my arrival to the market, just at the entrance, i met two boys who asked if i came to repair or sell, i told them i wanna sell, they said i should follow them, we got to a shop and they asked the guy if he was interested and the guy nodded and said he was, then they said lets go and check if the gadgets had faults, we got to another shop and the guy said he would check for the faults by scanning with a laptop, he said it was #20 for each faults the system detects, before he started the scan i told him i only had 900naira on me as my tfare back to asaba and didnt have much to pay for scan, he went ahead because he had a plan in mind, at the end of the scan for the two devices, the total price came out as 17980naira...Jesus Christ i screamed, he said, bros am done with the scan and repair, i was like which repair Immediately the whole boys started gathering and saying bros "give the engineer im money na"
My head was full, i was angry and felt cheated, knowing fully well he did nothing but just run a normal scan which i witnessed...
I continously begged the guy and the boys there,even with igbo language but to no avail, at the end of the day, the engineer who has been admiring my blackberry Z10 now said i should sell my bb Z10 to him for 10k and he will balance me 5k or i drop the two ipads and go to asaba and bring his 17k,they had already seized the two ipads and threatened to call market security, i ended up selling the bb Z10 which i had and went home with 5k and still didnt sell the two ipads.....
Am angry and making this thread from the bus on my way home...
Will i like to do business with an igbo man again?? No......

I avoid Emeka Offor plaza like Ebola. Those boys are heartless. Took my laptop there for repairs, at the end of the day, they had changed some of the original parts. I've learnt my lessons.

linearity:
They can't without the consent of the relatives and it appear that, the laws are silent on what happens, if no one comes up to claim the bodies, hence the court order, in case someone from somewhere comes up tomorrow and sue them for burying their relative without their consent.

Yes, in the ensuing court case, the government will win, if they argue abandonment, but they would have to spend money to defend themselves each time those cases comes up(some hospital will even settle to avoid going to court)...but with this order, even if anyone file any case, it will be tossed after administrative hearing during pre-trials.

I think the laws should be amended to give the hospital automatic full custody of corpses, if they are not claimed with certain prescribed period of time and cases like these will not be needed.

Nice submission. It is not always a case of abandonment. There might be a scenario where two or more people are laying claims to a corpse, the hospital might be confused and just decide the keep the corpse. This is clearly not a case of abandonment but dispute as to the ownership of a corpse.

The hospital is being cautious. I won't blame them. If they are buried without court permission/order, someone might appear one day and begin to claim ownership of any of the corpse. In that case, the hospital will be liable to pay.

Re-apply with a correct email address because you can only be contacted by email and phone... Oh, yes, if the number is correct, I think you may give yourself the benefit of doubt, but I'll advise you to re-apply.

Thanks for replying. I have tried several times, it shows that I've already applied. Do they contact through phone number

I applied for someone, the issue is that the email I used is not correct, what do I do plsssss

What happened to the Chinese Yuan deal? Thought by now Yuan would be floating everywhere. Govt should be more open with its citizens.

Pls someone should help me understand. Why is the Islam practised in South West Nigeria very peaceful and accommodating? If you live with them you are even tempted to follow them to the mosque. But it's not exactly so with the North. I need explanations.

How do I subscribe, pls?

JayJohnson:
If you say Nigeria, then it is Accounting. In better climes, Economics would have been better. Let me quickly add that, without a professional qualification in Accounting, you will just be an Accounts Clerk.

That's correct. Economics is great. It's a science that's indispensable in running the affairs of a country; economists would usually be appointed CBN governor or Finance minister. But in terms of Nigeria context, accountants get employed easily.

I have got.

Sincerely it depends on what you want. I don't know what you studied, but let's say it's not education and you would want to really practise what you studied, honestly if you can get a job in your field that will pay you the same amount, it's better.

Finally, that money is meagre. Some schools pay better than that. You may take it if it's the last option for now, but then search for better Jobs while in this one. You will get a better offer. God bless you.

Femi Falana, SAN.: Going by the provisions of both the 1999 Constitution and the UN Charter on Human Rights, this heat is a gross violation of citizens' rights.

AntiIPOOP:
And so? If Nigeria needs to acquire China's products and China needs to acquire Nigeria's crude oil. We could arrange to swap currencies by establishing an interest rate, an agreed upon amount and a common maturity date for the exchange. Simple.

No need to be abrasive. We are all learning. You said: "If Nigeria needs to acquire China's products and China needs to acquire Nigeria's crude oil.", that's true, but the issue is that the volume of trade between China and Nigeria do not tally. Our imports from them outstrip our exports to them.

This is how the swap works.

We take like #30bn to get 1bn Yuan which will be available to people that import from China. Then at the end of a stipulated period we simply return their Yuan and have back our naira. But then we will pay the Chinese some interest.

The critical question would be: what do we import from China? Are they items that would make us eternal economic slave to them or ones that would promote and build our own economy?

I think that this deal with China is a good one and we need to applaud those who initiated it.

AntiIPOOP:
The school cert holder has done what a PhD holder could not.

Very simple economics. We buy most of our goods from China, so why must we pay the Chinese in dollars? The Chinese buy a lot of crude oil from us, so why must they pay us in dollars?

So PMB made a deal with the Chinese. We pay for the goods we buy from China in Yuan, the Chinese currency. They buy our crude oil and pay in Yuan.

The exchange rate is to be pegged at 30 Naira to one Yuan or RMB.

So how does it favour us? Simple.

The Yuan is now 6.48 to a dollar. So if you pay 30 Naira to the Yuan, that would be equivalent to 194.4 Naira to the dollar.

Since the dollar exchanges for 199 Naira, you save N4.6. 199 - 194.4 = 4.6. Simple, huh?

In simple terms, PMB has just strengthened the Naira by 9.15%!

And that's not the end of the story. As we begin to deal in the Yuan, the demand for dollar would plummet and this in turn would weaken the dollar. It would crash to around 140 Naira to the dollar.

May God bless PMB.

That's not exactly what currency swap means. The deal means that for an agreed number of years, the Chinese will allocate a bulk of Yuan to us in exchange of naira. We will later pay some agreed interest rate.

Away with sentiments, this situation, on the long run, if well managed, will have positive effects on the economy. But then the effects will not be equally felt. In fact, some persons may even be corruptly enriching themselves because of the discrepancy in the official and the parallel markets. Just like hoarding of any commodity works, some connected to 'high' places and with constant supply of dollars might be getting them at the official price of 199 and selling for as high as 350. This is fraudulent.

Back to the main issue, the first problem we should be worried about is the high volatility in the exchange rate. No one can safely predict things. It is bad for any business. Anyway, this, generally is nobody's fault, except that we have refused to diversify, and we virtually import every single item we consume. So, it seems the fate of the naira is tied to the fluctuations of crude oil price. The talk about any human, it is only God or his delegate can make it happen, making $1 =1N. That, if anybody ever promised, ought to be taken as a joke; possibly a comic relief from the heat of political campaign. It's a mere campaign puff.

I see a great opportunity in this. What we're not able to achieve by banning of some imports, is now possible with little or no effort. What we now need to do is to diversify and industrialize. This is the best time. Who wants to buy foreign stuffs at this rate? Locally manufactured goods ought to be cheaper. Then, the caveat is: how will the local industries source forex to buy machines and raw materials. This is where the CBN must intervene. They must allocate forex to these manufacturers if they are to remain in business.

My point is: if this situation is well managed, it will strengthen our economy; if not, it will further ruin it.
