buffny: Simple.
they are always trying to grab what does not belong to them.
they are always trying to claim what does not belong to them.
and they are ready to use violence to do such.
thats it. wht have they tried to grab that does not belong to them. someone had made this kind of statement here on nairaland before, citing that we buy land where ever we are despite the fact that it's not our home. now, tell me, why do you sell your land to igbos and turn back to say that they took it from you by force? well, there's no reason u can give beyond poverty. you want the money, and it was given to you, you turned back to hate the person that gave u thos mony. eediot. fraudstar |

what is actually going on in the labour market?
i'm a corps member and i want to use this medium to understand better what is actually going on in the labour market.
i graduated from a state university, with a very good honours, and the intimidation i'm getting from my fellow corps members that graduated from federal universities is just unbearable. Inferiority complexes are quietly creepping into my life
when i graduated from secondary school, i had admission in a federal university cu.m state university. i was offered civil engineering in the federal uni., and electrical in the state. my passion then was to study electrical engineering and i don't want to waste a year, so i chose electrical and that landed me in a state university.
the shock is that my fellow corps members were like i went to no school, employers don't employe graduates from state universities.
though i know that i'm academically sound, i have developed inferiority complexes. my thinking now is whether i will ever get employed.
please, is it true that employers despise state university graduates? |

Blackhole eating earth already? April 13-14 2010: Iceland Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupts again, and its volcanic ash goes over Europe over the next few days and grounds airplanes at airports across Northern Europe. There is a concern that a larger volcano Katla near it could erupt soon. Iceland has more than 100 volcanos, many could erupt soon. This could be a beginning to major volcano eruptions in Iceland and elsewhere that could cool off the earth, ground air traffic, cause no summer and severe winters. And note that April 14 a bright meteor was seen over Wisconsin. Could this volcano and recent earthquakes be related to the was seen over Wisconsin. Could this volcano and recent earthquakes be related to the CERN LHC experiments in France - either because a Black Hole has already been created by the CERN LHC and is eating earth's core, and could cause increasing earthquakes and volcanos around the world, leading up to December 2012 Doomsday, or because the CERN LHC experiments may directly affect earth's core and cause quakes and volcanoes. Note that 70,000 years ago the Toba supervolcano erupted in Indonesia and nearly caused the extinction of mankind then. Volcanos can be a major problem for man's survival on earth. The meteor over Wisconsin followed by the Iceland volcano eruption may correspond to Revelation 9:1-2, King James version: Revelation 9:1-2, King James version: "9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit." Could the CERN LHC be the key to the bottomless pit, letting the volcanoes and earthquakes occur, the bottomless pit being the core of the earth? earth? March 11 2011. Giant 9.0 earthquake in Japan off the coast, and a tida wave tsunami hits Japan. Then a 6.8 aftershock quake in Japan. Note that the CERN LHC particle accelerator in France began again near speed of light collisions on March 12-13, after winter rest. http://www.revelation13.net/earthquake.html |

Physicists in the house, is the LHC(Large Hadron Collider) likely to create a bottomless pit as stated by many people? I don't believe it can, but what about a black hole? Is black hole synonymous to bottomless pit? Is the LHC likely to produce a black hole. The scientists in CERN discovered what they called GOD's Particle or higgs bossom in the 3rd quarter of this year. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe. Two beams of subatomic particles called "hadrons" – either protons or lead ions – travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world then analyse the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC. There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions. For decades, the Standard Model of particle physics has served physicists well as a means of understanding the fundamental laws of Nature, but it does not tell the whole story. Only experimental data using the high energies reached by the LHC can push knowledge forward, challenging those who seek confirmation of established knowledge, and those who dare to dream beyond the paradigm http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/lhc/lhc-en.html. |

okunoba: Emotions can be a stumbling block to reason.
Will the stupid, dirty, ugly and intellectually inferior Yorobis(Yorubas) pursue a war against the whole of Nigeria and the great powers of the World? The answer is a big NO, since he his not full of himself and his judgement his not clouded by arrogance nor the believe that he his better and smarter than the rest of his black brothers The stupid Yoruba knows from his little knowledge of history that no one people can take on the rest of the World in battle and win, never as it been done and I doubt it will ever be done, Hitler tried it and so did Napoleon and both failed.
The Biafran war was a no win situation right from the start, it was suicidal to say the least. Nigeria was able to get the support of almost all the African Countries, the Western powers with the exception of France and the the Soviet Union at a time of the cold war when the west and the Eastern block never supported the same Country, but this time they did support Nigeria. With all the odds stacked against Biafra, why did Ojuwju pursue with this suicidal mission? Arrogance can only be the answer. The believe in your own superiority over us, the slow and retarded people of the federal republic of Nigeria.
In typical Ojuwju arrogance he failed to realize Biafra will need food which normally comes from the North, weapons and medicine which couldn`t be secured without the help of the enemy or the great powers of the time, but when the stupid enemy refused to feed you unless you stopped fighting, you accuse him of genocide, I guess he should feed you so you can continue to fight him. Before going to war one as to think hard and plan well, it`s no joke. But the man was young, ambitious and full of arrogance and believe in the Igbo man`s superiority over the rest of us Nigerians.
May the soul of the innocent victims of that evil war rest in peace Idiotticc utterances. ..mschwe |

Microsoft confirms Windows Phone 8 launch and encourages us to save the date on October 29 October 4, 2012 - Ken Yeung.
Earlier today, Microsoft sent out a bunch of invites to folks inviting them to an event where some “exciting Windows Phone 8 news”. By glancing at the email, you can clearly tell that the news was relating to the impending launch of their new phones featuring the Windows Phone 8 operating system
As The Next Web reported earlier, the new phones that we expect to be announced will be Nokia’s 920 and 820 handsets that will be available only through AT&T and can also come in the cyan variant Both phones will have LTE exclusively on them, but no price has been announced for either phone
This is the latest invitation that Microsoft has sent out today, Earlier they sent out an invitation to a New York City event where they would begin selling its line of Microsoft Surface tablets on October 26.
Microsoft will host an event on October 29 in San Francisco for its Windows Phone 8 devices and it’s looking like these new phones wil be available just in time for the holiday season. http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/10/04/microsoft-windows-phone-8-launch/

Politics › Blame Nigerian Government For Flooding In Nigeria Not Cameroonians by webcalculator(op): 10:51pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
The annual large scale flooding experienced in Nigeria following the release of water from the Lagdo Dam in Cameroon could have been curbed some 30 years ago had the authorities been proactive.
Lagdo Dam
Since 1982 when the dam was built in Lagdo town on the Adamawa Plateau in the Northern Province of Cameroon along the course of the Benue River, lowland communities in north-eastern Nigerian states (of Borno, Adamawa and Taraba) especially those located downstream within the River Benue drainage basin are usually flooded whenever water is released from the reservoir.
Following an agreement involving both nations in 1980, the Nigerian government was supposed embark on a similar venture along the course of the river, ostensibly to contain the gushing water released upstream from Lagdo Dam and curb flooding and attendant destruction of property and loss of lives.
In 1981, a shock-absorber dam was designed. Tagged the “Dasin Hausa Dam,” the multi-purpose facility was, besides cushioning the effect of the Lagdo Dam flooding, supposed to generate some 300mw of electricity and irrigate about 150,000 hectares of land (and provide crop tonnage of 790,000 tons in Adamawa, Taraba and Benue states).
Similarly, it was meant to provide employment opportunities for 40,000 families and make available navigational route of the Benue River to the Niger Delta. The project site is the Dasin Village of Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
But, alas, the idea was taken by the government of the day with a pinch of salt. And, like several other viable proposals, was ignored. Consequently, the flooding and destruction of property and loss of lives continued needlessly – albeit for decades.
Until the carnage that occurred last month, which seemed to remind officials of the forgotten Dasin Hausa Dam plan – more so when Cameroon authorities insisted that, come what may, they would continue to release water to save their dam.
The most recent release of water from the Lagdo Dam several Saturdays ago submerged hundreds of settlements in Adamawa State, killing people and displacing thousands of families. Many were reportedly missing.
The entire upper and lower Benue River basin was extensively flooded.
Worst hit areas are in Fufore, Girei, Yola South, Yola North, Demsa, Numan, Lamorde, Shelleng, Michika, Guyuk and Ganye Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the state. Additionally, seven LGAs in Taraba State were affected by the disaster. They are: Jalingo (the state capital), Ardo Kola, Ibbi, Karin Lamido, Wukari, Takum and Lau. The flooding occurred at night while the victims were asleep, leaving them with no opportunity to salvage property. Director-General, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Muhammad Sani-Sidi, had said: “Reports reaching us from Adamawa State have confirmed that out of the 10,524 affected persons in 10 LGAs, 15 people have lost their lives. The steep elevation of Adamawa Plateau coupled with the sudden release of excess water on 24th August, 2012 has therefore created a great risk of inundation of the lowland communities of north eastern Nigeria especially those located within River Benue drainage basin.
“This sudden release of a large volume of cascading water from the reservoir has put so many communities in this area at risk, threatened human lives, disrupted socio-economic activities, led to environmental degradation and large scale ecological dislocation.”
The scale of the flooding this time around has apparently called attention to the proposal for Nigeria’s version of the Cameroonian reservoir, going by submissions made recently by the Director of Dams in the Ministry of Water Resources, Dr. Emmanuel Adanu.
He said, “It is now imperative for the Federal Government to build a bumper dam to cushion the effect of water released by Lagdo Dam. We are already taking steps to do the construction and we have started looking at how we can improve on the old design. The size of the dam we are looking at will take us 36 months to finish it but right now we know that the original feasibility study that was done in 1982 is a bit outdated.”
He admitted that the flooding that ended lives and sacked thousands from their homes was due to inadequate provision by the Nigerian government to contain the water from the Lagdo Dam. According to him, because of the location of the upper Benue River Basins, which is the primary outflow of the Lagdo Dam, in 1980 an agreement was reached that Nigeria should construct a buffer dam that would help contain water from the River Basins.
Adanu went on: “The Cameroonian government finished the construction of Lagdo Dam in 1982, but Nigeria is yet to develop its own dam. So anytime the Cameroonian government wants to release water from the dam, they always alert the Nigerian government so as to evacuate people to avert casualty.
“The proposed dam, when built, will be 1.4km long, 40mm deep and containing 16 cubic litres of water. Aside being used for flood control, the dam also has some economic benefits like its ability to irrigate 150,000 farmland and hold 20,000 tons of fish annually.”
He stressed that the release of water on the 24th of August following the alert given to the Nigerian government on the 23rd was because of a torrential rainfall that fell the previous night and caused the rise in the water level of the dam. According to him, the water level of the dam rose dramatically and the spill was overflowed, so Cameroonian officials had to release water from the dam to avoid breakage of the dam which, he stated, would have been more disastrous.
“They released water in a large amount to ensure that the dam remains in one piece. It was not like they were not professionally behaved; they knew exactly the danger. It is our own responsibility to contain the water.”
He emphasised that the Cameroonians have strictly followed protocol wherein when the water level rose, they would inform Nigeria. “But, this time around, the water level of the dam was too high that they had to release water to prevent a dam breakage.”
Adanu stated that the new dam would take up to 36 months to build, adding that all hands must be on deck to achieve this goal. He said government is considering the idea of involving private sector players in the execution of the project.
But Saidu Njidda of the Foundation for Public-Public Partnerships Nigeria said that efforts to bring private investors on the board of the Federal Water Resources Ministry were being thwarted by government bureaucracy. He said that since the release of excess water from Cameroon cannot be stopped, construction of the Dasin Hausa Dam remained the best option. http://www.environewsnigeria.com/2012/09/10/30-years-of-nigerias-failure-to-tackle-cameroon-dam-flooding/ |
