I also use pureit water filtration but the water that comes out tastes a little salty. I noticed that the source water (from the borehole) is the source of the salt. So now I only use it to cook. I would have been happy if it removes sodium.

Pureit water filtration can not remove the salt taste from your water, the only economic viable system that can remove salt is the Reverse Osmosis (RO)System.

Do you also know that the quality of pressurised air in your tyre also affects it durability. When you use an everyday roadside vulcanizer to pump your tyres, there is a mixture of air, water and oil in your tyre due to the type and age of the air compressor used to deliver the air. So imagine what droplets of oil and water does to your tyre with heat as a result of friction from the road over a period of time. Always get pressurised air for your tyres from air compressors with water and oil filters, as this would increase the life expectancy of your tyres

School Certificate Examination where Abia State topped the performance register, CHARLES ABAH writes

Details of the May/June 2015 West African Senior School Certificate Examination emerged on Thursday with states in the South-East, again, leading in the performance chart of candidates who obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.

Abia State topped the chart with 33, 762 of its 52, 801 candidates.

This came as no candidate obtained five credits and above, including English and Mathematics from four Federal Government colleges.



The schools are the Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga, Gombe State; FGGC, Bauchi; FGGC Gboko, and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan.

To secure university admission in the country, a candidate must obtain credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics.

Anambra State came second with 28, 379 out of 46, 385 candidates. While Abia State scored 63.94 per cent, Anambra got 61.18 per cent out of 100 per cent.

Edo State took the third position with 38, 052 of its 62, 327 candidates getting five credits and above. It had 61.05 per cent. Rivers and Imo states came fourth and fifth respectively.

In the 2014 May/June WASSCE rankings, Anambra State led the pack, while Abia State came second.

However, with 4.37 per cent, Yobe State came last on the 2015 rankings list with only 646 candidates obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics. Fourteen thousand, seven hundred and eight-four pupils, comprising 10, 807 males and 3,977 females, sat for the examination in the state.

Aside from Yobe State, seven other northern states occupied the rear positions in the rankings involving the 36 states and Abuja. They are Zamfara (36th), Jigawa (35th), Gombe (34th), Katsina (33rd), Kebbi (32nd) Bauchi (31st) and Sokoto (30th).

Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings. In fact, 32, 595 males and 35, 578 females obtained the required benchmark for university admission.

The statistics obtained exclusively by our correspondent on Thursday also revealed that Osun and Oyo states placed 29th and 26th respectively. While 8,801 candidates out of 48,818 obtained the basic entry requirement for university admission in Osun, Oyo State recorded only 21.03 per cent success in the examination.

Of the 78,896 candidates Oyo State presented, only 16,588 of them obtained five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

The breakdown, according to a WAEC source, is the consolidated results approved by the council following its National Examinations Committee meeting held in November.

One million five hundred and ninety thousand, two hundred and eighty-four candidates sat for the examination in which only 562, 413 candidates obtained credits in five subjects and above including English Language and Mathematics.

In other words, 1,029,871 representing 64.63 per cent failed to obtain admission requirement to the nation’s universities.

The former Head of National of the council, Mr. Charles Eguridu, announced the release of the results last August.

A further breakdown of the 2015 results, showed that the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th positions went to Bayelsa, Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi states in that order.

Ekiti State placed 11th with 8,954 out of its 21, 333 candidates that sat for the examination getting the required admission benchmark.

Kaduna, Ondo, Abuja, Kogi, Benue, Akwa Ibom, and Kwara states came 12th, 13th, 14, 15th and 16th in that order.

Ogun State with 75,994 candidates occupied the 19th position. The state bagged 32.89 per cent with its 25, 006 candidates, comprising 12,059 males and 12, 947 females, obtaining five credits and above including English and Mathematics.

In the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25 slots are Cross River, Taraba, Plateau, Nassarawa, Kano and Borno states in that order. While 15,903 candidates out of 62,511 obtained the benchmark in Kano, 5,347 out of 21,695 got the same results in Borno.

Niger and Adamawa states occupy the rankings list ahead of Osun State. They placed 27th and 28th. While Osun State recorded 18.03 per cent success, Niger and Adamawa states got 19.66 and 18.08 per cent respectively.

Meanwhile, in the performance register for the 104 Federal Government colleges in the same examination, the Federal Government Girls’ College, Benin, outshined the others with 230 of its 232 pupils getting the university admission yardstick.

The Federal Government Girls’ College, Kazaure, occupied the second slot with only two of its pupils also missing the benchmark. But while FGGC Benin, obtained 99.14 per cent, its Kazaure counterpart, got 98.10 per cent.

The breakdown showed that the Federal Government College, Rubochi, came third with its 146 candidates, comprising 94 males and 52 females, out of 156 that sat for the examination putting up good showings.

The Federal Government Academy, Suleja; FGC, Okigwe, and the FGC, Nise, came fourth, fifth and sixth.

From the Unity schools in Lagos, the FGC, Ijanikin, which occupied the seventh position in the rankings, emerged the best in the state with 357 out of its 387 candidates that sat for the examination obtaining the basic university entry requirement.

It came ahead of the over 100-year-old Kings College (18th), Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba (21st) and the Queens College (54th). While 361 out of 452 candidates obtained their papers at KC, 181 out of 413 females succeeded at QC.

Occupying the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th positions are the FGC, Okposi; FGC, Ikole-Ekiti; FGGC Efon-Alaye; FGGC, Minjibir, and the FGC, Jos, in that order.

From the statistics, The PUNCH findings revealed that of the 74 candidates that sat for the examination at the FGGC, Bajoga, no one got the basic admission requirement.

It was the scenario at the FGGC, Bauchi and Gboko. Whereas 143 candidates sat for the examination in the Bauchi school, 144 females did the same at the FGGC, Gboko.

For the FSTC, Kafanchan, of the 40 candidates, comprising 29 males and 11 females that sat for the examination, no one also obtained the minimum entry requirements to the university.

Of the 26 Unity schools occupying the rear positions on the performance chart, 22 of them are located in the North. The other four colleges are the FGGC, Ikot Obio Itong, Ukam at 89th position; FGGC, Calabar (92nd); FSTC, Uyo (93rd) and the FGC, Idoani, Ondo State occupying the 96th position.

And when they were doing it, did she grant the press any interview. Why she come dey tell us now? I don't even understand the boldness. Before they use to be ashamed and crying that it was a mistake, but now they are happy and sharing it with the world.

I still don't understand the crazy logic behind having a very important commodity like petrol and refusing to sell to the public. It is pure wickedness. They should empty the entire storage jare.

This is made for the museum and not for Nigerian roads

Photoshop tins, you can't even breath properly at that altitude.

Now that is what I call enhancing the employee efficiency, on the other hand though, the employer should expect to see dissatisfied faces at every turn.

And the Nigerian judicial system has let go another highly placed individual. OK o!

I've tried but it not getting through. i don't know how to do it.

Its the same way you posted the article. #postthepicturehere

Disinfection
Waterborne contaminants must be either filtered out of the water or killed (inactivated) to make the water safe to drink. The methods discussed above are not suitable (except for distillation) for this purpose. As a rule, water must be disinfected using chemicals (oxidizing agents such sodium or calcium hypochlorite, chloramines, chlorine and ozone), boiling, or ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Water disinfection will not remove inorganic contaminants from water but it may change the chemical species of some of them and can form disinfection byproducts that may be of concern.

Boiling
Two minutes of vigorous boiling ensures biological safety 2 . Boiling kills most organisms in water (whereas chlorination reduces them to safe levels). However, boiling is costly and practical only as an emergency measure. Remember that once boiled, cooled water must be protected from recontamination.

Ion Exchange
Water Softening Ion exchange units that replace calcium and magnesium ions from water are known as water softeners. They may also remove varying amounts of other inorganic pollutants such as metals, but they will not remove organic chemicals, pathogens, particles, or radon gas. Water softener units work most efficiently with particulate-free water. Note that soft water, in particular with elevated sodium levels, should not be used to water houseplants, garden vegetables or yard plants with low salinity tolerance. Soft water may not be suitable for drinking due to its salty taste and elevated levels of sodium or potassium.

Always insist on Professionals for your Water treatment needs.

Today, homeowners have access to several water treatment systems to help control minerals and contaminants and to disinfect their water. Many homes in Nigeria have some type of water treatment device. Mistrust of public water utilities, uncertainty over water quality standards, concerns about general health issues and limited understanding about home water treatment systems have all played a role in this increasing demand for home water treatment systems. Private well owners also need to provide safe drinking water for their families and have to make decisions as to how to treat their own water sources to meet this need. However, choosing a water treatment system is no easy task. Depending of the volume of water and degree of contamination, the homeowner should consider professional assistance in selecting and installing water treatment systems. The process of selection is often confounded by incomplete or misleading information about water quality, treatment options, and costs. The following paragraphs outline the major water treatment options.

Particle and Microfiltration
Particle filtration is a process that removes small amounts of suspended particles, ranging in size from sand to clay, from water. It can be used alone or prior to other water treatment devices installed in homes. Home filters are not intended to filter large amounts of particles. However, larger filtration systems (usually located near the well head or at the home point of entry) are available to remove well sediments and particulates, depending on the well water quality. Microfiltration may also be used to remove some bacteria and large pathogens, like cysts (Giardia and Cryptosporidium). Note that microfiltration should not be relied on to disinfect water with high concentrations of bacteria and viruses; instead, chemical disinfection should be used. Other forms of filtration include ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.

Activated Carbon Filter
Activated carbon filtration, a form of ultrafiltration, often used as a point of use treatment, may be selected to reduce unwanted taste, odor, and low concentrations of organic chemicals (such as pesticides and solvents) from drinking water. Activated carbon will also reduce radon gas and residual chlorine. Larger filters are available to treat high volumes of water but these usually require professional installation and maintenance. Carbon filters will not remove or reduce major inorganic ions (e.g., sodium, calcium, chloride, nitrate, and fluoride or metals). However, some carbon filters can reduce lead, copper, and mercury. Activated carbon filters will not soften the water or disinfect it. If the source water is cloudy, a particle filter should be used before the activated carbon filter in order to remove particles that may plug or reduce its efficiency.

Reverse Osmosis
Reverse osmosis (RO) is becoming a common home treatment method to reduce total dissolved solids (TDS) in drinking water. RO, probably best known for its use in water desalinization projects, can also reduce chemicals associated with unwanted color and taste. It also may reduce pollutants like arsenic, lead, and many types of organic chemicals. RO treatment is not effective for the removal of dissolved gases such as radon, or for some pesticides and volatile organic chemicals such as solvents. Consumers should check with the manufacturer to determine which contaminants are targeted and what percent of the contaminant is removed. RO is not recommended for sediment (particle) and pathogens. Pretreatments such as particle filtration (to remove sediments), carbon filtration (to remove volatile organic chemicals), chlorination (to disinfect and prevent microbial growth), pH adjustment or even water softening (to prevent excessive fouling produced by water with excessive hardness) may be necessary for optimum RO functioning.

E no go better for this rain wey dey fall for Festac town.

Gooooal!!! Chelsea.

tit:


i marvel at your stupidity!
kai!
How will card reader stop anybody with many cards from voting?
Are the cards not genuine?
Will the card reader reject genuine cards again?

He is not stupid, the card reader is connected to the system and meant to confirm the identity of the voter, if you use someone else's card, you won't be accredited. Because the face and the finger print on the system wouldn't match.
Pls, try to get informed before calling someone stupid.

We have gone too far to be divided, There is actually no accurate way of dividing this country. Its is best we look for solutions on moving the country forward in unity or we just remain stagnant. For those seeking for division, pls do tell, how you intend we divide and along what lines.

I have not witnessed a more divided nigeria like this before. Notting is more important than the unity of this country.
I suggest that, Monetary gift should be offered to inter-tribal marriages of more than 10yrs. The marriages must be between Geo-political zones to be considered Inter-tribal. Marriages between the North and the South would attract a higher reward. I believe this would effectively enhance our unity

At this age, you would think people will start reasoning well and rational.
You pick up the pictures of dead people on the internet, put up an irrational write up, because of cheap political points. Even if you are being paid as an online political agent. Can't u have a conscience and allow the dead to rest in peace.

prettythicksme:
lol that nice but what about during the day will you allow her

Yea, if she wants to. I just love my ladies on bum shorts.

I have this picture of a good wife and a perfect family. And its really scary having anything short of that. I pray God will just show my the perfect woman for me.

These our politicians sef. They will come to the public and blast each other, then go back inside to eat in the same plate. No who una they try incite now.

I do enjoy evening walk with my girlfriend on bum short or short jean skirt back then. #dont ask me why, I just do. And I think I will allow my wife do d same.

See my fellow man's fantasy. My advice to you sir, is to go get the girl selling food close to your junction first before seeking the one on television. Or better still wake up from your dream.

Dat one na television and advert price. Market price dey different.

Nigeria, the land of unprecedented magic, the more you look the less you see. By 2015 bean and yam will start voting.

God pls let my people vote for a credible leader this time around.

"Our source said she told the Presidency
that she had been in the Senate and
understands how members think. In fact,
she reportedly told the President that
the idea was dumb,"

I can't help but laugh at d above statement. How can she call our president idea dumb in his presence, can't she use twitter or facebook, like the others are doing? Lol.
