My dreams and hope for a better Nigeria. A country where hardwork is rewarded, a country where corruption, nepotism, tribalism, favouritism and unfair advantages are void of. A country where that young child wakes up in the creeks of the least developed regions in the southwest or northwest and has hopes for a better future. A country where the true value of humanity is respected. A country where your religion isn't used as a tool for destruction of human lives and deterioration of an already endangered resources. A country where a progressive Nigerian state is prioritised over selfishness and greedy personal interest.
We are Nigerians and we can make it work. I know it's a long shot and may even seem impossible and risky. Keep believing. Keep doing the right thing. Be proud of who you are.

justwise:
Its highly recognized uni and one of the best in the UK.

Thanks. Do you have any information about life and accommodation there. From my cursory research, accommodation is a bit on the high side.

Please how would you all rate University of Surrey. Is it by any means in the league of highly recognised Universities. And yes! I know they are rated 6th in the guardian league tables.

Facebook, the popular social network with over a billion users world wide, has just been hit with a class-action lawsuit. The allegations, revealed in the FT, are that Facebook systematically scans the content of private messages so it can sell the data to third parties such as advertisers.

Facebook’s entire business model is based on the fact that it monitors what users write, like and up-load in order to sell this information on to others. I have covered some of the concerns about this in my articles ‘How Facebook Exploits Your Private Information’ and ‘How Facebook Likes Reveal Your Intimate Secrets’. In principle, there is nothing wrong with Facebook using our data to make commercial gains. In the end, the service is free and Facebook has to make money somehow. However, my biggest concern is that the data mining activities are not as transparent as they should be.

Facebook has been criticized for this lack of transparency on many occasions, but two Facebook users now believe Facebook has gone too far. Users Matthew Campbell from Arkansas and Michael Hurley from Oregon have filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the over 166m Facebook users in the US. The accusation is that Facebook is violating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act by scanning and exploiting the content of private messages sent via the Facebook platform without prior consent by users.

The issue here is that ‘private’ messages are seen by most users as exactly that: private! The accusation is that Facebook identifies website links (URLs) contained in private messages and then searches these websites in order to profile users. In their accusation Campbell and Hurley argue: "Representing to users that the content of Facebook messages is 'private' creates an especially profitable opportunity for Facebook, because users who believe they are communicating on a service free from surveillance are likely to reveal facts about themselves that they would not reveal had they known the content was being monitored."

A Facebook spokesperson told Bloomberg that the allegations are without merit and that Facebook will defend itself vigorously. Of course they would say that. The trouble for Facebook is to strike the right balance between offering a customer service in form of a free social networking platform and shareholder returns, especially profits from selling data and advertising.

To answer my own question from the headline: No, I don’t think that this lawsuit will be the end of Facebook. However, I do feel very strongly about the need for better transparency about how our data is used and believe it can lead to a loss of trust that could seriously threaten companies like Facebook. To me, it feels like Facebook (as well as many other companies including Google, Yahoo! etc.) are trying to hide the data mining and analytics activities in their very long Terms and Conditions, to which most people sign up but rarely fully read or understand. Maybe a simple opt out with an alternative “paid for” service would be a good option.

While NLdrs prematurely anticipate this youngster at Etihad, this news is not confirmed. Here is what i gathered from the official website of Manchester city.

Elsewhere, the M.E.N are also reporting that City could yet capture the services of Nigerian starlet, Kelechi Iheanacho.
After it was reported on Friday that the youngster would be heading to Sporting Lisbon, it has been claimed now that City are back in the driving seat in the race to sign him.
Brennan writes: "The youngster, who was voted best player at the under-17 World Cup, which his country won in November, had also been lined up by Porto.
"But City made a decisive move for the player before Christmas, although reports in Spain that the player has already signed a deal are premature.
"Iheanacho is now in Barcelona, and City are believed to be wary because the deal has already been put in jeopardy by the demands of people around the youngster.

A lot of tension has been drawn as a result of the inconsistency of Moyes, and only resently was he sent packing out of the F.A. Cup by a championship side. Worst of all is that this happened right there in the theater of dreams(with all their endeared fans watching helplessly) which has in recent time turned out to be a theater of nightmares. I read about a fanatic who committed suiced, not like its any news that people kill themselves as a result of poor performance of their football clubs, but how many more would have to loose their lives before this dude is sacked?

Let the pictures speak.

Peeps, you might have to bend your neck a little, dunno how to straighten the pictures. Thanks for understanding.

K

Cute pics but something else caught my attention.
There is a weird looking detail I spotted at the bottom left corner of the pics.

I sense and feel a godfather somewhere on NL is writing a complementing statement for young men.

Its only a matter of time...waiting.
@op thumbs up.

It all depends on what you want from a social network. They offer various and diverse solutions to social networking. Different strokes for different folks.

The first night of 2014 also brought with it the first lunar phenomenon of the year: a new moon that’s also a supermoon. It’s one of two supermoons in January (the other is January 30) and one of five for the whole year.

It's the first day of the year, a time when we remember the year that's past, make resolutions, plan for the year ahead, and just have fun! Different people have said a lot about the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and as the day draws to a close a lot of tired bodies retire to their domain after a presumed fun filled day.

This thread is just for fun, so feel free to share your experiences.

I spent the eve at church, same as over 70percent of Nigerians, thereafter had a phone conversation with some family and friends and then dozed off till 10a.m. Spent the rest of the day with my family and later on some friends. And now I'm back to the NL family. Lol.

So how did you spend these two remarkable days of 2013 and 2014 respectively?
