NYSCRe: 10 Reasons Why You Should Consider Staying In Family House During NYSC by XKZ(m):
XtraSmooth404:
I was in batch A. 'All the CLO stayed in FH' means that the CLO before my batch and the newly elected one when we were about passing out. Can't say who's the CLO now.
Someone reading your post would assume that it applies to all CLOs (especially as you said it will guarantee family house members access to information). Personally, in my experience most Corpers staying in rural areas do not stay in family houses (it applies more to urban centres).
In my case the CLO in my batch did not stay in any of the family houses and the one after him was a muslim and also did not stay in a family house.

(3) FIRST-HAND INFORMATION: This is sequel to point (2) above. The CLO is a corps liaison officer. Information on clearance, POP date & venue, NYSC-related matters, etc passes from the CLO to the immediate occupants of the family house before it gets to the ‘Ordinary Corper’ in the same village/town.
Not all CLOs stay in the 'family house'

Is NEPA and NNPC now imported into the country?
The answer to the question lies only with A or B since you are scared of Yes or No?
Even simplifying to Objectives you are still confused, I know someone who may be in the same Academic league with you, He equally attended a roofless class, I will oblige you a referral. Nothing personal just have sleep to attend to.
It seems your problem is that you don't know that you do not know.
And instead of educating yourself you are trying to bamboozle your way through with (what are probably) asinine questions.

Each of these firms (and monopolies like them) imported on behalf of the Federal Government (items that fell within their purview). If you were the type who paid any attention to the news you would have heard of equipment imported by NEPA/PHCN (250 containers) and left to rot in the ports because none of the successor companies was sure who now owned the goods.

How do governments create monopolies?

(A) By going to china themselves to purchase and have a bill of laden tagged Consignee: "The Nigerian Govt"

OR

(B) Limit the number of Govt approved importers, which is the right answer?

A or B?
NEPA was a monopoly, Nitel was a monopoly, NNPC is a monopoly. Which option do these firms fall under?
Until a few years NNPC was the sole importer of petroleum products.
When you have "Govt approved importers" that is not a monopoly seeing that importers is plural.

Does import restriction through Govt monopoly reduce pressure on FOREX, Yes or No?
Is a private firm/importer a government monopoly, Yes or No?
When a private firm has a monopoly on the importation of a particular good, it does not place any restriction on the volume/value of imports it brings in as long as it believes there is adequate demand since it's main aim is to make profit.

Not that we do not have brilliant minds and individuals who know what to do; but rather our leaders do not practice what they preach.
When out of government they are the voice of wisdom, when they get into power they are only interested in lining their pockets.

Allowing import monopoly in some key areas relieves the Forex pressure on the govt, guess you have never thought of it that way, lol,
This is not really true. The size of the market remains the same no matter how many firms are importing the product and companies will not import goods when there is no demand for the product.
Monopolies offer advantages such as economies of scale leading to reduced prices, large profits leading to investment in R& D, price discrimination in favour of the economically disadvantaged...
But we all know Nigerians were not enjoying this benefits, rather the benefiting monopolies used the privilege to extort Nigerians and then pay kickbacks from their abnormal profits to their government benefactors.

Tomoarika:
The UK Conservative Party’s manifesto for the last election proudly announced that all its programmes were fully costed and were therefore implementable.
Neither APC nor PDP can make a similar claim. A plan without the dollar or Naira signs to it is nothing but a wish-list.
They are not telling us how much each of their promises will cost and where they will get the money.
No matter who we vote, the next 4 years looks bleak.
This is a strong indictment on Nigerians. We put ourselves in this position by promoting politicians based on sentiments and "stomach infrastructure".
What's really sad is that we are not learning from our mistakes.
RomanceRe: 5 Tips To Dating Older Women | Sugar Mummy by XKZ(m): 12:17am On Jan 24, 2015
seunrebirth:
1. Be Assertive

This is not the time to be shy. Be direct and ask her out with confidence. Nothing is sexier than a man who knows what he wants.

2. Avoid Labels

Don’t make references to her as a “cougar.” Many women still find the term offensive.

3. Ignore the Age Gap

You’re just stating the obvious, and she’s well aware that she’s older.

4. Take it Slow

Sure, the s-e,x is hotter than any you’ve had before. But get to know her outside the bedroom, too. Ask her what she likes. Then follow through. She’ll want you as much as you want her.

Chinua Achebe, in his epic book, Things Fall Apart, illustrated this. In the book, Obi Okonkwo lost the respect of his people, on his return from abroad where he had gone for studies because he only spoke “is and was.” His people expected their son to have spoken like Pastor Chris Okotie and Hon. Obayegbon, who would dazzle you with “big grammar.”
This is actually from Chinua Achebe's book, "No Longer at Ease".
PoliticsAmbode Promises To Build 'world Class Stadium' In Ajegunle by XKZ(op): 9:14am On Jan 23, 2015
The Lagos State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Akinwunmi Ambode, has promised to build a world-class stadium for residents of Ajegunle, a surburb in the Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state.



He said if voted into power, he would help to develop young talents in the area by providing enabling social amenities and infrastructure.

Ambode, who spoke during a rally on Thursday, said he had lived and worked in the area as a local government worker and understood the needs of the people.

He added that he would continue from where the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, stopped.

He said, “I have worked and lived here before. I know what you want and I am going to do it for you. I have learnt from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola; I am better than other governorship candidates and I am going to complete all ongoing projects by the state governor.

“We have great entertainers and footballers here, why can’t we produce world champions from here? We are going to construct a stadium for you here that will look like the Maracana stadium and also encourage the artistes to become world class.”

He also pledged to ensure that upcoming artistes were given due recognition and empowered to compete on the international stage.

He lied because he is Bill Clinton not because he is a lawyer. People lie everyday and they are no where near being lawyers. Buhari here has told us several versions of what happened to his SSCE and even swore to an Oath on the fact that the army has it, then the army came out to deny it. Did Buhari perjure because he is a lawyer?


Your example does not hold water. Cite another
Well, you have made a very good point. But if that's the standard we are going to use to determine if lawyers lie then it will be hard to prove it. Because you might as well argue that lawyers who were disbarred for lying are an aberration (and lie because they are liars ordinarily), that the vast majority of lawyers are not liars hence have not been disbarred.


A New York woman tripped on the street across from a church, but changed her story when her lawyers told her
there was more money in suing churches than homeowners. They pulled the client's statements from the file and hired another lawyer to handle the trial. When they faced the NY disciplinary authorities, the two lawyers admitted their conduct was "dishonest and shameful," said they were really really sorry (I assume), and excused
themselves on the grounds of their "youth and inexperience."
They were suspended for 9 months.

How does free internet connection better the life of a lagosian leaving in the slum or a child hawking on the street or a poor widow nd how does it affect the life of those leaving below #150 a day; creating free internet would further push people into poverty rather rescuing them from it; imagine businesses that would collapse. Please let our politicians try to set reasonable and realistic goals, once that would affect generally the life of the masses. I hope he is also ready 2 supply free computers and laptops to the beggars in the street. Let us find a way to tackle poverty caused by corruption,insecurity,proper medical care, electricity and not irrelevant things like free internet.

The increasing access to technology such as mobile phones has already proven to provide developing nations with further economic development opportunities. Increasing access to the Internet can, for example, improve low income individuals' access to financial services such as savings accounts and enable online trading.

It is also an educational resource giving students access to e-libraries, online educational tools and resources that they may not necessarily have access to.

A 2011 report to the UN Human Rights Council emphasised that "without Internet access, which facilitates economic development and the enjoyment of a range of human rights, marginalised groups and developing States remain trapped in a disadvantaged situation, thereby perpetuating inequality both within and between States."

Several countries already consider access to the internet a human right because it is essential in order for citizens to exercise and enjoy their rights to Freedom of expression and opinion and other fundamental human rights

It actually says a lot about our society that so many people can't see it's importance.
