@tumebaba Thanks for that, so how can I upgrade it to IOS 6, I dont even mind if the jailbreak is removed...Thanks

Kunle can I transfer the amount to your phone number?....

victor08: [size=18pt]You are among the people coming here to insult your president. If the war breaks out- everybody will loose in this country. Go and see what is happening in Libya now. They succeeded in removing Gaddafi but no peace for the country and it will take take them many years to rebuild if at all they can unite to do what Gaddafi did for them.

You come to Nairaland and post rubbish because its FREE. How many of you can pay money to come and post this useless things if the owner of this website starts charging you guys?[/size]

My brother just take a hard look at yourself and re-read what you just posted. We are discussing about the worthiness of obtaining a loan of $1Billion dollar after spending N1 Trillion per year that is more than N2 Billion per day, you talking about supporting the President and paying to post on Nairaland..smh..It just doesn't add up dude, so you saying we mustn't have positive discussion again because Jonathan is the President?, O Lord, what's wrong with youths of nowadays, citizens of developed countries even engage their government in positive discussion to weigh out pros and cons before a decision is made. This is not about religion, tribalism or political affiliation..It's about what will affect you and me even after Jona.daft goes to Otuoke...I REST MY CASE

victor08: [size=18pt]You talk like an illiterate without sense of reasoning?

What do you know about the budgets appropriated for defense in this country? When foreign and local security experts are saying that the money won't be enough. Are you aware that the money that is been given to the army in the last 4 years is not the same as announced by National Assembly. Before the funds even gets to the Army account-a huge chunk of it have been the deducted by lawmakers.

Do you really know how much a fighter jet costs?

Do you really know how much a modern armored tank cost?

Do you know the price of high tech helicopter that can fly in the sky and detect moving objects as far as 2000 feet.

What about compensation for families of chibok and soldiers that have lost their lives?

Do you know that Borno State is almost 91,000 sq km. with the most difficult terrain? Almost X11 of Abuja put together.

We must support Jonathan to fight these dare devil agents BOKO HARAM and stop this unrealistic accusations about stealing the money when you can't prove it. Boko Haram is well equipped and the only way to win this war is to support the military to win it for us not with our dirty comments.

Keep shut, Teacher no Teach me nonsense....Are you the security expert that know that 3 Trillion in 3 years won't be enough, or you part of the government, or in which capacity are you making this useless statement that almost 2 Billion per day is not enough, abeg Oga park well, we know you sycophants, besides you not more intelligent that people that have spoken...rubbish.

Whao...this is what I call intellectualism...it's not just about shouting GEJ till 2019, but about detailed reasoning with facts and figures...where are the PDP insincerenigeria etc....Plz come and defend your pay check...God bless you gbajabiamila or whatever is your name...Thank you for this detailed analysis...And it baffles me that you cannot see a PDP senator or Rep member that thinks like this...SHAME

I just shake my head, because most people commenting on this particular thread are not even living in Osun State, then how can you know what's happening overthere. The issue is that the Jona.daft led PDP Federal government have been deliberately delaying the payment of Federal allocation to Osun state coffers since the beginning of this gubernatorial electioneering period, so as to invoke the workers hatred towards the APC governor. It's a well and good calculated attempt, but they were however surprised how Ogbeni has been able to defy all odds and still pay salaries on time. How daft could they be, and all other PDP, even till now am sure the July allocation hasn't been received, and yet the the workers have been paid July salary....KUDOS to the man of the people AREGBERASCAL...come August 9, this dude is getting re-elected, and PDP that can bet the deletion/deactivation of his/her moniker/profile with mine can hit me up, those that registered before 2011, not newbies PDP (sorry).

luluosas: Well, Night plan is a different plan which will not be updated should you buy this SME data share. So I advice that you exhaust your night plan before buying this plan.
Yes, I sell and below is my price list. Thank you.

Guy no offense, my advice is for you to crash your price, just like I have advice other sellers that are now selling it for 1GB for N1000, you still make your profit...The cheapest now is this dude here..https://www.nairaland.com/1826068/affordable-mtn-data-mobile-users#24914744

And its getting cheaper by the day, previously, sellers on Nairaland are selling 1GB for as high as N1400, but now some sellers have crashed the price to 1GB for N1000, presently the cheapest is https://www.nairaland.com/1826068/affordable-mtn-data-mobile-users#24914744

@Kunle, why the N1200 again for 1GB for the recharge card payment, I think its better at most you make it N1100 which is still much more understandable, since you selling it for N1000 for 1GB already, by doing this you stand a chance of pulling more customer to you from OCTAV~, and we your potential customers will advertise for you, because am contemplating of buying today as well.

Are u going to support a camp that says Nigeria will be history if their candidate is not re-elected ? Are u going to support a person who says corruption is not the problem of Nigeria ? Are u going to support a president who ask his minister to go in peace after killing tens of unemployed youths through negligence? If your answers are yes, then I wish u Goodluck

Why cant they post the picture of their own mammoth crowd of their rallies?.. ..lol , Quote me anywhere if Aregberascal didnt win this election, I will surely delete this my moniker/profile registered since 2007...Am throwing this challenge open to anyone that registered before 2010 (not newbies) and wants to bet with his/her moniker/profile with me to quote me...time starts now

The question now is that, why is the Card Reader not used for the Ekiti and upcoming Osun elections, thats the $1million question ?...Btw members of PDP have been allegedly going around in every state, giving out fake employment forms, to collect unsuspecting voters PVC serial numbers, so as to clone their PVC before the 2015 elections...By the special grace of God all/any rigging attempt by both paties will surely fail, let people's vote count, thats all we saying, ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

For those PDP saying its not possible

Russian Voters Defrauded With Invisible Ink
Hardly a week after Russia held regional parliamentary elections on March 1st, electoral monitors are bringing forth the sneakiest scandal to strike the country’s electoral system. As the Gazeta.ru online newspaper reports Tuesday (Rus) the alleged fraud involves something most commonly found in a practical joke catalog. Just Russia, a minority political party, claims that voters were given pens filled with disappearing ink, with the result that any vote recorded would simply fade off the ballot. Blank ballots are considered invalid under Russian law.

Nikolai Levichev, who leads the Just Russia fraction in the State Duma, said his party’s observers noticed the faulty pens in 6 polling places in the southern city of Volgograd. Levichev showed journalists videotape from one polling center that seemed to back his assertion.

In the video, an older pensioner fumbles near the ballot box, suddenly noticing that her ballot selection has disappeared, leaving her with a blank slip.

The pensioner turns to an incredulous election worker, who uses a pen from the ballot booth to write “I don’t believe you,” on the ballot. Several minutes later, the phrase fades from sight, much to the surprise of astonished onlookers.

A ballot count later found 285 invalid slips at the polling place, most of them blank. A recount, conducted upon request from a local candidate from the pro-Kremlin United Russia party, was even more shocking. Conducted on March 8th, the recount found an extra 206 votes for the United Russia party. Levichev asserts that ballots that were initially blank now had “writing and graphical representations made with the same handwriting.” In such a way, United Russia may have been trying to make a safety net and ensure that it received a certain percent of votes in the election, Levichev said.

Just Russia is not the first party to assert that disappearing ink was used in the recent elections. The two other parties in Parliament, the Russian Communist Party (CPRF) and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR), expressed identical concerns. “Our observers recorded similar violations in tens of polling stations in the [Volgograd] oblast,” said Sergei Ivanov, an LDPR deputy.

Russia’s Central Electoral Commission (CEC), which oversees elections, said that using invisible ink did not formally violate any laws, suggesting that the tactic was a sort of loophole. As of yet, the Commission had not formally looked into the allegations.

CEC member Igor Borisov told Gazeta.ru that electoral law dictates that polling stations must contain a pen, but that the law does not define what the composition of the ink must be.

“Although truth be told, we understand a pen to be a means of writing, whose mark does not rub off,” he clarified. “That is to say, for instance, it can’t be a pencil.”

Just Russia says it will consider all its options in the near future, and that it is prepared to take the matter to court. They’re probably hoping the case won’t simply disappear.

Invisible ink, also known as security ink, is a substance used for writing, which is invisible either on application or soon thereafter, and can later be made visible by some means. Invisible ink is one form of steganography, and it has been used in espionage. Other uses include anti-counterfeiting, property marking, hand stamping for readmission, fun children's games, and marking for the purpose of identification in manufacturing.

Invisible ink can be applied to a writing surface with a specialty purpose stylus, stamp, fountain pen, toothpick, calligraphy pen or even a finger dipped in the liquid. Once dry, the written surface looks as if it were blank, with a similar texture and reflectivity as the surrounding surface.

The ink can be later made visible by different methods according to the type of invisible ink used. The ink may be revealed by heat or by application of an appropriate chemical, or it may be made visible by viewing under ultraviolet light. Inks which are developed by a chemical reaction may depend on an acid-base reaction (like litmus paper), reactions similar to the blueprint process, or any of hundreds of others. Developer fluids may be applied using a spray bottle, but some developers are in the form of vaporous, e.g. ammonia fumes used to develop phenolphthalein ink.

There are also toy invisible ink pens which have two tips—one tip for invisible ink writing, and another tip for developing the ink. Invisible ink is sometimes used to print parts of pictures or text in books for children to play with, always including a "decoder pen" which is used to show the invisible parts of texts or pictures, thus revealing answers to questions printed in regular ink or completing missing parts of pictures.

Security marker pens or UV Markers with fluorescent ink that glows when illuminated with a UV light is often used to invisibly mark valuable household items in case of burglary. There are especially security maker pens formulated for writing on non-porous surfaces such as glass, plastics, metals, etc. The inks that have been applied and can then be identified by using a black light or other UV light source. Security marker pens can be obtained commercially and are widely used as a crime countermeasure.

Some commercially available invisible inks glow very brightly, in a variety of colors, under UV light. This makes them suitable for use in readmission such as hand stamping.

There some invisible ink types that can only be invisible when applied to certain types of surfaces, but are still visible on others.

Some vendors now offer invisible ink for use in computer inkjet printers. Such inks are usually visible under ultraviolet light. Typical uses include printing information on business forms for use by the form processor, without cluttering up the visible contents of the form. For example, some United States Postal Service mail sorting stations use UV-visible ink to print bar codes on mailed envelopes giving routing information for use by mail handling equipment further down the line before delivery.

Very rarely, invisible ink has been used in art. It is usually developed, though not always.[1] There are artists who use the effect in conjunction with invisible and other reactive inks and paints to create a variety of effects when used in conjunction with UV lights.

An E2E voting system called Scantegrity II uses invisible ink to enable the voter to obtain a confirmation code only for the voted selection

Invisible ink: how they rigged the vote
Pens filled with disappearing ink. Hospital patients forced to vote in exchange for treatment. Students instructed to show their ballots to professors.

These are just some of the tricks used to skew Ukraine's disputed presidential election, observers say.

As the Supreme Court grappled for a third day today with the country's spiralling election crisis, legal experts, election monitors, and politicians said it could take weeks to unravel the knot of irregularities.

The Central Election Commission declared Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich the winner of the November 21 runoff for the presidency with a margin of 3 per cent - or some 880,000 votes - ahead of the top opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko.

International observers noted numerous election flaws and described them as blatantly counter to Ukrainian laws and international standards. Those allegations are the basis of the case the opposition has presented to the Supreme Court asking it to name Yushchenko the winner.

The examples filed to the Supreme Court focus on eight eastern and southern regions with more than 15 million votes, almost half of the total cast in the runoff.

Yushchenko's lawyers and observers pointed to turnout figures that exceeded 127 per cent in some precincts. Observers mainly attributed this to pro-Yanukovich activists who travelled across the country and voted many times as absentees.

"You can achieve 127 per cent ... if you have several well-organised groups to travel around," said Peter Novotny, the head of the 1,000-strong observer mission of the European Network of Election Monitors, who described the vote as "an outright fraud."

Prison officials were reported to have forced inmates to vote for the government candidate. One Western observer who spoke on condition of anonymity said some hospital patients were told to vote for a specific candidate if they wanted treatment.

Students said they were stripped of their right to a secret ballot, or face the loss of privileges.

"We had to, or we could have lost our rooms on campus" said Serhiy, a student from Yanukovich's eastern stronghold of Donetsk, who only gave his first name for fear of reprisals.

Ukraine's opposition has produced transcripts of telephone conversations between pro-Yanukovich officials, allegedly taped by Ukraine's Security Service, that purportedly document vote-rigging. One exchange, published on the Ukrayinska Pravda Web site, went like this:

Official 1: "Why is the voting rate in the Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk regions so low?"

Official 2: "We're increasing it now."

Official 1: "Don't drag things out."

The opposition also blamed the Central Election Commission for producing inaccurate voting lists. In the Donetsk region alone, observers registered over half a million more voters in the runoff than in the first round.

"We repeatedly demanded straight figures from the CEC. It didn't happen," Novotny said.

Yanukovich representatives have filed counter-complaints alleging fraud in Yushchenko's favour, mainly in western regions considered opposition strongholds. Charges included election day campaigning and ballot boxes shortages.

Stephen Sestanovich, a US observer from the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations, said his his delegation saw "the use of ink that disappeared in four minutes" - a practice that came to light when people started noticing some ballots in the transparent boxes were blank.

"We were also given a box of funny-looking purple pencils and told to leave them near voting booths in a (pro-Yushchenko) neighbourhood," Serhiy said.

"When we tried them, the ink disappeared after four or five minutes. Honestly! We thought that was funny," he said.

Violence was also employed, with many observers being threatened or beaten. A policeman guarding ballots was killed, and another was beaten in a separate incident.

Novotny said one group of his observers was held at gunpoint in eastern Ukraine. He declined to name the region because the observers were still there.

Monitors also noted the technique of "home-voting," a provision for the elderly, disabled and others unable to leave their homes. Between the Oct. 31 first round and the runoff, the number of voters who applied for home voting doubled, Novotny said.

Election officials were also reported to have simply allotted "entire piles of ballots" to Yanukovich, Novotny said. "We had cases where the entire vote-counting was over in less than 20 minutes."

Whao...front page mod..This is the full APC petition, let's have a serious debate on the veracity of this accusation.

Seun I surely believe this thread will be moved to the FP, if it's PDP news it's always on the FP ASAP, such as when APC motion on this same Ekiti election petition was struck out this week.

Let see if Nairaland is now pro-PDP or still neutral.

datalossvictim1: First of all that is what is known as premature ejaculation. It is a sexual dysfunction so whoever has it should seek help. The doctors will help you cure it instead of becoming angry at women. It is abnormal. Secondly, are you saying that in 'those days' all men had this dysfunction? Because I would like to think the opposite since they ate a lot of organic food.

Not that you might care but there are loads of good girls out there, even the Brazilian weaves ones. Maybe you are just not looking properly.

So what you are saying in essence is that everybody that had sex for 10sec, when they were young or just attained the age of puberty have sexual dysfunction, you wrong sis!. Its definitely boils down to the level of immorality in our society, a lady that cant do without having sex once or twice in a week cant be satisfied for 10sec not even 10mins. Or else you want to tell us you didn't get satisfied for 10mins the first time you had an sexu.al encounter?

drauj: It's easier to impeach Jonathan than to impeach Wamakko my dear PDP e-hawk.

Thank you my brother...anybody that have lived in Sokoto before will surely believe what you just said....it's easier to impeach Jonathan than to impeach Magatakada Wamakko, let Jonathan tries it...and get his fingers burnt.

@Op, how is IG Wala equals to APC, Jonathains use you brain.

@Samtol4, please what did you meant by embassies in Lagos and Abuja are not collecting study permit application again?....Please kindly explain further when does that starts, because am going to Abuja on Thursday to submit my study permit application for my PhD programme. Thanks

All what I read here, are just usual rants by Omi-killer, he said he had 8 cardinal programmes for Osun State...

Mr. Omisore said that his eight-cardinal programmes, if elected the governor of the state, would include the disbanding of the merger of schools by the current government, developing of human capital, and promoting regional and national integration.

But I can only count 3 or 4 so called cardinal programmes here. If disbanding of School merger is a cardinal programme by the so called PhD holder, its better I cast my vote for a known thug Aregberascal, thats is constructing massive roads, schools etc

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) yesterday flayed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for deeming it fit to hold its rally at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota, one of the greening
initiatives of the state government which they had continuously described as “cosmetic and elitist”. The PDP had last week Friday staged a rally at the Park as part of Governor-elect of Ekiti State, Ayo
Fayose’s “Thank You” tour of Southwest states. Fashola, however, at the 2014 Tree Planting Campaign, held in Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area (LDCA), said the PDP, by their act, did not only vindicate his government’s greening policy, but have
also displayed their inconsistency. The governor, while expressing satisfaction at the success story of the greening initiative and tree planting exercise, which has provided job opportunities for thousands of youth, recalled that at inception, the PDP criticized the programme and labeled it a waste of tax payers’ money.

He said the tree planting exercise and greening programme since inception in 2008, has generated over 75,168 employment opportunities for horticulturists, pruners, gardeners, welders, tanker drivers, security personnel and other artisans. “But our uninformed and unable, and I say so emphatically, our unable opponents they criticised this initiative, they called it cosmetic, they called it elitist. They clearly demonstrated their ignorance because the environment is also the new economy, they are ignorant people, what they call cosmetic and elitist, has developed our economy, it has created jobs and it has put food on the tables of many people who would otherwise be unemployed”, Fashola added. He also recalled that the PDP-led Federal Government had attempted to stop the fuel subsidy removal
protest by Nigerians in 2012 at the Park with fully armed soldiers. “Our opponents have no shame. In their unthinking inconsistency, it was at the same Ojota Park, the same Fawehinmi Park that they now chose to hold their Party Rally last week. They lie, they forget what
they say, what they complain about, don’t believe them, have they forgotten that the Park was cosmetic, have they now forgotten that the Park is elitist, or indeed are they the true elites? “For me, they have shown themselves up for who they are, a party that is unworthy of trust and lacking in consistency. “I feel vindicated because this initiative is consistent with Goal number 7 of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and our party’s commitment to sustainable environmental development. I feel vindicated
because we have turned environmental challenge into massive economic opportunity, I feel vindicated because our opponents in their flip flop and in their lies and in their shameful inconsistency have also
vindicated me”, Fashola stressed.

Reminding residents that it was his last tree planting exercise as Governor of the state, Fashola said the exercise has been institutionalized with the setting up of the Lagos State Parks and gardens Agency (LASPARK) to maintain and sustain the parks, gardens and trees. “Our government and our party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), remains committed to continuing this
initiative, but you know now what our opponents think about this programme, they have told you, so if you value this job, if you value the economic benefit, you must vote to keep this programme going, you must defend your livelihood and your jobs with your votes, may God help you all as you do so when the time is
right”. Earlier, Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello said over five million three hundred and thirteen trees have been planted while over 297 sites have been landscaped. He called on residents to recognise the need to conquer environmental challenges by planting trees, reminding that it is also an offence to fell tree in the state without the permission of LASPARK

Dear House, I recently got admitted for my PhD studies at CUT, please what are the necessary requirements for the application of study permit, and also which one is more suitable their Lagos office or Abuja office, and the likely day of the week they normally attend to first time applicant. Thanks.
