Immediately I read the post, I don't need any body to tell me it's fatal lie.

The OP is seeking attention.

If you check wella she is single.


Although a lot of people do mess up more especially this guys that play Radio inside sure-p in the morning and all sorts of shit from people's mouth.

It's fun entering Sure-p because you will see different characters.

BigBen10: na sure-p buses abeg nt BRT

Tell them.

It is written inside Sure-p no preaching and smoking how come the op mentioned preaching.

@OP if you can't tolerate the bullshit get a cab or buy a car.

Do you think what you wrote will make any difference

After wearing all this una mini skirt and this breast showcase una dey do for men. What do you think the opposite sex will do

Stop dressing like idiots and the rate of all this will reduce.

Soon una go naked completely.

The other day I was going to Wuse from Garki Area 1 by Taxi. One lady like that brought out her bag and started rubbing her face + her mini skirt and I was beside her. If say I no be Rev Father (lol) I would have done that the OP claimed.
I nearly insult her but, I didn't.
I have no option than to open my phone to read news.

Why do you girls always like spotting out boys faults rather than solving yours.

For your mind, you're now BIG SHOW for slapping the guy.
You're lucky it wasn't a Warri boy, you would have known the difference.

I disagree with this.

If you wan tap current go and marry. If you no get money to marry, cut off that thing.

eguity&justice:
so ASUU want to channel 50% of budget for education to universities. Then the remaining should be shared b/w polytechnic, collage of edu, secondry and primary. How fair is this?

I tire for them.

On the first day of July this year, the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, began an indefinite strike that has lasted till date and may run deep into the future.
According to the union, the strike followed government’s inability to keep to an October 2009 agreement reached by both parties.
The agreement was reached after two years of negotiation between the lecturers and a government team appointed by the then Education Minister, Obiageli Ezekwesili.
The Government team was led by the then Pro-chancellor, University of Ibadan, Gamaliel Onosode while ASUU’s team was led by its then president, Abdullahi Sule-Kano.
The agreement reached at the negotiations included conditions of service for university lecturers, funding of universities, university autonomy and academic freedom, and issues that required legislation to implement.

Details of that agreement were held as confidential by both ASUU and the government, leaving the public to feed on crumbs of information thrown out at negotiation meetings between the two parties.
PREMIUM TIMES has now obtained a copy of the agreement and is now making it available for public viewing.

The agreement
The agreement included details such as the breakdown of lecturers’ salary structure, staff loans, pension, overtime, and moderation of examinations.
Part of the agreement dwelt on funding of universities where both parties agreed that each federal university should get at least N1.5 trillion between 2009 and 2011 while state universities, within the same period, should receive N3.6 million per student.
The agreement also had parts that asked the re-negotiation committee to ensure that at least 26 percent of Nigeria’s annual budget was allocated to education, and half of that allocation to universities.
The agreement also asked that the 2004 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Act, and the National University Commission Act 2004, be amended.

Text of the suggested amendment bills – including suggestion for amendment of the Education (National Minimum Standards and Establishment of Institutions) Act 2004 – were provided in the agreements.
The agreement was signed by Bolanle Babalakin, the then chairman of Committee of Pro-Chancellors of Federal Universities; Gamaliel Onosode, chairman of the re-negotiation committee; and Ukachukwu Awuzei, the then president of ASUU.
The agreement demanded a heavy financial commitment from the government and was an adaptation of an earlier agreement reached in 2001.

It is unclear how much of the agreement have been implemented by the government. However, the secretary to the federation, Pius Anyim, after one of the recent failed negotiations, said that most of the issues contained in the 2009 agreement, had been fully met except for the earned allowances estimated at N92 billion.
“Some of the issues which bothered on amendment of pensionable retirement age of academics in the professorial cadre, consolidated peculiar allowances (CONPUAA)- exclusively for university teaching staff, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), setting up of budget monitoring committee in all public universities have been fully implemented,” he disclosed.
ASUU Chairman, Nasir Fagge, could not be reached to confirm how much of the agreement have been implemented.

Aaaaaah.

This thread don show Front Page before naaa.

Mod kwenu!

Chrisvicmall: If there is a decrease in traffic, it should be advertiser's loss. It is the same in every business. For example, a company will give you the price of an item base on the current dollar exchange rate(market value). If the buyer pays some percentage before the production starts and along the line the dollar fails(market value changes) , it is the company's loss, if dollar increases, it is the buyer's loss. The company cannot tell the buyer to add extra payment because of the change in exchange rate neither will the buyer ask the supplier to reduce the price because of the current exchange rate.

Just like the manufacturer and the consumer, there is no past and there is no future in business. Everyone believes/lives in NOW i.e the current market value.

Use the current traffic value of each of the section for the price quotation. If tomorrow you become the next facebook, then use the then traffic to give quotation.
If you decide to update, you can update the price monthly but if you must update daily or hourly, please send email and messages to people advertising at least 3hours before you update so that they can know whether to pull down the add and wait until your price go back to what they want. It is really complicated

Seconded.


Seun should know that this is not what one can come up and fix. It requires others suggestion more especially from advertisers.

Seun: And what if there is a drop in traffic? should it also be the advertiser's loss? Is that fair to the advertiser?

Yeah, it should all be advertisers gain and loss.

@Seun

This your method doesn't make sense.
How can one load 5k to advertise for a day and half, but on the process there is increase in traffic (Just as you did today) and you increase the price. That means that the advertiser's budget will collapse because the amount budgeted for a day will not be enough not to talk of the next day.

The price should be fixed!

A lot of work need to be done.

Infant the old method is better.

planetuzor: Seun my ad has been approved but the price for politics section have changed from what I saw it as yesteday on the list of price list which was 26k to 38k this morning..?

Too bad of you.

Easy bro. This life na gewe gewe.

BigBen10: To all you half-wits attributing this achievement to GEJ. This is the work of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi(CBN governor) working in conjunction with Ngozi-Iweala (finance minister). Dont you go about praising GEJ as if he has the intellectual capacity to achieve this.

Odikwa egwu.
Onye Nke kwa osi gini

Can this be true

dridowu: APGA are confused transferring from lagos to anambra, dat show dat obianno is not interested in anambra politics cos if he was interested he would have registered in d state from day 1 , dy are just forcing d man into politics.

Absolutely.

@Seun

Come out here and answer the above questions sharperly sharperly.

This is an improvement.

ASUU better collect this money now as e dey hot.

They should remember "No work, No pay"

Oga GEJ I dey hail Oooo.

Amnesty International has called for investigation
About 1000 suspected Boko Haram militants died in detention in the first half of 2013 alone, London-based rights organization, Amnesty International, said Tuesday.
Some of the dead were beaten and shot without getting medical attention while others die due to harsh detention conditions such as over-crowded jails and starvation.

“The evidence we’ve gathered suggests that hundreds of people died in military custody in 2013 alone. This is a staggeringly high figure that requires urgent action by the Nigerian government,” Lucy Freeman, Amnesty International’s deputy Africa director, said in a statement.

“The details of what happens behind locked doors in these shadowy detention facilities must be exposed, and those responsible for any human rights violations brought to book.”
The Nigerian army said it has not seen the report and will respond when it is made available to them.

A large proportion of these deaths are reported to have happened in Giwa military barracks, Maiduguri in Borno State, and Sector Alpha, commonly referred to as ‘Guantanamo’ and Presidential Lodge (known as ‘Guardroom’) in Damaturu, Yobe State.”

Detainees in these detention centres told Amnesty International that people die daily in “both Giwa and Sector Alpha from suffocation or other injuries due to overcrowding, and starvation. Some suffered serious injuries due to severe beating and eventually died in detention due to lack of medical attention and treatment.”

Some of the atrocities perpetuated in these camps are summary execution and detainees being shot in the legs during interrogations.
“Hundreds have been killed in detention either by shooting them or by suffocation…There are times when people are brought out on a daily basis and killed. About five people, on average, are killed nearly on a daily basis,” a senior army officer told h asked not to be named told Amnesty International.
“International standards, as well as Nigerian laws, require that deaths in custody must be investigated thoroughly and impartially,” said Ms Freeman. “Detainees have human rights and these must be respected in all instances.”
Hundreds of suspected Boko Haram militants are held in mostly secret detention centres across the country without charge and no access to lawyers and family members.

Prof Rufai says it is now unfair to ask her to speak on the strike.

The immediate past Minister of Education, Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufai, who was sacked from the federal cabinet last month, has joined the ongoing strike by Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, which she desperately tried to break while in office.
PREMIUM TIMES enquries at Bayero Universities, Kano, BUK where Mrs Rufai was teaching Education Curriculum before joining the Jigawa State cabinet in 2007 and later the federal cabinet in 2011, revealed that although the former minister had returned to the institution, she was yet to commence work as a result of the ongoing industrial action.

Public Relations Officer of BUK, Mustapha Zaharaddeen, told this newspaper in a telephone interview on Wednesday that the former minister had joined her colleagues in the strike.
“How can she teach? She has joined the strike,” Mr. Zaharaddeen said. “She has no choice. How can anybody teach? Don’t forget, ASUU National President is from BUK.”

When PREMIUM TIMES asked Mrs Rufai on Wednesday if she had joined the ASUU strike, she merely retorted, “It is an unfair question. Ask my university.”
Efforts to reach the ASUU President, Mr. Fagge, was unsuccessful, as his mobile telephone number repeatedly indicated it had been switched off.

Mrs Rufai, the first female education minister from the northern part of Nigeria, was sacked from the federal cabinet alongside eight other ministers last September 11.
The other sacked ministers were Olugbenga Ashiru (Foreign Affairs), Hadiza Mailaifa (Environment), Shamsudeen Usman (National Planning), Ama Pepple (Land, Housing and Urban Development), Ita Ewa (Science and Technology).
Ministers of State for Defence, Power and Agriculture, Olusola Obada, Zainab Kuchi and Bukar Tijani, respectively were also relieved of their positions.
Mr. Jonathan is yet to appoint their replacements.
Before she was fired, Mrs Rufai, who became Education minister in 2011, was a member of the Governor Gabriel Suswam-led Federal Government negotiation team, which held discussions with ASUU officials led by the Union’s President, Nasiru Fagge, who incidentally teaches at BUK.
However, the government team could not make any head way in resolving the issues that led to the strike which is now entering its third month, until Mrs Rufai left government, unceremoniously.


From Left: Former Minister Of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i; Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (Nuc), Prof. Julius Okojie; Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim and Minister of Labour, Chukwuemeka Nwogu, at an ASUU negotiation meeting in Abuja
Mr. Rufai repeatedly blamed her colleagues for failing to call off the strike despite the concessions made by government.
The former minister returned to her home state, Jigawa, two days after her sack and was welcomed by a large crowd which had gathered in Aminu Kano Triangle, Dutse, the state capital.
The crowd repeatedly shouted her name in excitement when she arrived at the venue, accompanied by her husband, Ahmed Rufai.

Responding to questions from journalists during the reception, the former minister, a professor of curriculum studies, promised that she would return to the classroom the following Monday.
“I plan to go back to my university, I am a professor in education in curriculum studies and I will report on Monday and then take a brief leave to have a kind of rest, but I am going back to the university,” she said.

On whether she would join the ASUU strike, which she was negotiating away while in government, Mr Rufai, said “Don’t make me controversial, don’t make me controversial.”
She said she had no regrets that she was relieved of her appointment, saying “This is the fourth time that I am handing over in my life. I have been a commissioner twice and I have been a minister twice and it is really not a surprise and depending on what the circumstances may be.”
Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, under whom she served as commissioner and who nominated her as minister, revealed that a few weeks before her sack, Mr Jonathan told him she (Rufai) “was doing a good job.”

Mr. Lamido, was, however, silent on whether she was fired because he (Lamido) joined six other governors to float the New PDP led by Kawu Baraje. The group is opposed to Mr Jonathan’s bid to contest the 2015 presidential election.
“Ruqayyatu has discharged her responsibilities as minister responsibly and I repeat there is no anger or ill feeling because what the president did is within his constitutional powers. We have no pain, no ill feeling,” the governor said.
“There is need for people to know why we are gathered here. Anything that has a beginning has an end,” the governor said.

“We have no grudge against her removal. We love anybody that loves us. It was the president’s wisdom to appoint her.
“Let me remind us that as Muslims we were very happy when our sister, daughter, mother and grandmother, was picked by our brother President Jonathan.
“Jigawa State is the only state in the North that has two ministers and this is because of the attachment the president has for Jigawa.
“This is not the time for politics, the time will come, the purpose here is to honour our daughter. That time will come.”

Speculation about the alleged double voter registration by the APGA candidate, Willie Obiano is increasingly becoming an issue.
While APGA state chairman Chief Mike Kwentoh has dismissed the insinuation, it has become a major campaign issue for the Ifeanyi Ubah campaign which has raised assertions of impropriety against Obiano saying the APGA candidate is unfit to rule the state.

Kwentoh in dismissing the assertion that has been on cyberspace since last weekend said that what Obiano did was to transfer his registration from Lagos to Anambra
”The allegation of double registration is not true. Obiano only transferred his registration from Lagos to Anambra state. People should disregard such stories,” he said.
Reacting to the development, Prince Chukwuemeka, head of the Ifeanyi Ubah Media team said the issue went a long way to show why Obiano should not be governor.

“For him to have registered in Lagos shows that he does not come home to see his people in Anambra.
It means that he does not attend town union, kindred and family meetings. Now that he has been made candidate he chose to come home and register. Anambra people should be wise,” he said.

Reacting to the issue of double registration, the state Resident Electoral Commission (REC) Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu warned that such action would attract severe sanction as provided in the constitution. He explained that in event of a voter that has relocated to another town, he or she can only apply for transfer of registration at his new location and that if it is discovered the law will take its course. Now, the ball is in Obiano’s court.

Anambra North threatens to sanction Ngige’s running mate
Some groups within Anambra North are threatening sanctions against Chief Ralph Okeke, running mate to the APC candidate Senator Chris Ngige for allegedly betraying the collective drive of the people of the area to produce the next governor of the state.

The threat is coming from the Omabala Solidarity Union which comprises four council areas of Anambra North zone and Awka North council area. The group has one of its leaders, APGA national leader and former Minister of Health, Dr. Tim Minekaya.
Okeke is not an inconsequential political factor in the area having been a former local government chairman of Anambra West council Area and two term member of the House of Representatives for Anambra East and Anambra West Federal Constituency. Speaking at the end of a meeting weekend, Sen Emma Anosike said the people were yet to endorse any of the four candidates from Anambra North vying for the governorship.

dwizy: I doubt if you will have to wait. No ads will have a particular space. If they re more than 6, then they will automatically rotate.

Abi Seun. Am I right?

This will be concern bullsh1t and waste of resources for advertisers.

Abu Mikey:

You would have to wait,till there's a free slot

I will like to hear from Seun directly.

Seun: Yes, and you can even target the Islam for Muslims board if your ad is Sallah-themed! That costs about ₦5,196.53 per week (₦742.36 per day)


We did conducted a free alpha test. Based on the results of that test, and subsequent improvements, we believe that this is worth every naira.


Absolutely. You can place and remove your ads from any section of Nairaland at any time


There are 6 ad slots in every section. If you place your ads on any section, your ads will share one of those 6 slots. And they will stay there until you remove them or until your credits get exhausted. On mobile phones, we only display 2 ads per page, so your ads will show up in one out of 3 pageviews. If you place many ads on a section, your ads will share the same slot and the cost. Our system is carefully & fairly designed.

What if there are more than 6 advertisers on a particular section, how then will the ad be displayed?

Page 1 updated.

FOLYKAZE: good remixing.

Lets take it light this....

God of the bible created human as robots.

The tree of good and evil is self-awareness imprint which satan made us eat.

The tree of life is wisdom/intelligence. We got it back ourselves.

God said he will never change. Since he changed then he dont deserve to be call God

Am out of here to avoid the unknown.

This is wickedness.

okeyxyz:
No.1, that is not a christian doctrine. It is the Law of Moses.

No.2, Who are you to judge the moralities of many thousand years ago? What do you know about this societies you assume to judge over? What do you know about the biological, mental and social awareness and readiness of 10 year olds back then as compared to 10 year olds of today? Your positions on this matter are totally out of context in all ramifications of context. You seem not to understand why women marry later in life today because you equate the societies of today to that of thousands of years ago. You think it's all about age rather than social-economic preparedness and requirements. Bros, do some proper critique, then perhaps we can engage.

May I remind you that Moses has no law. Moses follows the instruction given to him

Chrisvicmall: From your explanation, I believe that this system is a rotational ads system. My questions are
1.) Let's assume that in a section there are more than 20 advertisers in that section, what is the probability that my ad will appear in a day?
2.) Is it possible for me to know how many times my ads appear in a day.
3.) Is it possible to know the number of clicks my ad receives since the most important thing is not the impression/appearance but the clicks it gets. I want to know how many clicks it receive so that we can be able to make good use of our money and know which section offers the best value.
4.) Can I pause my ads because I see no reason it should be running between 10:00p.m to 6:00a.m Nigeria time especially when you are targeting Nigeria customers. Leaving the ads to running during that period is waste of money and credit

We will appreciate if you can answer this question so that we can check our stand

Seconded.

The price is high..........................

Adjust the price list @Oga Seun

Seun: Your ads stay on any board where you place them until you run out of credits


It's not PPC. We use a really cool fair pricing algorithm. It calculates the weekly price that each section of the forum is worth during the time period that you're using it and it charges you every few minutes based on that price. It charges you more when there's more traffic and less when there's less traffic.

You can check the weekly price for every board on this page: Price List.

The highlighted keep me wondering about this system.

Another question.....


1) Can the advertiser pause the ad at any given time?

2) Will the ad banner be rotating or just steady till advertisers credit get exhausted?
