NCC starts registration of SIM Cards Compulsory registration of sim cards is not enforced on pay-as-you -go sims in the UK. Instead some mobile service providers reward customers with a few pounds credit that will be sent to their address if they register their sim online. NCC just wants to waste resources on this sim registration. |

Quote from: ~Sauron~ on Yesterday at 05:58:02 PM Quote from: asha 80 on Yesterday at 06:04:18 PM Asha, you are 100% correct. The streets are a bit clean because it is London but most of the shared flats there are worse than Ojuelegba. I visited someone in Abbey wood. I could not believe my eyes. He shares an apartment with 4 other nigerians and the apartment is worse than Ajegule. They share a kitchen but he keeps his fridge, foodstuffs, plates, pots infact all kitchen utensils including microwave in his room. The apartemnt is unkept. And this is someone that will arrive Nigeria and be doing big boy. |

most companies are slave camp and this has really affected the employee in all area of their life, financially materially and socially, imagine a young man with 40-50 naira salary, how will he cope and forge ahead with life in Lagos, accommodation na wahala, transportation has increased geometrically of recent, feeding and clothing is there how will he think of marriage or raising children, sometimes life is mysterious. Companies that pay 40-50k try. Graduate employee that work under states earn far less than that. prior to the increase in salaries last year, fresh graduate that work in ministries earned 34k while those in parastatals earned 48k. |

Take regular baths or showers, at least once a day. After puberty, using an antiperspirant can help to reduce sweating, and some also inhibit bacterial growth. This is rarely needed with younger children. Fresh clothes should be worn every day, and clothing should be washed at as high a temperature as possible, then dried as quickly as possible. Bacteria can survive in damp clothing and produce a characteristic smell. Feet should be washed regularly, dried thoroughly and treated with antifungal powder if necessary. Avoid closed, sweaty shoes such as trainers, and wear fresh cotton socks or keep feet bare in open sandals as often as possible. Body odour may be influenced by diet. Certain foods, such as curry, garlic and strong spices, contain chemicals that may be excreted in the skin. Avoiding very spicy food may also help. |

The meeting, according to him, was held “to know the mind of God for Nigeria in 2009.” The cleric, however, gave a ray of hope for the righteous and faithful in giving their tithes and offering, saying they would witness abundance. I guess the recession is affecting the tithes and offering too. |

Revealed: UK Toxic Wastes Traced to Alaba Market By Akinsanmi Gboyega with agency report, 02.19.2009 http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=136110 Potentially dangerous toxic wastes from the United Kingdom (UK) have been traced to Alaba International Market and Apapa, all in Lagos state. The wastes, according to Sky News investigation, comprise abandoned TV set, computer and electrical appliances, which are ordinarily meant to be recycled The report said the wastes “are traced to Lagos port inside the container. We finally managed to track the television down to a shipping container.” At Alaba Market, the report added that youngsters aged between 15 and 20 were seen scavenging for the valuable copper contained in the appliances. It stated: “Because of the toxic nature of some of the components, the appliances should be recycled under strict conditions here in the United Kingdom.” Commenting on the development, a UK-based non-governmental organisation, Greenpeace, confirmed that the young people working on such dumps often break apart the electronic items for parts, but in doing so are exposed to poisonous chemicals like mercury, lead and cadmium. “We basically managed to track a TV going from the UK allegedly as second-hand equipment to Nigeria. When in fact we knew, because we gutted it, this TV, before it left the UK, we took all the insides out and put in a tracker device, which enabled us to track this old TV from the UK, through the recycler to Nigeria. “Tonnes of toxic waste from municipal dumps in the West are being dumped illegally in countries like Nigeria and Ghana. Hundreds of thousands of broken items like TVs and computers are being sold to dealers on the pretext of re-use. Under EU law, such household appliances must be dismantled or recycled,” the charity group stated. But Sky News reported that after being informed that e-waste collected by Hampshire County Council is being sent to West Africa, it teamed up with Greenpeace to investigate the claim. According to Sky News : “Our team found an old television, noted its barcode and product number and, with the help of a qualified engineer, removed a vital working part, rendering it useless. We then inserted a satellite tracker into the television before taking it to the council's recycling centre. “The idea was to follow every step of the TV's journey across the world via the internet before pinpointing the exact coordinates of its final destination. Filming undercover, we dropped our television off at a recycling site in Basingstoke which is managed for Hampshire County Council by a firm called Hopkins. “They in turn sell appliances to a company called BJ Electronics. BJ bought our old television. We then followed the television to the BJ Electronics warehouse in Walthamstow, where BJ claim they test every appliance before selling them on to other companies for export. “Our tracker showed our broken television was eventually loaded onto a shipping container at BJ's warehouse then taken to Tilbury where it was exported,” the report said. Greenpeace Campaigner, Mr. Erik Albertson, told Sky News Online: "What you see around us could be the remains of one of your old computers or a TV set. The problem with things like this is every now and then, a couple of times a week, they set them on fire and the contents of the chemicals will cause dioxins to escape. "Dioxins are well known as one of the toxic substances on earth. They're both carcinogenic and cause endocrine disruption." Back in the UK, we told Hampshire County Council, Hopkins and BJ Electronics of our findings. Hopkins refused to comment. BJ said they had done nothing wrong and were adamant they comply with all the necessary tests. Hampshire Council issued the following statement: "We are extremely disappointed to learn of the potential findings of the investigation. Hampshire Council issued the following statement: "We are extremely disappointed to learn of the potential findings of the investigation. "Our primary aim has always been to ensure that waste electrical items are reused wherever possible, and that only functional TVs and monitors are sent abroad. We do not condone the exportation of televisions that cannot be reused. "If, after our inquiry, it is found that our clear requirements are being compromised by inadequate controls, we will take immediate action and we will publish our findings,” the Council stated. As Hampshire County Council carries out its own inquiry, Greenpeace has called on manufacturers of electronic goods to ensure they put in place take back schemes, so that the unwanted appliances are disposed of responsibly, instead of being dumped on poorer countries. |

http://www.vanguardngr.com/content/view/27427/45/ DCO dies in female lover's bedroom E-mail Written by Vincent Ujumadu Wednesday, 28 January 2009 AWKA—THE Divisional Crime Officer (DCO) for the Ogbaru Divisional Police Station in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State (names withheld) has reportedly died in the bedroom of his female lover. The state police command has confirmed the incident, although it declined to give details surrounding the death of the senior police officer. Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Fidelis Agbo, who confirmed the death of the DCO said investigation had begun to unravel the cause of the death. He however said that he was not aware that the police officer died in the house of a woman, adding “all I know is that the officer died.” It was gathered yesterday, that a post-mortem conducted on the police officer revealed that he died of cardiac arrest, although the details were still foggy. Meanwhile, the police has said that no arrest has been made in connection with the recent killing of a lecturer of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Dr Philis Ifeoma Okoli, and her seven-year-old daughter, Jewel. The PPRO said the police has gone deep into the matter, but declined to make further statement. He appealed to members of the public to give useful information that would lead to the apprehension of the alleged perpetrators and assured that such information would be treated with utmost confidentiality. |
