osifred: I am indifferent as regards this strike.
If the strike will yield atleast 70percent of the agreement in term of implicationan then it is an unfortunate pain we should bear.

I want a situation where I can undertake my Msc in a Nigerian institution and feel at home with quality education instead of taking close to 5 million abroad to learn under hostile environment. Money I would have used to invest and help sustain the economy.

I want a situation where my sibling can consider schooling in Nigeria at a first choice

A situation where 4yrs is 4yrs for BSc and 2yrs is 2yrs for Msc

If this is the pain we must go through to enjoy the above then I am willing to suffer it now and enjoy later.

nickxtra: Reports reaching us have it that NANS shuts down Niger Bridge Asaba over the lingering ASUU strike.
No vehicular movement for the past 3 hrs. Is this how far NANS could have gone, considering the fact that its politicized leaders/executive have been speaking from both sides of their mouth?
The students appealed to the lecturers to call off the strike.
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on Friday barricaded the Asaba axis of the Niger Bridge for more than two hours.
The action, which was jointly carried out by some university students and their polytechnic counterparts, was in protest against the protracted strike by ASUU.
The aggrieved students blocked the bridge at about 1 p.m., which resulted to a traffic gridlock that stretched from the bridge to Okwe junction about five kilometres to Asaba Town.
They also lamented the recent decisions of polytechnic lecturers under the auspices of ASUP to also embark on a similar strike, saying it would further cripple the education sector and send a wrong signal to the international community.
NANS National Public Relations Officer, Victor Ola-Ogun, said that the students were tired of the strike and appealed to ASUU to call it off.
He said that the students had embarked on the peaceful protest and taken it to Kano and “now they are in Zone B, that is Delta and the Anambra area of the country.’’
He said that if the lecturers refuse to call off the strike, the association would further move the protest to Zone C and D, comprising the middle Belt areas and South West of the country.
“We do not want a situation where our ladies will become prostitutes and the men armed robbers.
“We are always there to fight for the lecturers’ welfare and now that the Federal Government has decided to meet some of their demands, they should consider for our sake and go back to work,’’ Mr. Ola-Ogun said.
The students, many of whom were drawn from different parts of the country are expected to leave Delta to their various destinations on Saturday.
The ASUU strike has been on since July 1.

babarazy: I just comment to add to my posts.

Ptimes: The Joint Task Force, JTF, Operation Restore Order, in Borno State said it has bombed training camps allegedly used by members of the Boko Haram sect in the state.

A statement by Sagir Musa, spokesperson of the JTF, on Friday, said the agency used a Nigerian Airforce Helicopter Gunship to dislodge what it called ” Boko Haram Terrorists’ Camps located in Sambisa Game Reserve in Bama Local Government and Farin – Ruwa Forest South West / East of Demboa Local Government Area of Borno State on Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 January, 2013.”

Mr. Musa said “the camp was properly sighted and fortified and had training facilities; armoury, accommodation, drugs store/medical, kitchen, vehicle holding area, latrine and water points (River)”.

He said the camp was used to conduct training for members and to carry out recent attacks, killings and bombings in “Maiduguri, Musari, Konduga, Biu, Bama, and Demboa communities”.

Gun battle and casualties

The statement also said efforts by JTF troops to destroy the camps led to fierce exchange of fire that resulted in the death of 17 Boko Haram members and one JTF official.

Mr. Musa said the camps were destroyed and are being monitored.

He listed some of the items recovered from the camp as six AK 47 rifles, two G3 rifles, three pistols, one Rocket Propelled Grenade Bomb (RPG), one RPG Tube, twenty RPG Chargers, two double barrel rifles, and 2, 543 assorted ammunition.

The statement also called on local communities to give credible and timely information to the Task Force and other security agencies.

trendystuf: Is Nigerian Comedian, Okey Bakassi Now A Pastor?

We know Nollywood comedian Okey Bakassi is a funny man, but this time around, he's gone religious!!!
Read his letter to God and let's have your take:

Dear Almighty Sir,
I don’t know what time it is in your area so I’ll simply say good day Sir. I’m very grateful for making me experience 2013 and I’m sorry for all my sins in 2012.
I would have promised not to sin in 2013 but I don’t want to lie because you already know my future.
Please help me be a better and more successful person this year. Also protect and bless my family, friends and fans.


I hereby present some personal issues before you:
1. Will Nigeria be better this year or ever? If no I seek your approval to go and take up citizenship somewhere else but if yes be fast before they empty our treasury and our oil wells run dry.
2. Please help us with the exchange rate. Help de Naira catch up with the dollar.

3. Have you relocated Hell to Nigeria? If no, what are Boko Haram and Kidnappers doing here?
4. Do we allow GEJ do another term? If no please do something before we ‘Occupy Everywhere’.
5. Adjust the brain of our youths so that their savings will end up in bank accounts not boutiques and night clubs.

6. There are more diseases now than brands of condom available. What do we do? Urgent answer required.
7. Please is your son coming soon? We have forgotten the meaning of true love since the last time he came.
8. Please I need your BB pin if possible, I want to send you pictures and links of what pastors and government officials are doing with our money. I guess you already know.
On behalf of my wife and children I say thank you.
Yours Faithfully
Okey ‘Bakassi’ Onyegbule

These are some of the predictions of Prophet Marcus Tibetan, the Parish Head of Celestial Church of Christ, Elisha Parish, for the year 2013. Respected for the accuracy of his predictions, Prophet Marcus Tibetan who is widely referred to as the Nostradamus of our time predicts that ten Ministers in the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan would be dropped this year for being ineffective and incompetent. President Goodluck Jonathan, says the prophet, should pray against losing loved ones in this year 2013.

The President should pray very hard against a situation that would arise and make him spend at least seven years in jail after his tenure as President of Nigeria.

He further predicts that the Senate President, David Mark, should begin to wind up and prepare for his exit from politics as disgrace is imminent.

The Vice President, Namadi Sambo, should forget any ambition of being the Vice President of Nigeria again after this first term. Bamanga Tukur may be the last PDP Chairman as the party would suffer a lot of crises and setbacks in 2013.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo needs to do more for the Yoruba race in particular and Nigeria in general. He should perform the assignment of putting the Yoruba race in the forefront with zeal as this could be his last assignment.

Prophet Marcus Tibetan’s earth shaking predictions for the year 2013 are presently being compiled into a book which will be in circulation within the first quarter of the year. The Prophet who is loved and respected in his native town of Ode-Aye has visited more than eighty countries.

His mastery of the Bible can be seen in his in exhaustive quotations from the Holy book.

The man of God is able to cure chronic diseases and ailments such as sickle cell anaemia and diabetes, amongst others.

The year never end now.

You know how many crash wey go still happen?

ijele: add your UTME score and post-UTME score then divide by 2,if de average Ȋ̝̊̅§ from 180 then U̶̲̥̅̊ stand a chance of getting admission, however ANSU place de highest scored averages on merit list. Which means one can get an average of 180 or slightly above and may still not get admission,cos depending on school facility according †☺ NUT approval, JAMB will allow limited no of students in a particular dept(eg, Mech.Engineering maximum allowed by NUT Ȋ̝̊̅§ 120 students) then de school considers 40% of approved 120 students for 1st choice,30% for 2nd choice,20% for pre-science/degree students 10% for candidates that did not put ANSU as any choice. The latter are allowed to write post-UME with 2nd Choice candidates. Hope this helps! Best of luck
