tizzdi:
this is actually my undergraduate thesis...did something similar predicting students academic performance based on socioeconomic and demographic and environmental factors

Would you mind sharing your findings with the public? I'm particularly interested in knowing what you discovered...as whilst there is a long held belief that these factors play a role, no one to be the best of my knowledge has been able to quantify the extent to which they play a role.

Politics / Re: $9b Judgment: P&ID Chief Names Yar’adua, Lukman, NNPC GMD, 15 Others Behind Cont by Iolo(m): 7:58pm On Sep 01, 2019
Iamgrey5:
This letter by the owner Of the company doesn't clear Yaradua, Madueke or Jonathan.

According to him or her, they signed an agreement to supply him or her Wet gas at no cost in 2009 while he will sell byproducts and Nigeria's supply power stations at no cost

Nonetheless, they broke the agreement in 2010 under Jonathan when they bypassed him and gave the right to one of initial parties involved in the deal.

It shows that the country is in a terrible mess!

In the write up, the company never really mention any physical investment it made that might warrant losses. It only stated that it already got land from Cross Rivers state for development.


You hit the nail in the right direction. My thoughts have been on the fact that it’s never been stated that P&ID made significant losses from investments made. As far as it’s been stated there has never been significant physical investment in their part. How do you see compensation on the basis of future profits when you’ve made no losses / costs to accrued said profits.

I suspect this is one of the judgement debt scams NOI mentioned in her book. Only issue is that a UK court awarded the debt.

NYSC / Re: My NYSC Experience In Jigawa State. by Iolo(m): 11:43pm On Jun 13, 2019
shugaboo:
One of the reason why I'm reluctant to leave Jigawa state. Criminal activities is at the minimum, I can walk around 12 midnight without boys attacking me. I served in Dutse, I love Birini kudu tho it's more lively than Dutse.

Back when I served the state government was luring corpers to stay behind to teach in their schools. Pay was about 65k or 85k...don’t remember exactly now... and there was free accommodation. I know a number of ppl who decided to stayed back for a few years while some are still there with their families now.

Is that programme still on?

I camped in Gumel, that was in 2016 Nov. They said the population of that set was much, so they had two camps for that set. Jigawa is such a nice place. Though I didn't like the weather. I enjoyed my service year

You’re right about the weather. It’s two extremes at certain times of the year. Winter jackets, head warmers and gloves in the mornings and nights and then it gets really hot during the day. And then other parts of the year you have to deal with sandstorms.

One thing that always struck me was the good roads. Even with the landmass of the state, You could drive for two hours from one town to another without seeing pot holes and yet most people there didn’t own cars so the roads were largely empty but for taxis and buses with passengers.

You are right. The camp is in Dutse just opposite the barrack. However, the area is called Fanisau. Its one of the best Orientation Camp we have in the country.

Interesting. They must have relocated that camp from Gumel. I served in Hadejia, Jigawa about a decade ago. Splendid place I must say.

Travel / Re: Nigerian Railway Corporation Allegedly Hired 3 NAF Helicopters To Guard Train by Iolo(m): 11:12pm On May 04, 2019
This story doesn’t add up.

An helicopter flies way faster and is potentially safer than the train (in terms of being off the ground from kidnappers).

The NRC has absolutely no responsibility to incur such costs for a senator. Who will fund it?
Business / Re: Installation Of World Heaviest Regenerator, RFCC Unit At The Dangote Refinery. by Iolo(m): 8:25am On May 03, 2019
I see most people saying “Generator”. This isn’t a generator but a regenerator. Two different things.

The regenerator helps to cool hot crude during the refining process. Link below if you want to know more:

My passport expires end of December 2019. I intend to apply for a visa sometime in May for a conference that holds in October.
Do I need to have at least 6 months validity on my passport to apply for a UK visa? When does this start to count - from the month I apply or my intended arrival date? Can someone explain how this works pls?

Over inflation is the most likely cause. I had similar experience as well. Always tell the vulnizers to not exceed 35psi and If possible get your own gauge.

The other way round, the students don't suppose to pay for their lodging, flight and the rest...in a sane country.


Your truth about buhari is a lie.

Why shouldn’t they pay for their lodging and flight? They requested for an audience with the President and this was granted. This Father Christmas mentality is the reason why corruption continues to thrive, in a country where citizens feel entitled to free money for once they step into ASO rock.

Kindly educate me with the names of the sane countries that maintain this practice?

Also, are you aware that guests at the White House are given a bill for any food or meals they consume? Any invited guests stay at the presidential lodge and even the president himself pays for his meals.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIAN STUDENTS ZONE B...
PRESS RELEASE OF NANS ZONE B LEADERSHIP LED BY COMR. OKEREKE GODSON C BISHOP ON NANS VISIT TO ASO-VILLA...
"MY JOURNEY TO ASO-ROCK WAS NOT FRUITFUL!!"



I commend, Comr. Danielson Bamidele Akpan, NANS President for attracting this visit, but regrets absolutely the outcome with fundamental Aluta higihagaaaa.
During the visit of NANS to the former Nigerian Presidents, almost all the Zonal Coordinators bought a new car after the visit as evidence that the met Mr President! outside the struggle, but I announce regrettably that I didn't see the least fifty thousand Naira (#50,000) as a Zonal Coordinator of the largest ZONE in NANS. I fed myself, paid my hotel bills , paid my flight bills of such you now know that there's no resources from the Rock at the VILLA.


This is necessary to note, hence debunk the news of being empowered by the presidency. I know by now, no one will henceforth call me for any share of ASO ROCK struggle.
Therefore, I appeal to ASUU passionately to understand that this is Political era by this strike, over 20.1million votes will be void that means this number of people have been disenfranchised of their right to vote indirectly because many of them registered close to their campuses. As a matter of conscience, negotiate with FG and resolve fast, he who fights and run will live to fight again.
GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
Yours in Struggle...

It’s hidden knowledge to the public but the plain truth. A lot of erstwhile politicians do not like Buhari because he doesn’t drop.

Even the Oshodi express way is bad. They repaired a road at town planning by coker road in less than 3 weeks the road has that hole again. Is it that the people fixing these roads are using substandard materials? Or our vehicles are too heavy

In some cases, people go out at night and dig the roads. Robbers who want cars to slow down at that point, mechanics/vulcanizers who want the car tires to get bad.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus with 16GB storage. Scratches on the back due to type of phone case used.

Full Disclosure: Screen works but goes off intermittently. It should be changed to enjoy the phone which is why I’m discounting by 20k to sell at 50k rather than 70k.

Car Talk / Re: For Drivers Only: Who's At Fault Here? Pictures by Iolo(m): 12:06am On Jul 20, 2018
I’ll go with B.

Facts:

1. There are two lanes in this picture. The green car appearing in one and the silver SUV firmly on the next lane.
2. The red VW Jetta is attempting to change lanes from lane 2 to lane 1.

Obersavations
1. Red VW Jetta rightly turned on his pointer informing intent to switch lanes.
2. Silver SUV either did not see this early enough or he did and chose to ignore or react by speeding up.

Conclusion

VW Jetta is the wrong party here because he did not ensure appropriate clearance on lane 1 before attempting the switch. Turning on ones indicator must be closely followed by maintaining safe distances before changing lanes of at least a cars length.
