All bananas look like that and we don't cook them.

I don't know how you guys came to a conclusion that they're plantains and you cook them.

How did you guys know that they're plantains and not bananas

You're judging from pictures.

Bananas and plantains have a completely different taste...if you eat a plantain without cooking, you'd know for sure you're eating something raw.

The size may not matter, many times a regular plantain is bigger than a regular banana but there are sub species where the reverse is the case.

Bananas and plantains are different.

Let me give u a vivid description of who I think prospa is :

He’s that kind of person that calls the whole world to come see how he will beat his opponent blue-black in a boxing match . When the fight starts and he discovers his opps is a pugilist in disguise who has started to reconstruct his face with heavy blows , he will decide to turn the match to traditional wrestling ( gidigbo) with the hope that he can out-muscle him and give him sand to digest.

The moment that fails , he accepts his fate but not without letting people know u used unconventional means which he himself introduced into the contest .

Lol. Did you attend a Unity School?

Una sure say Baba never run some calcu decide to sell off so e fit use the dough plus POF to japa

Been expecting to see some sort of speculations/discussions from the knowledgeable folks on this thread regarding Baba-go-fast's score card on policies such as:

- Over 40% increase in electricity tariff
- Student loan; requirements to qualify and concomitant effects on general tuition fees
- Subsidy removal; how people are trekking nowadays since they can't afford the crappy public bus
- 'Regularisation' of Naira to the FX market; resultant effect on basically everything imported

And most importantly, how all these will affect the regular man on the street earning 33k minimum wage...

From my own end, all I see is taxing on multiple fronts...owo council and owo turning on a grand national scale.

Is there a good side to expect in future?

I haven't really seen much discourse. Just pictures from oasis (still gloating from his victory), some banter, some small gender fights and a very awkward silence on the pressing issues.

I'm honestly asking so me sef can learn.

Mods una no go see this one but if it's me you'd ban me asap.



Back to you,you be weerey and I gat nothing to say to you

E say na back to me, malu

You are saying that the one we already saw evidence of its existence is nothing but media sensation but at the same time, you're telling us that the one we hardly saw evidence of it is the one we should believe. You don't know what you are saying

Evidence of existence is info from one school in the UK based on journalism from daily mail.

Evidence you hardly saw is UNILAG in your own country.

You don't know what you're typing.

clydecarson:



Oga no dey type nonsense,it happened in a school in UK,their parents were outside the school holding placards protesting and also a copy of the book was displayed


Verify properly before saying shit

You're a big FOOL.

A school in UK is now schools in UK abi.

Eat shit.

Aw, come on.

'Schools in UK' are NOT teaching kids to masturbate. This is sensational journalism.

Also, if you think that this 'perversion' is only restricted to the 'West', then you're living under a rock oh. Go to UNILAG and other higher institutions and see signs & wonders. Most peeps in Nigeria are just hiding 'in the closet' because of the societal backlash.

Lastly, the letters are currently LGBTQIA+.
Yes, it's longer now and still counting...that's what the + is for, I guess.

Yeah. But I prefer proper battles with proper battle order not melee fighting with dozens of people just fighting in a chaotic fashion. It is very unrealistic.

From ancient to medieval times battles were almost always fought in one form or the other of the Greek phalanx, whereby soldiers fought side by side with their comrades and didn’t break ranks with each other until maybe late in the battle.

Even the Roman maniple formation evolved from the Greek phalanx.

Examples of this can be seen in the The Battle of the Bastards in GOT or the battle scenes in the movie Alexander.

Battles are not just a set of 1v1 fights all over the place in chaotic fashion.

I first knew of the phalanx when I saw the movie, 300.

The Greek (Spartan) King Leonidas used it to stall the advance of the Persians with just 300 of his best warriors; really surprising his enemies.

I also love movies where battles are realistically fought in formations;

Prince tells his commander "Get them in line"
Commander bellows, "Get the men back into lines"

Info is cascaded down to the men at the forefront;
"Front line, puuush!"

It's really nice watching battle formations and strategies of old.

I saw Shaka Zulu too.
Lol, they had a traditional distance between warring factions where spears and arrows are thrown at each other. Almost like dodge ball.

I think the Shaka was famous for going against that convention with preference for close combat.

If you can recommend more movies, I'd appreciate. Prefer more of European empires to Asian dynasty movies.

GloriousGbola:


your can set your PFA to regularly send you sms or email updates. My PFA does that.

Thanks.
It wasn't really about getting alerts - was about a third party flagging double payments by two companies and alerting those companies that pension was paid into xyz account.

Heard it happened to someone who had two jobs and the person lost both. Wanted to confirm if that's possible... knowing that Naija is a funny society...but then again, anything to keep poor people poor, so won't be surprised.

Hoping 001 changes that one sha. Looks like he, at the very least, pretends to care about the Nigerian society.

BlueRayDick:


Nobody tracks anything. All the company gets is the evidence that they have remitted their employee's pension to the PFA . That is what they will use to process their own PENCOM certificate of compliance with PENCOM Act.

Oh, thanks.
That's what I wanted to confirm.

iamoyindamola:

I can help a little
Having 2 rsa pins ---this is from 2 different pension companies some companies have a uniform pension company if you are joining you can close down the one you using before and transfer your fund to the new one.
but having 2 rsa pins with the same pension company is not possible, it's like having 2 matric numbers in the same school
If you were owed a pension and the company wants to pay it back--if you are nice to the company they can pay you what they owe but if you want to push harder you are entitled to collect interest or take the company to court and they are to pay the lump sum

Yes you receive notification like bank alert to track your pension fund, like the one I use crusader they also send montly statement

Thanks

BlueRayDick:


If it is legal to work for two different companies at a time, then I see no reason why one can't receive pension from two different companies in one RSA. Provided none of the two employers have issues with u working for the other party while still in their own employ, I don't think it should be a big deal

Thanks.
I guess what I wanted to confirm is, if there's a party tracking remittance.

If company a and b pays pension for January, is there a world where company a and company b gets notified to verify why two companies are paying in pension to same individual?

TrebleChamp:
The bolded is possible, there was a time Pencom licensed new Pension fund Administrators and moved some people from their formal PFA to the new PFA. So such persons will have two RSA pin, but his retirement savings will be remitted into their new PFA account.
Tell the person involved to contact Pencom if he worked under private company or Laspec if he was a Lagos State staff for further assistance on the matter.

Thanks

Any pension expert in the house?
Got a couple of questions;

- What happens when you have two RSA pins? - is that even possible?
- What happens when you were owed pension and then the company wants to pay back?
- Are they obliged to pay back a lump sum?
- Does anyone track these pension payments, say for instance, one receives pension from two companies and narration is for the same month?

Asking because I heard someone lost his job when the last scenario happened...

Is that really true?

BlueRayDick:


If by the bold u mean A bright student in a public university has to put in more efforts to get good grades when compared to his counterpart in private varsity, I agree with u.

What I'm however saying is after getting ur degree from a public university, the knowledge u acquired from ur public varsity can afford u opportunity to compete favorably with those that graduated from private university

Yes. Yes. I think so too.

I was just saying that since the guy from the underfunded uni has to put in more work...then the uni does not play a small factor...

It's actually a big factor because you've got to put in that extra work before you can even join the conversation about competing with your peers in the market.

BlueRayDick:


This is where I think u are actually wrong.

I've been on a team that had just 2 of us from public universities and 4 from private universities. Mind u, everybody on the team either graduated with 2.1 or 1st class from their respective varsities. What I confirmed at the end of the day was that everyone on the team deserved their place . The intelligence was there for everyone to see

What I meant to say, isn't an actual nerd.

Like, person wey dem dey call jackometer for those kain uni may just be doing same thing an unserious student is doing in a well funded uni. That's what I meant.

Someone's actual intelligence and output, while coming from a result of exposure to solid education, can also come from sheer hardwork aided by the individual's natural brainpower.

That's a different convo.

BlueRayDick:


The problem here is u are comparing the poor students in public universities to their bright counterparts in private universities.

Yes I agree public varsities don't have enough infrastructures like laboratories , studios, workshops, etc. which makes learning difficult..... It still doesn't mean on an average the public varsity graduate won't fair well at the end of the day in his chosen career path.

Maybe its cos I'm speaking from social science/management science point of view. My experience may not actually be in reality with those who studied STEM courses in both varsities.

What I was just trying to point out is that the school one attends plays a big role and not a small role in how one's career turns out.

A bright student from a public uni will need to work harder than a bright student in a well funded private uni.

At least, that's what I think.

raumdeuter:


In my time there were some courses with almost 1000 student and lecturer in front where only 200 can only hear him talking to himself. If that's what you are banking on to pass you are OYO.

In mine (which is relatively recent) we faced same.
Sometimes, we took courses in a stadium.
If you like come, if you like don't come.
Even the lecturer will tell you that you can make noise but you should just shift further behind...

One of our lecturers normally comes to whisper in class. And if you dare say you can't hear him, you're failing the course.

Most people who are making something off that chaos back then were not only brilliant but had to actually put in 2x the work for them to actually have an idea of whatever they were looking to learn.

A nerd in FUOYE may just have the same bandwidth in knowledge with an unserious CU graduate.

BlueRayDick:


In my personal opinion, what matters most is ur secondary school/high school education. That is the best foundation u can get; the university is not the place where u are seeking foundational education.

There is no difference between intelligent UNILAG students and Covenant University students. I've seen this play out in my personal space over and over again. U may not agree with me, but If u put an intelligent CU graduate and UNILAG graduate on the same role they will both perform well.

No. What I meant by foundational education isn't the 1+1 in pre college.

I meant for instance, someone studying comp sci who actually opens visual studio to code in class...no matter what the lecturer ends up teaching or not teaching...will most likely end up faring better than the regular student who writes obsolete code on paper, uses runs to pass the course of one "wicked lecturer" and gets his first laptop during NYSC.


And yes. UNILAG and CU can compete.

But what of CU and DELSU?
Or UNILAG and Fed Poly Ilaro?

Averagely speaking...
