Reps halt sack of 2,000 varsity staff Schools teachers

The House of Representatives has directed the Federal Government to halt the mass retrenchment of Teachers and Workers of University Staff Secondary Schools and Primary Schools across the country.

The leadership of Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) had on the 24th December 2015, embarked on nationwide industrial action over the planned sack of the teachers and workers.

House of Representatives
The directive to government to stop the sacking of the teachers was part of the resolution in a motion ‘under matters of urgent national importance’ sponsored by Babatunde Kolawole (APC-Ondo).

The House mandated its committee on Tertiary Education to meet with the Minister of Education “to throw light on the policy somersault and hasty decision of government to throw out thousands of workers from gainful employment.”

The lawmaker who called for the intervention of the House, argued that sack of productive Nigerian teachers contradicts the proposed recruitment of 500,000 teachers by President Buhari’s administration.

Kolawole noted that teachers and general workers of University Staff Secondary Schools and Primary Schools are employees of the government of the federation through the Universities that engaged their services.

He said, “These teachers and general workers have long been engaged and have put in many years in the service of their fatherland ranging between 10 years and 30 years or more in the case of some of them.”

Kolawole noted with concern “ the recent Government policy of divesting itself from the University staff secondary schools and primary schools funding with the attendant implication of laying off all the teachers and general workers of these schools.”

The lawmaker who expressed concern over the plight of the workers, argued that “the economic reality of the moment and the general economic hardship people are going through today in Nigeria as a result of lack of gainful employment and underemployment,” will be worsened by the decision of the government to close all these schools.

The House urged Federal Government to make efforts to absorb teachers and workers already affected into the mainstream University staff pool.

Buhari Rejects Devaluation Of Naira, Says “I Won’t Kill The Naira”

President Muhammadu Buhari declared late Wednesday in Nairobi that he was yet to be convinced that Nigeria and its people will derive any tangible benefit from an official devaluation of the Naira.

Speaking at an interactive meeting with Nigerians living in Kenya, President Buhari maintained that while export-driven economies could benefit from devaluation of their currencies, devaluation will only result infurther inflation and hardship for the poor and middle classes in Nigeria’s import-dependent economy.

The President added that he had no intention of bringing further hardship on the country’s poor who, he said, have suffered enough already.

Likening devaluing the Naira to having it “killed”, President Buhari said that proponents of devaluation will have to work much harder to convince him that ordinary Nigerians will gain anything from it.

The President also rejected suggestions that the Central Bank of Nigeria should resume the sale of foreign exchange to Bureaux de Change (BDCs), saying that the Bureau de Change business had become a scam and a drain on the economy.

“We had just 74 of the bureaux in 2005, now they have grown to about 2,800,” President Buhari noted.

He alleged that some bank and government officials used surrogates to run the BDCs and prosper at public expense by obtaining foreign exchange from government at official rates and selling it at much higher rates.

“We will use our foreign exchange for industry, spare parts and the development of needed infrastructure.

“We don’t have the Dollars to give to the BDCs. Let them go and get it from wherever they can, other than the Central Bank,” President Buhari told the gathering.

The President reaffirmed his conviction that about a third of petroleum subsidy payments under the previous administration was bogus.

“They just stamped papers and collected our foreign exchange,” he said.

The President appealed to Nigerians studying abroad to bear with his administration as it strives to address the challenges they are facing as a result of new foreign exchange measures.

He said that he was optimistic that the Nigerian economy will stabilize soon with the efficient implementation of measures and policies that have been introduced by his administration.

Apple Introduces The iPhone 6S And iPhone 6S Plus (See Stunning Photos)

Today, Apple has unveiled the latest generation of the iPhone in the form of the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. Rumors have been swirling for the past few months, with suggestions that Apple would integrate a Force Touch Display, update the devices’ cameras, and use a more powerful processor.

But the moment of truth has finally arrived, so let’s get to it.

As can be expected from an ‘S’ year, the next-generation iPhones don’t look all that different from last year’s models. However, the innards have been significantly tweaked.

Design
Following rumors, the next iPhone will come in a rose gold color, and all iPhone models are made with a brand new Apple custom alloy, the same alloys used in the aerospace industry. The Apple team has also introduced a new type of stronger gla$$ for the display.

3D Touch
Apple has introduced a feature called 3D Touch, which shows an extra dimension to the screen you’re used to. Using Force Touch, which is already available on the Apple Watch and on new MacBooks, users can hold down on various apps to both ‘peek’ and ‘pop’.

For example, you could lightly tap on the content of an email to peek at the content inside, and if you press harder, the content you’re peeking at will pop open fully.

As is standard with Force Touch, the iPhone will offer haptic feedback as a part of the 3D Touch experience.

A few examples of 3D Touch on the iPhone include: lightly tap on the camera icon to get camera options, and press harder to go straight into selfie mode, lightly tap on various app to choose to go into various parts of the app, lightly tap on a flight number and get flight tracking information as a ‘peek’, or Force Touch an address to get a preview within the Maps app.

It’s not just default Apple apps that use Force Touch — Instagram, Facebook and others have integrated 3D Touch into their apps to let you peek and pop.

Latest Crunch Report
Users can also employ Force Touch to switch between apps instead of using the old double-tap on the home button. Simply Force Touch the edge of the display and swipe between previously opened apps.

This is made possible with the addition of an array of sensors added right under the display.

A9
The new A9, found in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, is the third generation of the 64-bit chip Apple has been using, built with a new transistor architecture. It’s 70 percent faster than the A8 chip used in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and 90 percent faster graphics performance than the previous generation.

Alongside the new A9, the new iPhones will feature a brand new M9 coprocessor that is always on, to help detect motion for apps like Health. Thanks to the new processors, TouchID is twice as fast in the new phones.

Camera
For the first time in years, Apple is adding more megapixels to the iPhone camera, offering a 12-megapixel camera. That’s a 50 percent improvement from earlier generations of the iSight camera.

But in order to avoid trading off more pixels for lower image quality, Apple has introduced ‘deep trench isolation’, which separates photo diodes to help maintain accurate color quality and reduce crosstalk and noise.

The new iSight camera still protrudes slightly from the body of the phone, just as it does on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

Beyond still imagery, the new iSight camera is also capable of taking 4K video, which means each frame has 8 million pixels.

Plus, the front-facing camera has been upgraded to a 5-megapixel camera. And for selfie fans out there, Apple has added a new front-facing flash feature that uses the LED screen to mimic a TrueTone flash that you’d find on the back of the camera. The display also gets 3X brighter right at the moment of capture (similar to Photo Booth on OS X) so that there is enough light for your Kardashian-style shots.

Apple is also introducing a new feature called Live Photos. This works by taking a few extra frames of photos before and after you snap a photo, so that each of your photos have snippets of live ac

6 Reasons Why You Should Use An Android Phone by javablaze®™

The android OS is one of the ingenious innovations of the 20th century because it gives tech geeks access to a quantum of application which they previously do not have the right to use.

Android is compatible with phones. It has a host of downloadable apps that are either free or paid for.

Aside from the regular chatting, calling and surfing the internet; there is much more the android phone can do which you may not be aware of. Jovago.com, Africa’s No 1 Hotel Booking Portal shares some of these open-secret functions.

These functions are made possible with the aid of the amazing apps introduced by app developers.

Solve a Math Problem

This android app helps solve mathematics like magic. How can your android phone do this? Users simply take a picture of the math problems and the app can help instantaneously find solutions to arithmetic, fractions, decimal numbers, linear equations and select logarithms.

It is your typical on-the-go math teacher. It only supports printed math texts.

Voice Search

One advantage of using the android phone is that you have unfettered access to all of Google services. The voice search is one of those services.

It is a voice command type of search in which the user will tell the phone whatever it wants it to search for. It is also similar to the Google search but this time, you have to use your voice instead of typing.

Manage Data Usage

Many users complain about the rate at which their data gets exhausted when using an android phone. The complaints are less today because you can now set a daily data limit usage for your data. For example, if you do not want to go beyond 50 MB, you can set it at that level. Your phone will immediately alert you if you at the set data level or it immediately turn off your data.

Share Apps

If your phone is Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled, you can share apps, photos, videos, music and documents by merely tapping it with another. However, ensure that you enable this function to make this possible.

Type by Swiping

This is another interesting function made possible by android. Users can now type by simply drawing the patterns of what they intend to type on the keyboard by using their fingers. It is more convenient and easy to use.

Sync your phone with a computer

The synchronization of your phone with a computer system has been made easy. You do this with by turning on your Bluetooth. You can listen to songs on your computer, receive calls and make calls as well.

Interesting!! Google Set To Team Up With Ford To Build Self-Driving Cars In 2016

Google may not manufacture its own cars after all, but rather team up with Ford to build its self-driving vehicles.

The two companies will announce that they are pairing up to make piloted cars during next month’s Consumer Electronics Show, Yahoo Autos reports.

Although that report is still unverified, the Ford partnership could add validity.

Chances are good the scoop is true, however. In November, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. said that the carmaker would need to pair with big tech companies in order to survive the coming series of revolutions facing the transportation industry.

If Google and Ford do team up, the move could signal that people inside Google realized that manufacturing a car from scratch was unfeasible — or at least far too costly. Rather than using Ford to make its own pod cars like the one pictured above. It’s instead likely that Google will just utilize Ford cars for its own aspirations.

In terms of a timeline, if the report is true, you can expect to see the fruits of this endeavor within a few years — if not sooner.

This likely won’t be the only pairing Google makes with a carmaker. Just as it has done with smartphone manufacturers, the company could become the brains behind all kinds of self-driving cars while it leaves the hardware to someone else.

Interesting!!! Netflix Now Available In Nigeria

Netflix CEO, and Co-founder Reed Hastings has just announced the availability of Netflix in a bunch of new countries across the world, including Nigeria.

Hastings made the announcement during his presentation at CES just a few minutes ago. Besides announcing availability in the new countries, he also announced that Netflix was planning to release over 600 hours of original content in 2016.

Netflix is a provider of on-demand Internet streaming media. The company was established in 1997 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California. It started its subscription-based service in 1999.

Starting right now, users in Nigeria can head to Netflix and for $8 a month (~N1600 or N2080 depending on where you’re getting your dollars from) get a huge collection of movies, shows and documentaries provided that your internet is good. At this moment, I should point out that content may vary from location to location thanks to licensing deals. That said, if you have been looking for an alternative to DSTV, this is a pretty good one.

New users on the service get a free month’s subscription by the way…so…Netflix and Chill anyone?

10 Categories Of Nigerian Ladies You Should Not Woo If You Are A Broke Guy

If you if ain’t deficient in thinking, you will know that many of these things are nothing but the bitter truth

Without deceiving ourselves, there are certain categories of ladies that will turn you down in a wink no matter your level of confident, your talents, your certificate, dress sense and all that.

Even the chances of a broke PhD holder dating them is liken to Bode George’s refusal to refund the billions of naira he embezzled

Without wasting time, let’s get to business cool

10 Categories Of Ladies You Should Not Woo If You Are a Broke Guy

1. Ladies Who Are Obsessed With Suya

Pls don’t get this twisted. There’s nothing actually wrong being suya lover, but the truth of the matter is that, you will see some ladies hanging at every suya joint.

These categories of ladies will suya-zone you when you woo them. it’s better you run for your life

2. Ladies Who Keep Sugar Daddies

They roll with yahoo boys, 419s, sugar daddies and politicians. Wetin u wan use impress these kind ladies ? Money is being splashed on them that they see every other dude as people who are not of God’s creation.

When I come in contact with these kinds of ladies, I bet Usain Bold will not catch up with me

3. Ladies Who Are Obsessed With Marriage

These categories of ladies are not spiritually inclined but they can foretell the future accurately than T. B Joshua.

By mere looking, they can tell if your future will be bright or not. There’s no point asking these ladies for a relationship if you are still that broke dude living from hand to mouth

4. Ladies Who Are Voracious In Nature

It’s very shameful that when you invite some ladies on a date, they will come with their friends, if possible they can even bring their maid along.

However, these ladies lack composure that waiters will be shaking their heads in disappointment.

They will order for shawama, friend rice and chicken, juice, ice cream, cake and will eat as if there’s famine in the land.

You should run faster than Usain Bolt when you notice these habit in ladies because they will screw you up and drop you when your cash no longer flows

5. Ladies Who Are Fashion Freaks

Having high taste in fashion and wearing good clothing is not a bad idea, but some are so obsessed with artificial parameters, that is, looking natural is a taboo to them.

Even if they wake up by 7am, before taking their bath, they will apply make-up before stepping out of their compound.

Funny enough, despite the application of facial parameters they wear on their skin, many of them will end up looking like Papa Ajasco. Oooboi na to run from these categories of babes oooo.

6. Ladies Who Show No Appreciation For Gesture

During last week’s lecture (psychology) which main thrust centered on “A GESTURE OF APPRECIATION ; a controversial issue arose, and I was so astonished that the higher percentage of ladies in my class said that they will never call a guy who sends them N100 recharge card, but will manage to call or flash a dude who sends N500+ recharge card.

This almost resulted in chaos and I couldn’t but shook my head for those ladies.

There’s no point dating ladies with this mentality

7. Ladies That Change Their Dps 50 Times A Day

Either you agree with me or not, apart from the fact that some ladies are photo freak, some are immature that they change their display pictures up to 30times daily.

However, they do that to show their taste in fashion, level of exposure and their level of sophistication. These categories of ladies are scum in my personal opinion

8. Lazy Girls

When a lady is very lazy, she sees every man who comes her way as a messiah that she will mount her financial need on.

They are so lazy that they don’t venture into skill acquisition exercise.

They know nothing about bead making, hair dressing, baking, manicure and pedicure.

These categories of ladies have the mentality of “a real man should always provide the need of his girlfriend”.

9. Party Freak

It’s a good thing to rejice with people who are celebrating, but note that not every lady attend other people’s party with the intention of celebrating with them.

However, some are so freaked that they will be the first to buy aso igbeyawo (wedding clothes) of people they barely know.

They will dress gorgeous even more than the bride. You will see them disturbing photographers as if their lives depend on them.

They will later take to their BBM, whatsapp, facebook and will flaunt their styles.

These ladies will bash broke hustling dudes even if they hold Diploma or Bachelor’s degree

6. If you go to the church and sit in the front roll just because you want to flaunt you new clothings. My brother! Heaven knows you went to church to show off, not to glorify God

7. If you PING at regular intervals, that is, from the beginning of the service to the end, I’m sorry you only went to church probably because you don’t want to be seen staying at home

Why I Refused To Sign Ola Dips Into YBNL – Olamide

Guess you all know Ola Dips has been Signed to Reminisce’s record label, LRR/EDGE Records. Read HERE

OlaDips dropped back to back hit singles and was featured in so many tracks last year under Ob9ja management,  It was glaring that he had caught the affection of so many Label Bosses, Including the YBNL Label boss.

As a matter of fact, a good questionnaire would have predicted Olamide signing Ola dips. The big question is what went wrong with nature?.

After weeks and months of silence the YBNL C.E.O, Olamide confirms his admiration for the young rapper, but insists he would love some competition, He further noted that He shares almost the same style with “Chinko Ekun“, with just a little difference, It would be hard branding Oladips as a YBNL Artiste because it would implicate that one of them changes style. Quite reasonable from Olamide, He’s not only and artiste but also a business man that understands branding andthe elements of marketing.

He further stresses that Oladips can always stake a competition and keep other young rappers on their toes, If he’s signed to YBNL, YBNL might enjoy a monotony and Oladips might not be able to live up to his full potential because of lack of competition.

Above all The YBNL Boss wishes him well and hopes he enjoys a successful career at LRR/EDGE Records.

Lassa Fever Kills Two In Asaba FMC - Health

Tension over Lassa fever outbreak has continued to unsettled patients at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba following the death of two patients within four days.

While many of the patients and nurses have fled the hospital for fear of the unknown, no fewer than over 55 persons have been reportedly killed across the country in the last few weeks of its outbreak.

Investigation revealed that it took the efforts of the Health workers at the FMC to remove the bodies of the two patients reportedly said to have died of the diseases.

The two victims (names withheld), hospital sources said died two days interval after being managed for a week plus but the State Health Commissioner, Dr. Nicholas Azinge who refused to confirm the incident, said “I know some persons have died, I cannot speak further on that because the Federal Ministry of Health is already doing something to sensitize the people and we in Delta State are also sensitising our people”.

With twenty-two patients quarantined at present at the hospital, further investigation revealed that there are palpable tension and fear of the unknown among the health workers, especially the doctors who feared that the disease may be something else.

A Doctor who did not want his name in the print, said “We too we are afraid of the present situation with over twenty two persons already quarantined and so far three have died, so the situation expresses deep fears of the unknown, but by the grace of God, we shall overcome the situation”.

But in a swift reaction, the acting Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr. Victor Osiatumeh said “It is not as if Nurses or patients have fled the hospital, as for the nurses and doctors, they are careful with protective measures to ensure they too are not contacted, the situation as a matter of fact is precarious but we are managing it, especially the twenty two persons quarantined”.

Further investigation revealed that relations of the twenty-two quarantined persons are also careful with a view to ensuring they are not infected with the disease.

Two weeks ago a 65-year old woman from Anambra State died of the disease at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Asaba after being managed for a period of time. Since then there has been panic and fear of the unknown across the State.

10 Myopic Statements Made By Ladies That Land Them Into Late Marriage

Though I'm not an expert when it comes to relationships. I'm only putting this up so as to open the eyes of our young ladies to reality

The truth of the matter is that virtually every lady wishes to marry before her mid twenties but behavioural patterns and attitude problems have deprived many of their wishes and desires.

However, we are in a country where people always fail to admit that they are responsible for their misdeed and misplaced priorities; rather, they see it as devil's attack, thereby, running from pastors to alfas, from herbalists to Guru Maraji, for marital breakthrough

Without wasting time, below are the myopic statements that land many of our ladies into late marriages

1. I can't Woo a Guy

Personally speaking and generally summarizing, ladies who utter this statements are somewhat childish and are bereft of what relationship entails. They are full of over-bloated ego and pompous not knowing that a lady is expected to always smile; be friendly and polite to guys that approach her and also respect their courage to have made an approach. Being friendly does not mean that you are a flirt and cheap to get. Though, we all know that it sounds absurd for a lady to walk up to a random guy on the street and start wooing him. But it is not a crime for a lady to tell a dude that she likes his clothings and the smell of his perfume. This is the first element of starting a convo. I know that some will even say that "God forbid I do that". Don't let pride and over-bloated ego land you in OLX


2. I can't Marry a Man with Small Joystick

The Bible says that everything God has made is marvelously and wonderfully made , so why condemn God's creature?. Even here on nairaland, you will discriminating against guys whose joysticks are very small. Whether it is 1.5 or 2.5 inches, it doesn't matter at all. The search of big joystick normally land our ladies in late marriage.

3. I can't Date a Jobless Guy

In Nigeria, ladies are naturally favoured and most times find it easier to secure jobs, unlike their male counterparts who face a lot in the labour market. Being jobless is not a stigma and does not make a man worthless or useless, so why should a lady make an outright discrimination against dudes who passed through the four walls of tertiary institutions and can't find jobs afterwards?. Ladies who utter this myopic/discriminatory statement against jobless dudes, lack rational thinking, which normally land many of them in late marriage

4. I can't Manage with any Man

Barely would you find a lady that's ready to stick to a man through thick and thin. Though life is all about standard and our standard is based on our discretion. Some will say "I can't mary a guy staying in a self contain apartment"; "I can't marry a guy who earns less than 200,000" per month; "he has just one car,,its even a Camry sef..if it were to be Range Rover, I would have managed it "Personally, my interest in a lady dwindles the moment she says she can't manage with a man but an already made man. Evidence has it that ladies who often utter this statement, at the end of the day, settle down for less

5. My Husband must be Tall, Handsome, Chubby, etc

For God's sake, stopping being misled by Nollywood movies. Stop searching for a tall, handsome and men with six packs. This will not put food on the table. Of course, those qualities are okay but these unrealistic pictures of dark, tall, chubby and handsome dudes may keep you waiting unnecessarily; these men may not even come and ask for your hand in marriage and before you know it, you are already 37 years old.. So be wise; if you find a kind hearted man that truly loves you and that gives you peace and happiness, don't hesitate to marry him. It doesn't matter if your husband is as short as Wristbangle, Ronald4lif or Lalasticlala  abeg na joke ooooo

6. I can't wash my Husband's clothes

I was astonished when I heard a lady saying she's not a maid and definitely can't wash her husband's clothes.

Top Apps That Are Draining Your Battery, Occupying RAM And Eating Up Your Data - Phones by javablaze

It’s a known fact that smartphones get slower with use and this is caused by installed apps. While these apps may be useful and hard to do away with, the negative effects they have on our devices can make one consider removing them. For instance, Facebook is one app almost everyone has but it’s one of the most power-hungry Android apps ever.
AVG, an anti-virus maker, recently released a list of apps you should probably consider uninstalling from your device. It’s a huge list containing most of our favorite apps and games.

Top 10 performance draining apps that run at startup
These apps automatically start running the moment you boot your device and as expected, Facebook tops the list here followed by
Google Play Service. Blackberry Messenger and Instagram too make the list. It’s interesting seeing four Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Pages Manager and Instagram) on this list.

9) Microsoft Outlook 
10) Tinder 

Top 10 storage eaters run by user
These apps eat up storage whenever they are run by the user. What this implies is that is your device has a low storage, running multiple of these apps will make your device start to lag or even hang. Here you'll see apps like Amazon shopping, chrome, Spotify, etc Here's the full list: 
1) Spotify Music 
2) Chrome

How Assassins Killed Someone Else Instead Of Me – Daddy Showkey

Veteran Nigerian singer, Daddy Showkey, has said he took a break from music because assassins were after his life.

The ‘Galala’ singer who made his way to limelight from the Ghetto of Ajegunle, Lagos state, recalled how he left the music scene after he had an accident, injured his spinal cord and on his return was almost killed by paid assassins.

Recently, Daddy Showkey, in an interview with HipTv, said, “I left the music industry after I had a terrible accident and injured my spinal cord. I then went abroad to work on it.

“After I returned, I had to go back again for further treatment. As soon as I fully recovered and ready to hit the music scene again, assassins were after me.

“They came to my house to kill me but met my absence and ended up killing another person,” the multi-talented singer recounted.

God’s mercy over you sir.
