Facebook Now In 100 Languages

Facebook, the World Number social media Platform is now in over 100 languages. This information was made by the President and Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg on his Facebook page.
With more than one billion people using a language other than English! Today we added Fula, Maltese and Corsican.

"This matters because for people to share what matters to them and see what matters to the people they care about, they need services available in a language they know. Some of the languages we’ve added don’t have meaningful presences on the internet. Others, like Corsican, are in danger of disappearing altogether, according to UNESCO."
"So thanks to everyone in our community for helping us hit this milestone of 100 languages! We'll keep working to open up our community to everyone -- no matter where they live or what language they speak."

President Jonathan has given his reason for conceding defeat to President elect, Gen Buhari during the March 28th Presidential election. The President said he decided to concede to avoid a collective tragedy. He said there has to be a nation before any personal ambition can be fulfilled and that for him, what comes first is the nation before ambition. Pres Jonathan said this when he received the new French Ambassador to Nigeria, Denis Guaer (pictured left) at the state house yesterday April 16  "Since I assumed duty, I have been involved in quelling political crises in some African countries and I know what they passed through and what some are still going through.

NO MORE JAMB SCRATCH CARD FROM 2017 – Oloyede

Image
Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB) Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyode said yesterday the board would abolish scratch cards to register for and check results, with effect from 2017. Oloyode, who spoke at the National Executive Council meeting of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) in Abuja, said students would generate JAMB PIN number for themselves from their phone or computers before registering for examinations. He said the JAMB would not support a situation where banks and vendors hoard the cards, only to sell them at a higher price. The JAMB registrar challenged NASU to get involved in the ownership of Computer-Based Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely exploiting students. He added that if academic-based stakeholders, such as NASU, own CBT centres, the board will be confident  the examinations will be conducted without hitch. Credit: Nation newspaper.
