Some bit of this problem is cultural, most people assume more is better, so a school forcing 15 subjects down the throat of students will be preferred to the ones doing 12.

After the Ebola outbreak 2014, most schools announced extra school hours to cover for the delayed resumption. I insisted my kids won't be part of it and since it wasn't because of the payment of the extra fee, the school had no choice but to allow my kids leave at the normal closing hour. My kids have never attended holiday coaching and never had extra lesson teachers.

At the end of that term, there was no difference in the academic performance of my kids and the other students who stayed back.

The internet is not as annoynous as many believe...

Alleged members of a global sextortion operation that targeted more than 100 victims and led to the death of a 17-year-old boy were extradited to the United States on Sunday to face federal criminal charges which could land them 30yrs imprisonment if convicted..

Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and Samson Ogoshi, 20, both of Lagos, Nigeria, were arrested following a joint investigation by the FBI and Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and are now in federal custody in Michigan.

Both young men were indicted in May by a federal grand jury on charges including conspiracy to sexually exploit minors and conspiracy to distribute child pornography, according to court records.

Samuel Ogoshi also faces a more serious charge of sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor resulting in death, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. That charge stems from an alleged online encounter that investigators say resulted in the death of 17-year-old Jordan DeMay, who died by suicide after falling victim to a sextortion scam.

Ubanz:
This is not village people,it's the incompetence of the Electricity Distribution Company (DISCO) in that region and the Nigerian electricity regulators.
They disregard their dilapidated infrastructure , everywhere u go you see dangers lurking.
Low flying cables,many poles looking like the leaning tower of Pisa, unprotected transformers, power lines engulfed by trees. In fact it's so scary.

Some time ago a friend died in Abuja while trying to bypass a puddle of water across where he parked his car, unfortunately he was electrocuted as he touched a tree to keep his balance.
I've quit weeping for Nigeria because we put ourselves in this quagmire while blaming the political class that we are supposed to vote out. Old recycled politicians have no place in the emerging world of hightech .

Thank you...

I am disappointed I had to get to page three of the thread before I saw someone who could analyze the root cause of the issue.

I say to friends that religion in this part of the world shuts down rational thinking.
No one is asking or investigating the reason for the failure of the pole and we are surprised that our country is at the lower end of technological advancement...

Addition and Subtraction of fractions...

7 7/8 - 4 3/8 = 3 1/2

3 1/4 - 1 1/2 = 1 3/4

This is a lot of attention to details! Impressive!!!

Ebament...

Only few people do the right thing in Nigeria but sadly we believe the country is what it is because of the actions and inactions of our leaders only.

O ma se o...

Pastor or not, stress is a silent killer...

okaba04:
sincerly a close friend of mine is an SS i have seen how much he has suffer fail health..a kind of confuse here..

Would you like to make an innocent child go through similar circumstance?

You have a 25% chance of making a baby with the SS genotype but before you take a decision, I'll suggest you visit a family with a SS child.

Broadband through coax or fiber optic cable is between $40 and $80 depending on if you bundle cable streaming service.

Mobile data is around $10/GB

Here we go again with another one...

It is laughable that some folks are still under the illusion that someone somewhere will have to inject a substance into their bodies to have control over them.

Truth be told, you are been controlled already!

You get targeted ads on your Internet capable devices to condition your mind, the news you read or exposed to is heavily skewed, you even watch movies, etc. Google knows when you are sleeping, where you work, where you've been to.

Many here think they are anonymous on the Internet, every post you make have bits of information that can be used to identify you and your location can be determined. A cellphone tower can easily tell your location with a less than 500m accuracy.

The rich, wealthy and influencial people are not bothered about been controlled by vaccines from "Bill Gates" but "highly spiritual" people from third world countries are crying...

What will "Bill Gates" or anyone gain from controlling YOU?

For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are unbeliving [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God’s grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18.

DStv has up to 2500 channels? Tell me something...

Olabisi Olabode, lying is a sin and you should not twist the Bible to defend lies. Remember, a liar is a thief.

Thank you for taking out time to find out my name, I'm sure it would have taken less time to discover the sarcasm in my comment...

Massachusetts Street in Uyo. Dumb liar.
With the kind of nonsense you typed, you can NEVER pass US visa interview. You need to improve your IQ.

FBI Nairaland division, can't a brother call into existence the things that do not exist in peace again?

I am eagerly waiting to see what some people will say or do when a new US president is sworn in on Jan 20, 2021.

OLAADEGBU:


He has to burn the candle at both ends.

He knows the courts won't grant his wild wishes on mere hear says and speculations. He'll rather play with the intelligence of his co-conspirators than prove his case in the court...

Rudy knows too well as a lawyer that these allegations should be taken to the law courts, not news conferences and denifetly not the court of public opinions...

shogsman:

Sey explanation difficult for you ni egbon,sey dem dey inaugurate president for white house,its obviously capitol na,trump and his cohorts makes up the white house, they're all getting replaced soon,that is a fuvking renovation sir,the context is very clear from the comment na.you trumpers won't calm down and comprehend

No it is not, but standing logic on its head is!.

I quoted where you said the "White House is under renovation"...

It is obvious you aren't humble enough to acknowledge what you said/wrote is wrong, so I'll leave you.

shogsman:

I'd argue with you,but it's obvious you trumpers can't discern words effectively. Read what you quoted and see where you're wrong

This is one of the reasons I don't usually argue with folks on nairaland.
Just because I took out time to correct the wrong information you shared, I must be a Trumper, how funny!
As we speak, the perimeter of The White House has non-scalable fencing around it. It was installed prior to the election on Nov 3.
Tell me when the picture of the "White House" you shared was taken.

shogsman:

I plied the subway regularly so I don't need you to tell me what the capitol is,I am talking about the total overhaul of the white house,the fact that the legislative sit of the country is in preparation of the inauguration should tell you everything

You cannot say Aso Rock is under renovation and share the pictures of the National Assembly.
Can you kindly tell me the name of the building in the picture you shared?

Whether Biden maintain his win or Trump stages a comeback through the back door, there will be a swearing-in by noon on Jan 20, 2021, hence the renovation or construction of the swearing-in platform.

shogsman:

See this ignoramus

My guy, you are the ignoramus here, the pictures you posted is the capitol building where congress members seat! Not all the white houses in the district of Columbia is The White House...lol.

I know for sure because I've been there twice! The capitol was under construction in 2016 and 2018 when I went there.

shogsman:
Construction currently ongoing in the White House in preparation of Biden swearing in,in case you're still stupid enough to think your mob boss will remain in power

My guy, both pictures you posted are that of the Capitol...lol, NOT the White house.
On one of your pictures. it is even boldly written "Area Closed, By Order of the United States CAPITOL Police Board"

planetx:
Ballot papers are printed by the department of homeland security not the states.

Elections in the USA is conducted by local authorities. There is no central coordination from the FG, USA also pratices true federalism. The Wall Street Journal says otherwise about the printing of ballot papers.

planetx:
The most rigged election in the history of elections in the US, mind boggling evidence of ballot tampering, erasing of ballot papers, non existent mail in ballot, dead people voting etc are pouring in. Trump just set a trap for them and they fall for it and all the legitimate mail in ballot have an invisible watermark like a currency paper. The supreme court will toss out this fraudulent election, I can bet my life savings on that.

Do you know that the elections in the USA are conducted by state authorities? So how exactly was the president able to put watermarks on all mail in ballots printed and managed by 50 different states?

Please do not waste your life savings...

YoonSung50:
is it paid before ?

Some people wrongly assume most things are free in America...but will be shocked when they are told that even the ambulance they get with a 9 1 1 call is at least $600!

Comedian2019:
I don't gave 75M at present. I'll wait for ten years when I will buy this same model for 4M.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 is even more than 4M...Who knows what the Naira/$ exchange will even be in 10yrs?

Hausa:
Hi, bro. Can I send you a mail?

Sure...

To those doubting or asking which country this happened...
Which other country in the world has more than 162,000 deaths from covid-19 complications?
This is the current situation in God's own country, the saner clime, USA.
