naija!!!!!!!!

Na wash!!!

I don't read this kind of article. It could prolong the digestion of the GARRI i ate this evening. hmmmm.

ifeness: naija!!!!!!!!

Yes! nah who dey call me

adonisyung: What level? Primary and secondary I guess....hell no! not tertiary,cz there aint no book in my school's library

Remind the name of that your school. I often mistake it for ''Okitipupa distance learning adult education centre''.

chucky234: N100bn spent on books yet the whole libraries are empty,stocked with ancients books published by Macmillan publishers.
Where are the books distributed because as far as I know our primary,secondary schools and tertiary institutions have no modern books in their libraries thereby making it a lucrative venture for teachers and lecturers to sell handouts to students at (exuberant) prices. This govt is a huge joke,gosh!

(Exorbitant)....

The parents of these school children didn't ask of this. They only begged the government to improve the standard of education. From my investigation the children don't even get the books in complete numbers. Now government is spending a states yearly budgetable sum on books. I advice we allow parents buy these books afteall nigeria has never been a totalitarian state. O God direct the steps of your choosen servant JONATHAN

engineerd: 100 Billion Naira could have built and equipped a world class research university!!! I don't understand what sort of Leaders we have at the helm of affairs. Don't we want to progress as a people This just baffles me.....when will they get tired of chopping money and see that the black race is a laughing stock of the world!!! We as black people are the most backward race on earth.....WHY?? Are we just inherently savage like and closer to animals like Lord Lugard asserted?

Point of correction, Nigeria have no leaders but RULERS, i always laugh when i hear people calling these bunch of criminals leaders.Whenever Nigeria gets a Leader we all will know. But till then we have to address them as RULERS or LOOTERS if you like.Where do you think these vissionless crooks will lead you to? whenever Nigerians see Leaders they will know through his/her performances.

[quote author=greaterlove]Before we scream our brains out let's do this maths, if our population is about 150m, and let's say about 20m are in public primary and secondary schools all over naija and the government is to print an average of 5 books per student for each class at 1000naira per book that already is 100billion. As per the money spent I don't see it as a problem,( and nowhere did he the minister state it was spent in one year) but what I see as a problem is if the books do not reach the students they are meant for or if the government is not printing at all. is there anybody in the house who is a teacher in a public school that can clarify if government really distributes books in his or her school?[/sirquote] sir i no say i no go school but which kain book u wan print for 1000 naira x 20 m copies dats like 7 dollars per copie are they space science textbooks or brain surgery ones. The truth less than 10% of d 100b

Proof 100 Billion ?? well rounded up

Hmmmm!

N1000 per book? It costs less than N200 per book if you are printing in bulk as we assumed govt does,so where did you get your ridiculous calculation from?

okpara ugo:

Sorry,thank you jare.

chucky234: N1000 per book? It costs less than N200 per book if you are printing in bulk as we assumed govt does,so where did you get your ridiculous calculation from?

If they really print for that less then the minister needs to explain. I buy books so I just took 1000 since the lowest of them is usually around that range. I just thought that since the minister was talking to professionals in that field he won't have just come up with a figure that can't be backed up except we are concluding also that the professionals seated there are dummies. I also do not want to rush into condemning the government when they have not really presented a breakdown of how the money was spent and if it was spent in just one academic year.

na spirit write the books wey them use 1billion naira buy? naija I hail thee

The honourable minister please give us the profoor?
