HigherEd:
Considering the current Covid19 increased virulence and the obvious lack of a vaccine in Nigeria. it might be a good idea for students of social sciences, education, business and commerce, law etc to go back home in a bid to depopulate the Universities.

The reason is majority of these programmes can be conveniently taught online. As a matter of fact, the recent zoom update is quite better improved to support teaching. E.g a large class of students can now breakout into different breakout sessions therefore improving the experience.

The only students that should be retained in school at this moment in my opinion should be those of the science and technology, medicine and surgical departments who need to use laboratories and can't simulate such an educational experience online.

Please add ceteris paribus next time...

But you know all things are not equal in Naija. lol

Sir the word privacy is an illusion in this present age.
-Google is tracking you
-True caller is harvesting your details.
-DSS knows your location just by dialling your number
-Telecom companies are recording all your calls.
A taxify driver was robbed lasted year in my state. The police downloaded all their phone convo up to 2 months back and tracked the robbers to nasarawa. True life story.
There is no privacy anywhere in the world. As long as everyone does not have access to your information there is no problem

Per the bolded i just laughed. i keep telling people that the average Nigerian is irretrievably daft and cannot see beyond their nose.

With all companies you are given a privacy form, even with Banks too. Data protection is a big deal in the world today.

That being said a Hotel room is actually MORE PRIVATE than your own home self, it's even more private than your toilet in your own home.

Does that look like a hotel where guests are given privacy forms to sign let alone privacy forms stating cameras are in the room and what the hotel would do with the footage upon review during checkout?

Nigerians sha.

Maybe cameras should also be installed in public toilets (i.e banks , federal ministries etc

This PWC tax head is just a scholar with no local sense of how Naija can work.

We privatized power... what has changed? Or isn’t the power sector viable again?

Forget other countries! I’m yet to see them proffer tailor made solutions for Nigerian problems.

Government taking loans to build railway should not be seen as a problem BUT government failing to immediately concession the rail lines built should be seen as a problem.

The latter is the Nigerian solution not the former.

How many company’s can actually invest (pioneer investment) in Nigeria’s rail sector ? Do you know the cost run? So when they fix the price at the reflective price of N Naira who will pay?

We already have many classy restaurants folding up Cos the number of people who can afford their meals are not many enough to break even those that ain’t folding only Cos they are being used as money laundering channels.

Jackyboy:

Anytime you see suspects being paraded with their hands covered, just know they've been tortured.
They'll tell you to climb on a chair, then cuff your hand to a celling fan hook. After which the chair will be kicked off, so imagine your whole body mass being suspended by one hand attached to a handcuff which is cuffed to a celling fan hook.
If you think that's all sorry, now your legs (knees/ankle/bones) will be beaten with batons
while you dangle on your arm.
You'll confess to anything my guys just for them to bring you down !!!!

This is no story....I dey inside sanko witness am first hand......and I was just a minor oh and was forced to carry corpse of someone they shot!!!!
(Inside Mile 1 station the most dreaded station in Port Harcourt)

Your hand go rise like fresh agege bread!!!
Your agony is directly proportional to you weight.

You see that guy to the left......I think he has been subjected to it......

They did that to my friend back in school days ... ekosodin police station .

Most policemen are heartless sha .

In fact everybody for Naija heartless . What a violence crazed country

Nigerians smh

They are donating and you’re happy

Name ONE country America has helped become prosperous ... name ONE !

Kudejo:
Joe biden was just elected and he has already ended the travel ban and now he donated equipment to the NPF but yet the stupid people in Nigeria decided to do a prayer march for Trump during the election. When will we learn?

Succinct analysis and recommendations.

Sometimes I wonder which “evil spirit” Dey that politics sef wey no Dey allow them implement these type of ideas

Cantonese:
Trucking is very good business the world over. What can you do without trucks?

See, politics and corruption make it hard for government to fix the problem of trucks and bad roads around Apapa axis. Be minded also that a lot of those big organizations who face the water front have converted their premises to tank farms. Formerly trucks only picked up goods inside Apapa port. Now trucks need to pick up petroleum products in the tank farms scattered everywhere there.

The ports generate a lot of money. Haulage trucks make a lot of money. It is very competitive and our politicians have invested a lot in it.

NPA has done woefully in organising the ports, especially as it relates to containers and positioning of trucks. Government failed to fix the roads. Truck drivers and owners refuse to behave appropriately because politicians who are owners back them. The various security agencies put in place at the ports see it as a veritable source of wealth making.

Apapa port always had railway running in it. It’s been there for too many years, connected to Oyingbo. Getting it to work may not solve the problem. Trains can only run on designated routes. What will happen to goods not going out of Lagos? What about interstate goods not going to Ibadan. Will owners feel comfortable using trains? Will it be more cost effective for the importer?

Government can do the following:
1. Fix the road network in Apapa and Tin can Island
2. With the use of badges some containers can go to kirikiri to be picked up by trucks and delivered to the bonded terminals.
3. The Orile trailer park must be fixed and expanded enough to contain more trailers.
4. Proper monitoring system must be put in place
5. NPA must organize the ports properly

Cheers.

You can’t take trucks off the roads

Haven’t you been following Brexit? Can’t you see how important the trucking sector was in their negotiations with EU?

Haven’t you checked America out? Ever heard of 16 -18 wheelers?

It’s demonized here because of our bad roads and transport systems

And also we don’t produce ANYTHING so cost of acquiring a truck that’s 10 years old sef is high so we left with trucks that are over 70 years old lol

Femich18:
Good. I hope sanity returns to that road since trucks and trailers will be cleared off the road

Oga Nigeria’s problem is not corruption

It’s a lack of strong and fair government system (Our federalism is Unitarism in disguise) and lack of strong institutions (federal and state)

I’ve observed a lot about America and it’s clear they are a nation filled with corrupt people, na just better PR dem get.

BeeBeeOoh:
It has gotten so bad in Nigeria that for you to succeed if you ain't careful you must be a criminal or get into one crime or the other.


In fact, we have institutionalized corruption and crime in this country.

Very ignorant write up

anonymous1759:


If ICC can't prosecute American and her western wives they should leave Buratai and others to answer to the Nigerian Judicia System .

Enough of this charade going on in the ICC if Bush , Obama and Cameroun are walking freely they've no morale justification to prosecute anyone.

George bush sef dey walk freely.

The australian officers who were recently uncovered several attrocities no ICC

ICC is just a colonial tool

Let AU handle the matter if need be

Karleb:
Most companies do what? Abeg, they don't do shiit.

Tolexander:
can you imagine this nonsense cos of an election outside his state, not even sharing any boundary with his state.
Someone should tell me Tinubu had nothing to gain from that huge investment.

And when Tinubu got hold of Federal power, he started using security and thugs against the opposition as it was witnessed in Osun and Lagos State

Please spare mme the useless talk.

Politics has no boundary... infact political interest has no boundary.

Just say youve never played politics simple

I’m too old fashioned to partake in ANY challenge

I’ve learnt tey tey not to give two bleeps about these sorta things

Guy I’m an atheist so forget the doomsday talk BUT don’t ignore the new world order as it develops

Freestainworld:
Trump is now a Saint, they should just name him Saint something, so he can be worshipped.

People will do anything for CLOUT

If you think this is real then I’ve got an airport in Ikeja to sell to you

Ekealterego:
It is clearly a fight of the globalist vs the nationalist.

I see the pattern here, Trump was fighting a war against the globalist world order which requires a globalist conformism to a world government to control the affairs of the world.

Look at the reversed policies... If you know, you know.
(Well, the travel ban na to my advantage, globalist or nationalist make I enter Yankee again go see something)

I look at France and laugh whenever i see people "think" muslims especially arabs are even remotely hospitable creatures.

na their luck sha

DJ Switch is just a failed artiste loosing relevance as even the Endsars ish is almost forgotten

A friend almost died after docs kept treating him for malaria rather than covid

Once the virus progresses to the lungs it becomes akin to a death sentence ...

My guy if you get malaria symptoms go get tested for covid first before even malaria

Samunique:

Lol you make me laugh Abeg

You know. Deals wey we (youths) dey run for legal enterprises?

post=98208415:
If only reasonable, sane, honest, good and hardworking Nigerian youths can come together to continue the works being done all over the nation now.

And leave the corrupt fraudsters and petty thieves that supported looting and lived on corrupt money for 16 years.

When reasonable and good Nigerians come together,
There is nothing we cannot achieve.

Nigeria will be great again.....in our lifetime.

God bless Nigeria.

Their licenses could have been suspended for 6 months and made to pay a fine of like 20-40% of the cars open market value within a month or risk loosing the car

Outright forfeiture is draconian

oluwaseyi0:
Auctioning people's car is no fair

The should be given fine and allowed to get back their car

The politicians and government officials are the one buying the cars at ridiculous prices

People who lost their cars at last auction were actually crying at the auction ground

Guerrilla warfare is different

It’s like Fraternity life ... the next man fit be your enemy and you no go know.

aycorporat:
When will this stop or why is it taking eternity to end this insurgency?

Nigerian troops have been to Mali, Somalia, Liberia, Sierra Leone etc and they performed well.

What is it with the rag tag insurgents disturbing the Nigerian peace? Haba!

The Light up Lagos Ambode did what was the outcome?

None works in my area again

Vandals kept targeting them !

Also sexist .

femi4:

Self defence is different from what i saw in those pics... those were VICIOUS ATTACK WOUNDS.. short and simple.

NextD18:
The level of hatred people have for him as a rich man's son will increase while he'll keep balling and showing off to oppress and frustrate his haters.

I will never beef a rich man's child. But i will beef NEGATIVE influencers.

Davido is free to enjoy his cult related activities without "beaming them on social media" influencing youngsters to join these cults.

How many of dem get Davido security detail? papa money and influence to cover cases that may arise?

How notable brands can even give a KNOWN CULTIST endorsements worries me.

BAD INFLUENCE breeds criminality.

Better meat don land for prison officials
