Whether she has done it severally or not is not the bone of contention sir, but the Head of Department unduly and shamefully taking advantage of his position should bother u. she might have earlier succumb to pressure and I don't think going to a lecturer for missing a test is a crime, maybe it is in this part of the world. She could be ur sister or relative.

Think about other innocent ladies too.

What are you ranting about? There are innocent ladies just as there are corrupt ladies. I said the lecturer is guilty based on the prima-facie evidence but the girl's innocence or guilt is conditional.

If she 'gave' the first time and 'received' what she wanted, why should we not assume she went there this time to receive through short cut again? I said assume until those clarifications are made.

No need getting emotional about it

There are two areas that need clarification before one can pass judgement on the girl. The lecturer is guilty based on prima-facie evidence.

1. At the beginning of the clip, the lecturer made reference to their first time together and said it wasn't hard for the lady to give him that time. If the girl had actually 'given' before (for marks I presumed), then she is not innocent.

2. Before the audio cut off, the lecturer was insisting on checking inside her pants to verify that she was actually having her period. Did she allow that? If yes, then she went too far in her 'undercover operation' and may count against her. It means she didn't succumb because of her menses not for any moral crusade.

In the statement made by the Minister, he said even though 180 is the minimum mark, each university/poly is free to screen its candidates for admission but he was silent on the mode of screening. I am sure there are more qualified candidates (based on the cut off) than the schools can admit.

At least the PUME will be more objective than the carte blanche given to these schools by the FG.

Was it not the same JAMB that allegedly dashed some candidates 50 marks the other time that we are now relying on?

The convener of the confab himself (GEJ) knew he couldn't implement it alone and he passed it on to the National Assembly. The report is already officially with the legislature, why have they not converted it to laws and let see Buhari veto it?

He decided to use medicres and novices with below average Cvs just out of sentiments. I am just wondering why he is complaining now. Pls this government should give the right people the chance they well deserved. I pray we don't head into full recession. God almighty help us.

Those that have above average cvs, where did they lead us? In a calm sea, every ship have good captains. With oil selling at over $100 for consecutive five years, what have they shown for it apart from profligacy. Oil price fell and within six months, naira was officially devalued twice to 197/$1. We borrowed to pay salary in the last five months of the previous administration.

Buhari has challenged the economists, show us what we stand to benefit from devaluation? With the unofficial depreciation of naira, we are already complaining of hardship. Will devaluation significantly increase the quantum of our forex earnings?

The made their bet that the value of oil will keep going up but the bet went south when oil prices crashed now they went Nigeria to bail them out by devaluing the currency. 99% of stocks on Nigeria Stock Exchange are owned by Nigerians so exposure to foreigner selling is non existence. The drum beat you are hearing for devaluation is because some people are holding certificate of bonds that are ready to mature and will be worthless panic set in. Once summer get here most analyst expects the price of oil to hit $60 - $70 that will help with the budget and gives the CBN more flexibility.

By January 2015, nigerian economy was already taking the hit from the fall in oil price and by Iweala's admission, we were already borrowing to pay salaries.

Lol.
A refund of your very high school fees might be in order then, because you have failed to comprehend my simple point.

First, who sponsored the bill ?
Secondly, Why would a President of a secular , multi religious, multi ethnic nation like Nigeria be deafeningly Silent on a proposed Constitutional amendment dealing with the contentious issue of Sharia law ?

Dogara's religious belief is immaterial to my query.

Why are you tenaciously holding on to the wrong end of the rope? The guy and some knowledgeable posters up there have lectured you on process of constitutional amendments.

If you wake up today and send a proposed amendment to the constitution to the National Assembly that any poster on nairaland should be paid by government, the house cannot debate or reject it, it will be passed to an adhoc committee on constitution amendments which will filter through all garbage received in the name of proposals and recommend what it consider reasonable proposals to the house as a bill. It is then that the whole legislative process of passing a bill will start including public hearing. The senate will also do its own passing, then at least 24 states house of assembly. That is what Dogara was explaining about the difference between a bill to amend the constitution and ordinary bill.

Why do you expect the president to comment or take side on a mere proposal? There are supporters as there are opponents for such proposal you know.

If that proposal ever scale through as recommendation from the adhoc committee, gets 2/3rd majority of the senate and the house, 2/3rd majority of 24 out of 36 states in Nigeria to become part of our constitution, then it is the will of vast majority of Nigeria and neither your opinion nor that of the president on it will matter any longer.

By the way, do you doubt which way the houses of assembly of 12 states in the SE and SS will vote?

And if you must know economists like to use the aviation industry to gauge the health of any economy as people and goods movement is directly related to economic growth.

Why is the load factor decreasing? Answer is simply that Nigerians are not flying. And why are Nigerians not flying anymore? Because the economy is sh1t.

BTW, he is getting CBN forex for his Congo cement factory, does that sound like it's ok to you?

I still maintain, fixing that road is his responsibility!!

@ bolded. Dangote annual TURNOVER is not yet up to a trillion naira talkless profit. Providing water, local roads, or school for the environs where his factories are, is understandable CSR but constructing interstates trunk A national road? Mba.

I don't know why Nigerians always go gaga once indigenous company is mentioned. It is the duty of government to provide infrastructure as incentive for industrial development. Like one poster up there said, let his trucks even uproot the roads, it is government duty to put it back in order.

How many roads have government forced the depot owners to reconstruct just because their tankers passed on them? If Dangote had not put up the cement factories in Nigeria, we would have been importing. Will the cement be flown into hinterland from the ports?

What government has done now is to collect at least 30% of tax for many years in advance from Dangote on the future profits that he has not yet made.

If he had got pioneer status like all these foreign telecoms companies that came to Nigeria, he would have been entitled to tax-free profit for at least 4 years. Nobody shouted about MTN, Etisalat and even Glo when they got that.

Either the house is not taking a holistic approach to the root causes of fuel subsidy removal or she has been warned to stay mute so that Kachukwu will carry the weight alone.
This administration is fantastically complicated.

Iweala spearheaded the 2012 campaign because she was Coordinating Minister of Economy not necessarily as Minister of Finance. She had an overall view of the economy unlike the stripped-down ministry of finance that we have now. She was backed up then by Sanusi and to some extent Diezani.

This time, Osinbajo is a sort of CME and he has released statement to justify the withdrawal. Kachikwu knows more about the technicalities and it will help the government to just let him be the lead-vocal for now.

Why did Thisday serve only a teaser which may make the Minister look bad?

This had been club-rumour for the almost two months now. According to grapevine, Ebboh convinced the minister that he had identified the 'unremited funds' and the banks involved, on which basis the AGF gave him an authority letter to get the bank to cooperate with him and remit the funds on which he will earn commission. It turned out that Ebboh had not discovered the fund but wanted to use the authority letter to browbeat the banks to open their books to him which made the bank complained to the AGF and he revoked the authority.

It appears this Ebboh just like controversy. The same thing he did with Balyesa government and efcc when the governor revoked his contract to 'recover' Alamesighia loot, he alleged that Lamorde embezzled trillions of naira.

The two persons were not in those positions under Obj but under Yar'adua/GEJ regimes.
