This is so DUMB...
All states can a N30K minimum wage if they cut the Governor’s entourage, aides, free Government House food, Abuja governor’s lodge, etc.

Furthermore, these illiterate legislators should quit equating a minimum wage with a uniform wage...
Each state is free to negotiate with NLC regarding wages, so long as it is NOT below the minimum wage (that has been set as a FLOOR).

>
So, is the government giving N10 million to the surviving families of ALL citizens?

The sentiment might be in the right place...
But to be brutally honest this is ALL KINDS OF WRONG!

We should quit this governance-by-donation BS.
Instead, there should be institutional processes to deal with these matters

First, would this happen if he was in a different party?
Further, a House member should have some sort of insurance or death benefits.

RIP!

It's either you're being used or her bedroom offers windows of miseries or opportunities.

Comments like these are an unfortunate epitome that sexual harassment by MALES in the workplace is so prevalent and common in Nigeria, and has become so normalized to the point to the extent that many people no longer even notice that it is happening. SMDH

What you’re asking for is quite complicated, not celebrating first class too much is something I quite agree to an extent but as for the young man getting his first class. What else can he do? It is a good thing for him to achieve and probably the only tangible goal in site.

Meanwhile as for the mark Zuckerberg of Africa generation, please forget it, Africa as a continent has not its environment to discover it entrepreneurs. Is it with our corrupt practices and gross mismanagement we want to promote industry to the world. Or do you think USA didn’t have a hand in help most of their big industry to the world?

It is not about the entrepreneurs now in Nigeria, it is about having a thriving environment which is almost not visible right now in Nigeria.

The US government did not “discover” nor fund Zuckerberg or other successful entrepreneurs...
Ordinary PRIVATE individuals (either through VCs, equity funds, etc.) provided the capital and took the risks.

HellVictorinho:
What is the function of the goddamn government?
If they can't create enough jobs with all the power and resources,then the economy is doomed.
Period.

Government does NOT “create jobs” in advanced nations, the PRIVATE sector does...
Government’s role should be limited to good policies and staying out of the way (the so-called “enabling environment”).

I weak. Your write up nail it.

When i got my admission then, into a Nigeria university. I was an architect of all craziness.
Thought it was going to be a competitive environment, It's was a race then, for all my mate, I want First Class x3 here and there. (I had to channel my craziness to a better project, that will enhance my life).

With all the first class, I'm yet to see the usefulness of it. One of them now(My mate that criticized me of my academy performance) using the same brain to Sell iTune card online on Whatsapp.

When i was learning programming language (OOP, Java) around 2011 then. They thought, i was not serious. Even my own father kick against it. He was like, this things make no sense, Goto school or learn a major skills.

In my mind, I was like its my life. I was crazy enough during those era. (He called me and told me, I have earned enough and i wouldn't need your money, Good luck with your life)

I felt so down but too stubborn. Even if i greet him then, He wouldn't replied. The house tired me. But for God so good, After a year of dedication, i got to work with Google (Google Trade) via Matomy Media (Israel) and (India). (For me to print and sign the Insertion Order agreement cost 6k, Nobody to turn to but my mom and God. My dad make sure to block it but still the woman tried her best and still gave me. He said, i was going to use the money to buy cloth hahahah)

To cut it short, Money was coming, the same man later asked people to beg me. I never kick you out, You kick me out first because i was doing what most youth at that Era then wouldnt withstand. Instead of chasing after girls. (Now we are best pal hahahah, Father and Son) He will belike what is trending.....

Writing program with Nokia Java Phone and Text Book. Life just no balance. Now i'm a blockchain developer and vast in most programming language to Kotlin.

What am trying to say is that "Having First Class doesn't mean you nail it all, Work o, My brother work! Else you will be taking command from those who had 3rd class, Then you will know First class doesnt mean you have it all."

Dude, mostly first-class graduates of MIT, Cal-Tech, etc., built those platforms...
Entrepreneurship has its place, but it needs a smart well-educated workforce to bear fruition.

JosephXavier:
Seriously bro

But why I'm complaining is that I'm planning on traveling there for my Master's degree next year but the fee is so high

Imagine 15k pounds for fees alone

It’s even more expensive in the US...
There’s a reason US graduates (except from rich families) average six figures in educational debt.

For example, when Nigerian doctors emigrate to the US, they are often unappreciative of the benefit of cheap/free education in Nigeria...
Yet their colleagues who studied in the US each would gave graduated with an average of about $250,000+ of educational debt from Day One.

Anyway, while education may be expensive, ignorance is even moreso.

Ermmmm, Bbbwings, if you consider her view stupid, you should share your wise standpoint with us - you don't cancel someone's comment without sharing a much more superior argument. People like you shame me.

Sorry, but her point was dumb...
Are the people advancing developed nations sons of politicians?

And @Bbbwings was definitely correct in canceling that LOW SELF-ESTEEM drivel about “white babes”!

While I was doing my doctorate at Leeds university,I noticed Nigerians always make first class, while the white kids just wanted a result.

That is why all our politicians kids studying abroad cannot make an impact on society with their expensive education. They will still come back to Nigeria to drag government work with ordinary folks

This stupid Nigerian man thinks white babes will flock around him if he was a first class product, but the white Chicks don't care about first class

What they wanted was a man with chuzpah and daring, risk taker, a solution finder. That is why I am strongly against these idea of celebrating first class.

What is the need of buying something you will never use, what is the need of acquiring expensive education when you will still end up as a POS terminal operator.

All your focus is just to get a job, that is why job is scarce. 10million people are struggling for 1,000 jobs.

What separates you from the illiterate if you will still come back to work under an illiterate.

Graduate from India has turned Bangalore into a silicone valley, what have our graduates done?

Graduates from China are soaking up ideas from America to help their country. What have saraki son and all others brought home.

Instead they go there to learn how to abuse drugs and turn gwarrimpa to a drug addict town.

NYSC camp is supposed to be a breeding ground for Entrepreneurs not a place to have sex.

Remember printing recharge card, soap making, tailoring is not Entrepreneurship, many illiterate grandmother can do that, separate your self from the madness

For those dummkopf asking me what I have done?
ALOT

Ask Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala or Adebayo Ogunlesi...
Heck, go ask Funke Opeke here in Lagos, Nigeria!

Feel free to check out how many first-class and top graduates employed by the world’s top entrepreneurs...
It’s one thing to have a great idea and vision, but without INTELLECTUAL support, it will never come to fruition.

To discard or denigrate top-class education is frankly FUNCTIONAL ILLITERACY...
NO country (as in NONE) has ever developed without first achieving a critical mass of a a well-educated population.

Queenlovely:
you have said it like a typical African.

it is not just in Nigeria,

blacks are afraid of all the risk the whites take like mountain biking, scuba diving etc. they want to live forever. but have nothing to live for.

it is the same in Entrepreneurship, blacks are afraid of risk,

These ephemeral things have nothing to do with risk-taking...
There are many blacks who do the same things, and many more whites who do NOT.

For everyone who has ever climbed Mount Everest...
Their Sherpa guide has done it multiple times, yet the Sherpa are not better off.

If you fall off a mountain bike, you can dust yourself off...
So if you want real life-changing risks, move to Africa or the ghettos created in the West.

PS: Btw, FYI, there’s scuba diving in Abraka!

Please quit sounding so THIRSTY...
Life is not about attracting ‘babes’ or the opposite gender.

Furthermore, who cares about “white babes”?
Sounds like you have a LOW SELF-ESTEEM problem.

And it sounds like you are against “celebrating” first-class because you cannot achieve it...
Because, granted that theory and practice are disparate, the one distinguishing characteristic of success is EXCELLENCE!

Meanwhile, all that drivel about China and India, who do you think made them what they are?
Nigerians/Africans like you are too busy b*tching about challenges to notice they are actually OPPORTUNITIES.

Successful entrepreneurship is about resolving challenges...
So, if you are not going to be part of the solution at least do not constitute yourself into a NOISY nuisance.

I made a statement once at a symposium that Nigeria was the giant of Africa and somebody challenged me at Kenyatta university.

He said south Africa was the giant of Africa and he went ahead to give me 30 reasons why.

But I could not give 3 reason why I was brainwashed into thinking nigeria was the center of the earth .

Who caused the black race, let us go and apologize.

TheNoble007:
Sorry that you had to feel this way. Nigeria is just the giant of Africa in terms of population. That's all. The problem is, our teachers in primary and secondary schools didn't explain this to us.

You should have started by educating them how Nigeria contributed to a free South Africa...
It’s a shame that History is not taught (or properly taught) in Nigerian schools, leaving our generation un-anchored.

There’s a reason that Nigeria was the first place that Mandela sought exile when he was first declared wanted in the 1960s...
Hundreds of South Africans had Nigerian passports during Apartheid, because they are not issued with South African passports.

There’s a reason Nigeria presided over the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid for over 30 years...
Nigeria granted hundreds of scholarships to South African students, and people like Thambo Mbeki were based in Nigeria.

Nigeria funded liberation struggles not just in South Africa, but Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, etc.
Under the Southern African Relief Fund, every salaried Nigerian contributed a percentage towards the liberation struggles.

Nigeria kicked out Barclays, Standard Bank, BP, Esso (and Coca-Cola USA) for doing business with Apartheid SA...
Sold oil to African nations at DISCOUNT, and set up the Nigeria Trust Fund (AfDB) to give cheap credit to poor African nations.

I could go on and on...
But it is clear that our generation is GROSSLY UNINFORMED. Never ever be ashamed of being NIGERIAN!

BTW, I hope the Geography Teacher was not abusing the female student whom must have been a minor at the ss2 level

Crossed my mind, but nothing in the story suggests so.
Rather, it would appear that they met again in her adulthood.

Maxymilliano:
I guess the flogging aspect was part of the game to gets her attention, flogging a student for coming late to Geography class is absolutely unnecessary.

I am more worried at the prospect of someone who obviously believes (or believed) in corporal punishment not turning out to be a spouse abuser or wife-beater. Hopefully, he has evolved in the intervening years.

GOOD LUCK to them.

Personally, I don't care about samklef 'bruised ego' as you mentioned, do I even know him personally-NO, other than people mentioning about him been a producer or whatever; honestly I don't care about him. Please are you telling me because he made the post publicly he can't be corrected privately? Infact, correcting some people privately even mostly help in appealing to their sense of reasoning or do we have to be creating unnecessary enmity because we want to correct? However, are you terming that misogyny because of comment that was already trending and someone made a tweet of his own about it? Probably, Simi should have commented on others post that relate to that same issues then. Meanwhile I don't even care about the tweet, post, comment or whatever, I just feel she can do better abeg

Yes, if you make a misogynistic comment to a trending misogynistic subject, YOUR comment is still YOUR misogyny....

Tonnyray:
Sadly you're missing the point.
What was Simi's intention? For him to reassess the tweet and do the needful.
It could have been done in such a way as to avoid the unnecessary backlash. That's what maturity dictates. If I can achieve the same result without appearing to lessen the other person. We all make mistakes.

Hopefully, to let people know that it’s not OK...
Without public “rebuke” people will think these sorts of crude misogyny is OK.

Like the examples I used, where sometimes even police try to keep it “private”...
That’s why so many Nigerians still think rape and domestic violence should be settled privately.

another fool on the loose. During the age of my mother, the men then had balls to put women in their place and subdue their curse of always wanting to be naked.
By the way, what's special about my mother? Is she not just another woman? The men of this age are a bunch of balless disgrace that's why you see even married women walking on the road almost naked. I naturally hate children whether male or female I don't care.
Women have low self esteem and literally zero in confidence. They try to hide their shame with this even more shameful behaviour that's why you see them padding up every part of their body and trying to display the padded body parts. A specie with self esteem and confidence will never have to mould up its face with different layers of colours and make ups thereby easily passing for a mannequin.

Don't be moved by that cheap warning from him and his hungry lawyer. Wait till your rent expires on the last day in August. After the expiration, you're entitled to 6months grace, after the 6months elapses, you can take additional 3weeks. Never allow any mugu lawyer intimidate you because you don't know your right. I fought my landlord and his lawyer when they came for quit notice when my rent had not expired just because I told him that he (landlord) has not been paying his NEPA bill and when tents contribute their money for monthly NEPA Bill, he'll collect the money and eats it and when NEPA comes for disconnection, he'll give them #500-1000 for them not to be disconnected. I quoted the tenancy law to the lawyer and explained it to him.....He became dumbfounded. Bro google lagos Tenancy Law and read it just to know your right as a tenant. If you dey do liver cuttage, dem go chop you.

AFONJACOW:
The last landlord that did this to me I ended up living in his house for another 2 years without paying a dime, we ending it in court at the end they gave me another extra 6 months Making it 2 years and 6 months I live in his house for free , the money I saved from not paying house rent for 30 months I used it to complete my 4 rooms bungalow and invite him for the opening of my own house... Play the Ediot and his yellowbar charge and bail lawyer

OP, please do not follow these sorts of “advice” or you may well find yourself out on the streets...
There’s nowhere in the world, Nigeria or Lagos, where you are entitled to 6 months rent-free at the end of your lease term.
>

BluntTheApostle:
Some landlords just like to put everything in writing.

Otherwise, it is not necessary to serve quit notice to a tenant whose tenancy is still active.

What the landlord is trying to communicate to you is that "When your rent is due, I will not be taking another rent from you. You will have to leave my house because I want to make use of it for other purposes".

The reason why some landlords like to give all these unnecessary quit notices is because of some stubborn tenants who would pretend like they didn't know that the landlord had told them that he wanted to reconvert his house.

So, that is why landlords always like to put everything in writing because they are easy to prove in court.

If you are not comfortable with the quit notice, ask to speak with the lawyer who served you. You might make a discreet recording during your meeting with him.

Also, keep the receipt of your rent safe and available.

So that they don't force you to cough out money at the end of the supposed quit notice.

It is necessary to serve notice...
Lagos State tenancy law mandates it.
