I wonder the kind of pvssy God is giving to all these kids these days that is making oldies prick to enter without hindrance

You’re disgusting!

Skepticus:
This is unfortunate

May all our life achievements not burnt into shreds in one day.

Why should it? Are Nigerian schools so primitive as not to keep records?
Certificates are merely documental evidence of your record (or achievements).

This submission is a case study of the WASTAGE that goes on in the Nigerian public sector...
Justices go to international conferences with their spouses and both are paid estacode in dollars? Why?!

Time to get rid of this so-called “estacode”, which is an anachronism of British colonial era civil service. In most civilized
/advanced countries, when you travel on official business you simply submit your bills and all REASONABLE expenses are refunded. Meanwhile, in Nigeria, between official house, official car, servants, free newspapers, estacode, travel allowance, etc., we waste all of our revenue on sustaining less than 0.5% of our population in government, while the other 99.5% of the population has to make do with a minuscule budgetary amount left over for capital investment in physical and social infrastructure (roads, schools, hospitals, etc.).

Since this akubundu took over she has been owing contractors for 3yrs - while the FG has released nothing less than 500m to the office, - she would come only when the fG release overhead expenditure funds like today - or if she hears they have release capital expenditure funds- she would bring all manners of vouchers and receipts for retirement of her "so-called" courtesy visits- (because she has the sgf in her pocket- if you report the matter, it would be thrown out, or they would quickly call her to attended to the matter- the man never see fine girl before) and bring all the umu ada's of her village and say she is doing a special program - steal all the money and go away again - she has stolen the office into redundancy and oblivion, she initially came with a routine of illegal staff to see if she could use them to siphon money - quote me anywhere the staff expenses have also been stolen- a staff was supposed to go for appendicitis operation the office was supposed to support the staff with N100k - she collected the money put receipt in the staff file and the poor man is walking around in pain

Who NEPAD ‘epp?
Time to get rid of all these multiple MDAs that we only hear about at budget time! SMH

PEBEC Awards? Okay o...
One connected events organizer is laughing all the way to the bank.

Are you sure he has money in his account?

Aidejay:
All of u posting comments here let us appreciate good things haba!
See this one shouting education education education
What has education done to Nigeria d educated seff are the most dependent but enter north a small boy is already walking around on his own (I'm not saying it's a good thing) but dis people don't support dependency like the southern people who at their mature ages cannot do anything let us face not deceive ourselves unless Education is free and compulsory nothing will happen these people know what they need and they go for it nothing stops them they are built like that and Re very dangerous due to this trait but una educated people wey no fit build or manufacture anything with all your years of exposure to education

And who do you think invented solar panels or built this factory? Uneducated people? SMDH

Koolking:
This is was a state ravaged by Boko Haram insurgence for years. The govt of the statement is rebuilding world class infrastructure. See below world view primary and secondary school buildings.

My Southern and Eastern brothers have been radicalized into penury considering the huge monthly allocation and oil derivations to the region. Yet the region is just a big village. Clutching on to monster leaders who serve the people crumbs

Bros, those schools are being built by international donors and the Northeast Fund (under Danjuma) raised by Nigerian donors...
Good schools, but that is only hardware (and the relatively easier part), the software (good teachers/staff) are the MOST IMPORTANT part.

seunfly:
Honestly I admire northern governors in every aspect except education sector. Our leaders down south will only blame one northerner, religion or political party for their failures yet we the so called educated followers will keep on voting for failure because we hate the people in other party.

BROS, EDUCATION IS THE FOUNDATION (AND LIES AT THE VERY CORE) OF ALL DEVELOPMENT!

It’s relatively easy to buy factories (or even sign contracts for roads), especially if you are using someone’s money, but ultimately those factories will have to be operated and maintained by an educated or skilled workforce - or what usually happens to most Nigerian government projects will happen to them. Those Ganduje flyovers/roads that you admire will not be maintained by the army of uneducated Almajiri kids roaming the streets begging bowls in hand. Sadly, it seems that many Nigerians misunderstand the very basic concept of development.

Not asx licking.....
But while you're abusing them, their fortunes is increasing

Without prejudice to Tinubu...
Financial success is not all there is to life. After all, many drug dealers, fraudsters and thieves are financially successful.

To all the cultists..We need u guys now. Stop killing each other and face your real enemy. Nigerian SARS is your real enemy. SARS is not as invisible as u think.. They are humans like us,they have a family they are afraid to loose, they will beg for their life when tortured. Since their Oga and Federal government is so corrupt and deaf to our cry, let's start taking them out one after d other.. They can easily be tracked home, and slaughtered in cold blood, just as they do to innocent Nigerians. Don't wait for d next victim to die for nothing.

So you label cultists as MURDERERS “killing each other” but you want these same murderers to lead a revolution? Nigeria is finished!

Olanipekun1:
tiwa savage is an irresponsible bish

that's why responsible guys finds it hard to hook up or marry all these celebrities or celebrity wannabes
they are never ready to settle down
will dish you any time

And Teebillz with how many baby mamas is the so-called “responsible” guy? Nigerian men and misogyny... smh

ArchAngelos999:
I don't support the atrocities of SARS but this isn't a solution. It will lead to a worse problem.

Before only white people used to be kidnapped in Nigeria, when Nigerians condoned it cos they felt white people were cheating the country. Fast forward to 2019, Nigerians are bearing the brunt of kidnappers in almost every state.

There's a way to fight evil

Abegi speak for yourself.

No intelligent Nigerian ever condoned the criminality of kidnapping anyone...
And most understood that it was the politicians/rulers cheating us, not the people generating the little wealth we have.

Abegi look at the big belly of Nigerian policemen...
That’s probably why they shoot people because they cannot chase after suspects.

How come all these women have their claws out for the gorgeous Tiwa in this so-called challenge? Are they really that jealous of her high-profile and success or simply insecure? Hmmm...

Nigeria Police, forever chasing shadows instead of substance...

The NPF has told you what they are looking for. Once you understand that none of the people bitching online will stand with you when it comes down to it, then you do the needful. When the words were out that some people are stealing female pants, most went on the defensive to protect themselves. Forewarned is forearmed. Words are our now that NPF are looking for losers with tattoos and dreads, why can't people take precautionary measures not to become easy targets?

Moving on, I see the way Nigerian girls dress because they watch too much of American movies. If you dress like that walking down the street, you will definitely get cat calls from men, some will honk at you and the police may harass you for possible prostitution. Yep! And I live in California where it is supposed to be going down.

Just give the police nails and hammer to be nailing these folks to the cross.

Surprised you have not elected to relocate to Saudi Arabia...

DimIsaac10:
All diz people above me don't have dreadlocks and make any tattoos...
Yet, they are supporting nonsense..
How una go feel if Buhari has tattoo and dreadlocks?.

His policies will likely still suck...
But perhaps many would admire his courage to shake the norm.

InvertedHammer:
/.
From the dreaded Yakuza in Japan, Triad in China, Cosa Nostra in Italy, Crips and Blood of Los Angeles, Mexican MS-13 and other notable criminal organizations in the world, tattoos feature prominently in their identification.

Police works involve profiling criminals. They are not magicians. The word is out that the police is out for those with tattoos and dreads. You can be smart and dress responsibly or listen to wailers online and end up 6ft under. You may not be a criminal but you have chosen to dress and appear as one. Like they say, impression matters. The only thing we can do for you then is tweet #EndSARS for about three days and life goes on. The choice is yours.

Tattoos also feature prominently in others’ identity.
Have you perchance heard of Uli among the Ibos?

PS: And how exactly do criminals “dress and appear”?

Adakintroy:
This celebrities should just keep quiet for once. We get the point. He may struggle with the right context to define it but we get it.

Although not by way of generality, one can establish by observation that dread and tattoo carrying boys or girls display higher level of delequent acts.

No child with decent home tranning engage in this. Hence we can say it's not part of our culture (total way of life of a particular people).

Most of those Agberos/touts under the bridge neither have dreadlocks nor tattoos....
And relatively confident you will neither see tattoos/dreadlocks on Boko Haram or Herdsmen.

anochuko01:
and whats my business if you're a cultist?
have you seen a diplomat in dreads or flaunting tatoo?
And how does that your life story change the fact that a person in dreads and tatoo would most likely be a gangstar?

Let omotola show me her tatoo and that of her kids and husband too

The former US Ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders wore/wears her hair in locks...

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Culture na somehow overrated,,complex and complicated topic...
We are in a dynamic world.. Wat u may see as ur way of life yesterday
might be discarded today for another way of life... Today's culture might be rendered invalid by tomorrow's own,,, and by next tomorrow we might even revert back to yesterday's culture.
E dey fluctuate..

But we must advocate for an equilibrium point between extreme conservatism and unchecked liberalism in order to protect our society from anarchy. It's all about finding the right balance!

Las Las Oga police calm down... Omotola should also chill....

Agree! Culture has NEVER been static...

Rather, culture is always EVOLVING (one reason why we don’t throw away twins these days in some parts of the country). Nonetheless, dreadlocks and tattoos (from Uli to henna) have virtually always been in our culture.

henrixx:
Honestly I hate seeing a young person on that rubbish dreadlocks. Or tattoo. Especially that devilish dreadlock.

What’s “devilish” about hair in its most NATURAL state?

Personally still do not get the attraction in covering one’s body with tattoos (and wonder if these people that it would not be a pretty sight when they eventually get old and wrinkly), but I am also tolerant enough to respect (and humble enough not to arrogate to myself the arbiter of) other people’s personal tastes and preferences (so long it hurts no-one else). What we wear or put on our bodies (including tattoos) and/or how we wear our hair (including dreadlocks) are merely an expression of our individuality, and it is variety and diversity in human tastes and preferences that not only makes life interesting but which also often leads to the continuous recreation/rethinking of the world we live in.

Live and let live people!

Hintona:
Is SARS part of our culture?

Is armed robbery and cultism part of our culture?

Personally horrified by the extrajudicial killings/rights abuses (and the drivel about dreadlocks and tattoos)...
But let’s be honest about our society rather than bury our heads in the sand and act as if SARS was not a reaction.

Leaders of tomorrow...

CanadaOrBust:
Oderly-room what?!
They should be charged to court fo manslaughter

They are going to do BOTH...
Orderly room is a force disciplinary hearing, which should result in their dismissal, before they are arraigned in regular court.

StoneLucifer:
A team of Swedish heart surgeons performed d surgeries. UNTH was only a ground where the surgeries took place...

Not true! Prof Martin Aghaji led many open-heart surgeries at UNTH.
