I think they won't do anything to Orji Uzo Kalu while Hope Uzodinmma is still a governor. The supreme court has refused to revisit Hope's case, citing that it can't counter judge itself. I guess they will hold on that, if they do otherwirse, then people will start agitating they revisit Hope's case.

The Supreme Court does not need to “revisit” the Orji Kalu case…
The Court has already ruled that Kalu should’ve had a new trial - and looks like he’ll get it!

Fight for your business but don't fight against the igbomans aspirations!

Anybody that's in doubt about the igbo man's resolve on the issue of separation in Nigeria must have gotten a SERIOUS hint with the complete obedience to the numerous stay at home orders! We no do again!
If over ambitious capitalists haven't gotten the memo yet, they should blame themselves for that...

To make nigeria one. At whose expense and whose gain if I may ask?

At the expensive of the survival and self-determination of the Easterners?

Mr Onyema, the dreams and aspiration of the Biafran people is greater than all the wealth (stipend) your generation can ever acquire under the aegis of "One nigeria".

The nigerian contraption is asphyxiating our people and we have tried our best to make it work, sang "one nigerian' lullabies for donkey years, prayed for nigeria in our catholic churches for eons. IT HAS REFUSED TO WORK, BUT KEEPS DETERIORATING EVERYDAY. Wickedness, evil, injustice and darkness reigns over the axis called 'One Nigeria".

One nigeria is clearly no longer feasible, only peaceful dissolution will save every life, violent dissolution will save more lives than it will take, but 'One nigeria" WILL SAVE NO LIFE.

Allen onyema, stop wasting your time, Biafra will bulldoze it way to freedom and self-determination, if that is the only option left to it. We have no problem with anyone, we just want to run our land, administer our God-given resources like fulanis are doing with their Gold in Zamfara and lead ourselves without external influences like quota system etc. Is that too much to ask? If anyone has sworn that he would die rather see this happen, then his grave is already waiting for him.

Imagine if there was no such evidence, they would have already dismissed it (as is usually the case in Nigeria).

Baba Ijesha never had sex with the girl at any time- actor Yomi Fabiyi

https://www.instagram.com/p/CQNkiu7tBKB/?utm_medium=copy_link

In a post shared on his IG page after the arraignment of Baba Ijesha on Wednesday June 16, Yomi continued to call for the prosecution of the adults who staged the recapturing of the actor allegedly defiling the 14 year old foster daughter of Princess

Watch video here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj1zFtPhmIk

"The POLICE are so honest in this case that they filed the case of Baba ljesha to a MAGISTRATE COURT with Sexual Assault charges only. At least, it is the Police that did investigation.
The Police took a stand that they cannot charge the suspect with a crime they have no evidence especially when the girl said repeatedly BABA IJESHA never had sex with her. Baba ljesha NEVER had sex with the girl at an time." - Yomi Fabiyi

.. ND THE ONE THAT GAVE A BJ ON LIVE TV IS FLYING UPADAN GETTING ENDORSEMENT DEALS HIA AND DIA..... BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NOTHING GOOD PAYS IN NIGERIA MORE THAN EVIL.... AND THAT EXPLAINS WHY KIDNAPPERS ARE RICHER THAN SECURITY PERSONNEL, ILLITERATES ARE RICHER THAN EDUCATED PEOPLE, PEOPLE ARE PUSH HARD DRUGS ARE RICHER THAN CONFORMED MEDICAL DOCTORS AND SO ON AND SO 4RT

First, money is apparently the highest value in life to you…
And you apparently equate worth (and probably your self-worth) with money.

Nonetheless, why shouldn’t an “illiterate” like Razak Okoya, the son of a poor tailor who worked his tail off and pulled himself up by his bootstraps be richer than “educated” lazy professors always on strikes and engaging in sex-for-grade harassment of students young enough to be their daughters? Why shouldn’t a poor “illiterate” elementary school dropout and orphan like Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis) who worked against all odds to become a billionaire (and eventually go do an EMP at Harvard) not be richer than some self-entitled “educated” Nairalander who spends all of his time wailing instead of working? Sadly, it’s this mentality that underlies the certificate-chasing culture (which btw is distinct from education, because education is not confined to classrooms and certifications) of Nigerians.

Oh, that is simple. Resources go to where interests lie. If little or nothing goes to rewarding educational dexterity and enterprise it clearly speaks volumes.

That is why we may excel in entertainment and the arts but cannot solve simple national challenges that affect all things and all people.

Societies that have even greater degrees of success in the things we boast about still find it in themselves to value education and celebrate performances there.

Btw, Nigerians actually channel massive amounts of “resources” to education…

Apart from the myriad PRIVATE Nigerians and Nigerian organizations that have set up scores of educational institutions, tens of thousands of Nigerians channel hard-earned “resources” to schools and universities every year. Unfortunately, most of it is wasted on PUBLIC institutions and universities that are largely CRAP - and while funding is part of the problem of public institutions, it is hardly the greatest problem. Rather issues like mediocrity, federal character, quota system, corruption, sex-for-grades, grades-for-printouts, incompetence, intermittent strikes, etc., all play significant roles. It’s no coincidence that PRIVATE institutions in Nigeria at every level are easily some of the very BEST. PRIVATE enterprise recognizes one reality - deliver or die. PUBLIC institutions are simply glued to the Treasury’s tit!

So how does that differ in SUBSTANCE from my initial point (admittedly made tongue-in-cheek) that perhaps folks like them spent millions of Naira watching/voting on UNN exams, the students will get BBN-type rewards/recognition?

PRIVATE “resources” in those societies that have “even greater degrees of success” in practically EVERYTHING (including education) go to investments where it can derive a return - just as BBN did (and most PRIVATE Nigerian schools and universities are doing). Meanwhile, Nigeria excels in entertainment, arts and the creative industries primarily because these are about the only areas in Nigeria NOT driven, dominated or more precisely contaminated by the government and/or governmental involvement. These areas are almost entirely PRIVATELY-driven in Nigeria, and that alone should be a succinct lesson of the efficacy and utility of PRIVATE enterprise.

Nonetheless, your response betrays the real underlying issue that you folks have with BBN. When you use (or misuse) phrases like “values” what you (and I suspect the rest) are actually referring to is morality (more precisely, your own PERSONAL senses of morality, which apparently you desire to impose on the rest of society). That’s why instead of focusing on the VALUES of private enterprise creating content and generating JOBS and tax revenues (which of course the government can channel into education), you are instead deriding and denigrating “entertainment”, even though it probably ranks as one of the biggest employers of Nigerian youth!

So many low hanging fruits, that selected governor can start dealing with, before embarking on white elephant projects (a stylish method of stealing funds).....

You don't start killing rats in your house, whilst the house is on fire..........

You seem to have too much time on your hands, use this time to start thinking of making money.....

I am doing likewise......

Lagos is smelling like a leaked sewage tank, people are no longer safe on the roads etc etc.....

He is busy doing his Godfathers bidding.......

And yet so many other Nigerians “vote” with their feet and wallet by emigrating to Lagos…

Meanwhile, if you really think that roads are “white elephant projects”, then it’s easy to see your confusion.

PlayerMeji:
That you don't understand my point proves the failure in our educational system.

From my little write up, what I implied was simply how do WE compete with these countries when WE can only give these stipends to best graduating students... Even if these cash prizes were increased to 1.5 million naira, it is still far below what serious countries do for their citizens...

The failure of the educational system is NOT because students are not being paid for getting good grades…
Worse than having a problem is its MISDIAGNOSIS, because then you will end up applying the WRONG treatment.

Meanwhile, Nigeria actually rewards top students with OVERSEAS scholarships up to PHD level, and many states give automatic employment to first-class and other top graduating students. Education should be a means to an end, and not the end of itself!

Reference:
Let me step in here and try to adjudicate. What they all refer to when using BBN as a lightning rod is the entire value system and it involves the entire society, not BBN alone.

Note that when comparing our value system with that of Europe or England where the EPL is represents huge commercial interests. They still recognize the value of life sciences, technology and the academia.

And while the remuneration gaps are equally huge, they certainly donot look down on these key sectors. It is poignant to note the difference between this regards in England and Nigeria during the Covid lockdown when times without number doctors, nurses and other health professionals were given monumental accolades in private and public for the great job done.

While here in Nigeria they were derided as scammers, liars, sensationalists, etc, cheated by the government and put down by all society.

It is about our value system which in Nigeria is hopelessly base. It is not simply about who pays what or who funds what or who owns what. We just donot have it in mind to understand the right thing.

Btw, just for the record….
I do NOT personally watch BBN, but have absolutely nothing against it.

Nonetheless, please explain to the rest of us what exactly is “base” about a value system that basically rewarded PRIVATE enterprise that created a LEGAL product that was apparently enjoyed by MILLIONS of people (who were actually willing to pay for it) both inside and outside Nigeria? Is it the JOBS created for the wide range of Nigerians involved - content creators, producers, architects, builders, designers, marketers, advertisers, suppliers, artisans, technicians, security, administrative personnel, etc.? Is it the livelihoods sustained by these jobs or is it the tax revenue that accrued to the government from income and corporate taxes and other charges and/or licenses?

A great thing about the human experience is VARIETY and diversity. Not everyone is going to be lawyer, engineer, doctor, healthcare or other professional or a scientist or teacher or (increasingly in Nigeria) a bible-thumping pastor. LET A MILLION FLOWERS BLOOM!!
