Ibime: "Inflation slowed" is a more appropriate term to use so ignoramuses can understand what the minister is saying.

A basket of goods and services starting at N100 would ordinarily rise to N112 over the year based on last year's rates, but it only rose to N110 this year, therefore inflation has dropped from 12 to 10 percent.

thanks for that clarification. However the question is whether the rate of inflation is too high or not?

kavey10: Kai! My people see intellectual topic dem run comot! If na that Seun babe nau, you go see traffic sharpaly. I dey corner dey watch una sha.

nigerians prefer spending their time discussing about movie actresses than discussing the economy. Also going through the thread, it's clear that most nigerians don't even understand the meaning of a drop in inflation. They misinterpreted it to mean a fall in prices.the truth is that every country on earth experiences inflation and many economists consider inflation as good for the economy provided that the rate is low.

superior1: And do you know there is acute shortage of PhD holders in the academia, some Uni have aspiring PhD holders as HOD, how many Poly and COED has a single PhD holder in her fold . We are talking of PhD here, the pinnacle of academic qualification . No, I doubt seriously the statement credited to that woman and the so-called PhD holders should be thoroughly investigated, maybe they got theirs from those illegal Universities.

how many uni are recruiting? Getting the cert is one thing but getting recruited is another thing. In my alma mater (UNN) the department usually recruits not more than 2 or 3 grad assistants a year with only a bachelors. These are usually first class degree holders or similar. They are then groomed and get their masters/phd either within nigeria but commonly outside nigeria. The fellows that register for masters and phd due to unemployment remain mostly unemployed even after acquiring the certificates. Even in the usa, phds are suffering from unemployment.

This article is not much different from what pm times said about the womans employment statues so what is special about it besides why is it not on a national daily newspaper. If the CBN are sure of themselves let them sue PM times and we will take them serious. As far i'm concerned, he is messing with another mans wife at public expense.

An igbo proverb says that " onye gbaru nkiti, kwere ekwe" both the man and woman were contacted before this story was published and their refusal to either deny or accept the accusations is enough evidence against them, besides every nigerian knows that banking officials are mostly womanizers and whores.The whole thing looks like the handiwork of israeli detectives.

holyvirgin: Imsu is home to dummys! Sorting lecturers is just the way forward to most of them.
Universities in the north are way better than what is obtained in some schools in the east.

i teach in the north and i can boldly tell u that no state university in the north measures upto imsu in quality. By the way i graduated from a first generation university not imsu.

Enugu state should have done same a long time ago. A lot of armed fulani are pouring into that state from benue and causing so much untold damage and suffering to the ppl. All the states of the south east and south south should vigorously implement this policy directive using their own armed state vigilant service since the police authorities seems to support the fulanis.

I'm posting by 2.35am so i won't do a detailed treatment, however, this article is based on verbal gymnastics and outright falsehood. 1) as a prove of the first, he picked achebe's saying that between 1000 to 2000 ppl mostly civillians were killed and twisted it to mean that since he does not know the exact amount killed, how would he know if they were mostly civillians? This position of his is plain baseless, it's like saying that we have between 1000 to 2000 traders at the local weekly market here in the north most of them being non igbos. The fact that i don't know the exact number of traders does not mean that i don't know for certain that most of them are not igbos. 2) also his claim that ogbunigwe was not a product of igbo ingenuity because a harvard professor was teaching igbos how to make bombs from fertilizers is a white face lie. Ogbunigwe was a dust mine, so what concerns a dust mine with fertilizer bombs?( on a side note, have the nigerian army ever developed and utilised any technology on a battle field even with foreign help? Not even a fertilizer bomb). If indeed he is an engineer, then he should have known that america and russia built their jet technology using captured german scientists while india,pakistan, iran etc are building theirs using returned and foreign scientists from places like harvard. Nobody wakes up one morning and builds something out of the thin air, u learn and innovate just as igbos have been learning and innovating in nigeria thereby giving rise to such widespread cliches like igbo made, aba made, onitsha made etc. I'm yet to hear akure or ogbomosho made. The author is an attention seeker and would be better ignored. Imagine wasting my precious time reading such a hogwash? Nna men, ndi ara gbara ọkwụ fa ghụ o.(unfollows thread).

Despite all odds, this ppl continues to progress technologically

ijaw citizen: MR MAN STOP THIS BVLLSHIT!!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY SOUTH-SOUTH & SOUTH-EAST CLAMOURING FOR BIAFRA?

do you mind telling me the boundaries of biafra or the states that constituted the former eastern region? We igbos will be more than happy to go on our own without u guys but common sense dictates that united we stand and disunited we fail. Let me stop here for the moment.

The only solutuion for nigeria is disintegration, that way the north gets their islamic republic of arewanistan, the east (south east& south south) gets their biafra and the opc gets their socialist oduduwa republic to advance the socialist ideals of awolowo. This will automatically go a long way in stopping all this bloodshed. The vampires holding nigeria captive should better allow us split in peace.

MOST POLIO VACCINE WORKERS IN THE NORTH ARE YOUTH COPPERS. JUST INTERPRET IT AS 12 YOUTH COPPERS KILLED BY BOKO HARAM

Massob bu ndi ara na ndi ori, uwazulike bu onye ori. Sọ sọ etu a ga esi nweta biafra bu site na ịgba egbe na inu agha. Ndi massob na ana ndu fa na iyi, ebe uwazulike na ado ndoro ndoro ochichi na nigeria. Ka mgburu obi ndi a nwuru anwu zuo ike na ndọkwa. Amee

FRONTPAGE PLEASE

Wickedness get level o, while others are kidnapping for money, this ppl are kidnapping for human parts. Moderator frontpage asap.

bappahman: CBT is suppose to be optional bt at the moment there is no centres in kano nd kaduna for paper jamb nd prof ojirende has refuse to open more centers claimin dat ppl most go for CBT by force...almost 2000 potential candidates protested in kano due to lack of centers...for those that will start shouting hausas can't use computers.. In the whole of Nigeria 4000 registered out of the targeted 1.6million

ur on point but don't get carried away.

If the exam is held in different days that means that all the students wont answer the same questions and that would give rise to further problems since they are supposed to answer the same questions in order to be bettered compared by the universities they applied to.

The plan was ill adviced but it's hard to miss that it's a kano rep that opposed it. If the minister was an igbo man now, they would have started shouting igbo domination.

South east senators should have a meeting over that.

All the jtf commanders and top guns in the north are all igbos ablely assisted by other christians, no wonder the army is dealing mercilessly with them.

confusion247: Who and who is UNITED? Or do you mean United in unnecessary killings in northern Nigeria?
Nigeria is not UNITED AND CAN NEVER BE UNITED.

nigeria have no basis for to exist as a united country be it historical,religious etc -abubakar tafawa balewa at the northern house of assemble.

blocker: What would happen if a fulani becomes Nigerian President? Just think about it.

buhari is a fulani and we saw what happened when he lost an election. If he wins, we are sure that nigeria would be an active member of the organisation of islamic states and all other tribes and religions must be willing slaves to them.

Amadu bello made it very clear that northern minorities must accept their faith as willing slaves to the fulani. The northern minorities brought this on them selves.

go on with one nigeria (gowon).

nagoma: nyamiri ,Who are you kidnapping tonight?

stupid comments like this will only succeed to wipe away the little support iranians enjoy from the rest of the world.

Dibiachukwu: The beast named Obasanjo is neither African nor human. He deserves no respect. A man that disgraced "Nigerian" peoples, by handing over the animal named Charles Taylor, to the devils. When we Africans say A, we mean A. We are not back stabbers. He is a disgrace.

i thought i was the only one who noticed the treachery and betrayal he meted to taylor, however, i'm not surprised, his ppl are known for that. GEJ Should have him handled before he backstabs him to an early grave.

And obasanjo advice for Gej was to adopt the odi and zaki ibiam treatment for maidugri? Efcc and human rights watch should be used to arrest and prosecute that ape. So because achebe disgraced him by not accepting his award, he thinks that he can slander d illuminary giant? I think Obj have opened another avenue of controversy cos ppl will now start proving that achebe was correct with hard statistics. Obj should learn to close his mouth, he is stretching his luck too far.

redsun: Nigeria has no privisions for the fallen at all.Imagine the faith of this woman,destroyed by the wicked system and left with no choice but to expose her self to the dangers if HIV.

It is truly a dog eat dog world.

that is one of the evils of capitalism. If she was in a socialist state like sweden, her family will be entitled to social programs like free or low cost housing,free health services, free education to phd level etc. Infact this services are offered to everybody in that country regardless of financial statues.
