So, where is the money na? Things have not improved since the APC says we are out of recession.

Probably, in some places, things are okay; But for where i dey, this your One trillion revenue nor add anything to the situation.

We will continue to pray that you guy'z work something out. Because if this contry fails, na we (the masses) go suffer am pass oh..

where is the money abi? Are you expecting them to come and give u money in your bedroom? Enemy of progress. Were you not in Nigeria when a bag of rice was sold for 20000? Now it is 13000,b4, a paint of gari 1000, now 400. In fact, inflation has droped. Pls, cultivate the habit of reading News paper to know what is happening

Giving themselves bad name thinking they are doing good things, calling themselves future leaders. . They don't know that there are challenges after school.

I don't understand why some people are praising Atiku for critizicing the present govt just because he want to become the next president. He is promising what he was unable to do for 16 years when he was no 2 citizen. He is now critizicing another govt for not rebuilding what they have destroyed for 16 years in 2 years.

Nigeria politicians are good at making empty promises.

APC is using it to campaign for 2019 elections, after 2019 elections it will be increased this time around to maybe 50 thousand.

if they increase the price you people will say they are insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, if they reduce the price, you will say it is for campaign. How do you want it?

Some body like Jonathan does not deserve to be president of Nigeria. People took the advantage of silence to loot us dry. Although, Some people around the are corrupt but the fear of buhari will make them think twice

Electricity is improving and nobody is praising fasola, but when other side arises we will start calling for his resignation.

OGA, you may be shortlisted for provisional admission but you will be screened out during post admission list screening

Federal government has been planning to convert the school to the university since 12 years ago but powerful people in the school are resisting the attempt for selfish interests, the they believe that if professor is allowed to head the school, the actualization of the university is possible, and their jobs are at risk. Some of them have not upgraded their certificates upto doctorate level as recommended by the government.

I see churches but I see no mosques...

Somebody talk to me.

the way of operation in the mosque is different from that of churches
You can only compare churches with Islamic organizations like Nasfat and other Asalatul organizations. Going to mosque is different from attending Nasfat (voluntary)

aolawale025:
