Ideke9000:
which nonsense standard in the West

Admission to UI is too competitive. Its natural only the very best will have the courage to apply for admission to the school. You can check the stats, UI admits the least of any university in Nigeria.

Man Battles For His Life After Assault By Abia COVID-19 Taskforce Officer

A middle-aged man whose name could not be disclosed is currently battling for his dear life following several punches and serial assault by enforcement officers attached to Umuahia North Covid-19 protocol enforcement team.

Trouble started when the victim, a commercial tricycle operator who approached a checkpoint opposite the General Post office in the capital city and was stopped by the taskforce officers.

It was discovered that one of his passengers was not wearing the mandatory face mask.

She was said to have hurriedly searched for it from his bag before the team attacked the Keke rider for carrying a passenger allegedly violating COVID-19 safety protocol.

The officers directed the Keke operator to take the vehicle to the local council headquarters and as he was still asking the taskforce member to take it easy, he received a deadly blow on his face, with three other punches coming simultaneously before the victim lost his balance and slumped lifelessly on the road.

The scenario attracted passersby who gathered to see the end of the Thursday afternoon drama while the attacker fumed in his rage over what he saw as belittling by the tricycle operator.

But when it became obvious that the Keke Operator may not be coming back so soon, the crowd became violent and insisted that the task force staff single-handedly convey his victim to hospital.

In the melee that ensued, the irate mob started manhandling the taskforce staff who after taking the heat for a while, made well his escape after taking to his heels and running into the council headquarters.

This is serious.

APC should just forget about Edo and focus on Ondo. It's late already for them. Even with Oshiohmole as the incumbent Chairman of APC, PDP will still trash them not to talk of now that baba has been retired politically!

PDP is Edo, Edo is PDP!!!

Do you mind if I ask what your name translates to in english?

gregyboy:
Na now this one dey know, lol

Check african food crops like beans, yam and the
Others and how dey got to africa and even cassava

Before slave trade what did you think they were trading shit and mess

Keep reading bro

You can make your point without being disrespectful. Besides, I know about the origin of cassava and beans.Yams however, are indigenous to Africa. One thing about people who claim to know it all is that in their haste to make sense, they often convey nonsense. You need to know that yam is native to Africa. Reading is clearly different from assimilation. Have a good day.

Imagine how shocked I was to find out that the "ANKARA" wax print that is so readily tagged a symbol of African identity, industry and sophistication was stolen from an Asian culture, replicated in Europe, forced on the Malay and then exported to Africa.
In reality, "our" wax prints are just subtle reinforcements of the perpetuation of colonialism and of the utmost economic benefit to Europe ( and more recently the Chinese). Ankara did not originate from the continent and until relatively recently, weren't even produced on the continent.

No it isn't right. UNN, UI and Unilag, like all Nigerian universities are severely underfunded

That's why they can't compete with other African universities, or on the global stage.

Add the fact that the education budget is less than 3 billion dollars, and you get the picture.

Education is expensive, and God knows I don't like that fact.

I wasnt going to comment until you compared UNN with other Unis to make it seem like it is underfunded viz-a-viz other Nigerian Unis. While I agree with the quoted comment, its important for UNN management to introspect particularly regarding how some Unis have been able to utilise relatively low funds to run a more efficient system. I will keep mentioning UI until due recognition is given to that institution. How it has been able to maintain such consistently high standards in spite of meagre funding is nothing short of a "miracle."

kikero:
School fees for UNN this year is N70000-77000 per annum. Which in dollar terms translates to less than $200 per annum.

School fees for covenant university is N857,000-N1million.

And you are expecting UNN to look nice on scanty school fees. Compared with Covenant which is charging high fees to begin with.

Let's be honest. Universities are EXPENSIVE. Yes, it was built with palm oil money. Now, how does the school get money to maintain what was built with palm oil money

The money you spend on buying a car is not the same as the money you will spend maintaining it.

Either UNN students pay higher fees, or we take more LOANS.

Baba, UI fees is a whole lot less than what you have posted, and they have the best facilities maintenance culture amongst federal universities, admit the fewest no. of students and remain far ahead of any other Federal uni. in the Country. They also receive less allocation than UNN. You can look for other excuses, but this isnt one

I thought West Africa is immune to earthquakes. God save us

I didn't see anything from the video. FAKE

Leave God make him rest. Not all of West Africa. Ghana is on what is called 'fault lines' like other earthquake prone countries.

Better dont try it. Ghana Army will finish Nigeria in one week.

You are either a comedian or on strong weed.

Kingosytex:
Well, the first step will be to reduce the number of law makers breakers in the legislature.

Those guys are practically doing nothing to earn the billions they are being paid.

I will also champion massive sensitisation and re-orientation. Virtues like truth, honesty and contentment must be inculcated in the lives of the upcoming generations because this present generation is a lost cause.

Its every president's wish to reduce the size or even get rid of the legislature so that he can be fully in charge. However, except you are going to resort to draconian measures, the process is so tedious, you will end up frustrated.

UNIZIK is in a class of its own

I'm a UI alumnus. I visited r school once for a conference and I absolutely loved it. I loved Awka Town generally, so many beautiful memories. Hope to visit again.

University of Ghana is one of the best public universities in Ghana. Our own University of Lagos can't be build this kind of structure. According to webometric, University of Ghana is rated 17 as at 2019 see

Mtcchw. We are talking of the world's most prestigious rankings such as Times Higher, who be webometrics
This Uni fyn sha oooo , its the truth.

Hmmn. I read r comment once and I can't understand why you couldnt have simply consulted google.

Hi, please, how has the experience been using this oraimo? I currently use romoss but want to get one more PB. Is it better or as good as the romoss Lt20 20k mah?

Kindly reply please

It's been awesome for the most part. It had a fast charging port + large MAH. However, its all in the past now as it began to misbehave after dropping a few times. Charging is now very slow. If you are the careful type, by all meams go for it.

THE ONE EYED KING....
YOU'RE VERY CORRECT.

UNDER NORMAL SETTINGS SEF WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE MENTIONING LOCAL SCHOOLS LIKE UNILAG OR HYPING THAT SLUM. EXCEPT THAT NAIJA IS LOADED WITH SLUM-SCHOOLS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH SO WE'RE SHORT OF OPTIONS.
OUR NEIGHBORS LIKE GHANA, EGYPT, S/AFRICA AND THE REST ARE LIGHTYEARS AHEAD.

I WON'T LIE, IT IS BETTER TO ENROLL YOUR KIDS INTO FREE ALMAJERI SCHOOLS IN THE NORTH THAN SEND THEM TO ANY NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY.. BECAUSE THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH.

South Africa and Egypt yes, but Ghana, NO. You people keep repeating this rubbish. UI and Covenant are ranked ahead of any other Uni in West Africa. UI particularly has been consistently ranked in the top 8 unis in Africa for years. Making generalizations is unfair and takes the shine off what the institution hs been able to achieve in spite of the obvious challenges faced by Nigerian universities.

It's over 70days already if people were to die like fowl they would have already started dying since ...Open your eyes

Wow..... Kogi is not as cosmopolitan as other states. Its very psible cases go unreported in the interior parts. Kabba is relatively large and that could have influenced the discovery of the index case.

Alexk2:
I doubt if the guy is from Kogi State to start with self

Most certainly.

Flairoqy:
Kogi is my state, If you know the location and route it takes to reach the kabba that isn't really exposed from lokoja, you'll know this is politics to sabotage governor yahaya Bello, well done NCDC.

I hope you are not trying to insinuate that there's no direct route to Kabba from LKJ cos that's a big fat lie.

SarkinYarki:
Dino should leave Yahaya Bello alone to handle that useless NCDC

So that Kogi ppl can start dying like fowls abi? Get sense

IronGalaxy:
To always say South Africa was " developed by whites" is to make excuses for your under -development

Below, University of Johannesburg, Soweto Campus built by black people in a black neighbourhood. This ass-kissing of white people has to stop among you Nigerians

There are better pics than this if you really want to showcase S.A uni. Structures. UI buildings will def. Compete with these. I'll see if I can get some pictures.

dulux07:
Hyping mediocrity . Universities that are not even top 10 in africa. . Despite Nigeria claiming giant of africa, and having vast resources

UI and Covenant are the only Nigerian Unis in the top 10 in Africa. Always crosscheck your facts before coming to disgrace your self on nairaland.
FYI, UI even ranks higher than any Ghanian Uni on times higher education ranking, which by the way is the most prestigious world ranking for Universities.

IkwerrePikin:
Misplaced priority. How have all these things help a common man like you? How much increase in your bank account?

It would have been better if all the money used for those project which only the elites with abuja connection will enjoy to just give Nigerians even if it’s 18hrs per day electricity.

With electricity your life will change, price of data you’re using to text will decrease, price of goods, petrol, food stuffs will reduce. More companies will come to do business in Nigeria creating more jobs, hospitals, schools, security systems, street lights will function better and we would have an upgrade in processing of data across the web in Nigeria will be faster than it is which would boost our economy.

Stop celebrating rubbish, ask for something that would better your life. Thank you

Amid this corona virus? I sense its now survival of the fittest..

Survival of the luckiest, you mean?

ignis:
Yes. I am privy of many confidential information as regards COVID-19 in kano state.

Lol... From what source? You people go about passing whatsapp info amongst yourselves with so much confidence. It's so hilarious.

ignis:
That is my opinion, and I am fully entitled to it.

If 21 almajiri repatriated from kano could test positive to COVID-19, it means 25% of Kano population will also be positive.

It's not an absolute certainty. Besides, have you seen an argument refuting that figure?

Naija4love:
shut up if alimajiri bring it. Then all kano for done get

You are obviously incapable of logical reasoning. So, all the cases in Kano are for what?

McBrooklyn:
Strictly family business.. I could care less tbfh

Yes.....until someone from Kano brings it to your area

ignis:
El Rufai is taking advantage of Almajiri brought from kano to inflate figures

This is a very irresponsible statement. Do you think this is a competition or something?
