I weep for Nigerian undergraduates.

Gradually, autocracy is coming to stay in Nigeria.
I know that some stupid fellows will support it. They do not want Almighty Buhari to be distracted by protest(s).
Peaceful protest(s) for a genuine reason(s) is of the fundamental human right in a democratic country.

Please tell me ooo. Where is Saraki buying his weed nowadays? I want to believe that weed is not of Nigeria type.
These self- acclaimed leaders think everybody is stupid like their followers.

Wow, it is not too bad.
On a more serious note, they should step up the consession committee for the " Presidency" because it seems the politicians lack the necessary skills anwill to move this country forward.

Gates has donated nearly $31 billion in stock and cash to his foundation over his lifetime. If the Microsoft cofounder were not such a prolific philanthropist, neither Ortega nor anyone else on Earth would be anywhere close to as rich as Gates.
In veiw of the above statements, I hereby pronounce Bill Gates as the richest man in the whole world.
My advice: Do not despise the little beginning.

^ Buhari is a wasteful spender.

Osinbajo ooo

Steve Wynn and Elaine Pascal ($740 million)

Steve Wynn, chief executive of Wynn Resorts, married Elaine Pascal in 1963. They divorced in 1986 but remarried in 1991, ultimately leading to a second divorce in 2010. Elaine received eleven million shares of the Wynn stock when they divorced, totaling $740 million.

She came back to finish him.

The president GMB SHOULD SACK THE MINISTER OF PETROLEUM ASAP. I dont see any value he has added to the system

Do you want to people to build career in unemployment or in private schools? I think that is where majority of Nigerian graduates belongs to right now.
Like one person said in the above, likewise I advise : Network and make friends with relevant persons.
"you would be the same way in 20yrs time as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read. "

really? Mokola bridge under utilized? Stop smoking swine shit..
Every building you mention from cocoa house to agbowo shopping complex have people using them...

Visit the place yourself. Don't just spew the crap people fed u.

Rabbit or what did you call yourself, I stand with my statements. Is flyover at Agodi useful? May be you can take a walk to Dugbe and look at how "Cocoa House" is partially empty over years. Also, don't forget to get to Agbowo shopping complex and look at how the edifice is at the moment.
Don't let sentiment becloud your sense of unbiased reasoning and judgement. The politicians are full of carrying out white elephant projects.

Buhari led FG approved the requirement of 10,000 into Nigeria Police than one year ago and it has not seen the light of the day yet. With this approval for NDLEA, may be the successful candidates will be engaged by " April, 2019."

The names were submitted when they were sleeping. Or what did they say sef? They should continue their sleeping then.
The other time, APC members at national assembly were to join other members of other parties to elect their house leaders, having been pre-informed, they chose to be in the meeting called by their national chairman at the expense of national assignment.
Misplace of priorities has always been their problem.

Needless to talk about Ijebu Ode flyover and its uselessness. What about the flyover leading to Oyo state government Secretariat? Even, Mokola bridge in Ibadan is underutilised. The cocoa house built by Awolowo is not fully occupied up to this moment and the same is of Agbowo shopping complex in front of University of Ibadan that is being wasted away. Politicians always look for monumental projects that they can point to later in future not minding whether such projects meet the aspirations of the people the are governed at that moment.

Heh

French-Tunisian man named as Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who killed 84 people in Nice, appears to have been a violent petty criminal.

The man responsible for Thursday’s murderous attack in Nice was a violent petty criminal unknown to the French security services, who was born in Tunisia but had been living and working in the coastal city, prosecutors have said.

Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a 31-year-old delivery driver and father, was shot dead by police after killing 84 people, including 10 children and teenagers, and injuring scores more in a deadly Bastille Day rampage .

Despite a criminal record which saw him convicted for the first time in March this year, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was not known by French or Tunisian officials to have links to terrorist organisations and was said by neighbours to have had little apparent interest in religion.

Echoing the remarks of French officials, security sources in Tunisia said he was not known by the Tunisian authorities to hold radical or Islamist views.

At a packed press conference, the Paris prosecutor François Molins said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had been “completely unknown to both France’s domestic and foreign intelligence officials”. But he added: “Although yesterday’s attack has not been claimed, this sort of thing fits in perfectly with calls for murder from such terrorist organisations.”

Molins said the investigation would focus a number of key issues including potential accomplices, how Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had procured the gun he fired at police and whether he was connected to radical jihadi networks.

On Friday, at the modest five-storey block of flats in the Quartier des Abattoirs where he had lived and which was raided by officers from the elite RAID unit at 9.30am that morning,neighbours described him as a quiet and “not very religious” man.

Born in 1985 in Tunisia, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel had come from the town of M’saken near the city of Sousse – where dozens of foreign tourists were shot dead on a beach last year – and had reportedly last visited the town four years ago.

Speaking to reporters in his building, neighbours said he had rarely spoken to them and did not return greetings when their paths crossed in the working-class neighbourhood. Photographs from inside the flat showed a cramped and shabby home whose contents had been turned over by investigators.

Sebastien, a neighbour who spoke on condition that his full name was not used, said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel did not seem overtly religious, often dressed in shorts and sometimes wore work boots.

He had a van parked nearby and owned a bike, which he brought up into his first-floor apartment.

Of those who were interviewed, only one, a neighbour on the ground floor, said she had had any concerns about him – describing him as “a good-looking man who kept giving my two daughters the eye”. Other people who knew him – quoted in the French media – described an individual interested in women and salsa music.

Another neighbour, identified only as Jasmine, aged 40, told the Guardian: “He was quite handsome, greyish hair, looked a bit like George Clooney. He never answered when we spoke or said hello, he just sort of stared at us aggressively.

“I was really scared of him. All I knew is that he had trouble with his wife, but we never saw her or their kids. He spent a lot of his time at a bar down the street where he gambled and drank.”

Others who knew him said they believed he was either divorced or in the process of getting divorced. Police raided the 12th-floor apartment of his estranged wife, elsewhere in the city, where neighbours said he had not lived for three years. His wife was later taken in for questioning.

In the cluster of towering red and white blocks of social housing in northern Nice, where the couple had lived together years earlier, the Muslim community was in shock. A group of teenagers sitting on the porch of one of the huge towers claimed that Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who they said had been in conflict with his ex-wife, drank, smoked and never visited the mosque.

“I was woken up by people screaming: ‘Let her go, she didn’t do anything’,” said one woman, who gave her name as Saïda, when asked about the questioning of his ex-wife. “It hurts because they are an adorable family and I don’t think they have anything to do with it. We knew her husband was violent and had moved out a while ago but that is all.”

Another woman, Halima, added: “We are all really stunned. All those victims. We didn’t sleep all night and we cried for absolutely everyone.” The group lost a friend, who they said was the first person to be hit by the driver on Thursday night.

The first clues to Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s identity emerged in the immediate aftermath of the attack as police combed through the bullet-ridden lorry he had rented from a local company on 11 July. Investigators recovered a mobile phone, bank card and driver’s licence – all pointing to Lahouaiej-Bouhlel.

Known to the police for a violent altercation in which he had hurled a wooden pallet at another driver, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was given a suspended sentence and asked to contact police once a week, which he did, said the French justice minister, Jean-Jacques Urvoas.

But little else in Lahouaiej-Bouhlel’s past indicated he would commit an atrocity on the scale of Thursday’s attack. Investigators will want to know where he acquired the stash of weapons found in the cab of the truck, whether he was indeed acting alone or had accomplices – and, perhaps above all, what motivated him to launch his murderous assault.

In practical terms, too, police will have questions to answer, including how – amid a high-level security alert and state of emergency – he was able to get through a security perimeter to launch his attack.

One of a community of 40,000 Tunisians living in Nice – among a wider community of 120,000 in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region – he was not, say neighbours in the Quartier des Abattoirs, a familiar figure in the 18 or so mosques in the city.

One focus of the investigation is likely to be connections in Nice itself – a city which has in recent years emerged as a centre of radicalisation and jihadi recruitment, not least through the network of Omar Omsen, also known as Oumar Diaby, whose name has repeatedly surfaced in French counter-terrorism investigations.
