I have a question about their fees. Although they said it is tuition-free, I'm already asked to pay about $50 for 'admission processing'. My question is, how much would I pay in my course of pursuing a degree with them?

To be honest, I was moved to try to apply because they said it was a tuition-free, low-cost university, but I don't want to be left stranded and looking for a load halfway into the program because I can't afford it.

Can anyone tell me how much approx do I have to spend to complete a Bachelor's degree with them?

Hello,

It is quite ok that you express your interest in pursuing a degree at IICSE University. I understand your concern regarding the fees and the initial $50 'admission processing' cost. Allow me to clarify the cost structure.

I completely understand your concerns about the misconception surrounding tuition-free universities or colleges. It's essential to dispel this misunderstanding and shed light on the additional fees and expenses that students may encounter while pursuing their education, even in tuition-free institutions.

While IICSE University offers a tuition-free education, it's crucial to be aware that certain costs will still apply. These expenses can include exam fees, graduation portfolio expenses, and, most notably, the expenses related to your research project or thesis. As I rightly mentioned, this is a common aspect of many academic programs that students often overlook.

In Nigeria, for instance, the National Open University is known for providing tuition-free education, but students do incur substantial costs throughout their academic journey. These additional fees are vital for various services, facilities, and support that contribute to a quality learning experience. It is essential for prospective students to recognize that these fees are normal in higher education institutions, whether they are traditional, online, or tuition-free.

I have successfully completed my Ph.D. program with them, and I can confidently attest to the legitimacy and value of the education provided. This degree has opened doors for me, enabling me to participate in international conferences, present post-doctoral papers, and work with prestigious organizations both locally and abroad. The quality of my education has been acknowledged, and I am already making strides in my career.

It's true; the path to academic success might involve some financial investment, but it's a worthwhile investment in your future. IICSE University is indeed recognized, and its commitment to providing affordable education does not compromise the quality of its programs. The knowledge and skills I acquired during my time at IICSE have been invaluable in my professional life.

Remember, your decision to pursue higher education is an investment in yourself and your future. The benefits of a well-rounded education will extend far beyond the cost incurred. It's essential to focus on the opportunities and knowledge you will gain rather than the initial expenses.

Embrace your decision to progress in your academic pursuits and disregard any unfounded doubts. With dedication, hard work, and support from the university, you too can achieve great heights in your academic and professional journey.

Best regards,

Stumbled upon ds IICSE University todae and am thinking if its real but needs someone who has undergone such before

Dear Reader,

'IICSE University is not totally free.'

I would like to take a moment to share my positive experience with IICSE University, Wilmington, Delaware and emphasize the legitimacy of the institution (Please take note of the address because there are some other IICSE entities). As a Nigerian, I initially had reservations about pursuing an online degree, but after completing my PhD program at IICSE, I can confidently attest to the quality of education provided by the university. I have since introduced many of my sceptical friends in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria, to IICSE University.

It is important to note that all foreign certificates can be notarized in your home country after graduation, which applies to all universities, including IICSE. I want to dispel any doubts you may have about the legitimacy of the institution and assure you that IICSE University is an accredited institution that provides high-quality education to students worldwide.

IICSE University offers a variety of online programs that are designed to help students advance their careers and achieve their goals. The institution's mission is to provide a tuition-free education to individuals worldwide who may not be able to afford a traditional campus-based education. However, it is important to note that there are other costs associated with the program, such as exam fees and graduation portfolio expenses and very importantly your thesis expenses which normally will varied based on what you are working on, I must say here that my research work took me to the Uk and that cost I must bear for a good research work for my PhD. IICSE mission is reflected in the university's commitment to providing a broad range of programs that take into account your work and life experience.

Don't be confused here, IICSE is an online University and not a campus-based institution, although with a physical office address in the US, you should also know that many Universities around the world are going online now because that is where the market is. It is also worthy to note that IICSE have commenced a full-time and an on campus-based programs through her partner institutions around the world for those who may prefer to be in a physical centre. Many Nigerians that I know have already graduated from IICSE University (Check IICSE LinkedIn Alumni Platform), and I believe that more people should take advantage of this opportunity. Online degrees and programs are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, and IICSE University is an excellent option for anyone looking to further their education at any levels, you are given all your course materials after you are admitted with your login details.

I would like to emphasize that IICSE University is a legitimate online institution with a physical address. The university is registered in the US, and you can verify this information on the website of the accrediting/registering body. Online Universities worldwide are not accredited by just one educational entity. It is very important for you to know that there are many professional bodies across the globe responsible for the accreditation of Higher education studies online, You have to take the time to check the exact one that is responsible for the accreditation of IICSE University, Wilmington, Delaware and verify their accreditation status yourself from them directly, this is important because if you check with the once they are not affiliated with, you may not find them there.

I currently work with an international organization headquartered in Abuja, which has enabled me to put the knowledge and skills acquired through my studies at IICSE into practice. This organization values the high-quality education that I received at IICSE and has recognized the value of my degree from the institution.

I highly recommend IICSE University to anyone seeking to further their education and career. It is worth noting that the affordability of IICSE University does not compromise the quality of education provided. I often ask the question all through my program at IICSE University ' must all quality education be expensive before you believe it is real or authentic?'. In fact, the institution is driven by a compelling vision to provide a valuable educational opportunity to individuals who may not have access to traditional campus-based universities.

In conclusion, IICSE University is a legitimate institution that provides a valuable educational opportunity option for students worldwide. If you're looking to further your education and advance your career, I highly recommend that you consider IICSE University. I am happy to have completed my program in good time and I am happy. If you have any further questions or would like to know more about my experience, please feel free to reach out on WhatsApp only: (234) 902 879 9505.

Find attached some of the documents in the Portfolio, there are many more. I hope this help.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

IICSE University is a scam, i repeat IICSE is a scam!! their offers seem to be too good to be true as they offer courses that no other university anywhere in the world offers online at prices that will only wow you but please no one should fall for them as they are out to take advantage of people who are hungry for education and dupe them of their hard earned money, IICSE University is an idea that was generated here in Nigeria, here is their first and real scam website that didn't sell as they wanted http://iicseonline.com/ before they switched to http://www.iicseuniversity.org/ but it is all dubious, so my brother do not fall for it.

Those are not the same university. I can tell you that for free. thanks brother

Allann:


Did you do your Pgd at a University or NTI?

It doesn't matter where you do it. Go ahead and do something my bro. the NTI you are talking about is affiliated to a University anyway. Just act now.

Sanuzi:
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why the AAHHHHHHHHHH? You dont believe it or what? you better do,that is just the reality because I am a living witness. thank you

Allann:


Will you advise someone trying to switch to a career in education to go for University PgdEd or NTI PgdEd? Thanks.

Yes..because that is what I did.

akubudejud:
PLEASE..! If you are reading this post deliberately or by chance,I will beg you to be very objective and learn from this rather than criticizing or condemning how the presentation is made ,this is my personal experiences and may not apply to every body, follow the thread and learn, this post is not intending to showcase my writing skills or to down-grade any career or advertise any establishment, however it is meant to encourage the minds of many intelligent unemployed graduate out there through my own past experience..Thank you.

Now,let me start from my school days,..Many years ago in the University my aims and objectives like any other undergraduate is to struggle hard to graduate with good grade, 2:1 grade at least, leave the school get a wonderful job that can fetch me good money to start life possibly getting another degree or starting a family,this is always our dreams back at school.But personally I was wrong, life in the campus is quite different from the outside life.Please, at this juncture,I am talking to those of us that are from an average family and not those whose parent had already starched money into their bank account or reserve a position for in a big conglomerate.

Now, I left school for my NYSC like many of us did, I was too much in a hurry to finish my NYSC because I believe my certificate is a straight ticket to work in Shell ,NNPC,GLO, MTN, NLG, GTBANK, HALLIBURTON,CHEVRON just name them,these establishments are very good places to work no doubt,I was known in all test venue all over the country writing one test or the other and after a lot of frustrated attempt, I remember the Federal government jobs in all the Ministries including state ministries,tried the Nigerian police, Army ,Navy ,Air force,Road safety and so on and so forth..No Godfather No Job..Even after a successful Aptitude Test and interviews no Job, I AM getting older, my age is disappointing me to get certain good Job that I desired, earlier however, along the line, during my Youth service, I was introduced to teaching but I ended up quarreling with my adviser even though I enjoyed teaching during the time I served as a youth corper.

Now, am jobless but intelligent, the flashes of my NYSC days when I was posted to a secondary school as a teacher kept coming in..TEACHER!! God forbid Who want to be a TEACHER ,after all David Osho was my course mate in school He is presently with Chevron..I am a graduate of Geophysics too so why would you wish me such a thing that was always my reaction...I remain jobless while so many job vacancies were been advertised every day from old and new schools looking for qualify and intelligent teachers all over Nigeria.

After many years of roaming about the street of Lagos ,Abuja, Portharcourt, Ibadan etc. I settled down for a private school where I was completely used up every day for a pay as low as N 7,000.00 PER month incredible..!(not exaggerating here) very small to start with you may say.

But hear this, after a while I began to study the system gather money to develop myself in the field and fortunately things started changing in the educational sector in Nigeria, Teachers started earning respect from people. Thank God and the NTI-(National Teacher's Institute) and TRCN (Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria) as they Started standardizing the profession.

Through hard work however,I learnt the rudiment of teaching and I started having different views and understanding about some schools in Nigeria running both Nigerian and British curriculum in education, I then apply to one of the International school around after my PGDip Ed. and sincerely speaking ,I never thought I could enjoy teaching not only by the act but by what one could learn and gain from this type of high caliber secondary schools and other government schools in Nigeria.

So now,if you are in the line of education already I congratulate you. Imagine the multitude of NYSC graduates passing out and other intelligent graduates from Higher Institutions roaming the street claiming to be graduate of Universities and polytechnics wasting away looking for job that is NOT even available.

When moving around Lagos one day I remember with great pity how many like me refusing to start something small...Please, let us re-think and plan for ourselves you can pursue your dream but don't relegate any profession it could be your saving grace..WE ALL CAN NOT BE TEACHERS BUT YOU CAN AS WELL APPRECIATE THIS NOBLE PROFESSION.

NOW APART FROM THE CONVENTIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS LIKE THE ONE YOU AND I ATTENDED WHICH IS ACTUALLY BETTER NOW IN NIGERIA TO START A CAREER IN TEACHING,...WE NOW HAVE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA OPERATING ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL AND PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY PAY VERY WELL.

Schools Like....

Grange school Lagos.
Day waterman college ASU Ogun State.
Dowen College Lagos.
Olashore International School(OIS) Osun State.
Atlantic Hall lagos.
British International School.(BIS)
Redeemers International school Lagos.
Bloombred International secondary school Portharcourt.
Temple school Lagos.
Corona School.
Meadow Hall School.
Pampers School and
so many others too numerous to mention.

These are AISEN Schools,(Association of International Schools Educators of Nigeria (AISEN ).However,not all schools using the word 'International' belong to AISEN...check this site(http://www.aisenconference.com/)They operate different salary structures for their staff and provides training for them both local and international some of these schools start from as low as N 100,000.00. The method of teaching is technologically based with the use of ICT and modern facilities, Recently a friend of mine got a job as a Mathematics teacher and they started with N 250,000.00 per month excluding accommodation and other benefits, please I am not exaggerating here to amuse any body also not trying to advertise the schools my point is that if you are intelligent teaching is one career that is very lucrative now in Nigeria and will expose you positively.

What you need is to be qualify as a professional in the field, do one or two courses in education and if you already had one, good luck.!

I work in one of the Schools listed above and my orientations about teaching had so far changed,I have my PGDip. Ed and also doing my M.Ed. Internal training from the school helped me with some International recognize certification in education now. I felt I should let you know this little secret, which is not for everybody though!

Please, Joblessness could lead to frustration..Until you start to teach you wouldn't know you are a good teacher,make a move now and as you start small you will soon become large..! God bless you.

HMMMM! What a life,I wrote this article when I was just a classroom teacher some years ago.Today, I am heading an International school in Abuja. To God be the Glory.

makasinn:
Saw your write up on teaching especially with the International schools in Nigeria, I have been so much interested but don't know how to go about it. Please I don't mind if u can put me through. Thank you

what do you study?

..Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world... Her decision to acquire spiritual Knowledge and education should be applauded. Our father (The living God) is always waiting to welcome any one who is ready for him. MAY THE LORD INCREASE ARE STRENGTH..!!

hapheey007:

Overtime, several popular Nigerian pastors have seen themselves transform from what they looked like when they were very much younger and of course before the fame and money. We are used to seeing them chubby and fashionably dressed but it wasn’t always so.

When you stumble on really old pictures of some Nigerian pastors, you can’t help but marvel at the work of God in their life. this is the before and after pictures of some of your favourite Nigerian pastors that will make you smile, laugh or get inspired.
These pictures will tell you two things. One, all these people you admire today were not as adorable and good looking when growing up. Secondly, hard work pays.

1. Pastor E.A. Adeboye: He is the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He took over from Papa Akindayomi who had died the previous year, in 1981. He is married to Foluke Adeboye, who is also a pastor, and they are blessed with four children.

2. Pastor W.F. Kumuyi: He is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church. While serving as Math Lecturer at The University of Lagos in 1973, he started a Bible study group with 15 university students who had come to him requesting training in the scriptures. The small group later grew to thousands, at which time the Deeper Life Bible Church was formally established. He remarried in October 2010 in London, about 18 months after the death of his first wife.

3. Bishop Oyedepo: He is the founder and presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church World Wide, also known as Winners' Chapel. He is one of the richest Pastor in Nigeria and the world. This prosperous man of God has several private jets and a host of investments. He is married to Faith Abiola and their union has produced four children.

4. Pastor Chris Okotie: He is the pastor of the Household of God Church International Ministries, located in Lagos. He contested for the post of president in 2003, 2007 and 2011 and lost. His first marriage to Tina lasted 17 years. He remarried Stephanie but unfortunately, the marriage ended after 4 years. READ ALSO: Funny throwback photos of your favourite Nigerian senators

5. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: He is the founding president of Believers' Loveworld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, with its headquarters in Lagos. He is one of the richest pastors in the world. His marriage to Anita crashed in 2014.

6. T.B. Joshua: He is the leader and founder of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), located in Lagos. He has been listed as one of the richest in the world. This man of God is known for his miracles and prophecies worldwide. He always claims to have predicted any tragedy whenever it occurs.

7. Mike Bamiloye: He is an evangelist and founder of Mount Zion Faith Drama Ministry. He has featured, produced and directed several movies over the years. He is married to Gloria Bamiloye. After looking at these photos you have to thank God for progress.

Na only gals him dey born?

Ah- Ah !! What does that have to do with the discussion on ground. With due respect never use that to judge his abilities. And please let us be focus as a country perhaps the youths and young in heart should henceforth channel a new course for this generation to follow for the country belong to us now (age 45 is good and mature enough to think for a new direction). If he is bold to enough come on board we are not to castigate him in any form but to hear him out. I love his boldness and I also LOVE Nigeria but sincerely am tired of how we are living as if we are third-rated human beings. Thanks

Ugandan billionaire Ivan Ssemwanga buried with bundles of cash.

Uganda's billionaire businessman, Ivan Ssemwanga, has been buried in the most 'unique' way ever!
TUKO reports that the flamboyant moneybag who was also Zari Hassan's former husband, was buried with money thrown into the grave by family and friends.

He was buried Tuesday, May 30, at his Kanyunga home in Uganda in a ceremony attended by all and sundry. The flamboyant tycoon died recently at age 40.

See video of how members of the Rich Gang, where deceased socialite Ivan Semwanga was leader, popped champagne and threw bundles of money at his grave, after he was laid to rest.

Hmmmmm!!! Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide, starvation, dehydration, and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury.

Regardless of race, religion, geographical area, or time period, every human has wondered about the one fact of life that unifies us all

Including our dearest Nollywood stars. These demised stars would always be remembered for their role in one way or the other in the development of the Nigerian movie industry- Nollywood.

The Society that cast aside it moral underpinnings will ultimately end up on the scrap heap of history, even of a powerful country with enormous national resilience and pride like Nigeria.

Television Sex is everywhere. It permeates the movies and the “Local home videos” telenovelas and even cartoon programs we watch the music we hear, the magazines and books we read, the talk and reality shows we listen to and watch respectively.
Perhaps never has society had access to so much knowledge about sex but understood so little about it. Seldom have people suffered so much through sexual ignorance.

The dignity and pride of Nigeria is seriously under threat if nothing is done urgently, the crops of the present Nigerian youths and young in minds with a saturated mind-set of life to mean nothing more than FUN ,FUN and fun putting sex at the center of the building called “FUN” as depicted in the well celebrated “BBN”.

Recently in Nigeria, it was reported that majority of Nigerian youths and adult alike celebrated the winner of the much talk television reality show called Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) as a confirmation of the aforementioned assertions while the ‘fame’ took over various social media networks, my heart bled for the nation.

BBN become the most popular and discussed reality show ever. Believe it or not many Nigerian youth actually enjoyed themselves while the enemy of their souls is quite busy engaging them in readiness for hell. Pardon me if I sound too direct but the Big Brother Naija is one of the LATENT poison that will soon wipe out this generation moral virtue if not abruptly banned, if Sodom and Gomorrah rings a bell.

On a realistic point of view, of what benefit or positive effect will young minds accommodated or put together in a home somewhere in South Africa to interact with each other anyhow they feel like will bring to the country? In a country like Nigeria where mediocrity is celebrated I am not surprise to see well known Nigerians actually supporting and celebrating the success of a devilish and shameful program exposing a great deal of Nigerian youths to spiritual slavery and encouraging the highest level of immorality on air.

Many parents, government and spiritual Leaders watched and silently supported their participating children in the name of modernity and freedom of socialization, the broadcasting system is not helping matter but promoting ‘SIN and EVIL’, righteousness and Holiness is thrown to the air and never preached again in our churches.

It is quite disheartening to even see our government leaders rewarding Idleness and mediocrity with an ambassadorial position to further promote the EVIL fast…what a shame, hmmm..where is our Dignity as a nation?

Organizers of such program are greedy, wicked and evil they are mocking us and making money in the expense of our souls and spiritual freedom, we are watching and cheering the participants into spiritual death, vanity and worldliness.

Millions of Nigerians that voted for any housemate in BBN actually belong to one family and congregation in Nigeria encouraging the exact thing that God detest…Be wise Because their hidden motive is to KILL, STEAL AND TO DESTROY your soul. Take it or leave it.

Statistics shows that through voting alone the organizers made up to half a billion naira from your 30-50 naira supporting Godless and Immoral act. Oh! Read Hosea 4:6

If this country must move the hand of God positively, we must endeavour to sanitize our air space. The BBNaija show is morally unjustifiable and is the most sexually explicit reality show ever in Africa.

Must we imitate everything? Nigerians must call for a total ban of the program immediately and also to discourage the act of celebrating anyone involved.

Organizers should engage our dear youths more positively by sponsoring in other areas of shows that is more developmental and educative to tap from the excellent brains Nigerian youth can offer.

According to Archbishop Alaba Job, “Apart from the mouth-watering profit the sponsoring companies stand to gain, the TV reality show has no single positive impact on the Nigerian citizens, neither does it have on its dwindling economy."

Perhaps, now is the time for Nigerian to wake up and sincerely stop these entire greedy sponsors of similar shows who are only interested in growing the financial strength of their pockets at the expense of our tomorrow. The BBNaija reality show only celebrates obscenity, eroticism and idleness….! As a matter of fact, you may not agree with me, but time will actually tell if this disease is not cure now.

Please Share this to as many people as possible if you love Nigeria youths and believe in them.

Oduduwa nation

In our present political predicament, we have three options: a federalism with an all-powerful central government, a decentralized federal government, and a fragmented Nigeria supplanted by separation. The first option of a powerful and tyrannical federal government is what we have now. The second option of a true centralized federalism is being rejected, rebuffed, and resisted. But Nigeria is headed for the third option – fragmentation and separation.

The imminent possible break up of Nigeria brings on the bone-shaking shivers doctors call rigors. Many writers have detailed how Nigeria is bursting at the seams with ethno-religious, political and economic problems waiting to explode. However, the apostles of one Nigeria have repeatedly denied or dismissed the notion and tried to nudge us out of that zone. By definition, a failed state is one that has simply ceased to function. Going by this definition, Nigeria is a failed state because nothing works in Nigeria. Nigeria is a divided nation. Nigeria is a collapsed state and her break up is imminent. The signs are all over the place: an Oduduwa Republic for the Yorubas is inevitable.

I believe there is a very strong case for Oduduwa Republic for the benefits for both the historic rivalry between east and west, north and south, oil states and non-oil states, Christian and Muslims communities, democrats and autocrats, soldiers and citizens that have bedeviled Nigeria since its founding are pulling us apart to the extreme. We're closer to the breaking point. The elements of traditional prejudice of the three major ethnic groups – Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba – continue to ignite enmity, distrust, and hatred. The three groups have remained incontestably hostile – forever. Today, there is more animosity than there is collegiality. The three groups are full of expression of self-hate, suspicion, and intolerant of each other.


Our history proves that ethnic unity is more of a dusty artifact of an ancient political arrangement than the outcome of genuine political incorporation or enhanced cohesion among the different ethnic groups. The fragile state of affairs has been held together by a tsunami of lies and misrepresentations in whose wake the country is reeling perpetually. Successive governments were dominated by evil and murderous perpetrators of crimes. Ethnic fragmentation and persistent hotbeds of political criminality were encouraged and sponsored by the rulers. As a result, we were submerged in ethnic hatred and rabid nationalism that swept throughout the nation like a disease.

Lack of a true democracy

The absence of a true democracy to ensure devolution of federal power is a powerful incentive against unity and cooperation. Nigeria is convulsed by internal violence. It can no longer deliver positive political goods to her citizens. The government is fast losing legitimacy. The government has become illegitimate in the eyes and hearts of a growing plurality of 180 million Nigerians. Nigeria sinks deeper and deeper into chaos and calamity. The north-south divide remains the greatest obstacle to a strengthened democracy and a workable union. We're battling economic confusion, continued corruption, prolonged poverty, and sustained mismanagement. The scale of corruption dwarfs any brazen robbery of public treasury in recent memory. Our world has been turned into a medieval hellscape. Corruption flourishes on unusually destructive scale. Our corrupt ruling class mostly invest their loots overseas, not at home, making the economic failure of the country much more acute.

Our rulers siphon funds from the state coffers. They dip directly into the coffers of the shrinking state to pay for lavish residences and palaces, extensive overseas travel, and privileges and perquisites that feed their greed. Nigeria has failed to grow economically and its citizens have failed to flourish. For many years, Nigerians have been trapped in an irreversible debilitating cycle of poverty and hopelessness. The paralysis of our democratic structures has illuminated further the mockery and the failure of our democracy. The twice forgotten man in Nigeria has always been the poor. The government response to the abject poverty that has defined the lives of the poor is zero. Our political leaders are not chosen on the merit of mass support. Most are selected by god fathers, elevated to position, supplied with resources and, as expected, subjected to the king maker’s control.



The Presidency and the National Assembly are inarticulate giants with uneasy gait, subjected to abuse and confuse in their responses to national issues. Checks and balances that are part of a healthy democracy have been deleted in our system. It’s no surprise that our representative democracy is nothing but a disguise in name. It is no exaggeration to say that there are no legislatures in Nigeria. If they exist at all, they are rubber-stamp machines. Our judiciary is a derivative of the executive rather than being independent. Nigerians know that they cannot rely on the court system for redress or remedy. The mass poor of our people nurtures a healthy suspicion toward these manufactured leaders. It’s an open secret that money is the chief argument these leaders are offering to induce and buy loyalty. These manufactured leaders lack personal integrity, commitment, and ability. Tragically, they’re not fighters for a new life for our people but figureheads of the old.

They are not impressive or illustrious to their constituents. We’re all too familiar with their impotence and remoteness from the problems that have made life unlivable for the people they profess to represent. Many in their constituencies are among the legions of the lost and have been crushed by the weight of many years of poverty. These leaders do not evoke affection, respect, and emulation. Our democracy have slid towards autocracy, maintaining the outward appearance of democracy through elections, but without the rights and institutions that are equally important aspects of a functioning democratic system. Our constitution is not robust enough to promote long-term stability, reduce discontent from minorities against the government, and bolster the fight against corruption.

Our democratic system is based on economic coercion. People are forced to do what they don’t want to do. The effect of this is lack of innovation and technological progress. Our bureaucracy has long ago lost its sense of professional responsibility and exists solely to carry out the order of the executive, and in many ways oppress Nigerians. We have deteriorated or destroyed infrastructures. Our education and health systems and other public facilities are decrepit or neglected. Civil servants are paid late or not at all. Economic opportunity is only for a privileged few. Those around the president or around the governors grow richer while the rest of us starve. Our economic insecurity is engineered by our rulers in order to maximize their own fortunes and their own political and economic power. Unemployment is dangerously high and persistent. Regional inequalities remain the rule. Economic decline is accompanied by a diminished confidence in the federal system. Our currency falls out of favor.

It is common knowledge that nations don’t breakup overnight. The seeds of their destruction are sown deep within their political institutions. Some nations fall as a result of total collapse of institutions. Examples abound: In Afghanistan, after the Soviet withdrawal and hanging of President Mohammed Najibullah from a lamppost. In Sierra Leone, the long Civil War erased all traces of existence of government. This form of slow death of institutional failure is responsible for the sub-living standards in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America in contrast to what obtains in the western world. Nigeria is not going to fall or explode as a result of war and violence, but the refusal or failure to capitalize on the enormous potential for growth and for pursuing a policy that condemned their citizens to a lifetime of poverty.

In the case of Nigeria, and any other failed state, the failure is by design. The institutions are designed to fail by the elites who are the beneficiaries of such design. As we have seen in Nigeria, such elites benefit from rigged political institutions. The system is built on exploitation. And any system propped on exploitation is doomed to fail leading to immeasurable suffering of its citizens. Nigeria is operating on a tilted plain field. The big men get greedy. The elites control the economy. They use their powers to create monopolies and block the entry of new comers. A good example is Dangote cement and salt. The privatized industries end up in the hands of the elites. The privatized power sector is a case in point. These elites with their fraudulent companies received protection from the state, got government contracts, and large bank loans without needing to put up collateral.


The greedy big men and their businesses could be described as “whales.” Their stranglehold on our economy had created huge windfalls for them and blocked opportunities for the vast mass of Nigerians to move out of poverty. A successful economy must have effective government. Law and order and the mechanisms for resolving disputes are possible and applicable in a truly democratic system with apparatus of enforcing the laws. Nigeria is yet to create or operate on a set of nationally respected laws or rules. Without a responsible and responsive central government, there can be no law and order. Without law and order, there can be no real economy. And without a real economy, a country is doomed to fail.

It is too late to save Nigeria

I believe it is too late to save Nigeria. Our union for the past 57 years or so, has produced no progress, no peace, and no prosperity. At this juncture in our history, it's going to be what Allen Buchanan, the author of Secession: The Morality of Political Divorce From Fort Sumter to Lithuania and Quebec calls sauve qui peut secession - “let him save himself who can.” The federal government cannot save the union. It fuels the separatist thinking by being deaf and unresponsive to the cries of the people. The fact that secession is a marginal idea today doesn't mean it won't ever come to pass.


Nigeria is no one nation and it's negotiable. If nothing else cause a mass revolt, corruption epidemic and endemic poverty could yank everything apart. The Old West made up of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Oshun, Ekiti, Edo, and the old Kwara States, have the economic means to support itself as an independent country – Oduduwa Republic. Rather than fight the inevitable, the federal government should toss out the idea of Nigeria is not negotiable. I believe the best option is for the three major ethnic groups to go their separate ways. Yorubas are ready and prepared to go. Nigeria will witness the birth of Oduduwa Republic.

Nigeria is a country divided against itself it cannot stand. Nigeria is virtually bankrupt. The central government is out of control. The clamor for separation is the manifestation of a nation grounded as it were, without no hope of moving forward after 57 years. Our slavish loyalty to the central government that takes over everything must end. All constitutional methods should be exhausted before the Yoruba people invoke the principle of self-determination. Our 57 years of stagnation, suffering, oppression, exclusion, fear and insecurity would be our guide. Sentiments may mislead us. The deep disdain for the federal government really spurs the agitation for separation: it is bloated, inefficient, ineffective, unresponsive, irresponsible, and lopsided. If Nigeria was a business, it would have folded decades ago. The sad truth is that it can never be fixed. It has gotten worse. It would continue to get worse. There is no ray of hope in the horizon.

The Old West peaked as a region many decades ago – first in everything progressive. You know them I don't need to list them. The type of Constitution we operate and the kind of federalism we practice made it possible for the breeding of a generation of crooks, thieves, hooligans, touts, jejune, and other abominable personalities as professional politicians that run the center and the states. The federal government is nothing but a ball and chain around the legs of progressives. The Old West should separate and leave the regressive and backward looking federal government to continue to wallow in pettiness and self destruction. Our separation from the rest of the country is in accord with the principle of self-determination. By going our separate ways, I believe we could dramatically do away with the tension, hatred, jealousies, acrimonious rancor, hostility, among the three main ethnic groups. To continue to force the three groups to live together under one nation is dangerous and undesirable. Let's take the pressure out of the balloon asap and try not to force-fill it beyond its breaking point.

Our separation is not illegal. We would separate with the approval of other part or parts of the federation which will like to leave as well. We'll leave legally and peacefully with airtight conviction not only to our Yoruba people, but to the rest of the country. The Constitution does not explicitly prohibit separation. The present arrangement of the federal system makes no sense because it keeps away real power and real responsibility from both the state and local levels which are closer to the individual voter, and may more readily be held truly responsible. The crazy-guilt patchwork of the federal government is insane to say the least. We have failed through meaningful moves such as the National Convention which would have addressed the present madness as to structure and power. If majority of Nigerians believes in democracy, that power resides in the citizens, then separation should be a real option.

Yorubas are just plain disgusted with the lame responses to problems that Abuja seems undisturbed. We are sick and tired of Abuja's constant state of do-nothing. Nigerians in general and Yorubas in particular, are slowly becoming aware that there is a better way to live and this is not it. Yorubas have suffered a lot from the hands of monopolists of the central government. I believe there is a very strong case for Oduduwa Republic. I recall with sadness the assassination, murder, persecution, and incarceration of majority of Yorubas who were NADECO members by the brute dictator Sanni Abacha. To cap it all, the first ever freest and fairest election in Nigeria won by a Yoruba – MKO Abiola – was annulled by Hausa-Fulani because a Yoruba won the election. As anyone who has been through divorce knows, the ultimate goal of being free from the other person is the huge motivator to get it done. We're already three nations – separate, hostile, and unequal – that happens to live on the same continent! And we just can't stand one another.

Our separation will not lead to another civil war. Times are different now. We should be discussing how to dismantle the country and let each group go its own way instead of advocating for a restructure that will be diluted and watered down, that will not make any difference at the end of the day. As a nation, we have gone down the wrong path with all that's wrong with bad central government. For the Yoruba people, we would act to realize the only option that looks viable and doable to take our destiny on our hands. And that's having our own country.

This opinion first appeared in Sahara Reporters and was written by Bayo Oluwasanmi.

Republican Donald Trump stunned the world on Tuesday by defeating heavily favored Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, ending eight years of Democratic rule and sending the United States on a new, uncertain path.

A wealthy real-estate developer and former reality TV host, Trump rode a wave of anger toward Washington insiders to defeat Clinton, whose gold-plated establishment resume includes stints as a first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state.

WHO IS TRUMP?
