Same qatar and saudi format.
Talk, talk, balabaloooooooo, same result.
Tinubu is a curse on the land of Nigeria.

This type of comment is very wrong. Please don't say this to anybody no matter how much u hate them. It's important to communicate respectfully, even when we disagree with someone. Consider this analogy: if you were on a flight and the pilot was not the one you had hoped for, it wouldn't be productive to curse them for perceived incompetence. Instead, it would be more beneficial to hope for their success and a safe journey. Words have power, and negative words can have unintended consequences. If the plane were to crash after such curses, those who cursed would share the same fate as the pilot, simply because they are also on the plane.

In the same way, our leaders are like pilots, guiding the country, and we are the passengers. It's in our best interest to wish them well, regardless of our confidence in their abilities. By hoping for the best, we contribute to a positive outcome for everyone. May this perspective encourage a change in attitude and foster hope for a better future for us all. Amen.


Peace!

Whoever still takes girlfriend and not wife seriously is in for a long thing. As a man, focus on becoming financially stable and then find a virgin woman and marry. No much stress.

Many of us go like to marry virgin but virgins dey scarce these days. Virgins can mostly be found among underaged girls, thats if you're even lucky to find one.

Lol. "Olōsho Bridesmaids" dey do sendforth for their fellow "Olōsho".

Me I no understand all the things wey Una dey talk about RRS. All I want be say make dem sack the idiōt police officer and send him to where he send him victim to, at least make him go collect the bribe for there.

So is Pāndora Obi.

A very wicked and heartless cone headed Obidient.

Pāndora Obi said something similar. He said "Education is not for the poor".

Am glad you are entirely honest and not biased with your explanation. Nevertheless I suggest the government should take off the stipends they pay for upkeep if it is included in the loan and increase the number of people to get the student loan since they are very close to the finish line.

I appreciate your understanding that the programme is designed to support specific categories of students (primarily those from lower-income backgrounds) rather than the entire population of the estimated 3 million students. So, focusing on 1.2 million students seems reasonable for the moment.

Regarding your suggestion for the government to remove the stipend in order to extend the loan to more than 1.2 million beneficiaries, there are both positive and negative aspects to consider. Let's explore them:

Eliminating the stipend would likely increase the number of beneficiaries, allowing more students to access financial assistance. However, we must recognize that the stipend serves a crucial purpose. It covers essential expenses beyond tuition fees, including daily meals, internet data, study materials, and accommodation. High living costs can be a significant barrier for some students (especially to the beneficiaries who are from the lower-income backgrounds). Without the stipend, they might struggle to afford these basic necessities, leading to their potential dropouts which will be a waste of loan.

Striking the right balance is essential. While expanding the loan's reach is valuable, we must also ensure that students' basic needs are met. That's why the government used a portion of their loan to cover living expenses while still benefiting from the overall financial support to prevent the loan from going to waste, because unintentional dropouts could lead to tuition fees being paid to schools on their behalf while the students or beneficiaries of the loan are absent from school.

In addition, the government likely calculated the loan amount to cover all necessary educational expenses. Excluding the stipend might disrupt this balance. Professionals involved in programme planning considered the financial challenges students face. Their intention was to create a comprehensive support system. Gracias!

Bro where did you get this numbers can you please post it here

It appears that current statistics on the student population in tertiary institutions are not readily available. However, for the sake of discussion, let's estimate the total number at around 3 million. This figure include approximately 1.8 million undergraduates at universities, 400,000 postgraduate students, and a combined 800,000 students attending polytechnics and Colleges of Education (NCE). While these numbers are approximations, a quick verification through a search engine should confirm that they are not significantly off the mark. Given these estimates, a financial aid programme designed to benefit 1.2 million students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds seems adequate for the moment. Nevertheless, as the student population grows beyond the current estimates, there will be a need to increase the number of beneficiaries accordingly.


Salaam!

Blaze14k:
Are you serious only 1.2mil beneficiaries? What is the essence of the student loan. What sort systematic scam is this? If you divide 1.2 mil by 37 states you get 33000 in each state. That means only 33000 will get the student loan in each state.

Lol. Na wah for u Ooo! Are you cognizant of the fact that the collective number of students in tertiary institutions, encompassing both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in public schools, is approximately 2.6 to 3 million? Within this diverse student body, individuals are classified across various socioeconomic strata, including lower class, the middle class, upper-middle class, and upper class. It is important to note that the proposed educational loan scheme is designed specifically for students hailing from ”the lower economic tier”. The programme aims to cater to about 1.2 million beneficiaries, which is anticipated to be a sufficient number to address the needs of this demographic.


Peace!

The current discourse is disheartening. You believe that the institution of marriage is diminishing in importance, and yet, your hogwash is dominated by irrelevant data from Western nations. This raises a critical question: for how long will Africa's path be dictated by Western influence? Our identity seems to be a mirror reflection of Western norms, setting a precedent for our societal standards. If, hypothetically, a significant portion of the Western population (let's say 70% of them) were to embrace homosexuality, would that render heterosexuality obsolete in Africa?

It is time for Africa to carve its own identity and lead rather than follow. Are we going to continue on this trajectory indefinitely? The acceptance of homosexuality, Babymama etc by some Africans are not rooted in our cultural values but rather in the glorification such acts receive from the West.

Is it not within our power to challenge forces that threaten our cultural heritage, values, and traditions? We must stand against the tide of Westernization, uphold the sanctity of marriage, and preserve our family structures and values. We should not let the challenges faced by the West become our own.


Peace!

We all know that it's Tinubu Dss who disguised like ESN is behind those killings. Esn dwell in the bush not in the town.

In the same way, Northerners defended Boko Haram out of ignorance. They thought Boko Haram were their allies until they discovered that the handshake had gone beyond the elbow. They later sought help from the government against them, but it was already too late. Nigerians don't easily take blame for their wrongdoing; they'll rather blame someone else instead. And the right person to put the blame on was Goodluck Jonathan for not ending the insurgency for them. They voted him out, replaced him with Muhammadu Buhari, yet that didn't stop the insurgency after he did 8 years in office because the insurgency was politicized. Keep doing the same to yourselves in the Southeast, and you will soon suffer the same fate as the North.

The future can be predicted based on the diligence or lack thereof in leadership. While economic experts are human and their assumptions are not usually far-fetched, I believe that the 2024 budget benchmarks of N750 by the FG and N800 by NASS will likely be the target range.

Economic experts, despite their humanity and fallibility, often have "insights" that are not entirely out of reach. As for the 2024 budget benchmarks of N750 set by the FG and N800 by NASS seem like plausible targets and your observations are equally "noteworthy". Nonetheless, as I’ve mentioned before, my optimism is anchored not in "speculative predictions", but in "the tangible efforts" our leaders are making. Only time will reveal the outcomes.

I think we should be discussing the future! Like what do you think fx rate will be on 29/05/2024? I suspect whatever rate it is there’ll be strong political backing to keep stable for a while—what do you think?

I have a modest grasp of the events of yesterday and today, yet the future remains a mystery to me. I’m not suited for discussions or predictions about the future FX rate; such topics don’t pique my interest. I'd rather defer to the economic experts for forecasts. What I think we hold for the future, after our leaders gave their all in the present, is "unwavering optimism". I trust that all will be well with our nation, its leadership, our currency, and the economy.

In response to your curiosity about the future, particularly the FX rate on 29/05/2024, I must admit that my crystal ball is a bit cloudy on the matter. While I share your suspicion that there might be a concerted effort to maintain stability, especially with political winds at play, I prefer to anchor my hopes not in "predictions", but in "the diligent work" our leaders set forth today. May the collective efforts of our leaders steer us towards a prosperous and stable tomorrow."

Obviously this is were demand and supply plays effect. The cbn let the market forces to determine the strength of the naira which brought about inflation. This helped the cbn to generate some cash through ways and means.

Had I not challenged your initial assertion that the dollar’s decline was due to the use of 1 billion dollars from our foreign exchange reserves, you might still be promoting that erroneous view. Nonetheless, your latter explanation appears more reasonable, which I won’t contest. It’s crucial to maintain consistency and coherence in our statements. This is important because those who read your first comment and miss both "my rebuttal" and "your revised opinion" might accept it as an absolute truth, potentially leading to the spread of misinformation among the youths.

Bro it's not up to 8 months since the dollar crashed from 1900 to 1130 as of today. The cbn was simply buying time for dangote refinery to start work that is why they have pumped money they made through the inflation to crash the dollar. Don't forget it brought a negative effect on the economy

In your initial comment, you attributed the dollar’s decline to the deployment of 1 billion dollars from our "foreign exchange reserves". However, your subsequent statement suggests that the dollar’s fall was due to channeling funds generated from "inflation". These conflicting statements highlight a "discrepancy" in your explanations.

Blaze14k:


Ain't you aware? You guys are not paying attention https://www.thecable.ng/nigerias-fx-reserves-fell-by-1-2bn-in-18-days/amp/

Please consider a different rationale. The Naira has been performing robustly for approximately six weeks prior to the release of this news. Furthermore, a sum of 1 billion dollars is insufficient to stabilize the Naira. According to Punch Newspapers, the CBN once expended $11.24 billion in a span of seven months to bolster the Naira as reported on December 1, 2022. Therefore, your presumptions appear to be unfounded.

Alexlalax1:
Their official mantra "some people are not happy about this news" what is there to be happy for? For Christ sake, baba go slow left dollar at the rate of #700. They should bring it down to that price first before they can start reducing it. Then, "some people" will be happy about this news.

No matter what Tinubu accomplishes, it seems it will never bring you joy, especially since your favoured candidate, Obi, isn’t the president. Your discontent will likely persist because our collective vote "will never" align with your "personal preference".

Why are people with names like yours so draft?

I'm so sorry for you.

U are the daft one here. Pāndora Obi's son is gay. Google and ogle!

DenreleDave:


We know you are a man, it is just some mischeivous women that are jealous of you. You as a man is even more prettier and sexier than them and that is why they are jealous of you.

On behalf of all men in Nigeria, we stand with you as the brotherhood.

Peter Obi son is a gay and he is not hiding it, why should bobrisky an ordinary cross dresser be harassed in this manner?

We love you bob

This is injustice and we will not accept this judgement.

That's why I will never vote for him. Because once Pāndora Obi becomes the president of this country, LGBTQ community will use his gay son to promote that Nonsense in Nigeria with impunity. I hold our religion, culture, and traditional values in high esteem.

UGM, Biafra Revolutional Army, ESN are already killing u people. If Nigerian Army should add to it, it will lead to the extinction of Igbo race.

This lady want to hammer by fire by force by demanding 50 million dollars after threatening to take legal action against BBC.

She should have told BBC to do a retraction or correction by first informing them like, "this is the amount I was found to have stolen and not 30 billion."Thereafter she can then threaten them with legal action if they don't do the retraction and correction.

She gree admit say she steal money ne?

The person wey sell expired drug for am na "Obidient". Na dem dey prefer to give people substandard (fake or mediocre) things (including boreholes). Them go say: "if u no like am, then go give them the standard or quality one".

uniquetechng:
The quality of a borehole has nothing to do with the beauty of the structure but the depth of the borehole itself which determine the quality of water available to the community. It's baffling that many Nigerians ( including the so called educated ones) are too dumb to know this, you can contract a group of local borehole dredger to dig a borehole for you at the rate of 450k with beautiful structures while another person will contract a proper dredging company to do the same job at the rate of 4m without a beautiful structures.
The results will always be different that's why you see people complain of the water in their homes not been suitable for cooking while another compound in the same street drinks the water from their borehole.

Anything to defend Pāndora Obi. So u mean na Pāndora Obi own reach 4 million naira abi?
