treesun: The Nigerian government has announced that candidates seeking admission to study education-related courses and agriculture programmes outside engineering disciplines will no longer be required to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The new policy, which takes effect from the 2026/2027 admission cycle, was unveiled on Monday during the annual admission policy meeting organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Abuja.
Speaking at the meeting, the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, disclosed that candidates with at least four credit passes in relevant subjects would now be eligible to seek admission into Colleges of Education without taking the UTME.
According to the minister, affected candidates would still be required to register with JAMB for documentation and admission processing despite being exempted from the examination.
He explained that their academic credentials would be screened, verified and certified before admission letters are issued through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), in line with existing regulations.
Confirming the development in a statement posted on its official X handle, JAMB said: “Candidates seeking admissions into Education Programs and Agriculture non-Engineering Courses are now exempted from UTME.”
The annual policy meeting organised by JAMB is traditionally used to determine admission guidelines, cut-off marks and other procedures for universities, polytechnics and colleges of education across Nigeria.
Although exemptions from the UTME already exist for some categories of candidates, including Direct Entry applicants, the latest decision is considered one of the broadest waivers introduced into Nigeria’s tertiary admission process in recent years.
The development is expected to significantly alter admission processes into education-related programmes and non-engineering agriculture courses, while also creating alternative pathways into tertiary education outside the conventional UTME route.

WHERE TO BUY ORIGINAL BENUE & ABUJA YAM SEEDLINGS IN LAGOS-NIGERIA?
Yam is considered the most important food staple in West Africa where 70% of the total yams produced worldwide comes from. Every year, festivals and rituals are carried out in different parts of the region to mark the arrival of the new yam. Apart from these festivals and rituals, there is huge profit in yam farming business as discussed in the previous article here. Five hundred by five hundred meters size of farmland could yield you 50,000 tubers of yam which is valued at N10 million ($50,000) at one dollars per yam.
This is a golden opportunity for any serious farmer who would like to take advantage of this season to cultivate yam in large quantity. Apart from selling locally, yam can be exported to the United States of America, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Germany, and even Japan. While Nigeria is the major producer of yam in the world followed by Ivory Coast, Ghana is in the other hand the major exporter of yams, accounting for over 90% of total yams exported from West Africa annually.
Why have Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon not been fully involved in the exportation of yams, leaving the opportunity only in the hands of Ghana? I think ignorance may have played a role in this. Yam farming is important, exporting it is also important.
I wonder why we keep overlooking this very important farming business opportunity. For those who are serious about doubling their investment this year through yam farming, here are step by step how to start yam farming anywhere you can find suitable land. This article focused on “White Gunea Yam”(Dioscorea rotundata) the popular species cultivated in West Africa.
Locate Suitable Farmland For Yam Farming
Yams prefer growing in an upland and they should be planted in a well-drained field. Optimum yields are obtained from sandy loam and silt loam soil although acceptable yields are also obtained from clay loam soils, particularly those high in organic matter. While some yams does relatively well on stony soil, it is however not advisable to plant yam on stony hard soil.
Forest lands in most tropical region offers ideal environment for growing yam both in soil quality and climate conditions.
Preparation Of The Land
Properly clear the bush and burn the grasses with fire at the appropriate time. Yam is best planted within the months of February and April when the rainy season is just beginning. These are the best periods for land preparation.
After the bush had been cleared, make hips of loose soil of about one meter in height and one meters apart. Ridged bed types are also good for yam planting. When the latter is used, the ridges should be constructed one meters apart. In the case of sloping or rolling fields, construction of ridges should follow the contour to minimize soil erosion. This is essential in yam farming.
While making the ridges, it is important to remove any hard objects that could hinder the growth of the yam tuber.
Preparation Of Setts
Setts are whole tubers or tuber that is cut in pieces used for planting. If the tuber is small, it can be planted whole, but if it is big, it has to be cut in pieces to the size of 60g to 100g. As a rule, the bigger the sett used, the higher is the expected yield but shouldn’t be too big, else, you will be wasting resources.
Setts should be taken from healthy tubers of healthy plants. Appropriate sett size are not sliced while larger tubers are sliced into the desired sett size so that each sett has sufficient skin surface area. Thus, four types of setts are obtained and are named according to their positions on the tuber as follows: head setts, middle setts and tail setts for the tuber pieces and whole setts for the whole tubers.
Cut sides of the setts are treated with ash or with fungicide and air dried. After air drying, setts are either pre-sprouted or planted directly.
Pre-Sprouting Of Setts
Because the emergence period of most freshly prepared setts in the field lasts from three to twelve weeks, it is desirable to pre-sprout the setts before they are planted. This procedure assures the emergence of setts when planted and minimizes expenses on weeding before sett emergence.
To pre-sprout a sett, a shallow ditch is dug in a clear shaded area under trees, under bananas, or under a shed constructed for the purpose. Setts are placed side by side in the ditch and covered with dry grasses or dry banana leaves. In cases where no ditch is dug, the setts can be placed side by side on the ground instead.
Setts are grouped according to type. For setts cut from large tubers, the orientation is either skin up or crown sideways. Setts can be covered with a thin layer of soil and are watered at least once a week until all the setts have produced sprouts.
With sett pre-sprouting, it may be desired to stagger planting and land preparation since setts do not sprout at the same time. In general, whole setts and head setts sprout ahead of other sett types. Planting pre-sprouted setts can, however, also be done at one time.
1. Preparation of pre-sprouted setts for staggered planting.
To prevent sprouts from becoming too long, setts that have already sprouted are removed from the pre-sprouting seedbed and placed on a platform in a shady place. The process is repeated every week until the desired number of sprouted setts is obtained. The sprouted setts on the platform are not watered. Setts should be planted before sprouts become very long.
The same procedure is performed for setts intended for the second and succeeding plantings. This is especially the case for yam farming in West Africa.
2. Preparation of pre-sprouted setts for single planting.
The procedure followed in single planting is essentially the same as that used in preparing setts for staggered planting. The former is done only after most, if not all, setts have produced sprouts. By this time some sprouts which may have grown quite long should be trimmed before the setts are planted.
Planting Procedures
The usual planting time for white yam is March to April, depending on the time the tuber dormancy is broken, as indicated by the sprouting of tubers under storage and upon start of rain in a particular area. This means that you have to start the pre-sprouting process well ahead of the planting time, at least for 3 weeks
Like I said before, the distance between the planted yam should be 1m x 1m and at a depth of about 10cm. When planting coincides with a dry spell, setts are planted in any orientation about 15 cm deep if the field will not be mulched. About 20,000 to 27,778 setts are needed for one hectare of farmland.
Pre-sprouted setts. Setts are usually planted at the start of rain if the field cannot be irrigated or will not be mulched. The same planting distance and depth for non-pre-sprouted setts are used. When planting, setts should be oriented so that sprouts are up. To achieve this, the cut surface has to face the ground.
In staggered planting, the field is divided into four up to six sections – a section for a batch of setts ready for planting. The size of each section and the time each section is prepared is guided by the rate of sprouting of setts.
Mulching The Ridges
In order to reduce soil temperature, conserve soil moisture and suppress weed growth, it is preferable to mulch the field where the yams are planted. Dry coconut fronds, corn stalks, rice straw and other similar materials may be used as mulch. If rice straw or similar material that rot readily is used, the mulch is made thick (about 10 cm) so that it will not rot completely within four or five months.
For yam farming and to further to protect the soil from excessive loose of moisture, mulching tends to add some nutrient to the soil from the decaying materials used.
Weed Control
The number of times a yam farm needs to be weeded depends on the use of pre-sprouted setts, the application of mulch and the rate of weed growth. If non-pre-sprouted setts are used and the field is not mulched, two to three weeding operations are needed before the yam canopy covers the space between rows to partially suppress weed growth. If pre-sprouted setts are used and the field is mulched, at most only two weedings performed about two months apart are needed.
Handtools are the only method I recommend. Use of other methods such as animal powered plows are dangerous to the plans as the vines may get damaged in the process. Use of herbicides may be acceptable in some areas.
Replanting (Replacing Dead Yams) Some amount of sett mortality can be expected, particularly in while Guinea yam when non-presprouted setts are used for planting. Thus replanting is done, usually about two months after the original planting.
Hills with no sprouts are checked to see if there are rotten setts which should be removed and replaced with new ones. Unsprouted setts that did not rot should not be replaced because they still can produce sprouts later on.
Staking The Yam Vines
Plants are staked before vines start crawling on the ground. The recommended stake length is five to ten meters and a stake to every plant. Bamboo poles are the most desirable staking material, similar material that can support the yam vines for at least seven months can be used as stakes. There are various methods of staking, three of the more popular ones are as follows:
Trellis method. This stake setup is not very stable and requires more materials to support the stakes (posts and tie wire). However, weeding and hilling up operations using animal-drawn implements can be done easily under this setup.
Modified trellis method. With this method, ground spaces under the stake arch need not be weeded as the foliage becomes dense. Also, stakes formed in this manner provide stable support. However, weeding and hilling up operations that utilize animal-drawn implements cannot be done under the arches.
Pyramid method. This staking method has the advantages and disadvantages of the modified trellis method. In addition, it requires fewer, though sturdier, materials for stake construction and requires lesser amount of labor to construct. On the other hand, it has an additional disadvantage because yams grown under this method usually yield lower than those grown under the modified trellis method of yam farming.
Training The Vines
The water yam (Dioscorea alata) vine twines to the right while that of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) twines to the left. When vines start crawling on the ground, they are trained to climb their respective stakes. They are trained again when long branches start crossing the rows or when weeding operation is about to be done.
Fertilizer Application
A hectare of water yam is able to remove about 128 kg nitrogen, 17 kg phosphorous and 162 kg potassium from the soil. This represents more or less its fertilizer requirements. In the case of white yam, no information is available regarding the amount of nutrients it can remove from the soil. However, like other yams, its fertilizer requirements should be similar to that of water yam.
The level of soil fertility in the field and the amount of fertilizer that need to be added can be determined by submitting the soil samples to the any agricultural institute or to IITA for analysis. The assistance of the local Farm Management Technician should be sought regarding this.
Application of inorganic fertilizer. The recommended amount of fertilizer is split into two, one-half applied about one month after emergence and the other half applied about two months after the first application. The band method of fertilizer application is used, with the fertilizer being placed about 10 cm away from the plants.
Application of compost. Yams respond well to organic fertilizers like compost – a mixture of decayed organic matter composed of plant parts and animal manures. The compost is mixed with the soil while the field is being prepared or it is placed just below the spot where setts are to be planted.
Covering Exposed Tubers
As tubers elongate rapidly towards the end of the growing period of the plants, some tubers tend to heave, thereby causing them to be exposed to the sun. Heavy rains also expose the tubers. Exposed tubers should be covered with soil to prevent them from greening. Greening could make it to become inedible in some cases.
Harvesting Time And Method
Yams are ready for harvest when its foliage is already yellowing or drying up. The yellowing or drying up period of the foliage usually starts in late November and lasts until February the following year. Tubers, especially those intended to be used as setts for next season’s planting are harvested at the later part of the period. Tubers intended for consumption or for the market are sometimes harvested earlier, even before foliage yellowing sets in.
A hoe or a similar handtool is used to dig around the tuber to loosen it from the soil. Then the tuber is lifted and clinging soil particles are removed. The vine is cut at the base to complete the harvesting.
For sandy soil, sturdy stick sharpened at one end is sometimes used to dig out the tuber. For clay soil and for varieties with deeply buried tubers, other specialized harvesters like shovel may be used. Whatever tool is to be used to harvest the tubers, it is important that care should be exercised so as not to injure yam while digging as that may reduce the market value and hasten it’s decay.
After tubers are cleaned, they are collected and placed in rattan baskets or bamboo or wooden crates lined with soft materials such as banana leaves, paper or grass straw. Healthy and diseased tubers are placed in separate containers. The tubers are arranged in the container in two to four layers, depending on tuber size, and a soft material that can serve as cushion is placed between layers and in the spaces between tubers in a layer. The container is then covered with paper or banana leaves and a string net is woven over the mouth of the container if the tubers are to be transported immediately to the market. No cover is provided for the container if the tubers are to be transported to a nearby storage place.
When you are done harvesting, take your product to the market and make sales. Yam farming is lucrative as yam is a very important commodity in the market and sells very fast.
We sell sprouted yam seedlings, yam setts for planting, in Lagos-Nigeria..
luluosas: Finally harvested my yams. Though I didn't get what I was expecting, but this trial gave me an idea of what to do should I consider yam sack farming again. One of the things that ran against me was the none spacing of the sacks, as I compressed them into a very tight corner in my compound.
Another thing was the fact that sun light was not penetrating across due to the fact that the up totally covered. Anyway, it's a good try. What's your take
luluosas: OBSERVATION: I don't know what really is the problem as this is my first attempt in sack yam farming, but I have been observing that some of my yams are not doing well.
Some of them have started shedding their leaves and this ought not to be so, because they are barely 3 months old, as I planted the first sets on March 18th, 2023. So, why do they appear to be dying at this early stage?
The way leaves are getting yellow and falling off is giving me serious concern. Please, do you know what is wrong? How do I remedy this problem? These pictures were taken 2 nights ago, 14th June, 2023.
luluosas: INVESTMENT: it cost me only N22,500 for the 60 tubers. I bought the first 30 pieces at N10,500, while the second 30 pieces was bought at N12,000. That's basically all the experience I carried out as I sand filled the bags myself
Caaz: 10days ago I sack planted 40 sacks of yam seedling on top a sewage pit....the job was very tedious and actually I fell under the weather.
Only for this my rose the nosy neighbor to corner me and asked me to take them of that the weight of the sands are going to sink the sewage pit.
I rejected her verdict.because it was recently plastered by me for this sole purpose.
She sad because she did same and hers collapsed .i told her that mine is entirely different.thanked her then walked away.
Interesting to chip in that...this same nosy neighbor has this penchant for finishing all my veggies for free.
I really want to know if the sewage is really going to collapse due to the fact that it's raining season.
@Caaz
To be on the safer side, simply move some of the 40 sacks away from the sewage outlet to reduce the total weight. Your neighbor's intuition might be right about an imminent collapse of that sewage outlet based off of her own experience.
Second, can the biggest GMG bags (aka giant Ghana-Must-Go bags) be used to grow yams as well or is it ONLY "sacks" that can be used?
Promotes Japa to UK…Collect enough money from people….After sometime, change the immigration laws to what won’t favour the immigrants…Send those immigrants away eventually..
After sometime, they’ll promote Japa again and repeat the same cycle..
Sha, I don’t blame UK o. There’s no way you’ll be hearing that some Africans do sell their properties to Japa come UK, and you’ll expect UK not to extract as much as possible… UK wey be king of extractors..
"UK wey be king of EXTRACTORS."
That cracked me up here...
Did I hear David Cameron refer to one African country years ago as "fantastically corrupt?"... Mtcheew.
Tinyemeka: 1. It was councillorship elections. Councillors are responsible for deliberating issues in their respective councils, such as street potholes filling, budgeting for the council, policing matters, etc. They have no powers over immigration policies. General elections fall due by 2029, except the Prime Minister gets forced to call an early election.
2. The election was not held throughout the country
3. Some of the winners under the Reform party are not fit to hold office. For example one winner is currently on holiday in Thailand, as he said he was no longer interested in running, another winner resigned immediately upon winning, while another is nowhere to be found. Many of the Reform winners (includes kids who just finished their A-levels) just went in to try their luck and catch cruise. Dumb voters just cast votes for Reform even when they did not know much about the candidate.
4. So you have the same phenomenon where naïve voters led by "beer-parlour a.k.a pub experts" were casting votes for Reform, even when they did not know who the candidate was, just like in Nigeria where voters are led by 5kg packs of rice and loaves of bread to cast votes for party logos, even when common sense should tell them that the candidate would be a massive fail. In the UK, the Reform voters simply swallow the immigration propaganda fed to them by Nigel Farage. The same knave who led them to Brexit, for which they're still paying the price and reconsidering their decision.
Those are the nicely put, finer details of the elections in the bolded.
360who: Kai, you are too smart. In fact, you need to hold a seminar for Nigerians in the UK becos the mumism is too much amongst them. Most have already bought houses in a nation they weren't sure was going to give them their UK passport but when they were told (by the smart ones) to invest all their earnings in their country they proved stubborn. They refused to see the world's hostility going on towards blacks. They only saw what they chose to see.
A lot of Nigerians will be returning home to nothing. Only a small percentage remembered to invest back home, the others swore that Naija was a sh*thole and they would never return.
They even swore that they wouldn't leave until they made back the money they spent to arrive in the UK.
It's such a sad story. Especially cos a lot of families were broken by japa. From cheating, to paternity fraud... deportation of partners, selfish planning, refusal to return together etc.
My boy's marriage packed up too, when he paid for his wife to relocate to the UK.
treasure2: Immigration fears grow among Africans after UK poll results
Wale Elegbede
Fear and uncertainty are spreading across African communities in Britain following the strong showing by the anti-immigration leaning Nigel Farage led Reform UK in recent local council elections.
Across cities including Birmingham, Manchester and London, many African migrants say the election outcome has triggered fresh anxiety about their future in the country, with some already considering relocation plans amid fears of tougher immigration policies and rising hostility towards foreigners.
“It feels like the atmosphere is changing very quickly,” said Chinedu Okafor, a Nigerian care worker based in Birmingham. “A lot of us are already discussing Plan B. Some are talking about Canada while others want to return home if things become unbearable.”
Anti-immigration is ongoing in many so-called developed countries of the world (Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, SA, Ghana, Kenya, UAE, etc), with many of their folks getting tired of being swooped upon by especially undocumented foreigners...Those who are naive about these FACTS and stubbornly want to leave their countries of birth should keep that in mind. Period.
Orion2603: Well the world as change I and my partner are both AS, I had run the test to confirm if our baby is AS or SS or AA. We have to do the test when the pregnancy was 8 to 13 weeks old. The test cost 550k. We lucky enough our baby is AS. I will upload thr test result later if you really doubt. This. AS and AS can Marry.
N550k is a lot of money to do that genotype test on the fetus BUT it's worth it for peace of mind
Lovelink1991: The lovers were warn against getting married after their Genotype (AS AS) will produced children with sickle cell, they ignored the Doctor's advice and still went ahead and marry.

adenigga: Oakland’s City Council has voted that a Nigerian medical doctor, Matthew Bernard, and his wife will pay a fine of nearly $1m for felling 38 legally protected trees on and around their Claremont Avenue property in the United States.
A California-based media platform, KQED, reported that more than 20 residents at a public hearing on Tuesday demanded enforcement of Oakland’s tree protection laws.
They argued that the leafy canopies of the trees in the area were important for wildfire prevention, public health and environmental equity.
Diaspora Tales reported last month that Bernard and his partner, Lynn Warner, said they removed trees from their property on an arborist’s advice.
At the hearing on Tuesday, the Nigerian medical expert told the council that the trees removed from his property nearly four years ago were “dead, dying, leaning,” or in “hazardous condition.”
The city, however, disagreed and fined Bernard and Warner $915,135.40 and placed a claim on their property that would prevent them from developing or selling the land until the fine was paid.
Defending the fine, a community tree specialist, Erys Gagnez, said, “Trees of that size are not commercially available for replacement. Even with replanting, it will take decades, even centuries, to restore the ecological and protective functions that were lost. The scale of the fine reflects this reality.”
: My family is on a stock up budget of 50k monthly about 20k weekly out of pocket expenses for food,soups,snacks,take outs etc that brings us to a total of about 110k or roughly 120k roughly $90 a month......if you divide that by 30days,you have 4k per day for a family of 5.
A 1/4 bag of rice will take us a whole month,beans,garri,semo,amala,yam when its surplus,pasta,noodles,sweet potatoes which us quite cheap,plantain when surplus,pepper of 10k would last 2 weeks......Ile epo market is quite close to me and I often drive through mile 12 several times in a month where pepper,onions,potatoes and yam are quite cheap.
Provisions golden morn/corn flakes,oats,custard,eggs,sugar,milk
Snacks like biscuits,shawama,meat pie,bole,puff puff or donuts.
Proteins....majorly fish,pork,eggs.....we have really reduced our beef consumption due to its high cost which I always find annoying byvthe way......goat meat and turkey on few occasions.
Minimum wage in america is about $7.95 per hour while in Nigeria its about 70k a month but based on my observation the lowest income family should be bringing home at least 200k monthly in Nigeria as dual income......I see this and I have studied this.
HacheNoire: The problem with Tope is that, she is not familiar with world dynamics and her scope is only confined to Nigeria!
Towards inflation, Nigeria is not the only country being impacted!
I am glad this is an open forum where we have far and wide personalities. In the major countries where Nigerians immigrate to, be it Canada, US or the UK, same question will always trigger same answers .
$10,000 was worth much more in 2015 than in 2026 right inside the US, and same applies to Canada and the UK.
Let use an essential commodity like petrol in the UK. The pump price was averaging 104p/litre in 2015 but now 157p/litre. This reflects across all boards and even higher on some other commodities.
A brand new base Toyota Corolla in the US cost $17k in 2015, it’s now $23k in 2026, and that’s a basic car for the common man to commute. Factoring interest rate in 2015 is far behind that of 2026, you know it’s a kill
No country in our bracket is making it easy for its citizens. These are international economic forces impacting the world.
I did will accept blames on behalf of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), that we have not moved towards self dependency. But that cannot be done in 8, 15 or 20 years? Change is a gradual and consistent process.
Our Great country has suffered from military and incompetent civilian rule. We have big challenges and why the global inflation is impacting us the most.
One thing I can guarantee is that, with the trajectory His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is steering Nigeria towards, it’s is guaranteed the best days are close, based on the sacrifices we making today.
The pain is enormous and that I am aware and also feel, but the bigger wins and accomplishments lies ahead.
Our generation will be remembered for the sacrifices we made towards a better Nigeria.
The bolded is succinctly stated.
However, 'Tope Fasua who's from Ekiti State (with a renowned father who was a veteran politician) is a "he" NOT a she. 'Tope is an respected Economist by profession and was a Public Affairs analyst among other things he did for years.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Economic Affairs, Tope Fasua, has said a modest Nigerian family can still feed for several days with N10,000 despite rising food prices and growing economic hardship across the country. Fasua stated this while speaking during a members-only Coffee Hangout organised by Kay Hikers Club in Abuja.
A video from the event shared on the club’s official Instagram page on Thursday captured a tense exchange between the presidential aide and a female participant who lamented the rising cost of living, insecurity and declining purchasing power among Nigerians. The attendee questioned the affordability of basic food items, saying many citizens now struggle to meet daily needs.
“Are you aware that you can no longer buy tomato ₦500 from the market as you used to 10, 15 years ago? Are you also aware that the basic thing, as basic as food is now something you have to beg for?” she asked. She also linked increasing street crime and insecurity to worsening economic conditions and poor earnings among low-income Nigerians.
Responding, Fasua argued that Nigerians should avoid exaggerating the country’s economic situation, while urging households to manage their finances more carefully.
He admitted that prices of goods had increased but maintained that prudent spending could help families cope with the situation. “A modest family will feed for several days with ₦10,000,” he said.
Fasua further advised Nigerians to embrace more disciplined spending habits. “You will know how to cut your goat according to your cloth. You can go to the market, I go to the market too. I have customers in Utako market, in Wuse market. I like shopping. I like going to the market. I test things. You can buy foodstuff which you cook at home,” he added.
The presidential aide also said government could not satisfy every public expectation, stressing that citizens must adapt to current economic realities. “I know things are expensive, more expensive than they were before. But if we want sensation, government will never win,” he said.
Fasua also rejected comparisons between Nigeria’s living conditions and those of the United States, insisting that local purchasing power should be the standard for measuring economic realities.
“We are not in the US. Everybody has to deal with his own currency. That’s what is called purchasing power parity. $10 will go so far in this country but in the US you can do very little with it.”

Nice2023: AS A a WOMAN, HERE ARE 10 MEN YOU MUST NEVER MARRY:
1. A mummy’s boy.
2. A Yahoo boy.
3. A man who is more than 7 years older than you.
4. A man who has been divorced at least twice.
5. A man who demands 50/50 in finances but refuses 50/50 in chores.
6. A man who wants you to get pregnant before he marries you.
7. A man who supports APC, this present government.
8. A man who despises his mother, no matter how evil she is.
9. A man who has no voice of his own and constantly seeks validation from others.
10. A man who has no space of his own and still lives under his parents’ roof.
Above all, love God.
#3, #4 and #7 are totally IRRESPONSIBLE and infantile suggestions. An age difference of up to 20 years is still okay with many successful examples after many years of marriage. The Nigerian constitution guarantees freedom of political, religious and social association. Deep intolerance and bigotry from anyone is a sign of metastatic cancer.
The other points in the post are largely correct. Period.
endyuzo: The fastest electric cars in the world have crossed a threshold that combustion engineers spent decades chasing. In 2026, a Croatian hypercar holds more than 20 verified world acceleration records, a Chinese luxury brand is claiming 293 mph, and a daily-driveable Tesla sedan runs the quarter mile in the low 9-second range.
