VP Osinbajo remains one of the most intelligent politicians in Nigeria today.

If the APC will field him in 2023, he has my vote.

I just feel sorry for him for deputizing Buhari, a man who's not fit to be a local government chairman.

Well, that's the price we all have to pay for being Nigerians

Gcodemaster:
We're hoping on Tambuwal in 2023 by God's grace. He'll be another Nigerian to lead the country BTW...

many Northern youths are innovative, but their greedy elders wont let them shine.. i remember sometimes few years ago when Habokkiis designed a PVC pipe LED AA battery using lamp and where hawking it about, i was currious and i bought one, and it was not only very effective it used lesser energy

Young Habokii youth are inventing sucide bomb vest and new drugs to get high by sniffing soak away , gum , and reptile feaces.

After 50 years of Independence, the government of the so called disadvantaged regions ought to have done something to address the situation. You cannot continue to spoon-feed a child and expect that same child to grow, mature and be independent. A student from Abia scores 130 in the Federal Commonwealth Entrance exam, yet it's almost impossible to gain admission in the school of his choice, yet another child from Zamfara will score less than 5 and gain same admission seamlessly. How do you encourage such a child that hard work and merit pays?

Look at all the appointments the president has made so far, over 90% from the north. They are telling us they are based on merit. My question is how comes, when it comes to appointment, they are hiding under merit to appoint only their own, but when it comes to exams and admission into Federal institutions, they bring in Federal character. I'm an advocate of merit, hardwork, transparency, objectivity and emperical selection process. That way you encourage everybody to work hard for whatever he/she wants. After all, the Bible says, "he who does not work, let him not eat". It's against natural and spiritual justice and principle to take from those who work and give to those who don't work.

That in itself is the root of corruption Nigeria. I support the President's fight against corruption. I advocate the enthronement of merit and objectivity in our national life. So, Mr. President, if you are serious about your anti-corruption mantra, If you are serious about this your new "merit" policy, let's go back to the basis. Start by eliminating all forms of quota system and federal character in the admission process into Unity schools, Federal universities and recruitment/employment into all federal civil service, agencies, parastatals and let's see who will be qualified. That's my humble submission.

A boarding school in Gombe, Government Science Secondary School, Kaltungo in Southern Gombe State, always pray against rainfall as a result of their dilapidated building.

Reports gathered by Punch correspondents, says the students of the school are always praying against rainfall, even the teachers.

According to the pupils, they barely sleep as they are awake to always park water whenever it rains, they also added that they have converted most of their classrooms to hostels, still is not enough for the population.

They also complained that they have over 26 classrooms but just two are good whenever it rains it disrupts the lessons as students ran for safety.

Shey u no hear the stories when happen @ weekend:1) The untimely death of a superstar basketballer with kid and others on board an Ill fated chopper 2)The IMO State billionaire who died via accidental discharge.

ETC

You hear all these things and still allow Daddy Freeze to be your mentor/pastor as an ADULT with brains to think?

In life and in your heart, THERE CAN BE NO VACUUM, either you are for CHRIST or unconsciously sold out to the devil.

Your life, your choice, your business.....bye.

They don't even pay much then, what role was he even playing? Let's stop this financial literacy teachings please as investments don't go down, money has wings.

MOnkeyBabe:
Please don't misunderstand me for saying this.
ABROad, their health system is good. But they still waiting for people to donate kidneys and other body parts. A few people who do not have anyone to donate to them like friends and family may wait for years.
Health professionals don't encourage people to buy bodyparts off the black market since it is deemed illegal. They know if it is legalized, many people would sell their organs and face a lot of health risks. Demand would definitely SKyROCket and become more than supply. At the same time, I pity people who are broke and willing to go the extra mile to make ends meet.
I jokingly suggested I would donate if they offer me CITIZENSHIP.
Many looking for kidneys are willing to do Anything to get working kidneys. They may end up leaving the U.S. and other advanced countries to places like inDia where they can easily penetrate the ORGan.
The Only thing I think that's wrong and should be punished, is actually killing someone and harvesting their body parts for your own selfish financial interest.
Hell, if someone makes up their mind to sell something like their kidney which comprises 2 in the body, unlike a heart & liver, we have just one. Though Risky, I may give the GoAhead. Because you end up saving lives faster (rather than an ill patient waiting for 10years for a kidney transplant and ending up dying )and end up putting money in your POCket.

It's sad that one moves from Grace to grass sometimes. A lot of people here say why didn't he invest and things like that. He may or may not have done so. Some diseases have a way of eroding ones income in a way that is unbelievable. It would have been nice if we had a good working health insurance scheme that takes care of people. Pray not to have illnesses that will finish all the resources one has.

unitysheart:
Better. Governor's are usually mad when it comes to Local Government. How can you remove elected officials like say na your commissioners dem be.

agabusta:
The governors are engaging in gross abuse of powers by their flagrant sack of elected local government officials.

How does it sound for a president to announce the sack of a governor and put caretaker in charge of the states?

The governors needs to tow the path of equity by according to the local governments the respect and honour due to them.

And now I can see your point, yet it doesn't take away from the fact that suffering a low quality of life that doesn't match your expectation for your personal effort and achievement will naturally prompt you to consider alternatives.

Is it an individual doctors fault that his education was relatively cheap?

If they are able to provide the free and heavily subsidised education then why not follow through and create a conducive work environment?

Or to remedy your grouse, be like Singapore(I think) and rule that anybody who studies medicine on a govt grant must work for the government for at least 2 years after graduating.

Your last bolded statement closes the case.

9jaRealist:
EVERY society and nation started somewhere and worked their way up...
In my parents time in the US (1960s), blacks were still being publicly lynched, denied the vote, denied service in shops and generally segregated.

Meanwhile, how much does a “qualified Nigerian doctor” has to pay for his education as opposed to UK or US-qualified doctors (where most graduate from medical school with up to $250K loan debt)? A nation’s most important natural resource is human capital, and thus nations invest in their citizens with the hope and expectation of getting a ‘return’ by those citizens productivity (or re-investment into the society). Tens of thousands of Nigerians have benefited from heavily-subsidized and/or even free public education, including so many Nigerians in the diaspora.

Citizens create nations, not the other way around...
Ultimately, Nigeria’s condition is the culmination of the actions (by commission or omission) of ALL Nigerians - as will be its future.

midnighter:
I dont understand where all the argument is coming from; the hundreds of thousands of Nigerians in diaspora who have contributed to healthcare, commerce and education nko?

Even if you have a point, you are also detracting from it from being extreme. You cant deny the fact that people who try and try in this country often have nothing to show for it where they would have in a working system, which is why they emigrate in search of greener pastures. Thats all I was driving at in my original comment.

Whether they should be doing that, whether our political engagement is up to standard or the wider question of lack of progress in black nations is a different story.

If you want others to acknowledge that black people should do more, then you yourself need to admit that we are not totally useless, everywhere we go.

Anyway, you keep poking holes in my comments and attaching all these provocative cartoons. I notice that most of your posts seem to imply an exasperation with black Africans.

Im curious; what is your own solution to the problem? What about "blacks" do you wish to improve (I do understand that we could do better)?

Sad!
Two assassinations in two days within Oyo State. I think its high time the audio governor improves the security outfit to be a joint security patrol we used to have during Ajimobi's administration, instead of the policemen he gave KIA cars to.

May Oko Oloyun soul rest in peace!

From your writing, it is because of someone like you that will vote for a thug rather than that professor that is not ready to buy votes criminals like you.

Expectation is not the same as entitlement. The point of educational achievement is that you expect a certain standard of living to come of it.

When you wait and wait and still end up not seeing it...bye!

My whole post was pointing out why it is that people flee and why it's not farfetched to anticipate that they will. Brain drain happens all over the world and not just in Nigeria.
