When there is life, there is hope. Few years back, poverty was slowly snuffing his life out. Now good luck is permanently smiling at him (at least while he is still alive). I must say thank you Mr president for this kind gesture.

I commend NUC for always sanitizing the university education system of this country. similar measure will never happen in some countries in West Africa where they encourage mushroom/secondary school grade universities.

Kwara State as at 3pm 19/9/14, has postponed the resumption of her schools indefinitely.

spicyv1: Even when proper measures have been taken? And a clear MOU drawn up?

MOU can be circumvented, Lawyer(s) can become partisan and a partner can be assasinated. From what I have seen and heard, I cannot do partnership with anyone. It is either sole proprietorship or I buy stocks of a PLC.

Partnership in business is very good for the hawkish partner but bad for the dovish one. One may not know who is who in the pioneering period of the business but when the venture becomes prosperous, A partner will want to take all the stake.

Afrocatalyst: Even in Rivers and Imo too. It's so crazy seeing 14yr old joining cults.

Kogi and Benue States too.

I wonder what on earth he will use all the loot for save the sadistic satisfaction derived from depriving his fellow men . TOO much money is a curse and not a blessing.

I have been following this thread silently for a long time and must commend all who has been contributing in one way or another. It is true NIS needs more personnel. Let us not forget that former CG Rose Uzoma lost her post because of the way the recruitment was handled during her tenure. Paradang and Moro said soon so let us be hopeful and prayerful. I strongly believe the NIS recruitment is one of those aces GEJ will use to his advantage. Some APC states are already using job offers to woo voters.

If your definition of African American culture includes Ebonics, Rastafarianism, Kwanzaa, Calypso, Jazz, Rap, Hip Hop, Reggae, Street Dance and Cake Walks, African American cuisine, Black sororities and fraternities, Pan African colour code of red, yellow and green ; then I believe they have.

Even if you can acquire one of those, you can hardly deploy its full potentials especially on most of our highways crawling with trailers and plagued by portholes.

Land - Capital - Knowhow = Nil. Little wonder his cronies are leasing the land back to white farmers.

Now officially telling us what had started a long time ago. I envisage wire taping or phone bugging extending from criminal suspects to political opponents, opposition party members, business rivals and people seen as potential threats. Whoever pays will be offered the service.

And to you all sinister women who take pleasure in jazzing and seducing well-to-do married men ignoring the welfare of their wives and children; Karma will catch up with you.

chiMoni37: Finally am now a nairalander !

Welcome to da club.

These US senators ought to be reminded that their country funded the over 80 projects that led to the ouster of Ukraine's pro-russian president from office.

Women must be seen, not heard. paint it red with your actions and never in your words. You will save yourself some embarrassment if the feedback is negative and you will at least be able to say he'd just misinterpreted your actions.

for every trigger-pull, there is a recoil.

16 years? They said something like that to justify a billion dollar loan. They claimed Nigerian security apparatuses had not acquired new weapons in 25 years. They will give any excuse to justify their inability to deliver. It is true that Nigeria has many challenges: power, insecurity, unemployment, etc ; It will make sense if Jonathan's administration is remembered to solve one of Nigeria's challenges considerably.

He's seeking cheap popularity. If he's so sure of his cure, let him leave Lagos for Liberia and inject himself with the virus. He will be renowned in an instant if he's not infected.

only time can tell.

May the departed soul finds eternal rest. (Amen).

Pink lips and tatoos are obviously for gay men.

They can't be bought off to compromise like their Nigerian counterpart.

Even a blind man can see that Buhari is the most viable of all the potential flagbearers.

I love it here and now, not then!

While Britain handed over power (political, economic and military), completely to former colonies at independence; France is still subjugating hers till this very day. Vital decisions of her former colonies are taken from Paris. One of the many sad facts slowing the implementation of the Eco currency in ECOWAS countries. The British are truly liberal minded.

It is strange that expatriates keep believing in this country but most Nigerians (politicians and common citizens) don't, by not being patriotic.

Dogs are not supernatural in anyway but have acute senses of smell, sight and hearing and could detect electromagnetic signals far more than humans do.

LarrySun: Which came first: The chicken or the egg?

If readers are the best people to fall in love with, what about writers?

Now, who wrote the first scroll? The writer or the reader? (Reference to my first question above)

None of the above ! It is the thinker. The thinker wants to immortalise his/her choice thoughts and experiences by becoming a writer. Another thihker wants to enrich his/her thoughts and experiences by becoming a reader.

It was not labelled properly that was why the LA authorities took precautions. At least the consignment could have borne the name, address and other details of the farm, if they were farmed snails and a paper from a professional body like the veterinary association certifying the snails pathogen free. Who knows if the snails were picked from the forest and could be pathogenic. Dengue was transported from Mexico like that some years back due to lack of precaution.

Many wonder stones are still lying in the belly of mother earth patiently waiting to be unearthed. They give a glimpse of an unbiased love the Creator has for humankind.

A place for everything is everything in place. I believe a woman can have a brilliant career and an enviable family. It all depends on an understanding husband and a wife that won't get puffed up at the sight of success. Also, not forgeting the "G" factor - God factor. Beside, I don't expect a man who marries a career woman to shun cooking his meals atimes or at least hire a cook to prepare meals when wife's at work. Also, a career woman oughtn't spend her dough alone.
