SensualMan:
I'm only impressed that a Nyamiri from the great tribe came to Afonja nation and checked out as the best graduating student of OAU, a feat even the rat poison guzzler, Awolowo couldn't achieve.

Congratulations to that igbo boy. Whoever knows him should send me his details. I have something for him, better than what the govt gave him.

What you should be surprised about is how 'Afonj_a' not only admitted him to the school but never stood against his merited accomplishments.

That goes against what you guys spew about Afonj_a's hatre_d for your tribesmen.


Hahahaha.

You guys are funny.

Tpharell:
You completely misunderstood the point made there.
Regardless of what you wrote there, many naive young minds will be wondering and comparing the obvious gains of both endeavors.
This is definitely not a sure way to promote education as a ticket to better life in a poor illiterate society

There are over 70 Nigerian CEOs earning 30 - 90m per year in various Nigerian corporates.

A select few earn over 100m /annually too.

Many (thousands) Chief level executives & managers /Professionals earn tens of millions too in various ranks across different industries.

There are many more Nigerians in Europe & America earning good sums as professionals YEARLY (not one-off).

Guess what? 95%+ of them are graduates with their education a good part of their success.

Why would millions of Nigerian graduates have their eyes on a prize that can only be given to one per year? BBN or whatever is a game of extreme luck. A pure entertainment play.

That the best graduating student wasn't given 90m takes nothing away from the value of education.
Anyone who thinks it does should give up on education and chase his extremely unlikely BBN dreams.

Cheers.

ILoveDemMANNA:
Winner of BB9Ja was given around 90 Million Naira.
Some were even made special assistant to the Governors of their various states.
How much will they reward this brilliant student with?
Wasted generation.

No BB9ja prize winner was given 90m
Cash.
Even of they were, then that's what the show promoters thought the winner should get. A university education is not in competition with BBN.

My point ?

They are only so many (few) BBN winners with even a fewer set doing well over the years. We can't all become BBN acts.

But education still remains the MOST GUARANTEED platform for ushering the majority out of poverty.
Many Engineers would be gainfully employed THIS YEAR alone than all potential BBN winners for ever.


Anyone (undergraduate) who still doesn't understand my point in statistical significance should drop out an keep applying for BBN.
Perharps he'll cash out 90m one day.

DontBullshitMe:
Engineering over Medicine. Any day. Any time.

Hahahaha.

The two can co-exist.

We need both.

Guess they are a family of SS.

This genotype stuff made me believe in the survival of the fittest.

Soon those with AS and SS will be without partners for procreation because AA wants to marry only AA.

But it is interesting to note that genotype isn't a topic of discussion when dating or marrying in the developed world.

It is not just an issue of survival of the fittest.

It's also another glaring testament to our collective limitations as humans.

It is just another hard nut (challenge) medical science is yet to crack.

When they do, it'll be a forgotten issue hopefully.
But before then, prevention is certainly a good advice.

azpekuliar:
Na every year Seun and im mods dey do anniversary of only this particular plane crash for Nairaland.

It's worth it.

Her survival was a miracle?

Do you actually know of any other plane crash survivor.

She's a miracle to be celebrated probably daily

Thinktwicemybro:
The US will lose its relevance before 2025, this is because of their role in immorality all over the world. From pornography to gay to transgender. These are heavy sin against God and the US cannot escape God's judgement.
The minds of many youths are polluted with sex pornography while many nation's are bullied to allow same sex marry! All because of the US investments in these foolish things.

First to comment for the second time on naira land, let the congratulations pour in.

And if the US doesn't(lose relevance in 4 years), what does that make you?

See, the US like any other nation is far from Perfect.
They have made many mistakes, as have other nations.

However, there are christians & believers there just like there are anywhere else. Would those ones suffer because of the 'Country's' deeds?

What country doesn't have bad deeds?
The US (in all it's frailty) is one of the major bedrocks of improving the quality of human lives in the 21st century. The US has enriched your own life in ways you don't even perceive.


May God help us.

BKayy:
I don't mean to sound rude but you should have known that Algeria has been a historical ground of civilization. It is one of the few places in the not just the maghreb but the entire Middle East with continous inhabitants for centuries.
It is one if the few Maghreb settlements that Roman Empire gave the name Africa which later moved to encompass the blacks which were formerly known as Ethiopians.

Coming to international statistics, Nigerian population has been notorious as one of the greatest fraud in History. The only reason why some don't openly challenge it is because of the British factor, who has encouraged it right from her colonial days to favour those she can control.
Quote me anywhere, Nigerian population has defied all the laws of Geography, Human settlements, Biology, Ecology and Sociology.

There has never been any place in the world where an Arid, desert or sahel/Sudan savannah has more population of not just humans but any living thing.
All population of life forms increase significantly as one move from the Sahel to the Tropical rainforest. This is the theory that explains why SE Asia has more population than the Arab Realm (Middle East) or why the diversity of life forms and human existence is more pronounced in the rain forest.

In the Middle East, it is obvious that their population increase as one get to the savanna/watering hole where all the fights in old ages centered on. It was called survival. A fight that even Muhammad (SAW) participated in.
In Egypt,Algeria etc more than 60% of the population are close to the sea


Only Nigeria in the world defied all these laws in the entire world

Sorry but you are just saying believe me, believe me without giving me concrete positions to back up your assertions.

Let me get you.
Are you saying that Northern Nigeria is a desert ground? A place that has more arable land (area) than the South?
Certain agricultural products can't even be grown economically in the south. That the place you refer to as a desert?

Are you also saying that all population census done by the NBS (forget the British) are wrong both South & North. But YOU have a good estimate for the reasons you've adduced above?

And you expect me to hold onto your claims?

Hahahaha.
Na woah!

BKayy:
Algeria is almost times 3 of the whole Nigeria Landmass, strict Sunni Muslims (99%) but their population is 44m

The closest neighbour of Northern Nigeria, Niger Republic are also Muslims with a land Mass that is bigger than the entire Nigeria but their population is 24m

So what are you saying?
Are you more Muslim than Niger Republic or Algeria?

The entire North plus Middle Belt is not up to 15m

But those countries have never been reported to have a higher population than Nigeria in history.

They've also never had a higher birth rates than us.
(Per statista.com).

My point is that IF Nigeria is truly the 7th most populous country in the world, and the most populous in Africa with an estimated ~200m people, These people have to be within Nigeria right?

Now you'll agree with me (as per available) statistics (NBS & other global statistics) that more than half of Nigeria's population reside in (geographical) Northern Nigeria.

Almajiri children alone (while difficult to monitor) in the North are estimated (per a UNICEF report, 2020) at >7m children. That's more than the total population of a few states In the South.

While all these statistics are not perfect, the onus lies on anyone disproving these statistics to supply sound arguments against a body like NBS with Nbillions in resources.

Cheers.

BKayy:
According to Nigerian statistics, this place you are looking at is more populous than Aba.

According to facts Kaduna state (46053 sqkm) is larger in area than all south eastern states (~41K sqkm) combined. Or do we ignore that too?

Do we not all know that Northerns have the higher birth rates, large families & entrenched polygamy?

And unlike states in the south, the rural population trumps the count of people in 'urban' North (excluding non-indigenes).

If we don't believe the NBS, should we believe you?

englishmart:
most Nigerian employees are very wicked. Including the prospective ones

That's obvious.

Most Nigerians (generally) are.

dollynnn:
How a husband and his wife who were once head over heels with each other suddenly turn enemies still baffles me.
Anyway,say NO to domestic violence!

It shouldn't.

No man is 'Good' indeed.

It's God that saves.

Of Course.

Even those without degrees get jobs too.

Are you marrying a tribe, 'a people, a race or a group.

I thought you're marrying a single person?

Thinking with 'groups' in mind with marriage has a flaw. That is, you can still marry the 'exception' in a 'good' group.

Hahahahahah. And this is not funny.

Klass99:
I think Nairaland is affecting too many people in the real world and informing the choices they make, based on the toxic negativity often displayed here. Do what feels right to you at the end of the day, irrespective of people's views/opinions.

The society (in its entirety) is worse than whatever you can possibly see here.

No marriage. No marriage can be assessed vicariously. You'll have to be in it to know it.

So even the ones that appear great might be off.
Of course those that are bad are obvious.

God help us.

This kanayo na real Hustler. After all movie ain't really paying the male folks anymore except the females who use movie to cover up their clito trading. Baba switch hustle sharp!

Hustle Ke.

Do people make money from books in Nigeria?

That's a rather 'strange' hustle.

FreeStuffsNG:
Congratulations on achieving your dream to become a Pharmacist.

This is what that female doctor in PH who had her chain of community pharmacies shut should have done since she loves to practice Pharmacy but not a licensed Pharmacist.

We need more of focused, disciplined and hardworking youths like him.
Here's free book on business ideas & money sources directory for you,it's 100% free! https://www.nairaland.com/6666800/looking-business-ideas-money-fund. Cheers

Great. But is Pharmacy in Nigeria just about drug dispensing in Nigeria? I.e. Community Medicines.
How about drug research & Production?
I don't know much about Pharmacy but I know that The man Jonas Salk was a Medical doctor but he researched /created vacines & never practiced medicine.

Xavier70s:

Do you know what filled is?

Maxymilliano:

And many more

Have said it.
But some sentimental and bias people will still come on social media to say what they don't know

Hahahahahaha.

Kroos Ke?
Kroos that named Benzema as the 2nd best player in 2021.
What exactly was Benzema's achievement in 2021?
And don't tell me the Nations League where he wasn't even the best player.

These guys (Kroos) are Madrid players. What do you expect?

It depends on your interests.

What area of Programming do you want to play in.

Data analytics / Engineering?
Full stack development? Application /web development?
Database development?

You Choose:

Having been familiar with Data & Analytics domain,
I'ld advice.

Excel > SQL> R> Java. In that Order.

I really don't know much about Full stack development but you should check Code with mosh on YouTube for more details.

ALWAYS know that programming is NOT an end but a means to an end. So Value above medium should be the watchword.

Cheers.

Kingcalls:
Messi is a forward ... u guys should stop making it like he plays 10 cos he wears 10...

He is not a striker. The award was supposedly a striker award right. Not a forward.

Unless you are insinuating that in french, Forward = Striker.

Also you said nothing about how Lewandowski's poor international outing seems to have NO effect on people's assessment of his year. This would not be so for Messi. You know this.

Lewandowski is a great player though.

snoopz:
Na by voting and messi is more popular than lewa.
Forget this deserving stuff, there are balon d'or Messi no deserve wey he still win.
Inesta and co go tell u

That's not really true.

See it this way.

Because of Lewandowski's lower (compared to Messi) profile, nobody is talking about the fact that he crashed out of Euros group stage and that he didn't qualify Poland for the world cup yet. No one.

Trust me this would not have been so if it was Messi (even with winning stuff in Laliga). Messi would not even be second if he crashed out of group stage in Copa & didn't qualify for World cup.

Think through. It (popularity) cuts both ways.

Kingcalls:
Abi ooo...na guilty conscience....y dint they give messi striker of the year in 2019 and VVD balon dor since they based it on messis number of goals , so as 2012.... this shows u how corrupt these guys are...they purposely denied the ceremony cos messi wudnt hv made top 10.... messi himself is as fake and corrupt as them , cos only corrupt people benefit from corruption

You are overreaching.

For one, Messi is not a striker.
Also in 2019, Barca won everything but UCL.
They lost only one game in UCL - Liverpool away.
Even Liverpool lost more than one game.

Also in 2019, Messi was the top assist & Golden boot in Europe despite not being a striker.
That huge if it was anyone else.

Lewandowski is a great player (if he was voted for he'd have won) but what he achieved in 2021 is the equivalent of what Messi achieved in 2018 but got a laughable 5th. Some said because it (2018) was an international year (World cup).

Well 2021 was also an international year.
While he is not to be blamed, Poland did poorly.

Be sincere to yourself, If Messi did not qualify Argentina to World cup in 2021 and crashed out of COPA in group stage (like Lewandowski)would you be this defensive of Messi — even if he was the top goal scorer & won Laliga & Copa del Rey?

Therein lies your answer.

Kingcalls:
Of them like , they should give him...it will only discredit the award.... for the owners of the award to say , Ronaldos only priority is to make sure he wins more balon dor that Messi simply shows y they hv been giving him those fake awards to make sure Ronaldo don't catch up... my take is that awards are given in hidings and are full of sentiments... the champions league winner can only have that when u win it in front of everyone to see... so as the broken goal records... if a player that has not seen the final of the champions league in the past 7 yrs is given the award just cos he won copa it simply kills off the credibility of the award...I hope they give it to Messi so that thst stupid award will receive the biggest backlash that they will ever receive, there by killing the authenticity of the award...

You didn't say this in 2017 when CR7 caught up with Messi from a 4 -1 gap to 5-5. The award wasn't discredited then.

It would then seem that the award only gets discredited when YOU deem it so. At that point you may as well just create your award.

N.B. Balond'or is a Votes based award not anointed by the CEO of France football.

MITCHELL96:
If They don't give that Award to Lewandowski, then it's a BIG cheat!

Besides the fact that the results are based on a vote, A case can be made that in 2018, Messi won EVERYTHING Lewandowski won this year BUT because it was a World cup year, Messi was relegated to a laughable 5th.
You probably said nothing then.

This year while not being a world cup year, IS a year of 2 solid International tournaments. Some would say 3 even. Lewandowski (a great player) failed in the 2 relevant to him & so like Messi (in 2018) CAN be relegated as the voters please.

May the voted win!

Wow!

Kuriosmynd:
David Hundeyin is a brilliant and the hottest investigative journalist in Nigeria at the moment, who always with his articles cause problem for the ruling class to the extent that they so hate him and hunting for him. He's currently on exile, even the old fashioned, traditional, brown envelope styled journalist in Nigeria also hate him for his gut, no-nonsense take and the impact his articles usually make.
.
if you are not reading his investigative stories, articles, or following him on Twitter, then you are missing so much of information and analysis of Nigeria's politicial climate.

And he's just 31. That's how you make impact.
He's a kind of inspirational person the young generation can look up to in the rotten system; a fresh breath of hope, love for justice, integrity, competence, and excellence, yet young.
But here we celebrate fools and mediocres.

Sincerely asking,

I admire his boldeness but is there any of his cases that has a actually proven truthful?

I might be wrong but my impression of him (now, could change if the above changes) is that he is mostly an alarmist.

Nonetheless bold guy though.

Ammishaddai:
This man is a politician who is on a mission to gather support from those whose psychology has been damaged by the current administration. His motives may seem sincere to those who don't know him , but those of us who know are well acquainted with his style of deceit certainly know better

Ok.

But those he cares for don't have voting rights. And to the best of my knowledge, Metuh has not really stood for a Political office in almost 2 decades.

NaBanga:
This Don Jazzy looks exactly like his mother and father. I have never seen this, unless the couple was from the same family. It's truly amazing.

There is a plausible theory that couples come to look alike In their later years.

Probably apt here.

Another publicity stunt to woo the hearts and minds of the gullible.

Probably. But he does look committed to the welfare of inmates. Having himself walked in their shoes. This is not the first time.
