CAN PEOPLE BE OBJECTIVE AND LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE CLERALY AND STOP ALL THIS INSULT AND HURLING OF ABUSES TO A MAN WHO NEVER MADE ANY SUCH POLITICAL COMMENTS- GUESS PEOPLE ARE SO ENVIOUS AND JEALOUS OF THE MAN OF GOD, THEY JUST CHOOSE TO EXHIBIT THIER HATRED EVEN IN THE FACE OF NO PROVOCATION. How is it now wrong for a man of God to acknowledge and pray for the president of a nation respectfully?

MosesEzekiel:
i just call one of his members to confirm this story, and it was said that nothing of such was said by the cleric though his body language is said to be supporting GGEJ

The BODY LANGUAGE OF TRUE CHRISTIANS IS TO VOTE FOR PEACE, We vote for those whose utterance and behavior speak of peace not those who thrive on "Dog fighting Baboon" philosophy and those who we cant trace political assassination too nor people whose political associates are corruption warlords yet they claim to be the "czar of anti-corruption".

I pity the girl,Linda Ikeji copied kayode ogundamisi out of context without any investigation .

YOU REALLY DON'T NEED TO PITY HER. SHE's definitely on somebody's payroll - she has no choice than to keep peddling JUICY LIES !!!

Worse still is how gullible people are in an information age.

I was there Live - there was no campaign made by the president. The bishop only invited him FOR a brief greeting to the congregation - where GEJ urged CHRISTIAN FAITHFULS for more prayers. This all lasted for less than 5 minutes.

There was no political semblance in either the BISHOP's utterance or that of GEJ. Neither was there any form of endorsement too.

Never seen such an extent of misrepresentation and lies been peddled in the our History as a nation. Bishop David Oyedepo never made the statement attributed to him today.I CHALLENGE THIS LAIR OF A BLOGGER TO PROVIDE VIDEO EVIDENCE AS NO WHERE DID THE BISHOP MAKE SUCH ASSERTION.
The service went on smoothly without the bishop deviating from his monthly teaching series. I ADVICE THE MODERATOR TO CHECK THE VERACITY OF CLAIMS BEFORE RETURNING THESE MALICIOUS THREADS TO FRONT PAGE.

Thanks

In my considered opinion,1.Has the military denied being in possession of Buhari's certificates? 2.why is the military mute over the allegation 3. Can Buhari lie against the military with impunity? 4. Could this be one of PDP's usual desperate and despicable political manoeuvres? 5. Is it possible for Buhari to have risen to the rank of General (acclaimed one of the best, by an independent international entity of no mean repute), without having an O'level certificate? 6. Is it not blatantly CHEAP to dwell on ordinary certificates when we know that paper qualification is DEFINITELY not enough to make a good leader? 7. Does gej's Phd make him a leader to reckon with? 8. Could Sambo have ACTUALY lost his certificates to fire?, when? Where? How? Mind you, in the case of FIRE one cannot make enquiries or maybe you should enter fire and ask it some questions! Nobody can LIE against the Nigerian military with impunity. The fact that they have not responded to the claim or delayed to respond to such a weighty claim should send the biggest slowpoke THINKING. For goodness sake, are some people so unfortunately daft? Chai!

COMMON ABACHA ROSE TO THE LEVEL OF A GENERAL , SAME WITH IBB - we have seen a larger number of illiterates occupy key positions in this country. Even the constitution still requires primary school cert. for NATIONAL aSSEMBLY MEMBERS. AS AN ADVOCATE OF THE RULE OF LAW, WE EXPECT HIM TO SHOW NIGERIANS THAT HE IS NOW DEMOCRATIC AND LONGER THE DICTATOR OF THE 80's by presenting even the photocopies of his credentials without any grandstanding . Dont think thats a big deal now!!!

Well for those who dont havent gone through our legislation and are claiming right over a well established wrong am sure some time out with the Nigerian Evidence Act, 2001 AND Section (5) of the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007 would be sufficienct guide for you in case u in any position to advice these politician parties and persons who think they are above the law.

THANKS ALL

Without over flogging the issue of Abuse that is prevalent in our society - especially by leadership and those who should know the law better.

I INSIST THAT NO POLITICAL PARTY has the right to obtain biometric details of any individual(even based on a good intent )

1. DO THESE POLITICAL PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT DATA COLLECTION is just one bit of registration - do they have in PLACE adequate security measures in place to safeguard these data from IDENTITY THEFT.

2. The very act of collecting Biometric information such as fingerprints is criminal - Names and other details of its members are sufficient. Whether PVC cloning is involved is only a secondary issue and the result of consequences the LAW intends to avoid by allowing only specialized agencies handle discrete data collection.

3. We need to ask ourselves if these data finds way into the wrong hands, what could be the resultant effect - Financial fraud may not be ruled out. As a matter of fact unscrupulous staffs could offer to sell these data to anyone all for any amount.

4. In a terror ridden world, we should be careful who we offer our details to - people are not just interesting in committing nefarious activities but also willing to hide under fake identity in doin so. Lets drop POLITICAL INCLINATIONS and irrelevant EMOTIONS and deal with the issue of a wrong that has been perpetuated. The perpetrator here is highly relevant whether its PDP, APC, A CHURCH MOSQUE, OR EVEN THE PRESIDENCY. WRONG remains WRONG

IN CONCLUSION, THIS CASE SHOULD SERVE A LESSON TO SOME OF OUR POLITICIANS, LEADERS THAT YOU CANT CONTINUE KEEP VIOLATING LAWS - AND CLAIM THAT YOU ARE FOR CHANGE. These laws are put in place to protect all of us through painstaking legislative processes.

IF YOU FEEL OTHERWISE, APPROACH RELEVANT AUTHORITIES FOR AUTHORIZATION OR CLEARANCE.
I peacefully rest my case here

THANKS ALL

I THINK THERE SEEMS TO BE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF IGNORANCE OR PERHAPS CONFUSION AS TO THE IMPLICATION OF A POLITICAL PARTY INVOLVED IN UNAUTHORIZED (BIOMETRIC)DATA CAPTURE OF CITIZENS.

The law clearly provides that only the National Population and its affiliate departments CAN ENGAGE IN the collection of fingerprints as a form of identity.

Now some of us understand that we have a lawless society where emotions rather than the law we all have subscribed to ends up as the order of the day.

FIRSTLY, APC a duly registered political party is very much on course having a data center, taking down details of its memebers etc. HOWEVER, IT VIOLATES THIS FREEDOM once its acquires DATA CAPTURE devices to even collect finger print details. BY COLLATING BIOMETRICS , IT NOW MOVES BEYOND MERE MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION TO a purely security terrian.

SECONDLY, The SSS has a security outfit has every legal right and is within its powers to investigate any body , political party, religious organization or individual and as such no one should cry foul and call that UNDEMOCRATIC. The ACTION of the SSS is in order and was done with minimal or no force at all.

THIRDLY, It would be important for the APC leadership to explain how biometric details enhances the integrity of data collection for its membership profile. Financial institutions , Educational institutions all have data centers or data management centers, Never has it been recorded that finger print details were required for even the most risky financial transactions. WE ALL KNOW THAT AN INDIVIDUAL SIGNATURE is often the length of authentication needed.

IN CONCLUSION, THIS OPPOSITION PARTY SHOULD EXPLAIN TO NIGERIANS whAT It intends to do with fingerprints WHICH , our Banks , schools dont need!!!

GUESS THATS THE STARTING POINT for this DISCUSS - not emotional , baseless outburst over a state organ performing its legal duties.

THANKS ALL

Dr Myles Munroe - Preacher, evangelist, motivational speaker and founder of the Bahamas Faith Ministries has gone to be with the Lord. It happened this Late Sunday evening, on his way to attend to the lords assignment. According to Reuters, he was a few minutes to landing at the Grand Bahamas international airport for a Global Leadership forum which he was due to host when his jet crash landed. He was in the company of his darling wife and associate Dr Pindler.

Interestingly, His church is going ahead with the programme and not morning as they hold on to the message of purpose which Myles stood for.

Dr Munroe would be greatly remembered as a leading Minister on purpose and a great faith leader especially to the entire world.

Even at death, Myles lives on !!!

Adieu to the Sage and Apostle Paul of our Generation.

Lets take time to pray for his family and the Church of God in Bahamas .

I believe Nigeria is on the path to greater heights with these MEN of GOD discarding denominational differences to come in ONE ACCORD against the challenges that have long held this great nation down.

Reminds me of when Joseph Babalola - the sage - spoke to the earth in 1970 and in that same year there was an avalanche of developments including the very discovery of oil in commercial quantities and immediate exploration.

Nigerians should expect a realignment of the "NIGERIAN STAR".

Gdmorn house,all you need to do is type in "NDDC failed scholarship" and you see our campaign is gathering storm.Online media are republishing the article on Laila's blog.

We have another article in the The Nation newspaper.

http://thenationonlineng.net/new/nddc-scholarship-whats-going-on/

dont underestimate the power of social media...pls share the link as usual.

Hi Scholars,

Its been some movement in the direction some of us have always advocated which is to share the state of happenings with the public. Kudos must go to everyone who has been doing re-tweets, sharing and making available this news on every media platform. At least its becoming visible that people would start to question those employed by the government to use our commonwealth for the benefit of all.
However, whilst these developments seem plausible. We as potential scholars need to add a bit of zeal which is inexpensive in this kind of exercise. A cursory look at most of the articles and letters published in the dailies and even the blogs shows little followership. I mean the article on the nation by a colleague had countable comments ,likewise that with leadership and the blogs done so far.
Numbers become of immense value in a drive for results as we left with little time in the year. In this regard I would like to kindly request that those of us who do exercise the belief in the strategy of public engagement and involving the media should help increase the tweets, comments and discuss about this NDDC issue.
Accordingly as we gain more grounds in this media engagement. lets not forget the radio programmes and TV call in programmes too. They are also good avenues for presenting our case out there.
We intellectuals, lets not talk the talk but walk the talk this time around. Comments are encouraged from everyone on these posts outlined below. Its more than an "I AM FOR or AM NOT INTERESTED" disposition. Lets take this discuss out there beyond the confines of Nairaland. And if you involved in any other initiative do intimate the house as we all have a common goal.

Thanks all!!!

[quote author=Bethiano post=27188561]Yes , I think its better to go to nddc first, an hear their own side of the story!

Attonery1law! I noticed! Its like you don't read through the thread. Pls read through cos we need your legal skills and guidance.

task 1: to visit nddc

Matters arising from tasl 1: 1) I think next week monday is fine.
2) Agenda of the visit; I tink we should write out the issues , that we want NDDC to addreSs.
3) Let's write out the persons the have to meet on the visit in case they are not allowed to see the MD. Ppl like, head of education, PA to MD, PRO, etc.

4)Let us draft possible questions and answer NDDC may ask. This will help us provide answers and appropriate questions to beat them at their game. Its better we get a clear and direct reponse than all those their poloitical statement.

Success is ours[/quote

I am clearly in support of your suggestion. Want is far important is results and lets agree for a date and be decisive on that quickly. I clearly am not on the path of doing nothing nd expecting sth. I have always concluded by asking for inputs cos it takes some level of intelligence at least to get past thru a scholarship process of this nature.

However, in event of a lopsided information or excuse laden session with NDDC - the media and protest option remains open. We not visiting NDDC for tea party or preaching session. They know how to salvage less than 200 scholars they normally sponsor yearly. So in case anybody working in liaison with NDDC thinks a flimsy excuse would not hold any water.

Demand at this time is only favorable response, beneficial to all.

Thanks and God bless!!!

Hi Scholars,

In line with our common goal to better our future and that of our country, A number of us saw the need to engage the management and not some insider in NDDC who keep at giving us false hope. lET me begin by asking when did the need for a peaceful protest and rightful media engagement became necessary ? Was it when we submitted our scholarship application in february, or when exams were called for in early April or followed up with immediate interviews in that same April?

Interviews were conducted and nobody gave us any official contact with which to contact in case of any enquiry regarding the scholarship(which is typical of most govt establishments in Nigeria). Notwithstanding we waited May, June, July. IN August WHEN REASONABLE AND TIME CONSCIOUS schools which we applied to began to ask for the status of our admission, we in turn took to asking for information form whatever unconfirmed sources about the release or decision of the NDDC BOARD REGARDING THE 2014/2015 SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME.

people WENT AS FAR AS TO SUGGEST HAVING FAITH, LETS GIVE THEM TIME, OH LETS DO OUR TB TEST. SOME CLEARLY SAID DO A DEPOSIT TO YOUR SCHOOL. OH PAY FOR ACCOMMODATION AND ALL THAT NONSENSE. In the spirit of hope, some people(DEFINITELY NOT ME ANYWAY) went with these advise. In the last week of August when it became obvious that the management of this scheme were oblivious of the embarrassment it means for you to get people committed to cause and leave them halfway without even at least doing a press release to tell everyone that okay we cant do this programme for this year based on XYZ reasons. Instead NDDC carried on as if nothing is happening.

i REMEMBER CLEARLY ON AUGUST 26TH, I SAID LOOK GUYS IF WE GOIN TO STAND A CHANCE FOR SEPTEMBER start ,ITS IN SPEAKING UP NOW. Oh people said lets give them the full stretch, oh its too early , oh defer your admission. I CAN REMEMBER SOME POEPLE CLAMOURING THAT "THIER ALMIGHTY SOURCE" SAID THE LIST WOULD BE OUT IN THAT SEPTEMBER. IT WONT EXCEED SEPTEMBER,oh IN 2012 - THE LIST WAS RELEASED LATE(forgetting to academically admit that the time of the interviews were typically from MAY downwards)

Now these same people continued their PENCHANT for reporting what became more like a reflex response of the" list would be out soon" all through september till admissions closed and even up til now when its obvious that no one could travel for this year anymore.NOW THE ONE QUESTION IS WHAT OFFICIAL CHANNEL HAS NDDC responsibly taken as a public institution to tell us of the fate of this scheme. Does it mean that people travelled from Russia , UK, NORTH TO SOUTH OF NIGERIA against all odds for NDDC to keep mute at this critical stage.

WHO AM I TO CONTACT AGAIN, WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL ACTING ON "SOURCES SAID" visited NDDC only a couple of days ago hopeful and only got that same line of balderdash that the list would be out soon. THAT INDIVIDUAL OUT OF FRUSTRATION HAS ENCOURAGED HIMSELF TO FORGET ABOUT THIS SCHEME.

We stand here today thinking of getting the board to speak on the issue and tell us their stand and sb is saying we should wait till for information. QUESTION IS FROM WHO and WHEN?

Personally, I have had to engage mentors and leaders from the Niger Delta and the National Assembly and the reasoning is that with a political appointee as NDDC MD. The ONLY WAY TO GET ANY REASONABLE RESPONSE IS TO ENGAGE THE MEDIA. Even the state director for my state has said he cant raise such an issue with the MD . The Assembly MEMBERS BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN DOCILE in waiting this long. CAMPAIGNS ARE TICK, POLITICIANS THINK SLEEP AND WAKE 2015 - House issues are more 101% 2015. Even a couple of responses i get from some newspaper persons is do a page advert to that effect. Some have even asked if am sure no one has benefited yet since NDDC doesn't publish the list.

The common denominator is that at this critical moment OUR DESTINY is in our HANDS. We either live with this blatant disregard by NDDC for our precious time and investment or tow the line of asking for the right thing. If sb is thinkin at NDDC - they should know that we are human beings and the only respect they owe us at this point is an explanation, better list a publication of the list.

Thanks and lets keep at harmonizing our plans for engagement.!!!
In the misdt of all this bashing about docility, want of time

Hi Scholars,

A happy morning to you all.

Just in line with our resolve to take steps in the direction of actualizing our goals. I would like to kindly remind us of the need to roll out our letters and drafts to media stations we conversant with, national dailies etc. I personally provided that of vanguard cos of their open policy to publishing contents esp. letters of concern from Nigerians u know.

Secondly, a lot has been said about the need for a protest - this i totally agree with. We have got to give our request /demand a face . Accordingly, i would suggest that we explore the option of visiting one or two media stations aside going to nddc offices. A successful protest would not require more than a handful and committed folks per time. The number needs not be much but with objective demands , strategy and courage we can do this long delayed protest. We need to choose a protest date agreed upon by those interested at least before middle next week.We sure running against time

Thirdly, the protest at NNDC office must be matched with media presence and u guys know the usual, we caption every moment and spread via YOUTUBE as well. trust me one thing that gets these people(NDDC MANAGEMENT) hasten up in doin d needful, and thats just the tool we should use at d moment to get them thinking our direction. I would provide list of media stations in PH we could contact once we mobilized for a protest.

Fourthly, we not protesting to have the NDDC management or its representative address us and give bogus promises that lead no where. Our placards must carry strong message about issues of scholars welfare that needs to be addresses. The lack of organization [/b]that has been experienced so far and an [b]immediate publication of the list. The embarrassment their ineptitude is bring to the Nigerian state and prospective student seeking for admission in top flight institutions in the UK.

If we are organized and committed enough, scholars in other NDDC STATES could arrange for these protest like visits to TV stations as well.

The reason for the media protest is in line with the POSSIBILITY of having the media arm see our plight and whi knows offer us a slot in any of their programmes to also now air our opinions to the public and thats a powerful way to get this message out.

One thing is for sure no matter the assurance we get from protesting at NDDC OFFICE, We must sustain the heat by talking and protesting through media channels until we see change . ITS ACTION UNTIL RESULTS ARRIVE.

In conclusion, the only tool we need for each of these organized protests is our pen and a Cardboard. Thats where we draw our message. With peace we must send out our message, any saboteur who infringes on our right to peaceful association or attempts to mar our protest u sure should be ready for full engagement with the law.

LETS EXHIBIT SOME COURAGE as YOUTHS and INTELLECTUALS at that.

THANKS and GOD BLESS!!!

Hi Fellow scholars,
I feel a bit ashamed but not surprised though, that at a time people should be bothered about the state of our scholarship pursuit, some have taken it as a favorite past time to pour OUT ABUSES on each other. Ur common foe is those at NDDC taking an entire set of intellectuals for a ride and NOT NAIRALAND members all in search of a better life.

First we must all realize that whats at stake is not about any "LIST" or when the "LIST would come out". Its about getting an insensitive board to act responsible. Even job interviews with far grater number of candidates would notify everyone of the outcome of a process. This blatant insensitivity now to my amazement is making people to feed, hope and be desirous of "speculations" and "hear says". In any case these speculations could continue till eternity as far as its not official from NDDC.

Unless one is a novice thats when U would still hold on to any list that is not yet released. The continued i dont care attitude of these NDDC BOARD IS NOT SURPRISING as we know that NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET is already being prepared and would be passed hopefully before the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY goes on recess for the elections this November. FYI - when PTDF cancelled its scholarship last year and though related this early enough to its candidates, assuring them of a combined entry for 2013-2014. It failed on that promise .with the research student as it took only a candidate per state this year which is less than its normal average. So if u thinking of a merger list next year then it means u reaLly not just a dreamer but in "Alaadins world " were stones tun to gold overnight.

Once you guyS continue this irrelevant bickering over needless "rights" and "wrongs", time runs out and everybody goes home watching for next year. If you are conversant with government's body language u WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT once campaigns kick up fully next month, no one including the media would have ur time till late next year. Its better we stop disturbing NDDC staffs who are no Management members or Board executives to provide emotional assurances like "UR LIST WOULD BE OUT NEST WEEK" or "ITS FINANCE CAUSING THE DELAY". We wiser than these silly excuses cos we in Nigeria where thats the mantra of people when they dont want to work but EMBEZZLE PUBLIC FUNDS.

The Big question is how does these petty fighting on one forum that isn't directly reflecting our collective goals to the right quarter going to offer. Sincerely speaking I think its not just leadership for a virtual or physical protest we need. If you on the path of affirmative action that means u should be TAKING RESULTS and ANALYZING results so far. We only need intensity and critical mass to drive home our point - full participation is rarely ever possible neither is anyone out there to usurp another opinion or views as to what we should be doin at the moment in this forum.

A candid opinion is that as potential scholars on the divide of affirmative action, we do a 200 word snippet to the editor of some daily newspapers(FIND DETAILS BELOW) between tomorrow the 16th - 19th of this month. It would be a good starting point to dissipate energy in d right direction. The letter should be objective about the delayed response from NDDC AND ASK FOR AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE FROM THE NDDC BOARD.

It would be nice to also have a list of topical call in programs with wide reach, we all can call to intimate of this irrational exhibition of mediocrity that the NNDC management as exhibited in the last few months.

Expect your candid input, suggestions and above all action in this regards.

THANKS and GOD BLESS!!!

Hi scholars,

Just wondering if we taking note of time - its less than ten weeks to the close of year. Times had it here when people clamored for TB test, making deposits to schools, making accommodation arrangement et al. However, looks like we are yet to face the reality that only a statement from NDDC at this time would make any meaningful contribution to a dream we all started in Feb this year.

In this light i would like to kindly ask we reflect in all sincerity, if these current posture of waiting for insider sources that is clearly taking us in same direction since the interviews were concluded in April need not be reinforced with genuine push for answers from this NDDC management that is acting like there's nothing at stake.

Somebody had earlier one suggested that we engage a radio programme with Daar communications by forwarding letters to the editor. alas only about three persons took out time to do that. If we continue with this "lts in Gods hand","i got an insider source","my name is on the list" attitude - we would have safely and conveniently helped those who always take the youths for granted to conclude their experiments that the Nigerian Youth is not only visionary, lacks initiative and can never be united in its quest for its RIGHT and demanding for good governance.

If an editor sure sees a rising number of mails on one issue e - i bet they take it up, Not when its a handful of letters not showing the extent of individuals affected by an unexplainable delay. It baffles me how much time people had to invest in preparing for the test, interviews nd even processing admission overseas, yet somebody is saying such investments can be thrown away on a platter of "NDDC IS DOING US A FAVOUR"

In conclusion, lets all take take it out there nd stop crucifying those who have kept imaginary hope alive in the midst of immense tension. Lets act like men who would not tell stories, but tales of what action they took in the time of adversity and seemingly impossibilities. 99% of WISDOM HERE is about ACTING ON TIME and not lamenting , exchanging abuses on Nairaland no, giving commendations and testimonies - Our UNITED DEMAND is NNDC tell US what has happened to the 2014/2015 scheme and the budget allocated to it. We deserve to know the activities of a public institution like NDDC as it is not a CULT. Lets get to engage more media platforms and continue the tweets nd hash tags.

Stop this faith without work here, ain't taking us nowhere.

THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Lest I forget, d diva was invited to speak alongside renowned professors from the University. If that aint class only wondering what U call that.
Its all about repping Naija first nd foremost, b4 all these localized supremacy fights between public and private institution. what d u think peeps?

If a philosophical definition of a millionaire is a person who has impacted another positively in more than a million ways. I sincerely think we should applaud these church leaders who have held the moral of the society by providing visionary leadership even to the amazement of an indifferent government at all levels.

Think of Dr David Oyedepo [/b]overseeing two world class institutions built for Nigerians and redefining the mentality of our youths. that alone is a perfect generational strategy. He placed Nigeria on the world map by putting action to his dreams and actualized one of the worlds largest auditorium at a time when Nigeria's image was in dire need of some real image laundering. This auditorium was built by Nigerian engineers with [b]NO foreign input from planing to commissioning. In a space of 10 years , C[b]ovenant University graduates now top PRESSID SCHOLARSHIP as 'primus inter pares' - first among equals in all field of endeavors[/b].

Here we have a man who has contributed so much to lives and from a humble beginning has clearly shown that Nigeria and the black man can be excellent at what they do and yet somebody thinks the reward for handwork, excellence and panache in ones field should be mediocrity and poverty. I suggest sb does have a rethink .

Heres a proof of what a Covenant University achieved recently : https://www.nairaland.com/1940085/cu-student-pioneer-black-only

Well Covenant stands out which ever way u view it - from engineering to the humanities. Her products speak loudly out there and even internationally at that.

sorry bro, that vehicle can be constructed by a mechanical engineering student of any higher institution across nigeria.
Your idea that wealthy pastor oyedepo bought the vehicle and the parts is just one of our usual innate pull-him-down syndrome

let's put that aside for now

I studied Mechanical Engineering and trust me, i can almost describe the inner working of that vehicle without seeing it since all the huge front engine in a vehicle (excluding the nice to haves) does is roll the crankshaft.

Every other movement becomes a derivative of the crankshaft
if you can figure a way to move the crank, you are free to discard the engine block, pistons, injector, carburetor, and the battery since power can be generated off the crankshaft's movement.

thats a good work engineer. we need more of you guys

MORE LIKE GOOD THINKING GOOD PRODUCT!!!

We all know they did not build these vehicles, give naija road mechanic a access to good workshop n equipment, he will do better.

Speak for yourself please. We seeing advancement from visionary and purpose driven leadership. Instead of you to ask or VC's at the Ivory towers , our Rectors at the Polytechnics what they are doing with billions allocated yearly to them, u expressing beef for CU that doesn't even have capacity to absorb all university bound students from even the smallest local government. we should emphasize that d critical mass at the public universities do same so we dont continue over reliance on China

We should ask for improvement and more innovation from these kids and not come here with 'bring down mentality',that only feeds our hatred and bitterness for people who try to make things work in Nigeria.

You don't know how block headed covenant university students are .... That school is just a dumping ground for rich kids. Majority are dumb.

so block headed, that CU students have emerged highest scholars at the past 2 PRESSID scholarship consecutively. Better dont antagonize excellence when u see one, cos if u do- be sure to attract nothing but failure and mediocrity.
Its thumbs up CU - and even more rep to Nigeria and the black race in general.
