EducationRe: Ogun Students Waylay, Beat Teacher Who Stopped Them From Cheating by benjaminlawson(m): 12:42pm On Jul 23, 2023
Some of us are just blaming the students, what of parents that are paying some of these teacher to engage in malpractices during external exam or register their children at the so called miracle centres. If we want to eliminate the menace, all hand must be on deck, from the students, parents, teachers and government. Blaming the student alone cannot solve the problem.

Because they didn't declared your failed candidate as winner..tinubu his not Nigeria problem he only hold state office before he be came a president go and hold the pass federal government appointees
The past federal government appointees are they the one that remove subsidy? Or is it because they only made provision too June, but, your oga did not even wait till that June ending before the subsidy was removed . Even if budget did not cover July to December this year, why not send supplementary budget to cover the rest of the year, if they truly mean well for Nigeria, they will realize that subsidy removal without proper planning for palliative and domestic production of fuel is an act of insensitivity to Nigerians plight.

It's obvious tinubu is afraid to sack this man...

Why not do a total cleansing in the petroleum sector...baba they fear...na poor man body he they get power
Am on the same page with you in this, why Mele maintain his job is yet to be understood, after leading Nigerians to this untold hardship, the president still allowed him to inflict more hardship on us. The people the government regarded as foes; Emefele and Bawa because they are perceived enemy that want hinder electoral success are kept behind the bar, but the like of mele and others who are enemy of Nigerians are allowed make us suffer the more due to their corrupt activities. Custom boss asked mele kyari that are we drinking oil? When you know we are consuming 60 million litres, why are you releasing 100 million litres to the market? Up till now, no one has interrogated that statement, but the man is still keeping his job.

This who our subsidy removal money will be spent, while Nigeria masses will continue to suffer. All AU subscription and dues has been settled, another big brother Africa is loading while poverty has skyrocketed in Nigeria. But Yoruba adage says ile la ti ko eso rode i.e. charity beings at home, but charity of our leader starts from outside, while the home is neglected.

Bobloco:
Money that will be looted by Governors and local government chairmen
I totally agree with you, the money the state governor will be looted even without paying workers salary and other development programs. These governors have been advocating for subsidy removal so as to have enough money to play around, while Nigeria masses are bleeding because of hardship. God will punish all those that make life difficult for common man. As the common man were told to make sacrifices, the government have not take any step to combat corruption and check contract inflation, which is the bane of our development.

Where is this governor, when during Buhari no Naira was given to the southerners, even the then minister of humanitarian affairs Sadiya, was not ashamed to open her mouth wide and told Nigerians that she did not share palliative to southerners because they are not poor, and that they have people abroad to send money to them, I have not seen any northern to call to order.

Many professionals in law, medicine have their children towing same path as them.
It's easier for the children as they can have guidance direclty from their parents
You talking out of ignorance, saying law and medicine profession have their children in the profession, is that the argument here? We are talking of the person who is the chairman of NJC, who is the head of selection committee, did he come down from his seat as chairman when they want to consider his son's matter? Mind you this not a private company, it is a Federal institution where all Nigerians have a stake, he even sworn that he will not allow his personal interest to overtime National interest.

Engrduke:
Please tell me what I don't know.

If the son ticks all the criteria boxes, what is the crime in getting what he deserves?
Is he less a Nigerian because his father is highly placed?

As a Vice-Chancellor of a university, is it logical to deny one's son admission even when he did so well in JAMB UTME, SSCE and Post UTME in order to appear so good to the public?

Most influential and successful people use their resources to prepare their wards academically, professionally, socially, etc for the future.

Once you break the jinx of limitations, your descendants are positioned for greatness.
J F Kennedy's, George W Bush's, etc generations benefitted from their ancestors' breakthrough in the Western world or the saner climes as some people like to eulogize them
Please, there is no dispute about your assertion above, but where the problem lies in Nigeria is that, whether they are qualified or not they are automatically selected, in fact this days no advertisement is always place for public to partake in the selection process. In a situation where there is no public knowledge about it, and no competitive selection process, how would you determine one's competent? On the issue you raised that this people trained their children well, Do you noticed that most people that did well and excelled are not from well to do family in most cases, go and check WAEC , JAMB and first class products from University, majority of them are not from well to do family. What I tried to prove is that let them allow competitive selection process, then if their children are qualified no one will question them, but reverse is the case that is what make people to talk.
CareerRe: Ebonyi Government Increases Workers' Salary By ₦10,000 by benjaminlawson(m): 3:17pm On Jul 14, 2023
Nigeria will be better when these set of wicked people we called our leaders were swept away by the wrath of Almighty God. How on earth would someone contemplating just ten thousand naira addition to salary, when fuel price was increase by more than 200%, which has led to increment in the price of every commodity in the market. This are people that has been fighting for removal of subsidy in order to have more money to be embezzled. The governors should not try that madness by proposing peanut for citizens, while they continue their wasteful lives.
PoliticsRe: Senate Begins Probe Into Oil Subsidy Payments In Buhari’s Government by benjaminlawson(m): 1:33pm On Jul 13, 2023
These people need to simply tell us that they intend to collect their share of the loots. NNPCL will come in and request that they want to fund the sitting of the probe committee. Whatever the out come, will either not make public or die a natural death. They set up committee to determine our daily consumption, but the investigators came back and sing the same song with NNPCL that our daily consumption of PMS is unknown, because calculating our daily consumption has become a rocket science that differ all solution. Nonetheless, this is new assembly, we will give them that benefits of doubt.

Stop your ignorance, Nigeria is blessed with abundant resources, but mismanagement and corruption on the part of our leaders had hindered us from enjoying God given blessing. On the issue of population, are we not hear during the election that some regions are boosting that some men have 20 to 30 children, with the intention of dominating other regions that controls their birth rate, with this kind of mentality, would any one be surprised that our population is escalating.
PoliticsRe: Only God Will Save Tinubu If He Loses In Court – Shehu Sani by benjaminlawson(m): 10:34am On Jul 11, 2023
SmartPolician:
I haven't seen any strong reason why Tinubu will lose in court. By completely changing the wills of the people at polling unit level (INEC's EC8A), APC totally handicapped PDP and LP.
You don't win elections on hearsay; you use facts and figures to win elections.

BTW, when INEC announced that LP didn't have party agents in many polling units across the country, I gave up on LP. In PUs where parties have agents, they are bribed so that other contestants can win, let alone where there are no party agents.
For information, what Nigeria law legally recognized is the result declared at polling unit and uploaded to irev for all Nigerians to see, not the one that is meant for politicians. This is what makes the different between previous elections and 2023. Guilty conscience and God's judgment will definitely visits those that compromised our electoral system, except those that are not involved.

Mainman 7 or what did you call yourself, your long epistle is blaming Buhari, but you failed to blame the person that foster buhari on us. The man have quietly retired to his village in Daura, when the self-centered man went to invite him back to politics, now tell me who the greatest blame. You talk of cabal that are stealing our oil, these people, are they above the law? How many of them was arrested and our money stole collected back before subsidy removal? What sacrifice has he made political to make? What I believe is that anyone that wants the masses of this country to suffer more than what we suffer under Buhari, God will divinely intervene and save the masses in Jesus name.

He was also the best graduating student of the whole school in year 2000 at Yaba College of Technology. That was where it started!

I don't really fancy PBAT, but when it comes to selecting the best hands into offices, he goes for the best. Taiwo Oyedele is an accountant per excellence. If they will allow him work, he will do so well in that office.

I doubt if there's any better Tax guru than him in Nigeria today..

I am so happy with this appointment. Well deserved!

Lest I forget, Taiwo Oyedele became the first staff to rise to the post of Partner in less than five years joining the PWC(a foremost Audit firm in the world).

Still the life patron of the Professional Accountancy Students' Society (PASS) Yabatech chapter.
Well done, he is the only knowledgable accountant we have in this country, he has even monopolised accounting knowledge in Nigeria, nonsense.

We Nigerians need to learn how to suffer because we keep enjoying in this country not knowing the abroad people that we envy suffered pass us
You are so myopic, if you enjoy a government and 90% of your citizen are suffering, are you a normal person. We want Nigeria where all of us we have a better living condition and our lives secured, not where only sycophant like you will enjoy. You also ignorantly argued that people abroad are suffering, your pay master have his children live abroad and purchase property there.

PoliticsRe: Subsidy Removal As Elite Banditry, Reverse Robin Hoodism By Farooq A. Kperogi by benjaminlawson(m): 7:02pm On Jul 01, 2023
Mr. Farooq you are well said, those that are defending the removal are mostly political jobber, who sold the conscience for little money or those who are ignorance of the effects. How would government dancing to the dictate of World bank, is there any developing nations that prosper through following their policies? Corruption is the bane of our development, but that did not bother them, subsidy is there concern. Inflation of contract cost, padding of budget etc is not problem but subsidy. NNPC MD who claim he is releasing 100 million barren of patrol under subsidy regime when we only consume 60 million was not arrested to account for balance, the Nigerian masses will now be a scape goat for his corrupt did. Also, the issue of saying our patrol are smuggled out, did they sack custom CC and DCC or ACC or other principal officers of custom? because the work they are assigned to do they failed to do it, why must they receive salary? All the argument as Faqood have stated is not tenable. Before government will ask people to make sacrifice the politicians must first lead by example.
BusinessRe: Dangote Becomes $20m Wealthier, Maintains Spot As Africa’s Richest Man by benjaminlawson(m): 9:00pm On Jun 30, 2023
My worry is this, how would a person become the richest man in Africa, in a country where 133 millions out of about 200 million are poor, how come? But the reasons are simply, it is government made wealth, because monopoly was created for his goods, tax exemption was offered him, since there is no redistribution of wealth from him, he can become Super rich. The money used to build his refinery is government money according to Emefele, who claimed that the man has paid back substantial among of loan offered him, Also NNPC claimed that government has purchased 20% of the shares in his refinery at 2.5 billion Dallas, even without knowing the value of that share. How would he not be the richest man. Even, if a full is offered all the above he can also equal him in term of wealth.

They want everybody to become agbero so that they can use them the way they want when they want to dabaru election, because if you not educated, you are willing tool in their hand. And for those that claimed the government has started well, you can see that they actually started well by taken education out of the poor people's reach and commercialise it. They claimed the money saved out subsidy removal will be spent on education and at the same time they said they cant fund education.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Could that be the reason why Tinubu's supporters never ever said they will WASTE their vote?! grin

It is only when you are consciously and subconsciously very, very sure that the candidate you intend to vote for is going to lose, while the one who we all consciously and subconsciously know will win but we were so willing NOT to vote for an obvious winner because we hate him so much that we prefer to waste our vote on an obvious loser that is when we choose to waste our vote. The losers didn't come as a surprise at all.

Tinubu's win is neither a surprise. It is like Mancity win against Inter at the championship league final. Mancity win was too sure. Tinubu win was too sure since after he won the APC presidential ticket which was the only challenge for Tinubu, the rest was a free pass to victory.

Among those who wasted their votes, some are still wasting away in their loss while others like me are becoming more and more endeared to the winner, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu wanting to be part of his success. Tinubu's government will be so successful there is no doubting this.
By the time hunger from inflation inflicted by IMF policy, being implemented by your candidate suffocates you, it will done to you that you have made a wrong choice , meanwhile where do all apc members buying fuel at 200 naira please, I want to go there, because as a civil servant I can't afford to fill my tank with 30,000 naira, and I must transport my children to school and go to work.

Please its not about education, even if you are educated, God gave common sense of reasoning, but the problem in Nigeria is that of ethic and religious bias that has killed our sense of reasoning. This is what most of our wicked political leaders are using to enslave us continue corruptly enriching themselves, if I wonder how someone will be thinking that party agent result should be taken as authentic result.

Am yet to understand Nigerians, is it because of ethic and religious bias that has kill our sense of reasoning. How would a sane person come and tell us that party agents have the result, then irev does not matter. Is inec working for political parties or Nigerians, even if political parties have it, the other Nigerians is not entitled to the result real time? Irev is a creation of law to check the authenticity of result collated, now if there is dispute in result collated, where do we check the actual result at any level, as it happened at national collating center in Abuja, where Senator Dino was advocating that they should wait until the result is uploaded to irev before they continue the collation, but yakubu did not listing. Nigerians should not say because their candidate was favoured in the rigging then let it be, it may turn to you later. Up till today inec has not told any Nigeria the type of glitches they experienced, all what okoye was saying glitches, and that, he is not technically competent to explain the glitches, then send your expert to explain, after all, even if your so called expert lie, many Nigeria are there to expose his lies.

Now what are they going to do with budget padding, whereby computers and other equipment are always included in the budget every year.

How on earth can some borrow and divert it to individual account, and put us to a situation where our unborn generation will be paying the debt and go free with it.
