''heldmen'' why you dey vex?

treason in my opinion is subjective, the stipulative definition of treason can very from one clime to another, however treason in this regard generally involves commiting extreme acts against one's nation, such as helping his/her nation's enemies or competitors deliberately at the expense of his nation (covert most often).In this case the man in question was open about his stand point, and there are no enemies, he only has a different opinion on what the country needs in opposition to what the ruling government thinks the country needs, in the case we will not be granted the loan due to his submission then it will be because his reasons for going against supercedes the presidency's reasons for going in favour

I rather do drugs and get caught than killing innocent children for money rituals. Proudly igbo.

I beg my guy walk, when next the topic of discussion is on money rituals walk in. besides that your statement justifies not drug peddling, no wrong can undo another wrong.

Why the governor might be making a lot of sense(if he actually asserted this), i doubt the sincerity of his submission. He belongs to a party that apparently defrauded Nigeria for over 16 years in the name of democracy. It took one man in a distant land a little more than that to lift his country into the realm of greatness. He will be forever remebered for that. Nigeria virtually borrowed money all through the PDP era, except during a period when former president obasanjo got lucky enough to recover some of abacha's loot, and paid some of our debts, even with that, the rest of the recovered loot probably never existed. I suppose Mr Fayose would not be taken seriously, how wonderful it is to belong to the opposition. In our present state, thanks to our ever selfless past leaders, there is virtually nothing else we can do than borrow, there comes the question why are we borrowing?, if our reason for borrowing such amount of money was to pay our ever industrious and empathetic lawmakers, then it is not worth borrowing, but if it would be used to fund futuristically plausible projects, that will at least save us from our seemingly inherent affinity for mediocrity, it is a step in the right direction. Though my submission is harsh, until our lawmakers begin starving for the progression of our nation that is only defined by name, we will linger in our pitiable state till men begin to conceive children, 50 years from now we will gladly celebrate what we should have done 200 years in the past. I am praying fervently looking forward to a period of revolution where only 10% of the budget will go into paying the personnel working in the arms of government, i mean na only food them for they give them,i took a look at the controversial budget and i shook my head in admiration of our lofty level of intelligence, i sometimes feel that na comot we comot out of God. This is really tough, theist, atheist or believer, we all are sentient beings, so whatever you do to youself does not really matter, as far has it is not at the expense of others. When we reach an era during which our leaders earmark less than 15% of the budget for salaries, then will i be upbeat about a future for this nation. I cannot vouch for a country that pays people just to sit and discuss issues and pass into laws things that will not in the long run translate into averageness talkless of greatness, people that get paid monthly even though they only meet occasionally. I think we as Nigerians have to sit down and invent a new kind of system that suits us as a people, becos obviously democracy is just another puzzle we are yet to solve. I will say again Mr Buhari got more than he bargained for, he cannot blame others for that, cos he promised us he would deliver, but why would he not do this if we nigerians are people that go after things that we want not things that we need , myopia is just the least of the infirmities we are suffering from as a people, when i consider our population and our standard of living and i think of Nigeria as a country that needs to be placed on auction, if one force dey do us self, ati to ja ni. However if anyone of us here is that close to Mr Fayose, tell him that his well thought-out treatise is well taken but charity begins at home. May God help us. God bless Nigeria.

I believe God wanted to test the work of his hand, if you read the bible thoroughly, you would realize that God did not create man alone; in genesis chapter 1, the pronoun 'us' in reference to who created man was used,maybe God deemed it fair, even in the fullness of his glory, power and authority, to involve his other heavenly creation in his final decision(most superior earthly creation). Note:Some beings were created to make their own choices, but before he created man and the tree, lucifer had rebeled, in this light he dared that man was imperfect given their freewill, so God being everly patient to prove his utmost authority and power by allowing the devil to do his best against his will, put man to test. This is my discernment. I rest my case.

ur founder had over 12 wives. He is nt a true Christian

he was human, he was not infallible, but moreover who are we to judge, you can advice others to try as much as possible to avoid marrying so many wives to avoid the trouble it brings along, but once they have been caught in issues like this, you have no authority whatsoever to judge any man. Peace

Going by the trend of the argument i suppose that the topic should have been the ''A Quintessential Graduate of a Nigerian University-A product of self-development or the institution. So the first quesiton goes, what do you expect from a typical university graduate, or what characteristics define a quintessential graduate generally, all things being equal, first of all a graduate, however perfect he his, is a product of his/her institution, because it is the institution that defines who a graduate his, every institution has cetain principlesi n place that defines who a a graduate is, in the case of Nigeria, given the deplorable state of our education, we would have to define our own 'quintessential', infact that word is relative, the world is fast changing that it is becoming more difficult to define who a true graduate is, do you define a graduate as a paragon example if he graduates in the top 5% of his class or the institution? it appears as if the job market defines a perfect graduate differently from institutions. they require cetain qualities from a graduate for which he is defined as prime, however it might have shone off some self-development.Hower we cannot erase the institution from the background of the scheme, so if an institution defines a quintessential graduate as one who excels in academics, so be it,nonetheless the school offers you the platform to acquire whatever self-development you give credence to, it proffers to you a way to an opportunity, all depends on you to grab that opportunity. All in all, in this modern era i think the definition of a true graduate is relative, varying from one school to another, for example in the sciences, where research is becoming more and more pronounced at the undergraduate level, depending on the field-bias of hte school, the quality of your research work could define your quintessence, for example i do not really enjoy the traditional university education certain, even though i am currently being enroled in one of good quality, i would prefer doing research myself, i feel secondary education is enough, but deeply i understand the importance of schooling in a prestigious system, access to research opportunities, though i might be able to search for a lot of things on the internet, there is just no place like the environ that disseminates that very information, you get to communicate with the very embodiments of these innovative ideas firsthand, even tually if and when i develop a mind-blowing theory, and i dont graduate at the top of the class even though that is possible, my professors as much as myself will infact define me as 'quintessential'. All in all an institution defines your imagined world, but you make yourself ready for that world,it predisposes you to that self-esteem, that trahnsfers to your self-development,so it is only fair to give respect to the one that creates imagination, and let us be mindful of the fact that this debate is about graduates, not succes in the worlf, of which self-development is almost indispensable. God bless Nigeria.

OAUTemitayo:
Amalgamation of Nigeria:
An Historic mistake:
Position: Support
OauTemitayo Representing OAU.

The foundation of any civil society is justice, fairness and equity.
Amalgamation is the mixture of two or more things together according to Colin's dictionary.
The amalgamation of Southern and Northern protectorate in 1914 was the height of injustice and insensitivity by the British colonialists on the right to self determination of the various ethnic groups living across the area.
Any society or country built on falsehood, deception and unwilling compulsion of several homogenous people against their will into one will fail. The balkanisation of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Sudan, Pakistan and India is a pointer to this. Even advanced socities such as United Kingdom (Northern Ireland and Scotland), Spain (Catalonia and Basquets) Canada (French speaking part) are still battling with secessionist agitations as a result of lumping together people of diverse cultures and languages.
Nigeria was actually created as a company by the British as the United Africa Company to expand British business and hegemony.
According to Chief Richard Akinjide, the British amalgamated only the administration of the southern and northern protectorates of Nigeria and not the inhabiting people.
Justice demands that people should be involved in all decisions that can make or mar them now or in the future. It is a known and unarguable fact at no time did the Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas, Itsekiris and other ethnic groups sat down together to approve their forceful union.
By excluding the indigenous people from taking part in the decision that will decide their future, the British committed a deplorable crime against humanity. The amalgamation which was deliberate and calculative is today why Nigeria has refused to be a home desired by all. If the Igbos are not agitating today for Biafra, the Niger Delta would be canvassing for the control of their resources.
It is known worldwide that countries with people of the same language, culture and tradition are usually united and focused on development. The British deliberately lumped together people of diverse ethnicity, language and tradition just to serve their own administrative and financial interest.
Even British colonial officers such as the legendary Harold Smith has confessed that the amalgamation of Nigeria was wrong and unfair to some parts of Nigeria.
The amalgamation was done in such a way that a particular part of the country has some sort of political leverage over the other parts.
Such is the political leverage that issues such as expertise, qualifications and intellectual ability are being shoved aside on the basis of Federal character. A look at admission requirements for entering Nigerian universities will highlight the injustice being meted on brilliant students from certain parts of Nigeria through their disqualification not because they did not perform better than some admitted students, but because of an unfair and illogical policy called Educationally less developed states program which demands that less intelligent students be admitted before them. This injustice is not peculiar to the education sector, it is a general norm in all spheres of life in Nigeria. This has led to promotion of mediocrity over expertise in government settings and the nation as a whole. The result of the above is the failure of Nigeria to develop economically, and politically beyond the yardstick of a third world country due to the supremacy of federal character over intelligence and expertise.
Such is the flawed foundation of the country that even after over hundred years of the amalgamation, Nigeria is still battling with basic problems such as food security problems (we are still importing majority of what we are eating such as rice and others even though we have an arable land that is more than enough), inadequate power generation (despite spending over twenty trillion naira on the sector we are still generating 4000MW for a population of over 160 million when South Africa a country with half population of ours generates over 50,000MW), poor road network, poor health facilities, terrible education sector (or how do you explain students dying on the collapse of classrooms that should have been renovated) etc. This are problems synonymous with mediocrity, lack of direction, loss of sense of dignity and poor leadership born out of the apparent lopsidedness of the country structurally.
The mistrust among the over 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria has led to unending ethnic clashes and the loss of millions of lives. The Nigerian civil war, Itsekiri Vs Ijaw, Fulani vs Agatu in the middle belt, Hausas vs Jos indigenes, Yoruba vs Hausa at mile 12 and many more are examples. Even our celebrated leaders such as Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikwe and Ahmadu Bello did not believe in the oness of Nigerians considering the various divisive statements credited to them.
Salient issues such as accountability and corruption cases are usually given ethnic colouration by opposing ethnic groups trying to support their kinsmen who in most cases are only using them as a means to an end.
The fact that majority of European and Asian countries are made up majorly of one ethnic group and the progress, development and peace existing in such countries when compared with the homogenous countries of Africa which have been riddled with so many problems such as ethnic wars and poor leadership points to the fact the amalgamation of several ethnic groups into one as done in Nigeria was a great mistake.
Conclusively, if after hundred years we are still battling with issues such as ethnic clashes, mistrust and basic economic problems such as food scarcity, then we need to have a rethink and accept the fact that the amalgamation of Nigeria which is the foundation of the entity called Nigeria is faulty and therefore will lead us to nowhere.

Even though the amalgamation of 1914 was a mistake by hindsight, as the main parties in that consummation at that time considered to a large extent the economic benefits of it, it was not the single most important blow that plunged Nigeria into its current situation, i will ascribe most of the blame to bad leadership- the selfishness of the leaders we have had over the years. It is understandable to refer to the amalgamation when matters concerning the livability of Nigeria are discussed, but it will only serve the effect of consoling us for a short while, but like a hangover, we will wake up to the reality of our own failure in the long run. Nigeria would not be the first country to experience such landslide change, other countries have witnessed a progressive transformation after such historic union. I hope you know the british also colonized singapore,as at the time they gained independence from uk, the singaporean population was majorly composed of people from China, malaysia and india, and infact there are four official languages in singapore, but over a period of 10 years from 1990-2010 the illiterate level reduced from 60% to 20%, thanks to the effective leadership of lee kwan yew. He led singapore from a third world economy to a first world economy, mind you singapore gained independence 5 years after we did. My brother, change is inevitable but the most important thing question is 'how do we adapt to the process of change when it finally comes'. We have failed ourselves, we would not be talking about this if our leaders had done it right. Why would i would i loath the thought co-existing with my fellow human, if i have just as much right as he does. We were given the mantle to rule ourselves but one man threw the baton away before he could pass it to the next, when another was handed a new one, he did the same without any iota of conscience. All things being equal if we cannot exist as a nation, then how backward we really are, the british made a mistake, which we could counteract , but we over-reacted and made a bigger mistake that tripped us over into the abyss of hopelessness. We have outlived the history the british made at our expense, we are now living our own history, the history our leaders made for us. The british put our legs in boiling water, it left a scar,and you detested it as an act of injustice, fine, you obtained a right to self-rule, and in a somewhat pre-meditated way, you lowered that leg into a pot of boiling oil, so who commited injustice in this case. We did, injustice by our leaders on humanity, because i am sure God did not create us to think this way, we evolved our own patterns of thought. You have made a very good point about the mistake of the amalgamation, but saying that it is the reason we are still under-developed deviates from reality, if you sum all the funds that had been embezzled since independence, it would just be enough to raise a country from scratch to developed. I repeat again, change is inevitable but your ability to react positively to change is vital, we witnesses change but we reacted negatively towards it, that's our failure.I stand to be corrected. God bless Nigeria.

Must they rule?
Aren't they satisfied with being ministers and law makers?

[size=15pt]**modified**[/size] I just had to bring this post foward.

Equal rights Equal rights yet they would be the one to always ask for help in the most mundane ish.

Equal employment opportunities yet they would ask for 6months maternity leave, heartbreak leave and if care is not taken, they would ask for menstrual cramps leave!

Equal rights yet a man is crucified before the world and press the moment a lady accuses him of rape, without even hearing his side And if tables are turned the man (victim) is mocked!

Equal rights yet a man is expected to always be the provider in a home, and in a situation where the man lags behind, he is called a lazy man, nobody calls the woman that!

Equal rights yet in dire emergency situations women and children are carried to saftey 1st. And the men maybe later.

Where do I start and where do I stop?
God will punish the next mouth that shouts equal rights. Wether owned by a man or woman!!!

I agree with you jare, we need to consider the technicalities in discussing issues of this kind, before we can consider this African women must have learnt to live independently. Given our cultural values and norms, men are regarded as the ultimate provider for the family, it is said that ''to whom much is given much is expected', so if women are serious about their demands for equal rights, then they must learn to live independently, and must be able to provide for their immediate family as much as their, the situation is in short a catch-22-a solution likely poses a problem- the more women are availed with equal rights and responsibilities, the more institutions that hold family bonds together are threatened. Also considering the life of women, productivity will be greatly affected in certain sectors of the economy, if they are given equal opportunities-Maternity leave and so on and so forth. I mean women between 20 and 40. As much as there are certain issues involving the marginalization of women that should be addressed, equal rights is in my opinion out of it, We all have our places in the society.We should not aspire to the position of others. However if one person treats you with contempt in your own place,then you have a reasonable case to file.We all have our Physical and social roles in the society, naturally and physically it is impossible for a man to conceive a child, if you contest this and prove the other way round is possible naturally, then we can consider it naturally and culturally possible for women and men to have equal rights. On this note, let us maintain the order of things, as nature(God for believers) dictates. I rest my case.

OAUTemitayo:
Equating HND with BSC: A panacea to Technological Advancement/ Innovative ideas.
Position: Support
Oautemitayo Representing OAU.

All protocols duly observed.
The discrimination against HND holders in the public service and business establishments across the country is not only a disservice to the mission for the technological development of this nation, it is an injustice being meted on innocent graduates of polytechnics.
HND which stands for higher national diploma is a graduate certificate awarded to individuals who have successfully completed a four year study and an extra year of industrial training and was actually meant for the provision of middle-level technical manpower for the technical and engineering sector of the economy.
The disparity in the ranking of HND and degree if critically examined is one of the factors militating against the advancement of technology in Nigeria.
Nigerian education curriculum as we all know is modelled after the British system. In Britain, an HND is a two year programme and is considered as equivalent to the second year of a three year degree programme. But unlike the British HND which is a two year programme, Nigerian HND is a five year programme requiring two years of studying for OND, one year of industrial training and another two years for the HND programme itself. If HND holders in Britain a developed country spend just two years in getting their certificates and are still given the chance of spending just two extra years to get a full fledged Bachelor's degree making a total of just four years used for getting a degree certificate, why should Nigerian HND holders who have to spend five solid years in getting their certificates not accorded the same status as people who will spend just four years in getting their certificates?
If degree holders are better than HND holders why are major establishments in the industrial and technical sector advertising vacancies and accepting applications from both HND and degree holders for same positions? The fact that major establishments including government institutions normally accept applications from the holders of HND certificates for same positions degree holders are applying for is a conscious acceptance of the fact that the former are capable of excelling on same level with degree holders. If they can do the same thing perfectly why then should there be a ranking that put the degree holders at an advantage over the HND holders?
The argument of some people that it is students with poor academic ability that usually opt for polytechnic education because they don't have high scores in JAMB like their counterparts in the universities holds no water and cannot stand both logical and scientific test when one put into consideration the fact that HND holders normally undertake practical industrial training popularly called IT and this has bridged the gap between the two set of graduates.
It is rather unfortunate that some students are allowed to use pre-degree a one year preparatory course as entrance requirement into Nigerian universities to make up for their failure to meet the same entrance cut off marks that polytechnic students are accused of not meeting but the extra one year HND holders use for industrial training is not considered when they are being ranked.
Considering the alarming rate of examination malpractice in Nigeria where there are special centers for JAMB where students are deliberately aided in cheating, shouldn't we even ponder on the theory that polytechnic students could be the ones who are getting their really deserved scores because they cannot cut corners like the ironically smart ones in the Universities?

The disparity in the grading of this two certificates have turned majority of HND holders into poorly motivated workers in the country as a result of the injustice in the working environment they found themselves. This has led to HND holder withholding innovative ideas that could advance the fortunes of the country since they have the feeling that they are not accorded same respect their degree counterparts are getting. This has proven to be a major cause of animosity in business and government establishments.
This animosity has in turn led to lack of unity, cohesion and unity at the establishments thereby creating a working environment unsuitable for producing technological innovations and products.
HND holders have proven themselves in different positions as capable graduates of equal intellectual ability with their university counterparts.
What can a bachelor degree holder in mechanical engineering do that an HND holder in mechanical engineering cannot do? Nothing speaking from past and recent happenings. We have heard of polytechnic students designing various technological products of high value just like their university counterparts.
Several panels set up in the past by the federal government on the HND/Degree dichotomy have recommended the upgrading of the HND to same status with the degree yet successive administrations refuse to yield to the crying of equity and justice.
The failure of university graduates to take Nigeria out of its technological backwardness is an indication that the current system of rating them above their HND colleagues have turned them into graduates without competition which should have been the motivation to drive them towards entrepreneurship initiatives which will in turn lead to technological products being developed by both HND and degree holders as a result of tough competition to outperform the other.
Government should as a matter of urgency do the needful by equating HND with Degree through appropriate legislations that must be enforced both in the public and private establishments across the country.
Conclusively, it is my opinion that equating HND with degree will give HND holders a sense of belonging and turn graduates of polytechnics and universities into dynamic competitors in the mission to advance our technology sector.

Nice piece, but there is one thing we need to consider deeply, as much as a system is as bad as its environment, inorder words, no matter how sound a system is technically, its approriateness is most important. Before we can consider equating these two systems, we must consider what they stand for. From the little i have read about our education system here, it is based on the british educational paradigm, Its a colonial legacy, a legacy is not known only by the ideologies it conveys but also by the reality of it, the feasibilty of it, its ability to thrive in its environment. In a largely industrialized nation like Britain, where different professions exist, the creation of such a sytem would but be just suitable, to serve the different needs of citizens. I can tell you that Britain never considered creating a system of co-existing systems until there was a need too. In the typical Nigerian environment, there is no need for such co-existence. Accepting some legacies of our colonial masters, thinking that since it is characteristic of a florishing nation, it would be most suitable was our greatest undoing. If Nigeria was a largely industrialized and organized country there would be no reason to equate them, because their different purposes would stand out. In my opinion one of this two should be scrapped, though it seems its rather too late for that. However in this given circumstance where we have to live with our mistakes, i opine that the government should state the objectives of the two different systems clearly, establishing as a statutory and a code of ethics that guides companies to match the products of the systems to positions.
As far as i am concerned, universities are largely research-based, fashioned to introduce innovations, but polytechnics are largely fashioned to keep up with this innovations, while a computer science university graduate would be thinking of creating a new computer language that does better than python, a computer science polytechnic graduate would be contented with knowing how to use python effectively. So you see technically they aredifferent, but in a country like Nigeria, they end up doing the same, so does this give us any reason to equate them?. No we should rather define their place in our society.
My piece.
God bless Nigeria.

One wrong does not justify another,In fact this is just what has plunged us into the abyss of moral decadence. Karma does not understand why you do the wrong you do, Karma just requires you to make recompenses for your wrongs, it pushes to make those indemnities unknowingly. Unfortunately Karma relies on people to cancel out wrongs, but you might think this is 1-1, but it is actually 1-1 carry one, the executer(he/she and his/her offsprings) of this recompensation then becomes another victim of the stranglehold of Karma. This is how our world has become so complicated. So somehow by serving as the arm of Karma, we are complicating today's future.So which would you protect, your future or today?

Easy now.

Well, there is absolutely no problem with the man carrying the child, but what was the young man doing there in the first place, or probably he is also a model too. This was just a glaring gaffe.No matter how modern you guys can make our world look like, a woman must still take her place. Its just out of place for a woman doing nothing but carrying her bag, while the man carries the baby. If the lady was doing osmething tedious that requires the man to carry the baby it would be suitable. And to people posting texts that- the woman carried the baby for nine months so it's not wrong for the man to carry the baby now- i would say that is way out of the argument. That should not ba reason why the man should carry the baby.That phenomenon;women conceiving and carrying the baby for nine months is just part of the order of life. A person must only deputize for another exclusively on the basis of the other person having a legitimate reason for not being able to perform his/her duties.Anything different from this is only out of the window.

Interesting fact: For all pythagorean triples, the product of the terms of each triple is always a positive integer multiple of the sum of the terms

MicKaro:
Rubbish, Young Bingham used the bible to enslave blacks under pretense of the Gospel and what if circumstances make me marry two wives, is that a sin.

Which one be this, you need to read my post again,and as a sane person you dont argue a point that way.circumstances sometimes makes people make bad choices, all things being equal and in order, polygamy is a bad choice. given the circumstances some people find themselves, polygamy is just indispensable, this is why we as humans cannot be perfect, we can only attempt perfection. in the firstplace inorder to discuss this issue we would have to be on the same ground, if you do not believe in christian values as i do, i guess we cannot continue this conversation, i cannot argue with your belief. If you are not a christian you can ignore this. I repeat again ' In the beginning God created a man, then he created a companion, what does this tell us, God intended it to be done that way. If God is without blemish then his works must be without blemish.Onto the main topic, we would have to read deeper to comprehend the scripture in the old testament that talks about tattoos. The Isrealites then were chosen people, so if God directed the Isrealites not to inscribe tattos on themselves, tattos must have been associated with unholiness. Maybe the pagans then inscribed tattoos in reverence of their gods or God did not in anyway want the Isrealites to associate with the pagans, it will begin with trading in tatto inks, then end with God's people being corrupted. So God expecting his people to worship him only, tattos associated with pagan worship would incur the wrath of God, meanwhile you must note that we are the Isrealites of yesterday. This is in trying to understand that particular direction, but because that is only my opinion i cannot be sure if that was the mind of God, i will adhere to that priciple and not inscribe tattoos, the most important question we should ask ourselves is, why do people put tattoos on their skin. most of our reasons for doing it lies with our want and demand for tangible tihings to qualify intagible things. this is the way of humans. We are gullible of that. But if tattoo in anyway gets you closer to God then i will advice you tattoo all over. My piece.

Slavery ıs an act that wıll always lıve wıth man, all humans are not equal on economic grounds, so the tendency of one person becoming a slave of another is not impossible, despite this, the old testament specifies how slaves must be treated, also the old testament as opposed to what you indicated does not support polygamy, if it does not touch on it you cannot conclude that the old testament supports. In the beginning the bible says God realized, it was not appropriate for Adam to be alone, so he provided a companion, tht was one person, what more should explain God's stand of the number of spouses if not this. Polygamy in old testament was a choice. In fact if we get the entire story of the patriarchs that married more than one wife, circumstances lead them to that decision, like in the case of jacob.In Deut 17:17 God told the Isrealite Kings not to marry many wives. Even the new testament never came against polygamy clearly, it emphasized on monogamy,polygamy was the making of man, not God, so if you say the old testament allows Polygamy, the new testament does not diallow it, it emphasized on how God created it from the beginning, Jesus even made reference to the old testament. Polygamy in my opinion is a matter of choice. The bible says if your right hand will cause you to sin, cut it off, it is better to enter the kingdom of God maimed that languishing in hell full. So be wise my firend.

As much as there is no doubt that God created everything out of nothing, he created a mechanism, its this mechanism that Science tries to explain thus generalizing it other phenomena. Science has samples the various combination of a component with other substances and afterwards predicts that a scenarion must take place if that component combines with another. Science as per the limit of human intellect is the truth.So if someone tries to explain why two ocean meet but do not mix, try to understand his reasoning, if you cannot ignore it, no one is preventing you from expressing your opinion, people with like minds will understand one's scientific explaination and discuss it. In fact this is probably one way to keep this thread active, if you only opine that its the mystery of God's creation, well you are not wrong, but the discussion ends there, and you must note that science to a large extent does not explain exceptions it explains generalities, though in some cases exceptions encountered still remain connected to the generalities, so that link could become an explaination.If someone expresses a scientific proposition, it does not mean he does not believe in God, attempt to understand it, or if it does not make sense to you ignore it, it might make sense to others.We are what we think of ourselves. God bless Nigeria.

6.

Well as far as she wants to keep one of the cookies in the jar, and nt to herself she can give the last person a cookie in the jar

Explorers:
1. How many Black dots can you see?

None

In my opinion, the school is to be blamed for this experience.
1.Why would they release the list late?
2. Why would the system admit students competing for the same spot into different pre-programs?
3. Why is there no contingency plan to take care of this case?
The media at large must be engaged in this, Justice must be served.

Vlodoskia:
Well noted. And Univ of toronto?

University of toronto will likely be releasing both their admission and scholarship decisions at the same time in late march

dougivilla:
Was this part of the campaign promises?


When will this administration commission her first project or lay her first foundation for any building, even if na prison? When??

Be enlightened my friend every leader both good or bad will have to make lofty promises to take up the reins of power in Nigeria, at least for now. Every right thinking Nigeria would know even before SAI picked up the baton that he will not be able to achieve all of it in 8 years, there has been so much decay to the point of no return. But to be frank with you, i thinmk SAI means well for us, but he got more than he bargained for, the Nigerian political mechanism has eluded him, i only hope he will understand it fully in time.

genearts:
