I think it's exclusively government recruitment program but it would have been okay if they partnered with the private sector because government can't provide all the jobs.

However, if people are taking advantage of this without government's approval, it becomes a criminal act.

All these politicians sef.

Dino! Going!! Gone!!!

One thing I detest about some opinion leaders in this country is that they don't make a reasonable point without attaching religion, politics or ethnicity. Are their brains so warped that those are the only things that filter in?

It seems cruel now has another meaning.*Grabs Oxford dictionary*

Weyrenle.

That's the way of the world.

What is democracy?

How much is 20m out of tatty billion for akant? Even if they bombed him with damages, the little daddy will pay.

It's reasonable and logical that Buhari should not even contest APC Presidential Primary. Even if he comes back before then, the rigours of campaign alone is enough to knock him out. Except he goes the OBJ/ Yar'dua way but Nigerians are now wiser.

What is this? When teenagers like Mpappe are already worth more than $100m. But dem still try sha.

Why the variation of inflation rates even within the same country.

If na joke abeg, stop am. Where's the snake, fa?

This man again?

I'm so sure that Glo Sammie or what's his name does not use Glo internet.

I think this fight will be to Mayweather's advantage. He is a complete boxer while McGregor is into mixed martial art. That means he can't explore all his potentials including using his legs. Mayweather is a smart businessman.

Maximum prison inside BH enclave? Though the idea might be good due to the vast land available there and it can like Nigeria's Guantanamo Bay but it's going to be a risky venture due to the porous nature of the place.

I used to think we adopted green due to our national flag, now I've learnt a new thing.

The condom broke.

Good points you have there but if I may ask, are you are love-vendor?

His church is looking make-shift and scanty. Only the stubborn ones are still attending.

I guess this was after he won the election. It probably took place in Daura, there's nothing out of this world about it.

sarahade:
you are foolish for this comment. You people think everything is a joke abi

Do you deserve a reply? No Do I ignore your gutter language? No Don't allow the frustration of this country to affect your reasoning.

Who knows, it might be a comedy skit from AY.

Hired killer that use rope, is that one a hired killer?

They should introduce bathroom slippers, singlet and boxers, I swear there won't be anywhere to hide money.

On the 22nd of April, 1985, the National Security Organization (NSO) arrested a 35-year-old lady named Gloria Okon at the Aminu Kano International airport for smuggling substances suspected to be heroin and other kinds of hard drugs. She was about to leave Nigeria for England when she was caught with 56.70 grammes of the substances, 301 dollars, 60 pounds sterling, N20,000 and 19,000 Italian lira.


The news of Gloria Okon’s apprehension flooded both local and international media. Nigerians were eager to know her fate because then, Decree no. 20 of the Buhari military junta declared anyone caught with hard drugs punishable by death. But on April 28, 1985, six days after Gloria Okon was arrested, she died in a very mysterious and controversial manner while in custody.

Medical report stated that the cause of her death was food poisoning. It was said that she didn’t show any sign of illness when arrested until a day after. A custom officer who kept Gloria Okon in custody said that that on the day she was arrested, she requested for rice and beans and she was given, and later she started complaining then died. Before her death, she was interrogated but refused to talk. She only left a very slim clue; she mentioned the name Bassey but without a second name which dragged the investigation to a dead end.


Oldnaija.com gathered that none of Gloria Okon’s relatives showed up to claim her corpse and that further shed light on the dark part of the saga.
After Babangida removed Buhari from power,
Gani Fawehinmi , a prolific lawyer, set to revive the investigation of Gloria Okon’s case but ended up crashing into the walls of Haliru Akilu and Kunle Togun, top security agents of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.


In the absence of no conclusion on Gloria Okon’s case, several speculations began to spread like wildfire among Nigerians. Some believed that Gloria Okon was working for the first lady, Mariam Babangida , and Okon was killed so that she won’t reveal the secret. Some people also believed that Gloria Okon’s death was faked and the corpse sent to her family was not hers. It was also said that she was living her normal life over the seas while portrayed dead in Nigeria.
In June 2009, Professor Taiyemiwo Ogunade, in an interview with THE NATION said:

“ Gloria Okon is actually Chinyere, that’s her real name. She married Charles “Jeff” Chandler, the fellow who killed Nzeogwu and was killed a day later. Chinyere, Maryam and Princess Atta were young friends who hung out together. They all married into the military, because the military was a proud and respectable profession then.

Charles Chandler, who was Tiv, married Chinyere who I think is from Imo State. IBB married Maryam from Asaba and Mamman Vatsa married the princess. So Chinyere became a widow and resorted to trading between UK and Nigeria. And then she was caught with drugs; Mamman Vatsa was the person who put Chinyere on the next available flight from Kano to London – and then claimed that she was dead by parading a dead woman picked out of the mortuary.

Dele Giwa later found out that she was in London having delivered a baby by another man. He sent a French photographer to the place and they saw Maryam Babangida at the event. Kayode Soyinka brought back the photographs.
Dele was sitting across the table from Kayode examining the photos taken of “Gloria Okon” (Chinyere, Richard Chandler’s wife) at the naming ceremony in London. Maryam

Babangida was there. And then a letter parcel was delivered to him and he said excitedly that it must be from “Mr. President” referring to the discussions he had with IBB days earlier. The bomb exploded and severed his lower abdomen; he died a few hours later. ”

Till today, the mysterious case of Gloria Okon has not been solved and no one seem not to be interested in re-opening the closed case; permanently closed case? A question worth asking.

The key word is the ponyor sharing.

Which ponyor are they sharing again? Is it hard currency?

UrennaNkoli:
beautiful nonsense.. They end up studying in harvard, oxford ,MIT, cambridge, penssylvania, peking and much more. Those kids there receive quality education from the best and seasoned of teachers..

See ehn! We are still talking about the same thing. Given equal financial opportunity and parental influence and exposure, the children who attend public an low paying private school can cut their teeth in all these schools you mentioned.

I don't expect students from these secondary schools to attend any Nigerian public university. They either go abroad or attend a private university. But one thing I notice about them is they have better command of English language, they're exposed but are not usually as academically brilliant as their counterparts in public or low paying secondary schools.
