While ài agree with you this is an economic protest, I don't think he was wrong to posit that it could lead to a religious uprising. Big sallah is coming and coupled with the Covid19 situation, it could form the basis of a potential religious crisis if not properly managed. They're always looking for the avenue to do this. Pampered souls
abdulkayus: This is all false. That is how riot start in Kano. I have been in Kano for over 30 years and has witness riots that happen, but it doesn't happen this way. If it was protest about corpses of northerners brought from another (e.g sagamu riot) or protest about desecration of the Holy Quran or Holy Prophet, then yes, I can agree that it can lead to riots and lost of lives. But this protest is economic protest, it wouldn't lead to riot except faceoff between the protesters and security personnel. Most of u guys has never been to North but will be thinking that you know everything about them.
As usual, they'll mobilize the almajiris and other charlatans who don't even have a table or store to cause mayhem on the streets. Worried about the non-indigenes with stores there. I hope they keep safe though.
We are too angry as a nation. All the senators need to do is exhibit interest in the revealation and seek to investigate more but no, they try to muzzle Akpabio into silence ...not good. Akpabio is a former senator and ought to have been accorded respect though we all know he's not clean. We can't continue this way.

kikero: Am sure some people will soon come here and say the buildings are ugly
Well, the fees are less than N100000 naira only. That's $258. Meanwhile all those nice universites abroad charge fees as high as $10000 and above. So they can have nice and beautiful buildings.
Yes you can but you need strong motivation and focus to achieve this. Don't be carried away with all the rah rah about the many frameworks available out there. Just try to learn the basis and the rest will follow once you're well grounded.
romeo411: I honestly want to switch to programming as in carrier change, considering that I am 40, can I still make it giving every input I put in.
I get you clear but many may not understand where you were driving at. Many delved into software development because of the successes of renown platform owners etc and looked to becoming one. In doing this, they get distracted a lot and lose focus at the outset due to the many technologies out there. Some will say learn Laravel, others Java or React, NodesJS, Android, Swift etc. Focus is key
GrantCashel: I started out with php and java. It's was nice then showing off your latest android app(with help from stack overflow) and feeling like the next zuckerberg by building an fb clone. Every guy in my lodge(at uni) knew laravel, but you'd search the whole campus to find someone who could implement a crude version of PageRank. Of course you know it takes a great deal of theoretical cs to architect high performing software, and thats where the money is. For me, getting into web dev without knowing the underlying theory would be a waste of your time......at least it was for me.
Many don't understand that sexual harassment doesn't always mean attempting to have sex with that person but rather referring to any thing that has to do with that person's sex or sexual orientation in a negative manner. Insulting her over her failed marriages is sexual harassment.
Ooh dear. Driving in Nigeria is crazy and risky. The reason why when you alight from a vehicle, don't walk right in front of it as the driver might just zoom off hitting you, rather walk behind it.
It's difficult to understand who's at fault here but. Y thoughts is probably the friend saw her from afar and was reversing with speed to pull up along with her and missed it.
It's only in Nigeria you have to watch out for vehicles driving against traffic and when crossing the road you have to watch out on both sides for traffic. Rip baby girl
Nice one but are operating a Senate and House of Representative for the Federal Republic of Nigeria or they are just Senators and Reps of their respective states? Why not a bill to establish a Federal Medical Center in all states, local government areas that have none?
Nice initiative no doubt but this has been in play for decades naaa. By now their should be a playbook these artisans can reference without an elaborate approach by the government agencies
Number 11 - FRSC was not founded by WS though he may have used his relationship with IBB to champion its setting up and was the pioneer corp marshal. Ever since then, the corp has been manned the reserve of his 'boys'

18. Seun, I learnt you are also an alumni of Obafemi Awolowo University. Please take note that the Ori-Olokun that is found in the Museum is only a travesty. It is also quite unfortunate that the same fake image is used as the University Crest while the real artifact remains somewhere close to London

Very sad indeed What may have caused her death must have been too sudden else perhaps the doctors would've been able to save her baby at 8 months. We must be careful though in concluding whether its village people that caused her death or the public dancing display while preggers which I personally loathe but then, every one has their own preferences. To add that some people can be weird about seeking medical attention while pregnant ...you know all these 5G conspiracy theories and COVID19 ...in this time and age, no woman should die giving birth.
Been reading people's responses ...yes she's an adult but how old is she now? Young ladies who married at a very young age (way less than 23 years old) at a point in their life stats feeling trapped or lost their teenage years and are prone to having a divorce before they reach the age 30. Not projecting or wishing her a divorce but unless the guy can keep up to the trends teenagers are used to ....I'm sorry the future looks bleak. She's virtually growing up with the man's other teenage daughters, she will soon start seeing herself in their mould especially when they start dating and starts craving it.
PhilipReigns: Grand daughter! Leave her, just like her mother she too will likely end up a single mother. Let her enjoy the money while it last.
Regiona Daniels married as a virgin? I laugh... Perhaps all the Nollywood directors and movie executives are impotents.
Should she be paraded at that age? Why not arrest the guy for not making effort to send her back home?
robosky02: 14-year-old girl has been paraded by the Police in Bayelsa state after she left her home and parents to be with a boy she met on Facebook.
