The one that acted as a pastor can we call him a pastor or relate him to Christianity? The same way some devils are disguise as a Muslim and killing people. But the low level sense of Nairalanders will open their mouth and insulting Islam. Allah will guide you all to the right path.

Muslim apologists desperate to absolve their faith from the terror it has fraught on the world. Any average Muslim able to read his Koran and Hadith and with any level of honesty knows very well that the real Muslims are the ISIS, Ai-Qaeda, Boko Haram and other terrorists. The commandment for their actions is written in plain language in your holy books. The rest of you are the ones the Quran calls the hypocrites who would be dealt with after ISIS and other "soldiers of Allah" have destroyed the rest of us kafirs

Nobody is talking about their religion! Only if they were Muslims...

We don't yet know if they are Muslims. It's possible. Umaru Dikko dressed in catholic clothes when he disguised to escape Nigeria. I'm sure you didn't know some things are possible

wiseoneking:
Sorry, i pity you and your prayer. Which God will bless you like obj? You called that man most respected in sleeping with his sons daughter, abi? Is it a culture in your place. A man that never trained his children and publickly fight with them. A man that cannot keep home and go for any thing on skirt, divorcing with multiple wives. May you do thesame and succed in life like obj. Say Amen. That shows your inner feelings. Some of you seem not to understand what a true success means. This man is covered with the innocent blood of zakibiam infants and mothers. Odi peoples cursed is still on him as well as his ill gotten corrupt wealth which you are vividly aware of. Tomorrow you start shouting corruption but the most corrupt Nigerians are your dear hero. I pity you. Shame! You call him successful, do like wise or get the ritual route. Obj your successful icon did worst than ritual.

Certainly you're under 40 and you don't know about history and politics. You think life at the highest level of leadership is about the little pep talk your mommy gave you on morality. It is not

daretodiffer:
Can't you see that 'I am an animal' is written on their foreheads? You must be so so stvvpid.

I suppose the ones that are mocked without even getting the chance to say or show who they are wrote "I want to be disgraced" on their foreheads. Fool. Rat. Do you know me? I've seen everything in a life that you're just starting in the same stupidity as those who came before you. Mumu

INTROVERT:
Can God change some animals called men >:

After all the insults that suitors get from girls who are only open to the very best Knight in shining armour, you still manage to choose an animal? Whose fault then?

totorimi:
I am only responding to you because I see that you have a problem hearing the bitter truth.
When. federal govt was in Lagos it was understandable to have govt workers live and build houses in Lagos. Now govt has moved to Abuja why would a jobless non Lagosian youth begin to claim tenement rights
That person is a thief and must be treated as such you go to your fatherland to claim such
Intact of Lastma catches a non lagosian flaunting the rules such should be given the Lind of treatment that when he/she comes out the next in such a persons mind is to go home and develop their place


Why would Zenith bank have their head office here when it can be in delta state and only branches will be here
Is it not networking you need to connect to the datacrnyer.
Lagos state must from now on tighten the noose for non Lagosians. Either you go back home or you go yo abuja federal govt seat Lagos belongs to Lagosians first before others.

You're even lower than the average Nigerian. That's a feat. TO THE REST: please read this individual's comment o, and tell me whether we shouldn't go and cage him for display. He clearly isn't yet reconciled to reality of human life

Nigeria doesn't really have a democracy, it has an oligarchy. It is one of the greatest misrepresentations of the English language to describe the APC as a progressive party with Tinubu and Buhari as "progressives" and contrasting with the PDP as "elitist". All parties in Nigeria are elitist. Elitism is the substance from which politics is formed in Nigeria. I don't know a greater elitist in today's politics than Tinubu who, on account of having been just a civilian governor of Lagos State, practically owns the state now. His own daughter, a "small girl" was forced on old market women as Iyaloja to replace her grandmother. Tinubu's empty-headed wife was made a Senator from Lagos. We cannot even mention the monetary value of the landed and other assets Tinubu now controls in Lagos. This is a state that had military dictators as governors who could do what they want due to no military accountability, yet some like Ndubuisi Kanu is so ordainary today you see him in Joe Odumakin's activists rallies. Certainly he can't be so powerful and wealthy and still be doing activist under Odumakin. Is it Buhari we want to talk about? Buhari is in the mold of all other Northern leaders: he's a conservative. This is the type of people AWOLOWO fought all his life for their feudal culture. As usual, NIGERIA IS A JOKE! It is all the fault of stupid and empty Nigerian people who back these low-life scoundrels

opribo:
All non indigene of Lagos should be made to go back to his or her village to develop it. It is so sad to see a non indigene claiming parking right in Lagos when this place is no longer the seat of federal government.

Lagos must be for lagosians that is those whose origin is Lagos. If you were born in Lagos or you work in Lagos or you own a property in Lagos or you speak Yoruba language doesn't make you a lagosian. Only true born of Lagos whose parents are Lagosian or who married a lagosiahave right to claim rights here any other must be dealt with ruthlessly wherever they are found claiming rights in Lagos. Lagos must from now is not home to all. Everybody has a state let them go there if you build a company in Lagos, Lagosians muat have priority in job selection. If you don't like it carry your company to your state and employ your people. If witches and wizards are in your state go and kill them. Any now lagosian not paying taxes must be beheaded that is the only way people will go and develop their states.

Typical African ape. Just in case you didn't know, the president of America is called Barack Obama. His father only spent a few years in America. Lagos was built by Nigeria for Nigeria. I forsee an Abuja ape like you coming here to vomit trash some day in the future. Nigeria is a joke!

Ina country where EVERYBODY wants to be a millionaire from his job what do you expect. even messenger wants to be a millionaire.

GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU GOD BLESS YOU!!! Nigeria is a joke! Let them keep deceiving themselves. The problem with Nigeria is right there in the nearest mirror. If we do not re-evaluate what we celebrate, this country will still grow worse

plaetton:
That's why I say that corruption is an infrastructure that binds all facets of life in Nigeria. It is not a Jonathan , Abacha , APC or PDP thing.

We must approach the fight against corruption from that angle, not the selective vendetta that we are seeing at the moment.

This has been my crusade in Nigeria for the past 5 years and my view for the past 25 years. This is the position I take that has made me lose the goodwill of all the Nigerian big names I had access to via social media. They don't want to think; they don't want to be contradicted. So I gladly told them the truth and lost their favour. Nigerian problem is embedded in us as a people, not one "leader". The solution must come from us as a people through the kind of leadership of ordinary people I sought to bring, but killed by the elite. They're all self-serving liars. I see no hope as yet for Nigeria

chiddye:
this has been the culture of the military from time immemorial, no transparency and accountability since the days of babangida....all military formation and their chiefs are all guilty of this. it is the way they are structured since the era of impunity by babangida.

only people who don't know about the military would be shocked about this. those military chiefs don't account to nobody on the money allocated to them, since they are not integrated into the civil service pay scheme

it's high time we call for a proper structure of the military formations and integrate them into the civil service pay scheme for more accountability and transparency

Those over 40 should know this very well. BABANGIDA DESTROYED NIGERIA! All those children crying Obasanjo and Jonathan can be forgiven - that's where their memories take them to and they don't read since Whizkid and Davido and Aki and PawPaw are always available to occupy them

poseidon12:
What do you mean by home grown solutions? The main reason we are not able to get anything right, including power generation, is because we have a dysfunctional political structure. We are running a unitary system of government. If we don't fix the dysfunctional political structure, we will never get anything right. We will just be wasting our time.
No leader can transform Nigeria without political restructuring.

Strictly speaking on the power issue, it's not true. Unlike the State Police issue, the Federal Government has not prevented any state from generating and distributing power to its residents. The states just dont want to spend extra money to create their own distribution network. Even at that, the simple solar solution will change the face of Nigeria but the government refuses to consider that. People will generate their own power and upload to the grid and get paid. The govt still insists on 20th century models.
On your political issue, forget that: it is laziness. There is no political structuring that Nigeria has adopted that is unique to Nigeria. It's all copy-copy. Every single one og them works elsewhere but not in Nigeria. I concede that we would be better of with some adjustments, but the problem with Nigeria is the Nigerian mind and not anything external to it

IzonOwei:
I have told this yeye country to allow states and zones generate transmit and distribute their own power so that power issue can be resolved bit by bit.. What kind of foolish country is this... The most foolish i must say.. .... We keep running the same template and expecting different results... We hope that a so called minister can solve the diverse power problem in nigeria... What then will our governors be doing....

Sometimes I'm pushed to wonder if there's a conspiracy among people in power to force Nigeria to fail. I don't get it at all. Indeed power isn't rocket science. What you said is spot on and I've had a long post on this some days or weeks ago here. I deal in alternative energy solutions and I know what's possible. I'm dying of no patronage in a country dying to get what I offer. Is this some kind of joke?

Dharniel:
how then can corruption end in Nigeria, tis impossible. just imagine, ALL ex chief diverted such an amount monthly, haba. is there any clean public officer here in Nigeria?

Is there any clean private person in Nigeria? The few of us remaining are an endangered species; we are outcasts. This is what your society wants and so I wonder why you people complain. Abi because no be the complainant dey the position?

tuale4u:
bros it is everywhere. In d Universities and Teaching Hospitals d VCs and CMDs are doing d samething.

When I told them corruption is not a politician's exclusive forte, they won't let me talk. Corruption is Nigerian tradition. You're talking universities sef. ANYWHERE there's a Nigerian in position, he's thinking of how to use that position to corruptly and massively enrich himself. These people are the reason everything is so expensive in Nigeria because they go to the same market as us and they are very many o: in private companies self, including multinationals where I worked, wherever there's a Nigerian, there is a corrupt scheming going on.

Flets:
Anybody who thinks Buhari can fight IPOB, Tompolo, Nigerdelta, call the bluff of the south and expect the gas pipelines to stay intact needs to check his head.

No nation disunited in purpose ever makes progress.

Every married man should kukuma submit his wife to the Niger Delta lords for pipelines to stay intact. Black man is an ape

TonyeBarcanista:
By 2019 we shall show him the exit

Because Jonathan allowed a free and fair election and let himself be defeated, you now think that's the normal thing in Nigeria abi? We await 2019

majekdom2:
your opinion anyways. I guess you only seeing it this way because of the current state of our educational system. In other countries, you need to pass through some institutions to be regarded as " educated " Not necessarily the university. I bet you do not know the importance/advantage of passing through educational institutions. You can read the bible, roll with Christians..... but why is it still advisable you go to church.... sorry, I don't know if you are Christian. The point is, these institutions are there for a reason and their existence can't be neglected. Have you bothered to ask yourself why the great companies have research centres in educational institutions? Look beyond the standard in Nigeria. We are where we are today because we neglected the importance. Do you know how much china is investing in its educational institutions today?

My friend, Thomas Edison had over 1,000 patents i.e over 1,000 inventions officially recognised. His lab was not a university. He never attended university, let alone coming first or last there. Let me tell you something, if the internet were invented before classrooms, there would be no campuses today that you people call school or universities. Human beings aren't smart; they lack the ability to be constantly aware of the reason for an action but quickly follow the pattern as the rule. When the reasons change, we still follow the pattern, not knowing that pattern no longer applies. Education is not getting a certificate from a brick-and-mortar institution. Education is the acquisition of intellectual skills and knowledge. If you go to that campus and get the paper but don't have skills or knowledge (that's the case in Nigeria), you're worse of because even though still empty, you would now be constituting a nuisance to everyone that you are educated. If full and equal access to the facilities of education were available to everyone in Nigeria, then no problem - let's all go there. Not when there isn't and only the privileged ones get to go to schools properly and you then decree that everyone must be measured according to how well they did in the tests at school. Does that sound fair? Why not assess them based on the desired skill set you need for a job role? Abraham Lincoln died in 1865. Till today Americans consider him their greatest president. There were all these Harvards in his time, comparable to what we have in Nigeria today. He was from a poor home - he didn't go to any. He was a lawyer. How? He studied privately for the tests required to be passed to be a lawyer. Full stop. There was no internet then for easy access to all the information in the world. All his classroom education was a total of ONE YEAR! In his day people could have PhDs from Harvard too. Unlike in Nigeria, they didn't block his life because he didn't go to their list of "recognised places" to prove he was bright. He proved it in the real world against all comers. We don't get it in Nigeria, I keep saying. You will see: this 5.0 GPA guy will never achieve anything for this country. He can't. He would even likely go abroad for " further studies" (wetin una ape country dey study sef) and quietly get a nice job there and quietly enjoy the rest of his days on earth. Or he may become one of the people drafted by our moneybags to enter and continue the bastardisation of the country in the political culture they would teach him. What did he study? He cannot have any direct impact on the country. The political field he has no idea and would only follow the pattern they tell him is "the way". Lastly, I have NO IDEA what secondary school in Nigeria would advise their best students to go and study Psychology at university. Shikena!

First, I wish to congratulate Mr Ayodele Dada for his academic milestone of which many have tried and many have fallen so he should keep his head held high even though he is not to first and certainly won't be the last.

I stumbled upon a writeup few days ago on how the writer says that Mr Dada deserves a national honour/award and his reason was obvious; The 5.0gpa.

And I became so confused because I thought the honour was given to those who have rendered service(s) to the benefit of the nation and after a research, I concluded that the writer alongside many others are ignorant of what the National Honour truly stands for............

Nigerian National Honours are a set of orders and decorations conferred upon Nigerians and friends of Nigeria every year. They were instituted by the National Honors Act No. 5 of 1964, during the First Nigerian Republic , to honour Nigerians who have rendered service to the benefit of the nation. The Nigerian National Honours, in descending order of importance, are:
*Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal
Republic (GCFR)
*Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger
(GCON)
*Commander of the Order of the Federal
Republic (CFR)
*Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON)
*Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic
(OFR)
*Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON)
*Member of the Order of the Federal Republic
(MFR)
*Member of the Order of the Niger (MON)

The GCFR and GCON are customarily respectively bestowed on former occupants of the office of President of Nigeria and Vice President of Nigeria including former military heads of state of Nigeria and Chiefs of General Staff. The GCON is also customarily bestowed on the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the President of the Nigerian Senate during their first year in office, while the CON is customarily bestowed on Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria (culled from Wikipedia)

Now, what does Mr Dada deserve?
Still the national honour or an applaud from the education lovers
His achievement is a benefit to himself and not the nation.
What did he do for his final year project?
Does it contribute to nation building?
Did he invent any mathematical theory?

There are many 2nd class, 3rd and many that didn't even attempt jamb but are contributing towards building the nation through the creation of job opportunities.

He should go out and prove himself and not become a burden on the nation just because of a degree that is not recognised in developed countries.

He has tried and I commend him but after school, life begins......... I wish him success
Bello Wahab O.

I'm happy that this guy's issue has come up in Nigerian discussion. It gives me the final evidence that I am right and that Nigeria does not understand what national progress means and the role of education in national development. I've spent the last few years trying to bring awareness to the fact that we get things wrong here but they've all ignored me thinking I must be crazy to be diametrically opposed to their path of "progress". Nigeria will never go anywhere because someone scored all the marks in exams. That person only remembered what he was taught of what some other people discovered and thought and proved. Everybody is now going to university to collect a degree and get a high-paying job. There's no co-ordinated national effort to harness our best minds towards improving our lot as a nation. Some of the greatest minds that made the world what it is today either did poorly in school or didn't even attend university at all. The greatest inventor of all time who gave us the light bulb (Edison) didn't go through much schooling, certainly not university. Many people have been scoring 4.0/4.0 in American universities and none ever became the president or even had any breakthrough discovery in their names. Today in Nigeria, if you don't embellish your CV with "university of this and that" with 2/1 minimum, they declare you dumb and will never give you that chance to compete with others in anything at all, including sharing an opinion on the thing you know better than all of them. We're shooting ourselves in the foot in this country, and I can't fully describe the contents of my mind on Nairaland - it's too much. I know this issue very well and my advocacy has been about re-defining education in this country as a means to solve all our problems. Sadly, people like Ezekwesili who are examples of what I'm saying, having little knowledge apart from Harvard economics degrees, would not sit down and listen. These people we look up to don't know nothing. They spent all their time trying to get that high degree from foreign universities and have had little time, or ability, to reflect and think things that can't be found in university syllabuses. I'm tired!

This OP is ignorant

afemaiboy:
I don't feel sorry for the jailed woman because she would do same if she had authority. Women are generally ruthless when you give them power. Feel free to quote me.

I quote you to agree unreservedly. Free women from the bondage they suffer in traditional settings. BUT keep women away from authority except the infinitesimally few who are up to it. Women are the most cruel creatures imaginable in this part of the world. They are vain, petty and are in the habit of using the maximum capacity of cruelty at their disposal to revenge any act that hurts them - and you know the list is very very long indeed

Paula124:
Who then shall we believe

Believe my car video recorder. I'm sure if they asked the woman to spend 15,000 to be let off the hook she go pay quick quick. But when I say pay less than 15k to install eyes and ears in your car for this eventuality, she no go gree. With real evidence, no power in the world can molest you. Okay, I remain poor - let her enjoy Kirikiri

The Nigerian cancer has now reached Queens College in its journey to devouring all of Nigeria. School girls carrying placards? Lol!

MoyoGENERAL:
hmmm, at this Age, using monetary incentives before parents release their female children for schooling!!!!!! Tell me, how will they value Education when they aren't paying for it? What about when the incentives aren't forthcoming, those Parents can possibly withdraw their kids from school!!!!!Thinking they are depriving the govt some benefits!!!! haaaaaaaaaaaa.....
O Civilization, why didst thou embrace our brothers in the North Earlier!
O Civilization, thou doest not well!
No, thou doest not well!!!

Lol. It is Islam that destroyed the North, not Boko Haram as someone above me said. Islam was a fully-developed religion in the North before the British came and in order to have an easier time ruling them, the British instead encouraged them to continue in their ways and even compromised with them in not bringing the light of education to them in normal ways. That was sad because the British conquered them militarily and could have enforced any system they wanted. Alas they had no reason to stress themselves too much as Nigeria was just one of the large network of colonies they were administering("the sun never sets on the British Empire" with only so many administrators and actual soldiers to go round. Nigerian history reads like a Shakespearean tragedy

As usual: NIGERIA IS A JOKE! If we refuse to come together to have a national conversation about our values and our standard practices, Nigeria will further collapse into the abyss. We are a joke - I swear! The happiest mind is the ignorant mind; in much wisdom there is much grief. I wish I was also a dumb "follow follow" like all other Nigerians; life here would have been bearable, even happy. The problem with Nigeria is the Nigerian people themselves: their values, their belief system, their attitudes - all geared towards sending them to the abyss and they're well on their way. Our problem has nothing to do with any government; we are the government

Lovetinz:
He takes his external drive containing backups around with him?
That's not too professional.

Privilege, my dear friend - privilege. Many of these people are what they are, not because they have some magical knowhow but because they came from the right places, knew the right people and in the case of photography especially, had the resources to buy the right equipment. What on earth would you be doing with your external hard drive which is supposed to be a backup? I'm really hurt and sorry for the future of this country if all access is blocked except you're connected - no merit

My friends, forget: these politicians don't just wake up to do things which will put them in trouble. They do things according to what people value and support. It is always about the people. In Nigeria, "development" is defined by which road and airport you build - in fact, which physical objects you build. The mind of the ape is unable to appreciate things not physical that would ultimately generate physical tangible evidence of real societal progress. Nigeria can never truly develop because in order to develop, someone must spend resources to plant seeds, others to water the seeds and long time later for one to celebrate the grown tree. Everybody wants to be the one that did it (in 4-year cycles) and it's not gonna happen. We will just be going round in circles until the oil finally dries up. THEN we will murder one-another to find meat to eat to remain alive. NIGERIA IS A JOKE!

When you read comments here, you quickly see why THE PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE THEMSELVES. Everything is in order. We are responsible for the politicians that rule us

Useless bastards! How much is that? 1billion dollars to stimulate the entire Nigerian economy from the great depression we're in. When someone will be given $2.1b just to share among a few people for political reasons and NNPC will vanish $20b in their coffers. They want to empower youth with loans to start businesses, they budget 10 billion naira for over how many million youth? These people really do think the rest of the 170 million Nigerians are the same human beings as them o. NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE! NIGERIA IS A JOKE!

smileysmiley:
I don't know why some girls do it but I find so much fun in testing all those clothes, like I'm a Barbie doll or something. I actually wake up in the morning and go to shoprite just to do that and I make sure my face is clear of make up so I'm not restricted on the color of clothes to test. I actually do it on one of my jobless Saturdays. The sweetest part is the look on the attendant's face when I hand all the clothes back to her, it's like "are you for real? You found nothing suitable out of all these? I'll shoot you if I had a gun" it's a miracle if some of those attendants don't recognize me sef

Clearly the standard of conduct of the civilised world, as evidenced in Mr Price etc isn't suited for low life Nigerian apes. People are not on the same level in this world, I keep saying. We in this country belong to some of the lowest human standards (and there are statistics to prove), more suited to the Aba system that one poster above me described. Oh God!
