Valid observation but Tolu says the drafts that's been shared online is the old version so we have to wait for the signed document by the President

Some of the requirements needs to change and the loan repayment should only start when someone starts earning income.

I like the fact that the loan will be paid to the school account though, it eliminates students using the money for something else.
If that’s the case, then that’s fine. They should be realistic about the family income bracket that makes a student qualify for the loan.

Again.
I have no problem with the student loans for the stupid ones that can't see beyond apc vs LP.
The issue I have is what happens after the 2yrs.
Going by our population we have at least 100m people as youths and we barely have jobs available.
That the FG/SG have been handling the running of schools doesn't mean we get subsidised education. They run it badly enough from the curriculum, to the living conditions to the strikes. There's nothing subsidised in any of this.

I can see everyone saying it's geared towards autonomy which as usual would lead to even further school fees. Not a problem but again given our economic reality, you are still asking the common man to bear the brunt of things for a country that's not remotely giving back to its citizens.
As usual revenue generation but at what cost to the people?
One truth u need to tell urself is that public education is highly subsidized in Nigeria. I attended a public secondary school for 6 years for free and also attended a public university where we paid few thousands of naira. In fact my 100l-400l school fees is not up to N150k when summed up.

Today I work in the same organization with colleagues who paid millions in fees in Babcock, Bowen, Covenant universities etc.

Apart from the living conditions in the private institutions being superb and a more conducive learning environment, I can confidently say there's little or no difference in the knowledge that was imparted in me by my professors and that of those who attended private varsities. At least we can both function on our jobs based on the knowledge imparted into us by our respective institutions.

I will be lying to myself if I tell people I didn't get subsidized education .

I think the student loan is a good way to go; the government should just perfect the loan repayment process and make sure people don't find a way to game the system. We all know school fees will be increased but the good side is that the school fees payment is deferred to 2 years after graduation.

The student loan move is an applaudable move from the Tinubu’s administration , it’s just that I have a few reservations about its workability and it serving the purpose it was designed for .

I heard it was Gbajabiamala that sponsored the bill. Personally I believe Gbaja is in discordant tunes with the current economic realities . For example , that 500k per annum family income cieling set by the bill is not good enough . 500k per annum when divided by 12 is less than 42k per month . If u say earning 42k or lesser per month as a family is what qualifies a family member for the loan, what happens to a family of 5 that earns 85k per month , pays house rent , utility bills and have next to nothing to save at the end of the month ? Cant their son or daughter benefit from the loan too ?

I think our elected officials need to know about Time Value of money so they can put it into cognisance when sponsoring bills .

Also I would like for government to provide grace for people who don’t get jobs within 2 years of graduation about how to pay back their loans when they eventually get jobs or go into self employment . We all know getting jobs as a fresh graduate nowadays is very tedious . I remember a friend in school who was on 2.1 but a lecturer he had issue with scored him E in a course he should have scored at least B grade . He finshed with 2.2 and it cost him 3 good years before he got a graduate trainee role cos of the grade requirements . So people like that who have loans to pay back to the system can take time to hustle without having their names called out like Palmpay does their debtors .

If all these issues are addressed ……I’m all in for the student loan bill . Make government just make sure people pay back the loan before they japa . Nobody should have a student loan outstanding in Nigeria and have their visas abroad approved.

Your generation didn't meet riots that's why some youths romanticize it

I witnessed it and lived part of it. Some of my schoolmates were killed by soldiers rioting

In 1998 the day MKO died was the day Holland played Brazil France 98 we went to riot. First day we did riot and went back, 2nd day i don taya i slept in the room cos I no fit wakeup early. Those that went got shot by Soldiers killing many. Some even died in the bush and no one saw their bodies. Some got gunshots on their thighs arms belly. One of them was Dennis Chukwusa a year 1 student,

That was 25yrs ago. Most of their friends would have moved on, but the hurt in the heart of their family who should be enjoying the goodies of their son now can never be replaced

As a result of June 12 struggle OBJ Jonathan Tinubu YarAdua became presidents and billionaires settled their family. Thousands became senators and governors and became rich

Abeg who remembered the Chukwusa family today whose son like thousand others died all over Nigeria

The only memory was naming a TV room in OAU after him. Many students there today wont even know about him. I don't even know if the name of the room hasn't been changed

There will be one coward student who slept that day and is now a politician who is rich if he carry money enter Ife today everyone go hail am and even clean Chukwusa name to his own

In everything try to stay alive. Death is cheap don't use hot head go collect death wey no be your portion
I really don’t know why people like Don J don’t get this simple fact . Even though some of us were young these periods , we had egbon adugbo’s who died in those riots . Some of them, their surviving friends are now MD of companies , senior managers and successful business men . While those that died in the struggle left their friends and families in misery

In 2002/3 a friend who wanted to japa told me people were procuring SA passports. You dropped money and you got a passport. This made it easier to get a UK or us visa. I advised him against it. A few months later I read that some Nigerians had been arrested in a sting operation and labeled as terrorists. It turned out that Al aqaeda operatives had also been procuring SA passports using the same process. So everyone caught was simply assumed to be an al quaeda operative

I suspect the same applies to our emeifele. A lot of money laundering processes are also used by terrorist and criminal networks. So if you use these and get caught you are summarily tarred with the terrorist tag. It is not as if at this point you can say well actually I was only stealing money for myself not to aid a terrorist group

Just a theory.
I am not saying ur theory is right as regards Emefiele but u made A very good point about people being tagged summarily for some issues they sometimes don’t know about .

That’s why even in business cycle u are advised to get KYC on ur customers and do due diligence in case such customer name pops up in anti-terrorism/money laundering investigation . If u are unable to prove u had a legal dealing with that person and it was observed u had a financial dealing with the person, u are automatically a person of interest too.

The man Emefiele don too do round tripping and it will be a miracle if he has not approved funds that got into the wrong hands .

Mind you, what I'm pointing out is political profiling, not tribalism, please.
And political profiling is indeed a thing. In every democracy, certain demographys have similar patterns to voting due to various reasons.

For instance, in America, 90 Percent of black people in America vote democratic just like 90 percent of white envagelicals vote Republican.

So statistically speaking, just by seeing any black skinned person in America, you are seeing a democratic or potential democratic voter. Same as when you see a white Pentecostal person, you are looking at one more likely to vote Republican.
It's political profiling and it's not a bad thing actually. It's just highlighting a voting pattern.
Is it also part of highlighting voting patterns when u say : Edo Muslims are the most liberal muslims in the country and that they are sometimes irreligious ? How many Edo Muslims have u met to draw that conclusion ?

You see why I say u are making hasty and incorrect generalization ?

The funny thing in all of these is that Tinubu is one of the most liberal Muslims in Nigeria and he’s “Yoruba Mulim”

Na true na. Edo Muslims no dey even do like Muslims at all. At least by the standard of radicalism we usually see from Muslims. cheesy cheesy
Abeg stop all these profiling and subtle tribalism na.

What do u mean by Edo Muslims don’t do like Muslims at all ? How are Muslims supposed to behave that Edo Muslims aren’t ? How many Muslims do u even know in real life sef ?

Yoruba Muslims are not the problem of Nigeria if that’s what u are trying to allude . I know tens of “Yoruba Christians” who voted for Tinubu this past election, and I also have “Yoruba Muslim” friends who voted Labour Party .

People vote for their candidates based on different reasons and not necessarily because they are “Yoruba Muslims “. The irony of ur hasty and incorrect generalization is that if Yoruba Muslims are as radical as u are trying to claim, they wouldn’t have voted Tinubu who can’t recite Suratul Fathia correctly .

E heee. That explains it better.
It's extremely rare to encounter an obidient Yoruba Muslim because the cognitive bias would be extremely strong and most likely effect his judgement.

Alas, Edo\benin Muslims are the most liberal moslems in this country. They're almost largely irreligious sef.

Don't expect anything more than a media trial sha...Emefiele by his actions made himself public enemy number 1, Tinubu suspending him is excellent PR for his government, when the buzz dies down and his suspension has fully served its purpose, Emefiele will slide quietly into the backburner.
I hope not . I hope this will be the beginning of DSS making people take them serious once again.

If they are able to prove terrorism charges against Emefiele and he’s sentenced for it, perhaps people will start seeing DSS as a security agency actually invested in the business of investigating state crimes and not just a political witch-hunting dog.

National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, is suspended with immediate effect.
Personally I still don’t believe NNPC is now a private company like we’ve been hearing under Buhari's government . If it were to be a private company with investors as it’s owner, I doubt the president would’ve been able to suspend/sack him.

Anyways I’m very much delighted at the news . Perhaps this is the time for us to throw away the salad of corruption in NNPC as Tinubu stated in 2012. Make breath of fresh air enter that place called NNPC .They can’t be spending billions on turnaround and yet no refinery has worked .

I’m just interested in DSS proving the charges in court instead of their normal media trial under Buhari’s government . They held Sowore for so long but couldn’t prove most of the charges against him.

They have also been Nnamdi Kanu for a long time without proving the several charges against him.

I want to believe the new president must have/should have tasked them to make sure they don’t just arrest people by fiat , but also prove whatever case they have against individuals/groups/persons of interest

Make DSS play us the tape with evidence concerning the matter . What is the identity of the two Nigerians held hostage by Taliban that led to the release of those funds ? How did Emefiele get approval to move the funds ? etc
