Really, this is stupidity of the highest order as the Cow can cause an accident if it becomes unstable as it's x4 of the recommended weight of the car.

The same attitude that led Nigeria to where she is. The more reason why we need to restructure our mentality first or simultaneously with any agreed political structure.

Ugosample:
The rescue mission had nothing to do with race.
Stop thinking like an African monkey

See the fund raising for these victims, is it only whites raising money? or is it only the whites that will benefit from it?

Do you know that you as an African, you have just disgraced and reduced yourself to nothing by insulting an African Monkey

What a mentaility

ThisTrend:
South Africa’s Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has criticised African leaders for seeking medical treatment abroad.

Speaking in Zimbabwe at a World Health Organization (WHO) meeting of African health ministers, Mr Motsoaledi said Africa must be the only continent where the leaders travel abroad for health reasons.

He was addressing the conference hours after President Robert Mugabe, who himself makes regular trips to Singapore for eye treatment, opened the meeting. Mugabe had left the event by the time Mr Motsoaledi spoke.

Newsday newspaper quoted South Africa's health minister as saying: "I have said this before and I will say it again: we are the only continent that has its leaders seeking medical services outside the continent, outside our territory. We must be ashamed of that. This is called health tourism. We must promote our own."

In the past year five African heads of state have gone overseas for medical reasons, they are:

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe
Benin's President Patrice Talon
Angola's President Jose Eduardo dos Santos
Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika

bros op,
if you are actually trying to compare Jonathan and buhari in terms of any type of freedom enjoyed the citizens under their government, buhari did not come anywhere near Jonathan. if what you are trying to do is divert attention from buhari and what he stands for, you have failed too, and if you are still at the blame game, that will be too unfortunate

Lay your facts. And please remember not to mention those arrested for stealing because they did it either way of party faithful or not. Give facts.
Nonetheless, do not mention Dollar too except you can tell us how much of FX you're idea has brought in.

Until we go back to what Britain gave us subtracting the useless thought that they gave Northerners military might, because the Southerners are quite intelligence and contemporary positioned. The geopolitical structure they left us with is best for us as we will have Nations in a country just has they have Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland and the Isles.
A wrong perspective destroys a good course.
But above all Nigerian citizens have deteriorated in morals other than our political structure. Until we learn to do things in fairness without expecting monetary gratification, then will we start to build better place to be.

The management of the University of Ibadan (UI) has condemned and rejected the new Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) cut off marks for universities admission for 2017/2018 academic calendar.

A statement released by the university management, reads: “The Management of the University of Ibadan wishes to inform the public about the recently announced cut off marks of 120 for University Admission that UI will not lower her standards.

The Nigeria’s premier university still maintains her position in academic excellence and standards in order to continue to aspire towards becoming a world-class university.

It should worry us as patriots that candidates who scored just 30% in UTME can be admitted into some of our universities. Yet, we complain of poor quality of our graduates. You can hardly build something on nothing.

The consolation here is that since JAMB started conducting this qualifying exam in 1978, UI has never admitted any candidate who scored less than 200 marks out of the maximum 400 marks.

This remains our position as an institution aspiring to be world-class. Reality is that only about four other universities in the country have such high standard.

In fairness to the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, he repeatedly stressed at the Combined Policy Meeting held Tuesday, 22 August, 2017 that the Senate of each university still has wide powers for admission in the spirit of autonomy.

It is also gratifying to note that the Honourable Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, who chaired the meeting, apologised publicly for canceling Post UTME Screening last year.

To be fair to the incumbent Registrar of JAMB, he was not the Registrar when the policy somersault of cancelling POST UTME test was made last year. Prof Oloyede’s appointment was effective 1 August 2016, while the Policy Meeting for that year had held some two months earlier.”

Okay agreed. But Is UI herself and their selfs developing to offer world class education or they are just testing intellectuals by chunking in textbooks and testing the students if they grab its entirety.

So sad, the air worthiness of our jets comes into some serious questions. No fewer than 5 air incidents this year alone , when we arent in an all out war, Yet we seek for more jets. Such irony.

for the NAF, it could be a sabotage. They do it a lot because of positions.

You'll have automatic employment after grating, I think. Rubbish

What about those paying about 7 million abroad per year for just tuition.

mrvitalis:
Honestly that's not over quoted if the right material are used ...that's the presidential villa for crying out loud do you know how big it is ?

You think it's just a building ?

America use billionsof dollars to air condition their base in Afghanistan

But I don't think it's necessary for now but to say it's over blown is pure ignorance

Please go and sit down. Are they installing a new AC? I beg. It's obvious you are one of them. We are talking of billion here. They never said the cooling external unit. Worst scenario, maybe its the evaporator. What else could rat have destroyed so much that requires that. Please stop supporting grand theft.

mrvitalis:
Can you google what the meaning of budget?

It's no more than a plan based on projected income ...what if the income projected is not achieved ?

What do you think they mean by budget performance ??

Are you one of them? Because you are really deviating from the subject. In this case of rat infestation, what income are we looking at. The budget we are looking at as nothing to do with expected income. Tell me if a car battery cost 25,000, will you budget 100,000. We are talking about cleaning here and possible repair of AC. All they need is to call in the concerned specialists to give them a quotation and have it fixed not not quote some crazy figures that seemingly encourages theft.

Mind you. Language is arbitrary. Budget can be based on income towards attending to more than one item. and at the same time budget can also be based on a market price of an item while considering high and low.

So tell me, what the heck of environmental services will they use 4.9 billion Naira for. Are they planning on removing the entire rats in Abuja or what.

mrvitalis:
Your point ?

A good budget is based on real assessments bearing inflation in mind and not bloated figures that gives room for embezzlement

mrvitalis:
Budget doesn't mean the money was actually spent hope we all now that

But when Budget is astronomically high for a given purpose, it gives room to think otherwise which could be a preparation for the act as his gives them the opportunity to quote more than what is actually required.

smartty68:
Nice, innovative, impressive

Innoson Ventures Motors what do you have to say about this?
Ans: Yeah you know, infact since we're not getting support from the government, its difficult for us to think and build something different from other car models that's why we do copy-copy and copy other cars designs like Toyota. And secondly, since we have poor road networks/maps and bads roads upandan these Artificial Intelligence (AI) will malfunction or infact e go spoil which may results in fatal accidents on the roads. Thank you...

Me: No further questions IVM, drops mic

So it is the government that gave Toyota and their likes funds to roll out new technologies. You want funds without having the idea and effort.

The first reported case of the deadly virus came in 1976 and it is named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo which was where it was discovered.

[b]U see my broda d white man has lied to d whole world and degraded d black race not me. If ebola & hiv originated in africa why dint it wipe out our fore-father[/b]s? U see wat am sayin bruv

Then you are quite gullible. When a race wants to believe that deadly disease can only come from they. They reported it in the media and you believe everything. Even if you cannot make efforts to prove them wrong, yet you swallowed it. Do you know the rate of scientific researchers that went wrong? Are you are that a virus can be innovated?

Well, it's okay if you say your own fore fathers.

And you are antagonizing yourself.

Black africa is under-developed because of d white man. D whiteman taught sme black ple deir evil & corrupt ways and thus dose. Black pple hav held africa down 4 years.

There is a saying that no one can make you look like a fool except you permit. When will we stop blaming others for our woes? Is it a foreigner that signs cheques for the government? Please, there is a difference when one does not have a capacity and been dull. Blacks are not dull but we are yet to develop our capacity. How can you say all those diseases came from Africa? Please stop spreading degrading lies and beliefs.

EKITI001:
Are they OK?

I tire o. They are looking for easy money. Rather than for them to hold the government to ransom towards reducing the cost of operation, they are begging the government to make life miserable for their generations(Not us)yet unborn. You see that not just the politicians are criminals.

munas:
Why are you shifting the goal post?

As first you talked about not buying Innoson cars because of safety issues....now you are runing to "having a foreigner who puts conclusion to the manufacturing process"

Fosil fuel car manufcturing done by innoson is not rocket science once you got the training,equitment and technology transfer.
There no foreigner anywhere putting finishing touches.

If the railways did not die and governemnt providing enough funding to it,we could have advanced our knowledge in that area.
Those day,the railways own foundires where they fabricate train/rail parts for the railway system.

Finally,without developing our iron and steel,we will go no where in rail technology,

You are yet coming back to what I said. The government is a reflection of the people. Have you seen a thief entrusting a thief with his/her assets? Remember that Railways did not die on its own, it died because we lack the mental capacity to be sincere and progressive. I must also say, that no funding can ever be enough, we just have to start with something, but have we even started with what we have.

Have you seen our universities which are meant to be the base of our research and development going on strike for the sake of research funding other than their allowances and welfare? How many private Nigerian engineering firms(especially those that have benefitted from the government) have you seen partnering with our universities to innovate a ground-breaking technology.?

You know our problem in this part of the world. We want the best always but not willing to give the best. We believe we are the best but we are not giving the best to prove it but we want to be gratified.

munas:
So the govt officials patronising innoson vehicles are not considering safety right?
People just talk because the platform is pen for them to talk.

Have you asked which engineers maintained the rail tracks and train engines for years before the govt allowed the rail sector to die?
For all the years i have been selling at the train station as a kid or entering trains,i have never seen a white/chine or indian man in our railways.
I grew up in a railway town

My guy, go to innosson, I bet you that there is a foreigner there putting conclusions to what they are doing. But you yourself what I asked. Do you own an innosson vehicle or have you considered buying one?

Stop living in self-denial. Those maintaining does rails then, are they carrying out progressive maintenance, or do they in anyway have documentaries of new technologies of how to better the construction. You said they are maintaining engines, engines that in the process of their repairs, they have traded off all safety measures. We see these things every day.

.. modern development and civic civilization is not a black culture and not part of blacks. until blacks admit this and tell themselves the truth. black all over the world lack everything it takes to build a develop nation. it's not part of them. a nation is not rich by mare natural resources but artificial resources and intelligence.


Black's can't developed their country not because they don't like to but because they don't have what it takes in their brain. its just God that made it so. the white shouldn't have bothered themselves with black people. they should have been left alone in the dark. i don't hate blacks but i love you guys not to tell you the Truth. you guys should have been left alone with your culture and heritage not forcing colonialism on your throat which your forefathers rejected but were defeated.

You are wrong. everyone has a known potential but your attitude determines what you can achieve. Blacks are intelligent even more than many other whites, brown or whatever colour they have attributed to themselves. I have been with several other colours who cannot match me one on one when it comes to innovative thinking ut as I have said it is more of a societal issue than mental capacity.

iukpe:
Amaechi is totally wrong here. Speaking as an engineer, what is in a railway system?
What is in building a track worthy train?
I do not see any giant task in that such that a minister will think Nigerian engineers cannot handle it.
Nigerian engineers and technologists are very capable of building our power stations, trains and railways, waste incinerators, buses and boats etc, all from scratch.

This is a big excuse to spend some forex just for nothing.

This is why engineers should be transport, energy, petroleum, aviation ministers etc.
Just like you cannot believe heart transplant is possible when you're not a surgeon or medical expert.

Show me a prototype video of what Nigerians have claimed they can do. Do you think all these things are just to believe that they can do it? Let them market themselves. Sell technologies to us, safety measures etc. Do you think USA government just believe in their engineer without close to reality prototypes and strong research committment? Do you know how many years it took engineers to build Airbus plane?

I for one will not shy away from the truth. Our engineers need to do more to convince the government. Nobody wants to die anyhow or be responsible for a mass death. Do you own an Innosson vehicle? I'm sure you are considering safety measures until proving otherwise.
Please be sincere with yourself.

Pls wat is so difficult in railway? Was it not blacks dat wer used 2 construct rail lines in America & Europe for 400 years? Pls enuff of dat black pple ain't intelligent bullshiit.

Be sincere with yourself. Blacks residing in this part of the world under African governments have traded ingenuity for belly consumption. I bet you that you only see it as putting together of some irons. Blacks are in a rush with everything, they want to actualize "Z" without passing through "J".
We need to accept our shortcomings before we start making things right other than just believing that we are there. It is not by mouth as the word is cheap.

I was talking to an engineer sometimes ago and he said that there are many unnecessary components in a white's man construction that they are just to safety conscious and that beats my imagination as to what the heck are you innovating or constructing without adequate safety measures. Can you see why Amaechi may be vindicated? Please, I agree that we are blessed but it is not to believe but rather to get committed to real development.

Please is it enough for a child to believe that he/she is brilliant without attending classes and developing himself or herself?

The only nation where the leaders dont believe in their country.
So saddening and absurd.
cc Seun , lalasticlala, mynd44

Because we have lazy leaders that believe in ready made other than self-development. But the truth be told he is not wrong. Go to any engineering department in our universities and ask the professors to give a building project to his/her students, I bet you they will never o that because they do not trust their students as well. Do our universities engage in practical developments and research? How many of our problems as our engineers postulated how to solve them. We have been having flash floods, have any of our universities conduct a research on how to manage it.

It's quite disheartening. What technology has been rolled out of our universities? Has any of our Nigerian engineering companies rolled out prototypes of inventions or what they can do? They are all after government contract(money) other than ingenuity.

It is quite unfortunate

Copied. What's your opinion?

The first Nigerian Lawyer (Sapara Williams- Yoruba) , first Civil Engineer (Herbert Macaulay- Yoruba), first Medical Doctor in Nigeria ( Nathaniel King- Yoruba) , first female (SAN Folake Solanke- Yoruba), Africa's first Professor of Criminology ( Femi Odekunle- Yoruba) Africa's first female Chartered Accountant (Toyin Olakunri- Yoruba), first Bishop(Samuel Ajayi Crowther- Yoruba) even Nigeria's undisputed millionaire (Candida Da Rocha- Yoruba, first CJN Sir Adetokunbo Ademola- Yoruba. One vagabond called Nnamdi Kanu now said Yoruba's are fools, he said anybody attending Yoruba pastored churches is a fool, funny enough we have some guys bearing Yoruba names and supporting Kanu's foolish statement on Yoruba's, simply because they hates APC government.

Well, not everybody with eyes can see, most people walk with their eyes, that's where FFK and Fayose belonged. How FFK's father died is still fresh(was he buried in Ife? Never). If anybody can wake up one day and insult a race as great as Yoruba and we've some elements backing him for political reasons, then the bastard child just woke up. You can't abuse my father and expect me to respect you. APC is a political party and not a race, Yoruba is not a political party, therefore the difference is clear. Nigeria is a zoo in Kanu's view, meaning his parents are animals within if I've to reply him.

No matter who you are you can't insult my race, I will hate you with passion and those supporting you will be in my black book. Isola o go, oju la n ti fun'ra wa, Kanu should go back to his parents for tutorial, ago lo fe ko eyele po mo adie, asa ki i s'egbe eyek'eye.
