Sometimes I wonder how the JAMB CBT exam would have been successful. JAMB themselves do not understand the technicality behind running a successful CBT exam likewise 70% of the candidates don't even know jack about a computer, so who is to be blamed.

Mr. Man, if you read the article well you will notice that they assured FG that it would be paid as soon as they have reconciled their account. My problem with this government is the fact that every assumption is given a sensational headline and placed on the pages of Newspapers.

Why didn't they listen to the side of the NNPC before accusing them of such bogus figures? I hope the actual money owed is paid into the Federation account as soon as possible, but I am sick and tired of reading news and believing it only to hear a different story the next day.

Silent words have never corrected anything in Nigeria so we can try lousiness, If the headline sensation will keep pushing them towards doing the right thing, then let it be. At times minus times minus is equals to plus. There could be a light at the end of the tunnel through a strategic disarray.

So repairs and maintenance of vandalized Pipeline and subsidy cost Nigeria 3.6 trillion. this is like 90% of 2014 budget.
What is NNPC saying

My broda I tire for this people o.

Where did APC media get the bogus figures from? All their cooked stories are always refuted by the accused

I do not know who you are but I'm sure you are a Nigerian who has been outrightly cheated by this idiots. The fact remains that there is still a huge amount of money which has not been returned. Be it that cost was or was not taken into consideration could even be NNPC's doing when the auditors came to audit. It's obvious that most of the cost they are now claiming have not been properly documented hence a right thinking auditor took exceptions to it in the best manner. We all know that NNPC is filled with cronies. Let us clean the system and not joining in the backlash of two parties that never existed in the first place as a political party but rather a pressure group.

The truth be told, Nigeria is a country where people deny a truth glaring them straight in the eye. So it's not about the accused denying APC stories but a country filled crooks at the helm of affairs.

Your Ban does not deserve to be lifted. Imagine you calling someone a big black bush pig.

Can God commence with these crop of women before descending upon the church? Please God

Buhari, I keep wondering why all these statements are not always made in Nigeria. Is it politics so taht when your people ask you, you would say you don't mean it, it's just for international purpose. Please I beg come and make these statements in Nigeria via dedicated national address

1 month salary or at most 10% of your annual income.

You can't earn 100k a month and be paying rent of 250-300k, you have effectively worked one-quarter of the year for your landlord. Cut your cloth according to your size and stop living above your means....What about school fees, capital projects, savings, feeding. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

It also depends on your environ. if you earn 100k/m in Abuja you must be living in the typical village to get a rent of 100k/y.

Urine:
This is the height of stupidity, Nigeria is a sovereign nation, if you feel aggrieved the next thing to do is to go to court. Are we puppies of foreign countries in our own country?

They are bunch of idiotic individuals.

If the real South Africa want to lay claims they should exit all whites from their country and let's see who stands at the African level. Africa has a genetic issue. Zimbabwe is a good example that was doing well when whites governed but shrinking when Mugabe took over. Among black to black forget South Africans has Nigerians are far more liberated than they are. How I wish we can exhume integrity and creativity here in Nigeria then we can proudly stand amongst leagues of Nations.

Fadekebisola:
most of your are daft...where in the story line did they say hausa relocated from mile 12 market....rather they said traders which also involves my yoruba ppl

and is not a gud development for those innocent yoruba traders.....for all yorubas hailing this,u all are fullish and deserve to reborn again...put ursef into the shoes of the yorubas suffering this.....daft tribesmen...no wonder ibo ppl call us coward..

Dumb ending

You obviously HATE this man called Oransonye

Its not about hate but the truth.

themall:
If it's you I will use my sodangi narrow on your blokos! but am talking about Oransonye. Do you know him?

If you can do that to me then what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I know Oransaye, a human being. Even a criminal can preach to you while doing evil behind. Forget things o. Ile ti mo ba ni yen.

Vado:
The people of Benue have been disappointing to say the least. You let a bunch of primitive elements dictate how and where you should move in your own land, rape your women, and plunder your wealth. Never knew they are this lily-livered. The governor would rather play down the severity of the issue too than act appropriately so as not to piss the Fulani leadership of the Nigerian state. Smh.

Is it only land and women they have in Benue? What of the Men and the children.

OlujobaSamuel:
lol, wen u no wan kpeme.
I think the question is for the guy I quoted sha and not for me.

Yes yes, Its not for you but the guy you quoted. I have redirected the question.

themall:
so all those who introduce good policies must be thieves and we should not highlight their good work.
when will Nigerians stop over killing themselves

You ehn. I mistakenly quoted OjulobaSamuel instead of you. So here is your question. If I work for you made 2 million and later embezzled 1.5 million, will you permit me to keep working for you?

OlujobaSamuel:
I responded to your statement.
your argument was not based on innocence or guilty, but on the fact that he is good on the job, which should be enough to erase whatever criminal offense he might have committed.
except your thought is different from what you have in that post of yours.

So if I work for you made 2 million and later embezzled 1.5 million, will you permit me to keep working for you.

SleekMallam:
Such an irony the same media Apc exploited with all manner of demonic propaganda is that which they seek to block!

A thief will not want another thief to infiltrate its domain hence APC trying to sensor the media

I learnt how to drive through observation though my Dad(RIP) gave me a hint on how to move a MT vehicle. But I must say that driving is not just about skill but requires been sober and the right attitude of safety.

Why is Adenuga, Otedola, Ubah permitting the monopoly, at least, they also have the credibility to raise credits and prevent monopoly. The should also learn to diversify

texazzpete:
You consider that an insult? LOL

Thank me for educating you today and move on

Don't be full of yourself. You only contributed your opinion and not educating anyone

I am an insurance policy holder with Mutual Benefit Assurance Limited, through one of their marketers. He disappeared after a while and when I saw another of their marketers, I explained to him and he went to their office in Asokoro Abuja to change it.

He collected the premium from me for a while and disappeared again. He told me he wasn't working there again. I went to their office after a long while and they gave me a form to fill for termination. I filled the form and submitted same on the 1st of December, 2015 and got a message of acknowledgment from them, with a phone number attachment.

I have tried to call the number, severally, but it was switched off. I copied a number from their jacket, but when I called it, the receiver told me that he has resigned from the company. As there is no official information from the company and they are sitting on my 80k, please advise me on how to retrieve my money. My policy number is ISP/13/136698/ABJ.

Attached are the pictures of my receipts and other documents to buttress my claim.

You caused it. Why giving cash to the marketers. When it comes to insurance go to their main hub while you shine your eyes. Insurance is not bad in Nigeria but the marketers and managers are, if giving them the chance.

texazzpete:
You're not serious.

Studying abroad is not solely about making Nigeria a 'research hub'. Improvements in technology pushes the nation forward. Not every damn thing is about 'making our own'. What 'our own' is a foreign trained medical doctor or specialist to make? Or a software developer? Or a HR specialist?

When people come back and start up successful companies that employ many Nigerians, how the heck is that not adding value back to the country? Is Smile or Hotels.ng not an employer of Nigerian labor?

Nobody cares if people came back to 'ensure their survival'. It's the end product that matters. And if those guys add value back to the country, that's what matters.



Hundreds of Nigerians come back to lecture. How the heck did you miss that? If you've gone through the University, are you really that oblivious to the fact that a lot of your lecturers were trained overseas, at least for their PhDs?



Nope. The Hotels.ng guy did the development himself. In fact, he pretty much chronicled his work on twitter while he was working away at it.



There are numerous Nigerians who have come back and have put in their two cents to move Nigeria forward technologically. There are areas that need a massive, sustained investment from the Government and from enlightened graduates to make a difference in. Nigerians are already working within private and international companies to deliver world class performances. But if you think China and India just harnessed a handful of returnees with zero support and poor power to work on hi-tech products, you're on a long thing.

Ironically, Buhari is trying to discourage this manpower investment by his indifference.





'Tough decisions' yet he fritters away our Forex on pilgrimage, gives it to business moguls who pay relatively meager tax and spends it on frivolous foreign trips that are of limited or no use whatsoever?

Look here, we are discussing and do not ever come insulting, okay. Why telling me I am not serious. If you will state your facts, state it without hurling insults.

texazzpete:
Please, be serious.

How are our lecturers who were largely trained in the 80s or 70s supposed to pass on modern trends and recent developments to the new generation?
There are a LOT of Nigerians who just go and come back to get the certificate, but there are plenty others who come back to add value. do you know how many new IT millionaires and employers of labor we have now in Nigeria, instituting new tech and new ways of doing things?

The guys behind Smile internet, you think their further studies were done in ABSU? Mark Essien founded hotels.ng, Nigeria's biggest hotels booking site with an annual turnover in hundreds of millions, if not billions. he learnt how to be a Software developer in Berlin. My friend is specializing in nuclear medicine in South Africa, and will return to be one of the foremost in that field in Nigeria. Another friend moved from Uniben to Oxford, returned to be a leading light in internal revenue generation, lectured part time in LBS and is now working with external investors and partners to build Nigeria's first cancer center.

And these are just a few examples.

Just because you only follow the lives of a few desperate fellows who just want to emigrate, It doesn't mean there aren't tons of Nigerians coming back to make a difference. How else will we get any modern knowledge in mechatronics, robotics, computer engineering, advanced farming techniques etc that aren't taught as well here?

I have been a Buhari supporter for a LONG time. But he GOOFED badly here, and betrays how out of touch he really is.

Guy there is difference between studying abroad and coming back to Nigeria to make millions while affecting few lives and studying abroad to come and affect many lives. You have also reduced the skills transfer to just making money. Our going out to study abroad is basically to make us a research hub. If the knowledge we have gathered so can not be geared into research that will bring us about making our own, then its useless. You mentioned Smile Internet which is basically a service which is not of our making. I see channels such as extreme engineering and its manny likes as regards innovations, we have many internationally trained engineers, did you see their impact. Everyone only came back to assure their survival. If you studied mechatronics abroad, why not go and lecture in the university and see how you can impact lives, get the government to invest in research or private sectors rather than looking out to become a millionaire. Until we start replicating all these things from the point of research and development everything is a mirage. A good example is China. They study abroad but see how they've been able to replicate things. When you pick India and China, Nigeria is next on foreign education and yet we are so wide apart from them in terms of earth breaking innovations.

Hotels.ng is similar to Booking .com in the UK. If you look behind it you will realise that there is a foreign technicality behind it. If will can not sit down and make it Nigerian then its bullshit. Its okay to start with the foreign support but not for long. But in Nigeria, the foreign support sticks.

Tough decisions are needed in tough times. He pegged FX while trying to see what can be done to salvage the economy futuristically. We have very few FX as a nation and if they keep servicing every FX demands then we will be left with no FX since the FX is no more flowing in unlike before. Have you seen anyone making it through enjoyment? You want everything to keep bubbling while we are moving towards death rather than for us to be sober while trying to birth life.

It will do the country no good if buhari is prosecuting the administration of his predecessor only when there are still more of Alex badeh.What about starting with lord luggard's regime down to this present administration? That will be fair enough.

There must be scape goats and if he so choose to apply the LIFO method so be it.

texazzpete:
this is utter rubbish.

While it can be seen as a luxury to send your kids overseas to school, we must never forget that it is a KEY mechanism for knowledge transfer, and remains one of the best ways to
1) TRansfer knowledge and modern trends in medicine, science and technology and other fields

2) Ensure the next generation of lecturers and academics have the most exposure to the latest developments

I much rather the Govt continues aiding students to get access to forex at official rates than keep lavishing our precious forex on dinosaurs like Dangote that pay barely any tax.

I am a study abroad agent but I must say the truth. We have not seen any significant effect on our environment since Nigerians have been studying abroad. The opportunity has been reduced to obtaining the certificate rather than skill transfer. Studying abroad is synonymous to travelling globally. Our leaders are well travelled but we can't see the significance of their exposure in our society. In as much as I am not happy with the development, I can not outrightly blame Buhari.
