Electricity bill and student loan bill have been in the works before Tinubu. He's not the first to sign a bill. Signing bills is not a primary function of a president. Moreover, they are not executive bills.
Functions of a president are security, economy, peace and unity. Those are what determines a performing president not signing bills or holding meetings.
Those bills he signed positively affect "security, economy, peace and unity".

If we have electricity we will see the thief and unknown gunmen coming. The thief and unknown gunmen might not even need to exist if they have electricity, because they'd either be in their houses watching Man U beat Anyanwu National or bbtacha's boobs or using it to do their business, and if I'm in school I will not even need to be a thief or an unknown gun person because I'd be too busy getting value for my student loan.

NYSC is a burden, but scrapping it would leave many rural schools without people like teachers, rural hospitals without doctors and nurses, and so forth.
I should not have to be paid peanuts because of rurals! I got loan to pay back for the skills I bought that they are paying me peanuts for!

It's because of this cheap NYSC labour that Nigeria wages are derisorily low. We are worth lots more than what they currently pay which is why Nigeria is rural to UK that is stealing our doctors and nurses and teachers by paying them more.

Rural schools will just have to hire skilled teachers and doctors and nurses and so forth at the appropriate rate instead of using unskilled and underpaid labour that they recycle every year! Just as you would not tell the brewer or baker or butcher to charge less in rurals, so too must you not expect me to sell my skills for less because of rurals.

I am very aware that my task of convincing you or anyone else that you are worth more and deserve a living wage is going to be an uphill struggle. This my aluta continuatas.

He might as well go walk naked in the street for all the special he might be feeling, because, unfortunately for him, this just discredits anything he says in the future, and all he's said in the past too. You just watch people link his future threads to this rubbish.

This is like Inter Milan claiming Man City did not beat them and win the UEFA Champions League, while Man City is jubilating in Manchester and planning to win next year. Dump did it too, claiming Biden did not beat him while Biden is preparing to beat him again. Sore losers, some people are, and it's rather very shamefully disobidient! And yes, I am an Obi supporter, hence the below, and it pains plenty me that Tinubu beat us.

As for those who would claim the beating is not fair and square, well, next time you too win unfairly and unsquarely if you can.

Good thing Nigeria has found a new outlet for its crude oil in Dangote's refinery, or we'd have ended up drowning in our unsold crude oil.

Politics › Re: Student Loans : Another Jewish Usury Corruption by budaatum:
I did not know Tinubu is a Jew. Thankfully, the loan is not compulsory, and you don't need to take it if you don't want to.

Below is a more intelligent and better considered view, for comparison.

CodeTemplar:
1. Vocational skills will be embraced more.
This is easy to understand as no one will be in a rush to take a long-term loan with no guaranty of repayment means when a surer and shorter way is dangling at their face. Simply learn a trade that sells and start making what will meet the needs of others.

2. Expect more rejection of some programs.
Before people apply to some programs more and get offered something else. Expect that to change as your school won't repay the loan for you and so you have to insist on what you believe in a your course of study.

3. Less socially conscious campus life.
As a result of the repayment ahead, expect student to put their time to better use than cultism and social engagements. More skill acquisition gatherings and centres will emerge on campus.

4. More Emphasis on international certifications.
There will be more emphasy on international certifications to support the certificate issued to graduates by schools because once the student start paying higher than what it cost to get certified by vendors and realize the reach of the intl certificates, they will embrace them naturally.

5. Less populated lecture halls and emphasis on buying of materials.
This one is easier to imagine. Overcrowded halls means someone isn't putting the huge fees of students to efficient use.

6. More time for research.
As lecturers mark fewer scripts and appraise fewer students, research will get more attention from schools as that's a sure way to improve school reputation and justify the huge loans and fees.

7. Higher conversion of academic papers into real life uses.
Why go through the stress of first degree, second degree and research before I realize I can take research papers, read them and apply them for better business result?

8. Better grades and breaking of first class jinx.
As students pay more and face the huge burden of repayment, expect them to question the wisdom behind trying to interpret failure as a sign of high standard and not success in form of high rate of knowledge transfer.
No professor of Agriculture feeds on yam diagram, they all prefer pounded yam to yam diagram though they make you draw it.

9. Less discrimination against private school graduates.
As everyone becomes conscious of the millions(of Naira) they have been enjoying for free and the sudden burden of repayment upon them, the discrimination against private school graduates will naturally disappear. The poorer the learning conditions of your school are, all other things equal, the more shame it means for you.

10. Emergence of smaller institutions offering fewer technical courses of study.
The idea of having a certificate will change drastically because what you hope to get from professors in some technical fields in polytechnics and universities will be available for less in sime institutes around.

You can add yours.
Education › Re: Education Loan Bill And Some Changes It Will Bring Us by budaatum: 11:49am On Jun 13, 2023
Basically, the loan will make students more responsible? I must agree, since most wouldn't take loans for what they see no benefit in.

This is a going to effect a psychological change. Instead of going to burn their parent's money, students will be burning their own future earnings, so would likely choose more wisely how they burn it.

Students will also better hold the school to account for what it is they are paying for, which would increase the quality of the education they receive. And if lecturer strikes add to the cost of the loan, God help that lecturer (provided the lecturers are adequately compensated for their service, of course).

JagabanBorgu:
I know about this cassava story.
It was extended to Benue.
I know someone in Abuja who worked tooth and nail to get the contract to Benue only for it to fail, I was told commissioner for agric in benue got involved, that was about 4-5 years ago and the farmers didn't even get 50% of the whole money planned for the program, is that true?
In my town in Osun State, the program was cancelled and no money was disbursed when the person organising it was informed that people were paying for land they never had to show to collect the money. He was the local councillor, but got sacked because he was not corrupt enough to give them the money without checking they would make good use of it and would not likely pay it back.

They were mostly like the person I just responded to above.

Belike you dey high on colos?
Guarantor or no guarantor people we still run with the loan.

Of course some of you will still run away with the loan despite guarantor. It's not like some of you would mind your parents being hassled for a loan you took but never intended to pay back. But we thank the gods that not everyone is like you. Some people respect themselves and their parents enough not to cause distress for their parents and will pay the loan back. The rest of you we will just count as loss and cost of doing business having limited your sort by making it not so easy for you to swindle the government. And of course it will be the last assistance you get from the government or banks as you will never ever be able to show your face again to collect a bank or government loan or assistance.

The NDIC is an affiliate of the CBN and as such is not out of place for the CBN governor to appoint ....
The op said "recommend", and not the "appoint" that you conveniently changed it to!

He said only the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was handed the responsibility of recommending someone to take up the position of the NDIC managing director.
If the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria is recommending, it must be to someone who does the appointing, and I'd expect that to be the president unless you know otherwise.

So, because we have not, according to you, chased those who stole public funds in the past, we should now make it easier for public funds to be stolen?

Yep, that makes loads of sense. Next time there's an election, perhaps elect a a better stealer of public funds so he can let you too so easily steal public funds. There's loads of them in jail already. Just choose one from prison and make him or her your president please.

It's democracy after all. You can vote a president who lets you eat the national cake for free and with no payback.

Certificates can be used as collateral, if Chinese can give loans without collateral and guarantor, we can do the same for our people
We are not China, and Chinese do not give loans without collateral and guarantor. China is a communist country, where communal responsibility is a thing, as opposed to us who would claim to be a capitalist country.

Perhaps when we start chopping off the heads of corrupt politicians and government officials, we too might be trusted to pay back what we owe, but until we have our Mao and our own Communist Revolution, collateral and guarantor is for capitalist us.

That's why the Bank of Industry and Bank of Agriculture are not really impacting the people

Bank of Education is towing same part
Many people got agriculture loans and never paid back.

We were once asked to form a co-op for cassava loans. Lots of people joined only for me to discover those running it were not even farmers, and were padding it with us who were to give them credibility. I later found out this was cassava loan 2.0. First time they did it lots of people ran away from town because they could not pay it back having never had land nor planted cassava.

Personally, I don't understand how people expect a savvy Tinubu (you have to be savvy to have had to forfeit in America what it's claimed he forfeited), not to put hoops in place so he gets our money back plus profit.

To impact people, those who took loans must pay it back.

I doubt people quite understand that the purpose of student loans is so universities can be properly funded.

Of course fees will increase, since current fees do not cover current expenditure, lol. Besides, its a profit making business too, you'd find

The only people at that podium was the ADC, Dele Alake, Tinubu, Gbajabiamila and the man at the other end, which the ADC was signalling for him to come closer.
