Caleb-Nicholas Echoga THE NIGERIAN LEADERSHIP : A CONGLOMERATE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC IGNORAMUSES Everyday I listen to news on Nigeria, I get more convinced that the government is getting better at devising ways of insulting our intelligence. The geniuses behind the decision to share Abacha's loot to the poor must be commended for their unparalleled incompetence on matters of governance. The Nigerian people are poor because the government has failed completely in providing the enabling environment for businesses to thrive whilst also failing to provide jobs. For God sake, what can 5,000 naira a month do for families in Nigeria bedevilled with untold hardship and lack? What ever happened to putting in place genuine socio-economic programmes for skill acquisition, trade learning, education and self empowerment. And by empowerment I do not mean the the farce stages by our 'legislathieves' and 'executhieves' where cutlasses, hoes and wheelbarrows are distributed to graduates, I mean genuine poverty alleviation programmes. A Japanese proverb comes to mind. " Give a man fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". But you know, I'm not concerned about the disbursement of the monies to the poor. I'm only fixated on one question. What is the criteria for determining who the poor amongst us are? A program which superficially is intended to aid the poor is one I see as another avenue for the plundering and looting of our collective wealth. In no distant future I wont be surprised of reports of individuals in government having registered several of their family members or certain persons receiving stipends for several others. But I'm not only concerned about how these funds will reach those who truly deserve it. I'm very concerned about the states benefiting from the Abacha's Loot. Which is miles away from a disbursement formula hinged on equity. The National Cash Transfer Office has listed the beneficiary states as : Niger, Kogi, Ekiti, Osun,Oyo,Kwara, Cross River, Bauchi, Gombe,Jigawa, Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarrawa, Anambra and Internally Displaced Persons Camps (IDPs) in Borno. Whilst disbursement to the middle belt states ravaged by herdsmen attack is conscionable, I do not understand the justification for the inclusion of states as Gombe, Jigawa, Oyo and Osun sates amongst others. Anambra is the only state in the entire southeast included in the list and Crossriver the only oil producing state. Oil for decades has been the mainstay of the Nigeria economy. it is therefore difficult to understand why communities ravaged by the effect of oil exploration are not included as beneficiaries. Are the only poor people in Nigeria found in the North? A responsible government, sincere about fighting corruption in its various forms including nepotism must reduce all fora for it to survive. Our long history of looting should be a guide for the government to ensure that the recovered loot is used in the best possible way for Nigerians whilst reducing channels of waste. Whatever happened to using the funds to make JAMB and WAEC forms for every Nigerian free for 2 years? Why can't the funds be dedicated to ending the never ending rift between ASUU and the federal government to address the infrastructural mess within our public universities? Unless the government is willing to show an acceptable criteria for determining the poorest Nigerians, whilst ensuring national representation , it should put these monies into genuine national programmes as suggested, which every Nigeria can benefit from. # getyourpvctoday !!

My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones as a result of accidents caused by Dangote trucks. But I would like to use this medium to set some facts straight.
1 Yes it can be said that Dangote as a person 'owns' the trucks but he only does so as a majority shareholder in the Dangote Group of Companies.
2 By establishing Dangote Plc as a company, the company in the eyes of the law becomes a separate legal entity that can be sued and sued in its own name. The implication of this is that the assets and liabilities of Dangote Plc are separate from the assets and liabilities of Dangote as a person.
3 Thus in the eyes of the law, the trucks are not really owned by Dangote as a person but by the company. Thus any liability the truck incures e.g through reckless driving, belongs to the company and not Dangote himself.
4 Ever wondered why it is called Dangote Group of Companies? Most successful business men setup several companies dealing with different businesses. As explained above, since each company is a separate artificial person, it therefore means for example that if a truck belonging to Dangote Sugar Plc kills a person, only Dangote Sugar Plc can be held liable and not Dangote Noodles Plc or Dangote Cement Plc nor Dangote himself. The idea is simple, to spread risk.
5 We must understand that based on the provisions of the law, nobody can sue Dangote as a person.(See
Section 37 Company and Allied Matters Act, 2004)
6 What can be done? The answer is simple. The families of the deceased should get a good lawyer and Sue the Driver and Dangote Plc for negligence in tort . Since it is obvious the driver would be unable to pay, Dangote Plc is also joined as a defendant to pay for the recklessness of its employees by the legal principle of vicarious liability.
Lastly my thoughts are with the families of the deceased. Let's learn to know our rights and what the law says.

Bro, your piece is really encouraging. I am also a law student like you. I'm in my final year with a CGPA of 4.49....any advice for me. I feel scared and discouraged beingn so close to 1st class.

This herdsmen issue has been taken too far.

It's just a minor issue.
A private issue between farmers and herdsmen over 1000 stolen cows which would be resolved soon.

you're a fool!!

MEGA4BILLION:
over 98% of school relationship doesn't ends in marriage no matter how much you love each other, am talking from experience.

Tnks bro but what's your advice?

Hello guys! I'll try to keep this as straight to the point as possible. I welcome all advice and constructive criticisms.
I've been in a 2year relationship with my girlfriend and for the better part of this time spent we've been good. She asked me a couple of days ago if I see us been married in future. I told, her I see us dating in the near future with prospects but not a full marriage picture because it's something we hadn't yet discussed.
Now, note that we are both 22 years old. Am in my final year she is in her penultimate year.
She then mentioned that she new as a guy it would probably take me another ten years to gain some stability and be capable of financial responsibilities in my chosen profession law. She said she's not willing to wait beyond 5 years as she needs to get married, start a life an start making other plans in life.
I told her I can do all it takes to be ready in 5 years but there is no guarantee that things would work out as planned.
I went on to tell her that I loved her and I needed her to be able to trust me and stick with me. She said she feels the same way too but she can't wait so long.
At this point I felt there was really not much I could say to change her mind as regards her '5 year ultimatum'. So I asked her to do what she felt was in her best interest and she shouldn't let me stand in the way even if it meant quitting us as it seemed rather inevitable she would do same in 5 years if I'm not ready.
At this point she began saying I was always quick to not wanting to fight for our relationship. And I told I could see very little she wanted me to fight for when out of the blues she gives me an ultimatum as though I'd been carefree the whole time.
I really do love her, but since we had this discussion our conversations have gone sour and have been very mechanical. I really do have concrete plans for her in future but it's disheartening knowing am an option that will be dropped in 5 years if im not stable enough to Wed her.
I really need you all to understand how far the average 21 year old would have progressed in 5 years still faced with the hurdles of the law school and N.Y.S.C.
I understand perfectly the pressure on her to get married in a society that places so much importance on a lady been married before she can be respected. But then again I feel if she really does want me to fight to keep her it shouldn't be with all of the ultimatums.
I'm 22, I believe really do believe there's more to life and more to be achieved than bending to society's eternal pressure of 'settling down'. This is a view she seems not to share rather obviously though I haven't mentioned it.
So I ask, do I go on investing emotionally and financially into a relationship with someone who has a timer for our relationship?

Homosexuality is not and can never be a sin.

it is fornication that is sinful.



There will be more homosexuals in heaven than straight people

This promotion of sin got 47 likes. it tells you we have at least 47 homosexuals on nairaland. You perverts should stop wasting your time... Homosexuality will never be accepted in Nigeria!

What a way to bow out of his illustrious career, it is better in a way than he come third at least the injury can be an excuse.
Sports is the future of money making.
If you start school at the age of 2 years, 6 years primary, 6years secondary, 4years university, 2 years masters and get a job of 300k immediately after school and work for 30 years = N 108 million. Neymar is earning 35 million per day, his 4 days pay is more than your 30 years salary.
Conclusion if Education is the Key to success, that means sports is the Master Key

DaySpringer:


I don't know your personality type but you are a First classer so I will try to give you a Broad range Advice.

You must be very realistic with yourself when it comes to life decisions.
You must be able to tell yourself realistic truths and ask yourself serious questions as they will help you get your head straight

I assume that this is either your first serious relationship or it is the first relationship where you are in love or both.
It might also be your first Heartbreak and that is why you are so distraught.

Now ask yourself the following serious Questions.
1. How long before you will be able to marry this girl? How many years of serious relationship? I don't know how old she is but since you are 21 with a bright career future, it might be a really long time ahead, years definitely filled with many variables.
Do you really think that your current love and university relationship will make it through NYSC, Long distance career separations and eventually end up in marriage? very few relationships survive long distance and even fewer relationships make it out of the four walls of a relationship.

A truth
Women are ephemeral. They are temporary beings, they come and they go and they stay only when the conditions are right, when something about the right conditions change, you see them beginning to Falter. Maintaining the right conditions is not something that one man can carry on and successfully accomplish.
My point?
Y[b]our Certificate will always be there with you.[/b] The sense of satisfaction will always be there when you look at the struggles and how you overcame them and achieved your desired goal.

2. Which would be better to deal with? Being sad knowing you lost a woman you were in love with while holding your First class certificate or Being depressed that you lost a good woman and still lost the goal? There are many women out there and you will always get over a heartbreak but you can never go back and get the same first class you know you should have been able to get.

3. Do you think your girlfriend would stay with you if you loved her and dated her and then at the end of the day lost your goal?
Do you think she would date you will Guilt on her mind? Let me tell you something, Guilt dries up love! She would be feeling guilty and then gradually drift into the arms of another man, who being with does not make her feel any Guilt.


I am typing all this so that you can get your head straight, Girlfriend or not.
Getting your girlfriend back is as simple as calling her over the phone, asking to meet up and then apologizing for saying what you said and Gbam, you guys will be back together.
But what then happens when that cold, unresponsiveness you sensed before begins to rear it's head up even more and then you start suspecting that her attentions are being taken by someone else? You think what your feeling bad now? What happens when insecurity and paranoia set in?

Be Selfish here, brother, Chase your first class and be happy with yourself because one Raw truth is that you and that girl came out of separate wombs and you are not even able to marry her now now if it comes down to it. Sh won't even be with you if you end up wi
th a 2.1 because you'd be a Failure (Relatively ofcourse).

Focus.

Thanks bro. God bless you for taking time out to commeny

DaySpringer:

What do you mean by borderline first class. What is your current CGPA, Your age (you above 22?) and the remaining semesters you have left?



No smoke without fire, the bolded is what struck me the most about what you typed up there.
So you mean that you could actually blame this girl if you don't end up with a first class?
Have you ever blamed her before?
Think really hard, is there anything that you might have blurted out in an argument?
I mean there is a reason your girlfriend would be feeling really Guilty about your GP, something that doesn't concern her, and has only to do with your ability to focus and achieve your goal. All she does is help you "not get mentally exhausted", How then did she make the connection that you not getting your goal has something to do with her if you both can read 5 hours without talking to each other?

P.S.. What level is she in and what is she on? 2.1 or 1.1

I have two semesters left. I am on a 4.51 she is on a 2.1... I have never for once blamed her for my results. A year ago I asked her for a break cause I wasn't really sure about our relationship I just needed my space to clear my head. we got back though and she brought up up for the 1st time the fact that she felt she maybe distracting me. its a year later and results are out. I experienced another decline and I noticed she was acting cold and unresponsive and after asking what was wrong she brought it up again.
I love her and I explained to her that she wasn't distracting me. the issue is her reference to this decline has gotten into my thoughts . This is explains my fears that I could blame her someday.
I'm 21

babyfaceafrica:
Lolz...your English is poor,you need Jesus in your life not any woman and face your studies, what will be will be...life is more than first class and women!!!

Thanks for the advice. My English is not poor as it may seem. I typed with phone and that's why there are typographical areas all over. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. But like I said anytime results are out and I don't do so great she begins to tell me how guitky she feels. I don't see her as the reason intact she doesn't distract me but she keeps telling me she is bothered

This is my first time relating my personal experience on an online romance platform. My reason for doing so us to get as many criticisms and advice as possible.
I've been in a 2year relationship with my girlfriend a d I brokeup with her yesterday. The reason for our breakup is tied to the fact that she feels somewhat guilty that our relationship has affected my academic performance. Am in my final year in the university and there's nothing more I want than graduating with a 1st class. before we started dating I was on a fairly strong first class and currently I am on what we regard as a border line 1st class.
My girlfriend feels guilty and I've spoken to her about the fact that she in no way is a distraction to me. Because she's someone Ive been in the classroom with and we could read for over 5hours without even talking to each other and people wouldn't even think we are dating. On the days I forget to eat because I'm studying she gets me food so I don't get exhausted mentally. She supports me always advice's against us hanging out for to long when its obvious I have books to read. I can go on and on of how much I don't see her as a distraction.
but the truth is there's this fear I feel that one day I would turn around and blame her and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.
to avoid this I decided to ask if any thing was bothering her and my performances academically came up and she said she felt horrible. She loves me I know she does but my quest for making a 1st class is all I think about these days. To avoid the while scenario of a blame game like I've captured above I decided to call it quits.
the thing is since yesterday I can barely do a thing. All I think about is her. I feel like my heart has being reaped out of me . And I realize how much she means to me and how I can't do without her . I've never loved anyone besides my family and God this much.
what is the guarantee that in leaving her I'll make this result I desperately crave? I want to be able to tell myself that whatever I leave d university with, I would never in the future blame her for it.
I'm confused . I need her her back. I don't know what to tell her. I don't know how to get my academic foals and my ex aligned.
pls I welcome the opinions of everyone especially those who have been plagued with similar instances and how they managed the situation. Thanks
