IyaebeTheGreat: Yes, you stated the simple truth. He played the ostrich all through, thinking the hard way is the only way. He succeeded in leaving a legacy, to wit: the most insensitive civilian president Nigeria ever had. 1 Like 1 Share |

Parachoko:A partial closure where students take virtual lectures for the duration of the voting period would have been better. That would afford academic activities to go on while students still get to vote. Some students registered in school and by shutting down halls of residence along with the schools, they will have no option but to leave and ultimately get disenfranchised. |

Timoleon: I'm glad you get the overall picture. 998 million or a billion naira, the money would have contributed immensely to ABU's financial standing. Excuse my illiteracy or half-baked education but in the simple arithmetic taught to me in my primary school, 998 million would be rounded up to a billion, and over a billion is still in the range of a billion. However, I appreciate you highlighting the facts against the fiction. Forgive my comedy of errors. |

Former ABU's VC and bursar were arraigned for embezzlement of over a billion naira this last week. I'm aware of the same in FUOYE. Are these people looking for increased funding by all means so they too can have money to steal like the politicians or because they want better education for Nigerian students? Their moves are becoming suspicious o. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: Governors Ask Buhari To Take 33 Steps To Rescue Nigeria’s Economy (Full List) by Canvass: 2:34pm On Aug 08, 2022 |
aspabay: At first glance, the suggestions seem solid but on consideration, I become a little sceptical. I don't know a lot of economics but I know these; 1. The crux of the matter is that they are suggesting every Nigerian should make sacrifices towards rescuing the economy. However, the first set of questions to be answered are how did we get here and if rescued, how do we sustain the economy in better stead? If all the elements that got us here are still with us, is it not a defeated cause from outset? Please, I don't buy the idea that Jonathan or 16 year rule of the PDP got us here. Obasanjo and Yar'adua did well with economy. Aside that, 8 years is enough to make a telling impact. 2. What are the effects of these policies on the common man that drives the economy? The middle and the upper income earners can easily make adjustments but can the vast majority of the low income earners do the same? 3. How many Nigerians would repose confidence in a wasteful government and readily make sacrifices? With the Nigerian government giving over 1billion to Niger Republic, Afghanistan and building unnecessary rail to Maradi in Niger, I'm not sure we are broke enough. 4. It's easier to talk about abolishing the State PIT in favour of the Federal PIT, but with Wike's outburst, we now think the unproductive northern states cannot be sharing of the revenues generated by the productive southern states. Is this not a recipe for future chaos? 5. Isn't it a knee-jerk reaction to be ringing so many changes all at once without fixing the security problems of Nigeria? If the citizens can go about their businesses without fear, then the economy would benefit from higher GDP and internally generated monies as against borrowing, even if borrowing is essential and running a deficit budget is not entirely a bad thing in macroeconomics. 6. If the CBN is so bereft of ideas and has lost focus of its primary functions under the current leadership, why is the CBN governor still retained while we paper the crack at the expense of the poor masses? Who gave the CBN the order to keep printing money to the detriment of the economy? 7. Nothing has changed for the common man except the state of affairs getting worse. These policies would compound the problems in folds. Are we sure these people are suggesting these solutions for the benefit of the populace or do they just want to ensure they can continue to fund their lavish lifestyles from the government coffers? 8. Where is the sense in giving the poorest of poor some money a few months back only to turn around and tax them blind afterwards? They must be geniuses that have found a way of investing the handouts to yield enough dividends to be taxed in this terrible economy. 9. Let these people start with cutting expenses by reviewing their emoluments and entitlements to reflect the realities on the ground. They should also focus on taxing the rich, encouraging foreign investments, blocking wastages e.g. the Father Christmas posture of Buhari and stopping their lavishness like their children schooling abroad, running abroad for medical care, excesses of their family members e.g. Yusuf Buhari motorbike example, Zahra Buhari photography expenditure etc. When we see their sacrifices and attendant improvement to the economy, we all will be willing and ready to do likewise. |

Education / Re: Sokoto Girl Leads With Highest Score As FG Releases NCEE Results by Canvass: 7:44pm On Jun 20, 2022 |
As in it's insane. Just Kogi and Kwara, which are not even true northern states, getting above 100 and Kaduna prides itself as the 'centre of learning'. It's a similar story in UTME and WAEC with southerners dominating but the northerners getting admitted on very low scores. After graduating, the quota candidates get all the sensitive jobs while the better equipped southerners settle for lesser positions. The ineptitude eventually shows when they become leaders and successfully ruin the economy. Nigeria may not be great until we get fundamentals like this right. 102 Likes 11 Shares |

Say anything you like to me personally and I would have taken it as normal NL jibes but dragging parents in the mud just cos opinions differ is not exactly a bright idea to me.

This picture is too graphic. A gory sight indeed. Maybe everyone getting married should be subjected to mandatory mental evaluation and drug tests. People are becoming very aggressive and extremely violent nowadays. I wonder if the guy that killed this woman remembers they ever smiled and shared quality time in the past.

Emilokoiyawon: Lol. All that amala, almajiri and stuff are just illustrations and distractions that I laugh about most times. We have kids, glorified children and some that are not so bright here, that only see from their own myopic point of view. I don't take them too seriously cos I know not all Westerners are skull miners, not all Hausas are almajerai, not all Igbos are obstinate, not all Christians are sanctimonious and not all Muslims are fundamentalists but all Nigerians want a peaceful, prosperous country where they have a sense of belonging. Serious nation management in a country like ours requires compromises, sacrifices and mutual understanding. When these are lacking is when talks about secession and break-up comes into the picture. |

Dmacqh: About believing in Almighty God, I agree with you absolutely as this story does not disprove His existence. The reptilians met a pre-existing hostile entities in the inner sanctum of the earth that they subdued. The entities are the ones the shamans, magicians and spiritists commune with and they requires blood to cooperate with humans, according to Mr Ourtruth. The question is who created these hostile entities and how did they get to earth before everyone else? There is a grand designer who created all and He is the almighty we seek. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Buhari Consensus Candidate A Scam Of The 21st Century by Canvass: 9:13am On Jun 05, 2022 |
The North once voted Abiola against all odds and expectations of the hegemony. The North once gave it up for Obasanjo. It's an open secret that the North knows that power is coming back up soon. I think the North loves power but they know when to reach a compromise. However, can we say the same about the West? If the South loses power to Atiku, it's not cos the North is smart but cos the South is not. For argument's sake, let the South unite behind Obi and see if the North would win. Anyways, I won't blame the West too much cos even the East is not united behind Obi. 2 Likes |
