Judolisco: people that completed secondary school in d 60's or 70's can speak very good English most of them were taught by the whites.... But u see even graduates now struggling
My uncle had secondary education in 50s. Most professor of english cannot match his speaking ability. They called him professor then. Well, we got independent too early. We had few educated elites when Britons left . Awo, Zik, Bello were myopic in their views. They were in their 40s then.

JaneYave: If it's not a purely devilish minded creature, why will you hit a woman with matchete and rape her again? The last mistake is to be hospitable to those creatures, they don't even deserve water. You see them as friends, they see you as only good for killing. Ballantly wicked beings, give them space to rest under your shade and they tell you all your land belongs to them.
I see fulani men as roaring lion and poisonous snakes . Show them love, get yourself killed or hurt.
‘They Begged For Water Before Attacking Us’ – Traumatised Oyo Women Raped By Herdsmen Recount Ordeal
Sola, an eighteen-year-old victim who was raped on her father’s farm, said she had gone alongside her siblings to the farm to assist her parents as it was harvest season.
According to a report by SaharaReporters, some r*pe victims in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State, have recounted their ordeals at the hands of herders in the area.
Sola, an eighteen-year-old victim who was raped on her father’s farm, said she had gone alongside her siblings to the farm to assist her parents as it was harvest season.
“Around 4 pm, when we were completing the day’s work, a Fulani herder came to us to beg for water. We gave him water and immediately left the farm. He didn’t leave but hid somewhere to follow us. I was behind while my siblings were in front,” she told Punch.
“Suddenly, somebody hit me with an object at the back. Before I knew what was going on, he pounced on me and ripped off my clothes. My siblings ran away to get help from the village. But before help could come, he had molested me sexually and fled.”
She said the criminal was caught but she never got justice.
Also speaking, a woman in her mid-fifties identified only as Victoria said a herder sexually abused her.
Victoria said hers was a double jeopardy case as her daughter was also a victim six months later.
She said, “I went to the farm that day around 3 pm. Later, a Fulani man came to beg me for water and I gave him and faced my work for the day. I was with some children helping on the farm. We were still working when he returned and asked for water again. Then I became suspicious. I told him to leave and before I could walk away, he hit me with a machete.”
According to her, the children fled while she was captured and raped, adding that the herder escaped before help could come.
Abosede, a mother of five, who was also a victim, said fending for a living had become a Herculean task as she couldn’t go to her farm for fear of being attacked.
She said, “The attack on me happened in the afternoon on my cashew farm. I was harvesting cashew that day and we took a break to boil some yam to eat. While we were boiling the yam, a Fulani man came and asked me for water. I didn’t know him, but I gave him water because there are many of them in the area. I didn’t know that it’s their usual method.”
For another victim of rape by killer herdsmen, Solape, her survival and escape were attributed to the ‘mercy of God.’
She said, “I went to my farm at Olowoyo area of Agbarigbari that day when the incident occurred. While I was on the farm, the young Fulani man passed greeted me and went his way. Not too long after, he returned and requested water. In my mind, I thought he was too shy to ask for water and that was why he went away earlier. I did know he had an evil intention.”
She said before she could turn to give him water, he hit her with a machete; she went on all fours as blood spilt out and he still raped her in that condition.
She stated, “After the police waded in, the issue was resolved after pleas from the Fulani community. I haven’t got over it. The experience never left me.”
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the police in the state, Olugbenga Fadeyi, said if the rape cases were reported in the divisions there, Igangan and Ayete, investigations would commence on them.
He also said such cases would be transferred to the SCIID, Iyanganku, Ibadan, for a discrete investigation to follow up on them and apprehend the suspects for prosecution.
She stated, “After the police waded in, the issue was resolved after pleas from the Fulani community. I haven’t got over it. The experience never left me.”
Police men are the problem. How can police allow rape and murder cases to be settled out of court? Never show mercy to fulani men. Hausa could be very nice if you are nice to them and vice versa. But for fulani, if you are good to them, you are the next target. They see kind people as weakling . If fulani men ask you for water, run from them. Don't entertain demons. They would hurt you. Fulani herdsmen are demons .
Missions should collect their school back and run it as charity . Many otgnizations are ready to give grants to schools, hospitals etc that are being run as charity. Islam world is campaigning for use of hijab in preparation for global jihad. Women and the children are the targets. Hijab would be used to differentiate muslims from non-muslims. I agree with CAN on this. Hijab is is one of manifestations Islamic extremism. Wearing of hijab is not compulsory in islam. Most muslims advocating for use of hijab are terrorists. Islam did not invent hijab.
joseph032: That man haven’t gone for Medical Checkup abroad for years now. Make me believe the man is Dead. Or maybe he had a complete healing. Las las Only God can save this Country
He is serious demented with loss of ability to control urination and defecation. It is not easy to clean messy.
They are not ready to fix congestion in apapa. How one port be serving a country with population of over 200M? Lagos poor road network is also problem. There are more vehicles in lagos than roads.
Humans are insatiable. Siblings, relatives and friends are worse . If they ask for 10,000, give 2k or say no or promise. If you keep responding to their needs, they keep asking for more.
I do help people when they are not expecting it. They appreciate it more. I identify their needs and I help. If you request for help, I determine if your request is necessary or not. I focus on basic human needs-medicals. I can't buy clothes for your owambe. I can subscribe for your dstv. I can't pay for extravagant life styles.
I keep simple eyes. I don't discuss material things. I discuss life. You wouldn't see me in social media posting about my success. I live below my income but I do investment for sale of my children and my old age. I do not want rely on my children on my old age.
Worry less about people. If you don't exist, they would be fine. If you are filling their needs without hesitancy , they would be pampered.
I encourage people around me to acquire skills so as to take care of themselves . I tell them to be self-reliant. I learnt that skills as student. I rarely burrow. I don't buy things on impulse. @HappyNigerian If you get married, and your responsibilities increase, they would tag your wife a witch and wicked. That she is 'eating' your money. I think you enjoy spending on them so that they can be calling you big man of the family.
That is the reason most yoruba muslims are rooting for Tinubu or fashola to get a shot at president. I think Muslim from south and Christian from north should occupy aso rock.
VanessaKokomama: The kidnap 300 girls, Let me break it down for you:
If these monsters use an 18seater bus, They will need 16buses to do this.
What about checkpoints? How is their logistics so perfect? Where do they lodge over 300 people for days before they get ransom?
This is a crazy country.
Kidnap victims would also share in the ransom. Banditry in the north is supported by the majority because of religion and politics . It is also business.
jlinkd78: Shame to d Nigeria Police. This is same Eagle Crack team that killed Chima of d Ikokwu-Four. Very heartless. If u v not been a victim of Police inhumane treatment u won't appreciate how monstrous these agents of darkness in uniform are.
I remember the guy. He was a mechanic. Police officers are the real criminals. Police is connected to most of the kidnappings and bank robberies in the country.
cocolacec: Europeans who brought xtianity to Nigeria allow muslims to use hijab in their mission schools.My wife once attended a xtian school in Europe with hijab and no one castigated her.She was treated like any other student.No discrimination in any form.
It will shock you,they also provide a place for prayer for muslim students.Only Africans carry religion for head like gala fighting for Eastern religions.
Europeans learned the hard way ,that only humanity and tolerance will save the human race not religion.
If only humanity and tolerance that can save humanity , why muslims carry religion for heads. Also , most Europeans see hijab as Arabic culture. They also allow other students from middle east to use their religious attires. Do you think muslims can allow shrines in their schools?
BeLookingIDIOT: Yeah,subsidised from 10x to 7x the prices.
Whatever!!! If governments have not taken over mission schools, do you think missions would abandon them to become desolate ? Governments should build their own schools. They should return mission schools for their owners. Grants do not make governments owners of those schools. Missions are the owners. Public-funded school is different from schools being supported with public funds in the name of grants or aids.
WILLuKPquiet: Muslims are too problematic. You don't send a Muslim girl or boy to Christ Apostolic School and start making case for her to wear hijab because it is a public school.
There are Muslim public schools to send your kids to. Anwar Islam grammar school, Arbedeen secondary School etc. There, they will do all they want as Muslims.
A Christian that sends his child to a Muslim school too should be ready to abide by their rules also. You can't put crucifiction pendant on your neck in such schools or want to leave your head open as a girl. That is the way it should be.
But Muslims will intentionally send kids to Christian schools and start fighting for rights that they don't have. Muslims are the ones showing that their religion is not a religion of peace in their actions and utterances.
Take for instance, in Iree town in Osun State where we have the Polytechnic Iree. There is a School. Baptist secondary school. It was built by the Nigerian Baptist Conversation more than hundred years back. The school has a chapel.
In 2006 or thereabout, the Muslims students and their parents rose up and told the school they need a mosque in the school because the Christian students have a chapel. That Muslim students need a place to worship too. Who ever don't believe this story should take a trip to Iree town and verify.
When the matter almost escalated to war, the Nigerian Baptist Conversation after being consulted by the government decided to give in to the request. So, they carved a space for them to build their mosque near the school gate. And then a mosque was built there. After about a year or two the Muslims extended the land given to them and created a carwash beside the mosque.
Now my question is, is it possible for Muslims to allow Christian Chapel to be built on the land of a Muslim School even if it is a public school?
Everyone knows the answer.
Muslims are trouble makers. I know. They always look for opportunity to create problems and most Christians are ignorant . They would be shouting love of Christ. The best thing is for schools to be returned to missions. Missions are capable of running their schools. If they can build and manage private universities, secondary schools should not be difficult to manage.
