Proserpina:
And what became of those women? Especially the ones who ended up with struggling men? In 2026 where nations or at least growth minded nations are on about structural measures to improve their economy , You and op are taking us "thousands of years" backward. Lol

I just hope the young women you will be marrying are millionaires like yourselves else nah poverty go finish una

The women work to feed their men not the other way round. You understand?

Proserpina:
So you marry younger women because they feel like you are taking care of your siblings and somehow you feel other men and women should follow this small mindedness?

Someone should take away your phone. Please log out with immediate effect after clearing this nonsense you posted.

Men have been marrying younger for thousands of years.

Guy you think say Na twitter be this wey you go dey post your old story under the new one, hoping people will see it so that you get paid because of verification?

And I'm sure you're an old man. Who don't know this is nairaland.

Just let us read the news.

success1smyn:
Stupidity at its peak.

Why will the government be sponsoring wedding?

Guy before today you don ever hear of any news from Kebbi state?

Just talk true for your mind.
Now you don hear news from them.
It is what it is.
Na tourism attraction be this.

Cantona77:
Anambra & Ebonyi State are missing. Ebonyi State is supposed to be there strictly bc of their agricultural capacity. Don't know if Anambra swore not to ever enjoy rail system.

Anambra is small. Doesn't need a rail. It can be joined with another state. Read my message above you'll understand

LordFaraday:
I don't understand, he said regional, I was thinking the 5 eastern states, until I saw port Harcourt and akwaibom, Abeg wetin concern does two for the proposed eastern regional rail network
He didn't even add akwa and abakaliki instead he used 2 ss states to replace them.

Companies in Nigeria don't see south south and south east.

They see it as eastern region.
I learnt this from working in two big companies in Nigeria. Any time they addressed the Eastern region in a letter, it was meant for us.

Na we dey form south south and south east.

If you're going to Europe as a lady and you get raped by the Libyans (who don't use a condom). Maybe your life is finished. Or maybe she can help you and actualize your dreams of having a second chance.

But now that she's been caught. It means the person who committed the rape knew what he was doing.

Shikena:
That's why Soludo, a professional in the business of macroeconomics with first class in his first degree and someone with real banking experience, still has a lot of work to do in Anambra because the clueless ones like Peter Obi had no tangible idea or vision on what to do as an executive governor of a small state with lots of underdevelopment

Just so you know accountants are not good at economics. They have a different way of doing things.

IkeOnyia:
Peter Obi hardly ever speaks the truth. Even the current senator of his own senatorial district who is now in his camp, called him out when he lied about leaving money behind for the state. Till date, Senator Victor Umeh has not walked back his assertion.

So you believe Umeh than the records set by Peter Obi?

Let me tell you Peter Obi did well but no one cares, me I don't care.

He isn't ready to rule this country.
If you want to rule this country you should be corrupt not a good person.

That's the only way

Otamendi99:
So the doctor, nurses and other positions that we export abroad and went through these same education. Where did they fall from?

From cocoa plantation. Is Nigeria producing cocoa as before?

Guy Na when your parent salary no come complete Na then you go hate this free education. But you no go fit talk anything.
And besides it won't motivate your parents to work.

ZaRuleOfLaw:
Things like this happen when spineless men are running the affairs of a nation. People-pleasers like obasànjo & jonathan really messed things up.

It couldn't happen when men like abacha walked the earth. Even sultans bowed to him.

It's the reason why most people don't also support obi. He looks like a people-pleaser, but some say it's a camouflage

Because Abacha knew that he was running the country and it wasn't any imaginary being that you can only respect him not Allah

And if you mess up then you are gone. So many northerners knew this too

God abeg why you no born me as woman? Eh.
I for sleep with all my lecturers to pass my exams I no for even read and I for date one Tinubu so that I get him into my oil well while he gives me the real oil well.

Let's bring this back

When he has placed tax on solar panels?

Techu:
Solar panels should be made cheap and available to the common man.

I think the issue of electricity can be solved with solar energy.

Otamendi99:
There is free education from nursery to secondary in imo and Lagos. Free education for indigines in imo.

Free Education doesn't mean quality education. Besides you know that money to pay for free education is being taken from civil servants salary. It's not like it's the government money.
I would have preferred civil servants salary be increased than any stupid free education.

Let's bring this back

IgOga:


There is something happening to the igbo tribe....and whatever it is, it is destructive.

Lagos has the highest number of candidates affected.

A girl ( who is not Igbo) even committed suicide for low score

Director of ICT in JAMB is an Igbo man

Yet it is Igbos elders who are asking for undue reward, advocating to reap where their children did not sow.

The pattern is troubling

Director of ICT is not an igbo man. It's a Yoruba woman and has replaced the Igbo guy since 2023.

Check their site. Her face was removed deliberately.

Sharpsharp00123:
head of jamb ICT is called fabian okoro

Not true this was done on purpose and the Fabian okro was supposed to be the fall guy.

Yes

Front page worthy

Most teachers say they are finding it difficult to teach students because of the lack of motivation by students.

A Research, such as a 2017 study from Kabale district in Uganda, points to similar issues across the region, where inadequate focus on secondary education by governments and donors contributes significantly to poor academic performance. In Nigeria, this lack of prioritization may be compounded by societal shifts, including the rise of distractions like social media and a cultural devaluation of academic achievement among the youth.

Back in time if you score 220 you'll be ashamed of telling people but now these youths don't care, they don't want to read. They score 100 and are happy about it. Even though there's Artificial Intelligence and CBT Centres with computers etc.

students show “zero zeal and concentration” while preparing for exams.

We need to look into this issue and see how we can solve this.

Yes

olaiya2007:
So if PDP or any other party wins the presidential election, all state governors should defect to the ruling party to 'secure their future'

This is what has been happening. Haven't you been seeing it?

They are the same people.

Tochi3:


..if Gov. Otti can already secure the future of Abians by not joining Apcshit..there is also no good reason for him to decamp to a party of failures & terrorists..

..the day Otti will make that mistake..it the day the killings of fulani herdsmen will increase further..& he will be forced to deny such killings..claiming they are communal clashes..

..he is doing well not joining the evil party..& he loses nothing nöt joining the coven öf mandate thieves..

Bro he borrowed money from banks. He will need to pay back those loans. Where is he going to get the money?
I hope you know what credit worthiness means.

Governor Alex Otti faces a critical decision: remain in the Labour Party (LP) as an opposition leader, risking federal pushback and limited resources, or join the All Progressives Congress (APC) to secure Abia’s development. Staying with LP preserves his outsider appeal but could isolate him in a system where federal favor drives funding for projects like roads and power. Joining APC aligns him with Nigeria’s power center, ensuring steady FAAC allocations, federal projects, and political clout to sustain his transformative agenda—timely salaries, infrastructure, and economic growth—while shielding Abia from potential financial sabotage

Governor Alex Otti has been a breath of fresh air for Abia State since taking office in 2023. His Labour Party (LP) platform gave him the edge to win, and he’s delivered—fixing roads like Port Harcourt Road, ensuring salaries are paid on time, and pushing projects like the Geometric Power Plant in Aba. But Nigeria’s politics is a tough game, and staying with a weakened LP could put Otti and Abia in a tight spot. There’s talk, though unconfirmed, that the federal government might hold back funds to pressure Otti into joining the All Progressives Congress (APC). Whether that’s true or not, aligning with the APC makes sense for Otti to keep Abia on track and avoid headaches that could stall his progress. Here’s why this move could be a game-changer for the state.

First off, Nigeria’s system gives the federal government serious control over state funds. Abia depends on monthly FAAC allocations to pay its bills, service its N192 billion debt, and fund Otti’s big projects. If the FG, led by the APC, decides to play hardball—say, by delaying funds or sidelining Abia in federal programs—it could mess with Otti’s plans. We’ve seen opposition states struggle with this before, even if no hard proof exists for Abia right now. Joining the APC would put Otti on the same team as the FG, smoothing out access to funds and protecting Abia from any political games. It’s not about giving in; it’s about making sure the state’s money keeps flowing to keep the lights on and roads paved.

Then there’s the chance to tap into federal support. Otti’s doing great things, but projects like Geometric Power or major roadworks need more than Abia’s slim budget can handle. The APC controls federal agencies like the NDDC and the Ministry of Power, which can pour resources into states they favor. If Otti’s in the APC, he could push for Abia to get more federal projects—think better power for Aba’s markets or new highways to boost trade. Look at how APC states often get priority for federal goodies; Abia could be next in line, giving Otti the tools to scale up his vision.

Politically, the APC offers Otti a stronger base. The LP is crumbling nationally, with infighting and no real clout since 2023. Big shots like Senate President Godswill Akpabio have openly called Otti to join the APC, saying it’s his best shot for 2027. They’re not wrong—APC’s machine could lock in Otti’s re-election and give Abia a louder voice in Abuja. Imagine Otti shaping Southeast policies or securing more federal investment for Abia, something he can’t do as an LP outsider. Plus, being in the APC could quiet local rivals who might stir trouble if he stays isolated.

Some folks will say Otti shouldn’t ditch LP—it’s what got him elected, and his fans love his outsider vibe. Fair point, but Abia’s voters care more about results than party logos. Otti’s built trust by delivering, and he can keep that up in the APC without losing his edge. Others might worry he’d be a federal puppet, but Otti’s no pushover. His track record and praise from heavyweights like Obasanjo show he’s got the smarts to hold his own in any party.

Bottom line: Otti joining the APC isn’t about selling out—it’s about playing smart to keep Abia moving forward. It secures the funds, opens federal doors, and strengthens his hand politically. Abia’s progress is too important to risk on LP’s shaky ground. Otti’s got the chance to make Abia a powerhouse, and the APC could be the key to getting it done.
