Many of the teachers in those schools aged between 20 and 50 never learnt or sang the re-introduced national anthem throughout their time as students. They will have to learn it afresh. A window of say, 1 month should be given for them to learn it or those who sang it last in 1978 to re-learn it.

there is no way the community was not engaged at the start of the project
no way the government was also not engaged
what they should be doing is ensuring the necessary safety standards are put in place
potential investors are also watching to see how this unfolds

this is how the communities in warri harrassed oil companies till they all pulled out.
now warri is a shell of itself

The community was not engaged. One or two persons
cannot represent a community. The community was not involved from day 1. The community got to know one or two days to the day they dug the foundation. The community was never part of it.

Graubie:
Reverend Ekema Njoku, revealed that the Umuriem community unanimously agreed and approved the construction of the gas plant “Umuriem welfare association granted the consent to build the gas plant,” he said.

Not true. Some people were believed to have secretly collected money to approve the construction of the Gas plant. Everything was done in secret before members of the community became aware of the plans to build a gas plant. This led to a lot of quarrels. The community never accepted the construction of the gas plant as it was too close to residential buildings. And in that village, the houses are too close to each other. If there is a fire outbreak, the whole village will be razed down.

This decision by Bayern to hire Company as coach is Spiritual positively or negatively. It's an inexplicable miracle for Company. This is an opportunity for him to prove himself. The ball is in his court.

Mine is different.
Mine was not wedding invitation but funeral. One of my colleagues at work not close invited me to be in her committe of friends when she lost her mother. We were not close. She is in a distant department but we exchange greetings occasionally when we saw. But we have never discussed for 20; minutes before. I politely declined because things were terribly difficult for me and funeral was not in Lagos but in Anambra. There was no practical means of me attending the funeral. I noticed her attitude has significantly changed always wearing a long face.

Woe is he that puts his trust in man.

These plethora of unproductive breaking of Guiness World records have become irritating. We need people to contribute to economic growth and development of our nation rather than vain aspirations.

Ranking is not always very accurate and does not reflect reality and true picture. The truth is that private universities devote a lot of time to documentation and tailor all their energies into coming tops in global rankings. Many of the private universities are serviced by staff of Federal Universities as adjuncts. Ranking can be misleading as it does not reflect the quality of teaching and impact of the products of the universities. For instance, there is no way a university less than 20 years can match the impact of the University of Ibadan which has existed for more than 70 years and produced various global icons. The truth is that the research of many old or retired professors at such universities may not be available online.

Just like that? What about programmes that have been scheduled to hold at that venue which has been paid for? He should have given a notice of at least 3 months.

Very sad and unfortunate. It's when you suffer from a major health challenge that you know how poor and frail you are. Money earned in 5 years may not be enough for one month. May God help us in this country.

This man must be a chronic liar and mentally sick. Even kids in primary school know about the report

All these shutdowns of markets have a cumulative effect on the economy that is already strangulated.

"And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." - Luke 12:15.

Life is ephemeral. His death was very sad and tragic. We should all remember that we are pilgrims on earth.

Emilokan and having capacity to govern are totally different. The void created by this is huge. Also in teritary institutions he came and dissolved Governing Councils. At least Buhari allowed Governing Councils appointed by Jonathan to conclude their terms. 7 months later there are no Governing Councils. The promotion of many persons is hanging. Head of these institutions are operating like kings.

It was during Buhari's draconian regime in 1985 that Nigeria won the first ever Kodak Under-17 World Cup.

Abacha as bad as Nigerian's remembered with was the Nigerian leader when Nigeria won most of the famous sports competitions.

In 1994, Super eagles of Nigeria won AFCON during Abacha's regime.

Super eagles played in the first ever World Cup in 1994 under General Sanni Abacha. In their first match Nigeria beat star-studded Bulgaria 3:0. Marginally lost to Argentina 1:2 and beat Greece 2:0.
We were painfully eliminated by Italy 1:2 after leading them 1:0 until the dying minutes when Roberto Baggio equalised. They were awarded a controversial penalty in extra time which the converted. Italy played all the way to the final where they lost to Brazil on penalties.

It was during Abacha's regime that Nigeria won the first and only Olympic Gold medal in Football. It was during Abacha's regime that Chioma Ajunwa won the first individual gold medal for Nigeria. Did that make Abacha the best thing that happened to Nigeria??

Rostikol:
Until we START TO LOVE, PREFER, and VALUE NIGERIAN-MADE GOODS AND SERVICES over foreign-made goods and services, FORGET ABOUT THE NAIRA VALUE RISING.

Until we PREFER to buy Nigerian made shoes, slippers, handbags, cars, sandals, clothes, watches, bangles, etc INSTEAD OF foreign made, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We have to start to see things like the Chinese.

A China man prefers to buy made in China, even if the foreign version from London is of better quality.

Why? Because he's thinking ''why should I enrich Europeans instead of my own Chinese people?''

And so, this makes manufacturing very profitable in China! And the currency very strong! There is more demand for the Chinese yuan than for the dollar!

Why?

Because the people PREFER made in China to imported!

Without that mindset in Nigeria, FORGET ABOUT NAIRA VALUE RISING.

We cannot have a mindset that laughs at a man for wearing 'Aba-made' shoes.

That's a destructive, ignorant, anti-African mindset that will lead us into the abyss.

THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE WOMEN WE CALL NIGERIAN WOMEN SPEND ON SO-CALLED BRAZILIAN HAIR ALONE EACH YEAR, IS MORE THAN 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

IMAGINE IF THEY DECOLONISED THEIR MINDSET, AND FAVOURED TRADITIONAL PLAITING AND WEAVING HAIR STYLES OVER IMPORTED PERMS, WIGS, AND FAKE HAIR, ......THAT ALONE WOULD GENERATE EMPLOYMENT FOR 3 MILLION LOCAL HAIR STYLISTS MINIMUM, AND SHORE UP THE NAIRA VALUE.

When do we wise up as a people?

It's not about pointing fingers at govt officials. They make up less than 0.1% of the Nigerian population.

We over-estimate their influence and capacity to alter society.

THIS IS ON US!

Just as we started to prefer Nigerian movies and music over foreign, which made those sectors BLOW to world class proportions, we can accomplish similar by preferring NIGERIAN MADE GOODS AND SERVICES to foreign made.

When we do that, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WILL BLOW.

This is cheap blackmail against the masses. Has government taken the lead on that? Imagine if the president and his team, governors of the 36 states and the various teams, national & state house assembly members fully patronize locally made goods both in official capacity and personal level. We will have a strong Naira.

Where did she get these unproven statistics from? While a number of Nigerian women would have loved to leave their marriages but for societal pressure, a good number are happy staying in their marriages despite any challenges.

DaddyRochie1642:
See the man smiling and shining teeth like goat,

Which kind blackmailing be this,

I am seeing up to three children from what I'm seeing, how will a right thinking single man marry a single mother of three children, make that man no gree o.

U sabi wetin the woman give the man that twisted him brain?

Umahi missed it because of his over ambition. Senator Simon Lalong took the right decision.

CockPit:
That is why I would rather be a senator than a minister if I have to make the choice.

It seems true. 99% of these politicians are sinners. I think he should be left to continue the transformation in the ministry of interior despite his shortcomings.

Kobicove:
Her name was May Ellen-Ezekiel (MEE) she was never a TV presenter but a magazine journalist. She was a columnist with Quality magazine then eventually started her own magazine named Classique...you're welcome

She later presented an interactive TV show on friday nights. Not sure of the name of the program but I think its MEE & You.

He didn't even announce 7 days of mourning in the state with flags to fly at half-mast for his late boss.

seunmsg:
Personnel warrants for December salaries were raised yesterday. Everything should have been finalized today. If you have access to GIFMIS, you can go and confirm. Most workers will get their salaries by Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yes government workers have not been paid December salaries. Government has also refused to pay the N35,000 wage award.

Birdbyrde440:
But is it true that government workers have not been paid December salary?

That's a myopic reason. Some men used to be good cook before marriage. Pressure of career advancement and making money in order to take care of the family made them to forget the way to the kitchen. Getting a man that's a good cook has many advantages. When the wife is sick or overstressed or even out of town, the man can handle cooking without much stress. If your husband travels for a period and has to rely on other women to cook for him, your marriage may be threatened.

Odewaleadesoye:
Popular Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, aka Hilda Baci, has said she can’t date or marry a man who knows how to cook.

She said she loves cooking, stressing that she doesn’t want a man who will outshine her in the kitchen.

The former Guinness World Record holder said her love language is a man ordering food for her.


Speaking in a viral podcast video making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), Baci said,

DAILY POST

why can't World Bank tell government to increase the minimum wage? Why is it that World Bank like inflicting pains on Nigerians? World bank asked them to remove fuel subsidy. They did. world Bank told them to devalue Naira. They did. Which kind World Bank be this?

santaclaws:
Wow, that's tragic. May God comfort his family.

Tragic at 80 years in Nigeria?

KnowAll:
There are about 10,000 wards in Nigeria. By having 2 representatives per ward that would give us a 20,000.00 capacity who would now vote who they want to be president electronically. That is by using their phones.

This would not only reduce the billions spent on present day INEC to bear insignificance. But would entrench a free fair election all over d country.

Supported. In addition, rotation of presidency across the 6 geopolitical zones should be enshrined in the constitution. Preference should be given to zones that have not produced president since 1999. It should also be a single term presidency of 5 years.

The trillions of Naira used to organise presidential elections since 1999 should have been used to bridge the infrastructural deficit. Nigerian elections as presently done can never produce the will of the people. So instead of wasting trillions on elections why not allow the foolish wise men to elect someone for us.

But politicians have decimated potentials of millions of Nigerians making difficult for them to realize much from their potentials.

True. But they earn far more than us so there's no need for comparison. It's only when you travel with Nigerian Naira based on Nigerian salary that you can make such comparisons.
