The north are getting more and more federal infrastructural development despite their lower interest in western Education.


National legislators should sit up, especially those from other regions.

Let the private school teachers not bank on this...

Do the judges need this?

Most, if not all of the people that are voted into those offices are merely there for the money, so it is more like a business to them.
It is unfortunate, especially as Nigeria's electioneering process involves the highest bidder, rather than the brilliant ones.
Encrypted electronic voting might help.

I think the rest of Nigerians will be happy to see the North leave...

Exam malpractice is everywhere. Students no longer study, some now believe that with money, you get good grades.


This will also make the serious ones to stop reading. Just imagine someone who burns mid-night candle just to meet up with is syllables. Only to come to the exam hall and finds out that those who didn't read or dullard s are being helped. This would distract him/her....


The invigilators are to be blamed. They already made deal with the school before the start of the exam.


The only solution is CCTV

WAEC should employ some people good at CCTV monitoring, and it should be 10 persons per school with CCTV in every class used for the exam.

Now invigilators are present, CCTV monitoring agents are present, two soldier men, and 4 external invigilators fro WAEC



With this, it will be very difficult to cheat.

This is a good idea, which I have also analysed.

And included in my model (though in a different format).

Muna4real:
Examination malpractice is becoming worse as the days go by especially and in fact, only in Nigeria. Students no longer read ahead for their exams. What they do, is to "gather " money for the exams. The rate of exam malpractice has risen to the extent that even parents are involved in this shameful act. Let me tell you my story.

I sat for my WAEC exams in 2017. I actually started preparing for my exams in ss2 ,because I knew that my parents will never ever pay for Expo, and so I had to respect myself and do my best. While the exam date was approaching, I discovered that most boys in my class were not coming to school frequently as they were . As the class monitor, I was always marking them absent in the school register. So one day I decided to ask them why they don't come to school as often, and they told me that they had to gather money for Expo . They said that they cannot kill themselves reading everyday when they can just pay to pass. I was half surprised because they were not doing well in class Afterall. I tried to make them drop the idea but it was a fruitless effort.

My principal later appointed a particular teacher to be the school's exam coordinator. This man Ehh, is the state's top run's man. He runs for waec, jamb, neco, post utme, in fact, he is a top runner( so he made us believe). As the exams were approaching, he started collecting money for Expo, and he collected based on the importance of the subject. Example

Maths -5000

English -5000

Chemistry -5000

Physics -5000

Biology 4000

Commerce -3000

Tie and die -1500,and so on.

Students were paying and since I couldn't pay, I was reading. I became as thin as a broom stick. The teacher was even registering people who will not even write the exams. Those ones payed about 60000 . They couldn't write because they were working. I got to know all about this because this teacher will tell us to our faces to bring our loved ones who are willing to pay.

When the exams came, the first subject we wrote was maths. My people, come and see runs. I haven't seen any like it in my entire life. Those who payed were sitting at the back while we were sitting at the front. Sometimes the invigilator will taunt us and laugh at us because we refused to pay. What surprised me more was the amount the invigilator collected. My people, he requested for 350000. My class was large and in fact, another school was joining us, so we were up to 300. Our "Expo teacher " payed the money and added a slaughtered fowl which he asked me to buy (as the prefect of the class). I didn't know that I was buying fowl for an Expo invigilator ohh. He just said that I should buy fowl and I bought.

Through out the days we wrote the exams, the invigilators were payed. The teacher was writing personally for those who couldn't come to the school to write. He would take answer booklets, ask other teachers for the answers to the ones he doesn't know (all teachers were working together), write for them and submit. I wasn't scared because I was confident in what I wrote and in fact, the exams were simple for me . I only had difficulty in physics.

My people when the results were out, I passed ohh but guess who was the best student. The best student of my school 2017/1018 session was a pump attendant at one filling station in sapele who didn't even know the address of my school. He was one of those students my teacher was writing for. Chai. Ahh this life no balance.

When will malpractice stop in Nigeria? When will our youths begin to see that malpractice damages the society. These days, there are half baked graduated everywhere. Why? Why can't they just put enough hard work if they want to pass exams? Why?

This is a decadence in our educational system.
I have discussed a pathway to curtail this malpractice with some people.
My idea is great, but I think I need to be a Minister for education or special adviser to the president on education for it to come to fruition.

There is a way out, and I hope malpractice ends soon to save the future of Nigeria

How can you have de brune, silver, sterling, neymar, Messi and aguero in one team

Silva is leaving

Plus Mbappe too.

Ishilove:
Only very few commercial buses have functional seat belts

Then they should be fined continuously until they fix it.
Nigeria lose many lives due to road traffic accidents. We all need to join hands to reduce it.

He made some sense there for the fire extinguisher. And this should be for those who have an expired one. Getting it from their designated retailer should not cost anything extra, but will be a confirmation that you now have a functional extinguisher.

For the seatbelt, it is punishable by a fine in other countries. Everybody should be using seatbelt for his/her own safety.

Killing of citizens should matter to any leader irrespective of tribe. Killings in Kaduna, Borno, Enugu should be condemned and those involved prosecuted.

Maxymilliano:
Apart from dashing out Okadas and keke marwas during campaign rallies, what has he done or is doing with his unjustifiable allowances that amount to billions of naira to alleviate the suffering of road users in his constituency ?

Road construction is responsibility of the federal, state and local government. His responsibility lies in the legislation and oversight of the federal executives.

ourema:
This is a rare breed politician. Very few will reject the SUV for poor roads in their area

He deserves commendations.

I said this sometime about judges always receiving car gifts from governor's, when they are already cruising one of the latest cars.
If only a single judge should reject such gifts, it will send a clear message to the governor and give hope to the ordinary man seeking for justice.

ojaysam25:
Messi,please think deeply before making this decision,there are no eibar,Mallorca or huesca in the premier league....
Going to man city or inter would be a huge mistake due to the physicality in those league....it is better you stick to barca and claim local champion there.....rather than tarnishing your great image in other league..
If you fail which is 90% likely you might not be regarded as a worthy deputy to ronaldo...it is better to visualize your success in other league rather than fail in reality....a word is enough for the wise...

Then he can move to PSG and carry the French league before moving to MLS.
If and only if he wants to register another league title in a different country.

Man City won't be bad for him, especially as Silva is leaving. But he shouldn't hope much for title, rather to enjoy football.

Supreme145:
Good day folks, I have been a visitor on nairaland for a while now so far I have really learnt a lot from here, I had to register so as to share my worries here because I know that I can get useful contributions. Please ignore my grammatical blunders,I'm not really good at writing.

I graduated from secondary school in 2010 at the age of 18 and 10 years later I seem to be moving around in circles. After secondary school I was given two options of going to the university or doing business, I chose business without thinking twice I needed money so school can wait.

Two of my uncles raised the sum of 150,000 for me after I was done learning a trade with the condition that I will pay back at the end of the year without interest. Then the ports were closed so I would travel to cotonu to buy male jeans and sold in Nigeria in wholesale. Business was moving well, I tripled my capital that same year by the age of 20 I had already counted my first million, I felt on top of the world, I spent on my family helped in paying house rent and my siblings school fees (I'm the first child), then tragedy struck.

After the second year my uncle whom I was staying with and contributed majority of my capital asked for an account of how I had been running the business which I gave him, I had already returned the other uncle's money by then. After the audit my uncle said he's going to add another money to my capital then after four years he would settle me, I refused citing that apprenticeship wasn't our agreement initially, the mother caused a big issue to the extent it had to be settled in the village. I had to leave my uncle's house to my parents since we couldn't reach a compromise, as for his capital over the years I had borrowed him money on several occasions which was already more than what he gave me as my capital, I forgot the balance and left.

Three months after I left my uncle, my goods was intercepted by customs in Benin, my agent which coincidentally happened to be that my uncle put my goods ( and that of others) in a vehicle carrying second hand tyres from Lagos to the east and everything in the vehicle was confiscated. We spent 5months trying to get the goods back spending the remaining savings I had, it was released after six months but most of the goods was either stolen or sold by customs, I got only around 10% of my seized goods back. I was back to square one.

After all my attempts to raise another capital proved abortive I gave up and started doing menial jobs to survive,my mom would always encourage me that I'm still young and would rise again. Two years after nothing tangible was fort coming, I was dead broke and depressed, I started feeling pressure at home when I couldn't bear it I relocated to port Harcourt in search of greener pastures. I slept in parks and slums till I managed to get a security job with a 15k salary then,I worked for some years and discovered that I wasn't making any progress in life,I wasn't saving anything and was still stagnant. I decided to venture into education, even though it wasn't my first choice at least I would have a certificate to be proud of after some years.

I got admission in the federal university in Benue in 2017 at the age of 25 to study statistics/computer science (bsc ed) it wasn't my choice but time was not on my side , most of my mates then had graduated and even working. My year one was hell, I resumed school with just my bag of cloths, no accommodation nor food stuffs, I slept in lecture halls and sometimes went for lectures without bathing,one time I called my dad and he said if I can't bear it I should abandon the school and come back,I later managed to get someone to squat me in the hostel, I got home during nuga break to meet the news that my dad just bought a land,so this man had money to buy land and allowed me to suffer in school ( he mind sha ).

Fast forward 3 years later and I'm stuck in 300 level not knowing what to do with my life,just being in school is not enough for me, I need to earn money because I became independent at a young age and depending on my parents now is serious giving me a cause for concern. I stayed back in school during the lockdown so I could think about my life, after reading some threads on nairaland I decided to go into programming since I had a semi abacus laptop on it's last legs,I got links to free courses on udemy and also enrolled for free courses on Alison and pirple.

Learning programming brought my joy back,I loved the critical thinking involved and realized I hated it before because of the way it was taught by our lecturers,I started with web development (HTML and CSS) and I observed I was grabbing it quit fast. Data was a problem but I managed the mid night subscription each time I manage to get airtime. I was happy once more cause I could code for hours on an empty stomach and I wouldn't care then tragedy struck again.

My system developed a fault, vertical lines appeared on the screen and it started having difficulty in booting,it finally gave up the ghost a few days later. I tried to improvise by using my phone to code but it was a horrible experience and I gave up. back to square one again,I had to go home and I haven't gotten myself ever since.

How do I break free from this poverty since I came back I have looked for job without luck, I haven't earned a dime since this year since I parted ways with my boss whom I learnt interlocking and concrete stamping under,the man was using me like a slave. Motivational speakers would say there's light at the end of the tunnel but mine looks like a maze/roundabout tunnel. I got home and yahoo is the trending stuff in the area even my younger ones has joined, my younger brother nearly picked 7million before the aza was killed in the dying minute (whatever he means by that), I seem to be the only one among my set that's still broke, I can't even remember the last time I got anything for my self, now I wear my younger brothers cloths and they recharge my phone for me,how long will I continue like this?? ..... I don't want to follow the yahoo band wagon, I'm beginning to lose hope.

Pls I need your comments and advice

Education
Good grades
Commitment in any voluntary activity you engage in (including religious activities)
And have a good mentor (This may require loyalty)!

And international boarders are still closed

This minister of state for education is being more active in the news than the minister.
Please, who is the current minister for education?

Why won't they approve it. When China gives loan, it comes with extra money that is not accounted for. For example, the approval of this 500million can come with 50million bribe to be approved. This way, corrupt leaders are lured to continue borrowing from China.

Horerku:
Hi all, i have been a guest on NL for a long time but seeing this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6069700/look-too-young-find-it makes me want to come out and share what has been giving me serious headache.

I will be 28 in a month but i have not been able to hit puberty fully. Can count how many strand of hair on my pp, no armpit hair, no facial changes used to be short then i start growing from like 5.7' to 6.5'. No lies it's a very big disgrace when kids that will see my junior brother and bow their heads expect me to call them egbon.


But I have worked on my self esteem, gave myself confidence by reading inspirational books, learnt boxing, build my body, learnt dancing and i can very well say all this have really boost my confidence, i built my confidence by writing job application to jobs i know im over qualified for and intentionally bully the unlucky hr that will interview me �. I am able to read people and give good advices, as a matter of fact, i (despite my baby face) take adult Sunday School at church and I'm able to take my classes like a piece of cake (With God enabling me btw).

Never dated or toast before not cos im scared of being turned down inface i have a lot of babes that really show me emotions but because I'm scared of how the girl will act towards me when she find out my secret and i am gonna keep it that way because i can't really take heartbreak because of something i can't control. I
already have a good paying Job and finances not my problem so this is my only headache but will i still become normal? Have you overcome something like this? Or do you know how i can correct things?

I have been a guest on NL for more than 7 years. Try be a troll first y'all taught me

I think you first need to be diagnosed correctly before all these 'NL hormonal shots' etc.
Your case is interesting especially for those in genetic medicine. It could be some genetic modifications that may or may not have effect on your fertility status.
If you are living in Nigeria, best advice will be to visit a Teaching hospital or Federal Medical Centre. I hope they can run a gene analysis in their centers.


Please do not take any medication until a definitive diagnosis is made!

International researchers may also have interest in your case.

(I don't know how to contact you outside this forum).

This looks better than many Federal medical centres. This country is not working, for better and faster growth, this fake marriage should be dissolved.

It may be the management. I think most of these missionary hospitals are still managed by Churches, whereas the government hospitals are managed by people in civil service and depend on government revenue to run the hospitals. Things such as 'strikes' are common in government hospital

[quote author= post=93167705]Borromeo Hospital Onitsha [/quote]Is this managed by the Catholics?

Nice pictures!

Is the beauty of their capital a reflection of the aids and extra funds received by the state government?

Let there be peace in Nigeria!

Oldpikin:
I'm 27 and a graduate. But I look so much like I'm still a teenager and it turning me to an introvert. And my voice isn't helping especially when I'm on phone. I wanted to start smoking weed for a thicker voice but someone told me that it doesn't work for everybody.

I was about to start using some stuffs for my beards to grow but I'm scared of the side effects. Do you know how I get a thicker voice in few days? Do you know how I could get beards in few days using organic combinations?

Please help I'll really appreciate it.

Please enjoy the moments now, and if possible marry.
From your 40s, you may be ageing faster than your mates... E.g. grey hairs, bald hair etc.

So enjoy this moment and remember this comment!

You're blessed!

What's happening in university of Lagos?

martineverest:
they should trace it further to Ben Bruce's tenure as DG of nta

You want them to target Silver bird?

Thought there's limited air travels with all the lockdowns.

Where is this one going to or coming from?
