The best govt can do is release cheap or free fuel for us to run generators and pumps water, suspend rents, release foods if any in grain reserve(heard they exist), buy drugs etc.

Even if govt should release money, with no national record of who is and who isn't a citizen, it will only attract hungry immigrants from as far as Somalia and Timbuktu.

That's why I laugh when folks peddle the demonic idea of Nigeria being a wealthy nation.

We live hand to mouth, locally and nationally. Reserve is a textbook concept of western education proponents to us. All the UN push for well spaced accommodation is luxury talk. Food security talk is policy exigency. Education is a status booster and nothing more. Religion is a social gathering and cult system.

We don't take anything serious here in Nigeria. We just get emotional about development and never logical or realistic about it.

thunder will strike you..

So your God ran away only for you to give him the credit abi?..

Any bad thing that happened you guys blamed it on devil and say it's God's will. But any good thing that happened you guy's will say it's God's power and Grace.

Lmao mumu people

I am sorry for u.
You don't provoke into action with blackmail but by faith.
You can force a man to bless you by doubting his ability to be a blessing but that reverse psychology stunt doesn't move God. Only faith does. For it is impossible for man to please God without faith.
Doubt God and blame him all you want, it changes nothing, instead go to him as you papa, repent, accept the reality of his sent son, the saviour - Jesus, and stand a real chance of visitation. God is not a Lagos big man you hail until he drops something or some teenager suffering from peer pressure you can doubt his ability in order to make him prove himself.

Flashback: 'How Can Nigeria Help Britain?'

Flashback to a time when Nigeria was so amazing, Great Britain turned to us for help. This story seems to have almost disappeared from the annals of time. If this story of old glory is retold, maybe a generation will be inspired to wake up the sleeping “Giant of Africa.”

Source: https://www.facebook.com/rdfstrategies/ 22 March 2019 .

That's second word war now. That's a whole different ball game. Our own is that of a man who ate with all ten fingers, refused to reinvest or plants his seed, corrupt, and careless. Same Britain you helped then is far far above you in terms of development. The have good hospitals, testkits, drug supply, water, spaced accommodation, good transportation system, education system. internet to work from home. What do you have today? Worthless Oyel.

The first lady is suffering from the isolation that comes with such privileged position as that of first ladies.
Any attempt at doing copy and paste of policies will backfire spectacularly here. Let's consider out uniqueness and be honest as we make policies.
How many people can successfully eke a living from the homes?
How many?

This is what UN has been shouting with their many programs. Urban planning, spacing, water security, food security, educational standards etc.

These people ruling us a curse to us. I am sorry to say.
Sad enough, the congested but more educated southern Nigeria is more exposed on this one. They depend more on day to day interaction for their meal ticket and are less adapted to the rural lifestyle.

This is why I laugh when folks start saying Nigeria is more developed than some 'chingily' African countries. Development goes beyond a big national budget, or unplanned urbanisation. We just build house anyhow and assume development of building equates to national development. Just Google "COVID-19 testing" and read how truly developed nations are handling the plague.

We live hand-to-mouth here and all those copy and paste policies of work at home or isolation are just too limited in effectiveness for us.

Mods please ignore this phony BBQ entity advertising a business with no known contact or location. He include insult in his signature against those with contrary political views and expects to be respected by others.
Ignore him/her totally.

This is a sad development. They caused havoc saying their lifestyle involves roaming and herding but the moment they say free land and amenities, they agreed to go against their culture and tradition which they have used as excuse in ending many lives.

otipoju:
You dont get the point. They do not need CAN or government to give them any directive to do the right thing.At the end of the day it boils down to greed.

You guys still think this thing is a joke because it has not struck home yet. When the casualties start dying, nobody go tell you to stay inside your house.

793 dead in Italy in one day.

I can see why Oyedepo may be tempted to say what he said.
In our nation and Africa generally, we live hand to mouth, and anything that stops people from going out to get their daily bread is another plague in disquise. If the govt can rally food reserve like some developed nations do them it would go a long way, but telling a cab driver or tomato seller to not feed is another plague.

While I favour the idea of remaining at home over the idea of avoidable movements, I think we are ignoring a key aspect of the plague. That's the testing aspect. Test kit in good quantity and cheap rate is needed to help isolate those infected. This is what development is all about. The robustness of society to respond to shock situations with a good balance and not our mansion development we like to boast about.
UK for example is delivering testkits to people and helping to speedily isolate them.

Kizyte:
Jack Ma, China's richest man has gained so much from doing business with Africa, and he knows when to give back...

God bless you Mr Jack!

We don't have be ungrateful to the point of hate. The man doesn't owe Africa a dime but has given back and instead of applauding a commendable gesture here you are talking about what he has gained from Africa as if he gained it at gun point.
Your politicians you worship that steal you dry, how many have donated from what they stole from you? They wouldn't, and you can't do jack about it so applaud the generosity of Jack Ma and stop being ungrateful.

eduman365:
Well I am not in support of any institution breaking the law on religious grounds, but I think the focus is on churches alone and not mosques... While this is for everyone's safety and health, the government is fond of picking on churches cos of their non-violent approach towards religion and they ignore mosques as if they do not exist.


They've been doing this even in the case of noise pollution. A mosque can wake everyone in a community up at 5 am but a church will be sealed for using loudspeakers....

So true. They block roads paid for all and no one challenges them. They infiltrate govt and build mosques with taxpayers Commonwealth and no one challenges, so what do you expect for Coronavirus or COVID-19 ?

blackmantis:
We pray it doesn't get to that but I think we should all start planning for an extended time with restriction of movement.

If this plague persists, the rural areas are one step ahead. They depend less on interpersonal interactions for the basic survival needs.
A yam farmer with his yam barn, some firewood, a well for water, chewing sticks, black soaps, and his gallon of red oil is more assured of less contact for daily survival.
Can we say that for a city hustler whose reserve can only go few days?
He needs to go out drive Keke, watch and wash people's car, photocopy peoples doc, cook peoples food and serve it to survive. Restriction of movement in urban areas will be harsh on people o.

Directives were given before Friday but the reaction to compliance and noncompliance only started on Sunday. We all know how Nigeria is a onesided country religiously, militarily, educationally and even rule of law-wise.

HigherEd:
Which one is arrested.

Lots of mumus around o. How many imam can they arrest? I understand there is a secret state religion that's above the law in the mind of the Oyedepo haters. Friday will soon come and I will see what they have to say about Imams.

One Friday just passes and another Friday will soon come around and we will see how many people know the names of Imams talk less of criticizing them. I know the criticism is largely a spillover of the anger people have for anything Oyedepo already.

What constituted authority and what directive is OP talking about?

After Dangote has finished building his refinery abi.... The man enjoyed billions in subsidized exchange rates before they crashed the gap. Good for him

HigherEd:
Exactly! That the govt is irresponsible should not mean ppl should die.

We should all fight the good fight of faith. Make operation 10 Christ 2020 complete sharp sharp ... lol.

The best role the church will play is to keep being the church. However the OP idea isn't as radical as some people take it to be.

Govt is suppose to shoulder such kind of responsibility but we all know what govt in this part of the world is like. Buhari should wake up and stop his Aso Rock vacation he calls tenure. Baba must have missed his presidential jet due to travel restrictions.

Ha ha ha ...

The virus isn't well known to even lab men. Just symptoms based test so far.

Evidence is key to allegations like these. What has ur sis got on her tormentor?

Illegal undeed.

A privately owned govt school. I hope all taxpaying Edo people can afford this like people demand from church owned schools.

half the ladies are nakéd. why? No real creativity in nakèdness.

sad but enlightening. corruption must reduce.

outta wedlock preggo caused half of it. the other half probably caused by highs and lows.

Here are the top five best federal universities in Nigeria you should check-out when picking the school of your choice. These universities below are not just by our imagination or the name they have made rather it’s by the report the body governing universities ranking in Nigeria made.

Below is the list of the top five federal universities to attend in Nigeria this 2020 offering quality education to its students.

1. University Of Lagos (UNILAG)
The University of Lagos is the first on our list according to the university ranking body.

The university was established in 1962 and since then they have been able to boast of about 50 thousand students across the country and worldwide. The University of Lagos even without the ranking is noted as the best university in Nigeria. This has led to the school having the tag line “The University of First Choice and Nations Pride”.

The University of Lagos has lots of faculties like Arts, social sciences, business administration, law, sciences, environmental sciences, engineering/technology, school of clinical sciences, school of basic medical sciences, school of dental sciences, pharmacy and education.

2. University of Ilorin (UNILORIN)
The federal government-owned university is located in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria.

It was one of the seven institutions of higher learning established by a decree of the federal military government in 1975 to implement the educational directives of the country’s Third Development plan, which was aimed at providing more opportunities for Nigerians aspiring to acquire university education.

Ahmadu Bello University was established in 1962, as the University of Northern Nigeria. ABU is a federal government research university in Zaria, Kaduna State. Since then the university has grown just from the best university in northern Nigeria to one of the best in Nigeria.

The university runs a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs.

4. Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)
Formerly known as the University of Ife, Obafemi Awolowo University was established in 1962. The university is one of the largest in the country in terms of landmass. It covers a land expanse of 11, 862 hectares.

How does land size add or take away from the quality of a school for God's sake?
Land is just an asset passed on to the schools by the federal govt. It has no impact on quality of knowledge imparted, advancement of body of knowledge or dissemination of knowledge. These are are the core three pillars of university education and I wonder what landmass can do for or against these three pillars. Roadside rankings.

Roadside ranking. What of RABUH ( Rice And Beans University of Hardknocks) ?
That one suppose to be number one now.

The state govt sch are generally higher in fees that Fed schs because they lack fund to deeply subsidize it. Best approach is to go there and pay the fees in. Most fees are nonrefundable so your bros can't withdraw it. Highest is they eat your money.

sinkhole:
1. Nigerian Lecturers rank among the best trained but worst paid globally. From the UK to the US, Australia to China, South Africa to Ghana, Nigeria-born lecturers dominate many fields of study. “Brain drain” has been used appropriately to describe this scenario.
A good percentage of lecturers practicing in Nigeria do get mouth-watering offers to relocate abroad, but they reject such offers and remain at home out of patriotism and service to their fatherland.

See marketing. True but rare.

I suspect all these are in reaction to IPPIS. They bow see need to promote their peculiarities in advance and as a reaction to fraud-checking IPPIS alone. Good ground laying.
