Hmm...

The 1 million was always a knee jerk response to the state of affairs...

Meanwhile, a big part of the problems if this country is the lack of scruples and ethics by people in business and so-called entrepreneurs...

Israel is becoming what they are fighting.

Hmm...

BTW, what's it fighting?

Hopefully, sometime in the future, some blacks from Haiti, Cuba, Guyana, America, etc find the support of some superpower to establish a state for themselves in their 'original' land in Africa. The superpower will do anything to see them migrate because it is 'tired of their drugs and crimes '.

Hopefully they choose fertile areas of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Anambra and Abia and push the current inhabitants to bakassi or somewhere by power of force... bulldozing your homes and taking your lands and waters. The supporting superpower would do anything to ensure the new 'black nation' stands, because if it doesn't stand, the 'balcks' would be coming back with their 'drugs and crimes'.

Hopefully some people in other parts of the world label you terrorists for resisting people coming back to their roots, and who knows, they might also find some old scriptural text to justify your expulsion and killing...

Not necessarily.
The op asked about styling (CSS).
Most of the tools I mentioned are CSS frameworks, not necessarily component based libraries.

Yes, if the topic is how I would write CSS in a react project, then I could write with vanilla CSS, or TailwindCSS, or bootstrap or bulma, etc. So if the discussion is limited to vanilla or TailwindCSS, beginners could go away with the impression that these are the limited possibilities.

My take.

This makes it seem as if Tailwind is the only option with React besides vanilla CSS. Folks that know how can build fantastic UI's with Chakra, material UI, even bootstrap.
Yes, Tailwind is hugely popular and makes sense, but this type of limiting question could give beginners a wrong impression.

all these underage illiterates creating stupid threads on nairaland, elections should come fast please.

Except that these 'underage illiterates' get dignified here...

Hmm...

Is it the punch newspapers or the mods here, or both of them, that could not see the difference between strategize and strategies?

Try and pay attention to these things. There are people here whose understanding of the language would be distorted by errors like this, made by people who should know.

Y'all don't have cats? All cats do this or something similar all the time. I don't see anything really spectacular here.

Hmm... Coming from the same country whose current leader cannot say he unequivocally guarantees a peaceful transition of power in his own country. Yeye.

This is massive. 400 houses in every local govt is huge and would be hugely impactful. Would be unprecedented legacy achievement if seen through. We need to keep up the pressure to ensure this is seen through.

Mace0lane:
And what is the mission of those before him since 1999 ?!

Their mission is to continue along the line of the previous five years between 2010 and 2015 by giving prominence to the rigged and concocted narratives like the one you responded to.

And this thread was made since Friday and has only got three or so comments. Is it because it's not a negative narrative for the current managers of the country?

@deji17
Call the attention of the mods. People need to be correctly informed so they stop gobbling down only depressing narratives.

My take is this govt is not doing enough to project it's modest achievements in the management of the country's economy and finances. They are allowing the sad losers whose hands were removed from the cookie jar to tell their story for them to the masses with cynical, twisted narratives.

Facts are sacred!

I hope somebody can contradict these facts by the OP with other verified facts and not some inanity and tantrums.

The more strange thing is that we can see some hard evidence of where the recent borrowings are going. The 35b usd of the preceding five years was also at a time the price of crude was at an all-time high, and yet we can hardly see any evidence of where the funds have gone.

Again, I haven't noticed that.

However, if it were even there, should Unilag be responsible for cleaning the dirt littered by market woman somewhere away from the school because it's the university of first choice?

Unilag has its boundaries and if you want to do investigative journalism to trend, get into the school, take a few courses on journalism and be professional in your conduct.

In the meantime, be free to blame it and any other thing you see in Lagos on Unilag. Enjoy.

You need to calm down. I have the least interest in "trending", whatever that means to you.
If you can't see your dirty surrounding, that's nobody's fault.

In your logic, if you have a decent house and some some random folks, whether market women or market men, decide to start dumping refuse opposite or adjacent to your property, you would just live with it, with the attendant public image liability and possible health implications for your household, because the chairman of your CDA is not doing his job. Good luck on that!

What better sense dictates, if I respect my visitors and value my own decency, is that I either take measures to stop them by calling the attention of the relevant authorities or I take responsibility for cleaning up the place..

This is even moreso if I am a a respected member of the community, like UNILAG is a respected, reputable institution who might only need to make a few calls to correct the situation, if it places a value on decency and cleanliness around its institution.

Meanwhile, my call is primarily to the relevant authorities, esp the local government concerned. If somebody in UNILAG consider themselves relevant to the situation, then let them do something about it.

omis234:
You may need to edit your title @op. I passed the main gate and in Unilag now but didn't notice this

If you go out anytime soon, as soon as you go out of the gate, please look ahead of you by that private hostel directly opposite the gate.
You can help confirm or debunk this.

if you drive in through (or out towards) Yaba, you might miss it.
In fact, this dump is directly opposite the illegal park where keke napep pick and drop passengers at UNILAG gate.

ThreeBlackBird:
Where is the gate? So people should help you spread false information to achieve what exactly?

I have never seen this mess anywhere at the gate before. If you visited a slum around the school, be sure to put up the exact location.

Spread false information? To achieve what exactly?
If the eyes have become so accustomed to sights that are eyesores, you might not recognize an ugly sight when you see one.

.

Please make this go round on Twitter, WhtasApp etc, until somebody does the needful.

This heap of refuse is a permanent feature at the main front gate of the University of Lagos - a university that prides itself as the foremost "centre of excellence", as you drive in from the St. Finbarrs road axis. (The access road itself is story for another day).

We need to constantly put our leaders on their toes and demand action.

Modified: This is primarily directed at the local government authorities. I believe though that the university could leverage on its goodwill to keep the institution's vicinity as decent as possible.

Sadly though, the telcos possess the warchest to launch a campaign that could end up deposing this man, and they would not have a short supply of willing collaborators. One can only hope the public would be discerning enough to know who's for them.

This minister is the real deal. I hope he lasts.

Ihuoma Chiedozie, Abuja


The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, on Monday, vowed to put an end to what he described as the “unhealthy dependence of regulators on operators” in the telecoms sector.

The minister, who raised the alarm over alleged attempts by “corrupt” individuals to sabotage efforts being made by the ministry, also alleged that the operators “compromise” regulators in the sector.

He vowed that the unhealthy relationship between the regulators and operators would no longer thrive under his leadership.


Pantami spoke through a statement signed by his spokesperson, Uwa Suleiman.

Stressing that he would not allow the exploitation of consumers, the minister insisted that regulators in the telecoms sector must be truly independent and objective.

The statement said, “The hitherto existing relationship between regulators and operators, which more often than not compromises the former, is one that cannot thrive under the current leadership.

“The minister is determined to ensure that the unhealthy dependence of regulators on operators is addressed so that regulators can be very objective.


“No act of corruption or injustice shall be condoned.

“We will neither be intimidated by fifth columnists and any agents of dubious intentions nor blackmailed into submission.

“The minister considers it duty-bound to provide non-discriminatory policy directions for the benefit of every Nigerian, ensure that consumers are protected from exploitation, provide an enabling environment for investors and operators and enhance the independence of all regulatory parastatals under his purview.”


Pantami, in the statement, explained that he wanted to notify the general public that he was not unaware of the “clandestine attempts by some unpatriotic elements at sabotaging the efforts being made by the ministry to deliver on its mandate to Nigerians.”

The minister had, in recent times, issued a number of directives aimed at intervening on critical issues in the telecoms sector.

These include ordering the blocking of unregistered SIM cards and directives to the Nigerian Communications Commission to compel the telcos to reduce the cost of data and stop illegal deductions from subscribers.


The statement said the moves aimed at protecting the consumer, and entrenching discipline and professionalism in the sector had “obviously ruffled some feathers whose sole aim is to discredit Pantami’s mass-friendly policies.”

According to the statement, investigations have revealed plans to launch a “malicious smear campaign” against Pantami by unscrupulous elements.

That's all fine.

Imagine though, that that statement was made by say, el-Rufai or a senator of the other faith saying he'd give first allegiance to the Qur'an before the laws of the country. All the hateful, hate-filled bigots on this platform would have screamed themselves hoarse by now, jumping up and down with all manners of inanities.

Again, it's all fine if anyone wants to put his faith before any other thing as long as that does not infringe on any other individual's right.

strangest:
What the heck is this?

Are You A Muslim?
"I believe that there no god/God but Allah."
"I believe that Muhammad is God's Holy Prophet."
"I believe that Islam is the Only True Religion."
"lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, muhammadun rasūlu-llāh."

This is the problem, you don't want Christians to comment on this story because they won't accept the above... Yet you want to attend a Christian school with Hijab...


So as a Christian, I cannot comment on a story that [b]obviously is about a Christian school [/b]refusing the wearing of hijab... Can I be allowed to attend a Muslim school with a bible? There are many other schools out there though..

Christian school?
This chap here has nill background knowledge about what he passes a comment on. That makes you what?

ISI is a public secondary school and the parents of these children are taxpayers whose taxes are part of the financing of the school... But Christans insist the children must lose a part of their faith to be eligible for what their parents pay for in taxes.

These folks talk about school rules. They are again ignorant of the fact that no law in Nigeria prevents people from a complete practice of their faith so long it doesn't infringe on any other person or group's rights.

They find it convenient to claim Nigeria is secular but they accept Christmas and Easter holidays, never mind Sunday holidays.

Nigeria is not secular, rather it is multi-religious, and no religion must be stiffled by intolerance and congenital hatred from some misguided bunch of islamophobes.

OK

This is a very very good development.

It would have far reaching effects on grassroots development. More serious individuals might now want to show interest in local govt governance.

In fact I think this is one of the issues at the core of restructuring with no noiṣe nor fanfare.

Strangely though, a lot of interest is not being shown to this news on this forum, in spite of it being a watershed development.
One would have thought people here would be excited.

This second term that's even yet to start, eh... One can't help but look forward to great developments like this.

I hope the govt sees this through.
