Before independence we had British Colony of Nigeria and also British Colony of Cameroon (English speaking Cameroon from Adamawa kingdom in the North to Cities bothering Cross river and Nigerian middle belt )
Due to population, Eastern region and Southern Cameroon Politics got dominated by Ibos in the NCNC (National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon) with Azikwe heading the party
Azikwe had a thing for masking his nepotism with Nationalism.. he pushed only his people for appointment, used all tax for his region making Enugu very developed..
Southern Cameroon Politicians saw Azikwes schemes and voted out ... Soon after independent Niger Delta region leaders begged Gowon for mid West region
Evil lier...... trying to distort history to achieve mischievous goals. You will be disgraced soon.
Or marabouts(occults) are probably doing 'spiritual cleansing' (manipulations) for him under the pretense of repairs for more than 2 months now before he will move in at their set time.......but they have all failed even before they began.
Octopusssy: You think life is stressful? Wait until a Lagos bus conductor stretches his armpit across your face while collecting money.
Us Nigerians in the homeland live in the tropical region of the globe and for this reason, bathing before going to the gym is very important so that you don't traumatise other gym users with the ripe, redolent aroma of your unwashed pits and nether regions.
Excel Fitness and Wellness Gym made a very passionate appeal to their patrons, exhorting them to be sensitive to the olfactory sense and sensibilities of their fellow gym users. Soap and water will not kill ya, folks. We get that that you want to be fit, but please clean up properly. Not everyone has the tolerance for "earthy" body odour.
As seen below.
Hahahah ....very funny and a timely advice as some smellos are really terrible at terrorising innocent citizens with bad odours from their bodies and mouth.
FreeStuffsNG: That's good news if you know about economics and the Afcta There is no point having a strong currency when you are not producing for exports. Nigeria is taking over their markets with cheaper goods than the ones they import from France. The worst hit will be our immediate neighbor's
You are irredeemably f**lish.
Look what bigotry has turned you into....a certified zomb*e.
You support all manner of trash and evil policies just so your tribe&religion remain unlawfully in power but it won't last as the unlawfulness will&surely must be kicked out.
These evils you support will consume only you&your likes.
You keep citing China, why not cite Zimbabwe as an example to support your rubbish theory.
The value of Naira is bad against most currencies of the world currently and it is causing hyperinflation and causing difficulties to businesses, homes and the nation at large.
At this point, Nigeria needs God's divine interventions in everything because wickedness like yours is too much in the land.
Zxcvbnmghtr: It favours Nigeria. It's a good news if you have been doing business with francophone countries you will understand.
You are talking rubbish.
Stop decieving people and yourself because of bigotry.
It is crashing businesses and making a mockery of Nigeria's foreign policy and power. Nigerian businesses and economy are passing through challenging times now.
Maize247: Every Nigerians studying in this Federal University, Alex Ekweme University, Emboyi must write Igbo Language as a GNS course, this is compustry and not elective whether you like it or not regardless of your tribe.
Can Igbos keep silent on this if any Federal University in the SW makes Yoruba language a GNS in Unilag, UI or any other University Yoruba land.
I hope this appointment was made in good faith and not with treachery, mischief and nepotism.
The out going chairman Mr. Felix Anyansiagwu was a trail blazer, achiever, talented& experienced manager....he managed the Eyimba FC so well and his reign came with so much successes. He kept delivering back to back to back trophies(national& intercontinental) with constant turn out of talented football players. He was undoubtably Nigeria's best club side manger for 2 decades and counting.
We will surely miss him&his expertise. We the fans of Eyimba truly appreciate him and we say a very BIG thank you to him and his management team for bringing years of football excellence to Eyimba FC. I am sure the good people of Abia state& Eyimba FC fans will miss him& appreciates him as well and I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
I feel this change of leadership in Eyimba FC by the governor is not right.
However, I hope for the best to come from the new chairman Mr. Kanu Nwankwo(Papillo) who we all know to be a football legend with years of experience at the pinacle of football....I hope Mr. Kanu&his team succeds& does better and takes things to more greater heights at Eyimba FC(by delivery more years of different trophies&talents).
Nice article by O.P.....however I have some objections or better, corrections.
Population should be around 35-43 million people GDP nominal should be around $55 - $95 billion PPP should be around $150-300 billion Actual Landmass should be around 35-42 thousand km square.
Forget about OceanGate’s failed expedition to the Titanic with the imploded Titan. The deep sea has always held an air of mystery and fascination for humans. Its dark and vast expanse teems with unique and enigmatic creatures and remains largely unexplored.
One of the striking features of the deep sea is the immense pressure that exists at its depths. But what causes this extraordinary pressure? In this article, we will delve into the factors contributing to the high pressure found in the deep sea and understand its implications for exploration.
Why the Deep Sea Has so Much Pressure Have you ever wondered why the deep sea is such a challenging place to explore? One of the reasons is the incredibly high pressure found there. To put it simply, imagine a heavy weight pressing down on you from all directions. Well, that’s what it feels like for objects in the deep sea.
Let’s take the example of the Titanic wreck. The pressure at that site is around 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or more than 41,000 kilopascals. That’s a huge amount of pressure!
To put it in perspective, at the surface, where we live, the pressure is only about 14.7 psi. So, you can imagine how much greater the pressure gets as you go deeper into the ocean.
This intense pressure is caused by a couple of things.
First, there’s the weight of all the water above you. The deeper you go, the more water there is above you, and that weight pushes down on everything below. It’s like having a heavy pile of books on top of you, squeezing you from all sides.
Another factor is gravity. We know that everything on Earth is pulled towards the ground because of gravity. In the deep sea, the gravitational force becomes even stronger as you descend further down. This means that the water above gets heavier, and the pressure increases.
This high pressure creates a challenging environment for exploring and studying the deep sea. Imagine trying to build a vehicle or equipment that can withstand such immense pressure. Engineers have to come up with special designs and use strong but light materials like titanium, acrylic, ceramic or steel to protect everything inside. A carbon fiber hull, as used on the OceanGate’s Titan, may however be too weak, as noted by deep sea explorer, James Cameron.
When we talk about the Titanic wreck and the Titan’s implosion, it’s a reminder of the difficulties faced in exploring deep-sea sites. The pressure difference between the surface and the wreck can cause serious damage to structures, as we saw with the implosion of OceanGate’s Titan imploding. That’s why it’s so important to take the pressure into account and build crafts that can handle it.
How About the Animals Down in the Deep Sea?
Why don’t the pressure crush them too?
Well, you might be surprised to know that many animals that live in the deep sea have adapted to survive in high-pressure environments. They have unique features and structures that help them withstand the crushing pressure.
One of the key ways these deep-sea animals cope with the pressure is through their bodies. Unlike humans, their bodies are not filled with air pockets or hollow spaces that can easily collapse under pressure.
Instead, their bodies are more solid and flexible, allowing them to withstand the intense forces exerted by the water.
Some deep-sea creatures, like certain types of fish and invertebrates, have special proteins in their cells that help maintain their structure under high pressure. These proteins work like a protective shield, preventing their bodies from collapsing under the weight of the water.
Additionally, the bodies of many deep-sea animals are built to withstand pressure from all directions. They often have thick, strong skin, shells, or skeletons that provide support and protect their internal organs. These adaptations help distribute the pressure evenly throughout their bodies, reducing the risk of damage.
Another interesting adaptation is the presence of small gas-filled spaces inside their bodies. However, these gas-filled spaces are not like the air pockets in our bodies that would collapse under pressure.
Instead, they contain substances like oils or waxes that are not easily compressible. These substances act as a cushion, preventing the collapse of these spaces and maintaining the overall structure of the animal.
It’s important to note that not all deep-sea creatures can survive at extreme depths with the highest pressures. Each species has its own depth limit, beyond which they would struggle to survive. As we go deeper into the ocean, the pressure becomes too extreme for most organisms to withstand.
Overall, deep-sea animals have evolved remarkable adaptations that allow them to thrive in their unique and challenging environment. By having solid, flexible bodies, specialized proteins, and structures that distribute pressure, they can navigate the depths of the ocean where the pressure is far beyond what we can imagine.
EriMma1: Please guys,. Help me reason this matter. I've had this client for 6 years and last year, I approached them for increment but nothing happened.
This year I threatened to leave and this people promised to do something. When the pay came in last week, na 5k dem add. Like seriously??
Meanwhile, my other clients added up to 20k, and some added 10k the same time I approached all of them last year.
So I wanted to call and ask if it was a mistake but I said let me ask round first and some my colleagues in the same field said they even tried that they have clients of over twenty years that have not added one naira to their pay.
Please, is it worth it especially now that there's serious inflation?

My question is, what does Mr. Bill Gates wants with or from the Nigerian government and people...?
Immediately Tinubu was illegally installed, he has been all over Nigeria moving from one political office and function to another with the help of Alh. Dangote.
What are these people up to..?
Nigerians shine your eyes well....don't just support&cheer blindly withoutasking the right questions.
Bill Gates already has lots of questions from the agendas of his dealings with developing countries especially in Africa while Dangote and these political manipulators are already a challenge here.
JohnBullMySon: Ok let me tell you how this things work in reality. Hardly is there any school in the US is UK that sits to teach these things to young children. There's simply no school that teaches young children sex acts.
These are books that are mostly targeted at late teens but are kept in school libraries where kindergarten may be able to access technically.
Conservatives will find these books in the libraries and begin to spin silly narratives. Their number one weapon is fear mongering, telling us that things are getting destroyed while in reality nothing ever gets destroyed. The guy that told us that he's the only one who can save America is the same person that almost destroyed the Independence of American institutions.
You are daft and sound foolish for trying to defend or commonize evil. If you don't change, your kind will be torn to pieces by the very evil you seek to uphold.
I trust myself to deal ruthlessly with perverted people and systems as you.
lhordspy: Twelve-year-olds are being taught about anal sex in school while nine-year-olds are told to 'masturbate' for homework: The shocking lesson plans used by teachers in UK classrooms
* Many teachers are 'indoctrinating' children with scientifically false claims about biological sex, presenting gender as fluid and furthering the 'trans' narrative that people can be born in the wrong body.
The proponents and perpetrators of these evil sexual reorientation must be treated as public enemies no1 of the world.
A few mad people can not over rule the rest of the sane and moral world.
These evil agendas of the foolish "woke" western societies will destroy them eventually.
We must all rise up for the sake of humanity and righteousness and resist them total in all forms they adopt especially in Africa.
Parents/guardians/adults/religious and cultural leaders and other constituted authorities all over the world must fight these madness to a stop.
These issues must not be treated with levity. Let's all protect our future aggressively because any damage to it now may affect our tomorrow and with God on our side, this battle we must win.
TokunboCarsOnly: *THE SOUTH SOUTH PEOPLE HAS SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT THEY ARE ONE PEOPLE WITH SOUTH EAST/NDIGBO!* *THOUGH VERY LONG, BUT IT'S WORTH READING!*
Rather lengthy but worth it!💪🏼 👇🏼 *AN OPEN LETTER TO MY BRETHREN IN THE "SOUTH-SOUTH"*
By Donald Ekpo, Akwa Ibom State
"For as long as the Old Eastern region remain in disarray and not united, self-determination of the region will remain impossible." ~ An anonymous retired Nigerian Army Chief The word “South-South,” even though it may sound absurd, is a name we have come to accept as a people. We can’t say exactly how we came about to be identified with the name neither can we say exactly when we were given the name, but we just know it is our name. While growing up back in the days, geography taught us about “the North,” “the South,” “The East” and “The West.” For proper definition of locations, we were also told about “The Northwest, NorthEast, Southwest and SouthEast” I can’t remember anything like the “NorthNorth”, “SouthSouth”, “EastEast” or Westwest , but here I am today, writing a letter to my South-South brethren. That is what happens to a people that are not in control of their Cultural Development or the Political and Economic Future. That is what happens to a people that are just there for their numbers, that is what happens to people that are just kept for their services, that is what happens to people that are just custodians of wealth for a supposedly superior people, and finally, that is what happens to peoples that are slaves. Any name is suitable for them, they can only get whatever is given to them even if it is originally theirs. If in doubt, please remind me of the meaning of KUNTA KINTE. I write this letter not because it is frustrating to see how we allowed a defrauded propaganda to position our people as the pawns in the Political Chess called Nigeria, but rather, I write this letter in an effort to request that we free ourselves from these propaganda that has lingered for too long. If our grandfathers and fathers did not ask questions, is there any divine law that says we cannot ask? *We know we all belonged to the old Eastern Region of Nigeria* before the Northern Protectorate took back their power after the gruesome murder of General Aguiyi Ironsi. Just for the records, let me do us a bit of history here; Major General Ironsi as Head of State was cornered and arrested somewhere in western Nigeria on July 29th of 1966, his hands and feet were tied together, then tied to a Land Rover with a little space in between, and driven on a tarred road, face down for several kilometers. The then highest ranking Northern officer, an acting (Unconfirmed) Lieutenant Colonel was chosen to be the next Head of State ahead of serving Brigadiers, Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels of the Southern Nigeria, followed by the dreadful killings of officers and soldiers of Eastern Nigeria including our so called South South soldiers and officers. The genocide that followed is what is recorded as the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 – 1970. As if that was not enough, the Eastern region was broken apart with the sudden creation of the then South Eastern State (today’s Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom), Rivers State (Today’s Rivers State and Bayelsa). It was during that war that propagandas were designed, created and generated to separate us from the old Eastern Region and make the average Igbo man our potential enemy in an effort to reduce their own presumed enemies. In as much as it is a bitter history, but I find it necessary to do you this preamble. I write this letter to remind us that our region, known as the South-South today was a creation of the North for the sake of creating the disunity we face today. And moreso, it was not just for the disunity for them to win the war, but to also take away our resources, our manpower and our economic future. In 2014 when President Jonathan, a son of the so called South-South decided to re-contest the 2015 elections, Sheik Junaid Mohammed in an engagement on behalf the Northern Protectorate, reminded us that the so called South-South was a creation of the North for effective management of the Northern interest in Eastern Nigeria. How bad could this be? Can we imagine that? *So while we are busy reminding ourselves that we are a different people or that the Igbos are wicked and are trying to kill us, the North is joyously taking over and owning 85% of our oil wells* while the West takes over the left overs. And what do we get? Noise! Even the supposedly football legend, Sunday *Okechukwu Oliseh is busy telling us he is not Igbo* as if it is a curse to be Igbo. One wonders if the name *Okechukwu* is of Hausa or Yoruba origin. When you speak Igbo as a language and yet claim you are not Igbo, is that not the saddest thing that can happen to any people of identical culture? Even Major Kaduna Nzeogwu that led the first coup that was said to be an Igbo coup is from Okpanam village in today’s Delta State. Could he have come out to say today like Sunday Oliseh said that he was not Igbo? If the Abakaliki or Nsukka indigene that has a more distant dialect of Igbo is Igbo, *how come the Anioma or Okrika indigene that is easily understood is not Igbo?* How did a people of the same culture get so separated these far? I write these letter to speak to those of us regarded as "minority tribes." How can we be minority when in essences we are known to be about 35 million of the said 180 million of the said Nigerian population? How can we be a minority in our own lands if we were not treated as such, or if we did not accept to be such? If those from the alliance that separated us from the West are said to be about 50 million in population, and our brethren in the East are said to be about 40 million, how can we accept we are a minority? Our compatriots from the alleged minorities of the North are said to be another 30 million, who then is the minority? Having run through these figures, we know who the real minorities are. Be it as it appears, the truth is that our region was broken into two so as to weaken our original strength given that at a combined population strength of 35 million and 40 million people, our economic and entrepreneurial strength put together would be something the alliance will be worried about. So why should we ever think that it is logical to claim we are two different people when in essence, we have always been one and the same people for over 400 years before the arrival of the white man. If what the white man did to us was not bad enough, is it not ridiculous that we allowed a certain minority immigrants to assume control of our economic and political future? I write these letter to ask my brethren in the South-South these pertinent question; Let us assume the very worst situation in this fracas between us and our Igbo brothers, *why are we worried about the Igbos taking over our “natural resources”* (assuming they don’t have theirs), ARE WE PRESENTLY IN CONTROL OF OUR “NATURAL RESOURCES”? *Does it make more sense that our natural resources are being controlled by some strange people from over 700 miles away?* People that kill us at will at a single provocation of their religion? People that even kill us in our land? People that challenge us to the ownership of these our resources? People that show absolute disregard of who we are? People that think it is a privilege for us to be in any position of authority? And finally, people that do not in any way have the kind of entrepreneurial skills that we have? Why would we allow our imaginary quarrel or fights with our brothers translate to the decision of one of the women in King Solomon’s Judgment that insisted that since she couldn’t have the child, the other woman should not. So are we in essence saying it is better for none of us brethren to own our resources simply because we don’t trust our brothers, yet we do nothing about the stranger that has ripped us apart? Are we logically correct in these senseless quarrel? Even while we are senselessly worried about how the Igbos will colonize our people because that is what we were told, and that is what some of these alliance are still trying to tell us; can we sincerely tell ourselves that the Igbos are that evil? Evil enough to leave their Natural resources in Abia, Imo, Anambra and Enugu states to come and take ownership of our resources? How will they do that? How possible will it be for a people that barely kill by the sword compared to our present oppressors? Do we honestly see that as a possibility? How and why did we allow these propaganda to go these far? Is these not what the alliance has used to rule us through the divide and rule scheme? Sheik Jumiad Mohammed said it clearly that our separation was a creation of the North for the effective management of our resources while we keep fighting an imaginary enemy. I write this letter to remind us that we and our Igbo brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers have cultural identities, we uphold the sanctity of life, we do not kill a man like a chicken, we worship the same God, and we have identical looks and reasoning capabilities. Education is a respected virtue to both of us, entrepreneurism is a common love between us. We both respect constituted authorities. Even-though we both have the cultural odds that cannot, and should not be used to castigate an entire people. So how come the Igbo man suddenly became evil shortly before the war if the castigation was not a propaganda tool of the war? How did we accept that our Igbo brothers were evil while we were saints? How are we saints? *Is there any evil that is the monopoly of the Igbos that we are totally clean of?* That we don’t have a single man/woman that does same if positioned in the same situation? How did we allow a distant people determine how we leave our lives? If we think we are different and as such we are treated better than the Igbos; have we noticed that *the fate of the Onitsha Port is the same fate that befell the Ports in Calabar and Port Harcourt?* We from the East are all forced to go to Lagos to pay taxes to those ports. How have we been treated differently by these alliances if we were different from the Igbos? Are we not facing the same fate as our Eastern brethren? How do you think we will fare if we were the only ones to receive these treatment given a circumstance where the Igbos are no more in this contraption called Nigeria? I write this letter to our brethren to remind us that without a unified stand of the entire region, the self-determination process will be a farce. We need each other in all difficulties. *We are the Eastern Region; we are the region of the Lower Niger; we are a common people; we are not different from each other.* Starting from the Hills of Ogoja to the rocky soils of Ebonyi, down to the temperate region of Anambra down to the enclaves of Ishekiri and Isoko, we all look alike. The Akwa Ibom man and the Abia State man are the same people simply divided by boundaries. *The Calabar man and the Arochukwu man have identical ancestral masquerades. The Ikwerre man is just an Igbo man that was separated by the North to act as a different people.* A British woman, camped somewhere in Kaduna decided to add the “R” consonant to the “U” vowel to totally break the identities of the Igbos in today’s Rivers State. *The Ijaws, Kalabaris, Oron, Efik are practically the same people positioned in different locations* possibly during the settlement centuries ago. We are all interrelated in the region and as such must not be divided. We have been used for decades, disregarded at every opportunity, our rights are perceived as privileges if not favors. We do not have control over our future as instructed by the late Ahmadu Bello when he instructed his people not to allow us have control of our future, and should be seen as a conquered territory. Are we a conquered people by some strange people that believe they are born to rule, conquer and kill? These are a people who do not hold as sacrosanct what we revere as one. How can we continue in this Union that was designed to enslave us? How can we allow the lies told by these strangers to pitch us against ourselves? AN ADDENDUM TO MY IGBO BROTHERS I write to you to remind you that you can only fight a lie that was imbedded into the hearts of my brethren by putting yourself in his shoes to know how best to respond. We cannot fight evil with evil. Like we know, they say two wrongs don’t make a right. It is your responsibility to subtly ask those accusing you some logical questions that may prick their hearts to realities. We are all in this mess called Nigeria together. Our Son, Goodluck Jonathan, was treated the same way General Ironsi was treated, they were both rejected. They were both despised. Both of them wanted a united Nigeria that existed beyond tribes and religion, but what did we see? President Goodluck Jonathan was lucky to escape with his life, but the General was not that lucky; He was tied to a Land Rover and driven on the rocky tarred roads between Abeokuta and Ibadan till he died and was shredded to pieces. Based on the Alhaji and Kunle’s phone conversation I believe we all listened to, we know that it could as well have happened to President Jonathan if he was not wise enough to let go of their birthright. But can we continue like this? Look at what they are doing to Nnamdi Kanu? These are the same people that organized 70 lawyers to represent the Boko Haram suspects that have raped, maimed and Killed Nigerians, yet the one they choose to lead us says Nnamdi is too dangerous to be released because he has dual citizenship. Is these the kind of place we will continue to belong to when we are likely going to be having malicious morons of this magnitude leading us? I write to you my brothers to remind you that the Gambaris know for certainty that having broken a greater part of you into other states in the "South-South," it may be difficult to successfully secede knowing what we know today. So it is inappropriate for you to remind my own brothers that with or without us, that you will succeed. We cannot allow the propaganda of these gambaris to keep us apart. We must reject it by all means and efforts. We stand a greater chance to succeed as one region. As the older one of the two broken parts of our region, it is your responsibility to expose the deception that was used to mislead my people. It is you that will tell my people you do not have any intentions to colonize them. We have to collectively put these alliance to shame by consciously keeping our relationship cordial in the region. My dear brethren, I write to request that you take it as a duty to remind us that we are all one people because in truth, WE ARE ONE! THE LOWER NIGER CONGRESS will not succeed if we do not position ourselves for success. We cannot go to a referendum with a divided house. We have to all agreed that we cannot continue in this contraption called a United Nigeria that was not just built on lies and propaganda, but was designed to fail while it enslaves our people. We have been battered, raped, disregarded, maimed and killed at will for the past 50 years. I am talking about the entire Eastern region. While we are being raped and killed, we are busy seeing each other as our enemy, while the real enemies smiles at our folly. We cannot continue like this. We should all take the opportunity presented to us by the UNITED NATION CHARTER ARTICLES ON SELF-DETERMINATION FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. The Lower Niger Congress, has so far made presentations to the US Congress on the plight of our people, made a presentation to the United Nations, and have been able to secure a period by which the referendum will take place here in our region. But will we succeed during the electoral process if we are not united? Is it not time we put our swords into plowshare and see how we can take control of our political, economic future and Cultural development? The Lower Niger Congress having met with traditional and titled leaders in all the corners of the Lower Niger Region believes the project will not be a success *if we do not see ourselves as a united body. We cannot afford to go into a referendum that may be sabotaged by the propagandas of the alliance of the North*. It is our duty to educate ourselves, educate our relatives, and educate our brethren. It is the best duty we can do for the generations unborn of our region. This contraption called Nigeria was never designed to succeed, not with the present fraud of Constitution, not with the present mentality that only a section of the country were meant to rule, and finally, not with the present odds that accompany those that make it to the leadership position. Finally, brethren, I appeal to you all to join hands in actualizing our dream to build a new nation based on principles, agreed morals, agreed terms and absolute regional autonomy to provoke developmental competition. This is what the *LOWER NIGER CONGRESS IS WILLING TO OFFER.*
valentineuwakwe: Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has announced that his administration intends to employ a minimum of 5,000 teachers to address the shortage in primary and secondary schools. In his inaugural speech at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Monday, Otti disclosed his administration’s plan to employ at least 5,000 teachers to address the shortage in primary and secondary schools. He stated that this was part of his administration’s commitment to rebuilding the school system, which would produce quality students that would be relevant to the needs of modern society. The governor also noted that he would work with his team and relevant stakeholders within the next month to design an appropriate framework for the recruitment process. The governor emphasized that young graduates in education, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as those willing to serve in rural communities, would be given priority.
The governor also noted that he would work with his team and relevant stakeholders within the next month to design an appropriate framework for the recruitment process. The governor emphasized that young graduates in education, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as those willing to serve in rural communities, would be given priority. It must also be stated that under our government, teachers shall never be shabbily treated as reportedly had been the custom in the past.
“The paucity of infrastructure in our educational system shall be addressed stridently.”
Meanwhile, Otti has also declared a state of emergency on refuse disposal and waste management in Umuahia and Aba, the commercial nerve centre of the state. He emphasized that a healthy urban environment would be a top priority for his government and has directed the State Environmental Protection Agency to evacuate all refuse heaps within the two cities.
The governor has also announced that his administration will commence the payment of May salaries and pensions to all civil servants and retirees in the next few days.
“There shall be no more distinction between the so-called ‘core’ and ‘non-core’ civil servants in the state.
“From June, all salary and pension obligations of the state would be settled by the 28th of every month.
My commitment during my campaigns to pay off all outstanding salary and pension arrears remains sacrosanct.
“Within the next one week, I shall set up appropriate mechanisms to ensure that all legitimate employees and retirees are identified and paid their due entitlements,” Otti said.
Governor Otti emerged victorious in the March 18 governorship election under the banner of the Labour Party.
Naijaland12: NEWARK, N.J. (Gray News/TMX) – A service dog in New Jersey is now a proud university graduate after receiving his degree alongside his owner.
A video shared by Seton Hall University shows student Grace Mariani, who uses a wheelchair, on stage with her dog Justin during the commencement at the Prudential Center in Newark on Monday.
Seton Hall President Joseph E. Nyre hands a degree to Mariani and presents a rolled-up certificate to Justin.
The dog sniffs the certificate, looks to Mariani, then takes the honorary degree in his mouth as the audience cheers.
Mariani received her Bachelor of Science in Education and graduated magna cum laude. The university said Justin accompanied her to all her classes.
Mariani plans to teach elementary and special education – with Justin at her side.
After all these years, it is now that Mr. Shehu is speaking up. True Buhari was a disaster but Shehu and his like were afraid to speak truth to power, they even tried to stylishly mock others who spoke up.
Buhari was a monumental leadership disaster and Tinubu is part of that disaster too together with their gang of misfits.

You’ll feel as though the world isn’t quite as scary as you thought it was, that just being alive isn’t quite so daunting.
You’ll feel as though the pressure has finally been lifted off of your tired shoulders, and you’ll finally be able to fill your lungs with a breath of fresh air.
And after all of the worries, anxieties, and pain you have endured for months, even years, you will finally feel good.
Actually good. And this feeling of goodness, this feeling of being okay, will catch you by surprise. You will wonder if it is real, or if you are only dreaming.
You’ll wonder if this feeling is fleeting, because after all of the hurt you have been through, this warmth will feel far too good to be true. But it is here to stay.
It is here because you’ve made it over the side of the mountain.
You’ve finally made it through the hardships. You’re bruised and battered, and your heart is aching, but the world is finally light again. You have outrun the darkness and come out on the other side.
And when this relief floods your soul, when this goodness envelops you, you will remember that this is what happiness feels like.
When this morning comes, waking up won’t be so hard. You won’t be so afraid. And showing up won’t be such a challenging feat. You won’t have to fake a smile, or constantly be reminding yourself to put on a brave face.
On this morning, you will feel a sense of fulfillment wash over you, a sense of certainty that this is how life is supposed to be…that this is who you were meant to be. Someone happy, someone wild, someone free. You won’t worry that your best isn’t good enough, or that you aren’t good enough.
You won’t be so concerned about what others think of you, because deep down you’ll know that what’s most important is what you think of you. And from climbing this mountain, you will have learned that your mind had been playing tricks on you, and that you have been loved all along. You will have learned that your anxieties didn’t always reflect the truth.
You will have learned that happiness had always been waiting for you, even when all you could see was darkness. And you will have learned how important it is to choose yourself, and to choose to fight for yourself.
And when this day comes, you’ll feel at home in your body, a body that once felt foreign to you, a body that never felt right.
You’ll feel at peace with the body that was never quite enough for you. And when your body feels like home and when your thoughts feel pure, you’ll finally feel like you have a place in this world.
You’ll admire your differences, rather than critiquing your flaws.
You’ll look back at the mountains you moved and will feel nothing but pride for how far you come, for how many battles you had to fight.
I know you don’t think you will get here, that you will never find happiness. I know you believe that you are the exception…you are the one who will never find out how perfectly beautiful life can be.
I know you believe that you are the one who will always be struggling through a silent battle that can never be won. I know you think that it’s not going to get better for you, and that you will have to fight the rest of your life. That this is it for you.
But you are very wrong. You are so ridiculously wrong.
You will get there. You will find happiness. You will be okay. Because there are so many tomorrows in this world. So many sunrises, and so many new beginnings.
Everything is in constant flux, including you. You will get to a place where you feel like you are exactly where you need to be.
Your past doesn’t need to dictate your future. Just because things have been hard doesn’t mean they will always be hard.
And just because you haven’t been happy in a long time doesn’t mean that you can’t or won’t be happy moving forward. Make space in your life for things to go well.
And remind yourself that it’s okay to want goodness. It’s okay to want life to be easier. You’re not weak for wanting to love your life, or for wanting to love yourself.
You don’t have to be constantly fighting to prove your worth to yourself or to the world. You’re allowed to show up and choose happiness.
You’re allowed to see the light, even if you’ve been living in the dark. You’re allowed to have hope about your future.
I know the world can feel heavy sometimes. I know that at times you will feel worn down by the weight. But take heart in the truth that bad times never last.
They come through, and they shake your words and stir up your tears. They leave you feeling scared and alone in the darkness. But they always, without fail, pass through. The hard times phase in and out like the moon. And you’ll pave your own path through the darkness.
Your story isn’t over. It’s just beginning. You just have to make sure you keep going, and you have to promise not to quit just before the good times begin.
Just before the light at the end of the tunnel comes into view. Because believe it or not, you are in for something wonderful. So hold on tight, and wait for the tides to change. They always do.
1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): This is the measure of your level of comprehension. You need IQ to solve maths, memorize things, and, recall lessons.
2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): This is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others, keep to time, be responsible, be honest, respect boundaries, be humble, genuine, and, considerate.
3. Social Quotient (SQ): This is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends, and, maintain it over a long period of time.
People that have higher EQ, and, SQ tend to go further in life than those with a high IQ, but, low EQ, and, SQ.
Most schools capitalize on improving IQ levels while EQ, and, SQ are played down.
A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ, and, SQ even though he has an average IQ.
Your EQ represents your Character, while your SQ represents your Charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs, especially your EQ, and, SQ.
Now there is a fourth one; a new paradigm:
4. The Adversity Quotient (AQ): The measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life, and, come out of it without losing your mind.

Parents, please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports, and, Arts.
Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ, and, AQ.
Parents, please expose your children to other areas of life than just Academics. They should adore manual labour (never use work as a form of punishment), Sports, and, Arts.
Develop their IQ, as well as their EQ, SQ, and, AQ.
They should become multifaceted human beings able to do things independent of their Parents.
Finally, do not just prepare the road for your children, also prepare your children for the road.
Beautiful intelligent and educative piece. Well done and God bless.
This kind of topic is what Nairaland should aim for instead of bigotry.
gidgiddy: Idara George, better known as Idara Gold, is a young Biafran ethusiast from Akwa Ibom State who celebrated her 20th Birthday by posting pictures of herself wearing Biafra attire on her Facebook wall
For that, she was arrested by DSS in Enugu, Transferred to Abuja, then moved to a military barracks in Niger State where she was kept for 18 months without charge and without access to her Lawyer and family
At one point, her family did know if she was dead or alive. When the outcry grew loud about her detention, the DSS quickly rushed her to Abuja where she was charged for being an IPOB member
She was eventually given bail, and Im pleased to say that Idara Gold has perfected her bail and left court a free woman pending her trial. Various Biafran support groups have begun raising money for her to start life again after almost two years in detention without charge
Thank God for her. She stood firm for belief because you can't intimidate people out of their convictions no matter the manipulations. The courts have done well
A viral video emerged from the social media where an Apostle identified as Kassy Chukwu of Peniel International Church preaching from the Pulpit told his church members that the President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed TINUBU ought to have been poisoned by his wife because he was too old to be the president of Nigeria, SOJ WORLDWIDE reported.
"How wish Jagaban wife poisoned Jagaban we for no dey do all these thing we dey do so, I no say make Im wife poison am o, I no say make she no still poison am. Old man cannot lead us, old man cannot lead us."
He added that if the woman added small poison, Jagaban would not have witnessed the primary election.
If this is true then this so called "pastor" has been possessed by the spirit of wickedness and evil mechanization.
This is evil and I condemn it...he should be disciplined for teaching such wickedness. That you are not a Tinubu's fan does mean you should speak such wickedness towards him.
