This thing must be the lie of the century. 15 Million households and almost no one can say they know anyone who receives.

SamuraiXXX:
I will try not to judge you for this error you made

:
The chap is insisting that that is the way Americans spell "Judge" . . . . even after corrected. . . . So I guess we should "George" him.

enemyofprogress:
both of them are correct. One is British English, while the other one is American English, I chose to use the American English which is my mother tongue.

:

ZombieDredd:
Taaaa

its not proper to use "George" in reference to act of judgement.

What are you telling me?

judge is a doing verb, while George is a noun and name of person.

What are they teaching you people in that america?

To your beliefs, your tent.

That teaching is not unique to the Grail message; indeed many ancient schools of thought especially Eastern religions like Hinduism have taught same for millenia long long long before the Grail Message.

Karma, and the placement of souls, previous lives, next lives, etc.

Nevertheless you must spare a thought for the consideration that all these may just be humanity's attempt to explain away the unexplainable and to justify what appears unjust and unfair.

Because we desperately need a sense of equity, a sense of meaning and a sense of justice.

What if that sense is meaningless to an impersonal universe?

Spare the thought, just spare the thought. Not saying there isnt karma, but just spare the thought that it might be human imagination to help us sleep at night.

BENEAMATA:
dude , stick to your irrational hate of Tinubu and leave history for the scholars , and I'm not saying I'm one to lecture you on history but, bad things don't stay the same if left unattended to, no, they get worse . So what I'm saying is things are getting worse under Tinubu who is trying to stem the rot because it got bad from your clueless Jonathan who, rumour had it made more than one far reaching decision under the influence . Cue armed bandits causing cash crop prices to rise astronomically as Northern farmers fear for their lives - and all because some presidrunk who ruled before any APC president chose to be half - assed about the growing menace of Boko haram. Now the terrorism menace is hydra headed . Worse out grows bad any day .
So now you reel out how good we were having it in the Oga jona era, but then for someone who " feeds " on history, why do I even pretend to be shocked that what you wish on Nigerians is a Millitary coup because of unhibited hatred for one president . A child of history want to take us back to the glorious days of the likes of IBB and the $12 billion unaccounted for gulf War oil windfall or the patriotic Abacha and our looted common wealth still being discovered /returned in batches till today . And then armchair economist wondered why the dollar appreciated from $1 to 75kobo at some point in 1983 to $1 - 22 naira by the time the khaki boys left in 1999 . Again , a rot left to fester, grows worse . Never wish for barrack boys to take this country again like they once did .

:
If you think BAT has not / will not siphon more than that $12 Billion from this country, you are a learner.

UgoFly:
How are we sure this thing really happened? They first said the coup plotters are related to a former Northern Governor. These are all unconfirmed rumors.

Two nephews of a former northern governor are among those arrested.

Kukutente23:
Domestic abuse is actually allowed in the Qur'an
If you check now, the thing has touched close to home that's why Gumi is fuming and revising Islamic law
If not, no how will he ever think of a particular case in which he thinks Islamic law shouldn't hold

The Quran actually recommends wife beating.

Surah 4:34:

"As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) strike them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most High, great (above you all)."

Kukutente23:
Tinubu is luckier than Buhari
Nigeria has had very healthy harvest this year
Oil price though below the budget benchmark is at over 100% above Buhari's at this time of his administration
Nigerians have swallowed the bitter pills of his reforms with a lame whimper
But unfortunately, he's not doing better than Buhari in improving the living condition of Nigerians
I wonder what next year will look like when the excess food in circulation dries up especially in January. Nigerians should brace up for rise in foodstuff prices then
If the tax laws then happen as its being bandied, that will be a double jeopardy
Nigerians should be wary of next year

What is obvious is that BAT is not depending on popularity to win the next election.

You need to work on your written English.

THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID THE CHAOS LOOMING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FOOD STAMP ENDING IN A FEW DAYS.



I CANNOT SUPPORT OR EVEN JUSTIFY EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES, BUT I CERTAINLY CANNOT BE WOKE EITHER.



I RATHER RIIDE OUT TRUMP CRITICALLY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, BECAUSE HE IS ON A CLEAN UP MISSION.

"
One of the greatest fraudsters in living memory is "on a clean up mission."
Interesting.

LordReed:
This is funny so even if he turns into a full-blown fascist, you'll be satisfied to merely be critical as he turns people's lives into a living hell.

One of the greatest fraudsters in living memory is "on a clean up mission."
Interesting.

It took the intervention of the late Chief Emeka Anyaoku, who later became Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, to calm the situation and prevent it from escalating.

:
When did these people see Anyaoku die?

Angelfrost:
All those disrespecting Prof. Soyinka in this thread need their heads checked.

Prof. Soyinka is a national and international icon... Nobel Laurettes are not a dime or penny a dozen.

The man can enter and live comfortably in more than 12 countries across the globe without hassle.



As for his support for Tinubu and APC, that's his complete right as a private citizen...!

Y'all should stop being silly abeg.

Tinubu is his personal friend thats all. Its a little bit of a pity because more was expected from someone of his stature. He even promised to assess the govt after 1 year in office and went silent on that too.

Nevertheless he is indeed a great icon, and will forever be cherished and respected. Also at his age now, people should not expect him to be jumping up and down. 90 years is not beans.

Lanretoye:
as if he is crying for the poor people,you are not poor then how many poor people have you helped?.again real men don’t cry for poor people ,they meet them at the point of their needs.

:
And I suppose you know me and know what I do and do not do.
And I also suppose while helping as much as we can, it is wrong to complain about insensitive government policies.

And it is right to tell those who cant afford rice to eat sand, as you did.
Enjoy. Kwantinu.

Lanretoye:
bark,bark,bark and then sleep,when you wake up,your symptoms persists.
Even in the north that has a good number of people under the poverty line,they have since embraced realities…continue to Dey rant and wail,if you can’t afford rice of 70k,go and chop sand.if you can’t afford fuel of 955,your urine is free.real men look for means,dumb ones look for excuses

May heaven and the souls of millions of poor people who have passed on from this hardship forgive you for this statement.

You don't know what you are saying. Therefore may you be forgiven.

GloriousGbola:
My son is reading architecture at ABUAD. he has been good with arts and craft related stuff from childhood and creating a project like this should be a breeze for him. add to that - i have always gone out of my way to make sure he has access to any materials he may need.

now imagine how his mind would be broken by this miserable excuse for a lecturer

:
Its unimaginable.

Architecture was my first love, and I actually built stuff like that as a private hobby in my youth.

I can imagine anyone destroying even those I did for just fun, I would almost murder them.

Who was the Yoruba chief of Army staff?
There was none

If I didn't write it ut was a mistake and I will correct it

Who was COAS
I remember Ihejirika and Minimah

You are biting glass

You are the one biting glass, there was even a Yoruba Chief of Air Staff. As for Chief of Army Staff, I meant Chief of Defence Staff, sorry.

Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Air Chief Marshal Oluseyi Petinrin
Chief of Naval Staff (CNS)Vice Admiral Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS)Admiral Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim
Chief of Naval Staff (CNS)Vice Admiral Dele Joseph Ezeoba
Chief of Air Staff (CAS)Air Marshal Adesola Nunayon Amosu

LordIsaac:
It's not. A is 93! I am currently working take sure my students cross the 93 threshold.
I am also working towards it in my seminar class. I never did TDB in Nigeria...I have, here.

:
Nothing can change the fact that it is distinctly easier.

Better facilities, better systems, fairer grading etc all combine to make it distinctly easier.

This is common knowledge and also logical.

And the stats also prove it.

aribisala0:
We keep reminding them

Bitter truth

Under a so called Southern president

NO YORUBA GOOD ENOUGH TO HEAD

Customs
immigration
Prisons
Police
Navy
Airforce
MILITARY Intelligence
Civil Defence
DSS
FAAN
NDLEA
INEC
NPA
NNPC


WHEN THE PRESIDENT WAS FROM THE SOUTH
So why would Yoruba support him again in 2015
Don't come and start pretending Tinubu started anything

Yoruba supported Jonathan in 2011 how did ye repay us?

Yoruba have a proverb
Pounded yam of 20years ago e still dey hot e dey burn finger

Ijaws have ALWAYS been slaves of the Fulani and Jonathan proved it

:

You wrote Navy and Air force there and avoid the Army because there was a Yoruba Chief of Army Staff and even a Yoruba Chief of Defence Staff.

Funny enough he was also a Chief of Naval Staff, contrary to what you mentioned.

So even when trying to be clever and pick and choose you are still wrong.

Joker.

GloriousGbola:
You can't really predict how privileged people will react when faced with adversity through. That's why the brits have a stiff upper lip.

And the problem with poverty is that it can fk people's minds up and keep them in a permanent poverty mentality state. The kind of person who insists on managing a dead car that keeps breaking down rather than replace it. The mentality that celebrates saving money over improving productivity and efficiency. A mind that sees money as an object to be hoarded rather than utilizied

Very true and well said.
Poverty of the mind is a bigger cancer and is the real poverty.

PepeXKermit:
they also will never face any hard situation in their lives. change your mindset oga, your current state in life is highly dependent on the mindset you have. that's on period., bye,

Well, it's been a pleasure. Cheers.

GloriousGbola:
While we will all likely face hard or difficult times, it does not mean we should celebrate poverty

Sharing a room meant for 8 people with 24 people of wildly different backgrounds and mentalities only teaches you that you don't want to experience that again. Or going to shiit in the bush. Or the school Gen being down and everyone reading with candle or torch. Or having to fetch water by hand. All these make for great stories but they do not add any value to your life.

Oh don't get me wrong I will be the last person to celebrate poverty.

Nonetheless I know for a fact that it takes a little fire to burnish gold and some trials in life are truly worth it. This is not to say the rich don't have trials, they do.

However in the context of the examples used by the person I was discussing with, I doubt it's apt to use the ultra privileged as examples when talking about the benefits of experience within a public university. I doubt that very very much.

A muscle not used cannot grow and many things in life are learnt by the toughening of skin. There are too many proverbs which testify to the value of certain hardships in teaching valuable life lessons. That shining privileged kid will keep doing well, but mostly because he or she is not likely to ever face a true challenge.

PepeXKermit:
Chairman, suffering is not a virtue.

:

There are people that have not suffered one day in their lives and you are not better than them. They have everything,.. so saying they lack life skills, what exactly is it?

:
Lol. It would not tell unless they are thrown into a hard situation which hardly ever happens in their entire lives oh.
