I was wondering what could have happened. Kudos to you oga Seun

I still find it difficult to accept that these set of people are the ones leading the very important sectors of our country. People from developed countries like making a jab at Nigerians at any given chance and yet, I'm always amazed by the level of intelligence Nigerians young and old display on international fora. Unfortunately, we have people like this our IG as the chief of our police. He's not the only one o just that the wind has blown and we've seen the anus of the fowl at his own side.

It's not all-expenses paid na

Watch how ur dirty and adulterous kinsmen like Tinubu will sell their soul to the North in 2019.

In their foolishness, Nigeria being on fire will not affect them. Perhaps they're blinded by their bellies to see that they are calling for their own destruction. I still say it yet again, Nigeria will overcome its major challenges but these terrible leaders and kinsmen will suffer for it even if they postpone it for their coming generations.

Josh44s:
You should be ashamed of yourself and your adulterous kinsmen who have no human heart and shame. Woe unto you all. I usually don’t stereotype but with the way Yoruuubar Muslims are behaving. It’s inhuman. I am a southerner and if a kinsman from my hood is faulty in government we castigate him or her immediately. Yoruuubar case is the reverse. Shameless people. People are being slaughtered everywhere everyday and still you people are still campaigning for a blood sucking demon. You shoups hide yourself in shame.

I thought you were going to say that if a kinsman of yours is a thief and deserve to be stoned, then your whole tribe is full of thieves and yourself included ought to be stoned. As for rest of your comments, you're only acting like the proverbial angry goat stamping his foot on the ground, he cannot eat up his master. If you're really angry with the Yoruba people, ensure you lead all your tribesmen not just to leave the land of the Yorubas but also to neglect anything that has a Yoruba scent in it. You didn't tell us (or your tribesmen) how to come out of Nigeria's problem, you're instead grunting, stamping your feet and screaming 'Yoruba' all over the place.
You mentioned castigating a betraying kinsman and you're even ironic about it. Perhaps you should find out the popularity of people like Obasanjo and Tinubu across Yoruba land and hear for yourself.

CaptJeffry:
Foolish man.
To remember that I grew up looking up to this fool as a role model especially in the area of charity makes me more mad.

You can still look up to him in the area of charity. Other areas especially politics, ignore. I'm not sure if indeed politics brings out the worst in our so-called heroes.

Why are some people so stupid What has Yourubas got to do with this? Are there no Igbo men who voted the dullard? We as a country have more problem than Buhari at the moment. With most of these comments coming from the so-called modern youths, it means not only Buhari is stupid but a lot of the Nigerian population. Why do you guys just have to make everything religious or tribalistic? Ayam not understanding

It is not even about the Yorubas voting for Buhari this time. It is about Nigerians sending out a cancerous and incompetent government. Several people have been saying it on this forum if someone can allow an incompetent next of kin to ruin his father's business instead of giving the chance to a promising outsider. Almost every Nigerians saw in Buhari the chance to turn around the country and since Buhari and his cohorts betrayed that trust, should a tribe or category of people be held responsible? It's not a matter of family membership or tribal kinsman, it is about getting a competent person to rule the country. All those blaming Buhari's former supporters should keep quiet. We supported Jonathan massively too yet he failed.

Josh44s:
It’s sha never be well with them. Pigs, dirty, stinky adulterous bastards. Nothing good about them. They are the real problem we have in this country.

I think at this stage, education should be either banned totally or strictly monitored because as it stands, the education we get nowadays is used for no other purpose but to mentally enslave ourselves the more. What is really wrong with the black man that affliction seems so enjoyable to him?
We have allowed tribalism and bigotry to rot the country to this level and while the world is advancing, our so called educated youths are only getting advanced in tribal hatred that only damn them the more. We had a reputed president who is free handed in corruption and you people think it is tribal wisdom to vote the same people in despite widespread incompetence. Does that make sense at all? With the newer set of Nigerians we now have, I doubt if this country can ever advance.
All the histories books we've read have not open our minds to the realities of the world, rather they've widened our bigotry, hatred and enmity. Nigeria is indeed at a crossroad and everyone of us should know that the fall of one (especially the southerners) is the fall of all.
Later on, it is this same type of this poster that will be forming civilization. Meanwhile, you just showed us that you're clothed in barbarism with your post.

I hope this won't be the only time you'll hear about these guys. Where are those companies looking for brand ambassadors? They won't see intellectuals like these ones o.
Also, the hundreds of first class graduands we celebrate every year in Nigeria, where have they being or is this going to be the only good thing about Nigerian universities for years to come?

It's surprising that up till now, English language is still evolving grammatically. And this poses a serious problem for second language users like Nigerians.

The universe is no under obligation to make sense to you -Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Several happenings in our world today draw us back to where we have to ask the question ‘why?’. Sometimes we think we have an answer because of our religious beliefs or scientific exposure. Yet, a daunting challenge will come along the way and we will be made again to ask the question ‘why?’. Every religion tries to answer the question in the best way they can but the mind still becomes more confused as several happenings occur. What is the purpose of the universe? What is our essence in life? Why are we in the midst of dilemmas all around us: religion, culture, loyalty to our tribes and gender, our social standing. Why?
I have often heard cases of people who committed suicide because they could not get an answer to this question. Some began a search for significance and ended up frustrated because they could not find any purpose for living. Some were lucky; they were born and bred into an environment where there are exciting things to follow or rigid societal principles from which they cannot derail. The answers given by science causes more dilemma than necessary. The big bang theory makes humans feel we are alone and abandoned in this world. Even though it has the benefit of making us feel responsible for the history of mankind, it has failed to answer questions that comes from the depth of the heart. Though we try as much as possible to strike out the effect of the supernatural, explorations and spectacular views around the world tells us there is more than the eyes can see.

Religion comes back to the fore in telling us about those which our eyes cannot see. Yet, there is disagreement among religions as to which is accurate and which is not. Many of the world’s religions came to a conclusion of asking us to seek the truth. Truthfully, this is a simple message we get from our hearts, the search for the truth. Yet, a man named Jesus said ‘I am the way the truth and the life’. For those who believe in Jesus, there is an internal conviction that the truth has been found. Something similar to what adherents of other religions hold on to in their belief. Christianity has attempted to answer many questions troubling humans today but as unstable as the mind of humans is, questions are being asked again. This time however, as a response to dissatisfaction about what the Bible says.
In all these, our lives as it concerns this earth ends immediately we stop breathing. All our questions will cease to be important. The doctrines we have hold on to, the discoveries we made, the destruction we meted to other men because of our faith; all will cease to be of importance. Then we will face consequences.

Again the religions are not united as to the consequences we would face but there are consequences to face. Does this make the universe sensible? No. It in fact, makes it more complex. The evils around cannot all be accounted for. If we consider people who suffered, we will see instances of those who did not deserve to have suffer and those who had no pain on earth while they walked on others’ blood on the road to power. This does not make sense. Even sometimes, we look at the doctrine of Christianity’s cause and effect and we say ‘this does not make sense’.
At the end, perhaps the universe is designed as it is, so that it will not make any sense to us. Humans have changed their style of living and alter the history of life and yet, among humans, the universe makes no sense. Perhaps we should forget whether the world makes sense or it does not. But it is important that our actions count while we are here. And because the universe makes no sense, we sometimes forget we might leave sooner than we thought. Let everyone therefore alter history for good in the little way they can. For in this alone, can we find ‘meaning’ or ‘sense’ in the universe and the life of man.

I have nothing to do with the information so why should I be bothered with how much someone built his house? If he says he built it for 20 naira, so be it. If he says it's 1 billion naira so be it. Why should I be summoning vocabularies over someone's house? It's his house, let him be.

In assessing these so called private schools, the first question to ask should be "what's the purpose of opening a school?". It should be clear to everyone that running a school is not just an enterprise any Dike, Tade or Haruna will venture into. But in Nigeria, this is just another instance of a society getting capsized. The first school where I taught, the proprietor was a tailor who used to make sport wears for schools before he noticed that running a school might be profitable. I doubt if he had any postsecondary school education.
Private schools in Nigeria are not being regulated. And if there is any regulation at all, it is for the big schools who runs curricular outside the accepted ones in the country. This is a country where students run about 3 different curricular depending on your social standing yet, we have a voluminous policy guidelines which has never been followed.
Talk about teachers, they suffer the most in this enterprise. No wonder many high school 'graduates' who can't pass ordinary WAEC are teaching children since the salaries rarely exceed 20k in favorable environment while some pay as low as 5k. The rot in Nigeria's private school system is really unimaginable. But who will bell the cat? Who will monitor the schools? who will ensure the beautifully designed policies are being followed? This is our failure as a nation.

When will they start hosting those achieving great feats in their different fields of development in and outside Nigeria? The young man breaking grounds in foreign countries and those who have been given warm reception by Obama. When will they start hosting people like the lady who recently broke a record of 28 years in OAU? With lots and loads of distinctions in medical field. Yet, they will tell us we are lazy and useless and the overall graduating student was awarded 10,000 while the enterprising ones rarely get anyone to recognize them. Can this country ever get it right?

What's really the genesis of this act? How do you tell someone you're celebrating them by pouring water, flour etc on them because it's their birthday? Is this another civilized barbarism of Africans or a worldwide phenomenon? A guy celebrating his birthday had water from the drainage poured on him. Is that how to tell a person "I celebrate with you, I'm happy for you"?

There used to be a time when the notion that Nigerians loved faaji and life so much that the thoughts of suicide bombing was alien to us. What has changed so soon about the happiest people on earth?

Go to our streets,twitter,facebook and nairaland and see the angry faces and voices of a once happy people.

RIP to our dead.

I really feel like crying reading this... so true

I think this couple should just forget everything that has happened in the past and focus more on ensuring a secured future especially for the woman and her kids. The ugliness of the past cannot be taken away now. And except the man is still not remorseful, the woman should forgive him and focus on living a better life. For those saying the man is a gold-digger, looking for gain etc, you might be right and the woman may go ahead without the man but what if things eventually turn around for the man again? The woman will still have to come back to Nigeria and she will be the one to lose because the man obviously would go ahead to remarry. In life, innocent people sometimes have to make compromises.

As much as I got excited reading this news, a reminder from some comments made me realise that truly, America is doing all in the interests of her people and nothing else. And if I'm to look at it that way, I can conclude that America has foreseen a Muslim dominated Nigeria as a threat to her interest and therefore everything must be done to ensure the safety and domination of Christianity. It seems Christianity after all, is more open to neocolonialism than Islam.
Howbeit, President Trump is indeed a president who will always stand for his people.

Perfectionist don't treat people like trash. They simply love to stick to rules. They love doing things the way it should be done, unlike your average Nigeria

Perhaps it's not a trashy treatment. But what would you call it if someone about to offer you something calls you "come, I know that all you've ever done in your life is shit"?
The thing is, it's different to be disciplined, strict and blunt. It's another thing to intimidate and abuse verbally just to show you're strict and disciplined. Most perfectionists fall into the second category though it's usually unintentional.

What about Paul Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple? Though some of the points raised were correct. He was shown the back door at Apple because of his perfectionist attitude where he treated almost everyone like trash. He was such a perfectionist that he couldn't find suitable furniture for one of his mansions. But he was creative and wealthy and if not for him, Apple wouldn't be where it is today.

Buhari will be retired to Daura in 2019
The revolution will be televised

I don't think retiring PMB in 2019 is a revolution same as sending GEJ out of Aso rock in 2015 was not a revolution. We need to start singing another song other than APC, PDP and the recycling of the same people killing our beloved country. Both parties are filled with cankerworms.

yeyerolling:
Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future" lord lugard

I must indeed get the full copy of the book written by Lord Lugard. But seriously, the problem of the black man is something I really find confusing. Che Guavara got highly disappointed with the Congolese who called revolutionaries with no sense of dedication and commitment at all. These were soldiers sent abroad to get trained and coming, the forgot what they were trained for and started demanding vacation with their families. For what I perceived so far about the black man even in America, they seem to have the qualities as the Africans. What really is black man's problem? Why are so religiously superstitious, divided, ceremonial and complacent?

The war against exam malpractices can only be fought successfully when everyone is involved. A public forum like Nairaland should clamp down on any post encouraging examination malpractices. This scourge is becoming another deadly cancer we may battle for long. Imagine the kind of students we would produce under this scourge!
