OP has a point

However most of the issues raised are systemic.

Even if you bring a tech wiz with his bright ideas, he'll soon get trapped in the highly political drive for "promotion" that thrives in many of our public universities.

After marking time on the same grade for a few years, our poor revolutionary will realize that the game isn't really all about helping people learn, but about whose good books to be in, and which behinds to kiss...

So he falls in line.

And the story goes on. Sad.

You're on point. The very reason I didn't follow up on my interest in teaching in my university.
I didn't want to get trapped in the mentality I observed among my lecturers.
The students suffer in the battle for position and promotions among lecturers.

The 10yrs his case with FG lasted drained all the money he made under Abacha now he wants to find a way into politics to recoup his financial loses.

Okocha's first match and goal for Nig


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFQ06Wu1y3o

Correction: Okocha's super eagles match was not against Ivory Coast but an earlier match against Algeria in Lagos. Nig 4:1 Alg. Okocha scored Nig's equaliser from a free kick curled over the wall. 03.07.93
Okocha also played for Flying Eagles in Mauritius "93 junior nations cup.
You also missed his one season in Qatari league.

Shameful we celebrate mediocrity..

Nollywood is about fake accent, noise, shouts, scream, vulgarity in words, confused scripts acted by bleaching young men and ladies within a one week duration.

My friend go and sleep joor.
Am not a fan of nollywood but you can't help appreciate their huge economic impact in the continent.
China started by copying western products but today they rule the world of manufacturing and has become the largest economy in the world (U.S is ridding on past glory).
Whether fake or real accent let them grow until a generation that have the confidence of our own accent and complexion arises and takes over.
Up on until early "90s, all our artists were American rapper wanna-bes, Michael Jackson imitators etc.
Then, a generation arose that adapted rap music into local languages and style and completely shove American style aside. Our artists used to dream of performing on the stage where an American artist had performed as a status thing. Then they started performing on same stage together only when the U.S stars were invited and paid heavily to come to Nig.
However, as of today, the American artists are the ones calling our artists for collabos to add value from the huge African market that Nigerian artists have taken over.
Every journey begins with a step, the walk and run will follow as the confidence grows.
Please, Let them be.

All committees GEJ set to probe one or several allegations in his govt how many reports ever came out?
Somebody please tell me who was ever suspended in GEJ's administration, even the indicted Grandpa of Lagos PDP (forgotten his name now), ehen Bode George, who was successful prosecuted by EFCC and served 6months jailed term, was he not cleared later by govt? Soon afterwards EFCC became toothless or hybernated.
In civil service disciplinary actions are not always automatic.
You must always find something to wail about. If actions are swift on suspected offenders una go say Buhari na dictator, he no follow due process. If he follow due process una go catch headache, why the delayed action.
Make una go sleep, waliers are liable to get hypertensive in early ages and stroke might follow before age 40.
Stay alive and healthy, stop wailing.

1. Kanu Nwankwo was Nigeria captain to the Atlanta Olympics winning team in 1996.

2. Nigeria's Super Eagles coach, Lars Lagerback, named Nwankwo Kanu Nigeria captaint to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and Nwankwo Kanu, it was Kanus third World Cup.

http://ngex.com/news/public/newsinfo.php?nid=8918

3. he steeped down as captain 6 june 2011 after quitting the national team

http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/84/africa/2011/06/17/2536066/nwankwo-kanu-calls-it-quits-from-football-long-live-the

Atlanta Olympics team was U-23 and not Super Eagles.
Uche Okechukwu was Super Eagles captain that time after Austin Eguavoen retired.
Okechukwu was drafted to the Olympics team as an over aged player but Kanu retained that captainship.

seniorkachion:
Christian Chu

Christan Chukwu without doubt.

Stephen Keshi captained the longer than Chukwu and also successful than Chukwu.
Chukwu's reign was from the later part of the "70s-81.
After failing to qualify for 1982 World Cup in which he was actually called from retirement in the final match against AlGeria.
Keshi started from 1984 to 1994, equaling Chukwu's Nations Cup success and going to qualify for the first World Cup.
Keshi reigned over generations of players and kept his Captaincy and Charisma.
He also led the exodus of Nigerian Pros abroad and succeeded.
Keshi is the Top gun.

. He was a member of and later captained the Nigerian national team for 16 years from 1994 until 2010.
Sorry my guy, this is not true.
Kanu played his first senior match in 1995 at Wembley stadium against England.
Within this time period (1994-2010)
Many other players captained Super Eagles, Austin Eguavoen, Uche Okechuchwu, Sunday Oliseh, J.J Okocha before Kanu

Please edit that statement.

PapiSmith:
The rate at which we attack women on nairaland is "fearing" me sef.

Yes they are annoying and have too many baggages but we don't have any choice than to deal with them even with their flaws

That's the reason guy need to study them as if they are on a Ph.D levels to come out unscathed. Failure to do so, OYO.

PapiSmith:
Better go back to your husband. Used and dumped toilet roll

You dey find trouble oh, her fans plenty for NL with razor sharp teeth...

mikky4764:
Even Some lecturers sef, say no to CULTISM.

Some Lecturers have been the custodians of campus cults hence it never stops. Every University have cult patron lecturers.

FirstCounsel:
A few youth team keepers looked promising but somehow failed to make the cut later eg: Lemmy Isah; Andrew Aikhuomogbe; Angus Ikeji; Greg Etafia; Bassey Akpan; Dele Aiyenugba, Ambrose Vanzekin; Dosu Joseph (injured) etc

Including Lucky Agbonasevbaefe (First Golden Eaglets goal keeper China "85).
Most of were at the time Rufai, David Ngodigha and Alloy Agu held the SE.
While they were good at the junior level in their height, Most Of them were too short, less than 1.82m (6ft) tall except Lucky Agbons exactly 6ft tall.
Even Lucky Agbons was told by Westerhoff that he was too short in compared to Rufai and Wilfred (about 6.3ft) tall.
Watch YouTube videos, you 'll see all of them in action.

In terms of achievement, longevity and consistency in action for Nigeria, Vincent Enyeama is #1 and unrivalled.
His success has been under appreciated due to the many needless hiccups caused by the ever incompetent NFF.
Peter Rufai is next but he seems to have respect than Enyeama because of the fact that he was last of the generation that was in action in days when our league was pulling crowds and Stationery Stores was Lagos fans darling club.
Dosu Joseph has no place in top 15.
He only kept and won at the Olympics and a few Super Eagles matches later before his accident.
Baruwa has no place here either though he had more matches that Disu, he was inconsistent.
David Ngodigha, late Wilfred Agbonavbare did great at critical points in WC qualifiers.
Agbonavbare only made a mistake in one match in a Wafu Cup in 1984 and Nig lost to Togo 2:4 and the Nig press black mailed him thereafter which many people didn't know what happened but kept rubbishing his name for long.
Alloy Agu had Westerhoff's favour with Christian Chukwu's influence from 1986-92. Being young from Flying Eagles of 1985, they hope he would improve but he never did but Westerhoff ignored other options, as far as defence was good he was kept there till his error reached its peak in Senegal "92 Nations Cup semi-final and Nig lost to Ghana.
At that time Agbonavbare had been the 2nd Best Goal keeper in Spain for 3yrs but they ignored his performances.
Not wanting to risk Agu errors again, Westerhoff brought Wilfred back and kept goal for all the matches in 1994 WC qualifiers and most of the Nations cup qualifying matches.
Rufai had been out of football after Maroc "88 Nations cup, he went to school in Spain and came out with Master's degree.
By 1993, he was returning to action but rusty. After Nig had qualified for the Nations Cup with 2 matches to spare Rufai was recalled to be tested in the inconsequential mstches and his return started from there.
Okala was a collosus mostly to his intimidating height.
His time was not that long in the 70s before Ogedengbe displaced him 1980.
Ogedengbe time was not that long too. His success in the 1980 NC made him.
By 1982, Rufai, Patrick Okala (Emma Okala's younger brother) and the return of Peter Fregene from the cooler displaced Ogedegbe for good. Fregene didn't continue after Libya "82, Pat Okala and Rufai continued to "84 NC.
Only Rufai remained from that time till David Ngodigha and Wilfred (from a successful 1983 Flying Eagle).

Silentscreamer:
faithful men are hard to find these days... if men were faithful, side chicks won't be a course for concern.

Faithful men have suffered in the hands of wives who think it's all about them.
Their denial of attention to their husbands open his attention to other alternatives.
Side chics were not forced or coerced into that role by anybody lots of them took to it for temporary measure but later got hooked to the benefits therein.

x12345678x:
I fink Sahara reporters needs to b careful how they give hints about the identity of wistleblowers...them Don tell d whole world the identity of the man,if anything happens to the wistleblowers sowore should b held responsible.

This is exactly my worry, the tendency to impress has led to overzealous display of stupidity and poor security awareness.
This whole story could have been written in such a way as to conceal the presence, involvement of the whistle blower in the process and how he got knowledge of the money.
Describing his presence in the process of lifting the heavy bags completely revealed his identity and thus has put the patriots life in grave danger.
That poor man will have to leave country asap because NIA director will use the govt security apparatus at his disposal to hunt and eliminate the poor man and only his family can tell that he's missing.
Sahara Reporters have just endangered the whole process from the policy's first major achievement.

Thank you for helping of our educated illiterates here with open answers in the story to their stupid questions.
That's why people fail English language Comprehension in waec, GCE and Jamb. They read a story comprehend nothing only to start commenting and displaying their low intelligence.

Krak:
That's not a reason to be unnecesarilly subservient. Imagine being still subservient even while taking a picture.

No wonder the Arabs and Caucasians found it easy to make us slaves.

Be playing Mr Corky there, wait till you're in the line of fire (50/50 chance of life and death) in a dangerous territory and manage to escape and return to safety. Lets see how you 'll treat those who may played one role or the other in ensuring your safe return.
Ingratitude is a terrible attitude and it 'll catch up with you in no time.
You're haven't started living yet.

austinbrown:
Is that thing egusi soup? Asin melon? Kai these Ghanaians no get single respect

No mind them jare.
Them see saliva precipitating, appetite stimulating Egusi soup for our quisine na im dem go cook that (wetin Bini people dey call "Izobo" i.e sacrifice for the gods) and called it maybe Eguzu soup.

This is copyright abuse and insult to our time honoured, prestigious egusi.
Ghanaians need to apologise for this nonsense

rozayx5:



you can kidnap a real first class monarch that easily in Nigeria


you would have some security to do a shoot out with

while the monarch uses his traditional transport technology to get home

Them go see and hear bullets without gunshots...

Afam4eva:
Which one be first class Oba again? Nothing concern kidnappers with whether you be first or last class. Their own na be say dem don kidnap person for ransom.

All the so-called First class Oba in Yoruba land sha, why kidnappers no go use them do business?

Why kidnappers no dey go kidnap Real First class Obas like Oba of Benin, Oba of Lagos, Ooni of Ife or Alaafin of Oyo etc?
Na there dem go know say fire dey burn tortoise even inside water.

TonyeBarcanista:
Like I asked, what if it was a guy that punches a lady because she used her finger to push him on his forehead? Is that one also justified?

If a girl slaps a guy, feminists will say he should walk away. But if a guy slaps a lady, you irrational and sadistic feminists will cry blue murder, in fact, you will HAIL the lady if she reacts by using an object to hit him. Maka why?

I'm sure you have been coming across the word "bigot" without knowing what it means. Please, help yourself with Google.

Your opinion isn't that of a feminist but that of a sadistic and confused lady that is aligned with the Naija brand of feminism. Defending yourself is GOOD but I hope your father won't cry blue murder when your self defence go haywire?

I'm sure you will land a guy on the street that provokes you a heavy slap, please, don't play victim card when he reacts with greater measure.

Being a female is no licence for irresponsible behavior.

You just dey form with all the grammar here.
Bullies start small and as they succeed they grow bolder and more daring.
As a male during primary and early secondary school days, I had to show to some of my classmates that being a quiet and easy-going boy is not weakness.
On a few occasions even my friends tried to bully me because they thought I couldn't hurt a fly.
And each time, i did the unthinkable. After trying to avoid confrontation by attempting to walking away from tense situation, each time i was pushed around. My strikes always came without a warning afterwards and it was debilitating.
I know where, when and how to throw a punch with such a speed and surprised that the target usually neutralized.

lonelydora:
Emir should abide by all the laws of Islam and stop all these modern way of thinking. He shouldn't serve tow masters at the same time. Well, do I blame him? After all, one yoruba king goes to church every other Sunday holding bible in one hand and a fetish staff in the other hand.

The kind of islamic laws that make northern Nigeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Etc, a disgrace and shame to humanity?
What kind of law do they have in UAE, Malaysia, Singapore and others? Not Islamic?
Backward dey sweet una sha?

zicoraads:
Double standards! If it were to be in the former administration, we know who they would have held. Where is the Minister of Petroleum in all of these?!

No body would have heard about it, they would have covered it up return to do as they were good at sharing national assets without remorse.

guychidile:
prof,you are right but a lot of students detest attaining mathematics classes.,this is the major cause

They detest maths because many maths teachers are very poor in methodology and teaching techniques. They are uncreative in their job therefore boring students off.
Some male maths teachers in my secondary school days always wanted to create the impression that maths was a tough subject for geniuses, they appear haggard, unkept and uncut hair as if it's the maths that made look like that.

IamaNigerianGuy:
This government is useless.

Tracing and recovering stolen loot is doable:

1. Give a 3 week amnesty period to return the money.
2. Close all BDC. All conversion must go through the banking system
3. Change the Nigerian currency with immediate effect
4. Implement death sentence for all looters who have stolen more than $1million
5. Offer 10% to all whistle blowers irrespective of amount

Watch how fast things will change

Changing the currency would have been the best single option as the military used to do whenever they take power but printing new currency in this tough times is too expensive otherwise Buhari would have since done it.
I think Soludo was the last CBN to print new currency but he stole so much that immediately he vacated office PDP sold their Guber ticket for Anambra state to him to the detriment of their other party loyalists and rest is history.

Oshiobaba's hater are running away now...wey una?

QueenSuccubus:




A lot of men juz wanna nibble all kinds of HU_HA they can pick up from the street, bars, parks even in the church but doesn't mean they wanna commit themselves in a serious relationship...and the worse thing a lot of these young men are admiring superstars & follow their footsteps of have baby mamas in every state but they can't afford to pay a child support

Baby Mamas re the result of ambitious girls attempts to use pregnancy to trap a guy they are in love with and desire to keep yet they are not certain the guy 'll willingly take them to the altar.
If a guy didn't consent to having babies with why blame him for failed attempt to trap him.?

TrumporIdie:

Isn't it obvious, the outcome with APC govt

Stop making noise, go and read the judgement of the case. Social media noise doesn't win elections or court cases

sheylarhh:
Wu is d fool between me and u?...Leicester best player on d pitch?... Huth, Simpson and Schmeichel were better dan him ystday...I sure u are one of dose comparing him with Kante...

My friend, i read a British online match analysis today giving huge credit to Ndidi's massive impart on Leicester since he arrived and yesterday's match.
There was a statistical comparison of his contributions in the number of matches he has played so far with Ngolo's full season last year. With those few match this season he has matched some of Ngolo's statistics.
So, our boy enjoy some positive accolades i beg we no dey forbid am.
