educational system in this country is declining daily... how does the word " PERPLEXED " come into this story for God's sake?

" You forgot to add the greatest commandment of all

" Thou shalt eat belle full before entering the market to buy anything "

Tailoring.

Ezyp:
But these newspapers have their online platform. One can read daily news from there. The paper won't be necessary.

it depends on what exactly you're looking for

Afam4eva:
If you want to be a good writer, you either read books or go to school. Btw, those newspapers are also online.

the online content is optimized for devices, there's less content in order to improve speed. lots of in-depth articles aren't online. the online version only has the advantage of being real-time.

aside books, newspapers are most important. I learnt nothing from my English teachers.

konfused:
Some newspapers carry a lot of grammatical blunders

like? any example?

Newspapers would improve your grammar. Bloggers don't take writing seriously.

If you want to be a good writer, read newspapers esp Guardian and Thisday.

Smartphones are powerful computers that we carry in our pocket. Nowadays, it supports different type of tools for every purpose. You can perform different tasks on our smartphones like summoning a cab to go to work, ordering food, reading news and staying in touch with our friends. At the same time, your smartphones have killed some certain gadgets. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares gadgets your smartphone has killed.

Wrist watch

Analogue watch has now become a fashion accessory. You will meet people who wear a watch, but still, they check the time on their smartphone. Nowadays, smartphones are used to do lots of things and checking the time is one of them. So, smartphones are also replacing the analogue watch.

GPS navigation systems

If you struggle to find directions, you can easily use your phone to locate wherever you are going. This is because smartphones have GPS facilities. You do not need GPS navigation systems.

Radio

Those days are gone when people used to buy a box to listen to the radio. Since there is now a radio feature on their smartphone, the good old radio is now irrelevant.

Digital Cameras

Carrying a pocket-sized digital camera was previously considered as a cool thing. However, smartphones have replaced the digital cameras because your smartphone camera offers even better shots these cameras.

Alarm clock

The Alarm clock is completely dead because smartphones have definitely replaced them. You can simply set alarm on your phone.

MP3 Player

MP3 players were popular for playing music. Today, smartphones offer massive internal and external storage which is enough space for storing unlimited music. Hence, you do not need the MP3 Player.

I disagree.
wristwatch? like really? people who wear watches know that they are irreplaceable. some people wear theirs to sleep, when unsure of the time, they reflexively look at their wrist. Would a nurse or a soldier replace their watches with their phones? or is it in every environment it is appropriate to bring out your phones.

Digital cameras - You have no idea whatsoever on what digital cameras are, so I'll move on quickly. Smartphones saved us the fees for scanning documents, so you can easily scan on the go.

Alarm clock ? yes. now antiquated.

mp3 players, yes too. Now irrelevant .

GPS navigational systems? like really? smartphone replacing GPS? Do you people even go to school sef? this is wrong in its entirety.

Finally Radio, my favorite. Here, you're wrong. A radio is a very very important accessory that every person must have, especially an analog radio with at least 12-Bands. Someday you'd be stuck someplace and you seem cut off from the world, or there could be an emergency and radio silence enforced, but with a SW radio , you can hear news and information from anywhere in the world. Your smartphone cannot do that without data. Our father's didn't have internet, that was their internet.

it's your money , spend it as you wish, but make sure you pay tax, for not paying tax is even a bigger sin before god and man.

my tax is deducted before I get alert

diezani:
good point.
but I'll point out some things

hunger will never cease, there will always be school fees or one family commitment. helping your family, is an obligation that you're expected to fulfill . helping a stranger is not compulsory, it carries more reward, especially when it is anonymous.
for the purpose of this discussion, let's use the bible , since we're talking about giving to church
remember. charity begins at home is not in the bible.
the bible tells us to give to strangers and beggars, Jesus said we should do good to them , including unbelievers. because if you do good to Christians or family alone, what difference does it make? after all unbelievers do good to their fellows , so we must do more than them, stand out.

as for seed sowing, God repeatedly asks us to honour him with our substance, physical substance. and even dares us that let's bring our substance ( tithe and offering) and see if he will not open the storehouse of blessings to us...
the problem with Nigerians be say we too dey form smart for God matter, we give and start monitoring our offering. God that asked us to give substance , is he here physically to consume the substance? A quick question, when you pay tax, can you go to FIRS and ask dem how the money was remitted and spent? even in the UK where there's accountability, once your tax is deducted, you can only complain that your tax is being used for war or for refugees or as social security for less privileged, na there your talk reach. you can't do anything about it.
but here we come see God finish, because we assume we are giving the money to the pastor. If you believe you have given your offering to God, forget about it, even if the pastor uses it to buy beer in your front, DAT one no concern you, God go bless you sharply, na him and d pastor go come reason. Abi does God redistribute the offering money to bless us? Whether you do offering or not, he go still bless you, but he's just looking for that sacrifice along with righteousness.

so in my own case, I dey sow seed , I dey do offering and tithe and give out , and God blesses me accordingly. Sometimes I can walk into any church I like and pay my tithe, na God I give , no be pastor. God dey see everything. For olden days , no be burn dem dey burn sacrifice? Na only smell dey reach God yet e dey bless people anyhow.

God bless you real good.

Yes, one way or the other it does. I am a living witness. And thats why I cannot stop giving to them.

exactly. so the law of giving exists. it is a mystery and a cardinal point of all old and new age religions and societies. If you want to receive you must give. especially when you do not accept recompense or any physical gratification, that your blessing would force its way to get to you. Ask around, there is not stingy 'clean' rich man. if you see a rich man that's stingy, know that he got his wealth through unholy methods.

so if this giving law cannot be broken in human-human relationships, how much more in a situation when you give with the intention that you're giving God?
God bless you .

Charity begins at home. I am very sure that there are people from your extended family who can not pay their school fees or could hardly feed. You can start from there

In my own opinion, Giving to spread the gospel is good but there is more blessing saving a life than giving to already rich churches. I don't think God will take your offering when you refuse to give food to someone who is dying of starvation. The greatest commandment is LOVE

That's the question I'm asking you... assuming you have 20k , can you give 10k to those Almajiri children or to those beggars on the roadside?

OK I have a quick question.. does giving money to the poor multiply your money?

Governor Obiano lied.

No true Igbo son ever kill innocent people in a worship centre in a million years.

It has never happened and will never happen.

If truly the incidence is caused by two Igbo businessmen, then the shooters are definitely not Igbos.

Arrrrgh!!! My brain! Wtf did I just read? Your last paragraph has set a new world record for dumbness

nothing person no go see for this Nigeria. these secessionists, land grabbers, dirty pigs, mannerless ipob youths are now claiming that Jesus was unemployed like KANU .. I hate to burst your bubble

Jesus was a Carpenter

“on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him” (Mark 6:2-3).


all the ipob youth up there claiming Jesus wasn't a Carpenter are proof that they do not read the Bible and yet they claim Catholicism, Christianity, Jew , etc

bunch of dullards and drug peddlers. Thanks for giving Nigeria a bad name. everyday you people claim Yoruba are ritualists, really who started ritual killings in this country?? Clifford Orji, that was selling human parts under bridge, was he a Yoruba man, Maria pure water that used his wife for money rituals, was he a Yoruba man, the era when people started releasing audio cassettes of how they used their mothers for rituals and had now repented , were they Yoruba's? Was it in Ogun that bakassi boys had a field day killing ritualists in Onitsha main market? I don't blame you guys, many of you were still suckling then.
I don't have any issue with the Igbo, I'm only irritated by kanus followers who do not know history , nor today's news nor see the future.

In most funeral services in Nigeria, it is not uncommon that before the casket is opened, the person has to knock first... why is this so?

isnt that Iris heterochromia that you people are playing with!! ? I don't think it is something to be celebrated

the search for northern crude in a high-risk area. what is at stake? staff that are sometimes reluctant to go offshore are drafted readily to the warfront in search of oil, and we talk of reducing crude oil dependence from the other side of our mouth.

BH now exchange their battle hardened commanders for teen girls, after being technically defeated they have launched a stunning counter attack, coincidentally, buhari is 'recuperating fast', elections are drawing close, social media is about to be censored.. what exactly is at stake.?
neither APC nor PDP control BH. BH have their own interests.

Boko haram is a strong political party

EDIT
After watching the video, the lecturer says "he has seen the route taken to get to their present location, says the use of excessive force will not work, the government should give them their demands"
buhari caused this nonsense. you do not negotiate with terrorists. never. negotiating for chibok girls was our undoing. if boko haram can ambush a military escorted convoy, what stops them from walking into any borno or yobe community and carting off a sizeable number of girls and vulnerable people? girls are girls, whether from chibok, mubi, konduga, isolo, or anywhere, none are more important than the other. once you negotiate , you will always negotiate. swapping for BH commanders .
Let us act like Israel, they don't negotiate with terrorists. if you capture BH soldiers, kill them. if they kidnap yours, attempt rescue. if unsuccessful, carry out reprisal attacks on their strongholds. the war has been on, we know the rules of engagement. all is fair in love and war

ANNOY:
U must be a big fool. U don't know me and so u can't decide am lazy.

you are lazy

This is not about the Nigerian senator Dino Melaye, this is about our nation Nigeria, about the working class, to whom power truly belongs.
There is a provision in the Constitution and in the INEC Electoral Act that permits and stipulates guidelines for the recall of a legislator. Pay attention now – ” If a constituency wants their lawmaker back, it is a fair thing to ask, either because of a grievance or for his security and well-being, it is acceptable and permitted by the extant laws of Nigeria”. The above is a statement of fact.
There shouldn’t be hard feelings, anger, drama, accusations, regrets or desperate moves by all parties involved. The loss is two-sided, the Lawmaker stops representing, and the people lose a good man probably. The mantra should be “…in total submission to the will of the masses!”
The rational problems that would arise, would be around monies spent on campaign, incentives, debts, cost of nomination tickets and other expenses incurred in the process of electioneering. This also, would depend on, for how long the Lawmaker was in office before his people had bigger plans for him, if he had been there for a while, he would have recouped his money. I am not saying that it is an investment per se, but it seems so , especially in Nigeria. Political office has become a sure investment with returns guaranteed for life in certain cases, however that’s discourse for another day. Actually, it is not our problem if there are debts or not, the truth must be said, a very large majority of Nigerians are unaligned, they do not carry the cards of political parties, they only vote for the candidate who they believe is most likely to change their fortunes. Therefore, it is irritating, very irritating that party affairs and squabbles affect the business of governance and discharge of duties as much as they do presently. The cost of a nomination ticket shouldn’t be passed to us or taken from allocations or our taxes. It is a risk that should be undertaken solely by the candidates.

So, even if Sen. Dino Melaye was not vain, had no corruption allegations hanging over him, neither flashy nor self-conceited, never brought disgrace to his people by fighting openly and was not an uncouth reprobate, the people of Kogi West still have the right to recall him. Even if he was extremely nice and homely, had sunk boreholes in every park and market, taught Sunday school, singlehandedly repaired Lokoja – Okene expressway, his people still retain the right to say “Our son, Well done, you have really tried, come home and rest”. Your being there is predicated upon their belief in your suitability for the position you occupy. It is their fundamental right as citizens, the right to choose who should represent them, your tenure depends on their mood – that was the original plan.
If my people wanted me back home, I would actually go back, and reason with the various groups to understand what the decision is hinged upon and thank them if it is irreversible, thank them for the opportunity to serve. However, shopping for a court order suppressing their wish is a slap on their faces, and a slap on the face of every reasonable Nigerian. It is an insult to our sensibilities and it is wise to be in a cautious mood.

Though we agree that Gov. Yahaya Bello played a huge role in sensitizing his people, spurring them to take action, I dare say he didn’t sign those signatures singlehandedly. You can force a horse to the river, but you can’t force it to drink water – we should at least agree that Dino was already out of favour at home. Without sentiments I would say that Dino Melaye has been a national embarrassment, probably supported by the same people clamouring for Evans’ release. His tail is on fire and his contractors rushing back to site to complete his abandoned projects.He now seems to remember he is a steward and not on a vacation. People signed those signatures, humans, people with belief that he should get out of there, or worse still, people with indifference to politics. Now Dino is acting, But too late. He claims the signatories were financially motivated, but he would not be the first person to say this. We have become accustomed to financial inducements on election day in Nigeria, in my home state, though it was obvious who the better candidate was, votes were still sold with the winning party outbidding the opposition in many polling units. It has never been an issue and shouldn’t be an issue in this election ; a recall can be seen as an election in reverse. In spite of these inconsistencies, if there really are, the process is there, described in detail by the Electoral Act, the process is regulatory. Many observers had even expressed reservations on the process being too stringent and made deliberately painstaking in order to protect the legislators who made the laws in the first place.
The constituents didn’t mind, even when the Dep. Sen. President made an asinine statement that the process was “dead on arrival”, how could the wish of the people be dead on arrival? He was largely ignored and condemned by a few people. Nobody thought it was an issue and I wouldn’t have brought it up if not for the intrigues that played thereafter. Dino finally gets a court order, the Judge even with an unlimited number of words available to him chooses to be ambiguous in order to serve both masters. The status quo should be maintained, initially INEC says the status quo is the recall process and would stick to the timetable, then the Senate allegedly reminds the INEC chairman of unsettled scores while TETFUND was under his watch, the books are to be opened. He wants the books closed. He hastily announces that the recall process is suspended immediately. The will of the people not worth his ambition. In saner climes,the only sensible thing to do is resignation. Even if the above isn’t the case, as long as there is a potential clash of interests, the INEC chairman would at least admit that he cannot boast of clear judgement in handling this case. It not a coincidence that the TETFUND issue is coming up at this time.
Now it is not a slap anymore, it is a sucker punch to the people of Kogi West and Nigerians in general. The court says it would hear the case on September 29 after the 90-day window for recall would have elapsed, creating a future legal case on the validity of the process. INEC says they are going to try to vacate the court order. For now the only concrete thing is that the constitutional process of recall has been halted, or discontinued or suppressed or thrown out the window.

Nigerians are in a very bad mood. In the maneuverings that have taken place, the senate are the biggest gainers, their interests are firmly protected. Dino has become the laughing face of everything that is wrong with our legislative houses from state to federal level. Incompetency, non-performance, power-drunkeness, unqualification, stagnating national development, acting as a city of refuge for former public office holders with pending corruption investigations, and recently embroiled in machinations to undermine the acting president. Even more painfully, their upkeep gulps a stunning quarter of national expenditure, a budget funded on deficit and borrowing. It is a common thing to hear Nigerians say they cannot wait for elections, so they would have an opportunity to vote our their legislators. It does not have to be so. If Dino’s recall had sailed smoothly, it would have been a catalyst, precipitating numerous recalls throughout the country. In fact, when Dino’s recall sails through, it will be a catalyst for many other recalls. Many legislators would have sat up and earned a fraction of their lump allowances, thus improving national wellbeing. They know this, that is why they are interested in jeopardizing Dino’s in order to destroy belief in recalling a legislator. This is why Nigerians must wake up at this point and insist that due process be followed and Dino returns to roost. Nigerians should take action against the judiciary being used as a gag when our interests are to be discussed. If the process fails to take Dino home due to the criteria not being satisfied, fair and square,and not because of interference or subversion of the process. If the Senate continually undermines the constitution, they have undermined their legality, therefore they must go, because their existence is based on the sanctity of the Constitution. This time, they have shot themselves in the foot.
Do we really need two Houses? What’s so special in deliberating on a Bill twice? I’m in favour of replacing the Senate with a ceremonial house consisting of our traditional rulers or their representatives. Minimally salaried, it would foster unity and considering that many rulers wield immense authority over their subjects especially in the North, there is greater potential for conflict resolution and solves the question of unfair allocation of senatorial districts.

Since they have shown that they represent their own agenda, this is an opportunity for the masses to seize power. The ball is in our court. Fellow countrymen, I call for a masses coup. We should insist on INEC following due process. The Judiciary cannot overturn the will of the people, not anymore. Adams Oshiomhole’s victory at the Tribunal and at the courts heralded a new era ,seeds of hope were planted, lot of rigged elections were overturned, once again we trusted in the Judiciary. Justice Ayo Salami is long gone, now corruption and legislative insolence is fighting back, so let’s go back to the trenches. We shall begin the process of recalling the many others who have grown too powerful, little gods, impotent, loyal to the party and unconcerned about the masses, we cannot compare our salaries to their allowance, yet we toil morning till night, many of us have extra jobs in order to make end meet, civil servants part timing as drivers and menial workers in the evenings. It is time to forget religion and do the right thing immediately. Nigeria has numerous challenges, the Oct 1st issue threatening to tear the country apart, a solution would not come by force or police action, we need to change how the country is run. The biggest gainer in the present system is still the legislator, who is busy adding allowances to the budget but cannot inquire about the health of the president, the legislator who accepts monies from Oil multinationals to suppress Bills that would eradicate contract staffing and other subtle forms of Neo-colonization. The topics that make us fight at newsstands are never discussed in the Houses. If development was distributed equitably, nobody would feel cheated – in the context of development at least. If the legislators were made to appreciate the fact that they were there based on how we feel about them, they would be eager to please us, they would pass laws that would affect the ordinary Nigerian, they would frequent their constituency offices, they would do anything to maintain their tenancy, carry out careful analysis and selective implementation of the Confab report and act as a genuine check on the Executive.

Only a fool in Nigeria would tell himself that he’s a staunch PDP or APC or any other party member, when these parties have shown that they lack ideology, moral direction nor are concerned with social welfare. They are more like miners during the gold rush who hoped to strike gold and get rich quickly, in this case, the mines are not government coffers, but our ignorance – constantly exploited, our non-chalance – encouraged and allowed to fester like a sore, our religion – used to polarize us, beclouding our common sense. But they all mix freely, Christian, Muslim, Hedonist , ATR, they mix very well and switch sides more readily than football teams at halftime, decamping and returning as the wind returneth in its circuits. But not anymore. The wish of the people must be respected at all times, if Kogi West or any other constituency wants their Legislator home, then he must go home. We must take our destinies in our hands. We are more than them, it’s our mandate. If we allow them thwart this process, it would further strengthen impunity and bring rejoicing to the camp of the Philistines. We brought them into the Chamber, let’s take them out of it.
Being a legislator in Nigeria is not a job.
Goodnight Nigeria.

TimeMod1:
Diezani, this is what deomelo & I was telling you. There's Nothing like favors, it was rather a pre-planned move by over-ambitious oafs.

yeah.. that's why I said I wouldn't want to jump into hasty conclusions with limited facts. I've been busy reading the constitution, you should too

deomelo:
Acting President Osinbajo doesn't owe him anything, Saraki was just doing his job based on the same constitution guiding his own job, not any kind of favor.

Saraki can not become the acting president unless the acting president legally or constitutionally surrendered power to him based on his inability to govern for health or personal reasons just like PMB did when he ceded over to his VP.

The zanfara joker is just another ignorant and illiterate clown, but Saraki is not, hence his decision not to even entertain such foolishness.

saraki's smartness greatly surpasses his goodwill. though constitutionally there are provisions that could have been exploited like the Zamfara joker was trying to point out. I agree with you that he's ignorant and a clown and you should agree with me that someday in the perfect season saraki will strike

TimeMod1:
What are you saying?..
I never asked you furnish me her bio rather I asked that you disengage from her demeaning personality. At best, she's lost her personality. If you're Diezani, it's quite unfortunate of you. Your truest feelings of shame and guilt would come in retrospection if only you're not an iceberg. While I truly hope you are not her, be advised to totally disengage from her damning any pecuniary gain that are attached. Your integrity should matter to you.

I don't think you have the moral license to judge or condemn anyone.. let's leave the diezani issue and talk about the thread

Jasomine:
Trust Saraki, the guru of Nigeria politics. The Kwara lord will not fall for that. Like a cobra, he knows when to strike.

you read the post

TimeMod1:
I thought you said you didn't want to jump into hasty conclusions, so from where do you pull this out?? Osinbajo owes nobody a favour.

I doubt you read the article. the dispute was on whether Senate had the right to reject nominations and osinbajo disregarding their rejection. the Igbo senator said that none of the presidents are in the country currently, probably hinting at an opportunity for the Senate to declare saraki as acting president and effect magu and gbajamiala's rejection by himself. saraki knows that as soon as osinbajo returns power would naturally fall back to the VP. but doing something like that would cause unrest because people would cite how long it took for osinbajo to become acting president and the ease with which saraki became acting president. people would talk about northern agenda etc so saraki lets it slide
note that no one is talking about impeachment.
but the zamfara senator comes in , armed with the constitution, he obviously has rehearsed this and has been waiting for an opportunity. his intentions are religio-ethnic, and sees it as an opportunity to get osinbajo out.
he represents the interest of his constituency and the coincidence is odd that a senator from zamfara is so versed on the Senate provisions for declaring acting president, Nigerian senators are not known for brilliance in things like this. he has been planning this for a while.
but he's too quick, now he's a known party traitor.
p saraki doesn't even allow debate on it, he quickly rules it out of order. it would have been a good opportunity for senate to have executive powers but saraki knows it is extremely dangerous, would set a bad precedent and would make him a few more enemies.
thats politics for you. the other angle could be that it could be a grand plot to fool the executive into believing that saraki is loyal, but the unity needed for such a plot is lacking in the Senate.

right now , osinbajo owes saraki.. and u should read the story again

TimeMod1:
Very well said but if you want me to take you seriously then you would do away with the person on that DP & replace it with a better one.

Diezani Allison Madueke is an Ijaw woman married to an Igbo man. She's smarter, better educated, and achieved more than most Nigerian women. Aside the political stuff she's very very very intelligent unlike members of our current cabinet.
