So in your opinion, the increment should come before making the right policies to cushion the effect. Did you even hear yourself?
Do you think I will be hear replying you if the situation of the country is any better? Oga bye bye. Go sleep

Whether they increase or not is not my business but I'm telling you for free that EDUCATION HAS A COST. Everything from lecturer's salary to cost of equipment in the lab to the standard of teaching hospitals depends on the amount of tuition paid. These are doctors. A faulty education for a doctor would end up killing lots of people directly or indirectly. If you like be emotional about it.

U are talking like someone who has already cash out from the system and your family future has already been secured in this same country. What a pity. Assuming u climb a ladder to reach the top of the chain don't other deserve such experience with their family in their lifetime. After all u brought up Harvard. Where is Harvard located ? Is it moon. (jokes). Harvard is in United States. What is the economy and social life in the state. Do we run same system or wage structure or leadership foresight. Gentleman, when God shine his grace on you and alive in this country never despise the poor who have continue to bear the brunt of continuous cycle of bad leadership.

There are poor people everywhere and you are conflating many issues. Yes, there is corruption and there is bad leadership but that's not the point of discussion. The point is education has a cost and it must be paid somehow.

In the past, a student who knows he is poor excels academically in order to get a scholarship. That's how it happens in the US or Canada, for example. You can't be poor and still be an average student, hoping the government subsidize your education. Sooner or later, fees would have to be massively increased in Nigerian universities. The discussion must be centered on what can be done to make people be able to afford it. And it's the same thing as I have said earlier on, a combination of scholarships and student loans.

So you think naija govt don't tax workers?
we still high tax and get little or nothing in return..

People in the US pay tax too, why is their schools not free like Germany and some other EU countries ?

How many people work in the formal sector? Most people don't pay tax. European countries are socialist and have higher tax rates than the US. You keep more of your paycheck in the US than in Europe. Not to mention in the US the federal government does not own universities (with the exception of military academies which have free tuition). Some states in the US (eg Texas don't even have an income tax).

bareal:
Do you realise that we are not in the US? Let's be honest, that amount is outrageous compared to our income. Well, make una continue with una wickedness. God dey

It's not wickedness. It's commonsense. What you should be talking about is that government should create policies that can enable people afford these fees.

Education has a cost. Someone has to pay. If the fees are low and government does not pay, the quality of education will be terrible, these are doctors for heaven's sake. The bright ones among them will eventually go abroad after getting degree at low cost compared to their western peers. That's a big drain on the country's resources.

Let people pay market cost. The government can come in with loans (backed with an income share agreement as collateral), scholarships for academically bright students and talented sports people, grants by charity organizations, bursaries etc. That's how education is funded not every time ASUU strike because the university has to rely on government ad nauseam

There should also be a greater check on who gets to go to university. Imagine people scoring 160/400 in Jamb and still being allowed to go to university?

tmtech:
So how does Germany with a population of over 83million offer free tution in many schools since 2014?

They have an extremely high tax rate. That's how.

How much direct taxes have you paid in the last three years?

Yankiss:
Most of those sitting over these callous decisions are beneficiaries of Western Nigeria free education of Chief Awolowo's Government. Without that they wouldn't be educated not to talk of being able to access the opportunities they now have. It is very hard-breaking. Their children are away in foreign countries and the poor can go to hell. It is well. The hens will certainly come home to roost!

That policy was a silly policy. It may have seemed great when only hundreds go to school but they should have foreseen a time when millions would go to school and realized the unsustainability of free education in the face of low tax collection.

The socialist policies of AG has created a lot of economic problems in Western Nigeria (trade unions and unlawful cartels, bloated civil service, etc). It also made a lot of people give birth to kids they can't take care of because they believed the government would take control. If people understood that education has a real cost, then they will birth less children and also hold politicians more to account. But if it's free, what are you going to say? Dilapidated schools are a result.

bareal:
How much is minimum wage? You people wicked gan ni oh

That's not the university's problem. In the US, Ole Miss and Harvard won't charge the same amount. They also won't admit the same kind of students. The socialist mentality that education should be made free or low cost cannot work in a country with hundreds of millions of people. You want to be treated by a doctor who barely saw a stethoscope during training? Because that's what would happen if the university keeps charging pittance and admitting a lot of students.

tmtech:
Education is a choice ?

Weldone

Yes, it has always been a choice. Many people are better off trying to earn a living than going to get a degree.

Anyone who can't afford it should drop out. Education is a choice. If a Ghanaian university quotes 12,000 USD as tuition for foreign students, do people protest? No, you find a new school that matches your budget. Many of these medical students want to pay peanuts to get a medical degree then vamoose to UK or Saudi Arabia to earn same salaries with doctors from other countries who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars as school fees. Such arbitrage must stop.

Judge Abang go just open mouth wa. Withdraw the licenses indeed. The entire Nigerian banking sector would be ruined when you withdraw the license of UBA. Charge the individual bankers involved not the bank itself. It's human beings who perpetrate fraud not corporations. These are also public companies with pension funds owning a significant percentage of these banks.

justscorchone:
This is one of the scariest shit that can happen to any Nigerian , with no autopsy everyone will just conclude she was used for ritual,I pray we don't find ourselves in this situation. That's why I don't let girls sleep over, you don't know their underlining illness, collect and escort her to the bus stop

People don't die in the afternoon abi? Na only for night dem dey die? Not allowing people stay over is not a solution. Most post coital deaths occur due to underlying respiratory or cardiovascular issues, some of which the person involved may be unaware of.

The footballer Ericsson nearly died while on the football field, same could have happened to him after vigorous round of sex.

What must be condemned is the Nigerian Police Force
They are the problem. There was a Tyler Perry movie where an old man died after having vigorous sex with a youngie. He was buried almost immediately because he was known to have cardiovascular issues. In Nigeria, the police would arrest the hotel manager, the girl he spent the night with etc when the proper thing is to get a statement and then an autopsy. There is no need to detain someone when you don't have any reason to think the person killed the deceased.

People run or fail to tell the police because of fear and the police end up confirming their fears. They may even beat the man to force a confession.

I spit on the NPF.

It's the Nigerian police indiscriminate arrest policy that leads to situation like this. In the US, if someone dies, you report to the police. The police takes your statement and you go home while awaiting the autopsy. It's only when there are very obvious signs of murder or the autopsy report comes back showing murder or unnatural cause of death that you are arrested but in Nigeria if a man dies in a hotel after banging, the entire hotel including workers and other guests can be arrested by the Nigerian police just so they can get bail money.

They will tell you "So you nor know say na murder case be this?"

The most corrupt and inefficient institution in the history of man: NPF

Well, south easterners were the ones manufacturing in Anambra and selling it in South Africa. It goes without saying that when there is friction preventing the sellers from exporting it, local consumption is what would follow.

You don't mean it so the one FBI hacked into hushpuppi gmail is against the law ba

FBI didn't hack Hushpuppi's email.

A court order was gotten and GMail granted access directly to the account. If they had hacked his email, the evidence gotten would have been rejected by the court for being illegal

The process requires the customer to get a court order in order to trace the missing funds. This is for those people who are blaming GTB for not helping trace the money.

The same people who complain of this would also complain if the bank was to ensure more security. For example, imagine if the bank decides to charge you a monthly fee for protection such that you are called by an anti-fraud staff for every transaction above a certain amount. It is the same bank customers who will attack the bank for the inconvenience caused or for the fact they have to pay extra for such a service.

The fact that your money is saved in the bank doesn't mean you will abdicate responsibility for the safety of the money to the bank.

The woman in question should look around her family members and the POS shops she goes to for the thief who stole her money.

Husbands rape their wives too. A rapist can be a husband, a fiance or a bf.

Under Nigerian law, a man can't rape his wife

When a brand with over 50 years in existence offers you 7% for a year.....what do you do?

Karac:
You said the business is worth #15m and he pays 9 of his employees 500k monthly (#6m annually), that's #54m in just a year for just those 9 employees' salary, because I believe he has more employees. How come?

I think the 500k is the combined salary for the 9 employees and there is no indication that there are more than 9 employees. 15 million would likely be the cost of inventory.

Enugu, Ekiti or Gombe countries.

You have about $5000 and you want to relocate. Who go give you visa?

See your mouth like No African countries. You want to be an illegal immigrant.

The last pose was quite apt. What was earned with the ass must be celebrated by an ass pic.

schoolboymatt:
bullshiiit !

how could she had been rapped and the mother not notice at the age of four.

if this story is true, the mother should be arrested for carelessness.

unless of course there is something they are hiding.

Her father was initially arrested.

Alex go don build house from this man.

By the time they announce results, Maduka go swear for Alex and others who deceived him that he stood a chance. Someone that should have gone for house of reps under APGA.

Apprenticeship isn't a Nigerian word you know?

Would you consider a prodigious football player as one involved in child labour?

The youth football player gets paid a stipend, is sent to regular school and is not converted into a domestic servant. Apprenticeship is about learning. In Germany, auto parts manufacturers have apprenticeship systems where the focus is on practical training and certificates are even awarded.

The Igbo system is more of indentured servitude not an apprenticeship. That's why 95% of the boys are from poor homes.

OP is calling for the return of slavery and indentured servitude. In the 21st century, there are better models than getting free labor all in the name of "NWA boy".

Money want to kee my gf ok.. just because she chose to do the right thing and reduce her profiteering in her medical lab field...

She lowered the cost of her diagnosis by almost half.. e g.. everyone does malaria and thyphiod for 1500, sh does for 700.. her pregnancy test is just 500 and full blood count etc all is very cheap..

You might think she doesn't gain.. now her place is like the full community government lab.. she takes home a minimum 70k daily.. while all our other labs takes less than 20k home daily..

Just try to be different from The excess profiteering gang whilst still being on profit... She is just 27 and is worth about 21 million... Use ur brain.. don't join the train

I am sure there is a lab cartel and they are not yet aware of her. They would soon come and shut her down. Nigeria needs to have a competition commission to stop trade associations from fixing prices. Businesses should be allowed to compete on price.

There are various reasons for that. One particular reason I have discovered is that there is strong "cartelization" in almost every sector in Nigeria so there is little or no price competition as various trade and market associations fix prices. This isn't allowed in serious countries. Since every producer/wholesaler/retailer in a sector is increasing their prices, consumers have no other option than to buy because they can't boycott the entire sector.

Another reason is that Nigerians are very optimistic and believe that there would be money in future to purchase these commodities and goods and with this optimism comes a refusal to downgrade their appetites in the face of increasing prices.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan_shark

Loan sharks are illegal.

That's why they resort to unsavoury means of collection.

Jwonder:
You're one of the shameless debtors.
Lol loan apps are illegal but you all run to them for loans, why didn't you ask your family members for the money or why didn't you go to a bank for the loan?
Nobody forced you into taking these loans, if you felt the interest is outrageous, why didn't you just delete the app.
Why take a loan you know you won't be able to pay back? Doesn't that make you a criminal?
If everyone payback when they feel like it, how long before the company folds up?

As an idiot, you are unlikely to know that you are working for Chinese criminals. I can't be one of your debtors. Failure to pay back a loan is a civil matter, you do not violate any criminal laws by not paying. On the other hand, using money generated illegally and laundering it by lending it at illegal interest rates is a serious offence. You and your bosses are the criminals and you are guilty of usury and money laundering.

Jwonder:
If you feel the interest rate is too high why then do you collect the loan, why not go to the bank with collateral and collect a loan.
AS I HAVE ALWAYS STATED, don't take a loan if you're not okay with the interest rate.

So if I give you a loan in exchange for your life, will you accept it?

If you loan apps have mind, go and take it up with CBN whether your directors won't be locked up.

Nigeria has usury laws which you guys break. You are even the criminals as not repaying the loan is a civil matter while breaking the government's laws is a criminal matter.

You are a fool for even paying the first 3000.

The moment they sent that message, you should have told them they have effectively collected back their money. It's not as if they are going to repair your reputation after that.
