chukwudi44: Bros keep your nonsensence permutations ro yourself.GEJ might loose woefully in the other southwestern states but not in lagos with a sizeable population of non-yorubas especially the igbos.Nassarrawa,Taraba,plateau,benue,southern kadunnna,xtian adamawa,xtian Niger, are 100% sure for GEJ.
Don't even think Jonathan's rift with amaechi will affect his chances in rivers.

demelza: So we shouldnt hold these pastors accountable for their disastrous actions? And you want us to accept pastors sleeping with their members because it has somehow become the norm?
I aint got no words to waste with you dude.

demelza: If you try and free your brains from the hold of your pastor, it will do you a whole world of good.
Does an ordinary member have a congregation that he is accountable to?
No one gives two fùcks if members sleep with themselves, its nothing new.
The grouse here is with a pastor who while having a wife, sleeps with his members and later climbs the pulpit to preach morality and righteousness.
Like I said earlier just try to use your brain.

lomprico: am sure even if there is a video or picture evidence to proof her claims, people will still attack her and say d devil is using her. going by some of the posts i've seen so far, there is no God fearing people anymore rather we have pastors and MOG's fearers. they disobey and dishonor God to please their Pastors and MOG's. i seriously SMH for today's so called Christians.

Afam4eva: I condemned the governor of Abia state when he did something relative. You can check my post history. The reason why Fashola's own was more pronounced is because he's the governor of the most important state in Nigeria. I condemned Fashola's action from a constitutionally point of view and not from a tribal prism like a lot of people did and i will continue to condemn any state governor that carries out similar actions because it's not in tandem with the laws of the land.

pheesayor: Been living in festac all my life and I'm still there. Tenement rate will be paid until you have fully paid for the property and all house owners must have finished paying by now. The one for my house was completed over 10 years ago.

Go read what the law says because for people to neglect LG tenement rate but instead pay LASG land use charge, it must be legitimate. Besides ever since land use charge started, tenement rate bills from the LG has been discontinued to the best of my knowledge

PointB: Going to pay last respect to his friend, despite what people might say would have definitely been much better than the long essay written to defend the reason he didn't go. Reasons, which of course he failed to state.

I personally don't see the need for this epistle. He didn't go to pay final respect to a friend, and critics latched on it, wouldn't it have been more dignifying for the erudite professor to maintain a golden silence? What purpose does this angry rant serve? To fuel further bad blood?

Ptimes: The Minister of Water Resources, Sarah Ochekpe, said on Monday that it will be impossible to have free potable water in Nigeria.
Speaking at the Ministerial platform in Abuja, Mrs. Ochekpe said it will not be possible to have potable water due to the cost of distribution and maintenance of equipment
“It is not possible for water to be free, because water is so expensive to process, there’s the use of reservoir, building treatment plants, chemicals, payment of professionals and also channeling water to homes; all these cost money,” Mrs. Ochekpe said.

noblezone: Then build special schools for them.
Customize the schools to be suitable and to attract them.
Offer them scholarships.
Start from the scratch and build them up to the required standards.
Train and equip special teachers for that purpose.
Recognize their efforts,
Celebrate their progress,
Reward excellence among them,

Persist, challenge them, set targets for them, their families and the communities.
don't stop until targets are met!!!!!

My position is never that they should be left without education: I am rather saying that promoting a child who can hardly solve primary 1 mathematics to secondary (in the name of quota) is not a solution. It will even make things worse.

Short cuts might appear as progress, but it will destroy any foundation in no time!
Yes, our foundation has been destroyed.

noblezone: Your logic is so interesting.
Yet, let me state clearly that even in Gombe, there are great brains!
Only that the resources of such brains are not tapped because quota is there to provide short cut.

noblezone: What are you talking about?
Lower standard to encourage?

Now here is the drill:
Lowering the standard of education will produce low standard graduates,
that gives you the low standard workforce, low standard service delivery and low standard quality of life.

Funny enough, these low standard work force do get the best of appointments and positions.
these people end up taking decisions on how the country is run, and yet we are complaining that the nation is not moving forward!

By the way, when you lower the standard, these students who cannot cope in normal academic environment, will end up getting certificates but remain virtually illiterates.

It is the responsibility of the state government to prepare the children in the state at the primary school level. That the kids "refused" to go to school is failure of the parents, the religious institution and the state governments.

You can take a horse to the river, but you cant force it to drink.
As for me, it has become a burden that I live in a nation where merit is scorned and mediocrity embraced! such a retrogressive nation!
It is my parental responsibility to leave a legacy of a progressive society for my children.
I can hear Biafra beckoning! And I have answered without reservations!

noblezone: Whether schools for gender or disabled, there are standards that must not be compromised. The goal is still academic excellence. There are prerequisites to certain level of promotions.

A student who could not understand simple equation is promoted to a class where he would handle quadratic equation so that he can fill quota!!!

What is wrong with you people? Any country that allows such will surely sink to abyss!
No wonder we are hearing of graduates who cannot write their names!

There is nothing wrong in building special schools for those who cannot cope with normal academic programs. But there is everything wrong when you pick a student who should be in a special school to a normal academic environment and then lower the standard so that the student can "measure" up, and the singular purpose is not for learning but to fill "quota". What Yobe needs is thorough campaign in the grassroots on the need for education and not to promote kids who cannot read and write to secondary schools.

And I keep repeating this: I don't want my kids in such a country where merit is traded for mediocrity. I guess it is part of my responsibility as their father! Nigeria either reforms fast or continue to sink into abyss.

Yet, for those who want to move forward, we are looking critically to an alternative to Nigeria.

I sincerely apologise to Gombe state.

It is Yobe that has 2 as cut off!

noblezone: And federal character means that those who failed to achieve the basic minimum requirements for an admission must be admitted?
Do they have the capacity to learn and assimilate?
What are they being trained to become?

So we must force eagles to fly low so that the chickens can catch up?

You are guys are actually making case for our desire for our own Nation, where excellence will be the standard for all and sundry.

noblezone: Can your logic really apply here?
In this case, Anambra will have a JAMB cut off of 350 while that of Gombe will be 5 both for medicine.

qualified: cut off in courses in universities is not hinged on demand and supply, though it look so, on d surface. Law and Medicine, as u said are high, cos dullards wil not be able to learn n comprehend d principles in those serious courses.

SLIDE waxie: For what is worth,

1. we knw d id!ot who wrote this was a paid one.

2. We knw amaechi was a traitor, but a good one

3. How did the foolish writer got to knw dt someone advised jonathan to act like OBJ?

4. And if he did wanted to do so, he has failed as all jonathan has done so far was blowing his own trumphet as a retard! There has neva been any 'adeptness' in his dealing with his self-created enemies so far!

5. I think OBJ is a genius, GEJ is a dunder head!

DerideGull: It is humanly despicable that malnourished trolls have decided to take stabs on man who is not round to defend himself. However, what I have read from Dede1 indicated he is a man of astute personality and distinguishable character. In fact, his erudition is legendary. I personally believed Dede1 is a resident of Washington, DC suburb.
