If Lagos can get rid of these religious houses, I will be the happiest man on earth. If one doesn't look well that no church or mosque is close by to where one wants to rent an apartment, the fellow will almost run mad with the way these mad people make noise. One would think they are godly people, they are evil deceiving themselves with religious activities.

Bello has forgotten the part he played in the past APC presidential primary. Hmmm. He has started again tackling one of the most loyal northern allies of Tinubu. Hmmm!

Bello will soon collect. Cos the Kogi elders sold themselves cheaply to him doesn't mean other regions will allow him to do gra gra. Bello is a kid, and he needs to learn from Fashola who decides to stay calm. Where are Osinbajo, Amaechi, Okorocha, etc today?

Seriously, Bello should be shown the kid's space. He needs to learn by force. A kid who doesn't know his limit must be taught a bitter lesson.

Give it to Obi when it comes to staying relevant as a leader. A lesson for new generation Leaders

Seyi Makinde was trying to caution Atiku that he is needed in Nigeria....but the chairman is in the diaspora again. Later he will start using money to buy votes....lol.

Damidave1124:
Good afternoon bro.
Can you tell me more about the soil science aspect?

Go check postgraduate masters in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and EU, you will find so many scholarships in environmental science and ecology. Have you heard about global warming?

The world economy is based on oil, and it is the first cause of global warming. Therefore, oil companies are made to invest in cycling carbon back into the soil. The carbon cycle business is a lucrative one.

Escape of carbon from the soil is why Agriculture is hard these days; therefore, the basis of balancing the ecosystem is knowing how to make the soil trap carbon back into it. Such that as oil companies are blowing away carbon from the earth, some experts are trapping it back. The United Nations aim to get as many soil experts to come into the business and trap more carbon into the soil than what oil companies are releasing into the atmosphere. This is why there are so many scholarships in this area.

So, anyone who gets into soil science and joins the regenerative agriculture movement is going to make it. This is the future. And who are the top researchers in this field? They are microbiologists. Now is the time to let go of chemistry and embrace biology (nature) to rebuild the soil with its natural ability.

Also, cleaning oil spillages with microorganisms in oceans (read how mushrooms are used for cleaning up) is another hot cake area one can go into.

Production of natural food is the talk all over the world now. Bill Gates is acquiring more land in the US for Agriculture and more soil scientists will be employed.

See...production of milk and the dairy business is a billion-dollar market anywhere, and people think livestock production is knowing how to take care of the animals and venturing into veterinary medicine is the best way. Nope. Soil scientists are the most needed personnel even in livestock production because grasses conversion to milk and meat is the way to calculate how successful the business is. Veterinary doctors will be on holiday when livestock have excellent grasses to feed on.

Human beings will say bye-bye to cancer the moment we remove chemicals from food production. Dementia, infections and autoimmune diseases will naturally fade away when the microorganism in the ecosystem is balanced the way nature wants them.

The foundation of life is soil...and we are beginning to realise that taking care of our nature using a biological approach rather than chemical is the way forward. Say no to chemicals and fertilizers in food production is the way forward.

Therefore, anyone who can learn how to make the soil good for agriculture will be patronised by so many people... (food investors, oil companies that want to trap carbon into the soil so they can burn more carbon and make more money, care homes and hospitals for elders and children that want organic food, nutritionists who want organic food for their clients, people battling with cancer and various diseases, etc). I mean virtually everyone who wants to live long and have a good life quality will require the service of a soil scientist who can deploy biology to regenerate soil.

SoNature:
This is the best time to Japa to Canada because Canada go soon cast! 😁😁😁😁

Canada cannot cast bro. Make dem go find animals to fill their large land area na. When the EU aren't interested in going there. Have you ever heard of the EU and British relocating to Canada? Even Caribbeans...have you seen them move there in large numbers the way they move to the US?

They will just keep adjusting their programs for Asians and Africans. It's a check-and-balance approach they will keep using.

Hi nairalanders, please I need people that has passed through this to help me suggestions
I'm a graduate of biochemistry (second class lower) and I'll like to study nursing
I'm thinking of studying in a private niversity here in Nigeria or studying abroad
I don't know if I'm qualified for the direct entry or I start a fresh and in confused to which school to choose
As for studying abroad I have no information whatsoever on how to go about it
I need advice from you dear nairalanders. Thank you

If you have money to study abroad, I will tell you the options you have before you rush into nursing. Nigerians always rush into what many people talk about.

The hype about nursing is high because most developed nations' citizens do not want to do the job. Despite the somehow pay increment, they still don't want to do it.

Dearest, since you are into biochemistry look into:

1. Genetical Science and Gene Editing: You will be dazzled with what you will become after your masters in this course. If you master gene editing with one of the latest technology, your future is secured. Read about CRISPR-cas9 and the wonders it is doing in plant, animal
and human science.

2. Microorganisms study: You can go into any area in plants and seeds, animals or humans. If you know the future of the study of microorganisms, you will get my point.

3. Environmental Science and Ecology. This area is too wide. You can look into regenerative agriculture, carbon cycle and areas around it, clean energy, renewable energy, etc.


Let me tell you...biochemistry is one of the best foundational courses to launch into a disruptive technological career. Soil science is huge now also.


Good luck!

N.B. This post is for those planning to study abroad. If you go into any of these courses in Naija now....na hunger go reformat your brain.

It is funny how prophets start predicting elections and football games. That's betting.

Let's just say Pastors are now into sports betting. Las las na probability, combination and permutation skills are needed for success in the field.

Onuimo1:
I hope CAF is not playing mind games on our players. I hope the doping test will not affect the Eagles negatively.
And which other countries are being tested in this drug stuff. NFF and Nigerian entourage and contingents should stand up and let CAF understand that our team shouldn't be used for lab tests.

Make them test the Elephants of Cote di voire too.

Na only dem take the test? Na dem first time taking the test? So, you don't know they take it regularly even in their clubs.

Stop being emotional.

Footballers hardly use drugs except the ones addicted to hard drugs. It doesn't make any difference if you take energy drugs for football....they know it too. Enhancing drugs don't improve one's game that much. They are mainly for sprinters, and other Olympic games categories...not football.

Let Wilder take the best-enhancing drugs, Fury will still close his eyes.

Lol...

Zuma is about to fall finally. It is hard to bounce back after being sacked from a platform one used to climb to the top especially when corruption is involved. I wish Zuma the best of luck. But they all should learn from Nelson Mandela who ruled and bowed out in peace. Why must they always want to be in power after ruling?

Hahahha

Frontpage comments are funny. Dangote is in business with Lagos State. See... Dangote is setting Yoruba to toast South-South for crude oil, but he has shown that...." to heck with their crude oil". And Lagos is backing him. Now you know why Tinubu is the president. Now, you know why the CBN is moving most financial aspects to Nigeria.

See...forget it. Tinubu is handing over to someone (a northerner) in their clique.

Yoruba will toast South-South for their oil...and if Igbo wants to do...fine. if not, they don't care. Igbo needs to check out of Nigeria to be prosperous. I am saying this for their good.

Whynotthetruth:
Please what's wrong with an election conducted by Humphrey Nwosu which was adjudged the fairest election till date? Option A4? He even announced results against executive order

Go read the book he published after the election...you will get a clearer picture. Many of you are still in the dark. Those who are in the light understand why he is irrelevant today.

Is he relevant again? Answer me.

rotadeco27:
You analysis is top notch, however , the north will not support any other candidates again, aside Tinubu because they know it will impair their coming back in the following 4yrs as the new person will want to do 8yrs as constitution allows. Power is sweet so forget any kangaroo agreement that could have been signed. The north won't fall for that! They are patiently waiting for their turn again and won't want to be involved in any arrangements that would extend it.

This makes sense. But PDP still needs to try. Jonathan messed up by not honouring the one-term agreement he had with them. He won the first time because he agreed to go just one time so that the North could complete Yaradua's term. And OBJ backed out knowing what honoring one's word is to the north. Yeah! Tinubu looks good to win 2027.

But we cannot remove the power of the people if BVAS and direct transmission of votes to the server are deployed in 2027 which I expect should be the case.

While I agree with you, I still think if PDP can pull a stunt like what I suggested, a big surprise might unfold itself in 2027. The big question is how that candidate can convince the North that he will go for a single term. Hmmmm!

As for the igbos , I believe they can produce president in the future but definitely not obi , they failed woefully with the post election aggressive attitudes they put up, power is grabbed by forming alliances and building loyalists not by fighting, that is the strategy PBat employed , he has been preparing, building and planting his loyalists for a long time and that was the reason he was so confident he was going to win ,rigging mechanism inclusive. The igbos insulted the fulani because of Buhari and came for the Yoruba because of Tinubu , power is never gotten like that. Before the election many Yoruba youths and elites were in support of obi because we believed he is a lesser evil and of course age is on his side ,not because he is an igbo man, haven lost the election the igbos turned the whole thing to their sole agenda. I wonder how Peter Obi would have gotten over 6million votes without the contribution of several thousands of the Yoruba vote. I wished the movement was sustained but it has been messed up already. I know they will come back to preach peace come 2027, but the situation is unsalvageable as it is clear the tribal intent behind the ambition. Going forward, I think if Nigeria won't allow them rule , they should be allowed to go , the country belongs to us all and it should be an all inclusive rotation of leadership,no matter the tribe.

Thanks for this view on how Igbo can become the president. But this is based on Igbo swallowing their pride to ally with the north. Do you think the Igbo will do it? I doubt it. I have thought about this option, but those guys I read their comments daily online seem not to want to compromise their stand. Igbo is all about himself from the way I see them.

Igbo did not start insulting Fulani and Hausa because of Buhari...it is a thing that start in the 1960s. Check it out: Zik (Igbo man) was the president...ahmadu Bello was the prime minister. They thought the president was the alpha and omega then not knowing that the British system makes the prime minister more powerful. When they realised it, they wanted the post. Lol. So, they killed Ahmadu Bello in Yoruba land trying to set up the Yorubas. Lol. Meanwhile, Yoruba and other tribes have not tasted power. Infact, Igbo were more powerful and the population in the old eastern region was huge that they can compete with the north. Yoruba was the least then. They did not realise that it was Awolowo they were dealing with. If they had put the Awo factor in the equation, they would have come up with a better plan. This is why Igbo hate Awolowo with passion. Of course, they got what they wanted, but it lasted for just 6 months. And then, IBB used their greediness to create more states so they could have more allocations from the FG just like everyone else to remove South South from their grip. Lol. The moment Igbo lost power over the whole of South - South during IBB regime, they became a shadow of themselves.

My guy, I like your view, but Igbo are their own enemies. They want Aso Rock now....and they are not ready to team up with the North. Maybe your view will come to pass...maybe..and I pray so. But I don't see them team up with anybody. They want to do it alone...it is their way. They think it is their right....Igbo must rule Nigeria na. They must be president na.

OP is on the same side as I am. Except for Yakubu or whatever his name wants to end as Humphrey Nwosu IBB used for his evil agenda, he should do this sh.t he did in the last election. The reason I wasn't concerned was that all the candidates took advantage of the porous system (Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso) all rigged at their places. So, the best rigger won the election.

This time, let us see a real election and then, we can have good people come into the game. This is just my concern. I want to see riggers (good people will still not contest in 2027), come together again, but let us see the real winner among the riggers. When good people see that the voting system is almost perfect, they will join in 2031.

If Yakubu plays this stunt again, the curses of the masses will make him another Humphrey Nwosu.

Darkjudge24:
The mention of an ijaw man spoiled your essay, an ijaw man indeed, the only good thing about an ijaw man is chop and chop, no idea to share

Everyone in Nigeria is chop and chop so don't go there. However, oil in that region has made them highly self-centred, so I understand your point. But if you look closely, some men are bold there that can die for their candidate. Jonathan rides on this notion during his regime.

Anyway, it shouldn't be about tribes, but unfortunately, this is the present Nigerian politics. So, I wish to ask you....which tribe do you think Fulani and Hausa will accept apart from Yoruba? Cos 50% of these two tribes must buy into anyone who aspires to contest.

Adeleke needs to settle this issue permanently. Border issue.....land wahala is a big issue in Nigeria.

It is time the government took over all land from families in Nigeria. Enough of this rubbish.

More revelations coming. My concern is that Atiku doesn't know when to stop or pause. I believe if he had not contested back-to-back, he would have known his friendly enemies. But his desperation to become the president has caged him in his prison such that he thinks he can buy his way into Aso Rock. Atiku is foolish for trying to become the president during Southern time. Loyal northern people always keep to their words, and they are waiting for 2031. Atiku is just a loser. He is a yeye politician now.

We used to think that there was only Wike and G5 gov wahala, but seriously, there are many more ready to abandon him. They are only with him because they know he gives generously. Most of those with him do not believe he can be the president. And I know that Atiku cannot be the president of Nigeria. The only person who has survived OBJ is Tinubu. When OBJ faces you, then, know that you are finished except you are Jagaban.

Neither am I a fan of OBJ nor Tinubu, I am just making known my observation.

People like Donald Duke are already tired of the whole situation. But I don't know how they allowed Atiku to hijack PDP. Anyway, wherever people like Dino Maleye pitch their tents, just know that anyone with money will always win.

PDP needs to get rid of Wike and Atiku ASAP to prosper. Also, they need to get rid of Makinde too. And that party should try to put in a well-loved South South qualified candidate, but make sure that Obi also contests in its primary. Obi's loss is a good thing cos he will have no choice but to make all his people follow the candidate. Igbos should not deceive themselves, the Fulanis and Hausas will not vote for them, so they cannot be the president. They should know this and have peace. I have advised them to forget Nigeria and find a way to leave. They are wasting their time contesting. So, they should support a South-South candidate if they want to be relevant in Nigeria. If they like, let them insult me here. I just know that they cannot become the president of Nigeria. Shikena.

I think Goodluck Jonathan should select a candidate for PDP. And I think most likely an Ijaw candidate can beat Tinubu in 2027 if Igbo and 50% of the north can buy into such a candidate.

Abelino:
You don't support physical abuse and your write up says it all. Very confused sets of People.

Lol!
Looks like your head needs a permanent mark too.

The useless woman who was battered is ypur concern...but the innocent children who she invited evil into thwir lives is not your concern. You need a permanenet mark too. Odensin.

But it's the truth. Security in Nigeria is something else.

Ademola claimed he saw strange marks on their children’s heads. But the woman explained to him that she put the marks to fend spiritual attacks off and protect the children.

Many people are fetish. Honestly, I don't support physical abuse and beating, but mehn! This woman's brain needs to be reformatted. Children that came to live their lives...one useless woman has exposed them to evil in this world. Some people don't deserve to have children. Honestly. I can't say I support beating people, but this one is an exception. Madwoman. A permanent mark on her head will complete the equation.

DoctorAyukebot:
Definitely though not in terms of looting funds but décisions as to who plays or not according to his ego.

Hmmmm! Before you get funds illegally, you get power via an illegal route first. When you acquire power illegally, it is corruption. Song is a product of corruption. Perhaps, money was looted behind the scenes we don't know about. Or they did not bother to investigate because they had enough evidence to boot him out.

DoctorAyukebot:
I wouldn't say Cameroon's weak showing is borne of looting at the federation. Badluck with injuries for some star players, unnecessary infightings at the federation and most especially the inexperienced coaching from Song are to blame. Many surmise Song was singlehandedly put by Eto'o just so he too could have the biggest stake at how the squad is managed. I think it is Eto'o who really decides who plays or is called to the squad.

The bolded part...is that not corruption?

Though football is unpredictable just like how Ghana conceded 2 goals at 90+1 and 90+4. Mehn! So, anything is possible, but I am for the Super Eagles. Go! Go!! Go!!! Eagles. We gat this.

But wait! I thought deeply about the recent performances of Nigeria, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire, and Cameroun, and I concluded that corruption is behind these weak performances. The moment Africans saw that there was massive money to loot in football, the playing standard started declining. Just imagine Samuel Eto'o who I felt had made all the money he needed during his football career still went in and tried looting more as the Cameroonian football president.

It is well.

okoroemeka:
these are not kings but traditional rulers in anambra state,these people are the guardians and custodians of traditions and democratic principles,the igbos cannot and will never abolish the very principles and foundations of democracy,the Court's and palaces of these rulers is were the poorest individual can petition a case and have a fair hearing

Lol! Courts of your local looters. Na waooo! People still think like this in 2024. Chai! Traditional rulers and not kings...chai...

Yet, the people are so poor there...and the useless traditional leaders are looting the funds. And they are defending them indeed.

So in your world...these people are the defenders of democracy. Perhaps the democracy in your place is different from what we know.

People don't change easily. They prefer poverty.

DestinyNigga:
The problem we have is our politicians not traditional rulers

Nope. Politicians see that traditional leaders are tools, and they start using them. It means that there is a fundamental problem with the traditional setup. If there is a problem, do we really need them? Let us be factual.

Most people want the traditional leaders because they think they are protecting their culture. Think of the amount they give them. Imagine having traditional and chieftains ministries in the state budget. Go find out how commissioners fight for that post because it is juicy. And the purpose is just to feed kings with workers and taxpayers. Just imagine. Which king? Which benefit do you have from these kings? Yet, they are the same tools politicians use to confuse locals, especially the illiterates during elections.

Seriously, these kings are damaging Nigeria more than protecting whatever culture they say they are protecting. Just imagine the drama in Kano. There was a time when Wike called them together and insulted them all. Lol. They are useless. Very hopeless.

Why do we need them in 2024? Please tell me.

martolux:
When you complain about a serious issue, you should have a solution or way out, that's constructive criticism. I asked for a possible way out but you came with lamentation.

Is the removal of kings a serious issue? Which is more serious...to keep incompetent people who are looting or remove them? And I asked...that culture you want to protect, are the kings protecting it now? Don't you get it? I am not going to give you my ideas until you can see clearly that they aren't doing it. The first step is not for me to give you any alternative, but to show you that what we have on the ground is not working. Why would I want to change what is working?

The problem here is that you haven't accepted that they are useless. When you accept that, we will talk about the solution. Even your idea may be better than mine.

Questions you need to ask yourself:

1. Are the kings really protecting our culture?
2. Are they really needed to protect our culture?

When we are on the same level, then, we move to the next stage. Stop jumping around. Face the reality on the ground before moving ahead. This is how politicians manipulate you.

martolux:
How can we preserve our culture without this kings? You've got any possible ways??

Can a looting machine keep anything?
Do you prefer to keep these kings while they keep looting all the money that should go to the grassroots? What culture are you keeping while they loot massively? Looting cannot keep anything.

And by the way, what exactly have you benefitted from the culture these kings have kept you? Tell me. The only thing you have benefitted and will keep having is poverty.

I would rather lose the culture and get rid of the looting machine than keep the looting machines who don't even know their culture. Does Ooni of Ife understand the Ide culture in your eyes? Lol. Does the Kano empire or what it is called understand what they are doing after Ganduje broke it into 5 sections and installed 4 more powerful kings...meaning looting more. Dey play. Let them keep brainwashing you. Cultural people. "Na poverty go kill you with this culture of a thing"

Any attempt to transfer the assets without resolving issues affecting our members will be met with the stiffest resistance the industry has ever witnessed

Nigeria is ready to throw away all those foreign oil companies because the Dangote refinery has arrived. I think PENGASSAN is taking a preventive measure to secure the future of its members presently working in Shell. I am sure one of the deals will be to force the new buyer to absorb all its members....lol...which is the way of most unions. While workers see this as the right thing to do, employers don't. But the truth is that workers are slaves to employers everywhere.

I would like to read the details of what PENGASSAN is asking for. By the way, they cannot block the sales of assets. Not by force to continue business in an unfavourable environment.

Power must change hands is about to happen in the oil industry. Many are going to lose their jobs, while others take over. More data scientists, artificial intelligence experts, cybersecurity experts, etc are coming on board. Let PENGASSAN do its worst. Any worker who is not ready to return to his books will be kicked out. So, if they think they can force people who are not useful again to the new buyer of SHELL, they are jokes.

The area I support them to hammer on is the compensation of all the workers. This is the area I support. Until I read the details of their demands, I will say nothing further.

The day Nigeria gets rid of these kings and still find a way to preserve its culture is the day of their freedom. Just imagine the number of kings in Nigeria.
