If bandit could run down a supposedly security power house of the nation, I think what these guys cannot do does not exist due to their Fulani leadership support from PMB and others

Nigerians have lost hope on our leaders both the APC and PDP. These leaders have no vision for the common man

No PDP national chairman has ever completed their 4 years tenure

Any country you can't find Nigerians does not exist... especially this bubu bad regime where a lot of citizens are fleeing the nation in search of greener pastures in any country at all that's not Nigeria

You added your ow part of dirty dish, you're still the dirty type, if not you would've cleaned the plates you used in eating.

I had my share of COVID-19 after been tested positive in a company clinic(I was actually feeling feverish and I was on malaria drugs before going for the test), I didn't show any symptoms nor even high temperature...the nurse that took/tested my sample said they're simply testing for malaria and mine was high(++).

To me all they do there is malaria test, NCDC should stop deceiving us, anyway it's their time to cash out.

Is this be applicable to our politicians?

Ha, you've already failed...

Anything that enters Nigeria government officials use it as business. COVID is real but these people are also falsifying figures for dullard presido to bring in more cash

I posted exactly this trend few month(s) ago it was never at the front page.
I don't really know the criteria required to make front page.

Whether we like it or not, religion has negative impacts on our daily lives. The negative impacts of religion ranging from sentiment, favouritism, chauvinism, extremism to hatred and killing, have caused more harm to our collective existence as human family than good.

In the name of religion, we hate and kill ourselves in order to please our GOD? Unacceptable!

If there's any god anywhere that would require his followers (mere humans) to hate, kill those who he perceived as his enemies, then that god is weak, not worthy to be worshipped.

I believe that the Creator of every life won't be happy seeing humans killing humans to please Him. Are we stronger than him? Why did He create his enemies in the first place? Are we not brainwashed? It is high time we reasoned as humans.

Any god that cannot avenge for himself is not our creator – the Creator of heaven and earth.

I always say, Our creator is neither a Christian nor Muslim. Na we people created another slavery called religion for ourselves. Therefore, we must drop all the hates like hot potato and love one another and make the world a better place for all of us.
Human family, let love lead!!

Aircraft Maintenance engineering is a very good course and has a lot of potentials in Nigeria and the world.
From my own research why most people fall victim of bad experience in this path is lack of information. Gets all your facts right about this career and your son would excel excellently.

Thanks sir and God bless you

Open either a beer parlor or barbing saloon shop. Try this and thank me later

Many of these Nollywood actresses na Olosho na...imagine person like jenevieve banging someone like Alh Atiku way bck so what do you expect(steady cash out na)

To avoid seeing something like this on the wedding night so man need to test run what he's to spend the rest of his life with.

Why wouldn't he assent to it swiftly looking at d fact that some percent are been allocated to oil exploration in lake Chad basin

Buhari, is that not what you want?

It's a shame, a fkng shame� for the troops trained for 20 years, wearing combats to flee the city to hooligans wearing dresses �I feel sorry for the UK and USA soldiers who lost their lives to liberate such spineless individuals

It's a shame, a fkng shame� for the troops trained for 20 years, wearing combats to flee the city to hooligans wearing dresses �I feel sorry for the UK and USA soldiers who lost their lives to liberate such spineless individuals

All these so called world power na bobo juice. They're I'm for business when they're not on d gaining side they quick. I feel for the afghan people

Zubby, I nor know watin u dey do sha oh but I pray them no go catch you!

Pochettino:
We women just don't know what we are missing by not following football. So sad

It's all about devotion, just devote your time to it and you'll be a lover of football.

May years ago, growing up in Benin city back then, my elder and younger brother would go to a viewing center to watch a football game while I stay at home...and these guys discussed and call all premiership players by name like they know them in person...1993 my father kindred ask me to name just two players in England of which I couldn't I was so so ashame of myself and I said from today I mst follow-up football...long story short madam...

In two seasons I started calling these players by name also and till today I'm a lover of football.

So, with determine and devotion nothing we can't achieve.

Every thing seems impossible untill it is done- Nelson Mandela of blessed memory.

I'm in full support of downstream deregulation of the petroleum sector but the refineries need to be working optimally (in full capacity) before the complete removal of subsidy...
If subsidy is completely removed PMS could be sold for as low as N100/litre eliminating cost of crude haulage.

I'm in full support of PENGASSAN point of view. God bless Festus OSIFO (PENGASSAN national President)

Come to think of it, APC don't have any credible and competent candidate other than Osinbajo. Let's project him come 2023

kennys:
Not "working stick" it is walking stick.

Sorry sir...thanks for the correction

Everything in Nigeria is going down word...from 5th position in 1996 to 34th position in 2021...nawa

Tinubu, someone using working aid(working stick) to be our next presido...it can't be.

Let them go and defend him and they shall be disappointed spectacularly. It is not from these charge and bail lawyers PMB sent to ICC that disgraced a whole nation. Failure and disappointment await them.

Admin pls move this to the front page...thanks in anticipation

BASICALLY, there are seven reasons why degree holders are poor.

*1. THEY DON’T THINK BEYOND THEIR CERTIFICATES*

Albert Einstein said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Have you ever heard creativity term “Think outside the box”? One of the major reasons why most graduates are poor is simply because they can’t see and think beyond their certificates.
I have seen engineering students work as bankers. I have seen medical doctors with great skills in web and graphic designs. I have seen lawyers that are very dexterous with finances. The list is endless!

The basic truth of life is that the skills that are needed to be much sought after and become more successful in life are not really found within the walls of the classrooms. Your certificate is just a proof that you are teachable, it does not suggest what you are totally capable of doing. You are full of possibilities when you think beyond your degrees and certificates.

*2. THEY PRIORITIZE THEIR CERTIFICATES MORE THAN THEIR GIFTS AND TALENTS*

I have often advised some of my colleagues, never to leave their gifts dormant while pursuing and hunting for jobs with their certificates. There must be a complementary balance in the pursuit of your passion and in the search for jobs.

Everybody is gifted for something, but the winning edge comes from our ability to work on our gifts and bless the world with it. The very best way to develop yourself is in the direction of your natural talents and interest. In order to live a fulfilled and impactful life, we need to work harder on our gift than our job. We need to discover our gift, develop it, and sell it. Don’t bury your TALENT with your certificates.

*3. THEIR CERTIFICATES PREPARE THEM FOR A WORLD THAT NO LONGER EXIST*

It has been found that most of the skills taught in schools are becoming obsolete in the present world. The world has changed a lot, and so are people’s need! It is imperative to know that the present form of university education does not prepare students for the future.

Graduates are becoming endangered species in the face of a changing world. Our archaic methods and approaches of learning are preparing graduates for a world that no longer exist, as we are churning out degree holders every year with certificates that have face value but no intrinsic worth. Most learning institutions are filled up with lecturers and pseudo-educators with lecture notes, methods and approaches that have lost relevance in a changing world.

*4. THEY KNOW LESS ABOUT THEMSELVES BUT MORE ABOUT THINGS*

Certificates and degrees don’t reveal people to themselves; they at most measure our IQ (Intelligent Quotient). I have often tell people that there is no Recovery without Discovery. A poor man is simply someone that has not discovered himself.

The more you discover yourself, the more you realize the treasures that are hidden deep within you. We carry inside ourselves latent treasures that can only be unveiled through self-discovery.

*5. CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES CAN KILL INITIATIVES*

Degrees and certificates can close up your minds to ideas while initiatives open it up. If you are not careful, your degrees and certificates can close up your mind. The purpose of education is to keep your mind perpetually opened towards limitless possibilities!

Fred Smith saw an opportunity for overnight delivery of anything anywhere in the USA, and ultra-fast delivery anywhere in the world, FedEx was born. It will be interesting to know that Fred Smith got a grade “C” in a Yale economics class for an idea that the professor belittled as unworkable.
Fred Smith’s company became the first American business to make over ten billion dollars in annual profit. Beginning with just 186 packages delivered the first night, FedEx now delivers in over two hundred countries using over 6,030 aircraft, 46,000 vehicles and 141,000 employees.

*6. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES POSITION YOU TO LOOK FOR JOBS AND NOT FOR OPPORTUNITIES*

Our certificates and degrees prepare graduates to look for jobs and not open our eyes to life-changing opportunities. You are not poor because you don’t have a job; you are poor because you are not seeing and seizing opportunities.

Being POOR is simply Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly! What keeps people ahead in life is not their education or degrees, it is simply the opportunity that they seized. Jobs may be scarce but not opportunities.

As long as there is a problem to be solved, there will always be opportunities. It is a waste of our education, exposure, and experiences if after we graduate from school, all we think about is searching for a job. An enlightened and educated mind should be able to see and seize opportunities.

*7. CERTIFICATES AND DEGREES PREPARE PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR SECURITY AND NOT TO TAKE RISKS*

We must be willing to make mistakes and take breakthrough risks. Taking risks and learning from mistakes help us in knowing what works and what does not! When Thomas Edison was being questioned by a mischievous journalist on how he felt for having failed for 999 times before getting the idea of the light bulb, his response stunned the whole world when he confidently said, “I have not failed 999 times, I have only learned 999 ways of how not to make a light bulb”.

Many graduates and degree holders are becoming progressively poor because the skills required in the modern world to get rich are not taught in schools and institutions.

By 2025, we’ll lose over five million jobs to automation. This means that future jobs will look vastly different by the time many people graduate from the university.

*Future jobs will involve KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION/CREATION* and innovation, and people that are only equipped with skills found in the classroom will definitely be a misfit in an ever-changing world. Skills like critical thinking, creativity, people’s skill, STEM skills (e.g Coding), complex problem-solving skills etc. are central to living a more comprehensive and productive life.

THEREFORE, in conclusion, my humble and candid advice to graduates and students in institutions is to think wide, deep and outside the box. Take voluntary jobs, and don’t be afraid to navigate fields that are different from your field of learning. Your future career will require you to pull information from many different fields to come up with creative solutions to future problems.
Start by reading as much as you can about anything and everything that interests you. Once you get to college, consider double majoring or minoring in completely different fields. Trust me, it’ll pay off in the long run.

Don’t limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail; that’s a better entrepreneurship. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something political science will not teach you. Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course.

Think less of becoming an excellent student, but think more of becoming an excellent person. Don’t make the classroom your world, but make the world your classroom. Step forward and try something extra.

Invest in something you believe! Real financial security and freedom is not in your job, but in your passion, gifts, talents, and your ability to see and seize opportunities.
