Being smart includes traits like emotional intelligence (EQ), street smarts, creativity, and practical problem-solving. Many PhD holders may be world-class experts in their niche but lack basic practical or social skills, while many BSc holders are highly intelligent in real-world or business applications.

Provide facts and figures for your claims. With verifiable data, substantiate your assertion that "Many PhD holders... lack basic practical or social skills" compared to first degree holders.

a reminder from your creator

He said "... don't vote for me." He didn't say he won't run for a second term if he didn't provide constant electricity in his first term. So, it's your choice not to vote for him, but his right to contest again as provided in the Constitution.

In other words, your choice to hold the President by his pre-election statement and his constitutional right to seek a second term are not contradictory.

Just go ahead and refuse to vote for him. It's your constitutional right as well.

"Newly discovered" monkey... By white people of course in the Democratic Republic of Congo,?
The same way other white "explorers" discovered our African Rivers and wildlife?
What a joke!?

Thank you! They just love that "scientific" language: "discover"!

They "discovered" River Niger too! Mungo Park discovered the unknown river and added that useful knowledge to other spectacular discoveries of his people! They deserve a round of applause.

No. But sincerely speaking, the golden silver boat may still be available for him. Hopefully, it won't be too heavy.

It's just a pity the lady is not the actual OP. A Good Samaritan should forward the comments here to her.😄

You wey rent house to yahoo boy self na yahoo landlord you be because you will never give the house the same rate you will give to 9-5 guys.
Very soon he go de own you house rent just prepare for it

Don't mind her. She's a co-tenant. No Nigerian landlord calls a tenant "my neighbour".

Bro consult your dictionary first or use Google to browse about the meaning before telling someone that typed the word to consult his dictionary.

Olodo uprising.
Na why fg fit use una ubulu do abacha.

Since you took it upon yourself to take paracetamol for another person's headache, you might want to search for the post that your brother or sister replied to using the word "rattle". Figurative or otherwise, why should I be rattled over a public discourse that I don't have any personal stake in?

You don't just throw words around to impress people. When you do, it says volume about the quality of your education, exposure and the depth of your intellect. Yours is certainly quite shallow.

Tenses:
When the NAF and buhari government lied that a single live bullet was not shot at lekki tollgate in 2020. They were not terrible to you.

I don't trust whatsoever the NAF says. I am so sorry if it rattles you.

Rattles me? What the f! Do you know the meaning of the word? A good dictionary will come to your aid 😄😄😄😄

I really encourage those that are here doubting the supreme sacrifice paid by this soldier and others not publicly announced by the military while attempting to rescue the Oyo kidnapped victims to visit the nearest army barracks to express their conviction that there's no truth to the claims.

Nairaland is not the right place to expose the government for the "staged kidnapping". Go to the nearest army barracks or cantonment.
Thank you.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
Gunshot wound, landmine
Which particular cause of death should we take?

Baba died on 6th June during rescue operation.
Pupils were released almost a week after in a kinetic operation and the only casualty was the baba that died a week ago?

Fuji house of commotion.

So, in your almighty wisdom, there were no previous rescue efforts before the final success? Why are you heartless people so daft in addition!

Tenses:
This people would go any length to deceive people that Oyo children were rescued.

Lying with the dead.

You must be a very terrible human being! God!

May his brave soul rest in peace. Amen.

The despicable comments on this post are a testament to the potency of undiluted hatred crassly expressed when it is possible to remain anonymous.

But if it was just a case of pure hatred for the First Lady one might shrug his shoulders and say everyone has the right to despise whomsoever they don't like.

However, I suspect many of those spewing hateful comments here would not hesitate to send their account details publicly to the same woman if she chose to do "give away" like some bandits did recently. They are that shameless because they can justify it.

Meanwhile, what is wrong in a wealthy person soliciting other wealthy individuals to offer assistance to the needy?

Asking other wealthy individuals to help does not translate to not acknowledging any philanthropic efforts they may have ongoing. It's encouragement.

And philanthropic foundations are found all over the world. I may not have the facts but I think there are more charity organizations in Europe and America than any other place in the world. Interestingly, many of these Western foundations exclusively cater to the needs and rights of animals while thousands in the same "advanced" countries struggle to survive!

Don't let your mostly pretentious hatred becloud your judgement. If however you strongly believe the woman is not doing enough, ask your preferred family for the presidency to be more charitable by giving millions to each poor person as a startup fund for more decent livelihood instead of the lowly and demeaning akara and kulikuli business. I think it would just take a couple of millions of dollars to empower them and give them a better alternative like importing cars. Your preferred candidate for the top job shouldn't find that difficult.

AbosedeFalade:
The presidency orchestrated the fake kidnapping. It has now brought out the pupils and teachers where it kept them. It has been all about scoring cheap political points all along.

You're just impossible! So this is what someone reacted to and you replied you have no free attention?

So, the teacher beheaded and the grieving families were all but a cast in a propagandist movie by the Federal Government and the opposition party, PDP, in Oyo State? The troops that lost their lives while combing the forest trying to flush the terrorists out were also willing contributors to the "the fake kidnapping" "orchestrated by the presidency"?

Something must be seriously wrong with you!

And no wonder you wouldn't have"free attention" to give. Your illogical, unsubstantiated and criminal claim would be worth billions of naira in damages if you were prosecuted in a competent court of law.

Ayoola51:
Thank God ooo,
Finally they will be reunited with their families.

RIP to the dead.

But then it looks like the bandits allowed them to be cleaning up and wash their clothes.

Look at the white hijabs

They are very clean.

Although it seems something is not adding up.

But the goodnews is that they will be reunited back with their loved ones

Boko Haram and Ansaru terrorists and other violent insurgents live and have been operating in forests for years. How often do you see them very dirty and unkempt?

Do you think the abductors would forbid the older women and children to take care of themselves and the younger children while in the forest? Meanwhile it's raining season, they had access to streams and possibly rivers as they were herded through the wilderness.

The abductors could demand supplies too during the standoff.

Look! I think it's just a waste of time trying to reason with some of you on this forum!

ayodeji4christ:
But how were they feeding in the bush?
They are not really looking lean. Did government or their family members send money for their upkeep on monthly basis?
That's just my own observation. They are not looking like someone been deprived of food for days.

So, if you were their abductors, you would starve them all to death and use their dead bodies (God forbid) to negotiate the fulfilment of your nefarious demands?

Why are some of you so daft?!!! It's just perplexing!

Offpoint1:
You and me both know the government has paid their ransom.

Such rescue can't happen without some of the kidnappers being killed.

I doubt you read news from credible sources other than trash your insensitive partners feed you on NL.

davidtemi:
Thank God for life...

Staged kidnapping
Where's the sch uniforms. I thought they were all kidnapped from a particular sch??

Why are they all wearing diff clothes and not uniform?
Some on same Ankara
Who was washing their clothes in the thick bush?.
For 55 days in the bush, most of those children will give up if no proper care was given...

Just imagine yourself an insurgent with the motive of releasing your oga, your terrorist commander, from the government. If you decided on abducting school children and their teachers as your bargaining chips, would you not do everything to keep them alive in the forest? Would you find it impossible to force older victims to take care of the younger children? Would you not make it part of your operation to demand for supplies from the government and the families of your victims?

Don't be a dunce! And teach yourself some empathy. Those criminals are professional abductors. That wouldn't be their first time. They knew they could make "soft" demands and get them done and delivered while the real negotiations continued. It's not a new tactics in kidnapping cases, especially involving a large number of victims.

And for those of you who are claiming ransom was paid without any evidence, you need to get some sense. The government will not come to your house to patiently explain what had to be done to rescue those victims. A bunch of insensitive nincompoops!

SixSeven:
What people expect is for Gbaja to step aside. Because of the allegations.

How will his stepping aside assist the investigation? Will that make the investigation more credible? Will that make Nigerians who have already made their conclusions of his involvement and guilt change their minds? If he's actually involved as alleged by the fake DG, will his staying at home stop or neutralise any political interference in the matter? If he's completely innocent as he seems to imply by his statements and press releases, why should he stop working to satisfy some people when his boss has not ordered him out of his administration?

No matter how you look at it, it takes real gut to retain a suspected criminal in your administration when you're running for another term.

What I don't understand is this: How is he mocking the culture? Can you please explain? I'm not interested in the display of wealth - ill-gotten or not - just the matter of "mocking the culture". How?

How has the President cleared anybody? We can read, Mr Sowore. Or the President should just throw Ogbeni Gbajabiamila into prison together with the alleged impostor and his other accomplices without any investigation?

Oh! Okay, the President should appoint Mr Sowore to oversee the matter because he is the only honest Nigerian to unravel the national embarrassment.

That pontificating something! Don't let me get banned jare!😏🤐

Beautifulday:
Tinubu has failed to protect Nigerians on all fronts. If he is not corrupt, he will have the organisers tracked and arrested. All the money recovered.

Yes, that's the job of the President - to run after Internet fraudsters so that desperate Nigerians don't lose their money to glaring investment scams.

What a brilliant you😄

Beautifulday:
If you look into the matter well. The organisers of these schemes are in government.

Haba! Make you take this lie easy! Kai!

Beautifulday:
You are right. It is the job of the government to make starting such a scheme unattractive by getting all the people involved arrested and forced to return all the money.

How? By monitoring the Internet?

Meanwhile, have you never come across warnings to the public concerning fraudulent online investments?

Hungrychicken:
It’s the government’s fault 💯
If it was a functioning system, the people wouldn’t be search for illogical ways to make money and survive another day.

You can’t find the rich government folks falling for these type of scams, why is that?

So, there are no Ponzi schemes in Europe and America? People there have never been reported to be victims of fraudulent online investments? You're simply amazing 😄

Klington:
Tinubu and apc brought untold hardship to Nigerians,pushing everyone to desperately seek every means of survival.

Really? Including throwing your money into a very clearly defined scam? You're just wonderful 😄

fmlala:
Nigeria can never learn, and funny enough, some of the people who delved into this scheme are the ones shouting that 50k can not start Akara business but can start a ponzy business

You are very wicked 😄😄😄😄😄

smallsmall:
I thought it has been established firmly in Law, that you cant arrest a family member, for the Crime of another family member?
Are we entering a Fascist Dictatorship in Nigeria

So, a family member of an accused cannot be an accomplice?

CorrectionFLuid:
Keep defending rubbish because of tribalism.
This is supposedly a constitutional country. Where in your constitution did it say punish parents for the sins of the kids?

The inexistent African culture you even dragged into it, where did you manufacture that one from?

Even the bible you dragged into this talked about the children being punished for the sins of the father and not the other way round, but you just have to defend evil due to tribalism.

In a constitutional country, you look upon your country's constitution for guidance, not apply your own judgement and defend it by dragging in a twisted version of culture and religion.

Your type is why Nigeria can never ever be good

Where is the information that the father is "being punished" for his son's alleged crime? Were you there when the father was "arrested"? Was he forcefully bundled into a waiting car? Was he assaulted before being taken away? Have you received credible information of how police are maltreating him in their custody?

Most responses on the front page of this post are no longer that shocking, but it is still baffling how many Nigerians that claim to be educated to some extent react to news they don't have complete details about in an aggressively negative manner and openly biased!

Many are shouting "intimidation"! Who's intimidating whom? Is the father a political figure who has been using his political influence to shield his suspected son? Before this preliminary news story, did we know anything about the father? Was he probably protesting the arrest of his son in Ogbomosho or inciting sympathisers on behalf of his son?

No information like that, yet many of our discerning contributors here on this forum are already crying foul and accusing the government of "intimidation"

They want Gbajabiamila to be arrested or invited by the police. How do you know that he has not been visiting the police over this embarrassing issue? Why should he be arrested, anyway, over the claim of a desperate fraudster who understands the psychology of big scams: If you get caught, rope a big name into your crime?

The Chief of Staff does not enjoy legal immunity. When and if the time comes that the only option is to arrest and arraign him alongside the alleged impostor and his other accomplices, Gbajabiamila will not be spared. But, personally, I believe it's only a fool that would publicise his own scandal that clearly has all the ramifications of ruining him politically and irredeemably. And I don't think this Chief of Staff is so thoughtless and shortsighted that he wouldn't have buried the elaborate scam immediately attention was called to it by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the original council or agency that got its mandate stolen.

We can patiently wait for more news to ascertain the the father's role, if any, in the scandal. Or is it impossible for his family to be involved in his years of alleged fraudulent activities?

Let's remember that the primary assignment of law enforcement agencies is not explanation of their every action to the public. Too much sharing of information does not only compromise their work, it can be ruled as sub judice.

funnyDM:
Rubbish judgement!

How many of those churches burnt in the north have been compensated? I've seen churches burnt during post election violence, yet nothing was done. The church members had to contribute money and rebuilt their church.

Nigeria's judicial system is completely flawed. IMO

Who burnt the said churches? Were they identified as members of a particular religious group that could be held accountable for the arson? Did a religious group claim responsibility for the destruction and dare the government to arrest and and prosecute the attackers?

When you want to make comparisons, do so sensibly.

A so-called pastor went to the worship place of the practitioners of another religion and burnt it down. He didn't hide his identity and didn't commit the crime with a mob of unidentified arsonists. He probably announced his intention of committing the crime before he actually went ahead. He probably boasted after committing the crime that nothing would happen - most likely, spiritually. Instead of retaliating spiritually as people expected, the victims, knowing who was responsible for the arson and desecration of their worship place, took the pastor to court and provided evidence that undeniably proved that he was responsible for the attack. The court found him guilty and passed its verdict as stipulated by law.

Yet, you chose to ignore the facts and made a most insensible comparison that would not stand an honest scrutiny. For instance, what evidence do you have that those that were known to be responsible for the burnt churches were not arrested and prosecuted? What evidence do you have that the churches were not compensated by the government where the crimes were committed?

It's not too late to learn to contribute to discussions like a thinking human being.
