As a man, once you are with your family on the Nigerian roads, please don't show any stubbornness with those on the streets - the police, agberos or touts. Just hail them, settle and move on. It doesn't worth it exposing your family to danger while arguing with a drunk policeman or touts. I still remember the case of a man, whose son, got killed by a police bullet, as the man tried to evade the police

Fantastic!!!, especially regarding mathematics and measurements

modern maths is about ratios, percentages, fractions, decimals and measurements

All other topics in mathematics for Junior secondary should be discarded.

For you to study some science courses like nursing and allied health courses in Canada, you would required to present an evidence of good understanding of MTH11, which is basically ratios, fractions, percentages and measurements.

Some topics in mathematics in Junior secondary school needs to be discarded immediately and focus more on topics that have real life applicability like ratios, percentages, conversions, measurements, sharing and monetary calculations

Africa and spirituality

We have to take sciences and research seriously in the continent

It is through science that questions and puzzles are answered

My uncle told me a story of what happened in our village in the mid 50s, when one powerful man was being buried.

The whole village was in the square for the burial of the powerful man and all of a sudden, the sky started getting cloudy and darkened in broad day light.

Everywhere was enveloped in total darkness and before you could say anything, everybody abandoned the burial and picked race.

He ran from where the burial ceremony was taken place down to his home, likewise other people.

Within a short time, the sky started opening up again and the whether started being brighter and the day fully returned.

The event that happened that day was a big puzzle throughout the village and everything was linked to a deity and how powerful the deceased was during his life time.

It was not until he entered the prestigious Government College, Umuahia that he understood, in their geography class, that what happened in our village that very day was a mere eclipse of the sun and no deity or "arusi" was involved in the darkness that enveloped the whole place during that burial

The dynamics have changed, indeed.

I doubt if Obi would be able to garner the same six million he got in 2023, with APC now in control of the former strongholds of LP and fully "determined" to retain power for BAT. Obi has lost momentum, no doubt

Finnland wey no get prison - their prison na five star hotel

If they are serious, they should deport him and send him to prison in Kuje or Kirikiri

Enemy of my enemy is my friend

Aligning with Western or Eastern block, which one is better?

After saying goodbye to their families, they ended up like this. I understand that thousands of dollars are usually paid to the smugglers. If they have that kind of money, why not invest in something better at home than taking the risk of going to Europe

Can we see any of your installations, I mean real life installations of the roller shutters?

Why mention Manchester United? Did the club had anything to do with the sacking of the two coaches?

Nobody is talking about the brave vigilante that was shot dead, trying to mount a rescue operation for the family. Sometime, i feel sorry for the vigilantes. They have proven to be more audacious and brave than the regular security personnel

Make Ibeto no disappear after pulling down the existing structure

This is what typical Nigerian contractors are known for - pull down existing structure and take years to put a new one.

Well-to-do Nigerians would always take Nigeria first before US. This is a known fact.

If you have the money, Nigeria remains the best - you can practically afford anything you want.

But in the US, most rich Nigerians cannot afford to pay for the things they take for granted in Nigeria.

Above all, most rich Nigerians finds it difficult adapting to the structured life styles in the western world because they are already used to the Nigeria's life styles.

I am sure all these statements from the north are as a result of the fall out of the decisions of the major political parties, the APC and PDD, to zone the presidency to the south. The last NEC decisions of the PDP in Ibadan rattled the North. The PDP decision ultimately handed the PDP presidential ticket to BAT.

I admire this Nkubi and his wife, especially.

It is not easy o - the woman is strong, honestly

Soldiers should be deployed there immediately before the kidnappers and terrorists arrives.

This is equivalent to having broken down vehicle on an express way, in the middle of no where

Wike on this one

You have to give him the credit - this has been his intention all along - to get PDP to endorse BAT.

Which candidate in the south, under PDP, can challenge BAT? The PDP that had their meeting in Ibadan already knew that BAT would be their candidate in 2027 and they may not present any candidate for the election

I think the outcome of the 2027 election is already sealed - do not just argue or get angry. This is politics

Hedonisco:
Nigeria is a sad place. Imagine divers negotiating to receive N400k before agreeing to retrieve someone's body after an accident.

Tufiakwa. Useless country.

The Divers owe you nothing, neither to the family. Its the failure of government to equip the emergency services to perform their jobs that you should blame. Why are they called Marine police?

That rant from Taribo was unnecessary. People are here attacking the government because of their hatred of the government. Taribo was just being stupidly emotional. If Rufai asked for assistance in their WhatsApp group, he should not use it to make mouth. After all, people in my WhatsApp group, especially, Old students association, do request for assistance from members of the group that are better off. Adorning your country's national Jersey is a privilege and not a right, neither is it a favour to your country. The Nigerian State owe you nothing as a sports person after your retirement. As long as you got your reward and pay while in active service to your nation, you have no case against your country if you later went broke in life.

All these people, once they are in public or invited to a public fora, they would want to say what they think will resonate with the audience. How did he think that the proposal was feasible? How is the control and command structure going to be worked out? Single currency may be considered but not putting all the African States being under one commander -in- chief. The guy is just being mischievous. Even his fellow countrymen in South Africa would disagree with him. He should have focused on the rule of law and justice in the continent than that his unworkable proposal

Dalohad:
Again, the pay is not the same, the level of responsibility is not the same.

An MLT even with 30 years experience would still need to go back to school to become a Lab Manager or Director.

Go on the LinkedIn and read their profiles.

You are still getting what I meant, wrong. I am NOT talking about who earns more or not. I am talking about the one with ease of Nigerians in Canada, trying to do a program, with ease of getting job. Job adverts for medical laboratory technicians are more, compared to graduate level medical laboratory science. I also said if you have the money, you could go ahead and do the five - year program.

Dalohad:
The 2-3 year Diploma program makes you Medical Laboratory Technician

The 5-year BMLS program makes you a Medical Laboratory Scientist and open doors to the UK IBMS, Canadian CSMLS, Irish ACSMLS, European CORU, Japanese MHLW.

Big difference in professional expectations and pay..

If you do the 5-year MLS program, and write the US licensure exam American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) exam which can be written from outside the USA, US hospitals and employers can employ on the H1-B visa right from Nigeria.

The 2-3 year MLT program done in Schools of Health Technology can't get you that opportunity. Though you will readily get a job in Nigeria.

Stop giving advise on issues where you have limited knowledge, it misleads young people.

Comprehension seems to be a problem here. My advice is meant for people that are in Canada or the US or Nigerians intending to go and study medical laboratory sciences in Canada or US. Please take time and read again.

This program seems quite sought after in Canada. If you want to study it in Canada or US, study the 2 year diploma program in medical laboratory technology. Don't waste your time with any 4 or 5 year medical laboratory science to get the degree. The diploma program can still land you a good paying job. But if you have the money, you could go ahead with the bachelor's degree

INTERPOL wouldn't have issued this kind of statement. Immediately I read, "discredited EFCC", I knew that the jargon above was written by a typical Nigerian journalist. INTERPOL can never discredit national institutions of member States. Certain words and sentences construction are not acceptable within an international organisation.

Nigerian officials were in hotels with their imported ............

Government officials would go to conferences but hardly participate in sessions. They would be holed up in their hotels, snapping pictures in city's monuments and visiting parks, forgetting the main reason why they went there in the first place. This is very much applicable to government agencies and civil servants

symbianDON:
Are there compassionate judges in Nigeria? Just asking.....

Yes, Justice Egbo - Egbo and Justice Inyang

Two most controversial Justices in Nigeria's judicial system

See someone's son

I am sure there wasva joy in this one's home when he was born and thanksgiving may have been offered to thank God for the bouncing baby boy. Parents should be held accountable for some of the later years characters and behaviour of their children

But he is a smart man, with business chains both in Nigeria and abroad.

See people fathers and grand fathers

This Ned is just funny! I cant wait to join the Nigerian politics or be a hangers -on, at least

Why was he afraid to put his hands round his wife's waist? Him come dey fear.

Everyone is trying to cash out on the inefficiency of the Nigerian State. Once any country or company senses an opportunity in Nigeria, they lock in. Hundreds, if not thousands of Nigerians, makes trips to East African countries on regular basis. Some will have to transit through another country before getting to Tanzania, Zanzibar or Kenya. With this, the flight would be direct. This is a route a working Nigerian Airways would have been operating.

All these poor African countries with large land mass, looking to get more money from the West and middle east. What future would the settlers envisage in a landlocked country like South Sudan in the future?

Rwanda recently collected millions of pounds from the British government to host illegal immigrants, which the court in UK has blocked the deportation, stating it was illegal to send the refugee to a third country. Rwanda no send as they are enjoying the millions of pounds that poured into their economy from the deal.
