This is not uncommon with the nigerian politicians. Some pay their children's undergraduate fees abroad for the duration of the program, with a proviso that they will pay the school extra fee if the school fees increases within the duration of the four year undergraduate programme

The simplicity of the office for me. See how simple, neat and sharp the place is. Our typical government office here would be filled with ugly looking furniture and cabinets with thick curtains, occupying precious space with sycophants hangers-on staff looking at the men that are having discussions

Sundaymessi:
Some of you can be a very big joke. No state of emergency can make you to remove an elected governor. The governor got his mandate the same way Tinubu got his mandate.

With this your comment, the joke is on you!!!.

It seems you just started following politics of the fourth Republic

Government should stop wasting money in building quarters for judges and top civil servants. Of what benefit are those buildings to the people? Those top civil servants should sort out their accommodation themselves, just like any other Nigerian. Public funds would be spent to build exotic mansion for corrupt people while public infrastructure like schools, hospitals and markets would be looking like a ghetto.

FreeSpirited:
Paying above 500k for primary school children is pure waste of money
Paying above 600k for Secondary students is waste of money.
.
Abroad ...it's even free

You are WRONG!!!

If you have money, please send your ward to the best of schools

I know a man that the son and daughter finished at the Jesuit owned school in Lagos. The schools fees per session is close to N3.5m and he had two kids there then.

Those his two kids are very smart. I interacted with them whenever they were on vacation. Their forward thinking, attitude and characters are top notch. Both are first year University students in the US now.

I usually use them as role model for my kids.

Remember the network of friends your kids got to build when they attend top notch schools.

SA guys will descend on him

Just watch the comments from SA people on twitter and other social media about the incident.

Nigerians and observance of religious rights and rituals, yet, very far from God and righteousness in their acts and intentions.

Next week, Wednesday, the Christians will start their own 40 days of fasting. We pray that the fasting will translate us into a people, committed to the progress of our nation, people and families. Amen!

Akpabio should play the CCTV footages in his house. He was accused of taking Natasha round his house. His CCTV should have captured the meeting if he had any CCTV. I expect the luxury house to have one, anyway. He should have a way of countering the woman. I am sure he and his advisers are preparing a robust response with concrete evidence. Reno or FFK may be incorporated to manage the PR Part of it with unrelentles attacks on natasha. Lots of people will go behind to start digging her past and I hope she doesn't have any skeleton in her cupboard.

You forgot, "Edidi Lane". These were the bases of nollywood marketing and distribution. Ossy Afason was a collosus then, a giant sponsor of Nigerian movies.

Nigerians and this habit of writing fake stories. An "Executive in the bank" and at same time, living in a "tiny" apartment in Lagos??

tunapawizzy:
most Nigerians living in the US do not fall under the targeted groups for this. Most Nigerians came in through the airport and as such have I-94

This what most people up there didn't understand

The policy is targeted mainly at undocumented migrants coming through land borders from Mexico and Canada. 99% of Nigerians that are illegal in US arrive via airport and were duly documented when they entered the US. Their only crime is that they have overstayed but the homeland security still have their records that they came into the country.

Mehn, see CAF response.....that was epic!!!

I like it when people use figures and numbers to win arguments. Even in your CVs and resumes, use numbers to quantify your achievements. It's always an upper cut to whoever is reviewing or comparing your achievements or whoever is arguing with you.

Use of numbers, graphical illustrations and pictures tells more stories than writing a ten - page document.

As long as it legit, I support you, brother. Poverty makes one to take some irrational decisions. The Oyibo woman must have supported the guy, which in turn, the guy is assisting his family to escape Poverty. The house in the background looks new and the guy may have sent the money the family used to build the house. I have seen cases of such unions in my village and the union automatically changed the whole family of the guy from wretchedness to above middle class.

Including their dog o I just watched the new on BBC

Some of these celebrities goes through a lot, emotionally and suffers from serious mental illness

What must have caused their deaths?

Transaction man - everything to Trump is business and deal. Good thinking

Expect to see wealthy men and their families from Middle East, Russia, China and Far East scrambles for the visa.

This visa category used to be in the region of $300k to $500k, which lots of Nigeria CEOs obtained the US passports with

I know a business man that did that and I asked him why and he said he needed the US passport to avoid requesting for visa on each time he needed to travel to Europe, US and many other countries. The mobility that the US passport offers is second to none.

SultanOfAbia:
If Putin want to be a Hero for life

He should send 3 Russian Ballistic Nuclaer Missile directly to this APC gathering...

That singular act will make Putin the Hero of Africa and the Hero of the world.

Infact i will worship Putin morning and night if he strike these gathering of thieves

Will their deaths change your present condition?

Sometimes, wishing people dead may not be the best option as long your condition is not improved by the death of that person.

Laid back, arm chair Professors without any original work of their own. I was expecting him to show us a research carried out to disprove the former guy's claim. Nigeria's lecturers could be annoying with their "I too know " posture without concrete evidence. Just text book theory and hypothesis. He should carry out original research on combustion of fuels of different compositions and analyse the rate of combustion and state other factors likely to affect the rate of combustion of a particular fuel.

Useless associations that add no value. Africa likes giving Nigeria this kind of leadership role so that Nigeria will use her resources to fund the inconsequential associations. I am sure Nigeria's resources will be used to run the association without any commensurate benefit to the country

Even in saner clime!!!

I see where the pain is coming from.

El Rufai must have felt bitter and used.

Tinubu knew why he dropped him

BAT likes royalty and he did not see that in El rufai, despite his much touted help towards making Tinubu's presidency a reality.

Like him or hate him, BAT get guts.

For him to drop El rufai, BAT saw that the man was already a spent force and could not be of help again to him.

Scholz seems eager to leave the stage. He is simply tired and the fear of working with Trump is unnerving. He was low on the ranking going into the polls. Trump never liked the guy and he was rooting for his exit. Trump would have loved the far right party, Alternative for Germany to win. But since AFD didn't win, he would be happy with CDU"s Merz to take over.

She get mind.

Wike is not shifting ground. He is not ready to back down for Atiku. I am surprised at Wike's boldness. No politician from the South has been this bold to challenge a powerful northern establishment. The man isn't backing down anytime soon for PDP. He would destroy the party within and ensure that the party is not united as the build up towards 2027 gathers momentum. Those thinking that BAT would loose the 2027 general elections should check their thinking faculties again.

Sounds nice of you .. that you more than compensated for the accident. Did.you ever try getting an update on how the victim been managing since? ... has she been going through difficulties as a result of the accident? If you didn't.. ..maybe you should.

@ topic ... did they know the guy to be a Yahoo guy? ...or is it because of the car? The student is killed ... the driver without a license nor insurance ... what happens next? ...a heartfelt apology to the victim's family and she moves on with her life? Is the Police involved in the matter? ..mif they did...would they be interested in holding her accountable? ...or laying hands on the Yahoo guy to extort him? From top to bottom ... people are not held accountable for their actions ... "was a mistake ... everybody make mistakes .. judge not.

I didn't try anything, knowing fully well how some Nigerians behaves and her family members that came to hospital to see her. If I had followed up, they would be "milking " me on regular basis. They called me for money for a follow up check in another hospital and I sent. They did same for the second time, I sent. On the third time, I told them to bring her to the former hospital that I took her to, that treated and discharged her, they refused and I quietly blocked them. I told the Physio that treated her about the calls from her family and he told me nothing serious and that she would recover without any further treatment. He gave me a copy of her discharge by the hospital. Don't ever have case with people that would use you as an ATM. Lots of people are hungry in Nigeria and if they perceived you as being able to put food on the table, you would be their "maga"

so how far with the stubborn girl

It didn't work out - I moved on and she did.

Similar thing almost happened to me in 2012. My "stubborn" girl didn't hear word. I would go and pick her on Saturdays from where she was doing computer training. On our way back to my house, she would insist on driving the car and I would stupidly be guiding her. On that fateful day, she lost control and hit an "agbo-jedi" Seller that was walking on her own. The lady fell on the road with her load scattered everywhere. Thank God, the incident happened within my area and most people recognised me and offered assistance. I took the injured lady to the hospital and paid for all the wares she had on her pan. It was a very bitter experience. To tell you how funny some people are, her family even wanted to " cashout" from me, despite my treatment of the girl in a highly rated hospital and huge compensation for loss of her goods. The goods didn't even miss as passers-by gently picked everything on the road, except the one inside bottle that got shattered.

*Anything Rape... Leave it for the descendants of oduduwa*

I feel sorry for you. So, sex discrimination is the same as rape

The so called woman had nothing to pin against the man and used sex discrimination as her only line to sue the man, knowing how biased the UK court and system is towards the male gender.

I don't know why some ignorant people mentioned banking. As a young graduate, if you enter the banking system as a full time staff in a good department like treasury, financial control, corporate audit, internal services, corporate affairs, investors relations, legal, human capital, investment banking, private banking or within the office of the group managing director, you are already on the part of career success. It's left for you to learn as much as possible within those units and continue to develop and deepen your capabilities. The pay is equally sufficient to cater for your needs and if you are good with money and rises through the ranks in your organisation, you should be able to build your house, get a good car and live a decent life, far above the average life in Nigeria. From there, opportunities could be opened for you in other sectors when you must have spent 7 to 10 years in the banking, learning and developing your self.

Their stupid followers will start defending their masters. Leave these politicians alone. They are only interested in elections. Who is El rufai threatening? Tinubu? He is not serious. Nothing will stop Tinubu in 2027 except himself. If you think that Tinubu will lose 2027 election as a sitting president, you are day dreaming. Jonathan was a one off event which will never happen again

Read his message carefully; Soludo has promised him the APGA ticket in 2029, after Soludo must have done his second tenure. Ozigbo is aware that unseating Soludo in the governorship election would be extremely difficult. It would be better for him to wait and take the APGA ticket in 2029 than to contest now and loose woefully. Soludo did the same during his own time. He left PDP to wait for the APGA ticket, which he clinched and went on to win.

Was the man sleeping for the wife to have cut off the penis? Do you know the efforts and time required to hold a prick and cut it off. The man must have been on ogogoro for the wife to have done the cutting.

Tech is getting to saturation point - it has gotten to saturation point in Nigeria and it is about to become surplus in the western world, except if you possess an exceptionally cognitive ability and skills in the emerging tech world like AI and Precision science and engineering. Even at that, the competition is stiff as those areas doesn't require much human to work in that space. I had to advice someone that completed a program in automation in Canada to move to Practical nursing. I am glad he did and he is completing his 2 - year diploma in Practical nursing and currently have a job in a Youth shelter home as a support worker. While doing his automation program, he never got any job as a student and was becoming frustrated. He still did not get job when he finished the Automation program. If you intend to study abroad, go for programs with job prospects instead of those with beautiful names without any prospect of securing job in a typically white - dominated sector.
