CBN should go and rest! There are no jobs in the country and young people are creating jobs for themselves.

The implication is that these young people have become POS agents, emptying our ATMs and selling naira they withdrew from ATMs to us.

It's interesting that both old and new naira notes are in circulation but cash is still scarce.

You are thinking like a baby

thatNUPEboy:


The fact that you taught in the polytechnic for 20 years doesn't mean jack. Even if you be Rector before joining politics, E no still mean shit. You demonstrated a clear lack of understanding. Despite attempts to enlighten you, your opinions remained uninformed. Your national TV appearance was particularly disappointing, as you seemed to focus solely on the bill's title rather than its actual content, much like our lazy polytechnic lecturers who don't bother to delve deep on topics before coming to class to impart ignorance, rather than knowledge

I would have loved to know what he taught in the Polytechnic. Was it Islamic studies?

Will the states obey this law or can they pass a different law to counter this. I'm asking this because some states will have more than 90% of its citizens in that bracket.

God1000:
General sani Abacha, the most despotic military head of state in our history

He was lucky Abacha didn't kill him, don't play with military dictators


We still have them, the likes of Vladimir Putin, Kim jong UN, Paul Biya, museveni

The Buhari civilian dministration was more wicked than Abacha but you won't hear that because the US president is happy with him. Also there are some despotic and wicked US president's in the past but they won't tell you that. It was an American president that ordered the use of atomic bomb against civilian target. In Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Watch them abuse him

Even if they don't abuse him, don't you know he is a Mumu man? He think say he wise.

The sch ke?
You will use your airtime.
That's not a problem as far as I'm concerned. We are all humans and adults, we don't need to be Told about some of these things. But why should we be compelled to do so when they can't buy us airtime?

Then that is a simple thing. Tell them you don't have money to call, that you are seriously broke even if you aren't. They can't fire you for that. If they do please leave.

Angelfrost:
That depends... Some 15 year olds are more mature than 18 year olds.

There really should be no need suppressing the genius of certain young people.

The part that should be given serious priority is the aspect of "Practical or Vocational Education".

This is what has been lacking for years now.

Are you guys even aware education is a professional sector? Most of these rules you hear were properly thought out before being rolled out. The reason for the 18 years is enormous but I will just give you one.

Now if you have a sister who is 15 and she is in the university and I have sexual act with her. You became aware and arrested me claiming your sister was a minor and her consent should be disregarded. My defense can become very easy if I claim I thought she was an adult because she was in the institution meant for adults.

That your claim of being genius is ridiculous to say the least. I've spent 25 years in the education sector and I can tell you, I've not seen a single genius in Nigeria. I have seen intelligent people though. Not every intelligent person is a genius. In education genius are categorised as kids with special needs and if that is the case, there is already provision for that. This law does not disturb that. This law is setting a baseline to enter the university. If you are in the special category, you should have documents to back it up, not just saying my mum told me I'm a genius.

nairalanda1:
Optimally 18 years is a good age to enter university

Some even say that 21 is better.

I said what I said. If you like, abuse me.

And if you like modify my comment

18-21 is best for university entrance.

Entering at 15 or 16 is just sending lamb to slaughter

What you said is not only perfectly in order but also the existing law. The minister is just playing with Nigerians if he made that statement. I just checked and the existing Policy on Education remains the same. Whoever is telling them that the age has been reduced is just making a mockery of the intelligence of Nigerians. The age for entering higher institutions remains 18.

That is nonsense. The minister, as it stands today cannot reverse that policy. Anybody telling you otherwise is just deceiving you. Nigeria is a corrupt country so even with the existing policy, it will be possible for a kid of twelve years old to be in the university. However, do yourself a favour and pick the recent "National Policy on Education" to check if the age has been reversed. No age has been reversed, so any school that choose to implement that law cannot be faulted. The government can choose to ignore the offence when committed if they like but as it stands. The law is the law.

The thing many Nigerians don't even know is that the law was not even made in this administration but in Obasanjo's administration. What this administration wanted to do is enforce it.

I heard crocodile meat sweet😋 shey na true?

Kai! It is very sweet. I pity those who haven't tasted it. It has some sort of fish-like taste.

David was a man after God's heart. He had many wives and many concubines. He committed both fornication and adultery. Yet God still loved him. Religion is our problem. Enjoy your wives Oga.

You see that palm oil business, I will not advise any Nigerian to go into that business. Before you do, ensure you have been in it for a while before exporting. E get why. Na long story wey I no fit type.

This is why I usually laugh at people that think that teaching is easy simply because they are not well paid.

phorget:
26million... I will only send my family to a more better climes, personal I will remain in Nigeria and build my idea with just 5million.

21million to get my family outside, 5million for myself.

It seems you underestimate how useless the naira is. It will cost close to 30mil or a little above it to relocate a wife and two kids.
That is if you want your wife to have a good job over there.

bigpicture001:
Which lT jobs... Abeg call it's real name... Yahoo

Oga there are IT jobs and most pay you remotely in dollars. For example Front-end programming can pay you up to 4000usd per month. There are other IT jobs UI/UX, full stack programming, virtual assistant, cyber-security and a host of others.

Zulu11zulu:
Very educative but minatry is abusing not fiscally training, beating someone is not training.

Have you seen where the US marine conduct their training? I have a cousin that couldn't complete the training, maybe you should hear from them then you will know that we are even joking here. Did you know that what we know today as terrorism or suicide mission was a form of military training given to a group of people when they were loosing the battle? Military training is intense everywhere. It is not meant for the faint hearted. The reason for people not joining has nothing to do with the training. Even in IT sector particularly programming is also not easy. There is no easy job anywhere. If it was easy, you won't be paid for it. The military hierarchy in Nigeria is so bastardised that people prefer joining the local vigilante than being a recruit in the army or police.

Zulu11zulu:
Tru when you go to other countries you will see how they train thier minatry but in Nigeria they will frug hell out of you, tell you to swim inside the gota, some people end up dieing .
That is why Nigeria army is not professional they are bunch of wicked Sue's.

Military training is tough everywhere regardless of the country. Infact compared to the USA, Nigeria military training is a joke. The big reason people no longer join and I think they know but this report systematically wants to avoid it. Is that the military is not looking for staffs but slaves. Who want to be a slave? The job is no longer a career. When you graduate from the University, you are told in clear terms that the military is not for you. The only people that can join the military with a university degree are the elite or those that can pay the huge bribe required. The result is that the elite are at the top cadre. So what they are looking for now is the recruit. In a state that have a high literacy rate, you expect to find people who will be happy to join the recruit of police or army after spending their money on education. Another reason is that no reasonable Nigerian from the south today will be happy to be working alongside Boko haram members since the military usually convert Boko haram to its members. Let them continue damaging their institution and then be pretending they don't know the reason. I think last year or so this was also an issue in Edo State during the police recruitment as no one purchased forms. They had to extend the date twice.

LadyExcellency:
Sanusi, the CBN Governor who doesn't know the difference between turnover and profit. The man who presented the presumed daily sale of crude oil of 2.1 million barrels multiplied by the prevailing crude price and expected total remittance by quoting the $20 billion deficit as missing without asking NNPC for the cost of operation and reconciling with the Finance Minister.

Infact as at that time, the man deserves to be sacked. He kept on giving conflicting figures the president man up and fired him. He was lucky it wasn't during Buhari's tenure, he would have been arrested after the sack. The man turned the office to a political one

LegendHero:
Be like say they never hear the lamentation of those Agulu Obi Elupeee people.

Na only for Naija I see where person wey come distant third go dey cry rigging.

In Nigeria someone that carried 4th have been declared governor before so it makes sense for the third position to complain about rigging.

I read an appeal court ruling banning VIO on the road from checking both private and commercial vehicles but these lots are still littered on the road! The ruling restricted them to their offices!


Why are they still littered on the road in Nigeria!

Evidence of court ruling:

In Nigeria court ruling as this is regarded as merely an advice. The only ones obeyed are those that changes the votes of the people.

Private school owners dey cash out steady

And you dey here, dey type for Nairaland, you no open school make you join them cash out?

Most of you here are really funny. Nobody is talking of the schools folding up daily. Abi una think say the economy no reach their side? Most private school owners have other jobs they engage in. If the school was that profitable, you think they Will be doing something else? Sit down and think of any school Proprietress or proprietor you know that only rely on income from the school.

Ojiofor:
Those who are trying to disarm him by force did they follow due process?

What due process should be followed? The guy is an animal and deserved everything that came his way. The gun actually fired. That guy is very mad and should be checked if he is still balanced mentally.

I'm quite good with frontend, I know html, css, Javascript(To some Extent). I need a personal tutor Based in Lagos...Ikeja, Iyana Ipaja...Abule Egba axis to tutor me as I'm finding it diffult learning on my own.
Anyone developer/ Programmer that's quite good with Javascript/typescipt, React & node js & also available to teach should please signify in the comment section, so we can discuss price & other things in details.

You are not yet good with front end of all you know is HTML, CSS and JavaScript (to some extent). You still need to know some frame work like tailwind or Bootstrap. You also need to know react and then you need node.js and a host of other things.

GanagiBitrus:
Is there really any hope of fuel price being sustained at below ₦1000 per litre, when some Govt officials reason that lower fuel price will further encourage smuggling to neighbouring countries.

You have to be well connected to smuggle fuel out of Nigeria as of today. It is the same government official saying it will encourage smuggling that is smuggling the fuel. Tinubu and his deputy knows those that smuggle fuel. I would be very surprised if they don't know.

EreluRoz:
Atheists are not well before before

How many of them are bold to come out as an atheist, they always hide but have front row seats in churches while they practice their atheist online. Example is Seun, Seun is a very prominent member of RCCG, he can't even deny it.

Can you imagine the nonsense you are typing online. It is this type of statement that is causing unrest all-over the country. So if Atheist boldly come out, will you kill them? This is also why Christians are being killed in the northern part of Nigeria and nothing happens. Continue being happy for rubbish you post. It will always come back to haunt you.

fiercehillz:
We Nigerians are quick in using downgrading words to address simple issues.

Well, I am typing from Nigeria and I left my parents' house some 8 years ago...hmm , so cliche for most people on this platform to judge people they've never met before.

To address the issue of affordability. I know things are rough and I can recall that I rightly suggested that only medical experts on this platform should diagnose and prescribe medication for the said person. This should be at no cost.

Moreover, if you know the harm misdiagnosis has done in Nigeria you won't think twice but to second my opinion.

Remain blessed.

Shalom!!!.

Misdiagnosis has done a lot of damage. I'm sure we all know that. Even the op knows that. The issue here is many can't afford to visit the hospital. If you are in Nigeria and you claim you are old enough and you don't know that majority of the citizens cannot afford hospital bills then I don't know what else to say to you.

fiercehillz:
Please it will be nice if we can develop the culture of seeking professional medical help.

A lot of persons here could easily misdiagnose the aforementioned condition and this would worsen the situation.

However, for the purpose of interactive participation and based on the fact that NL is a forum, persons proffering solutions can state their medical qualification while they mention medical facts about these conditions.

Also, Prescriptions should strictly be done only by medical experts.

Non-experts can state their experiences and give words of encouragement.

Shalom.

I want to believe you are not typing from Nigeria or you are still staying under your parents. This might be why you don't understand the reality in Nigeria. Do you think if the dude can afford health care, he will be here?

Wisdomkosi:
Madman On Rampage At Ebonyi International Market, Raping, Molesting Both Old And Young Women

By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

There is a growing tension at a popular International Market located in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Capital as a very energetic mad man is said to roaming the market, molesting both old and young women.

9News Nigeria correspondent gathered that the madman has been at the market sexually harrasing and molesting any woman he can grab at any given moment.

An eyewitness, Onyinyechi Ogah who witnessed the ugly incident and shared it on her Social Media said she was shocked after seeing the dastardly act by the mad man.

According to her, "today I witnessed one of the most heart wrenching scenarios at the Ebonyi State International market (Blue house), where foodstuffs are sold to be precise."

"A very energetic young mad man attacked an older woman, from my observation, this woman should be in her fifties. He held her by the arm, shook her violently, and would not loose his grip despite the woman's struggles and shouts from women around. He only let her go when a young man made to attack him with a wooden stool. He stepped back and seemed to derive pleasure from the woman's fearful experience."

"The women there then began to narrate to me how mad men roam around freely in the market molesting women whenever they found a victim. One narrated how, about two weeks ago, a mad man held and raped a girl who was about seven years old; she said that while he was at it, people attacked him, hitting him with anything they could find, but he still didn't let go until he had his fill...guess what, he is still roaming around unchecked, waiting for his next victim."

" No one knows the kind of emotional and psychological trauma the little girl would be facing now, not to talk of her physiological health. The same mad man was also reported to have also raped a young unsuspecting girl around St. Theresa's Catholic church Ogoja Road."

"For the past two months, there has been a very visible presence of mad people in Ebonyi State, and everyday the number seems to be on the rise."

" Is the State now a dumping ground for the unsound minds evacuated from other neighbouring states?".

"I ask this because the silence has now been inferred to mean acceptance of this current situation. This has made the public places to become unsafe for the average individual especially women and children going about their daily activities."

"One question that bugs my mind is, seeing that the international market is well fenced and gated, who lets the mad men in?."

" The group of young men who go around collecting market dues or taxes are only concerned about the money they get, they turn a blind eye on the insecurity. Why then are you taking money from poor market women when you cannot ensure that they conduct their trade in a safe and sane environment devoid of any form of assault."

"It's high time the Government of Ebonyi State takes a decisive stand and address this menace. The State ministry of environment should put in more work to see how to eradicate the disturbing presence of mad men in public places."

"A stitch in time saves nine. Our people have a saying inferred to mean that one does not throw stones in the market place. This issue should be addressed now, because we might just be saving your wives and daughters, because, dem no dey write big man wife for face, and even if you write am, mad man no fit see am."


Another eyewitness also lamanted the same thing and cried out to the state government for help.


According to him,"today at Ebonyi state International Market, while I was going from Lot 2 to lot 4 toward that axis that they sales yam, I saw a crowd of people."

"Some were chanting " mesieya ike mesieya ike" in excitement. I decided to go close to the crowd to know what's was actually going on."

" I saw a very beautiful fair tall lady with mini-skirt putting on a singlet with her nîpple boldly opened. Immediately my eyes just grasped it and I couldnt behold it. "

" She was on the floor crying. I imagined what could make a beautiful lady like her to be wéeping. I was patiently waiting only to see a màdman trying to penetrate the lady in a public. "

"She was helpless as the crowd was cheering the màdman. Her white singlet has stained already as the man tried to squeeze her bréàst. I couldn't help but to walk away."

"To this end, I think the Ebonyi state government should set a ministry to oversee the affairs of màd people in the society."

"They are In numbers in Abakaliki town roaming like a lion. They need rehabilitation and to be cared for and discriminated among the healthy one in the society."

As at the time of filing this report, efforts by our correspondent to get the reaction of the Ebonyi State government proved abortive as the message sent to the Governor's Special Assistant on New Media, Mr Leo Ekene Oketa was not replied.

The mad people are not from neighbouring states. They are from neighbouring countries. This started way back I think since the Buhari tenure. There is a cabal behind this business. I will just stop here. You can do your research and you will see how other neighbouring states solved this problem. The governor of the state should wake up to its responsibility since the federal government is sleeping.

bennybuhari:
I heard Tinubu has suspended it but I don't trust that man. He did so because of the public outcry. They will levy it codedly

Yes Tinubu has suspended it but this court case will clarify things for the future. There are a lot he said here that I didn't even know existed. Anything goes in Nigeria

The last sentence he said is true. What we have is foreigners ruling the state. Once their tenure ends they pack their bags and leave you in whatever misery they've put you in. However shuaibu was a serious disappointment. I had high hopes for him

God1000:
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.

According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians.
Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.


The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.


Happy Sunday nairalanders

You are even talking of Israel. What about Italy that houses Rome where the Pope resides? The number of Christians there is also shocking. We are not yet ready to be wise in Africa. It is very unfortunate that our forefathers (ancestors) are very much wiser than we are. It happened in our case that the glory of the former is now better than the latter
