From many of the comments here from so-called youths, I see why our politicians do evil in broad daylight and get away with it.

Many Nigerians are so ignorant. And yet they are so persuasive in their ignorance.

Keep burying your head in the sand, Nigeria.
A people truly deserves the leaders it gets.

Produce more doctors?

Just like that?

The same lecturers you impoverished?
The same lecturers with whom you couldn't keep a 2009 agreement in 2022?
The same lecturers you denied 8month salaries when they dared talk about the agreement?
The same universities you've ran to the ground? All in the bid to promote the myriads of universities set up in every corner by politicians

The best time to sack him is before AFCON. Peseiro and Nigeria can't take anything out of this AFCON. On the contrary, the camping before and during the AFCON (even if we are booted out at the group stage) can provide precious scarce opportunity for a new coach to kickstart/implement his ideas in the team before WCQ resume

Good news? Really?
You presume Nigeria can beat Rwanda. These same eagles?

Looking at the pic of this textbook, I can almost perceive again...
the smell of fear mixed with perspiration...
the smell of newly sharpened pencil and sight of inked-soiled hands...
the smell of our lunch neatly arranged in a wooden crate at the side...
the unexplainable mixture of respect and equal trepidation for our class teacher who "sees all, knows all and can do all"....

Thank God for God.
We've come a long way.
We might not be where we want to be but we are certainly not where we used to be.

Shame on those who rejoice in the misfortunes of their fellow men

It is worrisome that our leaders think/believe we should trust them.

It is more worrisome what our leaders take us for.

Succeed first!

Lawless individuals. Orderly society.
Wasteful citizens. Accountable government.
Corrupt followers. Incorrigible leaders.
The magic most Nigerians long for.

No one can or should talk like this, let alone one who identifies as a pastor.
You don't own your breath or your life. You are not even in control of your heartbeat rate or if it beats at all. How much less another man's destiny. Let's even forget the future of a whole nation that you think is in your pockets.

BTW, I'm neither for Obi, Atiku or Tinubu. I just want a nation that works.

Does the failed California railway justify the trillions wasted by a country that is perpetually in dire need of infrastructures and resources?
Consistently, our politicians are quick to sift through an ocean to find a rare incident overseas that can justify their own perpetual evil. While they are quick to mention the relatively higher cost of accomodations, taxation and healthcare fees abroad, they are forever blind to the functional infrastructure, sacrificial leadership, zero tolerance for corruption in public office holders that litter societies abroad.

And please who created the present realities?

There are least 35 persons designated as social media and content creators.
And someone is still asking what he wants to do with that many?
The man has even told you what he will do for the next 4 years.
Illusions, apparitions, make-believe and world-class propaganda.

If you are still confused, get your own aides. Compulsorily, you will need these two...visual and hearing aids

Mumbled list.
Reorder and acquire.
Skills, job, wife.
In that order.

VinnyBaba:
So Remi is a 2ND or 3RD wife, but RCCG made her a Pastor?

The public records state that the first wife of BAT is dead. A widow or widower is free to remarry and, whoever marries such is not living in disobedience to God. In that case, the church has not erred in ordaining the first lady as pastor in 2018.
I know Nigerians are angry and quick to look for who to blame for our government's generational ineptitude. But you definitely cannot hold the church responsible for the authenticity or otherwise of public records in a nation where what constitute facts depend on who is reeling them out and for what purpose. The church can't be Inspector General of Nigeria when public office holders twist records and change narrative at will and yet, are never short of an adoring throng of praise-singers.

By the way, it never ceases to amuse me that many people who expect a higher standard of morality from the church are ironically at the forefront of whittling down the involvement of the church in personal and national lives. It reminds one of those parabolic children in the marketplace who complained to their mates, "we played wedding songs for you, you didn't dance; we played funeral songs, you didn't mourn".

Sincerely this looks great. If only IVM has more service centres, I personally would prefer his vehicles to the so-called tokunbo.

GloriousGbola:
It actually is more a matter of will than anything else

As a matter of principle application software companies make their software free for students. All you need is a. Edu email. Then you need a computer lab. A smart dean will source used high end pcs from abroad. Then it is just a matter of setting it all up.

However most of our papier machie squishing deans are too mentally lazy to move outside their comfort zone, so here we are.

We recently acquired in my faculty a digital innovation studio with just 6-8 computer workstations (with server, software, inverter backup). It took some generous alumni to produce the 8million that made this a reality. So otherwise, you expect the dean of faculty to cough out 8m? From his own pockets or salary? Or he should use his children's school fees? After all, he is the father of education in Nigeria.
You can't eat your cake and have it. Education is expensive. As long as Nigerians want social or welfare education, our institutions of higher learning will continue to "teach social studies instead of government and intro tech instead of physics".
Nigerians don't even care anyway. It's almost as if no one really expects you to be able to defend the certificate you are holding-just have one. All media outlets and persons on the street were talking about the ASUU strike while it lasted, everyone went haywire when government promised to increase ASUU salary and subsequently took to the courts to force them back to work. Well, it's been almost a year since then without the government keeping their promise and yet, no word from parents, newsmen or even students. Until the next strike action.

IyaTola:
The bolded if you don't do it in Nigeria today, you will die with nothing to show for it as a University Lecturers. Your Senate Collect hardship allowing, Newspaper Allowance, so lecturer should not collect handouts allowance.

You say what you know. But you can't be farther from the truth.
It's not surprising, though. Anyone who is alien to the Grace to say no to those atrocities you earlier listed as normal cannot have these your fears banished by the same Grace.
Peace to you.

IyaTola:
Since it's a Federal Poly, it the best because with 150k gross, having time for yourself cannot be over-emphasized
1. As a Federal lecturer, you can sell hand outs with reckless abandon (profit gotten from handouts can set up a business center, see 5 for further details).
2. Your grades are for the highest bidder especially when you set difficult questions.
3. You have opportunities for the students to do your bidding if you get my drift.
4. You can choose to come to class if you so wish.
5. Students MUST use your shop/business center for their photocopies and project work
6. Unlimited access to ladies skirts
7. Job security is guaranteed because you can falsify your age to prolong your stay in service.

Disadvantage
1. Strikes
2. Inability to send your kids (born and unborn) to private school

However, for private organization and a multinational at that, you have to be at your "A" game every time.
- Target's must be met
- Opportunity to grow in your career path
- Attending courses is a MUST
- Benefit package is rewarding


Demerits
1. Working late's nights to meet targets
2. Travelling a lot
3. Spend little or not time for family
4. No job security because you could be laid off

Conclusions:
Choose multinational over federal ploy because of strike, once you retire, to collect your pension na war
Kindly confirm if the 350k is net or gross

Why would you (and judging by the many likes you got) and many Nigerians berate, curse and abuse lecturers who "do the above listed things" when obviously you think these are normal or standard? And don't tell me you don't you think it is. That is the only reason you will use this as the basis of advice to someone considering two options.
Do we really have a right to demand that others do the right thing while we ourselves wouldn't do the same?
Do I really have the right to be angry with politicians who allow shoddy jobs after collecting kickbacks from inflated contracts while I as a lecturer also asked students to buy handouts rather than teach them? Both of us have simply used our positions for our personal advantage/advancement.

Hopefully we'd find new hidden gems in the mold of Osimhen,Iheanacho and Awoniyi. We pray for your victory,if not for Naija's sake but for the sake of your respective families.

WOW! Thank you for that last line. Now I've found a more genuine reason to continue supporting our national teams.

Indeed, He has given them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient

DenreleDave:
The book of Power chapter 1 vs verse 1: At the mention of Tinubu, all igbos, Ip0bs, Biafrans and Obi supporters shall bow and tremble.

Chapter 1 verse 2: For Tinubu alone is greater than or equals to the entire Igbo tribes home and abroad..

Verse 3: Tinubu shall call one Igbo man and 50 million igbos shall answer him.

Verse 4: For without Tinubu, there is no salvation or freedom for the entire Igbo tribes

Verse 5 which is the end: Any igbó that call upon the name of Tinubu shall be save. For Tinubu name alone is a strong tower and a place of comfort for the entire Igbo tribes..





Please you people should not attack me.. It is just a joke ooooo....

Purely jokes... Notin so serious..

I am single and I need an Igbo girl please.. She must be beautiful, well behaved and not a bigot with breast and appealing Ass

You turned a book regarded as sacred by at least one billion persons alive into a plaything and yet you call it a joke.
I fear to think what you are capable of when you consider yourself serious.

I didn't fancy Tinubu before the elections but sincerely I have been awed by his demeanor and choice of words since being declared winner. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about many of his supporters. In the end, the greatness of the nation (not didn't I tell you so) should be our goal, irrespective of party affiliation.

Britishcoins:
Pls my fellow Nairalanders, I am in confused state of mind right now... I am in my early 30. I am not super rich but I am financially comfortable, at least living in my own apartment and having a business that give me atleast 600k monthly.
I am equally the first son and my parents are late, so I am like the head of the family to my younger ones...
Age is no longer at my side and I have no reason why I am still single.. But there is a problem.
I have plenty female admires.. Even some which was suggested for me through families and friends.. But only 2 of them I will talk abt now

Let me call one of them Judith and the other one IFEOMA.
Judith is from from the same local government with me.. I knew her when she was still in secondary school and I was apprentice then... I don't even know what was called love then.. We only greet like brother and sisters because we are in far away north then.
I have relocated to another state and she too is now undergraduate, studying nursing at uni zik Awka. I normally call her because I was in good term with her mother.. She feel in love with me. But my own fear is that I am not sure if she will understand the language of hardship. She was only Dauther and last born, the family is average comfortable.
The only thing she always rely most is her beauty... She is so beautiful no wonder she just won a beauty queen competition, the sun newspaper even carry the news.. But her beauty is not what attracted me..
Last December I visited her parent with just one of my uncle and they welcomed us very well..
Another issue is that she still have abt 4 years to finish her education.. And I don't want to waste more than 2 years ahead.


Now let me talk abt IFEOMA. She is from Nsukka, very far from my local government.
She is living with her sister here in the same state I am staying...
She is 25 and years and Judith is 22 years.
She is NCE holder.. Based on my findings so far she is good in business and came from a poor family too.. She is equally a virgin, I am very sure of it..
She not too beautiful but have showed her love to me... The problem is that I have no feelings for her.. But I love her hard working..
I am planning to invite Judith to spend some weeks with me to understand her characters.

Pls I don't know how to write more..
Which one should I marry?

I am sorry my friend, but you are already showing clear signs of lacking the most important ingredient to a good home- committment. Do you love me more than these? Would you leave all other women and cleave to me?
If you find this difficult now (while it's supposed to be "sharking" you), I fear to think what it will look like in 7 years time.

JustANairlander:
So I have this friend of mine, that invited me to the church I am attending right now


Normally I don't go to church regularly, and when I do, it's mostly crossover night

To cut the long story short, this guy invited me to his church for crossover in which I attended. I kinda like the church programme and I decided that I'm going to start going to church regularly this year. I started sunday service with them since the second sunday of last month


But last sunday, I couldn't find my guy in church, I called him after service and asked why, he simply said he was cashless and he can't come to church without offering, I simply said okay.


Today I chatted him up again, he said it's under maybe, if he will come to church tomorrow because of offering (naira scarcity)


NOW MY QUESTION IS: IS NON PAYMENT OF OFFERING AN ENOUGH REASON TO SKIP CHURCH DUE TO THIS NAIRA SCARCITY?


Kndly push this to front page for more participation

Your friend has done his part-he invited you to church.
You have tasted of God yourself-Can money pay for or stop you from His goodness?
Every man will answer for himself.

MrColdsweat:
For a candidate to nullify the votes of an opposition in his stronghold, all he has to do is to overvote.

Oh dear! This gave me cold sweats, MrColdsweat. Never thought of this

Ikemba007:
No, it does not.

However, it says it can only pay all entitlements of the lecturers if universities become fully commercialised and revenue generating. How else can universities generate revenue

Now you have your answer @cheaphomes1.
I'm really curious to know the connection you are trying to make with...
"Does FG pay lecturers salaries from school fees generated?"

It's amazing how Nigerians can make claims and build entire arguments on personal opinion or simply on what they believe or wish to be true.
