brownlord: Arrant nonsense, opon imo abi na kpomo imo, i still do not know the brain behind aregbe's useless policy, Osun state is still the most backward state in terms of education, am presently serving here and i can say this is a wrong step by the state governor, a state where they dont have up to 3 teachers, they rely solely on corpers and OYES ( teaching practice student ) for teaching this children, in my school only 5 staff, 1 principal, 2 vps and 3 teachers, only 2 of the teachers go to school, the school is about the best in the local government and i wonder what would be happening in the rest, this is the only state that an ss3 student can not speak common pidgin english fluently not to talk of writing it down, student still sit on the ground and a few bring chairs from home, there is no desk in class, our government only engage in project that would benefit them, am sure the money he looted from the so called omoluabi uniform is finished and they looking for avenue to loot more, theres been several occasions for days there would be no chalk in school, during test and exams this children sit on the ground to write exams, why cant aregbe employ more qualified staffs/teachers instead of relying on corpers who come and go and Osun state college of education who most times they themselves cant even speak english, in my school a teacher was caught teaching english with yoruba, if i have the time i will post some script of this student test and exam on this forum for this man to be engaging in all this useless project that would not stand the test of time, in their just concluded waec, even the invigilators from waec are the one pleading with corpers to assist the student, is just a shame for people who are not in the state to be celebrating aregbe for this failed policy

phineas: It is said science has proven a known plant in africa and the amazon cures cancer in the lab at least 8-10 times faster than any known anticancer drug.problem is in excessive dosses causes parkinsons.So who defines the safe dose.

Most medical drugs are from herbs.the difference is a lot of research has gone into ensuring the side effects and doses to ensure they are safe.for every medical drug administered all possible effects and doses can be defended,thats why companies spend millions of dollars on research.

so someone by the roadside or some unknown company offers u unverified herbs to cure all.....and you buy for yourself and ur child?
I'll say "choose ur poison",but choose wisely.

edub45: Truth hurts bt I really think english sermons in the mosque will be yet another reason for muslim youth ''like myself'' not to learn arabic. ALLAH SAW has said in the quran that we have revealed the quran in arabic so can be easy to learn. The question is why dont youths strive to learn arabic the same way they do trying to learn english. For those that are intrested in english sermon visit muftimenk.co.za. And for learning arabic visit madinaharabic.com and download their pdf.

tosag: you need see the way people are trekking under the hot sun here in warri. Mehnn! Nigerians are really sufferring. Meanwhile, Uduaghan and his aides all fly first class and go about in a/c cars. The day is coming when people will enter the streets with guns, knives machete and oda weapons in revolution to this kind of bad leadership.

Itohen: The management of LAGBUS Assets Management Ltd on Tuesday said that 37 of its buses were damaged during the protest by commercial motorcycle riders in Lagos on Monday.

The company is one of the operators of buses using the dedicated Bus Rapid Transit lanes in the metropolis.

Mr. Babatunde Disu, Managing Director of LAGBUS, told the News Agency of Nigeria that in spite of the damage, no passenger was injured.

Disu said that the company was still taking stock.

Mr. Kolawole Ojelabi , the External Relations Specialist of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, another operator on the BRT lane, said five buses owned by the authority were damaged.

Ojelabi said the quick intervention of policemen prevented further damage.

He said, “Although commuters were stranded at our bus stations because ticketers were not on the ground, we commenced operation immediately normalcy returned.

Meanwhile, those who spoke with NAN condemned the action of the motorcyclists..

Mr. Oladele Banjo, a civil servant, who resides at Sango and works in Ikoyi, said he had to trek from Ikoyi to CMS because of the crisis.

Another civil servant, Mrs. Ibukun Adegbesan, said, “It is unlawful for certain people to hold the state to ransom for selfish reason.”

“The law is operational and commercial motorcyclists have to abide by it; after all some states have enforced the law and yet heads did not roll.

A banker, Mr Ralph Edet, said that the vandalism was a foolish way of protesting because the buses are for the masses.

“Nigerians should learn not to destroy government property as a way of showing their grievances because it causes a setback to the economy,’’ Edet said

NAN reported that due to the protest, most commuters were stranded while others had to trek to their destinations.

naptu2: They didn't exactly disagree. I think the disagreement part was just a bid by the journalist to hype the story. I agree with both of them.

1) I agree with Fashola. We might have the best constitution in the world, but it would be pointless if we don't change the behaviour of the people.

Constitutions are not perfect documents and there is no perfect constitution, because constitutions are made by humans who are imperfect. No matter what constitution we have, people will still find a loophole in it with which they'll do whatever they want. Should we obey the spirit or the letter of the constitution?

Furthermore, a constitution is a document that does not enforce itself. How will the people charged with interpreting and enforcing the constitution behave?

Mind you, Fashola stated clearly that he is not against constitutional change, but he believes that this should go hand in hand with behavioural change.


2) I also agree with Obi. In order to
secure compliance with the constitution and to foster peace and unity, the people must have confidence in the constitution and believe that it is fair and protects their rights and interests.

Edithamazoya: I am not a muslim but I think if this rule has not been there before now as Nigerians have been attending Hajj before now, then they should have been informed before travelling that they need male escort. The question is, did they inform the pilgrims before hajj that the need to come with a male escort? Somebody said women should not be allowed to go to such religious rites without men. I ask, as a christian, how many of our men go with their wives to Jerusalem? Lets be fair in our judgement.

The issue I see here is that every country is beginning to take Nigeria for a ride and until our government steps up and take a good stand against this, we will continue to face this embarrassment.

Tisa: I can't help but wonder how nigeria n nigerians will be if we had held on to the religions of our ancestors rather than the two imported religions that has given way to the prevalence or everything bad in our societies.

I know we will want to say things like "God forbid" but truly most of the evils happening today would not be happening if people know they will receive instant judgment from the likes of Sango, Ayelala, Ogun, Amadioha etc. Imagine a pastor violating an 11yrs old girl in the name of deliverance or the common wasting of lives in the name of money rituals. I know in Yoruba land that if someone was killed unlawfully by another person, the family of the dead can summon the spirit of the dead relative to go torment n kill those that committed such evil against it hence hearing of people being killed in those days was rare but these days the family of the dead will "leave it to God to Judge".

I think all this looting by our politicians, robbing of innocent motorists by latsma or is it lastma, ritual killings, religious robbery etc are all common cos the perpetrators know they can ask GOD for forgiveness b4 they die and will be forgiven hence d dead person died in vain.

What do u guys think? I think we shd retrace our steps cos it seems these two imported religions doesn't suit us.

Please I want us to debate this as matured people. Make ur case with good points and don't let's resort to abusing ourselves. We need to move forward as a people. Since I was a todler people ve been hoping nigeria will get better, praying and fasting and now as old as I am we are still praying and fasting, that's 2 generations o. It shd n MUST stop!

Thanks.

oge4real: I still do not understand why Nigerians react as if coins is a curse. If England, America, Australia and other developed economies of the world still use coins, why then is that we are so afraid?
