Stop posting fake news.. Any School after 1940 is not applicable.
I still stand at No. 24 here. We ain't joking. We never did. Third oldest in the former East after Government College Umuahia (Fisher High School) and Methodist College, UzuakoliNos 17 and 19 respectively
WeddingParol: This list shows the foundation of education in Nigeria.
Most of those schools educated people from all over Nigeria without prejudice to their origin.
Very true. At No. 36 on the list stands Aggrey Memorial College. Beyond being my school of tutelage, many a genius and men of iron passed through that school from various parts of this formerly great corntree
MaziObinnaokija: good Job boys.These Military boys should come to Biafrans land.Enuf is Enuf of IPOBIDIENTS, UGM,ESN TERRORISTS here
The few that tried got decimated. Igbo no dey fight like aboki, reason they fought the whole Nigeria and their foreign supporters and held them for 3 years. Even the real infantry on ground know their boundaries. First come first collect. Dey play.
Originalsly: Hmmm..... I thought I was the only one! ... I have very close friends and relatives there ... always trying to convince me to visit... but for the same reasons I wouldn't!... can't recall seeing a photo of a bright and sunny day... like always overcast ... gloomy ... snowing or raining!... and the people seems to have no joy in their life! ... seems depressing to me! I'm not one bit surprised by what is mentioned in this post!
Lol. This my last trip in May this year has been the only time I saw daylight and brightness that extended into night. All my other trips I have always flown into dark gloomy weather which sort of continues all day round. Funny country indeed.
RaptorX: Do you know how many Nigerians travel regularly to the UK and come back without staying there, what are you talking about get a visa first. Before this current japa trend Jandon(London) was just a Lagos extension that people go and come back in days.
My last trip about two weeks ago was the longest I have stayed because I did not travel alone and it was personally sponsored. We spent 6 days and left on the 7th. Typically when my office funds my trip, I have never stayed beyond 3 days (even though my MD will be encouraging me to spend a little bit more time)
Travelling is not exactly a biggie and I can understand if anyone has a kind of negative feeling about the UK. My experience has taught me that they are some of the most unfriendly people you could ever meet (except perhaps you move further to like Birmingham, Manchester, etc). I recall trying to ask a few guys at Chancery lane where I could convert some dollars to pounds ( I had exhausted what I changed at Travelex when I touched down), the guys just dismissed me and at the same moment went their different ways. I learnt to always be self sufficient and never ask anyone for direction. I learnt the train routes by force and had sometimes ended up in the opposite direction of where I intended. Always ensuring my oyster card is loaded above 50pounds on the regular to avoid stories. London Sha no be am at all.
GistMedia0: A fire destroyed a building that housed a church in Rumuosi yesterday, leaving residents in shock. Instead of calling the fire service, two women stood outside praying intensely for the fire to stop.
The women, who were seen with their hands raised and their faces soaked in tears, are believed to be members of the church. They continue to pray and chant, hoping for a miraculous intervention to save their place of worship.
Some admire the women's faith, while others believe practical action was needed alongside prayers. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
Exceed15: North made a grievous mistake that will take them long time to recover. They accommodate anybody in the name of religion. An average hausa man is very nice.
May they be your closest neighbour in times of religious crises
OniyideAmplify: They should just release that guy in peace biko.. Imagine treating someone on overstay like this as if he committed murder.
Well, just pay your fine and come back home jare. No place like home after all.
And to you all shaming this guy, na normal runs my guy do, he no kill, he no carry drug, he was only begging for food to survive. May he be blessed for taking risk.
As long as he doesn't engage in drugs, I don't mind contributing for him if a GoFundMe can be organized on his behalf.
I fit be Yoruba but so far he no do drug, je no kill, c'mon he remain my brother for life.
Come back to a fraudulent and druggie president/government? He is better off where he is.
Mummyfour: Expecting to see Soyinka debunk what punch editorial wrote. Or better still also awaiting those miscreants who have decided to hide away from the truth to come out and say obi paid punch, or that obi would have failed as well. Very soon, hunger and pains will reunite us again to fight this evil politicians that divided us along tribal and religious lines.
We don't need to wait until 3 years more to see the failure staring at us Anya Anya.
They say na from the smell of fart, you go know how the real poopoo go be. Nigerians are going through pains, deep pains right now. May God continue to punish everyone that foisted this government on us and also those that are still supporting this government even at this point. It's not about tribe and religion or party, it's about competence. Even if a goat is competent or deemed competent, we as a people should have voted for it and not support a man who obviously has come to steal, kill and destroy Nigeria. Cluelessness of the highest order
You wrote well. As for me, I am done fighting. We will allow PBAT run his full 8 year circle. Simple.
emmatex2020: Igbos and quick money, tomorrow they will blame government for doing anything in their tiny dot. It is the duty of host community to protect government asset in their domain. They will blame Aboki for what they know it is their brothers who did it.
Which host community protected the vandalised third mainland and other bridges linking the island till another igbo man minister came to fix the third mainland bridge (after fashola your kinsman did a shoddy maintenance work for 8 years)
kedeojo: you don't need surveillance if the people are patriotic. I taughtthought they are all billionaires.
Go school, you no gree. Enter class, No. You spent your years smoking marijuana so much so you cant draw a distinction between[b] thought and taught[/b]
Chivisee: So because there is no camera there have your ipob.s brothers right to vandalise it?? You think you are doing anybody,continue ruining yourself and be defending it
Obiedun: Who are the vandals? They are the children of hate. They never see anything good in other people. They worship money
Sure. Just like their elders in Lagos that have cut off all the bridge railings in all the bridges linking the island including Iddo, Carter/Apongbon, 5 cowries/falomo and third mainland bridge. Thieves....
IkeIgboNiile: Why don't you return the watch to it's owner? Keeping someone's property is a crime.
Psychology associates and ascribes dirty and unkempt finger nails to petty thieves and pickpockets. I see your point now that I have looked at the OP's thumb.
Nairarealman: I have this smartwatch Oramio plus and I really need a charger my location is ijebu-ode ode Lagos charger.. see pictures and call me or chat 07033608685 thx
Check on Jumia...
the charger is sold for 1.5k or so, not expensive at all. You do not have to be aggressive
Jughead29: You think we the youth are scared?? You can remain coward and keep suffering
No the youths are not scared. What they do instead is abscond to another man's country rather than staying back to challenge the status quo. My friend shut up jor .
