Glimpsetv: A Nigerian man visited a zoo in Canada and encountered something very surprising. Along the walkway, he came across a banner that read "Meet the Gorillas." The banner displayed the names of each gorilla alongside their photos. To his astonishment, many of the gorillas had Nigerian names, such as Ngozi and Nneka. Watch the video.....
Trendburst: Parents and Teachers have reacted to the decision of the Federal Government to peg the age at which students can write the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations, SSCE, and Joint Admissions Matriculation Examination at 18.
The Minister of Education, Professor Tahir Mamman, on Monday said that from 2025, any candidate who is not up to 18 will not be allowed to write the examination and without doing so, such candidate won’t be able to seek admission into tertiary institutions.
In 2024, someone is making such a dumb policy. I finished secondary school at 14 and 8months. So if this man was the Minster then, I wouldn't have achieved same.
This evil party has indeed come to take Nigeria centuries backward.
fergie001: She is the second woman to be sworn-in as CJN
Landmark decisions Kekere-Ekun upturned the decisions of the lower Court and tribunal, thereby preparing and delivering the judgement that sacked Emeka Ihedioha and affirmed Odidika Hope Uzodinma as Governor of Imo State.
She also prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed Yahaya Bello as Governor of Kogi State following the imbroglio between the APC & Yahaya Bello against James Faleke after the death of Abubakar Audu.
She prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed ex-Osun Governor, Gboyega Oyetola against Ademola Adeleke in 2020, citing the absence of the Tribunal chair in one of the sittings.
Kekere-Ekun also prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed PDP's Nyesom Wike against Dakuku Peterside in 2016, after the tribunal and Appeal Court had nullified Wike's victory and called for a fresh election.
Can she go to the USA for conferences? Nice profile she got there
When it comes to enjoying the benefits of those leading well, they will make comparison with sane climes. When it comes to putting in the work like leaders in sane climes, they claim we are an emerging democracy. Phools everywhere
The DSS will never have credible intelligence to forestall this rubbish. Untill hungry citizens wants to protest, then they will get credible intelligence.
To my best of understanding, Nigeria is not in any competition with anyone.
We all have our different ways of doing things
Modified: Which one is this one wey people go leave the topic of discussion without even making any contributions and be attacking others who have made theirs unnecessarily. Make una shun that attitude jare.
Because this sounds highly unintelligent and people who are visitors on this forum from other countries, will think most Nigerians think like this, if people don't counter this level of idiocy. Nigeria can not be isolated from global happenings and whether we like it or not we are in competition with countries(sadly, least developed countries).
To even think we were "mates" with Singapore years back and now we are down there, is crazy.
More worrisome, is the fact that, a citizen thinks we are not in competition with a sane country.
nabiz: I dont like tinubu but I have noticed something. I am suspecting that the northern oligarchy mainly the fulanis are the one sabotaging/fighting Tinubu's government. This people have been in government for year without doing anything in Nigeria. They are very rich and powerful. Something must be going on which we don't know. Tinubu must be fighting to stop their agenda. Are they fighting Tinubu because he wants to tampered with the constitution, example state police which will put and end their conquering agender, i know there are more to it.
As I said, I dont like Tinubu because of the way he became president but he has good intentions for Nigeria. He may not be the messiah but he will make way for the messiah by curtailing the power of the oligarchy who have been holding this country for ransom.This group are very powerful and you can never pls them.. they always want their way in everything
My advice is that the indigenous Nigerian from North to South should rally round and support Tinubu. Tinubu may be fighting a war that many of us are not seeing and if we don't support him he may back down or they may use military to remove him given the reason that he is on able to govern Nigeria.
As earlier said. I dont like Tinubu. I did not vote for him. But I know it is the will of God for Tinubu to be a president. God can use anybody. The same people that are fighting him use him against Jonathan, but from today I will support him. I will endure with him.
You typed rubbish. Do you use your brains to think at all? We should support an obvious failure, you are irredeemably unintelligent
Aside declaring religion war on a phone call with a Nigerian pastor, what would Peter Obi have done differently? since he would also be the chief security office of all Nigerian states.
Lol. What they keep asking "what will Peter Obi have done differently"? When he told you what he will do, religion, tribe and mountain-like ignorance blinded you. Go and read up his pact, pay attention to what he said as it concerns security.
Read it with an open mind and compare that with the clueless man who was delegating people to answer questions for him
fyzaila: I don't know why things over there in the south, east, west are quite expensive compared to the north. In the north, that plate of food is 500 with 🍖 or 🐟. Imagine it is even garri o, not semo or poundi
Creamypie: Truth is even if another party comes on board someday, the situation will not change. With 500% inflation, and no corresponding increase in income, Nigeria is hopeless and totally irredeemable. An increase in income will even worsen the inflation.
This is the lie most of you tell yourself, after voting the clueless certificate forger and druggie.
You think foreign investors are stupid? They look at character, rule of law and other variables, which are obviously absent now.
A Peter Obi presidency wont be this clueless. Bdw, the dollar just hit an all time low and insecurity is not even helping.
There is no allowance anywhere. That is all an AL takes home. The supposed Earned Academic Allowance has not been paid in ages and that has become part of the reason for embarking on industrial action by ASUU
FreeStuffsNG: That man is so sound yet not as brutally frank as our JSCs but I am sure he will be henceforth at the SC. Congrats to him and Nigeria.
Sound? The poor educational system in Nigeria is really a problem. Can we xray 4 of his recent judgments and juxtapose same against the judgement from a County Court here?
Little wonder judges from Naija rarely pass exams at ICJ. Empty heads, just technicalities and one is surprised that the country has gone south
Maize247: When PDP was not united we told them of the consequences. Infact, the judiciary was been linent on Obi because of the public opinion, he was not an LP member when became their candidate though he failed afterall.
But double nomination by APC was overlooked, because it was considered pre-election matter. Let us keep supporting rubbish, the impact is being felt both at home and abroad.
Samsunny99: Love sometimes can hurt,a friend of mine came to me telling me how he loved a girl so dearly but the issue is that they are both AS, After finding out,he has really been sad about the turn of events, What is your advice or word of encouragement for him
Abort mission pls... Don't punish the innocent child, don't make neighbors restless and don't make family members put something that is avoidable on their prayer's request card.
ALMUSTAQIM: *On Presidential Yatch And Other Matters* .
"It is important to state clearly that President Bola Tinubu didn't ask for a presidential yatch and I doubt he needs one to perform the functions of his office. From what I know, the request for a yacht, however it is named or couched in the budget is from the Navy and they must have operational reasons for why it is required"
You don't needs something, you have asked the citizens to tighten their belt. Isn't it financial rascality to approve what "you don't need", especially since it is in your name? Again, sane leaders will ask what the fleet is for and likely say we don't have money for that at the moment. Rubbish Oluwole certificate people
Oluwabash: FACTS: How Dauda Lawal Funded Atiku’s Chicago Wild Goose Chase
Facts have emerged on how the Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, a former Director at First Bank who had a mysterious relationship with Nigerian corruption fugitive, Diezani Madueke, funded the Atiku led campaign to question the records of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Chicago State University.
Sources close to the former First Bank Director, boasted that the Governor had single handedly financed the legal team that went to the President’s alma mata to dig up his old records.
“As a newcomer to the field of politics, Dauda needed to prove his worth. Once someone had raised the possibility of digging deeper into President Tinubu’s school records by getting a team to travel to Chicago to investigate the President, Dauda offered to fund it to the last cent.
“In his proud manner, he said he would foot the bill. That they should let him know whatever the cost. Most of the monies were pocketed by the third parties that facilitated the engagement of the lawyers. But he spent a lot of money,” the source said.
He went further to state that Dauda knew that the bid to embarrass the President was bound to fail, but “he wanted to be a show off and earn the respect of his fellow Governors present.”
It is recalled that the Supreme Court had quashed the request by the PDP to introduce the issue of the President’s result into the appeal describing the action of the opposition party as a “joke taken too far.”
Earlier this month, a group, Arewa APC Youth Vanguard accused Mr Dauda Lawal of calling for the resignation of the President over claims that he forged his result. Sources around Mr Lawal confirmed that he indeed made that call.
Describing him as an unsteady man, with zero moral compass, a former colleague to the Governor who was contacted on this issue stated that Mr Dauda Lawal was the apt description of “anywhere belle face.”
The banker who asked not to be named accused Dauda Lawal of being driven by the "desire to be liked and popular even though he had nothing to offer."
“Dauda would pander to the crowd. He would do anything so that he can be noticed in a gathering. But when the backlash comes, Dauda would be the first to run into hiding. He would say he wasn’t involved. I am not surprised that he would fund Atiku’s craze just to win the favor of the former Vice President,” the source said.
It was not a wild goose chase. We now Know that his certificate is Oluwole
stuffs2002: When I made a statement here on Nairaland that Peter Obi's political career is dead on account of the "YES DADDY" leaked audio, many OBIDIENTS came at me like wild dogs with all manner of insults. Here is Reno Omokri saying exactly what I said some time ago
Peter Obi can never ever be president because of that leaked audio. That audio went viral among the Hausa community and some even went as far as translating the audio into Hausa language. Also Peter Obi going to churches to campaign repeatedly and in some cases telling the church to "take back their country" also showed him as an ethnic and religious BIGOT who appears to be in the presidential race to undermine the growth of the Muslims.
For the records, I am not a fan of Reno Omokri but that shouldn't stop me from saying the truth
You should be worried about yourselves, especially if hunger doesn't kill you before 2027.

Of all the countries mentioned, show me one whose citizens are suffering multi dimensional poverty?
Some of you are born slaves and if you people continue defending rubbish, you guys will die as slaves.
Military might and they had to request for reinforcements from other devilish nations
There is something you missed here, Israel wants to make a statement and I think that statement is aimed at total annihilation of Hamas. So they are adding to their military might. Bdw, we have only read that it's allies are ready to support or have started moving WS to bases where they can assist from. But at the moment, Israel is prosecuting the war alone.
Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Muslim groups have staged a peaceful procession, urging an immediate ceasefire in the war-hit city of Gaza.
Muslims, in their hundreds, gathered at Dawah Centre at Ijesha area of Lagos on Thursday, where they offered prayers for enduring peace in the Middle East.
Addressing a larger crowd of Muslim faithful, the Director of Muslim Awareness International (MAI), Abdulwaheed Atoyebi appealed to the international community to uphold previous United Nations agreements on the long-running Israel-Palestine crisis.
Atoyebi lamented that the UN Resolution of 1947, which granted independence to both Israel and Palestine, has not been accomplished.
According to him, the illegal occupation of Gaza and the repeated intimidation of Palestinians by Israeli forces may have provoked Hamas to respond.
He called on the Nigerian government to take sincere steps to end the crisis and expressed solidarity with Palestine.
Also speaking at the gathering, the Amir (President) of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit, Mr Kamoldeen Abiona noted that the current situation in Palestine demands urgent attention and action.
He stated, “the indiscriminate attacks on Gaza have resulted in a dire humanitarian crisis, with thousands of innocent civilians, including women and children, losing their lives or suffering severe injuries.”
“The destruction of crucial civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and residential buildings, further exacerbates the already dire living conditions for Palestinians.
A legal practitioner, Tajudeen Balogun, who also addressed Muslims at the gathering, said it is disheartening that 225 resolutions have been passed on the crisis without implementation
According to him, this contrasts with the situation in Iraq, where the United States claimed weapons of mass destruction, but found none.
Balogun emphasised that the events in Gaza over the past 75 years amount to a violation of human rights.
Meanwhile, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) said the Hamas’ attack on Israel occurred because the Palestinian people have been pushed to the wall.
The Executive Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement, called for an immediate ceasefire, urging the global community to address the root of the Palestinian question.
He stated, “Considering the heavy toll on both sides, MURIC calls for an immediate ceasefire. We demand the opening of a humanitarian corridor by Israel in obedience to the United Nations’ call and the appeal made yesterday by the European Union. War is a monster. It makes beasts of men.”
Akintola described ongoing bombardment of Palestine and the blockade of Gaza by Israel as a mere continuation of Israel’s genocidal and apartheid proclivity.
He stated, “MURIC wishes to put the crisis in its proper perspective in view of several false and misleading narratives being pushed to the front burner. This began with the allocation of a larger portion of Palestinian land to Israel in 1947 by the United Nations (UN) which was immediately followed by Israel’s belligerent, expansionist and apartheid policies which have left the Palestinians with only a fraction of the land which belonged to them ab initio
“The UN failed to secure autonomy for Palestine. Only Israel is recognized as a state. The Palestinians have no freedom of movement. Their infrastructure, water, electricity, etc are controlled by Israel and the latter has the power of life and death over every Palestinian citizen. Extra-judicial killing at the hands of Israel is rampant while arbitrary arrests, demolition of Palestinian homes are the order of the day.
“The desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque which is the third holy place of Islam is equally at the root of the crisis. It was these provocations, the acts of injustice and the constant violation of Allah-given fundamental human rights that pushed the Palestinians to the wall.
Saturday’s attack was therefore mere smoke and since there is no smoke without fire, objective people must look beyond the smoke and ask for what actually caused it.
“We reject the notion that Hamas or the Palestinians are terrorists. These are people fighting for their rights. They are freedom fighters. They are out to liberate their people.
They are seeking justice, equal rights and a dignifying existence for every Palestinian. We identify with these noble goals and we assert that justice is the soul of peace. No one can deny one and still enjoy the other.”
I stopped reading after "may have provoked them..." As much as I side with humanity, u don't go and kill citizens of a country that has more military might than you
LABELLING AN ENTIRE NATION AS TERRORISTS IS THE MOST STUPID, BACKWARD, BARBARIC MINDSET.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY A RECENT POLL IN GAZA WHERE OVER 70% OF THE POPULATION WERE OPPOSED TO HAMAS BEING IN POWER.
BUT WHAT CAN THEY DO?
HAMAS HAS ALL THE GUNS AND BOMBS.
THERE ARE OVER 2.6 MILLION PEOPLE IN GAZA.
FAMILIES JUST LIKE YOUR OWN FAMILY, WHO JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR KIDS.
WHY ARE YOU LABELLING ALL OF THEM TERRORISTS LIKE SOME BEAST MADE YOU?
What they can now do, is to temporarily leave the war zone and allow Hamas face the music. Then come back to a country free of hardliners if anything still remains
I am billed to attend a company sponsored training in the Uk by the end of the month but my VISA application was turned down for the reasons attached. How do I handle this and improve my chances in my future applications?
