Mr Terry G let it reflect in your songs and lifestyle then we will believe you

The terrorists are fighting on all fronts, they have now gone biological

Lagos state is big enough to host the president"s visit and the ACN convention simultaneously. Organizers and logistics managers of the events should ensure that lagosians do not suffer disruptions in their movement tomorrow.

Welcome to Nigeria where Tb Joshua predicts events after they might have happened and puts up doctored videos of such predictions on his website.

Amaaskia: LoL yes! Proudly #team Akwa IBOM. Woohoooooo! Lmao

She is not repping us well in this pix o. Akwa ibom married women do not show this much skin, they dress moderately. I can forgive her if the picture was taken when she was shooting a movie scene.

Nice one from the Senators,Chinua Achebe was a great man

I am tired of this gist

They should leave his marriage alone. osaze is not a kid

I guess you have outgrown the habit now

A good job is one that pays well and gives you satisfaction at the end of the day

The key is your mind. Stop fantasizing about sex with any girl you want to approach. Get a grip on your mind, fill your mind with healthy thoughts, get involved in productive activities. Then approach the girl you fancy, do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. If your thing rises while you are walking towards her start singing christian choruses in ur mind and the thing will come down.

Nigerian Students choice of course is determined by

Parental influence(study the course your parents choose for you)
Peer group influence(study what your friends are studying)
Prestige/monetary influence(People will respect you more if you study course A over course B and Course A pays more than course B)
Personal preference( i choose to study this course because i am good in this subject area).

The course i studied in university was chosen by my dad. I was 17yrs, fresh out of secondary school and was attempting Jamb for the first time that year (2004). I wanted to study medicine, so i filled in medicine as my first choice and pharmacy as my 2nd choice in the jamb form. My jamb score was 204 and wasn"t enough for both courses. That year 2004 was the year post utme exams was first introduced in the country, the university i wanted to study in pegged 250 points as the jamb cutoff point for the post utme exams, so i was cut off and was advised to choose another science course if i wanted admission that year.
My dad choose Crop science an agric science course that had 200 points as the cutoff point. I took the post utme exams and was successful and got admitted to study crop science(half akara dey better than none). Towards the end of my first year i took jamb again, scored 235 and went for the aptitude test for medicine and surgery. This time the cutoff point was lowered to 200. I took the test, scored 77 over 100 and i was happy that i had made it at last. When they pasted the Admission list i went to check, i scanned and searched the list several times, my name wasn"t on the list(the thing do me like film trick)so i went back home and consoled myself that at least i already had an alternative course in school. I was later told by a staff in the dept of medicine that the cutoff point was 80 and that some candidates who scored as low as 50 got admitted through "runs" and connections.

Crop science is a 5 years course and has a wide subject area content that cuts across diverse fields of study. I had no choice but to study hard, i went through the usual ASUU strike wahala, graduated with a good result, went through nysc mobilization wahala, went for youth service and got back november 2012. Now, where are the jobs that the sweet talking lecturers told us during classes were available in this field?(we don enter one chance. There are few career prospects for the course in Nigeria cos it is misunderstood and unappreciated(people tink say na only backbreaking farm work u fit do with this kain course). Unless you want to teach in the academia, slave away at a state ministry of Agriculture or you have capital to start off your large scale mechanized farm, you will be hanging in the balance.

Thank God i had discovered my talents back in the days, now i am working in an entirely different field and i am planning on doing my masters degree next year in a field where i have passion for. However if i get a good job offer that relates to my course of study i will pick it.

Enterpreneurship is the way forward, our universities should teach students on how to create jobs when they are through with school. I know i will go back to my course of study as a side hustle later when i have enough capital to start up an agric venture(money dey Agric).

See what i am missing, there is no etisalat internet service in my area

They are a bunch of confused fellas, they deserve each other

President Zuma is free to visit Nigeria anytime he likes. Nigeria and South Africa are brothers.....but the South Africans should admit that Nigeria is the elder brother

She is a swaggalicious kid

dc555: I can bet 5 things.
1) Before she turns 18 she would be doing drugs
2) Before she turns 21 she would be in REHAB
3) At 30 she would have become a sex maniac
4) By the time she hits menopause she would have married and divorced at least 5 men
5) She will die a miserable death.

Why are you so bitter?

HAH: The last time I checked the north is more populous than the south unless you are talking of rigging, let me remind you that kano alone is about 50% of SS

Our census figures are faulty, most of us do not believe that these are the true census figures, some of them were rigged. Going by these figures, if the south-south teams up with the south-east and north-central to vote enmasse for a single candidate it will be enough to see the candidate through no matter the vote figures from the north.

Buhari may not be a direct sponsor of boko haram but his sympathies lies with the group. The power hungry general from Katsina has not hidden his desire to undermine the government of Goodluck jonathan. After losing the 2011 presidential elections, he issued inflammatory comments and instigated northern almajiri youths to go on a destruction and murdering spree, killing innocent youth corp members and southerners in the north. He is presently warming up to contest the 2015 presidential elections. We will wait for him at the polls, we will ensure that his unenviable record of losing elections continues and he will run back defeated with his tail between his legs to his cave in Katsina.

The bigot makes no effort to campaign in the southern parts of the country, he believes that only the northern votes can land him the Aso rock job. In post election years he makes little or no effort to contribute to national discourse, he does not bring any good ideas and suggestions that can move the nation forward like true opposition leaders do, he simply buries his head in the sand like an ostrich and waits for the next election period to contest.

Nigeria needs a national leader not a sectional leader like buhari. The north should throw up young and progressive leaders like Nuhu Ribadu, El-rufai(to an extent) etc if they want power to return to their region. The era of old retired generals is gone for good.

The beginning of the end for Amaechi

Lagos is beautiful but what puts me off the city is the chaotic nature of life in most parts of lagos.

druid06: I feel you dude, you just described how I feel about the way rap/hip-pop is.. Too many fakes out there with their wack lyrics. All they talk about is fu0cking bitches, making money and getting high. Heck, one M.C even rapped about having the biggest d-ick so he could fu0ck the world in 72hrs.. WTF is that?? hahaha..lol.... I've switched genre and I'm more into slow rock and maybe once in a while listen to my old rap albums. Hip-pop is dead, it died in the 90's.

+100000

We may never know who wanted to assassinate him and for what reason(s). Personally i believe Dino melaye is a hypocrite

A northern candidate will be a hard sell in the south east and south south. Apc should look for a credible North central/middle belt candidate if they want to make any headway in 2015, dangling the vp position will not entice Igbos to vote for them.

North Korea is a communist state, Iran building a mosque in their embassy won"t change anything

You Ghanaian trolls don"t ever get tired

Abuja is a beautiful city, infact it is one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. The city looks well planned with breathtaking views. However i don"t think Nigerians have any sentimental attachment to the city.

adaobi123: Enough but not a crazy amount like 5 million

I guess your bride price will be in the range of 100k - 300k. I have started saving for the D-day
