Hang on, Nigeria teaches Science, Maths and Tech from elementary school. Relgious studies still has fewer hours than even English and Maths.

We aren't technologically developed because we believe that by selling raw materials, we can buy things we should be making in the first instance. And we have tons of raw materials. We haven't grasped that we could make more money using the raw materials to make goods and services

Also, we despise technical studies. We encourage far too many people to go to universities and graduate with paper degree...and the fact is white collar jobs pay better than blue collar... Meanwhile, just as the Sergenats and NCO's run armies , its the technicians that build an industrial and scientific society. WE don't have enough of them

You answered your own questions. Teaching Science and Maths without application is a waste of time and energy. I wish I could post the video of Elementary students in China disassembling and assembling hand guns. Teaching Science and Technology is not about memorizing equations and using it to solve problems on paper.

What I find funny is that with each government, they tell the people that it could only get better. Last last it got worse.

From Obj-Yar'Adua-GEJ-Buhari and now to Tinubu, the trend is very clear. It is a one way trip to abyss littered with false promises and hopeful cheering masses

Africans when will they call our name and products in these kind of innovations👀

/
While countries like China start teaching Science, Maths and Technology from Elementary schools, Nigerians are teaching their kids to pray and fast in preparation for the uncertainties on earth. And if any kid dares show signs of having unique talents, Akwaibom people will term him a wizard and roast him alive.

Two different mindsets.

One cannot help but wonder how our people intentionally support evil and expect an angel to intercede on their behalf. Can anyone explain to us how Okezie Ikpeazu secured 2nd tenure in Abia State considering that he is a dunce? I think we are our own worst problems.

Anambra State was retrogressive under Obiano and folks were shouting "Willie is Working". As soon as he left, everyone found their voices. It is ridiculous!

/

It beats me in this day and age, that people still care about which politicians belong to which party before, during or after elections in Nigeria.

Why are people more interested in party affiliations than service delivery? It has been established that a Nigerian politician can belong to three different political parties within 2 years. What's the fuss all about? The only person feeling betrayed is the slowpoke who chose to put trust in a man or woman.

Naira to Dollar is going up astronomically, if the trend continues like this, without good government economic policies, by October 2024, Dollar might likely be exchanging between 1500 to 2000 naira

/.

What government policy do you expect? Not when they are constantly drawing down external reserves.
No tactics. No plan. No strategy. Just on cruise control and hoping that nothing catastrophic happens in the global arena. Nigeria has administrators not leaders.

Saviourplease:
Good evening house.

I am in a dilemma and I need advice on what to do.

A bit of background about myself: I am a 29 years only child from a very poor background. I work for an IT firm which i joined in 2019 as a graduate trainee.

My total income is around 490k (400k from main job, 90k from a writing side gig).

My challenge:
Recently, My host have told me to look for my accommodation and I have been searching for houses. Unfortunately, the places closer to my places of work is expensive.

I work in VI and the cheapest mini flat I have seen in close vicinity is 1.2M at Ajah.

I also have have a building project I am undertaking in the village that is at roofing stage and my parents have been pressuring me to settle down as the only child.

My dilemma is this, If i go for the house at Ajah, it will eat a bulk of my savings, thereby making it impossible for me to complete the building project or even start the process of settling down.

If I go for a cheaper but farer location, I will be spending more time in traffic.

Please, how do I manage this?

/
You live and work in Lagos.
The first thing that occured to you is to build a house in the village where you don't live. If your parents are near homeless, you should have built a small affordable 2-bedroom bungalow for them.

I think you got your priorities wrong. It seems your plan is that your employer would let you live rent free in Lagos forever and that formed the center point of your financial decisions.

If you keep entangling your financial decisions with your parent's emotional blackmail, you will probably end up in the village driving Keke. By the way, your job can go anytime as well and it may take awhile to get another one. I hope you have backup funds in case of the unknown.

Armaggedon:
The government is not stronger than tradition. Governments and states can rise and wane but traditions and religions will remain. It's even traditions that create laws for government.

/
From the colonial days, the government had been able to put a stop to traditions they deem retrogressive.

During COVID, the government was able to ban churches from services and enforced it.

That's hierarchy of power at work.


/

/
Giant of Africa is still importing matches, toothpicks and can't even refine the oil in her backyard. To top it off, they selected a drug kingpin as a President. As if those were not bad enough, you have professors and doctors in different fields defending the rubbish.

What shame of a nation?!

The only original musician left.
The rest are just copying Amanpiano for this 2023.
The height of it was when K-Cee and Davido joined the fray.
Even gaddemn Phyno's "I Do" sounds like a remake of Amanpiano.

/

/
Unnecessary pronouncement.

The government is stronger than customs and the church.

Even traditional rulers need license of recognition from the government while churches need government registration to operate.

The government can change any laws they deem wicked and oppressive. There is no need playing to the gallery.

Betting is a career destroyer, take it or leave it.
IVE NEVER SEEN A GAMBLER THAT NEVER GO BROKE.
Most of them even uses there last card which is meant for feeding to play bet.


If you're a victim of betting try all your best to vindicate yourself from that habit.
Betting sucks success just as termites eat Woods(you won't know it until its finished destroying you)
It'll surely come back to hurt you

SAY NO TO BET

This is secondary.

JUST AVOID WOMEN!

That's all.

BIZNess123:


Though things are difficult in Nigeria and all over the world..but Nigerians blames the government for everything.. meanwhile in the US the citizens creates most of the job..
Nigerians complains a lot ... always waiting for miracle instead of legitimately hustling like citizens of abroad....

/

Can you start and operate a profitable business in this environment. No electricity, bad roads, high fuel/gas price, multiple taxation/levies by State/LG agencies, high inflation, etc?

/

/
Nigerians are willing to suffer silently as long as oppressor is from their region. Even if gas hits N2000/kg, some people would rather jump into 3rd Mainland bridge to end it all than admit publicly that someone from their region is a dunce.

The same thing happened during Buhari's wasted 8 years. Boko Haram was slaughtering people in Katsina yet the indigene were still worshipping Buhari.

/

/
Buhari paraded zero certificate. Nigerians supported him due to propaganda and Nigerians went through hell.

Tinubu parades forged certificate. Stay in class and learn. He refused. Instead he was busy running his drug business while taking exams by proxy. He got in through propaganda and rigging. Today Nigerian is in abyss.

How can anyone feel sorry for Nigerians who refuse to fight for themselves? They just mumu dey go listening to paid mouthpieces defending rubbish.

/

/
Most Nigerians love politics of identity and association.

To them, Dangote even though established as a shrewd businessman, still enjoys the support of Nigerians because they use him for a bragging right--"Africa's wealthiest man is a Nigerian". It is akin to those mofos who form Team Messi vs Team CR7 even though both players have no direct impact in their lives.

/

/
IMF and World Bank are like doctors that diagnose a patient, lend him money with collaterals to purchase medications and turn around to inform the patient that he is dying. Only certified moronic leaders will keep taking economic prescriptions from those undertakers.

/
Why bring them back? They are in Jerusalem closer to heaven.

Omoh, as country hard, na so I carry my car enter road for UBER in Abuja after completing UBER car inspection.

Customers (riders) nyafu nyafu for road, Na so so pick up alert I dey receive, surge choke! I was enjoying my new job until I decided to close for the day and go home and rest after spending some hours driving.

Mhenn... I got the biggest shock of my life! I made 22k within couple of hours...

Excited? Please don't be excited, it was a bad shock!

UBER took 35% of the total money I made and the rest of the money went to fuel (Bought fuel for N617 per litre). I got home on empty tank.

My profit was.... guess?

Five Hundred and Fifty Naira only (N550)

UBER drivers, please share your experience.

/
That's your first attempt.

If you do it for a week, you will learn the tricks of the trade which may include giving customers your number and doing the driving off the control of Uber.

In the leaked video, Netanyahu admitted that they can provoke Palestinians to attack. The whole world will see Palestinians as aggressors and they will use that excuse to annihilate them.

I believe that everything is scripted.

MuMuOnBail:
Na wa ooo


The way that we Africans most especially Nigerians carry this Isreal and Palestine matter for head is so Irritating.

I have visited Jerusalem thrice for three different purposes (training) and I can confidently tell you that, an average Isreali-Jew see you Christians as shit, I mean BIG SHIT! and if you are also black and also a Christian you are more Useless.

City with 24 hours tension, Even Borno state is not as tense as Jerusalem. FACT

A Jew colleague was the one that opened my eyes to the modern day fraudulent Christianity we are practicing in Nigeria

/
It is because of religion. Christians believe Jerusalem is a beautiful city that they will be rewarded with after death Some of them don't even know that Jerusalem is here on earth.

"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband". Hebrews 11:16.

Israel! Palestine!

The only thing people fail to address is that this was engineered by Britain when they still ran the British Empire.

From India/Pakistan, Nigeria North/South, HongKong/China, you name it…the conflict in many places in the world today is the outcome of British Empire’s plot to maintain dominance over the world.

In the quest to wrestle Ottoman Empire economically, British Empire carved out many nations in the Middle East and by Balfour declaration of 1917 inserted Israel in the Middle East. Peace deserted Middle East since then.

It is the same game plan they had in Africa in collusion with France. To them, these areas were like a pizza that needed to be shared for resources.

Now imagine if Igbo people start buying up Lekki. And Britain is in conflict with the rest of West Africa. Due to political influence and wealth, Britain carved out Lekki(by declaration not treaty) and make it Biafran territory to protect their economic interests in the West African region anchored on a fairy tale in the Bible. Will it sit well with the rest of West Africa especially if Britain lost her empire?

“Forgiveness” 🤩

She cheated on you. Yet you stayed with her.
She has no respect for you anymore because she knows that you have no self-esteem and places no values on yourself. She is out there with someone she respects.

Be a man and grow a pair of balls. Start redeeming yourself by breaking up with her.

palsenator:
If 20/7000 is a pass for you, then who am I to judge you? Enjoy the statistics.

And don't forget that part of the 20 were intentionally left out by the defense system because they landed in areas where there are no casualties.

/
Yeah!

And the casualties ( 700+ Israelis dead & 2,150 injured) we read about fell from heaven.

/

Abufo:
So in other words your bankrupt and poorly trained Nigerian army is Isreali defence forces and IPOB is Hamas.......Oga better leave drugs and mkpurummili alone......IPOB wey full Isreal or Hamas wey full Nigerian army .......your brain must be in one hella of a knot!

/
The same you will start shouting "UN!" when you kill one and they raze or bomb your towns. UN doesn't care. They have more important things to worry about. Many of you that got killed died uncelebrated ,unappreciated, denounced by your familes and buried like cockroaches.

The difference is that Hamas has the brain to attack their perceived enemies in the enemy territory instead of killing their fellow Palestinians or making Gaza uninhabitable for their people.

/

/
I can guarantee you that those fuming do not have any slightest idea about Israel-Palestinian history. Once they heard Israel, they came out with keyboard guns blazing.
/

palsenator:
Are you having comprehension problem? Over 7000 rockets fired, only few less than 20 hit Israel and you still saying it's not effective. Just close your eyes and imagine 100 rockets fired to a city not to talk of 7000.

/
20 is more than enough.

So it is overhyped.

/

/
They should forward these pictures to Simon Ekpa and co. The most stupid thing any slowpoke would do will be to bring war to his land. There will be many collateral damages. He and his boys think war is about carrying AK-47 killing his people and law enforcement officers. Never bring war to your backyard

/

/
What happened to the iron dome when Hamas attacked them and even took some hostages? Or is it one of those overhyped 'ish like the Russian military?

Nigerian media is inconsequential. Social media and online news outlets and bloggers have taken over. Who sits around to watch those boring Nigerian TV programmes?
