obataokenwa:
This type of politics is childish. The kaduna state govt should pay the money as he acted in the capacity of a public servant. The judge is even petty to say he acted personally, how can he act personally when he used law enforcement agencies to carry out the alleged case.
Did the plaintiff sue Kaduna State Govt or El Rufai? So why should KSG pay?

EducationRe: "Why Ghanaians Dominate WAEC Excellence Awards Ahead Of Nigerians" - ANCOPSS by jonsn: 6:41am On May 10, 2025
Racoon:

The National President of the All Nigerian Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), Alhaji Muhammad Ibn Musa, has attributed the consistent dominance of Ghanaian students in the annual West African Examinations Council (WAEC) International Excellence Awards to systemic lapses in Nigeria’s education system.

Speaking in an interview, Musa expressed concern over Ghana’s repeat wins in the top three slots of the school-based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) over the past two years, despite Nigeria contributing nearly three-quarters of the total candidates across the WAEC member countries.

“This issue is a serious one, and if I had my way, I wouldn’t even want to talk about it because it implicates all Nigerian teachers,” he said. However, he acknowledged that the problem runs deeper and cannot be attributed to any single group. “I can’t say the fault is solely from the principals or the teachers. They both share the blame, and so do governments, parents, and students.”

Musa explained that many Nigerian students lack the awareness that they are in competition not just within the country, but across the sub-region. “Most of them just want a credit pass. Once they get that, they feel they’ve done well,” he said, using the analogy, “You can only succeed in taking a donkey to the river, but you can’t force it to drink water.”

He identified parents as part of the challenge, citing a widespread practice of enrolling underage children in secondary schools and pushing them to skip classes.

“Many parents are not bothered about preparing their children adequately for exams. Some even aid them in malpractice,” he noted. He referred to cases where SS3 students score as low as 72 out of 400 in JAMB’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) yet still proceed to write the WASSCE.

According to Musa, the situation is worsened by the students’ poor study habits. “Even with expensive phones, 99.5 per cent of what they are browsing doesn’t relate to their studies, and their parents aren’t concerned,” he said. He added that holiday assignments, once common in public schools, are now rarely given.

Addressing the role of teachers and school administrators, Musa pointed out a lack of depth in syllabus coverage. “You are given just 45 minutes to take a class, and you spend 20 to 30 minutes discussing partisan politics or unrelated issues,” he said.

He also observed that many students, particularly in Northern Nigeria, resume school late after holidays without repercussions from their parents.

He recalled attending WAEC’s 73rd Annual General Meeting in Liberia last month, where the top three candidates were all Ghanaian.
“It was the same last year in Sierra Leone and even two years ago in Gambia, when only one Nigerian— a girl from Plateau State—made it into the top three,” he said.

Musa pointed out a key difference in secondary education structures, stating that Ghana employs specialised schools based on academic disciplines like science, arts, or commerce. He noted that in Nigeria, however, they operate comprehensive schools, where a single private school, even with limited facilities, can present students for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).

Musa acknowledged that the lack of participation among teachers in marking WAEC or NECO examination scripts negatively impacts students’ preparation. He stated that teachers who engage in marking gain a significant advantage, approximately 80 per cent, in understanding the examiners’ expectations and thus better equip their students for the exams.

On teacher development, Musa criticised state governments for abandoning professional training programmes. “It’s difficult to get better results when we keep doing things the same way,” he said. He urged improvements in teaching methods and subject knowledge.

Musa expressed doubts about Nigeria’s preparedness for the upcoming digital format of WAEC and NECO exams. He questioned the sustainability of providing necessary equipment, particularly regarding maintenance costs, which he anticipated would fall on parents and students.

He then connected this to the broader issue of Nigeria’s free education policies, suggesting that while many states claim to offer free education, the actual provision of essential resources often falls short of making this claim a reality.

“Almost every state says it runs free education, but how many provide the materials needed to make that claim real?” he questioned.
Musa said ANCOPSS has already called on WAEC Nigeria’s research department to investigate the recurring pattern.

“It means a lot to us that, for two years, no Nigerian student has made the top three despite our numbers. If we don’t produce any again this year, we should all be more worried,” he warned.


You're wrong. The reason is because Ghanaians have more eggs in their diet. Shikena

“Marriage is the lowest paid form of séx work” — Blogger Chidera Eggerue




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RscMVSU_lY?
Myles Munroe once said: when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.

Please, know from today that sex in marriage is not a sex-worker's job. It is a marital duty because the spouse has decided to love his/her partner (even with his/her body). If he or she is not ready to "submit" to him or her, even at the registry, the counsellor would not unite them. It is necessary.

A sex-worker is a prostitute that exchanges sex for a thing of value, monetary or otherwise without love involved. Most countries consider it a felony or misdemeanor. In Nigeria, it is illegal. Fornication is actually a crime.

So comparing a sex-worker with a spouse performing his/her conjugal responsibility is like comparing an actual fork with a garden fork. Try to use the latter on the dining table and see what I mean.

So I'm currently liking this girl, and with all things being equal, I am ready to marry her. But my fear is the age difference, I will be 33 next year while she is currently 24. She likes me too, but I'm still playing safe as I am still skeptical. Should I go on or just cut off the relationship before it becomes serious.
The fact that you ask this question, given her age as an adult, it shows you have decided not to marry her.

If you love her and want to marry her, you don't need to ask for other opinions.

All that matters is that you are not getting married to a teenager whom you love.

TINUBU SAYS HIS ADMINISTRATION IS BRINGING PROSPERITY TO NIGERIANS


President Bola Tinubu has said that his administration is pulling the country back from economic collapse, adding that Nigeria is gravitating towards growth and development again following his proactive reforms.

He revealed that his administration was aware of the daunting and enormous challenges confronting the country prior to his coming into office, hence, his administration resolve to embark on aggressive several reforms that would salvage the situation.

Tinubu stated this during the inauguration of the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo and his Deputy, Dennis Idahosa on Tuesday in Benin, the Edo State capital.


Represented by the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, the president said that central to the development thus far recorded by his administration is Edo State who according to himself has elected leaders who have oftentimes developed capacities to better the people.

He said, “When we took office, we knew the sincerity of our economy, we demanded serious reform of fiscal and monetary peace and stability of this nation. We have embarked on these reforms with determination to lay a foundation for opportunities.

“Today, we see leaders of integrity who laid this foundation to benefit the people. I am proud Edo State has chosen such men to lead the charge forward.


“The journey before us transcends partisan lines. We need people that would render service to our people. And no political party has managed the affairs of unity and purpose of our people than the APC since we take charge.


“It is not fair that we share the future of Edo State but our commitment to the common good of the people, both the supporters and opponents. Though, it may seem daunting to take the risk of power in such a time but I assure you that this is the best moment to serve one’s people.

“For in these uncertain times, the people demand for true leadership is stronger than like ever before. The people of Edo have placed their trust on Monday Okpebholo and Hon. Dennis Idahosa, leaders who have demonstrated characters and results through their tireless dedication to the development of Edo State.

“This is why we are here. Because the people recognised in our dedication but not only to political victory but to the nation’s progress.

“Today is without doubt, a dawn of a new era for Edo State has begun and I promise that this is not an empty promise. Senator Monday Okpebholo is committed to building Edo State you have envisaged.

“A place where jobs would be plenty, while education is accessible to all, while infrastructure would be within the reach of every citizen. He understands the pains of the people and has the vision to bring those dreams to light.”

I respect your observation but I think your recommendation of sanctions is completely different from total ban that they have just declared.

What they are doing is throwing the dirty water and the baby in the bath away. It makes no sense especially when they have not made adequate provisions for the masses.

Christianity EtcRe: How Many Offerings Does Your Church Collect During Sunday Service by jonsn: 8:01pm On May 19, 2024
PrayWills:
I walked out of four square last month. These people collected five offerings in a four hour service. It wasn’t thanksgiving or anything oo.

Normal Offering
Building Offering
Love Offering
Men offering
Holy Communion Offering

The last straw was Holy Communion offering, immediately I heard that, I jus collected house keys from my wife’s bag and walked out.

Once I pay my tithe via transfer, I don’t think I will ever go to a service again. There’s no love in the church, how will you stand on the altar and ask people to come give five times knowing fully well how things are hard, that’s callousness.

Jesus would have whipped them out of his fathers house, I’m sure!

Guys, just imagine if there was a church that gives out its entire offering box to a family in need at least one Sunday a month.

These churches are getting greedy, you have no idea the amount of money these people are seeing. I myself have paid nothing less than 50k in tithe this year and I am broke oo.


Imagine people who are well off or who people who really have money; my point is our churches have to do more, a lot more.


But the five offerings still Dey burst my head, these people are making it hard to serve God oo.
GOD loves a cheerful giver
