Bitter truth
Other Africans have moved on in terms of infrastructural development.

Believe Nigerian is still the "giant of Africa" is mere delusion

who can be blame for this?

What I find funny is the fact that our leaders aren't even perturbed about all this, it is we who give ourselves unnecessary headaches about such things.

Examination malpractice is becoming worse as the days go by especially and in fact, only in Nigeria. Students no longer read ahead for their exams. What they do, is to "gather " money for the exams. The rate of exam malpractice has risen to the extent that even parents are involved in this shameful act. Let me tell you my story.

I sat for my WAEC exams in 2017. I actually started preparing for my exams in ss2 ,because I knew that my parents will never ever pay for Expo, and so I had to respect myself and do my best. While the exam date was approaching, I discovered that most boys in my class were not coming to school frequently as they were . As the class monitor, I was always marking them absent in the school register. So one day I decided to ask them why they don't come to school as often, and they told me that they had to gather money for Expo . They said that they cannot kill themselves reading everyday when they can just pay to pass. I was half surprised because they were not doing well in class Afterall. I tried to make them drop the idea but it was a fruitless effort.

My principal later appointed a particular teacher to be the school's exam coordinator. This man Ehh, is the state's top run's man. He runs for waec, jamb, neco, post utme, in fact, he is a top runner( so he made us believe). As the exams were approaching, he started collecting money for Expo, and he collected based on the importance of the subject. Example

Maths -5000

English -5000

Chemistry -5000

Physics -5000

Biology 4000

Commerce -3000

Tie and die -1500,and so on.

Students were paying and since I couldn't pay, I was reading. I became as thin as a broom stick. The teacher was even registering people who will not even write the exams. Those ones payed about 60000 . They couldn't write because they were working. I got to know all about this because this teacher will tell us to our faces to bring our loved ones who are willing to pay.

When the exams came, the first subject we wrote was maths. My people, come and see runs. I haven't seen any like it in my entire life. Those who payed were sitting at the back while we were sitting at the front. Sometimes the invigilator will taunt us and laugh at us because we refused to pay. What surprised me more was the amount the invigilator collected. My people, he requested for 350000. My class was large and in fact, another school was joining us, so we were up to 300. Our "Expo teacher " payed the money and added a slaughtered fowl which he asked me to buy (as the prefect of the class). I didn't know that I was buying fowl for an Expo invigilator ohh. He just said that I should buy fowl and I bought.

Through out the days we wrote the exams, the invigilators were payed. The teacher was writing personally for those who couldn't come to the school to write. He would take answer booklets, ask other teachers for the answers to the ones he doesn't know (all teachers were working together), write for them and submit. I wasn't scared because I was confident in what I wrote and in fact, the exams were simple for me . I only had difficulty in physics.

My people when the results were out, I passed ohh but guess who was the best student. The best student of my school 2017/1018 session was a pump attendant at one filling station in sapele who didn't even know the address of my school. He was one of those students my teacher was writing for. Chai. Ahh this life no balance.

When will malpractice stop in Nigeria? When will our youths begin to see that malpractice damages the society. These days, there are half baked graduated everywhere. Why? Why can't they just put enough hard work if they want to pass exams? Why?

I tell you this, in future those who engage in such always regret it.

Since they didn't read for it, there's no way they can have the knowledge that will prepare them for what's waiting for them in future.

Keep your head up and don't mind what you see around you. It pays to read for an exam, trust me.

Lol. Richie Rich is 40.

Na toto dey scratch you. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

thought that was a saying, didn't know it's real.

I think pastor Chris should read my poem:

Rest in Peace Lady.

I wonder why his God didn't descend from the so called Heaven to help him.

Why can't these so called Christians learn to mind their business?

Just before any relationship comes to an end, there are certain sure signs we begin to notice that the love is completely dead and there is nothing to hang on to anymore. This is a thread to help those in such relationships that are on the brink of collapse to have an idea so that they can brace themselves for life ahead.
Mine was within the first few months of my marriage, my wife suddenly became obstinate and started going to her parents house whenever we had an argument and would never call back till I called her to please come back and soon after she announced her plans to migrate to another country for good on one of those her return visits from her parents house.
At this point I realized I was alone and had to start planning my life ahead without her.

Please tell your experience, it may not necessarily be someone you were married to, any form of relationship would still fit in.
It could be an ex boyfriend/girlfriend, fiancee etc

Is there really love in the first place?

This question is what many Nigerians don't even bother to ask themselves before entering into a relationship. They forget Love usually isn't enough to sustain relationships, if ever the people involve really do Love themselves to begin with.

For me, rather than Love, I believe it's interest. Most relationships are base on interest, not Love, especially from the woman and if or when that interest isn't feasible anymore, they start showing those repulsive signs.

So the truth of it all is (if you truly love) the girl or guy should try and make sure their interest in the relationship (marriage) doesn't die out. Period.

As if he won't die and he won't leave the office of governor of Kaduna state.

Hubris and arrogance are negative emotions no human should feel at the same time.

happy birthday sir.

Unfortunately, none are reasons enough to deny him sex.

you don't find it funny Ishilove didn't consider the possibility the wife might be getting dicked somewhere else?

Since when did men start gossiping like idle market women?

If this is what is being widely discussed on social media then Nigeria is doomed.

it's good you know 'men' love to gossip, if not more than women, especially in Nigeria now.

Ishilove:
I'm not really active on social media except for Nairaland and WhatsApp . Be that as it may, e don taya person. As my mum always says, "too much of everything is bad."

well basically we can't really tell members here what to post and not to post. Lol.

Furthermore the OP himself is very shortsighted. In his lamentation, he forgets "one man's meat is another man's poison". Lol. There are always guys out there who will still organise birthday parties for their 'girlfriends', whether they be main boyfriend or side boyfriends.

There's always a fresh mugu out there.
