The result shows that the lecturer didn't impact knowledge on his or her students. In a ideal situation the lecturer should be replaced or sacked. It is rare to see such results in schools at abroad (developed countries).
Nigeria will always Nigeria

It is actually impossible, not rare.

The lecturer obviously didn't impart any knowledge and went ahead to set questions beyond the scope of what he taught.

I had an E in this course in UNILAG many years ago. By the following year when I got into UNIBEN, I made an A in the same course. That shows that there was an issue with either the UNILAG lectures for the course or their exams or both.

Awol1:
Lol...

Who is urging them?

All I see is Buhari trying to unite his brothers in Niger and Northern Nigeria.

Just like he has always done when he supported a Fulani Nigerien to become the Common Wealth Secretary General over an Igbo man.

Buhari... We will survive you and your kinds.

Niger Republic has never been part of Commonwealth.

The incident you were referring to was about OAU (now AU) not Commonwealth.

omenkaLives:
Never realised South East would ever form an alliance with the same people they call all manner of unprintable names.

South East has always had alliance with the North since 1960. It's only that the alliance has always been on a platform better than APC.
Remember Tafawa Balewa and Zik, Shehu Shagari and Ekwueme... These were all before PDP assumed power in 1999, and you well know the SE/SS had a very strong alliance with the North under PDP.
The good thing about PDP is that every region was carried along. Even as at 2007 when most of the SW states were won by Tinubu's AC, PDP still zoned the Speaker position to the South West. Every other geopolitical zone had at least one key government official. The only time SW was left out was in 2011 when they sold the Speaker slot to the NW which already had VP.

Who is the IT staff and what's her name?

So Reno is telling us that he has ascended Mt Everest? How come he couldn't take a selfie? This is pure lies!
No Nigerian has climbed Mt Everest before. Not one. Reno doesn't even have the stamina, except he was dropped off there by a helicopter.

May God deliver Leah Sharibu, in Jesus name, Amen.

Pls seek proper knowledge before you make comments on any issue

If wearing of hijab is a tenet of Islam, how many highly placed and politically inclined Muslim women and their daughters wear it all the time? We can start from Aisha Buhari and her daughters and run through the Nigerian political elite women.

Yes, it might not be a cultural thing only in Saudi Arabia. Many other Arab countries have similar cultures, but it's completely un-Nigerian and un-African.

helinues:
That Emir must be arrested

When Borno leaders accused Ihejirika of bombing innocent people in Baga (or is it Bama), you and your people were hailing them and accusing Ihejirika, even threatening that he'll be sent to ICC at the end of his tenure. If not for that opposition against Ihejirika, Boko Haram would have been badly decimated. Even your beloved Buhari said, "an attack against BH is an attack against the North".

Today, you call for the arrest of an emir who is crying out that innocent people are being killed. What if he's right? I remember how the NAF 'mistakenly' bombed an IDP camp 2 years ago which led to the loss of many IDPs. Was anyone punished for that 'error' till today?

You guys are stinking hypocrites.

1Sharon:
I think it's culture, Muslims in different countries have ways they dress

But MURIC will tell us that when a Muslim woman is denied the opportunity of wearing her hijab, it's as if she's been forced naked.

There's no Nigerian culture that has wearing hijab as part of it. It was strictly borrowed from Saudi Arabia and in Saudi, it's a culture for them not necessarily a tenet of Islam. So why do Nigerian Muslims make so much noise about the hijab thing?

Mr2wealth:
The day girls or women will lead protest in Nigeria will be the day rapture will take place. They are always thinking of marriage and money.

Come to think of it, I want to believe she is a Muslim! They can't try that here in Nigeria. They are always thinking and fighting for or over hijab and others. They will tell you it is unislamic.

Look at how beautifully they are dressed. They just covered their heads and necks but still look lovely. Their Nigerian counterparts will wear those annoying black, grey and variously coloured hijabs with some even covering their faces and hands, yet many don't look half as beautiful as these ones. Are those hijab-fighting Nigerian Muslim ladies more Muslim than these Sudanese ones?

HUMILITY!!! That's what he preaches and practice. Adeboye will never do this to ONI OF IFE. I just love this pope

What is the essence of that act, and why should Adeboye do it?

mightyhaze:
217mph !

I really don't know the essence of making cars that can travel at such mind boggling speeds when the users can never go on such speeds. In the UK for example, the maximum speed any vehicle can go on the motor way is 70mph. I don't know what it is in Russia.

Femeto:
But those Uber drivers need to dress properly.Can they go to an office environment in shorts?

Is he working in an office? Is there a dress code for taxi driving that he's flaunting?
As long as the Uber drivers are decently dressed, there shouldn't be any problem, except you are saying that wearing shorts makes someone look indecent.
By the way, I have seen a lady wear bum shorts to an airport and join a flight.

Honor10:
oga in that 1999, an ibo man Alex ekuewema contested, it's not that anyone give SW on a platter of gold

Ekwueme contested for PDP primaries and lost to Obasanjo cos the PDP hierarchy (especially those from the North) had agreed to zone the presidency to SW cos of Abiola.

Who did Obasanjo contest against in the main election? Was it not a Yoruba man? How come nobody else from any other region came out to contest?
We all know that if the North wanted to remain in power, they would have formed another party in that 1998 to contest the 1999 elections, since PDP decided to zone their presidency to SW.

eagleeye2:
Thank you for the clarification. But can any Southern Presidential candidate hope to win all the Northern states and his own region in a contest between the North and the South?

That's ONLY if there's no Northerner in that contest, but I can assure you that apart from 1999 where both contestants were from the SW because they were being compensated over Abiola factor, there will NEVER be any other presidential election in which a popular northerner won't contest. You can take that to the bank. The disunity of the South has given the North perpetual presidency on a platter.

eagleeye2:
Like play, like play the North are gradually telling the South (at least the south west) to forget 2023. And the disharmony between the Southwest and South east may actually return power to the North on a platter. If you like say that South east is 5%, but know that a Nigerian president must win at least 25% from each state.

The statement in bold is not true. A Nigerian president must win 25% in at least ⅔ of the states plus FCT, which makes it 25 states. It means that if a president fails to get up to 25% of the votes cast in each of the SE and SS states, but wins the simple majority of the votes, he will still be declared president. SE/SS have 11 states which a presidential hopeful can safely lose and still win the election, as long as he can win a simple majority of the votes.
I'm from the SE by the way, and I detest anything associated with APC.

Bantino:
Ogun state is synonymous with bad roads, infact the state should be called Bad Roads State

Yet some of the people that insult Abians because of their bad roads are people from Ogun State claiming Lagos.
I can bet you that apart from parts of Enugu – Onitsha Expressway (which is a federal road), no state road in Anambra State looks like this.

Giddy11513:
So let's assume it's just an ordinary normal citizen who left his house in that form would he be fined €10,000?

The fine included his rent arrears. It could have been a €2k per month apartment, and maybe it had been 3 months since he left before the landlord realised he had moved out without notifying him.

IamD18:
You are not a Christian, but a Pentecostal Muslim

Just like GoTV that will always start his posts with "...as a born again Christian...", yet his views are always bigoted against Christianity.

ntyce:
You think so cos they don't have access to bombs and guns yet...

An Ipob man is more dangerous than an Islamic terrorist...

Stop commenting on things you have no knowledge of, please.

So you think access is a problem for Igbo men? Were you the one that made or gave them access to the bombs they used during the civil war over 50 years ago?

The fact is that IPOB guys only want Biafra to separate from Nigeria. They don't want violence cos it will cripple their businesses. Most of them are business men. They want their own country. They are just like Catalonians (in Spain) and Kurdistans (in Iraq).

sarrki:
Lol

Hopeless leaders

It’s late guys winners take it all is the language

South west is the region taking it

You can reap where you didn’t sow

Oga, this is North Central talking. They gave far more votes to Buhari than your region did. Stop being insensitive cos you're the one benefitting. Always put yourself in other people's shoes.

Bolustical:
Both the author of this piece and editor have some screw not properly bolted in their heads.

Buhari must have really disappointed these brown envelop journalist, reason they are churning out these baseless and putrid opinions.

If their claims were true?

How come Lagos-Ibadan Railway is now nearing completion? How is it that work's going on Mambilla Hydro power project?

These were projects that were not started or stalled until PMB negotiated with the Chinese during his trip there.

Lagos to Ibadan is part of the Lagos to Kano standard gauge project initiated by PDP. Jonathan did the Abuja to Kaduna section. He signed the Lagos to Ibadan section, but couldn't initiate it cos Abuja to Kaduna wasn't completed yet. Buhari's government completed Abuja to Kaduna and obviously had to initiate Lagos to Ibadan.
The way Jonathan couldn't finish Abuja to Kaduna before the expiration of his tenure is the same way Buhari hasn't finished Lagos to Ibadan in this tenure, even though they ran ahead to commission it for campaign purposes.
Assuming Buhari lost, the next president would have had to finish it, and then commence the next section of the project, probably Kaduna to Kano or Ibadan to Abuja.

priceaction:
Another strategy to push our leaders to their evil loans. KO le werk. UK likely need loan after brexit than us. Infact world economy is totally crumbling. When I tell people that most of these people makes a lot of money off mumu African leaders by pushing them to unending debts that our future generation will never pay finish, turning many of unborn children into economic slaveries, they will not believe. People will be wondering why African development is being dragged. It always start like these comments. See them naming many African countries.

Taking loans don't increase the strength of an economy. If anything, the converse is even the case. Most African countries are already overburdened with debt, and that's part of why they are very poor economically.

Yes, they should name African countries cos that's where the most hopeless nations of the world are. At the moment, there are more than 3-4 times extremely poor people in subsaharan Africa than the rest of the world put together.

EdenH:
And whats exactly is my business, u guys voted for a terrorist. Enjoy!!!

Stop this!
They didn't vote for Buhari and El-Rufai. These are Southern Kaduna people.
By the way, the people killed in Anambra also voted for the terrorist?

uchefefe:
It is inferiority complex. There are plenty of African languages close in status to the ones you've mentioned. Swahili is spoken across multiple countries and has millions of speakers. People in America, Europe, and China wishing to do business in East Africa learn the language the same way people struggle to learn French or Portuguese.

The thing is, other African languages will never reach that status if Africans themselves want to throw them away for "important" languages.

Well, my emphasis is actually on Nigerian languages. If any of the major languages in Nigeria was the country's lingua franca, they would have had a greater worth.
If Nigeria breaks up and Northern Nigeria becomes a a Republic (Arewa), I can bet you that Hausa Language will gain more prominence. Same can be said about Yoruba and Igbo languages.
Apart from Swahili, Afrikaans is another African language that has some international recognition cos it's used very frequently in South Africa alongside English language.

SmallSimba:
I think this is African inferiority. Would the same wife be uncomfortable if the man spoke to his children in french?

Lol.
There are international languages and African local languages. A language that cannot open doors for you in the international scene is truly inferior.
Imagine me now wanting to learn another language and I decide to learn a second Nigerian language. E no make sense na. I can however learn French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese etc.

superlanny:
You will rise out of this adversity by God's grace, even tho your high-handedness caused your downfall, rochas my man, I will always respect you, for you are one of the rare intelligent Igbos out there.

What kind of stupid statement did you make in bold there? Rare intelligent Igbos? How can you say intelligent Igbos are rare? Which tribe has more geniuses in Nigeria at the moment?

uchefefe:
The bolded are good points. I guess I shouldn't let my frustrations get to me. I just get tired becuase it's not as if I want someone to sit down and give me lessons every day. Just speak to me in it, point out some objects a few times a day and tell me their meaning, anything. When I was putting effort into Yoruba, I always had friends willing to teach me and speak to me in the language. Maybe I will have to look online and find a tutor somewhere.

In your personal experience, do Igbo people in Nigeria often speak their language the way Yoruba people do?


I would like insight onto how you came to this conclusion. I think it will help me.

I really feel for you. You passionately desire to learn but nobody to teach you. I wish I was in ur dad's position.
I have cousins who were born and raised in the US. They are in their 20s now, and basically know nothing about Igbo language.
I have promised myself that my children must learn the language when they are growing up. That's one of the reasons I insisted I must date and marry an Igbo woman, because Igbo Language must be the lingua franca of our home.

It will be much easier to raise ur children to speak Igbo if your wife is Igbo and is willing to speak d same language with you to the kids. I have a friend who grew up in a family where both parents had different native tongues, and the parents decided they must never communicate with them in native languages to avoid causing conflict and misunderstanding in the family.
Your wife may not feel comfortable if you're speaking Igbo to your sons and she's left out of whatever is being said. Apart from that, since you won't always be with the kids, how much can you really teach them when they will spend most of the growing time with their mum (talking about the commonest situation seen in most homes)?

Bolustical:
Lagos is the baby of the Yorubas and pride of Nigeria.

The only state that the PDP has not and will never rule.

The feats achieved in real estate and property in Lagos is one that would have been impossible without visionary and progressive leaders like Bola Tinubu.

We expect that this will spread to Ogun and Oyo too in no long time.

God bless the Yorubas,

God bless Nigeria.

PDP hasn't ruled Borno and Yobe too.

Lagos is strategically positioned to be great, Tinubu or not. These are some of the reasons:

1. It's a coastal city with deep sea ports which can accommodate large vessels. It's ports have been servicing the entire nation for decades.

2. It's the most populated city in Africa. Investments therefore naturally get to it first before any other location in Nigeria.

3. It's a former federal capital territory and had a lot of federal investments in it, which set a template for further development.

The truth is that the success of Lagos is not a function of Yorubas. If any other tribe had owned Lagos, it would still have been this successful.
Take a look at Abuja for example. Even without sea ports and other economic potentials, Abuja is growing in leaps and bounds, in real estate and in population. In d next few decades, can we turn around and attribute the success of Abuja to Gbagyi people?

Ibadan is the headquarters of Yoruba land and culture. That is a city built and sustained only by Yorubas. Any success made by Ibadan is strictly due to Yorubas. As for Lagos, it's a completely different story.

You can call me IPOB or any other name you deem fit, it doesn't matter. I am being very sincere and objective here.

I am sure Principles of Management was part of their course outline. Whoever studied the topic would be able to answer the question whether they are football lovers or not.
