They are insane to issue out such uncouthed statement!!

What then is the faith of the Nigerian students?


All these incessant strike is among the reason why a lot of youths involved in fruad and other crimes

Dem dey talk of money you dey talk of youth. You know how much the lecturers are fighting for here. let the kids relax first abeg

6 months? Those of you who said you have been praying for Nigeria. Are you sure God still has ears? Cause it seems he not only blessed you with a stupid president but added some bunch of clueless and nonsensical legislatures to the blessings.
This is the period of double blessings.

Singing "Everything Na double double..........Na double double"

Nazgul:
These suggestions would be great if implemented. The only disadvantage of this suggestion is that tuition fee of government owned institutions would skyrocket and might even overtake that of private schools.

Such development would make it almost impossible for the average Nigerian parent to comfortably train his child in the university.

If the average Nigerian parent does not train his child in the University, is that a crime? University Education is a scam and irrelevant. If the system was working, every SSCE holder should be able to get a decent job and start his/her life from there. If you then decide to further your education that should be your choice and responsibility not your parent. The system is failed that's why we rely on parents to still be training someone who is above 18 years. If we want our educational value to rise government should make the university autonomous. Most of the institution problems will even be solved faster. Sex for grades, incompetent lecturers, lecturers deliberately failing students and so on will be solved faster.

Is this what daily trust has been reduced to?

Wow!! So 1997 is 26 years ago? Ah!
It looks like yesterday in my eyes.

I'll drop my comment. Let me cough first


Edit
This issue had been previously overflogged here on NL. I think around 2010 or 2011, before that NL crash .

ASUU is another political organisation. I pity for any silly student that joins ASUU in castigating the government. I graduated in 2007 and before I graduated, every strike ASUU engaged in they kept saying they were fighting for student. And my questions has always been how? See I know my position is not the popular one but if we all sit down and apply common sense you will see the sense in what I'm saying. Now ask yourself, how many of these top ASUU chairman kids attends schools in Nigeria. If we are saying our leaders destroyed the country ASUU are among the leaders destroying Nigeria and the earlier Nigerians realise this the better. A Professor is a Nigerian leader, A VC is a Nigerian leader, etc

Now here is the crux of the matter. There is no reason why any of these civil servants (Doctors, teachers, journalists, Police, Army) should go on strike, I repeat no reason. In Nigeria however we have seen doctors going on strike abandoning patients who might even be on life support to die simply because government did not pay them enough. How crazy does that sound. It is also the same madness that has continually occurred in the teaching profession. Now I'm not holding brief for government. Nigerian government has been useless over the years to say the least. There is no civil servant that will tell you today that he/she is satisfied with what the government has done in their agency and praise the government. But how many of them do you see engaging frequently on strike? I want to use the Nigerian Army in this regard as a case study. These guys has never gone on strike even when it was clear that government bought fake bullet proof and all manner of nonsense that have been meted out on them. These guys are still on the job. It is not easy. It's not easy for anyone in this country and the least we would expect from unions is to alleviate or reduce the problem of the common man. My own humble submission is for government to either scrap the Union(ASUU) or they could make it in a manner that joining ASUU should not be mandatory. Rather there should be two or three recognised union where every staff can choose to join any and choose who and when you will pay your dues. The dues should not be automatic deduction from your salary. The Union are thieves and if NANS was still a credible union it should have engaged them seriously.

I expect to be insulted for this opinion though

BluntCrazeMan:
His interviews are now becoming too much..
..
Some others have not done even once.
..
..
Now, TV stations are now using him to chase viewership.
..
..
How much are they paying him sef?

The interviews are not too much. That is the difference between a youth and an ancestor. Most of the other have not done one because they are not strong to walk to the studio or even sit for one. But this man does it effortlessly.

epondudu:
He as never for once Left JEJ, he still praise and respect JEJ.

If this is true, then doesn't this mean the guy is either a stark fool or a betrayal. One of the reasons Atiku finds it difficult to penetrate the south south in the previous election is because of how he worked against Goodluck.

epondudu:
Reno is a man of respectability and he constantly stands by his allies, no one can take that away from him, when you have someone like Reno behind you is like having a thousand men solidly behind you.
Most of you are antagonizing the man because of who he is. The man deserves respect Reno the table shaker

If he is really a man that stands by his allies he wouldn't be on Atiku side today. I thought Reno was GEJ ally

ITbomb:
You are still confusing brilliance with intelligence here.

An intelligent person tends to research more about a subject before asking while a brilliant person ask more questions to learn

You are the one confusing yourself. What is the difference between brilliant, wise, intelligent, knowledgeable, clever and argute? You are free to use google

JAMO84:
Mpurumirin has eaten all your brain

Was that the only part you heard? You didn't hear when he said that will make us to be dependent on our local products?

If we are depending on local production, why should we worry about dollar? Has America ever worried about Naira?

@ the bolded part, did he mention how he will achieve that based on the present state of things.

Tommydare:
This your Bible reference shows you are an atheist. Ok, Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory and the big bang theory that you believed, how through is that too? If you are very intelligent. Some of thes scientist's theories are not empirical. That's why they used to tackle each other. And besides, where were they when everything was evolving for them to know that was what actually happened? And if you say you dont believed in their theories and shit, i dare you to give us an account of how this world evolved since you are disregarding Biblical account.

I will disregard most of the nonsense you wrote and address the part I deem fit as most of your post is based on false assumptions.

At that bolded part, what theory are we talking about cause there are lots of theories. Gravity that you can feel is also a theory.

Your next question is that I should give you an account of how the world began since I'm disregarding biblical account. You put your questions like you understand what evolution is. But the truth is that you don't otherwise there are some questions you ask there that are irrelevant. So I will put the question back to you, What do you know and understand as evolution? It is when you answer it, I will correct your misconceptions.

Point to note: I said I was a teacher, you forgot that part. Just as you can't have a pastor or any cleric that will tell you he doesn't believe in Jesus and the Bible so also there is not supposed to be any scientists that should tell you he does not believe in scientific theories because in the first instance scientific theories are not to be believed but be understood. And if after understanding it you feel there is need for further research, you are free to go ahead and conduct your research and prove the theory wrong. Karl Marx and the others proved Malthusian theory of population was wrong. As a school proprietor, if a science teacher tells me he doesn't believe in a scientific theory, I will consider him incompetent and start looking for a replacement immediately. Most graduates we have now are not qualified to say the least.

Taiwojon:
The student is.

Was the student there when God created him.
Did the student have a life before he was born?

If the student was wise, won't he has seen that the sign are everywhere

The bolded part is funny actually. So if you are a teacher you expect your student to be wise? If the student is wise then he should be the teacher while you should be the student.

AtikuOkowa:
Intelligent once rarely ask questions, they would like to ask, but upon realising that they understand it, they refuse.

They only ask you to tie you with your words in arguments.

Please don't confuse people that ask you questions because of argument and those that ask you questions because of knowledge. There is no intelligent person that rarely ask questions. It does not happen and it's not possible. For you to gain knowledge you have to ask questions. It is from the available knowledge that you get wisdom. It is this wisdom people call intelligence. What I presume you meant to say is that intelligent people don't ask questions in classroom. If this is what you meant then I might agree with you. But the fact that the person is not asking questions in class does not mean he/she is not asking questions from somewhere else.

Fairview1:
I love this. How long have you been teaching?

I've been teaching since 2006. I currently own a school now

Miracood2:
I strongly disagree with this assertion.

If you are a teacher, you'll understand that it's not everybody that asks a lot of questions is intelligent.

Some ask questions, stupid questions in fact just to cause confusion where there is non.

My fiancee who happens to be a teacher told me this.

This your fiancee, how long has she been in the profession? Intelligent people don't get intelligent overnight. It takes years of practice, asking questions and sometimes the questions might appear foolish but the answerer have to understand what the student knows and understand why he/she is asking such questions before concluding it's a foolish question. I'm saying this due to my many years of experience as a teacher.

For example: the Bible says God created the world in six days and on the seventh day God rested.

The students question: Who was there to confirm that God built the world in six days

Teacher: That is a foolish question. You are trying to cause confusion when there is none

Conclusion: Who is foolish among the two? The teacher or the student?

I'm not sure of her age but it's very possible for a 12 years to look like this as I have a daughter within that age.

luminouz:
Shūt it abeg!!

I'm a scientist but this is getting out of hand.

From Monkeypox( that other countries discovered abroad and suddenly NCDC already has daily updates) to Marburg or Johannesburg or whatever?

It's looking like some serious scamdemic going on behind the scenes.

I can't even begin to believe the speed that COVID-19 disappeared after global lockdown, despite over 60% of Nigerians not taking the vaccine.

Dafuq!!!

Did you say 60%? It's when you hear the total amount of vaccine that was actually brought to Nigeria and the amount that wasted(expired) because people didn't take it that is when you will know less than 10% actually took the vaccine. Even health practitioners didn't take it. It was a shame and embarrassment actually

PaChukwudi44:
Is that why they should go about hiring touts to pose in Bishop's apparel

Don't mind them. If it was a Christian that was caught in an imam robe or hijab, by now they would have been calling for his/her death

VladimirPutiin:
Why did he switch off the mic ? Is he scared ?
This is the time to speak out not minding who ox is gored

As I am not the pastor I will not be able to answer this. I'm also not related to those in the helm of affairs in the church. I'm just any other regular member

VladimirPutiin:

Abiola was best friend to Babangida a well known drug lord at that time. They were all in the drug business those years.

I'm even surprised with this rubbish the family is saying. Even Fela knew Abiola was not pure and he sang about it once or twice. Why didn't the family counter Fela when he said Abiola was a thief "International thief thief......" The fact that Abiola is a criminal is not in doubt but he won the June 12 election no doubt

helinues:
The youths of no tomorrow who have no respect for their elders

Where I come from, elderly people like Tinubu rest at home while able bodied men work for him to eat. I've never seen a condition where the elderly one is saying he will work hard and fight dirty so that the youth can eat. Is something wrong with us here? This is part of the dirt he said he is willing to take when he came out to contest

festacman:
I will not surprised if national president of ASUU has children attending foreign university.

Nigeria is a poor country that has no place for the poor.

Ike agwugwom!

You will not be surprised? It means you don't know your country and ASUU. No top ASUU member have their kids attending Nigerian universities, No VC child attends Nigerian universities except the VC is in a private university. ASUU is another political organisation. Know this and know peace

aribisala0:
The line that was sold to Nigerians was that AC i.e Tinubu's gang would bring their administrative expertise and Buhari his security expertise

Well AC and Tinubu were not trusted and were effectively sidelined

Buhari and his CPC travellers proved to be nepotistic , incompetent and even dangerous to the country

Fundamentally Buhari lacks the capacity to supervise key appointees. So he has failed to sack anyone of note even when failing.

I wonder what kind of conversations he has with, the Finance Minister besides borrowing and more borrowing.
Over and above all he is dishonest. Buhari talked about restructuring but on getting there he changed to RUGA

To be frank AC were not sidelined. Look at it, Kemi Adeosun was finance minister, Fashola works, Aregbesola, Lai Mohammed and even Osinbanjo was in charge of the economic team. Yet they failed woefully. The failure of APC is not just on Buhari as a person alone, it is the entire APC as a party that failed. Didn't Fashola say a serious government should be able to solve power issues within a year or so? Has he not been there for years? APC failed squarely

id911:
Is this actually true?

See baba if this news hit front page, mention me or quote me. I can bet my balls Seun will never take this to front page. The guy is obsessed with Tinubu.

famouscargo4u:
The constitution also state categorically that "there shall be no state religion" which implies that anyone can do anything. Moreover, it is a fundamental human right. Freedom of religion.

Forget about what the constitution says in this regard.
It is the same constitution that allows state money to be used for Hajj and the rest.
It is the same constitution that disregarded the secular way of dressing to an organisation and state that people should wear hijab. What is the business of the court with hijab if religion is personal? Did anybody force anyone to remove his hijab in his private space? No body should attempt to fool anyone here. Religion is part of the Nigerian government

DispatcherLagos:
I always knew churches are politicized and to a very high extent tribal.
Imagine the silence of the "owners of these churches"
Redeem christian church of God
Winners
MFM
Deeper life
Etc
Just because Tinubu is Yoruba like them, they've all gone mute on this

Please remove winners from that list. If you have not heard of Oyedepo's message encouraging his members to vote for someone from their faith, search for it. As for the others they will soon speak up. Most of them have spoken it's just that you have not heard. No pastor will like to give publicity to such statement. In my church when the pastor was about to make such statement he switched off the mic.

As for the OP you should be ashamed of yourself. The SW or the Yorubas have not in anyway supported Tinubu in any of the nonsense he is doing. He is totally on his own. I suspect you have a mission with this thread though

I noticed it too and was about creating a similar thread.

Splitmind:
Even if that happened in the past, let us learn to move on from this minor issue.

You are mad. Feel free to report me to the mods. A group of rascals kidnapped little girls and consistently raped them till they got pregnant while some were killed. Many had a lot of psychological problems when they were rescued. Some set were always scared when they hear an aeroplane flying past and you call that a minor issue? You seriously called that a minor issue?

BluntTheApostle:
First of all, a Muslim-Muslim ticket is just a strategy. It has nothing to do with faith or religion or the incompetence of Christian Northern politicians.

The cold truth is that the APC can only win this election with a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

With Shettima, APC will have a close fight with PDP in North East, and with the Buhari factor and the absence of Kwankwaso in PDP, clinch the heavily populated Kano state, and the Buhari factor alone will do well for APC in Katsina.

It is a winning strategy.

The first thing is to win the election. When it comes to competence or organizing a competent team, you can't deny that Tinubu is very good at that.

Your Tinubu is a comedian and his strategy is that of a deluded mind. How do you strategies on winning Kano and loose Rivers, majority of the South State and the middle belt. You think the north alone can guarantee him the seat. Let's see about that. Even rational thinking Muslims up north will not even vote for him as they will see this as a form of injustice. So the truth is that he is not guaranteed of the entire Muslims vote plus he will loose the entire Christian vote whether in the north or south. How is that a winning strategy? People like Bwala who had defended APC are coming to their senses and those are northerners.

Forget about Tinubu. He is no longer a contestant in this election. The contest is between PDP and LP

ElSudani:
Only fanatics like you are fixated on a politicians faith. Yoir faith is a personal relationship between you and your creator. His faith is not going to provide you a good paying job, put a roof over your head and send your children to good schools. Why then are you fixated on inanity?

If you call me a fanatic so be it. Your principal that is not a fanatic yet find it difficult to work with people of other faith that are close to him.

At a time when Muslims are entering churches and killing people for no other reason but their faith or Christians being killed for saying something against Mohammed. I would need a strong political figure in government we can run to and rally around in the event that things blow out of proportion.
