Problem is immunity. According to Nigerian laws, you can't be arrested while in power (as a Governor and President )

Atiku my daddy.


Atiku my Daddy

Ode ni e. Who's your father ? After elections, you'll go back to your suffering and smiling. Just because bubu is not the way, you think recycling this corrupt old man is the way. When would people your age become leaders of tomorrow with this attitude ?

He isn't the one,as for the affidavits,l did that last year but it was rejected in the last job interview l went for,l am just tired

Do you have scanned copies of your certificates ?

HigherEd:
The "State university system" is not working because the private sector is not interested in investing in them. Instead the govt should approach and collaborate with private universities. For example rather than have Ogun State Uni, why not give a annual allocation meant for OSU to Babcock while merging OSU campus as an extension of Babcock, so Babcock would absorb a OSU students. The extra fund from Ogun would help Babcock keep down fees significantly while ensuring govt is no longer directly burdened with investment in physical infrastructure, unions and all other shenanigans that come with public universities. If the state governments are consistent on their own part then the model will work because there would be a larger pool of resources which includes Babcock proprietors, State govt and a moderate tuition.

In this model state govts can adopt three private universities with proven financial sustainability records and co-fund them alongside their proprietors in exchange for increased enrollment(50% indigenes, 50% others) and lower fees not exceeding 200,000.00 for courses with exception of medicine and surgery. NB: Northern states should not use this model.


USA for instance spends 4%(last i checked) of total budget on education(less than Nigeria). But you would be mistakened to equate that with a poor university system because they significantly share the burden with the private sector. The US federal govt has no university (except military academies) but give grants to Harvard and Standford.
Now compare the US system to that of public universities in UK who went on strike some months ago or Australian public universities which have been crying against cuts in funding.

Public universities i suggest should be left for small nations where population increase is little. E.g Nordic nations, rwanda etc.

All you have said is correct. But how about we look at it from another angle. The USA system works but it is not perfect because it is fully capitalist in nature. Most families cannot afford to send their children to college making people opt for student loans that they will most likely pay till they die. However, In countries where the government is more involved in the education sector, they will be able to regulate the excesses of a fully profit driven educational enterprise. This would help the masses more than the USA system. And for a developing country like Nigeria, it is easy to exclude a majority of the masses from getting quality education.

As it is already, university education is too expensive for a lot of people. State governments are owing salaries not to talk of providing sponsorship for enough of their indigenes to afford such exorbitant fees. There is a high unemployment rate, so sorry, banks won't be loaning you money to go to school. The rich and influential would most likely use any financial aid opportunities for their own children and families (due to our corrupt system). We already have the highest number of out of school children in Africa. Even if you manage to finish secondary school, you'll probably never be able to afford university education. Which keeps you poor and economically challenged and favors the already rich. Same poor person will not be able to afford university for his/her children. And the cycle of poverty continues.

Mgbadike80:
Under Buhari, everything is an opportunity to make money for the government. I hope this wouldn't trigger depositors withdrawing their money in panic thereby putting the banks in distress and failure.

I think the fine is good. Some of these companies do not favour us in any way because they have businesses here and its the government business to ensure we benefit. They probably move all their profit back to their country, pay bogus salary to a few to reduce tax they pay to the government and still employ lots of expatriates that they don't even pay in naira. Add that to normal bribery in Nigeria where we teach them how to evade taxes. They won't run anywhere, they make mad money here and exploit us.

Same with the UK coming here. Trust me, its not for your own good but for their own interests. They are leaving the EU and they need new places to trade their products. This would affect our local manufacturers when they flood the market. The government is responsible to make sure the deal favors us by making them setup companies here, employing our people and selling in our currency and other policies.

dukie25:
Both of them would be replaced by Buhari in that prison by 2019.
Buhari's disregard for the rule of law will finally catch up with him.

But what disregard of the rule of law? Has Duara been sacked against the rule of law ? Or was he not guilty of all that he has done? Even if you do not look at his current offense and disbelieve it, what about his past antecedents? Or even Dasuki that embezzled money meant for arms leading to deaths of thousands of soldiers (families of people like you and me )? I am not saying you should like Buhari. But please stop supporting these other criminals, because that's what they are. And the earlier they land in prison, the better for all of us. Or do you think if people like this continue in another regime, things will change for our people ?

GSA01:
Reading through comments on this Thread, makes me wonder if Nigerians are actually the ones reading it or its paid agent who wants to derailed or bring down threads on purpose. Because if the acting President had not sack the DG, they will say the government is ineffective and now the government has taken a drastic action, yet people are satisfy.. its really unfortunate that we allow hate to cloud our judgement..

Thank you very much. I wonder what if the government can do anything right with Nigerians because it will be twisted. Saraki is not a saint by any means, yet you will see uneducated Nigerians supporting these thieves. These guys are power drunk and they don't care about the masses. We are in a Democratic government and there is little the presidency can do alone. Even if you make a case and arrest them, they already have laws in place to protect them and they can hire the best lawyers. The presidency cannot just jail them, its not military. That's why very few of these guys ever get jailed for their actions, yet you'll see members of the masses supporting these bastards that have sold your future generation. Bad schools, bad roads, healthcare, electricity......corruption every where. Yes, there are cabals in these country even if the presidency is not composed of saints.
They are deliberately keeping you stupid so you can support them when they give you small food just like dogs. The presidency has a right to sack this daura bastard because what he did against government orders is reputation damaging and the same people like you would have blamed the government for it making saraki looking like a victim.

Think Nigerians! People are behind these fulani herdmens and other killings going on in Nigeria. Don't waste your vote in 2019 to recycle the same set of people keeping you underdeveloped.

zibe:
Hi. Please how much did the super priority cost you? and did you apply from outside the UK?

Thank you.

Check the TLS Nigeria website for the cost. It may have changed. I applied in TLS Ikeja branch (Lagos).

Hardlife:
Please try and read to the end.
I am a young guy early twenties. I
have been playing virtual since 2014.
I was never this useless and
unpurposeful.
My life changed when i entered university.
It all started in 2014 when i walked
into a nairabet close to my school and
saw people playing virtual. I decided
to play, as i remember i won that
period. I never knew the day i started was the
day i gave the devil the key to my life. In 2014, i spent my school fees on
virtual, lost everything. Sold my
phones, my feeding money and
everything. All went to virtual. So i was not able to continue my
education, though i remained in
school not letting my parents know till
this year. Dear reader, from 2014 to date have
been the worst years of my life. I stole
to play virtual, sold my properties, my
clothes, shoes. I became an addict. Even not being a
formal student, i still collected money from my parents, school fees
and allowance. Everything ends up in
virtual house. I could not even buy good clothes.

May God help you sir. I would not claim to be a therapist or anything but I'm sure there are good resources online on stopping gambling as an addiction. First, I thank God for you that you're able to recognise this addiction and that you want to stop it. Its going to be hard, you're going to find yourself slipping sometimes, but don't give up. Even when you fall back to it, once you remember your goal, just stop.

Also,
1. I think you should get yourself really busy with either school or business and surround yourself with good people, people you want to be like.

2. You should work in close collaboration with your family too and let someone be responsible for checking up on you. Don't hold lots of money. Tell your family to pay school fees for you by themselves.

3. Buy a non smart phone. Keep the smart phone with a friend who knows of your addiction. You can come use it under his supervision.

4. Block all betting websites from the smart phone.

5. Get closer to God (I don't know what religion you follow)

6. Reward yourself. If you're able to go two weeks without betting for example, treat yourself out to a nice meal.

7. Whenever you feel the urge, have friends of standby who you can talk to.

I pray God makes it easy for you. I wish you the best

Paperwhite:
Today we presents to you numerous fleet of exotic cars and magnificent multi-million Naira mansion acquired by Govt. Bello amidst perpetual hunger and abject poverty in the state.
Now you know why salaries are not paid, the state remains unviable, under-developed and projects were uncompleted.

And this is for real .And EFCC are sitting as the lame ducks that they are in case like this,Oshiomole, Buratai & other criminals of the APC government.

Well, EFCC cannot do anything now because we have laws to protect criminals. You might want to learn more about immunity (while in power) to protect people like him. Youths have to start getting involved more, to know the law and the lawmakers.

It's better you love and accept your body as it is. It'll get bigger as you gain more weight though. I used be a little conscious of my breast size before marriage. But it turns out my husband loves it just that way. In fact, he adores it. Dear, try to learn to love it like that and be confident.

Visa Type - Tier 2 (Work visa - 2 years)
Visa application center - TLS Ikeja

First Visa Timeline (Priority):
16th April: Submitted online
19th April: Went for biometrics (prime-time)
19th April: Application received in Sheffield Email
20th April: Application with ECO for a decision
28th April: Decision made
30th April: Passport ready for pickup (Refusal)

Reason for refusal : English language proof not accepted. I had put my degree certificate and transcripts but it was rejected. I needed to obtain UK NARIC statement of comparability and English language assessment for that degree certificate and a document from my university stating that my degree was taught in English. My degree was obtained in one of the federal universities here in Nigeria.


Second Visa Timeline (Super priority -24 hours) :

Obtained all the necessary documents to meet English language requirements as stated above.

13th May: Submitted Application Online
14th May: Went for bio-metrics (walk-in appointment)
15th May: Passport ready for pick up mail from TLS (I got the visa)

I noticed nobody has posted about super priority here before so I decided to share my experience. You could say it did take 24 hours even though I had been refused before.

Good luck to you all.

Prognose:
All men cheat. In Nigeria, UK, Canada or Australia, all men cheat. It doesn't stop them taking care of their wives and children, it doesn't stop them from carrying out their duties responsibly. Women on the other hand, enter a relationship with their heart and soul and can kill for the one they love. In fact there was a study that said men that cheat are less likely to engage in domestic violence. It's the men that are caught that are hung out to dry.
It might not be a nice thing to hear, but it's the truth.





One guy will come now and say he has never cheated. Give it time

Funny thing is, it has now been seen that women also cheat as much as men. They also get tired of sleeping with one man but societal expectations, love and maturity (its not good for the family unit ) stops them from exploring. In societies where they are sexually progressive these days, we can infer that women sleep around as much as men and fight not to be called whores because of that.

I'm not advocating for both parties to be adulterous, I'm just saying it takes God, upbringing and self control to be faithful in marriage.

STRETCH22:
Sorry to bother you again. What are the questions like? What are we to expect from the home study curriculum??

The questions are based on what is in the homestudy curriculum. Just study it well and you should be able to answer most of the questions. Goodluck

Atom57:
If anyone has a question about the fellowship(except the salary), you can ask me... peace out...

Thanks. So if one has to leave the fellowship before four years due to unforseen circumstances, what will be the penalty ?

tosyne2much:
This is just a preamble of how he will unleash his wrestling/boxing skills to administer 50kg worth of punches on your face in conjunction with "smack down" when he finally pays your bride price. These are the salient qualities of potential wife beaters yet you choose to stick to such a man probably because your source of livelihood depends on him. (it's very obvious). I mean do you think marriage is a "magician" that changes people completely from beasts to angels , especially a man that is already showing you his true colour even without legal ownership of you?

This is what to expect when you're too dependent on a man for financial security and your self esteem is thrown to the wind. I hope this will serve as a source of lesson to many Nairaland ladies who are always opening irrelevant threads to express their love for already made men and disgust for broke guys. They need to see how some of these men treat these "long throat" ladies like poo before/after marriage. The way you present yourself to a man determines how he will respect you.

Since you can see the signs of dangers with your korokoro eyes yet you're bent on getting married to this same person next month. That was how my female friend despise all advice and got married to a man with similar character with the OP's fiance, but now she has returned back to her parents home due to assault.

Sha don't later come and open an irrelevant thread asking us ways to cope with your temperamental husband because we won't even let it creep to the front page.

Anyway, I wish you an abusive marriage life in advance with your potential wife beater

.

While I have no problem with your first paragraph, you may need to tone it down a bit in the second one. First, its not only men who are richer than their wives that abuse them. We have such men across all classes of race, religion and financial class. Because you are broke does not make you a good man nor does it mean you will appreciate your wife more. And while I don't support gold digging or marrying a man just for money without considering other things like his character and upbringing, a woman does not have to be insulted because er husband is richer than her or she's financially dependent on him.

You cannot copy the west in the parts that suit you alone. How many of you Nigerian men can share house chores with your wife? Since she's bringing in the same as you. In some families where both spouses are working, one sometimes stops due to the demanding nature of their work to have more time for the kids, could be the father or mother. Even some couples abroad make this decision and decide to live on a single income while bringing up children in a good manner.

Also, a woman can decide to be a full time housewife, part time housewife or a full career woman, she doesn't deserve to be insulted as long as this decision is made with her partner. At the end of the day, what works for family A is different from what works for family B.

I agree with your suggestion to the OP though, one has to be really careful, so you don't rush out of the marriage later.

Ifymma:
OP give her two alabukun missed with dry gin half glass. let her take it in the morning before she eats.

When she dies, this person will not be there to serve jail time with you

Op, do not commit murder by abortion. If she does not want to marry you, its fine. But she should keep the baby. Tell her you'll support her every step of the way. If she insists she's aborting, I hope you know abortion is against the Nigerian law. If she dies, you are in trouble, no one will remember/hear that you offered to marry her. Nobody in her family probably knows she's pregnant now and if they eventually find out, you are in trouble.

To be on he safe side, inform her family members (maybe sisters ) and let them know you are taking responsibility for the baby but their sister wants to abort. Don't give her money for it. Leave them to make their decision.

Babadee30:
Put a call to your BFA asap telling him/her your situation. I assumed you have joined the bootcamp channel on slack.

Thanks I'll do just that.

Good morning guys, I got invited into bootcamp but I fell sick on Saturday and was hospitalized. Got discharged this morning though but I cant make it today. I've sent them a mail yesterday If I can be excused for today but no reply yet. @voltz and everyone else, help a sister out if you can by telling them to read their recruitment mail when you get there. And have fun

dammieco:
Impressive hun? Maybe. It will never be a surprise to me if the money is mismanaged. These professors will collect the money and then give the research work to the Masters students to do it. Fantastic right? Well yes. But the problem is these students will spend their money and also be spent on the research without any access to the $2m. At the end of the good work, all glory will go to the professors and worse part of the story is by the time the work is to be published, the names of these students will be found wanting.

You may be right. But do you think universities just get funding for research just like that? I believe only an institution where promising research has been going on gets such funds in order to produce more results. Nobody just gives out $2m dollars like that, its an intervention for further research and I think its more than "some" masters student. Cancer is quite a serious disease that other scientists all over the world are trying to find effective cures.

Me four , looking forward to seeing you guys there. Anyway, there are some things i want to confirm. From my understanding of the mail, campus-based self-learning clinic starts Monday 8th, followed by 3 days home-based self-learning (9-11th) and then one full day (Friday 12th) on campus focused on building software products in teams and selection of participants into week two (15th-19th) of boot-camp. Any contrary opinions?

nachan:
Hey guys
In just arrived ketu from Enugu. I scheduled my interview for tomorrow. Does anybody know Lag enough to direct me to andela office from ketu bus stop?
Please help if you can....

It would be better to ask from trustworthy neighbours or people around you in Ketu for the fastest route. Show them the address.
I can only give directions from oshodi but I'm not sure that's the fastest route. Take a bus going to oshodi from Ketu. From oshodi, ask sellers or people in the motor park where to get bike to ilupeju. Tell the bike man you are going to mutual benefits assurance building, the one with sterling bank signage, ikorodu road or town planning. Its just 100 naira from oshodi. Good luck

Hi guys, I got an invite for the interview today . I'm so excited!!! Anyone else? Lets pray we make it to the very end
