Can we talk about this habit in Nigeria where every new government comes in and starts renaming institutions instead of building new ones?

It’s like the only idea they have is to repaint, rename, and rebrand. Not to create or improve anything meaningful.

Universities, airports, roads, stadiums… things that already have identity and legacy, they just slap a new name on it and call it achievement.

It’s not only lazy. It’s wicked.

Look at other countries.
Oxford University in the UK has carried the same name for over 900 years.
Harvard University in the US has kept its name for nearly 400 years.
Even places like Times Square in New York or Buckingham Palace in London still carry the names that shaped their history.

You don’t see them changing names every election cycle.

You're not honoring anyone by doing that. You’re erasing history and confusing the next generation.

Prestige isn’t built by renaming. It’s built by vision, legacy, and impact.

🎭 Final Thought: The Theatre of Superiority
The B-2 is not proof of U.S. superiority.
It is proof of U.S. desperation—a need to cling to outdated symbols to maintain a fading narrative. And in the real world, where war isn’t CGI and missiles don’t blink, illusions don’t survive.
So let them protect it, polish it, parade it.
Iran is watching. Iran is ready.
And when the bomber comes, so will the funeral of the myth.

Israel relationship and western loyalty needs to be studied

Togo has a great educational system, Benin republic is more complicated.

I don't think we need Benin degree in Nigeria 😂

Thanks to Yahaya Bello, no higher institution in Kogi State can go on strike — he did well in that aspect. But even at that, he has stolen a lot of money.

All kinds of thieves shouldn’t be harbored. He’s one of them and should be in Kuje Prison if not for the selective justice system we have in Nigeria.

In fact, almost everyone in APC seems to have the same psychiatric disorder — otherwise, how else can one explain the gross incompetence, misconduct, mismanagement, and the damning economic destruction of our great nation?

Doesn’t this also explain why they gathered people who resemble them during the presidential visit to Benue State?

Contractors will start taking government contracts serious now... Since all of them think government stuffs aren't serious.

That's exactly what it is, Iran do not deserve a Nuc.

Evidence or nothing, Israel showed us evidence.

Okay, what exactly are iran military currently attacking in Israel?

I de pity iran anyways, they're playing a long game

Very negatively overall. I said negatively overall
How has education improved save for student loans?

You're absolutely right. The truth is, subsidy was removed but the real burden was dumped on the masses, while the savings went straight into elite-centered projects. Roads for who? Power hasn't improved. Food is still expensive. Farmers are still on their own. Health and education still in coma.

Yet, if a politician loots billions today, they’ll still walk free tomorrow — maybe even get appointed again. No real consequences.

At the end of the day, every major policy feels like it was made to favour the connected few — not ordinary Nigerians. It's all pain for the people, profit for the cronies.

ivandragon:
It was pure Deception.

The issues that made both subsidies unsustainable remain and that is why things are not improving the way they should.

Nigeria problems seems endless

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.

I’ve been reflecting on the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria by President Tinubu — a decision that, understandably, sparked a lot of public frustration and hardship.

The sudden jump in fuel prices affected transportation, food, and practically every corner of our economy. It hit hard — especially for the average Nigerian.

But beyond the pain and politics, I think we owe it to ourselves to evaluate what we’ve actually gained, and what we’ve lost.

For one, long fuel queues have disappeared. Black market chaos has quieted. Supply chains — especially in more remote areas — have improved.

I spoke with a ride-hailing driver in Abuja who mentioned he now operates all day without worrying about fuel scarcity.

A small business owner I know said she can now restock with better predictability because her suppliers aren’t stuck in endless queues anymore.

These may seem like small wins, but for those living paycheck to paycheck, they matter deeply.

However, let’s not forget how we got here.

The PDP had 16 years with the subsidy system. Billions were spent, but the fundamental issues were never addressed.

Then came the APC, who, instead of fixing the problem, prolonged it and kept the illusion going until it became unsustainable.

So now, Tinubu tears off the bandage — and we’re all left to feel the sting.

In a few days, he’ll be rounding off his second year in office. And if history is anything to go by, the next two years may be more about preparing for re-election than delivering on long-term solutions.

We cannot afford to repeat the cycle.

Every administration — PDP or APC — has a role in how we got here. But more importantly, it’s time we start holding them all accountable for where we’re going next.

Fuel subsidy is gone. The question is: what are we gaining in return? And are the right systems being put in place so that Nigerians no longer carry the burden of government inefficiencies?

Let’s discuss.
How has the removal of subsidy impacted you — negatively or positively?

Real stories. Real reflections. No play

There’s serious money in the phone business — but you have to really understand what people in your area are looking for. That’s how I ended up buying 2 Samsung phones to resell. Omoh, those phones stayed in my hands for over 2 months.

Marketing wasn’t even the issue — I’m good at that; I sell electronics for a living. The real problem is that most Nigerians don’t have the money to buy flagship devices anymore. People are just trying to sort out basic needs first.

Yet, funny enough, there are still individuals with enough money to spare… but they don’t even know what quality looks like.

It's impossible now because NYSC naw uses biometric system to mark attendance

deji17:
Lack of retrospect makes people say these things. The society gave him many things for him to now deny them. He must have met people that helped him along the way. The govt and people are a true reflection of each other. That good part of the road that he plies was built by Govt. The Lecturers, teachers, Doctors etc who received subsidized education and are giving him relatively affordable services have contributed to whatever you call success that he has today. Think deeply. The answer is there.

There’s nothing like subsidized education in private institutions — I guess you're just overly obsessed with this whole "Nigeria" matter.

Lecturers in private institutions are paid based on the services they render. No government subsidy involved.

As for the roads to the school? The business pays taxes to the local government and FIRS. That’s how infrastructure should be handled.

Is there even anything to be proud of in serving Nigeria at this point? A government that can’t guarantee basic security for its citizens — the most fundamental responsibility — has already failed.

You pay JAMB for regularization, just like you pay them to keep your academic records.
You pay NIN to get access to their service.
You pay for everything.

A government that removed fuel subsidy can’t even provide clean water.
And you say NYSC is “service”? Service to who?

There’s nothing worth celebrating in NYSC — because at the end of it all, you’re on your own.

And anyone who dares to mention “₦77K allawee” should watch out — tunder go fire them.

The question is: What does he need an NYSC certificate for?

Kingdavid579

He needs it because he aspires to political appointments and further studies like an MBA.

Not having an NYSC certificate can also affect one’s credibility in both business and political circles.

Beyond that, there’s a strong sense of personal fulfillment that comes with having it.

deji17:
You can site health or other compelling reasons such as your thriving business as a reason to redeploy to your preferred location. NYSC is a once in a life time opportunity, don't deprive yourself of that wonderful opportunity. Leaving out the orientation camp and your leave before POP, it's just about 10 months of service.. The least you can do is to give back while still getting paid.
You can do it safely and wisely too.

There’s honestly nothing to “give back” to Nigeria in terms of service—if we’re talking about being giveable.

This young man built himself from scratch. Started his business as an orphan, with zero parental or government support—no grants, no loans.

He even funded himself through a private tertiary institution.

So tell me, give back to who, exactly? When nothing and no one or government ever gave to him in the first place.

Billionaire does

Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well.

I have a serious question regarding the NYSC for a 27-year-old Nigerian graduate who’s also a self-employed businessman. This young man actually financed his entire education through his business, which means his livelihood and future depend heavily on its continued growth and stability. Now, the prospect of leaving this business to serve in the NYSC feels like a huge disruption—not only personally but also financially.

With the current state of Nigeria’s economy, where entrepreneurship and small business growth are highly encouraged as vital drivers for development, stepping away from his business at this crucial time could be disastrous for him. It might slow down or even halt the progress he’s made so far.

So here’s the main question: is there a legal and official way for him to obtain an NYSC exemption letter without having to change or modify his age on his NIN? He wants to be fully compliant with the law and avoid any complications, but also wants to protect his business and future.

If anyone has experience with this or knows the official procedure, please share your advice or insights. It would really help clarify the situation.

Thanks a lot in advance!
