Can you imagine a country where the school curriculum is regulated by a national central body and states have no powers to vary or amend their curriculum?
So, if the rest of the developed world is light years ahead in what they teach their children from primary schools, and our Minister of Education has absolutely no clue, the States must be burdened with antiquated school curriculum until such a time (if we are lucky, before rapture perhaps!!) that we have an Education Minister who would realise how far behind we are and bring the curriculum up to date.
Just take a look at the science curriculum for grade students in advanced countries and you would cry for Nigeria.
I recently read of a high school in Japan which has amended its curriculum to include robotics and drones technology.
IN HIGH SCHOOL!!
But our Professors here don't have a hang on Robotics even!
Students are still taught the very prehistoric rudiments of physics and chemistry in our schools.
And this is even in the few schools that teachers and students still meet in the classrooms!
For the few public schools that are lucky to have labs, all you see are miserable nameless creatures trapped in formalin, to which nobody ever pays attention.
These creatures suffer a double jeopardy having suffered the first misfortune of being caught and preserved in formalin in Nigeria, and then thereafter completely ignored, even in death!
And because the control of our curriculum is central, there is nothing States can do about this.

You would think this is not a problem until you understand that Nigerians spend over ONE TRILLION NAIRA every year to study abroad.
You see, the reason why you have Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Oxford, etc is not only for academic excellence of the citizens of the countries which have these schools. No.
They invest in their institutions so that they can earn revenue from foreign students from countries like Nigeria which has destroyed its educational system.
Abroad, schools are so important to society that the economy, business and lifestyle of whole cities and even States completely depend on or revolve around schools. What would the city of cambridge be without Cambridge University.
Or Cambridge, Massachusett without Harvard University. These cities depend on these universities to survive.
And imagine that Nigeria had invested in its universities and was earning $1billion dollars a year from foreign students seeking to study here, who would be fighting over oil in the Niger Delta?
How many car manufacturing companies would we have in Owerri near FUTO where students are constantly doing and selling their research products to burgeoning engineering and manufacturing companies?
Recently, three students in Sweden conducted research and came up with a product that could improve wear and tear on tyres.
The product became so successful that Volvo had to partner with these students to patent the product.
Now when this product hit world stage, can you imagine how much revenue sweden would earn from these product?
Do your research, most of the world-class products we buy today off the shelf, at great cost, were invented by university students.
As you are reading this, do not forget that without Harvard University, there would not have been facebook, and this our interface would have been impossible.

But our students In Nigeria are not entirely without inventions. We invented the Pyrates Confraternity, the , the Eiye, the Vikings and what not!!
Students resume school with guns and bullets, rather than books and scholastic ideas, as though academic institutions were a war college. Lecturers fly colors as do students.
And when the turf war begins, people die in droves. But States can do nothing about this because some of these institutions are controlled by the Federal Government. Even for the ones controlled by States, you still can't do much because the security apparatus is controlled by the Federal Government.
The Federal Government will provide or withdraw security from the State, depending on whether it is happy with the sitting Governor. So every year, all sorts of characters are vomited from Nigerian Universities to take their place in Nigerian society. So you have Judges, Lawyers, Engineers, Doctors and so forth whose first and primary allegiance is to their cult group, before the Country.
The multiplier effect of this, is a treatise for another day.
And this has been going on for decades in this country.
One day, I pray we get it right!

I stated here before that heads will roll at CNN.

That was a horrible report.
Nigeria will sue them if they don't apologise and do more than this infantile recant.

Perhaps they still think it is joke.

How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too?

All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.
#Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos



I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN.
Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.


They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.


This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.

Yet they are grandstanding.

CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.

Different ladies with different thinking, not all ladies. The guy must not eat more than he can chew. He should not start what he can't continue in future. Wedding is just a day, marriage is forever, let her spend the expenses, the guy should not be mumu

Nobody is interested in costly wedding, they are waiting for how long you will both last .

There are many things to invest in after the wedding. Thank God I hate anything crowd, my wedding guests must not be more than 10

Kindly show me love by liking my DP, thanks fam, love you all

You have a servitude mentality.

It is a pity if you think jack dorsey will save you

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Since the IPOB leader instructed and commanded his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and the likely did so, I knew the judiciary will be partly blamed unless they quickly adjudicate on this matter.

So far, he is the prime suspect in the burning down of Lagos.

Lagos State Government must petition ICC, Interpol and other international agencies and submit his audio transcript for investigation.

The IPOB leader has a case to answer.

marsman:
This Dj switch is nothing but Pro Biafra and Anti Yoruba or The North.
I have been going through her tweet and i find nothing, sensible or worth admiring about the fool.
She said she wants a better Nigeria, but in one of her tweet, she said "the name Nigeria was given by someone's girl friend" what does that have to do with the end sars struggle, and that particular statement is mostly used by our Ipob people.

The Fool is probably one of kanu's mumu followers, who is trying to use the endsars struggle as an advantage to spread there gospel. This idiot still had the guts to add Pa Awolowo to One of her stupid list of bad leaders, but on that same list, No easterners were Involved. If you are Yoruba and you find what this Idiot is saying reasonable, you need a rethink.

He added , “ Those so approved then collect the money and disburse to the beneficiaries who sign receipts all of which are retired and available for verification as approved by the accountant- general.” there's nothing to see here. Fashola is one of the good guys

ChildOfDoom:
oh I doubt

Yenefer:
For sure. It will drain your mind and body to save ungreatful people, who doesn't appreciate the good work Buhari and his administration doing to this country. Beautiful modest and intelligent woman.
God bless Sadiya umar faruk
God bless Buhari
God bless Nigeria.

If you can't appreciate the good work, and thankful for the little we have leave the country. Sahara desert is waiting, mediterranean sea is waiting. Stop Comparing Nigeria with The super rich countries that stole there wealth. Live accordingly

MISSCONGENIALITY:
If a woman decides she doesn't want to marry, and you still remind her about menopause, is it that when she marries she wont experience menopause again or she will die before menopause.
Do you think everyone who is married with kids have birth to the kids themselves? Theres are many ways a woman could have kids without getting pregnant.
So don't use menopause to scare people. Bedsides, no be to born, na to take care of the child. With the way Nigeria is going, I won't be bothered not giving birth cos life is worthless is this country.
Don't forget everything is vanity. Money, kids, life, everything.
I lost my mom 13yrs ago and they didn't bury her with any of my siblings. She was burried alone. Without her property or her mother or father.

TheLionofLasigi:
I never really liked tinubu, but he has done more for the Yoruba's than the criminal obasanjo. What I hold against tinubu was promoting a man like buhari when he clearly knew his antecedent. The north had better candidates but he choose buhari instead.

Anyways as a proud ikorodu indigine, a yoruba son, an attack on tinubu is an attack on the Yoruba interest.

They called Awolowo an tribalist.
They said Abiola was an islamist.
And now tinubu is a thief.

But still Yoruba land prospers while their redearth region remains a stink pile.

SaintLucia:
They will enter night buses from their village to Lagos. They will receive their parents blessing to be successful in Lagos and their parents will tell them not to forget their siblings when things turnaround good for them in Lagos. These are people that couldn't make it in their states before they arrived Lagos. Some of them will later become successful in Lagos only for them to start cursing the man "Jagaban" who built Lagos through his vision instead of their own state governors who sent them out as refugees.

Name one yeyebrity that used to live in Lekki, Ajah, Banana Island before Tinubu became governor and win yourself a gift. Those places were bushes, Jagaban built and developed those areas through his vision.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Really? The fact on ground states otherwise. Particularly because of 2023, his investments were razed to the ground. Even Oriental Hotel was almost burnt on the lie thst it belongs to Asiwaju Tinubu.

Even IPOB leader was clear in stating that Tinubu's property be burnt and it got burnt. Sahara reporters even created a fake manifest on Tinubu's son http://saharareporters.com/2020/10/22/exclusive-seyi-son-ex-lagos-governor-bola-tinubu-jet-out-london-family-angry-nigerians and one Onyedika122 moniker , more likely an IPOB member here on Nairaland posted another lie https://www.nairaland.com/6196221/live-tinubu-been-chased-away

Some even went as far as circulating videos saying he was running out of Nigeria and his son Seyi flee Nigeria. It all later turned out a lie.
So who are those behind all these attacks against him?

ChildOfDoom:
*betting*

Seems all the partial recovery I make from betting addiction is ephemeral. There is always an inner yearning to go back to bet9ja shops. Staying at home or going to work does not give as much joy as staying in betshops.

When at betshops, I am treated to comical and 'lively' interactions by my fellow frustrated bet addicts. We laugh away our pains for that moment. I get to sit comfortably under the fans there, charge my phone (standby generator) and watch the latest movies/musics. I won't lie, currently at a betshop in Warri.

When I manage to win at times (no matter how little), I get big Pepsi and Bread and eat well. The winning feeling is so good. If not that we don't know when to stop betting when on winning streak, it would have been good. The addiction then makes me and other lowlifes to gamble with money that is not ours, in a bid to recover our losses. This has always put me in trouble. I pray I always find a way out of using people's money, to avoid being tortured.

Who else has noticed that when hungry, standing behind those who win soccer virtual at bet9ja shop, can give you something to eat. A day, after losing all I have, I beg between 300 - 500 naira from 'temporary winners' which I use to entertain myself. Hmm. Penny wise, pounce foolish though

DontBullshitMe:
Seyi Makinde's cluelessness of governance is unparalleled in Nigeria.

He came in riding on high expectations. Sadly, returns are extremely poor.
