Should education and healthcare be less important than security?

Year after year, Nigeria allocates more money to security but insecurity increases. Development managers will agree that this skewed allocation will not help Nigerian education reach full potential.

Please read [although it's quite lengthy] the Public Education Financing: Issues and Recommendations PDF on BudgIT:

Supported. Autolize us Autojosh.

So this is where the monies recovered via whistle-blowing ended up?

Dividends of Corruption.

Consolidated brethren, we rock, literally.

Women are artesian in nature, they find fault with almost everything.

It is possible for cracks to develop months after the road was commissioned. Doesn't look like a tremor caused it. Northern Nigeria is tectonically stable. This is evidence of use of substandard materials in road construction.

Has anybody seen the front page of PUNCH newspaper today?

Grow up and behave well, that was an expensive statement /joke.
Do you wish yourself such?

Do I know you?
Did you see the post I quoted from?
Did you make any reasonable deductions from it before you concluded that I needed to "grow up"?
Or are you just itching to defend a fellow estrogen?

Answer ALL questions truthfully!

JuanDeDios:
Yeah. Reminds me of their ancestors collecting mirror from the white man, admiring their reflection in it and saying "Bring more slaves for the Kapitain!"

The most demeaning word ever - slave. Chai!

LaCruzz:
What about semicolon cancer? Different names for cancer,i don't know what this world is turning into oo

You are exhibiting signs of clown cancer.

IT IS ONLY A RAMBO FROM THE NORTH THAT CAN BE COUGHT... IF NA PH BASE RAMBO, DEM FOR STILL THE LOOK FOR HIM.

What of Don Waney?

Better than a printing machine.

I pray for all NL females [and males as well]. May you never end up like this or become mobile mortuaries.


RIP to the dead.

Esseite:
Please we have too many issues here in this country to join issues with israel and pakistan.

Best simple response I've seen in a topic on NL today.

To a brainwashed jihadist, any living thing is capable of being manipulated for violence - even a cripple.

N150 million on a royal transportation vehicle?

And it is not even bullet-proof..

Well, it's always been like that for African royalties. Making a statement with wealth that is not evident in the lives of their subjects.

Josh44s:
Wahala Car. My elder brother using this exact Range Rover 2012 model cruised it for one year, making me feel so jealous and I almost sold my Baby Corolla S. After one year nigga almost pack go village when this Car wahala start. Ever since then I stop enving people using Range Rover, Mercedes Benz C300, E350 and GLK.

This bit of advice is gold. Like what I tell these youngsters, "Before you wear an expensive shoe, check if it will be comfortable for you."

Boyfriend for hire things..

Wacko young generation.

They will start sharing wives and husbands in their time.

pocohantas:
Subsidising the price is better. You know lots of Nigerians are so criminal minded, if they decide to make it free...they'll still hijack it and sell.

Using tissue paper, sand and all sorts, is not just unhygienic but dangerous to the female body system.

Ministry of Women Affairs may just introduce Sanitary Pad Subsidy bill.

Condoms are freely given and cheap. I also haven't heard of a fake condom. Sanitary pads are expensive and usually have fakes.

BiggerbossAmani:
Why is Nigerians always disgracing Africa like this

This man don't need to show how stupid and unlearned he is.

Probably I dont think he understand the meaning of stupidity.

Stupidity is when you ate last week but you are forcing yourself to go to toilet today

What is this one saying?

ShyCypher:
God!!!

So a heartless Afonja woman boarded a bus all the way from the south waste and dumped her baby in far away Port Harcourt?

Wonders shall never end.

Why do people like you expose themselves to unnecessary insult?

Sooner or later, someone may wish it was you left in that carton instead of that poor baby.

I don't support their actions.. But,

I once spoke to a young poor boy in the village... His mum was dead, his dad was in prison and he lived with his grandmother, he told me how hard life has been to him, I gave him some food, as I couldn't do any much as I was young then....


A lot of youths and young boys in Nigeria, are not willing to go to crime, neither are they willing to be Cultists... They don't have anyone who loves them, nobody cares as Nigerian society is hard, and the government is doing nothing...

Many become cultists in a bid to find love and make cash.. If our society was good enough, crime will be less..

Unfortunately, Nigeria is full of people who have money but can't give.. People who can give but have no money..

Decide to make money while giving...

Have you watched the This Is America music video by Childish Gambino? As developed as America is they still have their problems. While we may not match their standards, our problems have been largely created by those who had the money, influence and power to change things for the better but chose not to because of greed.

True, we need more people who have money and are willing to give but almost everyone is scared of giving to the wrong person who may end up jazzing them, killing them or keep coming back to them over and over again.

I gave my last cash to someone I loved and when the person said thank you, I felt I had just gotten a ticket to heaven.
I also gave my last cash to someone and the person asked, "Do I look like I'm a beggar?". I felt like killing him.

Buhari will be tried for war crimes.

scholes23:
Na lie

I'm just reiterating the mentality of most drivers who give in to the suggestion of quack mechanics.

Make service in the Senate voluntary.
Ensure that it is treated like the NYSC.
Just allowances for simple living.


Then it will no longer be lucrative to those pen looters and university students studying political science.

GURUGRAPHICS:
valid points..

meanwhile guys, are you bored and in need of some entertainment?
then add me on skype at isabel okoh... for a video chat session...

...serious buyers only!!!!

Am I buying or paying for a video session with you?

Oil is oil.. until your engine says otherwise.

Serve your nation with what you have.

The average south-eastern Nigerian parent easily comes to mind.

I can relate to her story and I'm sure this experience of hers still persists in our homes. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. In their moral righteousness, some parents inadvertently push their children to despair. Glad that this lady did not succumb to it.

Yes, she did badly in the beginning but she realized her error and did great.

Heartbreak gbuo gi dia!!!

Xisnin:
No, it doesn't stand. This politician stands alone or you stand with him.
Being a man doesn't make me or any other man responsible for his actions.

No one, not I either, asked you to be responsible for his actions. From the way I see it, they're just two embittered souls. So rest your sour case against me. For the record, before your brain misfires, I do not support rapists. I'll say it again - until he is proved guilty, he is not yet a rapist.

Just because a lady allegedly calls a man a rapist or says that he raped her does not prove him to be one.

Xisnin:
Don't you ever equate rapists with all men.
Rapists must stand alone with their sympathisers.

He has not yet been proved a rapist, unless your "court" has adjudged that. So my last statement, which you mischievously altered, still stands.

Tomorrow one idiotic senator will use what has happened in Russia to canvas for 4th Term for a Nigerian president.

Thumbs up to the Russian engineers who developed a presidential vehicle. Buhari et al will still be ordering for Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and Peugeot as if it is their birthright.

obowunmi:
Suing her doesn't mean he didn't RAPE her.

What is rape to you?

If she has evidence, let her provide it. Since we've been hearing about men, university professors and vagina-deprived pedophiles making the rotten headlines. Let's take a chill with this one.

All men can't be wrong!
