Nafisa’s victory has sparked celebrations across Nigeria

when were there celebrations across Nigeria?

meanwhile, I hope tinubu and shettima are getting her $100,000 and 3 bedroom flat ready?

Softmirror:
Haba Racoon you are not less than 50 years old and you are talking like this. Haba wisdom is suppose to come with age. While I know that the necessary things to do to checkmate this will be done by this administration, your attributing this rots and deteriotion to Tinubu who is barely two years in office is just childish.

what has prevented this administration from doing what is necessary since 2023 till date?

if this administration can be dashing female national players hundreds of thousands of dollars in the space of one month, why has it taken it two years to do the needful for its workers and to provide a conducive work environment for them?

The Nigeria Police Force is set to take a bold and historic step in the direction of motivation, meritocracy, and morale-boosting as the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, prepares to decorate select officers recently approved for promotion by the Police Service Commission (PSC) – officers whose conduct, courage, and character have stood out in service to the nation.

is it like this is the first time in the history of the Nigerian Police that police officers will be promoted and then decorated by a serving IGP?

even if it is, how should this be an achievement?

Empress David (22), Sonia Isaac (24), Loveth Michael (18), Success Moses (21), and Victor Alice (23).

how are these nigerians?

am sure these are the only prostitutes in Ghana.

Bluntemperor:
Don't mind some of these hatred and bitterness people on Social Media.
-Thousands,if not Millions of Nigerians HAVE -BENEFITED FROM THE STUDENTS LOANS SCHEME OF THE FEDERAL GOVT-AND AS AT TODAY,IS A GAME CHANGER TO STUDENTS IN NIGERIA.
I THINK THOSE COMMENTING ARE JUST NOT ECONOMIC WITH THE TRUTH - ON The STUDENTS LOANS, AND THEY CAN GO TO MANY OF THESE INSTITUTIONS TO VERIFY, INSTEAD OF BEING Parochial!
Radarada People Everywhere!

what game did students loans change in nigeria?

since you have gone to many of these institutions and verified, can you give the exact number of students that have benefitted from the loans in millions?

if you say they are "millions:, how were students going to school before the loans?

how will the government get back its money?

AngelSlay:
Imagine being a family man—earning 200k a month, trying to stretch that across life’s expenses, schooling, food, medical bills, and—against all odds—trying to qualify for a mortgage to buy a modest home in a “decent environment.” It’s noble, but these are the realities:

You're asked to save millions upfront while still feeding a family.

You’re then expected to shell out hundreds of thousands more every month, potentially more than half your income.

Life happens—it only takes one medical emergency, one spike in food prices, or one breakdown at home to derail everything.

Mortgages can be helpful—but only if:

Interest rates are genuinely affordable,

Terms are flexible,

Families are formally employed and can show stable income streams,

Housing supply grows dramatically,

Social support (like rent-to-own or shared equity models) is robust.

Yes, mortgage-backed homes can be life-changing—but without real structural improvements (land rights, wage growth, access to credit, and massive scale building), it’s still out of reach for most.

That’s why many propose rent-to-own models, incremental housing, or community co-ops—solutions that meet families where they are financially, and guide them gradually into ownership.

If Nigeria truly wants housing to be accessible, it must deliver mass scale, and importantly, match finance solutions to real-world incomes—not hypothetical ones.

If I were speaking to a family earning ₦200k a month, I’d say: “I see your ambition. I see your drive for stability and dignity for your family. The current system makes it harder than it should be—but you’re not alone, and thankfully, thinkers and activists are forging ways forward that center families like yours. You shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and feeding your children. And hopefully—sooner rather than later—our policies will reflect that urgency.”

TL;DR: The numbers you ran are accurate and deeply sobering. And yes, the system, as it stands today, stacks the odds against hardworking earners. But there are glimmers of progress. In the meantime, real solutions require empathy—built into both design and financing.

what are the "glimmers of progress" that you are referring to?

what are the "real solutions"?

is it because N200k a month is too small or because inflation is too high?

Chubhie:
Used to be but no longer one. Could change my mind if Obi wins. I used to love Nigeria but love another now that loves me back.

Chubhie:
Nigerians never see anything. Fix your shithole country! It's a death match now. You either fight and take back your country or die on your knees begging for food. You will as always be presented with choices by the universe.

which of all that you said have you done?

or are you not a nigerian?

malali:
He is only doing what he promised.
They are aware that people are deserting their mismanaged countries to come to the US.

he also promised to bring down inflation from "day one".

why has he not done that?

Max24:
Is like this your defending Obi on Nairaland nah job? Hope say Obi dey pay you well sha? Because it will be painfull when Obi losses again. That's labouring in vain. I pity you because in 2027 Obi will not get 6m votes as he has no plan for Nigeria. Nobody wants to hear all his China scam again.

You ended up not answering the questions asked.

instead of focusing on Obi who is not occupying any public office, why not focus on tinubu who occupies the highest office in the land?

tinubu swore an oath on the 29th of May 2023.

Oath of Office of President

I, .............. do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God.

should you and Onanuga not be demanding accountability from tinubu and asking if he has kept to the oath he swore to the Nigerian people?

is that not how you can "kiss the truth"?

helinues:
Must everything be about loan. If you guys are truly care about us, gift us the money

Yes, everything must be about loans.

helinues:
If we can be budgeting almost a trillion for renovation of only Lagos airport, our girls deserve the $100k gifts

Congratulations to them for always making us proud

If the only thing tinubu knows how to do with public funds is to fritter it away on trivialities and to share money, why then should everything not be about loan?

mrhowoto:
The loans you have advanced in the past how was it utilized? It’s apparent that the world bank is an enabler of corruption in Nigeria.

The have been used for super falcons and D'tigress

Angelfrost:
Lol... Nigerian medical doctors have to be the most territorial among medical professionals on Earth.

Don't just bother your head arguing with that fellow.

One even expressed serious annoyance towards Ph.D holders and professors who are also addressed by the term "Dr".


Doctors abroad are less concerned about such trivial things... Those ones are okay to even be addressed solely as "Physicians".

I tell you bro

seyichicago:
This is what I believe will comes to any military man mind if any of he or she relative is among of the victims assaulted.
The slum ghetto mention can easily be wipe out so decrease the hidden out of the thugs, for more safety purpose of the student

that is not what i asked.

why should any military general be held responsible for the insecurity?

let me understand you....

"tinubu is trying to win a second term".

and

"If he opens all the barracks and bomb the hell out of them, they'll say he is killing Northerners."

what is the relationship?

Burob:
Then Gringory Obi should shut up, if he doesn’t want the light focused on him.

Abi did u hear me call Ikpeazu, or Willie Obiano’s name?

You didn't answer the questions.

TimeManager:
True talk, a man that couldn't honour his promise to APGA and Ojukwu, he lacks the integrity to keep a vow. He overrated his relevance in comparing himself to some world leaders whose shoe laces he dare not tie. If after eight years, it was insults and cusses that greeted you climbing down the Governorship seat of a small monolithic state, how much more, a complex and diversed nation like Nigeria. Are you going to command the Governors and pull them like your appointees to dance to your dictates?. Do you think diverse ethnic demands and considerations can all be satisfied in a short time?. Even as small as LP, you have failed to provide leadership. According to Gov Soludo, any politician who promised a one term tenure needs a psychiatric evaluation. Nigerians are wiser than deceitful promises from desperate politicians.

LordIsaac:
They've been pampering criminals in this country. No terrorist can pillage any area in saner climes for this long...they will exterminate them. If we talk now, they will say Ribadu is trying.

How can a group of people hold a country to ransome? No military general should be allowed to remain in office if any part of his domain is under siege for this long!

Anyway, the President is trying to win a second term. If he opens all the barracks and bomb the hell out of them, they'll say he is killing Northerners.

It is well with this country.

Playconsoler101:
Him mentioning "butty" (aje butter) way" would imply he was referring to other groups outside "aje butter"...

And yet the same you claimed that

Playconsoler101:
This Dude is mighty disconnected from the middle and lower class and think only elite have children.

Playconsoler101:
That's literally contradicting isn't it? If he was referring to "butty" how else would he expect "butty" to raise their "butty" children?

Him mentioning "butty" (aje butter) way" would imply he was referring to other groups outside "aje butter"... Then he went to start mentioning maids and all... There is absolutely nothing wisdom about the disconnected write-up

That is not what I asked you.

how does that negate the beauty of the article and the wisdom he is trying to share?

raddyworld:
They will be settled their money no plenty.
See for the sport reward. We need am at times to motivate our sport team. Winning African cup or world cup brings prestige and value to the image of the country.
As we dey use corruption spoil am make we dey use good name from sport cover up.
The money may not be that much at least motivation. As Brazil, Spain, England is known for quality sport Nigerians can lead. Not just a name as giant of Africa.

after winning titles, how has the image of the nigeria been improved while many are still being owed their entitlements?

if sport teams need motivation, do the citizens and those who serve the country in other capacities not need motivation?

were the members of these sport teams not paid their match bonuses per match?

the brazil, spain and england that you mentioned have won several international titles.

have you seen their governments doling millions of dollars to their national teams because they won titles?

SmartPolician:
You are uninformed. The chicken change given to those ladies isn't the reason those people are owed.

Tell your politicians to stop stealing Nigeria's money. The day we have an accountable president, you will realise how rich this country is.

so does it make sense to be rewarding footballers and basketballers with a $100,000 each after they had been paid match bonuses when virtually every sector of government service are in the need of funds and pensions are still being owed?

dmangodwin:
In the context of healthcare, the terms "medical doctor" and "doctor" are often used interchangeably, but "doctor" can also refer to other professions with doctoral degrees, like a PhD. A medical doctor (MD or DO) specializes in diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries, while a PhD doctor typically has a research-based doctoral degree.

Hope this helps

I did not ask you to differentiate anything.

I simply asked you...who then is a medical doctor?

In fact U are saying trash

Visits any government universities and hear testimonies.

Students loan is blessing to all Nigerian students

Since you are not saying trash but u know what you are saying and have visited government universities and heard testimonies, then answer his question...

How many students have benefitted from student loans compared to the total number of applicants?

TimeManager:
Renewed Hope till 2031. God bless President Tinubu, God bless Nigeria.


-Kiss the truth!

Are you kissing the truth?

Are you aware that deposits are one of the biggest assets for a bank?

Are you aware that it is these deposits that are used as loans?

Are you aware that if loans are not repaid is often leads to banks collapsing?

Where is the money for this housing loan coming from?

What are the mechanisms in place to make sure that those who collect these loans pay back as and when due?

if the loans are not recovered, what happens to the bank?

How you wake up every day reprogramming your mind to hate anything good is amazing.
Looks slot like witchcraft

Were people not graduating before NELFUND?

What is the number of people graduating?

What percentage of that number are raduating as a result of NELFUND?
