Fat everywhere

Face is just average

Unseen Stretch Marks

Huge Legs

She will probably double her weight when she gets pregnant and i highly doubt she would be able to wear waist trainers during pregnancy

Loosing the post pregnancy weight would be another wahala.All this fat in old age would be a site to behold.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is Your Favorite Bible Verse And Why? by Lyoncrescent: 7:46am On Sep 27, 2015
John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he have his only son that who so ever believeth in him shall never perish but have everlasting life.

It reminds me of the only thing God can give that the devil cannot give . Devil can give riches , money , children , big church and all. But devil cannot give everlasting life cos even devil will perish at the end.


The verse also makes me know that at the end it's heaven that matters . Whether you attend winners , rccg, celestial church of Christ or daystar, at the end each person would be audited individually to access this everlasting life regardless of religious affiliation here on earth

I don't know which god they are praying to for such blessing of inflated contracts, tax dodging, corrupt practices etc that DEPRIVES their fellow citizens of basic modern amenities like

- tap water
- school for all kids
- health clinics
- good roads



that will lead to EMPLOYMENT opportunities for our youths.

Jide omokere is another thief and opportunist who has stolen from this country alongside kola aluko.


https://www.nairaland.com/2284441/pwc-audit-kola-aluko-jide


Kola aluko is just an opportunist and one of many who benefited immensely from the corruption in the oil sector . Nigerians celebrate rich crooks who can't give us a clear indication how they originally got their wealth before they then set up phony companies with illegally acquired wealth to try to legitimize their wealth. That's why thieves in Nigeria will still be celebrated and average Nigerians would be praying to God to bless them like he blessed kola aluko.

The secondary problem would then be loosing all the fat after having her children.

PoliticsRe: Ambode Trends On Twitter As Lagosians Criticize His Governance by Lyoncrescent: 10:48am On Sep 21, 2015
When Fashola was in power, there was often LASTMA in conjuction with members of the NURTW that prevented danfo buses from staying on the express at Mile 12. They were often forced to the service lane back then. Fast forward to ambodes era, no lastma can be found there and even if they are there, they are not as active. The implication of this is that a journey from Ikorodu to Mile 12 now takes 2 hours at times even on a sunday night as i experienced yesterday.The journey when the road is free is about 10 -15 minutes.

I am not so sure about this ambode. Fashola did a lot for ikorodu in terms of roads such as the new Ikorodu to Ketu road(Even though the road is confusing and benefits BRT ), Ibeshe road, Obafemi Awolowo Road and Igbogbo road. I doubt if Ambode can beat his achievements.

You've said it all.. but what about countries that offer tuition free education e.g gemany,norway,finland,sweden
Like that you said tuition free education. How many of us can send our children to public primary and secondary schools ? Thats the koko.

Whats the population of those countries to nigeria and whats the level of development/infrastructure ?

Dont know the policy frameworks of those countries but what i know for sure is that until Government has invested in public primary and secondary schools such that we can save and stop spending at least 50k per term for a child to learn ABC in a private primary school, Government subsidzing public uni fees is a waste.Research funding is the way forward. GEJ opened 7 new universities. Number of public primary and secondary schools are the same since military rule. It should be illegal and a Sin for any child not to have quality and free primary and secondary education;It should be free for every child. University on the other hand isnt for everybody.

my friend keep your mouth shut...

the Unilag, OAU and co. you are trying to mock probably cos you were denied admission bfor ending up in private uni where they pay alot to buy certificates they dnt merit has been in existence bfor your glorified secondary skols and will continue to be and maintain its standard..

I am proud to have attended Unilag, the uni. of first choice and nation's pride as I wasn't ordered around.. I lived and survived as an adult capable of facing real-life challenges..
my parents are not politicians that send their kids abroad for the best education neglecting their own lands..

what Pride do you have really?
I can see what they taught you at unilag so i would try to clarify my line of thought.

Unilag and the rest of the public universities have an opportunity to be great but the structure of such institutions are stiffling them.

Education is now Global. Unilag is not just competing with the likes of babcock and covenant but also with the likes of Oxford,Harvard and MIT.

If you may, can you mention one course/field in Unilag that is at least reckoned in Africa as the best not to talk of globally.Lagos Business Schools MBA is one of the best in West Africa at least.http://www.eduniversal-ranking.com/business-school-university-ranking-in-nigeria.html

All those things you learnt from those textbooks in unilag was as a result of research done mostly by reserachers not domiciled in unilag

Irony is our lecturers in unilag will kick ass even in harvard in a better enabling environment so its not a capability problem.

We need serious funding to ensure the enabling environment and research. Governments main priority should be funding primary and secondary education while giving unis research funding. the Existing school fees in unilag is heavily subsidized by government to what ends ?. Let schools drive their funding. Former NUC Boss once said without Government subsidy, Average student in University of LAgos would pay over 200k as school fees. That was many years ago.

Unilag may be the uni. of first choice and nation's pride but it is the first of mediocrity not excellence. You can be first in a class and still score 39 Percent. Thats the case of unilag and the rest. If Unilag isnt top 500 in the world and Nigeria is the most populous black nation in the world, what does that tell you ? Celebrating Mediocrity and Not accepting fact is the bane of Nigeria. p.s. All private unis are not exempted. Used unilag as example for clarity of understanding.
EducationRe: No Nigerian University Made "World's Best 700". by Lyoncrescent: 4:41pm On Sep 17, 2015
Where are all the great akokites, great oau and the rest of the not so great greats. The day government stops giving students of public universities scholarship to subsidize the miserly school fees been paid , is the day universities will rise. Government should fund research and each university should be a center of excellence in at least one field while being self sufficient in raising revenue. The only university in Nigeria that is getting it right is pan Atlantic university. They are trying hard to become a management center of excellence with their Lagos business school. They have strong affiliations with reputable schools and they also teach using the case study method used by Harvard. Covenant is also doing a lot of work in this regard. Endowment funds from alumni and Executive education courses such as advanced management programs can raise serious money for public unis which they can use to fund research, seek international affiliation and improve teaching methods. It is plain irrational that an average primary school fees in Lagos is more expensive than the chicken change public uni students have to pay. Education may be cheap but quality education is expensive cos of continuous research and publications required . Unis have to be self sufficient enventually. Harvard and MIT are private unis

Christianity EtcRe: Joseph Ayodele Babalola Ministering At An Open Air Crusade In 1939 by Lyoncrescent: 8:08pm On Sep 10, 2015
seyi360:
His only mistake was his choice of wife. History has it that the woman he truly loved was a single mother, been a respected christian leader, the elders of CAC considered it an embarasement for their leader to marry a single mother. Hence, they misled him to marry the spinster who later became the thorn in his flesh. There was a time she poured palm oil on the white garment of the man of God on his way to a crusade ground. Another time after returning from the mountain after long days of prayers and fasting, the wife served him a delicious meal to break his fast. He had only taken about 2 or 3 morsels when the wife told him" i thought you were a true prophet,because you should have known by revelation that the chicken in the food was stolen" The great man of God gently left the remaining food and returned to the mountain to ask God for forgiveness. As anointed as he was, he had no mentor, real reason for his wrong choice of wife which sadly and eventually, directly or indirectly led to his untimely death. Contrary to a poster's comment, he wasn't the founder of CAC, rather he was the first general Evangelist. Late King I. B Akinyele was the first president of CAC.
Application: If you want to fulfill purpose and live long, you must by all means, at all cost "marry your wife". Not the one a prophet,pastor,priest or parents recommend, but the one God recommends. People can only guide, the ultimate choice must be born out of your personal conviction.
As far as the issue of the wife is concerned, CAC people have argued she was just not happy as she didnt have personal time to spend with her husband. Ayo Babalola was always praying and fasting sometimes on mountains, attending crusades and even when at home counselling and praying for people. Even read it in a book that she had to constantly cook for people who visited and never had personal time with her husband. This naturally led to grumbling and people having the perception that she was a witch.

On the other hand Envangelist Funmilayo Adebayo who was once in the Kingdom of Darkness once spoke in a crusade how it was the wife of ayo babalola they tried to use to weaken his ministry and about how ayo babalolas wife was a thorn in the mans flesh. She even spoke about how they used sexual immorality to bring down emannuel omotunde omoniyi who wasnt as popular as ayo babalola but whose anointing she said was 7 times that of ayo babalola and who some said ayo babalola called oga. I had never heard of any emmanuel omotunde prior to her crusade. There is little about emmanuel omoniyi online though.https://apostleomotunde./2011/08/25/the-life-and-works-of-apostle-emmanuel-omotunde/

Only God knows the truth but all in all, the choice of a right life partner is critical in the journey of life.
EducationRe: Religious Propagation On Nigerian Campuses: Infringement Of Rights by Lyoncrescent: 10:43am On Sep 07, 2015
I attended babcock uni(Even though i suspect you are referring to covenant uni in your write up) where the church services are held on saturday. I attend church on sundays prior to babcock,but i was fully aware of the practice in the institution since its owned by the seventh day adventist. You must attend services three times a week including the Saturday church service regardless of your religious standing. You can then choose to go for your own church service on sunday or jumat on friday outside the university premises.

Thats the rule. To make a compelling argument that such rules shouldn't be in place is difficult and not to abide to such rules is also impossible because you are fully aware before admission.

EducationRe: Babcock University Students Protest Increase Of Fees Via Social Media by Lyoncrescent:
If not for the simple fact that the Federal Government of Nigeria heavily subisdizes federal universities such as unilag, the school fees of such schools would also be as high as that as private universities. it is absurd for people to expect that private unis that dont recieve any form of subsidy and have to continually expand their facilities and buildings to be the same price as federal universities.Or may be students in public universities think its their school fees that is used to run their universities ? Think again.

The truth is if theres money for government to do all this then fine but no money. Primary and Secondary schools are suffering badly because Nigerian government is spending so much on public unis. Even Goodluck opened 7 more public unis. When last did any government open a federal secondary school or state primary school ? Do you know the state of Public secondary schools and state owned primary schools ? So you can send your child to a public university but not public primary school ? you see the irony. All the money spent on subsidizing university should have been spent making public primary and secondary schools world class so that the foundation can be good.At the very minimum free feeding and multi media teaching is a must. if there is money left from that then government can then spend that on subsidizing public unis. Do you know that the cost of a good private primary school in lagos is more than the cost of public universities ? Not everyone will go to uni but everyone must attend primary and secondary school.

The accident investigation bureau will investigate the cause of the accident to check for negligence . Most accidents are often caused by either weather or human error. The AIB will also investigate the Nigerian Civil Aviation authority to see if it was culpable in its duties by checking if the Helicopter was airworthy amongst other things .

The point of all this is not to bring back the dead but to prevent a future occurrence and sanction those who may be found culpable at the end of the investigation
EducationRe: Four Students Break First Class Jinx In UNILORIN Economics Department by Lyoncrescent: 10:18am On Aug 12, 2015
This is a big indictment on the University and its lecturers that no student has had first class in this field after all these years.

Education is not meant to be difficult but meant to be relevant. If you take some of the students from the past who didnt make first class and put them in Harvard, Oxford or London Business School, you will be shocked that they will make first class effortlessly. Does that then mean Unilorin is better than harvard ? we celebrate/rank a school by how difficult it is to make first class or pass rather than the ease at which knowledge is passed and the relevance/application of the knowledge.

Congrats to the four students who made the first class.
CelebritiesRe: Omotola Wants Buhari To Scrap NYSC. See Her Reasons by Lyoncrescent: 3:28pm On Aug 10, 2015
The NYSC was created by decree No.24 of 22nd May 1973 which stated that the NYSC is being established "with a view to the proper encouragement and development of common ties among the youths of Nigeria and the promotion of national unity".

The most tribalistic people i know are graduates who have passed through this NYSC scheme. I am in doubt whether the NYSC has had anything to do with promotion of national unity.

NYSC is a waste of time. Say you gradaute June this year and go for NYSC in November this year to be done October 2016, you have wasted well over one year in the name of NYSC. You rarely can get a good ful time job straight out of university because of this NYSC palava. worst of all is most of the corp members are posted to teach in schools(Secondary and Primary). This is wrong. Teaching requires persistence,passion and patience not just knowledge. the fact a so called graduate knows 1 plus 1 is 2 doesnt mean he can teach/impart that knowledge on others in an efficient manner. Not everyone who can drive a car can teach another person to drive a car; it goes beyond just knowledge. All in all, if NYSC cant be scrapped, it should be optional. it is a total waste of funds as it doesnt promote the national unity it was created for
