His Excellency - Mohammed Buhari

President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Aso Rock Villa

Abuja, Nigeria

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to you with a deep sense of awareness. First, I thank God for the gift of life and for the privileged He has given you to be alive and rule this country that was once great, twice.

Also, I sympathize with you and on behalf of all well-meaning Nigerians, I wish you good health and a sound mind. Why? Because I am human, Nigerian, a daughter and a Christian – our motto is love.

As earlier stated, I am writing this letter with a deep sense of awareness. An awareness of the state of things in Nigeria. An awareness of the state of the economy. An awareness of the state of mind of most Nigerians. As an entrepreneur, I can boldly say that the Nigerian economy is in a horrible state right now and needs an immediate and practical solution. This solution must be well thought out and implemented in phases. I’ll tell you this for free: I’m tired of waiting for “our leaders” to lead; at least the right way. They have led with corruption and separation from reality that it baffles me to think they are indeed Nigerians. So I’m going to ask the following basic questions:

1. Are we (Nigerians) not human beings?

2. Can’t we think with our brains- the right way- and act on the good things?

3. Are we really going to continue like this?

4. Are we going to let the dollar determine the state of our economy?

5. Are we going to keep investing in the health / real estate sector but just not the one in Nigeria?

6. Where is our education system heading?

7. Are we going to keep fighting corruption from the tail as against the head? So that it doesn’t spring up again?

8. Are we going to really deceive ourselves and call ourselves “one nation”?

9. Are we really going to keep being tribalistic? Isn’t it getting old?

10. Are we going to keep surrounding Aso Rock with old men and women who have no clue about what to do to make Nigeria great again? Are we?

11. Last but not the least, when we travel, don’t we envy other countries? Why can’t we implement what we see? Or when Nigerians travel, their brains do not travel with them to? Are we really going to let the other skin colored people win when they say ‘blacks are ignorant, can’t rule, do not have brains, are uncivilized, and are backward’ etc.?

They say ‘you can’t grow above your horizon’ ha! That saying is null and void with Nigerians – But why?

Another serious problem we have is that the private and government sectors are not in sync. Sir, this is very dangerous!

When we see structures built in other developed countries, I wonder if the land and soil in Nigeria is different and can’t hold structures. Even with all the stolen wealth! They steal and send it out to develop other countries! How dumb!

We don’t even have a standardized mall. I mean 'mall'. Not shopping plaza.

We are not on the brink of falling apart my dear President, we are already falling apart. So do not listen to those politicians saying they are working, they are lying to you. No one knows what the average Nigerian is going through. They are simply not aware, and I don’t blame them. I blame the past generation and this generation for selling our future into the hands of visionless individuals.

How do I know they have no vision?

Oh, it’s easy. “The young will see visions, and the old will dream dreams’’ that’s what the word of God says, you and I know that He doesn’t lie. That’s why you have found it so difficult to rule. You and the men and women in power are “OLD”.

So how do we determine the age at which one can say “I’m officially old”?

The popular saying is “a fool at 40 is a fool forever’’. Let’s therefore say that from age 40 you begin to dream dreams.

How many National Assembly members are in their 30’s? Or your cabinet members? Do you think those who are in their 30’s are too young?

Let’s take a cue from the US or any other developed country. You cannot surround yourself with men who are in their 70’s and expect result. How? They are not even in touch with reality. That’s why we have a retirement age!

I’m not writing to talk about the problems, but the solutions.

What do we (NIGERIANS) want?

We want Nigeria to be great again. That’s all!

Can we do it?

Yes we can! Together!

Stop all the tribal nonsense. Let’s put it aside for a second. We need to save this sinking ship. The future of our children lie therein. We cannot afford to lose it!

Let’s just start afresh! No more committee to investigate rubbish. That’s a waste of time. Let’s recruit the youths. We have gone through school, know the grass roots and we have more to lose than you do anyway.

Let’s have electricity! We give out to neighboring countries because we are good like that- lol- but we live comfortably without electricity daily. We – Not you.

Let’s have security!

Let’s do whatever Dubai, UAE did! Turn Nigeria into a tourist land. We do have some interesting places to visit and it’s all natural.

We are all talking about agriculture. Hold on. Charity begins at home! Food items are becoming very unaffordable! We can’t just export like fools and forget that our people need to eat!

Increase in the agricultural sector has somehow caused increase in food prices. Egg is now N70! It can’t be dollar causing this. Or the chicken farm owners performed CS to birth the egg? Makes no sense to you right? I understand, the food budget alone in Aso-rock can feed a family up to the next 10 generations! So N70 seems affordable to you. Well it’s not. It was N30 just a year ago.

Let’s talk about the foreign investors, Sir, they aren’t God. So forget about them. As long as we have security issues, unstable economy etc., they wouldn’t come. Let’s save Nigeria first, don’t worry, they will eventually come. Actually, they will beg us to come. Let us just do our own homework first and save our homeland. We can, if we try, as one.

See, I’m not trying to bully you, I have been taught to respect my elders and dear Sir, I do respect you as my president, a father and a husband. So I’m writing to you, to please do the right thing by Nigeria and Nigerians. I do hope you get to read this soon.

Let us work together.

Let us hold hands.

Let us save Nigeria.

Let us make our country once again - GREAT! It’s all we’ve got!

Sincerely,

Krystall
(J.C.N)
(From a ''would-have-been" disgruntled Nigerian youth, but saved by grace, redeemed by mercy.)

The Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) has just released its 2016 ranking of universities across the world.
Sadly, no university in Nigeria made the list of the world’s top 1,000.
The ranking, released on Monday, placed Harvard University, United States, on top as the best higher institution in the world, followed by Stanford University, also in the U.S.
Another school in the U.S, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the third best in the world.
Two universities in the United Kingdom, University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford, are ranked fourth and fifth respectively.
Five other American universities are also ranked within the top 10 – they are Columbia University, sixth position; University of California, Berkley, seventh; University of Chicago, eighth; Princeton University, ninth; and Yale University, 10th.
The U.S has a total number of 224 universities among the top 1,000, followed by China, with 90.
Japan has 74, while the United Kingdom has 65.

Others are: Germany, 56; France, 48; Italy, 48; Spain, 41; South Korea, 36; Canada, 32; Australia, 27.
In Africa, only universities in South Africa and Egypt made the list. South Africa has five, while Egypt has four.
For South Africa, the five universities and their rankings, according to the CWUR, are: University of Witwatersrand, 176th; University of Cape Town, 265th; Stellenbosch University, 329th; University of KwaZulu-Natal, 468th; and the University of Pretoria, 697th.
The four from Egypt are Cairo University, 771st; Ain Shams University, 960th; Mansoura University, 985th; and Alexandria University, 995th.
No Nigerian university also made the list in 2015.
CWUR said it used eight objectives and robust indicators to rank the world’s top 1,000 universities, and listed them as follows:
1) Quality of Education, measured by the number of a university’s alumni who have won major international awards, prizes, and medals relative to the university’s size [25%]
2) Alumni Employment, measured by the number of a university’s alumni who have held CEO positions at the world’s top companies relative to the university’s size [25%]
3) Quality of Faculty, measured by the number of academics who have won major international awards, prizes, and medals [25%]
4) Publications, measured by the number of research papers appearing in reputable journals [5%]
5) Influence, measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly-influential journals [5%]
6) Citations, measured by the number of highly-cited research papers [5%]
7) Broad Impact, measured by the university’s h-index [5%]
Patents, measured by the number of international patent filings [5%]

cc seun lalasticlala this is terrible

pls any invites yet

happy for messi, but cnt trust Argentina again. Will jux keep watching sipping my Kunu without much ado.

Whats the hype about Lahm been a good defender. Lahm has good pass range and vision and thats why he can play in midfield. His defensive lapses led to Torres winning goal in Euro 2008 go and watch the video. Alves became lax in defence when he came to barca due to the system. The Alves in sevilla was a beast. He single handedly rubbished Ronaldinho at his peak at the Uefa Super Cup match when we lost 3 0. I think Alves is under-rated. Given Messi the most assist in his career, despite the likes of Xavi and Iniesta being his team mates alone is laudable.

haha dmcdad una dey look for trouble. God make real no win o...

Dear Nairalanders
Who would you save out of the three. You are allowed to rescue one only.
Lets see who wins..

LMAO. The liga President wants Real Madrid to win. Yet we are Uefalona.

Typical of EPL teams. They are blaming Moreno for the defeat. There is always an excuse when an EPL team loses but none when you lose to them. Summary: Football is not by running around like headless chicken,it can easily be won using the brain.Technicality..

Sevilla and Europa League
