What has this got to do with the survival of the common man? People are busy thinking of how to make an improvement to their well-being and to humanity, some people are arguing over land mass/population.

We Nigerians love wasting our energy on irrelevant things, things that won't add value to our destiny. And if you findout it'll be the poor ones doing all this nonsense, those who borrowed MB to sub. The people they claim to be abusing for being ungrateful or fighting for have significantly made it. The white wedding was even in SA, u dey inside heat for naija wey light no dey dey abuse person wey fit dey abroad dey enjoy him life. They are all crying more than the bereaved, Even Banky W can't be this mad. Na wa o

What happened to marginalization, or is Atiku no longer hausa/fulani?

Atiku doesn't have a political stronghold, he always wants to ride on an already built platform. Being rich alone cannot win presidential elections, most of his supporters are supporting him because of what they are getting from him not because they are die hard supporters. Unlike buharis Northern supporters who don't need him to give them dollars before they vote him. I think CPC strengthened his political might, Atiku should establish his own party and build from the scratch if he wants to be politically relevant. If PDP fields him in 2019, they've lost before going to the polls. The rejection of APC is not a criteria that Nigerians want PDP back. Smart politicians would take this opportunity to make a statement.

Activeman391:
I wonder who is a wanderer between Buhari and Atiku or who was more desperate ..we all know Buhari before he finally won the last presidential election cross carpet 3 different political parties of which Atiku is just 2...if you ask me about desperation for Power Buhari is the true meaning of the word

I don't care about Buhari, but since you have brought him into the topic,I'll tell you why Atiku is a wanderer and Buhari is not. Buhari left ANPP to form his own party CPC thereby strengthening his political stronghold, CPC even won Nasarawa state gubernatorial polls. A merger deal came up and APC was formed. That makes Buhari a schemer and not a wanderer. Atiku has decamped from PDP to ACN to PDP to APC to PDP. So Who's the Wanderer? The one who strengthened his political stronghold who's own party won a governorship election or the one who has never won his Local govt despite all his cross carpeting. Strategic persistence is different from desperation.

Atiku is a wanderer, he doesn't even have a political stronghold.

Lol

Somebody who has never delivered his home state in an election wants to be president. He has never won in his ward after the governorship elections he won in 99. Charity begins at home, the rejection of APC by Nigerians does not mean they'll take back PDP. Other options will still come up. It's a multi party system and not a bi party system. Let the wheel keep moving, we'll get it right when the time comes. The Anambra election is an eye opener

Kindly relate the "simple" logic to cases of those who still has access to the portal..

Let's wait and see

dayjahvoo:


You don't have any simple sense in your head. Of all the analogies you could come up with, you went with this? The guys with their portal opened are the lecturers in this your analogy abi? Arindin

I don't usually reply low life's like you because the hopeless situation of Nigeria has engulfed your soul. This is a platform where ppl express their opinions which they're entitled to and it is not binding on anyone. Learn to keep shut when you don't agree with people's view, it is called maturity.

This issue is just simple logic. Let me sight an example, in higher institutions there is always a registration period which closes after a stipulated time. If registration has closed and you can't access the registration portal, does that mean you've lost your studentship? It simply means the portal has served its purpose and it's no longer needed for that semester.

I think Geology is better.

Apart from working in an oil company (petroleum geologist), you can work in a foundation building company (engineering geologist ), environmental consultant ( environmental geologist ) , water and borehole company ( hydrogeologist), valuable mineral consultant e.g gold, diamiond ( mining geologist) and many more.

You can be self employed as a Mining geologist, engineering geologist, environmental geologist and hydrogeologist.

Petroleum Engineering, u are only restricted to petroleum. When oil vanishes, you are useless.

You are very right but not in a country like Nigeria. My opinion is that most of these branches of Geology you have highlighted have been taken over by quacks or engineers. For example, construction companies don't usually see it as mandatory to employ engineering Geologists because they feel Civil/Geotechnical engineers can do the job. Same goes for the mining industry, hydrology is even worse every Tom, dick and Harry now drills borehole. The fact remains that an Engineer is an Engineer regardless of the area of specialization, so there are more opportunities for an engineer. Until there is a favorable government legislation, Geologists will continue to be shortchanged.

yildaz:
don't be a fool and misguide d boy

It is obvious who the fool is here.

Petroleum Engineering is better, engineers are needed more in the oil industry.

This is a good idea and I think it is long overdue. Let the Igbo's start working on a consensus candidate from now. Let them discourage multiple Igbo candidates. Power must change hands.

I usually ignore mentions but I will overlook that and ask you to work understand English Language.

Well... enjoy your knowledge of the military.

Thanks Prof

Some people actually lost their sense of reasoning after somebody ran away when the Python came to town. I'm sure he took their brain with him as he fled for his life.

Why is it that soldiers of the junior cader are never recognized when they are killed? You only get to hear about a soldiers rank if he is an officer. If it is a solider of junior cader they only report that so so number of soldiers were killed and a captain for example. They never state rhein ranks when they are the ones doing all the fighting.

Officers are trained to command the troops, this WO is being honored because he has that ability which is rare amongst NCO's due to the kind of training they have.

Zoharariel:


More than half of all the Hausa/Fulanis in the Nigerian Army & other Civil Service were actually promoted & favoured above their counterparts based on the “quota-system”.

If you apply to the NDA and you do not have an Hausa/Fulani names, even if you excel in the exams, your chances of being enlisted is “zero”. I know this because I've lived in the north for more than 10 years.

This is Y Nigeria is fvcked.

What will you gain for telling lies? So military recruitment is no longer state based? Abeg make una dey fear God before una lie Na

intruxive:
Must igbos hate always? Can dey not just pretend to be reasonable a litle?
Gallantry is a valid reason for promoting an already experienced soldier, all other trainings will be given him gradually.
Thank God for people like him, BH would have captured nnewi by now and some ppl will be idps in cameroun

Thank you, it's just a mark of honour, he probably has maximum of 7yrs left.

Wiseandtrue:
Make una dey promote una self soon and very soon without restructuring, There will be revolution that will be too much for you to handle!

Everybody is talking about revolution while hiding behind their phones but can't put words to action. Nigerians are the greatest cowards u can ever think of.

Penalty82:



If he's a southerner, the COAS wouldn't have noticed all these, even if he does, he can't give him this kind of accelerated promotion.

The promotion was well planed and played.

Lol, I see tribal sentiment everywhere.

Paperwhite:
So is he the only one that made up the battalion or what is the justification for this accelerated promotion? No officers training @ the NDA? It can only be with an aboki you know.That is how they undeservely perpetuate themselves on the Nigerian nation.

Words of an Ignorant citizen

koboko69:


I thought u guys said it was only southerners fighting BH. U people are pathetically bitter souls ..

Very bitter and self-centered

DONADAMS:
you're very right...infact..executives are on training now..expected to be commissioned December..an uncle made it

May your days be long, don't mind the buffoons they'll be saying what they know nothing about.

DONADAMS:
that's where you got it wrong bro..79na doesn't mean they joined the army 1979...dad joined 1984 and he's 79NA...I think 79NA has upto 20intakes....1 to 15 are all retired now..so there are still some 79NA in service..there will be no more 79NA in 6years time

79NA simply means he joined btw 1974 and 1989. By 1990 the Army started using the year you joined for assigning numbers

Dedetwo:


On what matters of military is Warrant officer more experienced than any captain or major?

Battle experience, WO's are always very key in any formation due to the years of experience they've gotten.

Dedetwo:


This is the type of arrant nonsense that led to the January 15, 1966 coup in Nigeria. How could a reasonable army jump promotion process from warrant officer to Captain?

It is not a must to comment

sapientia:


The best they can do is to convert him to an officer. Yes. a warrant Officer is supposed to have spent same years in the military with a Brig.Gen.. But is no grounds for such promotions.

Trainings for other ranks and officers are not same

What is this one saying? Converted to what kind of officer so the rank of Captain is for an NCO? It's obvious you know nothing about the military.
