....it is called 'false flag' in intelligence parlance,since cameroun has become the new heaven of boko-haram group and after much diplomatic moves by Nigerian government to make camerounian authorities see reason why these inglorious bastards shld be flushed,seemed to have failed.The intelligence community choose option 'B',disguise and hit the gendarmes in a boko-haram fashion and all hell will be let loose...My gratitude goes to the Nigerian intelligence community and the reactionary cameronian gendarmes!!!

shortgun: So what are they saying

This write-up is supposedly coming from professors, doctors,phd holders e.t.c, yet one cannot make sense of the article.

I've always said, the problems of Education in Nigeria is with the Lecturers and managers of our Universities.

How come the road side mechanics,bricklayers,carpenters are able to train their apprentices to become experts and in turn train others, yet our lecturers with their doctorate degrees n ph.ds cannot produce a graduate who can create job for himself not to talk of creating employment for others.

d citizen:
@mama oringo, What lagos need to do is to sponsor a bill dat will recognised lagos as a special state but i doubt if the bill will succed until lagos is reverted to its status as a former capital without indigene- and settler dichotomy. I mean lagos should remain on her own like abuja with fct minister without a governor.

nnocurruption: Mr world traveller some countries do not practice this besides, there are billions of things that are already wrong about Nigeria that needs to be right before thinking about registering people in their respective states of residence. All am saying is that fashola should set his priority right, but Nigerian leaders only know the meaning of the word "priority" they don't understand it that is why they think legalising child marriage is what Nigeria needs. Dumb ass leaders they think like children

Bsmartt: Better by far!!!
Unilorin is Just like any other international University Where you know When you will graduate unlike the ASUU brothers fighting mostly for their pocket neglecting the consequence of delaying the graduation date of the student. PROBITAS DOCTRINA!

Neyoor: First of his Kind! Kudos to the VC for achieving this. Admin send this to frontpage plsss

Female UNILAG Law School Graduate Arrested For Armed Robbery In Lagos

Chioma claimed that she graduated from UNILAG in 1999, was called to the bar in 2000, and owns a Non-Governmental Organisation, Youth of All Nations Empowerment Association. But authorities of the University of Lagos said she did graduate from that institution.

Delafruita: i didn't see a challenge so I wonder why you choose to term someone a lackey for stating the reality.the. Reality is there are very few molues currently in lagos because most people have chosen to go along with the BRT which is more covenient and equally affordable.there Is hardly any route where the molue is cheaper that BRT.so what difference does it make if the haphazard looking molues are eradicated?the drivers can be absorbed into the BRT sceheme besides the molues haven't even been eradicated.just restricted to certain areas

berem: Pen pal? I remember having Pen pals from America in the 90's. Then you could write letters directly to whoever you wanted and you'll be replied.I had few names and addresses of American celebrities. I once wrote letter to HULK HUGAN and he sent me a T shirt with his picture on it. No yahoo yahoo intended.

donroxy: Ability to hold yourself absolutely responsible for your Success and Failures is what It really mean to be a man to me !!!


I hate transfering blame ..... I can give u my ''kudos'' sha ........ .... Priority is getting the Job done whatever legal means it takes !!!

veraponpo: Bros, the B is Brazil not Britain. It is actually BRICS meaning Brazil, Russia,India,China and South Africa. They are world emerging economies. Britain and other EU countries are not there. These countries used to be called developing countries until recently that they actually moved out of others.

karl max: this is the same party that has tom ikimi that served under ibb. They didnt add even 1kva to national grid ,audu ogbe was pdp chairman during obj period how many kva did they add to the national grid? El rufai also attended fec meetings with obj as a pdp memeber,what of achike udenwa who did six years as governor in imo state as a pdp member these are some of the strong men of apc who for more than 10 years were pdp members.but today this same people would open their mouth and say pdp has ruled for 14 years without achieving nothing.while they were part and parcel of that 14 years rule.most of the formal corrupt pdp governors,ministers senators and house of rep members that misruled nigeria are now the leaders of the so called progressive.but in 2015 they would find out that nigerians are no fools

olatiler: Am very happy that we still have few honest guy like u on this forum, thanks for all point mention
Lastly am not interested in anybody pleading with Lagosian Ibo to desist from their action of dictating to their Host Community, pls more effort, we have already witness what happen to most of them in North, maybe is time the SW let them realise why other tribe are afraid of Fighting war against us

Boss13: What do you mean by poor people. Please change that word to regular people.

There is no drainage in ikoyi and a suspended bridge was built (that does not even alleviate the traffic problem). The drainage in V.I is also in poor state. However, some people are here to deceive many. Do they go out at all?

deeptesting: I am happy someone has brought the attention of Nigerians to the deplorable state of roads in Alimosho Local Government Area..The submission of the reporter is nothing but a perfect condition of the people living in that area,the worst case scenario is your attempt to connect Cele Bus Stop from Ikotun in the morning..It is not just about the award of contracts on paper and some shallow minds will be celebrating; it is about the completion of such projects within a reasonable time to alleviate the suffering of the people..This is the same issue with the Buknor-Ijegun road been handled by HI-TECH or HI-ALOMO,which has been under construction for over 6 years without any visible progress..BRF should come to the aid of these communities and award contracts to competent contractors and not charlatans.

are far above Fashola in excellent performance with much less resources per citizen.

Boss13: Many of us are sycophanting for Fashola now and probably the next governor. However, I am astonished at how economic power is shifting to Abuja. The moment Financial Institution cite the head offices in Abuja, Lagos will cease being the economic power house of Nigeria.

Emekanews: Osueke, according to the police boss, had led the kidnap and subsequent murder of Esieme in a nearby community, killing also two police officers last February, after which he was said to have escaped to Lagos

Ngwakwe: The report forgot to mention the most heinous anti poor governance in Lagos State that have created poverty from wealth more than all Nigerian States combined.

Whereas the middle class who are not civil or public servants have their sources of income subjected to draconian legislation and authoritarian manipulation with no alternative, yet they poor are subjected to daily bashing by the agencies of the government to back to village as if the government is their personal property.

Let's concentrate on the report and forget the party as all na the same.

turl: offtopic mate, are you by any chance an old boy? (mbhs?)

Centdonald1: Good argument but please! Where did you get these facts from I would love to see for myself!

If you tell a lie one hundred times, it does not become a truth, all it becomes is a lie told a hundred times. As Mahatma Gandhi said: An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.

Did you just wake up? Did you never before know of these provisions in the constitution and occurrences across Nigeria since forever?

No, not what you said Femi, nor what much of the junk media propagated, the senate did not pass any child marriage bill on July 16th.

Again, not the calumniation you proliferate, the senate did not approve child marriage by failing to delete Section 29 (4)(b), they only retained as ingrained in the constitution, a married young woman's right to renounce her citizenship for purposes which include but are not limited to asylum seeking and foreign spouse related travel.

Again, no, Femi Fani-Kayode, there is no Muslim law that permits sex with children.

Emphasis: Islam is vehemently against sex with children and Islam does not permit pedophilia.

Education and Information: Sex with anyone who is post-pubertal is not pedophilia. Pedophilia is defined as: A person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward pre-pubertal children.

Fact on culture: 78% of marriages in north Nigeria are to women below the age of 18. (Most wise people know that protests and threats never change culture or religion.)
Fact on culture: 70% of marriages in Mali are to women below the age of 18. (And Mali does not have Nigeria's peculiar VVF explosive crises)

Fact: The age of marriage in south Nigeria is generally set at 16.

Fact: The age of marriage for girls in the Vatican is set at 14 as per the code of canon law.

Facts: In the US, the age of marriage in New York is 14, New Hampshire is 13, North Carolina is 14, Rhode Island has no minimum age, Tennessee has no minimum age, Washington state has no minimum and Pennsylvania has no minimum age.

Facts: Minimum age of marriage in Spain is 14 (2013 now 16), Greece 16, Albania, 16, Austria 16, Denmark 15, Georgia 15, Lithuania 15, Poland, 16, Romania 16, England and Wales 16, Sweden 15, Canada 15, Slovenia 15, Ireland and Iceland - none, Serbia 16, Slovenia 15.

Fact: USA refused to sign the UN declaration of the rights of a child.

Fact: Old age also is a great risk of fistula; and the total prevalence of fistulae is 188 per 100,000 women aged 15 to 49 years in South Saharan Africa. Pierre Marie Tebeu et al, Int Urogynecol J. 2012

Fact: Seven primary risk factors for obstetrical fistula commonly reported include the place of birth and presence of a skilled birth attendant, the duration of labor and the use of a partograph, the lack of prenatal care, early marriage and young age at delivery, older age, lack of family planning, and a number of other poorly defined additional factors... Pierre Marie Tebeu et al, Int Urogynecol J. 2012

Fact: US has 500,000 teen pregnancies per year and 4000 girls get pregnant at age 12 and no age-related fistulae.

Nota bene: Human beings are not tinned tomato with 'best before' or 'expiration date,' and as hence, 18 can in no logical or physiological way, be the magical date that a child becomes an adult.

Nota bene: 18 is not a date enforced under the child rights UN act. It is only a recommended date; to maintain signatory to the act, a state can adopt an age of choice as its age of majority, above or below 18.

Nota bene: Biologically, medically and culturally, adulthood is defined as the attainment of sexual and social maturity, and is variable inter and intra-specie. A 13 year post pubertal man may not yet be intellectually mature just as a 52 year old man may not be deemed mature if he still acts intellectually and socially pediatric.

Popular consensus of the blesseds: Mary was 12 when she was betrothed to 90 year old Joseph, and God gave her Jesus when she was ~12-16.

Medical facts:

Teen pregnancy does not cause vesico or recto-vaginal fistula, lack of nearby quality obstetric care does.

Teen pregnancy reduces the risk/rate of breast cancer by 50%. Repeat, 50%!

Between teens and thirties, fertility rate drops by as much as 40%!

The body copes better and recovers more perfectly after teen birth, compared to old birth.

Social facts:

There are 2 teen pregnancies in south Nigeria for every 8 in the north.

#WomanNotCommodity

Aristo's are men who line up with their cars at Moremi and other campus halls to predate on and rump peoples teen and older daughters.

#WomanNotCommodity

All the thousands of teens and twenty year old girls that patrol the streets all over Nigeria, risking and selling their bodies to men, are people's daughters; repeat, they are people's daughters, and are the greatest threat to womanhood in Nigeria at present.

#WomanNotCommodity

81% of Nigerian women suffer from domestic violence, including wife murdering which is very prevalent and almost exclusive to southern parts of Nigeria.

The right to life: Abortion crises in Nigeria is a great threat to our women as well as murder of babies. This is a clear cause for address.

In conclusion.

There is no problem with Nigeria having this conversation in a mature, respectable productive format, on our women, their rights including age, opportunity, marriage and domestic violence related. But there is absolutely no reason for these childish rants and hopeless cheap-publicity seeking campaigns.

Nigeria is just--thank God--finally putting a lid on Boko Haram ethno-tensive risky violence. We are dealing with the second worst high sea piracy in the world, with the worst government in the world. Nigeria is the worst place to be born. If anything, married males should also be included in the provision and granted the rights of renunciation. And perhaps also, our purer teens should be allowed to vote, maybe this will save us from the stupid choices our adults vote into power. No law was broken in the events of the fateful senate meeting of July 16, neither law of God, nor law of man was violated. Do you wish a law to be violated? Do you wish senators to vote against the desires of their constituents who elected them to office? Why do Nigerians love and promote lawlessness? Due process was followed that fateful day. Why do we not first go after the millions of actual legal violations in the government and community that are clear and present government terror, than continue peddling this preposterous, gelastic, harebrained misinformation and misconstruction of events of the proceedings, with only aim, to attack 80% of northern marriages and in effect incite ethnic distrust? What a sorry nation with the most misplaced revolutions in history. They say lawyers are liars. I hardly believe. And so also, I refuse to believe the caution that actresses should always be suspected of being in performance.

I am not sure the world started in Nigeria, so why must the apocalypse begin from Nigeria? I rest my case on this ludicrous distraction and hereby return to the issues of 5>27 and 16>19, child and teenage numbers, surpassing adult numbers. And perhaps also, our purer teens should be allowed to vote, maybe this will save us from the stupid choices our adults vote into power.
