There's nothing like "degree".

A University awards B.sc , B.A , P.hd. M.A , M.sc, LL.b, B.pharm, MB.BS, etc.

Check other candidates names on that list, that's what you see.

Why was "SS3 exams" not written in place of his GCE or "Primary 6 exams" not written in place of his "FSLC"?

It should have been B.A Philosophy if he graduated with a third class like they say.
The joke is one you! cheesy

You have no issue with Tinubu not having a record of his FSLC nor WASCE/G.C.E nor the names of his primary school and secondary school as was written for some candidates, only his first degree but your issue is that INEC didn't type B.A Philosophy for Obi? cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Is that how it is done?

Is it the university to deny or for Obi to prove himself?

What if said Obi attended University of Calabar?

Shoulf Unical come out to claim he didn't attend their university?

How many dem go deny?
What a limited thinking!

Who did the typing of the list?

Prof. Peter Umeadi, a former Chief Justice of a state and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is it not only primary and secondary school education that was typed as his educational qualifications or did you not see that, also?

Why did he not put his BSc at the university as part of his INEC qualifications?

Except maybe INEC officials don kolomental for writing the degree like that without the actual one like they did for his other colleagues on the list.

believe me, i communicated nice with her like my younger sister.
"I told her point blank she doesn't smell nice, her face changed somehow as if i insulted her and she left".

That was a hit at her self-esteem....trust me, behavioural change will less likely be achieved by that. You did mention her younger sister had same issue and that is a likely indication that personal hygiene scores very low in their home and body odour is so normalized in their home, that it is a non-issue to them. I have been to homes entire family share same towels and toothbrushes (imagining family of 8 sharing 3 toothbrushes) shocked

Yes, many of us while growing up were told things we considered nasty point blank and were expected to go deal with it. Reality is, a teenager today is not same as the teenager of 2012, not to talk of the 80s and 90s, just like when you view the brains of 3year olds of today and those of the 90s, when you compare.....e go shock you! cheesy

Just what I was about to type before finishing the story. Probably they made her life a living hell prior to her demise. No need to have her corpse in their compound.
Had similar case in my place back in the late 90s, the woman had already left the husband with their 2 children and Uncle no send. My kinsmen told the husband and his relatives to come for the refund of the bride price, Uncle intentionally refused to show up because he was using it to "tie her down", preventing her from marrying another man, if she wanted to though the woman wasn't interested in re-marrying as she just wanted to close that chapter while Oga had remarried. She passed on few years later when their first daughter had just entered the University and oga showed up fuming, that we must give account what killed "his wife" and mortuary receipt must be handed over to him huh. Police got involved, las, las dem bury am for her papa land in the village. He shifted battle to custody of the 2 daughters, after how many tears of not bothering about the welfare of their daughters.

The younger one was then in S.S.2 and both refused going with him......the older daughter who lives in Ireland came back to Nigeria in 2013 for her Registry wedding in Lagos with her Dutch husband, na him Oga went to harrass my kinsmen, accusing them of 'giving out" his daughter's hand in marriage, Oga forgot that in one of the altercations with the daughter when her mom died, she said he no go "chop kolanut" on top her head, reaping where he did not sow. We believe she intentionally married an European, eliminating her father's serial threats that he would frustrate any intending groom coming for her hand in marriage.....so no traditional wedding! cheesy

Okay, let us pretend that corporal punishment brought us here. We are richer than a few countries that I know of that are not examples of corporal punishment. Let us talk about Venezuela and Cuba for a minute. Two countries that I am privileged to have visited. What is the reason for their pervasiveness or economic downfall? Need I mention the Philippines? Nepal? Or Morocco?

if we have to focus on aggression, why are the Egyptians more aggressive than Nigerians? Or, why are Arabs more aggressive than Nigerians?

The actual products of corporal punishment are not the leaders who are in power. Everyone in power today is a product of nepotism. In Saudi Arabia, you are being monitored like a little child. There is Shariah in place that serves instant justice.

Like I said earlier, the anarchical system paved way for lack of accountability. Even the men in power today will tell you of how it was yesterday. They know! The reason why they do not promote it is because they will lose control of power or they might indict themselves by so doing.

The number of serial murder cases is higher in white neighborhoods where kids are overly spoilt and raised to be soft balls. The suicide rate is higher in India and in the white communities where people are raised like eggs and glass. Nigeria is not the world capital of pervasion. Give that to the US and many other western countries. Nudity is still restricted in Nigeria. How many girls feel comfortable in bikinis in Nigeria? hardly a few. How many girls are actually into this runs business? I know the number is high due to our population, but the level of sex trafficking and sex exploitation in Vietnam or in the Asian continent is mindboggling in comparison to Nigeria.

Are Nigerians truly repressive of their sentiments? No! Nigerians are in the top ten league of the loudest people in the world. Travel around and foreigners will tell you. Many of these are people who have no name to be accountable for. Nigerians are very vociferous and expressive. The only issue here is that when a Nigerian is in a premise of anarchy, he tends to exploit violence as an option. . They have absolutely immersed themselves in the absence of lack of accountability. Nigerians throw curveballs because there is no discipline. Nigerians are the most disciplined in places where discipline trends. Go look for Nigerians in Ireland, in Angola, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad and Tobago, etc. They have a good name because they are held hostage. You can see that Nigerians are currently being contained in the UAE now since the grip got lose they showed the government that they throw curveballs. Now that the government tightens it, go and see how well-disciplined Nigerians are becoming in the UAE.

If you talk about people who instill fear in children, you go to Asia. Places where people are killed for violating simple family traditions. They call it honor killing. A woman has no right to fall in love or be loved. People are traded like goods. A man cannot decide who to marry. Those are people who are raised suppressively. Nigerian parents discipline you for a particular misconduct. Not a perpetual control of feelings. Respect you might say, is regarding elders or speaking against and institution. Which is obtainable in the palace of the queen as well.

I do enjoy talking with sound minds like you cos the challenge and exchange is good . But, the impact of anarchy is fuels the curveball. Nigerians are very decent if they want to be. All these thieves in power feel absolute cos of the anarchy.
My interest has always been to have a clinical insights of the human mind and most especially that of children thus my relocation to the UK for my specialization in clinical child psychology, I see some immigrants parents here (especially Africans) who struggle with parenting as they struggle to find a balance when it comes to disciplining their kids, beating which is already ingrained in them or what is acceptable by UK standard.

I work in a facility that has young ones with conduct disorders and undergoing the Management Of Actual And Potential Aggression (MAPA ) training was essential before starting the job because my role involves continually being faced with unruly kids who by "Nigerian way" you will beat the hell out but my clinical child psychology background reminds me, that is not the way to go and can equally physically put them under control utilizing my MAPA skills.

Society and the people in it are evolving at a fast pace and the reality is that we must continually seek out what would keep the majority of the people on the "right path" (though right path is relative)

Sixfiguresmart:
Well, your points are absolute and highly logical. I am glad that you live in a foreign country. Here is my question, The Nigeria of which you speak is the Nigeria of the millennials, right?

I am certain that you were born before the 90ies to ask such an in-depth question. With that covered, look back in time when you were little, is the crime rate comparable to what we have today? Was it possible for Nigerians who lived abroad to return back to their villages or to the cities and live normal? Was it possible for farmers to walk deep into the forest to plant and harvest their crops? Was it possible for a married man to live in the rural towns and sponsor his child through school in the city?

Considering the fact, leads you to a conclusion that it is not the discipline but the system that incapacitates the Nigerians. Had there been a time than now when Nigerians are stigmatized abroad for bad records?

So, the older Nigerians who received the hardest discipline, grew up to condemn the discipline that they had received because they got exposed to western lifestyle and spoilt their children with poor training. This is the effect that we are seeing now.

How many sexual deviants did you know back in the early 90ies? How many ritualist before Clifford orji did you know? How many drug addicts, I mean, apart from Tinubu did you know in the 80ies? How many kidnappers or criminals before Anini did you know? Rituals, I would say has always been a part of African tradition or religion. From the west to the east and south and North, Africans have never ceased to perform rituals. But, the extent of killing for money-rituals now is overwhelming. Why didn't we have these back in the 80ies?

Now, let us talk about functional Nigerian adults. in what sector in Nigerian economy did we lack functional Nigerian adults in the 60ies, 70ies, 80ies or early 90ies? Did you know the exchange rate of the naira to the dollar? Did yo know that Nigeria was once the top world exporter? Did you know that we had the biggest economy by a far-stretched margin? Did you know how respected Nigerians were? Did you know that Nigerians had so many no-violent protests before the 9ies? Did you know that Asians came to Nigeria to learn our skills? Did you know that Nigerian graduates were highly sought after in many countries?

So, speaking about functional Nigerian adults, we had them in surplus. And, those men are the product of corporal punishment. Check the trend. Thing went south from a particular period of time. Then, check the events happening in the country at that time. Nigerians are becoming too soft now because they are no longer disciplined. There is anarchy in town. If you engage in a heated argument with a Nigerian, his next move is violence or aggression. Why? he simply has no words to commute his feelings. He knows anger cos he is not disciplined enough to know his restrictions.

Back in the days, the discipline continues. After parenting, the community holds you accountable. You have a name to defend which can in turn, have a disastrous effect on your family or career. Today, a good name is on sale. There is subtle anarchy in town because of lack of discipline.
I read all you posted but would love to focus on the highlighted and I am glad you brought that up.

Aggression that is very prevalent in Nigeria is as a result of repression of feelings...... from childhood, overwhelming majority of us were not socialized to verbally express our feelings as it has always been regarded as being "ill mannered". Many Nigerian families didn't and still don't provide a safe space for their young ones to express themselves, many were raised to repress for fear of punishment . So when they become adults and no longer fear of being punished, they "explode".

Lest, I forget.....the overwhelming majority of today's Nigerian leaders are products of corporal punishment and we know where we are today. Corporal punishments do not transmit values, it aids in repressing emotions that would very likely manifest in some other forms.

My bro,
Discipline is not for blacks alone. They also get disciplined. some of their parents are old school too. they flog and they spank. they slap and they choke. do not let anyone tell you that the white man is without discipline.

apart from that, African parents go through a lot. the parents have fewer moments with the kids and they cannot play those oyibo discipline in such timeframe. African parents are mentally and physically exhausted and that also affects the way they treat the kids.

If you follow the white man's method, you will lose your child to drugs, homosexuality and know that the system is not designed to accommodate a soft black man.

a soft black man cannot survive in the place of work, on the street and even in marriages. When a black man is too soft, even his wife will desert him.

I call for discipline because when the police meet you as a black person, the treatment that they will give is what they put your parents in jail for and everyone will applaud them.
No one can tell me that the white man is without discipline because I live amongst them and professionally do work with children and adolescents especially those with conduct disorders. I am glad you highlighted how mental and physical exhaustion reflects in the parenting but have you paused to reflect that despite the beatings some Nigerians got as children, that they turned out to become drug addicts, sexual deviants, ritualists, kidnappers etc?, We can't say our prisons are filled with people whose parents didn't beat.

What my focus is more on, is how has the beatings majority of Nigerians received as children translated into more functional adults in Nigeria, into a more humane society?
Family › Re: Flogging Toddlers- Is It Really Necessary? by Mindlog:
No, disciplining a toddler should not involve flogging.

In as much as some Nigerians do "glorify" the beatings (some qualifies as near murder as brutality was normalized) they received as children (personally, I regard it as unhealthy coping mechanism), we need to ask how that has manifested in the adults we have in Nigeria today.

Oyibo dey spoil pikin, na the same spoilt pikins who become adults they manage their countries and many Africans with the severe beatings as children, are the ones queueing up at the embassy for Visa to those countries.

Helpout12345:
Okay. If truly the woman is in better financial situation than the man and she is displaying this type of anger on video. Then, the man has lots to gain from this divorce if the man has a very good divorce lawyer. A woman can pay spousal support, lose her property or investment too to a man if she has more financial power in the marriage.

This anger on display here, and if the man can get more evidences, she might end up losing more if she loses the custody of the children to her husband
Has lots to gain from which divorce? They better not be on post study work visa!

From the video, there is an indication the man is not earning because the wife said when she was rushed to the hospital, while admitted she called her husband to bring her food that she is hungry, the husband replied that she should send money for the food and she reminded him she gave him £30 the previous day and he said it was money she "dashed" him. She said she returned back home hungry.

If the husband is jobless, I see no reason for that because there are factories and warehouses that would pay him about £11 per hour and above, so I don't know where the talk of spousal support is coming from or has UK government declared him too sick to work?

I believe both of them have videos of what has been happening inside their home apart from the one we saw.
