@nedekid: he is correct... back in d 70s.. there was d newly discovered oil boom.. Gowon said spending the money was d problem...it was a lot of new money for the country at the time.. On top of that, like nairalanda1 said, d number of students to be subsidized were not much. Even through d 90s & early 2000s which i think is d timeline u are describing, there were still not so many students in universities. Now, govt has very poor revenue compared to our 220M population and we have far much more students in govt universities...
Yes there is a lot of corruption, but even without d corruption, Nigeria is currently poor.


U said , education should be free to any level. I think it's only primary & secondary that should be free as a matter of right. Tertiary education should be paid for with govt intervening through scholarships for very brilliant but indigent students.. Although, maybe the economy would need to get better first before d pay for tertiary education policy is introduced.

There is nothing like free education.

All the countries that run free education either do so at the expense of taxing their citizens half their. income or by massive debt or by running crap schools .

What you are supporting is crap education based on making it artifially free.

Not that Tinubu government is doing any better , but there is nothing like free education.


p.s

iF you want free education in Nigeria, we have to have an economy that is exporting manufactured goods actively, and we also have to have a decent tax system, and anticorruption.

Anyone calling me APC data boy is essentially saying that we have an economy that is exporting manufactured goods, a good taxation system, and no corruption. As that is not the case, better think.

Nigeria cannot afford free quality education. We can afford free crap education, with NELFUND paying the 'debt', and a system that is worsened by corruption. We have to change our leadership to one that promotes productivity and industries and anticorruption. Vote for Obi..he is not perfect, but he is tending towards that way.

But we cannot fund free quality education on our budget. Bayelsa is spending 1.1 trillion naira as its 2026 budget. That university proobably needs 14 trillion naira as its annual budget to even begin to compete with the world.Same thing for most of your universities.

The way we are going, the products of private universites and foreign universites would soon surpass the government uni products. And that is bad news for kids from poor homes.

When you say Nigerian always establish you are talking about yourself n your household. Nigerians are buying cars n building houses daily here.

Tinubu and his 34 thieves are uneducated, piece of sh.t, international drug barons, certificate forgers, document forgers, age falsified,election riggers, etc..

AlphaTaikun:
Impressive insights.

Some young posters here engage in knee-jerk reactions. They just don't read posts properly or pay attention to the little details of other experienced people's NL posts anymore BUT like to argue blindly and throw insults. One young person who claimed he recently relocated abroad did the same thing to me just today by misreading my original post then started rambling with banal insults. I later found out from his past posts that he is just about 30 yrs of age while my youngest sibling is over 45 years. I calmly talked some hard sense into his head and frustrated being with plans to BLOCK him on NL when he reads my reply. I will NEVER indulge childish behaviors like that online.

That's how they lose opportunities to be helped in life. You did well by sharing some of your deep insights on the haulage business which I know has a good ROI.

The problem with transportation business be say, when maintenance expenses come e go wipe out all your savings and even put you for debt.

He's right..... I knew him at mopol 20 barracks Ikeja just behind the Lagos state police headquarters around the 90's
Even though it was his step mother that owns the business.. He always assists her with sales and errands..
Mama Eno akara as we call it then..

Sorry.. My bad...
Thanks for calling my attention to this..
I didn't mention about the fact that he exaggerated the amount they were making then in their akara business..
They couldn't have made up to such amount even if he wants to equate it with the current value of naira now..
I appreciate your calling my attention to the piece...
My regards to your family chief..

This may due to climate change.

Tinubu is a father to Atiku politically, which Atiku himself knows

LordBiden:
Of what use is the oil to the average venezuelans on the streets before the Americans brought their deal.

Despite huge oil reserves most venezuelans lived in poverty under maduro,I think you need to first read the contents of the deal before going ballistic.

You shouldn't criticize every trump policy,this deal is a win win for both the Americans and the venezuelan people.

Save journey your excellence sir.

Nigerians are lucky to have you as our leader.

Subsidy will be back soon.

79% of Nigerians are living in poverty.

Ogbeni, activist....cry no more Tinubu will win 2027....All of you are sounding like a broken record, Is it Obi or Atiku that have not stolen the common wealth of the people.


Assuming Sowore is in league of the serious contenders I would have suggested you are making sense.

Tinubu, Yari, Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Shettima......are all thieves

So don't come and sell a better thief for us.

Serious party, serious people unlike those who are still confused looking for missing certificates instead of starting their official campaign for the election

Apc have been making so many efforts about the 2027 election yet some people will still be accusing them of planning to rig. What then is all this preparation for

PDPdestroyer:
See the kind environment him dey stay sef, just like their Osun situation room
That’s why I keep saying most of them are hungry and broke individuals who have been sold a lie that Obi is coming to make their lives better, something he couldn’t do as governor of tiny Anambra. Association of mhorunz, scammers and dregs of the society. I cant wait for January 2027 when they will finally be discarded like used sanitary pads into the dustbins of our political history
