If you knew what's going on in political circles in Nigeria, you wouldn't have posted this. I had a friend who was contesting to be a councilor. Before going for his party primaries he was asked to bring some diabolical stuff to be buried at a cemetery at 00:00hrs. He just told them to go f**k themselves and he withdrew from the race. That's just for a f**king councilor position.

An examination of US States shows that they spend between 37% and 45% of their State Budgets on Secondary&Tertiary education, with Health, and Infrastructure generally ranking Second and Third respectively.

State Percentage Year of Reference
California 42.5% 2022
Texas 41.6% 2021
New York 44.0% 2022
Nevada 37.5% 2020

A pool of US State Spendings on Education. It is estimated that the US States spend 41% of budgets on education on average.


The State of Nevada was 49th of 50 US States on Educational spending with about 37.5% of State Budget on Secondary (K-12) and Higher Education, with States such as California spending 42% on the combined levels of Secondary & Tertiary Education.


In the United States Education is principally funded by State Governments, with the Federal Government controlling the direction of Education and Research through grants and funding allocations.

The spending seems to be paying off with the US being the most entrepreneural major economy in the world with more than 130,000 major companies (100-500 staff) and a $76,000 per capita productivity.

An Enugu State High Court has sentenced an employee of the Central Bank of Nigeria Jude Ozuogu and his wife, Ifeoma Ozuogu to 13 years imprisonment for child abuse.

The couple were found guilty of inflicting bodily harm on their 10-year-old home help.

Ifeoma was 24 at the time she was arrested in 2020 alongside her husband, Jude Ozuogu, by personnel of the Enugu command of the Nigeria Police Force.

The victim, Nneoma Nnadi, was abused for allegedly causing the couple’s baby to fall to the ground.

The convict was also accused of inserting pepper into the little girl's private parts and locking her up in the toilet for refusing to wash plates.


Ozuogu used hot pressing iron, knife, nail and hammer to inflict injuries on the little girl.


The incident happened at Aku in the Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of the state.

Nnadi was said to have carried her mistress' little baby to pamper her to sleep around midnight when the baby mistakenly fell to the ground.

Though there was no physical or internal injury suffered by the baby, Ozuogu descended heavily on the girl over the incident by burning her skin with a hot pressing iron and also driving a nail into her head.

The following day, Ozuogu inserted pepper into the little girl's vagina and locked her up in the toilet for refusing to wash plates.

It took the intervention of neighbours, who heard the girl's cry, to rescue and rush her to the hospital for treatment.

Consequently, the neighbours reported the incident to the police, which swiftly arrested her. Her husband, Jude was also arrested for being an accomplice to the crime.

Thereafter, they were arraigned before Justice A. C. Ogbuabor of State High Court 10 on three counts bordering on inflicting grievous harm, administering noxious or piousness substance and employment of a child as a domestic worker.

Delivering judgment in the suit marked No: HE/121c/2020 between the State (Plaintiff/Applicant and Jude Ozuogu and Ifeoma Ozuogu (1 & 2 Defendants), the court convicted them.

Condemning the treatment meted out to the 10-year-old girl, the court sentenced the couple to 13 years imprisonment (total individual tally) each.

Justice Ogbuabor convicted the couple on all three counts and sentenced them accordingly. On count one - Inflicting grievous harm, the court sentenced them to three years imprisonment.

On count two - administering a noxious or poisonous substance, the court sentenced the couple to five years imprisonment and on count three - employment of a child as a domestic worker, the court sentenced the couple to five years imprisonment.

The court, however, ordered that the period the convicts had stayed in custody from the day of arrest should be discounted. "All sentences shall run concurrently," the judge so held.

Assessing Buhari - By The Statistics

•Buhari has been statistically worse than any previous leader, even Abacha

The Nigeria Economist | December 15, 2022

The statistics do not favour the Buhari regime and so might reality. From poverty to deaths, unemployment, inflation and economic collapse, Buhari is seen to be worse than Abacha, far worse statistically.

Abacha was a Nigerian Military leader who ruled from November 1993 to June 1998. He took over power from the interim Ernest Shonekan Government on the 17th of November, 1993 citing that it was a move "to bring about stability to the nation" threatened by the "uncertainty of the interim Government."

Abacha was originally from Kano State and was both Chief of Defense Staff and Minister of Defense at the time of his coup. Abacha is said to have been involved in many coups leading to his own, including the coup that brought Babangida.

He was however not known to be involved in harm against civilians. He commuted Obasanjo's death sentence to a 15 year Imprisonment and said he was warned not to interfere in Ken Saro-Wiwa's case. He reduced Nigeria's inflation (from 54% in 1993) to 8.5% in 1997, increased CBN reserves by over $9bn as at 1997 and reduced the national debt. He had a GDP growth of 2.2%.


Below are some of his numbers and as they compare with Buhari:

GDP Growth:
Abacha: 2.2%
Buhari: 1.1%

�Infl change:
Abacha: 54%(1993) > 8.5%(1997)
Buhari: 9%(2015) > 79%(2022), (2015 base year)


Fed Debt:
Abacha: $36b(1993) > $27b(1997)
Buhari: $20b > $109b

CBN Reserves:
Abacha: $0.4b(1993) > $9.7b(1997)
Buhari: $37b(2015)~$37b(2022)

Central Govt Corruption (per annum)
Abacha: $2.2bn
Buhari: $30bn , per annum (est.)

Killings:
Abacha:2000 (est.)
Buhari: 66,000

Unemployment:
Abacha: 13.0% > 8.0% (est)
Buhari: 6.7%(2015) > 33.3%(2021)


Abacha was the first known Nigerian Military General to have become a General without skipping a single previous rank. He was married to only one wife with whom he had 9 children. He is survived today by 33 grandchildren. About $4.3bn has so far been repatriated to Nigeria as hidden proceeds from his regime but analysts estimate the Buhari regime might have deviated in excess of $160bn from national coffers.

The highlighted is not correct because God promised that "there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and UNRIGHTEOUS" {Act 24:15} the righteous are faithful servants of God who knew God's laws and lived by it {Hebrews 11:4-12:1} [the unrighteous aren't evil people because God has sworn in His anger that evildoers will be cut off {Psalms 37:9} They may fall into his trap and they will be destroyed for good!
