We lack the "good Samaritan" spirit in Nigeria, and it's because of our poor security system. She's supposed to be taken to the hospital instead of taking snap shot of her. But If you decide to help her, you will be robed in by the police for what you know nothing about. If we had surveillance cameras everywhere working 24/7, it would be easy to ascertain incidences.

*Inside the world of first-class mathematician languishing on Ebonyi farmland*


In some countries, Emmanuel Nworie, a first-class mathematics graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, would have used his knowledge to advance the prospects of his country, either in an academic environment or information technology sector. But the genius is wasting away on a farmland in Ebonyi state.


Had it been mechanised farming, Nworie would have, no doubt, made use of his skill effectively. But in a modern age, the scholar relies on hoe and cutlass for subsistence farming. The life journey of Nworie, who graduated with a cumulative grade point average of 4.92/5.00, is chronicled in an article shared by Michael Taiwo, a US-based Nigerian and sponsor of MT Scholarships.

Nworie had applied for the second edition of the scholarship which provides support for payment of graduate school application fees and TOEFL, GRE/GMAT — examinations required by candidates seeking admissions abroad.

According to the article, the 27-year-old lost his father to diabetes and hypertension when he was in secondary school, and since his father’s demise in 2005, life has been challenging, making it difficult for him to proceed with his education.


“He took a job teaching Mathematics to grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 at the secondary school he finished from where he had the honor of being awarded the Best Mathematics Olympiad teacher in the State. His salary was $33.33 per month,” the article reads.

“Emmanuel lives with his mom and seven siblings in a house that is not hooked to the electric grid, doesn’t have indoor plumbing, has no address, and you need to walk a mile from it to get cellular coverage. Widowed, his mom took to cultivating cassava on the land their dad left behind. She also farms other people’s lands for a return of some of the harvest. It’s the type of arrangement only people without options take.”

Taiwo narrated how Nworie saved some part of his $400 (N185,000) per year teaching job to obtain education in a polytechnic where he studied statistics.


During his one-year internship after his polytechnic studies, he took other teaching jobs and saved more money till he was able to fund his university education.

Eight years after leaving secondary school, he gained admission to the department of mathematics, faculty of physical sciences at UNN.

In his final year, he won the gold medal in the university category of the 2018 national mathematics competition. After completing his one-year mandatory national service as a teacher in a secondary school in Enugu state, Nworie was retained to teach Advanced Mathematics at the school for $77.46 (N35,000) per month.

But as the coronavirus pandemic led to the shutdown of schools and businesses, the UNN graduate was forced to return to Ebonyi where he engaged in cassava planting alongside his mother.

When the lockdown was relaxed, Nworie returned to the city to teach. It was during the period that he learnt about the MT Scholarships and decided to apply.

Taiwo quoted him as saying it would take up to seven years to save for US graduate application fees.

“If the restrictions were still in place, there is no way I would have known about this from my house in Ebonyi. I have calculated that it would take me 6 to 7 years to save for this,” he said.

The cost of applying to US graduate schools is estimated to be $1000
“And punished for what exactly? For the “crime” of being born at the wrong place at the wrong time. There was a time in Nigeria a prodigy like him would have been calling the shots, regardless of his family circumstances,” the article reads.

“In many other parts of the world today, he would be pushing the boundaries of science, adding to the commonwealth of knowledge, exploring what is possible, preaching the beauty of Math. But alas, he was born poor in Nigeria

I did not witness Buhari's regime in 83/84 or so but after reading about it in newspapers, I joined in warning people about the dangers of voting for such a man in this century. People called us tribalists and wailers in 2019 and now they are the ones wailing.

Pastor Adeboye obviously was an adult at that time, witnessed the ills of the regime, still went ahead to support Buhari again and you're here talking about Alfa this Alpha that.

My immediate family members who matter to me have never and will never have a single dosage of change medication, sorry to dash your hope.

Sai Buhari till 2050.

SMH, so only your immediate families members matters to you,
Imagine same person blaming Buhari, a typical signs of selfishness, just like many use to say , we deserve who ever govern us , cos , there is no way a despondent we rule , without you too , either directly or indirectly are not accomplice

Pastor, go and sit down.

You see this change medication, Nigerians must complete the dosage.

Wic company my friend. I av been jobless for 4 years now, doing small stuffs for survival. I studied aagricultural engineering. Can u assist me in any way

the company I based in Sagamu interchange Lagos Ibadan expressway, Well , I can't assured you of job employment because of 2 things
1.just of recent, the management due to effect of convid 19 downsized the workforce, though it's a new factory established around February last year, meaning that as time goes if things back to normal they may soon , start full time employment, so for now got to chill
2.I am also thinking of leaving, though no assurance on any job , just because it takes me away away for so long from my families, based in Ibadan, making me miss them so much

that part of " good woman will always be good woman".. made me remember, the late R&B icon , Whitney Houston, despite the trauma she went in the hands of her husband, and looking at the power the women have over there, she refused to do otherwise, just cos of the love

i have a friend whose father is a native of Akwa Ibom, while his mother is from , Akoko Edo, and my friend name is Femi, his sister is Nike , both Yoruba name , his mum decided, despite the fact that they were based in Kaduna, if truly they are not Yoruba, why naming her children Yoruba names ?.. see, majority of whatyou gave as proof, can't be justified, because even in Ondo State that shares boundaries with Edo State, majority of dialects of Akoko people doesn't sound Yoruba because of longtime distance from the source which Ife and Oyo Ile

A wall painting is the supposed evidence? How is that different from the story in the Bible?
To keep being in religion, just forget about evidence otherwise you start questioning everything. I've been there.
No specie of fish exists or existed that could swallow a whole person whole. Let's even say it happened and an alien blue whale swallowed Jonah, he would not have survived past 10 minutes without oxygen.
The way the mouth of whales (the world's largest sea creatures) is designed, swallowing an adult person is pratically impossible.

*Bode George blasts Fayose over remarks on Obaseki*

FORMER Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olabode George, has blasted former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, for saying that Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State will lose the forthcoming governorship election.

Fayose, in an interview on Plustv Africa, had said that despite being a PDP member, he will not support Governor Obaseki’s re-election bid.

However, faulting Fayose’s statement, Chief George said the former Ekiti State governor was on his own.


George said: “I find it completely unacceptable. How can a committed member who has benefited immensely from the party pitch his tenth against our own candidate in Edo State?

“I am countering such remarks by telling the people of Edo State that we, members of the PDP in the South-West, that we are in support of Obaseki. We pray for him and we will work and support him to win the election.

“PDP in the South-West and I dissociate ourselves from Fayose’s statement. He is on his own because we do not know where that is coming from.”

Pride ... Handsome guys always carry themselves high , refusing to lower their prides in choosing opposite mates for selection, while same goes for beautiful ladies.... in most cases, most handsome guys, understand that , majority of the so called beautiful ladies, evolved from a society of men that prevents them from making use of their God given brain Talents,i.e... most beautiful ladies, are mostly helped out in their task compared to the average looking ones , dues to favour men are seeking from them , thereby downplaying them from using their faculty, ultimately making them dunce and useless in perilous period
