Boycotting Nigerian Universities can only begin to happen when they no longer get Federal Allocation as a norm. A university's allocation, beyond the base figures, should be dependent on the number of students enrolled.
The Universities that are great will get a greater share of Student enrolment. In any decent society, this university will suffer from low enrolment on account to her terrible attitude.
One day!

lecowas:
Such stupid universities should be boycotted, they are supposed to build student's future not to destroy it, unfortunately most stupid Nigerian universities do the same. Nonsense

Sadly, the conspiracy theorist in me suggest that might not be his first rodeo. I also subscribe to the view that isn't the first time that opposition figures could/would have done this.

Mr El-Rufai ought to have known that the Nigeria of 2013/2014/2015 is gone.

Anyways, give him day in court. He is innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law.

Shi ke na !

Richtaiwo:
There really should be limits to what you should do, no matter what you are paid.

El-Rufai went on national television, calmly and voluntarily, to admit his complicity in intercepting the NSA’s phone conversation. No pressure, no coercion, and, one hopes, no hallucinations either.

Meanwhile, the Army has lost personnel and equipment to ambushes by bandits and insurgents, the same tragedy you endlessly scream about while marketing your favourite political product.

Yet today, you claim there’s a grand hunt to “nail” El-Rufai.

This is a sad development, from every angle!

I am happy that as sitting AGF, Malami (SAN) couldn't come up with any corruption or alleged theft against Walter Onnoghen (CJN).

I refuse to buy into the position that these things happen turn by turn. Evil is evil, simply put!

Malami over reached, and stepped on a lot of toes. That he, as a lawyer, could connive with professional politicians to disgrace a revered JSC is my main grouse with him!

Meanwhile, let the Rule of Law prevail! He must not be treated the way he treated others.

The United States was bogged down in Vietnam. For which the UK, and the Nigerian military are forever grateful.
If they had backed Biafra, there would have been only one outcome: A divided Nigeria.

Abuse of Court Process!

Forum shopping !

Shameless government officials.

Sweden is a strange country in many ways, and a beautiful place to live/school/work as well.

The Swedes pride themselves on the efficiency of their system. And, you cannot blame them. They make the UK and US look like non-starters.

About your brother, try and be patient. To get an appointment at the government office that handles work related matter isn't easy. And, you don't turn up to their office without an appointment.

The Skatteverket can take up 18 weeks to process applications for a Personal Number, I'm extreme cases.

And without a Personal Number, no one gives you a job in Sweden. Now, you can dive into the Black Market. But, you are risking deportation, and near slave like conditions and treatment from your fellow Migrants.

Nigerians lack patience, and that is our greatest national handicap.

Good luck to your brother!



PS:
Sweden is a beautiful and organized country. I wish your brother the very best!

Honestly, I pity the kids writing WAEC/NECO.
We teach them to tell lies, when it comes to the arms of government and their functions.

Hello OP
Please, where precisely is it sited?

Awkabigboy:
i have passed through this mountainous place in Edda on my way to Ohafia in Abia state. This bridge is well needed. It will prevent the accidents on the top of that hill. Infact Abia people stand to benefit as much as Ebonyi people because it will make going to Abribra, Ohafia and Arochukwu to either calabar or Enugu easier

Where do you suppose our politicians, civil servants and others are drawn from?

hefexzy:
Sylvester Omoroni was a victim of bully in his school Dowen college, which resulted to him losing his life after sustaining internal injuries from the bully. His family had went ahead to employ the service of Mr Femi Falana, a Lawyer.

On December 9 during a space Kemi Olunloyo hosted on twitter, the renowned self acclaimed journalist said 12 years old Sylvester was willing to join cult, agreed to be beating and also accepted to drink engine oil.

Kemi also went ahead to say he willingly told the guys initiating him that he has seen his sisters unclothedness. She also compared boarding school to Big Brother Naija.

Ever since she made that statement, she is been dragged on all social platform. Some people called her demented, some called her callous, some said she has been paid to say that, other people called her an insensitive mother.

You don't want to ask that kind of question. He is a true giant.

This is what www.thenigerianlawyer.com has to say about this titan:

ABOUT REVEREND .FATHER.DR. E.S.C. OBIORAH, SAN,
Rev. Fr. Dr. Edwin Sunday Chukwujekwu Obiorah popularly known as Edwin Obiorah is a Priest of the Roman Catholic Church and a Lawyer of very high repute. He was born on June 26, 1955 to Chief Timothy Obiorah Anakudo and Mrs. Esther Obiorah Anakudo. Edwin Obiorah is a native of Igbuala Village, Ifite-Ukpo(Ifitedunu) in Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria.
EARLY EDUCATION
Edwin Obiorah had his early Education at St. Simon?s Catholic School, Ukpo, in Anambra State. His early Education was however interrupted by the Nigerian/Biafran War in 1967.
In 1968, Edwin Obiorah was miraculously saved from being bombed by one of the Nigerian bomber crafts. This was when he was taken to Awkuzu refugee medical centre at St. Raphael?s Catholic, Awkuzu due to illness and a bomb was dropped on their building barely minutes after he left his bed.
In June 1968, he was lucky to be among those children included by the then Biafran Government to travel to Gabon for Medical treatment. When he got to Libreville, Gabon, he was selected to go to the city of Mouila, Gabon to continue his Primary Education. At Moila, he found favour with the Bishop of the Diocese of Mouila called Raymond De La Mourere who took the young Edwin Obiorah to Suborn in Paris, France to continue his primary Education.
It is worthy to note that in France, Edwin Obiorah was the only black boy serving Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral Parish. It was while there that his call and vocation to the priesthood was born.
However, in 1970, Edwin Obiorah returned to Nigeria and in 1971, he completed his Primary Education at St. Gabriel?s Primary School, Ifite-Ukpo, Anambra State. In January 1972, Edwin Obiorah was admitted as one of the pioneer students of St. Paul?s Seminary, Umunuko, Ukpor. From there, he entered into All Hallows Seminary, Onitsha in 1973. In 1976, he obtained his West African School Certificate(WASC) and G.C.E. O?level with straight A?s in all nine subjects.
His outstanding results made the then ArchBishop of Onitsha, now Francis Cardinal Arinze to appoint Edwin Obiorah as the first formative teacher of the Brothers of St. Stephen, at Holy Trinity Onitsha. He also doubled as a bursar for the Archbishop?s household.
In 1977, Edwin Obiorah?s outstanding performance at his O?levels, prompted his cousin to obtain admission for him to study Law at the University of Nigeria but the young Edwin Obiorah rejected the offer of admission as his heart was yearning to fulfil his primary call which was to the Priestly vocation.
PRIESTLY VOCATION
In 1978, in other to assist him in achieving his dream of becoming a priest, the Archbishop of Onitsha, now Francis Cardinal Arinze sent Edwin Obiorah to Bigard Memorial Seminary, Ikot-Ekpene, an affiliate of Urban University, Rome to obtain his Philosophical Studies. In 1981, he obtained his Bachelor of Philosophy Degree with a Second Class Honours, Upper Division.
Furthermore, in 1982, in pursuit of his dreams, Edwin Obiorah was admitted into Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu, another affiliate of Urban University, Rome for his Theological course. In December of that year, he was admitted into the Ministry of a lector. In December 1983, he received the Ministry of Acolyte. Thereafter in December of 1984, he was ordained a Deacon. In June 1985, Edwin Obiorah received his Bachelor of Divinity Degree with a First Class Honours. He distinguished himself as he was the first of two candidates to get a First Class Honours in 1985.
Edwin Obiorah?s dream of becoming a Priest became reality when on November 16, 1985, he was ordained a Priest of the Roman Catholic Church by his Excellency, Most Rev. Dr. Albert K. Obiefuna(Deceased), the then Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Awka, Anambra State.
On November, 16, 2010, Edwin Obiorah celebrated his Silver Jubilee as a Priest and the Occasion was well attended by notable individuals in Anambra State and Nigeria as a whole.
After his ordination, he was posted first to St. Mary?s Catholic Church, Ufuma, Anambra State where he imparted positively on the lives of his parishioners. He has also ministered in Sacred Heart Parish, Uwani Enugu, St. Paul’s Catholic Church, Ebute Meta, Lagos, Our Lady of Assumption Church Falomo, Ikoyi, Lagos, Vicar of Dedan Barrack and Bonny Camp, Ikoyi Lagos, Our Lady of the Lake Cluther Parishes, Newyork, St. Alphonsus Church, Auburn, Newyork.
LEGAL CAREER
In 1987, the Catholic Bishop of Awka, Most Rev. Dr. Albert K. Obiefuna(Deceased) sent Edwin Obiorah to go and study Law in other to defend the poor and oppressed. This he did at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus(UNEC) where he graduated in 1990 with an LL.B Degree in Law and was subsequently called to the Nigerian Bar in 1991 with a B.L. coming out with Second Class Upper Division in both instances.. It is worthy to note at this point that Edwin Obiorah has always been outstanding in whatever he set his heart to. He is a born scholar.
While stuying Law, Edwin Obiorah also did a Post Graduate Course in Education at the Anambra State University of Technology, Enugu, Nigeria where he was awarded a Post Graduate Diploma in Education(PGDE) in 1989.
He went further in 1992 to obtain his Masters in Law(LL.M) at the University of Lagos where he specialized in Land Law and Securities.
In 1994, Edwin Obiorah was admitted to continue his graduate studies in Law by an Ivy League University abroad by name Cornell University, Ithaca Newyork.
Before beginning his studies at Cornell, Edwin Obiorah went and obtained a Diploma in International Law and Jurisprudence from the famous University of Paris, Suborn, Paris. From there he proceeded to Cornell University.
In 1995, he was awarded an LL.M Degree from Cornell University after an outstanding performance.
At Cornell University, it was an established principle that candidates could not apply to be admitted into the prestigious Doctor of Juristic Science(J.S.D) being offered by the school as every three years, the school usually chooses one of its past outstanding graduate students and recommend same to the graduate school of the University for acceptance into the J.S.D Professional study and research program.
In 1995, Cornell Law School recommended Edwin Obiorah to Cornell Graduate School for him to proceed with the J.S.D. degree program. In addition, the school awarded him a tuition scholarship of Forty-five thousand US dollars.
That same year, Edwin Obiorah became a fellow of Cornell Institute of African Development.
In December 1996, after distinguishing himself by completing with distinction the academic and professional requirements for the award of the much-coveted degree, Edwin Obiorah defended his dissertation titled?ECO-JUSTICE: A New Paradigm in Environmental Jurisprudence.?
The duration for this program was a minimum of three years but for the first time in its history, a time waiver was given to Edwin and he was able to defend his work.
In 1997, Cornell University conferred on Edwin Obiorah the rare degree of Doctor of Juristic Science(J.S.D.) and he became the first African to obtain the degree from Cornell University and the 19th person to receive the honour from the University since its establishment in the 18thcentury.
Edwin Obiorah became the first person to formulate the principles of Eco-Justice which states in a nutshell that? right and life are autochthonous?. According to his work, every living creature has the inalienable? right to try to survive? a right which nature compels every non-human creature to obey in its ecosystem. Because of its originality and innovation, the monumental work was published by the United States Government in the library of congress and the book is for sale at Amazon- the world’s greatest online shop.
ACHIEVEMENTS
With six degrees and three diplomas under his belt, Edwin Obiorah actually began his legal career in 1992 when he attached himself with Chief Nwazojie SAN, the former Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation. He gained his initial reputation as a trial lawyer when he was representing the Federal Government in the 1990 census litigation. It was in the course of that case that Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation(NNPC)?s Secretary General observed him in court and instantly gave him six very contentious cases.
After a brief appointment as an associate professor at Cornell University, Edwin Obiorah got a position as an associate counsel at Harris & Wilcox in Rochester Newyork, the most respected law office in upstate Newyork ? a firm with 250 practicing lawyers. He later became in charge of international litigation and was the only black attorney in the reputed firm.
Edwin Obiorah was appointed to the bench as a Judge in Newyork but the Bishop of Rochester and the Catholic Bishop of Awka rejected the position as being incompatible with his vocation as a priest.
From 1998 to 2004, Edwin Obiorah was the legal adviser to the Catholic Diocese of Rochester in immigration matters. He was also the first black legal adviser and board attorney to the crime stoppers of greater Rochester, Newyork.
In 2004, the Bishop of Awka Diocese recalled him back to Nigeria and he founded what is today known as Equity Law Office, Awka in Anambra State – one of the biggest and busiest law offices in south Eastern Nigeria. He founded the office to address the plight of the poor and oppressed and so far he has brought solace to so many families and the state as a whole.
Rev.Fr.Dr. E.S.C. Obiorah has also been involved in the development of the law as he has done some very contentious cases in which even the Supreme Court has made pronouncements on.
Chief amongst the cases he did is on the issue of whether an accused person is entitled to all the facilities needed for him to have a fair trial. The matter went from the magistrate to the high court to the court of Appeal and finally got to the Supreme Court where the Supreme Court in a fully constituted panel did justice to the issue and gave a land mark decision on the point.
Another important case he did that also bother on fundamental human rights was on the repugnant Awka tradition of forcing women not to perform the dust to dust ceremony of their late husbands with the punishment of ostracizing them. The high court in Awka, also gave a landmark decision on that point.
Fr. Edwin Obiorah has been listed in many international directories of ?Who is Who? in the legal profession. He has been listed as a life member in Strathmore?s ?Who is Who and the Global Directory of ?Who is Who?.
He is a member of the Nigerian Bar Association, the Newyork Bar Association, the American Bar Association and International Bar Association. He was called to the Newyork Bar in 1996. And he has practiced in both the US and Nigerian Court of Appeals and Supreme Courts.
In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Nigerian Biography has deemed it fit to dedicate a page for his biography for the world to see.

Your questions suggest that you are clearly lacking in the knowledge of the rudiments of a Democratic era. The mentality you are exhibiting is reminiscent of the colonial era, an era that our dark days of military rule re-enacted.

Chapii:
I am not and can never be a Fan of Tinubu, Lai or Buhari and I agree largely with the report of the Panel but the entire reportage is not balanced.

The government of the day LASG and FG (largely IG of Police) did not manage the entire EndSars protest professionally. The brute force that was used to disperse the protest at Lekki toll gate was the only option left for the Government at that point in time and these are my reasons.
1. Why is nobody reporting that the government allowed the protest to last for over 2 weeks in lagos, Abuja and several other cities meaning that the govt. recognizes the right to protest.
2. Why is nobody talking about how the protest at the toll gate gave birth to many other protest sites in several parts of lagos was making normal life unbearable for other citizens due to road blocks and all.
3. Why is nobody talking about how the protest have degenerated into a crisis situation with prison break, burning of Police stations, killing of police men, looting and destruction etc. As at 7pm of 20.10.20, over 30 police stations in Lagos was on fire and several policemen killed.
Last but not the least, the people that were at the lekki toll gate protest venue at the time of arrival of the military cannot be said to be law abiding. They were defying a government imposed curfew which is to take effect by 4pm that day.
Citizens have all right to protest but the government should also be up and doing in managing the overall security situation in the communities. My 2 cents

This must be a sick joke.

In our patriotism, lets be real and honest. If that vehicle has a Diplomatic Number, no uniformed man or woman, not even the 'almighty' DSS can search it. They are not even allowed to step into the car.

Diplomatic staff with full immunity are a difficult lot. All of them, irrespective of race, or nationality

Nigeriadondie:
That is the inferiority complex of the average black man who gives preferential treatment to whites.
You can imagine a black “bloody civilian” doing that to a soldier. It is either they flog him with koboko, brutalize him and even smash his windscreen if he dare not come down at the soldiers command.
U can see the uselessness of all our force men who have no regard for the average citizens but want to bootlick a white foreigner.

kress2m1:
I heard that this snake can be very placid and rarely strikes out at humans, and that it can also be handled with care.

But, the warning was that it should simply be avoided due to the fact that when it bites, it doesn't immediately let go and injects the largest quantity of venom of any snake into its victim. Anti-venom is also said to be in short supply in hospitals.

So, in light of the above reasons and our inability to safely relocate, cutlass had to say hello to its head.

Lala, no vex
