Op should stop deceiving n misleading people. Cars in the uk are right hand drives, why will amaechi be driving a left hand drive in uk.

It only proves that his boy boy driving skills is continential, He is boy boy in Abuja, boy boy in london, boyboy in lagos etc etc.

Purehuman:
After voting him out, he should be sent to a psychiatric hospital, because he's deranged right now.

By then his psychiatric problems or lack there of will not be rivers state concern but his personal and family issue. Less than 2 months left!

[size=14pt]APC propaganda busted, The lady in the picture holding a Buhari Osibanjo poster were the few Buhari supporters that came out to support buhari. But were crowded out by the Anti- buhari group, when they could not succeed to silence the crowd the resorted to making the propaganda video to disparage the Anti buhari group by interviewing themselves and pretending to be interviewing the Anti buhari group.
Now look at the lady she is the same person being interviewed. but its obvious she is a buhari supporter. [/size]

Purehuman:
A governor who has about 8million people to govern left his state to go to UK.
The funniest part isn't leaving his state to go to UK, but to be an errand boy instead of being an elite associate of Buhari.

This is a clarion call to all Rivers state people, you people need to lock your governor in his room before he sells you people to Bokoharam.

No need to lock him , Just vote APC out of Rivers state simple. By June 2015 APC will be an anathema in Rivers state.

[size=20pt]Once a PA to Oga, always A PA. Thats amaechi's story. boy boy for life.Even as a governor he is yet to shake his man-friday mentality[/size]

Thank you.

Senatorlabe:
na wa for dis our country ooo. more universities? what of more jobs? all this is trash create jobs not universities

Universities create jobs! Where do professors/Academic work?

samguru:
Opening more universities does not make any sense to me rather it will continue to deplete the values our existing institutions have. Ask me why?
Because the newly established universities will be well funded and the existing ones will continue to have the challenge of funding.
Take a look at the happenings in the secondary education segment where private schools pouch competent hands from public schools and leave the mediocre to in the public secondary school.e.g compare queens college to lekki british high school.

Govt should stop granting licenses for cheap public commendations and look for a way to upgrade our public universities to world class

Contrary to your opinion, More University will bring competition in the university education market, thereby making everyone to sit up in offering the best services in other to attract students. Both the public and private university will sit up and seek to do better if they want to still be a major player in the University education space and able to attract students.

nora544:
I have no proble mbut hosw many nigerians can go to this private universities it is for the rich but build with the money from the poor also and that is not like it should be.

Private universities the world over are expensive and only the rich can attend, But the caveat is that they also have better facilities, better management and usually Offer more scholarships than private universities.
Nigeria in my Opinion is already saturated with Public universities all state under GEJ now have atleast one federal university and serious states also have their own state universities. Its time for more private universities.

Its a win win for Nigerian Youths, Both Public and private universities will now compete for student by offering better services, when there is competition among the universities the students will win.

Rich students who are occupying space in public universities will begin to migrate over to private uni. to be with their fellow rich students thereby freeing more admission space for poor students in the public universities.

seunwen2:
[size=32pt]Time to dust CV GEJ working but i will still vote Buhari [/size]

You should ask yourself how many universities did buhari build when he was president? jonathan has built 13 FG universities and approved 9 Private ones in the space of just 5 yrs. Be honest with your self and leave sentiment aside Jonathan is the best candidate among the poll of aspirants we have now.

For those Who are concerned about the high Fees that private university charge: Here is a food for thought, Private Universities worldwide are more expensive than public universities and on the average better managed and has better facilities than public universities.

The High fees charged by private universities will make both Parents/guardian and Students ponder their career paths/ courses more seriously! No parent or student is going to want to spend say 500K tuition to study philosophy, history, english language etc without pondering what career such discipline will led to.

No Parent or student is going to pay high tuition to get to a private university to Join secret cult, become a political thug, or not study hard to make good grades etc.

Building private universities that have facilities that match those available abroad will help save our country forex exchange. 90% of students in private universities like covenant etc would have been heading to universities abroad thereby taking all that tution money abroad to create jobs for lectures in foreign countries while our prof. at home are unemployed.

My vote is for more Private Universities with NUC regulation for standardization and My Vote is for GEJ till 2019,I Like what he is doing in transport,Education, Agriculture, industries, and more recently how he is funding the Military which is turning the tide against Boko Haram etc

God bless Nigeria
God bless GEJ

nora544:
so now every business pastor need an UNiversity

what I can tell you is that American universities pay agent much money that they get students for them so it is not all okay with the education in america, only the few wit ha good name don't need this.

Why buils more Universities when there are no jobs

Who will pay the schoolfee not the poor nigerians

NOst of this church Universities are build wit h the tithe from the poor followers and the kids from them they have to go to the othee Universities because the parents didnot have the money because they have to tithe and give first fruit that the pastor can enrich himself and build his own empire

Would you rather have them pocket the tithes, than use it to add value to our youths via education?

lolaxavier:
Chaii...Nigeria don finish...all dis ones na school or beer parlor. Imagine Michael and Cecilia...

Can you imgine what those schools will look like in 5 to 10 yrs? they are just starting and yet they have better facilities than most state and federal universities. Truth be told we need more Private Universities and Industries not Government.

Hitunnu:
What's the essence of private Uni. State and Federal uni are not well managed. We that graduated from private uni. No job. Rubbish

Private investments are better managed than Government ones. All the best universites in the US the IVY leagues are privately owned.

9 New Universities = 9 centres for employments, Teaching and Non- teaching staff, it takes a large staff strength to run a university.
The economic impact that these will have in the host communities as students will bring growth and development to their host communities and add value to those communities.
It is a win win for the country as it will also help to raise the standard of living in Nigeria via more educated citizenry.
But i would have loved to see more equitable distribution of the private universities in Nigeria, The North Needs more of the Universities than the south and there are more uneducated youth in the North with respect to the south.

There are more Crude oil well owning Billionaires and Millionaires in the North than in the South, Why are these oil billionaires in the North not investing in building Universities in the North?

[size=20pt]Jonathan is working Gej Till 2019 [/size]

Meringe:
Are these private secondary school or university?


Funny names and promoters.
Michael and Cecilia ibru university, so funny.


Though I'm a product of foremost private university but I think FG shouldn't abuse this by giving all tom n Jerry this prestigious license.

It will be abused soon that we can't even Remember names of private universities in Nigeria.

private secondary schools/colleges can convert to universities. Nigeria needs more private participation in educational development. The NUC will regulate these universities and ensure that they are standardized.
These is a good initiative. We need more licences for private universities and industries in Nigeria. All the Ivy league universities in the US are privately run and owned.

Obiagelli:
Ogun state and universities, imagine close to 20 higher institutions in one state

they are trying to replace Ekiti as the bastion of yoruba Education. Now APC is Calling Ekiti the Bastion Of stomach infrastructure as opposed to the bastion of education it once was!

RoyalPriesthuud:
Firstly, what you said is wrong. I don't have the facts to rebutt the Lagos and rivers projects but seeing your obvious display of sheer ignorance and arrant political bigotry makes me absolutely sure you just 'spark'.

You attacked Lag and rivers(just lyk many other pro-PDP) because u perceived it to be APC's strongholds. Many says Fashola is exceptional and allege Amaechi of being APC's cash cow. Let's stop playing politics of hate. All we want is a better Nigeria.

How can you compare the Federal government's projects with those of states. Those projects u said were completed by PDP are FG projects if u don't knw. You knw how much tax being paid in the whole country a day? Do u knw how much barrels of oil we sell per day? Not to mention other sources.

And for your info and d one I know for sure, Aregbesola commisioned a railway project during his first time in office. To help goods nd pple movement to and from Lagos to oshogbo. GEJ's train and Osun's train aint different at all.


Let's face it my dear, we are being shortchanged. Those projects up there are in million dollars not billions o. GEJ has his own good sides too, bt it's far below average and it's what every other man who comes to power will do.


I really hope we all look at things as a Nigerian and not as a political supporter/affiliate.


I have high hopes u've gotten my points

The underlined shows how ignorant you are, stop projecting your ignorance on me. i speak with facts not rumours. OSUN state under rauf is yet to tar a single km of road to international Standard not to talk of embarking on a rail project.

Lagos and Port harcourt has revenue and GDP thats higher than that of many african countries including ethiopia hence the comparison.and they also feature in my radar because they are the only state that has rail projects ongoing and they have sofar each spent more on their projects which are of lesser scope and quality than Addis Ababa light rail. the difference being Ethiopian train are running while the rivers, and lagos rail are sinkholes for corrupt politician to steal from their state treasuries with no completion date in sight.

If you knew how to read with comprehension, you would have also noticed that Abuja Light rail An FG project also featured in my critic.

Its a sad commentary of Nigeria. Abuja,lagos and port-harcourt specifically.
