I don't know if you are being sarcastic.....or joking.

steph2sweet:
Buhari is a potential failure, nothing good can ever come out from him.

ahaika23:
KAi, I miss GEJ. Even with all the protests during his tenure you won't hear of even a scratch on civilians!

slimfit1:
General sir i think if you use that money to build hospital or health centre it would have made a lot of sense to me sha.

Blitz888:
Borrowing to finance a recurrent budget is tantamount to economic suicide...

Lord have mercy

APCcrimesHD:
Their brother buhari is finally in nau.. Mission has been accomplished... Boko Haram has finally gone to bed, with their sponsors and 'negotiators' all smiling to the bank..

But guess what!!

KARMA IS COMING!!!

In the real sense, it's quite obvious that you've either consciously or otherwise taken a shift away from the argument... When I quoted you firstly on this thread, I provided a link to another thread. Doing so, I wanted you to pick some point before argument. As much as I know,October 21st this year, CU (I decided too take CU since it's your alma mater and the oldest, perhaps) would be celebrating her annual founder's day... She'll be 16years by then. Well, after taking a stroll into the Labour Market, I discovered a few things (I decided not to use the political example, since you might wish to use age to dodge such points) viz:
1. That, the tech world and the under 30 CEOs are dominated by Graduates of public universities.. Take a look at the founder of Nairaland, Linda Ikeji, The Jobberman Trio, cofounder of e-commerce site, Konga and dealdey, to mention but a few; they all graduated from public Universities or schools overseas (Except Sim Sagaya of Kings).
2. We've always seen news and dailies always showing us Students from Nigeria who break grounds. We're still waiting for Nigerian private university students to make us proud.
3. The Iroko programming competition was won last year by a public Uni student and has been so for a while now. With all the facilities, don't they teach quality programming at CU? Or why should students from those dilapidated schools always clinch the prize??
4. In 2013/2014, the University of Ilorin in a National Maths conference held at Abuja clinched the winning prize ... Well, maybe they don't offer maths at CU. Just recently, the pat utomi prize for debate was clinched by two UI students and a UNN student. Where are the orators of BU and CU? Its open to all students mind you. Also, The ANUC interuniversity Competition was championed by Unilorin, a public Uni. No private school came first second or even third. Why? To essayists, we all know of the popular CIPMN essay competition open to all Nigerian students.. Unilorin, Unilag and UNN students have excellently turned this to a household award, why? Don't CU students write?
I can go on and on, if you so please. Now, consider this:


The fact that education is expensive is a very beautiful quote if and only if the products of such an educational system are well represented. Look at the products of MIT.. Who dares says expensive education isn't good? Those in Harvard. Look at Gates, Mack Zuckerberg, Larry page and sergey brin (cofounders of Google Inc.), Evan Spiegel (cofounder of Snap chat); the Winklevoss brothers, Sean parker, Eduardo Saverin, etc.,; with their world class products, who dares say expensive education is bad? Nobody! Their tuition fees have been transformed into meaningful stuffs. But, here, the reverse is the case. The "poorly funded" schools are the ones doing exploits... What is Education without valuable impacts on the society? Is it all about paying 700k+?
It is not education if it's not "productive to the society and product oriented.
Please bro, before you refute my claims, Use Google. Thanks.

saintikechi:
Use your tongue to count your teeth. If little countries like sao tome, togo and even malawi don't have fuel scarcity, and they have uninterrupted power supply, why can't the giant of africa have the same? Do these little countries not use forex? Do these little countries not import fuel? They keep giving you analysis, only to further confuse you. Bros the problem is "incompetent leadership, bad administrators and a globe trotting president who does not even know what the masses are are going through. They keep padding the budget, hoarding the forex and blaming every thing on Gej. What a shame.

dulux07:
Some were rejected based on population and too much politics in public schools not academic merits. And those sent away from private sch join the public.
Do ur research well, most well to do parents dont even attempt public schs, they either send them to a private or abroad.

ReverseEngineer:
You sound like who never went to either a public or private school. Very poorly constructed sentence. God Help you.

eazzzy1:
After graduating with a second class lower from Uniosun ( It was based on silly errors in result compilations), I went to do a post graduate diploma at Humber college Canada and i made a CGPA of 3.7/4. Fact is that i did not study as hard as i did when i was in Nigeria. I am sure I would have made an equally great grade if i had studied in a private institution like CU.

Moral of the story is that government owned institutions has failed Nigeria students. I had a very brilliant friend that had an extra year for fault that were not his. If my children were to school in Nigeria, non will go to a public school. Education is not meant to be difficult as this people make it. Imagine having to cram about 13 formulas for a statistics exam ending by 12pm and you have economics by 2pm that requires further cramming of formulas, when schools abroad will give you the formulas to use. As if any one uses those formulas in real life situations.

I will choose CU (only private school i trust) over any other school in Nigeria.

greatgod2012:
Anybody who complaints about private school's high fees is either biased or too poor to afford the payment. For God's sake, it's private investment, and the owner deserves befitting returns from his investment, hence, their high fees. Also, it's not interfered nor assisted by the govt, so, they have to look for ways to have their needs met, ranging from maintenance of the school and payment of their staffs.


If one
can afford it, it's OK, if one can't, public schools are there, they are also OK. But it's not good to badmouth the private universities because of their high fees, nobody is forced to attend.

keyzid:
Well, most private Uni students are rejected ones from Admission processes in Fed and some sate unis. That's why we don't take their Firstclass claims serious. Who dem epp

erico2k2:
why would I answer your questions when you ignored mine?
Answer mine first then i can give you a very comprehensive answer to all of your questions inclusive of ones you aint thought of asking yet.
I threw a challenge to all you APC supporters,
I asked just one question
NAME ONE PERSON IN POWER TODAY WHO WAS NOT IN POWER THE LAST 30 YEARS.
Thats the only question i asked, you are here asking irrelevant question to the subject matta.

erico2k2:
I see u got it in for GEJ,
did U see the amount PMB borrowed in 10 months?
the so called Dansuki is beginning to be a myth, cos PMB has bought no equipment for the NA, its the ones bought by the dansuki gate that is still being used.

saintikechi:
Nonsense. Forex scarcity my blockus . Keep believing these lies APC feeds you. The problem is bad leadership, this incompetent dullard you and your likes put in aso rock has so far shown us that he is indeed clueless and knows nothing about governance. Look at cameroun, look at gabon, even ivory coast they don't experience fuel scarcity and they have steady power supply. Why must this clueless government continue to give us excuses instead of results? Forex is not the problem. Stop believing their lies, the problem is bad administration.

madmadu:
please, this is an issue that has been bothering me since this administration has been playing with the 2016 budget.
how have they been sponsoring the military against boko haram, especially now that 'they say' they are 'winning' the war against boko haram.
I thought they said GEJ didnt buy weapons, and then later that the weapons he bought are substandard. all the pictures I have been seeing on social media, especially the recent one of that crazy helicopter with the heavy gun attached to it (cant remember the name). was it recently acquired? if so, with which money? the one that has not yet been approved??
please, I have not 'yabbed' anybody, these are just questions bothering me. anyone with answers should please help me out. thank you

erico2k2:
can we keep this records if we may
Nigerian External Debt...
2010 = $6.8billion [Yaradua added $3.6billion in 3years.]
2015 = $9.4billion [Jonathan added $2.6Billion in 5years]
2016 = $12.9billion [Buhari added $3.5Billion in 10months]. Excluding the $2billion loan coming from China and $2.5 from Islamic Bank. Who is more prudent?

Oghumu1:
Please is it advisable for someone to go without being invited? But have all required documents.

booqee:
I keep wondering why did God even create the tree of life in the garden of Eden in the first place if He didn't want man to sin..

Some say its intentional... if it is, why was He so displeased to the extent of placing a curse on them...

He created us as man.. not as gods or heavenly creatures.. so of course he was easy and prone to falling for temptation.. so I assumed He knew from the start while creating him, that man would fall by eating the forbidden fruit...

so why bother creating it and then cursing man when it is believed He knew he would fall.. (that's the part that makes it look unfair) .. its similar to setting a concealed trap right in front of us..


I'm confused honestly ..hi

contributions are welcome

Flexherbal:
Is there a state where you can enjoy steady power supply in Nigeria?

erico2k2:
Same thing he did wen he ruled during the 80's. Nothing changed.

blezynetym:
my question is are you happy ?

Gboliwe:
See the complete veer off what is being discussed.

That Lagos state recruits tailors to fix hair braids on women doesn't make it the standard or the right thing to do. And if there is a wrong impression, doesn't common sense also tell you there is a "right" one?

And just for the records, I at no time mentioned/talked about viewing people who have a different view from me as retarded.
Continue!

EMriss:
Hello can i make use of neco statement of result from my school??

ayzTIGER:
The only thing this APC government know is corruption. Buhari your the minister of petroleum why is there fuel scarcity all over the country? Buhari will say corruption... The budget you submitted to the NASS is highly padded why? Buhari said its because of corruption... Buhari why have you been unable to put in place what you promised Nigerians? Buhari will be like 16yrs of PDP is highly corrupt... Buhari why have you been on air more than in your office since your administration... Buhari will be like you know PDP is corrupt so im travelling on behalf of them what they should have travelled the past 16yrs. Tell them the truth that this administration is insensitive, visionless, directionless and khakistocratic they will say your corrupt.
Your fighting corruption yet things are going from bad to worse...

iyb:
If it will keep them from becoming Ashewo and runs girls I prefer them timid and primitive and for ur information my sisters are well educated career women
My sister is the first doctor in Northern Nigeria another on of mine is the first female permanent secretary in the north there is just a line they cannot cross.
We prefer the north to be behind that way we can always laugh at the immorality of southerners.
It surprises me when I hear southerners saying the north is behind go and look at ur society and see then you will know that it is you who deluded himself with an illusion of grandeur while the reality is case worthy of tears

MarieSucre:
What are you talking about? Throwing about terms like "inbred stereotype". Is it a stereotype when it is fact. Its just like saying Yoruba's like to eat amala. Is that a stereotype. Something is happening on ground in Kano. Even you acknowledge it. So where is the stereotype? You said it has been going in for a long time. So my issue is why are you defending it instead if condemning it.

MarieSucre:
Exactly I am ashamed of it. You're just making my point because now I'll proceed to correct myself and not make silly excuses about how "we are Nigerian not British blah blah blah".
