Abeg, make una remind me which Governor go buy coach for Canada?........
The governor that borrowed over $700 million dollars with nothing to show for it, despite the huge IGR of the state. Now the state is nearing a debt profile of $2billion and yet, still looks like a glorified village. When people say Lagos is working, i just laugh at their gullibility. We have the Rich man's Lagos which is private sector-driven and the shouting Lagos.

Don't forget LASG got refunds for federal road projects carried out. I wait the day, the LASG financial books will be audited.

Competitions are high these days, depending on the university of your choice, you'll need minimum of 75% CGPA. For the top schools, may be 80% and above. University of Tromso accepts First Class Student only (for some courses am aware of). It will do no harm to send mail to the corresponding universities.

Its obvious you have a problem of comprehension. Not everyone who stands to checkmate their Leaders or those appointed into positions of authority should be tagged an opposition. This is not a referendum on whether Buhari should be voted for or against. It is an assessment of his campaign promises which carries no iota of bitterness in it as you've psotulated yourself to be.
Stalwert:
PDP lies will always leave out how they destroyed and left Nigeria for dead. They leave out how aboubakar Al camerooni + Obj dashed out a whole territory of Bakassi to cameroon and did little to settle it's Indigenes. They left out how they close many government businesses and left it's workers without pay.

Politics62 Failed 2015 Campaign Promises Of Muhammadu Buhari by oakslid(op): 7:04pm On Feb 03, 2019
When President Muhammadu Buhari was campaigning for the 2015 general elections, he and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) made several promises to the electorates.

The manifesto and campaign materials which contained all the party’s promises were made available to the media and the public at the time.

PoliticsRe: Ambode Dumps His APC ID Card, Makes Himself Unreachable To The Party Chairman. V by oakslid: 10:00am On Oct 01, 2018
seborrhic:
After the tantrums of yesterday and then official endorsement of Sanwo Olu,the Ambode situation may turn out to be a tricky one and the literary "bone in the neck situation",for the APC.
Here is a governor,rejected for a second term and very angry and going nuts about the decision,who still has 8months to serve as the executive governor.
From the press conference of yesterday,its clear Ambode has the character of one who is so angry and boiling that he is ready to do anything to throw as many people down the bus with him,as his executive powers will allow.
The option for APC now is to look at the option of impeaching him because his next move and the damage effect maybe unpredictable.
Impeaching however also has an unpredictable outcome.
APC is in a quagmire here and a tricky few months ahead of it in Lagos state.
One what grounds was he rejected... you cannot move that under the carpet. The APC is creating a bad precedent with this situation cos if the party succeed to in eliminating Ambode, his successor is at the mercy of the king makers and not the masses. This will be proper controlling. JIMI AGBAJE 4 GOVERNOR
PoliticsRe: Ambode Dumps His APC ID Card, Makes Himself Unreachable To The Party Chairman. V by oakslid: 9:54am On Oct 01, 2018
The video only surfaced because Ambode accused the party exco of disenfranchising him in the early scheduled primaries for today. For crying out loud, this man is supposed to be the leader of the party in the state as it is with every other governor in Nigeria. Even the shape of the card depicts something that has been cut just a few minutes to the production of the video. Nigerians need to say no to Godfatherism

Alesund is a actually cool campus and the city is arguably the most beautiful in Norway. It just got merged with NTNU this Spring. I once applied to Aalesund university college for Nanotechnology.

That aside, you should make your decision based on Interest (course). Simulation and Visualization is actually a tricky course. You'll definitely need some programming experience to take the course.

Moreover a common man undergoes this each and every day so I don't know why a common man would lend it's voice for the elites who cares less about them and most importantly rape the economy blind without conscience.
There is no such thing as Total Freedom (there are boundaries/limits), if there is anything of such then it will be a case of what is called "ideal machines" which is not realistic. Once you pass your boundary, there will be reaction.
