From what I see here. This, basically is as a result students' dirty behaviours.
Could you all see that even toilet papers used and painted with human feices (shit) is not thrown away or burnt? They store these dirty things, snap it in pictures alongside the dirty wc and are painting a bad picture against the school... |

Crime does not pay. Even when you repent of certain sins and offences, the consequences may haunt or hunt you.
Don't go into crime with the intention of receiving amnesty at the end. Carma and, or waterloo may await you and the nefarious plan may fail.

Supreme145: Good day folks, I have been a visitor on nairaland for a while now so far I have really learnt a lot from here, I had to register so as to share my worries here because I know that I can get useful contributions. Please ignore my grammatical blunders,I'm not really good at writing.
I graduated from secondary school in 2010 at the age of 18 and 10 years later I seem to be moving around in circles. After secondary school I was given two options of going to the university or doing business, I chose business without thinking twice I needed money so school can wait.
Two of my uncles raised the sum of 150,000 for me after I was done learning a trade with the condition that I will pay back at the end of the year without interest. Then the ports were closed so I would travel to cotonu to buy male jeans and sold in Nigeria in wholesale. Business was moving well, I tripled my capital that same year by the age of 20 I had already counted my first million, I felt on top of the world, I spent on my family helped in paying house rent and my siblings school fees (I'm the first child), then tragedy struck.
After the second year my uncle whom I was staying with and contributed majority of my capital asked for an account of how I had been running the business which I gave him, I had already returned the other uncle's money by then. After the audit my uncle said he's going to add another money to my capital then after four years he would settle me, I refused citing that apprenticeship wasn't our agreement initially, the mother caused a big issue to the extent it had to be settled in the village. I had to leave my uncle's house to my parents since we couldn't reach a compromise, as for his capital over the years I had borrowed him money on several occasions which was already more than what he gave me as my capital, I forgot the balance and left.
Three months after I left my uncle, my goods was intercepted by customs in Benin, my agent which coincidentally happened to be that my uncle put my goods ( and that of others) in a vehicle carrying second hand tyres from Lagos to the east and everything in the vehicle was confiscated. We spent 5months trying to get the goods back spending the remaining savings I had, it was released after six months but most of the goods was either stolen or sold by customs, I got only around 10% of my seized goods back. I was back to square one.
After all my attempts to raise another capital proved abortive I gave up and started doing menial jobs to survive,my mom would always encourage me that I'm still young and would rise again. Two years after nothing tangible was fort coming, I was dead broke and depressed, I started feeling pressure at home when I couldn't bear it I relocated to port Harcourt in search of greener pastures. I slept in parks and slums till I managed to get a security job with a 15k salary then,I worked for some years and discovered that I wasn't making any progress in life,I wasn't saving anything and was still stagnant. I decided to venture into education, even though it wasn't my first choice at least I would have a certificate to be proud of after some years.
I got admission in the federal university in Benue in 2017 at the age of 25 to study statistics/computer science (bsc ed) it wasn't my choice but time was not on my side , most of my mates then had graduated and even working. My year one was hell, I resumed school with just my bag of cloths, no accommodation nor food stuffs, I slept in lecture halls and sometimes went for lectures without bathing,one time I called my dad and he said if I can't bear it I should abandon the school and come back,I later managed to get someone to squat me in the hostel, I got home during nuga break to meet the news that my dad just bought a land,so this man had money to buy land and allowed me to suffer in school ( he mind sha ).
Fast forward 3 years later and I'm stuck in 300 level not knowing what to do with my life,just being in school is not enough for me, I need to earn money because I became independent at a young age and depending on my parents now is serious giving me a cause for concern. I stayed back in school during the lockdown so I could think about my life, after reading some threads on nairaland I decided to go into programming since I had a semi abacus laptop on it's last legs,I got links to free courses on udemy and also enrolled for free courses on Alison and pirple.
Learning programming brought my joy back,I loved the critical thinking involved and realized I hated it before because of the way it was taught by our lecturers,I started with web development (HTML and CSS) and I observed I was grabbing it quit fast. Data was a problem but I managed the mid night subscription each time I manage to get airtime. I was happy once more cause I could code for hours on an empty stomach and I wouldn't care then tragedy struck again.
My system developed a fault, vertical lines appeared on the screen and it started having difficulty in booting,it finally gave up the ghost a few days later. I tried to improvise by using my phone to code but it was a horrible experience and I gave up. back to square one again,I had to go home and I haven't gotten myself ever since.
How do I break free from this poverty since I came back I have looked for job without luck, I haven't earned a dime since this year since I parted ways with my boss whom I learnt interlocking and concrete stamping under,the man was using me like a slave. Motivational speakers would say there's light at the end of the tunnel but mine looks like a maze/roundabout tunnel. I got home and yahoo is the trending stuff in the area even my younger ones has joined, my younger brother nearly picked 7million before the aza was killed in the dying minute (whatever he means by that), I seem to be the only one among my set that's still broke, I can't even remember the last time I got anything for my self, now I wear my younger brothers cloths and they recharge my phone for me,how long will I continue like this?? ..... I don't want to follow the yahoo band wagon, I'm beginning to lose hope.
Pls I need your comments and advice Because you sound genuine, I am interested in Making you an offer. Try and reach me, but better be genuine. Good luck |

Messi should have left Barca two years ago when his Career reputation was a bit still intact but rather decided to stay put because of his deluded fans that was still leading him on. When Juve lost out last week his fans came out hard on CR7 but now I believe they can eat their words and walk away with their tails in between their legs. To me I still believe CR7 is a better and more prestigious GOAT than Messi in this era!!  Cr7 scored twice in his effort to carry JUV to the semi. How much goals did Messi score last night? |

Juliearth: Your idea is splufik. However, I do not think the Nigerian Police Force is mentally ready for this kind of collaboration. An average policeman's target is not to protect lives and properties but to do that which would enrich him. But I do not want to be a pessimist in my quest to being an idealist, so I would say, let's give it try and see the dust we can raise and the fog that we can clear from this course. Thanks for your optimism. I have walked into so many police offices and even Headquarters and have discussed with senior police officers on the need for the NPF to collaborate with the civilians in achieving a peaceful and crime free society in Nigeria. This includes commissioners of Police, and they were grateful to my idea. So keep sensitizing people within your reach. I am already doing so. Remember, the only thing that makes evil to remain triumphant over good is for good people to do nothing. There are arrangements on step by step basis that will eventually lead us to the desired goal. I will reach you when I think it's right as a plan matures. |

Immanueladebol: Just did..can drop you whatsapp digits? This is rather urgent! You are not required to give any money, except you voluntarily desires to appreciate the good work they do. That however is later, not at inception. You will not buy the services of the police for this your purpose. You need to dress well and walk to the police Headquarters. Go to the commissioners office and, the desk officers you meet at the entrance, or any uniform wearing personal of the force you see there, tell him/her your plight. As that they direct you to appropriate department. I am sure they will direct you. Don't go there looking unkept. Don't wear the modern Beard, it makes you look criminal prima-facie. Appearance matters, then speak good English. The police are our friends. They are public servants. They are primarily there to serve and protect you, your properties and loved ones. The thing I detest is that people hate the police, but I tell you in full confidence, POLICE IS THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO US. THEY ARE THE BEST AMONG ALL AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT. |

Juliearth: I understand. Same fate befell me in 2018, but instead of the SARS officer in charge of tracking lost devices to help track my phone, hunku was asking for sex in exchange for helping me find my device.. I had to let go of the phone. It was painful but I had to. Can you imagine? Fine Ladies are suffering that sort of thing in recent times. Sorry please. But that is why I am of the view that we the masses show public support for and to the NPF (Nigerian Police Force). When we do that by forming an association of friends of the police. Our surface aim will be to canvass support for the members of the Police in Nigeria. However, our foundational aim will remain to establish a synergy with the force whereby it will be possible to constructively criticize the bad eggs in the police and have them change or booted out. Once again, sorry for the experience. Hope you will like a perfect reform of the Nigerian police? |

Rgade: And you expect someone that wakes to this environment everyday to be normal. Our public university hostels are all in a similar state; but the students there are consoled by the fact that the condition is transient. Max 4-5 years and they're out searching for a better life. But for these officers, this is their lives. Their daily reality. When you know you're stuck in a horrible place for probably the rest of your life,it deals with your psyche mehn. The reason our police force is so wicked, heartless,angry, unprofessional and simply bad is because of the horrible living conditions these officers are subjected to; it's a no-brainer.
