Thats our fearless hero, Bubu is president of the North, Boko haram and Zombies, Fayose is our president that we know.

Crispels:
Am a student from the best University in the South East. I study History and International Studies. Am in my third year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face.

In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board.

In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1. I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al.

More so, I already received a certificate of honour from the University authorities for my leadership qualities and contributions.

However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded.

I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other.

I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria.

Your advice?

This happens to be the biggest decision of my life.

Well all i can tell you is to strieve to come out tops in your educational career, that will open all doors and provide you with the right base to achieve your dream. Then even when you eventually goto the USA for your postgraduate, you can qualify for scholarship and educational grants.

With your education completed you can then come back let buld this nation and chase all these mediocres parading themselves as technocrats. Even those whos so called certificate from Toronto University are been questioned who eventually brought out the certificateless one to lead the nation of the educated.

Barywhyte:
Sorry about this op. After 3mins, u were "discarded". That means u didn't impress. You must find out why u failed to impress your interviewers. And take care of that in your next interview. I don't c how running to America will make your life more meaningful.

At least he can get a low job and be able to eat well, enjoy steady power supply, clean water, security of life and if he has his focus right eventually normalise his stay and achieve his dreams rather than come back here and wreck his future in the hands of mean, vision-less and deadly desperate power seekers who dont care about the youths, busy junketing the globe, debating child marriage in senate, and pilling up money yet they know not where to invest the money or what to do with all the money they are collecting.

Of what use is all the money you put in one account if you dont invest it to generate more money and help the economy to grow. Just imagine senate is still battling within itself, how then can they sit down and think about how Nigeria will grow. My brother get yourself focussed and remain there for now the people managing this side are yet to get themselves together.

We are missing the point as usual, if you watched Buhari reading out that speech yesterday. You would have seen a man struggling very hard to maintain a stable composure. Indeed, that man deserves to be resting by this time the job at hand is very tasking for his age and we cannot afford to [lace the destiny of Nigerians in the hands of a man who will be battling with old age challenges and also setting cutting edge policies to move our economy forward.

Unfortunately, the VP who ought to be very active in the circumstance seems to still be learning his ropes. Under these situations the Nigerian economy will remain in the doldrums for a while. What we need at this time is a young time tested crack team of financial experts, which we are not lacking in Nigeria to drive this economy but because of these cabal in the military and in the North, they wont let this nation get to where it ought to be in the league of nations. They want us to remain beggarly like their brothers in Niger, Chad, Sudan etc.

We need to run faster and be where we ought to be. South Africa, India, Singapore are not better than us, what we need are strong, dynamic visionary, calculated risk takers, people who believe that we have all it takes, people hungry for success, people ready to grow with Nigeria and not people who have raped this nation and have nothing more to loose if anything goes wrong.

We need a real CHANGE from real change agents and not deadwoods.

it is normal nau, mind you whether it is Benin republic or London or is international trip hence attracts the same estacode tax payers money.

This is unexpected from a big bank like Firstbank. How can they debit someone for sms you did not initiate. If they send you your monthly balance as a value added service, why then do they turn around and charge the person. OP please take them to CBN they must refund all your money.

This is the kind of rubbish we see when bankers from do or die banks come to a bank where things are moving normally they come along with their draconian policies. Charge should only be for electronic transactions initiated by you, any other charge is fraud and must be reported.

The simplest thing he could have done by uniting this country, he has failed, killings and hate is more than ever at its highest level.

I dont know from where to start to rate this govt. If he has even surrounded himself with young technocrats we can say he has a plan for the future but with all the hordes of expired politicians with dented profiles I really wonder.

There they go again blaming the innocent country for their ineptitude. Nigerias economy is not different from the economy of other countries the only problem our economy has is the useless, clueless, unintelligent quacks managing it. Therefore I reject that my country's economy, from where i am having my daily bread is suffering from all those deadly diseases. It is Lai Mohammed and his household that is suffering from Ebola, HIV and AIDS.

If he has no answer to the problem he should carry his dead brain out of that place, by the way has he gone to waste tax payers money in his jamboree trip to Dubai?

All I know and I have seen is that any state in this govt that an intelligent young person is leading you will see progress because it is in the blood to for young people to work compared to the dead log of woods at the federal, ministries and states.

Keep up the good work Sir Willie Obaino.

A certificate less president leading a nation of professors.

Those who murdered sleep they themselves cannot sleep. They should find a solution to all these before it consumes Nigeria.

Honestly, working in any Bank in Nigeria has become a pitiable job. When you consider the manner and way in which bank workers are shoved off without no warning and sometimes they are sent off without even any pay. They have the same degree that govt workers in NNPC and CBN have but they are treated like slaves like people they are pitying to offer a job as though they dont add any value.

How come a man dresses up wades through the Lagos traffic only to get to work and he cannot logon again what type of inhuman HR policy is that. I dont even pray my enemy gets a job in such a useless unproductive sector where you find all manner of chalatans in high managerial positions. Maybe its about time CBN closes all of them and leave only the big 3 or 4 namely 1stBank, UBA, Union, GTBank. The rest should be closed, we are tired of this their useless mass sack every year. Imagine banks like Unity and Keystone just hanging in there to wreck the future of youths working in such places.

Anybody that's want to do what nobody has done before will surely see what nobody has seen before. Kachikwu instead of doing things step by step, he just came he has never been a minister before, he has not been in government before all I know is that he was the editor of Hints magazine now he wants to come and do magic with our NNPC. He should be ready to face the consequences if his rubbish experiment fails because Nigerians will teach him a lesson he will never forget in a hurry.

Chai, so these people just deny this poor chap the joy of growing up in a normal home, meanwhile they both enjoyed growing up with their own parents. Chai, chai but why

Is this one news again? BTW is that not the man who left his beautiful wife back home and ran away to USA with the former wife of the late Olu, now he is working to feed another mans children and also look after another mans heartthrob. SMH

I have always wondered what an old 76yrs man has to offer a nation in dare need to move forward in a supersonic speed away from the traditional ways of doing things into the new jet age but then again when I considered his persistence for 12 years to be president i thought he was coming to clean the Augean staples since he had nothing to loose. I expected that fanfare and frivolities would be the last thing on his mind but alas I was dead wrong, he came to actualise and fulfil the aspirations of his jihadist brothers but masquerading as a democrat, ofcourse discernible people are not taken in by the gimmicks.

Somehow I think he is on a mission to deliver the mandate of those who sent him and you dont ask me the mandate, time will reveal it all. His body language will reveal all if you are observant enough.

Money answers it all, when there was no money there was no kiss talkless of kissing in public but no who cares. Kiss is freely given whether willing or not. Even when you least expect it, it is given to tell other ladies that this one is taken and no room for husband snatchers and seducers.

A good catapult on the forehead at night would have sent more meaning than writing all this. By the time she treats it with a permanent knuckle on her head as reminder that will send the appropriate warning to all the useless fake managers.

You need to get serious prayers warriors to pray thats the only way she will run away. Thats how they do mermaid spirit any home they go to they cause disunity in order to have their way and capture their victim meanwhile they protect their own homes and family. You need serious prayers to send the demon away.

Integrityfarms:
The menace of the Libyans in the Idoma community is heartrending indeed! Thanks to the silence of their Life Patron!

Dont be afraid to mention his name, we all know him. Is it not under his watch that they almost invited an ISIS leader to the land of the masquerade czar in kano, is it not under his watch that fulani herdsmen metamorphosed into terrorist and started killing innocent citizens in their own homeland. Is it not under his watch that he told the whole world that all of us are fantastically corrupt, is it not under his watch that ministers were all labelled as noise makers. Is it not under his watch that suddenly boko started releasing Chibok girls one by one ahead of May 29. Is it not?

It can only happen first in Igbo land and by Ibos

Bubu is the only one in Nigeria who is not corrupt.
Bubu and his daughter Zara are the only one entitled to Forex.
Bubu is the only one entitled to travel 4 times in the month without question.
Bubu is the only one who is a saint in this government others are noise makers.
Bubu is the only president I know with a controversial school certificate result.

@OP, some are known, some are unknown, there we have the good the bad and the ugly. In any case they are living it up to the calling. Kudos.

That shortman devil again

Man of the people, the might of the Nigerian masses is behind you and one with majority is one with God. We pray you wont be swept away by corruption like others. If a government that came to power in the good wishes and mandate of Nigerians have turned back to pay us back with this wicked and evil pill, then we should spare no chance in dealing ruthlessly with a wicked inhumane govt.

Since they came to power they have not done anything for the masses to show love instead its darkness, unemployment, ethnic division, uncaring, wastefulness, jamboree trips by ministers and president, unwarranted show of affluence in the midst of harsh economy, siphoning of funds and above all the last straw which is the unbriddled removal of fuel subsidy.

I pray we use this strike to get rid of this rubbish called change. Instead of change into a young technocentric govt wee changing into an old wasted bunch of desperate power seekers who are living dead carcasses who have nothing to offer.
Yes they have nothing to loose either, if they die now they will simply use us to bury their dead carcass. They are wasted, they have lived their lives and they want to live our lives again for us. They should 'gerraway' for young viable, innovative, creative and dynamic young men to handle the affairs of this country. Those who are not yet expired, those burning with hot ideas, those pained by our backwardness who want to leapfrog us into the the techy age just like India and China. Those who realise that Nigeria is home for all and we must make our home comfortable like in the western countries. Not useless idiots that will be telling you stories how things were in 1983 when they were soldiers.

We need leaders who will be able to blend with the likes of great leaders like Cameron, Obama, Putin, and the rest and not leaders who dont understand English, anything they say he will say yes even when they tell him is it true you are fantastically corrupt.

We need a true CHANGE into a new Nigeria and not a change into backwardness and the era of living deads bereft of ideas.

Where is the worldest Lai, at a crucial time like this he is not Lai ing on whether the strike has been squashed.

yet vp is still denying that fuel subsidy hasnt been removed, but what is our sin to this desperate power seekers. Why cant they be truthful for once.

I consider nursing as a female job, a job where you will only be administering treatment drugs to patients and caring for the sick patient untill full recovery and at the sametime taking direct orders from the doctors prescriptions.If women can be doctors and consultants how then can a man aspire to be only a nurse unless maybe for places where the pay is ok like in yankee otherwise it doesnt make sense.

BTW, OP was wrong when he said they have the same knowledge of the human anatomy with doctors that is a lie. Dostors spend seven to eight years and it takes an average of three years to do a nursing a midwifery program at LUTH then if you go abroad you just take their board exams to upgrade to their standard

Nurses have their own work and doctors have their own work and never confuse the two, they are not the same and can never be the same. Doctor will diagnose and prescribe drugs, pharmacist will dispense it and nurses will administer the drugs and manage patient to full recovery. It is even a dirty job because if the patient is an incontinence patient they will clean the patient feaces and urine. So tell me how can a man be doing such for another man for that matter, a woman we can understand because they are mothers so they are good at caring but a whole man haba.

If a man is in yankee i dont blame such as far as hustling is concerned but in Naija to be doing nursing something must be wrong somewhere.

Omonigeriarere:
If indeed these people spoke against fuel increase before and if indeed they promised to bring down the price of fuel and now after getting into power they want to deceive us into believing they are fighting for us they will be disgraced out of office surely.


Even if you don't understand the terminology called 'subsidy removal', you could have known that it might be uncessary for GEJ to remove it as at then because it was the time Nigeria experienced the highest PMS price in history over $120.

Now, the price is not even up to the half of what it was under PMB. Debt needs to be serviced: workers' salaries needs to be increased: power sector is down to zero output despite huge yearly allocation since the inception of democracy (16 years of PDP regime): state allocations has been drastically reduced, which made it difficult for them to pay salaries etc. All

In consideration of the fact that Nigeria practices mono-culture economy characterized by over-reliance on oil whose price has dropped evidently, where do you think government can source for money except subsidy removal?

Remember, the situation has gone worse before GEJ's exit to the extent that FG was borrowing to pay workers with over $120: get it right sir.

Thank you but remember we have been on this same mono economy since time immemorial some even threatened that if subsidy is not removed Nigeria would crash but today we are still standing. Judging from what you have said this government has promised to pay unemployed 5k monthly, feed students etc is it from this same subsidy removal? if it is why would the poor workers and hapless Nigerians be the sufferer for this economic downtown which we ought to blame on the useless leaders we have had over the years.

They refused to diversify the economy when they petrol price was good and I mean Gowon/Obasanjo oil boom era, IBB gulf war windfall, Abacha monumental looting and so on till the last administration. Instead they stole our money to enrich themselves at the expense of our national and collective commonwealth.

A people oriented leader will look at how to make the very rich in our society bear the bigger brunt of this economic quagmire since they are the once who benefitted from oil wells and so on. Why pass it to the common man. It is wickedness. Couldnt the clueless leadership have taxed the big oil companies more and the in the spirit on Nigeria incrementally mark up the price after due consultation with all stakeholders.
Where do you expect the poor Nigerians whos salary are no been increased to get the addditional money to pay for the associated rise in cost of goods and services, where, where, where tell me my brother.

We cannot be fooled again, they said it when they were campaigning, they saw the problem they said they can fix it, we trusted them and voted for them, why then do they want to betray the trust we reposed in them. Look at it now the president has openly labelled Nigeria as corrupt by extension he too is corrupt, who will come and invest in a corrupt country.

If they cannot fix the problem they should honorably quit the scene afterall they have openly admitted that the economy has gone out of the control of Buhari. If they refuse to tow the path of honor in the face of cluelessness then they should remember history because it never fails to repeat itself. Nigeria is our own we will not fold our arms and allow those who have nothing to loose destroy our future and mortgage the future of our children and children's children.

It will only take the right policy decisions to galvanise other sectors of the economy. I can bet you even after all the fuel price increment with adequate plans to stimulate growth in agriculture, petrochemical, education other countries have done it so why cant we do it. They should forget oil and repair our refineries our crude oil should atleast be enough for our local consumption if we cannot make money through sells of crude oil.

My final conclusion is the way and manner Kachikwu and Buhari have been going about this situation clearly shows that they do not know what to do and so they are looking for the easy way out at the detriment and expense of the poor masses but they forget that there is God watching the actions of men.
Buhari must at all times be seen to stand with the people keeping silent and allowing Kachikwu to be behaving as if he is the one taking this unpopular decisions wont help. The bulk stops on his table so he must stop whatever will not augur well for Nigerians. We are all in it, if heaven is going to fall let it fall it will fall on all of us. Fuel price increase must and should be a decision that will be taken after due consultations and engagement with the Nigerian masses through debates and representations from duly accredited persons.

Buhari is just using this one to do the Yo man's job. If indeed these people spoke against fuel increase before and if indeed they promised to bring down the price of fuel and now after getting into power they want to deceive us into believing they are fighting for us they will be disgraced out of office surely.

It is not by force, if they don't have idea what to do they should honorably quit before they crash this country. They have been lying and jumping from pillar to post. The other time this same tyro minister kachiku said he was unbundling NNPC when that one backfired overnight he denied that it wasn't unbundling but restructuring, now he has come again. Somebody should tell him and his paymaster that Nigeria is not an experimental lab where we train people how to be a minister at the expense of people's life.

It is not today that we have been seeing ministers of petroleum yet we never had it so terribly bad and to compound it lies upon Lai s. No single truth in their dealings with Nigerians.

Nigeria is now a mockery in the eyes of the world because you have a man who did not go to school ruling this nation at this point in time in our history. Half of the things the oyinbos are saying he does understand so he just be answering yes and no. Any question that is so complex he will just blame it on GEJ.

All professionals in the country have gone claiming to be from any neighboring west African country.

Nobody is begging him to release him if he likes let him kill him if that will make all Nigeria's problem to go away, all we know is that common Shekau that is kiling Nigeria is still on the loose and he has been unable to capture him instead him and his desperate power seekers are going through the back door to grant amnesty to them. Soon they will all be consumed in their folly.
