That is why a CBN does not have the intelligence that is had in the parallel market. That is why the economy of our country is in jeopardy.

Private organizations seeking to exploit the system, have rigorous recruitment processes to hire the best minds. These companies, then do the nation a fool; taking advantage of inefficiency and incompetency in our public sectors.

Again, in our government institutions, our best minds should represent us and we are where we are today as a nation because we have a lot, there, through uncompetitive processes. A lot, that should not even be near these vital institutions.

The cost of food is at an all time high. The minimum wage can only buy half a bag of rice. Poverty level is at its highest; yet the NLC is nowhere to be found.

The cost of transport is at an all time high. More than half of the middle class have dropped into poverty. Buhari hates the opposite; and yet the NLC cannot even cough.

Ayuba Wabba will end his term, and his glaring failures at the leadership helm of the NLC will never get overshadowed.

May God direct us from those led by satan, or May God help us to deliver them, either to a psychiatrist or a priest.

Atiku’s disposition to the lynching of Deborah has not left my mind.

I think as president, he would likely sell this country in order to purchase acres of land in Dubai.

In summary, the court order for a remand of the IGP will be disobeyed.

Just like that for (of) the EFCC chairman.

Just like Buhari has done with Nnamdi Kanu and several other court judgments.

ASUU is the law abiding union.

The court is only macho with the likes of Inibehe Effiong and commoners like him.

Your father would have remarried and that would still be his house. You have to get your own house. A different pursuit from this unhealthy entitlement will only make you better overall.

China has similar ambition that Russia has with Ukraine.
They already have policy stations in some of their colonies.
Ukraine capitulation will embolden nationalist tyrants and despots.

I think your question should be if education has a better worth compared to crime.

If that is giving you sleepless nights, I think you should be depressed that it’s giving you sleepless night.

Whether, you make a first class, your geology lecturers are not as rich as your yahoo friends.

The fact that you reference your yahoo friends indicate that you likely are not even considering a legitimate means of earning, and you are not bothered about your livelihood but you want only to live large and oppress like your friends.

The truth is you are not alone. Most people want wealth too and we are not a righteous nation.

So do yahoo plus too, to be richer. Even to be more richer, do kidnapping and armed robbery. That’s the way to go.
Or
after you study geology, you want to be unemployed like many before you, compelled by the labor market to do a masters and end up as a contract staff in one bank, paid slave wages

Well, as a teller, you can steal plenty money and become very wealthy.

If there is any inclination to crime in your mind at this young age, that should be what you should be concerned about, but listen to Portable song ZAZU, it will help you banish the weakness that is holding you back from waywardness and crime.

Stay on with those friends so they can corrupt you thoroughly. Help them recruit girls from your class, for ritual.

At the end, you pay your tithe and buy musical instruments for your church and then join politics.

You would not end up in prison my dear. Only fools do.

And your victims, they may have an heart attack or have their lives short, but you will give some of your ill gotten wealth to charity and it will be purer and you will be wealthy.

This is a loan to the people of the state, the interest he is set to receive on such loan, will be in the misappropriation of fund meant for the state.

He would recover in hundred folds, every single kobo he has to expend during this election.

For this 100 million, he would take 1billion that can be used for that state development next year.

With so much spending in order to win an election, expecting a candidate that is not corrupt is expecting the impossible.

And it would be so for decades as one of the most important diagnosis of a Tinubu or Atiku presidency, is that elections would become meaningless.

After nine months, The FG posture is not to help students who have lost a year, to get a better motivated workforce.

The best of their lecturers have resigned and taken on better opportunities abroad.

The ones left would not abandon the means or businesses that have sustained them through the strike.

The full attention of their lecturers is probably forever lost.

The FG would recruit from the large labor market or retired civil servants if they must. You foolishly defend them. No competent individual would take an offer where the employer has reneged on agreement and is willing to sentence the employee to a 9month without a means, for their personal living or those of their dependents.

No competent individual would, when ASUU’s crime has been only to admonish FG on its failure to implement agreements he is a party to

These ones know the FG has no incentive to address any issue in so far NIC has offered itself as an instrument to nullify the ability of ASUU to negotiate change and better conditions on behalf of its members and for students.

And so the universities will continue to deteriorate, unmotivated staffs will be the universities lots, Again, what was the year sacrificed for? not for a return to well equipped laboratories or good infrastructured universities but to deteriorated universities and a workforce whose inner spirit is damaged, susceptible to corruption to augment his livelihood.

Okay

Nigeria

The country is imploding on all of our heads.

He wasn't kidnapped on his way to Kaduna or in Anambra.

And he has not won a million dollar grant.

Just a teacher, trying to augment for his loss of earning; taking additional responsibilities to earn a little more, while he hopes the government can pay what he is owned.

His colleagues know, however they love this country and would have love to remain and impact; this country can't protect them, it can't protect you.

They are applying for teaching positions everywhere else.

His case will not be an extraordinary circumstance for the government.

What if, beyond his classrooms, he had spoken against the irresponsibility of the government, its duty to secure our lives, and its failure? He has!!! Perhaps he wasn’t loud enough.

What if he has condemned whatsoever it is, that the government does, abandoning folks to their fate, not doing what it can, if bandits or kidnappers or UGM, have us in their custody??

It's not your business today. It will be yours tomorrow.

Nigerians would rise to the top, wherever the opportunities abound.

False prophets are not the property of any one denomination.

If you seek to find corruption in the Vatican, you will find such there.

Finding such, shouldn’t invalidate the effort of countless others and perhaps many more, who are honest and endeavoring to be true to their own God.

The intent of the reporter is not to expose what was prevalent in the church. As It’s not news worthy or agenda worthy, an indication that before encountering such rogues, there were perhaps others who were only forthcoming and genuine in their concerns about the issues he claim to be bedeviled. They did not pretend to have a more superior awareness. Now, such people were not sought nor reported about, only those that sustain or assures the hypothesis of the investigation.

Is the investigation good for us or for our knowledge Certainly. Certainly, there is no warning in the report, that is not already in most religious teachings. The Bible for instance, fervently warns about false prophets and admonishes us to test every spirit.

Is the investigation good for the church of God? Hopefully. Hopefully, the leadership at the identified churches can implement controls to remove the wolves that we think are shepherds.

In the vineyard of God, we should find such prophets that are wolves; and while they increase daily, we are yet, duty bound as Christians to pray for our churches and prophets than we should participate in the mockery of the church or its prophets. So while you assimilate this, do remember too, that your responsibility also involves participating in the elimination of such.

Finally, one should not abandon the church to the lots or flee from the church in a bid to flee from such false prophets; for those who truly are endeared to God and the teachings of the Bible, it’s easy to stay and fight and defend the church while acknowledging that the Bible already warned, that false prophets in the vineyard of God shall abound, but they that know the lord shall not fall victims.

Again, these churches also have good and honest prophets too.

And Abuja is the most protected. If Abuja is compromised, then the rest of the country is already is in the brinks already.

Will Musk buy Nairaland too??

First, they got to the Semi Final, and so they deserve some commendation.

Anyone who watched the game would know that Columbia was the far far better team.

“The players tried” against Columbia, yes, they tried woefully.

Not necessarily their fault, the manager should be responsible for getting the team to perform.

The manager appeared to instruct the team, not to make any serious ambition at scoring or holding the ball… they should all just be chaotic and interestingly that earned the team a draw at final time.

For the penalty shootout, the manager again failed the team woefully. He had no plan for who should take the penalty after the first five had been taken. Doing such, it appeared outright, those girls were too young, to be given such a senseless and enormous responsibility and I hope it doesn’t crush their heart.

The flamingoes keeper for the penalty shootout could also have done far better. It appeared the coach believed that in the tournament, that was her only purpose. The manager should have ensured she was at least average. She had two outstanding penalty saves in the tournament, but then, the ones she didn’t even try for yesterday, appeared easier to keep out.

If we commend the performance, without a bit of being critical, we would keep getting terrible results from our football teams.

Congratulations to the girls, I hope they keep training to get better and hope they can good football teams to help improve their abilities.

The manager, who I hold as the culprit for yesterday eyesore performance; I hope he realizes his errors too, get back to the drawing board, and begin to initiate plans to get us the cup in the next tournament.

If you don’t know, as a man, you can write a letter to several organizations in the US stating that inside of you, you feel like a woman. some organizations will sponsor your trip and pay for a correction surgery to get you female organs.

If you want to win an international literature or photography price or grant, let your theme be on the positive depiction of same sex or transgender or maybe climate change.

It’s genuine to ask how Obi can navigate the nation without a structure. It’s also genuine to feel that Obi is part of the lot. He was only selling us an Atiku and PDP less than a year ago. Now, Endsars appears political, when the core of the issue has gone beyond what motivated it, but that the government response was wicked and callous.

That should be the priority in any discussion of that terrible episode, to guarantee Nigerians an unrepentant pursuit of Justice for those killed on that day, not the promotion of characters like John Enenche.


To be clear, Atiku would never earn my vote; the decision is a function of his antecedents. Tinubu would also not earn my vote; he has channeled Lagos wealth to his own private coffers, but much worse is his health status, his age -all of which indicate he would likely only be a liability to the nation and perhaps intensify the nations descent into dreadful.

While, the above is my direction; it does not indicate my destination as I am yet to make a decision; however, it does not help my making a decision, the irritating buzz that comes from wanting to know more about Obi or know more about his acclaimed antecedents. What I know about him, which is true, does not support the premise upon which he aspires or is not sufficient for any right minded individual to pronounce him as some messiah of sort.

I know he is a remarkable story teller; and that being a remarkable story teller can gain you recognition or awards; but being a remarkable story teller can in itself, for a right minded person - be a red flag, especially when there are conscious effort such as bullying towards those hoping for some substantiation. To hope that his many claims are collaborated and substantiated is ‘just’ rather than the callous calumny campaign towards those hoping to collaborate or substantiate his candidacy in proper context. Such campaign is intended to detract our reason from more important questions about him and while it may propel him to many more than it diminishes him with fewer more; it hurts to see us all foolishly led and manipulatively mishandled.

The justification for such a callous act has been that the other two foremost candidates are in whatever disguise a much more worse lot for us as a country. I think one of the two candidates already have a political base that is impervious to reason; and even a powerful base at that, which is more attuned to ethnic and religious affiliations than to rescue themselves from poverty and insecurity afflictions they are so sustained. The candidate that now has this advantage with such a base had Obi as a deputy in the last election. The other candidate is not so fortunate with such a base, but the character of his perspective is equally gloomy. This has been the justification, that however the inadequacies in Obi, it’s a raindrop to the other candidate oceans of inadequacies. However how quickly can many raindrop turn to a flood, an hurricane, a ruin.

Are there other candidates more deserving of our propelling than an Obi without any luggage indicating their journey is further down? I believe, we should consider or else Obi repent of his current outlook and take on in many debates of genuine question about his aspiration to show truly why he is not the least worse of the lots, but actually good for Nigeria as a country and engage in this conversations, not politically but genuinely. His visitation and pursuit of endorsements by those who have ruined the nation only indicate that his direction might not be so much different.

Are there other candidates to examine?? Perhaps. However, they don’t have the momentum, Obi could sustain by being forthcoming and clear about his condemnations of the sources of the troubles of our country. It’s no longer, unmistakable, that Obi feeds into our emotional senses, and we applaud him, where we should question him and his nonexistent plan for the redemption of our country.

Okay, while this don’t seem true, there’s some misconceptions we may have.

It’s the owners of the bank that are often disappointed by social media appraisals, because it reduces their wealth.

Staffs such as HR, IT may be otherwise indifferent.

For instance, HR probably understands that the reason why you experienced a poor service from the bank was either because the branch was understaffed.

The branches are understaffed because employees are leaving in droves. Employees are leaving in droves because of the ridiculous contract of service.

HR is also appalled, but then management want HR to impossibly be a profit center and deny employees their necessary rights and benefits. HR has to be the one renewing such evil contract of services when they Will otherwise desire not to, but management has demanded it. So, when people bash the banks, any sane HR mgt team member is hoping management can see the signal and understand the need for a certain quality of workforce.

It appears the employer is justifying the maltreatment and exploitation of employees by proclaiming that the farm establishment is his charity to the society.

He has not concretely denied any of the allegations, but rather, his posture has substantiated that he may need to improve as an employer.

One fellow keep acting as the police, labour report what Inspection officer?? 1 chance people.

This is not the only disaster for the medical sector.

People die daily for want of infrastructures in our national hospitals. And doctors association are not ASUU to insist that government funds hospitals to be able to help them care better for the citizenry. When they have made those requests, we the public have crucified them.

For any medics that care about saving lives, this itself is a disincentive. To have to see patients die because of lack of electricity during surgery or because of lack of ventilators or lack of manpower. It’s stressful already for the doctors.
aside the financial incentive that is also lacking.

To cater over 200 million people can be overwhelming. It’s difficult not to accept the offer to work in any other clime.

There is a disincentive to remain in Nigeria. And I am sure that more than half of the remaining doctors are evaluating their options. Several countries want their services, and would compensate them for migrating.

Be grateful for the ones left here.

That said, me think , many of those who studied biochemistry and other related courses are capable of being medical doctors. but understandably, the resources in terms of capacity of medical schools are not just there to help train them. It’s like you have to be an extraordinary genius to get into medical schools in Nigeria public universities. Yet I have seen those who cannot beat 180 in jamb, travel abroad and are now medical doctors.

I have seen parents that believed in their children’s capacity and the result is that they are practicing doctors today. Now, many of those that should be medical doctors because of lack of infrastructures have had to study interesting courses, that is little relevant to what we need in the country.

Again, the point is that the FG subsidised education is very competitive & limited that it shuts out thousands of good enough candidates that could easily endure the rigor of getting MBBS.

And as a nation, as earlier said, we are headed for disaster. The few healthcare personnels trained by the subsidised FG education are been enticed by opportunities abroad and they are moving out in thousands.

It is important that the FG provides incentives to curb this and also increase our capacity to produce more medics.

Our universities have to be empowered to take in as many medical students; this way, folks may at least be guaranteed access to basic healthcare & will improve the scary ratio of doctor / patients currently prevailing.

No reason, why the FG shouldn’t make provision for graduates of related disciplines to do a 3 or 4 yrs course in a specialised medical school for the award of MBBS.

Each candidate is plotting the others fall.
Obi would be dumb not to be doing so too.

The things that matter,

that the strike was called off and not merely suspended.

that the dispute was resolved.

the source of the dispute is reneging on earlier agreements, the solution was immediate implementation and not another set of promises that the next government has a precedent to desire a renegotiation.

It’s as though the problem is suspended to the future however you think it.

FG has not withdrawn its suit in court, ASUU has not withdrawn their demands either.

Has students gained a better motivated workforce and would they return to well equipped laboratories or good infrastructured universities? No!! Not yet!!! The best of their lecturers are only waiting for the arrears to be paid before they resign and take on better opportunities abroad. The best of their lecturers would not abandon the means or businesses that have sustained them through the strike. The full attention of their lecturers is probably forever lost.

And shouldn’t it with their lived experiences of government utter disregard and contempt for the academia. Who would remain at the discretion of any employer willing to sentence the employee to an 8month without a means for their living or those of their dependents? Just because the employer is admonished on its failure to implement agreements he is a party to.

Perhaps then, the students would return to living on promises waiting for the implementation of the next budget, where such fund will be channeled to building additional universities in some senators village and not put to it’s right purposes.

Has ASUU members done a bit for themselves here? Yh. Not accomplished their desires, forced to compromise their approach, but not their convictions.

In the end, the suspended strike will resume. The next government will follow through and remove the educational subsidy that ASUU defends as the right of every Nigerian.

Then, you can pray you don’t become a drop out or pray you don’t have families in Nigeria that won’t be able to afford education by then or pray you have the university, when the students revolts at government withdrawal of the subsidy. Probably shutting down the universities themselves.

During, the strike, one of the insight I got was, why can’t NANS mobilize and shut down private universities; so that everyone can feel some loss as result of the strike. The elite parents in such private universities would desire to see the dispute resolved sooner and would know, that private universities are not absorbed from crisis ongoing in public universities.

It’s all suspended now. ASUU has further compromised its position, accepted an offer definitely beyond its desire, just for the save of face and the avoidance of utter chaos in the educational sector; that a Buhari don’t appear bothered about.

Perhaps, as the government always do, a reneging occurs on this new agreement, and we are back to our annual strike actions.

I am sure most students categorically disagree with the manner you intend to protest the failure of your government.

Shutting down schools again, Would only sustain the suffering that are the repercussions of the strike on students.

Sexual crimes damages the victim and the victims family. The victims are sentenced to a life sentence of such an horrible memory.

In some cultures, the victim family feel so damaged that they kill the victim and call it honor killing.

These culprits deserve even more stiffer punishments.

Olanrewaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha sentence seem more recent than these. He was accused of child defilement and sexual assault. To a child, the sentence should be stiffer. He got a pat on the back.

Okay
Congratulations to UNILAG

UI is actually the first based on the times higher rankings.

Why can’t Nigeria news media just verify information that is easily obtainable and verifiable.

They are both in the same category of 400-500 but UI name appeared on this list earlier than UNILAG.

No reason why this shouldn’t have occurred decades ago. I hope other first generation universities catch up.

Lots should reflect really.

A professor at bar earns #416,000. It’s likely in her lifetime as a professor, she won’t earn the grand price of some of these reality shows. Yet you think it is a foolish parent who takes his daughter to a school where she could learn to twerk and tease sexual in order to build following, influence and wealth… while you put your own child in some library and be glad after graduating with a first class, that he can be employed to do the work than any SSCE holder will do. Or to become a personal assistant to some Tacha or if not so fortunate, join the significant % of unemployed lots or the lots employed but doing the most precarious jobs.

These people are mostly doing well in their endeavors while jumping on the train of BBnaija to fast track their heart desires. Yet we think them less intelligent? and very quick to ridicule and dismiss the show, yet the first to jump on any thread to display our frustrating and ‘ignorancing’ as though the show elected Buhari.

Some horrible ‘thoughting’.

This don’t even happen in a zoo.

Hopefully, the Nigeria government notifies the Guinness world record, so that all of those caught up in the traffic would at least see a silv lining in this terrible experience.

This is an ad.
