This school is like "IGBO"no loud advertising, yet people who knows what they want for their children know where to find it.

Its reputation speaks for itself.Academically outstanding,it rewards excellence with scholarships for top-performing students and its alumni have gone on to study in prestigious Ivy League universities and other world-class institutions across the globe.
Excellence doesn't always make the loudest noise—it simply delivers results.They go to International academic competitions!

Marry your sister and leave grammar!

No near those pretentious guys who go after men that look like women. Even though they say they no dey do women, no near them. Na diaper you go dey wear!

Just Fry Akara, The Cost of Out-of-Touch Leadership.

By Comrade Peter Nwokolo

Nigerian women do not need much money to start the business of frying akara, corn and kwuli-kwuli.

Those were the words of Senator Remi Tinubu, wife of the President. And with that one sentence, millions of Nigerian women heard exactly how little their struggle is understood by the very people who claim to serve them.

The backlash was immediate and it was right.

Because frying akara is not “just” frying akara. It is waking up at 4am. It is buying beans at a market where prices have tripled. It is gas or firewood or charcoal that eats half your profit. It is oil that costs more than many earn in a day. It is rent for a shop, levies from task forces and fear of security agencies seizing your goods. It is hunger while you fry food for others.

To reduce that to “doesn’t need much money” is disdain dressed as advice.

This is the pattern, not an accident.
Our political class has made a habit of prescribing survival to people they have impoverished. When fuel goes up, they ask us to trek, when food is unaffordable, they say “farm, when businesses collapse, they say “hustle harder and when women cry out, they say “fry akara.”

It indeed, reveals a deeper problem: a government that measures the lives of citizens in street-food portions while it budgets in billions for itself and its cronies.

The math doesn’t add up. Ask any woman on the street in Ekiti, Onitsha, Kano or Port Harcourt what it takes to start today. Beans. Pepper. Onions. Oil. Gas. Utensils, a table, protection money and Transport. The capital required now is not “little.” The margin is thinner. The risk is higher and the State, instead of easing that burden, adds taxes, policy shocks and insecurity.

What citizens hear in “just fry akara” is that your poverty is your problem, Your hunger is your hustle and your economy is not our concern.

That is not leadership. Leadership is lowering the cost of food, fuel and business. It is credit that is accessible, markets that are safe and policies that don’t punish the petty trader to protect the powerful.

Nigerian women are already resilient. They do not need lectures on frying. They need a government that respects their labour enough to make it viable.

Until our leaders stop trivializing suffering and start accounting for it, every “akara speech” will be remembered for what it really is: proof of the distance between Aso Villa and the average Nigerian’s kitchen.

Nigeria deserves leaders who count our costs, not dismiss them. This is what I saw somewhere and I want to share it here in the heat of the ongoing Akara recommended business era!

The guy should just delist all parties.except APC !

Iraq if na terrorist attack na una get am.See as Senegal spell your name and give you extra one for personal delivery to your leader.Football unite the world.Just joking brother!

You've made your country proud! No shaking with Argentina! But make una let them score plenty goal,if you can't win.Congratulations once again guys!

Guy, at least you should have removed the RCCG wristband before holding her na! And why didn't the girl hold something too?

He's a dumb skull, not a hitman. No real hitman gets caught this way.Walking around an exam hall during an examination with a pistol in a crossbody bag that's obviously suspicious. He didn't even execute the job he was allegedly paid for.Those who hired him should go and collect their money back. Now he's ready to confess like a wizard under interrogation. Shun cultism!

Why will you accept poison? Tell them pointedly with love and humility,we do not eat this!But you will love to but...

This is great,tap from Frank experience.To Frank,you be oga.You planned your life Boss!

Na season film ! OPC chairman kidnapped on mission to deliver ransom!

This could have been done privately.
God help us all.

Na scam be this? You give name and details, still cover face. So how we wan take know the person? Abeg no do like this.

These ones are not voting abi! Na rigging machinery?

The hardship is real! They see him as their common enemy; that's the narrative they've been fed. No amount of rhetoric can change that perception in those areas. When elections come, they see it as an opportunity to express their frustrations and anger at the polls.

South Africans should be deported from anywhere in the world! Operation "Send them Home'.

They are all beautiful. The last two styles are more revealing of their natural shape, while the others offer a more flattering and concealing fit. Regardless, they all carry themselves with grace and confidence.

Small VeryDarkMan is giving them sleepless nights, and now they're petitioning the EFCC through proxies. Chai! The pressure is really getting to them! Dem just include Deji.

We did not promise you second term either!

God bless Dangote! Some family histories may be changing for the better simply because Dangote happened to them. This is truly good news!

They have already started campaigning for the President, even when the INEC timetable clearly suggests otherwise,from Ekiti to Osun and even Enugu!
Make una just use that broom sweep am comot jare!
Everybody is feeling the heat, except the APC politicians.we no even know the kind confidence wey dey sustain dem!

Well,it all depend on the context! The president of the United States!

Please, I want to ask an honest question with no political undertone.
For those who have witnessed how elections are conducted in other countries, whether in Africa (though I doubt it is much different from Nigeria), do European or American governments induce citizens with handouts to vote for their parties or candidates?
I believe that if the government provides the basic necessities of life, no Nigerian would need to beg for anything. We are naturally hardworking people.

How true is this?

With this signing Trump has vindicated Obama.
In as much as the war was meaningless to the US. I feel Netanyahu manipulated Trump so much.

Now Trump afraid that Republicans will lose November elections with the rising cost of fuel in the US. $8 as against $2, in bidens Era. have made a deal with the devil.

That's geopolitics at work.It shows strength and political savvy on President Trump's part.In international politics,there are no permanent friends or enemies,only permanent interests. Leaders are judged by how well they protect and advance those interests.
