EducationRe: FG Fixes Age 12 As Minimum For JSS1 Admission by papyjaypaul: 2:19pm On Jul 25, 2025
MadamExcellency:
My youngest child has just escaped the strict policy. He is 12 years old and in Basic 9 (JSS3). I am preparing to send him to where they repair phones and computers for training since schools have just closed. He is into programming.

Does the government expect him to crawl with low-IQ kids in the name of education policy?
Nice. Education is Exposure, not just formal exposure. Please make sure the Oga monitors him so that the older people don't corrupt him. God bless your child and protect the child from wolves.

Looking at their physical appearance, Oshiomole and Osinbajo can pass for age mates. But Oshiomole is older than grey haired Prof but is the agemate with Tinubu.
Do your maths.

Go and find something better to do with your time. You're comparing an athlete to a musician and looking for problems. Erling Haaland is 43 years old because Ibrahimovich looks like him and they have the same height undecided

This was how you people destroyed the career of Obafemi Martins when he was 19 just because you suspect he cheated angry

Oga entitlement mentality is relative. People are human and make ends meet through interactions.
Aboki de talk nagode to him brother. Their religion has a huge influence on them. An ungrateful person is an ungrateful person. Don't forget the rich man is also going through life struggles. Don't assume money has solved everything for him. Who's asking about that? Selfish mindset will never let you have abundance mindset. A heart that is thankful will always get more, no matter what! Most religions know this. Even atheists who claim to not worship anything know the power of gratitude. That is the lesson here.

People want what you have, not what you give them.

Rubyjade:
1. Don’t Take It Personally – Their lack of gratitude reflects on them, not you. Don’t let it rob you of your peace.

2. Limit Your Giving – Stop overextending yourself. Ingrates often take more when they know you’ll keep giving.

3. Set Boundaries – Be clear about what you will and won’t tolerate. Protect your time, energy, and resources.

4. Don’t Expect Appreciation – Give only when it’s from the heart, not for applause. That way, you’re not disappointed.

5. Let Actions Speak – Sometimes, the best response is to quietly withdraw your support and let them feel the difference.

6. Learn and Adjust – Treat their ingratitude as feedback. Adjust your future interactions based on how they value (or devalue) you.

7. Keep Your Integrity – Stay kind, but wise. Don’t let ingratitude turn you bitter or make you stoop to their level.

Be helpful, not a doormat. Give smart. Love yourself enough to walk away when your kindness is being wasted.
I loved this post. Allow people to introduce themselves and reveal who they are❤️💯

Let no one pressure you on anything in this life. As long as your friend is an adult, you owe no one anything in life. Nothing at all. Let me tell you, that is the harsh truth of life. It's his kid, it was his conjugation, now it's his congratulations not your calculation.

Nigerians, both the professionals and non professionals have this bad habit of plagiarizing content. No wonder people don't acknowledge sources anymore. You will not die if you wrote that it was on The Honest Bunch. Sit down ko, sit at home ni angry

PHIPEX:
When Benue gov started this, am sure he doesn't know how far reaching it will get to.

This could be a prelude to an outright banning of opposition figures in the future.

A Gov/President can totally ban any opposition political party from gathering anywhere without an OUTRIGHT SECURITY CLARANCE in the coming years.

Don't be surprised, in 2027 this will be taken further to prevent any opposition campaign in any state because of "Security issues" until a governor or president approves their gathering
Even before now, Governors have used different excuses to prevent opposition from campaigning. We see it in Lagos, Rivers, Edo, Ogun, Kogi, Kaduna and other states. Now that they are emboldened, you will see how far they will go. Isn't it a governor who wanted all his commissioners to decamp with him? Our politicians are power drunk.

Obi is one of them and I now see why he told his supporters not to protest his election result loss. You can see that without giving them a chance, they still look for fathom reasons to blame him for loss of people's lives.

PoliticsRe: Oil Cabal Fought Back After Subsidy Removal But Tinubu Didn’t Budge - Shettima by papyjaypaul: 7:35pm On Jul 24, 2025
Every person in leadership position has his style. Even though you may not agree with Tinubu saying subsidy is gone from the first day, despite advice from his own people, I still commend the move. Look at it this way, if he didn't do it with that surprise move, they would lobby and try to convince him as he is settling in. Now it's one thing to say subsidy is gone, it's another thing to prepare for what is to come? Did Tinubu prepare for what is to come? I don't think so. The reason being that the effects of his call is what has affected his own administration in handling the economy.

I would have called him a man of steel and the propaganda words his supporters use if I saw him handle 1, NNPC differently (they failed so many times to have refineries working despite the promises and 2, his handling of Dangote vs NNPC. Whether you like it or not, our refineries need to work. As long as some people are stealing our oil in broad daylight and those trying to sabotage the ecomomy are not punished, forget it.

What Peter Obi represents is a potential to challenge authority and they don't want that. They want to talk down at us. Have you forgotten CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY?

papyjaypaul:
I used to think it was about Obi, no. It is that Obi gave the masses the gut to challenge them without their permission. Obi is just the face of the accountability they don't want. Don't you understand when people start to challenge politicians, it demystifies themhuh

That's why they are attacking Obi. Obi is not special but he is showing them the kind of Politics they don't want. They like the gbajue politics where they can talk to us like slaves.

"Go and die" in Oshiomole's words and they reward you with some money if the noise is too much from the public about their lack of empathy. They are looking for mandate slaves, not disobedient slaves.

Instead of humbly accepting that you goofed earlier with the first statement, you are further digging yourself into this hole.


How many top politicians and men of influence inform state governors when passing through or visiting?!!
You know what will make this interesting? The Oba of Benin invites Peter Obi for an event and let's watch how it goes. These mandate people want to mandate us to follow their lies. If the mandate they had was true, there's no need to force people to sing their anthem of standing on mandate. I don't know how the number 3 loser is causing so much trouble for the winners. They are not even interested in number 2, it's this number 3. Now I can see that there may be truth in those who said they know who won the election. It's becoming obvious. Wetin concern Real Madrid with Getafe?

AndroBlaze:
As much as I'm not in support of renaming something that has already been named after an individual, especially a well deserved one like Tai Solarin, it seems it was the Ogun Assembly that first agreed to this while the Awujale was alive a few years ago according to this.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/471042-ogun-assembly-passes-bill-to-rename-tai-solarin-college-of-education.html?tztc=1
They should leave these things alone. It's because it is Ijebu land they wanted to do eye service and respect for the Awujale but we need to think beyond our noses. These politicians only think of now, just leave it as it is. They don't know it takes years to build a name.

So if we lose 30 leaders this year, there will be so many name changes and confusion, it doesn't make any sense. They can do better to honor the Awujale and Tai Solarin, who was a renowned educator.

Seun, you need to deal with the OP for deliberately misinforming Nairalanders.

Tai Solarin University is different from Tai Solarin college of education. Tai Solarin University of Education at Ijagun is not the same as Tai Solarin college of education, they are two different institution.
The College of Education got upgraded to a University in 2005 and FG took over recently.

I think there is a secret oath these politicians have taken to keep attacking education. To make it worse, some of them have questionable character or are not showing good leadership in education, that's why they are attacking it by renaming all our higher institutions. The Senate should pass a bill banning Governors and Presidents from doing this please, it is urgent.

Google Ms Maduka vs Microsoft Nigeria

If people want to take these cases and fight it, they will and Nigeria will act. It's not all gloom and doom as people paint it, most Nigerians prefer social media justice than actual justice. There are other cases on social media but I don't want to cite them because it is easy to call people's names without evidence and even if they are afraid that the system that will protect them is not going to act in their favor, those who want to win will win. Also Google Ms Yakubu vs FRCN. That's the same Nigeria you see people proving their cases even if the company pretends not to do anything about it.

Quick question: Will a Nigerian resign? smiley
I understand you. Answer to your question: No.

The other answer will be, it depends. In private, it is likely to see them resign than public but we have seen cases where it has cost people their jobs in Nigeria. Don't forget a few years ago, some tech Bros in Nigeria got into trouble for things like this.

I think it has more to do with having an affair with a Co worker than the affair itself. Musk has kids with some of his colleagues but it's how it is done that is the matter. If you do this with a colleague, it puts that person in a favorable position than others. That is what is unfair.

Nigeria and the worship of money won't get us anywhere. The psyche is damaged, we need a thorough replacement of values and orientation as a society.

Nothing happening today has not happened in the past before but I think drama has taken over prose and poetry so social media (drama) is doing more education than prose and poetry (critical thoughts and reflection).

PoliticsRe: 3 Things That Should Be Named After Muhammadu Buhari - By Naptu2 by papyjaypaul: 11:14am On Jul 18, 2025
AMINDA:
What a man Buhari was. He commissioned a lot of projects and named none after himself. He rebuffed the moves by Southeast governors to name the second Niger Bridge after him. He even rejected it when Umahi went ahead to name the Ebonyi International Airport after him.

This is in huge contrast to Tinubu who has been naming every new and existing National Monument after himself. Infact, his first commissioned project was "The World's Largest Portrait", a portrait of himself on June 12th, one year after his swearing-in. Buhari and Tinubu are not the same.
Naptu2 says if you don't like it, go and unname it. It's just a matter of time. Most of these things will be unnamed, just wait. You can't glorify yourself into the history books and it shows that the person is insecure to want things named after them when it's not their personal money being used.

All of you all together are not serious. Nigeria needs a set of new thinkers. With Buhari's death and the review of his time, I was sad that we just wasted time on letting him be president. These people are spent out and they will not offer anything new. They live in the past and when they get there they will romanticize it, that's why I'm not surprised with the anthem they changed to. We have old men who live in the past and want to settle personal scores through power.
