He is and remains a low life and low class street tout and clout chaser who will NEVER have any business in such a professional conference and will be FOREVER unwelcome in our midst/.

Falana made 3rd class in law
Though he has tried

LegendHero:
Jagaban on the wheels.

Tinubu must ensure that by 2031, he hand over the government to a competent successor. Then Nigeria will become a standard country.

Well even though I do not like some of his approach like tribalism and nepotism and taking over everywhere for himself and cronies ,I pray he achieves what you have said

donleo92:
Thank God oooooooh....


Thank God say no be pinick abi na picnic of a man

That guy sabi lobby ooooh


That guy really destroy our national team

What are you even saying? Pinnick was the best public administrator during his time in Nigeria and helped our football go far with respect from fifa

seunmsg:
This is a video of an event that was recorded on the 11th of December, 1999. No sensible person will even put Tinubu's age at 50 year as at when this video was taken not to talk of 63 according to desperate Atiku.

He actually looked 65 here but instead of Atiku let Tinubu continue. And may he not leave there o till he finishes because we can not afford the country in the hands of Osama bin ladin

Ezeama400:
Ok, nice one from His Majesties, glad they have made their positions known.

Any restructuring that is not based of ethnicities is dead on arrival..

South west lumped the whole Yoruba in Delta, Kogi and Kwara, then expect Igbos to accept the existing structure..

If they are sure about their position, why not put it to vote for people to decide where they want to belong..?

Igbos, stop being politically correct because such behaviour will come back and hurt us..

This is not the case .
The king coronation is September so His Royal Majesty is moving round to Kings like himself to invite them personally as tradition demands .

Any other thing you say to push your narrative is left for you

Very wicked APC

Too wicked

dgitrader:
Everyone knows the guy is a scam, and the agency is just a tool to launder funds.

After two years with nothing to show, now he is "set to launch" what is statutory duty of states and LGAs. Such a failure of ideas

And why has states and LGA s not done anything about it since Nigeria was created ?

keemsleek:
PDP una support for almost 16 years, didn't fix that road. Una no shout, but una won make Tinubu fix all Nigeria roads in 3yrs. You were all shouting as if the road was neglected, while it has been given out for construction.

Nigerians smh....

What are you saying?

That road was constructed during obj PDP

Racoon:
See how govt officials now see their citizens - no sense of probity, accountability and responsibility.

So a whooping $5 billion will be spent without the expenditure appropriately detailed for the citizens to be carried along? the expenditure appropriately detailed for the citizens to be carried along?

Nigeria indeed is in a terrible quagmire of bad governance, failed leadership. It is quite embarrassing that the inordinate lack of regard by these unscrupulous elements in power is causing this nation so much economic burdens.

Thieves now becoming bold in this government and Nigerians are just too tired to talk .

Serap not talking again, soyinka not saying anything again

AhmedPeacemaker:
Story! Story!! Story!!!

U.S. Attorney Pirro is set to release the file, but don’t expect anything meaningful from it.
From all indications, the FBI file has been edited and the indictment against President Tinubu has been removed.
I don’t think there’s anything incriminating in that file anymore.
It looks like international politics is being played here, and the matter is already settled.
The President isn’t bothered at all — he’s calm and is even laughing at Atiku Abubakarvright now.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the Nigerian Government is the one pushing for the release of the file just to score cheap political points.
My take: every damaging record has been removed.
The FBI, CIA, and even Donald Trump are aware of it.
All records have been cleared.

Your submission says s lot about the president being guilty of the said crime

Globalscholar1:
Every day on the Nairaland Education board, I see variations of the exact same question: “I have a total maximum budget of ₦10 Million. Which country can I go to?”

The typical response? A flood of aggressive agents dropping generic lists of destinations. They tell you exactly what you want to hear: "Go to Poland! Go to Russia! Try Cyprus! ₦10M will cover everything easily!"

Let me stop you right there before you or your parents spend a lifetime of hard-earned savings.

In 2026/2027, the most dangerous financial mistake a Nigerian applicant can make is treating a ₦10 Million budget as a country's destination ticket rather than a hard financial ceiling.

₦10M is a budget, not a destination.

The correct question is never simply "Which country is the cheapest?" The real question you must answer before sending 1 Kobo to any school or agent is:
“Which complete study pathway can I realistically afford from the first application fee, through the embassy gate, to the flight ticket, and your first three months of local survival before you even think of finding a part-time job?”

Let's look at the cold, hard numbers. With the official exchange rate hovering around ₦1,360 to ₦1,365 to $1 USD (Central Bank of Nigeria NFEM Rates, August 2026), ₦10 Million gives you roughly $7,325 USD or €6,740 EUR at official windows. If you are sourcing funds through parallel market channels, that same ₦10M shrinks significantly due to the prevailing premium.

If the mandatory financial requirement alone exceeds what you can realistically demonstrate, that pathway may already be incompatible with a ₦10M ceiling — before tuition, travel and settlement costs are even considered. You cannot force a pathway that your ceiling cannot sustain.

💡 THE ₦10M REALITY CHECK: GROSS BUDGET VS. USABLE FUNDS

Many applicants make the mistake of thinking: "If a school's tuition is €3,000, and I have ₦10M (~€6,740), I am fully cleared!" It is a massive trap.

Your gross budget is ₦10 Million. But your usable money for studying shrinks drastically because of a long list of upfront costs. Let's break down exactly what your ₦10M must pay for before you ever set foot in a foreign lecture hall:

* Application Fees & Courier Services: International applications often cost between $50 and $150 per university.
* Document Processing & Legalization: Staff verification fees at your Nigerian university, WAEC scratch cards, plus the cost of authenticating your certificates at both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja.
* Tuition Deposit: Most universities require a non-refundable deposit or a full semester's/year's payment upfront to issue your official acceptance letter.
* Embassy Fees & VFS Global Charges: Visa application fees, appointment booking fees, and mandatory courier fees.
* Official Proof of Funds (POF): The liquid cash you must show in a bank account to prove to an immigration officer that you will not become a destitute student.
* Mandatory Travel Insurance & Medicals: High-coverage insurance policies valid for the Schengen area or your specific destination.
* Flight Tickets: A single ticket from Lagos or Abuja can consume anywhere from ₦1.2M to over ₦2.5M depending on the airline and destination.
* Initial Local Living Expenses: Money to survive your first 60 to 90 days (rent deposit, local transport, feeding, winter clothing) while settling in.
* Emergency Reserve & Currency Fluctuations: A critical safety cushion. If the Naira drops mid-process, your budget must not collapse.

📊 THE 2026/2027 REALITY AT A GLANCE

Country  | Indicative Tuition Range | Living Cost Consideration | ₦10M Reality                             | Major Caution

Malaysia | $3,000 - $5,000 / year   | $300 - $450 / month       | Potentially workable for selected routes | Part-time work highly restricted
Poland   | €2,000 - €4,000 / year   | €350 - €500 / month       | Tight / highly dependent on profile      | Rigid separate liquid bank balance
Hungary  | €2,500 - €5,000 / year   | €400 - €600 / month       | Tight / highly dependent on profile      | Varies by sponsor and institution
Russia   | $1,800 - $4,000 / year   | Low ($200 - $350/mo)      | Workable on paper; high operational risk  | Complex banking/sanctions issues
Canada/UK| $15,000 - $25,000+ / year| High ($1,200+/mo)         | Generally unrealistic as total budget   | Living POF alone exceeds ₦10M

[size=14pt]🔎 COUNTRIES THAT MAY BE WORTH INVESTIGATING WITH A ₦10M CEILING[/size]

1. MALAYSIA 🇲🇾
Malaysia remains one of the more promising options to investigate where a ₦10M budget can reasonably cover your first year's tuition, visa processing, and basic initial living expenses.
* Tuition Ranges: $3,000 to $5,000 per year for standard Business, IT, or Engineering degrees at private institutions (such as Asia Pacific University or SEGi University). Public universities can be cheaper but offer limited international seats.
* Living Costs: Estimated at $300 to $450 monthly for a shared room, utilities, and meals.
* Visa & Financial Requirements: Regulated centrally via the Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS). Official guidelines look for a maintenance threshold of approximately RM 1,500 (~$340 USD) per month (Malaysia Visa Requirements, Educations.com). However, the exact closing balance required on your sponsor's bank statement is not universally fixed; it varies depending on your selected institution's internal policies and individual course structures.
* Language & Instruction: Broadly available. English-taught programs are the standard for international students; no local language barrier exists in higher education.
* Work Rules: Heavily restricted. Under official Malaysian immigration laws, international students are legally allowed to work only 20 hours per week, strictly during semester breaks, and only in specified casual sectors (e.g., hotels, petrol stations). Do not build your budget around working in Malaysia to pay your tuition.
* Suitability: Works well for both Undergraduate and Master's applicants due to predictable cost lines.

2. POLAND 🇵🇱
Poland is an entry point into the Schengen zone that can be explored with a ₦10M budget, but it requires selective planning and is tight for undergraduate durations.
* Tuition Ranges: €2,000 to €4,000 per year for English-taught programs at public universities in cities like Lodz, Lublin, or Poznan. Warsaw is significantly more expensive.
* Living Costs: Estimated at €350 to €500 per month. Public university dorms are highly competitive but offer the cheapest housing.
* Visa & Financial Requirements: The Polish government mandates that students demonstrate specific financial resources: a minimum of 9,312 PLN for basic living costs, plus dedicated funds covering your return transit (approx. 2,500 PLN) and the exact cost of your verified accommodation contract (Republic of Poland National Visa Guidelines). This separate financial requirement means you need roughly €3,500 to €4,000 in liquid savings alongside your tuition payment.
* The ₦10M Reality Check: If a university requires €3,000 tuition upfront, and the embassy requires €3,500 for POF, your baseline requirement is €6,500 (~₦8.8M to ₦9M depending on your bank's rate). When you add a flight ticket and legalization fees, you are operating at the absolute razor's edge of a ₦10M budget.
* Work Rules: Full-time work is legally permissible on a student visa. However, finding a job without conversational Polish is a significant practical consideration rather than a guaranteed outcome.
* Suitability: Most realistic for a 1.5-year Master's degree. A 3-to-4 year undergraduate pathway cannot be sustained on ₦10M without a guaranteed recurring source of funds from home.

3. HUNGARY 🇭🇺
Hungary is a viable alternative, particularly if you focus on public universities outside Budapest (such as Debrecen or Pecs) and select courses with lower fee brackets.
* Tuition Ranges: €2,500 to €4,500 annually.
* Living Costs: Approximately €400 to €600 per month for basic student upkeep.
* Visa & Financial Requirements: Hungarian immigration requires evidence of sufficient financial means. While some baseline sources cite a general threshold of roughly HUF 200,000 (~€520 EUR) per month (Hungary Visa Resource Guide), the exact financial evidence required is highly dependent on the individual applicant, course duration, and documentation. Having a corporate sponsor does not automatically exempt you from showing personal liquid funds; the visa officer looks closely at the overall credibility and cash flow of the sponsor.
* Language & Refund Policies: English-taught programs are widespread. Refund terms vary wildly by institution; some public universities deduct non-refundable administration fees of €200 to €500 if a visa is denied.
* Suitability: Highly suitable for Master's programs; tight but optional for Undergraduate pathways if parental sponsorship is continuous.

[size=14pt]⚠️ DESTINATIONS WHERE A ₦10M MAXIMUM BUDGET IS GENERALLY UNREALISTIC[/size]

* Canada, United Kingdom, USA, Australia: Let us be completely blunt. These countries are structurally closed to a total budget of ₦10M. For instance, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) mandates a single student show a minimum of $22,895 CAD solely for living expenses (IRCC Proof of Financial Support 2026 Guidelines). That mandatory financial proof alone—completely excluding tuition and your flight—is over ₦31 Million. Your budget is generally insufficient to satisfy the relevant financial and study costs.
* Cyprus & Northern Cyprus: It is critical to distinguish between the Republic of Cyprus (an EU member state) and Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Northern Cyprus is highly promoted by local agents as cheap, but degrees awarded there face deep international accreditation and recognition disputes depending on your intended profession and destination. You must verify recognition for YOUR specific field before committing funds.
* Georgia: Once an affordable option, rising local costs and highly selective visa processing parameters for Nigerian nationals mean it is no longer an environment suited for a tight, self-funded pathway under ₦10M.
* China: While tuition is competitive, immigration laws strictly regulate working as an international student. Under official rules, you can only undertake approved on-campus work or specialized internships with a formal endorsement on your residence permit (China Student Work Guidelines). You should never build your baseline budget around part-time work assumptions.

[size=14pt]🇷🇺 RUSSIA: A BALANCED LOOK AT THE FINANCIAL REALITY[/size]

Russia frequently shows up on "cheap study abroad" lists. Purely from a numbers standpoint, it fits a ₦10M ceiling, but you must evaluate the complex operational realities before proceeding.
* The Economics: Tuition fees are competitive, generally ranging from $1,800 to $4,000 per year depending on the course and city. Living costs are relatively low compared to Western Europe.
* The Banking & Remittance Challenge: Due to international sanctions, conventional international payments and remittances via the SWIFT network are heavily restricted or unavailable at many major Russian financial institutions. This does not mean it is impossible, but it significantly complicates tuition payments and family maintenance transfers. Applicants must establish a legitimate, workable payment method with their university BEFORE committing or traveling.
* Language & Instruction: While select English-taught programs exist, many technical and localized degrees require a preparatory Russian-language year (*Podfak*). This adds an extra calendar year of tuition and accommodation costs to your timeline.
* Geopolitical and Travel Context: Flight logistics from Nigeria are long and expensive, typically requiring multiple connections through hubs like Istanbul or Cairo. Degrees are recognized regionally, but international alignment depends heavily on your specific field and subsequent country regulations.

[size=14pt]❌ MEDICINE IS DIFFERENT: A CRITICAL WARNING FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS[/size]

If you are a student or a parent hoping to fund a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree abroad on a ₦10 Million maximum budget, you must re-evaluate your strategy immediately. Medicine is an entirely different financial and regulatory equation. A low tuition quote for Year 1 is a dangerous illusion.

1. Multi-Year Funding Strategy Required: Medical programs require continuous, multi-year funding blocks. If your total lifetime capacity is ₦10M, you risk running out of money mid-way through your training, and medical credits are notoriously difficult to transfer internationally. A cheap Year-1 tuition quote does not equal an affordable medical education.
2. Clinical Training & Language Barriers: Even if your university claims the course is "100% English-taught," by the time you reach clinical rotations, you must interact directly with real patients in local hospitals. If you cannot speak the local language fluently, your clinical interaction will be limited.
3. Regulatory & Licensing Frameworks: Do not take any agent's word regarding eligibility for licensing bodies like the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), ECFMG (US), or GMC (UK). For instance, the MDCN has strict regulations regarding physical clinical training hours and institutional approvals. Applicants must independently verify current requirements directly with the relevant regulator in the country where they intend to practice.

[size=14pt]🗒️ THE "BEFORE YOU PAY ANYONE" CHECKLIST[/size]

Before you convert a single Naira to foreign currency or transfer funds to any institution, demand clear answers to these three questions:
* What is the exact, unedited refund policy? Request the official university refund terms in writing. If the embassy denies your visa, does the school refund 100% of the tuition? Do they retain a non-refundable administrative fee? Crucially, how many months does the refund take? Some public European institutions take 6 to 9 months to process international refunds, effectively freezing your family's capital.
* Are you using a realistic exchange rate calculation? Never calculate your budget using the mid-market rate you see on a casual Google search. Calculate using the actual, real-world rate your bank or outbound money operator charges you to process the transaction.
* What are the mandatory localized institutional fees? Does the university require a mandatory campus registration fee, library card fee, or localized health insurance payment upon arrival? These small, unadvertised fees can add up to €500 or €800 very quickly.

[size=14pt]⚠️ THE BIGGEST MISTAKE: COPYING ANOTHER STUDENT'S BUDGET[/size]

The most expensive mistake you can make on Nairaland is copying someone else’s budget framework. Just because a user named "Chidi2024" or "Abubakar_M" posted that they made it to Europe with ₦8.5 Million does not mean it will work for you in 2026/2027.

Why? Because their profile is completely different from yours. They may have a direct sibling residing locally who is providing free accommodation. They may have a corporate sponsor with a massive tax clearance history that satisfied an embassy visa officer without needing frozen cash. Your age, academic background, study level, sponsor structure and financial history can significantly affect which pathways are realistic for you.

[size=14pt]💡 SO, WHAT SHOULD YOU ACTUALLY DO WITH A ₦10M BUDGET?[/size]

Don't start by asking:
“Which country can I enter with ₦10M?”

Start with:
“What can MY ₦10M realistically achieve based on my qualification, course, age, country preference and funding situation?”

Because two people can have exactly the same ₦10M and still have completely different options.

One may be looking for a Bachelor's degree.
Another may already have a BSc and be looking for a Master's.
One may have a strong sponsor with verifiable income.
Another may be completely self-funded.
One may need a country where English-taught programmes are available.
Another may be targeting Medicine, where recognition, clinical training and long-term licensing become much more important than simply finding cheap tuition.

That's why I don't believe in giving students a random list of “cheap countries” and telling them to pick one.

The country is only one part of the decision. Your academic profile + intended course + budget + funding structure + visa requirements + long-term plan all have to make sense together.

[size=14pt]👇 LET'S MAKE THIS THREAD USEFUL[/size]

If you're currently working with a budget around ₦10M, you can drop your general situation below:

• Qualification: WAEC / HND / BSc / etc.
• Intended course:
• Approximate age:
• Maximum budget:
• Country you're considering:
• Target intake:

No passport numbers, phone numbers, bank statements or other private documents.

Let's see what people are actually considering with a ₦10M ceiling — and whether the popular “cheap” destinations people recommend online really make sense for different profiles.

If you don't want to put your situation publicly, you can also send me a private message through my Nairaland profile.

And if you need your own academic profile, finances, sponsor situation and intended destination properly assessed rather than relying on a generic comment, that is something I handle privately as well.

The goal isn't simply to leave Nigeria. The goal is to choose a pathway you can actually afford, enter legally, sustain financially, and complete. ‼️

Sometimes you wonder why somethings happen

Drawnear:
Somewhere in Johannesburg, Lagos, or Nairobi tonight, a graduate is folding a certificate into a drawer and walking out to sell recharge cards on the street. He did everything right. The system kept its promise to teach him. It broke its promise to employ him profitably. Multiply him by tens of millions, and you do not have a youth unemployment crisis. You have a curriculum catastrophe. Curriculum is a nation's engine and its operating system at once — get the engine wrong, and the car never leaves the driveway; get the operating system wrong, and every application built on top of it — jobs, industries, GDP — crashes.

THE CHINA SHOCKWAVE
Between 2021 and 2025, China's Ministry of Education revoked 12,200 undergraduate programmes and introduced 10,200 new ones — over 30 percent of the national curriculum rewritten in five years. Dead: arts, humanities, foreign languages, traditional management. Resurrected: artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence, robotics, semiconductors, agricultural automation. Over that window, China's economy grew from $14.7 trillion to $19.5 trillion. Africa, with a comparable population, moved from $2.7 trillion to $2.82 trillion — essentially standing still. The difference is not luck, It is curriculum, treated as economic infrastructure in one place and ceremonial tradition in the other.
South Africa's youth unemployment hit 60.9 percent in early 2026. In Nigeria, over 80 percent of "employed" graduates are trapped in low-productivity informal work no degree prepared them for. The jobs are not missing — the WEF projects 170 million new global roles by 2030, and Deloitte estimates the semiconductor industry alone needs over one million additional skilled workers by 2030. Our youth are not perishing for lack of jobs. They are perishing for lack of relevant skill.

THE DIASPORA MIRROR
And lest anyone blame Africa's economy alone, follow the graduate abroad. Land him in Toronto, London, or Houston — remove every excuse about local jobs — and the pattern repeats. Indian and Chinese graduates arrive in the same cities and, within a generation, are disproportionately the ones opening businesses: Indian Americans alone now own roughly 60% of the hotels in the United States, among the highest rates of business formation of any immigrant group in the West. African graduates, trained in the same universities the diaspora produces, too often arrive with degrees built for job-seeking, not wealth-creation — and end up driving for Uber or staffing care homes, not owning the platforms or the facilities. This is not a verdict on the graduate's ability. It is a verdict on what his curriculum trained him to become: an employee, not an owner. Twenty years in a classroom should not conclude with a steering wheel and a ride-share app. That is not a diaspora failure. It is a colonial curriculum, still teaching Africans to seek a master's payroll instead of building their own.

THE THREE-TIER FIX
Tier 1 — the technical core: AI, semiconductors, embedded systems, robotics, new materials, biotechnology — the hard infrastructure of the coming economy.
Tier 2 — the human operating system: critical thinking, complex problem-solving, communication, creativity, collaboration, leadership, and entrepreneurship — mandatory for every student, every discipline.
Tier 3 — the Taipei model: academia must stop designing curricula in isolation. Taiwan builds courses the way Taipei Tech and TSMC build them — jointly, reviewed annually, with industry empowered to kill any course that has stopped producing value.

THE CALL
To governments: stop funding ceremony. Treat curriculum as infrastructure. If a programme keeps producing unemployed graduates, revoke its accreditation. To universities: open your gates. Co-author your courses with industry, every year, or keep training for an economy that no longer exists. And to parents; you are partially responsible for the depression most youths are suffering from today: stop sending your children to study DEAD DEGREES!

THE PhD RECKONING
The reform must reach the summit of the academic pyramid, because the crisis is not only undergraduate — it is at its most absurd at the doctoral level. Africa is producing PhDs by the thousands, many parading titles that add zero value to society: theories defended before five examiners and then buried, never touching a farm, a factory, a hospital, or a policy desk. China does not confer its highest degree this way. No African university should either. From today, no doctoral topic should be approved unless it is bound, in writing, to producing or innovating something the nation can point to — a technology built, a yield increased, a disease addressed, a system fixed. A PhD must be a contract with the nation, not a private meditation rewarded with a title. If it cannot name what it produced, it should not be conferred.

WELCOME TO THE CHIP CIVILIZATION
Every smartphone, every fighter jet, every AI model runs on semiconductors — and Africa is absent from that table. New Horizons Africa Group is changing that. This academic season, we launch Africa's first Semiconductor Knowledge Transfer Program, in direct partnership with Taiwan — the home of the modern chip, birthplace of TSMC, the island that turned technical education into a national security asset. African undergraduates will train in semiconductor design, engineering, and fabrication, with the opportunity of an internship inside a semiconductor factory in Taiwan, before they even graduate — taught by the ecosystem that actually builds the world's chips. Not a theory of semiconductors. The thing itself, transferred directly from source to soil. The verdict has been written: Africa must kill the dead degrees, or the dead degrees will kill Africa.
We are pulling up a chair to the table — and bringing the tools to build at it.

PREPARING HUMANS FOR SPACE
One more frontier deserves the same honesty. Humanity is moving toward becoming a multi-planetary species — SpaceX alone has poured over a decade and tens of billions of dollars into that goal. Whether it arrives in one decade or three matters less than this: the skills for it — closed-loop life support, off-world energy, autonomous robotics — are being built right now, in curricula from Beijing to Austin. Not one African university has asked what it will take to keep a human alive on another world. A continent that cannot enter that conversation has already conceded the century before it begins. The hour is late. The inertia is unaffordable.

Universities are factories of human capital, and no sane factory manufactures without first securing a market. China builds its curriculum backward from the job —she treats curriculum as a means, employment as the end. Africa builds its curriculum forward from tradition, and calls the certificate itself the end

Or are you still wondering why Africa's curriculum produces 60 percent youth unemployment?

Globalscholar1:
It can be enough but “I was a manager” by itself isn't the strongest evidence.

Chevening isn't simply rewarding people because they have impressive job titles. What matters is the leadership, influence, relationships and measurable change behind the experience.

So someone working in a normal company can absolutely build a strong Chevening application.

The mistake is turning the essay into a job description.

“Managed 5 people” = responsibility.

“Identified a problem, influenced my team/stakeholders to change the approach, implemented a solution and achieved a measurable result” = leadership and influence.

That's the distinction I'm making.

More like in depth analysis and person's skills and approach to solving and influencing decisions.
The maturity and independence, dexterity and exposed mind .

More like having a dependable and resilient person ready to take on the world regardless ur age nor little experience

LabStores:
Organized religions will always attract humans.

Religion is one of the oldest and most sophisticated frameworks ever created for managing the terrifying space between what we know and what we desperately want to know.

It gives death a narrative.
It gives suffering a meaning.
It gives morality a structure.
It gives fear a language.
It gives hope somewhere to live.

And perhaps most importantly, it gives human beings a psychological mechanism for controlling themselves when nobody else is watching.

Because the human animal is not governed entirely by reason. We are driven by desire, fear, greed, lust, anger, status, survival and the need to belong. Civilization discovered very early that laws can control behaviour only when someone is watching.

Religion introduced something more powerful:

A watcher who never sleeps.

Whether that watcher objectively exists is a philosophical and theological question. The psychological effect of believing that the watcher exists is a different question entirely.

Heaven and hell become incentives and deterrents.
Sin becomes internal surveillance.
Repentance becomes psychological correction.
Ritual becomes behavioural conditioning.
Community becomes social reinforcement.
Faith becomes a mechanism for tolerating uncertainty.

And this is where religion becomes fascinating.

You don't necessarily need to prove that humans are stupid to explain religion. You only need to recognize that humans are fragile creatures trapped inside an existence they barely understand.

We fear death while being unable to investigate it from the other side.

We crave justice while living in a universe that appears completely indifferent to whether justice happens.

We want meaning while nature provides no obvious instruction manual.

So we construct one.

Call it religion.
Call it philosophy.
Call it ideology.
Call it spirituality.
Call it science when science is asked questions it cannot yet answer.

The labels change.

The psychological problem remains.

As long as humans remain conscious enough to ask "What happens when I die?" and incapable of obtaining a definitive answer, organized religion will have fertile ground.

Perhaps religion survives not because humans are incapable of thinking.

Perhaps it survives because thinking deeply about existence eventually confronts us with the limits of what we can know.

And humans have never been particularly good at staring into an abyss without giving the abyss a name...

Ok

What will Amaechi tell the Rivers people or SS People? That he was the DG of a campaign that stopped the first SS President in Nigeria from getting second term? What did he do for Rivers as a Super A Minister? He should point them out? He spearheaded the cabal that removed a SS Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Onoghen from office, what will be his excuse? He led the military to harass Rivers State Judges, shut down courts, what will be his reasons? Amaechi was a governor, he couldn't win election for his preferred successor, he was Buhari’s DG twice, he lost election in Rivers twice for Buhari. Since 1999, some people were close to Obasanjo, some to Jonathan, Buhari, what did they bring to Rivers? Tinubu is the first President that constructed road to Bodo Bonny, today people no longer go to bonny by water, now there is road to the isolated island.”

PIDOMSON–DAVID: WHY RIVERS PEOPLE MUST SHAKE HANDS WITH THE FUTURE



There comes a moment in the life of a people when political choices must rise above sentiment, ethnic calculations and familiar political rhetoric. For Rivers State, that moment is approaching.

If what Rivers people genuinely desire is competent, inclusive, accountable and progressive leadership, then the people must be prepared to examine the Pidomson–David ticket with an open mind and judge it on the strength of its vision, character, preparedness and capacity to serve.

Rivers State belongs to all of us.

It does not belong to one individual. It does not belong to a political dynasty. It does not belong to one ethnic nationality. It belongs equally to the sons and daughters of Rivers State—whether from Rivers South-East, Rivers West, Rivers East or any other part of our diverse State.

Our diversity should be our strength, not a weapon for political division.

THE QUESTION RIVERS PEOPLE MUST ASK

At this point in our political journey, every voter should ask one simple question:

“What kind of Rivers State do I want my children and grandchildren to inherit?”

Do we want a State where governance is driven by consultation, competence and inclusion?

Do we want leadership that gives every community a sense of belonging?

Do we want young people to have meaningful opportunities?

Do we want women, professionals, entrepreneurs and vulnerable citizens to have a voice?

Do we want a government that treats public office as a responsibility rather than personal possession?

These are the questions that should guide our political choices.

Rivers people must therefore look beyond political slogans and ask candidates what they intend to do, how they intend to do it and whether they possess the character and capacity to deliver.

WHY PIDOMSON–DAVID?

The growing conversation around His Excellency Sir Dr. Gabriel Baritulem Pidomson and his running mate, Hon. David Amapakaye Okumgba, is rooted in the belief that Rivers State deserves a leadership team prepared to bring together competence, experience, inclusiveness and a fresh approach to governance.

Their emergence has created another opportunity for Rivers people to consider a political alternative built around broader participation and a stronger connection with the grassroots.

The State needs leaders who understand that government is not about one person making every decision. It is about institutions, consultation, accountability and giving citizens confidence that their voices matter.

This is why the message of Pidomson resonates with many Rivers people: leadership must return to the people.

RIVERS IS BIGGER THAN POLITICS

Rivers State is blessed with enormous human and economic potential. We have oil and gas resources, fertile communities, a vibrant commercial environment, talented youths, hardworking women and professionals capable of competing anywhere in the world.

Yet our greatest resource remains our people.

The next administration must therefore create an environment where talent is rewarded, enterprise is encouraged, communities are developed and citizens can pursue their ambitions without discrimination.

We need a leadership that can bring people together—not one that constantly reminds us of our differences.

We need a government that sees the entire State as its constituency.

ENOUGH OF EMPTY RHETORIC

Rivers people should also learn to distinguish between political rhetoric and genuine leadership.

A politician who speaks beautifully but cannot explain how ordinary citizens will benefit from his policies should be questioned.

A politician who remembers the people only during elections should be questioned.

A politician whose political vision begins and ends with personal interest should be questioned.

The electorate must demand substance.

What is the plan for employment?
What is the plan for education?
What is the plan for healthcare?
What is the plan for security?
What is the plan for rural communities?
What is the plan for small businesses?
What is the plan for young people and women?
What is the plan for sustainable development?

These are the issues that should determine the future of Rivers State.

GPSO: BUILDING FROM THE GRASSROOTS

This is where the Gabriel Pidomson Support Organisation (GPSO) continues to position itself as a grassroots-oriented movement.

GPSO is working to build structures across the 23 Local Government Areas, wards and polling units while encouraging membership expansion, voter education, stakeholder engagement, youth and women participation, community consultations and political enlightenment.

Our approach is simple: take the message to the people and allow the people to make informed choices.

We are not building a movement based on intimidation or exclusion. We are building a movement based on engagement, organisation, discipline and participation.

GPSO will continue to extend its hands of partnership and collaboration to traditional rulers, community leaders, professionals, youth and women organisations, religious leaders, civil society groups, market associations, political stakeholders and every well-meaning Rivers citizen who desires a better future for the State.

THE FUTURE MUST BE COLLECTIVE

The 2027 election should not become another contest of ethnic arithmetic. It should be an opportunity to decide what kind of leadership Rivers State needs.

No single ethnic group can develop Rivers State alone.

No individual can represent every interest alone.

But together, our different communities can build a State where everyone belongs.

That is the Rivers State we should be working towards.

That is the Rivers State GPSO believes is possible.

And that is why we invite Rivers people to examine the Pidomson–David ticket, participate in the democratic process and make their decisions based on competence, character, inclusion and the future they want.

The future is not inherited.

It is built by the choices we make today.

GPSO remains committed, organised and ready to continue its grassroots engagement across Rivers State.

We invite everyone who believes in peaceful democratic participation, inclusive leadership and a better future to join us.

Let us shake hands with the future.
Let us shake hands with hope.
Let us shake hands with progress.
Let us shake hands with Pidomson and David.

Rivers State belongs to all of us.

Bcoz he doesn't have work

That function is better than having meetings with people lobbying for government contracts and corruption

runningriot:
It is imperative to state that this is classical fallacy, that is very much impossible... As a president you have so many engagements that you can't even imagine seeing your family some days let alone visiting every secondary school in Nigeria that is astronomically insurmountable. Campaign should be issue base and not propagandas. Political rhetorics should not be amplified when soliciting for votes rather it should be achieved through the paradigm and reality on ground...

He can visit every secondary school under federal government preview
Yes he can

Dear Ladies,

The style in picture A is beautiful. Nobody is disputing that.

What we want you to UNDERSTAND is that the style in picture B is also beautiful and most of us prefer it because it brings out your true facial beauty, it is culturally familiar and it evokes nostalgia.

It has nothing to do with being broke.

I love my woman on B
I am always all over her like children playing with their favourite toys .

The A is also good but it's too heavy on the hand ,too serious for playful dispositions with my beloved

Sowore wont win any election like this. There are issues you let go. Is it now they know they all have to visit it again? 5 mths to election? Lol.... Tinubu has given them the same distraction they fell for in 2023. Lol.

By now, Sowore should have been in the senate for 8 years, but he keeps doing it wrongly. Mayne he only wants to be remembered for just criticizing in vain. He needs to get on board and start showing these people how it shoukd be done. He needs to start winning elections instead of just making himself a loser. Sowore is too gifted to not win any election and not hold any public office na. This man is just too intelligent. Why is he messing up like this sef? He wants to become Atiku or what? Atiku become a VP na. Even as irritating and nauseating as Dino can be at times, he won an election because of this same Sowore na. Dino ran to his office in NY to pretend he was also a freedom fighter, all for him to enter and ported to Saraki's corner. And he ditched Saraki too to feast on Atiku's dollars. Lol.

Sowore needs to win an election na.

SportblitsNews:
Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi and Super Falcons midfielder Jennifer Echegini have sparked plenty of curiosity among Nigerian football fans because of their striking resemblance.

Despite the similarities, Iwobi and Echegini are not siblings. Echegini was born in the Netherlands to Nigerian parents and moved to England with her family at the age of 11, while Iwobi was born in Lagos and is the nephew of Nigerian football legend Jay-Jay Okocha.

Both players have, however, established themselves as important figures for Nigeria. Iwobi has been a regular member of the Super Eagles, while Echegini has risen through the ranks to become a key player for the Super Falcons.

Their similar looks have continued to fuel questions online, but there is no known family relationship between the two Nigerian internationals.

They do not look alike so why the matter arising?
