Education › Re: FG Bars Graduation Ceremony For Pre-Pry 6, SS3 Pupils, Orders Reuse Of Textbooks by phineas: 9:33pm On Jan 09
These 2 policies are an embarrassment to the whole nation

1. Reuse of textbooks is a crime.its against ethics. Just think piracy.how an entire nations education sector does not know this beats me.

The authors did not produce their book to be reused or photocopied

The country literarily justified poverty by giving kids old textbooks previously used ,who does that.whay does it cost them to budget for free learning resources,or produce books that can have open source or free use

How do we justify this kain poverty thinking

Sweden buys 1000 copies of any books published in it's country our own people are asking teachers to erase books to be reused. Education minister should be sacked for this alone

2. As for graduation for primary and secondary,all of them are not well again. Let parents and schools who choose to celebrate milestones that keep kids in school if they choose to,that's not what the ministry should be regulating

It's just another example of a stupid sub national policy from akwa ibom national is adopting as if they don't have brain

Which stakeholders did they ask before scrapping it? Those are things that should be optional and definitely not national policy

Village education minister we have here...

Kudos to the Nigerian team

Politics › Re: Boko Haram Survivor Recounts Years Of Brutal Slavery After Refusing To Convert by phineas:
Saudi arabia the supposed home base of islam does not tolerate these radical teachings that promote terrorism

They are strict on monitoring mosques and deporting or arresting imams that promote such

I saw a clip where one of their ministers was saying they had deported over 1000 such potential radical teachers in a short period

They said to the European counterpart paraphrased "you are been politically correct with extremism, cannot know islam more than us"

Some even said naija own gumi is persona non grata there

Saudi clamps hard on terrorism financiers have you seen their sentence there?

So why and how does Nigeria that's predominantly sunni have this sort of evil?

Is islam not just an excuse for inherent evil in some people? If so why do other muslims endorse these evil doers with heir silence
Politics › Re: Petrol Price War Fallout: NMDPRA, NUPRC Bosses Resign As Dangote Petition Shake by phineas: 10:19am On Dec 18, 2025
The numbers again according to this article

1.5billion litres import approved in November

( the highest since the refineries started functioning,that's enough to make dangote crazy)

while some are thinking maybe for oble in December, then we read....

7.5 billion approved for importation first quarter of 2026.(Make it make sense...)

again what's the gap per quater after factoring in local production and wastage, so another person doesn't come repeat the same crap
Politics › Re: Farouk Facing Probe Over Move To Pay Marketers ₦200bn Bridging Claims, Dangote A by phineas: 6:14pm On Dec 17, 2025
And we must not let anyone derail the topic... The issue again is the volume of fuel been imported appropriate to gaps in the market after local production is accounted for or is it in excess

It's a simple question the regulatory agency must answer

And the bridging fees matter,is that not another payout in disguise

Nigerians don't like to be accountable

The agency should bring the maths for the specified period

-Total official country petrol needs or consumption =x litres
-Total fuel produced in country by local refineries=x litres
-Gap=x litres
-Approved import=x litres

Simple as abc the job of the regulatory agency and sabotage if any will be clear... Someone should please bring those estimates let us see something
Politics › Re: Farouk Facing Probe Over Move To Pay Marketers ₦200bn Bridging Claims, Dangote A by phineas: 5:53pm On Dec 17, 2025
No one is saying to cancel all importation, the question is the volume been approved for importation over said period


Is it an unfair balance to production by local refineries,that is are they creating to much surplus... If yes,then they are sabotaging local production towards favoring importers and that is cruel to dangote and generations unborn

A supply chain analyst can review this and give fact based report. and if anyone in the agency is found obtaining personal proceeds to enable such then,that's economic sabotage,shikena

You cannot kill local refineries by importing excessive surplus and expect local production to thrive
Politics › Re: ICPC Confirms Receipt Of Dangote's Petition by phineas:
National interest must come first in this matter

Nigeria should be exporting petrol not importing,how can everyone not see that?

Is that not common sense?

Taxes from our refineries can make us great. Compare Dangotes present taxes and our education budget.

The leadership of the regulatory agency must demonstrate how importing so much fuel benefits the country when we have a refinery in country.how do we convince non Nigerian investors to invest when this is happening to a Nigerian? How do we make the nations future better?

ICPC owes the nation and future generations due diligence in this matter.

All eyes are on you
Politics › Re: Dangote Accuses NMDPRA CEO, Farouk Of Spending $5M On Kids' Fees, Seeks Probe by phineas: 6:57am On Dec 15, 2025
So the ordered import of so much fuel when a local company is producing

Is that not economic sabotage for the country

Shouldn't regulatory body ensure our local product is mopped up first before imports, the same imports that crippled the country for years

Talk about personal gains over national interest

Every well meaning Nigerian should side with dangote on this.Dangote alone can transform a lot from taxes on his refinery...it took courage to fly that venture,how can the nation look aside while it's been sabotaged and we say we want growth for the nation

thriving industries are crucial to growth
Politics › Re: Surrender Now – Northern Women Tell Bello Turji After Death Of Buzu, Others by phineas: 6:43am On Dec 15, 2025
Northern women should speak up more

Condem banditry and terrorism in all it's ramifications in society.condem men that kill and steal other peoples children in t name of religion or whatever guise

Condemn it in religion and every part of society

A generation is growing that never knew the calm beautiful kind and peaceful north.

The women of the north,your voices are powerful...you all should speak up

Now as for that turji,if he likes he should not surrender,global eyes are on him now...
Politics › Re: Nigeria A Secular Nation; Don't Subject Christians To Sharia Law - Sultan by phineas:
P1PrinceKT:
Northern Christians are dot in a circle.
Also Northern Christians if truly they're Northerners (not migrated from somewhere) they know how to relate with the Muslims over there, because they too were born there. They know what to say, when to say and where to say it.

Mostly those affected are immigrants.
This is a lie you all perpetuate repeatedly

Nigeria has 500 different languages,

More than 70,% of these are In the north, Zamfara alone is a melting point of many languages,the number will shock you. They are not hausa, same with gombe and others. Many are Christians and non muslims,they don't speak hausa primarily

Someone needs to cross tabulate the communities been wiped off by the languages they speak

Half of Niger State speaks Yoruba,the parts of Niger under incessant terrorist attack is Yoruba speaking. Kainji,mokwa and it's environs are Yoruba communities

So how did you arrive again at your dot in the circle in the north.
Politics › Re: Nigeria A Secular Nation; Don't Subject Christians To Sharia Law - Sultan by phineas: 9:04am On Dec 12, 2025
This speech sounds like an excuse.

It reads like it's saying we don't extend sharia to non muslims

Is that true?
Is that really really true?

Do Christians really live without harassment from hisbah in the north

The first thing to be done is disband that hisbah completely. If they want to exist they should go and face terrorists in the bush by Insisting kidnapping is sharia,anything short of that their existence while also carrying guns is an aberration

That said waiting to hear the sultan use Islamic teachings to condemn the kidnapping of students,and adults of both religion for ransom in he name of islam...

Waiting for his strong condemnation. Those will be powerful as a deterrent.Indeed we wait sir,also add a call to action to all your followers to wholesomely condemn anyone involved

These are weighty allegations

Hope they have true evidence and it's not any form of witch-hunting

Terrorism funding should not be played with if they are false accusations. It places the risk of not taking real financers seriously over time because everyone will assume it's witch hunting

Education › Re: Niger: Governor Bago Receives 100 Rescued Catholic School Pupils (pix) by phineas: 11:51pm On Dec 08, 2025
Someone should help with the pictures of the children rerurned covered in sand ( it's on linda ikejis page)

This is important for posterity sake so we see how there are little kids there... Little kids were taken, obviously they were not taken care of or kept in good conditions

As at now the numbers need to be reviewed and roll calls reviewed,was everyone including their teachers all returned. Does it account for ALL the schools especially these last few weeks or months

It's important that we don't accept half news or white washed representation.

As for FOMWAN,NASFAT and MSSN we never heard your condemnation or indignation on this matter. Shame on you all and your leadership.
Education › Re: Niger: Governor Bago Receives 100 Rescued Catholic School Pupils (pix) by phineas: 10:48pm On Dec 08, 2025
The numbers are not adding up with prior reports .... The niger state Catholic diocese should do an audit of the abduction of students and pupils and teachers these last 2 months and give us the numbers

How many abducted,how many rescued

Non must be left behind like leah sharibu.. I repeat leave no one, we must leave no one behind!

If there's any unaccounted for it must be clear to all and why
Politics › Re: Nigeria Now Receiving Support From US, UK, France To Fight Terrorism - Ribadu by phineas: 11:25am On Dec 07, 2025
While at it,they should get leah sharibu back and whoever she married. The country cannot abandon her.

Her crime again,she refused to convert voluntarily to islam under pressure,that's why she was left behind wasn't it?

For those saying she refused to come back,take her to her parents first and let her tell them herself
Politics › Re: Nigeria Now Receiving Support From US, UK, France To Fight Terrorism - Ribadu by phineas:
Just so everyone remembers these are over 300 persons ,200 plus are kids

Some nursery and primary

"They are were they are and will be back soon"... They are not on excursion.they have been kidnapped by cruel terrorists in africa

Let us remember and keep that in perspective

Their kidnappers should by all means release them immediately.every country and leader enabling ,supporting them and financing them are also complicit.

Someone here said ,They used choppers to pick them up,asked for cefa so it's possible they've crossed borders, why is interpol not involved at this stage?

Who kidnapped nursery and primary kids from school anywhere in the world? And we say they are where they are....

I'm certain this crime counts as a war crime one way or the other and the perpetuators ,enablers and financers must be brought to international justice

That said every Muslim MUST speak out loudly against this heinous act, shaming and denouncing it as not islam endorsed... So far them and their leadership have mostly been quiet...

Politics › Re: Senate Summons Key Ministers Over Failed $30m Safe School Plan To Prevent Kidnap by phineas: 1:11pm On Dec 04, 2025
First of all,go and secure the release of the nursery, primary and secondary school children kidnapped in the Catholic school in niger state,and their teachers

I don't get how that is not an emergency, the same way the Muslim girls of kebbi were released,why have they not been released

They are not to be confused with the other set kidnapped that same month In the same niger state that appears to have been released so far. The Catholic 300 plus kids and teachers. Including nursery and primary kids Have the been released

Again to all Muslim women silent on this matter, book haram and banditry is trying to stop your daughters and other children from having a future in the name of your religion and you are all silent. You all are complicit on the day of judgement. Is it not the same religion in Saudi? Can these happen there? Mothers and wives stop enabling and endorsing extremism with your silence.

To the trackers, track the children first before the money, the children first. since they were taken with helicopters call interpol if it's a cross border crime. We must not loose those kids

Thank you

Can it be that Wike also forgot that all households need to be supplied with water, despite increasing the tax burden on Abuja residents for revenue growth that is not paid into the TSA account like other federal ministries, departments and agencies?
It would be silly indeed to risk loosing their lands by not paying a fee required by law,because they did not have water

That's the kind of thinking that makes them label africans with generalized low iqs. Doubt that's the case here.

That would be Penny wise pound foolish indeed

We need strategies that work to dislodge the terrorists

Start by listing the names and faces of their leadership for all and let them know they are marked. Take them out 1 by 1 if they refuse to surrender,

Israel did it and that way sending messages to everyone not to accept leadership of terrorist groups

Uniquely targeting them with modern technology may be the way out,Nigerian leadership should leverage on Nigerians in diaspora for tech support if need be, it's a new age battle strategy must evolve with the times

Politics › Re: BREAKING: Ododo Vows Tough Action As Bandit Commanders Relocate To Kogi State by phineas: 12:32am On Nov 28, 2025
Kogi that they have been kidnapping very poor villagers steady for years,will he say he does not know?

Is it now that he is just knowing?

Like not just travellers

Is it not where they shot an old woman for not been able to walk again after been kidnapped?

Shot a teenage girl in the presence of her mother,for not been able to walk after rapping her repeatedly with blood over her legs,

Called a street or area in village community to bring out all boys and men out one year like that and shot them all on the street and left

We read them all in the papers, and heard some from field workers in the state but yet they festered on

A particular tribe of kogi has enabled violence against priests and nuns regularly for many many years before all this.kidnapping and killing them was their style but then they restricted it to those priests and nuns any one in doubt should search old publications or research such crimes in the state.

Now uncontrolled they threaten the South west and the major road of the nation uncontrolled. They are also attempting harming Christians in their moderate or non muslim border villages and ondo state( remember the owo Catholic church masacre- first of its kind in South Western ondo... It was them testing grounds,ondo wasted no time making sure they were I masked and caught)

Why can kogi not do so? how are you all in kogi silent ,all these years you all have not reign them in , the news and gumi are now saying they are from your state...did you not know hitherto?

Are you not enablers like that?

Federation of MUSLIM women association (FOMWAN) to me is the greatest disappointment in this matter.

Pupils are now been kidnapped in Nigeria and mothers with their so called powerful roles in islam are silent.

NASFAT too..if it is to fight over the mundane they will start shouting quickly and rally themselves ,Now lives and atrocious crimes are committed here and the clowns are silent. Qatar and UAE are they not countries,don't you all wish for those climes with tolerance and no violence,even Saudi and UAE took action what's stops you?

You all are tacit enablers and history will judge you all poorly. the blood of the slain children,girls and men when it cries will cry against all that could have said something to stall or end the conflict but kept quiet.

These word are to remind you all
