The number 1 problem of Africa is low average IQ of the populace. Poor nutrition at formative years has deprived many Africans the necessary nutrients for adequate brain development. Just look around you. The results are wha you listed. There has to be a solution to poor nutrition first before anything. Special formula combination, beginning with breast milk at infancy, will go a long way to alter the brain configurations of average Africans.The program should be given between 30-50 years before results can be seen. |
tuniski:These are just very simple things that a credible census will decide. Why go through this lengthy conjectures when a proper headcount will take care of the confusion? Without a credible headcount, everything remains mere assumptions. |
mrvitalis:This is really funny. |
blacknp:You don't understand what they are saying? Donald Trump has a master's degree and ran businesses for years before he became president. He certainly understands the difference between appointment (whether temporary or non-temporary) and non appointment. In other words, Falana is saying that Buhari has not reappointed any of his aides, whether temporarily or permanently.Their tenure ended when Buhari's own tenure ended on May 28. And without reappointment, even for a day, they might be acting illegally. They don't have a perpetual tenure. Do you understand? |
What about the bills passed by the 8th Assembly that Buhari suddenly started signing in this 9th Assembly? Are they legal laws? What is the view of the law about them? |

2 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. Luke 18:22, 23 King James Version (KJV) |
Whatsapp, how about Nigerians sending Happy New Month to several people? Is that spamming too? Why will you prosecute someone for sending good wishes/prayers to his/her friends? |
Obasanjo sees beyond your subterfuge, Alhaji Sale Bayari. |
30 years? |
There's nothing you can do about that, Kwara. APC is synonymous with clannishness and vindictiveness. Just look across the country, the party was settup for a clique. |
What kind of daydreaming is this now? What can any say is the possible cause of this delusion now? Foreign investment into Nigeria drops by 43% – UN report |
Yet, the number of out of school children is rising in an alarming proportion. |
KenOne:You have been heard. People would normally get ideas from somewhere, don't you think? And companies would naturally work on projects, whether they are national or international. But, this is how thenationonline (an APC paper) reported the project in 2017 when Ameachi himself had already joined them... Abandoned Rivers state Monorail projectAlso, a monorail is not a luxury bus. Rivers State MonorailYour response shows a typical third world mindset of viewing pillars and beams as development regardless of the usefulness. Whether Lagos lightrail and Port Harcourt monorail projects are the same? No, they are not. And it has little to do with the 'infrastructure' you see there The "structures" you see are pillars erected inside the lagoon to hold the rail. That you saw pillars in Port Harcourt doesn't make them the same. Bridges are built across waters for the passage of motor vehicles as well. It doesn't make the Third Mainland Bridge a lightrail, for instance. DefinitionsYour contention that the monorail in Port Harcourt amounts to development is the issue. The people there are not convinced that a 5.2km monorail is development. They think it's nothing more than "effizy". Roads, bridges, railways, electricity/power grid, airports, telecommunications masts, etc are not just build for people to come and "see the structure", they are built for economic purpose, otherwise they end up as the "Bridge to Nowhere". Amaechi already performed wonderfully well in healthcare and education. The schools and hospitals he built are excellent and he employed thousands of people to run them. He also built many roads. These are what people can relate to. No one criticized him for those. But for you to come and make assertions that they rejected your 'type' of development" because he is APC is distasteful. |
Wantedmiller:It is not this type of project. This is a lightrail. Rivers type is monorail. Ameachi initiated it when he was still in PDP.. APC was not in existence when the project was conceived and started. The sentiment is that it is merely for aesthetics if you consider the total length of 5.2 km with the costs.Total passenger capacity is not upto 50 per trip. If you are one of the people who feel that development is all about taking pictures at train stations all over Europe and North America (like the piece of mirrow that the Europeans used on African brains in those days), then it should make sense to you. But if you consider development as adding value to human existence you would know that infrastructure should aid productivity and not just for leisure. |
You have tried your best. These people like pictures more than actual riding in it.. Pictures are their own definition of infrastructure. After boasting so much about their pictorial infrastructure like this, their next brag is the almighty IGR. That's what they use to wow their Abuja overlords to give them 'juicy' positions': just pictures of pillars o. And of course, some mumbo jumbo about IGR this IGR that. In the early 2000s, all the Enron hype did not produce 1kilowatt of electricity in the state, but it didn't stop them from ģetting the job of providing 100,000 megawatts for the entire country, as experts, several years later. |
This is actually a national tragedy. The average age of these young men and women is 44.8 years; below the national life expectancy of 52 and 54 years for men and women respectively. Highest age is 58 years while lowest ages is 36 years - too bad. These people were in their productive years with dependants whose lives may not be the same again after their demise. In places where human lives are valued, the authorities will not ignore this ominous signs. |
Bulleye:That is most unfortunate. And these are the intellectuals that many young people are looking up to. They are probably part of the 2023 strategists. They don't want to upset their lords up north. They dont want to be called BIGOTS. But the lords are capitalizing on that desperation to quickly advance their course. Very unfortunate indeed. Nobody thought that a day would ever come that invasion of Yorubaland will be so tolerated and explained away because of personal ambitions of some of the leaders. |
This bill will have to be represented. The former one has lapsed, it ended with the 8th Assembly. ASUP will have to go for another round of lobbying. Most of the fine bills that were passed without Buhari's assent will have to be represented. For some of them it may just be the end. The CAMA amendment and the heavily broken down petroleum industry bill didn't see the light of the day. And with this pliable senate and house of representatives, it could well be the end of those bills. Their major preoccupation for now is perhaps looking for how Buhari will be handed his much desired EMERGENCY POWERS. |
Is this one also caused by climate change? Can they say that this man was only using his machete to cut FOLIAGE for his cattle now? |
victorDanladi:Etteh was speaker for 5 months, Ogbeni. Meanwhile, which party was Dimeji Bankole again? Remind us. |
victorDanladi:Before you take rumour mongering to your next level, you should know that Sabur Dimeji Bankole, the Speaker of the House of Representatives during Yaradua's tenure (from 2007'-2011) is a Muslim. Always confirm your information before spreading rumours around. Patricia Etteh, a Christian, was speaker for 5 months out of 4 years (48 months). Even at that, her deputy, Babangida Nguroje is a Muslim. From1999, Nigeria maintained a balance in alloacation of its political offices to manage its social dynamics until APC and Buhari introduced their divisive and bitter politics. |
MetaPhysical:Ok. It is good you quickly jettison "talking politics" in favor of security, which should have been your concern ab initiio; even though your main intention remains politics, which is veiled in your last paragraph about preventing "this governor" from returning to "govern anywhere in Yorubaland". Be that as it may, can you tell how many Fulani kidbappers have been shot at sight... or killed by any governor or security agency? Since Fayose left last year, how many so-called SW governors have raised any issue with the Fulanis activities in the SW? Akeredolu's statement is a confirmation of what ordinary people fear that the governors (especially in the SW) cannot curtail the rampaging jihadists without offending their lords. The Buhari that all of them are sucking up to does not joke with "his people". El Rufai the "heir apparent" has left to one in doubt in words and deeds that "his people" are more important to him than any other person. Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso is the first person to deploy resources to effect the release of "his people" any time they have issues. We have heard governors shouting in the North, including the governor of Buhari's Kastina State, for help in combating security challenges in their domains. Why then are all SW governors keeping mum so as not to offend their masters? What about the VP? Do they not have any attachment to the their own land and people? Is 2023 presidency worth the land, blood and lives of the SW people? Why are they treating this threat like the people just have to live with it till "they allow us the presidency in 2023"; as this governor is saying? How many people will be left in 2023? How much Yorubaland will still be left from the occupation of the invaders? This is clearly an existential threat but it is being treated as politics. |
MetaPhysical:Ok. But he is talking about security here. Do you think he should have kept mum because of 2023 presidency like others, or what? Dont you think sacrificing Yoruba people and Yorubaland for anyone's 2023 political ambition is too much? |
A governor is not safe with his orderly? Has he changed him now? |
Is this one also caused by climate change now? |
iswallker:You have already made your conclusion. What other reports are you waiting for? You have done your own findings, haven't you? If the two cases were that isolated (within few months) as you claimed, would they have grounded that model in the whole world? Did they take such measure after the first one happened? |
Mosesotu123:The lawyers think otherwise. They think they have a good case against Boeing. Plus, each accident case is treated on its individual merit. It is not all cases that you cannot hold the manufacturing company responsible. There are instances of manufacturers' defects in cars that lead to accidents and have led to several lawsuits. If a car's pedal is faulty from the factory, as was the case of Toyota about a decade ago, they have to be held accoutable. See https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-unintended-acceleration-has-killed-89/ That is one of reasons car manufacturers recall their products in millions. Our third world mentality probably has its own place when the issue concerns our way of life and the like. We can always hand everything to God who is the ultimate justice giver because we seem powerless, helpless vulnerable without a system for redress; that dispense justice with fairness regardless of status. But when we are involved with people who have established methods (established by the use of the brain that God endowed all humans with) and who value one single human life above any other thing, we just have to wait and see the process to its logical conclusion. They don't celebrate thousands of people dying as if humans are goats; they will always look to find out the possible cause(s) of the crash and make amends, including sanctions to any entity found culpable. They do that to prevent future occurence. That is what you see is responsible for the phenomenal progress they have achieved on behalf of humanity. |
Nig4Greatness:You seem to know a lot. It's almost like you a lawyer or you are very close to the judge (jury) in this case to be so certain of the outcome; considering that law is not science which produces the same outcome all the time. Have you seen this, though? Airplane Accidents https://www.justia.com/injury/motor-vehicle-accidents/airplane-accidents/ |
