^^No mind 'em. *Jealousy type*

Chuzzyrules: Perfect!

How you go ask question, con dey answer am again?

Is that you @ pic?

Nice pic. Handsome guy+beautiful wife= WOW children

This song has kept on lingering on my mind for five months now so I have to sing it here.

"Parents listen to your children,
we are the leaders of tomorrow.
Try to pay our school fees,
and give us SOUND EDUCATION"

The above is the original version of the song. Without conscious modifications, I saw myself singing the song with these lyrics.

" FG listen to ASUU,
We are the victims of this strike,
try to pay their demands and give us SOUND EDUCATION"

Education, undoubtedly, is the best thing that has happened to humanity. It adds all other thing just like the biblical kingdom seeking. "Education is the greatest legacy" is a worn-off cliche whose veracity still can never be challenged. Wherever Education goes, it carries along civilization, liberation, transformation e.t.c.

It is needless to say that America's world dominance is as a result of their insatiable quest for knowledge since it is a well known fact. America continues to prioritize education. I recently read about the K-12 reform agenda implemented by Obama's administration to make education affordable to every American regardless of the "political-social-academical-religious-racial" status . Did you shake your head for Nigeria? Nigeria seem to be the direct opposite of America.

I wonder what Jonathan's frequent visit to America is all about. Of course, I am sure he would ask the president who his suit's designer and furniture supplier are. But to ask questions on issues of national interest is an aberration, a taboo.

ASUU STRIKE

Another Song? Yes. Let me borrow styl plus' beat

" Five months on the stike, dem still dey carry go ASUU no waka. FG self no say no"

Why do Nigeria leaders lack administrative skill. As in settling of issues before they become crisis.
ASUU's five month crisis has affected the student abysmally. Imagine, a student whose parents have struggle to pay the child rent fee but without their son using the room. This strike action has dampen the morale of the leaders of tomorrow.

It is evident that the nation has nothing whatsoever for our youth , no one cares whether the strike is called off or not. But for the selfish political ambition of our leaders, especially for 2015, this strike would have been the longest in the history of humanity.

Do they have children studying in Nigeria? How does the strike affect their share of the national cake? Yes, We the children of the poor masses. We that no one cares what the future hold for us. We whose parents have no wing for us to perch on to the top. Yes we are the victims. We are the proverbial grass that suffer when the proverbial elephants fight. We who can not afford studying overseas.

There are few things that kill a man dampen a man's spirit like frustration. This strike has frustrated many of my friends. I never envisaged it could be this long, neither did any. But here we are.

Why are these mediocres-turned-leaders slowing down our journey to a hazy future? The future does not old any hope nor the realisation of such in this nation. I am not a pessimist but I must be awaken to reality. There is no job anywhere for anybody in our green-white-green nation.

And age is not our side. I knew a brother who, after finishing his secondary at age 18, struggled so hard to huzzle for money by working in a beer parlour. At age 25, he got his admission to study his dream course- thanks to FOCUS. As if the school's slow programme was not enough delay, ASUU struck in 2009. You remember the strike? This brother was above THIRTY before bagging his bachellors degree. He was outrightly rejected anywhere he went to since he could not meet the requirements: Applicants must be below age 28. Must have at leasta Masters degree. And 5 years working experience. Tell me How one can have a working experience when no one is ready to offer him/her a job. The brother is a barber now.

Girls are not smiling either. Imagine a girl that finish school at may be thirty. We all know her chance of getting a husband, at least a good one, is a little far from impossible and no guys is ready to marry a liability, a deficit, an illitrate.
Why should one waste the resources and time to study, when at the end one will still learn the work one had rejected in the past?

After ruminating about these, I can boldly say that Nigeria Education Sector is a discouragement to the quest for knowledge!!!

Thanks for the platform for expression.

LONG LIVE NAIRALAND!
LONG LIVE THE STUDENTS!
LONG LIVE NIGERIA[NS!]

Why should I like a girl who is making things up?

Arguably the most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen, Usain St Leo Bolt, confirmed his tremendous talents when he realized his dreams by winning a phenomenal three gold medals and breaking three world records at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Bolt became the first man in Olympic history to win both the 100m and 200m races in world record times and then as part of the 4x100m team that also smashed the world record later in the meet. He created history again and became a legend at the 2012 Olympic Games in London by defending all three Olympic titles with 100m, 200m and 4x100m victories, the latter in a new world record time of 36.84 secs.
Between his Olympic successes Usain stayed firmly in the global spotlight winning three gold medals and setting two individual world records at the 2009 IAAF World T&F Championships in Berlin, Germany. He lowered his 100m time to a staggering 9.58 secs, his 200m time to 19.19 secs and running the third leg helped Jamaica to gold in the 4x100m. He defended his World Championships title in the 200m at the 2011 IAAF World T&F Championships in Daegu, Korea and anchored Jamaica to another world record of 37.04 secs in the 4x100m. Usain is currently one of the biggest names in the world of sport – both on and off the track.
USAIN BOLT IS THE FASTEST MAN EVER LIVETH.

"Manners is the key thing. Say, for instance, when you're growing up, you're walking down the street, you've got to tell everybody good morning. Everybody. You can't pass one person."
Usain Bolt

By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.Although, a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar.
Even contemporaneous superstars recognized the unparalleled position of Jordan. Magic Johnsonsaid, "There's Michael Jordan and then there is the rest of us."

- Michael Jordan.

He is not only good with his feets, he is also good with his mouth. Here are some of his WOW quotes:-

"Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing".
Lionel Messi

"When the year starts the objective is to win it all with the team, personal records are secondary".
Lionel Messi.

No gainsaying, Messi is the best player in the history of football.
