Good day everyone. Does anyone here still remember one prophesy a nairalander placed here some months back? It appears so true, but now looks like a lie. So I wanted to remind him ( I have forgetten his moniker). He said something big will happen in June this year 2020 that would shake Nigeria. That an event would occur that would draw the attention of the world. That it would almost cause a violent crises that would make the comity of nation to install a Yoruba man as a president. He claimed God has shown him before, but because of doubt he did not paste it on NL. That he was posting it then because he saw that same dream (abi na prophesy sef) the second time.
A lot of person commented and supported him. Why others said they would screen shot it and remind him when his prophesy failed. And it looks like his prophecy was fake after all.
Who still remember? Because I actually bookmarked it but I cannot find it again in my history.

The OP is not telling the whole truth, I mean which school ever withdraws it student just for carrying one course no matter the department. Its unheard of, the worst case is for you to repeat but not withdrawn from the department. OP there is something you are not telling us because the story does not rhyme with reality.

My name is Uche a 100Level supposed medicine and surgery student of a Nigerian University, I used to be very brilliant and that was what instigated me to apply for Medicine and Surgery after acquiring an aggregate score of 270 in both JAMB and POST-UTME Examinations, I was then admitted a years ago into a university.

I am the only child of my parents, they have spent so much on me just to make sure I become a doctor, dad had to sell one of his plots of land to pay for my registration fees, purchase a brand new laptop, a phone and clothes for me and all my needs, Mum who has no job since she was sacked by the state government will always try to send the little that will pass through her, when I think of the way she announced to her friends when I gained admission to study Medicine it brings tears from my eyes.

It will be an injustice on me to be blamed or for me to blame myself, I know the effort I have also made, I have always taken my studies serious, I never missed any lecture, I neither miss assignments nor tests, I sit at the front of the class, I don't keep bad gangs, I have never attended a party, sometimes I do RTDB (Read Till Day Break), what is then my offense? why me?

At the end of my 100 level Second semester my CGP was reading 4.2 without a single carryover, I was very happy because I thought I had scaled through the danger zone.

The unexpected occurred when I logged into the school portal at the end of my Second Semester Examination to check my result, I cleared all the courses with A's and B's but a course was reading Carryover, I nearly fainted when I saw the result, it was a biology course I offered in second semester to me the course was the simplest of all. I did not inform my parents because I din not want to dishearten them.

The school resumed, so I went to my HOD and complained, she took me to the Exam office who searched thoroughly for my script and from what I saw it was obvious I failed, I scored 32% and was asked to change department, my HOD advised that I go to Biological Sciences, my eyes were filled with tears.

How do I tell my parents this, it only mean I have brought shame to them. I have remained in school since then crying from one angle to another I don't know whether to go home to my parents to inform them of the truth or keep telling them lies.

I need your sincere advice.

very true. this item is worthy of front page. the mods should promote tribal unity
Most folks just come here to make jokes out of it believe it guys...it's all just for fun. Even me ...sometimes i shout 'amaka!' here just to piss off the igbos when there is a negative thread about them...and yes! when there is a skull mining thread i will also shout 'afonja!' lol
no bad vibes...m yoruba...but sure...one love

Afonjas and their useless propaganda is one of the major factors that destroyed Nigeria. Look at how they were dancing all over this thread and pouring saliva everywhere about phantom huge deposit of gas in Lagos and Ondo states back in 2016 They didn't realize that internet never forgets. Now, 4 years later, federal government is building pipelines all the way from Imo state to the same Lagos State that had trillions of audio cubic feet in reserve

These people are terrible liars that live off propaganda. So shameful.

oyatz:
1) Many people from the North criticize this Buhari administration e.g Buba Galadima, Senator Sheu Sani etc

Northerners aren't many like the Southerners on social media.

However, for certain reasons , Northerners don't criticize their leaders like Southerners do.

2) When people come online to criticize Buhari and use the opportunity to abuse, insult and curse Northerners/Fulanis, you are indirectly telling Northerners/Fulani to unite and defend one of their own and return hatred for you.

They will not join you in such criticisms, no matter the wrongs that he has done.

3) When tribal bigots come online to spend all their time and energy telling whoever cares to listen how evil a particular Geopolitical zone is, what do you think people from that zone will do?

4) When you constantly call people backstabbers, betrayers and greedy people (which has become intensified since 2015), do you expect them to return the gestures by supporting your views and working to see you rewarded with power to preside over their lives?

5) Who appointed you a judge to determine the morality of the Interests of the S/West in politics, especially the 2023 election?

You are in politics to protect your own interests and I am in politics to protect my own interests too.

Imo State has approved a Right of Way (RoW) charge reduction from ₦4,500 to ₦145 per meter. Last week, Ekiti State became the first state to reduce its RoW charge to ₦145 as recommended by the Federal Government.

Telecommunication companies pay RoW to deploy cables that facilitate high-speed internet connectivity. Other states may follow suit to ease communication and collaboration across the nation following the COVID-19 induced lockdown.

The reduction was a manifestation of our Government’s determination to spur the telecommunication companies to further invest in broadband infrastructure and trigger ancillary on-line services, especially in the field of education.

The Government is hopeful that this drastic reduction from N4500 of the broadband ROW to N145 per line meter of fibre will accelerate the deployment of affordable and reliable modern high-speed connectivity in the State.

This was to ease the cost of deploying the necessary infrastructure that would aid the National Broadband Penetration plan by telcos. Despite this decision, many states didn’t obey for several years. States like Lagos increased RoW charges from N500 per meter to N5,000 per meter on state roads. Other states have also gone on to charge as much as N6,000 per metre.

This has slowed the deployment of broadband infrastructure across the country as Infrastructure Companies (InfraCos) have not been to roll out as expected.

The Executive order urged telecommunication companies to note that the State plays host to vibrant and youthful demography located in many tertiary institutions, who form the bulk of the end-users of their products.

Life itself is not fair. Suffering and pain is part of human existence.

You are in a dilema any action you take now you will still end up hurting someone.


If you report: you are going to put your co-workers and their family in trouble, they will lose their job and they will also go to jail if not for life.

If you choose not to report you will be harming the md and she might lose her business.

either ways you are going to hurt people.

And as such i will advice you to focus on yourself and mind your business.

Fabulouzjoseph:
For me minding your business is the best.
Na thief they know im fellow thief you might incriminate yourself while trying to report them

I have seen where people put their self in trouble for trying to help others.

in simi's voice: mind your business wether you no like am mind your business.

Agboriotejoye:
Tinubu is a politician but there is no denying the obvious fact that he's a leader even from here on NL where you can see his disciples defending him at every turn.

Having said that, he was one of the earliest apostles of restructuring early in the OBJ days of this democratic dispensation. Whether he has maintained fidelity to it is a testament to the political divide he finds himself at each point but it is easy to see and know that the man who currently holds the levers of power is strongly averse to any subject of restructuring.

The only option open to Tinubu in that regard might be a direct confrontation which will be politically inexpedient given the role he played in birthing this govt. I do not say he is correct in adopting that posture but it is understandable.

That's why I say we wait till his ACN wing of APC attain the centre before he can truly be judged if his mouthing of restructuring was just political jingoism or a serious ideology for a way out of the present logjam the country is in. Mind you though that if he were to attempt that even when holding the power handle, he will still face stiff opposition from the north who seem to be the most averse to the restructuring idea.

Agboriotejoye:
I'm talking about the south west grp in the APC led by Tinubu.
He's been the main advocate of restructuring right from the time of OBJ. He might be using it as a political slogan just to get access but we can't say that for sure until his group get the centre.
That said, if you believe no politician will give you restructuring, how then do you expect to get secession without an arms struggle but insults. You'll agree with me that it's hardly strategic and at best foolhardy.
Kanu being intellectual is what I don't get. How? Is insult or the Jubril conspiracy theory a mark of intellectualism? Those two are what he has become renowned for. He never gave an intellectual discourse of how Biafra is to be achieved within the present political structure neither did he propose a way out of the present structure which you agree cannot birth Biafra.
The truth is the SE are currently holding the short end of the stick politics-wise due to his petulance. It provided ammunition for this administration and its dogs to label the SE as untrustworthy and therefore worthy of being excluded from the national table.
Even the restructuring calls died with him because any such noise from the south after his ouster will be seen as furthering his agenda by proxy and you'll agree no politician of note will want to be seen in the same boat with a radical character as Kanu

Agboriotejoye:
That's not exactly true. The advocates of restructuring are part of the centre but do not form the CORE of the centre if you know what I mean. The man and his cabal see restructuring as a ploy to impoverish the north.

I need you to cast your mind back to the fact that Kanu was freed by the courts when Osinbajo was acting president and he even gave recognition to the Biafran Armed Forces Remembrance day in 2017. He discussed Biafra as acting president something even Jonathan never did in his five years as president. But he knows and tinubu knows too and you should know that restructuring or Biafra are not sweet melody to the man at the helm which makes calls for both to be politically inexpedient.

Supporting Kanu would have also been a no-no with his petulance and caustic tongue. He was neither cerebral nor diplomatic in his approach but acted more like a charlatan. In my view, Buhari treated him with too much notice to have sent the military after him. It just made him more popular. Intellectual debate could have silenced him.

Agboriotejoye:
Believe me, that treaty was by the five host countries of the river Niger. If Nigeria was to break up, it will not be binding on the emergent countries except ratified by them.

Having said that, I must commend the manner of your debate. You've shown enough intelligence to understand that this issue cannot be a tea party. Though you seem to think I'm against secession which I'm generally not against. I just want to clear the notion that it's going to be a utopian journey.
I don't believe Nigeria must remain as it is. Only the core north seems to think so. The west want restructuring like the SS while the middle belt also want some form of separate identity from the Hausa-fulani hegemony. I believe none of the three southern regions stand to lose a lot of restructuring/secession where to occur. The losers are up north.
