Nigerian government spends insignificantly when it comes to educational research. Money meant for such purpose are used to rehabilitate 'repentant' terrorists, and sponsor unnecessary religious pilgrimage. What a country.
A professor of Applied Linguistics at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Ndufu-Alike (AE-FUNAI), Ebonyi State, Nnenna Nwanyioma Nwosu-Nworuh, has developed a computer keyboard designed to support the digital writing of Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba.
The keyboard, known as Linguascript, was unveiled on Thursday, September 3, 2026, during the university’s 10th Inaugural Lecture at the Senate Chamber.
Prof Nwosu-Nworuh, who delivered the lecture titled “Multilingualism and Functional Literacy: Hard, Soft or Blended Skills?”, said the innovation was developed to address what she described as the poor representation of Nigerian languages in digital technology.
She said the absence of Nigerian language features on conventional computer keyboards had created a gap in the teaching, writing and everyday use of indigenous languages.
“No African and Nigerian language features on a computer keyboard. Hence, this is my research innovation,” she said.
The professor said the project took four years of research and development to produce the prototype, followed by another eight years to develop the plug-and-play version.
She called for partnerships with computer manufacturers to produce the keyboard commercially and make it available in schools and the wider market.
Prof Nwosu-Nworuh specifically urged the Federal and state governments to engage manufacturers, including HP, Huawei, Acer and Zinox, to consider producing computers fitted with the Linguascript keyboard.
According to her, wider access to the technology could encourage teachers and students to use digital platforms to learn and write indigenous languages.
She said the project could also support efforts to address the declining use of Nigerian languages, particularly among younger people.
The professor, however, identified funding as a major challenge, saying she had largely financed the research and production herself.
“Of course, there are challenges. I have been funding both the research and the production. Apart from the N500,000 awarded to me as the third-position winner in 2018, I have received no further incentive or funds towards the actualisation of this project,” she said
She urged governments and educational institutions to strengthen language programmes, introduce proficiency-based curricula and provide greater opportunities for language immersion.
Nwosu-Nworuh also called for greater collaboration between Nigerian universities and French organisations to give students practical language experience and improve their career opportunities.
She said language loss was not limited to Igbo, noting that the increasing preference for English in children’s upbringing and education could leave many young Nigerians unable to speak their indigenous languages fluently.
The professor also urged parents, teachers and counsellors to identify children’s interests and abilities early and guide them towards areas where they could perform better.
Earlier, the Vice-Chancellor of AE-FUNAI, Prof. Daniel Nwachukwu, said the university’s responsibility went beyond awarding degrees, stressing the need to produce graduates capable of applying knowledge to real-life problems.
He said, “Literacy without application is empty, and multilingualism without purpose is noise.”
Nwachukwu said the university remained committed to an education system that combines scholarship with practical relevance and service to society.
The message should be for your family and friends. Ambitious young Nigerians will always seek greener pastures outside. Nigeria is already compromised. Place your hope on the country at your own risk.
If you feel Nigeria is good for you, quickly relocate back to the country instead of crying all the time about how good Nigeria is.
We live in a part of the world where it seems to be a taboo for a lady to buy something for her man. Many Nigerian girls are raised right from birth with that mentality that giving is a one-sided thing. The popular notion is that men are givers, while women are receivers. What a warped way of thinking!
The first time I showed a friend a pair of Moccasin shoes my girl bought for me, he was shocked literally. He confessed to me that I was lucky. That since he started dating, no woman has ever bought him even 100 Naira MTN recharge card. I laughed because I know this is same thing so many young men are facing out there. Men in this part of the world are seen as 'sole providers'. They are to provide financial support, security, guidance, protection, etc. They should not expect to receive anything in return, and they must never complain.
Each time this issue is raised, some folks would tell you that it depends on the type of women you are relating with. My brother, let me tell you the basic truth. This mentality cuts across ladies from all backgrounds. Not only junction girls aka kparo-kparo. Even those who are in the banks, legal profession, and other corporate entities think likewise. Their 10 million Naira is exclusively theirs, but your lean 50k is for both of you.
The percentage of ladies who can comfortably give their partners tangible stuffs is very small. They exist but the percentage is like a bucket of water from a mighty ocean. As a young man, just pray that you find such women because the majority you see are nothing but hungry vultures.
If you are dating a girl and you are gifting her things, but she has never given you anything after 6 months, leave her. Na kparo-kparo package be that.
Jakarta: Before you talk learn to read and comprehend. So because there are pirated books,schools can force parents to buy text and notebooks at their own prices with no alternative options? And can you please show me where I exempted the government? If the government was active many of these schools wouldn't dare such practice in the first place. Tell your elder brother to explain my initial comment for you.
Jakarta: Delta please follow. Parents are forced to buy books, and uniforms in most private schools in Delta state. For the primary sections apart from verbal reasoning and quantitative you won't find the other books in the markets. Schools are now working with publishers to publish the school customized text and notebooks.
Before you talk, make sure you know what you are saying. The textbooks you see in the market are pirated textbooks. So you expect a publisher to spend huge funds in publishing only for the books to become pirated in the markets for schools to buy cheaply? Why not hold your government accountable for not funding education properly so that the public schools can become competitive?
A woman has confronted her husband and his side chick on the road in broad daylight. The husband lied to the wife that he was attending a meeting, but the wife drove her car and trailed him only to see him picking up a girl who had been waiting for him on the way. This happened at IMSU gate, Owerri, Imo State.
If financially stable men in Nigeria decide to stay faithful to their wives, many young girls will eat stones and bottles as food, because they would lose their livelihood. Relationship with married men is now an occupation among many Nigerian girls.
Mynd44: It is the "eat the rich" mentality. To be honest like you said we one cannot conclud that Erriga was referring to Davido on his post but Davido has multiple times been the target of a lot of people simply because he comes from wealth which funny enough he isn't the first Neato C also comes from wealth and affluence.
There has been people who have questioned his hustle and some who said he paid his way to where he is and for Davido, this has to be exhausting. Personally, I don't really care about Davido but I recognise an "hustler" when I see one. Davido has put in the work and muscle into his craft and that cannot be denied. He has done it irrespective of the fact that he would have been comfortable without it. He deserves to be there and he has shown real talent so it must be exhausting for him.
I can imagine the number of times Davido will have heard the side remarks even from colleagues, labels, promoters and everyone. It can get frustrating.
Unfortunately, people are not going to stop. They will keep hitting at him over it as disgusting as it is, it is a deep seated jealousy that "you dare be comfortable growing up while we suffered thing" I pray these people saying it seek the help they need.
Davido also needs to be careful in response, Erriga might not have been talking about him and it resulted in this frenzy
BodePolScience: Davido is just emotionally unintelligent, just because of one person's post, he decided to insult the generality of fellow Nigerians, including his fans who come from "poor" homes.
You have a duty of checking yourself properly, because I don't see anywhere where Davido insulted his fans because they are 'poor' according to you.
G12: I've long noticed something about our society that I find quite paradoxical: many poor Nigerians seem to harbor a subtle resentment, jealousy, or even hatred toward wealthy people.
When something bad happens to a rich person they dislike, they sometimes celebrate it. Yet, ironically, many of these same people desperately desire wealth and dream of becoming rich themselves. And when they see someone else becoming successful, instead of being inspired, they can become even more bitter and envious.
This raises an interesting question: How can you become something you have secretly learned to despise?
If you constantly associate wealth with evil, greed, corruption, arrogance, or wickedness, while simultaneously praying and working to become wealthy, aren't you creating a psychological conflict within yourself?
Perhaps one of the first steps toward becoming what you desire is learning to stop resenting those who already have it.
That is where I am coming from. People's success triggers them and makes them uncomfortable.
mablie: Na because Davido mind no clean @Emboldened. Im mind no dey at rest because everything he possesses/has earned,he did not achieve them via his own volition unlike others and he knows it.
If you've ever read "William Shakespeare's,Macbeth" you'll understand my stance
Leave him alone. Focus on how to achieve yours. His achievements have nothing to do with your own journey.
chidiokay: I wont judge if Erigga is wrong or right, He as right to come from the place of his " Perception" ..most of have being at that low places You see how easy the road is for your frirnd becos there parent are rich recently i think pocohantas even rants in an diary about some rich kids growing up.. i can tolerate that feeling
Davido however, is wrong to have taken it personal cos erigga mentioned no name, besides Davido is not the only one from wealth family ... ochacho son is singing, FALS , Teni , sing tew why is it Davido that felt attacked
It is not even about Erigga and Davido, but the bitterness in the hearts of majority of Nigerians.
Davido And Erigga: The Bitterness Of Many Nigerians
First, I am not the type of person who like to dabble into celebrity rows and all that, but I decided to go into this because I noticed that it clearly reveals something deep that is common with many Nigerians, especially among people who are not so privileged to come from well-to-do families.
Erigga aka Erigha Agharivbie is my Warri brother. In fact, we grew up together in the same neighborhood (Edjeba) in Warri. I have also worked with him at M-Slough Studio along Ovie Palace Road, PTI, in Effurun. No doubt, he is a cool guy and very funny. This is way back around 2005/2006 when most kids here were probably not born.
I would not know the reason for his recent post or who the target was, but I want to make something categorically clear. Nobody should be mocked or blamed for coming from a poor family, the same way nobody should be mocked or blamed for coming from a wealthy family. Whether Erigga's post targeted David Adeleke or not, the fact is that David cannot and should not be blamed for coming from a wealthy family. That he is privileged is not his fault, and in the same way, he is not be the cause why you or anybody's parents could not make it in life.
My post is not just about Davido and Erigga. It goes deeper than that. It is more about the severe bitterness among many Nigerians, especially the less privileged. They are usually triggered by success and they become uncomfortable when they see someone climbing. You buy a new car, they call you ritualist. You buy small Toyota Corolla to dey manage, dem go say na this small car wey you buy dey make you show yourself. And the person saying this cannot even afford the tyres of a wheelbarrow!
Many Nigerians are so bitter, not just online but offline too. That is why I keep saying that when you start making money, the first thing you should do is to leave that environment where you are surrounded by struggling people immediately. These are the type of people who want to see you fail.
I have seen many comments online. 'Davido, frog voice...'Davido, useless talentless artist...and so on. If you check the people making such comments, you will discover that many do not even have up to 10k in their bank accounts. Some of them are squatting with people. Some are finding it hard to feed well. Some have never had anybody in their entire lineage who has achieved [b]one-tenth of what David Adeleke has achieved. He did not steal your father's wealth to get to where he is today. He has frog voice, but he has won many awards, made so much money, and visited places that you can only dream of. What is the stress? You don't have frog voice but you are broke![/b]
My brother, in this life, nobody do you ooo. Hustle for your own success and leave bitterness alone. It is not the fault of the son of a wealthy man that your own father could not give you such life. Work hard to see that you give your own kids the life they deserve instead of being unnecessarily bitter towards other people's achievements.
Nigerian rapper Erhiga Agarivbie, aka Erigga, has sparked debate on social media app, X, after praising musicians who didn’t come from wealthy families and had to work for their earnings.
The rapper, in a tweet late Tuesday, wrote on his X handle, “Shoutout to all the musicians who don’t come from family money and had to grind for every single dollar they earn.”
Reacting to the post was Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, who quoted the tweet and countered that musicians who come from wealthy families also deserve recognition for working their way “to the top ”
Tweeting on Wednesday night, Davido stated fiercely, “No be we say make your pops no guard o. Shoutout to the ones that came from family money and still grind to the top.”
The ‘Omo baba olowo’ crooner later described Erigga’s tweet as “useless motivation,” and referred to the rapper as an”slowpoke.”
The exchange has since generated mixed reactions on X, with about 35,000 posts linked to the debate.
While some users defended Erigga for simply celebrating artistes who succeeded without a privileged financial background, others suggested that the rapper’s tweet was a subtle dig at Davido who comes from a wealthy family.
One X user, Moses5_a, tweeted, “This tweet is so harmless. I don’t know why people are crying over it. He clearly wasn’t shading anyone but somehow someone got offended. If you follow Erigga way back from 2020, you will know he’s all about motivation.”
Another X user, NurseVictoria01, wrote, “There’s no award or glory for suffering.
When are you ever going to act your age? Stop throwing unintelligent shade. No one stopped your ancestors or your father from securing the bag. You can chase X money without hating on the rich.”
One user identified as Shandymoney confronted Eriga, saying, “Kuku mention Davido.”
Referring to Davido, an X user, CrystalReignz, tweeted, “Give them back to back, nobody has the right to discredit your effort.”
One X user, Mautiin01, asked, “But how you take know say na you he Dey follow talk? You catch sub.”
A user, HonitelHQ, stated, “You have a very low self esteem and it is really pathetic. There is no place in that tweet where he mentioned your name. You are not the only artist in Nigeria that comes from money. The tweet isn’t even a sub but your insecurity won’t let you ignore something that isn’t about you.
“You have a main character syndrome, too. You always want to make it about yourself. This is really a sad way to live life, man.”
Another X user identified as Feyitayo2724, said, “Do you know how stupid you sound? The easiest way to make it in life is through inheritance (being born into a rich home). Blame it on your parents if you weren’t born rich, and not try to downplay the efforts of others because they are from a well-to-do home.”
Erigga live IG OBO, Davido. i have always had the utmost respect for you. And to 30BG please y'all shouldn't take this s£rous. Just listen. I want to be honest with all of you. i made that tweet because Wizkid asked me to. It was a paid arr@ngement. He paid me $100k to post it… https://t.co/BKF1D5RcUgpic.twitter.com/l42GJlCGNi
Former Mayor of Blanco, Texas and the founder of Africa Arise International, Mike Arnold has thrown jabs at Nigerian president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu by posting a ridiculous birth certificate online to mock the president. The post is gathering a lot of reactions online.

A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu and his associates forged the US Embassy letter said to have cleared him for fighting insecurity.
Von Batten-Montague-York made the allegation in a statement posted on its verified X handle on Wednesday.
The allegation came after the circulation of a letter said to have been issued through the US Embassy in Nigeria and referenced by Nigeria’s ambassador to Mexico, Reno Omokri, to defend Tinubu against claims surrounding his records in the United States.
The firm raised questions over the document’s authenticity, pointing to what it described as several glaring spelling, grammatical and formatting errors in the purported official correspondence.
Among the errors identified were words such as “czheck” instead of “check” and “maitatins” instead of “maintains”.
The firm also questioned the use of “it’s territories” instead of “its territories”, as well as the sentence, “The result of the checks were negative,” which it argued should read “The result of the check was negative.”
According to the firm, other phrases flagged included “nor information of your department” and “contact me direct” instead of “contact me directly.”
The firm further stated that the errors made it difficult to accept the document as an authentic communication from a US government institution without independent verification.
This came amid renewed attention to Tinubu’s history in the United States, following an ongoing legal battle over the release of the files held by US federal agencies.
Recall that Omokri recently argued that Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, records relating to Tinubu, should not automatically be interpreted as criminal records, adding that a distinction existed between ordinary FBI records and criminal records.
Omokri also referred to a purported letter from the FBI transmitted through the US Embassy in Lagos to the Nigerian government.
Reacting, the US-based firm questioned the credibility of the purported correspondence and called for independent verification before it could be accepted as an authentic US government document.
It warned that if a document presented as an official communication from the US government were found to have been fabricated, the matter could potentially carry serious legal consequences under US law.
“Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and his associates are, as expected, spreading stories and documents to cloud the matter. For example, the letter below is alleged by President Tinubu’s associate Reno Omokri to be from the US Embassy in Nigeria.
“If authentic, given the recent admission of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, it raises questions about whether a US agency provided inaccurate information.
“But a close examination raises questions about the letter’s authenticity. It contains glaring spelling and grammatical errors.
“Given these errors, we find it very difficult to accept this letter as authentic without independent verification. Dear President Tinubu and associates: if this document is not authentic, presenting a fabricated document as an official US government communication is a serious matter and may have legal consequences under US law,” the firm tweeted.

It is very obvious that you did not even understand the post.
nairalanda1: Not all the information that makes front page concerns everyone.
Islamic threads that make fp concern muslims, as do christian threads concern christians. Threads on pets are useful for those who keep pets. There was even a thread on catfish farming, which is quite niche here, and which made front page, even though the vast majority of us are not cat fish farmers.
You too should pay attention to this thread, because when you get married, knowning about your wife's menstrual cycle may be useful in planning preganncies.
But I am sure you would tell me in the words of the immortal Ford, that it is all bunk, just as history is bunk. Ford be praised, I guess.
You should have ignored him. The thread is not for everyone. So if it doesn't concern someone, they should just move ahead. There is no need seeking unnecessary attention on a public forum.
Gunmen have shot dead popular comedian and media personality Isaac Nwosu, popularly known as Aiza Nwosu, and another man in separate attacks in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
The killings occurred late on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at S.M. Okeke Street, Amaikwo, and Capital City Road, Amaenyi.
Police said preliminary information indicated that three unidentified persons travelling in a silver-coloured Toyota Corolla carried out the attacks.
Eyewitnesses claimed the assailants trailed Nwosu from his home before blocking his vehicle and opening fire on him.
One witness said the comedian was left in a pool of blood inside his vehicle after the attack.
The assailants, numbering about three and driving in a tinted vehicle, trailed the comedian from his home, double-crossed his vehicle and later attacked him, shooting him dead,” the eyewitness said
The witness added that the gunmen later shot another man by the roadside, dispossessed him of his belongings and fled.
According to the account, the attackers also fired several shots into the air as they escaped, causing panic among residents.
The motive for the killings has not been established, although some residents suggested they could be linked to cult-related activities.
Confirming the incident on Monday, Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the command had launched an investigation and intensified a manhunt for the suspects.
“The Anambra State Police Command has condemned in the strongest terms the gunshot attacks carried out by unidentified gunmen in Awka, the State capital, on Sunday, August 30, 2026, which resulted in the deaths of two persons,” Ikenga said.
He said information gathered so far showed that three unidentified persons travelling in a silver-coloured Toyota Corolla, whose registration number had yet to be ascertained, allegedly shot the victims at separate locations.
Police patrol teams were deployed to the affected areas after receiving distress information.
Ikenga said officers recovered the victims from Capital City Road, Amaenyi, and S.M. Okeke Street, Amaikwo, and took them to a hospital where they were confirmed dead.
“While one of the victims is yet to be identified, the second victim has been identified as Isaac Nwosu, male, also known as ‘Azia’,” the police spokesman said.
Operatives also recovered N7,550, a Moniepoint ATM card and a pair of slippers from the scene.
Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP Nnanna Ama, condemned the killings, describing them as unacceptable and an affront to peace and security in the state.
Ama ordered the transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Awka for a comprehensive investigation.
He also directed security operatives to intensify patrols, surveillance and intelligence gathering across Awka and neighbouring areas.
The police appealed to residents, community leaders, motorists and business owners who witnessed the attacks or have information about the suspects or their vehicle to assist investigators.
The command assured that information provided by members of the public would be treated confidentially.

The type of problems people will create in our society because of money cannot be solved with money.
The percentage of young men who benefit from relationships in Nigeria is not up to 1%. Na die many of them dey. They are just forcing themselves to be in a relationship.
Professor Ifeanyi Odinye is a professor in the Department of Chinese Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. He is currently facing one of the most difficult time of his life. Think of the shame and embarassment he has caused his family members because he decided to throw away discipline due to the inability to control his sexual urge. Professor Ifeanyi Odinye's job is now hanging on a cliff, held by a tiny rope that is very vulnerable to so many internal and external factors.
Many men have failed to understand how the female mind works. Women are like water. When you have the upper hand, they become loyal and appear to be on the pleading side. As soon as you let your guards down, they gain upper hand and become monsters. Be watchful.
Again, women are like fire. When you have the upper hand, they tend to be loyal and do whatever it seems you want them to do. If you loose guard, dem go use you shine. Just like fire cooks for you and obeys you when you are in control, but becomes a monster when you lose control, same way women act.
Professor Ifeanyi Odinye had the opportunity to nail Favour Okechukwu who took part in exam malpractice. He had the evidences, but he failed to do that due to his desire to have something with the said student. Not reporting the matter to the appropriate authorities, and handing back the evidence to the student gave the girl an upper hand and placed the professor in a tight position where he had already compromised the ethics of his profession and those of the institution.
As a man, do not compromise ethics especially in a professional environment. It even becomes worse with younger women. As a man, act and behave strictly professionally to women in your work environment. Do not make sexual advances at them. Just be professional. It will save you a lot of shame and embarassment. If they default, warn them if it is not too serious. If it is a serious offence, let the hammer come on them. If you fail to do this because you want a slice of their body, you will suffer for it when the evidence or case is allowed to slide.
I remember when I was a school manager. The school had only 3 male staff and more than 50 female staff. About 80% of the female staff were unmarried. I faced severe temptations but I was always professional with them, and that was what saved me. If I had allowed their excesses to prevail or slide because I wanted sex with them, embarrassment and premium disgrace would have hugged me.
Even if you want to have something sexual with any female, let it not be in same environment you work. The moment a woman holds something tangible she can use against you in your professional life, you are already in for it. Be wise. Know your way nor be curse.
There is something missing in the comments I have seen so far on this thread. And that is the issue of examination malpractice on the part of the student. That is why I keep telling men to be wise. The lecturer had all the evidence to nail the student for exam malpractice, but he probably allowed it to slide because he wanted sex. Now see what that desire has caused for him.
