You've quoted me. I've noticed you. Now do me a favor and get lost.

In case you don't know the definition of a slave, here's one for you.

A slave is one who is crying for freedom from his Yoruba and Hausa masters. Begging to be released from servitude so that he can go and form his own country.

That's who a slave is. Does that sound familiar?

Now go back to school.
I once heard from a man that the education of an average yoruba is a waste of money and viable resources.......


His reason is simple: No matter how educated he is....he/she must drink that their amala stirred with toilet broom.....making him to think through his anus..



and I can fully confirm that now.....

Mr leave English alone....

when slaves are pained....they resort to bickering

but the issue remains that an afonja no matter how placed is born to be a slave....

he just rushed to London to greet his master.....coz he can't stay without paying enslaved respect.......

If only you had common sense you'd realize that the op may not even be Yoruba but of course that doesn't matter since you are Yoruba-obsessed. Right?
slaves and an act of slavery is synonymous to afonja...

their love only lies to been enslaved by their fulani masters.....

but the issue now is not only that they are wailing as they are been enslaved by their fulani masters......

they are wailing and kicking as they seek to be enslaved by their fulani masters........

Politics › Lecturer Renounces Nigerian Citizenship, Urges President Buhari To Endorse by Reelectbuhari(op): 11:52pm On Apr 15, 2018
Mr Victor Koreyo, Lecturer, Department of Ceramics and Glass Technology, Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Unwana, Afikpo, Ebonyi, has declared intention to renounce his Nigerian citizenship for what he called social injustice.
Koreyo in a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, made available in Abuja, said he was demoted for a period of eight years by the management of the institution and urged the President to endorse his request.

Investigation revealed that a directive was given by the Federal Government in 2007 directing all lecturers to produce additional qualification relevant to the job they do.
It was gathered that the 7th Governing Council of the institution gave Koreyo two years to produce a foreign institution master degree in Ceramic Science and Engineering or he would be dismissed from service.
Koreyo from Nasarawa State, said that the management of the polytechnic refused to communicate the information to him in written.
He alleged that since 2010 till date, the institutions had refused to approve his application for staff development opportunity because the Igbo constituted principal officers in the school.
He also said that several communications to the institution from the Head of Service of the Federation (HOSF), Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Servicom and host of others, on the issue was in his favour for reinstatement.
Koreyo also accused the ministry of Education for allegedly writing a counter-directive letter to the rector to disregard the government directives issued by the HOSF and AGF.
According to him, this is social injustice that is not in line with the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I love to continue as citizen of this great nation on earth.
“But since I do not have the financial power or connection to challenge the Rector to obey the Federal Government’s directives in my favour, I decided to take this peaceful action.
“I believe this peaceful action and step of honour will prevent the rector from killing me by premeditated frustration of my constitutional rights to social justice as the citizen of Nigeria.
“I have nursed this feeling of suicide to end these eight years of frustration by the Rector and officials of the Akani Ibiam Polytechnic division of tertiary education department of the Federal Ministry of Education.
“And have decided the renunciation of my citizenship by birth will be the best way to peacefully end my quest for social justice at the ministry of education and finally resign from Federal Public Service of Nigeria,” he said.
However, a staff of the ministry of education said on condition of anonymity, said that the ministry was already looking into the matter.
According to him, the matter is also before the newly constituted council of the institution.
He urged Koreyo to be patient as the new council would resolve the problem.
“I just got to know that the new council was already handling the matter and it is a national issue.
“ The Federal Government has constituted a body to look into this problem because it is a general problem and not peculiar to him alone.
“ A directive was given to some staff to go and acquire more knowledge and those that brought their master degrees in relevant disciplines were upgraded.
“But in his own case, where he got his masters is not relevant and is not in line as at that time.
“I want to say that the matter is before the new council so he should exercise patient,” the Ministry source said.
Meanwhile, the authorities of Akanu Ibiam Federal polytechnic, Uwana in Afikpo noted that the decision of the institution was in compliance with the directive of National Board for Technical Education (NBTE),
Dr Edmond Oyeneho, a former chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics, Akanu Ibiam Federal polytechnic, Uwana chapter, said in Afikpo that the institution was acting on instruction.
According to him, NBTE in 2007 introduced a policy aimed at ending the dichotomy between polytechnic and University education in Nigeria.
He said the policy, which upgraded the course content of Polytechnic education to be at par with University education, also mandated lecturers in Polytechnics without Master degrees in their core areas to upgrade.
He explained that the policy took about three years before its implementation started across Polytechnics in Nigeria.
He noted that many lecturers in the polytechnic system, who had fallen short of the new requirements had to enroll for either Master in Science or Master in Arts degrees programmes in their core areas.
“At the expiration of the three years grace period all Polytechnics in Nigeria including Uwana implemented the policy by demoting all lecturers in the system without Master’s in their core areas to lecturer 1.
“Those who went and remedied their situation came back and were reinstated to their former positions.
“Koreyo was therefore in line with the policy demoted from the senior lecturer position he previously occupied to lecturer 1 because of his failure to upgrade his situation.
“He is a lecturer in the department of Ceramics and Glass Geology but he went to Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), to do a Master degree programme in Management Project and was awarded Master Business Administration (MBA).
“The academic programme did not fulfill the NBTE requirement because MBA is a professional programme, while Master of Science (M.Sc) is an academic qualification required to teach in Polytechnics and universities, ” Oyeneho said.
Oyeneho, a senior lecturer in the Department of Public Administration and Director, Internally Generated Revenue in the institution, criticised Koreyo’s threat to denounce his Nigerian citizenship.
He said that the institution would not be blackmailed and forced to reinstate him to his former position in disregard to existing policy direction.
” He is not alone in the situation and it will be a disobedience to existing NBTE policy to isolate him for preferential treatment.
“The MSc programme was sponsored by TETFUND with N5 million study grant and affected lecturers receive their full monthly salary through out the duration of the academic programme, ” he added. (NAN)

Education › Re: Honour For 16-year Old Who Broke College Records With 343 JAMB Score by Reelectbuhari: 10:20pm On Apr 15, 2018
GrandPa01:
THE first time Ibrahim Ajibade wrote the Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board, JAMB Examination in 2017, he
was 15 and scored a whopping 299. He went on to write
the University of Lagos, Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination, UTME, and got one of the highest scores that
year. He was however refused admission on age ground.
Only 16-year-olds and above can be admitted into
universities in Nigerian.


Ibrahim wasn’t however deterred. He studied harder, added
a year and sat again for the examination this year. As if
reinvigoured, he surpassed last year’s scores by miles,
returning with an amazing score of 343. He also became
the first ever student to score that high in the 24-year
history of his tutorial centre, Adams College, Oshodi, where
he took classes for the examination.


In recognition of the feat, Ibrahim was honoured alongside
80 others including another 16-year-old, Edgar Onyemuche,
who scored 341 and 19-year-old Adekanbi Iyanuoluwa, who
scored 342.


Ibrahim who attended Vanguards Academy, Ijebu Ode
wants to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the
University of Lagos because of his passion and love for
electronics. With the help of God and his father, who is an
Electrical and Electronics Engineer, he hopes to start a
smartphone manufacturing company in Nigeria sometime
soon.


Asked to share the secrets of his success, Ibrahim said he
reads but not much. He however said, “What I read, I don’t
forget.” He also said this year’s exam was “very easy,”
adding that he knew he would do well right from the
moment he cliqued submit in his centre, although he
wasn’t sure of what he would score.


More surprising is Ibrahim’s declaration that, “I was not the
best in my class at Vanguards Academy. We were 34 and I
wasn’t among the first 20. I was only good in Mathematics
and average in other subjects. But when I came to Adams
College, Mr Adams by himself transformed my Physics and
Chemistry, which helped me a lot.”

For his brilliance, Ibrahim got a reward of N100, 000 from
a parent, Mr Adekunle Fatai.


A visibly proud father, Engineer Abdulafeez Ajibade
described his son as a fighter, who, if given little guidance
will always do well. He however said he never in anyway
tele-guided him to follow in his footsteps but said he
supported and will keep supporting him in his endeavour.
His mother, Sherifat Yusuf Ajibade on her part says Ibrahim
plays a lot but has always been very intelligent.


As a mother, she said all she does is encourage him,
“especially when I found out that with encouragement and
motivation, he does very marvelous things.”


19-year-old Adekanbi Iyanuoluwa, who scored 342 from the
same centre intends to study Medicine and Surgery at the
University of Lagos. She actually thought she would score
less and was therefore pleasantly surprised.
Iyanuoluwa who has written JAMB 3 times and scored 247,
202 and 274 respectively said she kept rewriting the exam
because she needed a higher score to study her choice
course, Medicine and Surgery.

On her study routine, she said she usually study after a nap
until she feels tired and sleepy. She also hinted that
Adams College brought out the potentials in her.


On his part, Edgar Onyemuche, 16, who scored 341 said he
also first wrote JAMB at 15 and scored 278.
He said he chose study Mechanical Engineering in Unilag
because he feels it is one of the best universities in the
country.
Edgar, who also said he wasn’t particularly the best in his
secondary school said, “When I saw my score, it was
unbelievable because I wasn’t expecting it. It was like a
dream. JAMB released other results before mine so when it
came, I couldn’t believe it.”
His pattern of study, he said, is “30 minutes, take a break,
and then go back again,” adding that he believes more in
knowing and taking advantage of one’s strength.


Founder of Adams College, Adams Adebola expressed
visible joy during the awards ceremony, saying he feels
happy seeing young boys and girls who have distinguished
themselves and embraced hard work.
“At Adams College, we always embrace hard work; for
example, before they wrote their JAMB examination, we did
six monthly examinations which we call MOCK. This is
done to be able to know their challenges and we encourage
them by giving gifts to the best five students in all the
faculties.


“Also, if in a school students know that you don’t embrace
malpractices, they know they have to read to pass.”
“We also let them know that if they continue with the
culture of hard work, there are scholarship opportunities
opened to them which is why many of our students are on
scholarship in top universities in Nigeria.


“We lay a good foundation for them and we teach them
how to read which they can apply when they are in the
university. If you are used to our reading lifestyle, it will
work for you anywhere,” he said.


Speaking on Ibrahim’s performance, Mr Adams said he
didn’t expect anyone in the college to score as high. he
however said Ibrahim always surprised him during the
MOCK examinations. “He scored 98 out of 100 in Physics
which has never happened in the college. We have also
never recorded 343 in our college. Our students used to
score 300 and above but never 343,” he said with visible
pride.

This will be my Tribute to Prof J.O.C Onyemelukwe, just laid to rest in Nnewi, April 2018 as I mourn with his son and my friend, Obiora Onyemelukwe.
While lamenting the atrocious Post-War Punitive Policies of the so-called “Federal Government” of Nigeria in Igboland and the heinous outcomes, Chike Onyemelukwe wrote as follows:

“By plan since after the War, the Zone by Official Federal Government Policy was denied Infrastructure to support meaningful Development. Roadways, Water, Electricity, Seaports, Airports, Federal Institutions, Foreign Embassies. NotIgb only that, Self-Help Community efforts was outlawed right after the war in East Central State. It was outlawed, because Nnewi developed a Master-Plan for Nnewi that would have Nnewi businesses headquartered at Nnewi, with a Market bigger than Onitsha Market with Roads and Highways to the Food-Producing areas. It was at the stage of raising the Funds in the Nnewi traditional manner that the news got to the Federal Government. East Central State was forced to pass an Edict, to the effect that any Community that raised Funds for Community Projects, shall forward the raised Funds to the State Government. The State will decide what the money will be used for and where. Some will remember that at the end of the War, people were forced to drive from Sokoto, from Lagos, from Madugiri to Nnewi for Motor Parts. By 1973 the Roads and lack of structures forced the business people to relocate to Lagos and from there to other parts of Nigeria with roads and etc. Our people were forced out of Igboland. The Professor that led the effort on the Master Plan for Nnewi at that time was buried Thursday last week, Prof J. O. C. Onyemeluke. He drove from Ibadan every two weeks in a Volkswagen Beetle, for a working meeting with other professionals.”

As it was for shutting down the Nnewi Master- Plan, so it was for shutting down the only Power Plant in Igboland at Oji River built by the Government of the then Eastern Region to Provide Electricity to the Eastern Nigeria.

joeyfire:
It is such a privilege to be here in a conference in honour of Professor Chinua Achebe, an inspiration and teacher to all of us.
I have a long connection to Nigeria. Not only was I, an Ambassador there, I have travelled to and from Nigeria for a number of years and have a deep and abiding vital emotional attachment to the Nigerian people, their magnificence, their courage, artistic brilliance, their irony, sense of humour in the face of challenges, etc.

And, I hope that we keep that in mind when I say some things that I think are counter to what we normally say about Nigeria. And, I say that with all due respect to Eric Silla, who is doing a magnificent work at State Department and to our good friends from the legislature; because I have a feeling that we both Nigerians and Americans may be doing Nigeria and Nigerians no favour by stressing Nigeria's strategic importance.


I know all the arguments: It is a major oil-producer, it is the most populous country in Africa, it has made major contributions to Africa in peace-keeping, and, of course, negatively if Nigeria were to fall apart, the ripple effects would be tremendous, etc. But, I wonder if all this emphasis on Nigeria's importance creates a tendency to inflate Nigeria's opinion of its own invulnerability.

Among much of the elite today, I have the feeling that there is a belief that Nigeria is too big to fail, too important to be ignored, and that Nigerians can go on ignoring some of the most fundamental challenges they have,many of which we have talked about: a disgraceful lack of infrastructure, the growing problems of unemployment, the failure to deal with the underlying problems in the Niger-Delta, the failure to consolidate democracy; and somehow feel will remain important to everybody because of all those reasons that are strategically important.
And I am not sure that that is helpful.

Let me sort of deconstruct those elements of Nigeria's importance, and ask whether they are as relevant as they have been.

One in five Africans is a Nigerian, so…

We often hear that one in five Africans is a Nigerian. What does it mean? Do we ever say one in five Asians is a Chinese? Chinese power comes not just for the fact that it has a lot of people but it has harnessed the entrepreneurial talent and economic capacity and all the other talents of China to make her a major economic force and political force.

What does it mean that one in five Africans is Nigeria? It does not mean anything to a Namibian or a South African. It is a kind of conceit. What makes it important is what is happening to the people of Nigeria. Are their talents being tapped? Are they becoming an economic force? Is all that potential being used?

And the answer is Not really

And oil. Yes, Nigeria is a major oil producer, but Brazil is now launching a 10-year programme that is going to make it one of the major oil producers in the world.

And every other country in Africa is now beginning to produce oil.
And Angola is rivaling Nigeria in oil production, and the United States has just discovered a huge gas reserve which is going to replace some of our dependence on imported energy.

So if you look ahead ten years, is Nigeria really going to be that relevant as a major oil producer, or just another of the many oil producers while the world moves on to alternative sources of energy and other sources of supply?

How influencial is Nigeria?

And what about its influence and contributions to the continent? As our representative from the parliament talked about, there is a great history of those contributions. But that is history.

Is Nigeria really playing a major role today in the crisis in Niger on its border, or in Guinea, or in Darfur, or, after making many promises, any contributions to Somalia?

The answer is no. Today Nigeria is not making a major impact on its region, or on the African Union or on the big problems of Africa.
What about its economic influence?

Well, as we have talked about earlier, there is a de-industrialisation going on in Nigeria” lack of infrastructure and power means that with imported goods under globalisation, Nigerian factories are closing and more people are becoming unemployed. Nigeria is becoming a kind of society that imports and exports and lives off the oil, which does not make it a significant economic entity.

Now, of course, on the negative side, the collapse of Nigeria would be enormous, but is that a point to make Nigeria strategically important?
Years ago, I worked for an Assistant Secretary of State who had the longest tenure in that job in the 1980s; and I remember in one meeting a Minister from a country not very friendly to the United States, came in and was berating the Assistant Secretary on all the evils of the United States and all its dire plots and in-things in Africa.

He was going on and on and finally the Assistant Secretary cut him off and said, You know, the biggest danger for your relationship with the United States is not our opposition but that we will find you irrelevant.”

Nigeria-America relationship

The point is that Nigeria can become much less relevant to the United States. We have already seen evidence of it when President Obama went to Ghana and not to Nigeria. He was sending a message that Ghana symbolised more of the significant trends, issues and importance that one wants to put on Africa than Nigeria.

And when I was asked by journalists why President Obama did not go to Nigeria, I said, what would he gain from going? Would Nigeria be a good model for democracy? Would it be a model for good governance? Would he obtain new commitments on Darfur or Somalia or strengthen the African Union or in Niger or elsewhere?

No he would not, so he did not go.

And when Secretary Clinton did go, indeed, she also went to Angola. Who would have thought years ago that Angola would be the most stable country in the Gulf of Guinea and establish a binominal commission in Angola?

So the handwriting may already be on the wall, and that is a sad commentary.
What it means is that Nigeria's most important strategic importance in the end could be that it has failed.

That is a sad, sad conclusion. It does not have to happen, but I think that we ought to stop talking about what a great country it is, and how terribly important it is to us and talk about what it would take for Nigeria to be that important and great.

It takes an enormous amount of commitment. You do not need saints, you do not need leaders like Nelson Mandela in every state, because you are not going to get them.

South Korean example

I served in South Korea in the middle of the 1960s and it was at the time when South Korea was poor and considered hopeless. But she was turning around, later to become, to every person's amazement, then the eleventh largest economy in the world. I remember the economist in my mission saying,it did not bother him that the leading elite in the government of South Korea were taking 15 to 20 per cent off the top of every project, as long as every project was a good one.

That was the difference. The leadership at the time was determined to solve the fundamental economic issues of South Korea and turn her economy around.

It has not happened in Nigeria today. You don't need saints. It needs leaders who say, You know we could be becoming irrelevant, and we got to do something about it.

2019: Fashola will be Nigeria’s next President – Prophet Fakolade

Published on April 15, 2018 By Chijioke Jannah

The leader of Divine Intelligence Ministry, Prophet George Fakolade, has said Nigerians would vote the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, to replace incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

He stated this in a statement issued to journalists in Abuja on Sunday.


According to him, Fashola would make his cabinet ready before assumption of office, step-up the fight against corruption, spare no sacred cows, and heal the nation.

Fakolade also said the incumbent Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, would continue in office under Mr. Fashola for the sake of continuity and in the interest of the nation.

DAILY POST recalls that Prophet Fakolade had accurately predicted that Nigeria will experience a change of government in 2015.

His latest statement reads: “Mr. Babatunde Fashola of Lagos state is the person chosen by God as President and Commander-in-Chief in Nigeria come 2019.


“Under Fashola’s administration, the situation in which Presidents are booed or booted out of office in shame and ignominy in past times would no longer continue.

“He would announce his cabinet on his first day in office and take-off without delay. Fashola’s government would take-off in grand style with all hands on deck. The present sick administration and government shall become history.

“Before Mr. Fashola assumes office in 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari shall beef-up security around him like an incumbent. Anti-bomb and explosives experts shall open all letters for him like in the case of ex-President of the United States, Barack Obama, before his historic election.
“He would consider the entire nation his constituency, eschew parochialism in his appointments and make no excuse for failures.

“Fashola’s government would also step-up the fight against corruption and spare no sacred cows. Treasury looters can only run but cannot hide. God maintains that Nigeria still stinks with corruption and more arrests will be made.


“Having duly reflected on the incumbent Director-General of DSS, Lawal Daura, in my previous prophecies, I predict he will continue in office under Mr. Fashola for continuity and greater successes for all Nigerians.”

Please can the bold ever be true?
