Can you please tell us the dress code of future leaders?
Mark zuckerberg wears just his brown T shirt to work, yet he's one of the most influential people in the world!

Another. Can you show me one Mark Zuckerberg in LASU to justify the wearing of rags to lectures.

mmsen:
Was Steve Jobs a 'leader'?

Did he waste time worrying about what he wore or did he focus his energies on the task at hand?

You chaps just love extremes. And how many Steve Jobs are there even in America. Please the bulk of these misfits don't even come close.

This is attempt to instill corporate culture in our students.
In those days, the University does not have to make these rules they are naturally the norm!
University students dresses as if they are already working in the corporate world.

Note that the school was careful enough not to mention any religious dress by name. No metion of Hijab, Burka or camisole.

Just dress to make sure you comply and your face is not completely covered, shikena

Hmmmm. So they now all dress as if they want to work for Don Jazzy...

All political office holders do it on both sides of the divide. I'm certain this is one of those statements he will either retract or say he was misquoted. Opposition is easy.

Hahahahaha. Chai. Nigeria. Which one cum make pastor dey brandish matchete. Dat one na to run 440. No be by force mbok.

Double post.

Well said. I can expect no less from the foremost institution in Nigeria and I salute their continued patriotism and outright professionalism in the face of daunting challenges.

I will never elevate the views of an individual over that of an institution. Even Presidents come and go but institution remain eternal. Jonathan will one day go. Obasanjo has gone almost a decade now. Why is he trying to undermine the very institution he was party to building. Why.

How can one spend half of a century being a prostitute?

Its her age that is 50 not her active years in service. C'mon, who can do that rubbish for 50 years even if you wanted to buy the Taj Mahal.

tonididdy:
We always see pictures of dead BH suicide bombers and the pictures of the innocent victims a blast claimed.





BUT




We never ever see pictures of piled up or atleast one or two BH boys shot dead by our suppossed military. All we have are imaginary battles won and victorious headline covers.
Nigerian Military, where are the bodies of the self-claimed BH boys u have taken down?

Lots of photos. Even on Nairaland just a few days ago. Check the archives and have your fun. Those who are in the midst of it all donot need pictoral evidence.

@Bold:
MEND supports Buhari. People like Asari and Tompolo can either make their communities a WarZone or work with Buhari to bring the need Industrialization, Job Opportunities and Massive development to the South-South that has supported Nigeria for Decades. The choice is theirs. Am optimistic they will make the right call for the sake of the good people of Niger-Delta.

After 6yrs in power and Trillions of Naira spent, in Port Harcourt, Jonathan accepted that he did nothing for the people of South South and resorted back to the same "I-Will-Do" that he promised in 2011.

Vote for Progress. Support Buhari for competent leadership.

Competence was not the best foot forward 12 months ago. It was about anti-corruption. Jailing looters. What has happened since then.

Bizibi:
Obj,ibb and all these old generals need to die for this country to move forward....they are our problem

Hmmm. I doubt that. They may be the naughty generation but how do you account for the popularity of the Tinubu's and Akpabio's (to be politically correct) who have stolen billions. Look at the mirror and tell me from your heart whether this isn't true and whether you don't back one side or the other. That is the problem. The backing. The man in the mirror.

To show you how bad and upside down things are in Nigeria, Buhari's MAIN appeal and hitherto campaign theme was anti-corruption stance. Now this. Concessions here and there. On a good day in a land far, far away he will be grilled on this and by Monday his popularity will be seeking re-entry. That is Nigeria for you. Nothing changes.

So Obasanjo and Jonathan are on the same page on the Buhari anti-corruption bruhaha. I was right when I said last year that to move to the centre Buhari will have to dine with pigs. It should be clear to the so called masses that the establishment has won. Buhari HAS LEARNT HIS LESSONS that Nigeria is corrupt because of the very Nigerians voting him in and animals in general donot eat their kind.

Ex-Presidents are cutting deals. If he can't look at an ex- and say to his face, 'you are going to jail', what can he do about those with immunity. What about those outside his federal reach, what about those of other 'marginalised' tribal leanings and religious affiliations. What will he do about the all powerful and equally notorious National Assembly. What about the cartels who have more cash than the government, the billionaires club and their influence.

What if all these blocs fuse together to maintain the status quo. What will he do. To me, one concession is as good as one pin prick in an otherwise good tyre. Its just a matter of time. That is why it is useless to pin one's hope on just a man to handle widespread, deep-rooted, systemic problems. It is a collective effort not one of horse and jockey.

If car fail break can't the driver steer it towards an obstacle like pole, sand or concrete and Why is d car positioned that way? He enter with back?

K-legged story

Okay you Krauts, a good number of 'vehicle entries into buildings' are in reversal simply because of deflection. Buildings have all sorts of obstacles in their path and if the speed is great enough the car will bounce off one and spin.

Hmmm. Any CCTV footage for uploading to 'Most Shocking" - Naija drivers happy hour.

But na danfo go dominate cum spoil show.

owobokiri:
If there is any benefit for Nigeria and the Nigerian army from this war, it is the slow but steady modernisation of the military. . Barracks used to be so porous in terms of human traffic before untill the suicide bombers started targeting the sodoms called mammy markets, few war planes begging for servicing, general operational disorder, achaic tanks and all that. But now, Shekau and his bearded friends have forced the Nigerian army to come to terms with the requirements of modern warfare. The NA is not there yet but it is making a slow progress.

We delibrately underfunded and dismantled the military as a fighting force as punishment for their years of intrusion into the political space. First by IBB (which I personally witnessed) who saw the members of his own corps as a threat and so did not invest in upgrading equipment. NACA also suffered. The Ikeja bomb blast wiped out a lot of stores OBJ never replaced. It was a testament to the decline of those two critical corps. And OBJ concluded with the retirement of many top commanders who had any combat and peace keeping experience. GEJ inherited a hollowed out military. Unfortunately for his as a civilian.he could not read the danger signs and.act swiftly enough. He was being told typically that everything was in order.

Music generates great passion and emotions so it could be motivating, inspiring or destructive. I guess the general rule is: what are you trying to achieve by listening to 'that' particular work or piece.

If I am a soldier going into battle the last thing I need to hear is, “draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord to the cross where thou has died...". That is self defeating. Fela's "Zombie" is a lot better but will be totally out of context on a Sunday morning like this.

Sportsmen going into competition, artistes, sculptors, painters, architects, designers all listen to different types of music to inspire them or to give them that mental edge, that motivation to perform. Music is powerful.

I listen to a lot and even some considered of very poor taste. I could remember a particular incident in which I had to leave Lagos for Portharcourt by road at 11pm after a hectic day. Guess what artiste I played all night to stay awake.

Finally, the mind is a great reservoir of thoughts and information. Music and lyrics are stored subconsciously so when you listen overtly or covertly to certain pieces you really don't appreciate, like those magnetic tapes of old write over them with new material. Listen to the right stuff to 'detox' the mind. Which means you should listen to music often because there is a lot of bad stuff out there all the time and your mind is a fertile ground for corruption.

I will sincerely like to see what Buhari can and will d if elected. Honestly its as bad as it gets. I can personally confirm about half a dozen with water tight evidence. But again it is the people who decide what happens and.they are comfortable and supportive of them so it continues. Corruption CAN NEVER END NOR DECREASE only transform from one grouping to another.

Females in general and female comedians in particular, not just the local ones. Comedy is a man's thing whether stand up, stage or screen. Women simply cannot tell a joke.

idupaul:
I now support AiG MBU since he can't start arresting all those policemen that carry rifles while wearing mufti and bathroom slippers.

Why are they called bathroom slippers. I walk barefooted in the bathroom. I can imagine what a few drops of water between rubber and floor tile can.do since there are enough hard surfaces to bang your head on.

Boss13:
A shame to the Nigerian army. I feel highly insulted by the comments of the Nigerien, but they only said the truth. We actually do not need a multi-national troop to curtail the insurgence, if only the Nigerian army had provided the right equipment and morale for the soldiers. I can feel Gen. Olukolade feels insulted and I am also glad. The issue of boko haram was politicised now the cock has come home to roost. Our image in foreign affairs, especially in Africa, just hits the rocks. We used to be admired, now we are laughed at and now mocked.

Anyone under duress will get an abundance of mockery. That is not new. When you eventually succeed you become the cynosure of all eyes. When we were gripped with the scourge of ebola we were mocked in the west and even fellow Africans joined in. When we succeeded we became the cynosure of all eyes. Same with this fundamentalist scourge. We may be slow on the uptake but we will be the first once again to put this monster down and it will be the military taking the credit just like our doctors.

barcanista:
Now my position is this, I don't support religious politics. I'm a strong critics of desecrating the christian calling and reducing it to political tool. This is one of my anger against the fraud called CAN. #TeamAPC shouldn't do what PDP is doing otherwise someone like me may get totally pissed! While it is okay to worship with any religious house and meet with any religious organisation but it becomes worrisome when financial gratification is added to the booty irrespective of the amount. Buses can be provided, accommodation can be arranged but cash shouldn't be part of it when meeting with religious bodie/groups in order not to create a negative impression.

You are very naive. You think the streams of corruption arise from one spring. When I say the corruption we see is territorial and arises from structural imbalances in this country people think I know not what I say.

Let me lecture you on what the real Nigeria is about. Because we donot have power equilibrium in Nigeria EVERY aspirant to office WILL HAVE TO SETTLE the other side in order to enjoy safe passage and longevity. Failure to do this is courting trouble and a threatened breakdown of the system.

Whether by omission or commission the present government is paying through its nose to 'contain' the north. Yaradua did same in 'amnesty' to hold the south. If Buhari wins he will have to 'pacify' the south through massive bribery. He is already doing so with the Christian community and will do so till his tenure expires.

My friend. Corruption in Nigeria CANNOT end under the present structure. The society demands 'settlement', everyone feels he is marginalised. Nigerians practice and enjoy the 'entitlement' culture. Buhari tried unsuccesfully in 83'. He will try again. There may be superficial results at best but he cannot do it. He is a Nigerian. He has already made too many concessions. That is the fact.

Okay na. You go turn to fossil before archeologist go show interest.

It takes extraordinary military achievement to be a field marshal. General Agwai was the closest army officer in Nigeria to be a field marshal because he commanded one of the largest peace keeping operations in the world in Sudan. He was appointed by the United nations and he is one of the finest army officers Nigeria has ever produced.

You are absolutely, totally so, so wrong. General is the pinacle of a ranking (serving) member of the armed forces. The rank of Field Marshall is a symbolic, ceremonial, temporary honour given to non serving members invited or visiting the theatre of war or significant operations such as Heads of State, retired top ranking servicemen, etc.

If Agwai was visiting front line troops today (of course he won't do so in mufti) in some special advisory role at the bequest of the government he will be ranked a Field Marshall (to establish a clear line of seniority between him and the serving generals) for that short period of time.

But in all seriousness.I cannot consider the present insurgency signifgicant enough to bring in old war horses.

neighy:
lieutenant general is below Major General...

Okay oh....and I'm certain you have called someone clueless in the last five years or so.

OP,the NDA is more or less a primary schl when compared to the American defense academy. We 've not got there yet.

Oya Mr. Wet Towel. Name your own profession, institution, school, vocation for comparative analysis.

egesie:
highest rank is Lt. Gen, former COAS Ihejirika was a Lieutenant General

And what happened to the full Generals.

neighy:
the Rank after Passing out From Nda is 2nd Lieutenant... And the highest rank an army officer has gotten to in Nigeria is Major General..

Major General？ Check that coffee again for contaminants. Its killing you slowly.

Estimable:
INFIDELITY......nawaoh

No. Its actually in 'Access Bank'.

madridguy:
@ OP PLEASE CHANGE THE TOPIC TO " DANGOTE LOSES HALF OF FORTUNE HE MADE THROUGH THE EXPENSE OF THE MASSES "

GOD WILL CATCH ALL OF THEM.

At the expense of who. Do you work or not or do you own a business. At whose expense do you make a living. Please elevate your thinking and get rid of this shabby attitude.

Babaneh:
How much does it cost to build a new one if repairs could cost this much?

That is why government has no business in business. They lack the fundamentals. And the NNPC is the worst thing to have ever happened to the economy of this country. Whoever set up that criminal enterprise ought to be executed or jailed for eternity. That organisation is worse than the 'Cosa Nostra' in criminality and sworn secrecy. It stinks to high heavens. If you work or once worked there and have not repented I cannot assure you, your vacation cruise to the hottest part of hell is booked and fully paid for.

She should just....go away. She is one of the reasons this government has become very unpopular. For all the perceived benefits she brings, the cost has been and will be catastrophic. She should have been removed ages ago.
