So if I understand clearly, what this article is saying is that a body of ex-students of a school are threatening to sue a school they graduated from because of an administrative decision the school took to hire a new teacher?

How does that work? Is the administration of the school accountable to the alumni? Why do we thrive in "anyhowness" in this country?

The best the alumni can do is express their disagreement sighting reasons why they feel Pantami should not be hired. But to seek to compel the institution to reverse their decision by writ of summons is an aberration. That case is going no where.

The university does not owe the alumni any explanation as long as the university senate approved the move and it was endorsed by the owners of the school, in this case the Federal Government of Nigeria, case closed!

A serious disagreement was recorded here inside Max Airline flight going from Abuja to Bauchi when a woman complained over the 4 hours flight delay, and the pilot and the other crew, demanded that the woman should be taken down from the flight for insulting them even though they are trying to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure safety.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz5FgnGN8sY

The Pilot was seen particularly exchanging words with the woman while other passengers supported her and social reaction from people have shown people calling for the pilot to be sanctioned for being rude.


For some people, it's a parody of "Customers are always right" while for some others "delays can be excused for passengers safety".

Who is wrong here, the passenger or the pilot? see People's reactions on Facebook as Shared on Wall of Hajia Aisha Alubankudi.

With this pilot's disposition, I would think twice about flying on this plane with him in command.

Lot of people do not understand that one of the main dangers of flying is having a pissed-off or mentally challenged pilot who might be harboring suicidal thoughts.

This one in the video looks like he is going through a great deal of mental stress and I would be very wary about being on a plane he is flying.

Most of those trado-bonesetters end up doing more harm than good. To them, all bone and muscle injuries can be corrected by pulling and rubbing the area roughly. That way, they could end up aggravating what would have otherwise been a minor injury.

I STRONGLY advise anyone against patronizing them. Instead, seek out a good orthopaedic surgeon and get your injury checked out. It might be more expensive. But at least it could help save your limb.

There was a simple instruction...

“Sit at home” but the idiot disobeyed.

The stubborn fly follows the corpse to the grave.

I’m sure the owner of the bread business has made all his profit now.

When I read statements like this, it just makes me feel that most Igbos do not have a problem with oppression if it is being perpetrated by fellow Igbos.

Is this the sort of repressive administration that IPOB wants to run in the Southeast? An administration that legislates people's freedom of movement and robs them of their rights to freely determine what they would like to do? If that is the case, why do they have a problem with being a part of Nigeria then? Or is it no longer oppression when an Igbo oppresses a fellow Igbo? Would you be this pragmatic if the bread seller was attacked by people from another tribe?

U mean a girl will ask her mother already seated at the front seat to go to the back? I don't believe any normal human will try that. Your friend is weak, reason his wife had the guts to ask his mother to vacate front seat when she was already seated!

Hmmm! There are a lot of things that do not make sense to me about this "woke generation." This front seat drama takes the cake.

If I had not witnessed it happen between my friend and his wife, I would have thought such was only found in Nollywood.

Stankovic22:
Good evening nairalanders!

This is what happened. A friend of mine who is like a brother to me and has impacted my life positively in every way bought a new car. We work together and live in the same neighborhood so we go-to work together.

It happens that I do sit in front with him always while the third guy stays at the back. So today, on our way back from work, the wife called for him to come pick her and when we got close and stuck in traffic, I decided to vacate the front seat and move to join the other guy at the back but while trying to go my friend was like guy where u dey go... I say I wan create space for Iyawo and he was like Wetin dey worry u, sit down jor but I insisted and went to the back.

So when we beat the traffic and picked up the wife she was like why is the front seat vacant and my friend said... He left the seat for u... The wife was like, please its wrong, that I shouldn't have left.

I was like its your space and I felt it was the right thing to do, to join my other guy at the back before we get to you.

People was I wrong to have vacated the seat?

Neither of you was wrong. You were right for respecting yourself and vacating the front seat because for some women it is a big deal and they can embarrass you.

She is not wrong in telling you not to vacate the front seat for her next time. She was basically just letting you know she has no qualms with such deference to her status. At least now you know that you won't be embarrassed if you decide to keep the front seat next time.

For some women, it is so much of a big deal that they will take exception if their mother-in-law or even their own mother decides to take the front seat.

I have a friend whose wife kicked up a very big fight by pointedly telling her mother-in-law to vacate the front seat where she was already seated and get into the back. The mother-in-law came down and angrily decided to take a cab to the venue of the event. Husband got angry, came down, and decided not to go to the event, and "madam front seat" was left alone to drive herself to the event. This incident happened last year. But I can tell you that things are yet to return to normal in that home even today because of that singular incident.

I do not know why people make an issue of small things like where to sit in a car.

Like Kaduna and Katsina States, the Niger State Government has issued a set of directives to curb the rising insecurity and banditry bedevilling the State.



SOURCE

Same Executive order issued by the governments of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna and Niger state. I am glad more state governors are beginning to realise there is more they can do than depend on the FG to resolve the crisis in their backyards. This move will negatively impact the economies of those states. But if it will help curb the criminal activities within the states, then it will pay off in the long run.

At least they are doing something unlike that clown in Benue State that mounts a soap box every month end issuing anti-Fulani propaganda and insulting Buhari to hide the fact that he is probably the worst governor in Nigeria.

A few years from now, Benue people are going to look back at the eight years this governor spent and realise it was an absolute waste. Nothing concrete to show but this consistent anti-Fulani propaganda.

greenguy:
This is dignity. Nigerian politicians know nothing about it.

They have seen poverty and believe the only way to secure themselves is to steal three generation's fortune and stash somewhere. Stupid lots.

Naaaaah this isn't dignity at all. Sounds more like laziness or a lack of vision and ambition to me. With an educational and experience profile like that, he is pecking way below his pedigree. Even God go vex for am.

If you doubt me, read about the parable of the talents told by Jesus in the Bible and relate it to this.

udomma1005:
We've come back to the main point.......
Las... Las.... Education Issa big scam, just use ur mind & hands, you'll rule your world!

Even if that was to be the case, how about his experience profile? Dude's been a CEO of a telecoms service provider for crying out loud!

This story makes absolutely no sense to be honest. 2 masters degrees in communication and engineering from Oxford University, former CEO, long experience in telecoms leadership and the only job he could get is pizza delivery boy

The story isn't adding up at all. We'll, except if he is under some kind of asylum arrangements that restricts him from applying for and getting any white collar job in Germany and perhaps the EU.

But with an educational and experience profile like that, he could offer business and management consulting services for a lot of money. The opportunities for someone like him is literally limitless anywhere in the world.

But pizza boy? Naaaah, there is more to the story.

Taich:
Why does he have to clarify every move?

Probably because a journalist asked him a question about the development.

You need to understand that when a public official is asked a question, the journalist can choose to make of the response they get, what they will...it is no longer under the control of the official what the journalist decides to write.

The official can of course decide to give a cryptic "no comments" response. Although that would still be news nonetheless.

wyt:
We have being in talks since January. We met in late February, then she visited me in late March. We started talking of marriage.

Now she is in my house for 4 months as she is doing her IT here. She found out I am not as buoyant as she wishes, as my business is dragging due to stuff I ordered that is coming through sea hasn't arrived, in fact, will arrive in late October or November.

We scheduled to get married last July but due to the financial issue and her parents saying we have to wait till she is done with school we have to change our plan but she is so bitter that she is not getting married as she planned. She will be going back to school in 2 weeks' time. since

Now, I have discovered that she hardly cum during sex, in fact, she hasn't cum while we make love. She once told me she makes herself cum that is before we met in person around February which she promised to stop.

After she found out my finances is not strong, she got back into chatting with men for cash, yes she told me that is how she makes money to survive in school, that she presents an aura of relationship to men and they will be giving her money, and when she is tired or when the person insist in seeing she will block or just fisle out.

Now she just told me she is lesbian, she is cos she can't get pregnant as her father is a pastor and can be satisfied without the risk associated with men/woman relationships. That she is attracted to women though she hasn't done that for a while as she has prayed against it. She still masturbates while in my house.

Note: she has gone to see my parents and I have met hers.

pls i want to know what i can do to stop her all these social immoralities.

Guy lemme put in short and straight English that will be easy for you to understand:

Run ooo! Japa! Tule! Free am!

When we pray to God to guide our choice of a life time partner, he most often does not send an angel to whisper in our ears. These observations about your fiancee are the sort of signs he lets us see, If you like, you can ignore them and forge ahead in spite of all of the obvious red flags.

Muhammadu Buhari Doesn’t Bear His Father's Real Name — Farooq Kperogi

An associate professor in the United States and social critic, Farooq Kperogi, has stated that the personality of President Muhammadu Buhari seems controversial including the fact that he does not bear the real names of his father.

The scholar wrote extensively on how the President’s surname, Buhari, was not his father’s real name but a name derived from a particular town.

Kperogi added that Muhammadu Buhari’s father is called Adamu Bafallaje (or Bafalle in Hausa).

He wrote:



https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2021/08/top-5-lies-about-buhari-that-wont-go.html?m=1

This essay doesn't say anything new and frankly, the point of this elaborate treatise is lost on me.

President Buhari is almost at the end of his tenure. I expect that people like Mr. Kperogi will be focusing more on the people that will be throwing their hats into the ring for the 2023 elections.

CAGED: 20 Days Captive In Nigeria - Rudy Rochman

"They Treated Us Like Animals"

The We Were Never Lost team journeyed to Nigeria to film an episode of their documentary series exploring the stories, struggles, and aspirations of the Igbo Jews, but while there the team got abducted by the Nigerian government and were held in cages for weeks.

Here is the full account of what actually happened.

“Our experience has only given us even more drive to uncover and share the stories of disconnected communities of Jews around the world.”

“We experienced weeks of what Igbo Jews face every day and if our suffering has led to mainstream Jews waking up to the reality of their Igbo family, then we our proud of the sacrifice we had to pay.”

Editor: Checkout How IPOB Bloggers captioned the story in the last photo collage

What did they expect really?

There is a separatist movement in that part of the country by people claiming to be jews and claiming Israel is about to launch a war on Nigeria to liberate them.

A bunch of guys show up from nowhere probably after obtaining tourist visas and begin to film a documentary. I frankly don't see how they could have avoided being arrested and interrogated.

I think the DSS only did what was right.

DSS detention isn't a 5-star accommodation so I don't know what the fuss is about. I am sure they were treated much better than their own security agencies will treat a Nigerian arrested for the same reason in their country.

The Niger Delta fought a war of attrition for years. The north took the baton and that has been on for over 10 years now. While we are doing all we can to quell that fire that was foolishly left to burn out of control, the southeast wants to walk down the road to perdition.

Afterall all said and done, no region thrives while a full-blown war is being fought on their land. This thing that IPOB/ESN is trying to start will only end in premium tears. I hope wisdom prevails on all sides.

Blurpy:
I think the behaviour of Nigerians in diaspora needs to be curtailed or rather we need to caution them often as they are bringing more problems to us. I don't get how some people will be lucky to get visa to a more developed country and go there to constitute nuisance and commit crime to earn a living, some of them even plan before hand to go and overstay their tourist or visit visa and become illegal immigrants.

This is all shades of wrong, we are doing more harm to ourselves as a nation, we should stop that. Some parts of Europe, Nigeria is synonymous with prostitution, while India, South Africa, Thailand etc, a Nigerian is being looked at as a potential drug dealer, other countries like Turkey, Ghana,UAE etc, the scammers there have done a very good job in giving us a bad name.

Recently, some Nigerians in Dubai engaged in cult clash taking human lives in the process which ended up getting a direct employment visa ban on Nigeria.

Ghana, on the other hand has visa free access to Singapore, Dubai, South Africa just to mention a few, while a Nigerian passport holder will have to go through a lot of cash and stress just to visit these places.

I know the country is bad and most people are looking to leave, we should not go to another country to commit crimes, we are only making this harder for ourselves, we will all be stuck here with nowhere to go.

There's no reasonable place a Nigerian passport can take you without visa, even amongst the visa free countries and visa on arrival countries, there's still a high chance of being sent back at the port of entry.

Imagine Nigerians having to wait for four to five months just to get a response from South African embassy here, same Africa oh, just response, not that it'll be approved oh.

Please we should be good ambassadors of our country, there are a lot of Nigerians doing fantastically well in various sectors as medical doctors, nurses , in academia as lecturers, engineers etc, let us not allow the bad deeds overshadow the good deeds.

You'll hardly hear of a Kenyan, a Senegalese etc being caught in a crime outside of their country. The pressure to make it big and fast then come back home to pepper others is a contributing factor! We can do other legitimate business and still make money.

Stop going to Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey etc all in the name of collecting UPDATE to make it!. Please!

It is really unfortunate that with all of these and so many more criminal activities of our fellow Nigerians in diaspora, we are quick to lampoon the country for the poor state of our international passport. Ghana recently gained an ease of visa restrictions to the UAE for instance and Nigerians went amock on social media blaming Buhari for the situation.

I feel that until we all realise that we are all collectively responsible for improving the country's image by carrying ourselves in line with the laws of other countries, we will not make much progress.

AroleOduduwa2:
I won’t be surprised if those awards were bought. He seem like a good cop, but I will like to know why he is yet to arrest any one from the north where banditry and terrorism has ravaged. Why only the southern most of which they kill extrajudicially. We don’t even know if they are guilty or not.

He did not arrest anyone from the north you say?

Are you sure you read everything that was posted? Read the list of arrests and accomplishments again...this time, slowly.

KratosCorp:
British government should explain why they issued a replacement passport to a British citizen? Oh lawd.

Just imagine how depraved and animalistic Nigeria has turned you despite your education. You now defend government criminality and lawlessness with shameless vigor.

This is how you lots defended Buhari for breaking into the judges' homes at night, forcing a CJN out of office illegally to install his stooge. Now what have happened to any of those judges after the media trial?

Did you see how you conveniently left out the fact Buhari sent criminal soldiers to kill Nnamdi KANU extra-udicially - in which process they killed 28 armless young men in cold blood for choosing to stand by their leader.

I'm not about to indulge you in a pointless debate about something that we both obviously know very little about.

Let us watch as the international politics play out. I guess if you are right, Britain will soon move mountains to rescue its illustrious citizen from the Nigerian government.

If I am right, on the other hand, Mr. Kanu will be tried by the Nigerian government and put away for a very long time.

Time will tell.

Danchibez:
U lacked knowledge of international law, so keep quiet. The Nigerian govt u r supporting fail woefully on this. No judge in the world will ever allow the trial of NK without sorting out the circumstances surrounding his kidnap from Kenya to Nigeria which is a breach of international protocol. Try to kn the meaning/process of 'repatriation', it is good for ur health

Ok o! International lawyer

If you like call it kidnap or abduction, Kanu is back in Nigeria to face trial. When the case resumes hearing, you can go to the court and display your knowledge of international law.

SeeThisLoser:
https://punchng.com/britain-firm-seek-kanus-consent-to-take-over-case/

Only a gullible bunch of illiterates will believe the nonsense that this lawyer is spewing.

Mr. Kanu is on trial in Nigeria; was granted bail and fled to another country. For this reason, his bail was revoked and the courts issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He was apprehended in a neutral country where he went of his own volition and brought back to Nigeria to face trial.

Nigeria is a sovereign country and whatever issues the UK has with his arrest will be resolved through diplomatic channels. Bad enough that the UK has to explain how and why they issued another passport to Kanu who is a fugitive from the law. After all, one of the conditions of his bail was that he deposit both his Nigerian and British passports with the courts.

If they like let them involve the largest law firm in the world, Kanu will be tried here in Nigeria and jailed if found guilty. Every other thing na diplomacy go settle am.

SenecaTheYonger:
I’m convinced now that South Africans are indeed like Northern Nigeria especially their men. The country is only civilized and prosperous because of the presence of White men. I didn’t believe this before, but it’s starting to make sense.

South Africa could not have become what it is if it was solely Blacks.

I can say that Nigeria is really trying because we’re solely Blacks with the north constant pulling is backwards but we still the strongest economy in Africa

This is a very silly take.

Was it northerners that looted and burnt down government structures in places like Lagos, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta State and the likes?

In Cross River, they even went as far as looting the State Owned Psychiatric hospital, stealing hospital beds and signpost.

But can't Nigeria afford an F16 at least?

Even if we can, I doubt very much that they will sell to us.

Warplanes aren't gotten off the shelf. There are a whole lot of diplomatic maneuvers involved in their procurement. See how many years it took us to get this set of Tucanos delivered even though Nigeria had to pay way above the regular market price and 100% upfront for them.

I am not a constitutional lawyer. But I do not think there can be a completely new constitution without making provision for it in the current constitution. I might be wrong though, but I think there must first be an amendment before we begin to talk of a new constitution.

https://dailytrust.com/breaking-nlc-suspends-mass-action-in-kaduna

Good one from labour.

Now is a good time for Governor El-Rufai to show good faith by opening up lines of communication and reconciliation. At the end of the day, we are all striving for the good of Kaduna State and Nigeria at large, albeit in different ways.

The process of change is rarely ever pleasant. But the governor as leader of the people must do all he can to cushion the effect and ensure the ordinary people do not suffer too much.

oshozondii:
https://dailytrust.com/just-in-kaduna-crisis-gradually-degenerating-into-anarchy-nulge

Let the labour unions and the governor enjoy the anarchy they have jointly created because neither can be exonerated on this matter.

The idea of rightsizing the state civil service is a great idea but can be considered ill-timed given the dire state of the nation presently. However, this sort of total strike embarked upon by the NLC is not just ill-timed, but ill-advised. It seems our labour unions aren't in tune with modern ways of engaging and negotiations.

Unfortunately, the NLC is dealing with a governor who isn't afraid to walk a road alone provided he believes that he is on the right path. Follow El-Rufai's history from his days in the BPE up till the present and you will see that he is very consistent with taking decisions that other leaders shy away from for fear of rocking the boat.

The NLC should have exhausted all lines of dialogue rather than this full-scale "war" that they got into. Like El-Rufai said yesterday, the NLC has played its ultimate card with this attempt to shut down the state. Such a move does not really inconvenience the government but weighs more on the masses - the very people they claim to be fighting for.

In a country where most people depend on a daily wage to survive, how long does the NLC think it can sustain this strike action before those masses succumb to the pangs of hunger and call for a suspension?

I think the governor, being the leader of the state, should toe a more reconciliatory line by openly calling for dialogue rather than this hardline stance he has adopted. If I were him, I would go to the rallying point of the unionists and speak to them there and then work out a compromise. Going forward, the governor needs to eschew high-handedness and ensure that tough decisions are taken with a human face. Leadership is about give and take and this hard line does not augur well for anyone.

Similarly, the NLC needs to call of this needless "total strike" because, in the long run, it puts more stress on the people. They need to explore channels for mediation and seek a table with the governor to discuss the issues and agree on a plan. Going forward, strikes should be used sparingly and always as a last resort so as not to further exacerbate the fragile security situation across the country.
