Nigeria is not rich. What Nigeria really needs now is to expand its economic base, we need to have more than 10 solid sectors firing all cylinders, i mean sectors that can employ a lot of people, instead of oil being d mainstay of our economy, build infrastructures from revenues from oil while building other sectors, invest in technical education, cut senators wage.... and we'll be alright.

I agree to all what u said but how do u cut senators wages and who will cut it down?

pot calling kettle black... though he's right sha

I did my post graduate there in 2013. Those busses can make you lose weight in just one trip. Plus the terrible Iworoko road...

as in ehn.... ok tot you finished there . I did tho and I can fully relate to what you saying bro .

truth is movement, navigating Lagos airport and it's surroundings is so stressful itself... car parks are too far away , u can't do drop off at the departure level without been hurried by those war combating looking policemen with riffles. Nigeria things don't tally with international standards at all when it's come to aviation and airport matter.

SarkinYarki:
You cannot stop people from coming into Airport floors except the departure lounge which has never been open to non travellers from time immemorial ..Are they aware airport floor contain businesses open to members of the public , I can decide to go there to use a Bureau de change or just to drink coffee made by my favorite barista

may sense not kill you there bro.... it's a completely stupid decision to make.... how can you say families and friends can't see their brother, sister , father , mother loves ones off ? same thing happened to me though in October when I escorted my uncle friend to airport for his flight , one oversabi uniform guy said I should see the other guy if I want to enter to help with his luggages. me that don't like to bribe I stayed outside , he took his luggages inside by himself.

chigoziri2403:
Gangster with sense!

gangsters dey Nigeria ? it's not our culture bro ... dancer with sense instead

flexyrule:
Looks like the okoto we used back in the days at University of Ado Ekiti.

u graduated from unad ? those buses called akoto were pains in the ass with 442 formation. do they still carry students like that now ?

dominique:
I thought Agbara was in Ogun State. Ogun state makes a lot of IGR from that area yet they can't pay new minimum wage.




I find this odd and impressive at the same time, it's always the other way around in most cases. I hope the government creates an enabling business environment for them as well as local businesses.

yet they can't fix the bad roads in that area... shame on Ogun state

President Buhari is far more Educated than Atiku
Oct 30, 2018 | RICHARMOND O. NATHA-ALADE
Why Buhari Needs his NEPA Bills to Contest as President than a Certificate- Richarmond O. Natha-Alade
There is this latest of ‘cries’ in town; that President Buhari be made to submit his Secondary School Level Certificate to the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) for him to be able to qualify as a presidential candidate of the APC, otherwise he stands disqualified.
These ‘cries’ is the longest of all cries in the history of Nigeria and Presidential candidacy. It is over 12 years old.
I’d watched with amazement and much sense of disbelief how much many of the national stakeholders makes a mountain out of the molehill on this certificate issue. All I could sense is, Buhari must be stopped at all cost, notwithstanding what matters as law and justice of the matter.
Even when the law is turned upside down in favour of the view that President Buhari must be stopped at all cost, all credits goes to the National scavengers who are professionally theatrical of their being continuously hypocritical about the whole.
The law may be inadequate, but it is clear on what and what is needed for any aspirants to aspire to be Nigerian President. The inadequacies of our law cannot be robbed on what the seeming-want adequacy of the system by unjustly attacking an individual to produce what the law had not required of him.
By provisions of section 131 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, (1999), as amended, President Buhari is not required to submit a certificate to be able to contest an election as Nigeria President.
For ease of reference, I hereunder reproduce the said section as follows:
A person shall be qualified for election to the office of the President if –
(a) He is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
(b) He has attained the age of forty years;
(c) He is a member of a political party and is sponsored by that political party; and
(d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
The above provision of law is clear and unambiguous. In the face of law and it unambiguity, the questions to ask are;
1. Is president Buhari a Citizen of Nigeria by Birth?
2. Has President Buhari attained the age of forty years?
3. Is president Buhari a member of any political party and/or being sponsored by a political party?
4. Has President Buhari been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent?
The answers to the above questions are not far-fetched. To me, all the questions sound more rhetorical than usual because the answers are so obvious and self evidencing that it demands no answer.
The only issue that seems unclear is what definition to be given to ‘School Certificate or its equivalent’ as contained in the provision of section 131(d). But the puzzle on same which could have been a subject of interpretation before a court of competent jurisdiction is already resolved by section 318(1) of same constitution. The interpretation section of the constitution defines “School Certificate or its equivalent” to mean:
"School Certificate or its equivalent" means
(a) A Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher's Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or
(b) Education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and –
(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and
(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year, and
(iii) the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission, and
(d) Any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission
By the provisions of law above, could it be said that the law requires a certificate for a candidate to contest as president of Nigeria? The facts speak for itself in answer to the questions.
The law is trite that no one is permitted to read into the statute what is not contained therein. See SAVANNAH BANK V. PAN ATLANTIC SHIPPING & TRANSPORT AGENCIES LTD & ANOR (1987) LPELR-3021(SC) pp 124-130 (Para C-E); also TINUBU V. I.M.B SECURITIES PLC (2001) LPELR-3248(SC) where Per KARIBI-WHYTE ,J.S.C held at ( P. 46, paras. B-E ) as follows;
"The liberal approach to the interpretation of our Constitution counselled in Nafiu Rabiu v. The State (1981) 2 NCLR 293, (1988) 12 NSCC 281, does not encourage reading the provisions to neutralise the public policy principle protected by the provision. It has never been allowable and the sacred obligation of the Courts is not to construe any of the provisions of the Constitution to defeat the obvious ends the Constitution was designed to serve…”
Outside the above provisions of law and facts surrounding the missing WASCE Certificate of President Buhari, no one had come out to fault the genuineness of the record of the WASCE results as presented by president Buhari as kept by WAEC and Cambridge. No one had fault the statement of result of the President’s WASCE sat for in 1961. No one had come out to fault President Buhari’s outstanding records of holding public office for not less than ten years, No one has come out to fault the Curriculum Vitae and public life of President Buhari which had been repeatedly published and circulated in the public domain which I hereunder for ease of reference reproduce as follows:

Without going too legal, with the above credentials of President Buhari, do we need any soothsayer or facts-finder to tell us he fulfilled the entire constitutional requirement to contest as the President of Nigeria? Is it so difficult to observe that this Five star General of the Nigeria Army has his rank equivalent to that of Professor in the Academics?
I make bold to say that Millions of Nigerian Graduates, Masters Degree holders, Doctorate Degree holders and Professors don’t have 10% of President Buhari’s Qualification; academically and professionally.
In my humble view, Buhari and Osinbajo are two different professors in their respective fields of profession who are currently leading Nigeria. President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo are well read and experienced than any Nigerian President and vice president since the advent of the fourth Republic in 1999.
What is the justification, The peak of being a university teacher is to attain professorship, the peak of being a Lawyer is to be SAN, the peak of being an Army is to be a General E.t.c.
I would ask a simple question, where was Atiku Abubakar when General Buhari was leading troupes to war for the sake of Nigerian peace and stability? Where Was Atiku Abubakar when President Buhari was fighting tooth and nail to keep the unity of this country? Where was Atiku Abubakar when the Biafra War almost tore apart the nation he wishes to be president over?
I make bold to say that President Buhari had been selfless all his life. All his accusers had grown up only nurturing their ambitions, feelings and wetting their appetites. They have never sacrificed for this country than towards selfish ends.
Let us close our eyes, pretend and assume that President Buhari is not good in business as Atiku claims and that all Atiku’s wealth were consequent upon to his hardwork and not stolen funds as being widely alleged. Let’s pretend not to be aware of what Olusegun Obasanjo wrote about him at page 32 of his book, ‘My Watch’; Could Atiku Business had prospered if Nigeria is torn apart by war, hostilities or distress? Could his so called achievement have been possible without peace?
Any man who cannot respect your chosen career should please ‘japa’, as life is a matter of choice. You should be more respected more if your profession is service, selfless, honour, life saving, sacrificial and for common good. That is General Buhari’s Profession. God bless Nigeria Army.
Methinks, How could someone who holds a National Diploma since 50 years ago without anything else or more be said to be well read than a professor of war in practicals and academics?
Buhari towers above his majour opponent by experience; being a Military head of state and now president of our dear country which Atiku had never. This outside President Buhari other experiences and virtues as honesty, selflessness, dedication, contentment, maturity and gracefulness among others; not possessed by his opponents.
President Buhari had being serving in the public sector of Nigeria decades before many Nigerian youths were born. He had served as public officer in the Nigeria Army for decades, which is a constitutional qualification on its own. He had held several public offices for decades, which is another qualification on its own. He has more than enough trainings among others.
INEC under the constitution is given wide range of powers and discretion to determine whatsoever, If INEC requires Buhari’s proof of residence and demands his NEPA bills as proof, it is much stronger to be complied with than a certificate that is never mentioned.
By my judgment and common sense-supposed, aside the integrity issue which President Buhari is unflawed and unparalleled, checking and judging from various records of the duo, I make bold to say that President Buhari had read far and wide, He is more read and experienced by all standards than Atiku Abubarkar. He has more than enough certificat
es, certificate equivalents, experiences and credentials demanded for as criteria by the constitution of Nigeria to contest and hold the said office.

A girl I paid her mother's hospital bill, fed and provided for her and paid her expired house rent around May with my hard earned proceeds from keke without making any effort to bed her (until marriage) have the mind to have sex with another guy in the house I paid for.

your biggest mistake in life is to believe that nowadays Nigeria girls are worth it .... most of them are liability in almost all ramifications. embrace yourself bro and move on.

The way Bois go dey rush korea embassy now ehn.

truth is it's not just south Korea alone , watched on CNN where either Poland or one European country women were protesting bare chested that their men sex game is poor blah blah . I was like wow imagine what these women are protesting for . so for South Korea it might be that their men are equally poor in bed so to meet their sexual demand they switch in using black guys who most the white ladies believe they are good in bed with big joystick.

this is extremely evil , may God almighty brought those who did it to book . rip to her soul
