Niger's defence ministry didn't say any such nonsense.
When will APC stop ridiculing our soldiers, our military and our country?

ElUmas:
"You will need a computer with a reliable internet connection to take the online test".

Guys., I'm planning to use my iPad for the exam oo because it's the surest internet connection I've got. Or is it strictly a computer thingy?

Ipad is a computer.

yemolzy:
Pls make sure you have your valid Drivers license its very important.
You can as well get a temporary one for it will be a decider for recruitment.
That's what I heard.

Would they really have another test after this?

I haven't heard anything from them throughout the build up of the election and even before.
Is the TV station going down or what?

omenka:
If it is Mynd44, then it is worth reading...

Really unfortunate and indeed shameful we are being robbed in broad day light yet due to the sheer greed of our so called leaders who are bent on ensuring the cookie jar isn't rattled, they keep mum and sometimes even deliberately enhance these robberies!

If we cannot rise above primordial prejudices where we believe it is inconceivable that "our neighbor can never do us more good than our brother" then we might as well kiss any chance of our collective emancipation goodbye.

Too many questions abound in the second Niger Bridge project, few off which the op highlights. It is left to us to seek answers to these questions and not have them trivialised and eventually forgotten just like the other important issues before it.

God help us.



Ps: Mynd44, you would be wasting your time expecting a reasonable argument or debate from these guys. The only one among them who bore the slightest semblance to an intelligent person, Datolee, has already deactivated his account.

Which 'we'' is this ape of no nation talking about?
Hope they aren't Igbos.

nobilis:
That Christian schools were taken over by the government; permits to build churches were held up while there was zealous building of mosques??

Does that equate to Islamization of Nigeria?
Is that definition of Islamization?

Na wa oo.

If that is not Islamization, what is?
You think it is by coming to flog you to convert to Islam?
You are so dull.
It is a gradual and tactical process.
How do I begin to explain the significance of slowing down the growth of churches and speeding up the proliferation of mosques to you?

Maku must be a real threat to them since they are so pained by his defection.

nobilis:
To be frank with you, I couldn't see, in that whole article, where it was said that Buhari was master-minding Islamization of Nigeria.

So I wonder why this thread has a misleading title.

You didn't see the part in bold too?

TheOtherview:
Oh I am leaving for good once the deactivation button shows up on my profile. I have made that much pretty clear.
I am only sticking around for now, till the end of February, to ensure the OtherView also gets heard.
See how much weight the forum owner has to stack up on your side of the fence, just to give you Lilliputians a fighting chance?

Bla bla bla. We have been hearing that story since time eternal.
You are completely irrelevant to the success of the forum and that point must have really sunk in you.
Enjoy your humble pie and make sure you don't choke on it.

Aderupoko2:
PDP lie effortlessly

That is a 1986 article by an American paper.
PDP wasn't in existence then.

TheOtherview:
To the embolden - I say, provide your proof or shut the f#cuk up.
It is way past the curfew placed on NL's intellectual dim#wits, so scram.

Shameless Eguerrilla.
Thought you said you were going to leave Nairaland?
You have discovered how irrelevant you are and how much stronger the forum was going without your presence, you now create alternate accounts even after the forum owner made your decision easier by banning you.
Fool.

TheOtherview:
I am in full support of @OP's scrutiny here, as I believe no stone should be left unturned in the interest of transparency.
But coming at a time when up to 3 in 5 university dons fall into the same category, I am not sure about the mileage that can be derived from this particular thread?

2nd Source: NIGERIA: Three in five lecturers have no PhD

By the way, has anyone seen a copy of Jonathan's MSc/PhD thesis yet?

Guy, your are the biggest idioot ever.
Your article said 60% of Nigerian lecturers don't have PHD not 60% of Professors.
Know the difference.
I will say 99% of Nigerian Professors have PHD, why is Osinbajo among the 1% that don't have? What are his achievements in his field?

KANO, Nigeria— In a room next to the open-air student mosque at Bayero University, Abubakar Imam Ali-Agan nudged his red felt cap up off his forehead. A Koran, the edges of its pages blackened from use, lay on the table before him. ''We ought to be a Moslem state,'' he declared. ''Inshallah,'' murmured the two dozen students crowding around Mr. Ali-Agan. ''God willing.'' Here in the northern heartland of Nigeria, agitated demands for the gradual Islamization of the country are impassioned and growing louder. Calls to impose Islamic sharia courts in the largely Christian and animist south have been increasing.
And the same voices are urging the Government to accept membership in the Islamic Conference
Organization, a 45-member group of
predominantly Islamic countries. Islam binds this section of the country together,
crossing ethnic and linguistic boundaries, defining
the soul of the north. But across the south, from the
eastern Ibo to the preserve of the Yorubas around
Lagos, Islam is seen as a shadow spilling across
Nigeria's shaky secularism. 'Potential to Destabilize' ''This really does have the potential to destabilize
the country,'' said a banker here who is to move to
Lagos soon. ''I think it is fair to say there is tension.
It has always been there, but it's been on a more
subdued level. It's always been there, but it's never
been the real issue it is now in Nigeria.'' Most experts on Nigeria agree that Moslems
constitute close to half of the total population of
more than 80 million and that Christians make up
roughly one third. Most of the rest are animists. The
experts acknowledge that census information is
not reliable and is out of date. In Lagos, anxiety over the burst of Islamic fervor is
acute. ''It's a dangerous, explosive trend,'' said Dele
Giwa, editor of the influential weekly magazine
News Watch. ''In the worst case, I see a situation
where die-hard Christians and die-hard Moslems
are fighting in the streets.'' For more than a month, northern religious leaders
and traditional rulers, editorial writers and students
have been campaigning for the establishment of
sharia courts - religious courts for settling disputes
between Moslems according to the dictates of the
Koran - in the country's south. Already, sharia courts in the north hear some civil
and domestic matters. Criminal cases remain the
province of government courts. 'Part and Parcel of
Our Life' ''Sharia is part and parcel of our life,'' said Mr. Ali-
Agan, who is the secretary of the Moslem Students
of Nigeria at Bayero University. ''If you tell me there
is no sharia, then I have no right to live here. If you
are telling me sharia has no right to come to
Nigeria, I cannot live in Nigeria as a Moslem.'' When Arab traders first started journeying by camel
across the Sahara, one of the desert's tracks ended
in what is now Kano. With them, the traders
brought architectural styles and a flare for
commerce. They also brought Islam. Today the small modern portion of the city is
jigsawed by sweeping boulevards intersecting in
huge ''roundabouts'' echoing British colonial road
design. Vespa drivers, the sleeves of their white
robes billowing in the wind, dart between battered
taxicabs. City workers in long pink cotton shirts sweep the gutters. But it is behind 10-foot-high ocher-colored mud
walls that the old city lies, the center of Kano life.
Inside the old city, the ancient Kano market is still
the scene of trading, a place where craftsmen
embroider the multicolored pillbox hats, or fula,
typical of this area, where money-changers squatting on mats will accept Swiss francs,
Japanese yen or Canadian dollars, where metal
workers under low mud arcades hammer silver
stirrups and bridles. The Call to Prayer Every day at 1 P.M., the call of the muezzin
summoning Moslems to prayer strains faintly from
the mosques scattered about. Trading slows.
Women with jugs of water balanced on their heads
trundle through the alleys that channel among the
shops. Plastic prayer mats, made at a factory in town
owned by an Indian, are rolled out in darkened
shops, next to piles of vegetables. In narrow side
streets, thousands of faithful turn eastward and
touch their foreheads to the ground. ''If you are looking for a perfect typical Hausa city, a
Moslem city, it's Kano,'' said Abba Dabo, the
managing director of The Triumph, the only daily
newspaper published here. ''Here is a more
traditional town, an older town.'' There is a widespread feeling here that the south
has somehow sprinted ahead of the north in
education, business and industry, that the south has made greater strides in escaping the restraints of tradition and that it is, as a consequence, unfairly prospering. ''Historically, the Hausa have not embraced Western education,'' Mr. Dabo said, referring to the ethnic group that dominates the north. ''Even here, so many people have come from villages to urban areas. They see that the reality is you have to speak English to get decent work. You have to have your education to get a job. They come from their
villages and hate it. There was a tendency not to
follow the rest of the country.'' Leaders Are From
the North
Despite this, nearly all of Nigeria's leaders have
come from the north, and nearly all have been
Moslems. Under the Government of the previous President, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari, many Christian schools were taken over by the state, and permits to build churches were held up while the construction of mosques was stepped up.
Nonetheless, Mr. Dabo said, there is still a sense of insecurity and inadequacy here.

Fake Accounts.

Where has America been able to ensure security?
What is the outcome of their adventure in Iraq after thousands of livers were lost and trillions of dollars spent.

keyremotes:
so it is a crime to worship anywhere you want now as a christian.
One day we shall all praise this man.
OBJ was once treated like this. But today everyone is talking about him.

People who are talking about OBJ are fools.
He achieved nothing.

PassingShot:
Good one. And after comparing his 20 months rule with GEJ's 5.5 years, majority of Nigerians believe he will perform better. In his brief stay as HOS, he showed that he has no tolerance for corruption and indiscipline, and he fought and defeated terrorism of that time. In our judgment, we believe that if he had spent longer time, he would have performed far far better. Hence, we are prepared to give him a four-year term. If he disappoints, WE WILL KICK HIM OUT.

He fought a small gang of rioters then not terrorism, even at that thousands of people still died. He created a lot of dust in the name of fighting corruption, but did he even eliminate or reduce corruption? No, it got worse.
He spent 20 months as Head of state and 6 good years as PTF chairman. He had billions of naira, worth trillions today under his control as PTF chairman for those 6 years, what did he do for the South west?
No beating around just name them.

PassingShot:
If your housemaid fails to perform his/her duties, you first send him/her packing and replace with another one. You can only judge the new one after you have hired him.

False analogy.
We can judge Buhari because he has been there before in many top positions including the highest one.
What did he do for the south west?

Jakpon:
List only 20

After you list one that Buhari did.

People wake up on sunday morning and head to Mbaka's political rally in the name of going to church?
Shame.

omenka:
Desperado. He can sleep in Jesus' tomb till 14th FeBuhari for all we care. It's still not gonna save him from imminent defeat on that day.

If you call a christian worshipping in a church desperado, what do you call Buhari, a fanatical and extremist muslim jumping from one church to another.
That is the height bro.

Jakpon:
...and what has Gej done for the southwest that would make them vote for him again? When was the last time he went to commission a project there?

100 times more than whatever Buhari did for the south west in all the positions he held

IbnSultaan:
#COINUpdate: Curfew is imposed on #MAIDUGURI with immediate effect till further notice as pursuit of retreating terrorists begin."DHQ

Meaning Buhari's campaign will not hold.
APC will start their conspiracy theories.

emeka2847:
There's a difference between staging a coup like IBB or Buhari did and causing division within Nigerian Military like Jonathan is doing today.

Nigeria may just be on track to becoming another Rwanda is the division among Nigerians continues to enter the military.

Worse things than the Rwandan genocide have happened and are still happening in Nigeria.
