Dear Sir: Recall that the Committeeof Needs Assessment of Nigerian (Public) Universities, CNANU, was set up by Government as a result of the dispute between Government and ASUU in respect of the funding requirements needed to arrest the rot and reverse the decay in the Nigerian University System. Recall also that the Committee submitted its report to Federal Executive Council, FEC and National Economic Council, NEC and a Technical Committee was set up by NEC to draw up the action-plan to guide government in implementing the recommendations of the Report. Recall also that the Technical Committee had submitted its report to NEC, which was approved and sent to FEC. Recall also that FEC had approved the report and the President had also approved the memo sent to him in respect of the Report of the Technical Committee.
For our Union, the setting up of a committee to implement the recommendations is a very welcome development. We are however alarmed by recent developments in the work of the Committee. We therefore wish to make the following observations with regards to the workings of the Committee. We find it necessary to make the observations in order to stop the Committee from derailing from its core mandate and creating even deeper crises in the University System.
ESTABLISHMENT OF OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK AND METHODOLOGY
1.We are worried that the Committee is yet to start working on the Technical Report of the NEC Committee that was approved by the NEC and FEC. We believe that the approved report together with the Main Report and the Individual University Report should form the basis of what the Committee will be doing.
2. We are concerned that the Committee, four weeks after its inauguration, is yet to come up with a roadmap for implementation of the CNANU Report. We are worried that there is no plan on the ground on what to do with the other numerous recommendations besides the ones that the Committee had chosen to commence with.
3. While we believe that the committee must start from somewhere, a general plan of action is necessary for the successof the committee.

Sincere 9gerian: I said it. Tinubu and Buhari have infiltrated ASUU. Only a compromised union would remain rigid despite the govt making concessions of N130billion. In the history of ASUU strike, no govt had ever made this sort of committment towards solving whatever the grievances of ASUU are.

Sir, be sincere at least for once. U mean u actually believe the FG hook, line, and sinker.
To me, the F.G has failed in its responsibility and should totally be blamed for this.
BTW if ASUU didn't go on strike, will the F.G even be willing to do anything.
Did u hear of any F.G commitee b4 the strike?
Seriously, the F. G Has failed woefully on this, now trying to blame the opposition.

Instead of speculating and making the whole matter worse.
I think the federal goverment should try as much as possible to meet ASUU'S demands.
Now everything is just too complicated.
ASUU has decided to leave the negotiation commitee.
The commitee also decided to stop negotiation.
F.G says it's all politics of the opposition.
Now Students will have to wait, wait, and wait.
God help Nigeria

The Nigerian Government has decided to break off negotiation with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) over what it called the infiltration of the union by the opposition to discredit the government.
SaharaReporters gathered that as the committee set up by the Nigerian government to negotiatewith the union gave a verdict of non-compromise on the part of the union and 'security report' of the infiltration of the opposition, it decided to break the negotiation.
It was revealed that the committee had reported to the government that the union had remained 'rigid and unbending' to suggestions on how to agree on some of the issues it was agitating for so as to end the strike which had entered its ninthweek.
The committee had told the government that the union leaders were arrogant and selfish as their interest was paramount to that of their students who had been at home all this while.
The government after the report told the committee members that it had fresh security report that the union's stance on the lingering crisis in the education sector was as a result of the opposition's infiltration into the union.
It said the opposition wants to portray the government as irrational and uncaring to the plight of the lecturers and their students as well as present the government in bad light to Nigerians and the international community.
The government in breaking the negotiation has decided to fund individual student's education as it is done in advanced countries.
As a way of making nonsense of the industrial action by ASUU, SaharaReporters gathered that the government plans to introduce loans to the students throughout their period in the university so as to cushion the effect of the financial hardship on the students.
The government expects the students to re-pay the loans after graduation provided they get jobsof their choice. It however could not be ascertained how the loan to the students would compel the lecturers to call off the strike.
The National President of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Fagee, had last week during a press conference at the University of Lagos, Nigeria said the union had pulled out of the negotiation between the union and the Nigerian government citing insincerity as reason for its decision, adding that the union would not call off its strike until the agreement the government signed with the union in 2009 is honoured.

Salam alaikum brothers and sisters.
It's been a while here and i have really missed alot.
Let me comment as follows:
The issue of women not been contempted. Well, let me say categorically that this a characteristic of all human beings whether male or female.
Though, in a marriage knowing fully well that a MAN is supposed to take care of the woman ideally.
It's thus expectd dat statements like that are made from her. But experience has shown that it's usually made out of anger, frustration and not in the real sense of it.
But as a MAN if your wife tells you that what have you done for her since you're married,Then Your reaction then wil speak more for you.
If U're d type that'l go on mentioning i bought phone, laptop, cars etc, U'l just keep on goofing because she'l keep on mentioning what others have done for their wives which you've failed to do which's a minus on ur own part.
Things like these are expected in marriage, but the way u manage it portray the kind of Husband u are.
Finally As Singles, let's imbibe the culture of been grateful when we're married.
As a Man, u should be able to thank ur wife for washing ur clothes, cooking, taking care of d home etc.
And as a woman, u should be grateful when he pays ur bills, buy u clothes, take u out etc.
All these make Marriage blissful, joyous, memorable and as prophet said been the best to his/her family.
Prophet S.A.W said: 'THE BEST AMONGST YOU IS THE BEST TO HIS/HER FAMILY,AND AM THE BEST AMONGST YOU TO MY FAMILY.

@Alanbb and Opendo pls kindly help us with right infos about Actuary.
How do you get started?
How's the Exams?

Is't meant only for graduates?
Other general infos will really be appreciated.
Thanks

Good Morning Better By Far Aspirants.
It's no more news that the waiting day continues.
Just want to implore you with all sense of humour that you should continue with that dogged spirit that has brought you thus far.
Don't Panic, Don't Be Afraid, Don't Be Pessimistic, Just be yourself with a good sense of optimism, hope in GOD, PRAYER that as we start this new week, May the List not only be released, but May You be among the admitted into this great Citadel of Learning.
Wishing you all the very best.

Well, It's really nice hearing different perspectives to the issue at hand.
My 2 cents is this, Marriage is not a 1 person's affair and should be treated as such.
The fact still remains that you can NEVER find a PERFECT SPOUSE. But there's always a room to improve.
Okay,speaking from a guy's perspective since most of the comments have been the other way round.
What if the lady in question doesn't know how To cook or her meals aren't prepared very well, and the husband is a good cook in that case what do you expect?
@deols if a man doesn't know how to dress properly and the wife can, and you sincerely Love him,by teaching him so, he can even be better in that afterwards.
In conclusion, you can only get the near perfect match and have to work on others, and besides do your ISTIKHARA very well before saying a Yes or No.

It is also incorrect to say that EFCC didn’t pursue preventive measures as regards corruption. We fully appreciated the fact that the twin strategyof prevention and sanctioning must always go together inlaw enforcement in general and fighting corruption in particular. The preventive measures of the EFCC were often overshadowed by the news selling headlines about arrests but EFCC took a lot of preventive measures. Major onesinclude the establishment of the Training and Research Institute that has been carrying out studies on corruption prevention in both public and private sectors. The institute is in the lead in training of detectives,public servants, bankers and so manyothers in Nigeria today.
The former governor of Ekiti state had his own local issues. He lost out with the elite of the state, his political party, and other stakeholders. His ordeals had nothing to do with the EFCC. In all the cases, it was obvious that the governors lost out with their political parties and therefore the assembly members were more than willing to act on the thorough investigation reports of the EFCC. The reports were the extent of EFCC’s involvement in those impeachments.
As a proviso, I want to state that all the actions we took while at the EFCC were taken with the purest of intentions and based on available facts before us at the time. But it is understandable that in everything we do as humans, we are bound to be misunderstood. However, fear of being misunderstoodshould not be an excuse for not moving to salvage our country. As citizens, we all have the civic responsibility of playing our part in healing the country of its myriad of maladies and guiding it to the coast of prosperity.


http://leadership.ng/news/200813/truths-lies-and-my-efcc-days

I read Mahmud Jega’sDaily Trustcolumn a fortnight ago, with the title “Gra-gra Versus Softly-softly”. It was composed in his characteristic meticulousness which also touched a nerve that concerns all. It also involved me, personally. It involved me because the piece was not only about anti-corruption struggle, something I came to be more identified with in the course of my career, but also because I was mentioned, or referenced to, many times in the piece.
In the piece, Jega repeated several erroneous notions about my work at theEconomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). But to be fair to him, those insinuations were far from being his concoctions. They have been held for a long time by a sectionof Nigerians who were largely misinformed about the modus operandi of the EFCC I headed, or about me as a person. I therefore thought it a duty to correct some of the wrong impressions people have about what we did, for the sake of futurity and the reading public.
I must, however, appreciate many of the positive things about our operationsand modest achievements at the EFCC highlighted by Jega. Those were things we achieved largely because of our resolve to form a strong and professional agency, from the outset. Strong institutions are at the base of whatever things to come out of a system.This was a major focus for us. There were deliberate stepsat capacity building that would prove extremely advantageous for thework we did in the five years I was there.I use “we” because the work was never aone man job. EFCC was beyond Nuhu Ribadu, or any individual for that matter. It was a team work. The patriotism, esprit de corp and professionalism exhibited by the teamwere the secrets for our successes.
But as I always insist, success of anti-graft efforts is hinged largely at the leadership level, especially the politicalleadership. We were lucky to have the cooperation of the leadership at the time. To the credit of President Olusegun Obasanjo, he let us do the work even at atime we were going against some elements that were extremely close to him. It is therefore amusing when I hearpeople these days charge me of “selective justice”. Well, perhaps those charges could be passed as the example of what Wole Soyinka called “ our collective amnesia”. Take a comprehensive list of high profile people EFCC brought to justice, majority of them were people that could be correctly tagged “Obasanjo boys”. Even though some of them suddenly turn around the moment they found themselves in trouble with the law, as a way of buying public sympathy. Unfortunately, many people don’t strive to stretch the facts to reveal this truth. One largely neglected pillar of our work was the Judiciary andthe criminal justice system generally. We had the support of other people in the justice administrationchain. Without the will of incorruptible judges and other law enforcement officials,all our modest effort would have come to nought.
However, the main thesis of Jega’s essay,which was also madeclear from the title, was that the EFCC I headed was something of a gra-gra agency — a body that is peopled with exuberant officers eager to arrest suspects in order to hit the headlines. This is a flawed assessment ofit. It is also somethingthat people come to believe, largely on account of the agency’s portrayal in the media. EFCC was, and is, never about arrests. In fact, arrest was just a fraction of the entire work. But because arrest is what makes the news, the myriad of steps and processes we follow before andafter arrest are mostly overlooked.
Every step in administration of a corruption case is carefully outlined andhas its rigours and identified procedures. A lot of work would have to be put in from the point of accepting a petition or starting a case, analysing it, identifying the key issues and persons, investigation, sourcing documents, obtaining arrest and search warrants, preparing charges and then arrest. We tried to work on eachof the steps in a very meticulous manner. Itis a little surprise therefore, that throughout my period there was onlyone person who tookme to court challenging his detention by the EFCC.He also lost the suit. The reason was simple: we followed the law and thereforehad to do our homework before wepick anybody. Similarly, to point to the meticulous nature of what we did, it is in record that the EFCC recorded a world record of over 90 percent convictions on all the cases we prosecuted.I don’t think gra-gra would yield these results.

Yet, with the peculiar efficiency of democracy, which thrives on financial muscle, media support and the hopelessness of the gullible masses, the election and re-election of candidates that are guaranteed not to fulfill the needs of the populace at that point in time is almost always ensured.
Of a system that has been in place in its present form for over 2000 years in Europe, a former presidential candidate and wife of a U.S. president, Hillary Clinton while on visit to Nigeria said “now our democracy is still evolving…” A. Akbar Muhammad in 2008 in his article, ‘Democracy’ fails Africa,’ said: “Africa needs a form of government that speaks to its culture and traditions. In many areas of Africa, the influence and importance of tribal leadership cannot be dismissed. Any system of democracy that is developed must take into considerationthe reality of tribalism.” Research, led by David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University in 2012 found that people were simply not “smart enough” for democracy to work. Nowsome people quickly and almost reflexively with spinalthinking, sort of under a spell, splurt, “well nothing is better than democracy…do you want authoritarian rule?” I am not sure that thatis the opposite of democracy. Do we know what democracy even is, as we have seen its redefinitionand condemnation based onresults? Have we ever sincerely considered the known flaws of democracy, which include ‘tyranny of themajority’ the ‘voting paradox,’ ‘deadly divisionism,’ among other serious shortcomings? Famous African prophetic singer, Fela Anikulapo Ransome-Kuti in his ‘Teacherdon’t teach me nonsense,’ democracy song, proposed that if you are taught by a good teacher and you make mistakes, he should correct you, but if the teacher doesn’t, it means their teaching has different meanings from what you might imagine. Contrary to the popular misconception, democracy did not build Europe, colonial conquest–ofAfrican, Arab and Asian resource, technology, knowledge and manpower–did.
As we evaluate the poverty, underdevelopment and frequent bloody sectarian crises in Africa; as we notice the increasing ‘tribal’ splitting of the continent’s people, the hopelessness, mal-governance, the expanding terrorism. As we witness the protracted crisesin Egypt, in Nigeria, in Ivory Coast, in Zimbabwe, in Kenya,perhaps it is time we begin to think of and discuss revolutionizing our leader selection system in consideration of the peculiarities of our highly ethnicized clime. Before the social media era, recalcitrant dissent was easily contained so flaws in leadership systems were suppressed without everyone realizing. But now, times have changed. Technology to coordinate dissent and objection is readily available and so also is technology forterror. In consideration of these ‘dangerous’ advances, leadership and social organization must be carefully reevaluated and if need be, overhauled. The Greek elite promoted the democracy we have today, however it is pertinent to realize and appreciate the fact that the Greek philosophers never favored public participatory democracy. Plato, Thucydidesand Aristotle described democracy as a system that was by default, vulnerable to ignorant demagogues and built to expropriate the propertied. It still is. They favored systems like ‘Philosopher kings’ rule and ‘Benevolent dictatorship.’ Democracy is not our magic bullet. If it’s broke, perhaps we should leave it, or at least, give it a thought.

Genesis (NIV Bible) 19: 4 Before they had gone to bed,ALL THE MEN FROM EVERY PART OF THE CITY of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
The Cattle (Quran) 6: 116 Wert thou to follow THE COMMON RUN OF THOSE ON EARTH, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie.
In the Palestinian legislative elections of 2006, Hamas won 74 seats to the ruling-Fatah’s 45, becoming able to establish a Hamas majority government. The British Conservative head of the European Parliament’s monitoring team, Edward McMillan-Scott described the polls as “extremely professional, in line with international standards, free,transparent and without violence.” Immediately after the election victory, the Quartet (United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and Russia) and Israelimposed crushing sanctions on the Palestinian authority and this ended in a violent breakup and a divided Palestine. In approval of the split, in 2007 sanctions wereeased on the Fatah led West Bank, while more severe sanctions placed on the political victors, Hamas and the Gaza strip. The then U.S. secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice immediatelyadded the following statement to the definition of democracy: “Democracy brings not just rights, but it brings obligations and responsibilities too.” Defining democracy as somesort of culture, she went on to say, “And one of those responsibilities is to care for and to be a fighter for peace,and not for war and not for violence.”
In Nigeria, during the 5th republic, following the successful introduction of Sharia law in Zamfara state by the then governor, Sani Yarima, there were gigantic protests in the northern states, likewise demanding for Sharia law. Surveys conducted across northern states delivered a response rate solidly in favor of the introduction of Sharia law, inthe 73-97% range. See ‘Margit Cleveland, “Acceptance of Sharia Law inNigeria,” in Paul Marshall (ed), The Talibanization of Nigeria: Sharia Law and Religious Freedom.’ Credited as ‘dividends of democracy,’ by 2000, 12 democratically governed northern states in total officially re-adopted Sharia law a century after it had been laid down. The masses supported the adoption of Sharia seeing it as the only solution against the triad of corruption, inequality and poor governance. While many northerners believe the law is not adopted honestly and is used to witch-hunt the poor, while securing impunity for the rich and elite leadership, other Nigerians believe it should never have been adopted. Like it or not, and safe or unsafe within the context of Nigeria as is, the law came into being compliments of democracy. While still discussing Nigeria, the crisesof governance in the 4th, 5thand 6th republics delineate democratic realities.
As poverty ravaged Egypt, popular protests succeeded in sacking the several decade dictatorial regime of Hosni Mubarak. In June, 2012, Mohamed Morsi was elected in a free and fair election as the first democratic leader of Egypt. With 13.2 million of 26 million votes cast, he won nearly 52% of the vote, giving his closest rival a 900,000 vote lead. Exactly one year after he assumed office, an auspicious organization, ‘Rebel,’ with links abroad, claimed it had gathered over 15 million signatures (this was never independently verified); and this claim assisted by increasing artificial poverty in an already hardship engulfed nation now being crippled further by lack of economic support from anti-Islamist Arab nations in a grand conspiracy, paved the way for a military coup. Lack of western and Arab royal’s love for an Islamist government, albeit, democratically elected sponsored the overthrow of the popular people’s choice by gathering together another ‘popular’ people’s choice.
The three cases highlighted point to a peremptory problem with democracy to the attentive observer. Democracy is far from perfect. And the question to be asked is, when democracy fails–to give us what we want–then what should we do? If we rely on a system that at its best can present us with our worst nightmare, how intelligent are we as a thinking race? Between 1000 and 3000 lives have been lost in Egypt in its post third government changing revolution since the first that gained its freedom from the dictator, Hosni Mubarak; and years, if not decades of anger, hate, distrust and terror threaten to define its future. It will hardly be surprising if Mubarak is laughing in his ‘prison room.’ Nigeria’s democratically elected president concedes to be thesecond most hated leader in the world, yet he was elected by a democratic process, andlike him or not, Nigerians have to wait till his term is over, and possibly till his next term is over to then again try to choose someonethey can better rely on.

Good evening peeps.
It's been a while i commented on this thread though have been following you guys closely,
Well, let me not digress at all.
Someone asked if a 2nd choice candidate can be admitted in the 1st list,
Let me tell you this it's very very possible infact i as a person was admitted in the 1st list even though i chose Ilorin as my 2nd choice, I also know of a Nairalander who was admitted to study Law as a 2nd choice candidate.
So, it's possible, if your score's really okay, pray to God well, and by his grace you'l surely be admitted.
Nice Time Guys and all the Best.

OMOSOFE F: Every one can access scholarship. Regardless of your economic state check

www.realscholarship.com

Sir, am sorry i never said that, it seems you getting me all wrong and besides you never stated reasons for your conclusion.

Well, i didn't define scholarship but the Dictionary did.
Well, your point is one of those things causing it.
Am not against any1 applying 4 scholarship but am just been inquisitive i.e most of those applying for it especially THE RICH is't really meant for them.

Scholarship as defined by the advanced learner's dictionary is:
An amount of money given by a school,college,university or other organizations to pay for the studies of a person with great ability but little money.
Going by this definition and looking at it from a humanly point of view, i dare to ask some sincere Questions:
1. What's the real motive of applying for a scholarship? Is't for the Money?, Prestige?, Experience?. E.T.C
2. If Scholarship is really meant to help poor brilliant students. Is't really getting to them.
From my own point of view, Scholarships or rather its application for it by many students In Nigeria is for the MONEY.
Then if it's for this sole reason, why don't the RICH leave this for those who really need it.
I don't see a reason why someone who can affordably pay his children's tuition plus other expenses struggle with those who can't even afford to for MTN SCHOLARSHIPS, NLNG, SHELL, GANI FAWENHIMI e.t.c without having that human piety in them.
I don't see a reason why someone who can affordably send his children to private universities struggle with someone who has to travel all the way from his/her village just to sit for a scholarship test.
This's where we find ourselves today in this country, instead of these SO CALLED RICH to sponsor the brilliant poor ones in their respective villages to get to the peak of the career, yet they struggle with them to get these scholarships for their children.
Where has human Piety gone? Why are they so mean? Do they just think that these scholarships shouldn't be given to the POOR alone since the RICH also cry?
Questions, Questions, Questions on my mind as i seek to know those whom these schorlaships are really meant for.

Over to you NAIRALANDERS.

It's a common thing to hear people say 'ANYTHING GOES IN NIGERIA'
Thus you now wonder what precisely just goes in this beloved country of ours, or Is the situation of things so BAD.
The blaming game is on the rife. The Goverment on one hand, The Citizens are not left out, infact the 'STAFF' as will be unravelled in this article are also escalating the issues.
You may be wondering which STAFF is been referred to here: Is't that of School?,Companies?,Hospitals? etc as it's commonly used in the English Language,but i must confess to you that a true 'LAGOSIAN' knows this category of 'STAFF' which's the Uniform Men.
The fact still remains that these 'STAFF' are supposed to be honourable members of the society,respected adored because of the selfless service they are supposed to render to the community, The community should always try to help them in anyway possible to make the discharge of their duties easy.
But it's so pathetic that these 'STAFF' have now turned to a subject of mockery,humiliation etc by the community due to their impunitive and extortive tendencies. They lost their respect so much that some MOTORISTS connive with them as a means of disobeying the LAW in the name of having a 'STAFF' as one of its commuters.
It's even worst that most of them have turned themselves to 'OGAS AT THE TOP' and are ready to cause chaos if not allowed into the bus as 'STAFF' which means they will not pay.
Imagine a 'STAFF' refusing to pay a dime out of a N250 fare?
Imagine a 'STAFF' threatening everyone else on the bus,that its either he doesn't pay or no one else boards the bus?
Imagine the impunity,recklessness,disorderliness displayed by these 'STAFF' to the extent of fighting with a conductor/driver?
Are these not supposed to be our law enforcers? Are they not supposed to be protecting us?
But instead of blaming these 'STAFF' let's ask ourselves some Sincere questions:
How did we get here?
Is the country really doing enough for them?
If there's actually an efficient transport system for them will it still be the same?
Was it the same way in the past?
Where Do we go from here?
It's incumbent on all Nigerians to find a lasting solution to this, we shouldn't pretend as if we're not witnessing this daily, The conductors are not smiling, The drivers are not happy, Should passengers just Practise 'SIDDON LOOK'? What about the government?
Let's endeavour to stop this new means of Extortion before it goes out of hand because as it's always said 'A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE'
