CrimeRe: EFCC Arraigns 11 OAU Students Over Alleged Internet Fraud by Shikena(m): 2:42pm On Nov 08, 2023
If found guilty, how exactly is this about OAU? Were they representing OAU in whatever they indulged in as adults above the age of reason baseline? Let's stop adding unnecessary sentiments to issues like this. What is important is to ensure the innocent don't get punished. That is the most important thing in law.

OAU IS FAST LOSING HER HONOUR IN RECENT YEARS.

grin grin Sometimes it's either we don't pay close enough attention or we are simply not being honest with ourselves. What we create, or got created, in our minds can never replace facts. That's why it sounds funny & naïve to those who have first hand factual knowledge that clearly punctured our dogmatic belief.

On this isolated matter, I pray justice prevails. The defendants represent themselves and not a university or the alumni and they should face their legal defense as individuals.

datola:
Very strange any OAU student will have time and guts to engage in illegality like this.

OAU's very rigorous academic system is only for serious minded and brilliant students who can easily make it in life without any disgraceful Yahoo! Yahoo!

May be they are all these pre degree or diploma students.

Do you even know what it means to build people? If you don't know ask


Less than 3 million Nigerians have gone for NYSC

PoliticsRe: Railways Along The Belt And Road: Megaprojects Transforming Nigeria by Shikena(m): 1:43pm On Nov 07, 2023
Speak for yourself sir. The train works very well for me and thousands of people. The question is if you have personally ever boarded any of the trains? Are your comments factual or just stuff you manufactured in your head for argument sake? How can you say the train is used by those who normally fly? Really?? Regular people are using the trains because of other factors that also affect their pocket. The roads are unpredictable for several reasons including erratic drivers and other road users and you may end up spending more money!

I have used Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan train several times. It makes perfect sense to me. I know exactly when my train takes off and I know when it arrives at the destination so I make my business plans around that. Also, they are not limited to the current time schedule as they will increase these in due course. What is important is that they have started this important service and they are doing very well.

mrvitalis:
The passenger transport is limited because it makes no economic sense

You are time limited compared to bus
More expensive compared to bus

Only people who normally fly would find it attractive... And those are the numbers you need to improve first

Those who studied medicine by paying less than $100 a year for medical education in Nigeria and now earning over $250,000 a year in the western world were NEVER built by Nigeria?
Those who studied engineering and other courses paying the same amount and are all over the world contributing meaningfully were never built by Nigeria?
Those who were eating full chicken for lunch as students at UNILAG, UI, Ife, Nsukka & Zaria in their days while paying practically nothing were built by which country?

We dropped the ball big time. No excuse. We let selfishness rule and we gradually allowed our space to be dominated by people of weak value system but to say Nigeria has never built its people is not true.

PoliticsRe: Railways Along The Belt And Road: Megaprojects Transforming Nigeria by Shikena(m):
We already had 55 years of independence before APC with all sorts of academic theories. We have been building people and we have always had trains, roads, water plants, fire setvices etc even before independence. What exactly was built that was not needed?

mrvitalis:
APC is actually doing development upside down really there problem is fundamental

You build the people then infrastructure follows not build infrastructure first

If you build infrastructure first what would happen is the people would be too poor to patronize those infrastructure which would make them to be subsidized and would make maintenance difficult causing the infrastructure to fail.... Sounds familiar?

Step one raise revenue ( natural resources, borrow, tax anyhow)

Step two invest in your people ( education, soft credit, access to machinery, access to advanced tools , improved seedlings, simplified and low interest loans easily accessible etc)

Step three, your people grow rich start demanding infrastructure they know they can afford... Then you tax the and build infrastructure


This is how development works.. You don't build what is not needed

Should be noted that it was not a busy embassy at all (not sure of today) but that's not the issue being discussed.

Unless it changed, that was never the case at this particular embassy being discussed here. It was the same standard fee, not a Brazilian centavo more not a Brazilian centavo less.

Also, for long and healthy life with good financial stability, men should avoid marrying women with no legit meaningful source of income unless she comes from a financially solid background.

Enough of Nigerian men developing hypertension at age 40 because of someone whose family cannot afford basic things of life.

PoliticsRe: FG To Review Migration, Visa Policies – Tunji-Ojo by Shikena(m): 2:59pm On Nov 03, 2023
Very laudable. Like it or not, this administration is engaging with the people and we can only hope for the best. Let them fail first before we label them failures.

Diaspora affairs have been neglected for too long. No clear strategy for an area that greatly support a chunk of our economy in the informal sector. We must support the diaspora and not make them easy targets for the bad ones among us. They should have corridors across the nation where they can setup investments and private properties creating employment for our people.

Tourism is also there in this aspect. It's sad that our diaspora are now largely switching their travel plans, weddings, etc to the Caribbean corridor. Nigeria is a wonderful destination in locations where we have good security. We must tap into this economy and maximize it for the benefit of our nation.

Most of these people are largely discouraged by many things Nigeria starting from our visa process in our embassies abroad, passport renewals where many have to travel long distance only to face insults and insensitive attitude by our embassy staff, even after paying so much money. Why should someone in Texas or Oklahoma be flying to Atlanta, Georgia or Washington, DC for basic consular issues? That's like flying from Nigeria to Senegal. Then they arrive in Nigeria after long flights to more insensitivity starting with poorly trained officials of a plethora of government agencies. We need to address all these.

We can go on and on and on.

Nothing to hate in unilag,absolutely nothing. The sermon you wrote does not drive home any point and the is why unilag is a watered down college. You guys lack critical thinking.
The only thing that makes you gloss over unilag is fact that the school is in the centre of Lagos and the students enjoy the diverse social Lagos life. Aside that unilag is a mere shithole. If you doubt let government relocate unilag to badagry or interior of ikorodu and see what will happen. Lasu is a good case study....unilag students are just party people absolute nothing to hate.

If you like go knock your hungry head on the nearest roadside pavement, UNILAG has always been special and will always be great and even greater as Nigeria develops.
Feel free to brag about your own school but attempting to run UNILAG down out of envy just to feel good about yourself is an exercise in futility. You can try but you can't hide the glory of the sun. The pride of the nation!
