Fear people from that region, they are criminals. I remember back then in Chokoneze, abo mbaise area. There was this school I serve,a private school. The principal mandated all corpers in the school to write answers for the exam they set for students on the chalk board. School exam oo. Some of us refused because it hasn't been our doing in SW. He told us that's what they do here, that if students should fail, there parents will remove them from the school and relocate them to another private school. I was very mad at that, I ask him if he is doing the best for the students or he is destroying their lives. So, when WAEC and Neco started, he threatened corpers to write on the answers as well for the students that if they didn't, he will deal with us and even reported to the community people that we don't want there Children to pass. I still refuse, two days to the exam I vacate the community and move to meet a friend in Owerri. That is why I dot value any academic record from that side. I only respect those of them that schooled outside that there shithole and perform excellently. Not that they are not brilliant but the system of cheating and manipulation has taken the good part of them. Few of them that you see that are doing well academically either attended a Catholic school or other Religious school. But outside that, bro, run.

Just curious, Was the friend in Owerri that you ran to meet also a criminal? Did he/she attend a catholic or religious school? Did you run from that person after running to meet them in Owerri (as per your final advice)

geographically speaking, Rivers, Akwa Ibom would be more South-eastern than Anambra ..go figure

the terms,south-south, north-central e.t.c ,are just adaptations
Oron was mentioned in the video, Oron is on the same latitude and only 83 miles from Port-harcourt. If Port-Harcourt is SS, then Oron is SS.
Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Cross River are the most southern parts of Nigeria
Akwa Ibom is NOT more south eastern - goodness me, use a map!

I’ll go first ..


Karma doesn’t happen to everyone. I experienced this today. It’s crazy !

We are mistaking Karma for justice and recompense.
Karma happens to all and is continuous. Karma is not a justice system; that is why an evil person can prosper. What goes around does not come around.

The only being who has a justice and recompense system has said several times that "vengeance is His" and that He is "slow to anger". For justice many of us must wait, however we must not suffer while we wait, we can take advantage of His mercy and Blessings available.

Hello guys. Greetings to you. Please don't mind muy grammar, I'm not here for English classes lol.
My first child's almost 3years, trust me that girl can be playing and roaming about 24/7. As long as she's not asleep, her mum and I are always talking, don't do this, don't do that. Sometimes I lose my cool you know. I'm planing to enroll her into a conventional school by September because she seems really smart. My question here is, how do I handle her, she can't just stay in one place and our apartment is not really safe for her to be playing outside.
Parents and expert in the house please assist a brother with an idea of what to do.
Thank you

You are not a Christian.
1. A Christian is not given to insults very easily. Your first sentence was an insult, your last sentence was an insult. There is no way you are following Christ you might be a churchgoers.
2. A Christian studies to show himself diligent and ponders on matters before responding. That poster did not say the president would die. He said he may not be Nigeria's president by December.
When was the last time you studied the Bible alone?
Nah, you do not know Christ.

That is definitely a typo. It’s was the typewriter age, and such error could have been possible due to various reasons.

CSU wouldn’t have admitted a male student for a female student.
Beautiful. Meaning that it has been corrected. This is a school in the US and can be contacted without physically stepping in to make the required changes.
If I wanted to make a correction in my school records I would only need to send an email with supporting documents and the records would be amended
The question is: it is so easy, convenient, quick to do it. Why not do it?
I see that his handlers are quick to make changes about his profile on Wikipedia. Why cant one of them be trusted enough to send an email with supporting documents to his college and request an amendment?

I'd like you to answer a question: according to https://www.britannica.com/biography/Bola-Tinubu, transcripts show that Tinubu attended Southwest College (now Richard J. Daley College) in Chicago and then transferred to Chicago State University, where he earned a B.S. in business and administration in 1979.
The question for you, SangoOlukosoOba is this: why has he not cleared the female assignment and requested that the school remove it as it is causing a lot of controversy and tarnishing his reputation.

I cannot prove this for Chicago state university, so you are right.
Edit: Actually I retract my "you are right statement". I said that because I was not able to prove then that Southwest college was Chicago State university. In fact they are two totally different institutions.
Now I am able to prove that a female B.A.T studied at Southwest college and a male B.A.T continued the female's education and transferred her credits over to Chicago State university. (only God knows how possible it is to have switched genders so long ago)

The school has verified his attendance, what other verification do these lots need?

Accepted! The certificate is fake, but the school has verified his attendance.

So what’s the case here? That he forged the certificate that he earned?

Baseless accusations!
The Nigerian populace demand verification of attendance by a male. The school's records say female. Our president isn't female.

tinsel:

And what applies to his case if he was born in Nigeria?

In this case, if he was born in Nigeria and did not acquire citizenship until he became an adult, it means he made a declaration of allegiance which disqualifies him from being elected.
The key here is that he made a denunciation to get the US citizenship and the Nigeria constitution does not allow that denunciation and then election into political office.

182. (1) No person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if -
(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, he has made a declaration of allegiance to such other country;

Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled that citizens of the United States may not be deprived of their citizenship involuntarily.[1][2][3] The U.S. government had attempted to revoke the citizenship of Beys Afroyim, a man born in Poland, because he had cast a vote in an Israeli election after becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. The Supreme Court decided that Afroyim's right to retain his citizenship was guaranteed by the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. In so doing, the Court struck down a federal law mandating loss of U.S. citizenship for voting in a foreign election—thereby overruling one of its own precedents, Perez v. Brownell (1958), in which it had upheld loss of citizenship under similar circumstances less than a decade earlier
Thank you. This is interesting but applies to Israel vs USA.

Below is what applies to Nigeria vs Other countries
According to the Nigerian constitution: http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm
182. (1) No person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if -
(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, he has made a declaration of allegiance to such other country; or
As earlier indicated, section 28 states clearly that dual citizenship is allowable where one qualifies as a Nigerian by Birth as contained (above) in section 25 (1) (a-c). The only instance in which forfeiture of citizenship is allowed under the CFRN 1999 is by holders of: i) citizenship by registration under section 26; and ii) citizenship by naturalization, under section 27.

The question then is
1. Is the deputy governor a citizen of the US by birth? No
2.Did he have to naturalize? Yes
3. Did he denounce his country and pledge allegiance to the US during oath taking? Yes
He is not qualified for election to that office

I am one. I have both a USA passport and Nigeria passport. And we move freely through both countries immigration with both of the passport. Any other proof you need? And I got mine through naturalization.
It happens. Any black- looking person can get a Nigerian passport.
I need proof that it is lawful.
I need proof that renouncing allegiance to a country and going back to take a political position in that same country is lawful.

Yes, the United States allows dual citizenship. If you are a naturalized citizen, you don’t have to give up citizenship from your country of origin. U.S. immigration law does not prohibit dual nationality. The U.S. Supreme Court also ruled that people can “have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries.”
I googled this on uscis.gov/citizenship. It is clearly written on that US government website that the Naturalization Oath requires you to RENOUNCE and ABJURE ALL allegiance to your former country.
The proof you should be providing is a link, article that shoes that people who naturalized and swore this Oath (not those who had dual citizenship at birth and never needed to take the oath) can exercise rights of nationality in two countries.
Please note that acquisition of citizenship does not require taking an Oath of Allegiance.
Naturalization requires taking an Oath.
I'd like to see your links if any. I do not have monopoly of knowledge.
