freshmoney: When REVOLUTION is instigated, I would be proud to be one of those conscientious Nigerians that assiduously strive towards the country's rejuvenation.
Keep being a villain. You personify an abysmal naivety! One of those pessimistic Nigerians!

freshmoney: You have no iota of precocity. So a patriotic Nigerian is now nick-named a hater? Who feels any aversion towards you other than your looting president? Keep leaving everything to God, you naive people!

if u have the power of ur own, y nt go 2 Asorock and kill him over nyt or even bring him down? U jst complain n watch, na wa u o0

Demdem: For making our leaders accountable, we are labelled haters as usual. Abegii shut up if u have nothing to say

Oboy u rnt in2 politics niether is any1 u knw xo u dnt undastand it. U only base on wat u'v heard 4rm news. Nw let me leak this to u, afta kano's blast of january, it was said that 189 were dead ryt? Nw knw this, over a 1000 died on that day due to d bomb.
Reason- the whole four morgues in kano was filled to the brim and corpses were laid on the floor(note- each morgue in ktown has a maximum carrying capacity of 250 corpse). I knw dis bc i went to the morgue d day afta wit ma dad to put a frnd wo died overnyt.

There is 1 thing u igbo haterz or so dnt undastand. If biafra wants to opt out of nigeria today, they will. The entire igbo nation arund d world is larger than the yoruba and hausas combined so stp tinking lyk a fool. D igbos only dnt want to n even d war in 67 wasnt to divide nigeria bt 2 map awt a region of biafra nt until gowon and co. went against it motive. Imagine nigeria, the great britian, the u.s, the russians and the entire arab nation to join forces to fight a little biafra 4 a whole 3 yrz, smh. Wat a shame. Imagine wat wud apen if it was 2 begin again. Do u tink nigeria wit her allies wud win Ah dnt tink xo. Biafra wud wipe awt d entire yoruba n hausa race within a year n bliv me, jst few wud b alive to testify. Dnt bring bk 67 to repeat itself or else d 3million souls dat died in d course of justice in 67 wud increase by 20tyms in d reverse part. U neva knew wah was behind 67 dats y u all r hear making silly noises.

[b]becomes Nigeria’s oldest to do so
Learning is a life-long process and there’s no age limit to learning.” “It’s better late than never,” they said; when a 74-year-old retired military officer, Colonel Layiwola Adegunju, was earlier this year admitted to study Law at the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, encomiums poured in from various quarters. Today, another record breaker has emerged at the Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo.

It is the story of 80-year-old retired civil servant, Pa Alimi Olarenwaju Amodu, who is amongst the over 27,087 students presented by the university for its 17th convocation, holding today.

Pa Amodu is undoubtedly Nigeria’s oldest university student, graduating with a Second Class Honours in Sociology. He is a father of seven and hails from Oniyangi in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State. In spite of his age, he is courageous and determined to search for knowledge.

He revealed to Quadlife that he sets his eyes on becoming a Ph.D holder before he returns to the Creator, even as he had currently sat for and passed a Master’s degree examination to study Industrial Relations in LASU. After his Ph.D, he plans to give back to the society by establishing a primary school in his home town, Oniyangi.

Pa Alimi Amodu

His zeal and love for education spurred the Rotary Club of Lagos to encourage him with an award for his steadfastness in 2010. He also won the “Man of Repute” Grand Award of the Department of Sociology, LASU, in 2004, being his first year in the university.

During his undergraduate days, the octogenarian was popularly known and called the “Youngest Student” and “Baba Bookwarm.” Like a resilient fighter, “Baba Bookwarm” didn’t fail any course during his undergraduate days.

Asked the secret, he said: “It was by God’s grace that I graduated from LASU without having to re-sit for any carry-over course. Although during my undergraduate days, I faced a lot of challenging moments like having to wake up very early to catch a bus to school. What really helped me to succeed throughout was that I had from the foundation learned from my mother to wake up as early as 3.00 a.m. I usually read from 3.00 a.m. to 6.00 a.m to constantly update my scope of knowledge, and I thank God who saw me through to this point.”

During his undergraduate days, the likes of Dr. Wahab Elias, Head, Department of Sociology and Prof. Atere Adewole were his favourite lecturers. While he best enjoyed the former’s course on Sociology of the Third World, the latter’s was Criminology. It was Dr. Elias that Pa Amodu first approached when he came to LASU in 2003. The don advised him to apply as a full-time student, instead of the part-time he had in mind. He was also his project supervisor in his final year.

On how he felt sitting together to receive lectures with students who are young enough to be his grand children, he said: “That’s very good. It was a stiff competition between me and them. When you are competing with young students, there’s no age consideration. I have to always struggle to sit at the front in class. Another point is that the lecturers address everyone as equal in the university.”

Sharing his most memorable moment on campus, he recalled the incident that occurred in class sometime ago, when he dozed off during a lecture. “That day, my lecturer caught me dozing in class. He said to me: ‘Baba you are sleeping’ and I said, ‘No sir, I wasn’t sleeping’.

So he said: ‘If you weren’t sleeping, what did I say last?” I couldn’t answer. He asked me what I ate before coming to school, and I told him I ate rice. Then he advised me not to take heavy meals before coming to school , but just a cup of tea and some slices of bread. The funniest thing is that I was disciplined by standing up till the end of the lecture.”

Pa Amodu, however, disclosed that he had been offered admission by several universities in the past, but the ultimate sacrifice of giving the best education to his children, did not allow him to go. He said: “You see, the ultimate sacrifice you can pay as a parent is to give the best of education to your children.

Having done my research for a while, i discovered something: that the largest tribe isnt the hausa's, what the hausas do is to count their goats and cow during census and proclaim themselves the largest in order to get more allocation from the federal govt. The yorubas and the igbos are by far larger than the hausas. Including those at diaspora. Then again i thought the yorubas are more in population but i did more research and found out that the igbos seems more.
REASON- According to wikipedia, igbos are of different kinds which of the majority are the Igbo Nigerians, others include the Igbo Americans that are majorly found at virginia, new york, boston e.t.c, Igbo britons, Igbo jamaicans, Igbo chinese e.t.c. and they are 45-49million. Just search "IGBOS" on wikipedia and go through it. Not that the yorubas dont have many at diaspora such as there are yorubas at BENIN, TOGO and GHANA(pure citizens) and are over 30million in population but cant be upto that of the igbos. The hausas are 30-35 million. Again, the igbos are known to travel wide than any other tribe and are mostly sold during slave trading. So i would give mine to the igbos. What do you think and which should be given?
please this thread is meant to be peaceful. Any tribalistic sympathizer should not comment as it shouldnt raise tribal war. Just state yours, thanks.

Smh. Na wa 4 some mothers o0

Good 4 dem, lets watch and knw wen buhari wil decide to kill d acn member wo wud b his vice afta the election and replace him wit Elrufai, #GODISWATCHINGBUHARIIN3D#

Kobojunkie: While I don't understand how he came to blame Boeing for the accident, I can see how a person(possibly in mourning) would think to find someone to blame for his loss.

That was quick too. It has been less than a week and already a lawsuit!

And why wont he? Didnt u read what was up there? The plane engines can just fail dramatically except something in the plane was removed before the flight without the knowledge of the pilot. The Mr. Allison has thought as much and has to sue the manufacturers and engineers, Simple.

Yeah, its obvious they are leaving soon. SMH, D dead R.I.P

We all knw we r d problem nd then we added the govt to join us. Xo we al r involved. Our major problem should b traced to 1900's

philip0906: The truth remains that we have had more evil than good in an unprecedented manner in his regime.wether he is 2 be blamed or not is not d issue but d bloodshed under his regime(with 3yrs 2 go) is terrifying. . .He has spent a large chunk of his ill-fated tenure mourning and sending condolences with little action or no action in providing d basics(fight corruption,provide electricity,build roads e.t.c) 4 d masses so dat @ least it would sooth their fraying nerves.

you begin the action na, dnt u knw hw 2 protest? Abi na til gej talk b4 u act? Its democracy xo he has to listen to the pple. Jst start the action, u wud gt bk ups.

It would not and would never be, am nt being offensive bt i av 2 let u knw, weda olda or younger than me, if u tink its worst, then u r a BIG UNEDUCATED FOOL, is Gej the pilot that drove d plane? Is he the Dana mgt? Is he sheik ibrahim of bk.h? Gej haters. The problem wit us is that we dont knw our problem, simple. Al we do is complain n sit back witout doin nothing, absolute rubbish, we are all fools including me n our govt. Gej is inclusive.

R.I.P to ur sis, my dad lost a childhood friend 4rm '76, MUOEJEKU ADAOBI,
R.I.P to the dead.

Build-up to finalcrash of Dana aircraft MD-83 in Lagos
A Dana Air McDonnellDouglas MD-83 with registration number 5N- RAM that finally crashed, yesterday,killing about 153 passengers on board, was a disaster waiting to happen.
On May 3, an unnamed Lagos station manager of the airline was reported to have drawn the attention of management of the airlines that the aircraft in question needed to be grounded for general check-up but that alarm was ignored.
So on May 11, 2012,the same aircraft that was billed for Lagos/Abuja with more than half capacity passengers and an air return and had emergency landing at the Murtala Muhammed airport. Reports said passengers on board had to hurriedly disembarkand sought alternative means of travelling. No casualty.
On May 25, 2012, the same plane that was to do Lagos/Calabar flightalso made another air return to Lagos after the crew reported engine fault. There was also no casualty.
Then came the final straw. On June 3, 2012, the same MD-83 with registration number 5N-RAM was performing a flight 9J-1993 from Lagosto Abuja with 153 passengers on board when the crew also discovered that the engine had developed fault. The pilot made a quick air return to Lagos.
But while on a final appraisal to the runway 16L, the aircraft rammed intoa power line, crashed into a build-up area about5-6nm from touch down and burst intoflames, killing all passengers on board.
