Education › Re: Dangote Donates ₦550 Million To FUTO by SmartyPants(m): 8:37am On Apr 28
Haydens:
Ask yourself if the hostel will be built, even if built, to which standard ?

Will the students live there for free, even if not for free, will the hostel feee be affordable that even the poor students can afford it ?
The other places Dangote has donated to, were the structures not built? If you were a billionaire donor would you give away that much money without safeguards?

Won't you ask for proof of work? Won't you stipulate the contractors you want to handle the project? Won't you release the funds in phases following agreed timelines and milestones?


Or you believe the money will be dumped in the VC's account and that's the end of the story?

Lol.

550 million dollars is nothing to him. Check out his net worth.
This is Africa's richest man we are talking about here.
Una dey mention ordinary 550million naira... Kai
Do you even know what you are saying? Do you know what it would mean to give away 2% of your net worth to a single institution in a single day?

Money wey go enter them ogas bank akant like this.

Kpatakpata dem go erect half baked buildings then the other money to go woom to their pockets.

Fattening the pockets of already doning well people while the poor masses are languishing in hunger......

Why can't he use the money and pay for some brilliant students ? At least in each level their must be top 10 most performing students that need the money seriously...
Someone is talking about building hostels that will serve tens of thousands over several generations, this one is talking about spending it all on fees for ten students per department. This is the kind of thinking that ruins African nations.
Politics › Re: Natasha Akpoti Reacts To ₦1bn Defamation damages awarded to Yahaya Bello by SmartyPants(m): 9:07am On Apr 26
dalongjnr:
I understand the substances in bello's case against Natasha.
I'm waiting for the CTC of the judgement to respond to you appropriately.
I can assure you that based on what I know, his case can't stand a chance in the high court of justice.
You are just mixing terms trying to prove something here. High Court of Justice refers to the state high court, which is where this judgement emanates from so what do you mean his case can't stand a chance in the high court of justice? Do you mean the court of appeal?

And if you are referring to Bello's corruption trial, that one is before the federal high court so again, what could you possibly be referring to??
Politics › Re: Natasha Akpoti Reacts To ₦1bn Defamation damages awarded to Yahaya Bello by SmartyPants(m): 6:46am On Apr 26
dalongjnr:
She stated the obvious facts.
A criminal of bello's caliper should not be given much of leverage to continue to use courts to settle political scores. This is someone that's supposed to be in prison now shopping for free courts judgement.
This doesn't speaks well of the judiciary.
What kind of talk is this... The court is a court of law not your neighborhood beer parkour where you cast judgment flippantly.

It deals with legal issues not random issues that have no bearing on the case before it.

Can you imagine that you are suggesting that a court should not attend to a case properly because one of the parties has another case which has not even been fully heard?

What kind of reasoning is that?

kernniejay:
Yahaya Bello that is still answering a corruption case in court is awarded N1billion damages. APC has really messed up the judicial system of the country.
There's no relationship between his corruption case and this defamation case. You don't need to be a lawyer to have enough common sense to see this.
Politics › Re: Opposition Parties In Nigeria Have Agreed To Field One Presidential Candidate by SmartyPants(m): 5:23pm On Apr 25
SadiqBabaSani:
And that candidate can't be Obi, it is not possible, because all them politicians are the same.

Obi is a bit different and might likely not concede to many of the compromises that they Hyenas would demand.

It can't be Atiku' cos the unwritten political rule of Presidential power demands 4 more years of southern rule
Naive. If there is a consensus candidate it is 100% likely to be Atiku or Obi.

Eriokanmi:
Go and ask dangote who knows better than you do in a business world. Keep living in denial. The moment dangote burst his bubbles, he let him alone
Dangote said directors in NNPC have a refinery in Malta. You are the one inserting Tinubu into it.

In any case, Dangote, who I respect so much, has not been able to tell us either the name of the director or the name of the refinery.

This is not how to reason.

Eriokanmi:
Tinubu bawoo, someone who almost ended the man's O&G career so that his refining facility in Malta could keep thriving ? Thanks to dangote's resilience. Petrol would have hit 2k by now. We know who the true enemies of the masses are. Sadly, his supporters are the hardest hit
It is well established by now that there was never any such facility. Argue with sense and reason so that we can make headway.

Even if Kenya wanted, they cannot finance such magnitude of project.
The proposal is for a multi-laterally backed refinery.

Celebrities › Re: Being Arrogant Is Good – Burna Boy’s Mom Defends Son Amid Backlash by SmartyPants(m): 12:30pm On Apr 25
RightToReject:
She implicitly said that Burna Boy has self-confidence; she's in total support of that, but if you mistake his self-confidence for arrogance, she's okay with it. It seems most of you lack comprehension skills.
You may have ordinary reading comprehension, but what you lack is the more critical ability to read between the lines. What she really said was she doesn't care what label the world gives him, which is another way of saying there's no accountability at home.
Business › Re: The Difference Between A Domiciliary Account And A Dollar Account by SmartyPants(m):
TheJayJay:
Many people confuse domiciliary accounts and dollar accounts, but they serve different purposes in Nigeria. A dollar account is essentially a foreign currency account—specifically in US dollars. These accounts gained traction after the CBN limited forex transactions. They’re usually tied to fintech platforms like Flutterwave, Grey, Geekpay, and Clever, and often come with a US-based debit card containing a US address, making them ideal for digital, flexible, and virtual transactions.
On the other hand, domiciliary accounts are more traditional. They allow you to save and withdraw in foreign currency, but typically require more paperwork and documentation. They’re usually tied to physical banks—like my bank, UBA, and others—giving you a traditional, in-person option for international trade or cash withdrawals. So, if you’ve been hearing both terms, now you see the key differences!
Please there is no such distinction. A domiciliary account denominated in dollars is a dollar account. However, there may be other types of dollar accounts which are not domiciliary. What separates these from the former is the nature of the underlying banking relationship. For example, your virtual dollar account issued by a fintech is not a domiciliary account because you as the "account owner" don't actually have a deposit relationship with the underlying bank partner (which may be a foreign bank not subject to the CBN) that holds the dollar deposits. There are other practical distinctions, but one primary example of the distinction, in practice, is that you should be able to deposit and withdraw physical dollars with a domiciliary account which you can't do with your virtual dollar account.

Watch the video. When it starts, he was talking about Labour.

How do you know he's referring to Obi and not Atiku, El-rufai, Kwankwaso or even Tinubu
Was he not talking about the Labour party at that moment? Why would you then imagine he was talking about anyone else but the most famous party jumper who recently left Labour?

Generally I would say from experience, whether they are into yahoo or not, living in proximity to people below the age of 25 is not advisable. They don't have any sense of how to respect other people's needs.

I thought they said Yorubas are the most educated?

The kind of propaganda we were fed by those traditional media in this country can only be judged in Heaven. They said Igbos are only selling spare parts at Ladipo.

They said Ekiti state has the highest number of Professors in Nigeria yet the record shows it is Imo state.
Oga there's no such record. There was a misinterpreted claim that came out some years back that was proven to be nonsense.

Talking in the nonsense...the article clearly explains that the missiles have been expendes across three distinct theatres:

1. Supply to Ukraine (so indeed, against Russia)
2. Domestic defense of Israel
3. War in Iran

Iran is just staying true to the 2 weeks ceasefire that Trump want to use to get reprieve from the defeat staring him in the face.
But how cheesy They neither damaged the ship nor harmed the crew, and on the whole, both vessels belong to their friend, India, who have now summoned the Iranian ambassador to Delhi. So what manner of confusion is this?
