ivolt: This is a fantasy. Not even Asian "miracle" economies were able to achieve such dramatic feat within a short period. I suppose NBS just changed their definition of unemployment to push out this bogus figure. That is based on ILO standards. The truth is that what we suffer from is underemployment not unemployment. It is extremely rare to find a Nigerian who does not do something or the other to earn a living. |

NAF has a target innovation of zero accidents, but the truth is that as long as we keep operating, there will be incidents because it is human beings that operate the aircraft. This man needs more leadership training. Yes we know that there is space for human error but you cannot be driving a zero-accident target and at the same time making utterances that show your men that there is still room for errors. The official position should be zero means zero and every possible safeguard should be put in place to check human errors. |

SmartPolician: Oga, increase police salary across the country.
You cannot be paying these people peanuts and expect the best from them.
At this point, every institution in Nigeria should be enterprising and looking for legit avenues to generate money. We all cannot depend on oil and gas and government taxes to survive.
Nigerian police should have functional nursery, primary, secondary and tertiary schools as a way of generating funds for the force.
We just have people who cannot think in sensitive positions in this country. Does the IGP have the unilateral power to increase police salaries? From which budget? |

I shouldn't engage you any further, you know nothing. Who said stable electricity means one will be successful?

Stopping common men from hawking (their only means of survival) when you haven't given them a better alternative is wickedness.
You don't think at all. There'll be no point engaging you if you can synthesize the facts that the FCT minister does not have a major economic portfolio, and that simultaneously electricity is the bedrock of modern economies. Electricity has no impact on the common man says someone in 2023. So we should not have electricity and sanitation because we are poor? Are you normal at all?  smh. |

You know nothing, most of these people are petty traders and if we had companies that can employ them in Nigeria, they won't hesitate in leaving those businesses.
Don't be Myopic, these are not ways to make a country great, they are misplaced priorities. Talking in the nonsense. The FCT minister is charged with one small area of responsibility. That is, to ensure orderliness in the FCT. That is the small contribution he makes to National greatness. In that context, these measures are all progress but of course you would find something negative to say. That is because you have a vested interest in seeing chaos so that you can have something to complain about. You saw three measures listed which included provision of light and sanitation but you fixated on one out of three measures to cast a dark cloud on all. And you don't know you are wallowing in severe myopia yourself? Just continue. |

Abuja Masterplan, Abuja Masterplan.. Government should publish these Masterplans so that everyone can know it or even have a copy of it, in order to avoid violating it.. Not for any government in power to hide behind a shady and indeterminate "masterplan" to carry out vendetta and take over legitimate properties 
This government will issue an approval for a building in line with the "masterplan".. The next government will come in and demolish the same building for not being in line with the "masterplan".. Playing politics with people's investments.  Which case do you know off where approval to huold was granted officially and not through wuru wuru and then revoked for violating the masterplan? Abuja is one of the few good things we have in Nigeria. Instead of finding ways to preserve it, you want us to he unruly. |

dboY1123: My previous post about a big school that called me for an Interview, Well I actually went there, did my test and when I was asked to come in for Micro Teaching where I was faced with Staff of the school and maybe the principal, I flopped and panicked heavily. The fear was well written all over my face and I was just saying rubbish despite choosing to teach "Matter" as my topic. Immediately I came in and they asked for my name and few other questions before the micro teaching, my voice was already shaking as if I have never taught before in my life(they noticed and told me to calm down).
Although I am an introvert, I hardly face audience talk more of strangers and the quest to ensure that I performed, those things enveloped/swallowed me completely. I have never taught in such a big school before, I think my qualification was what made them approach me in the first place. One of the staff kept throwing questions at me, I mean confusing questions just to know my depth of knowledge in the particular topic, and guess what? I flopped totally and became disorganized. But luckily, there was a man among the panel who gave me the option of coming back and prove myself that I am a qualified teacher as stated in my CV or I should take another topic I'm more comfortable with. So, I opted to leave and come back so I can regain my confidence.
Now, I have been given enough time to go and make research and convince them on Monday. How do I conquer that fear and what are the things they look so I can prepare hard. Thank you. Practice. Plan your presentation...face the mirror and deliver. Then gather your friends and practice in front of them. |

Buhari knew that the judiciary was compromised that's why he used the DSS to treat their fvckup.
You see, when the people revolt against them, it will be worse than those in government fighting them because they may not live to tell the story.

And Niger have airports where you can see regularly Russian cargo planes landing. Read my statement comprehensively. A poor nation being forced to use much more distant ports or to rely on air freight would imply much higher retail prices for everything particulalry consumer commodities. What does that imply for its economy? Total wreckage right? |

MEGA4BILLION: It is only those that doesn't understand the meaning of sovereignty of nation that scream for war and inversion of Niger. Problem of Niger is an internal crisis in which other nations can only get involve by negotiation not stamping on their sovereign right.
If you clap and celebrate that Niger should be invaded then you should also call for a party when another nation invade your own country There is nothing like sovreignty in the real sense. All nations are interconnected and have to cede some idea of autonomy to the global community. The exceptios are those coubtries who are so powerful that they are essentially uncompellable. Secondly, you are talking about Niger, a country that is totally dependent on the outside world for its survival. Nigeria alone can completley cripple that country economically because not only are they the poorest nation in the world, they are also landlocked. |
