Useless twàt. Most people don't even know why they have a certificate.

A certificate is not a passport to life in eldorado.

A certificate is simply a proof that you have attained a certain height. If the so-called ”height” is useless, then your knowledge is practically useless.

I mean, how can a human being living in Nigeria go to a university in NIGERIA to study political science? Political science in Nigeria of all places.

What exactly do you want to achieve with such useless and substandard knowledge?

I think we need to be imaginative. Nigeria is a highly political country - a graduate of political science can go into consultancy and with time grow into a stable career. The way to fail is to refuse to be creative and courageous.

Having said that, I have long held the view that going to school should not be seen as the be all and end all.

chatinent:
What is the use of the ranking when you'll still graduate from those Universities without a job at last?

What's the correlation between the University's ranking and the availability of jobs in the country?

I do agree that the columnist used words that are damaging including calling FFK a "windbag and wankėr", and writing thus: "...his bohemian lifestyle while in the United Kingdom included an addiction to drugs for which he had to seek spiritual and physical rehabilitation in Ghana".

This is a slap on journalistic ethos by the writer and shouldn't have been passed by the Editor.

FFK, on the other hand, instigated this when he upbraided that poor journalist. As Chinue Achebe said I Arrows of God: "he who brings home ant-infested firewood should not be surprised when he is visited by lizards". FFK needs to go into sombre reflection and carefully re-examine how he treats people. He might win this case because the writer has no proof of FFK's drug addiction story, but he doesn't have to win it; he has to change for the good of all.

How do you know the writer has no proof sir?

And in any case, even if he should win the substantive argument, he wont win a single penny because there are no damages.

TheEnlightenedO:
You tell me, I bet he gets misunderstood and arrested, put your money where ur mouth is, no fake bets, I’m game

lol i meant that figuratively, a bet would be unworkable since both outcomes are possible and the time frame would be not be possible to determine. He could get arrested today and get the job three months later.

Angelfrost:
This is quite insightful... I am grateful!!!

Quite a pleasure.

TRUTHaDDICTED:
Why are Nigeria media so evil, a sitting Governor's convoy were attacked and you tagged it a rubbery attack? What a zoo.

It was the governor's aide who described it so.

Angelfrost:
Well, if that's the case, then we live in a very very Criminal Society and Universe!!!

I still have my doubts tho... What Nigerian or universal law is that??!

https://www.bridewellconsulting.com/when-is-hacking-illegal-and-legal

I don't know of the exact law in Nigeria to be specific, but I know that there are quite comprehensive cyber security and intellectual property laws.

On a general criminal law basis, he can be arrested and charged with attempted fraud and the burden of proof will shift to him since he has already been shown to have taken substantial steps towards the act. The only way to defend that charge would be to show that he immediately submitted a security report to access bank.

But since he has confessed to having obtained customer's account details, he is now in a world of potential trouble. Unless the bank and the authorities decide to convert him to their use.

Angelfrost:
I am yet to see the crime committed here... Maybe you can point it out! People gain access to private information of other people and organizations almost daily across the globe! This is not new or even strange!!!

I believe it becomes a crime when you use such accessed and private information to the detriment of the owner. Typified as follows:

1. Leaking sensitive information like nudes to the public.
2. Stealing valuables like savings belonging to such people, which he could have done above but didn't (Case in point, Hushpuppies and Woodberries of this continent).

We don't have to major on minor things... Access bank should thank and reward him, and take needed lessons on Cyber security! Sacking their inept staff, and employing him won't be out of place too.

Any Access bank staff reading this should take note and do the needful.

Merely accessing those files is a crime on its own. Nevertheless, I can see him getting recruited into a security agency.

azmanaty02:
See as village people called this one and he answered with all his heart

How much are you willing to bet that the next move for this guy will be a recruitment into a great position?

Esseite:
Please the people above.... stop using your poverty to confuse others, not everyone is in your circle.. pray for grace..

My dia this is not.about poverty. Its simple logic. Why would you pay 1 million dollars in taxes to sell spare parts in the market? How many sisters parts for you want to sell in a country of about 20 million inhabitants?

Abdul4trust1:
Opkela and okpekpe are among the strongholds of APC in Edo North.

Interestingly that area is majority Muslim. Will they vote for a pastor?

Officialgarri:
This regime started by merging various ministries that littered the government and eating up the budget.

Now, I can't fathom why a new body should be created when they could just make it an arm of the NIA or NPF.

The centre will be domiciled under the office of the NSA and efforts are on to give it a legal backing, Mr Monguno told State House reporters Thursday.

How can you fathom before assimilating?

SouthNigerian:
I was promoted to a very top post in my former Organisation less than a year of gaining employment.

I was so overwhelmed with joy that I purchased a jumbo bottle of Brandy and drank it all by myself. I then told my colleagues that the external walls of our 4 storey building office was too dirty, I jogged across the street bought a bag of detergent & started washing the outside building.

Dint know I acted that weird until my colleagues narrated my ordeals.

I hope you cleaned very well?

Christistruth00:
It violates ECOWAS agreement on free trade. That is what Ghana is retaliating to

What are you talking about? The issues with Ghana and Nigerian traders have been ongoing for at least three years and have no nexus with Nigeria closing her border.

Rossinky:
Excellent response by the FG. I suggest Nigeria temporarily withdraws from ECOWAS, just to get the rest of West Africa to sit straight.

Nigeria contributes nearly 80% of all ECOWAS funds and those funds help with so many things, from regional security to emergency food and health supplies.

The Nigerian GDP is 75% of West Africa's GDP. West Africa has 14 nations that basically depend on Nigeria for their survival.

Nigeria should LEAVE ECOWAS for them, and ask Nigerian businesses in Ghana to return home.

Also, 70,000 Nigerian students are in Ghanaian universities, and they are made to pay in dollars there. This brings in billions of dollars to Ghanaian coffers each year. Nigeria should declare that it will not recognise degrees from Ghanaian universities henceforth, and end that phenomenon.

Let us see how long before Ghana gets their head straight after these measures.

If they continue their madness, the FG should consider sponsoring rebel movements in northern Ghana and neighbouring Burkina Faso to infiltrate and destabilize that country. Their military is ranked 28th in Africa, while Nigeria is 3rd or 4th. Even Burkina Faso is ranked above them militarily.

Ghana have become too proud and arrogant at the peace and relative prosperity they have garnered using the regional security that Nigeria has provided the region over the last 20 years. They must be taught a lesson they will never forget.

The bolded may be strokes of genius, after all I have no idea what Nigeria gains from ECOWAS.

But talk of sponsoring terror is wrong.

Rugaria:
Nigerias inability to be ruthless and effective in dealing with these irritating cluster of villages that riddle West Africa is one reason they taunt this country.. Nigerias foreign policy thrust needs to be quickly reorganized. This idea of making Africa the center piece is tooooo old school. Nigeria should focus on Nigeria and use her size/diplomatic weight and reach to force the hands of some of these countries.. Look at Cameroon for instance; they brought the French to our borders and many Nigerians were killled and exiled because of bakassi. Today that area is witnessing a self inflicted insurgency. Instead of steadying a colonel at Calabar to supply the insurgents regularly so as to initiate choas and get favourable hands in charge of bakassi as a result, Nigeria is busy arresting the insurgents! Chaotic foreign policy thrust. If it was the isrealis or Iranians, Paul Biya is toast.

Don't analyse policy in isolation, there is a bigger picture.

How do you expect Nigeria to encourage a secession movement in Cameroon knowing that it is trying to crush a cessation movement in the east? Cameroon could reciprocate and Biafra would then take a giant step towards reality.

omenka:
The story is about Ortom and Benue, not Buhari, and I'm speaking from the perspective of one who KNOWS what's happening in my state, not some useless political nutjobs who think everything has to be about support for political party figures, even when they know not a squat about what's going on in the place under discussion.

Even when Ortom was in APC, I strongly condemned his actions. From the very time he took office and set out to buy extremely expensive cars for his commissioners when the country was under recession, I knew he could be a gargantuan failure and I wasn't wrong. You pdp supporters attacked him then when he was in APC, but he became an unblemished performer when he decamped to pdp, a performer beyond reproach.

I dont play that sort of foolish politics.

I have criticized Buhari several times, especially with respect to corruption and security, notwithstanding the fact I support APC. You pdp supporters should learn to do the same, no one would kill you.

Okay, that is great. The matter arising as of now is security. Why are you bringing up issues of roads?

kenzysmith:
to me enyimba and pillars is like barca and madrid they should be bitter rival even ghanian league kotoko n hearts don't trade players we still ve long way to go

Sir there is a very long list of top players who have moved between Barça and Real. Did you just start watching football only recently?

Figo
Ronaldo
Saviola
Eto

All made that move.

dermmy:
America and China should tread carefully. America should also stop its provocative actions in the South China sea. China is a country that wants to control its own destiny and won't be moved around by a bully.

Ironically India, Brunei and other South East nations may say the same about China

olaric:
I hear you Mr President; but this your idea may not allow for thorough processing of such cases.

How? Why should it take more than three months to conclude a case?

kingzizzy:
Of course, but IPOB is not the military. Is it really practical that someone who is already armed would go to a School, in a densely populated area like Emene, on a Sunday morning, to go and learn martial arts? That is ridiculous

If IPOB wanted to learn martial arts, there are many bushes and forest on the outskirts of Enugu they could do that, away from eyes of the public and the authorities and with many escape routes for safety

What kind of group would take guns to densely populated area to learn martial arts on a Sunday that everyone is at home? Makes no sense whatsoever

The narrative that the police descended on them and just started shooting equally would need to be questioned.

If the police shot at 500 people with intention to harm them, how come only two were killed?

daddytime:
Just imagine people wey dem saddle with the task of educating a generation. Na so so strike dem sabi no wonder dem dey churn out half-baked disasters as graduates and you expect the country to make any headway?

How could an academic staff union of a university not know the difference between cooperation and "corporation" in God's name?

No be only corporation na company.

To better understand the enormity of this disaster, none of the posters above even noticed it because they obviously didn't know any better either. Even the op don sharp sharp correct him subject line lol. Na real wa

Chai.

Young man, most reasonable people will presume, rather logically, that that was a typo.

Beckham14:
We did not have it this bad under the peaceful administration of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan..

The ineptitude of General buhari is causing this nation a whole lot.

Imagine Ghana chasing us like rats from their country indirectly and making us a laughing stock to South Africa and the rest of the world. Now, one of our biggest customers have slashed it's import of our crude oil because of one lanky President Buhari.

When we talk, zombies who choose to remain eternal slaves will attack us verbally.

There are enough legitimate grievances against General Buhari so no need for contrived anger.

This one is not his fault, and the problems together Ghana stretches back for years and is no ones fault either.

alBHAGDADI:
They are things of the flesh and do not glorify God. The pastors who allow such in church are using it as a form of entertainment to keep the people in Church. Such a church is not a saved church but filled with pseudo-christians.

True Christians go to church to hear the word of God. Fake Christians don't like the word of God. The thing that keeps them in church is entertainment. Pastorpreneurs understand this, so they use a lot of entertainment which includes drama, comedy and celebrities to keep them in church until they part with their money. It's all about the Benjamins.

In the Bible, Jesus advised us to go after his word and not fleshy things which does not profit.

John 6:63 KJV
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

How does break dance and rapping profit people in Church? It doesn't do more than tickle them and appeal to their fleshy desire. It reminds them of the gig and night clubs they attended on Friday.

Gospel rap is not really for the gathering of the believers in the Church. I feel it's more of evangelism and personal edification. I hold this opinion because most times its very hard to hear what rappers are saying when they perform, so many people tend to respond merely to the music. However, depending on who you listen to, there are may be powerful messages that edify.

Note that rap is nothing but a tool and it's usefulness in the Kingdom depends on the heart and consecration of the worker.

Never forget that Paul said "I became all things to all men in order that I might win some"

These ones are kids doing what kids do

Odoctor:
HIV infection attacks your CD4 cells. CD4 cells are found in the blood. Once attacked, the defence system of your body is taken away, and you are prone to other infections, that will do the real damage - TB, covid19, Pneumonia, Dermatitis, enteric fever, etc.

So you're wrong in saying every infection is localized since clearly CD4 cells are not localized?

Odoctor:
Common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection.

Upper respiratory tract include: nose, mouth, throat, larynx.

What of HIV?

Odoctor:
Infection is localised. There is no disease on earth called infection. You must qualify it. So you cannot say,  I have an infection. No doctor will understand that language. But you say the part of the body that is infected. For example, I have an infection of the hand,  I have infection of the urinary tract, I have an infection of the skin, etc. 

And each of them have their own medical terminology. But that's not  necessary for now. 

So,  you can have infection of any part of your body. You can have infection of your nails, and can also have infection of your hairs. From now on,  do not say,  I have infection. There is nothing like that. It is a general term. But you can say,  I have infection of my penis, or I have infection of my vagina. The reason is because each of the body parts have particular types of organisms that will likely be involved. And that determines the drug to be given. I hope this serves to tell you what infection actually is. 

So when you have a cold where is the infection localized?

24SEVEN:
Edo state no get oil, yet they sited NPDC head quarters there. What happened to Rivers or Bayelsa. Bayelsa has history as the first oil producing state in Nigeria. Port Harcourt is Nigeria's oil capital. It's Unfair.

Is that not going to expose the institution to the boys in the creeks?

Besides, Edo obviously has oil.

Arrewa:
you people only loved Yar 'Adua when he was dead... We know how you all hated him when he was alive.

tell me the reason why you hate buhari and love Jonathan? If not your hatred for his tribe or religion.

Brotherly, you are right in saying that people hate the Fulani. But why should people wake up just hate the Fulani? Don't you think the Fulani have done something to elicit such widespread hatred?

thesicilian:
This looks amazing. Almost like that found abroad. I hope they manage it properly.

Err what?
