Education › Re: 2025 JAMB Top Three Candidates So Far (Picture) by sreamsense: 10:25am On May 17, 2025
Although, this has been disputed; there is a Yoruba lady from Ilorin that scores 373. But the point is why is it that to get best education at primary, secondary and university level; you have to come to south west schools. Don't be surprised that even that best from Kano may be from school being proprietored by Yorubas based in the north. Why is it that the best of every non-yoruba can not come out academically until they attend south west schools? This shows Yorubas are truely organically best in almost every sector like education, entertainment, sport, law, technology etc.

If you see any highest score from WAEC, jamb even many years back from non-yoruba candidates, such candidates must have passed through south west to enjoy their quality education that Awolowo laid its solid foundation and peaceful conducive environment nature of south west that aids learning. So, without south west in Nigeria; it means no education in Nigeria would have reached standard for recognition in africa talkless of the world. Thanks to UI and Convenant University that always represents Nigeria well.

There is nothing bad if other zones can send their teachers and pioneers in quality education to south west for training and retraining to spread this quality to other parts of Nigeria for excellence in quality education

This has nothing to do with ruling Nigeria. Inec knows who the authentic leadership is so they should get to it cos there is nothing like 3 factions in Lp
Go and put your house in order! It is not the duty of INEC to pick authentic leadership for you. Call your LP leader and Obi to settle themselves. It violates the rule of INEC to be a busy body in the affair of any party.

The leadership of LP should settle and pick one person that INEC will officially recognized.One person submitted by the leadership of INEC that meets constitution guideline of INEC is the authentic INEC will recognize, INEC will not pick one of the three for you, it is not her duty. LP is not ready to rule themselves well talkless of Nigeria

Is it the duty of INEC to put nose in the internal affair of LP so the court can later call them busy body? You want INEC to honour one of the three so everything can become violent and accusation of INEC, right? How will LP that are not more than 20,000 members be divided into three and you expect them to rule Nigeria? The party is never serious, money and people in their possession they can't manage, is it the huge population of Nigeria and resources they will manage?

TallNigerian:
Good. Now, that they have been scrutinized and given security clearance. Let us begin to ask other important questions.

1. Why did the so-called contractor have to ship in 89 workers from Katsina?
2. What happened to recruiting within the employable population in Lagos?
3. What is the motive and/or economic sense in transporting workers from Katsina burdening the company further with providing accommodation for them?
4. Will these workers pay PIT to Lagos State Government? Or will they enjoy tax free wages?
5. After the contract, will the contractor ensure their return to Katsina or leave them to add further pressure to the scare resources and over-stretched public amenities in the Metropolitan City?

Meanwhile, there's absolutely nothing wrong with shipping workers from Katsina. But 89 at once? LASG need to ask questions.
Keep asking irrelevant questions as if northerners are not human beings. Go and start your own refinery and employ only your family members if you like. Because the company is cited in Lagos, others from north shouldn't benefit aside Lagosians, right? Many Lagosians and south west are already recruited as qualified professionals.

Dangote usually recruit from different universities and tribes. These people are recruited as mere labourers which is cheaper compare to hiring Biafrans that will be boasting they are all billionaires and can't do that work. It is the turn of Katsina ( not even Kano his own state) to also benefit.

Amumaigwe:
Shut up this rabble rouser. They are not in shortage of staff in NNPC because of their secret recruitments that steal SE quota in favour of other regions. Let them steal SE quota in the Army as they are accustomed to doing. Why the noise?
Stop being ignorant! I just told you the truth you don't want to hear. NNPC, CAC and Army are all federal agencies that are bound by the same law and constitution for recruitment exercise. So, far you have no valid admissable evidences at court of law to back your claim, you are still categorized under making mere speculations.

If your law gives NNPC permission to make secret recruitment as federal agency, then; army also follow same suit, but at moment weather secretly or publicly recruitment failed at moment in the south east because ipob wasted lots of able youths as ESN that failed to achieve Biafra, but encountered unexpected and unripe death since they failed to surrender to army, police or government when they were called upon to do so. Ikonso that was killed as one of the zonal leaders of ESN and his members would have properbly been alife and interested in joining army or police, but they get themselves wasted without achieving or near Biafra's flag post.

Many courageous and bold youths that like army or police like jobs are gone, many were bombed in their hideout in the ir forest camps, many more were killed trying to attack police or army, some were killed through public jungle justice, some were killed as saboteurs by other versions of ipobs killing themselves then. Can you count how many ESN, Ipob killed? Off course, you will agree they were many.

If those population of ESN and ipobs are alife today, wouldn't will have many that will be interested in joining army and police since many of them were jobless and brainwashed? I just show you greatest contribution to youth shortages for army and police recruitment. I am not forcing you to believe, but that is the truth and major factor. It is not the only factor, but major reason for shortages

You better kalm down because your comment is getting too heated.

Government jobs are by their nature over applied for when it is employment time. That's why there is no begging for them
That is only the self-consolation message of deceit you like to hear if you want to deceive yourself.

Why is army begging?

Army is begging because their is shortage of able men that could apply from Biafran.

What caused shortages of able men from Biafra land since they were always over applied before?

Shortages occured after many able men that Kanu showed their huge population some where in the bushes recruiting them as ESN to fight for Biafra as ipob. Many of these men were killed in their bush hideout by army. More of these youths were also killed targeting police and army. Some were killed by jungle justice from people when they enforce Stay at Home in some public places.

Were the same army begging south west and north west youths to join army?

No, because nobody deceived or wasted their youths for any futureless biafra, there was no shortages among them unlike among Biafrans that ipob wasted able youths.

Are their reasons for NNPC, CBN and CAC to beg south east youths for employment ?


There is no need since their is no shortage in numbers of those that apply there either from south east, south west or from north. These were not the people bombed in their bush camps, killed in the public as ESN members. So, the population of these agencies are not affected. Application to these agencies remain competitive as usual.

Still wondering why huh
They can't beg you to join NNPC, CBN and CAC because ipob and ESN did not waste staffs of those government institutions or deceived them to fight futureless Biafra war. Youths that Kanu and ekpa wasted their lifes were recruited as army of Biafra (ESN) who ended up being killed in majority by Nigeria army and police until Biafra are short of able men that can join army.

The staffs of NNPC, CBN and CAC were already employed that Kanu and Ekpa could not be capable to deceive or entice. Many youths Kanu and ekpa employed as ESN members to fight for Biafra are jobless people whom many were even deceived will collect their entitlement when Biafra is warned. Nigeria army did not bomb NNPC, CBN and CAC staffs because none of these staffs hide in the bush camps of ipob to be later bombed by army and Soludo security. So, the shortages of Biafrans are apparently needed in the army to replace those able men that Kanu and ekpa wasted for Biafra course without result to show for it.

Politics › Re: Nigeria’s Growth Rate Too Slow For $1 Trillion Economy - World Bank by sreamsense: 11:41pm On May 12, 2025
Agbegbaorogboye:
The World Bank has cautioned that Nigeria’s current economic growth rate may be too slow to meet the federal government’s ambitious target of transforming the country into a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

This was disclosed in its latest Nigeria Development Update (NDU) report titled “Building Momentum for Inclusive Growth”, released on Monday.

According to the Bretton Woods institution, achieving this economic milestone will require a significant ramp-up in the country’s growth trajectory, by as much as fivefold.
“The pace of growth in Nigeria needs to accelerate further to meet its aspirations and deliver poverty reduction and shared prosperity. The economy would need to grow at a rate about five times higher than recently to achieve a US$1 trillion economy by 2030, the government’s aspiration,” the World Bank stated.

Growth Without Inclusion
While Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.84% in Q4 2024, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the World Bank notes that this is far below the level required to reduce poverty, create jobs, and achieve long-term prosperity.

The report emphasized that it is not just the rate of growth that matters, but also the composition and inclusiveness of that growth.
“To succeed, the economy has to grow at a faster pace, but also in a more inclusive way. Not only must the economy grow faster, but it also needs to grow in such a way as to generate jobs and opportunities for the Nigerians who need it most: the poorest and least prosperous,” the report said.

It noted that while sectors like finance and ICT are currently among the best-performing segments of the economy, they are not sufficient to drive mass employment. These sectors, although important for GDP growth, do not provide widespread job opportunities for the general population, particularly the youth and low-skilled workers.

Need for Structural Transformation
The World Bank advised that the composition of Nigeria’s growth must be rebalanced towards sectors and firms that are labor-intensive and capable of generating broader economic opportunities.
Agriculture, manufacturing, and services targeted at domestic consumption were listed as critical to achieving this transformation.

These sectors not only have the capacity to absorb a large share of the labor force but also to deliver more equitable income distribution across the country.

Policy Implications and the Role of Government
The report acknowledged that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has made bold moves in implementing reforms such as fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification, but it warned that without accelerating structural transformation and improving governance, the potential gains from these reforms may not be fully realized.

More insights
During the Nigeria Economic Summit in 2023, President Tinubu stated that a $1 trillion economy is possible by the end of the decade in 2030.

Several analysts, including the Managing Director of Financial Derivative Company, Bismarck Rewane, have stated that President Tinubu’s $1 trillion economy target of the current administration will not be possible in the next five to six years.
All these ipob and obidients faking profiles will keep deceiving themselves thinking they are deceiving people with their fake sourceless news. Once they hear Tinubu or Nigeria is progressing, they become sad and begin to hunt or fabricate fake news around. They are always sad at good news. As this one was busy composing fake news, Tinubu was busy winning lifetime award in Ghana. Our president is gradually growing economy, be happy, don't be sad!

attackgat:
I wonder why people refer to it as as Peter Obi's Brewery when Obi's does not own a single share in the Brewery? Obi's only used Anambra State money to buy 15% stake in the business

For those who don't know, International Brewery, Onitsha, formally known as SABmiller Brewery, was inaugurated by Peter Obi. The company brews the famous Hero Beer, Eagle Stout, Eagle Malt, Trophy Beer etc

This company has created hundreds of jobs for Anambra people, and had a turn over of nearly 500 billion Naira in 2024

Think about that next time you call it 'Peter Obi's Brewery'
So, is this the company that fed ipob drunk to the extent of carrying guns to kill their Igbo people and use Igbo virgins for ritual? One day, police caught many ipob at a beer parlour early in the morning in of the police raids against ipob. Will ipob insanity have increased if there is no such international alcoholic company in Anambra state?

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/10/07/we-are-continuing-with-peter-obis-legacy-in-education-says-soludo/?amp
Do you expect him to say he would discontinue before when you know they were from the same party then? Until Soludo entered and handing over of previous government records and notes were handed over before he confirmed the truth and the figures. Even Ekpa continued legacy of Kanu, Tinubu continue legacy of Buhari so far you are on the same party like in the context of Soludo and Obi; saying so is a normal thing.

If truely poverty decrease from 53% to 14% during Obi, why were many obidients and ipobs supporting him today complaining bitterly during the time they claimed poverty decreased from 53% to 14%? Can that kind of achievement be real and many were complaining and insulting him then?

Politics › Re: God Spoke To Me To Buy The APC Form. I Am Proud Of My Zero Votes-pst Bakare Tund by sreamsense: 11:44am On May 10, 2025
Daejumong:
“I came out of the APC primaries with zero votes but I wore it as a badge of honour because I didn’t compromise! Those who buy delegates with dollars can’t be true winners! It is better to be cheated than to be the cheat”
I never wanted to buy the APC primaries form because it was too expensive at N100m but God spoke clearly to me in the bathroom at 2am on Good Friday, April 15th,2022. He said:’you want to save your nation? take the form and leave the rest to me’ - Pastor Tunde Bakare( In his autobiography, The last but definitely not the least)(Pages 451/458)

Important Questions to ask:
1) Was it really God that spoke to Pst Bakare or was it his mind? If it was not God, what could make a father of faith and prophet like Bakare mistake his thoughts/mind for the voice of God?
2) Did God change his mind after promising him to go ahead? Would God allow him to waste N100m($240,000) to buy the presidential form?
3) Was his spiritual antenna obscured by his passionate desire to become Nigeria’s president?
4) As Christians, must we vet and scrutinise everything our pastors and GOs claim God told them privately?

# I salute Pastor Tunde Bakare for standing strong and not compromising by joining the bandwagon of politicians who bought delegates with dollars. He is a man of proven integrity and forthrightness#

Deuteronomy 16:19 (New International Version)
19 Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent.

Daejumong 10/5/2025
I am not speaking for or against pastor Bakare. However, in general; some men of God or christians don't at times know how to distinguish our thought, wishes from when God talks to you. God is always faithful to His word, but because God had talked to some men of God or christians in different occasions that came to pass; some now see God as who should be talking at every occasion to them like in sport, politics etc., thereby listening to their own intrinsic voices unknowingly because they are trying to turn God to their errand boys that must speak at every situation to them.

Many christians should just calm down for sure confirmation when God talks to them. Know how to distinguish Voice of God from your own inner thought. If truely God talks to pastor Bakare to collect form, so far God does not give a specific time and season when it will come to pass. Everything works for those that love Him. God telling him to collect form now might be to just gather experience that he will later understand the reason for it in the future. Even though it does not come to pass the following year does not mean it is not the voice of God, it maybe for future purpose. However, God talks to his own.

God has talked to me through His Holy Spirit in many occasions that came to pass beyond human understanding exactly as God told me. When God talks to you, it may not be when you are expecting him to talk. It might not even be the day you prayed for something; there are visons God shows you today that will get fulfilled in the future. If you misunderstood your own intrinsic thought to be God's voice, just adjust and learn more on how to distinguish God's voice from your self thought. However, I am a candidate that has witnessed how God talks to His own

What is poor kids looking for in this type of school in the first place? Poor kids will never make attempt to go to this kind of school because the parents wouldn't be able to even pay for entry form not to talk of school fees or other bills. You can only see one or two accidentally poor parents who had been paying before, but perhaps because the parent jobs were unexpectedly terminated; they are unable to pay on time.

Even with this the parents are still not categorize as poor in this context because some these still have assets can sell to pay off or have rich friends that can pay for them or borrow them.

Nowadays, you have been talking much about politics than ipob. Is this a sign that ipob is gradually gone into coma after serious beaten Tinubu and Soludo to eradicacte traces of ipob in Anambra and uprooted their herbalists that usually tell them to sacrifice Igbo virgins. Thanks to Tinubu for breaking Monday-Monday self imprisonment that Ekpa put the people.

Remember that 2023 you are talking about, Ekpa was still in charge of Biafra lands and as emotional sympathizer to Obi. Many ipob members were never liberated then. Ekpa was still selling Biafrans for Google money blogging. Tinubu had not demonstrated his ability that he could conquer ipob in less than 2yrs of his reign. Now, that eyes of Biafrans are opened which made many Biafrans to now decamped from LP and PDP across south east. Never expect same voting pattern to play out except you are.still using expired ipob brain for your political analysis.

Obi can never win in Lagos and Abuja again, and more south south will be won. Obi will even struggle to win south east not with wide margin this time around. You yourself better renounce ipob in totality and forget anything about ipob, then; join APC if you want to win in 2027 or join LP/PDP if you want to loose in 2027
