They can do anything for the electoral campaign. Na now you remember Buhari don finish Naija because 2023 is close again baa? You come carry cameraman go buy groundnut you no go chop? Even the face of the poor woman shows she didn't approve of what they were about using her to do politically.


See en head like bicycle seat.

Despite his brilliant academic background, he lacks political skills and failed to learn from his 2019 mistakes, Nigeria politics must be grassroots-driven. Soludo has a better chance of being Nigeria first Igbo elected executive president because he has the APGA infrastructures and has been elected into office.

J3susFr3ak:
Interesting that you mention India's population size. I understand you wanted to emphasize that it is not the size of a country's population but how "productive" that population is. India's tech sector is still growing. Their fastest growth area is reflected in the boom in Tech Unicorn Startups as mentioned in this article: https://www.ibef.org/economy/indian-economy-overview-- "India is the fourth-largest unicorn base in the world with over 21 unicorns collectively valued at US$ 73.2 billion, as per the Hurun Global Unicorn List. By 2025, India is expected to have ~100 unicorns by 2025 and will create ~1.1 million direct jobs according to the Nasscom-Zinnov report ‘Indian Tech Start-up’"...

Nigeria's extremely large population is nowhere near productive even for fourth world countries. There is absolutely no policy to incubate any virile world-class tech or industrial startup scene at all. What is the point when even the basics of providing constant and stable electricity has not been mastered? Emerging markets like India and even more-so China--have since leaped far ahead because they prioritized the need to produce and export "something of value"...rather than roll around the the low-wage resource exports tier. Countries like China also understood "growth" by placing a one-child policy for a period in their history with a clear understanding of how Malthusian dynamics can doom a nation's economic growth plans. Nowadays, a more prosperous China has done away with limits to child bearing and is encouraging their young citizens to have more babies because of the greater trend of an aging population.

What has doomed Nigeria for so long is the fact that a wild out of control population growth is driven more by "political competition" rather than an a natural organic natural growth reflecting the actual capacity of citizens to take care of themselves. The various ethnic groups have not understood the types of "growth" that correlates with a high human development index--where the quality of the population means a lot more than the "quantity." Becoming a diligent "civil servant" in any tier of government is not the type of technical growth we are talking about.

Why has the budget ballooned out of control? Because a massive hydra-headed beast of a leeching Federal Government sucks in and spits out into artificially created constructs called "states" that are even more unproductive but need an unhealthy amount of subsidies from a mono-export to survive.

If I had the powers I would scrap two-thirds of the existing states, wipe away the existing local governments (those who want to exist must tax themselves to survive), create a more regional or state policing system (relieving the FG of this burden) and encourage each state to exploit more of their own resources to export for cash. Then, for each state or region...it is sink or swim time! If anyone likes, train your youths with the technology of tomorrow or train them with Almajiri and Nomadic Terrorism...it is all up to you. No more oil revenue to cover your shame anymore!

Development is not rocket science.

Nigeria return to 6 or 12 sustainable regions, cut population growth and focus on product development and not mono-resource.

backbencher:
The harsh reason why Buhari is borrowing is simple

The oil price is and has never been at the level we need it to be to adequately fund our budget.

Oil amounts to a small percentage of our GDP but a large percentage of our budget revenue.

You are writing out of ass! What was the oil price under OBJ, Abacha, IBB etc? Under OBJ oil price was under $30 for 6 years and reached $60 in his final two years yet OBJ managed to clear the national external debt.

Over the past year, oil price is $80 yet Buhari has managed to take more loans close to $30 billion, who will pay back this debts

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that democracy remains the best system of establishing governments because it guarantees respect for the fundamental rights of individuals to choose their leaders.

Unfortunately, Nigerians are worst off today than they were under the corrupt military government in the 1990s.

Why has democracy failed in Nigeria?

Jaqenhghar:
There is a reason why the successful software engineers are either introverted, or those who started coding s8nce they were children.
If you are in your 30s, its going to be very hard to put in thay level of committment.
Most of them are just looking at the salary they think the job is like civil service work where you sign in, gist all day and go home.
There is a group on reddit for software engineers talking about the challenges they face. Majority of the. Talk about being burnt out due to the volume of work. I have heard of 2 instances where SE had to be hospitalized because of stress

Stop spreading false information. If you look for negative information you will find it. You can suffer stress and breakdown working as Uber driver on the street of Lagos.

I worked in engineering for many years and only moved into IT in my very late 30s and still rose to the top of my IT career which is still going very strong as of today, I am currently an employer.

Age is not an issue in Software Engineering, as long as you are prepared to work very hard in developing your skills and competency by working on complex projects, you can rise to the very top of this young industry. The brilliant of Software Engr is that all the skills that you required are online on youtube or GitHub.

Your old skills can be easily transferred into a career software engr especially if you have experience in Engr, accounting, management etc.

I will suggest working on Blockchain or Ominiverse/Metaverse projects.

Thinktwicemybro:
You can develop an accounting software that will earn you a PhD in accounting without studying accounting.

Probably download an opensource accounting software from Github for free

Abujason:
Confused mdfcker.
After empowering them by giving them recognition, money and ammunition now you are criticizing them. The beast you, Buhari, and the rest of the Northerners created and raised will devour you all in the North soon. Just watch!

They are hopeless,

Dshocker:
If they succeed in arming citizens,nobody survive in Nigeria after 1yr

No one will survive if we don't arm the people

The government officials that reviewed and assessed the building plan must be arrested for manslaughter, but knowing Sanwo-Olu they will ignore their own enquiry as they did with the EndSars

Builders of collapsed Ikoyi building not certified’: A structural engineer, Muritala Olawale, has told a Coroner Inquest into the 21-storey Gerard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos building collapse that the builders were not certified.

Olawale made the disclosure in Ikeja yesterday while testifying on the circumstances that led to the November 1 building collapse in which 46 people died, News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

While being questioned by Mr A.S. Odugbemi, counsel for the Lagos State Building Control Agency, Olawale said that the builders on the construction site were not certified by the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON). He also revealed that he was not registered with Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

“I am not COREN-certified. I do not have BSc Engineering but a Higher National Diploma from the Polytechnic Ibadan,” he said.

Olawale said that when his team worked with Fourscore Heights Ltd, they were responsible for the first floor of Block B which collapsed.

He told the inquest that he withdrew his structural consultancy services via a letter dated February 20, 2020. https://thenationonlineng.net/builders-of-collapsed-ikoyi-building-not-certified/

You need more than a building and structural Engr degree to approve the design of any building. Corruption and lack of standards has finished Nigeria.

The lack of discipline in his camp is a clear indication that of what would have happened.

ukahrawah:
Nothing new. Afterall, it happened in Lagos. What this country needs is restructuring. If it takes only Lagos, Rivers, Anambra and Kaduna states to float, watch other states as they learn to swim by force to remain alive. Feeding bottle and nepotistic federal system will turn this country to Afghanistan.

The federal system has turned Nigeria into Afghanistan.

Reference:
You have refineries that have not worked for three decades and through six governments and still cannot find it in you to think out of the box and consider the fact that Nigeria does not have a structure that makes government any good at any enterprise as exemplified by the sentimental decision to build a rail line to a foreign country before establishing a network within proving that position which no right thinking businessman or business concern will do.

If the government can't operate a simple refinery with the assistance of external contractors, what makes you think that they can govern a modern country, make monetary policies, collect customs and sell government agencies to qualified private businesses.

The sooner we realise that privatisation only works in a well-run country, the better. We just withness a government agency (NCC) sell a 5G licence to a company (MAFAB communication) that was created in 2020, that has no infrastructures, forwarding address, business Email or website.

Abdul05:
Abeg don't politicise these killings ...


It is just a pity ... We are facing a great challenge

ISWAP, Boko Haram are political movement, their vision and ideology is extreme Sharia law and intolerance to minorities and other religious movements.

Politics means :
The activities are associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power. ISWAP and Boko Haram want to govern Nigeria as an Islamic state.

Nsibash:
Why do I feel like there's something fishy about these MAFAB guys.

Anyway when breeze blow, fawol nyansh go open

Mafab doesn't even have a website that works, a company that was created last year with no technology or telecom track record.

Mafab Communications website faces glitches after winning 5G licence

omoadeleye:
That 9mobile network just useless anyhow,

Like, NCC suppose to close the network...

What do you expect when they sold it to an FX bureaux de change,

Who is behind Mafab Communications? They can't even host a basic website, their LinkedIn profile is basic and the owner of so many companies unrelated to technology. Pantami and his colleagues need to be investigated.


https://techeconomy.ng/2021/12/mafab-communications-website-faces-glitches-after-winning-5g-licence/

Mafab Communications, led by Alhaji Musibau Bashiru, was licensed in July 8 2020, to provide and operate Local inter-connect and International carrier services.

How do you replace a poor coach (Rohr) with a useless coach Augustine Eguavoen? Nigeria is in complete freefall.

Recall that Rohr’s contract was terminated on Sunday by the NFF.

Augustine Eguavoen was immediately appointed to take charge of the Super Eagles on an interim basis.

Awkabigboy:
I mean the mechanics in Nigeria are mainly the informal ones except the car companies which I'm not writing about here. I mean our everyday mechanics are not mechanical engineers by profession , then why are certified mechanical engineers shying away from this lucrative sector to give the people what they indeed require.

Engineering degrees are usually designed and analytic focus and train you to be competent analytical problem solvers. Mechanical workshops are usually operated by technicians e.g people with technical certificates and diplomas.

How is Robotics obsolete?
You are here spewing trash while you have failed to show us what you have invented that is not obsolete.

Bleep off man.

He has not done anything unique using enterprise robotic process automation and image recognition is used across the world to manage airport baggage handling.

She is only pointing out the hypocrisy blinding you people. Bishop should not be making statements like that, when we clearly know that he is a Pdp sympathizer?

When she is busy sending her children to £40,000 per annum universities in UK, we all know the hypocrite

Kdon2:
My brother that is not possible. Nigeria is not Afghanistan. We have the die hard igbos too, niger Delta that you don't want to mess with and the Yoruba that seems docile. E go shock them!

The docile Yoruba's fought the Fulani jihadist to a standstill in the middle belt, why other empires were falling. The docile Yoruba's protested to force the return to democracy. The docile Yoruba's created Amotekun to counter Fulani incursion in their land.


You don't fight wars by shouting Ipob or Biafra succession, you build internal capacity and exploit the weakness of your enemy.

The North will fall because they lack capacity and leadership.

jadyclem:
The commercialization of terrorism by the ogas at the top is the only reason why they have not been defeated yet. It's the same old weapons that goodluck regime used to chase bokoharam out of the Nigerian territories they were occupying then in less than a month when they knew it would affect the election. So until the government and the military ogas at the top see the need to expel those terrorists out of our territories forever, they'll keep commercializing it.

Chief, the monster has grown beyond the corrupt political elites and military ogas, ISWAP and BH are ideology have the backing of power Middle -East and Nigerians Islamic fundamentalist.

They have tried and failed in the Middle East, with partial success in Iraq and Syria, but West Africa with its large population, arable land and resources, is a bigger catch than even Saudi Arabia.

creolehunt:
Professionals in the House, please which do you advise?

I already have an MSc in a Social Science course, but plan to pursue a career in HR but have been wondering the best path.

Should I pursue an MBA in Human Resources from NOUN or simply sign up for a CIPM certification?

You already have a MSc in Social Science , why waste more time and funds on a MBA at this stage of your career, get your CIPM build up your experience and in 5 years do your MBA

oj3k:
These politicians are very desperate

You are blaming the politician, what about the people that are cheering him on.

gidgiddy:
If 5 Policemen have to run after him while in his own compound, how many will he need when he leaves his compound?

He is a prisoner in his own house.

alizma:
Every country want to have space in Africa

Except Africans

Asian and their racism...

including its entire diversity, equity and inclusion team, which deals with complaints about racism and sexism in the workplace.

Samfloxin:
Obiano tried but I pray Soludo will concentrate more on road construction because Obiano no try at all on road construction.

You call this trying

Arrewa:
Shoprite, Silverbird Cinemas and other high-end outlets begin setting up office at the new Galaxy Mall in Kaduna with 3 cinemas , 48 line shops and 6 restaurants . Shoppers going to Abuja and Kano for certain goods and services will now get them in Kaduna. IGR will rise.

The mall is sitting on 11, 000 square meters along Waff Road and it is designed to accommodate 48 line shops.

Focus the development on the indigenous population, not just the fair skinned Fulani coloniser

Bad Country

simabastin:
Just get on with it already!

They talk too much instead of doing the job, the Akwa Ibom first priority should have been the deep seaport, before all those grandiose projects such as the hotel, golf course and stadium. I hope they build the port, but considering that it will be owned by the Chinese who will benefit.

isaiah4life:
When they credit your account, you become their puppet. He who pays the piper dictate the rhythm of the tune.

They have weaponised poverty, all Nigerians are hostage to a democratic process that has reduced Nigerians to irrelevance. I am sorry to support
