We warned Nigerians when APC politicians were coming as the messiahs to sell petrol for N40 per litre, will make $1=N1 and fix power in 6 months that they are scammers and liars but they said Sai Buhari, a new sheriff is coming to town, we're corrupt, we do not want change bla bla bla sheep.

Nigerians had it coming!

We do not learn from our mistakes

Chief Awolowo did not have to confront opposition based on religion. People behave irrationally when religion is in the mix. Rational arguments do not work.

naptu2:
That's essentially what they are doing, but you cannot make changes against the will of the people. Governments in Northern Nigeria have tried to ban the almajiri system, but they've failed because the people are against such bans. Therefore the government is integrating it with the regular school system, but the people will still have the name that they want.

(Remember that this is a democracy, not a dictatorship and you can't ignore the will of the people and impose whatever you want).

Kings999:
LOL HOW IS THE NEW CONSTITUTION GOING TO HELP NIGERIANS.. I'M JUST ASKING?
ALL I KNOW IS THAT ANY THING OUR POLICTICIANS REJECT IS WHAT WILL FAVOR THE PEOPLE AND WHATEVER THEY ACCEPT IS WHAT WILL KILL THE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN SELFISH INTEREST...
IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR NIGERIA TO BE BETTER MY BROTHER NA FOR YOUR DREAM ..

naptu2:
This is what northern state governments should have done from the beginning. I mean, it's a no brainer.

Banning the Almajiri system will be too difficult, because there's a demand. It will take reorientation for generations to achieve that.

The obvious common sense thing to do is to integrate the system.

What is almajiri system of education about? Isn't it simply about Islamic education? Well, if that's the case then there's no reason why Almajiri teachers cannot be trained, just as regular school teachers are trained and there's no reason why they cannot be employed by the state governments and made to teach in regular schools.

I don't really understand this people ...how is igbos wanting biafra because of hate for north ?

Ask yourself is it only lagos that has access to the sea? Why are there no other major sea ports in the south?

Find out about the UK and ask yourself if all the sea port are in London and all the Goverment minitries are in London?

obasiken:
Upon all the FG assistance Lagos has been getting? some states are begging for 20% of what lagos has already received from FG. It is the infrastructure and parastatals eg Seaport, international airport, embassies etc, that Lagos received from FG that made Lagos what it is today not the other way round.

ThePlainTruth:
In a sane country these these federal government infrastructures would be distributed across the country

NaijirianKing:
This is a welcomed development, pragmatically speaking, Nigeria is a Muslim majority country and Islam is Nigeria's dominant religion. Unfortunately, some Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith in peace, imagine a school girl having her hijab ripped off at her school in the SW.

Such freedoms should be guaranteed by law. Development can only happen when there is strict adherence to rule of law and religious freedom. Let's live together in harmony.

losak9111:
Our judiciary are too expensive, before you can hire charge and bail lawyers hmmmm, we are praying for surviving, your mentioning sue the government. I beg how is one congo of garri in the market now?

SamuelLoch:
It's surprising that some people would mock this man!

Truth be told, if we had inculcated an habit like this, no matter how small, we wouldn't have gotten to where we are today...

Some areas have not seen light for years... It's normal for them to buy fuel, but these areas have a local government chairman who does not reside in that LGA. Nonsense!!!


I'd rather want to sue the Government for bad roads than seeing the mechanic unnecessarily, or reading about accidents on Nairaland.


I'd rather want to sue the Government for not having water than installing bore hole/well water with my money.


I'd rather want to sue the Government for not enjoying my night rest because of power supply than run the generator and disturb the neighbors. Mosquitoes grow wings when there's no light so I have to also treat Malaria.


I'd rather want to sue the Government for not having a good healthcare system, than travel abroad for surgery.

And on, and on, and on...

Lalasticlala, justwise, won't you rather sue the Government?

BeansAndBread:
Let me ask you a question, which law is the right one, Shari'ah or secular laws? I genuinely wanna know, I'm Muslim and Yoruba too

Amotolongbo:
I just love this Olofinjana guy being a sensible and career person. How he was able to combine his academics (Chemical Engineering in Lautech) and professional football career.

I guess he has been one of the few graduates (if not only Nigerian university graduate) that ever played for the Super Eagles

The Midwest was the only region created by a referendum of the people. A second Midwest referendum is coming.

While some leaders in other part of the world are busy commissioning manufacturing sites & launching new technologies, our rulers are busy opening common buildings, roads & bridges that should have been done before now.

You want to punish a student for practicing her Religion/culture

With the way buhari has messed up Nigeria, it'll be hard to redeem the country.

How do you over come laziness and dizziness when working
Just as the topic stated , i will like us to share experience how you over come laziness and also dizziness when working on a client project, task or a pet project.

Laziness can be as a result of an easy task that you can implement in some minute or hours but took you 2 days to do, and dizziness is when you have to stay awake all night mostly for remote guys working for foreign client with different time zone.

How do you manage to balance sacrifice, discipline and commitment when working?

Good dey guys..... I was discussing with a friend of mine. He wants to move out of the country(uk) but his parents are trying to cajole him to stay ( he’s from a well to do family and they are financially capable)

His plan is after nysc he would go for masters and find his way.

He is 21 and currently serving (he’s field is IT)
But the issue is that his parent are trying to fine tune his head to stay (he’s the last born)

Their excuse is that
1) you would do menial jobs there
2) there is nothing there
3) even if you get a good job there, it’s difficult to rise as a black man
4) you will be lonely

Their main bone of contention is that there is nothing there.
Note: his dad and 4 other siblings out of 5 studied in the uk tho.

My friend doesn’t even want to stay atall, most of his friend are in the uk, he doesn’t have friends in Nigeria except a few. He doesn’t like going out because he said his mind is not in Nigeria. If you see him ehn you will know that he’s depressed. All he wants is to move to the uk.

He’s not even a badboy he doesn’t smoke, drink
He’s not a womanizer

(2 of his siblings have been in the UK SINCE early 2000’s and are already citizens)

The dad also isn’t saying he should not go, but after service, he should get a job first probably with Goverment (due to job security because his dad retired with the government) then work 2-3 years before going for his master.

His point his that he wants to go now that the funds and everything is intact. What if something should happen in future nko?

My advice for him his to leave immediately after service after all he has siblings who are in their early 40’s there to put him through and also a lot of family friends there

What would you advice

Nigeria's problem was never poverty, it's always been greed.

Poverty doesn't cause crime, crime causes poverty.

Stop making excuses for greedy criminal's .

Starzo:
later,the ones in Nigeria will say it's bad govt that is making them go into internet fraud. They even openly boast about their evil exploits and viciously attack those that call them out for their wrong doings.

This one that is in the U.S, is it also bad govt, corruption and lack of job that made him do it?

What is wrong is wrong and should be condemned completely without making any excuses
Learn to.do what's right and stay away from evil.

Stop tarnishing the already bad image nigeria already has outside even further.

All naija politicians and Yahoo boys belong to the same league and must be casted out if we are ever go to achieve great things and restore the respect we have as a nation.

Hello nairalanders, I'm working currently as a laboratory technician, but my parents wants me to further more for medical laboratory science course in university.

Seeing the way technology is moving, I've decided to go into IT, which is the reason i want to use the money I'm supposed to use to study MLS to go into programming, instead of using 5yrs studying MLS, that's even if ASUU did not extend it to 6 or 7years, i want to dedicate this 5-6yrs of my life into programming( web development and other parts of programming maybe application software development also).

I've also decided to go to teach myself first online, and later go to IT school for certificate and meeting with other IT gurus sake so as to gain from them.

So is programming worth sacrificing this career for? Please advise.
