Nothing Africa can do successfully on their own .

Jakumo:
The southern creep o the Sahara Desert, propelled by climate change and global warming, runs a close second to the mass illiteracy of Nigeria's northern wastelands, as a motivating factor that is driving hordes of hungry and illiterate northern Muslims into Nigeria's largely Christian south.

It is that desertification that sends thousands of crop-devouring cattle herds ever deeper into Nigeria's southern agricultural breadbasket, leading to the deadly clashes pitting terrorist cattle herdsmen hellbent on feeding their cows for free on people's cultivated crops, against farmers desperate to protect the crops that represent their ONLY means of feeding their families.

alsudan:
If we now have a North East development commission, why can’t we have one in the South West?

Don’t know what the Middle Belt Legislators are waiting for, they should demand same.

myobjective:
It is more complex than that.
The apartheid South Africa really messed up the country, living the majority of the population poorly educated and unable to contribute to the modern economy.

Apartheid South Africa was only built for 10m white and to some extend Indian immigrant why the majority of black South Africans who were the majority lives in abject poverty. It requires more effort to bring these poor, uneducated, unproductive majority out of poverty. Reasons why it very hard for the government to continuously maintained the poformerce recorded by the apartheid gov't.

Corruption is a also a factor. Government bureaucracies are corrupt all over the world and it is worst in developing countries without the institution to check and balance.

Finally, South Africa major problem is lack of educated manpower than can propel her into the next face.

Chineke!!!

1.4billion for 13acres.

No way a land around winners will cost more than a million.

I learnt this land was regarded as evil forest and it was almost useless to the family.

Winners did them a favour by turning a once evil forest to a glorious city.

Greedy omoniles.

Why do many call them anything else as if they aren't bandits?

No sane man will be in Northern Nigeria, Iraq, Syria or Saudi Arabia and insult Prophet Mohammed. It is suicidal. Even those doing it here on Nairaland wont want to do it in public. Religious tolerance please.

maasoap:
If I don't have time or knowledge to counter the rest, but this number 5 was a blatant lie and gross misinformation. That was the first time Boko Haram attacked public institutions, killing anyone in sight, be it Muslims or Christians. That was when Yaradua travelled to outside the country (Brazil I guess) and left instruction that they should be crushed. Hundreds if not thousands of them were killed in that week alone.

KEVIND:
What makes it a fake news? Is it because the age long secret behind the insurgency in Nigeria is been unravel daily.

1. A Borno State-based cleric and Director General, Centre for Justice on Religion and Ethnicity in Nigeria, Rev. Kallamu Musa-Dikwa, has said three governors from the North started Boko Haram in Nigeria shortly after return of democracy to the country in 1999.

2.“The creation of Boko Haram started in 2000. I sent some messages and statements to some people and media organisations then. When Olusegun Obasanjo became the President of Nigeria in 1999, he appointed service chiefs – all from the North Central zone – Benue, Plateau, Kogi and Kwara states. Incidentally, all of them were Christians.

3.“After they contributed the money, those organised Islamic militants started religious crisis in Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, saying they wanted Sharia. The aim was to intimidate and oppress the Christians. They started attacking churches and killing people. Any time elections took place and they did not favour them, they would burn churches and attack their members. They never went to offices of political parties or the Independent National Electoral Commission office to carry out their attacks.

4. On February 18, 2006 in Maiduguri, those boys came out and said they wanted Sharia law and that a governor in the state then did not cooperate with them. And because of a cartoon that was designed in Denmark in 2006, they protested and burnt down 66 churches in the state and killed many Christian men, women and children. After that, they started moving from house to house, church to church, yet nobody talked – we were the only ones talking or raising the alarm about what was happening”, the clergyman is quoted by the PUNCH on Sunday.

5. He added that in July 2009, the insurgents “burnt down 27 churches and killed many Christians. At that time, they did not touch any Muslim man or woman. They only killed security agents and Christians.

6. From 2009 till 2014, they were attacking churches – going from house to house, slaughtering Christians. They started attacking people, including Muslims in 2014 when they felt their leaders had deceived them by not backing them to fight ‘infidels’ in the North. Four of our reverends were slaughtered in 2009.”

executive12:
And you think the power sector can be fixed without restructuring Nigeria? Nigeria is a dysfunctional country. Nothing can be fixed here without first restructuring the country.

helinues:
Had been it was easy to do, OBJ could have done it in his 8 years as president.

Restructuring in Nigeria will take at least 15 years, that's only if the Nigeria states are ready to find a means of generating their own income instead of waiting for free oyel money..

Bayelsa state with population of 3 million have been receiving 13% cut on oil for how many years now? We are talking of billion of dollars.. Where are they? Any developments to show for it?

kiyosaki1:
That's to show the current government is prudent and not spending any how like PDP. I mean audio prudence .

‘First of all, it’s an architecture that is a tool to create a better human habitat and bring about social change. Also more specifically, Hannes Meyer, second director of Bauhaus, and Sharon’s mentor, really emphasised the more scientific approach to architecture, where architecture is not just an aesthetic whim, but based on a rational study of climate and physical conditions. Sharon followed this, and based his design on several ecological studies. Modernism wanted to be international, but in this campus, we see the influence of local culture – we see decoration on the walls and shapes that correspond to Yoruba culture.’

Bauhaus-inspired university campus in Nigeria designed as a social stage
A documentary titled Scenes from the most beautiful campus in Africa – a film about the Ife Campus commissioned for the Bauhaus centenary celebrates the Obafemi Awolowo University in Nigeria. A symbol of Nigeria’s Independence from Britain in 1960, the modernist university was a product of politics, design and climate, yet its main priority was always its function as a social stage for education and community.



In the occasion of the Bauhaus centenary, architect and historian Prof. Dr. Zvi Efrat was commissioned to create a short documentary by Germany’s ‘Bauhaus Imaginista’ travelling exhibition programme, with the aim of uncovering a lesser known Bauhaus building that would demonstrate how Bauhaus ideas had spread across the world. Efrat picked the Obafemi Awolowo University located in Osun state, Nigeria.

Originally known as the University of Ife, the campus was designed by Bauhaus graduate Arieh Sharon together with a team of Nigerian architects including Lagos-based architect A.A. Egbor between the 1960s and 1980s.

Efrat’s film takes a social journey through the university site – into covered outdoor spaces where students gather informally, past concrete buildings connected by pathways, up stairs and through courtyards where air circulates, light penetrates and shade cools. With his lens, Efrat wanted to capture how Bauhaus design and theory was combined with climactic and cultural specificity – most importantly with continuing success today.

The layers of the university’s history, and its meaning today, are as complex as its layered levels of architecture. The building represents an important moment in time for Nigeria as a symbol of its 1960 independence from Britain, while also at play is the national relationship between Europe, Israel and Nigeria as well as Arieh Sharon’s Bauhaus education. Even the act of Efrat’s own documentary-making is critical to the neccesary post-colonial conversation. As an architect, academic and author, Efrat was well positioned to approach all of these angles through his documentary.

The commission for the university project arose within a decade when political relations between Nigeria and Israel were aligned. ‘The year of 1960 was the moment of independence for Nigeria, when it was decolonized from the British. The country wanted to build a university that would represent Nigeria’s own ideas of democracy. They didn’t want to use British architects, nor architects of European powers, but Israel was also considered as a country that also had been decolonized a decade before by the British. Later however, 10 to 15 years on, Africa would reject Israel politically, and in the 1970s it would be not welcome,’ says Efrat.

must everything be about Buhari? What did those before him do to education in nigeria? We have been on a downward spiral for the 25 years.

Serge Gnabry has scored more goals in London this season than Nicolas Pepe.
Just a reminder that Arsenal sold Gnabry for £4m and bought Pepe for £72m.

proclinician:
Don't be silly do you think i don't know. Question again is how many times did miyetti fvcking allah come up on national tv and claim responsibilities of blood shed and destruction of lives and properties? What in the holy hell gave them that effrontery, that audacity, that impudence and that boldness to do so? Do you know what it means to kill people and destroy properties then have the guts to go live on television and say i killed those people and here is what i want if i dont get them more will go down?


Terror

This is ridiculous

I just watched this video and fear gripped me for this man life. He should run from.that village. Just imagine the boldness

proclinician:
All through the times these incidences happened did you hear miyetti allah come up on national tv to claim responsibilities of threatening u with a knife or overrunning a village? Why now? These became acts of terrorism the moment the group waded in to make political statements because buhari is supporting them. I tried so hard to explain to one idiot here the difference between isolated attacks and acts of terror.

haywire07:
I still find it hard to understand how someone will confidently walk into another man's farm with his herd and begin to feast on their crops.

Nobody should come here to shout 'it's Buhari'. I don't want any false political energy this morning.

After all, this farm invasion didn't just start a decade ago. Infact, as far back as 2004, a very little fulani boy had threatened me with a bread knife while I was returning from school and passing a short cut through a farm .

Then as at 2008, I watched my first exclusive leak tape in which the Fulani tribe overran an entire village (I think in Jos) splitting even babies' heads in twos with their panga

How a Nigerian woman ended up married to two men

At the heart of the controversy is 32-year-old Hauwa Ali Mariri, who now risks punishment if she is found guilty of misleading the men.
They were married for 17 years and had six children.

Bala Abdulsalam, 35, the second man in the story, said Mariri had told him that she had divorced her husband and that they could get married.
The two-year relationship produced a child and Mariri is now pregnant with her second.

Mariri has moved out of the house, leaving behind the six children with Ibrahim, while Bala has been told by the Sharia police not to leave Kano, as they are still investigating the case.

Who did this to the north?
President Goodluck Jonathan started this Almajiri school to help cut down the level of illiteracy in the north.
[b]Tell me what he didn't do so that the north will be happy yet they hated him and prefered a visionless man because he is their brother.
[/b]Why are they now forcing down Jonathan's visions on their people
Tell me what policy their own brother has brought in place to better their region
God is watching them, let them kontinu
All this evil they are committing with Boko Haram and herdsmen will never go unpunished.
You can never cheat nature

seunmsg:
Shettima is an idiot who derives joy in creating ethnic division and promoting northern supremacy. This is the same idiot that gave Igbos October 1st 2017 ultimatum to leave the north. Bigots like him should not be given any serious attention. Any northerner that is opposed to the return of power to the south is an enemy of the country. El-Rufai should be commended this time around for speaking the truth.
