So those students in SS3 that supposed to write waec and are not yet up to 18 years should repeat class or demote to lower class. I'm sorry, you are not making sense at all.

This is the typical Nigeria behaviour of barking at a tree.

The government has issued a national policy that the age of university entry should be 18. I agree with this policy as it indicates that students will be more mature and decisive in their most important career choices.

The average age of an SS3 graduate is 17. I suggest that students take a gap year and work or attend pre-degree courses.

While I take exception to the extreme language which borders on hate, I think some of the content here may be true.

However, what it should do is not to hate the rich, but to work hard to develop ourselves to make wealth for ourselves.

We should think of developing the Nigerian football leagues, for example, to levels that can attract the best players in the World. Nobody was keen on doing to play in England 30 years ago. There was barely an EPL at the time. The British decided to create football wealth, like the Saudis are trying to do, after the Chinese failure to achieve similar.

Why shouldn't we try to develop and market the Nigerian league to such standards? We steal all our money and stash out in the same Europe and America or use it to import luxury items from Europe and America, creating employment chains for those countries via their export to us, but leaving us poorer by our dependence on importation, including European football television rights, using a lot of our currency to chase a few of theirs.

Have we wondered why very few South African National team players ply their football trade abroad/outside South Africa? How about the Egyptian Pharaohs who won 3 AFCON titles back to back between 2006 & 2010? The Aboutrika set...

I'll not blame Chelsea. They don't care about Osimhen or Nigeria. It is business and personal interest. Nigeria and Osimhen should develop ourselves to levels where the best English players would try to play for Enyimba or Rangers or Remo Stars. If Ivan Toney can go to Saudi today, everything is possible...

As long as the government owns the clubs and stadiums, Nigeria football will always be a mess. Football clubs and stadiums in Egypt are private.

A305:
I am a Chelsea fan. I think the way Chelsea has handled this transfer issue with Oshimen is too disrespectful. If Oshimen was white, he wouldn't have been treated this way being priced down and under valued — loaning a top striker like Osimhen with option to buy and re-negotiate a reduced wage is not fair enough deal for him. What if they Chelsea decide not to sign him after the loan? The implication for that is, his market value will greatly diminish.


Osimhen too is somehow too greedy, not compromising enough to accept Chelsea's contract due to reduced wage indicates he is in the business of football to make that money and not for the love/passion of the game.

Osimhen has played and won a football trophy; he has nothing to lose. Football is first a business, which is why venture capitalists now own Chelsea. Osimhen has a value; Chelsea has to meet that value or move on.

Zico5:
You have not answered my question. What will happen to those students between age 15 and 16 that are already in SS3. Are they going to repeat or they should move to lower class?

Your question was answered.......

I suggest that those 15/16 years old work for a charity and take professional IT, plumbing, electricity, and welding courses. Nigeria has too many unemployable graduates.

They can repeat their S3 until they turn 18 if they are lazy and unambition.

University must set a standard, and 18 should be the entry-level university.

Zico5:
Tell me what will now happen to those students that are 15 and 16 but already in SS3. They should repeat or they should move to the lower class. As well, 95% of students writing waec are between that age bracket. Tell me what will happen to them.

When I was 16, after completing my WAEC O Level in the 1980s, I joined Federall School of Art and Science to complete two years of A Level before joining UI. I also did 1 year working as a clerical officer at the ministry of agriculture and gaining valuable working experience.

My suggestion to those 15/16 is to work for a charity, do some professional courses in IT, plumbing , electricity and welding. Nigeria has too many graduates that are unemployable.

Tinibu economy has wrecked their one again after they left.

This has nothing to do with Tinubu economic policies.

Shell is a complete mess. They are laying off thousands of permanent staff in the UK. Shell has lost its competitive edge as well as critical investment in Russia and now face a potential take over by larger oil companies.

A new capital that now looks like a shithole. Nigeria government cannot manage anything

Zico5:
Can u now imagine why the minister of education is proposing 18 year minimum age to write waec. 21, 22 and 23 in secondary school when their mates in South have already finished university. If u think the minister of education is doing the reform to repositioning the education then u are deceiving urself. They are doing it to bridge the gap between north and south. That's the bitter truth.

It makes sense that the minimum age is 18, as in other countries. In the UK and USA, you enter university at eighteen when you have developed the maturity to engage with adults in an adult environment.


The South should focus on poor morals, cheating and poor infrastructures. i am from the South BTW

What operators?

Who will regulate them?

Mele Kyari should be locked up; he is an unmitigated crook.

NNPC refineries should be sold to indigenous oil and gas companies in Nigeria with well-developed oil and gas platforms.

NNPCL should be scrapped the regulation, and JV should be managed in a department at the Ministry of Petroleum.

NNPC HQ in Abuja and Lagos should be sold and converted into hotels

adioolayi:
The President and Governors should not wait..

They need to show real workings before this protest starts..

There were actions towards the buildup of the last protest..and during the protest..

Protest stopped and they have gone to sleep again..

They should wake-up..

President should ensure PMS from local refineries...Dangote and PHC should be a reality in September 2024..

Let there be some visible and impactful results

Tinubu cannot solve the problem he has created. NNPC has forward-sold or mortgaged crude oil production for the next three years; hence, there is no oil to supply refineries.

The lack of security in the Niger Delta means that there are still oil thieves, and the lack of investment in crude oil development indicates that there is not enough oil to use.

8 years of Buhair's hopeless government and one year of Tinubu shock therapy have forced Nigeria onto the streets.

Tinubu's options are small, but he can start by cutting the size of government, reforming the NNPC to a regulatory body and listening to Tilewa Adebajo

Sadly enough,some people are sure to die during this October protest again while the organizers will cash out big time


I'm working my way up, I wanna be able to use the head of millions of gullible people around me

That's a fine art of living

Sadly, Nigerians have no choice but to remove Tinubu and the useless government.


Tinubu has backtracked on all his policies.

1. Remove oil subsidies- now oil subsidies have been reintroduced
2. Float Naira - now the government has introduced managed float
3. Reduce government an d implement - now Nigeria has 48 ministries

This is why the Nigerian government are afraid of arming Nigerians. They will revolt and remove the useless government. Imagine if Nigerians were armed, Tinubu and Buhari would have been dead today.

lereinter:
If you don't have facts, keep shut and stop spreading misinformation

Who in its right senses doesn't know nigeria government can't manage institutions well

The Obj & Atiku government was involved in nitel, nlng privatization can you see the difference, was he in Jonathan government that privatise NEPA

When Atiku said he's going to privatise nnpc, you think he doesn't know what he's saying

Who's not talking about privatising nnpc today as solution to fuel problem

Shame!

FACT

it was Atiku as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai sold off Nigeria steel and aluminium industry to the Indians and Russian for nothing with no benefit.

FACT

Atiku led the privatisation of Ajaokuta and ALSCON

FACT

Atiku cannot be trusted., he is part of the problem together with the likes of OBJ, Tinubu and Buhari

immortalcrown:
If this NNPC is sincere in fighting oil theft and illegal refineries, why is it that this NNPC never mentions the names of the owners of those vessels and those refineries?

because they are associated with NNPCL staff.

NNPC is just discovering these illegal refineries after 9 years of non-activity.

NNPC should be scrapped; Nigeria already has indigenous private oil companies that will do a better job.

Go and farm; there are too many beggars in Nigeria. If you can manage a private school, you can manage a farm and feed your large family.

Gboss247:
That is the way Nigerians want it, you can see how they suggesting FG should own mores shares in Dangote refinery through NNPCL even with evidence of dead NNPCL refineries.

Nigerians like corrupt politicians because they want to be lazy, corrupt politicians.

The evidence is that the Nigerian government at all levels doesn't work. If Nigeria removes the NNPCL tomorrow, Nigeria's oil and gas industry will thrive; look at what happened to NITEL when the communication industry was deregulated.

alimiadedayo1:
so what are you now saying Atiku is behind the problem, blame game have started again and if gas is not available is it the fault of the company or the fault of NNPC and the APC government who cannot manage our resource very well

Nigeria is beyond the blame game, or APC vs PDP. Democracy is beyond the ability of Nigerians. Privatisation failed under PDP and will fail under APC because of the culture of state capture. The GEJ government privatised DISCO, and that was a complete failure. NNPC was created in 1977, and it has always been a problem. I will scrap NNPC tomorrow.

HeatSeeker:

Who will by the DISCO, where is the gas , where is the consumers

This is why I laugh when people quote Atiku's plan to privatise the refineries, forgetting that it was Atiku as Chairman of the National Economic Council and head of the National Council on Privatization, overseeing the sale of hundreds of loss-making and poorly managed public enterprises alongside Nasir El Rufai sold off Nigeria steel and aluminium industry to the Indians and Russian for nothing with no benefit.

Blazetrailer:
But this current "strategist" has worsened the situation. If Buhari was bad, this Tinubu is a slowpoke. Taking out subsidy loukdy ans returning it surreptitously devaluing the currency and cluekess about what to do next, spending scarce resources of frivolities. He is the worst

Tinubu is a monster, and the longer he stays in government, the harder it is for Nigeria.

Kam2021:
What project have you ever done in your community?

Is he the governor?

Have some dignity

greenermodels:
I'm an Igbo but Mba is one of the most useless governors rigged into power, how can that tiny unfinished looking plant with red sand everywhere be the largest asphalt plant in the southeast, what have he done about the growing Fulani herdsmen menace in Enugu state especially about those kidnapped from the school of nursing? All he does is say nonsense against IPOB and blow his own trumpet like he's doing over this plant. INEC and the court really did Enugu bad thing with installation of MBA as their governor.

Finally, some truth about this so-called largest asphalt plant

Why has it been located in a residential area, is this safe for the local community.

Amigoss:
Stop littering the internet space with banter materials for our haters with bald big foreheads from Afrique de sud.....

You foolish people from these two tribes should rest,Nigeria doesnt revolve around you two and the other tribes in Nigeria dont give a fvk about your superiority...

We provide more material to people that hate us

Will Nigeria survive if there is a WWIII? The country imports everything. Nigerians will still Japa to war-torn Europe for work

BabaCommander:
Why take over a failing business?
Out governments always like to waste scarce resources. They will pour billions of naira into it, and in a few years time everything would collapse and we will be back to square one.

It is called corruption. Nigerian government officials have seen a new mechanism to fleece the country: the new airline will be subsidised by the government, salaries will be paid like Ajaokuta and the old refineries, and no services will be rendered.

Nigeria's government cannot operate anything.

Typicool8:
This isn't about tinubu, it's about the country meanwhile, check my posts, I never supported him from day 1.

Nigeria was never mighty, generating less than 5000MW for 220 million people. The country has always been an illusion. As individuals, we can be great, but Nigeria has been hopeless as a nation. Mighty countries are known for producing stuff; Nigeria cannot even feed its people.

Blazetrailer:
I wrote on this same Nairaland that Buhari whom everyone regarded as "uneducated" cow man was far more intelligent and a far better President than the "certificate forging fake accountant cum strategist", by being smart enougj to avoid the subsidy trap but set the subsidy trap and naira devaluation traps for Tinubu. A lot of Tinubus gullible crowd and BzoTs here attacked me endlessly.

The subsidy was a simple trap and he fell for it. Something a secondary school studnet with half a brain could have detexted from 100 miles. The foolish idiot swallowed it.

Buhari is part of the problem. His excessive borrowing and ways and men meant that the country had no funds to continue borrowing to fund fuel subsidies. Buhari left Nigeria with a total public debt of $110 billion on an income of less than $36 billion. Under Buhari and Mele Kyari, Nigeria's oil production fell under 1 million daily.

Tinubu and Buari are both hopeless and incompetent.

Chaii, how has the mighty fallen!!.

Tinubu was never mighty; he was always a charlatan and a thief. It was people like you that elevated a nobody into a mighty. You made Tinubu to become a Nigerian problem.

Validated:
Nobody should stress themselves, when we get to power, we will do the needful. The laws are there. Let them enjoy the loot while it lasts, afterall we are still recovering those of Abacha's family. This OTP government would not be an exception.

Thst is because Abacha is dead. There is no recovery for the loot stolen by GEJ, OBJ and the Buhari government.

fedundiran:
It screams
Low self esteem
Inferiority complex
Colo mentality
Sl@very mindset
Crass Ignorance

It screams Africans are fed up with its hopeless leaders who can't provide the most basic services such as clean water, primary healthcare and primary education. Nigeria has over 30 million children out of school and living on the street...madness

madridguy:
Our past heroes fought tooth and nail to gain our independence but today many of us want our colonial masters back.

Imagine everyone holding USA,UK and Germany flag.

I want to know when the church will have holding such crusade in Nigeria, let me also grab my passport photograph make I go pray because Tinubu is/ showing me more than shege.

Our past leaders were ignorant and inexperienced and demonstrated African limitations in the modern world.

It is blatantly evident that Black Africans are not capable of operating in modern society; call it Afrophobia.

misransome:
Then expect arik to fail again. Nigerian government cannot run big business, they will run it down 20 times with corruption.

Correct- they know this, but how are they going to steal?

A government that cannot manage gold mining or oil refining, a making-money venture, has no business in service ventures. The airline will be another NITEL, NEPA or NNPCL
