It baffles me how, when we're having some serious situation, the situation doesn't get enough emotional response from us as a nation. I grew up at a time when Boko Haram insurgency was really a thing—bomb today, kidnap tomorrow. I always wonder why the pain of others doesn't translate to the entire nation.

If a single person dies in a family, we are all aware of the emotional response it gets from family and friends alike. However, when it happens to the nation, we move on and resume our daily tasks.

The only time I remember an emotional response was from Patience Jonathan; she broke down on national TV about the Chibok girls' kidnapping. But guess what we focused on as a people—the incorrect grammar. I was quite young and also found it hilarious, but when I showed the same video to an uncle who had lived extensively abroad, he had a different perspective. He saw beyond the grammatical mistakes and saw the genuine emotional response. Patience was able to feel the pain as if it were immediately her own problem.

Since that time, I haven't really seen any similar response from a Nigerian leader. The aim isn't for them or us to shed crocodile tears, but rather to reflect on these national tragedies. We find leaders who should be responsible for national security commissioning projects barely a week after 200 people were slau**tered, or we see them releasing GPT-styled press releases.

I think we genuinely need to reflect as a nation.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?hmmmmm

Goodmarlian:
those countries you mentioned have a common language,common ancestry, nigerian is just a tower of babel nothing in common,the foundation is bad the house cannot stand, forget it.

No doubt the current state of the country is appalling, with more and more people moving below the poverty line. This begs the question: Who is against Nigeria's progress?

One common behavior among political fanboys and girls these days is to point fingers; perhaps we can call it criticism. The Agbado boys!, the Obidients!, the Mikano boys!

Do any of these criticisms matter or perhaps change anything?

Agbado boys: Asiwaju continue the good work…..

Obidients: Can anything good come out of this government?..

Mikano fanboys: We told you so. APC is a curse…

Well does any of this matter or affect the governance of this nation in any way? Should this cause the president and his cabinet members not to do their work?

The truth is fanboys will always exist in governments and you can always count on them to criticize the government whether constructively or otherwise. It begs to ask the question Do the opposition really want the government to fail? Beyond all you see on social media, is a people all experiencing the same thing.

The truth is we all need this country to work and in my opinion, this is the last chance we have to change the course of the nation. We need to get the fundamentals right. If you have lived abroad or gone on vacation, you will see that some of these things are not actually rocket science

In the advanced countries we envy, there are both good and bad people, just like there are individuals similar to the Agbado boys, Obidients, and Mikano boys.

Beyond all this, the president must wake up to the reality and walk the talk.

We all need the country to work! Let's discuss.

Unfortunately govt cannot decide how a bank recruits its personnel to safeguard depositors money. Also politicians are the same league with banks it will be an effort in futility. Banks require WAEC because it shows ur DOB. Access bank will accept neco as supporting docs to your WAEC. But why you no get waec now hope you are trying to age cheat.

This is not the case here. The said applicant is just 24 years old and finished NYSC earlier this year. He made 5 credit in his waec but without mathematics, fortunately he made all in his neco and has since been using the result.

Okorietitus:
Go and Google "foundation for investigative journalism". Submit your story to them.

Thereafter, write a letter to NECO and copy the Federal Ministry of Education.

See what will happen.

I will do that. Thanks

I will do that. Thanks

As someone who values fairness and equal opportunities, I am deeply concerned about the discriminatory policy of Access Bank regarding O'level results. My younger brother, like many others, has obtained his O'level result from the National Examination Council (NECO), which is a recognized and respected examination body in Nigeria. However, Access Bank has made it mandatory to only accept the West African Examination Council (WAEC) result, thereby excluding students who have obtained their result from NECO.

This policy is unacceptable and unjustifiable. Both WAEC and NECO are recognized by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and students who have obtained their result from either of these examination bodies should be treated equally. The fact that Access Bank has decided to discriminate against students who have obtained their result from NECO is highly disappointing and sends a wrong message about the values of the bank.

I believe it is important for the relevant authorities to investigate this issue and hold Access Bank accountable for its discriminatory policy. Discrimination on the basis of educational qualifications is unacceptable, and it is crucial that institutions like Access Bank respect the rights and dignity of all their applicants.

I appeal to Access Bank to reconsider its policy and allow students who have obtained their result from NECO to work with them. After all, this applicants are graduates already.

In conclusion, I urge all concerned citizens to join me in speaking out against this discrimination and demanding that Access Bank reverses its policy.

We must work together to ensure that our society upholds the values of fairness, justice, and equal opportunities.
