WAEC we know, JAMB we know,


But please what is the use of Junior Waec

Junior WAEC helps schools sort out students into whether they would be 'science' arts' or commerce' students in Senior secondary school

Indirectly it determines which course one would read in university or polytechnic eventually.

Free education is not a simple matter.

Budget for education in Nigeria is less than N1 trillion.

Lagos better face reality. They cannot sustain this.

He has a hard face he doesn't smile

So what? I had a christian lecturer, two in fact, in my university days who hardly smiled either...and he wasn't a Muslim.(Both of them were even born again self)

Let's avoid bigotry. Many Adamawa people have lost friends and relatives to Boko. For all we know, he might be having a hard face because he is among those affected.

Thank you.

He also assured students that his administration would be committed to resuscitating scholarship scheme, youth empowerment and other programmes to move the state forward.


“We are also going to pay WAEC and NECO fees for students to reduce the burden on parents,” Fintiri said.

Again...IF he has the money.

Let's be frank...our grandparents 'went to school for free' because back then less than 10% of children were in school. Easier for funding then

I don't think we can sustain that in this Nigeria...with educaiton budgets less than N1 trillion.(we need N3 trillion to fix universities )

noisy45:
This guy looks like Boko Haram

Are you , or were you a member of Boko Haram? Since it seems you can identify them so easily...


Let's avoid bigotry here. The guy you are calling Boko has probably lost relatives to them. Thank you

IF....he has the money to do so.

Either he is going to raise taxes to fund the new salaries...or he takes loans to do so.

No governor can pay minimum wage for now. Not with oil at the price it is.

Plus...are private business owners in Adamawa going to pay the new minimum wage? (We shall see!)

Anambrapikin:
If you are not matured and ready for marriage please don't force yourself because there are many responsibilities and wahala that comes with marriage.
If only Africans will see marriage the way white men see it.

You make a good point.

However, in Africa, the purpose of marriage is to have children who will support you in your old age.

White people don't need kids to support them in their old age. They basically have strong support systems, including welfare and a pensions system that makes sense.

Nigeria? If you are lucky, you might see your pension on time.


Another thing about developed societies, their elderly can die alone. My Nigerian grandparents died with family around them.

XOGBADO:


MODs, I think comments like this should be deleted especially when it's on the first page of the thread.

I'm shocked that someone could write this.

You can report the comment to bring it to the attention of the mods.

Don't quote the guy, he is a well known troll.

Wealthyone:

U get sense so?

Do not respond or feed him. He glories in the abuse and insults he receives. He also has several monikers here on Nairaland

sammirano:


You cant just subject an infant to such radiation. Op. It may not be epilepsy as you claimed unless it has been diagnosed by a neurological specialist. It might be a brain birth defect that may require surgery or some targeted medication. It's just unfortunate that Nig lacks medical professionals. Anyways seek first, second even third opinion.

In my second post on this thread I posted medical advice from Epilepsy UKs website (up thread)

A baby can have some scans done.

Epilepsy in babies
If a baby has epilepsy, it means they have had seizures. This information is about seizures in 2 groups of babies:

Babies under 1 month old (newborn or neonates)
Babies between the age of 1 month and 1 year (infants)
Seizures in babies under 1 month old (newborn or neonates)
The brains of newborn babies are sensitive to seizures in the first week of life. Some babies will continue to have seizures as they get older, but some babies will never have any more. It really depends on:

The type of seizures they have
Why they started
When they started
What types of seizures do newborn babies have?
Subtle seizures – In babies, seizures might not be obvious to an onlooker. Their seizures may show as changes in breathing patterns or movements of their eyelids or lips. They may have bicycling movements of their legs, brief jerks or episodes of stiffening of their body and limbs. They might be less alert than usual. It might be difficult to attract their attention and their eyes may not focus properly.

Clonic seizures - the baby may have jerking or stiffening of an arm or leg that can switch from side to side.

Myoclonic seizures – the baby’s whole upper body may suddenly jerk forward. Or both their legs may jerk up towards their stomach, with their knees bent.

Tonic seizures – the baby’s body will stiffen and their eyelids might flicker.

Seizures in babies between the age of 1 month and 1 year (infants)
What types of seizures do infants have?
Clonic seizures - the baby may have jerking or stiffening of an arm or leg that can switch from side to side.

Infantile spasms - the baby may bend forward and their body, arms and legs go stiff. Or their arms and legs might be flung outwards. These seizures usually affect both sides of the body equally.

Myoclonic seizures – the baby’s head may appear to be nodding, or their whole upper body may suddenly jerk forward. Sometimes babies’ legs jerk up towards their stomach, with their knees bent.

Tonic seizures – the baby’s body will stiffen and their eyelids might flicker.

Focal seizures - the baby will stop what they are doing, and they won’t be aware of what is going on around them. They may stare, or move their eyes or head to one side. One side of their body might jerk, and this could change from one side to the other. The baby might go on to have a tonic-clonic (convulsive) seizure.

What causes seizures in newborn babies and infants?
There are many causes of seizures in babies. In around 8 out of 10 babies with seizures, a cause will be found. These are the most common:

Being born very early, and having bleeding inside the brain. This is called intracranial haemorrhage
Being born on time but having a lack of oxygen to the brain. This is called perinatal hypoxia and can cause an injury to the brain called ‘hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy’
Having low levels of glucose, calcium or sodium in the blood
Having an infection such as meningitis or encephalitis
Being born with some damage to their brain. This is called cerebral dysplasia or dysgenesis. Cerebral means relating to the brain. Dysplasia or dysgenesis means unusual development
Inheriting a medical condition, such as benign neonatal convulsions or having a metabolic disorder such as GLUT 1 deficiency or a genetic disorder such as Dravet syndrome
For around 2 or 3 in 10 babies, no cause is found.

How are seizures diagnosed in newborn babies and infants?
It can be difficult to recognise seizures in babies and infants. That’s why it’s important that they are referred to a doctor who has had specialist training in diagnosing and treating epilepsy. The specialist will ask about:

The baby’s behaviour
Whether all the seizures look the same, and last the same length of time
Whether the seizures happen while the baby is awake or asleep, or both
Whether the seizures are caused by changes in the baby’s posture or when they are doing different things
Whether the seizures interfere with, or stop, the baby’s activities such as feeding
Whether you can stop the seizures after they have started
Recording any behaviour changes on a mobile phone could be very useful to show the specialist. It can help with making the diagnosis.

Epilepsy Action has more information about diagnosing epilepsy

The specialist may then arrange for some, or all, of the following tests.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
The baby’s brain is constantly producing tiny electrical signals. During an EEG test, electrodes (flat metal discs) are placed on their head. The electrodes pick up the electrical signals from their brain and record them on an EEG machine.

The EEG can give information about the electrical activity that is happening in your baby’s brain at the time of the test. Sometimes, but not always, it can be very helpful in showing whether a baby is actually having seizures, rather than abnormal movements. This is because the brains of babies are very different to the brains of older children, and not all of their seizures show up on the EEG. However, if the EEG is very abnormal, it will tell the doctors more about the baby’s epilepsy.

Epilepsy Action has more information about EEGs

CT scans (computed tomography)
A CT scan is a type of X-ray that can show the physical structure of the brain. It doesn’t show if the baby has epilepsy. But it might show if there is anything in their brain, such as a scar, or damaged area, that could cause epilepsy. Not every baby will need to have a CT scan.

Epilepsy Action has more information about CT scans

MRI scans (magnetic resonance imaging)
An MRI scanner uses radio waves and a magnetic field to show the physical structure of the brain. It’s more powerful than a CT scanner and has a higher chance of showing whether there is a cause for the baby’s epilepsy. Not every baby will need to have an MRI scan.

Epilepsy Action has more information about MRI scans

Blood tests
Blood tests are used to check the baby’s general health, and to look for any medical conditions that might be causing their epilepsy. They can also be used to find out if the seizures are not caused by epilepsy, but another medical condition. An example would be low blood sugar (glucose) or low calcium levels.

Some babies will be referred to a genetics department for further testing. This will depend on a number of things, such as whether they have any other medical issues, and their family history. The referral will usually be made by the paediatrician or the paediatric neurologist.

Treatment
There is a large range of epilepsy medicines used to treat seizures in babies. The choice of medicine will depend on:

The baby’s seizure type
The age when the epilepsy began
The cause of the epilepsy, if known
Whether the baby has any other medical conditions, or takes any other medicines
The likely outlook for their particular type of epilepsy
Some of the epilepsy medicines used in babies include phenobarbital, phenytoin, clonazepam, carbamazepine, stiripentol, sodium valproate, levetiracetam, and vigabatrin. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is also sometimes used. An epilepsy specialist might also prescribe other epilepsy medicines, depending on the baby’s condition.

Epilepsy Action has more information about treating epilepsy

Long-term development
The outlook for a baby’s long-term development depends on what type of epilepsy or epilepsy syndrome your baby has. Their epilepsy specialist will be in a better position to discuss your baby’s outlook once all the test results are available.

Have you thought about seeing a neurologist, OP?
How about having a brain scan done, among other investigations?

Better take her to see a pediatrician or a neurologist as soon as possible for thorough investigations.

kpaofame:


Even Jesus was involved in scandals and called a heretic if you know scripture you will know thats true.
I doubt if the media will say good things about Jesus because he frolicks with people of low "reputation" and known bad past.

That said am against anything that water down the purpose of the gospel.

Just because Jesus sat down with sinners did not mean he partook of their sins.

Just because a doctor meets sick people every day does not mean she is sick too.

Please, let's not justify sin in the house.

The problem with your comment is what you think investing means.

You think that investment means that someone is going to come and build stuff for you for free...while you don't pay anything for it.

Look, MTN and company came and invested in our GSM sector. Nigerians also did their bit by paying high prices for SIM. (My dad got MTN sim for 10000 in 2003. Needless to say, he still maintains that line!)

Regarding power, the law that set up DISCOS makes them charge bills that are far below the cost price of producing power. As a result, they cannot pay for the power produced by the GENCOS, or raise enough cash for investment in fixing our transmission system

So, the DISCOS are not seeing return in investment, and as a result, we don't have enough money to fix stuff

The problem with you Nigerians is you want everything to be done for you for free. China and company that will come and build stuff for your regions...abi dem go come give una awoof...or no be the same high bills you go pay...if not higher.

Thing is, if we want to see improvement in power, we either face the reality of high prices for power...or we keep on taking loans, and pouring money down the hole that is NIBET....ie subsidy for power....while nothing changes.



As for your six regions thing....won't work. The same issue of marginalization and so on will remain. We have states. You people are not focusing on using them.

Problems with the chruch security

1.A 2 year old wants to urinate...why didn't an adult take her there?

2.Church has no CCTV cameras anywhere?

The church better review its security issues NOW.

That's a problem I have with some churches...they let children wander around, and when one goes missing....

And grow up.

ObaKlaz:
What makes you so sure Iginla is unrepentant?! How does resignation exactly translate into total repentance? ?? The church of God has always been subjected to incessant criticism, Iginla or not, Oyakhilome or not! JESUS WOULDN'T INSTRUCT IGINLA TO QUIT MINISTRY if He were to speak audibly from heaven so everyone could hear! JESUS WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED WITH HIS GENUINE REPENTANCE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HIS RESTORATION (case study: Peter, the Rock)

Has he reconciled with his wife, and cast away the other woman?

Obviously not.

Let's not justify sin in the house. Remember Achan

Jessyjack:
the devil is really trying hard to bring down the gospel through this man.... but our confidence is in the word of God which says" the gate of hell shall not prevail".......

The pastor is a liar.

When Jesus heals, he heals permanently

Not the fake healing of people like Pastor Alph.

Stop being a pastor worshiper. Jesus is the real deal

For anyone who thinks Mr Yesufu is a Muslim, here is this statement from his blog

This blog is an arm of the ministry I carry out for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My ministry, GODSPARTNERS Evangelical Outreach, is a non denominational Christian work committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with all men. We hold a fellowship at my home in Ibadan, Nigeria, once a month - second Saturdays to be specific. Here God's word is taught in an informal atmosphere where Christians enjoy great liberty of the Spirit as we share fellowship together. This blog is an extension of this.

Princeofnigeria:
Don't judge.


Imagine a Muslim masturbating in Christian issue, while their prophet from Saudi Arabia slept with a 12years old aisha

By the way, Yesufu is not a Muslim.

Here is another of his articles

The thing is, Nigeria can only have light 24/7 IF we increase generaiton to at least 20000MW.

But when bills are below production cost...

ObaKlaz:
Yes - Iginla screwed up. I agree with the writer's opinion... BUT, suggesting that Iginla should resign and quit ministry... I don't quite accept that. Art Azurdia quit ministry out of PERSONAL conviction, having exposed his own moral deficits, every minister of the gospel that 'falls' must not have to quit for good. Peter denied Christ thrice, became penitent and went back to his fishing profession, then the Lord found, restored and made him a cornerstone. True penitence, genuine repentance and DISCIPLINE should be emphasized, rather than seeking the ministerial demise of a minister of the gospel.

Has Pastor really repented, or was all he did just for the image?

If Pastor resigns, will the work of God be damaged? Will God stop working because Pastor has to take time off to repair his relationship with God?

Pastor better repent. He has become too addicted to the glory, and has forgotten that Jesus should be first. Besides, his staying there has opened the church to mockery and criticism. If he had repented and resigned...things might have been better.

Unconquerable:
No where in the Bible did Peter, John, Paul or any of the followers of Jesus define themselves as members of any particular sect of Christianity. They were simply followers of Jesus. And they were known as Christians. Much as some of what this fellow wrote is true, it is both preposterous and pathetic that he crucifies a certain sect as a scandal-ridden institution, which implies there is a better alternative. Could he be civil enough to tell me which?

All Pentecostal Christianity , and all their scandal ridden pastors need to do is to follow Jesus, repent of their sins, give up their obsession with power and personal glory, and start doing things for and at the instruciton of God.

You see, when David sinned with Batsheba, Nathan did not tell the people of Israel to go and follow another sect. Nathan told David he had sinned, and he needed to repent.

And so he repented.

That is what the Church...not just the Pentecostals, needs to do in Nigeria. Repent, go back to Jesus, follow Jesus, not Superman Pastor who can do a million magic tricks...follow Jesus.

But too many Christians are pastor worshipers, and the pastors no longer have a relationship with Jesus either.




As for you....there is no perfect sect. Follow Jesus. That is all he commands. Don't look for a good church, or a superb Pastor with the golden tongue, follow Jesus.

Can you idiots allow this issue to go?

Jobless cowards.

Princeofnigeria:
Don't judge.


Imagine a Muslim masturbating in Christian issue, while their prophet from Saudi Arabia slept with a 12years old aisha

The bible is very clear about what constitutes the sin of adultery.

The bible is also very clear about the qualifications for leadership in the church.

Pastor Iginla has failed at both positions.

And you people are saying we should hide sin in the church because of some other religion's peccadilios .

The reason why we Christians are experiencing Boko Haram, Herdsmen, economic crisis, illness, etc, is because we are worshiping and defending our pastors when they sin. And because there is sin in the house, the devil is dancing azonto among Christians in our country.

Pastor Iginla and all the other pastors should repent. Even if they lose their ministry, they need Christ more than they need the adulation of crowds, the praise of men.

God's work will not suffer even. God can do his work without these men.

So, let us stop defending sin in the house. IT is even sad that it is a so called Muslim, a gentile, that is calling us out.

Forget all these 'Touch not my anointed' comments. That was used in refering to threats to the prophet's life. Calling a pastor or an anointed man to order about his sin is good work too.

Or was Nathan wrong when he called out David...God's anointed, a man who had had God's spirit moving in him during a time when the move of the Spirit was a rare thing, A man who was anointed by God via his servant Samuel...about his sin with Bathsheba. ? Should Nathan have kept quiet because David was 'God's anointed. and we should not judge?'

Stop worshiping pastors, and start following Jesus. Jesus won't let you down.
