The harsh truth is that funding our universities is a difficult thing. IN 2009, ASUU and government signed an agreement. BY 2013, the money had not been paid, and by 2018, about less than one third of the money promised had been paid...and that's it.

IN 2018, the then VC of ABU, Zaria, gave a speech. IN the speech he stated that his overheads were 600million for the year. Government gave him 120 million and told him to find the rest of the money...like how? That is how he ended up saying ....you want cambridge level, charge cambridge level fees.

You cannot pay fees less than 200000 and expect quality worth 2billion naira. It is not possible. I know that most of us are poor....and so forth, but the thing is, unviersites cost money. Too much money to run, to pay teachers and other staff, to buy equipment. Our universites are in an atrocious state, and paying such low fees, and then pretending we can reach the level of a Harvard or Oxford is a joke. The oil money we have, even if we fight corruption, cannot raise our universites to high level, without us spending over half our budget on the thing.

Yes, our fathers went to university for free...back when there were less than 7 universites with about 4000 students or less. Govt then could manage. Today, the numbers are going up.

God knows I hate the Tinubu loan scheme, and I know it would fail, but what are the alternatives? Taxation, we no gree. Punish corruptuion, we gree...until it is our side (See how people were angry at the US senate for going after GEJ, AND I know how BAT People get annoyed when bullion vans and drug money is mentioned, and then Obi and Pandora and money in the car...and then Atiku own self...lol)...then we no go gree. Pay ASUU their money, we no gree. Diversify the economy, we no gree. Industrialise, we no gree.

Either we find 30 trillion naira every year. or more for education alone, or we just accept that tuition fees is all that is left. Nigeria is a broke nation. The corruption makes it worse. And even if we fought the corruption AS WE SHOULD...it would still not be enough.

yarimo:
most of them are kids with free bonus data to type rubbish

Zooposki:
Exactly what I said a few days ago and someone insulted me. 👇🏾👇🏾

ogascomax:
It doesn't belong to the pastor nor your father rather it belong to God. I can say Kanayo is right saying it belong to your father because God is our Father. So what you do is to bring it to the house of God and how it's administered by the church shouldn't be your concern. Yours is to obey God's word concerning that.

kingsways:
Please people should dabbling into spiritual matters they know nothing about..Your earthly father is NOT your God.

Your first salary belongs to God, who is your Heavenly Father. You are not giving it to the Pastor, you are giving it to God.

You can give your second salary to your earthly father if you so wish but certainly not the first.

Your earthly father probably didn’t give you the job, and doesn’t have what it takes to make you excel in and keep the job

Flame333:
Sometimes you need to talk less... I don't know what people think about first tithe but I believe that as Christians we need to understand the facts that judgment belongs to God and that pastors, servants of God are the representative of God on earth.. It just the same way Marian criticized Moses unknowning to her that there is a divine connectivity between Moses and God I don't judge pastors... How much can I give to God that is enough for me to go into judgment with him..

IgOga:
Sadly Fubara may be impeached...and once power is gone he will face huge financial debt...expect EFCC and FG to go after him for the demolition of the HoA and whatever other demolition he's planning.

Obaseki is about to face his own music.....all his niceties to Oshiomole will not save him when TInubu opens his file.

Fubara needs wisdom with Wike having the ears of the president. Play along...build the grassroot...ensure these guys don't get their ticket for reelection. Fubara presented budget to the assembly......if he says they are not legitimate why do that after the president's intervention. INEC not notified that assembly seats are vacant too....Fubara is walking through a landmine he should be careful. When Dr Odili finished his term Omehia was there for few months before he was removed and Amaechi came back from Ghana to rule

Wolexyoshi:
It is so clear that no second term for Sim as Rivers Gov.

Paraman:
I agree with the first lady

grandstar:
I don't feel it should be scrapped but the charge reduced to around 0.2% or even less.

Nigerians can shrug the lower figures off.

favor914:
Very funny, na Real iron balls as heavy as dumb bells, no wonder the Mumu Governor is extremely slow.

God1000:
This is why I don't like military junta, because of the tyranny, high-handedness and other barbaric behavior under military regime.

God1000:
I have never seen this kind of irresponsible military operation before, Israel is just bombing everywhere in Gaza killing innocent people, they don't even have post- invasion plan, so what happens after Rafah assault?

You don't kill civilians to appear strong, it's an act of cowardice

As for Biden, his hands are already soiled with the blood of innocent women and children, he says one thing to look good and does the opposite

The world is watching, we are watching everything

triple996:
A true nigerian

Thormentor:


shvt it! online Lagosian ranting

Ikembeku:
Those destitutes are afraid of osun despite adeleke being a nice man.

Is there something they run away from? Why did destitute Bola Ahmed run from irabiji to Lagos.

Many unanswered stories

fredoooooo:
Rivers abi sea or ocean .. we dey look , to those that it favor, remember tomorrow. To those it's not favoring at the moment, also remember tomorrow..
Season film

Thundafireseun:
Every sensible Nigerian agrees with Obi on this including that comedian with a dead carrier called Seyi Law agrees with Obi ….

It’s only Reno and FFK that agrees with FG Because they are hustlers like FG too

BondRiv:
This deceptive fellow.
