Is offering Nigerian students free WAEC forms a good or bad thing to do? Yes or No.
It will be a waste of time to continue with u. Your WAEC or whatever education has proven a waste. Education first use is to teach people to understand and respect others and to use people and resources in the way that benefits all and improve living. You have failed in this. Racism isnt something to play with. Isn't something to make joke out of....its a plague of the earth. You have failed in basics. You didn't have a good education. You social or economic status is nothing much if your basic orientation is warped. Because of people like you, government shouldn't be thinking of wasting money to pay for WAEC rather they should think of overhauling our education system and curriculum to produce better people and patriotic citizens.
NGpatriot: You mean millions of Nigerian students and millions of Nigerian parents are not part of the Nigerian population?
Why are you ipob like this..?.. Comedians.....
Why is it always hard for you ipobs to make sense?
Omo yoruba ni mi. You are a shame of Yoruba tribe. Yoruba are enlightened and expose. An educated person will know that if you go far back enough in history, we all came out from the same household. Somebody with a good life that isn't a waste of space and resources, will know that race has nothing to do with peoples performance or anything much. You find good and bad people everywhere. You are a bad yoruba.

Why are you ipob like this..?.. Comedians.
Now you aren't only a problem of Nigeria. U are a problem of the world. A cancer that should be removed. Myopic and uneducated. Racist...u don't have any other thing to thrill yourself with other than castigating other tribes. Your type are educated illiterates, scum of the earth and shame of your family and accomplices.
Speak for yourself, you don't speak for millions of poor Nigerians all over Nigeria.
You don't get to decide or dictate to Nigerians what should or not be their primary concern...............
Like you don't understand how things should be. A federal government is meant to tackle things that affect the general populace more. General things, like security, health, good road etc. You dont expect the federal government to come out and say it will be buying clothes for people, or roofing sheaths because in truth some people lack these things. One problem of Nigeria is what I deduce you are showing. People do not even know what to demand of their government. People like you don't know the responsibilities of government...you don't know what good government looks like.
NGpatriot: Access to good education and higher education is a priority, and the fact that WAEC fees is not a problem in your households doesn't mean the same is the case for millions of poor Nigerians all over Nigeria.
Speak for yourself and confine your rich man arrogance to yourself.
Put in order of priority my dear, in the present Nigeria now, payment of WAEC fee is far far far behind in most peoples mind. How many people write WAEC every year? About 3million. And it just take a couple if days in the week. Have you seen WAEC issue making front page on nairaland in the last couple of years? If the economy is fixed and doing well, nobody will be talking about payment for WAEC. Mind you, it strike a totally different chord to say they offer to pay for tuition fees, that is they intend to make primary or secondary education totally free Come on friend.
NGpatriot: Education is the foundation of our destiny and vehicle to prosperity and good quality of life, many parents can not even afford these forms and they are obstacles in many households, taking this small burden away is a game changer and an opportunity for many students to cross that finish line.
If you have any objection or dislike the idea of the government paying for WAEC forms and paraphernalia, you have every right under the sun to refuse or reject the offer because you can afford it and paying for such forms is not a problem in your household, but you can not speak for millions of families all over Nigeria. One man's food is another man's poison, what's priority in your household is not a priority in other people's household.
The bitter, shorghtsithed and thoughtless idea that we must reject everything no matter what is very sickening, this is a sad and disgusting disease of when they do, you object and complain, when they don't, you still object and complain, some people just think they must occupy the news space for their own selfish and self-promotion not knowing how backward and counterproductive they sound.
These clout chasing noisemakers need to start speaking for themselves instead of shouting and making their silly and pointless political noise that can not help the average Nigerian in any way, it is not by force to criticize.
These characters just shout and reject everything no matter what, but they lack ideas, they don't have solutions, they are not creative or even interested in any solution.
They say they are the leaders of tomorrow, but educating and helping the leaders of tomorrow to get ahead is still a bad thing to do, we must kill all the terrorists first, we must put water in every tap in Nigeria before we help our children to get ahead.
It's like saying children must not go to school until we tackle all the problems in the world.
Many of these backward thinking and low mentality idiots are the same kind of worthless leaders they cry and shout every day that they don't want.
This is just too sad and pathetic.
Its lack of priority and not being sensitive. Who is thinking of WAEC fees among the plethora of problems facing Nigeria. This men are archaic and they have lost grasp of the realities and demands of the modern world. If he had said he will fix our school system, build laboratory or look into our curriculum then that would have sounded smart. Offering to pay for WAEC sounds shallow and doesn't look like a pressing need with the general public
OneTwoOne: Relieving common man of their burden is archaic to your head
I laugh at that head of yours.
Meanwhile tell us what's not archaic that should be done

LegendHero: Why will I criticize anyone for this? Does it even make logical sense to criticize someone for trying to lend a helping hand to students writing WAEC with regards to fees?
We have some state governor owing WAEC/NECO fees that sometimes affect the release of student results so what is bad in FG trying to lend a helping hand if it’s possible?
I will not critique Atiku or Jonathan for something like this.
What I expect Nigerians to ask is that where will be see the money to do that judging from our current finances where we have less to spend. That is still a valid criticism.
I am not stupid like those other Nigerians that criticize every damn thing Tinubu says.

What is bad in the FG paying WAEC fees? At least some governors are currently doing that for their states so I don’t get where all this grievances from so called Nigerians are coming from.
It is this same Nigerians that were complaining that Jamb fees should be scrapped, now someone wants to pay WAEC fees for student and they are wailing again. It seems everyone is confused in this country.
He has done it before for Lagos. Tinubu was one of the first governors to pay state student WAEC fees and he even extended it to non-indigenes in Lagos during his term as governor.
He also mentioned insecurity that needs to be tackled in that video so I don’t know why these so called bitter Nigerians are fuming over what he said using insecurity as an excuse.

Bauer1: I know this isn't the right section. But I don't know the right one and so I opted to post here since it seems to have a lot of traffic.
Yesterday, I returned to my room to find a rat dead in the middle of it. Ordinarily, I wouldn't be bothered. But this rat has clearly been bitten (pictures will be displayed below). I called a neighbour and we examined it. We were arguing if a snake could have done it, and if yes, why it didn't swallow it. In any case, we decided to leave it where it was to see if whatever killed it would return for it. I went to sleep at a friend's.
We returned this morning to find the dead rat gone. So, I called others to join me and we ransacked every nook and cranny of the room. We couldn't find anything threatening. But we did find another rat killed in much the same manner as the first (second picture).
It irks that I can't find what did this. I can't sleep in the room as it is. So please, experts in the house, help me to identify what it could be and what can be done.
Mods please help move to front page.
That's not snake bite...I suspect cat. Let me give u another angle to think about. When u ransacked the house did u see another rat? I guess the answer is no. But there are rats in ur house no doubt. The fact that they can hide from you might indicate that another animal of similar size to them can also successfully hide from you. How I am sure its not a snake though is that those Mark's arent snakes. Snake do not eat or chew, they bite and swallow. If it were a snake mark, it wont be more than few tiny Marks.
DannyXpress: Then i think it's snakes You need to be very careful man. Snakes can live with humans in their house for months without you knowing.
Buy snake repellents and spray garlic and onions in your room. It will flush them out real quick.

joyandfaith: He has been in struggle for years just like yinka odumakin and kayode fayemi. Truth is that most people rooting for Tinubu are doing so for financial gain. Others are deceiving him because they would work against him in secret. If you sample opinon of 10 yorubas on Tinubu presidency, 7 would say no to Tinubu presidency.
Hmmm, this are the type of people we really need in nigeria. But the system doesn't allow them to come through. It's only people that can leak ass and play bad politics that succeed.
My lovely wife and I have been married for almost 2 years now. I know I am not a perfect person and she is not too but we have been managing.
Why I opened this thread is that I am very afraid of her new attitude of always carrying weapons anytime we have a misunderstanding.
It started when I found out she had an abortion without telling me and when I confronted her she flared up and started behaving like a tout jumping here and there.
On Friday last week we were discussing about how to go about the new business I want to set up for her and somehow we got into an argument and she ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
Again, this morning I simply asked her to waybill some foodstuffs to her father as I wouldn't be able to do that before heading to my place of business and she grabbed my clothes and started calling me names, next thing she picked up the belt hanging on the wardrobe and started threatening to teach me a lesson.
I have never been a woman beater and honestly don't know what has gotten into her. We have a pending issue we are yet to sort out but still I am keeping my calm why is she the one suddenly going violent??
Please what do I do? I don't want blood on my hands because if I touch her it will be very bad. My marriage is still young.
I suspected she had had an abortion that the two of you agreed to before this last one. So she has lost inhibitions. If this is true then you are both murdered. Its ironic how you are now very concerned about your own life. Those babies too had a life. Abortion have a way it deals with women's sanity. She may truly have lost some screws. Forgive me if my assumption about your complicity in previous abortions us wrong. But people nowadays are not aware of the grievous nature of abortion.
Grayoso: Rather, you are the enemy of Nigeria. Placing a curse on others for voting candidates of their choice? Throwback cave dweller.
One can tell the nasty fetish home you came from.
But people should not exercise right of choice just because they have it. We should be responsible with the way we choose. Its peoples choice that have led us where we are now. Many that made the choice to put us here are regretting. I have families that cant look at me in the face now because of guilt. Shouldn't we learn? Shouldn't we be very careful and even weary of a canditate that looks very similar to the bad one we chose and that even relate freely together? We really need to be responsible with our choice. 8 years is no joke. We don't live forever. I had my Dad before Buharis tenure but he died some months ago. Our hospitals are terible. I am concerned about the next eight years. I will start having children too. I should have even, if not for the bad economy. We have to start taking leadership seriously. It's more than religion and tribal affiliations and more than bragging rights. Because some people unfortunately vote for these leaders just so they will be a able to brag to friends that they won...like it's some kind of football matches.
InternetAgbero: Please, how do I go about reporting an international romance scamming syndicate that I was a part of years ago?
The person I was and the things I did in the past, I do them no more for I have seen the light and the result of my "magic". The "magic" I did, I have seen the result of and it is not pretty. It is demonic and basically taking someone else's life-force.
Upon sharing the truth, I became a pariah and labelled "mentally ill" by these so-called members of my family who are still very much involved in that life and refuse to stop the lifestyle.
I am not religious but now that I know better, I have come to understand the difference between right and wrong.
Because I have kept this inside for years, it resulted to me having anger issues that had me stabbed in Nov 2020 and almost losing my life. Luckily, I was spared and a part of me believes it is for this purpose.
Please, good people of Nairaland...I need help because I can no longer let sleeping dogs lie.
The truth weighs heavy inside my heart and is screaming to be let out.
I know my life will be in danger but at this point, death is no longer scary because i have been shown that we are not from Earth.
Justwise
From experience, my background, my type of person, study and exposure. I tend to be able to analyse people. My brother, I sincerely (from your write up), sense you have struggle with your sanity. I am being blunt, sorry. I would have appreciate you tell us the issue that led to your stabbing. This your state of mind might in truth not be unrelated to your activities in the past. But those deeds are done. You are seeking redemption. It's good. But smoking out your family ideally might be good, but in reality, it might work against you eventually. You might after even hate yourself and start feeling suicidal. I hope you will have the capacity to see the truth of things. Avoid your family and their evil activities. Go on with your life and a God. Find redemption from other means. My prayers and sympathy is with you
People don't understand things. If this guy at played for Madrid those time he played for Chelsea, he would have performed. There isn't many people that can play the way he can. The fact is that his body stopped relatively too early. He is ended. He has done what he can (in cheksea). If he comes back to Chelsea, he will also disappoint people. Do you see him perform even for Belgium again? Messi too has gotten to this point. But obviously Messi got here much later. When you start seeing this A players getting recurrent injuries often, that is the point their body can take them to. Hazard is my forever hero. Chelsea will always adore him, but its understandable that Madrid wont. He should try and be grateful for the time he had. His case now is that that can be said that 'the spirit is will, but the body is weak.' Oscar, Owen and Bale are other example of brilliant players that had a short prime period.
We will kick thier ass...because we are the real niggarz of Africa
The good side in this tournament aside Nigeria are Mali (compact but lack bite), cameroun, Morocco, ivory coast and Tunisia. Shikena. We will likely meet just two out of these teams

But they used the back of matchet to hit me on my buttocks though before leaving as the others, so they didn't leave me completely without a reminder.
That said, I was just a guest, all the way from the middle belt to somewhere in the East, and it was my first time ever in that State.
Yes, that one was more shocked he met u there. If u had this detail of you being a guest just now though, it makes your story questionable. Because ur being a stranger is naturally one of those things u would have first told us
jesusjnr2020: An Armed Robbery Experience I Had Moments After A Holy Ghost Church Service
It happened moments after i just returned from a church program, sometime in late 2003. It was most likely carried out by cultists, since it took place in a university campus hostel.
There were six of us (all guys) inside the room. Four of us, choir members, yet in high spirits having just returned from a Holy Ghost power-packed, Spirit-filled service on campus at about 10pm.
We were still trying to absorb everything that had transpired during the powerful service, while also getting set for bed, when out of nowhere, there came in the three guys with gun(s) and machete(s) into the room and one of them switched off the light, while using touch light to be flashing light on our faces carrying out the robbery.
But it was a strange kind of robbery, because after they were through, they had robbed every one inside the room, except me.
And it wasn't as though it was a mistake or that they had forgotten to do so or were in a hurry, it seemed deliberate, because after asking everyone of us to lie down, they had stood us up one by one to rob us, from the first person to the fifth person.
But when it got to my turn, being the sixth and final person, after the guy came to me, and flashed the touch on my face, since it was dark, instead of telling me to stand up and go to show him my things as he had done to the other five persons before me, he just stood up and started walking sheepishly back to where his guys were to my amazement. It was as though he had seen something strange or an angel.
Moreover while yet lying down, i overheard him being asked by one of his guys, who I suppose was their leader, "what of that guy"? His response though was not loud, so I couldn't hear what he said was his reason for doing that, but it seemed to suffice to his fellow guys, as it wasn't long afterwards they left the room.
Probably even more puzzling, was the fact that my black traveling bag, was just about the first thing anyone else would spot in the place the robbers had taken most of the things from, such as, cash, a mobile phone, a perfume jar, a pair of shoes etc., which was the wardrobe.
And inside the side pocket of that bag which was the foremost and most exposed part of that bag, there was some considerable amount of cash. Therefore had they just stumbled on it and decided to open it just one of the times they went there with one of the other five persons to show them their stuff, they would have also robbed me of some cash, because that was the closest money or thing in the wardrobe for them to have made away with.
But for some reason they left all the cash intact and no single thing in my bag was missing, while the other things more difficult to access in that wardrobe were being made away with, apart from my other things without my bag there which they also didn't touch.
So this was not just about me not being stood up by them, because they could have also easily robbed me even without needing me to do that.
As I said earlier, four of us there of the six were all choir members of the same church, and we had just returned from a church service together. And while three of us were guests who came from other parts of the country for the annual church program held within the campus premises, the other one was a student of that school who happened to be our host.
But despite that, when the robbery took place, I was the only one of the four who was separated and treated differently from the rest by the armed robbers.
It was really shocking to say the least, but it wasn't completely surprising to me because it was obvious to me why that was.
Despite that we were all Christians, and some active church members, as those my fellow choir members, i was the only one among them that was really saved and truly of God among them, so that was what was separated me from the rest when it mattered.
God bless.
My brother, one of those guys know you and he had a soft spot for u.
FreeStuffsNG: From Borno?? Same Borno ravaged by Boko Haram?
All you typed up there are the usual beer parlour discussions elevated to social media lies by PDP, IPOB terrorists, bitter bigoted tribesmen, spoilers (hoping that APC is naive enough to square a PYO against a tactical HE Atiku or choose a candidate from SE where APC is weak so APC can lose),naysayers and scaremongers.
Thank God you never mentioned incompetence. Thank God you never doubted the competence of Asiwaju Tinubu. Since 2023 will be about competence, then Asiwaju Tinubu is the best and most qualified to lead Nigeria. Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights. God bless Nigeria forever.
My appeal goes to patriotic Nigerians to please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu. Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights. God bless Nigeria forever. Here's free book on business ideas & money sources directory for you,it's 100% free! https://www.nairaland.com/6666800/looking-business-ideas-money-fund. Cheers.
20023 is not just about competence. That's how we narrowed down Buharis appeal to integrity as if that was enough. Now we know better. 2023 is about who is transparent enough. Who won't divert our money meant to fight terrorism and build railways. 2023 isn't about someone who nobody can check because he has become a mini God. 2023 is about someone that is agile and sound. 2023 is about someone that isn't nepotic. 2023 is about someone that is not tribalistic. 2023 is about someone that has a spouse that won't go haywire because of uncheck ego. 2023 is about someone that is not vindictive. 2023 is about much more. Nigeria, we should not mumu ourselves again. At the end of another 8years of another administration, many that are just fathers now will be grandfathers then.

Wale Tinubu (CEO Oando) is a public figure, Google and check his pictures online. Late Deji was a commissioner in Lagos State, his pictures are online. The trademark of the Tinubus is their eye ball (Oju yobo)
Ok, I will check online. Maybe u should have done a better job by posting pictures that shows the resemblance more, because the picture of that first guy looks like somebody that can't even open his eyes well. That's why I said fear God

Very predictable. I had known this will be your last resort. Daft trying to point out daft...ironic. Just learn to shut up. Stop spewing misinformation. We have too much problems already. Stop presenting yourself as another problem. Read to understand then share accurate knowledge. However, if you do not understand a subject, the least honorable thing u can do is to maintain a closed lips. If a fool do not talk, people might assume he is wise. But he reveals himself when he opens his mouth waaaa
PVision2020: Kperoogi and his tales by moonlight. Tinubu is not only the son of Ahlaja Abibatu Mogaji, he his her replica.
