From the link you posted I picked this.

The cut-off mark should be uniform, the same way the JAMB cut-off mark is.

Jamb is uniform, so is WAEC also.
I don't know anything about unity skul or no unity skul.
I went to private skul

zeuss:
Yoruba is rated lower than Igbo in performance by the federal government. That is why Igbo have to make higher cutoff mark in common entrance exams and jamb to qualify for the same opportunities. Please don't argue blindly, use Google to check cutoff mark per state by ministry of education. Igbos are the best so the are subjected to higher standards.

Jamb and WAEC don't have various cut off mark. Get informed.
You pass jamb, you pass jamb you fail WAEC, you failed WAEC.
No skull is considered quota measurement in southwest

owobokiri:
That should tell you that Isreal must have known about the Hamas attack but decided to let it happen since that will give them a good excuse to do what they are doing now; eliminate Hamas. Most people who should know, including Charlie Kirk, have insisted that Isreal moat probably "stood down" military actions during the "Hamas Attack".

If you really think that Isreal was taken unawares, you are joking. They had the army in thousands near Hamas territories, they had their informants all over Gaza and the West Bank, they basically control communications in those two areas too.

The socalled "Hamas attack" might have been a MOSSAD job to instigate worldwide anti Hamas/Palestinian sentiments, as a prelude to using the Isreali military to "wash off" any Palestinian presence in Gaza and the West Bank. The Isreali dead being "collaterals"...

Why would Palestinians play into such trap?
Hamas have done more harm than good to Palestine

Zionmdde:
They keep borrowing
No accountability
Nobody is saying anything
With all the subsidy removal and more monies to politicians. Nigerians are being heavily taxed, providing most social amenities for themselves, no good roads, dilapidated schools, no good drainage, nothing nothing

Let me ask again, what exactly are we benefitting from the state government

Fixed. The news is about how state government are mortgaging people's future

PepeXKermit:
Simi would have mever broken outside nogerian market. Her sound was too local. Just like how olamide or yemi alade is. Theyl just comtinue to be within a threshold..

Somebody ask what about asake 😂. When asake went international with local music.
Even me sef shock

AntiisIam1:
doffman and the rest

Your Quran said

Ala-Maududi
(19:33) Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive.

This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the sign to which the angel referred in (Surah Maryam, Ayat 21). As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah.



If your Quran could testified to the fact that your Isa is alive, who are you to be doubting the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ

Why are you guys spamming a Muslim thread. Is that what your Bible teaches?

jidemosaic:
Can we connect? I'm on the same track but dealing with Linux sys admin first via an udemy course

Is there always need to connect . I don't know o, I'm just saying.
But you're on the right track

mikeapollo:
So with all what you typed, where does it tell you that places like Bethlehem, Hebron, Beersheba, Jerusalem etc belong to the so called Palestinians?

Common sense. The first settlers own the land. So two state solution is the best answer to the ongoing crises

Kukutente23:
This is a giant lie. The land of the Canaanites is presently inhabited by Arabs and not Canaanites. In case you don't know your history, the Arab Muslims led by the Rashiduns invaded Palestine including Israel and Judah and imposed Islam on the inhabitants killing those who refused to bow to Islam. This led to most Jews fleeing from their homeland to escape the murderous religionists.
So the original Canaanites are an extinct tribe. What you have today are Arabs posing as Palestinians. Are you saying Yaya Sinwar and Haniyeh are Canaanites?

You must be joke.
Even the Israel were still left on the land.
The majority who went exile came back to meet with the few still on the land.
The story of extinction was invented by land grabbers to prove a point.

Kukutente23:
Occupation of Palestinian lands?
Who is a Palestinian if I may ask? When did an Arab become Palestinian?
Maybe you should go and read your history very well to know who the land originally belongs to and who invaded the land under the pretext of a Muslim conquest.
Let me bring it home to you. Kano has a Fulani Emir today. Who does Kano belong to historically? Hausa or Fulani?

They've been there before Israel established their kingdom. Forget about all the lies you hear.
Intermarriage happens in all nation does not mean they're not the descendant of ancient philistine.
The two state solution recognise the fact that they were the earliest settlers.

The complex demographic history of Palestine has been influenced by several historical occurrences and migrations. The region was home to diverse ethnic groups and populations over centuries. During the Bronze Age, the region of Palestine was mainly inhabited by Canaanites, who mainly established themselves in fortified cities, as well as various Semitic nomadic groups such as the Shasu.[49][50][51][52][53] Following the Late Bronze Age collapse c. 1200–1150 BC, and the consequent advent of the Iron Age, the Israelites emerged in the central highlands establishing settlements throughout the country, founding the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, while the Philistines settled along the coastal strip of what became known as the Philistine pentapolis.[54][55] The Israelite kingdoms came to an abrupt end under the Assyrians and the Babylonians, and the period of Babylonian exile set in until the exilic return during the Persian period.

mikeapollo:
The frigate would not do shit if Israel does not want it or did not permit it! It can never enter Gaza without Israel's permission.
Gaza is a war zone right now and nobody can just enter the place without permission from Israel, not even Russia, China, Italy, France, UK Canada and the rest.

The Romans already warned Isreal. History should not repeat itself.
You remember the Roman Empire

okomile:
Sad

If u don't know how to swim, dont ever enter pool or beach

It's dangerous

RIP

I know how to swim but beach no be my mate lol 🤣

Jennyclay:
Chioma is really lucky to have Davido because OBO is a giver and a kind man

Once you make your woman happy, even you as a man will be happy. It's a simple logic.

Men always Keep making your women happy.

Yeah I reason with you.

Let's make our mothers happy. They're the woman that nurtured us to this stage.

jmoore:
Someboby should tell the op that hundreds of millions of Nigerians don't live in Lagos.

Secondly, in his propaganda, I didn't see him saying that drivers used the Lagos coastal road and ended up in Calabar.

The major opposition to the road was the whole road, that is Lagos to Calabar.

The major opposition to the road are the people the road did not pass through their corridor

bukatyne:
The OP is obviously pushing an agenda.

On this matter you're the one looking for agenda. Because people in the traffic already said the traffic started before Dangote truck. So not everyone saw the Dangote truck.
But you're looking for agenda to support

SmartPolician:
Oga, Lagos, Abuja and PH are the most properous parts of the country today because the federal government invested in those places more than other parts of the country. Development is a collective endeavour.

How much do governors get compared to what the FG get? Just before you reply to this message, make sure you know the revenue sharing formula of your country.

I don't know if Seun or Fergie can move this comment to the joke section.
Abuja is the capital and completely receive federal government funding.
Besides no state in Nigeria is developed. Porth Harcourt is just a state with potential soaked in massive corruption.
Lagos State, Enugu State and some few other state are the only working state in Nigeria.

oz4real83:
not everything or opinion is from opposition. Let me use myself for instance, no federal road in Edo State is motorable, the bypass is even worse. Instead of hearing that the federal govt has awarded the contracts to do them, I suddenly hear the FG has borrowed money to do a coastal road, how will you expect me to respond to such news? Even when it is a good project, when there are lots of abandoned and dilapidated old roads all over the country not receiving any attention, especially my state? We should learn to be objective, not everything is opposition or political.

The thing is people don't learn to survive in this country.
That is why Ogun State has tremendous bad road unlike Lagos State.
When Lagos State is lobby to repair federal roads that are critical to economic activities of the state.
Other state were there waiting for federal government to fix the road. Other states like Ogun State.

SmartPolician:
Yes, I criticised it and argued that the money be invested in power, but what did my criticism change? Did my criticism stop Escobar from building it?

Now that Escobar has built it, does it mean that people shouldn't use it? I didn't even say I used it and one l@ptop boy is already on my case.

As for the nonsense you wrote about, that's not the topic here. The discussion is about the Coastal road which is clearly a federal project.

It will be nonsense to you because that is how people fail to hold their government responsible in their various state.
Coastal road is from Lagos to Calabar but you're talking about federal government developing other state.
Does Lagos Map extends to Calabar on your own geography?
So jealous about Lagos that you have to input that unnecessary nonsense.
So I had to remind you how other governors killed development on their state.
When I tag sanwo on X, days later I see government talking about what I tagged them on. Can others say the same for their governors?
Stop the jealous statement about Lagos. State government developed Lagos mostly, and we the natives are not happy with congestion.

SmartPolician:
It was later opened in the evening of yesterday. I know someone who used it to avoid the Lekki holdup and "burst out" at Ikate. That's how she was able to get home to Ajah at 11pm yesterday. She left her office at 8pm.

Lagos is FULL! I don't know why the FG is not intentional about developing other cities to decongest Lagos. Better still, Lagos State should start running a 24/7 economy like other advanced cities. Everyone must not be going to work and going home at the same time.

You should cover your face bro.
After criticizing coastal road. This is what you have to say.
So other state don't have a governor with thinking cap when Lagos completed two metro and they left theirs at MoU stage, the other one siphon state tax payers money through monorail when his successor continue siphoning through properties abroad

tensazangetsu20:
Yes. If you are earning 10 million in Nigeria, you can definitely make 3 times more abroad especially in tech.

I do feel like it is about earning ×3 alone. What about the taxes and expenses abroad.

So?


What about copying the Kenya's minimum wages first?

Ofunaofu:
Wike is a known crîmînál and a drûñkàrd enabled by Tinubu

During all these times. Some people hating him now actually loved him.
Because he was PDP. They only hate him now because he's affiliated with Tinubu and what he did to favour Tinubu in the past election.
Not like because they want to stand with what is right

tensazangetsu20:
I usually don’t comment on posts like this, but for posterity’s sake, I’ll say this once more:

If you’re a Nigerian and you’re privileged to have supportive parents, access to a laptop, internet, and electricity, and you don’t have to worry about food you don’t realize how much God has done for you. Take it extremely seriously.

It doesn’t matter how you start. I began with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Today, I work with financial systems, and I recently got a job that allows me to use Objective-C, Java, AWS, and Heroku. Tech has opened doors for me I never imagined, and I’m still just getting started. My next goal is to transition into AI engineering or integrate AI into my current work as a programmer.

Don’t let negativity on the internet discourage you. Just the other day, a few fresh Unilag graduates landed top jobs with major firms in the UK. Personally, I left Nigeria for Chile, and even as a student, I was working with the biggest bank in the entire country.

If you’ve been given the privilege of the right environment and tools, don’t take it for granted. Tech can change your life. it changed mine.

I want to get this idea of moving overseas. Do you advice someone in this tech field earning close to ₦10m monthly to move abroad?
I see guys who earn ₦5m monthly still traveling out for better opportunities.
Does it worth it?

dederocs:
If you know you know

Yeah we know. US left Afghanistan. And Ukraine is still at war.
What else is new?

shegoon:
Your judgement is full of bias! Are all Palestinian terrorist? I'm glad you mentioned Boko Haram in Nigeria,did this translate to all Borno state residence terrorist.Just because you have been brainwashed by religion sentiments,you didn't not see anything wrong in Israel killing innocent women and children,are those innocent children also terrorist?

Don't mind that guy. He actually celebrated the killing of Christians in Palestine also.

Botragelad:
This is both ridiculous and disgusting. Israel decides what happens, and if these countries are so determined to recognize a made-up place, there’s plenty of land in Europe or even parts of North America where they can set up a “Palestine.”

No rational person should ever reward terrorists with a state. If that’s the standard, then anyone could just invade a country, slaughter thousands, cry “genocide,” and expect to be given a state in return. By that logic, should we start rewarding Boko Haram, ISIS, and every other terror group just because they claim to be fighting for some ideology?

At the end of the day, this so-called recognition is meaningless. The dismantling will continue, and Israel will do whatever it takes to protect the people of Yisrael.

With this your logic. We should kill the whole northerners because of Boko boys and bandit?

seunmsg:
This quit claim deed has nothing to do with Wike. The property in question belongs to Wike’s wife and this deed was done since 2021 before Wike became FCT Minister. The wife is a judge and I’m sure she can explain how she bought the house in question in 2010.

Again, this deed is a Public record and nothing done in secret. In 2022, the Pandora Papers revealed that Peter Obi laundered billions of dollars and kept them in the name of his under age daughter in British tax haven. Peter Obi did not declare the assets he’s hiding in Asset declaration. That to me is a bigger issue than this witch-hunt effort to link a property owned by Wike’s wife since 2010 to Wike’s term as FCT minister.

They are all big issues. They are all corrupt politicians using proxy to siphon public funds.

ironheart:
Dont forget soome state who did repairs on federal roads took years to recover there money back from the federal government. I just wish all roads in Nigeria can be handed over to each state

Is that the goal of repairing federal road? The goal is to improve economic activities in the state involved.

Kalulu44:
So in my assertion you only saw 2027 but skip where I said or 2031.
If my memory serves me right. I'm born, brought up and still reside in Lagos.
Orile to Badagry expressway that houses where demolished in 2009 during Fashola tenure for a new improved highway.
This is almost 16yrs, and they haven't passed Okoko. Even the ones done from Orile to mile2 to Alakija to Trade fair is worning and phasing out already.
.
So tell me, a project of that magnitude within Lagos that hasn't been completed for close to 20yrs. Is it the one from Lagos to Calabar that will be completed in 8yrs.
God keeping us alive, we are here to witness it

The road was abandoned several times during the Fashola era. That's my route, and Fashola complained of funding.
He clearly said the federal government were not supportive back then.
It was Goodluck that was the president then.
Ambode came and had more revenue but abandoned the project totally for good four years before sanwo-olu came and completed most part of it.
What is need on that road is maintenance and completion of the metro line.
Nigerians dumping refuse on the road need to be jailed

Kalulu44:
Can you swear with your balls that this road will be completed before Tinubu leaves office wether 2027 or 2031

as a lagosian most important thing is Lagos section should be completed by this time next year.
Ondo to Calabar should hold federal government by their balls if not...

Penguin2:
Where are the contractors? The ocean?

Cuz you can’t say contractor mobilized to site and no single caterpillar in sight.

All you need to do is pass through the East-West and Benin-Ore Expressways to understand why people like Peter Obi and every other reasonable Nigerian opposed the idea of the Lagos-Calabar Highway 🛣.

Because the reasonable thing would have been to fix our existing roads before embarking on a humongous new one in the magnitude of the Lagos-Calabar highway.

But we seem to have a lot of unthinking humans as our leaders and their supporters.

The last time I passed that road, some weeks ago. I saw some construction going on the road which caused holdup.
So I'm not sure, it seems it's under construction
