Is that not Udor Daniel on the 3rd picture?
So this guy na yahoo boy? Have always said it. He's the chairman of Igbo spare part trader in Ikorodu.


Igbos and crime sha

Did you not see names of other regions as well

Very sad indeed

I agree with Reno, but that is not the only reason behind Imo’s crisis.

Till today, the North is still avenging the killing of Balewa and Ahmadu Bello.

My yoruba people, stop replying this fool, he is just one of nnamidi cownu slave and biafravd pig from land of dying sun, anytime you see this type of senseless post, just know that it is from ndi potopoto people

Ondo states has the longest coast line in all of Nigeria .
Wow we would fulfill its untapped potential when we Yoruba's form our nation.

Eyin Omo karo ojire Oduduwa agbe wa o.

God bless you!

Only when Yoruba forms its nation would it look inward to tap the
great potentials of Ondo state. The state is a goldmine!!

You can imagine if someone like Fashola is Yoruba President, the kind of
foundational roadmap he’ll put in place.

Yorubaland is truly blessed

Araromi beach, Ondo state. Shares same coastline with Lagos (1 hour by boat).

Ex Governor Rauf Aregbesola transformed Osun state in his eight year tenure.

As you can see from the thread, Yorubas are very much capable of modern day development.

Thanks for that link. Wow! The Governor really tried

The handwork of aregbe you against.

I agree.

If this is true, the BBC will definitely report it. I just checked and they are not.

Good mooooooriiiing ma

Thanks for the clip.

This is all just PR; he's just being more a competent press-savvy politician. 
We all know presidential orders are not the way to get sustainable change.

Seun,

How is he being competent and press savvy by making statements/orders that will not
end up addressing the root of the problem ? GEJ should have consulted with his economic advisers
first to have a background knowledge of the factors driving the high cost of kerosene.  

A leader makes an order while the problem remains and/or leads to other problems
at the end of the day. How does this translate to being savvy and competent ?

Kobojunkie:
What right leadership? We said the same thing the last time we added more schools, and guess what? We are today watching those very schools go to the dogs while we are still waiting for the “RIGHT LEADERSHIP”. In my opinion, we are likely not to get that anytime soon [/b]so it is best we start now accepting the fact that we need to start taking our own future more seriously rather than continuing to put it in the hands of the same old lunatics.

So what you are proposing is that we should do away with govt building more universities and leave
it completely in the hands of the private sector.

I disagree with you; I think we should have both co-exist. The private and govt schools
can compete with each other and private schools will be put in check with their exorbitant
fees.

Kobojunkie:
[b]Building of 6 schools will not put a dent in the problem -- so, it is now a good idea to get the private involved. We are working on this to help solve the power sector. I believe we should pursue similar strategy in solving the problems we have in the education sector.

Haba! how can the building of 6 new schools not put a dent in the problem  Come on now

it will not completely solve the problem, no doubt, but more students will gain admission.

Kobojunkie:
How many federal universities do you know of in the US, that you are comparing us to? We have so many more federal schools than the US can consider to (with a population over 2 times ours) have(referring more to the military academies since they are the closest I know to federal schools here in the US).  Seriously, how many Federal universities do you know of in the united states?

Govt universities in the U.S. operate at the state level, not federal level and some of the
great univs in the U.S. are govt owned (e.g. UC Berkeley, U Wisconsin-Madison, Penn State).

Kobojunkie:
Again, what we need is our government working with private entities to create more private institutions so as to carry much of the load. We have tried having sound public universities but in the last 30 years, we have watched our government allow them decay and the standard of education plummet significantly. I don’t know why we are still preaching in vanity when the signs are all around us that it is likely best for us now to start looking for alternative ways of tackling this problem which is right now working against our nations future at an alarming rate.

The problem is bad, no doubt, but there are still good students coming out of the system.

Please see this link :

http://www.ajfand.net/Issue33/Issue33profile.htm#Kabir

It profiles a Ph.D holder from University of Ibadan (received in 2007) being highly recognized by
an international organization.

There are also tons of students coming from these schools with baccalaureate degrees going on
to pursue graduate studies in the UK, US, Canada etc and excel. Some of them are here on
this Nairaland as I type sef.

Kobojunkie:
b) The suggestion is not to use just those but to upgrade the existing schools [/b]and at the same time look more into having more private universities than our government embarking on building more of the same traps it has shown itself incapable of maintaining in the past.

I get your point.

What I am trying to make you understand is that, [b]the upgrading of our existing schools will
not address the yearnings of 1 million candidates that can't get admitted yearly.

In addition to having more private universities, building 6 more federal universities will
not hurt. With the right leadership in place, the issue of univs becoming traps will
be a thing of the past.

We should not have a situation where most universities are going to be strictly privately
owned, else, the prices will shoot sky to the roof beyond the reach of many Nigerians

I think we should have both public and private univs co-exist as it obtains like countries
as the U.S.

Sound Public universities = Check and balances for private universities

hope you get my point

Have we ever wonder who teaches a spider to make a web and how complex a web is?,the motives,efforts and skills put in by a spider to make wed,oh,some will say god.

Hahaha dude you are too much

Kobojunkie:
Correction – it has ALWAYS been about leadership so NO, it is no excuse to try again what we have IRON CLAD evidence is not a good idea.

The standards and infrastructure at those schools have been left to decay for the past 20 or more years. Why are you singing songs of PAST glories when your house is burning? What year did the nobel laureates graduates? Are you now telling us that we should ignore what has become the reality of those schools today because some students who graduated over 30 years ago went on to earn nobel prizes? What is this?

We can live on Ifs for the rest of our lives or we can from now, start doing things right for our own selves. Mind you, the Nigeria people, children are the ones who continue to get the short end of the stick in all this.

What you fail to understand is, no matter how much the current decayed infrastructure is upgraded, it cannot
cater to the demand for higher university education.

These schools you are referring to, what was Nigeria's population when they were built ?  What is Nigeria's
population now ?

You can't use the same number of universities to cater to when Nigeria had 60 million people
and expect to use them now that the country has around 130 million people.

No matter how well the universities are kept, more schools just have to be built.

And again, it boils down to the leadership. If GEJ has the will, he can build these 6 new
schools successfully.

Kobojunkie:
I am not against building of new schools, and I believe I made this clear in my last post

Good. I am glad we are on the same page on this

Kobojunkie:
why do we have to have the same Government that has allowed hundreds of our schools decay to point that students in many areas study under trees to handle this? Why are we having the same government that has failed in improving the standards and quality of already existing schools, work on this?

It is all about leadership. If we have the right leadership in place, it can be done.

If a Nigerian govt can build schools like Nsukka, Ife, Ibadan etc that have produced a nobel prize
laureate, then why can't they do this?

Kobojunkie:
If what we want is to increase available seats for students, we can always revamp what we already have to provide for the increase. But what we need now, and not later is for much of what we have to be poured into improving quality since our future depends on it.


https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-556817.32.html

It is true that we need to revamp the unis we currently have. Bear in mind that the ones we have were built to cater to a certain number of students. They can't  be stretched any further.

Imagine, out of 1.3 million JAMB candidates, only 300,00 can be admitted.  We need more universities in that country.

I have learned a lot from this thread. Please keep it up people.

I want to make a comment :-

I think it was right for the AG to dismiss Akintola from
the party for anti-party activities. Also, Tafawa Balewa played a big role in the crises in the
west by siding with Akintola.

Balewa should have let the party (AG) determine the western premier after Akintola's
ouster (or have new elections conducted) rather than wielding his federal power as prime minister
and siding with Akintola. Abuse of power by Balewa played a big role in the crises
that ensued in the west in the early '60s.

It seems Akintola just wanted to hold on to power at all cost. It seems he did away
with any principle he had in exchange for holding on to power. Nevertheless, he accomplished
a lot for the west during his tenure.

Mariory summarizes his mind set here:

[size=15pt]I think this all stems from the fact that recently some folks have been posting stories of development success in Lagos.

There are a number of very insecure people out there who don't like this[/size].
