Ova, I beg to disagree. Such pictures cannot be posted in public space in the UK. Do you also notice that their lying in state does not include showing the corpse but just the casket

No insult meant, This alone says a lot why your life is the way it is. You live life as it comes.

Where’s your passport?

I misplaced it. I declared it missing and the British Government replaced it, but it went missing again. I went back for the passport and I was told that I was careless with the British property and that it wouldn’t be replaced for me.


This cannot be true. The Passport Office will replace your passport as many times as possible once you pay the fees.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Former UK Prime Minister, David Cameron Becomes UK Foreign Secretary by tony9k: 2:48pm On Nov 13, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
Orishirishi.

David Cameron a.k.a Mr Fantastically Corrupt , after he got drunk and misyarned before the late Queen Elizabeth, has been demoted.

After he conducted the fiasco referendum on Brexit and ran away, he is coming back as a Secretary under a far junior politician Rishi Sunak who was about 29 years old when Cameron became the PM.Smh

The case of David Cameron is like that of someone who graduated from the university and comes back years later to have a resit in a sophomore year course.


Shows where politics is regarded as service and an individual is not bigger than an Institution. We should learn from such practices

I think he resigned because UK left the EU or because he let Scotland have a referendum.


Because the UK voted Brexit and he campaigned as a “Remainer”

Foreign Affairs / David Cameron: From Prime Minister To Foreign Secretary by tony9k: 2:44pm On Nov 13, 2023
The appointment, today, of former PM (equivalent to our President) appointed Foreign Secretary (equivalent to our External Affairs Minister) shows a country where politics is regarded as service. In Nigeria it will probably be regarded as demotion and is unlikely to happen. Until the stop people becoming bigger than Office they occupy our politics will not give us the optimum benefit,

All appointments in the Presidency are for the President. Some would be deployed to the Office of the Vice President so their designation will be “Special Adviser to the President (Office of the Vice President)”

What happens to handling him over to the police if at all there's an issue. Why beat someone like this when it's not as if they are your child. This is absurd and painful to watch


So one can beat one's child like this? If anyone beats their child like this they should be charged for child cruelty and the child taken from them.
Education / Re: Naira Devaluation: Nigerian Students Face Tough Times In UK,Tuition Soars By 60% by tony9k: 1:43am On Jul 13, 2023
[quote author=Eriokanmi post=124378304]Hope they didn't say, awa lokan and voted along that line before they left the country. Now I'm beginning to really learn of leadership.

Leadership is divinely orchestrated. You don't struggle for it else, you'd mess things up. Of all the leaders known in this country, only tinubu grabbed power by hook and crook. Even when Buhari was so desperate, he never got it until he willingly surrendered and left the space.

From 1960 to date, none who ruled Nigeria got to power desperately and the history has shown and I'd start from the most recent cos of some indomie generation here.
Buhari was called to lead Nigeria after the successful coup in which he never participated.
Babangida, same. It was obj who said those who participated in the coup should consider IBB for the position. This is a fact not known to many, till now.



Just a few clarifications:

- Abdusalami was the most senior military officer when he became Head of State

- Abacha plotted to be HOS. That was why the clause ‘in the event of resignation of the Head of Interim government,

- Babagibda was involved in all coups till 1986
Politics / Re: Profile Of Henry Dele Alake, President Tinubu's Spokesperson by tony9k: 12:19pm On May 30, 2023
lhordspy:
With due respect to his predecessors. This is not your regular placid or laid-back Femi Adeshina or Garba Shehu, who are only known for dish out defensive reactions and birthday shoutouts. This man, Alake is information manager and 'school-teacher' in one person.

Whenever you hear 'Goodday gentlemen of the press' ... Just know it is Mr. Dele Alake either ready to pass information in a very enthralling, engrossing and convincing manner while maintaining full professionalism.

Or he is getting ready to school intrusive, unprofessional pressmen. The 'busy-body' AriseTV lady who tried to misbehave during one of the then APC PCC press briefing can attest to the fact. Alake had to stop Fani-kayode from engaging in a war of words with the obvious partisan unprofessional journalist. Then he schooled her on ethics of journalism which she and the media house she works for; lack and also gave AriseTV a fair share of their own reprimandation as take-away.


If his antecedents especially during the campaign is anything to go by he will probably be no different from those guys

Family / Re: Is Anything Wrong With Husband & Wife Sleeping In Separate Rooms by tony9k: 6:47pm On Apr 17, 2023
Mr A told his friend, Mr B that he has a separate bedroom from his his wife even though he has a 3 bedroom house. Mr B replied that his house has 4 bedrooms but shares a bedroom with his wife. He wondered how convenient the arrangement is for Mr A wondering how to navigate doing the show. Mr A said it was easy: If he feels like he knocks his wife bedroom door 3 times and the wife comes over. Mr B now asked what happens if it is the wife that wants to do, Mr A said it was also very easy. His wife comes to the bedroom and ask the question 'Did you knock my door 3 times just now?' and he catches the drift.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: What Does It Mean To Be A Teacher In The Uk? by tony9k: 10:05am On Dec 27, 2022
I saw his post on a whatshap forum last week and sent it to a friend who has been a teacher in the UK including the town under reference (Luton) for over ten years. The first thing he said is that the mode of enforcement of discipline for students in the Uk is completely different from Africa so any african in the UK will regards the discipline as lax. The treatment of children and young people is also different, An example he said is that corporal punishment (flogging) in african schools is basically abuse (child abuse) which africans (including some children) regard as right.

Apart from that Luton town schools generally are regarded as below average in terms of behaviour in the UK. A town close by - Harpenden - has 3 schools which are state schools where their behaviour is exemplary. In any school, especially the poorly behaved ones the critical issue is their behaviour management policy so if children are disruptive - throwing chairs making unnecessary noise etc they are warned and after 3 warnings are taken out of the class so others can learn. In each class there are a minority of students who are regularly disruptive and they can be sanctioned if persistent - from staying behind after school for 1 hour (detention) to exclusion for a few days to permanent exclusion.

It should also be noted that the attitude to teachers posted to schools temporarily (Supply Teacher) is different from a permanent teacher as students are more disruptive if the teacher is Supply. The narration appear as an exaggeration both from the behaviour of students (calling a teacher idiot and the racist language) and the authorities (the school will not condone such behaviour);

Like in the outside society you cannot touch anybody without permission so the sanctions approved is detention (staying behind during break, lunch or after school depending on the severity of the offence,

The poorly behaved students are a minority and the key issue is how the school authorities manages them

The telegraph of London has reported that the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to run for Office again (he has to resign on Tuesday 6th september) but only after he has made money in the private sector. Are african (nay Nigerian) politicians watching how politics should be played.

Since there is no money to be made as PM he would make his money outside. hopefully we would get here on day

Crime / Re: Peter Nielsen To Die By Hanging For Killing Nigerian Wife, Daughter by tony9k: 9:28pm On May 20, 2022
AbdulHakeem44:

Bro, they won't kill him. When last did u hear of people being executed despite being court judgement of execution on them?

When court pass execution verdict like this, it requires a sitting governor to sign it, no governor in Nigeria had sign death execution since many years now in Nigeria.

A case if a guy who killed his girlfriend, the daughter of former deputy governor of ondo state is still alive

Evans is still alive,

A lady from one northern state who kilkerpd her husband because he wants to take a new wife is still alive

Kano musician accused of blasphemy last year or two years ago despite appeal court judgement to execute him is still alive.

This Danish man will survive it, all he need is a lawyer that will file an appeal and drag the case till eternity. Even if supreme court give such ruling, no sitting governor will sign it.

I remember Ganduje (kano state governor) saying the reason no governor wants to sign death warrant na because dem no sure in reality if the person commit the crime or not. I read this on nairaland here.

Danish man is in safe hand, no governor dey sign am again, the reason I guess is fairly obvious, USA might revoke their visa if they do cos USA wants democratic countries to abolish death sentence. Na why the cop way kill the black man for America that led to black lives matter still dey orison be that. USA has abolished death sentence and they are trying to force it down democratic countries too.



Some states in the US like Texas have the death penalty in heir books and they still execute convicts

Education / Re: Federal Polytechnic, Oko Rag Day In Pictures by tony9k: 5:42am On Mar 06, 2021
meobizy:
Lol. Fun pictures. Nairalanders as usual are ignorant and asking for the essence of the ritual. Back in school we never had rag day until a good population of ex federal school students introduced the activity. For the unlearned; rag day is a special day taken out of the school year where students dress crazy to raise either personal or departmental funds. I knew this regardless of never participating plus missing my only chance to do so. I visited my favorite drinking spot once and saw two students perched outside raising funds. As a fully functioning adult I played my part in helping their ministry.



I beg your pardon. Rag day was never meant to raise money for personal funds. The original concept was for higher institutions to raise money for charity and was organized by the Students union. However like other things in Nigeria corruption took over. The idea of dressing in rags was to associate with real beggars who may not be able to afford decent clothes.

As earlier stated corruption took over and students stated to divert the funds raised. Some students simply made their own collection tins and pocketed all the proceeds. Others took the official one and simply removed the big denominations. In one year a school collected a significantly more than previous years because the tins were submitted at the gate (before some students could bet to their rooms to take out the big notes, It got to a situation whereby a school demanded that students pay for the tins before collection as that last the last seen of some students. This situation depicts the challenge Nigeria has with corruption at all levels and we have a long way to go. Suffice to say that this condemnable act is not a recent phenomenon,

I know rape is bad, but the way these women classify rape is like is the greatest of all sin, even higher than that of murder. A rape victim gets more attention than a murder case, most of these women exaggerate the situation just to trend. You touch babe booby she starts crying "I was molested" same girl having anal sex with one dude.


You don't seem to get it, The fact that a girl has anal with someone doesn't mean that she can't be raped by another. Seek for knowledge of what rape and sexual harassment is.

Ministry of Education in the Panel and their contributions throughout the sittings especially the hounding of witnesses who came to testify against the Vice-Chancellor was enough to show very clearly that the technocrats in the Ministry had a defined agenda. Their obvious agenda was to humiliate the Governing Council.



I didn't follow the proceedings but if this is correct then there appears to be a hidden agenda. Frankly the decision on the Visitor through the FME was an indirect indictment of the Pro Chancellor. And Babalakin said he was going the job without any remuneration. I am of the opinion that the VC is guilty as charged from all the information in public domain but he appears to know how to survive the nigerian way
