A well-crafted timely piece! The marriage institution in the world today is sick firstly because men left their responsibilities and assume their roles is just to finance the family while women follow the trend by fighting supremacy battle with their already irresponsible husbands and thus, children see the confusions and became authority to themselves. Let everyone take their roles in the home and we won't need to be looking for some inconsistent political correctness to set our families for us. There's nothing that warms a heart than leaving home/school everyday to a home where you'll feel safe, secure, confident and welcomed. Sadly, we're losing that everyday.

Sincerely speaking, one of the ways indigenous languages have been cheated is a constitution written in English without a corresponding translations into individual languages. There's no way you'd better understand a language that is not your mother-tongue and as much as Nigerians like priding themselves as users of English language, we're still L2 users. I'd even appreciate it if we have the entire constitution translated into indigenous languages.

I pulled the article from https://www.modernghana.com/news/984560/universities-as-mini-project-centers-for-communiti.html

I appreciate your honesty. Moreover, I hope you'll remember the inspiration given by that writeup when you get to power. I don't know why I feel like you'll be in power somewhere someday.

GideonIdaboh:
So, which city has better electricity supply; Lagos, Sango, or Ibadan? What's your take on Sagamu or Abeokuta?

There are some parts of Ibadan that enjoys electricity supply e.g Challenge, Felele, Oluyole Estate and so many others. I've not really stayed in Lagos but I know electricity supply depends on the environment too same thing as Sagamu.

Before commenting at all, ensure you won't live below the expectations of at least 50% of what you wrote there if you become a VC or a politician in the future.

Now to my comment. My first few months in the campus of a university got me asking myself why the outside world can't model the university's orderliness and well planned structured in the town. However, I was to discover that the town and the gown are the same thing. The good physical planning I saw was a kudos to the colonialists. The gown is after making money, individual wealth instead of working to solve societal problems.

It's either Ogun or Oyo State. There are some parts of Ogun States very close to Lagos like Sango and others. I don't know much about traffic there but I can tell you about the traffic in Ibadan. It's on the rise but not as frustrating as that of Lagos and tbh, both Oyo and Ogun States are relatively peaceful for now. However, you may consider other factors like children's education, the kind of accommodation, electricity supply etc. I think these should guide you.

Seriously I respect NK and his IPOB gangs for not resorting to terrorism. They have many causes to do so and they have the long legs to support it. But they would have been on the wrong side of the populace.
Just imagine the helpless Nigerian Army blocking NK's residence all because they're facing unarmed citizens. Meanwhile, the real enemies of Nigeria are being released back into the society because they've 'repented!

Thanks so much for the advice. Actually, it's not one of the things I should worry myself about. Val's day is just like any other day.

NGpatriot:
lol...Typical. No sense at all.

The best thing to do when you come across posts that have 'no sense' is to just ignore. That shows that you're the opposite of what you're talking about. Nigerian government is bad but Nigerian populace are quick to insult anyone who says what they don't reason with. You see why Nigeria is the way it is?

CAPSLOCKED:
I'M HERE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS STRUCTURE EXISTED BEFORE ADAM AND EVE.... APPARENTLY MADE BY "FARMERS" WHO CREATED THEMSELVES AND EXISTED BEFORE YAHWEH CREATED THE EARTH.

sKeLeTuN!!

There's a lot of things we do know, there's a lot of things we don't know. The things we know will fade the ones we don't know and until we know the things we don't know, we will never know that we don't know them. Hence, don't be carried away by the ones you know, there's still a lot more you don't know.

You can say that about pretty much every state in Nigeria.

How does building stadiums in the Yeast help the poor, illiterate Yeebos?

How does okada ban help the poor in Lagos?

How do statues in imo prevent poverty?

Speaking objectively, let's criticise any governor that embark on projects which are not need-based and it doesn't matter what part of the country they come from or their political affiliation. The more we keep seeing their works as a kind of charity, the more we'll praise them for the wrong thing, the more they'll feel like they are gods. The Nigerian state at this time doesn't need politicians who will just embark on projects to please the people, it needs executives, planners, policymakers who will make need-based policies and project that'll have the most direct impact on the citizenry. If a governor is not getting to that level, let him be criticised and their is no hiding under flyovers and roads like the president is hiding under 2nd Niger bridge and Lagos-Ibadan railway while the nation boils in insecurity and unemployment.

IranianSea:
You're the most stupid one. What's the essence of those flyovers when there is no job most people in there living in adjectively poverty. Government at all state level should shift attention to the creation of jobs no bridge, flyovers and all that shit. Come to think of it if the money was spent on creating jobs, wouldn't you too go to kano to work? But now that it's flyovers, what people of West stand to benefit? You don't have any sense In you boy

You need to ring this in their ears more and more. One problem we Nigeria's populace may have is in the unnecessary blowing of trumpets for this governors. Are flyovers the most viable need-based project for a state teeming with high poverty rate, illiteracy and lack of employment. Just as the president thinks that infrastructure without employment, security, power and w business friendly environment can built Nigeria, people like Ganduje keep building flyovers inside poverty and illiteracy and because the flyovers they build will shield the millions of dollars of kickbacks they've received from the project. We now say one bad leader is better than another bad leader. It doesn't matter what kind of thief a thief is, a thief is a thief and we should stop celebrating these non-thinking thieves.

OBku4:
Nice advice there! For me, all my drive is to make me a lot of money legally. ce fini

Then you should start calculating how much is the 'lot of money' you intend to make and how best to get it in a set time.

Chukwurah003:
He is a fellow of British computer society and also a graduate of digital transformation from Harvard. He also did courses in Cambridge and MIT. He is no ordinary Minister.

Imagine technocrats like him in the other ministries. No wonder you hear him talk about Windows 7, OSes, viruses and so on which are too basic. But the former minister-lawyer was busy trying to restrict social media access

Immediately I saw 'the babe with big behind', I know the Op is not one serious dude that really needs to be advised. He's motivated and moved by 'behinds'. I pray you won't die from 'behinds' sha

Someone up there mentioned that the first question to ask yourself is 'what do you want to achieve in life...'
I think you should move from there. Do you want to be an engineer or you just want to work with your degree? Do you have passions for some other things aside engineering? If you have all the resources you need in the world today, where do you see yourself in 5-20 years? I think your answers to these questions WILL GIVE YOU A CLUE.
But honestly, whatever you plan to do, be prepared to sweat and stay in the mud to get it done. As long as you're ready to get dirty to achieve your goal (and I don't mean doing dirty things), you'll get there.
However, you have a long way to go if you've not found a sense of purpose, a motive that drives you to get the 2:1 honours the university is conferring on you.

Nigerian ministers rarely give precautionary advice on digital matters like this. Kudos for this one. You can however receive knocks for other mistakes.

Minor impregnates minor,so what happens to the impregnater and impregnatee?

The impregnater becomes a father while the impregnatee becomes a mother.

clarocuzioo:
Stop saying thrash, that shows your low IQ, go and see my post on the first page, I called out the disgrace of a governor, but for dummies like you turning it into a useless tribal thing shows how irresponsible you are.

Stop being a tribal bigot, let us all fix Nigeria.

'Let us all fix Nigeria.' I like that. Nigeria especially southerners have found themselves packed inside the same bus. The sensible thing to do is to fix it and stop looking for the guilty tribe.

Professorcplus:
My apology.

Accepted!

[quote author=Professorcplus post=86339076][/quote]You could have done that in your mind you know. You'd have shown more honor that way.

CAPSLOCKED:

WONDERS SHALL NEVER END!!!

Of course...it's nice you didn't resort to insult though. I was expecting you to tow that line. (Though I'd have done nothing if you did)

CAPSLOCKED:
GIVE 2 EXAMPLES OF UNCONQUERABLE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH STRICTLY PRAYERS.

I'm not going to do that. If I do and even if you agree I've made a point; then I'd have ended up making a point and that'll be all. Whatever I've typed, it's either you agree or you don't and your option doesn't stop making you you.

CAPSLOCKED:
SO WHEN I PRAY, GOLD AND DINOSAURS WILL FALL FROM THE SKIES?

People don't pray for 'gold and dinosaurs' to fall from the skies. People pray when all else have failed. A lot of the people you see praying didn't learn to pray because they want to pass time or shift responsibility (some do that though). People pray because prayers have solved problem that looked unconquerable.

CAPSLOCKED:
WHY ARE THEY PROTESTING INSTEAD OF PRAYING?

AFTER THIS, WHOEVER STILL BELIEVES THAT PRAYERS WORK SHOULD HAVE THEIR BRAINS EXAMINED.

I think you in particular need to tell me somewhere to examine my brain cos I believe prayers really work. One day, you'll have no other option than to pray, I hope that day will make you discover what prayer really is.

SmartMen:
They are talking security concern, terrorism, this one is talking brain leaks abi gutter sef... hand never meet you.

You don't understand how the two go together? You think geniuses will stay in a country where there is security deficiencies?
It doesn't even matter what you think. I appreciate your contribution.

For one thing, I support this ban and if our government is really serious about Nigeria, the priority now shouldn't be about stopping the ban but stopping the brain drain that's sucking Nigeria dry. But how can they stop brain drain when they are not ready to embark on revolutionary ideas that'll change the tide of Nigeria. Do you think anyone in his right sense will a country where he feels at home to another place where he doesn't except if his home is not on fire? Nigeria is on fire presently and if it's not stopped, I guess other countries should join in the ban.

DaBullIT:
Please its our entitlement



How can you say FG should not revamp our states? We have governors they are sons of the soil, if they like, they shouldn't develop the state, if our governors like them them loot our future, we don't care


As long as fulani is getting ruga and boko haram is getting reabsorbed into the army, FG owes us rehabilitation





That's the mind of average drug head LiePodians


Like I previously wrote


Let them take note of that figure

100 Billion naira to revamp fishing terminals

I think he has a point and it's not about Akwa-Ibom. It's about every state in Nigeria. You yourself said that we have governors who are sons of the soil. If those 'sons of the soil' governors were to be the ones to develop their states, they'd know the areas (which are hidden to the FG) that can boost the economy of their state. That's what a federal system does. The fault is not Buhari's, it's not any governor's, it's the system and it's our faults if we don't pressure our legislatures especially to work on changing that system for good. Our growth will continue to suffer impairment until we're decentralized economically.

See why democracy allows frauds? You vote for people sometimes on party basis then they cross carpet to another party. That's to tell you they weren't there because of you but you were there shouting your brains out. Democracy is a fraud in Nigeria

Let Nigerians be serious, deal with their politicians and secure their own future. Americans at one point in time fought for what they now enjoy.
