Asnafsaeed: The only time power will go back to southerner, would have to be a person from Tinubu's camp, hence, its a win-win scenario for us bcuz of the rapport with have with him
Any other personnbis DOA, as PDP will definitely zone its ticket to the north
Astark: he's a very big disappointment to the niger delta.
Imagine buhari has set up "north east development commission" , he has northerners as heads in every agency, he told the world bank to focus on north and he has built ports and factories in northern state.
Jonathan couldn't even restructure the country to make us control our resources, the airport he built were medricrore, he built no sea ports or factories. All his appointment were directed to the north
That is why 2023 is very important. Any candidate that shows a semblance of being a northern stooge or q coward should be jettisoned. This is a good time to be a president.
Buhari has racked up a lot of precedence that could favour the south if used by a smart Southerner.
Astark: that's why Jonathan was a big disgrace to us
Jonathan is a fool. Listening to the north.
The fool should have ensured the entire south south at least has the best ports, the best airports and a complete set of high speed rail lines.. And then extend it nationally from the south south as a starting point. And given the fact that they contribute 85% of Nigeria's earnings, it would have been justified.
Instead, the idiot spent the bulk of his time pandering to the north and yet they couldn't reciprocate.
naturalwaves: Yes, There is a serious brain drain in India as well. Ever heard of IIT, India? That is where all the geniuses in India go to. It will be easier for a needle to pass through the eye of a camel than to gain admission there. Now, when most people finish there, they get snapped up by American companies paricularly the IT Companies and the big players(Google, Microsoft etc).Those guys remain in American and barely contribute to India. America is an expert at taking talents
I know IIT. The US Even have a visa category called the Einstein visa. They use it to suck in the proven best minds all over the world by cutting out all the red tapes involved in immigration.
With an Einstein visa, immigration is very easy.
But to get it, you must be a proven absolute genius.
naturalwaves: I follow the IMO and it is tough bro. A bronze medal at the IMO is something that I cannot even quantify the significance.If you win a bronze medal, your IQ should be comparable to those of Pascal, Lagrange, Lebesque and other mathematical greats. There was a time CHINA won for years. When USA finally won some years back, the country celebrated as though they won the World cup. Guess what? Out of the American team of 4 students, 3 of them are Asians and even the last 1 looks like half Asian, half American . Online trolls mocked America and said America won it because their team was filled with Asians. Do you follow "Ratheon Mathscount" competition? That is another crazy one in America. That is their version of Cowbellpedia. You can follow the channel. See a clip attached below
Yeah. I have heard of the Raytheon competition, through I don't really follow it.
When it comes raw book, the Asians are in charge. Maybe Western Europe can compete with them, but definitely not America.
The irony though is that the best minds in Asia will move to America and the benefits goes to the US eventually. Though China is beginning to retain their own minds.
I don't understand. The kano government was caught on tape giving millions of dollars bribe. The EFCC and their APC supporters claim he is under immunity and nothing can be done.
At the International Mathematics Olympiad (one of the most difficult exams in the world), Nigeria managed to accumulate just 5 bronze medals despite having been participating since 2006. Guess what? 4 out of the 5 bronze belongs to Chiagozie alone. He is the most successful Mathematics competitor in Nigerian history.
It is a shame we have only managed to win bronzes, and most of them from a single individual, despite having nearly a hundred representatives. I didn't want to check for China so as not to ruin my mood.
naturalwaves: I am telling you. However, they will argue that they cannot be coerced into sponsoring any project. We can only appeal. There are enough ideas for intellectually stimulating games but no sponsor. If you want to air a show for just say 1 hour on a local station, it will not be less than 2 million naira. Meanwhile, that is just 1 station in 1 week o. 4 weeks = 8 million. 5 stations equals 40 million naira per month. ..............and that is just airtime alone o.
It is expensive. But if MTN can do it, I don't see why others can't.
I.don't know if this story is true or not. It's probably a lie.
But what is not a lie is that many girls have been wasted by ritualists.
A wise girl would sit in one place, , don't visit strangers, don't collect unmerited gifts, don't enter cars anyhow, focus on your future and wait for a life partner.
naturalwaves: Your analysis is top notch and right on point. When I was in secondary school, a smart friend of mine left Lagos and registered in a Northern school in a Northern state. He was the State Champion and wrote the National exam with about 35 other candidates. That time, it was just 1 per state. If he had written in Lagos, he may not have even made top 50 talk more of emerging as a state winner.
We should say NO to quota system. It has done more harm than good. It broke my heart that WWTBAM is no more. I was always a regular member of the audience. I made a couple of 20ks from the show as an undergraduate. Show really helped me. Imagine having about 17k to buy food stuff and provisions in school as an undergraduate years ago. In fact, I got my first laptop from my WWTBAM audience play winnings.
Nigerians need to petition the private sector to bring back WWTBM.
NLNG, Total or any of those oil companies can sponsor it as part of their CSR. Even Glo or the Tier 1 banks like Zenith, First bank, GTB or Access can sponsor it.
100 million should be enough to rum the program for a year which is chicken feed compared to their yearly profits in Nigeria.
naturalwaves: You forgot Marist Juniorate , Ota Total Academy, Bibo Oluwa, Loyola Jesuit, Nigerian Turkish International, Top Faith, Federal Government College Suleja and the likes. Guess what? They are all coming back.
Big big money school.
When I served in ota, I met with the proprietor of ambassadors college, ota. He told me jokingly that he does not want parents from ota because they can't pay school fees.
naturalwaves: As a teacher that has taught in both classes of schools, I can tell you that the kind of school one attends plays a major role in shaping an individual. If an extremely brilliant child in a Public school is taken to a good school, he will turn to a winch. If an average child in a government school is taken to a far better school, he will turn to a brilliant child. Some government schools are still standard by the way but the gap is much my brother.
Naturalwaves, list the schools that have consistently performed over the years.
