Better wake up from your slumber. You apparently know little about politics and governance and even less about history. No leader can run this country without cabals. They were there since Gowon presided over the civil war importing arms. Murtala wined and dined with them. Shagari had them in charge of 'essential commodities. Buhari I had them in charge of the import license caper, IBB gave them licenses to lift crude oil replacing the worthless naira as legal tender up till GEJ who gave them licenses to import phantom cargoes of fuel.

Every regime since independence has produced its oligarchs and Buhari II will not be an exception. He either does that or be removed. It is that simple. By the way he made every day architects, quantity surveyors and engineers of Afri-Project Consortium overnight billionaires. So did his import license regime. I won't name names. But it has and it will happen again.

Corruption cannot end in Nigeria.

I may not know much about politics and history. In fact I am so naive that being an Ibo I told my folks Jonathan needed not to have contested for Presidential elections and this was last year. But one thing I know is this: once the electorate get more informed these cabals will fear us. Rather than being sarcastic, why not support Buhari, seeing it is inevitable and educate people around you to ask intelligent questions especially from our politicians.

i'd tell you a story once, a man on my street wanted to run for house of rep, yet he called no one in his neighbourhood for a meeting to inform us of his interests. His immediate neighbourhood was completely ignored. Can this happen in US? No. I've read Clinton's autobiography and see how the campaign to grassroot cos every vote counts. The electorates know the power of the ballot. Obama the same. Why not educate rather than discourage man?

raumdeuter:
The Oba has spoken.

The same way Arthur Eze in the presence of Jonathan threatened anyone who votes Amala people.

The Oba simply responded in kind

First to do , No dey pain

Hey lets preach peace rather than hate. Two wrongs make no right. If the Arthur made a mistake must we quote him as if he has won the noble award for his stupidity? I am an Ibo but Jonathan made a mistake to air such a derisory comment. Airing negative publicity as such belittles a man. I refuse to comment on the Oba's statement cos it may not be true and even if it, it is now too politicized. I am not in Nigeria but I think the Ibos should vote who they think will improve Lagos rather than spite Buhari or fear any threats. Let's join hands to make Nigeria better.

VOTE A CREDIBLE MAN ,UNTAINTED AND UNBLEMISHED MAN.

VOTE JIMI AGBAJE

This is the issue. Did you ask him intelligent questions like how is he going to achieve all these? Did you ask him how many jobs he will create? Does he know how much income Lagos currently earns? How will he improve that? How will he upgrade taxation? Loads of questions to ask.

Look we don't need to played again. See how this Agbaje and the other APC candidate are polarizing Lagos. And we are educated yet we allow ourselves to be used. Come on folks. What is really important to us? Do we really care whether it is APC or PDP? If yes why? What we want is good governance. Time to start asking intelligent questions.

Reference:
Once again the 'system' is miles ahead of the players. This is why corruption can never end. Once again I say, the best days of the APC are over.

Why? Come on be optimistic my friend. Nigeria is bigger than Obasanjo, Tinubu, Jonathan or anybody so be optimistic. This is why we the electorate need to be more proactive. We have left them for too long. For crying out loud this may be propaganda from PDP. It may also be true after all majority of APC folks decamped from PDP so none is holy. What we need are people who would put Nigeria first. If it is OBJ or Tinubu let's give them the support.

I understand we need new players. But if we don't stay proactive any new comer will still be influenced to act the same. Change doesn't end here. It has just started so cheer up.

This government is in debt.... in debt to cabals and saboteurs. Imagine what could have assembled together in one boat, men like atiku, obj, tinubu, etc. We all know this fellows can never mean well for the country. So selfish that they can't see..... in short its not even about the selfishness factor these guys are turned demonic, fighting against anything good and progressively positive. Nigerians been short sighted since time immemorial.

That is why we need to be united and stop allowing these guys divide us. Abraham Lincoln said the ballot is stronger than the bullet. Do you know we can recall a senator? These guys have been campaigning. How many of us cared to listen and weigh what they said? Were the realistics or just saying what we wanted to hear aka playing to the galleries? Are we being too emotional?

Brothers and sisters let us unite and show what our collective efforts can achieve without being partisan and these politicians would respect us.

tommykiwi:
U guys need change ba? So U shouldn't complain,change is here....hiss!

Don't be scarstic. Let us give Buhari a chance regardless of who you voted. With this attitude we will win. What do you really want? A healthy Nigeria or XYZ as president. Brothers and Sisters please lets stop all these. Be intelligent and let reason and logic rather than tribe, religion and politics win. Once our politicians realize we know our rights Godfatherism which is the bane of our politics will die because the president will appoint the best because he knows got their on through the help of masses who voted him rather than a Godfather. This what killed Jonathan. i thank God Buhari has a strong character. I pray God helps him

What do you stand to gain with all these? Let's wake up and stop being tribalistic? If its Soludo, is he going to be working for SE or Nigerians? Enough of all these pointless tribal sentiments. What did the North gain from all their Generals? What did SE gain from Okadigbo, Anyim etc?

These guys just trade on our ignorance. How does where the finance minister come from that affect us? Lets be honest, does Nigeria need 36 Ministers? No. I knew Jonathan was not going to do well when he appointed a lot of political ministers. Let's pray Buhari doesn't thread the same path.
We Nigerians need to be more intelligent with our politicians and stop all this shallow tribalism and partisan bias. For instance, while Jonathan failed on a lot of things, not everything his Govt attempted to do were wrong as APC made us believe. For instance, they way out of the Power and oil crises is definitely removal of subsidy. Think about it the economics is sound. Investors can't invest in our power or downstream oil and gas with all these subsidies. Investors coming in will create jobs for us and even exploit for Eg. coal which we have in abundance. But APC let us think of the present alone and we kicked against it. I for one didn't trust them and I know many didn't but that's the way forward.

I pray with Buhari (atleast he is honest) in power, we can attempt that again cos Nigeria is in need of investments which will create jobs. Lets think this way and stop being tribalistic or partisan. If PDP critizes APC for wanting to remove subsidy (every sane Gov will cos its killing us) or do anything positive in the interest of Nigeria lets resist PDP cos we youths need job opportunities.

For those who have not received any mail I suggest you check your alternative mail you provided when you were applying. I saw mine in my gmail spam although all correspondence with them so far has been through yahoo. However, I have also submitted my admission letter since. Just for clarification of doubt.

lazinc:

Congratulations as a potential PTDF scholar.

PTDF now gives it's scholars accommodation money in cash. So you have the liberty to decide if you want to settle for school or off campus accommodation which is relatively cheaper.
Though I would advise you stay in school accommodation for like 2 to 3 months while you take time to look for a better accommodation outside school and also allow you to settle down quickly as you arrive the UK.
You may want to go ahead and book for the school accommodation (Ensuite, of course self-catered) which you can decide to leave whenever you choose to.
Best of luck

Are you a past scholar lazinc? A former scholar mentioned something about PTDF making some arrangement with either our landlords or agents. Anyways, how about if you intend to go to schools without accomodation? Where do you start? Can you give us more generic tips. And I second the motion of a BBM chat group.

DMainMan: @greatdave, catchdwind4rmkd, kenevics, ucheewa.

Av u guys applied for hostel accommodation.

D earlier d better before it is filled.

I want to know the accommodation specifications that is within PTDF budget. Make I no go select wetin de no fit afford o.

When applying for my school accommodation, they were asking which
housing types do I desire whether it is a
Single room, Single room with basin, double room, ensuites, Private accommodation etc.

Also, de were asking if it is goin to b
catered or self catered. By Catered, they mean the university hostel will offer feeding to you while self catered means feeding will b provide by oneself.

Also, i will like to know about accommodation duration. Is it
September to September or
September to June cos my course
semester finishes by June o according to my admission letter.

I think this is where we need the help of past scholars or perhaps we should just wait till induction. Who has gotten a Cert of Acceptance? That's most crucial for now.
