This is fake news. Saudi Arabia didn’t release any news of Nigerians on death row, so please regard this news. I’m full blooded and the other lists about my yahoo brothers caught by the FBI is verifiable but this one isn’t or someone should show my any Saudi Arabia’s government website or news agency that reported on this.

I have already reported this post to the mods, make everybody respect theirselves for here, and PLEASE SAY NO TO TRIBALISM!!!!!

we still have a long way to go down here Bro. why can't he wear his uniform to work? This can only happen in Nigeria or Africa, A whole custom boss receiving a federal minister on an official event and dressed like he's going to church or mosque. this is an abuse of office of the highest order.

This is the kind of people Buhari impose on us... what a shame!!!!

Science/Technology / Re: Meet Hackerfemo Femi Owolade-Coombs - A White Kid With Nigerian Name That Codes by Ugonna5500(m): 11:13pm On Jul 12, 2018
I went to one of the boy's seminars in London last year and that was how i got to learn of his unusual Nigerian names. I was very curious.I made some researches about the boy and I found out that his mother is the one who has a Nigerian ancestry. Her mother's name is Grace Owolade and although born and breed in the UK has a Nigerian father and white mum, that is to say that the boy's paternal grandfather is a full-blooded Nigerian from Yoruba. The boy's father is an Englishman called Christopher coombes born in New Zealand and which is where he got married to Grace Owolade three years after they gave birth to Femi but Grace chose to retain her surname Owolade. so that is how he got his surname from the combination of his mother's surname and that of his father. His mother is also a coder and developer and suffers from an insignificant autism. she is also in her early 50s because he gave birth to Femi when she was 36 and her husband Christopher coombes is in his early 60s because he was 48 when Femi was born. The boy is a bright kid and has a very good sense of humor. You should meet him.

Femi Owolade-Coombs—also known as Hackerfemo—has been coding since he was 9 years old. After learning to hack Minecraft using Python on a Raspberry Pi computer, he decided to set up South London Raspberry Jam to share his passion for coding with other young people. Owolade-Coombes has since run hundreds of coding and robot workshops throughout the world. His community events have are fully inclusive, welcoming young people who have autism or—like him—Tourettes Syndrome, while his business brings workshops to companies and public organizations. Owolade-Coombes was presented an inaugural Diana Award, where he was invited to St James’ Palace and presented with his award by the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

Hackerfemo has been coding since he was nine years old. After learning to hack Minecraft using Python on the Raspberry Pi computer, he decided to set up South London Raspberry Jam – to share his passion for coding with other young people. Three years on, Femi has run hundreds of coding and robot workshops across the UK and internationally. The community events he runs, with other volunteers, have been praised for being pioneering as they are fully inclusive and welcome young people who have autism or, like him, Tourettes Syndrome. In 2017, he won an Inaugural Legacy Diana Award for his kindness, compassion and duty to the community. Femi has successfully set up his own business, hackerfemo.com, delivering workshops and inspirational talks to corporate companies and public organisations, whilst continuing his community work. He has been recognised as a ‘Change- enabler’ and an inspirational young coding ambassador. His present initiative is his most ambitious; with other young coders, he aims to develop an inclusive Young Coders community, running monthly youth-led coding MeetUps, partnering with Tech Industry professionals and overseeing an outreach programme to increase accessibility for under-represented groups. He has set up a crowd-fund campaign to raise £25,000 in order to have the maximum reach.

Wen I see educated naija youths supporting buhari, I know we r in deep shiit.
I didn't know you think as much as I do. This is not a bad prayer for my country but I think 50 years from now, we will still remain where we are, especially with this mentality of our so called youths. This is 21st century and No country need AN AVERAGE OR UNDERPERFOMING LEADER. For a country like Nigeria we are in for a serious problem that it will be too late to get out of if we continue electing bunch of incompetent corrupt selfcentered leaders every years, We would be doomed as a Nation

If this is Italy by now the whole News in the country would have added i to the Daily Headline and will continue to give more follow ups of the case for more than one week

Crime / Re: IMSU Final Year Student Shot Dead By Unknown Gunmen On Her Birthday. Photos by Ugonna5500(m): 2:11am On Mar 23, 2018
ChangeIsCostant:
It's a very sad moment for the family and friends of a 400 level undergraduate student of the department of Banking and Finance, Imo State University - after she was shot dead by unknown assailants. According to reports, the deceased identified as Miss. Ibeh Kelechi Assumpta a.k.a KC who is expected to graduate in August - was shot dead on her birthday on Wednesday, 21st March (yesterday) by unknown gunmen...


It was revealed that her family whom she lived with before the untimely death - were devastated and heartbroken at the Douglas Owerri scene Wednesday evening where the tragedy occurred over yet to be disclosed issue.

According to the brother of the late student who confirmed the tragedy "She was suppose to graduate this year, someone picked a gun, pointed at her, pulled the trigger, she fell in the pool of her blood".

Confirming the sad news also, the departmental president Cmrd Victor Adiele issued an official statement to Imsu Info-media scope where he expressed bitterness and shock over the sudden demise. The notification reads;

"It's a black Thursday for entire students of banking and finance." "With tears of agony, bitterness, the entire students of NABAFS mourn the death of their beloved colleague, course mate, friend, sister Ibeh Kelechi Assumpta (Kay cee) , a 400 level student, soon to be graduate by August, who was shot dead yesterday 21st March by unknown"

She is my friend on faceook. she posted more than ten pictures of her birthday on that 21st and I commented my wishes to her on one of them.
we don't usually chat often but she sent me a picture on the 25th december wishing me a Merry Christmas.
It's very sad that she just left so soon at 23. And if there is anything this has taught me, it should be the fragility of this thing we call 'BREATH OF LIFE'. whether you are a President or Senator, Lawyer or doctor or engineer or the poorest or richest and every other position and level you think you have achieved, all these things don't matter. when Mr.Death calls, you will not go with these things or even remember your status or who you are. It is just swift, fast and you will be left in the dark between you and your creator.
So lets not take this life as if we owe it or as if we will never die. we are not anything better than thousands and millions of people around the world who die on daily basis whether accidentally,mysteriously or just natural death. The piont is that Death is Death, no one is better than the other. Old man death and a day old baby death are all the same, there is no fucking difference between the two.None of them remembers absolutely nothing about their initial experiences and enjoyment and every other thing that life has offered at intervals. Someday this bodies you and I are thriving so had to beautify and satisfy by all means will be put under the ground six feet to serve as launch to the termites and other ants. Nothing worths a single worry in life.

Rest in Peace Kay cee, till the morning sun.

I am currently in Italy and the guy is saying the truth. Africans here especially Nigerians are begging. And there are many blacks here as refugees. Approximately 18 in any 20 blacks here are asylum seekers and Nigeria have been topping the list for past two years. Italy don't even know what to do with them but they can't close the Libya route, they have their advantages as well. More people are still coming. From January yo this May, more than 50,000 Africans and Bangladesh has already arrived Italy through Libya. And before the end of the year, it may reach 200,000. God help Nigeria

I wanna write ILETS. Can I get tips about how to go about it successfully ?


what are you writing ILETS for? Didn't you pass your English in your WAEC. I think every institution around the world offering English does not require the certificate from Nigerian students....But it's okay, if you need guidance, you can visit futurelearn.com or edx.org and search for ILETS preparation courses. They sites are offering free courses in every area and the important thing is that the courses are all free. You can decide to buy the their accredited certificates at the end of the course if you wish. But for me, I just study and widen my scope of knowledge there for free
