Ade3000yrs:
To me, 99% of responses to these threads are most likely a luxury of blunder emanating from an untamed freedom of speech. What I will do, is very simple without needs for ambiguous mechanism.

When a country has been running in darkness for 56yrs with total neglect for its educational system, you should most certainly expect to get zero result has it is only in the movies and dream world that you build a castle in the air. For Solution, I will go to the root to nip the problem in the bud, as we Africans and Nigerians are overly stereo typed.

It is so bad today that when I look at An Average Nigerian Professor and PhD holder today, I see illiteracy written all over him. It is pathetic that we Nigerians abuse the essence and significance of Education. I hate it when pple address and hide themselves behind the obscurity of all their academic titles and yet no result. Nigeria is where it is today because we all play a part in the colossal mess.

All I need do is total restructuring and overhauling of Nigerian schools and academic institutions and value system and everything will come up and running like a scintilliated and electrified electricity once plunged for ages in abject darkness. Nigerian Schools, Value and Culture System is the problem.

For over 56yrs, Nigeria has only been Managing an inherited problem and if nothing is done soonest the filth will continue to bore deep down the hollow abyss right from the centre without any hope of restitution in the nearest future. As far as am concerned, an Average Nigerian Professor is highly illiterate and so far worse are his legions of academic product. Right now, I can say boldly that there is no school in Nigeria, except for National Open University (NOUN) that I know of.

Its just a matter of time, the rest of the Nigerian institution will fade out into oblivion. It is just a matter of time. And What I will do once again? It could be a fusion of Abacha's autocratic approach of socialism and Democracy mix with alot of constitutional fortifications and backings because most of us Nigerians are stoned head due to imperative value culture. Many bad eggs could be made a scape goat and sacrificial lamb, like spare the rod and spoil the child such that when the blind, deaf and dumb sense my name, he will sit up, I won't do that, instead I will employ and enforce the German and Dutch approach. A far more civilized and rational approach will do the magic. It will be so structured in a way that politics at the centre will become as obsolete as the once revered NITEL Corporation. Such that politics will be a free lance service without a monetary reward. No kobo will be paid to any politician except a worthless medal trinket for the sake of honour and free service to your country.

If am the President of Nigeria, surely no politician will earn a kobo for the service to their mother land while the law will be so fortified and structured and automated to run the country with or without any body such that only the law will be in dispensable and not any man no matter the status or charisma or academic and career portfolio.

Nigeria is richer than Ivory Coast. Yet look at this beauty. The British colony was a failure. I wished we were colonise by the french.

ElSherriff:
He spoke the truth in a disrespectful way. No where in the world is name calling permitted. That is slanderous and very disrespectful. Your vice chancellor made a first class and that is academic excellence, it may not be leadership but its excellence all the same and more importantly you being a student has not achieved it yet so MUST show respect. More over its an insult to the entire degree awarding institution almost to the proportion of claiming they were daft for awarding a first class. The others names called are not necessary so I totally support the University. Part of what we all must learn is humility, how to talk in public, how to manage our temperament and how to be civil.

Simeonnwabeks:
God bless you. I dont know there problem and how it concern them. Why not leave them alone to form their country instead of preaching rubbish unity that never exist. Thank you bro

Yorubamafia:
The Igbo's need to realize that unity is the key to obtaining development. America instead of breaking up decided to Unite and form a powerful and developed country. Nigeria is the next big power to emerge from Africa. We need all regions of the country to contribute it's qouta to hasten development. The British Empire merged us because of the diversity and potentials we have which shows we have a promising future. Biafra is not what the Igbo's should demand but presidency so they can have a sense of inclusion in the Nigerian project

ChessEnthusiast:
Out of every salient point that was mentioned, it was only the issue of Adeosun that gave you a hard on. what da hell is wrong with you people that you can't see beyond your ethnic chauvinism, bigotry and hatred? The same person inherited an economy in a state of comatose, forex challenges, plummeting oil prices etc. what would you expect her to do in a difficult situation like this if not to manage the situation which is was she has been doing? Even your darling overhyped local champion ngozi warned us of a difficult time ahead and asked Nigeria to brace up. Your unproductive senators are not ready to cut down their extravagant earnings, they're not ready to cut down on the cost of governance, but your only problem is adeosun.
After 16 years of unprecedented looting of the treasury, your economy is in a dire situation, and you want magic from Kemi because she's a Merlin or what? No way. there's no way we are getting out of this anytime soon because we've refused to save for a time like this. we cannot eat out cake and have it.
I put it you to mention things that you would do differently if you are in the position Kemi is now. I bet if you can! even your iPod fool cbn Governor that turned the treasury to ATM is still there. I have not seen you daft iPod M0ron call for his sack! it sucks to be an iPod yoot. Kemi is going to be there to serve the country in her own capacity and there's nothing you and your fellow inconsequential iPod m0rons are going to do about it. If you're pained, cry me a river son.

free2ryhme:
the dowry system will forever be part of our culture and will never be abrogated because it is an aspect of our tradition that creates some sort of bonding btw and amongs those involve in the act. In this act an entire clan or families or group of families are involve and it goes to send a signal that you have a heritage and customs and you dont live your lives as you so pls irrespect of whether it is 21st century or not.


But you fit try abrogate you own tradition and see the repercussion.. lol and trust me there will always be a repercussion

Malakh:
that's their judgement they ought to suffer for a man, dont need to be a servant to her because of that, that's a decree from above, the question is the man whom they are suffering for,is he worth it?,can he give them "Life", if not its suffering in vain, there's a reason why Paul said "they" shall be saved thru "childbearing"...Most men today don't have the slightest clue of what it means to be a man, having a ding-a-ling is not all it takes or impregnating a woman, that's because theyve never been taught or raised by a "Man"

ABJ4Real:
To the Niger Delta millitants, be rest assured that what goes around comes around. You cannot arm twist the FG into forceful dialogue with your combative approach which has drained all sympathy away from the region unlike the time of Ken Saro Wiwa of blessed memory who intellectualised the struggle and got international support.
Today, the activities of the so-called millitants, to say the least, are self-serving. That the frontline millitants like Asari Dokubo and Co. are reeking in obscene opulence today is an evidence. So, people are no longer fooled by the foibles being bandied around.
Charity begins at home. Hold your leaders accountable first. Does infrastructural development in the region tally with the collosal amount given by the country you so-called millitants hate so much in recent time? We all know the fourtune of ND has changed since the era of Obasanjo. Again, we all know that human wants are insatiable. So new agitation does not need to follow a violent way of destroying the comonwealth of the nation.
Be reminded that war is not an option. This war, you so-called millitants cannot win.

floragregs:
see you! Keep judging happiness via pictures.

samuelUMOH:

Anvaller:
Okay there u said "detect" that means they sound more american now that u only have to "detect" elements of Jamaican or some carribean inflection in the way they speak for u to know tha they don't originally have the american accent.. most of them do not speak english exactly in the accent the folks at home speak..

About the Scottish accent.. Look ppl, why are we over-whipping this issue, What u have said there can not in most cases apply to Scots that have lived most or many years of their lives somewhere else. So that is not a point here. Somebody also referred to Italians.. well, there are many Italians in America that sounds very as american as possible. So what's the point?

Another person said "the white man don't want to speak like us so why do we have to speak like them..." Well this is not a rational reasoning. We Africans, blacks are always in a situation where we are at the mercy of these white folks.. u want to get their job, u want to live in their country, u want to survive within their system so what sense does it make to question why they don't speak like u speak when they come to ur country? Do they have to? When they are not at ur mercy for their survival? In fact that point is immediately defeated when u speak English and not ur local language abroad.

If u do not like or u are not able to adopt an accent,, its okay but stop running those that want to down or criticizing them if they can do it properly..

Ravenna:
The boy is neither a member of SUG or SRC, he's just plain stupid to insult the elders and he must be a basterrd Yoruba boy.
Meanwhile, after insulting em academics finish, he stil have the guts to end the article with "e bami nibe"
Who be i'm mate?
Even if the VC is a saint, he won't spare him for that last statement.
Even the dumbo NL mods won't hesitate to ban you if you aim such at the "Sire"- SEUN.
What happened to fairness and respect?!
The whole system sucks, the govt has been fhucking its citizens since AGES.
He should be made a scape goat to deter others from such foolery.

Border crossing fees add up along the way. Togo own is notorious. So you will pay in Benin and then pay at Togo and then pay at Ghana crossing.
I paid N4000 in Togo to get my passport stamped. That was when Naira was 199 to $1.
I paid N2000 at benin and another 4k or so at Ghana. It was less paid to return because once they stamp your passport, you are charged a lesser rate or free passage the next time.
The transport fees were about the same as the immigration fees. But i suspect if you take a transport company luxury bus, they have a special processing agreement that reduces the cost, hustle and time..
Don't try it without double the amount being quoted here unless you are a real hustler ready to endure anything.

I took the original credentials along with their photocopies to a court in Ibadan. I was charged #200 per page. It was certified under 15minutes

Phizzlephizz:
If you're a working class and you're earning over 350k monthly, I don't see any reason why I can't decide to buy an iPhone 7.

But if you're a Nigerian and u don't have high paying job or maybe u're a student and u buy an iPhone 7, it's been stupid cuz all u tryna do is show off, feel important, intimidate, and let people talk about u, which makes ur priorities so so misplaced.

henribj:
big fat lie

bensine:
we are not compatible as one Nigeria. we should let this northern elements to be on their own since 99.9% of them are Muslims while the 99.9% of Southerners are Christians. am tired of this bad news of boko haram. if they want to kill all their brothers, let them do because they are all the same. there's no difference between the Fulani herdsmen who are killing people with the boko haram who are also killing people. while are we been forced to leave with this blood thirsty fellows?

Shym3xx:
This clown is a Stanford graduate? Oh well, that shows quality education doesn't change people's mentality. And he's a living proof, hence no matter how educated a naij person is, the mentality always disrupt the person's thought process.

He got smacked cos he said he's "happy" due to the mess, rather than make complaints on how an airport of international standard and one of the busiest in the world needs to do better and be held to a higher standard. If he had done that, they would've apologised to him for the inconveniences.

Naij folks just always have an idiotic way of celebrating failures and everything wrong with naij by getting excited with examples in other places. That's a terrible mentality to have and it's the bane of Nigeria. I'm glad they ethered his stupid arse, though. What a pleb!

Lifestone:
Poor response from Heathrow.
The reply will do more damage to them than good. The truth is that if you have ever witness how some white dudes look down on Africa, you will understand the feeling of the guy.
They should have their leaking roof fixed and stop being OLodo

Iamabraham:
Good morning family.

Please, I have done the certification of my credentials but I need to send it to SA to a friend.

How best can I do this?

Please, help a brother. Very Urgent.

Thanks

This man mismanaged the company, spent borrowed money lavishly and totally went against every good business tenet. Corporate governance was zero. Staff lost jobs, customers that had prepaid lost money and he spent it all living a lavish lifestyle.

Now, he has the guts and temerity to parade himself as a saint. I am sure he is trying to repackage himself for another enterprise and is hoping that Nigerians will forgive and forget.
