Lastly, our education system needs an overhaul. First, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) should be the focus of formal education. Most schools in Nigeria don't have laboratory, the ones that have don't do practicals, while the one that take practicals focus on archaic stuff like litmus test, acid, base stuff. To bridge this shortfall, we must adopt technology (edutech) and formulate the right policies. Second, Private schools and public schools must become more accountable and controllable.

All promotional exam must be done by JAMB. if, students don't pass, no promotion! The truth is the present generation is actually the laziest generation ever! I mean they don't read at all! No thanks to the system. Students get promoted even when they fail, whether in private or public school. With a federal body handling (all) exams if possible things will change and the competition among schools, states and students will begin. This will breed the most intellectual generation ever with the help of ICT.

Here, we are turning lemon into lemonade. Also, teachers need retraining, motivation and better pay whether in private or public school. A minimum wage should be set for teachers, that's no school can employ a teacher for anything less than that pay and of they do, they get sanctioned or close. It will become a case of survive or die for schools. If let's say 100,000 naira were the minimum wage for teachers, education can finally attract the best brains. Education needs much more attention than it is getting at the moment.

In summary, there is so many untapped potential buried in Nigeria due to our huge population, diversity and median age, if we unlocked it, we would be among the top 10 economies in the world.

MOD please move to front page to get more traction. Who knows, policy makers and government can start the future today.

[center][/center]3. Third, the emphasis on education shouldn't be formal education but 'skilled education'. The truth is many Nigerians especially in the North can't read and write in 'En[right][/right]glish', because I heard some come read Arabic right? No problem! Instead of teaching them how to read and write, which might fail and might be a waste of money because graduates are unemployed, we can teach them how to be experts in a productive field and make their products sellable. We can teach professional tailoring, wood works, and many other skill that might help us stop importing items. For instance, Nigerians are very fashionable but sadly we import most of our wears. Imagine if, we wear what we make ourselves, from top (necklace) to bottom (shoes). I mean both the raw materials themselves.

Next, this is going to be the most expensive idea and probably the one that will benefit government the most. Why not gas powered cars? I mean all vehicle in Nigeria run on gas, whether CNG Abi waiting them call am? We have one of the biggest gas deposit in the world, which can become our goldmine. I know, we were talking of Dangote refinery and celebrating it, I inclusive. But imagine if all vehicles run on gas, this means that Government will be making huge revenue. We consumed $12BN plus of petroleum every year, if we use Gas instead it means Government will make $12BN from our gas and still make the billions from oil at the same time.

[left][/left]Did I hear you say double portion? The truth is for this to happen huge investment is required from Government, Private firms and indeed Nigerians. I don't know of cars can be converted from fuel powered to Gas powered without buying a new one but if it can then Nigerians will gladly convert their cars to gas powered provided it is cheaper than fuel. It will be the biggest change Nigeria will get.

Second, it is high time Nigeria maximize the potential of it's creative industry by becoming the main player in the world. The main player in the world? How so? I heard President Tinubu wants to create 1 million Jobs in ICT. I think the idea I want to share can create about 5million jobs in ICT, entertainment and manufacturing. The truth is Nigerian's movie industry is dying and no one is taking note of that. If I ask you, the last time you watched a Nigerian movie, did you pay for it? Your answer is no (90% of Nigerians), you even downloaded music for free too. This is where we can change the game. It is time we start a new operating system that doesn't allow sharing at all! I mean put an end to Android and iPhone in Nigeria (I know you don't like the sound of that). But the truth is, we are losing more than we are gaining with these devices. How can this be done? Build a new operating system for devices that can be used for Nigeria and indeed Africa (Pan-Africanism is the future of Nigeria). Key features of this OS:
1. No sharing, if you want to watch a movie or play a song you must pay for it.
2. Naira would be the major currency for downloading
3. 50% of apps on a user phone must be built by tech firms in Nigeria
4. A digital marketing hub where people can retail picture, videos, music and app. That is people get paid for selling a digital content
5. Every digital item is taxed. Say 10% goes to the government.

With government support, Nigeria's rich men can run this. We might even force Phones manufacturers to produce in Nigeria or start our own manufacturers. There is nothing wrong if Dangote, Adenuga, Tony Elumelu start a mobile manufacturing company. By disrupting the system we can become number 1 and major players in no time.

We will all agree that it is time for Nigeria to move on if it were ready to take 133 million people out of poverty. I rooted heavily for Peter Obi is an obedient but like the Batists would say, 'we lost'. Whether Tinubu remains president after the Presidential election Tribunal is not my worry. My worry is how can we move this country forward, for ourselves and posterity? Here are five things Tinubu should consider to take 133 million Nigerians out of poverty.

Before I start, we must note that if Nigeria must grow, we need to disrupt the 'system', so most of my ideas might be 'assumption reversals', more like the opposite of what is being done. This is how we can break into a fiercely dominanted international market. Why these are my ideas for growth in Nigeria and I do not have the data to support it, I will love to see Government put it into practice.

First, why not subsidize agriculture? How so? Apply PPP (Public-Private Partnerships), with the accent on the first P, which is public. Let me explain. The major focus of government in partnership has been investors with big bucks to fund key projects but what if Government becomes the investor? Nigeria have a very young population with a median age of 18 like Peter Obi said which means we are young, vibrant and energetic. If Federal Government set aside 1trillion Naira every year for Grant to young Nigerians to go into farming imagine the output in 8years. Government will be partnering with the youth (public) for the public. How it can work? First, Local, state and federal government can earmark land in key agricultural states and give to young people on lease. In turn, Government will take 40% of the outputs. So ideally, Federal government will be providing, land, funds, seeds, machinery and knowledge in return for 40% equity. A win-win for everyone. Government can create 5million new jobs with this.

Revenue will increase since government has a stake in the output and then we can also have a surplus in the near future. Agriculture is the future of Nigeria but we need to do it differently, if we can create that future NOW.

Illiterate, this is rubbish, IB was established in 1971 by Lawrence Omole, SAB acquisition means nothing, companies buy other companies all the time, unless you are able to show us how SAB buying IB transformed Anambra under Obi.

Again, keep quiet if you have nothing better to talk about.

Guy you were trashed in your own thread. It shows how poor most Yorubas are when it comes to economics. Maybe when it comes to something that has to do with talking or being loud and uncouth, Yorubas can be number one.

When I see a guy I like and I am drunk and he is very clean, I rim his ass. It's called rimmingnit sucking. I did yesterday self with my situationship bae

Set awon IKEPZU of Abia.

You forget SanwoOlu that brought Buhari to commission a railroad in December and up till May it is still not completed. Yoruba people with their double face

Greetings nairalanders.

Earlier this year, a bill was signed by Anambra State government championed by the state Governor Prof Chukwuma Soludo on provision of constant light in Anambra.

Returning home.....I noticed a great change.

In Awka(stayed there two weeks) I do rate 89% improvement towards this bill. The only problem is that once rain falls........Oti lo!

But came back my hometown (Agulu) since last week..... and I can comfortably say that there's 91.5% improvement towards this bill.

So if you are currently in Anambra.....

Please tell us your location and rate power supply in your area

I was in Alhambra in December mainly during 27 - 4th of January. I was so impressed with the hours of light they enjoyed. I am looking at relocating there next year.

My friend was a dry cleaner but was living comfortabl in a flat. His neighbor was a keke napep driver and he too stays in a flat. It made me have a rethink. Maybe I just dey suffer myself for Lagos. Mind you, I and my friend graduated same year.

Hello house, I want to sell my IPhone 6s plus, 128gb. Bought London used, two months ago. Battery health 100%

Asking price: 60k

Location: Apapa, Lagos

Wow, even as a teacher, I am earning more than a banker comparing only basic pay. Chai, Na just name and saw dey bank job.

Talking about the new offer, not the old.

dustmalik:
OP, we dash LP all the APC votes in Rivers and Lagos, LP still won't catch up. So what's the point?

Obi could never have won this election, no matter how you look at it. Take a second look at his numbers in the core north, he did very poorly.

Obi will be wasting his time and money going to court.

Mumu a plus for LP is a minus for APC. If LP gets 500k votes, you have to Minus 500k votes from APC. That will give you, 1m votes. So 2.7m difference is a mirage

I was expecting to see 100k, 200k but this is so poor from KKK. Or are these results fake?

Vlyrics:
I'm not looking at the winner but the turn out to know what to expect. I calculated to get the average votes and guess what? All 6 LGA gave under 27k votes.

Multiple it 44 local government, we can expect between 1.2 - 1.5m votes. This is great for us OBidient as Kano is biggest KKK, and it is showing low turn out. That means all 3 states will give less than 4.5m votes. Divided by two. That's 2.2m for tinubu though.

Just estimate shall

More results

Image below should answer you


Out of every 100 PVC

NW has 24, SW has 19 NC has 16 NE 13

SouthSouth has 15 SouthEast 12


.

So you mean, APC will get 12% of PVC from NW plus 7% NE and 10% In SW that gives you 29% compare with 11% for OBi in SE, 9% in NC, 10% in SS that's 30%

Then add OBi little wins in SW as Second place winner, you can see we have won.

The people's president uniting the south for the first time. Thank you SE, SW and SS. Yoruba's shock me

Tallesty1:
North is quiet and that is what bothers me

It is scary. I had to check BBC Hausa to know what's happening. Looks like they are planning block votes for Atiku. It's scary. I thought they will scatter it with Atiku and Tinubu but block votes is scary

This looks below standard. I'm still looking for the lecture halls you are showing us court. Na basketball studies be their only course?

Thanks to Kuda I transfer for free and it is very fast in delivery. First Bank is trash

You might want to prepare for dips because:

1) DOGE IS RISING

2) TOMORROW IS WEDNESDAY

Your USDT/BUSD should be your paddy now.
