Nairalander248: Nairaland would advertise for Birmingham University and would still push derailing Post about the same school for FP.
Anyways, if the lady can't give 4years out of her life to focus and study, then let her join Federal University and stop complaining
That is not 4 years of focus and study. The university is for adults who take responsibility for their actions and those treatments in that Bingham University doesn't reflect an adult taking responsibility, it is like semi prison.
That is not good for education and psychology. We are social beings and I expect the management of the university to know better since they have professors, professionals and administrators in their system.
DyshApp: A lady, simply identified as Ene, has given reasons why she dropped out of the Birmingham University, citing unpleasant experiences.
Ene, in a post on social media, on Tuesday, revealed that she dropped out of Birmingham University as she could no longer bear the terrible conditions.
She wrote, “I went to a private university. Phones were not allowed, girls weren’t allowed to make their hair below their shoulders, you cannot wear slippers before 4pm.
“You cannot cook in the hostel so you must buy 3 meals everyday, you will be suspended for missing chapel, you will be suspended for getting abused, once you get to school, you cannot leave again unless you sign an exeat that your parents call to confirm.
“Your department can literally drop you without telling you. When you get to 500 level, they come and tell you to switch to 200 level in another department because your results were poor. And you’ll pay fresh school fees.
“Security men will parade and if they see a boy and girl standing together, they’ll exploit them for money or threaten to set them up for expulsion.”
She noted that she could not cope with all the rules and regulations and had to drop out.
Op, please you should edit your post to reflect the correct name of the school and always do some research before you post similar items.
There is no Birmingham University in Nigeria, the possible one I think is Bingham University which is in Karu, Nassarawa. What you described about the school can only happen in Nigeria and maybe African environment but never in other continents of the world.
This can be interpreted as an attempt to tarnish the image of Birmingham University. Be very careful in this age.
NikoWinaman: Why are you calling Tinubu? Was it Tinubu that arrested him? MNK is already completing his first four years presidential tenure in Prison. Tinubu does not even give a dime about the guy as you can see all the plea he never responded to any. You people should go and beg Buhari and leave Tinubu alone to fix the country. He does not know if MNK exist or not.
It is not even a Buhari thing. It is a matter of threat to National Security which I think the courts can establish in the case of Nnamdi Kanu.
No president or ex-president should influence the court. Both teams of attorneys(defendant and prosecutor) should prepare their case efficiently and do their jobs in the court.
The judiciary should also expedite the judgment in this case.
stampo: Am optimistic that before the end of this round of trials, KANU will be freed on the grounds of presidential pardon...for the an all inclusive government especially carrying the south east along...
Mark my words - this president will not do a presidential pardon for Nnamdi KANU just yet.
Nnamdipapa: A prisoner is giving conditions. I blame the federal government and our useless judicial system.
There is enough evidence for Kanu to hang but we are never serious. Create a panel of special prosecutors to convict the guy. It should not take more than six months I swear.
There is a serious attempt to politicize Nnamdi Kanu's case in court.
That attempt is what I expect the judiciary and executive federal government to resist.
He must be tried and if guilty, he should be sentenced and convicted.

IN FACT YOUR POST PROVES MY POINT AND MAKES ME REJOICE.
YOU HAD TO DIG ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2020 - A FULL 5 YEARS AGO UNDER BUHARI, TO FIND ANY ALLEGATION OF CORRUPTION IN THE FEDERAL SCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMME.
MY CASE IS PROVEN!
THE PROGRAMME IS WORKING AND FEEDING NIGERIAN CHILDREN.
IF YOU HAD ANY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST, TAKE IT UP WITH BUHARI.
HE IS IN DAURA.
DON'T USE YOUR BAD MIND TO SPOIL WHAT MR PRESIDENT IS DOING TODAY.
Stupid man, so you can still talk this shit point on this subject. You have a serious problem, have a nice day.
Don't you think this is corruption, inefficiency, fraudulent misuse and diversion of funds meant for the school feeding programme?
These corruption, fraudulent misuse and diversion of funds and more reasons are the justifications we have against the school kids feeding programme of the federal government.
The school kids feeding programme fund can be channeled into other programme like education, health care, agriculture and research programme subsidy.
I have given you enough proofs that the the school kids feeding programme of the federal government is associated with corruption, mismanagement, inefficiency and fraud.
I expect that the logical thing for you to do is to run back into your hole with your tail between your legs.
Tellmeastory: My opinion is encapsulated in this simple, cogent explanation by AI (ChatGPT)
''Why did Nigeria end fuel subisidies?''
...............
AI Response
Nigeria ended fuel subsidies primarily to address longstanding economic inefficiencies, reduce fiscal burdens, and promote more sustainable economic growth. Here’s a breakdown of the key reasons for this decision:
1. Unsustainable Fiscal Pressure Fuel subsidies had become a significant drain on Nigeria’s national budget. In 2022 alone, Nigeria spent over $10 billion on fuel subsidies, which accounted for nearly half of the country's revenue. This left little room for investment in critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
2. [b]Corruption and Inefficiency[/b] The fuel subsidy regime was riddled with corruption, including inflated claims by marketers and smuggling of subsidized fuel to neighboring countries. The government often found it challenging to regulate the system effectively, leading to substantial losses. Ending the subsidies was seen as a way to curb these inefficiencies.
3. Global Oil Price Volatility Nigeria, despite being a major oil producer, depends on imported refined petroleum due to inadequate local refining capacity. Subsidizing fuel became increasingly costly with fluctuating global oil prices. High oil prices, which benefit Nigeria's crude exports, also increased the cost of importing refined fuel for domestic consumption, worsening the subsidy burden.
4. Economic Reforms and Diversification Ending subsidies aligns with Nigeria’s broader goal of economic diversification and reform. By eliminating the subsidy, the government can redirect funds toward investments in agriculture, manufacturing, renewable energy, and other sectors that reduce dependency on oil revenues.
5. Recommendations from International Organizations Global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have long recommended the removal of fuel subsidies, citing them as economically regressive and favoring the wealthy over the poor. These organizations argued that subsidy removal would create a more transparent and equitable economic framework.
6. Local Refining Ambitions With the commissioning of the Dangote Refinery, the world’s largest single-train refinery, Nigeria expects to reduce its reliance on imported refined petroleum. This infrastructure aims to stabilize fuel availability and potentially lower costs in the long term, making the subsidy system less necessary.
7. Pressure to Increase Revenue Nigeria has faced declining revenues due to oil theft, inefficiencies in tax collection, and economic mismanagement. Eliminating subsidies was part of the government's strategy to free up funds and focus on increasing its revenue base through other means.
Challenges and Public Reaction The removal of subsidies has not been without controversy. Fuel prices have risen significantly, leading to protests, increased transportation costs, and inflation. The government has sought to mitigate these impacts by introducing measures like a proposed cash transfer program for vulnerable households and improving public transportation infrastructure.
Conclusion Ending fuel subsidies was a bold and necessary step for Nigeria to stabilize its economy and reallocate resources more effectively. While the short-term effects have been challenging for the average Nigerian, the long-term benefits, if managed correctly, could include better infrastructure, increased local production, and a more diversified economy.
[quote author=Mynd44 post=133611651][/quote]Your point is well taken. There is a shift in the policy of most Nigerian companies with respect to Staff Welfare. They mostly do less to improve the welfare of their staff.
Tellmeastory: Little queer. NO, I DID NOT. But after they removed it, I investigated the reasons and found them to be valid.
Being clever abi.
So when you investigated, what reason did you find or premise your justification? What is the major reason to remove petroleum products subsidy - give us your opinion?
Tellmeastory: OF COURSE WE SHOULD DRAG EINSTEIN INTO IT, LITTLE BOY.
Some guy made a post about how the govt is ploughing a 100 billion naira into feeding POOR SCHOOL KIDS, and instead of a positive or at the very least, indifferent reaction, it is met with a hail of abuse and condemnation, in a forum overtaken by Obidients and IPO.B terrorists.
So this is as good a time as any to call in the great EINSTEIN, who said:
''Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance''.
- ALBERT EINSTEIN.
Let me test your knowledge - old fool.
Did you condemn petroleum products subsidy by the Federal Government?
TimeManager: The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted after National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, is accused of threatening the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi's life on Arise TV.
In a statement shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, the party dismissed the claims, asserting that Felix Morka did not threaten Peter Obi.
The APC accused Obi's supporters of spreading false and malicious narratives after being unable to counter the arguments presented during the interview.
To substantiate its position, the party shared a transcript and a video clip of Morka’s remarks during the interview.

Insolent little air head.
BRAINLESS DUNCE LOOKING TO SCHOOL HIS FATHER.
Here's a quick quote from Einstein to feed your empty head, together with those of your fellow haters, who condemn everything the govt does.
''Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance''.
- ALBERT EINSTEIN.
You don't need to drag Albert Einstein into your stupid, despicable and shallow thinking. Albert Einstein is too exposed, advanced and knowledgeable to be drawn into your illiteracy and retarded mindset.
I say yet again that you are typing from a hole somewhere in the world. That is where you belong until you are schooled on communication in public space anyway.
Tellmeastory: YOU ARE A DUNCE, AND TYPICAL of the ANIMALS we have here, 99% of them IP.O.B TERRORISTS, who lambast every single positive news in the country.
I am also entitled to my opinion in calling you a BUNCH OF ANIMALS.
GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY. We don't need you!
Na your generation be dunce. See this nonentity, typing from one hole with a ridiculous Android phone.
You think you have the right to come and insult everyone on nairaland because it is a faceless platform.
The country belongs to all of us and you are so small and insignificant to threaten anybody.
Bush boy, go and get literate and especially schooled on communication. It is obvious you lack manners and good training.
imbless: You should use your head also, so inflation suddenly rose by itself, Naira suddenly devalued itself by over 900 to 1000% since APC took over, our foreign and local debt suddenly rose by itself since 2015, our reserves suddenly plummeted on itself , so multinational companies decided to leave Nigeria market because the government polices were making them too profitable and our economy plummeted from becoming the first to 4th by itself?
You can defend Tpain and APC but the aftermath of their ineptitude is so glaring, even to the blind.
The idiot can't even define inflation. There is no point schooling him, he is irredeemable when it comes to APCrisim and Tinuburism
The low prices you enjoyed previously were derived artificially from FUEL SUBSIDIES and a CHAOTIC, DUAL EXCHANGE RATE which, had they not been tackled, would have BANKRUPTED the nation.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
It means whatever problems you are experiencing today would be TIMES 10 in the long run, if you had maintained that status quo.
Peter Obi promised to end the fuel subsidies ''ON DAY ONE'' of his administration.
Tellmeastory: Why did they not loot the funds which built the hospital you were born in, and the school that educated your dumbass? Or the funds that installed the fibre optic cables enabling your digital connectivity?
School feeding programme is not necessary. That is not the reason children are in school. It is the responsibility of the parents to feed their children.
Such funds should be channeled into subsidizing education, healthcare, agriculture or other reasonable people oriented government projects.
