theoldpretender:Let govt find the money. In a country that doles out over 160,000,000 naira to each Senator every year (outside of actual salary!), education should be funded by the govt. What exactly does Nigeria offer the common man. Merely living in Nigeria is enough sacrifice. The evil of corruption is so horrific and will end the country...that “education bank” bank had better not have people like Saraki etc near it...by the first quarter of 2017, unpaid student loan total was in the region of 100 billion pounds in the UK..i see this as fertile corruption ground for people in governance...slush fund for their shenanigans. |
monarck:True talk..This man will not step down as president if he looses a second term bid...he will be wiser than OBJ and successfully change the rules for a 3rd term bid. God help us. |
Oh well...
|
SmartyPants:Lol...see investigative journalism..you may have solved this one, but cool down with watching crime channels |
LesbianBoy:Stop being wowoist |
Throwback:

Pebcak:You have a point. If I recall correctly, it was a dash cam audio and video record of a conversation between a Uber taxi driver and the passenger that happened to be the Uber CEO was part of what made the CEO loose his job... |
Nigeria’s past nemesis beginning to come out of the woodworks...now they have mouth to talk. Thanks OBJ! |
He is a complete show man so he requests that they cast him anytime they want to use his properties in a film. He has been filmed as extra etc many times but it seems this is the only time he wasn't edited out...just my twopence |
Some people are out of job...politics is their means of employment. Not only do they thrive as politicians, they loooot blindly. |
Myati:Locum..OT overtime work... |
Adefemiaderoju1:I concur, after 1 year would one get another international DRiving License? One will always need a full DL so best to do the theory test, schedule driving lessons and do the practical exam as soon as one can make out time..that way one won’t make silly or costly mistakes when driving. |
maverick001:Must be a long time ago..I read or heard somewhere that the roof not shown in the picture was added early 1990s so that the Amphitheater could also be used when it rains! I don't own the copyright to the picture though..I pilfered from the Internet ![]() |
OAU

buygala:Oga me , I too graduated from OAU but errmmm, this post is a bit over analytic and critical. It is as if o Ja e lara je It is true we don't have the full story of the history of the school etc etc...there may be tens of people like her but let us celebrate with those who celebrate... ![]() |
Ishilove:You know now, they are the ones that when they leave Nigeria, they want to sit in the owner's corner of taxi.. |
Doesn't ring true - some banks have special accounts that require a minimum of 100,000 pounds to operate. Usually those accounts will require someone with high salary payments incoming monthly. This may just be a ploy to get Nigerians with loot money to start opening accounts with them - after all, not many U.K. Citizens can afford it. In the U.K., the average salary a year is less than 28,000 pounds. Meaning that the ordinary U.K. Citizen finds it hard to save anything after living expenses, they even resort to borrowing. |
deepwater:I am not trying to pick a fight..just correcting. Like I said, Oduduwa Hall is the room with orange and green cushion chairs, Amphi theatre was an open space with concrete seating slabs. ODLT 1 and 2 were never part of the design. Those were added to increase number of lecture rooms. ODLT is not the main Oduduwa hall. |
wowo2:...and I have been informed that the Amphitheatre's original design was without a roof! The roof apparently was built after almost 2 decades so the Amphitheatre is useableall year round. Cushions in a facility without a roof wouldnt be a good idea, |
deepwater:You are wrong That was the design - all concrete. You must be confusing the Amphitheatre with the Oduduwa Hall. They are separate. My parents have been in the university since 1966 and they dont believe you |
RoyalBoutique:Na wa 4 u o. Your reasoning reminds me of the man whose neighbors caught his wife committing adultery. She somehow forgot to lock the main door to the house and a neighbor came visiting and just walked in to some live love movie. When the husband arrived, all he kept asking was .."in our house? How could she be doing this in our house?". Instead of being mad at wife for being adulterous, he was lamenting about the venue. Na 4 hotel she suppose dey do am? ![]() |
Emassive:Teresa na omo baba pastor |
Has anyone forgotten Governor Wike claimed the ikoyi money belonged to his state?..what a joke. All these naija politicians and the things they say..not even sure if it is the citizens that are so gullible that should be blamed. Anything they say and some people just believe them without any proof. Anyway sha it happens in America too with Trump and his believers. |
Yeah right...no need to remind us as we already know a la ikoyi episode, that a lot of money left the treasury on the false pretext of fighting insurgency. |
Incessant Police harassment was a main reason for my leaving Nigeria. You do everything by the book but they harrass you endlessly just to extort money with made up reasons - one document today, another tomorrow. The last experience, I was forced to drive to a police station and immediately my car tyres were deflated. That was it for me - frantic checks of visa requirements to other countries started the next day! I have stayed away from Nigeria for about a decade and while still doing everything by the book as I did in Nigeria the experience is different. I drive 50 miles at least everyday but I have never been harassed by police. I have only been stopped once - a passenger in my car forgot to use his seat belt. And wait for it...all the police guy did was make my passenger aware and warn him..didn't even ask for the legal penalty due..Nigerian police are there harassing and killing as if they are not human beings. |
Without Buhari, am sure no one will be talking about fighting corruption...everyone will be OK with GEJ and goats and yams... |
capsie18:Seems like one way out is to make them produce a passport for you in Nigeria. If you had your passport and loose it while in Nigeria they will have to get you one. |
For many weeks the U.K. Nigeria house website had those that their passports are ready for collection as those told to collect on or before October 13, 2016. Today, Feb 3 2017, the date on the website has changed to Oct. 14 2016! Hopefully they are not stamping them with a renewal date of the appointment day - otherwise a passport for 5 yrs can only be used for just over 4 years if it takes almost half a year to produce!!! |
doubletroublmum:Hmm...thanks doubletroublmum, I almost thought Uk is the only European country/member . So this is the likely situation in many other places. Not good at all.If I were to be Saraki/GEJ/OBJ or Buhari's relative am sure it won't take 5 months to have someone crawl on his hands all the way from UK to Abuja and back with my freshly minted Nigerian passport. |
It takes a wait of 4 months or even more to collect a new passport after your renewal appointment/visit to the Nigerian consulate in London. It is unheard of in any other part of the world. You wonder what the problems are that they can not be resolved easily in this tech age. Or is the consulate basically unaccountable and there is nobody or team that can take some responsibility to resolve the issues they may have? Of course I can hear people sarcastically proffer that you should always make sure your appointment is scheduled for at least 4 months before you need your Nigerian passport. But really, it is 2017 - do we have to accept this mediocrity and live like it is the 1980s? I may be wrong - things were probably better then- I can not confidently conjure up a worse time for Nigerians resident in UK to renew their passports. The UK Nigerian consulate seems to be oblivious of effects this has on their citizens. I have just checked their website below, today Jan 22, 2017 and the regularly updated "High commission News" section says those that their passports are ready are those that should have collected by October 13, 2016. Surely the Nigerian consulate in the U.K. can do better. http://www.nigeriahc.org.uk |
hmmm..this article and the linked origin website cites ZERO sources...and people are lapping it up a la fake news.. |


.....

. So this is the likely situation in many other places. Not good at all.
