Don't be too harsh on the school.

There are schools and there are schools.

Take a look at the school buildings roof.

Where is the school located?

What kind of community is it situated in?

How many students are registered in the school?

How many of them are feeling paying students?

So many questions to be answered......!

This is most sensible comment I read here. You can't just blame school withiout knowing what you stated above.

Salary capacity of a school depends largely on its standard and location. Contrary to popular believes, some schools are even running at lost these days.

Jokers.

Who fix a date for a protest and succeeded with it?

The real organic protest will start withiout any announcements, and it going to happen soon. We are heading towards a point where no one will tell the next person before staging a massive protest.

EvilMerodack:



The US having a female President is gonna set bad precedent for World powers and their wannabes(China,Russia alike no be UK, Germany o)

Its the hardest thing to wrap my head around. I wish history can skip this

Lolz, you think this is Nigeria or African countries where all institutions are barely functions withiout direction of president.

It is so unfortunate that any program from the government is only made to favour tiny percentage of civil servants. This one too won't be different as the government is too lazy to think of how those outside their payroll will also benefit.

My organization went to an Urhobo Community near Ughelli for a sensitization programme and we went to a school.

The kids were something else.

Too Dull and had very poor assimilation of simple sentences and examples.
When you say 'The boy was hit by a car', you need it to explain and explain.

During Break, I saw them bringing out Nylon Palm Oil Rice, Madiga, Bongafish, etc to eat
and I suspected 'Could this be the cause of their academic struggles'?

because Chilren in Urban areas with their Cornflakes, Golden Morn, Indomie and Fried Eggs feeding were clearly better.

So DOES FOOD INFLUENCE A CHILD'S IQ DEVELOPMENT? 🤔
.

I am not sure because I have see poor men's kids who are very brilliant, and I have also seen rich men kids that are not really brilliant.

But the one I can confidently say, is genetic factor. If one or both of the parents are very brilliant, there is tendency that their children would be so brilliant with little or good educational background.

I always know Reno Omokri is a manipulative creature.

Most of his followers don't even know he was married previously to another woman.

The words in quotes were very suspicious when I read them.

"My mother spoiled me. And I thought spoiling was over for me. Then, I married my wife and got another mother, a pure met-at-home lover. A woman who does not know how to quarrel".

So you transited from your mother to your current wife just like that? See how he deliberately chose to paint like he was not married before.

He has hidden his current wife from social media for many years.

Wife beater wey dey form table shaker.

Coward!! Na for woman you dey flex muscle.

What does concluding part of his Ex- wife post suggest to you? Some of you are still single or just lack wisdom to know that any woman that chose not to be control by her husband can never be a good wife.

The genesis of marital crisis could be easily trace to lack of submissiveness on the side of women. Example is this Reno ex wife judging by the last paragraph of her post.

Hemanwel:
The poster 2 steps above me: aren't you the one who reports the most bad news on this forum? This statistics shake you too? E dur red be that oh!

BTW:

I have said it before: is this how the citizens will sit and watch one drug baron destroy everything our heroes past have laboured to build? We must act o!

What useless heroes are you talking about?

They are as useless and corrupt as today politicians, just that Nigerians were still very ignorant about nations affairs back then. Aside that, only few people depends on government or live in the cities, majority produced almost all they eat, and their wants/needs are quite limited compare to nowadays.

Nigeria has not been blessed with visionary leaders since its inception.

Kickkick:
So I'm trying to take the bold step as a man who has come of age and want to do the needful.

First, I want to create familiarity with my fiancee's family especially the mother and father. I already know the sisters and some cousins.

So what little gift do you suggest I should buy and gift to them via my fiancee, pending when to unveil myself properly?

I'll appreciate your kind suggestions.

Let me give you these pieces of advises.

1. Except if you are paying them a visit, and want to buy something along with a little cash, don't try to show yourself where you are not asked. Except they are dire need of help, and it come directly from your fiancee, don't do it.

2. Don't ever be familiar with your inlaw no matter how nice they are. Be good to them but don't try to create over familiarity. Women can do that to a greater extent but not really healthy for men.

3. Withhold any plan you have to assist them for now, until you marry their daughter. And if you must help them now, let it be through your fiancee and not you directly.

Marriage come with alot of responsibilities, you might think you have enough cash to throw around now but when the stress and responsibility later pile up for you in the marriage, and you are unable to help or give them attention again, you may become their sworn enemy. And trust me, there would be alot of demands and responsibility you won't be able to cope with if you make a mistake of being too familiar with them now. Like I said before, be good to them through their daughter only.

What is the essence of revoving fuel and Dollar subsidy when you have to increase minimum wage?

The problem of this government is that, they act before they think, and when they begin to realise their mistakes, they become too arrogance to stop or reverse it.

It very easy for them now that Dangote refinery has started production to subsidise fuel withiout fear of saboteurs and bring fuel back to #250 per litre. They must as a matter of urgency subsidise dollar too and bring it back to around #700.

Failure to do this may lead to totally economic breakdown and bloody revolution.

idolda:
Scam alert!

We are back to square one again! Dangote wants to help them continue the Subsidy scam and this is bad for the market. He simply wants to be the sole beneficiary of subsidy!

Can subsidy be a scam under just one supplier? I don't think so.

Once Government know the daily consumption of Nigerians through his sole supply, they can easily determine the average supply daily and subsidise.

Hemanwel:
Austin Eguaveon was handling the Super Eagles at a time. After a poor run of results, he was sacked and Pesseiro was brought in. Now, we are back to Eguaveon. Like, what's wrong with Nigeria gan gan sef??

You go explain tire.

The earlier we all realise that Eguaveon is one of those that will never make Nigeria football team get good coaches and results, the better for us. Ever since that man has been serving as technical director at glass house, we never get good things from the super Eagle.

chicfarmer:
Osho should apologize. This one no follow atall

Nothing is wrong with his statement if the one made by Edo first lady is true.

You don't say that an influential man, a political party gubernatorial candidate is wifeless at this crucial time and think people will keep quiet. By that statement, she's indirectly telling people he is an irresponsible man who doesn't fit to become a governor. It was attack on his private life.

Let remove personal abuse from political game.

dkidd:
There's nowhere U can't get good water to drink except it's expensive than it usually is maybe due to scarcity. Be like typhoid fever never nack U before na why U dey run mouth or maybe ur system is just so used to it so U nor know when U dey even sick sef

There is this adage that says, a man that had never experienced a real fight will always think he is a strong man.

The day I found myself where there is non except one stupid sachet water and well water is the day I knew you can practically drink or eat anything if nothing else is available . We drank and ate what we would not have Ordinarily taking for good 3 days. At the end of the day, nothing happened to any of us.

My point is that, no one will intentionally eat or drink what is not good to his/her system, it is situation that mostly compelled people to do so. So, if someone is boasting he/she can't drink or eat this, just know that the person only saying this because he has the resources or means of getting it.

Odingo1:
Hausa don’t cheat because of their religion there is no much freedom in Islam and their is high tendency of killing the woman according to sharia, make it free for them, the result maybe higher. For Yorubas, they still practice much polygamy thereby having high tendency of infidelity. For Igbos, some of their ladies will fall for money even in marriage.

It would've made sense if you say majority of them don't know the meaning or importance of DNA test or simply not interested.

Every tribe has cheaters or adulterous women in large number, this statistics doesn't make sense at all, especially by the fact that it was conducted majorly in Lagos.

folake4u:
Funny enough, I have a friend that reacts badly to sachet water. She only drinks Nestlé bottled water.

Lolz, I have grown to realise that anyone can drink or eat anything if the preferred choices are not available. Won't she drink water if she find herself where there is no Nestle bottle water or any bottle water. We only creates all this in our imaginations only if we have the resources to fulfil them.

nairalanda1:
Well, on the other hand, deploying advanced tech is going to cost billions of dollars in money we do not have.

Remember, smuggling is not just tankers, it's hunderds of little people

Countries that subsidise like Nigeria have tried everything to stop smuggling. Even saudi...that could afford such surveilance....can't do it too

YOu guys also seem to think Nigeria is rich. It is not, it is a poor broke ass country, and that's why you have bad government, like this current one.

Yet, in your fevered brain, ye think I am defending government.

Nigeria is not rich but billions upon billions of naira and dollars are being stole every second? Nigeria is not rich but her leaders are living extravagantly with reckless abandoned? Do you even know how much of billions of naira Nigeria is spending on non functioning refineries and many other non existing agencies in a single month?

Your kind are the reason these useless God forsaken leaders keep mismanaged our resources. Engaging you a critical national issue is a waste of time because you seem to know only what they make you believe.

I don't blame you anyway, that is how a typical Nigerian behaved. They normally don't see anything wrong if the system is benefiting them or still dependent.

nairalanda1:


Someone has spoken the cold hard truth.

Etiher we sell fuel above the landing cost, or we will continue to feed the smugglers free money and free cash.

And before you come and start shouting 'Why can't government stop the smugglers...ask the Saudis, Venezuelans, Angolans, Iranians and especially Libya why they can't stop smuggling too? Are they run by Nigerian leaders?

I mean, I buy fuel at below N700 and then cross the border and sell that thing at N1400 or more. TELL ME, won't you be able to come home , bribe the customs men and women, and police, and civil defence, AND STILL MAKE A FAKKING PROFIT.


Yet at the end, most Nigerians say we should keep fuel below the landing cost because ;poverty. Yet these people won't do the same for their businesses because.....poverty.

If you want to end smuggling, etc, etc....STOP KEEPING SUBSIDY, AND FACE THE EFFING REALITY.

And if you think this makes me an APC supporter, you are either mad, or sick in the head.

What about deploying advance technology to combat oil thief and smuggling? What about punishing corrupt custom officials to serve a lesson to others? What about hiring a machineries services to monitor our borders?

That was the same excuses before they remove the subsidy, but look at the country today. To even think that this useless government removed fuel subsidy with absolutely no impact on economy says alot about the policy.

Keep supporting the useless government, the monster you keep petting today may swallow you tomorrow.

blowjohn:
But he will be paid while on bench ba?
No wahala.


But Napoli will not smell another cup for the next 10 years or more

Dey play, Conte is a serial winner, and having Lukaku in their squad is a significant boost to their title challenge.

Osimhen made a silly mistake by not accepting that lucrative contract offered by Saudi club instantly. Chelsea is no longer a big team, so why wasted his time and allow them to ridicule him with low offer. He still have few year left at his peak, he can come back to Europe after two seasons and join any semi elite team in top five league.

Exousiang01:
Typical black
He has gone chasing the money Instead if frocusing on the glory, they dont know the glory will also bring the money

If I were in his shoes, I will take the same decision. He still have few years left at the peak of his career, so the possibility of coming back to Europe after a season or two is very high. Besides, joining a middle table/conference league team like Chelsea is not but a total waste of opportunity to earn income that could sustain him till rest of his life.

Aside being glorify by Nigeria or Africa base fans, nothing is special about playing in Europe when you can play for a team with best facility and pays elsewhere.

Unfortunately, this is what Tinubu has always looking for. I am 100% certain the North will never vote another Southerner who may grown wings and start nurturing for second term.

I just pray things turn around better. We are probably stuck with APC till 2031.

CyrusVI:


The writer made it seems like this wave is the biggest ever in the history of Nigeria. Well, maybe it

I just the checked the population Emigration index(World Migration Report)using the U.N data report as the reference and i saw that Nigeria isnt even among the top15 and when u consider the percentage of leaving thr country, its less than 5% in Nigeria.


Whatever the fear of this writes is, like eroding Cultural identity and "dismantling" Family cohesion are a personal thing thats should be addressed as a family unit and do not pose any threat to us as a people on a larger scale

Writes used some scanty and hard-to-verify instances of his friends to arrive at this condition and thats renders the whole write-up a fallacy and baseless fear

Don't look at it from that angle but quality of people leaving the country.

Japa these days is very expensive, and is for the rich and higher middle class that contribute immensely to our economy development. Have you also consider the fact that majority of our highly professionals with best brains are leaving the country?

And what do you think would be of Nigeria faith if those who are meant to use their brains or wealth to develop it are all gone?

Tallesty1:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is why I laugh at women who, instead of working on their stubbornness, say they will find a man that can "handle" them.

Who told you that a man wants to handle you? The last lady I asked out did something similar.

We vibed well, I took her out once, then invited her over, and it was at my place that I told her what I wanted. She straight up said "na."

I said okay, we're good, and that was it.

We gisted a bit more, I saw her off, and when she got home, she texted me, "Are you angry?" I said, "na," but that was it for me.

It wasn’t even the rejection that was the issue, but how it was said. If you want to play hard to get, at least drop hints that you're interested, otherwise, I'll assume you're playing "never gonna happen."

Later she told me I had everything on a platter of gold but wasn’t man enough to take it.

Ladies don’t realize how stressed the average Nigerian guy is already, and then you add unnecessary hard to get on top of it.

I will pass abeg.

You don't know when a girl is forming hard and when she don't want to look cheap to you. Understanding the both will help you alot in dating game. So you want a girl to sleep with you in her first visit to your house? Only wayward or Olosho girls do that please.

A girl that don't want anything to do with you will never come to your house. You were the one that failed to specify what you expect from her if she come. If you want just sex from a girl, you tell her before she come, if she still chose to come after that, then you win, because the possibility of accepting you at first visit is slim, infact you shouldn't attempt such at first visit if you want your dignity intact.

helinues:
The same government policies are favouring some people. Life is not one straight road

Go and sit down my friend.

Some of you dont know when to be rational while defending a government. Majority counted in any democratic society, so in a situation where majority of the masses cannot feed themselves or at least live a moderate living is quite pathetic and should not be applaud by any rational being. Go and verify, the said few people his policies are favouring are those using the opportunity to exploit others. Have you ever ask yourself why a filling station will buy fuel at less than #700 per litre but refuse to sell until the artificial scarcity he created push up the price? I am sure you will say the policies is favouring them too?

Tinubu policies is bad, and will never move this country forward. Any country that want to experience a meaningful development must first take her humans resources serious and not capital projects. Africans are at that cross roads. Majority of our leaders (both past and present) are hopelessly daft, and I wonder why they keep failing to emulate people who introduce democracy or modern societies to them.

Make foods and health services abundantly available for almost free and see massive productive Africans. This is the secret of developed countries that our dumb unfortunate selfish ignorant leaders fail to copy.

Ayokequeen:
But it's actually 34pcs so divide it by 7,500 Naira. It's 220/pcs.

The plantain of this size are sold at 3pcs for 1k, so I think the price is still fair.

Too expensive, ripe ones of this size are now sold 5 for 1k in Ibadan. We are almost in plantain season, and the price is coming down from now till next year January.

This bunch should be around 5k.

Oghene86:
Which powerful 💪 and his lawmakers are jobless, only good at doing damage control from the media, come to Rivers State and ask he is gone, a man without a base is not has powerful as it stands, Fubara is just a gentleman if not you would have seen how powerful he is. That office in Abuja is his saving grace, but for Rivers State forget Wike

If he is not powerful, then how was he able to remain in PDP while still serving as minister under APC? Do you think PDP would have spared any other person dare to do so?

What do you expect Fubara to do other than what he has been doing? Do you think governor too has no limit in exercising power within a state?

CyrusVI:
The abuse isnt necessary

I have come to realize that logical Christians tend to see religious extremists as dullards while the Atheists think both of them have lower IQ


History, Tech and Nature have being fair enough to us.

There are poor Theists and rich Theists, same way there are poor Atheists and rich Atheists

There are also highly intelligent Scientists/inventors that are Theists, We have such who are Atheists too

So, if u think you are any better than anyone just cause they think or believe differently, trust me, you're the dullest in the world

You are right but the most intelligent people are those that believe in reality and nature. Nature give you idea of existence of forces beyond the physical realm.

Intelligent people don't believe in religion but reality and nature. Atheists think they are smart but can't explain why they see their physical being in dreams while asleep. Regions on the other hands are man made tradition, which doesn't in anyway represent or filled vacuum between reality and myths.

This man is so powerful that some people don't know. Since I have been following Nigeria politics, no politician has ever serve in a government that is belong to opposition and still maintain his influence in his own party.

This could be a bate by some Northern politicians to make Obi donate or fund their group in the state. Local government election doesn't work that way, it normally all about mobilisation and consultation of local groups and market women.

People hardly come out to vote except they are giving reason to vote.
