Travel / Re: Nigerian Lady Compares Cost Of Living In Nigeria And The U.S. by zirrah: 7:50pm On Aug 16, 2023
Why didn't you add minimum wage comparison?
MrBroke:
Nigerian lady has compared the cost of living in Nigeria and the U.S., and thereafter, asked Nigerians which of the countries offers better or cheaper standard of living.

In her post, the lady said the cost of buying a full tank of petrol in Houston, Texas is $45 compared to Nigeria where she put the figure at N45, 000. She went on to state that the cost of renting a two bedroom apartment in Houston a year is "$9, 600" as against the "N2 million" one would need to get a decent one in Nigeria. She also compared the cost of purchasing food, internet services, monthly wage earnings as well as home security between Nigerians and their counterparts in the U.S.

To tge extent of arresting a police man
And who gave the Hisbah police legal backing? So because of Amotekun you remember that Nigeria is being governed by constitution yet Islam is also allowed by the same Nigerian constitution to form its own paramilitary police in a secular state that assault Christians as well?

Events / Re: Man Who Resides Abroad Rides Keke To His Wedding In Enugu (Photos) by zirrah: 7:09pm On Oct 11, 2018
Same also here from AUN:
In Yola, Nigerian-American marriage celebrated with Keke
August 11, 2018Daniel Okereke
Maigalia & Danielle 1
Maigalia & Danielle 1
What God joins together in Yola, let no one put asunder!

It was a special day on Saturday, August 4, when members of the AUN community witnessed the joining together in holy matrimony of two of their own. Danielle Villasana married Maigalisa Yohanna in front of a delightful crowd of relations, friends, and associates.

And from all corners of the globe, they came to support this adorable duo. Danielle’s dad and her friends; Maigalisa’s community from Taraba state, led by the traditional ruler who came with his cabinet; family, friends and a strong contingent of uniformed EYN Church congregates. The wedding organization was exceptionally well coordinated.

The weather was clement; Yola lived up to its hospitable reputation. What makes Yola unique, by way of introduction, is more than the enchanting scenery of adulating hills in far sight; it is the enthusiastic smile of its people.

Home to a global community, Yola’s most apposite symbol of integration, the American University of Nigeria campus, hosted this very colorful wedding ceremony last Saturday. You missed a lot if you weren’t there. No video recording or retold tales, not even this short account, would compensate.

If Danielle and Maigalisa decided to tie the knot “where it all started” as a statement of modesty, the wedding itself was a pointer to their immaculate, meticulous approach to little details.

The brief solemnization ceremony, the sermon, exchange of pleasantries, reception, cutting of the cake, dances and camera clicks, seemed timed with perfection. And when they chose to ride in a Keke Napep for the short distance from the wedding venue to reception, this couple completely wowed the crowd.

Danielle was both star and sunshine of the occasion. Exquisitely outfitted in a one of kind gown with handmade embroidery from Kaduna, tailored with the assistance of the groom’s sister Nuba, she was gorgeously cute but not ostentatious.

You get the impression her dress sense is influenced more by common sense than worldly care. She exuded a chief celebrant’s infectious joie de vivre and delivered a hostess’ class act of her own, hugging friends and her new family. What was going on in her mind at those moments?

Was it like a fast-pacing reel of photographic imagery she captured in dreamland? Danielle radiated grace, poise, and style with the cheerful mien of a woman in love who is determined to live a rewarding life of freedom, joy, and the fullest expression, on her own terms.




Maigalisa opted for groomed blue and sky-blue tops with matching trousers. Shy and introverted, he’s the proud smart boy from Northeast Nigeria who is even more pleased that his adorable wife cherishes the authenticity of his cultural roots.

Danielle’s entourage included her friends. They too were generous with lavish smiles. Their sartorial choices – boldly colorful, playful and culturally pertinent – would wow the fashion editor of their favorite magazines.

They blended into the local background. They were the cynosure of all eyes. If they carried the burden of representation, they discharged same with admirable gait.

Maigalisa & Danielle 2
Danielle, stunning and beautiful, is an American native and faculty who taught photography at AUN’s Communications and Multimedia Design program. Her heartthrob, Maigalisa, is the IT solutions provider everybody would hire if they owned Alphabet or Weibo.

Danielle is outgoing, cheerful, extroverted and captures the sunny side of life through her lenses. Maigalisa minds his business, and rarely smiles other than when the football team he passionately supports, Real Madrid, is winning.

At the AUN Community Hall on Saturday, Danielle and Maigalisa fused into one family unit, inseparable. The couple met here at AUN, unofficially Nigeria’s most beautiful university campus, fell in love and returned to commit to married life. You couldn’t make up this stuff for Nollywood.

I remember once teasing Ms. Danielle about being a Texas native, a Red American state, in a deliberate attempt to provoke her to debate her country’s iron-wall ideological divide, but she just laughed it off.

Last Saturday, on her wedding day, Danielle showed her true self. She does not see humanity in red or blue shades; her humanity is painted in bold strokes of multi colors.

The marriage of this beloved couple is not merely a milestone in the lives of two beautiful young professionals. It presents a paradigm of symphonic calmness in these troubled times when there is a global backlash against persons who look different than us.

“We all know that people are the same wherever you go,” British pop icon Paul McCartney and American superstar Steve Wonder, sang, prophetically, in their 1982 hit song: Ebony and Ivory.




Last Saturday in Yola, at the AUN Community Hall, we witnessed it. We believe it. Danielle’s handsome dad who came all the way from the United States to give his lovely daughter away in marriage may have picked his words prudently, but he did a poor job hiding his excitement.

MegaDanielle pulled us back from a loathing world to the enduring power of love. In the end, however, MegaDanielle was not a statement in political correctness, it is the story of love between two beautiful people who met and married in Yola, the Land of beauty.

Due to the high rate of sexual harassment in our universities, I guess there should be an agency or body to report to.

You wont understand this until your sister, fiancee or even friend goes through it. Students die in silence with fear of failing if the speak out.

Don't say "School Authority" because they are all in this together.


Please any useful infomation??

Report it to the ASUU disciplinary committee if you have a branch in your school.

Politics / Dino’s Certificate Saga: See How The Dean Students’ Affair Of ABU Commented by zirrah: 5:04pm On Mar 23, 2017
the truth have finally started coming out! You guys should believe this, that is exactly what happened. So the Exam officer may not be privy to Dino's graduation...

Dino is a graduate of ABU Zaria. I do not like him but the campaign of calumny and falsehood against him must stop. I recalled a meeting with the then VC, chief security officer Mallam Ashiru and the Dean Student affairs Doctor Tanimu. At the meeting it was resolved that all policially exposed students and unionist must be graduated for peace to reign in ABU. The VC started by asking me the SECGEN ABUSUG when am I supposed to graduate? I told him I was only in 4 hundred level law then, he then asked after so many other commrades like Anslem, Chris, Ochums, Arokoyo, Ribadu, Renshaw, Kamal, Ntom, SB, Bright, Ganzi, Kombitel, Realman, Kurfi, Kabir Mustspha, Tijani Kabir(refused to graduate and 8 years later became NANS president), Precious Abdul, MB Mustspha, Dino etc……he gave a marching order that the Dean student affairs must ensure that our types are promptly graduated and leave the school in peace and in good time. Refering to all the so called elders and Unionist of ABU then. The case of Elder Dino as he then was, was even the worst. In truism Dino never wanted to graduate from ABU. He was benefiting handsomely and almost feeding from Unionism like many Unionist, he deliberately keep having carry overs so as to remain in ABU against the orders of the VC. Trust the smart VC Mahdi, he ensured that Dino swiftly pass all his carry overs, when Dino resisted that move by the VC, he was told by the Dean that the University has the power to pass and graduate any of it students if they are satisfy that such a student has attained sufficient learning or good character standing(whether he actually pass all his papers or not). In Dino’s case , the emphasis was placed on his good character and not necessarily the waived passing.

I repeat, Dino is a bonifide graduate of ABU Zaria, Department of Geography and Faculty of Social Science. He has his genuine transcript and certificate. He might have been exempted from NYSC as he was an adult even when in school.

Bar. Ahmed Tanimu
Dean of student ABU Zaria

Wait patiently and make sure u arrest him immediately he leaves office as governor.
Give us pictures of documents and all to back up your claim.
I'm sick and tired of all these media propaganda to distract us from pressing burning national issues.

How did they arrive at the conclusion that the money paid to Ozekhome was actually from the proceed of Dansuki loot?

What evidence do they have to back up their claim?

Is it illegal to pay for "professional" services rendered and how will one offering such service know about the source of income.

EFCC is grasping at straws because this case is DOA!


P.S- For those gullible people quoting me,I urge you to employ your brain.Read the full article and then think before you jump blindly into conclusion.
I really can't understand this crap efcc is doing! I learnt also that lecturers from MAUTech Yola are being asked by the agency to refund the allowances paid to them for their participation in the 2015 general elections. claiming that it is also from Dasuki looooot.....

LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS (PART 1)

Dear All- Let's be real.

I wish to start by adding the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK. Living in Abuja now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves – including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there – regardless of how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same – except status – conscious Nigerians.

I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel. To my amazement, he said that his young children travel in the economy class – even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK. No other foreign students do this. There is no aircraft attached to the office of the Prime Minister in the UK. He travels on BA. And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use.

These practices simply become the culture which the next generation carries forward. Have you seen the car that Kate Middleton (the wife of Prince William) drives? VW Golf or something close to it. But there’s one core difference between them and us (generally speaking), they (even the billionaires among them) work for their money, most of us steal ours

If we want our children to bring about the desired change we have been praying for on behalf of our dear country, then please, please let’s begin now and teach them to work hard so they can stand alone and most importantly be content and not having to “steal” which seems to be the norm these days.

We have Nigerian Children who have never worked for 5 minutes in their lives insisting on flying “only” first or business class and using the latest cars fully paid for by their “loving“ parents.

I often get calls from anxious parents” my son graduated 2 years ago and is still looking for a job, can you please assist!”

“Oh really! So where exactly is “THIS CHILD?” is my usual question. “Why are you the one making this call dad/mum?"

I am yet to get a satisfactory answer, but between you and i, chances are that the big boy is cruising around Abuja with a babe dressed to the nines, in his dad’s sparkling new SUV with enough “pocket money” to put your salary to shame. It is not at all strange to hear a 28 year old who has NEVER worked for a day in his or her life in Nigeria but “earns” a six figure “salary” from parents for doing absolutely nothing.

I see them in my office once in a while, 26 years old with absolutely no skill to sell apart from a shiny CV, written by his dad’s secretary in the office. Of course, he has a driver at his beck and call and he is driven to the job interview. We have a fairly decent conversation and we get to the inevitable question- so, what salary are you looking to earn? Answer comes straight out – N250,000.00. I ask if that is per month or per annum.

“Of course, it is per month”

“Oh, why do you think you should be earning that much on your first job?”

“Well, because my current pocket money is N200,000.00 and I feel any employer should be able to pay me more than my parents.”

No wonder corruption continues to thrive. We have a society of young people who have been brought up to expect something for nothing, as if it were a birthright. Even though the examples I have given above are from parents of considerable affluence, similar patterns can be observed from Abeokuta to Adamawa.

Wake up mum! Wake up dad! This syndrome – “my children will not suffer what I suffered" is destroying your tomorrow. You are practically loving your child to death.

I learnt the children of a former Nigeria Head of State with all the stolen (billions) monies in their custody, still go about with security escort as wrecks. They are on drugs, several time because of the drug, they collapse in public places. The escort will quickly pack them and off they go. What a life! No one wants to marry them.

Henry Ford said “hard work does not kill.” We are getting everything wrong in Nigeria now, including family setting. It is time to prepare your children for tomorrow, the way the world is going, only those that are rugged, hard working and smart working that will survive. How will your ward fare?

Please forward this to all the parents you know and love. We must begin to save our young children from unintended consequences of "too much love" and weak parenting. It is the only way we can build a strong and decent Nigeria.

you said it all, its abject paucity of parenting skills
