It's a welcome development.
Almost one trillion for census too much.
..census is not the solution to Nigeria problems..the solution is for the federal government to provide constant electricity light, appreciate and strengthen the naira against the dollars, make the price of fuel, disel to be cheap, create a conducive environment for bussinesses companies industries to thrive so that jobs can be created for the youths and nigerians and it will also attract foreign investments, mechanized farming, rural, villages communities development, repair ,rehabilitate upgrade the federal roads in bad conditions, rehabilitate upgrade the the government schools and hospitals in Nigeria...the 2006 census that was done what solution has it brought to Nigeria till now ..see how bad the situation of the country is now

942 billion to conduct a census! Remain small, they want a trillion naira to count the number of people in the country with a view to do what with the figures?

Awww... Let just count the number of Nigerians for counting sake... Oohhhh... Make sure you count the people in the North twice cos we need to keep up the facade that the North is densely populated... The only country in earth that claims majority of the population lives in arid lands.

Then we use the population figures for nothing

Buhari allocated money for same census
What happens to that money?

Budget allocation and budget performance (money released) are two different kettles of fish!

If you allocate 10k of a budgeted 100k income to data, and your income come drop to 89k your budget performance for data no go change?!

What you just wrote is absolutely correct. You and I know they will never do it because it would not allow them to steal funds if they can channel all the funds to such projects.
They would rather embark on nonsense projects.

Another insider at the meeting further revealed that Tinubu suggested a massive deployment of NYSC members nationwide to cut personnel costs.

“He was even suggesting that they recruit youth corps members to make it cheaper,” the official revealed

National population commission no get staff wey de collect salary? So they cannot mobilize their staff to do the job? Just pay them extra allowance stipend They can use corners as extra hand so just deploy more corpers to the agency and also give them small allowance. The money canny pass 1billion.

Honestly, this is the reason regional government is important because...if there is adequate structure in the country...all these data could have been collected at birth...I have yet to see some of these developing or developed countries come out and say that they wanted to have a census program...this is the Stone Age program during the time of King David in the Bible.

With enough IT systems, all of this data could be collected at some point, but some people in the country refuse to grow, so the emir's country must wait for them to experience such development in order to catch up with global trends and development.
I am concerned for future generations, who will suffer as a result.

But you and I know the normal age that a child is allowed to start school in western world is 5. Fact check. It's only in Nigeria patents do push children to start school early cuz the system is not regulated like the west.

For you to finish secondary at 17 means, you jumped classes and got everything on a platter of gold. That's what they do in private schools. They will pass you even though you didn't merit it, just to show parents that you are doing well. You finished too early.

But for us, we went through the process step by step. We were not spoonfed to jump classes or pass to the next. The main hard work is in government owned schools where they will teach you what it means to work hard.

That's why till date, I will prefer my child to go to a federal university to have a taste of how hard the outside world is. So he or shed won't grow up as a soft child who will easily chicken out of every little challenges he or she may encounter in life.

I know the school age of the west.

I was not spoon fed, I've never attended private school in my life. I wasn't born privileged, I grew up in a village and as that time there was no school in my village. We walked 2+ hours to nearest government school "close" to us. We left daily as early as 5am, got school 7am and had to sweep the school, fetched the headmaster water, sweep his compound and do chore for him. Those days headmaster have their residence within the school and only go their home on weekends because of distance.

I started school at 5 and the criteria then, you'll have to crossed your hand above your head and let your fingers touched your ear.

I didn't repeat class nor jump any.

There was nothing like jumping class during my era, you fail you repeat. It doesn't matter how many years you repeat.

If what you wrote here is true, then you are among the few that can withstand the challenges of life.

Any way, as for me, I failed up to 2 times and repeated primary 1 twice before I picked up. I can remember when after exam, they will fix a day to call results.

They will call first position, second position, third position till the last position and I won't hear my name. I will start to cry. It was the third time that I picked up and I became one of the best in my class.

I picked up that momentum till primary 6. Wrote my primary 6 exam and started Jss1 in the year 2001.

In government schools, no body really send anybody. If you fail you fail.

Looking back, it was a memorable journey.

You bring back the memories of calling results, we use to call it "Judgement Day" the most tense days during school days 😂
A lot of tears those days because you'll cry in school and still cry at home if you fail. ( The crying at home isn't because of beating, but because mocking by your siblings and friends)

I was lucky to always be among top 3, can still remember gifts (mostly pen/pencil and books 😂)

School was fun, not what we have these days. There was nothing like lunch money for us, during break we go into bush in search of fruits, palm canel and sometimes raw cassava 😂... After school, we head to the stream.

Chaii. Things have really changed a lot. I was not given pocket money even when I got to junior secondary school.

Gen Z generation are enjoying now.

When you look at all those experiences, they teach us one thing: resilience, perseverance and humble beginnings.
