Like Triplets
I hear their mother is still alive

Her Husband was one of Balewa's Ministers
Her oldest son Gen Shehu Musa Yaradua was Military Deputy President to Obasanjo
Her second son was Umar Yaradua was President of Nigeria
This son is a Senator

Their Mother is a Living Museum of Nigerian History

I hear she is almost 100

Wow! A documentary needs to be done on her, while she's still alive. She's practically the mother of the nation at this point.

We need a leader like Sadam Hussain in thus country m. If the oil pipes in any community are vandalised in anyway, the WHOLE community is serverly punished. The nonsense would end very fast.

Only people who do care for the long term stability and prosperity of Nigeria, will applaud these sectional appointments. There will be a northern president at some point in the future who will do the same thing. Ultimately it is the nation that suffers

The Yardua blood is strong. The men all look alike

Nobody will take the Yorubas seriously from a military point of view, as long as a Yoruba city, Ilorin, is ruled by an Emir. Sort that first before making any threats

It must be really terrible in the UK presently. Are things really that bad? Including for old timers like you?

P.S. You registered in 2005. You na big man o

My brother we thank God!
When you've got experience in your field, you will be ok. I can't complain. Old timers with experience are getting by. It's really hard for the newcomers, especially those without good skills. That's why I am trying to advise people, to at the very least, be careful and get detailed information, before selling all they have to come and suffer in the UK. I understand Nigeria is very rough sha, it's not easy at all.

This has to be fake news. No central bank governor, anywhere in the world can achieve a set exchange rate. Exchange rate is a function of demand and supply

Postinor:
what about pharmacist are they needed

I know there was a large demand a few years back. Not sure how much the demand is now. You can email NHS Jobs to enquire. nhsbsa.nhsjobs@nhsbsa.nhs.uk

tyup:


These are words a Fool will likely say. At least in Nigeria, no matter how unemployed you can be, you go fit get where to lay head, eat at least once or saka for one village mai u dey chop free food from Villagers.

Who wan dey show u that kin love for UK?? If you're homeless cuz you're outta cash can you enjoy sleeping on the street with blasting cold?? Do you even have the slightest idea what frostbite is?? how bout hypothermia or nosebleed??

Most of y'all ignorant folks like this are mostly those who don't know how an Airport looks like and have loosed touch with reality

Louder for those at the back of the class!!

Love800:
Which business u wan do for naija?
Policies in naija cant help one to start a business here. Especially all those "SME business" they will not see the daylight of the business.

Abeg talk another thing.

So you would rather come and be unemployed in the UK? All I am saying is if you must leave Nigeria that's fine, but don't come to the UK unless you are a skilled worker. find another country like the US or Canada to Japa to

jazzman7711:


SHUT UP, YOU SLAVE.

UK IS HELL FOR MANY PEOPLE NOW.

BEGGARS EVERYWHERE ON THE STREET ASKING FOR ''SPARE CHANGE'.

JUST SHUT UP THERE. IDIOT!

IT'S BECAUSE OF THIS OVERHYPING THAT MANY NIGERIANS ARE THERE NOW STRANDED, WITH NO JOBS AFTER SELLING THEIR PROPERTIES IN NIGERIA.

ASSHOLE!!

My brother thanks for calling the poster out. We really need to spread the word about the REALITY of the UK, You could actually be saving a life The depression I've seen in many of the recent Japa people is not a joke at all. Especially the married ones. I know Nigeria is rough, I get it, but people need to understand the reality of the UK.

Borrow222:


The way you guys stay in Nigeria and analyse things is very funny.

Oga UK is 100m times better than Nigeria.

You are the one who is very funny my guy

I am here in the UK and doing very fine, I know the system inside out. I can't count how many people me and my friends have recently had to help. Japa people who have found themselves broke, some not even able to eat. The other day we had to go and give one lady pots and plates as her house was totally empty and she could not afford anything.
Its people like you that sadly give many Nigerians a false picture of the UK. If you read my post again, I never said the UK is not better than Nigeria, or that some people can't make it here. What I said very clearly is that the UK is NOT FOR EVERYONE. If you do not have in-demand skills you will find it very very difficult to have a sataisfying life here. That is just a fact

ttmacoy:
Many Nigerians really abused the care worker scheme in the UK. Some charging up to £10k to sponsor their fellow Nigerians and then they don’t have work for them or give them 10 hours a week, meanwhile the poor person is unable to legally work for another organization because they are tied by work permit.

And they have sold property, borrowed money etc to find this. By the time they pay £10k for certificate of sponsorship, pay for visa fees and NHS fees they are probably spending over £20k to end up with a shitty job with shitty wages or worse not even enough hours to pay basic bills.

On top of all that the pay for care workers is rubbish especially when you consider the work involved.

I know many Nigerians who went to UK on student visa for masters, MBA etc who can only get care work after graduation.

We really need to spread the word, to those planning to Japa to the UK. Its just not worth it. With half the money you can start a business in Nigeria tht will be much more profitable in the long run. The UK is simply not the country to come and hustle. If you a skilled profesional, who's skills are in demand here (Doctor, Dentist, Nurse..) then you have a good chance of getting a job and making a resonable living, for the rest, please do not do it. There are better options if you must Japa.

Anybody who spends loads of money to come to UK right now, needs their head examined or better yet, serious prayers. The only people who should migrate to the UK, are skilled workers that have secured a JOB from Nigeria. Coming over here to 'hustle' will just leave u depressed, broke and angry. The economy is not in a good shape and will get worse this year. You have been warned O!

Best governor Edo state has ever had!

I hope you all know that in Nigeria, all VAT is collected by FG, then shared across the states. So states like Lagos, Anambra, Edo, Rivers..end up subsidising states like Ekiti, Gombe, Zamfara.

Bauchi city looks relatively unpopulated, how come the state always registers such high numbers of votes?

The ogidi the North served GEJ, is now being given to BAT

Thank you My able Governor. it's so sad that you get the blame for the ineffecive and corrupt FG.

All this talk of Federal raod needs to end now. Every state should have full responsibliities for the roads within it's borders. In terms of construction and mainteance and also the collection of any tolls.

Hard working governor!!

adamusuleiman1:

Asue Igbodalo (AI) is our man. Edo people no dey gree for anybody..

Iam a Bini man, and as far as Iam concerned AI should already start thinking about his cabinet and policies. His election is a foregone conclusion. Edo Kingdom is built on fairness and brotherly love. Its time for the Esan to rule.

Who told this son a dog, that Nigeria a majority muslim country?
We have never added religion to any census so how would he know this?

Edo matter will alwasy bring problems for those who don't mean well

Obidients are learning a hard leassson. Edo no be Abia!!!

All of this nonsense started because the stupid Obidients, were trying to dictate to Edo people who are next governor should be. If Tinubu could not impose a governor on Edo, who the heck are Obidients to think they can do that? Is it because we voted PO you know thin PO can be a godfather in Edo?
A word of advice to the Obidients, leave Edo state matter to the Edo's. We REALLY don't take kindly to outsiders trying to interfere in our business.

CBN is clueless.
When inflation is driven by over spending, resulting from cheap and easy credit, then tightening by raising interest rates is the correct approach.
Nigeria's inflation is not that kind. The inflation in Nigeria is not being driven by people spending too much, it's been driven by the fall in the value of the currency, in what is essentially an import dominated economy. Putting up interest rates will not solve that problem at all. The only solution is to curb imports and increase exports. One of the ways to that is to encourage manufacturing and processing, but raising interest rates actually makes it harder for such firms to raise capital. Obaseki is spot on. Sadly he won't be listened to, again and in some months time, the truth of his words will be clear for all to see. Again.

Quodseverismete:



Let me educate you further, NDA is solely a cadet training school for the Army (Like Law school for Lawyers), NDA don't run undergraduates programs for Civilians only Cadets and upon graduation military officers, the reason NDA maximum of admission per state is 5 students, not through JAMB or IJMB unlike NAUB but through sometimes connection. NDA is saddled of training only officers, NAUB is a hybrid school,NDA don't lack the where withal to conduct academic research,NAUB offer opportunity to military recruits who did not have the opportunity to go through NDA in order become officers, you can be in your posting as a regular Army and undergoing training at the Nigerian Army University, unlike NDA, Community policing Security-wise the reason NAUB etc..

The army has no need to be running a university period! What next? Will the army start running farms maybe? Oil blocks? Airlines?
The army should focus on its primary responsibility which is to defend the nation.

beardedboy:

See, there's nothing bad if Nigeria water corporation can create their own university. If ministry of Agriculture can create their own. And so on.

If there's mismanagement, that's something understandable. But saying military school is useless is just rubbish.

This is why Nigeria can NEVER move forward when people like you argue for things that are just plan wrong. By your logic because one ministry has done something wrong every other part of govt should be able to do the same. So what next? Navy create their own university, Airforce create their own university, police create their own university, EFCC create their own university, ICPC create their own university, customs create their own university.... The universities we already have are underfunded and falling apart, rather than focusing on improving what we already have, people like you would be more than happy to just keep opening more and more mushroom institutions all over the place.
I've always maintained a nation gets the leaders it deserves Nigerians are not yet ready for serious, results oriented, prudent govt

Faposky95:


Vely simple......
Reduce illiterate number in the region first.....

Exactly. That' why I say the foucs should be on primary and secondary education. FG can even support on this.

SoNature:


There's nothing wrong with the army establishing businesses that will help it generate funds they will use to finance the military.

Today, we have been complaining that our security operatives are poorly funded and it has terribly affected to their efficiency. Setting up businesses can be a source of revenue for the military to equip their officers and acquire hardware.

By the way, Command Day Secondary School, owned by the Nigerian military, is one of the best secondary schools in the country and it is open to children of civilians. The level of discipline and academic excellence is topnotch!

The only problem I have with the university is where it is located. If the school is located somewhere in the South, everywhere knows it's a for-profit venture. But establishing the university in the part of the country where people rarely go to school is beyond my comprehension.

Which funds is the university generting? Where in the world does ANY kind of educational establishment generate signfiant revenue to contribute to the nations defense?
Please let's just call a spade a spade. This was nothing more than a vanity project from the former chief of army staff to locate something in his hometown. If a super power like the united states of america has only military academy (West Point) and the UK has ony Sandhurst, then there is no reason whatsover why the NDA is not sufficient for our officer training needs. The so called military university should be merged with the NDA without delay. We need to start doing things CORRECLTY in this country if we are ever to move forward.
I've got absolutly no problem with the FG pouring extra funds into Borno to support Primary and secondary and technical education.

Ekpenuwa:
Seriously I don't really know if everybody that made comments here are all in Edo State because we in Benin City Oredo and Ikpoba okha LGA including all the Eight ( local government in Edo South are all fully Support of (AI) Asuenlime IGHODALO what PDP is looking for now is to try win one or two local government in Edo central which Annih JNR promise he will deliver please don't say because APC won a senatorial seat in Edo central that means them will never that's a Big fat Lie because then there was no local government Chairman and counselors this year election will be different OP your write up don't have weight at all with the hatred from APC from the people in Edo South with the Highest voters victory is sure for PDP 100% or maybe he's thinking Federal power might be involved Tinubu and Oshomole will not fool thier self this is politics
Let me tell you Obaseki hardly loss election go and Mark it .......

I slaute my brother. You quite right many people that comment on Edo politics don't actualy live in Edo state. Obaseki is a tested fighter and PDP has a solid lock on Edo south. Oshimole understood that, which is why he tried to rig in an Edo south candiate. Central were loyal to Obaseki in the last election and now he's repaying them wth an Esan candidate they will surly support. Like you correctly said ony Edo North might go APC.
One thing I will mention is the choice of running mate in PDP is very important. I hope the rumors of Lucky's sister are not correct. That will be a big negative for PDP

IbeOkehie:


Quite a useful take as long as you understand there's a difference between convenient price and free market price.

Unfortunately the price of natural gas in Nigeria is REGULATED, not free market. It's CONVENIENT in the sense that you can be jailed or forcibly bankrupted for selling at you chosen, free market price.



My friend I can't express to you how very disappointed I am with Nigerians. Look at another comment here



How can Nigerians be this oblivious about their economy and how it works? Na juju or wetin? Simple things!!! I tire 😫

Who do Nigeria this thing abeg? I've met multiple Nigerian University graduates with business degrees who didn't know what VAT means.

My simple test for the competence of a Nigerian lawyer is to ask them who owns land in Nigeria or if an individual can own land. Most of them, I mean over 99%, don't know the answer.

Nigeria is a country where the vast majority think that SAP is a bad policy when the EVIDENCE is that it saved Nigeria.

Nigeria is a Zoo.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Please help to educate them where you can. The less ignorant the population, the less easy they can be manipulated

IbeOkehie:


It's very interesting how Nigerians hold so many factually wrong views about their country. On topics ranging from why Nigeria is a unitary state, who owns land, existence of fuel subsidies, what political system holds sway, the vast majority of the citizens have no idea. Which is OK, but what about the university educated fraction and also the elites? They're no better.

The Nigerian government owns 49% of NLNG, while a consortium of private companies own the majority 51% stake. The Federal Government thus has little control over NLNG.

Another company with similar structure is Indorama, which is the former Nigeria Petrochemical Company Eleme. Federal Government owns only 5%. Indorama has been wildly successful, it even exports fertilizer from Nigeria. At some point during around maybe 2005 or 2011, I forget the year really, there was a bill sponsored in the National Assembly for government to take back Indorama. The employees rioted and the plan was dropped. Like most things that show the futility of government ownership and socialism in general, the story made very little news and mostly was not reported on.



Not quite in the way you think. It's happening for the same reason subsidy on petrol and forex has been drastically reduced. The Federal Government has no choice in the matter, the policies of the last decade of APC government has bankrupted Nigeria. So we can commend President Tinubu for doing what he had to do, nothing more. He has no choice.

You're welcome.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Bless you!
It's so refreshing to read posts from an informed and knowledgeable person. The poster who was challenging what I said, really made me laugh with his ignorance. My brother worked with NLNG some years ago, so I know about the company very well.
