I know some people will opine that they should be free because Fulani herdsmen kill. Apart from the fact that there's no valid evidence to prove this. Must Yoruba kidnap every Igbo because someone Igbo have been kidnapping some Yoruba? We need to get things right.

Bitcoin is not here to replace fiat currencies but to revolutionalize international transfer and serve as a digital store of value like gold.

Rather see bitcoin as a store of value rather than a get rich quick scheme. Buy bitcoin and leave it for more than a year. See it grow more than 200% in value. Many have been scammed already in MLM and other crypto investment sites or apps. Don't be deceived you can't mine bitcoin on any app or site on your phone. Mining bitcoin is done on special super computers.

Bitcoin is now $19000+

I saw the same structure under construction in UI LAST YEAR. I was confused when I read the project title as "CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE " now I know what it means. This is an initiative of Emotions of Kano that caused his sacked then.

It has created more jobs than those lost. Nigerians have been loosing jobs since the 90s. Some saying PDP makes Nigeria GDP surpasses that of South Africa. My question is what did they do? It only happens after recalculating the GDP. Nigeria is still the largest economy in Africa and our GDP has been on the rise. More companies are investing. Rice production is rising enough to reduce the cost to the amount it was when we heavily depends on smuggled rice. Customs generates revenue more than their targets. Foreign reserve have been swelling ups. Farmers are smiling to the banks. Infrastructures are springing up. Ignorance is the only excuse to deny all these

I'm a Muslim and I unequivocally believe what he said. our lecturer actually told us 2day day it's only CU and like 4 other private universities that actually worth being called a school. he made mention of a private uniform with just 2 lecturers in a department. the reason is not farfetched, the cost of running a universityis not child's play. lautech's staff salaries alone gulp over 300 million naira monthly. If we're to have a standard private university that's making profit. then we should be talking about 10 million naira tuition feee

please I need the format for their aptitude test

beware of scammers as they will want to dupe you since you mentioned the money you have especially those promising to secure admission for you abroad or process your travel

I first heard of programming when I was in secondary school. It's always interests me and I couldn't wait to know but all I had then was a Nokia X2. I visited cplusplus.com few times but I didn't understand a dime. I had to stop then. I then go to w3shools.com where I learn basic html and css. I created a very crude wakpka site then. I stopped the day I posted the link here on Nairaland and one guy rubbish it when we were asked to comments websites we've created. Fortunately for me I was met a tutor during my first year at the University who taught me basic Java. I learned really fast then compared to my colleagues. I thought I know Java already, before you know it I started learning android then. Later I attended a web design class then which lays my interest in web design and development.
I try learning MEAN stack but stopped when I couldn't find solution to a bug I encountered during the course of learning. When Google announced firebase last year. I was so excited about and learnt and use it for 2 projects in android and Web. I Heard of django but couldn't wait to learn it as well. I downloaded the documentation and was following it and later stopped for no justifiable reason. My hard disk crashed this year and I lost all my projects though I've learnt of github and bitbucket but didn't take it serious.
My boss informed me of a company that needs Java Programmer to help them develop a remote server in Java. I then started learning about JAVA EE until today on which I was interviewed. All of the questions I was asked were things I've used and came across in Java SE but I failed woefully cos I didn't focus. I was told they would get back to me. That's why I came here to narrate my story for others to learn from.

Osun State, Nigeria
THE LAUTECH OWNERSHIP SAGA: A BETRAYAL OF THE YORUBA ( OMOLUABI ) SPIRIT OF ONENESS AND
DECENCY BY OGBOMOSO COMMUNITY.
Ladoke Akintola University was established in 1990 by the then Government of the Old Oyo State. Shortly
after the University was established, State of Osun was carved out of old Oyo State in 1991.
The options opened to the State of Osun then were:
1. To leave the ownership of the University to the new Oyo State just like we left every other immovable
properties that fell within the geographical domain of the new Oyo State.
2. Invite the Federal Government to take over the University just likeit happened between Enugu and Anambra
States in the case of Nnamdi Azikwe University.
3. Agree to jointly own the University with the new Oyo State to save the University from premature death, the
institution being less than one year old as at the time the State of Osun was created.
Consumed by the spirit of oneness and integration of Yoruba nation, our fore runners and leaders in the State
of Osun widely chose the third option.
As a result of this fundamental and patriotic decision, Ladoke Akintola Uninversity of Technology continued
in 1991 to be a joint property of both Oyo State and the State of Osun and has remained so till date.
The issues at stake now
it is important that we make clear the issues at stake and not confuse them as the people of Ogbomoso area
of Oyo state will want.
The fundamentals of the LAUTECH Saga are two clear and distinct issues which must be addressed and
resolved separately. They are:
1. The Non payment of subventions recently by both Oyo State and State of Osun.
Before we go into this important issue, permit me to state very clearly on behalf of the State Government of
Osun that we regret our inability to pay our own share of subventions over the last couple of months.
It is unfortunate and unintended. It is a collateral fall out of the financial challenges that all States including
the State of Osun have been encountering for about 2 years now. As a result of this circumstance we have
regrettably been unable to pay our core civil servants the way we would have loved to and subvent even our
own university.
We will therefore like to re-assure our people in Oyo State and Ogbomoso area in particular that we as a State
are committed to our obligations to LAUTECH and the Governor is working tirelessly to ensure that we
redeem our pledge to pay part of our outstanding subvention as soon as our financial situation can bear it.
Having said this, we also need to debunk the wicked rumor that we are funding Osun State University to the
detriment of LAUTECH – this is false, as the state government of Osun has not given a kobo in subvention to
Osun State University over the last six years and the institution has been self sustaining and running
smoothly on its internally generated revenue.
As far as the issue of payment of subvention is concerned, it is important that we set the record straight and
state unequivocally that the State of Osun has been a responsible partner all through the twenty six years of
existence of the institution.
The following are facts which nobody can controvert:
i. The State of Osun has fully, consistently and timeously met her obligations to LAUTECH over the last 25
years out of the Twenty Six years of the University existence. Inability to pay over the last one year was due to
national economic problem which equally affects Oyo State.
ii. In 2010 when the University needed the partners (Osun and Oyo) to inject N900,000,000:00 (Nine Hundred
Million Naira) each for the payment of monetization and personal allowances of workers, it was only the
State of Osun that paid her own share of N900,000,000:00 (Nine Hundred Million Naira). Oyo State has not
paid her own share of N900,000,000:00 (Nine Hundred Million Naira) till date which was borrowed from sky
bank plc and eventually paid back with the IGR of the University which belong to the two owner States.
iii. The statute setting up the University recognises only one Teaching Hospital and and situates it in Osogbo.
Oyo State has consistently refused to contribute a Kobo to the sustenance of this Teaching Hospital since
the Akala government set up the illegal Teaching Hospital at Ogbomoso. It may interest fair minded
observers to know that the State of Osun singularly maintains this facility with a monthly N200 Million.
In the same vein the State of Osun has invested close to N2 Billion on Capital projects in the Teaching
Hospital while Oyo State was busy investing in a parallel but illegal Teaching Hospital unknown to the law
that established the University.
ISSUE TWO
The obscene and perfidious effort by Ogbomoso Community to unilaterally take over LAUTECH and push
Osun State out of the joint ownership after investing equally in the project for almost 26 years.
We honestly want to believe that the unconscionable attempt to take over the ownership of LAUTECH by
every means possible is being orchestrated by only the Ogbomoso Community which erroneously think that
it owns the college but not the entire good people of Oyo State , who are our kith and kin.
The University was sited in Ogbomoso on the basis of trust by the other communities in the old Oyo State.
The unscrupulous attempt to betray the trust and convert the University to Ogbomoso Community owned
University did not start recently and predated the current financial travails deviling the polity, culminating in
our inability to meet our obligations to LAUTECH and other institutions of governments.
You will recall how, beginning from 2010, Governor Alao Akala of Oyo State acted out the script written by
him on behalf of the Ogbomoso community by using the apparatus of Oyo state government to convert
LAUTECH to an institution solely owned ostensibly by Oyo state but in reality Ogbomoso Community.
The then the State government of Osun challenged Akala’s illegal attempt in the Supreme court of Nigeria
and in a judgment delivered on 26th day of March, 2012 the apex court held that the university was and will
always be jointly owned by Oyo and Osun states and Oyo state alone cannot unilaterally lay claim to sole
ownership of the institution.
Having met with failure in the court, the hostile take over has now been tied to Osun’s financial travails and
inability to meet our obligation to LAUTECH which is a recent issue and which equally affects Oyo state.
It is a big shame that the Oyo state Attorney General is denying the existence of a Supreme court judgment.
With this development it is clear that some people within the Oyo state government are actually encouraging
this criminality.
In the spirit of OMOLUABI, brotherliness and pan Yoruba nationalism, we have kept quiet even when we have
been treated as a junior partner in a joint ownership where we contribute the same amount of subvention
year in year out for the past 26 years.
The following are some infractions which ordinarily the State of Osun should have protested about but which
we accepted calmly in the spirit of one Yoruba nation and regional integration.
a) Seven and a half faculties of the university are located in Ogbomoso while only a quarter (some say half)
of a faculty is located in Osogbo, Stare of Osun. In spite of this obvious lopsidednesswe still contribute equal
amount as partners and joint owners.
b) The postgraduate school, the pre-degree centre, Part-time programme and centre for distance learning are
all sited in Ogbomoso.
c) The staff ratio is 1100 for Oyo state to 610 for Osun state.
d) Sixteen (16) TETFUND need assessment projects are in Ogbomoso campus with none in Osogbo.
The people of Ogbomoso and their supporters in Oyo state government are obviously mistaking our maturity
for weakness and foolishness. They will soon realise that it is not so.
We do not intend to let go our joint property. We appeal to the leaders of the Yoruba nation to prevail on this
mean spirited people. Their action is a betrayal of trust, out rightly unconscionable and offends our credo of OMOLUABI

Aregbesola is the best performing Governor when it comes to infrastructural development considering the situation he met the State with the resources. Even though he made alot of mistakes. The propaganda circulating about him every day make it seem like a monster but every fact I got make me to love him the more.

Nice one from the presidency. I I hope you can Finnish all the projects.

Powerful campaign must be launched to get the presidency aware of this frustrating matter

But with newly recovered funds it's likely there might be amendment to 2017 budget or the remaining will be used to fund 2018 budget

Alot of people have been asking about where recovered looted funds are kept and how it is used.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, says all looted funds recovered by it are paid into the consolidated revenue account of the Federal Government.
The commission made this known on its Twitter handle, @officialefcc in response to a question from one of its followers.
In a tweet to the commission through the handle @asantoo11a, the follower had asked; “When are we sharing our recovered looted money’’.
“Recovered funds are paid into the consolidated revenue account of the Federal Government,’’ it tweeted in reply.

According to
Chapter 5. Part 2. Section 120. Establishment of Consolidated Revenue Fund
(1) All revenues or other moneys raised or received by a State (not being revenues or other moneys payable under this Constitution or any Law of a House of Assembly into any other public fund of the State established for a specific purpose) shall be paid into and form one Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State. (2) No moneys shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State except to meet expenditure that is charged upon the Fund by this Constitution or where the issue of those moneys has been authorised by an Appropriation Law, Supplementary Appropriation Law or Law passed in pursuance of section 121 of this Constitution. (3) No moneys shall be withdrawn from any public fund of the State, other than the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State, unless the issue of those moneys has been authorised by a Law of the House of Assembly of the State. (4) No moneys shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the State or any other public fund of the State except in the manner prescribed by the House of Assembly.

Osun pensioners’ “IDP camp” a wicked, mischievous joke – Govt.
The Government of Osun on Tuesday described as another propaganda against the Rauf
aregbesola administration, the claims that some pensioners have set up a camp purposely for those calling themselves “Internally Displaced Pensioners.”
The government, through a statement by the Bureau of Communication and Strategy and signed by its Director, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon said, if indeed, any camp was set up, it could not be for demand for payment of any pensions.
“Our attention has been drawn to a sensational display of photograph of some persons who claim to be pensioners in Osun who have dubiously grouped themselves “Internally Displaced Pensioners” and claimed to have set up an “IDP” camp in the state capital, Osogbo.”
“To us, this is taking the joke too far. There should be limit to campaigns of calumny and deliberate fabrications of emotive conditions all in desperation to diminish the achievements of a government.”
Aregbosola
“It was common knowledge that the State of Osun ended the Year 2016 in the most financially boisterous mood ever with the payment of four months salaries to active workers and pensions to the passive workers.”
The Bureau said for the purpose of record, “pensioners on N1,000 -N20,000 collected 100% pensions; Those on N20,001 -N80,000 collected N75% pensions and that pensioners on N80,001 collect 50% of their pensions.”
“By our calculations, Osun state pensioners alone got at least, N1,539,227,442.75 out of the N14.2billion paid to active and passive workers in the last two weeks as arrears of 4 months salaries and pensions excluding what the local government pensioners were paid for the same period.”
The statement asked discerning Nigerians to “see this mischief as part of the determination of some disgruntled elements and their media partner who are bent on deliberate fabrication of falsehood against this government.”
“Without celebrating the failings of other places, the Osun government today is prominent among the states that have taken payment of pensions as a priority. It is therefore pertinent to ask these people what are there grouse against Governor Rauf aregbesola. It certainly cannot be their pensions,” it added
It explained further that in 2015, Osun committed a total of N5,426,720,195.68 to payment of pensions in spite of the very difficult financial stress the state found itself.
“In 2016, the state also committed a total of N3,981,312,918.78 to payment of pensions. These are facts and figures that are in public domain.” it stated
The statement said less than 24 hours after the display of the photographs and the claim to have set up the camp, there are no traces of any camp at the Freedom Park Osogbo or anywhere in the state capital.
“This, to us, confirms the fact that the mischief makers have merely orchestrated a stunt. But discerning Nigerians can see already that this is a mere propaganda.” it said.
The statement added that aregbesola has demonstrated unbeatable display of transparency in public administration.
“This government has given meaning to good governance. History will definitely be there to judge with Governor Rauf aregbesola’s commitment to the good of the people,” it concluded.

Osun Pensioners Dismiss Nonpayment Rumour, Say December Pension Paid

A group of pensioners in Osun State have dismissed the insinuation that Governor Rauf Aregbesola has not been paying their pension, saying that the state government has paid their pension up to December 2016.
According to the pensioners, no pensioner in the state was being owed by the state government except those that have documentary issue and those whose banks have not paid.
It was gathered that Zenith Bank had delayed the payment of the September to December 2016 pension to the retirees.
Findings showed that majority of the pensioners with the Zenith Bank have not been paid, weeks after the state government have released fund to the bank for the payment.
Speaking with CityMirrorNews in a telephone interview on Tuesday, Chairman, Triangular Group of Osun Pensioners, Prince Rotimi Adenugba said the state governor has paid the retirees up to December 2016 in line with the Memorandum of Understanding entered into by the labour unions and the government.
Adenugba confirmed the payment of September to December 2016 pension payment, stating that any section of the Osun pensioners that claims the senior citizens have not been paid was being mischievous.
According to him, any pensioner that has not been paid should approach his/her bank to complain.
Anybody protesting nonpayment of pension in the state is a tool being used by political party to smear Aregbesola’s administration.
