I graduated from Ahmadu Bello University in 2004 and my school fees wasn't more than 2,000 Naira per annum. My bed space was 90 Naira throughout the 4 years I spent at Suleiman Hall. That was under the Obasanjo/Atiku administration. There was zero loans. In fact, people with 2:1 and first class CGPA were given 50,000 Naira disbursement by the Federal Government every year. After graduation, the banks and telecoms industries were hiring like never before. Many graduates got competitive foreign scholarships. All for free.
The Tinubu/Shettima people are asking Nigerian students and their parents to celebrate the formation of NELFUND. When did going to the university in Nigeria requires a loan to poor students? How can they pay back when the economy has been stagnant and jobs are impossible to get? How can they pay back when salaries are peanuts and cannot even pay for travel costs to work? How can they pay back when rent is skyrocketing and disconnected from earning of average tenants? How can they pay back when the cost of electricity is exorbitant and running a generator is impossible due to cost of fuel?
If the student loan program is the cardinal achievement of the Tinubu/Shettima administration, then they have failed and deserve to be voted out. There is nothing on the Tinubu/Shettima scorecard that qualify them for a second term. They did nothing and having nothing in their plan for the future. It is a self aggrandisement political project that serves only them and their small group of friends.
Nigerian students alone are in millions. Put your heads together and vote Tinubu out in 2027. Reject him before he makes you perpetual debtors!

This isn't AI, it's the Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou, China, the world's highest bridge at 625 meters above the river beneath it.
It features a man-made waterfall created by diverting karst spring water discovered during tunnel construction.
Congratulations to those who defected from PDP, LP, NNPP and APGA to APC, only to be denied tickets in the end.
May the same crim nal electoral laws you supported continue to haunt your political careers.#apcprimaries
