I have never believed that Nigeria has up to 200million people. Especially with how census figures were reportedly inflated in every region of the country. I remember watching census officials in Zaria and seeing with my own eyes how people just made up children they did not have. Even the 140 million the census announced in 2006, appears to me to be seriously inflated.
Hopefully one day Nigeria can have an accurate census without the political bloating of figures.
This video should be a cause for concern, not a testament to how good the system is. Besides, Nigerians are very tolerant of mediocrity. A large percentage of these people used to pay their school fees until they were crushed under the weight of the needless economic shock therapy of this administration, coupled with the cruel increments of school fees. It's ridiculous to come and praise how generous the government is for giving them loan after crippling their economic capabilities in the first place.
Lol. This is pathetic, really. Coming from someone like you.
Pauperize people to the point where basic education becomes a luxury, trap them in debt disguised as an "upkeep allowance" and then turn around to celebrate the crumbs.
A video of our university students celebrating their monthly NELFUND upkeep allowance to the tune of Omo Ologo. And yet some people, from the comfort of their air-conditioned rooms, dismissed both the need for and the impact of NELFUND. Students have dropped out of school over what others consider a “paltry” ₦10,000, while many more have had to sacrifice their studies to survive through side hustles. The story of LAUTECH’s 2026 best graduating student, whose GPA had been slipping before the NELFUND intervention but turned into a run of straight As afterwards, speaks volumes. Not everyone experiences the world through the same privileges or circumstances. Stop looking at the world through your rose-coloured lenses.
When I was in Kuje Prison, I met Haruna Garba Gololo, who was sent there by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. He had been granted bail for nearly three weeks but was still unable to meet the bail conditions.
He’s spent several weeks in prison before being granted bail.
I also met David Nwokorie, who was arrested and detained by the Nigeria Police Force following a messy breakup with Genevieve Opara, the daughter of retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Hilary Opara. Last week, when Justice Rita Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court granted David bail after he had spent close to four months in prison, he was required to present a Level 16 officer and a colonel in the Nigerian Army as sureties. these are almost impossible bail conditions.
Even the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who is complaining of wrongful imprisonment of 93% of current inmates dragged a critic, Emorioloye Owolemi, before the Federal High Court sitting in Akure, Ondo State, over alleged cyberstalking, and the man languished in prison for months.
I was sent to prison by Tinubu.
There are 817 awaiting-trial inmates in Kuje out of a total prison population of 1,115, with 47 of them diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Malami goes to Mecca in Saudi Arabia for lesser hajj almost every year to thank Allah for helping him to loot our treasury.
And he donates generously to the cause of Allah in Northern Nigeria.
Bro, don't let people deceive you with religion. Watch their lives.
If Iran had military bases in Canada or Mexico, and Iran launched missiles from those bases toward America, and then America bombed those Iranian bases located in Canada and Mexico, would we consider that an American act of aggression?
Of course not, not to mention whether Canada and Mexico have been supporting Iran with money and media, distorting America's image in the media for fifty years, recruiting, funding, training, and sending mercenaries against America to inflame internal tensions.
Imagine that all the Gulf states have been doing all this and more against Iran for fifty years, yet Iran still treats them with utmost good neighborliness and has only bombed American military bases so far.
Frankly, the Gulf Arabs don't deserve all the respect that Iran shows them.
The problem with all the Gulf Arab dictatorships is that they’re stuck.
They know very well Iran isn’t going to accept their complicity and depravity anymore.
But they also know very well that the US and Israel are going to literally blow them up the second they start to resist and refuse being used as human shields.
So they have chosen the far more human and rational party as their enemy.
But their fatal mistake? Mistaking Iran’s humanity and restraint for weakness.
Nigeria has now been delisted from the International Maths Olympiad, whose finals are happening in Shanghai, China, this July.
It is one of the most prestigious academic competitions in the world.
Nigeria can now only participate as an observer nation, while other countries can participate fully.
This was because of the Ministry of Education’s inability to fund students for 4 consecutive years through National Mathematical Center.
It’s a big shame for Nigeria.
In all my life, I have never seen any fraud as strategic as this.
You contacted a foreign airline, got them to paint Nigeria Air on their own plane, got people to disguise as NG Air pilots, organised a team to wear Nigeria Air clothes, organised media to cover Nigeria Air arrival, clear the airport for Nigeria Air.
Got Newspaper to cover Nigeria Air.
Got media houses to cover emergence of Nigeria Air.
Cut Ribbon to celebrate Nigerian Air
Flew the plane back to the original country.
Told the Masses of a breaking project.
Got creme de last creme of the country.
This is crazy and evil.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
It was a pleasure to sit on a panel discussing How Hubs Can Lead Nigeria’s Innovation-Led Recovery at the annual gathering of the Innovation Support Network (ISN) Nigeria.
Our taxes should give us:
- Clean water
- Steady electricity
- Good roads
- Good Public schools
- Hospitals that work
- Security we can trust
If the government can't provide these basics, what's the whole essence of taxation?
Subsidy on fuel has been removed. Have you positively felt the impact of the removal?
You’re excited about the prospect of paying more taxes to a government that is not accountable to you?
What a country.
