@themichaelowen@robertmarawa Michael Owen, with due respect to your legendary status, pls sit this out.
Statistically and performatively, the THREE LIONS WERE NOT BETTER THAN LA ALBICELESTE in that match. That haven't been better than them in this tournament, they have not been better than them in 20 yrs.
@OloyeSomorin Imo, steel stanchions and pipes are the best materials available for water tanks, sadly the thickness schedule in the video and picture are not suitable for such weights. Those tanks need bigger and thicker schedule beams/pipes and better reinforcement.
Terrible fabrication..😔
I was thinking of exiting X completely. It's become really toxic, but then I realized that I could create my own corner, in my own space, where people can come and rest from the adrenaline-pumping, cortisol-extracting timeline. My timeline and my BuyMeACoffee page will be a place of rest.
That's the only mandate I will be standing upon. You are welcome.
Dear President Tinubu @officialABAT ,
Kidnappers should not be this Bold to keep committing these crimes.
It's so wrong.
Go after sponsors, the people funding it and show no mercy to anyone apprehended.
The safety of your people is on you as the GCFR sir.
I can see how this can happen. If you make money like this and it is not frequent, the first thing you need to do is set up investments before lifestyle creep. That 75k at 10% would have given him $7.5k a year. If it was in NG, converting to naira and investing at 20% would have given him 21M a year. He would have been living on that 21M.
When you make money your first though should be about setting up structures for yield and not consumption
There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly.
We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause.
Our education system has been deeply compromised.
A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous:
“You do not need competence to succeed.”
WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.”
And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear.
It won’t.
A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses.
This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from.
Not because Nigerians are not intelligent.
Not because our youths are lazy.
But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered.
The painful part is this:
UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum.
The difference is standards.
The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud.
The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized.
Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly.
And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price.
That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge.
That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient.
That compromised accountant may manage public funds.
That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again.
This is no longer just an education problem.
It is a national security problem.
Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely.
Singapore did it.
China did it.
Germany did it.
South Korea did it.
You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity.
Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent.
Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence.
And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence.
This fight is bigger than schools.
It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.
I preached in the bus again 😄 but this time, I even shared Bibles and gave out some cash in an envelope as a personal gift to the passengers.
Honestly, I don’t know when this boldness entered my body. The first time, my voice was shaking and I was so nervous. But this time, the Holy Spirit took control, I spoke with confidence and delivered the message clearly. Even the driver collected a Bible.
Who would have imagined that I would be preaching the gospel openly, without shame? I’m so happy.
I’m just here thinking like, “Wow… so this is me now?” 🥹🤭
Thank You Jesus 🙏
