@RepGregSteube Dear Congressman.
We the citizens of Nigeria welcome this bill with our wholeheart. We are ๐ฏ% happy about it. Our only reservation is that this bill should have long since been passed. But, better late than never.
Pls, also help us have a credible 2027 election.
Cheers ๐ป
@ruffydfire One major problem I've observed is that in Nigeria, we have more Nollywood actors who are citizens than Non-nollywood actors. I just hope She's okay wherever She is now.
@Zim09905110@DrKalu_ So lucky. Basking on the foolishness & ignorance of the many Nigerians. Funny enough, there are very few of these politicians compared to the far greater number of the Nigerians that have the power to undo this rubbish we have as government.
In 2022:
โI will pay WAEC fee for every child when I become presidentโ- Bola Tinubu.
Today in 2026,
After becoming president,
The same Bola Tinubu increases WAEC fees to 50,000Naira.
A government of criminals, liars, charlatans and power-hungry scammers.
@FrUgochukwu Amazing. The age we all look-up to. Happy birthday in advance, Padre. We love all you do here, especially strengthening our spiritual life. Wishing U God's blessings as U continue to work in his vineyard.
Suspension of Examination Fees: A Victory for the People
I received the welcome news of the suspension of the newly introduced examination fees with relief. This is a victory for the Nigerian people.
While I commend the authorities for listening to the widespread public outcry and suspending the policy, it must be said that the fee was an unnecessary burden that should never have been introduced at this time of great hardship, when we should be doing everything possible to invest in basic education and reduce the millions of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
At a time when many families are struggling to make ends meet, access to education should be expanded, not restricted. Education is a fundamental right and a public good, not a source of government revenue.
Imposing multiple fees at the basic education level risks denying many children their right to education. At that stage, the State has a duty to invest in educating and preparing its citizens for productive lives, not to erect financial barriers that keep them out of school.
True leadership is demonstrated not only by making decisions but also by having the humility to reverse policies that impose unnecessary hardship on the people. Many other anti-people policies deserve similar reconsideration.
I thank the citizens, parents, and advocacy groups whose voices made this reversal possible.
A New Nigeria is Possible. -PO
Lol ๐ Enough of all these press releases. Yall will suddenly come up with one stupid policy. Then when it backfires (it always backfires), next up is a press release to either debunk or suspend action. We have a clueless and directionless government.
@NigeriaStories Madam, it's better and wise for you to save your money. U know why? Cos if Tinubu somehow rigs himself to that seat come 2027, shaa I leave the rest to ur imagination. That's all I have to tell U.
I just learned that under Ghanaโs Free Senior High School policy, the government pays the WASSCE registration fees for every student in public schools.
Then I looked at Nigeria, where WAEC and NECO fees have just increased.
Iโm struggling to understand the logic.
Nigeria has one of the largest populations of out-of-school children in the world.
Thousands of children drop out every year because their families simply cannot keep up with the cost of education.
Education is under attack in Nigeria and we have to fight back.
