@yabaleftonline The neighbours made a budget-based decision, while the guy took it as a personal rejection. Neither side was entirely wrong, but better communication & emotional maturity could have prevented the conflict. Sometimes, preserving relationships is worth more than proving a point.
@jamb_hq After making the required payment for the verification code and completing the verification process as instructed, my daughter's JAMB portal displayed another candidate's NECO result. The subjects and grades shown are not hers. Kindly assist in resolving this issue

Unbelievable video showing a boy called Ali Emeka from Southeast Nigeria who invented a wireless changeover. 🧠🇳🇬
Share this and let the world see the beauty of brains and talents in Nigeria!
Before you go for any major surgery in Nigeria, please make sure you do a scan to ascertain that your vital organs are intact
After the surgery, do another scan to check and if everything is still intact,
A lot is going on in this country.
Mr Tony Elumelu.
I have read different opinions on the trending issue between Mr Tony Elumelu and one of his staff i suppose.
He corrected the girl who called him just "Tony" to prefix it with "Mr" as a sign of respect. The buzz it has generated is much. What I don't get are those who support the girl and see Tony Elumelu's exception at being called Tony by a girl he can father as wrong.
Firstly, we are Nigerians. I haven't seen any Nigerian culture where a small girl or boy calls an elderly person by his first, middle or surname. This has nothing to do with academic or financial status. It is how we show respect in this clime.
I have been abroad. You could find cases of juniors addressing their seniors by their names, but what is prevalent is the 'Mr" prefix to names. White people call their priests Fr John or Fr Tony or Fr Kettle, or Bishop Baron or Bishop Kelvin. It is a sign of respect and must not be allowed to go extinct under any guise.
There are individuals who wouldn't mind you calling their name without any prefix or suffix, that's totally their choice, it is not a norm. Most times, such people are the ones who say to you: "oh, just call me John".
A younger person cannot assume that exception and call his or her senior by name without prefixing it with whatever 'respect title' that particular society practices.
How much more your own 'oga' at the top?
Ha, when a small girl stands up in the public and calls his oga 'Tony' and that oga smiles, odiegwu, let me not be the one to suggest what maybe going on because it can be alot. And even if nothing is going on, it sends that message. Yet, this is not the premise on which my argument is based on this issue.
This calls for environmental consciousness and awareness. In Nigetia, we still accord respect to elders by age or status. If you go against it, you will bring unnecessary troubles to yourself.
I actually hope the lady in question finds a way to apologize to her boss and not allow the social media voices of support she gets make her think she's right.
After all, sometimes in life it is not about what is RIGHT or WRONG, it is about what WORKS. Here, 'Tony' doesn't work, 'Mr Tony' or 'uncle Tony' or ' Dee Tony' or just 'Sir' works.
Also, this is what Google says about addressing people formally:
"The formal way to address someone is by using a polite title (such as Mr., Ms., or Dr.) followed by their last name. If you do not know their name or title, use "Sir" for a man or "Madam" / "Ma'am" for a woman."

There is a disastrous glitch in the just-released WAEC results, especially for those who were forced to do WAEC CBT.
WAEC, you can’t toy with our children’s destinies.
We will not allow it.
The results need to be withdrawn immediately and fixed, or we will challenge you in court.
I have now received further disturbing reports from multiple schools, teachers, parents and students about what happened during this 2026 WAEC examination.
In some examination centres, question papers were reportedly insufficient. I received reports of as many as FOUR students sharing ONE question paper.
Think about that.
Students prepared for years for an examination that could determine university admission, scholarships and, in many cases, the direction of their lives only to enter examination halls without enough question papers.
There are also serious reports concerning the security of examination materials, including allegations that some papers or answer materials circulated before the appropriate examination period. These allegations must be independently investigated, not internally explained away.
Even basic examination materials raise questions. Students have reported that calculators and other materials they expected WAEC to provide were unavailable in some centres.
We need an independent forensic investigation of the entire 2026 examination process from question-paper production and distribution to examination security, marking, CBE systems, grading, result processing and eventual release.
WAEC should preserve and make available for independent scrutiny the examination records and, subject to appropriate privacy safeguards, provide candidates access to their scripts including relevant paper-based scripts and CBE records.
If an independent investigation establishes that systemic failures were serious enough to compromise the integrity of the examination, then Nigeria must be prepared to consider every remedy necessary, including remarking, reprocessing results, rescheduling affected papers or, in the most extreme case, invalidating affected examinations.
No institution is bigger than the future of millions of Nigerian children.
Behind every WAEC result is a human being.
A child waiting for admission.
A scholarship that could disappear.
Parents who have sacrificed everything.
A family whose plans may depend on those grades.
This is why WAEC cannot be allowed to investigate WAEC and simply tell Nigerians that everything is fine.
The Federal Ministry of Education, National Assembly and other relevant authorities should urgently demand answers and establish an independent investigation into the conduct and processing of the 2026 WAEC examination.
If WAEC did everything correctly, an independent investigation will clear it.
But if something went terribly wrong, Nigerians deserve to know what happened, who was responsible, how many children were affected and how their futures will be restored.
This is no longer merely an examination issue. It is a question of institutional integrity, accountability and justice for Nigerian children.
We cannot gamble with the destinies of an entire generation.
@premiumpension@PenComNig However, both requests are still showing as “in process” to date. This prolonged delay is quite discouraging and has caused significant inconvenience. I kindly request your urgent intervention in resolving this issue. @premiumpension@PenComNig
