Sammykidz: Just one question: is this what young people go through after NYSC while searching for jobs? Six Sigma? Where is that taught in the average graduate of a regular Nigerian university - who studied Physics, for example? 1 Like |

With electronic banking where everyone who has a phone can use MTN Momo Microfinance Banking payment options even in remote areas? Why do we focus on cash so much in this country? In places as close as Kenya, most payments are virtual. The locals ask for your Pesa or so to transfer money freely. There should be less pressure on paper cash. That's the way to go. Commercial banks all have various digital payment options. All major businesses have numbers which can receive digital payments. So what's the craze about POS or ATM? 1 Like |

I am trying to imagine what may happen if a 40 year old man mate this statement about a 28 year old lady. We must stop the double standards in our society. Men and women are created equal and born equal. What a man can do, a woman can also do. What men do for women, women should be willing and available to reciprocate for men. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

lexy2014: Glitches in the software are fixed, no? WhatsApp significantly upgrades it's output in updates, allowing s to do more with the app anyway... You can not transcribe voice notes, for example, after a recent update |
![]() |
lexy2014: Not necessarily, but the fact that older phones do not get software upgrades mean that those people who own such older phones which cannot receive them updates are forced to acquire newer ones. The software updates in themselves are often advances in communication channels anyway. |
![]() |
It invariably means that no one would be able to use one phone for a very long time, as updates would no longer be available. It would indicate that mobile phones and similar gadgets are no longer mere status symbols, but advances in communication that require routine software and hardware upgrades. 27 Likes |

Acidosis: I don't know you in person, but I love your thoughts as expressed here. It is, for me, part of the basics of civic education that we must start teaching our children if we are to successfully re-orient our society from its current path of perdition to one to holistic success.

Hemanwel: Papa Awo was no saint when it comes to "totalitarianism" and "autocratism" or even Agberoism either... You may wish to check the much that AG and their youth/thug arm did in Ibadan which contributed largely to the first coup when Akintola won his case in court and AG/Awo no longer had the opportunity to appeal to the UK Privy Council as Nigeria had become a Republic. You may want to check how Chief Lekan Salami and Lamidi Adedibu dem[/i] broke the door to the office of the Premier when they attempted to install "Soroye" in the Western Parliament despite losing the case in the Judiciary and exhausting the options for appeal within Nigeria - leading to Tafawa Balewa a d NPC invoking the Doctrine of Necessity at the time and declaring a State of Emergency on Western Nigeria. These matters brought in Dr. Majekodunmi as sole for 6 months before Akintola returned to his seat. Papa Awo was to win on the streets and the minds of the people however as Balewa/Akintola tag-team comeuppance looked too severe on Awo with that Cooker inquiry and the Treason charges which ultimately saw Chief Awolowo jailed. That was as the final straw. Akintola was perceived as a quisling who was siding with the North and punishing his boss in jail, and ultimately led to him having to rig the 1965 elections that initiated Operation Wetie[i] However, not even when UPN came after the war and Gowon and Murtala left did Awo really stop being the "Supreme Controller" of Yoruba politics at the time, especially with Akintola's death and his leadership roles in the country as de-facto Vice President when Gowon managed the country through the war... This is long. I should stop. I am not speaking for Tinubu who may be ultra-controlling as perceived. I am only said Papa Awo was not so laissez-faire in political style of leadership either. |

I was only reading how T.Y Danjuma quashed the Dimka coup of February 1976 from Bonny Camp; how he sent IBB to take over Radio Nigeria where Dimka had captured after killing Murtala... How he didn't take control of the country in the melee that followed but allowed the No 2 man at the time, the then Lt Gen Olusegun Obasanjọ step into power while Lt. Col Yar'adua was doubly promoted to Brigadier General as Obasanjo's deputy. TY Danjuma later went on to develop a lifelong relationship with Obasanjo, and was Minister for Defence in Obasanjo's first term. To imagine that such a celebrated man is faced with so much troubles as he has had to deal with in the farmer-herder clashes and this telecomms business deal apparently shows that power and loyalty can be so transcient... 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Gotocourt: I agree that divorce should be normalised. However, every other issue is a little subjective. A wife should and can be a next of kin. Brothers have killed their brothers. Wives aren't the only ones who can kill husbands. Husbands have also been known to kill wives, children killing parents and vice versa. What Gani did to the mother of his daughter, by throwing her out of her apartment where she lives and raises his child, only because he is dead, is pretentious to the living and unfair in death. He should have divorced her and gotten her out of the place in his lifetime if he was a man that he was thought to be. For me, that's a bad one by Chief. 2 Likes |

I'm worried about how Gani treated the mother of his last child, whom he didn't acknowledge as having his surname. He's sending her away from the apartment she lives at the second year of his death, or if she marries another man (meaning that he acknowledges his marriage to her) or if she's found to be pregnant elsewhere. I think that's very unfair to her, and his daughter from that woman is very unlikely to think that her father cared for her mother in the best possible way. That little girl would be scarred by this Will of her father, especially with regards the treatment of her Mum. Of what use would a solitary one million naira "discharge" and no accommodation whatsoever, even evicting her, despite the man having so much property all over the place, including UK? Should that little girl, who is not fatherless, live with her mother under some bridge in Lagos? Clearly, even the best of men are men - and nobody is quite perfect. Gani remains one of my role models, but a role model is a man, who is also fallible - and one doesn't have to be completely modelled by any man. 3 Likes |

Paul Alaje. Happy to see that his work is regularly attracting national attention. He's picked a PhD along that way also. He was pretty unknown on campus at Ife where ideological groups like the DSM and similar groups produced SUG Presidents until Akinola Saburi rigged Kay Kay is Okay to become SUG President in 2007 or so when the Union was proscribed. Biodun "Apasco", later Dr Awosusi was to come in the next year or so as Transition Committee President which ran a months-long students management team that screened potential student union leaders to hav a minimum of a second class upper. Lanky Paul Alaje, PROF, as his epithet was at the time, won the elections from political oblivion and navigated the SUG ship quite nicely before handing it to Davidson "Deviano" Adejuwon - or vice versa. Happy to see PROF, now Dr Paul Alaje, doing this well now, just like Suraj "Jarus" Oyewale and several other gentlemen I knew in my time on campus. May Nigeria be great in my lifetime. Great IFE! |

Only fate prevented him from becoming Nigeria's President after the demise of Abacha. Abacha was known to be terminally ill before he did, at least by the top hierarchy, and Jeremiah was the next highest ranking military officer after Diya, who was already on death row, pending Abacha's signature. Bamaiyi raised the suspicion at the Provisional Ruling Council Officer's meeting following Abacha's death that Useni was indeed the last person who was with Abacha before he died that morning. Others present agreed. The next person in line, after Useni was the Chief of Defence Staff: Major General Abdulsalami Abubakar who was not particularly in Abacha's good books, and was rumoured to be pencilled for retirement at about the time the Abacha transition to civilian rule was also heating up - just when Abacha died. The rest, they say, is history. IF Useni hadn't been with his friend Abacha in the early hours of June 8 1998, when Abacha died, that suspicious may not have arisen and he may well have automatically become Head of State when Abacha died, as Lt. Gen Diya was already convicted at the time. Fate. Abdulsalami went on to run the shortest transition programme in Nigeria's history and he remains continually respected for that. May Nigeria become great again in my lifetime. 78 Likes 12 Shares |

A coup is never the answer to any societal change. Never. However, if the current regime came into power via a coup, there can always be uprisings within its armed forces. Military incursions into democracy and civil governance leaves a metallic taste on that long run, virtually every single time. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hopefully, someday, starting with LGA Autonomy, we can grow these issue-based leadership orientation in a bottom-up approach from the local to the Federal Government. It cannot work from top-down in a decentralised democratic system that we try to imitate in Nigeria. What we have currently is a unitary/centralised/decentralised mismatch. |

Wahala dey for biro colour? Nothing wey Naija politicians no go use catch cruise... When the developed world does digital signatures? Who re the Executive Orders which Donald Trump signed on live TV when he was sworn in the first time? That was black ink, right? Whatever does the colour of the pen signify in the final and most realistic - beyond unnecessary classism, if not overbearing ego? In a Federal system of government and inter-governmental relations, how should the Secretary to the Federal Government determine what pen colour to be used by State Governors, for example? It isn't a unitary, centralised or military government na... We turn many things on the head in Nigeria. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Sentiments do so little in the final analysis. Many Nigerians are emotional about Austin Okocha's APOTY loss in 1998 - but the votes are available to be checked by anyone. Same with the Ballon D'Or sentiments that anyone may have. In 1998, Nigeria was not at the AFCON in Burkina Faso where Hadji set Africa alight, scoring a particularly marvellous goal amongst other things. At the 98 World Cup, Hadji was also fantastic for Morocco, where the Atlas Lions almost qualified for the second round after defeating Scotland 3-0 in their final game and expecting Brazil to defeat Norway in the simultaneous game to qualify with Brazil. It was tough to receive the cold news that Norway, of all teams, whom Morocco had previously drawn, has defeated Brazil. Hadji was the most delightsome player in Africa in 1998 - and the Coaches and Captain CAF APOTY voting college saw this and voted in the same vein. It has nothing to do with the sentiments of Nigerians, many of whom didn't watch the 1998 AFCON as to understand anything besides Austin Okocha's unproductive theatrics at the 98 World Cup. Dribbling the Danes at the second round while contributing no goals or assists counts for little in the final analysis, really. 46 Likes 4 Shares |

I my lecturer teaching me in postgraduate school: If weevils avoid the beans, humans should possibly avoid it too. He was clearly referencing the kind of preservatives that prevent the weevils being often unsafe for human consumption. There have been instances where Nigerian beans exports are rejected in Europe as containing greater levels of pesticides than the European acceptable benchmark. 9 Likes 1 Share |

If you ask me, Nigeria's problem has never been poverty. Rather, it is WEAPONISED poverty and poor educational standards. Fix those two under 20 years and Nigeria - and indeed the rest of Sub Saharan Africa - would rival the rest of the World. We only need 20 straight years of fastidious hard work. Our population is immeasurable potential already as it is. |

Dalung may be playing politics and be saying half of the truth, but half of the truth is also truth - even if there is another half that is false. Dalung himself knew that Buhari was ineffective while he campaigned with him to win in 2015. He was possibly schemed out of the main government and given the Ministry of Play-play[i][/i] to handle; but he didn't do anything magical there. He actually destabilised the Ministry of Youth and Sports so badly that the "incapacitated" Buhari to chase him out of his second term. Dalung then went to SDP - of all parties - to raise a political greenhorn/lightweight in Adewole to be President. What was his political relevance to the SDP? A situation, to me, of a thief calling another person thief because he was out-stolen by a better (or worse) criminal. Why didn't Dalung say this during Buhari's second term when they were campaigning to succeed Buhari with his Adewole? Galadima of NNPP who opened all the shit of Buhari while campaigning to replace APC and Buhari no be human being? He should go and sit down jare. 1 Like |
