Alex Onyia We have a lot of competent companies to handle these things, but it seems the people directly in charge of these platforms are in a different world. Do they hear Nigerians complaining about these things? Yes. Would they make changes to ensure effective service delivery to

Alex Onyia NYSC, the supposed reserve for the Nigeria Army, is telling you, a prospective corps member (PCM), that while you're on your way to join them or while going to where they have posted you, you should be in charge of your own safety. And if you eventually get into any trouble, you

Alex Onyia This advisory action is more of a way to gaslight corpers who are potential victims than it is an advisory for help or protection. It is more of a way to say "we tried our best" even before the kidnap happens.

Me soon!

Alex Onyia Belief in the electoral system is already very low. Most people who sell/sold their votes already assume that the process is constantly rigged. Hence, their votes wouldn't count, even if they do the right thing. The result? "Our votes won't count anyways. Let's collect the

Omoalhaja 1. If you see a task as minor, do it now. Do not keep it for later. 2. Have a to-do list and mark completed tasks. Sometimes, you may find yourself doing tasks on schedule just to get that good feeling you have when you tick your to-do list.

Dr Joe Abah, OON On a large scale, predictability leads to belief in the system. And trust. If the system is predictable, it means it is working the way it is/was designed to, and every input has an expected or known outcome. The day predictability ends is the day chaos is given birth to, in

Alex Onyia I know Nigerians who have used their research to contribute to their respective fields globally, from Nigeria. But the number is small. Prof. Francisca Okeke (UNN). Her research on geomagnetism and equatorial electrojet phenomenon. Prof. Ganiyu Oboh (FUTA). Functional Foods and

Alex Onyia In my opinion, how research is used to develop Nigeria is not something the researcher alone has control over. Are they policies in place to turn excellent research from theory into practical? If the researcher wants to even try test-run his research on a small scale? Is there

CaraxesVhagar DLP 🦭/acc Having PhDs who help to sustain the broken system is like shooting all of us (including themselves) in the foot. Reason? If the government is competent, they'd also benefit in different ways, one of which is their research.

Dr Joe Abah, OON Yes. The same way the Pope is the Bishop of Rome but has up to 4 archbishops/cardinals (if I'm not mistaking) taking charge of the Archdiocese on his behalf.

Alex Onyia The issue of achieving academic success by cramming starts from Nursery/Primary School, where all pupils, irrespective of their learning capabilities, are packed into a class and asked to repeat words and phrases. There is no individual assessment to determine what methods fit

Dr Joe Abah, OON Reminds me of my dad. Man is not an occasion type of person. He's always looking forward to taking the next steps in whatever he's doing. His highest celebration is "bring that bottle of wine." Once in a while.

Dr Joe Abah, OON There's a big possibility that iPhone users around Banex, who go ahead to buy this iPhone Pocket, may have different user experiences to share with Apple. Most users won't find it fascinating to share their iPhone Pocker user experience from another device 😁

Alex Onyia More emphasis on skills. Skills can exponentially move you from low to high in a very short time, depending on the level of seriousness you give to it. Being poor is generally demoralising, and it kills a person's social immune system against many unwanted things. Only skills

Alex Onyia When you hear "what has the government done for me?" or "how has the government helped me and my small business?" You just know it's as a result of people not believing that the government is making any efforts to support them. Because truly, the efforts are not made.

Alex Onyia When the government leaves you with no choice but a mindset to provide for yourself, you don't take it for granted. You keep working smart and hard. And when you finally leave Nigeria to a country that rewards hard/smart work, you're shocked that you're getting 100x rewards.

Alex Onyia In the case of teachers, I have a different opinion. The quality of teachers in any given society is directly proportional to how their capacity is built. And who is in charge of building their capacity? The government through policies, training, and welfare. If teachers are

Alex Onyia A teacher's training, salary, and work approach reflects greatly on the people he/she is teaching. A teacher earning 100k cannot teach you, the student, how to earn a million. Simply because they have never been there before. If the people responsible, mostly the government, do

Alex Onyia The children we fail to educate today will destroy society tomorrow. The policies the government fails to implement towards educating children today may cause grave damages in the near future. In Nigeria's case, we're seeing the effects already. No hashtags can curb what's
