Educational system in Nigeria is dangerous: Why lectures are responsible for 70% of adult suicide in schools

The troubling questions most Nigerians refuse to ask themselves probably due to its complicated and complex nature is 'why are Nigeria students taking their own lives in schools?'  First thought that will undoubtedly come to mind is the students' financial and economic struggles as a result of the badly managed government. Nigeria's current problems include bribery and corruption, senile leadership, food insecurity, inflation, fuel difficulties, Forex challenges, and, most cruelly, widespread thievery by public officials. Second thought could be social, or peer pressure, emotional blackmail or relationship matters. Third reason is the radical policy of the incumbent president Bola Ahmed Tinubu who ensured subsidized education was eradicated and replaced with student loan.  But the major reason which has contributed more deaths than the aforementioned is the role of lecturers and other public officials in the educational system.  Do you know that once a student is admitt...

Ending poverty: 5 excellent ways the federal government can end poverty in Nigeria

Everywhere you go around the world they're people who are impoverished, broke, dependent on the state and in some pathetic state, neglected by the state for one reason or the other.  Some countries have drastically reduced poverty by ensuring the needs of the people are meant by investing in both capital and human resources while other countries have struggled badly to achieve similar state despite investing in trillions.  Nigeria falls into the second category; despite spending trillions of naira on both capital and human resourcs, 75% of its citizens still live in extreme poverty. What steps must the government take thereafter to eradicate or significantly reduce poverty. Surprising right, but they're much deeper reasons why Nigeria is a failed state and what must be done to combat poverty.  1. The federal government must empower ambitious Nigerian and stop over bloating the ministry with incompetent staffs- People who are ready to be self-sufficient, create industries...

Fighting corruption: Why Nigeria must introduce death sentence for all corrupt office holders?

According to Section 33 of the Nigerian constitution, capital crimes include those relating to terrorism, third-degree murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, incest, helping someone who is legally incapable of consenting to suicide, perjury, and military mutiny. The following crimes are eligible for the death penalty, yet none of them address the main problem impeding Nigeria's advancement and development. The country possesses both human and material resources to rival any nation in the world but yet, the nation swallows in abject poverty; malnutrition, illiteracy, delipidated or broken-down infrastructure, communal wars, gang related violence, banditry, terrorism, and worst of all, spread of infectious disease in both rural an urban area.  Like many other countries, Cameroon has expressed its concerns about the grave extent of bribery and corruption in all spheres of the national economy and the damage it is bringing to the future of its ci...

3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich

After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match.  To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him.  With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them.  Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support.  Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: ...

The man on a mission: Darwin Nunez to decide Manchester City vs Liverpool clash

Finally, the real Darwin Nunez is standing up. He is smashing the screamers from distance, tight angles and nearly impossible shooting angles. Nunez is a man on fire, his confidence is so high that he tries audacious tricks and shooting drills to the amazement of the fans who all know soon one of those shots will rattle the net.  The penultimate clash between Liverpool and Manchester City will be decided by a small margin and the victor will likely end the season as Premier League Champions.  No disrespect to Arsenal and their determination to be champions but over the years, the Gunners have shown a high level of inconsistency for others to predict with ease that they will crumble when the intensity heightens.   Is good though that Arsenal are fighting hard to compete. This makes the Premier League much more interesting to watch. Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all vying to be champions and that's good for the English game.  While Arsenal hopefuls an...

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...
