In Nigeria, education is both a debt and death sentence

THE Education Rights Campaign, ERC, applauds the victory of South African students over attempts to impose a steep rise in registration, tuition and accommodation fees ranging from 8% to 12%. Playing active role in this important struggle is the Socialist Youth Movement, SYM, – the ERC’s sister organisation in South Africa that also campaigns for free and democratically-managed public education as the ERC does in Nigeria.

The ‪#‎FeesMustFall‬ protests started as a spontaneous movement from below of angry students who could not tolerate the pro-rich policy of university managements and the government any longer.

After ten days of struggle, the African National Congress, ANC, government of Jacob Zuma was forced to agree to 0 % fee increase in the year 2016. Although the demand for free education remains unachieved yet, this concession is no doubt a humiliating defeat of a government whose pro-rich policies have contributed to making South Africa one of the most unequal countries in the world.

Scammers: Everywhere You Go! -

He had always wanted to start farming. Encouraged by my foray into farming, this junior friend of mine bought a small acreage somewhere in the tropical rain-forest of the Southwest. He wanted to start small and build his holding. He was busy looking for money to start as a way of gaining financial independence and prepare for his later years.

About three weeks ago, he called me that some folks came from Moor Plantation in Ibadan to market improved seeds for them. I ask to see the seeds and I was even interested because I wanted to start investing in cash crops. Among the seeds he he brought to me was Apple. Apple? In Southern Nigeria? Maybe they know something I don't know. When it comes to Agriculture, I know a lot! Especially tropical plants. I grew up farming. We made our own Gari, Cassava flour, palm oil, locust beans and grow our own yams. The only thing we ate that we did not grow were rice and beans. The seeds include oil palm, plantain, cocoa and all sorts. I looked at the handout he brought as my copy and the price list. I recall making the observation that oil palm seeds are kernels but generally I did not delve deeper. Since they were going to have a seminar for buyers I can ask the questions later. I was particularly interested in their clearing rates. I spent millions clearing my farms, I couldn't imagine someone offering such ridiculous rates.

Yobe State Is Under Attack, Churches Are Being Burnt Says CAN

Profile picture (Shekau)

CAN have raised a fresh alarm that Christians and everything that belongs to them is under attack by Boko Haram terrorist group in Yobe State.

Initially, Christians were the main target of the Islamist Boko Haram terrorist atrocities when the crisis in the North-east started but later turned to be the attacks against any perceived opposing voice either from Christians or Muslims and even lately against the innocent Nigerian citizens.


The Abuja branch of CAN released something that seems like a BB message on Friday. CAN is the umbrella body the Christian Association of Nigeria.

Below is the message from CAN on the latest attack:
"BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!! Yobe states is boiling now, churches are being burnt, many xtians killed. Pls pray even if its 5mins & 4wrd 2 others. Don't ignore, cry 2 our God against those Terrorists. He'll hear & heal our land; frm CAN Abuja. Pls send 2 @ least 10 xtians".

ANALYSIS OF THE MATTERS OF O-STATE OF OSUN STATE

I'm particularly interested on whether Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, O-State governor , performed well or not during his 5 years in Office as 27th November approaches.
Some are of the opinion that the O-governor has turned the State around while others are of the opinion that the O-governor has not justified the resources at his disposal with the tarrying projects he was making media promotion all around about.

The true State of the O-State and the Os

A. O-Schools

This is a program of the government of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in the education sector to build new structures in the selected public Schools.

The government promised to construct 20 High Schools, 25 Middle Schools and 40 Elementary Schools across the state.
