IN NIGERIA, SOME CANDIDATES SEEKING UNIVERSITY ADMISSION CANNOT WRITE THEIR NAMES!!!

By Adeola Aderounmu

This is a true story. It happened this year 2013 in Nigeria.

Some candidates seeking admission to the University queued at a banking hall. They wanted to buy JAMB forms.

Many of them cannot write their names correctly, they used the help of the cashier to enter their names and other banking information to purchase their JAMB forms.

It is shocking that some candidates and students aspiring to study at the university level cannot write their names in Nigeria. Since the system is corrupt, these students will be admitted and someday they will become graduates. Nigeria is totally rotten and the education system is simply a mockery of intellectuality.

How did Nigerians get to this point? Is there a turnaround point ahead of Nigeria?

This country called Nigeria, made by Britain in 1914 is on a free fall. It’s the tragedy the people face and live with. It is very sad.

Nigeria should apologize to Victor Moses and others

By Adeola Aderounmu

Nigeria, especially the sharia states in northern Nigeria, is quite unsafe. There are many unsafe places in the world, like USA and South Africa as common examples. However the reaction of government and authorities to insecurity is very important.

In one of the several murders committed in Northern Nigeria and other places under the disguise of religious riots or religious intolerance, Victor’s parents were murdered. The story has circulated on the internet and many Nigerians have posted it on their facebook pages.

The useless Nigerian government has not thought that it should apologize to Moses. The young man was very influential in the recent victory of Nigeria in South Africa.

The government does not feel sorry at all for all its failings since 1960. Instead the government is looking forward to more failures and disasters.

The insecurity around the country is still on the rise and it appears that Northern Nigeria is under the control of extremists and terrorists of Nigeria, Sudan and Mali.

Victor Moses’ sense of nationalism is exemplary. He appears to be the most patriotic Nigeria ever. Many people will disown Nigeria even under less severe circumstances. His parents were murdered when he was a teenager and after living in England following the disaster he abandoned England and represented Nigeria.

When I look at his plights and his spirit of forgiveness, I could only ask for something like a consuming fire to raze all those who have
destroyed Nigeria and contributed directly and indirectly to the death of his parents.

Moses Victor, may you live long..!

Nigeria Wins AFCON 2013 in South Africa

Adeola Aderounmu

Nigeria defeated Burkina Faso by a lone goal scored in the 40th minute of the match played on the 10th of February.

Sunday Mba scored on sunday to write his name in the history book.

Nigeria won the tournament before in 1980 and 1994.

Stephen Okechukwu Keshi becomes the second man ever to win the trophy as a player and a coach.

Congratulations to the Super Eagles of Nigeria

Ivory Coast Crashes Out of Nations Cup 2013

Adeola Aderounmu

Less fancied Super Eagles of Nigeria have sent the Ivorians packing of the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

The Ivorians are favoured to win the tournament and they were probably looking for a ride over the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Nigeria’s coach Keshi had a plan and it worked.

His side played as calmly as possible and they played very much better than the Ivorians.

Emenike and Mba scored on both sides of the halves while Tiote headed in 1-1 just after the interval.

The Toures, Didier Drogba, Zamora and the boastful Eboue can now end their international career without any glory. This generation of players has been wrongfully tagged the golden generation even when they have not won any major trophy.

Thieves on thieves, Ezekwesili, Yar Adua and Jonathan

By Adeola Aderounmu

The former minister of education Obiangeli Ezekwesili accused Yar Adua and Jonathan of squandering USD 67 billion in foreign reserves. Of course that is so true. In fact the amount may be a fraction of what Yar Adua and Jonathan stole or squandered.
The greater shame is that the stealing is on-going. It is not as if the looting stopped. Nigeria as a country is perpetually bleeding from stolen monies and treasuries being emptied by government and public officials and local and foreign contractors.

Now that the government of Jonathan has responded by telling us that Ezekwesili also looted or mismanaged N459 Billion when she was the Minister of education. That is also correct.
Like I have stated on my blog a thousand times, 99.9% of Nigerian politicians and public servants are looters and thieves.
The process of prosecution is either slow or non-existent at every given point in time. The primary aim of Nigerian politics is for looting. This will continue for eternity as long as the people remain disconnected from governance and as long as the unitary system of government that permits it remains.
Looting and stealing will remain the primary aim of Nigerian politics as long as people get away with looted funds as we have seen since 1960.
Nigerian politics is the greatest hidden tragedy on the face of earth.
There is no end because everybody in politics is corrupt. Even those who appear to be working hard are looting and that is well known.
So yea, Yar Adua and Jonathan looted the reserves. Ezekwesili looted the Ministry of Education. Others are looting wherever they find themselves.
This is Nigeria and it is allowed to be corrupt and above the law. Ask the Babangidas, the Obasanjos and the rest who have bleeded Nigeria and Nigerians.
This is how they do it in Nigeria! So please go to hell!
