My girlfriend has this habit of giving men who approach her my number 😭

🚨👀 Michael Carrick on what he wants from midfielders for Man United: “You need to have composure, poise and be positive”. "You need to have the physical strength to deal with the quick transitions in the way we want to play and to create excitement”, told Sky Sports.

Asking a lady her age is very disrespectful.

Sometimes I envy people when quick born. I know a lady who is my agree mate, she is now a grandma. I do call her young grandma. Hey daughter got married legally. It's actually good to give birth quite early. So that by 30+ you are already a granny and by 50+ you should be expecting a great grandchild. 70+ sakprigodo dun come. But most of us are having our first child after 30. With this current trend, we will be lucky to even see all our grandchildren.

TINUBU'S NEW POLICY FOR UNIVERSITIES WILL MAKE THEM TO WAKE UP AND THINK LIKE A BUSINESS. Tinubu Government Directs Universities to Fund Lecturers’ Allowances Internally — Nigerians Fear Tuition Hikes. But There’s a Bigger Economic Picture. The Federal Government has now directed public universities to begin paying the new Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) for lecturers. Using internally generated revenue while waiting for full budget implementation. Many students are already panicking about possible tuition increases. And honestly, their fears are understandable. The allowance is massive: • Graduate Assistants — over ₦1 million yearly. • Senior lecturers and professors — over ₦3 million yearly. • Tax-free funding for research, books, software, journals, conferences, and fieldwork. But here is the main koko... For decades, Nigerian universities depended almost entirely on Abuja allocations while operating like non-business entities. You know I am an advocate of government thinking like a business? Tinubu is doing the right thing. The world changed. Today: • American universities make billions from patents, sports, research grants, technology, alumni donations, and international students. • Chinese universities are directly linked to manufacturing and industrial growth. • Singapore transformed universities into innovation centers feeding the economy. • South Korea tied universities to national technology development. Nigeria cannot continue funding 21st-century education with a 1970s economic structure. This policy may look harsh now, but the Tinubu administration appears to be pushing universities toward economic productivity instead of total federal dependence. Universities sit on thousands of hectares of land, research talent, intellectual property, consultancies, agricultural projects, technology hubs, medical services, and business opportunities — yet many generate very little revenue. The government’s argument is simple: “If lecturers are to receive globally competitive research and academic support allowances, institutions themselves must begin creating value.” That's simple. Painful? Yes. Risky? Yes. But economically, this is part of a wider reform agenda shifting Nigeria from a consumption economy to a productivity economy. The danger, however, is this: If university management simply transfers the burden to poor students through endless “sundry charges,” then the policy could worsen inequality and reduce access to education. That is where leadership matters. Universities must now become innovative: • commercialize research • partner industries • attract private endowments • monetize innovations • expand professional programs • improve agricultural and technology ventures • reduce corruption and waste A university should not only produce job seekers. A university should become an economic engine. This is how China built industrial power. This is how America dominates technology. This is how Asian nations used education to create wealth. Nigeria is now entering that difficult transition stage where institutions are being forced to survive beyond federal oil money. The real question is: Will Nigerian universities reform and innovate Or simply increase school fees and punish students? Ugoji Maximillian
