I am convinced that we just enjoy drama & stress in Nigeria, because #sexforgrades is something a not-so-sharp 12-year-old will solve permanently in minutes.

@ASUUNGR too is quite useless. Ask for these simple things that or deal with demonic lecturers for the next 30 years. Won't be surprised if people are still buying handouts too..
Speaker of @nassnigeria tweeting. Documentary viewings everywhere. Stories coming out and parents recalling experiences. Folks clamoring to 'catch' more people.
Somebody just fix the damn thing! @OfficialNUC exists for what? Christ..
This is why I'm skeptical about sensible people joining the system. If the problems that don't require any sense are not solved, of what value would be your expertise & critical thinking for complex issues?
Country can't tie a shoelace but always trying to do heart surgery..
Sometimes you want to do something on the policy side of things to, you know, maybe contribute to country, then you remember that these people are maintaining entire religious pilgrimage agencies for NO defensible reason..
Like this thread.. how does any one man have any control over official results? Why is his signature necessary? Stupid school.
Official results was received 3 days later from isolated Caribbean island. No HOD to beg. I did my NYSC at Uniben's exams & records office. Desperate student always came in to beg me to help find their grades. ME, the corper...

So, I promised to review the Nigerian budget and point out 100 agencies that are useless and need to be scrapped. I've spent over 4 hours going line by line and I can't. The whole budget is a scam and I'll shred my passport in the end if I continue.
If you want to know what an MDA is doing or what a government's priority is, just look at the budget. It is clear that our government don't know what they're doing across-board.
Look at this Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute nspri.gov.ng or this Federal College of Agricultural Produce Technology fcapt.edu.ng with a combined budget of N9bn. I guarantee you that all they do there is buy bread & beans all day.
When the money man asks you for Jumia-type ambitions, ask for Jumia-sized cheques! Raised <$450k (@ N200:1) in capital for SureGifts in 5 years, a third of which is in Notes. It's tight on the streets, but it's possible with a lot of grit and creativity. I'll share a few lessons:
1. Don't launch. Stay in fucking beta for 3 years if you have to until you have a thousand billion real or fake users. Your novelty clock starts ticking when you launch, and if you're African African, you don't get the chance to experiment post-launch. You grow or you're dead.
2. Unless the blood of YC is on your forehead, pedigree matters. BSc. Computer Science from Unilag and freelance developer for two years is not raising $2m, period.
