I have read many of the responses from people supporting this government policy, and I think most are missing the fundamental issue. There is a huge difference between maintaining educational standards and forcing every school through the same examination system. Let me give you a practical example. Take Charterhouse Lagos, which operates the British curriculum, preparing students for IGCSE and A Levels. Now take a typical Nigerian secondary school operating the Nigerian curriculum and preparing students for WAEC and NECO. Both schools have different educational pathways, curriculum structures, assessment systems and academic objectives. Why should the government insist that students from both schools must sit the same Nigerian national examinations? If a student successfully completes Cambridge A Levels and secures admission to a top university abroad, what additional academic competence does compulsory WAEC or NECO participation establish? And why should a school risk losing its operating licence simply because its students follow a credible alternative qualification pathway? Nobody is arguing against national educational standards. We are arguing that educational standards and examination uniformity are NOT the same thing. If the concern is quality assurance, independently assess learning outcomes, recognise equivalent qualifications and hold schools accountable for performance. Instead of investing our energy in modernising outdated curriculum content, improving teacher quality, equipping laboratories and strengthening assessment integrity, we are creating additional examination obligations. The goal of education is to produce knowledgeable, competent and globally competitive students, not to ensure everyone holds the same examination certificate. A country that wants educational excellence must allow different pathways to achieve it. You cannot improve education by confusing uniformity with quality. That is the fundamental flaw in this policy!

Nigerian music has evolved so much. Which older Nigerian song still sounds fresh whenever you hear it?

Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.   Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First. More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.

Are there girls that do this?🤣

How foolish must you be to say Nigera is not poor then spend hundreds of words to explain why Nigeria is poor? Are you okay? If Nigeria is not poor, why are you explaining why Nigeria is poor? You’d think one was listening to Peter Obi.

Now that you have digested the album, what’s your favorite song?

No rent dispute should ever end in blood, and I urge calm on all sides. Yet the viral scenes from Benin City speak to a pain that young renters across Nigeria know well: sudden increases, arbitrary charges, and nowhere fair to turn. I will require states to adopt wage-reflective tenancy laws, regulate excessive upfront rent demands, set clear rules for rent increases and evictions, and create fast, accessible dispute resolution for landlords and tenants alike. A roof over one’s head should not be a battlefield. -AA

Bombs? Our mission doesn't even have bombs at its disposal. Aerial bombardments? Helicopter gunship attacks? Our attack helicopters didn't arrive in Haiti until October 29. Their arrival was widely covered by the media, with plenty of videos and social media posts documenting it. Yet this “report” was published a day before our helicopters even arrived. And as of today, they haven't flown a single mission. These NGOs lie with impunity, while wielding enormous influence over international organizations. They are nothing more than lobbying firms for criminals and cartels, masquerading as humanitarian organizations.
