      Outside we go win awards as d best. Bring ds guy home to showcase what he studied, the lawless system here will make him lazy. He will start enriching himself with tax payers money and will not do any tangible work.

    When Nigerians who make the country proud are mentioned, we know where they come from. If Nigeria does not give chance to her best achievers, she will continue to crawl, groan and follow-follow like this!

    Which one concern Buhari and science. Buhari has NEVER made any single comment or allusion to science since the last 30 years that I know him.

    To him science does not matter. Only islam matters
