If You Can Consistently Pay Rent, You May Already Be Proving That You Can Pay for a Home For many Nigerians, paying rent has become one of the biggest recurring financial obligations. Every year, tenants work hard to raise hundreds of thousands or even millions of naira to secure or renew accommodation. But there is an important question worth asking: If you can consistently pay rent, could you also be capable of paying toward owning a home? The answer will depend on your income, property prices, financing terms and personal financial obligations. However, the question opens up an important conversation about the difference between simply paying for accommodation and building long-term financial security.

The North: Time for Self-Reflection and Accountability

Image
The North: Time for Self-Reflection and Accountability In a recent thought-provoking commentary, Shehu Sani urged the North to look within and take accountability for the region's challenges. His powerful words prompt reflection on a variety of societal issues, which, if addressed, could lead to greater prosperity and unity. 1. Education and Youth Development Despite free public schooling, many children in the North remain uninterested in education. Addressing this requires creating a culture that values learning and developing mentorship programs to inspire youth. 2. Empowering Women Cultural norms often discourage women from working or contributing economically. When men pass on, many women are left vulnerable.

Seizure of Allocation to States and LGAs: Get the Facts Right In Nigeria, discussions around federal allocation and the authority of the president have stirred debates, especially regarding states creating new Local Government Areas (LGAs). Let's break down the facts in the landmark case Attorney General of Lagos State v.

This directive aimed to halt funding to states like Lagos, who had expanded their local government structure. The Supreme Court’s Standpoint The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Uwais, addressed the heart of the dispute. His words resonate clearly: "The President has no such power." The c...
