I need to be harsh. Apart from Facebook and Twitter, plus Sexuality section on Nairaland, our recent graduates and current undergrads are not doing anything else with their lives. Now they want to run abroad to continue their indolence. They should all be caned, before i even give them any info.

I wish you people know the battle we fight with our oyinbo employers, who are always looking for opportunities to stick a foreigner in our midst, to earn heavy dollars and live in Ikoyi. Na the laws of Nigeria no allow dem.


If your popsy has enough money to send you to Harvard, na your luck be that. But if your popsy is like mine, won't you borrow yourself brain?

This thread is the funniest I ever read on this section especially when the OP's 1st class is called into question (digging from his other thread) and how if man no know, he would've convinced man say na English just be him problem. Whilst, science fellas do struggle with English language, I strongly disagree that it gets to a stage of 'struggling' to construct simple terms - we need to remember that your mathematics knowledge is kinda &*^^ if you can't communicate effectively. Makes me remember a lady who went for a conference with guys from different disciplines only to express her disgust at everyone using 'big big' terms and really not getting any message to participants.



I like the part of spanking Messrs Ajanlekoko, it's unfortunate some/most (depending on the statistics) youths have their orientation skewed and I observe this is largely due to the ineffectiveness or absence of G&C from high schools to universities. I get worried when some can't write well on facebook for example even if you're not graded there. Perhaps, that's why twitter has more ffs (maybe it's for those who "wryt lyk ds"wink).
Methinks, we need to kill off this 'slave mentality' affecting many of us here. Truth is, we sometimes don't know why we went to school. Stop succumbing to the mugunness that the oyibo's own is always better - I don't want to be miscontrued o but what the world needs are solutions and you're simply a 'tool' to make their engines work. Your certificate is like a manual that is not read if you can't deliver. As usual, my mantra has always been that you make the best use of what you got (and never limit yourself to just your discipline) - most schools of thought are interwoven in one way or the other.


Thanks to everyone here for making my day.

P.S. Aja, I'd PM you lera. Need you lera.. cool

The Op is a blatant liar. I didn't hear of any first class student from Maths department this year.

Highest you guys produced was a 2:1 but all the same your English sucks and need to work harder.

Using past tense in place of present tenses doesn't really bode well for someone who claims to have a first class.

You must be well rounded in all aspects.

Guy, which planet are you from? Unilorin produced five (5) first class in mathematics this year, and i do not doubt his (Op's) claim.
So, try to do your research well before you come on puplic forum as this to call people names.

Plus, I am about to be harsh with you too, my broda. You left opportunities like that to pursue foreign paper?
Foreign paper is not running anywhere. Some organizations are even paying for staff to get foreign paper from solid schools. So many things that can't just be said here on Nairaland. I suppose just dey look as people carry on with their foolishness.

If your popsy has enough money to send you to Harvard, na your luck be that. But if your popsy is like mine, won't you borrow yourself brain?

P.S. 2:1 is almost as good as first class. They will call you to tests and interviews. Now up to you to show your mettle.

Hi Aj,
what about a 2:1 in math from a top Federal university? I am one, and seem to buy your arguements- so credible to be overlooked. Inasmuch as I'm half a step closer to landing a KPMG job, I'd still relish the prospect of being coveted by other top companies around like you succintly pointed out. I don't think I'm doing badly intellectulally myself- you may wish to do a verification on this. I sure look forward to hearing from you(** at yahoo dot co dot uk). What a polymath you are! I'm so impressed

Yours truly,
mcstan_18

It's Good To Know You Appreciate The Great Work The Aforementioned NLDers Are Doing. It Is Also A Nice Desire To Want To Mee Them.

Inasmuch As I Would Also Like To Meet Them, I Suggest We Make The Best Use Of Their Knowledge/Experience Now, And Inevitably, We Shall Get Our Desires.

There are a number of career options for a math graduate in telecom. But you have to work your way in that direction.

- Marketing: Business Intelligence and Market Planning, or Market Research.
- IT: Software engineering, solutions development.
- Finance: Revenue Assurance/Audit

Since you have a first class, why not pursue a career in consulting. The telcos in Nigeria consume a lot of consulting services, from the Big Four as well as offshore firms like Mckinsey, Booz & Co, Delta Partners, Peppers & Rodgers, etc. You should start by pursuing career options in Accenture, PwC, E&Y, Deloitte, or KPMG. With a first class, you are very likely to get a place with one of them. Every one of them have regular engagements with the big telcos, and they will give you the necessary training and exposure you need, to land a good telco position.

[size=3pt]In fact, it's people like you that i would gladly pay for their masters abroad. Not the ones who should ideally be driving trucks for Dangote[/size] grin

Though looking at your original post again . . . did you really make a first class, or you just opened a can-of-gulder thread? undecided

@ Ajanlekoko, VERY FUNNY!
@ Nitrogen, the excuses are real but there is more corruption in the so called abroad than we have in Nigeria.

The LIBOR saga, money laundering issue with HSBC and other stuff is a good testimony to this. [size=14pt]The light issue will soon be a thing of the past and would have been long before now ( as far back as 2001-2002) if Nigerians had supported the initial privatization exercise.[/size] If you are following the exercise closely you will see that a group of people at the helm of affairs at NEPA are just delaying the whole exercise for their selfish reasons. How do you explain over 30 billion missing from a closed pension scheme managed by the union guys?

Finally going abroad to study is just 'a means to an end and not an end in its self'


nitrogen, why you waking up this thread now, see what I just found! 2012!!

Mr Nitrogen, we do know the value of a BSc. Mathematics, but I guess the Nigeria's situation isn't in anyway helping. I graduated with 2.1 in Mathematics (4.25), I also have a MSc Mathematical Sciences (81%) and yet I sit at home day in day out, waiting for mails or messages from organizations and institutions I've applied to. Knowing one's competency is good, of which I can categorically say I do know I am competent, nevertheless I seek opportunities to show my skills and dexterity, whereas I find none up till now. It can be so frustrating, all we hear is people saying 'you don't know the value of what you have'. What value does it have if the chances stay a mile away from us?

What are you doing besides sitting home and waiting for emails and phone calls? That you have a good degree doesn't mean squat. That you think you are competent doesn't mean much either...

What have you done to ensure your skills are being seen by the people that have the ability to make a difference in your situation?
