SA University Students Mock Silly-Looking Laptops & Choose Free 150K Instead by TMKsouth: 5:44pm On Jun 01, 2021
Government-funded students at the Tshwane University of Technology (Pretoria, South Africa) recently got the surprise of their lives when the laptops they were excitedly waiting for from the student fund program (NSFAS) turned out to be quite the joke. Heading online, one student who was given the option between receiving R5,000 (N150,000) for study material or a laptop, shared the snaps of the baby blue laptop that admittedly closely resembles the ones made for kids games.

TUT students and Twitter users alike could not deal with the toaster-looking laptops and wasted no time heading to the app to share various posts about the outdated laptop.

The laptop TUT gives the NSFAS students that chose to get a laptop instead of 5k for book allowance

If only this can happen here

Do you know how happy and glad one will be if the FG decide to gift each undergraduate of a technical institution 15k to aid their project?

But no!, what this country is known for is killing, kidnapping and terrorism sponsored by the government itself

Spits on this doomed country

I'm not sure about Nigerian varsities.

In South Africa the government is issuing laptops because of the Covid lockdown. But even before then they got free data on their phones to assist with their studies and some educational sites zero-rated.

The WHITES left NIGERIA too quick.
We didn't learn anything from them.
Dey just gave CAVEMEN administration 2 manage.
Did we really known the rudiments of governance when the colonial masters left.?
That's why we are where we are today.
How can you give a BMW 5 SERIES to a VILLAGE PALM WINE tapper and expect excellence?
Of what relevance will that be to him.

Just imagine a country having PMB as president in this 2021. What an Apology!
A president who knows nothing about Education or Green Energy, yet he's surrounded by learned elites who keep mum to avoid being maimed.
Yet he attends all the summits abroad, returns home only 2 visits COWS in Funtua & Daura.

Install node on this system and you knock it out sharperly.
I doubt if vscode can even run on this system.
