@buzegee

finally. some more people with sense
anyway i respect everyone. i respect all professions. nothing personal against anybody. it just irks me to see a woman pounding yam manually in 2011 or grinding pepper with stones. like wtf ? this aint stone age period. or is it ?

Hey, slow down a minute! You cant judge that part except you're like me friend from Ekiti!
An original expert and he insists, NOTHING compares to the Iyan your Mama makes with those biceps!
And for good measure, do you occasionally take the "drops of sweat" that falls-in and makes the thing sooo-smoooth?

He went to the U.K and air-cargo a standard issue "Odoo" all the way down and he does it like no man!
Except that his neighbor had called-in the Police a few times!
The old scraggy bas*stard thinks he was pounding a humanbeing!

She said "all that hard work cant be for a few morsels of food, what amount of energy does it give you in return?

On a more serious note, anyone that has eaten "the two" (Poundo-Yam and "hard-core" Pounded yam) knows that "The difference is Clear"!

What do you exepect? Making Pounded Yam inside a Microwave!
God forbid bad rubbish!
(draws his Oodo out from under the bed and rolls his shirt sleeves up for some Pounding exercises!)

what do i do for a living you asked in one of your questions ? i currently sell gala at oworonsoki. pays the rent

Now that's what l call "Professionalism"!
Just be good at what you do!
And "show me the moneey"!

The Nigerian auto mechanics are also outdated,they use to function on trial and error before,but now they have been left behing after the production of hybrid cars,they will simply spoil your car.some will marvel once they open the bonnet and see the engine.As per the Nigerian doctors,does ones are now in full time business with indian hospitals,take a walk in pune,mumbia,hydrabad,Dehli,and you will see Nigerian patients all over who have been refered from Nigeria to treat themselves ,some doctors get commission for the number of patient sent over.I actually saw a Nigerian who did not have money for the heart surgery ,but his family were only able to get the plane ticket for him,they taught they will help him on humanitarian ground,but it did not happen,he died.

i am not useless

"! ; naija mechanics i have no kinda experience with but i can just imagine the modus operandi of 'discover as I go along'

Who said you were ? you my friend are very useful

Used seven years to complete a five year program in a nigerian university. Remember the 94 ASUU strike? Did not really felt i learnt anything of value.I tell you some of my lecturers were just plain dumb(and i say this without apologies to nobody).We have PHD holders who got there solely on the wings of plagiarism. I am in the oil sector and you need to see how our engineers are rated by roadside technicians called expats. Appalling i tell you. Don't ask i do not know the solution.

D poster probably failed maths & physics in waec n jamb and couldn't get admitted to study engineering,

D idiot's just thrash talking,

Putting all these together, l will conclude by saying that "the Engineers" are not the problem, our environment is the problem!
What sort of engineering prowess do you expect from a country where the Presidential Villa makes a yearly budget for "GENERATORS"?
We have a govt that pays "lip-service" to technological advancement, that is just the fact and l am not surprised, in a country that is 50yrs old, we just got a first graduate President at 48yrs!
And they are not even "honors" graduates
In a country where the head of the CBN is a graduate of Islamic Banking! (where are the chartered Accountants, the Economists, the Financial Managers, e.t.c ?)
In a country where mediocrity is the order [/b]of the day and round pegs are put in square holes, just because we must abide by "Federal Character and Quota Systems"? (Name one developed Nation that operates on Quota system or Federal Character?)

[b]The system we operate right now is just so rotten we should actually recognize the "ingenuity" of Nigerian Engineers (and students in general) who can survive the constant abuse and deprivation called Nigerian Educational system.
What manner of Engineers can you produce from Universities with empty Laboratories and constant black-outs? Is that the students fault?

Maybe "buzeege" is still too young or too[b] inexperienced to grasp the enormity of the 'rot' and hence his frustration n "Nigerian Engineers" but really, they are not the problem.

Gbam!!!^^^ the highlighted

Have you ever wondered why our own rich men (even if they did loot our national treasury) will rather stash their loot in Monaco, Belize or a Swiss bank, rather than "multiply it" by investing in such innovations?

^^ They don't believe enough in the nation let alone trust that their money will be safe despite their exalted positions. You put your money where you have faith and confidence in .

If some guys in the jungle could do this, Imagine what a Nigerian grad could do.

I come from Kenya and i can attest to the fact that most of our young professionals are only good in theory.

Just say you are another frustrated dude like some of my compatriots here. Your case is even worse than the people insulting Nigerian engineers.

Who said you were ? you my friend are very useful

thank you very much. the situation in nigeria is very bad for our engineers

I believe that engineering in Nigeria has come of age. however i think its time we take it to a higher level. If all civil engineers would stop encouraging the construction of projects with substandard products, and engineers in other engineering fields too decide to insist on quality and not just personnal gratification. I think we would make the country a better and safer place for us all. The reason why people avoid Nigerian products and services is noting but quality. In the past we started well but along the line we missed it. I say we all take the time to look inward and retrace our steps. We should all have a standard .

The money to carry out a project is all ways available. There are financial institutions that are ready to fund projects, it's just that most of us just want to be given the money just like that without any concrete plan that can give the financed a well detailed information of the proposed project. So its either that we are not convining them well enough or we are not doing our home work properly.

yessssss keeee

am a Nigerian and on my own av design and build alot of engineering stuff; UAV, Unman sea vehicle, semi automatic rifle, weather adapted window and other interesting project, but I can say my major problem is funding & I beleive this also applies to many people in this country...but to sum it all I beleive Nigerian engineers are very good.
