11 Signs To Understand A Graduate Is A Half-baked - By Lamma by abumaryam012(m): 2:27pm On Jul 03, 2016
The Ivory Tower is supposed to be a place where one is expected to be well-grounded with the ability to present oneself to the outside world in the best possible way. This is the same reason why people in the northern parts of Nigeria refer to it as ‘Guru’ which literarily means ‘Know it all’.
It is so pathetic to come to terms with the fact that the reverse is the case as can be seen in most graduates today in our society! Below are some signs to show that someone who passed through
the Ivory Tower could still be a half-baked graduate!
1) You can’t apply the uses of the 8 Parts of Speech in speaking and writing.
Some Engineering and Science graduates would tell you that this isn’t important because these are not part of their course of study! What an unforgivable fallacy!!! So what have you been doing during your primary and secondary school days? I know very well that ‘Parts of Speech’ is the foundation of English as far as the subject is concerned. So, it means you have not been serious all those years to learn the foundation of communication!!! Whether you like it or not, English is the lingua-franca in Nigeria and if you can’t communicate fluently in it, you are a half-baked graduate!!!

2) You can’t read beyond two pages of a book.
Reading is basically one of the various ways of learning so if you can’t read beyond two pages of a book, I seriously wonder how you managed to pass your courses in the university! There are graduates who complain frequently about a 20-line write-up being too lengthy to read…they are many on this forum! The truth is that you would definitely miss out on vital information if you have this character and you are no better than a half-baked graduate!!! Quote me if you like!

3) You studied Mechanical Engineering
yet you still take your car to the mechanic workshop to change common engine oil and other little things!

4) You studied Elect/Elect,
yet you can’t even change as simple as a lamp holder in your house! You are a half-baked graduate!!!

5) You can’t teach others!
If you can’t transfer the knowledge and skills you claimed to have acquired in school to others, it surely makes you a half-baked!!!. If the ‘illiterate’ carpenter or welder can transfer his knowledge and skills to others, what stops you from doing same as an ‘educated’ person? Every graduate should have the ability to teach. You would be shocked when you see how some graduates of Political Science teach Government in the schools where they are undertaking their NYSC primary assignment!. Some don’t
even know the meaning of a constitution!

6) You are a half-baked graduate if…
you still lack confidence in conversing intelligently and creating relationships with fellow ambitious and enlightened graduates like you!!! Stop chasing small street girls that hawk one thing or the other and go for your class if you know you are ‘good-to-go’.

7) You are a half-baked graduate if you still cannot read and write efficiently!
As funny as it sounds, some ‘graduates’ can’t read and write as learned folks! Maybe, you need to be enrolled in Reception Class in a nursery school where you can learn the basics of reading and writing.

8. You are a half-baked graduate if you cannot use Microsoft Word!
We will forgive you if you don’t know any other basics in ICT but not Microsoft Word!!! In this modern time? Who go type CV and edit for you?

9) You are a half-baked graduate if…
you still sit joblessly in beer parlours, enthusiastically discussing secret cult escapades you had in school while your mates are busy building their careers in Agip and Exxon Mobil!!!

10) You are a half-baked graduate also if all you could do with your BlackBerry and Iphone6 is to download numerous porn movies and chat with random girls!!!

11) You are a half-baked graduate if you can’t overlook others mistakes but find yourself fighting and quarreling with everyone who offends you be it in the market, on the road, in the park. You hear yourself saying I AM A GRADUATE but you don’t reason and act like one then YOU ARE A HALF-BAKED
GRADUATE!!!

Watch Out! Learn!! Be a graduate in paper and for real!!!

Truth been told as it should be, there are basic undestanding one must acquire in your cause of learning......like forming a good relationship with friends and work mates ....constructing simple and good english those are basic knowledge ....if you can achieve this, you are not half baked

English is not a lingua franca in china. Chinese is an official language so they don't necessarily need to learn english.

NIGERIA AND HER USELESS EDUCATIONAL SECTOR.
If 2y(5x-7y) -6y X +6 = 45 find x.
Yesterday i was in the sitting room watching a program called
China24 on CCTV NEWS, an electric lamp manufacturer was interviewed together with his workers in his factory. The workers are
kids between the ages or 12-18 the most beautiful part of it was that the kids can on their own manufacture same.
Now let's come down to Nigeria.
Nigerian students are busy searching for "x" and learning the use of English while
students in the
developed countries are manufacturing things for the development of their country.
In Nigeria, our engineering students spend nearly all their time solving difficult equations and searching for "x".
In Nigeria, students will be asked to search for "x" I do smile and ask myself how can we use Algebra and simultaneous equation to boost the economy.
How can we use the located "x" to solve the challenges facing us?
In Nigeria, teacher will draw a circle having dots in it on the chalk board and tell the kids "this is an Orange"
imagine.
In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the class room using acid to change litmus paper to red on the chalk board. In fact, in Nigeria the best place to mix acid with base is on chalk board.
In Nigeria, a teacher will be in the class teaching rock and it types
and expect the students to be able to identify them in real sense how possible?
However, the above are some of the reasons why at 50+ as an oil producing country we are still
importing tooth-pick and matches. Our brain has been channel to the fact that failure to go to school will end one up as a domestic servant of the educated ones which I seriously disagree with. We can't all be in the class room at the same time and expect us to catch up with the developed countries, it never done; we will
keep depending on them with such barbaric idea. Let those that are willing to go into sport be on the field or track not in class room, Christiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid FC was expelled from school at the age of 14 and today he is a world footballer.
Let take those that are good in construction to factories or workshops not class room. Let's take away pen from our engineering students and send them out of class.
Let's take away pen from those that are willing to take hoe, cutlass, hammer, saw, screw driver etc.
Our too much dependent on pen is sending us backward.
To me, spending 5, 6 or more years in tertiary institution is nothing but a total waste of time, 3 years is enough for engineering courses.
12 calendar month is enough for food related courses and 3 or 4
years is enough to be a lawyer. Imagine our youth spending 8years of their lives in university and still our Government don't trust on their expertise rather they travel out of the country..
At this juncture, I will like to call on the
government at all level to
look into this and find a lasting solution to it.
Lastly our government should stop sending the
talented ones away
by sending them aboard for training and failed to establish/provide where they will be discharging what they've learnt or the skills they've acquired upon their arrival. If we can do this, I believe that few years to come,
Nigeria will be the greatest country of the world while others will be on the queue at our back.
If you are in support of this say Hi ✋ , if not keep quiet cos the Hi already have it.
God bless Nigeria.
