PoliteActivist: A sane and insane person can both come up with a crazy idea. And both can come up with sane ideas too Behaviour is socially constructed(to an extent). 100 years ago it was normal for women to walk around without covering their upper body, now we see such and assume she must be a madwoman |

PoliteActivist: And in the future, what will people do? What if we start taking our clothes off again (which naturists do) and it becomes the new "normal"? |

midnighter: Exactly! So u see my point. No behaviour is intrinsically insane. It depends on how most people view it at that moment in time |

I must say that I have not read every post but find enough disgusting. This is why we do not have good schools in Nigeria. A Nigerian graduate that was lucky to get a job with foreign oil company even boast abroad that they prefer foreign graduates, which is true. This is why most Africans are lured out. The difference is that the first generation that schooled abroad could not wait to get back home after seeing through the deception and hypocrisy of the people they had admired and schools they glorified. They came back home and fough the hypocrites demanding Independence. Listen, that you went to Harvard or Oxford does not quarantee success. At the end of your program, the best companies will come to your schools to recruit. At the end of the recruitment, the only ones left without a job in business, law, medicine and engineering are minorities. Of course lucky token few will be recruited but watch how long they last with those companies. Disappointed black, Hispanic and foreign students have to use their own initiatives to hustle for jobs, start their own business selling the prestigious schools they attended. Many have to seek counseling because they cannot admit or believe it. Some of those come back to Africa lying to you and themselves. The ones you celebrate and beat your chest about, never tell you how they are kicked, disrespected and fired in spite of their success in their fields. Africans, when are you going to face the truth and realities and learn from your first generation that bitterly fought for political Independence which this generation is selling back as economic Dependence by trying to become foreign currency billionaires? You go try so tey until you sell your next generations into slavery again. Ndi ......., Oponu, Barawo! 1 Like |

PoliteActivist:To start with, there is nothing like First Class when classifying undergraduate degree. It's Magna cum Laude, Summa laude etc. It's pretty difficult to finish from HARVARD or any TOP 25 school in Engineering with the highest class possible and return to Oshodi to teach. This can only be possible if you deliberately took the decision, but of options? Nah, I disagree big time. |

NoFap123: With due respect, if u remove emotion, u will see I'm the one right. Yoighaman is wrong. You just can't say such a thing is impossible. IT IS POSSIBLE. I know because I've seen something close. Difficult, yes. Rare, yes. But not impossible. As 4 your post above, when addressing a British or Nigerian forum u use "first class" because that's what they will umderstand 1 Like |

PoliteActivist: Insane ideas come from insane people!! It's illogical to separate both. Galileo and the rest were called insane by everyone during their time. There is even sad stories of scientists who committed suicide because people called them insane for their theories. Only for future generations to celebrate them later. The term "insanity" isn't clear as you would think, as what is insane today could become sane decades later. 3 Likes |

Focusmind: I am definite, the case is different with IT companies. I know so many people(Africans and other foreigners) working in IT firms in Berlin, Dusseldorf, Koln, Dortmund without any German... but obviously, knowledge of German will open more opportunities and also edge.

Yoighaman:Bro, always remember that things work in all these developed countries, even with lower grade, you will still get something, but not when you come back to this hollow chambers; your sweat to get little fizzled job for your "MIT parole" may require you getting nothing. It is who you know, how you can beat the rest and be the best. |

I did and I do not regret. I stayed jobless for four years after but wouldn’t trade the experience of schooling outside for anything. I was originally against the idea but when I did two months and slowly realized the tutors guide you on how to develop yourself academically I became a fan. It was a far cry from my four year stay in Nigerian university walls. 1 Like |

romenna: You mentioned that you are a Phd student. I inquired which school it was. You evaded the question and started schooling me on the processes and the need to get an Msc first. Were you right in that? Was that response apt for the question? If that was an exam or interview question, would your response be the same? 1 Like |
