If Nairaland Were A Country, by yemmyma: 3:17pm On May 22, 2012 |
I look at this forum always as a convergence of bright Nigerians. So many professional inquiries on career, academics and so on. Everyday we keep seeing people from all walks of life coming here for some sort of advice. Illiteracy as we know can be pointed out as one of the drawbacks of our suffering democracy. But looking around Nairaland, i would assume more than 80% of the forum users have atleast a B.Sc. I really don't have any estimate on the figures of the forum users but i can conclude on one fact that the number is quite on the upside. Above 100K? Someone help me! If the population of Nairaland was to be made a country, do you think it will be better off in decision making considering the level of education of the users than the current Nigeria we have? or are we just made as a country to speak in different tongues regardless of our level of education and civilization? Please help me out my people... |

yamakuza: Have you been to all parts of Nairaland? Did you know what aroused my interest in this topic? Before i answer you, in what area did i generalize? |
Re: If Nairaland Were A Country, by yemmyma: 3:56pm On May 22, 2012 |
MRbrownJAY: @OP Well yeah, part of what brought about the topic and how educated or enlightened people can be so differentiated by simple topics that only needs common sense to conclude. |

yemmy_ma:my response was in 2 parts. The 2nd part would be implied if the answer to the 1st is as i strongly suspect, hence my crossing it out. I could be wrong, as i often am always, but i think you spend a lot of your time on only a tiny part of this country called NL, no? |
Re: If Nairaland Were A Country, by yemmyma: 4:28pm On May 22, 2012 |
well, my navigation through the country lands me on the front page and career section respectively. So i guess i sampled my observation on the numerous politics, religion, and what have we sections i can see from the front page. And trust me, you don't have to go further from the front page to start wondering why and how do we think so differently. 1 Like |

Having established the basis of your discourse, i guess its safe to proceed. yemmy_ma: I look at this forum always as a convergence of bright Nigerians. So many professional inquiries on career, academics and so on. Everyday we keep seeing people from all walks of life coming here for some sort of advice. Illiteracy as we know can be pointed out as one of the drawbacks of our suffering democracy. But looking around Nairaland, i would assume more than 80% of the forum users have atleast a B.Sc. I really don't have any estimate on the figures of the forum users but i can conclude on one fact that the number is quite on the upside. Above 100K? Someone help me! i daresay over half of the active users on NL are teenagers/undergraduates, 25% fresh graduates and another 20% , the seniors. That would put the graduates at roughly 45% of 400k to 500k active users. I stand to be corrected though. |

Well, i should have rephrased my statement with *at least are in an undergraduate studies*. My general assertion was to say that everybody should be able to answer questions more technically than those who have never been to an higher institution. |

@OP, Methinks someone answered a question in a way you did not like. Abi? |
Re: If Nairaland Were A Country, by yemmyma: 2:49pm On May 24, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: @OP, Well, you could say that but i guess the other responder knew what i was driving at. My main reason for posting that original piece was to create some other form of career discussion than we are currently seeing. From time to time i will post some things that comes to mind and share for like minds to engage in something more thoughtful. 1 Like |
