I have no idea what u are talking about & how it relates to d comment I made

Not surprising...

lexy2014:
But u are in d business of discussing other people with unknown people on d internet.

Is it safe to say that there's nothing in ur history worth discussing?

I am discussing PUBLIC figures on a PUBLIC forum...

I am not so insecure as to try to seek the validation of anonymous individuals on Nairaland...
Nonetheless, intelligent people recognize the reality extends beyond their own personal space.

lexy2014:
Why aren't u on d list of people u just mentioned since u say "we could go on and on infinitum..."

Because I am not in the business of discussing myself with unknown people on the Internet...

Masters in any field of his choosing ambition anything other than stealing extorting killing engaging in unsocial and ethic defied mission are welcomed. So courses are irrelevant here in asmuch as he has capability ability resilience intellectual prowess to do his chosen field unshamefully.

Huh?

Not exactly sure I what point you are struggling to make...
But I am the dude who stated above that education is NEVER wasted.

Nonetheless, if you are getting a degree solely to get a job...
Then the PERTINENT question is whether your degree is RELEVANT to the needs of the job market!

lexy2014:
Not entirely. it shows that nigeria is a scam for emphasing western education without providing western jobs

Someone plants and grows seeds for you...
And you want him to harvest, cook and feed you.

Nigeria, a geographic location where dreams are DESTROYED on a daily basis!

It’s ALSO a geographic location where an orphaned apprentice like Cosmas Maduka (Choscharis) becomes a billionaire...
Where the son of an illiterate tailor (and an ex-tailor himself) like Razak Okoya ends up a billionaire industrialist...
Where someone like Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson), with only a basic education ends up being a billionaire industrialist...
Where a self-described “village boy from Egbu” (a village in Owerri) like Pascal Dozie builds a successful bank...
Where sons of civil servants like Tony Elumelu and Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede become Africa’s biggest bankers and philanthropists...
Where a little girl from a modest family like Ibukun Awosika builds a furniture business and ends up on international boards...
Where a kid who was so poor that he couldn’t afford shoes for school ends up being the president of the federal republic!

We could go on and on infinitum...
But BEWARE OF THE DANGERS OF THE SINGLE NARRATIVE!!

KINGSATANREBORN:
You're a joker so no problem at all.

CasNova:
It is condescending to do that, but it is still better than being involved in criminality.

It is definitely NOT condescending...
There’s DIGNITY in any and all HONEST labor.

Nigerians need to learn HUMILITY...
That’s why many end up in Yahoo and criminality.

Waste of school fees

What a waste of education

Education is NEVER wasted...
The question is whether he received a real education.

-Despite having a Master’s degree, Yazid Surajo is a scavenger.

-He chose to do menial jobs rather than stay idle, waiting for a white collar job. He recently posted on his Facebook page, his pictures carrying some scrap and copies of his certificates saying ‘It’s better to die on your feet than to live on your knees, I would rather be dirty and satisfied than clean and hungry’. 

- Daily Trust Saturday met with him in Lagos where he does his scrap business and he shed more light on how he was able to study to Master’s degree level despite the challenges he encountered.

The question is “Master’s degree” in what exactly?
Unfortunately, many Nigerians garner degrees and certification irrelevant to the job market or future trends.

https://dailytrust.com/why-more-international-firms-prefer-ghana-to-nigeria

Every so often, some LOW SELF-ESTEEM (possibly self-hating) person dredges up and/or writes a version of this drivel...
Nigerians should be building Nigeria for the sake of NIGERIANS, not to garner Oyibo (colonial and/or exploitative) ‘validation’.

I give Ghana all the deserved credit for maintaining relative national peace in a difficult region...
Nonetheless, the number of international aviation traffic to Nigeria is SIXTEEN TIMES greater than to Ghana. Perspective.

plaindealer:
They all have inferiority complex, self-loathing and lack of self-worth.

It is madness and insanity when you think countries that are beneath you are better than you.

Agree! It’s a LOW SELF-ESTEEM issue...
They measure their self worth by how much Oyibo likes them.
>

plaindealer:
Nigeria GDP $448 Billion.

Ghana GDP $66 Billion.

Ghana can not survive without Nigeria's industrial output and goods and services.

Demarketing Nigeria is ignorance, self-loathing, self-destructive, unpatriotic and gross inferiority complex.

Failed errands.

Bless you!
Just Lagos has more then twice the GDP of Ghana!!

chaloskyx:
WHAT IS NIGERIA? A COUNTY THAT CANT PROVIDE ORDINARY WATER FOR THE AVERAGE CITIZEN IS WHO YOU WANT TO COMPARE WITH GHANA ALL WE HAVE IS MOUTH WE LIKE TO BOAST AND DEFEND OUR COUNTRY IN THE PUBLIC SPACE WHICH IS NOBLE. BUT BACK AT HOME WE SPEAK BAD ABOUT HOW OUR PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND SMILING AND HOW WE ARE CURSED WITH BAD LEADERS..........LETS BE FRANK GHANA AND A LOT OF AFRICAN STATES ARE WAY BETTER THAN NIGERIA WHOS GLORY DAYS ARE OVER SUCK UP TO IT AND LETS PUT HANDS TOGETHER TO REBUILD THE NATION STOP LIVING IN DENIAL

And despite all that, it remains the BIGGEST economy in Africa...
And among the Top 30 (24th by PPP measurement) in the world.

helinues:
I really don't get the gist about all the news with Nigeria Vs Ghana eish.

Nigeria is not in any competition with Ghana.. Even though we do not share border but they are more closer to Nigeria than Benin and Chad.

In West Africa, After Nigeria is Ghana..

We will always wish Ghana all the best as they have been wishing us from time immemorial

Bless you!

CallMeDrino:
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has challenged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State over the 12am to 4am curfew imposed by the Federal Government to curb the spread of COVID-19, Igbere TV reports.

The mother of two expressed her displeasure at the discomfort caused by the curfew in a video posted on Instagram on Saturday, arguing that the restriction on movement was negatively affecting businesses and families.

She tagged Governor Sanwo-Olu and Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, asking them to address the issue urgently.

The 43-year-old added that policemen use the continued curfew as an opportunity to extort people.

Iyabo Ojo in November alleged that the government was after her life because of her participation in the #EndSARS protest against police brutality.

She said she woke up to a message from a friend that her name was being mentioned in government circles.

That came days after she publicly vowed never to support any politician in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) again.

Nigerians will brazenly break the law and then complain...smh

This guy is seriously working without noise making

How come we are “hearing” this then?

sonnie10:
This is so commendable. I used to say to myselfy, if I had the opportunity to be governor, I would rather concentrate on maintaining existing infrastructures than embacking on white elephant projects.
If most inter streets roads were motorable in Lagos, traffic would be reduced to almost zero. There is traffic because of lack of good alternative routes.

Sadly, it wouldn’t...
Even the best roads are not immune to poor and impatient driving.

uptimum123:
Since Gov Sanwo-Olu took over from his predecessor, he has embarked on massive road constructions through out Lagos State... And with the THEMES Agenda and it's progress, it's apparent that by the end of his tenure, Lagos State will be the top destination to visit in Africa.

Our focus on this thread is the LSPWC massive road rehabilitation.

Lagos State Public Works Corporation (LSPWC) is primarily saddled with the responsibility of Rehabilitating and Maintaining Roads in Lagos.

Since Gov Sanwo-Olu took over the affairs of Lagos State, LSPWC has indulge in massive road rehabilitation and maintenance through out Lagos Mainland and Island during the day and night.

With the pace and dedication, it's safe to say by the end of this year Lagosians will be witnessing zero portholes on our roads.

A look at the LSPWC twitter page will show you their daily schedules and progress.

As an Angry Goat, you are free to risk your own life...
But you shouldn’t be putting the lives of other people at risk!

Revere27:
Some hours ago , a news came out about a guy who had an accident on his wedding day and died.

This is just another one of its own type again.... Folks pray well oo for any events or ceremony that you want to hold... Some people are not happy with the new development of your life.

So sad that we are losing or grooms you o accident on their wedding day .

Primitive superstitious drivel...

MikeMicheal:
That his evil wife should be arrested

Disgusting, disgraceful and despicable comment...
By a dumb superstitious (and likely misogynistic) person. SMH

Scaring thought

Disgraceful and despicable comment...smh

PS: And btw, it’s “scary” (NOT “scaring”) thought.

inoki247:
Lol na Hoodlums this time around no be unknown Gun Men...

What’s the difference?
Are both mutually exclusive?

UmuEri:
Repel which Attack??

They were decimated by the Unknown Gunmen. The Unknown Gunmen killed 3 Mopol and burnt down the newly built Police Zone 13

Police and policing have become a huge joke in this country.

Oh God help us in this country, if those charged with the responsibility of protecting us can not even protect themselves, then off to Ghana I go

Sounds like you were there...
Are you one of the attackers?!

Cuppy get no brains, zero dress sense, no sabi sing, come dey very stingy on top.

She’s headed to Oxford University for her SECOND Master’s degree (the first was from NYU)...
And her foundation feeds and cares for IDPs and other poor folk - what exactly do YOU do when not driveling on Nairaland?

SarkinYarki:
The fact that it has been established the toll collection is the culprit for endless hold up in that area should be sufficient reason that tolling is never resumed

How can toll collection be the culprit of endless holdups?
And if it is, technology (cashless toll cards, etc) easily resolves it.
>

finemum:
Am i the only one that observed they are gradually repairing the Lekki toll gate. Does that mean it will be open soon.

GOOD development
Time to erase the legacy of the hoodlums who stained the legitimate #EndSARS protest.

It will be good to put up a memorial plaque or statute there...
But it was NOT an #EndLekkiTollGatePlaza protest, and it’s time LCC EMPLOYEES got their jobs back!

Whitecoal711:
In Western world,she will charge a sex offender,if she is guilt which she is,it will be for live,she will deprived from her children,resist from going close to some places like school ,park etc slot will be deprived from her,it be tag in her i.d cards and she will be monitored for life

No, she will not be charged as a sex offender...
In enlightened places, nudity is not synonymous with sex.

quentin06:
Some women just want kids as trophy, they don't want a family, a decent man can't stay with a hoe.

Is that the new excuse for irresponsible fathers?

Starzo:
I can I be talking about sex and include my mother in the same conversation...Gtfoh with that incest shit...it's disgusting.

Lol! So it pains you when someone correctly extends your misogyny about “Nigerian girls” to include your mother (and sisters?)?

There are relatively a lot of practices here in Africa and particularly Nigeria that are considered awkward or insane in other advanced nations.
Read below, testimonies of such and feel free to add yours in the comments.

COME ON LET US HAVE FUN

Hilarious...
Shows you how many Nigerians go straight from village to “the abroad”!
