Everyone want to be a doctor. Chai nigerians

Not all who possess the certificate are really educated. Too many shortcut in our educational system. So how do we now decide who are really educated.

This is the effect of modernization . Hardly do people feel bored like before. With modern gadget like cable tv (dstv) , laptop, smart phone computer games, internet and even nairaland etc, u may be so cosume that u will hardly feel people presence. Indirectly materialism is the major cause, everyone is busy chasing money nowadays. Ego and superiority is the order of the day.

Weekly backup is really needed. Seun need to step up. Last back up was on jan 10 which is too far for a popular site like this. This should be a lesson to seun.

nfts0502: To my own view both are good ...learning the right trade is very good ,i use myself as example i left Nigeria in 2001 to United State to study international business the program took me 3years and 8months afer my graduation i started working with Delta Airline as a ticket agent after some years with the company i got fired due to no fault of my own and i was unemployed for some months furtunately i finaly find anothoer job with a company that sale flooring product like Tile,marble,wood floor and more.. to me i taugth i will only work for that company for short period of time just for me to pay my bills till i find the right job that match my status not knowing that that is going to be my last job hunting.To cut my story short i found out 70-80% of the custormers that come to the store always ask us that do we know anyone that do flooing installation in cheaper rate we will say no.....one day i went and do research online on how to install wood floor and tile and i found out that is not really that hard as i taught and i started imagine me doing that job for myself but i still have the fear in me because i dont know were to start. But in my company that i work we always build a display board of all the product we have in the store so that custormer can see how nice the product can be in there house,but we have a company that come and build that for us. One day i have to call my boss and tell him that i can start building the displays for the company to save the company some momey he now ask if i know i to install tile and wood floors i boldly tell him yes but in my mind i know i have never done it before but with the little video i have seen on youtube and me wathing this people that come to my place of work to build this displays for us give that courage, as a Nija man we never say no to anything as long as money will come out of it and i started building the display board for the company after some months my boss have to tell the the company that build the displays that we dont need there service no more that were i started using the displays to build up my skill and confidence so when i see any custormer that ask if i know anybody that install wood flooring or tile in cheaper rate i will say yes so i will give them my number not knowing is me that will come and give them quotation when they call me i will go to there house one they see me they will say so is you ...because they meet me in that will give that trust that i really know what am doing ....a year later i now resign from the company to open up my own small business call National Flooring Total Solutions in Atlanta in 2009, i dont just do installation in the United States alone i have now brought the knowledge home to father land Nigeria of which i have done some jobs in Ijebu Ijesha,Ilesha in Osun State,Ibadan, Lagos....i am now planing to open up a trade school in Nigeria in March this year so that i can teach people the easiest and the right way to insall wood foor,marble and tiles the right way in Nigeria.....so that Nigerians can stop giving this Jobs to the togolise so that we can keep the money in our economy....Attach is picture of me working and some picture of my work in Nigeria and America..

This is excellent. You are developing yourself to be somebody in life. This is where many Nigerian graduates don't get it right. They don't want to learn, just want to be spoon feed. Everything u need is there on the internet. U can learn a lot through youtube videos. I personally learned so many skills using youtube.

rkarang: Unfortunately, we are looking at this issue from "Naija" perspective. It's only here in Nigeria and some developing countries that 'most' graduates are not productive.

The United States, Germany and some developed countries have a huge number of graduates that are 'highly' productive.

If education is not vital to development, why does Bill Gate sponsor/award scholarship to University Researchers?

Some people have vocational certificates but are not productive at all; some tailors are now "Okada riders". Similarly, some graduates too are now casual workers @ Pure Water Industry etc.

My view is that; to be successful in any career or occupation in life, there are some factors that you need to possess which are very common among today's successful businessmen and women in the world.

What are those factors?

Pastor Chris , the hip hop pastor. I pity those people who worship in his church. Too fashion conscious.

Sagamite: Take your pick:

- Selfishness (Me, me, me)
- Religious fanatism
- GBWA (Ghetto Black Woman Aggression - rude, classlessness, lack of social & communication skills)
- Frequent arguments
- Over-neediness
- Airheadedness
- L'Orealism (A sense of entitlement based on gender rights)
- Hollywoodism (Thinking what you want me to want in a relationship is what I should want, instead of working out what I want)

Which one top your list?

I've been following this story for sometime. All I can deduct from this, is that the op is just advertising jesus. The story is a complete fable, make up, not real, fabricated. U don't have to go to this extent before people will believe in your preaching. Fear cannot draw people to salvation. pls stop this. I'm not disputing ure being haunted but ure embellishing and exaggerating the whole thing. Merry christmas to all.

Where is d op sef?



.............you too much!

Redlyn: The purpose of creation was because:
- he was bored with just him and his son and the spirit
- he has a big ego that needs to be constantly stroked so he needed play things to adore, thank and praise him constantly before, during and after doing anything. After all what is the point of power and greatness if no one / nothing is there to appreciate it.
- the world is a testing ground to see the best at adoring him so that they would be the few to keep him company in heaven. Those that are not so good at that are severely punished. the importance of this was made very clear in his first 3 commandments
- also he wanted his son to have something important to do like save us from himself. besides his son was bored of the peace in heaven and wanted a field trip.
- he thought it would be funny to watch the confusion in his creation as each one of them had their own idea of how to get to heaven or even if there was such a place. there is only so much space so only few should get it right. it would be too crowded if he was more clear
- he wanted to see how many would seriously fall for the story of the winged horse and many virgins
- there are other purposes but we cant know them because of how mysterious his ways are.

Are u really serious or just joking. U assume that GOD is really bored and looking for friendship , to show his ego, and exercise his power. This earth is a testing ground. Nawa oooo

lanrexlan: The reason for your existence is worship.Allah says in the glorious Quran in Surah Ad-Dhariyat 51:56 -And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).Now,this is the purpose of your creation

Why is GOD thirsty and hungry of human worship. If human did not worship him will he cease to exist, will he become powerless, will he be less omnipotent. Before creation of Adam has he not being existing.

@olachi.Quaran support the bible on the story of creation. The only contradiction is that the bible says Adam was created on earth, in the Garden of Eden(genesis 2:, while quaran says Adam was created in paradise '' janna'', not on earth and he and his wife were later banished to earth quaran 2:36. Jew bible which is old testament also support creation. Budhist writtings on creation does not exist. Buddhism emphasizes practices over beliefs . Buddhism faith centers on correct understanding of human nature (enlightement).

emotional: '


oh, one more. free your mind from those religious dogma(those stories of Adam sinned and you are to pay d Price) that will help.

Too many man made ideologies. Religious dogmas have even complicate the whole issue. Religion are pure human imagination and assumption. Everything seems like conspiracy theorem to me. Do I ve to wait till death till I know the reason for my existence?

Why is lives full of so many mysteries? Why is our existence so complicated? Why do we have to search for meaning in our lives? Why do have to find ourselves in a hopeless predicament? Why do GOD not make things simple for us and easily understandable . Is GOD hidding some things from us?Despite advancement in science and technology man has not been able to findmeaning for their existence.

Emusan: Op you made a mistake.
Firstly, Universe was not contaminated with sin and chaos not untill Adam sinned.

UNDERSTAND THE FALL OF MAN
When God created everything and declared them "good". Then shortly Satan reasons within himself to be like God and have his own dominion but forgotten that he is a created being. God has to allow time to pass to show that he can never be like Him. God then cast satan out of heaven. When satan met with Eve, he raised two accusation against God which require a time to settle not a game between God and Satan but just to tell satan that he is a created being.

1) Satan called God a liar: how? Satan told Eve "you will not surely die" of which God has given them instruction that any day they eat from the tree "they will surely die". Here Satan was trying to play a good boy in his statement "I'm the one telling you the truth but God is lying to you"
When Adam and Eve died, didn't that prove that God is the one telling the truth and that Satan is the one lying? Actually I did. But there is more to Satan's challenge.

2) Satan said man can be better of without God's rulership: how? Satan told Eve "God knows that the day you eat the fruit, your eyes would be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad" Can you see that? The best way God can allow Satan to prove his point os to allow time to pass...when Adam and Eve hearken unto the voice of satan thinking truly they can live their lives without God be in control...God then polluted the universe and allow satan and man to battle with it maybe they can bring it back to a perfection like it was after creation.

God has already condemned satan and his angels into eternal destruction but man can be part of satan's angel when living under the two delusion of satan that brought man down. God has prepared a means for those who loved Him and ready to obey His commandment and He has chosen a day to destroy satan and all his angels(including human who he acquired as angel).

Do you want to escape this destruction through God's only begotten Son who He has chosen to reconciled everyone who obey Him to Himself or you want to be part of destruction by becoming one of the satan angel? The choice is yours!



Shalom!

Who created satan? Is it not GOD himself. Is satan not among the fallen angel. How come satan suddenly become more powerful than GOD.If every GODs creation is ''good'' where does satan evolve from. if heavenly being(satan) can sin who are we. Why do GOD have to pollute the earth and allow satan to destroy his work. why must human suffer for things they do not know anything about. Why are animals excluded from the everlasting condemnation.
If GOD is LOVE. I hope love should encompasses both evil and good. Why do GOD condemn the evil and reward the good

spyroet: to my own idea i think God is testing all of us to see who is realy rightous and to see if anybody can be like him, God created man in his own image and likeness, he gave us wisdom and understandin to know good from bad. So God is not punishing us at all.

Why must GOD test us inorder to know whelther we will be righteous or not. Are we not created in his image. Is he not the Alpha and Omega. If his will for us is to go to heaven why not leave us in our spirit being . Why must we pass through the earthly form. Why can't he deal with devil in heaven

Why did GOD create human beings into a universe already heavily contaminated with sin?
Why did GOD create human race?
The human race is not responsible for sin. Sin was already present in the universe when GOD created Adam and Eve. Satan and his angels had been sinning for some period of time, maybe a very long time, before Adam and EVe were created.
Why didn't GOD solve the sin problem with the angels? After all, that's where the sin problem started.
Why was the human race drawn into this mess. We didn't ask to be here. Not a single one of us asked to be born. And we certainly didn't ask to be born sinners. I don't mean that babies are born sinning, I just mean that, as the bible says''ALL have sinned.....roman 3:23
Why did GOD created Adam and eve perfect and then put satan right in their neighbourhood?
If GOD really didn't want Adam and EVe to sin, why did GOD place the tree of knowledge of good and evil right in their living room where they had to pass by it everyday?
Also, why did GOD create a single tree that contained the knowledge of both good and evil? In other words, why did GOD combine good and evil in the same tree?
Before adam and eve sin is there any biblical record that they ever praised GOD?
Before they sinned, did Adam and Eve understand what a magnificient garden GOD had given them for their home?how could they, they had never experienced anything else.
Before they sinned, did Adam and EVe understand what good health was? How could they, they had never been sick. They had never seen disease nor death in anything-----not in humanity not in animals, nor in plants..Adam and Eve could not appreciate any of these things because they had never known anything other than perfection.

The man must have been a very wicked person for his students to have wrote something like this about him


OPEN LETTER TO OOU VC
July 12, 2013 by Mayowa

OPEN LETTER TO OOU VC FROM
THE STUDENTS OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND
PSYCHOLOGY, OOU
PLEASE SAVE US FROM THE
EXTREME WICKEDNESS OF MR
SEGUN ONABANJO

The purpose of this letter is mainly to
seek for your assistance in helping us
expose the inhuman activities of a
lecturer in the Dept. of Sociology and
Psychology, Olabisi Onabanjo
University before it gets out of hand.
The concerns of many students who
are very suspicious and tired of
organized corruption and unwarranted
cruelty by just one Lecturer (Mr Segun
Onabanjo) holding the whole
department to ransom.
Right from time we were admitted into
OOU till date, we have witnessed so
many cases of most of our seniors
being frustrated, demoralized and
delayed (NYSC) for years for no good
reason by the ways and manners at
which he dishes out capital
punishment on innocent students and
we wouldn’t wait till we also fall victim
before we speak out. Funny enough,
he takes pleasure in doing so because
he liked to be categorized among
sadistic lecturers of all times and he
openly brags about that. He (Mr Segun
Onabanjo) has been in control of all
our results for 5years now and he has
always sticked to his cruel habit of
intentionally delaying at least half of a
whole set every year till date by
holding on to their results so that it
would be absolutely impossible for
them to go for their NYSC and thereby
enriching his own pocket.
To make his works easier, he wouldn’t
paste the results on the notice board
for everyone to see, sometimes he
would intentionally paste it one day to
the exam of that particular course, he
would ask everyone to come to his
office after which he would ask for our
matric numbers and then read out the
results and references from his laptop
(that is if he so wishes to). By so doing,
he makes it hard for students to
pinpoint errors in order to push for the
corrections of errors made on their
results and on time before getting to
their final year and whatever he says
in the Dept. goes. He uses this
opportunity to make more money and
get back at students who have issues
with him while in school or those that
wouldn’t want to give out bribes for
the “upgrading” of result. It’s a well-
known fact that that he extorted a
total sum of 50, 000 naira from about
40% of those he cleared for service last
year November 2012,he has an agent
who collects the money on his behalf,
they (2011 set) all can testify to that.
We are all at the mercy of Mr Segun
Onabanjo because he seems to be the
only “god” that everyone looks up to
and feared. For fear of reprisal attacks
by his lecturer cabal no one is ready to
physically lodge a complaint at the VCs
office. If you press him too hard for
correction of results and report to the
highest authority he would add more
to your references and make it look as
if you actually had those references
since the result was not pasted. We
see so many of our seniors coming all
the way from Lagos to “beg” and
“weep” for their right and we can’t
help but wonder if the same fate also
dangerously awaits us, are we also
going to be made to suffer for noting
like them.
Many of them have written a letter of
complaint to him for corrections of
mistakes made on results but instead
of treating it, he intentionally adds
more to their references or he treats it
and later on add another set of
references to it again so that you are
trapped forever until he decides to
release them at his own free will. They,
as usual, always write to the
appropriate authorities every year but
“as usual” he comes up with a ready-
made excuse. “The laptop I use for
your results is faulty I need some
money for the repair” and then in
retaliation, he adds more to everyone’s
references at will, mind you, he cleared
a little few of those were able to meet
up to the terms of payment, with that
same “faulty” laptop most of which
were well known dullards destined for
an automatic extra year. He would
clear every one of them and allow
them to go for service at the detriment
of other innocent students. To support
our claims, ask for a probe into the
results of the following students of
2011 set that were cleared for NYSC
last November and you would be
amazed ASHAJU KWAM, ALAUSA
LATEEFAT, SHODIPO TOSIN, ETIWON
ADESHINA, OGUNSANYA MONISOLA,
KASALI JAMIU, ODUBANJO KEHINDE,
ALONGE HASSAN, OLAWUNMI ENIOLA,
KEHINDE ADEYEMI, AJALA BUKOLA,
SALISU OLAMILEKAN, FAKOWAJO
LAWRENCE, YEYEJIDE KUSORO,
OLUWOLE KAYODE, BALOGUN QUADRI,
RISIKAT OLUWATOYIN, EHINMORE
RACHEAL, OGUNKOYA OLUWASEUN,
FEMI(Surname not yet verified), and
DABOTA JANE. Everyone in the
Department is aware of this but they
are all afraid to come out and speak.
*NOTE: The most disgusting part of the
whole saga is that: six of those listed
above (Etiwon Adeshina, Alausa
Lateefat, Ashaju kwam, Shodipo Tosin,
Salisu Olamilekan, Ogunsanya
Monisola) are very famous empty
barrels who prior to their graduation,
were humbly anticipating an extra year
but fortunately for them the magician
lecturer made them scale through ; we
are made to know from our
investigations that: one of those listed
above is yet to complete his project,
two(Olawunmi Eniola and Shodipo
Tosin) are his well-known girlfriends.
So many lives have been destroyed.
So many have been delayed for years,
some four years; some three; so many
brilliant students are always at the
Department begging him even though
everyone knew that it’s impossible for
them to have any reference. This man
has to be stopped or better still, an
outsider must be called to take charge
of the results because even the H.O.D
cannot look him directly in his face and
ask him to step down. They are all
afraid of him. We wouldn’t wait until
it’s our turn to suffer!

GOD BLESS YOU SIR

If u can survive in lagos u can survive anywhere

Toyota and honda are the most sought after by robber. If u driving any of this car uve to open ur eyes wide .

What do u mean by the engine revolve so slow? Do u mean d engine is cranking but not starting. A cranking engine indicates d starter is still ok which means u have to look elsewhere. Are u sure the battery is ok. Is the fuel pump working optimally. Is the engine misfiring?

Post the picture here

How much do u want to sell it.post d picture here

I put my trust on a nairalander here only to be scammed later. A nairalander was advertising one portable car tyre pumping machine. I read through his thread and because of some good comments made by some members believed in him. I called him and we make a deal that I'm interested in buying it. I even asked him if he sure of what he is claiming the equipment can do which he assured me.we agreed to meet somewhere in lagos and i contacted him. Due to busy nature of lagos whenever I called him on phone he will say he is coming and he will soon meet me. I waited for almost 4 hours. I've even started feeling impatient when he arrived and he apologised for coming too late.He came with his car(not sure if he is the owner)and he instructed me to enter which I did(since I know he can't overpower me). The transaction now begin. he demonstated how to use the equipment in his car. I inspected the equipment and i was doubting if it can work as described by him. I now told him to let us get out of his car inorder to connect it to his car type . He started giving excuses that the parking space in which he parked his car is just for short time, and that the bank security man have even instructed him not to park there. Is it that I'm not trusting him, that he is good member of nairaland , even if I'm having any problem with the equipment I can return it back to their company. With faith I collected the equipment ,paid him and leave only to get home to discovered that the equipment is fake. It can not even pump a ball talkless of a car tyre. The worst part is whenever I called he is always claiming he is busy.
