wamide042: Lol. There is nothing to 'read slowly'. Thank you for showing that I made a typo, but the message clear well well - and the typo will not be touched because some guy on the internet is trying to correct me for English. Just lol. Grow up and act with maturity. Anonymity of nairaland is not a reason to be unpleasant. |

thebosstrevor1: Don't say so - because you don't know. And there is nothing about being "sincere" about. We have future Okonjos from Nigeria - just that you don't know them. I was chatting with one the other day. She told me she pushed to become a PhD holder because she was motivated by mama Okonjo. While I agree with you that many girls are getting it wrong, you should also be aware that there are many out there who are trying to make things happen... Mama Okonjo was exceptional, even by her generation's standard, and so even by her generation, her achievements are rare. If exceptionalism is what you mean by rare, then maybe you might have a great point. Because even mama Okonjo was/is exceptional (rare?) by her own generation's standards 1 Like |

Congratulations Ma. This mama won on all fronts (family, career, etc etc) and she is world class in her profession. Interestingly, the kids are also all very great kids, smart people and interestingly humble and very accomplished. They will never easily put it to your face that their mum is okonjo - lol. You will never unnecessarily hear it in your convo with them. The mama did a wonderful job with such children and I think she is a role model for our young girls to follow, especially those who want to be world class in their profession and also win big on the family front...I no dey talk about awon aunties "men are scum" gang ooo. Lol Congrats ma. |

Yildiz: I will choose someone with 3 quality papers published in the major journals of a field over someone with 23 papers published in the minor journals of that field. To your question, if your 3 papers are in the best journals in your field or if they are in some very respectable journals in your field, then I imagine you would look competitive wherever you apply. For example, if your 3 papers are published in some of these journals - https://blog.typeset.io/top-16-international-computer-science-journals-a-template-guide-3b838a7fd902, then I believe you are competitive. It is not by the volume of your papers. Quality and impact matter. Nevertheless, I would suggest you to still apply widely for a postdoc, no matter what your current publication record looks like. Anything can happen. I have seen people with only promising working papers, but working papers nonetheless, get accepted into highly coveted Postdoc programmes 3 Likes 2 Shares |

NigPatriot: Let's start by asking him which school he went to in Cotounu. OP, if you need guidance, come open. State the school you attended in Cotounu, the course you studied, level and grades you got. Let's start from there. If you attended the highly regarded schools in Abomey Calavy, then you're actually superior not inferior. However, if as[b] NigPatroit [/b]stated, you attended one of the schools that are not accredited even by the Benin Government, then that one go be somehow ooooo. I await your direct answers.

Novartis: The Nigerian graduates who discriminate you are ignorant as usual...Shouting "giant of Africa". When I tell some of them the truth, they start shouting thunder. Look at my my previous posts, you will see our people like to feel superior even in many instances when they are clearly not superior. If you're quality, anywhere will want you. As I said, some of the best African researchers in certain fields in the US and Canada are from Benin Republic. Yes, Benin Republic, and they studied in Abomey Calavey.. I don't know ANY Nigerian in the class of these guys. Ok, let me be a bit lenient - I ONLY know ONE Nigerian is is trying, but still not at that level yet. Between, I am Nigerian. Where in Benin did you go to school? What was your GPA? Hope you got more than 13? (or a good GPA if you use the US 4.0 system)? What do you want to do for PhD or master? I sent a student to do a master in Benin Republic Cotonou a few years ago. That master provides a better training than anything available in Nigeria in a certain field. That student is now in North America and was admitted for PhD. Nothing is wrong with Benin (or Cotonou as you put it) education. If anything, there are certain fields that graduates from Cotonou universities are actually doing better. Yes, better! 3 Likes |

I know of someone who went to a not so famous Nigerian university, got a chance to attend a master in the US, did superb there, and eventually cruised into an ivy league school for PhD.

Now, you may argue that the bad environment or bad leadership, etc, is due to one thing or the other. That could be right, but that would be another point entirely. Environment counts. |

misterniyi: I don't know of your last sentence and I am not sure, but you're correct in saying Covenant got some top students. We too have hired from there before, and we will hire from there again. The general problem is that many government school teachers and students can't bring themselves to accept the FACT that Covenant University is a top school in Nigeria. This is a top 5 university, and in several (not all) instances that I have seen, the teachers at our government schools are not superior to the teachers at CU. |

hinere: I just couldn't let the bolded go. I am surprised such a statement is coming from an otherwise nice write that you have strung together. So, I will assume you weren't aware and I will say it: Weightlifting is a form of exercise and gazillion number of studies have shown that exercise is good for the body. It's strange to classify weightlifting or gymming (a healthful engagement) to bleaching (a danger to the health). Again, I am surprised and amazed. It's OK if you don't have a six pack and don't have the interest and discipline to have one. But it is not OK to claim that going to the gym to lift weights is bad. You are indirectly saying in your new discovery that exercise is bad. Seriously?? Even the Bible says bodily exercise has some profit. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. Yet, in your wisdom, you claim weightlifting is somehow bad? Seriously Sir? Wow, nairaland. I hail. Nonetheless, I agree with you on the part that is against doing things to destroy one's body. But for weightlifting, man, you no get point for that. |

I was escorted out of their embassy in Rome many years ago when I tried to argue with them about whatever hidden reason they've denied my visa application. I'm waiting for the day I will meet a visa officer here, at a party or somewhere, so we can engage in full scale debate. Sometimes their decisions are crap. Some are OK sha - like the ones that issued me a visa several times at their London embassy and some I've dealt with during my other applications. 1 Like |
