The Chinese, Russian and German write the respective subjects you listed in their languages because they have adopted an efficient framework where those subjects can be comprehensively instructed in their languages. They are also their languages of examination. It is further testament to the relative advancement of their languages.

Now, has such a framework been adopted in WAEC? No. The languages of instruction and examination for the WAEC exams are English and French.

And BTW, there are Universities in Germany where English is the language of instruction and examination.

Objective rationality is not your forte and that you would call another person ignorant shows you lack any sort of critical thought.

You obviously don't know jack about educating someone. The framework for an examination can be in English, but one can decide to teach someone the same subject using another language. It would actually improve the impact of the knowledge being passed.

The Germans simply teach Physics in German as that is their language , Russians teach Chemistry in Russian as it is their Language . Note that the universities using English in Germany are following the same educational framework set out by the German government, thus it shows clearly that the language of instruction has nothing to do with the framework.

You asked if Physics could be taught in Hausa, and I showed you that it can and you have also agreed that Physics is taught in various languages across the world. The language doesn't change the principle, the language only helps in understanding.

Pick up any tech gadget and you'd see instructions in various languages talking about exactly the same things.

I have read all your comemnts here and I must say that you have a long way to go. In your demented small brain any Nigerian that doesn't support your Buhari is ibo, please wake up from your slumber, Nigerians aren't as daft as you think.

Definitely, Nigerians confirmed that we weren't as daft as YOU! We voted more for Buhari than for the ineffectual guy you'd have preferred.


And it was only in your demented mind, that you equated Zombies with Ibos as my post only referred to those in support and those against APC in the last election. If you are not one prone to lies, you'd have known and acknowledged that even in Katsina, Buhari did not get 100% of the votes thus there will still be Wailers like you even in his village. As usual, you attempt to turn facts on its head.

HugeMac:
please zombie ! How would you write physics in hausa language? Explain

Do the Chinese write Physics in English? Or do the Russians teach Chemistry in English, abi the Germans are teaching Biology with English?

Your ignorance is palpable.

ononujuchika:
Thank GOD most of nigeerians are not zombies!

Unfortunately for you, you are lying! By the results of the elections in March 2015, most Nigerians voted for Buhari.

The so called Zombies are clearly more than the Wailing Wailers. Don't try to turn history and facts on its head.

rozayx5:
anyone eho believe the movie they are acting is silly and needs medical treatment

It still amazes me that a certain section of Nigerians believe that a Christian community was manipulated or cajoled or corrupted by Muslims to discredit a fellow Christian President.

How that is expected to play out in the Nigeria of today is one of the riddles that many are not considering.

That one is speaks Hausa, or is even Hausa doesn't imply he/she isn't Christian. BTW, when you see the pass marks of 25, 30 or even 15 for some Northern states, you think they have such low scores because they are very fluent in English or because their brilliant scores are captured under Lagos State?

Like I said, really terrible level of comprehension...... Freeze001 didn't say saraki was innocent...... All freeze001 is saying is that FG and EFCC should take their time in carrying out proper investigation instead of going to embarrass themselves in court. Let me tell u something, no matter how guilty a person is, if u can't convince the Judge, that guilty person will definitely walk free. They are bundling this cases and doing a poor job at handling dem all. Y not handlee one at a time and do a good job at it. I hope now u understand? The way they are rushing these cases one wld think they have a hiding agenda.

Just imagine somebody already saying freeze001 is pained Cause of Jonathan election loss. I was force to wonder how is Jonathan related to what is been said? Very poor ability to comprehend

By this your epistle, one would want to believe that so called Serious and Advanced countries don't have their prosecutors losing cases in the law courts. Stop blowing too much grammar on the issue of one count out of 13 counts.

You aren't telling me what is new, everyone knows that once you get charged, it can either be "Guilty" or "Not Guilty".

forray:
You are wasting your time on a group of block heads.... Nothing you will say to them wld make dem see the reality of things. I don't know how the comprehensive capacity of an average Nigeria youth sink this low.

Actually, it is you that has a low comprehensive capacity not the other way round. There are 13 counts and you seem to base your judgement on the possible failure to prove just 1 out of 13 counts.

Must someone be guilty of all 13 counts? Does even failing to get a conviction imply that the EFCC failed in their case? Did the fact that EFCC proved it's case against Ibori prevent the Naija Judge from acquitting him while the UK Judge sent him to the gaol.

Apparently(if you can trust the source of the information) for those in the diaspora who are really interested he did not declare UK assets at 7and 8 whittaker street. If my lookup serves me right this is in belgravia london so for 3 pounds at land registry uk online you can get copy of the title register and know who owns, amount paid, year bought, the mortgagee if any and other information.

Send the link and I would pay the 3 Pounds to get it and send to Saraki to defend himself (wait, is Saraki as a UK citizen not also aware of this to use to defend himself? )

freeze001:
When people say all this drama is political persecution because Saraki bucked the norms of party supremacy and clinched the seat of Senate president, the crazies who are officially tagged zombies come out to scream fight against corruption and corruption fighting back.

Not holding brief as to whether he's innocent or not but it's just so friggin clear there's more to this than 'fighting corruption'.
Let the drama keep unfolding

My guy, I am quite surprised at how Count 11 out of a 13 Count charges shows that the proceedings are politically motivated. Haba!

Everywhere in teh world, an accused can be found guilty of Count 1, Not Guilty on Count 2, Guilty of Count 3 and Guilty of Count 4. It is normal.
However, the report as presented by this journalist is quite a half-truth and it is intended to serve people looking for excuses to blame the Govt. The witness clearly stated that he got the evidences of the transfers, and corroboration of the UK personnel to determine that the property was bought by Saraki. What he said was that he did not see the physical mortgage papers for the transactions.

The question to ask is this: How did GTB finance a mortgage and claim not to have copy of the mortgage documents?
The only way is simple: when the transaction is fraudulent and when one is trying to hide the facts.

This report up there from the stable of the "Common Sense" Senator, a known supporter of Saraki is junk reporting.

UmuEri:
NLC is not divided, Ayuba controls 33 out of 35 affiliate unions, leaving just only 2 for Ajero supposed faction.

Note, that was why the Ayuba led NLC worked out of the meeting with the FG on Tuesday immediately the SGF recognised and called Ayuba a factional leader.

This got Ayuba infuriated, and he immediately stood up and worked-out of the meeting. As he stood up, all his colleagues stood and followed him immediately.

The meeting did not hold because the FG wanted to further polarize NLC, and Ayuba understood that and staged a Work-out.

Note, i was there Live.

Bros this is at variance with the reason NLC adduced for walking out, or are you now making up other reasons for NLC? See the NLC version below:

A last minute meeting between the federal government and Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Tuesday night to attempt to avert a nationwide strike over increased petrol price, collapsed mid-way as representatives of the organised labour staged a walkout on government representatives.
The NLC says the talks broke down because the government refused to even consider its demand for a reversal of the price hike, and an earlier increase in electricity tariffs.
The meeting, called by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, was attended by the president of NLC, Aliyu Wabba, who led representatives of affiliate groups including Trade Union Congress, TUC, and civil society organisations.
PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the meeting was barely an hour into its agenda when the labour leaders decided to stage a walkout after what they called the “refusal of government to accede to their demands”.
The General Secretary of the NLC, Peter Ozo-Eson, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES on phone shortly after leaving the venue of the meeting, said members could not continue to put up with the government’s unbending attitude towards their demands.
“The talks with government broke down because it was not ready to address the issues the NLC placed on the table for discussion; so we left,” Mr. Ozo-Eson said.
“The demands the NLC and its affiliates made formally in writing on Saturday were that government should first revert to the fuel price of N86.50 per litre before any other decision.
“Again, we demanded that the electricity tariff imposed on the people last January should also be reversed. But, government said they were not ready to discuss such things.
“They said they wanted to discuss minimum wage and palliatives. But, those were not issues we were ready to start any discussion with,” he said.
Mr. Ozo-Eson said labour was not interested in listening to what offers government was going to make in respect of the two issues it offered to talk about, saying their interest was a complete reversal of the fuel price and electricity tariff.
He said the government could not be talking about minimum wage first when most Nigerians are not even working and are being tasked further financially and economically by the hike in fuel price and increased electricity tariff.

It amounts to capitulation and outright deception for those of us who led millions of people, out in the street,few years ago,against pump price increase and against subsidy removal to now give economic excuses to justify same.
The moral flag we raised in the past is now the scale of justice to measure the degree of our conscience in the present.

As a Christian, do you think it is deception when God placed "Thou Shall Not Kill" as the 6th commandment but then later tells the children of Israel to kill the Philistines?

A leader must know when to Change and make the right choice for his people. When Hitler failed to listen and change his tactics as the winter approached in Russia, the rest as they say is history. Change of views is not necessarily a bad thing.

GOT THIS FROM A UNILAG STUDENT

He wrote: ..

The reality is upon us. At about 6:40pm today the 11th of May, a fellow Akokite was arrested. His crime?

He reposted a picture on his Facebook page of the deputy Dean 2 of the Students Affairs Division in person of Dr Karo Ogbinaka.

Dr Karo made complaints to the Alpha base that he found the picture to be a threat to his life and therefore he should be arrested.

Fellow Akokites, we are writing exams and our brother is at the moment in police custody for reposting a picture on his Facebook page.

Our school authority are now demi gods that should be constantly revered. All attempts to bail Dolapo Olusesi has proven futile as the policemen claim they have been asked by the school management not to release him to serve as a lesson to others. A call put through to the DSA has proven futile as the DSA has asked that he be left there.

Dolapo Olusesi is a 300 Law student. Dolapo needs to read for exams. Dolapo is at the moment in a cell

We call for the immediate release of a fellow learning colleague as this is an abysmal act on the part of the school authority.

#FreeDolapo
UNILAG is a mess

The Road to Nigeria's Delusion and Demagoguery - A people's determination to self destruct!
When Jonathan tried the deregulation policy in January 2012, his price was N141 per litre.
The price of crude oil was then $111.67 per barrel!
We occupied Nigeria!
Pastor Bakare, Fashola, Tinubu, All came out to lead protesters...
The usual school of exposed but dim witted abroadians also demonstrated, abroad.
However then, a basket of tomatoes was N3, 000, per basket, price of rice, N6, 000 per bag.
Today, Buhari has done his own deregulation. Fuel price is fixed at N145 per litre.
But the price of crude oil is just $46.00 per barrel.
Will Nigeria be occupied??

I don't think so.
We are under a spell.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, Bola Tinubu, Fashola are all in this Buhari's government, one way or the other.
Price of tomatoes, jumped from N4,000 to N18,000 per basket!
Price of a bag of rice, jumped from N7,000 a bag to N14,000 a bag!
All, within ONE YEAR!!

Will the usual school of abroadians, nurtured in hypocrisy and gullibility, now begin to talk...!??
That is the question they themselves will begin to answer in the usual way of making a mockery of themselves..

Last week, one of these ones, told me, it is for a while; Nigeria is going to be better he said.
So I say to him,
Since you have this very strong convictions about Nigeria's future under this government, WHY DON'T YOU JUST PACK YOUR STUFF AND JUST COME BACK HOME, NOW!?
Like he heard me, but pretended he didn't....

Such is the idiocy of their thinking.

And to the Nigerian Buharists.....
You will now be engrossed with yet another little matter of simple mental sums - if crude oil was $111.67 when Jonathan deregulated at N141 per litre, what should the price of crude oil be now that Buhari has deregulated at N145 pee litre!
It is quite a simple "Simultaneous" equation.

And if you would rather it is a "Quadratic" one, try this simple question:
Bearing in mind, that, all other indices remain Not constant, in fact a double digit inflation, crippling economy, tripled foodstuffs prices, justify your position as a continuous, non thinking herd, in the cattle ranch of the Life Patron of the Umbrella body of all Fulani herdsmen, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, and answer....!

DO you Not now, have more than enough reasons, through empirical Mathematical equations, to OCCUPY NIGERIA!?

Let me also ask you the mathematical sum. How much was the dollar when GEJ deregulated and how much is the dollar now?

Imagine that we paid N1.2tln as subsidy in 2011 alone, that was $10Bln. (Imagine how many refineries could have been built with this amount!)

Now to your famed mathematics, GEJ's 141/l at Official rate(120/$) is $1.18/l; at Black Market rate (180/$) was $0.78/l
The present price of 145/l at official rate (199/$) is $0.73/l and at Black market rate (320/l) is $0.45/l.

This implies that fuel in real terms cost less now and reflects the lower cost of crude. However, we now have the advantage of having a Govt that would not squander the savings or steal our commonwealth blind.

5starmilitant:
Gej has a good heart. Even though the protest was sponsored by apc, Gej still revised his decision because of the masses. But buhari doesn't give a shit about the masses, he's a very stubborn goat.

Na wa for people o! APC that was formed in 2014 sponsored in a protest in 2012! Was it a scene from Back to the Future?

And whos is responsible for d continues slide/decline in d value of naira again dollar? at US 85cent is very much affordable by its citizens!

What is responsible for the continued slide? The answer is simple: Nigeria is making less money. and she has no savings to fall back on!

If a man were to keep receiving less and less amount of money, and he has no savings, what do you think will happen to the standard of living of the family? Is it not normal that there would be problems? is it not normal that he soon won't be buying aso-ebis?

The present problem is caused by 1. Nigeria squandering her earnings, 2. not having a robust foreign reserves and 3. the crash of crude oil prices.
2 out of the 3 causes were things a sane government would have handled and we won't be in this situation, but the Govt didn't handle them and we are in the present situation.

If that hypothetical man above doesn't learn to cut his spending according to his earnings, he would soon be in debts, in rags and living on the streets with his family scattered.

ocelot2006:
Where the money went to? Remember the SURE-P program? Same program that funded all those new plus renovated projects from roads to healthcare centres? Yeah, thats where the money went to under GEJs watch.

Please LIST the roads that were funded and done by Sure-P.
Show pictures of the buses in Rivers State funded by Sure-P
Show pictures of the health centres renovated or equipped by Sure-P.

From all that is in the open, all the money went into private pockets, so please spare me!

OBAFEMIawolowo:
not really, I'm just sobber that you aren't educated enough to think out of your sentimental gulf.
Your initial comment is a good example of how an educated illiterate goes for anything that comes from an illiterate. Its cursed to be you

Ah hah ha. I sure hit a raw nerve there but not to worry, your hero (and his thieving band) will still have their comeuppance.

Wizzyblack3:
Even if the FG is to remove this subsidy, definately not at this time of economic crisis and hardship.. This would only make life worse for the common man. But i thought this same ppl led us to #OccupyNigeria 4yrs ago when the move to remove same subsidy was made.

Do you suppose the Govt should continue to fund subsidy at the time of reduced earnings (loss of up to 50%) rather than pay salaries or fund infrastructural developments?

omoadeleye:
But i dont know why our leaders choosed to live with bad legacy after they are gone...

Since you already know, just endure and wait for 2019.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
you can give several reasons for all I care, it doesnt make you less of a hypocrite.

You shouldnt be talking about education, its evident you are handsomely half-baked.

I understand your pains, your well baked PhD was kicked out by a supposed illiterate. Awww, it sucks to be you! Doh.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
please swerve, suddenly there's a justification for subsidy removal, hypocrite.

It is people like you that do not have any reasoning capacity that hold onto one type of action. You cannot process the fact that given a different scenario, a different approach or action is required.

Education is supposed to empower us to THINK!

OBAFEMIawolowo:
they resort to insults when they display cluelessness.
Buhari's administration is cursed.

Lol, yet you curse someone.

OBAFEMIawolowo:
even if PMB shoots a Nigerian dead, this guy will still defend him. You people cried hell when GEJ removed it, PMB is superclueleas and he's riding on GEJ's antecedent.

Can you swear with your life that what has been happening wnt still happen again? how sure are you that dia no rooter in this present administration? can you swear dat the money would be put to work

common on, let the truth be said sometimes for everything is not about politics and sentiment! You can vote for change a thousand times and no body cares but pump price at 145 per litre is way too high!

I definitely cannot swear with my life, as even Jesus won't swear with His life that man would not be man. However, I am persuaded by the antics of this administration that things are changing and thus able (and willing) to give them the benefit of doubt.

US has so many local refineries, they produce crude and petrol sells at the pump right now at $0.85/L, at the official exchange rate is N170/L. You do the maths.

jlinkd78:
This Govt penchant for telling lies is just unimaginable. U said d Labour Unions were part of d discussion and within hours this rebuttal. How do u hope to sustain this pricing template when d marketers source d Fx from d black MKT or u have d magic wand to stabilize d dollar?. D govt need to abolish d dichotomy of official and bureau d change rates or better still sell Fx to d mkters and ensure strict supervision to avoid diversion. With this Labour's position I must say this govt is very insensitive.

Bros, there is a difference between DISCUSSION and AGREEMENT! Having a discussion with the unions doesn't necessarily imply the unions agreed.

DO you want fuel or not? If the Govt cannot provide fuel as the pipelines have been blown, do you want marketers to import PMS or not?
If the Govt is struggling to pay salaries, do you want them to divert the funds to pay subsidy or you want them to pay salaries?
If the Forex earning of govt has reduced drastically because oil price has gone southwards, do you want the little to be used to pay subsidy or used for infrastructural development?

There are always choices to be made in life, this government has made a choice. The NLC can make their own choice and go on strike. they should also be aware that once the wage burden becomes too much, workers are gonna be sacked! We can't eat our cake and have it! We squandered all the mega earnings when crude was $110, now we have no savings to fall back on. Na simple cause and effect things.

Promismike:
Nigerians here is the change u seek for

Yes o! I voted for this CHANGE, and I would still vote for this same Change if the options were either this or GEJ. It matters not if it is 3 years from now, given a choice between GEJ and PMB, I will vote PMB all over again.

Now to the fuel price, during the scarcity, everyone kept saying "Just make the fuel available even if it is at a higher price!", now all over Nairaland people were writing that they buy fuel at N140, N150 and N170. Now that the price is now a range with N145 the highest price to ensure availability, people are still screaming.

BTW, the partial removal by GEJ, what happened to the money saved? ALL looted into different pockets! I am more comfortable with this administration pushing through the needed changes than those megalomaniacs in the last administration wacking all the savings.

9jaBloke:
Saw it coming. The moment this man became the lead counsel to Tompolo, I lost considerable respect for him.

...But must FG and EFCC use counter-cases and unverified charges as a tool to intimidate opponents?

As far as I am concerned, there was no saint in the last administration.

It's the norm all over world, if you come against the Govt, you better make sure your cupboard is clean. You can't have skeletons and be raging against the Sheriff.

CyberWolf:
Why do you yorubas like lying like this? Ironsi only decreed unitary system of government but each region has absolute control of their resources. It was Gowon that started with this nonsense by creation of 12 states. You should stop lying, it's not good.

This guy does not know the difference between a Unitary System and Regionalism.

How can Ironsi decree a Unitary System of government and yet the Regions will still have control of their resources? Please, pick up your book or Google is there for you to read and learn.

But Malia Obama won't be using taxpayer money to attend the school. She will most likely pay for it via scholarship.

Is Zahra Buhari using tax payers money? Was she not already in the school before her father was elected?

The same president that makes it hard for students abroad like me to get money from our parents. I wonder how his zahra pays are 26000 pounds tuition rent then other living expenses with the fired reatrictions on the master card and other means. She probably has her president daddy wire money to her illegally. What is good for the goose is good for the gander

Your parents made a PERSONAL decision to send you to school abroad, I and other Nigerians should not subsidise that decision.

Your parents have all the available Abokis to buy Forex from. If they can't afford the Abokis price, Covenant and LASU are available to repatriate you to.

MAROC:
....and people should stop taking you seriously cos you'd always come to Buhari's Defence after those "attacks"... right or wrong like a typical Z*****...

Which one of the points raised is false? Nigeria receiving aid, Buhari's Daughter schooling at Surrey, The scam fight against corruption or Nigerian officials being overpaid??

Was Zahra not schooling in UK prior to the elections? Was she on scholarship back then or did PMB stop earning salary once he became President?

Una go just dey yarn without any intellectual thought at things.
