Education / Re: VCs, ASUU Reject 120 Cut-Off Mark For University Admission by alex81(m): 6:51am On Aug 25, 2017 |
eyeview: The truth is that since most states in the south started complaining against high cut off marks for their indigenes while their northen counterparts get very low cut offs for the same course and school, jamb instead of raising the uniform cut off to a level that will make the north work a bit harder, they in the spirit of tribal sentiments lowered the cut off to the 'northern standard' even when they know it will destroy our already deteoriating educational standard. The day we stop doing favoritism towards the north who have refused to catch up with the south and start doing things by merit is the day we'll start moving forward as a nation must u bring tribal sentiments into everything the reduced cut off mark is for all candidates, not only the northerners. try to comprehend a story b4 saying anything. if they increase it, u pipo will complain. now dey reduced it.... yet complains... I just tire for some people. zamanii chidonc 21 Likes |

TechPill: Normally on your birthday, facebook makes post on your friends timeline reminding them about your birthday, it also let you remember your friends birthday as well. Its has become a good custom. Sometimes you will see people you haven’t had a real conversation with in years will come out to type ‘hbd.’
Now facebook is introducing addition features to the reminder you get. Its called Birthday Fundraisers. Yes! did i hear you say that? well this feature is not for celebrant to make use of, however, this Facebook Fundraiser feature allows you to raise money for a Non-profit organisations. Cool right? But here is how the Facebook Birthday fundraiser works; two weeks before your birthday, Facebook will ask you if you want to dedicate your birthday to support a cause. If you agree you can pick from one of 750,000 non-profit organizations, currently limited to the United States, and set a donation goal. On your birthday, your friends will be notified of your cause. It's that simple!

I still wonder why people complain about poor data service on glo especially on Nairaland. I believed this for almost a year until I subscribed on a brothers phone. I must say in all the States I have been to in recent times, Lagos, Kaduna, Maiduguri and Abeokuta, I have no regrets subscribing because it wasn't a bad experience. I even had to switch from MTN to glo at Maiduguri because mtn really sucked where I was. Glo isn't that bad 2 Likes

Politics / Re: Nnamdi Kanu Asks Form. Senate Pres David Mark To Tell The World His Middle Name by alex81(m): 7:53am On Aug 08, 2017 |
igbodefender: One of our military drivers we had when I was growing up, his name was Moses. One day a relation of mine asked him his surname. He answered that his surname was Okwute.
Surprised, the relation asked him the meaning of Okwute in his language. He answered that it means 'stone'!!! ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif)
Well, guess what!? Okwute means the same thing in Igbo!!
That man is David Mark's brother.
Now going to the Ada from Idoma I talked about in the earlier post, she confirmed it with her own mouth that her name Ada meant 'first daughter'.
On your comment that it doesn't sound the same like the Igbo Ada: it doesn't matter whether it sounds the same like in 'normal' Igbo language. You know why? Try this experiment: ask an An English descended American to pronounce the word 'today'; then ask an English descended Australian to pronounce 'today'. You will see a big difference in pronunciation, even though it is the same English word with the same meaning.
Having said that , let me shock you the more: The Idoma pronunciation of their name Ada is the same with the 'normal Igbo' pronunciation of the same name! That was why I was so surprised when the said Ada told me she was Idoma.
Judgement: We may not agree with everything Nnamdi KANU says, but on his insinuation that Igbo and Idoma have more in common than the letter 'I' at the beginning of their names, he is very very correct.
okwute also means stone in my language. does dat make me an IPOB ![](/faces/huh.png) ? PS: am not idoma |

Ibukzy: W oju singer, Kiss Daniel has definitely come a long way in the music industry. With many awards in his kitty, his songs have also topped charts across Africa.However, there is something that the singer isn’t happy about. He told Sunday Scoop, “I often say that dropping engineeringfor music is the greatest sacrifice I have ever made for my career. That’s because I studied water engineering for five years and I graduated with a good result. Many of my mates that we left school together are doing verywell now, and sometimes, I feel bad that I’m not practicing the profession that I devoted a lot of time and effort to study. If I was a practicing engineer, I’m sure that I would have gone very far by now... On the flip side though, I enjoy what I’m doing and I have never pictured myself doing a 9-5 job. Making music comes naturally to me and it makes me happy, so I have no regrets. ”Speaking on the intellectual process that he goes through to write songs, he said,“For all my songs, I tell stories and pass messages across. I’m dedicated to making good music and I don’t subscribe to the notion that good music doesn’t sell. Good music doesn’t even need promotion because it would sell itself. Good music would also cross international borders and announce one to the world.”On his plans for international collaborations, he said,“Right now, I’m just concerned about making good music. International collaborations will come at the right time but that’s not my goal. Nigerian music, right now, has caught the attention of the world and I’m definitely up for anything that would introduce my music to different cultures.” the bolded pretty much has regrets written all over it. but wetin concern me ![](/faces/huh.png) leh me come an be going |

Education / Re: Latest Webometrics Ranking For Nigerian Universities July 2017 by alex81(m): 12:33pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
Pedagogue: It's a shame that many Nigerians accept whatever is thrown at them without doing a personal check!
Quote me, Webometrics is not recognised outside Nigeria, and by extension, Africa. The chief reason for this is that the ranking system does not fit into the most advanced thinking on University ranking methodology. Specifically, the ranking is mainly based on University 'presence' on the internet-hence the name-'WEBometrics'. In fact, there's a caveat on Webometrics' website that: "It does not measure, compare, or quantify design layout or popularity but rather uses presence, access, and visibility as the key indicators of quality and performance in the higher education sector."
Little wonder therefore that the 2017 Webometric ranking of World Universities goes thus:
1. Harvard University 2. Stanford University 3. MIT 4. University of California Berkeley 5. University of Michigan 6. University of Washington
My point: Yale University, Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton and Columbia are ranked 13, 7, 10, 23 and 27 respectively! The only ranking methodology that can lead to such conclusion is WEBOMETRICS!
Accordingly, the only place UNN & Covenant can be rated above OAU, Ile-Ife; and FUTMINNA rated above UNILAG & ILORIN is Webometrics!
The QS World ranking of Universities, Academic ranking of World Universities and the Times are the rankings that are respected all over the world. Unfortunately, apart from UI that is recognised by the Times, no other Nigerian University is recognised by these reputable organisations.
So, stop falling over yourselves-Webometrics has little or no practical utility! bros if u no like the ranking, use this rope and do the needful
