i can't help but say this,thus is the best thread on NL ever.No insults,no abusive words,no dirty talks,there is this togetherness that draws people and make them wanna open up.And i smell respect and love in the air everytime i log in,this made me always wanting to be here.Moreso people are welcomed with open heart and arm that encourage sincerity.The orderliness is dope and the kindness towards each other is amazing.i can go on and on but to cut it short...this thread is beautiful.i love it.

The reason is simple... Our interests are alike. We striving for one thing "obey the clarion call". Besides, what do expect when you have a group of Graduates from different parts of the country?. Just peace and harmony.


If only the whole of Nigerians can be like the people in this thread, have a common goal, Nigeria would be better.

God bless the thread owner
God bless our gurus (dem dae answer questions die)
God bless the questioners
God bless my likes (ghost members)
God bless us all. A'16 all the way.

For students from KASU:


Don't get worried if you can't find your name on the NYSC website after first attempt. Instead, try changing your first name to your surname or middle name to your surname. The school used the first names of some students as their surname names making it difficult for students to check.
Secondly, make sure the spellings are correct.
Lastly, make sure to input the right matric number.

For further inquiries, go to the office of the Dean Students Affairs (DSA).

In other news, the same school (Kaduna State University) would be holding its 2nd convocation on the 12th of December, 2015.

Very good thread. Meanwhile, where are Jarus and Chambers? I want to have some discussions with you, please.

When your friends know virtually everything about you.

By Tabia Princewill
I AM aware that by the time this article is
published, I will most probably be inundated with
emails asking me to clarify my position. So I will
do my best to do so from the onset.
In the Western world, a university degree has long
been the prerequisite for gaining middle class
status. Indeed, in the United States, for example,
the affluence of baby boomers and their children
was correlated to getting a degree and an office
job, which in many African countries today
remains the norm.
President Barack Obama has called higher
education “an economic imperative” as
statistically, those who graduate with a university
degree make several times more than those who
graduate with a school certificate for example
and this is true in many countries. However, in
Nigeria, over the years, qualifications have
become a mere symbol and having a degree in
many parts of Africa does not necessarily mean
that one has gotten an education.
Students are presented with paper qualifications
at the end of their courses but remain bereft of
even the most basic skills one would need to
work and survive in an ever-competitive and
global work place. So, this raises the question:
What then is the point of a university degree? We
need to rethink the point and purpose of many of
our tertiary institutions which churn out half
baked alumni with often zero chances of ever
getting an entry level job, let alone progressing to
much else. I remember how much Dr Goodluck
Jonathan’s commitment to opening a university in
every state of the federation was celebrated at
the time by those who the point of a real
education eludes, and who also do not
understand that quality beats quantity any day.
Half the universities in Nigeria today are not
viable institutions: the teaching one receives at
many universities would not pass as a secondary
school course in other climes. Yes, the truth hurts
and we must be willing to acknowledge painful
truths so that we can empower young Nigerians
to grow and achieve. But how can they when
most exams in Nigeria are not based on testing
students’ ability to analyse or discuss but on their
capacity to retain lengthy information, like any
computer or robot could?
Furthermore, the states many universities are
located in are barely viable themselves, unable to
pay salaries, creating little wealth and
development, adding even less value. It is more
important, in Nigeria, to pay public officers
salaries than to develop and empower those who
elect them. In France, for instance, to reduce the
cost of governance in several regions, their
governments and administrators will be merged
into larger, singular bodies which will not stop
government from reaching the people, or from
delivering on the quality of life citizens deserve.
On the opposite end I fear we in Nigeria will not
stop creating states and universities until there is
one state per ethnic group and one university per
street corner! Having more universities looks good
on paper, but in a country where education is
already so poorly funded, we would do well to
consolidate the few functioning universities we
have rather than encouraging the ad hoc creation
of new and unfortunately irrelevant ones. But let’s
get back to the contentious issue of who should
attend said universities.
The truth is that with so many young people in
university, the value of degrees is lessened,
grades are inflated and trades are understated. In
many industrialised nations (e.g. the US, Canada,
Japan, Australia, etc.) barely a quarter, or 25% of
the population goes to university as more and
more people learn a trade. In good African
fashion, I must admit my brief surprise when a
plumber in the UK complained to me about his
mortgage.
The idea of a plumber in Nigeria being able to
afford a mortgage isn’t something many can
unfortunately contemplate. Learning a trade in
Nigeria is hardly the preferred option, no matter
one’s social class as there is little dignity of
labour in our country. So, every year the Nigerian
Law School produces thousands of lawyers the
economy and the society does not need. More
than half of the class of 2013 is still searching
for a job and every new batch simply adds itself
to the melee and one finds 30-year-olds who have
never held down a job.
I am not calling for universities to become elite
enclaves which only the rich can either afford or
aspire to. However, I am indeed asking that
vocational training and skills acquisition becomes
a real agenda for government (beyond Jonathan’s
simplistic purchase of stoves for women). A
young person’s potential is realisable in so many
different ways and if our education were more
practical, less theoretical, the high failure rates in
some of our universities would be lessened, as
some students would realise their calling or
aptitude is perhaps more suited towards learning
a trade. Why does Nigeria import deep sea divers
in the oil and gas industry therefore helping Asian
experts make huge salaries when Nigerians could
be trained for that purpose?
There are huge and undiscovered job and
entrepreneurship opportunities if government
would create not just an enabling environment
but prepare students from secondary school to
understand what the world requires of them in
terms of values, attitudes and skills. One last
point I would like to make is about parents:
studies show that many cognitive and non-
cognitive skills are hereditary.
The children of successful, affluent parents are
almost predestined (I don’t often like or use the
word as I believe the power of human agency
supersedes any inevitability) to do well. So we
must rescue parents of school-age children in
disadvantaged regions as their own
understanding of education also determines their
children’s success. Even some rich Nigerians
would rather push their daughters to get married
than get an MBA but that’s a topic for another
day perhaps. Ideally, we should want every
Nigerian to go to university but given the few
jobs available in the sectors Nigerians typically
study for , it might not be such a wise investment
or public policy to pursue.
We need more realism and less utopia in our
public discourse so we can find work for those
already out of school and create a society where
paper qualifications are not the beginning and the
end of a better life.

CHANGING NIGERIA FOR THE BETTER!
Abalaka Philip Ejima (Mr. Universe)
I said "NIGERIA, the giant of Africa!" Somebody
said, "that was then".
If that be the case, what has happened?
Why has our beautiful country with all its glory,
gradually turned into an anervated, miserable,
dejected and seemingly a doomed nation!
What has happened?
Why have we used our hands to frustrate the
effort of our Heroes past who fought and bled in
one accord, not minding the ethno-cultural and
religious deferences between them just to uphold
the honour of our Great Country!
What has happened? Why? The greatest strength
of our Great Nation has now become the biggest
threat of the Nation.
What has happened? Why is everyone putting the
blame on the government?
Is it really the fault of the government? Could it
be that they are truely the cause of all these
problems?
I dont think so,
I think the only corrupt government I have met
are those I can give account of and they are :
That little child in primary school who is
specialized in steeling other pupils' pencils and
money kept in the bag... thereby making them cry
and getting everyone flogged for crimes they
didn't commit.
That young boy in high school that inflates the
prices of textbooks and other fees just to exploit
his parents and end up buying a PSP game or
Nintendo64...
That girl in college who bribes and sleep around
with shameless lecturers to boost her gp so she
can contest for the beauty queen of the
campus...
Those family relatives who you sent money to
build you a house, so that when you return back
to Nigeria
You will have a home of your own, they ended up
eating the money and sending you pictures of
other people's houses whereas, you dont even
have a block not more of a house.
That mechanic I paid to fix my car and he ended
up using the wrong materials for it.. so I can
come back frequently.
That police officer who has made himself a tool
in the hand of the rich to oppress the poor rather
than protecting them.
That judge who collects bribe from the rich and
keeps delaying justice until the poor runs out of
money to pay his attorney thereby been denied
justice!
That lecturer that has sworn that I wont graduate
until I pay my way through!
That school head master and proprietor that
collect extra on my waec and neco fees to sought
supervisors so I can copy freely to past my
o'levels and the members of these exam bodies
who leaks out exam questions so I could see it
before the stipulated date for the exam...
That Pastor who have failed to reveal the truth
God ask him to reveal for the sake of fear or
favour...
That Iman that will convey wrong message to my
muslim brother so as to get "sadaka" (charity)
from him unduely.
That man in that office that refuses to give me a
job because I am not from his tribe or religion
even when am qualified
That admission officer that wont admit me into
that university because a sanator's child result
has been exchange for mine.
That young teenager that is not working but
using a blackberry Z10 while parents are using
nokia c1
That doctor who is specialized in aborting
pregnancy for young girls and selling hard drugs
to young boys.. leading them to their early grave
That landlord who organized thugs to beat and
throw me out of his house when I delayed to pay
my rent..
That soldier who goes out of his jurisdiction to
oppress innocent civilians!
That custom officer who get paid to smuggle
contraband into the country.
That supplier who ran away with my money and
failed to send down the goods I demanded!
Those set of people who primarily rig election by
secretly collecting money on the day of election
before voting.
That market man or woman that uses a smaller
"mudu" to measure gari for me because I dont
know the right scale...
The list goes on and on....
Believe it or not, everyone is a part of these
problems either directly or inversely
But..., Dont be the reason why another person
will change for the worse.. be the reason why
somebody will change for the better.
For Nigeria to be a better country, I need to work
on the corrupt parts of my life and those around
me. If I can successfully fix it and everyone does
the same, the glory of this country will be
restored in seven folds.
CHANGING NIGERIA BEGINS WITH YOU AND I....
LETS MAKE IT WORK FOR THE SAKE OF
POSTERITY!
IT IS OUR CALL...
NIGERIA, good people, great nation!

Akdegreat:
If you truly love your discipline, reading beyond you course shouldn't be a problem, just read something about your course that's not explained in the class , study because you are curious to know something not because you have a test to write. As for addressing the public, it may take a little time. Start practicing it . You defend your seminars and projects as a final year undergraduate and also in your work place. You may start by always speaking to people. Just walk up to your colleagues, juniors, lecturers and anyone you feel you maybe frightened to speak to. Dress well and be confident. Face your fears and you'll have nothing to fear.
All the best Sir

thank you very much sir.

Akdegreat:
Don't get it wrong bro. The feeling is amazing, you receive preferential treatment ,you are respected , you have the audience when you speak. You have a high self esteem. Don't forget all eyes are on you. People believe in you. So you have to perform beyond expectations, you have to 'deliver'. But then, you forgo some things.

My number problem is that I'm not outspoken, talking in public feels like facing a lion. Then, reading beyond my course work or outside the course content. and I happen to find myself in a class where everyone feels he/she is the best. I'm in my final year now, so I have a lot to learn. To make reading a habit, to have the courage of expressing myself, and all that. Tnx sir. I appreciate ur words.

I've been wondering what my regrets would be when I finally graduate. I used to think there's this natural happiness that comes with having a CGPA above 4.5... Well, so far I haven't experienced much of this feeling. Maintaining a CGPA of above 4.5 feels like magic to me. Reasons being that I sleep and play games a lot, I give little time to books and anything academics. I have a poor relationship with my lecturers but good with my colleagues. Okay, right now all I need is motivation; to grow passion for my course (Economics), to study properly, to build a good future from today (I want to be rich), to have the best of friends, etc. OP: I'm happy for you and I need your words of advice too.

Can someone please help me out on this. What are the current policies and strategies put in place by the Nigerian Government to reduce/eradicate poverty and inequality?

ayfat23: PLS IS THERE ONLY ONE CENTER LIKE THIS WHEN YOU WROTE YOURS? because BAYELSA IS FAR FROM MY PLACE OGBOMOSO

it wasn't so last year. I school in kaduna and I wrote mine their. Last year, we were allowed to write at any federal unity school close by.

Sammiejo: So they have not changed. I happened to be among the 1st batch when the scheme was restarted. I completed the screening and I am still waiting for the result. They just went incommunicado, I was so angry at myself for spending my pocket money on transport to the venue, plus the whole day was not optimised.

. Bro, it's not a scam. I can swear with anything. I also thought it to be a scam, until my school called me to come collect my award letter. Even with the letter in my hand, I didn't give a damn if the money would come or not until I received a credit alert from first bank.

I'm a beneficiary... 1 of the 8 students that were awarded out of over 240 candidates that applied from my school (kaduna state University). I'm damn lucky. The Irony of it is that the scholarship was supposed to have been awarded since 2012 and to terminate in 2014 as stated by the award letter I received, but instead, I went for the screening sometime in 2013 and received the 1st part of the fund in May, 2014. I just hope the remaining 300k will come as soon as possible. Na our money na...
