Nothing Beats book Apps... Please, anyone should recommend some.

For a minute I swear I thought the heading was: "17 Year old boy dies in Colorado after smoking Ondo"!!!

...And nope... I ain't high on that shit!

This generation sha... Any small thing, na to dey threaten people with suicide. How did we fall this low?!!

I keep asking... Who is raising these weaklings?!! Even during the Great Depression in U.S and other parts of Europe, people thought more of forging ahead than taking their lives.

It is well with you Op... Honestly can't say more for now.

...And what is with you people and travelling or congregating in villas for Christmas?!! Dem dey remote una?!!... Some even use their entire year's savings for such inanity. Smh.

Low Self Extreme?!!... Or did I just read wrong?!!

The fvck Op?!!

DMerciful:
As in his dick is not working?

Works just fine... He pees!!!

Elpipitaaa:
wait this girl don marry and she still had sex in that show? waiting we no go see for this life

Shall we talk about the alarming and ever rising number of married women knacking steadily outside their matrimonial homes in today's Nigeria?!! Need we bring forth the stats?!!... E go shock you speechless!!!

Abeg, free this attention hungry fake ass chick... Marriage don dey turn scam for Naija!!!

The institution has been getting less sacred, honorable, and respectable even before the turn of this current century.

Sammy07:
I missed this Benin lawmaker Patrick "something"

The grammar......

Obahiagbon... A.K.A Ogodomigodo

"...Even corrupt nations call us corrupt"

This is deep!!!... Naija matter is beyond us!

DamZik:
Hell Rufai, Fat Fayemi and Wicked Wike are the terror governors that like to impose lockdown on their people indiscriminately. To them, it is a means to prove their mightiness not about doing anything concerning any virus. They like to turn themselves to gods. Wicked Souls...

Exactly... That's wrong! An abuse of power.

It's unacceptable in a democracy.

Nbotee:
U go know say country don red wen aboki don join begin do fraud/scam

The thing shock me finish... I think say na only terrorism dem sabi!!!

Gr8amechi:
Arsenal problem is not Arteta but the board, give that team to klopp and he will also fail.
Arteta bleeped up, he should not have taken the job at all, look how lampard was backed despite winning nothing but someone who won fa cup and won community shield against Liverpool was not backed, football has changed, you need players to play

Klopp will probably fail, but not as badly as Arteta... Even Mourinho won't lose 5 straight games with that team. Honestly, I doubt even Soljskaer and Lampard will lose this badly with that team.

senatordave1:
My brother,you are highly learned and enlightened.a lot of us look up to your football views.you should translate it to the political section.you are a unique fellow who should not follow the Nigerian bandwagon mentality esp when it is wrong.you are the kind of person that will question and criticize a widely held view.that nigerians call him supreme court gov doesn't mean he is and you shouldnt follow and if you must,know that he isn't the only.same applies to sanwoolu

Okay sir... I get your point clearly.

I shall desist from terming them such offensive names going forward. Thanks.

senatordave1:
Which of the three supreme court governors do you mean? By the way,sanwoolu is one of the best governors and I dont see anything wrong in pointing

There is only one governor in Nigeria with the widespread and acclaimed nickname "Supreme Court Governor"! Google it if you must.

I also don't see anything wrong in Sanwo-Olu pointing too, but the nickname is what it is! I didn't christen him, nor the one in the East.

There was no real basis for the last lock down, and it did nothing but make Nigerians worse off, as no provision was made with regards to palliatives... Things are far worse now, most youths are rearing to go to war with the authorities... Another lockdown will upturn the nation into pure anarchy which we may not come out of.

Nah... Don't let her go! Hold her tight, even place her on half of your monthly income... Since some of you simps have decided to remain unfortunate. Mtchewwww!!!

Pointus Pilate, Supreme Court Governor, and other over-sabi should embark on another idiotic lock down! They think they are impressing or fooling anyone, well maybe the zombies!!!

Like I said earlier, and will keep saying... locking down any state or the entire nation is merely a recipe for chaos worse than what we saw during Endsars. Any governor or leader who tries it should be indicted by Hague. Nonsense!!!

Karleb:
If I can't differentiate between transitive and intransitive verb, can you differentiate between Purine and Pyrimidine?


Bullshit!

Good question... Our professor must have gotten confused while making his point. He still made a good point! We have to do better as graduates of this time and age.

I advocate constant self improvement especially in individual areas of expertise.

HigherEd:
Lol what is this

English proficiency isn't education. It is just one out of many very useful languages.
If you aren't a journalist, editor or an english academic, it is perfectly understandable that your knowledge of the language is common and not exceptionally professional. Just be able to write and communicate effectively without gaffing.

If I am not wrong, folks studying language still study adjectives, adverbs into their postgraduate levels.

As for geography. Perhaps I was taught about tropics of cancer, capricorn in secondary school, and my brain has simply relegated that information or it wasn't relatable enough to remember. But I find it funny the suggestion that inability to remember some topic in geography makes my entire education 'dangerous'.

If I rolled out an on the spot test in SSCE Biology, many of today's lecturers (including the OP) who aren't within the sciences would fail it woefully. And accessors would still agree I never crossed into higher education biology with the test.

E je ki awa guided o.

Well written... That's the part I vehemently disagreed with him on.

However, you see that part of "Just be able to write and communicate effectively without gaffing.", you will be amazed to know that only less than 25% of graduates can actually do that.

My issue with most graduates of today is not just poor grammar... A lot of them don't even bother about self improvement. Even the best schools in this world can never teach you everything, cos we learn in parts.

illicit:
Inasmuch as I respect you sir and that you are my country man, you lack sympathy and common sense sir....


Your lots benefited from British curriculum education which was mostly government sponsored or on common scholarships....


What do you expect?

Your lots destroyed the scheme, as you weren't a politician, you aided and abetted them.

You were a lawyer to Obasonjo who was another recipient of Nigerians benevolence and gullibility....


You guys ruined everything so don't compare

Blames... Blames... Blames... Wake up to the reality of today sir.

Education, good education is even far more accessible now than it was then. How??! The internet.

Instead of young people to maximize the internet and sundry resources to better their intellect, they rather pursue nefarious and mundane things.

Yes, our elders messed up with respect to building good legacies, but how well have your peers pushed to break barriers of ignorance?!! Everything good can never come easy.

Arrewa:
The government hate mass enlightenment.

Forget the government... Stop using your region as a case study here.

Government is not the sole reason why most youths don't value good education.

I don't agree with everything he said, but I must concede that our universities are churning out semi-literates with very low intelligence as graduates these days... So many of them are already all over politics and romance sections.

While I don't expect every graduate to be well versed in grammar or geography, as he emphasized above. Still, a graduate ought to know the basics of almost all these. He should be able to express himself fluently in the common National language... These days, that's way too much to ask of even Masters degree holders.

I won't put the blame solely at the feet of our lecturers (Though some are quite unqualified to lecture a soul). Basic/foundational education for most Nigerian graduates is either half-baked or grossly less than average. I am talking about basic primary to secondary school education.
Forget all these grades and scores in WAEC and JAMB (A lot of them are purchased)... How many of our young people in Universities obtained quality, complete and thorough basic education??! Trace this carefully, and you will see the genesis of the rubbish graduates sneaking out of universities with bachelor degrees.
