Next time, it's 'can't' and not 'cant'

daretodiffer:
Werey

Post your own picture and lets see

park well jorr...
you're so much bereft of sense of humour...mtcheww

everyone knows the poster was only teasing the Op and here you are here forming hyper-seriousness

there's something we call humour, madam...and the op definitely put his blacky pix there to rouse that

tennyson10:
. 1)I said WAEC..and not GCE/NECO .. 2)We're talking about real life experiences and you're still refering me to google??

No!I'm not saying every parent should start rushing up their kids,we have different kids with different abilities.. You can't always judge the way a child would interact with his environment based on his age..sometimes you might even take a 13 year old boy to be 16..after some time he'll get to adjust to his environment(with older peers) and in the long run there is really no bad effect.

well then, I can see sense in your point...I myself graduated @15yrs...

but to answer ur question exquisitely,....I'll modify this post in few hours time...



but you made sense...tho, at least looking at the short term

laryom1:
Graduate first! I hope you would like to share the story. This is Nigeria bro, you will later realize that the number of internship space on mdcn website is actually not so. In fact, After getting your BDS, if you would practice in Nigeria, you "would" want to get an MBBS. Although what most people don't know is Dentists are not teeth specialists alone.

I'm surprised you're trying to give a logical reply to that boy...lol, forget it..let him wallow in his subtlety

and we've had enough of this MBBS vs BDS...lol. How do you practising Dentistry affect I practising medicine??... only men of low esteem and reasoning linger in such argument.


go to studentdoctorforum.com and see med students talking and challenging themselves with so much exquisite civility and sharing ideas....you'd understand why Nigerian universities ain't even among the best 800...

tennyson10:
. Who told you the result isn't usable that same year. After I got my result in ss2 @13,I still had to complete my second school nd I was still d youngest graduant in my set. Even though I had to take a break after then and later balanced with the normal entry age,my sister didn't and she would be graduated from the university at 18,and now she's doing very fine. .now tell me what you mean by suffering,except if you think age is a function of general intelligence.

sounded like you're protesting

external exams can't be used for admission the same year . by external exams, I meant GCE/NECO Nov/Dec.

2. as per the developmental oddity, do urself a favour an google out 'developmental stages of life and implication for deference'....

thanks

tennyson10:
possibly, there are a lot of kids like that who write their waec in ss2 and go straight to uni.

so he left primary school @8yrs
entered sec school and wrote WAEC at age 13 in sec school(coz if it were to be external exams, the result won't be usable that same year)
...and got admission that same year of 13


he will suffer later....coz he's bypassing a crucial phase of life....

tennyson10:
he probably entered at the age of 8,finished at 13 and entered uni the same year. I also had my O'level cert at 13 but didn't go to school that same year.

so he spent 5yrs in sec school??

"With Everything"


Open our eyes,
To see the things
That make Your heart cry,
To be the church
That You would desire.
Light to be seen.

Break down our pride,
And all the walls we've built up inside,
Our earthly crowns and all our desires,
We lay at Your feet.

So let hope rise,
And darkness tremble in Your holy light,
And every eye will see Jesus, our God,
Great and mighty to be praised.

God of all days, Glorious in all of Your ways.
Your majesty, the wonder and grace,
In the light of Your name.

Our hearts they cry
Be glorified,
Be lifted high, Above all names.
For You our King,
With everything,
We will shout forth your praise.


that song re-invigorated my Christian life

MayorofLagos:
So what if he fails? Ports are security gateways into the country. Your response here is unreasonable.

yea it's unreasonable coz you didn't see beyond the dimension of having ur tribesmen there even tho they're corrupt

MayorofLagos:
I dont know why Northerners or Ibos are in charge of Maritime and Ports Authority to be honest. Maritime and Ports administration should be Yorubas, Ijaws, Efiks, Ibibios.

Bode George was once the chairman of NPA, he failed...

I hate my Yoruba men failing while they were entrusted with strategic position just because of their greediness

DrMoffy:
wow! so happy as if I won lotto. E pele sir. Ile baase lawa o ooo, eyin nko sir?

DrMoffy:
Aare, Ikire own is actually Akire of Ikire and not Alakire. tbh, I'm in love with ds thread but I hardly have time. I only check once in a while even though I put it on permanent viewing mode on mobile most times. I will try and see if I can compile some information about Ikire this week, there's a book written by my late uncle(journalist/politician) IKIRE A-Z by Chief Wahab Toye. I will call dad if I can still get a copy anytime I visit home.

omo ikire ni emi naa o...

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
I agree with your points but i am slightly uncomfortably with your first suggestion.
Going by the last Confab, the SE delegates also didnt speak with one voice. Ebonyi state was seriously against regionalsim, they opposed it vigorusly. Micheal Ahamba, another SE delegate, argued against any form of secession and balkanisation.

Partnering with the SE might be a good idea but one thing you should know about them is that they always want an offer that would make them the Alpha & Omega. They always want to dominate.
Prof Ben Nwabueze, a SE delegate at the conference, asseretd that the indigene/non-indigene dichotomy be removed so that the SEasterners can also have equal political and social rights as the natives in Lagos

Now this is something...

OnReflection:
I harbour the same concern too, as you would note from my subsequent post.



Like you, I believe this is the way to go.
But wait a minute...I think we may have to leave Lagos out of the equation to begin with. The combo of Lagos-based politicians who fear being subsumed and E-siders that only pay lip service to regionalism, are likely to rail against any attempt to merge with Ogun state.



Nah, we need to demonstrate the benefits of a merger with our interior states first - lest we end up with some semblance of the much derided Sene-Gambia union.

I agree with you.


Now, what's your template for the way forward.
Want to see ur own personal perspective


I said mine with first post of this stage

Onereflection, I do subscribe to that white paper by the Yoruba groups tho, but couldn't we assess how to partner with the ohanaeze at least where we agreed(regionalism)....??

2. Afenifere has been infected by political jobberism....I don't trust them a nadir- a feeling shared by most people I've spoken with on this matter

3. Whatever the Yoruba elders are doing without carrying the Yoruba youths along is DOA


4. NOW, THERE MUST BE A TIME FRAME. A time frame keeps a kinda pressure on us and erodes laxity and complacency

5. We don't actually have the masses along, and relating to the 3rd point I made, a sensitization of our students in various higher institution is imperative- university should be rallying point for intellectuals (and thank God I'm back to school, lol).


There should be first and foremost, a conference in all Yoruba towns, LGAs, states and then nationally.


And have a common standpoint that any central government that can't give us our aspiration shouldn't expect block votes from the south west, albeit this would come with initial sensitization of our people....



And yea....there should be a template for development which sadly is lacking in the Yoruba states

OnReflection:
Kats,

I have been unable to locate the submissions made by our kindred from Kogi. At any rate, these were superseded by the conference resolutions copied in below.



Whatever we think of Jonathan's hurriedly assembled conference, it actually did provide a framework for regionalism-lite.
Why aren't we pressuring the party at the centre to follow through with those recommendations, as advised by Afenifere?

Sir, don't you think we partnering with the Ndigbos can give us the necessary strength in number needed to make this sail through??


I beg to submit that Afenifere didn't get anything tangible in the national conference (I agree with ffkfuckedbianca)....


But I saw the ohanaeze report as a very clear and cogent standpoint....

CabbieAC:
Angiography oun re ooo

thanks Aareonakakanfo....
lol...I acted that cast when I was in secondary school
perhaps that explains my the fondness I have for you (??)

nduchucks:
The best submission in my opinion is the one by Ohanaeze Ndigbo . Read more here

thanks bro... the ones being peddled by the so-called afenifere reads pathetically extraneous.



modified.... whao...first time I agree with the indigbos...Ndibo, indigo (??)

CabbieAC:
Hmmmmmn Onreflection should know more about this

Nduchuks you wan help us?

I really need it....and you get virtually nothing searching via google....

and getting a synopsis of it can even give us a topic to discuss in propagating our cause

I'm glad this thread is up and running back....sometimes we may think this' a waste of precious time, but not to be discouraged, we would be judged by posterity ...now (coz I've got pieces of info which has brought a light to my desire- development of the Yoruba land and by extension, Nigeria).... and future coz years after years, people can come back here to find hope, information, direction- not to forget that a search on Google can be directed to Nairaland....


yea we shouldn't be tired. lol, if we are sooo deflated by such a minute opposition, then it's sad to say we ain't strong yet to fight for change and development in the real world of actualizing our dreams for the motherland.


CabbieAC, shymexx, ilekehd, modath, one reflection, all of us, let's throw last night behind us..
lol, tomorrow is a better day...and it looks promising....


oya...who knows bout the submission of the last confab report on regionalism??... I just need a concise opinion., coz the one being peddled by the Yoruba so-called elders seems too ambiguous

I have to agree with the Op...

it's long I left the state of denial..., to find a solution, we must firstly agree there's a problem.


And the problem is our mind ain't developed... and this can be seen all around us... the best university in Africa is on no 521 on QS ranking. That says so much on how we care to improve our intelligence...


I saw some guys above playing the ethnic card...Lol, guys forget that...the intelligence of a society is evidenced by her productivity and administration... and using the above parameters, we all would agree we are lagging behind the race...


But the joy of the thing is there's solution... and I would enjoin the Op to lay out the solutions.... or a template for development rather than overstating the obvious.




PS: If you're now still blaming the white colonialism for our underdevelopment, you probably still belong to the stone age.

profjendor:
very yoruba to the core....our language is yoruboid, we bear and hav yoruba cultures.

right then.... I should widen my search for "marriable" lady to kabba then...

Thewhizzkid1:
GOOD LUCK SIR!!

I love you bro....really. I love your desire for success and striving towards excellence.

I saw Ur post on student doctor forum.....and saw u can trade Ur ego for excellence- a lesson that worked for me

profjendor:
so u are from yagba.....ave always seen u on here....omo kabba ki me gha..aku gabdun

so Kaaba is Yoruba??

tupacshakur:
You're wrong, bro!

The slogan, "The state of the Living spring" perfectly depicts and propagates the insignia, core and crux of the state, the Osun Oshogbo river and the Osun Oshogbo sacred grove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The river has been there, not only before Christianity arrived Nigeria in 1842, but before the birth of Jesus 2000 years ago.

well well well, you're not wrong....let's call this off

tupacshakur:
When it comes to relationships among Christians and Muslims, the emboldened is true to some extent.

Adherents of Yoruba traditional religions, on the other hand have been labelled as evil, fetish et al. by the followers of the imported religions like Islam and Christianity.

You wonder why Aregbesola changed the slogan of my beloved state of Osun from "The state of the Living spring" to one yeye "Land of virtue". The former slogan tends to promote our traditional religion and gods at the expense of imported religions...

That to me is intolerance of the highest order. Aregbe should be advised to appease the gods and goddesses of the land and revert to the old slogan with immediate effect, for sanity and prosperity to return back to the state.

O ni lati gbe ebo losi oritameta.

Lol....this' a new twist to what's been peddled before as per Aregbe changing the state slogan...not a few people believed 'state of the living spring is CHRISTIAN' (Apparently Jesus, in Christianity, is referred to as the living spring.) and that changing it to 'state of virtue ' is giving credence to traditional believe/religion (coupled with changing the state's emblem to if a cowry, and ori omoolokun ).

this definitely is contrary to your opinion.
I think Aregbe tried to balance the equilibrium amongst the three religions...which again is contrary to Ur opinion

tupacshakur:
Oro rirun...

Even if a "God" exists somewhere, did he disclose the names of those in his "Heaven" to Adeboye?

Adeboye should stop acting like he's the assistant or Spokesman to a "God" whose existence can not be empirically proven. Has he even been to "Heaven" before to know a "Heaven" exists?

I find it funny and sometimes, hard to believe that learned, schooled individuals, including most guys on this thread, believe that there's a heaven somewhere and People either go there or go to Hell when they die.

Christianity...deceiving and scamming my fellow Yoruba folks since 1842.

Churches...ripping Yorubas off (Via Tithes and Offerings) and destroying our traditional cultures and values since the active days of Henry Townsend and Thomas Birch-freeman in Badagry and Abeokuta.

SMH

Lol...but somehow it isn't bad to have freedom of association and believe; of which personally I desired to be identified with Christianity.

albeit, the beauty of Yoruba land is in our diversity of belief...or unbelief....and tolerance has been our guiding principle from onset....so, I don't see the essence of the attack u launched via Ur post...

mhizzcutie:
OP,,where did you get your info from As of this year,,Ansu school fees for fresher's is #137,000 while medical student pays #251,000. Get your facts right before posting!!!!

yeepa!!....#251,000 too much faa for an average Nigerian



tho op is wrong tho, oau fee for fresher is upward #70,000

cathodekazim:
Christainity is a false religion

Why won't they frown @it

Only islam brings moral to the society, in terms of dressing, behaviour, charity, giving alms etc

Most immoral and unclad dresses we see nowadays cm from the xtian, the celebrities, politicians, girls on d strt , university girls etc

They knew it bt will neva say the truth

If by now yu still blv Jesus is ur personal lord and saviour then I think yu shd be preparing to rot in hell

Am sure Jesus is in support of immoral dressing, immoral acts, fornications etc as most of these attributes are from the xtain
Even in ur so called capital of xtianity bethlehem and jerusalem, they do cover head

In jesus days, they do cover head, it is even in ur so called bible tht women shd cover head ! Then y frown @ ppl covering thr head

Christianity is directly proportional to falsehood,lies and immorality

Lol...see this terrorist ooo
