There is one thing you can't take away from white men, when they get a first or, at least graduate in a science course, they KNOW what they are doing. I schooled in Naija and I also schooled here (UK), from both experiences, most Nigerians like to memorise and lack understanding, thus, cannot solve a NEW problem or challenge in the field of study while Oyibos prefer to understand. Moreover, the system over here is designed in such a way where an ignorant memoriser will be found out. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MEMORISER TO GET A "FIRST" HERE. Nonetheless, Nigerians are very hardworking compared to their oyibo counterparts.

Secondly, the UK has removed the university subsidy. As from next year, every UK citizen that is just starting a tertiary education will pay the FULL PRICE (about 8 k and above which is about 2 million naira, per year). Some will obviously not pay, so,they are indirectly forcing people to vocational jobs. This is a government with sense. We can't all be graduates(skilled labourers), we also need the unskilled.

muyoto:
but wait o! why is the assumption here:

higher fees = better quality of education?

is that really the case?

you need to find out what goes on in some of these private unis

jason123:


That's why Nigerian multinationals keep employing foreign graduates to home trained. Its a shame! Everyone goes to university, not because they want to learn but because they want a "degree". Yet, a "chemist" will find difficulty doing simply titration. An Engineer cannot do simply maths. A doctor does not know where the liver is located(check the career section you'll be amazed).

Man, the university system needs some MAJOR restructuring!

Ogbeni, how was he wrong?? Prove you your case and I'll prove mine. I am not known to defend Fashola like a slave.
If we are all engineers, who will do the welding and bricklaying??

What we need is COMPULSORY FREE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION. [/b]That will make everyone literates. University is too far!


[b]Again, well done Fashola!

jason123:
Every pepper seller and omo Igboro wants a degree. The Nigerian education system has been bastardized! In Nigeria, a first class graduate in Engineering cannot convert 100 cm to meters. This is a FIRST CLASS STUDENT!

We see most of them here in the UK, they do their masters 3 to 4 times before they actually pass! Shame!

jason123:

Everyone in Nigeria wants to go to University to be employed. Who will be the employer of over 10 million graduates every year (if not more)?? Fashola is right! This is a leader that thinks and does not conform, the type of leader we need in Nigeria.

I'm sure they do not pay 25K in the 80s. In fact the opposite was the case. Free everyting including meals and a ready job when you finish irrespective of who your father was!

Let me correct some misrepresentations here;

Firstly,The assertion that Lagos has a population of 18million is ABSOLUTELY false.

Second,The Lagos state government do not declare the actual amount of money accrued to the state on a monthly basis,should they do so,Lagos would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with states like IIlinois,Georgia,Boston et al and can afford to build world class hospitals such as the Emory University Teaching Hospital,Johns Hopkins,Princeton,Stanford and the likes whose costs someone put at 22Billion naira.

The major problem with Nigerian politicians is fiscal indiscipline;they claim to spend 100 naira on projects that actually cost less than 5naira. Find out how much they claim to spend on their "half bread is better than none" hospitals and see if it's not very close to the cost of the afforementioned world class hospitals.

Lagos state has the wherewithal to financially compete with every state of the US if only Uncle Fash and Tinubu will be honest to declare how much the state really makes

It is hardly surprising that beneath all the speaking in tongues and hollering of "Thank you Jesus", a good many Nigerian miracle pastors deeply detest one another for the exact same reason that rivalries among street-level drug dealers generally end in gunfire and bloodshed.   That reason is of course market share, which translates into the number of drug-buying addicts served per night in the case of narcotics dealerships, or, in the smoke-and-mirrors world of religious charlatans, the number of cash-carrying punters lured through the front doors of miracle churches to be fleeced in the name of the Holy Spirit.

Every ten dollar purchase of crack cocaine that is sold to a drug-dealing ghetto gang competitor equals a ten dollar income deficit to whichever gang controlled the block previously.   Identically, every salvation-seeking tithe donor lured from one church to another is regarded either as a blessing from Jesus by the church who successfully reels in the donor, or, as an instigator of holy war by the church deprived of tax-free income from that particular victim.

In short, the vendettas and blood feuds raging between dueling Nigerian miracle pastors are all about the money, and who is trying to grab whose.
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammo.

Yes, something massive like a massive power blackout if nothing is done.

Ikwerre is made of Clans. Kindreds. Towns. Villages and hamlets. The
geographical spread of Ikwerre covers all of the Ikwerre portion of the Ikwerre-
Etche Local Government Area. the Obio. Rebisi and Akpor Clans and
Kindreds in the Port Harcourt Local Government Area and the Ikwerre

areas of Ohaji in Imo State.

keep up the delusions of grandeur.
Apart from ibos in delta state no other place do they exist in south south for it was the evil genius who did what he knows best. Abia and Imo states are not south south tho having some oil reserves. Check for similarities amongst your numerous clans.

Seriously? How do you not know your own dialect?

Onlytruth:
Says who?

Onlytruth:
Though he is from my town, I would not vote for him. He should face his business and grow it. His time is sometime in the future if he proves himself before then.
In 2014 Anambra guber race, my candidate is Soludo or Ngige. I would prefer Soludo though.

gabng:
Will not be suprised. He has already started the ground work.

In the middle of this year, the opposers of Peter Obi were very happy because his popularity waned. Now with all he is doing, his popularity is rising rapidly. The opposition are not happy.

His problem is compounded by his refusal to support the Governorship of the owner of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Uba, who has already hired the building used by Soludo as his campaign office owned by Chief Austin Ndigwe, Ozo Gidigbam Gidigbam as his campaign office.

It is believed that the group had reached to the Governor, Victor Umeh, Ojukwu’s wife to help make Ifenayi governor, but did not get firm assurances as they expected.

On Wednesday, the anchor man of Capital Oil, Austine Ndigwe, arranged for Anambra’s Speaker, Chinwe Nwebili; the deputy Speaker, Orizu, Emeka Idu and the one called AFRICA. With Capital Oil’s plane, they flew them to Lagos where they met with Ifeanyi Uba. The money given to them:

Speaker: 200,000 Dollars

Deputy: Speaker 180,000 Dollars

Idu: 150,000 Dollars

Africa: 150,000 Dollars

They were charged to recruit at 40,000 dollars each any House member that can join their group. After that and seeing how happy they were, Uba flew back to Lagos with them and slept with the Speaker.

Uzu Awka believing that the deal is done, is now going all over town boasting that they are now in charge. The man who talks any how is even boasting that having made love to the speaker that everything is alright
