As a Muslim, one could be named that or could name themselves only if they are confirmed Bastards. Born out of wedlock children. Confirm one oo.
So it's not out of place.
So, you see Islam is a complete way of life.

Very true. Leave them. The have browsed too much ni

rhemauni:
Lol

Kids talking what they don't know

Let me educate you all

PhD is the beginning of academic career while Prof is the pinancle of academic career.

In Nigeria of today by NUC standard u must have a PhD for over 10 years ( usually 12 yrs) before you can be assessed for professorship. Of course u gather relevant teaching and research experience within that period with over 50 academic publications in high impact factor Journals. Scopus, Thompson Reuters, WOS etc, with good citation index as will be seen in Google scholar, research gate, scopus, Wos etc

Academic career progression in Nigeria

Professor
Associate professor
Senior lecturer
Lecturer 1
Lecturer 2
Assistant Lecturer

PhD will only qualify u for as automatic lecturer 2, to move from one cadre to another u will spend a minimum of 3 yrs on teaching, research and community service.

U won't find a Nigerian professor in the last 15 yrs without PhD. U can't even become a senior lecturer without PhD. Without PhD ur academic career will end in lecturer 1 n u won't teach PG students.

The post you replied only mentioned what is obtainable in the Nigeria system. And it is 100%true. No phD holder in any Nigeria academic institution would talk low of a Prof.
I hate it when some Nigerians compare themselves with this other country with respect to things like this. Every country with its own rules and ways.
When Nigerians start to talk like this, they want to do shua shua somewhere niyen o

oyatz:
Is professorship a Nigerian creation?


Are Professors without Ph.Ds in US, Australia, Canada, Germany or UK inferior to Nigerian Professors?

Just leave them, when their fathers, husbands and sons start raping their wives, daughters and mother's respectively. They'd understand better.

Sure, they can't stop it, more of the programs to start soonest. Same way the consequences would not stop too.

dogmax:
I think the federal government of Nigeria need to stop BBNAIJA from functioning Because BBNAIJA don't add value to the viewers rather it teaches our youths immoral behaviors. How can we be promoting prostitution in this era. I bet you if qualification of entry into BBnaija is by solving mathematics and other creative skills, we won't have people like Mercy, Tacha, IKe, Efe and so many of them. The best graduating students don't enjoy what this so called celebrities enjoy in this country. Please this is my personal view so don't take it personal

What would happen if the sun does not appear for the next 7days??

missimelda01:
Wait.. What!

You need the moon to stop fasting?? Didn't know that
What if something happens and the moon doesn't show for the next 7 days

Hustle oo, make you no dey post did kind story for advise.
Go and hustle. Simple.

Thanks
I really appreciate.
I would contact them.

mimilyrics:
Your school will be better placed to advise on what visa would be suitable for you because the visa you will apply for will depend on your school's license for that particular program. And yes, you'd need to have enough money to cover your travel expenses in your account+ a 6 month bank statement (No lump lodgements) + letter from your school and other requirements like in visit visas.

2 visa options
You can apply for the standard visitor visa but studying (not more than 30 days) shouldn't be the main reason for your visit.
Otherwise, you'd have to apply for the Short-term study visa. Short-term study visa is only for schools/courses with Tier 4 licenses (not sure that a Distance Learning Program is covered under T4) or listed by the following:
Accreditation Body for Language Services, Accreditation Service for International Colleges, Accreditation UK, British Accreditation Council, Education and Training Inspectorate (in Northern Ireland), Estyn (in Wales), Education Scotland, Independent Schools Inspectorate, Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), Office for Students, Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education

Anybody please?

No offense bro, I am just surprised at your ignorance.
No right thinking Muslim would feel offended with that.

PervertProphet:
Your religion right from her founder insults others but suddenly takes offense when all we do is literally repost what is in your book.

Or you want to deny that it is not in your books?

The Arabic is provided so you can confirm it is authentic that is if you can read the Arabic.


There are many like that in your books. I didn't invent it. The Companions of your Prophet recorded it.

I wouldn't know if this is to spite Muslims or ..

Make sure you use your 3-Stones to clean your anus like your Pedophile Prophet Muhammad instructed Muslims to.

Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ الاِسْتِطَابَةِ فَقَالَ ‏

‏ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَجِيعٌ ‏"

‏ ‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ كَذَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُرْوَةَ ‏‏

Narrated Khuzaymah ibn Thabit:

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked about cleansing (after relieving oneself). He said: (One should cleanse oneself) with three stones which should be free from dung.

Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been narrated by Abu Usamah and Ibn Numair from Hisham.

Make sure you don't tear off the inner walls of your anus Sorry your brain in the process.

Mr Advisor,
Whats your business about what I believe in, you made a claim which I justaposed with your IQ level and you suddenly turned to an adviser.
Keep your advise for your own life and you could tag this post and the former or screen shot them for future reference.

ENGINEERG:
You have to grow, why getting all the elective and appointment offices, when your life can't change for better..let me tell you, this is the world u r into now and u know how it is, you don't know where you are going after this world, so stop deceiving yourself, pray so you enjoy this world and the one after which no one has experience..

It's only people with low IQ that would equate betterment of life to material things.

Muslims are only saying the obvious.

They are saying enough is enough.
Let us be and you be too.

Thank you

ENGINEERG:
No matter how Muslim marginate Christian, there lives can't be better than Christian lives,,even in that Ilorin, the rich people buying property and having good lives are Christian. Muslim will forever be slaves to the Son

For record purpose, I am sure the percentage of Christians in Kwara is roughly same or slightly higher than that of Muslims in Ondo

Onlyonebuhari:
Did u guys know that Akoko area in Ondo State have 80% Muslims and yet no complain of marginalization by the Muslims in Ondo State.

I am sure you know that those jihadist guys would continue to rule over you, so far you are still in this country

Ojiofor:
It is your Northern christians that are crying,wetin concern me.APC still remain a jihadist janjaweedian terrorist friendly party.

Then keep your hands off the keyboard and your brain shut on the matter.
Let the North continue to do their Islam and let the south continue with their Christianity things.
Let's see who would cry foul last last.
Hypocrites.

Ojiofor:
Direct your nonsense questions to CAN Kwara state chapter.That they are muslim dominated does not mean they are a muslim state like Sokoto.
Tell me the percentage of muslim population in both Abia and Rivers state?Abi you want them to go to Zamfara state to import muslims for appointment?

Mindlog:
Write to Swansea to get info on available scholarships and see if you qualify or better still visit international scholarship page on Swansea .University website. Am headed to Swansea University come September for my Masters.

Please could you send your digits, so that I can communicate with you better.
I have some pertinent questions to ask.
Thanks Sir

I read it.
And what?

Yenefer:
read the article

Biased write up. Shame on you.
You dare use Kaduna as an example and you didn't mention states like Ondo, Ekiti where the Muslim to xtian ratio is more than that of the xtian to Muslim in Kaduna and for years Muslims have been shortchanged in this states, talk less of states in the south south and south east.
That one is normal.

Yenefer:
Current estimates put the Christian and Muslim population in Nigeria at almost par, though some estimates give a slight edge to Muslims in the country. While the north is predominantly Muslim, the south is predominantly Christian. Yet, these broad categories ignore significant populations of both faiths across both sections of the country. For instance, the Middle Belt and parts of the North East have significant Christian populations, while the Southwest has significant Muslim population. The balance of the faiths has encouraged a balancing act in the choice of political leaders but there are fears that if current projections are right Christians will have a hard time leading this country in future.

According to the Pew Research Center, Nigeria’s delicate population balance between Christians and Muslims will tip significantly over the coming years. It predicts that by 2060, some 40 years away, 60.5 percent of the country’s projected population of 283.2 million people will be Muslims, while Christians will make up just about 37 percent. Four years ago in 2015, Muslims made up 50 percent as against 48.1 percent for Christians.

The implication of the large shift in the population is significant in political terms, especially for Nigeria where political leadership at the national level and in several states have been coloured by partisan interests such as religion and ethnicity. In the country’s history there have only been four heads of state/presidents who were Christians and seven Muslim heads of state/presidents. The Christian heads of state and presidents were General Aguiyi Ironsi, General Yakubu Gowon, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Goodluck Jonathan. The Muslim leaders have been General Murtala Muhammed, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, General Ibrahim Babangida, General Sani Abacha, General Abdusalam Abubakar, President Umar Musa Yar’Adua and President Muhammadu Buhari. While all of the military heads of state came through coup d’états facilitated by their positions in the military, the political leaders have emerged through an unwritten understanding that power should rotate between the north and south and between Muslim and Christian to breed inclusiveness and cohesion. So far that principle has held at the national level. Given the ethnic and religious mix at the national level and in many states, there has been a deliberate attempt to balance the leadership between the two faiths such that there is a Christian deputy when a Muslim is president and vice versa. This assures most people that at the highest level of decision-making they are represented. This has been the practice over the years but at no time is it more necessary than now when the country is buffeted on all sides by conflicts and cries of partisanship. Yet, the signal from certain quarters raise fears and call us to vigilance.

In the last general election the Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai went against the grain of this basic understanding to present a Muslim-Muslim ticket, which eventually won the election in a state with a significant Christian population. While the governor called his decision an informed one based on competence, many people saw it as pushing the envelope too much. In the words of Femi Fani-Kayode when governor’s decision was made November last year: “It is wrong, divisive, dangerous, provocative and insulting for Nasir el-Rufai to field a Muslim/Muslim ticket in the governorship election in a state like Kaduna in which 50 percent of the people are Christians and in which thousands of Christians were butchered over the last three years.”

Indeed, we have had cases in the past, like the famous ticket of the Social Democratic Party in 1993 which had both Muslims – Chief MKO Abiola and Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe – on the ballot, and which is generally believed to have won the annulled election. But Nigeria has drifted terribly in recent years because of nepotism in government and the reality that political leaders have exploited their leadership positions to apportion favours on partisan parameters, including religion. A clear case in point is in the distribution of the local governments across the country, which has seen less populated dominant Muslim states with more local governments than states in the south with significant Christian population. These were largely enabled by the military governments but they have come to stay as immutable facts of the Nigerian reality, perpetuating a culture of discrimination against Christians.

A second reality of the adverse effect of sectional dominance is the nepotism that has attended the federal administration such that the key security agencies are all headed by Muslims. This has led to cries of sectionalism and, in some cases, pogroms, from minorities and Christians. Over the last few years, criminals working in tandem with herdsmen have terrorized communities across the Christian states, especially in the north, burning churches, razing villages and something akin to religious cleansing. These security challenges have raised fears of exclusion across sections not in power. .

President Buhari has already kicked off his second term in office, which will run till 2023, by which time the presidency should go to the south and to the Christian faith. Already, permutations are afoot in both the ruling All Progressives Congress and opposition Peoples Democratic Party on the succession. Christians must insist on their due right, despite the obvious undercurrent to raise the ‘competence’ argument as a smokescreen to continue the tradition of nepotism and sectional dominance. Balancing the presidency and political offices are central to guaranteeing inclusion in Nigeria. The country is too fragile, with widespread insecurity, reports of ethnic and religious cleansing and partisanship to disregard the zoning principle and religious sensibilities. The recently released 2019 Fragile States Index ranks Nigeria as the 14th most fragile state in the world, with a score of 98.5 out of a maximum 120 points, even much worse than Mali. Insecurity and marginalization of ethnic and religious groups have not helped. There are fears that more crises will come if equity takes a flight in the sharing of political offices. Already, the signs are ominous. The National Assembly has just been inaugurated and for the first time since the return to democracy, the heads of the two arms – Senate and House of Representatives – are Muslims. Fears have rightly been raised by different political and pressure groups because it means that for the first time Muslims now occupy three of the four leading political offices at the federal level, with the vice president being the only non-Muslim. Added to the fact that the Chief Justice of Nigeria is also a Muslim and key military and intelligence agencies are led by Muslims, the possibility of further tension and cries of marginalization are not farfetched. This permissiveness must not set the tone for the presidency in 2023. Christians must insist on a shift not just in the geopolitical origin of the next president but on a Christian president.

Obviously, you are not up to speed. Kindly go and ask any anatomist with a phD that you know.

CSTR2:
A doctor does not know about pathology than an anatomist with a PhD.

Please read more about this things.
Over the years, what other countries do and I feel it can be done in Nigeria is incorporating the residency training with an Academic training such that after first two years in the residency training and having satisfied the examiners to move on to be a Senior registrar, you defend a MSc and after your part 2 to become a Consultant which is 3-4 years, you defend a phD and be awarded a MD degree. Most countries adopt this to blend the problem.

emapeteum:
In the first instance, physicians were not supposed to go with the title Doctor. The title is purely academic with the highest academic qualification to teach. Equating residency to Ph.D. is laughable. Quite sad that most physicians who are Professors in Nigerian Universities are not Ph.D. holders.
Correcting an error that has been the norm by NUC is not out of place and NMA should stop this blackmailing behavior. Whoever wants to criticize this should check history, please.

Brother
You don't understand this thing.
Check what they do abroad. They now offer a MD/phD degree simultaneously in the medical field. 7years. That does not in anyway make that degree holder a consultant in anything but rather has the phD.
PhD is nothing in the medical field bro. It's like said cosmesis.
Please ask around on how to be a consultant and I tell you, no phD degree is equivalent and can be equivalent.
But it's also nice to do phD
To please make you understand, the Medical School has at least three faculties
Basic Medical Sciences- MBBS/BDS holders lecture directly but you'd need a phD to move on just like other departments. They teach the 100,200,300 level students or rather the basic medical courses Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry and so on
Basic Clinical Sciences- A MBBS holder cannot take this set of students, in most schools you must be a clinician i.e you must be a Consultant. And a PhD is an added advantage. Pathology is an example of area in this level.
Clinical Sciences- This is a core area for consultants such that you would need to be a Consultant before you can be hired in the University. A doctor of 100years experience is not employed, if you like have 2000phDs, you can't be employed. The training is clinical everywhere in the world. Having a phD maybe in basic medical or clinical sciences would be a better advantage.
Brother,I'm sincere no phD holder can supervise this guy's conveniently in our country.
Maybe in the future, we would have consultant phD holders who could do it.
To have a full grasp of who a consultant is, just ask a phD holder in basic sciences or Medical sciences in the Medical School ( there are lots of them) and he'd tell you more.

You could search online too.
Peace

I am a chemical engineer.

From 400 level -500 level, only lecturers with doctorate took us in school.
300 level is for lecturers with atleast a masters.
That is the policy.

How much more in medicine that deals with human life and need highly experienced teachers.

With your composition, I would rather believe you are intelligent and not say ill words to you.
But brother, you don't know what they are saying here and I'll advise you to just read comments and go. MSc my foot.

yinchar:
What a bunch of illiterate medical doctors saying "PhD is cosmetics"

All over the world, a PhD or equivalent is required as a minimum qualification to join academic positions at lecturer level and above at any University.

A PhD exposes one to a narrower field but at greater depth and understanding.

Most medical doctors that are teaching our medical students are just holders of MBBS which is a Bachelors degree equivalent to having BTech or BSc in Engineering. However, with residency periods, we can subjectively agree/disagree its equivalent (but not) to Masters.

Irrespective of the aforementioned, to be a lecturer in a proper University you need to have a PhD, there is no shortcut about it.
