snoopy: And those drilling the oil as well as their supervisors make up the 1 million figure? A reference will most certainly be appreciated to substantiate the veracity of your claims

snoopy: Dangote's investments in refining cannot expressely be reagarded as "foreign investment" as your partner stated

snoopy: It simply mean when oil was
discovered as far back as
1956, Nigerians expected their
lives to change as a result of
this but instead the same oil
that's supposed to have been a catalyst for development is
now a source of pain, anger
and resentment...a situation
in which economists refer to
as the "resource curse"

snoopy: in what aspect of the economy are these "investments" because if you are referring to the oil industry, dominant players like shell are actually divesting their assets in Nigeria as a result of the immense corruption that abound in the system.

To the judges I know you didn't really like my debate...I am not really good at writing but if it comes to speaking to a live audience then count me in...All in all my mb that I subcribed on the modem finished just today...seriously we wasted more time than necessary...@ all Thanks and God bless

Source/Reference?

I clicked on the link supplied for your “references” and nothing happened. I wasn’t directed to the source or basis of your argument. What gives?

damoskiy: In the 60s and 70s when the standard of education in Nigeria was relatively higher and when the sanctity of the four walls of a classroom weren’t as desecrated as we have it today, there was nothing like online social networking and teachers then still brought about students who turned out to be professionals in their various fields of endeavour later on

damoskiy: what do we learn from facebook if i may ask

damoskiy: you could call the student aside to speak with him its better that way

snoopy: i disagree with you kind sir, it is not negligible. thinking the financial incapacities of the 'few' poor students not being able to fully partake in educational activities as a result of not being able to afford online interaction as negligible will amount to discrimination, and what do you think this will do to the morale of such student?

damoskiy: if we encourage ourselves physically we would have better understanding of the person and his state of mind at that time.we cannot know someone state of mind via social network

snoopy: That is not entirely correct. Closer to home, to the average Nigerian it is not a luxury. But you must understand that a lot of people still fall within the one dollar a day category where the only opportunity they have of attending school at all is brought about by the free education policy of most state governments. It is a luxury for those kind of people.

damoskiy: school is place to mold and shape a person for the future.The ability of you not been able to speak in class shows that you have low self esteem.if a teacher interacts with you on line how is your self esteem going to grow

snoopy: dont you think the student will naturally see this as choking? considering the psyche of the average student where holidays are highly anticipated, expecting to be free from school work, assignments and the close monitoring of the teacher?

snoopy: In this regard, how do you cater for those who cant afford the luxury, bearing in mind that some students are not privileged to have parents who can provide them with facilities to harness the 'benefits' of these niceties. Conversely, the classroom is a space where everyone can be equal and have equal access to learning. The internet may not provide equal access and may hinder some students as a result.
