EDUCATION SECTOR: Nigeria's brutal heroes killer.

Recent degradation in arguably all sectors prompts the attention seeking question, where are our potential heroes? Heroes are known during times of difficulty. Nigeria is currently going through some, we need our heroes. We will probably not find satisfactory answers until we are sure they are alive or dead due to the terrible education system.

Imagine a Nigeria with hundreds of Okonjo Iweala, Dora Akunyili, Akinwuni Adesina, Tony Elumelu, Godwin Emefiele, Pat Utomi, Nuhu Ribadu e.t.c. Recently, no Nigerian university was included in the top 1400 in the world, you surprised? A closed institution cannot be.

Where are our potential heroes? Semilore (a friend) says "THEY ARE AT HOME" not within the four walls of their various institutions. How can we refine these potential heroes when our schools are closed. Just this week, students of all AAU and FUTA were apprehended for 16 million naira internet fraud. Is this what our potential heroes have been reduced to? Students of public secondary school students in Oyo State have been at home for over two months until yesterday. Has it gone this bad? Remember, an idle hand is the devil's workshop. IT IS DISHEARTENING TO SAY, THE EDUCATION SECTOR HAS KILLED MORE POTENTIAL HEROES THAN DEATH. Isn't it an irony that a sector that is expected to groom these heroes is it's number one killer.

On behalf of all affected students across the nation, I appeal to all stakeholders of these institutions to come to a compromise.

Like Semilore, do you know where our potential heroes are? Please tell me. I hope they are not wasting (dying).

The 10th edition of the Headies which took place last night, Jan 1st 2016, entertained us with some gist worthy and memorable events, that no one is talking about because of Olamide’s unfortunate outburst on stage. From Majek Fashek’s surprise performance, to our introduction to Pastor Harrysong, join me as I count down the gist worthy events that went down last night that weren’t about Olamide.

Eva’s proposal

We were all shocked when rapper and makeup artist, Eva got proposed to by her boo, Tinsel actor Ceasar. The “proposal” ended up being quite dramatic as we weren’t sure if it was part of Victoria Kimani’s performance with the rapper, a publicity stunt by the rapper or if it was the real deal. We all talked about it briefly……until it was swallowed up by Olamide’s antics. I am quite sure Eva won’t be happy though……cos we aren’t talking about her.

More after the jump



Majek Fashek’s performance
Majek Fashek performed for the first time on stage at an awards ceremony since, he was allegedly checked into a rehabilitation centre by Warri based billionaire businessman, Ayiri last year. The ‘’rain maker” performed impressively alongside the biggest winner at the 10th Headies, Timi Dakolo yesterday.

2face and Don Jazzy’s recognition

Two of Nigeria’s most respected figures in Nigeria’s music industry, 2face and Don Jazzy were honoured yesterday for their contribution to the industry. As expected, Don Jazzy looked more pissed that pleased when he accepted his award and did not hide it. He expressed his anger and disgust when he dropped the “if it is the car you want, come and collect it” line.

Bovi disses Freeze

The comedian, who was one of the hosts for the event, took direct shots at controversial OAP, Freeze, who is currently engaged in an ongoing battle with comedian Basket Mouth. This ordinarily would have gotten people talking and would have even trended on social media.

Beverly Osu returns to her dancing roots

The BBA alumni, went back to her dancing roots when she danced at the Headies alongside respected dancer and host of the event Kaffy.

We were introduced to Pastor HarrySong
Five Star music act, Harrysong, had an amazing year last year with his monster hit “Reggae Blues”. The visibly elated music star became a Pastor on stage when he gave his testimony of how he started out in the music industry and how God lifted him to his present position.

SIMI and FALZ performance........that was my highlight of the headies regardless of the nonsense dos two CEOs did. Those two nailed it, especially SIMI's vocal prowness

morbeta:
The man is very broke, he sold his two remaining properties in Lekki and from information, a top Apc leader bought it as a bait for him to surrender his loyalty.

I dont understand what you mean by broke...........but this man is got massive investment both in nigeria and in Ghana......He owns a 5 star hotel in Ghana......pls do ur findings well...........that he decamped to APC is more of benefit to Apc than he is........this man has massive followership in Ogbomoso, some part of oke-ogun and Oyo..............during last election, Labour party cleard every post in Ogbomoso and some in OYO including a relatively known Ogunmusi defeating Soun of Ogbomoso's son, Oyewunmi of APC and then House Majority leader........Adeola Mulika of PDP. I av been a LAUTECH student for the past 5yrs........I kw what I am saying. HE IS A god in that land.

tyconcepts:
Plz if anyone know who did this song let me know the name....

"I cannot call on your name and end up in shame...No way".

I am also looking for this song oo, If u eventually get it......pls help me out with d link.

Considering the fact that I am a lover of good music, I spent a good time today analysing these two undeniable talents
The question is between Kiss Daniel songs (WOJU and LAYE) and Adekunle Gold songs (SADE and ORENTE ) which artist song combination is more dope.

MY OPINION..........Woju was a massive hit, if I am to pick just one song, it 'd be Woju, but laye didnt match up to either of Adekunle Gold songs.......therefore, I go for Adekunle Gold.

I hope I am not the only one who have noticed these constracting figures.
When our army wins, the number of BH militants casualty is usually high but when BH attack (overun) a village just few civilians die. for clearer understanding of what I am trying to say, Imagine if there is an attack in Oshodi not to talk of a whole village.

for everyone who think Hausas are animals and they are not good for anything. I bet you do not undestand love, respect and loyalty. No matter their differences they will never fail to show a brethren these attitude, unlike southerners and eastherners who will do everything to bad mouth a brethren. (Ambode, Oshiomole, wike). If you are suprised by his utterance, you know nothing about northerners.

lekjons:
is Buhari the Supreme Court?? if the law finds him guilty his fate lies in court not in buhari's hand

so you know that his fate lies in the court and not in Buhari's hand. Why have you consistently requested that Buhari send Jonathan and his cabinet members to jail?

1. As long as you are there - donnie mcclurkin 2. Grateful people - kurt carr 3. Great ar you Lord - sinach 4. Dwell among us - Donnie Mcclurkin 5. God is here - Martha Manuzzi version. 6.Halleluyah - Donnie Mcclurkin. Try these songs, they are awesome. I've too many i cannot post

It is a pity that a zone that barely voted PMB would be at the fore front of demanding positions from such a person. Humility is a virture arrogance a burden, being humble and demanding development not position would help igbo politicians. The last i check whoever is appointed a minister doesn't share hisslaary with the jerks who cry themselves to sleep over it.

bro, foret the fact that the Igbos did not vote him, the moment he emerged, he become the president of Nigeria and not the president some selected part of Nigeria. (He is president of all including those who did not vote him) .

Oooops:
This thread is dedicated to all polytechnic graduates who took the pains to go to school for 4,5 and or 6years.
Mine was that some weeks ago, I applied for a job with stanbic pensions and was told they don't take HND. .. Just BSC. I felt bad but moved on. I knew that wasn't mine and simply told my Bsc friend to apply and he was taken. Thank God the space wasn't a waste.
Please let's share our experiences and hope some day thing's will change for the better.

bro, Dichotomy or not, Bsc and HND are not the same level. Why?
This view is from the engineering perspective.
1. Entry requirements. It is tougher in a uni.
2. Different Curicullum. Bro, one thick pass the other.
3. Government funds.
4. Quality of research. You cannot compare the quality of research of a uni lecturer or student to that of an HND holder.
5. Qualification and brilliance of lecturers. how many professors do we have in a poly. Even doctors
6. Money invested (tuition, hostel fee, projects)

lest I forget, polytechnics are not established to train engineers bt craftmen, technologists, technicians, articians etc. If you want to do the work of an engineer or get the same pay. You have to find a uni.

They (HND holders) complain that they do more of the work. I agree, nurses do more of the work bt they can never be a mate to a doctor. (WHY ARE NURSES NOT COMPLAINING, BOTH OF THEM BE UNIVERSITY GRADUATES SELF)

Am I ignorant of the potency of polytechnics? NO. My simple advice. GET OND FIRST THEN GO FOR DIRECT ENTRY. (LAUTECH STUDENT)

Kingbilo:
BUT where in the Bible does it say you must give tithe to any institution.. Beside Jesus himself said whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, that you do unto me

please check Malachi 3:10.......... 'Beside Jesus himself said whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, that you do unto me' ........Jesus was not talking about tithes here, rather it was abt giving.

Kingbilo:
I am so skeptical about "men of God" and their plans for the money that I prefer to help those in need directly.. Is this bad?

Why do people give tithe to support other men (pastors) like salary...

What are your thoughts?

helping others is no subtitute for paying your tithes. You should always pay it because It is a command by the most High irrespective of your view. Giving to the less priviledge is compulsory also but it is no subtitute.

donmoris:
yes but is it because of it?

since you are a virgin, how do you know that the feeling you feeling is sexual? Just trying hard to bliv yu!

4th country in 2 weeks. GEJ own sef no worse reach dis. Clike like if you know that PMB has spent more time outside the country than inside.

This argument brokered between me and my friends, I will not state my own view so as to have a level playing ground. Please, nairaland who is richer between sen. Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja and sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

udatso:
Can't you for once pretend like you are sensible.

...............aint no pretender bro, these ar my stake. Av got many to loose, I kw u do nt have any.Cant just watch a man decieve me again and again.

I swear wahala go happen if you (GMB) do not return our girls, end boko haram, make 1 naira equal 1 dollar, curb corruption. These are what you told us and we believed you........wondering why we voted this liar.

lomprico:
Yes na

lomprico:
Vote kowa?

will you be voting kowa tomorrow?

Thou GREAT NIGERIA, I'm afraid as much as
you are.

IF GEJ WINS
1. Will you go through another 4 yrs without
a single finger raised against corruption?
2. Will you continue to experience
continuous deterioration to key sectors?
(power, defence)
3. Will you continue to experience sluggish
reaction to national threats?
4. Will more convicted leaders get state
pardon?
5. Will you experience more devaluation of
naira?
6. Will you have to wait until extra time to
address insecurity?
7. Will more of your own perish to
insurgency.

IF GMB WINS
1. Will Nigerians get job without cerfiticates?
2. Will your C in C prefer to address you from
far away UK?
3. Will Tinubu, Amaechi, Atiku be spared
when the fight against corruption start?
4. Will you have a C in C without adequate
knowledge of your economy?
5. Will more of your own be convicted
without proper trial?
6. Will you have a C in C without a clear
mission statement? (even Jesus had to tell
His disciples. come, follow me, I will make
you fishers of men)
7. Will your own be continually lied to in
order to appease their sympathy?

Dear Lord, NIGERIA needs help, do not
forsake her.

that guy is a ladokite. He is part of 2014 log out. He wore dat on yoruba day. I also have a differnt pix i snapped with him. He took dat pix beside high rise building. THAT IS CALLED CREATIVITY AND THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF LAUTECH.

Which of them? Abeg help me narrow my options

I really do not know why FAYOSE attacking GMB is so disgusting to the APC. Afterall, this is what they have not failed to do to GEJ for the past 6yrs. Just 2 attacks and heaven is abt to get loose.#justsaying
