Sincere9gerian: Did you check the date of your link? Why are you posting links of reports written during the last ASUU strike? My guy, things have moved far beyond your silly link. In case you dont know, the ASUU strike was later called off and govt released the first disbursement of N200 billion, which is already being accessed by the various schools.

ThisDay did an investigative report on Ghana universities and NUC had already raised concerns about quack higher institutions in Ghana. I've also seen reports on TV about schools in Ghana. If you have anything to the contrary, pls lets have it here

F117A: Okay maybe that is the wrong word but it doesn't change my point.
[b]Inadequate unis [/b]especially in the north have resulted in the creation of millions of invalids.

Sincere9gerian: If you continue fuming all over the place you'll only die of hate.

Meanwhile, I deal with FACTS not sentiments.

Here is a proof of the N200 billion intervention fund for existing universities, including state universities.

The FACTS show that the major reasons why Nigerians go to Ghana for higher education because of lack of space in Nigeria

So my guy, your emotional rants have no iota of facts.

F117A: That is being simplistic.
We can see the effects of illiteracy in out society.
Having 4 unis gulping all the resources would mean less access to education and more problem for Nigeria.

F117A: And how many unis are in those countries?
I would be surprised if it is up to 10.
if we had only 10 unis in Nigeria gulping all the resources,then you'd have a point.
Nigeria is a very populous country.
Our priority is on availability in light of limited resources rather than superflous asthetics.

Sincere9gerian: Bad belle no go kill you. Over 70,000 Nigerians are currently in higher institutions in Ghana because of inadequate access to higher education in Nigeria.

Sincere9gerian: Besides, Kogi state had no federal university before now. That is not too good for a whole state. Now they have one, which provides job opportunities and access to higher education for qualified undergraduates.

Sincere9gerian: As for the existing schools, the FG recently gave them N200 billion intervention fund. Part or a major problem in some of the schools is mis-management or mis-allocation of available resources. Besides, these universities should not perpetually depend on govt for funds. The management should creatively look for other sources of funds

UrbanMystique: www.nanobiosilver.com/howpeopleuse.html

UrbanMystique: lol at Not a drug but a technology.
Anyhoo, nano technology which is mostly electron Is different from nano silver a drug for bacteria/viruses etc although all under same Nano tech, do more research on that.

By the way, I didn't say Nigerian invented Nano silver, read and comprehend.

UrbanMystique: I said if"
Have you ever wondered why it's only America that has been shouting down every other drugs? Nano silver (pesticides) bitter kola very bad.

If your house is on fire, and I manufacture a fire extinguisher that can put out the fire with extra cost, if someone else comes with water solution to the fire, won't my greed make shout that the water is a bad idea?

Simple logic Bro.! America is just greedy here no one is blaming them for failure of anything

acorntree: The problem with our educational system is that we lay too much emphasis on theories rather than practicals. Most of the curriculum being taught still covers outdated topics which are no longer relevant to modern day . Garbage in garbage out.

2gbasky22: can a graduate of electrical engineering from any of Nigeria university design an electronic system?? Lets say maybe a pocket radio

atlwireles: To be fair to the DSS , political consideration and maintaining a low temperature election climate was more important, than arresting this person. You are correct, this person should have been arrested regardless.

atlwireles: You don't care?? Then you are not been realistic. The lies of APC and their headlines will burn like wide fires, before DSS has an opportunity to say their side of the story. We don't live in a vacuum.

atlwireles: Arrest a politician in Osun for bribery??. Describe what that headline will read in APC's news medias across the world

ZKOSOSO: You just spoke my mind. You can never see a typical hausafulani pushing hard for a christian northerners even from states where xtians are dominant for the position of a democratically electable president of nigeria.
There is this inherent emasculation of northern xtians politically by their own fellow northerners who are Hausafulanis.
So when will this stop

solomakindees: When Jakande started LASU, it was absolutely free.
Fashola introduced very high fees, can't pay staff salaries on schedule and the place looks rundown. This was a guy who paid Sixteen Naira/session for four years in Benin o!

naijababe: What business do universities have with halls of residence? It's no wonder they don't have any money and I suppose that's expected to subsidized too?

naijababe: It is not so much of ignoring dignity of labour as much as many of us not wanting to pay fair wages. The average plumber or mechanic in the UK or US has his own business good employment laws ensure they are paid fair wages. I don't even it's occurred to any of our legislooters, never mind doing anything about it.

naijababe: This is one of the big underlying problems, there's no reason why manufacturing companies/banks, small retail firms, telcos cannot absorb many of students who end up with redundant degrees. Having said that, we have to stop treating our skilled labour workers so badly

mbulela: technical graduates have a lot of potential in our economy,if you believe NOI and her band of talkatives.
Also, it is easier to set up a trade venture as a graduate of one of these trade centers and technical colleges than a uni graduate.
we have too many uni graduates. we need less.
More importantly,we have way too many half-baked graduates.
Meanwhile,our tradesmen are not polished in their trades.

naijababe: Technical colleges and vocational institutes, apprenticeship schemes, perhaps?

anonimi: The factory is located at Ojo on the Badagry expressway. It is the old Volkswagen of Nigeria (VON) plant.

BTW, should this not be on the FP so we have more eye witness reports from the area where the planty is actually located and maybe people who work there or are involved with the project

ovadoze: Yeah let's continue to blame GEJ, yeah he should have been at the airport to turn back Mr. Sawyer, he should have developed cure for Ebola virus by now, infact GEJ was supposed to carry gun and enter Sambisa forest to kill members of the BH, he shouldn't have killed Yusuf the founder of the islamic sect(Yaradua did), he shouldn't have allowed Buhari to overthrow the civilian govt of Shehu Shagari, he shouldn't have allowed the military to rule us for that long, he enthroned corruption in Nigeria, yes he did, he liquidated most Nigerian owned companies (NITEL and Nigerian airways comes to mind), blame him when u have dysmenorrhea, blame him when ur lecturer takes bribe, he's supposed to tell Islamic radicals that they shouldn't kill their fellow human being in the name of religion, blame him for the death of morals in the country, blame him for causing the civil war, blame him for the laziness and ineptitude of Nigerians, blame him when u fail exams, blame him for nailing Christ to the cross, blame him for all the things that happened in Nigeria before he was born, blame him for the amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria. Keep blaming him.
