Reyginus:
Lol. So why is their the age of enlightenment? Doesn't that suggest an age of backwardness, wise one?

You should google that.

Rossikki:
You are like a toddler who washes only his belly when asked to take a bath. Where were whites when Africans were inventing mathematics, writing, geometry, alchemy, architecture, philosophy, iron smelting, medicine, ships, and charting the course of stars and planetary bodies? Whites could never make those things you listed without the initial technological achievements of Africans. So ALL RACES contributed to human civilization.

Clown the origin of Civilization is in Mesopatomia. present day Iraq not Egypt. go and read about that.

Reyginus:
Lololololol. The tower of Babel? How did he separate them and how? They tried building a giant tower that will get to heaven? Lol. Is heaven material to be begin with? How do you build something to reach something you cannot see touch or feel?

Go and read your bible. no need wasting time on you. your case na double case.

No amount of Sunshine will make a blind man to see.

Clown blacks did this and that. no facts just cliams. pathetic

LeSudAfricaine:
Yeah you actually did break my heart, I feel pity for you

Lol.....feel pity for yourself. I say things the way they are. without sentiment .

Reyginus:
Maybe blueagent needs to Google the Renaissance Age surely he'd see what came before it.

Clown you should google about the history of Europe or about the age of enligtenment.

Reyginus:
So, how then are black people monkeys if we are come from one source? If you and your brother come from your father and mother who are both human how then are you a monkey?

Genetics. God seperated the entire world at the tower of Babel. God seperated people according to their kind and kins.
Each group migrated from the Area of Babel to different paths of the world. due to isolation and intermairrage among people of the same group. some features became dominant and were passed on from generation to generation.
hence the different races.

Rossikki:
Ignorant illiterate peabrain, I just told you that after the fall of Greece and Rome, Europe fell into its dark ages lasting one thousand plus years, before they re-emerged in the 16th century - with the help of black African moors by the way. Italy, Germany and co are modern creations which have nothing to do with ancient Europe.

I laugh .another one, black moors myth.
which Europe? the darkages did not affect European Civilization . it only changed their political and religeous views.

Rossikki:
Your simplistic analysis betrays your lack of formal education. History is a revolving cycle in which civilizations rise, fall, and are replaced by others, who in turn are dominant for a while, then decline, to be replaced by others. It is not static. The west you worship was in its 'dark ages' from the fall of the Roman empire till around the 16th century. Over a thousand years of unremitting backwardness. Even today, the balance is shifting slowly to Asia, with African economies growing faster than the western nations'. No race has ever maintained optimal development throughout its existence. These are things you would know if you took time to research and study, instead of getting high and rehashing illiterate, beer parlour racist nonsense.

let me ask you. will your blacks and Asians reinvent Electricity,Cars,Internet,Computer. or will they restablish the laws of chemisty ,Physics ,Engineering discovered by whites.
Where was Asians and blacks. when the whites discovered electricity,built turbines,invented Aeroplanes, cars,internet,Tvs,radio,mobile phones,Rockets, the list is endless .Space travel,Moon landing,established bulk of theories and formulars in Physics,Chemistry ,Biology ,Economics e.t.c
You can pick an object or proffession and google about its history.

LeSudAfricaine:
Spot on, lI can even add the PSL soccer league, an entity run by blacks, and the top 15 richest league in the world and a commercial success. l emme tell how Nigerians think and the reason why they like dividing South Africans according to colour, because of their inferiority complex they look at themselves and look at white South Africans and think, "well because they are white" we are already defeated but hey here are black South Africans who are inferior like us maybe we can take a shot" and you'll find them even making up reasons why black South African are inferior to whites, just as long a fellow inferior black is not better of than them, I mean at this day and age, who still cry for re-colonisation?

So football league is now an acheivement. let me remind U that football was founded and established by whites. did i break ur heart?

Reyginus:
Did the black man come from your Adam and Eve?

Yes. why not.

Reyginus:
That means you are a black man. Now tell me, do you also suffer from this low IQ and other infirmities you accuse other black people of exhibiting?

I have High IQ. at least it is evidence enough. that i can observe patterns of black failure globally and ability to , analyse it critically that's a plus.


So you expect me to claim,Iam equal with the person who discovered,established, and taught me all i know in Engineering. is how it works?

Reyginus:
You believe that God created Adam and Eve?

1000% YES.

Clown . The Roman's ,Greek, Assyrians and Mesopatomia empires ruled this world and contributed greatly to our present Civilization. and their present countries are still doing well. Italy,Greece,Germany,Iran,e.t.c
you see your analogy does not hold water.

now you start acting like a typical nigerian, when you give a nigerians real stats, they get emotional.

give me facts. and stop calling names.give black SA individual founder companies.and stop hidding behind Government owned. of course we know government use strong fiancial base created by whites.

14:
You see you are getting it wrong just as you start. Exxaro and khumba iron ore are two different companies. A nigerian will come and live in South Africa for 20yrs and still cant understand South Africa, south african economy is thee most sofisticated economy in the workd, even the americans or brits dont understand it how it works.

Exxaro deals with coal and they are black owned, khumba iron ore is majority owned by Anglo american and they deal with iron ore. No relationship between the 2.

Idiot stop bragging .blacks have ruled SA for less than 27yrs. Prior to that SA .has been Africa's largest and most mordern nation in Africa. thanks to Whites not some lazy sex hungry black SA.

14:
Did you goggle Exxaro, African Rainbow mineral and Royal bafokeng plat? You are trying to justify nigeria's weakness by equiting it with that of black South africans. Black South africans are more advanced than their nigerian counterparts by 100 miles. Even though apartheid prevented their success in their land, by owning any meaningful business. Black south africans have come a long way.

most of the businesses established after 1994, are majority black owned, pre 1994, yes almost 100% of them are white owned due to the apartheid laws that prevented blacks in owning any business.

I laugh at U. google them yourself. clown
In Europe and US their are Companies as old as 250yrs old. so give me examples of black owned companies in SA or Bostwana since it was part of SA prior to their independence in 1965 .that are as old as aleast 50yrs. before the arrival of whitemen.

LeSudAfricaine:
must I give examples that the white man is a mere mortal like you and me?

Who is talking about mortality. I said give me examples.

LeSudAfricaine:
Yawn, yet another one, dude your country's roads are riddled with potholes the size of hoola hoops, soweto alone has road infrastructure far better than your cities, white people much? The day you stop applying your Igbo_Hausa, yoruba etc tribal mentality to South African issues Black, White, Indians, is the day you will realise that South Africa is where it is at because of South Africans , leave your Tribal, racial mumbo jumbo to your village conversations

Idiot . So You are were you are with.
88% police force HIV postive. or 85% of your stundents failing. Mor0n.

Drug addict cut and paster. Do you even know what you are copying? You claim to be black yet you don't know who makes cars in Nigeria? I actually think you are a reta.rd with serious mental problems. By the way, developing countries normally contract out major engineering works to firms with requisite technology and experience, many of which are based in developed nations. It does not mean they are "superior beings", and developing nations "inferior". That is a retar.ded, infinitely stupi.d and ill-informed, .kindergarten way of viewing the world.

Idiot. does Innoson fabricate the engines of those his cars. does Nigeria have a foundry industry or a working steel industry.
Clown. give me one example of major black acheivement.

LeSudAfricaine:
Nonsense! We've been disproving the same thing for ions, it's not my problem that you guys are dense

Give examples .so we can learn.

14:
most companies in SA are owned by black pension funds, maybe you might try to google PIC. when a company is white led, that does not neccesarily mean its white owned. There is lots of black owned big companies e.g. MTN, Exxaro, ARM, Royal bafokeng plat, PPC, etc. You can goggle them if you want further proof. PIC controls $200bn of assets in different companies, and that $200bn is 95% owned by black pension funders.

Ignoramus. One hour of research online will reveal more information and details on African civilizations than your tiny, drug-addled brain can absorb. Why not go on Amazon and order history books by renowned scholars like Cheikh Anta Diop or Basil Davidson to learn African history, since your dumb, school dropout head is empty of all such information?

Same disorted history books. by hungary black attention seekers.
If blacks did build all that .then what happened to their brain. if the whiteman looted Africa's physical resources. did he also loot their head (brain) Lol...pathetic.

They are black owned, becos of Black South African government Affirmative action to empower blacks. buying a company share is no big deal. finding and establishing it is the real stuff.Except for MTN did you google the history of the other companies?

All the infrastructure in Nigeria is owned by blacks. What ignorant garbage are you on about?

Africans mined minerals thousands of years before whites. The oldest mines on earth have been discovered in Tanzania. Modern technology would have been impossible without the pioneering achievements of African civilizations.

Why can't you produce toothpicks? Who stopped you? Other Nigerians far more intelligent than you are building cars, SUVs, buses, chemicals, glass, pharmaceuticals, computers, high rise complexes, and space satellites, while you sit in your inferior little corner moaning about toothpicks like the little ignorant, jobless imbeci.le you are.

Dreamer which skyscraper? give me names of Nigerians who built cars . show one element or formular, theory in Chemisty and physics established by your black men.

In any case, homo sapiens are neither apes nor apelike. All humans are homo sapiens. Whether you are caucasian, mongoloid or negroid, all humans belong to the hominid called "homo sapiens." But where homo sapiens issue from is another kettle of fish, and I'm not getting entangled in that.

Rossikk:
Actually, Nigeria developed TWENTY TIMES FASTER following independence. At independence in 1960, after 63 years of white rule, Nigeria had not ONE university. Not ONE expressway. Not ONE major hospital. No middle class. Not ONE major industry. Not ONE power plant. Not ONE major airport. Near zero telecommunications. And a literacy rate of just 8%. This, in a country that exported coal, rubber, timber, groundnuts, palm oil, tin, and other items that collectively fetched a princely sum in those days.

And most importantly, was ruled by ''angelic, superior'' white men.

Where did all the money go? Why was Nigeria an underdeveloped bush with malnourished children after 63 years of uninterrupted white rule?

From 1960 to today (56 years) the ''inferior'' black governments have built 200+ universities, thousands of miles of expressway, hundreds of airports, a variety of health establishments, Africa's largest middle class, Africa's largest economy with a GDP of $520 billion, a variety of industries including vehicle manufacturing and ship making. Africa's largest telecoms market with an estimated 120 million connected lines. A shining, brand new capital city on the hill (Abuja), and a literacy rate of over 75% and rising. Nigerian-built satellites hover in outer space as we speak.

So by the above comparative statistics, IF we were still under colonialism, we would be nowhere near the level of development we have achieved today. The colonialists, whom you ignorantly regard as angels, were here for one thing only - to LOOT. That is why Europe is as developed as it is today. They LOOTED the rest of the world. Being an unscrupulous looter, invader and destroyer of lands does not make one ''superior'' to his victims, unless your god is the god of destruction.

Lie.


A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL
OBJECTIVES
AND POLICIES
THE COLONIAL PERIOD 1842 – 1955
In 1946, soon after the establishment of the first
school in Badagry by the Missionaries, Lord Grey
had recommended the establishment of
agricultural education. The curriculum was
intended to include household economy,
gardening and surveying and agricultural
chemistry (Faghulu, 1983, P 140). The tradition
of work-oriented education was not successful as
abundant evidence existed in the literature of
complaints against the products of the school
system who were unwilling to use their hands
(Blyden, 1887). The same fate befall the attempt
by missionary bodies to set up industrial
institutions in Abeokuta.
In the twentieth century the Phelps-Stokes
Commission of l922 attempted to redirect the
focus of education to work, as it was generally felt
that the education given to Africans was
inadequate and inappropriate as it educated them
away from their environment. The Commission
saw the need for education to keep the Africans in
touch with the indigenous welfare of they tribes,
to provide them with element of good agriculture
and good Hygiene and to give them training in
good crafts and home economics. This type of
education was highly resented by Africans
themselves who preferred the type of education
the white collar jobs gave them access to in the
government, the trading companies or as
catechists. They criticized the education proposed
by the Commission as interior to the privileged
education obtained overseas.
Between 1901 and 1950 various educational
decisions were taken to meet the particular
demand of the economy, training schools were
set up by various governmental agencies e.g the
Railways (1901). The public Works Department,
the Marine Department and the Posts and
Telegraph Department started various courses
designed to meet their peculiar needs between
1901- 31. These needs were very special and
narrow since the required number of specially
trained personnel were very few; this meant little
expansion which slowed down the growth of the
economy.
The era of open-ended aided professional
specialisation started in 1932 with The
establishment of the Yaba College of Technology
which was designed to train professionally
qualified personnel in medicane, agriculture,
engineering and education. The institution offered
mobility towards a jealously guarded economic
stratum which was peopled by expatriates and a
few African educated abroad. The Yaba
experiment proved the reverse of a pattern
whereby the labour market had indicated or
dominated the activities of educational
institutions. Before that following the
recommendations of the 1945 Commission on
Higher Education in West Africa, the Nigerian
Colleges of Arts, Science and Technology were
established (1950 – 54).
Nigeria’s Ten-Year Education Plan (1944 -1945)
launched in 1944 aimed to provide a type of
education more suitable for the needs of the
country and also provide more financial
assistance to missions, voluntary educational
bodies and native administration for expansion
of education (Adesina, 1977). The plan failed to
achieve the stated objectives because the goals
were vaguely defined and lacked effective
executive. The 1948 Education Ordinance proved
to be a land mark, in the development of
Education as it led to the establishment of the
nucleus of what later became the University of
Ibadan which offered an elitist type of education
for top posts in government.
By the l950s exciting experiments were either
being proposed or carried out at both primary
and secondary levels by Nigerians who were
gradually seizing the initiative from the erstwhile
colonial masters. In urgent response to the task
of identifying the educational needs of the
people, they embarked on the approach of linear
expansion as a planning strategy. In 1955 the
Western Region introduced the UPE followed by
Eastern Region in 1957. In the Western Region
the UPE was followed by the three year
prevocational modern Schools established to take
care of the products of UPE. Both experiences did
not last for long owing to inadequacy of funds. In
1961; before the opening, of the Universities of
Lagos and Zaria, a new type of University, the
University of Nigeria was founded “to provide for
the requirement of industry commerce and
society”. It’s character was a blend of the
landgrant college idea and those of the classical
universities. Twenty years later another new type
of university was to established the University of
Technology.
Harbison’s study of Nigeria’s Manpower needs
prepared a way for the work of Ashby’s
Commission. (1960). Harbison work focused
both on intermediate education and Nigerian’s
require for high level manpower for a period of
10 years and warned against over investing in
higher education and over-crowding the
Universities with cohoresin on-science education,
a warning which is still very pertinent for todays
educational planning. The report of that Ashby
Commission known as “Investment in Education
recommended among other things the setting up
of the sixth form for the GCE/AL and the HSC; the
up-grading of the quality of primary and
secondary school teachers rapid expansion of
technical colleges and stressed the importance of
agricu1ture despite its flaws in statistic and
projections.
At the University Level, the work of the
Commission generated the establishment of two
new additional Universities (Lagos and Zaria)
opened in 1962. The Commission’s Report came
to be regarded as Nigeria’s education “bible”.
The Post-independent Era 1960 —87.
In 1961 the Banjo Commission recommended
that the Modern Schools in the Western Region
be converted to Junior Secondary Schools which
stressed shop practice commercial and business
practice and basic science These were the needs
of the Sixties; the JSS had flourished for a long
time in America and were being experimented
with in Liberia in 1961. In 1962, the First
National Development Plan was launched.
