This one is not a regulation but revenue generation. Pure lazy idiots.

All our engineers have failed, banks have failed, government has failed woefully. Look at how they are celebrating like slaves and yet they be shouting that a white man feels superior, why won't they when you ride on their invention without doing yours.

If Liberia was better, you wouldn't have gotten there in the first place.
So fix the problems and make a name for yourself.

Who are you to say he wouldn't have gotten there. Are you his maker.

You are a cretinous fuuktard!

Did you read the article?

Product of a failed education system, how many times did your repeat SSCE before you successfully got 5 credits?

Baboon mooorons want to talk, instead of learning.

E dey pain you. If you cannot read in between the lines, you can't get. Keep sucking. Summary of the article to help you a bit, As long as they are polythecnic, they remain different from a Uni. Moreover with the focus on UK, none of the Poly converts are in the top 50 in UK, which spells their difference largely after several years of conversion. Keep sucking.

Racism is not good whether it is perpetrated by white or black and should be condemned by all

My friend, condemn tribalism in Nigeria first. Then elevate yourself above what any other skin colour has achieved, then you will now be the one doing the racism act

JARUSHUB:
There has been a historic and general discrimination against Nigerian polytechnic graduates, obviously to the disheartenment, discomfort and chagrin of these graduates. To judge if polytechnic graduates are on par with University graduates, one needs to understand the fundamental difference and aims between both types of institutions. Universities are degree-awarding institutions created by the Nigerian government to focus on research work and train students on the theoretical reasons and logic behind a certain field, they offer mainly non-vocational subjects. As a university graduate, you are usually a pseudo-scholar.

Polytechnics on the other hand are diploma-awarding institutions created by the Nigerian government to focus on practical application of the theories of respective fields and some of the courses offered are in vocational subjects. As a polytechnic graduate, you are usually a professional technician. Outside Nigeria, some polytechnics are known to be heavily involved in research work as well as practical application, but to the best of my knowledge, I think the Nigerian education system is structured differently and the “Universities of Technology” (like FUTO, FUTA etc.) cover these research spaces, not the Polytechnics. In Nigeria, entry into Polytechnics usually requires a lower academic standard than entry into Universities. Furthermore the end product of a Polytechnic education, a diploma, is inferior in value to the end product of a University education, an academic degree. As a matter of fact, in the UK, the highest diploma awarded in a Polytechnic, a HND, will allow the recipient register for the 2nd year of a 3 year degree. This clearly states that the value is short of a degree.

The reality is that scholarly work is intellectually more stretching than practical applications. All these do not mean that the Polytechnic graduate is necessarily inferior or irrelevant; it just means their avenue is not the pinnacle of academic challenge. Neither does it mean all university graduates are better academically than all Polytechnic graduates. As a matter of fact, many countries in Europe like Germany have a system that kind of blends the 2 format together, i.e. students learn both the theory and the application over many years. That is why unlike the UK where students graduate at around 21, in Germany, students graduate at 25 years plus.


In a sane society, which Nigeria is not one, both graduates have their importance in helping to develop the economy and would fit right into the economic system and the rampant stupidity of making polytechnic graduates feel less human would not exist. Yes, a university degree is superior but practical application is important, what the government needs to do is stop this stupid discrimination plus also provide an avenue for poly-graduates (that choose) to progress over many years, whether through classroom-based teaching or practical application, to qualify for a degree-level certification to put them on par with university graduates. All the discriminatory bar on Poly-graduates from progressing to the peak in civil service must cease and be banned.

http://www.jarushub.com/sagamite-are-polytechnics-on-par-with-universities/

What are you trying to say. Your own government is stupid but the governments that placed associate degree and Full (Hons) degree at different level are wise abi. The problem with you all is that you are not ready to respect the laws of your land. You did not cry that entry requirements be made equal, but you are crying that benefits should be equal. Even in UK, there were polytechnics, and most of them had to convert to a university by meeting all statutory requirements and not by what is obtainable in the labour market.

If you do not understand read up the history of UK which we directly emulated.

A polytechnic is a poly while a university is a uni and are statutorily not the same, they were not established by no of years spent but rather the law and if you spend 4 years in poly it was your choice not the government because after your OND you graduated and you have the choice of progressing to university but instead you went for HND which is just a higher diploma but not a degree.

hotmum:
How do you handle a husband that after telling him his offenses to you, or when you have misunderstanding he keeps malice and starts eating outside.
I'm the type that can cry when explaining things so I sent him an SMS of what he did wrong.

Instead he kept malice and refused food.
I'm not the eating type and can't force myself to finish a pot of food. So this morning I asked if he would eat and he said No.
And later went out and has not come back.
Should I confront him about his eating out, and how?

From the above, you made it appear as if its just your husband that is the problem. Why did you avoid saying when you offend him and used the word "misunderstanding". So your own offence is misunderstanding while his own is simply offence. The way women always want to be pitied is something else.

I can only say something if I know the type of his offences, because sometimes women can just be something else. So give us at least 3 types of his offences that has made him eat outside even if we won't sanction the act of him eating outside.

Remember that the way you communicate could be a cause.

Let everyone obtain their access codes via online payment services and the stealing will be massively curbed. Anyone without internet access should kook for it anyways available. We can't be stagnant because some people have failed to grow. Why would you be travelling with cash as such as that to remit in Abuja, are there no banks in his location. Nonsense

Playforkeeps:
Why do people die so much in Nigeria? So tough out here man here man

Stop thinking your country to be that worst. Was in nit in America that there was a shoot that killed about 17 and injured over 50 in a school. There are deaths everywhere but causes may be different.

haywire07:
Phone wey she suppose just free and save her life. Now her boobs has been deflated .


See doctors dey use phone torchlight take treat patient, how will she survive?
And d reporter dey record as she "slowly died" . Was the recording meant for her family to watch their daughter dying or...?

Be sensitive as she never knew that there will be a knife involved.

he didn't promote it during the tenure of OBJ,but during the tenure of yaradua.

Even if we do all wat the op says,the naira will still lose value against the us dollar cause of our weak economy.

Ghana did it,and it has not really change anything

Brazil did it and got it right in about 7th attempt. If you redecimalize, you must ensure that local production increased massively and dependence on foreign products and loan reduce to the minimum.

gidgiddy:
Listen, you Yorubas should stop talking nonsense. It is not possible to hold public officers accountable in a backward country like Nigeria. How do you hold a President or Governor, who has the power of immunity, accountable in Nigeria? How do you hold a local govt chairman who has all the money and apparatus of the local govt at his disposal, accountable in Nigeria? Not possible

The only way to hold politicians accountable in Nigeria is by the power of vites and votes rarely count in Nigeria. INEC is for sale and the elections in Nigeria are just a competition in rigging which is why it is very difficult to dislodge an incumbent. A good example of this is a Governor who won in all 21 local Governments of Anambra state by a wide margin, even local governments that were the strongholds of others. Clear case of rigging

Nigeria is a hopeless entity and thats why these peoole seek an independent nation anchored on checks and balances so they can finally hold leaders accountable. Thst one cannot be done in Nigeria

It is hopeless because most of you and your likes lack any form of idea. You are busy making a complacent statement and running away from responsibility. When you are ready you will start with the first and not the last.

gidgiddy:
It is not possible to hold public office holders accountable in Nigeria. Nigeria is not structured that way. You Yorubas voted Buhari, have you managed to hold him accountable?

You better wake up and stop talking trash. Look at the person blaming a government and he is here saying it is difficult to hold a government accountable. Then what are you? Anyway I won't say a hopeless being. You are voting idiots in your region and you are talking about another.

bgwin2016:
Incompetent government always giving excuses for all their failures.

Tell me, is it only the federal government we have in this country. What they said is a fact. Lazy peep

DANDONdGreat:
One thing i respect these people for is their COURAGEOUS & DETERMINED SPIRIT. Sincerely speaking nothing on earth can stop a DETERMINED MIND... Not even death can stop it. I wish them best of luck in their strugle as long as their remain PEACEFUL

Their determination is simply a misplaced priority as far as I'm concerned. Let them hold their regional political leaders accountable first.

zionmde:
they are not gathering for any political reason or for money. they are risking their lives for the sake of the country they believe in. Wen an Igbo man sets his heart on something he rarely gives up.

My guy start by holding your local government chairmen, counsellors, State Governors, state house assembly reps ,commissioners at your door step accountable, then we will believe you that you have something to replicate at the National level, otherwise you all should stop been lousy. Risk your life first for the one at your door step.

Don't you have a plan for your life. Everything depends in who you are and your networking skills. You are here asking people to tell you what they would do so you can get confused. Your problem is not knowing what to do but you are afraid of the consequences of your action. My friend take any step in line with your plan for your life and live with the consequence either good or bad

Lower denomination is practically useless, why won't it be scarce?

Can't remember the last time I saw 5 naira.

Those notes are not useless rather Nigerians are greedy and senseless

As much as I support local production, I love to admit that it is impossible in a short time, and will probably remain low even in the the long run. This is because the use of foreign products in Nigeria is not because there are no Nigerian counterparts, it's just an inferior mentality that foreign are better.
The government itself has not been helping matters. It's about making policies only, it's by leading by example. We have Innoson motors, how many top government officials has purchased one of them? We have local rice in some states, I can bet some of their governors have never tasted them. All these will not encourage local production.

On the exchange rate issue, if we're to produce locally now, we'll either have to import some of the necessary inputs or process some of the outside the shores of the country. Due to the high exchange rate, at the end of production the prices of the products are almost equal with ones imported. I can bet even you will purchase the imported ones in this case. I met a guy last week who was advertising bow ties he made to me for N700. The imported one of the same quality costs about N1,300 with cufflings, and this small suit napkin. Which do you think I'll go for?

In a nutshell, you have spoken the truth, but the exchange rate matters a lot to a developing country.

Our perception and refusal to be world class through works is a major challenge as well. Nigerians sill have issues with some foreign products because they are not sure of the quality.
I want to believe that if it works for the foreign countries it will for us too, if we take absolutely safety measures in what we do. I'm sure that innoson motors has no Research & development and even if they have its just an office. Without showcasing of works and testing no one we believe a product and their will be no faith

debolayinka:
Okay, no vex. 1 Dollar should be worth N5,000 very soon then.

Except we take charge of our lives through local production of items we will keep cosmecting the economy expecting the exchange rate to determine our future. When we have high exportation and less of imports exchange rate will drop as we will have dollar chasing our currency. Not this syringe injection that cannot last.

Here are more determining factors that are not far-fetched
Inflation Rates. Changes in market inflation cause changes in currency exchange rates. ...
Interest Rates. Changes in interest rate affect currency value and dollar exchange rate. ...
Country's Current Account / Balance of Payments. ...
Government Debt. ...
Terms of Trade. ...
Political Stability & Performance. ...
Speculation

Let us build a working economy and not a cosmetic one like we have since time immemorial

debolayinka:
Nice one! Let's hope it helps reduce exchange rate soon.

That's what all of you like. COSMETIC ECONOMY.

But a properly fried meat has a duration of 24 hours and even more b4 it get spoiled.

It could have stayed more than 24 hours. Have you ever experienced the laziness of civil servants. Their rottenness is beyond a reasonable imagination. Improper storage could make it worst.

OfemGeomorph:
This Ifere of a guy is doing everything humanly possible to pent Ayade black, from Uyo to Odukpani is just 30-40 minute drive so tell me how will fried meat get spoiled before getting to Odukpani, Akamkpa and Yakkur the neighboring L.G.A.s.
Is it not his brother ( Sen. Leyel Imoke) that reeked Cross River, bringing down the good work of our amiable and futuristic Donald Duke.

Only the paupers complain about this government.... Biter truth

Pauper!!! Obviously you have a pauper mind. And it is only people with Pauper mindset that has been ridiculing this country. They are self centered, and covetous which makes them steal so they can live a luxury life alone while lives average and in abject poverty.

autojosh:
This 1976 Mercedes Benz 300D was spotted in Lagos. Surprisingly, everyone could not keep their eyes off it saying all they could remember about it..

It reminded some about that rich kid in their school who made them feel intimidated because their dad had a Benz. Some argued the car's nickname was Shagari while some said it was called Murtala (what name did you call it back then?)

The argument got more intense as some said the owner must have gotten it for more than N10m and some others said it shouldn't have been more than 200k.

Tell us how much you think these relatively old cars are worth like Dino Melaye's 1965 Benz 190 and Governor Fayose's 1957 Benz 220?

How much will you pay for them?

Let's hear your opinion in the comment section.

https://autojosh.com/1976-mercedes-benz/

It's not a modern car though vintage, but does not worth it for that amount
