Why scared of the vice presidential candidate?
If you are scare of shetima you are on long thing o

Moh247:




Yep, Shetima would deal ruthlessly with all enemies of Nigeria


He is not Osinbajo that keeps shut while his people get disrespeted like an ice cream seller


Shetima would never turn to an Houseboy or mere commissioner because of some yeye Cabal,

*Shetima, got Bsc in Agric Econs UniMad
*Masters in University of Ibadan
*Has 1 wife and 3 children who are all educated
*Retired as a Banking Director in ZenithBank
*8years Governor, appointing Ibos and christian in his cabinet, building and rehabilitating schools even when Boko Haram where disturbing

in the mind if Southern Bigots, all Muslims are terrorist, all Northerners are Almajiri and uneducated, everyone should laugh at you like an idiot

Shut up and face your thread please.

Originalsly:
On point. I'm more concerned about our higher institutions of learning that do not know their main purpose .... innovation. Of the thousandsss of graduates..... what innovation has they come up with to solve a problem or make it less problematic? The one for technology be boasting and people showering them with praise for engineering a 20th century stage one robot when the world is at stage 15 in the 21st century.

I just hope a new government comes to power to lay the foundation for 21st century education.

I think you should read this and realize that you are not even half-way to thinking how badly or better our system can be.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/09/10-reasons-why-finlands-education-system-is-the-best-in-the-world

before then someone or somewhere i had heard of how in the Finnish university system, you dont really study courses. You are an engineer, they give you a problem to solve. You use your four years learning/reading/understanding/practicing things that would give you total understanding/solution to that problem. It reminds me where people say, more than half of the things we learn in the university, we dont use them... (in their school system - you wish, also as a computer scientist, you wish more)... Or maybe this is hearsay, but their system far outclasses UK/US ed systems. They are the brothers to Norway who turned their below sea-level living area to a place where they can use the flood for swimming pool when it comes (joking but they solved flooding in an extra-ordinary way). Cheers.

JAGS001:
Lecturers in Nigeria won't have reason to collect rice and prices for catching exam malpractice if that is introduced and it pain the werey lecturers because deep down I want this kind of exam

boluwatife122:
But what applied question did you expect a lecturer that was brought up with the same system That's aw dey are also taught and datz wot they are giving out... there should be a complete overhaul of the system because you are very right... education in Nigeria is just a waste of time and money, imagine I will finish exam now and will hardly remember what I read the next day...don't blame the lecturers,they are also brought up by the system

kkins25:
It sha depends on the course of study. I read biology, and to be honest, i can't come and say i can't apply what i learnt.

HomeTutorsPro:
Recently, there have been claims and counterclaims of the suitability or otherwise of presidential candidates of the different political parties in Nigeria.
Exhibited, perceived and sometimes concocted inadequacies and alleged inadequacies have been the hinges of personality attacks, especially in the social media space.
Critically examine the implications of the aforementioned cases on the buildup, conduct and consequence of the 2023 presidential election, identify its possible impact on the overall democratic system and suggest solutions that could be applied to reestablish democratic fluidity in Nigeria.

I so much stan these submissions OP!!!
I wish I can make a voicenote rn
These are what I've been shouting about in my department since 2019.
Like someone said up there, the only courses that I find enjoyable and passed well are the practice-able courses, the rest are a disaster.
I'm not sure of a positive reception if you show the so-called professors of educations these out of the box submissions because I've realized that they are not open to new ideas, COVID virtual classes exposed them.


I'm wiling to volunteer in promoting this idea (if there are plans for that)

onuman:
Some people will abuse you for not adding Arabic language and Islamic studies at the early stage.

sammirano:
Two answers can be same even for real-life based questions you don't have the monopoly of ideas

Czartrips:
First lecturers and teachers should do their job well. Do u think what they do in most schools are teaching?. Some lecturers don't even know what they are teaching how can a prof of mathematics tells me 4x+x²= 5x²

Delicious22:
look at this illiterate urchin, what do you know.

edward1106:
If you're on Twitter, or Facebook, post it and tag the ministry of Education.

Nko1:
Yes

festacman:
As two strong men greet, fear catch hypocritical Victor Umeh as he hides and peeps from behind Peter Obi.

Prof. Soludo is an intellectual that abhors bullying. Once you impose herd mentality like supporters of Peter Obi are doing, intellectualism becomes diminished as nobody is allowed to interrogate and differ from the popular opinion. Democracy is about interest and choice. It's about freedom of expression. Democracy abhors mob dictatorship.

Historically, Peter Obi and Soludo have never worked together as they have always belonged to opposing political camps. In the just concluded Anambra State election, Peter Obi supported pliable Val Ozigbo against Soludo after ditching Godwin Maduka who was given false hope and spent heavily to fund PDP. So, tell me what has changed.

By the way, as far as he delivers on his promises, which he is gradually doing in spite of security challenges, Soludo will beat Peter Obi's boy Valentine Ozigbo blue and black for his 2nd term.

Thattallgirl:
I meant examination actually which also results in grading. I don't believe pre-primary pupils should be "tested" in examinations or tests which will definitely lead to grading.

I support what you said about grading "A, B, C ...etc" but from primary school upward. I don't support class positioning either in any level of education.

HarlequinLekex:
It is due to laziness breeding and harvesting among the youths.

Thattallgirl:
Hi! I don't agree with testing pre-primary pupils or grading them. At that stage, what they need is to be exposed to several knowledge and skills for their age but not to be graded or tested. Yea they can have classwork but not to be graded.

I agree a little on senior secondary education but I'd add primary and junior secondary school too. There are some subjects that require the students to give answers based on what was taught or in the textbook...like mathematics or languages or other subjects but I get your point. Your point is that for some subjects probably like government or history or some other ones that have to do with definitions or stories or discussions, students should be able to give answers in their own words (of course it has to be also correct) and not the exact words written in the textbook.

For higher institutions, I completely agree. I was also given "German questions" in the university to fill in the gaps and to write exactly what was written in our books or when the lecturers dictated. And yea, imagine lecturers dictating notes or writing on the board in the university lol. I don't even like teachers dictating notes in secondary school or writing on the board as I see it as a waste of teaching time, not to talk of university. Problem solving questions? Yea I agree and I believe practical is almost dead in our education system both in primary and secondary school as well as university. All we know is theory and "la cram la pour".

Thanks for this info, I ventured into it last year and hopping to start cashing out in 5yrs time .

LordIsaac:
I know universities that set applied questions. Stop generalising.

Karen2024:
I've been living with my maternal aunty and her husband for over two months now and I can testify that the family is good; no quarels; no disagreements and no any form of fight.

My aunty's husband is kind and gentle likewise his wife and they both treat me with care but what disturbs me is that i suspect my aunty is cheating. Whenever my uncle travels she brings in a man and tells me that this is her brother..she would usher him into the bedroom and they'd spend good time with before coming out. The man has never visited when her husband is around.

I don't want to reveal it as she'll see it as act of betrayal but i want her husband to know. How do I go about it?

LordIsaac:
Pay Nigerian lecturers well and they will churn out "productive graduates." Simple!

LordIsaac:
The so-called "morons", especially the ones that graduated with First Class, are not just admitted for direct PhD abroad, but they are also breaking records over there.

LordIsaac:
It will come when lecturers are paid well. Who will assess such rigorous tasks and be paid peanuts!

LagosIsForIgbos:
I agree with the OP on this. When I was teaching a school, I looked at the scheme of work for primary pupils, and I was like "all these shit in the head of a child?" No wonder schools nowadays churn out shitty children with shitty certificate and a shitty orientation of life and principles.

We need to go back to the African way of learning: Skills acquisition with general life principles. This Western education system no follow.

You'll see big private schools boasting with foreign curriculum such as "British- Montessori" "Chinese- American" British- American"

Aaaaaaaaahhhh! For small pikin brain again?

Using boasting to be ripping stupid parents off, turning bright and intelligent kids to zombies and impacting half baked and trashy knowledge. Issue them certificates and smiling taking photographs on "graduation day". What nonsense graduation? Graduating to where? Them dey graduate from life issues? Them dey graduate from problem solving?

OP, if I tell you more, I fit scatter this thread.

Hadassahly:
Good submissions OP. Especially, in the tertiary education stage.


Graduating from the higher institution with no idea of how to apply your course of study to real life situation is such a waste of time and money
The courses I really enjoyed and passed well in school were the practical and applicable ones. For instance, this course where we had paternity dispute case studies, or the one we learnt about genetic modification or the one where we learnt about population nutrition and designing healthy nutrition plan. Totally enjoyable courses. These were courses that could give a student a sense of career direction but sadly, they didn't come until final year.

Sad when I see students of really practicable courses oblivious of the ways they can maximize their knowledge, even as students. For instance, imagine a student of International Relations or something that has to do with people, who doesn't like attending conferences and formal events or has no idea he should be actively involved in organizations like AIESEC and others that will build their diplomacy skills and give them experience and exposure. But you can't totally blame them, they are just victims of a system that hasn't exposed their minds to reality.


That's why the advice for young people to study relevant and in-demand courses is good but not enough, people have to learn to use their knowledge for the real world.
I'll give it up for a UI lecturer who made it essential for many of his students to watch the just concluded Kadaria Ahmed's Presidential Debate. Some of them felt he was being extra but boyy, if only they knew how he was helping them.

So, true, higher institutions have to include practicality to their courses, right from year one to final year. Not that scam of final year project More platforms for students to gain experience and be able to offer value to organizations and the society even as fresh graduates. Also, students have to be intentional about adding values to themselves, thank goodness the internet is now there.

No, we all don't have to be techies but we all can be innovative in whatever field we have chosen or "gotten".
