Vinnie2000:
Wow!.

I was told in the 1980's, there were a lot of Foreigners as Teachers in Nigeria. Even Indians as Teachers in secondary Schools. smiley

But they Left. sad
Now, in the 2020s, the teachers in Nigeria are mostly Youth Corpers who paid someone else to pass their exam for them.

3.) Why do you keep referring to yourself as we? Am I talking to more than 1 person here or are you like "the Horde"?


This is a non-sequitur. What is all this? LatinLand? Did you mean culture of ancient Rome? Huh?
Latin is a dead language. And because we can't travel back in time, we learn to understand it the best way possible but also understand that our knowledge will be incomplete. Learning Latin also helps with reading works/texts in the original Latin instead of through the bias of someone else's translation, which we had to do. Also helps in understanding the Romance Languages.

In your attempt to be a smartass, you made yourself sound ignant. Well done, you are walking firmly on Bemeruca ground.
Basilico has responded adequately to yours above, but I'm certain you'd ignore what is implied as you do, and just infer whatever suits you.

basilico:
You are still trying to show one has to have lived under Ceaser to know how Romans lived. Disgraceful.

I'm glad you read books, but you seem to put that above other forms of information. When you get sick do you pull out a book to diagnose yourself or do you go to a doctor? Me, I go to a doctor...
I'm surprised you don't call your boys when you are sick. Do you also take the posts you read on Nairaland to your boys too so they can explain what you read to you too? If not, perhaps you should.

As to which form of information gathering one may value more than any others, buda is here contesting your claim which was, "one doesn't know US culture because one doesn't live there", and the stupid evidence for your silly claim which is Bemeruca, of all the stupid idiots on this planet.

buda is satisfied rubbing the quality of her argument in your face for you to learn what buda knows or not, and finds it interesting that you never bothered to send your boys or visit Latinland to learn its culture.

Konquest:
All of the Ghanaian teachers that taught me were NOT affected by the 1983 expulsions. It's majorly those who came into Nigeria without proper work permits that got expelled. All the other expats from the UK, USA, Jamaica, India, Bangladesh, and several countries who came work and to become teachers and lecturers in Nigeria were NO affected.
Ghanaians began leaving from when Shagari came to power in 1979, and I began losing teachers from then on. What worsened it was free education was introduced in the old Western Region area at the same time, and without proper preparation, the few teachers left had to be shared with newer schools which further exacerbated the teacher shortage.

Nigeria is big, so not everyone must have necessarily had the same experience or at the same time.

Budaatum, this is the point I've been making. Bemeruca has so little understating of US culture and is so out of touch with it, he doesn't even know how patently asinine and ridiculous sounding what he wrote is. And he wouldn't know if I didn't make fun of him for it.
Is it your point that buda is stupid idiot like Bemeruca?

If so, stop with the bush beating and boldly say so instead of making out you got some rule that says, buda does as bemeruca does.

Tell me how could you possibly research the culture of a place without speaking to someone who works there? Maybe you don't understand what culture is.
No Ijebosb. buda has never ever had the privilege to speak to an American. Thankfully, you came along. With your culture. Having lived in US.

ijebosb:
Ding Ding Ding. So, you do get it. But you're spinning so rapidly you don't even understand what you are saying. If my boys include their own bias and ignorance, how can you understand US culture just by reading books with their own biases and ignorances attached?
Ijebosb, we read many books. Books that agree with our view, and books that disagree with our view, so we get different perspectives and opinions. That's how we avoid other peoples bias and ignorance. And even before that we spend years reading lots of books just to develop our own reading abilities and our understanding abilities so we can minimise.our own biases getting in the way of our understanding. After all, its not as if we are uneducated idiots who just believe what is written in a book or whatever crap we create in our head now are we?

Personally, I wonder about you. Did you not learn Latin? Did you go to Latinland for your understanding of the culture or did you ask one of your boys for that?
Politics › Re: The Untold History Of Ghana Must Go In 1983 by budaatum: 2:00am On Jun 18, 2024
The event ruined the Nigerian education system that at the time relied on science and maths teachers from Ghana.

Upon their expulsion many of us lost some very good teachers. It hurt.

ijebosb:
As I said it's ur ego not allowing you to believe that you aren't the end all and be all of knowledge.
I don't need to believe that I am not the end of all knowledge! Knowledge is far too massively big for even the massive buda ego to know it all, so don't be telling me not to believe what I never told you I believed please.

ijebosb:
I crossed that bridge a while ago. You seem to be stuck on it.
No you didn't crossed that bridge.

ijebosb:
But back to you what you wrote. I didn't want to say this as I was sparing your ego, but it is a uniquely Nigerian thing for people who know little of a topic to try to lecture others who know more, on it. It's always embarrassing and cringeworthy when it I see it. It's frustrating and exhausting and it's what you do here sometimes.
First, I am not lecturing you. I don't come on nairaland looking for people to lecture. Most of us come here to exchange our views and opinions with others who have views and opinions that may agree or differs to ours, and we learn pretty early not to assume arrogance of any knowledge because we would surely hit one who knows more. Such people, however, prove their point with the evidence they provide and by the quality of their argument, and I am telling you that claiming "you don't live here" as the basis of an argument is no different to "I am older than you, or I am wealthier than you or went to a better school than you went or speak better english than you speak or you are a man and I am a woman or you white and got tacticals so I must shut the fuq up.

That shit just ain't liberal!

ijebosb:
Now, my goal in life is to get as complete information as quickly as possible. And of course the goal is finding the right source. Now if I wanted to understand how a Tesla engine works I could spend hours/days googling it, or I could call up a head Tesla engineer for information. Which would be preferable?
You will call up Tesla engineer for the culture of Tesla because you haven't got the time and patience to diligently research the culture of Tesla yourself, so therefore, buda too also must call up the Tesla engineer?

ijebosb:
So, I guess it boils down to 1.) ego, can you acknowledge that you aren't the end all and be all of information.
buda hereby acknowledges that buda is not the end all and be all of information, and nor has buda ever claimed buda was or is the end all and be of all information.

And fir your information, i have found this tk be the basus of most argument that i get in to, and its usually with small ego people who feel threatened by the ego of others. They are easily recognised by how they adorn themselves with the trinkets of their car or living or their earnings or harvard or they lived their longer. I call it the Nigerian "Who got the bigger diq". And its not a game I play.

ijebosb:
And 2.) do you have a circle such that you can reach out to people and get proper information/perspective.
I have got you, Ijebosb, every day in my circle, at least as far as US is concerned and the facts go. And when you present facts, I often read them, and sometimes I like and share them, but this is not about facts, but about your opinion of the facts, as in your subjective view of things, and don't you think its silly to claim your subjective opinion is far superior because you live in a place?

Besides, its not like I am asking anyone to interpret what I see for me now do I, or don't you know how big buda's ego is? For reference, Eve freed herself from slavery in Eden where she was being kept naked and ignorant, but I guess you'd rather ask your boys.

ijebosb:
If you had my boys, you'd want to call them too. Lol.
Just listen to yourself. Boasting about your boys without seeing how you've gone from bothering to visit to just asking your boys.

No matter how many boys you may have, how the fuq can they possibly explain the culture of anywhere to you without including their own biases and ignorance in what they tell you? Or don't you mind?

Still, good for you. I will not call any boys to tell me the culture of anywhere, Ijebosb, even if they live there, because my boys don't have the time, and I have the ability to research myself from many sides and angles over many centuries they can't possibly tell me about.

In that story, Ijebos, i guess I should have pulled rank and said I was born there and should know better than them. But despite that being only sIx months of living there, I'd already learnt what happened to ajebutas who pulled rank, especially when they argue God said in a language they can't speak in a book they haven't read.

You can understand it to a degree, but I'm sure visiting it would enhance your understanding.
Visiting might "enhance your understanding", but I'd only need to observe people who've visited Disney or who live in US all their lives and only understand US to a degree that I would argue is nearer to zero to disabuse myself of that stupid illogical thought, don't you think?

IjeBos:
I visited France in high school to better understand the culture just so I could speak better French.
That's you. I've visited France a number of times, but mostly, I read lots of French history and philosophy, not to learn dates or remember names, but to understand how its culture developed so I can better understand its culture today. But I guess we'd need to accept your degree is better because you visited and speak French.

IjeBos:
I'm Nigerian, spend a good amount of time in Nigeria, but understand my knowledge about it is incomplete as I don't actively live there.
Dude. It must be very difficult for you to accept that there are people who have lived all their lives in Nigeria who don't even know Nigeria has cultures not to speak of understand what those cultures are and how they interact and affect each other. In fact, I'm rather surprised that despite your "spend a good amount of time in Nigeria", you don't seem to know it is Nigerian culture for some dumb fuq who knows very little to stand in your face and say you know fuq.

Perhaps your "spend a good amount of time in Nigeria" taught you little I guess.

IjeBos:
So, when I want to understand something better esp. about the culture, I call my boys there. I'm ok acknowledging that. Why is this something that is even in discussion? It's a truism.
I like Nairaland for one thing, Ije. Its fruitiness is divine. Not even, "Call Harvard there"?

Me, I don't "call my boys there". I get off my ass and do my research with the sweat off my own brow is what I do. There's books afterall, and though much less these days, they have been my daily bread, still its far more than most get from living there not to talk of just visit I'd have thought, especially since one can't exactly visit or send ones boys to the Estates General of 1789 or the Battle of Tours/Poitiers to find out for one. Or does one not need to learn such knowledge to understand French culture, I wonder.

Its the buda ego you see. First, it arrogantly doesn't trust that boys would do the work to make sure their eyes work like buda's do. And boys got better things to do than just feed buda their own understanding of anything not to talk of a culture of an entire nation. That, Ijebos, is buda's egotistically self chosen truism. And we are discussing it because you'd rather buda accept your truism which buda obviously doesn't because it is flawed logic, and is like a professor in Harvard arguing their understanding is superior "because my tenure is longer".

"Call your boys", lol!

But I think you are more knowledgeable about the United States compared and this is not a joke. I would rather discuss the United States with you rather than an emotional child who accused you of being emotional as he complains you are talking with the likes of basilico 😂
I gladly accept your insult, you don't need to apologise. To earn such an insult, one must have eaten many fruits of knowledge, and I confess they are my favourite fruits, so to say it stinks of me is more a factual insult if anything.

Its like when some call me weird or claim I have an ego, both which are factually true insults too. Just that if you are capable of making such a factual observation, I can't help feel that you are capable of reasoning rationally if you tried.

As you know, I don't mind discussing with anyone regardless their beliefs, so long as they bring their brain to the table. In fact, I absolutely enjoy discussing with individuals who bring their brain to the table because it helps me consider what I myself may believe. I don't waste much time though with rather lazy "maths is racist" or "you don't live here" logic, because that's just brain dumbness. I don't need to live in Israel or Palestine, nor does my tax need to be spent their for me to call out the Apartheid and Holocaust being imposed on Palestinians, and not doing so is just ignorantly stupid and idiotically racist regardless where one lives.
