ok Thanks

For those I've worked with who had similar issues, I simply attached a copy of the affidavit while faxing the degree to WES with a little background explanation.

oga how many liberian have you seen hustling for the canadian pr , check the website and let me know the percentage of them. all i want to let you know is that same naija education has gotten me jobs around the world , if you think its trash you can let IRCC know of that and return back to nigeria not just because the system is not well organised does not mean it is trash.

Guys free this Nigerian Education argument abeg.

If you love it so much, send your kids to Nigerian schools...There's nothing stopping you really: They can stay with relatives or/and be in boarding house etc.

My personal opinion here sha (I schooled both in Nigeria and abroad: BEng in Nigeria then I went to the UK to start over: MEng before switching to MSc after the first year). I can almost assure you that my first year of MEng (MEng is a 4 year undergraduate program in the UK), I learnt a lot more than my 5 years in Nigeria. This is personal and in no way general.

of all these supposed "sharpness", if Nigeria was wiped out from the worlds map; I assure you that no one, absolutely no one would feel affected. Of the whole sharpness and smartness, what do you have to show for it, what has been invented, created etc. It was in the UK I realised that professors/doctors are first researchers (primary occupation) before being lecturers.

Nigerians may be intelligent but it's a stupid argument because in this modern age, your intelligence as an individual matters very little. Instead, it's your ability to collaborate with others, work collectively (this is something Nigerians lack) and thinking of the bigger picture.



Absolutely!you have made a good point.Nigerian education teaches mostly theory,We are intelligent people but what about practical? What about being functional in your work environment? What about confidence? most graduates from Nigeria are unemployable...This is mostly because of the system.
Interview skills Nkor?These things are taught in the west before you even get into the real world.

Please can we end bullying boss13? This is cyberbullying and it's not right. He made a suggestion which didn't fly, Do we still have to overflog it? For all you know he may have a useful post for us but at this rate, he would not post it. Please let's end it. Thanks.

Really? Why? My SIL used a midwife for her two kids and didn't have issues. Also the midwifery is attached to a hospital close by and if the delivery escalates beyond their control you are taken to the hospital.

It doesn't always turn out like that.Its just advisable because when you have your first child you get to know more about your body and how your delivery turns out.Im aware of being taken to the hospital in emergency situations.We don't pray for things to happen, I was only sharing what I have always known.What if it's something that needs urgent help?

Wellmanned:
Oh i see, not a fan of midwife but maybe I should give it a consideration. Thanks

She has a strong personality...I do not see any wrong in what she did.but what do I know ...


While I respect your opinion , yet again I am stating that the bolded already addresses that area of your concern.

Have you thought that the man can ask the woman to take the key and drive ? But one person has to lead, even a pack of wolves is not led by 2 it never works.
This clearly shows my position , I wonder why people intentionally choose to twist my position.
The man is the head of the home but from this statement you'd see that the wife is welcome to take initiatives too. This concept is learned over a lifetime for many and at times never learned for some so I won't expect that it'd be so easy for you to comprehend if you haven't already.

I have decided not to comment on this again but you have forced me now, let me explain something. Now A man his wife and 2 kids, an armed robber comes into the house and their is gun that the family can use to defend themselves and a place to hide for 2 people .

Which 3 people do you think will hide ? The wife and the 2 kids
Which person do you think will carry the gun and face the robber ? The man, he will put his life down for his family.

Now we have a situation where some one must carry the pregnancy while someone must wait and pray eagerly for safe delivery , who does what here ? The wife carries the pregnancy (An heroic thing and grossly underrated feat in this part of the world)

Now from my analogies you will see that the man and the woman are not equal but rather unique in their differences. The inability of western countries to acknowledge this uniqueness and accomodate it is responsible for the dysfunctionality of marriages over there.
For all their education and exposure marriages hard last 2 years and this should tell you there is something wrong somewhere, I am not saying the African approach is entirely perfect but the foundation has to be well laid to prevent problems.

Lastly, I will tell you something that should drive this home, this happened with my former babe and this was one of the major pointers for me that made me run. We were both travelling - a public transport, so what happened the car broke down in the middle of the road and the driver needed to give us part of the money we paid so we can board another vehicle to our final destination.

So lets just say we paid 10 naira and the journey had only gone 50% so technically the man was supposed to give us 5 naira right ? Well I told my bae to wait for me in the car, I went to meet the driver and after some back and forth the driver gave me 3 naira, I protested but I didnt get ahead so I came back to her and told her I got 3 naira and altho it was not fair we could just overlook the 2 naira.

My bae became irate went to meet the driver and got into a fit or rage long story short she succesfully retrieved 2 naira and came back to me grinning from ear to ear with a sense of accomplishment visibly written on her face. That moment I knew I had made a mistake being with her.
Why ? (Please note I paid for the journey 100%).

1. The rage and anger displayed was something I had never seen in her, I could never have imagined she was capable of such.
2. The audacity to go and re-negotiate with the driver was not only insensitive to me but showed a lack of respect for my judgement.
3. The reason I choose to allow the driver get away with the 2 naira was because I felt this illiterate drivers sometimes could be violent and dangerous and there was not point risking my life over 2 naira - now her decision to proceed to wrestle for the rest of the money to me showed a lack of proper orientation in value system.

So I had to type this much to put some things in perspective for you, like I said earlier relationship issues are quite tricky and this event I narrated was only the last straw the broke the camels back as I had seen some traces of this kind of behaviour at some time earlier.
