Politics goes beyond under or over education, more of an individual's willpower to do the right thing

True! But education (both formal and informal) is the only tool known to man to develop character and willpower.

However, Nigerians and Nigerian education generally defies this rule of thumb!

Again, as a characteristic, most Nigerians who wear the most expensive wrist-watches attend functions late. They arrive flaunting the goddamn wrist-watches to show-off. I'm suggesting that anybody with expensive wrist-watch who arrives late for a function should have his/her wrist-watch seized.

LWKMD!!!!!

ok. one more question. i was told i cant sit for exams in my first year?

seunallday:
yea, no exams until 12 months time

Bowlue:
not nice, anyways tanx

Truth is, you are not yet seen as a professional, but as a glorified messenger for the first year - You are a 'ball boy' for the pros on the pitch. That's why you can't seat an exam yet!

After they use you like 'rain water' in the first year, then you can start writing professional exams, and must pass within a specified period, otherwise you're shown the door.

All the big boys/gals you see in audit firms went through that rite-of-passage.

@susexx,

It doesnt sound somehow. The embassy is in my office. The consular also doubles as an employee in my office. Let me give you an instance. Do you know where dannish embassy is? it is at louis solomon; maersk house, and shares office with safmarine etc.

Our culture tend to support corruption because families, friends and society at large seems to say it most of the time: "is it not the same engineering you and 'so and so' are into? He has buit 3 estates, sent his children to school abroad and has buit a mansion in the village; but yiou are still struggling to build one bungallow in preparation for your retirement?

We have all lived by this from generations immemorial or 'no be the pikin wey bring money come him mama go praise' again?

@ OP

This story is disheartening!

come to alakuko police station from 4pm there is a joint inside the station where sepe is displayed for sale, the most annoying part is that the display is not hidden; just after the entrance gate.

I wonder why Seun should be allowing dubious replies on IMPORTANT thread on NL, I think I have been  visiting NL for a good number of years now and find out that people all over the world visit this site on daily basis but I still wonder why people have been blackmailing the VERY country there are from, I don't understand,  I will suggest That Seun should tell these people to go to Jokes page of NL to comments and write whatever they want to.

Someone mentioned Lawyers? Don't let me crack my ribs laughing abeg.

Please get the stereotypical 'charge and bail' lawyer off your mind - E.g. Mr. Gbenga Oyebode and his team of lawyers made millions of $$$ from a 5-room commercial law firm at Obalende (15 yrs ago) and he bought into Access Bank where he's presently Chairman.

@ OP
This thread exposes the root of Nigeria's problems - We have lost our bearing.

Like a public service radio announcement that filled the air and our minds when I grew up in Nigeria, "There Is Dignity In Labour!"

Jonathan is just clueless. I remember some years ago, we (ISPs and Telecoms) were invited by the NSA and the SSS to discuss Lawful Interception, vendors such as Siemens, Alcatel and Ericsson were also there with the IG (Ehindero) and other Service Chiefs. The SSS director spoke about how the system will effectively checkmate kidnapping ( Scary Fellow - Kayode Are) and how unsecure the networks of the GSM companies were. Siemens conceeded that Ericsson have expertise in the area, Ericsson made their representation saying that most of the facilities exist in the equipment being used by the Telcos and they just need to activate it (pay Kudi), the only bone of contention was who will pay for the transmission to the two controlling centers (Abuja and Lagos). ISPs were to intercept traffic as well based on certain criteria, the system was meant to be a pre-emptive one to nab criminals before they act. The legal framework was pursued and I believe (not certain) that the National Assembly passed a law on this. The man who was the arrow head for this initiative and who made sure that everybody was carried along was the National Security Adviser by the name of Gusau.
Jonathan has in his cabinet a man who can help solve this kidnapping problem; now is Gusau sabotaging Jonathan's effort (siddon look posture) or is Jonathan's default setting on his browser Facebook?

In spite of the good work by NDLEA, some folks, Nigerians and foreigners alike, are bent on making Nigeria a major transit point.
