debosky:

Is Caracta single or taken?

Wooooooooooooooooh!!! Yes! It worked!

Haba debosky. This is not how to treat a sister.

I think i should start a blog and post fabricated stories there. Nigerians sha. Anything for traffic.

Make we continue reading on that link abi? Na textbook?

Three7Ty9: Oh Cara,

What?

Truckpusher: That's not true ,maybe a farm with the worst set of fruits one can think of? yes.

Besides I've been banned for life from romance section,I hope you're happy now.

Whoops! Of all places to get a life ban, romance section? At your age? Ewwwww!

Truckpusher: What do you mean I'm in the right place?

The romance section is a farm.

Three7Ty9: Oh, I totally forgot, you are a mathematician remember?....

Meanie!

Truckpusher: I have always wanted to be a farmer,own a big land with all kinds of animals under my care.



[s]But I think I'm just fine pushing these trucks[/s].

You are in the right place.

Three7Ty9: Then you turned out an Economist with excellent Writing skills

Oh well. My Oliver Twist yearns for more

Is debosky still on NL?

Wolison: Rubbish!!....how does that help to contain the widespread of this Ebola?....instead of putting every mechanism in place to fashion out a way to tackle it (Ebola) medically, they re busy engineering an antediluvian ideas and technics!

At least, they are doing something. Learn to appreciate little things. Do you expect them to take up the responsibility of the government? Tackle what medically? Are they now doctors or members of WHO? Common sense sha...

I wanted to be a Pilot, a presenter, a lawyer and a CEO.

Oh well...

My darling friend. Happy birthday to you. Love you to the moon and back. You are indeed a rare gem


Cheers!

sholay2011: RIP to the sharp-mouthed comedienne.

Some of her crude jokes that I can remember:

Commenting on a pic where Kim Khardashian is in a white dress, entering a black Jeep: 'It's nice to see Kim entering a black stuff this time 'cos she has been famous for black stuffs entering her '.

Commenting on a female musician (can't remember who exactly): 'I disagree with you Giulana, I hate this dress on her. And the dress has a lot in common with her career: ugly, unsuccessful and very short'.

The day I heard this I almost choked on laughter. That woman has (had) 'bad mouth'. Chai!

Harmonyemerald: I guess her daughter melissa will take over cos the show is joan river's

Melissa can never be like Joan.

Harmonyemerald: She is really gone. Died few hours ago. She was 81

I guess that is the end of Fashion Police. So sad. It's really hard to get over. I love(d) her. Oh no...

Ok. This is a joke right? I just hope this is a joke! Joan Rivers? Dead? Lol. That's impossible.

Many times, I remove my bra before the close of work (especially when I wear blazers). Those things can be very uncomfortable.

Girls need fresh air at all times.

JustCare: neither does it make the student dumb

Of course.

Cheers01: Some courses are more crammable than others.

Economics being the chief crammable ones. My favourite course was microeconomics.

Of course, economics requires reasoning just like any other course but economics doesnt require deep reasoning compared to some other courses.

Exactly! So pls don't say no reasoning is required. I took a course in Physics few months ago and it was a hard nut to crack. I was reading some Engineering stuff recently and i kept going round in circles like a lost puppy. There are easy ones, there are not-so-easy ones and there are difficult ones. For me anyway.

Nevertheless, they all require some form of reasoning. Degrees vary.

Cheers01: What deep reasoning in economics? Economics is very black and white on paper. Taxes increases govt revenue, higher levels of exports is better for balance of trade, etc.

If you studied economics, you would know this.

I also studied economics.

I don't know where you graduated from or what you were taught. I've come to understand that every course requires a level of reasoning, no matter how insignificant you may see it. For a graduate to tell me Economics requires no reasoning, then I'm short of words. Even a cleaning job requires some form of reasoning.

Students cram their ways through school and once they pass, they believe they are intelligent. That is where intelligence comes in, you go above the usual classroom exercise. Just maybe that is why I think Economics requires deep reasoning.

Cheers01: Cramming is a form of intelligence.

If cramming is easy, why cant people just do it and get 5 star in economics courses? Economics doesnt require too much reasoning. Just know the theories and cram how the graphs are to look in different situations.

Cramming is a skill in itself.

According to your school of thought....

Economics require reasoning...deep one. I studied Economics, graduated with a 4 point. Intelligence entails being conscious of what you do. Cramming doesn't give you that. Yes it is a skill. Skill and intelligence are not mates.

AdeniyiA: The better way is high level CRAMology ,
seriously,as we all know that hands on practical works enhances understanding nd knowledge, but in Nigeria what we know best is practical less theories hence unavoidable cramming...

According to your school of thought...

Cheers01: Who remembers everything he/she has written in an exam?


Everyone crams. Even the most intelligent people cram. You can cram and also have comprehensive understanding of a topic.. They are not mutually exclusive.


For instance, in management accounting, it is best to cram the formulas and understand the theory. A mixture of techniques.

Not saying cramming is a crime. Pls don't get me wrong. My point is that cramming isn't a form of intelligence.

AdeniyiA: whatever... it's a fact that our system nd environment does not encourage creativity, hence the rampant brain drain.
Don't worry Caracta, i know you're intelligently creative

We don't need to wait for our environment to applaud a thing before we do it. That's the excuse pulling many people down.

Three7Ty9: I agree with you, but then they end labelled second best or in some cases mis-fits to the crammers by the society.

Unfortunately our society expects a fish to know how to climb a tree.

I'll say no more.

The society doesn't define intelligence. That a student crammed his way to exam success doesn't make him intelligent one bit.

Cheers01: lol......I would argue that cramming is a form of intelligence.


Cramming shows a retentive memory- an ability to remember a whole lot of things. Cramming can help if you have limited time to read for an exam.

And I would argue that it isn't. Retentive memory? After the exam, do you remember all you have crammed? Talking about time, an intelligent student knows better ways to pass an exam with limited time to study.
