Alexchoce:
This is a 2009 blog post. I've seen it somewhere else.

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has said that they will on February 25th embark on an indefinite strike.

The union had earlier on February 11 issued a two weeks ultimatum urging the federal government to immediately implement the agreement it reached with the union which led to the suspension of its strike last July.

President of ASUP, Comrade Chibuzor Asomuga, while speaking with journalists in Abuja at the weekend at the end of the national executive council (NEC) meeting of the union frowned over the government’s failure to implement the agreement it reached with the union.

According to him, ASUP suspended the strike in July 2014 based on the plea of the Hon Minister of Education, Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau who then requested for a three month moratorium to enable him tackle the lingering problems.

However, since the suspension of the strike none of the issues has been addressed to a logical conclusion.

It was learnt that other resolution reached at the end of the NEC included that “the Federal Government should, without further delay dissolve the Governing Councils of the Federal polytechnics Oko and Ado Ekiti as they have become burdens rather than solutions to the myriad of problems bedeviling the sector.

“That the circular issued by the Ministry of Education suspending the implementation CONTISS 15 Migration be withdrawn with immediate effect as the suspension is ill-timed and counterproductive and will create further tension in the sector.

“That Managements and Councils of Polytechnics in Nigeria must desist from interfering in ASUP activities in their Institutions and stop forthwith the intimidation of staff who insists that proper things be done.”

OP....
What's the criteria for the 'Standard'?
I know about these Teaching hospitals.
Is your ranking based on structures, manpower, available medical treatments/facilities or rate of passing the post medical exams? You need to state this.

Having gone through your post, I think you mixed many things up. For instance, NAUTH, has a poor structural facility. They are still using the old general hospital Nnewi(that should give you an insight how the hospital is). But they have high success rate in the post medical exams. So you find out structure wise, they are lacking, but academically, they are sound.
Better give us the criteria for the above list.

Also,UPTH, Abia State University Teaching Hospital(ABSUTH) and many more have good structures...

Awaiting the method used.....

Thanks.

@OP it crystal clear like the Biblical teke-teke that u're high On 'GOKO CLEANSER',it is Audible to the deaf and visible to the blind...where Is UITH(UNILORIN'S)..until u Include that,I'll regard this list a disarray-list Of some Nigerian teaching hospitals!
Hit like if u concur

bauer00:
where oau teachinh hospital....are they high on weeds

Ihave ran through most of the performance of teaching hospital in Nigeria base on efficiency and facilities available and found that this unis have the best teaching hospitals

1.university college teaching hospital-UNIBADAN premier university in Nigerian has one of the best equipped teaching hospitals

2.JUTH- UNIJOS, JUTH is rated as one of the best hospital in Nigeria in terms of services rendered and if you check out the permanent site of JUTH, it is among the finest in the country

3.LUTH-Lagos State University-LUTH might not really be among the best teaching hospitals but I bet you in terms of research it is on top.

4.Evangelin Hospital-Bingham University ,popularly called ja kwanu, the hospital was rated 4th best hospital in Africa in 2009,but its structures are now old.

5.UCTH-UNICAL ,the hospital is a state of the art hospital with good carrying capacity

6.UNTH-University of Nigeria Enugu ,I never knew about the hospital till I started following infos online about it and with little finding and how it is rated online I think it should be on the list.

7.IMSUTH-Imo State University, the IMO state University sure is one of the best state varsities in the country and also has one of the strongest teaching hospital to its credit.

8.LAUTECH- Ladoke Akintola University,only the landscape location of this university is unique and coupled with a state of the art teaching hospital I bet it is among the best in the country
9.UDUTH-Usman Danfodio University,some people might argue this but we need to always accept the fact UDUTH is one if the best hospitals in the north.

10.NAUTH-Nnamdi Azikiwe University, rankinghospital.com ranked Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital as sixth best in Nigeria with 6.32 points.

Using it on my Samsung Galaxy S4

Tis cool... Like it

kennedymonk:
thanks a lot, exams , we are preparing real hard fa....... but at our own pace though u are unijos tooo,?

kennedymonk:
Nice to be here , I've read through this thread from the largest of letters to the smallest of punctuations, well I learned , I am grateful to all the contributors . My experience?, its still loading....it will be here shortly, BTW I rep unijos Bpharm.

TrishaP:
The internal memory space of iPhone are not up to that exact space.

cloudyskyglind:
And i disagree; The Xperia z3 is better.

cloudyskyglind:
You're wrong, the Xperia z 3 cameras are the best. You don't mess with sonny when it comes to fluid-like camera quality.

ty265:
mine rocks wella...so i dnt really get ur points abt it

ty265:
Dual flash

Warlord3000:
Lol.... Yeah I know cos am on kitkat too
Just my way of telling the OP he is lying/wrong in a civilized way without being offensive

senorova:
Its not kinda wrong...its totally wrong.
Kitkat allows you the luxury of storing apps on your sd card.

Warlord3000:
Interesting... But the SD card aspect on kitkat seems kinda wrong though

abatically:
Its a nice write up but no way shcorlaship informative. The op copied and pasted an article written by someone else, so u want us to give him credit for that? He should have at least added his source, then we would give him the credit rather than trying to take credit for what he didn't write.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/8-potentially-misleading-smartphone-features-that-you-shouldnt-instantly-fall-for_id65492

On the business side of things, it's a cutthroat world out there. A large number of smartphone manufacturers are literally grasping at straws, trying to stay relevant, and even the big boys are known to sometimes step over the line to achieve the same. With such a terrific variety of smartphone devices on the market, most of which not much different from one another, it comes down to companies' respective marketing divisions to drive interest in its products and, ultimately, drive sales.


1. Dual "stereo" speakers
Sometimes, manufacturers decide to entice consumers by including two separate "stereo" speakers with their smartphones. You should keep a few things in mind, however.

First off, dual speakers don't automatically mean two channel sound, and that's an important consideration (not to mention, a requirement for stereo sound). But even when a smartphone does route audio through two channels, it's important to keep in mind that for a true stereo effect, the positioning of said speakers is also crucial. In other words, if both speakers are located on the bottom side of the phone, you'll experience no stereophonic sound.


2. Camera megapixels
We'll never tire repeating this, even though it's probably a long-lost battle – higher megapixel counts for your camera do not equal better image quality. In fact, in some cases, it doesn't even mean more details! As far, far greater predictor of image quality is the size of the camera sensor slapped on this or that smartphone. Remember, all things being equal, a larger camera sensor will deliver better image quality than a smaller one.

In other words, don't just assume that because the Xperia Z3 has 20.7-megapixels, it's necessarily better than the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (which has 16 megapixels). In fact, the Note 4 is actually the better shooter overall.


3. Look! A 256-core processor!
Most self-respecting techies know that processor core counts are just part of the story when it comes to performance. Indeed, chips like the dual-core A8 inside the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are incredibly potent. So next time you see a smartphone with an octa-core processor, don't just assume that it's purely a numbers game and that 8 > 4 > 2. Part of the reason for that is platforms' inability to actually properly utilize anything beyond two cores, and this also holds true for the majority of third-party apps, too.


4. Dual SIMs
The Dual SIM option is enticing because it allows users greater flexibility with their carrier plans, which, in turn, saves them money. Unfortunately, however, we often come across people that don't quite get the limitations of the most popular, dual SIM, dual standby tech that most such devices go for.

In short, the first thing you need to know with dual SIM, dual standby configurations is that when data or the call network is being utilized by one card, the other will be sitting in standby, meaning it'll be unreachable. What's more, the secondary SIM slot usually can only work with a 2G GSM network at most, so no blazing-fast internet speeds. Generally, if you expect calls to come through from both cards and are an active user, you may want to look into dual SIM, dual active devices (very few of those, unfortunately).

5.Very limited internal storage, but microSD slot
We get it – to cut down on costs and offer you as affordable a device as possible, manufacturers sometimes are forced to slash the amount of internal storage available with this or that device. This issue is usually partially resolved in most consumers' minds by the availability of a microSD card slot, the majority of which support at least 32GB of extra storage. Sounds plentiful enough, right?

Not really. There are a number of drawbacks with microSD cards. For example, in Android 4.4 KitKat and higher, Google removed the ability to store apps externally on the card, citing security concerns. This means that unless your device has a specially-crafted workaround built-in by the manufacturer, or you are ready to root your device, you'll be unable to store anything more than media on that otherwise spacious 32 gig card. This can be quite a problem with apps' tendency to require more and more space, so keep that in mind when making purchasing decisions.


6.Dual LED flash
Night photography is a sore spot with smartphones, courtesy of their teeny-tiny camera sensors that just can't gather enough light. It's because of this that some of us are excited about the idea of having a dual LED flash on our smartphones – after all, that's an extra LED flash lamp, so you should get even better illumination in the dark, right?

Not really. At least not necessarily. A dual LED flash configuration on one phone can actually provide less illumination than the single LED flash config of another. So don't assume that an extra lamp will help you snap brighter photos in the dark – it could, but it's not a given.

7.Thinness has a price
For some of us, a thinner phone equals a better-looking, more stylish phone. More than just thinness goes into what makes a device attractive, of course, but it's undeniable that the industry is set on trimming down any extra fat, as quickly as possible. We therefore now have devices with profiles measuring less than 0.19 inches (5 mm).

Sleek-looking as they might be, however, such smartphones usually come with some kind of drawback that you should keep in mind. For example, the thinner the phone is, the less space there is for the battery (so lower endurance) and everything else. The camera, too, is often the victim of certain compromises. Lastly, a thinner device generally means less efficient heat dissipation, which, in turn, means throttling of the processor when using the phone for prolonged periods, and thus, worse performance.

8.LTE
LTE is able to provide users with Internet speeds up to three times faster than 3G, reaching up to 150 Megabits per second (Mb/s) in ideal conditions. These speeds may also vary depending on the operator infrastructure, the device, the manufacturer and the speeds it supports. However, these speeds provide users with a general estimate of what speeds can be reached with LTE. These increased data speeds provide users with faster uplink speeds (approximately 50Mb/s) and faster download speeds (approximately 100Mb/s). although recently released mobile devices are LTE-enabled, LTE coverage is not available everywhere. It must be noted that LTE is still currently in its infancy stages in Africa as networks are not readily geared up for it.

9.NFC
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of ideas and technology that enables smartphones and other devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, typically a distance of 10 cm (3.9 in) or less.

While this may sound intizing, many people over here cannot afford high ends. In the West, only a small proportion of people don’t have access to a bank account, so logic says such a product would not work here. The reality is that many sections of society are very poorly served by traditional banks.
