Oh I sey... maybe we shd start with what do you think is wrong with the calibre of lecturers in Nigeria currently?....

It's true that poor funding and working environment/labs greatly limits the productivity of Nigerian academics but many people dismiss this point as mere excuse... that's why proper funding will at least eliminate this issue... whether you also consider it an excuse...or not

kafeii123:
I think it's you who's not getting my point..... which is....that there's nothing wrong with the calibre of lecturers Nigeria currently has......most of the ones I know are worth their salt and quite competent..... and if given proper tools and encouragement will deliver.... just as they often do... when they go to private unis or abroad for sabbaticals and research visits. I know and have interacted with quite a good number...(although mainly in the STEMs) and they're quite competent

Could this woman have been killed by someone else?
I hope the ballistic test of the bullet(s) extracted from her has been done.

Splitmind:
We should just start picking scapegoats to shoot on the street one by one. Maybe then their foolish brains will learn to respect the armed forces.

skultrick:
But let's be frank, this woman may have contributed to her death. How would you disobey authority when flagged down. Moreover, the car had no plate number. Obviously she felt since she's lawyer she can do and undo. This was how a custom officer was killed by a soldier after they declined to stop.


Whoever you're please respect authority to avoid stories that touch.

chris51:
Government should stop funding Universities. They should be self funding. This is when strikes will end. Government does not fund Universities in the UK and US. In fact Obama paid off his students loan a few years ago. That's how it's done here.

kafeii123:
I assumed your question to be coming from a dismissive/pessimistic mindset...not an inquisitive one....but I also did answer your question....only didn't get into it right on....

Here goes once again "Making funding available for them will go a long way in removing the excuse of their poor performance being due to poor funding. Our unis were once attended by international citizens, if we get them up to standard again? we will save huge forex and even attract foreign students even if just from within western Africa and they will pay in foreign currency, helping to keep the system sustainable."

Rt. Hon Femi gbajabiamila and his guys at the 8th House of Representatives have already begun the needed groundwork towards this.... What will have to happen will be that students be made to pay the requisite fees for their tertiary education...those who cannot afford it should be given loans with federal govt staff as guarantors to secure those loans... Such fees will definitely still be lower than what private unis charge...Baze University for instance charges about 3M per session for each law student.... there's nothing wrong with public unis charging 4-500k per session...

It will go a long way to ensure that only those who really know that they need tertiary education will apply to attend. Many current ills such as cultism.. hooliganism..etc will all reduce.... It will inevitably take University education access off the reach of the common man though... making it the exclusive preserve of the middle class at least.....


This is something that good initial funding can help prevent....if govt injects the needed funds now...the universities will become standardized....foreigners will be encouraged to come study here...the fees they pay will help to offset what would have been levied on indigenous students.

If you still need more explanation....many Nigerian lecturers actually are worth their salt... If you fund the university system appropriately.... they'll get the tools for correct knowledge delivery....if they're not overworked...their effectiveness will improve... And you'll see them deliver as they often do when they go abroad for research visits and sabbaticals

TheChameleon:
Keep quiet. Why did Nonso choose to do the surgery in Lagos instead of Anambra?

It's because Tinubu made Lagos habitable while Peter Obi left Anambra a pig sty.

burgermeister:
Well, if you lack understanding, there is nothing I can do about that. Bye.

Realist12:
Lol, I had a good laugh , Nigeria's presidents have always been victims of name calling. From badluck to bubu now balablu .
It's hereditary to Nigerian presidents ,we all can see how the criticism and blames have shifted from Buhari to Tinubu. It only means Nigeria know where the next president is coming from . That's why El Rufai said we'd ignore the insults and take the votes.

The opposition lost the debates as soon as they shifted to personal attacks rather than track records .

burgermeister:
I never said it was but a little bit of positivity is good for everyone. Aproko doctor did his surgery here in Nigeria despite the whole negative orientation and it was successful, done by a Nigerian doctor in a Nigerian hospital.

I know someone (Nigerian) who went to the US & spent millions for child delivery and the kids died in the states (they were twins)... So pls... Not everything is bad in Nigeria. Same doctors here will perform amazingly abroad so all we need for the health sector are equipments, continuous training and proper remuneration.

Kobonaire2023:
Well if Buhari had done two things on June 1, 2015...

1.Remove subsides on petrol completely

2.Remove subsides on power

we won't have been in this mess right now, and we would be enjoying a bit more. The economy won't be fantastic, but it would be better than what we have now.

Kobonaire2023:
Either we pay for good healthcare at point, or we pretend we can get it cheap, while we take loans to pay for everything.

Or you stop complaining about how bad things are in Nigeria, and accept we are too poor to have good healthcare system

Things cost money. We get what we pay for. And APC has not diversified the economy, neither has it made it a productive economy.

burgermeister:
It doesn't cost you anything to wish your motherland well. Infrastructure is improving (though slowly), we are the most intelligent and we have the best entertainment industry in Africa, so the health sector can improve too.

Private sector players need to step into the healthcare industry and transform it. The government is clueless, so the opportunity remains for private sector players to monetize the disadvantages and make profit from it.

TheGift:
It doesn't affect me . You can rest now.

TheGift:
It takes dreamers to make any country great. Even America was once a place for dreamers before they made their dreams reality.

But with the unbelieving mindset of yours, in the guise of being realistic, we will never even try to make a difference.

Thank God for that neuro surgeon and Aproko doctor who have not given up on Nigeria .

In their mind Tinubu built Lagos after Adam & Eve

Kobonaire2023:
It will get better if we are willing to pay the tax to make it better and /or the hospital fees to make it better.

As they do in sane countries

Modifed

In one year, OAUTH had the equivalent of 10 million dollars to spend. In one year, Mass. General hospital, boston had nearly 800 million dollars to spend.

And expecting our hospitals to perform as the American system does is magical thinking

I guess amokachi with a rolls Royce is talking for his stomach?

I knew something is not right with Obi when almost all his people who are stakeholders rejected him and refused to endorse him.

My bf's money is mine. So whether mine or his own, it no matter. I m a cheerful giver in terms of cash.

sqlPAIN:
This mentality is mostly common among Nigerian guys and honesty it's disgusting mentality to me...

I was watching a prank video on YouTube where a guy pretended to be an ice cream selling and tried to asked some girls out to see if anyone would give him a chance. Only about 2 girls out if like 12 he approached gave him their number. What I noticed in the comments section were comments of guys saying the two girls who gave him their number were real women and that the others were fake. I've seen a lot of guys even on nairaland here with such stuupidd mentality. Ask yourself this question, if you were an ice cream seller or a broke or poor man, Shey you go date yourself if you be woman ni?

If I find myself in such situations as a guy man, going into a relationship would not even cross my mind, not to talk of being the last thing on my mind. My biggest priority would be to hussle. Hussle and more hussle till I make enough to get myself a better life...

Abeg make una stop dey castigate women for wanting the best, it's human to want the best things and it's logical.

Goodlady:
Like I said earlier this morning. Money is essential.
Only a frustrated broke person ll tell a girl not to marry a rich person.
Money is almost the most important thing in relationship. It's almost same level as love cos you show love with money.

CruelDove:
That kind of ill mentality is mostly common among poor men with inferior complex disorder. Rich men don't think that way. They are never stingy with their money.

Superwave16320:
Neither have you answered mine did Peter Obi son attend school in Anambra university or Atiku son attend school in Adamawa university or you are simply in search of a media to exhibit your inherited foolishness ?
