My personal opinion is that if you cannot get up to a minimum 2:2 in the degree,
then it might have been better to not have gone to university after-all.

The reason is because, the indication is that they may not have an aptituse for academic work.
The problem lies in the belief that everyone must be an an academic. There are so many options
to consider rather than a mere university degree.

If someone is not academic oriented, vocational application might suite the person better, or even
a business degree. One can learn how to use his hands to do something in those 4 or 5 odd years and
end up much better than a 3rd class graduate!

NB: Funny thing is, some people keep writing JAMB for 4 years, just to enter a degree to leave with
a third class; just not worth it.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]give me proof that we killed twins you cowardly slave mentality man-worshipping, cannibalistic slave!

useless brainwashed by missionaries & greedy pastors. . [/quote]My friend don't be deluded, most of what you call culture are steeped in demon worship and satanism. Killing of twins is a historical fact, unless ur the one that has been brainwashed. The bible says you should not worship any craven image, wat does "tradition" say?

You cannot serve two masters. I have no problem with you wanting to serve Sango, but please and please, don't mix that with Christianity. Thank you.

Most African traditions are demonic and evil joor, and they do not mix with christianity at all.
Go and be killing twins na, in the name of tradition and culture, mstcheeeewwww

According to Wikipedia:
Cassava roots and leaves should not be consumed raw because they contain two cyanogenic glucosides, linamarin and lotaustralin. These are decomposed by linamarase, a naturally-occurring enzyme in cassava, liberating hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Cassava varieties are often categorized as either sweet or bitter, signifying the absence or presence of toxic levels of cyanogenic glucosides, respectively. The so-called sweet (actually not bitter) cultivars can produce as little as 20 milligrams of cyanide (CN) per kilogram of fresh roots, whereas bitter ones may produce more than 50 times as much (1 g/kg). Cassavas grown during drought are especially high in these toxins. A dose of 40 mg of pure cassava cyanogenic glucoside is sufficient to kill a cow.[citation needed] Excess cyanide residue from improper preparation is known to cause acute cyanide intoxication, and goiters, and has been linked to ataxia (a neurological disorder affecting the ability to walk, also known as konzo). It has also been linked to tropical calcific pancreatitis in humans, leading to chronic pancreatitis.
Societies that traditionally eat cassava generally understand some processing (soaking, cooking, fermentation, etc.) is necessary to avoid getting sick.

Symptoms of acute cyanide intoxication appear four or more hours after ingesting raw or poorly processed cassava: vertigo, vomiting, and collapse. In some cases, death may result within one or two hours. It can be treated easily with an injection of thiosulfate (which makes sulfur available for the patient's body to detoxify by converting the poisonous cyanide into thiocyanate).[35]
"Chronic, low-level cyanide exposure is associated with the development of goiter and with tropical ataxic neuropathy, a nerve-damaging disorder that renders a person unsteady and uncoordinated. Severe cyanide poisoning, particularly during famines, is associated with outbreaks of a debilitating, irreversible paralytic disorder called konzo and, in some cases, death. The incidence of konzo and tropical ataxic neuropathy can be as high as 3% in some areas." Brief soaking (four hours) of cassava is not sufficient, but soaking for 18–24 hours can remove up to half the level of cyanide. Drying may not be sufficient, either.

The reliance on cassava as a food source and the resulting exposure to the goitrogenic effects of thiocyanate has been responsible for the endemic goiters seen in the Akoko area of southwestern Nigeria. People dependent on cassava risk cyanide poisoning and malnutrition diseases such as kwashiorkor and endemic goiter.

Guys, please I would like the GRE materials as well, pleeeeaasseee? Thanx
Received, Thank you.
