OP should work with the Mods in changing "Other" to "Order" In thread title.

the city isn't united.

Blame it on the Igbo's as usual.

This man has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he has Nada to offer.

Julivas:
Then I think we can give him a chance

Sure

After they award grade with W@YO they will say a third class in OAU is first class in . . .

They didn't hold u when u were releasing opposition member names. They must be APC members within your govt then.

Cool.

he has a bettetd track record than most of his peers. I heard he was forced into exile during the military dictatorship years.

Inferiority? What inferiority? Are you referring to the issues that are troubling your mind? Again, you have just exposed your ignorant mindset, concerning Microbiology graduates, with all what you wrote here. I never made any allusion to riding a Keke and applying as a cashier to a bank. You were the first to do so. The day you can explain this fixation you have for microbiology graduates, then maybe a solution can be found for your problems...!

Ha ha ha! This is delusion at it's peak.

No sir, you are the one who is "mentally derailed." Thanks for letting us know the true nature of the affliction that plagues your mind.

And saying it is easier to set up a business in the field of Microbiology than some other fields, in the way you compared it with Computer Science, shows that you know absolutely nothing about what a microbiologist does, or the tools he needs to practise his profession. Digital electron microscopes and fully functional standard laboratories with scientific equipment, do not come cheap. Neither do reagents and analytical tools. They all cost thousands of dollars, and none are manufactured locally. So kindly stop saying what you do NOT know. Anyway, thank God everyone can read, and they can all see that you are the one who is actually "posting what beyond your intellectual capacity." When people like you are unable to cite adequate, verifiable facts to make a intelligent point, you resort to insults. Why am I not surprised?

Who started the insults? You have further confirmed your inferiority to the world. You disagree with my "faulty premise" but can't provide yours and think Govts should usher microbiology grads into world class laboratories.
Keep dreaming and defending a faulty and failed system for personal reasons there. In your narrow mind driving a Keke and applying as a cashier to a bank (microfinance inclusive) is better than getting experience that can easily land you an Intl job.

I must ask are you a microbiologist by training or did you enjoy subsidized education at tertiary level?

laudate:
I did NOT derail anything. You were the first to make this comment, have you forgotten? "

You claimed that it was easier to startup a venture in Microbiology. Do you remember? When your faulty premise was pointed out, you resorted to inanities. Instead of you to accept or admit your mistake and move on, you tried to justify it further by comparing the equipment a microbiology graduate would need to set up a private venture, with the cost of a laptop needed by a Computer Science graduate. Imagine!

I asked you earlier, "how much does a digital electron microscope cost?" This is one of the most basic tools, used by a microbiologist. You were unable to give an answer. I also asked you how much does it cost to set up a laboratory, with equipment? You declined to provide an response. Yet, you are claiming that it is easy to set up a startup venture in Microbiology, just like in ICT. Guy, educate yourself and stop exposing your ignorance.

Next time you want to sample my post as facts please sample relevant posts and stop the desperate facing saving tactics.

Are you this mentally derailed? What is faulty in saying Microbiology is easier to set up a business than some other fields.
You think I care about your useless rants about govt not providing jobs for microbiology grads?
You are the one to provide how much you think it cost to set up a microbiology lab since you claim I had a faulty premise in claiming it "easier" than some other fields. Stop posting what beyond your intellectual capacity.

Nigerians and tribal fights. If I was president I will stop interschool debates and replace it with inter tribal intellectual competitions. Nigeria will develop faster that way. Imagine a Yoruba vs Hausa industrialization competition or Igbo vs Ijaw crude oil refining competition. Chai Nigerians.

You are the one lamenting about how much govt has spent in subsidising their education, only for them to go into other areas like banking. Have you forgotten? You even lamented that they could not create jobs for themselves, when you compared them to computer science graduates. That was why I asked you if that same govt provided them with jobs, upon graduation. Your lamentations about govt subsidising their studies is totally misplaced. If you attended a public university in Nigeria, you would realise that govt subsidises all courses, in public universities. Why single out one like Microbiology, and continue to wail about it? You obviously know next to nothing about the course and what it entails! Try to make sense, when next you decide to quote me, pls!

I knew u were going to derail soon. My post u replied initially was in response to the guy who talked about the IT and Agric needs of Nigeria instead of celebrating the business scientist who is the focus of this thread.
You jumped in as if my illustration involving microbiology grad was a personal thing. You already attest to the fact microbiologist support the Agric, Health and Beverage Industry. That is in line with my example of courses required by nation where graduates are wasting away.
Re-read our convoy and stop derailing any further.

laudate:
Guy, how is that the fault of the microbiology graduates? How many jobs exist for them to do, once they graduate? Did the govt offer them a job on graduation, and they declined? If they want to go into private practice on their own, where are the funds to buy the microscope and equipment they need to deploy their services, when there are no low interest loans available? You are just fixated on talking about a field like microbiology, which you obviously know nothing about! Computer Science is very different from Microbiology. Stop comparing the two, so that people would NOT laugh at you.

Is the govt suppose to create jobs for them or locate jobs for them and offer them the jobs.
Stop taking discussion beyond your level. You speak as though the govt is suppose to adopt microbiology grads as sons and give them job. How much does the microbiology graf need to employ himself in his own field? Juxtapose that against the subsidy they enjoy all through undergrad days and tell me that we need to after business scientist instead of microbiology grads.

laudate:
Are you for real? It is easy to set up a job in microbiology? Do you really know anything about microbiology? Wait first....what is the cost of a good digital microscope these days? And the cost of all other equipment you need to work with, in a good lab? Do you even know how much it costs to set up a functional lab?

There are expensive Comp Sci equipments also.
Govt is subsidizing the public uni grad with hundreds of thousand per session as undergrads so we should talk about those grads.

You are a expert. Technology can be stolen. Come and teach me.

laudate:
For her to have graduated at 25, it is unlikely that she had any years of actual work experience, in the public or private sector. In the past, you needed to show proof of work experience, before being admitted to the Ph.D programme in public universities. I guess that criteria has been waived in private universities.

That criteria is outdated.

laudate:
What are you saying? How many jobs exist for microbiology graduates in this country? Add all the job opportunities in the food & beverage industry, healthcare sector etc together, and it would still not be enough to absorb all the microbiology graduates, from our universities. So how is it their fault, if they eventually end up in the banking sector? Or should they starve to death, while waiting for a job in a field related to their area of specialisation?

There are some field where it is easier to startup a venture. IT is one of them and Microbiology is another.
Can you imagine a Computer Science grad who studied programming riding keke out of joblessness? the fact that a laptop is much cheaper than a keke will interpreted to mean the comp sci grad isn't competent enough to program.

Same logic applies for Microbiology grad from UI. If we must talk about people studying courses we need as a nation then private people should be left out and the subsidized grad should be considered first. Govt is suppose to create enabling environment for job creation and not direct jobs.

I strongly suspect Buhari is waiting until very close to polls to secure release of the girl. By that time the opposition must have used it to campaign against him and her release will weaken their stance.

Long time ago.

;By the time Buhari hangs his gloves and younger candidates are trying to vie he must have gained popularity for being a previous aspirant.

Good question. The guy above me already mentioned whats on my mind.

Buhari has taken sides. I am disappointed.

Cutehector:
PhD in business administration? Really? When Nigeria's problem is fixated on IT and agriculture.. Please..

You can go force her to study IT or Agric related course.
What do we do about the thousands of subsidized IT and Agric related grads the FG is subsidizing who end up in Banking sector?
According to Prof Okebukola, Less than 20% of microbiology grads form UI end up practicing microbiology. The money spend by FG in subsidizing the remaining 80%+ is wasted. That's taxpayers money. Talk about that and leave private people alone.

haywire07:
It's all about money

Make I hear say u attend public Nigerian schools and you can achieve this.

Let's assume she finished secondary school at 14.

She attended a foreign university and spent 3years (there are courses abroad that are 3 years. Our overhyped architecture of 4-5 years is 3years in UK)

So at 17 she did Msc of two years and finished at 19.

Six years after she completed her PhD. (how many years is PhD?)

I'm sure she's just about to go for NYSC.

I repeat It's all about money !!!!

Is PHD 6 years minimum?

chrisbaxtian:
I doubt if she would have been able to get this degree at the university of Ibadan at such a young age. Anyway good luck to her.

As long as UI can award PHD in 4 years it is possible but hard because of the same discrimination we are seeing in this thread.

Cutehector:
Just a piece of paper.... No value added to the nation.

Have you gone through her work(s)?
Stop hating indiscriminately.

dulux07:
Probably she won't have achieved that at that age, not because she is not academically sound enough, but because of the lukewarmness and hostile conditions of those schools. Like U.I is better than university of aberdeen too.

You dey mind them haters.

Good news.
