Supersuave2:
I'm just seeing that the team is average as shiit except the likes of lukaku, degea and maybe matic.

don't understand why martial wasn't used. Man utd lacks a skillful player who is fast and can run at defenders, rashford has no skills, no pace. Valencial has pace, no skills. Martial has skills and a little pace, he should be used more often.
Young is skillful and has pace too.

this midfield football isn't for united, we need to run in from flanks and put in crosses for lukaku and fellaini who are strong and good in air, square play too.

This team is just average, I don't see man utd winning the league with this style of play.
I bet you didn't write this long post when they were winning 4-0. You can't win or dominate every game. Anyone who has watched football long enough will know this. There will be games when you just have to grind out a result.

EducationRe: See Assignment Given To A Primary 1 Pupil by dabossman(m): 10:29am On Sep 23, 2017
collinsebuka:
madam what are you saying


how is this assignment meant for high school student, because of the use of the word 'exhibit' and the vocabularies

please go and search about reading and writing proficiency test in grade 2 and educate yourself. you people are attacking the poster who is right.

when I hear my 5 year old niece in the us speak I can't help but admire her use of words and vocabulary
Have you really bothered to find out why her vocabulary is expansive? I can tell you it is not by doing homework like this. I have a 6 year old who's vocabulary and range of words amaze me. She learnt most of it by watching Disney Junior.

This is grade one curriculum in the US:

Overview of First Grade Learning Milestones
First grade is a year of highly visible progress in reading and language arts. The four major milestones in first grade reading and language arts are:
Knowing the names and sounds of all the consonants and vowels
Understanding phonics concepts such as consonant combinations
Following along, reading, and summarizing simple stories with pictures
Developing an understanding of composition
First grade is also a year of exploration and discovery of the numbers in the world around us. Five major milestones for first grade math include:
Counting to 100 by 1’s and skip counting
Knowing the addition math facts
Adding and subtracting small numbers
Understanding the value of money
Knowing the units for measurement, time, and weightKnowing the names and sounds of all the consonants and vowels.

https://www.time4learning.com/education/first_grade.shtml


Most of this my daughter was learning in Nursery 1. In primary 1, she was already counting to 1000, and having homework to write from 100-200, 201 - 400 and so on. They already learnt how to add up in hundred, tens and units in primary one.

kidman96:
you should all be ashamed of yourselves. if that teachers spends 3 minutes on google he/she will get the answers for themselves. why give it to a child to give to its parents who may be bloody illiterates like that fool who posted on Facebook?

if you want to know why this country is so backwards all you have to do is listen to Nigerians speak and behave... if you listen to an american primary 1 child speak you will see the difference between their educational system and ours, you will know why they are far ahead of us, you will know why Nigeria is a country heading backwards instead of forward. children are meant to learn good virtue and goal getting as young as possible, there are no two ways to that. when you pay thousands to go listen to a motivational speaker speaks what do you thing they speak about? its 'goal getting' you bloody morons. they twist and turn it and make it sound like they are speaking on inspirations from above but all they talk about is setting goals and achieving them and here you have a teacher teaching a primary 1 child goal getting and good virtue which will develop their brains fast and hasting their maturity you fcking illiterates are here criticising the teacher... this is just a Nigerian syndrome. we are very good are criticising people doing their job,people who have been trained to do their job we tell them how to do it when we have no idea the basics of it. we criticise the police,the military e even criticise foot ball managers and coaches wgen we never stepped a foot onto a football pitch...
i remember my days in the secondary school, my teacher gave us an assignment and i told my calssmate that i will tell my mom to help me with it and teach me. my classmate reported me to my class teacher and my class teacher rebuked him,telling him that it was a good thing for my parents to teach me the assignment and help me with it. why cant the stupid mother complaining on facebook teach the child GOOD VIRTUE AND GOAL GETTING? is it ever too early in life to learn these things? no. it develops a child faster in their daily lives and makes them better and more mature than their mates. lets not forget that a teacher can give yoyu an assignment he knows will be very difficult because they want you to make mistakes so they can correct them and make you learn.

And you morons here on Nairanland are quick to criticise the teacher.
Oga, you tried small, but goofed. You are right when you say parents need to be involved in their child's learning process. However, you don't teach a primary one pupil good virtue and goal setting by asking him to write and explain in this manner. You teach them such principles through practical examples and play acting. You teach them using stories that depicts such character traits.

You're right that Nigerian educational system is backward though. We're still stuck on old teaching methods. Pour out plenty notes and make kids cram.

Go and read about preschool and primary school education in Finland and some other Scandinavian countries. They don't even give homework to kids at this level. Just yesterday, I was reading about how some schools in the US were modifying the school environment to take teaching out of the conventional classrooms by converting hallways, stairwells and so on to areas of learning.

Here in Nigeria, most private schools have scrapped primary 6 and developed this "ahead by one" system where they teach kids stuff that is one year ahead of the curriculum. I have a child in primary 2 who is already using primary 3 textbooks. Where are we hurrying them off to? I had to download the US and UK primary school curriculum to compare. Private schools here are teaching way ahead of both countries. Our classes are not age appropriate. Then they will still ask you to pay for after school lessons. Keeping a 5-6 year old in school from 8am till 5pm. To teach what?

American Idols had black winners back in the day, I think I insinuated this earlier.

how many black people have won? American Idols is the worst.

You think if they could vote for NFL players you'd see 70% of black people there?
They voted a black President. Twice. Like someone said earlier; they've shown themselves to be more liberal than we have. Yes racism exists and it is bad, but tribalism is even worse, when blacks hate themselves.

Besides, be careful not to be guilty of the same thing you are beefing whites for. That's a sort of reverse racism dear.

Oh, and American Idols had black winners back to back sometime ago. I didn't hear white folks complaining. White folks also watch the NFL more and most of the teams have white owners paying top dollars to these black athletes. Same with the NBA.

safarigirl:
season six, checked it earlier today. I am not convinced.

11 seasons or more, 1 black winner and nothing else, says a lot.

Same reason I stopped watching American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance, after the early seasons when people were testing the waters, no matter how good others are, the white person still wins. It's predictable

I guess it's based on voting power. Whites have more voting power than blacks
More than 70% of NBA and NFL players are black. US track teams are dominated by blacks. The US basketball dream team is mostly black. You hardly hear folks complaining about that.

You don't expect talent shows to give preference to someone simply because of the color of their skin? Affirmative action can't apply here. When black people won, did they not get white votes?

Would you stop supporting the Super Eagles because there are usually more Igbo's than other tribes?

This AGT that always has white winners. Preferably the little, blonde girls.

Not one non-white winner, tomorrow they will say America is for all
Safarigirl, it helps to say what you know or at least do a little research. You're better than making this kind of gaffe.

This is a black AGT winner.

SportsRe: Eagles Outclass Hosts Ghana To Reach WAFU Cup Semis by dabossman(m): 10:53am On Sep 19, 2017
Chartey:
This result was obviously fixed because the organisers want a Nig - Gha final. Nigeria has not been impressive in this tournament and needed a win to qualify for the semis while Ghana had already qualified.
It's all business.
And you think Ghana would be so eager to play us in the final that they would extend this kind of favour to us? You obviously don't know the level of rivalry between both countries when it comes to African football. Ghana would rather eliminate us than risk playing Nigeria in the final. Mind you, both teams aren't even assured of making the finals.

How many points separate a 2.1 from a 2.2? Mind you, in the extra year, you don't just take the one 2 or 3 unit course. You still have to make up at least 12-15 units per semester. So, go figure.
EducationRe: 10 Carry Over In My Final Year. What Should I Do? by dabossman(m): 4:29pm On Sep 18, 2017
10 carryovers is quite a lot. An extra year in itself is not a death sentence. I know someone who decided to do an extra year rather than have the one course he carried over waived, simply so he could graduate with a 2.1 instead of 2.2. Many folks thought he was crazy, but he graduated with his 2.1.

But this your case, I don't know what to say. How are we sure this sister will still pass all the 10 courses?

P.S: An extra year is not a death sentence. Don't do anything stupid.
EducationRe: Nans President:we Are Ready To Shut Down Federal Roads by dabossman(m): 12:35pm On Sep 16, 2017
Originalsly:
Don't you think if the highways are blocked all sectors will be strangled?....including the oil industry? Do you know it's protests and marches that forced the FG of the US to give Blacks Civil Rights?.....the rights that we are bailing out of our country to enjoy but not willing or finding excuses not to fight for our own?
Now explain to me how...how do we put press on the National Assembly?
There is a big difference between staging a march and blocking highways. You can march to government house in the different states, march to Aso Rock, march to NASS and camp out there for as long as it takes. People hold marches regularly for cancer awareness etc. Nothing wrong with that.

Blocking highways and preventing others from exercising their right to free movement is however, illegal and counterproductive. That is civil unrest. We all know how it ends. Mobile police, soldiers, live bullets, tear gas, vandalization of innocent people's property. Sorrow, tears and blood. I have been witnessing that since the 80's and it hasn't solved much. We need to change our strategy.

Even the US you made reference to, Civil rights legislation still ended up at Congress. We practice a similar democracy, flawed as it may be. This problem of proper funding for education can only be solved through legislation, not executive fiat. We were all in this country when the Senate cut the budget of the Ministry of PW&H, and increased the budget for their own constituency projects against the will of the executive. How about increasing the budget for education and ensuring budget implementation through their oversight functions.

How do we put pressure on NASS? Apart from cutting off the supply from the goose that laya the golden egg? How about organizing pressure groups to recall them? NANS can mobilize students nationwide to do this rather than wasting time under the sun engaging trigger happy law enforcement. We can start with members of the committees on education in both houses. How about when they come to bribe us with keke napep and grinding machines in the name of constituency projects, we say no, put that money in education. How about a peaceful one million man march to the National Assembly if NANS must hit the streets. How about sponsoring a bill for a specific percentage of national budget going annually to education to the NASS and campaigning nationwide for its swift passage.

The approach must be strategic and consistently pursued.

Blocking the highways will not affect those in government directly. We've been down that road before. No pun intended.

At the end of the day, the solution lies in putting pressure on those in government. And we all know the pressure nerve of the FG. It is oil. The day NUPENG, PENGASSON, and all other unions in the sector ground the country to a halt and insist on qualitative education for our children, the government may begin to listen. ASUU needs to synergize with some of these other unions. Let them know it is the future of their kids that is at stake.

Also, and most importantly, we must put press on the National Assembly to ensure a much higher budget is given to education and that budget must be properly financed in the same way their own allowances are financed.

Indeed, everyone sitting at home and doing nothing, while the economy that funds the lavish lifestyle of our political elite grinds to a halt may be the key. The only problem is we Nigerians rarely have the staying power.

[quote author=Reference post=60514080][/quote]You need to calm down and stop venting. That is not how problems are solved.

First things first. Understanding the genesis of a problem is the first step to addressing it. This problem did not start today. Even this current strike is about promises the FG made to ASUU as far back as 2009. An MOU was signed then but has been poorly implemented until now.

Secondly, we can blame the executive all we want, but the real solution lies in the legislature. There is a UN stipulation on how much of a national budget that should go into education. Has NASS for once insisted that the education budget be raised to anywhere near that percentage? It's easier for them to adjust the budget to allocate more funds to their constituency projects than it is to allocate more funds to education. Also, who has oversight functions in ensuring the implementation of this budget if not NASS? If only we Nigerians understand the style of democracy we practice, we would probably have real growth. But many years under military rule has given us the mentality we have today.

We can keep venting and shouting as usual, insulting individuals rather than analysing and solving the problem with finality. Maybe 10-20 years from now, we'll still be venting, striking and blocking highways. Good luck with that.

A man who knows nothing about education definitely will not value it so he doesn't mind if the education section is grounded. All that matters to him is farming and his health issues in UK.
And how many months was ASUU on strike for when a Ph.D holder was President?

Stop politicizing the issue. It is a national issue irrespective of who or what party is in charge. Nigerian education has been bastardized since the era of the military. The problem must be addressed holistically and through proper legislation.

You want to block federal highways and inconvenience your parents, uncles and aunties who are going about their business, trying to make money to pay your fees, while those impoverishing you are flying above your heads.

Why does international sport bodies like FIFA allow Nigeria to compete despite Nigeria being the most corrupted country in the world? I think it's high time Nigeria is banned from participating in all international sporting events.
