APC requiring your NIN, Ward, polling Unit, Your Voter's Identification number. What else do you need to rig? Hope sane Nigerians can read meaning into this.

I think it is for APC or why are you so worried about this? Hope you are not seeing these people in your nightmares

North to Ilorin now to Ogbomoso. We will learn the hard way

He'll probably be back before quarter final

He will soon be sacked as well

Point one:
English language is basically divided into three categories of understanding; speaking, reading and writing.
A medical doctor who is able to speak good English may not be able to put it in writing correctly, even some native speakers cannot write the language just like in Yoruba and other languages where some native speakers cannot even write down their language. English examination majorly assess this writing skill which is also Key for medical doctors.

Point 2:
Aside from English language itself in O'level examination, other subjects are not critical with grammatical accuracy, they only mark Points and correctness to questions asked.
That a prospective medical doctor got A1s in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics etc does not mean that if it has to be critiqued by an English expert it will maintain such grade.

Bottom line:
English language is Compulsory BECAUSE it is the general language of communication in an heterogenous society like ours. The same cannot be said of Mathematics.
Thanks

lol... Alright o

Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

English in this case is core even for science because it is the language of communication. All the course you will do in science are written in English and understanding them his Key if you need to excel in ur chosen field which made the language itself has an edge A miscommunication in semantics or writing from a doctor may spell doom for a patient. So, since English is a language of communication across all fields, it is core. So, English being mandatory is still reasonable.

lol... So if a medical doctor got c6 in English language, a miscommunication cannot happen? But if he got D7 or E8 there will be a miscommunication? The same English he used to answer questions on other subjects he passed? Are we going to tell ourselves the truth?

immaculatesense:
Maybe if we are discussing this in the UK or US, maybe. But in Nigeria, you need the four walls of the class to speak good English. That is a FACT.

yes I agree. But do you agree that as a science student, passing English should not be mandatory for my admission? If I get D7 or E8, that should be enough

Ghanaians love us too. We are the GIANT of Africa

immaculatesense:
You are comparing English with Mathematics?
English is a language of general communication among Nigerians and that's why it is important for ALL. That cannot be said of Mathematics.
You talked about Medicine? A Yoruba Medical doctor posted to Hausa speaking environment needs English language as a common ground. English is important in Nigeria because of our multiplicity of languages but that cannot be said of Mathematics.

read my post very well. I'm still saying it that you don't need to see the four walls of the classroom before you can speak English, so it should not be a compulsory subject for the science students. Do you agree with me?

Our security personnel need to act professionally otherwise, this could lead to something very serious.

immaculatesense:
Please, can you tell me why an Art inclined person MUST pass Mathematics?
Even my Dad, at 80, who did not go beyond what is now Primary 2 can calculate money in Millions accurately without finding the (y and x).
Again, tell me. What is the reason why an Art inclined person MUST pass Mathematics? Thanks.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

first of all, I didn't say that art students must pass mathematics, I only said that the minister has not said anything different from the earlier information. That said, I agree that mathematics should not be compulsory but English language as well should not be compulsory for science students, imagine someone couldn't get admission to study medicine just because he got D7 in English language despite passing all other subjects and jamb as well. English language is just a language that can be understood by someone who has never seen the four walls of the classroom, he only needs to be in an English-speaking environment. Even a ten year old kid who lives his life in America or England and didn't go to school will speak English language very well. What do you think about that?

Who could have thought that this would be happening to PDP. At least it wouldn't be this soon, imagine almighty PDP that used incumbent power to rigg elections with their full chest.

horpe132:
It makes sense..... But trust Political Nairalandees

actually it doesn't make any sense. There is no clarification, he just reiterated what was dished out earlier. He still maintains that passing mathematics is not compulsory. Saying that students must register for Mathematics but can fail it doesn't make sense, I don't understand the kind of strange people at the helm of affairs in this country.

After putting in a lot of hard work and expecting something good to come out of it, some animals who prioritize cattle over humans will match down their to feed their cattle. I just can't comprehend, fulanis are evil

Tinubu is underrated, people out of hatred underrate his political mastery. He literally has control over all opposition parties, but he should apply the same skills at governance

Will the drone capture all polling unit and do live transmission?

Of course, ASUU strike protest should be more important issue for them

That man is gambling with his life. He should take proper rest if he's sick

What will remove Tinubu from that office is definitely not election. It gats to be another thing

Benin don score

I don’t know the kind of gas you guys are putting in your cylinders because the price here is half of what you’re quoting. This is today’s price

although I also noticed that the price the quote above is almost doubled the price in my own area, nevertheless, why did the price even go up in the first place? About three years ago or so, we were paying #350 per kg, what that heck happened

If you think too much about Nigeria, you fit just run mad because wetin be all these nonsense wey I read

RISQUE:
Esama of Benin is greater than that Alaafin and the entire people he is leading.

E be like say bomb dey your head

dfrost:
Statistics help to support the argument of whether a country is growing or not in this case. Beatiful course/discipline.

This imply means that Nigeria needs more universities.

you are only looking at the Nigeria population, the number of university we have is enough for those who are ready and willing to attend

SMH seventy-year old man. Why Charles Mwesigwa go dey answer abbey sef

Dennisochampa:
No o... I no get job... U know say na only u dey work and pay taxes.....
When you lots manage to get small money... Una go dey talk anyhow....

But u see people abroad... U want to be like them....

U think they did it by complaining about taxes and evading them always??

If its easy... U sef for Don get money pass dangote

by the way you are stylishly running away from the main argument that (I'm already paying tax from my salary, then subsidy removed shooting up petrol price up to about 500% and then they are now talking about another 5% on the same petrol) shows you don't pay tax or you're probably still a teenager. Address the argument, nobody told you that he wants to be like people abroad, stop deviating from the point of argument. It is okay to lose argument, just accept and move on

Hmm, I don't just understand this our country. Who will now protect the 'nonVIP'
