Did anybody catch 'Melo's heroics last night? Man, homeboy was clutch. He was hitting shots like crazy in the 4th.   By the way, what is it with NBA stars catching fire in the 4th quarter especially after going like 3 for 11 throughout the first 3 quarters.

Lastly i think Lamar Odom has gone loco! This Khloe Kardashian not Heidi Klum why d tattoos? I have seen their agreements and if they ever break up Lamar would end up a very broke man

What?!?!?!?! Lamar did not sign a prenup . Omo i feel very very very sorry for the guy.

it's funny how the career of telfair and lebron have gone separate ways

If only the boy had a jump shot
I remember when bassey (sebastian) was on the cover of SI as being the best high schooler in the country. Homeboy should have just gone to college and played for Rick Pitino so that he would work on him. The year he got drafted there was a debate about who was the better PG, Jameer Nelson or him, everybody said they would go for bassey because he had "upside", well we now know who won that battle.

True Talk. Asian Americans are indeed the 'Model Minority'

For real my brother. In  fact, i think the words asian and excellence should be synonymous with each other.

David, I agree with what you say regarding education at research level--Masters and Doctorate etc. That is why I said  the reason why Asians and Africans come to the west is Research and Financial !! As for professors in both Asia and Nigeria, I have great respect for them as they work with limited resources and facilities. Give them the same as in the west and see what they can do. That is why quite a few top researchers in the west are from Asia and Africa. The government in Ghana funds its universities better but then they have much fewer than Nigeria.Private universities or corporate universities are the answer to funding in Africa and Asia.

Hardly any naija professor ever does research, all they know how to do is to bang female students. Not all research must be done in million dollar facilities like the Lawrence Livermore National laboratory, you can just do basic research on areas like rural agriculture or other issues affecting naija. Our schools are basically known as cramming institutions instead of research institutions: rote memorization is the order of the day, instead of analyzing problems and solving them. Nigerians seem to confuse "hardness" of the material (or syllabus) to learning which is very sad. The fact that 50% of the students fails a class doesn't necessarily mean that the school itself is very good or that the school is the best, it might mean that the professors are incredibly incompetent. Also, simply, because you can write 20 fullscap sheets of paper on exam day doesn't mean that you are intelligent, it just means that you know how to cram, simple as that. This is why we need to revamp our educational system to be more focused on problem solving so that we can compete with the Brazillians, Chinese, Indians and later on the Americans.

I am not saying that rote memorization (cramming) is bad. It is necessary in primary school and even in secondary school because there are some things you need to memorize like formulas and the times table or other basic theories in junior secondary school but in university there should be a transition to applying those theories to solving real problems. Also in a country like naija where most teachers don't know what they are teaching and therefore cannot properly explain certain concepts to the students like arcane concepts in geography like "lacustrine plains" or more popular ones like Newton's Laws of Motion, then cramming might not be necessary.

WOWWWWWWW , finally Nigerians are protesting for there freedoms, unbelievable. I thought the only thing they knew how to do was just complain about it every day and living it to the Almighty himself.

SEFAGO:
I think only asia,

Me too. I don't see any Africans working for top level research labs like Bell Labs and co.

I am happy for the Boston Celtics this season sha.

oyinda and THE AMAKA, na lie. I believe that it is only the opposite sex who should be able to tell who is handsome or not. Just like i can't tell if a guy is handsome or ugly (i don't honestly know what women find attractive in Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt ), then women should not be in the position to tell us guys which girls are attractive because there are certain things that we see in the opposite sex.

THE AMAKA:
not tryna sound like a hater but 80% of the pics he posted were of average looking girls.
the only thing that stood out were their bodies.
or maybe even their light skin that some africans love to drool over.

WHAT?!?!?!? YOU ARE A GIRL, YOU CAN'T BE IN A POSITION TO TELL A BOY WHO IS THE CUTEST GIRL, JUST LIKE AS A BOY, I CAN'T SAY WHETHER MORRIS CHESTNUT IS FINER THAN DENZEL.

yep, this is going to be an awesome season.

Nijasingh:
I agree Asian Education is better than western --the only reason Asians come to the West is to use their education to earn more rewards--financial and research facilities. Africans do for the same reasons!!

Nigerian education is also very good and you can see the results in the high number of qualified Naija people making it in all subjects in the west. The only problem is the fairly recent downturn of Nigerian Universities ( in the last 12-15 years) due to underfunding by Government. This is however being offset by the private universities coming up in Naija!! They are the future of good quality education in Nigeria. Why spend so much to study in the west when private Universities in Naija are much cheaper and even better!! Asian IT colleges are now opening campuses in Ghana.

Education in Asia and Africa (especially Nigeria and Ghana) is very important to us.

Most western companies even prefer to employ graduates from outside western Universities if they want hardworking researchers.

My friend, after doing more research, i would have to admit that Western education is waaaaaaay ahead of Asian education, its not even close. Asian schools are only good for just a bachelors. The bachelors program at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) or China's Tsinghua University is brutal compared to even MIT or Caltech. For more proof, just look at this year's Nobel prize winners, all of them except one woman ( the lady who won for physiology and medicine) who is a researcher at Israel's Weizermann institute. The difference between the Asian schools and the western schools starts at the graduate level (masters and PhD level) because the Asians are still far behind in the level of research that western schools do. The only research institutes/universities that can compete with western schools are the Israeli schools i listed like the Technion Institute or Weizermann Institute. Sorry for misleading anyone sha, the reason i started it was partly to educate our people that if they couldn't afford to go to the west, instead of going to Ghana why not go to malaysia, singapore or India where you can get a much MUCH MUCH BETTER education.

Also, on your assertion that there is no need spending all that money to go to school in the West, omo na lie ooooooo. If you have the money YOU BETTER FIND YOUR WAY TO A STANFORD OR A UC BERKELEY because the gap between those schools and the ones in naija is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo   wide its not even funny. Just go and ask any naija boy who went from OAU to any good school in yanki, they would tell you the difference is very very very clear. Nigerian professors are EXTREMELY HORRIBLE and as bad as the public universities are, THE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES ARE MUCH MUCH MUCH WORSE. I hope that you would one day have the opportunity to come to yanki then you would truly, truly understand how wide the gulf is between our schools and there schools. So my guy, even if you have the cash, you better find your way over here.

I also forgot to tell you to apply to University of Pennsylvania for an MBA, ther program is the best in the world (yes, even better than Harvard).

sagamite, the level of financial literacy on this board is AMAZING. People don't even know what forensic experts are for? Aloyemeka said on the first post that forensics has to do with science and DNA, he does not know that there is something called forensic accounting where you trace very complex frauds.

Omo make una no kill us with those pictures abeg.

@david, teana and co
Pls how did u get the study materials, im also interested

Study materials for what??

The concept of paying taxes is foreign to a lot of Nigerians.

This is unbelievable, in an era where there was only black and white photographs, there are colored pictures of the russian empire in the early 1900's. Incredible.

funkygirl:
i really want to go to Harvard. i dream about it everyday. i'm presently studying for GMAT. guess u guys have seen alot. is there any requirements that Harvard seek so as to aid me in my preparations.

Omo, the key is to study very very hard. If you get a crazy GMAT score then most likely you would get in. Also, when writing the GMAT don't forget to also send your score report to Stanford, Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Northwestern University, Yale, and the University of Virginia. These are other top schools so it won't hurt to apply to this schools.


By the way, YOU BETTER HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO PONY UP FOR THOSE SCHOOLS SHOULD YOU GET ACCEPTED, DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO WORK OFF CAMPUS AND BE ABLE TO PAY YOUR TUITION OR YOU ARE JUST JOKING.

WHERE IS "THE AMAKA" SHE SHOULD COME LOOK AT THIS https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-339449.0.html

I Think Nigeria, Ghana and the other West-Africa countries need Mc Donalds in their home countries
I know they got Mr. Biggs, Nando's, Pizza In and everything but I think it's time for Mc Donalds to step up
But what do you all think ??

[size=28pt]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [/size]

McDonalds poisons Americans. It gives them obesity and later diabetes, its low end food for poor people. I am not a protectionist but i believe that the one thing NIGERIANS SHOULD NEVER IMPORT FROM YANKI is micky d's (nickname for McDonalds).

See how fickle fans are!!!! when this guy won the champs league for you guys you were calling him the savior. Whatever happened to sticking with your man through thick and thin. Rafa is still one of the best coaches in Europe and if he had the same funds that Mourinho and Ferguson had at there clubs don't you think that he wouldn't have won several championships by now? Truth of the matter is that nobody has done more with less than Rafa not even Wenger so quit whining.

By the way, i am an Arsenal fan and i still support Wenger even if we have not won anything in 5 years. You are not going to see my whinning and cursing wenger.

Fernando Torres was injured that's why David Ngog was playing, geez rafa plays a 4-2-3-1 formation but when Gerrard and Torres are injured he has to change the formation to adapt to the kind of players that he has. During the weekend against Sunderland, he tried the 3-4-3 formation which includes 3 center backs but that didn't work out mostly because of the incompetence of the ref. If Gerrard and Torres had been healthy, it would have been another matter.

Am a guy,6ft tall,extremly handsome, will be 30yrs old on the 11th and am still a virgin. U can do it too SEX IS ONLY FOR MARRIED COUPLES.
