As for that, when you read my name in the tabloids or watch me on your TV, you will then get your answers

So stop killing other people's morale and be positive about your people's capabilities
My brother stop being mealy-mouthed and circumventing the question.
What can you create or design as an electrical engineer that graduated from a Nigerian uni?
If what you're claiming to produce is outside the field of elect engr., then you absolutely learnt nothing from school based on your field.

The first thing in wiki about E.E is "Electrical engineers design complex power systems ..."
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Power_plant.jpg
Can you create such^^? (See image below) Heck do you even know the working mechanism of that? I don't think so.

Not to be spiteful but electrical engineering is the most wack course in most uni. Except if you're among the lucky few that there uni offer it with electronics..3ple E.
It's only wires you guys cary up & down looking for the nearest house to burn grin
Hope I haven't stepped on your toe, but you keep proving the OP right. All you have to do is admit it. Most of us here went to the uni you know wink

Don't know where you got your information that the only thing I know is this?
You should have known that I was generalizing to drive a point home and didn't actually meant you in particular undecided
If you were unable to make use of what you were taught in your uni or if u were a victim of lazy lecturers, pls do not add me to your category of person.

I know what I got out of the uni, I know what my lecturers gave me, and I know the value of my education.
Do you know why I quoted you? It was because of your statement here:
"and a mech engrs job is not to fix cars pls but to design, create , and optimize . fixing stuff is for technologists. "
Can you create & design a car? Sorry the tire of a car? Even to the lowest standard??
If yes then you learnt something in the uni studying mech eng.. If no, then my brother you went there to read & cram textbook just like everyone else undecided

To me, desist from is like i should stop doing what im used to...

You could have used the statement [s] "Dont disseminate false information" [/s] instead of "Desist from".

Desist from also means Abstain.
No it will be very wrong if I tell you "Dont disseminate false information" . Am not giving a forewarning because you're already guilty of the act. I can only tell you that to forewarn you.

E.g: Don't steal--Means you haven't stolen, so am advising not to steal.
Stop stealing--Means you're already guilty of the act even if it's once. So am advising here to stop or cease from the act.

Hope you grab undecided

But why are people fond of correcting someone in nl..?
Someone tried that with me yesterday and I flogged him mercilessly cheesy If you want to show off then get your facts right and look for possible loopholes.

Where are only going to school to collect certificate.I am a programmer,but i never studied programming in any university,i studied biology.so you can see they are not related.learning a skill is far, far, beyond the four wall of a university.
Nice one..and absolute truth!
Even our medical doctors that have a special school (in the sense of med school) are still not professionals.
Most of them just have knowledge in general medicine and are not surgeons.
Our surgeons got their skills by studying outside the country.
The only thing most of them know is to prescribe a long sheet of medication even before you finish narrating your ailment with that yeye handwriting cheesy
That's the only skill they got which is not even their job but the job of a pharmacist.

Education still helps you in term of reading and writing and to assimilate too during the period you acquired the skills.
Yeah education is good, but getting the right one is the best. You might probably not get it in the university. Can you mention just one thing ever made that the inventor learnt from the 4 walls of a university? ABSOLUTE NOTHING. is it electricity, bulbs, oracle, pascal, C++, Microsoft tools, linux, cars, clothes, even facebook cheesy

Schooling is good nonetheless, but acquring real skills & being creative is better.
Create and others will teach your stuff in school.
Be a graduate and help the non-graduates in developing their skills grin An irony right?

*But before someone reads this post & decides to drop from school, know that everyone can't be an inventor or the world won't work. Everything must surely be balanced. But aspire to be creative wink


Hope you are not doing "Yahoo" or "GEE".
Yahoo is an email platform & I have an account there.
If you meant duping, that requires time which I don't have.

Sincerely speaking, you are a layman here so you have nothing to offer. Read my first post. You are just arguing blindly.

Which course did you study? let me assess you and know if you have contributed to the society or solved a problem not complex problem. I have contributed to the society and solved complex problems.
Hahaha I didn't say you haven't contributed to the society or solved problems, neither did I insinuate that sir. I'm just doing a comparison.
Knowing the course I studied wouldn't help anything.
But if you must know it's computer science and I don't even remember I have a degree there cheesy I generate my money fully online sir, without pains, sweat or waisting precious time.
Heck what did I even learn there? Nothing! I left the uni with no programming skills, just loads of textbooks and how to on & shut down a computer cheesy
Nothing tangible angry

I learnt the skills I now have elsewhere and online. It was after I left the uni I realised how I wasted lots of time & money. Nigerian university educational system is just wack angry

We have Toyota Manual we consult. We only consult toyota manual when we have complex problems. We deal on latest cars with modern technology.
Very good. Thanks for admitting that you use textbooks & manuals when faced with complex problems. A road side mechanic will just use his critical thinking to solve the problem easily.

I hope you know that the first person to ever design a mechanical car didn't grab instructions from a book.
I have the experience than a roadside mechanic young man. Read my early posts, I have been with them and worked with the roadside mechanics before I rose to this level. For now, with my voluminous experience, they can't dare me because I have the knowledge, experience, theory and I am educated too.

I do diagnose cars for some of them and they pay me well. They can't interpret "fault codes".
Okay you have worked with a road side mech. Very cool. You have shown us that the university didn't teach you anything, but you got your experience from a roadside mech, then used your cert to get a job. Kudos, now I know you think outside the box wink

Hahaha, u have no fact. You are full with animosity. I have seen a lot of road mechanics. The kind of machines or equipment I am expose to don't have a dine of knowledge of them.

There are some cars they can't work on.
When I talk, they listen attentively.

When I want to start my own company, I will have it in big way. I do professional home services for the rich at my own leisure time.
people like you can't service or repairs their cars I where I work because you are clouded with poor mentality. Your expressions are full with animosity.
I have worked with top government functionaries young man.
Aah aah! Why sir? I bear no acrimony against you my good sir. This is just about our Nigerian university educational system being a waste of time or not. Open your company & I will surely patronize you if am close by cool

Until you become innovative, I can't rate you above a road side mechanic. You might be educated, but he has the experience and can source for solution with his critical thinking when a dire problem arises unlike you that will be consulting a textbook grin
Let me just mention a few here, Elizade Motors, Coshari, Larrel Shittu Motors, Kojo Motors etc. You can't service your car in any of the above. You don't even have a car. The company has five branches in Nigeria and I am in the Abuja branch.
Go and do research about Toyota Motor Corporation divisions in Nigeria
Oh good. Just that I was shocked that you, a mechanical engineer working with a car company is also working with a garri factory cheesy

First, I am not a salesman because I am not in the sales department.
My work includes maintenance management of vehicles, services, diagnosis, repairs, troubleshooting, assembly, disassembly and using computer to diagnose vehicles and interpret "trouble codes" or "fault codes".
I see no real difference btw you & a road side mechanic, but I bet you that a road side mechanic will be far more experienced than you in the mechanic work you're rendering cheesy
The only difference I see is that while the road side mechanic be the owner of his company cool , you're working for someone. & I don't think the pay is good else you won't be a "Jack of all trade".

Bloody face?? That's alright, it's better than to be an atheist. Very much better.
I used "bloody face to exaggerate the right in front of your face you mentioned. What miracle was that again? Yeah short arm growing long cheesy grin

The last time I went to the hospital, it was like hell to me! My faith is that I SHALL NOT BE SICK AGAIN, let alone getting healed after falling sick.
You know, you didn't really answered my question. I know you have hope like many people not to fall sick AGAIN.
Hope you won't circumvent this one. I will try to be elaborate enough.
When seriously sick or injured (not a headache or some mild fever, scratch etc.), do you take medications or offer prayers to be healed??


Nb: 1) I Bolded seriously to avoid lies to some extent because we all know that headaches can go in a twinkle & not by the power of Amadioha.

Thanks young man. There is nothing like "faulty Machineries" but "Faulty Machinery". It is an uncountable now like information (not informations), aircraft (not aircrafts), sheep (not sheeps), equipment (not equipments) etc.
Like seriously?? cheesy Oh my I would have given you 6 strokes of cain for the goof you made by labelling it wrong. My kind sir, machineries is sooo correct as a word. Engineering students have suffered so much in the hands of people on their use of English. Don't add to it biko grin
First, I don't work in a cassava milling factory. even though I am working there with a good pay in the recession, thanks to God for the provision of that. Garri is too expensive in this recession now. so, cassava milling factories in this country are making it big with more profit.
There's a reason I used [ ] when I mentioned the cassava milling factory. I didn't mean you work there, just insinuating to drive a point but seems am right grin
Now look at the bolded, what are you saying? You don't work there but you are working there angry You are going & coming?? Anyway I gat your gist wink
I am working with one of Toyota Motor Corporation divisions in Nigeria. We are affiliated to Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan. We deal on all Toyota vehicles including Lexus. Sometimes, we assemble here in Nigeria at the workshop. I work under AC with a demarcated transparent glass , the other side of it we have plasma and the customer lounge.

I hardly use spanners for loosening and tightening bolts and nuts. We use a tyre gum for that which is also known as Rotary Machine.
You just succeeded in telling us that you're a sales man...smh angry And I thought that you're creating & designing screws.

Hope you understand me now.

No, that's not what I am saying. It is universally advisable to seek medical attention when necessary. But, when people say it is dangerous to believe in God for healing miracles, which really happens, there comes my question on the imperfection of sciences.

It is just like telling me that since God didn't offer healing to your late mum, that healing prayer is useless. When I know that I have seen some instantaneous immediate miracles like an IMMEDIATE STRETCHING of a very short left arm RIGHT ON MY FACE while the pastor was individually praying for the sick one, which the person telling me that prayer doesn't work have not seen. Now my problem with the person's claim doesn't start here.

It starts when he denies all possibility of miracles both the ones I have witnessed RIGHT ON MY FACE and the ones people have claimed AND THEN try to brainwash me to believe that science is the best.
....
Okay. I don't want to dabble into a long argument with you on the miracles you have witnessed right in front of your bloody face cheesy
So I will ask a quick question: When seriously sick, do you take medications or offer prayers?
