Why would some people choose not to have sense? I brought down the post immediately someone made mention of the fact that it was someone else's write up, made a public apology, even tried reaching NwaAmaikpe, so what the Bleep does ur thick dull skull suggest i do?

bana91, try and face life with fun and don't be serious. It will help you live longer. I was only pulling your legs. Your outrage wasn't necessary. You honestly think I will leave my vocation and start looking for you? Com'on bruh. I have better things to do.

All comments was to put you in check stylishly. NwaAmaikpe is the clown of Nairaland and every kingdom needs a clown. (Not literally saying NwaAmaikpe is a clown though).

Shalom.

Day 1:

NwaAmaikpe has not updated. This is becoming serious.

bana91, I don't who you are but I will find you and beat silly out of your stealing hands. Go and find NwaAmaikpe now else...

Adamsynox:
So NwaAmaikpe fans plenty like this. All I know is, you can't like him more than I do # from a die hard fan of the prophet of bitter and ugly truth#[/color]

Take back seat for danfo joor. You can't like him more than I do too.

#Just joking

Explorers this table you are shaking?

Don't call us when EFCC, DSS, ICPC, Customs, Police, Army, Airforce, Civil Defence, Traffic Warden, LASTMA, LAWMA and FRSC all come for your head.

a liberal Christian while Ambode is a staunch Christian.

Una don come again. E wo ni liberal Christian ati staunch Christian?

seunmsg:
This is really funny. My Yoruba peeps can be so hilariously optimistic.

Not only Yoruba peeps. Some people embrace this school of thought.

But you can't fault them. It all depends on circumstance and preferences.

Ipob youths this is your news, leave Lagos primaries for d Yorubas.

You people will not kill me with your fight.

Thieves, thieves, thieves everywhere... No morality whatsoever. 99% of Nigerians lack morals. Imagine not crediting the source. Ole buruku

NwaAmaikpe please listen to the pleas of most of us. We don't need this lacuna at this point in time.

ednut1:
na joke o

Better because I've always acknowledged your comments on a +ve side. Don't let it slide.

ednut1:
People like this deserve to be killed and fed to the pigs. Useless mofo. He earns 6 figure salary e no get mortgage and car repayments ba. Idiot

Haba ednut1, that going to far. But the lady is materialistic fa. Kai!

enemyofprogress:
God I still dey here dey wait for you o, because of you, I no dey fornicate and lie again, I have even stopped making comments on nairaland the forum of sinners, so please answer my prayers too biko

I don die wake up again.

NwaAmaikpe:



It's not Okorocha's fault.
I don't blame the politicians enriching only themselves and screwing with the future of this country.

I blame the Lilliputian-brained people who have been brainwashed to think elections should be about their preferred political party winning when it should be about the most efficient of all the contestants getting to serve.

There's a long way to go.
And till the masses realize that power belongs to the people, buffoons like Okorocha will continue to ridicule that prestigious word "leadership".

NwaAmaikpe is back.

chikachuks1:
I understand your concept friend. But before we talk of employing fresh graduates, check this article titled "Why Nigerian graduates are unemployable". if fresh graduates can beat the points presented in the article then I recommend them.
https://infoducation.com.ng/why-nigerian-graduates-are-unemployable/

Thanks chikakchuks1. I like this type of discussion. Quite some time I engaged in a meaningful conversation in NL.

Back to the topic. Most current Nigerian graduates are unemployable honestly. As the thread goes on, we will see.

24hoursreporter:
That is not true bro. Most Nigerian graduates are smart.

Please mate don't even go there.

gurnam:
It’s not a hidden secret the people that are his backbone.

Okay

Just tell us your brother in law donated these items, no point hiding such.

Haba? You know the guy before?

You mean "dreadlocks"?

Morality is not a commodity in Nigeria. Scarce is not the word to be used for it.

mapet:
Bros,

1. You humbled me. I apologise for my jabs.
2. Let's even dissect this point of yours.....we all can learn a thing or two
3. While I appreciate your genuine concern that we should have and probably explore Nigerian alternatives first (reference to Professors of Engineering), we also need to understand the consequences of our present predicament. Let me explain this below

We have not developed a National philosophy and value system. The Chinese is a society that we should learn from. They built everything up from the philosophy and value system. The built their culture, their way of living and their future aspirations on this. The government constantly communicates this to the people through the media, schools (formal & informal), families etc.

The Chinese regonized they had a quest to become a global leader in virtually all ramification. They did not just wake up to become a global giant; they planned for it and actioned it. The Chinese developed their education and business structures around what they knew and what they could rapidly learn from the west. When the "western" businesses went to China, Chinese workers learnt their technology and replicated it. Even though their initial attempts were deemed fake, they still persisted until they mastered it and got better at it. China's naval force is about the 3rd best in the world today. While the world were unaware, China bought a "knocked-down" Carrier from Ukraine, towed it through a longer distance to avoid the suspicion of America and Russia. The repaired the Carrier and brought it back to life. Lo & Behold! China instantly became one of the countries that have a Carrier. They reverse-engineered it and built a second Carrier that is bigger, stronger and better than the first. In a span of less than 2-decades, China became a top 3 in Naval force......

Let's come to Nigeria and contrast against China. We are doing the opposite. We have not as a nation defined a philosophy, an acceptable value system and a commonly agreed future for ourselves. We have lost so much ground in Science and Technology, only recently have we realised that we need to double-up. These Nigerian alternatives (professors) that you refer to, you will be surprised that many of them are living in "yesteryears". They can hardly survive outside their local campuses and simply cannot do business. I do understand they need more govt and private sector support, but unfortunately the world is so connected that Nigerian private sectors could be sponsoring researches of a South African professor if it fits into their aspirations.

Secondly, We do not have any Nigerian conglomerates of that magnitude that can out-compete these Chinese companies in bidding for jobs at this levels; not even a Dangote. These Chinese companies don't just go to bid for jobs, they are backed by the Chinese govt whose strategy is to use this Chinese companies as vehicels to make inroads into developing nations and foster bi-lateral (neo-unilateral) partnerships. A friend (ex-Shell) told me he once led a team to bid for Oil blocks in Angola some years ago. He was shocked how CNOC beat Shell to the deal. He later realised that CNOC was not only there to bid for Oil Block, but was Chinese govt's strategy to make inroad into Angola. So CNOC sweetened their deal with additional incentives (roads and rail infrastructure in Oil producing communities).

So within this analysis, I hope you can see the impetus for China to have rapidly developed their engineering expertise among many other areas. The question is, Have our leaders looked at things from this perspectives? Let me add a Nigerian example. In the 90s during the Civil wars in Liberia, Serra Leone & other UN-backed peace keeping efforts, Nigeria almost single-handedly went to restore peace in these countries through ECOMOG and successfully did so. After the war, aside from few greedy investments of Babangida and Abacha, we simply left. We did not even stay to take active part in their rebuilding process. South Africa that contributed practically nothing to the war came to take the "economic-spoils" after we left. South African businesses, schools, Super-markets and banks went into these countries and took foot-hold, something Nigeria could have done. It was not until post-Soludo Banks Recapitalization initiative that our banks started making forays into these African countries.

So back to your initial question. Can we have Nigerian alternatives (Nigerian Engineering firms and Professors)? Absolutely Yes! but it will have to take a painstaking rebuilding process. These are my takes

1. Our small/medium scale businesses must consolidate. We cannot compete with these international companies, primarily because they have a huge financial war-chest that we don't have

2. Our Educational system must be strategic and tailored. We need to ask ourselves pertinent questions like, How many Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers etc should we have "per-capita"? "How many Plumbers, Welders, Electricians etc should we train and certify in the next 10yrs"? How many skill-development institutions should we have as a minimum per-local-govt? What is volume of funding can drive our aspiration and what portions should come from govt and private sector?

3. Govt needs to come in and help. Most Chinese conglomerate are actually govt funded and stimulated institutions. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce gets investible funds (I understand this fund is pushing up to a trillion Dollars) from govt through which they make available to Chinese conglomerate for strategic purposes. Chinese govt got small companies to combine forces to ward-off western incursions. In some cases govt fund a local company up to match foreign competition. Look at the case of CNN vs. CCTV. Why can't our govt get Channels TV, AIT, TV Continental to combine forces with govt facilitated funding to fight DSTV? Same model can then be replicated in areas of infrastructure, road and ports construction, Medicine, Agric, Oil and Gas etc. OBJ govt tried to do this with the Transcorp experiment but greed later set in and things fell apart.

Let me pause here to invite folks to contribute

@dfrost

dontbothermuch mapet

Thanks for the invite. First of all I appreciate men that always apologize. It shows the real character and strength of such a man.

Now to the matter at hand. I can't say further than [b]mapet [/b]has dropped. Which begets the questions:

1. What exactly is our philosophy as a nation?
2. What is our value system?
3. What is our selling point as a country? E.g. India (medical), Germany (quality machines), Brazil (football nation)

I've tried to answer these questions myself but it seems elusive. Individually we have talents but collectively we seems to compete unnecessarily against each other. Until we define our philosophy as a nation, we will remain stagnant.

theunnamed and Opinionated, somehow una wan try derail the topic abi? Nice narrative by the way.

oluwasegun007:

Our opinion is strictly OURS not YOURS. How e dey do you for body say men love Benz? Stick to your Nissan abeg. It's Benz or nothing girl.

Benz or nothing. I agree with you albeit I don't personally own one. German cars anyday, anytime. #If you know, you know.

German cars are not for the fainthearted.
