I don’t think that Teck bros and sis are responsible for this situation. If LASUTH wants a solution for this, it’s readily available in the market but most public institutions are so backward that even if given them for free, they’ll prefer manual. Same applies to State of Origin certificate. If your state wants to automate it, it’s very simple but they must take responsibility for identifying their citizens.

I totally agree with this as well. It can be terribly frustrating

‎I was at LASUTH to see a doctor. The registration took 1hr +. Nurses on uniforms suddenly became bus conductors shouting patients names at the top of their voice one after the other. We were more than 50 seated at that registration point. It is close to a new building at LASUTH. Sustainable xxxx...I can't really remember the building name, but that experience left me feeling disappointed in our 'Tech gurus'

‎At the moment, i need a state of origin certificate to apply for Access bank graduate trainee program currently running.
‎
‎Guess what?
‎I was told to GO TO THE PHYSICAL OFFICE AT VICTORIA ISLAND, to get it, or to go to an office in my village in the southeast to get it. I'm in Lagos typing this.
‎
‎I really hope Access bank HR and other related bodies are reading this, because I might have to decline applying for their Graduate Traineeship. And trust me, I'm smart enough for them to want me to choose them.

‎Parents are working 9-5 jobs, while their children are even more hardworking than their parents, working 7:45am -5pm schools.
‎In a school in Ekiti state, each senior secondary student offer 13 -16 subjects. This is not hearsay. Trust me. I served as a corper in one of the schools. And after school closes by 3:30pm, they're told to wait for a compulsory extra lesson while lasts till 5pm. And it's not a free lesson. It's paid for by their parents. Imagine parents paying for their children suffering. Truly, the love of parents triumphs.
‎
‎So children spend Monday - Fridays (7:45am - 5pm) in schools learning 13 subjects, and on Saturdays, they're probably completing their notes or doing 13 different assignments, and then on Sundays, they go to church, rest for some hours and resume school on Monday. And one would expect success independent of theoretical speechification from these children.

‎JSS1 - 3 = 3yrs
‎SS1- 3= 3 yrs
‎That's 6yrs on average

6 years of depression, bought and paid for by parents for their children. And I haven't even included the stress from university lecturers who were forced to study a particular course by their parents or society, and after realizing the disappointment of not following their dreams, become sadists, amongst others, who aim to frustrate students with their chants of  "A is for me, B is for your HOD, C are for my loyal students. You can distribute the failures generously amongst yourself"

So you see. It's a snake that eats its own tail.
The university lecturers were once children. The tech Bros and Girls too were once children. But now, each and everyone is either focused on milking these children, who they once were, or ignoring them completely, with silly comments like "school made me tough, if not, I would not be who I am today"

No. Being who you are made you come as a child to suffer in the Nigeria education system so you can be sensitized, through suffering, to create a platform to reduce the suffering of others when the time comes.

What happened to using technology to alleviate the suffering of children through the introduction of a passion+brain-friendly scheme, across all levels, from Primary to University.

1) Mondays- Wednesday = Classroom

2) Thursdays- Fridays= Online lectures

3) The presence of equipped and numbered guidance counselors whose job is to study a child and try understand where their passion lies, so that their education will be tailored to what they find joy doing. A hairdresser has no primary business learning geography, neither does a DJ have any primary business learning 'almighty formula'

This tailored form of leaning reduces the number of subjects that students are exposed to and secondly, it reduces the 7:45am - 5pm jobs that students work in schools. Now schools can comfortably close by 12-1 pm, even on Mondays because of the reduced work load of the students.
And mind you, when this efficiency has been created in learning, the free time of children should not be filled with more schoolwork/assignments because of a pathetic saying that "an idle mind is the devil's workshop"

6) A course in AI/ prompt engineering to enable students appreciate the fact that suffering isn't hardwork when they're able to swiftly generate an AI picture with precise prompt engineering, compared to a conventional graphics designer that spends decades on it.

7) Ban the physical submission of notes or handouts, especially for marks.

Also ban lecturers from physically selling handouts to students. A lecturer with an Innovative solution, be it in paperback, should copyright or patent it and lease it to students through the school education authority who thoroughly screens and approves it for sale at a very subsidized fee to students in ebook format. The sheer volume of students demands in campuses around Nigeria should compensate for the price reduction. There should be a digital right management thoroughly applied to the ebook to disable copying and mass production.
These amongst other solutions

To wrap this post up, Nigeria has become a nation where suffering is being seen as hardwork. We've become so used to seeing as "suffering= good person/hardworking" and "not suffering= bad person/lazy"
But suffering is not hardwork. The morality of continued hardwork is the morality of slaves. I've written about this here on nairaland.
Do find time to look it up, at your convenience of course.

I'm open to hearing your suggestions on how schools can be efficient, especially in Nigeria so that the coming generations don't go through the suffering we passed through while in school

Very well said particularly now that AI is here to improve workflow

Unnecessary pressure that makes young men do the unthinkable.

Go to the nearest cloth store, clean up and change into new outfits

True

Quelme:
The coke sniffing midget will be thought a generation lesson. Don't mess with the Bear.

The UK when carry the matter for head before, don drop sanctions when hand meet them.

Aren't they both midgets?

Wonderful. Unbelievable at best

How can we support the burial arrangements?

JuanDeDios:
Lol. If I hear of anything, you'd be the first to know.

Will do

JuanDeDios:
If you're 50, try opening the Stanbic Elder Account. No charges at all. All others, I can't say.

Many thanks for this info. Any suggestions for those under 50

Ten06:
The charges on my savings account in GTB is higher than the deductions from my other savings account

I observed this as well. Suggest another good bank please

If you need the social interaction, there are places that will help you to meet more people and make friends such as churches, work place, sports club etc. Be civil and polite. Don't force it otherwise you will be burnt out.

Egonaejeije. Enough said

Elove1:
This drugs is not a vaccine by just a prep that’s goes out of ur body after 6months

Understood. Was referring to the hesitancy

DomPerignon:
It's free because the manufacturers of the drug are using Anambra people as guinea pigs to test the efficacy and safety of their product.

COVID-19 Vaccine hesitancy comes to mind

Mandem05:
Na only dat one? Show us pictures of the "STATE OF THE ART" KINI na!

Would like to see that as well

Hard to believe the story

AI doing the most. Most orgs are now changing their UIs practically on a daily basis, no thanks to AI. Not advisable.

Sweetheart, you dodged a bullet. Be glad

No surprises there plus they have given the world a cheat code to defeat America.

Why does he need it open? This is strange

wonlasewonimi:
All they do is buy rubbish.

My thoughts exactly

No surprises there

QuinQ:
Yes but pertinent to the discussion at hand

I agree. My first impression was this but it is so rare and shouldn't be used as the poster child.for hiv

akpumping7720:
You have to think deeply with that my response to your comments to be able to process it.

I did. Came up with nothing

Greed

piriton:
Currently there is HIV vaccine in every state in Nigeria that you can take twice a year to prevent HIV infection

True. This doesn't get enough publicity but it is very important

Yes. Through aggressive kissing

Wotowotoman:
Wow. What an achievement. Clap for yourself

Just did. Learnt a lot from his post but of course I understand that not everyone is capable of learning anything new particularly if the total word count is above 50.

If this were a sane place, I would have encouraged you to forge ahead but there is nothing sane about the environment that we live in. Good luck

Something similar happened to me and this was in an online space outside of Nigeria. Spoke up about an anomaly and was hastily removed as well.

Wotowotoman:
I doubt say anybody go read this epistle. It is the longest epistle I have ever seen on Nairaland. Please learn to be concise and straight to the point. Haba!

Oh I read it. It was brillantly well written

akpumping7720:
Polyandry is fading away in Nepal and northern India. Men are polygamous in nature.
