special training? UYCO, so the special training is for polytechnics lecturers only. I will rest my case with you because you have no clue about both universities and polytechnics. First, even multinational companies know that university graduates are better than the polytechnic graduates. General electric only accept Bachelor's degree and others too. Latest NUC vacancies didn't include polytechnic graduates. A lot of university graduates have taught you during ur days at PTI. Even when are doing the work at the field, they still earn more than you and be your boss. In FG jobs, level seven is waiting for you and retired at 14. lastly, if you found yourself in the university tomorrow as a lecturer bell me anytime let me include you for the special training in abroad for you to know it is not only the polytechnic lecturers that are taken for special training in abroad. Bye and stop the aggravation because you still earn less than the graduates

UYCO:
@Edo boy, when you engage in intellectual discussion, please learn to create good premises before making conclusion. You are just making assertion without any fact to substantiate your claim. I have given you reasons why I think polytechnic education is better for Nigeria at this stage of our national development. All you have done is to make baseless assertions that are not logical. Most core lecturers in the polytechnic passed through the polytechnic system . Those who didn't pass through the polytechnic system spend between six to ten years to adapt to the polytechnic system of education. Others are sent abroad for special training. My lecturer told me that he spent about 10 years learning the polytechnic system of education before he could effectively lecture. Just the way most PhD holders and professors who passed through the polytechnic system are lecturing in the University. For your information, my ultimate goal in life is to become a university lecturer. Will that change my polytechnic background?

. UYCO, u are talking gibberish OK. trash, Absolute Trash. TETFUND are responsible for training lecturers abroad. The number of university lecturers trained in abroad are more than the polytechnic lecturers. You don't have axiomatic facts. I know a lot about Nigerian education than you as far my root tied with Tetfund guy. Stop lying young man. I always sit with these lecturers on daily basis. A lot of then are from the universities. The number of UNIBEN lecturers trained in abroad by TETFUND is more than ones trained in Auchi polytechnic which is the best polytechnic in west Africa

@ UYCO, If you people are better, accepted but let me ask you some questions. Who are they people lecturing polytechnics Students? 90% of the lecturers at Auchi polytechnic graduated from UNIBEN or Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Edo state. Those who are HND holders as lecturers are either doing their PGD at UNIBEN or AAU yet you see them bragging. After their PGD, they will register for their too. Na condition makes craft fish bend. Guy, u can't compare College of Education and polytechnics and that is how you can't compare universities and polytechnics.

You focus more on application of mathematics to solve real world problems. How many problems have you used it to solve the engineering mathematics? Auchi polytechnic is the best polytechnic in west Africa and elder brother finished from there. When I talk about engineering, he listens very well OK. My Professor who taught me for many years was a consultant to PTI . Guy forget that thing OK. Nigerian institutions are not helping graduates in this country. In Nigeria, it is help your yourself with the right knowledge and practicals needed in the industry. Even as a PTI product when you get to the industry, you will be on probation for six months or one year training. Some PTI products are hurting for jobs very well. Which discipline did u study at PTI?

people are attending Uniben, UI, Futa, Futo, ABU, Unilag, OAU etc. Some of you think anybody that graduate from the polytechnic is good and the best. Knowledge is by your seriousness and commitment.

UYCO:
If you feel University graduates are better , the best way to prove it is through examination by way of aptitude test for both poly and university graduates. If only University graduates pass the examination then employ or promote them. University graduates are running away from examination as a way of determining their superiority. For the avoidance of doubt, I am a product of the great Petroleum Training Institute

. Tell us where are you working as a polytechnic graduate! yours is mono polytechnic.

UYCO:
There are so many PhD holders and professors in my school. Mind you, having professors in school does not automatically make a student intelligent. It is hard work and self development that makes one outstanding.

. Polytechnic? you are still day dreaming. what is the name of your school? Tell us, I will verify it now.

philchudi:
How can one compare primary and secondary school?
How many Doctors (PhD) and professors do polytechnics have?

. Ask CYCO for me.

@ CYCO, you are still learning OK. You thought university graduates don't have practicals knowledge. Just laughing in 3D. I guess you studied engineering. Those who don't know anything always make the loudest noise like empty vessel makes d loudest noise

UYCO:
I have not seen any University graduate can compete with me in terms of practical and theory. This is in addition to the fact that I got the best result from the technical college I attended before gaining admission into the polytechnic. I gained admission into the polytechnic with nine credit which is clearly above University requirement. Those half baked graduates from the University who combine two results to get five credit cannot claim superiority over me. I have never accepted it and I will not accept it. I have written a letter to my permanent secretary that the scheme of service is a fraud perpetrated by University graduates to undermine polytechnic education. This fraud must be corrected for peace to reign in the education sector. Let me borrow from the law of equilibrium which states that when an imbalance is created in a system in equilibrium, there must be a continuous reaction until the balance is restored. We will continue to agitate until the balance is restored. Whether I have gotten MSC or not I will continue to support the call for parity because there no evidence to suggest that University graduates are better. I will tell why HND is better than BSc taking into consideration the state of the Nigerian economy later.

. It is where your knowledge end that is where someone else started from. This debate has been defeated long ago.

ok

Choi, Sir na play o, e neva reach to comot CV.
hmm, I neva knew

. Apart from the elementary stage of drilling, petroleum engineers have no value. Companies prefer geologists than petroleum engineers. Mechanical and Electrical engineering are more broad than petroleum engineering. Graduates who studied petroleum engineering at their first degree are shifting base because we have other renewable energy sources. Apart from the oil and gas industry, they have no other place to be absorbed.

Geesanni:
BRO E BE LIKE SAY U JST SPEAK WETIN DEY MY MIND,4 MY CLASS OF 120 STUDENTS AS PETROLEUM ENGINEER,NA ONLY 2-5 PPLE DEY OIL COMPANY AS OF EVEN GUESSING.EVEN OUR IST CLASS STUDENT DEY UNEMPLOYED.PETROLEUM ENG IS D WORST COURSE TO DO EVER because IT IS TOO ONE SIDED.

. You don't know anything about Petroleum Engineering. It is a one-sided course. Apart from the oil and gas industry, u can never be employed in any where. forget about petroleum and face reality. Mechanical and Electrical/electronic engineers more employed than petroleum engineers because they can work in any industry

and how did these SANS get there.
Lawdy, lawdy the ignorance today is on another level.
every succesful professional you see today, started from somewhere little- the journey is part of the fun.
next advice people not to give birth because raising children is expensive.

. I am viewing the possibility as a fresh graduate of law getting a good job without being a SAN, it is impossible in naija. One of my aunty friends, she is regretting of studying Law. Mind u, the diabolical aspect is still involve if not you are not going any where. James Bola Ngilari Lawyer then, he is from my place so I know what I am taking about.

sade1994:
Nna na wa o
Every thread these days is just pointing against law..
And my junior brother who is currently in ss3 art class had been advised by me to study law which he took whole heartedly.

Op, is law that bad? Is the chance of making money from law very slim?
Before I'll mislead the poor boy.

. I can't advice someone to study law in Nigeria. Check all the whole cases in Nigeria , they are all SANS. Saraki 90 SANS and Buhari certificate case then15 SANS. Governorship elections cases in Tribunal to appeal to Federal court then to supreme courts are all SANS. So, a fresh graduate has never been hired for a governorship case in naija. Wike VS Dankuku case, all the lawyers were all SANS. So if u are not a SAN, u are good as nothing. People will always go for lawyers (SANs) with antecedents of many cases of victory.

In my opinion, the problem we have is because Nigeria not an industrialised Nation like Japan and Germany where engineers are highly in demand. if Nigeria finally industrialise maybe in the 25th century, we will not have a lot of sufficient man power then. OP forgot Architecture as a lucrative course. People studying it are very few and the architects are self-employed. they are highly in demand in the constructive industry.

Have you heard of CyberSecurity Science in futminna....

. my friend is doing his master in CyberSecurity Science in Malaysia and he studied computer science at Futminna.

Rejoice Oh Nigerians, for the power of God is coming down from Heaven like a lightning to liberate our nation. I see new a Nigeria with different people with the right mentality. Now it is our turn. Histroy is still being made and the eyes of Heaven are upon us. Take your place. Take the stand for your generation and for your nation as we continue to turn the world to the light and truth found in God. Refuse to allow any fear or torment to cloud your vision for God. Refuse to allow any fear or torment to cloud your vision for Nigeria. Refuse to cower or allow evil to silence your voice in Nigeria. It is high time the youth should take over Nigeria from our octogenarians and septuagenarians. I foresee God raising new roaring reformers to liberate Nigeria from the bondage of our politicians. I foresee God raising new generational roaring reformers of JOSHUAs from all nooks and crannies that will liberate Nigeria from the shackle of corruption, budget paddling, economic hardship, militancy, oppression, and from the evil in the heart of men. The Moses in Aso Rock can't take us to the Promised Land but he will take us to cross the red sea. The liberate might not be easy but at the end we shall be liberated. Good morning my fellow Nigerians

Experience all the way

Nice

bass7:
nice

. Thanks

When I read graduates' posts here, I am so dumbfounded. Someone couldn't differential between copies and pages. Wow!! At this level. If your discipline is not there, stop asking irrelevant questions here.

For interview

nasiest:
But people and over sabi eh...a good application letter shouldn't be more than 5-6 lines plus ur e-mail n phone number is already on ur cv na.just saying

. That application letter is very Short compared to the ones I have seen. When I was with somebody who was working one the parastatals that is what I observed about the many application letters that passes through his table. They said hand written application letter not a typed letter. Always sign before sending

gommex:
beautiful n straight to d point

. Thanks

That job advert was very clear to you all. How can someone asked a question," can HND holders apply?" According to the advert, I only saw Second Class Lower Division which is for B.sc holders. Even B.Sc with third class and pass can't apply.
