Fhemmmy: Oh for sure. The justice system in Nigeria needs help badly but yea like you said I'm not sure she understands a lot of things (I don't claim to btw), which is another problem I have with this video - people who think the solution is as simple as abc and once X Y Z is done, then were set (a lot of my friends in the diaspora think like this) It doesn't work that way. 1 Like |

Fhemmmy: Hmmm I dig what you are saying and I guess you are right. But me being a youth, I am not moved by this and this video is not going to make me do anything. (I don't speak for all the youths out there though so...) but I get what you saying though. It might make one or two people to get up and do something. Fair |
Travel / Re: A Shocking Video Of A Nigerian Abroad by Egbagirl(f): 1:39pm On Aug 07, 2013 |
Oh! And I disagree about her last words about the rallying and justice system. So because there is no justice system, people can't protest injustice and demand justice anymore? Huh How do you want them to demand justice among other things? |
Travel / Re: A Shocking Video Of A Nigerian Abroad by Egbagirl(f): 1:36pm On Aug 07, 2013 |
Fhemmmy: She is definitely not trying to get people to do something. That's not her intention. I mean I guess really if doesn't matter what the intent is as long as something is done yea? However, this video seems more like a "I'm glad I left that place" and "I don't ever wanna go back" type of video. Abeg na her wahala o jare. But honestly though, I'm curious to know when she left Nigeria. Lol. |

There are many ways to express concern over the same issues. I'm not saying that those problems don't exist. Of course they do, I mean it's not the first time people will complain about such. My ish is the way she did it. Hers is a tone of disgust and contempt and "I can't stand that place". "Why would I leave Nigeria" 1 Like |

chukyrooy: But when she feels this way about Nigeria, she might as well claim another identity now or? |
Travel / Re: A Shocking Video Of A Nigerian Abroad by Egbagirl(f): 5:14am On Aug 06, 2013 |
Tbh, I could only beat to watch half of the video. A few things: Nigeria is not the only country with those characteristics mentioned. So all those things happen in Nigeria, and running away is the best option because you can't stand it? Cowardice? (I only say this because of your mindset) You might want to start claiming another nationality since you feel this way or? |

viloko: A Ugandan website actually thinks nairaland made this compilation – here is a report from ugandandiasporanews.com WHAT?!!!! No ways! How/why on earth would they think that? Totally confused. That website needs to be taken with a grain of salt if they cannot properly research their articles. |

Most times I do but there are times when I'm lost in my own world that it doesn't really hit me that there's an elderly person standing and I should get up for them. But I def try to whenever I can. |

Tolexander: consistency in what? What I know is that different rankings use different (probably similar) criteria for their rankings so I don't know if the criteria you've stated is applicable to all universities. For example, it would differ for local rankings, regional rankings and international rankings. |
Education / Re: 100 Best Secondary Schools In Africa by Egbagirl(f): 7:51pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
Joavid: I agree with the bolded statements. The private schools are ridiculously expensive thereby eliminating a vast majority of kids. And yes, education is beyond the walls of the classroom and I think that's something the schools listed have incorporated into their curriculum. |
Education / Re: 100 Best Secondary Schools In Africa by Egbagirl(f): 7:30pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
Joavid: I need to know the critera used in compiling this list orderwise it is inaccurate. Not all the schools on that list are old. Many and probably most are but certainly not all. And as for new generation schools, the last paragraph mentioned that there are great schools such as African Leaders Academy but they can't rate them yet because they are new. Time will tell. I think what the list is getting at is that you can be assured of the quality of education you receive from any of these schools because they have remained consistent over the years and they are not "rise and fall" schools. |
Education / Re: 100 Best Secondary Schools In Africa by Egbagirl(f): 7:26pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
Tolexander: what is the yardstick used in measuring the academic effectiveness of this schools? TBH, I am not sure of the exact criteria used but it did talk about consistency in the last paragraph so... Btw, what's the criteria for ranking universities? I don't think there is one standard set of criteria used |

eddiebruk: I am really wondering about all those private and expensive schools in Lagos and Abuja.. All that money and still? The school I attended in Zimbabwe (which made this list) didn't even cost much at all compared to the Naija private ones. |

Tolexander: Na wash! LOL. you think so? why? |
Education / Re: 100 Best Secondary Schools In Africa by Egbagirl(f): 6:50pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
I noticed that most of the schools are in Southern Africa (South Africa and Zimbabwe), which I think is not surprising. I can definitely vouch for many of the Zimbabwean ones listed (bear in mind that education is highly rated there and the country has a very high, if not the highest literacy rate in Africa). I am quite surprised (or maybe not) and disappointed that only 5 schools from Nigeria made the list. |
Education / 100 Best Secondary Schools In Africa by Egbagirl(f): 6:47pm On Jul 22, 2013 |
There has been a marked rise of very good secondary schools all over the continent. Whilst government schools within African countries started off the best, following independence, much has changed.

Hillcrest Secondary School Kenya 95. South African College School South Africa 96. Lycée Blaise Diagne Senegal 97. St Mary’s Diocesan School for Girls South Africa 98. Townsend High School Zimbabwe 99. St.Gregory’s College Nigeria 100. St. Patrick School Zimbabwe Most of these schools are old, with tremendous wealth of history. The performance of such schools did take consistency into consideration to eliminate the quick rise and quick fall cases. In addition, great schools such as the African Leadership Academy have yet to prove themselves over years. Only time will tell whether they will remain at the highest level they are at. While we should always celebrate success of private enterprise and involvement of the private sector in education, it is important to ask the question; “Is the high performance of private schools at the cost of public schools?” This is an important question since the majority of the continent lack the means to pay for the skyrocketing costs of private institutions and choose instead to rely on public schools notwithstanding the fact that each African deserves good quality education. While I do not believe that a cap on secondary school fees will help, I stand convinced that African governments need to spend more on secondary school education. http://theafricaneconomist.com/100-best-secondary-schools-in-africa/#.Ue1vT1NQ0iD |

deols: Erm no one is talking about calling them names or any if that sort. Secondly there will always be people who are okay with it. Just like circumcision, some girls will be okay with it because that is what they have been made to believe. In all of this, I did not condemn any religion did I? I am only talking about rights here as humans, women and children. As a UN member state, you know what the universal declaration if human rights is and if you have adopted it into your constitution, then I don't see why these issues should be coming up. Unless you reject it. Cultural and religious differences need to be understood huh? So the killing of twins as a cultural practice would be okay because it's their culture yea? |
