Few days ago I read an article here on NL on how ibos are mere traders and chest beaters while the yolobas are the true entrepreneurs and innovation drivers in Nigeria. What can be more annoying than that bro u start screaming tufiakwa!
It's a calculated attempt to undermine our efforts psychologically. So I know exactly what am saying wen I use the word 'zoo'

freshdude99:
Just goes to show you how good the Ibo man can be and the very reason the western zoo see them as a threat while the rest of the zoo fear them

Hello Everyone, I shared this story before the nairaland data saga (hmmm i like the sound of that-- ) and I decided to share it again.

[b]One day, a teacher asked his student “What are you going to do with your life?” The student was stunned for he loved this teacher and admired him. He had never felt such pressure from his teacher before. Stammering, this man replied, “I don’t know. Finish my studies and get a good job, I suppose"
“Get a good job,” his teacher repeated. “This is a phrase I have often heard. It is the single worst choice of your generation. Happiness is unlikely to come to the mind whose goal is to ‘get a good job.’” “Son,” this wise teacher asked, “Would you be interested in some specific advice from an old man who wished he had your youth and energy?”
“Of course, Doctor.”
“Look around you. Take a fresh, hard, and uncompromising look at life as you see it. Ask this question, ‘What needs to be done?’ When you have an answer, and it may take some time to get it, then go and do what needs to be done. Do it better than anyone else does it and the world will beat down your door for your help. Then you will not need ‘a good job’; and you will have more than a career.
You will have a mission.”[/b]

Many times, we focus on "getting a good job" and then when we get that job, we get disillusioned and want something "better".. Take the advise of this wise teacher (who, by the way, was the famous inventor, Buckminster Fuller) and really, "jobs" will come looking for you! But take heed... we need to all find the balance between AMBITION and CONTENTMENT

Wish everyone the very best...

I think its a good idea.
Don't let it die. Competition is the only way to bring out the best in humans. If a competition of the sort gets implemented you'd get surprised at how fast the government buys the original idea and maybe improve on it.

charix:
I think we Nigerians should set up competitions where alternative means of power generation become the focus. We're long past the era of waiting on the government to provide us electricity. The nation is not growing depending on four thousand plus megawatts of electricity only.

We need a mindset revolution.

Talk2bryant:
Am really inspired by this write-up, will look up more on machiavelli and other related materials.
We all need to be informed
Thanks OP

dabriggs:
I think number one point should even be that we are our own problem. 7, 8,9 and 10 should come first before other points! We are our own worst enemy.

Ehimenboy:
How would you develop any country when the dream of the majority of its youth and elite is not entrepreneurship, innovation, education and self-sufficiency, but the dream to have a job with a humanitarian organization or to get their project financed by some International aid Agency or proxy.

Good day house.

Sometimes in life, there are some mistakes that could remain indelible and consequently, one need to accept faith due to our action(s) naively taken.

I'm a student of a prestigious federal university, who was admitted in 2013/'14 admission season. I was admitted to study political science; which was my long awaited course that I've always wished to study. Although, during my jamb registration saga; the operator made a grave mistake by myopically putting a wrong date of birth with an addition of two years margin (original dob 1995, mistaken dob 1993 ). I was almost half insane when I eventually noticed the mistake after the printout, but alas! "no need to cry over a split milk*, the only way to mop it up (as suggested by some friends), I was told to follow up the uncorrectable mistaken age('93); of which I did. I also registered same age in my pjamb as well. Furthermore, I eventually went ahead to make an affidavit of my waec certificate date of birth from '95-'93 .

Although, according to any university mode of admission registration, it's clearly stated that any incoherent inputs of data will lead to disqualification in the admission processes.

Going by my mistaken age, '93; hopefully, by 2017 I'll be 24yrs old - which is tantamount to my graduation. With a calculative area of observation, my NYSC programme will be ending within the range of 2018-2019, by then I would be 25-26 years of age; which is above some job age requirements . And a lot of opportunities might be denied of me due to this monstrous age margin

Dear NL'ders, I'm being haunted day and night with this indelible grave mistake. Although, I've never wished to work as an employee; but you never can tell what the future holds.

Please, I need your advice and suggestions towards this destructive mistake that has inflicted my age
