U dey mind dem? Coconut heads!

It's funny u know, our Governor sometime ago, mentioned something about building a new PH city. Now one would think he had a good vision, and he appreciated the fact that PH is over-congested and every thing is just centralized in one small town. Whatever happened to that idea? And he turns around to start demolishing illegal structures, ppls fences and shops? If in the first place, previous administrations had developed PH like ppl who had foresight and adhered to town planning standards and guidelines, i dont think we'd be destroying, instead of building, today. See that's the problem with this country of ours, we do everything haphazardly, no planning, no standards. Now have u guaranteed ppl security, before u started tearing down their fences? Has this government been able to complete the market @ mile 1, since how long, before ridding ppl of their shops, their little means of survival? I just pray His Excellency knows what he's doing , and that he sees it to its conclusion, at the end of the day, cos, one thing i know about life is that u dont start a good thing in a bad way, like the bible put it "Nobody pours new wine into an old bottle, ". Just my thoughts, ppl.

If u've got questions, ask em. Lets see if we might be able to get u answers,

And oh, ur very much welcome, luv.

Sweetheart, I'm already neck-deep in IT as it is. Software Engineering / Business Intelligence on one side, and Information Systems Security on the other, and i still need to specialize in certain areas in both fields. I only put what i need in my head, make i no crash.

Here's a link for ur semantics/ web 3.0 - semantic-conference.blogs.com/semtech06/2007/11/web-30.html

mc2good, nice idea, time and place,

@ Onizzy, na wa for u oh! How e dey do u self, u dey feel like Beyonce abi? Anyway, u deserve some attention sha. u see my offline messages?

@ joyblinks, how far?

@ Emeka, nice one. But the part of their IT infrastructure, they've a very,very,very,very, long way to go, the whole bunch of them. It sickens me to notice how backward our industries are , regarding IT. No Information security(sorry, our server is down), no Information systems(outdated, legacy systems are being used).
Intercontinental Bank has got to be the worst, when it comes to ATM services. jeez!

Seriously, they need to work on their IT, cos thats the engine that drives any information-driven business.

Gosh, some topic to be interested in. I'm not into all dat, but if there's some terminologies u need one to xplain, i might be able to assist, seeing as i'm an IT man myself. Ur into IT, nice. holla

I think that depends on individuals as against wot we were taught in school or which university we went to. alot of us are educated illiterates who went to school just to get the degree forgettion that the world out there goes beyond that. Everyday knowledge increases and u cannot continue to live in the glory of what you learnt as an economist or business admiistration graduate two years ago. we need to read and search for knowledge beyond what we think we know cao wot u know may just not count. Those undergraduate students talked about, am sure are open to alot of ideas and information beyond class room and lectures. Ideas rule the world don't be limited.

Nice one luv!

Uchetobi,

i feel you jare

Same thing with me, its just been two months

but i am GAINFULLY Employed

uchetobi:
I can only speak for myself. am a Nigerian graduate and really a graduate. i was plunged into the deep end of the labor market immediately after school (dint waste a day looking for job and no i don't work in my father's company or any relative's company) to sink or swim. And i have been swimming for 2 years now without drowning.

Advice to stufents reading this. face your studies dilligently. once you are brilliant you will be discovered. A gold fish has no hiding place for real. the bible also says show me a man dilligent in his ways and he will stand before kings and not mere men.

Constantly challenge yourself and be the best you can be at every given time

Totally besides the point. what the poster tried to achieve with this thread, was to point out the dysfunctional nature of the educational system. Sure any body could be GAINFULLY employed, whether he/she is a petroleum engineer working as a cashier @ a bank, or a lawyer doing the job of a public admin, they're GAINFULLY employed right? The question is, as a graduate of the Nigerian "university", could u, in ur own endeavor , stand alongside ur counterparts, that graduated from, Ghana? The content of the system needs to be updated, thats what needs to be done, so as to meet up with educational standards in other parts.Just my thoughts, though,

@ starangel, a star and an angel huh?nice.welcome to nairaland.hope u like it here.

@ Joyblinks, this our equation is taking too long to complete. time and place.

@ Dual, some Hydrogen Peroxide, perhaps? Any catalyst i'll add, i'll add when we meet.

@Onizzy, still mad @ me, eh? Well what can i say, kiss and make up?

@blinks, blinging Joy, add me on ur YIM, lets chat some,ok?

@Ph Nairalanders, whats hapning?

@ Loma, God bless u for being honest with urself.

@ poster, the only way ur question wuld make sense, would be if Nigeria had a single university. what we have are KG, really. Even high school students in China culd manufacture phones. We have computer,mechanical and the rest of em bullshit engineering taught in these KG's, ppl are graduating with 1-1's and 2-1's daily, nothing to show, it's a shame, if u ask me.

Personally, i've always had a dream to study certain advanced courses (aeronautic engineering,nuclear,etc), right from my primary school, but when i finished secondary, i could not find one University offering them courses. I said, ok, lemme manage computer science, i went to Uniben (which was about the best at the time), and for the thousands of students in CE then, we didn't have up to 500 systems in the lab. I tried a private Poly in Abuja, no way.So in 2003 when i heard of NIIT and how they were up to the standard, internationally, i decided there and then i wasn't going to step foot in any of them KG's, ever. Today i'm a Software Engineer, tested, trusted and not found wanting. My name is included in Oracle Technology Network, Sun Developer Network,Association Of Computing Machinery (worldwide).I am really disappointed in Nigeria's educational system, and I pray God will not allow my children to be retarded by this mediocre system. Word of advice to all so-called graduates, whatever field u find urself, make sure u are up to date, dont think that because the system is backward, u should remain backward, because one day, u might find urself in an advanced environment, and that, my friends, wuld be ur day of reckoning. Just my thoughts, people.

@ joyblinks, Njemanze?

come on, time and place?

And u don't need to 'assist' me with Onizzy,

@ Dual, na u be the mathematician here,

@ moyola, u need to give us naija-based guys some credit;

only u go chike babe, only u go take am out, them no dey ever offer to pick tab,only u go pay transport, only u go buy em pant and brah, perfume and every (dont get me wrong, i'm not complaining),its all about them, these naija girls.

The day i go begin respect naija girls, na when em go fit bold, walk up to guy, say "howdy mate, wanna have a drink?", or at least offer to pick up tab.

So my sista, e no easy dealing with these chicks here, na im make guys dey desperate o,
