How about the preachers?

This set of people, probably upcoming evangelists, will join the vehicle from the garage, to pray and preach to the passengers. They usually alight from the vehicle after some minutes to the journey.

They can be very disturbing but to avoid being tagged "demonic", everybody go just dey endure.

Where's LIS and Philosophy?

My problem now is the lecturer that lost my script, hence dropping the course. An A course for that matter.

Modified

Baba don see my script.

Seriously I can't recollect seeing this "legume"

When in Ondo State?
I grew up in Akure and that "licky licky" is in abundance there.

Rightly said OP, I agree to the fact that studying so hard isn't a guarantee for academic success or remembering what you've learnt.

Learning is not just an act but an art. Learning process starts with first understanding what kind of learner you are.

What works for Peter might not work for Paul!

Exactly. Most times, reading from the inception of a semester does not cut it for me. Tests and Exams timetable are usually the driving force.

All these LPV and Forsage guys no dey allow person rest for Whatsapp.

Another one. Are you the pioneer?
And, do you have a special place where you guys converge for worship?

People in early ages loved a good fire, and what better ways to light a fire than to burn a person at the stake? This one of the most favourite modes of punishing people accused of treason or witchcraft, as it made a grand spectacle and also warned people against committing such crimes.

It's so sad that, in 2020, this inhumane act is still rampant in our society. This punishment is usually meted out on petty thieves and kidnappers by angry mob with caveman mentality. We call it Jungle Justice.

Look at the voluntary bondage you put yourself into, in the name of religion. Emancipate yourself from the chains of mental enslavement and experience freedom.

am studying same course as you and am in 300 level pls I will like to chat you privately if you don't mind

Okay boss. Send in your contact on this thread. I will copy it. afm4ever?

Dpsychologist:
I agree with you on this

However what is the essence of going to the school when you can just learn it on YouTube or google. You paid school fees to learn and at the end you end up not learning much. What is the essence.

Exactly. If there's is an approved certificate of learning online, I would have opted for it.

Jodera:
Where should he get the mechanized tools and apparatus he would need to apply from the farm? Should he download it from YouTube too? Keep in mind he paid for these practicals through his school fees
Come on, in as much everyone knows he'll need to improve his/herself, but there are some things only school can provide and mostly practicals is one of them. That's why the op talked about revamping our educational system, cos it's things like this that make Nigerians to churn out half-baked graduates.

It's sad mehn. We ran through some topics in agricultural engineering and not even a Spanner is visible. How about agrochemicals and the likes?

It has been theories upon essays.

Juliearth:
You have never step your foot in a farm for practicals? Were/are your feet tied? Don't you have fallow lands around your house/neighbourhood.

No

Your lecturer does not give a freaking frack about your practicals because with or without that, he is paid...do you want to tie your destiny on this inadequacy?

He should. How else are we to relate with the theories learnt in the class better?

Yes, the curriculum in other schools abroad are more fine tuned, but are you also aware that you can equip yourself with the content of this curriculum? Run a google check on each topic from the curriculum, watch YouTube videos, try it on your piece of land and you are good to go.

I do that already. I follow some farm blogs, watch several videos on new crops, livestock breeds down to the latest machineries in the agro-industry.

SUPERPACK:
Gather here if you did not read the long epistle.

It won't take you more than 3 minutes.

Salient points you have there. I can relate.

Personally, I'm having my own share in the rot of our educational system. I'm a 300L student, studying Agricultural Economics and Extension. But, like my other mates in agro-related disciplines here in my faculty, I have never step a foot on the farms for practicals. Even if it's to practice few of the theories learnt so far. A 5-year professional course for that matter. Imagine. No, just imagine.

Seriously, our academic curriculum needs total reform. I googled "Agricultural economics syllabus" with the names of some reputable school around the world and I was awed. All the courses were strictly related to the discipline. So far, I can categorically tell you only 15% of everything I've learnt is connected to my course of study. Everything else is "borrowed" subtly put.

Also, results was pasted recently, and to my shock, I passed all my courses expect for one that surfaced as "DROP". Noting that I've never had a CO, hence, had no reservation whatsoever to dropping that course. I have paid my fees and all my courses are duly registered, as evident in both online and manual course registration forms. Tests and exam? I wrote my best while maintaining good conducts all through. Never had a faceoff with any lecturer, yet the course was dropped. Up till now, the lecturer in charge is yet to give a good reason as to that "error". Asking if I attended his class, wrote his test and exam. Like Baba, check your attendance lists now. Now I've got to rewrite that course... Just like that.

Laboratory? You are bound to share apparatus with 19 other students. Or even 29 in some cases like Physics Practicals. Even with zero participation, just make sure your matric no is on the attendance list, then copy the assignments later. You are sure to have an A or B and you say school is not scam.

Library? The most recent books there are dated "2009". They are usually 2005 downwards. I've resolved not to visit the book store any longer.

Most times, when I go online to read and watch latest news regarding my course of study, I found out that some of the things taught are obsolete.

And so on... Little wonder why most of us are in school just for the pali. We are no longer interested in the knowledge for self-reliance and service to nation. Because the knowledge impacted by these lecturers are usually outdated, I once saw an handout (inked not typed) dated "2009" last semester. And you dare not give them a "new approach" outside the scope of handouts. Why bother, after all, certificates doesn't guarantee good, discipline-related jobs.

Mehn me I can't can anymore. That's why even with the overwhelming academic hustle and bustle, I still spare some time to learn photography (photo editing, cinematography, graphics design and animation). Local man can not come and carry last.

AdaoraJoy:
I just want to come back to school.

You are not alone.

To even think that we have a started a new semester, via the internet is worrisome. The previous semester was concluded online, with several E-tests and assignments that many students were unable to partake in.

If it continues this way, Carryovers go boku and CGPA go too sink walahi.

Urgent advise please:

Commerce: D7
F/Accounting: A1
Economics: F9
Maths: C5
Government: B3
Civic education:C6
English language: C6

Just 7 subjects?

Political Science, Philisophy and Sociology are viable options. With good combination of subjects in JAMB and high score in POST UTME, your ward should be able to clinch one of the aforementioned courses.

"God never asked you to pray.. He asked you to work for peace and follow his laws to make the human experience more fruitful and purposeful."

Where did you get this from?

sonmvayina:
That's life for you..

God never asked you to pray.. He asked you to work for peace and follow his laws to make the human experience more fruitful and purposeful..

Every other thing is paganism.

Are you a Christan or deist?

sonmvayina:
Yes and no.. Yes, because God created us with those attributes.. No, because he also gave us the power to overcome them.. That is the purpose of life.. The battle or war or jihad within....that is why I said life is about making choices..

God created us with with those bad attributes, and at the same time gave us the power to overcome them? Damage control?

Come to think of it, will life be interesting without those things?

Greed, wickedness, intolerance, terrorism and the likes make life interesting to you? If so, then, why do we waste our time praying to God to take away these "interesting" things as you have put it. It doesn't make any sense.

Zimri:
Very very underrated

Despite his immense contribution to electricity, which is widely used today. He's still hardly talked about. Not even once did I come across his name in my physics textbook. Whereas, the likes of Michael Faraday and Thomas Edison who amplify his works are often celebrated.

sonmvayina:
There is only one power, and it belongs to the creator of all, any power anybody or anything have was given to them by the creator.. It is how they use it that is the problem....

Life is about making choices, some people make the wrong one.. It is to be expected.. God made humans so.. Perfect on his eyes.. Except you choose to see something different ..

At bolded, are you implying that greediness, wickedness and other vices humans exhibit are traits of perfection in the eyes of God?

If the members need help financially, the pastor will pray with them. But if the Pastor needs a car, the congregation will contribute. As par Daddy do not deserve to jump okada every Sunday.

Nice write up 0p, Am an introvert and am experiencing such.... i always retract what i wanted to say due to shyness, People mistook me for a misogynist as I don't have any female friends, am always avoiding them too, i got lot of female ladies crushing on me including young married ladies. I can't keep and maintain eye contact with ladies and i can't stand a crowd.I'm good in typing but mediocre in speaking English and that my top priority now, to speak english fluently hence needing me to converse with people more, but sadly people currently within my vicinity aren't that good speaking english, am a way better than them. I just hope they reopen schools so i can converse more with course mates.

You are good at typing?
