AllBlack:
You should have quietly and humbly taken the correction but see how you wrote this garbage with so much confidence because of empty vessel level pride. This is how people like you wear suit and tie and mislead people especially in public places like this.

What school did you attend to learn such? Did any of your teachers even bother to teach you about VOWEL SOUNDS & CONSONANT SOUNDS or were they busy selling egusi in class? What was your score in JAMB (ENGLISH alone)?

I dey correct you and you dey try TEACH me? Telling me NOT THE ACTUAL LETTER? Please, what sound does the letter make?

Show me where it has become valid to use AN right before a word starts with H as regards places; I dare you.

Typo? You deliberately added N to A and you want to tell me about Typo? I have been typing on keys (Typewriter) before keyboards came into existence and I know a Typo when I see one. Look at the the distance between A and N then shamelessly mention Typo again.

Hmmm

The OP has corrected his or her error, so there isn't any need for the insult.

Also, the OP is not wrong on why some words that start with "H", can use "an" instead of "a".

You seem to be very bitter, it must be difficult being you.

This is where I did my IT after my ND program. it's a nice organisation to work honestly. if not for my religion, I suppose to be working there especially after the completion of my IT. I was offered a job then which I rejected. It's nice place in fact I was popular with a particular name which was given to me by the then GMD, an Indian expatriate.

Please can you explain how working there would affect your religion?

I'm just curious 🤔

AllBlack:
when they are still teaching FORTRAN & COBOL in Nigerian universities.

Why shouldn't they be taught?
Are they not part of computer science?

You have to understand that university is not a boot camp but a research institute, where every thing that concerns a particular topic has to be taught, regardless of economic value or what you think is important.

Iseoluwani:
and you are here still doing
political science Education
social studies education
Yoruba Education
Microbiology, Zoology, Botany, and Biochemistry.Humanities: Philosophy, History, Religious Studies, and Linguistics.General Social Sciences: Sociology and Public Administration.Theatre Arts, Library Science, and Physical Education.

Peak ignorance!!!

You even mentioned biochemistry, microbiology, zoology, botany, etc?!
CORE SCIENCES!!


You definitely need to be re-educated. Just because you think an area of study is useless, does not make it useless.

Seek knowledge.

BodePolScience:
Even before the advent of AI, some courses ought to have been relegated or dropped. Why go to the university and spend 4/5 years to study courses like Sociology and Anthropology, Music, History, International Relation, English, Political Science, etcetera. Can't we just have one or two institutes(either at the national or int'l level) that focus or specialize on each of those disciplines? These institute will do the research work, publish it online and those who have interest or passion on any of the disciplines will learn from it. Also, feedback, contribution, reassessment can also be relayed to the institutes.

If no one is studying these courses in the university, who will eventually do the research in these institutes?

A lot of people don't even practice what they studied in the university, so what's the need of scraping any course??

Let whoever wants to study any course in the university, study it. He/She would eventually find his/her path in life.

franchasng:
Country that have focus.


Tell me why Nigerian universities and polytechnics are still running the below programs if not that they have swore to destroy Nigeria:

Marketing
Mass Communication
Public Administration
Animal Husbandry
Guidance and Counseling
Sociology
Bee Rearing
Physical Education
Literature
etc
etc

The amount of ignorance oozing out of this post is just sooo nauseating 🤮🤮

Kudos to the man, he did well.

It's time to start treating ladies like adults.

As a man, if I have any issues with a another man, I wouldn't make the first physical assault on that man. I would only fight if I need to defend myself, my loved ones or my honour.

Everyone should be able to know which boundaries to cross and which shouldn't be crossed.

I don't really think that there is any need to worried about the erasure of any local language.

Have you noticed that a lot of english words are being incorporated into our local languages? These words are mostly used to describe present day things and situations which didn't exist locally in the ancient times. That is evolution.

Just the same way english has evolved through out centuries, that is the same way our local languages are evolving in modern times. Nowadays, a lot of people still speak our local languages but with a lot of english sounding words and I think that's okay because our local dialects cannot just accurately describe some things in modern times.


If our local languages do get erased, the generation in which it's erased wouldn't even lose much because it would mean that the culture and way of life would have evolved in a way that the language can no longer catch up. But that's just the brutal reality of evolution and there really nothing you can do to change it.

Chief, UNILAG is popular because it is in Lagos and most people will find it more convenient to choose it instead of travelling all the way to Ile-Ife for a much rigorous academic, hence the competition.

This is the same reason LASU is now the most sought after. Who/what is LASU compared to OAU, UI, UNN, FUTA, FUTO, etc.

Schools like FUTA or FUTO are for only science students, so they won't rank very high in that list because only a fraction of students are allowed to apply for such schools.

But I still think your point is valid.

One of the reasons powerful countries don't just invade one another is because they know that each one has what it takes to end the other (e.g nuclear weapons) if violence starts, so they usually choose dialogue and economic wars.

If you check very well, invasion of countries usually happens when a stronger country sees that another country is weak.

To have peace, you must prepare for war. To maintain your respect, you have to show that there are consequences for disrespecting you.

The thing is that you didn't have to be angry to deal with the guy, in fact you shouldn't be angry at such moment.
After the dialogue, which was the right thing to do, you should have given judgement and made sure the person that injured your brother faced the consequence of his/her action (if he/she deserved it) the way a wise parent would discipline a child for wrong doing.

If you want to be bold, think about what would happen in the future if you are not bold today. If being bold today might cost you your life ( e.g an armed robber pointing a gun at you, asking you to give him some money) it best that you back down in most cases of this scenario and live to fight another day. If being bold at a moment wouldn't cause you to loose something you cannot regain (e.g. your life) then it's best to be bold because not being bold would have future consequences like loosing your respect.

"Nigerian-American superstar" 😏

Elon musk should also be called a South African-Canadian-American billionaire even though he is mostly american 😁


By the way, I think he would still cheat if he went back to the past, knowing that everything would be settled.

I even think that he would still cheat if he knows that he would never be caught or exposed.

I think there's a way to check the genotype of the foetus (or baby) in the womb.

The friend can carry out the test and if the test shows that the baby has the SS gene, he should be pragmatic and do the needful.

If a sickle cell baby is born, it would cause suffering to the parents and the offspring. That is not a good life to live.

Aa

If you are into research in engineering and science, you might find it useful.

A lot Nigerians only care about making money hence they might feel that this is useless, forgetting that the technology they use daily are based on things like this equation.

MightyHand:
Very affordable for average students in Uni...
Money they spent on shayo, is way more than 55k

This is not affordable for the average students. The average students don't spend that amount on money on shayo, those that do so cannot be called an average student in terms of income.

You are forgetting that these are students, not workers and their income if they choose to work is usually hindered or limited by their academic pursuit (for those that think it's important).

My experience after passing through the tertiary institution has shown that this price tends to give more leverage for the wrong people to get into office (mostly fraudsters or those who can be termed as "unserious" students). The result of this is a lack of positive impact by the SUG in the school.

Only your people kick their elders. Look at well trained ex-Prime Minister Theresa May born of noble parents.

But unlike the prime minister, Tinubu is not British. Such gesture signify loyalty and it would not be weird for a British prime minister to be loyal to the royal family of England, but should the president of Nigeria also be loyal to that royal family?

If Tinubu usually kiss ladies like that, we would have said it was normal for him and would not read any meaning to it, besides, the kiss was not compulsory so why did he do it when she is not his wife or daughter?

hybrid77:
Please this man should try to exercise and lose some weight. This is highly advisable considering how his posture looks in those beautiful well designed suits..

Thank you so much for this kind Gesture and God will definitely reward you

The man in the picture posted by OP should heed to the advice in the first paragraph of the quoted text. It's for his own good.

I'm not sure if these are entirely accurate 🤔.

I thought Obama was a lawyer?

nwirinedu:
Then why are we importing longspan roofing sheet?

The same reason we import petrol, when we have crude oil.

Although, this might seem good. It's not too different from the exportation of crude oil.

When will Nigeria start exporting manufactured products or finished goods in large quantities 🤔?

iLegendd:

What matters is the way to coin is being distributed, the problem it solves (utility), and the number of trustworthy people or large community behind it.

Remember the above for the rest of your life.

Good day sir iLegendd,

Please, can you explain further on the bolded words in the post I quoted (utility).

How do you usually value coins based on their utility?

How do you know and understand the utility of a coin and decide if a coin is really useful or useless, regardless of how useful they may say the coin or token might be?

Can you also give examples of coins or tokens that you think have great utility and coins that you think don't.

hkidola00:
my message to igbo people
Reading you guys comment on nairaland calling Yorubas,demons,ewedu gobblers,gbegiri munchers and other derogatory or funny like remarks name just because obi didn't win...just know you are loosing more votes from yorubas in the future even if we dont vote for tinubu in the future,because I a Yoruba man voted for obi including many of my families and friends in the last election because I don't believe in tinubu,but I come online and see insults to our tribe here and there....
If this continues,I will personally campaign against any ibo man coming forward to contest any election again....before you quote me,know that I've been on nairaland since 2014,long before most of y'all got an Android phone

Your statement makes no sense.

You will campaign against a man or woman just because he is an Igbo person, not because you think he or she is not competent enough to be in office 🤨?
This has exposed your hypocrisy because you are doing the same thing that the people you criticise are doing.


By the way, the "Yoruba people" also insult Igbo people.


Your statement lacks any trace of wisdom.

This was how it started in some countries but the poor and middle class eventually ended up paying more tax.

Also, the fact that the people in government are not poor people means that they are just setting a trap for the mass.

Dougad:
Know pain. Feel pain. Accept pain

Those who do not understand pain can never understand true peace (electoral processes and leadership)

Almighty TAX!!!

😂😂


Maybe this pain would make some Nigerians have sense (even though I doubt it).

Yes, I think I can manage it for seven days.

Although cooked food under this condition might lack some ingredients and the food might end up becoming almost tasteless, as the foods I would eat would be solely for survival and taste would not really matter much (as long as the food is not bitter or too sugary/sweet or too salty).

But who knows, I might enjoy those type of meals. As the saying goes, hunger is the best flavour for food. A really hungry man doesn't discriminate based on taste.

Pennilessword1:
Call my name and stop beating about the bush

🙂🙂

A lot of people who mastubate don't care about this.

The sheer stupidity and blind prejudice that oozes out of the comments some retarded nonentities, who (either) cannot read what is in the news posted by OP or/and just love stupidity and are determined to reach its limit.

Tribalism would not let them see clearly, that's why they vote incapable people into leadership positions. I spit on their empty skulls.

Please can you share the problems that you intend to solve with machine learning in Nigeria? Just curious.
