Nigayoyo:[size=15pt]Another very logical response. Love your use of analogy. We currently have a generation of certificated yet uneducated Nigerians who are products of intellectually-impoverished universities where some dubious teachers with no creditable academic outputs hold professorial chairs. Simple google search would show you that doctoral degrees and professorial chairs in some Nigerian universities are awarded on highly questionable and dubious grounds. Shame! Any wonder people cannot think critically and rationally with a view to emancipating themselves from the shackles of religious claims (Christianity and Islam) derived from Ancient Near Eastern myths and folklores.[/size] |
uzolexis:[size=15pt]Thanks for sharing your personal testimony which, hopefully, should educate these certificated but uneducated and unenlightened religious zealots.[/size] |
TruthHurts1:[size=16pt]Absolute rubbish[/size] |
Daft ideas certainly being spewed and floated here. Repeatedly on NL, I've asserted that morality is logically independent of religion or theism. Empirically verifiable findings (See Phil Zuckerman's Society without God) incontrovertibly shows that most religious countries (and therefore people) are the most corrupt. Conversely, the least religious countries in the world (e.g. the Nordic countries) are the least corrupt and most morally upright. There are pastors, not simply congregants, who beat their spouses to stupor (http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/photo-mfm-pastor-beats-up-his-wife-of-17-years/). There are Christians (including pastors) who, over time, abandoned their faith and became atheists or agnostics and who neither abuse/assault their spouses nor prevent them from continuing to practice their Christian faith. |
[size=18pt]"Nigeria is [in deed] one of the most fantastically corrupt countries in the world." This is a woman who hasn't turned up for work in the past 2 decades. Yet, she went through the Civil Service ranks, 'attaining' permanent secretary level. Even at that, could someone at that level with no business pedigree and profiling own this sort of funds? In saner climes, this woman would be behind bars. In Nigeria, she has the audacity to be bragging and calling the shots. Nigeria is irrevocably doomed![/size] |
Psylas:[size=16pt]What a shame that the Nigerian press is giving this idiot air space. His pronunciation is atrocious as is his wrong choice of vocabularies. He is talking but not communicating. Sadly, Nigerians are dafts, celebrating mediocrity.[/size] |
[size=18pt]This is a state which, reportedly, hasn't paid workers' wages for the umpteenth month. What are they celebrating? Mediocrity?[/size] |
[size=14pt]Stop indoctrinating that intelligent child and I hope he never succumbs to your religious stupidity. The idea and the concept of God is both a farce and a fraud. Religion has destroyed Nigeria and that country would never make progress until it swaps religiosity with rationality. Western Europe made that landmark transition called the Enlightenment during the eighteenth century simply because human rationality replaced religious beliefs which eventually culminated in the secularisation of Europe and decline in religiosity. Go and study the history of the Enlightenment. I've always said it: the most religious counties in the world (Nigeria,Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.) are the most criminal and impoverished whilst the least religious (Norway, Sweden, etc) are the least criminal and the richest.[/size] |
[size=18pt]By the way, is Diezani Alison-Madueke still alive or dead? Oh and Cecilia Ibru, the woman that wrecked Oceanic Bank with all my investments there. None of these people and their offsprings would ever know peace![/size] |
[size=15pt]The blood of the innocents would forever seek revenge on those public officers (and their beneficiary family members) who misappropriated Nigeria's public funds for personal gains and pursuits.[/size] |
gypsey:[size=15pt]Please let us all join hands and educated this indoctrinated and certificated yet uneducated Nigerian folks.[/size] |
sunnyeinstein:[size=15pt]Totally agree with you. Desperate for a position she can longer occupy. Shame. Health is wealth.[/size] |
kopite:[size=16pt]Sure! He is Omo Iya (i.e. Mama's son).[/size] |
satelliteDISH:[size=14pt]The level of daftness amongst Nigerians baffles me: what is the "arrows of the evil ones in our hour of breakthrough?" This woman was battling cancer to which she finally succumbed. In my view, it would appear that she was in the USA receiving treatment and then flew back to be sworn in. If, in deed, she abandoned her chemo treatment, that was a fatal decision she took. Health is wealth. RIP to the dead, anyway.[/size] |
[quote author=Nori post=49020291][/quote]Very articulate and reasonable. Not many people have these qualities these days. |
[size=18pt]Utterly desperate. This is what Nigerians have become. The other day, a guy killed his business partner for less than 2.m. Life has no value in that country anymore.[/size] |
[size=14pt]Arch-criminals being celebrated by quintessential, ignorant victims.[/size] |
Kizyte:[size=14pt]There is no devil. Stop believing in unverifiable claims with which you have been indoctrinated. The guy is, psychologically and neurologically speaking, twisted.[/size] |
[size=16pt]Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas. You stole money meant to benefit the masses and use it to fund your children's education abroad. Now he's bitten the dust. If you ask me that's what I call "the blood of the innocents, crying and wailing for revenge." Some call it 'Karma'.[/size] |
thesicilian:SOURCE? |
7th picture, first from left looks like Alams. Is he still around? Thought he's been declared dead. Has he resurrected? |
[size=18pt]A state governor handed over $4.6m personal cash to an employee for safe keeping? Yet, these executive thieves are celebrated by the poor, ignorant masses? Nigeria is irrevocably doomed - I've said it for the umpteenth time![/size] |

Gwazah:[b] Dindinrin; Oponu! You can't even express yourself adequately. Your written English is atrociously poor. One wonders how your oral English would sound like. I bet you're a certificated yet uneducated fellow like many Nigerians are. Worst still, an HND holder! Perhaps? Secondly, in a globalised, postmodern world qualification portability has become a BIG DEAL. For example, through the Bologna Process, qualifications across EU countries have become harmonised, engendering labour mobility. Hence, I am talking about the internationalisation of Nigerian qualifications (which I've written about on this site with reference to the HND/BA,BSc dichotomy). Conversely, and regrettably, you're yapping about localised accreditation. Will the University of Ghana, Legon, accept Nigerian HND holders to enrol on its prestigious MA/MSc degrees? Categorical no? You'll have to head for India where their MA/Msc equates with UK, US & Canadian BA/BSc. I repeat, if you see yourself and your offsprings beginning and ending it all in Nigeria, then keep deluding yourself that HND equates with BA/BSc. Otherwise, the Nigerian government needs to reinvent the polytechnic sector and the qualifications awarded by these institutions (e.g. BTech (Honours) rather than HNDs). Is lecturing a lucrative job? Yes, if you are not living in a stone age but consider yourself a citizen of the world with labour mobility to take your qualifications with you anywhere (South Africa, Botswana, UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, etc) and adequately fit in rather than begging to have your HND evaluated and recognised. [/b] |
elbulk:[b]You most probably hold an HND or on course to get one. Hence, you're hell bent on the equivalency of HND with Bachelors degree. There are all sorts of universities in the USA. Have you heard of mushroom american universities, operating from residential condos and apartment blocks? Because HNDs are not offered in the USA, the Fulbright Commission specifically had to put together information for UK students with HNDs aspiring to study in the US. It states: "The slightly less competitive bachelor's programmes are likely to accept the BTEC. The Edexcel website provides a list of some universities who accept the BTEC. Many more do, and we encourage you to simply email or call the admissions office for more information. Additionally, some institutions, particularly two-year or community colleges, will accept students with other UK qualifications, such as GNVQs, GSVQs, HNCs or HNDs." SOURCE: http://www.fulbright.org.uk/study-in-the-usa/undergraduate-study/applying/admissions-criteria I still maintain: stop being deceived and don't indulge in self-delusion.[/b] |
elbulk:Statutes establishing Nigerian universities prescribe that candidates appointed as lectures must hold bachelors, followed by higher degrees. You'll never come across adverts for university lectureships which do not follow this prescription. That said, nothing surprises any keen followers of events in Nigeria where its incumbent president cannot produce original or copies of his WASC/GCE results. Neither is the awarding exams board able to show any evidence that Mr Buhari, in deed, passed his WASC/GCE examinations. Has he one? Categorically no. The Dean of Faculty at a Federal University to which you refer may not even hold a verifiable PhD. Conversely, s/he may have gained a BA/BSc on top of his HND following which s/he gained higher degrees (masters and doctorate) which qualified him to take up university lectureship and deanship. In any case, NIGERIA IS A ROGUE, FAILED STATE. |
Gwazah:If your destiny is forever bound up with Nigeria be that as it may. I know, for sure, that in Nigerian universities, if you do not have BA/BSc, you cannot be appointed a lecturer--even if you hold postgraduate degrees (MA/MSc, MBA, etc.) following the acquisition of an HND. If, however, you or your children/offsprings, etc., would one day find yourself in the UK, Canada, Australia, or other saner climes and jurisdictions where things are done properly by people who have clues and not fraudsters governing Nigeria, then you need to be looking at the bigger, global picture and stop being myopic. You exemplify the old adage which states: "No one ever see beyond their horizon." |
[size=18pt]Diapers' sale on the RISE.[/size] |
Rexology:Stop yapping about what you don't know. If you hold an HND qualification - no mater the number of units completed to earn it, if the final award is HND, you need 120 credits to earn a bachelor's degree. Read this information culled from www.propects.ac.uk (a website which provides academic and professional career guide) "While the work-based skills gained from a Higher National Diploma (HND) can lead directly to a career, many students use it as a stepping stone to an honours degree. Equivalent to the second year of a Bachelors degree, these vocational qualifications are usually studied full time for two years (or three years part time), preparing you for a career in a specific industry, such as engineering, business, hospitality, computer science, design or health and social care. As HND courses are designed with particular job sectors in mind, the practical, skills-focused programme will give you a level of expertise that is valued by employers and some professional bodies. Should I 'top up' to a degree? It all depends on the career path you wish to take. If you want to apply for a graduate scheme or graduate-level job, you'll usually need to complete a degree - which is why most HND graduates decide to 'top up'. Because the HND is a high-level qualification, it does give exemption from certain professional examinations; but you'll need to check which ones. For example, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) makes HND holders exempt from some foundation exams. Before you make a decision: check to see if your HND can get you into your chosen career with our job profiles; work out if you can afford to study for a degree; discuss your options with a careers adviser. What are my options for further study? You can use your HND to transfer onto the first, second or third year of a Bachelors degree, depending on how relevant it is to your degree. Acceptance into the final year is more likely if you've studied a similar subject and have a good academic history. You'll probably have to start in the first year if your chosen degree subject differs drastically from your HND. Contact your chosen university in advance of your application to determine the exact year of entry. To move on to a degree course, you must apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) a year before the programme begins." Don't allow idiots governing Nigeria mislead you. If you do, you might one day face the reality. Then, it would be too late. |
Call it what you like, HND in the rest of the world is not at par with a Bachelor's degree. In the UK, if you hold an HND, you need to complete a further 120 units to earn a BA/Bsc Honours degree. Stop being deceived or else the reality will dawn on you much later in life. |
What Nigerians are doing/finding in this country called Indonesia is simply and honestly beyond me. Secondly, if you must peddle drugs, never do so in Indonesia. Finally, there is no quick fix in life. Anyone seeking a quick fix must be prepared to endure quick exit. Some countries like Indonesia and Russia are places where no right thinking individuals should (for well known reasons) aspire to go and live, work and study. A word is enough for the wise. |
Nigeria has no government but robbers holding political power. Nigeria has no press and media but idiots doing the bidding of robbers in power. In saner climes, the government would hold the oil company responsible while the press would keep hammering them until they clean up their acts and compensation paid. I'll rather be a health carer in Washington than be a consultant paediatrician in LUTH. lol. |
