I already typed a lot but I realized r write-up is not worth it . Pls everyone reading this post should look into the society that we live in and tell me the essence of staying 5yrs in Universities when as an engineer u can not remove plug from an engine ,and a graduate of fishery u don't know what quanaldine is used for or what is karkaban and a six month apprenticee will separate complete engine or hatch fish then manage them up to table size that's the difference between been fed with theories and actual practicing
And some one is written that u go to university so u can conduct rself and to think and solve problems . I laugh u . What u don't know ,u don't know forget about that r 100 page notebook at r 500 level. U are actually talking to a PhD student of ATBU.Agro Economics

Having a PhD doesn't make you good. Always know that. I have been in education conferences to know that. Also know that those that have the resources to complete a master can successfully finish a PhD.

So my brother, don't let your PhD make you feel too much please. My younger brother is a PhD lecturer(not even a candidate & not even recent doctor) in the 2nd best university and my Juniors are professors(also my younger brother Juniors too), so don't let I am a PhD student make you think you know better than ANYONE here on this forum.

There are many things you don't know, but thinking because you are doing PhD that you are an authority, if you like don't have 3-5 publication from your PhD and then you will know you achieved nothing afterwards.

I wish you the best in your PhD, because of people like you I will do PhD and give hope to people that it's not impossible.
I have been doing that, hence decided to just read and know more.

I am a master student to the Glory of God with over 4.6/5 at master level, aside thesis. But for strike, my thesis would have been completed. And I am not studying in North also.

Be humble please. PhD only are authority in their fields.

PhD is about building character too, if you like don't be humble and see how you can fare. Anyone that can do master program under good supervisor and have funds will do a PhD successfully

All the best

then what is the essence of the education,if one can Not b practically sound in his own field.

the importance of education is great, it will help your conduct yourself, it help build how one relate in a larger society, it could build meaningful friendship for your future etc.

About the area of performance, it will help your cognitive in terms of reasoning, it helps you solve things or give solution by what you learn, though most theory.

If indeed you want to be great in your field, get skilled from illiterates in your field. I have seen graduate engineers learn from welders, mechanics. The young man that taught me hatchery in fish farming was a graduate of business administration, whereas the learner is an agronomy graduate that have seen a lot in agric even on the field.

Educatn is great. And we get educated from both formal and informal sections

sorry I sounded strong on r post . just that I hate those years I spent in the university with those expired professors killing one with expired theories. Everything I know today in aquaculture,I paid in 50s of thousands to know them far beyond the practical scope or curriculum of those Universities.

let us not put blame on the lecturers, at times the system does not help them to do something. Also they cannot work outside their curriculum.

Personally I asked at least one of the lecturer that the teaching over two to three decades does not differ from what is obtainable now and he said there are many talented lecturers, but the political will is not there. Their salaries cannot be used to give unique teaching styles because they have to continue to write papers and it's not always cheap

Some People think Fish Farming is an easy DIY thing....

I sometimes wonder is they ever wonder why people study Fisheries as a 5 year Degree Program in the Universities.

I know what they study mostly is theory in the University. I am an agronomist and also looking for means to combine education technology with agricultural studies.

For this work, I have discussed with 400 levels students, 300 levels and 200 levels, even their lecturers and same story. One of those I was privilege to learn from in kebbi state over two decades ago is even an illiterate. So spending five years in the citadel of learning guarantees nothing.

Reason many still come out and learn from those on the field or in the business because they only have little knowledge or theories majorly

Pls farmers I will like to know the performance of skeretin essential feed and if it pollute water.

It is okay. The issue of pollution depends mostly on excessive feeds in ponds. Though there are some feeds that turn water brownish, however that does not mean pollution (if a reasonable or calculated feed quantity is not exceeded).

Good day sir
Do you farm vegetables for investors on a small scale

Better you get trained or advice. Depends on your location. If you have no sufficient water, forget vegetables especially in this dry season. I don't collect funds from investors again, I focus on my services, I could train and establish, but too busy to seat with one person because of many commitment

However, your location would determine if I would be interested

My book Titled Black Christians, White Christians, subtitled about sexuality. Let me put here part of the preface;

In as much as the word sex or sexuality is a word most of us shy away from because we hardly want to put such words in our mouth, however this is an aspect of life that have taken a prominent position in the lives of men. When I am talking about men, the appellation is not gender sensitive, hence means humanity in general. This is a book that I would normally not have written, though as the inspiration came, I began to love the direction of what God wants to achieve from this book. The advent of increasing meaning to sexuality in the world and the issue of how the present day church takes their sexuality became a thing of concern, hence the reason why this book is written. Should one shy away from this troubling trend or should we reevaluate what the scriptures is saying about it? These are issues that keep rumbling in my spirit. How will the world take it? Will some be offended at the truth or will it assist the Christians to live the truth? As these numerous questions begun to erupt, it became expedient to define what sexuality is in the context of the scriptures, our orientations and cross check if we are doing things based on the landmark of God in our churches.
The youthful zeal, the drama on the social media, the corruption from the media as related to how we should see sex, what our orientation should be and what we are to celebrate is possibly creating a lot of confusion for many Christians? This issue should never even arise because our life as Christians is not on the foundation of opinions of men, but on the precepts of Christ through the word of God. Though, the confusion have also increased with some of those we are calling fathers, brothers or sisters in Christian kingdom that are even supporting what the scriptures have tagged as a sin, abomination or forbidden.

The book is available on amazon and is a good book for Christians interested to know the truth of God's word concerning sexuality

The books,are they not available in Nigerian bookshop?

Wrinkled(ebook and paperback) is available on Amazon. The others could be gotten through WhatsApp or email as an ebook.

I submitted to a Nigerian site and discovered they never gave any account, hence when I am certain of a reliable Nigerian site, I could put it up there.

For book shop, I am not doing that because authors have to do their marketing. However, if there are orders I could put in hard copy book. Amazon have a paper back option

Damdeyz:
My shout out goes to Robonski15, Robonski16, aquatic1, ab1x, and excelsiorfarm for their immeasurable contribution to educating young fish farmers in that thread with over 506 pages of pure practical and applicable steps in catfish farming. I hail you guys. GOD will bless you. As you shared this knowledge you guys will never run down.
Also, my shout out goes to AptSpeaker for his contribution in teaching how a person can become a more effective public speaker. GOD Bless you real good.

I heard pocohantas is a philanthropist, and I'm wondering if it's the stew she cooks she gives away to Nairalanders. She's knowledgeable though.

When I saw my name on this post, it brings smiles. All Glory is given to God Almighty for the Grace to be a blessing.

I also want to commend all those impacting Nigerians and others positively irrespective of their fields of contribution. The Lord bless all naira Landers and your nation's.

We shall be together God willing to dance joyfully into 2021 and beyond in Jesus Name, Amen.

THIS IS A LITTLE PIECE FROM MY WORK "Wrinkled" available on Amazon:

“To weather the storms of life, there could be wear and tear.
That is formation for your perfection.”

Life issues could get so uninteresting that what comes to mind is to throw in the towel. I want to encourage you to read this piece gently and see that it is never over until you agree to let the circumstances define it is over. That you failed once or more times, does not make you a failure. That you lost a job or your business went down and you are in debt does not make you desire to give up on life. There is a woman whose testimony was shared in church at Glory Tabernacle in Ibadan (Southwest Nigeria) with her seated in the congregation on a Sunday morning, she took the secondary school leaving certificate seven times and failed year in year out, but she never gave up.

Thank God for those around her that did not also give up on her, she later passed to gain admission into the university after failing for seven consecutive years. At this period, her former colleagues have already graduated and few are already having master degrees, but this did not deter her from staying focus with her life, however others passed their own secondary school leaving certificate did not even make it into any higher institution and gave up on life.

Doctor Mary (not her real name) still kept on track despites the failings, ridicules and shame that the environment and people in it threw at her until she came out with first class degree at the end of her study. Now a PhD holder while those that have master degrees when she was just entering university never proceeded. She was focus, she persevere while it were very easily to throw in the towel. Definitely the world could understand, they would give excuses for her that she does not have brains for academics if she gave up, however Dr. Mary never allow temporary setback to nail her destiny...........................
