Thanks so much for dis response! I've expected it longgggg ago! U've helped so much. Now whats the family house? A lodge where christian corpers live or a special lodge or hall given to christian corpers by d local govt? I just want to know more n read more xciting, real experiences. . . How bout camp? Is the service or fellowship like d normal church sevices with singing, musical instrumentals being played?

I understand and completely empathize with you. You will be rewarded with excellent grades in your graduate school(hope you register to attend one).

However, what makes you feel that every secondary school near Unilag is not full of Unilag students jacking their heads off? And what makes you feel that there are no sadists at the departments of Engineering in Unilag? Man, please go there and see things for yourself. Many people say crazy things about Unilag students and graduates; things that are really not so good. Only God knows where they got such stories from. I don't know whether other top graduates from other naija schools are actually excellent in reality or not, but what I know is that if you do very well in Unilag, you will do very well elsewhere. If you are excellent in Unilag, you will be excellent elsewhere. This has been consistently proven over the years.

The very top graduating students all strove and merited what they got. Do a survey if you have the time. Watch their future GRE scores and their future GPAs at the top schools in the US and UK. You will almost surely agree with what I am saying. Although Unilag students and alumni are among the most sociable students that Nigeria can boast of, they are equally not sick academically. We believe in working hard and playing very hard. We also have professors who are themselves very successful and happy to see their students aim to be successful. In the same vein, there is a myriad of saaaaaadists. It is all about striking a balance.

I congratulate all those who have graduated well. Our top students get competed for by top MNCs and the very top schools around the world.

Congrats especially to the topee. I hope he was able to beat the record 4.93 and 4.95 set in 2007 and 2008 respectively. And most importantly, I hope he graduated from Engineering or Science . Your senior colleagues are waiting for you at Harvard or MIT.

I understand you very wel. But you dnt really understand me when i say sadists n all secondary and primary schools in awka is ocupied day n night by UNIZIK students. I just wish sumbody wil say it beta. Mind u i reside in Lagos. Infact Bariga to be precise so wich secondary or primary schol is ocupied by Uni students (nt pointing unilag now)? Is it Finbars, Akoka high schol, FCE, Cms grama schol? Ajayi crowder or cms gals, st lukes or howels? Cms primary schol complex? Toria school at yaba or succes point, Timi o, crusader lessons? St august affiliate to Ibadan? Abeg tel me wich of these schols go open gate 4 u or student go enta individualy or in groud just to study. In ma secondary schol days in Ajayi Crowther i blong to a futbol club n only futbol teams dat pay d gatekeeper som alawi na him go enta.
Am nt beefing UNILAG or her Students o o! Infact am just lamenting the state of UNIVERSITY EDUCATION in Anambra State! I mean in my time, meetings were held at faculty levels concerning one or two students who's a potential 1st class candidate especialy d social sciences! Ah! E too bad there! Infact one of d lecturers whom am very close to even advised me nt to continue with ma Masters Degree in dat school after one of d meetings wich aparantly had me n two odas as an agenda. I was shocked to d marrows! These were his words, "Bassey, i'll advise you nt to continue wit your Masters degree in dis department. Tel same to Ifeoma. Its better u go to ur homestate n continue there or u get a scholarship, go overseas to oxford or liverpool. Dats where ur kind can make impact wit ur inteligence n d graphics n computer software skils u've got". Oboy there n then i made up my mind nt to return to d school for any carry ova. Like i said in ma first post, i work xtra hard! I almost ran mad! D only nite i spent at home was saturday n sunday nytes. Others nytes i was in d fellowship wit felow jackass. (i even 4got to say dat d felowships e.G casor, nifes Efac, Grace, Rccg, su, mfm campus felowship centres were nt left our cuz d schools (numbering more than 20 including st joseph, n st anthony big reading centres were kinda overcrowded) nt 4getin d popular Garba square etc)
I admire Unilag n oda great schols like UNN, UI UNILORIN, CONVENANT (plz name more! Nt glorified secondary schools o o!). Inteligent graduated students frm these schools can compete with any school in da world! Its a fact! No beafing! Guy if u good, u good! If u inteligent, u go make am anywhere dats just d leson of my story! I aim for d moon always n if i dnt reach it, i land amongst d stars! They neva tot me graphics or computer software engineering bt i had to personaly hold on to sumtin in schol, dat way i ranked in cash n worked for companies in dsignin adverts etc. I worked, formated n generaly repair computer softwares! NA BABA GOD NONI e no join d mass com where i read o! Bt na God!
And a little advise to all, a certificate can burn bt wats in da certified can neva burn. Like peak milk wud say "its in you!" u can do it! Hold four tins to urself
GOD
YOURSELF
GOOD FRIENDS
YOUR FAMILY
Learn new tins! Seek to know! Aspire to flow in d realm of d best! If u no make 1st class, 2nd class or even 3rd class, its nt d end of d world! U can employ those who have all d degres n phDs! KNOW UR PURPOSE IN LIFE n no FORCE CAN REPOSE YOU! GOODLUCK TO ALL STUDENTS, IT IS WELL IN JESUS NAME!

Emperoh:
While i agree with most of you that Anambra has dwindled in governance fortunes since 2011
when he got his second tenure, i totally disagree that Obi is a monumental failure.

let me state here that i hold no brief for the Governor or any of his cronies, but i know the difference
between the different tenures i witness since 1999

What is happening to Obi is tantamount to my initial believe and one which i share with a close cousin that Second tenure
bred impunity. . . .check all the governors in their last lap and tell me if any story that is different.
Unfortunately, i was among those clamouring for Obi's return after an impressive run out in his first term (pls these are my opinion). To some extent, we felt a feeling of governance with things being done as at and when due. Our roads continued the upward movement that Chris Ngige initiated and other aspects of governance receiving adequate attention when needed. We had workers who were paid albeit lowly, timely payment of pension to retired worker and our debt profile coming to a very low level.

But the man is gradually quashing his own achievements with his ambition. I wonder whether getting in touch
with government at the centre really guarantees anyone anything. But his constant hobnobbing with the PDP government may have triggered the transfer of the PDP disease to Peter Obi. I had thought that with his experience with the PDP government during the fight of his life for his tenure, Mr. Obi would have distanced himself from any relationship with the PDP government at the centre.

I had expected a governor who would build on his legal success and build something out of the APGA government.
But lo, it's one internal fight after the other. Snatching tickets meant for his APGA loyalists and handing them over to PDP decampees. Imagine the likes of Chuma Nzeribe and Uche Ekwunife in APGA!!!

But these are not really where my problem lies. It is with the inability of the governor to think creatively and exit that straight-jacketed manner of thinking; in terms of doing what the law says government should. But rather look beyond the normal and harness the budding human resources in the state to its benefit. We have the most successful set of people in black Africa and i can imagine the number who are yet to be discovered. It is not enough for government to build roads, rehabilitate schools, provide healthcare and basic infrastructure. . . . .what about those policies and laws that can stimulate the states resources? Even in the area of infrastructure, i can hardly find any Federal project Mr. Obi's government has embarked upon. This is despite his rapport with Aso Rock. Where then is the benefit of his relationship with the President. Yes we boast about the best road network in the South East but the entrance to our state from Enugu and Onitsha leaves a lot to be desired. The Asaba end of the highway is a Federal Road; it was done by the Delta State government. Why can't Mr. Obi replicate same and retrieve his money from Abuja; since he is close to them and Mr. Ngige did the same.
It is totally disheartening to see that this is a failure that will be self inflicted. Posterity would have held him in high regard if he had kept up with the first term momentum but trust leaders to grow a whole new identity when they become the Lord of the manor.
But what I totally disagree with is that Obi is a failure as a Governor. He did quite well in the first continuing from where Chris Ngige stopped

Wait o o! Who u write all this desertation 4? If to say everybody de write long notes like u space go dey 4 nairaland again? Only ur 1st paragraph make me understand wetin u mean na. . .

122 graduates! Oh Ma Goshy Gosh! Is it me or is it dat UNIZIK is infiltrated with sadists as lecturers! Oboy some of these lecturers gud bt wicked! Last convocation na 10,041 dem graduate bt na only 1,041 make result were Nigerian companies understand (i.e 2nd class uper n 1st class). Out of which only 41 make 1st class (pathetic isn't it). Even d 4.1 were i carry run last year July na b say them don pana beat me tire. After i carry 1st class enter level 200, dem fail me o o! 4 yr 3 weda na juju dem use make me enta medical centre miss two courses. Bt 4 final year i jus cover up evrytin, work extra hard, write xtra two courses were i miss plus project, n al wahala here n there. Infact i give God da glory say i make am n i dey serve nex month! God be praise! Bt da school eh? Anybody were know am go agree say EVERY SECONDARY SCHOOL IN AWKA IS A NIGHT AND DAY READING CENTRE!

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO link=topic=870945.msg10198054#msg10198054 date=1329266281]^^^Inasmuch as there have been concerted efforts over the decades by the Bastards that've controlled gov't at the centre to deny Ndigbo an enabling economic environment that will give us the tools to develop and improve our lot, i'm of the opinion that -the pitfalls and diabolical scheming notwithstanding- we ought have progressed far better in all indices than is presently the case.

What we as a people have done is to rest on our battered oars, and be content with progressing at a pace dictated by the centre: a centre that until recently didn't give two shi*ts about tapping into the relative strengths of the human and material resources that abound in the region. I'm no Nostradamus but i can tell you for nothing that this nonsense WILL CONTINUE for as long as we collectively refuse to take our destiny in our hands, and chart a developmental course driven, managed and funded mainly by Ndigbo at home and in diaspora.

We have not been too bright (putting it mildly) in electing Sons/Daughters into public office that have the vision, zeal and mental capacity to take their respective constituencies to a higher enviable level. Of the five states in the South East, i can honestly say (and i'm entitled to my opinion) that i have a positive feeling for the state leadership in only two (Imo and Enugu), and i'm sure any nuetral observer will agree with me. The rest states just seem to have clueless gov'ts that haven't got the faintest idea how to manage and bring out the best in their people/resources. They seem to have no vision on where to take their states and it seems they ran for office just to be called 'Your Excellency'.

Also, our representatives in Assembly and Federal Gov't seem to be there just for what they can get out it, and it seems they're afraid to take the President to task on promises yet unfulfilled: like the Onitsha River Port that we were told would be commissioned in Oct' last year. Yet you hear of private and gov't projects being planned and commissioned almost on a fortnightly basis in other regions.

One of our problems seems to be the fact we don't have a 'leader'; someone that can knock heads together, tell it as it is and get things done; someone that would enable us think and speak with one voice, with everyone pulling in one direction.

Oh well!!! God dey.[/quote]U too dey talk sef! Na just question them ask, u dey write term paper. Wel sha, d lines i read make sense, KUDOS!

Please guys am stil waiting 4 a response

d guy almost even get red hand sef!

Almost all Federal Universites in Nigeria make use of the 5.0 point grading system. Unizik where i graduated from last year is an example! 4.1 which i made by God's grace was a second class upper honours. 4.5 to 5.0 gives a first class! Other schools use higher, while others, lower. The conversion is however wats confusing. Why cant a unified system be used in Nigeria!

And this made front page.! Braaavoo!
