The first form of literacy and numeracy in Nigeria is in Arabic. The Northerners joined the western education fray slower and later, but they were the first of all to read and write in Arabic. Fulfulde and Hausa (written in Arabic ligature), the first Nigerians in Northern African universities predating the advent of western education and Nigeria's colonists........ I would expand more, but, for wetin?

I am given to discouraging all this gloating over the 'backwardness' of OTHERS while priding in the achievement of OTHERS.

......breathing easy, minding my mind.

You are absolutely right. The first literate in Nigeria are the northerners. Some of them went as far as Timbuktu in Mali, Fez in Morroco and Cairo in Egypt to study. They were the first to get scholarships in Nigeria via Islamic Education.
It is well written and documented in Nigeria history of education.

The bible speaks against polygamy....
The formula is one man, one wife.
1+1=1 in marriage.

But Jacob, Abraham and Moses all had more than one wife.

What do you expect? How much does it cost? For those talking about free education in some Western countries, they achieve that by higher tax. Socialist countries charge their citizens high and in return provide those services. What percentage of Nigerians even pay tax at all? For the ones that pay, is it not still looted to build mansions abroad? I wish it was possible to privatise all these federal universities so that private investors would at least clean these schools up. But then, that equates to high school fees. That the average man probably wouldn't be able to pay. Universities need funding, and that's what people don't understand. Which prominent research are these federal universities doing to attract grants from private investors? In America the easiest ways to pay for University education are to either join the military or take a student loan that would probably take you 20 years to pay back. Which Nigerians would be willing to take that kind of loan (gets up to $40k per session) when they know that after graduation there are no jobs? At least there in the US just a small percentage of their adults go to the university but here in Nigeria everyone wants to be a graduate, not because of passion but because you can't earn a living with waec result. I don't know how to explain it sef, I'm just ranting right now. Dont know if Im making any sense anymore. The situation with education (and most other things in Nigeria) is a circle of failure. I wonder what it'll take to make this country actually work.

Nice comment.

Am sure, some people will start blaming govt. Some students are pigs, they will use water closet, they won't flush. Some write rubbish on the wall.

Spanish govt self na Mafia. They seized Ballot boxes from the catalonia agitators.

I hope TSTV won't fumble, I can't wait to dump those South African company called multi choice. I don't know why I just dislike South Africans companies in Nigeria, may be because the way they treat Nigerians in their country.

Get skill get skill please which skills. Nothing you would think of learning that hasn't been populated.

Seriously! You wonder which skills to learn again. Some even learnt the skills, but still jobless.

Wonders shall never cease. I swear to God, I sent an email to this consulting firm. May be because, am a Muslim that is why they never replied me.

Bro we are in it together. Even to learn skills, is it not money you will pay. I won NIIT partial scholarship with an outstanding grade na money chase me out.
Since I don't have money to learn skills have started learning programming on my own and learning two foreign languages on may own via Internet.

720 hours, that is most subscription would last more than 30 days because, some people don't have time to watch TV on weekdays except Saturday coupled with the epileptic power supply.

Nice one from NYSC/YCT. The Fasasi guy should go and repeat HND 2. Corrupt guy.

Be a private person. Don't share everything on social media

In Unilag, you apply on the school website, pay through Remita. But the charges varies based on the continent (international schools). You will be notified through your email.

SnowJay92:
They won't have to neocolonize anybody if our people don't flock to their countries to constitute nuisance, it feels unpatriotic to sound this way, but it's the hard truth, think on it!

You are right, but neocolonialism started when the imperialist install and support tyrant leaders in Africa and third world nations. They put pressure on Africa by using IMF to control her resources, wage unneccessary war which leads to economic downturn in African nations. Won't African citizens go for greener pastures in their nations.

Look at the influx of refugees in Europe, who created the mess? US and NATO.

Greatzeus:
It's called slave master syndrome,if it's white people doing it,it must be right,they are white.

Neocolonialism, one of the factors affecting Africa. God bless you man.

Greatzeus:
Who said it does? Idiot,it's like you don't have elders at home or your parents just ignored their responsibility of training you probably . How does my comment warrant the word dumb.
Zimbabwean Constitution with that of some African countries do not have time limit too,yet they are being criticised for holding on to power for so long.

Bro don't mind those hypocrites (western nations). Were they not the one criticising Robert Mugabe.

lovelygurl:
The German constitution doesn't really have a time limit

I know that. But the hypocrisy of the western nations is getting out of hands. If you aren't their friend they will antagonise your constitution.

Ich brauche ein Visum für Deutschland.

Had it been is an African leader, am sure the international community won't be praising her. 4th term! All the same, congratulations to the people of Deutschland.

I wasn't suprised about Morata, if you do watch Serie A, you should know is a complete striker.
Haters calling him headmaster done shut up.

miniziter:
Do you work there?

That guy is saying the truth. I served in Okada, I know a lot about the school. I even have one girl there studying. Her father is a lecturer in that school.

Igbinedion University, those people dey owe their workers salaries. Good luck to people that want to apply.

DatLagboi:
Main reason I hate sports and stressing my heart which always beats fast

Who told you that sport is harmful? Am sure the deceased guy must have had a heart related diseases which never occurred to him. I could remember when I did my medicals back then in school. Some students were referred to the teaching hospital after they found hole in their heart.

Sport is very good for the body.

Python will soon dance for them. The dirty water wey una drink never do una. IPOB try nonsense and you will be dead.

the day I saw an army lady drilling a grown azz man was the day I decided that they are more deadly than their male counterpart. make una carry una love go abeg

#loving in bondage

You are absolutely right. That was the exact statement my platoon commander told us during Orientation camp. He said, we should be careful about the female military personnel, he said they are more dangerous than the guys.

Was it not 2 days ago I read about female Ghanaian Soldiers complaining that guys don't walk up to them for relationships. That they need love just like the civilian ladies want love too...

ashjay001:
Dont mind op joor. But, russia isnt even trying to fight corruption! U just know d right pple!? Vocal opposition party members are killed regularly!

That is the problem I have with Putin, clamping down on oppositions. But he is clamping down on corrupt officials, the Oligarchs that brought him to power have all fled Russia because he couldn't down to their tunes. I watched one video where he questioned one contractor that abandoned a project.

Mikhail Kalashnikov what a great inventor. I don't see anything bad in creating weapons.

ashjay001:
If u think naija is more corrupt than russia, then u need to do a lot more reading!?

We're learning, when compared to russia, in all ramifications! Political, economical, military, criminally.

Even the USA is corrupt they are practising Oligarchy in the form of democracy, despite the Chinese govt using capital punishment to curb corruption, some he/she goat are still embezzling funds and abuse of power in their country. No country is free of corruption.

splenzard:
I'm I the only one who learnt the full meaning of AK-47 here or we dey plenty?

Have known the full meaning since 2009 through this show, who want to be a millionaire.

Gracyswizy:
I want to learn Enugu language, volunteers plsss

Which one be Enugu language again?

Some people need to be taken to a psychiatrist. Some are even saying PMB should be talking about only Nigerian issue in UNGA. There is a theme for this 72nd UNGA which is about Peace and development around the world. PMB's speech explained everything about instabilities around the world(Nigeria inclusive) and he proffered solution to it. Some idiots are talking about Biafra, if you want your Biafra tell your representative in the National Assembly to push for it. Do you think international countries care about your Biafra? You people are bunch of jokers.

God Bless President Buhari.
God bless Nigeria.
