What have you achieved with B.sc?

exactly my ponit. He is now the governor of his state.

Met most of them at NYSC orientation camp, they cant even fill a single form without assistance.

CERTIFICATE CELEBRANTS.

What is it that a Bsc holder can do and HND cant? It should be about competent/performance not certificate. Give everybody a level playing field and let see results. Not certificate celebrant.

Then going with your analysis, let the govt scrap HND then, to avoid disparity and descrimination.

fratermathy:
This is getting too old and stale.

While I do not support totally embarrassing HND graduates and denying them of promotions, appointments and a chance to make a successful career, it should be noted that HND and B.Sc/B.A/B.Agric/B.Tech/LL.B/B.Fisheries are different and the dichotomy must be emphasised.
HND is a technical diploma. It is technically not even a Degree but a National Diploma. B.Sc and its other appellations are the recognised standard for academic, theoretical and career based jobs and appointments. That is not to say HND cannot be used. It is just that HND is better off for handy middle-levelled and technical jobs/careers. The whole essence of HND is to make sure that there are middle-levelled skilled people in the society that can be called upon and relied on for their technical expertise. University graduates are seen as having done a theoretical study with much intellectual rigour and are, thus, deemed to have a high intellectual acuity for certain professions and careers. This must be known and not relegated. No matter how much sentiments come in and no matter how much we try to equate these certifications, the sacrosanct fact is that they are not the same. As long as one is a "Diploma" and another is a "Degree", they can NEVER be treated equal and same.

On the issue of Shell equating HND with Third Class, I have iterated in the previous paragraph that HND is not seen as an intellectually inclined degree but rather as a technically inclined diploma. Having a Distinction in HND only proves that you have an excellent technical expertise, perhaps even beyond that of University Degree holders. However, this does not translate into the fact that you are intellectually buoyant enough to stand a University First Class product. It doesn't add up. For one, our Nigerian Polytechnics operate a 4 points GPA system as opposed to the 5 Points used in our Nigerian varsities. Secondly, the units of courses taken in HND programmes are far lower, both individually and cumulatively, when compared with a University. Thirdly, the course contents in Polytechnics are peripheral and elementary as opposed to that of a University! Fourthly, the calibre of academic staff and their standing is much lower than that of a University. For one, a Polytechnic cannot have a Professorial Cadre! Polytechnics usually have substandard facilities and make-shift labs and instruments. All these come together to haunt the graduates of Nigerian Polytechnics!

The solution to all these bifurcations is easy. Polytechnics should be made to award a B.Tech rather than an "Ordinary" or "Higher" diploma. Polytechnic facilities should be overhauled and made to standards. The Professorial Cadre, alongside its competitive and cumbersome "floating" process, should be introduced to the Polytechnics. Polytechnics should employ the 5 or more Points GPA system and courses should be well developed, standard and carry higher units! In fact, the term Polytechnic should be hijacked from parlance and replaced with University of Technology or any other soothing appellation. We should always strive to follow the UK pattern in our technological pedagogical system.

Finally, on the issue of ostracization and stigmatization, I believe it is only Nigerian Legislative Bodies that can end this once and for all. As long as they are comfortable with it, nothing will change! Let's just stop flogging this issue and look forward to better things! This issue has been discussed, ignited and quenched severally since Nigerian employers' decisions to employ preferential treatments! It is time we either take drastic measures or simply let it go as we have always done.

#MyTake
Mr. Baminasri, I am sorry about your plight! Your best is yet to come. I'd advise you to get a PGD and possibly a Masters though.

Freemanan, Freeemanan, Goodboiy, Scholes0, LordAdam; What do you think?

James lbori is a yoloba man, a fulani slave period. Since he as decided to speak against the biafratsssssss.

As long as the fire is burning in the biafrats region. Wetin concern Nigerians with una fir.
If una like make una roast una sef with the fire.

WHOOO CARESSSS...!!!

Is this what u call peaceful protest by an unarmed citizens? Hmmmmm, l dey laff ooooooooo, continue ur barricade until una barricade NAVY/ ARMY barracks.


I wish u guys well in ur struggle.

Who will elect successionist as president? Which part of the world does that ?


Biafra is much more possible than voting a successionist as president as it stand now.

But the biafrats should go about it peacefully or else, we are talking about the Ijaws becoming the majority in that region at the end of hostility here.

The very day DSP Ekweremadu and Akpabio resign their post for the sake of Biafra,

-the day my good friend UCHE DIKE lock his shop at Orile, go to Awka and refuse to come back,


then no prophet can convince me that biafrats is not real. But until then, biafrats still remain Kanu's and his fellow rats long time dream. May be vision 5050.

Can HND graduates apply for this SHELL programme?

Electoral shock is worse than electric shock
heeeeeeeekiiiiikoooooohaaaaa
APC using pdpits to mop up their own vomit.

Wetin concern BABA GO-SLOW, with pdpits and its defeated and pained errand touts.

SAI BABA has serious issues to attend to, than listen to some 5% miscreant.

5% noise cannot be louder than the remaining 95%

Chief wailer, hw far?
Why bring religion into this?
I no y u dey reason like this, ur hair don full again abi? Oya go barb am,l go pay later.

chukwudi44:
Though the judgement would be appealed,they better be careful trying to foist a muslim as a Governor in a state like Taraba!!

Just like the DG campaign for ogun state APC said on channels tv
" we have been in opposition for 16yrs, so we have became election petitions professors, unlike the pdpits, who are still learners in court matters because impunity is there watchword".

U too talk. Work ur talk. Shey una brave abi? Oya make una organise the march na, leave story.

By the way, have u removed the fulani flag in Abia ?

xtrorse:
This is epic: "Yorubas are perpetual slaves to Northern Herdsmen" - Falae, 2015

It is so sad that Falae is just realizing this in 2015. History has it that Afonja sold part of Western Nigeria to the Fulanis. Tinubu sold the remaining parts in 2014/2015. 

Who insulted the VP Osinbajo.? Elrufai! Who called Osinbajo mere commissioner? Saraki!

It's pathetic to see some slaves blaming the freeborn people for the kidnap despite Falae's confession

Falae was kidnapped from his farmland in Ondo State, Yoruba land by 6 Fulani ragtags in the presence of 200 Yoruba cowards like you. And what some of you could do is blame the Igbos who are peacefully doing their businesses.

The Fulani herdsmen even warned Falae that if he talks carelessly they will come again and kidnap him. What an affront on the loud-mouthed Yoruba tribe?

https://www.nairaland.com/2631382/cannot-continue-slaves-yorubaland-olu/4

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/i-paid-ransom-to-regain-my-freedom-falae-confesses/221463/

At least the cowardly Yoruba tribe should have sent Diya to prostrate and weep on their behalf. Or Oba Akiolu to threaten their Fulani masters with Sango, Shopono, lagoon and evil forest!    

Awo gave the Gambaris the right to take advantage of Yorubas by killing their leaders with reckless abandon. Just few days ago an Almajiri like Kwankwaso came all the way from Kano, assembled cowardly Yoruba leaders in Ibadan and told them to shut up! Shameless coneheads!

So ur mama has finally pay up? Good to hear that. Oya return to class and learn how to reason like a mature adult.

o42austino:
until u learn how to make inform discussion without insults then I will not give u my time.... Like I tell ur age mates.. Run along collect school fee from ur mama it's time to pay up.

So where was Kanu arrested? Right here in Lasgidi. Make una try march na. Shey na una brave pass, March and let see na. the flogging go pass Akure own.

xtrorse:
That was how you boasted and threatened should Radio Biafra reach Lagos. And for a couple of months now RB has been blaring in Lagos and some of you even tune in to hear the latest truth for your emancipation.

Thanks for saying u have never been ban. Pls take note, NL was before you and it will continue after you depart.

Moreso NL was not created to promote biafrats REPUBLIC? Have you ever seen arewa or oduduwa thread makes it to the front page?

Stop wailing and leave if u want to, pls do us a favour take ur fellow wailers along you oooooo.

GERRRRERAAAA OUT OF HERE MEEEEEEEEEEN...!!!

so no come use ur own raggae spoil another man blues.

o42austino:
I wish I will never say this, I have been on Nigeria land since 2013 without been ban for once or make any religious or ethnic comments but, I must say that the Nairaland I know before is not the Nairaland I know now, apart from kids fighting tribal wars here the most annoying thing is the fact that no Probifran topics makes it to the front page, most of the topics are deleted by the MODs and my question is where is fairness in all this, why have Nairaland that is so informative go this low?, why has seun decided to block off the biafra struggle?,i will not disturb my self with this think for now but, this is a wake up call to the youth from the land of the raising sun the computer gurus among us must create another forum for us and the Language must be English so that communication with our brothers from SS and we'll wishers from SW will easily communicate with us. From the last census on nairaland.com the igbo speaking States of Anambra and Imo made it to first three populous States with members on nairaland.com and that to me is Raw power and traffic, so brothers that are high tech on website design can come up with a forum and we the Biafrans here will generate traffic for u. Remember the forum will not be all about Biafra, it will discuss all issues from politics, tech, pet, sports e.t.c, Remember that no one will tell ur story or else u tell it and Nairaland is suppressing our voice in telling our story to the world.

In this same country they call zoo, only the yeebos want
-biafra
-Lagos
-P/H
-president
-Abuja
Even the real Jews are not as greedy as this.
Yeebos,l hail thee.

Just an advise to the yeebos, if u really want to test ur popularity and strenght in Lagos. Pls organised the one-million biafrats march in Lagos as you did today and let see who really own Lagos.

Yeebos of all the over 300 somthing tribes, a threat to the yolobas? Igbo bawo, won kere si number wa na.
Kiiiiikaaaahaaaaaahiiiiiheeeee
How? Where? What?

U come finish ursef talk say, u no go comot for Lagos, haaaaaaaa, shebi lagos dey biafrats map?


Whether Nigeria divide into 50 tomorrow an average yoruba man careless.

Bobbystanley:
Speaking from my experience here on Nairaland, I've come to realise that the Igbos are great threat to their Yoruba counterparts.

They Yoruba's.believe that nothing Good comes out from the Igbos. But they Igbos are rare gems, Hardworking set of people who make something out of nothing.

Yoruba's would always tell the Igbos to go back to their land forgetting that it Is the one Nigeria their forefathers craved for. They Igbos are Landlords to Yoruba's in many parts of lagos. But to be honest, it Is too late for Igbos to vacate Lagos.

Its belongs to every Nigerian. It Is no man's land.

Because 5% noisemakers cant be louder than 95% noisemakers.

Women shaaa, so you were blind, when he was wooing u right? Abi him force you enter d marriage?

While e be like say na d guys pocket physique she no like?

Kiiiikiiiiiiii,haaaaaahiiiihoooo

Bros no vex oooo, even Obanikoro no say u be "LIEist"
na which fight obanikoro don ever win politically? He could not achieve his political ambition neither can he help his son to fulfil his.

Obanikoro is an all round loser but a good political sycophant/jobber. Dont be surprise to see him in APC before the next election.

nnafather:
Just bow down and go. You fought a good fight...for Nigerians not to fall into the hands of political robbers. You were injured trying to save the blind followers of the old men's club (APC). Now they know better...they look them in the eyes and laugh...deny all promises. Obanikoro! The great fighter! Well done! You won,they lost.

Obanikoro retire? Abi l no hear well? Na APC give Obanikoro forceful retirement oooooo

if l hear, even Obanikoro cannot look me in my korokoro eyes and tell me dat "o boi yeee, l yav retire from chop and clean mouth politics"

As long as Ekweremadu remains DSP of Nigeria
Akpabio still remain ML of Nigera,
Nwakali/lheanacho/Mikel still play in green white green jersey,
My friend Uche Dike/ Anike Inoocent are still living large @ Orile,
All the SEn gov. Still go to Abuja to collect their share of the National cake,
Both the online/offline biafratssss still travel with Nigerian passport
GEJ still collect allowances/severance pay from Nigeria
Biafra is still sitting on a longgggggg thing.

Abeg na wen IPOB go come protest for Abuja and Lagos? Until they do this, l dont bliv in IPOB.

Biafrats the only online country with online citizen but no president.

The truth is bitter sha but
Guy, d biafratsss no go like this your sermon oooo, dem fit send Amadioha to u ooooo or dem go call u "YOOLOOBBAAA"

moscow37d:
So recent Biafran protests have got me thinking, but I have been skeptical about airing my views because of perceived reactions.

DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE PERSONAL VIEWS, AND I, IN NO WAY CLAIM SUPREMACY OF KNOWLEDGE. FOR THE "GREYS" WHO THINK I AM TOO YOUNG TO SPEAK OF THIS SUBJECT, PLEASE PERMIT THIS CHILD TO SPEAK, THEN CORRECT HIM IF HE IS WRONG. FOR IGNORANCE CAN ONLY BE KNOWN IF IT IS AIRED, AND CAN ONLY BE CORRECTED IF IT IS KNOWN.

My points are as follows:

1. According to worldometers the median age of Nigeria is 17.8, hence an "average " did not experience the civil war.

2.This is the age statistics of Nigeria as at 2014 is as follows:
0-14 years: 43.2%
15-24 years: 19.3%
25-54 years: 30.5%
55-64 years: 3.9%
65 years and over: 3.1% (indexmundi.com)
In simpler statistics 93% of Nigerians were 5 and below in 1967.

3. According to Wikipedia, youth age range is between 18-35. Hence no present day Nigerian youth saw the civil war.

My first question: since over 90% percent of us neither saw the civil war nor participated actively, and our youth were born 10 years after the war, where is all the hate and agitation from?

4. The major driving force of Biafra is the igboland, but the Biafran map includes states like Cross river, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom state. This makes Biafra a culturally diverse state. I am igbo and i currently live in Akwa Ibom state, and we share no similarity in custom or language. How then can we live together as "one Biafra" when we can't tolerate the cultural diversity of Nigeria.

5. The Igbo tribe would become the majority tribe in Biafra, while the others who constitute the oil producing states hence the 'rich boys' would become minority. "How can the wealth most especially that from oil be distributed, when the majority is in power and the minority have the resource?"
So therefore, a time may come when the "minority" may decide to be free, because no man wants to live in another man's shadow.

6. Igbos are generally regarded as traders, and the lifeblood of their markets like Onitsha Main market and Ariaria international market is found in Lagos seaport where most of the goods come from. In Biafra, Lagos becomes another country hence tax and import/ export levies would increase drastically and logistics would become more difficult.
The other option is to trade via the Calabar Port, Delta Port or Rivers Port at Port Harcourt, and Onne. These ports are only found in the non-igbo states, hence another potential challenge.

7. What happens to Biafrans that have their livelihood rooted deeply in non biafran states? What happens to the igbos that constitute the majority of Alaba international market?
Would naturalization take place or would they liquidate assets and return to Biafra and start afresh?

8. Finally, the question of rulership. Who rules Biafra?
Currently, most Igbo people especially those in Abia and Imo state are dissatisfied with the condition of their states. They complain of bad government, massive looting, poor infrastructures etc, and they are currently ruled by Igbo governors.
If Biafra is formed who would rule then?
I believe it would be the same people that they complain of, and as you can see the cycle of pain and complaints would continue.

Problems are fixed by inward reflections not outward projections and blame shifting.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, FOR A CHILD WHO DID NOT SEE THE WAR HAS SPOKEN

Only 1 pere ? We tell them ooooo, after them go say why one region plenty pass them? Na so dem go dey reduce small small ooooo. While 2019 is around the corner let the counting countinue

The day l hear that e-lord like u and ur likes blew themselves up for the sake of biafrats, then l will start taking u guys serious.

If not, biafrats remain an online country with online citizen without a president. #guinness book of record

Kiikiiiikiiiiiikiiii
haaaaheeeeehoooo


so there have been a mass-murder of fulanis in Enugu right? Clap for yasef and ya people, am happy for u and ya pple

But dont come here and complain that Baba go-slow look the other way when the fulanis descend on your people ooooooo
