A senior Nigerian academic has said most Nigerian graduates cannot write, speak and think, and cannot function properly as professionals. They lack the requisite skills and are largely unemployable.

Dr. Doyin Salami, an Associate Professor and Faculty Member at the Lagos Business School, made this assertion at the 2017 TAMS Summit in Lagos recently where he was the Keynote Speaker.

The university don, who delivered an address on the theme, “Boosting Employee Performance beyond Pecuniary Benefits”, described as pitiable the inability of most Nigerian graduates to either write, speak or independently think for themselves, as experienced from the several job interviews he had conducted.

8 reasons to study in Holland

Why should you study in Holland?

Did you know that 1 in 10 students in Holland is an international student? Holland has more than 90,000 international students and that number is increasing every year. So why should you study in Holland?

1. There are 2,100 + programmes in English

Dutch universities offer the largest number of English-taught programmes in continental Europe. Also, 95% of the Dutch speak English, so it’s easy to communicate in daily life.

Find your study programme

2. Get high quality education and value for your money

The quality of Dutch institutions is well-recognised. The tuition fees and cost of living are considerably lower than in English-speaking countries.

Also, there are lots of scholarship opportunities.

3. Be part of an international community

Holland’s many international students come from 190 different countries. Dutch society is strongly connected to other cultures, the business community and the world. The Dutch are open-minded and direct, so it is easy to meet them and exchange ideas.

4. Develop valuable skills and be more successful

The Dutch teaching style is interactive and student-centred. Studying in Holland means developing your own opinion, an open mind and increasing your international orientation. You will develop valuable skills such as analysing, solving practical problems and creative thinking.

5. Live in one of the safest and happiest countries in the world

Holland is one of the safest countries in the world, according to the 2016 Global Peace index and belongs to the top 10 happiest countries in the world. Read more about the good Dutch standard of living in the OECD’s Better Life Index.

6. Have the rest of Europe at your doorstep

An international trip is just around the corner. In just three hours you can be in Paris. London and Berlin are just a five or six hour train ride away. Holland is the gateway to Europe!

7. Get plenty of international career opportunities

Holland is the 17th largest economy in the world. Some of the world’s biggest multinationals, including Philips, Heineken, KLM, Shell, ING and Unilever, are Dutch. Holland is a world leader in many areas of expertise, including agriculture, water management, art & design, logistics and sustainable energy.

8. Start a career in Holland after graduation

The Dutch government wants to attract knowledge and retain talent. International graduates can therefore apply for a residence permit of one year to find a job, or start a business within three years of graduation. For more info on this orientation year as well as tips on how to find a job go to the career in Holland website and join our Holland Alumni network to increase your chances on the job market.

Hello All,

I need a web developer to create a landing page for an online campaign.

They knew they'd get away with it because :

Our government don't care
We as an individuals don't really care. I'm sure they were some other Nigerians at Ataturk airport when this happened/was happened but they will "mind your business and move on"
Our local airlines do worst and nothing happens. no one is sanctioned or made to pay compensation.

That is IF this story is true. .

Not any longer. More private sector people are getting into government and things are happening gradually...See below na:

Last year, Nigerian government dragged Turkish Airlines before a Federal High Court in Abuja over the alleged criminal violation of the enabling law of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) and for impunity.

The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), filed a three-count charge against the airline and two of its principal officers, Liker Ayci and Rasak Shobowale, the airline’s board chairman and commercial manager, respectively, before court.

The prosecution was as a result of the refusal by Turkish Airlines to respond to the lawful requests from CPC for a full situation report on the airline’s alleged shoddy treatment of passengers on Flight TK 623 from Istanbul to Abuja on 25th and 31st of December 2015 and 9th of January 2016, which prompted the council to approach the Office of the Attorney General for the prosecution of the airline.
Rather than take the rights of the Nigerian consumer seriously, the same airline once again allegedly abandoned meted out same shoddy treatment to students and teachers of Glisten International College, Abuja in Istanbul, Turkey, over the inability of Turkish Airlines to airlift them back to Nigeria as scheduled.

The students between the ages of 11 and 15, according to a Nigeria Communications Weekly report, were made to sleep at the resting area of the airport terminal over night with just blankets provided them by the management of the airline instead of a standard hotel accommodation.

I have a BA in Philosophy and have worked in sectors that include the media, bilateral trade, information and communication technology, aviation, investment banking, consulting, FMCG and development finance.

My wife also studied philosophy - she works for a tech firm.

My course-of-study/degree certificate did not get me my first job. Fledging writing skill and extra-curricula activity in the university working on several editorial boards did. The rest as they say is history.

My thoughts: Seek professional certification in PR (NIPR), Advertising (APCON), Marketing (NIMN), HR (CIPM), Digital Marketing (Free Google trainings), Journalism (NUJ) etc.

While seeking your choice certification, volunteer for free with an organisation in your area of interest to build capacity and acquire requisite skills... And everything good will come!

Men of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) have barricaded the road leading to the business premises of Chi Limited (Tropical General Investment), foremost manufacturers of Chivita 100%, Chi Exotic, Yogurts variants and other numerous snack brands.

News reaching us indicate that employees of staff of Chi Limited are protesting arrears of unpaid allowance by the company. This prompted men of the police force to barricade the access roads to the factory to deny the protesting staff of Chi entry into the company premises...

Ghanaian University Sends Out Bayelsa Undergraduates From Hostels, Bars Them From Writing Exams


Scholarship students from Bayelsa State studying at King’s University College, Accra, Ghana, are facing trying times. They were denied access to examination halls and the institution’s hostels, according to a Punch newspaper report.

This is happening more than three weeks after the Bayelsa State Government said that it had approved the payment of school fees for its stranded students studying abroad.
The government had on November 24, 2016, indicated that Governor Seriake Dickson released £300,000 and $450,000 for the payment of tuition for students of the state on scholarship abroad.

The Commissioner for Education, Mr. Markson Fefegha, was quoted then as saying that the release of the funds, despite the sharp decline in the revenue accruing to the state, was a show of the government’s commitment to the education of its people.

The commissioner had said the release of £250,000 was made to offset tuition and other fees of Bayelsa students studying for their doctorate degrees in the United Kingdom.

He had also said the sum of $150,000 was approved for Bayelsa students studying at the Lincoln University in the United States, as well as the payment if $40,000 to some Bayelsa students studying in Ghana...

let me short the story for the lazy ones:


muslim oga for one country ordered that some girls and their friend and also the family of their friend should be killed because they recorded a video of them dancing!

as the MUSLIM oga gave the order, na so some ISLAMIC ageberos hunt down the girls and their friends and their families and slaughter them!


The country where this bad thing happened is called AFGHANISTAN!

the capital of the country is called ISLAM.A.BAD!

Yes, honour killing is prevalent in Afghanistan but this happened in Pakistan.

Kohistani Case: For Dancing Together, Five Girls And Family Members Of Boy Killed In Pakistan


What is now globally known as the Kohistan case unfolded in a conservative rural region where social mingling between genders was taboo. Young girls’ participating in a co-educational singing party was risky enough, but someone posted the video on the Internet, where it spread rapidly, bringing shame on their community before the vast virtual world.

The head of the local jirga, a Muslim cleric, allegedly issued a religious decree ordering the five girls to be killed for dishonoring their tribe, along with the boy seen dancing and every member of his family. There was no resistance from the community. After the girls were disposed of, several brothers of the boy were also caught and killed. The rest of the family, including Afzal Kohistani, fled the area.

There things stood for more than a year. No crimes were reported and no one came to investigate. Kohistani, a college graduate from one of the area’s wealthier families, said he repeatedly approached local and provincial officials, reporting the killings and seeking protection, but was chided for opposing the jirga’s verdict...
