For long i have waited for this time to come when Nigerians will start calling out this "self-made thieves" called millionaires who insults out intelligence through cooked-up stories of how they made it. Folorunsho Alakija is a renowned prostitute amongst the political elites of yester years in Nigeria and hence the source of her wealth. But alas, we are here today, she's lecturing us on how she got oil well by faith.....rubbish
Education › Re: Think Twice Before Going For Masters Degree (m.sc) - Vincent Adeoba by Intrepid01(m): 7:57am On Feb 23, 2018
onlyme07:
I don't subcribe to your submission with lots of reasons.

First,presently in Nigeria,the labour market is saturated with Bsc from all corners and in order to have an edge,you need to proof you're still learning which Masters can do.

Secondly,some Universities in the labour market are not well recognised, hence some applications not attended to. I have witnessed tbis a number of times. The moment your Uni is not UI,Lag,Convenant,Babcock,Afe and the likes,you can only proove your worth with a second degree from all any of these Ivy universities.

Thirdly,very soon, Bsc will turn to SSCE since you can obtain it,if you have money but Masters Cert o)is a little bit difficult to buy (not saying you can't buy it) because all those Drs and Profs will make it difficult.

Furthermore,it takes the grace of God to combine Masters and work together especially if you work in a private coy. You should go for your Masters the moment you grad,it will show your employer you will require to leave office and attend classes.

Finally,go for your Mastes if you intend going into academics. It is the best edge over others.

I have lots but let me stop here and advise those who intend doing their Masters . Make hay while the sun shine.
Bros, your points are so flawed....since have been working for like 8 yrs now...inhave never seen anybody asking for Masters degree as an added advantage...even if it was obtained from abroad....you can ask experienced people around...so going for Masters does not in anyway boost your chances at all..intact it reduces it.

You also said some universities are not recognised at all, maybe those universities are not accredited by N.U.C....the moment you have a university degree with a minimum of second class upper you have a good chance , like others to get a job. I do tell people that to increase your chance of getting a job in Nigeria, just go to a university and graduate with 2:1, the course of study does not matter and you'll get a job.

With your third point, I can safely conclude that you are one of those carrying masters around thinking it gives you an edge...go and ask, it doesn't in anyway....you said B.Sc. will be like WAEC, for real? do you even know the basic qualification for getting a job anywhere in the world?.....you are simply a joker.

Thanks for your feedback on this topic. smiley
The biggest problems we get in life come
from the younger generation who may not
have paid attention to the history of their
parents... and end up making the same mistakes
that their grandparents or great-grandparents
made.



But just as you have said, the Japanese teach
their pre-WWII and post-WWII histories in
schools and via national monuments, so the
their elite and politicians have learned a big
lesson from the horrendous nuclear strikes
on Japan!



P.S. I have found the last document which
I said I'll scan for you. It is the one on Prof. Jide Osuntokun and the "Relationship Between
Ife and Benin." I have given instructions
that the scanned document of about 6 should be converted
to "jpeg" for attachment by email to you.
Thanks for your patience. smiley

Hey! That means another civil war will start from the church. Cardinal Anthony Okojie from Edo state was the Archbishop of Lagos for so many years and heaven did not fall. In fact, the Yorubas accepted and respected him as their Shepard and he turned out to be one of the best bishops any Yoruba state ever had
Infact he's now a Yoruba man, well his mum is Yoruba....once you settle in with Yorubas and show some loyalty, they'll take you as theirs....The reason you'll see Igbos wih chieftaincy titles in Ibadan.

Can Yoruba man be chairman of Islamic counsel of Nigeria?
Can Edo man be chief Inman of any mosque in the North? That is how politics revolves around religion in Nigeria. It is not about tribe. Bible says that the heart of man is insatiable.
Even in the present Nigeria, when you hear North , some states is more north than others.
Wow Wow Wow....what a poor analogy....yeah we all know the Country is greatly divided along ethic and religious lines but to see that Intra-tribal divisions is now slowly safe in is a big deal.....and being championed by our almighty BIAFRAN citizens is another TIME BOMB....

Imagine a Biafra where the problem of intra-tribal sentiments is the order of the day.... I have said it times and over, dividing this country won't solve any of our problems...we'll all be surprised to see that every problem associated with Nigeria will be found in evey new independent federating units.

Forget the jibe I threw at Igbos...the problem is pervasive.

You can all see how Biafra would be if and when it is actualised. Anambra no go gree for Imo, Abia sef go wan show say den be proper igbo...say of disorganised fifle......meanwhile an Ondo man is the Govr of Lagos and no Yoruba man cares...cos it is one Oodua....

Actually, you should be glad she's being honest. This is how all women think. All women. Look up the word "hypergamy". Liberate yourself and thank me later.
Hmmm..Nigerians and their unfounded statistical figures...All woman don't think like this...I've met and I know women who do t reason like this at all....My Cousin's husband ....from his own mouth, told me how his FIL (who was notably rich) told him I have no expectation for you, told him he never started from the top too and my Cousin was a type of woman sent to him from heaven....he told me all this with his own mouth.

The fact that we now have more ladies who do not have believe marriage values anymore or have faulty perception about marriage doesn't make it a general case.....The problem we all seem to be addressing from different angles; be it politics, marriage, religion etc...is the fast evading "Family Value" that is built on morality, loyalty, God's submission rather than societal dictate.

The other side of this story is really women should not marry less than what they currently have grin

I would want my children to live a better life than I have and to be honest I did have a good life so yes I see a situation where my family can offer to pay.

Whether it right or wrong depends on who you ask... yes it might not be good for the man ego but ego verus the children benefitting from having the best . In some cases it finding that right balance and be aligned in some of the fundamentals in life . I still prefer both parties marrying from similar class
You are the pefect example of the "woman-type" people have been saying every man should avoid....you really need to work on your psychic....riches and prosperity isn't a function of smartness or brilliance , therefore none is to be blamed for coming short in that regard.
I hope your intending suitors know what they are gunning for.

Japanish Yen JPY  (  1 JPY = 3.4020 NGN  )
Banknotes ¥1000, ¥2000, ¥5000, ¥10,000
Coins ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥50, ¥100, ¥500



 1 USD = 105.8455 JPY

Sir, alway check your facts before you make your comments.



When did the poor performing NGN become a stardard of measure of performance for other currency?

If 1JPY = 1 NGN, like you wrote, then the both currencies are poor performing and you should retract your statement of classifying Japanish Yen as part of top performing currencies in the world.

The only point you have is the import/export ratio which has helped the Japanish Yen to perform better than the NGN. It in a way nullify the effect of presence of the high face value e.g. 10,000 JYP currency Notes.
Bros, you really tried with your write up and I was relaxed when I saw that Caveat emptor...that guy you quoted and some other guys up there have said it all...if you read their write up carefully , you'll realise they were speaking from the position of undertanding rather than the position of 'mere observation'....you need to understand the difference between the 'face value'and 'purchasing value' of a currency.......

In as much as what you wrote as solution will improve the naira it won't have any significant impovement as you thought, until this fundamental factors mentioned by some writers up there are done.

You should also note thatthe biggest monetary corruption happening in Nigeria is largely "electronic" ...the days of "Ghana must go" is gradually phasing out. so no matter the size of the money to be shared, your denominations will be of no effect.

My people seeking spiritual help...please be careful so that you wont fall in to a deeper mess.

If you require spiritual help and you live in Lagos and its environ...just find your way to Prayer City along Lagos Ibadan Expressway.

MFM owns prayer city and it is all about praying and fasting...you can participate in the weekly deliverance session.

The weekly deliverance session happens every week throughout the year (Mon-Fri) at no cost. All you'll need to bring along will be anointing oil, toilet roll and make provision for your accommodation.

Some people's problems get solved even before the end of the weekly deliverance, some people after the deliverance session while osme take more than one deliverance session. It all depend on how deep your battle is. But one thing is sure, no matter how deep the battle is, you'll have your victory eventually....

God bless you.

Literature › Re: JP Clark, Achebe & Soyinka At Dodan Barracks In 1986 (Throwback Photo) by Intrepid01(m): 3:19pm On Dec 26, 2017
HeyCorleone:
I get your POV.

The Achebe you mentioned studied English Literature at U.I. So I don't understand why you singled him out. The Chimamanda you mentioned also graduated summa cum laude in Communications and Political science, has 2 Masters degree in Creative Arts and African study.

Why you mentioned those 2 people is quite beyond me because it seemed you were opposing my view.

It goes beyond saying that one must at least know the basics of literature before embarking on a project in the creative arts.

Education in Nigeria is one that doesn't do well to balance things up for people. Now, ask a science student in the University when last he did Literature, he'd say JS3 or before then, and any sane person knows Literature in Junior school was crap. Now tell me how can a person understand what exactly it is to write? It's not just enough to swallow all Sidney Sheldon's books or read anything by Stephen King or any other best seller. Do you really understand what it means to write? Do you understand the stages of a story? (conflict, climax, resolution) Do you have ideas of styles and techniques to employ in writing? And you want to write a book?? LoL..

Writing, whether we like it or not, is an art, and like all arts must be mastered, otherwise you'd be a very terrible writer. One of the very worst books I've read in recent times is "The Last Days Of Forcados High". Borrowed it from a neighbour's kid, and man was I depressed. The book was lacking in content. Fine the author had a nice story, but he doesn't know how to write. The depressing thing of all is the book is JAMB recommended.

Anyways, you mentioned some foreign names.. Lol.. These are writers who did literature and took part in literary activities till Grade 12, unlike here where they split us into departments. Surely they'd be grounded in literature. And also why in university, they may decide to minor in some art course, which is quite impossible here. So why won't they make brilliant writers after mastering the art of writing.

But here you have medical doctors who don't know the difference between a simile and a metaphor, who read all things medicine for fear of getting a 'C', and who have no idea about extensive writing coming out to write books or poems.

Lol..

That is why everything in Nigeria is awful. Because we just assume any dick can do any work in the field of art or the social sciences. That is why our Journalism is rubbish, our music rubbish, and the art of governance rubbish.
You're very much on point sir, "act of professionalism" can't be acquired wihout formal training. Apparently that is lacking in many so called writers. The sole reason I stopped reading Literatures on Nl,they are all just some beautifully packed incoherent stories for babies......
I hope people will be humble enough to let their passion for literature drive them to acquiring formal training on he subject matter.
