Cmoyor: Ghost workers and we wey no be ghost neva see work

if govt want to be honest let them now employ real human beings to replace the ghosts.

Phemmyolas: Thanks of for your view and comment. Suffice to say here that the article was not insinuating that all polytechnic graduates are not good, and like you said, some may even be better than some university graduates. However, the fact remains that the margin will be minimal, and it is basically impossible to place a professor or a PhD holder on the same pedestal with somebody with HND, First degree and Masters as is common in the polytechnics. Surely, you cannot give what you don't have.

what's so special about the nigerian prof and phd holders? Don't u on ur own believe they've been churnning out semi literate graduates from the universities in nigeria? What percentage of the uni graduates taught by profs and phd holders are sound academically and technically? How comes they still can't transform the country?

Have u ever wondered why some poly graduates know more than d uni grads? Some poly students and grads even teach uni students some courses that they may be offering. Eg accounting courses. Ever wondered why? Can u teach what u don't know?

Odunnu: Should be or it will start soon.

can u help me find out if UNN accepts PGD statistics from another school for its Msc statistics programme? Thanks.

Rossikk: You have a very LOW IQ. So what you went to see ''YEARS BACK'' is what you come here to claim is the current situation? Based on what you saw ''years back'' as a kid escorting his mate to a base?

HOW ABOUT DECADES BACK? OR CENTURIES BACK?

How would a non entity kid like you and your student friend have known exactly how many functional training aircraft the entire Nigerian Airforce possessed after visiting a single base ''years back''? Who did you speak to? Or rather, who were you allowed to speak to?

DUMMY WITH NO BRAIN, but with internet access.

don't be rude pls. It's because of reasons like these dat i stopped commenting on nairaland posts. U actually think i'm a kid? My friend did his course there when he was still a wing commander as at 2010. He's in 81 air maritime group, benin city now flying ATR-42 maritime recce aircraft. He just got his group captain. I still live on the air force base in kaduna and there is no body there that does n't know the situation of things in the 301 flying training school in kaduna. Nothing has changed there, no new aircraft has been acquired for 301 FTS. I was in the flying school even on friday, i still have friends and colleagues dat are pilots, engineers and technicians there. The AOC is not telling lies, he knows what he's saying, no new aircrafts have been given to 301 FTS since 2010 for the training of transport pilots in kaduna.

Tolexander: NAF has one serviceable aircraft for training!
Maybe the others are not serviceable but functioning

it's true. They have only one functional Do-228 aircraft used for training of transport pilots and at the sametime used for courier and executive flights. The others cannot fly. They've been grounded long ago. I've gone there to see things myself years back when a friend was doing his basic transport flying course. The guy also complained then. He's a group captain now.

nedu213: WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTS??

Fellow data analysts, which clients have you consult with?

I have done analysis for undergraduates and PGs.

Tell us your experience

i do same too, but they don't like paying good money. Some think they can do their analyses manually and refuse to consult u.

He needs a credit in O'level English language to get admission into any university to do a PGD in computer science. Let him sit for O'level english again.

Yes, it will end for some people.

austertee01: With the past and current discrimination betwent the Bsc and HND graduates, is there any hope for HND graduate in this country?

No hope in the civil service. HND holders are employed as level 07 officers on the same level with NCE holders, and cannot go beyond level 14, in some cases level 12. Degree holders start from level 08 and get to level 17. Ministries don't look at skills, they look at paper qualifications and give preference to university Degrees.

i'm still trying to find out why statisticians are not sought for in nigeria, the way accountants are sought for. U see adverts daily ranging from one man biz to multi national firms looking for accountants, but they never look for statisticians. Why is it like that? Is it that they don't believe that statistics and statisticians can be useful to their businesses and operations?

PetroDolla: There is no rigging in the Ghanaian elections. Where did you get that from? Even your Olusegun Obasanjo who is here as an observer can testify it's been very free,fair and credible.

if Obj is there as an observer then he could be the brain behind the rigging. There is obviously a PDP in ghana too.

oseiwe: I don't tink ur num1 question is correct.
Go and buy engr maths, dat shld be an example in one of d chapters, most probably chpt 4.

All the questions are correct. U can rewrite number 1 as (1+x)^ -1.

MTN are not sincere with their dealings and services at all. Though i still use the line because of my business clients and friends who always call me on mtn, but I hate their network.

ibnquasale: if we truly want to help people here, let those that are working or running a statistical firm bring us in when they have jobs and we can humbly learn on the job even without pay... i did these a lot in school days, i was so concerned about what i want to learn and not the money because i sensed the need to prepare myself for the period when the jobs that will bring in the money is coming... i am still very much a learner, and i don't mind learning from d gurus in the hou


IN GOD I TRUST ALL OTHERS MUST BRING DATA

where are the statistical jobs in Nigeria? Even the govt don't want to invest in statistics.

Dansadaumallam: Am happy that REAL discuss is back in NL. SPSS is one software that serious govt. officials must know how to use. I love this thread.

But do they care? All they know is how to steal and share public funds among themselves.

samuelorija218: SPSS does it for me. The version 19 is slow in processing compared to some lower version of it. The input of the coded data value will make you bored if the data are much.

I thought i was the only one that experienced that. Versions 16, 17, & 18 are still ok to me.

Pls Mr. President, you once said that technical education is the bedrock and basis for technological development. Why is there still discrimination against polytechnic HND graduates in the civil service both at entry level and progression? Is it that you don't want Nigeria to develop beyond this level? What are you doing to put a stop to this wicked and obnoxious act of discrimination against polytechnic HND graduates?

Siena: Are there instances where divorce is the only option? Are there cases whereby God will condone divorce?

Please, answer yes or no, without a long epistle.

#JusticeforAluu4

No. God hates divorce. Even if ur spouse commits adultery, u can still forgive. Christ demonstrated that by refusing to condemn the woman who was brought before Him for committing adultery. He forgave her and asked her to go, and sin no more. God can put things in order for couples who believe and invite Him into their hearts and home.

God hates divorce. The man and the wife can agree to settle their differences and have a stable and peaceful home if they want to. Go back to God if u're not serving Him. If u love God u will keep His commandments. I stilll repeat it, God hates divorce. Divorce can be avoided if the couples have the fear of God in them.

Aqva: If HND is as bad as people keep saying it is then whay do students still go to poly? I don't seem to knw any poly graduate who is roaming the streets because he has a HND.

There are a lot of them. These days no jobs in nigeria.

You can also be self employed by working as a statistical consultant if u wish.

Where is the guy?

segun4christ: what are d chances of getting a better work for choosen statistics as a course of study at university

The same chance as those who read other numerate courses.

dayokanu: when both are working bills be split. not necesarily 50:50 cos if one makes more than the other

I mean when the man has no income and the wife has one that can take care of the bills. Is it wrong for the woman to take responsibility of paying all the bills?

What if the man loses his job and the wife still has a good job with good salary? Should the bills still be shared 50:50?

Prices of so many items like malt, beer and even domestic/household items will soon go up. LPFO is the main fuel for most of these industries.

The price of indomie, cement, and other products have gone up already. Do you know why? This is as a result of a sharp increase in the price of LPFO (aka black oil) by govt and NNPC from N68/litre to N85.71/litre. This is the basic fuel Dangote and other industrialist use in running their machines. Since the govt couldn't succeed in increasing the price of pms, or kerosene (dpk), they decided to silently increased the price of this basic fuel used by industries for production which is only consumed by industries. A lot of nigerians do not know about this fuel neither do they buy it, and as such would not complain about the increment. This increment has a multiplier effect on the economy, as prices of manufactured products will go up, and at the end of the day the common man still suffers it. Prices of so many items will soon go up as a result of this. Let govt reverse back the price or atleast make a slight or marginal increase on the price of LPFO. This sharp increase will spoil so many things. Pls let's join hands and fight this illegal and unjust increase of the price of this fuel or else nigeria will be heading for doom. N.B. The increment was n't made public, but was made thru an internal memo from NNPC and petroleum ministry more than a month ago. You can ask any LPFO dealers u know, they will confirm it to u.
