EducationRe: The End Of Polytechnic In Nigeria by ishmael(m): 8:52am On Jan 23, 2007
You did not answer my question. Will the state polytechnics run ND & BSc/BTech or ND & HND?? But why should the government make a law that is suppose to cover all polytechnics in the country to cover only Federal polytechnics?? Is the new educational policy (9-3-4) going to be for Federal schools only?? That means states can decide to be running 6-3-3-4 system or the former system of 6-5-4; is that what it means??

Still play its role but not like before, work with NUC
Will state polytechnics still be running ND and HND or only ND?? If NBTE will be working together with NUC who will then over see the affairs of the existing polytechnics?? Will it still be NBTE??
EducationRe: The End Of Polytechnic In Nigeria by ishmael(m): 2:52pm On Jan 22, 2007
So States can still have polytechnics?? States can still run ND & HND programs , is that what it means?? Rubbish!! What becomes of NBTE??

sewa:
in response to your message i think the audio card is fault just go and buy and audio card and fixed it, automatically without using the installation cd that came with it everything we be allright.

or try to reinstall maybe can work fine

i am an engineer incase o o o o
The soundcard is on-board, and the system board itself is new. I just bought speakers for the system and when i connected i did not hear any sound, when i went to volume control it gave me the error message "There are no active mixer devices installed". I'm considering running the OS (Win XP)again on repair mode to see if it can fix it; if it does nt work that means i will have to buy a new soundcard and install. How do you see it??

To install mixer devices, goto control panel, click printers and other hardware, and then click add hardware". Please how do i make the sound to come up??

What will happen to already existing HND holders??

All with retroactive effect. E.g All HND graduate of Calabar polytechnics are now rated as Graduates and all promoted to 15 and 16 Level.

They run as they like, poly stops at ND level officially with FG
Na wa oo!! So bad. So polytechnics have been taken back to the days of Diploma only; that is back to 1960's and early 70's. Let FG scrap polytechnics as a whole so dat nobody will go and waste his/her time there reading for one yeye Diploma.

State and private proprietors of polytechnics and colleges of education reserved the right to continue to run their programmes the way they choose.

They have examples in the Ogun State-owned Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijagun, Ogun State, now Tai Solarin University of Education

The Polytechnic, Calabar, now Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH).
How will they be running it?? ND & HND or ND & BTech/Bsc?? Please answer me now??
EducationRe: The End Of Polytechnic In Nigeria by ishmael(m): 7:18am On Jan 22, 2007
What will happen to graduates of polytechnics who already have HND certificates??
2ndly, what programs will state and private polytechnics run?? Will they run National Diploma progams alone?? Or will they be allowed to run the Bsc, BA and BTech programmes??

You be real mumu; olodo!! Just dey copy & paste nonsense for us, with wrong analyses. you dey even talk of war; if you see riot you go stand?? not to talk of war. NPC's Boss name is Samaila Makama and not Makawa. Correct your selves please. NPC said there are more people in Kano state than Lagos state and you people are taking it personal. You people should understand that he is not saying that there are more hausa and fulani people than other tribes. for God's sake ethnicity or tribe was not included in the census questionnaire. Ok, if you were counted were you asked about your tribe?? Most of the people that make up the population in Lagos state are not yorubas and most of the people that make up the population in Kano are not hausas or fulanis. Sabon-Gari for example in Kano is dominated by southerners and is the commercial nerve of Kano. I beg shelve that your war plans for corner.

NPC has said that kano has a higher population than Lagos state, so what can you do about it??
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 1:35pm On Jan 16, 2007
If releasing the results of the parallel census Lagos state conducted is unconstitutional then i believe carrying out that census in the first place was unconstitutional too. Make we hear better excuse i beg.

You are calling them cows, abi? Anyway they call southerners PIGS in the north and they hate pigs. You people should not use this forum to endanger our lives here in the north o!! You really think they are cows?? Don't you think they are smarter?? Atleast they were able to make OBJ a southerner accept the census figures you are complaining about. That means to say cow dey chop grass but e still get sense pass pig. For how long would southerners keep on complaing?? Stand up and do something to make a change na??

anyone who believes the census data concerning Northern states is a fool. Plain and simple. I am glad alot of Nigerians arent as gullible and stupid as we think and can see through bullshit like Ishmael who talks about Hausa women giving birth to 10 children on average. That is just rubbish. Ismael, are you even Nigerian? Have you ever been to kaduna or kano or jos or zaria because what you have said in this thread is mostly just trash. I am glad people arent buying it. Even DOnzman doesnt believe your BS analysis and statistics.
I've never been to kano before but I'm residing in kaduna presently, so watch and control your long tongue that makes you talk anyhow.

@Afam, i'm always with you.
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 8:06am On Jan 15, 2007
I want to believe that one of the problems Lagos had was the problem of many people not having houses. A lot of people live under bridges and flyovers and some live in office environments. I feel those areas where not marked as potential enumeration areas and as such people outside marked EA's were not counted. But in kano the almajiris live in the same house or compound with their mallams and they were all counted there.
I strongly disagree with that of Katsina having more population than Oyo state. Lagos state should try and release the results of the parallel census they conduction alongside NPC, that will clear the air i believe.
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 3:53pm On Jan 13, 2007
As we have said, let Lagos state release the figures of the census they conducted alongside the NPC census. What are they waiting for?? Atleast that will be able to explain to nigerians the difference between kano and Lagos state census figures as well as the inconsistency of NPC.

@ Ishmael such a statement gives credence to why davidylan does not want to humor you.

Staying inside the box or within the box suggest limitations in your outlook and views, its not a good place to be. Believe me its not a good place. grin grin
It's better to stay inside the box, study it , know it and be able to know exactly what is going on inside it, than to jump outside the box, know nothing about the things happening outside it and still know nothing about the things happening inside it. No wonder you always assume, and your assumptions are always wrong; and you still want people to accept you views. I beg make we hear word jo!!
Tech JobsRe: Ebooks On Fortran77 Or Later Versions by ishmael(m): 12:45pm On Jan 13, 2007
rookie:
Ishmael -

You sound like you have a little passion for Fortran, well I must agree with Rock2 a little - Fortran77 is quite out dated. Please understand that I am not trying to be obnoxious. But at this present times, object oriented programming is ideal. Using the same effort you put into programming Fortran, you can always explore more recent programming languages. However, I can understand if you are using Fortran for just specific tasks that it is most suitable, or school work.

Anyhow, It's still quite unfortunate that our Nigerian universities choose to teach older languages instead of newer ones. Perhaps, the professors do not have training and knowledge in 3GL and 4GL languages. You won't find too many schools in the US that still teach Fortran.
Yes i like FORTRAN, it's still the most suitable programming language for mathematical, statistical and numerical computing. From your post it's like you know very little about FORTRAN. Please do a research to know the latest versions of FORTRAN compilers available. It may interest you to know that there is Object-Oriented FORTRAN/Visual FORTRAN now, which are as good as other OOP languages and better than them in handling mathematical and numerical computations. FORTRAN 2003 has Object-Oriented progamming features.

I wont humor you with a response beyond this, you clearly have trouble thinking outside a box.
That means i'm the opposite of you. You think outside the box that is why you find it difficult to know exactly what happens inside or within the box. Cheers!!

The highlighted statement is a clear example of tunnel reasoning! That OBJ is southerner does not mean he suddenly supports southern causes, this was the same man who told us Abiola was not a Messiah, the same man who has refused to acknowledge June 12, the same man who handed over power to a northerner, sheu shagari, in a fraudulent election.
This is the same man who in 1999 signed an agreement to return power to the north after his 8 yr rent agreement in office was over, the same man who treated the sharia issue with kid gloves while thundering "CAN my foot!"

Obasanjo might be president but there are more powerful forces at play here that dictate the tune at Aso Rock!

Lets assume you forgot that all those former heads of state barring the weakling Earnest Shonekan are all northerners! I don't see them challenging a result that gives them a massive advantage ahead of the 2007 polls.
Pally you are funny o, cheesy cheesy grin grin grin. So mean OBJ is being controlled by some people?? Na dem who you think say dey dictate for OBJ?? lets hear their names please. i'm waiting!!
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 10:01am On Jan 13, 2007
Under Gen. IBB a northerner the population figures for Kano were inflated or falsified; why then under Gen. OBJ a southern will the population figures for kano state in the north be inflated or falsified?? Would OBJ a south westerner have agreed for kano state in the north to have the highest figure, if it were not so?? Let Lagos state release its own parallel census result to clear the air i beg.
PoliticsRe: Kano State Has The Highest Population In Nigeria? by ishmael(m): 6:46pm On Jan 12, 2007
Afam:
Let Lagos state release its own results, afterall they counted the people side by side the NPC.

Rejecting it is one thing, going a step further to show us what the real figures are is another.

They should release its findings unless it is hiding something.
My brother, these guys are being sentimental thats all. CIA did not conduct any census in Nigeria so how do you expect them to give you a good approximation of the number of people in Lagos state?? They only gave us an estimate which at the end of the day would either be correct or wrong. Now a complete census has been carried out and the CIA estimate has been proven to be incorrect. Its the same thing as the estimate they were giving about "NIgeria" in general; before the census the whole world was told that nigeria had an estimated population of 150 million, but today it is less than that figure.
Please lets stop arguing about these figures jo, it won't help us.
Christianity EtcRe: Should Women Preach? by ishmael(m): 6:03pm On Jan 12, 2007
Analytical:
Finally, my brethren, Our Lord Jesus, the author and finisher or our faith, gave a commandment to all, both male and female, at Galilee after the resurrection, to go preach to all nations and make them disciples (verse 19) and teach the disciples made (verse 20).  This charge is to all that believe, both men and women!
Yes, but Christ later decided to change his mind. It was much later after his resurrection that he gave Apostle Paul that instruction that women should keep their mouth silent in churches. Or were those things Paul wrote down in the Bible not from God?? Was the Apostle Paul not inspired by God??
