Guys believe in your ability, that is the paramount thing. Degrees are just papers. It is the attitude and not the aptitude that counts.
I flexed on campus and made a 2.2, but believed in myself. In less than 6 months I got a job I already have two cars. So the ultimate thing is belief. As we say in Manchester United, Belief Comes First. Easy guys, unemployment is a global problem. Your time shall surely come.

And some people with 1st class and 2.1 are still roaming about highways and streets looking for jobs. I hope rusky or wetin be him name sef dey hear??

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET ALL A'S ALL THROUGH UNIVERSITY

You can get A's all through in the university through the following ways:

1. Reading and understanding (and be able to attack and solve questions and problems
on things you were taught and things you were not taught in the class)

2. Cramming without undestanding (be able to reproduce a whole handout or lecture note
just to pass test or exams without really understanding the course). Here, if a
question or a problem outside the handout or lecture notes is given to the student he
is unable to apply his initiative to solve or get a solution to the problem.

Most nigerian graduates fall into one of these 2 categories. I have met with so many of them like that, 1st class, 2.1 and all that but when they are given a simple problem to solve they behave as if they've never been to school before. Please understand me very well before you crucify me; i'm not saying that all 1st class and 2.1 graduates are not innovative and analytical o, but obviously some are not!!

Naija4ward:
AGREED with Seun. I specialise in entrepreneurship and business venturing and marvelled when people waste.
Please note a person start as UNEMPLOYED, before becoming EMPLOYED and now EMPLOYER.

If you have a project needing capital, please post it in Nairaland. Anything under N1m I can help. If you need more than that and your project is genuine, I can organise funds both locally and abroad. So there you all go. Forgive my writing as I have not worked for anybody in the last 15 years.

Good luck in 2007.

Bros i have a biz proposal o but no capital to start it, how do i get in contact with you??

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Its Not Fair What Banks Do To Hnd ,ond 3rd Class And Sometimes 2.2 by ishmael(m): 8:11am On Jan 08, 2007

Having a 1st class does not mean that you really worked hard or read your books very well and it does not automatically make you better in your field. On the other hand having a 3rd class does not mean that you did not work hard or that you are not good in your chosen field. Some people work hard by just craming their notes and handouts (without understanding the technicalities of the course) and at the end of the day they get their 1st class or 2.1 but out their in the field they are nothing to write home about; i mean they fail to use their initiatives and are not innovative and analytical. But some people with 2.2 and 3rd class are highly innovative and analytical because they read to understand the course and apply their initiatives to problems; therefore employers should give everybody equal opportunity to prove themselves.

i think it is possible for polytechnics 2 be converted to university. it will even stop the dicrimination that it is only the brilliant ones that are in the university while the dull ones are in the polytechnics.

Then there will be no more polytechnics again, abi??

dear donmayor ,

i av read your so many contribution and i was force to check you profile and discover that u are just 20yrs old , i know quite well u are still writting jamb or u av just manage to get maybe 400 marks in jamb through "wayo way or whuruwuru to the ans"

Any hnd holder that can not perform is not performing because he can not perform , he will still not perform with 10 bsc combined. so if u are in a university right now all u need do is to read well rather than making noise about your bsc zoology that u are studying.

a word is enough for the wise ,

My guy i appreciate your talk well well. You have spoken!! Zoology no be easy course sha and them dey easily get jobs for nigeria; atleast you can work in Jos wildlife park, PH zoo, Ibadan zoo or yankari game reserve. I can understand why you are trying to look down at nigerian polytechnics, simply because ZOOLOGY is only done in the university, ok o!!. Polytechnics don't need to run non-technical courses like ZOOLOGY any way. May God help you Donmayor.

Is it a desktop or laptop?? re-formatting the hard drive may not be the solution. I want to believe the operating systems is win xp?? if it is xp you need to repair the operating system (i.e. win xp) using the installation cd without loosing any data, but if it still continues then you have to crash it and loose all data in the hard drive.

what da, ? polys into uni's?ooh because they want more people to have bsc huh? instead of the fg to create more university or better stil encourage the creation of more private universities to accomodate the increasing number of secondary school grauduate, all they are thinking of is ungrading the poly which i find annoying and disturbing.

I think they want more theoretical people than practical-oriented people in the country.

bluebell:
Rusky! am surprised that at your age you still talk like a toddler. Has it never occured to you that some empty-headed student bribe lecturers to graduate with a good grade,while some shameless female students sleep with lecturers in the name of first class. If you ask for my opinion i will say some employers especially Banks are only been stupid by enacting such useless policies especially now that the government is trying to curtail the rate of unemployment. Graduates with grades below 1st class and upper credit should be given the priviledge to compete with the so-called 1st class graduate in an apptitude test and see if some of the 1st class graduate will not perform poorly. so Rusky i don't buy your idea of saying some employers need just 20, 30, or 40 people, it is absolutely bullshit to me. Be wise ehhh!

Please help us tell that irrational man to be wise. If truely you really deserve to hold a 1st class or 2.1 degree or HND distinction or upper credit the general believe is that you should be able to do better than those who got lower grades than you in any exams, which may turn out not to be true because some people with lower grades will do better than most people with 1st class and 2.1. Does it mean mean that if you have A1 in mathematics and i have a C6 that you can do better than me in mathematics?? Employers should stop all these nonsense and allow everybody to come out and prove him/her self. Some people we know very well carry 2.1 degrees yet they are in no way better than people with 3rd class.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Its Not Fair What Banks Do To Hnd ,ond 3rd Class And Sometimes 2.2 by ishmael(m): 7:46am On Jan 04, 2007

Tell dem o!! They don't discriminate when they are looking for customers neither do they take their products to only 1st class and 2.1 graduates alone; but when it comes to employment they discriminate. I just wish people will realise this nonsense and stop transacting with them until they adjust themselves and make employment opportunities open for every category of graduates.

OBJ has similar charges. Stole our oil money between (1976 - 1979) and (1999 - 2006). Ordered the killings and massacre of innocent civilians in Odi- Bayelsa state and Zaki-Biam in Taraba state for killing of some policemen and soldiers; and he himself is a yoruba man, (more precisely- egba man). He has committed the same crime Saddam committed. Americans, we are waiting for you people to come and rescue us o! just as you rescued Iraq.

Let them do the educational reforms let us see; they think educational sector is the same as the banking sector where merger and acquisition were easily carried out. So what should we call this educational reforms? merger or acquisition?? To me sha i see it as acquisition because the universities will eat up polytechnics and colleges of education and their names and purposes will be lost while that of the university will remain.

Hnd-holder:
Over 75 percent of polytechnic lecturers are university graduates and are designated as lecturers, having the career path of becoming Chief Lecturer, Head of School, and Rector.

Wrong!! Say over 95% i will agree with you.

Hnd-holder:
Polytechnic graduates are called instructors and cannot attain any of these positions except they get additional University degree.

Who started the discrimination in the polytechnic sector?? is it not the various HOD's an Rectors who are university graduates and know nothing about polytechnics?? Later they will open their wide mouths pretending to be helping us complain about the discrimination of poly graduates by employers, when actually they are the ones that started it (i.e. the architects) and still engineer it. Charity they say, starts from the home.

Hnd-holder:
Let polytechnic go

This is just a sympathetic speech parents do not want poly as school fit for their wards they look at you as mis fit with sympathy as if HND holders are not human being. Whenever they want technological things let them send their own children.

Until polytechnics are converted into universtities and begin to award Degrees or until the name HND is changed to a better name like (Bsc Degree) that the society likes before they can send their children there.

Jeff, dont mind Mr. Donmayor. He can not come out with any reason why HND and Bsc are not equivalent in nigeria, rather he's talking about how the society feels about polytechnics and HND certificate.

Career › Re: HND Certificate: An Embarrassment? by ishmael(m): 7:26am On Dec 29, 2006

Donmayor, HND is a certificate awarded after completing the first 2 years of a 3-year Degree program in Uk universities. The only thing they don't do is the 3rd year which comprises of some few courses and research project that is all; but in nigeria the polytechnic HND courses run for 5 years like BTech Degree programs and not even Bsc because Bsc in nigeria is 4 years. BEng and BTech Degree programs last for 5 years and they also spend 6 months or more within that 5years doing industrial training like their poly counterparts. Please there is no difference between what you learn in the university and in the polytechnic in nigeria. We have the records and statistics that most people who pass or have passed ICAN exams are polytechnic HND graduates and they still perform better than their Bsc counterparts in the field of accounting in their places of work. Don't tell me that what i'm saying is what i hear from friends or "them say", NO. Please ICAN have the records and statistics you can ask them for it and confirm for yourself. I think the problem is the name HND; and the solution is to change the name to Degree or what have you like the universities, because there is little or no difference between what the polytechnics & colleges of Technology and the universities do.
