It took me some time to realize that being a Top-scorer in class sometimes limits one to what is written in a book
and given in a class to learn. Unfortunately, not everything is written for one to learn in a class. Some things are deliberately hidden to
make one a robot top-scorer.
Let the world be your classroom (quoting a Nigerian VC).

Some top-scorers were unfortunate to have their education deliberately truncated by their classmates or family members, that is if
they are still alive. Some were told: "Come to my this/that", and they became bottom-scorers.

Those of us who survived should try to give back to a society full of people who have one story or the other to tell about the imperfect
educational system.

agitator:
This your story is comparing apple and oranges. The prof was teaching, there is nothing wrong in bringing him to apply is knowledge into NITDA.

It won't be a problem if Nigeria is manufacturing cars and the guy is brought to coordinate the designing aspect. This body was just created to do nothing. What Nigeria needs is a national body that looks into safety of cars, set acceptable standards, etc as is done in other countries, or regions.

I am not against bringing in Nigerian experts in diaspora

I appreciate your explanation. I am learning more from you about how govt should support our car industry.

I mentioned the Prof, because back then I got some opinions that NITDA did not achieve its goal. The explanation given to me was that the ICT developmental needs of Japan was different from that of Nigeria. I do not know if that explanation would also apply to Cars.

I will still communicate later on.

agitator:
So that is how other countries developed, by bringing back their intellectuals and using them to head boards.

I was expecting the government to make some investment or encourage investors by giving them concessions if they can bring back Nigerian experts in diaspora to work in the companies. This would have ultimately translated to knowledge transfer for those at home.

Is it not demeaning for a designer to come back to head a board that has nothing to do with designing? The white experts will reject such jobs outright without a second thought, because it will kill their passion and career.

I recall that OBJ brought a Nigerian Prof from a Japanese University to head NITDA. Let us keep watching. This will be a test case for future reference.

agitator:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is good progress, from car designer to mechnaics adviser.

Perhaps, to be relevant to the Nigerian environment where we repair and repair second-hand vehicles rather than buy brand new cars.

TRYING to imagine my mechanic make parts orders through eBay and jumia

Then pay him via POS

That is what I discovered mechanics in other parts of the world have been equipped to do, without being graduates.
They even have online forums where ideas are shared.

The human body can be made to defy known physical laws.

I think he doesn't want to be seen as unconcerned about your upbringing.

Gypsies are nomadic people of Europe, who have spread from Eastern Europe to Western Europe.
Some have suggested that Gypsies are from India. That was the same argument for the Native, Aboriginal or Indigenous Americans, who
were called "Indians". Even Indians of India migrated out of Africa over 50,000 years ago.

There was a time Africa had Black people with naturally straight hair. It is not only White people that can have straight hair.
White People are a sub-race of black people. Black People can have every body characteristic that White People have.

Fatigue.

Chinese Gods are in their own image, unlike Nigeria that prefers imported Gods, and therefore has to import most of its Goods and Services.

It is not possible to register a child as "John" or "Aisha", because they are not Chinese names and the child will be regarded as an agent for domination by foreign powers. That is preservation of Cultural Independence.

Do they pack themselves in Churches and Mosques the way we do?

Seek ye the Kingdom of Cultural Independence and Knowledge Economy shall be yours.

Are Nigerians ready for this? No, they will rather ask for the mirage called Technology Transfer. Technology is a culture, which nobody transfers. Margaret Thatcher of UK made this clear to our then President.

The Gypsies of Europe have a mixed heritage from the time when White People migrated into Eastern Europe from Central Asia.


The United Nations Statistics Division defines Eastern Europe as:

Belarus.
Bulgaria.
Czech Republic.
Hungary.
Moldova.
Poland.
Romania.
Russia.
Ukraine.

Gypsies are part indigenous Black Europeans mixed with settler White People. But you will not see this on television:

https://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Images_Thrace/Bulgaria_3.jpg

Anywhere in the World where White People settle among Black People, the indigenous Black People will be marginalised to gradual virtual/complete extinction; be it Americas, Europe or Asia.

Speaking to my fellow Nigerians, our Secondary School Geography/History teachers could not teach us this, because their textbooks were written by Colonial Masters, to alter our self-perception in preparation for Neo-colonialism. If we want to re-introduce History in Schools, which History will be taught? Our Story or His Story?

She was the first member of the Imperial family to attend University; an oddball from the word 'go'. That is where "liberal" ideas are circulated.

White skin did not evolve to increase Vitamin D Absorption

White skin is not better for living in the Northern colder regions of Europe.

Not surprising. Due to better health care and higher standard of living, the average age for Western European women is higher than our own. That is why they need immigrants within the workforce age, and sometimes..... young Nigerian guys as husbands!

I knew it would soon happen. Middle 30s and below are a very "nude pic" prone generation. To be on the safe side, let us start by first assuming it was photoshopped.

Hati13:
All people in the world were black at first. It's just through time, most of the people outside Africa became fair. The fair skin tone started to appear around 5,000-3,000 BC. So, we shouldn't be surprised that the Chinese were black at first.

Ethiopia - cradle of Humanity!

I am interested in Ethiopia, but more attention has been given to Ancient Egypt. #WhenTheWorldWasBlack

These incredible photographs are believed to be among the earliest of their kind in existence and offer an fascinating insight into life in the Far East during the 1860s.

blackboy:
There was a case of a guy teaching his sister to drive in the estate I stay in Lagos only for the car to hit a pole. Up the pole the car hung. The guy climbed out the car only for the car to drop on him killing him. So sad.

Did the car hang like this?

Not​ advisable. Too risky because of greater chances of bleeding. best to wait till at least 6 weeks after delivery that is if it's vaginal.

Thanks.

one4GOD:
I think its as a result of not been well informed. If you do your research you will know that we have very capable hands to operate on Fibroids. I did mine about a year ago after all the fear and negative information based on yesteryears information on fibroid. But believe me I never had any complications afterwards and in less than two days I was FULLY back to my normal life and this has changed my impression about this issue and I encourage anyone suffering from fibroid to go and remove the useless tumor.

Thank you for your enlightening response. I was told that it can also be removed during child delivery. Is it possible?

Airtel 3G signal strength, availability and latency is Very Good, so I expect Airtel 4G to match or supersede MTN 4G.

Phonefanatic:
This is one area I will consider myself very lucky cos my beards grow so quick yet you won't even notice I grow beards..... I use shaving sticks sometimes without shaving powder or aftershave in fact I do this every 3 days and it takes just 5 minutes to look clean shaved.

Skin condition I guess

Another point to note is that I use the normal N50 shaving stick and dispose after use... No reuse.

Lucky you.

kjhova:
We aren't talking of subsidy here and on which product it is fixed upon. My resort is that diesel is fuel just as all other fossil fuels including petrol (pms), kerosene (both dpk and hhk), aviation fuel, coal, buthane etc.

Diferrentiating diesel from "fuel" and suggesting that "pms...popularly called "fuel"" is the anomally my previous post intended to clarify to you.

Alright I should have differentiated diesel from petrol. Thanks for the clarification.

kjhova:
What is diesel and what is fuel, biko??

Diesel is used by lorries and heavy duty generators. Premium Motor Spirit(PMS) which is popularly called "fuel" is what most cars and smaller generators use. The subsidy scam involved importers of PMS and not diesel, because subsidy was paid for only PMS. No subsidy was paid for diesel.

danjumakolo:
While Dangote was busy building his biz...his contemporary Femi otedola was busy importing fuel so much that he got involved in subsidy scam.

I thought he was importing diesel and not fuel, and that was why Farouk Lawan's attempt to indict him failed and backfired.

GogetterMD:
I thought it was supposed to be 2018?

Thought so too. I guess that we are slowly acquiring a large-scale industrial culture, that was apparently missing when we
tried to do Ajaokuta Steel

Good for him that he resigned. He may have ended up like The Smiling Pope, John Paul I, who was sent to the Great Beyond in the 1970s after only 33 days in office. It was believed he intended to clean up Vatican Finances.
