Exactly. If there's is an approved certificate of learning online, I would have opted for it.


It's sad mehn. We ran through some topics in agricultural engineering and not even a Spanner is visible. How about agrochemicals and the likes?

It has been theories upon essays.

Like me, I do tell my folks, I went to school to learn theory. And it's really sad saying this.
How will one go to school just to learn theory? Why won't one be unemployed wen he/she graduates. If one is knowledgeable in practical, whether job
isn't available, the person can start up his/her own biz by applying the practical side of what he learnt in school. That's the reason China is developed today, but we, we're so engrossed with theory that LA cram la pour is the way foward in exam.

I do tell people, if our educational system is standard, 30-40% of unemployment will be cured.

You have never step your foot in a farm for practicals? Were/are your feet tied? Don't you have fallow lands around your house/neighbourhood. Your lecturer does not give a freaking frack about your practicals because with or without that, he is paid...do you want to tie your destiny on this inadequacy?



Yes, the curriculum in other schools abroad are more fine tuned, but are you also aware that you can equip yourself with the content of this curriculum? Run a google check on each topic from the curriculum, watch YouTube videos, try it on your piece of land and you are good to go.

Where should he get the mechanized tools and apparatus he would need to apply from the farm? Should he download it from YouTube too? Keep in mind he paid for these practicals through his school fees
Come on, in as much everyone knows he'll need to improve his/herself, but there are some things only school can provide and mostly practicals is one of them. That's why the op talked about revamping our educational system, cos it's things like this that make Nigerians to churn out half-baked graduates.

I just shared my viewpoint

I get, but your viewpoint is just like you're opposing the article whereas all the points you made is the same thing the article made.
If you read the article, you wouldn't have said exact same thing

SmartPolician:
School no be scam

We just need to upgrade our education to be goal-oriented and result-driven

Many lecturers need to change their mindsets about education

I remember one of them telling us to make a first class or 2'1 so as to get a good job.

No lecturer, in my time, ever talked about establishing your business.

If we all graduate with the mindset of looking for jobs, who will create them?

Las Las, we passed through the University of Hard Knocks and realized that the kinda job we wanted was reserved for a few.

Today, I am absolutely delighted to have created a good job for myself

Once again, school no be scam

All this talk you talked is exact same the that was written in the article..

If only you've read it..

Possible line up next season

Willian..... Aubameyang....... Pepe

....................... Ozil ........... .............

.......... Xhaka.......... Ceballos .........

Tierney... Gabriel.. Saliba... Bellerin

........................ Leno........................


Still juicy

Ceballos, there is still the slim chance he could leave, but for now we have no real option unless Willock or Torriera.

I resisted the urge to feature Saka and Martinelli because of their age and experience.

This one is better. At least compared to partey own.

Yeah, I also feel saka and martinelli can come in as subs, so that pressure won't be on them much as they're still very young.

You cannot interpret my opinion better than me. The thing you wrote up there is off my point.

For example, it was better attack that won between Bayern and Barcelona. Not that Bayern's defense was as bad as Barça's but they had a superior attack.

When you consider the argument about attack and defense it has to be subjective not objective. We are not comparing defense to defense or attack to attack of different teams but defense to attack and attack to defense of same team (I sincerely hope you grab this because I have observed it is where we have our differences)

In Bayern Vs Barca
From Bayern point of view, it was the attack that made the difference.

From Barça POV, it was the defense that failed.

In Bayern Vs PSG
From Bayern POV, it was the defense courtesy of the GK.

From PSG POV, it was the attack that failed not defense,


Hence, I said a good attack (Neymar) can win you games but it's the defense (Neuer) that ensures a title. For when it matters most (the thin line between winning and losing a final as we saw in the match) the defense becomes more critical. Because if you don't concede a goal you CANNOT lose.

Your bolded sef, was what me and others were saying since, but you no gree last 2 weeks.

See bro, if we look am the way you're saying it, then everybody will settle for a 0-0 draw then. Cos no matter how, even a tightly contested game will still have you saying the defence is at fault (with respect to the attack ) as you said.

While I solely get your point , I don't think I'll buy that idea.

Why?

Example is Man u vs Sevilla.
Why man u have various goal scoring chances to put that game to bed(at 1-1), they floundered. Not only will their floundering put their defence under pressure (mentally), but it'll also give Sevilla hope that if they can just nick one in again, they're good.
In this case, that act of missing chances not only might weaken your teammates who sees begging chances go to waste but will subconsciously strengthen your opponent too.
Now, if man u hadn't created numerous goal scoring chances, or their defence (Sevilla) was able to wave off the attack been thrown at them, then I'll buy your idea that yes, Sevilla defence won you that game.

I can give you so many games defence won
and
so many games attack won.

There's a reason I isolated those two, and that's the reason I want you to see. That it can be distinct and not something like words and opposite (the way you're painting it to be), that if team A wins, then it means team A attack is good and team B defence was bad (if not team A wouldn't have won).

I'm just telling you it doesn't work that way

Spy360:
OK.

Carry this one.

Spy360:
PSG missed chances, so did Bayern. At the final analysis, it boiled down to the more superior defense. Defense, because common sense demands that when you lament about missed chances it means the attack wasn't as effective as expect. So it boiled down to the more superior defense. You will agree with me that the difference between Bayern and PSG was their goal keepers -Neuer and Navas and not the attackers - Lewandosky and Neymar
Since both didn't score and the player who actually scored for Bayern was only drafted in.

CC Akinbahm

Well, I know that lewy and neymar aren't the only attackers in their respective teams. So when I mean attackers, I'm not talking about the 9s, but the attack minded players(mostly) in the teams and also the goal scoring chances that will lead to goals that people expect.

Also, PSG carved more scoring chances than Bayern(facts). Why Bayern might do the playing, we can agree that PSG was really deadly on the counter. Either poor decision making or wayward finishing from mbappe and neymar.

When you say defence, you should talk of PSG to be honest. PSG defence to me in that match was really better than Bayern (except neuer to navas). The difference was coman not capitulating wen he had his chance unlike neymar and mbappe...

Akinbahm:
I knew you intentionally agreed with him to just die the subject...

I wish you see how Barcelona fans dey vex for Neymar & Mbappe on top chances they failed to bury and someone here on NL is saying defence Nuer saved them well, he is ryt though but had been those duos utilized those chances my brother spy360 would have called for the defense head forgetting both team doesnt have defense but mad attackers...

My brother, that's why I die the matter oo.
If I start, e go be another back and forth again, which won't get us anywhere (cos both of us won't agree.. Lol)

Someone like spy go say na defence make sevilla beat man u for s/f Europa league but me (and some others) knows otherwise.(say na man u attack kill dem)

One thing I've come to terms with spy is..
For example, If you like let your team create 10 clean goal scoring chances, like one on one chances with keeper. If your attackers hit bar with 9 of the attempts and goal keeper saved one. And unluckily, your team concede a goal and lose that game. Just be ready for spy to blame your defence for conceding that goal, instead of the attackers for missing glaring chances that would have wrapped up the game earlier than expected.

So just free spy.. Good thing is, we all have our opinions.

Spy360:
But you said probable

If we sign him, it will no longer be probable.

come on bro.
Probable lineups depends on what you have and the permutations around what you have.
We never get head way for any partey negotiation, yet you don dey add am for our team. At least, Willian and Gabriel is guaranteed, we can use probable line up(s) involving those two. Make we no dey give our sef hope only to dash it na..
Just leave partey first till we sign am(or almost guaranteed of his signing)

Spy360:
And you totally ruled out Manuel Neuer's saves

But you claimed to watch the match. Abi na BBC radio 5live you use?

Lol..
Neuer saves, not taking anything away from him, na mostly routine save. Aside the neymar's own. If any had entered, it'll be more of neuer dropping a clanger than otherwise

The fact is PSG attackers messed up big time ystdy by missing glaring chances after slicing open Bayern defence time and again. And they paid dearly for it

Spy360:
Possible line up next season

Willian...... Aubameyang....... Pepe

......................... Ozil........... .............

.......... Xhaka............... Partey.........

Tierney... Gabriel.. Saliba... Bellerin

........................ Leno........................


Very juicy indeed.

No dey put partey for any probable line up until we sign am.

Spy360:
Defense
This Gabriel really got the hype. Hope he lives to it. He is young and Brazilian. I hope he brings the skill and attitude.
That said, Arteta may have concluded his defensive restructuring. Gabriel and Saliba looks promising.

Midfield
The major target now is to get a decent DM. Partey is still on the rumoured mills, perhaps covid19 will force Woodstock Madrid to reduce their price. We only need to wait a little longer. I haven't seen any competitor, besides the guy is 27, we ought to be looking for younger prospects with that amount AM are requesting.
If Ozil stays, then getting another AM seem unlikely as we have secured Willian. Smith-Rowe needs to get back and start training with the big boys. He is the closest to decent amongst our youths.

Attack
I suggest we just leave them as they are. The bonding Lacazette and Aubameyang are creating together with Pepe may mean more for us than another striker. If they love each other they will help each other and Arsenal will be the silent winners.

Why am I feeling Smith Rowe isn't ready for that attacking midfielder role.

Defence is sorted out sha.

Midfield.. Without ceballos presently, we're so dead weight in that midfield. Like it's so bad. I dunno who to put sef. Only xhaka and torreira and both are deficient.
Till transfer window ends, else I'll just keep mum on midfield for now.

About the attack, well, I hope Pepe improves very well and auba keeps up his good form. Also I hope lacazette will come back to form and with the introduction of Willian, then saka and martinelli, I hope our attack will be up to par.

I'm just really jittery about the midfield tho, and until it's sorted, I'll just enter this season with half mind

Coyg!!

iamoyindamola:
K should do the trick next time

Lol..
My brother.
Spy na my guy na, K go too harsh for am.

But it's somehow sha, someone who didn't watch the match ystdy will think PSG didn't slice 2ru that defence but was undone by wayward finishing.

I just wan bury that matter jarey, weda defence or attack, na just make the our team be formidable, that's all what we're hoping and praying for.

Too much back and forth on a particular subject too dey draining

[quote author=Spy360 post=93164378][/quote]Lol..
Na you sabi.
Happy with our transfer window so far tho.
Hope we really strengthen upfield. I'm just waiting and seeing (excitedly tho) how Arteta wants to shape this squad into

Spy360:
Once again...

A good attack (Neymar) can win you games, but it's a good defense (Neuer) that will win you titles.

OK, you don win.
Carry...

Dem wan use counter finish Bayern

This has all shades of wrong in it. I guess if someone had said this about any of your female relative you won't take it likely with the person. You catch am as she dey twerk?

Haba bros, stop taking it personal. Nobody personally know marina neither do person wey know person wey know somebody wey know marina here. So chill, all na talk.

It will only be a grouse or bad if someone knows marina. So chill, don't take it personal.

Spy360:
Sterling missed a lot of chances no doubt, but the reason they lost despite controlling the game is because their defending was poor.

Sometimes having a good defense may not mean getting new defenders but changing your style of defending. That's what Arteta did. Having good defenders can allow you have extra men in attack. Bad defenders will force you to reduce the men that push forward in attack.

Pep needs to change his tactics. It is becoming easy to defend against him. Coaches simply employ a double fullback approach to stop his wing play.

Now you're talking. Sometimes it's about the coach tactics or system. Nothing the defence can do. But you'll just say "defence" as if every loss is solely on them.
You don't want to even reason that man city have to throw in all they got at the final minutes.
The loss ystdy was solely on attack than defence. It seems you prefer mou and Simeon's style which is "don't score me" approach.

I wanna ask "would you prefer we hire Simone to coach our team"?

iamoyindamola:
Yes we know but right now, we need good midfielders to get to top4 first

I no no why spy dey think of league.
We never get admission him dey think of graduation..
