kennytidistar: Did I just see substandard foreign UNIVERSITY? please can you be specific and name the UNIVERSITY you refer to as substandard because those foreign UNIVERSITY graduate had been able to find solutions to some global challenges, you know quite well that most of the world leaders are Harvard product, I challenge you to be specific and not generalized. and tell me what your so-called super standard UNIVERSITY had been able to invent without the help of INTERNATIONAL expatriates abi kilonso ke? I refer to any accounting graduate as a professional colleagues regardless of the system that produce them, BECAUSE we speak the Same tongue, we are saying the system is bad, in 2006 to be precise during obasanjo regime, there was an attempt to merge the two system together, both poly and uni Which led to the upgrade of yabatech to degree awarding institution and one other poly I think is Kano, they held meeting upon meeting before yaradua came in and kill every thing with his seven point agenda Which HE never even achieve one, why not allow those in position of authority to do justice to this, abi bros you be authority?

ayobase: For your information, I'm not still ashamed to say this anywhere.

And for you information, my final year project was automatic sensor rechargeable lantern....what do u think it was made up of?

I am telling you again, I major in Power, and I don't have time for Electronics......if the need be to know the value of resistor at any point in time, I will make use of my measuring instrument. Shikena!

As a Computer Scientist, u wanna tell me somethings u learnt long time ago are still of relevance to you?

Even, in Power industry, we have different sections:

Generation
Transmission
Distribution

What concerns these people with resistor for God's sake!

Abi u think sey we dey make use of resistors....I wanna believe you have no idea.

People like will say every graduate of Mechanic Engineering should be able to fix a car!
Little wonder Nigeria suffer from power outages, Ayo base at the helm of affairs is a disaster.

speedyboi: You are getting it all wrong!
First know that; entrance into both polytechnic and university are the same! They both use UTME with the same cut off mark.
secondly, Anybody that studies 'Electrical Engineering' anywhere is not a TECHNICIAN!
Anybody that goes to study craftwork anywhere (whether poly or Uni) is a craftman. Why do people use title anyhow in Nigeria? The title you have is not a matter of the institution you attended, but what you studied!


and An Electrical Engineer who graduated from university and is looking for a white-collar job is as useless as an Electrical Engineer who graduated from a polytechnic looking for a white-collar job.

FULLSTOP.


I repeat again! Polytechnic graduates in 'Engineering' are not meant to be called 'TechniciaNS'. The technician title is for those who attended Technical schools. Ahn ahn. It's a pity that we call ourselves graduates and we can't even get simples things correctly like how to use titles.
it is your right to decieve yourself but dont complain when reality starts flogging you.

UTME started when because I ve not heard that before? even if it is so presently, it may be because the authorities are concerned about how many people who seek admission elsewhere not crossing the UME hurdles, it is no way a signal that polys and unis are the same.

I called them technicians and I pay them as such, if you need another title please go and write jamb, whining will not change that.

next in line are the substandard foreign universities, we are waiting for them.

speedyboi: An example of the Deluded and Shallow minded Nigerians I was referring to; who couldn't even read between the lines to grab the [b]essential points. [/b]Typical!

And you know what? If any of my kids wants to study Engineering.....and we have a better system in Nigeria, he is going to Polytechnic or anyother Technology-based institution. Now die! Hediot!
I completely disagree with the bold part, the OP has no point to use the word "essential", truth be told, Nigerians have a way of looking for sympathy where there is none in the first place.

The polys were created for a reason same for the Uni's therefore, if a man sayeth he joinest either one, he has himself to blame not the system.
I ve not researched WES, but in Nigeria here, the polys were meant to serve a technical purpose, but what we see are people who want to do white collar jobs with a technical certificate, isn't that a misplaced priority?

on the grounds of discrimination, i dont really want to call it discrimination but i call it reality and it has been here even before the OP was born, the point here is, people look for easy choices but wanna get sympathy when they are caught up with its consequences.

Instead of taking Jamb, you opt for a poly Jamb, then what? and you still wanna be apar with people who made a different choice?

Today, instead of kids studying to pass jamb, they say no, they stick to BBA and facebook, next their parents will send them to charge and bail universities in Ghana and other poorly rated Scandinavian countries where they get a sub standard degree at a high cost.

My point is, you cannot fool yourself and expect to be pitied.

Kwame Nkurumah university in Ghana was rated 63rd in Africa, yet people go and pay as much as $2,500 per term to send their wards there, meanwhile back home here, OAU is occupying the 10th position and far cheaper, but because the kids don't want to study, we take the easy way out, of course you don't need jamb to study in that Ghananian university.

most employers are reviewing these certificates and of course the victims will cry, "discrimination", i heard even govt agencies like NSCDC have started sacking or demoting people with sub standard foreign certificates (due to the oga at the top scandal, i guess) it wont take long before other private emplyers follow suit, is it really discrimination? or a brazen abuse of common sense?
"what thou sowest thou reapest.'"

back to the polytechnic issue, most polytechnic graduates in Nigeria dont even know what they are supposed to be doing in life, the guy that does art works, painting and sculptor for us graduated from yaba tech and he came highly recommended not just by people who have seen his skills first hand but the natural testimony of his works,
I see his invoices and he earns good money, what is a mechanical technician looking for in a Bank?

Nigeria is a very big market which is lacking in craftsmanship, check it, any handi work you wish to do from furniture maker, to mechanic to builder to electrician just name it, you hardly get good ones, so i have no doubt in my mind that our trained technicians have a very large market only if they will apply the knowledge they have gotten.

An electrical technician wants to work in a bank, insurance house etc, that is total misplaced priorities and that is what the poly guys are suffering not discrimination.

Employers, BSc, Beng are subtly telling the tech guys, "go ye into the field and use thy hands". I share that sentiment also.

I want a mechanical technician to have the capacity to fix cars,
I want Fine and applied technicians to have the capacity to paint houses and inject innovation into it,

not sitting lame duck in a federal parastatal and claiming he wants the same salary/promotion with Engineers.

Nutase: I used to have a great deal of respect for this dude until I watched an interview he granted to the BBC in 1960. If the likes of this guy continued in leadership position, this country would have been worse than it is today or probably been split into several entities.
They are the ones who sowed the seed of discord along religious and tribal lines.

If you really take your time to research on this country you will see Gods hand in everything that has happened from 1960 till date in keeping Nigeria as one united entity.
I agree completely I ve seen the interview myself, immediately after his, came kaduna nzeogwu's interview on how they killed him.
sardauna of sokoto does not believe in religious tolerance and political equality.
The way he stressed those parts in the message made it more apparent.

yibomustgo: The response was flat with no substance. He failed with this response. he did not address the allegations made by Obasanjo. He mentioned the allegations but failed to defend himself with facts.
I think Obasanjo wrote out of fear of what Mustapha might do to him now he is out, Mustapha was Abacha's Hench man who masterminded OBJ's incarceration on a phantom coup attempt, Obj retaliated by ensuring that he remained in detention through out his 8yrs reign.
Finally both of them are on the street, it is normal for Obj to be scared.

Jonathan need no response to that, its something personal between the duo

Gej you are bold oo..but hope you know you are creating enemies with past leaders...the only friend Gej has now is Gowon who feels OBJ owes for overthrowing his regime...Nawa o...Gej has said so much to rubbish OBJ...and so..he has bitten the fingers that fed him...obviously I know some people are brainwashing him...it will be too late when he discovers... I know OBJ to be Mr Never forgive.. And I know he will turn many people against Gej asap...if OBJ could finish abacha...from the prison oo...then Gej needs to watch his back very closely this time. Even Atiku knows this...

You know why I like Nairaland? It is because I have a feeling that whatever we say on frontpage gets straight to those in Power, they all read our frontpage comment. Now, Talking To GEJ and OBJ...the two of you should part ways and let us see whether it is Obasanjo that determines the Next President, or it is any Sitting President that determines it. Ah Ah, according to history, Only OBJ has decided which civilian to rule, He put Shagari, He put Himself, He put Yar'Adua, He put GEJ....only one man fa!...Now, I want to know the truth, is OBJ the one in charge? or is it the Incumbent President that decides...mind you Mr Gej...Old soldier never die oo,,,.as long as OBJ na Soldier, forget, He would have stronger links in the army than you ooo..therefore, do not attempt any military or police war against these fmr heads of state, I am begging you.

in terms of development it is not disputable who performed better but if you read that letter with an open mind, it bothers mostly on morality than governance, the reason obasanjo should shut up.

callmenow: Why occupy Nigeria? The agenda for this capricious 'group' needs to be transparent. Just one question. The acquisition of Oil wells in present day Nigeria catapults most Nigerians to the billion dollar status. Why are Abacha cronies, Obasanjo and Babangida cronies allowed to retain their oil wells and fields to the detriment of the masses. What is corruption? People scream ODUAH corruption, whilst ATIKU and family have two oil wells which are worth 5 Billion Dollars. Danjuma has already sold a half share in his Sapetro (sic) for 2 Billion Dollars for his oil fields. Danjuma is even called oil magnate. Mohammed Babangida has concessions worth 3 Billion Big ones. Perhaps we are not getting our priorities in order. To paraphrase Iyabo, Nigerians deserve the leaders they get. None of the present ministers has yet acquired an oil well or field after my investigation. Perhaps they should do so before 2015. We respect huge larceny and sniff and play tribal politics at every turn.
I don't see how occupy Nigeria can distribute oil wells do you?

Funny enough, this kind of arguments come from people who before 1999 would trek from Oshodi to Ojuelegba, lived in face me I face you but can afford to at least own a fairly used car now while living in a flat. When you point that fact to them, they say no we should use others who are still stuck in poverty to judge forgetting that within this time frame, they themselves have been able to pull out if poverty.[/quote]young man, the fact that you were able to rent another person's property is no positive growth because the same failed minister of economy you are indirectly absolving had education in climes where the govt play a significant role in mortgage.

It's left for the state and local govts to tap into this policies and improve the life of their people.
The state and local govts are closer to the masses than the minister of finance.
so when the fg puts a ban on basic commodities and the resulting inflation drops the par capital income further, what do you expect the LGA's to do?

It's so funny that inflation rate is single digit but the price of garri has never gone down. Then what consumer price index (CPI) did they use to calculate our current rate of inflation.

NOI is unable to account for revenue coming into the federation account. Sure-P funds are missing. NNPC is diverting funds, our debt profile is hitting the trillions and our budget for capital infrastructure is poorly implemented. Yet she claims to be minister of finance and coordinating minister.
