₦airaland Forum

hardbody: Winding down at about now, i have looked up Nairaland and noticed some 41 mentions with more than three-quarters of those mentions questioning or doubting the veracity of my claim, which undoubtedly i regret making in a public forum (though i remain anonymous). It is really amazing that people imagine that N2m per month is a lot of money that cannot be paid by any employer.

I do not need to prove any point here. let us allow this to slide. I know who i am, i know my qualifications, i know the number of jobs i have held down and i know the employers i talk to and the one i am currently working for. I know what i am bringing to the table, so there is really nothing to prove. For the avoidance of doubt, i know colleagues in my office that earn 70% higher than my figure. Essentially, i still feel shortchanged, but again, let us leave it that way. Maybe it should be stated here that not all NLers are recent graduates, Youth Corpers, etc. There is something called hierarchy in employment, and people grow and mature with time. Sometimes it pays to review someone's posts to enable you form an opinion as to who that person 'might be'. For those that think N24m pa is too much, please re-read that post, i said, N24m plus.....

Last bullet.....

My CEO is netting in close to N60m per annum. Should i lie about another man's salary too...

Na wa oooo. God will help all of us. I am leaving for Ikoyi Club guys, see you all when i have settled in, i can revisit this site on my phone then.

hardbody: with just $46k. Please convert that to Naira at today's exchange rate. Poverty mentality

Alamation: Invite him to ur favorite bar. Drown him in woteva he takes nd arrange a girl(they are cheap anyway) for him to reset his balls for the night.

MrMac10: I DEY SCHOOL LIBRARY SEE SOME KIN HONEYS DEY LAUGH. I COME GO CHECK THE REASON SEE SAY NA NAIRA LAND THEY DEY READ. I COME JOIN THEM DEY READ THE THING DEY LAUGH ,SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN A FREQUENT VISITOR TO THE FORUM

Miner13: When there is no leader to stand for that.

And 80% of the population acting like a dumbasse.

The political leaders there, are nothing but "political jobbers, power hunter, noisemakers at home and dullard outside, lover of self interest and politifians if there is word like that.

dhammyg: THAT NEW OYO STATE IS NOT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE AT ALL.IBADAN IS THE ECONOMIC LIFELINE OF OYO STATE.THE NEW OYO STATE HAS NO MAJOR ECONOMIC CITY.



TO ME THE ONLY STATE THAT SHOULD BE CREATED IN THE SOUTH WEST IS OKUN STATE.THE YORUBA'S IN KWARA AND KOGI SHOULD FORM OKUN STATE AND IT SHOULD BE JOINED TO THE SOUTH WEST.



OKUN STATE IS THE ONLY STATE THE SW NEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this ignoramus talking about? 1952. Was that not a full 60 years after British rule started in Nigeria? If he's going to blame anyone for such pictures, it should be the British govt who were in charge of Nigeria, ruled it, and looted it dry, from 1897 to 1960, exporting our resources and putting virtually nothing back. And then this idio.t blames us? His problem is obviously inferiority complex, allied to gross historical illiteracy. Such pictures became less the norm after independence in 1960, and things have improved a lot for our people since then.

kingston277: Weren't schools wide spread in the pre-colonial times? One article I read said nsibidi was taught to igbo children in schools in that era.
And didn't the "African script" thread prove that they did keep written records all over the continent? It's colonial lies dictating that they didn't.

kingston277: @OP

Op, why do people like you delight in spreading your ignorance and turning poor, unsuspecting Africans away from scholarly sources.

Where in these pictures do you see unclothed people?

ROSSIKE: How do we even know that the traditional African elite's refusal to share their knowledge or popularize writing, record keeping etc, wasn't borne out of thousands of years of cold hard experience in which these seeming ''advances'' have actually led to the disastrous decimation and decline of earlier civilizations? African civilization is thousands of years old, stretching into prehistory. Africa gave the world writing. The sciences.There are ruins of stone cities like Kerma in modern day Sudan, built with stunning geometry, which have been dated at over 10,000 years old! By comparison, the first voice from Europe was Homer of Greece, in 800 BC, less than 3,000 years ago. How do we know the African's decision to simplify life isn't actually an advancement based on human experience, and that he is right to deny high knowledge to the majority, seeing that they would inevitably make a mess of it? I mean, look at the world today. Knowledge has spread, and we're on the brink of annihilation from environmental, economic, and military catastrophes. Everyone can read and write. But the world is a lot less safe, secure and stable than it was in the time of our fathers. The whites - relative newcomers to civilization - wouldn't know the ancient histories of the earth... It's ancient cataclysms. Maybe our ancestors WERE RIGHT afterall. Maybe keeping records is actually a bad thing. As it reminds people of ancient wrongs... locking them into a cycle or negative recollection and action.... Maybe writing is actually an attractive but double-edged sword...leading to the spread of knowledge capable of destroying the planet.....Maybe the ancestors were right that simplicity was the antidote for another round of planetary/continental destruction.

delishpot: Problem with Africa is, we do not take actions with future plan in mind. We take action based on result NOW. We do not see tomorrow. So we do not write history, we do not keep records, we do not train the future we do not care how the future is born, we do not remember yesterday is important in our tomorrow, we do not see the importance of caring for a project afzer it has been completed for future to enjoy. We just want pleasure now. That is the black mans mentality, that is what is keeping him back.

Peetar3117: baba...seh na because of u just finished marking waec...dats y u are lambasting our secondary nd primary sch teachers....

ifyalways: Nigeria police have crowd dispersing skills only when a politician is involved. The boy ran to the police station but they threw him out?

What a jungle of a country. All man for himself. Twa.

Odenigbo Aroli: Op could be one of the chronic Igbo haters who isn't happy with the success we made so far in education. So,he decides to help his people by failing Igbo children. Don't be surprised, Yorubas are very dirty and capable of anything. They have no conscience!

cbrass: For where please stop believing those lies,

I was in Jss3 when I started marking wayec...come to think of it ,English Paper for that matter

cbrass: For where please stop believing those lies,

rkarang: He's probably a graduate

3coins: kill yourself by eating all the papers you marked...iidiot

rkarang: Exactly, that was what I wanted to do. His post doesn't make any difference.

When are we going to stop the idea of condemning students? Why can't we find lasting solutions to the problems of those students?

It's high time we recognized that students have different levels of understanding. The method that works for A may not work for B. Therefore, we should try to understand these students & not browbeating them.



Dear OP,

Please stop the condemnation; let's help these students in our own little way.

They can also learn but they need monitoring; i.e. someone who's going to monitor their progress. They want you to encourage and convince them.

Finally, you can bring out the best in them.


Thanks

3coins: with all due respect to the op...i find it very sad and pathetic that someone with a not too strong command of English like op is marking waec scripts....

FrancisTony: *Sigh* He marked Economics not English, Mr. English professor!

Btw, some of the words you cancelled ain't wrong. You don't even know what you're doing. Smh!

Next=====>

ferdimako: Who allowed you to mark?....oh the same thing!

ibitomisi: That's Hell! Do you live in Kogi- State. You should have done what channels Tv introduced. Take a piz and send it to them... That'd facilitate better response

ITbomb: I recently helped a friend in it, you should mention the copied works, not that the students copying dey vex me, they cannot even copy. Any mistake you see in a script will be repeated in the next 20 scripts.

It's awful
