Chai, that n!pple don suffer...

@OP
Ehn, get used to it. Funny thing is, its the same in just about any other forum out there. Newbie comes along, says something and breaks some silent ''rule'', and the entire rat-pack decends on him/her.
In any case, its a measure of your self-confidence... and general knowledge. I mean, if you actually know what you're talking about, you wouldn't get phased easily, eh?

@odumchi,
Your points are well thought-out, but i respectfully beg to disagree. I don't think our geography has anything to do with it; the root of problem lies in our SCHOOLS and EDUCATION SYSTEM.

For any culture/community/civilization to progress, it has to PRODUCE or MANUFACTURE something, an END PRODUCT, that others don't have. Or failing that, it has to DUBLICATE the technology/advancements of others. Writing on 'paper' began in Egypt with the papyrus; Europe duplicated it, modernized it, and manufactured the Printing Press. I don't know where the first Wheel was hacked together, but Europe continued to advance it until they got the first Automobile. The Asians were the first astronomers, but Americans got to the moon first. Now, this is the Age of Technology, and to get ahead in it, any competing nation has to develop its own technology. Bros, ask yourself, what has Naija developed?
-
Zilch.

Question #2: where are the cutting edge progress in various industries being made today? Answer: In universities and research institutes. Oya bros, ask yourself again: what are our universities and institutes doing? That one na Jamb question.

Our products in Naija are sub-standard, that's the simple truth. And you cant force buyers to shun the better-made foreign goods and patronise made-in-Naija stuff. The only way to turn the trend is to produce products that can compete quality-wise; and the best place to do this is in our universities and polytechnics. Thats where the BRAINS and BEST MINDS are, and thats the best place to start the change. Thats how Japan, China, and India did it. They got their best minds to duplicate the technology of the West, then their government subsidized it (so the price can compete), and then imposed import duties on the foreign equivalents. Now, they exporting to the West.

Until our lecturers dump their century-old and out-dated notes, and work with the FG and the Education sector to come up with schemes that will produce REAL engineers and technologists - schemes that will make our industries to actually PRODUCE/MANUFACTURE something - only then can we move forward.

@Poster, u're an idiot. 'Nuff said.

What i dont get is how this gurl's posts keep ending up on the trending list... Last time she wrote some crap about what kinda man ladies should avoid. I almost threw up after reading it.

I almost understand what poster's saying. Almost. Oh gosh, its slipping away again...

Ehn, thats not how it goes.

Oughta be like: That awkward moment...when u toasting a babe inside molue, and she suddenly shouts ''O BOY LEAVE ME ALONE!!!'' **dies**

Silly u.

What da blazing f!!ck?? Talk about a bazaar sale, lol... Wonders will never end. I'm curious though; what happens if the prospective man decides to seek a divorce right after marriage? He refunds the cheddah?

**Yawns**
Where's my pack of benson sef? Nonsense.

If you suspect you have an attitude problem, chances are you do. And if you dont, it doesnt hurt to be a lil nicer to people, does it?

It does say some good about you that you're bothered, though.

Abeg jor, mak i hear word! Wtf is it with all these ''we are trained not to talk to strangers'' bull? I suppose y'all plan to marry your brothers and cousins.

Mtscheww, noyn-sense. Mr. OP says the lil she-monkey took the time to look him up good-n-proper before strutting off - of course he may be exaggerating, but thats the story we're analyzing. Now pardon me folks, but that dont look to me like the actions of someone ''fearing for her life''; in fact it sounds more like someone who's choked full of herself, like a friggin' peacock, and consequently cant help strutting around (pardon the repetition), patronisingly looking down on lesser folk...in other words, our dear OP.
