The Nigerian government impounded a bus created
as an artistic memorial to commemorate the 20th
anniversary since the hanging of environmentalist
Ken Saro-Wiwa.
Tuesday marks 20 years since the execution of Saro-
Wiwa and eight other Nigerian human rights
activists by Nigeria's then-military government.
They had led protests against environmental
damage in the oil-rich Niger Delta region caused by
oil giant Shell. They were hanged, despite
an international outcry, for their alleged involvement
in the murder of four Ogoni tribal leaders.

Japhet04:
pls help me what should I do to recover

I understand your position perfectly, all you need to do is focus and study more, put away anything that will cause you distraction, look for previous past questions study them and above all always commit your studies and exams in the hands of God.

swaggprofessor:

Mr. Man you are not in love, you are in lust, her big ass is what is confusing you. Better use your head and move on.

This is getting too old and stale.

While I do not support totally embarrassing HND graduates and denying them of promotions, appointments and a chance to make a successful career, it should be noted that HND and B.Sc/B.A/B.Agric/B.Tech/LL.B/B.Fisheries/MBBS/DVM are different and the dichotomy must be emphasised.
HND is a technical diploma. It is technically not even a Degree but a National Diploma. B.Sc and its other appellations are the recognised standard for academic, theoretical and career based jobs and appointments. That is not to say HND cannot be used. It is just that HND is better off for handy middle-levelled and technical jobs/careers. The whole essence of HND is to make sure that there are middle-levelled skilled people in the society that can be called upon and relied on for their technical expertise. University graduates are seen as having done a theoretical study with much intellectual rigour and are, thus, deemed to have a high intellectual acuity for certain professions and careers. This must be known and not relegated. No matter how much sentiments come in and no matter how much we try to equate these certifications, the sacrosanct fact is that they are not the same. As long as one is a "Diploma" and another is a "Degree", they can NEVER be treated equal and same.

On the issue of Shell equating HND with Third Class, I have iterated in the previous paragraph that HND is not seen as an intellectually inclined degree but rather as a technically inclined diploma. Having a Distinction in HND only proves that you have an excellent technical expertise, perhaps even beyond that of University Degree holders. However, this does not translate into the fact that you are intellectually buoyant enough to stand a University First Class product. It doesn't add up. For one, our Nigerian Polytechnics operate a 4 points GPA system as opposed to the 5 Points used in our Nigerian varsities. Secondly, the units of courses taken in HND programmes are far lower, both individually and cumulatively, when compared with a University. Thirdly, the course contents in Polytechnics are peripheral and elementary as opposed to that of a University! Fourthly, the calibre of academic staff and their standing is much lower than that of a University. For one, a Polytechnic cannot have a Professorial Cadre! Polytechnics usually have substandard facilities and make-shift labs and instruments. All these come together to haunt the graduates of Nigerian Polytechnics!

The solution to all these bifurcations is easy. Polytechnics should be made to award a B.Tech rather than an "Ordinary" or "Higher" diploma. Polytechnic facilities should be overhauled and made to standards. The Professorial Cadre, alongside its competitive and cumbersome "floating" process, should be introduced to the Polytechnics. Polytechnics should employ the 5 or more Points GPA system and courses should be well developed, standard and carry higher units! In fact, the term Polytechnic should be hijacked from parlance and replaced with University of Technology or any other soothing appellation. We should always strive to follow the UK pattern in our technological pedagogical system.

Finally, on the issue of ostracization and stigmatization, I believe it is only Nigerian Legislative Bodies that can end this once and for all. As long as they are comfortable with it, nothing will change! Let's just stop flogging this issue and look forward to better things! This issue has been discussed, ignited and quenched severally since Nigerian employers' decisions to employ preferential treatments! It is time we either take drastic measures or simply let it go as we have always done.

Mr. Baminasri, I am sorry about your plight! Your best is yet to come. I'd advise you to get a PGD and possibly a Masters though.


CC:
Freemanan, Freeemanan, Goodboiy, Scholes0, LordAdam; What do you think?

Nice comment, I school in a federal university of technology awarding B.Tech....those with HND who come to do PGD are taught 300L courses so you can imagine someone with HND doing 300L course work what do you think they'll be taught in M.sc? 400L and 500L course work.

You can not equate HND to B.Sc or B.Eng because someone with HND does post graduate studies before doing M.sc and what is taught in post graduate class? 300L B.Sc or B.Eng work.

khristals:
so the problem he's complaining of is that people no longer die as frequently as they used to

Lol you can imagine

ABA—A middle-aged man, identified as Papa
Ogada, has dumped his 14-year-old son in a well,
accusing him of being behind his inability to make
progress in life.
Vanguard gathered that Ogada, a coffin maker,
who hails from Oberete village in Obingwa Local
Government Area of Abia State, had been
complaining that his son was a wizard, who had
caused him serial misfortunes since reuniting with
him, after leaving his mother’s place.
A source said: “The truth is that the man has been
separated from the boy’s mother. Since the boy
came back from his mother’s place where he lived,
the man has been accusing him of being a wizard.
“He once told us that he had consulted many
spiritualists, who told him that his son is a wizard
and is behind the problems he has had in his
business.
“We are not surprised that he went this far.”
It was learned that Ogada contacted one of his
friends, who helped him tie up the boy with his
school uniform, books and other property and
drove off at about 9p.m. to neighbouring Abiaka
village, where they dumped him in an abandoned
well.

are you this jobless?

Are you this foolish?

I was in Mr Biggs yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to mess, They were playing Don Jazzy’s Dorobucci. The music was really really loud, so I timed my mess with the beat of the music. I was releasing my mess alongside the music so that nobody would hear the sound of the mess although the mess was very loud too. When I finished, I started to feel better but I looked around and noticed that everybody in the restaurant frowned and was staring at me….. Why? Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to the music with my ear-phone. I almost fainted!!!

You lovers of injustice keep crying. When some miscreant went to rivers house with a view to takeover the house and chidi loid the speak refused to accept injustice we all knew what followed next. Cp mbu was used to frustrate a sitting governor. Instead of bipi getting punished gej decided to lock up the speaker and he fainted as a result of the intimidation and torture dss gave him. Untill mbu is brought to book peace will not reign. Turn by turn we will get their

By Olasunkanmi Akoni Pandemonium broke Sunday afternoon, when a yet to be identified substance exploded at Number 88 Oworo Road, in Oworonsoki area of Lagos State. The incident according to eyewitness, occurred at about 2 15 pm, when residents were returning to their respective homes after church. At the time of this report, the number of casualty cannot be ascertained though it was learnt that many sustained injuries in attempts to escape from the scene of the blast. Director, Lagos Fire Service, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, who confirmed the incident, said immediately they received the distressed call at about 2:20pm, men of the Ilupeju Fire Service were dispatched to the area. Fadipe also could not confirm immediately if the explosion was a bomb or otherwise. According to him, “We are still investigating the incidence to determine the immediate or remotes cause of the explosion.” More details later…. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/pandemonium-as-explosion-rocks-lagos/
