hello ned,
thanx! u knw some info can not be gotten thru google. such first hand infos can only be gotten thru fora like this and as nigerians nah NL be the place, so pls be patient.
at CULS, I want to apply to institute of tropics and sub-tropics. to be more precise, i want msc tropical animal science. but on the page i see that theres entrance exam. do i have to take that exam before securing admission? is it obligatory? did u write any exam in ur own case? how is their english accent? is it difficult to understand? thanx alot.

thanx for the response ned! u mentioned language accent in ur RE. what about it? is their accent difficult to understand or wat? i dnt understand. with regard to main study, to be candid I am not a very good student, not very sound and brilliant. i would say that am an average or a little below average student. i passsed my papers with help of tutorials and studying past question papers which my lecturers often repeated. it was more of GIGO - garbage in garbage out, meaning i gave them(lecturers) back what they gave us. do you think one can cope there at all? what is the pass mark and credit score there? here in naija 40 is pass while 50 is credit. are there any kind of tutorials and group discussions to help? u said the education standard is good, how about research? is CULS good and well oriented in research? pls advice.

Hello Nedostic, kodus to ur offer of advice! am interested in uni of life sciences praha. i see theres czk550 application fee. how much is that in Naira and how does one pay? i beliv ur course infomatics is taught in english right? how is their english instruction in class? is it good, is it as good as the english used for instruction in nigerian universities? the reason for comparing is that u knw nigeria official language is english while it is not so in czech. as such since we use english alot our english might be better than that of the tutors in czech right?
u have not talked about lifestyle in czech. whats the common and easily prepared food? what extra activities are common there? does it mean that if u dont speck czech then one will have to stay indoors and confined?
cheers,

Brexy in d house! Welcome aboard, its nice to see u in NL.

i am hausa from katsina state. i think it is our northern leaders who ruled this country for long years that have caused us much problems. for all those years they ruled, they never did anything tangible for the masses. the government then was dominated with corruption and self enrichment. the masses bacame aware of this reality; and when buhari a person known for integrity presented himself, the northern masses accepted him as their messiah. thus he gained a large support from them. he vied for president in 2003 but lost; the elections were rigged. he want to the court but judiciary was bad. he vied again in 2007 but the election was more heavily rigged this time. the rigging was so provocative because it involved physical use of force by the incumbent govt then. it involved thumb printing, snatching and stuffing of ballot boxes by those in power. the masses were frustrated. they were shown power of incumbency. buhari went to court again but to no avail. this time around, in 2011 he said he was not going to court as it was useless; buhari told the masses to protect their votes and reject rigging. this potrayed buhari as the vilian while GEJ was calling for peace and condenming violence and thus seemed like the good guy.
as for the violence and killings that ensued after the elections, it was committed by northern agberos, street boys who have nothing doing but always intoxicated by smokng marijuana. they are uneducated, poor and unemployed. they barely have a good understanding of islam too. they are just waiting for any opportunity to cause chaos. they loot, damsge properties and kill. some of them also have a wrong perception of the wars islam fought against unbelieves in those days. so when such chaotic situation arise, they think its OK to kill the xtians. no educated northerner will do that.
for the born to rule mentatlity, ive never known of it. i dont know if the northern elites had any delibrate plan or agenda towards that effect. even if they did, the common northerner didnt know about it. however, what i know is that, the common northerner is in most cases religiously biased. he always has religious sentiments. this is typical of an islamic state. what the uneducated northern masses always forget is that nigeria is not an islamic state.
this problem has it roots in the issue of secularism. i believe xtianity also faced this prob at one time. in orthodox traditional islam, the church (mosque) is not separated from the state. so uptill this time, islam is still being faced with the issue of secularism. it almost seems that in islam, the church is inseparable from the state. however, these days, new ways of thinking and interpretation have begun springing up which seems to be giving way to secularism but it mey still take some time for it become fully accepted and integrated in islamic societies.
the almajiris are students. today, they are seen as nuisance becuase they do more evil than good. the almajiri system is an old educational system which was very functional in those days. it involved students living their homes to travel to a long distance to seek knowledge. it was a difficult endeavor that required patience and persevernce. with the system, the students learnt good morals and knowledge. plus it was free of charge. however, the system is not functional today because it produces more bad students than good. some people in the rural areas still believe in this system and because they cannot afford the cost of western education they still patronize this old system of education.
sorrry for the poor construct and language.

The failure of Buhari to some of us northerners was a suprise. To us Buhari seemed to be a credible and capable candidate who could deliver Nigeria; whom most Nigerians liked. It appeared we were wrong, we had a myopic view. What could have been the primary reason for his failure? Is it because of the dangerous statements he made and fear of his alleged plan to islamize NG, is it because the southerners wanted one of theirs to be president this time or is it because you think he is an incapable and poor leader?

wat do u think about duplicating/cloning a working pay tv card and using d clone card on another receiver to watch encrypted channels. An example: "lets say my neighbor is a dstv subscriber and has a working card, then i duplicate his card using a smart card writer". Now d questn is, do u think d duplicated card will be able to open d encrypted channels on my own receiver without subscribing?

@adewest
