Education / Re: Private School Teachers Are Really Going Through Alot. by lorhema(f): 2:33pm On Apr 17
sunsweet33:
That is one thing, the other one is the detestable state of Textbooks that children are being forced to buy, see them riddled with horrible errors and fallacies.

sometimes they were even written by the headmaster of that same school which is even more worrying.

After they will ask why a law graduate speaks bad English. Was the bad English not supplied by the school in the first place?

Textbooks should be published according to the curriculum by respectable companies like in other countries and not used as a ploy to extort parents.

I didn't know this was a widespread practice. I checked a ward's Agriculture textbook recently and was stunned to see its material was largely based on publications and figures from the Directorate of Food, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI). This was a failed project from more than two decades back.

The grammar was something else.

I have considered writing to the proprietors to urge them to review the choice of textbook but wondered if my letter would have an effect.

With your information, I think I should hold my peace.

Food / Re: Locally-produced Foods Now More Expensive Than Imported Ones by lorhema(f): 3:33pm On Apr 13
zionstaar75:
this is the last year things will be like this. Niger state has cleared over 1 million hectares. I'm not guessing I have a friend who owns 2 tractors working there. You will see how food will be surplus next year

By God's grace.

Travel / Re: FAAN Shuts Down KFC Outlet At Lagos Airport Over Discrimination by lorhema(f): 2:56pm On Mar 28
Namaster:
I like the swift response.

I realized there is an accessibility crisis in Nigeria the day I saw a hospital with stairs and NO ramp.

I believe that our architects require some updating in this area.

When my design showed a ramp for access to the front door (on one side and stairs on the other side), the engineer who was assisting us didn't see why one was needed. Then he decided to switch them and make the stairs the focus of the approach. That would have resulted in a very steep ramp. I refused and took control.

Later, he confessed that when he talked with some of his friends, they enlightened him about the use of ramps in homes.
He said he had believed that ramps were only used in public settings.

Even then, when I had asked him, months earlier, if our new church building design had a ramp, all he said was that a car could go into the building and the passenger would alight! He's been practising for decades.

I believe that special attention should be paid to the issue of building accessibility in the training of our architects and engineers. Even where ramps exist, I find that they are sometimes too steep for safety.

Some of those strong insecticides were also harmful to man even if you inhaled after so many hours.
Their half-life is days, and they attack internal organs by long time accumulation. You may not feel the effects immediately but many years later and by then, you won't know it's the cause of your problems.

So true. Especially the Baygon of yore which I swore by.

Politics / Re: Food Crisis: No Plan To Establish Price Control Board - Tinubu by lorhema(f): 2:05pm On Feb 16
JB4life:
Tinubu knows that price control is not possible for commodities not produced by government,just like telling private universities how much they will charge as school fees.

Second , importation of food is not easy nowadays, because of extremely high cost of USD making imported food to be far more expensive than locally produced ones .

If there were cheaper foods out there ,then there would have been no exporting of foods like maize, soyabeans, beniseed, etc.


Solution to Nigerian economic crisis is increased security, aggressive production of goods and services, especially farm products, and curbing corruption.

May God have mercy on us.

Amen.
Politics / Re: Protests: FG Mulls Food Import If Hunger Persists by lorhema(f): 3:18pm On Feb 09
Just this week, I read about farmers waiting for the release of dam water in either Katsina or Kano State.

The project is apparently owned by the Federal Government but the state has provided a generator. The officials haven't pumped water because they say they need funds to install the generator, buy diesel, oil etc.

The farmers said that if the water wasn't released by next week, they would have lost the opportunity to farm this dry season.

This lack of preparation by government agencies is also responsible for hitches in the agricultural sector.

Gedu is a kind of tree that grows well in Southwest Nigeria. Ask timber fellers. They will show you one. It is stronger than Iroko and Wallnut trees.

Just that our people have nearly cut and exported everything abroad.

The wood sells like hot-cake abroad.

I would get a basket and fill it with packets of oats, powdered milk, sugar, crackers, garri, Poundo, a scrubbing brush, dishwashing liquid, a couple of kitchen napkins etc.

Give them the pleasure of exploring their gift.

I'm glad you have peace living with them and that your health has improved.

A grateful heart brings more blessings.

The Mother and Child hospital at Akerele, Surulere doesn't have such issues. They can go there.
