missclasssy:
Well, I am neutral on this. I just want to read what others have to say, especially the ladies.

I think it's the same old argument why women prefer social courses to sciences courses. Different interest and all that. The same argument could be made of women superior language skills to men (on average).
It is very complex to determine which of the sexes (Never mind in Nigeria) are more intelligent as shown In 2012, when women scored an higher average IQ test than men. Although in the high range, my own observation to date is that at or above the 98th percentile there are about twice more males than females, while at or above the 99.9th percentile there are about 15 times more males. These estimates are based on the male/female ratios in certain high I.Q.

Until we can accurately measure intelligence then we might not get the full picture.

MrsChima:
Education is acquired or learned which means external input(gathering of data/information) and intelligence is simply having the innate ability to critically think and formulate organic thoughts.

My husband didn't know how to speak Creole but he was educated to speak the language and comprehend the written structure. He is gifted in music and never had formal education in music. He was able to critically analyzed and produce music.

I have met individuals with higher education from prominent universities and some of them couldn't hold a wit to save their lives! Education is about what you were studying as a child and adult but it is not about what you can do with your mind organically!

You can't teach sameness and critical thinking!

MrsChima it shows your husband is intelligent verbally and you perhaps even more so, but like I said earlier to another poster, intelligence is a combination of many things. Most people in top Universities with advanced degrees (especially in maths and physics) are known to lack communication and social skills. I am sure you have met geeks who can't hold a normal convo to save their lives.Will you say they lack wisdom or intelligence (not fair)?
P.Dirac, arguably the greatest scientists after A.Eistein was known to suffer from poor communication skills and wit, but yet still discovered the greatest quantum theory of this century.
We can all think of people that have poor reasoning and brilliant memories, or fantastic language skills but aren't so hot at reasoning, and so on.
Knowledge is a fancy name for the conditioning we have been subjected to. Wisdom is something that you start to have once you realize that it was just conditioning.
Intelligence is is a measure of how well you can use your intellect to help yourself deal with the situations that you are confronted with in life.

Most people don't seem to know what intelligence is, and are wrongfully assuming anyone with poor communication skills lack intelligence. so I need to post again(Probably start a thread later after work).

Intelligence is a cumulative addition of three main things, Namely; short-term memory, reasoning and a verbal component.
Anybody that can't hold a decent conversation is simply lacking in verbal intelligence, which doesnt make him/her leas intelligent overall. Verbal ability involve; Reading, writing, speaking. Socially speaking, most physicists are known to lack a certain level of social Verbal intelligence, of which MrsChima think constitutes to overall intelligence. Technically speaking, they are still very intelligent (even verbally), all it means is that they lack social verbal intelligence. Most highly educated people with advance degrees like maths and theoretical physics are very intelligent but lack social verbal intelligence, which must not be mistaken for overall intelligence. I think the ability to come up with innovative ideas and insightful questions is only as powerful as the ability to convey them. Most great minds have always find a way to get their idea across, which shows a good/decent (Maybe not excellent in social term)verbal ability.
According to historians, when P. Dirac (often referred to as one word per hour) met Niels Bohr in Copenhagen, he grumbled to Ernest Rutherford, "This Dirac, he seems to know a lot of physics, but never says anything." Neils also complained about P. Dirac of not knowing how to finish a sentence of which his reply was "I was taught at school never to start a sentence without knowing the end of it :lol:. My point is, communication skills is just part of Verbal ability.
I think 'exceptional(far and few between)' doctors, physicists and engineers from top Universities are more likely to be more intelligent than someone from just any universities. Therefore next time you talk to someone unable to hold what might appear to you as intelligent talk, ask yourself this, Does he lack social verbal intelligence or technical verbal intelligence? If they lack both, then there might be a problem.

The truth of the matter is, it's not as intelligent as you think. The ability or lack of to engage in a conversation doesn't constitute a lack of intelligence. She doesn't understand intelligencentre at all. Intelligence is a cumulative addition of three main things, Namely; short-term memory, reasoning and a verbal component.

MrsChima:
Despite the saying that the most educated are Nigerian men...I have met a plethora or "educated" Nigerian men who can't reason to save their life. Just because you can regurgitate what you have digested from lecture halls doesn't make you smart.

Education and Intelligence are two separate definitions and you would think it would be interchangeable but, if George Bush Jr who graduated from an ivy league institution can be coined as the dumbest president in HISTORY.

Educated doesn't mean you have wits or common sense that is what smart is!

Although distinct, they are closely related. Education attainment is highly associated with intelligence. While it is true that "anyone" can attain a level of education and that someone with money can probably "purchase" a degree of some kind, those with advanced education are almost also quite intelligent. Your usage of George Bush as an example, is quite predictable and ignorant. George Bush studied history for goodness sake. You seem to lack intelligence anyways.
There are different types of intelligence by the way, just so you know.

Lol. Suicide mission.

Nigerians just love dying like rats. You are outnumbered, outgunned, and will be overpowered with ease. Kill a few of them and it will move from xenophobia to proper genocide, with everyone joining the mob.

When thing get messy like this, you get a few things to protect yourself, but keep a low profile. Hopefully, South Africans won't see this nonsense.

Can someone please give Nigerians proper brains? Loool. Even Nigeria as a country won't last two months in a war with South Africa, unless you want both Lagos and Abuja to turn to graveyards. Use ya brains not emotions.

I don't understand how you came to that conclusion? Nigeria is the richest country in Africa for a start. More than twice the population which is always vital in any war.
Top three, along with South Africa and Egypt as the countries with the biggest defence in Africa. Not a forgone conclusion as much as you think.

Hi, guys. I was raised as a christian and for sometime now I have been struggling with my christian life. I have no doubt that there is a God, but some things in the bible are not always clear (so to speak to avoid blasphemy).
Anyways my christian life aside, my question today is about tower of babel. What are your take on tower of babel? Do you think God caused language confusion because he was concerned they will reach him in heaven?
What could be the motive or is unity bad?

Everything you say is hilarious because you think Im not aware of the way you function. But also your complete misunderstanding of feminism today. Its about empowerment, equality and women rights. This doesn't mean there needs to be a radical change in the physical operation of society but rather its the attitudes and thinking that needs change and broadening. For me attitudes are foremost vital because when this changes, there will be a domino effect meaning equality will be better achieved. You have this radical notion of some sort of woman army, boycotting and setting up women only businesses etc. NO, that is a narrow minded and antiquated way of thinking.

Read the article and the comments of the average feminist.

Mandu94:
You cannot really compare black people getting into Oxbridge to women getting into top positions. Firstly many black people come from working class families and there is a strong correlation between educational attainment and class. No university discriminates based on colour as its about grades, extra-curricular activities, experiences and references. However when it comes to getting a job its a totally different ball game. When looking at the statistics the gender disparity is great, and race is another issue too. However we are discussing gender not race. There are many women capable to get top positions but unfortunately men are much likely to be chosen because "strong", "capable" etc are stereotypically associated with men although it should not be the case. This means women are being discriminated against. You mentioned black men, think about how hard it'll be as a BLACK WOMAN. For change to there needs to be 'positive discrimination', so that in society general attitudes change.

Though, I promised not to get involve in this debate again, but you have been reasonable and concise tbf.

Leaving university aside, the point still holds for jobs. Who do you think is more likely to get a job, Black man or a white woman? Yes, black woman does have it harder than anyone else but black men are being discriminated against as well. In view of all this I still don't want any positive discrimination for myself. I know as a black guy, you do have to be better than white men (exceptional) to get the kind of job I have, but getting positive discrimination to get it doesn't sit well with me.
Some black guys always complain about the same thing, how they are being discriminated against and the need for positive discrimination to help them out, all of which i find quite irritating.
There is a policy in banks about the minimum amount of women that should be in banking, and even in quants. So, this pressure have created a situation where my HR sometimes gives a priority to some women over a more qualified men just to keep to the cooperate policy. Do you think this is fair on the more qualified guy, when research have shown women prefer social courses to science degrees?
Equal opportunities should be just that- equal opportunities. I think women should be fighting for equal chance and not for a positive discrimination.
FYI, are women being discriminated against? Absolutely and even more so for black women, but positive discrimination shouldn't be the answer.

LMAO!!! . I have heard it all! How in the Bleep can average feminists not share feminism idealogy

If they don't share feminism views/idealogy then they are not feminist! Duh!!!

That's like some gay men saying they don't share gay rights equality!

Feminism isn't about power nor position. It is about equality distribution of all factors between both sexes. If a person doesn't share that idealogy then they are not the believer of that idealogy. You can't pick and choose what sects and be a whole believer. Nonsense!!

You need to take it easy coming at me like I took you to child support court or something!

Perhaps you should ask your average female what their definition of feminism is? Don't want to go into semantics or pedantics with you. You keep arguing about semantics (which I haven't disagree with) and pedantics(which I disagree with) which begs the questions about your understanding or lack-of and your comprehension skills. Go on guardian, there is a section for feminism, and you should be able to see what the average person think of it.
Go and argue with the editors that they are not true feminist. The points is, your definition of what feminism is, might no longer holds true for the average person female.
