MisterNRC: African educational systems have surprising outcomes.

The smartest students pass with First Class and get admissions to Medical and Engineering schools.
The 2nd Class students get MBAs and LLBs to manage the First Class students.
The 3rd Class students enter Politics and rule both the 1st and 2nd Class students.
The "Failures" enter the Underworld of crime and control the politicians and the businesses.

And, best of all, those who did not attend school become Prophets and everyone follows them....

What a paradox and an irony of life!☹

hehehehe very funny...

[size=28pt]Nigerian Mathematician wins AU Science award
[/size]

A Nigerian, Professor Oluwole Daniel Makinde,presently a Senior Professor of Applied Mathematics and Director of Post Graduate Studies at Cape Peninsula University (CPTU) in South Africa has emerged winner of the African Union Kwame Nkrumah 2011 Scientific Award for Basic Sciences, Technology and Innovation.



The award was presented on Sunday, January 29 at the African Union Commission Headquarters during the formal opening ceremony of the 18th AU Summit, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Professor Maryke Tine Labuschagne also bagged the Life and Earth Science Award.

Makinde, who obtained his B.Sc and M.Sc degrees from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University), and a Doctorate from the University of Bristol has contributed immensely to the upliftment of previously disadvantaged groups in Africa especially in the area of mathematical science research and training.

The African Union launched the AU Scientific Award Programme on September 9, 2008. Renamed as the “African Union Kwame Nkrumah Scientific Awards” in July 2010, the award “is one of the holistic and deliberate measures taken by the Commission to maintain science and technology on top of Africa’s development, co-operation and political agenda. The objective of the programme is to give out scientific awards to top African scientists for their scientific achievements and valuable discoveries and findings.”

President Goodluck Jonathan in a congratulatory letter to Makinde described his achievements as “a source of pride to all Nigerians, particularly worthy of emulation by the younger generation”, adding that the winner is “a very gifted scholar, an achiever, and a man of impressive credentials.”

Makinde a past winner of the Young African Mathematician award in 2003 was also appointed Secretary of the African Mathematics Union in 2009.

During his visit to the Nigeria in 2010, he was at the Covenant University.

Prior to joining CPUT, Prof Makinde headed the Applied Mathematics Department for more than ten years and became a Full Professor at the University of Limpopo in South Africa.

Makinde in an interview published in CPUT Newsletter described mathematics as the “precursor of science and technology and the indispensable single element in modern societal development.”

According to him, mathematics education is therefore indispensable in nation-building.

His key focus area for research is in Computational and Mathematical Modelling of Engineering and Biological Systems.

God bless him, I had a privilege of setting in front of him as his student, many African young mathematician like me have benefited from his work.

Sorry to burst your bubble but;

1. That is not Mandela's house but an old house that he stayed in decades ago that was turned into a museum in Soweto.
2. Those pictures, paintings and hounary certificates are what people send Madiba as gifts.
3. Madiba has never gone to T.B. Joshua he does not even know who that is, as much as they mostly do not know 90%of the people who sent those gifts.

Elmos: Mine start by 8:30am and End around 8:30pm, but I do arrive around between 2:00am to 2:30am, if I don't go by that time I will outside for the whole service. and I even realized lately that people now get to church earlier than me.
