kingbang: Oh, now its the church and not Peter Obi again? Confused APC buttlicker.

I have always blamed the church..

No Church in Nigeria pays any attention to safety.. Its only a matter of time before Redeemed and all these mega churches experience similar.

Was it not a few years back that 14 people dies at Reinhard Bonnke crusade in Nigeria?!

Churches are just happy to see a crowd of people.. Thats all that matters.

deols: #5.

I know of a family. They had a problem and the husband collected his car keys from her in the morning.

When he came back, there was a brand new car parked for him to see. His wife had bought it.

..they had too many issues though and later divorced.

OMO!!!!!!!!!!



I am a married man and sitting here right here right now trying to picture myself in such a situation, I still dont know what I would do...

Phder: Apologetic behaviour? Comprehension deficiency? I guess you don't know the meaning of those words. Go back and read your comment that was quoted. You said "Nigeria colleges can't admit the total number of student writing WAEC every year, hence they introduced UTME to reduce the number of eligible candidates" And I said you're wrong, citing US as an example, that despite having thousands of tertiary institutions, applicants are also expected to write a standardized test.

My conclusion is this; it's either your finger types faster than your brain thinks, or you choose not to use the white and grey matter effectively.

Erm!!

But isnt WAEC|NECO|& GCE Nigerias own version of the American SAT?

RubyTheBlogger: that awkward moment when am tired of posting on this thread.. I shud av posted more than 30comments in this thread alone. I don try

No be me talk o!!

Infact!! This is that awkward moment when I post on NL when I'm drunk...

That awkward moment when you are with your new babe and your balls starts itching you really bad..

blink182: And the subject of this story goes to church/mosque. The wickedness in this country is too much.

I have an aunt that is a queen-first wife of a traditional ruler. I stopped visiting her, the wickedness to her maids is just too much. Who gives a kid N10 for breakfast and lunch in 2013? I can't even start to mention her atrocities before I get really angry over nothing. My dad has helped all interested in schooling while working for him. I even grew up thinking 2 of them were my half sisters, I was almost 20 before I discovered they were not family or even remotely related.

A human being is a human being no matter their financial status or background.

My P.A was driving me home after work and spotted a Range ROver Sport in fornt of us and said; This woman asked me to get her a house girl that she would be paying 8,000 naira a month.. I almost choked. He went on to say that she worked in Mobil and her husband also had a good job.

Now I immediately did the maths in thy head. thats approximately 250 Naira a day for her upkeep. No school, no phones, no nothing. Thats slavery my guy.

The only solution to this is for the FG to set up a 'snitch' programme where people can call in annoymously and report such abuse to the government.

Many of these people wey get house help dey form ignorant. The employment laws of this country if fully enforced, many of these people will languish in jail for many years. They dont provide healthcare, compensation or anything for these maids and yet pay them way less than minimum wage.


I blame it all on poverty & illiteracy..

Obrafour: MR Aboki, [color=deeppink] the School of Medical Sciences graduated its first batch of medical students on the 31st August, 2013[/color]. I guess at that time, they wanted to take advantage of them beign a state institution to get a preferential tratment from another state institution(National Accreditation Board), but they are not a fully fledged medical institution.
Every Ghanaian or foreign student knows that University of Ghana - Legon, KNUST - Kumasi & University of Cape Coast are all top tier competitive universities in Ghana.
Indeed UCC's grading system is the highest in the country.

I know that UCC has set their grading system higher than all other schools with a first class starting from an 80 CWA. I believe that UMaT also runs the same grading system.

But this Medical school matter, I am certain of it. Someone else has even confirmed it here saying that it has been resolved.

They didnt use fake degrees because the same O'levels was what they used in gaining admission abroad and today are all doctors.

That awkward moment when you realize your zipper was down all that time you were giving a speech infront of that crowd.

Obrafour: First 0ff, there is nothing like a federal university in Ghana, we dont operate a federal system. UCC is not a mushroom institution to make a major blunder that will call for NAB(National Accreditation Board) to cancel that course. If it did happen please provide a verified source to back your claim.

Im talking about Medicine.

My friends (3 of them) who were studying Medicine in University of Cape Coast had to leave for Europe after they found out that UCC's medical dept was not accredited. This was in 2004- 2005.

I dont need you to validate my claims as I know this for a fact. Maybe they have fixed it now, but that was what it was then. Dont forget that UCC is the weakest link in the Chain of top Universities in Ghana.

Plus, Federal or whatever, you get the point I was making.

[b]The truth is that the Government of Nigeria needs to look into the admission criteria for Nigerian Students into the University.

I see no reason why the Government needs to set up multiple entrance examinations ranging from; WAEC to NECO to GCE to JAMB to Port-JAMB for a student when his counterparts in other West African countries are writing just WAEC and entering into school. These many examinations were neccessitated by the corruption that has eaten deep into the education system due to widespread examination malpractice.

The fact that a student aces their JAMB test and yet have to put 3 different results (GCE|NECO & WAEC) together to attain the required 6 Credit necceasry to gain admission into the University does not make these students any better than those that got admission riding on the back of a single result.

What applies in Ghana is that when once you ace your WAEC, you gain admission into the University and should you perform poorly in the University, you get expelled and have to go through the system again. Infact, once expelled, its really difficult to re-renter the University again. The problem with our education system isnt the fact that we have to owrite JAMB, the problem is that the foundation is already poor. Many of the half-baked graduates walking around today have JAMB results.



To the Nigerians who run to those Mushroom Universities in Ghana to school, note that many of these schools dont have an accreditation for their courses. My friends who were in their third year in Univeristy of Cape Coast (which is a major federal Uni in Ghana) all had to drop out and go to europe because their course had no accreditation.

Be wise..[/b]

freecocoa: What do they mean by his age being unknown at this time? Like for real?

Shey na this guy wey no gree make Suntai be Governor.. Now ehn don kpoof, Suntai still dey chill..











Life is indeed a female dog.

carr101: Such a dumb topic!
I guess Nigerian students in Europe also failed jamb.


Dummies in nairaland are increasing day by day

I dont think he is after the Nigerians that school in Ghana in general, he is attacking those that attend some rather shaddy mushroom Unis in Ghana which I am well aware of.

The Number of Unis that sprung up in Ghana because of Nigerian Students are just too many to count.

Akson man: Regularly we are inundated with fairy tale news about how wonderful Ghanaian universities are.

Of course ASUU strikes/government neglect have made university education in Nigeria a nightmare,but in the last decade Nigeria has come up with several private universities with fantastic structures populated by Nigerian students.

Ghana has some pretty universities too,but many Nigerian students often go for some strange Ghanaian universities that are just 3 storey buildings along a street corner.

GUESS WHAT?
The main reason why many some Nigerians rush to Ghanaian universities is because THEY CAN'T PASS JAMB.
In Ghana,once you pass WAEC and u can afford tuition,admission to any Ghanaian university is certain. Unlike in Nigeria where regardless of the university you want to enter,you must first attain a descent JAMB score,plus POST-UME results.

This is the true story of the mad rush to Ghanaian universities

Ask for that Backyard university matter in Ghana...


Any Nigerian Graduate of Ghana that didnt attend the following schools;

1. KNUST Kumasi (My alma Mater)
2. University of Ghana (Legon)
3. University of Mines and Technology (Tarkwa)
4. University of Cape Coast


I wonder wetin you go find for Ghana.. You should have attended BAbcock Uni in Nigeria.

ABeg free Freecocoa like Terry G..

Orikinla: Many families in urban areas in Nigeria and other countries in the world have housemaids and houseboys and they are the popular domestic workers in many homes.
There are those who cannot do without them.

I am not really against families with housemaids and houseboys, but I am really concerned about how they treat them.
We have heard and read of many reports of horrible and terrible things done to housemaids and houseboys by their employers.
In many homes, they treat them without respect and so they maltreat them.
I have seen where dogs in the mansion are better treated than housemaids and houseboys in Nigeria.
I mean the dogs can sit on the rug with the family, but the housemaids and houseboys cannot do so.

The worst is to deprive your housemaid or houseboy of education.
It is evil and wicked not to send the housemaid or houseboy of school age to the nearest school.
Depriving your housemaid or houseboy of basic primary or secondary school education is dangerous to your own security and welfare.
Lest we forget, your innocent children are often left in the care of your housemaids and houseboys and imagine what kind of knowledge they would share with your children if they are not educated!
And when you maltreat them, you are going to end up misleading your own children with your bad example in parenting and guardianship.

Mr. Op Sir..

This is an issue that I have discussed extensively with many people.

Now I grew up in a house that had more househelps than kids in it. We all sent them to school and they were treated as best as we could (without necessarily giving them the same treatment as we the children of the house got). I mean theyslept in the same rooms with us, ate from the same pot with us (infact served themselves as the liked as food was never inshort supply), e.t.c.

Now heres where my probem begins;

1. Taking a minor in as a maid is one thing I do not suscribe to. I believe that every child should have the right to be a child. The right to go to school, return home to minor (moderate chores), rest, play, do homeworks, eat and sleep. Where a child is subjected to continous work with littel time for them to enjoy their childhood, that I object to.

2. Sending a maid to school is not good enough, the quality of that education also matters. I am very well aware of how deep and far the thoughts of parents go when it comes to the choice of school for their kids. Many maids (especially child maids) almost, always end up in Public schools where the education they get is a valueable as the non-polymer 20Naira of 1995. I remember one of our maids (distant cousin) that I went to pick from school one day on my way back from school. When I got into her school, she was the person in-charge of selling the ice-cream (frozen flavoured water) that the teacher was selling. That was when I took the liberty of going through her school books and realized that she had nothing in them. What kind of education is that?!

2.1 Extra Lessons and home tutoring. Who does these for these child maids?! I know that the english I speak & write today was not taught to me in school but at home by my mother. Who gives these child maids the after school care and tutoring that EVERY child needs?! Do they have any form of home schooling from either their Masters or a hired tutor?! Do their masters monitor their school works?! Who proof reads/checks their homeworks?!

3. The teenage maids normally are given the option of learning a craft. Now this is something I can suscribe to as I am a strong believer in technical education. However, many of these masters almost, always send them to learn these skills, trade and crafts at centres that are nothing to write home about.

4. Emotional care. Beyond school, how about the emotional aspect of these child maids?! Who do they run to when they have a cut on their hands?! Who comforts them when they cry like kids do?? Who basically caters to their emotional needs?! NOBODY!!!! Those child maids grow up faster than their masters kids.

Thats why my take on maids are;

1. Never take in a minor or a teenager as a maid.
2. All maids must be paid a healthy wage and a bonus incentive added.
3. All maids must be over the age of 18. (Perferably 21 and above)
4. All maids must not be live-in maids.

Hommie..

Insiders news:: Nigeria's oil will soon be as valuable as Garri in the market. The international global market is flooded with so much crude and little customers..

Ruchidera: I can't understand the rationale behind your rants?
If Obi's visit does not have a political undertone, he ought to have steered
clear from the venue knowing fully well that the election is close by even being invited by the priest .

He went there to solicit for votes either by hooks or by crooks

The dead ones are gone and he had declared a three morning
for them as if it will bring them back to life

Okay!!

Let me take your mind to a deeper place.

Imagine that Night vigil with no Obi. Just a normal Night Vigil. It closes, and as people were exiting the venue, any of these happened;

1. Somebody shouts Snake
2. Somebody shouts Bomb
3. Somebody throws a fire cracker
4. Somebody just starts running

What do you think would happen?!




What we should be asking is;

1. Did the venue have proper crowd control measures in place?
2. Did the venue have enough exit points to accomodate the crowd that they had?
3. Were the members given any safety induction before the crusade started?!

These are the things we take for granted in churches. I have attended a church that had over 5000 capacity seating, yet had only 6 doors that were not that big. What if a fire broke out?! What is there was an emergency that required them all to exit?! Why are safety inductions not given in Churches? Why are safety signs pointing towards the exit, designated muster points, e.t.c not ever displayed in churches and other religous places of worship?

I think we as Nigerians should stop taking safety for granted. I am not going to take this political bait of throwing blames on people.. The blame lies squarely with the church.
