Education › Re: ASUU Strike: How Effective Is It In Your School? by mrblessed(m): 4:05pm On Nov 06, 2018
jmaine:
You are shamelessly ignorant... You mentioned acceptance fees, post UTME, and convocation fees. Are you aware that the govt forces the school to indulge in such revenue drive cos they are not willing to fulfill their own part?
Are you aware that ASUU frowns at such?
Are you aware that such money doesn't go into ASUU pockets but the university administration which are representatives of the government.
Are you aware that without ASUU struggles most campus would have become terribly obsolete with aged structures.?
The funding you mentioned which are drawn to fund state projects was part of ASUU ingenuity that gave rise to TETFUND.
ASUU current demands is to get state government to stop proliferation of universities at the espense of TETFUND been used to fund executive impunity

It is obvious you are talking from a position of sheer ignorance and blind partisan support. The political class you support is the cretin. Stop being foolish.
I just feel compel to add to your brilliant recrimination. It is a shame that most Nigerian youths exhibit rank ignorance on sensitive matters that deserve critical rational thinking. It has become disturbingly common to attribute everything to politics no matter how noble or hallow. Nigerian government does not feel obligated to fund public education in Nigeria because it does not patronise it. Take the healthcare industry, for example, where medical tourism has become conspicuous consumption, then you will appreciate the gross irresponsibility that the government is guilty of. Without the unmatchable doggedness and principled stance of ASSU, the government, thoroughly detached from the people it claims to represents, would privatise university education, making it impossible for the common man educate his children. ASSU, of course, has its own problems, like not submitting its members to uphold the ethics of the profession, defending erring, academically deficient, and morally challenged members. However, kudos must be given to the union for its tireless defence of university education in Nigeria.

No discerning person will challenge WAEC's right to produce result of an examination taken after its establishment since it has access to all manuscript of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate. What it means is that all Cambridge examinations are searchable in all centres of WAEC. However, in the case of one Mohammed Buhari of Katsina, not Mohammadu Buhari, few things do not add up. There is no record of his examination at Cambridge, which shows that he probably did not sit for the exams. What WAEC in Nigeria produced and validated in form of "attestation" certificate is the mock result produced by his school principal. Again, apart from having no record with the examination body, there are no photocopies of his secondary school certificate in his personal file or with the Nigerian military as he claims. If President Buhari truly sat for the said exam in 1961, all he needs to do is to ask Cambridge to provide INEC with written evidence that shows he wrote the exam, not compel pliable and tractable WAEC officials in Nigeria to issue him questionable "attestation" certificate, or hire 13 SAN to defend his right not to produce his certificate as required by law.

OF CAMBRIDGE, WAEC AND IMPLACABLE WAILERS
In 1948, three bodies met to brainstorm on education (particularly examination) needs in West Africa. The bodies were: University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate, University of London School Examinations Matriculation Council and West African Department of Education. At the meeting, Dr. George Barker Jeffery (Director of the University Of London Institute Of Education) was appointed to visit the four Anglophone West African countries i.e. Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, for that purpose.
That initiative and visitation led to the establishment of the West African Examination Council, WAEC, in 1952 for the four Anglophone countries. WAEC was/is head quartered in Gold Coast, now Ghana.
Effectively therefore, from 1952, related Cambridge and UoL examinations were conducted and administered in agency with WAEC.
So, if you are a university graduate and you are among those asking how WAEC issues Cambridge Exams Attestation or certificate, I cannot be rude and declare your education a waste. I won't.
But, I'll say don't be a lazy wailer. Google is a selfless friend.
No discerning person will challenge WAEC's right to produce result of an examination taken after its establishment since it has access to all manuscript of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate. What it means is that all Cambridge examinations are searchable in all centres of WAEC. However, in the case of one Mohammed Buhari of Katsina, not Mohammadu Buhari, few things do not add up. There is no record of his examination at Cambridge, which shows that he probably did not sit for the exams.

Astrosmart:
You guys need to chill and give the ladies a break, stop calling them names like ashawo ,olosho..

You guys need to have some sense and be civil
I think you are merely playing to the gallery. People with unpleasant attitude will always have a way to display what they possess --- whether female or male. It is also true that few guys have sometimes crossed the line of decency in conduct and speech. However, I disagree with you when you focus one gender alone, as if there is gender war on nairaland. I have seen ladies tear each other apart with the most uncouth words, even more meaner than the words used by some guys here. So, we should advocate for good conduct and eliminate foul and uncomplimentary remarks.
Politics › Re: Atiku Should Stop Deceiving People With Restructuring Campaign by mrblessed(m): 11:29am On Oct 28, 2018
Restructing shares similarity to fiscal federal which is the hallmark of every effective and efficient federal system of government --- the United States is a good example of what a federal system looks like. However, I understand and appreciate national and regional nuaunces and therefore cannot advocate a wholesale implementation of the American system without painstaking modifications that conform to local realities. Unfortunately, Nigeria claims to be a federal state only in theory; but in practice, it is a unitary state with a bloated, ineffective, irresponsible, and nonetheless strong state dictating to component units almost on everything.To local politics in Nigeria, of course every politics is local, restructuring is seemingly against the economic benefits of the north, who controls Nigeria's oil industry. Not because it is a bad policy but because the north has erroneously socialised itself to believe that it existence is directly tied to oil. So, whether Buhari or Atiku, I don't see any of them implementing a policy that places the south ahead of the north. To me, it sounds like an economic cum political suicide. Atiku might be a better president compare to Buhari who does not possess the capacity for critical thinking, giving his tested managerial acumen, broadmindness, and comospolitism. Nevertheless, restructuring Nigeria, in my view, will appear to be the greatest rest of an Atiku government.

"Cramming" is a nonstandard word to use for a person aspiring to become a scholar. It is even more alarming since foreigners have access to this platform, and might be wondering what the heck "cramming" means. The standard word that denotes the act of temporarily storing vital information briefly in the brain should be "memorising," not "cramming".

I am not a priest, barrister, but being a philosopher is certainly what you don't need formal training to become even if you have a degree in Philosophy. So, maybe a philosopher might be an appropriate label; something you equaly fits in. About being grammatically savvy, I think the trick is study, study, and study. And for being expose, I think someone pursuing a third degree is duty-bound to be objective and broadminded. That is the only way to contribute meaningfully to knowledge and humanity.

Thanks for your comment. The matter has already been settled to the Op's advantage. It appears that his fears and uncertainty were the consequence of his imagination. He proposed to his girl friend, she accepted without much hesitation. In the end, she has decided to marry a Catholic.

Romance › Re: She Finally Said Yes by mrblessed(m): 2:57pm On Sep 19, 2018
Congratulations! You deserve to be very happy for securing your girl's marriage affirmation for two obvious reasons. One, it is certainly a huge sacrifice on her person given your description of her disposition towards her church in your previous post. This is if we discount the pressure that might come from her family members and friends. For all those who leaped towards her defence without proper understanding of her choice and opinion towards the Catholic Church, I think her unsurprising decision to marry a Catholic calls for sober reflection. Two, I think you must have learned one or two lessons on the significance of holding strongly to your view in the face of overwhelming uncertainty. And finally, an English adage says never cross a bridge until you reach it. If you had not asked her, you would have keep speculating what her answer might be. Once again, Congratulations!

Matt 12:47-50. Mary can't hear your prayers coz the dead can't hear the living
Dear Friend, there is a wide gulf between your thesis of argument and what is written in Matt. 12: 47-50. In the said passage, Jesus expanded the scope of His earthly family to include everyone who listens to His teaching and does the will of His Father in heaven, and not solely His mother, Mary and his disciples. Therefore, I suggest a little more research on your part concerning this issue.

When I hear stories like this I feel so sad, as a woman GOd blessed you with a man who loves,cares, provide and adores you as his wife and partner but instead of making him happy and appreciating his efforts you choose to cheat.is it boredom or idleness? And am here taking responsibility of my kids (not easy)alone because the man refused to be responsible and prefers to be violent instead.

Op move on with your life .u will be fine as time goes on. If I say forgive and forget then am being sentimental. The memories will kip playing in ur head and you will lose interest and gradually you will see her as a house material not a wife.

You will get over it with time. It doesn't mean all women are cheats. It's only unfortunate most people end up with wrong spouses. It is well
I have gone through all comments on this heartrending and tragic tale and agrees perfectly with all your positions -- including your articluted reprimand of female members that support cheating. Nevertheless, I see a woman in pain, who wishes for a better world, and who believes fate wasn't fair to her. Indeed, it is well, even in well.

okay but she has no chapter in the Bible? Hv u asked urself why!! Well that’s a story for another day..Praying to Mary is no issue to me but building an image of her is sinful.
Your middle-of-the-road opinion on Catholics' stubborn reverence and honour to Mary is fascinating, and requires a comment. If truly you agree that praying to Mary as sanctioned by the Bible is appropriate, I wonder why you suddenly have issues with making a statue of the person to whom prayers are directed to. Note that the key word here is honour, not worship. We honour our parents as commanded by the Bible, but we don't worship them. So it is with Catholics and Mary. If you remember Jesus' first miracle at a wedding in Cana, then you will appreciate the immense intercessory powers of Mary.This is what millions of billions Catholics all over the world benefits from.

Princeofnigeria:
[s][/s] simple question show me any place in the Bible were the apostle pray to Mary
I have to reiterate that beneath the negative and hurtful comments directed towards Catholics and their faith are engendered by ignorance and an attempt to regurgitate highly popular but erroneous notions. I know it is difficult to completely dispel this myth. However, any opportunity to engage in robust and honest discussion that is aim to strengthen our understanding should be encouraged. The earlier we desist from my-church-is-better-than-your attitude, the better for us. If you are conversant with your Bible, you will know the prayer Catholics pray to Mary was gotten from the visit of angel Gabriel. There is no woman honoured by God in the whole world like Mary; that is why a full chapter was devoted to her in the Quran. Someone whom the Bible says all "generation has call blessed" is truly blessed, and deserved to be honoured as Catholics do today. So beloved, if you have not start calling Mary blessed note that you have biblical injunction to do so.

Feminist wannabe decided to bring the thread to family section where single mothers, divorcees, unmarried aged women and frustrated old hags will applaud her. You initially created it on romance section but couldn't stand the heat, then you ran to meet your fellow feminist wannabes here grin

HOW ABOUT THE LOGICS BELOW.

If I slap my boyfriend, he's expected to walk away as a gentle man, but if he lay his hands on me, he's a woman beater.

If he makes advances on me at his place, he lacks self-control. But if he snubs me, he's either a gay, impotent or not man enough.

When a woman makes sexual advances on a man, she's trying to seduce him. But when a man does the same, he's a rapist.

Lady; I want a rich God fearing yahoo guy that is caring, respectful and gentle.
Rich Guy; What will you offer me apart from sex.
Lady; I will wash plate for you, sweep the house and pray for you.
Me; Argh! Wetin are happening? You be maid?

A lady will wake up and decide to start olosho/Ashawo business, and then console her cheap self that she's a prostitute because men are demanding for it, so she's supplying.

Me; Hanty Udonminit! Demand and supply indeed. What stopped you from starting fufu business to show how hardworking you are, abi men node demand that one.
It is unfathomable to me why your nicely written post that was clearly a response to the endless and needless gender warfare in Nairaland was avoided like a plague. Perhaps it was imbued with messages that shattered their comfort zone, and concurrently tasked them to be responsive and responsible. Or is that the degree of veracity it contains make a reply unattractive? My stance or take, however, remains that all genders should be the captain of their soul; the era of buck passing is in the far forgotten past.

I understand her reasons... she must have tasted what it is to be religious and be kingdom minded. she don't want a cold kinda faith in her approach to supremacy. Catholicism is not what she wants... coz she has attain a level of spirituality that she has known the attributes and fundamentals of serving God. Catholic is an orthodox church which still believe in dieties and mediatorships... in marriage spirituality matters most.
When bigotry is wedded to ignorance the inevitable consequence is the product of your baseless diatribe. Again, your lame and dismal description of Catholic Church shows you don't possess the faintest idea of what church teaches. Yes, Catholic Church has a different style of worship which unfortunately irks many pentecostals, and actuates them to make unguarded and unfounded comments about what they barely understand. In the Catholic Church, Jesus is the chief cornerstone and the symbol of highest veneration. Take it from me, we worship Jesus and Jesus alone. You merely joined the bandwagon that traffics ignorance and hatred. A lady you purportedly invested with the claim of "high spiritually" has been in relationship four year which involves sexual intercourse, yet she has "higher spiritual" rating because she worships in a different church, other than Catholic Church. Don't mistake noisemaking and shouting as the only prerequisite for knowing a true Christian and effective means of evangelization. Jesus didn't use these methods during His earthly mission. We have very few orthodox churches today with an unremitting mushrooming of pentecostal churches that claim to possess the ideal way to make heaven, yet we are inundated with societal ills of epic proportions, some of which are perpetrated in churches. If Pentecostalism is the answer as you erroneously claim, salvation gospel which was ordained by Christ and not prosperity gospel, will be their fundamental doctrine. In all this needless fanaticism, I believe that my faith in Christ Jesus, accompany with my good deeds are the only valid visa to secure heaven. Thank you.

Firstly, i will ignore the cheeky comment.

Whether relative or inlaw, i do not subscribe to people sending off their children especially underage for other people to look after them. The parents are trying to shift responsibility to someone else who has her own responsibility.

And when it is an inlaw, it is more complicated because she will be put in a difficult position.

Op has a right to refuse. Taking in another person's child should be a choice and not something that should be imposed on her because someone somewhere feels entitled.
I called you an "attorney" because of the unassailable manner you presented your case, something obviously lacking in the Op's emotion-laden categorisation. If the Op had done this way, we won't ever get to this point.

Calm down na!!

The owners of the child are responsible for their child and are in the best position to care for her but instead they have decided to keep having kids that they cannot take care off and trying to inconvenience someone else all in the name of helping.

OP should make arrangements with her hubby to pay school fees directly to the school for the girl while she stays with her parents.

When they share the children they have reared, they will make more babies since they can easily look for who to burden and send the children to for care taking.
The job of attorney perfectly fits you very well. Someone asked the Op a question that emanated from her unguarded and needless comments, which she couldn't answer: that if the table is reserved, would hold such opinion about her relatives that are surviving? Nobody has the power to force her to do what she doesn't want, but we should be alert when implausible narrative is employed to justify what is wrong. I am being caution to "calm down" while your vindicating defence ignores the stereotype which compels the Op to profile her husband's relatives she barely knows. I am not surprised you fail to mildly chastise the Op, while pointing out many options available to Op. Maybe it is one of the ways of defending the womenfolk.

Hi ma'am you misunderstood my thread. I only mentioned maltreatment because that is what people especially in laws will call it if they find out she is the one helping with chores and also baby sitting my baby even if she is going to school in my house. Please stop pretending not to know exactly how people talk or behave. Besides, I also have a sibling same age range the difference is that one of her parent is late but I preferred to send them money once in a while cos I don't want same ish too.
I find it shocking and unbelievable that the mother of a two months old baby has perfected a plan on how to maltreat and frustrate the daughter of another woman. Call it whatever you like, you are guilty of premeditated violence, and what you need to get to work is the arrival of the girl. Someone asked whether you would have hold such baleful and crude notions about the girl and her family if they are your relatives?

I can emphatically tell you that she is not into you. The 'I love you' you are getting from her is an automatic and unthinking response to keep you faithfully orbiting around her, massaging her ego while she has fun with boys that interest her. Furthermore, the fact that you have pronounced love so quick is unmasculine, unmysterious, makes you predictable, and that will high-likely kill any potential feelings she might develop. Also, that you live in a different state doesn't encourage for the flourishment of a healthy relationship.

The best you can do is to move on, yes, MOVE ON. Romantic feelings are something that is very hard to suppress. If she desires you, she will strike communication. She will be concerned about why she has lost value in your eyes, and why you ignored her. Giving her time like other said is consolatory, it's like waiting for an apple tree to produce orange, it doesn't work that way. In fact, your patience will further evidence your low value as a man with fewer options, and women instinctively do not want such men. The feeling of unrequited love is hard to bear, I know, but that is what it is. Learn from it, and get better at your game next time.

Sorry for being the carrier of bad news.
Is "high-likely" a new word; or the product of your grammar wizardry?

That's both true and untrue. As a phrasal verb, it means to say something in order to obtain an answer or some information. But as a mere verb and a preposition, it means to enquire because of someone else. Remember that "for" also means "because of" and/or "on behalf of" someone else.
There is no contention on how to use the preposition "for" in English language. And, the information you provided did not state that "asking for" has another meaning than the one we are aware of. The phrase "I am asking for a friend" has only one meaning in English language.

The phrase "ask/asking for" has an entirely unrelated meaning as used by you and the Op. I am surprised you were unable to detect the solecism. When the Op wrote she is "asking for" a friend, she meant her enquiring is on behalf of a friend. But that is a gross misuse of the phrase. If you ask/asking for a friend, it means you want to speak to them, not to embark on enquiry for their sake.

Smiles lemme say this , if your argument makes sense? definitely I will step down and accept u are right. And alot of people online here are either fake, bullies or vile in expressing themselves, which is appalling.

Only few people like yourself and some few gentle men and ladies I have interacted with online, think and talk sensibly. The rest are bunch of headaches. cheesy

Then, with the way the country is, values, morals, ethics are thrown away, While people, I mean a whole lot of people in nigeria worship money and worship the rich in quote. Most don't care about character or values. Same goes with relationships, these days. The girl is not working or she's not financially comfortable to an extent, guys will not take her serious.. Likewise a guy too. If he's broke without a job, trust me most ladies will look the other way. They won't come close.

Anyways it's good to know u are Naija based , nice mentality.. I hope u will practice it in real life smiley
The last paragraph of your properly articulated and brilliantly delivered post proves my hitherto hunch correct. Nonetheless, it will be unfair to disagree with the points you listed: about the decadence of moral in our society, fictitious and falsified character, bully inclination of many members here -- from both guys and ladies --, the ungodly materialistic assessment of human worth, etc. You made reference to money worship as a depiction of moral bankruptcy in Nigeria. This is correct and factual. What I can say is that money worship is the pass time of the black man, even though he has repeatedly proven incapable of instituting the structures that will ensure adequate and unfettered flow of wealth, like the white man. The white man began this journey decades ago, used every continent of the world to advance his quest including Africa, but at a point the futility of the exercise became apparent and human values and dignity was substituted with quest for making wealth. Nevertheless, a large percentage of the western world still suffer racism, and the reason, in my view, is that development and civilisation which are products of highly refined culture have eluded the black man. About practising what I have preached, I can say without fear of contradiction that the 'sermon' on Nairaland wasn't spurred by deceit or necessitated by devious intention. Having said that, however, I am the most imperfect being you can ever think of; so it is entirely inappropriate to lay claim a sainthood. This conversation is becoming refreshingly robust and intellectually fascinating.
