Please I won't want us to start insulting ourselves just to drive home our points, everyone is entitled to his/her opinions and will also want everyone to know that if wishes were horse beggars would ride. Not everybody that went for NCE wishes not go to the university,to some it was financial constraint not because they are not brilliant so coming here to rubbish a certificate just because you are opportuned to attend a university doesn't make you more intelligent or brilliant than someone who wasn't opportuned.

Evathyst:
And what's so special about NCE that one cannot place it side by side with SSCE?


Or is it not the NCE that they use Essential Chemistry, Essential biology textbooks, etc to teach them? Most NCE students I've met are bunch of University-wannabes... The case of NCE holders is analogous to Govt sch teachers that are professionally qualified to teach, but academically, many of them are not in tuned with modernity...


But Bsc holders, just show them the format of that 'yeye' lesson note, they will teach your students beyond your imagination because the stuff is there.


If you're talking of graduates, abeg, never ever mention NCE holders o jere.

I nominate this thread for critical review, is it poverty that define the best about Yoruba ni? Try find out more, OP. Don't insult Yoruba people's intelligence in a childish way.

scholes0:
I don't know, but I think you may have used the wrong word to describe the Igbo hustling trait, but I would term it Survuval or Business Hardiness rather than Hardwork. That you travel for business does not make you the only hardworking person around.... there are hardworking Farmers, civil servants, Craftsmen (Carpenters, plumbers, constructors, Panel beaters, fashion designers, photographers, Web designers Etc), Office workers and so forth around.
you get the drift?
On a personal level, I just dislike all these stereotypic threads that aims to tag particular traits to entire ethnic group that number in the Millions.
Who said Hausas or Igbos cant be good child raisers, or that an Igbo or Yoruba person can't be trusted, or that a Yoruba or Hausa man can't be Industrious?. People differ the most on an individual level.
My 2 cents sha.

MrOlai:
IBOS

Hardwork: Honestly speaking, Ibos are generally hardworking. They are highly industrious. They put in their very best to ensure that they excel in their businesses. They work diligently to earn means of livelihood to feed themselves and their families. They are not lazy. One can hardly find any of them begging.

A colleague of mine was coming from United Arab Emirate to Nigeria in a plane. He was a student. According to him, in that plane of about 150 passengers, over one hundred of them were Ibos on business trip!

I served in a village in Kaduna North very close to Funtua in Katsina some years back. In that village, there was no electricity, no pipe-borne water; no telecommunication. The village was a country on its own out of Nigeria. There was an Ibo man living in that village who supplies the entire villagers with household needs. He owns a big supermarket in the village and sells different things for the villagers. He normally buys the items from the South and takes them down to the village to sell. He lives in the village with his wife and kids. He only travels to his home town in the East during festive periods e.g Christmas and when the need arises. He did not even fear for his life being the only Ibo in the whole village! I really appreciate the man.

Summarily, Ibos are generally highly industrious and hardworking people. To our Ibo brothers and sisters, I say kudos to you all!


HAUSAS

Trust: Hausa are generally trustworthy. If an average Hausa man tells you 'Good morning', then, you should know the period of the day is actually morning. Hausas are like pigeons which stay with the house owner till death. This attribute of Hausas is indeed worthy of emulation.


YORUBAS

Child's Upbringing: When it comes to the issue of training children with ethics and moral uprightness, Yorubas are fore runners, even before the advent of missionaries. Even in adversity! A typical poor Yoruba parent with only garri and groundnut would teach his/her children to be contented and be morally upright with the garri and groundnut. This attribute is also worthy of emulation.


As a nation, we should try to emulate and emphasise the good sides of one another rather than attacking one another and being tribalistic. This would go a long way in strengthening our unity in diversity.


Feel free to add yours.

Ooooh i see so you're even Shi'ee.Allaahu musta'aan.Why am i even wasting my time sef no wonder you were getting insultive because you couldn't refute me.Goodbye Sir

Aareonakakanfo:
Just a random question are you shi"ee?

MrOlai:
Big lie! Taqiya!
Shia rain curses on the first three Caliphs Abubakr, Umar and Uthman (R.A) on their ziyarat-ul- ashura every year!

AlBaqir:
Anyhow on Shahaba-cursing, justice is done here while false taught and thought are put to dust:

We don't need to derail please. Thanks sir.

Truthpallbearer:
The shias and khawarij are two sides of a coin- offspring of Abdullahi ibn Saba al-Yahoodi al-salool.

Truthpallbearer:
The shias are not Muslims as their creed is built on imamate and they consider their Imams to be infallible , seeking aid from the grave, seeking protection from their awliyas and other forms of shirk. Do not be deceived by their outward display of pity and love.

joseph310588:
just to corroborate your points , o ye learned fellows, the pythagoras theorem is only but a modification of the cosine rule where the reference angle of the triangle whose solution is sought for using the cosine rule is 90 degrees. Hence the peculiar solution: pythagors theorem which can be readily applied to solving for a side of any triangle,given d oda 2 sides, that has 1 of itz angle equal to 90 degrees I.e. A right angle triangle instead of going through the seemingly long cosine rule process. In summary, pythagoras theorem is the cosine rule form or translation for right angle triangles. With these few words of mine, I hope I av bin able to confuse n not convince u that.......... Lolz

STENON:
That was the first questn on that day, and I was like *wtf* I came for Physics interview na...*smiles* My response was :
Thank you sir, Pythagora's theorem is only applicable to angle 90 degree, and anything Greater than or less than 90 degree makes Pythagora's theorem to be invalid.
*The interviewers were amazed, Looked at each other's face and the oga patapata asked for the name of the secondary school that I finished from*

STENON:
Woooow!
when is pythagora's theorem said to be invalid

ucheuzor1:
Why are we failing this simple question my fellow nairalanders including those in higher institution...pls for clarity sake, the answer is 6.from bodmas, u do ur multiplication b4 addition and finally subtraction..
from the given equation,
3+(3*3)-(3+3)= (3+9)-(6)
=12-6=6

Thank you so very much, may God bless you.

Jazakallahu khayr. Really grateful

MrOlai:
1. You can teach in pry or sec school.

2. You can lecture in university.

3. You can work with embassies.

4. You can work with telecom companies e.g MTN, Etisalat, etc.

5. You can work with broadcasting companies e.g VOA, etc

6. You can work in a bank.

7. You can work in Aviation Industry.

8. In fact, you can work in virtually all companies now.... Gone are those days when somebody would read a course and would be told he/she cannot work somewhere.

Companies have what is referred to as psychometric tests now. They administer the tests to graduates from all disciplines be it Sciences, Engineerings, Arts, Languages, etc, just to determine the levels of IQ of applicants to see the extent to which they can perform on duties.

The general belief is that a graduate should be able to handle every duty with little training. This is why you would see the graduates of Yoruba, Agric. Engin, Biology, Education, Physics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Medicine, Islamic Studies, etc in banks!


I hope this answers your question.

abdulmii:
Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.
I would like if anyone could help with information as regards to kinds of job a person with a bachelors degree and above in Islamic and Arabic Studies can do in Nigeria. I need your suggestions please.
Jazakumullah khayr

May Allah reward u for the info! I pray He grants us with pious children. @ononoplanet,I hope @mrolai post will be of use. I wish u all d best
