The first Yoruba language scriptwriter/author to have his book published was D.O Fagunwa
I think he attended either Christ School AdoEkiti or Ondo Boys High School Ondo...Not so sure
The very first set of secondary schools in Nigeria were established by missionaries... especially Anglican (church of England), Baptist, Roman Catholics etc so it's not out of place that Lagos through which they brought religion and education got the highest 'popular' names.
When the Portuguese came earlier, to Benin, opobo nd South south areas, they didn't introduce education and even religion was secondary. Slave business and merchandising was primary.
ovokate: Christ school Ado-Ekiti established in 1933. Notable alumnis include; Ladipo Adamolekun,former dean of the Faculty of Administration at O.A.U and was a lead public sector management specialist at World Bank. Robert Adeyinka Adebayo, first indigenous chief of staff of the Nigerian Army. Tolu Olukayode Odugbemi, former V.C of the University of Lagos. Ireti Doyle, Nigerian Actress. Oludamola Osayomi, Nigerian Sprinter and gold medalist. Olusegun Olutoyin Aganga, former Nigerian minister of industry, trade and investment. Kayode Fayemi, former Governor of Ekiti state. And so on..
Thank you for this!
I just opened the thread, read the OP list and replied on impulse... Didn't know someone already mentioned Christ School.
Opinionated: It is generally believed that Nigeria’s education system currently thrives on past glory and that the ‘good ol’ days’ are light years behind. While this belief may not be totally out of place it could be refreshing to know that things have not always been this bad. In spite of the steady but certain decline, some of the older institutions still enjoy the benefits of the reputation they have earned over time and are still held in high esteem till date.
The list below is a profile of seven of Nigeria’s most popular and prominent public secondary schools as a means of remembering the good old days. The schools are mentioned in no particular order and the list should not be taken as a ‘best of schools’ list.
Happy reading…
Barewa College, Zaria
The present day Barewa College was established in 1921 by then Governor General, Hugh Clifford as Katsina College. Prior to 1949, when it was moved to the more central location of Zaria with the name Government College, Zaria, it was situated in Katsina. In 1971, the present name, Barewa College was adopted. The name, Barewa was meant to symbolize the swiftness and smartness of the gazelle (Barewa being the Hausa word for Gazelle) and as a kind of rebirth of the visions of the school’s founders.
Barewa College has an unmatched record: it is the only institution in to have produced five Nigerian Heads of States/Presidents; Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Muhammed, Shehu Usman Shagari and Umaru Yar’ Adua. Other notable alumni include Professor Jibril Aminu (Professor of Cardiology, Diplomat and Politician), Nasir El-Rufai, Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar III and the legendary Umaru Dikko of the famed ‘Dikko Affair’.
Government College, Umuahia (GCU)
This is another old star founded in 1927 by the British as one of a select group of schools modelled after the traditions of popular British schools, Eton College and Harrow School. It was known as the ‘Eton of the East’, due to its geographical location (in Nigeria’s east) and its extremely high standards. The school officially started in 1929 with 25 students as a Teacher Training Institute before converting to a Secondary School a year later. For three years during WW2, it was closed down and used as a POW camp where captured axis forces officers were detained. It was also closed down for the duration of the Nigerian Civil War.
GCU boasts of notable alumni such as Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Jaja Wachukwu, Prof Laz Ekwueme, the legendary Chinua Achebe and his childhood friend and poet, Christopher Okigbo, Chukwuemeka Ike, Elechi Amadi, Gabriel Okara and more.
Government College, Ibadan (GCI)
GCI started same time as GCU in 1929 with 29 students and was established for basically the same reasons of scholarship and under the same circumstances. It is located in the hillside Apata axis of Ibadan. Like many other schools of that era, GCI was disrupted by WW2 and had to move base several times before resettling. Over the decades, it was revered among schools in Nigeria for its high academic standards and extracurricular feats. The school has an enviable pool of notable alumni to prove this. They include Dr Christopher Kolade (Former Ambassador to the UK), TM Aluko (Author and scholar), Cyprian Ekwensi (Author) and the first African Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka.
Christ the King College, Onitsha (CKC)
CKC was at one time ranked No. 1 and 36 as best secondary school in Nigeria and Africa, respectively. The school was started in 1933 by Irish Catholic Missionaries based in Onitsha, present day Anambra State, as an all-boys secondary school. Between 1973 and 2009, it was owned by the State Government. Today, however, the present day CKC has gone back to where it belonged, to the ownership of the Catholic Mission. The school suffered an identity crisis between 1973 and 1976, after its name was changed to Heerey High School in honour of its founder. The original name was however restored in 1976.
The school, like most others suffered greatly during the civil was as most of its infrastructure was destroyed. Notable CKC Alumni include; Late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, Pius Okigbo (renowned economist and older brother to Christopher Okigbo), Prof. Patrick Utomi and Peter Obi.
Queens College, Lagos (QC)
Much of the credit for the establishment of QC in 1927 must go to the New Era Ladies Club, a group of enlightened women who were passionate about standard education for girls similar to what obtained at Kings College. QC started as Government Secondary School for Girls until 1928 when the present name was adopted. The school started at Force Road, near Race course (present day Tafawa Balewa Square-TBS) with 20 students, before moving to its present location of Yaba in 1958.
Notable QC Alumni include Professor Grace Alele-Williams (first female VC of a University in Nigeria), Prisca Soares (MD NICON), Suzanne Iroche (Veteran Banker and former CEO the now defunct FinBank Plc).
Kings College (KC)
KC is arguably the most popular secondary school in Nigeria, probably due to its classy name, history, alumni strength or a combination of all. KC was established by an act of the British Parliament in 1909 as Kings School, and had Mr. Lomax as its pioneer principal. Among other things, KC was also meant to prepare students for the Matriculation Examination of the University of London.
Kings College is located on Catholic Mission Street, Lagos, close to the TBS. Due to population and space constraints, the present day Kings College has an additional campus for the two highest classes (SSS 2 and 3) in Victoria Island.
KC’s has an enviable list of notale alumni in different spheres of life. In public service; Anthony Enahoro, Alex Ekwueme, Adetokunbo Ademola, Ibrahim Gambari (Diplomat, former UN Permanent Representative), Claude Ake, Odumegwu Ojukwu, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Oba Adeyinka Oyekan. In Business; Hakeem Belo-Osagie, Udoma Udo Udoma, In Entertainment; Wale Adenuga, Audu Maikori, Cobhams Asuquo amongst many others.
CMS Grammar School (CMS)
The CMS holds the undisputed record of being the oldest secondary school in Nigeria. It was started in 1859 by Babington MacAulay, with financial backing from the CMS Training Institute, Islington, UK. Babington was a Nigerian picked from the Fourah Bay College and sponsored to England to train as an Anglican Priest. After his return, he proposed successfully to Henry Townsend, the Superintending Anglican Missionary at that time, to start a high school in Lagos instead of being transferred to join one in Sierra Leone. In 1859, Babington started the CMS Grammar School with 6 students and four rooms at ‘Cotton House’ on Broad Street. He served as principal until his death in 1879. CMS is today located in Bariga, a suburb of Lagos.
Among CMS’s notable alumni are, Herbert Macaulay (son to the founder), Odumegwu Ojukwu (later transferred to Kings College), Otunba TOS Benson, Ernest Shonekan, Akintola Williams (distinguished chartered accountant) and brother, Frederick Rotimi Alade (FRA) Williams (Legal luminary), Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti (Yes, Fela’s Father), Musicians Dare Art Alade and the ‘Gongo Aso’ master, ‘Nice’
OP the author of that link should know the list is NOT exhaustive. A lot of school have produced numerous notable persons at one point or the other. Apparently it's a function of how versatile the author is.
E.g
Christ School Ado Ekiti.
Ondo Boys High School Ondo Established in 1919
Ilesa Grammar School 1940s (Pastor Adeboye, Late justice Kayode ESO, Belgore and all...)
Oduduwa College Ile Ife 1930 (not sure)
Aquinas College Akure
Queens School Ede (NOT QC Lagos ) produced first female Professor of Mathematics and Vice Chancellor Grace Alele-Williams
Titcombe College Egbe Kogi State
St Andrews College Oyo
Abeokuta Baptist Boys High (Obasanjo baba iyabo and dem Ogun folks)
Baptist High School Ogbomoso
Baptist High School Iwo
Ibadan Grammar School (formerly Boys only)
Osogbo Grammar School (formerly Boys only) the concept of CBT exam centre was first introduced by one Aladekomo the prime face of CHAMS...
lucrownt: I use a java phone, OP kindly transcript and summarize it.. If only the Nigerian Law recognizes the rich... A biased rule of law where the rich gets exonerated...
My dad always refer to one of his lectures as an undergraduate back in UI in those days.
He said one of the textbook definition of Justice says this : Justice is the wish of the stronger!
Heavance: You can imagine what they are comparing.... Jesus lived in what year? and this person seem to use that as an excuse, mehn, this is disgraceful.
Don't mind them, besides Jesus was not called "Rabbi" just for fun.
He was full of understanding and his knowledge can only be described in superlative terms. The Pharisees and Saducees alike were awed at his depth of wisdom.
He was teaching them deep things and rightly dividing the Mosaic law with impeccable aptitude even as a youngster.
Lol, The baby is not fat at all... Every baby (about 75-90%) have prominent cheeks known in medical parlance as "Buccal Fat Pad". Of course other factors will contribute to the bigness or smallness of a particular baby as the case may apply especially genetic factors.
Anyone who has seen Seyilaw will know even as an adult, his cheeks are very pronounced- the baby certainly got that from him.
Samunique: As sad and tragic as this event may be we must point the fingers at the right places and place the blame for the conflagration where it belongs. Many have failed in this respect. For example instead of blaming the aggressors for the crisis and the carnage and warning them to stop killing our people and raping and beating our women, Governor RAUF AREGBESOLA has been shamelessly begging the Hausa Fulani and saying such an attack will never take place again.
Indeed Islamic fanatism has killed Gov Aregbesola sense of reasoning.
Gov Kwankwaso came all the way from north to speak for his people, but the bigoted host Governor shamelessly cannot speak for his people that were molested and beheaded before the retaliation.
Shame on him and his likes on this forum !!!
When we said Aregbesola is NOT a bona fide citizen of Osun State and is their (APC) Islamic pawn in the South West, people here were too beclouded to see the truth. Aregbesola is originally a descent of Kogi a hence his standoffish demeanor to the crisis.
Aregbesola had been turbaned in Kwankwaso's State early in his first tenure. He's pro islamization and Kwankwasos protege in that regard.
ayindejimmy: GET your facts right. He didn't pay " all workers half salary"
He paid from level 8 above half salary because people from the level earn 6 figures. From level 7 down were paid full salaries.
And he's not the only governor that did it... But he's not owing. So why are others still owing?
You post-jamb generation should learn how to research well before verbalizing your ignorant tendencies to people.
Your post reveal that you don't even know there's NO single State in Nigeria whose GL8 salary scale is in 6 figures. I'll be modest about this but you should know that except for few disciplines (Health and Allied)with special salary structure, a state worker in level 12 maynot even earn salary that is over 99,999:99.
Yes, that is how poor the Nigerian remuneration system is.
@bolded, pls show me a governor that started owing 50%Salaries since July 2015. Since you said he's not owing, you can as well check the meaning of 'arrears'.
Get your facts right too and don't display half-witted education.
bsonenterprise: I used to despise aregbe it appears he's vindicated. Despite the recession baba hafusa cleared almost his entire debts. I wonder what this guy would have accomplished if not for the downturn.
Firstly, APC twitter handle shaming APC governors definitely imply someone is fiddling with people's intelligence and from your reaction to the post, apparently the info achieved it's objective already.
Senior staffs of GL 08-GL10 collected 50% salary for 14months since July 2015-September 2016 when he upgraded to 75% salary I.e 7months full salary arrears PLUS 25% salary arrears of 5months which is 2.25full months salary arrears
Totalling 9.25 months salary arrears for GL8-10
Senior Staffs GL12-GL17 have been collecting 50% for twenty one months since July 2015 till Date I.e 10.5 full months salary.
GL01 to GL07 = 1month arrears GL08 to GL10 = 9¼ months arrears GL12 to GL17 = 10½ months arrears
There is a saying that the greatest lie is the one closest to the truth which actually is not the truth itself.
What that pic reported is partial truth of the situation in Osun. And that analysis I gave does not even include Lautech staffs who are owed several months of salaries and various allowances.
freeze001: That's a lie! His name was forwarded to the Senate 3-4 days to the end of the 3 months of his acting as CJN ie on the 7th of February 2017 and at this time the Senate was on recess. Buhari departed Nigeria on the 19th of January so no, the name was not submitted on the night he left neither was it at his instruction or his intention to do so else he had all the time from November 2016 when the former CJN retired. Note that he had already supposedly requested an indefinite extension of medical tourism/vacation at this time.
Buhari is known for flouting the law or pushing it to its limits and his parochial tribal and ethnic bigotry is not in doubt so u people should stop this pre-election whitewashing that landed us in the mess we're in today! Too many lies and 'alternative facts'! PMB and PYO may have been on a joint ticket but they are as different as day and night! One is an aged despot and ethnic/religious bigot while the other is an intelligent, educated gentleman who is still being observed before full evaluation of his character and mindset can be established. http://saharareporters.com/2017/02/08/acting-president-osinbajo-sends-onnoghens-name-senate-cjn-confirmation
Seems you're the only objective person I have seen comment on this CJN issue. Nice post.

butterfly88: Although this branch of physics is a vast ocean,will want to contribute a drop into it hoping it will enlighten readers and lovers of physics
Want to be brief as possible so lemme start quick intro In the early twentieth century sometimes around 1925 a new theory burst into existence. With dizzying, almost meteoric speed, this theory overthrew long-cherished notions about matter that had been held since the time of the Greeks. Almost effortlessly, it vanquished scores of long-standing fundamental problems that had stumped physicists for centuries. What is matter made of? What holds it together? Why does it come in an infinite variety of forms, such as gases, metals, rocks, liquids, crystals, ceramics, glasses, lightning bolts, stars, and so on?
The new theory was christened quantum mechanics, and gave us the first comprehensive formulation with which to pry open the secrets of the atom. The subatomic world, once a forbidden realm for physicists, now began to spill its secrets into the open.
To understand the speed with which this revolution demolished its rivals, we note that in the early 1920s some scientists still held serious reservations about the existence of "atoms." What couldn't be seen or measured directly in the laboratory, they scoffed, didn't exist. But by 1925 and 1926, Erwin Schrodinger, Werner Heisenberg, and max born had been developed an almost complete mathematical description of the hydrogen atom. With devastating precision, they could now explain nearly all the properties of the hydrogen atom from pure mathematics. By 1930, quantum physicists such as Paul A. M. Dirac were declaring that all of chemistry could be derived from first principles. They even made the brash claim that, given enough time on a calculating machine, they could predict all the chemical properties of matter found in the universe. To them, chemistry would no longer be a fundamental science. From now on, it would be "applied physics"
Fairly rapidly, quantum theory began to give us a comprehensive framework in which to describe the visible universe: The material universe consists of atoms and its constituents. There are about 100 different types of atoms, or elements, out of which we can build all the known forms of matter found on earth and even in outer space. Atoms, in turn, consist of electrons orbiting around nuclei, which in turn are composed of neutrons and protons. In essence, the key differences concepts of quantum theory can now be summarized as follows------**
Oops before that let's give a formal definition of quantum physics
what us quantum physics? Simply put it is the description of the behaviour of matter and light on an atomic scale(smale scale)---hence the difference between quantum physics and Einstein's relativity
now the key concepts of quantum physicd 1-Forces are created by the exchange of discrete packets of energy, called quanta--meaning ?
In quantum theory light was to be chopped up into tiny pieces. These packets of light were named photons, and they behave very much like point particles. When two electrons bump into each other, they repel each other not because of the curvature of space, but because they exchange a packet of energy, the photon. The energy of these photon measured in units of something called Planck's constant (6.626 x10*34js) The almost infinitesimal size of Planck's constant means that quantum theory gives tiny corrections to Newton's laws. These are called quantum corrections, and can be neglected when describing our familiar, macroscopic world. That is why we can, for the most part, forget about quantum theory when describing everyday phenomena. However, when dealing with the microscopic sub-atomic world these quantum corrections begin to dominate any physical process, accounting for the bizarre, counterintuitive properties of subatomic particles
2Different forces are caused by the exchange of different quanta.
Lemme explain--we have the weak the strong the electromagnetic and gravitation force,and the 2nd theory is trying to explain how this forces are caused. Now this is how they are caused
- weak force, is caused by the exchange of a different type of quantum, called a W particle (W stands for "weak" the strong force holding the protons and neutrons together within the nucleus of the atom is caused by the exchange of subatomic particles called pi mesons
Both W bosons and pi mesons have been seen experimentally in the debris of atom smashers, thereby verifying the fundamental correctness of this approach. And finally, the subnuclear force holding the protons and neutrons and even the pi mesons together are called gluons
In this way, we have a new "unifying principle" for the laws of physics. We can unite the laws of electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force by postulating a variety of different quanta that mediate them. Three of the four forces (excluding gravity) are therefore united by quantum theory
OK let's take a short break,,hunger is knocking 3rd and 4th theory on their way..
That this topic made FP shows nairaland is becoming saner and shows there's hope for Nigeria...However infinitesimal it seems.
It's good to refresh the mind once again...#OctetOfBaryons...#OctetOfMesons...
I love Quantum Fiziks. I rep Electrical Engineering.
adoyi8: I still remember the first time I said in my mind that there may be no god. Fear griped me, I was expecting the ground to open and swallow me like the story of korah in the bible. That was six years ago.
As a result of my indoctrination into Christianity, I used to have this fear of not involving god in everything I do; I pray before I sleep because I fear that if I don’t pray before sleeping, I will have nightmares or may not even wake up. When sick, I pray before taking drugs because I feared that the drugs may not work without prayers. I pray before eating to remove poison (Nigerian movies actually caused this fear) and because I feared that if I don’t thank god for this meal he may get angry and deny me my next meal. I pray before travelling, taking exams etc.
To be honest, since I became an atheist, some unfortunate things have happened to me but it is very easy to look beside me and see a devoted Christian suffering worse.
Bad things have happened to me as an atheist yet good things also happened some of which are; I wrote JAMB and passed without prayers, I got admitted into the university without prayers, I have been travelling to and fro school and been arriving safely without prayers, I have graduated from the University with flying colors having taking all my exams without prayers
The highlight of my testimony is that I won a scholarship in 2014 (NNPC/Chevron JV scholarship) and was paid 100,000 naira thrice for the scholarship.
The manner in which I won the scholarship fits exactly into what a Christian might call a miracle. One of which was the fact that I was devastated after taking the test because I didn’t finish answering the test questions before I was forcefully logged out.
To make the story even more interesting, I applied for the scholarship with six of my other course mates some of them knew my stance on religion and I was the only one that got the scholarship.
The message I want to pass is that as a human being, you can get lucky sometimes and be unlucky other times (most accident victims prayed before their journey). You don’t get favored because you are a Christian, Muslim or an atheist. In fact if there is a god, he doesn’t care about your prayers.
I am an atheist graduate waiting to be mobilized for NYSC and I hope to share more testimonies with you.
Dear Youngman, you have only succeeded in telling us why you think 'religious' folks should stop their God 'delusion', you haven't proven beyond reasonable doubt that God doesn't exist.
You are only hating about how extreme your rigid religious orientations in the past got hold of you, and now that your sensibilities is being awakened you are even demonstrating extreme ignorance and flawedly excited about how sweet things can be even without praying.
I seldom pray before travelling but I have been preserved several times from accidents. It doesn't mean someone somewhere haven't prayed for my safety before.
I have had several disappointing instances about God, it doesn't mean God is not around. I have prayed for some other stuffs that didn't come to fruition. My time and chance as I grew more conscious revealed that most of those prayers (like 99.9%) if answered could have even made my life worse or cause retrogressing timelines... I'm not a religious person, I believe there's a God and I am not him (or her whatever form). I have had personal life encounters that have given me personal convictions that God definitely must be existing.
You maybe having unique testimonies now, so that your future story or testimonials about God existing can be really full and convincing...Maybe, maybe not.
You mentioned nice scenarios especially with the scholarship thing. The fact that those 'people' or 'Godful' people failed and ONLY YOU the 'Godless' dude was selected, (I'm even blindly taking the assumption that nobody, not a single soul has ever prayed for your overall success in life before), does NOT diminish the existence of God one bit. You are right about one thing God doesn't care about our prayers, as the prayers are for us not him. He doesn't need it! We do...
Like I said I'm not religious and I'm not an atheist either but it's too obvious your atheism tendencies are even fake.
Kindly read a book God's DebrisScott Adams
It's not a religious book. Basically philosophy and statistics. Kindly do a PM if you want.
Naijasinglegirl: I am not sorry I don’t live on the Island. And I don’t live on the mainland either. I live around the ‘extra lands’ off the mainland and when I tell people my location, toasters to be specific, they be like, “Too bad!” As if Ambode is not the governor in my area.
Boys are willing to do London/Lagos long distance relationships but cannot do common Ikorodu/Ikoyi relationships. No boy even wants to do Uber for you from your location to a first date meeting on the Island because the cost of a trip is God is Good Motors rate from Lagos to Abia. You mention where you are living to a prospective toaster and the next thing he says is, “The last time I visited there was 2002.” Oga who asked you?
A ‘toaster’ would mention an event/party that took place on the island and when you express your disappointment on why you were not invited, he’ll say, “But you are in town now.” Excuse me?
The worst of them are the ones that offer free lifts. You’d be minding your business at a bus stop on the Island, patiently waiting for an Oshodi bound vehicle so you can take a BRT from Oshodi to Agbado Ijaiye and later the 20 minutes okada ride from the bus stop at Agbado Ijaiye to your own Lagos when a guy in a camry would pull up and say, “Can I give you a ride home?” OGA DO YOU KNOW WHERE MY HOUSE IS?
Sometimes I mention where I am headed and the manner they zoom off is disrespectful. The time I was stupid enough to accept to be dropped along the way, I regretted. For some of the spoilt Island boys, along the way means the second curve along third mainland bridge or sometimes an unnamed location where you’d wait for a vehicle for one hour and have no choice but to start returning to the bus stop because your routes have been messed up.
Even people living in lbeju Lekki and Ajah outskirts are joining to discriminate mainland people with talks of, “The only thing that takes me to the mainland is the airport” Ko serious. At least I don’t have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, queue at four toll gates and pass eight roundabouts before I get home.
You know the most annoying part? The husband materials in these bush areas have refused to date their own. All their girlfriends are based on the Island. Issokay.
igidaduro: There are somethings i really don't understand. A friend needs an advice. The story goes:-
I met this lady 2 yrs ago or more she didn't say yes until last year September or so, i figure out that are supposed bf broke her h@,
So i was very careful and everything was fine then i discover she couldn't get over the guy so i asked her if she was going to leave me if the guy comes back Then she started crying (that was a yes for me) i pet her not to cry cos I can't withstand her tears i let her realise I care and want something serious that's why I ask. Later I discover she stop/reduce the time we see her attitude changed so i ask her and i got to know she is back with her ex. All this happened within 2 month. So i put myself together as i saw it coming i try to comfort her that I know it's not easy for her.she said she still want to be my friend which i didnt object.
Fast forward to late January she told me she want me to get a woman for mysef that she is getting married this month February, so as a good guy i kept my distance from Her i don't want to affect a relationship. Suddenly she started complaining that am avoiding her blah blah and have changed, this continued for days so I decided to visit her, one of the days I went to her place i tried to get close to her(just to know her motive, if that's what she wanted) she objected but she won't still stop chatting me.
Up till midnight and as early as 6 in the morning. Now i don't even know what she want. Abeg una ladies wetin this kain babe dey find ooo her wedding shud be 2 weeks from now
She enjoys your attention and a part of you likes the idea that she does.
Pls Starve her of the attention. If she complains you're drifting, tell her in affirmative that you're drifting. Don't explain yourself. Don't allow her to explain her 'goodness'...
When she started advising you to get a woman, she's playing niceties so as to pacify your ego.
If she's truly getting married, then give her a wide space and a long distance. Steer clear.
Doesn't seem bad tho, In most if not all Asian countries, they don't teach in English, and they are considered very smart. Even in some parts of Europe,
Pretty sure, when Pythagoras and co. were gisting maths, it wasn't in English , or daVinci, volta, Archimedes and co.
But English important shaaa, universal language, let no1 deceive ya.
PS: learning a foreign lingua good too o, all na determination shaa
English is even the Universal language for Science.(French, Latin, Spanish, German were all in contention)
Pope22: I read a post today where someone was advicing the youths not to marry someone who uses code to lock his or her phone to prevent his or her spouse from having an access to his or her messages, chats, etc.
He also believes that people who lock their phones with codes have something they hide from their spouse even though the spouse may know his or her phone unlock code. He further says we the youths should not marry someone who locks her phone with code. I believe that not all people who lock their phones with codes have something they hide from their spouse but I still want to hear your opinion..what's your reason for locking your phone with a code?
My reason for locking my phone is because it's MY phone.
Yayjay: What if God approves this second guy how do I cope with his way of speaking that's my only problem here. Thank u
This is the least of your worries...Diction? U must be kidding. As in Phone-tics
Your immediate concerns God Forbid should be what if he changes attitude after marriage....
God stopped approving since Adam/Eve... Pray and Watch, be wise, discern aright, don't fantasize (you already doing that for the new dude)
If u choose him...You can playfully become his language tutor...Love is the most powerful will mankind respond to, also the most powerful motivation for any action.
Alondra: Sometimes life plays a painful game on us. Always bringing things in halves,It is our choice to either settle for the halves or make them complete as a whole. Whichever your decision will be it must come from the heart so the result won't hurt. Follow your heart Ma.
I perceive you to be a very deep person and real too...your posts suggest philosophical tendencies. I may be wrong...
brokenplate: Hey bro who's here to compete how long we held the HR role? What happens when you request a Doc and get all PDFs ? If you want to be sincere what format are candidates most likely to send CVs and what format is mostly requested ?
Those who saw doc in advert instructions and sent in PDF are the culprits and deserve whatever consequences.... Whether deliberately or oversight or omissions...They disobeyed simple instructions. One major quality expected of a potential employee is obedience.
Apparently you assumed and concluded that they'd rather send in PDF than .doc so you rushed to WARN them based on a very unstable scenario.
You have created a topic by pre-empting what applicants would or wouldn't do even under specific instructions....to what end?
Worse-off you're defending your very flawed opinion. That is ignorance.
@femi4 Pls loud it!
femi4: Crap! Some recruiters do request for pdf format only.
Infact, in those days of looking for job.....some asked for your CV in excel format.
When it comes to job hunting, there are no permanent rules.
Truth234: Nigerian-born Adeniyi Adeyemi, the newly elected President-General of the World Youth Organisation, would on Monday assume duty at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by his spokesperson, Adeola Badru, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan.
NAN reports that the WYO is the youth organ of the United Nations Organisation.
Adeyemi, who would lead the affairs of youths across the globe for the next five years, would be received by diplomats, government officials, heads of missions as well as Civil Societies and NGOs
Adeyemi stated that his first assignment on assumption of office would be to seek the approval of the Security Council to appoint 967 nominees that would work with him across the globe.

“This will cater for incidence of injury, sickness, disability or death arising in the course of employment,” he said.

The new WYO President was a graduate of Agronomy from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso in Nigeria, and Accounting from the Western University of Ontario in Canada.
Adeyemi, a Chartered Accountant, was the former Accounting Officer to the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.
Harbdulrasaq: First Female Professor of Mathematics from the North West honored by Sultan of Sokoto
Prof Aishatu Abubakar, the first female professor of mathematics from the North Western region of Nigeria, Friday received an achievement award from the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'adu Abubakar.
Bravo...At least the north is gradually facing reality. It will take a long time though to catch up with the South that's if they even do catch up.
Considering the fact that Prof Grace Alele Williams became a professor of Mathematics some 41years ago...1976. The south is naturally way advanced than the north in terms of faculty. It's a pity we allow them to rule.
Yet some gullible folks wonder why Nigeria is not working. We are not supposed to be amalgamated together in the first place. The Union is fraudulent. Nigeria is a big Scam.
rottennaija: No wonder we are still in this mess of a country. Junk journalism from junk bloggers
The bloggers are just trying to make news out of any thing so long it drives traffic especially sure subjects like The president of Nigeria...Money is fundamental.
Nobody wish him dead but this is not the first time the C-in-c will die and be denied for days, even weeks. He's already following that path. Which president go for vacation in January especially when his home is boiling?
LONDON – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has died in a London Hospital where he was receiving medical care, the Nigerian Mission in UK has said. According to the information released by the Nigerian Embassy, Buhari left the West African country for a vacation in the U.K in order to undergo medical checks. One of the President's aides who accompanied him to the U.K and spoke on condition of anonymity said the President has been battling an "unknown disease" for a while now. Though the decision to receive medical care in a foreign land angered some of his countrymen, the Nigerian community in London have expressed deep shock for the President's demise. It is the second time in a year that Buhari has sought medical treatment outside Nigeria ; he also traveled to London in June 2016 and saw an ear, nose and throat specialist after contracting an ear infection. Buhari, who was elected in March 2015 in Nigeria's first democratic transfer of power, had previously promised to clamp down on so-called "health tourism", where government officials travel abroad for treatment rather than patronizing Nigerian doctors. In a speech in April 2016 to the Nigerian Medical Association, Buhari said the country lost around $1 billion to health tourism each year. The president added that he would discourage government officials from going elsewhere for treatment "especially when there is evidence of expertise in Nigeria." Buhari's own decision to travel abroad for medical treatment irked some Nigerians, particularly in light of the generous allocation given to the state house clinic, which treats government officials, including the president, in the country's 2016 budget. The office of the President is yet to issue an official statement on the President's demise.
UNIQUEISRAEL: If the biggest admin will permit, let's our dear Nigerians give/make suggestions on how we can have a better Nigeria.
We don't know who is reading!!!
Thanks
without gainsaying, We need revolution...In any form...It is obvious these looters are willing to die there, recycling their family members and Downline cult initiates.
We must be ready to lose our lives if this country will move an inch in the direction of progress
Until we agree with what this undergraduate from Unilag said in the Ajimobi Infamous Speech from LAUTECH students protest. Obviously a peaceful and bloodless struggle will never end Nigeria's woes...
MaziOmenuko: Ymodulus, if I were u, I'd think twice b4 accepting to meet anyone that contacts you from this thread. What you boldly published here is implicating and a grievious economic crime, a lot of people will not boldly publish such an illegality on a public space: I kept asking myself, "what the hell is he thinking" as I read through your post.
Heck!
My thought too...
It's been a while Engr Mazi, good to know you're balling. Compliments...
