Very true. Expecting Oparanozie to come in very early in the second half.

Oparanozie is not too mobile but can bully the defenders with her strength and physique.

see ojoro statistics......possession 50/50. smh

aimuafigo:
Stupid dive

It was a technical foul.The south African defender ran into her from the back.

klexycole:
Nigeria trying to create a good chance with a throw-in close to the SA box.

Great dribbling skill by Ordega inside the box, but wasted the chance to put Nigeria forward.

It was indecision..she wanted to have a go at the keeper and later decided to make it a cross. The resultant ball was too powerful.

Friedyokes:
good advice...hopefully they'll open nairaland and see it

Hahahaha. I hope so too.

Our midfield is bad and that is why we have been lobbing the ball above the midfield. The girls are not doing so bad. They should remember to always have their mind on the ball and not the body of the players cos the bayana bayana girls misskick a lot. Also, we should fire parallel shots and wait for rebounds....their keeper is an akpere. She can barely hold the ball.

Take it easy, bro. All will get better with time.

I really need an answer. I do not understand this institution and there is no one to talk to.

You and the person you quoted need to have your heads examined. Idiotas!

@lalasticlala, kindly move to the front page. Thank you.

It is not uncommon for one to see the National Open University of Nigeria NOUN being tagged a scam, a fraudulent institution, a useless school and so on. I would not have really believed all these claims if I did not eventually get to have an encounter with the institution.


The National Open University of Nigeria offers professionals and other people who are busy and unable to attend a conventional university the opportunity to study online and then write a paper based examination at a designated time. So, I enrolled for a Post Graduate Diploma in Education program at the institution based on the fact that I am an educator with a very tight schedule and I feel such qualification will make me a better educator while I will also have the chance to continue work and study at the same time.


The first bitter experience I encountered was at the registration point at the Victoria Island school where I came in contact with very rude and nasty staff that would not even attend to you few minutes to their closing time even if you plead that you had to rush from work from a far location to get something stamped. All your pleas will fall on deaf ears.


Away from the registration hassle, the online continuous assessments tagged TMAs is a great shame to an institution that is a representative of Nigeria as a nation. The questions are filled with too many typographical errors, meaningless sentences and senseless lifting from the study materials as well as numerous wrong answers. It is such a shame to see that the questions were never cross-checked for errors and there is no monitoring team to oversee these things. The questions are set as though a textbook was handed over to a Primary 3 child to extract sentences from whether meaningful or senseless. Some of the study materials are even so outdated and have not been reviewed for years. The "Computers in Society" textbook for example, still caries instructions from Windows XP Operating system


The conduct of examinations and organisation at the Centers particularly the Mushin center is an eyesore. Invigilators do not conduct themselves properly and do not give the allotted time for the exams. A section of the students can even start same exams like 20 minutes before others due to poor organisation and distribution of scripts and everyone will still have to submit at the same time. On one occasion, an invigilator was even bold enough to tell me that she got home late due to traffic the previous day and that is why 35 minutes was cut off from the stipulated time for a particular paper so we can finish on time and she can go home. Can you imagine!


The final straw that broke the camel's back was the recently released 1st semester examinations results. It is audible to the deaf and visible to the blind that the scripts were not thoroughly marked probably due to the fact that time was fleeting and second semester had started. Thus, random scores were distributed to students. I had 3 straight F's in courses that were well read and covered, so easy and well answered with utmost degree of precision and with no single cancellation when being answered. These are courses in which I did not even have less than 27/30 in the tests. How come the courses turn out as straight F's? Does the examiner wish to tell me that I could not get 23/70 in the exams I already had a 27/30 to even score a 50 C? This is same for a lot of people. Some of the courses that even turned out as C's were wrongly graded. While some markers played safe by distributing C's, others distributed F's. I think they bit more than they could chew and had thousands of scripts to mark as NOUN does not even seem to have a maximum stipulated number for students to get in. It is all about the money and nothing else.The first thing I feel like doing if I ever get to see whoever marked my script and gave me a C is to land a hot slap on the person's face. How can one put so much effort and have many sleepless nights to prepare for exams and the results turn out this way? I had to check my page severally to ensure I was not checking another person's result. NOUN thinks everyone that comes to register for courses in the institution is a riff-raff that would not prepare very well for exams and will swallow whatever is thrown at them as results.


It is obvious that NOUN has been struck by an aggressive fund generation practice and instruction such that you can barely pass through the school without overpaying for tuition and course registration due to a deliberate attempt to always make students come back by failing to get them registered for some courses in some cases, dishing outright failures for courses that were well done and a lot of other unmentionable scandalous practices. In our own case, dishing out failures is a way of milking about 4,500 naira re-registration fees from each candidate for a course. If you fail 3, that gives about 13, 500 naira extra pay. Imagine multiplying that by thousands of students with similar issues. It costs 10,000 naira to get your scripts remarked and this usually takes so much time to process. Thus, most people just move on, re- register for failed courses to save time rather than wait for the long process and spend more. Either way, NOUN makes money. This is such a big shame!


If NOUN wants to milk people dry and make extra money, why not increase project fees to say 50,000 naira or something else rather than subject people to the psychological trauma of registering for courses that were initially well done. How will it feel being served again, a paper for a course you wrote for an A and never failed but was made to believe you did? How can NOUN stoop so low and degenerate to this stage such that scripts were never marked but random scores were given? How can a whole National Open University of Nigeria be this terrible? How can an institution generate so much money from time to time and cannot put in adequate resources and Manpower to pilot her affairs?


The second semester exams has just begun and I and my colleagues are skeptical about our efforts this time around. We hope that it will not be in vain like it was last semester. This madness that is going on at the National Open University of Nigeria needs to be checked by whoever needs to. This is a case of being oppressed with no one to fight for one as it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than to get attended to whenever anything goes wrong at the National Open University of Nigeria. However, we still trust our dear Nairaland to bring to the fore, these sort of heartlessness and evil being perpetrated by the National Open University of Nigeria.

murmee:
My dear, Lagos is not a bit congested. Lagos is saturated. It is overwhelmed!

Hahahaha. I see. It is the smallest state in Nigeria and the OP based the whole of Nigeria on just Lagos when there is fresh air and space in other places.

Digitalwitch:
You get sense my broda.

Thanks jare. Don't mind the poorly written article. Out of all the countries, the writer did not even see better countries that are regular aside Monaco that people debate if it is a country or not. No pictures, nothing. The blogosphere needs to be cleared of vanity blogging from useless and half baked writers.

The write up is not true. How many places in Nigeria do people pay " omo onile" or pay twice for a piece of land? I have seen worse countries than Nigeria. Lagos may be a bit congested but other places are spacious with cheap accommodation. Useless article!

Lol, you can put your money on France, they are the favorites to progress. I only made my analysis based on the last performance of both teams... Uruguay are coming into this one as underdogs considering the past records of France @the world cup.

That factor will definitely come into play and it's natural for Uruguay to have a little bit of fear and doubt within them and France can exploit that. But if Uruguay play without fear especially how they were resolute against Portugal, then France will be in serious trouble.

France don't have a good defence but their MF is compact. If they can silent suarez and cavani and probe their jam packed defence with the pace of mbappe, they will get results.

Uruguay is not an underdog when it comes to the world cup. May I remind you that, they are not even France's mate? For he records, Uruguay has won the FIFA World Cup 2 times while France has only won once. At the last World Cup, they were far better than France. Uruguay has been known to always cause trouble and they are so clinical in front of goal. They are also very compact. Your analysis has loopholes.

Which one is "fact farm" again? Bloody copycats of "fact verse"

I said it.

I seriously hope this does not happen.

I want Nigeria to win but what do you guys think about this pattern?

Pls guys, try and use some common sense when analysing football. Mikel is the best midfielder we have. Without Mikel, the whole midfield will be in a bad state. Moreover, no one passes the ball better than Mikel. In fact, in our last match, the attempted long range passes by Etebor, Ndidi and Co were so woeful. Mikel is the only one that can send accurate long passes in that midfield. He also coordinates the midfield well all the time and gives good instructions. If he sits in the bench, we are finished!

If Germany loses the match, they will have to kiss the world cup bye because Mexico defeated Korea, Mexico on 6 points already. If Sweden wins, Sweden will be on 6 points.

Again, John Obi Mikel delivers in the midfield like he did against Croatia. He coordinated the midfield superbly. Etebor and Ndidi played their hearts out as well. Musa was so clinical in front of goal. Give Mikel some respect people. Superb footballer!

Opinionated:
Yeah

Cut Mikel Obi some Slack

Mikel Obi failed to be effective against Croatia, same thing happened to Messi, Aguero and Higuain. This is not by accident. Croatia are set-up in a way to neutralize the threat of opponents. Give Mikel some support, he could still shine at this world even as a No.10 — Jose Mourinho take note.

I'm very sure Mourinho was quoted out of context. He may just have given a simple opinion but they paint it like he feels the coach is stupid for playing him as a 10. 10 OR DM, Mikel is cool and good to go.

Earthbound:
I don't even understand why this is an issue. This guy is a DM through and through. Only an idiot would play him in a different position.

So you know better. Right? I think you are the eediot here. He played the 10 role throughout the qualifiers and Nigeria played so good with 2 matches to spare. You didn't complain that time. All cos of a match in which he even played well but Nigeria was beaten, you are busy complaining. If the coach deploys him in DM role and we are beaten, your likes will come out to say again that, why did they change him from the creative role he played throughout the qualifiers. Cut him some slack. He played good.

u can imagine ...a sportsman having potbelly and ukwu
thats how it is with our so called professional sportsmen
a footballer...whaling down five plates of akpu with 3 bottles of beer.why wont they feel heavy and have pottummy

. Don't mind them. If you ask them not to eat Asun etc, dem go swear for you say wetin dem go come dey chop. Say Shey Na leaf dem go dey chop? Lol. There was a time Usain Bolt fought with his coach. Why? His coach caught him eating chicken which he wasn't supposed to take. Bolt loves chicken alot and hadn't taken it for a long time before he sneaked to eat it and was caught . See the level of discipline. But why Ihenacho come get lackadaisical attitude?? I no understand the boy at all. He didn't even keep fit, he seems to have lost focus and doesn't make efforts to struggle for anything like he used to all due to small change. African players sha. The only person that used his pot belly well was Yakubu Aiyegbeni. At least he dey use am clear defenders comot for road. He used that his tummy to bully them well.

DrayZee:
Thank you guy. Mikel did well in that match. Nigerians just enjoy bashing him.

Exactly!

Sleezwizz:
Lolzzzz... guy are very funny... at the bolded, that Ihenacho u dey ridicule go buy u and ur family and still av plenty change

And between, Ronaldo face don dey wrinkle ooo

Hahahahahahaha. I dey talk about his frame Joor. Not the one he has no control over

The same copied hogwash all over the net. Truth is, no matter how well you bang a lady and satisfy her and make her squirt, give her the best orgasm whatsoever, as soon as she is out of sight, most of them are already banging the next random dude. Men should focus on better things and forget about trying to make any useless person have fun. If you get married, respect your wife and treat her good.
