where did samsard say vocational education is not education in his post?

stop putting words in people's mouth just to dis-credit them when you don't even know that in the U.S people get jobs because they are whyte regardless of their educational qualifications and that is why that boss with only WAEC also has a boss ahead of him with Bsc and other degrees..

there is big emphasis on degrees abroad that is why they are employing migrants with Bsc and higher degree ahead of their population who don't have Bsc and any educational qualifications..

everyone reading your post who is living in the US right now for at least 5 years know you are talking nonsense

my niece's supervisor at fedex here in California is a 26 year old "BLACK" lady making $95,000 a year - she only has GED and she has been with FEDEX since she was 18 years old . So stop misinforming people. Meanwhile I know of a guy in Texas who has a degree here in the USA AND he is driving UBER right now

My son who scored[b] 330 in JAMB[/b] couldn't gain admission last year because he was 15 years 11 months and 3 weeks and considered under age and below 16 years. He wrote JAMB again this year and got 345 and intends to study medicine. Please who can arrange better thunder for me and send it to this Olodo person calling himself minister of education.

samsard:
We have 60-80 year Olds who run this country and lack any sort of emotional intelligence. Let the books smart kids go to school at 16 if they meet the requirements. There's a place for trades in every society, it doesn't mean every kid should learn a trade.

and who told you vocational education is not education ? what is education to you ? cramming and regurgitating dense texts in a book for exam purposes? this is the problem with Nigeria - we do not see the picture and even when we do- we have this penchant to ignore it.

Come to the US and other developed societies, with you Bsc and Msc - your Boss on that job is just a GED or WAEC (equivalent holder) He becomes your Boss because he has on the job experience that you do not have and he is a team player - no big emphasis is placed on degrees or certificates which they see as just a receipt that you payed to attend a class to cram dense text to regurgitate for 4 years - you get it?

LegendHero:
Well you are right about that maturity. When I entered Uni, I was so small and I think one of the youngest in the whole faculty. It usually affect self esteem at some point but I blended well in the second semester coz I know a lot of people, I sabi book then with first class GPA in first semester (So people dey famz me), and I was an artist who roll with people that sing on campus.

I will not say entering at a young age affected my life wrongly. This thing about life is that, even for same circumstance, we might get different result coz life is just like a dice.

I like the bolded too. Vacational skills should be preached.

Fact, thanks.

LegendHero:
Lol, be like say the minister don drink before the meeting.

I completed secondary school at age 14. So one minister go talk say make I no enter Uni back then too right?

I finished secondary school those days when education was top notch in Nigeria before I turned 16 - but I made a lot of terrible decisions with my life for a while because I lacked the maturity of the academic level I found myself - all these madness we see in universities these days is because kids lacking maturity were admitted into school before they can figure out what life is all about - IF I have my way, nobody will be admitted into any university in Nigeria without having a vocational skill and proof of earning with that skill for at least 1 year pre-admission.

In the US, you cannot apply to write the LSAT (Law School Aptitude Test) t o gain admission to study Law if you do not have a 4 year degree- Meanwhile, In Nigeria, anyone, fresh from one secondary school - "barely able to clean their anus in terms of reasoning and life experience" will write WAEC and JAMB in "miracle centers" and baam! - they are reading Law or Medicine in a University. In America, you can not read Medicine without, first, having a degree in one of the natural sciences like BCH (BioChem) MCB (MicroBiology) or even Pure and Applied Chemistry. Even for regular degrees like (Business Admin, Political Science, Philosophy or even Finance) most times - most schools prefer you get your 2 year Associate Diploma (what we call OND) from a Community College before applying for a degree program so they can evaluate your ability to cope with the University degree program -

Naija always finds a way to bastardize and make chaotic - things done with integrity and orderliness in other climes -------> why the rush to graduate kids from Universities when they may be book smart but lacking emotional intelligence required for a balanced University education?

Why not enrol that kid in vocational education to spend that age 16 - 18 learning a life skill so when they get to the university- they can be earning a living with their new skill and sustaining themselves while in school to reduce the financial pressure on their parents ? What is the need of graduating at age 19, serve at age 20 and becomes miserably unemployed - doing yahoo yahoo and hook up from age 21 to 40? rabbissshhh!!!!

othermen:
The Minister’s sons and daughters and grandchildren (all abroad) are getting their university degree before they are 18 years.

The minister is not focused on making our universities competitive or improving the output from our universities.

What is the problem exactly with having 16 year old get admission? Their counterparts in other countries do. You even find a 16 year old having a more robust frame of mind and strength of will than those older.

Parents would now send their children to study in South Africa and Ghana.

Not true - In the US, you cannot apply to write the LSAT (Law School Aptitude Test) t o gain admission to study Law if you do not have a 4 year degree- Meanwhile, In Nigeria, anyone, fresh from one secondary school - "barely able to clean their anus in terms of reasoning and life experience" will write WAEC and JAMB in "miracle centers" and baam! - they are reading Law or Medicine in a University.

The Senate is not supposed to be a place where everyone should chorus the same thing - it is meant for dissent so everyone can offer their own perspective on how the country should be run and they later resolve and meet half way for the good of the country - do these fellas understand what democracy means ? it is not for there to be agreement always - hmmmm black man

Kriss216:
I wonder how France and French players take enter Copa America. You won Copa America and you're trolling European team and players

This is why I laugh when Africans carry Messi matter for head like Gala - ARGENTINES are fvcking racists- That was the reason I supported France to win the last world cup - OK they didnt win - but any country who dehumanizes the Black race will never get my endorsement or appreciation because I am first a black man before being a Nigerian - American or citizen of the world - shay e don clear for ona eyes now - useless white slave master worshippers struck by colo-mentality who get orgasms whenever Messi or Argentine is mentioned.

Yeye. A Republican gun-loving renegade shot her husband. Why’s she mad at Biden?

The guns that is not legalized and available in Nigeria for law -abiding Nigerians is the reason your politicians fv ck you raw in the a s ss everyday flaunting their stupendous ill gotten wealth to your face, sleep with your daughters who are university undergrads with impunity, with neighbors disvirgin your daughters with indomie and 2 eggs - turn your sons to petty thieves - and your wife and mothers vulnerable to Fulan i herdsmen gboola - and make you a fair game for kidnappers as soon as you step out of your house- IF Nigeria legalized firearms - your government and its officials will do the right thing always- get that in your thick skull

1 mad man out of a country of 300 million people did the unthinkable and suddenly gun-ownership must be outlawed? IF gun ownership is outlawed in America today, America will be more dangerous to live in than Nigeria- it will be free for all armed robberies- kidnappings and all sort of crazy crimes - legal gun ownership is a deterrent to crime and criminality!!!

TheChameleon:


These kind of comments amuse me.

Nigerians pay tithes, go to Hajj. But when it comes to pay tax they will refuse.

The excuse is : after all, the FG is doing nothing but embezzling.

There's a point, YES Government is full of thieves. YES Government & lawmakers ensure their benefits are all well taken care of.

But the grim reality is that in developed countries from monarchy days... everyone is heavily taxed.

Oil income can't sufficiently cover for a welfare system.

Japa isn't the solution to the issues in Africa. We really need to look inwards. Japan and Germany rose from the ashes of near annihilation after World War II. See where they are today.

Africans still have to be told not to defecate in water sources for drinking & cooking. We have to be told not to vandalise public amenities e.g. Iron rods of bridges.

Leaders and followers need total reorientation.

I was shocked when I saw London, Mecca and Dubai for the first time in person and not on TV.

I wondered how our leaders go for vacation, go on Hajj and then return to say " this is how I will rule my own country".

no na- we love to blame satan the devil - casting and binding it all day long with our daddy G.O.'s fueling the conspiracy theory that the devil is the reason Nigeria is the way it is - nansense

A friend who just arrived Canada said he is also receiving close to a million naira monthly pending till he finds a job.

Our politicians do travel to those countries, they have kids, friends and family there, but for them to replicate the same always hard for them to do

Fat lie -- for those who have been there and are "landed" - (ie. with Permanent Residents, yes they earn Unemployment Insurance- UI benfits) NOT a new arrival who never payed into the system - ona think say western world na father christmas ? no be the same Canada some people were sleeping under in little tents in cold winter ? abeg blow this your fabu small small

The guy is acting like a mumu because he has not yet got his papers, as soon as he has it he will show you his true colours

show which color ? as long as he remains in the US - na child support go bury this guy until that child turns 18- in some instances if the woman is legally smart - this mumu will pay the child support until the kids are 21. One thing about child support is that even if you run to Nigeria- the thing go dey pile up (back child support) na for Airport when him arrive them go handcuff am - e like make him sneak in through Alaska, when he fled from Texas or New York, na the same federal database ---- hmmm twins for that matter --- okokobioko --- very soon him go realize why barack obama papa run leave him pikin for USA go kenya and never to return

ravensckar:
The RULING CLASS are truly not afraid of the masses.

Shouldn't the government be afraid that the word "tax" may trigger a Kenya-like protest even if this proposed tax has nothing to do with the masses?

Such audacity!

Tinubu is truly heartless! All he thinks about are TAXES, TAXES, TAXES & REVENUES. Shior!

Kenyans will soon lose respect for Nigerians - those their women that love naija men because of nollywood will soon realize there is nothing to love in cowards

Zeezenho:
You are totally wrong reverse is the case here.

you dey mind the id iot ? when I just arrived in America - this was the gabbage my uncle was trying to indoctrinate me with in California

Whenever he sees Bill Clinton on TV he yells - correct man, see better person --- when he sees Bob Dole on TV, he screams crazy republicans, all they know is create a mess - the subprime mortgage issue that almost created global economic depression which destroyed companies that have existed for more than 100 years like Lehman's Brothers, Banks like Washington Mutual etc. where did it start from?

Under Bill Clinton, a democrat

The war on terror which cost 3,000+ American lives on 9/11 was caused by Bill Clinton who did not approve the killing of Bin Laden when US forces had him in sight when he was hiding in SUDAN, in 1998 - that proved to be a costly error as thousands of US troops will pay the ultimate price in Iraq and Afghanistan later - imagine if Bin Laden was killed in 1998 in Sudan, most likely 9/11 wont happen and most people who died will be alive today, happy with their families

How Nigerians love to praise Obama is beyond me

Obama who used the might of the US Government to impose Buhari on Nigerians through US backed disinformation on how Goodluck stole $20Billion, using his Secretary of State John Kerry to sow disunity in Nigeria by visiting APC governors in Sokoto and not going to Aso Rock ? - I guess we all see where we are today because of Buhari's incompetence - leading to Tinubu catastrophe, all because GEJ did not sign gay rights into law -? A man who in his 8 year rule did not set foot in Nigeria for one second? despite receiving block votes from Nigerian -Americans in 2008/2012 elections ? No, he visited Ghana, other African countries and gave the middle finger to Nigeria, yet most Nigerians- especially Nigerian Americans always have orgasm when the name Obama is mentioned -- This is the man who stood aside and watched Ghadaffi killed, a man who was calling for African single economy and currency - a man who stabilized North Africa- since Ghadaffi was killed all the terrorist he kept under control in the Sahel are now ravaging the whole of the West African sub-region

Aww why am I surprised - NIGERIANS are always in love with their oppressors - so said a former African Leader, JJ Rawlings!

swiych:
I'm not being brainwashed. Blacks are the main problems to blacks

So says a house Ni urr!

swiych:
We did that to ourselves, all those things you just mentioned, it was Africans that sold Africans to the whites.

"Sold" is one factor of the rest factors - lets assume we sold ourselves to the white man, did the African traders also tell the white man to rape the women - hang the men, cut off their legs - put padlocks in their mouth, cage them - set them on fire, thrown them overboard on the Atlantic Ocean?

little boy- I know the white man has done enough brain washing to make you feel they are saints and you, the black man is the problem of slavery - but the same white man who claims Africans were not the victims but willing collaborators in the slave trade, thereby manhandling the slaves, cutting off their foot, lynching them to death at will to please the slave masters - BUT can no stand any human betting for 2 dogs (animals) to have a fight ? -- please (google) read about how Michael Vicks of the Philadelphia Eagles went to jail for dog fight betting - This tells you that life of a dog is more valuable to the white man than that of the black man!

The same white man who tells you how bad Africans were collaborators in the trans-Atlantic slave trade will not tell you the atrocities of King Leopold of Belgium in the Congo; how millions Congolese; who were not sold to slavery - who were in their own country - were beheaded, amputated, drowned, humiliated and killed for not working enough to feed his European market for raw materials ? Or how Patrice Emery Lumumba; Congo's first post-colonial Prime Minister was killed by Belgian forces and his body melted away in Sulphuric acid, with his gold tooth extracted from his body prior in 1961 - only for that tooth to be returned from Belgium just recently for burial in The Congo?

The same white man will not tell you how African Americans - Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the original Constitution, counted enslaved people as three-fifths of a person ? with most "freed slaves" still being lynched from the cotton fields of Mississippi to Alabama?

Oh, you will not remember the Sharpeville and Soweto Massacres of 1960 and 1976 were thousands of un-armed black South Africans were mauled to death in a single day for just protesting against the Apartheid regime in South Africa?

So, if your "white man" has succeeded in absolving himself through brainwashing folks like you - for being responsible for slavery of the black man - will the white man succeed in re-writing history that brutalizing, dehumanizing, maiming, caging, raping, hanging, lynching of the black did not occur? IF the white man can't stand non of these being done to a dog, why allow it to happen to the black man ?

Nothing good last forever

I dont care how old - ugly - uneducated, unsophisticated or poor a woman is - no man should bet against any woman or that man will bite the dust ----- a woman go summon all the arsenals of hell to prevail against the most mighty man and that man will be toast -- a woman wey get kpekus? hmmm- even if she is not giving it out - some men will just do her favor just for favor sake ---- and that man - those men who will just pity her may be 100 times more powerful than Wike - so Wike be careful --- hell hath no fury than a woman scorned!

And this woman you are attacking is not just pretty, she is not poor, she is sophisticated, she is intelligent, she is a senator of the federal republic, she is a sister to - Ajoke, wife of Late Head of State, Gen. Murtala Muhammed - she was the wife of Ambassador Baba Gana- Kingibe -- who was supposed to be Nigeria's Vice-President if June 12 1993 election was not annulled, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and top diplomat, hmmmm - there are people who can die for this woman who are just silent watching you misbehave

WHEN they come for you - even Emilokan wont utter a word- he will let them roast you alive, be careful.

Africans are the biggest racists.

In world history- no race or people were captured, brutalized, dehumanized, maimed, caged, raped, killed, sold, hanged, tortured like the African - when you exhaustively analyze the history of your fore fathers - you will understand why the average African is angry without reason!

If this happened in Nigeria and 60% of super eagles players are white, some people will scream 'white people are taking our lands'.

The white man in Canada has laws in place that puts everyone in check and ensures individual rights are not bridged - Does Nigeria have same? Are you betting your life IF whites becomes 10% of Nigeria's population, slavery of indigenous people will not happen in Nigeria? Have you not seen Chinese supermarkets and schools in Nigeria prohibiting Nigerians from shopping there and attending as students? Can that happen in Canada? so before you open your mouth talking anyhow, know that Canada is a developed society without the system challenges we face in Nigeria!

life sentence today - just like your repentant boko haram terrorist who ate jollof rice and wore babaringa at Nigeria's tax payers expense and were payed and got integrated into the Nigerian security forces are serving life sentences today, Just like Sheik Gumi is serving life sentence today, just like your Fulani bandits kidnapping, raping women, extorting Nigerians on the highways and even in their private homes have all been arrested and serving life sentences as of today, just like Buhari and Buratai who ordered soldiers to eliminate Nigerian youths at Lekki Toll Gate are all serving life sentences as of today, just like those who killed Deborah in broad day light and burnt her body to ashes in Sokoto showing their faces on social media are all serving life sentences as of today ----------> may your abandonment of common sense and nauseating hatred for MNK not lead you to spontaneous madness and untimely grave -------> ka chineke me zioku

If a coach can com out to say such Abt his player,,, den he is not a professional at all....how many times do u see dis European coaches com out to openly criticize a player?....

you must be a nairaland football newbie - what so you think is the main job of coaches after impacting techniques and tactics? CRITICIZE THE PLAYERS - PLAY MIND GAMES WITH THEM TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN THEM- Have you heard Sir Alex Fergusson speak to his players before? Jose Maurinho? Brendan Rogers ? you think the dressing room is for the coaches to cuddle players ? it is where the coaches deliver hard knocks - they blame players and commend players there - hey, Rashford, although you have scored one goal but you have wasted too many chances -- if we lose this game, you are the cause, always play ahead of McTominay, watch out for his passes at angle X, Flank y --- he brings out the tactics board and shows him what he wants him to do in the second half bla bla bla --- yea, that makes him Rashford come out raging in the second half - probably scoring again - so if you dont understand what coaching is all about - keep quite.
