Reference: GEJ said stealing is not corruption n Nigerians where arguing with potholes. It is actual a part of it and not a synomy Corruption is basically defering from the right values as judged by a society. Our system support corruption at all levels including family. The first instinct of every creature is survival. Some people will claim perfect, but search your heart at some point you must have shunned,by pass, etc a system. Anyway, na person wey dem catch b thief... This is not a justification but a perspective to help us understand wot we are fighting. |

Premium times n cohort...good job. Bad belle pipu have win, but sha It is very possible that she paid someone to get the exemption certificate since she was over 30 when she needed it( i know its against law). The person applied, but 'story 2 much for the matter'. In other not to disappoint Madam, he decieded to 'Oluyole it'.....and madam paid him handsomely. So everybody when home happily until Premium times. Moral: Do your personal things yourself, so u can take responsibility of the good n the fall... The matter is still subjected to police investigation sha. NB: Its not a tribal warfare. Anybody can let his or her guard down n shit happen. Your ability to get your shit 2geda n raise ur guard up will define how history will remember you. God bless Nairaland God bless Nigeria n God bless Nigerians 1 Like |

Ebonka1:When Pat Utomi contested for president did u vote for him? The political surf is beyond been intelligent n smart. In a country where 80% plus do not have tertiary eduaction and over 60% ar uneducated with the constituting more than half d figure. It can be said that a good number of the so called educated people don't vote. D pdp convention is a mirror of d state of affair in the political class. As for we youth, to get to the position of Leadership we have to be strategic (NB: it is not for everybody). Develop yourself strategical in line for leadership n responsibility mgt. Good Leadership is not accidental, we have to be involved. David became king, but his relationship with king saul n his children was from the days of his youth....For those who are working in this direction, keep it up.� |

Poor writing and grammar doesn't make her a failure. Its only a wakeup call to our educational system. I've seen worse. ND, OND, HND, Bsc. even Msc. It is as a result of poor academic background. Little or on attention is paid to what is taught and their performance in Govt. primary and secondary schools. Most Nigerian graduate today look for format to write everything( CV, application, etc). You need to see the performance of graduates in a test that required writing. and some people are here making jest. Even some graduate today can't use the computer effectively. #youthwakeupcall |

Education / Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency Abandon Scholars Abroad. by ogborikoko: 7:45pm On Nov 25, 2015 |
Gift Amadi says his education and his future are in doubt because he's been abandoned by the Nigerian government agency that brought him to study at the University of Manitoba. The political science student is one of almost 250 Nigerian students studying at 14 Canadian universities on a scholarship from a government-funded agency in Nigeria called the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency. The agency promised to pay their tuition and provide a $1,100 monthly living allowance. They haven't received that allowance for 11 months, and much of their tuition fee payment has been delayed too, Amadi said. The agency and the government that funds the program have left the students to fend for themselves, he said. "It's not just a delay," said Amadi. "It's more like they don't care. It's not of value to them." Amadi, who is in his third year at the U of M, said he's behind on his rent and is struggling to feed himself. "Right now I'm taking classes and I'm thinking of feeding," Amadi said during an evening interview. "I haven't eaten since morning and I'm in class." About 50 students sponsored by the agency are currently enrolled at the U of M, said Leah Janzen, U of M's vice-president of outreach and engagement. She said she's aware of their situation. "I know some of them have accessed our student food bank," Janzen said. "It's a very difficult situation." The RSSDA owes $2.5 million to Canadian universities, with the majority owed to the U of M, the University of Regina and Simon Fraser University. The agency owes more than $250,000 to the U of M, Janzen said. Godwin Poi RSSDA Godwin Poi, acting executive director of the RSSDA, said the fall in the price of oil is to blame for failures to meet tuition and living allowance payments for students. (Courtesy of Rivers State Sustainability Development Agency ) "We remain in contact with this organization, and they're asking us to be patient," she said. "But at this point, we're not sure what to expect from them with regards to those arrears." Godwin Poi, the acting executive director of the RSSDA, said the Nigerian government is experiencing a revenue shortfall due to plunging oil prices and fluctuations in currency. As a result, the government has not been giving his agency money regularly, he said. "I can only tell you what the government tells me which is that the funds are not available," said Poi. "Allocations from central government and state government have dwindled and the state government relies predominantly on the central government for funding." The RSSDA and the government have every intention of paying the universities and the students when the money becomes available, he said. source: http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/canada/saskatchewan/story/1.3331142 |

Education / Brain On Books: 10 Things That Happen To Our Minds When We Read by ogborikoko: 12:47pm On May 05, 2015 |
Any book lover can let you know: diving into a great novel is an immersive experience that can make your brain wake up with imagery and feelings and even turn on your senses. It sounds sentimental, however there’s genuine, hard proof that supports these things happening to your brain when you read books. In reading, we can really physically change our brain structure, become more empathetic, and even trick our brains into thinking we’ve encountered what we’ve only read in novels. 1. We make photos in our minds, even without being prompted: Reading books and different materials with clear imagery is not only fun, it additionally allows us to create worlds in our own minds. But did you realize that this happens regardless of the fact that you don’t mean it to? Researchers have observed that visual imagery is simply automatic. Participants were able to identify photos of objects faster if they’d just read a sentence that described the object visually, recommending that when we read a sentence, we naturally raise pictures of objects in our minds. 2 Spoken word can put your brain to work: Critics are quick to dismiss audiobooks as a sub- par reading experience, but research has shown that the act of listening to a story can light up your brain. When we’re told a story, not only are language processing parts of our brain activated, experiential parts of our brain come alive, too. Hear about food? Your sensory cortex lights up, while motion activates the motor cortex. And while you may think that this is limited only to audiobooks or reading, experts insist that our brains are exposed to narratives all day long. In fact, researcher Jeremy Hsu shares, “Personal stories and gossip make up 65% of our conversations.” So go ahead, listen to your coworker’s long and drawn out story about their vacation, tune in to talk radio, or listen to an audiobook in the car: it’s good exercise for your brain. 3. Reading about experiences is almost the same as living it: Have your ever felt so connected to a story that it’s as if you experienced it in real life? There’s a good reason why: your brain actually believes that you have experienced it. When we read, the brain does not make a real distinction between reading about an experience and actually living it. Whether reading or experiencing it, the same neurological regions are stimulated. Novels are able to enter into our thoughts and feelings. While you can certainly hop into a VR game at the mall and have a great time, it seems that reading is the original virtual reality experience, at least for your brain. 4. Different styles of reading create different patterns in the brain: Any kind of reading provides stimulation for your brain, but different types of reading give different experiences with varying benefits. Stanford University researchers have found that close literary reading in particular gives your brain a workout in multiple complex cognitive functions, while pleasure reading increases blood flow to different areas of the brain. They concluded that reading a novel closely for literary study and thinking about its value is an effective brain exercise, more effective than simple pleasure reading alone. 5. New languages can grow your brain: Want to really give your brain a workout? Pick up a foreign language novel. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden tested students from the Swedish Armed Forces Interpreter Academy, where intensive language learning is the norm, and medicine and cognitive science students at Umea University. Both groups underwent brain scans just prior to and right after a three-month period of intensive study. Amazingly, the language students experienced brain growth in both the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex, with different levels of brain growth according to the amount of effort and learning students experienced in that period of time. 6. Your brain adapts to reading e- books in seven days: If you’re used to reading paper books, picking up an e-reader can feel very awkward at first. But experts insist that your brain can adopt the new technology quickly, no matter your age or how long you’ve been reading on paper. In fact, the human brain adapts to new technology, including e-reading, within seven days. 7. E-books lack in spatial navigability: Although your brain can adapt to e-books quickly, that doesn’t mean they offer the same benefits as a paperback. Specifically, they lack what’s called “spatial navigability,” physical cues like the heft of pages left to read that give us a sense of location. Evolution has shaped our minds to rely on location cues to find our way around, and without them, we can be left feeling a little lost. Some e-books offer little in the way of spatial landmarks, giving a sense of an infinite page. However, with page numbers, percentage read, and other physical cues, e-books can come close to the same physical experience as a paper book. 8. Story structure encourages our brains to think in sequence, expanding our attention spans: Stories have a beginning, middle, and end, and that’s a good thing for your brain. With this structure, our brains are encouraged to think in sequence, linking cause and effect. The more you read, the more your brain is able to adapt to this line of thinking. Neuroscientists encourage parents to take this knowledge and use it for children, reading to kids as much as possible. In doing so, you’ll be instilling story structure in young minds while the brain has more plasticity, and the capacity to expand their attention span. 9. Reading changes your brain structure (in a good way): Not everyone is a natural reader. Poor readers may not truly understand the joy of literature, but they can be trained to become better readers. And in this training, their brains actually change. In a six-month daily reading program from Carnegie Mellon, scientists discovered that the volume of white matter in the language area of the brain actually increased. Further, they showed that brain structure can be improved with this training, making it more important than ever to adopt a healthy love of reading. 10. Deep reading makes us more empathetic: It feels great to lose yourself in a book, and doing so can even physically change your brain. As we let go of the emotional and mental chatter found in the real world, we enjoy deep reading that allows us to feel what the characters in a story feel. And this in turn makes us more empathetic to people in real life, becoming more aware and alert to the lives of others. http://infoatedu.com/brain-on-books-10-things-that-happen-to-our-minds-when-we-read/
