Jubal Theophilus: skool no b 4 everybody . Its high time we open our minds to this . nigerians r full of pride & always want to show off wif some degree or d other . Lets Expunge that mentality that a university degree is everything. 1st learn to read & write b4 u think of degree oh .

Reminds me of this song in those days;
"If you no sabi read and write eyi bad oh,
you dey wear big Agbada, Oga jibiti

Nah if you sabi read and write
and you speak good inglish
nah heem make you complete person"

CY09: Check my posts, i have never exchanged words with anyone on NL since i joined...Don't have time for internet bickering...I don't need to show off here cos it's not gonna add or remove anything from me...Abeg shift go front, go find your type dem!

I barely give a face to post like yours, like they say in Nigeria, See, jump and pass.. #CY09Post_ignore.

Todaynatoday: Some people here are just waiting to point out grammatical/spelling mistake(s) made by other people. If you fall into this category of people, please get a life, no one is perfect!

Exactly my point to Afem4eva. We are here to learn, rightly or wrongly. Some come here to show-off. Whereas when you examine their post[s], they are no better than those they criticize.

CY09: Don't point out errors if you can't correct or modify them.

Understand the meaning of words. When something is classified TRASH, it means irremediable. #critical-thinkers

CY09: If not for the west i doubt if you would be here feeling good about yourself...If you find it difficult to comprehend my post, simply ask me come down to your level cos i see no need for your post.

I understand "internet warriors" like yourself abound. Unfortunately, the 'real' life is where you will be assessed and scored. #Getreal. #Getalife

emmygod: [s]What happens in ESUT is applicable in most Nigeria universities[/s].The sector is a a failed system. The breed of [s]corruptions corruption have eaten deep in our educational systems[/s].[s] We should not blame the school but should stand and reject the system of education in Nigeria..I am still warning our government to shun most our privates schools in Nigeria who mostly breeds students in exam malpractice. Private schools students never fail exams and they continue like this to achieve academic incompetence. Moreover ,all and sundry in quest of paper certificate has contributed enormously to this development. Our leaders appoints lectures who supposed to reexamined before handling any course in university.The system is highly politicized. People embraced evil. students enjoy cheat.Lectures enjoy sorting.parents enjoy success by all means. our government cant see but only sit down and shouts. WHO IS TO BLAME?.The good suffers in Nigeria. MAY GOD HELP THE GOD FEARING.

CY09: Bro, same way many religious heads have programmed their adherents to a particular line of thought...Hope you understood me sha?

Should I follow your line of thought, I would conclude that You fall into 'those' referred to in your post. Why? 'the West' have had you 'programmed' in your own words "to a particular line of thought", and I am sure you would agree with me on this.-Get real bro,

manny4life: You know damn well what he's tryna say; please drop this your analytic abeg.

The truth remains; those who claim to be critical thinkers on NL are worse off. Lets not derail this thread for what it is. The obvious is, 'intellect' was abused in His connotation and putting two a two together, His sentence did not make much sense - #Personal opinion

afam4eva: I think i understand you...Some Nigerians have their intellect programmed to reason in a particular way without paying attention to logic.

Sorry Bro, not wanting to sound anti, but this is complete tosh! How can you programme 'Knowledge' or let's break it down. You come across as saying this: "Some Nigerians have their Knowledge and Ability to reason programmed to reason in a particular way without paying attention to logic" - Not sure if there is any sense in that expression of yours

shymexx: While you guys are at it, they also need to check the intelligence level of Nigerians...

Most Nigerians aren't intelligent to me, and NL is a proof of how unintelligent most Nigerians are...

Critical thinking is non-existent in that country, and without "intellectual property" - Nigeria will never progress.

That's just my 2cent!

PS: Have they checked if these people have dyslexia? Anyway, I'd take them if they're critical thinkers before most Nigerians who can write properly but aren't intelligent enough to be critical thinkers.

Adjective.
1. Intelligent - having the capacity for thought and reason especially to a high degree; "is there intelligent life in the universe?"; "an intelligent question"
smart - showing mental alertness and calculation and resourcefulness

2. Intelligent - exercising or showing good judgement; "healthy scepticism"; "a healthy fear of rattlesnakes"; "the healthy attitude of French laws"; "healthy relations between labor and management"; "an intelligent solution"; "a sound approach to the problem"; "sound advice"; "no sound explanation for his decision"
level-headed, level-headed, sound, healthy reasonable, sensible - showing reason or sound judgement; "a sensible choice"; "a sensible person"

3. Intelligent - endowed with the capacity to reason, reasoning, thinking rational - consistent with or based on or using reason; "rational behavior"; "a process of rational inference"; "rational thought"

By definition 1 and 3, Bro you are absolutely wrong!

justwise: He was the only person that made sense out of the whole issue.

Bro,I expected you to go back and read your post so as to understand why I highlighted that part of the sentence. #caseclosed.

afam4eva: You wouldn't understand. English aficionados won't bat an eyelid. Btw, it's pidgin not pigin.

Thanks for pointing that out, I already noted the typo. I highlighted your sentence, to bring it fore because someone rightly pointed that 'typo' is being misconstrued as poor English. Beside, I am not here to point accusing fingers at 'Posts', I am learning everyday but some of You in this thread want to "show-off".

Jarus: Grammar, not grammar. Please do check your spelling before posting.

#justsaying ...
"Please do check your spelling before posting" to "Please do check your spelling[s] before posting" ..#caseclosed

afam4eva: Apart from the fact that you used "is" instead of "It's", i think your sentence is not lucid for regular beings to decipher.

Is there such a thing as 'regular beings'? Abeg, Bros... change your mode to "default = pigin"

justwise: You are obviously joking with the above comment, you can publish the story but publishing and high-lightening their full names is just senseless and serves no public interest.

Bro, I beg to disagree. There is an overriding public interest in knowing these individuals. Like you rightly noted, the author of the article also printed the NYSC numbers of these individuals for a purpose - "of exposing them rightly". Let's call a Spade a Spade. I do not understand what is the issue with publishing their names.

afam4eva: Correction: Their FULL NAMES..Sir.

Notice how i added an "S" to the FULL NAME and how i added an InitCap to "sir".

Bro, my post was not meant to correct, He wanted to understand what was wrong in His sentence which I highlighted in bold.

We are all learning, and English language is not our first spoken or written language. If you claim to be a 'Wole Soyinka' then maybe you ought to know that your 'i' should be 'I'

CY09: I wanted him to detect that himself, that is if he actually knew he was wrong.

Bro, the connotation is out of place, hence I would not bother myself with the [s] in molest. Case close.

justwise: You are still not making any sense, correct it.

Afam4eva has replied you, Bro

afam4eva: Both are wrong. But "Molest" sounds better. But the correct sentence should be "What if he molests you".

You are right in wrong.. case close.

afam4eva: You guys should always start a sentence with an Init-Cap.

You mean CAPS LOCKS ?

justwise: What exactly are you going on about?

Their FULL NAME ..sir,

afam4eva: That's the job of the bot and not the poster.

Bro, with all due respect, which is better: "What if he molestation you" or "What if he molest you" ..

justwise: Allegedly? If it was just an allegation why then was their names and other personal details published?

The details of these individuals ought to be published because it is of public interest.The interest "to know" of the general public far outweigh the personal privacy of these individuals so far an allegation has been made.

justwise: You tell me, what does it look like?

Bro.. we are all learning.. eyi Their FULL NAME

obasy09: Just point out what is wrong with the statements and stop displaying your lack of comprehension.

I aint spoke english like them ESUST, if I right any, it is how its felt in my mind

justwise: @Op.

This is completely senseless way of treating people's personal details, why did you put up their full name and NYSC details?

what meant this

swoosh: There could be data privacy breach here..Not sure it was neccesary to publish their details. Nigerian officials love to play to the gallery at the slightest opportunity- forgetting many of them are part of the problem in the first place. Eish!

Not condeming these people yet (cos I cant verify authenticity of this post) but if true then shud be a lesson for those students who do not want to work for thier degrees - somehows it gets back at you in the long run

@bold,
I beg to differ on this. These individuals are alleged to have committed a crime by claiming to be graduates of an Institution of Higher learning without having enrolled into, been assessed by and deemed qualified by the institution of learning.

Peckiee: Just 3??....people wit fake results are many,there's no difference btw them and an illiterate

Sis... how fine you is and your english is in tartas

obasy09: The root cause of this anomally can be traced to[i] the too[/i] much emphasis placed on certificate rather than knowledge acquisition. I will not blame these students but the school authority that displayed high level of incompetence or corruption by not only graduating but also mobilising the students for the national service (NYSC). Do not castigate the students. They could out-perform you in other areas of human endeavour if they had received proper counselling in the university ealier enough prior to graduation.

Bro Naahhhh, what meant those inglish , why breaketh a coke bottle this early morning

Jarus: That was teh first thing that came to my mind too, but the laughter overrode it.

Without any malice, why is it wrong to have their names in print? If it was a politician that was found wanting in this regard, I am sure all would want to know the name of that politician. Same goes with these individuals I think.

Abagworo: This is disgusting

What is disgusting? England, whose people you would expect ought to be fluent in spoken and written English, are less impressive in this regard. There have been several occasions I get e-mails from my English colleagues, upon reading them, I burst into laughter!

So let me speak as I thought it wise to.... are you shame of my righting english? If so, how am I learn the beta one?

What meant this? If I spoke a bad English what is concern of your business? Nwnaa ehnnn, this odikwa risky oh!.. NYSC is ask I right in Roman figure but I sell spare parts in naira
