Really?

humblemikel:
Until God restructure Love
I'm not loving again for now.
This is not the way our parents meet love.
Love now is like a game of throne, filled with premium Tears.
Love has been defeated, broken and smashed.
We are just using the pieces to deceive each other.

Corrected.

No, polytechnic should not be scrapped.

I said that based on the stories of the graduates from the those institutions.

May I ask why you said that?

Why polytechnic and not university? Polytechnic should be scrapped?

HND vs Degree: Advantages Between HND Over BSc. Holders

Nothing is practically wrong with enrolling for HND or being an HND holder. I would like to distinguish between HND Holders and BSc. Degree Holders. Both of them have advantages than the other. But I have a more marketable preference for HND Holders.

A Higher National Diploma (HND) is an academic higher education qualification of the United Kingdom. Qualification of the same title is also offered in Argentina, India, Malta, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and some other countries with British ties. This qualification can be used to gain entry into universities at an advanced level; it is considered equivalent to a foundation degree or the first two years of a bachelor’s degree.

The House of Reps of the Federal Government of Nigeria has passed a bill to abolish HND/BSc. Dichotomy to close the gap between BSc. Degree and Higher National Diploma. This is the reason recently, in certain agencies, HND holders are upgraded to equal salaries like their degree counterparts.

So what’s your position with your HND?



HND Degree

Advantages Of BSc. Over HND Holders
Let us first look at a series of limitations with Higher National Diploma which Degree holders are not experiencing:

Consideration for BSc holders for teaching (education) without further qualifications are common. Whereas, Higher National Diploma Holders are expected to add, PDG – Postgraduate Diploma in Education to their qualification before they can be at the same level.
BSc holders are commonly accepted for MSc. admission without further qualifications. While some schools will not admit a Higher National Diploma holder without professional qualifications (such as ICAN etc) or Post Graduate Diploma
It is more practiced that BSc holders are assigned with administrative duties at the office rather than practical field duties which their HND counterparts are exposed to.
Except in recent cases and to a few government agencies HND holders were formerly employed with Grade Level 7; GL07 compared to Grade Level 08 for BSc holders. Yet, they are still denied the chance of advancing beyond Grade level 14.
Does it then mean it’s a woe to be a holder of HND? No!

Let’s take for the Higher National Diploma holders.

Advantages of HND Over BSc. Holders
But from a different point of view, things may surprise you if you think Higher National Diploma holders have limited advantages in Nigeria.

Here are the 7 solid reasons why the Higher National Diploma holder has a better advantage over his BSc. Degree counterpart.

Let’s consider some factors carefully listed below:

Affordable school fees: Most tuition fee charged by Polytechnics in Nigeria is less than N40,000. As such, education is more affordable polytechnic to all Nigerians, Unlike the University that many of them charge more than N90,000, Such as; LASU, ANSU, EKSU, AAU, and many other universities.

Study Abroad Preference: In the USA graduates with Higher National Diploma are preferred than their BSc. counterpart because of the US. places preference for your practical skills than just theoretical knowledge. See How To Apply For Masters With HND To Study Abroad.

Quick certificate: Within 2 years, the National diploma ND certificate can lead you to working in enviable positions. To start earning a salary with your certificate doesn’t have to cost you 5 years, and this has been very helpful, especially for those who depend on self sponsorship.

Change of study and environment: Yes, this is another benefit of polytechnic education. You can decide to change your course of study after your national diploma if there any reason to do so. More so, you can run a national diploma programme in Lagos and continue your HND in another polytechnic in any part of Nigeria. You can also go further to study at the university in any preferred state.

Easy admission: Easy as it sounds, polytechnic admission is less competitive. While some individuals may have been working after university admission for over 5 to 6 years without any breakthrough. Polytechnics have made admission easier, with one or two trials, you will conquer the problem of admission.

Job Opportunity: Presently now, some jobs are design only for National Diploma holders and HND holder and as such, there will be lesser competition for those with polytechnic Degree. In some industry like the Banking sector, there will be a specification that only ND certificates are needed for a particular position which excludes BSc. and HND degree holder. You should also remember that to be HND result holder, you must have an ND certificate.

Equal Certificate: Things are equal in the polytechnic as all Polytechnic results have the same value either private, northern, eastern, or western polytechnic. However, the Degree certificate is not equal and a federal university certificate is more valuable and wanted than some other degree certificate.

Admission by Merits: Admission at some universities is by ‘Who knows who’, money, connection, intelligence, and many other factors. You may have to pay a sum of the money before you can be considered for admission to some university.

With these my points I hope I have been able to strongly convince you that HND Holders have better advantages over BSc. Holders.

Some hope for the holders.

Not new .my friends are running Msc directly their HND in the US. I also have an Msc admission in Canada with my HND. I think a good CU and well drafted Statement of Purpose or not can get you one.

With upper or distinction?

Don't you think it will be expensive to run a MSC in the US?

If they come back here those people in the academia will still label them

logicDcoder:
Good Morning Guys. Multithreading is one the most complicated topics that I have ever faced in java (esp. synchronization methods and interthread communication). I understood all the theoretical concepts but my problem is implementation. Can someone also explain Producer-Consumer Problem using threads?

ps: You can refer me to any pdfs, Youtube video or web pages.

Since you said @bold then, get Java Concurrency book, it is the best book that explains java multithreading, it's a 400+ pages. Funny enough I have worked on threads today. I won't rush to say you're experiencing deadlock but get that book.

Wow, I never knew that guy was a Nigerian guy, watched one of his movie with Angelina jolie....

Na even pure Yoruba guy

I've seen that movie. From the beginning of the movie you will see an inscription on the screen that portray "Yoruba" culture and label. He is proud of his lineage just like Anthony Joshua.

Gabbriell:
You are wrong. We can not be everywhere, we depend on the internet for a lot of things happening in other regions.

All that is needed is to make sure the particular news have a credible source. Credible Nigerian news channels have sources all over the country.

It is wrong to say because you are not there so it did not happen, it's very wrong .

In this case, you have to do your own investigation and hold on to the truth.

I believe you are among those who said during #endsars protest that there was massacre in lekki tollgate having seen or read about it on the internet, are you not?

Baabu320:
I am interested in learning mobile app development within 8 to 10 weeks but I'm confuse on how to start or where to start. I don't know what to learn first. Do i need to learn web development or how do i go about it?

Web master on this forum, kindly help me out I'm confuse.

tho I was oblige to choose between mobile app and web development. I prefer mobile app dev to web dev cuz the market is currently saturated. If I am wrong please correct me. I don't know much about IT.

Do you have a good school or anyone that can coach me on mobile app dev within the time frame?

You have given up(I wanted to say failed) when you have not started by saying 8 to 10 weeks.

Badorey1:
They should make sure they go after only the criminals and not turn themselves to another SARS like the Oyo Amotekun is currently becoming.

We hope Oyo Amotekun will also fall back in line although they are recording successes just that the little mistake they are doing is covering their successes. But there is still room for change.

SW must be secure from criminals from within and outside our domain.

God bless Amotekun.

@bold you have no proof of that, do you? Don't just place judgment based on what you read on the internet.

malvisguy212:
don't be suprise that guy is from the north, hausa see it as normal

Has such ever happened in your present or heard in the news from the north?

I don't blame them.


The same thing that led them to marry each other is the same reason that made so many twins married the same day, made twins with opposite sex bath together, made one stark naked in the presence of the other, and that made twin sisters married the same man. The world is crazy. The want to remain inseparable, I presume.

Don't even use it, it is not thread-safe. I can call it anti-pattern

diamondedu:
Hmmmm.. good day please how best do I handle this situation?

My ex, although we did not officially seperate, is getting married by the end of the month but she doesn't love her husband to be. She finds his touch irritating, they hardly talk about everything that married people do, she's not just comfortable with the husband to be.

Now me and her were very good friends before we become lovers she's really a good girl, very supportive, infact every man's dream lady but I'm not yet ready to settle down. Family issues still full my head..

PLS married people how best do I avoid her before it becomes problem for her and the innocent man?

Advice her to love her man. If you truly want to help, cut the communication btw the two of you. Don't let her make you her best friend, let her make her husband her very best friend. Reduce your chatting, texting, and talking with her. Please, do this for this guy and move on with your life. May God help you

I'm just seeing this Charlie Charlie thing. I was looking for a movie to download a while ago then I saw a movie titled " Ouija Charlie Charlie challenge" I was like, whadafok!

I just left a supermarket somewhere in Lagos now and I cannot believe what happened.

The madam (of Yoruba tribe) was warning her staff at the counter not to speak Igbo with anyone including the customer she was conversing with. I was stunned at how irate she was, almost yelling that “she would not tolerate it”.

I then asked her why it was a problem since Yorubas spoke Yoruba all the time even within the office environment. This was her reply-

“No that is wrong, it is not SOCIALLY acceptable for both of them to speak Igbo publicly”, I then asked again why not, she was so furious…saying it may make a customer think they are gossiping… Each time she gave a response, she got even more angry. At this point the girl stopped and the customer walked away.

My question to Igbos in Lagos, is this a common occurrence where you live? Have you ever been berated for speaking your language in public?

@bold I think she is correct for that, perfectly.

Those ladies should help you with Mouth Gig na

Congrats on this bundle of joy.

Timoadie200:
just frustrated..I don't know the next step to take. I feel empty having a higher national diploma

Please, obtain DE form this year. I can feel your pain.

While doing that, apply for teaching job as chemistry or biology teacher. It will surprise you that you are better than some of your university counterparts during interview. Work on your self-esteem as well. There are many HND holders that are doing great out there.

Tolexander:
You wey sabi am, you no get time to explain, Na me go con get the time to explain.

Baba, I’m sorry sir
Please pardon me, you don’t know what you are saying

Okay i hear you but those verses up there with little research will broaden your knowledge of the topic.

Tolexander:
Rev 6:2-


Rev 6:4


Rev 6:5&6


Rev 6:8


Rev 1


What your point is I don’t understand.

And I’m very sure you don’t even understand yourself

I really do not have time to explain this with other biblical references but I suggest you Google up to clear your understanding.

Tolexander:
What is in the book of revelation for the explanation sir?

The planets are located as follows:

1 – Jupiter in Sagittarius (Rev. 6:2)

2 – Mars is in Gemini or Taurus (Rev. 6:4)

3 – Mercury in Libra (Rev. 6:5-6)

4 – Saturn is in Scorpio (Rev. 6:

5 – Sun in Virgo (Rev. 12:1)

6 – Moon in Virgo (Rev. 12:1)

7 – Venus in Leo (2:26 and 2:28)


Rev 1:20 do justice I believe.
