I didn't read all that. He even went too far sef,

Acquiring an Msc is also a waste of time.

What are u mastering?

Larryhoover:
I think we should start reversing the degree from the awardees if they can not proffer a solution to the problem Nigeria is facing starting with the former president and down the chain of command

“Academic excellence is overrated! Did I just say that? Oh, yes, I said it.
Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.
You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn’t mean you will make more money than everybody else.
The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.
The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorize it and reproduce it in an exam.
School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.
School rewards caution, life rewards daring.
School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do I mean people shouldn’t study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don’t sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don’t limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical.

Take a leadership position.

Start a business and fail. That’s a better Entrepreneurship 101.

Join or start a club.

Contest an election and lose. It will teach something Political Science 101 will not teach you.

Attend a seminar.

Read books outside the scope of your course.

Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards…
Do something you believe in!

Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world ur classroom!”

– Bishop Oyedepo has said that a doctorate degree is only but paper, except the knowledge acquired is used to impact lives


– The founder of Winners chapel made the disclosure to some PhD graduates of Covenant University in Ota, Ogun state


– Oyedepo lamented over the numerous situations in which those certified with PhDs, have little or nothing to offer


– The bishop promised to fund projects carried out by few PhD graduates of Covenant University (CU)


David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop and founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, has said that an inability to identify problems and solve them, renders every PhD degree useless.


While addressing few PhD graduates of the Covenant University (CU) in Ota, Ogun state, Oyedepo urged people to come up with innovations that can solve problems plaguing the society.


The Chancellor, told them their inability to do so would mean their research programme was useless.

Bishop Oyedepo promised to make funds available to them to identify problems and find solutions.


Spoke at a meeting with the young scholars, Oyedepo said Nigeria has been unable to address its challenges because of a lack of capacity to get the job done.



He decried situation in which PhD holders seemingly lacked the thinking capacity.



He said: “I have come to provoke your potential. There is more inside you than the earned certificate. If you cannot think out solutions to problems, your PhD is a complete waste.



“When we say Doctor of Philosophy, we are saying master of thinkers; someone committed to finding solution to life’s problems. And until our learning translates to thinking, our PhD is zero.


“All that we have done going through the rigour of PhD is to ignite our thinking capacity. It’s so important that we have what it takes to recreate our country and the world.


” Hinting that Nigeria has more PhDs than four European countries, Oyedepo wondered why Nigeria was not getting similar result as the Europeans.


“The gas turbine (at CU) was not working because Shell was on strike. So why can’t students of Chemical Engineering build reserves? Why do we look at problems as if we are not concerned?”


Oyedepo said the scholars must learn to management themselves, time and task, to be able to provide solutions to problems.


He noted that the scholars must learn to manage themselves, for qualitative production.


Meanwhile, Oyedepo has challenged the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to proffer solutions to the socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria rather than blaming any political party or individual for the current travails facing the nation.


He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary Nigerians.

lionson:
Well said my Bishop.

Raddie:
You seem to miss the picture.

shamecurls:
Chai!


This man is indirectly referring to someone o.....

creamylicious:
a certain JEG huh?

daveP:
let's go back to ensuring education leans 80% on practical and 20% on just paper work. it's why confidence to think out of what we consider reality today.


practical practical practical


if this is done well, I tell you, the iota of thinking would be in every PhD holder.



for now, it's a title of pride to an average Nigerian

9jatatafo:
Some PhD holders are so useless. Remembers my course adviser in those days in the uni, the man holds PhD in Mathematics and I was shocked that he couldn't solve a Maths problem as he was teaching 200L students.
