somehow:
I posted what I posted not to you but you jumped at it. All the questions I have left for people like you are all there, none of you have bothered to answer. Please stay on your lane if you can't deliberate with facts and figures

I would never come so low to your level to talk about APC, PDP, Buhari, Jonathan and Atiku . . . . . Have a nice day

DeepSight:
The wrong part of your statement is "there's nothing we can do" . . .

Get involved.
Good day.

I added "now"

Presently there's nothing we can do to change Nigeria as a whole except our individual influences in our communities...

I'm an advocate for SDG 3,4,5...... Which are good health, quality education and gender equality, I volunteer my time with NGOs to render free Basic healthcare to remote communities, I also go to all girls secondary schools to educate them on gender equality....

That's how I've been changing Nigeria in my own little way but sadly it's not enough

krattoss:
u clearly didn't get my angle of perspective.
What I was saying in summary is that no destination or place can guarantee u happiness and self comfort unless u urself develops it irrespective of the condition u find ur self in.
All these atrocities u mentioned happens everywhere. Mass shooting and gang wars happens in America.
Knife slashing, racism and other vices happens in Britain and other European countries.
Vote rigging happens everywhere. U can't know because Inferiority complex and as$ licking won't let u know what happens behind the scenes in these countries u worship.
People make it here as much as people make it abroad. People also fail here as much as people fail over there.
Africa and Nigeria is corrupt and there is nothing u and I can do about it. So why wail and die on something u can't change.?
Or should we all pack our bags and go abroad because the country is corrupt? http://africabusiness2020.com/2015/07/21/10-interesting-facts-about-rwanda/habitable for themselves?
The time u realize every person, city is not equal, the better u live and enjoy ur life while it lasts.
Or u can choose to wail and blame the politicians 24/7.its all ur choice.

Bros, every nation has it's issues, it is way easier for many normal dull youths to make it in some countries than intelligent hard working Nigerians..... Why are we the poverty capital of the world? ..... You're part of the problem, so comfortable with the status quo . .why there is no visible solution now. ..... You and deepsight have not admitted that Nigeria is going backward and not developing, that's what I want you to just admit, lo ba tan


You people are giving excuses for Nigeria's state and defend it.....if you guys have said "Nigeria is a very big shithole, but there's nothing we can do now and still we can't leave it cos it's ours and we have to develop it" I'd be very fine with it and stop this argument but y'all don't wanna gree

IbrahimDamola:
Getaway from here you are monkey. Poverty-stricken 'one nigerianist' imp. I thought you claimed IPOB and kanu-lover are hungry people?

Have you now seen that you 'one nigerianists' are the real slaves who exist only to fighyt for 'one nigeria' for the benefit of the politicians whose children will rule over you, your children, and grandchildren.

Don't worry, by 2059 your children will be carrying 'Yusuf Buhari for president' placard while you rest in penury in an unmarked grave somewhere in oshogbo.

his death would be as a result of unpaid pension, he'd be standing in a queue to collect it for 13hours and he would just slump and die

somehow:
Then why are you still hearing about bombings in Iraq even though Osama is "dead"? Why are terrorist groups all over the world still killing and bombing even when most of their leaders have been killed?


It's insane to expect all federal roads to be fixed within 3.5 years by a new government which was never part of the previous Federal govt in the past 16 years.

Farmers lamenting? Give recent examples ( I doubt you can)

We should always be deep thinkers and not just type whatever comes to our head.

God!!! . . please don't bring Buhari here, that's an entirely different argument . . Campaigning for Buhari ....can you see why this country would take 3000 years to be great?

DeepSight:
Oh shap ap you little boy! I have no doubt I am at least twice your age and a hundred times more vastly traveled.
I am indulging you just to see if I am able to encourage young Nigerians to have a positive attitude to our country - because it is key for your future.

If you like, have a woe-begone attitude - thats your kettle of fish, not mine.
Now smarten up for once and render sensible arguments or please feel free to return to your desperate and hopeless sense of misery.

you're twice my age doesn't mean you're smarter, and about who is more traveled, that is open for argument

rs172:
Shut up have you ever had 24/7 steady electricity in your life, have you ever had access to quality water in your life before, in your so called lagos do you have good roads, high brow areas in your so called lagos is nothing but slump in some developped nations, in your life have ever breathed non polluted air. All these mediocre minds forming they know all, you are addicted to poverty. Educate yourself, read books and develop yourself stop spewing trash.

leave the fool, even with facts he's still saying lagos is more developed than Rwanda, I laugh . . .even bostwana is one secret beautiful country most people don't know of . . 1 bostwana pula= #36 . . Their villages have 24/7 power supply . . Lagos air is so polluted

IbrahimDamola:
Sharap poverty-stricken 'one zombigerian' monkey. Have you ever entered a plane in your miserbale life before. Poverty go finish your lineage there.

Your children will be so hungry, they'll ask you what you did with youthful age. Hunger kee you there.

hahahahahahaha Nigerians like suffer ehn

DeepSight:
Yes thats because progress has been made.
Our history is a work of conflict resolution in progress and by that parameter our democracy is a sign post of progress for those old enough to properly remember military rule. Do you?

Aside from that there has been progress in some key sectors. Telecommunications is one. Still a long way to go though.

okay may your progress in life be like Nigeria's progress. Amen

rs172:
Roastedcorn you shouldn't have made the research, i wanted him (deepsight) to speak for himself and make a fool out of himself.

Stupid set of people who are addicted to poverty, people believing it the people's work to start developing Nigeria, when you elect leaders.

I just tire my guy, The guy is grossly ignorant. .... he probably just read a faulty research and he's been using it to argue, he has low knowledge of how countries around the world are advancing

DeepSight:
Thats all very good and commendable.

My friend you really need to step back and analyze properly. I see you are a student, you do have a long way to go.
Calm your nerves.

Just so you'd know Rwanda is miles ahead of Nigeria

codemaniacs:
this is your main problem...

You see yourself as a "Nigerian" (a british creation)..

You have to learn to see yourself as your ethnic nation first..

Nigeria is too big for everyone to keep shouting NIGERIA this, NIGERIA that...
may be benin is bad for you, it may not be bad to other people..

Covenant University and some other places within Nigeria have 24hrs power supply..

some people have CREATED the right environments for their ethnic groups to prosper...

be the change you want to see from the Bini people (if you are Bini)..

Nigeria is been held back because southern Nigerians are not tribal enough..

How many billionaires from your ethnic nation are currently supporting their fellow tribes people...

Lol what you just suggested would do more harm than good, it'll go a long way in dividing the country further when we're still managing it like this

DeepSight:
I dont think I said that. Although we are in some respects.



Hahahahahahahaaha!
This actually cracked me up, so funny!

Slow your roll brother, calm your nerves, your journey has only begun.

you said "if you think no progress has been made in Nigeria, you're probably a teenager"

DeepSight:
It is.

1. You can start a business in 48 hours in Rwanda. It takes 11.1 days on average in OECD high income countries.

2. Rwanda is leading Africa’s digital revolution. The Smart Kigali initiative will create access to free wireless internet on public buses, in hospitals, taxi parks, commercial buildings and restaurants, while a partnership with Korea Telecom is creating access to 4G for 95% of the population.

3. Between 2001 and 2012, real GDP growth in Rwanda averaged 8.1% per annum. According to the Fitch rating agency, Rwanda is experiencing ‘rapid and inclusive economic growth driven by credible economic policy’.

4. Rwanda has the world’s highest representation of women in parliament. 64% of Rwanda’s members of parliament are women.

5. A dramatic improvement in healthcare delivery and health outcomes has seen life expectancy in Rwanda rise by 10 years in the last decade. Over 90% of Rwandans have access to medical insurance.

6. Rwanda is one of the few African countries on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Net primary school attendance is at over 91%.

7. One million Rwandans overcame poverty between 2006 and 2011. Innovative homegrown development solutions have reduced poverty. For example, the Girinka programme, which provides every poor family in Rwanda with a cow, has reduced malnutrition, increased agricultural productivity and created small business opportunities.

8. In 2007, Rwanda became the first country in the world to legislate an outright ban on plastic bags. It is estimated that the EU produces 3.4m tonnes of plastic bags in a year, creating carbon emissions and dangerous waste.

9. On the last Saturday of every month, every Rwandan, starting with the President, participates in Umuganda, a day of national community service. Through Umuganda, Rwandans have built schools, medical centres, hydroelectric plants, and rehabilitated wetlands to create highly productive agricultural plots, and cleaned their cities, towns and villages – making Kigali one of the cleanest cities in Africa.

10. According to the Ibrahim index of African Governance, Rwanda is one of the only two countries to show consistent overall governance improvements since 2000. It is ranked number one in Africa for Gender, and is one of the top five most improved countries since 2000.

DeepSight:
I have not deviated from age. It is one of many factors.
Complexity and history are always important factors - whether you like it or not.

India has its challenges as well, up till today.
If you think no progress has been made in Nigeria, then you are probably a teenager.

I dont think you have the capacity to have a conversation with me.

you're just too immature and mediocre to hold a conversation with me.... You pointed climate, someone sighted examples of countries still doing well inspite of climate

You pointed heterogeneity and age, I sighted examples of countries still doing well inspite of heterogeneity and age...

Now you're telling me Nigeria is developing...

How??

From the increase in migration of doctors?

Or the 7000MW we've accumulated since electricity distribution started?. Egypt added 14000MW to their grid in 2017 and Nigeria has more resources.

Or is it from the deterioration of dollar to naira rate from almost equal in the 70s to 365 now?

Or from the gross insecurity?

Or from going from feeding public universities to now owing lecturers and going on strike at least once a year for the past 7 years?

In what aspect has Nigeria developed?


In fact thunder will strike you if you quote me again, you low-thinking, poverty-succumbing imp

krattoss:
I spent 2hrs+ reading from page 1 down to this last page.

I saw many gnashing of teeth, cursing and regrets and also unnecessary comparisons between Africa, Nigeria and europe/the world.
U see in this life, human wants can never be satisfied. In life, everyone mustn't be equal. Every hand ain't the same. Every level, has its own challenges.
Go to these whites countries platforms and see gnashing of teeths, complaints and dissatisfaction been exhibited there.
Even most of these 1st world nations tops in suicidal rates. I ve seen folks who sold all they have here to travel offshore only to start calling home for some funds and money.

Blame games is not taking us anywhere. Just love ur life, do what u got to do and be happy.

this the thing that alot of Nigerians do that I hate . . .10 persons goes abroad, 3 didn't make it and they start painting traveling abroad bad as if living in Nigeria is not worse..... Bros, let's talk about the more than 100 youths you know personally that are either unemployed or earning less than 250K a month......let's talk about our brothers that were killed in benue that nothing has been done till now.... let's talk about what happened in plateau this year about the death of innocent people that nothing was done due to the president's tribal sentiments....let's talk about herdsmen and the killing of innocent citizens......just like the selfish Nigerian that you are, you're not concerned cos those invloved in these killings ain't your family members or friends.....let's talk about looting, about rigging and how our votes does not count, let's talk about the obvious rigging that happened in Osun state and why voting is a waste of time cos Buhari would win next year's Election through rigging..... let's be very clear that even though Atiku miraculously wins he's no different from Buhari and that Nigeria will still remain a shithole....

Bro I was a pro Nigeria and still am, but I don tire, I'm frustrated cos I know me and you can't change the country

mosesdejaviano:

So true my Brother.

I don't know how a right thinking educated individual will support a program such as N-power.

Though what we call education in Nigeria is not education. What we call education in Nigeria is just schooling. And there is a great difference between schooling and education.

One may have five PhDs and still be uneducated. Education is a means to end in the schooling path.

Education involves three processes:
1. The Learning process,
2. The Unlearning process,
3. The Relearning process.
The three procedural path must be complete before one is can say he is educated.

But the clime we found ourselves, the education process stops at the learning stage, and that is why we hear, read and see a lot of things that emanate from the so called "educated".

No Logical and Critical thinker will support the crumbs or beggar money been given to the so called "educated" (N30, 000). While their kids and children live fat on the collective resources of the people they govern.

Their kids cannot spend N30, 000 in 2minutes, they all drive exotic cars that ranges in tens of million naira. They go to parties in attires valued at millions of naira. These kids spend lavishly and extravagantly. They don't school here in our dilapidated, unequipped, comatose University. They schooled in Ivy league Universities across the globe.

But after the so "called educated" pass through the stress of non functioning, glorified citadel of learning, they are given N30, 000 in form of empowering them. And the so called "educated" is comfortable with it.

There is a need for getting the real education. There is a need for re-engineering of the thought process of the so called "educated".

Thank you my brother, alot of Nigerians have very low standards . .....

codemaniacs:
black people do well in sports, medicine, engineering e.t.c... as long as they are in the right environment ( access to information and equipments) ...

Nigeria's problem is due to not allowing each ethnic nation take advantage of their resources...

someone that is frustrated economically can't think right... most Nigerians are frustrated economically this in turn affects their mental health, physical health e.t.c...

Northern Nigeria was joined to the southern part in order to frustrate the southern part economically and slow their progress...

Yes bro, alot of black people are brilliant and exceptional, countries like Kenya have a thing for Olympic medals in long distance races..... most Africans blossom outside the country......but Nigeria is bad, doesn't mean we shouldn't say the truth or we're looking down on ourselves . . .when we say we're bad I mean the uneducated almajiri who still votes on tribal and religious bigotry, the uneducated agbero that would collect 5K to rig . . . The police that would extort from you and protect theiving politicians....the Exodus of doctors from Nigeria and our underequiped stupid hospitals ....even your president travels abroad to treat malaria . . Power supply is epileptic, security is a joke and many more. . ..bro, ain't you tired?

DeepSight:
Well first and foremost if you have read most of what I have posted you will understand that no one is saying that age is all there is to this discussion. There are many factors at play of which age and time are just one.

Secondly don't be an idiott by attempting to compare Rwanda to Nigeria. Rwanda is not as big, dense or complex as a single senatorial zone in just one of Nigeria's states. It is absurd to compare the potential for sanity there to that which is probable with a complex giant like Nigeria. The Governor of Lagos probably has a more demanding job than the president of ten Rwandas put together.

Nigga please.

you deviated from Age and now using size as excuse, you're just too dull, did you consider that inspite the population Nigeria has alot more resources than Rwanda?

Below is what the prime of India achieved in the past four years to tell you that a leader that wants to change a country would change it.... India is more than a Billion that's like times five of Nigeria's population

DeepSight:
My dear, you are quite an ignorant person - I dont mean this as an insult - it is just the simple truth. Try to be more studied and scientific in your assessment of the development trajectory of nations.

By the way you seem to think I am making excuses for Nigeria - I am not. There is a lot we could do better and there are many things which are simply inexcusable about our state of affairs. A great many things. This does not however take away the fundamental truth about the sociological, economic, historical, climatic, commercial, political factors that situate a nations development trajectory.

For heaven's sake go to school.
The mere fact that you dismiss the age of Britain just shows how shallow your knowledge is. You had a clue what they have been through you would shat ap at once.

Age and all those rubbish you mentioned don't mean a thing, Ethiopia was never colonized, where are they now? . . earlier this week the king of morrocco and macron french president commissioned the fastest rail in the continent done with just $2BN but that $2BN is the least amount of politicians steal....

To use age doesn't explain why Rwanda in spite her civil war in 1994 is where they are today......Rwanda's private schools have closed down due to the advanced state of their public schools developed my Paul kagame, 65% of their legislative house are women, they achieved gender equality real fast too . .... healthcare is very affordable cos he subsidized it, this is a country that has no "Major" resources like Nigeria....Rwanda is the cleanest city in Africa, if you drop anything anyhow, a citizen has the obligation to report you and you would be fined....he banned the use of nylons, Rwanda currently does not produce nor use nylons cos of land pollution..... in coming years, Rwanda would match Europe....

Nigeria on the other hand 1british pound equal to 2 Nigerian pound in 1973(13 years old) just at the beginning of the discovery of oil, with good policies and commitment towards implementation that exchange rate could have been maintained but here we are today

codemaniacs:
you're talking about tribalism in a general sense not in terms of economic, financial e.t.c. they are also "in a way" obsessed about getting approval from white people... people that are tribal do not seek approval from any other group other than their own...

the same you are been a fake "realist" is you've been groomed that way and you don't even notice

goodbye..

you're just a backward thinker, how does "whites are better thinkers and intellectuals than us blacks"(a claim heavily supported with visible facts , even the fact that you're typing this shit with a 3G slow network and living in the poverty capital of the world) mean that he has low self-esteem or is craving white acceptance

Nigeria is a very bad country and alot of Nigerians are stupid...

We celebrate mediocrity alot, OP is talking about a road in Italy and someone that hasn't travelled abroad before is saying Abuja . .How heaven and hell take relate?... Even if there's one in Abuja, is Abuja the whole of Nigeria?

It's 2019 and campaign promises would still be "I'd build good roads" ,"I'd ensure 24hours power supply" . . .for Bleep sake, in Developed countries having good roads and 24hour light is like a basic human right just like Education....Alot of tertiary institutions in this countries are tuition free, some tuition even for international students, yet ASUU is currently on strike, our full Education budget is 108BN and Osinbajo stole 33BN, almost one-third of our budget and nothing has been done and would be done to him..... Gaduje was caught on camera by a journalist who risked his life for 2 years to get an evidence that Gaduje,Kano state governor is heavily corrupt, guess what? The judge ordered the stoppage of his probing and you think Nigeria is progressing

A journalist talked against an APC senator seeking reelection in Enugu state last week....the Senator used the "Nigerian police" to arrest him, handcuff him and flogged mercilessly with cane, he was later rescued by a senior PDP member.

A poor man climbed a mast protesting that he won't come down until Buhari leaves...guess what? He was brought down and detained...

We have no freedom of speech... I'm a 4th year medical student in UNIBEN with so many attempts at small small businesses failing.... I have 2 innovations in form of a phone application that I need just 300K to start, one addressing education, the other addressing mental health, I've applied for incubation hubs without being picked and I can't get a loan due to suffocating interest rate...if Nigeria was good, I can get the 300K which is less that $1K with credit card or a government agency working on innovation.... I'm being pressurized into joining my mates to do Yahoo each day but I keep resisting, my mates drive good cars, something I'd have been driving as a result of my hard work but hard work hardly pays in Nigeria...just yesterday a kid bought car for her SS3 girlfriend while I've not been able to give something worthwhile to my mum, I'm 20 though but still it breaks my heart...

It would take 9ja at least 3000years to become better. .not even a youth revolution would make Nigeria better, because the youths clamouring for Buhari are a bit below the ones clamouring for a better Nigeria...

If you protest, you'd be arrested and the rest of Nigerians would be silent...

Don't give me that entrepreneurship talk, Nigerians are just too mediocre...look at that fool that said Save Npower 30K, like seriously?? . . You deserve a job that's why you went to school, starting a business should be optional and a thing of Choice not something necessitated due to lack of job .. Americans always say, "go get a job" "go get a job" no one tells you to go start a business in America after you're done with school, it should be a thing of choice, you deserve a job provided by the government...

Don't give me that we're just 60years and Rome wasn't built in a day talk, that just stupid....when was Singapore built? ....Rwanda ended their civil war in 1994 here, now they are the leading country in Africa in terms of development.....how come in 1973 1 British pound=2 Nigerian pound . . .how come in the 70s till the early 90s government fed university student....things are getting worse, Nigeria is not getting any better . ..the earlier you realize it he better......

Senatorbee:
One of the the schools I applied to for Fall 2019 admission converted my 3.79/5 Nigeria CGPA to 2.768/4. Using their internal evaluation.
I guess these is too low and people who got below my Nigeria CGPA are always above 3.0/4 when converted by Wes or other schools internal evaluations.
Please what might be the causes of the low outcome

hello boss I want to do WES evaluation this week and I need someone to put me through the process, please can you be of help?

Timotee:
Simply call WES over the phone and clarify if your WAEC results are factored into the calculation of your GPA. They will be most happy to clear the air on it.

thank you boss

GboyegaD:
I would suggest you write to WES but normally, I don't expect them to grade it since there isn't any grade for the subject.

Thank you boss

100kobo:
You should bother about how to get your result evaluated. What if you were told it will be reckoned as F9, will you discontinue with the evaluation? WES evaluation procedure is enough headache. Don't add to it unnecessarily.

Yes I would discontinue the procedure because it would put my GPA below 3.0 and I'm applying for a scholarship where 3.0 is the minimum . .


So I'm asking again, would the one I didn't write be counted as F9?

Hello house I want to make enquiry on WES evaluation of WAEC results . . In my WAEC I registered 9 subjects but wrote 8 and 8 is the number of recorded subject on my WAEC certificate.... Now I want to do my evaluation, will the one I didn't write be counted as F9 for me during evaluation?
