IamDavid:
Hi people, I just graduated with a 2.2 in one of the sciences. (CGPA 3.3). I admit that was due to my carelessness. Recently, I have this strong ambition to become a university lecturer and rise to the peak of my career.

Now, these are my concerns. What are the chances of getting a lecturing job (after I might have gotten my PhD) considering the 2.2 Bsc result? Or it
doesn't matter once there are higher qualifications?

Is it worthwhile to sit for JAMB again and start all afresh? I'm still in my mid twenties and the drive is high. I know I can do it, but is it necessary / worth it?

you want to start afresh? Instead of starting afresh, go for masters . But enquire from your lecturers and past PGD students if one can be employed with such grade. Look before you leap.

Congrats miracle Governor

Happy married life, the paperboi crooner.

I said so there na, just like Dostoevsky who is a Christian too. I haven't really done my homework on him. I'm only well versed in atheistic existentialism not the theistic one.

okay, go and study "sickness unto death" and "either/or" you will understand kierkegaard's existential beliefs.

SegFault:
(I advise christians to keep off from this thread)
"Existence precedes essence" this is a quote by one of the greatest French philosophers to have ever touched the face of the earth, Jean-Paul Aymard Sartre, and one of the four leading philosophers of existentialism alongside Sørren Kierkegaard, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche. But what does it really mean, to understand that quote we have to go back to the times of the great Greek philosophers, Plato in particular.

Plato believed that man has an essence before existing, that is what you might call destiny, and man must rise up to achieve this essence and must live along with it, it's just like a knife which is made to cut things, the essential part of this knife is the blade, when the blade is taking off it is no longer a knife, the knife has no choice but to live up to this essence. This is how Plato viewed us as humans, this was of course the standard until around the 19th century when people like Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky's writings went against this popular notion, they believed that man is born without a meaning in life but we ourselves find this meaning by ourselves. Now this sounds utterly weird especially for those that believe in a god or gods that set and arranged the universe, but I would like to note that Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky were strong Christians, though most existential philosophers are atheists these two father's of the school of existentialism were Christians, but why would they believe in such, I can't say because I haven't really gone into their writings so I advise you to do that if you'd like to move further. Now back to the matter, how does our existence precede our essence, I'll try to explain why this is so, I am not forcing my thought upon you I'm simply explaining this (because someone asked me last night).

(sorry I had some things to do, couldn't risk the app closing and this whole epistle going to waste).

[center]The non existence of a God figure[/center]
Now, let's face the fact, there is no such thing as a god or gods amongst us, I'll give you some questions which disproves the existence of a god figure:

1) Can an entity or an object force itself into existence?
This question stems from two laws theists use to prove that a god figure exists which is "for each object there is a designer" and "every being, entity or body has a beginning", they would say a chair exists because it has a designer (forgetting that wood exists before it becomes a chair), this law they claim therefore proves that an ultimate designer exists, but wait since there is a designer and this law exists who made this designer, then some of them claim that it is beyond human understanding (forgetting that they established this law with human understanding) or they might claim he always was or he existed from nothing, all these excuses point to one question, the one above. How can this being exist without a designer, there is no proper answer to this question and if he indeed is an exception to this law of being, why is he an exception, take for instance "every free moving object that is thrown up must come down", in space this law doesn't hold because of the lack of gravitational pull, for every law that has an exception there must be a valid and provable reason for this exception but unfortunately this being has no reason for being an exception, anything could have been an exception but why this one god figure. And if it is an exception how do you know?

2) If a being is called omnipotent and omniscient, can this same being do something he is unaware of? Now imagine a being that knows everything about anything in existence, including he that lives in this box of existence, because he is all knowing and that same being can do anything, can he do something he is not aware of? If yes, then he is not omniscient, if no then he is not omnipotent and these two qualities are the qualities of a standard god figure without one of them he is no god.

3) If there is an omnibenevolent being why is there evil? I am not talking about the evil that stems from the freewill of man, I am talking about the evil wreaked on us by nature and other organisms. If this god figure is so good, then suffering is not meant to exist, walk into any hospital and experience the suffering people go through, if a God exists who is all good why does this suffering and evil exist?
These questions terminate the possibility of the existence of a god figure, and if you suggest that a god figure is above human understanding, then that means you'd be lying to say that a god exists because it is this same human reason and understanding in the first place you used to establish the existence of a god figure.

hello, you need to study Soren kierkegaard's works before you classify him in the league of Nietzche,Satre,et al. Kierkegaard was a passionate christian existentialist unlike the others.

I remember back in the days, i like it when RSTV show this man's song" dim oma sini no obi" the man and his dancers were so thrilling to me during my childhood days. Happy birthday sir Bright chiemezie

Amaechi is the best governor of Rivers state, no doubt about that. As a minister, he is yet to replicate such feat we've known him for in Rivers. Compared to other ministers in PMB's cabinet, Amaechi is one of the best.

Lia mohammed is the federal minister of lies. He did the job so well that he was retained.

Ishilove:
Seems Khal is not an alpha male. Mine was an alpha, very ugly, very aggressive to outsiders and very territorial. Despite the fact that our cleaner had been visiting since he was a wee pup, he always barked up a storm that could be heard all around the neighborhood anytime she came into the compound. As long as you are not a member of his family (us), you are his enemy. As he grew bigger, he graduated to running to the gate and shaking it with pure menace when strangers knocked at the gate. Even when he was dying of poison, he still managed to mark a few areas in the compound before crawling under the vehicle and falling into a coma. He fought with death for close to 24 hours and even in a coma, it took two people to restrain him as he fought and cried in pain.

It's almost a month now but water still comes out of my eyes (like now) each time I remember Gift. He did not deserve the way he died. He loved and protected us with a single minded fierceness.

The last pic is him in a coma in the early hours of the morning. He died at almost midnight of that same day. My heart still bleeds.

But gift(the dog) killed margaret(the hen).

dukeprince50:
let's assume u are right, why would she forcefully take a mic from a sitting governor, who gave first lady such a power? Even a president does not have the right to take mic from a sitting governor. She is appointed, Amaechi was elected.

what she did was so disrespectful. She incited the GEJ vs Amaechi rancour. Furthermore, the soku wells ruling in favour of Bayelsa caused infighting among Ijaws. Soku is in Rivers while did they ruled in favour of Bayelsa?

dukeprince50:
haha, Amaechi works was felt in all 23 local govt areas, he was just against goodluck cos of what Good luck did to Rivers(carried one of its oil well and gave to Bayelsa). Amaechi didn't fight any other politician except Goodluck, even Patience had the guts to slap Amaechi, can she do that to her husband? Amaechi was the best leader Rivers state ever had, argue with ur last born

that is true but patience did not slap Amaechi in Okrika rather she forcely took the mic from Amaechi. Amaechi was talking about demolition of waterfronts.

Calm down and focus on your exams, that's what you should do. I remember Rsust back in the days of prof. Fakae administration.[/quote]

Thecreatorx:
Ok everyone, I study Engineering at Rivers State University and we've been scheduled to resume academic activity on 5th of October, we are basically resuming straight to exam halls and right now I just feel so disorganized, I'm an above average Student within the 70-75% range, if I say I'm excellent then that will be a lie, I need to study very hard to get an A and sometimes I still end up with B's.

I have been studying from time to time at home but honestly I've forgotten a lot and this resumption news has just disoriented my calmness, I feel so tensed and scared. my cgpa now is 4.02 and I was planning to get a 5.00 this semester, I started very serious and was even a course rep but now all that motivation has died and I'm struggling to devote my self to reading, please you guys should help me, maybe tell me ur experiences and how you graduated with first class despite ur lack of motivation.
Yes first class is my goal, even if first class isn't everything, it's just a necessity cuz I'm the first born and my younger ones look up to me for motivation and my parents too trust me, but now I feel lost.

Please help

Hi Nairalanders, pls I need your help on this matter.
Pardon my grammatical errors.

Am a 400 level student (of one the top ranked Federal University) on a 5year programme. As at 300 level second semester my overall CGPA ( i.e my CGPA from part 1 to part3) is 2.6 and funnily enough i didn’t have any carryover from part 1 till date.
My issue now is that is there any possibility of graduating with second class upper (2.1) at all.

People who have encountered the same difficulties during their undergraduate days and still graduated with good grade should please come to my aid.

Ur advice will be greatly appreciated.

Caveat
Still have 4 semesters left (part 4&5 1st &2nd semester)

after 6 semesters, you can only end in 2.2 that is if you work hard so you don't have any C/O in the remaining 4 semesters. This is the sad reality.

Hi fellow NL,
Pls shun my grammar errors.

I'm very much confuse about the course I was given as totally against my choice. I graduated from secondary school since 2014, since then I've been seeking for admissions to tertiary institution (University) with Good UTME scores but admission wasn't forthcoming, mind you my choice of course from day1 was Political Science and Theatre Art as second thoughts (but all my times of writing UTME my choices were always Political Science).

After Series of writing UTME I never gave up while I'm already 24 while my mates from sec school were preparing rounding up their NYSC (although that was never bordering me as expected) so I sat for the 2019 UTME examination, as usual I scored very well, 220 precisely but this time was admitted to a federal university distinguished one but not my Choice Of Course Political Science to Adult Education, although I was happy to see myself finally admitted proceeded with every registration and payments, even attended lectures before the Covid-19 break, now here's the main koko this is my first time of hearing of such course, I'm presently trying to know what kind of Job one is opportune to with degree from this Course, I'm presently trying to check if I should go for a change of course later on or know the necessary opportunity in it so I could add it to my list of tomorrow's vision.

Pls advice a brother, a Son and a Friend Thank You.

Pls Mods help me to push to Front Page. Plssssssssss����

adult edu, special edu, primary edu, et al have few students unlike the Social sciences courses that a lot of applicants applied to. I opine that if your passion is in political science then try and change to political science education in dept. Of educational foundations.
