, I meant general averages (in the new GRE), for bright engineering grads from US schools.

Nchara:
Okay. Of course those are islamic countries and you expect no less.

I met a 70 years old American man recently and we got talking. He asked if I was Igbo and I said yes and he replied '' I knew it once I saw you''
He told stories of Nigeria and Biafra war and the Igbos
He had worked on a malaria program in Kaduna in the 70s and had travelled Ibadan, Lagos, Kano, Jos, Enugu and Calabar among other places extensively
He is just one among thousands that hold the same opinion
In Europe (may be apart from UK as you said) the name Nigeria is synonymous with Igbo.

This has nothing to do with language or traditional attire.

I'm yoruba I'm dark shiny black and my sister is light skin black . I don't see no difference coz black is black. even in europe white ladies find dark skin black man attractive than light black. My white british partner told me once d more u are dark d more u are sexy.

Everybody is busy speaking grammar. Even physicists sef.

2 years ago it was Musiwa

Last year it was Dapo bear

This year Gbawe

Heh.

Kats is one of the best posters on this forum, period.

Many of you taking shots at him or who have taken shots at him in the past bluntly speaking are not fit to even wipe his azz.

Quality and talent shines, no matter how much haters and malcontents may try to deny it.

Neither of those who have fired shots in this thread would even dare try him in an argument. . . you'd both be owned.

I'm currently reading a book first published in 1875 and found a quote from the book.
The author was complaining about lack of ideal or perfect women. All the women about town were fake.

Obviously Some Nairalanders are not well schooled. Most of Us felt she was wrong, A good Nairalander quickly "cleared the air" , still some Dumb Nairalanders are still arguing.

SEFAG, you are smoking harshish, the average age for an MBA is certainly NOT 25 - 26. its actually 28-32

I think you're just debating for talking sake,  it has become apparent that you do not know what you are talking about.

Shola2009:
^^ i wouldn't say EMBA and MBA are miles apart. But, the difference is pretty clear.

@poster,
If you have the 40M just lying around,then getting an MBA from Harvard is a no brainer oo. . .Although,ill recommend you spend the 40M on Wharton, Pennsylvania instead.

Its pretty simple,you give 40M and you definitely make it your 40M the following year.After that its smooth sailing.

Now,the koko is if your 40M MBA would be relevant in Nigeria. The answer is NO! . . . .Like most people have said, most people get those MBA for networking purposes.There's no use in getting it,if you're coming straight back to Nigeria na. But if you intend on residing in the States,then spend the 40M.

kapish?

Soyinka is an atheist, and an atheist has a moral compass equals to 'zilch' or 'zero' so taken what he says wholeheartedly or seriously must be frowned upon. Give those 'gays' an inch and then they will take a mile. That cancer of sodomy must be kept at arms length and under wraps in our shores, so that we can concentrate on other major and important issues that affects our society without being enmeshed in the intricacies and the rather unpalatable thought of what gay-ism is all about.

As it were, Our sensibilities have already being bruised by discussing such abhorrence, the earlier this dastardly act is tucked away the better for many who never knew it ever existed. Our people are in the dark ages when it comes to compunction to this kind of social malice and it makes sense for them to remain there.

AjanleKoko:
Still one way thinking.
Your mind is wired in that MBA-to-finance-or-consulting-in-US direction.

What we have been saying since is, what is the use of spending all that money, if at the end of the day, your objective is to return to work in Nigeria?
What value or meaning does the Harvard brand or contacts to Nigerian firms like Dangote or Glo?

You might need to go to Harvard to get your foot in the door in the US, but in Nigeria, it accounts for very little. Trust me, if it had meant that much here, a lot of us would have found the money and gone, a long time ago. A lot of the FT Top 10 MBA schools come to Nigeria to do direct marketing. Harvard, London Business School, MIT Sloan, Wharton, Kellog . . . I have been invited to, and have attended quite a number of their executive MBA selling sessions over the last 5 years. No big deal, a lot of them don't even ask for GMAT for executive MBAs. They only want your money. Some of them are even using local direct marketing agencies to target lists of Nigerians in middle and senior executive management.

This may be a stale link, from HBR no less. I reviewed it a while back, and I'm sure many people have seen it:

http://hbr.org/web/extras/100ceos/1-jobs

It's remarkable, when you look at that list (of 100 top-performing CEOs), six of the top ten, and the top 3 in fact, don't have MBAs. Not that they don't have other masters degrees, just that they don't have MBAs. Forget Jobs who is now dead, companies like Samsung, Amazon, Gazprom don't have MBA-minted CEOs.
