I'm afraid your post unviel your low understanding of what quality means in education or perhaps what it means to set a standard. There's nothing like "free to set a standard" it has to be based on several conditions i.e quality of students, standard of learning, etc.

A bit true.

For Every Ones Information: Harvard University is known to graduate at least 60-70% (Rumored) of honors student in its undergraduate. That means in a class of 2000 students, 1400+ have a second class upper and above. Tell me about dashing grades

The Igbo don't think themselves as better or superior. Rather, they just don't see themselves as being synonymous with others. Even between and among the various Igbo groups, there is emphasis on Igbo heterogeneity. It isn't a matter of superiority.

I think some igbos do especially those I have seen on NL. I have even heard talks of the igbo gene

Typographical/Programming mistake

So has anyone thought about harnessing the gold- like what do you need to start a mine. All this tribe talk na story. Oyibo man would set up shop soon in the SW and start a Gold company. Before you know it, this oyibo man would be on the list of richest people in the world on your own sweat. Una still dey here shouting about who was educated first

skyone:
DEC. 2005 at the Barbican Centre we were 23 students that gained a 1st class honours at LMU school of business and that's apart from students who were awarded the same honours from other discipline.


Therefore no big deal in first- class.

Is that london met?

I am still shocked at the small number of first class holders in Nigerian Universities. Why do they make it so hard?

Well bring a counter example and stop all this english. More:

Thanks

PS: The large majority of Nigerians in Unilag were yoruba and are still yoruba. Yeah he got his undergraduate in Nigeria.

Mekusxyz, check out the famous Ayodele Awojobi, one of the first african engineers:

More coming for your pleasure

The problem is not with him spending that type of money on his child. Its about what impact would have on his son's psyche. How do you expect his son to view money and hardwork if the son is getting $360k maybacj? Do you think his son will try and be an engineer vs. a hiphop mogul? Agreed engineers are poor, but what i am trying to say is that his son's respect for hardwork would be diminishing by the minute since he can depend on his father for money.

Okoromado boy

I like this new name for mekusxyz

Seems a lot of people have school inferiority complex

Unilag is better than delsu (made prolly by a unilag student)
Delsu is better than unilag (made definitely by a delsu student)

ChinenyeN:
A society has a right to self-preservation.

Society

1. Even though they spout "tolerance", they're extremely intolerance of people who don't necessarily fall in line with, or agree with, or think contrary to their liberal mentality (more especially evident in talks of sexuality). They also seem intolerant of a society's right to self-preservation. Liberalism nowadays seems like cultural, moral, and economic socialism

Do you think the Ku klux klan should be tolerated or the British national party? If all views contrary to liberalism are given free rein then there really would be no freedom in the world. Of course liberals of to be intolerant of other views especially ignorant views . Speaking of right to self-preservation- what would you say if a white supremacists tells you that non-white minorities cause a lot of crime in western societies and have low literacy levels and such, and so these minorities should be segregated from them or not even allowed into western countries. The supremacist provides statistics- there are statistics I can assure you, and then this supremacist further states that "europeans"  have a right to cultural self-preservation and that no non-white should be allowed into western countries.

What would be your response? It seems perfectly logical to me  , except I am black of course LOL. They do have a right to preserve their culture dont they? Or are things a bit different because this scenario excludes people like you and you do feel some indignation and "moral" outrage but you have previous agreed about self-preservation.

What about Eugenics? Should short ugly unintelligent non- blue eyed and non-blonde people be removed from  the gene pool so as for some culture to preserve itself. Or do these people have a right to live based on their humanity alone?

Hence the major problem with claiming a moral law- supposed moral law is subjective and not based on Objective rational precepts.


No, Society's right to preservation does not in anyway trump its right to preserving the autonomy of its social units- its individuals.
