9jasite:I'm the guy that reported u.... Glad ur nonsense post has been brought down..... I hope the mods will go further to shut down this thread...... |
I really don't understand the intent of this write up, because it smears of great ignorance...... Kalu indika Kalu and Chu okongwu were the respective ministers of finance btw 1985 to 1990 when SAP was implemented....... Infact Kalu came from world bank to become minister of finance to ensure effective implementation of SAP....... Falae had a brief stint in that office in 1990 for less than a year and as at then SAP had fully ran it's disastrous course..... |
thesicilian:Is this not the same people that sold America out...... Business men that moved jobs to China and Mexico...... I hope I didn't make a mistake on this trump..... |
uzolexis:you dey mind them...... ask them to tell u one single device they'd ever designed...... bunch of lazy armed chair critics..... that's the only thing Nigerian youths are good at.... they don't even know that the internet browsing, GSM communication and live matches via DSTV they enjoy are courtesy technology from space exploration. |
fkdmods:U are very sick for ur silly attempt to justify extra judicial killing in the us. All those victims were murdered in cold blood by racist police officers..... They did nothing to warrant such disastrous fate...... Yet u can open your mouth to defend an armed robber caught in the act here in naija.... White man ass licker....... |

fkdmods:modern day extra judicial killings in america
|
fkdmods:whatever the period, it doesn't change the fact that the whites you guys love to worship engage in extra judicial killing in an unprecedented scale. They lynched blacks, whites, kids and women. at least I'm yet to see a mob killing of women or a child in Nigeria.
|
fkdmods:Americans equally engage in jungle justice......... They call it lynching and it's very much legal..... Over 5000 people were murdered via lynching...... And not one single person was prosecuted for participating in such atrocious acts.... It was an informal way of enforcing justice and social order in America and the citizens were very much happy about it...... Sometimes these mob break into police station or courts to lynch people they feel the judicial system may set free! U guys should stop painting whites as saints or pious, they are worse savages...... They are as devil as the rest of us..... |
I think he said he'll rule from trump towers..... |
Oh guys please....... Must everything be about food and hunger...... If u are hungry, get ur lazy ass off the seat and go look for work..... Stop blaming a king for your failure to achieve something meaningful with ur life...... The king is the custodian of culture and traditions and he's doing just that....... Direct your anger and frustration elsewhere and leave the king alone. |
rickkychidex111:Like how much |
PentiumProf:a progrom of lesser magnitude happened in yorubaland during his tenure as premier of the western region...... he cared less, he simply ignored it.... I'm sure he wouldn't be bothered if such genocide happened elsewhere..... |
PentiumProf:if u know the deep resentment this man had against zik and his ethnocentric appointments, u won't be here spilling rubbish...... it's a pity the Jan 1966 coup prevented Akintola and Ahmadu bello from enacting the notorious plans they had in stock for u guys...... |
ednut1:No, u are wrong. read this...... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Nigeria |
what I still don't understand is why she hasn't been arrested..... or am I missing something about the anti-gay bill GEJ signed into law..... |

modath:check alaska |
abbeyfel:obviously u failed to grasp the concept behind my post..... so are u saying if missionaries hadn't come, education n healthcare will be non existent in Nigeria....... and that was why I made reference to India.... I hope u know the colonial masters banned missionary work in northern Nigeria...... and that didn't stop them from having schools, hospitals n other western institutions.... remember they produced the first Prime Minister.... even in the south, majority never took the missionaries seriously until the white man used the gun to enforce n entrench his rule......... then it dawned on a lot of our fathers that the white man is here to stay n rule and it will be wise to learn his ways......... |
abbeyfel:Colonisation paved way for those things and not christianity........ The colonist introduced formal education and westernised healthcare system to all their colonies irrespective of the people's religious affiliation...... India embraced the above two but continued worshipping their idols......... |
MarieSucre:Are u an animal right activist...... because that is the only way u can justify ur stand..... Otherwise...... I'll conclude u are just trying to be more catholic than the pope........ |
MarieSucre:how about those that slaughter rams during their festivals..... I know Muslim's and Jews do slaughter animals and birds for their religious rituals..... and it's a common practice worldwide including advanced countries...... read about humane slaughter act in the U.S...... so if I may ask, how is this different...... or is it because its a dog........ u need to realize that some cultures eat dogs while some use dog for purpose that may seem disturbing to others..... Yoruba culture has been offering dogs to ogun diety since ages...... and there's nothing barbaric about that..... at least it was killed for a purpose..... unlike white people that hunt down animals just for fun...... 99% of animals that had gone into extinction was as a result of white man's cruelty..... they wiped them out simply for the fun of it...... they almost did the same to whales in the early 20th century until they borrowed themselves sense..... and that's what I'll call barbarism. |
martineverest:where is augmented reality replacing smart phones...... |

CNN)Most graduates of the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston have their choice of six-figure-salary jobs after graduation. But for one graduate, a different calling has meant he's sacrificed a comfortable life and taken a big risk to follow his dream: to open Africa's first STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) school in Nigeria. Nigerian-American Obinna Ukwuani, who grew up in Washington D.C., went back to Nigeria for eighth and ninth grades as his family felt it was important for him to know his roots. He had a revelation when he returned during his freshman year at MIT. "I met up with my peers, the friends and classmates I'd met during my time there and it was shocking to see how far behind me they were. It was a very real experience for me," says Ukwuani. The edge, he realized, was due to his schooling in the United States. The imbalance he recognized, he says, "was an injustice." "In the U.S., if you work hard, you'll be fine in this life. So I had that moment where I knew I wanted to improve things in Nigeria." Obinna Ukwuani is following his dream of opening a STEM school in Nigeria. Robotics boot camp Ukwuani's sudden realization eventually led to the launch of a robotics summer school in Lagos for high school students from 2012 to 2014. The Exposure Robotics Academy taught 113 boys and girls from 17 states around Nigeria how to code and build robots. The five-week residential program hired MIT students to mentor Nigerian high school students in a program sponsored by Shell Oil. Recently, a documentary based on the program, "Naija Beta", won "Best Documentary Film" at the Roxbury International Film Festival. He's hoping on repeating the experience with a new STEM school. Taking risks It's early days but initial investment for the school, to be called Makers Academy, is happening, and Ukwuani's sleepless nights are starting to pay off. "I really believe in what I'm doing," he says. After writing a business plan, Ukwuani spent five months shopping it around before four investors came forward, each offering a $50,000 investment. "It's a long-term model. It could be a decade before they get their money back," he says. Makers Academy Ukwuani believes Nigeria's biggest issue presently is that the country doesn't produce anything. "We import everything, and it comes back to education. We're not doing a good job," he says. He's hoping to change that. When the school opens in Abuja (he projects this will happen in 2018 or 2019), Ukwuani is aiming for 600 students living on the Makers Academy campus. Similar to himself, the students will possess a certain proficiency in mathematics and an aptitude for building things. "I was taking things apart when I was 10 years old. If you had purchased a remote control car, I would rip it apart and put it back together," recalls Ukwuani. The current economic situation in Nigeria could be a benefit, he says. The recession is forcing people to bring kids studying abroad back to Nigeria. "Now more than ever we need more options -- and we don't have them." Hopefully Makers Academy will be the first of many for Nigeria's youth. http://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/07/africa/nigerian-stem/index.html?ref=yfp

I think Africa's problem lies solely in the quality of our education, truth be told, it's very poor...... just like someone said....... the imperialists didn't come to develop Africa, but to subjugate, exploit and extract...... and to do that, they need assistance from some locals that will help in the implementation of such policies...... thus they needed to train n educate some of our fathers solely for the aim of furthering their interest in the colonies..... and that was exactly what they did, unfortunately that type of training or education wasn't sufficient to build and sustain a nation....... when our leaders took over, they never bothered to review the lame educational system they inherited from the white man, rather they retained and ignorantly further expanded it, building schools and universities that churn out graduates with certificates but no skill......... Initially it worked; although the quality was poor the quantity was also small. The country was also new, thus opportunity naturally cropped up without much sweat. Thus the limited number of opportunity available was able to accommodate the few graduates we had. The theme then was 'Go to school, get a degree and your future is secure n bright' As the population explodes and more and more people begin to acquire these certificates, it become obvious that the above theme was a mirage and it wasn't long before we found ourselves in multiples of 'home troubles'....... All the natural opportunities had been exhausted and it was time to work hard to create new ones.... Unfortunately, we were not trained on how to notice potentials, unlock it, sustain it and expand it for the common good if all. There was simply no connection between what we've been taught in school and challenges facing us as a nation..... And without a properly educated workforce, it wasn't long before Africa entered hibernation n somnolence.... Nigeria has been sleeping for only God knows when and only improvement in our educational system can wake it up...... The above is our main problem, not corruption, or nepotism, or epileptic power, or poor infrastructure, or civil strife, or insecurity........ all these are just the consequences of our inability to connect to our immediate environment and exploit it's potential.... the white man and his media will never tell u the truth because they equally share in the blame........ For a Third World nation to attain the status of a first world, the educational curriculum must be structured towards maths and science with emphasis on innovation, creativity and research with the aim of producing a highly skilled workforce. STEM is the key for any nation who seriously wants to accelerate it's wheel of progress among the committee of nations........ without STEM, a nation is forever stuck...... The educational curriculum must also promote the use of local technology to solve local problem tru the power of observation....... The educational curriculum must also emphasize the need to use indigenous languages as medium of instruction in schools at least up to secondary school level...... learning in school with ur mother tongue is the only way to achieve an effective universal basic education among the populace. It will also improve the way we think since we process our thoughts in our local language. This will improve our power of imagination and observation as well as enhance our performance in various skill application. how many of us can engage in an intellectual discussion solely in an indigenous language..... how many if us can explain or describe a task to someone else in his mother tongue without interjecting with English. Africa really needs to develop it's indigenous language, that's the language majority understand..... we really need to sit down n decide exactly what we want from our school system that will be relevant in this age n time...... enough of recycling outdated n obsolete educational system that benefits nobody...... One thing is clear, the world no longer rewards people just for what they know. Google knows everything. The world economy rewards people for what they can do with what they know. "Therefore, knowledge application n the creative use of knowledge should be the focus of our new educational curriculum and that should start from primary school.... even kindergarten self. |
GenBuhari:I don't think so...... ask the Chinese...... |
TheArchangel:Take a break from marriage...... Na so marriage be..... Come in and go out at will...... Pls let's be realistic in suggestions we give.... Or at least just shut up |
oluxy:I like ur submission....... It shows we have forward thinkers in our society......... There's no doubt that our movie industry needs serious rebranding...... They can help in improving the way our people think n change there perspective towards controversial issue in the society. Everything should not be about money, thus recycling boring n monotonous script over n over again. They should act as pacesetters....... At least that's what it's called......acting How about promoting fair treatment of women in their movies since most Nigerian men absolutely has no idea how to do just that...... |
freshdude99:Pele....... I know truth hurts..... but it's also sacred..... we can learn a lot from it...... |
freshdude99:an appointment he quickly reversed when the heat from the outcry became unbearable....... and point of correction...... CMD of any hospital worldwide is always a medical doctor....... that selective appointment isn't pathognomonic to Nigeria....... |
freshdude99:I'm from ijebu and we voted PDP in the last election...... 40% of Yoruba voted PDP in the last election...... SW and NC regions were the areas that showed a semblance of independent minded voters in the last national election.... |
