As normal, many people here trying to express what they are not. This type of open-ended questions most certainly, attract lies.

histemple:
This points are absolutely true. No doubt. But while we ascribe the avoidable but pitiable unemployment rate in our nation to these excuses, It is my informed submission that all graduates are employable but the conundrum is identifying where such graduates are needed to fully maximize their latent potential. And based on this premise, it is a problem of lack of sufficient employment opportunities. Even in the best universities in the world, we still have dunce there and some of their graduates are also incompetent but that is not to totally exonerate some of our schools from the blame. Our curriculum needs to be reviewed because sometimes they load our brains with courses that are not related or useful to our course of study.
The university/college only guides an individual to achieve a well defined controlled behaviour called discipline but how far you develop yourself is entirely your own volition depending on how voracious you are for more information and knowledge. Thanks to the Internet.
Our government should create jobs for everyone because I insist that all graduates are employable in some areas across all the sectors of the economy including agriculture. Government should stop hiding under the cloak of unemployability to justify the lack of job creation.
Most importantly, while everyone can't be entrepreneurs, our graduates should consider self employment. Have you ever wondered why there is no employee in the list of the world's richest persons?

Good comment

The only thing I'll miss in Naija if I ever leave is our food. .. Our local foods dey sweet no be small


Then maybe naija craziness, you can bring your friends over to your house, drink, shout, dance with your music at the highest volume ... etc..


Meanyl, the poster above me has mouth odour, really choking me here .

I agree with the food aspect. I have seen many tins that oyibo say is food but me, I cannot eat it oo.

Rocking as in how?

Humour for the morning. Had a good laugh.

Taraba state is governed by the constitution. It is clear that there is ambiguity concerning the Governor's health and his fitness to rule. One would think that by now the instance of getting a medical expert to examine the governor by now, would have been settled.
In this light, the relevant clauses should be invoked so that a just and amicable decision be taken.

Each to his or her own belief. It is better to be faithful then when your time is up, you go to face God and realize there is no Heaven or Hell than to live a carefree life and later regret.

What is the rush? Parents, please allow your children to be children; they have no other chance to be children.

There is no all-helping principle or one size fits all in any issue concerning relationship. Do what seems right and what you both agree on; that should do.

double post

The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing

Come out of the things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singing

You are, you are...

Cold play is my favorite rock band, my best song from them is ... Clocks. Among the others I like are, Nirvana , Nickelback , Oasis , Linkin Park , Hinder , Paramore , Death Cab for Cabie , U2 , Deep Purple , Maroon 5 and Bon Jovi.

PSY is lucky. Gangnam Style is his compensation for all this time the world has silenced him.

Yes, there is growth but development is really slow.

I am having problems posting the full links so I have to just place in the website so all of you can navigate and see for your self.

Besides the quantum of problems, issues and social skirmishes like the Boko haram attacks here and there, Nigeria still goes strong with finances though our leaders still act clueless at times. It is no longer news that our leaders are aiming for a vision 2020 that will place Nigeria on the list-20 most developed countries in the year 2020. Could this be that we are truly heading that way?

The comments Buhari makes are so controversial and always violent. No wonder someone linked him with 'Boko'

So now, the thieves are free to steal as they like. I say sorry to our country Nigeria!

I thought Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has preached this sermon before. A government that has no clue, S M H!

Nigeria, what a country!

I av being courting my fiancee for 7 yrs now & we stil approach other like we jus met last two months cos d love and respect is stil there. I treat her wit care & love, wich has given her d confidence dat nobody xpect me. So matters on how u want your relationship 2 be like cos love & understanding really matters alot even in marriages u can easily get tired of each other within 6-12 months of marriage but if u 'r meant 4 each other, either courtship/marriage pple wil hardly knw u difference!

Couldn't have said it any better. I agree

Pat Utomi saw all this economic decay we are seeing today far back more than 20 yrs ago. It is comparable to say developing a jet engine in the 1st world war. That is pure ingenuity!

For every problem that affects man, it can be traced directly or indirectly to the family. That said, the society is like a conglomerate of different families. Education for instance can only be efficiently delivered to the taught if his immediate family he lives with gives some form of encouragement. Support in forms of paying school fees on time, the parents taking time to guide their children through the everyday learning and also psychological support i.e. helping the child conceive a positive mindset.

O levels or UTME or whatever exam has a standard in each of its subjects. It is not in believing that you have done your best and you very well expect to pass. How many Nigerian students take time to actually cover the syllabus. I don't subscribe to just studying because you are told. Find the interest and build on it

The teachers that are imposed on us as tutors are also not helping matters. I am not talking of 150,000 naira a term private school. Obviously, not many can afford that. You go to a so called public school and what do you see? The visible neglect of the government. Teachers who are deficient in their qualifications. For goodness sake, how can a college of education graduate who was forced to the school as a last resort deliver when the interest is not there. Education is now seen as a last resort of many ex-NYSC corps members who could not find befitting jobs.

The problem of bad grades is bigger than the students who become the victims. See the causes so visible. It is once said that Education is a slow way to make money. The youths of Nigeria may be misguided by believing in the get rich quick syndrome and trying to frolic in entertainment agents like TV, Video and PC games etc.

The government should try to increase the budget on education to something meaningful. No developed country abandons its education sector that is one reason, we would never get developed like this.

I mean no sarcasm but these two look like a manufactured commodity for sale. They are just too artificial

Women have done a lot worthy of recognition. See the link http://www.motherlandnigeria.com/women.html

the NFF should go ahead and write the letter maybe.

Singing the National Anthem or not does not stop the fact that the government in totality is not patriotic.

I can't believe this is still happening in Nigeria. I think it is time to pass a bill protecting infant house helps if none already exist.
