panafrican: Looks like in Africa once people graduate from university or own those big businesses, and start making big money, they don' t look back. They don' t donate to their former schools ( elementary school, high school or Unuversity). This is quite the opposite in the U.S. where most of the time people give back to the community .They offer scholarships to high school students or university. students.Some offer computers , TI Calculators, printers etc to their former high schools. We don't see thiat taking place in Africa .Most of the time we expect the government to do everry single thing when it comes to education.
In Kenya, Old Boys and Old girls of high schools do.
A 12 year-old boy made KES 25,000 (N 90,000) Making a simple static website for a motor sales company. Should children be encouraged to pursue programming courses at a young age?
kingola87: This shouldn't be happening in 21st century but as usual, a deaf hear will be turned to this. Imagine someone working from morning till evening earning 25,000 while the hr company or whatsoever will pocket one third of ones salary.
We have no mercy for ourselves in this country self.
You also have the opportunity of starting a HR Outsourcing company where you'll only pocket 1% of the Salary.
peterswagg: This is heartbreaking.After working tirelessly to earn a certificate only to be employed by `two’ firms and be paid a meager amount of money.I don’t understand how Nigeria works,it seems as if no ministry,body,force and even unions is doing anything like what the Bleep is labour union doing.Everyone is indeed a criminal.
Why don't you work tirelessly and start your own company and employ people on permanent and pensionable basis?
Sometime back, there was a video of Kenyan prisoners receiving lessons that would help them after prison life. As is typical with many nairalanders who delude themselves that Nigeria is the giant of africa, one person boasted that Nigerian Prisons are better than Kenyan prisons. I said what i believed to be true "Maybe its because Nigeria values its criminals more than it values its students" Now I know. Nigeria is a true $hithole of Africa. What kind of nonsense is this?
wizmikeee: the only thing that made Japan great today is EDUCATION. Africa our education systems sucks. many Nigerians say Ghana has good education system but the truth is our education sucks. I'm a Ghanaian live and schooled here. Go to Japan if you to see any 12 years Japanese kids using calculator almost all the kids have laptops. we are here debating Ghana Nigeria Kenya who's poor and have big gdp hypocrisy
Big lie. Japan's success is not from the "Education" you're referring to, but from Culture.
winningwinner: Hmmmm! Most of the replies I get for expressing myself on this platform have left me confused. Thanks to the few people that truly understand my plight to offer advice. The mistake has been made and no one is above mistake. I take all the blame, but I'm sincerely tired of the whole thing. I want to quit. Finding a well paying job now is not very easy. I need divine intervention.
Your girl loves you i believe. Maybe she too is facing pressure from her dad. Have you told her what you feel?
We don't harvest heads for money rituals We don't practice 419 scams We don't have generators in very house Our power company answer when questions are raised about inflated bills - and corrective action is taken immediately Our soldiers don't invade police stations and beat up police offices Our IGP doesn't have transmission issues Our president does not argue with his wife publicly because of the oza room
Only a country of mentally unstable people can have such issues - and we know which country it is
Toptipster: Those are the bordering questions. I was concerned about the nerve connections too. Is clinical union still possible?
It seems that you are a doctor. Here is a video explaining the procedure. These are the same doctors that re-attached the hand of a boy a number of weeks ago. They have explained that the Nerve healing will take about six months
One thing Nigerians should be worried about is that Armies that are bullies and spend their time beating up civilians, are generally useless armies. Iddi Amin of Uganda used to have a very ruthless army that tortured and killed civilians all the time. But when they faced an enemy with weapons, they ran away very fast.
mrphysics: Your Theory works for government employees. Buy let's assume it is true, let me enlighten you on how PAYE is calculated.
N200000 and 20% of her total annual salary is deducted from the her total annual salary to give what is called consolidated taxable income.
It is from there that 7% of the CTI is taken for the first N300000 of the CTI.
since her pay is low, if we remove the Consolidated Relief Allowance given by government which is N200k + 20% of her annual income. Then nothing remains.
Which in this case, her PAYE is 1% of her annual income.
Since when did people start calculating tax on "High" and "Low"? Is that how you calculate tax for your clients? Tax is calculated on specif amounts: 150,000, 258,369 and so on. Not lows and highs
There is something about this story that doesn't add up. So 16 Nigerians cannot afford 32,000? That's about 2,000 per person? Why can't the nigerian students studying in Kenya fundaraise for them? They need the government for this?
Furthermore, you cannot be taken to prison for going to the police station; the most they can do is to take you to the Cells and later to the courts within 24 hours, or the next weekday (If arrested on Friday or weekend.)
biztip: there is this thread on nairaland showing how Kenya is ahead of naija development wise. why is their prison looking worse than d type seen in naija
Could be you take better care of your criminals than you do to your university students who live in dungeons
Doctors at the Kenyatta National Hospital (Kenya's largest public hospital) have successfully reattached the severed hand of 17-year-old Joseph Thairu from Kiambaa, Kiambu County. Thairu's arm was accidentally cut off while cleaning a chaff cutter. He had just finished feeding their cows
The highly delicate procedure lasted seven hours. It involved a multidisciplinary medical team made of surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, anaesthetists and nurses. According to Ferdinand Nangole who was part of the surgery team, the procedure involved cleaning the wound, identifying structures such as nerves and shortening the bones.
Thairu was taken to KNH more than 10 hours after the accident happened. It took doctors one and a half hours to identify the structures in his arm.
NHIF will help out with a good chunk of the costs since a typical operation would cost an average of Sh1.2 million (Naira 4,285,440.00) in the KNH private wing. Doctors suggest that a severed body part should be sealed in a plastic bag and placed on ice. Direct contact with the ice can cause frostbite and damage the tissue, and suspending severed body parts in water has been shown to make reattachment more difficult.
The first step in reattaching a body part is to restore blood flow by reconnecting the arteries. For the procedure to work, the severed tissue must be alive, and the severed arteries must be large enough to manipulate using microsurgical techniques.
In 2013, doctors in China had to keep the hand of a man alive for a month by attaching it to his leg before they could reattach it to its normal position again. Zhou’s hand was cut off by a drilling machine at his workplace.
After the accident, doctors were unable to reattach the hand immediately because the damage was too severe. The surgeons grafted the hand onto Zhou’s lower leg just above his Achilles tendon and connected it to blood vessels in the region so it could stay alive while the healing process began.
In November 2016, surgeons at KNH successfully separated conjoined twins in a 23-hour operation. The girls, named Blessing and Favour, were born in September 2014. The surgery took two years of meticulous planning due to the complex nature of the areas shared by the twins. The girls were joined at the lower back.
