Why will i want to debar the progress of any student.
I'm not hateful either. I'm only trying to comprehend the disparity in the statistics from the two exams. Let's reward excellence and condemn flippancy.
so which is flippancy? Neco? How do you know?. You don't judge from the outside bro. Forget the disparity. Do you have any fact or documents to corroborate your assumption? The problem wit you people is that you easily take sides.

PoliticsFashola: A Man With A Well Spelt-out Blueprint by smithsammy(op): 9:29am On Sep 11, 2014
One thing I respected most about this man is his manner of analysis. he doesn't just know his game, he knows how to play it to the utmost. Through him, I see the true image of a leader. A leader with blueprint. He will not only tell you what he will do, he will tell you how he will do it. He met Lagos IGR at 6billion and had increased it to 30billion through creativity. To me, he his a role model. He is a salvage to Nigeria education. He is not taught in the harvard, etan, yale. He is a graduate of one of our indigenous university, and yet, he his respected all over the world. All plaudit to his alma-mata. Even if he is in the PDP, he would still achieve the same feet. This is not about party; it is about the wonderful man called Fashola. Lagosian will always reemember!.
EducationRe: States & Federal Governments Should Stop Funding Tertiary Institutions by smithsammy(m): 9:00am On Sep 11, 2014
I do not concur with you op. I presumed the owner of this write up is from ekiti - the most greedy and dubious people on earth. You are there searching for collar job while your mates are creating jobs through their creativity. I hate seeing the ekitians tagging their selves the most educated people in Nigeria when they have nothing to show for it. Only in Ekiti you will see at least 10 jobless graduate busy with the drafting of petitions and waiting for political appointment. It's only in Ekiti that they are taught to be an employee and not an employer.

Education is said to be a means of personal development - to know the rights from wrong. Education is said to help you make smart and creative moves. Education aids invention. Through education, you solve real life problems, but in ekiti state, contrary is the case.
News abounds of students from other state institutions creating, innovating, and inventing to make Nigeria proud. What has the so called institutions in ekiti state got to offer. Ekitians obtaining certicates to hunt for unavailable job since 1005BC

EducationNairaland Entrepreneurship Development Centre. by smithsammy(op):
Of the greatest, ever dynamic, and supremost Nigerian students!!!

Caveat: this thread is not for the immature minds/students, as all single words on this thread will count a great deal. Also, this thread is not expected to get a whole lot of traffic, as we all know that a creative and intelligent requisite thread like this don't always pull the crowd; because, it's a common knowledge today that we students of this days still believe that school education is the "end" itself.

Hence, this thread is strictly for the matured minds (students, business idealist, entrepreneurs, gurus/moguls, CEO(s), business teachers and lecturers alike.)

In the face of the up-surging unemployment rate raavaging our dear nation, so many schemes has been introduced to curtail the trend but all has barely materialised. The EDP - 'Entrepreneurship Development Project' was introduced into the curriculum of all the institutions in the country some years back. The purpose of the project was to stir the entrepreneurship spirit in our youths/college students to learn how to search for business opportunities and tap into them. But still, 'the former has kept on persisting without the expected later surfacing' which now pushed so many people who cares to think about the materialability of the scheme (of which I happens to be one) to ask if the scheme is really serving the purpose for which it was introduced?

Really, EDP is a widely and global accepted scheme adopts by all countries in the world to boost the entrepreneurship prowess of their citizens and the success recorded in all this countries are there for us to see. The seemingly failure of the scheme in Nigeria could either be: 1) there is shortcomings in the way it's being thought/inculcated, or 2)there is un-responsiveness, un-comprehension and non-applicability on the part of the students.

It irritates me to see graduates blaming the governments for their job un-securability. Now, the question is: A student who cannot generate a workable business idea for himself, how would he/she create jobs for the entire country if he/she were to be given a public post, probably governorship or presidential? Some people are complaining of lack of fund, but was it truly lack of fund? I asked a friend of mine not quite long that: "if you were to be given #500,000 today, what business will you use the money for?" And his response was: "let the money come first before talking about business" Factually, virtually all the successful businesses you see today were kick-started without money but with just mere ideas. So, it is always not about money but creativity.


Some people have sown, but they did so un-thoughtfully. Virtually all the businesses in Nigeria has been saturated. No one is willing to generate or kick-start a new business Ideas because of the inherent stress and vigorousity. Even, the technical works, or might I say 'hand works' you see today has been saturated to the extent that people are now alleged to be using jax - charm to get work and contracts this days. I became a plumber through apprentice - i passed through the informal route of becoming a plumber and I know what this illiterate Baba(s) do to get work (not all of them though.) So, when will we stop crowding at one spot and start creating new spots? A lot has been told about "packaging" as a means of standing out among many businesses/services, but is much really said about innovating, refining, and creating new business ideas to ease ourselves from all this stiff competition and struggles in Nigeria? Although competition is good, but in most cases, it turns one to a desperado.
Thanks to the advent of bead making, make up artist, and all other fashion stuffs that ladies now delves into; erstwhile, hand works suitable for ladies were not much. We only have little of them in Nigeria and that is: hairdressing, trading of building materials, Nursing, photographing, tailoring and some other few ones. Even for most of them who already had learnt one work/trade or the other, it is common to see them leaving their supposed professions due to low patronage and other factors going into petty sales of provisions and food stuffs. An interview with the provisions sellers, foodstuff sellers, and motorcycle riders - for their male counterpart would corroborate my point here.

Now the issue is: we need more new business and service ideas. We need to start businesses that will centres on meeting the needs of our people that are currently being met by foreign businesses/companies. We need to generate business ideas that will break into the global market and give all this foreign business owners a headache by producing what they had thought we can/would never be able to produce. Is it only a westerner or Asian that can produce phone, electronic, auto engines, computer? Why can't we? Even if it is to steal their ideas because that's how most of the Asian countries started, and now, they are potents to reckon. Even if the governments are not helping us, let us help ourselves. It is high time we stopped collecting fish and start fishing for ourselves as my greatest erstwhile alma-mata, Lagos State Polytechnic, would tell their esteem students. It's high time we stopped our: 'university students are greater than polytechnic students,' 'my alma-mata is greater than yours,' and 'my tribe is smarter than yours' and start collaborating to move this country forward.

As the students and graduates of this country, the onus is on us to create a better place for ourselves and our coming generation through our collective ideas.
In-fact, one of the best place to generate, create, and nurture business ideas is the school environment, where you have the erudite lecturers as mentor and your co-learned students/colleagues as business associates or advisers. They would not only be willing to contribute their quota into your productive idea, they would be willing to do so at a no-cost charges.
It shouldn't be about our individual survival but our collective survival. As the erudite, learned and literati of our great nation, the onus is on us to protect and better the lives of our education-deprived ones through our knowledge, skills and creativity.

Don't just sit down and watch that vision of yours become extinct. Come in and let's reason together. Let us generate and nurse that productive ideas together for the betterment of our country.

So, I, hereby declare this thread open for that revolution! Change!! Breakthrough!!!

9jagirl4re, to tell the fact, 'you are an educated illiterate.' I'm not affiliated to any of this parties, so, I'm saying this with all sense of objectivity. It's either you not a Lagos residence or you are just a sadist who doesn't know how to be happy even though when things are apparently ok. As I'm going to tell you that there's no law that bars one from criticising whom one doesn't like, but, as a learned person, it is a required of you to do so constructively.

I'm not here to rant with you. But, I need to tell you all what you wrote up there "could only be told by a 9jagirl4re" who doesn't know how to get her fact right - she doesn't do a verifiable research before misinforming "vulnerable" readers.

EducationRe: Unilorin SUG President Press Release About Increase In The Acceptance Fees by smithsammy(m): 2:41pm On Aug 31, 2014
oluwadanie1: Following the controversy that trails the incessant increase of the acceptance fee payable by the newly admitted student of the University of ilorin. The student Union boss Comrade Ishowo Yakub has spoken barely 24 hours after the provisional admission list as well as the acceptance fees was made available to the public on the university’s website.

Find his Update below:

Press Release from the office of the president,Student’s Union University Of Ilorin.

"Of the greatest Nigeria Students!!!

It was a shock when I checked the school site yesterday to see that the Acceptance fees for the newly admitted students is 20k, the first thing that came to my mind was,” is there anything the union can do? The reason for this question is, as provided in the constitution of Students’ Union, members of the union are all matriculated students of the university and the students concerned are non matriculated students.

However, we taught of taking a step further, by making enquiries from other universities on what they charge for acceptance it was discovered that,OAU is 25k,Funaab is 45k, Unilag is 25k ,UI is 20k to FUTMINA is 35k, to mention but view. Still we met with appropriate bodies of the university to know why the amount was decided,fortunately enough, we were made to know that the allocation coming to the universities has been drastically reduced by the Government which is a fact, and the university can not be smoothly develop except with the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

On this note, I want us to know that, the union will never be silent when justice is been denied. Because “INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE” and also the union will be so unfair to take any unjust actions,when we have every facts to act reasonably."

If this is coming from the SUG president of the "better by far" university (as they used to call it,) then what is better there? A very shabby and childish write up. Really, anytime, any day, I always look forward to reading press release from the OAU's SUG president. Frankly speaking, that dude's use-of-English is very proficient, and is speech and write-ups are always flawless. (I'm not an oauite though)

Dear junior applicants,

I wish you all success in the pursuance of your admission into the prestigious polytechnic. To those of you who have scaled trough the hurdles of the just conducted post jamb excellently, I say kudos! If there's one thing I can say about this school, I would say it is one of the best few polytechnics that Nigeria has got to offer, and as such, no stress will be too much to get into the school.
As a protagonist of hard-work and merits, I urge all the "would be admitted students" to strive hard to attain great feet in their academics. And also, you should all note that knowledge without creativity is useless. So, it is required of you all to be ideally creative and innovative during and after your studies. To all my fellow HND applicants, I wish us all success in our coming examination.

I have spoken!
EducationRe: You Lazy (intellectual) African Scum! by smithsammy(m): 6:45pm On Aug 10, 2014
hahahahha! our engineering schools are only breeding/training students to be an installer, operator, and maintainers of manchines/devices - not to invent and innovate.

I could vividly remember a time i asked a close friend of mine that why africans dont invent things and start solving our problems ourselve. His reply was: 'virtually everything has been invented, just google what ever you crave to invent or innovate and you see bunch of results displaying on your surfing device.' This friend in question is very smart, brilliant, and one of the big-dreamers i have ever mingled with. But such answer, coming from a calibre of his type, from that very day, passes into my heart, a hot stone and a great pity for my mother land.
