You are just a Kid that knew nothing but reaping from where you did no so

Ajebutter keep shut[/quote]So at your age your written English is this poor?

What exactly am i 'ungratiful' for? At least i imagine you meant to say 'ungrateful'. I certainly do not owe gratitude to YOU, i express my gratitude to my parents all the time and my gratitude to my country is reflected in my taxes.

If you'r stupid enough at your age to believe anyone who went to a university must be an Ajebutter, i don't know what to say to you. But i imagine my former roommate (Fidelis) who used to soak gari and fish head to survive will not agree with you.
Neither will my friend Lauren who lost her parents yet went on to become a successful medical doctor.


Why do you refer to yourself as 'We'?! Multiple Personality Disorder is a serious mental illness.

mikkyphp:
See, to all of you thinking that the interest rate is yearly, how many of you have actually been to inquire at the banks in question?
you don't just sit there and assume it should be per annum.
As i was speaking to the customer care consultant, a marketer breezed by and chiped in, he said "your guarantor can service the monthly interests pending when you come back, so that it wont be burdensome on you"!
When i was told the interest rate, i raised my voice, and they emphasized MONTHLY!
Think of it also, if it's annualy, why is the payback period measured in months? - 42Months!

please check your facts right before you post.

don't be an idiot. My friend was over at the Bank to sign up for the loan. It's yearly!

Guk:
QUESTION: HAVE WE FUNDED LOCAL UNIVERSITIES WITH ANTHING CLOSE TO THESE FIGURES ANNUALLY?? SO WHY WONT WE HAVE UNEMPLOYABLE GRADUATES?

Do the students need to fund the Nigerian universities with these figures before we improve our educational sector?
These fees are usually from Post Graduate students. The funding obtained from Undergrads, what benefit has accrued from it?

Bawss1:
Bank loans are like you guys have described and more in virtually all countries! They make slaves of those who take em

Post Graduate degrees usually give an individual a far better chance in the Nigerian Labour market. It's usually the case that Msc holders (especially from good foreign schools) get decent jobs. It's a gamble that usually pays off, so once the Msc hlder starts working, he can easily pay off the loan.

Many of my friends that did a Msc in Oil & Gas in the Uk are working for Oil companies. is it that class of person that will find it difficult to pay back the loan?

It's an investment. As with all investments there's an element of risk.

@poster
exactly my point,the duo of united kingdom supported by unied states are spitting their bib out because the deal between them and mugabe s gone sour and he chased the tenants out, they ll always interfere when they r protecting their interests either directly or indirectly

All you talk about is
1. US and UK
2. Mugabe as a hero
3. US & UK interests



NOTHING about the millions starving in zimbabwe. Nothing about the tens of thousands running off to South Africa to eke out a living and in the process being victims of the wave of xenophobia. Nothing about the zimbabweans living on international aid. Nothing about the thuggery, the reported deaths of opposition supporters due to state sponsored violence.
NOTHING to show you care about the welfare of your fellow black man.

Now who's the traitor?

[quote author=Hnd-holder link=topic=126955.msg2418132#msg2418132 date=1214397310]You are just a poor boy of yesterday who knew nothing of what we are talking about here. Do u want want those that are not as lucky as yourself financial wise or parental wise who decided to have a taste of technological education as alternative to die?This was not the pattern in other world even third world NAMIBIA to mention a few. Keep your mouth shut if you have no reasonable thing to say here.[/quote]Don't be stupid.
Instead of asing me rhetorical questions and raining unfounded insults you should ask yourself if i've said an untruth here.

Did you not know what you were in for? Don't give me that financial line bullshit. How much did the JAMB exam cost then?
I met many people who were really broke in my university, but somehow they had the courage to soldier through.

It matters naught what they do in Namibia. What matters is what obtains in Nigeria, and as far back as i can remember the discrimination between HND and BEng was in place.

I doubt it's monthly.

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=145018.msg2419586#msg2419586 date=1214411380]I feel the drift of your sense of reasoning in a way. If not for the white farmers (20% population-80% land ownership) saga, Britain et al, would not give a rat-arse regarding the leadership tenure issue in Zimbabwe. Rwanda, Sudan, Ivory Coast, are a few countries that comes to mind.[/quote]So where were you when the international community was mediating in the Ethiopia-Eritrean war? Where were you when international peacekeepers landed in Darfur?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECOMOG
In 2003 ECOWAS, under pressure from the United States, launched a similar mission named ECOMIL to halt the occupation of Monrovia by rebel forces as peace efforts were ongoing, during the Second Liberian Civil War. Always intended as an interim force, it was quickly succeeded by the United Nations mission UNMIL.

Sometimes it pays to be objective.


There were Agriculture graduates in Zimbabwe. There were people who had worked with these white farmers for years. Even if you'd take the land away, why not give the land to blacks with the expertise to farm these lands?

Instead Mugabe gave the farms to combat veterans with ZERO farming experience, condemning his people to suffering several years later.

People are starving in Zimbabwe and all you Traitors can do is to try to score political points.

landis:
When the going was good, Queen made Mugabe a Knight of British Empire.

Can we ask Queen why was this done?

Because they provided weapon for him to fight Ian Smith, who was going to shame the last of British Empire.

How times has changed.

You've made this point over and over. Yes, people change. So what?
When the going was good was Abacha not a 'hero' of the federal republic of Nigeria (after allegedly masterminding the defense against Orkar's coup)
Mugabe chose a path fro himself, choosing to cling on to power perpetually. From being a hero of his people he's now a distrusted and feared figure.


But i don't care about all this. You see, despite the fact that you guys snigger and sneer and call Kobojunkie names like 'uncle tom' and 'house nigger' you fail to realise one thing. He's shown far more concern for his fellow blacks sufferingin zimbabwe than you have.

For you, this is a political issue, an opportunity to score some cheap jibes against the west.

For decent African brothers, we see suffering in zimbabwe. Suffering and starvation in a fellow black nation brought about largely by Mugabe's thuggery and lack of common sense in destroying his country's capacity to feed itself.


Choose what you want. on one hand you have politics and cheap jibes. on the other hand you have suffering. I think i know where you've pitched your tent.

superman:
nairaland u-turn!! nawaa oo

we got a problem here, massive one

The biggest problem i see here is that people don't realise there's a great learning opportunity to be gained from Nairaland.

There's no point obstinately sticking to a particular viewpoint if you feel your convictions have changed.

That's all, the rest remain under lock.[/quote]Not smart at all, bro. . .

This has NOTHING to do with mobile phones.


*sigh*

Pretty good development.
It's about time the phone section had a moderator. he doesn't frequent this section as much as others (i.e cars and autos) but it's a better thing than letting any of you people moderate this section.

hopefully we'll see more intelligent discussions at play here.

PS: Moderators can ban also.

malikalhaj:
i agree with lungwun, specwise the ps3 is better than the 360 but right now the 360 is better because it has more games and also i really can't notice the difference in graphix and a big plus is that the 360 is cheaper than ps3.
So 4 now the 360 rules

The PS3 is better in claimed specs.
In real world performance as of date, the Xbox 360 is doing a better job of pumping out hi-def games at a better framerate.

The two consoles provide a similar level of performance at this stage.

it depends on what you want. If you need a cheap Blu-ray player, get the PS3.
Another pro on the side of the PS3 is that all the games are region free, so you don't ever have to worry about PAL or NTSC versions.

Apart from that, there's not much difference if you get any of the two.

at last! Someone else with a DS.

If you really want to get the most of your DS, get a R4 Modchip or an M3, get an SD card and then you can download games onto the card and play on your DS.

Disclaimer: Playing copies of games you don't already own is piracy

Everyone here KNEW there was a discrimination before they entered the polytechnic. This isn't a case of attending NYSC with Bsc people or being told fancy promises. You all KNEW.
Knowing that you were going to be discriminated against, you guys still entered the Poly. So why the uproar now?

You set yourselves up for this, and now you're getting what you had to have known was coming, you're crying. That's pathetic.


I'm not here to say that BSc Graduates are better or smarter. All i'm saying is there's a harsh reality on ground and you all had to have known this. When i wrote my JAMB in 1997 i knew that PolyJamb was not an option so id idnt even consider it.

From Thisday Newspaper. Let's see how this will help will reduce the level or even eliminate discrimination. Hope it works out well

The school that awarded the B.Tech degree will still be in the CV. This will not prove to be a solution for discrimination.

Infoseye:
I was so much expecting your reply immediately i pushed the refresh button, I don't care what everyou say cuzz am tired of exchanging words with a **** like you anyway since u know so much and nairaland has so much knowledge on Psp as u claimed. Why not tell me more about Psp hacks?

did you just diss me and ask for help in the same breath, young man?!

But i'll answer any question you throw at me just because you amuse me.

There's more to learn on Nairaland than PSP. Correct that notion.

@Infoseye
You lied, son.
There's a wonderful learning opportunity to be had on Nairaland, but that's only possible if you keep an open mind.

Even the site you referenced (dolphin projects) called them 'Portals' and not a full fledged OS.


You could learn a lot about the PSP here if you'd only adapt a more honest and open mien on Nairaland. Feel free to ask me questions if you wanna learn something useful.

saniyusuf:
Hmm. Isee You r Questioning Ma Ability.
Anyway My website is currently Suspended so when its okay ill tell u the address so thet u can download most of my works.



I good.
ARios

You call this 'Ability'?!

try and learn an unique or useful skill. I doubt you uploaded these games, and i'm positive you didn't crack them yourself.

Why are there so many retards in Nigeria?

Look at the price tag quoted for the car. At that tag for a new car, why is anyone griping about the top speed?


Not everyone lives in lagos. This car could be very ideal for quiet suburban neighbourhoods with good roads for quick shopping trips at al, school runs, etc.

No-one's gonna be flogging it between Benin and Lagos.

That said, look at the price tag and stop whining.

I have never done a deal with the guy (Jenju) before. But i must say he radiates confidence.

@Jenju
Well done, mate!

oYaTo:
Abeg i need some clarifications. . .

1. Is the iphone still tied down to a network operator (AT&T)? If so do i have to spend money unlocking one if i decide to buy? How much does the unlocking cost?

2. How much does the iphone go for (8Gb, 16Gb. . .versions)?

1. The unlocking software is free on the internet. Most iPhones you'lll see outside the US and UK will defintiely be unlocked already, so no need to worry

2. 8Gb = 60k, 16GB = 80 (lagos prices)


That said, iPhones are in short supply now, so i'd advise you to buy ASAP if you really want one. Apple's stoopped making the older versions over a month ago, so they are pretty scarce. Let's see how easy it is to get some 3G versions

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=125097.msg2411228#msg2411228 date=1214274737]Tex,

whats going on? Heard today Apple releasing iphone to 71 countries on July 11th. Is Nigeria in, do you know?
I also heard that the accelerometer on the device has been upgraded. Let me know.

You know how much I can't stand iphone but I may (repeat may ) buy the 3G release. Holler back![/quote]No upgraded accelerometer, it's already pretty cool as it is. Don't believe me? Watch this video

A games competition without an FPS game? Are you guys on crack?!

Cayon:
Why don't troops from the 100s African Countries, do something about Mugabe?

Because Africans don't actually do anything for other africans

Seriously, left to NTA and AIT how much coverage of Zimbabwe would we have seen?

Look, i've got no beef with the writer. But first and foremost we're Nigerians. The Bonga FPSO represents a multibillion dollar investment by My country, and anyone who attacks it or salutes whoever attacks its operation is flirting with treachery here.

Whether we settle the oil ownership or not, the oil in Bonga must be produced for Nigeria. Any further attacks will not only jeopardize our investment, it would lead to Nigeria incurring further cost in getting the production back up.

No Nigerian soldier willing to die for Nigeria? Where did you get that idea?

I strongly feel that the success of the millitants is due more to the element of surprise than any advanced tactics or superior training.

Imagine this scenario
10 soldiers have been manning a checkpoint for 3 weeks. Everyone knows there are 10 soldiers there. Everyone knows where they hide (behind a sand bunker). Thier main defense is a heavy duty machine Gun mounted on top of the sand bank, with secondary assault rifles. It's relatively easy for even a poorly trained band of 40 armed men to kill all the soldiers.
In this scenario, from the cover of nearby bushes three millitants pop up and fire RPGs at the sand bunker, targeting the gun emplacement. The explosion destroys the gun, killing 3 soldiers. As the remaining 7 try to react, they are caught in a crossfire from the 30 millitants in hiding. In a minute the battle is over.

This scenario is common place in the delta. Most victories these guys claim are from ambush situations.

In an even pitched battle the JTF usually comes away with the upper hand.

ono:
@landis,
Excellent chip in there. Seems to me that the ''glorified'' Agip geophysicist has never heard anything about barrels of oil equivalent - boe. When we are still flaring gas in the delta, and we're doing all we can to tap the huge trillions of standard cubic feet of gas in place (GIIP) some one is looking at oil and telling the whole world how ''smart'' he is.

This is not to justify the shit going on in the industry though. The chap is right about the way our ''leaders'' mismanage the resources (proceeds) from oil sales in the country. And I still believe that this nation need to split up along geopolitical lines for us to get our bearing.

I Don't see anythign wrong in what this guy has said.
The world is consuming Oil at an alarming rate. It's widely believed that most giant reservoirs on land have already been found, with deepwater and offshore oil remaining as the new frontier.

You know as well as i do that he knows what 'boe' is. In that 43 years most of our Gas would have been produced anyway. There are plans underway to expand our LNG and our domestic usage of gas. Isn't it from these gas reserves we'll use to supply LNG, power plants and industries?

jay bee:
I beg educate 'em jare. I am quite sure the 43yrs is based on known reserves. What about the unknown's (deepwater exploration, -1Km depth that can only be drilled by ROV's)

Why would someone make a projection on unknown reserves. Of course he's talking about known reserves. You cannot make projections for what you haven't seen yet. If not we might as well start adding the mythical hydrocarbons to be found in Northern Nigeria.

and enclose N2000 as consultation fees abi?

landis:
-->14yrs later, they can't do nothing when they see what WEST is doing with Mugabe.

Enough SAID.

Mugabe's land reform took place in 2000, six years after the South Africans announced their intention. Naturally you fail to mention this fact.

South Africa under the Apartheid regime was under sanctions also. Did they buckle under?

Zimbabwe's sanctions are ban on arms trade and sanctions targeted at assets of political leaders in Zimbabwe who have been judged to be in the forefront of human rights abuses.

But then again, you'll never let anything as trivial as FACTS get in the way of your grandstanding, eh?

Landis, you're a troll. That's evident now.

@Justcool
maybe i misunderstood your intent. What i thought was you were placing the blame for Nigeria's failures solely on the Government. That's why i spoke as i did. No offense meant  . At least not anymore.
