You mind telling us the difference between speaking and writing?

As strange as it may sound, there is a big difference between writing and speaking.

@ osisi

It seems U have not gone home in ages Of course, lectures are given in english but that is if the student in question attend classes or even pay attention to the lectures. There are other ways to pass exams!!!

And with the way we conduct exams , how can u be surprised about a "non-english speaking "graduate.

Nigerian students are in the middle of WAEC now and my younger sister who is also taking the exams keeps me updated. U would weep for the academic sector. The exam papers show up 2 days before each exam.

4 Him:
She's from my father's side so no problems. My mom has to tap the bag of garri and point to her mouth to pass the message though. Sign language is cool.

I don die

4Him, please na persin potential wife be that

D-reloaded:
since she obviously didnt do any of the exams herslef, should have had them do NYSC for her as well.

Many students see NYSC as a jamboree. And to make it more interesting, U get paid for the jamboree. She did not reckon with the fact that "oyibo" would betray her.

4 Him:
At least she makes good eba.

U no well  

sheniqua:
How did she do WAEC
JAMB nko?
The story sounds incredible.

Hahahahaha. Are You a JJC? WAEC ko, JAMB ni. All she got to do is to pay someone to take those exams of her. Have u not heard of special centers?

As for passing through the University, lets just say there are other ways You can pass ur exams in Nigerian universities apart from reading. And ur options are even more if u are a lady.

@Poster

What electricity is he talking about?? You mean he wants to put tariff on Candle and Lanterns?? Yeye People !!

LMAO!!!!

Nkem Owoh just won the award for the best lead actor for the year 2008 @ the AMAA awards. He could care less if u like him or not.

lucabrasi:
what they are all after is the growth of the nigerian movie industry and it wont grow with that kind of attitude,we know the igbos run alaba market but they are not allowing a level playing field for other ethnicities,did u know that there are hausa movie artise but they are being stifled and not even given any chances

Ehhm, luca, can You throw some light on how the Igbo marketers @ alaba (as u called it) stifles out movies from other ethnicities (your own words once again).

LadyT:
Its amazing Nigeria can come up with billions when needed!

Will throwing more bloody money at the rubbish electricity system work NO!

I suggest they spend that money buying rice theres a shortage incase they didnt know

They should actually spend more money developing rice farms or any other farms for that matter. The food shortage issue has always been on the table ever since the issue of alternate energy came up. Nigerians and the Nigerian government are just acknowledging it now. Thats a damn shame.
The Nigerian government is laughable to say the least. No projection into the future, no prediction of future trends. I wonder what they actually do in that Aso rock.

Radiant:
I understand what you mean but it's really heartbreaking that the government of Nigeria cannot run a functional Electrical Sector.

It is but governmental institutions have shown us times without number how inefficient they could be. The attitude of "government biziness is no man's biziness" has eaten deep into us and unfortunately it might take a long time for us to be disabused of that kind of thinking. For now our best bet is to privatize. People tend to take thier work more seriously when in a privately owned setting.

Who gives a damn if they get married or not? Not my problem and I dont see why it should be anybody's problem.

@ zorao


Countries that would switch to solar energy would do that irrespective of what Nigeria does.  And even if the switch to alternative sources of energy affects Oil sales , then it is all good. Cos I personally believe that the presence of oil in Nigeria has been a curse rather then a blessing. Moreover, I dont think solar energy would completely eliminate the need for the conventional source of energy but rather would complement it.

The problem I have with solar en ergy is that I am at loss what the initial take off capital to start off a solar plant would be. The running cost might be cheap but the initial investment needed to start off such a plant might enormous. Is Nigeria ready for that kind of investment yet? Another question is what time frame would this kind of project need? How long does it take to start and bring into completion a solar plant---- a year, 5 years, 10 years   Try and also consider the NIGERIAN FACTOR into that. We all know how long it takes to build a stretch of road in Nigeria (3 times the normal time frame). If it is going to be such a long term project, are the citizens gonna wait that long before they have a solution to thier energy problems

My suggestion:
Bleep the subsidy!!!!! Invest that money into bringing NEPA back to life, like someone pointed out------ cables, NEW TRANSFORMERS etc. Anything to make NEPA or PHCN , watever, a likkle bit more efficient.
Secondly, plan on how to privatise the energy sector. Make the environment suitable for private investors (that might even attract foriegn companies) .
Third as long term plan, plan on to set up solar plants at strategic places in the country. Each year's budget should have some dough set aside for this project and gradually but surely move towards solar electrification of the country.

This is a funny thread. And a likkle kind of different from the tribalistic thread we are used to.

Very sad

What has this got to do with the fact that Odejayi was invited to the national team based on the one header he had against Chelsea.

Who the Bleep cares who Onigbinde dates? See me see wahala oooooo!!!!

Women don suffer

Lol @ the mix-up between the gospel of barnabas and the letter of barnabas. I was like " r u kidding me"

When I heard that statement I asked myself two questions

1) Is it true that most 419 email scams emanate from Nigeria?

2) Is it true if Americans dont send out thier account numbers , they would not get duped?

Answers to those questions made me take a stand.

@ Mc Omo

Actually, I dont think he needed any help to slide into obscurity.

@ Sly
