She has a point. It's only the middle class that can press for real change. The poor do not even know that they can have a better lives and that the oppressive elites is fully responsible for their predicament

The poor sabotage the middle class..

They are the ones who vote bad leaders


They are the tribalist piece of shit in the country

Yello1:
U didn't talk about MPhil/PhD in ur post. Wat do u know about that too. It is d next grade after MPhil. B4 full PhD grade in master's grade ranking

how does that m Phil work tho?


Does the person move to year 2 of the PhD after the M.Phil?

or after M.Phil, the person will still do three years for PhD?

Quality20:
its cool and ok

good for you

and all the best


But that rumour that aboki lecturers suffer students from the South, is it true?

Tolumiide:
You must be thinking that everyone on nairaland is a teenager

no mind that guy

Quality20:
Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto(UDUS) is probably d coolest place to d PG programs.
cheap fees, about 104k per session and easy admission without stress ,even students per class could b as low as 3 or even 2 and at most 10. And what more , a 3rd class graduate can be admitted for masters if he/she has at least 5 yrs postgraduate relevant working experience.
Overall I think UDUS is d cheapest PG school in d country, with highly skilled manpower and new/standard amenities and infrastructures.
The application forms is currently on sale at d cost of 10k and sales of d form closes next month,except if extended

I never knew that school was good

What about their PhD programs

is it fast?

Babyvet:
According to some people on this thread , money triumphs everything , happiness and actually liking their job does not matter as long as they make their so called big dollars.

You won't blame them


That's what coming from a $HITHOLE does to the psyche.

.....

Exactly my thoughts,what's the essence of your financial literacy teachings if it doesn't reflects on your financial situations in the real world because it works at cross purpose with the established system.
There are things that happen in one's life that defies logic or teachings.
I never believed in the American financial system(though it works for some) but in my own opinion,the African culture of financial system best all others and it works for them far more than it does an average American.

Did you say the "African culture of financial system?"


Let me laugh out loud

Wait, wait


Let me laugh again

Nig4Greatness:
.....

The drill is simple...Nigerians are not productive people,our cultures thought us to be consumers reason one would wonder why the country is where it is despite the many human resources scatter all over the world.very disheartening.when I went into business,I nearly changed my mind with the way my former colleagues(Nigerians) were given me million stuffs I stand to lose,now I can not thank my God enough.I now know better.
To be honest,we are lazy and always afraid of failure.we are contented with working as an employee instead of an employer.few that manage to own a business don't have plans for expansion,they are only concerned about today,so don't expect any venture capitalists or a good investor to invest in such business.

You are right


Our parents, government and society lied to us and damaged us mentally


They are the ones who say getting a degree is a meal ticket

They are the ones who said "work hard, get a job, and you will be good"


We were never encouraged to be ground breakers, or take a risk, or contribute to global knowledge


Back then in school, I used to wonder why there was Boyle's Law and Charles law and Mendellen and Darwinism and many other laws and theories without hearibf Okoro's theory, or Ademola's law or Haruna's methodology or somehing like that?


The answer boils down to the unfortunate society they found themselves in

Okay you produce PhDs in Nigeria /Africa


Of what epistemic use are those PhDs?
Can an industry pick up your PhD thesis and base serious economic decisions or otherwise on it

Nigeria is just a useless country, simple and short

Mcy56:
Lol. Seems that's the way to go these days with idle funds. Dry bones shall rise again.
Caveat:
Above quoted post is for executives with staunch faith in dry bones. Don't try this with community/family funds. Viewers/readers discretion is strictly advised.

franchasng:
Lazy boy!

He concocted all these lies of how he escaped death in Nigeria just to curry pity from Italian Immigration Officials to approve his asylum application, what a pity

Yes Nigeria is bad, Nigerian economy isn't cool, it is harsh but not as horrible as this lazy guy painted it.

If they aren't lying about escaping from Boko Haram that wiped off their whole family while they escaped, they are lying about their village uncle trying to kill them with charms to take their family lands

I don't blame them sha, I blame:

Gowon
Buhari
OBJ
IBB
Abacha for destroying Nigeria while ruling this nation as military heads of states which they are still doing today and the gullible youths keep cheering them, make una continue

Nigeria's case has become critical

Throwback:
I just don't know why the African race has decided it will perpetually suffer inferiority complex?

So he prefers to be sprayed with foreign mucus because he lost his job in Nigeria?

The education that Africans never received is the one that teaches that the solution to ones problem does not lie abroad.

Sometimes it actually lies abroad

You are wrong on that one


The education Africans never had is a sense of patriotism.

Africans were not taught to be patriotic, or love their countries

On the other hand, citizenship, patriotism and love for the country is an integral part of the education the French and Americans got while in school.


That is why an African will loot and loot till the last, and store the money outside

That is why an African will collect bribe in exchange for environmental clean up.

That is why an African will connive with a Chinese to short change his country

That is why an immigration officer will collect kick backs and look the other way

That is why the customs guy will allow useless products enter the country

The list is endless, and all boils down to lack of love for one's country, and lack of patriotism


Corruption is a global thing, but Africans kill their continent with it with reckless abandon

That's why the people are fleeing the $hithole continent in their millions

To save this continent, education is the first thing to save.

macbernard:
I'm with you bro, but you see, everything should be done prayerfully & proper consideration. Please folks should consider some of these things before relocating:

1. Relocating overseas should not be just because of your poor condition. Even if you're very comfortable but don't like the state of the country, pls move. There was someone close to me who was earning on average 6 million Naira a month in Nigeria, and he felt very rich & saw no reason in living overseas, but I always told him his narrow minded views were because he had never left Nigeria. The following year he visited the US, & came back screaming about what he had missed all his life. That same year he visited the US again, came back and visited Canada also. As I speak with you he had relocated to the US with his family.

2. I have noticed that many people relocate outside the country to start running jobs they wouldn't go near in Nigeria, you know why? It's because there's nothing to be ashamed of in another man's country. My honest advise to such people is that if you're based in Lagos and ashamed to start a certain kind of SME, why not go to Abuja or Calabar or Osogbo where no one knows you.

3. What are your life priorities? Are you seeking a place wey be say women wey them problem dey for them back go dey love you just cos u be Nigerian, then go to Kenya & Rwanda, you would never waste your time on Lagos girls again. Every where you go in Kenya it's bumbum & waist left, right & centre. So your East African wife is most likely gonna be more dark skinned, beautiful, humble & loving than your Nigerian wife. But then I think there is a large number of very beautiful women in Eastern Nigeria also.

4. Don't be desperate, do your research very well. This will help you avoid regrets.

5. Think about the future. Is that country going to be a stepping stone or your final destination, because if you start a business somewhere, you are likely to stay there for a very long time. So is that country worth the next 20 years? If not, have a rethink.

6. I don't blame people saying if they relocate they don't want to ever hear about Nigeria again, na the shit wey plenty for Naija cause am. But think about your future status in the countries available to you. It's very difficult to be a citizen in Kenya, even with marriage. It's easy in Botswana, but no dual citizenship so you have to renounce Nigeria. You can never become a citizen in UAE even if you live there for 40 years, I've been to UAE twice & as much as I love Dubai I won't want to relocate there. I strongly urge you not to relocate to a country where you can never become a citizen.

7. Don't trust everything you read on forums, including this my long sermon . Everybody's case is different. What is good for me might be bad for you & vice versa.

8. Despite the fact that I plan to relocate to another country. I do not hate Nigeria. Trust me I have lost a lot in this country: I've lost a lot of money, I've lost in business, I've lost in love & emotions, I've lost someone very dear to me because of the evil hearts of folks here. You see, if you wear the garment of your hatred for your people & country, it would follow you everywhere you go. It's one of the reasons there are unsuccessful immigrants in places like Canada & the US. Your attitude determines your altitude.

9. As much as you might not believe in God, be open minded, and he will guide you.

10. Don't forget n* 9.

some real stuff you typed there.


Life no dey Nigeria to me


After accumulating so much money, what next?

very few fun things for your kids to do

Always watching over your shoulders for "men of the underworld" etc


Life is really to be enjoyed, not endured mehn.

Notatribalist:
Ghana is fast becoming worse than Nigeria, just yesterday they stole my bag here..circle,Kasoa in Accra..edum panpasu in Kumasi are home of criminals..

so I heard.

Uglymugg:
Why are you so insecure? Are you a sadist? What is it about other peoples suffering that gives you joy? You are a broken man.

he is probably going through a whole lot.

Nigeria is running a lot of people mental, so I take people's comments here at face value

Olalan:
Somethings are just not explainable.
BTW some peeps would say this is bullshit until it happens to them.....this is africa

a dumb, wicked ignorant and useless continent.


Let us assume that witchcraft and supernatural powers are real (there is a good chance that it's real)

How come Africans who seek this powers don't seek it for knowledge to better their lot, or other productive or sensible things


Why do Africans who seek diabolic powers seek it for malevolent things?

useless continent

Nasige:
I know so many people will not agree on this, but in reality do we really think PDP will do better if given another opportunity?
From 1999 when the PDP took over the reins of power, national assets like NITEL, NEPA, NIPOST, Nigerian Airways, NRC, Nigerian SHIPPING LINE, Nigeria Machine Tools, DELTA STEEL, OSTM, National OIL, DUNLOP TYRES, Nitex, Nascon, Dicon, MICHELIN TYRES,ASABA TEXTILE, KADUNA TEXTILE, Nichemtex and NIC were all alive in 1999. Millions of Nigerians were working in those firms and contributing to the GDP. Poverty level was far lower.. But by 2015, the PDP have killed and buried all the companies and wiped off over 1 million jobs and creating an army of unemployed in place.

Buhari in turn made Nigeria lose more than 8 million jobs since 2015.

And this statistic came from the National Bureau of Statistics

What do you have to say about that.


A president increased petrol to N145 and is still paying billions daily to subsidize fuel is who you are calling a good president?

A president that saw his country men (more than 20000) die in the hands of boko haram /fulani Herdsmen

President that saw his armed forces kill protesters (ipob and the Shiites)

A president that his security chiefs blatantly disobey (the IGP being a good example )

This is the stupid president you want Nigerians to vote in 2019


You people must be mad

handsomeclouds:
Doesn't change the fact that Buhari will win 2019

My Osinbajo will still be VP

And My Fashola will still be Minister of PWH...

And what do you stand to gain from that

Anu ofia di ka gi

franchasng:
Nigeria has no future

The future of Nigeria is as dark as lunar eclipse

For this number of Akwa Ibom people to turnout for any reason to support this selfish man in his selfish political interest means majority of Nigerians are complete fools and reason Nigerian politicians don't take leadership accountability serious.

It is a shame to be called a Nigerian

rented crowd is what it is

Excess hunger in the land

Nigeria unfortunately does not look like it will get better

Seun, the N0. 1 promoter of porn in Africa. U, lindaikeji and other yeye bloggers contributed in no small measure to infiltration of porn into many homes in Nigeria and beyond. The results are there on the street for all to see. #everythingisnotmoney

what is this one saying bikonu

To be an academic, you have to be real passionate about research, as well as teaching

If you are not, then academics is not for you

Let Warren Buffett come and invest in NSE first....

You never know
he is probably in the NSE by proxy

These men are unpredictable
NSE however has proved to be gangsters paradise

maasoap:
This message better suit you. Don't you think so? Why? Because I didn't believe in their verdict but you did. Not only that, you're even trying to convince me, so it is up to you who is already convinced to do something to change it. You're probably deficient in logical thinking.

columbus007:
with the way some of us stereotype insults with the country,even some of us is gone so bittered and emotionally battered on the inside,Op for example, pray for your country better than a curse,be well guided.

You are right sha

the way many are suffering in the country, it is to blame for the way they cast aspersions on the country at every instance

people are going through a whole lot out there

And what does that have to do with anything? ?

Originalsly:
When you want to condemn the Black man...look in the mirror. Did you read the article before running off your mouth? If you did ...then you must have a slime coated brain that nothing stuck or you have a very short memory span. It is Blacks who behave like you...sad and disgraceful ....idiots like you...that are increasingly becoming a nuisance to the world. Didn't you read he spent his own money?....and the borehole were on his personal property?...yet dumb dumb you be up in here shouting he and his family should be killed. You are the one that need to be killed....one less idiot for the Black race to be ashamed of.

@,topic. Making potable water available for the residence was a very good thing to do...no doubt...but seems in his mind he has to do nothing more to remain in power...and that's what he did...nothing more...or why would they vote him out? It is now for the newly elected to provide the very residence with water...that is a must...before moving on to fulfill campaign promises.

You want to tell me that an African man will use his own money (not money he stole from public purse) to build borehole for his people

This guy must be naive.

Only few, like very few have such heart in Africa (dangote and a few others)

this muthafukka is not one of them.

Africa the bleeped continent

maasoap:
You guys should stop insulting your race, there is no new thing under the sun that hasn't been done by other races. Go through the Google, what you will come across will surprise many of you and it has nothing to do with Africans. I just felt the need to educate you all.

the guys you quoted are right

Africans are bleeped in the head (90%)

It is evident in our societies

Where else in this world do you hear the kind of atrocities that go on in Africa IN THE 21st century?

I know truth hurts, but that's the way it is

Africa is one giant $HITHOLE

If e pain you, do something to change it

boylemonade:
What most ladies don't know is that they look more beautiful when they are fully covered and clothed..

This is how the mind works...
No matter how beautiful you are, ones you show off sensitive parts of your skin on social media, men automatically see a Lady not fit for marriage..
Even if you have good home training, 99% of the men that will slide in your dm are only after sex...

And you think ladies of these days give two fvcks about marriage?

Or you think those ladies don't know that it's sex those guys sliding in their dm is looking for?


Marriage in the west century is fast becoming obsolete

Sad as it sounds, that is the truth

You are obviously a kid from that comment up there

frenzyduchess:
he built it with his money and gave it to the public. So that makes it public property .well thats why we have insane societies in this continent as a whole .

If we are to dig on his source of wealth it will still trace back to public funds.You and I know someone as self centered like this will never use his personal money to help other people.

yea
indeed
