The issue here is that English is a language that is derived from many other European languages including French, Latin and Greek.
In colonial times, The British that came to Nigeria used to teach Latin in Missionary schools.
You understand Latin, you under English better and you have no problems like this.
But with time, Nigerians have dissociated themselves from European culture and just isolated English alone.
And hence everybody is now confused.
You took language and discarded its roots. Hence all the headaches and disbeliefs.

KingLennon:
No course is useless, it is just the way you see it. Botany graduates dey follow work for bank these days o

The course can still be useless.
At the end of the day, the only reason you are going to university is because
there is legal requirement from employers to hire graduates with NYSC certificate.
You can't get the NYSC certificate if you do not go to UNI or Poly.
Nigerians just waste their time in University score whatever result, get degree then NYSC certificate
then beg for any job that doesn't concern their degree course.
-
But their overseas counterparts, go STRAIGHT to job and work as intern, part time staff or labour.
From the job, they then decide whether to study a course that has anything to do with THAT particular job.
Any time you discuss with your agemate, they already have 10 years work experience.

The students are to blame..the reading culture in Nigeria has died off..many of these students are in social media for 24hrs.. Instagram YouTube video watching sexy adult films, Facebook, TikTok on cable tv watching adult movies...so they are distracted by all of these and they do not read and study their books and their parents are busy hustling and working no time to supervise their children and discipline and train them

Internet has spoilt things. It is a 2 edged sword. 1 side gives information. The other side gives moral destruction.

When I was in Uni, we had to buy books and handouts to read. Then Internet came, and I learnt about PDF. Can you imagine that till today, the 1000 pages textbook I downloaded, I've still not read it? Free download O! But zero concentration to read it. Instead it is the physical paper books that I was able to read and pass my exams.
Who has power to read 1000 pages PDF? Online, when Facebook etc is on the same computer you are using?

3kay945:
Who to blame? The list isn't complete, sir.

I blame them all though in various level of percentage.
1. The government
2. Parents
3. Students
4. Teachers
5.Social media
6.Religious houses
7.The society at large.

I don't have time sharing the percentages.

Exactly same thing I said.
The world has changed.
Children have to be seriously protected from corrupting influences all around.

Students

The world.
When I was a student, there was hardly any cable TV. No DSTV in Nigeria. Just our 5 local stations on TV. TV started at 5pm and closed by 12 midnight. I only watched voltron or whatever from 5pm to 6pm, that's if there was light. We didn't have generator. Non of my friends had gen. Only kerosene lamp. Then go out and play, then 7:30pm to 8:00pm one comedy. And that was it. No Internet, no tablet. Nothing. Just carry books and read and study.
Today, kids are carrying DEATH in their hands, mobile phones. And it is giving them mental anxiety, depression, anxiety disorders and other mental health issues.
Why won't they fail exams? Their heads are filled up with shit disturbing their concentration and progress.

DJInfluence:
In as much as am happy for her, I don't see how this will benefit those kids. By the time they are 20 years she will be 76 years. Who will be taking care of who by then?

They should have learnt work from age 10 and take care of her.

They need you to try again.
They are ready for your next money.

Racoon:
And to think that this school is in the vicinity of the high brow Eric Moore Towers(foreground 4th picture) in the Surulere Suburb of Lagos back then tells a lot about the lack of care by government and the inhabitants of the poshed area.

Though the school has been rehabilited but this was its sorry state before it was renovated which is the message Peter Obi have been preaching to economic resources. Meanwhile Reno Omokri over to you sir.

What's there to think? What has Education ever done for Nigerian government?
It just yields graduates that will challenge and scrutinise the government.
Or get frustrated and japa from the country.
The real people running politics and economy are the uneducated ones.
Hence the backwardness and high corruption.

Seunpapa65:
Please advise him on what he can read with this score

He can study how to answer the questions.

shortgun:
The real enemies of Nigeria are those who frustrated President Jonathan out of office when a bag of rice was sold for 8k and dollar was N216.
Now they expect us to celebrate and roll out the drums now that a bag of rice is sold for 70k and dollar is 1,300.
Nonsense

Jonathan's luck is that the president died and he then assumed office.
Had there been elections, Jonathan would never have won with this kind enemies in Nigeria.
He was good yet pushed out of office and since he left, only worse people have taken over.

Kingdavid579:
There's nothing like that, wayward age mate plenty.

I have dated 4 woman in my entire life and 3 of them are older than I am. Asin the least is 3 years older.

It's actually about how you present yourself to a woman.

You dated but you didn't marry. They were desperate to born child.
Marry older lady first. Let her give birth.
The lady will tell you kneel down and hands up, when you misbehave.

djoe21:
Lolz. If you believe your last statement then you are in for a rude shock. You really think younger girls don't argue to challenge?

You can just say, "Cmon shutup there small girl"...

You see. You can't do that if it is your mate na!

spencekat:
I don't see it as a big deal.I may not listen to the voice note immediately, especially if I am not in a conducive place or don't have an earpiece on me.

I think you can just place the phone to your ear normally and the voice note will sound there.

Variety is the spice of life.
If you nor like am, some other person like am.

Complain nor dey finish.

Just use it to separate your friends from your enemies.
Block them without remorse.
Your friend will know what you like and message you the way you like.

The large kitchen is okay, but the empty space could be utilized.
A large table or island in the centre, with extra equipment, would be quite beneficial.

I don't get the point of kitchen Island.
Does the family want to eat in the Kitchen?
If so, then the palour should not have a dining section either.
From this picture, the house seems finished. Hence they probably have dining table in the parlour area.
And now, just wasted space in the kitchen.

Beuberry:
Cos guys of our age are dumb. We need advanced ages to meet up with our intellectual prowess and needs. Most of our age mates are also poor in riches but rich only in bed!

I am a man. And I approve.
Go for older guys please.
The fact that you went to school and same class with a guy does not mean he is ready or prepared to marry you.
Your partner is 5, 10 or 20 years much older than you and will support you better in this Nigeria.
We that are your age mate, will reverse back and choose a younger girl that will not argue or challenge us in the house.

TheWinterBird:
Whoever said that? It's best to date or marry one's age mate. You'll have more in common and all.

Well that is true.
Unfortunately, the commonality also extends into the trousers.
The woman will start wearing the same trouser with you. And many men do not like that kind of competition.
So most times, men go for younger women whom they have very few things in common with initially,
THEN build up the things in common as the relationship progresses.

yes and if you know me well on this forum,you would've seen how I used to call out the mods at times over such garbage..i have been banned one or two times for that but who cares

Mr Justice League, am I to pay homage to you before using this website?
Why am I supposed to know you well? This is a site built on anonymity.
-
You implied that you don't live in this particular country, Nigeria cos you guys in that country.

I really wonder, how our internal affairs is your business then?
You're trying to imply that somehow you are better than us Nigerians but unfortunately, you don't seem happy
or satisfied with your life wherever you are, hence the constant need to come to this lowly 3rd world website and look for
which person to oppress (Bullying yet again!!!).

Why is it that people outside of Nigerian cannot STAY outside of Nigeria?
You went to USA there. FACE THERE use THEIR FORUMS. Integrate with the foreign people and leave us alone.
You burn all your energy disabling the ability for anybody to reply your comments on this Website. Because you're too chicken
to face your own words. What is the point of commenting then? What is your point?

We didn't know your name before and we certainly don't want to know anything about you and your journeys now.
Go away.

Sirchiboy:
I wish I was like this boy wayback in primary and secondary.
I was bullied and called names that really messed up my social life.
It is well.

Seek counseling to resolve whatever negative effects it may still have on you.
You deserve better.

Nigeria is a country full of bullying.
The British that colonised us, bullied us into a nation.
Then the police and army they created, continued to bully us after independence
And we continue to bully each other everywhere,
Agberos bullying people on the roads,
Boss bullying workers, Parents bullying kids, then kids bullying other kids
And everybody bullying each other on the internet, twitter, NL...
We are only seeing a reflection of all our actions.

Konquest:
The British-born Tiwa Savage couldn't have made that ignorant comment about having the sex tape wiped off from phones and other mobile devices with her level of global exposure.

Conversely, if she did make that comment, then she's been scammed by the so-called IT expert into parting with money. Period.

What has her British Birth got to do with her intelligence?
Are British people smarter than Nigerians?
Is it not British people that used to fall for Romance scams and

Chukwuka319:
Where is this rabid dog escaping from?
Better stop barking,else I will put a choke chain on you,call in the Anti rabies vaccination officers to muzzle you and lock you up in the pound for mad dogs.
Why is my comment getting to your skin?
Are you MAD?

You just stated everything that you are.

rabid dog escaping
barking,
Anti rabies vaccination officers to muzzle you and lock you up in the pound for mad dogs.
Why is my comment getting to your skin?
Are you MAD?

Unfortunately, my simple comment got under your skin and you collapsed into fully blown insults.
Yet, you are the one that is cursing Nigeria police officers.
In fact you just cursing everybody. Both the police and the citizens!

Chukwuka319:
No matter where the animal runs to,he must be caught.He must face justice.
And to think that he's the son of a police officer.
Children of these entities often lack proper home training and moral upbringing, and often end up being useless.
How do we expect a police officer's son to behave properly when his father is extorting motorists on the highway, molesting female detainees at night in the station, brutalising unarmed civilians for no just cause.
Curses from the public are running degree and Masters programmes upon the lives of those animals in uniform and their families.

You that are good, join the police and change things around.

Justiceleague1:
Say that to yourself,not everyone is like you,peeps like some of us know you only die once and before that just know you going down too and besides the scenarios are different...the agberoes scenario is a different one entirely while the school scenario is different. A student who dangerously stands up to bullies, I bet you, they will live him alone

There is nothing different.
Bullying is bullying.
Stop making excuses.
This IS EXACTLY what bullies do.

During my my time, they bullied me. So I must bully you as well.

That was the most ASSHOLE excuse I was given by a senior back when I was a kid in school.

And that is the same thing Agberos do on the road. The more you allow, it the more it propagates.
Agberos started as Begging. Today it has turned to full road assault and robbery.

Right here on this Nairaland website, someone will make his comment or opinion and people will insult him and tell him to shutup, insult his village, insult his family. And we're all here saying, "Eh That's how Nairaland is Na. Collect your Insult and go". So tey, thiw website was shutdown earlier this year to rectify one of such cases.
