as compared to Nigeria, Ghana is expensive. cost of fuel in Ghana is about 3x the prices in Nigeria. VAT rate in Nigeria is 5%, VAT in Ghana is 15% plus NHIS 2.5% making 17.5% tax on every item you buy. Ghana has been ranked as the most expensive country in Africa.

http://starrfmonline.com/2017/02/22/ghana-ranked-expensive-country-live-africa-survey/

you should know that every country willing to progress must be ready to pay the price. later the citizens will enjoy it. london is expensive but you will have no problem if you are gainfully employed.

wat is dis one saying Lagos GDP is times 2 of ghanas own , abi wen did Ghana's GDP enter 100 billion

you are not telling the truth. a quick google search says you are not telling the truth

Joonana:
You've lived in Ghana before .. how long? I've also stayed in Lagos for sometime . The good thing is the cost of living which is pretty cool compared to Ghana

i dont only lived in GHANA. my grand dad owns a building in accra city center. makola. ghana is not as expensive as you think. if you are working and leaving you will find it average.germany is very expensive if you come here for the first time. but you enjoy it as ttime goes on.

uzzyfire:
thats becos gana is peaceful.

Nigeria is not peaceful guess y, BECOS WE ARE 180 MILLION!!!

the population size is not a good excuse. use china as a case study. ghana GDP is just a little above lagos state. butt they are able to maintain good electricity ，education that even attract the westerner. good road connection. highest flyover in west africa. and above all . good policing system

from my own personal observation. Ghanians and Nigerians are not treated the same in Germany. germans prefer ghana commodity than nigeria. they think everything from us is fake. the last time i was in ghana i boarded a public transport（tro-tro）with some americans.they feel at home and more secured. the white actually prefer to do business in ghana but choose nigeria becuse of her ballon population size.

worst of all you come graduate with third class or pass. That one na die.
Useless course with zero chances in the labor market

that will be a sorry case

shervydman:
I swear I prefer Kenyans.....at least they have some crucial points,but for Ghanaians,they have points,when u counter it,they wont reply back.....imagine the one with the university stuff,i've never seen him or his link ever since then,he thought university of Ghana is the best in west Africa.the're just filled with hatred.
but don't use abusive word on them bro.......we're gonna back then till thy kingdom comes ..

trully speaking. if ghanian are proud of the university of ghana .it worth it. it beat up any nigeria university by any standard. more international student and more infrastructure. dont give me website ranking. i will not accept it. i have been to both university of ibadan and ghana. i must tell you. UI is lagging behind. but this is not applicable to all ghana universities.

Of late,the grievances raised about our education system are on the increase. The future of an ordinary nigerian child has been left in the sky floating like 'a lost kite'. In this article.

I will ponder on some whims and caprices of the Nigeria Education System, specifically the examination bodies as well as some formidable solutions to these problems.Sometimes I wonder if Nigeria is even a member of the Commonwealth Community because nothing shows.Our credentials are viewed with squeezed eyes and less worth all because of the emanation of the credentials-Nigeria. UK, US and most of the European countries do not even regard our WASSCE results amidst the leaks and incredibility around the exams.

Are we going to sit for the incompetency of these Examination Bodies ruin the future of the ordinary Nigeria child?I strongly believe UTME OR JAMB is playing chess' with the future of our students.

i sigh,I grief and I strongly sob that UTME is failing us and we need an alternative.Even with a genuine UTME and WAEC credential,one would still need to write other so called internationally accepted exams such as TOEFL,SAT, GRE, etc before one could gain admission overseas and yet Nigeria could proudly hit its dancing belly and say it is a Commonwealth Nation.To me,I strongly believe nigeria is an African nation and for that matter must live as one.Vis-a-vis the aforementioned problem.

I believe that the solutions to these persistent problems are as follows:*All secondary schools in the country should conduct its own final exams alongside with WAEC.such that after a child has completed his or her seniour High Education,he or she would sit for such e two exams and would there of be admitted into the university with both result just like in the usa

Furthermore,I think UTME should not enjoy the monopoly it has enjoyed for the past years.I plead unto the reputable authorities thus the Ministry of Education to set up another Examination Council which would consist of our notable great Educationists from the Tertiary Institutions.I strongly trust and believe that an Examination Body headed by our reputable Professors and Doctors in Education would not experience anything like leakage of examination papers.*Lastly,all Universities and other third cycle institutions in the country should conduct its own Entrance Exams to avoid over dependence on the UTME results as the only criterion for admission.

I am a corncern citizen

i plead on anyone who could forward this to do so till it gets to the real implementer and seeker of relief for the ordinary Nigeria Child.

human want can never be satisfy. getting addicted to what you like is part of us as human. if it is food, you crave for more , if it is football. you will never wish a day is free.if it is song track u will want to repeat the track and listen again and again.therefore being addicted is part of what make us as human.

How watching porn videos can affect your brain.

The human brain is the most powerful single item in creation (or evolution) that has the highest processing power at which it produces results. It has capabilities the smartest of all devices can only dream of. It can process millions of data within a short period of time. It has been proven from researches that humans end up using only 4% of their brain in their entire lifespan with the 96% lying dormant.

As powerful as the human brain is, there are little things that temper with It's functions. Things such as stress, depression and addictions are the brain's worst nightmare. The brain is like a big balloon and addiction is a tiny needle. One of the leading addictions in the world after drugs is Pornography.

Porn addiction has been a major challenge and concern ever since the internet became available and accessible to everyone. The porn business is growing daily with loads and lots of stars arising from it. Tonnes of clips are produced per minute. These porn videos and pictures find their way into the market and most often times end up in the wrong hands and minds (no wonder the rate of rape is high).

Watching porn has 2 major effects on the brain.

1. It alters brain activity and function: watching porn increases your libido and may lead to better sexual relationship with the object that gave you the satisfaction in the first place. It enslaves you to be attracted to the object consciously or unconscious.

It also produces dopaminogic response (Dopamine is a chemical component released by the brain which gives the body pleasure). The release of Dopamine is a way in which the brain rewards the body for a job well done. The more the porn, the brain becomes decentralised to the effect of Dopamine. The more the porn, the lower the activity for reward and this leads to a craving for feeling pleasurable. The brain ends up getting worn out from the craving for Dopamine and leaves the porn addict wanting more.

2. Function:
Watching of Pornography alters the brain size. The grey matter volume in the right caudate of the stratum (the reward part of the brain) is smaller in addicts. After excessive watching of Pornography, the stratum goes into less activity and shrink the putamen (part of the brain responsible for motivation and reward).

FACTS ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY
1. Once the body gets rewarded for a task, it immediately looses interest in it. This is why porn addicts are prone to hating porn after orgasm.
2. The brain of a porn addict is not different from that of a drug addict.

The effects of Pornography on the brain is on the increase and research is still in progress to identify and categorize them.

culled from www.Palmchatnow.com

there is no negative impact without positive impact. even drinking enough water that is regarded as best practise has its own negative effect if you are a body builder you better abstain from taking water frequently.

porn is not as bad as you paint it. infact study has been able to establish the positive effect of porn on human.


porn watching increases your libido

frequent porn watching eliminate erectile dysfynction

it relives stress

it helps you discover your sexuality interest

the more hardcore, the better . science proof.

you will actually feel morally comfortable rather than commiting rape or child abuse.

I also have experience with the UK educational system and visa process.You won't spend the same amount with a UK student because the average cost of living in the UK is slightly higher and Tution fees are also higher,so in short you won't spend the same amount.in your previous you said you spend 10,000 euros per semester that's 10,000 euros in 3 months please how Many germans spend that amount.

Uk student visa is one of the hardest to get in the world so again stop talking as if it's so easy like that.You must prove that you have £1,015 per month for living costs if studying in the UK outside of London, and £1,265 a month for living costs if studying in London and those are just the living costs we've not even started talking about Tution fees.

There is no difference between UCAS and UNIASSIST.They fundamentally have the same function.

So please stop discouraging people

oga relax. berlin and london are one of the most expensive city in europe. germany is not cheap. if you live in berlin you are likely to spend like someone who is in london. germany visa process is more difficult than uk. third in the world. after swizz and usa. i repeat again UK university is easy and flexible. you can even allow the university to do the process for you. yours is to appear for the visa interveiw without stress. my friends in university of greenwich and leeds were formely interested in germany not uk but they were denied. uk is the only option. so simple so far you have the cash.

i am not discouraging anyone as i said in my former post.it is my wish i can force nigeria goverment to force german embassey to relax their student visa process. the only way nigerians are entering germany is through asylum means.and there is stop on that now

Pweedycutie:
Pls I want to know more about the admission process...i plan on trying my luck with LMC

there is no harm in trying. give it a try

Lakeside2134:
In UK tution fees are 9,000 pounds alone and you still need another 5000-9000 pounds to survive so please what are you saying?
If you meet the requirements you'll be given admission and Visa in Germany(some courses are open in Germany,meaning if you meet the basic requirements you'll be given admission no itches and no questions asked)and you cannot come and tell me that getting admission into a University in the UK is easy,my brother it is not lets not even talk of the visa process which is another stress in its own right.
Uk is not quick please stop lieing.

am currently a student of HOCHSCHULE FUR ANGEWANDTES in the state of bavaria in erding province germany. so i am not a novice of german academic system. you are likely to spend almost the same amount with a uk student. i repeat uk univetsity is cheap and easy. follow UCAS AND PAY YOUR DUES. even some uk university has special arrangment with the consulate making the process become fast as possible. not all uk university charges up to 9000 pounds.

be ready to spend 10.000 dollars per semester in germany if you are willing to study there. your accomodation and feeding allowance inclusive. to get admission to german public university is hard as their visa process. am not here to discourage you but just to let you know few of the obstacle ahead when you begin the german process. UK is better and quick.

hello friends, am HND holder with PgD and Master, can I lecture in a university setting with this qualifications OR am only limited to lecture in a polytechnic?

mr op . it is possible. did you specailized in education at your master level. if so try your hands on any university teaching jobs, if not try and get a master in education feild. your hnd is not a stoping block. it may even enhance your chance becuse you are not only an academia , you are also a professional. you can ask me more questions.

fergusen:
@op I don't think that's realistic.

So, I have been an ardent reader of the nairaland forum for over six years now, but don’t have an active ID/Moniker. I am addicted to nairaland, the humour, truth and constructive criticisms have helped shaped my thinking and has given me a kind of exposure and versatility in knowledge over time, one that is Lacking in every classroom. Thumbs up to Seun and others.


over to the reason for this thread

I am a fifth year student of Environmental management and toxicology in one of our Nigerian Universities, will be graduating as the pioneers of the department in less than four months.
Now here is the issue:
Midway into our program (third year or so), we were told that upon graduation, we would be awarded B.EMT certificate instead of B.Sc EMT, reason been that it’s a five year programme. But recently we received information that we would be awarded the traditional B.sc instead of B.EMT because the department is under the faculty of science.
Now the class is at a crossroad and we seem to have questions we can’t find answers to, we don’t know if we should accept the B.sc, or struggle for the earlier promised B.EMT, as there are speculations that the B.EMT is equivalent to a Masters degree. And to seek the opinion of the nairaland family, I have brought this here
Please house, your intelligent answers to the questions below and constructive advice are needed
• What are the advantages of the B.EMT over the B.Sc?
• Should we continue the struggle for B.Emt or drop it and why?
• There is a suggestion that we should write a letter to the VC through all observable protocols requesting that our certificates shouldn’t be prepared until our own faculty has been created, and we can use our transcripts to look for job and do other things. What do you think about this? Do you think we should wait? What are the possible outcomes of the wait?

first of all. your undergraduate degree can not equate master. a master degree will contain nothing less than 120 pages in thesis writting. so back to your question. B EMT OR BSC EMT. which is better. agree both are all under the same convene. they are equal but not similar. the former require intense pratical alongside research while the later is much liberal and research focus. at the end of the day both will be given the same recognition. my question. which mode of instruction do you follow？ the former or the later. if it is the former then stick to it. if it is the later. end up with the progam and face nigeria ballon labour market.. well your admission letter is enough evidence in the court of law if you are much interested to seek for redress.

Treasure17:
Being a graduate of Religious studies doesn't mean you will be a pastor , an Imam or counsellor as you rightly mentioned and it doesn't render you useless either. yes I agree, people don't see it as a professional course. You can work anywhere dear as a graduate of religious studies. you can work as a lecturer in the higher institution... ministries , at the embassy, financial institutions inclusive ...degree being useless is relative though

Do i mention you will become a pastor or imam？ not at all. the possible position you can occupy with this kind of degree is a councellor. tell me any professional position that equate your degree.for you to become a lecturer with this kind of degree , you will need further graduate study and your BA should have an education specialization. no tangible post for you base on nigeria labour market demand.

i think is gonna be a waste of judicial exercise. no authentic document regarding this allegation.even no eye withness apart from the bible and other manuscript written by anonymous men. the romans who are good in record keeping failed to document jesus cruxi- fiction.

Get yourself a respected value degree at a low cost with little effort. GHANA is currently a host to two major reputable university in the world. LANCASTER UNIVERSITY OF UK and one of the NINE NETWORK OF WEBSTER UNIVERSITY OF USA. located at st lious missouri USA. Germany university inclusive.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENT

1 A good wassce or neco result not exceding 24 point. in a minimum of five relevant subject.you can do the calculation yourself. A1 stand for 1 and C6 stand for 6. so if you have A1 in 5 subjects you have made 5 point why C6 in 5 subjects mean you have made 30 point.

HND can also be converted to DEGREE

A good transcript result from a reputable university in nigeria can be consider for admission

OND and diploma holders are also not left behind so far your O LEVEL result is intact.

professional qualification holder like ICAN , ACCA , ABE , NCC . may also be consider.

this include postgraduate study as well.

why not take this advantage of great oppurtunity today to better your life.

ANY INTERESTED PERSON SHOULD DROP HIS EMAIL ADDRESS OR SEND ME A PRIVATE EMAIL MESSAGE . the process is clear and transparent

what do you expect to become with this degree. a councellor or what？ i understand it if you tell me that it can pave way for you to become a lawyer which will be second degree. this type of degree may render you useless in nigeria.

this is not a lie. it is just motivation speech

there was a cartoon movie about an angry graduate who returned to his former school and demanded to see the dean. The graduate handed over his degree certificate and graduation gowns to the confused dean, and demanded a cash refund of his school fees.His beef? The degree couldn't help him find a job three full years after graduating. So he wanted his money back!In order to make sure that cartoon does not become real in nigeria, we have to fix many things worrying our educational system. Here are solutions to three of them;

Rising Fees These days, an increasing number of people are comparing getting an education to buying another commodity on the market. For such people, gone are the days where education was a higher value good that was pursued for its own benefit of enlightenment. People now do a cost- benefit analysis that measures the returns on schooling in purely financial terms.Whilst this line of thinking is flawed, economics can explain the logic. Whenever people have to pay what they judge to be expensive prices,they feel a greater opportunity cost. Consider a private university in adamawa state that charges the equivalent of 2 million naira (4,000 USD) for a year. Clearly, a struggling parent will think twice before spending that kind of money. But if the same school cost just 40 USD, the thinking twice doesn't even arise.A cost analysis of school fees reveals an interesting point.In other countries, schools spend heavily on fancy buildings, extravagant sporting facilities and coaches, entertainment events, and marketing. Comparatively, nigeria institutions are not as profligate, at least not yet. to solve this problem. anything universities can do to cut fees is welcome. In the short term, schools can start by cutting costs on items that do not have a direct bearing to teaching and learning. Over the longer term, they may explore creative ways offund raising such as getting donations from successful alumni, going into joint ventures with private companies, commercializing research work etc. With these, they do not have to burden students with strangling fees.This is also a good time for schools to take a second look at their content and make it more transformational. There is a saying that some people 'pass through the school, but the school does not pass through them'. Those are the kind of people who will show up one day to demand their refund.

Career Direction When the information technology sector first opened in nigeria lot of smart young people went to study programmes in IT certification ccourses. including degree. they graduated with high hopes only to be crushed by a sad reality- yes, there were jobs in that sector, but the vacancies were mostly for the indians expatriate technician and not nigerians clever mind, no top management jobs either.It is sad to see qualified people become misfits because theytrained in the wrong subjects.This begs the question; Who advises our young people on careers? No oneTo solve this we need to take career and academic guidance more seriously. .Our schools need a solid counselling programme that advises young people right from the start of their programmes. Truth is, whether we admit it or not, there is an assumed agreement that when people undergo a tertiary education, they expect their chances of landing a job to increase.It is time for our universities to face this assumption and actually point our smart brains in the right direction, not just give them general training and dump them into the world.

Graduate UnemploymentDegree inflation is when people need progressively higher qualifications to perform the same jobs they could have done with basic qualifications.There is a link between graduate unemployment and degree inflation. Decades ago, my parents could use just an A level or diploma to get an entry level assistant job in a decentcompany. Today, bachelor's and master's degree holders queue to interview for such jobs.It is now very rare to see people working in corporate nigeria without a diploma or degree. It doesn't matter if the job duties they perform actually require those qualifications.There is a simple explanation for this. The job market is a seller's market because there are way more job seekers than job creators. So the employers have more than enough to pick from. Months ago when jobsonline.com put out a job ad for 10 candidates, we got more than 400 applicants. In a seller's market, it is hard to blame employers for demanding higher qualifications.Let us be clear. The only permanent cure for unemployment among skilled people is entreprenuership.Other measures are simply first aid.Employers can administer one type of first aid if they ask applicants to show technical skills that prove competence instead of certificates that only prove course completion. For example, eight years ago, a leading telecoms company had a critical sever problem and needed computer programmers. They simply gave each applicant time to come and actually fix the problem. They got their solution and it didn't come from a computer science PhD holder.

Are you an Economist undergraduate/graduate

am not an economist. am also not a novice. in reccession perioud a trainned photographer can become a farmer if that is the only hope of surviving. but all things equal why will a photographer become a farmer. remember the civil engineer guy can not get a paid job.

To the best of my knowledge, frictional unemployment can occur under three circumstances namely

1) A graduate who appears unemployed because he just finished his university education

2) Someone who is umemployed because he was sacked in his former place of work

3) Anyone who leaves his former job in search for a better one.

If anyone falls under these conditions then s/he is said to be unemployed frictionally. The answer to the question the OP asked can be seen in cased three.

You chosed Structural unemployment, but sincerely you are wrong because structural unemployment talks about the change in the structural composition of an industry.
For example, the case of structural unemployment is said to have occurred when there is redundancy in the 'video cassette ' industry as a result of introduction of DVD player.

Yeah, Frictional unemployment do with movement but structural unemployment is concerned with change of taste.

Phew.....thanks

under normal circumstances why should a graduate appear unemployed becuse he just finished his education. your number two point is ok. the last three point agree with mobilty

kelvinreality:
Frictional unemployment

defend your point . frictional unemployment is all about mobility
