This's probably the first tangible long term effort to diversify the Nigerian economy. But, I'm not seeing pictures of serious chemistry, physics, biology laboratory.

There're only two ways such school would achieve its goal of helping children conceptualize science:-

(1). Must have world class labs.
(2). Must teach in our native Igbo language.

Anything outside this wouldn't make any difference in the output (students) coming out from other Nigerian schools.

Thanks brother, I appreciate your post a lot.
Firstly the school is only starting out for JSS1 students and all the equipments needed are available. The automobile workshop even have a car there to enable them begin identifying basic car components and basic troubleshooting at such young age.
secondly, the native language is included in the curriculum.
Thanks for your rational comment.

I'm so ashamed me applaud mediocre projects even when the same amount budgeted will build you something twice better elsewhere. Until you leave the shores of the country only then will you understand what I'm saying.

WorkSmartEdu:



Shut up and don't commit suicide over what you don't even know. You call this mediocre? Jealousy kills my friend!

This is simply one of the reason why our country never move forward. Instead of people to appreciate good work and praise it, they always backlash it, to discourage other people from embarking on such.

Thanks @WorkSmartEdu

Verifiable??
I have got backup images to my own claims........
Don't rely on media propaganda bro...... Go and see things for ur self.
Oga landlord, travel and see

Please Oga, my Images are here, feel free to open your own thread and post your own image.
Again, am not relying on media propaganda, its a first hand verified information.

Babangida70:



Don't say what you know nothing about.....
Go and checkout the government schools before coming here to talk gibberish.....

Please everything am saying here is verifyable. We are not talking of higher institution but secondary school level.

[size=14pt]Incompetent governors on private schools commissioning rendezvous from Aregbesola to Ugwuanyi.

#Nonsense[/size]

Lolz, I believe its commendable that governors appreciate private sectors as a tool for national development. Unless u think otherwise.

Phonefanatic:


You don't get it. This is 2016 and technology is advancing all over the world I expect you to compare it with science and tech schs in developed countries. Anything less than world class in 2016 is a gimmick.
That structure you see won't even stand the test of time of you know about buldings.

Please my friend, until u are there, I meant until u pay a visit to the school now that everything is in place, u don't have to judge the standard of things.
This school was not built with any model from Nigeria either US and UK. The dream of the school is from UK and that's where our comparison comes from.
If you are so interested in knowing more details email info@sstach.sch.ng and they will gladly welcome, lodge and finance your discovery tour.
As for the structures you can't stay on Nairaland and determine buildings that will stand the taste of time. Even if you are civil engineer, so reserve all that until you visit first hand.
Thanks.

Pavore9:


That is motivation for other private investors in the education sector.

You are right, remember they are just starting with JSS1 meaning that admission into the school is only from JSS1 so they can breed students of their vision.
#SSTAC

Phonefanatic:
Far below standard if you ask me.

A secondary school like that! Far below standard?
Which state has more structurally and equipment developed science and technology secondary school like that? Please Tell me please #Bad mouth

Pavore9:


it is privately owned, the Governor only went to commission it.

That's true, but the governor been present shows his appreciation and commitment to development of science and technology research institutions.

Chimarto:
Is it a secondary school or ND awarding institution

It is a secondary school. An O-Level awarding institution

There were initially alot of doubt from fellow nairalanders on the completion of the school before this academic session. relate to the post below to understand.

At the end of the day, them no go fit construct ordinary drainage if white man no supervise them.. rubbish.

UuzbaGuuzba:
.
I haven't seen any science or technology taking place. All I can see is a building windows and doors, chairs. In Lekki area of Lagos state there is a lot of construction going on. And to be honest this building is no different than many buildings there..
Maybe the owner has the plan/idea of making it into a science technology centre. In that case I wish him well. But for NOW, this is not news. This is a plain 'ol building like any other.
Where is the equipment? Where are the all the experimental materials? Books? PCs, servers?
What of the scraps the children should learn to disassemble and investigate the workings of? Where are the chemicals for chemistry? The labs the mixing flasks? The ropes, the pulleys for physics? How about the rain guages and weather boxes for geography? Where are the insects, ponds, vegetation for biology? Where are the drawing boards, drafting paper for Introtech and TD?
I enjoyed foreign science programs on NTA channel 5 Lagos, whilst growing up. I haven't even seen anything like we used to see on TV in the '80s.

DedeNkem:
All I saw was pictures of f*ucking building blocks, two f*ucking bunk beds, a lecture hall and a f*ucking conference room!
Where are the f*ucking computers!

The school have different hostels for male and female.

MORE PICS OF THE COMMISSIONING

GOV. IFEANYI UGWUANYI COMMISIONS THE FIRST SCIENCE/ TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL IN NIGERIA. (PICTURES)

In a clear attestation to its uniqueness and quality, and also the clear alignment with Enugu State’s government commitment to develop Science and Technology in the state, Shalom Science and Technology Academy was commissioned by His Excellency Rt. Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Gburugburu) on a day in which the management of the school was also celebrating a student of their sister college Shalom Academy Nsukka (SAN) clinching the second position in mathematics in Nigeria having represented the state.
During the commissioning and tour of the school, His Excellency Rt. Hon IfeanyiUgwuanyi (Gburugburu) stated that he was completely impressed with the project, which will turn the state and country at large into a science and Technology Hub. He further noted whilst congratulating the Director of Shalom Group of Schools, that the project was in line with his administration’s commitment to make Enugu state a Research and Development hub in Science and Technology. A commitment he had earlier on made at the just concluded “Oganiru Enugu state” this year.
Some Highlights of the occasion was:
The Official Commissioning of the School by His Excellency
Tour of the school by His Excellency Rt. Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Gburugburu) and other dignitaries
Presentation of innovative items built by residents of Enugu state etc.
Consequently, with the commissioning of Shalom Science and Technology Academy (SSTAC), it is ready to begin training students in the Area of Science and Technology only as her mission clearly states:
"Developing Nigeria scientifically and technologically, through early exposure of children to basic scientific and technological concepts".
Also many other dignitaries of Timber and Calibre were also in attendance to celebrate with Shalom Science and Technology Academy. Some of whom include:
Prof. Uche Eze (Honourable Commissioner of Education Enugu state)
Barr. Albert Edeoga (Chairman/CEO Zenith Survey Ltd.) He was also the chairman of the Occasion
Chief Sam Maduka Onyisi (CEO and Chairman Peace Group of Companies)
Chairmen of Local Governments, Enugu state. (Too numerous to mention)
Bishop A.E. Agbo (Anglican Bishop of Nsukka Dioceses)
Men of God were also present in their numbers. And so many more dignitaries.
Interested Parents and guardians are therefore enjoined to grab this unique opportunity and send their children/wards to a school with a clear direction and vision to raise children who will not only have theoretical knowledge but practical implementation of Science and Technology in the advancement of our society.
Finally, it is worthy of note that SSTAC only accepts students from JSS1, this is to enable them get the necessary skills over a period of 6 years. It is also a Tri-curricular (Nigerian, American and British) secondary school. For further enquiries regarding the school feel free to call 08178544300 or send an email to info@sstac.sch.ng.

My Chef sorry I have not pinged, couldn't site your number.
However, there are some existing vacancies at SSTAC right now. Do well to apply.07065667320. Visit the website or Facebook page to read more info.

Hello There are existing vacancies at SSTAC now. Visit our website on www.sstac.sch.ng to apply.

The truth is that those guys do alot to get to the top. Some of them have strings of sleepless nights. Believe me when i say that hustle pays.
Though one thing i hate about most celebrities is that they live a fake life.
#justsaying

You are right. Immoral dressing is one thing that gives me a lot of concern especially among our ladies and also when its worn to religious activities. I pray that the church stands firm against this trend of dressing among our ladies.

The poster above me called it a diplomatic bag. Lol.
Weather guilty of the scandal or not, i never expected the wife of the president to be arrested because she is under diplomatic immunity.
Church things...

Sometimes i see this country as a very funny country. Things that can never happen in civilised countries happen here and yet we are not perturbed.
How can the party encourage him to withdraw his submissions and let it be handled internally, those institutions are they there for fancy?
I pray God librates us for this civilisation blindness.

When it comes to betrayals Igbos leads, not Yorubas
Stop it: For the Igbos that are fond of calling Yorubas betrayals, STOP IT. You are very very wrong. The worst betrayals are Igbos. Like it or not. Many a Igbo, for a few bills can abandon what will benefit all and do what benefits self. If you go by the history of this nation, Yorubas always do what benefits their region and not self, while Igbos do what benefits self, at the expense of our own south east region and others. Get this fact straight for your own good.
Ultimate betrayal: Which betrayal is worse than as soon as an Igbo gets into power, they will become LORD OF THE MANOR. You make an Igbo man Chairman of his very own local Government, he forgets his own town and start primitively acquiring just for SELF. If he goes on to a become even more powerful, he concentrates in just grabbing money for himself and family only, while making sure others groan in poverty. There is no betrayal worse than this.
Oka mma n'ezi: You build industries all over the country, you build gorgeous house all over the country, leaving your own land to groan in pain, you dare call others betrayals? You go to a decapitated part of Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc and turn it into beauty, creating employment for them while annihilating your land via criminal neglect; and then you still look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you are not a betrayal? Igbo man betrays his land over and over and over again. That is the worst betrayal on earth, nothing is worse than that.
Deal: Let's make a deal, why not build 60& of your industries and businesses, and structures in Igboland, then you give other lands about 40%? This is a very fair deal and it is necessary for the survival of Igbo. Put legacy before profit, for you will be creating a lasting legacy of wealth and good life that generations unborn will benefit from. Please, pity your land, & pity your people. I promise to put over 99% of my all in my sweetest land, of Igboland.
Sweetest Igboland: 18 years ago, when I was younger and rascally, even I still sabi better then, to carry all the mula I made in the white man's land and balance a multi million-dollar 9 building structure in my town of Afikpo and my sweetest Igboland. 18 years ago! No be beans. If I do not beautify my land, who will do it for me, spirits? NO. The duty falls on me; Ude.
Igbo woman: The Igbo women, who were opportune to be in extremely powerful positions in this nation are no better. I am talking women who were touching billions of dollars always and these women who should be mothers of our land, were also busy acquiring for themselves, while we do not even have any where our people can clear their goods in Igboland, to stem the shameful migration of our brilliant minds, and youths to other lands in search of greener pasture. These women are praised for being world class brains, for being part of economic teams in Nigeria, etc. I say FA FA FA FOWL. I no send that rubbish. I cringe when some Igbos praise and adore them. For what I say, for what? What did you do for your land while you were there; seeing we are endangered, ? What did you even do for your town, did you turn the own of your birth into a small NYC? I ask because if you could not let your town speak for your brilliancy, open-eye, and knowhow then sorry you are not ready for prime time and truly cannot even do anything for Igboland as charity starts at home. Or should we go into the female oil baron that was in power forever, what did she do for her region, she concentrated on self and family only. Or should we talk about the Igbo political female heavyweights who should know better than to behave just like their male counterparts, thinking only of self. In your mind, iwari enya (you open-eye). Not possible unless you bring the spoils of it home.
Onitsha seaport: What will it take these powerful women and their male counterparts that were/are in power to put their heads together and see how Onitsha ports can come to fruition? What would it take Igbo power houses in Government, in various sectors, Top Igbo businessmen, 5 Igbo governors, national and international financiers to fund the Onitsha Seaport? Today we are grumbling about how Buhari hates us, so damn what? Are you expecting anyone to love you? You will wait eternity for that, love yourselves and your land. Make yourself and your land relevant and the rest will fall into place. It is maddening to see that we are going backwards daily with our penchant for endless and worthless cries of marginalization when it is apparent we're on our own, that no one will show us pity. We need a strategy that would evoke the resilience, brilliance and sacrifice within us. We must put our internal human and material resource to use and stop crying up and down like a bunch of little girls. Afikpo adage; ihie a maghi nke ej'emie, nkeje mie dim (every problem has a solution).
Self-serving: The Igbo lack the bonafides to call any ethnic group betrays when we are betraying our land, and ourselves daily. The typical Igbo person is too damn individualistic and selfish, all about self self self. And when he gets into power, all hell breaks loose, he will intimidate, devalue, mentally torture others, set standard for others than he cannot meet, concentrates all goodies on himself and his family; while those he is leading gnash their teeth in lack and in pain. So damn pompous, power-mad, power-drug, gets sick satisfaction at the size of his/her bank account at the expense of others, builds and builds and builds for self, buys every land available for no just reason, than he has too much cash and power. And because land might finish if he does not quickly acquire them all. So primitive, so demented, so self-serving, so black race, so sad, as the populace is left in agony of lack.There is no worse betrayal than this.
Hausa/Fulani: How can an Igbo person call any group a betrayal when our Igbos in power fall on top of each other in a bid to please the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy? So so embarrassing, so so so embarrassing. They will say whatever will please the Fulani even at the expense of their own lands. All to retain power or get more power. Oh I don't know if the power is made of all the gold in the world that will make me betray Igboland or humanity. They never born that power. I CANNOT ON THIS EARTH please any Hausa/Fulani at the expense of my own land. I cannot, and I will shout this on roof top anywhere on this earth. I do not need that which it will afford me. Better I stay in my bed and drink gari and eat my sweet groundnut than wussy up to any oligarchy for filthy lucre and power. NO NO NO NO NO. I will not be a party to such.
Compare: Some reading this will say, how about the Hausas, Yorubas, that do this and that? We are better than them, etc. Do not compare your ethnic group, Igbo, with any other. We are in a dire situation. We are the only major group that do not even have other Igbo speaking ethnic groups outside Nigeria; as obtainable for Hausa and Yoruba. We are on our own, we have no one at all, no help, no nothing, we are our own solution. We cannot afford to even compare ourselves with others, we must work hard to help our land and ourselves. we must become less individualistic and self-serving, we must look after ourselves and our land. It is very very necessary; for our survival as a people.
Dear Igbo man and woman, name callings have never ever achieved anything for anyone or any group. It is childish, failure-oriented and crass. The best revenge remains success. And to achieve that, we must think less of SELF, and think more of what will benefit all. That will be the first step in achieving success for ourselves, our land and humanity at large.
My pledge: I will always serve myself last. I will put my land, my people, and others, before my own selfish interest. My mantra will remain, All before self. I will continue to practice what I preach, I will continue to lead and live by example. I will not ask anyone to do what I am not already doing. I will not fail Afikpo, Igboland, and humanity. So help me God.
Yours Sincerely,
Maria Ude Nwachi (Afikpo Chic).
