Alakori !

What dont you understand?

My head is aching terribly because I am completing a research paper after drinking red wine. Is that expected or am I not ok?

My friends are trying to introduce me to partying but I am curious as to the benefits of partying. I do not know how to dance but I hear parties are not about dancing but about getting drunk and have sex-in-clothes. What are the pros and cons of partying?

Hey u guys keep it coming. I am really learning a lot.

Thanks Mods for putting this on the front page.

busquests and xavi is a chiting dievin cunt.

You can always be an engineer, depending on the route you choose to adopt. Things will just revert back to the days of our parents, where many of them did an NCE or some technical course, got employed, and then paid their way through university, part time or via distance learning. The very brilliant ones got scholarships and bursaries. In any case, I don't think every school will charge 350k.

So if your folks have the money, you should be able to go direct to a university, and study whatever you like, provided you meet their minimum requirements. If not, you're going to have to try out for a scholarship or bursary scheme. Alternatively you can go to a technical or teacher training school for free, get their certificate, work for a while, and put yourself through school. This would even influence your choice of school, rather than perception.

Right now, because of the so-called democratization of tertiary education, this is what happens: You are subjected to UTME and post-UME, and eventually, unless you do exceptionally well, you have virtually no chance of studying in Unilag and OAU, or any of the frontier schools, even though they are not really quality enough.

You are now forced to either go to a rundown state uni or even a polytechnic, glorified secondary schools in terms of facilities and teaching staff, even if you have the money to pay for OAU or Unilag.

My nephew in the US who lives in New York state would like to go to Johns Hopkins in Maryland for his medical degree, but he has to settle for Rutgers. Do you know why? As an indigene of New York State, he gets to pay a reduced fee. Education should work like that in Nigeria.

If we want to have quality education, and get the recognition of the outside world for our programs, we need to run the tertiary education system like a business, with an expected output. You as an engineer should have a pre-determined training cost, and an expected ROI after graduation. We should be able to say, it cost about N1m to train an electrical engineer up to Msc level, and such a person should be worth, say, N5m per annum to a company that would require his or her skills.

Of course, there should be a cap as per legislation like you have elsewhere. For Nigerian students, public universities should have an upper limit beyond which they should not increase the fees, and ditto for private universities. That's what regulation should be about, as well as accreditation, and funding sources. We should be able to achieve such in Nige

Really interesting. So if my folks do not have money, I should subject to a longer route to higher education. I cannot change your opinion but this is the very definition of classism and elitism. Scenario: My parents cannot afford school fees so I wait for several years after graduation from high school to earn a degree in a field with higher earning potential. Consequences: Well, the rich kid gets the job before me, is younger than me, more labor-competitive than me and over the course of a generation, the gap and earning power between the rich and poor widens and the vicious cycle continues. Capitalism is really about giving everyone a fair chance, this does not do that.

Right now, because of the so-called democratization of tertiary education, this is what happens: You are subjected to UTME and post-UME, and eventually, unless you do exceptionally well, you have virtually no chance of studying in Unilag and OAU, or any of the frontier schools, even though they are not really quality enough.

You are now forced to either go to a rundown state uni or even a polytechnic, glorified secondary schools in terms of facilities and teaching staff, even if you have the money to pay for OAU or Unilag.

With your suggestion the poor that do exceptionally well will not get into OAU or Unilag and they will have to struggle with other poor students for the state schools. However, rich and average students will get into the best schools. Where is the meritocracy in that? Classism again.


I agree with you though that if government regulates vigorously then most of these may be avoided. That is why I believe that social services like education should be well-controlled by the government. America may treat education as a business, but UK treats it mostly as a social service and the systems are just about the same, with the UK's system being more egalitarian: this is what Nigeria should strive for.

@Mugu-gee

I heard a life is on sale at Walmart (at below $1), I think you should grab a copy NOW!

@dani1luv

Did u attend NNSS ABK?

@Mobinga

I will not become popular because my penis is what you would expect. So no surprise factor. Except if everyone just goes crazy at the sight of a penis no matter how big or small.

@FriedBurger

The samething that brings makes me always login to Nl is the samething that pisses me off.

What is that?

@dani-luv

I am sure you attended NNSS ABK because that line originated in my presence.
