Na waoo for our graduates nawa days

Do all graduates offer computer courses in school ?

how do you expect them to be able to operate it without difficulties when there was no proper training.too bad for INEC.to me,i think they disappointed us themselves

celemel:

Does he not know that every graduate of the Nigerian tertiary education system, who has managed to graduate even with a Pass class of degree must embark on the NYSC and that most of the corps members are not employable and cannot even spell their names at all?  Something is definitely wrong with our dear Professor!

And u think something isnt wrong with u?

H$LBroker:

Those graduates that can't operate a computer system, and inability to work with Microsoft office application programs are really disgrace to this country Nigeria, that is my view, because at this modern age, our graduates should be perfect in operating computer system and office application programs.

I stand to be corrected but that is my view.

Corrected, hmph, you merely stand very wrong!
Where in the school curriculum (primary to tertiary) does it provide computer training for students? The plain and simple fact is that VIRTUALLY all who have learned to operate a computer system in Naija today have done so through personal means. That aside, it should be considered that most corps members who applied for the INEC jobs are those who need the paltry N20,000 that they will be paid after 15 days of gruesome work. I am serving right now and I tell you that I almost paid people to ensure that my name did not come up for the task. It therefore stands to reason that those corps members are not the creme of student society that would most likely have been exposed to computer training, not by their making but default.
We cannot just come out and start blaming corps members without considering their formative societies. If Jega is disappointed in corps members for their incompetence then the entire Nigeria should go up against him for his! Simple.
That said, it should also be noted that INEC categorically asked each and every applicant how proficient he/she is with a computer, so c'est la vie i guess.

Never will Govt and her parastatals accept a fault, always shifting the blame. Even When the Registration was manual, the printer and stationery suppliers were the ones to Blame.

What has this useless links got 2 do with the erroneous facts u tabled abt internet penetration in the SW?

INEC should not shift their inadequacies to innocent corpers, the computers are inferior and they knew it.All they need to do is to work on it to improve.

ROFLMAO!!!!

Now I need to read the graph for you as well? ROFLMAO!!

Behold, let the blame game continue!

Are these nut d same system used by mobile network operators using even an O'level student (in my area)?
If MTN can deploy d young lady dat did my mtn reg. 4me, using same sets of system, y can't INEC deploy d Corps members wit adequate knowledge?
Shifting blame (transfer of aggression) is not d solution. if they decided not 2 take d corps members through training coz dey (INEC) want 2pocket d fund meant 4 training, dey should save us d brouhaha,

IT ONLY SHOWS THAT INEC WAS NOT FAIR DURING THEIR RECRUITMENT PROCESS BUT ONLY ENGAGED 'RELATIVES, FRIENDS & LOVERS'   AS THEIR ELECTION OFFICERS. I wonder what would happen to our votes!

Actually I do. I'm One, I agree with that there r a lot of unworthy degree holders out there but no matter the amt, there's still no justification to lump all together and treat them all as one. Not even one.

Nigeria, what a funny country. When I was shouting about the obvious failures of INEC in the recently concluded Delta state election  re-run, some folks on here shouted me down.

At that time, I was raising the alarm that all doesnt seem well with INEC, Well according to Chief Zebrudaya "How You are".

Inec well done

thank you my brother.

Men education is really terrible in this country, no matter who we blame, the ultimate fault lies with the past leadership who have failed to provide a concrete foundation,

so una mean say on should not assume graduates of 2010 are computer literate?? choi!!

Exactly what a friend told is happening is kogi state where virtually all the ad-hoc staff are indigenes who are not necessarily corpers.

aikuda:

Behold, let the blame game continue!

It is really sad that an INEC rep should try to shift the blame to our corpers when INEC has had so much time to prepare for this(They gave us the schedule).

violent:

that's rude and uncalled for!

You want do like better person now. Na me u want take shine abi?
Ok I've taken it back (modified my post). She just has a penchant for getting on peoples nerves. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

we have a fundamental problem, it is deeply woven into the very fabric of our society! shame, on us all

I am a corper. After the training we realize the finger print scanners were faulty. These complain were made known to INEC officals but they told us it is national issue and we should use it like that and stop complaining. A case of Olusegun Obasanjo where it took 2hours for him to register with the presence of the state Residential Electoral Officer

INEC = Bunch Of Fools!!!

He also admitted that the upfront allowance the corps members were to be paid before the start of the exercise could not be paid due to tedious banking process, a development which also made the process of registration slow as many of them had nothing to eat during the exercise.

Why are you all ignoring the above remark? How do you expect someone to perform effectively on an empty stomach? A hungry man will be slower in his activities than a man with full belly. I believe that INEC is unfair in blaming these helpless corpers. Are the corpers responsible for the inability of OBJ and Mark to register?

We need REVOLUTION!!!!

I think NYSC should demand for an official and nation-wide broadcast of apology from those idiots called INEC

wahala dey!!!

employers are hearing this one;; hope to employ dis barge of NYSC members will not be very difficult ooo,

the corpers are saying its d machine fault,

my question is

when u knew that the machine where not operating well intially and INEC refuse to change them; why did u not  pull out of the campaign;; why?

just 4 d sake of few thousands of naira; ur future reputation / the certificate u suffer to get is not being questioned,

as for i knew INEC brought second-hand machine and pocketted the cash; but just looking 4 whom to pass d blame to.

POOR CORPERS ARE VICTIMS!!!!

Corper, dem say una no sabi anything, dem say all of una na Olodo's na true?

INEC should take responsibility for all this rubbish. Where i went to the people were there alright but they said the laptop had not come so whose fault is it?

Blame the corper na. . . . . . . .for not making the laptop come on on time. . . lol
Useless INEC theives

As the voters’ registration continued on its fumbling note into day three yesterday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), attributed the inefficiency to low knowledge of the corps members who were deployed as registration officers. The Commission, while apologising to members of the public for the delay and general inadequacies attending the exercise across the federation, said “we are sorry but we will continue to improve.”

Featuring on a political programme, “Focus Nigeria”, the INEC National Commissioner in charge of Publicity, Prince Solomon Soyebi, lamented that the commission was not happy with the development but explained that the commission took it for granted that the corps members would know the basic operations of a computer, a belief, he said, turned out to be misplaced.

So the best Papa INEC can do is to throw his children under the bus?

So that INEC top commissioner who failed to get OBJ registered na corper?

Shameful! SMH

@INEC: how very touching! now its graduates that are to be blamed for not being able to work those slow CELERON , Chinese powered machines that you ordered. Before we even go far, how do you expect a graduate to properly work a computer if he doesnt have one to himself / herself? And those that can actually afford one, how many hours per day do they have the power supply to use them? Okay you trained them right? for what? 6 hours in 2 days and then administered a typical NIGERIAN theory exam to them? Do be ridiculous! I am currently serving, I am NOT a part of the AD-HOC staff simply because I can just visualize the whole thing from here. Poor corpers sitting in the sun, slow net-books and webcams with outdated drivers, and useless internet link.
Still on the matter, whatever happened to the allowance they were supposed to receive BEFORE the exercise commenced, even the encouragement from that would help boost a corper's interest in doing a good job as ad-hoc staff, INEC stop looking for CHEAP LABOUR after-all billions of naira were allocated to this exercise!
Abeg leave corpers out of the blame on this, yes, a lot of corpers are not computer literate and tech savvy but at least they could learn if given the proper tools,
OLODO INEC!
