As nairalanders rant about the up coming presidential elections,I have been asking the common man(with pvc) what he thinks about the current administration. I have noticed that even in the southern part of nigeria which is suppose to be the strong hold of the president(based on ethnic and religious considerations) doubts are emerging (especially in the south west) as the administration failed policy and current economic challenges seem to do him no good in addition to the insecurity in the country. From my discussion with people from Enugu, Anambra ,Lagos,Edo and Delta state,people seem to agree that this administration has failed in terms of employment generation,security and power supply. But after I read an exclusive vanguard publication about the low rate of permanent voters card collection in the country I was really sad.so my questions this morning are 1. Have you collected your pvc? 2. What do people in your locality think about the jonathan administration? 3.Finally, do you think this will be the closest presidential contest in nigeria? * Representing UNN |

At least 20 killed in bomb blast at northeast Nigerian school Mon, Nov 10 04:24 AM EST DAMATURU Nigeria (Reuters) - At least 20 people, most of them students, were killed in a bomb blast at a secondary school in Nigeria's northeastern town of Potiskum on Monday as they gathered for assembly before classes, a teacher said. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in Yobe State, a territory that has been hit by an insurgency by Islamist Boko Haram rebels. At least 29 people were killed in another bombing in the town on Nov. 3. "As it stands now, we have taken about 20 dead bodies to the hospital. There are some that are critically injured and I am sure the death toll will rise," the teacher at the school told Reuters, asking to remain anonymous.

First, they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me. —Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) When has it become a crime to be Christian or moderate Moslem, female and ambitious? Well, from the encounter below, the Boko Haram insurgents are trying to redefine what constitutes a crime in Nigeria. I have noticed that we in southern nigeria do not really care about what happens to our brothers in northern nigeria. We alway say it is north our business but I tell you it is. Why do you think america is spending its tax payers money on ISIS? It is because in the long run the activities of this group will be aimed at them. So is the situation in Nigeria, if we do not handle Boko Haram now, We would have to handle them when they are through with North Nigeria. And the Question I keep asking is why do our army flee in the face of advancing terrorist? I smell disloyalty, but disloyalty to who? GEJ The GOVERMENT THEIR SUpERIOR OFFICER NORTH NIGERIA Only time will tell But if I was in the army I will kill any fleeing soilder before he runs away, I swear. And I do not think Warri will fall easily like Mubi fell WITH or WITHOUT the assistance of the Nigerian army. |

A friend is currently having problem in deciding which university to attend the options are between UNN,UI and OAU. Those for me are the best in terms of character and learning. Their graduates are academically excellent, so which would you advice him to attend and why? NOTE: we are not talking of beautiful structures here |

As HND Discrimination Bill narrowly scales second reading in senate Abuja – The Bill for an Act to Abolish and Prohibit Dichotomy and Discrimination between First Degrees and Higher National Diploma in the same Profession/Field and related matters on Wednesday scaled second reading in the Senate. The bill, which scaled second reading after heated debate at plenary on its relevance, seeks to resolve controversy over wage disparity and gross discrimination against HND holder in public and private sectors of the economy. The Senate President, Sen. David Mark in his remarks, said it would be difficult to legislate on the bill, given that polytechnics were not originally established to be degree awarding institutions. He said rather than canvass for abolishion of the dichotomy, polytechnics should be changed to degree awarding institutions. “ The problem here is whether we can legislate on this. I think obviously that is not going to work for several reasons that we have all advanced here. “We can’t legislate here and say you must employ an HND instead of employing somebody with B.SC. “I think it is more of attitude than what we can legislate on but we can get an arrangement where the polytechnics begin to award degrees, in which case the polytechnics will no more be polytechnics; they will be universities,’’ he said. Mark, who did not outrightly condemn the bill, said it should be sent for public hearing, to get the views of relevant stakeholders on the way forward on the issue of dichotomy. He, however, said that “our attempt really to equate HND to a degree is not likely to work. Nobody who has done a degree has gone back to the polytechnic to do HND and you can’t blame that logic. “The whole essence of allowing the bill to go through second reading and public reading is for us to get more ideas about how to get the way forward. “That will be the only benefit that will come out it’’, he said. The lead debate, presented by Sen. Patrick Akinyelure (PDP-Ondo), highlighted the need to abolish the discrimination between HND and First Degree. Akinyelure said the continuing discrimination against HND holders was threatening to ruin the nation’s core policy thrust of evolving a technological and scientifically based society. He said that findings had proved that some polytechnic graduates were in some cases better on the field than their university counterparts. “To all intents and purposes, a government employment policy that places degree holders ahead of HND holders without recourse to skill and ability of the HND holder thereof does more harm than good to the nation’s development plans. “Therefore, the aim of the bill is to promote the technological advancement of our great nation by encouraging many qualified candidates to pursue polytechnic and technological advancement,’’ he said. Some lawmakers, however, argued that rather than seeking to abolish the dichotomy, efforts should be made to transform all polytechnics to degree awarding institutions. The Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ike Ekweremadu, said even if the bill did not succeed, it would help to raise awareness on the dysfunctional nature of the country’s educational system. He decried the growing trend where polytechnics offered courses outside their field, adding that in order to correct the abnormally, all polytechnics should be converted to degree awarding institutions. “All we need now is to expand the knowledge base of our polytechnics, increase entry qualification and employ qualified teachers for the polytechnics. “We should then make conscious effort to set up technical schools that would award only diploma to support our industries and help the system industrially. “To say we will abolish the dichotomy is difficult. The committee to handle the bill should invite experts to look into harmonising the institutions,’’ he said. On his part, Sen. ITA Enang (PDP-Akwa Ibom) decried the poor standard of some polytechnics in the country. He called on the regulatory body in charge of polytechnics to adequately regulate the establishment of the institution in the country. “I have seen polytechnics operate in two bedroom flats and this is the situation that brings suspicion about the quality of our polytechnics. “I have also seen standard polytechnics and the quality of their product compete favourably with universities.” He called on relevant agencies to improve on the carrying capacity of universities to accommodate all those seeking admissions. He also called for harmonisation of universities and polytechnics to help manage a situation where people went to polytechnics because they could not secure admission into universities. “This bill should pass a second reading to find solution to the problem. I support this bill,’’ he said. Sen. Chris Ngige (APC-Anambra) said in as much as he sympathised with HND holders, the bill should be dropped. He said that relevant agencies should rather harmonise the institutions and make polytechnics degree awarding institutions. “The bill evokes emotion but laws should not be made based on that to avoid mistakes. This has to do with fundamental structure of the education sector. “Let us conserve the resources of the senate; it will not go through second reading,’’ he said. Sen. Abubakar Bagudu ( PDP-Kebbi), a member of Senate Committee Education, said if the dichotomy should be abolished, there would be standardisation of policy.He argued that standardisation of policy was vital because universities and polytechnics had different structures. “The university is theory and research oriented as compared to polytechnic which is supposed to turn out industrial ready graduates,’’ he said. Similarly, Prof. Olusola Adeyeye (APC-Osun), the Vice Chairman of Senate Committee on Education, canvassed for the harmonisation of the institutions to enable polytechnics to award degrees. “I believe that for as long as there is difference in admission standard and training for both institutions of learning, there will be difference in employment. “ Let us go the U.S. way and equalise both polytechnics and universities and have specialised institutions to handle the technical aspect.’’ The lawmaker explained that Nigeria inherited the polytechnic system from the colonial masters, who thought of having a middle level manpower where people could be trained without the lengthy period in university. He further explained that UK subsequently abolished the system after meeting the purpose for which it was established to meet its industrial need. “We need to make the admission standard the same for polytechnics and universities; forget the dichotomy issue. It is a lie to say you need HND to run an industrial state,” he said.(NAN) |

As a regular user of facebook I know that if a guy has 100 friends 80% are females. I have also come to observe some things which are unfair and annoying one of such is when a guy takes a picture and some times even photoshop the pix(for the ugly guys) to make it more beautiful and then upload's the pix he does not even see a like or comment from ladies(even if the pix is fine) the highest they do is to download it(which is rare) or drop useless comment like»» this boy, ok , see your face , for your mind , who is that girl you are standing with? Which is not what most guys are expecting. But when a girl (even the ugly ones) drops a pix guys from all over the world begin to drop comment like»»girl you are hot, this pix is sexy, you look beautiful,I love you, I love your pix die, can I have your number, you look like an angel, you fine pass my mama and so on. So am just wondering why the girls get all the positive comments and like and the guys get non? The guys should also share their experience and what they think. |
