Nairaland / General / Why We Prefer The ‘semi-illiterate Jackboot’ To Thephd Crook by edy4u: 12:32am On Jan 06, 2015 |
Schools attempt to give an education but they do not give wisdom, intelligence, integrity, compassion or any of the other most important qualities of a human being and a leader. An education really does not proffer much, unfortunately and gives even less these days; perhaps this is why drop-outs like, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Harrison Ford are well known to us. And then when schools and degrees are honestly reviewed, there is the “attempt” aspect. How many of our schools actually do give an education? Passing exam is not education. As a teacher, I know precisely what I am saying. Our students either know “iwe,” which means, know the study material, or know their “way,” both pronounced the same in Yoruba. When we look at Nigeria’s President and the First lady who has been employed as a Permanent Secretary in Bayelsa, a B.Ed holder in Biology and Psychology from the University of Port Harcourt, you can only say, #DiaRisGodo! Perhaps Nigeria now more than ever actually needs a Jackboot (military disciplined) proud “semi-illiterate” “with no shoes” who comes from a position of under-privilege; who can relate and understand the plight and needs of the majority semi-literate, illiterate, miseducated, maleducated and wastefully- educated populace. We need someone who understands “challenge.” What we thought we were going to get in Jonathan who lied that he had no shoes (new childhood images showed him quite affluent, riding a toy horse in fancy shoes). If the intellectual spectrum a PhD degree confers, produces the type of leadership which struggles to reproach us that “corruption is not stealing,” then Lord give us a “semi- illiterate” who sees only black and white and understands that simple indiscipline is corruption, and ordinary corruption is stealing and that this stealing is killing. You see what it all boils down to is the decision making and the type of advisers a leader surrounds him or herself with. Can the President make the right call? Nigeria’s current President, Goodluck Jonathan has complained that his problem is he receives “contradictory advice.” So for instance, when his several advisers give him the following options to choose from in handling the insurgency destroying Nigeria: (a) Give an amnesty reward to Boko Haram terrorists (b) Support and equip the Civilian-JTF to defend their communities (c) Arrest the sponsors of terror (d) Stop the Army chiefs (and yourself) from looting all the funds for equipping the army (e) Recruit troops, volunteers and purchase modern equipment to seal the borders (f) b to e He simply goes with the first option that strikes his fancy. (a) in this case. It must be clearly stated and noted that not only does President Buhari have a school certification, the minimum requirement for competing for the Presidency, but also he has several other certificates from courses abroad that are “equivalent” as the electoral regulations stipulates. As a General and approved three prior times by the commission, he is automatically beyond qualified; however we are more interested in his underprivileged side. Indeed these particular skills—being one who has had to deal with the challenges faced by many of us, make him even sexier for the office. Today we realize it is not about East or West, North or South; not about Agbada or bowler cap. It is not about Yoruba or Hausa, Igbo or Igala. It is not about Muslim or Christian as #FatherMbaka said. It is not about PhD or illiteracy. It is about character and the wherewithal. It is about discipline and integrity. It is about objective, preoccupation and purpose. This race is about having the right skill set, the capacity, inclination and ability to do the job— to rescue a nation blessed with promise, tumbling down into debt, destruction, decay and death. Give us our semi-illiterate Jackboot and clear that place of the “PhD” holding elite nincompoop!

Religion / Re: The Birth Of Christ Is More Important Than His Resurrection? by edy4u: 1:05am On Dec 25, 2014 |
nymphomaniac: No disputing that though... But the question about what we choose to do or not should not be decided by what we feel. Our Lord was very clear on what he asked us to do, that is what we should do. Being a Christian means we are following Christmas not so custom. 1 jn 5:3 says... That if we claim to love God, then we must obey his commandment. If jesus wanted you to celebrate his birth,he could have done so and asked you to because such celebrations was done even then. |
Religion / Re: The Birth Of Christ Is More Important Than His Resurrection? by edy4u: 12:05am On Dec 25, 2014 |
But God's word the Bible pays more attention to his works and death than his resurrection. And the christ himself laid more emphasis on his resurrection than his birth... He even commanded his true followers to celebrate his death. What do you think... Should our personal feelings and desire be more important that obeying God's Word? Should our society and the immoral world we live in decide how we think or should we allow God's Word to guide our everyday life? Do not forget... God's word says we should not go beyond the things that are written 1 Co 4:16. And more importantly, God's Word says obedience is better than sacrifice 1 Samuel 15:22 |

The cost of inverters and battery is too much coupled with lack of electricity to charge the batteries. What would sell very much would be a fuelless generator. Get us a fuelless generator and see the market demand. I know there are a couple of companies outside this country that manufacture them. |

It's also depends more on the hardware. I'm using Windows 8 with Samsung series 3 notebook, 4g/750g hdd and core i5 and I'm enjoying it to the full. My advice is, check your hardware, they are definitely fault in your hardware as you are experiencing blue screen 24 Likes 1 Share |
