Lol @ sexkillz petulant response to Seun's admonition. So sexkillz does not enjoy being told off

The most pertinent question is will Jonathan or Shepopo or any member of their family go to UBTH to undergo a stem cell transplant?

The last time shepopo had headache, we didnt see her for weeks cus she was being treated abroad.

Afam4eva:
MIT, Caltech and maybe Georgia Tech are out of it cos of the reasons you stated. I don't want an Ivy league school or their friends.

I'll most likely attend a public Ivy league school as it's often called. I prefer the US cos that's where i know people and there's where would be comfortable for me. I don't like the UK.

Ok.

Since you mentioned UCLA and Berkley earlier, are you thinking of going to California? The University of California system is very large, I think they have over 10 campuses apart from LA and Berkley for e.g Santa Cruz . Most of them are very good but I am not sure if they do masters in IT.

As for ratings, UCLA is more internationally known but Berkley has maintained a higher rating over the years but realistically speaking, I dont think there will be a massive difference in employers perception.

Afam4eva:
IT & BIS

Then it is better to look for colleges that are technologically focused i.e. MIT, Caltech etc however the aforementioned are very expensive and the entry requirements are very onerous, if you have a good GRE Score and a good GPA from your undergraduate degree, you can apply for a scholarship- extremely competitive but not unattainable.

If you want to go for mediumly priced colleges, i will recommend IIT, GIT and probably University of Virginia. Their masters programs are very good. You are actually spoilt for choice in the US. Just curious, why the US in particular? The UK has very good universities for your field too

Afam4eva:
Which nice schools are there. I know UCLA. How is it compared to Berkley?

Lets start from the basics:

What course do you want to do? What is your primary degree in?

adejoro75: Why do virtually all Yoruba support APC and expect virtually all Igbos not to support APGA?
I am confused

You will get an answer when you post with your real moniker and stop pretending to be a Yoruba man/woman.

ALTRUTH: I hereby prescribe that a life ban be slammed on Omonnakoda for harassing me all over nairaland calling me Afam against my will. This is online terrorism.

MODs, pls take out Omonnakoda for life b4 I place an irreversible curse on him.

Coming from someone that harasses Desola all over NL. How many shepke you don drink tonite? Abeg go sleep

morufoye: Fellow nigerians,
our incessant attacks on each other's religous belief at the slightest excuse lends credence to a popular assertion that religion has done more harm than good to us in Nigeria. haba, Nigeria is not the only multi-religious society in the world. could it be concluded that we are not mentally matured enough for Abrahamic faith and democracy. when has an individual become an embodiment of a particular religion in Nigeria. Quality leaders is what we need in Nigeria, not demagogues.

GEJ as a person is an intellect who has not really learnt the tricks of Nigerian politics

---

and that is what makes him a square peg in a round hole. the moment he became the president he was no longer the individual jonathan. he became a phenomenom. he became prone to criticism.

Really? Can you expatiate on that please?

omonnakoda: What is Tribal or Ethnic in asking for the whereabouts of the President during the civil war which devastated our nation so much.
Are we trying to set the precedent that any discussion of the Civil War is Ethnic and or Tribal
If Biafra is the word that the Ibo mods find so offensive we have changed it to Nigerian Civil War. It is NOT Tribal at all please.

It is indeed an interesting thread!

Like a lot of folks, I have never thought of which side Azikiwe's allegiance was; did he support the Nigerian government or did he support Ojukwu? What role did he play in the Nigerian civil war? These are interesting questions that this thread can provide answers and further illumination.

It is certainly not ethic or sectarian unless a Mod can prove otherwise.

omonnakoda: I find it strange that a thread on Abiola who never held any public office is considered neutral#
https://www.nairaland.com/1511499/gowon-god-took-abacha-abiola

and good enough for the Politics section

While a thread on the famous Zik of Africa is Ethnic

https://www.nairaland.com/1512032/where-nnamdi-azikiwe-during-biafra

Afam I know you are sensible Mod, can you please move the thread back to the Politics section or can we get an explanation why it was moved to the sectarian section so we can start from there- Thanks

Just yesterday , top BBC Presenter -Jeremy Paxman called the British Minister -David Cameron, a "Complete Idiott"

But you can not dictate to people what to and not say.

Fact!! ^^^

callmenow: I am talking as a person who has lived in the US and EU, specifically UK amongst other places. Please come to London and repeat that nonsense and see what will happen. What gives an ill-informed person like you the grounds to imply that Obama who is probably the most reviled president because of his ethnic make is receiving the level of abuse people like you give to GEJ. GEJ despite his faults is clearly head and shoulders above his critics in all measurable areas. What do you know? What is freedom of expression? To call your parents inane 'names'. Will that mean that I will feel that I am exercising my freedom of expression? You come on forums to expose you lack of knowledge and your myopic ignorance. I suggest you read opinions and not espouse things which you do not know much about. Democracy does not mean GEJ is your servant. He is serving Nigeria as the president. Remember NIGERIA. Not you as an individual. But the collective. Is your views a collective view? Here, there and over there.

That's nonsense!

Are you sure you have lived in the UK and US?

The amount of pressure that UK prime ministers get from the public, opposition parties and the media is unreal. Gordon Brown was called every name under the sun from a Fat fool to an incompetent slowpoke. After he claimed to have saved the world economy by nationalising Northern Rock and started engaging in quantitative easing, you dont want to know the names that the then Opposition Leader -David Cameron called him.

Jeremy Clarkson, a popular TV personality went on air and called Gordon Brown a "Scottish One Eyed Idiott" - That was the first time I knew Gordon Brown is actually blind in one eye.

It is absolutely disingenuous for you to come here and suggest that Nigerians are outliers when it comes to criticising their leaders. Please visit Guardian.co.uk, Telegraph.co.uk, dailymail.co.uk and read comments from Brits and you will quickly realise that Nigerians are very respectful towards their leaders.

Americans are even worse when it comes to the way they castigate their leaders. I cannot believe you even used them as an example

Actually I think, Nigerians are still conservative and have a obsequious attitude towards people in power, this could be due to years of military rule and the fact that politics in Nigeria is very tribal.

malele: Useless unrepentant OLD man.

Why do you say so? He performed his job as head of government, we can question and debate his methods but he did his job.

However I think he should reduce the amount of interview he grants.

Foolis.h yoruba man claiming igbo chick.

There is absolutely no need for the name calling

Kilichi: In Nigeria when those that feels govt appointment is there birth did get it they start ramping cursing govt in power.But when they get it they use it against the mass.God is watching.Including those that destroy ppls houses as minister and resold the the land to there cronies

It is only in Nigeria where people misinterpret criticism as cursing

Pukkah:

You're obfuscating the issues. I also stated in my earlier post that introducing distractions (e.g. the poster's mastery of English or Fasola's SAN) won't help your case.

The guy's request is quite simple. He would love to see the earlier work of his President. How's that a big deal for God's sake?

By the way, no one is saying having a PhD is a criterion (not criteria) for being a good President. They're asking to see his earlier work because he's their President and he claims to have a PhD.

The request is very simple and presumably innocent and there's no point to introduce complications, diversions and distractions.

^^^^ Simples!!
