Do you realise this is FrankNetter's thread?.....he's trying to build bridges .... and here you are trying to divide...trying to sabotage...trying to overthrow him. I assume you are in the US... on the backs of the very Akatas you're attempting to put in a negative light. The major networks been doing the same...and here you are piling on........in Frank's thread. What kind of man would enjoy the fruits of another man's labour....then piss on him? You have lost my respect.

Easy bro, if you see a log in your brother's eye and stil ignore it, means u hate him. Akatas have forgotten who they are, they are lost

Hmmm.....not clear on the log in the eye part. Akatas have not forgotten who they are...... they don't know who they are....thanks to some of our ancestors... and yes...they are lost. So what do we do? ... mock them?...or try to reconnect them to their roots?

I would just go right ahead and itemize the differences between my education so far here in the USA vs my education in Nigeria. I would do this under two headings: Similarities and differences.

SIMILARITIES

1) Matric Number: Where you have the matriculation number for nigerian students, you have the student id number over here for US schools which is basically the same thing.

DIFFFERENCES

1) Admission process: Whereas the admission process in Nigeria is lengthy and stressful, getting admission into school here is quite easy. Where
there are multiple exams like JAMB and post utme exams in Nigeria, Over here, you just have to take a placement test which consists of English and Mathematics, your scores would determine which 100 level courses you would be required to take for your program.

2) Student - Lecturer ratio: This is one of the things that have shocked me the most. Back then in my 100 level, during our lectures, we were more than 2,000 students to 1 lecturer in one large never-ending hall, over here, its way different. When I got into class for the first time, I was surprised at how small the class is. I was seated in the class with like 14 other persons, I almost had to ask where the rest of the students are.

3) Flexibility: The school system here is really flexible to fit your schedule. You pick the classes you want, you choose the time you want your classes and you have the option of opting for physical or online classes. I chose to take two physical classes and two online classes. I also chose to take my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. In nigerian schools, you must physically attend your lectures in the morning (kindly point out any schools where it happens otherwise).


4) Attitude: This was another shocker for me. The lecturers over here actually WANT you to PASS! like I still can't wrap my head around it. Everybody is so helpful and polite, from the janitors to the lab instructors, everybody! My younger sister is in her penultimate semester studying pre-pharmacy and her CGPA is 4.0/4.0. My point is: if you want to study hard and pass, the lecturers are willing to help. Unlike in most Nigerian universities where the lecturer would tell you getting "A" in their course is a sin.

5) Open-mindedness: My philosophy class is super interesting. The instructor made it in such a way that no question is seen as a taboo, we have heated conversations on different topics, slavery, trump etc etc. one time someone asked if God normally has _sex, heaven did not fall. On the other hand, my philosophy and logic class in my 100L in Nigeria was taught by a reverend father who made sure to throw in his biblical teachings intermittently, looking back at it now, I think that was a tactic to get us to think a certain way.

I'll post more as time goes on.

you guys should bear with me about the lack of posts, I'm trying to adapt to the coursework and my job. I will post more frequently.

Ha!.....I'm surprised you even have energy to post anything. ... guess you find a way to get get around UPS energy draining work! Insightful update.... can see no time to chill. We see or hear about so many being successful....but the road to that success we never hear about in the details you be outlining.
"The height of great men reached and kept...
...was not attained by sudden flight
... but they as their companions slept

Keep on toiling bro.....I going back to sleep!

I recently went to one Burger King (at Matteson) to get some food and I ran into an old time manager who I worked with a few times. When I used to work at Burger King (at Chicago heights), she wasn’t traditionally working there too but she got transferred there a few times when we were short on managers. So they would call her to work a particular shift for that day.

When I walked into the store she was excited to see me, I was shocked and surprised. This lady is older than I am, so I was wondering what the ruckus was about. She then asked me if I’ve got some time to spare that she needs to talk to me. I only came to get a chocolate milkshake but I told her I got a few minutes. Long story short, she told me she was being transferred to “my store” (at Chicago heights) to work permanently as the general manager and that she would like me to come work for her as a shift manager .

I was excited at first but I didn’t give her an answer. I told her we would speak on the phone. She gave me her number.

After a few days, I called her and after the regular formalities, I asked her what the pay rate would be, she said $11.50/hour when I start, then $12/hour after 30 days. I tried to bargain with her to increase it, citing my reliability and work ethic. She refused to succumb. I then told her to give a few more days to think about it. But I never called her back.

I don’t think it’s a good deal cos when I used to work there,the managers at suffer a lot. If someone doesn’t show up to work, you have to help out fill in the space, if food or money gets missing, na you dem go hold, if a customer wants to be rude, na you dem go insult.

The major thing that made me reject the offer was the pay. I could waltz into any nursing home or hospital to work as a CNA (I’m still a Certified nursing assistant, remember?) and start getting paid $13/hour for much less work but to pay someone $11.50/hour for the workload at Burger King is unfair. Maybe that’s the reason they are short on managers

Thanks man, how body?

For yankee here, there are few open air markets. You know in naija if you want to buy household items, building materials like wood, nails, toilets, paint you drive down to the market & sadly most times, all the items you need would not be in the same market. So you have to juggle different markets. Well, for yankee here, they have specific stores for stuff like that. The two most popular are called “home-depot” and “menards”.

I recently went to one of them to get heavy-duty gloves for my work, so I took a few photos.

Everything you need, from paints to toilets are located here.

So the courses I’m taking are Psychology, Philosophy, English and Biology. The biology is divided into class and lab.

Last week, when we went to the lab for some experiments. We were handed thermometers to do some random readings. Having been schooled all my life in naija, I’m used to seeing mercury thermometers. But these thermometers we were given had kerosene in it.

I quietly walked to the instructor and she confirmed it was indeed kerosene, then I asked why they were using kerosene instead of mercury. She told me recent scientific studies have shown that mercury has an adverse effect on neurological (brain) functions in kids and teenagers, so they switched to using kerosene cos it pretty much has the same properties as mercury and has no adverse effects.

Guess which country still uses mercury thermometers? When will Nigeria catch up with the rest of the world?

Hmm,I wish the OP best of luck in his educational endeavours.I will like to add that there are good universities in Nigeria too that is atleast close to international standards but they are mostly private universities,let's be honest good education is expensive,that's when the government comes in with funds to improve the infrastructure and the sector as all in a way we can refer to as subsidising but it's not their concern,all they care about is their pocket greediness for power,the educational sector in Nigeria,the public ones to be precise will not improve and will be in a pool of stagnacy as long as the old and corrupted leaders are being recycled.

Bro, I’m sure Op is making his comparison between public universities in Nigeria and America, nowhere in his posts did he state that he’s comparing private to private, which even if he did, there would be no comparison anyway cos private schools in USA would beat Nigerian private schools hands down.

And yeah, Nigeria would keep moving backwards as far as we keep voting these Neanderthal goats to be our leaders.

For these upcoming elections, it’s either between Moghalu or Sowore (or someone new entirely)

Fvck Atiku, fvck Buhari, fvck kwankwaso

I could remember this is manager that called you to apologise after she f-up.

The problem with most Nigerians is, university should be free. Most Nigerian universities are too lazy to source for funds outside the shore. When government is not supplying funds, schools should help themselves. Good quality in teaching style and research advancement are two pseudo syndromes facing our schools, apart government failure to funding these institutions, because without these two, funds may become difficult in getting from foreign bodies. Good point from you.
