Question: Who is going to marry all the SS ladies and gentlemen?

Sensible question. I once went for a seminar for SS and same question asked. Instead of running away from them, why not the AA show them love by marrying them? If AA marries AA, who'll marry the AS and SS? What a selfish world

habsydiamond:
Its better he divorce her than to keep her and regret for the rest of his life. Being a SS come with great burden... it can turn an rich individual into a poor man in a matter of few years if not months.

Very wrong Sir.

#250 in my area o. Apo Dutse F.C.T Abuja.

It is well o

Hmm. In as much as such fallacious practices exists among the gullible ones, I don't think this one is real. This is Photoshop. I'm out

Thanks. I never knew this

Not for as long as stated. Frustrated yes but not for ever.

enemyofprogress:
Most female bosses are frustrated from home and other life problems

I think I agree with you.

marttol:
her crush is in the organization, and probably falling for you,that's why she changed towards you...my opinion though.


Abi una be lesbian, so she has started seeing you around men??

God help us.

I'm not surprised. I was told by the holy book that such things will come. This makes me believe the Bible the more

id911:
May God bless our incoming President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. The outgoing President Buhari has done so much damage to the system and I have full confidence in the ability of our incoming President to cleanse the system and restore sanity.

The outgoing President is so dull and lacks common sense, he knows nothing about politics. We will teach him and his BMC agents a lesson he will never forget in a hurry. More defection to follow later

I don't think that's correct o. Atiku? What is the difference?

I think telling your partner your real motive on time is better and safer cos he/she might see it as a late arrival. But if we must be friends first how long should that be? Is a month of friendship too small or too long?If other guys go before you, its risky. You might end up loosing o. You end up being her mere friend while she dates someone else and eventually gets married.

dirifred:
My dear, Don't swallow everything you see on NL, they can be made up just to get the kind of reaction you are giving now

My dear thats not true. am a resident of rivers and i passed through that area yesterday. I saw the security men live.

But please i hve a question o. These so called boko haram sect. are they political fighters or religious? I use to dislike the hausas since boko haram issue arose. But seeing that Youth from these northern states are opposing them it tells a different story. Who are these uncircumsized philistines and what do they want?

I have a visafone wireless router but am tired of subscribing with huge amounts such as 7500 for 5GB. please how do I unlock it to use all Sims especially Airtel? I really need help. Thanks.

Tried to steal an egg. From the fridge thinking it was boiled. Unfortunately it was fresh. Gosh just had to swallow it before I gwt caught. Hahahahahaha

I've been using my android phone to watch matches and it was fun. Just that I got tire of the fact that it doesn't have unlimited plan like blackberry does. So I exchanged it with my friend who had also liked my phone. But fellow nairalanders I got fed up when I couldn't watch matches or even TV on my Blackberry curve 3. I have gone to blackberry Apps world and saw a tv application but meeeen it sucks. Can't even show you anything. Please does anyone know a particular application that I can use to watch tv on my blackberry 9300 just like sybla tv in my Android. I can't just pay 1500 for pinging and whatsapping alone. Its very annoying. Please help. I'm missing la liga and others.

A, B, & C are to share #24,000. In every #4 A gets, B gets #5. And in every #9 B get, C gets #16. How much do they share?

cj1080: So I just got a dandy bb bold 3 (android fan) cos of the noise from friends and colleuges (still find it a bore though).

Now unlike my android, I find that the bloody thing can't stream youtube videos from youtube.(Bummer).

So I decide to dig deep to find a solution to this conadrum and I find a lot of "its not possible over bis boo bo bo huhs".(Serious bummer).

I began to ask myself"u mean I am stuck on tubidy and vuclip on this thingy, no there must be something".

And alas it came to me via and obscure forum somewhere in cyberspace far far away.

So listen up, I will only say it once.

First you need a BB with OS 7 or a BB with browser updated to version 7. If not it won't work.

Next you need to go to youtube's website. Now this is where it gets interesting.
Notice that anytime you open youtube on yor browser or operamini it takes you to m.youtube.com.

Yeah and when you try to watch a video it tells you some crap about about only via your mobile network and YOU WILL BE CHARGED.

Now when your on mobile youtube, before you select a video, do me a favour, scroll down tothe end of the page.

You will notice a place it says mobile/desktop, with mobile in black.
Now click on desktop. It will take you to youtubes desktop site.

Now for the tricky part.

Wait for it,


Wait for it.

And just select a video let it open and wait for page to load, once it loads,wait for the video to play.

And that's it.

What were u expecting some fancy code url thingy.

That's all. Just make sure you keep the black video window visible.

You will notice the video loading after sometime. Then start to play on its on.

You will also notice your bb sign won't vanish either.

P.s some times it may tell u that " this video is not available for this device" just close the window and reopen it and it will play".

Ps please not it has been tried on a bold 3 and a touch 1 and 2. And it has been tried only on mtn's BIS.

Check whether glo or etisalat will alway you.

Yea guy I knew this before now. I'm fund of dangling my boss's curve 4. The first time I watched a video, I emptied his balance. Though he wasnt mad at me. So the next I handled it, I just felt there must be a way out. So I scrolled down the page and saw that option so I decided to give it a trial. I watched till I forgot I was in a working envirinment. It works even with other networks.

But my challenge is i'm yet to use it on my HTC G2 Android platform.

[quote author=Scarpon]some people will just enter any tread on nl an start spitting all kind of rubbish. dude u ain't gat respect for your self and others??[/quote


Yes I support you. While other come online to give useful opinions others exhibits boisterous and unruly attitudes. Such people dont go far in life.

Phemmyolas: You cannot give what you don’t have…

Conventional higher education in Nigeria is of three basic categories: University, Polytechnic and College of Education. The University awards Degree Certificate, Master’s and PhD; the Polytechnic awards Higher National Diploma and Ordinary National Diploma (otherwise known as HND and OND, respectively); College of Education awards Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE).

While there exist a somewhat mutual understanding between the Polytechnic and College of Education that HND certificate is higher than NCE and that NCE is higher than OND, there is always a contention between University degree certificate and Polytechnic HND Certificate. This rivalry gets played out on the street and in work places.

A common phenomenon among employers of labour is to superimpose university graduates high and above polytechnic graduates, even when the latter could be better and has spent a considerable time/year than the former in the same organisation. Consequently, a holder of a university certificate is revered; he becomes the boss with higher remuneration and other attendant benefits. It is also a common tendency for a university graduate to miniaturize holders of polytechnic certificate.

The dwindling popularity of HND certificate is also obvious in the number applicants jostling to secure admission to our tertiary institutions through the compulsory Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Very few applicants desire to go to the polytechnic (or even college of education), all because of inferiority complex.

I have been attending JAMB Policy and Technical Committee meeting since 2007; the number of applicants to university increases yearly whereas there is a significant reduction in applicants for polytechnic and college of education. The problem becomes more glaring with the introduction of UTME. Some universities record as high as 80,000 to 100,000 applicants (though they may not take more than 5,000), whereas some polytechnics and colleges of education do record zero applicant. This happens yearly.

But why the disparity?

Answer to the above could be found in the calibre of lecturers in our polytechnics.

Universities are mostly peopled with PhD holders and professors, but one can hardly find lecturers with PhD in our polytechnics. Of course, there are those without PhD in the university too, but these are few and they know that upgrading their knowledge is a requisite to remain relevant in the system. Thanks to the conditions stipulated by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

In essence, some of the lecturers in our polytechnics lack the academic and technical wherewithal to baptize their students with the required skill and knowledge. But the problem goes beyond that!

It is common knowledge that lecturers in our polytechnics rely heavily on selling of hand-outs to students. This is not good enough. It is basically impossible to compare somebody that is compelled to study average of ten textbooks for a course (as is common in the university) with somebody that relies of an 80-page hand-out. Definitely, a student thus tutored and literatured with many textbooks will be better equipped since these textbooks must have been written by different scholars with variegated views, opinions and assumptions on the same discipline.

Of importance also is the disparity in recognition and remuneration of lecturers in the university and polytechnic. Few lecturers in the polytechnics that aspire to acquire higher knowledge will eventually leave for better remuneration and recognition in the university system.

The problem with HND certificate is not in the certificate itself. The perceived inferiority is borne out of the environment in which it is issued. It is just not possible to relate the calibre of lecturers in our polytechnics to what we have in the universities. And it is not enough to just conclude that we have brilliant brains in our polytechnics; what matters (as far as Nigeria is concerned) is the certificates/qualifications these lecturers have. Until this is done, there will always be the superimposition of university degree above polytechnic HND.

Rather than the hyped tussle between university degree and HND certificate, efforts should be on reforming our polytechnics. National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the manager our polytechnics, should enforce the acquisition of PhD as a minimum requirement for lecturing. I am not advocating the termination of appointments of those without PhD. This could be done be giving them between five to seven years and with the provision of study grant.

While we cannot say that all PhD holders worth their salt, it is evident that a PhD holder must have passed through serious academic rigour and should be far better than somebody that lectures with only HND, First Degree, Master’s, or professional qualifications like MBA which is more common in our polytechnics.

We can make the HND certificate better and more competitive. But it requires some fine-tuning of the system to achieve this.

There will always be a disparity until our polytechnics employ PhD holders and professors, since the current crop of lecturers cannot give what they don’t have!

Nice one Femi. I think av been in a debate about this before. Now I have a clearer view of the difference btwn both citadel of learning. Its really obvious cos even at my place of work, the pay is low. I noticed that only a few complain about this and resign, while the greater population remain powerless and voiceless. This is because most of them are either second class lower or HND holders. Thank God I'm experiencing this early enough since am yet to enter into any of them. I think I have to work hard to get in a university. Except like you said, the polytechnics are fine-tuned. Besides my dad has always countered my going to a polytechnic.

apexlink: what are the reasons you want to go for electrical engineering?
i must be honest to you electrical engineering is not for lazy people
here are d subjects.
1.physics
2.chemistry
3.Further maths

u need a sound knowledge of further maths.

Welcome to the elite profession.

Well cos that has been my dream just that I lost focus and followed my best friend to art class who wanted to study Accountancy. Thanks for your advice.

Artistree: I am trying to marry the headline and the story...they refused to merge.
Please does anyone know where the Op got the gist from? Cos the Topic stated something else I didn't read here...pls help!!!

I think you should read it carefully and you'll discover the link that directs you to the page where you can find the full story. I just did.

Please fellow nairalanders I'm a secondary school leaver that did art subjects in school. But I want to go back and read science to study electrical engineering or electrical electronics. Please which of them is more recommended and what are the subjects to concentrate on in other to study any?

Regards.
Polema.
