AjanleKoko:

LBS has surprisingly-high standards, regarding the delivery of their course content. I have passed through a few LBS short courses, and found their faculty very refreshing, and on point. They don't necessarily admit top-percentile students for their degree programs, but they are a B-School anyways. They are not profit-oriented in the Nigerian sense, I can tell you. They do their best to deliver solid quality as well.

even though they have a superb environment, i'm thinking they cant afford to do that cos the top percentile students more often than not, get scholarships to study abroad. the ranks then get filled with those that can afford to pay.

I wouldn't say Ghana because they don't even have the human capital to develop such institutions. SA, well, as long as there are whites and coloreds/Asians in there, maybe. But the black majority will eventually dumb down the quality. Bite me if you don't like that comment, but there it is.

from a human capital POV, i'd have to agree with you.

I don't think the talent pool in Nigeria has matured to the point where you can have a whole university for gifted students. What we need is for the universities (public or private) to raise the standards of specific programs to those days when the likes of OAU Elect/Elect, ABU Architecture, or UI Petroleum Engineering attracted top-scoring UME candidates. To get the quality back into these programs, the schools need to borrow a leaf from LBS, and pursue strong ties with private-sector blue-chips, as well as MNCs.

better still, some sort of "Virtual University" program for those with CGPAs above say 4.0, or some sort of "Summer Exchange Program" (within Nigeria) can fill that void, if they cant afford to fund it full time.

Just like the way they run NUGA games, they can move these bookworms from campus to campus every now and then for some "intensive study program" sponsored by govt or a few blue chip companies.

i think thats more achievable (and more cost effective) in the short term.

obowunmi: Why is a woman wearing swimming trunks?

slimyem: what should she be wearing?

'nokini, bikini, tankini or some other kini

AjanleKoko: Thinking on this topic again:

What would such a university focus on? Science and technology, the arts, law, or business?

they would do better to focus on STEM courses, seeing as thats what we need most to industrialize.

as per business, LBS would have filled that niche, but i guess they cant be too choosy about those they admit cos they are profit oriented.

the only way i see such a college working is if they are heavily fully funded by both the private and public sectors. admissions can then be solely on merit and not if you can afford to pay.

For a better yield, there would probably have to be a reasonable focus. Bells in Ota and ABTI in Yola are supposedly tech-focused private universities, so it might be reasonable to expect their catchment to be better streamlined in the next 20-30 years, barring the Naija factor.

they might be tech focused, but i doubt they are attracting the top 5% of JAMB takers, or will do so for a long time until something drastically changes.

As for public universities, I doubt you can create such elitist schools like Oxford and Cambridge in Nigeria, primarily because of quota system. The likes of Stanford and MIT are not public universities.

There was a time UI was our OxBridge, no?

even nowadays, UNILAG seems to attract the top percentile of those who want to study Medicine and Law, followed by UI then OAU.

For Engineering, the top percentile seem to gravitate towards OAU, then UNILAG.

So, barring quota systems, Porters' lists, VCs' lists and other lists, those 3 schools are kind of like our Harvard, MIT and Stanford when it comes to Medicine, Law and Engineering in Nigeria.

Interestingly, i find schools like Caltech more focused/concentrated on core subjects than MIT/Harvard/Stanford, [s]who sometimes relax their rules for various reasons (eg pedigree).[/s]

But the good news is, if there is any nation or people in Black Africa that can make that kind of dream happen, it would be Nigeria or Nigerians. I don't doubt that for a second.

i'ld rather say Ghana or South Africa, but i dont see anyone doing it soon due to cost/benefit factors. its just not profitable.

of what benefit is SULACAD today, and in what way(s) have their products significantly contributed more to national development than products of other federal government colleges or military schools?

just wondering if i'm the only one getting this?

I have worked closely with students and faculty from universities around the world, including some of the world’s best institutions. There is something……exhilarating…stimulating about studying with people that, smart as you are, are a half-step ahead of you. You are challenged to up your game daily. You are tired and stressed, but you can see your bright future and your place in the world so clearly waiting for you that you push on even harder. I think we miss that in Nigeria.

there are actually 1 or 2 universities in Nigeria that consistently attract the brightest of the best each year. OAU is one of such (or used to be?). especially their EE program. Maybe their Pharmacy program too.

Anyway, that’s my idea for you today. It may germinate in someone, it may not; I just wanted the idea out there. If you know anyone rich enough to do something about it, try sell the idea to him. It isn't as if such an idea is not financially sustainable. The sort of university I am describing will not just produce a string of super-successful graduates who are immediately ready to shake the world, but can also make the owner much richer. If you need more of my thoughts on this, you can get in touch with me and we can discuss.

the cost of private university education will probably push most of the bright ones to federal universities.


nice to know we have profs on NL.

jevic: Thank God no live was lost.

zeem_bab: One of my colleagues lost his aunt and 2 years old daughter in this accident.
Is so sad...........

this same accident?

sorry!

Freiburger:
Typical democrat.

pappilo:

By doing it live.

Remember this was in 1983. AIDS had only been scientifically classified 3 years earlier so I'd imagine it was the norm to have sex with working girls without protection.

It was the responsibility of the working girl to use contraceptives cause getting knocked up meant no work for her plus the burden of a bastard child. Men could easily treat any STDs contracted with antibiotics

interesting!

working girl == call girl.

"knocking up" is a serious hazard in such "occupations".

lol!

charcoalblaq: Emails have been sent.

Let us begin.

creating an email addy (for this thread?), and adding it to your signature, might be a better option for those of us who are interested, but cannot litter the internet with our email addresses. especially if there arises the need to extend the life of this thread beyond this space.

till then, i guess we'll just have to make do with watching from the sidelines.

good initiative though.

How do you get a working girl pregnant on duty?

kushkush: I need major help. I just a job as. market risk officer and I really do not know much of market risk

just curious, how did you get the job? were you working in a similar role before?

any plans in place to train you on the job?

RixExpat:

Why will you say that there is little or no opportunities for risk professionals in Nigeria? Is Nigeria not part of the global financial system being swept by the recent global regulatory overhaul brought on by Basel II and Basel III? Risk management is still at its rudimentary level in Nigeria. Part of it is because the Nigerian financial system is not deep ; mostly plain vanilla products like equities and fixed income (no active markets for derivatives and structured products) and the CBN is yet to talk tough on Basel II (maybe they lack sufficient staff members with the technical skills required to enforce Basel compliance). Virtually, almost all parts of the world have implemented Basel II long before even 2011 except few countries mostly found in Africa which is not unusual as we are always the last part of the world to catch up in most things. That said, I think as the risk profession grows, the potentials are enormous. Risk is the language of well run organizations now. Risk management is no longer the traditional 'avoiding unwanted risks' but modern risk management which is part of organizational strategy is about taking intelligent and well informed risks to achieve organizational objectives. In future, risk professionals in Nigeria will command the respect accorded their counterparts in other parts of the world who now have a voice in how organizations are being run. In fact, in some organizations with revolutionary thinking, risk management is not a separate unit but integrated in the investment management decisions. If there is anytime to get into the risk profession, I think it is now.

yes, i agree with you that Risk Mgt is very important and that every organization should/must embrace it.

so far, focus on this thread has been on definition and scope of RM , more or less.

i was looking forward to hearing from those practicing how their organizations have benefited immensely from RM (in Nigeria).

of course, i wont be surprised if most of the case studies come from financial institutions and/or oil companies. perhaps because they are required to conform to very international standards?

^ lets do the question & answer here na?

I still believe there are little to no opportunities for risk mgt professionals in Nigeria, especially at the entry level.

Apart from financial institutions and oil companies, i doubt that there are [so many] other sectors in which they'd be in high demand.

Am i right or am i correct?

Seems it was/will be launched from Ghanian soil, unlike ours .

Scientists at the Intelligence Space Systems Laboratory of the All Nations University in Koforidua, have launced the CanSat, a miniature satellite into space on Wednesday.

At this rate, hope there'll still be space in Space by the time i'm ready to launch mine?

nenergy: Stupid little girl, going to a man's house alone and at past 7pm. I'm sure her parents were away pursuing daily bread. If she escapes this case, she's tell the story to her grand-children. Nonsense!

maybe she followed him home to collect her birthday present?

[s]No idea the neighbours wont be home or of phcn wahala.[/s]

Her plan could have been to wait outside while he went in to bring it, but the don that he was, he managed to lure her in and the rest ensued.

Routing & Switching cuts across all, and will always be needed. From that, you can easily branch into other areas like Voice and/or Security.

Better still, go for the IP track (CCIP or so).

Princessmel: Thanks guys, I guess I'll just give in, it gets stronger everyday

where is your boyfriend (or the person you lost/gave it to) in all of this?

if you must do it, its best to stick with 1 partner you know?

will that be a problem?

definitely not at the same time. probably a few seconds apart.

Tej45: How is dis taking effect on the nations economy

if a 6yr old can do it, so can you !

or you want to ask how your being a millionaire affects the economy too?

AjanleKoko:

If it is engineering he wants to do, money should not be an issue. Both organizations don't sound like they pay well anyway.

agreed.

i would have encouraged him to switch to engineering 100% if marriage wasnt part of the equation.

as it is, i see it more of a Marriage/Family vs Career rather than the Money vs Career he puts it.

if getting married/starting a family is more important to him (right now), i think he should stay for a few more years.

oremisussan:

Current job - media

media is good. very good. staying wont be a bad idea.

The new job - core engineering (owned by one man like the current)

if we were talking multinationals, it would have been more tempting. what happens when he doesnt get contracts?

Difference in pay - about 25 percent

about 75k vs 100k to 150k vs 200k ?

difference aint much. you should be able to survive if you really want to switch now.

or save 25% of your current pay for 1 or 2 years before switching. should get you adjusted.

as per the wedding, i'm sure your families can chip in if you switch jobs.

lol ! intercollegiate hackfest ?

cant wait 4d retaliation.
