the way the hausa, yoruba and igbos think they are the owners of nigeria make me sick and the same people are the architec of bad governance, my personal opinion

look th first thing they do over here in the uk is to first established if u have learning difficulties if you do they provide an alternative way of doing the same course.
second thing is that they also try to know what kind of learner you are whether you are a visual learner or what ever the reason for this is just so they know what method they can apply in teaching you,
but in nigeria we just resume and they start dictating to you not realising that many of us cant hear or even if they decide to write they also fail to realise that a nu,mber of us can understand untill they renforce the teaching and before the end of a semester they arrange what they call tutorials  where u have to meetr one to one with your tutor/teacher.
but if it were to be in nigeria teachers will take an advantage of the one to one system and talk her into some thing else.
speaking of dressing come to the uk and they even dree worse but not enough reason for arrassement.
we must change our ways. the system is rotten and changes need to be made in the way we are being taught in our schools.

instead of reflecting on the wrongs of my parents i will rather be thankful to them for helping me realise my self, even to some things i thoguht they were wrong about turn out to be the beauty i possess. thank you lord jesus for my parents even as you give me the strenght to appreciate them day in day out.

wetin una dey talk why blame the student, the truth of the matter is that the government has failed this genertion, check the persentage of people that passed this exams if they are not from private schools where they are been taught properly and in the private schools they make sure their student are prepared by arranging mock exams for them, do these things happen in the government schools, its a shame becos firstly the so called government schools is not free they are being paid for in some state what is suppose to be free for the student and yet they cant use the money raised to even open a nice library for them.
look around these schools today and tell me which one of those have library, when i was in university of benin the lecturer will come to class and dictate maths for us, where dat kind thing for they happen, i read diploma in applied microbilogy from the university of benin, where i never saw a microscope. so pls pls pls lets not blame it on the student but instead blame it on the educational system that is not properly placed, pheeeew rubbish things. shame on nigeria government.
i never knew i was these brilliant until i got to the uk where i see things in practice and i have the opportunity to put theories to practice, that is how you learn.

call me stupid, i really dont care for some reasons i really dont like this ribadu of a guy, i have hear him speak a number of time and i dont really like the feel of him. no disrespect, i hope he he wins the primaries then lost the main election. (amen). power is changing hand history must be made in nigeria becos God did not create nigeria for just the igbos, yoruba and hausa people, what happens to othe rtribe are they not nigerians? Bleep wazobia and bless nigeria a country of all tribe there in.

who is this drama queen making a fuss out of nothing

na so e go dey be, if these small boys wey think say na dem get naija nor change, dem go begin they make u turn just wait and see, dem go fear fear na. na small pikin dem go use dem make yeye as dem use our elderly pensioners.

why cant people stop being tribalistics, instead of insulting yourselves why dont you stay of the thread. does nigeria belongs to the igbos or youruba, fools fighting over nothing.

[b]There is fire on the mountain and no one seems to be running, the treatment of the civil and public servant its unfair and bitter, i weep some times when i think of them. maybe i am wrong on this but can some one please tell me which country will survive without the public sector if your answer is yes then please tell me who then will run our schools et al. and if your answer is no please be fair in your judgement do you think they are getting enough salary wise considering the fact that they have to pay for their children school fees and medication, transportation and others. before i decided to send this thread on naira land i had a chat with a civil servant working with the ministry of education who say her salary was a mere 28,000 naira a month before tax compare to the 5million naira our senator takes home.
and i also no some politicians who were not voted into office who receives packages worth more than 500,000 monthly becos he is a political leader in one locality. my people should we continue to pay deaf ears and i dont care attitude to these things and allow corruption and ill treatment of our parents and friends advive.
please share your opinion on this matter as you may not know who is reading it might go along way to advicing the right people.[/b]

all i can say is God forbids, religion forbids and tradition forbids. animalistic act is that the only thing we'ved learned from the western world. sodom and gomorahs

@ NKJAY God bless you for your info, my mind is at rest having people like you around and i will definitely come home do practice and there is no holding back. just waiting to put on or two things together, please join me to thank aisha she is indeed a material and nigeria will succeed with people like her around. i wish you success in all your aspirations. we will definitely join hands together some days and move our great country forward.

@whatawhat, thanks for your kind words of encouragement. God bless

@whiterose how was i to know there was no social worker in nigeria, i never knew there was until i spoke with some of them and i have also communicated with some qualified social worker who is proud to be and the fact that you and your 12 years are not aware of the fact that social workers are not in nigeria only mean that you have to do your findings and correct your 12 years old sister's concept of no social workers in nigeria.
and if you say there is no social worker in nigeria then i am asking you now, should there not be a social worker in nigeria. we've got to think before we think

brother God is your strenght, and i pray God gives you a job that will bring joy and happiness in time to come just so you dont have to lie to secure one. best thing to do is look for a place to volunteer and do atleast 3-4 month that will look good on your cv. the issue of experience is not only in nigeria i thought so before i left home, it is alover the world. once Again the truth will set you free and even open more doors for you. cheers

aisha exactly what i am doing, i do have some experience though as it is parts of the criteria to study social works here in the uk, but i am already working as a qualified social worker and i get paid alot for my service as a graduate i earn about 500,000 naira but money is not everything and i am just not happy doing this here dont mind receiving peanuts to work in a country that is mine if you know what i mean. i am so glad i have your e-mail andplease with ur permission i will call you from time to to for advice, help and guidance. and when i finally come home then we can talk and share ideas.
but i am starting to think that social work practice in nigeria is quite different from that of the uk. i think it is highly influenced by culture. thanks aisha. i hve learnt alot from you and others, if u dont mind what uni did u get your degree from. i got mine from university of brighton, uk.

police says to the lawyer OGA NA YOUR OWN YOU DEY TALK SO ABI NA ENGLISH WE WANT CHOP, COMOT FOR ROAD MAKE WE SEE BETTER PERSON. this is just a single story there are also a beautiful one which i will share as we proceed. whats your naija story.my story is rather a bitter one, some gangs of cultist came into my house with guns and battle axe e.t.c for reasons i dont know and destroy our properties cars and so on and so forths. we then reported to the police and they requested for money to buy fuel to enable them drive down to make arrest. ofcourse they arrested one of the guys but because they were rich they released him almost immediately only for them to come back and arrest my dad and my elder brother the next day accusing them for what they no nothing about. and they my mum went for a lawyer to bail my family out of the police cell. guess what the [b][/b]

AIsha i have sent you an e-mail i must confess the lessons i have gotten from this thread i could never have gotten it from any university or colleges all that have been said is true, the reason i choose to be a social worker is becos i believe some days you and i will be able to influence policies that cateres for what we know as pies (physical intellectual emotional social needs of our children. here in the uk there is act known as every child matters and it is upon that every benefit given to a child is drawn from. reason is that the government understand that the salaries or earnings that parents gets may not be enough to cater for children and if they struggles and becomes depress it might put the children at risk and becos of that they introduce the provision of sure start, play park, health visitors to visit families with children just to make sure they are ok and even the parents gets vouchers for vegetables and milk as well as child benefit all from the every child matters act.

my sister aisha i sat down one day and i decided i dont want to read law any more that i want to read a course that puts me in a position of care, the reason is that i have seen how mothers and children suffer in nigeria and maybe if i do social work i might be able to help in my own little way either by working as a social worker in nigeria or work with people like you and try to fight the inequality we suffer today in nigeria.

aisha my sister i know this is not an easy task and if it was easy i would not even think of it, how do you make sense of a mother who earns 23,000 naira monthly and yet has children in the uni to take care of not only that he is got to pay is rents even though she is a graduate she cant even get well enough salary to look after their children and pay her rents let alone transportation. please if any one is reading this tell me why we will not have a generation of thieves and criminals. and yet you have people who have thesame numbers of head receiveing hundreds of millions where is the equality. so i think that the whole system is not fair.
this is where we social workers come in policy making et al.
we can not get those who read agricultural science, political science, banking and finance to sit down in one place called national assemblies and dictate what and what will not happen to our children. becos they dont even have a clue.
here in the uk every ministry have a child unit be it police, army, any thing you can think of. so i think we should be able to resisit some things that are happening and challenge them. enough is enough we must be able to represent our children in every level. people may start thinking that i have no idea what naija is like, i do know as i

@tunny tox, guy thanks for your advice, i think i sabi naija in a way you do o my broda becos no body sabi finish we all only know a little and as for the lobby thingies no body carry the technics come for heaven if i nor know how to lobby i go ask you if i nor ask you then i go do research but i think i sabi lobi, and i already know where to start from. and i pray for God's guidance becos without him nothing is possible.

i must confess i alot of people here has inspired me greatly i feel like i am just wasting away in a country that is not mine and will never be mine. onye babe the first 2 lines of ur advice was so inspiring and trust me i will never forget that.
i think the fact that it does not exist means that some body has to take the lead for others to follow and i have a strong desire that i can make it happen. we can make it happen. yes we can. ideas please on how to set up an ngo in nigeria. i love you all and i believe that together we can change the way things are run in that great country.

@ omye babe that is not a fair statement that i seems to be interested in the money. may i ask you if you work for free in the current job u are in and if the answer is yes then how do u survive and pay your bills.

thanks for those information, its quite a shame that there are no social workers in nigeria, no wonder we children are wasting away in the street and our. thank you very much for your info dis guy. more info please

10 billion dollars, so we have that kind of money and then childrens future are not being secured, na god go punnish all those bad bad people, your end is near

wahala dey, its a shame that even those that are law makers are now making it seems that they have immunity from this law, one day monkey go go market e nor go return,
