I somehow do not see that happening as I am sure that could be better spent on new presidential jets.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-68214071743999240722010-09-22T05:55:15.438+01:002010-09-22T05:55:15.438+01:00&quot;We have serious educational problems in Nigeria, but using education (or more precisely a lack thereof) in the North to epitomize the state of Nigerian education is stark bunkers.&quot;<br /><br />WOW! way to continue the &quot;us vs. them&quot; mentality that most Nigerians have against the North. Whether you like it or not, they are citizens of the republic so go take that high handed, snobbish attitude of yours somewhere else.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-29792182258240318732010-09-21T06:10:36.512+01:002010-09-21T06:10:36.512+01:00We have serious educational problems in Nigeria, but using education (or more precisely a lack thereof) in the North to epitomize the state of Nigerian education is stark bunkers.Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-6165023887792096972010-09-19T12:12:08.111+01:002010-09-19T12:12:08.111+01:00Education standards falling, is nothing surprising.<br /><br /><a href="http://henryik2009.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/nigeria-federalismresource-control-and-credentialism/" rel="nofollow"> Click here </a><br /><br />Paragraph 3 (from the above link), describes this phenomenon well, and the context in which it thrives in today&#39;s Nigeria.<br /><br /><br />On the topic of millennium development goals (MDG). Nigeria currently has no chance of meeting the MDGs. They only signed up so as not to be the &quot;odd man out&quot;. They were merely going through the motions, as usual they aren&#39;t committed to these goals, just time wasting...<br /><br />Target 7C:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.naijablog.co.uk/2010/09/on-ongoing-cholera-epidemic.html" rel="nofollow"> Click here </a><br /><br />Here is the full listing of the MDGs<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Millenium_Development_Goals#Goal_6:_Combat_HIV.2FAIDS.2C_malaria.2C_and_other_diseases" rel="nofollow"> Click here </a><br /><br />Ghana (Africa&#39;s pace setter) is well on it&#39;s way to attaining these goals.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/global-filipino/world/09/15/10/vietnam-ghana-lead-millennium-goals-think-tank" rel="nofollow"> Click here </a><br /><br />We can compare that to how Nigeria is performing in just one aspect of the MDGs.<br /><br /><a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/201009141173.html" rel="nofollow"> Click here </a><br /><br /><br />If clean water and minimal standard of sanitation can&#39;t be delivered, what hope for education, or even meeting the rest of the MDGs?

Probably just marginally better? Now that would make snotty nosed &#39;elita -nigeria&#39; reeeeaaaally mad! All that money down the drain. Tut,tut.Anonymous[email protected]
