Is Bsc better than HND?  Today I was bored so I decided to past time on Facebook, checking people’s statuses and updates. In my notifications, I got a notification about something on Rant HQ (I can’t exactly remember what the notification was all about but I clicked it and it took me to Rant HQ. While scrolling through the posts on the group, a particular post caught my attention and I decided to take a chill pill and read up. The post was from a guy lamenting the stigmatization that comes with being a HND holder and how Bsc. Holders are considered to be far better than HND holders.  In the post, he pointed out that HND holders while in school were professionals who were taught the practical’s unlike their university counterparts whose curriculums are filled with inapplicable theories. He said and I quote “I bet, most University graduates cannot stand their polytechnics counterparts when it comes to practical in the field of study…never think that you are better than HND hol

A NATIONAL INSULT.

Hanan Buhari was received at Tafawa Balewa Airport, Bauchi by Top Govt Officials. In one of my previous posts, I shared my candid opinion that the Nigerian Presidency has turned to a family business. I have received several comments after the post, castigating me that calling the Nigerian presidency a family business is - to say the least- uncalled for. I had apologized but it was an unapologetic apology, my view and stand about the subject still remain the same.  Like a prophet, barely a week after my post, one of the president's family member did an unforgettable thing!  Hanan Muhammadu Buhari just graduated with a first class in photography from Ravensbourne University, London and she is writing her project on Northern Nigerian culture.Hence, the need for her to travel to three selected Northern states viz Katstina (Her father's state), Bauchi and Kano and guess what, this trip was embarked on on the presidential private jet! Probably the presidential jet was given

I have been in US a week before I came to pick you.” “You came to kidnap me!” I retorted “Call it what you want” she said nonchalantly. “So how did you make me sleep and how were you able to smuggle me out of US with all those security at the airport?” “I gave you a sleeping pill that made you sleep for twenty four hours and lifted you in my arms- you weigh so much now- anyways, I took a cab to the airport and showed all my documents and told everyone who asked that you are on medication and not to be weaken and I showed them hospital papers to convince them- of course the papers were fake but they believed them!   It would have been tougher but I made settlement here and there and I was cleared through the customs. There is corruption even in the so called America” mum said scornfully. “So the rest of the story is simple” she said as she d

Nelson. .....he asked casually, almost like a friend who just wanted to know if I was hearing from my dad. Yesterday. “About two months ago” I replied. “Are you sure of this, your neighbours claimed that they saw him yesterday?” “Yyess” I said with shaky voice,. What if our nosy neighbours had truly seen dad and they had been interrogated by the police, how will I change my answer later? “Who…” The door bust open and the proprietor barged in, he was closely followed by the HM who was profusely apologizing for letting the policemen in into the school. “Gentlemen of the police” the proprietor began “I dislike what you are doing right now because it is a bad publicity for my school and it is violation of this girl’s fundamental human right. Now the show is over, you may leave” he said and held the door open but none of the policemen moved a muscle. I felt very happy for this heaven sent interruption and I began to relax. I knew that as long as the proprietor was th
