Safe online classroom for all Nigerian schools

In light of the global CORONAVIRUS pandemic, most countries have closed all schools forcing students to observe their government lockdowns, several countries, and schools have adopted some third-party video conferencing applications as a means of conveying lectures to their students. In recent days, however, it has come to light about concerns of privacy as in some cases while students were online in their chosen platform, voices of older non-students have been heard speaking in the conference calls. There are other incidents of a data breach in major calling applications too with students complaining that after conference calling with their classes they start receiving calls from strange and unknown telephone numbers, the reason is that hacking such third-party application is easy once the call or connection tunnel is open or activated.

Nigerian government support for students in the fight against COVID 19

Nigerian government support for students in the fight against COVID 19

www.9jaacademy.com

The federal government of Nigeria at the start of April 2020 announced that it is considering using mediums like radio and television programs to convey education to the millions of Nigerian students who have been forced to stay home as their contribution to the fight against the spread of coronavirus, this consideration is seen at some areas of the Nigerian society as very welcomed and in other areas, the reverse is the case.

Nigeria has come a long way from the early years of its independence from the English, in previous years, successive governments in retrospect did abandon the plight of all Nigerian students, I  remember a case in point where when the academic staff union of Nigerian universities when on strike demanding better pay and working conditions, that action lasted for an upward of five years which had and is still having adverse negative social and economic effects, let me explain.

The ASU strike in the '80s lasted approximately five years, but the thing there was also that Primary and Secondary school teachers were not part of ASU so their students kept climbing up the academic chain towards the universities which were then closed, so in essence students from secondary schools were graduating and leaving the secondary levels but had no university to go to.

After some years of waiting, youth and boredom starting getting the best of the vulnerable students leading a high number of them into various levels of crime, at some point in the early 90s the situation got so bad that robberies and other violent crimes were committed by secondary school students, it then became obvious that the governments at that time did not care about the issues in the educational sector.

The deepening polarization of the Nigerian educational system resulting from years of government neglect and lack of proper government support saw many Nigerian upper- and middle-class families send their children out of Nigeria for education. Although applauded by many as a viable solution to the dying Nigerian educational system at that time, most people now realize that sending your child to some other country for education could guarantee a future for that child but what would that future be? or how would that future look like? If the country is over-ran by criminals and terrorists, how would your child who has spent years in another country cope with the daily Nigerian crime statistics?          

Scientists and researchers the world over have pointed direct correlation between the lack of good education and the increase in crime rate, a fact is already known and to some degree accepted by the Nigerian government thus the effort to acknowledge the existence of problems in leaving students with learning.

A radio station as a medium to convey education to the millions of Nigerian students staying home to avoid coronavirus infection can be seen or taken as a very laudable step by the Nigerian government, however, radio program as a learning medium would be more successful in the 1970s, '80s and perhaps to some extent it might yield some favourable results in the 90`s but we are in the '20s and times have changed.

In education there is no one size fits all, this is a fact that cannot be disputed by academics even in Nigeria because even a classroom settings present a wide variety of learning patterns which the academic staffs try to work on, so how can a single radio program suffice for millions of students, there are lots of unignorable setbacks to this radio plan.

One major setback in this radio plan is disability ratio between Nigerian students, World health organization estimates that there are between one to four million students with some form of disability or the other, having radio as a means would completely leave out students with hearing disabilities and also the slow learners just to mention the least another point to consider is that if the Nigerian students were so capable to have unsupervised learning then why do we need teachers in the first place?

The television program idea, once again a laudable effort from the Nigerian government but again it is too little as the television learning program lacks inclusiveness what is guaranteed under supervised learning and again it also lacks consideration of others with disabilities.

Good education and not just any type of education is the fundamental right of all Nigerian students regardless of age, gender, religion, disabilities and the government should be held to task on providing productive education in Nigeria. In western countries, at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, schools were closed and students ordered to learn from home, this did not imply self-control learning from home but rather schools took to online platforms for communications between their class teachers and students.

In some countries schools form WhatsApp groups where there is the unavailability of a proper online platform, others use retail platforms like Udemy and google scholar. In Nigeria, the new trend is Naija-academy (www.9jaacademy.com ) and this is for several understandable reasons which I will break down in a short comparison between these retail online platforms.

One major reason for the overwhelming preference of 9jaacademy in Nigeria over Udemy and Google scholar is to high cost which creates in its self-limitations for Nigerian student as Udemy charges per person and it's considered by most Nigerian schools because it is a drop and pickup website or like a YouTube for courses and thereby no classes created there or even feeling of being at school, another thing that Nigerian schools consider is that Udemy is not flexible to enable the integration of Nigerian schools basic philosophy.    

 

Google classroom, on the other hand, does provide classrooms and some useful tools but then again too expensive as the payments are charged per person and the google online classroom is very rigid and not flexible enough for most Nigerian schools thus making it not particularly fitting for the Nigerian educational

structure.

Another thing is that neither Google nor Udemy has channels of negotiation with Nigerian schools in matters of late payments or inability to meet up, even payments apart, if used by Nigerian schools then they (the School) will have to also comply with rules laid down by these websites.

Leading Nigerian schools now use 9jaacademy for several reasons and not just because they are leading schools, for example, 9jaacademy now offers full one-year free premium membership for all Nigerian schools and school level. The platform provided by 9jaacademy gives schools the possibility of adding all students or all classes, grades, and levels. Why should the future of any Nigerian student be put into disarray in their learning and development process? 

      For Nigerian students, it does not matter if you don't have money, 9jaacademy is and will always remain free for all Nigerian students, all it takes is that your school is a registered member of 9jaacademy. In this time of global coronavirus pandemic and of course, any future event of similar or greater events 9jaacademy ensures that all Nigerian schools have their fully customizable web presence.

With 9jaacademy school sessions are in fully functional order, with live classrooms, video streaming classes, video lessons uploading, assignment setting, assignment collection and submission, global bookshops for affordable books for all school class types, these are just a tip of the iceberg 9jaacademy putting it shortly is a school away from school. The 9jaacademy bookshop provides books from publishers national and global covering every subject topic.   

9jaacademy prides itself in working with Nigerian schools to help schools improve their standards and quality of education, I think parents and academic staffs responsible for children MUST demand that their schools be registered in a managed platform like 9jaacademy the reason being that management of owned platform is costly and with high manageability issues for a simple school, IT staffs. Several main academic institutions of western nations can agree on the fact that the advantages of managed schooling platform far outweighs the disadvantages, this is because of most leading online school use managed platforms.

COVID 19 / CORONAVIRUS IN NIGERIAN SCHOOLS, STOP THE VIRUS NOT EDUCATION

   9jaacademy seen as the one true solution for Nigerian schools

Since the outbreak of COVID 19 global pandemic several countries have been put on lockdown, some for a stipulated period of time while others are told to be on self-quarantine indefinitely or at least until the global infection rates starts a downward trend. These national lockdowns includes all non-essential businesses like fashion stores, building materials stores, bars, public swing pools, cinemas and  schools, the origin of the Coronavirus is not particularly clear but one thing that is becoming increasingly clear is the damage that this pandemic if not handled swiftly and with great care, will unleash upon countries and economies.

Covid-19 is here and it does not really matter what protectionary method a country takes, the damage will be incurred one way or the other, sadly some people and families will be more affected that others, there are also  issues arising from total educational  disruption  and in this case some students are more affected than others.

Schools in majority of countries European union  have been shut and students told to stay home and self-isolate in a bid to stop or reduce the threat of person to person transmission of the coronavirus, however, the most European   schools and schooling systems are aware that leaving a student home with no learning on a daily basis would be even more devastating to the economy in the long run, to meet this challenge of maintaining the mental development process of each school age European child , schooling for the time being have been moved to online only, in essence, each student still attends school just not physically .

In Nigeria, some schools have also closed their door and ordered students to stay home until further notice, however, in most cases the students stay home and study at their own volition,  

With no proper guideline on what the student should lean and areas to cover within this lockdown period it seems the average Nigerian student is again left in the dark by their schools and their leaders. I recently had a call with a professor at the university of Abuja Nigeria, our discussion of course was centred around the school closure and what is expected of the students, when I suggested that the children will be missing their lectures and asked what facilities are put in place so that the time is not wasted for the students he told me that when the schools resume they will start off from where they stopped.

Well my  thought at that moment was “what if this social distancing approach takes a year will the student who was 19 years old when the school stops return back to school after a year and still be 19?” Well to be fair to the professor, online schooling facilities is not that common and is mainly the very rich schools that can afford it, even then more than 90% of the schools that have online learning facilities have their websites not really functioning in its best. Another reason is the cost of developing and maintain their own learning platform is considered by some schools as on the high side, what this means is that millions of Nigerian students if asked to remain home would essentially loose the time spent at home and therefore remain behind their counterparts in the international educational arena.

With the short term notice given in light of this coronavirus pandemic it would not be fair to totally blame Nigerian schools for not being able to provide the online learning possibilities for their students as most schools in Nigeria were just in the early stage of planning the implementation of online learning. 9jaacademy at www.9jaacademy.com provides to all Nigerian schools online learning platform for one(1) year free premium membership to help school reach their students and conduct proper school work.

9jaacademy provides schools with fully customisable school online platform for one year free, schools can create their classrooms, add staffs, add students, subjects, periodic testing, examination centres and even much more, with 9jaacademy premium membership Nigerian schools are granted unlimited student  listing which means teachers, instructors and lecturers can reach each and every one of their students at any time, in this time of the coronavirus pandemic, social-distancing is recommended as a means  of combating the spread of this pandemic.

Vienna: Europe’s CBD capital

Unlike most other European and world nations post the hiatus, production of  industrial scale  cannabis was legally permitted  this would later be ratified in 1995 for  CBD, fibers, and hemp seed oil, the Austrian legal system applies specific distinctions between  personal use and  the commercial distribution of drugs as far back as 1971, this legal provision implies that technically the consumption of  cannabis remains a non-punishable offense but however, actions like  possession, purchase, and distribution remains illegal.

With an estimated sale of over 300,000 seedlings per month., Austria has been in the leading position out-running other larger European nations in the sales volume of cannabis clone, cannabis clone sales in Austria is partly boosted by the illegal status in major European powers like Germany and the Switzerland of the sales of cannabis seedlings thus making Austria a very popular location for customers in need of high quality cannabis clones and cuttings.

The Austria cannabis regulation is a rather complex mosaic do´s and don´ts that require a good understanding both for consumers and businesses alike, for example, the regulation of industrial cannabis production and distribution was put directly under the  Austrian Ministry of health which allows the cultivation of cannabis for medical and scientific purposes  but still there are no government approved treatment for medical cannabis patients.

Another example of the complexity of the Austrian cannabis legislation can be seen in the case of CBD ( cannabinoid), in 2018 the famous Austrian café chain  Aida rolled out with sales of cakes containing CBD, the sales was immediately stopped  because although the sale of pure CBD  remains legal in Austria the sales of products containing  CBD is illegal thereby prompting Aida to give away all the baked cakes for free.

At this point in time, it is safe and not out of place to state that the Austrian cannabis law can be viewed as a flag that is ultimately directed by the flow of the political wind, for example, in 2017 right-leaning conservative party led by Mr. Sebastian Kurz proposed changes to the Austrian criminal justice system that would ultimately see the banning of the sale of hemp plants and hemp seeds, this attempt was taken very seriously by the  Austrian market leader in sales of hemp plants, Flowery Field, thereby prompting a migration of their operations to Italy.

Although the legality of cannabis as a whole in Austria is  somewhat subjected to the political winds of the time, the statistical facts and figures are on the upward, with an estimation of approximately  170,000 cannabis patients in 2028, it is also important to point out that this number represents 1.8% of the general Austrian population, the net worth of medical cannabis could be estimated to be within the range of  €720m to €800m by 2028.

www.cbdwien.at the online Cannabis provider in Vienna

The Austrian governments very own statistics indicates that 23% of Austrian have used cannabis on minimal one time and an estimation of 45% of Austrian between the ages of 15 to 25 still consume cannabis till date. Since summer of 2017, Vienna has seen the rise or spread of several outlets where one can purchase CBD or CBDA products, but it would by wise to be careful when buying medical marijuana, CBD Oil Concentrates, CBD Isolate, CBD Capsules, CBD Edibles, CBD Tinctures ,CBD Vape Oil, CBD Skin Products, CBD Hair Products ,CBD Pet Products, there have been several reports of people who have either been overcharged for their CBD requirements or have gotten the wrong prescriptions from non-professional sellers.

Most CBD sellers in Vienna would like to give buyers the impression that they grow the plants by themselves while they are actually just resellers  who add synthetic stuffs in their CBD to increase the volume and boast profit. After an extensive check for quality and originality in CBD products this study could only identify one distributor (www.cbdwien.at  known as the green queen CBD also )whose products are truly authentic and CBD levels are precisely accurate.

Education Pleasure or pain?

Depending from where you look at it.

Education one could say starts from the day a child is born and ends with life, this is actually true because learning to feed, walk, talk and improving of cognitive senses all takes place from the first second in a child’s birth. These initial learning curves are usually thought by parents, guardians, relatives or in some cases legal appointed guardians and in some cases these initial learning curves  comes in full circle between the ages of four to seven years of a child´s growing circle, at the completion of these initial learning which takes place in the comfort of the child’s home surrounded by loved ones.

Upon completion of the initial stage of learning the child then moves on to the next learning stage which is then not (in majority of cases) taught by learned professionals in the educational field, at this stage children are taught to assembly and reassembling of their individual cognition. Children at the second stage of learning are taught to identify things like numbers, plans, animals and so forth.

Most countries demand education to be compulsory for children between a stipulated age range, in fact education is theoretically compulsory all over the world for children but however, the age range at which it is compulsory has its own geolocational dependency which could be social, religious, gender or even culturally related depending on the region in question.

In most western countries governments invest great efforts to make schooling a pleasant by providing cheap affordable transport systems for students, security during school starting and ending hours, providing clean and quiet learning environment for the students, access to classes online and so forth, while the opposite is the case of most developing countries. The educational system in some of these developing countries is so stressful and bad that children living in western countries can not even begin to imagine.

I once had a presentation on education in the developing world at an high school in Berlin, when I started showing pictures and playing some short video clips on the activities that normal children in developing countries go through on a daily basis just to receive education, to my surprise, the children present in my presentation were overwhelmed with sorrow, tears and disbelief that in this day and age children still suffer to be educated.

As a case study let´s take Nigeria, with an upward of about   32.6 million new entry to primary schools each year Nigeria has over 65.9 million  students, I must point out that the total number of students or children within school age in Nigeria is more than the total population of  Greece, Czech Republic, Portugal, Hungary and Austria combined together.

Children within the school ages in Nigeria have to, on a daily basis contend with the fear of kidnapping, robbery, rape, molestation, abuse, even in some cases scolding by teachers, parents and those who they should grow to love and respect. I travelled to Lagos State Nigeria just to have a first hand experience on the challenges faced by Nigerian students.

In my quest for understanding, I undertook interviews of two students from each school levels, namely , Primary, Secondary, and University levels, the interview which I had with the students all point to concerns expressed by the students, for example, while speaking to one of the Primary students (10 years old) I notices that he was not really focused on my questions, I paused questioning then asked him, what is on your mind Emmanuel ? he replied, I  we have food home when I get home because I last ate yesterday noon but in the night there was no food and morning also.

After hearing these words, I decided to take a new questioning approach so that I could hear the information raw and not structured by my line of questioning. When I met the Primary school girl (10 years old) I began my questioning her with asking of her aspirations and dreams for her future, sure she began with my much-anticipated response of unadulterated positivity about the best jobs in life and wealth.

When I observed the brightness in her face and sensed a fairly good atmosphere of trust, then I asked, what is really in your mind? what do you worry about?  She had like some few minutes of pulse and then she answered , my mother has a restaurant so every day after school I go straight to her business and there I must wash the dishes and clean, it makes me very tired in the evening that I can not even learn when we get home, even sometimes I cannot even make my homework.

The high birth rate in Nigeria have also given rise to ramshackle schools popping up in each and every less opportune areas in Nigeria, but do not get deceived  the so called ramshackle schools are also not free, in earnest, A GREAT NUMBER OF Nigerian students attend sub-standard schools and still have to pay for attending such schools. According to several researches on the effect of stress on learning there is a general consensus that stress at the time of learning will not yield any good result and might lead to memory retrieval issues.

In 2016 an article published by Susanne Vogel & lars Schwabe clearly support the fact  that stress is a negative factor in learning  even pointing out the repercussion

“    While stress around the time of learning is thought to enhance memory formation, thus leading to robust memories, stress markedly impairs memory retrieval, bearing, for instance, the risk of underachieving at exams. ” A major way to reduce the stress level is the implementation of online schooling and classrooms.

Many schools in Nigeria claim to have online facilities but the truth is that most of their online facilities are dysfunctional or lack proper management or even bug ridden poorly coded platforms making the students online presence not a pleasant one.

 Good news, while planning to write this blog I did a search for online schooling or learning possibilities for Nigerian students, I did find some online learning platform but  in my opinion I found this(https://9jaacademy.com/) one to be the very best of them all, my reasons are as follows:

1)     It is (at least that is what it says ) absolutely free to all students.

2)     Schools can register in their entirety meaning that all classes, all subjects, all academic and non-academic staffs access, all students of the school.

3)     Several interactive rooms where students can interact with students from other schools thereby exchanging knowledge and experience.

4)     Several exams and test centres which registered schools can set exams for their students.

5)     Multiple school branches possible

6)     Direct link to global online library.

7)     Bookshops

8)     Access for parents or guardians to be able to partake in the students schooling activities.

9)     Fully customisable school platform that allows each school to design their school layouts and colours to match their requirements.

10)Schools will save the management cost of owing a web learning platform

11)School blogs submission and publishing

Even the best of all is that at  https://9jaacademy.com/  now schools can enrol for free and use the service, it will be a good thing for Nigerian schools to start looking at ways to reduce the daily stress faced by students by giving every student access to https://9jaacademy.com/ , the reality of the day in Nigeria is hard even for children, this issue for Nigerian students have gone beyond donations and organizations it is time for action.

                                               “Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it.”

The role of web technology in Nigerian business development

Nigeria, a country situated on the Gulf of Guinea with an estimate population of an upward of 190.9 million citizens as at 2017 making Nigeria the largest black country in the world, the country is vast with natural reserves with includes also a high number of mineral resources. The social life in Nigeria is as always very cordial and receptive to foreigners and neighbour alike.

The Nigerian business environment on the other hand is more of a quiver of untapped business advantages riddled in a series of infrastructural mismanagement, the infrastructural disadvantage in Nigeria creates a massive loop in Nigerian business growth statistics. Transportation in Nigeria is hectic for commuters, car owners and businesses alike.

The challenges faced by Nigerian during major festive seasons in Nigeria is becoming an ever growing put-off for most potential spenders because the time spent in getting to a desired market remains ever increasing , the issue of mobility faced by millions of Nigerians on a daily basis is not just based on the travel time but also the ever fluctuating cost of mobility thus for some people shopping is fast becoming an expensive luxury.

There is also the issue of a paralytic electrical supply with effect that cuts across the whole Nigerian business geosphere with businesses and even private individuals spending millions of dollars in alternate sources of electrical power generation, the most affected business area are businesses with perishable goods because they need electricity to preserve their goods.

One sector of business that has grown formidable in Nigeria is the mobile telecommunication industry, with a market platform of over 100 million users with each user having an average of two mobile device per user. One would normally expect that this would be a welcomed advantage to businesses but unfortunately that so far have not been the case in Nigeria till date.

The increasing usage of mobile networks by Nigerians of every age and demographic can be very instrumental in the alleviation of infractions resulting from the depreciation of the current infrastructure. Some businesses have started utilizing the benefit of this new found technological advantage, however, the utilization of the pros of these aspects of the Nigerian economy is somewhat restricted to buying and selling, in other words ecommerce businesses.

The ecommerce business sector in Nigeria though thriving is still faced with the limitations of business area coverage as there still exist the mindset that web businesses deal on just a specific product type, range and location. There are some with the opinion that some business sectors are not able to harness due partly to the lower educational requirements in such businesses or a meagre business net-worth, people with these opinions are not entirely wrong but however, there still exist a second school of thought with a considerable support.

Although the usage of mobile technologies over the past ten years have been in the increase, unfortunately, the positive beneficial aspect of web services (Pros) is still relatively known or even explored. For example, if a farmer plans to implement some web services for his/ her farm then the farmer´s main target audience becomes the international market, mainly due to the comfort of a more organized international marketplace.

The lack of interest on the part of Nigerian businesses with web presence to invest in the improvement of   supply and demand chain infrastructure, this unwillingness only goes to further exacerbate current issues faced by ecommerce web-based businesses in Nigeria. The current trends in Nigeria shows a 10% reduction in the number of self-employed individuals as of 2017 from the levels in 1991 according to index mundi.

The proper usage of web technologies in Nigeria would see the current downwards spiral of trust in self-employment in Nigeria, some may argue that it is the cost of procurement of these services that is a deterrent from use. 2019 is proven to be a good year for both small businesses and large alike with more companies now offering affordable web service. In  Nigeria virtually any and all web service can be gotten online, even business owners who are not vast in any web service can also procure web management services online which would greatly enhance their business outreach.

Introducing Intigradhost web service provider

When choosing to own a website for business, personal or even blog the task can be some times overwhelming and even in some cases rather complicated, in that case most businesses and even private individuals resort to website attention on the price being offered by various website companies or freelancers. On initial assessment the focus on price as a means of choosing the ideal website that meets your needs seems to be like a smart workaround to the choice of understanding if a particular website design or structure fits with the intended needs of the individual or organization.

There is the old school of thought that if you pay more for your website that means that the business or individual receives a high-quality website but actually if you have been made to believe such mindset then know this that it is further than the truth. A good quality website is one where the bridge of functional/ design understanding between the business or private website owner and the development team is cut to the narrowest possible distance, the narrative of high cost equals higher quality is being propagated by most website development companies to ensure more for less.

That sentiment is not shared by Intigradhost or any of its team members as service is put before profit and customer satisfaction is the  at www.intigradhost.com  , we do acknowledge the facts that most IT website development companies have the issues of over-staffing and a slow flow of project thus prompting the need to charge more for development of a single website but however, Intigradhost does not see the over charging of businesses or private individuals as the solution for such levels of extortion.

Point to consider when planning a website for your business or private purpose

Some people usually consider things like how known is the web development company or how many years of experience has the website developer, some people consider how known if the actual development company or developer within their circle of friends or associates, even some consider the previous work done by the development company or developer, even as stated above some businesses or private individuals consider the price that is being charges, for example if someone was to approach a well-known branded company for website development then $100 000 is justifiable for a five page website. In these cases, the company or private individual ends up paying for the name of the development company, well this means that quality really has nothing to do with it, rather if a business or private individual wants a website developed then it is wise to ask yourself things like:

1)      What do I need the website for on the short and long run?

Lets say your business has already an established clients base and you need the website just to show your products to prospective clients then even a  five to ten page responsive website will definitely suffice depending on the amount of information that is relevant the key is relating the information that needs to be set out into the world wide web. On the other hand, if a business or individual intends to sell physical or virtual goods online then certain other factors are to be put into consideration like users’ access, secure checkouts, payment gateways and trusted security certificates.  It is  worth to Considering also that  the potential traffic flow of your intended website before deciding on the technology to be used in your website development. Most website developers are quick to offer the so called puzzle website codes like WordPress, joomla or cake PHP as per their own convenience but not actually yours.

2)      How many milestones do I need from my website development company or developer?
If your website is one with no CMS control in it then you can request a milestone for every page, the reason is that website developers are rather sometimes lazy individuals who lack or are lacking the needed project management discipline because they want to rush it all towards the end delivery date thereby leading to several small but significant errors or misfunctions, bear in mind that most website development companies might try to reduce the request for full milestones as they also cant control the activities of their programmers or are afraid of loosing them by imposing strict discipline on their programmers.

3)      Do you see the possibility of your website content changing on regular basis?
If a business or private individual wants a website to display constantly evolving products then it will be wise to consider a partial text base CMS that is if your products price always remains constant but if your products prices, brands and models are in a constantly changing then perhaps you might want to consider aa full CMS controlled website.
