Joe Cannella, former senior account manager: "Basically, you end up spending the majority of your life eating Google food, with Google coworkers, wearing Google gear, talking in Google acronyms, sending Google emails on Google phones, and you eventually start to lose sight of what it's like to be independent of the big G, and everycorner of your life is set up to reinforce the idea that you would be absolutely insane to want to be anywhere else." "To which the majority of folks will say 'boo-hoo, poor spoiled Googler'. But that's sort of the point. You are given everything you could ever want, but it costs you the only things that actually matter in the end." It's hard to be honest with your colleagues.               Vlad Patryshev, former software engineer: "It is really hard to discuss any issue unless it is your friend you are talking to ...

The Executive Secretary, Nigeria Universities Commission, NUC, Prof Adamu Abubakar Rasheed, has disclosed that the commission will give approval for the establishment of 150 additional private universities in the next three years. According to him, those calling that establishment of universities should stop are ignorant as the current 152 universities are not enough for a population of over 150 million people. He explained that Argentina’s population of about 44 million has 1705 universities while several other developing counties with lesser population than Nigeria has over 300 universities. "Presently, 243 applications are being processed for private universities, so in the next two to three years, we will have about 150 private universities,” he said, and we believe that will help reduce the high competition in our tertiary institutions.
