Ok. Nairaland - Occupy till I come.

Design competions should also be encouraged using CADD

I for write, but the money no big. Had it been its upto like, #5M atleast that would have been enough to motivate me to do something. Let me just leave this for the junior ones since na small change.

how are we going to submit the essay?



p.s im interested in this essay, so a note of warning for my fellow competitors, go for the second prize and consolation prizes respectively, because the first position is already taken by me, and no nigerian stands a chance!

Dear NCC, Nigerians need reduced call tariff, not cash prices.

What's the point winning 500k when I know "MTN and the Gang" is waiting with open mouth to gulp it in no time with their expensive call rates?

.

I will comment later

i could write....

seen..next!

ok





















land 4 sale

nice one

Useless.


All we are saying givi us cheap data.

This is Welcome development and so compelling to write but..., I think I should probably give it a shot if not the criteria or I would undertake to write for someone else

NONSENSE! Wht we want is cheap call n data services. And not a silly essay competition.

Am in!!!! 500gees

Jeez, isn't the criteria too much?
What kind of rubbish is this?
2500 words?!
What can't they just give out the cash prizes?
The prize is not even much
Why must they stress thousands of students to writing essays only to select a few winners?
The topic of the essay is even boring
Even sign undertaking on top matter
Mcheeeeeeew
Why must....

I'm a fast learner sha
