Nigeria say something!

mansakhalifa:
Let me contribute my little quota towards the enlightenment of a 16 year-old. I mean, the youths are the future and as an old man I feel it is my duty to lead them aright.

Indeed, 80 years of existence is no joke.

1. Nigeria participated in both WW I and WW II as part of the British empire. In fact, during WW I, Nigerian troops saw action as part of the British contingent in places like Togoland and the Kameruns which were then German colonial possessions.

Young man, I will advise you to go and read about the "Kamerun Campaigns" of 1914-1916(World War I). Nigerians fought there too.



2. To your last point. There is no "brotherhood" between a Sunni and a Shia. There can be no "brotherhood" between the Nigerian political elites and the Islamic Republic of Iran. There, you got it all wrong.

Many of Nigeria's political leaders are mainly Sunni muslims and that means that to a great extent, they are less likely to be in any way sympathetic towards the plight of the Islamic Republic of Iran which is a Shi'a majority country.

There is no love lost between the Sunnis and their Shi'a counterparts. There is a political and ideological schism between the Sunnis and the Shiites which goes way back to the 7th century.


In fact, the only real Iranian sympathizers that you are going to find within Nigerian territory are the IMN and some other Shi'ite Muslim groups. Total Shi'a population in Nigeria is not up to 9 million from what I gather. Plus, a non-State actor can only do as much.

Not totally underestimating or discountenancing them or their threat capabilities here. In the event of a war between Iran and the US, the best the Shiites here in Nigeria can do is mount solidarity protests, possibly attempt a few acts of subversion here and there while a few of them could decide to sign up to go fight on Iran's side in the Middle East just to show "solidarity".

3. There will be no "war". Trust me on that. Just expect more noise. That's all. And even if there will be a war. Just get a chilled drink and watch from the sidelines. Fear absolutely nothing.

*Clears throat* Now, where is my bloody snuffbox.

internationalman:
Yeah war is no joke but a war between Nigeria and USA would be a joke of the century

AeroplaneApple:
I seriously don't understand
why a certain group of individuals in a 3rd world continent are fretting over a war that is non of their business..

Is it that you want to enroll into the Iranian Revolutionary Guard or United States Navy?

post=85601505:
This sh#t is getting seriously serious .

SAY NO TO TERRORISTS.
SAY NO TO TERRORISM.

Let's make love, not war!

Britain enlisted the help of its colonies in fighting the Burma War in 1945, and of the 90000 soldiers that it recruited from across different countries, over half were Nigerian.

while some actually believe it's the West thing, whtswh the concern of Africa. Not knowing Africa might be turned into their battle field . ...

omlueh:
Definitely now, because he knows that America alone is Capable on is own to handle the Situation at hand, Iran have hit the American Base in Iraq now, when America Akara will start raining on Tehran most Arabs will start shouting and burning both American and Israeli Flags, so Israel is ever ready and on standby for any external aggression that will ever comes their way from Tehran or any Arab Terrorist Country or Groups be it as it may be.

I had 296 when I wrote jamb last year, and I'm currently a student of unilag, and I'll share with you the strategy I used last year.
Firstly last year was the 2nd time I wrote jamb and after I scored 232 in the frost year, people I met made me believe the only difference between me and those that score 300+, is the level of hard work, dedication and strategy


So the second time I studied for jamb, I started studying before the sales of registration forms were announced, I started reading very early, it gave me about 4 months(thanks to ASUU strike tho).

At first I started reading organic chemistry, because that was my most challenging topic of all 4 subjects, but then I realized I had made a mistake when I saw the actual jamb syllabus.

A popular misconception many students have is that the syllabus contains all the topics in the text book. That is absolutely wrong

So the first thing I want to tell you is to study what is in the syllabus only.

The second thing I did was to get four 60 leave exercise books. Each notebook for the different 4 subjects I offered.


Afterwards I started from the scratch in all subjects regardless of whether I know it or not, I designated each day for one specific subject, and studied at any free time I had.


Whenever I finish studying a topic I would form a note, with what I knew and remembered, without using the textbook.
Note: I only wrote down what I considered important and a potential question I jamb.

Afterwards I would attempt the questions in the textbook without checking for the solutions at the back.

I'd do this for all topics in accordance with how it's arranged in the syllabus.

Note: this is not the time to solve past questions, now is the time to understand all your topics from the scratch. You should only use past questions to test your self on certain topics you just covered, if you do it this way, by the time you're done with the syllabus, you'll be able to score 80% in each subject.

I would have had 300+, but I overlooked English and biology, the only real effort I put in studying for eng exam was reading the novel I was given(sweet sixteen), and biology? Well I didn't have a good textbook to study for biology.


SOME ADVISES I HAVE FOR YOU AND OTHER JAMBITES ARE:
1.DON'T BE IN A HASTE, READ TO UNDERSTAND, THERE'S NO POINT IN STUDYING FOR JAMB WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC

2. USE JAMB'S SYLLABUS, DON'T READ WHAT THEY DIDN'T ASK YOU TO READ YOU'LL ONLY WASTE YOUR TIME.

3. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, 5IMES WILL COME WHEN YOU WILL DOUBT YOURSELF, BUT IF YOU DID EVERYTHING I SAID, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PATH.

4. DO NOT OVERLOOK ANY SUBJECT/TOPIC BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW IT OR IT'S TOO EASY. I WOULD HAVE SCORED OVER 300 INSTEAD OF 296 IF I HADN'T OVERLOOKED ENG & BIO. I GAINED REDEMPTION IN MY POST UTME THO, I READ FOR ENGLISH THIS TIME AROUND AND I HAD 27 OUT OF 30 QUESTIONS IN UNILAG'S POST UTME.

5. READ THE NOVEL GIVEN TO YOU BY JAMB, ATLEAST TWICE, THE FIRST TIME IS WHEN YOU FIRST GET IT, THEN THE SECOND OR LAST TIME SHOULD BE ATMOST 7 DAYS TO YOUR EXAM TO KEEP THE STORY FRESH I MIND.

6. QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA AND GAMES , IT'S A TIME KILLER, IF YOU CAN'T RESIST, ALLOCATED AT MOST ONE HOUR SPREAD ACROSS 24hrs IN A DAY FOR IT.

7. READ DAY AND NIGHT, THE BRAIN IS CAPABLE OF UNDERSTANDING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT, CLAIMING TO BE A DAY OR NIGHT READER IS JUST A LAZY EXCUSE.

8. SLEEP AT LEAST 5 HOURS A DAY, YOUR SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BRAIN HEALTH. ESPECIALLY THE DAY OF YOUR EXAM

9. USE THESE TEXTBOOKS - JAMB'S USE OF ENGLISH INVINCIBLE TEACHER AND A-Z IN JAMB'S USE OF ENGLISH, TO STUDY FOR YOUR ENGLISH, THEY WILL GUARANTEE YOU 80+ POINTS IN JAMB, THAT'S WHAT I USED TO STUDY FOR MY POST UTME.

10. PRAY TO GOD EVERY DAY AND ASK FOR DIVINE WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING AND MENTAL RETENTION SO THAT TO CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY ON THE EXAM DAY.

teebabs48:
Lol.
You are a good marketer. I tell you!

MrCuteking:


No insult kid. I won't mention you next time. If you are rude with your elderly ones at home it will be nice to avoid it on social media because you don't know who is on the other end of the phone, neither do you know if he's dangerous.

MrCuteking:


They are wise enough that's why playing for England is better. I can't imagine paying money to represent my own country. Pinic and is cohort are terrible.
Even though there is sense in what you said about him not having consistent call up it is better to represent another country when your country wants bribe before you can represent them.

respect80:
Until they help England win the world cup then we will take them seriously.

Roysnickz:
I'll like to appreciate you for quest and determination for making something food out of yourself. Many Nigerian youth at tour level are not that blessed to think in that direction. Sure, at your level you lack the knowledge and exposure to make inform decisions that help you achieve your aim, which is why you are here. I want to let you know that Nigerians are among the most intelligent and gifted people on Earth, however, this lack of adequate knowledge and exposure makes the average Nigerian youth to to what he is today, one of the most useless. Avoid that by all means. I most admit that you seek advice in the wrong forum. These same I'll informed youth are going to deceive you into believing that Nigerian university system is completely useless, that education in Nigeria is a big scam, that you will not know anything other than long mathematics and theories should you choose to study your Robotic Engineering in Nigeria, that syllables use by Nigerian universities are outdated and so on. My little brother, don't let them deceive you. They/ we were deceived like that, which explains why they failed and could not get anything from their education. I still emphasis, don't let them mislead you. Back to you question, I believe it's this same lack of knowledge and exposure that makes you chose Robotic over MECHATRONICS. would have like to talk more about the two courses in the Nigerian context and economy but I have already spoken at length

You dont sound like a 16 year old.

And why the double emphasis?

Are you actually in your 50s?

KolaSteven:
It depends on what you really want. Mechatronics is an hybrid of Electrical, Mechanical and Computer Engineering.
Computer engineering is more narrow. It focus on Computer Software, hardware, networking and embedded systems.

If you are indecisive about what to do, go for Computer Engineering, you will meet those in almost every facet of the tech industry. Or better still, go for Computer Science. I'm a CS student myself.
But if you are 100% certain that all you want to do is building robots, then go for mechatronics.

KolaSteven:
Go for Mechatronics. It is a combination of electrical and mechanical engineering. It is also a combination of Robotics, Telecommunications, embedded systems and product engineering.

DeHumbleTboy:
Dear nairalanders please I need your help urgently. I bought my phone 7 months ago now the camera is bad.
When ever I took pic and post on Facebook the picture will look some how blurry.

How can I fix it?
