Peeps u roll with on NL: Any progressive and/or fair-minded person on NL can roll with me.

Who will u like to date given the opportunity:

Since I don't know NL peeps personally, I'll base my views on sight and sound:
* earTHMama/DeepZone (anytime I see the "earth" in her name, I wonder if her defense is as round as the earth
and "deep" just makes me imagine stupid stuff; I love her brazenness)
* KarmaMod (I've heard so much about her attack and defense; uses her brashness to cover a soft gentle core)
* Tgirl4real (very pretty face, excellent personality and lovely skin tone)
* Osisi (her interest in certain parts of the male anatomy always makes me wonder; I've heard that her defense is solid smiley - but she's married)
* topup (I just think she's a sweet girl and she has a gentle way of passing across her points)
* michelin89 (though could be almost militant in defending her views, her intellectual prowess will be a delight to savor!)

Most striking personalities on NL:

earTHMama/DeepZone, Osisi, Afam, Tornadoz, Davidylan, 4 Play, KarmaMod, michelin89, Ibime, Jarus, toshmann, debosky,
mukina2, topup, Tgirl4real, Negro_Ntns, sleek_p, ~Sauron~/Hannibal, Becomrrich/Nigeria@1, Kobojunkie, and a few others


Your view about NL: The No.1 place on the internet for Nigerians anywhere! I really like the posts on culture, family and
politics.


Describe yourself in a simple term: cool, curious, reasonable and cheerful

Most Striking thing about yourself: I love peace and quiet.

How do u spend a normal day:

Weekday: Wake up, plan, work (involves a wide variety of things), eat, watch some TV, eat, sleep
Weekend: Wake up, plan, make phone calls, eat, entertain friends/visit friends, eat out,
see a movie on the big screen, go out with a friend and relax


Greatest achievement thus far:

1. Being able to read and write (this I think is my greatest achievement)
2. Getting a PhD in Decision Science and Operations Research (this is what most people around me think)


Greatest challenge in life: Trying to understand why humans act against their interest sometimes.

Future ambition: To be happy on earth

General life philosophy:Do not do unto others what you don’t want done to you


Words for the founder of Nairaland: Great site, keep the dream alive!


Extras
Most embarrassing moment:

Losing a game of blitz (high-speed chess) to an underdog in the presence of all my otimkpus (supporters),
including my then 'spanking new' babe. I redeemed my image on games 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Re: Upclose and Personal with Nairalanders by Ibime(m): 12:15pm On Feb 09, 2009
Richy, you don kala o!  grin. Early thirties no be yam.  grin

So you studied Operational Research? That was one of me favourite subjects at undergrad but I never chased it further cos I was hooked on PDE's, otherwise that was my second favourite subject of interest. Game theory, Analytical decision making, Simplex Algorithm, methods of optimisation and all that. I actually met John Nash when he came to London to give a seminar. As my lecturer said, his mind is not so beautiful anymore. He was giving a talk on Game Theory and he suddenly switched and started solving some extra-terrestrial mathematics that was completely off-topic.

My friend sharraaaaaaap dia! I only did my interview on the premise that you would do yours. Infact, I specifically asked TGirl to do an interview with you as I had to pay my respect to my elders grin. She promised that she would do your interview immediately after mine. So hurry up and stop waiting for elder council, when you are the Elder-in-chief.  grin

LOL at space mathematics! Never met John Nash, I wish I could though. As part of the literature review of the game-theoretic section of my work, I referenced his famous paper on "Non-Cooperative Game". PDEs are very interesting too, especially in your area of mathematical finance. When I think of PDEs and finance  (PDEs are heavily used in engineering also), my mind goes straight to Wiener processes.

O-boy, I keep telling you I never studied Mathematical finance. My course was "Applied Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing". Infact, most of it was mathematical physics (Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Elements and all that.) I only chose to do my thesis in Option-pricing cos I have an interest in financial markets, outside of my scope of study. You come dey carry mouth talk say I no be Mathematician. Take time o! Is Mathematics only Pure Mathematics?

I think thats what made John's mind beautiful in the first place, the extra terrestialness (!grin) of his mathematics. tongue

Nice interviews and more grease, Love Ibime's,A-40 and Debosky's most.

But really what parametres and indices dictate what question the interviewer asks the respondents.I ask this as the questions are not consistent for each interviewee;some questions asked Seun,were not asked Doyin and so on.Just curious and will like to know.

Also will like you to interview Inspired(Auto section),Tayo D(Foreign politics),Busy Body(every section(lol) and sisikill or is it jinx now, and Bamsyle(Music section).

All in all great work in here and keep it up.
