Business Intelligence



Unfortunately, Nigeria is so stuck in the 17th century. Such a course cannot be found in Nigeria. We are still stuck with courses like CRK, IRK.
Lol. Even in the western world B.I is taught in advanced post grad degrees. Its relatively new. And you can still get in the loop. You could do an online course at a relatively small price or take a post grad degree.
Check out coursera.org . They av courses or Business intelligence

Igbo literature, Yoruba language, and one other African language.

Linguistics in our native languages is dead, because we're busy adoring English like slaves. Someone who love his people should have their children study these things, otherwise, in future our descendants would become foreigners right here in Africa.

I studied computer science in my undergraduate . Currently I works with one of the big banks in Canada as a Java developer.

Computer science rocks in this digital world!

If I had the opportunity to go back to school, I would study medicine and surgery.
I left medical school after years due to a scholarship to study abroad. Till date I have this guilt that I left my passion for what's available. It hurts but I've come to accept things the way they are.
Don't feel bad!

Well you are wrong.

Computer science is about computation not computers. The field is inappropriately named just like 'political science'.
The computer is an efficient tool (actually, the most efficient tool in most cases) for computation.
There have been computer scientists that did not (or only rarely) touch computers. They theorized, wrote down their findings and let other people code (or run software) they had written. An example would be Edsger Dijkstra
Think of it with this analogy: some doctors never see patients but still practice in the medical field eg as researchers, policy experts etc.

Second, at the basic degree level, programming is mandatory. It is however more often than not, superficially taught. Many computer science grads are mediocre programmers.
Note too that CS is considered a runaway branch of mathematics and so some practitioners are actually involved in research that is really maths or even electronics.

Finally, please differentiate software engineering from computer science. Software engineering is taught in computer science courses but only 40% of software engineers are computer scientists (in the developed world).
All aforementioned are branches of computer science.... Na was for uo...

Computers are incidental to computer science. Computer science is about computation not computers.
What you call a computer today is a machine based on the von- Neumann architecture. There are other architectures and their product may not resemble the common idea of a computer.

CS as a field existed before the modern computer was invented (although it wasn't termed CS). Ever heard of the Charles Babbage and his adding machine? Ever heard of the Jacquard loom or the abacus?
These are aids to computation as well.

There are 'computer scientists' working on information storage and data retrieval using DNA. They utilize theories from CS but work on biological systems.

And next time, keep your arguments impersonal

if i had the chance..i wouldn't have wasted my time and resources going to school.... would have utilized it on something more enterpreneurial and productive...
The basic knowledge i got in sec school was more than enough.
University was more or less a social gathering.. where d knowledge derivable can easily b obtained by someone with access to textbooks and the internet, in d comfort of his home​.
Education in Nigeria is advanced scam...

100% true...if all the self made millionaires followed our template for success, they wouldn't be where they are now..university education Is for selected few in courses like medicine..If I had my way,I'll have used the time and resources at the university to be an agricpreneur produce and package foods, raw materials for industries... all university education is a fun fare and social gatherings... that is why western world laughs at us..we still stuck in the Precambrian era of go to SCH, pass with a good grade and seek for jobs.. information and knowledge with its application is now the answer to our yearnings as blacks.
