mrphysics: I am enjoying your story. I like how you try to give complete details of every experience you have encountered. On the video part. I don't think you can upload video directly on nairaland. I doubt if there database can carry the size. It might slow or crash it. However, you can create a YouTube account, then upload the video to YouTube, which you will embed the link on nairaland. So when you're playing the video, it's coming from YouTube database but showing on nairaland. modified From your analysis, NPP will be very efficient from this stale method Nigeria is using to generate power. I will like to know your thoughts on Wind Turbine & Solar System if those can also be implemented since they won't be costly like NPP I read somewhere, last year or so where Germany or one European country were begging & willing to pay their citizens to use power because it was too much. What power system do they use? 7 Likes |

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are staying safe. We have been engaged in the last weeks and days, being stuck before the screen of your laptop for hours everyday is unarguably, one of the most difficult ways of learning. Like its been established, the French Education System is difficult and complex. Conducting exams online is something most of them won't agree to. They will look for a way to subject you to their poor grading system. We have written one exam thus far (of course online) and we have two this coming week. Tuesday and Friday. Instead of adopting online exam, all of them opted for oral exam. In this method, you come in sessions of 30 minutes each. Turn on your system camera and audio, and respond to the questions as they come. This is the model of the two exams we have this week. But the previous exam was strange. We all connected to the zoom session, the lecturer shared the exam question on zoom, and we began to answer the questions on our MSWord. After 30 minutes, he requested we send the document to him via email. He confirmed receipt of the entire document before ending the session. This is strange, I don't even know why they choose this method. Well, they do not trust the integrity of most students. However, some scholars in other schools are giving some questions and asked to submit before a particular time. Which is good. My school will surely overdo and impose their bad marking scheme on us all. Last semester was difficult for me. I had no idea the French are reserved and conservative with everything. The results shocked me . Battling with upgrading the poor education received in Nigeria, coping with the seemingly new field, and coming up after 4 years of leaving the university, everything was so hard. When the results came out, it wasn't looking good neither was it looking bad. I just didn't get the right grades in where I wanted. I was 0.4 points below the distinction range. The hope that things would turn around this semester having understood the system and knowing how some of them are impressed, this hope was adversely affected by Covid-19. Now, we are all learning new ways of passing. In a country where alot is placed on grade, it becomes irrelevant not trying to get a good grade and becomes necessary to understand the concept and competencies than the grades. Whichever way, there's no reason not to get good grades. We have to hustle it up. But I like the French people or say system, though difficult but one thing is sure, you will get all the competencies you need. 10 Likes |

I haven't turned 30, but I don't have any dreams for 30 or any age. I think it is important that we all have an independent and unique way of living this life. The country is working on a group theory, people trying to be like others or greatly influenced by others who sometimes are expert biased. So during my NYSC, someone introduced me to Fiverr. It hasn't been easy but I have made about N10m from it since mid 2017 that I started. I got every info from nairaland. And it has transformed my life in a very positive way. I didn't stay up to 3 months post NYSC before getting a job. I should have turned it down since I was comfortable already with the earnings I got on Fiverr without stress. But I needed to have the experienced and I must confess, it's been the most impressive time of my life. Although throughout the 2 years I worked in Abuja, I earned more from Fiverr every month However, the things I learned was worth the experience. The people I have met and the inputs I made to the country was most significant to me. I worked in a good place, not that the pay is close to oil company, but then, I was appreciated. The inputs I made was duly acknowledged and my presence changed a lot of things. Before leaving the country, I submitted my resignation letter and the MD rejected it. We concluded that when I come back, I will work for them and not the government The four paragraphs above summarized everything I know about life. It has to be simple, humble, and above all you have to be independent. I have achieved a lot of things that could be classified as impressive and yet haven't turned 30. So this week, I concluded the second land purchase, a 2 plots of land valued for N2+m. Coming here, I knew I wouldn't be looking for work though it's impossible to work and study in my school (almost true in France). But I knew doing my Fiverr work is something that is constant. It's not stopping expect if anything happens to my Fiverr account. We are hustlers and it shall thus remain irrespective of where we are or work. 22 Likes 3 Shares

Sad and most unfortunate, the outlook of things in Nigeria is not good. There are tough times ahead. The coming months won't be good in Nigeria. Owing also to the fact that most people joke alot in the country, enhanced by the ignorant population, what lies ahead is beyond the comprehension of most Nigerians. Not trying to put fear in you but I don't think the country will remain the same end of this month and the coming months. God should just help us all. I tried to analyze the situation and I can tell you most certainly that situation is not good. Nigeria is in it's earliest phase of Covid-19. Everyone just played to the waiting prophesies of experts and upon us it's almost getting fulfilled. Expected to peak in September 2019, Nigeria have the tendency to remain the epicenter of Covid-19 in Africa. What is happening to the population in America will likely play out. Sorry, it was hard to write this to you but you have to brace up. 2 Likes |

Things are not getting back to normal in France. We have been told not to expect to live our normal life anytime soon. The daily cases are decreasing but expected to rise again after the lockdown is lifted May 11. Hence the reason they extended the Covid-19 emergency service to July 24th. We hope not to go into lockdown again. The French Schools are already adapting to recommendations from government. To this effect, my school and other schools are already sensitizing students who wish to travel should they see flights. New intakes for September 2020 won't resume physically. They will use the online learning system until end of the year. Physical resumptions for new masters program will only happen in January 7th, 2020 For us, they are implementing the recommendations from government, making sure they are no more than 10 persons in the class and that physical distancing is maintained, school cafeterias closed, and that the entrance gate/area is different from the exit area. Also being suggested is that, most of the things we are not able to cover due the online situation such as some modelings, practicals, and some calculation classes be moved to February 2021 or beginning of September. Worst of all, they are anticipating a possible repeat of the semester after our second year. We have been informed and though we rejected it, it's still in the picture. 5 Likes |

Lastly, the management has assured us with their plans, how important they take our competencies. We have been assured that the competencies needed to effectively function in the sensitive Nuclear Industry must be giving to us before we leave. According to them, it is risky not to do so and they won't. So professors and lecturers are mandated to ensure competency is prioritized and not grade. Because even if you get Cs or Ds all through which is a pass mark, without the competency, you will insult the school and the French system in the labour market. I like the French for this, they are very thorough. They go through the process and make sure you get everything. They value their Grande Ecole schools and strive to live up to the expectations. The learning experience though difficult is perfect to me. The lecturers are people with wealth of experience in the industry. We had lecturer who was in Chernobyl when the accident happened and other leading experts in the field. It's amazing anyway. Lastly, I am fine and I pray we are all fine.

Re: My France Picture Gallery by mrphysics(m): 9:19am On May 03, 2020 |
uzedo1: You are very correct. There's still a lot of things that needs to be done before we go nuclear. Now two questions arises: 1. Do one needs to learn how to use a laptop before buying one? 2. Does owning a laptop force one to know how to use a laptop/phone. Of course this analogy may not work but it will surely help in seeing what needs to be done. I think they should be energy mix in Nigeria just like every advanced countries do. Nigeria is too large to use one source. So everything including solar, wind, etc should be used. Nuclear only comes with a lot of advantages. One of which is the fact that once a nuclear power plant is started, it will produce energy for atleast 6 months. With newer reactor designs, one can do fuel maintenance while in operation. Imagine having a constant electricity for atleast 6 months nonstop giving to industries, etc at a cheap rate. What effects do you think it will have to our economy and SMEs? 6 Likes |
Re: My France Picture Gallery by mrphysics(m): 9:21am On May 03, 2020 |
uzedo1: By stopping all nuclear reactors in 2021, Germany will turn to electricity importer for the first time in recent years. Buying electricity from France (Nuclear). Since they have the money, it's not a big deal. But truth is, they won't remain energy efficient but will depend on importation of clean energy. 2 Likes |

Spacewalk:Everything you need to know about Fiverr has been repeatedly explained on nairaland. Just go to the business section and search for the thread "How to become a level 2 seller in month." About 2 years ago, I decided to stop chasing money on Fiverr by accepting all jobs. I restricted myself to a certain number of orders and has been working with a dedicated writer since 2018. 3 Likes |

After a hectic lecture day which ended by 6:15pm, I insisted I must go for sports. There's this pitch 10m from my residence. It's been a place for evening physical exercises where I aim to sweat and also to maintain good mental and psychological health. So today, I decided to take some pictures. It's a sunny day in Nantes France. With temperature similar to what can be obtainable in Nigeria. The maximum temperature for today was 19 degrees with 12 degree minimum temperature. So it's a good day in terms of weather. Every other has been constant: water, electricity, internet, security, etc. 6 Likes

Another advantage of coming to this place is the kind of people that comes to do sports. The shapes of these ladies here, I often ask myself if this heavenly race is still for me The shape of their ladies is thrilling. Families, couples, usually find their way to this sporting arena. Each doing different things and sports. Some training for something I do not know. 6 Likes

mrphysics: Most price of commodity will be reduced, more job opportunities will be created and so many hidden benefits. I get your point now. We need to diversify power generation in Nigeria. But if I may ask. Since you're widely read, I believe after you post graduate studies, you can also bring power investors to Nigeria, instead of settling down to engage in your former place of work. By so doing, you have brought little change in the country even though people might not notice it. 1 Like |

Tomorrow is my Radioprotection exam. I have been reading the over 500 slides lectures from 3 different lecturers. It's stressful, voluminous, and difficult to remember every key points. I will be facing a panel tomorrow and would be required to answer questions including calculations within 25 minutes. Having been reading since morning, by 9pm, I decided to take a walk around my residence. This time, I went East of my residence, towards, Ecole Centrale De Nantes and University De Nantes area which is just 10 minutes walk from here. Everywhere was looking like a shadow of itself. It was still clear anyway. So this is the roundabout between our street and the one leading to the two schools. 4 Likes
