hector:


The whole idea of a PhD is to offer a specialty to an individual. Have you ever heard that someone was given a PhD in chemistry, Biology or Physics? Have you heard of PhD in English just plain English no specialty?

PhD does not have specialty written on the certificate.

Many people both home and abroad have PhDs in Chemistry, Physics, English, Electrical engineering, etc.

The same courses that they graduated as Bachelor degree holders.

But in the case of a PhD, if you have a PhD in let's say physics, you must have a specialty which can only be written in your transcript, but it's not written on your certificate in most universities.

You can work on fluid dynamics, do research and finally defend your thesis in fluid dynamics which is under applied Mathematics. That will be your specialty.

The specialty will be written in your transcript.

But on your certificate, it will be written PhD in Mathematics.

My friend specializes in Bio Mathematics (which is the area he did his research and defended his thesis) but his certificate from uniben carries PhD Mathematics instead of PhD in Bio Mathematics.

Only in his transcript is it written that he specializes in Bio Mathematics.


It's better that way because people can switch specialty by starting a research in other areas like financial Mathematics, publish journals and become a specialist in financial Mathematics.

If your certificate carries medical Mathematics, it has limited you.

What if you decide to major in financial Mathematics after some years, people will not really believe you because your certificate is reading medical Mathematics while you are claiming to be a specialist in financial Mathematics.

Congratulations Dr...

Wanna ask this curious question... at the stage you are right now.. is dere any math or statistics questions that is unsolvable for you? ...

Just curious... just wanna know if is possible to know all

If a question proves difficult to solve, I can easily research and get the answer.

Not all answers are handy. This is because the field of mathematics and statistics is very wide and there are many complex questions in many areas such as fluid dynamics.

But a PhD holder should be able to get answers to questions by reading and research.

At that level, you can easily understand when you go through the methods of solving any question even if the question proves hard and complex to other people.

hector:


So even at PhD level, Usman Dan Fodio University has no option in mathematics? People are still awarded with a degree such as this? What happened to PhD in mathematical modeling, PhD in applied mathematics and so on?

The idea is that if you study let's say medical mathematics or financial mathematics, you are limited to a specific area of mathematics.

A person who studies medical mathematics may not be employed in a financial institution and a person who studies financial mathematics may not be employed in a hospital.

But if you study mathematics, it is all encompassing. You can decide to start a research in the field of medical mathematics, publish your discoveries in reputable journals and you can work in a hospital.

I know a PhD holder in mathematics who is both a lecturer and also works in a hospital because he is into the application of soft sets in medicine.

Had it been he studied medical mathematics, he may not be allowed to lecture in the field of pure mathematics.

But he may have chance to work in a hospital.


The same thing goes for someone who studies financial mathematics, applied mathematics, fluid dynamics etc.

It's better for your certificate to show that you study mathematics while you then have options of specializing in any area you deem lucrative, than for your certificate to narrow you down to a specific area.



The central idea is that if you have a PhD, try to do research in different areas of your course and publish journals.

Anguldi:

Why you no go UNN, UNILAG, UNIPORT, FUTMINNA

UDUS also has one of the best lecturers.

There are many professors in every department.

There is no department that doesn't have many professors.

It was one of the first universities established in 1975 and since then it has undergone tremendous improvement.

I thank everyone here who has congratulated me.

I could have replied to each congratulatory message and question. But I am busy now.

All I can say is that I am very grateful to you all.

Remain blessed.

JohnnA1:

What a great feat.

Congratulations 👏🏾

What was your study technique like?

And more importantly, what techniques do you use to actively RECALL from memory what you have read?

Thanks.

I read anytime I am less busy.

I can't remember having a specific technique to help recall from memory.

I know that if I read something over and again, I would always remember it.

Sometimes if I read something repeatedly, I would begin to see it in a new light.

New insights would emerge and I would see the relationship among many concepts.

Sucre6:
Congratulations op, a great height u have attain

Thank you very much.

MrAmaechi:
Congrats

Thank you very much.

AgentGoat:
congratulations

Thank you very much.

Namaster:


All right, sir.

Congrats, again. You did something incredible.

Ok.

Thank you.

Stephen0mozzy:
Congratulations Dr. Op

Thank you very much.

Namaster:
Congratulations, Doctor.

Out of curiosity, are you a lecturer or work in a company?

Thank you very much.

I'm a lecturer.

Finally I have collected my PhD notification of result.

I went from my state Akwa Ibom to Sokoto and throughout my stay, I was not descriminated against.

In fact the Hausa people were very good to me, from my neighbors in my area to the lecturers in the school I did my PhD.

I spent a lot of time in research and I have learnt a lot both in pure and applied mathematics.

Finally, I have been awarded with a PhD in Mathematics.

I know someone who went to South Africa in late 2018 to pursue a PhD.

He finished in early 2020. He spent about one year six months to obtain a PhD.

He said that in South Africa, there is nothing like seminars, internal defence and Viva (external defence).

What you do is to write your thesis and submit it to the school.

They will go through it and award you a PhD.

No Viva.

Please is it true that all ministries have been paid December salary?

Someone said it is only federal tertiary institutions that are not paid December salary.

Let's hope everyone will receive soon.

Blacklion3:
7victor happy Christmas in advance

Same to you. Thanks.

Now that most federal government workers have not been paid December salary or even the #35,000 palliative, how do you intend to celebrate the Christmas?

For me, I intend to buy drinks for people who visit.

Women have to be very careful.

One of my cousins went abroad to one of these countries.

Many women went abroad for better living conditions but end up as prostitutes.

She said there are areas where if a man and woman is having sex, they will arrest the woman and take her for stoning.

The military went to some areas and arrested all the naked women who were having sex. They let the men to go free.

She later heard that they have hanged all of the women.

Sometimes a woman fall into the ocean during the trip.

Sometimes the host of the black women end up killing or selling the women.

A lot of horrible stories.

My cousin came back totally broke and sad.

So women need to be careful.

Don't travel out of the country just because someone promised you good life.

Find out what is happening in reality.

The issue is that if I like a woman because maybe she is attractive or intelligent or nice/kind-hearted/caring, it will only remain in the arena of "Like".

But immediately she started showing interest in me, she will become sexy in addition to her initial qualities that made me like her in the first place.

That's when I will move from Like to Love.



Also a woman who shows sexual interest in me suddenly becomes very sexy and attractive to me.

In fact a woman who says "I must sleep with the man afterall he is a man" is suddenly more attractive to me than the most beautiful woman in the world.

The actress that made that statement in the movie I once watched, till today I find her to be the most attractive actress in Nollywood just because she made that statement.


Another case is that let's say I am about to enter a room, a woman blocks my way in a playful manner, I suddenly finds her very attractive and sexy. In fact every type of teasing by women is very attractive to me.

The most surprising one is a woman who wants to have sex with me.

I tell the truth and nothing but the truth: The only women currently occupying a place in my heart and I find it difficult to forget them are the women (1) who wanted to have sex with you, (2) who told me to marry her (3) who teased me one way or another. Maybe she just appeared from nowhere and said something, cover my face or did any other things.(4) who showed interest in me.

What do you think about this?

Please no insult.

Samantha123:
Being from SA, growing up I heard stories of how Zulus are stubborn and cheeky, Vendas are diabolical, Tsongas are dirty, Coloureds are violent, Afrikaners are racist, and that Xhosas are loud and like exaggeration.

But now that I'm older, I've realized that those things are just stereotypes and not entirely true.. just because a small group of people from a certain tribe have a habit of doing something, it doesn't mean it applies to the rest of the tribe.

Ok. Thanks

Moving freely is nothing

Why are northerners allowed to move around armed with knives everywhere

A southerner can't even move around with a knife in the south talk more of North

Ok sir. Thanks

I reach back in my memory to recall when IBB said almost the same thing when a reporter asked him about the money he purportedly took from the nation's coffer.


He claimed he didn't have money. He declared that he didn't enrich himself while in government.

He gave out that after he stepped down, subsequent governments have tried to recover the money he supposedly stole only to discover there was nothing to recover.

Almost all politicians would claim they have nothing except the ones they acquired from some honest dealings.

In the nature of things, dreams change whenever we move to the next facet of our life.

For example, the kind of dreams you are having while in secondary school will be different from the ones you will have when you get to higher institution.


Sometimes, it doesn't mean anything. Immediately after finishing a course of study, you could start dreaming of schooling with or without your former school mates.


After you have packed from a house, you may start dreaming of staying in that house.

I think this is embedded in your inner mind's desire to package your experiences in a manner illustrative of a final packaging of movie after the actors have finished acting. What you are watching in a movie has already been acted.

After my brother left a church which he had attended for my years, he started dreaming of attending the church, something that hitherto did not happen.

Sometimes our brain would start processing our experiences after we have left the stage. It will then manifest these experiences in dreams.

Commonly, some people dream about what has already happened just like few people dream about what will happen in the future.


That's why our dreams typically involve our daily experiences because they are what have already happened.

But if there is anything about those dreams that evince the possibility that you would suffer retrogression in life, just pray to God and He will help you.

Thats unfair, it should not be like that, the thread was purposely to share information regarding salaries and allowances

That's true sir.

Medianna:

I find it a little bit strange too,cuz its one of the things that is keeping this thread alive.

That's true.

Federal colleges of Education and polytechnics have been receiving salaries since afternoon but nobody is saying it here.

The federal government has withdrawn the earlier order to Vice Chancellors to reopen Universities and resume lectures.

may god provide

Amen. Thanks
