NYSC / Re: Help!!! NYSC Batch 2013 B Or Phd Abroad by Adesam01(m): 8:04am On Dec 04, 2017
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and opinions on this topic.

I have completed my PhD and had my graduation ceremony in November 2017. During my study period, I published 5 articles in top-tier journals and attended 6 conferences in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam and USA.

My doctoral thesis was granted outstanding thesis award and one of my conference papers received the best student paper award. I also received other awards and scholarships for outstanding academic performance.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher but I will consider doing my NYSC soon smiley, who knows I may have a role to play in strengthening Nigeria's Science, Technology, Engineering, Education and Development (STEED) capacities in the future.

Thank you!

Education / Re: Mistake On My Ekiti State University Certificate, How To Recitfy It by Adesam01(m): 7:19pm On Jul 20, 2017
supernet5:
@Adesam01 Does it mean i have to collect the certificate like that first then start processing the correction or i leave it with them for now and start with the correction process. Also does it involve spending money and what would be the range if money would be spent

Yes, you have to collect it first.
It should cost you nothing...

It's not uncommon in EKSU... Go to exam and record office, and apply for correction... Try to convince the most senior person there about the urgency.

You will be asked to write a letter for correction of name on your certificate and attach a photocopy of the certificate with error.

It can take between 1 - 4 weeks.

All the best...

I want to encourage everyone reading this to be positive and work harder.

My first GPA was 3.33 but graduated with 4.56 - Civil Engineering.

Your CGPA can increase steadily irrespective of how low it was at the beginning; also your CGPA shouldn't reduce.

With absolute help of God coupled with diligence and hard work, you will get to the top. Avoid unnecessary distractions, despite the fact that I was a key Exco in my fellowship for 3 sessions, I still made it up the ladder.

Peace be unto my readers.

Education / Re: KSU Ranked 111th(second To The Last) In Nigeria. by Adesam01(m): 5:00pm On Aug 05, 2014
yemi2plus:

I'm from Kogi State and also a student of the school, however, I disagree with you that admission into the university is not based on Merit.

I have been around the school for more than three years now and I know how things work here. Like you may know, the entrance exam is CBT and the result is released latest 7 days after the exam and students are scored base on their performance.

Saying they admit more of their indigene is false and without evidence to backup your claim. You see, some students from other states like Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Lagos, Oyo and other states in the south-west region of the country claim to come from the Kogi state and visit any part of Okun in the state to claim origin since they answer same yoruba names with people from Okun.

Alot of desperate admission seekers do this because that is the surest way to be admitted to KSU.
Education / Re: KSU Ranked 111th(second To The Last) In Nigeria. by Adesam01(m): 9:24am On Aug 05, 2014
bankyblue: the three last University should be relegated to polytechnic.

This ranking is based on the number of visitors to the university website i.e. webometric and not based on the university education, administrative or infrastructural standard. It is misleading and It should be checked by NUC.

Well, KSU in that position is not surprising because they admit only Kogi State indigene massively and treat others like "shit" even when they are qualified.

N.S: Don't quote me if you don't have any good point or evidence to tackle my points! I was born and I grew up in Kogi State so I know what am saying.
Health / Re: Ebola Cure? Nigeria Professor Research on treatment with Bitter Kola by Adesam01(m): 5:08pm On Aug 01, 2014
FutureDon:

I did too, but found nothing insightful. If true, one would expect to see published papers or citations demonstrating its efficacy/replicability. In addition, one would expect a novel discovery as this one (if truly it is) to be published in high impact journal.

I checked online and I saw some of his publications! He recently published the second edition of his book "Handbook of African Medicinal Plants" with Taylor and Francis group (CRC Press) and the book has over 900 citations, I saw the preview on Google books.

I feel his works are quite impressive.

Health / Ebola Cure? Nigeria Professor Research on treatment with Bitter Kola by Adesam01(m): 4:12pm On Jul 30, 2014
This article was published on BBC years ago, the question that comes to mind is why hasn't this precious research output been put to use? Is it because its coming from an African (Our own Prof Maurice Iwu) or this claim is just another academic scam?

A plant has been found to halt the deadly Ebola virus in its tracks in laboratory tests, scientists have said.

The extract can be eaten or rubbed into the skin. They used a compound from Garcinia kola, a plant commonly eaten in West Africa. Compounds from the plant have also proved effective against some strains of flu.

If the anti-Ebola compound proves successful in animal and human trials, it will be the first medicine to successfully treat the virus that causes Ebola haemorrhagic fever - an often-fatal condition.

The discovery was announced at the 16th International Botanical Congress in St Louis in the US.

The Ebola virus was first documented in 1976 after an outbreak in Zaire - now the Democratic Republic of the Congo - where 88% of the 318 human cases died.

More recently, a 1995 outbreak in the same country had a death rate of 81% of the 315 infected.

There are four types of the virus - Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Ivory Coast all affect humans, while Ebola-Reston has so far only affected monkeys and chimpanzees.

However, doctors have been unable to stop the virus once infection has taken hold - hence the disease has gained a terrifying reputation.

Traditional origins

Dr Maurice Iwu, who set up and heads the Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme, led the research. Dr Maurice Iwu said the discovery was a breakthrough. It started 10 years ago when researchers were led to the plant by traditional native healers who have used the plant for the treatment of infectious diseases for centuries.

"This is a very exciting discovery," said Dr Iwu, who himself comes originally from a family of traditional healers.

"The same forest that yields the dreaded Ebola virus could be a source of the cure."

Fighting chance

The virus multiplies rapidly in the human body and quickly overwhelms it, and in advanced cases the patient develops high fever and severe bleeding. The Garcinia kola compound has been shown to halt multiplication of the virus in the laboratory. If repeated in humans, this would give the body a chance to fight off the virus.

The active compound is what is known as a dimeric flavonoid, which is two flavonoid molecules fused together.

Flavonoids are non-toxic and can be found in orange and lemon rinds as well as the colourings of other plants.

Drug hopes

The tests are in the early stages still, but the researchers hope that if they continue to prove successful the compound the US Food and Drug Administration will put it on a fast track - making a drug available to humans within a matter of years.

"The discovery of these important properties in a simple compound - flavonoids - was very surprising," said Dr Iwu.

"The structure of this compound lends itself to modification, so it provides a template for future work.

"Even if this particular drug does not succeed through the whole drug approval process, we can use it to construct a new drug for this deadly disease."

This shows the extent of decay in people's mind and in our society! It is morally wrong to repay evil with evil. I also doubt the integrity of his first class because a first class graduate should be able to think out of the box!

Education / Scholarship Scam:Security Forces Arrest First Class Graduate Over Internet Fraud by Adesam01(m): 6:52pm On Jul 26, 2014
Following a petition received from OPEC Fund for International Development alleging that an OFID Scholarship Website” with OFID name and logo had been used to defraud Nigerians, the Police Special Fraud Unit, SFU, Lagos has arrested the suspected syndicate – that includes a First Class graduate. Olalekan Fajobi, 27, a First Class honours Mechanical Engineering graduate from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, FUTA, was arrested alongside Oluwapelumi Falade, 25; Victor Asaolu, 25; Temitope Awote, 27; Emmanuel Bolatiri, 25; and Oluwatosin Adebomi.

According to reports from Premium times, the petitioners stated that, applicants were required to pay N2, 500 as an application fee and over 2,000 applicants paid the fees through the First Bank Account Number 2020874607 and Access Bank Account Number 0056941009 with the name OFID WSAS NG. The petitioner stated that it was one of the victims that contacted OFID via Facebook, accusing OFID of being complicit in the fraud. The SFU said, in a statement on Saturday, that its Cybercrime Section swung into action after receiving the petition and Mr. Falade, the alleged mastermind of the fraud, was arrested. “His arrest led to the arrest of five other syndicate members,” the police said in the statement by Ngozi Isintume-Agu, Police Public Relations Officer, SFU.

“Police investigation so far revealed that over 2,000 applicants paid the sum of N2, 500 each into the two banks provided by the suspects and the principal suspect is the only signatory to both accounts,” Mrs. Isintume-Agu said. Mr. Olalekan, who graduated at the top of his class in 2012 and is currently working with Dee Xecutor Concept, said that he had been a victim of internet fraud, according to the police. “He stated that while in school, he lived in the same lodge with the 1st suspect (Mr. Falade) and his mates/friends always come to him for educational assistance because of his intelligence,” the police statement said.

“That he once fell victim for scholarship known as EDIADS, which made the 1st suspect to approach him and got some information regarding that one, which he believed gave him an idea on how to design OFID Scholarship Website. “He further stated that he lent the 1st suspect the sum N12, 000.00 for hosting the Website. He later gave him N20, 000.00 in return and informed him that the fraud was successful,” it added. Mr. Falade, the alleged mastermind of the fraud, is a 500 level student of Estate Management at FUTA confessed that he designed the website of OFID WSAS (OPEC Fund for International Development for World Student Aid Scholarship) in June, 2012, the police said. Mr. Falade also said that he got the idea from Messrs Olalekan and Bolatiri, the police added. “He also admitted that he opened an account in both First Bank and Access Bank with the name OFID WSAS NG for applicants to pay in their application fee which many responded to. “He further stated that he and his cohorts printed a postal for OFIDWAS which was on the website,” it said. The police said that Mr. Asaolu, an unemployed graduate of Mining Engineering from FUTA, confessed that he assisted in pasting the posters online and was paid N120,000 for his effort.

Another member of the syndicate, Mr. Awote, a 500 level Estate Management student of FUTA, confessed that he assisted the principal suspect to sign guarantor for the bank accounts for the OFID program and was paid N70,000, according to the police. “He stated that he participated in pasting and publicizing the fake OFID Scholarship Program. He also stated that he knew from the onset that the OFID Scholarship Program is a scam aimed at defrauding innocent scholarship applicant but that he still went on to deceive the bank that his friend is honest and the program genuine,” said the police statement.

Mr. Bolatiri, a handset dealer, stated that he lent Mr. Falade N8, 000 and was later paid N12, 000, the police said. “He corroborated Fajobi Olalekan’s statement that they applied for scholarship while in school which turned out to be fake and they shared their experiences with the 1st suspect which gave him an idea on how to design his own fake Website with OFID name/logo,” it said. Mr. Adebomi, also a graduate of FUTA and currently working as a Programmer II with Delta State Polytechnic, Ozoro, offered professional advice to the 1st suspect and lent him N10,000 and was later given N100,000 as his own share, the statement said.

Your Example...

again: 2*2+2 =6
then 5*5 again = 25
join them together = 625


My Problem!
find the square of 11
again: 1*1+1 =2
then 1*1 again = 1
join them together = 21 (Actual answer --> 11^2 = 121)


Same for 12 - 14

Well, in the country I live, we have access to public toilets free of charge. If not close by, I can enter any store or business center and use theirs for free. As much as I agree that all foreign countries are not "heaven", am speaking from the perspective of where I have been and living now.
