Someone should help with link please.

RixExpat: Hello FRM Candidates,

I want to have an idea about the number of candidates preparing for the FRM Exam as I am planning to start an FRM tutorial center here in Lagos. If the number is reasonable, I will approach some other high profile individuals and prospective tutors who are also certified FRMs and some of whom are also CFA charter holders so we can commence an FRM tutorial center in Lagos. Lectures may not commence before the next 2013 November exam considering the logistics that need to be put in place but we can provide mentoring for those who may need that for the November exam.

Regards.

Hi Sir, I am planning on writing the PRM exam 1 very soon and I don't know if it's a good idea to order the prep material from PRMIA website and prepare first before applying to write the exam? I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks

tope ayan: Yea are u d 1 omo long time ooooooo

No am not the one....but he is ma pal...

earthgreeners: Sorry ooo... I just browsed tru the list of top 20 universities in Africa..I cldnt find this glorified high school on the list.... how come its better by far.... ohh I see...among the high schools in Nigeria....

(Clear throat)...Judging by your post, you rep OAU? but why una dey like to dey beef us na?...Am sure you don't know the history of the school and I will also assume that you don't know how universities are rank. Am not ready for a debate now but if you force my hand...na u go tire o!

Peace.

Abeg o! I don come again o!...Please I need link to watch the match online o!

Hmmm, nothing of such in Unilorin....If you want such courses then you should be looking at up country universities...I no mention any name o!

Debbylia: Exactly, ain't the sis debby U̶̲̥̅̊ think. Sent a request via mail τ̅☺ you.

Ok I got it. You know what to do.

do u also know Gbenga comp sci?

adbaba: Its great to b a unilorite.studying in unilorin could so difficult and culd b easy.it depends on hw u want it.

Am a 300 lvl std of physics.i must say it was hell during my 100lvl days till i discovrd myself.then when i just got my admisn.i was told a lot of bullsh.t abt my dept.i swollowed all hook,line and sinker.it really affected me.til i started believin otherwise.then changes came.

2 d newly admited students dnt let d admsn get into ur head.START NOW!. NEVA compare urself wit anybody.take every course offered/moved whatever as a good omen and love it.treat dat course like a new born baby that needs attentn.follow ur instinct.B wit dose wit positive mentality.prioritize ur time.have a gud stalite as a friend and confidant....it goes on and on...THE MOST IMPORTANT IS 'PUT GOD 1ST'.

2 my fellow stalites i hail o.to the alumus iba yin o.BBF nooni.

Good one! I like your tactics, and I encourage you to keep it up. I also used similar tools during my time and looking back am happy I did.

Hmmm better by far indeed! I remembered the days of writing exams just immediately after new year celebration, I remembered the days of dress code including Id cards things....I remembered the days of struggling to get a seat in the library during exam periods.

I can't forget the delicious amala at iya yusuf restaurant and the fried(curry) and jollof rice at sister biggs(Lagos hostel). I remembered mama kabba at the back of the black market besides SUB where we used to eat pounded yam in large quantities.....

I remembered village one hostel....the one and only boys hostel where everyone wants to be noticed...I miss guys like Kuti and his team....I must not forget MBO the chairman, thanks for the nice party you organized for the finalist...the rice and big chunks of meat were awesome.

Unilorin is indeed better by far and am proud to represent.

phaphyz05: .
Oga easy nah na so Una special reach?

Yesso! We are special ganni...lol...and u rep?

Debbylia: am doing great fa! But shey U̶̲̥̅̊ sure say U̶̲̥̅̊ sabi me cos no be debby I dey use for sch o.

With due respect sir, I don't think it's proper for us to come to an online forum like this and show our hatred expectially by mentioning names.
Thanks for your understanding.

Debbylia: hmmmm....am also sharing CACSA wit U̶̲̥̅̊ both, sis sewa of God and bro d***d of christ.

Hmmm....I think I know you How are you doing fa? Nice to meet you again on this forum.

@Adeshewa, you sound familiar. Well, I don't wanna reveal my identity and yours here but I finished in 2012 and I think we both shared CACSA in common and should rem. remember me now with my a.k.a "scholar".

Young po413: @Op,ask that your friend if she has ever dumped someone who was really much in love with her?as in if she has broken someones heart before,because only female heartbreakers deserves to be treated this way.

You took the words out of my mouth! Nice contributions so far but many of the contributors neglected the most important question. Have we all forgotten about Karma? What goes around come around. @ op, please am very sorry for this but I think you need to answer the question above so that we can learn one or two things, most especially those of us that play with people's heart.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I've been thinkly lately about marriage and religion and I can't just make any reasonable conclusion on my own, so I decided to share it and ask for your views.

It's very obvious at least from research that many ladies are more than ready to forfeit their religion when it comes to marriage, but why?

Let me share a short story with you. There is this lady that I know back then, she is some years older and also of a different religion to the guy she was dating. Infact, this lady is strong in faith when it comes to her religion, she observes her prayer regurlarly, she is clean to a fault, homely and nice as well to the extent that many good guys that shared the same religion with her won't mind marrying her instantly. But she is more than ready to throw her religion away just to marry her dream guy who has a different religion.

Please, what can we conclude out of this? Is it that ladies don't really care much about religion or marriage takes preference? Or is it the joy of marriage and motherhood that drive their decision? Or is it Love?

It beats my imagination to reason out why on earth will someone be more than willing to forfeit paradise all for the sake of marriage at least if you believe you are on the right path(religion). Because, I for one can't leave my religion which I believe is the only Way the Truth and The Life for any thing be it marriage or something else.

You are all welcome to share your opinion.

Thanks Paddy, I''ll check it out.

kimco: This is my take on premarital sex. In the days of old, people married early, so having premarital sex was seen as a sin cos i mean b4 18 or even 16, some even younger and u've already had sex, u gotta be a serious wh.ore. However, these days people have to think of how to settle dwn b4 marrying and that's like 27yrs least for males and 25 for females least for females, generally speaking. Also with sex everywhere in our daily lives, it'll be insane not to have sex, we'll be forced to masturbate...i have never dne it b4 and i'll never do it, ever. However, jumping from one person to anoda, is jux not ryt and for me damn stupid. It'll be extremely wicked for religious leaders not to identify with this problem and come to a compromise. Our God is a God of reason and compromise, he isn't that stiff odawise we wouldn't have had his son die for us and most def would have had the earth swallow us immediately we sinned. Besydes if we're to abide by the everything in the bible....then we wouldn't even be here talking... so pls when u open ur mouth to say things u think make u look smart, u think about the other rules that apply to u that u aren't even following. Thank u

I'm a christian btw... B4 clueless people accuse me of being otherwise.

Are you implying that God often adjust? Nevertheless the foundation of the God standed sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. And, let anyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2Timothy 2vs19.

You see my friend, God is not a respecter of anybody and will never adjust His Standard in any way.

Adaeze003: Oh jeez... This alpha male crap again. Don't know why but this kind of talk makes me sick.smh
You're african right? And you have the right to marry more than one wife? Why not tell her though? Why sneak around like a common thief?

Sheesh... With all this raw ego, one would think that these men would be able to sit their fiancee down and let her know what she's getting herself into(polygamy) and then let her choose instead of luring her in with the thought of being his 'one and only' only to chase everytn in skirts under the umbrella of 'I'm an african man'.

And uhm... 95%? You have got to be kidding me.

Please don't look for cheap points by taking a fair advantage. You excerpt my post and analyse it without looking at it as a whole. Maybe you should go back and read the whole post again then you will see that all points pointed to the fact that ladies should not be promiscuous because if they do, they will pay for it dearly. The issue of marrying more than one wife by an African man was just an example to illustrate the effect's of ladies promiscuity on guys. And finally oh yes! Am an African man and am proud to be one.

Write a Matlab program, following the coding standard, that takes as input (the coefficients of ) an nth-degree polynomial and a starting point, and which then uses Newton-Raphson’s method to find the nearest stationary point of the polynomial . The program should
consist of precisely the following (not more, not less):

• A function NewtonRaphson (in the file NewtonRaphson.m) that takes as input
(i) a vector containing the coefficients of the polynomial considered,
(ii) a starting point, and
(iii) a tolerance parameter (for checking convergence), and
then executes the main iteration loop while storing the iterates xj , j = 0, 1, . . ..
After converging (i.e. when |xj+1−xj | < T, where T is the tolerance parameter)
the function should return a vector containing the iterates with the stationary
point as the last element in that vector.

• A function Polynomial (in the file Polynomial.m) which takes x and the n+1
coefficients of an nth-degree polynomial a0, a1, . . . , an as input, and returns the
value f(x) = a0 + a1x + . . . + anxn.

• A function PolynomialDifferentiation (in the file PolynomialDifferentiation.m)
which takes the n+1 coefficients of an nth-degree polynomial a0, a1, . . . , an and
the order k of the derivative as input and returns the n + 1 − k coefficients of
the kth derivative of the polynomial.
Example: if the input polynomial is 1 + 2x + 3x2 and k = 1, the input coeffi-
cents are (1, 2, 3), and the output coefficients should be (2, 6) If, instead, k = 2,
the output coefficients should instead be (6) (a vector with one element). If
k = 3, an empty vector should be returned.

• A function NewtonRaphsonStep (in the file NewtonRaphsonStep.m) which car-
ries out a Newton-Raphson iteration step as in taking xj , f'(xj) and f''(xj) as input, and returning xj+1.

• A function PlotIterations, which should be called after the end of the main
loop, and which plots the polynomial (in an appropriate range, both in the
horizontal and vertical directions) as well as the iterates (as circles) xj , j =
0, 1, . . ..

• A main script Main.m that defines the polynomial coefficients and starting
point, calls the NewtonRaphson function with these parameters and finally
calls PlotIterations as in the following example:
polynomialCoefficients = [10 -2 -1 1]; % Defines the polynomial 10 - 2x - x^2 + x^3
startingPoint = 2;
tolerance = 0.0001;
iterationValues = NewtonRaphson(polynomialCoefficients, startingPoint, tolerance);
PlotIterations(polynomialCoefficients,iterationValues);

Thanks in anticipation.

pc guru: As long as you don't have much substantial amount of sample there will always be a sampling error, even Statistics states that


Am familiar with getting sample cuz i do it alot and at the end of the day the result never tallies. its doesn't even reflect anything unless you have a good criteria for selecting the candidate being interviewed and Jesus Christ see the people that were answering they don't look like people with normal thinking capacity. prob if this were in a more enlightened environment. my opinion though since your mind is already made on the 95%, am just saying its a bit unfair to cast a wide net just become of the answers of some people. sounds wrong i would't want to be generalized like that.

As much as I acquiesce with your statistical facts the truth is still obvious. In any random sample of 10 ladies, the probability of those that are most likely to support the motion will still be strictly greater than 0.5, which will still verify my assertion. Also, you should note that I used the word "may" in my claim which gives room for the benefit of doubt.

pc guru: goes both ways not just the girls.. be objective when dealing with issues like this and frankly i find it disturbing that in the whole millions of Nigerian girls, you decided to use these samples to represent 95%. I loyally bow down to your statistical prowess

I understand your thoughts, but I must tell you that my judgement was not bias. Infact, it was evident from the video that out of all the ladies being interviewed, it was only one that went against the motion. Is that not a probability that approaches 1 as the number increases? Do the calculation again my friend and you will dicover that my judgement was based on pure statistics with data obtained randomly. I stand to be corrected if otherwise.

Princess zoe: Don't mind them, you asked the right question. The world is perverted and there is nothing anybody can do about that so therefore, any man who needs a good and faithful wife should equally be a good and faithful husband. God is a respecter of nobody. He will judge according to His standard and tradition or culture will not save anybody on the day of accountability. The bible says everybody should flee from adultery. You reap the seeds you sow whether good or bad.

Nobody is disputing the fact that he asked the right question. The truth is that you ladies are the cause of unfaithfulness of guys, how?

Firstly, most young ladies of nowadays are promiscous and before a guy open his mouth to woo them they have already opened their legs. If ladies should refuse giving in to most guys do you think there will be unfaithfulness among guys?

Secondly, it's always obvious on the female body, I mean the promiscuous ones, or how do you tell if a guy has slept with let say 10 ladies before marriage? the answer is in the obvious "no" but reverse is the case with ladies. And if any man marries a lady that has been depleted internally by several guys do you think such man won't want to look outside? So what are we saying?

I can continue ad continue but I will stop here for you to ponder on the above. Gone are those days of our grand mothers whereby they started with one and ended with one....little wonder why most of them can stand straight and pee unlike the ladies of today....

demelza: Are the men themselves faithful?

Wether men are faithful or not is the issue. Are we not in Africa/Nigeria where a man is entitled to marry more than one wife? Can a woman try that without being labelled a prostitute? These are questions that have been answered before you and I were born. So, what we are saying here is that ladies should try and cultivate a sincere habit in other to make a good wife for their future husband, whether a man is faithful or not does not really count because we married them into our house and not the other way round. Just for practical case, have you ever heard of a situation whereby a wife sent her husband out of her house due to infidelity? Such cases are very rare unless of course the man in question is a "gbewudani" hence the reasons why the issue of fidelity is more important to the ladies because they stood on the loosing side.

Nevertheless, am not implying that men should not be faithful, at least they should be faithful for righteousness sake.

I was bewildered after watching this video on you tube.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw3uAqT2iQE



If this is really true then am afraid for our generation, cuz the set of ladies that are prevailing now may not be sincere. Little wonder why many marriages collapse due to infidelity which usually occurs as a result of the insatiable nature of the ladies in areas like se.x, finance etc. Am really so sad cuz it's pathetic to think that our future wives may not be loyal.

Judging from the comments of those ladies in the vidoes then am afraid.
