Musa is a complete team player and has always gone for the right decisions with his cut backs, the quality of his final passes should be what we question.

But for a guy that has 85 caps at 26 and has been a regular for the Country since 2010, one cannot question his commitment, even though the quality let’s him down a bit.

Btw, we’ve gat Chukwueze.

26! Jésù. And he's been an Eagle for 9 years at 26 years?! No wonder "Super" has left our Eagus

Please how much will I get if I invest 1 million in Nigeria treasury bill?

Not much... Chat me let me show you how you can LEGALLY earn 900k on top of your 1m by January 2020. You'd earn ₦150k monthly for 6 months and have your ₦1m back at the end of the 6 months

Singapore1:
we use the word "hacker" loosely in Nigeria.

As innnnn! This one that is using unsecure USSD that banks are peddling is now a hacker? Its an insult to call this one a hacker

Nostradamus:
so the amount on the international scene,that $100k is only meant for experienced staff(with something like 5/6 years)?? That's okay.

U like question o!

So Trainees then become Officers and then Senior Officers so on and so on all the way. Training is for like three years then if space dey (big IF) then u become Officer with added gbemu

Nostradamus:
is the figure net or gross?

Nostradamus:
you tried boss.but I noticed(From the links you posted)NLNG pay here in Nigeria is lower than what it's suppose to be.i mean, #1.6m per month isn't up to $100k.abi NLNG directors are playing minimum wage with staff salaries ni?

₦1.6m is for trainee

hysteriabox:

Noted, thanks.
Freelance please.
U interested?

Provide more insight on what you require.

It's Database not Data Based. Is this an employee role or a freelance role. What Database Server will be in use?

Its good to have money.
You'd school anywhere you want and achieve things at a young age

And Cyprus is "anywhere"? And not even the UN recognised Cyprus o, its TRNC a backwater of Turkey. Graduates from TRNC can't even work in Turkey

If nobi crayfish wey ben na Turkish Cypriots suppose to dey run come here. We run to TRNC while their citizens look down on TRNC education and run to Turkey or UK

Nigerians are complaining about the policies of a president they elected? Abeg. We can't vote a bigot and then complain he's a bigot.
If people from South don't want grazing, they should either: stop eating cows, or start ranching.

The recent noise from Rivers: "we don't have room for grazing."
Oh... so you want to eat cow meat, but don't want to use part of your land to raise the food you will eat?

Very interesting perspective about Rivers. Fully support the idea that if they want to consume beef they need to use part of their territory to grow it.

Would be nice if this is spread to all facets of our economy. For example those that want to consume the returns from crude oil should mine it from part of their territory.

We consume corned beef in Nigeria. From beef grown in Brazil. Brazilians need to demand for territory in Nigeria where they can raise the cattle used for corned beef consumed in Nigeria.

HolyGhostGym:


It sounds credible but from what I gathered from someone's past experience. The total recruitment in itself takes patience and true dedication.. I mean *8months of patience although this was some years ago.

What I would suggest is go about your business normally and prepare as best you can.

Is 8 months long for a recruitment?

I've been in a 4 year recruitment. From advert to resumption was exactly 4 years

Flipmac:

Thanks.
But I'm from bayelsa though so I don't speak yoruba. Do you think language would be a barrier?

From Bayelsa u should be comfortable with water. Go to Bonny Island. Uninterrupted power supply from NLNG to the community. They even announce when there'd be a power cut.

Little negros. Moforkas pained their published ass is outed. Making it trend

Wanksta can't get of my mention. Lol. Pained publisho

BrutalyHandsom:


My brother, a trend is an 'action' or 'new behavior' in vogue. It is usually learnt

Its not applicable here

Need I say more. Later "they" wee say "they" are published.

In Nigeria of today, a school is teaching future software engineers to build software using the highly faulted procedural method! I know Fortran was the king in the procedural age but the op is using Lazarus ,a modern Fortran(or is Pascal) ide. The new language is object oriented.
This is simple task for toy examples, but for something that looks like a real world app-though trivial- u have to design it properly to handle more scenarios.
The better paradigm for designing software is pop,hence I showed him how to go about it.
E.g what if the software will b used by some1 else? What if student carries over a course etc

What about code reuse and not repeating oneself? This require using mechanisms like encapsulation,inheritance etc. it seems overkill but I thought that was d level op is at

Well you have highlighted features that would be nice-to-have. However this is a class assignment with a very specific requirement. Normally after these kind of question the teacher can give "harder" ones for extra mark where you have to cater for the variables you have highlighted.

The first aim for this assignment is to get it to calculate a GP first before adding the complexities that are available in real life.

POP? Please what paradigm is this? First time I'm hearing of it

Eze2000:



Congratulations on suppressing my least source of income by a thousand times!

The problem with you is you are too proud hence you talk too damn much and reason even less. You can shove your posts up your ass. if you please.

Imagine that my least source of income is trumping your least by a thousand. Then what damage would my top source do to yours? You must have a short memory to call me proud. Who started mentioning wage calling me a minimum wage earner? Then I give you insights on what resources I command that you silly baby becomes emotional calling me proud? Bro get several chairs and seat your church rat arse

stanliwise:
procedural language dead ke! you're being affected by news flash. I wouldn't argue that topic with you. I agree and adovcate that recently languages shoulf be taught, the idea that fortran is easy isn't a winning argument anymore because with the help of heavy documentation of new language I believe it will make it easier for students. So personally I prefer the use of new languages in school. With PHP documentation I believe it will be easier than learning BASIC language modern era.

Like you, I also support the use of modern programming languages from the the very beginning. The mindset of learn an "easy" language before learning say Java is very counter intuitive and counter productive.

However, I never said that procedural languages are dead. I said the procedural programming paradigm is comatose bordering on death. Most programming today is done using OOP at least. Procedural programming is mainly used for niche situations.

Nice ideas you have shared on this thread

stanliwise:
Fortran is a recommended language all over the world o. BASIC and FORTRAN has been accepted as teaching standard for programming because of it nice and structural nature, living out abstractions and complexity to professional languages. Another language is pascal due to it clean syntax. Don't misinform us here. Read the last revision of educational curriculum. I studied computer science Education. so this is my job.

All these languages are outdated bro. Very outdated. The least language anyone should be learning these days is Java. Procedural Programming is comatose and perhaps dead even (probably only used in niche situations). Every computer science graduate today should be programming using OOP. If you want a standard global CS curriculum as developed by the association of computing machinery (ACM), I can share the link here for you to read. You will be surprised how outdated our local curriculum is. Many of our computer science grads cannot do Big O calculations neither do they understand OS concepts of deadlock and all. Even ordinary BCNF normalisation of database tables a lot don't know

asalimpo:

i know but so are lisp nd ada.
But this isnt d reason it's still on the school curriculum. It's there because the curriculum is outdated. Hod is lazy nd lecturer is lazy. Theyre all dull nd behind d times. Teach languages tht will help them get their career off,later,if they want to,they can pick up obscure/niche languages.
A friend was thought pascal/fortran (cant remember clearly) during his programme in the early 2000s!

Yes Pascal was in the early 2000s. And I agree that the curriculum may be outdated. But I don't believe the problem solving that is involved in this is outdated. What the teacher is teaching here is the problem solving and algorithm development technique. If the OP can develop his own algorithm to solve the problem, it's irrelevant if the final product is in Pascal, Basic, Assembly or Java. All those languages are just a means of expressing the solution. The most important thing is the developed solution.

Na wa o! Someone is asking for a simple program in pascal that is a procedural language and someone ias advising him to use OOP in another Language.

Reminds me of the joke were some one who was preparing for an exam in Christian Religious studies was faced with the question "Discuss the life of Jesus Christ". Having studied in detail the life of Apostle Paul, the candidate answered thus

"Who am I to discuss about the life of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! I'd rather discuss about his servant, the Apostle Paul" and he went on a tirade yanning of point.

OP this is actually a simple task. Every Course in university has a "credit" rating (usually between 1 and 4). Also every letter grade has a grade point. For example "A" might have a grade point of 5, B a grade point of 4 all the way to F with a grade point of zero. So to calculate Semester GPA you multiply each course credit rating by the grade point. So if a course has 3 credits and someone scored B in it the grade point will be 3(credit)x4(grade point) to give a grade point of 12. You do this for all courses then add the calculated grade point and divide by the sum of all the credits of the courses. For CGPA you do the same for all courses from year 1 till date.

So for HND 1 Semester 1, you need to list out all the courses, their credits and whatever grade the person scored and calculate the Semester grade point. For Semester 2 you calculate the semester GPA and the cumulative GPA
See the following page for sample. They will need to be modified to suit your needs

LMAO!!!

You are very funny. So you think all the books I have online are just the ones I posted and all combined are just $2.99 or you think I write with only one name?

Those are ebooks in the fiction genre and series all, thats their average price. They are the lowest of the pack. Just 100 units of sales a month for only one book and i am past you minimum wage salary even without paperback version coming into play.

As we dey efight here I still dey sell overseas

You no know anything.

Kwontine

Lol... Go through my posts again. And you'd see that even a thousand copies of your 2.99 isn't anywhere near my monthly income

List out the grades and the points for each grade. Also list out the courses by semester for HND I and HND II

Eze2000:


Do you see how stupid you are? I haven't done an ad, written a story or sold a book on this forum in 3 years. Check the dates on my posts mumu. Naija no dey read and no money anywhere so I don't sell in Naija anymore and, yes, my books are cheap, not expensive. Just $2.99 will get you a copy of quite a number of them, though some are higher but not much. Cheapness is key to more sales and publicity. I even do free giveaways sometimes.

And hey, I don't give a shit if you sell fake edu software or app. Don't care if you are the one looking for a programming job or you're entirely jobless.

Dey there dey kill yourself with minimum wage make I dey make my dollars small small. E dey always big before month end .. Lol

Lol! 2.99 dollars u go sell till you die before you make money. I asked u for proof that I sell software. Pity your ₦750 book selling app wey u wan use hammer. U better go and do money ritual like all of you across the Niger do. Or better still go hawk Gala. U go make pass that 2.99 wey dey deceive you. Or even better dey "dayvaylope" with una Well known commodity. Nuff said.

Eze2000:


Like say you and your papa get money pass me wey you dey quote me with your gutter mouth this Sunday morning. "thred" fire you there and all the yeye program you dey sell for NL. People dey drop reasonable comment for better trend rat come dey answer present too.

Lol! Pain am! Hahaha. Show me were I sell one program. Make I show u were u dey sell your cheap ass publications. Literary section "shampion"

Bigcowhorn:



See mumu still calling a trend a "thread". A series of posts are called what? "Posts"? Or is it that you don't see this particularly series of posts is trending? Abi na threading?
Your mumu don cast.

A thread (sometimes called a topic) is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: Options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view (a tree-like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order) can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post (common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster), which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

Wikipedia is your friend!

Eze2000:


Knowledge is paramount, sir, but stupidity and a lack of civility like you possess are optional qualities in people. As long as it gives you satisfaction nothing else matters.


High light my errors or shut up.

Thank you

See someone insulting asking for civility! "trend" kee u there. Those your ₦500 books na hin give you dirty mouth to dey call yourself "I am a published author". Animals wey get horn dey do meeting snail sef follow dey come out

Eze2000:


Do you see how many likes you have up there on that post which reeks of ignorance? It is one reason I stopped writing stuff on Nairaland. With an illiteracy level of over 180 million people (graduates included), Nigerians still don't read. We believe in cheating in exams and insulting people with genuine knowledge and a willingness to help. For one thing, look at the president you elected and the chaos of a country that his next level.

Permit me to educate you a little bit, but you do not have to read it all, mind you. Let's begin with your own English errors.


1. For one to beginning a sentence, a paragraph, in particular, the way you have done without a determiner might be acceptable to you or those who liked your post, even many Nigerians, but guess what? That is horrible!

Your sentence should begin thus: A published author and you......


2. You are clearly blind in both eyes or you would never have made the statement below...

I'm sure you'd also call "I'm" am.

You see, in that comment of mine you quoted, I actually used the "correct" and "complete" form of the phase you have indicated and I repeat "I am a published author!" *(Check out the screenshot of your own quote below)
I rarely write American English on NL or use its version of the phrase in question here, which many consider an abbreviation (I'm). I do not know how to use the Nigerian foul English version of the phrase either (am). Most often than not, I use the correct queen's English version (I am)


3. Now let's take on the particular word that you feel discredits me entirely as an author...

And you call a thread a "trend"?


What is wrong with you, my good friend, is that you have been on Nairaland for too long and here, very few speak good English, and most of them hardly ever comment. Here, over a million people like you have been calling developing comment lines a thread, but guess what? Over a million people like you are horribly wrong!!!


Thread
You see a "thread" is that fine rope your mother used to use and your tailor currently uses to sew your clothes. However, a "thread" can also be defined as the simplest or smallest sequence of programmed instructions executable by a completer.


Trend
On the other hand, the Standard English dictionary defines a "trend" thus...
1. A general direction in which something is developing or changing.
2. A fashion.

Now, here is my problem. As a published author and intellectual with a vast knowledge base, I am well aware that there are two official versions of the English Language which can actually contradict each other in certain cases so I never trust the Standard English dictionary completely. In fact, I have four massive dictionaries on my PC alone, that's apart from the attached encyclopedias, mind you. So now let's see what my beloved Cambridge Advanced Learners dictionary and the Encarta Dictionaries have to say...

Combining their definition of "Trend" with respect to the subject...

*(of a topic) be the subject of many posts on a social media website or application within a short period of time.



Ahhhhhhh... now the sh*it has hit the fan, as my American cousin would say. Now you know why they say a photo, a comment or something, is trending on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and not "threading" like you would say here on Nairaland. You've actually learned something new here today, haven't you?


It would seem that in ignorance, you have called me out and insulted me too for a load of rubbish. I forgive you despite that fact that you have already gotten 3 likes on your comment! They are just illiterates liking you in their own ignorance so I am not bothered at all.




One more thing...


Some of the best authors in the world speak bad English. Ever heard of James Hardley Chase? He speaks American street English better, hence, the tone of his books, all of which have been bestsellers for decades!
What truly makes an author is his talent, something that cannot be taught in any school or institution.

I am a legend over in the Literature section of this forum and my first book, Ruthless Betrayals, when first published here in April 2016 as a first draft, was so full of errors, but guess what? It drove women and men crazy and still does today, two editions later. Don't take my word for it, check out the "trend". The story has been moved to my website but the comments are still there.

I sold that book for #500 per copy initially, then increased the price to #750 per copy and people still bought it then came back to thank me!!! It's all there in the trend (remember not thread). Hit the link below.

https://www.nairaland.com/2941054/ruthless-betrayals-story-love-betrayals




The thing is when an author first writes a book it is never published right away but passed on to an "EDITOR or put through an editing software" for polishing! That first work of the author is called a first draft which is normally full of errors, after the touch of an editor, those errors vanish and that first draft becomes the original manuscript which is then published as a book. We authors and writers are the reasons why editors have jobs.




Mr. Airsaylongcon, stop insulting people even where they are ignorant or err. Correct them and be polite about it. I swear to God, you will not die if you do things that way.


I bid you a good Sunday, sir.

See mumu! Still calling a thread a trend. There's a clear difference between both. On Social Media they are called posts not trends. A trend is when something becomes a fad (or goes viral). Meanwhile Mr "I am a published author" your personal advert is littered with grammatical errors. I'm sorry for those that "went crazy" reading your crap. Comparing your self to James Hadley Chase. Lol. You aren't just an error prone writer, you also suffer from grand delusion!

Jaqenhghar:

Name one Niggerian company that will pay that amount.

Haba! Loads of Nigerian companies pay in excess of this

alexola20:

Still 9ja market.
One price for Peter and another price for Paul.

In this part of the world that I live everything is measured with a price tag and same price for all.

You said it all. Size the customer and give him a price. They argue that its to prevent the competitors from undercutting them. I ask, how do all the major ecommerce platforms display their prices without fear of competition? Silly business folks. If they aren't trying to over price themselves they would readily share pricing

Gandollaar:
Noted. It is work in progress. Some things like price info were intentionally left out.

If you want me to tell you more about the brands you are interested in, email me.

Nonsense Nigerian mentality of leaving price out so you can over-price and hopefully negotiate.
