GboyegaD:
My only concern is the absence of anti thrust. The guy is killing competition in every industry he gets into.

How ?

Besides his refinery (not producing yet), mention any of the industries where he plays and is the single player.

The man has influence though, but he sell no product you can't buy else where. If he gives better than the competition , good for us.

ifytrik:
Nigerians are the most brilliant people in the whole world, just that some bad ones use their gift of wisdom to do the wrong things. May God continue to bless this man and every other Nigerian making us proud outside Nigeria in JS N

We are Certainly NOT the most brilliant people in the world.

Are there brilliant Nigerians? Sure?
Are there exceptional Nigerians?. Certainly.
Sadly though, The average Nigerian lacks Integrity and is Incompetent (little long term thinking).

I find myself guilty of this many times.

Congratulations to the Professor.

INSTANTCASH345:
The figures are just guess work.

Weldon bloggers for bringing up new lies.

I don't know if these exact figures are guessed but the Compensation of Public Companies Top Management aren't much of a secret. Some can be found in their annual reports.

EngineerBode:
If Ronaldo was still in Laliga, Messi won't be scoring only 22 goals. He would have been motivated to score more. Now, he is just relaxed

Maybe.

EngineerBode:
Ronaldo will finish with 30+ goals

With all the noise they are making about spanish league, someone is topping the league with mere 22 goals. You did not add german and french league

In Ronaldo's 9 year stint in Laliga, He won the Pichichi 3 times vs Messi's 5.

Messi was also the European Golden boot winner for the last 2 Seasons and he's from Laliga.

Ronaldo's great though. No Spite.

tesppidd:
Actually in 5 penalty competitions for Argentina, Messi only missed once.

Copa America 2012.
World Cup 2014.
Copa America 2015.
Copa America 2016.
Copa America 2019.

His only miss was at Copa 2015.

You're Off. The year was 2016.

obonujoker:
Well deserved, superbly taken penalties

If penalties were easy someone would not be trolled about international trophy till this day

Moreover Ronaldo for SerieA golden boot and European golden boot

Not true though.
Messi scorung his penalty was no guarantee for Argentina winning the COPA in 2016.

CR7 missed his 2008 UCL Final penalty but still won the trophy.

Also you conveniently forgot the 2015 COPA when he alone converted his penalty and other team mates missed theirs, Argentina still lost.

Even though special players abound, Football is still a team sport.

Ihatemumu:
The last ten years has helps Spanish teams because their fixtures doesn't stress them as much as English teams,
Example


Chelsea vs Tottenham
Man utd vs Chelsea
Barcelona vs Chelsea
Man City vs Chelsea FA Cho
Chelsea vs Barcelona

Vs

Barcelona vs Madrid
Sevilla vs Barcelona
Barcelona vs Chelsea
Real betis vs Barcelona
Chelsea vs Barcelona

Note: RONALDO never scored more than 33 goals in England, but was scoring 50+ goals every season due to the type of team's in that leadue.


When Chelsea face Barcelona, Barcelona players are more prepared cause they don't need to use their full strength theam for other fixtures unlike Chelsea.

Also during that period, Barcelona was referred to as Uefalona for some reason we all know and cannot denial.

Thank God the power has switched to England (I tip Mancity or PSG to win this year champion league)

Obviously you're Conjecturing.
What is "Full Strength"?

When Watford won Liverpool early this year, did Liverpool not play with "Full Strength"?

Premier league teams are good but they aren't steadily at the level of Barca & Madrid that's what I mean.

The best Footballers have come from Outside the premier league on many occasions too.

Ihatemumu:
La liga
Madrid
Barcelona
..
..
..

Or

Barcelona
Madrid
..

No real competition in the league

In the last 10+ years, they also dominated the UCL and Europa leagues too (with Sevilla/Athletico) are those leagues too not competitive?

acgodson20:
He resigned from Geometric power to become a minister. The federal government under OBJ had signed clause that would allow geometric power the
first biddingrightss if the Eastern sector was privatized in future. Goodluck's government renegaded on that and used it against him.

When the prior clause was signed, was it also envisaged that he (An Owner of a bidding firm) would be in government in future?

The Prof (A brilliant man in all respects) Should know better that Conflict of interest allegation is as good as Culpability is there is a single merit to it.

Consequently, he should never have been a part of government if he intended to play in the emerging private sector of that industry. There's no other way to it.
In the realm of Public Opinion he could not have been seen to be a Judge in his case.

SLAP44:
We all witnessed it. The people benefitting from the sleaze in the power sector made it impossible for him to turn PHCN around.

That May be true.

However, he was alleged to have had an interest in one of the bidding firms in the Federal government Privatization Scheme. If that's true, was that right?

omenka:
True. But he comes nowhere close to Dominic Straus Kahn.

How?

Dominic Strauss Kahn was an alleged (Legally) Sexual Offender who had many of the cases against him struck out as flawed.

He certainly is no saint though but the Comparison is baseless.

DSK without the sexual scandal is a brilliant Economic expert & Professor with an enviable career going for him.

What's HP's known for besides this allegation.

EliteBiz:
If you don't know, if you are not aware, if you lack knowledge, listen now!!!

The words that come out of your mouth is powerful (even what you text about yourself is powerful). Always speak blessings to yourself, if someone speaks curse to you, counter it with blessings from your mouth.

This is not religion, This is reality. Humans are spiritual being covered with physical suit(flesh/body). We are living in a generation with a very low knowledge of that which matters most, The Spiritual realm. The spiritual realm (what you cant see) controls the physical realm (what u see).

Your thoughts, imaginations, words of your mouth and everything you do with your body is not just for fun.
Shalom.

RIP to the dead

You are mincing words.

There's No Spirituality without the Supernatural AKA religion.

…
I want to believe you were joking asking that question. But if you weren't joking by that asking that question, then I'm speechless.

I certainly wasn't.

Hans Leibherr wasn't an Engineer. The tenacity/Craftsmanship he's demonstrated (even though his Companies now employ Engineers) predates his Engineering "Qualifications".

crownedrookie:
I mean to stay in Nigeria for at least the next 3-5 years bettering my craft.
The online degree programme is what my boss suggested and the company will be footing the bill that has already been discussed.
I was asking for a structured YouTube CS playlist I can be using for now

Better go the Edx route.

YouTubers typically have their Niches.
Since CS syllabus is a Nexus between Maths, Statistics and a Plethora of Problem solving techniques for Computing you are better served by Edx which was developed by some universities themselves.

golddare:
I think you should also look at why the CS major student are not making "waves" so that the road side guys can feel inferior or close their mouth.

Answer is "jack of all trade master of none" . You will observe that you were taught every bit of everything during undergraduate, you major in one aspect during postgraduate and so on. However, the road side guy had major in that tiny aspect for the 6-7years you have spent trying to know everything. You will agree with me you cant beat him or her in that tiny field and the only way to beat them is take them round all your courses but who cares.
I did MSSC 2006 at NIIT and was shocked the guru asked us to go and meet those road side guys if we actually want to be very good. This is the same reason a Prof in Mech Engine cannot stand the a good road side mechanic. It's not pride, they are good and it's the law of specialization but they dont have the right to disparage the CS major students and I will encourage any CS students to start going to the road side guys right from 100L to begin their journey into specialization, dont wait till PhD, in the world of CS school can be overrated.

Your take on Specialization is spot on. Totally agree. There's only so much the human mind is capable of excelling in at once.

However, you don't have to go to the "Road Side" guys for anything.

Inaccessibility to information made us to believe so but not anymore.

There are books /Videos and Courses on probably any Practical Technology under the sun on the internet today.

You just need the time /focus and motivation to scour and read/understand them. Forums too.

crownedrookie:
I'm self taught and recognize the need to get a CS degree. Planning to, even discussed it with my boss and he gave me some good options for it. Has to be from abroad though, I'd rather do a memory wipe and learn again than get a Nigerian CS degree.
For now any one with knowledge of where I can find a structured playlist of CS classes from reputable institutions on YouTube should do well to let me know.
Searches like UC Berkeley Webcast and CS 10 - The Beauty and Joy of Computing give answers but rather scattered and random

Do you already have a BSc.
If you do an in a quantitative field you could go for an Informatics degree (MSc.) In Europe.

Otherwise Western Governor University has an Online Computer Science Degree Programme .

It's quite expensive though.

techmo:
To programme is a different thing, and to design a software is a very complex thing that you learn through C.S

I laugh at dunce who learnt a programming language and felt they have arrived lol, Computer scientists write the so called programming language for you and it's compilers, they write low level programmes , machine language and programme most appliances software


.

You are mostly right.
However, the question then becomes, Were the Individual (s) who developed the Original foundations of what is the Current Computer Science Syllabus themselves Computer Scientists?

If they were, It's hard to say that there wasn't a Large element of Heuristics involved.

ayoola27:
pls is the jetbrains working in ur browser...

I tried following up the lesson but it keeps telling me I'm offline...

I'm using operamini

Try Runestonecademy. It's an interactive, textbookstyle programming course.

SegFault:
There is nothing wrong in being self taught, I am tutoring myself in multiple cs courses like OS development, Internet architecture, linear algebra, physics (for the sake of gameplay programming) and System Architecture (this is very good for programmers and CS students in order to spit out code that makes optimising compilers look like dumbos). I want to also continue on Calculus (edx tutors make this stuff seem like cake, shame on Nigerian lecturers and teachers) and some others. It just depends on how you see yourself, some see it as some stupid achievement that makes them smart like Tesla while I see it as a necessity. Even college students should do it.

True.

But you are an exception. The reality is that the Nigerian educational system hardly allows for in-depth perfection of the craft while balancing theories (and succeeding academically). Matter of fact, most Lecturers are theory heads(Not bad, but limiting).

Again in the industry in Nigeria, there's little funding/encouragement for long term thinking and investment in advanced Compute technologies.

I am totally against pride & Prestige (from the self taught Community) but for those underestimating the self taught, The question to them is, Were the individual(s) who drew up the First Engineering Syllabus Engineers?

Education and Standardization of Knowledge with Certifications is to establish base level knowledge. Those who are extremely talented in aptitude don't have to "go to school" beyond a certain level. They make their path.

Kylekent59:
Is there a kind of girls you would advise a guy not to marry??

When those girls don't marry, who would take care of them when they get older??

All courses are good. Nairaland wouldn't be responsible for the scarcity of students in a departement /faculty.

You know that one doesn't need to Marry to have a Care taker at Old age.

Matter of fact, Your Partner's life or Support at Old age is not guaranteed.

Skyfaze001:
The truth must be told, Insurgency in Nigeria is pure business, I work with Nigerian Army then I got to the root of it.. don’t be surprise COVID-19 is another business.

I don't know of your Insurgency claims but COVID 19 is not a Business. I get that Conspiracy theorists are right sometimes, they don't have to have the answers always.

Prove to me for instance, that the total amount of Aids/Contribution earnings from COVID-19 situation by the government would surpass this year's Projected lost tax earnings/Oil revenues & Other Aids/donations(i.e. aids unrelated to COV-19) to the same government.

In essence, give your conspiracies some substance.

Cheers.

CYBERWEAVER:
He's not supposed to make such video as a trained military personnel.
...
..... God go help am

You're right. But you haven't walked in his shoes. You haven't had men die by your side in battle (I assume), when you know much could have been done.

God help us.

Ikennamurphy:
He sure knew he would be arrested...why is he saying he's from middle belt and not north..is middle belt not North Central Nigeria again?

Is it "North Central". But the Middle belt is only North when anybody using the label wants them to be otherwise they're not.

haryothosyn93:
He should have known that he can't escape it. He will be silent and the issue and the video will never be remember again.

He's not just coming into the system, this is army affairs not Airforce or Navy where you can do and undo. You don't just wake up and do something in Army.

I just pity his family and relatives because they won't see him no more! Since you have been commissioned into the system, he should have known that there are things you don't just go to the public especially the civilians world to say as a personnel or officer.


We all know the system is faulty and corrupt but we can't change it because the Mighties are there!

What has he said that's not public knowledge?

His Courage (some would say foolishness) is quite interesting though. But I suppose a man who takes a rifle and heads into the Northern forrests in search of amorphous terrorist has to be courageous.

Dwaynestefan:
He said Screenguard N1,500
Waybill to Benin N1,500.

Omo... I can't buy just Screenguard for N3,000.

The god's of my village might strike me down.

Hello pls do you have any idea about who to buy new/used Xiaomi or Huawei phones from here on Nairaland in Lagos ? kindly share.
Thanks.

FuckTheWorld:
Don't believe everything you see online.

Posted by CHUKWUEBUKA.... Ipob...
We know the motives.

The same Johannesburg slum I know?
Let their fake pictures be deceiving you.

Go to Alexandra, Gauteng and Soweto, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!

I know Nigerian leaders are complete failures but South Africa is no better than Nigeria in anyway.

You're joking right? "in anyway".

For starters, What Nigerian university is at the standard of The University of Stellenbosch?

Companies like Naspers (SA) rank amongst the most valuable entities on the continent.

cooooooks:
We should normalise childlessness and adoption.

I don't know enough about in vitro fertilization, can doctors please expand on the ethics of in vitro?

Very hard for many Nigerians.

It's hard to separate a marriage from child rearing here.

Some don't even believe that marriage is not primarily for child bearing. Ask them if a childless couple who are still compatible are a failed couple, some would believe they are.

socialmediaman:
And Bayelsa resources remain looted, majority of youths remain undereducated, and the community remains underdeveloped!

Your position about "Majority" of the Bayelsan youth being undereducated is spot on.
However, this can be said about virtually all Nigerian states. In fact the absolute number of uneducated youths in the state could be far less than a lot of other states — absolute though.

I think the Excessive glorification & Monetisation of Politics is the primary bane of the poor state of education in the state. Most Bayelsans see the government/politics as their only means for survival.

God help us.

Jabhunter:
it's possible to do so but the OP left out any hint as to what he does...
It is possible to make that much through Yahoo too

Carefully calculated PM hunting trap, to scam gullibles that would come to his DM.. He's ignoring all the mentions asking what business it is

You are right. Your fears about him being a scammer could also be perfect. BUT there are many legitimately-earning Nigerians who would NOT be willing to explain their online business details too.

The reality is that we all truly fear competition. But some take it a step further by "hiding" clues from others for fear of being outdone.

Cheers.

mulerogold:
Keep deceiving yourself with this your FAKE story.

Whether or not the story is fake may not be the issue.

The issue seems to be that you can't accommodate the possibility (at all) for people to earn $800 online averagely a month.

If you really think it's impossible to earn this amount legally a month then you're totally unaware of the "gig" economy.

N.B. I don't earn that online. I also don't have any online business BUT I am very sure it's possible to do so.
