Too many grammatical errors Ahneeka!

NAIRALAND HAS FALLEN


SO this is news?!!!!

Well SAID Sir!

Legend! RIP Sir and Happy Posthumous birthday!

Love the Buhari intro

SHILOH 2017!!! A NEW DAWN!!!

Touching

FRONT PAGE OOOO

TSTV thinks that we are ignorant fools.... nope, They are the fools. They are trying to beam some matches from Beinsport who are the official broadcasters of Premiership,Ligue 1,La liga, et al to Middle east and North Africa, illegally to Nigeria, whose rights is already under Supersports.
Just for quick one. simply go to premierleague.com and click on the matches for this weekend, it would show the official broadcaster of those matches in your region and Beinsports isn't one of them cos Nigeria is not in North Africa.

TSTV, Please stop all this lies about hacking. Beinsport have detected that their signals are being broadcaster illegally and that's why that message pops up on the screen.

You are absolutely right! We need to do things legally in this country. Enough is enough of wayo wayo lifestyle.

HALLOWEEN is DEMONIC.

HIGHLY DEMONIC!

People are just celebrating a festival they do not understand, all in the name of fun!

The devil's grip on the world is getting tighter by the day.

Now Nigerians have caught-on with the craze...no thanks to Hollywood brainwashing.

Happy Birthday Legend! RIP

look at their rings and pose

Africa

Rest in peace Timi. I grew up listening to you in Warri. You're an ICON.

I still remember how you expertly covered the Atlanta 1996 Olympics u23 men's football in DBS Warri and your celebration after we beat Argentina. Rest on Sir.

Arsenal fans join me in laughing at Liverpool! Hahahaha

all I see in Nigeria is tribe.. religion and where one is from.. no true substance of human existence.. uchu

Short, deep and wise comment.

Except for some few typos...nice submission.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.



We need to speed-up research and find a cure to this deadly disease. The Europeans, Asians and Americans will not do the dirty work for us.

It's high time we take responsibility!

A meeting of Northerners not Nigerians.

Can this girl actually DJ?

Vincent Enyeama Pictured With Super Eagles Legends

This is what I called greatness unfolded in one picture. Former Super Eagles Captain and Goalkeeper who is likely to be recalled into the Super Eagles squad, Vincent Enyeama has shared a picture that shows him and other Nigerian Football Legends together.

From right: Ike Shorunmu, Mutiu Adepoju, Augustine Eguavon, Vincent Enyeama, Kanu Nwankwo, Jay Jay Okocha…

…You can help with the identity of the last person by dropping his name in the comment section below.

They served their country well

The name Escoba speaks a lot about what he probably does for a living.

Exciton:
Many of the guys forming Naija patriots have no goddamn idea what it takes to be a scientist or to be a high tech inventor. Modern science HEAVILY requires money.

Let me break it down:

So, you have a great idea or a hypothesis that's testable. First you need to make samples, then you characterize your samples, obtain data, analyse, draw conclusions. If successful, you make some breakthrough.

Economics 101 of Modern Experimental Science:

Stage 1: Make samples: In modern science, most need grade III clean rooms which runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars, film making equipment from simple thermal evaporators to MBEs equipped with expemsive in-situ xterisation tools like RHEED, mass spectrometer, ion gauges etc which runs into millions of dollars. And of course, many of these equipment run under UHV environment which requires TMPs, Cryo pumps, Ion pumps, etc. All together stage 1 is in millions of dollars of investment.

Stage 2: Xterisation: Most standard materials characterisation centers in the world have XRD, SEM, HRTEM, ARPES, SQUID, SIMS... the list is almost endless. A cold emission gun TEM is more than a million dollars. Many of these equipment are easily $500k per piece. You also need service contracts for each of them!

That's exactly why scientists apply for grants well into the million dollar regime.

Now, let's to back to Oshiorenoya, who I've known his story for almost 2 years now, I remember he did his 1st PhD in Optical Microscopy, can't remember his second. A simple Google search will show you the state of the art equipment necessary to do research in such field. None of the universities in Naija have these equipment. Even if they wanted it, they can't afford it.

To state it bluntly, if Oshiorenoya stayed in Naija, his dreams would be dead and gone. If you stay in Naija, it doesn't matter how smart you are, how quickly you read Cohen-Tannoudji's 2 Volume tome on non-relativistic quantum mechanics, you will never have access to the equipment, services and funding necessary for you to make it.

It's a fucking fact!

Our government has basically condemned every person whose dream is to become a scientist, a high tech engineer, etc etc to broken people who have no choice but to hustle around, doing sh!T jobs that's beneath their skill set, all because they have no interest in funding quality education.

In good societies, 25 year olds are making breakthroughs in the field of quantum optics, information theory, etc etc. Some Chinese guy who's less than 40 lead a team that smashed the record for longest distance of beaming quantum entangled photons, paving way for un-hackable communication.

While our youth rot away. The next generation would most definitely go the same way... and the next.

Lesson: if you love your STEM inclined child, fight for his future! Fight for good education in this country. Else, your children's dreams would suffer the same date as yours!

Well said Sir

BlackAfrican:
The famous Muslim cleric and a principal figure in the Tijjaniyya sect, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi has called on the federal government not to give the Igbo’s the biafra nation, rather sit them on the same table along other ethnic nationalities to chart ways out for the economic prospect and peaceful coexistence of a united Nigeria.

Knowing full well that 95% will not read the full article but just the headline, why do we wickedly and deliberately choose to sensationalize a news piece by giving it a misleading headline? This country wrecks of evil.

Well Said

Nigerians are awesome. A young Lagos-born entrepreneur-but-now in California is extending the boundaries of impossibilities. Oshiorenoya Agabi runs Koniku which operates at the intersection of biotechnology and electronics. According to an entry in Crunchbase, the startup proclaims thus:

Koniku is the world’s first Neurocomputation company. We start with a premise that the human brain is the most powerful computer ever devised. We show that capturing that computational power is an engineering problem. Koniku proceeds to meet that challenge with clear solutions.

With his startup Koniku, Oshiorenoya Agabi is working to integrate biological neurons and silicon computer chips, to build computers that can think like humans can. Faster, cleverer computer chips are key to solving the next big batch of computing problems, like particle detection or sophisticated climate modeling — and to get there, we need to move beyond the limitations of silicon, Agabi believes. Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Agabi is now based in the SF Bay Area, where he and his lab mates are working on the puzzle of connecting silicon to biological systems.

“Koniku eventually aims to build a device that is capable of thinking in the biological sense, like a human being. We think we can do this in the next two to five years.” — Oshiorenoya Agabi

Agabi had raised $250,000 in seed funding. He did that in Sept 2015. He followed with another $1.4 million in venture funds last August. He is hoping to be in the markets with his chips later this year (87 days from today, exactly).

According to Vice, “Koniku, which completed a stint at the biotech accelerator IndieBio, touts itself as “the first and only company on the planet building chips with biological neurons.” Rather than simply mimic brain function with chips, Agabi hopes to flip the script and borrow the actual material of human brains to create the chips. He’s integrating lab-grown neurons onto computer chips in an effort to make them much more powerful than their standard silicon forebears”.

IGBO and Hausa guy collabo

Make una forget, Nigeria na ONE.

After all the gragra between ipob, the north and SW, nothing go still happen.

We shall still find ourselves living in the same geographical space called NIGERIA.

Lets think deeply on how to solve our common problems as HUMAN BEINGS first and lets put aside all these tribal and religious sentiments that only leads to DESTRUCTION.

ONE LOVE.

Pls help us carry out ur order using maximum force we need all Biafrans back home

Where will you put them? What is home exactly?
