Good day ,hope this email finds you well.
I 400 level student of UNN humbly request to apply for an internship I find this a company a good fit for me to Start my career in Data science

I possess the following skills :
Remove data from a SQL database
Basic knowledge of web dev
Basic knowledge of key Machine learning Algorithms
Proficient in python,pandas and Jupyter notebooks,Vscode

Pierohandsome:
I didn't pay a dime ,I did mine last 2weeks ago in Ph here in one of the MTN offices.

I got my permanent id card immediately

where pls

Reussite:
How was that Spurs goal given? It's an offside for Christ sake ....very wrong call.

nah

Opistorincos:
I am using the newly released nokia 5.3 and I can authoritatively tell you that I'm facing charging issues. My phone refused to charge yesterday. When it eventually charged this morning. It took 5 hours for the phone to charge from 0% - 100%. Nokia killed this phone with the absence of fast charge. They really need to learn a thing or two from xiaomi. Redmi note 9 of the same price trumps this my nokia in every segment.

wow was planning to buy that

ElRapido:
What phone do you use? You are one of those easily fooled by the number games of these manufacturers.

Meanwhile, OP I use Pixel 4a. I can assure you that you won't regret getting it. But I can't say anything about Poco X3. But I think the online reviews about it are good.

where did you get it and for how much

AndreSalvatore:
when its available in Nigeria

when will that be

AndreSalvatore:
Google's new release, the Pixel 4a which happens to be in the range of the speculated iphone SE is quite a charm to behold... Am planning on getting either of the two. So which do you guys suggest..

pixel 4a no cap
where do you plan on getting it from

I need pixel 4a anyone pls where can i get it in Nigeria and price in Port Harcourt

Fatbabyfart:
Pixel 4a is your best option

Regular updates for 3 years plus(some device will forget u after a year)
Best camera ( pixel >>> iPhone)
Sleek design and moderate size (unless you're buying to watch movies)
Fast and reliable snapdragon processor (better than SAMMY exynos abi Exodus)
No stupid ads (redmi get am A1)
Clean Android OS
Fast and reliable charging (Nokia users won't understand this point)

Las Las, pixel Baba of Android.

Sad it doesn't support wireless charging.

4a it is price is what range

Millennialaku:
since you are capable of buying a pixel 4a why not add up and get the iphone xr

there's not much difference in aesthetics between midrange phones of giant companies like samsung, nokia etc and crappy phones like tecno, infinix and itel because they copy them back to back(i mean tecno and infinix etc)

you could be using your expensive pixel 4a or samsung m21s and someone would think you are using one of those transsion crap i mentioned above, because of their similar design.....unless you dont care

Similar design whave you seen 4a and xr it ios and low ass barttrey for a higher price

Karleb:
Why and how is Naomi so loved on NL?

Dont know sef

Redpanter1:
Do you know Oppo and Xiaomi are amongst the top 5 biggest phone brands in the world?

They are basically same company and which phone did i mention thats not a big brand

skywalker240:
The pixel 4a is your best bet

thanks bit am borthered abput the battrey and is it out in nigeria

Dominiqueismad:
you have already failed yourself by saying you don't trust redmi

People have thier choices redmi doesnt get basics pf a phone for good phone user

Hey peeps am tryimg get a new phone and it had come down between pixel 4a , samsung m21s, nokia 5.3
There redmi note 9 but i dont trust it please no redmi or all those oppo brands

Sirwallace:
python is huge no doubt, but from first hand experience in a big corporate organization, python is as useless there as I mention.

business intelligences provided by Power BI and DAX in excel has rendered it useless.

for big Data and scientific data analysis, Oython can make sway there with TensorFlow, pandas and the likes.

Both are from differrent purposes then but pythpn is more flexible in terms of wrangling cleaning wait and every thing

Sirwallace:
when people talk down on excel, I laugh in swahili.

how many Nigerian graduates, especially those ill educated youth corpers can use power pivot, power query, and write DAX formula and create Dashboard in excel? I believe some people are hearing all of this for the first time.

excel is the first choice for analysing data in corporate organization due to its flexibility and user interface friendliness.


Ad power BI to that excel and you can render big programming language like python useless in handling data analysis

I guess you dont know python from what your saying

boscho:
I guess d Op only heard about those tools, he may not even know how to use them . 2 days sef u can't use to get numpy basics completely. Even if u think u know d theoretical part very well, another thing is do u know how to implement those algo in codes ?. I'm sure Data Analysis he can't do yet not to talk of Data Science.

I think Mr Op wants to trend. You tried bro, but ur market no sell again �

nah people will read and no you guys are saying shit hyping basic concepts

SirJerrie:
Been following this thread for about a month now(this is like my first time to comment innit though)...

So far I've been on Python... Ion know how grounded I need to be, so I'm taking my time.
Hopefully, by August I should move to Excel. Then pandas... Or Sql... Or Machine learning...

@Ejiod...Thank you very much for creating this thread... This is like a club for lovers of this career path(like myself)..
And thanks to everyone that has contributed to the growth of this thread so far...

i suggest you move now dont learn tools first learn the work start an end to end project from analysis to stat to modelling to deployment on a web app

nwele2017:
you are the same guy who said data science is over hyped and you still don't know the importance of Excel over pandas at least at the most basic level of data analysis!
I would have loved to enlighten you but seeing that you learnt everything about data science in two days makes me doubt if it will worth it to waste my time doing so.
learning what took people 4-6 six months to learn even with strong maths background within two days means two things: you are not being truthful to yourself or you are a genius.
if the latter is true then there is no need wasting my time teaching you what you can excel can do better than pandas at the most basic level, you can figure it out easily.
Just for the fun, I will like to see the projects you done so far

how did you know well i want to know no one knows all am just saying its not as had as mastering javascipt

nwele2017:
knowing the tools doesn't make one data analyst
There are more in data analysis than knowing the tools used, nobody will pay for just knowing the tools used for data analysis but you will be paid for using these tools to get results needed for everyday business.understanding how to find patterns out raw data, understanding a business problem that needs to be solved with the data you have, visualizing the result and communicating the result to stake holders so appropriate descion will be made is not what you will learn in two days unless you don't want to be honest with yourself and want continue to lieing to yourself then I will allow you to wallow in ignorance.

thats what am saying

nwele2017:
people like shinning things with big names rather than the basic. I use to be a victim of this way of reasoning but recently, I found that there is very much I can do with excel than with pandas. I spent so much learning pandas but, the little time and effort I spent learning excel made me my data analysis job very easy than I could have imagined.
pandas is very good to learn, it makes your data analysis work easy but, overlooking excel as a data analysis tool is very bad because there is much which excel can do that Pandas can not do.

like what

Zabiboy:

You did not answer my question properly..
Data science is broad....You can't say you started data science in general 20 days ago....
Which tool or software did you start with?

i started learning about it in general not tools

donproject:
Have you done Machine learning, Deep learning, Artificial intelligent, Big data analytics.
2 days you say, you must be a comedian. Even learning ordinary Numpy by heart takes a lot of efforts...you have pandas, matplotlib viz seaborn, plotly, power bi. Don't let me even mention tools for ML. Have you learnt art of web scrapping.

Can you do simple analysis if I give you raw data? Sit down there and be deceiving yourself. Something that some people spend reasonable amount of years getting accustomed to, you claimed you've seen it all in 2 days.

Can you even define data science to start with? If I tear you slap ehn.

you just sayings tools do you know how to use
2 years maybe they are not from math background
numpy haha just math in python that is fast
tools for ml jeez web scraping is just like picking what ypu want from a dirty store javascript in entirety is harder than looking at something a figuring something

ibromodzi:
Quick question Can you tell us what you've learnt in those two days?

a little compared to other feilds

nwele2017:
what have you been learning over the past two days?
I am very sure that what you have been learning is how to build machine learning model with out even understanding what you are doing, maybe you built a simple regression machine learning model to predict price or a logistic model to predict customers rentention and you think that's all in data science.
Can you spool out data from SQL?
do you know the difference between Categorical and numerical data?
can you clean a messy data?
can you do data exploration ETA to gain insight from data before building model?
can you do data munging?
can you do data scraping?
can you communicate and visualiz data findings?
do you know bi tools (Tabulea,power bi)
do you know Visualization tools like Matplotlib,seborn,ploty
do you know excel?
do you know python or R?
do you know statistical analysis?
do you know pandas?
do you know numpy?
do you know scipy?
do you know beautifulSoup or scraper?
do you know statsmodels?
do you know....am tired
My brother, if you can't calm down and learn data science through step by step process you better leave and do something else with your time....data science is not all about building machine learning model. Real world data are too messy and need to be cleaned,explored, before building any sort of machine learning model on it.
Even the machine learning model you feel is to easy to build is not easy without good knowledge of statistics and mathematics. machine learning models need to be fine tuned to produce an accurate result

Data science is not all about machine learning, Data science encompasses data analysis, business intelligence,data analytics, machine learning, data mining,deep learning even artificial intelligence is considered as part of data science.
I don't even know why am disturbing myself you are just 17 years old, you are still growing and very soon you will know that data science is not all about cramming models

hmm i know all those apart from power bi
all you said are just tools the main aim of what you doing is pretty much basic clean data remove irrelevant data
webscraping getting things from html automatically
staticstics basic analysis all basic things big data just tools spark and the rest just in 2 days just don't overate smth if you don't know it in depth
if you did you know they are just fancy names

ibromodzi:
Quick question Can you tell us what you've learnt in those two days?

i have learnt its like any other job

Zabiboy:
What did you start 20 days ago?? Re-phrase your question

no answer

well i feel data science is hard than web dev but its easier than learning JavaScript off heart what i mean is started data science 2 days a go and it doesn't meet the hype sometimes i think is this what ill be paid to do

festwiz:
Check out Nokia 6.3 or Mi A3... they're both Android One devices.

this is what i would go for xaimo not really
