In about four weeks, i would be a qualified economist too.......
Please congratulate me in advance fellow board members

Congratulations bro. Did you decide yet on whether to do an MSc or a PhD directly?

Stycon:
Hello guys, it feels good to be here ; in the arena where beautiful minds mingle.

I tried getting textbooks on computational Economics and introduction to Computable General Equilibrium model, but am yet to lay my hand on one. I will greatly appreciate it if I find anyone here with any of these textbooks(e-book preferably). Thanks.

The best book I have used on CGE modelling is Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium by Mary Burfisher. Look for dis book if you can, I will try to find an e-copy and let you knw if I do. Cheers

BrosPeter:

Tobby500:
Pls wat ar d chances of any economics graduate with 2.2 hons??

If a 2:1 is still possible, please go for it (it gives an advantage in the job market simply by making you eligible for most graduate entry aptitude tests). If not, success in life is still very possible; might just require a little more work.

Also, if you are interested in postgraduate education, with a 2:2, you MAY be required to undergo a PG diploma, before you can start a masters in many schools, local and international. Having said that though, many people have risen from those circumstances, and even 3rd class to become very very successful.
Goodluck.

Can you imagine, he claims to be a fan but does not know that Kit Harington is NOT allowed to take pictures in UK by his HBO contract.
His character is supposed to be dead, so noone was supposed to know he had joined the cast for filming season 6 (to avoid suggesting a spoiler that the character is not really dead).
This has been reported widely in the news, and he has explained times without number to numerous fans why he is not allowed to take pictures.

Hi bro. What course did you do, what university, and what was your graduating grade? Also, what is your location?

You need to read about Dysgeusia. It is not life threatening, but it could lead to something else that would be if not treated, so go check with your doctor.

PS, too much salt in one's diet could lead to increased blood pressure and higher risk of heart disease or stroke. Cheers.

...And this was the foundation, the genesis, the humble beginnings of change.

Xbabangida:
And you think you are making sense from the bolded?

Why not say what doesn't make sense about it like a normal person, so we can discuss it. Boko haram have been hiding out in Sambisa forest and other places. They obviously won't risk coming out for verification and the army would be casing all the local registration points, thus their mobile communications are disrupted.

And as I told someone else before, if they were going to steal people's lines, they would have to reveal themselves on a raid, reach a large number of registered people, steal their phones and then figure out how to let people in the secret cells know everyone's new numbers. This is an inconvenience at worst. Please support the Nigerian government and the military in this fight. Tenks.

Why not get your SIM registered properly so you don't get disconnected. This registration thing has been on for a very long time.

Ugosample:
is it true that without a PhD, you cannot be really called economist?

In my opinion, a first degree in economics qualifies one to be addressed as an economist, because this is what you are.

ECOTERRORS:
how can you a BH member? BH will steal peoples phone and use it for their operation.

But all the already existing ones they are using now will have to be abandoned. This is a clean slate. Furthermore, there is a considerable logistic challenge in coordinating any new stolen numbers among the terror network. Every little bit helps in the fight.

This is fantastic news I must say. Now Boko Haram will have to go to MTN office and take their picture if they want to make call. Excellent move by Mr President, the security team and the NCC. The real purpose of the SIM registration is now being put to use. I love it.

mikolo80:
There's a law/decree dude

Please educate me. Is this a law in the constitution, or from military regime? Does it supersede the constitutional right to freedom of movement? If such a law exists, can its legality be challenged in a court?
I think this is the OP's point, and I am tempted to agree.
Why should government restrict my movement in the guise of "sanitation". It is never done anywhere else in the world.

nurd:
Is it advisableIs it advisable to do an M.sc in Economics after a B.sc in Economics?

Yes of course, that is the natural next step. M.A after B.A and M.Sc after B.Sc

Depending, as previously stated, on what your objectives are. An M.A after B.Sc is not advisable if a phd could be somewhere in the future.

Why you asking funny questions here? Soon you will ask me how do I join Pastor Chris church.

Parties have this thing called secretariat, in probably every ward. Go to your ward secretariat, register, pay all your dues as at when due and begin to attend political meetings. When a call is made for party members, ensure you show up and begin to form contacts and networks with the bigger boy politicians in your area.

From there, the sky is your limit. But make sure you join the right party o, cos if you join APGA for sokoto, na you sabi.

barcanista:
SaTANists are the most foolish people on earth. What kind of a cheap concocted bull crap be posted by a living thing just to nail Buhari? Op you need to tell your paymaster that this cheap blackmail doesn't hold water. For the record, General Muhammadu Buhari was in UK in 2013 where he addressed the British parliament. He is a respected gentleman worldwide, and by the grace of God, he's our next President.

#Change 2015

So you had sense like this before? Wow, what happened to you?

dplordx:
Even a f00l would predict Jonathan's failure.
Why are you ppl now complaining. Werent you the same ppl who voted this d0lt?
At least, I cast my vote for a man with balls, but thanks to the majority of m0r0ns called Nigerians, this failure is still my HOS

So strange that right from the start, the disaster of the administration was predicted by many right thinking Nigerians. Hmm...

Good game, but super hard. The boss is unpassable because the monsters would have chop your life till one quarter.

symbianDON:
believe this and you will believe anything! vice chancellors of universities earn 1.8m monthly.......so how does it make sense that they earn more than the president??

The 1.8 is with allowances asper CONTISS. This here is president's base salary.

hush15:
and you think that amount to trillions of nairas as claimed by some APC spud that are out to totally destroy the man? all because the want power?

Excuse me? Please don't quote me to talk nonsense next time. Did I say anything about trillions? Mumu

You better show respect. He is still the president and wont be former president until May 29th.

Having said that, some company CEOs earn more salary than Jonathan. Where he would be killing it would be in allowances and gifts.

Check out the president-elect's view on subsidy below.

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmG_dYY7YRA

His position is that subsidy should not even be there in the first place and it is a pure fraud since we have 4 refineries in our country already which should satisfy domestic demand. If we did have to import, it should be on a simple fee agreement and not some phantom 'subsidy' that runs into trillions.

That means this is not the first time na. They have been doing it before and getting paid until social media burst this one wide open.

Very wicked people.

I must also commend our Nigerian Police Force for their efficiency and efforts in this case (also for the little 'mending' they gave her).

Oga, if they close all these companies, you know how many people will be jobless? Tis because you dont know anyone working with MTN or Shoprite that's why you ranting like fish.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
The removal of kerosene Subsidy by Yar'dua's regime was null and void hence there was no Kerosene Subsidy Scam rather the timidity and illegality of Yar'dua's Kerosene policy regime.

There was never a time in Nigeria history where Yar'dua made a broadcast to effect the removal of Kerosene subsidy nor was there any official gazette transmitted to NNPC and DPPRA to effect the change according to the Law

Writing a policy statement on a piece of paper and transmitting same to CBN when every known procedure was not followed makes the policy null and void

Oga, what are you saying? When last did you buy kerosene at the 50 Naira subsidy rate, since you say subsidy was not removed?

Many mumu Nigerians dey o, suffering and smiling.

First of all, this guy needs to know that there is a difference between ceremonial and moral laws. The New Testament abrogated the "ceremonial laws" such as having to go to a physical temple, offer incense, burn sacrifices, wash as ablution, etc etc. But the moral laws of God are eternal; a good example is the Ten Commandments.

In that chapter of Leviticus, where God stated perverse and condemned sexual relationships, these would also fall under God's moral laws. For example, the same chapter that says homosexuality is an abomination, also states the following as abominations:

Don't have sex with your mother
Don't have sex with your sister (whether same mother or step-sister)
Don't have sex with your aunt or uncle
Don't have sex with your brother's wife
Don't have sex with your neighbour's wife
Don't have sex with an animal
etc etc

At what stage would we now say all these "laws" have been abolished? Is it now right to have sex with animals, because the law was put in the old testament?

Secondly and more importantly, in the new testament, the particular aspects of homosexuality have been re-emphasised probably because God saw that this would still be an issue in the future, even as it was in ancient times.

Now we have a law of love, where one must only have sexual relations with his/her wife/husband. So tell me, how do you know you are a homosexual if you obey God and not have pre-marital sex? And don't tell me you just feel attracted to men. The truth is 99.9% of people calling themselves gay are in extra-marital relationships.

Next, this is what the new testament says:
Roman 1:26-27
Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches (The Message)

Also check: 1 Cor 6:9-11 and 1 Tim 1:8-11

So the Word of God is clear and it stands foerever. He who has ears let him hear.

Reptyle:
Wow!

Did she even pause for a minute to think that there were some women of northern origin in the crowd or standing next to her on the podium?

Really bad!

My bro, you are right.

Just one more day for change to come. We all can't wait.

Fourwinds:
