If you intend getting your hands dirty with tools like Power BI don’t try it on a PC with just 4GB or 8GB of RAM—it’ll frustrate you  . Because the tool Power BI Desktop is resource-intensive. I’d strongly recommend going for a PC with at least 16GB of RAM. Before I got my HP ZBook 3 . I actually got it for video editing. I used an HP ProBook with 8GB of RAM. Every time I tried running Power BI on the ProBook, it was fond of getting Into freeze mode. But now with my ZBook 3, using Power BI desktop has been hassle-free  .For context, my ZBook 3 comes with a 4GB internal graphics card. |

I want to use this opportunity to apologize for every vulgar words I have used here on XXXogba in the course of our argument(you are not ok upstairs, kid). If I went out of line in the process I am very sorry. As at this point now my priority is getting my Azure subscription and preparing for my Azure exams. Peace  |

I'm a lady from Enugu and by maternal affinity from Rivers State. Yes I would carry the Unity message as a badge of honor. Ogba is Igbo and there is nothing you can do about it. You can shout from today till tomorrow Chatgpt and Wikipedia won't listen to you. The last assignment I gave you shebi chatgpt told you the truth and you ran back here affirming what I said. If it pains you that much you can start writing academic papers to disprove your folktales which I know no globally recognized language, archaeological or history journal would accept because it has to be peer reviewed haha... I told you are playing into my hands I am using the attention you are giving me to educate as many of us who have fallen to the lies of false Identity of ethnic group XXXOGBA: |

What we are doing is working. Your children would grow up to hear about the Igbo unity campaign. They would challenge the age long legends and folktales you have fed them with. If you like try and give your children english names and not Ogba names you here? like Chukwuladi and Chukwumela. They would still grow up to ask you why their street has Igbo sounding names. It has worked on my mother who is a military retiree and a key member of the military legion in ONELGA. Oh, Is it paining you that my mother who is an Ogba woman agrees she is Igbo? Infact you have to protect your children and grandchildren from the influence of social media because they would be influenced by Igbo unity campaign We will continue to fight for Igbo unity, a unity the Federal Government tried to destroy. Continue to play defence you here, the walls that separate Southern Igbos from the South East is gradually collapsing before our very eyes. We will continue in our offensive. Poco a poco, it will be achieved in the fullness of time. XXXOGBA: 1 Like |

My mother is an Ogba woman who is proud of her Igbo identity. She was even part of the landlords’ committee that led negotiations and received compensation from the company operating an oil rig on our street. The Igbo unity campaign is working—it worked on her, and it’s working on other Southern Igbos as well. She has grown fond of reprimanding my sister in-law who is Ukwani that claims she isn't Igbo(haha...) Just like how China is aggressively pursuing the One China policy. They succeeded in reclaiming Hong Kong from the British, despite the fact that most Hong Kongnese detest the Chinese. Did their hatred stop China? Of course not (lol). In the future, China will reclaim Taiwan too (If Nigeria tries to recognize Thailand as an Independent state they would get into the black book of the Chinese. John Ceena tried it by mistake and the Chinese Government forced him to issue an apology and he did. Lol his fast and furious movie has to sell he knows where his bread is buttered ). You’ve fallen for my bait. My argument with you has kept this thread active, and now anyone searching for information about Ogba or Omoku will stumble on this thread. You’ve failed to present any substantial or educative arguments while I’ve succeeded in riling you up. Here’s another assignment for you: go and convince ChatGPT that Ogba isn’t Igbo (haha.. ). ChatGPT uses data from the internet and infers judgments from it, so good luck trying to change that. Your frustration only proves one thing—the Igbo unity campaign is working, and neither you nor I can stop it. And by the way, I’m a lady. I bet it frustrates you that a woman with Omoku genetics has had her foot on your neck for this long. Continue with the tantrums; I enjoy it XXXOGBA: |

Yes, Omoku can shout to the heavens that they aren’t Igbo, but all evidence points against it. My mother’s exposure from serving in the military, traveling across the country, the influence of the Igbo unity campaign made her to admit that she is Igbo. You can throw insults all you want, but the Igbo unity campaign is working. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be here in this thread getting riled up and throwing tantrums. Just like the Anglicized Hong Kongnese who cursed at the Chinese all they wanted, but did that stop China from reclaiming Hong Kong when their treaty with the British expired? My mother, who is from Omoku, understands that in the grand scheme of things, Omoku will only choose where they see the most advantage (she knows her people well "anywhere belle face,” lol).

I have a vivid mental picture of the kind of person this hater is. He probably had his primary/secondary/University (that's of he went to the university) or he studied at federal college of education Omoku. This kind of people don't travel. I know them well. All there life everything they do revolve around Rivers State. Nothing wrong is seeking unity between two estranged brothers China still does that to Taiwan till this day good a thing they were able to reclaim Hong Kong not too long ago. The only person that detest unity and reconciliation between brothers is the devil himself. |

I would choke you with the truth. I'm maternally linked to Omoku/Ogba. My mother who is an Omoku indigene has overtime understood that she is also Igbo. The Igbo unity message is spreading and spreading like wild fire One thing about the truth is that no matter how you try to bury it one day it would come to light. I was in St Michael when the Eze Ogba came for Nchaka hours Thanksgiving and he was like he has to be careful of that kind of song he sings before people in social media starts accusing him that he is singing Igbo Songs. Lol he still went ahead to sing it The truth would always prevail XXXOGBA: |

Kid I am not a guy, I'm a lady you are deflecting because you have no ethical prove to to show that Omoku and snt Igbo. My mother is an Omoku indigene and that makes me affiliated to Omoku Look bro if you are in the Academia I would urge you to write a paper to prove the unigboness of Omoku. Try and submit your work toa reputable journal for peer review and see if your work would get published. I would continue to rub the truth in your face. If you aren't comfortable with the truth I know you would get frustrated by throwing insults XXXOGBA: 1 Like |

You are very ignorant bro I am aware of the legend that has it that some igbos were planning to takeover Ogba land by killing the Ogba indigene they were all civil war propaganda. I am an half Omoku indigene and I presently reside here. Whatsoever issues Omoku had with the South East igbos does not erase the genetics Ogba shared with the general Igbo nation There was another false story of how Ojukwu was trying to steal Omoku Oil(lol). My mom told me during the war when they ran away from Omoku she saw with her very eyes how oil from the ground was piping out from the ground due to build up of pressure of which the Biafran soldiers were using to power there vehicles. I can only take you serious if you present your arguments with ethical facts but until then trying to throw lies on the wall with the hope that it sticks is not going to work at least not on my watch XXXOGBA: |

Mr. man, it's obvious something is wrong with you upstairs. My mom is an Ogba woman currently living in Omoku, and she secretly admits there’s no difference between the Ogba people and the South East Igbos. She served in the military for 35 years, constantly on transfer, so she’s experienced a lot of cultures firsthand. Mind you, I am paternally from Enugu and spent my childhood there, just like my mom. My mother experienced the Biafran war firsthand. After narrowly escaping the Lagos massacre of Igbos, she and my grandma fled to Omoku. From her stories, it’s clear Omoku was strongly pro-Biafra—they never invited the Federal forces, unlike the Ikweres. She told me how the Federal forces entered Omoku from Ahoada, and everyone ran for their lives. My mom also shared how one of our family members who fought on the Biafran side sustained serious injuries during the war. She often tells me about Ojukwu and how he commanded the Biafran forces that stopped the Federal troops at Uguta from getting close to the artillery range in Uli. people created songs about it. As children, they would sing those songs.she still sings the song to us The Oba only adopted an anti-Igbo stance to escape political persecution. Before the war, Omoku and the South East Igbos were one and the same. Even today, my mom reprimands my sister-in-law, who is Ukwani from Delta State, whenever she claims she isn’t Igbo. XXXOGBA: |

Since working relationship with my boss started getting edgy how to create video contents became my focus. The plan is to post short 5 minutes video about the things I know about data on LinkedIn for a start. To my greatest surprise this was not as easy as I had hoped. Since I wanted to use Davinci Resolve to learn how to edit my own videos. My PC couldn’t even open the software. I then figured I needed to get a gpu PC of Nvidia graphics card. I got a second hand hp Zbook 3 and thankfully Davinci Resolve works with the PC. I was able to get it through a third party for 610,000 naira. Because I wanted the cinematic appeal to my vidoes I knew my camera and lightning had to be lit👌. Three lightining system would be used( key, fill and back light) . as at this point I have ordered the lightning system and microphone with noise cancellation from Jumia. The overall cost of the items cost me about 220,000 naira. Initially I shared the idea with my boss of the need to create video content on Linkedin and he agreed to take up 50 percent of the cost. I was really surprised that he backed out down the line( I believe things happen for reasons we may not be able to understand). What's left as this point is procuring an Iphone and turning my room into a workspace sutiable for shootimg videos(my boss did put that idea in my head though). I am still scratching my head trying to figure out how to hide my big bed furniture from the camera😭. I am trusting God for an Iphone 13 though🙏 I believe from the depth of my heart that I have a lot to share and talk about and the attention and respect as a data practitioner I have always craved for would come.

Around the same time, my boss asked me to figure out how to do failover clustering on a hyper V cluster( still haven’t figured it out till this day) I was in the process of learning advanced DBA by Raphael Asgar which talks about High availability solutions like log shipping, mirroring and failover clustering(I did implement logshipping though). At this point my boss began to give me headsup that my time was up. It was at this point I decided to focus in creating video contents to talk about the things I know about data when it comes to DBA, data science, data governance, analytics and data engineering. With the help of my boss I got a side gig of teaching someone DBA online. Funny thing is I have never really seen DBA as a role in my arsenal but since the task was urgent I had to doit. I was amazed I was able to teach DBA. One thing that amazed me was that I was able to pull knowledge from what I learnt in my course of learning data engineering. Another factor that really helped me as well was that my sql skill is really rock solid. I still teach this person till this day though, because the client loved how hands on I was and wanted the class to continue. 2 Likes |

Since I began to get really comfortable with Azure and ADF, thoughts of the DP-203 exam started to come to my head. For the exam, I learnt Microsoft puts a big emphasis on Azure Synapse. Funny enough, Synapse doesn’t have the same street cred as Snowflake or Databricks, yet about 60% of the exam comes from Synapse. After my findings from Reddit I got the course by Alan Rodriguez’s from Udemy. One thing I like about Udemy courses is that their courses are usually niched down which you may not find in some instances with YouTube. Alan course did help a lot. Especially with figuring out how to connect to blobs and data lake to through SAS, connection string, managed identities, and RBAC. Although when it comes to the granularity of the permissions and access the YouTuber 'Tybul on Azure' did a lot of justice to the topic. Tybul gave a good breakdown on how to use Azure storage explorer and Access Control List to enforce granular connections starting from the hierarchy of container down to the file. Tybul’s teaching is a bit slow-paced so you have to be patient to get a grasp of what he is trying to say. What stood out for me in Alan's course is that he did justice to topics on data security. I learnt how to connect blobs and data like safely to DataBricks without connection string by using app registration in Azure AD and storing the App credentials in Key Vault. I did find out the Key Vault access policy can be used to grant Databricks permission to the credentials as a principal because the RBAC doesn't work The DP-203 exam covers so much ground that it wouldn't be wise to rely on a single source of resource. You also need to be aware of dp203 course outline which you can get from Microsoft learn There’s still plenty in DP-203 I haven’t mentioned, but these resources I mentioned has been of great help. I booked my DP-203 exam in July at Pearson Vue in Port Harcourt, but there has been distractions here and there. Each time I reschedule my exam the lady that booked me for the exam would charge me for rescheduling fee 😎

I learnt the essentials of Azure Data Factory such as how to make dynamic, reusable pipelines that load multiple SQL Server tables to Azure Data Lake using parameters, ForEach, and Lookup activity I also figured out how to load multiple CSVs from Blob to Azure SQL, with each file loading to separate tables based on the filename. I found the course on Udemy by Ramesh Retnesamy( Azure Data Factory- Covid 19 project ) incredibly helpful. Infact I was switching between YouTube and Udemy so as to get a deeper understanding of the topic Ramesh didn't explain well and I found the YouTuber 'Wafastudies' does a have a good break down of activities in ADF. Although I am yet to finish the CI/CD section of Ramesh course(knowledge no dey finish) 😁 |

It’s been a while since I updated this thread. I have gone through so many highs and lows since I created this thread. my growth and progress has come with some sweat and tears. But my boss then was really supportive. He compensated me then even when my work didn’t immediately pay off. His support enabled allowed me to get deep into Azure’s ETL tools like Azure Data Factory (ADF). 1 Like |
