My believe is that Maths at primary and secondary school levels are applicable/usable in everyday lives, but advance maths like Topology, Abstract Algebra, ODE, Complex Analysis, Real Analysis etc, are jargons meant for academic entertainment.

I don't think that this is accurate. ODEs come up in physical modeling. PDEs in stochastic calculus (used in finance), in physics, engineering.

Abstract algebra. . .  well, the Chinese Remainder Theorem, Fermat's little theorem comes up in the RSA algorithm (used pretty much any time you go to a https:// website), buy something online with your credit card, etc.

Real analysis is pretty much generalized and more rigorous calculus, so of course is used all the time to justify that things work.

Complex analysis. . . well, the Fourier Transform is the foundation of most of digital signal processing techniques. So obviously is very important. .  .(anytime you listen to something on youtube, view a JPEG image online, etc.)

Topology, I am less familiar with its real-world use, but I am sure that it is also has some practical applications.

Most of them seem fairly pleased.

Then again, given the performance of the governors who preceded him, it makes sense that they are happy with someone competent.

I love math personally.

I personally don't care. If the people want to re-elect an under-performer with 90%+ of their vote, that is up to them.

More power to 'em.

Everyone bears the consequences of decisions they make. . . won't affect me at all.

Interesting article.

Nigeria faces a lot of challenges, and I don't think it is very likely to survive all of them.

Pretty interesting.

Anyone know how much electricity one can generate from the 1000 tons he mentions?

LAGOS — Lagos State Government has concluded plans to commence the first phase of its Landfill Gas Recovery and Utilisation project, that will ensure steady electricity supply to residents of the state in the next few months.

The state government said the first phase of the project, which consists of pre-engineering design, would be completed in the next 18 months.

Managing Director of Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, Mr.Oladimeji Oresanya, made this known at a one-day stakeholders meeting on Landfill Gas Recovery and Utilisation Project, Abule-Egba, Solous and  Olusosun Landfills (Clean Development Mechanism) at Simpson Transfer Loading Station, Lagos Island.

The meeting was organised by the Ministry of Environment, LAWMA; United Environmental Programme, UNEP;  African Carbon Asset Development, ACAD and Standard Bank.

Oresanya said: “We are taking waste management to the next level, to the down stream sector. We are going to build 20 transfers loading centres across the state. Each site is capable of generating 1,000 tones of waste and the gas would be used to generate energy, which would be destributed to the communities.

“LAWMA is in the process of implementing Phase 1 of the project under Consultancy Contract. Phase 1 comprises a pre-engineering design which commenced in February 2012  and would completed within 12  to18 months.”

naija elections. . . very funny things.

In other places, when someone isn't performing they get tossed out.

In Nigeria, they win with 90,11% of the votes.

Why would Christians be bombing their own church?

this story smells

The problem with Beaf's mentality is that he assumes that everyone is a parasite like him.

Not everyone is like you, waiting for oil money to rain upon them.

Others with my mentality can survive and prosper (and are prospering) even without receiving a penny of oil money in their entire life.

God has blessed everyone with something of value.

He did not bless my town or family with oil wealth. However I have received as my patrimony something quite useful in the modern world, which I am currently exploiting to the fullest.

Let those who were blessed with oil also have the same opportunity.

At some point you actually have to present solid reasoning and logic, rather than calling someone who literally has not received any benefits from Nigeria's oil wealth in his life a parasite.

shouting "egbon mi, razists", "ethnic bigotry", and all the other stuff you do is no substitute for a sharp argument.

How on earth can I be reasonably called by any sane human being a parasite?

Lmao

Crazy negro

I hope you mean some sort of figurative ekt_bear rather than the literal person. . . . .

Otherwise, you are highly demented.

The problem is that some of these people, their imagination is very limited.

For them, without oil, nothing else can move forward.

Guys like ndu_chucks and beaf, both really are the same.

Ndu_chucks opposes the weakening of the FG, because this is the only way the North can continue to suck from the oil-producing teat of the Niger Delta.

Beaf wants the FG weakened, but the oil to be controlled by states, but not by the people whose land the oil actually comes from.

Both of the above individuals are seeking to reap where they did not sow.

Two sides of the same evil and conniving coin.

Neither man has any principle but to keep his figurative belly fully.

Let there be full resource control.

Let the Ilajes turn Ilaje LGA into Dubai.

Let the Itsekiris turn their LGAs into Saudi Arabia.

Let the Igbo, Ijaw, Edo, Akwa Ibom and all other oil producing communities in Nigeria benefit from the rich blessing that God has decided to give to them.

Secretary Olayemi Saanumi in Delta state  

Some ppl just wan claim or attache by force

Control the resources found in your community, Lets eliminate parasites at all levels

+1

Why are you so shameless, Beaf? A man with zero principles. You want resources to be controlled, but NOT by the communities which actually produce said resources!

Hypocrisy, long tooth and greed.


Parasitism must be eliminated at all levels.

No to parasitic federal government.

No to parasitic states.

Resource control at the community level.

Bwahahaha

Haha

The fear of God has struck Beaf, as he realizes the full consequences of demanding resource control

There is a strong case for boundary adjustment between Ondo and Delta, yes.

I will trade you our Ijaws for your Itsekiris

That is a trade I'd make every day, and twice on Sundays

The FG interest in the oil must be transferred to each of the relevant communities, as soon as possible.

It can then be up to them to decide to do with said resources, whether they want to share it with others or not.

To conclude, on resource control I stand.

For all we know, Beaf comes from a LGA that produces minuscule amounts of oil.

Yet he and a man from Asaba side (which has zero natural resource) will be claiming, "OUR Niger Delta oil", blahblahblah

Hehe

Always nice to see inconsistencies in this resource-control argument.

Pray tell, which Ijaw areas in Ondo produce oil?

Kindly elaborate and tell us Does it amount to even 5% of Ondo's production?

The amount of oil produced by Ondo that is in Ijaw land is minuscule.

The reason why Beaf wants "resource control for STATES" but not for "ETHNIC COMMUNITIES or LGAs" is because in his own state, there is a golden goose that lays all the eggs, and he wants to continue eating their eggs

Anyway, I am in full support of resource control. . .  so long as the resources are controlled by ethnic communities and LGAs.

Individual in my opinion is kind of murky.

Especially in an African setting. . .

I think bringing things down to the level of community/town/lga should be sufficient, since those are pretty reasonably well-defined entities.

I don't mind this idea of the ownership of natural resources being owned by the people.

But if that is the case, then one must apply the principle to its logical conclusion. . . you cannot simply stop at saying, "this oil doesn't belong to the FG, it belongs to State X." Especially when State X is multi-ethnic, and the lion's share of the oil in that state is produced by one ethnic group.

Instead you must say that it belongs to such and such group of Y LGA.

And by that reasoning, as I stated earlier, any potential disputes over oil wells are purely between the relevant ethnic groups in Ondo/Delta, namely Ilaje Yoruba and Itsekiri, respectively.

As I said, I don't particularly have a problem with this.

If in some future Yoruba Republic, 90% of the oil wealth of Ondo is spent by Ilaje LGA and they turn this LGA into Dubai, more power to them. I have no problems personally moving down there. . . nor should anyway else in Yorubaland (we are about the same size as NY State, so not that big.)

wow

I cannot recommend this FAQ highly enough.

You go through it, come across things you don't understand/concepts you've never heard of, google and then it makes sense. Or if it doesn't make sense, write it down for looking at later.

A much more efficient use of time than reading a C++ book from scratch, 90% of which will be stuff you know or have seen before.

Another really useful thing I found is SWIG: http://www.swig.org/

You can use as a tool to write tests for your C++ in whatever scripting language you like (ruby, python, whatever).

Which is even cooler than this Google testing framework, in my opinion.

lame

up abacha, up ibb, up buhari.

Up idi amin.

Up all african dictators, past and present

I salute you.

Good point, Koruji.

Ultimately, most of the oil in Delta is in Itsekiriland.

And certainly any oil wells in contention between Ondo and Delta are really between Ilaje and/or Ese-Odo LGAs and Itsekiriland.

So it is only with them that any potential dispute might exist.

However, I trust that we can settle any such disputes amicably.

Hmm, insensitive of me too to get distracted by this guy's agenda.

RIP to the dead.

Not really sure I agree with him

I am not replying to please them. But to have it out there for the record, so that everyone knows what is up.

I generally don't like to see misinformation spread unchallenged. . . my "job" is to correct it.
