Dont mention me without reading the sourses, cant argue without Facts and sources.
And come to your second part, People in this continent are paralyzed by bad Politicians? who Elects them?Aliens?

All these so called productive continent you re calling, all have a supportive government.
If ideas were supported by the government, or even give the people what they need to develop and build. We would have gone far by now.

That is why i am starting to loose interest in Nairaland, Too many fake things without any source and fact check.
This guy made a car in 1997 ,and It was five year before India? In 1974 India had tested its Nuclear weapons so it was not able to make car?? You guys are funny.

In 1942 to 1945 There were atleast 3 Big Car manufacturer in India (Industrial level , unlike this garage guy you are referring in 1997).
They were rolling cars since 40s and 50s.

Btw dont compare us with anyone , we are most unproductive people of this planet, we just develops corrupt politicians and greed.

Finialy no be 2 answer rationalhuman mean say u go dey rational
Your argument is not rational at all.
They produced atomic bomb doesn't mean that they can produce a car.
That car you are blabbing about wasn't produced by an Indian maybe he produced it in India.
At least to be the first indigenous car ever produced in Africa is something.
I may not be a fan of the Nigerian society as a whole but never say that Nigerians are the most unproductive people. Maybe u are unproductive and surrounded by unproductive people. But Nigerians are the most creative and productive people.
We are just paralyzed by bad government. And we always keep on trying to break through.

Good evening my Ogas. I have issues with my VS code. The "Go live" icon initially didn't appear on my status but soon did...Now, clicking the Go live button does nothing!!...I believe it should be the code that is affecting its normal functioning... I did not expect it to be this difficult to set up VS code since the set up for Bracket was seamless...Hence, I would greatly appreciate if you assist with valuable insights on appropriate settings...I checked online but there's limited answers and the little I saw is not explicit enough...You can also screenshot your settings..Anyway to assist....

P.S I uninstalled and reinstalled but still same issue

Nairaland General › Here's Is The First African Indigenous Manufactured Car. by Evanspaul(op): 9:38pm On May 18, 2020*

In 1997, a brilliant Igbo Electrical Engineer and Lecturer at the Federal polytechnic Nekede, Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu designed and developed the Izuogu Z-600, the first African indigenous manufactured car.
The car was described by the BBC as ‘ the African dream machine as 90% of its parts were sourced locally. At a projected sales cost of 2000 dollars, it would have taken the world by storm and become the cheapest and most affordable car on earth. With mass production planned under Izogu Motors plant in Naze owerri, the prospects of an industrial revolution in Igbo land and Nigeria, was in the making.
The car was equipped with a self made 1.8L four cylinder engine that got 18mpg and allowed the car to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h. Front Wheel Drive (FWD) was chosen over Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) because a transmission tunnel, which RWD would require, would be more expensive to fabricate.
So 90% of the car’s components were made locally. General Sani Abacha set up a 12 man panel of inquiry made up of professionals to ascertain the road worthiness and authenticity of the car and after several days of probing, the committee gave Dr. Izuogu’s car a clean bill of health, recommending that some of the bumps on the body of the car be smoothened.
At a well organized unveiling ceremony which had General Abacha represented by Oladipo Diya, over 20 foreign ambassadors and thousands of people in attendance, the federal government promised a grant of 235 million naira to Dr. Izuogu.
An excited Dr. Izuogu is still waiting for that grant till today. No dime was released to him. In 2006, the government of South Africa invited Dr. Izuogu to do a presentation about the car in the presence of several world class engineers. Being impressed with his presentation, they invited him to come and set up a plant in South Africa and begin the production of the car.
Dr. Izuogu reluctantly agreed, though he wasn’t happy that the benefits of employment generation will be lost on the locals of Naze and the Nigerian human resources environment. On Saturday, the 11th of March 2006, at about 2.00 a.m, a total of about 12 heavily armed men broke into Dr. Izogu’s factory in Naze and carted away various machines and tools including the design history notebook of Z-600, the design file Z-MASS, containing the design history for mass production of Z-600 car, and the moulds for various parts of the car.
According to Dr. Izuogu:
“It seems that the target of this robbery is to stop the efforts we are making to mass-produce the first ever locally made car in Africa. Other items stolen included locally produced timing wheel, locally produced camshaft, locally produced crankshaft, locally produced engine tappets, all 20 pieces each
Also stolen were ten pieces of locally produced Z-600 engine blocks, ten pieces of locally produced pistons, four pieces of engine block mounds, four pieces of top engine block moulds, ten pieces of engine fly wheel and two pieces each of rear car and front mudguard moulds.”The inventor regretted that not only did they lose over one N1 billion in monetary terms, but also time (about 10 years) and the energy it took to design and produce the moulds. “To worsen the matter, our design notebook was also stolen,” he stated.
He regarded the incident as a national economic disaster because the nation had lost a technological and intellectual property. This Press was quiet about this story. The set back and governments attitude frustrated Izuogu and his dream died.

Guys,
I just finished my machine learning course.
I learned regression and classification algorithms like SVM, Linear/logistic regression,Random forest, Decision Trees,k nearest neighbor, gradient boosting and co.
Also I learnt unsupervised learning too, and also cross validation,grid search and com
I've also practiced on kaggle too.

Please, what next??

Well you have gone far sha
If you have strength u can enter into deep learning, (neural network, tensor flow) participate in kaggel competitions that award points, build projects and post on GitHub and kaggel,
Start building your resume.
U can check nano degree program (for Data science, there curriculum) to see if there are other things u should.
Also I think you should learn how to use tableau or powerbi and Excel. These are somethings we data scientist do not normal learn, but if you want to work in Nigeria then it's important.
Then start applying for jobs once you feel u are ready and qualified.
U can create an account at LinkedIn, dey will alert u wen a job offer come in den, u can apply.
If u have a good resume u can apply at upwork.
U can also build a very good project that will sell.

Pls guys,pls I was trying to import data file with 7million rows from SQL server into the data model,but the thing kept loading and reloading as Soon as subscription is exhausted,and I will have to refresh and start from the beginning to load the data after subscribing again

From what I learnt,columnar Database compresses big files,but the case is different here cos I have used up to 5 gig of internet data yet to no avail.

My question now is,must I have like 10 gig sub before I can import big files?

See screenshot...

The f transaction file has loaded like 3 million plus rows before it stopped..

Pls I await ur responses

From my knowledge of working with big data online (not SQL) u should upload the data to cloud den import it from there, so that u won't have to upload it again wen de internet stops,
Eg if u re using Google code like to write code, u upload de data u re using to Google drive,
Try and kw if u can apply it in what u re doing.
I don't know which SQL or platform u re using,
Try and check dey might have a cloud storage where u can upload de data u want to work with.

I understand your point.
Dear now you understand the in and out of data science. My advice is for you to complete your program 1st. Add web development skills to it. Try learning JavaScript,HTML or CSS. Use the web development skills and apply too. Most firms wants full time not part time or remote. It’s only startups that would give you a remote option.

Lastly apply to upwork.

thanks for the advice sir
i have a rusty knowledge of web development, its from web that i switched to data science

Experts in the house please help see to this issue, I just pip installer Numpy, Pandas and jupyter so as to start learning using Pandas for analysis, I opened a new folder stores the file to be processed, navigated to the folder through the CMD prompt and launched jupyter from there. But to my surprise I was not able to import the file until I went on YouTube and saw a video where he added (encoding, "Latin" nrows=(number of rows) I tried it and it worked but I don't understand jack about what I did and why I had to add the encoding in order for the file to be imported on jupyter notebook.

u can also use # df1 = pd.read_csv('train.csv', engine='python') it will fix de problem

Health › Covid 19 In Enugu by Evanspaul(op): 7:02pm On Mar 25, 2020

I came back from school yesterday due to covid 19 break and ASUU strike and what I observed in Enugu where I reside is very disheartening.
It's like nothing is going on in the country or they didn't know.
I spoked to a hawker that sell things around where I live about the virus and she said it is not real that it's the government trying to embezzle wealth through it. That it doesn't affect blacks. The worst part of it, is that most people laugh at those who wear face mask and use hand sanitizers. I was like ignorance is very bad.
Some where saying that God will save them(without any work).
Face mask that used to be N50 is now N300, even hand sanitizer have increased, that's if you don't get the fake one. I don't know if that's why don't believe it's real.
Nothing like social distancing, school still runs (although they said they will close before the week ends), churches operates well, markets still open. Everything here is going as before. I just pray that the virus doesn't enter here, because it will be very terrible.
Enugu State is in the hands of God.
