We are so callous to ourselves in Nigeria.

How can anyone seek to Vote for this Man at this dire stage of the country?

I don't have anything against him other than him not being fit to rule.

LastProphet:
Mumuuuu thinking US, China are mere countries, America has 50 states, one of it Texas is as big as Nigeria yet only 29million people live in it. 6 hours flight you are still within China, these are the gigantic landmasses you compare to a hopeless Nigeria? See the almajiris we are talking about?

And how is population density a measure of safety and security?

Asour:
Oh my bad.

I said that because it irks me when people who aren't proficient in a particular tools are able to make comments about what that tool (that they aren't experts in its use) cannot do.

It's funny.

Alright then.

Asour:
Add-ins are the only way to ensure a tool remains comprehensive in its features.

Stata was developed in the 1980s.

Are the features today same as it was in the 1980s?
No. Because new features have been included (ADDED IN)

Add-ins is a feature that makes Excel's capabilities Endless. IT IS A part of Excel.

N.B. We aren't necessarily arguing.
Hearing the viewpoints of others on platforms like this help challenge our viewpoints with a view to testing merit — and hopefully learning new things.

I agree that we aren't necessarily arguing. but you were using words like NEVER, NEED NOT and it kinda put me off.

I guess it's all part of learning. Kudos! on your points/expose`

Asour:
There's Nothing that Stata can do that can't be replicated in Excel.

The problem is that everyone judges excel with its stock functionalities.

Excel is a Swiss Army knife for Analytics— one in which you and me can expand the functionalities with near endless possibilities with VBA & other add-ins.

See this for example.

Charles Zaiontz has written a comprehensive statistics add-ins for Excel .

Real-statistics.com

But I'll agree with you that Academics have their favourite tool of choice.
But that is just a preference.

you said Add-in. There are a lot of things Eviews and STATA can do that are not possible on Excel YET. But then, preference comes to the fore.

Wooh, you are right. Argument dey quick tire me.

Actually, I checked out the add-in, it's well packed.

Asour:
There's no 'this side of the World' any longer in this information age.

Information/Knowledge has been democratised for whoever seeks it / wherever it's sought.

And yes, R can do/build the models you've described.

As a rule of thumb, Most canned tools (Proprietary tools) are more limited in functionality than their open source equivalents. For obvious reasons.

Alright then.

The Only thing he will inherit is Buhari's Blue Agbada

Asour:
No one NEEDS Stata or Eviews for Research analysis in the professional setting.

Between Excel/Python & R, All analytical problems are solved .

Remember Op said Research Analysis not Data Analysis. How do you test your data for stationarity, Normality. Build GMM, ARDL Models (used by NBS for forecast) with R and Python (It's not impossible, but the knowledge is limited on this side of the world). Eviews and STATA are ready-to-use routines in that regard.

Asour:

Excel cannot do some of the things Eviews and STATA Can.

Also, For most AcaDemic Researchs, those two will majorly come in handy.

But then the world is moving to R and Python. But their application is not fully established in Econometrics (Economics/Business Research)

For a start, you need to be grounded in Economics, Finance and some Accounting.

In addition, Data Analysis with either EViews/STATA (preferrably).

For Visualization, either of Excel, Power BI/Tableau.

LastProphet:
Mumuuuu of the highest order I knew this is the trash I will hear. List the landmass of each of the countries mentioned above, I'm waiting, then I will lecture you further starting with what we call population density, mumuuuuu

First, it was population. Now, it is population density.

Wooh, I no get your time. Keep hating on Islam.

LastProphet:
Is about Islam don't fooool yourself. Overpopulation is a major factor in this banditry and Islam is responsible for overpopulation because they must gather more votes for election than the infidels

Overpopulation is a major factor in banditry?? Islam is responsible for overpopulation??Our Last born in Secondary school is brainier than you.

USA??
China??
India??

OgaTheTop2:
This is not about Islam.. it's about failed government, failed country..

You dey mind that senseless bigot?

Everything na Islam.

SIRTee15:
Europe has lost it and they going down. This proud and arrogant civilization thought they achieved it all by their own strength. They will be shocked!
Any river that abandon its source will dry up.
Europe was nothing before they embraced christ- they were barbaric pagan worshippers with backward civilization. They will become nothing again now they abandoning Christ.
Already Islam is the fastest growing religion in that region. And will know what happens to 'infidels' when Islam becomes the majority religion.

What is happening to infidels in the UAE?

Una just like to dey bad mouth Islam

tonididdy:
I nor understand.
He just found out after 9months that she’s a Christian?
Anyway Aboki nor fit get sense wallaitailai

A sensible person knows that there's a twisted plot to the story. But then, as always, it's an opportunity to tongue lash Islam.

Imagine me faulting Christianity in its entirety because of Evans and Rev. Chris Okotie??

derecho:
I'm not joking. Islam normalizes evil against Christians and Muslims that leave Islam to Christianity.
They worry less if it isn't Christians. It's part of Jihad.

Haaaaaaa, why are you lyinnng?

What would this profit you?

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Their religion makes them to be desperately wicked

Since 2015 Nigerians have known no rest!

How can you make false claims confidently??

Terrorism knows no religion. Bama and Gaza are predominantly Muslim areas.

Today, those communities have been sacked.

Revolution2022:
Work where you will have a peace of mind and prompt payment of salary not a company where the pay is higher but there is no peace salary is paid late.

I can relate. Where I used to work befor, pay was high but meehn, no peace of mind and salary na always on God. Cos our Unit Lead will just find one thing you did wrong and tell HR to hold your salary. Every other unit knows how much work we put in and they were even poaching me to join them as I am a hard worker, but My Oga did not allow the transfer and she does not appreciate our efforts. Na so God open another way oo. The salary is substantially lower, but mehn peace of mind boku, remote working options and all.

N3TRAL:

Akwa Ibom people will love Jagaban more for calling Udom a boy. Jagaban is not lying. Even as Governor, Udom spends at least 4 days a week at his residence in Lagos.

The streets of Uyo are wild for Jagaban.

Jagaban will win at least 10 Local Governments in Akwa Ibom. He will get his 25% and move on.

Akwa Ibom people know the person that brought Jagaban to them.

He is the person that built the stadium used for the campaign today. It is the best stadium in Nigeria modelled after Bayern's Arena in Munich. It is better than the one in Peter Obi's Anambra or Atiku's Adamawa.

He is the person that gave Akwa Ibom State an airport. Anambra's billionaires used to land in Enugu state under Peter Obi and drive to their mansions in the village. Anambra had no airport.

Akwa Ibom people know the man who built flyovers, quality roads - some extended into neighbouring Abia State.

His name is Akpabio. He is the one who brought Tinubu to his people and told them "Tinubu is a builder like me".


Akwa Ibom people will not fail Akpabio on his quest to become Nigeria's third citizen. They will vote massively to return Akpabio to the Senate and vote massively too for Tinubu.

That crowd you saw in Uyo today is pure love for Akpabio and Tinubu. APC will score better than Labour Party in AKWA IBOM.

Stop the hate-filled narrative.

My God!!!

hOW CAN you be campaigning for Akpabio?


is he not the same Akpabio caught in the NDDC saga??

eweeeee. see the people I am sharing a country with o.

someone who would have been terminated now, had he been in China?

caylakays:
C dem wasting their states money

I can bet a lot of people are going hungry in that state. yet, he is hosting his friends with their money in his care.

This people have no fear of God.

No be only London, na Osapa London.

Obi will get more votes in the core North than Thiefnubuu.

The Northerners are upright and hate Thieves and drug barons.

Now, the Northerners are upright, they are not terrorists anymore?

Hmm. Allah Teni Kemu

important differences between a true Muslim and a fanatic Muslim:

First, a true Muslim is preoccupied with his faith.
But a fanatic Muslim is always busy with the faith of others...

Secondly, a true Muslim works to get himself and others to Paradise...
But a fanatic Muslim works only to prove that others will enter Hell Fire ....

Third, a true Muslim finds excuses for others in order to forgive their eccesses and shortcomings.
But a fanatic searches for mistakes and lapses of others in order to punish and slander them.

what does Naira redesign have to do with winning the polls? can't bribe the electorates?

Mubarak225:
Asalam alaykum dear brother and sister in islam on this forum.
My question is: can someone help me to diffeciate between sujud badh and sujud qadr.

Hi Mubarak,

I suppose you meant to enquire of the two sujuudu saah'wi(s) i.e qabl and baa'di.

So, when praying and mistake(s) arise(s),those are the two categories of sujuuds we can use to correct them.

Qabl

This is the type of sujuud done to rectify salah when we make an ommission. it is done before the tesleem.

- If the Omission is a sunnah e.g forgetting to say "Ameen" after Fatiha, when you remember this, it's not compulsory to do saah'w (but there's a caveat on this). In summary, when the ommission is a Sunnah on Salat, then saah'w is not compulsory.

- If the omission is a waajib, then saah'w is required to rectify the omission. for instance, forgetting to sit for the first tashaahuud and remembering when one has fully rose to the third rak'ah. If one has stood completely to the third raka'h, then there is no need to go back to do tashaahud. but saah'w is required.


Baa'di

This is the type of sujuud done to rectify an addition. it is done after the tasleem.

All the ifs apply to Baa'di as well,with respect to whether the addition is a sunnah or a waajib or a ruknu.

ruuknu are those aspect of sallah without which the sallah is utterly invalidated.

for example reading Faatihah, doing taakbiraatul ihram while standing upright, rukuuh, sujud.

When there is an addition of a ruknu and we realize after the addition is made, then only baa'di is required.

But when a ruknu is omitted, then we need to bring that rakaa'h where the omission was perpetrated again. for instance, you did just one sujuud in the second rakaah. but then you only realized this when you were on the 3rd rakaah, then you need to take the 3rd rakaah as the second (as the former second rakaah is invalid now). then a Baa'di will be required in this regard on the 5th [now the 4th] rakaah.

the case is different when we are in doubt about the mistake. but I'll rest here and let the sheikhs have the floor.

owiko:
What does an average Nigerian who has been beaten black and blue by the APC catastrophic government stand to fear if the doomsday clock reaches midnight or moves anticlockwise? Mhen, Nigerians have seen it all. Some are going through a lot, some are just coming out of a lot, while some are bent on dragging everyone into a lot by supporting balablu. Please let's vote Peter Obi

you had me ROTFL

This is one of the reasons why I’ll always be grateful of the gun culture in the USA.

The proliferation of guns can go both ways.

The stolen dollars have been redistributed.

Naija which way

Benitoh:
Someone should please help remind me who said that Nigeria is the most fantastically corrupt country on Earth.

Tinubu gave us buhari and now he wants to take over as a president, truly Nigeria is a joke .
