Do you know that research says heart attacks are more common among men because they cry less frequently than women? Funny and amazing!

Brother, We never thought we would have to go through the thousands of CVs uploaded, until we realized that some deceitful individuals were uploading empty documents as CVs, just to proceed to stage 3.

MizMyColi:
If you received an email earlier, stating that you've been shortlisted for second stage, you should log on to the website now to start stage two.

There you will see your total score and your certificate, with options to download and share with friends.
I scored 9000 points...dunno if that's a 90% though.

I've completed stage 2 also.

Now, I wait.....

@Feraz. Wow! That's a 5-star analysis u got there.
Why are u surprised that Japan is rated above USA? With the kind of technologies coming from Japan, I'm suspecting they're being tutored by futuristic time-travelling shape-shifting aliens from 10,000A.D.

(Just kidding about d alien part )

They're advancing in nanorobotics (which is an innovative technology on a frigging epic scale). Imagine intelligent robots smaller than the width of a human hair which can be injected into the body and controlled on a molecular level to alter the cells within d body. Imagine how treatment and cures will look like. U can be treated for the most deadly diseases/ailments or injuries within minutes. When that kinda tech comes to naija, many pastors don lose market be that .

They're the first to succeed in developing true 3D display using laser plasma technology. With their device, 3D images can be created in mid-air without the use of a screen. They even promised a high tech marvel of said 3D display, in their final pitch to host the 2022 World Cup. They planned on paving 400 stadiums around the world with 3D flat screens to show life size matches thousands of miles away. In other words, its possible to watch live world cup matches from say, Abuja stadium. I'm not talking of watching it on big screens, I'm talking of seeing the players & ref, playing on the Abuja pitch as if they're actually there. The only difference is that the players in the actual WC venue will be real flesh & blood humans while those same players in the Abuja stadium will be 3D holograms.
Wished they won the bid, instead of Qatar.

There's also the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) state-of-the-art radio telescope which can convert waves from a dying star into music.

Then Nissan's autonomous drive car which can think and make decisions due to its artificial intelligence. Less accidents and traffic congestion.

Abeg they deserve to come on top the US anytime anyday.

As for what Nigeria will learn, hmmmmm....in my opinion, we will never learn. Not with the mentality of the average Nigerian on the street or those at the helm of affairs in govt. Our educational curriculum even makes it worse.

words from a brainwashed Igbo man. Not surprised at your comments.

I thought the thread was forgotten so I unfollowed. Unfortunately for me now, since the top part of my phone no longer works, I can't swipe down from top, I Cannot Access My Camera Settings and Adjustment. I've shot very very less than I used to. I like the UBA building. it wouldn't have been better than in Monochrome.

SmooshCHN:
I thought I was too inquisitive and was the only one willing to know. Can't wait to see which device. It should be a Camera.

braintext:
Just this...







I took this photo and when i tried to upload it, it took alot of time, i had to check the picture size and it was 20mb


Just had to cram it to a smaller size

eromspete:
No.

- Blurry subject (subject outline not well defined)
- Too much noise on the photo
- etc...

hemor:
bro I want to ask a question though it might sound stupid but i will ask anyway.

Can a camera app improve picture quality? I always feel like google camera has a better picture quality than my default camera. Though it's very hard to notice the difference but I just feel like it's better. Also some people say camera360 and cymera also inprove quality so I want to confirm from a professional like you.

SmooshCHN:
that kind of question neither hard to answer nor does it touch me. I took them myself. Megapixels doesn't translate to good Mobile Camera, it's about The Sensor Size (The bigger the better) , The Size of Each pixels making up each photo(the smaller the better) and lastly Megapixel. A Nokia Lumia 1080 with I think over 40Megapixel will never out-do a professional camera of 12Megapixel in terms of Picture Quality. the Lumia might looks bigger but not better. As for my photographs Any Mobile phone that doesn't give me that Manual adjustment such as Exposure Compensation, Focus Options, Mutual ISO settings etc to me is not what is best IPhone and Samsung Galaxy lacks these. All these doesn't make sense if one ends up using a IPhone 6 or Galaxy S6 or note 4 to take photos of Rice and Beans in a Water Bottle. What you make out of it is what matter. I'm proud of my trashy image and don't need to copy an image from a website.

These are proofs. They only look much better after tweaking. The last image is also from me, after editing with Camera360. all from Sony Z2, hoping to get the Z4 when it's launched.

prince3009:
Bro, you took these shots yourself or you copied them from a site which claims they were taken with an Experia Z2?

Auroras are caused by the interaction of earth's magnetic field with particles
from the sun. . . the earth magnetic fields are strongest at the north and south poles, and africa is neither near any of them. We are near the equator, aurora occuring in africa or Nigeria is almost impossible.. thats why we never get to see them here while they happen many times in artantica, australia, even canada and many other places near the poles.

Herzumpther:
There was this woman who fries akara very close to my block and she was selling big time. In fact she use to sell akara and koko with fried yam, plantain and all sorts and she sells like no tomorrow. We use to call her barrack tantalizer's then until I returned from school 2 years ago and heard she confessed of witchcraft and this wash put thing to, she confessed of it. She confessed in the middle of the barrack and the video was everywhere. They were actually 2 that sells the same thing but the other woman never sells. this one, people take turns to buy from her.

Abeg op wash put is real. I don't eat out except I go to popular eatries..... In fact I don't, I jejely order for take away pack.

ginawest:
yh....shey dey caught a man doing it at one restaurant in imsu....he uses his female sales girls menstrual blood to cook.

qbd2:
Yuck. Even d post irritates. Srry op I dobnt know of washput.but juju is real for sure and its bad too.

Herzumpther:
Wash put is real o.

I visited my previous hostel in Benin city. At night, I wanted to get something to eat. On getting to the buka I normally frequent, I realised they weren't there anymore; I got food somewhere else. As I arrived my room, I asked my roommate and a neighbour on what happened at the buka and why it is no more there, I was told that the place was demolished cos the owner of the land wants to build a hostel there. While the place was being demolished, they found 'juju' buried beneath where the buka was located. He (My neighbour) then said "She don dey wash put tey tey and people no know. No wonder her market dey move!". From there, we argued if it was real or not and he said it is real, I said it is not.

For those who attended University of Benin, you will know the famous restaurant called Toseton (this is different from the buka being talked about above). Anyway, I heard when Toseton was still operating a canopy, students and also men with flashy cars come over there to eat; if there are no clean plates, they wash their own plates themselves in order to be served, these are men on suit ready to wait oh and people as usual attributed it to 'wash put'!

What is this 'wash put'?

Wash put as people say is when a person uses his/her bodily fluid (mostly said to be menstrual blood - apologies to the women out there) to prepare a meal that is to be sold to customers. It is believed that this helps makes the business boom and those who eat from thy meal will always come back for more even though they have good cooks at home.

We did not agree if it was real or not so I decided to throw it open here. To Nairalanders, is wash put real?
