Hi guys, JAMB has released the results for its just concluded UTME exams. The result have come with mixed feelings from different candidates.
This thread is focused on sharing your JAMB result, expectations and next steps. You can use the following format for my spouse like this below:

Jamb score: 254
Degree of choice: Medicine & Surgery
University choice: Uniabj

Don't know what next plans are now. seems the score may not be able to gain entry for MBBS. However, my spouse has a first degree in Biology and has a very high 2:1, so we are considering converting to DE option. Hopefully JAMB will enable her covert to DE in coming days

Please share your own experience. Thanks

Convert to d.e option and pick schools that offer post d.e exams so she can stand a chance. Uniabj, UNN and Uniben are in this category. I don't know about others

I have a very close friend who is into poultry farming and i assist him at times.

He invested almost 500k into the business last year...he has been into the business for almost 10 years now(quite experienced now)
He almost ran at loss if not for some timely interventions he did.
Disease attacked the birds and almost 15 died within 2 weeks and cats started invading the cage at night and they started eating the birds too.

Omo, this is crazy oh. I hate rearing chickens honestly. About 45 died in the last set I did (within a week oh). Poultry is not for the faint hearted bro.

Albert0011:

Yap.
U re somehow right.

are you into poultry farming too ?

Albert0011:
I will advise u to go for bakery.

Poultry business is very risky at times if u don't have the experience to run it.
One of ur fowl(chicken) can easily transmit disease to other one's and the outcome can be disastrous at times.

exactly. But, other poultry birds have higher survival rate. Turkeys, ducks, quail etc comes to mind

Good evening guys and happy new month!

I'm a second year medical student of OAU, and this thread's giving me nostalgic feelings of when i was preparing to take the UTME too.
Now that the UTME is upon us, i strongly believe that now is the time to start practising as many questions as possible.
To this effect, i personally prepared 500 Biology MCQs that cover the entire UTME syllabus, and i'm very willing to give it out For Free!

I believe this will be my own little way of contributing to your success in the UTME.
If you're interested, you can send me a message on WhatsApp via 09033127182.


I wish you guys outstanding success in your forthcoming examination.

Hello, I sent you a pm.

Your uncle is as dead as he could be. When people are dead, they can't move by themselves. If you paid attention in your science class you would have known this, that is if common sense does not tell you.

What you could do is to install a covert camera. That will show you who has been moving the corpses.

Hello sir, are you a doctor practicing in the UK ?

Goodday everyone, I'll like to know if anyone was able to secure admission into OAU 200level mbbs programme through JUPEB last session.

Other OAU med students reading this please help, I need to know

lets continue on NpcSync@gmail.com

Ok sir. I'll send you a mail right now

I dont know zero about Lua , but python ,c++ and blueprint i know.

I find the trick to learning computer stuff in this modern day, is to use youtube and google and have a working example/tutorial that you are working on getting your hands dirty.

As for the programming languages i know unreal uses c++, Python and blueprints. However c++ is the fastest by far, if you gona write large game doing lots of fancy stuff like fortnight , then its mostly gona need c++ , else it will be slow and laggy. They way they advice is that Blueprints will be ontop doing high level stuff, and c++ under doing low level stuff, in short your blueprints will be controlling components you built from c++.


As for guide, there is like just too many tutorials on youtube , Also the maker of unreal have there own tutorials on thier web page, these tutorials are especially very good. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/onlinelearning-courses
hit the sign in to learning portal button below. Youll need some login .

The challenge i face with unreal engine is that its too sensitive, its very powerfull and as result its not very user friendly. BY that i mean just building your code does not mean it will work when you hit play.

Also you have to be carefull when using c++, cause your code goes into the unreal editor, meaning your code can break unreal engine if you not carefull. When you clcik the editor to open, part of the code its running when opening up is your code, so do not be surprised if it crash before it even open. So you have to take baby steps when adding c++ code until you are comfortable with its behaviour.

So if you looking to write big complex games, you want to mix C++ and blueprint c++ cause its fast, blueprint cause its very powerful and makes your code easier to understand.

My strategy is to skill up very well, then collaborate with others to develop games, i dont think we are in the era when one person can write game anymore, unless its something very small like mobile phone games. Game development budgets is now rivalling movie production budgets.

Also the unreal Engine forum has people who help there, thier response may be slow in coming at times but quite often you get help.
And StackOverflow too is good for c++ questions , and even unreal engine questions.

Thank you for this response sir, is there a way we can continue this discussion in private ?. I don't want to derail the thread and I have many questions to ask. Thanks in anticipation

JaskanFactor:


I am new convert to game developer myself, coming from robotics etc.

So far i am finding there is good demand for Unreal Engine skills, its just about the most powerful game engine, the most complex and challenging. So its hard work, and as result there is demand for the skills.

Its the Game Engine that was used to develop Fortnight .

Skills required is C++ , but the game engine also has its own programming language called Blueprints, and Its got a whole ton of internal tools .

Think of game production like movie production , so that tools like Unreal Engine and UNity have a ton of tools that you have to learn for doing things like animation, NPC AI , and all kinds of graphics special effects .

The good thing is though there is a lot of tutorial videos on YouTube.

The online forum for unreal engine is https://forums.unrealengine.com/latest

Thats where you get help from other users and also where the jobs are advertised.

Also there will be more jobs for game developers now that Metavese is a thing, its this graphics engines that will be used to develop metaverse .

Documentation and tutorials here
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/

Epic Games is the company behind Unreal Engine

Youtube page for the Unreal Engine
https://www.youtube.com/c/UnrealEngine

On thier forums i am IkoLogs you can PM me there if you need any starting Tips.

The business model for developers in tools like this is that.

1- You can get paid helping on another persons project
2- You can develop your own game , the Engine is free until your game is making 1 million dollars , then you have to pay royalty
3 - You can develop Assets that other gam dveopers can use either inform of software or Artwork such as landscape , materils, animation etc

So that I forgot to mention Unreal Engine is not just for programmers to make money, Artists too can make money, and the engine has its own market place where programmers and artitts sell the tools used buy other developers to make thier games.

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/store


Beware Unreal Engine is a Graphics Engine, its not just used for developing games, its also used for CAD type work in Vehicle production , Also used by Interior designers for prototyping.

Thank you for this detailed response sir. I actually started out with interest in building games, tinkering with C++ checking game engines like Godot and unity (this was around 2014) but I got discouraged because there wasn't anyone to guide me so I made alot of mistakes and had several burnouts which made me lose interest entirely. It was so hard to find a game developer then (even now it's still hard) as everyone I met was into web development. By the way Blueprint is somewhat similar to python and Lua right ?

Lindner:


Dont know much about the mkt

okay, thanks

What's the market like for game developers ?
Lindner, JaskanFactor

after4:
did you see snake or ipob in the write up? how do you expect it to make fp?

That's true though.

Honestly, this thread should make front page

So this crap is still on the front page ?

JaskanFactor:
As a software engineer , i can tell you Being a Software Engineer gives more prospects and opportunity to be self employed than chattered accountant.

Both require someone who has no problem with studying , but software engineer has far better career prospects.
By that i mean technology in general sells more as a skill.

With the right experience you can easily get job with foreign company working from home in Nigeria.

Some of the software skills i know that sell close to my field which is robotics and Gaming.

.NET, Azure, AWL, C++, CSharp, AI, Embedded IOT Software, Unreal Engine, Unity Engine.

Robotics related skills selling like hot cake right now.

Also i give you a very good tip that cant fail, Google jobs for software, and see which skills they are frequently looking for and train towards those.

But remember you are most likely to be earning good money doing something you actually like and enjoy, cause working had is easier if you like the field, else you may get tired and not be a able to professional enough to earn good money.

So if you like accountancy , then focus on accountancy/ business management software platforms and learn those, like SAP etc software

In my case my interest was robotics , and i had to learn electronics/some mechanical and software to be professional in my field.
But as i got older i could no longer tolerate the extremely racist working environment Europe, and decided to retrain to develop software for Games and AI , basically a career that i can do from home and find my own customers online which for gaming is many.

As Software for robotics developer the projects are usually multimillion / billion projects and you have to work with lots of oyinbo an get your career destroyed by racists cause you have yo mingle with them everyday.

As software developer for gaming, i get customers through online forums working from home.

So Apart from just what you're interested, you also might find it useful to go for career where you can work from home, especially if it will involve working with oyinbo, they can easily turn coming to work into police incident for you, the sort of trouble you only get in bad night club you find at work.

So you can pretty much follow the software for any industry area cause every single industry has its own software field.

Apart from your day job, you can also develop your own Apps , you can keep both Accountancy and Software ,

Hello sir, I will like to ask a couple of questions concerning the gaming industry, how do I get your contact ?

airsaylongcome:


Good points. I'm also thinking was there any need to do the elif num2>=num1?

I don't think so too. There are many flaws in the code.

airsaylongcome:


I know. But I was talking about the code itself. There are some bits of the code that dlas it is that don't need to be there?

Oh, I've seen it. The parentheses around the comparison of values was unnecessary, assigning the value to another variable "Largest" was unnecessary, the = operator was also unnecessary, the code get kleg sef, he should have considered the probability that the values could be equal since he decided to use the = operator along with the > operator.

airsaylongcome:
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
num3 = float(input("Enter third number: "))
if (num1 >= num2) and (num1 >= num3):
.....largest = num1
elif (num2 >= num1) and (num2 >= num3):
..... largest = num2
else:
.....largest = num3
print("The largest number is", largest)

Saw this code somewhere on Nairaland and while it's mostly correct, I think it is suboptimal. To spark a conversation, how would you guys go about optimising it?

Hmm, well I think the built in max method can be called upon a list containing the inputs. Caveat: The max function is O(n).

nobody01:
So, I did build a project with JavaScript but I don't really like JS. I am trying to let go of Python, but I just can't make it happen.

Now, I want to go into the freelance market preferably Upwork since there are devs on Nairaland with a lot of experience, so that they can serve as guides when I have difficulties.

So far I've been taking DS and Algo classes to improve on that area. My issue now is choosing where to delve into with my Python skill.

I feel Web Development is a bit saturated on Upwork. I have been looking into QA using Selenium, or making bots on Upwork. I'm currently avoiding full time jobs because I need to get my AWS certificate first, so that I can resume as a Solution Architect, DevOps or Cloud Engineer instead of a Backend Engineer.

Please gurus in the house what's your suggestion? How do I know what's trending on Upwork for Python, so that I can learn it. Also, if there places where I could get Python related gigs, I would appreciate if they are mentioned.

Qtguru, Tensazangetsu20, Karleb, spartan117, stanliwise

There are python jobs on upwork. We both share the same sentiment towards Js by the way, I no just like the thing as I prefer python. Check out data mining, Data extraction, web scraping, scripting and automation, python script jobs on upwork. And if you sabi data science too thera are opportunities for that as well. Like qtguru said you can also check out some QA opportunities, devops and cloud stuffs too.

What of the sporadic shootings that happens abroad sometimes?

God forbid. Me I will not die in Jesus name.
