alaba1012: What's the differences between postgraduate and masters
postgraduate is a general term for any degree after your first degree. Masters is a degree you get after your bachelors. TLDR. All masters are postgraduate. Not all postgraduates are masters
thelma76: Wow...I'm surprised to hear UI brought out a third list ,I highly doubt it though,they're not really known for admitting a lot of students and a third list? That'd be a miracle ,but if there is then,congrats to all those who made it!
LAGOS, Nigeria — WE call it light; “electricity” is too sterile a word, and “power” too stiff, for this Nigerian phenomenon that can buoy spirits and smother dreams. Whenever I have been away from home for a while, my first question upon returning is always: “How has light been?” The response, from my gateman, comes in mournful degrees of a head shake.
Bad. Very bad.
The quality is as poor as the supply: Light bulbs dim like tired, resentful candles. Robust fans slow to a sluggish limp. Air-conditioners bleat and groan and make sounds they were not made to make, their halfhearted cooling leaving the air clammy. In this assault of low voltage, the compressor of an air-conditioner suffers — the compressor is its heart, and it is an expensive heart to replace. Once, my guest room air-conditioner caught fire. The room still bears the scars, the narrow lines between floor tiles smoke-stained black.
Sometimes the light goes off and on and off and on, and bulbs suddenly brighten as if jerked awake, before dimming again. Things spark and snap. A curl of smoke rises from the water heater. I feel myself at the mercy of febrile malignant powers, and I rush to pull my laptop plug out of the wall. Later, electricians are summoned and they diagnose the problem with the ease of a long acquaintance. The current is too high or too low, never quite right. A wire has melted. Another compressor will need to be replaced.
For succor, I turn to my generator, that large Buddha in a concrete shed near the front gate. It comes awake with a muted confident hum, and the difference in effect is so obvious it briefly startles: Light bulbs become brilliant and air-conditioners crisply cool.
The generator is electricity as electricity should be. It is also the repository of a peculiar psychology of Nigerian light: the lifting of mood. The generator is lord of my compound. Every month, two men filled with mysterious knowledge come to minister to it with potions and filters. Once, it stopped working and I panicked. The two men blamed dirty diesel, the sludgy, slow, expensive liquid wreathed in conspiracy theories. (We don’t have regular electricity, some say, because of the political influence of diesel importers.) Now, before my gateman feeds the diesel into the generator, he strains it through a cloth and cleans out bits of dirt. The generator swallows liters and liters of diesel. Each time I count out cash to buy yet another jerrycan full, my throat tightens.
I spend more on diesel than on food.
My particular misfortune is working from home. I do not have a corporate office to escape to, where the electricity is magically paid for. My ideal of open windows and fresh, breathable air is impossible in Lagos’s seething heat. (Leaving Lagos is not an option. I love living here, where Nigeria’s energy and initiative are concentrated, where Nigerians bring their biggest dreams.) To try to cut costs — sustainably, I imagine — I buy an inverter. Its silvery, boxlike batteries make a corner of the kitchen look like a physics lab.
Continue reading the main storyContinue reading the main story The inverter’s batteries charge while there is light, storing energy that can be used later, but therein lies the problem: The device requires electricity to be able to give electricity. And it is fragile, helpless in the face of the water pump and microwave. Finally, I buy a second generator, a small, noisy machine, inelegant and scrappy. It uses petrol, which is cheaper than diesel, and can power lights and fans and freezers but only one air-conditioner, and so I move my writing desk from my study to my bedroom, to consolidate cool air.
Day after day, I awkwardly navigate between my sources of light, the big generator for family gatherings, the inverter for cooler nights, the small generator for daytime work.
Like other privileged Nigerians who can afford to, I have become a reluctant libertarian, providing my own electricity, participating in a precarious frontier spirit. But millions of Nigerians do not have this choice. They depend on the malnourished supply from their electricity companies.
In 2005, a law was passed to begin privatizing the generation and distribution of electricity, and ostensibly to revamp the old system rooted in bureaucratic rot. Ten years on, little has changed. Most of the companies that produce electricity from gas and hydro sources, and all of the distribution companies that serve customers, are now privately owned. But the link between them — the transmission company — is still owned by the federal government.
I cannot help but wonder how many medical catastrophes have occurred in public hospitals because of “no light,” how much agricultural produce has gone to waste, how many students forced to study in stuffy, hot air have failed exams, how many small businesses have foundered. What greatness have we lost, what brilliance stillborn? I wonder, too, how differently our national character might have been shaped, had we been a nation with children who took light for granted, instead of a nation whose toddlers learn to squeal with pleasure at the infrequent lighting of a bulb.
As we prepare for elections next month, amid severe security concerns, this remains an essential and poignant need: a government that will create the environment for steady and stable electricity, and the simple luxury of a monthly bill.
DrHost: Pls if you wrote phy chem bio nd eng in last post utme pls kindly drop any que u remember....... Please
Just read your jamb questions, its the same things that they ask. There's nothing special in post uutme. Or you can check this thread around the post utme period. I remember some people posted questions. Also check the 2013/2014 thread too around that period. You'll find some questions there too. But if you can cover your textbooks and read jamb past questions, you should be fine
Well I am not looking for attention neither m I looking for ways to commit suicide! But I just asked my self,how can one really commit suicide without really feeling any pain?

franklyneo: Plsss all the gurus in the house,help ur brother,am a computer science student 1st year,i know school won't teach me programming,buh am determined to be a good programmer..pls advice me,which programming language would be best for me to start with?and d next ones to learn after d 1st
secondly,i would like to develope a chatting app,like whatsapp,..which language would be best for it..thanks guys
Start with python. Its very easy to learn and its also very relevant
Marsatto: I want to create a c/c++ program that accepts an unknown set of integers at runtime but I dont want to declare the size of the array or pointer in my program. I want the program to be dynamic enough to resize itself to the user inputs.
I don't want a declaration like a[100] or a = new int[100] or a*int=a*malloc[100], etc because of the lenght 100 (or any other number).
My question is if it is possible for a dataype like integer to read values at runtime with unknown lenght?
Why does nairaland censor words on a public forum? even some words that are not profanities like se.x, breas.ts etc? (not that I support censorship of profanities but at least that's a bit reasonable if you want a family friendly forum) Is there any explanation for this? Seun? Let's talk about this please. This is not North Korea.
GenBuhari: why do we need more fighters to fight a bunch of hired militant thugs has Nigeria got the manpower and weaponry already to crush few hundred paid thugs?
Please wake up.
We do not have a govt who can protect you.
Look after your own security.
[size=25pt]Important Public Service announcement:[/size]
Fellow Nigerians and Africans:
The white man is stealthily waging a war against us and most of us are blissfully unaware of this.
[size=18pt]The use of hoax deadly viruses to economically exploit and to depopulate Africa by using fear and panic to coerce Africans to take poisonous medications and vaccines .[/size]
HIV and Ebola do not exist.
Don't believe me? Please do not read any further and immediately google "Ebola hoax" and "HIV/AIDS hoax "
The treatment of HIV /AIDS is what up to now they have been using to depopulate millions of African and profiting the white man.
By selling us condoms he is even taxing us every time we have sex.
Ebola is the "new HIV"
The so-called Ebola outbreak is a psychological terrorism using hundreds of paid actors across dozens of countries including the corrupt W.H.O. who is founded by members of the same foundation/Think Tank advocating for global depopulation (Rockefeller Foundation)
The white man who has been trying to wipe us out for centuries found these two deadly diseases amongst our people both in 1976 and we are not sceptical?
As the oldest race in the world we have survived probably hundreds of thousands of years without any deadly disease, yet our genocidal enemy just happens to be in our midst when he discovers not one but 3 deadly viruses in our midst all in resource rich regions of Africa all in one year (1976) HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Marsburg virus. The odds of this being true are so low that it would be fair to conclude it is impossible.
Fellow Africans the white man has unfinished business with us. He wants our total destruction (by stealth) all because we are sitting on the natural resources he wants.
We do not have a government to protect us so do not rely or depend on it. Unfortunate the imperialist seem to have captured and held our government hostage by whatever means, such that they do whatever they are told to do. Case in point the fake Ebola crisis that played out for some weeks in Nigeria. Which is likely to re-emerge to add to the terror that is being inflicted on us.
White imperialist nations has been conducting a stealth war against us for decades if not centuries to wipe us without success. Lets not forget the lessons of how he destroyed the native Americans, The Amazonian Indians, The Aborigines, Natives of New Zealand all of whom he as virtually wiped out and dispossessed them of their land and resources.
Make no mistake a deadly stealth war is being waged against Africans and all their descendants.
We need to fight this war starting by first getting ourselves enlightened. We do not have a government that can protect us so it is going to be every man for himself.
[size=18pt]Looming Crisis in Nigeria that has been engineered by imperialist nations to occur in Nigeria[/size]
We in Nigeria have been set up experience wicked, punishing hardship, unrest and killings by agents of the imperialists white man in the coming weeks.
The CIA sponsored paid mindless thugs called Boko Haram as already started to set the country on fire.
It is rumoured that the imperialist white man is planning to set this country ablaze in the biggest smash and grab operation the white man has ever carried out in Africa.
By fomenting sectarian killings and unrest it is suspected that the imperialist America may send in troops on the pretext of securing peace, but what ultimately they may be planning is to break Nigeria into several weakling nations with puppet leaders and in the process grab and secure all the resources-rich areas for themselves to steal our natural resources.
Fellow Nigerians because of this imminent violence that is about to explode, I suggest that you start making plans for the protection and if necessary for the evacuation of your families to safer areas or villages.
Prices of everything is going to double. Oil prices is in free fall all has been calculated and designed by America ( who has power to control oil prices and Nigeria's inflation rate) to add hunger to fuel the fire .
[size=18pt]What You Can Do To Protect Yourself And Your Family[/size]
As mentioned earlier: Start making immediate security plans to protect and or evacuate your family to known safe areas in the event of outbreak of murderous violence.
remember to avoid all vaccines produced by the imperialist white nations. Not Ebola, HIV, measles stop taking any vaccines.
Do not take up any offers of free medical health checks from their NGOs, Reject their family planning. Find other ways to protect ourselves from contagious diseases.
Rather than use the condoms manufactured by the imperialist white man which contain toxic chemicals that can damage your health, save money on condoms and we should make our own or abstain from unsafe sexual practices such as casual penetrative sex including penetrative sex with sex workers and anal sex .
Stop eating foods and consuming any products imported from imperialist countries. Start growing your own food.
Stop smoking cigarettes, chewing gum, using deodorant or toothpaste and other toiletries from imperialist nations.
Ladies, you are their special targets. You are the people that are going to deliver our next generation so you would be targeted.
Be very sceptical of any free medical health checks from their "charity NGO". They would like to make you unhealthy and ultimately infertile. Consider getting make-up and other hair products and toiletries from other sources.
Lets all utilise locally produced products that we can trust or from trustworthy countries.
The best way for us to fight this war is to boycott every product produced by these imperialist countries that we are able to do without or find other sources.
Educate yourselves about how vaccines are being used to depopulate us.
Please share share share (NL would not be allowed to put this thread on the front page) So please share it at least once daily and like every positive post.
Start this thread on other social media: facebook' twitter' instagram etc. Also go into my profile and follow me.
[size=18pt] Finally to help to protect yourselves from at least some of the hardship that is coming your way, as the Naira continues to free fall take the following advice very seriously: With immediate effect if you have any savings withdraw it all and use it to buy any asset you could re-sell later at a much higher price after the devaluation has bottomed out.[/size]
[b]Ebola is a hoax - the intention is to terrorise our population into panicking and taking deadly vaccines which America world profit massively by selling to our govt and which would be then used to depopulate us. Those that do not die from the vaccine would become infertile and unable to conceive children.
You have been warned; Take this Ebola vaccine that is surely coming your way soon, at your own peril.
This doctor Dr Adadevoh, (or rather the actor pretending to be this doctor) I can guarantee you she is not dead. In fact her name is a fake name and would not match the name of the Woman whose photo they are telling us is her. [img]http://obamadiary.files./2014/11/adadevoh.jpg?w=453&h=530[/img] There is no such person as Dr Adadevoh. The lady photographed is a paid actor?
Why don't someone prove me wrong and show me a facebook or twitter presence or even a mere web presence for this so called senior doctor that supposedly headed a department in a large Lagos hospital.
Shut me up by good by showing me a mere web presence for her prior to the Ebola crisis.
For that matter find any web presence (prior to so called Ebola outbreak) for Patrick Sawyer the so called Liberian government minister that brought Ebola to Nigeria.
Why would Nigeria participate in a hoax against its own people? Because through blackmail using IMF and World Bank loans and our corruptible leadership, Nigeria has virtually surrender its sovereignty to America who can dictate to Nigeria any policy it wants it to implement; Including the deception and terrorism of its own citizens.
The youtube video below using the words of a former CIA agent who wrote the book:" The Economic Hitman" would clarify my point for you.
