Every individual is different. There are British born Nigerians with perfect manners and Nigerian born with no manners - and vice versa. It all depends on the girls upbringing and individual choices. I know many Nigerian girls that turn ashawo soon as dem land for jand.

Google is owned by its shareholders but it was founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two Mathematics PHD's from Stanford University. Infact, it was their PHD project and initially, google used the Stanford University servers to run google.

Yahoo also came from Stanford University PHD's. Infact, anything substantial in Computational Mathematics usually comes out from Stanford University.

I remember that in primary school, if not for a couple of girls in my class, school would have been uncompetitive and I would have gotten lower grades. This law just shows the digressionary thinking of the Hausa/Fulani.

Thanks for the info. I didn't attend Uni in Nigeria so I never learnt the grading system.

So how does the grading system work?

Wetin be all this 4.5/5 and stuff? How does it work? Over here, you just have to average 70%, depending on the weighting of all your modules. Your dissertation itself is worth about 4 modules put together.

SWP has left? Yippeee!

Why would scammers try to scam fellow Nigerians? Don't they know that we know all their tricks? Those scammers are aiming at the wrong market. Infact, they are very stupid. Such people should quit scamming cos it is not for them. They should save their scams for the Europeans and the Arabs.

Chrisbenogor:
How do I get my hands on the softwares

Those softwares are expensive bruv. . . . if your uni doesn't provide them, then you should concentrate on the software they do provide such as MATLAB. . . . MATLAB fulfills many functions, from engineering to finance.

Chrisbenogor:
@ibime thanks for the info will start googling like crazy, you got ideas for effective search strings?
@jay bee I need mech eng thanks dawg.

What topic of Mech Eng. are you interested in? When you find a topic you will find that many thesis link together. If you find anything you like on google, just scroll down to the references section and enter those references into google. . . . but first, you have to decide on the topic. . . .unfortunately, I am not too experienced with Mech Eng so I can't tell you whats hot and whats not in that field right now. . . google search for the latest Mech Eng journal and find out yourself, then see how your knowledge fits in with that field. . . if you have 20% of the background knowledge and the software to prosecute such a thesis, then go ahead.

heard Obinna has signed for inter milan and is on loan to everton.

according to goal.com

He has always been part-owned by InterMilan. The news is also on BBC. . . . infact, they quoted goal.com

Chrisbenogor:
@ibime I have got matlab actually tried to use it once but got bored quickly and changed ended up using excel solver. What are the other two about, I am on a placement now though so I could learn any package, what did you have in mind?

ANSYS is for Finite Element Analysis and CFD is Computational Fluid Dynamics - ie software like Fluent, STAR CD, Phoenics etc. To be honest, my masters only covered Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Electronics because it was an Applied Maths masters, not an Engineering masters and I concentrated on the finance side more. I don't think i did much to do with mechanical Engineering per se, although FEA covers that side as well. The only coursework I did which was even close to Mechanical Engineering was the one I just posted. . . .the others were mostly structural engineering and electronic stuffs. . . . but if you have MATLAB, you should use that. . . . just start google searching like crazy. . . .I used to spend almost 3 hours a day googling when I was doing my dissertation. . . .make sure it is some new engineering that only came out recently. . . .lecturers like that. Trust me, you will score highly.

Chrisbenogor:
@IbimeThanks a lot bro you were spot on I needed mechanical if you have got any others maybe from course mates I need something that will throw my 1980's lecturer's mouth's open. Thanks again.

It depends on what software you have to work with. Do you have ANSYS or MATLAB or any CFD code?

Chrisbenogor:
Abeg people anyone who knows a good site where I can get list of project topics for undergrad engineering should hit me with a link.
Cheers.

I don't know. . . . but I did some work on airflow through vehicle airboxes. You can steal that one if you wish.

And to all you 1st class citizens,please tell us your Alma Mater

@Ibime

what up dude, remove those fakers away from you fantasy okay, u going to gain good points. the earlier the better okay.

You can still make transfers at this time?

No problem. Time to change some of these jokers.

McKren:
All I am saying is it is inconsistent to make so much noise about Nationalism and yet promote sectional politics.

When did I make noise about Nationalism?. . . . WTF are you talking about?. . . if anybody has advocated the splitting on Nigeria in politics section, it is me. . . .the only Nationalistic sentiment I ever expressed is that ICPC should not classify data by zones because it doesn't help national unity. . . . I said that not because my politics supports Nationalism but because I expect things to be done the right way, not in a partizan fashion, until we say goodbye to the North. . . . .

McKren:
That is the issue, the next minute you will start lecturing me on unity of Nigeria and Nationalism. See how you are promoting tribal politics for the sake of tribe. How about defending Goodluck Jonathan because the constitution says so.

What is killing Nigeria and will continue to kill Nigeria is this kind of politics. Where North votes in blocks based on tribal sentiments and find willing allies in South. Today their allies is South-South, tomorrow it is South-West and next tomorrow it is South_East.

How about standing for what is right for Nigeria at all times?? which in this case is having the VP replace the President.

Ibime I think you are politically naive, let us not get into tribal debate ok.!!!!

Firstly, I am Ijaw so if anyone is happy to support Goodluck, it is me.

My guy, you should know that Ibo are my brothers and my forefathers are Ibo. Just as the descendants of Jaja of Opobo are Ibo, so am I. This is no debate. I am just saying that wouldn't it profit Ibo to work together with other tribes rather than this stand alone policy? You must admit that you scored a serious own goal by not supporting June 12th. Think tactically.

Until Nigeria start paying tax, tings no go better.

Unfortunately, the system is so steeped in corruption that one feels the elite political class are not interested in introducing and enforcing a sustainable tax system.

One cannot blame the people for not paying the tax but the Govt for not enshrining it in the national modus operandi. Any man would do whatever he can not to pay tax, even in the West. It is a natural instinct. Hence, we have have tax havens like Monaco et al. Even myself, I have never paid for TV licence (£120.00/year). Imagine me, a Naija man paying TV licence. I never finish to pay student loan, na TV licence I go pay? That is not in my culture abeg. So the point is, its down to the Govt. to enforce such taxes. Taxes require accountability - and the ruling classes of Nigeria no want hear that one.

[quote author=$$Rhino link=topic=164162.msg2715189#msg2715189 date=1219858222]I see no reason why we need to br praying, because he has a Vice, and if he die, the vice will take over.[/quote]Make yawa gas first. . . .you go see how tory go change.

McKren:
While we in the East will stand for the truth like we always do (which is the VP should by default will replace the President). Nobody in the East is ready to fight for anybody because of Nigerian politics.

So show some respect to the word Ibo Land.

Typical Ibo man doesn't know how to play the game. . . .you had a chance to mend all rifts with the Yoruba by supporting June 12. . . . instead, you chose to sit on the sidelines and laugh that the Yoruba are getting their comeuppance. . . . let us see what will happen next time you need Yoruba help. . . they will desert you like in 1966. Iboman loves to win the battle, but will never win the war. . . .you can never realise your dreams without working with others.

Big B1:
Start civil war by who?

What do you think will happen if another Southerner is denied Presidency like MKO? That one go pass play. All oil companies will burn overnight and the disturbance will spread to Ibo land. Nigeria better pray that Yar'Adua is fit enough to finish his term.

Big B1:
For some reasons, I truly do not think the VP has what it takes to lead this nation. He reminds me of a powerless secondary school Vice principal.

It would make more sense to re-do the presidential election; but this time around allow voters to fully control the out-come. No need to waste money on determining who is qualify to participate.

That one will start civil war for sure.

dayokanu:
I know of someone who said Sam Pam was better than Zidane So you are allowed to have your own opinion.

lol. Why you go bring Sam Pam into the equation? You want make Jackal computer short circuit with confusion?

davidylan:
but ordinary 5x6 - (87+5) and i'D be sweating like a he-goat.

lol. . . I guess your school didn't sing 2-12 times table like we did in primary 2.

Anybody that attended my primary 2 class must be good at maths cos we sang that every morning at class assembly.

^^^Yeah, I put that up. Scroll up a bit. At the time I put it up, BBC hadn't even finished writing the story, hence it say 'more to follow'.

Geniall:
Er, you may wish to look at that sum again, Ibime. 2+3x2 in a calculator will give you 8. Try it.
You already mentioned BODMAS.

hmmmmm. . . . why so pedantic? You know the point I was trying to make.

It depends on what type of calculator you are using. Casio, Sharp or whatever. Not all calculators do BODMAS for you. Some expect you to already know it. Some calculators bring themselves down to the level of the amateurs. Also depends on whether you put equal sign after each entry. You know wharra mean.

[center]Siasia Not Ripe For Super Eagles - Akande[/center]

Foremost Nigerian coach Niyi Akande has declared that Nigerian Olympic team boss Samson Siasia is not ready to boss the senior Super Eagles just yet.

In an interview with Brila FM, Crown FC tactician Akande stated that, although though Siasia has taken Nigeria to the final of two global soccer tourneys, he should not feel that it is now time to take over the Super Eagles.

Akande declared: "He should take things softly. He has done well in the Olympics and should be commended for his efforts. But he should not think that he is the best coach in Nigeria - he is not."

He feels that there's other coaches in Nigeria who are better positioned to handle the team.

Football administrator and ex-Nigerian international Davidson Owumi, meanwhile, has urged Siasia to exercise caution over the offers that will come his way. Reports suggest that teams from Japan and Malaysia are reportedly courting the boss.

Owumi said: "There are two things that make a coach. One, the coach must have very good players at his disposal and, two, he coach must be technically sound. Siasia is a good coach with a sound technical know-how.

"If there are no good players, though, what can he do? He should be mindful of taking offers and think twice on them. Still, there is no doubting it that Siasia has proved over time that he is a quality coach."

[center]Robinho To Chelsea Within 48 Hours - Kenyon[/center]

Peter Kenyon has revealed that he expects Robinho to sign for Chelsea "within the next 48 hours" after negotiations with the player and Real Madrid reached a conclusion.

The Blues' chief executive is confident that the Brazilian will complete his move from Spain by Friday after several days of reports and rumours that a deal was going through.

Luis Felipe Scolari has admitted that he wanted his compatriot to join him at Stamford Bridge after he took over the reins at Chelsea earlier this summer.

Robinho has told Madrid that he wants to leave after a string of events left him feeling undervalued at the Bernabéu and now he appears to have his wish.

Talks over a new contract for the Brazilian were delayed and then he was offered less than he asked for which did not go down well, but it was his inclusion as a makeweight in the bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo that saw him decide he wanted to leave.

The player's agent told reporters on Tuesday that a deal "was close to being done" and now Kenyon has backed up that statement by claiming that it will be concluded "within 48 hours".

Robinho was named in Madrid's squad for the Spanish Super Cup encounter with Valencia at the weekend but remained as an unused substitute, although he was jeered by fans before and after the match.

[center]Chelsea set to seal Robinho deal[/center] 

Chelsea are close to signing Real Madrid forward Robinho, according to Blues chief executive Peter Kenyon.

"Everybody expected negotiations to go close to the wire and that's what it will do but we're confident it will happen," he told BBC London 94.9.

"There are no hitches it's just a lengthy process."

sharp man:
So i still think that ANYONE can make a first class.

First class in what? Selling akara?

I have a friend who is a brilliant artist/musician but due to family pressure from Naija, he is studying business. When he was doing his module on Decision Making, I was teaching him how to do the mathematics involved. The guy cannot even do 2 x 2 in his head without using calculator. Even when using calculator, he gets it wrong because he does not understand simple BODMAS. If you give him 2 + 3 x 2, he will put 2 + 3 x 2 into the caculator (which is 5 x 2 = 10) instead of 3 x 2, then + 2 [which is 8]. How do you expect someone like that to carry first class?

My junior brother was also never brilliant in school. He only learnt to read at age 10 whilst I was reading at age 3 and my other brother was reading at 5. And even so, my mother is a teacher and used to teach us to read everyday starting with the Anglo-phonetic pronunciations of the alphabet. Yet it took my brother so many years to learn to read. My parents let him finish education after secondary school, then put him on apprenticeship scheme. He is now doing OK. If it was some Nigerian parents, they will force him to study and belittle him until he goes crazy.

Higher Education is not for everyone. Some people are happy just to be able to read and write and do arithmetic and they are OK in life. It is not by force.

well organized? u must have low standards for a paramilitary to consider niger delta militancy well organized. a well organized militant group would be similar to an hezbollah.

lol. . . . this brings me to my favourite quote from Wikipedia. . . . MEND is like Mahdi Army in this bitch.


MEND's evolving approach to conducting warfare has been described as "open source" [9], so called because it is analogous to the decentralized communal development process now prevalent in the software industry, making it extremely quick to innovate and move new technologies and tactics rapidly from cell to cell without the direction of a vulnerable leadership hierarchy.[10] Former Air Force counter-terrorism officer, technology analyst, and software entrepreneur, John Robb, in a Wired Magazine interview about the emergence of "open source guerrillas" alleged that MEND "doesn’t even field its own guerillas. They hire their experts and fighters mostly from criminal gangs and tribal warrior cults to do their operations." [11]
