Power BI's strength is in it's dashboard function. That's what I know it for. Excel time don pass. Na old cargo.

We run Cognos on Excel using Perspectives add on. Power BI and Cognos is just for finality. Las Las, na still Excel and SQL be the brain of the whole operation.

Victornezzar:
Are you a Data Analyst??

Not in the classic sense but all finance professionals are to some degree.

odizeey:
Advanced Excel. Hmm. I know that for anything you want to do with Excel as pertain data analysis you can use power bi for it, which is way suitable. There is need o.

Power BI is more of a compiler for analysis of final results. We use Cognos for reporting but Excel for manipulations.

I stand a chance to be appointed in the near future but honestly, I'd be too ashamed to be associated with Ayade's government but then again, whether or not you accept the appointment, it Cross River State money they're still flexing...

Go and chop jor. Although bare in mind that SA is not all it's cracked up to be financially unless you have a special relationship with the purseholders. I have a friend who left UK to do SA job in Bayelsa, who is back in UK and still asking for guarantor signature for his rent contract with his landlord.

Ibime come and see something.


This man is a Prof o.

As if Akwa Ibom has not taken all their oil Wells.

Within a couple of months, their allocation will be similar to Osun. Those SAs will drink garri.

pamcode:
@Ibime is Simbi an Ijaw name? Or better still is Simbi wambote from Rivers State?

He is from Bayelsa

BlueRayDick:
But they claim none of the 121 COVID-19 cases in the country has resulted to fatality, could this be the agbo at work or they still being lucky yet?

Covid takes time to kill. It does not start to kill until thousands have got it and enough time has passed.

Germany only had like 3 deaths in their first thousand, now they are dying like fowl

BlueRayDick:
Anybody seen this madagascar's claim for COVID-19 cure/prevention drug yet?

What do we make of it?

Agbo.

No different to the herbs we drink and inhale back home.

All these things have some benefit

I saw some of your posts regarding voodoo and I am a not satisfied with it cos I have used voodoo during my sec school days.

Agbaya. This one has been a cultist since his secondary school days.

Son of wickedness!

Diabetes is the highest risk factor for Covid-19. . . just saying

This is how Covid will hit Naija, same as Ecuador.

People will just die and be buried.

I wonder why people bother checking those NCDC stats, as if they can capture even 1% of what's going on.

NCDC is just window dressing as every Govt must do to give the impression they take the thing seriously. In a country like Naija though, Covid will just run unrecorded for the most part.

Wrong. Lagos is not VERY DEPENDENT on oil money.

Let’s take last year breakdown for example, from Jan to Dec last year, Federal allocation to Lagos is 152.4bn while Lagos generate 205.6bn in SIX MONTH ( Jan 1 - June 30).

PHIjo is right. When oil revenue disappears, a lot of those tax revenues will also reduce as those companies rely on oil revenue also

larride:
Winter is here.

Now is time to ditch any expense except food and shelter cos things go rough.

This is why I said Naija Govt must allow people out on the streets to make their daily hustle. We can't afford lockdown at all. While Govt revenue has disappeared, 95% of Nigerians do not rely on that but on the informal sector. Allow these people to go out and make their bread to limit social disorder.

BTW, as to our old argument as to distribution of palliatives, see how UK Govt keeps database. 1.5 million people with underlying conditions received a letter telling them not to go out for any reason even shopping. They call it shielding. My brother in law and popsie received the letter 3 days after Govt announced it. They simply mined their health records and sent the letter with speed. See wetin Govt dey deliver them weekly so they don't have to leave the house. I go still need to dey supply swallow and soup ingredients to my popsie sha, cos I know he can't stomach this.

Quite a sobering read. Naija done enter am


#COVID19Thoughts: TSUNAMI LOADING ...

If you are a state governor in Nigeria and you are not already working round the clock, night and day, you are playing with fire. Red-hot, napalm FIRE!

Here is your reality. Bonny Light (Nigeria’s crude oil) is trading at about $11. This is half the cost of producing the barrel. Even at that price, Nigeria is not able to sell her crude oil. She has tens of millions of barrels of crude oil in scores of vessels cruising the seas, like a gala seller in Lagos traffic, looking for customers. No is calling; no one is buying. Nigeria is offering a $5 discount per barrel but who will buy when U.S. shale oil is selling for $2 (and no one is buying that either). Nigeria has other bigger challenges because it does not have onshore crude oil storage so she has to put her oil on vessels. In the last week, the cost of renting the vessels doubled to $350,000 per day. Do you see the picture?

Clearly, this has to be the lowest the oil price can fall, right? Wrong! Over the weekend, Canadian oil hit -$3. Not $0; minus $3. They, too, are not selling. Why? China - the factory of the world - is running at a fraction of its capacity. The airlines are shutdown. Farms and factories are shut down. Many analysts are saying that the world may not get back on its feet for a few more months. In reality, we may be stuck in this new world until a vaccine is found for the novel Coronavirus and a major percentage of the global population vaccinated. Unknot your tie, we may be in this new world for a while.

Mr. State Governor, why should you care? The world as you know it has changed and nothing has prepared you for what you and the residents in your state are about to experience. All state governments except Lagos depend on allocations from the sale of Nigeria’s crude oil for most of their revenue. The Federal Government allocations to the states started dropping off a few months ago. It will get worse.

About a month ago, I had a chat with one of the State Commissioners for Budget and Economic Planning. At that time, he was already petrified by what he was seeing. The cheque from the federal government was getting lighter. Sadly, he couldn’t get his principal and colleagues to understand that what they saw moving in the distance were not clouds but a Tsunami that is gathering speed. Many of the state governors still can’t see it.

Mr. State Governor, the catastrophe is close at hand but you still have some time to lay the sandbags. This is the time to get into emergency mode and plan for the worst. What will you do when it becomes obvious to you, in a few weeks, that you can’t pay salaries and provide the basic minimum public services required in your state? What are the economic choices you have to make today? What things do you have to cut off today to be able to tide over tomorrow?

What will you do when hordes of criminals take to the street, looting and killing people, in search of something to eat? What if there are multiple demonstration by different groups of people in different parts of your state? What are your options?

Who are the people who would help you maintain public order? I am sure you are not banking on the Nigerian Police Force. They won’t have enough bullets to kill the number of people who would be on the streets. It can’t be the vigilante groups. They may be the ones doing the looting and killing. Basically, how are you going to balance this elephant on the top of a needle?

Set up your “war-room” now. Pull in your best thinkers. Borrow from other states and outside Nigeria if you must.

Reach out to everyone who has a voice in your state. Your best solution may be to convince the people instead of through coercion. Decide who is in the best position to convince the different groups of people.

This is no time to be partisan. Turn this problem into a shared one. Don’t let anyone brand it your problem.

Plug the leakages in your system starting with the “security votes”. Call on the illustrious sons and daughters of the state and convince them to join you in planning for and in funding palliatives for the poor and vulnerable.

This is the time to plan and act. Act as if you are convinced that the dam will break. It is more than likely that it would. If it doesn’t, you are still ahead. If it does, you will be ready. Don’t be caught napping. It won’t be pretty.

afrodoc2:
See clean up.

All those religious studies lessons cancelled just like that.

Wetin I miss?

BlueRayDick:
Afrodoc2 Is this true?

Seems dem Pastor Chris kinda conspiracy theory derail this guy life o

Although I can remember clearly around that 1999 there were a lot of stories flying about the world ending on the even of the new Millennium, Y2k bug, etc.

I remember those weekly magazines always dedicating like a page to interview one pastor or the other. There was a particular church then that asked it's members to withdraw all their money in banks, sell their properties and do give away; so that good deed will be recorded for them and they will enter paradise once the world ends as prophesied by their pastor.

I watched what would have been this guy's final game live in the stadium. It was the 1999 Cup Winners Cup final between Lazio and Mallorca held at Aston Villa stadium. I lived near there at the time and my mate got tickets. That was my first ever stadium match as well. The guy was shaking like a fishth throughout. Vieiri was a beast that day. Na that day I respect Vieiri. Salad was shyte. Lauren played midfield for Mallorca and played well also.

Each culture around the world has its own set of gods and goddesses. And those entities are higher beings that designed humans, animals, microbes, plants, planted gravity, created religions, science, politics, and set the foundation of all the parts of the human life on this planet when earth was still at its infancy.

These entities are all aspects of God Almighty, just like everything else in existence is.

Scientists are moving close to achieving the feats of those gods and goddesses. Space technology, design of man, plant, animals, gravity, etc. all are important activities to colonize a planet, like the ancient gods and goddesses had done, and these will be possible in the future as well.

Scientists are learning these things fast today.

Space science, eugenics, AI, machine learning are paving the way...

Do you think people just woke up and started inventing Allah, Yahweh, and thousands of other gods and goddesses in religions?

Our planet has played host to different species of living things, including man-like creatures (gods and goddesses), giants (nephilia, anakims), dwarves (Hobbits), etc.

gensteejay:
Fables have power? Lols. Where did I say so.

No be you talk say these guys practiced Magia and science is yet to catch up to them?

gensteejay:
Faulkin (called Jesus by Christians) was an adopted son of Yahweh, who taught him magia, among other things.

Faulkin also learnt a lot of magia from Eshu in Yorubaland. As a form of reverence or devotion to these deities, Faulkin was given a new name, Yeshua, which was formed by combining Yahweh and Eshu.

gensteejay:
Other than the Bible, there are other books that explain the Tower of Bable incident. I feel the event really took place during the era of past human species.

Tower of Babel story, Noah story and many of the Genesis stories are copied from Dead Sea Scrolls. The Jews only know their history from Abraham onward, who migrated from Turkey originally. Anything before that is the same old fables that have spread around the Middle East and Mediterranean for centuries in other religions.

As long as man has been alive, he has been creating fables.

What weak me is that you thought these Fables had some power.

gensteejay:
Can anyone explain how Eshu came about at the center of Yeshua? If you can't, then no need to delve into things you know next to nothing about.

I would have thought all these things strange as a religionist, too, years ago. Not until I read wider (especially, after going through a book written by a Costa Rican guy) did I learn how names (words) are formed and how to trace most names to their roots.

That's essential knowledge (history) for one's enlightenment.

Many tribes swap stories and add other people's fables into their own. Just like Benin people copied the one true God Fenibeso and created Shango, which Yoruba people also copied. Igbo then copied Fenibeso to create Amadioha

You must be joking if you think these Gods actually existed in anything more than fables. Just like the Jews copied the Egyptians and added their own spice, Mohammed copied the Jews and added his own spice.

However I highly doubt that Yeshua story travelled as far as Yorubaland to create Eshu. And on the remote chance that it did, it's just one Medicine doctor retelling a story he heard from a traveller to sell to his people. These Gods are human creation and have no power or "Magia" as you call it.

Because of similar pronunciation in different languages, see as Religious Conspiracy theories dey spring forth.

Now I see why they said different languages caused confusion during the building of the Tower of Babel

By the way, which mumu wrote that Tower of Babel story? The author really believe say God dey fear say skyscraper go reach am for heaven

Melvyn11:
You never stop displaying your ignorance. I have tried to refrain from quoting you but I just can't help set you straight. Yeshua, simply means "Jesus" in Aramaic. Yeshua was written as"Iesus" in Latin which was pronounced something more like "ye-sus" and thus we have "Jesus" in English. Guy stop typing trash all to be woke.

We all know Yeshua Anglicised to Joshua and Romanised to Jesus means "Saviour".

I'm not sure how it migrated to Ife to become Eshu.

Griffon ain't like them nah.

Griffon came with some Bill Gates conspiracy last week and I responded with some harsh words. I apologise if my response was harsh.

Unlimited22:

But I thought Atlantic Canada was warmer than other areas like Say Manitoba and Ontario.... The territories wey dey up na another thing altogether

I no know jare. All I know of Nova Scotia, I learnt from one old novel like that. E be like say the wind and waves dey high for that place.

Anyway I don't see Airmark living on an Island since he no sabi swim

Swissh:
How did you figure it out? I didn't even know the answer until you mentioned it.

Pretty simple. The key was Trezeguet and Zidane. They didn't play for many clubs so it had to be either a France player who played for Real and Milan or a 1990s Juventus player who also played for Milan when Ronaldo and Zlatan were there. Zambrotta also fits the description.

timbros:
I just read about the shooting in Canada.

Airmark please indicate you and your family are OK.

Stay safe bro.

Airmark can't be in Nova Scotia. You want make cold kill am?

I swear..... I do scroll past his Post with speed of Usain Bolt.

His posts always contain a poignant verse. Instead of getting to the poignant verse and communicating personally with his own introduction, he will just copy and paste the whole chapter causing people to miss his message.

Greatihex, you preach to people, not at them
