The camp opens on tuesday but i want to leave on monday due 2d fact dt am comin 4m Oyo state!

I can just imagine how excited you are. The distance from Oyo to Enugu is less than 8 hours. Set out early on Tuesday; you will definitely get to Enugu before 4pm. If you chose to leave on Monday, you will definitely meet camp officials ready to welcome you.

Enjoy this great experience. Have fun!!!

Goodluck to you.

Be diligent in your duties - Big things may come in small sizes. Your being diligent at your workplace might land you that dream job tomorrow. Your place of primary assignment may be a secondary school, but the principal of the school may be the wife of a well connected fellow. Just be good!

I was shaken this afternoon when i went to Wuse Market. I could not believe my eyes; Wuse Market has gone back to the pre El-Rufai era. Streets have been turned to market...wares scattered around. Touts are now the order of the day. Yet, Bala Mohammed was recently conferred with a National Award.

Where is the dude that posted the FCT good governance tour pictures. He needs to take a visit to Wuse Market and see what the Market has turned into.

Why protest because of 15k increment? If truly our students expect to get good education then they should be ready to pay more.

Nnamsco4real: Mtcheww! Why am I bothered about this health news of this woman? If the govt is not willing to talk something on this matter, then screw the whole stories. Nonsense, this will never change the price of Garri or groundnut in Abakpa main market.

Price of gini? my hand no dey o...

Walahi i'm tired of all these speculations...since the Presidency kept mute, then i care less!

Quick recovery madam Dame! We miss you, please come back home to your kids.

zeefa: Mr man, can you compare the facilities there with what we have in Nigeria. Common, don't be nutty! Try and visit d white man country and see how things work accordingly.

Mr Man, you are the one who is nutty here cos you failed to understand my point. We are not talking about how things work or don't work. My point is clear, we can also host our debates in the University community. When we do this, then our leaders will appreciate the academic community. Students will also be happy to see their future leaders seated and drilled! #just_saying!!!

Nice thread!!!

What Do Statisticians Do?

The world is becoming quantitative. More and more professions, from the everyday to the exotic, depend on data and numerical reasoning.

Data are not just numbers, but numbers that carry information about a specific setting and need to be interpreted in that setting. With the growth in the use of data comes a growing demand for the services of statisticians, who are experts in the following:

Producing trustworthy data
Analyzing data to make their meaning clear
Drawing practical conclusions from data


Examples of Statistics Careers

Medicine

The search for improved medical treatments rests on careful experiments that compare promising new treatments with the current state of the art. Statisticians work with medical teams to design experiments and analyze the complex data they produce.


Environment

Studies of the environment require data on the abundance and location of plants and animals, on the spread of pollution from its sources, and on the possible effects of changes in human activities. The data are often incomplete or uncertain, but statisticians can help uncover their meaning.

Industry

The future of many industries and their employees depends on improvement in the quality of goods and services and the efficiency with which they are produced and delivered. Improvement should be based on data, rather than guesswork. More companies are installing elaborate systems to collect and act on data to better serve their customers.

Government Surveys

How many people are unemployed this month? What do we export to China, and what do we import? Are rates of violent crime increasing or decreasing? The government wants data on issues such as these to guide policy, and government statistics agencies provide them by surveys of households and businesses.

Market Research

Are consumer tastes in television programs changing? What are promising locations for a new retail outlet? Market researchers use both government data and their own surveys to answer questions such as these. Statisticians design the elaborate surveys that gather data for both public and private use.

What Is Statistics?

Statistics is the science of learning from data, and of measuring, controlling, and communicating uncertainty; and it thereby provides the navigation essential for controlling the course of scientific and societal advances (Davidian, M. and Louis, T. A., 10.1126/science.1218685).

Statisticians apply statistical thinking and methods to a wide variety of scientific, social, and business endeavors in such areas as astronomy, biology, education, economics, engineering, genetics, marketing, medicine, psychology, public health, sports, among many. "The best thing about being a statistician is that you get to play in everyone else's backyard." (John Tukey, Bell Labs, Princeton University)

Many economic, social, political, and military decisions cannot be made without statistical techniques, such as the design of experiments to gain federal approval of a newly manufactured drug.

Job Characteristics

Use data to solve problems in a wide variety of fields
Apply mathematical and statistical knowledge to social, economic, medical, political, and ecological problems
Work individually and/or as part of an interdisciplinary team
Travel to consult with other professionals or attend conferences, seminars, and continuing education activities
Advance the frontiers of statistics, mathematics, and probability through education and research

If you enjoy any of these, a career in statistics may be right for you!

Statisticians provide crucial guidance in determining what information is reliable and which predictions can be trusted. They often help search for clues to the solution of a scientific mystery and sometimes keep investigators from being misled by false impressions.

Adolite: They Failed to Dualize ABUJA to LOKOJA for many years now.....WHy celebrating what they have not completed yet, they always start but they dont finish, stop praising yet.

What about University of Abuja Students of this University are still studying under trees.
I visited Idu-Karmo (a suburb in FCT) last week...the journey that was suppose to take about 15-20mins from Jabi lasted over 1 hour due to bad road. They should tell us something else joor.

PhatIon: Mr. Idmanzik: I really appreciate people like you; who look at life objectively, don't think that other people's success is a threat to them, who do not even mind assisting or encouraging other's success and who would not try to undermine first class honours degree holders because they're not, but actually appreciate them and wish them well. I didn't know you before now, but I believe that you have a great potential for success in you by virtue of the fact that you're not angry about other people's success. Like I said previously, I didn't know you before now, notwithstanding I have one great prayer for you straight from my heart, it is: MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOU VERY SUCCESSFUL WITH WHATEVER CLASS OF DEGREE YOU GRADUATED WITH (AMEN).

PhatIon, thank you very much for your prayer. I pray you also be among the top 100 in the PRESSID scholarship. God bless you!!!

The info on GEJ rejecting the initial list is correct. I was at NUC on Monday and heard a Head of Department saying that the President even insisted that if two or three candidates from the same family is among the top 100 then so be it.

Well, congrats to you all. I have been following this thread even though i am not a first class graduate

The Vice Chancellor of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Prof. Cyprian Onyeji, who was kidnapped on August 15, 2012, has been released. Onyeji was released at about 11:30pm in Anambra State. He was left by his kidnappers at Igbariam area of area of Anambra State.

He was reported hale and hearty when he was released and has since been reunited with his family. The police in Enugu State confirmed his release but did not give details. Onyeji was abducted from the ESUT gate as he was going to his office by gunmen who later called his family to demand for a ransom of N200 million. It could not be confirmed if any ransom was paid before he was released.

Enugu State University of Science and Technology

Ten gunmen on Wednesday abducted the Vice-Chancellor of Enugu State University of Technology, Prof. Cyprian Onyeji.

The VC was abducted at 11.30a.m at the school gate as he was being driven into the main campus of the institution.

Four of the gunmen had apparently been lurking in a rickety car parked at the school gate, awaiting the VC’s arrival.

As soon as they sighted his two-vehicle convoy, the gunmen used the rickety car to block the gate, jumped out and started shooting into the air.

Six others appeared from nowhere and attacked the convoy.

They shot and deflated the four tyres of the police van escorting the VC.

A policeman in the escort van who tried to resist them was shot while the gunmen dragged the VC’s orderly and driver out of the car and drove off with Onyeji in his official Honda car.

Some of the gunmen also jumped into a car they had parked at a motor park at the school’s entrance and drove behind the VC’s car.

Prof. Cyprain Onyeji is the right man who has brought back sanity to ESUT. I can deduce from the punch news that this has nothing to do with a cult group.
Prof. Onyeji may have stepped on toes while trying to sanitize the already battered "ESUT image".

Remember few months ago, over 500 illegal students (students who obtained admission through back door) were expelled from the University.
He also arranged with the police and army to get rid of cultists in the school, thanks for the support of Governor Chime. Over 100 students of the institution denounced cultism, those who could not bear the heat went into hidding.

ESUT held it's 14th convocation after over a decade thanks to Professor Onyeji. The man also instituted scholarship for deserving students with a Cumulative Grade Point of 4.00 and above. These and many more are the achievements of Prof. Onyeji in less than 2 years.

Success they say have many enemies, his enemies are at work. My prayer is that he comes out ALIVE.

@OP, unfortunately WAEC GCE form is no longer on sale. NECO GCE form is not yet on sale, so you can try your luck.

violent: My advise for you will be to learn to stop typing in text speak. Nothing is guaranteed to spoil your grammar faster than the frequent use of wrong words-- "Am ashamed of myself" should really be "I'm [/b]ashamed of myself" --- or the use of shortcuts.

Study good articles more often and write as soon as you have something in your head to write about.

You have only afew choices available to you right now.

a) Stay determined, get the GCE form and give it a good shot again.

b) Give up, learn a trade, become a Barber, a Carpenter or a Bricklayer.


Choice is yours. Think of what will make your parents proud and give you a better future.

Funny enough the OP failed (D7) English Language. @OP, see the bold in your post, you may unknowingly have used abbreviated words in your WASSCE English Language. You have to take corrections.

Now more reasons to weep because i missed first class by very little margin. I wish you guys the best. I heard only 100 would be selected at the end. Well done guys! See you at the top. Please don't forget your roots o

usermane: During my 200l as an undergraduate, i nvr missed an examination,but i missed several tests.

Once, i had a test(40 marks) on a thursday by 7.00am. After reading from 2am to 6am, i slept off. Guess what?..i slept 42 mins into d test. I woke up about 7.42am and ran out of my room in my pyjamas without evn brushing hoping to meet up with at least 5mins only to see my mates returning from the test.

I was devastated,i felt like crying. God, i have thrown away 40% out of 100% so easily?, how on earth am i going to make up for this loss when the pass mark is 50%.


I met the lecturer few days later after persistent urge from friends and lied to him that i was sick. Evn though,he didn't know i was lying,he refused to give me a make up despite all my pleading.


There was another test i missed when i went to d venue 4pm not knowing d test(20 marks) had been shifted to 3pm. I got to the venue and met my course mates discussing how easy d test was.
Sadly and quietly i left d venue and went 2 my room to console myself.

Haha...Pele.
I can't remember missing any test, but can still remember how i almost missed an exam in my final year. It was a very cold morning and the exam was scheduled for 9am. I stayed in the University Hall of residence back in school. I woke up very early that exam, did all necessary stuffs and was ready to leave to hostel at about 8:30am. Then this heavy downpour came...i concluded that exams won't commence until after the rain. At about 9:20am, a friend called to inform me that the exam was already on. He lied to excuse himself just to place that call to me.

You need to see how i ran for about 1km not minding any obstacle around...

So stupid of a University of 52 years (apologies to my lions and lionesses).
Why should such materials be printed outside the University community?
UNN is big or old enough to have their own printing press.

Abeg make them free the 23-year old boy joor. Have they arraigned all those useless lecturers that sell grades?

Naija for show!

donpeluchi: The system aint working!

Gbam!

passionate88: most states school does that... I am not so sure about federals..

Federal schools also do same...top on the list is University of Nigeria Nsukka. Instead of selling result checking cards, why not include the cost of the card in the form.
