i know of a Sociology graduate that is working in one of the oil companies in Nigeria.

Try using VB 6.0 or .Net

yes, i support it. it is done in other countries.

Please, lets try and accomodate each other. no e-fighting please!!. Shell is for everybody whether oil and gas engineers or accountants and Economists.

HND Elect/Elect, Bsc Industrial Mathematics; very good courses; and you still don't know how to create a job for urself?? Please don't say that again. You can proceed to do a Masters if you fel that would help you to get a job; but my advice is create a job and stop wasting ur time looking for someone to employ you.

@Babyosisi

Is it true that you have a Bsc in oil & natural gas science?? I have never heard of that course before. Where did you study it?? Is it done in[b] PTI [/b] Effurun - Warri??

babyosisi:
shell is about oil and natural gas.
Try Idiroko grammar school

Haba!! Babyosisi i thot u were more intelligent than this? are you saying that statisticians don't work in oil and gas companies or what?? Is Statistics not a branch of applied mathematics?

dominobaby:
@ishmael, why are you taking this thing out on B.sc peeps like this. I noticed this in some of your posts.

Because they make too much noise and claim they know more than HND holders in Nigeria; but they have never done anything to show or prove that their Bsc is better than HND.

where does an industrial chemist works . what about his master course.

They work in schools. They teach students chemistry and chemistry practicals.

Go get a PGD and later do your Msc. mathematics is actually not too easy. Kpele o!!

What does the kaaba really stand for or signify in islam??

That is what muslims believe; it's in their Koran.

@ishmael,

The Apocrypha were not regarded as inspired Scriptures all through the histories of the Jews unto who were committed the oracles of God (Rom. 3:2). So, the argument that they were inspired Scripture does not arise at all.

If they were not inspired scriptures so how did the apocrypha itself get into the Bible in the first place?? and why were catholics who were regarded as the earliest or first set of christians using it??

pilgrim.1:
@ishmael,

Before you post any argument that makes any sense at all, what do you know for a certainty as the Bible?

The Bible is the word of God inspired unto men (Prophets and Apostles) by the Holy spirit. But why reject or remove some inspirations?? It does n't make it complete at all!!

babyosisi:
bellotti,ok.
How are you ? .
We rear goats too,lol

Goats?? one of the most foolish animals God created.

pilgrim.1:
The books in the Catholic Bible which you do not find in the KJV, NIV and several other versions are known as the apocrypha, and are not part of the canon of Scripture. Evangelical Christians and Jews have never recognized them to be part of the canonical sacred Scripture.

So where did the apocrypha come from?? and why was it rejected?? Why didn't they reject the books of 1&2 Kings and 1&2 Chronicles or 1&2 Peter?? Is it not God alone that has the right to add or remove from his sriptures?? Does man have any right to remove or add books to the Bible?? Why is it that it is the protestants or non-catholics that rejected those book and not Catholics demselves?? Or are you saying that the Catholics added those books to the Bible by themselves??

Some books are missing in KJV an NIV which are found in the Catholic Bible. The Catholic Bible has more than 66 books.

TCUBE:
u have every right to live in any part of the country be u xtain . muslim or traditional.

Not true. In Nigeria it is only said, but never practiced.

LoveKing:
are you bini?

Tamuno eh!!

greateeeeeeeeeeeeee nigeria student, am very gla to here this from this forum, enough gbosa for you all, though all the same to me, even matematics or computer science,
presently am a student of the great lasu, lagos state university, studing computer science, 300 level, thanks for your encouragement. greatest nigeria student oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You bin dey sleep dey type all these?? why didn't you bother to check the spellings?? pally remember you're in LASU, Computer science 300Levels. Haba!!!

Yes, there is no much difference between computer science and Mathematics. If you must study mathematics you must be ready to know about computers and if you must study computer science you must be ready to do mathematics too.

Forget about the grade you graduated with. I for one i don't believe that all persons that graduated with 3rd class are dull or not good enough; the same thing applies to all persons that graduate with 1st class or 2.1 & 2.2, not all of them are intelligent. just believe in urself and my candid advice is that you shld take your mind away from looking for a job, rather be thing of creating a job for urself. You read a very good course , Computer science; iexpect you to do something with the skills you have except if you don't have any skills in you kpata kpata.

Computer science is good, but i think Mathematics being the father of Computer sciences is better.

How does all these translate into being the giant of Africa?? What is Nigeria's GDP rate today?? Unemployment rate nko?? A country that could not conduct a credible census to determine how many its citizens are, you call such country a giant?? Election nko?? Was it at least 25% credible?? i belive SA is the giant of Africa for now.

babyosisi:
even here in America you'll be teaching and teaching is a noble profession for crying out loud.
We can't all be "getting rich quick" can we?

My sister; teaching in the US and Europe is a noble profession, but in Nigeria teaching is a frustrating profession; that's exactly why i said "not in Nigeria", because you will be teaching and earning peanuts with all the maths and analytical skills you posses.

johnpeace:
sometimes i feel unhappy by the way people of Nigeria think or do things. You don't need to tell discourage anybody not to study mathematics.
Personal i am presently an ND student of computer science contemplating on either Information technology or Mathematics as per direct entry. so, if you don't like the subject, that doesn't mean that another person will not like the subject. As for me, there are two things i love to do: inventing new ideas in mathematics and teaching mathematics.

No body is stopping you from going to get a Degree in mathematics. get it but don't remain in Nigeria, else you will end up teaching people the same way you were taught; may be in a secondary school if you are lucky.

Computer science is good. But if you want to be more analytical as some one has said already go for MATHEMATICS/STATISTICS or PHYSICS or EE Engineering first, before doing a Masters in computers you will really enjoy it.

For long i have not heard anything about the educational reforms. Are polytechnics still going to continue their normal ND/HND programs??as or are they going to start running ND/BTech programs from next session?? Any news?? because everybody is silent about it; even the education minister that carried out the reforms i learnt she has gotten another appointment in US abi na UK sef.

hi, i'm from buguma too.

aik.mamah:
in the UK where we got our education system from has for more than 2 decades now converted all their "polys " to degree awarding institutions. MIT in England 4 e.g now awards B tech. so also is it in India, Are we more industrilised than these guys or more knowledgeable, well the answer is no, but they have made it possible for different poeple to get to the peak of their career while taking different ladder, if those we learnt from have seen the defcency in what they sold to us why wont we ? both HND (B tech to use the supposed term ) and "degree" are important and they are for different purpose each should be used well, afterall some of us with "degree" can not confidently defend the so called " degree" it might annoy you be we all know the truth! how many fine Art graduates with a degree from any of our "unis" can match an OND holder of the same profession from YABATECH ? yet we dey claim !RUBBISH !

Well said bros.

may his soul rest in peace, amen.

No, I think you need to create your own job:

There are times when I need the services of a statistician, but I don't think I can afford one on a part-time basis.

Then employ one on a full-time basis.
