Do a list of companies. Get their email addresses and send your applications.

You would do yourself a lot of good by starting the solution process and then post questions that may arise as you proceed.

Guitarlife:
Please what of me with B.Tech Elect with 2:1 and M.Eng Electrical Power Option (Ph.D grade) but I am not registered with COREN yet.

Bro, apply and then state that your COREN registration is in process.

Scam of the year

Alikote:
that what they do first bank thru their first capital,automatic roll overs at rates lower than stop rates.they credit u account with interest instead of discounted

I disgree with your claim.

preshOnogwu1:
Nice idea

@OP, Nigeria has paid lip service to STEM and that's why we are in this quagmire. Simple power issue , we cannot resolve. I have an excerpt from Dr Ogbonnaya Onu convocation lecture at the University of Lagos earlier this month. Then you would see that we are deceiving ourselves in this country.

honeric01:
Capital of which world? After more than 200 years on earth, yet no female president whereas we have numerous Muslim countries with female presidents.

So much for democracy lolz

Asides Indonesia where Megawati Sukarnoputri rode on her father's influence to become president and also Albania, give me another county with a large Muslim population with a female president.

@Johnydon, I big whiteboard.
I think there needs to be a reorientation of kids from secondary school about physics and science in general. Also, is there an association of physicists in Nigeria?

Owobobrown:
What about Nikola tesla

Na senior man be dat.
@Op let's do a list of scientists from Africa or Nigeria.

Benatia off for Bernat.

preshOnogwu1:
Philip Emeagwali is a Nigerian inventor and scientist. He has been living in the
United States for many years. He won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize ($1000) for price-performance in high-performance computing applications, in an oil reservoir modeling calculation using a novel mathematical formulation and implementation.

Abeg which kind Emeagwali. We have Dr Neil Turok who is still relevant and making impact through the AIMS project.

But Jesus was central to everything about Paul. Paul said that I may know him (Jesus) and the power of his resurrection.

OP, can u confirm if you visited any of the big supermarkets in Ibadan?

What supermarket did you visit? It is possible that the supermarket is registered in Lagos, hence the debit narration. If you are sure you did perform the 20k txn. Call your bank and you would be advised.

Bose was a don. I can't seem to believe that an Indian was able to achieve such dizzying heights in a field like physics. Just check his Wikipedia page. Owo meji fun eni kan.

@OP and Teempak, what do you think of Satyendra Nath Bose of the Bose-Einstein condensate fame?

Etfash:
Good evening people.
I have a situation. I completed the Tbills form at First Bank HQ in Ilorin today and made it clear that I was bidding for the Primary market of 16th. My account was however debited today.
Please pros, do I have any reason to worry?

All requests made till Monday will be debited in lieu of the auction on Wednesday.

Write to the state ministry of education. Also, do your personal bit to help those children for are the leaders of tomorrow.

Bookiemart01:
Wow. Thank you. I think i want the 365 days option.

Next auction should be on 16-03-2016. Visit your bank before 14th to do the needful.

clino:
I go with the bank rate. FBN does not allow u to determine ur own stop rate. Their worker I spoke with says I not the only one it happens to but all the people that bidded for 6 months tenure. So I want to know if it's a prob with the bank or with FG... Before I carry my money go another bank for TB as I actually enjoy using FBN

It is an auction, and in auctions your bid can fail if the rate you offer is higher than the stop rate.

A40:
After seeing highlights of the Juve v Inter game last night I feel a lot would have to go wrong for us to not get past Juve. That being said we would need to focus on Saturday, I would be ok with a draw tbh

I disagree, Juve rested more than half of it's squad. Please check the starting line up.

Bookiemart01:
Thank you. I?f I have 200,000 for instance and i want to invest in TB, What are the steps i should take

What tenor(period) are you looking at?. We have 91 days, 182 days and 364 days. The rates quoted by Sir Feelamong at 9:34 am are per annum I.e per year. As an example, 200k for 182 days at 7.57% is calculated as 0.0757*200000*182/365. Banks have a charge and there is custody fee and transaction fee. Over to you Sir Feelamong.

Has Nigeria's first astronaut been stranded in orbit on a secret space station since 1989?

Nigeria has actually never sent an astronaut to orbit.

Nigerian scam letters — also known as the 419 scam after the section of the Nigerian criminal code dealing with fraud — are a type of advance fee fraud. You've probably seen a few. The general idea is that you're promised a significant share of a large sum of money to compensate for your help. All you have to do is send a small up-front payment, which is needed to get access to the large sum. If you fall for it, the fraudster will usually invent a series of further fees or will simply never be heard of again.

Every once in a while, a truly glorious scam letter surfaces, like the one below claiming that Nigeria’s first astronaut has been stranded on a secret Soviet space station since just before the fall of the USSR, and money is needed to pay for a rocket to bring him back to Earth. Of course, his astronaut pay has been accumulating all these years untouched, so if you help him get back home, he’ll share some of his millions. It goes like this:

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde, Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.

Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number [number removed].
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde

Note how the scammer includes a link to Nigeria’s National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) for extra credibility. But anyone who looks into it will realize that Nigeria has never sent an astronaut in space. Oh, and the NASRDA was founded in 1999, which is 10 years after the astronaut in question went into orbit.

It also seems unlikely that a space station could be kept a secret in this day and age — but we'll keep an open mind.

Scammmmmmm

Do a Google Search for companies and send unsolicited applications to such companies.

Dr Hallowed is now a postdoc at Harvard; from Bangui to Massachusetts.

Make I PM you?

How far?

Benfica want 80 million Euros for Renato Sanches .

A40:
Who is this 18 year old midfield wunderkind they say we are eyeing from Benfica

Renato Sanchez. What would be the fate of Gianluca Gaudino and Pierre Hojberg?

lexiconkabir:
If i intend to lecture after my masters(in Bsc), is it a must i do PGDE or i can lecture without me being questioned for my PGDE cert.?

PGDE is not required for higher education teaching.

The answer to the question remains that a Bsc holder with an MSc and evidence of registration in a PhD field can get employed into the Assistant Lecturer cadre. I also posted a vacancy in State University to back my claims.
