Google the price of the Hoka Bondi 9 that Llaykorn was asking about. Dynafish is same price but twice as good.

@ Llaykorn, gun to my head, if you can only get one shoe, I will recommend the PUMA Velocity Nitro 4. It is one of the very lightest (about 230g in a size 10), the most comfortable medium stack height shoe, versatile enough for everything from walking to speed runs, the nitrogen foam feels like a dream, the price point is the lowest, and cheaper even than some Chinese premiums and since it's a brand name, you can wear it to social events as well

Thank you so much for this final recommendation. Your first reply was so detailed I had so many choices and was going to start reading reviews one by one, this just solves it.

Easy 10km run down at lunchtime. First time running in Li ning Red Hare 9 Ultra which Chinese say is one of their top 2 super trainers and they didn't lie, legs still feel fresh.

Have you tried the Hoka Bondi? How do you think it might compare?

Dear nairalander, I need your help.
I got an admission to UK school through PGCE as a physics teacher and It has been confirmed that I am eligible to 29,000 pounds bursary which will be paid for 10 months installment by the UK government (2900 per month). Now the school that offered me a place based on the bursary reduced my initial deposit from 50% to 25% which is 4000 pounds, approximately 8m naira. The school is starting tis sept 2025 and I have to pay the deposit by May in order to process my visa. The problem now is that I don't have 8m to pay for deposit. Please if anyone knows where I can get loan based on this I will surely pay back as soon as I start collecting the bursary or any other information on how I can go through this will be appreciated. This is a golden opportunity and I don't want it pass me by.

Bro. I sent you a dm. We're you able to fix this?

Hi TheManOfTheYear

I really enjoyed reading about your experiences. I hope things turn really really beautiful for you. I'm an aspiring web developer too. I just started studying React with the fullstackopen course and I'm totally glad about what you're doing.

Heartlessbanker:
bro,why is programming always synonymous to web development here in Nigeria? One would want t learn how to code,but ya'll will be directing BIM to web development.

Tensa had a great reply. I will add that the web development route to learning programming is still a very good route even if you don't plan to become a web developer. Javascript is a language that is no more limited to web applications, so learning to code in Javascript is valuable as a programming language outside of web development. Besides, going the HTML/CSS then Javascript route is completely interesting for most beginners as you can visually appreciate what you are learning.

And Javascript seems to be one of the easiest languages to pick up, when we ignore its many quirks. (Python seems to still beat JS in this regard, though)

Hey bro! I checked my earlier posts and saw this and figured we've been doing stuff together for a year now. How well are you surviving?

A very important thing to do when you memorize lists or definitions is attach everything to a clear graphical image in your memory. A long list could be turned into a movie plot and you should revise by playing the movie plot out in your head. For example, I had to memorize a list that contained these: primary shaping processes, machining processes, joining processes, surface finishing processes....

So I started with a workshop and the first thing I see is primary school kids shaping metal in their uniform. That's primary shaping process. Beside them, there's a man on a machine yelling at the kids. Machining Process. Farther down, there's a man yelling at the kids to be fast, he wants to join the metals they shape together, and that's for joining processes and farther down the workshop there's a.....

This is the method of association. You don't just try to memorize words. Everything should come with a picture, a movie plot, something you can imagine.

In another example, I had to memorize this. "A functional layout is used for batch or moderate production. It specifies the path for group technology and it is used for maintenance operations of the non-reputitive type. The breakdown of a machine does not stop the production process.

Now I'm in a jeans production workshop. The machines are arranged in the fucntional layout. On each machine, there's a batch of of jeans on one side and on the other side a smaller batch to stand for moderate. There are complex paths between the machine arrangements and this stands for "specifies the path for group technology". A worker calls out to another worker to help repair his radio and the other one tells him to never bring the radio again. This stands for "maintenance of non-reputitive type" and one of them laughs that when his machine breaks down, the radio owner won't help him and finally he reminds them that "machine breakdown does not stop production process".

This seems like a complex idea, but it's actually very easy and interesting to use. I've memorized long boring lists, definitions and the likes this way and reproduced them sequentially. All I have to do is to follow the images in my head, the pictures, the movie plots and produce whatever I attached to them.

A memory champion explains how this works in this TED talk. Please watch it.

Don't ignore this. Try it out. Ask me questions if you're confused about how it works.

You're crying for Biafra and you're helping people to migrate to Canada. God bless your hustle!

Help there, I'm a graduate of unilorin 2005. Please I need you to answer the following questions for urgently as I've been tying to get through to a niece of mine..

# has the second semester exams commence? When did it commence and when will it end?

Thanks.

The exams have commenced. Not for all, though. The 100 and 200 level students who will be taking CBT exams will start theirs today and will end by August 17. Those who started earlier will end theirs earlier. Maybe a week earlier. Most of the final year students are close to the end, however.
