Hi @perky i also wrote the test. have you come across any recent update from them?

Pls let me ask you guys, is it possible for someone with no experience to get a job in the telecom industry cos I've noticed that most jobs that require graduate qualifications will still require a number of years of experience.

Pls the email address doesn't seem to be working.

rocketphysicist: Unfortunately, most of this jobs aren't advertised. They are usually insiders connection, cos I've never seen an advert for NASDRA or the satellite station.

Yeah, I get that feeling too. That's why I pointed out in my earlier post to build good professional network, because most jobs are gotten through referrals.

rocketphysicist: How many of these firms actually employ physicists in Nigeria?

I know in the oil and Gas sector, there's a field called petrophysics, there is also Geophysics. Physics grads. Can also work as field Engineers because basically you all be trained when you're employed.

In the area of Satellite communications, I know Physicists are involved. So you have organisations like NigcomSat.

For Space Exploration we have our own Space Agency, NASDRA. where physics grads. Can also fit in

Hospitals across the country also employ physics grads. as professionals in the area of Medical physics.

In the power sector physics grads. can also be employed as field engineers but you may need to undergo training.

I believe they are even more that I may not know of but what I feel you guys need to do, is to make that extra effort in understanding how physics plays a role in various industries and from there you would appreciate the course and have a clear choice of the career path you intend to follow.

NigellusHosan: As a graduate of physics what are the pros n cons..
What industries and opportunities are readily open to us.
Enlighten us a little

Sorry for my late reply. Was a bit occupied.
To answer your question, First of all I don't think there is any disadvantage studying physics. Because the training and exposure one receives gives you that limitless opportunity to participate in whatever area that interests you. some places where you could find physics graduates working include; Oil and Gas, Telecomm. Aviation, Medical Physics, Power Sector.e.t.c One thing I'll advice everyone out there is to work very hard in school, get good grades and Develop your professional network because it would go a long way in helping you.

Hello everyone.
Physics Graduate
University of Abuja

Here's the list.

Here's the list for both DSSC and SSC.

Hello House,
I've been going through the thread and I am pleased to see where I can get some valuable advice.
First of all am a graduate of physics and I have a post grad qualification (PGD) in Electronic and Telecommunication. I am actually looking for a place I can get some much needed experience in telecomms and am based in PH

Hello house, please can anyone out there help me with the question paper for the exam we wrote at Zonal Level. My email is nnannaokogwu@yahoo.com, thank you

nnesochim: Brigadier General/Commodore/Air Commodore,but lucky ones may cross-over to Maj.Gen./Rear Admiral/Air Vice Marshal.

Thanks, but if I may ask again, on a scale of 100%, how often do you think that DSSC officers get to Maj.Gen/Rear Admiral/AVM

Pls does anyone know the terminal rank for DSSC officers in the Military?

Anyim1234: dis rumours of NAF sms must be fake, all the candidates from Ebonyi state are yet to get sms. I will go to the NAF office tomorrow.

I am from Ebonyi State and I've got my txt message, since 10.25AM, so no need to cry foul. There lots of people dat will still get invited even if u don't get called. There's always light at the end of a tunnel, so cheer up!!!!

Its so funny how some people are trying so hard to refute other people's claim to have gotten text messages, anyway its all down to our dubious environment and the deep mistrust we have for one another.

Hello everyone, the messages has started rolling in, congrats to those invited. May the force be with us as we go forth to kaduna.

Some people clearly don't use their brains, what's wrong with a system that clearly encourages interest free business. If western Nations that are highly secular are practising this type of banking, what's the worst that could happen? Moreover the countries that practice this Banking system even had a better experience during the Global financial Meltdown (2008). My fellow Nigerians, if we are to take our rightful place among Nations, we just have to do our away with this prejudice towards one another, be it religion or Ethnicity. We have to tolerate one another and RESPECT people's differences. Cheers!!!!

Abeg which channel dey show the match

Uziehot: the secretary

Do you mean like a post as SSG

Xtaceeey: Weneva u see eagle anywia, jst knw its strength.. I dint even read tru, eagle = strength, Dignity in d questn na horse

I thought that aircraft question was F-16

Uziehot: Pls house, what is d name of the current nigerian airforce secretary (airsec). Thanks alot in advance. Pls i'm on a hot seat .

Do you mean the chief of Air staff?

This exam will probably be the most easiest exam I've ever written and quite ironically the easiest to fail as well. Looking back now I can confidently say the odds were against us, but the illusion that the questions were easy was quite difficult to over look. My reasons:
(1) Writing an exam under very stressful condition; remember we had to stand for hours under the scorching sun.
(2) The number of the applicants across the federation and as well our respective centres.
(3) The system they used ie (blue biro thing, one chance shading)
(4) The lack of order during the exam.....and finally
(5) The NIGERIAN FACTOR
But anyway most of this analysis may as well just mean nothing really, considering what we Nigerians go through on a daily basis and how we still triumph. Good luck Everyone

@ify4king
Thanks, I actually thought they said we should find the perimeters. Ma bad

@ ifyking

4(x+2)= 4x + 8.......(1)
3(2x)= 6x..........(2)

Let (1)=(2); since the two perimeters are equal

4x+8=6x
8=2x
X=4

Since x is 4, we sub the value of x into (1) and (2). Becos the question said find the perimeter of the triangle and square.

Therefore the perimeter of the square is 4(4)+8=24
Perimeter of triangle 3(2x4)=24
Q.E.D

@ifyking, the ans for no1. Is 24 not 4

Am a non-indigen, I got a white card and was selected for the interview, my friend whose an indigen got a blue card and also got invited for the interview. Basically it depends on the person who assessed you that day. Also I guess each table had a different colour for pass or fail
