Congratulations!

AloyalNigerian:
Hiii!

So, I've been meaning to do this since last year but I just kept putting it off. I'm sorry it took me this long to update everybody who contributed to this thread.

First off, I really appreciate everyone of you for your kind words and encouragement that year. It was just the motivation I needed at that time. I can still remember, clearly in fact, that night while I was in night class when Ymodolus freakied my account . I will never forget you and I really hope to see you one day.

I actually graduated with a first class last year (4.56) and the best graduating student of my department. I was really happy. Hold on. Before I graduated, I got a fully funded scholarship for my MS here in Texas and I travelled in January. God, y'all, and my first class helped me to secure that scholarship.

Even before I left the country, I was working in a 'mouthed' agency in Ikeja as an intern using the skills I learnt along the way. Last year was just so surreal for me. Everything happened so fast.

Well, now that I'm here in the states , doing my MS and enjoying every bits of it, I will say this: Whatever you find yourself doing, do it very well. First class or no first class, what life rewards is your tenacity, commitment, and attitude towards work. This is my experience, and I can tell you it's valid.

The journey is just starting for me and I intend to maximize this opportunity and put in my best to create the kind of future that I desire.

Thank you very much:


I hope I didn't miss any moniker

jerrisonjeff:

Yes because the key point is ro graduate b4 30 years.... If u graduated at 28years old and u didnt go for service mayb due ro money or work then u are now 45 years old and u are ready... Then u can still serve cos u graduated b4 30 years of age ..

They dont look ar ur current age but ur graduation age

Noted. Thank you.

kyrian0:

If you graduated at the age of 30 and above, the answer is no

What if I graduated before the age of 30, and then now I am currently over 30 years old, would I still be eligible to serve if I want to?

YoungLionken:


He's 12, JS1...

Okay, I would prepare an age-appropriate solution much later.

Where are my Gurus and Educators in mathematics?

My son is having a hard time in solving maths(I had a hard time in my days too, it is hereditary I guess )..

How do you calculate the maths below:

I am trying to see how I can proffer easy-to-understand solutions. But first, I need some clarifications before I can proceed; how old is your son and what class is he?

Vasgas:
I just collected my seminar topic which state " plant as an indicator for mining". I have Google it but I seem not to get the concept please anyone with related materials to it should help me. Comment Please
Thanks

Well, I would not speaking in any position of authority, as I am a student myself. However, looking at your topic, I could say a few things.

Firstly, I must say that your topic is an interesting one.
Now, certain species of plants grow in certain locations that are rich in specific mineral resources. For example, Brooks (1979), in his paper, critically studied 85 species of plants that grow in specific areas indicating the presence of minerals like nickel, copper, aluminium, boron, cobalt, gold, selenium, manganese, silver, uranium.

This technology of using plants as mining indicators is a great development for the mining industry, as it helps cut down the high cost of solid mineral exploration.

Please i just realised my problems in math and that why i always find math hard but i have already changed my mindset and i need a very self explanatory math textbook that start from the basic to the big guns



I need a textbook with clear out and easy to understand examples,great number of exercise as am going to do self study without any tutor.



NOTE: I know of the fact that math require consistency and practice but i also know that there would be textbooks that woud be user frendly (especially for someone that dont know any thing in math) and because of studying the textbook diligently one can make ¡A1 in waec and neco.


Thanks as i anticipate your reply.

I would recommend K.A Stroud Engineering mathematics. It covers major topics in O'Level mathematics and it is very easy to understand. With K.A Stroud, you wouldn't need a tutor to guide you. Good luck.

PS: Secondary school students can use K.A Stroud Engineering mathematics also. The book is so easy to understand that anyone can understand it.

Deicide:
Can some explain to me like a kid what Literature Review is?

Literature review simply means to review published materials that have provided valuable information to the topic of discussion you are working on. You can only write a good literature review after going through a good number of quality research materials.
I hope this helps

A warlord and emperor like caesar die of shock .. I doubt

His last words 'et tu Brute' give credence to the fact that he died as a result of the shock that even Brutus, his closest confidante, partook in the conspiracy.

wearsandtrends1:
SO YOU MEAN OVER 100 STAB WOUNDS DIDNT KILL THE MAN, BUT THE BETRAYL!!! That is literally Exaggerated bros

There were about 23 stab wounds actually.
How come he only died after receiving the last stab from Brutus?

Some scholars argue that Ceaser did not exactly die of the collective stab wounds, but rather died as a result of the shock, that even Brutus, a man he had trusted with all his heart, partook in the conspiracy, hence giving up immediately after saying those words.

Still searching...

Hello house! Sanu de aiki.

I am in dire need of a trailer driver that moves goods from Lagos to the north, specifically kaduna state.

I would be relocating to the North by month end, and I need help in transporting a fridge, a cooker, and a cupboard.

Please if you are a trailer driver, or you know any trailer driver, kindly reply.

Much appreciated!

Nagode!

Ojugunrege:
Through with your BSc now?

And did u get these books?

Hi Ojugunrege!

Long time.

I am presently in my finals. Covid wouldn't allow me graduate this year, sadly.

I didn't get the hard copies of those books though. I had the soft copies, so I resolved to printing just the chapters I needed.

How are you doing ma?

Taciturn1:
Good suggestion, but such a parachute may not work in a spiralling(as is likely to be) craft about to crash

True, at that point, the craft could tilt to any random direction. The design could be modified, or a completely different solution be provided, but something should at least be done to reduce air travel accident fatalities.

healthserve:





The parts of crafts are made from light metal aluminium has a relatively light density and won't create much damage ...also as the viscosity of the dismembered parts flow through the air the air pressure causes it's density tonfirtyer deduce hence its impact force dwindles four times it's actual density


I have many of such machine designs. If I find their rightht sources I am willing to share many of my designs for free

I see, it is a nice submission then. But it still exposes innocent people to danger, no matter how small

Brightgem:
Are you guys Nigerians? The debate or shall we say presentation from you all should be happening in a board room with multinationals.

Nice to know we have problem solvers.

Funny you. I am a Nigerian, I do not know about the others .

healthserve:



Sensors would be in place so the entire craft dismembers itself once there's an engine failure first the blade then the side doors and then the spring beneath the seat bullet shotos them 20 to 30 feet into the sky and then the wprachute spreads


This ideas were used in American movies in the early 90s . I'm shocked this engineering system hasn't been employed in modern craft. Althought Kobe craft is old sha


I can practically make a prototype of this helicopter design for the right price


Engineering machine design isn't a strange field with me

The entire aircraft dismembers itself? and where would these dismembered parts land? they would end up landing in different locations on the ground killing innocent passersby going about their businesses.

Just assume a helicopter blade disengages mid air and lands in a crowded place, then the heavy engine lands in another crowded place, then the doors land in another crowded place. it would end up causing even more commotion.

jaxxy:


This cud work.. Ur input is quite nice and probably one of the best approaches to a solution. That’s why I started the conversation to get the best ideas. I hope those in the industry will start to think more of real and practical safety than fancy bt unsafe choppers. Thx

Thanks, I really hope more would be done to make air travel more secure.

healthserve:




That's not how it works. The parachute will be caught in the blade. Ecah seat becomes an automatic parachute triggered by sensors. Immediately side doorsflal apart. The seats projects the passengers 20feet up before the parachute spreads it's wings and they can navigate to safety

How would the passengers be projected up without getting hurt by the fast spinning helicopter blades?

shogsman:

So you think a parachute can hold the weight of an helicopter with 8 person on board.

A heavy duty parachute would suffice. It may sound crazy, but with science, almost anything can be achieved. plus, the essence of the parachute is not to suspend the chopper in the air, it is rather to reduce the degree of impact on the ground.

It's only a suggestion though, Those in aviation line could look into it.
After all, hot air ballons could be used to lift really heavy weights.

jaxxy:


If there were people on the ground, the craft will still fall and kill people or wudnt it? The blade will still hit the ground either ways.

Bt ur observation it’s worth considering as zero fatality is the goal. I’ve suggested other ways this can be achieved in my other responses on the thread. Thx

If the blade disengages, it goes a different way, killing a different set of people, while the chopper would still eventually crash, killing another set of people. Leaving only the people on board as the survivors. But if the blades stay put to the chopper, a lesser fatality would be meted out on innocent passersby.

Parachuting the entire chopper would suffice, the parachute could be positioned in a way that the rotating blades would not affect the suspending ropes.

jaxxy:


Nothing is impossible. I’ve given it a thought. The rotors on malfunction shud be able to disengage and go off then a parachute launched.

Okay, and where does it land after disengaging? if the blade disengages, it would spiral fast to the ground, killing innocent passersby.

This becomes a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul, saving the people on board the flight and at the same time subjecting innocent passersby on land to danger.

We should look at how to parachute the entire chopper (with the people inside).

Nice gesture.
But why the gender bias? what about the male children?

Naijaboy1122:
Hello Nairalander Please I know this is not the right section to post this,I decided to post it on Family section and I believe it will Gain more Audience or Views. My Forthcoming Exam is coming up Buy March which is Jamb. I'm An Art student and the course I'm Going for is international studies and Diplomacy The Following subject are (ENGLISH which is very compulsory, CRS, GOVERNMENT And Literature) when Ever I read this subject I find it difficult to comprehend what am reading.i can spend like 5 minutes on one page trying to get the Definition but still can't enter my head, please Anyway Out??

I'm guessing you're preparing for UTME.
Get enrolled in a tutorial centre. You'd not only get the chance to be taught by learned professionals, you'd also get the chance to meet and study with like minds and intelligent students.

Etteanna:
Hello please Anyone got info on how I could get a scholarship in any country to study criminology I'm 20 years old and a female

For BSc in Nigeria, all you need is to find a way you could sponsor yourself through first year, then apply for any of these scholarships in your second year (SEPLAT, TOTAL, CHEVRON, FSB, etc) .
they would sponsor you till you graduate.

regards!

Dstar434:
Thanks man�

You are welcome man.

I was once like you, looking to upgrade my GPA from one class to a higher one. With believe and hardwork, I was able to achieve it.
I'm presently going to 500L, and all I'm trying to do now is to maintain my GPA so that it doesn't drop.

so you can too.

See you at the top bro!

Dstar434:

100 level: 2.32 and 3.41 respectively
200 Level: 2.34 and 3.52 respectively
300 level: 3.48 and 3.72 respectively
400 level: 3.29 and 4.04 respectively.
Thanks.

I can see you are determined to make a 2.1.

The good news is that it is actually very possible for you to make a 2.1, but you would have to do what you have never done before, you would have to get a GPA you have never gotten before.

basically, a 4.5 in both semesters of 500L would suffice, but you cannot gamble with that, so what you would do is, you would have to aim for a 5.0 in both semesters so that you would be on the safest side.....

dedicate all your time, all your energy, all your focus, all your strenght this 500L to your books, study like your life depends on it, let your relationship go on hold for now.

you would graduate with a 2.1.
