Hi pals.
I'm a graduate of Nursing Science
( BNSc, RN)
I'm yet to serve though(nysc)
But the problem now is that I have
always nursed the idea of joining my
cousin in the Uk after nysc.
But of recent, they young man who
happens to be my constituency
representative (Federal Reps) came to
our house to pay a courtesy visit to
my dad. (My dad thought him in
primary six and registered him for his
first school living certificate exam,
because he was very brilliant. A
gesture he normally do then as a
young teacher)


So when he came visiting, he saw an
enlarged pic of my sister that was
hanging on the sitting room, he asked
my dad about my sisters whereabout
and my dad told him that my sister is
serving but about to round up (she
has now rounded up)
He told my dad to tell her to apply for
the ongoing police recruitment which
my sister has done.
He strongly promised to be of help.
In my own case, my dad told him
about me, my course, school, class of
degree etc.


He proposed a lecturing job for me.
He was too serious to meet whoever
that perfected the thing in a glance.
He called my dad yesterday that I
should go to the school and meet my
H.O.D.
I went to they school today and my
H.O.D.told me that I have been
approved to be a graduate assistant
after nysc or I should go for my
masters first and be an assistant
lecturer.


The issue is that I want to travel to UK
and make it big with my Nursing
degree.
I have not seen a lecturer that rides
Range Rover sports car and its like
and I want to be among the Range
Rover Sports guys.
WHAT DO YOU THINK FELLOW
NAIRALANDERS?

Here's my candid advice based on personal experience.

Come to the UK for your masters. Last I checked Nursing is on the shortage occupation list, so not all the stringent immigration rules apply to you. The company would be willing to and able to support your visa application if you intend to remain and work. But you have to be dutiful and intelligent!!

Don't listen to any words of discouragements flowing here.

Don't exchange words with anyone and defeat the purpose of your thread.


Ultimately, what is your passion? What do you think you would wake up in the morning and be happy to run to. I personally go to bed and dream about going to work the next day, that's because I love my Job!! And that's what matters to me. What matters to you?

The answer is:



Congrats Gaddafithe2nd, you're obviously the first among the 10%. You should be answering Gaddafithe1st and not the 2nd

First off, an equation always has two parts separated by the equals sign. That's the basic property of all equations.

There is only one equation from the question. The other two that seem like equations are mere what I'd call an 'incomplete mathematical expression'.

2 would be my answer.

Very correct. That is why iphones only have 3 modes, GSM, 3G and LTE. Even if u are on H+, iphone will display 3G. Good because it is straightforward, but I think it is also nice to be able to differentiate when u are on mere 3G and H+

Just put it this way

4G LTE is like a ferrari, designed to be fast while H+ is like a modified camry (3G) that has its conventional engine swapped for a v8 with added body kits for better aerodynamics. It would be faster than normal 3G but not as fast as a ferrari.

Interesting analogy, but spot on!!

greenhulk:


U are right, some networks call their H+ 4g or 3.5g.. too many terms that are interconnected. I think H+ is the bridge between 3g and true 4g LTE. Like I said in my previous post, I know mtn does not have LTE so what I'm getting is just an H+ but somehow pretty faster on my phone than I've seen on other phones. The mobile call their H+ 4g because they upgraded their service to almost match the speed of LTE .

There's some similarities between 2G and 3G architecture, however 4G is slightly different as the Radio Access Network is totally different. 3GPP standards remain 2G, 3G and 4G. The other interesting names are all industry terms to confuse us humans.

I stand to b corrected though.
Bt if u providing ur network for calling sms and d likes den u must provide other bands.


Now why did dey claim to b d fifth network?

Dats because spectran,smile,swift aint telecommunications network bt dongles.

As u can c, dia sim can b used on any fone bt can u use ur smile on a fone apart frm dia dongle?


So ntel is a normal network provider, thus provide other bands

Spectranet, etc you mentioned I believe aren't mobile network providers and hence shouldn't be brought into this discuss. Spectranet I know uses Point-to-Point Radio I.e. high capacity packet microwave system. They are Telecommunication networks as you call them BUT NOT Mobile Network Providers.

Based on these I believe your argument is invalid, and as I said earlier, If they don't have spectrum in the allocated bands of 2G or 3G they can't offer services on these bands.

I'm sorry but I couldn't quite comprehend what your message was.

Please, could you clarify?

barcaboi:

I don't agree with that tho u have a point.....I supply civil servants that basically eat the fish with garri and when it is too salted, that can't be possible and even dangerous

I believe I mentioned advising buyers soaking before using to prepare meals.

In the example you cited, no meals are being prepared and is only consumed upon purchase with garri as a supplement.

Regards.

@OP
Here's my humble suggestion based on my very little experience.

Make it heavily salted then advice buyers to soak before using to prepare meals. This would probably preserve for a longer time as fishes are quite very perishable.

I've bought a few outside the shores. And this was how it was being sold.

Goodluck!

Bro, a company offering 4g doesn't mean it doesnt offer other bands.


Dey ar jst telling u dat dey ar capable of delivering 4g network.


So even if naa touch light fone u use, it will work wit ntel.


All network must offer d very basic network band.
I.e
GPRS
Edge aka 2g
Umts aka 2.5g
Wcdma aka 3g/H
HSDPA aka 3.75g or H+
LTE aka 4g bt mind u, dia are different bandwidth within 4g network
So if ur download speed aint up to 12mb/sec
Den its a fake 4g network e.g Swift and spectranet are fake 4g network dey ar actually 3.75g isolated

I want to correct a notion here that alot of people have been making. There's this misconception that all 4G providers must natively provide legacy 2G and 3G service. This is generally the case but isn't a hard carved rule.

Each of these services 2G, 3G or 4G requires spectrum to be purchased which costs a lot of money. This is regulated by NCC.

If NTEL have not purchased any bands in the 2G/3G spectrum according to 3GPP standards, then they cannot support that service.

Right question now would be, has NTEL been allocated spectrum for 2G or 3G? This is something I don't know about and hence can't make comments on.

I hope this is clear enough.

linearity:


I will agree with you on that, based on the theory...looking back LTE-A was supposed to be the true LTE standard and 4G, until the marketing folks and powerful Telecom providers put pressure and water it done, hence 3G or 3.5G technologies like HSPDA+ were re-braded as '4G' leaving the true 4G aka LTE hanging, which eventually calls for LTE-A, with nothing but the original LTE specs.

Current papers calls for 10 MBS on 5G, but my guess is, when it come to actually 3gpp final formulation industry giants are going to exact pressure again to water it done and as such, we will end of getting something that is called '5G' but with LTE-A speed, which was the original intended 4G.

Standardization work have started on 5G...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G, 2020 is the expected first rollout and not standardization start date.

Standardization has already commenced. I made reference to rollout.

We would never have same speed as 5G. There are trails confirming up to 1Tbps in 5GIC labs already.

5G architecture is similar to LTE-A. The difference is that 5G would witness the combination of several technologies like small-cell densification, wave-form combination, a new carrier wave (probably FBMC) and Massive MIMO.

This would offer users the perception of Infinite Capacity!!

Now there's no comparison to 5G!!

I forgot to add, 5G is touted to be 1000 times faster than 4G. How practical this theoretical target is? Only time will tell.

Xz

linearity:


Those test results are very poor and disappointing for a lightly loaded LTE eNodeB and if you think that is an indication of the speed you will get, I have a bridge to sell you.

Total capacity at his eNodeB is shared, if only one subscribed is connected, he/she gets the total available speed, if two subs are connected, the speed experience to both is degraded according, now when 100 or more people are sapping data from the same eNodeB, they drive the speed to a near standstill.

On a 20 MHz channel, LTE calls for about 100 Mbs down/ 50 Mbs up....LTE-Advance aka 5G tops this up at 1000Mbs down/500Mbs up,

Nigeria telecoms should implement technologies that offloads data from their UMTS micro cell to specialized local devices like WiFi, Femtocell, metrocell, etc.

LTE-A is not 5G.

5G is yet to even be standardised.

Target dates for 5G is in 2020. There are still so much researchers hunting down potential standards for 5G, eg 5GIC at University of Surrey, Huawei Technology and some Universities in the US as well as some companies in Silicon Valley.

This result is debatable on many levels.

First off, the issue with broadband in Nigeria has always been the last-mile connection I.e. The connection between your home router /antenna and the network access device which then connects to the core network. Imagine a tap running so fast (100Mbps) being connected via a straw (5Mbps) to empty a reservoir (2Gb of YouTube or Netflix or some Server). How long would it take you to empty this reservoir? Exactly!!! The straw has reduced the speed relatively and would take less time if the tap was connected directly without a straw.

In Nigeria, the underlying copper infrastructure remains and would need to be upgraded to a better material, (most likely fiber) in the core network. This would increase the tap to (1Tbps) and if taken by same straw, the speed would relatively increase to say (70Mbps) over the last mile.

There you have it. I just solved Nigerians network problem in words.

Hope my figurative explanation helps anyone not technical to understand better.

A friend of mine shared this post of Facebook and I tot to share it here as well...

In her word......, "The guy in the background is David Cameron, prime Minister of Worlds 5th Largest Economy.... Flying to Portugal in "Easyjet" one of the Cheap European airlines for Family Holidays (19-AUG-2015 )....Food is not served in Airline.. PM was seen eating Pringles .."

Now how many of our own leaders can live this kind of life of humility. I mean, we were colonised by these people. Where did we get it wrong.
There's so much in the news about outrageous proposed budgets, spending what we don't have, borrowing from these same people to cover cost of our exorbitant expenses. Most of top government officials don't even know what an economy class looks like, ok maybe that's an exaggeration. But I bet you get my point.

Guy, save ur rants. Let's be realistic. Power generation from our generating stations are still not sustainable, so wots ur point?

My point is that you spoke out of ignorance. Power generation has not been sufficient (not sustainable, poor choice of words by you again) for a very long time. To meet the demands of Nigeria at least 10000 is needed and not 4900 that was achieved. Even if 10000 is generated now, there isn't a suitable transmission and distribution network infrastructure in place.

Seunaj05:
Sorry, I don't take anybody talking under the influence of APC serious anymore. (TCN) just said it has generated 4883.9megawatts, WHEN THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IN MY AREA IN ILORIN HAS GONE FROM BAD TO WORSE in the past few months!!!! These ppl just take Nigerians for wot? Mugu?

Please I assume you speak from ignorance. Power generated at GENCO isn't sent to your area until it has gone TCN and the distribution DISCO. TCN has nothing to do with Generation. Probably, the distribution transformers in your area are faulty or something else. Don't debunk news without having right information please.

Daniel058:
1Gb means 1 Gigabyte. . U hear? ?

Read before you quote. I said front page, not topic.

Mr. MODERATOR. The title on front page is deceptive and wrong. Its 1Gb not 1G. For once I tot we they were offering first generation mobile services on some interesting package please correct this.

Mr mad man..shekau doesn't pray to ALLAH !!
Got it ??

How do you know. Do you have any proof? Have u seen or heard him pray? Are you God to know who prays to him? These are objective questions, no intention to target any form of religious bias. Just a response to your comments.

I think the ref was a Tad bit bias.

I brought up Nyquist theory, trying to explain what I do, not for arguments,,, I think in summary, I gave you a bit of crash course on signal propagation with a bypass of Laplace transforms using cosine and sine functions with differential equations, am sure nobody will ever teach you this in school,,, thanks for your time

Why do you choose the path of throwing words at me? You don't know my background in this field. I don't know yours as well. We had an intellectual argument because of a statement you made, nothing more.

Why this Please?

goldfish80:
This is nairaland, what we do best here is Sacarsm , a little bit of tongue-in-cheek here and there. I've been writing digital frequency code for the past 4yrs which is nearly always discrete-time signal processing. now here, the thing to remember about is that periodicity in one domain implies discreteness of the other. These uniformly sampled signals have a spectrum that repeats every multiple of the sampling frequency,,,

What's the bone of contention this time? I already proved my point. We could argue about something else though, But right now I'm Not sure what we are arguing about. Sampling Theory? Shannon Theory? Nyquist Theory? Harmonics? Sidebands?
