This is a question you should have asked at 200 level.
I wonder why courses relating to computers are even offered in Nigerian universities.

I don't get you. can you explain more? I'm referring to " I wonder why courses relating to computers are even offered in Nigerian universities"

Pedagogue:
Well-tempered words.

You studied in "another government university". Does it have a name? I expressly mentioned OAU cos I'm forever proud of dt great citadel.

You see, OAU is not just another govt university!

My grouse is with a 'funny' comment that Covenant is better than OAU! It is laughable. There's, for now, no basis for comparison. My job spec makes it impossible for me not to understand d standard of our uni's. Although no Nigerian Uni deserves any special commendation, there are 3 or 4 Uni's that still churn out good grads.

I'm still waiting for that boy's reply.

Hey Pedagogue, I'm usually impressed by your posts and factual analysis of events. Can I know those 3 to 4 unis? Thanks. God willing, if my children are to school in Nigerian unis, it's either Ife, UI, Unilag at best.

[quote author=Ahmedie28 post=46866242][/quote]Hmmm. Again, I have my take on that but I'd leave my answer to another time.

Once more, those are exceptions and they come far and in between. For this Kano guy, there are more than 20 southerners that achieve similar or greater feats this year alone.
Moreover, Cyprus is not so strong an academic nation. Which Cyprus university is in the top 100 in the world?

I'm presently in the north and I was opportuned to invigilate "Introduction to Nuclear Physics" test at Kaduna State University for final year students (400 level). Despite that I could have easily solved the questions in my year 1, the students were all out to cheat because they had nothing upstairs. This shows you the wide gulf between north and south.

How many CEOs of multinationals and top companies are from the north? North has a long way to go if it's to meet the south

Nija babe spent 4-5 yrs in high institution, what the hell is left to be married?


most guys knows so many things and what they have done to them in school, that's is why 99% of guys wouldn't even risk their life time joy for 2mila let alone N500,000.

Learn they won't learn, when the know very well that at the end, everything dawns on them.

I don't quite get you. Can you please, explain again? Thanks

e dey pain u as u dey hear northerner abi? Eyyah pele o

It seems you don't understand. I'm saying the north still has a long way to go. I'm glad he's a northerner as I'm a Nigerian first before my tribe. Jelani is an isolated case. Do you now get my drift?
My post is only to serve as a motivation for the north to also achieve more. We can't keep mentioning Jelani 20 years time. We need more achievements. God bless Nigeria.

jegz25:
A Hausa man from sokoto is the best car designer in the world..check his name Jelani Aliyu

The joke is on you northerners. Is Jelani the only northerner? At every slight opportunity, Jelani, Jelani, Jelani. It's almost every other week you hear of Yorubas and those of the Eastern extraction making groundbreaking feats. Jelani is an old news but Deji Akinwande was awarded the highest US presidential research this week. We agree, Jelani is good. He designed only a car - Chevrolet Volt. What of those that designed the thousands of other cars including Bugattis, Rolls Royce, Camry and thousand others?
Please, Jelani is the exception rather than the rule for northerners and even at that, what's his connection to Nigeria again? When last did he visit the country? Does Nigeria derive any benefit from him?
How many northerners are captains of industry? The north is a disaster waiting to happen if things continue this way. Boko Haram, Maitsasine and the other riots are a pointer to the inglorious living there. I have nothing against the north. It's only a wake up call for the whole Nigeria to develop evenly so less beggars, shoe shiners, destitutes and other dregs of the society should come less from a particular region.

Ahmedie28:
Stop showing your ignorance online, Mallam Jelani Aliyu that design electric car is a Northerner

For every one Jelani, you'd count scores of southerners

Amoto94:
Ever heard of Jelani Aliyu? Go figure out where he's from and shut your mouth up. Talent is abound everywhere North, South, East and West.

For one Jelani of General Motors, 100s of Yorubas and Igbos can be called. Aliyu is the exception rather than the rule

Good morning,

My service year experience.

The desire to help people around me had being in me since my secondary school days, then we were asked to write an essay one 'My future ambition', I wrote that I wanted to become a Philanthropist ( I took a clue from a Northern Alhaji who helped the needy). My teacher didn't score me, only checked my M.A, sentence structure, corrected my grammatical errors........... She was probably expecting to see me write Lawyer, Doctor, Engineer, etc like the rest did (I was in SS1, Science Class).

I was sad that she didn't understood me, but glad she didn't mark me wrong.

So I began to help people one at a time, ranging from kind words to sacrificing my lunch......

University days still, I continued...... though my finger got burnt severally.....

The first thing I did during my service year was to take up the call to resume at a rural camp with no good road network, electricity, nor GSM network (MTN came the month I concluded my service....... thanks to them)., despite being the only corps member posted there (a female for that matter).

When the State Coordinator and my L.G.I knew this, they wanted to relocate me but I said no........ (Why?)

Getting to the school I was posted ( the only school in the community), the student rally round me as if I was a President, some were shouting Corper while others were shouting OLOPA(police)............

I could no longer request for rejection letter, which my boss was willing to give because of my gender........

Instead I asked for my accommodation......

I cultivated over 1 hectare of cassava plantation, proceeds from which was for the argumentation of school fees of children of the displaced people from Northern Nigeria who came to the community.......

I constructed animal husbandry section for the school.

sensitised the community members about Ebola, Tetanus, and Breast cancer....

trained students on production of Liquid soap, Izal disinfectant, and 3 months fashion designing........

I donated bottled liquid soaps to community members to mark hand washing day

donated disinfectant and bed spreads to the Local health center.

constructed a bus stop for the community....

all these above are among about 21 documented projects I did......


some of the undocumented ones are below

I sowed father Christmas costume for the school Free of Charge

Took the children on excursion to the state capital's Radio Station to participate on a program for students......( these children's smiles and joy I WILL NEVER FORGET)

I had the best service experience...........

Thanks for making me recall them...

My best is yet to come......

I STILL WANT TO BECOME A PHILANTHROPIST!

HAPPY SUNDAY.

I left out names of places and locations on purpose....... you know SOCIAL MEDIA PALAVA..... LOL

adejaresalami1:
LA cram LA pour noni.....brilliance to me mean being innovative, I had a 4.7cgpa in my OND buh I knew I was not brilliant coz I could not relate what am studying with what's happening around me. Well sha the guy broke a record which has to be celebrated ....not hating.

Does OND use a 5 point scale?

Thanks for your concern. Are you saying we shouldn't bring our laptops?

Kelechi2020:

Ditto I

Kelechi2020:
Guys any news yet? #stillonwaiting?

I was told they'd get back to me today the result of the video interview as at when I submitted it then. What stage are you guys now?

cc dunsiunchanged

Kelechi2020:
,


I concur @stressful....I used the montage tool though It was horrible, cut my video at 1:25mins.....waiting for results by 17th February....

did you later send them the mail?

I did according to your suggestion. It was when I sent a mail that I was instructed to produce the video - in less than 48 hours. Gosh. Waiting too though I'm not extremely positive but hoping sha! My intro and branding video answers were both a minute and some seconds

Other applicants in the house??

Kelechi2020:
thank God you got the video link,preparing for that video was kind of stressful....

did you use the montage capture tool or did you record offline and attached?

Yes, it was really really stressful. I recorded offline and attached as my system microphone was a little low making me almost inaudible. What about you?

Kelechi2020:
thread deserted.... what is up guys?

I submitted my video response today a few minutes to the 12 noon deadline.

Kelechi2020:
did the interviewer tel you whether you passed or not??
what's the name of your interviewee ??

send him a mail,they reply swiftly?

It was a female. I think I'd wait till Wednesday before sending a mail or what do you think? Thanks

I haven't received any video interview link. No reply yet

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

dunsinunchained:
Went well thanks. Twas more of qs about the role and if I am willing to relocate as u said. I still have another by 1:30.. Mine was split into 2. Guess she'll tell me about the video Interview then. Have u received anything from them?! Thanks

I haven't heard anything from then. How long was the first one?

dunsinunchained:
Thanks alot

So, how did it go?

dunsinunchained:
Hi bro. Was supposed to take mine yesterday but I was late. Was lucky to get another date which will be today 9:30 gmt. Any tip on the qs you were asked?! *

why Cisco?
behavioural questions
Are you willing to relocate?

No brain teasers. Watch that video link in the invitation. 9 30 GMT is 10 30 Nigerian time. Log in 10 - 15 minutes earlier to set up the WebEx platform. Best of luck.

I've done the interview. How about you?

Mine was okay (8 30 GMT). How did yours go and what were you told further. The recruiter said I'd be making a video next if successful.

cc dunsinunchained

Why must all our artistes date light skinned girls. it's so annoying.

spafu:
We are still in the era of suspension and sack.
Will he also have been suspended/sack if his name were Adebowale or Abdullahi?

His middle name is Olu

ocheejemb:
One is a scam. The other is verifiable.

Olukotun is verified, right?

plagiarism

I've read this somewhere else. The op couldn't even reference the source. It's a really nice story though.

rationalmind:
I'm sure you weren't taught that during you psychology classes

I wasn't taught as well, perhaps, I need not be taught.

The point is, employers don't care if you're taught or not. They expect you to have a good idea about what you studied and anything that relates to it.

And lastly, the question of blue screen is not the core of Computer Engineering. You must think repairing and fixing computers is what it means to be a Computer Engineer.

Can you re explain this your final paragraph? ThanksI
