Some of you are just stark illiterates walking around the cyberspace constituting nuisance. Where in your wikipedia link did it showed that it wasn't Anambra that won the 2017 edition? That aside, do you know that I can edit the same wikipedia and put your name there?

I asked you to give us a news report where it is stated that the countries you earlier listed won the 2017 edition but you went get us a wikipedia link. You are just dumb and should be banned for spreading your dumbness all the place.

Ode! Your argument is so weak. I have been following the competition for the past 5 years and know better than you. Nigeria did not win it. There are other sources too. This is another link

You don't need to cry and spit everywhere with saliva with your lengthy cry of sorrow. Just post a link to buttress your own point and stop the unnecessary cry for mercy.

If you were open and wanted to see what the truth is, you would not cancel out what I wrote. Don't you have internet in your house?? Or you think the only use of the internet is for abusing people. Anyway, let me give you the wikipaedia page where you can read about the whole history of the World Schools Debating Championship right from 1988 when it all started till 2017. You will even see a table of all past winners and other award categories and Nigeria has never won "shishi" in the history of the competition.

Moreover, have you ever seen any Champion without a trophy? Educated foooooooool

The answer is wrong then. Not everything you see in a book is correct.

Governor Obiano has handed out the sum of 1million as reward to the victorious State Debate Team from Indonesia and two pupils of Anambra origin who scored
highest in this year's Federal common entrance examinations.

Governor Obiano gave out the sum when he received both groups during yesterday's State Executive Council meeting held at the Governor's Lodge, Amawbia.

The Anambra Debate Team comprising 3 students of secondary schools in the State, won the just concluded World Schools Debating Championship held in Bally, Indonesia where 53 countries participated.

Each of the students received cash prize of 100,000 each while their two coaches got 150, 000 each.



Also during the meeting, the Governor received two pupils of Anambra origin who scored 189 out of 200 to emerge tops in this year's Federal Common Entrance examinations.

Miss Chinazom Onubogu aged 10, who hails from Obosi is a pupil of God's wisdom International School, Nnewi while Miss Chinecherem Emeka-Egbuna from Ichida, aged 11, is a pupil of Tendercare International School, Nkwelle Ezunaka.

Both of them received the sum of 50 000 naira apiece, secondary school scholarship and University scholarship subject to their performance, while their schools got the sum of 150, 000 each.

Announcing the reward, Governor Obiano who commended the students and pupils for the laudable feats attained, said his government will continue to reward distinguished achievements that bring honor to the state.

The Governor who said it is a thing of pride that Anambra pupils came tops in the National Transitional examinations, noted that that it simply points to the quality of education offered in schools in the state through the support of his administration.



He encouraged the students and pupils to continue to excel in their various endeavours, reminding them that with hardwork, belief in God and their ability, the sky is their limit.

Earlier, the Commissioner for Education, Professor Kate Omenugha said the achievements bear eloquent testimony to the fact that the state education sector under the present administration is moving forward.

Responding on behalf of the debate Team, Miss Precious Chigozie thanked the Governor for recognizing them and supporting them to garner international experience in debating by sponsoring them to the World Schools debating Championship.

In their separate remarks, the pupils, Miss Onubogu and Miss Emeka-Egbuna who shared their dreams of becoming important persons in future, said the Governor's appreciation will spur them towards greater achievements in honor of the state.

The pupils were later presented with medical books by the State Ministry of Education in support of their academic ambitions.

It is such a shame that this report is fake. The writer could not even spell "Bali". How can they win the World School Debate Championship and not get a trophy? Well, just to set the records straight, this year's edition took place in Bali, Indonesia and it was won by Singapore. England was second. The Nigerian team did not even make the semi final talk less of winning it. South Africa and United states were the semi finalist in the competition. This is a big lie and it is such a shame. This is not to take anything away from the students that represented us. Well done to them.
Moderators should always verify things before moving to front page so that the public will not be fed with falsehood. Most senseless Naija bloggers have already pasted the fake news with their usual copy and paste.

afo7219:
Pls guys help me solve this calculation wit explanations.
Alhaji bello has 36months car loan of #50,000 @ 12% interest rate per annum. What is the MONTHLY loan repayment?

There are different ways to solve this but let us take a simple approach. Since the interest rate is given per annum, you have to use years to solve.
36 months is 3 years. Number of years = 3 years.
Let us now calculate his interest
I= PRT
I= 50000* 12/100 * 3
I= 18000
The interest is 18,000 naira. So, the amount he is supposed to pay for the whole 36 months will be 50,000+ 18,000 = 68,000 naira.
This means that he is going to pay 68k back for the 50k he collected.
Since he is going to pay 68000 naira for 36 months, he will pay 68,000/36 every month and that will be #1,888. 89k.
Every month, he will pay #1,888.89k

Okay. Will solve it today.

Aybalance:
sorry for that .i think i need 2 improve on my writing but anyways it is 4/3 and every thing is "a" not 9.if it is still unclear ,i could post the questions again .thanks

okay. I will solve . I am on the road.

Aybalance:
pls,i also need help on this simplification.thanks in advance

You need to write out the questions well. Is that a raised to power 4/3? Your a also looks like 9.So, write out the question properly so I can solve.

hello,i really need help with this question.An isosceles triangle of sides 13,13,10 is inscribed in a circle.what is the radius of the circle.anybody? Tanks in advance

You did not give the units for the dimension. So, I will assume that it is in cm. The radius of the circle is approximately 7.04 cm. See the solution....

ElectGINeer:
How do I integrate 3^x log 3

Here is the solution.

@MissTechy. Saying that you get 32gig on paper and 23gig is not true. I cannot believe that you are not being objective. Some apps have been pre installed on it hence the reason for this and if you do not like them, you can uninstall them to get a higher ROM.

Moreover, the battery is the bomb but you failed to emphasis this. Just one charge will last you the whole day on moderate use. If the phone is switched off and charged, it can go from 0-100 in just about an hour and the xpen is awesome.
The selling point of the infinix note 4 pro are the xpen, xcharge, battery and the premium design. The sand stone black is so beautiful.

wman:
About the size, you are mistaken. The phone is smaller than most of the new Infinix phones. Screen size takes account of the screen alone and not the extra body of the phone. Your infinix has extra part at the top and bottom. This phones is the first bezeless phone in the world after the S8. Apart from the screen, there is no bezel at the top or bottom. You have forgotten that your dear Infinix Note 3 has a screen size of 6.0". And that is not even taking the extra bezels into consideration.

The phone is actually handy.
Every other phone in the world has extra space at the top and bottom of the screen.
The phone is bezeless. It has an infinity display so there is little or no extra space on top like all other phones. It is the first bezeless phone in the world after the Samsung S8/S8+

As for the battery, LG, Motorola, HTC and other premium smartphone makers use the same battery capacity or even lower for their phones. Their phones are well optimized to consume battery power minimally. Battery tests of the S8 showed that it performed well. Not to forget that people that buy these phones aren't the types that suffer from NEPA wahala. They will likely have generator sets in their homes. And they will have other gadgets like laptops, ipads and co. Not the typical Nigerian that spends all day on his phone because that is the only gadget he has. His phone is the only means for watching movies and playing games.

Lol. Okay. Not a phone of big sized phones anyway whether note 3 or Samsung s8. No matter. How you look at it, 6.5 inches is too long. Your other points were well noted.

Lakeside79:
I sir am not a bandwaginist not do I suffer from crowd mentality as you are subtly implying

The fact reminds Nigerians at some point we're I live with the transsion gimmicky marketing of substandard garbage phones
But trust me the novelty is long work off . After seeing high bike quality devices at the same price , using them and seeing the difference, no one needs to be told that class speaks for itself .

So transsion can rent out hotel lobbies ,, hire skinny models as much as they like to launch more garbage branded by foreign football clubs.. from now till eternity

But if transsion doesn't start making standard devices , using good build quality parts instead of looking for quick money as they have been doing over the years , the market share will share will continue to drop

I know the entrance of real competition into the Nigerian market like Japan's freetel and Googles ICE 2 are giving them sleepless nights .
But the funny thing is when a brand is used to delivering quality they should have no fear should they ?
But alas transsion has been selling dung to Nigerians in the name of smart phones and Turning around to still Rip us off in the name of parts not being available at carlcare .

But that ship has sailed , shitfinix, shecno and laitel better up their game or watch the already dwindling market share evaporate .

Nokia, Samsung , HTC, Xaomi, Lenovo, blackberry , Moto , Nexus, LG, pixel, freetel and co are real Android phones ..

Shitfinix, shecno and laitel are nothing but low build quality garbage

So don't take this personally, and don't get insultive

Let me reply this because you made some vital points. One thing you must know is that when it comes to mobile phones, there is nothing like sub-standard. The standard is relative based on the user of the phone. As a computer scientist, I need a high end phone because of my applications and all and that's why I use them. Some other kind of people may not need such. Phones should be bought based on one's needs. If you read my first point well, you would have seen that I clearly stated that infinix and co make low end, affordable smart phones. I said "low end" and not too bad based on their pricing and functionality. They have not even started using Snapdragon and the company says they will start soon. So, this isn't a competition between the brands and you need to cut them some slack as they have a target market and based on the multiplier effect and because that target market of theirs have the highest number is the society, they will sell far better than Samsung phones. This is more like a marketing common sense. The low end kind of their phones make it affordable and not just that it is affordable, it is also functional. That's the point I am trying to make.

I said you seem to be part of the bandwagon because you do not seem to have any criticism for this device but if infinix had released a phone with a 3300mah battery in 2017 ,you will be quick to call it crap but cannot criticise this one for such a poor battery and the battery ratings on the infinix series aren't fake. The 4 pro comes with a 4500mah and lasts almost 2 days with a charge of less than 2 hours. That's commendable. Also, this Samsung is 6.5 inches. Isn't that too long for a mobile? That seems to be a design flaw. What's your take on that?

Lakeside79:
Wow do you believe the garbage that comes out your mouth ?

Off course you will pass after all you work for transsion holdings that sells use shekno and shitfinix phones ... Cheap poor bike quality mediatek powered garbage phones .

We don't criticize them because we hate Chinese or transsion ,no! We criticize shekno and shitfinix phones because they are over priced garbage phones best given as disposal phones to prisoners , andYou guys cheat Africans by selling these cheap built garbages with fraudulent marketing gimicks and claim market focus .

Small wonder why the Chinese government can't let you guys sell those rubbish in their own country.

And you dear criticize Samsung battery at 3300mah

Wow the guts you have ! Shekno and shitfinix are notorious for marketing phones with battery at 10,000mah
Yet the real battery capacity won't last beyond a 500mah battery.

Your specs are fraudulent, you claim all sorts and deliver rubbish !

Your devices aren't even Google certified, you don't even have real Google updates..

Please don't ever speak your rubbish phones and the likes of Samsung, Huawei, Nokia, HTC , ZTE , Xaomi and Co in the same sentence

Your phones are garbage

Kiss the truth

When you are ready to talk in a meaningful way, quote me and state out your points. Moreover, if you were not blind you would have seen where I said that the Samsung phone is worth buying because of it's cool features and pointed out two glaring flaws which your myopic senselessness "bandwagonism" won't allow you see.

Lakeside79:
Now that's a phone worth getting ..

Not someone showing me infinix hot 4proor hot 5 garbages

Smh

I wonder how much this will cost

You guys are just usually unnecessarily critical of the innovative infinix. You buy phones just to say you use phones. This phone is worth buying because it seems to be water resistant and some other cool stuffs but the truth be told..... The battery is crap at 3,300mah and the size is even too big. Despite the big size, they could not make space for a bigger battery. In case you need to know, buying a phone because if a 6 gig RAM really makes no sense because a 3 gig ram phone for any type of mobile phone is more than enough and there can never be any issue of lagging so, it is just a marketing gimmick. They have come again to deceive uninformed people like you with numbers and like mumus, most will buy it just for buying sake without asking the critical question, "what do I need in a mobile phone"?. So, people like you will buy it to suffer and smile rather than use common sense. Cut infinix and techno some slack ; they make functional, affordable low end phones and the note 4 pro you are insulting is a superb phone that's very functional and also affordable.

It is light
The size is very okay for a mobile at 5.7 inches
The camera is superb
Processor not bad
Display sharp
Touch....highly responsive
The battery is the most superb feature. You charge for 2 hours and use for almost 2 days.
The funny thing is that the batter doesn't even take time to charge with the xcharge feature. You can get about 70% charge in 60 minutes of charging.
The xpen makes it easy to quickly take notes, paint and express yourself and so many other cool features but you have decided to turn blind eyes to the flaws of this Samsung because Samsung makes perfect phones and nothing can be wrong....
It is a palasa.... Big for nothing and
Comes with a crappy battery at 3300mah. I'll pass.

greetings great geniuses here ... its been a while.

Greetings bro.

masperano:
erm i don't really think so i think if you try out the solution you got it wont satisfy your quadratic inequality you solved(i am assuming the quadratic is correct) . for example according to your solution , zero is a solution since it is greater than -2/3, plug it into your quadratic inequality and see if it satisfies?

It does not satisfy. Will solve again and see where it went wrong when I am settled. Thanks.


Modified:

X is undefined at 0. Hence x is not equal to 0 and cannot be substituted either. Try out other sets of values and you will see that the answer is absolutely correct. The reason why X is undefined at 0 is because one of the given terms in the question has X as its base. Therefore, X cannot be subtututed at 0. CC: masperano

masperano:
Lolzz. Yea I think he wrote the question wrongly, he wanted to write x/3 rather than 1/(3x) that is the only way you can get x greater than 6

Lol. I see. Please, help him solve that out. Running late.

coliboyswag:
The answer am seeing on the text book is x>6

Maybe you are looking at the wrong answers. What textbook is that?

[quote author=masperano post=59787406][/quote]Thanks for the rescue. I have actually lost touch with longitude and latitude.
@Personal59. Solutions have been provided for the remaining questions 6,7,8,9,10. Good luck!

masperano:
Hi Natural waves how u dey ?I think u made an error . It should be x less than -2/3 nd x greater than 4/3

Hi bro. I dey o. Let me check through. Thanks.

Modified :
I did not divide with a negative number. So, the signs cannot flip. It can only flip if I divide with a negative number.
Let us carry out a small test.
From........3X greater than -2
I said....... X greater than -2/3
This means... X greater than say -0.7 approximately
If you try in all the numbers that are greater than -0.7, they will all satisfy the equation 3X greater than -2. For example... -0.6,-0.5,-0.4 etc. If you substitute all these values into 3X greater than -2. The answers you get will all be greater than -2 but if you pick a number that is less than -0.7 say -0.8, you will get something like -2.4 which is less than -2 thus not satisfying 3X greater than -2. If you keep on trying all the numbers that are lesser than -0.7 like -0.8,-0.9-1,-2.2 etc etc, none of them will satisfy the relation 3X greater than -2. So, the signs won't flip.
You can even try out all these values into the preceeding relation 3x + 2 greater than 0 and they will all turn out same way. Thanks.

please help me with this inequality
1/3x+1/4<3x/8

I just did now. Look up.

coliboyswag:
please I need a quick answer On this inequalities
1/3x+1/4<3x/8

Here you go:

Number 7
If 3 dice are thrown together,
The only combinations that can give a total of 10 are;

6,3,1

5,4,1

4,4,2

3,3,4

2,2,6

5,3,2



Note that, for each of these combinations, the dice can come in any form. Therefore, the number of ways they can appear for each group listed above is 3!= 6 per group.


There are 6 groups. So, the total number of 10s that can appear is 6*6= 36.

The overall possible number of outcomes is 36*3= 108.
This is because when a die is standing against 2 other groups, the sample size will be 36 and there are 3 dice in this case.

Hence, probability of getting a sum of ten = 36/108 = 1/3
