Lol. It is what I think o. I think the last time I did really well in maths was in primary school. After that, it's been downhill all the way

Happy sunday to you too!!

I get. At least, you managed to scale through it at O levels. We can take it uphill in 2 months for the basics.

The password to my pc consists of '0' & '1' (BINARY). There are 720 different ways of combining these digits in which only one is my pss wrd. The password hint shows
"0⁴, 1²". If my password to base ten is the result obtained when sixty is subtracted from the solution of
[(11!/10!)×200]/[2²× {√16 +1²)]....Can you help me figure out my password?

Your password is 110010 and dejt4u is correct. Find my solution attached below.....

Hian. So that short question is what filled a whole foolscap sheet?

I HATE maths.


*goes back to reading Cyprian Ekwensi's 'Jagua Nana'*

. You are so funny. It is not what you think, just a couple of procedures. Happy sunday!

When I saw your post, I guessed you would be the one and I wasn't wrong. I was in B206 and u stayed in B204 or something with Samson and co. Welldone!

There is nothing hard about this sir. I have solved it. Find the solution attached below......

You sound really daft. Wow, you must be so intelligent to have scored 65.88. Did you miss the part where I mentioned I got 70+ last year? I was admitted but didn't accept the offer. Infact, i had the second highest score last year. So I have the experience and when I say this year's test was cheaper, you should know I have adequate knowledge of what i'm saying. More than four times the number of people who took the test this year did last year, so last year's competition was stiffer. Pls don't let me vent my anger on you ok? Unilag ripped many us of our deserved marks and here u are spilling balderdash. Let's assume I did poorly, what bout braine? this is someone I can attest to his intelligence.

Do people who are not sure of their performances call for their scripts? Maybe they do so in your alma-mata, definitely not mine.

Mind you, similar stuff happened last year when people with lesser aggregates were offered admission while people who scored higher were omitted. Cos of this, a female nairalander who was a victim of this fraud last year refused to put in this year despite my persuasion.

Guy, you are very myopic......obnoxiously myopic! (no offence pls)

Sir, what was your scores? If it is true that those that had lower marks were offered admission, we can easily verify that. All you need do is to check the list that was released, copy the ref no/ application no of each candidate and go check their results, so that we will have an idea of what they scored and compare .

braine:
No news yet. I'm jes tired of the thing.

Okay, let's keep our fingers crossed.

braine:
Congrats...

Sup with your department and status?

Computer science has released the admission list, just 38 names. Thank God I made the list. Oseroke, I can see your name on number 19 . Congrats!

braine:
All join, that one sef dey.

Thank you sir. Have you checked again for a possible update?

tit:
so we should vote him president because he gave you a seat?

Why do you have to break this record? You are the dum.best person I came across this year. Your IQ would be a single digit.

braine:
Thanks bro! One extra bottle of beer for you when we finally resume.

. Extra bottle? That means you had one in stock for me before now and that makes 2. Can I replace the beer with ice cream? You know say me, I be "omo mummy"

braine:
Wow! You just raised my morale! Thanks. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

. Moreover, I think your scores without an additional upgrade, should be able to get you in. All the best!

oseroke:
My score was upgraded twice. from 39 to 54 to 63.53. Status is now RECOMMENDED.
Computer Science.
So believe it's possible.
I wish you all the best.

Mine was from 32 to 42 and then to 49.41.Computer science too. I can easily deduce that you finished with a 2.1 hence the initial 39+ 15 = 54. The second addition varies from candidtate to candidate. I got 7+ marks added and you got 9+ marks added. Congrats bro. You are the highest csc guy I have come across, most csc guys scored 20s in the initial result.

braine:
It was 39 before it got upgraded. I've not heard of any case where the score was increased a second time, have you?

Yes, I have in computer science. The first result that was pasted was our raw scores, I saw 32 then. After that, they added extra marks based on what one finished with; 20 marks for a first class, 15 marks for a second class upper and 10 marks for a second class lower. Mine changed from 32 to 42. A friend of mine that initially got 24 was upgraded to 39 (15 extra marks for getting a 2.1) . The results were still "not set" for everyone at that time, and then again, between 6 and 7+ marks was added for everyone, I don't know how they arrived at that and my scores changed to 49.41 and his changed to 45.88 and I had "recommended" on the remarks and he had "not recommended". I guess the method varies from department to department but the degree addition cuts across every department. So, you never can tell, there might still be a little upgrade on yours when it comes out.

braine:
Still chilling for further news. Scored 49; Env. Toxicology and Pollution Mgmt; status "Not Set"...

Okay. I pray it comes out well. It is most likely that when the status has been put there, you won't see that score again, might be upgraded.

braine:
Congrats bro.. We'll get there.

Thanks bro, Amen.How about yours? Department, scores and status?

49.41 Msc computer science ....RECOMMENDED. Thank you God. I guess the cut off was at least 47 for csc cos I saw someone with 46 and he was not recommended.

braine:
Please what's their scores range like?

You mean for physics? Or computer?

Primate2:
Wait...admission text, asking him to start registration when? A beg give us d details.

I guess he is asleep now. Will post it here tomorrow or when he forwards it to me.He told me about 12 people or thereabout got admitted.Physics Edu.

Last year, just 28 peoole got admitted for csc.

braine:
Admission text?!?!??

Yeah, that was what he told me this evening. He got it today. I checked his result for him yesterday.

temmyt20:
yea...29

Hmmm. Any news? Have you seen any other csc?The aggregate is over what? What's the chance of getting in? My friend got an admission text, scored 43 (MEdu Phsics), another person that scored 40 got but that's physics anyway; their test pattern and number of questions were different from ours

Computer science was so brutal from the questions to the results. Mehn, 32 is just too low. I have seen lower scores though ( 20s) and 30. Any Msc computer science here?

WASSCE
exam![b]
Abeg Jare as for me o am proud to be an EX
student of Delight int Sec. School/ Dr. Lucas Memorial Sec. School both in Lagos so if you can be proud of your school post the name.

It is better you make a thorough research before you type rubbish . One of those schools up there is arguably the best school in Nigeria; I mean Loyola Jesuit College Abuja. Some of their pupils were involved in that Sosoliso plane crash. I have some friends that finished from there. In 2005, the best WAEC result and the third best was won by that school. Odaro Omusi cleared 9 A1s that year. There was a time that the school was having the best WASSCE results for years . They have won national JETS maths competition and physics competition severally. Students of that school have represented Nigeria in several internation olympiads. Gregory Ugwi finished from there too. Although he had just 6A1s in his WASSCE, he scored the highest in 2004's UME exams (346/400) or so. That school has so many achievements that are too numerous to mention. You can google the school and some of the names I mentioned to educate yourself.

God bless you too.

kudoz! U be english teacher? U fit kum dey gve me english language tutorial? I go pay o lolz! U b konfaam gramarian walahi!

. I no be English teacher o, I just dey try. I won't mind free tutorials in my free time. There is a very small English textbook called "SIMPLIFIED ENGLISH" by Steve O. Umeadi. As small as that textbook is, it made me score 75% in my UME's Use Of English (I studied it for just two months) . Although, it has been a long time, I hope it is still in the market..Try and get that book.

gunners160:
thanks alot man.But what is d difference between in and at?sometimes,I do hear I am in Lagos and I am at Lagos.

Based on the example you gave, both of them are correct. You can be in Lagos and you can be at Lagos depending on how it is used . What will determine maybe or not it is correct is how it is used. Don't let me confuse you. Here is the explanation;

When you are comparing two locations, "in" is used for the larger one while "at" is used for the smaller and more specific one.
E.g
I live in Nigeria, at lagos.
I live in Lagos, at Ikeja.
I live in Ikeja, at Popoola street.
I live in Popoola street, at number 12.
I live in number 12 Popoola street, at flat 2.

Been/being
On pls elucidate on the above

"Been" is usually used for past activities while "Being" applies to present activities, a past continuous activity or even a future continuous one.
*The boy has been flogged.(It happened)
* The boy is being flogged.( It is happening).
*When the results of the election were being read yesterday, the chairman opened his mouth. ( The action is past, but the narrator was trying to describe what happened during a continuous event).

* The results of the elections have been read yesterday ( past event).
*When the righteous are being raptured, the sinners will look on. ( A future event)

In bed/ on bed
To be in bed means to be asleep or be sleeping but when one is on bed, one isn't asleep but just on it.
*The caring mother on bed, watches over the baby in bed.
* I am usually in bed for 8 hours everyday.

i dont think your value for shell trainee is correct.
some staff collect a little above 600k, pls review your info

I think there are different types or maybe levels of trainees. I know a trainee process engineer and he told me he gets 8M per annum, he will soon be confirmed. I will also make morer researches. Thanks.

Twerkjack and chubbyt, you gurls ain't bad. Nice pics.
