yep, used to watch them when i was younger. so while you were in your second year y'all were able to build something that woulda competed in robot wars? do you have any material on what you guys did? i know i can google stuff up but i have so much to read now and i'm not sure i'm ready to start sifting though different websites


where's oyb? does he still visit this thread sef. . .

Kobojunkie:
See, we don't have the evidence for that yet - I know we are talking of Nigeria where all things evil seem possible, but I still think there is so much of the details of this missing. We do not have access to the details . . . no one seems to, except the state, and I wish it would release information already so people start feeling more a part of the process. I remember when it used to be so in Lagos and I long for the return of those days.

really? there was a time when government was open?. . .sounds hard to believe.

^^the part i highlighted is the answer to your question.

fame12k:
so what will happen 2 does dat select d course? because it is included in d brochure as part of d course offered in unilag,

you can go to lag to make enquiries, i dont want to give you half baked information.

4llerbuntu:
AWWWW!!! so sniff sniff sniff

having FINALLY watched the last episodes, i must declare SUPERB ENDING, SUPERB!!!!!

i am absolutely disappointed with president taylor, i mean wtf, first she went on a path of no return, was manipulated by that silly fog called Logan, resolutely went haywire ambitious wise and HAD THE NERVE TO DEVELOP A CONSCIENCE WHEN IT DID'NT MATTER!!!

jeez, like she just ruined everything for everybody, herself, JACK, ESP JACK, tseew.


Jack, what a silly old dense Arrow, i mean a suicide mission just cause of some p*u*ssy, Puhlease!!!, and when did the mumu realise he was going too far, at the trigger end of the sniper gun? but man what a guy, absolute fighter till the end, BEST SCENE, WHEN HE BIT THAT silly GUN DOG!!. guy was pissing me off, was wishing jack had killed him earlier


Dahlia Hassan, typical female reactions, but then kudos to her man, I WOULD NOT HAVE HANDLED IT LIKE THAT NEVER!, jeez the nerve and will.
but then are we talking about the same husband she was gonna leave? i mean she came back just cause of her daughter, now she is so heartbroken over a man she only had complaints about?


Chloe, well thats what you call a crush/love affair. girl like jack so mush she no just want make he die, see cry over cold blooded killer (make somebody loff me sef like that na )



hmnnn, wells so sad, na to dey look feyikogbon naw o, or gboromiro

oh ok, na 2010 we dey, kamson and neighbours

i feel you 100%. . .wait sef, is 4llerbuntu your first username on NL?

@wallie and Ajanlekoko
you guys should not sideline us o. . .this one that you are going into plenary. . .

@jaybee
what was it supposed to do? did it work? i'm really serious about this thing o. . .i just need something realistic that the students can achieve

franctony:
Does Unilag offer Bsc. in Radiography

netotse:
they used to, but[b] it didn't pass the last NUC accreditation[/b], saw it among list of courses denied accreditation that was published in the newspapers.

no be only you sabi use bold font o

jarkbauer:
when i click the insert picture icon it gives this[img]http://[/img] but attempt to copy it will fail as the paste will not be highlighted

you're supposed to insert the link to the picture in between the '[img]http://[/img]' if the picture is online,

if the picture is offline you can either attach it to the thread or upload it to a site like photobucket or whatever and then do the https://www.christianshirts.net/images/specialedition/gotjesus350.gif

i simply pasted this link http://www.christianshirts.net/images/specialedition/gotjesus350.gif inbetween the [img][/img] and voila it displayed the picture, so all you need to do is find a link to the picture you want. . .c'est fini

@Ajanlekoko
lol. . .your own reply got tagged as spam too

_{*aside* since when did i become OC spambot monitoring sef?}

Wild idea, huh? But think about this. What if all the electrical engineers in Nairaland came together and formed a co-op? Actually contribute funds towards the production of , say, local electrical low-power-consumption appliances like bulbs. Hire local engineers, use local raw materials, etc.
What do you guys think?

i agree with this your idea o, immediately i saw it in wallie's post, i started discussing with one of my friends on how we could fund something on a drastically smaller scale at our alma matter, something along the lines of a 100grand prize for most innovative microcontroller design. . .i think that's what we need in nigeria, if our government refuses to celebrate us then we might as well celebrate ourselves!

they used to, but it didn't pass the last NUC accreditation, saw it among list of courses denied accreditation that was published in the newspapers.

@funkybaby
frog-kissing e ma ga o. . .(dont know if my yoruba is on-point. . .lol)

@Ajanlekoko
wallie just posted something on this thread that was tagged as spam, maybe you could get that sorted out? also if he got banned for that. . .

@ziyaun (or anyone else)
i just got my hands on a load demand interim report, it has a quite a bit of info on the nigerian power sector, are you interested?

they(the producers)had better work hard on that movie o. . .nonse and ingredients!

_{make i no lie sha, i happy small say jack no die} , but wait sef, what's the point, he wont be able to see his family again now. . .

*long hiss * nonsense and ingredients. . .i hate the end jo. . .i wanted presidents logan at taylor to suffer incalculably for all their actions, what happened now doesn't cut it!

FL Gators:
lol I know!!

Anywhoz, I got a question for you. . . .

1. I'm 7hrs away from home and my siblings have used that opportunity to start using cuzz words. . . . which they learned in school. Take in mind that these are elementary kids. Sadly, my mom is always at work and has too much going to control them. How do I stop these kids from growing up too fast? I'm thinking of bringing them up here to spend the summer with me so that I can pull their ears very well, but with school, its impossible. Gimme some ideas, plz.

i dont think you'll ever be able to stamp it out totally. . .it might just be a phase,we all go through it, but if you've been raised well you'll eventually pul through

selingel:
Are you sure?

i'm hardly in a position to be sure now. . .that's why i used 'seems', do you know any better person?

Dis Guy:
even more annoying is that response above 'u guys have to get a bigger transformer' y are the residents doing nepa's work? After paying bills, u know buy transformer, then u employ an engineer not a technician? Bloody hell nigerians are very patient o!!! several months without power sum1 tells u to go n actually find out what exactly is wrong, if u have to do all this yourself, why dnt they just burn the nepa office n save tax money??
Eku suru o

it isn't PHCN that overloads the transformers is it? the amount of money PHCN collects as electricity bills every month isn't even enough for it to run itself. . .if any blame is to be shared PHCN wont even get lions share!

hypothetical question: you've just built a house and you want to connect it to the grid, you go to PHCN and tell them, and they tell you 'i'm sorry sir/madam we cant connect you to supply because we dont have the capacity' what would you do?

tens of thousands of consumers are connected to an already stressed grid every year without any commensurate increase in generation (and this has been going on for years, imagine the backlog). . .and yet y'all are expecting constant electricity. . .i laugh in spanish. . .lol

if anything the politicians should take the lions share of the blames, followed by PHCN staff and lastly all nigerians.

i'm back. . .what can i say. . .i'm a sucker for punishment

just a word though, as a civil servant(that's what lecturers in federal universities are), it's illegal for you to be involved in any activity other that farming in addition to your job(i think it's even in the constitution. . .lol).

CAVEAT: 9.9 out of 10 civil servants flout this rule though however if there's ever any reason for your bosses to put you in trouble, they will snitch, but since almost er'one is doing it, it rarely happens sha(i know one lecturer it happened to though, he was teaching in another uni part-time)

just thought you should know. . .

and BTW there could be a measure of hostility from other lecturers, the fed govt is in the process of enacting a rule(abi is it a law) that makes a PhD compulsory for all lecturers, so people that have spent donkey years working on their PhDs might not like you(my former course adviser spent 12+).

chaircover:
Ok since we are it I better say my own now, Who knows someone might be able to help

There has been no light in Aradagun Badagry since April 2009; It is over a year now since the area has been in complete darkness 

Something to do with a broken down transformer. I understand that tenants and Landlords in the area put money towards this to have it fixed, but it only worked for 3 weeks before breaking down again & since then its been total darkness.

it could be that your transformer is overloaded and y'all need to get a bigger transformer. . .the best thing to do would be to get real engineers involved not technicians. the alternative could be the lines are overloaded, and if that's the case you guys'll be on a longer thing, but i'd put my money on transformer. . .if a transformer 'blows', replacing it should come only after finding out why it happened in the first place, but folks at PHCN are usu too lazy.

could you tell me exactly what he said? thing is, you need to know exactly what the problem is before you start complaining, for you that could make the difference between being ignored and actually getting somebody to listen to your case. . .

when you can state what exactly is wrong, the next logical step would be for your resident's association to seek a meeting with the CEO of the distribution company, knock on doors until you find someone that's willing to talk to you. . .

most importantly though, be polite!, more often than not, when pple talk to PHCN staff, they do so with 'attitude' and that could make the difference between the person deciding to help you or telling you 'i dont know, it's not my business'

SEFAGO:
^ lolz not my business but not true though- you asked "what sector and what city" he wants to stay not what field do u wanna teach.

Regardless the guy is asking a honest question lol  

if he's an engineer that's the question to ask, it's the same thing as asking what's your specialisation, or how many lecturers do you think simply teach?. . .of which i admitted i was at fault now. . .the idea of him rushing to brand me S.I. unit of thread derailment is what i dont like. . .

Devonian:
First of all shall I say that I posted this thread not with the intentions of being egoistic! Whilst acknowledging the fact that anyone who previously lived abroad and returned home (or people who haven’t travelled abroad, but knows the reality on ground) may have one or two things to say which would be quintessentially useful for my situation, I’m also aware that too many people derail threads on NL. For example, netotse, the first person to respond asked “what sector are you planning to go into” when this was already apparent in my post. This partly explains why I’m keen to hear from professionals and academics. Besides, I was hoping to hear from anyone in the same profession that left the West for Nigeria to give me feedback on their experiences back home in Nigerian universities. Consensus seems to be give it a test ride first (PapaBrowne "visit first for a month or two before making a final decision"; Kobojunkie "go down there for 3 to 6 month periods at first"; ftmom “set up a trial period during which you can decide what you want to do long term.”) I would certainly do this. Some also suggested business. I definitely wouldn’t go into business in Naija.

guess what ppl? today is let-hotshot-doctorate-wielding-fella-stylishly-insult-me-and-get-away-with-it-day

it was evident in your first post? you mentioned teaching in a university, i kinda meant what subject area(to think i was trying to avoid posting off-tangent), i should've been clearer mea culpa. . .if you're an electrical engineer with a PhD university of lagos will employ you easily, that's the sorta thing that was going through my mind, was also planning to help search for lecturers salaries but i guess i have better things to do(what with me being NLs chief thread-derailer and all )

i don tire for all them tribalists, i swear i'm extremely close to starting a 'ban the tribalist thread'. . .

Spyker:
So, just because she is a Doctor and young made you to jump to conclusion that you need her in your life. My guy, make you no turn woman wrapper where you dey chase woman because of wetin she don achieve instead of who she is. She may or may not be a good wife, so don't just rush into conclusion.

that's why i said 'kind of girl', while it could mean i want her, it could also mean i want someone similar, someone who knows what she wants and sets out to achieve it. . .

have you gone to the PHCN district office to ask why?. . .

that's the kind of girl i need in my life jo. . .

what if the poster was 'the seeker'? and he was trying to learn how to change his IP so he wouldn't be caught the same way he was caught last time?

i dont know how you can tell the OP is on the 'up n up' from a single statement. . .

i made room for the poster being legit, that's why i asked for a reason, if i thought or knew OP was up to something fishy, i wouldn't have bothered myself.

like i stated earlier, the information he asked for isn't particularly special, however, if i'm going to teach someone to do something that could be used for illegal purposes, dont you think I have a right to seek assurance of some sort that it wouldnt be used wrongly?

hey pple!

i had reason to watch episode 1 again o, meeennnn it's hard to believe the present wahala is happening on the same day as his aborted trip to cali o. . .that's the thing with 24, the twists and turns get so many that it's very easy to lose sight of the begining!

at least for his granddaughters  sake they shouldn't kill jack o!

yay. . .this thread will soon get to 100pages and get locked and will stop showing up on my updated topics list. . .

snowdrops:
You guys should shun your cynic self.

If you have the answer just say it and stop being kill joys.

would you let me use your address as my contact address? or if you knew i was using a fake address would you want to relate/do business with me?

it's not a matter of being cynic, what if someone teaches you how to change your IP and you now use it to scam someone nko?. . .knowledge is a burden, it's that simple. . .i cant think of many sensible reasons why anyone would want to change his/her IP address

selingel:
It is not that hard too! It only requires a genuine, loyal and trust-worthy leader, who is ready to step on toes to achieve that.

fashola seems to be the closest to that. . .at this present time. . .
