It's actually 10c. She ommited the c. So she factorized -10c into _5 c * 2. The middle term must have a variable in quadratic equation. Don't mind her, jare.

I see, the OP has deleted her post, so I didn't know 10c was in the original question, so I was like, this solution is wrong.

HedwigesMaduro:
If you're referring to the questions 1 and 2 she posted, she's very correct. Except if there's another question she answered that I can't see from here.

I just saw this thread. On question 1, how's she correct - where did the c in 5c come from, when in the original question it is not 10c? On line 2, question 1.

And on a lighter note, Haaland made me realise that people don't have a problem with tap ins. They only have a problem with the one who scores the tap ins...

People have no problem with tapins, they only have problems when you compare a tapin master with a player like Messi. Compare tapin players with each other, like, who is the greatest tapin player ever, but never compare any player to Messi!

Beverlyjean:
Have u ever seen a club pay fees for a player 35 and above ?? U pay 30 m and then agency fees and then 60m a yr on wages ... If cavani cud get valencia, Dzeko cud get inter , Giroud cud get Milan ...y not Ronaldo... Zlatan earns 15k a week in Milan... if Ronaldo drops his wages by half , he will be rushed , even at his age

So, why are you blaming Man U saying they should let him go instead of you to be blaming Ronaldo for not dropping his wages?

Beverlyjean:
Clubs wanted Ronaldo...but on a free...Manchester insisted that they will pay 30m and knowing that Ronaldo commands high wages...they pulled out... inter , napoli , Milan all wanted him...dortmund , bayern wanted him , Chelsea wanted him

None of the clubs wanted him. If they did, they’d pay the fee. When a club needs a player, they do everything they can to get him. Ask how much PSG paid to acquire Neymar, even when Barca didn’t want him to leave. 30m is not too high for any of those clubs to pay, they simply didn’t pay it because they didn’t want him. They have paid more for smaller players. And you can’t expect Man U to send him out for free and run at a loss after spending a lot to acquire him. Man U are not a charity organization.

Beverlyjean:
Anyone will get angry...use ur head... he said he wanted to leave ..but they dint allow him...now y bench him and not allow him play... thats very foolish by the coach

They didn’t allow him or no club wanted him

Peacecore:
You see how God dey open dia yansh! Dem talk say Messi do well for Barca bcoz of d quality of players wey dey Barca, but now dem dey complain say dia finished sheep no dey perform bcoz say e dey wrong team

I just tire. When Ronaldo won a CL at Man U, he was surrounded by an excellent team and an excellent coach. Man U were literally one of the best teams in the world at the time and Sir Alex was one of the best coaches. This is proven by the fact that after he left, Man U still went on to the finals of the CL two years later to meet the same Barca. At Madrid, Ronaldo was surrounded by an excellent team too. Madrid was one of the best teams in the world. At Sporting, he wasn’t surrounded by an excellent team, so he never won anything there. So, clearly, Ronaldo needs a great team around to achieve anything. He couldn’t achieve anything at Juve, despite going there to supposedly “prove” he could do it everywhere and he still can’t achieve anything at Man U! So where does the narrative that Ronaldo can do it anywhere, all by himself, comes from? Every player needs a good team to succeed. They really overhyped that guy, and now the pressure is so much!

OfficialP:
Ronaldo is not finished, just that he's playing in the wrong team.

Oh, so the team had been helping Ronaldo all this while?? I thought he could do it all alone, in any team, and only Messi needs a particular team!

Can you elaborate more on why you disagree?

I’ve lived a lot of years in both countries, so I know what I’m talking about.

I’ll give you just one example:
There are over 40 black generals in the US army. Please provide me with the number for Nigeria that are not Hausa or Fulani?

Thank you.

I have brothers that are citizens that filed for me.

Thank you for reading and replying.

I’d love to respond to this, but I’m worried I’d end up writing a 1000-word essay to fully express myself on this subject without leaving important points, and the last thing I’d want to do is derail this beautiful thread �

How many years did it take for you to get your PR after your siblings filed for you?

.

naijamanyoutube:
You do well. Lol

Just know that one can say anything, as long as what they say is not limiting them, then it’s not a problem. So I can say I’m ugly, but if it doesn’t stop me from getting out there and socializing, then it has no effect.

I really love the way you put this, and this is something I’ve been trying to explain to my roommate but she never gets it. It doesn’t matter what someone says about themselves, so far they don’t allow that to limit them.

I really enjoy everything about this thread - thanks for sharing, OP.

The only part I disagree with is where OP said tribalism in Nigeria is worse than racism in the US. I respectfully disagree, Sir.

That said, OP, do you mind sharing what visa you moved to the US with and how you adjusted your status to permanent residency, since it wasn't through marriage?

One love.

I did not attend any formal school here, I learnt online and mentored by those already in the field.

I used www.cybrary.it and also bought some courses on udemy for my learning.

That’s the way to go! That’s motivation right there.

Congrats!

Do you know what a full-ride scholarship means? It means full tuition, room, board, books, insurance, flight, and personal expenses. Simply put, every expense, including a stipend to cover for personal expenses. What school will cover all of these? Try Harvard, Yale, and MIT - you must show proof of severe need. I doubt they will cover every damn thing, except maybe Harvard. Full-ride scholarships are typically not awarded by the schools, they are usually awarded by specific scholarship organizations, such as the Rhodes Trust that awards a full-ride to attend the University of Oxford through the Rhodes Scholarship. These types of programs are usually extremely competitive. Try applying for scholarships like the Opportunity Fund organized by EducationUSA - I doubt they cover flights and personal expenses though. Another one is the MasterCard scholarship for specific partner universities. You could also try the Knight Hennessy scholarship for Stanford or the Fullbright opportunity. Grad students have an upper hand than undergrads because if they could get grad assistantships, scholarships like these could cover the rest. The best bet for undergrads would be to first aim for their university merit scholarship (if the school offers one), then add these types of external scholarships to culminate in a full ride. Good luck!

You go like come Benin make I carry you trabaye....

Una go just dey form another thing for nairaland....

Maybe try use Buhari trabaye first before we believe you

Ok, so clearly there was no right prediction. Congrats to Real Madrid.

Where’s Mikel? Haven’t heard from him for a while. Also his IG has not been updated since last Christmas? Does he play anywhere now? What’s he been up to?

SenecaTheYonger:
Just imagine your sisters dead body being posted all over the internet.

I don’t even know why I was born a black man.

I’m honestly tired. And the stupid nairaland and supposedly educated seun that allow things like this. I wonder why the black man is like this. Why does no black person see anything wrong in this?

If your intention is to motivate people, I think you need to go into more specifics. Let’s start with the emboldened part: You said,

At first, the area was so so boring to me, no place to go, no friends to roll with and worst of all no single person on the whole street.

Has any of this changed now? If so, how did it change? What were your socialization strategies that stopped it from being boring? Are people on the streets now? Why weren’t they on the streets initially, the snow? How did you make friends if you couldn’t in the beginning?

They say jobs are everywhere,true, but mostly warehouse jobs, home care jobs and other menial jobs. For starters, I worked in a warehouse but I quit after 2months cuz I have to stand, and walk throughout a shift of ten hours.

Well, the warehouse jobs are for people without specialized skills. What skills did you go with? How did you transition into IT - did you have any prior knowledge? What aspects of IT and how did you find opportunities in this “boring” area?

I see some snow in your pictures and since you said boring, my guess is that this is some Midwest. Do you care sharing what state this is?

CSTRR:
Where is her international Olympiad for mathematics?

You can't make such claims and not back it up with an Olympiad.

The smartest Asians are in the Olympiad.

I was gonna say the same but I didn’t want anyone to attack me here. There are several people with gold medals in the International Mathematics Olympiad, so there’s no yardstick to measure the best in the world at her age, and she doesn’t even have an IMO gold medal yet. If she gets an IMO gold medal and backs it up with a Putnam Prize when she gets to college, then she can stand a chance. But even with the Fields Medal, which is the greatest mathematical award, no one is still clearly considered the greatest mathematician in the world, not even Terrence Tao.

My percentage for my final term in SSS class was 73.9%.
It dances pretty much from 65% to 75%.
I think they don't just base the decision on my results alone it's holistic they compare it other members of my class . But my overall percentage is above the class average (60.5%)
My percentage 73.9%
Class average 60.5%.
I hope it's good enough.

It all depends on the school you’re applying to - different schools with different policies. But what I’m asking is your GPA. Sounds like this would need to be evaluated to see where your GPA falls. Anything from a 3.7/4.0 and above would give you an excellent shot.

hopefulmindhdd:
Good evening everyone. I'm a prospective student wanting to study for my undergraduate degree in the US most preferably. My question is that I have started processing admission into a Nigerian tertiary (when I wrote JAMB) institution but along the line when I finished my SSCE last year, my plans to study in the US became more feasible . Although my results weren't as superb as to what you'd see online but it ranges from A to C . Sorry for the lengthy explanation above . The question is that should I finish the processing or I should just focus fully on the US's ?
I just want my preparation to be holistic by having in mind whether or not it would affect my profile negatively or positively when I get to the Visa application stage.

What's your high school transcript like? What were your grades - SS1 to SS3?

Gokoyer1401:
Ok, i will list some of them out for you.
1) Boston University
2) Caltech
3) university of Wisconsin-Madison
4) university of Minnesota TCC
5) university of Michigan-Ann Arbor
6) University of Georgia Athens
7) University of Florida
Florida state University
9) Michigan State University
10 )Arizona State University.
Google and check their acceptance rates to categorize them. Do not apply to schools that you do not meet their minimum requirements.

Ok, I’ll check each one of them. Thanks.

Gokoyer1401:
This is not Canada or Australia. I will say there are hundreds of Universities in USA that do not have this requirement. Please channel your energy in finding schools that will give you funding base on your profile. Permit me to say that finding potential supervisor can improve an applicant's profile significantly also in USA.

Do you mind sharing a list of some that you know? After lots of research, the only ones I found which do not are for-profit, private universities. I'd like a list of public universities that do not have that requirement.

bukhety:
They assume people forge documents. So they rarely asked except on a few occasions!

What?? If they assume people forge documents, that will make them check documents even more, not less.

sonnie10:
Summa cum lauda gpa is range between 3.7-4.0 gpa. You don't have to score a perfect 4.0 to be recognized. If you a full time student, dedicated and without the distraction of work, bills and family, I don't see why you can't get it.

It varies from school to school. For some schools, summa cum laude is 4.0, nothing less.

sonnie10:
Share your own first hand experience as an undergraduate, graduate student and then worker in the US. Thanks.

You got a 4.0 in undergrad?

Fall2021:
Be careful what you wish for. I've learnt my lesson the hard way. The cold here is freezing �

Haha it seems like you moved during the winter to one of the coldest places which is Illinois. I always encourage people to move during the fall so they can slowly assimilate if they’re moving to a cold region.

Fullstop

Fixed.

If I also was a politician enjoying the national cake, I definitely would want one Nigeria.

But one thing I believe we politicians all have in common — We share the national cake, therefore, One Nigeria.
