i also read engineering,
go for either mechatronics, electrical, software or mechanical.
Computer engineering in nigeria is shit. Electrical, software, mechatronics and sometimes computer science can easily replace them and are much more relevant.

computer science and engineering are very very different
Mechatronics /electrical software and mechanical engineering are also different from computer engineering

Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer hardware and software.

Computer Science is the study of computers and computational systems. Unlike electrical and computer engineers, computer scientists deal mostly with software and software systems; this includes their theory, design, development, and application.

Mechatronics-technology combining electronics and mechanical engineering

mechanical engineering
noun
the branch of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and use of machines.

Computer engineers are special and cant be easily replaced

You cant tell a mechanic to fix your desktop or your phone

Okay. Just loosen up a bit.People might mistake your character as proud or conceited. Anyways those guys above gave nice contributions.
Please my younger brother wants to enter computer engineering,how promising is the field. We can't send him abroad now because of flatuating dollar,so we have been searching for a Nigerian varsity that does well in that field.How is babcock?is it better than convenant? Which is the best in Nigeria.

You are right, people say i am proud and stubborn. I an still working on it



I wont lie to you. Covenant is better academically. But bu is better overall

Cu will frustrate your life. No mobile phones,holding hands with girls etc. Bu has frustrating rules tho,but not as much as cu. Covenant is cheaper. But personally, i think its overpopulated. They have just too many students

Just make sure your brother is not an olodo and hell be fine

Another advantage of babcock is that he can change to computer science or information sys if he doesnt like the engineering part

Computer engineering is very good in bu as your brother can transfer to a poland university after his first year for a discounted rate and his bsc wont be from nigeria. Pc me for more info on that


One guy above said computer engineering is poo.. that is very false. I know many grads from my school that re doing very well. Even making a lot of cash from 300l. Babcock computer department is very generous. They communicate with students and give them necessary connections and practical training outside of their normal school curriculum

You can get a lot of internationally recognised certificates before you graduate. Its optional but this is available in cu as well


without being biased. Ill say. Your brother should go to babcock or afe. My issue with afe tho is that its not fully mature. Its still at ita early stage of development

eWyse:

The bolded above must be an error, I suppose?!

It was exagerrated i mean most people do it. And out of the rest. Most do it. So almost everyone does it

NwaAmaikpe:


Tuition is free,

Is passing free there too
You will pay in cash and also pay in kind before you can even get an 'E'


In otherwords, the lecturers give the ladies their 'D' in turn for a grade.

Re you actually serious?

Xsem:

You are intelligent and brilliant but at same time intransigent.I thought you needed advice from them but you ended up clinging to Same things that affected you. If you really want that fulfillment,why not acquiese to their advice. It just needs determination, perseverance, patience to achieve

I may be intransigent. But i like full conviction before i do something

You are taking my curiousity for being too rigid with my opinion. I am that kind of person that asks a ridiculous amount of questions

Because we re now used to it

nwakibie3:
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi on Monday said that the economic recession in the country is not as bad as witnessed some months ago.

Amaechi, who has assured that the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail would be completed by December 2018, said this in a chat with newsmen in Lagos.

Admitting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) must improve the economy, Amaechi said Nigerians should equally know that the economy was very bad when the present government took over.

His words: “When recession was biting, people were shouting recession. Now that it is no longer as biting, though there is still recession but it is not as biting as before, there is an improvement, true or false?

“Whether it is little or not, there is an improvement. Don’t forget that when we came, economy was very bad, nobody wants to remember that.

“I agree with people that put up the agreement that ‘we should shut up our mouth and work, that we knew there was a problem and that was why we asked to be voted in and that was why we were voted in’.

“So I agree with them but they should acknowledge first that there was a problem.

“We are addressing the issues and you must give us time to rebuild. Rebuilding is not one day, it doesn’t happen one day, does it?’‎”

Thank you all for your help

Answer the questions intrepid just wrote and if you can give your self satisfactory answers, then these are my advices.

I finished from a public uni, in short one of the most difficult uni in nigeria. I tried my best but i wasnt successful. Mine was even in 4. Some thing then, i didnt get to achieve 1st class sha. Iam not discouraging you but if you really one to do it. You must
1. Fall inlove with reading all handouts and materials
2. Make friends with your predecessor ie 200 and 300 lvl students and always collect and accumulates their test and exam papers alongside their notebooks and materials or handout
3. Always remember that falling inlove is with a girl is -0.5 from you sgpa. Ie semesterial gp.
4. Dont follow girls, they can be very distractive and rescending.
5. Follow only serious students ie girls or boys who have a cgpa that is much greater than yours or close to yours. First class or close to.
6. Reduce your playtime and quits watching films when its 2 weeks to test and 1 month,1 week to exams.
7. Make sure you cover all materials and past questions from your seniors before resuming each semester
8. Always ask about all your lecturers from your seniors and how they set questions or behave.
9. Its not important to attend lectures if you dont understand what they are teaching. The time could be used for something better. Collect notes after the class from somebody and copy or photocopy them.you can meet friends(mostly 1st class student) who understand and organise time with him to explain it to you.
9. Always help others below you when you have understand a topic. It brings blessings but if its very close to exam period, start hiding yourself so as to have time to revise, repeat the reading and understand the topic very well.
10. Dont talk too much and dont be proud.

I didnt follow very strictly most of these rules and my cgpa went up sha but due to some problems beyond my control, i didnt get to reach it. And i love playing pes very much.

1. I dont like reading. What i read doesnt stick in my head. Its what i hear in lectures that stays
2. That is not efficient and it will be very time consuming. The time spent wont be worth the knowledge ill gain
3. This is the most difficult part.... i am only human
4. Can this be limited?
5. Cool, i see what you re telling me to do here
6. I dont play at all. I dont think i can stop myself from watching movies/series. Believe me i have tried. I just dont know how to stop
7. Babcock doesnt exactly give you the time for this. 7am and morning classes. Youll be exhausted already in the afternoon. And by the end of the day. You have to go to church. The same thing next day. Thats how it goes
8. Honestly, i only wish i knew this earlier....

Fuckallmods:
Have you heard of malpractice before?

Everyone does malpractice. For some reason , i am not ok with that

Intrepid01:
Hmmm...what a smart and forward thinking guy you are. While your mates are thinking about sleeping with every lady on your campus, here you are thinking about how to graduate with distinctions. I was like this some 12 yrs ago you know. But if you wouldn't mind, I would want you to re-direct this zeal, positivity and hunger in to something else. Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful to graduate with a first class, I never did so I can imagine how wonderful it could be. But the world is changing, it has become a place for inventors and less of a place for academic. You need to be able to answer some questions before we proceed:

1. Why exactly do you wanna have first class ( if it is for self fulfillment only, like you stated then you need a rethink)?
2. Do you intend becoming a lecturer in future, if yes, then it is a good thinking?
3. What exactly do you see yourself doing after school(this question is key, because you have to start acquiring all the skills you'll need to fit in to your desired future)?

I would advise you honestly answer those questions and start channeling your zeal, hunger and energy in to fitting in to what you want your future to look like. Do you intend to be a programmer, software expert or hardware guru? Now is the time to start acquiring those skills outside your formal setting.

The first class is for self fulfillment. I have been in school for 16 years and i know my ability academically/ i know my average grades. I know i xan do better than how i am doing. I am no messi. But imagine if messi doesnt score for a season. I fell how he'll feel.

Lecturers. Especially the ones in my school are very underpaid

I like programming a lot. But i think its too early to say i want to be a programmer because i need to taste or rather do everything and select what goes with me best

BRATISLAVA:
Cut down movies.

Increase assignments.

Its not as easy to do as it is to type. Why would i read a boring pdf when i have the latest movie on my desktop. I hope you get where i am coming from

Most students do their assignments last minute anyway. And i cant stress myself for to do work that the teacher will only grade passively

pressplay411:


The problem here is you're only concerned about boosting your CGPA not being an expert in your course of study. Not your fault though, it's the Nigerian mentality which places all the focus on Grades and not Knowledge. Which is why companies employ the beat graduating students on paper with abysmal performance in the field.
Most successful brains didn't focus on the grades, that took care of itself, they focused on being experts.

All the best.

I am one of the best when it comes to computer -based courses in ny class. Automatic A for me

I have a lot of practical skills. Like i said before, i just want to get better on paper because i know i can do better. And i cant sit back knowing my knowledge is not being fully optimized


Re you suggesting i dont focus on the grades..i dont think that works. Because to pass in nigeria. You dont need to know the course. You need to know what the teacher has been saying. It all boils down to the teacher. I dont think this method will work in Nigeria. It is the right thing. But sadly, nothing is right in thia country

pressplay411:
How do you even qualify for Computer Tech if you don't like Physics?
Only in Private schools. Smh

Computer tech is a very wide course. Most of it does not require anything physics especially the field i am going to. The course is only for a semester



A private school has nothing to do with this. I could have gotten into any uni lag,ben,ibadan if i wanted

I just finished my 100l in babcock university in computer technology. My current cgpa is 3.8. And i need to increase it to a first class (4.5/5.0) not because i think i need it for a job or approval from someone. But i need it to find satisfaction... As a normal person, i know my ability (i am not basing mine relative to my peers) I know that i can do much better.

I attend all my classes....every single one
I do all assignments. Passively. Like i copy what i am not 100% sure of and do a lot of last minute work.

I dont have any family issues or anything bothering me. but just random moodswings which is common among teenagers. I can say i am emotionally stable


I dont do pda. But i do go outside at nights to gist with some female friends from sunset till like 10:30... in an innocent way. About 4x every week.

My room-mates are just acquaintances. I made sure i didnt stay with my friends to avoid distractions. But i have a social media and movie addiction.


I am the kind of person that performs well in exam without reading or practice. I hate reading. As long as i go to the class. All what the lecturer says will enter my head. (As long as i dont forget it later) whatever i read just stays in my head for a couple of days or so


No matter the situation. I dont copy/ cheat in any way during exams,quizzes, tests etc. I know this contradicts what i do in my assignment...but it is what it is its still the same google well get the info from. So my academic work is all me

I only pay attention in classes that interest me. I cant decieve myself by listening to my physics lecturer. Its something ill never understand

I am pleading with you all that have gone through this phase to give me advice on to make my grades better/mistakes and trap to avoid etc. I dont want any article from the internet. Or just words. I want feasible ideas that actually worked for someone at a point.(quote me if possible)




You can also ask any question if i didnt answer it before




Thank you.


P.s- apologies if my post is not well organised

ME, MY SISTER AND HER FRIENDS (18+)
PART 1
.
F–k! I can’t believe what I’m seeing in my
parents’ living room. Three giggling teenage
girls, wearing sheer lingerie are sitting on the
couch cheering on a fourth girl who is
attempting to deep throat a d—o. What the
f–k! The cheers and laughter is probably
why they didn’t hear me come in through the
kitchen door. I step back into the shadows of
the hallway while my c–k responds to the
luscious, pale a-s cheeks of the fourth girl.
Her purple sheer nightie has ridden up over
her heart-shaped a-s, revealing her matching
thong as she starts to gag on the rubber d–k
suction-cupped to the glass topped coffee
table. “I can do this!” the girl exclaims,
taking a deep breath and sliding her lips
back down the realistic looking c–k. Holy s–
t!
That’s Lauren’s voice! My d–k is hard and
I’m having perverted thoughts about my 18-
year-old sister. I guiltily look away from her
scrumptious a-s cheeks and try to forget
what her lips look like sliding down that fake
c–k.
“I thought you said you had done this
before,” laughs one of the girls, pulling my
attention back to the couch. The other three
girls are wearing similar outfits, sheer baby
doll nighties with matching thong p@nties.
The only variation seems to be the color.
“I have done it before,” my sister protests,
“but with a real d–k! This thing isn’t
working for me. I need a real d–k.” Lauren
sits back on her heels and laughs along with
her friends.
“There appears to be one in the hallway!”
The cute black girl sitting closest to me says
as she smiles in my direction. F–k! Busted! I
might as well take the offensive and try to
put Lauren on the defense.
“Brandon!” Lauren screams, jumping to her
feet as I step into the room.
Her t–s bounce temptingly inside the cups of
the purple nightie. “What the f–k are you
doing here?”
“Never mind about me? What the f–k is all
of this?” I sweep my arm towards the coffee
table where, besides the suction cupped d—o
there are several vibrators and other
assorted s-x toys. “What’s going on here?”
I’m six years older than Lauren and I’ve been
living with my girlfriend for the past couple of
years. I crash at my parents’ house
whenever Kelly and I fight, which seems to
be happening quite often lately.
“We’re having a sleepover,” Lauren says as if
that explains all of this. While she’s getting
outraged with me, I’m checking out her
girlfriends. It’s like looking at a live action
Victoria Secret’s ad. There’s the African-
American girl who spotted me in the hallway.
My eyes zero in on the yellow nightie barely
covering her impressive chest. Next to her is
Kristina, Lauren’s petite blonde friend from
down the street, looking pretty in her pink
lingerie. Finally, on the other end of the
couch is a tall brunette all decked out in the
sexiest shade of red.
“A sleepover?” I ask, raising my eyebrows as
I appraise their outfits. The tops are sheer
except for the bra-like cups around their b—–
s. In actuality, except for the thong, they
don’t show much more than a skimpy bikini
but somehow it is much more enticing when
it’s lingerie.
“We had a lingerie party,” the black girl
explains, smiling without a hint of
embarrassment. “Do you like our outfits?”
She stands and twirls around giving me a
great view of her full, round a-s cheeks.
“Alex!” Lauren admonishes her. “That’s my
brother!”
“Well, you should at least introduce us,” Alex
answers, stepping forward with her hand
extended. “I’m Alexis but you can call me
Alex.” She smiles as I shake her hand.
“Brandon,” my sister takes over the
introductions. “You know Kristina,” she says,
pointing to her friend in the pink nightie. I
nod in her direction.
“Hello, Brandon,” Kristina smiles demurely.
“And this is Kylie.” The tall brunette stands
up and extends her hand.
“Nice to meet you, Brandon,” she says,
making eye contact. D–n! We’re almost the
same height and I’m a little over six feet.
“My pleasure,” I answer, shaking her hand,
which is surprisingly small and feminine
given her stature.
While being introduced to her friends, I steal
surreptitious glances at my sister. She has
really filled out over the past couple of years.
Something I hadn’t noticed during my
previous visits. Of course, she wasn’t
wearing Sekxy lingerie any of those times.
F–k! My c–k is hardening again. This is so
wrong.
“What are you doing here?” Lauren asks,
drawing my attention back.
“I needed a place to stay,” I shrug without
further explanation. I’m about to ask her
whether mom knows what she’s up to but
my sister and I have an unspoken agreement
about not embarrassing each other in front
of our friends.
“Well,” I smile at the Sekxy foursome. “Sorry
to have interrupted. I’ll just head up to my
room and leave you girls to your fun. Where
are mom and dad?” I ask.

Ill click that link when nicki minaj marries me

I honestly dont get it at all

From my own perspective. Its not funny at all. If i am wrong. Its not as funny as you claim

Basic123:

you must be from convenant or babcock.
well,you will have been in one of those universities,if not for your serial185 score in jamb before your Dad decided to save you and him from disgrace.we understand,take heart bro.

Ill need statistics on this your all bu/cu students scored 185 in jamb.

Good Morning Folk,

I would like to know how do I go about converting my south African high school certificate's and insurance certificates in Nigeria.

In south Africa my insurance qualifications carries much weight and i am concerned that it might not mean much in Nigeria.

I would also like to cont my studies at a private university.

Please advise.

Thnx

As long as u re already in a university. Babcock university will take you. Contact them. Covenant doesnt accept international students. But jf you want to start afresh. Do pre degree/jupeb /a levels/ diploma or whatever.

NigLasPresident:
See The Comments the picture generated about Nigeria and Scam Boys. Unjust want to give it Up to those Brave Brothers. Kenneth Nwoba. Chile Chime. Bernard Buhari. Those guys were truly patriotic even though they didn't win the argument

To the whole of nairaland - WE ARE GOING TO WAR!!!!

AmoryBlacq:
Near insanity and mediocrity seems to be high flyers in this dispensation!

Its obviously a joke

Most of your points re just words. I dont think a simple one will be effective

JARUSHUB:
An addiction is basically when a thing begins to control your life and interferes with your daily activities, work and relationships. When your phone starts to do that to you, it has become an addiction you need to immediately break. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 5 effective ways to break a phone addiction.

The First Few Minutes of Your Day

The first way to break a phone addiction is to dedicate the first 10 to 30 minutes of your day, at least, to planning and creating a good start to your day, rather than unlocking your phone to browse various internet or social media platforms. planning your day well. Wont guarantee you wont be stuck to your screen for the remaining hours of the day

Create No-Phone Periods

You have to be strict with this one because this can significantly decrease your productivity and efficiency once you are unable to carry it out. If you find yourself constantly being distracted by your phone, it is necessary to create a no-phone period, where for a specific number of minutes or hours you close off your phone and stay completely dedicated to your work.

Having a no phone period will only heighten your anticipation and give you more ideas of things to do when you finally get your phone back


Don’t Lose Sleep Over Your Phone

Set limits. You should never allow your phone deprive you of your sleep. Be disciplined and set limits. The moment you stop putting energy into caring for your basic needs and start putting all your time and energy into your phone, you are allowing your phone dictate your health and well-being. Please stop that, your phone is not worth your health.

This has nothing to do with stopping an addiction

Customize Your Notifications

The fact is the lesser notifications you receive, the less likely you are to get distracted by your smartphone and constantly check your smartphone. Therefore, customize your smartphone notifications by turning off notifications for the apps that distract you the most.
I see where you are trying to come from here. But still, this cant effective. As a former phone addict.
I always pick up my phone to reply a message before the notification comes up. It happens. Whether your phone is on silent mode or not. Your mind would stoll bug you to check


Work on Building Real Life Relationships

Rather than spending hours building virtual relationships, try to get real and work to develop real world relationships. Real world relationships are more physically and emotionally gratifying than virtual relationships, so try to move your relationships with people from your phone to a real world platform. Instead of chatting, try to meet up somewhere next time (but be careful with this however and take this step with people you are without a doubt sure you can trust. The key phrase here is ‘without a doubt’.)

this is text messaging addiction i guess. Probably the most effective of everything. After the physical part. It still boils down to "give me your number" and youll both chat away your lives. But the idea of using real world relationships to distract you from your phone can work. But it will take a ton of effort

Kingpee2:
You didn't state the question you asked ,besides if I was a pastor and your question seems to sound like someone that came to whine me I would gladly direct an usher to you ,something in me tells me that you prolly asked a question that didn't seem to be nice for someone to ever answer .Just saying

If a responsible person sees a question is intended to whine. Hell answer logically at first though. Based on whar the op said. The pastor dodged the question

doughziay:
I was invited to a church close to my hood and while I was less busy, I decided to attend service this Sunday morning. After the first part of the activities ( praise, worship and prayer) The pastor mounted the pulpit to minister.

He began with introducing the topic to be preached on an started his sermon. After the service, I met him to ask a few questions about what he preached that I wasn't comfortable about and coupled with the fact that he sounded unsure of some bible verses he quoted.

He said he is busy at the moment and directed me to the junior pastor to be attended to, while he was visibly not doing anything. May be he can't stand to be corrected by members . Nobody is infallible. we all make mistakes. I can attribute his flaws to lack of preparation prior to today.

My Question: Have you been able to correct a pastor before and what was his/her reaction?

if u haven't, what made you not do so?

No. I havent. Reason being that most pastors have these superiority complex and are condescending


A pastor once said that listening to secular music will give your kids all those weird two heads diseases

Ask your husband if she has relatives you guys can report her to & pls report the matter first to the police before it turns to something brutal. Cuz such lady can go to extreme length to harm u.

Hernyolar

Exactly. Report to the police or her relatives. If you dont she can go violent and your story could be a "woman bites off another womans ear in fight" or you could lose your life. If it happens the other way around. She could claim victim and you cant say self defence. If the other doesnt work. You have to go dirty. This country is corrupt. You might have to bribe the police to send her away. Or get some hefty looking men to threaten her

Ambode is working!.. #Rubbish!

Quote me if your father is a bastard..

Why do you blame ambode for this?

Well, i have decided to part ways with my stubborness and move on from glo? And that means new sim and number..
But i cant just throw my sim away because (emails, social networks,banks,work,family etc) i also need to have a more private number.


I just need three choices to pick from. (All must use a micro/nano sim. Preferably micro) wanted to get the new 3310. But it uses a mini sim (the biggest one), the phone should be portable as well because ill be carrying it with my main phone


Choice 1. Very cheap phone. Just for calls the kind you'd give your grandma

Choice 2. Cheap phone. Possible a very previous version of android, windows,blackberry os 7 below..may run whatsapp and other modern apps

Choice 3. 2015/16/17 budget phone. You should know what i mean here. The 3310 is an example



Please give me your opinions



Update- [s]i am considering the blackberry 9790. Its cheap at 6k[/s] The sim is too big
I may consider a used phone

Private is ok. Babcock,bowen,american uni and one in epe
