I'll be brief so please read me to the end.

The use of technology to improve processes and procedures is always encouraged. Thus INEC using technology to transmit result sheet to their central server is a welcomed development. This is because it reduces the chances of rigging at the collation center.

However I have two concerns. One is cyberattacks, two is robustness/efficiency of the server.

First, INEC needs to have measures in place to prevent the susceptibility of their server to cyberattacks. If they don't, there is the possibility that their server may be compromised on the election day.

Second, INEC need to make their server robust. This is because there will be thousand and thousands of documents that will be uploaded and if the INEC server is not robust, it could be very slow or worse, could crash.

These concerns should be taken care of else this electronic transmission of votes, which was a success in the concluded Osun State election, could be an abysmal failure in the general elections in 2023.

My two cents.

Looks like black on black

Thank God for sparing your life. You still need to go to the hospital though.

Hi Obinoscopy,

First of all I'm sorry to post this here, but I wouldn't know where else to post this. You can delete this post after you may have replied me.

Yeah, you posted it in the wrong section. But I'm replying you in the right section.

I was once in a conversation with you around 2020 concerning the possibilities of a Nigerian trained BPharm holder to practise in USA. You stated the terms, which was quite rigorous, lengthened in time, yet without complete assurance of success. Suffice to say Americans just love their own certificates over overseas own.

On USA Rx twitter on Twitter platform. I've come to realize thousands of American trained Pharmacists are resigning in droves for what they call soul-draining job. I've inquired and been answered that the job is stressful like you would never imagine, the chain employers disrespect you for a living, customers speak rudely to you and everyday you go back home to your wife to pour out the anger and frustration on her.

The sector was painted with a very frustrating tone; retail Pharmacy in USA, now it seems one with Bpharm from here can work PharmTech there with a little training, but pay is considerably lower than full fledged PharmD trained there and also working with the PharmTech in the same drug chain store.

I have also come in direct messaging with about 12 of them from different USA states and they have also resigned/considering to resign and switching to ambulatory pharmacy which has less frustration, or clinical pharmacy at best. It is just so scary because I resigned at a LOCUM job here in a Nigeria pharmacy because of enormous abuses from employers and stress, i wouldn't want to go to the USA after so much time delays and effort to suffer same fate. I'm not young anylonger and can't afford to live my mid-life like that. I am in communication with an American pharmacist who wants to connect me with a retail Pharmacist who could possibly bring me over for a pharmtech role, he keeps telling me it's not that bad as people say but a bit of me tells me he's just whitewashing me because there are tons of vacancies for pharmtechs and he doesn't want to lose out on me; therefore he is covering up.



Now here i am considering two things, I reckon you practise Pharmacy in Canada ? How is the experience like ? is it retail or clinical ? what do you have to say about the work environment ? which region of canada do you practise in ? is it non-frustrating and non-demeaning, non-condescending ? both from employers and customers ? how do they treat pharmacists and more especially you who are trained in Nigeria ? is it pharmtech role as well ? i just don't want to make a switch at soo much cost only to regret it. Is canada better to work in, and satisfying ?

if i'll have to take the pharmtech role in USA, i may consider switching to computer Tech career if I arrive there and the sad news I hear on their twitter becomes my reality ?

True, it's very stressful working as a retail pharmacist in the USA, especially with the big chain pharmacies. Hospital Pharmacies on the other hand are not that stressful however its much more difficult getting into hospitals. And you might need to do the rigorous residency program if you want to get paid well in the hospital.

I never went to Canada so I can't speak to the work conditions there. But I would guess it's less stressful.

Wrong move. He took an insensitive decision. He just took away the means of livelihood of 1000 anambrarians

emmykk:
The problem APC is having is because there are pronounce injustice and threat so the things are not working the way it should .

For example Atiku threat is making them consider Lawan, And the South East and SS don't want the session who have been enjoy VP to produce president.

All these clear obstacle is telling on the primaries.
If WiKe was elected PDP candidate..It would have be easy for APC to just pick candidate from anywhere.
If SW had agreed that SE should produce the candidate of APC there will be no noise.

So the president want a situation where consensus and not election should unite all because if APC don't fulfill some basic requirements most party members will leave

APC is deceiving themselves if they think Lawan is their best bet to beat Atiku. The best person to beat Atiku is Buhari himself (along with the Northern APC Governors). That's why his role in determining who emerges as the candidate is very important. If Tinubu, or anyone from the south, becomes the candidate, he will beat Atiku if he gets the 100% backing from Buhari.

I actually agree with you that one of the problem the APC is facing is the SW/SE dichotomy. If they can both agree on which zone should get the ticket, problem solved for Buhari.

tabaralph:
Read what you wrote again and then interpret itto yourself..so it doesn’t occur to you that every aspirant will obviously submit his own name?

The aspirants will submit three different names in the order they prefer.

For instance:
Tinubu can choose:
1. Tinubu 2. Osinbajo 3. Amaechi

Osinbajo can choose:
1. Osinbajo 2. Fayemi 3. Lawan

Lawan can choose:
1. Lawan 2. Tinubu 3. Osinbajo

Amaechi can choose:
1. Amaechi 2. Ogbonaya 3. Osinbajo

And so on....

Based on these four I just listed, the aspirant with the highest score is: Osinbajo. Get my drift?

maasoap:
Politics is not science. What if you end up having a candidate that can't be sell to majority of the electorates?

I thought that's why the aspirants were screened? The 13 aspirants that made the list should all have the sellable attributes to majority of the electorates.

airsaylongcome:
Methodical way, yes. But the law says for consensus to hold ALL aspirants must unanimously agree. So even if as much as one candidate dissents, they have to actually go to primaries

The goal will be to make all aspirants agree. This can be done by announcing the result of the voting to each of the aspirants and let them know who got the highest score. Buhari and APC NWC will then announce this same result to the delegates and the rest of the world. If all the aspirants still don't agree with the result, then voting can still happen, at least the world is now aware of who is more acceptable among the aspirants.

Boyooosa:
Hmm....
Wisdom
They might not be sincere with the second name tho, after choosing yhemselves

Well that means they will end up shooting themselves in the foot because that "second name" will/could eventually be their presidential candidate.

lecowas:
What is different between voting and what u have said. Lol. U Nigerians just love complicating things unnecessarily. Is this not called an election?

The difference is that it's the Aspirants that did the voting for a consensus candidate and not the delegates. The delegates will then only vote FOR or AGAINST the consensus candidate.

Bimpe29:
I didn't understand you o, how would you ask the aspirants?
It's really the delegates that does that not the aspirants.

See my response above. The delegates will still vote. The aspirant will however make the voting job easier for the delegates by coming up with a consensus

emmykk:
You two scent failed because how if 50 percent of the aspirants where mole of one of the main aspirants?.

The best way to arrive at a consensus is for the governors who also control the delegates be ask who they prefer.

The candidate with the highest preference from governor will be allow to the leading candidate.
Again a moneybag can influence some of the governors choice.

That would be a good option. However, the problem is that the losing Aspirants will feel shortchanged as they were not consulted. That's will I feel the best people to consult for a consensus would be the Aspirants themselves.

DadaStephen1:
Okay
And if each Aspirants writes the list like

1. Me
2. Me
3. Me

What will you do?

amadiwati:
Baba there is no scientific here. I would put my name 3 times.

socialmediaman:
In Tinubu’s list:
1. Tinubu
2. Tinubu
3. Tinubu

In Osinbajo’s list:
1. Osinbajo
2. Osinbajo
3. Osinbajo

In Amaechi’s list:
1. Amaechi
2. Amaechi
3. Amaechi

There you go. Nigerian politics for you

lol, that's not possible. The requirement would be to choose three different names. And the party can also make it a compulsory requirement. That is, if you don't submit three names, you will be disqualified.

Jnana19:
Tinubu has be disqualified as at 1pm today the battle is between osinbanjo,amaechi,lawan

If you disqualify Tinubu, you will end up breaking up APC. It's better Tinubu loses in the Primary OR APC choses a consensus candidate that the Aspirants themselves chose. This way, you limit the chances of APC disintegrating.

Abujason:
So that Tinubu will buy all of them, abi?
Forget that.
It won’t work.
Buhari is not dumb.

I don't think Tinubu can buy them. If he could, he would have done so and make them step-down for him by now. And even if Tinubu can buy them, we'll that means they are not ready to be president. I just think this is the best way to prevent APC from imploding

If I were Buhari and the rest of the APC NWC, the way I'd get a consensus candidate would be from the Aspirants themselves.

How would I do it? I'd ask the aspirants to submit the top three aspirants they think would do great as President. I would then collate all the list and pick the aspirant with the highest score. This way, whoever gets the ticket has a higher chance of being acceptable to most of the aspirants thus preventing rancor within the party.

This is a scientific way to do it.

My two cents.

naptu2:
Actually, it's a mixture. Some of them are armed with guns, some are carrying cutlasses or machetes and some are unarmed. For example, look at the person on the left side at the front of the line (right beside the water tank), he is carrying a gun. The person behind him is also carrying a gun.

Wow that's true. I missed it when I first saw the video.

naptu2:
Reactions.

I don't see any guns. All I see are guys either marching or protesting. Or am I missing something?

[quote author=TheBlackNoble post=110132029][/quote]No need to sho w working. However, you may be wrong or right. Time will tell.

Do not show working please

osayi90:
24

Can you explain how you came about the answer 24?

FWMM by Tiwa Savage. That song is killing me right now. Please does anyone know where I can get just the instrumental of that song without the vocals?

Just state your answer. Don't show the working please.

Find the area of the green triangle. Give explanation.

Is that really Buhari? The face mask is making it difficult to ascertain.

Nostradamus1:
median is definitely 13 but the mode will probably be multimodal since all the initial ntmbers occur once.

Yes the median is 13.

Regarding the mode, let's do it manually:

Selection 1: 9, 11, 13 (mean is 11)
Selection 2: 9, 11, 15 (mean is 11.7)
Selection 3: 9, 11, 17 (mean is 12.3)
Selection 4: 9, 13, 15 (mean is 12.3)
Selection 5: 9, 13, 17 (mean is 13)
Selection 6: 9, 15, 17 (mean is 13.7)
Selection 7: 11, 13, 15 (mean is 13)
Selection 8: 11, 13, 17 (mean is 13.7)
Selection 9: 11, 15, 17 (mean is 14.3)
Selection 10: 13, 15, 17 (mean is 15)

You are right, it's multimodal (12.3, 13 and 13.7). I actually thought it would be a mode of 13.

Nostradamus1:
I guess it should be the same as the mean of the initial 5 numbers .

Correct! If you check it out manually, you'll see the mean is 13 which is the mean if the initial 5 numbers. You are really on fire man....lol.

Ok, next question. What do you think the median and mode of those 10 values/means will be?

Nostradamus1:
This should be combination i think so 5C3 which gives 10

Manual method checks

Correct! You are on fire man!

Okay, here is a followup question. Assuming we calculate the mean of each of the 10 possible selections, what do you think will be the overall mean of those 10 values/means? No calculation, just tell me what you think the answer will be.
