Looking at the picture, the title is Project and not Assignment. Project is given to know something you don't know (new) and even with help from others.
BTW, the Teacher wanted the use visual aid which is necessary for a pupil of that level.

For the spelling error, I guess that's a bad writing and not really an error. I stand to be corrected though.

Samson, rest in peace. Your life was well spent. A selfless leader, a mentor and a pacesetter. You imparted lives, you laid legacy. Pass.ng is a gift, thanks so much. We will surely miss you.

My goal is God Himself - Frances Brook

I heard this hymn today, and it made me renew my commitment to God. To serve Him not for food, nor shelter, not for wealth, nor peace but for He is God


1. My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.


2. So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

3. No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

4. One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.


Friends, can you share your experience of Hymns can inspires you. Thanks

The firm was awarded Best Web Development Agency in Nigeria few days ago

Fortran is a programming language that was developed by John Backus for IBM. The American Computer Scientist developed the general-purpose program in 1957; that was 57 years ago.

In 1992 there was Fortran 90 and most of the so-called Nigerian tech universities still teach their students programming with this 24-year-old language when there are more recent and in-demand options. Even the Fortran in question has a 2008 version.

Taking into cognisance the current shape of the Nigerian educational system, homeschooling children seems to be an option to be given serious thought if you do not have money to take them outside the country. Especially when the disciplines are technology — and science — based.

Most private universities in Nigeria have strong practical technology curricula but are prohibitively expensive. This cannot be said for government owned institutes. However, there are few that have distinguished themselves as leaders in practical technology, and the sciences.

Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH)

Population: 25,000 students

Established in 1990 by Adetunji Olurin, the then military governor of Oyo State, LAUTECH is a state-owned university. It was rated number one in the country by the National Universities Council (NUC) in 2003 and 2004. And since then they have gone on to produce some of the strongest alumni in the tech related field of human endeavour.

The institute is purely technology-oriented and offers courses in Pure and Applied Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Engineering and Management Sciences.

Presently, there is not much exciting infrastructure on ground to be reckoned with, but a student of LAUTECH got international attention when he built drones from locally-sourced raw materials.


Oluyomi Ojo, founder and CEO of Printivo (a fully automated online print service), happens to be an alumnus of LAUTECH. His company has managed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding, within a little over a year of operation.

Oluyomi Ojo
My personal research has shown that 4 out of every 10 technology-oriented professionals in Nigeria that have passed through traditional university education are LAUTECH alumni.

Obafemi Awolowo University(OAU)

Population: 35,000 students

Unlike LAUTECH, the Obafemi Awolowo University is a Federal Government owned institute. It was founded in 1961 by the government of Western Nigeria at the time led by the Late Chief Ladoke Akintola.

Originally birthed as the University of Ife, it was later renamed in May 1987 in honour of Nigerian statesman and nationalist; Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Even though OAU is not purely a technology-based school, a wide range of science and engineering courses are being offered at the institute.

In 2003, the Centre of Excellence in Software Engineering and new ICT complex was commissioned (?) to accommodate computing innovations and needs.

And OAU also housed MIT’s iLab initiative since 2005 and it has been there ever since.


In terms of human resources, talent, and innovations, members of Team Humane — creators of the Humane device for helping the visually impaired interact with smartphones — that represented Nigeria at the world finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2016 are all students of OAU.


Abiola Olaniran, CEO of Gamsole, one of the biggest developers from Nigeria is an alumnus of the university and he too — with a team at the time — coincidentally represented Nigeria in 2010 at the Microsoft Imagine Cup finals in Poland.


Federal University of Technology Akure(FUTA)


Population: 15,000 students

FUTA is located in the rocky town of Akure and was established in 1981 by the government of Shehu Shagari; the second president of Nigeria’s second republic. The institution was built with a goal to drive the country’s technological advancement in terms of human resource development.

Listing Nigerian tech universities without FUTA will be incomplete as the school has held its own in terms of producing quality talent that has not gone unnoticed.

Last year, final year students of the school created and launched NODA; Nigeria’s first platform for making data in Nigeria available for Nigerians and the World.

In February this year, The Boeing Company; the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers chose Oladunni Ogunnubi a final year student of FUTA to intern at its headquarters in its headquarters.


These — and lots more — are probably some of the reasons Webometrics placed FUTA in the 8th position on the list of universities in Nigeria and 1st in universities of technology.

Conclusion

This small list is not even conclusive in itself. The universities on the list did not get there by virtue of their academic uniqueness, neither are they distinguished by their curricula. An alumnus of one of the aforementioned institutes, who is a major tech influencer in Nigeria, reacted when I suggested the curriculum of their school was a factor in the technological advancement of its students.

Do you really believe that it is an OAU thing? Better don’t. Not to make our lecturers look bad — as they are honestly trying their best — but the system is still messed up. How will students be great by pursuing a line of study that has been outdated over a decade ago when the world has moved passed it? No, it’s not the curriculum.

Resourcefulness of the students in these tertiary institutes are what set them apart from the flock. I am not exactly sure of the origin of this innovative spirit, but pointers to collaborative development, peer learning and an autodidactic drive. And the alumni have also played huge roles in mentoring, providing resources and opportunities for the ones still there.

If you are a student or alumnus of any of the aforementioned tech-oriented tertiary institutes, your school is not exactly the MIT of Nigeria, but your resilience and hard work is laudable.

Just Six(6) verses but full of power. It contains everything you could ever think of.

Exactly what the title says. I try to start up my laptop login, then it goes to blackscreen. I tried to gain access using the filter key,it worked but the desktop was still black. I'm unable to gain access to the bios either so as to start using the safe mode. I've looked online for ways to fix this but none help.

I've also tried to contact Microsoft about my problem, they gave me an automated response saying something along the lines of "We're sorry, but we are not familiar with this problem. etc."

I'm using the laptop presently but the black screen is still there.
Please Help.

"It happened in a miraculous way which I have been expecting for long... so immediately my father died I switched over to my mum's religion.

So its a miraculous thing her father died. What a child!

For now no university in Nigeria can be on that list. Am a ladokite(LAUTECH) but if at all one has to be there it will be Unilorin because of their latest research development, high use of information technology and also stable academic calendar

#15, thats a great trait guys u can copy that."stayin indoor" an opportunity to learn especialy wen der s power nd food.

My prayer for those that dosen't believe in miracle is that God will do something great in your life that your level of faith will increase and you will confess JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and personal Saviour.
GOD BLESS YOU

for GOD's thought is far above human's thought,as far as heaven is from the earth so is GOD's... there is no way our brain can comprehend it. it is only by faith man believe.

only those in spirit can understand the things of the spirit,a profane person cannot understand it.i pray the LORD open your eye to see the truth.

If you find that the women you date always turn out to be annoying or weird in some way, maybe you’re just choosing the wrong type of woman. Although dating is not about putting people into categories, there are some personalities that just make a guy want to turn and run. If you steer clear of these 10 types of women, you’ll avoid some major headaches in the future.

1. The Chatterbox
This is the woman who never shuts up, barely stopping to breathe. Seemingly only concerned about what is going on in her life, she always has to make a comment about everything and dominates conversations.

2. The Desperate Chick
This type of woman will seem fantastic at first, until she starts talking about your wedding location, how many kids she wants and the name of your future dog–right after the first date! When a woman advances WAY faster than normal, watch out. She NEEDS a man so bad that she’s willing to put anybody in that slot, even the homeless guy on the corner.

3. The Overly-Critical Woman
Anything you do for this type of woman is simply not good enough. Nothing seems to work unless it is done according to her standards. Anything that is said by anyone will be quickly taken out of context to become some sort of insult or some reason to wage war against the world. This type of woman has plenty of emotional baggage and will make you an angry and bitter person as there will be nothing but misery with her.

4. The Bimbo
This type of woman can’t obtain a GED but has managed to secure a PhD in the science of the bedroom. This is an intellectually challenged woman who looks great but, in all honesty, shouldn’t open her mouth. Her skills are unquestionably only rooted in the physical realm and unless you’re just after one-night stands, you do not want to bring a stupid girl home to meet Mom and Dad.

5. The High Maintenance Chick
If this type of woman breaks a nail, she expects you to drop everything you’re doing to drive her to the salon immediately. Her daddy always told her she was a princess and she expects to be treated like one at all times. She has expensive taste and expects you to shower her with only the best things and take her out to posh places on a regular basis.

6. The Clingy Girl
This woman is a nuisance who can’t go anywhere or do anything without the company of her man. She’ll adopt your interests, calls 20 times a day and fly off the handle anytime she’s not around to monitor your behavior. This type of woman will smother any chance of you missing her by insisting that you spend every waking moment with her, refusing to let you go out with the boys or spend any significant amount of time with anyone else.

7. The Baby’s Mama
This woman has a great physique, great personality and her toes are pretty too! There’s only one problem–she’s got a pretty large amount of children with assorted “baby-daddy’s”, and when women like this get desperate, any and every guy has the potential to be “daddy.” This woman got knocked up by somebody that she was supposedly in love with, and not only is she a bad judge of character, she’s GROSSLY irresponsible. The same guys that are “jerks” now are the same guys she once thought the world of and had unprotected s*x with.

8. The Gold Digger
The Gold-Digger will compliment you on your expensive watch, ask you what kind of car you drive, what you do for a living, where you live and so on. Like the high maintenance woman, the Gold Digger is basically looking for a sugar daddy, she’ll size you up within the first five minutes and drop you just as quickly if your cash flow runs out and you can’t take her shopping anymore. These types of women will just suck your wallet dry and leave you emasculated. Fortunately,you can usually see this type coming from a mile away.

9. The Club Girl
Club girls are nothing more than fantasy women who have been practically living in bars and clubs since they hit the legal drinking age. They have beautiful faces with full lips, big doe eyes, great legs, and all the curves you could ever ask for. The problem in dating these women is that they love to wear clothes that show off their great assets not just to you, but to every Tom, man-hood and Harry on the street. A woman like this maybe carefree and wild; however, once you take a closer look, you’ll realize that her entire life is a party and most nights will end with her puking in your car.

10. The Feminist
This type of woman can never be pleased by a man and she believes that men are the cause of all the pains and suffering of society. It is her strong belief that women are much more intelligent than men and are capable of doing things “the right way”. You don’t want to waste any time with this type of woman because anything that you do will always be negative to her.
