guy i hope you re certain.lets not raise peoples hopes only to dash it to the floor again.

@michaelid re we coming to abuja again....thought we re going direct to where we re supposedly going to be posted

my uncle's friend who works hand in hand with the DIRECTOR NSITF,called me sometime last week to know where i'd like to be posted.He said poseting is in progress as at then,hopefully we will be called upon anytime soon.

ethyluv can u add me on my bbm if you dont mind pls 311D8E83....reasonable guys too can add

i went to piss my self....he actually mearnt i went to ease myself :Di went to piss my self....he actually mearnt i went to ease myself

afrobaby: What u shud do now is, just tell the father of ur baby, because that is what I see him to be, that he is right about the fact that "u didnt look before u leaped", but now ur eyes are wide opened and u an see, and don't want to leap or jump again, it's over. Concentrate on ur studies, the sky is just the begining, get good grades, secure a good job, and I tell u, better man go come ur way, but this time around, look wella o

PLEASE DON'T GET PREGNANT FOR HIM AGAIN O, IT IS NOT EASY TO FIND SINGLE MAN THAT WILL MARRY A MOTHER OF ONE, NOT TO TALK OF TWO O

how you guys think one can make all the good grades just in your finals....for crying out loud this girl doesn't seem like the very serious type.she marries this uneducated guy probably because he has money,got pregnant for him just to seal the contant flow of cash from this dude.His guy must have spent so much on this girl to believe that she's just the money type.He's just doing the pay back time tingy.As much as I want to be optimistic,you must have spoilt this guy view of you.He couldn't just leave cos you re already pregnant for him.she doesn't have a prospect,she was just after money.that's validates his husbands statement"look before you leap"all that glitters is not gold

Abujafood: Ruggedman shut your trap. Giving or doing right is optional even God would prefer to keep quiet and wait for their time to demand for their stewardship while alive. Leave them to their conscience and stop coercing them publicly if they don't feel like giving, by the way I hope you met them privately to say these things too otherwise it would be mere eye service trying to impress only God knows who!

my friend do you read to understand at all?the bone of contention is that these set of celebrities are giving out false information ,resultantly hindering others who genuinely would have donated to believe that help has already been proffered

lyfe: What the poster said isn't far-fetched. Money! Money! Yea money is important and should not be looked on as something not necessary as far as relationship is concerned. Have money I mean good money that oozes on you, then watch love walking your way left and right.

...now is this what you call love these days?

I wanted to influence my posting.could it be too late after the posting cos my sponsor wants me to go through with the posting and then if its not comfortable with me,I could let him know

Am cute than these guys[color=#770077][/colo r]

Please has tonto been sick,she really looks sick

chiomen: Getttin from this thread...

T.A has inspired us in Abia positively, I dont know about your own governor. For us in ABia we are not complaining

you be fool o...re you sure you are not one of those sycophants that whistles and beats drum around with him while evacuating gutters...still wondering how he inspired any single abia indegine cos i dont think you are one.

Foxy_Vista: [size=20pt]Is this not the same Governor that calls journalists and drummer to roll their beats when digging a gutter?

Abia don Suffer Abeg...[/size]

and you can imagine how much he pays those sycophants

seun,if Gej did this,you 'd probably joined to call him mr retardeen,week,unstable and on and on and on......now thats how hard it is to be at a focal point where you re sorrounded by 'human' which ofcourse are controversial,and you re percieved as a leader!....my point?...respect leader esp leaders in a religiously domineering country like nigeria.

Please what's the update

Why do I feel uneasy with the rate virtually all the girls in this thread seem to accept this act of abortion....isn't it a pointer to a very low moral amongs women of our time

From afar,an MIT grad student Chidube Ezeozue devotes energy to his fellow Nigeria



Like many Nigerians, MIT graduate student Chidube Ezeozue grew up frustrated by his nation’s erratic electrical grid.

“Electrical outages are a huge problem in Nigeria,” says Ezeozue, who is pursuing dual master’s degrees in MIT’s Technology and Policy Program and in electrical engineering and computer science. “The outages really interrupt everyday life.”

Nigeria’s supply of electricity is severely limited, resulting in rolling outages: Power is cut off every few hours and redirected to neighborhoods that were previously in the dark. While Nigerians know to expect these power cuts, they rarely know when the outages will happen, or how long they will last.

Since coming to MIT in 2011, Ezeozue — who received his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the University of Nigeria in 2008, followed by three years of work at a software startup — has created an app, with his brother, that crowdsources information about Nigerian power outages. With the app, called NepaSituation, people living in Nigeria can report outages. This data, when merged into an algorithm developed by Ezeozue, can help Nigerians predict when power outages may strike their neighborhoods, and how long those outages might last.

“With over 100 million cell phones in Nigeria, we knew it was an important resource we could tap into,” Ezeozue says. “It took a while to come up with this algorithm, because the outages are pretty randomized, and the app is only as good as the number of people who enter outage data.”

But Ezeozue has delved into more than just tracking the problem: He is also working to address Nigeria’s chronic energy shortage.

“I started a company that is working to provide solar electricity to businesses and families at zero upfront cost,” Ezeozue says. The company, SolarKobo, was recently funded by a seed grant from MIT’s Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, where Ezeozue is a fellow.

“Nigeria has plenty of solar energy available … for as low as $25 a month, we can make this resource available to those who are interested,” Ezeozue adds.

When he is not working toward the betterment of his homeland, Ezeozue researches machine learning and prediction algorithms in the research group of Una-May O’Reilly, a principal research scientist in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

“We are trying to use medical data, such as blood-pressure levels, to improve patient care,” Ezeozue says. “We observe states that patients’ [blood] pressure goes through and eventually we can predict what state they will go to. These predictions help doctors determine what to expect next.”

Ezeozue is also passionate about education. Along with other Nigerian students at MIT, Ezeozue has started two initiatives to encourage students in Nigeria to pursue higher education outside the country.

In one of these initiatives, which is aimed at high school students, Ezeozue and Chika Ugboh, an MIT chemical engineering student, bought preparatory materials and paid for a few students in one Nigerian school to take the SAT. While this pilot, which was launched in 2011, was not an unequivocal success, Ezeozue says, “We learned that simply providing the materials isn’t enough — it has to be accompanied by mentoring and training.” He and Ugboh are now working to assess how these Nigerian students learn best.

The second of these initiatives is aimed at Nigerian undergraduates: Working through their own networks in Nigeria, Ezeozue and other MIT graduate students are encouraging Nigerian undergraduates who might be interested in postgraduate study abroad.

“The goal is to build a generation of highly educated Nigerians who will hopefully go back to build a better Nigeria,” Ezeozue says. “I plan to eventually go back to Nigeria.”

For now, after graduating from MIT in June, Ezeozue will remain in Cambridge, working as a software engineer for Google.

...nw thats one thing about nigerians,they abuse every privilege...Amnesty as practiced in every othercountry around the world has never been abused as its presently being abused in nigeria?

my brother,they don do all the praising,make i do all the collecting.abeg forward to: princeworld_2004@yahoo.com

Is there no possibility that this chap in question co uld have made a cgpa of 3.49 which is ofcourse still a 2.2 with an 'infinitesimal'difference of 0.01 and yet he shares out of this same unfair treatment.I know a couple of people who missed the point by this comparatively immeasurable point difference yet they get a different treatment from a fellow colleague who was lucky to highup to this 'upper'with 3.5 cgpa...and yet,we rate intelligence between this two parties differently.smh

I wouldn't know the nairaland section where this should fall into,however,I believe that should be part of what a moderstor should do .anyway sha,its an observation I made while I was trying to make a cv along side my guys.in the process I had a colleaque who happens to be a big time stammerer with whom I was in this assignment of making our cv.in the process,something caught my attention in his personal skill option...omoh mehn...na templete things so no mind if you no dey do ur own like that.well,in that section ma guy wrote 'excellent communication and interpersonal skill'this is not a way of trying to make fun out of his condition but its just that most often than not,a lot of people do lie tenaciously in their cv about what they re not just to make it attractive...now I wondered,what could be the dangers as regards to this,because I fit do my own like that o if I don't get an advice worthwhile

A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has warned that the refusal of President Goodluck Jonathan to grant amnesty to terror group, Boko Haram, can plunge the country into another civil war.

Ribadu, who was the presidential candidate for the Action Congress of Nigeria in the 2011 presidential election, spoke on Liberty FM in Kaduna on Saturday.

He urged the President to grant amnesty to the violent Islamist sect for peace to return to the country, saying he (Jonathan) should not claim that the sect members were ghosts.

He argued that with the way things were happening in the country, if nothing was done, “Nigerians will lose Nigeria to a civil war.”

Advising Nigerians against voting for a leader they can not trust, he told Jonathan to “hearken to the voice of the people.”

Ribadu said, “Jonathan was wrong to have said he will not grant amnesty to Boko Haram; he should not fail to protect the people and when people call saying we are tired, we are down; even if it means to dialogue and have an solution to the whole process, he should opt for such.

“You cannot say they are faceless because faceless people do not do things like this. Faceless people cannot be responsible and daily you see them on Facebook. Faceless people cannot be in your custody; ghosts cannot be people that are in the community, people who at a point wanted to dialogue.”

The former EFCC chairman added that a war could be averted “if we come together forgetting about sentiments, about differences and working towards unity and saving the r

well after so much suspense and lingering,nta finally got us to write the test.in my own opinion the organisation was fairly handled but with the kind of questions,one will imagine if it actually a criteria for their selection or just an act to fufil all rightousness...pls what was your experience what you could conclude out of the whole scenerio.

Make una take am easy with the op....na copy and paste.the bros no know say e go be like this

I just got mine.I think the next line of woory should be what format their apptitude test questions comw with.should we go on with GMAT or will a little digress to current affairs be okey.please a prior knowlege from anyone as per what their test looks like should help out.God bless.BTW,for those that re yet to get their notifications,just a little patience will do as I believe they ve got a huge number of applicant and are probably working on it in batches.CHEERS!
