I hear that it is part of benue people's tradition and culture to offer their wives up as KOLA to any male visitor that comes calling.
Hahaha, that should be 1022 Tiv tradition. As ancient as the osu tradition.

Lol, I think you meant Logic is a subset of Maths.
Well whichever way you choose to look at it is okay. My argument is that people shouldn't be scared of programming due to mathematics. That's my humble submission.

what is it with you people with benue ladies because over in nasarawa I know of about 7 to 9 anambra guys that married from benue
Lolz, men should always marry those they can live with. My wife is very good and Benue (Idoma) women are very good and well trained. Not all though.

Please lets forget NARSDA in the scheme pf things for now... much as those guys are working.... I dont think Federal Character and the other ills of management in Nigerian public institutuions ..will make the place reach the enviable heights it could play at as a regional centre of excellence ...especially for Western Africa.


But there's record of some illegal mineral mapping by some foreign nationals down in Nigeria....especially the chinese.... For a chinese country to buy up almost an entire village in osun from the traditional ruler.... while our Geological/mineral maps only show gold along the osun river...you can be sure they are up to something....

and of course you're right on the illegality of space mapping on foreign territory....even though I wont put it as something some the asian tiger cannot do. Lets hope we get things roght soon though.

Well done sir... how's research?
You are very correct.

That agency died since 2007. They only employ dullards and abokis (not being tribalistic).
NARSDA scientific officers except for a select few don't even know Jack about remote sensing, at most they use Markov chain and cellular automata for land use land cover prediction and analysis.

Research is going on very well. I'm integrating the covid-19 API to spatially referenced maps so that we would see the covid-19 data based on location. I have already done the API integration using REACT js and got data from the Mapdro.id API https://react-covid19-tracker-by-uzor.netlify.app/ click on the global button to view by countries.

Going by publicised Nigerian data/statistics, you would be right. But there's GIS and other satellite techniques nowadays... They make valuation/assessment of mineral deposits a lot easier and remotely doable. I even learnt that Australia and China have their own in space already so I wont be surprised if these countries already know what we have here and he (Prof. Osibanjo) may be speaking from being privy to that knowledge. Especially with the influx of chinese nationals into places like Osun state and co this time... There may something these guys know that the rest of the populace dont.
Well, I happen to be a GIS and remote sensing expert and NASRDA which is the agency in charge of space research doesn't have the data. OSGOF and NGS possess 1950's dated mineral maps. I learn everyday and I would be glad if I'm proved wrong.

Australia and China cannot take such surveys without the consent of Nigeria and it would be a laborious effort as hyperspectral satellite imageries can be very expensive and tedious to analyse and nobody would do that without heavy pay.

The vice president is wrong in his analysis.

The problem is, the smart ones don't have connection to get into these positions. And it's not like Nigerian government conducts fair recruitment exercises anyways. Even loan requires you know somebody.
It is a pitiable situation. Even lecturing jobs these days require connection.

Do you think he is the only one that has the facts and it means all the federal officials in the ministry - ministers, perm secs, civil servants (retired or existing) don't know what they are doing?
I'm pretty sure you don't know the meaning of ranting. I only proposed a different view of the subject matter.

Programming › Re: I Need Help With My Javascript Training by ProfAmaben(m): 6:01pm On Jul 01, 2020
squash47:
Senior JavaScript experts, since April this year, I have been learning JavaScript on my own.

..

And I have used about 15 different note books to copy some tutorials I see online (because I learn faster by reading).

I have placed each topic into a separate notebook.
E.g function has its own note, object has its note...just like that.
..

My problem now is,
I don't know how to organize the topics.

Sometimes, I will read a topics like: function,
Loops,
If,
Objects,
Arrays,
strings..


I only read a topic if the project I want to build, has something that demands knowledge of that topic.

But I feel like I'm not doing the right thing, cos I know every course has an outline for studying it.


So right now, I need someone who was self taught and has gotten enough experience, to tell me what the syllabus/ course outline of studying JavaScript looks like.

...God bless you.

Only watch his video to get the concept and start coding. Do not fall into tutorial purgatory.

This is a job that would pay 20k monthly. A job to keep our youths busy and reduce crime, yet, they want it suspended.

Don't know about that, Not also a fan of Buhari. But Nigeria has alot of gold reserves, One of the reasons bandits teror significantly increased in zamfara state is because the government banned illegal minning. These northern states are rich in mineral resoures


Can you imagine, foreigners come into our country, collude with top leaders in a state and steal our resources?
I don't dispute that fact, we have gold in large amounts but no one truly knows "how much". When someone says 200 million ounces, it means a recent geological survey has been conducted and the amount has been well estimated. How can a nation be so rich and don't know how to harness it's wealth? We have loads of unemployed people that can be put to use. Nigeria can partner with a reputable company that's well versed in gold mining and do proper mineral exploration and start harnessing it's resources judiciously.

Do you know the meaning of 200 million ounces of gold reserve? Mr Vice president?

A ounce of gold according to (Forbes, 2019) is worth over $40,000. Our VP is telling us that we have over $1,788 * 200,000,000 buried underneath the Earth crust, with the last mineral geological survey being conducted in the 1950s during the colonial era.

I don't do partisan politics but these guys are delusional and formulate all sorts of cheap lies to deceive Nigerians.

In saner climes, you hardly see soldiers, even former chief of army staff of the US army, General Odierno goes around with only a vehicle despite being a full four star general of the number 1 army on Earth and the heavens.

The Nigerian army isn't even in the first 70 armies on Earth but their convoy surpasses that of the Canadian prime minister, the queen of England, the King of Spain and the prime minister of Australia.

This is wrong on every level.

We agree that some Nigerians are scammers, scammers are in every country and it takes gullibility and greed to fall for a scam.

This is a Nigerian thread and I don't buy the idea of you bashing Nigerians unequivocally.

The North contributes little or nothing to the nation's wealth, yet wants to continue oppressing the south
I don't blame them, I blame past administration's of OBJ & GEJ that failed to do the right thing during the period they had the power .
OBJ even tried, 13% derivation was his regime
But our South South brother who ought to be more concerned was busy serving the North
Restructuring is the only way forward, it will happen one day.
That's why I don't hail GEJ, he's the most useless Southern president ever, very daft.

techstack:
Yes, MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js
C# at work and Nodejs for private projects

But lately have been using Nestjs. NestJs is Typescript written on top Expressjs by default. you can change it to Fastify.
Nestjs has the same architecture as Angular.

I always get someone to do the frontend on the personal projects while I focus on the backend, unless at work when I have to do asp.net MVC

If you are cool with Nestjs I can let you in on a project. We have a team already. we are looking for more hands for the next phase

https://www.nairaland.com/5948132/anyone-here-used-nestjs-whats
You have a robust portfolio, it exhudes hardwork and determination. On your question, I am open to projects but this Typescript was the reason I ditched Angular for REACT. I prefer JSX in REACT due to its HTML and JavaScript hybrid platform. If you can give me details on the project, I can sacrifice a weekend to do a Nest.js crash course.
Programming › Re: Has Anyone Here Used Nestjs? What's Your Experience by ProfAmaben(m): 4:18pm On Jun 28, 2020
NestJS sounds very cool and I believe it's modules are similar to REACT components. However, switching from Jsx to typescript needs quite some time. Good work, we need more tech enthusiasts here.

Programming › Re: Why Do Self Taught Programmers Over Exaggerate by ProfAmaben(m):
A degree is just a piece of paper. Even you that studied CS, what did you build as your project without using Google or other online resources? Lemme tell you, someone that took a Fullstack development course on Udemy and practice for a year would do better than someone that studied CS with major in Web development. CS has other departments like networking and I challenge you to bring the best CS student in your class to challenge a third class Geography student I know that has courses in Cisco, NIT, 3 Coursera courses, and 2 Udemy courses in networking. He's currently with an Israeli firm in Abuja teaching Networking to CS graduates.

There's no overexaggeration, CS graduates don't own the computer or software world, anyone that has a good logical reasoning and patience plus determination would excel. Keep your paper somewhere and build your skill, keep building and building. I am a living testimony of the fact that you don't need a CS Degree to talk to computers, all you need is the right resource, time, lots of sacrifice on personal and financial levels to excel.

This is Sunday and I've been in the office since on Friday due to free internet and light smiley, coding and coding and coding.
