intergral:I'm O+ and I can say this is true. |
Wow! |
[quote author=totalhouse post=35586595][/quote]Thanks |
Fynestboi:[b]I want to take this moment to thank the host(Fynestboi), all the coordinators, judges, NL CEO, Seun Osewa and everyone that took part in this competition from the very start. I was part of this last year, I was even the best debater in the first round, but we couldn't make it past the first round due to my partner that wasn't up for the challenge then, so I will like to thank my team mates, Nunushokoto and ibsgal, ibsgal has always been part of the team, she contributed a lot to the success. You have no idea how happy I am to be the best debater and on the winning team. this competition has transformed my writing skills, and built my confidence in writing. I think I should start writing on a blog now, hopefully I will get better. It is so wonderful that you are able to host this competition every year. It is a great opportunity for me, and I'm sure other nairaland undergraduates will benefit from the competition as much as I have. I will also like to extend my thanks to the donors who make this competition a success. I hope that someday I will be able to be as generous as they are. Gratefully, Pseudonomer[/b] |
donkunzman:Thanks, I've downloaded it. |
Oawojobi:Yes, for all departments |
sammyscholar:What do you mean by nonchalant attitude? Nigeria is a country that is just beginning to take the full advantage of IT and we are still far behind but with more young people going to school to study computer science, we will get there soon. In the military regime, the foreign investors that supposed to bring IT to Nigeria refused to because there's no democracy, the market will be unfavourable for them that's why we still lack behind. Look at what America has done with technology, how they use it to improve their economy and well-being of their citizens, Don't you like that? |
Darey4u2010:Yes with Computer Science, by creating a unique database that will include all Nigerian records(Crime, education, background, marriage, properties and son) like the database U.S use that is linked with the SSN(Social Security Number). It will be so easy to keep tracks of so many things and many people, it will be so easy to allocate funds and looting will be checked. The issue of ghost workers will be a forgotten story. |
sammyscholar:There are still so many abandon projects in Nigeria. If we can create a unique database that I guess the Federal Government is working on, it will be so easy to keep tracks of so many things and many people which will improve this country greatly. If we have the record of all working class and retired, students and so on... It will be so easy to allocate funds and looting will be checked. The issue of ghost workers will be a forgotten story. My brother, technology is the way forward in the 21st century. |
sammyscholar:This cannot significantly contribute to the National Development like Nigeria having a company like Google Inc., Apple Inc, and Microsoft. Do you know how much America generates from Tax alone from these companies. The National Security Agency (NSA) which is an intelligence organization of the United States government, responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes – a discipline known as Signals intelligence (SIGINT). The NSA alone makes world trembles on hearing the name of U.S |
sammyscholar:We are taking of Computer Science a course of study in building the nation, how do you separate humans from the applications that human built, it is saying separating procurement and Supply from the people who actually do the work. We need more people to study computer science if we are ever going to see any significant growth. You said "Nigeria has a country has also not been lagging behind when we talk about computer application and it science. you will agree with me that one of the most repute computer guru in america today is a Nigerian" yourself, meaning we are lacking behind economically because we are also lacking behind in Technology. Nigeria as a developing country, if we need to develop like US, UK, Australia, Japan, Canada, South-Africa and the rest of the developed Country we need to take a look at importing our IT. Even Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan said we need to shift out attention from Oil & Gas to Technology if we ever want to become great. |
sammyscholar:No one is talking about taking procurement online. Computer science and mathematics has so many applications which is necessary for national development. A simple calculator is a work of computer scientist, the software that reminds you of your appointments with a client is part of computer science. The Mobile Phone or PC you are using is a product of computer science. So it is so obvious the computer science is more useful in Nation building that procurement. |
darrytoz:How are you sure it hasn't gotten to the rural communities? |
sammyscholar:Why do you think the U.S and Britain is better than Nigeria? Look at this: "Massive increases in computing power, such as those experienced by the U.S. economy, have two effects on growth. First, as IT producers become more efficient, more IT equipment and software are produced from the same inputs. This raises productivity in IT-producing industries and contributes to TFP growth for the economy as a whole. Labor productivity also grows at both industry and aggregate levels. Second, investment in IT leads to growth of productive capacity in IT-using industries. Because labor is working with more and better equipment, this increases ALP through capital deepening. If the contributions to aggregate output are entirely captured by capital deepening, aggregate TFP growth is unaffected, because output per unit of input remains unchanged." from U.S. Economic Growth in the Information Age by Dale W. Jorgenson |
sammyscholar:If you have to deal with big data, and if accuracy and time-factor is being considered. You definitely needs computer |
sammyscholar:Really? Computer scientists are problem-solvers. Do you see the great work of Seun Osewa of Nairaland, a computer scientist in providing a solution to how Nigerians home and abroad can have a place to share their minds and enable them to be aware of happenings in Nigeria by creating Nairaland. He discovered another problem that Nigeria Internet is actually slow compared to other country's Internet service and Data is not cheap in Nigeria. He created a webpage that doesn't consumes much bandwidth and loads very fast. That is how a computer scientists solves everyday problem in developing the nation. If you are into Finance, or Economics. You will know who tedious in Analysing Data(Especially Big Data) before interpreting them. But With a computer software, this can be done easily. Can you calculate 8735272 * 73626272821 off-hand? Definitely No, with pen and paper, it is going to take minutes.... but with a calculator it is just seconds. So how does Computer applications "rubbish the intelligence of human" ? Or don't you think, computers actually make things easier? |
sammyscholar:With computer applications, we as human have become more productive. Look back at the time when we do things manually, look at the era of snail mail(Post-Office Mail) to the new era of e-mail. Communication is faster and better. Presentations have become easier with the use of power points during board meetings making it more easier for business to grow, should I keep counting? |
sammyscholar:Computer Science has been one of the most demanded job in the 21st century. Even Barack Obama make it clear that every American citizen should learn to code. Even Information Technology has been included in our primary and secondary school curriculum. |
Fynestboi:Okay, thanks. |
School: FUNAAB Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our culture. What is Computer science? Computer science is a discipline that spans theory and practice. It requires thinking both in abstract terms and in concrete terms. Computer science can be seen on a higher level, as a science of problem solving. Computer scientists must be adept at modeling and analyzing problems. They must also be able to design solutions and verify that they are correct. Problem solving requires precision, creativity, and careful reasoning. Computer science and Mathematics also has strong connections to other disciplines. Many problems in science, engineering, health care, business, and other areas can be solved effectively with computers, but finding a solution requires both computer science expertise and knowledge of the particular application domain. Thus, computer scientists often become proficient in other subjects. Computer science has a wide range of specialties. These include computer architecture, software systems, graphics, artificial intelligence, computational science, and software engineering. Drawing from a common core of computer science knowledge, each specialty area focuses on particular challenges. Computer Science has been the bedrock of national defense and security, the main reason United States is regarded as the world power. The intelligence community is faced with an increasing deluge of data – including ground- and aerial-based reconnaissance information (e.g., satellite imagery), intercepted communications (e.g., voice, email), captured media (e.g., computer hard drives, videos, images), biometric data (e.g., facial images, DNA, iris, fingerprint, gait recordings), and corporate knowledge repositories (e.g., airline passenger manifests, credit card and bank transactions, employee personnel records, even electronic medical records). The challenge for intelligence analysts is to find, combine, and detect patterns and trends in the traces of important information lurking among these vast quantities of available data – in order to recognize threats and to assess the capabilities and vulnerabilities of those who wish to cause harm. Computational biologists have applied algorithmic techniques to process and understand the deluge of data made possible by recent advances in molecular biology, making healthcare better. Healthcare data is gathered in many places, from hospitals to clinical studies; however, this wealth of information is virtually useless it is organized and analyzed. With the help of Mathematics and Computer Science, today’s advanced systems make it easier than to ever to sift through mounds of research to get to the heart of the issue. On the other hand, the term supply management (Procurement) describes the methods and processes of modern corporate or institutional buying. This may be for the purchasing of supplies for internal use referred to as indirect goods and services, purchasing raw materials for the consumption during the manufacturing process, or for the purchasing of goods for inventory to be resold as products in the distribution and retail process. Procurement and Supply Chain is important to the nation building but not as important as Computer Science and Mathematics. We can see that Computer science professions increasingly drive the U.S. economy; In fact, Information Technology is what makes the U.S the greatest country in the world and has the major contribution to their great economy. Procurement and Supply Chain management also depends on computer scientist to create software for them in order to be effective and faster. By Wikipedia, Supply Management software comprises all of the different solutions which automate the source-to-settle process and include Spend Analysis, eSourcing, Contracts, Supply Base Management, eProcurement, eCatalogs (for Supplier Enablement), and Accounts Payable or ePayables solutions. Software which helps automate the management of complex services like business travel and temporary labor are also included in this software segment. Nigerian banking sector has improved significantly since the invention of technology. Gone are the days I have to walk to a bank, withdraw money from the counter, take a cab to another bank and deposit money to send to my friend. All I have to do now is transfer it from my mobile phone, saving cost and stress. This is the work of the Computer Scientist. Last election is one of the most fair election in Nigeria, reason being the social media and biometric used, everybody were already pasting their Poll Unit result which became difficult to tamper with. The Biometric scanner and software also help against impersonating and multiple voting. For every nation to get developed, the application of both Computer Science and Mathematics has to go hand in hand. Villages are developed into towns and towns to cities and cities are expanding to greater horizons. This expansion has occurred through the expansion of science and technology over the years passed and will be more in the coming years. Today, countries are classified as developed and developing countries. The major categorization is based on economy and the application of science and technology. If carefully analysed, one gets to understand that countries which have a strong base in science and technology are the ones that developed faster. A few examples are of countries like Russia, Japan, Brazil, China, India and many more. It is estimated by the World Bank that seven of the ten largest economies of the world by 2020 would be in Asia, China, Japan, India, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and Taiwan. A few decades ago, these countries were known to have poor policies, low discipline and no advancement and then with the introduction of science and technology in an effective manner, they have made ripples across the globe. It goes without saying that, a nation’s development and prosperity is judged to a large extend by the status of science and technology of that nation. A scientifically unsophisticated society means an underdeveloped nation in al sectors. It is easily understood when analysing that countries like Japan and USA who invest a decent amount for research and development into Computer Science and Technology are in the highest stratum of development whereas countries like Nepal who invest very less amount technology remain in the lowest ladder of development. Without proper implementation of computer science and mathematics, no nation could grow and all those nations that were labelled as low in growth have proved where they stand today and all that has happened only because of science and technology. Procurement and supply chain management is necessary for the nation building but not as important as the computer science and mathematics because with the reasons I mentioned above in this essay implies that a country cannot actually grow in this twenty-one century without the computer scientists.

donkunzman:I will appreciate sir, if you can post the link |
lucksonlight:Yes, All university exams. I wrote most of my 100Level exams as CBT and some in 200L, and even some test too. Agric students are meant to use cbt from 100l to 500L. CBT exams for all students started about three or four years ago in FUNAAB. |
Something wey don dey happen in FUNAAB for the past three years now. |
HungerBAD:Nigerians can criticize... What I will say is that she's beautiful if she can look this pretty with pregnancy. |
donkunzman:The registration is not on yet for the June 2016 exam and I think it will take like September for the early registration. But I want to start reading something now since I have a lot of free time till December. |
Can I use a 2007 CFA 1 study material for the June 2016 exam. Will it still be relevant? |
Peaceisgold:I broke up with my girlfriend that did not wish me happy birthday on June 29. |
agentzico:I have a situation in my school, the boy is 18yrs old, the girl is 17yrs and they are both in 200l. Useless bill, when a 40yrs old man is allowed to marry a 10yrs old girl. |
kendrick9:She said: “A girl from my village in Akwa Ibom, who resides in Akure, Ondo State, told me that one madam she currently works with needed the service of a house help. Your comprehension skill is -10000 |
