Lemme break it down now. My one of my friends served here in Abuja at Wuse 2 and his house was in Mpape. He spends 700 naira per day.

I'll agree that drops are cheaper here in Abuja than most cities in Nigeria.

... it shudnt cost 350 if he avoids drops and uses "along" taxis..
I spent 500 per day as a corper from kubwa to Area 11 daily.. ie including bike trips sef
but then isn't 700 on a round trip to work affordable ?
I thought u said 1000 before?

Please I really REALLLLLLLLYYYY need help with the KPMG graduate trainee application form. For the page that has projects, scholarships, social, leisure activities and employment record are we to leave it blank or fill it up with sometin?? Finally the last section got me confused that is Independence Section. What investment are my to list and what are d list of entities that one currently hold as a director or secretary or are we to leave dis section blank again? Please I need an urgent help as I will be submitting in 48hrs. Thanks

you must have written a final year project in school, and then any other reasonable activity u wish to write... don't lie tho cos the day of reckoning may come. leave the other part blank if u don't hold investments in any firm Kpmg is affiliated to.

Oga OP I don't agree with you on transport .
1000 ? is the person using drop/cab.. ? u won't even spend 1000 to and fro nyanya to kwali or zuba to Apo . ..
Abj public transport is way cheaper than alot of cities... Esp Lagos!

Nairaland keeps me happy... the Hillarious comments and commenters lol
but seriously, met someone special here! never regretted signing up.

phewww

some fools on here are already calling it show off and eye service... idiots! who una help? secretly or openly !
do ur charity and let others do theirs as they deem fit!

How will "Mercy Johnson " do such giving and the public wouldn't gather and take pictures?
Maybe they should have dropped a truck load of items labeled "for widows" on the road and run away?

Mccchewwww; was she forced to? eye service? pls how do widows help her? does she need their votes to get more roles?

Kudos to you Mr and Mrs Okojie !

SouljaOMD:
Hi Shinelle, please I need to ask you an important question. I think I might have made a huge mistake when I took my personality test. Please can you remember if the first column was for "most" and if the second column was for "least" or if it was the other way round. I will be very grateful if you can help with this information because I feel really bad that I might have cost myself dearly by not paying proper attention to this detail. Please any other group member who has taken the test can equally contribute and help me with this information. Thank you and God bless.

yeah the first ie from the left was "most" and the
second "least" from what I remember. hopefully u did it right

damilee:

From research nd experience most international scholarship requires dt u should have gotten an admission offer in a particular scul or any scul before u can apply coz dey will ask for ur student ID which can only be given to u after uve gained admission. You can also run d two simultaneously if there is enough time before the scholarship closes....hope it helps..

yes it helps.. thank you !

yes is helps.. thank you !

Pls I want to ask a really naive question.

can someone explain how these scholarships work?
like do you have to be an admitted candidate to apply or you get the scholarships before applying to a school or simultaneously?

pls just a summary of the process to studying outside on a scholarship. thanks

had to go all the way for the same one hr test last year.

I guess you could call the HR guys and ask too..

TRPS A.C coming up tomorrow. .
Jesus take the wheels ☺

pls can anyone who knows tell me the average lead time btw A.C and P.I ? (if one is successful in the former.)

SSpeter:
Just finished numerical, Verbal....loading.....Guys if you finish the test don't reveal the nature cos.......they are not grading our percentage rather they are using percentile....which means the first person to take the test will score in the 99 percentile and will remain there until another person answers a higher number of correct questions than he/she then his percentile drops. this means we are competing against ourselves and not an established average.....the numerical was not too difficult and time was good

lol my friend.... haha

bdazzled:
I got the mail

got the same mail but I haven't got the text message they refer to..

Seelurd:
Shinelle. for question 3 You just nailed it. U are very wise and smart. Most people just read question without understanding wat it says. Thats why some fail exams after bragging how sweet the exam was. Wanted to paste the analysis but you just told them the in simple word. Kudos to u. More blood to ur brain.

but question2 might b wrong,incomplete or ur answer cud be wrong.

check this.

The question never stated if the machines are running simultaneously. But if we check the question well using the example stated as

10 machines=10 minutes=10 doughnut, we can deduce that the machines are not working simultaneously cos if they do, the ratio will be 10 machines = 1 minute= 10 doughnut.

But one oda thing is that we don't know how long it can take a machine to produce one doughnut
hence we assume

1) if the machines are working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =1 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 10 machines=1 minutes=10 doughnut

2) if the machines are working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =10 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 10 machines=10 minutes=10 doughnut

3) if the machines are not working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =1 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 10 machines=10 minutes=10 doughnut

4) if the machines are not working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =10 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 10 machines=100 minutes=10 doughnut

from analysis above we can say that 2 and 3 are likely to be the case.Hence we will use those one to calculate the missing TIME.

5) if the machines are working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =10 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 100 machines=10 minutes=100 doughnut

6) if the machines are not working simultaneously and the efficiency is set to 1 machines =1 minute =1 doughnut the ratio
can be 100 machines=100 minutes=100 doughnut

CONCLUSION

THE COMPANIES KNOWS BEST. BUT ONE THING FOR SURE IS THAT THE QUESTION NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED AND IF NOT , I WILL GO WITH MY ASSUMPTION 5 AND 6

wow... long but detailed analysis.
my view though, I want to believe in word problems like the machine question, it is usually assumed that they work simultaneously as the efficiency of the machines are not mutually exclusive.

eg... questions like if it takes 5 men 5 days to dig 5 wells..
I would assume that each man had a well to dig.. so the focus would be on the time it took each man to dig his which is 5 days irrespective of his mate .

same reason why I believe each machine took 10mins to produce it's own doughnut. ie after the stop watch hit 10 mins... 10 doughnuts were available ):


I love brain teasers though, this kinda made my evening!

odimbannamdi:
So i was invited to a job aptitude test in Surulere 2days ago. 3 questions caught my attention. Even though i was quite sure of the answers i provided, i still want to ask guys here for their perusal on them


Here they are:

1. A glove and cup both cost 110naira. The cost of the glove is 100times more than that of the cup. How much is the cup?

2. If it takes 10 machines 10minutes to make 10doughnuts, how long will it take 100machines to make 100doughnuts?

3. A man wants to venture into business so he buys a dozen eggs for 5naira and sells them for 3naira. From his calculation, if he sells 20eggs daily, in 1year he will be a millionaire. And his calculation is correct. How is that possible?

lemme try ):


Number 1.
(100c + c ) + c
101c + c
102 c
110/102
N1.08k
approximately N1


Number 2.
10 mins

reason being one machine takes 10 mins to produce one doughnut . since all machines are running simultaneously, 10 machines will at the end of 10 mins produce 10 doughnuts ie 1 per machine

in the same vein, 100 machines after 10mins (standard time ) will produce 100 doughnuts... I each.


Number 3.
from my deduction the 5 naira is for the 12 eggs
alot of comments above assumed the 3 naira to be each egg... the question says "sells them for 3naira"
didn't see "each " anywhere there...

so if he sells 20 eggs x 365 days = 7300eggs (608.3 dozens)
now at 3naira per dozen... total income = #1,825 naira.

the only way this would be possible to result into a million is if he enjoys economies of scale ie his supplier sells far lower than 5naira in the long run.!
or he's million won't come from sale of eggs alone ):
or else the currency is no longer naira but Zimbabwean dollars.... lol

some people will come and say he's ugly now...

soulhighman:
