sniperwolf:
Division is neither commutative nor associative. But when you use OF, DIVISION and MULTIPLICATION, you get the same solution however you want to rearrange the problem and same can be done for EXPONENT, DIVISION and MULTIPLICATION
a ÷ b x c = a x c ÷ b

GOOD!
Here, you talk of "order of operations" not associativity or commutativity.
Have a nice day.

sniperwolf:
The rule still remains BODMAS. Parentheses and brackets are used interchangeably.
Of, Division and Multiplication are both Commutative and Associative. Same can be said for Exponent, Division and Multiplication

Dear,
Is Division commutative and associative?
COMMUTATIVITY: a ÷ b and b ÷ a are they equal?
ASSOCIATIVITY: a ÷ (b ÷c) and (a ÷ b) ÷ c are they equal?
CHECKS: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 while 2 ÷ 6 = 1/3. They are NOT equal.
12 ÷ (6 ÷ 2) = 12 ÷ 3 = 4, while (12 ÷ 6) ÷ 2 = 2 ÷ 2 = 1. Also, they are NOT equal.
DIVISION is neither associative nor commutative.

buksaylor001 just updated his post with good explanation.

PEMDAS adds the exponent/index operation to BODMAS, while BODMAS has Of which is same as Multiplication.

P - Parenthesis and B - Bracket are the same.
MD or DM, the same level of operation.

Both are still almost the same and correct. You can use any of them that appeals to you and suitable for what you are doing.

I will always keep you guys posted on further developments. Anyone wey sabi wetin I fit say to get this job, abeg make im help me ooo. I will be highly grateful for that.

Their interview I attended was for a lower position in 2010. The experience then may be of little or no value to this now, especially, considering that the panel can not consist of exactly the same people. But, I have this to say from that experience.
1) Follow general interview guidelines and be confident and cheerful.
2) Mind the subjects you made high grades in your SSCE. They may test your ability in those subjects.
3) Master your CV and be ready to explain in clear terms any area of it. Make sure your responses will tally with what you submitted in your CV.
4) Be prepared to defend the roles of the position you applied for. That is to answer role-specific questions.
5) Go through the WAEC website and master their organizational goals and be ready to include them carefully in your responses. Also master the member countries.
6) Be ready to answer questions like "Can we meet you?". This requires concise and smart introduction of yourself, like in your CV.
7) They are always careful about your dressing, salutation when you enter, facial contact, confidence and ability to recall information instantly. For the last one, they may introduce themselves when you enter and ask you after other questions to recall their names.

Wishing you the best.

IrradiatoR:
yes, he said he applied as AR Test Admin

that's why I'm on the look out for Subject Officer applicant

OK.
I think we have to relax then and wish the invited the best. The search continues.

IrradiatoR:
please, have they invited any Subject Officer?

Have you seen or heard from any other person invited for interview, at least a 2nd person apart from this our brother here?
Pls call those you have their contacts and see.

Mopolchi:
next week and at Lagos

Congrats! My brother.
I wouldn't have just expected the interview now that marking is ongoing and for WAEC to give you up to a week notice for interview.
Once again, congratulations. Let others who have received the invite also indicate so that the uninvited will relax.
Wishing anyone invited the best.

IrradiatoR:
bro, have you gotten an invite?

none here

I am yet to see one.

Mopolchi:
I have just been invited for an interview with WAEC. God, thank you, Sir. Check your emails.

Bro,
When is the interview holding and where?

Possibly, the outcome of OBJ and GEJ visit and advice.

DickDastardly:
Has TB Joshua reacted with his prophesy yet?

How I wish those prophesies help us to avert the disasters, especially if they are really from God.

End time vulture

Indeed. But to a typical Nigerian this Vulture is not ordinary.

Plane Crashes After Hitting Vulture in Spain, 3 Killed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MAY 20, 2016
MADRID — Spanish authorities say three French people were killed when the light aircraft they were flying crashed in a small northern town after reportedly colliding with a vulture.
A Navarra regional government statement said the two men and one woman died when the plane dived into a small plot between two houses in Arbizu on Thursday.
The statement Friday said an eyewitness saw the plane colliding with a vulture before crashing.
The government said the plane was flying from Coimbra in central Portugal to Dax in southern France.
It said no one in the town was injured although several residents were treated for shock.

Abeg make una help me, am new here, don't know where and how to comment and I seriously need to reply dis op.

You've already done that.

The calculations in the post are deceitful.
1. It makes use of the parallel market exchange rate in Nigeria and the official exchange rate in those other countries. The official exchange rate in Nigeria is N199/$, making the price of fuel in dollars $0.73/L.

2. The minimum wage and general salary structure in these are not comparable.

3. Why didn't the post mention countries where the writer agrees that fuel is cheaper for us to compare too. Must it be one-sided analysis?

This fraudulent analysis is meant to deceive the public.

A great lesson.

DaudaAbu:
Pls note that the Saudi report above was from 28th Dec 2015

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT REMOVE SUBSIDY BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUBSIDY AT #86.5 PUMP PRICE OF FUEL
This is what the government has done. The government has simply stopped giving foreign exchange to fuel importers and has asked them to source for foreign exchange through secondary sources.

Why has the pump price of fuel increased from #86.5 to between #135 and #145? This is specifically is as a result of the difference between the official exchange rate and the informal (parallel) market exchange rate.
This is the simple mathematics. The official exchange rate is #199 per dollar while the parallel market exchange rate is #320 per dollar. This represents and increase of 37% (320-199/320 × 100 = 37.8%).
This reflected exactly in the new price of petrol as it increased from #86.5 to an average of #140 which is an increase of 38% (140 - 86.5/140 ×100 = 38%). There may be a gap in the dissemination of information to the public and it is totally regrettable.
The Federal government cannot continue to be the sole source of foreign exchange for the importation of fuel in the face of falling price of crude resulting in the depletion of our foreign reserve. It Is unsustainable and cannot satisfy the domestic consumption of fuel in Nigeria. Nigeria gets foreign currency from the sale of crude and the price of crude has fallen by over 70%. This means that the government no longer has enough dollars to give to fuel importers. A lay man should be able to understand this. With the competition that will set in from the open market, it s expected that these pump price of fuel will naturally crash in time.

You got your calculations wrong.
1. The government announced price of <=N145, which makes N145 the official price, since we know that you can't get it anywhere for less than N145.
2. The percentage increase is calculated on the old price and not the new price. This is because it is the value from where the increment is made. Hence, the rate is (145 - 86.5)/86.5 = 58.5/86.5 = 67.6%
Therefore the increment is a 68% increment.

Any info on this recruitment?

SSCE May/June ended yesterday, 13th May. Normally, members of staff posted to various parts for the conduct of the exam will return and scripts will be taken to the states were they will be marked. There's usually a small gap between collation of the scripts and the marking exercise, which will also involve all staff.
Hopefully, they will use that little gap before marking for the interview. Going by this calculation, one will expect the interview to hold between ending of this May and June.
This is only a personal assumption.

Presbulg:
shut up. How some people reason with their anus baffles me
If you believe what you wrote up there, you need help.

Wise men attack issues while fools attack people.

These are Boko Haram Herdsmen. They are only disguising as Herdsmen. Buhari knows about the move.

They should be sincere to themselves and discuss the way forward for their people. Nigeria seems not to be a home for all her people.
The people that you represent have right to life.
Their interest should come first, even if it means Nigeria breaking.

Invite for rescheduled CBT now coming in. Mine is 18th.

Catalyst4eva:
I got the invite as well. I will be writing in Enugu, though I applied at the WAEC office PHC. Who else is going to Enugu from PH city?

Going from Aba. What position?

kizuwa:
Mine is subject officer (Physics). Test venue is Foretrust Digital Consult Ltd, Enugu. Anyone going from Abia?

Yes.

ofeco:
Hello house!! has anybody from Abia gotten? it seems they are doing it in batches. I have only heard of Ogun, Lagos and Enugu.

Yes! Subject Officer - Maths

Anyone invited to Enugu? That's my exam city. Let's chat.

ruqoyah26:
I didn't see their message
.

It may still come. I don't think that they sent all the invites as the SMS looks personalised.

yak:
which city dd u submit d application? just noticed that most Abk peeps got same blank txt

I submitted through their state office in Umuahia.
They will definitely do something about it.
I suggest too that if nothing happens to correct this by Monday, you can visit any of their offices to let them know or find an email from their website.

jamauldeen:
When was the message sent out, and what position did you guys applied for. I applied for Test Administration Officer, and I haven't received any message for test invite.

Got the SMS before 7pm this evening. Subject Officer

yak:
mine is a blank messg

Let's pray the message comes again or they send a backup email containing the details in the SMS.
The SMS contains your exam centre, time and candidate ID, among other things. So it is important and unique for each candidate.

Finally, WAEC has sent invite for CBT. Wishing us goodluck and God's favour.

For those writing the test on Saturday, it is time to brainstorm. Let's get back to discussion on possible questions and preparation tips.

Any idea on what to expect from WAEC?

This is wickedness.

One article that I read on-line shows that a certain Sunni's leader in Nigeria wrote Buhari before he was sworn in and asked him to carry out a clampdown on the this movement.

If that is true, it is a premeditated crime against humanity and should not be wept under the carpet.
