when we tell people we want biafra the say government is trying for you guys look at it federal government cannot build International airport nor anything in East

So the one the just renovated at Enugu, it is your father that built that?

Whatever works for you.

I'm about starting my journey into data analysis and would like a recommendation on which learning platform to use. So the question is Coursera or linkedin which platform should I use?

CourseEra is quite expensive.


I would advise you go for Udemy or Youtube.

Check a dude called MikeExcelIsFun on youtube.
He has everything you needed to start with from excel to power BI.


For python, search a dude called CodeBasics on youtube. He teaches python and machine learning like teaching kindergartens .


For SQL, go to pdfdrive.com and search for a book called LearningSQL. If you are not the book type, you can go for Udemy course too for that.


If you need some other stuff, remember, google is your friend.

we aren't talking about the stone ages or past bro

We are talking about our generation

Especially down Nigeria

The female folks are way ahead of their male counterparts

Go to different higher institutions to see for yourself

My department is a mixed one, the whole ladies graduated successfully without having extra year nor sleeping with any lecturers

While we have more than 12 guys with sumptuous numbers of outstanding results

My friend project was on performance of students across lagos state tertiary institutions

The female folks are doing pretty well than the male

This is the most foolish comment I have read so far.
So because no girl graduated without extra and not sleeping with lecturers in your school make you lot superior? Thats absurd.

And the lecture who graded your supposed friend's project need to be checked properly. He probably had a fling with your friend to accept that fallacy of a project.

The only best thing that has happened to female folk of this generation is Chimamanda Adichie.

The rest of you are bunch of idiots parading themselves as the best new thing on social media like you are doing right now.

already started my journey into data science, prior before now I had a mentor(my cousin) who is a data scientist in Australia who talked extensively on data science and gave various tools necessary. So I brushed through excel by taking some course like analysing data using excel and other courses on Edx(videos) then currently learning sql using sql server express learnt basics using w3schools and sqlzoo which am done, practicing using ssms and sample database like(adventureworks and northwind) so refreshing. Also I have some PDFs book having questions and problem from beginner to advance on the sample database listed, once am done I will also take some courses on edX. Afterwards would move into python and other tools.


just wanted to share my journey for the past one month. thanks Ejiod and other contributors.

if you are also on this journey into the world of data science quote me, let's relate �

This is the path I would always advise any newbie

Hinokami:
Hi guys, anyone who has dataset one could use to build portfolio projects?

or can point me where i could get, sales is way too common. I need something more unique.

Go to kaggle.com and register.

You will have access to all the datasets for anything in this world.

That's Big abass.

A renown professor globally

Almost all of us used his chemistry textbook in 100 level.


RIP Prof.

Hello guys,

I got a DM from recruitment consultant from LinkedIn for these two roles:


Database administrator
Data engineer.

I could not take it cus I am engaged with an employer but I can refer people as she asked.


If you are good with track record to show your are really good at these two roles:

Please quote this tweet and reach out to me.

If you are very good at excel and could manage in an admin office of an indian colgomorate,

Please send a CV to wallacetechnoid@gmail.com


Note: I am not promising anything. Just trying to help here.

Anybody has any recommendation for an internationally recognised certified course for SQL?

simplepee:
It's not late or abnormal.

Infact I'm not sure I can marry a man under 35. Men are very slow with sense. That 35 sef, some of them still don't have sense.

This is an aberration on the male gender.

How did you come up with that.

I thought the contrary is the case when it comes to women.

FreeStuffsNG:
As at then, public smoking is normal and permitted. In fact, the most popular ads on Tv and Radio then were by Tobacco companies. You will hear on radio ads like "Cigar Target o!Na wa!".
But a lot has changed now so much that even cigarette packs now carry warnings that you are liable to die from smoking. Late President Shehu Shagari at that age, is not different from most of his age mates then ,he was probably in his late 20s or early 30s in the video and he's still looking charismatic. So it's not a big issue.

The late Prime Minister's clearly brilliant and knowledgeable about the subject he is talking on as this was a big issue then to discuss because of the civil rights movement in the US , so here he's throwing Nigeria's big national pride and international clout against racism considered then such sensitive international debate. Wow!! No one will believe he is the leader of a country that was barely 5 years old with such aura and authority of power & influence he was oozing ; he went as far as stating categorically what he told the US political leaders while in Washington against racism. His diction and command of English is topnotch and his trademark baritone voice is so Presidential and reminds me of the voice of late Dr. Martin Luther King.

Up till now, I still wonder why this man and others like Chief SL Akintola and Premier Sardauna Alhaji Ahmadu Bello had to be assassinated. Unlike their peers in other regions who lived long enough to reproduce more of their followers, these two Leaders of Northern extraction were killed in their prime and did not live to do that for the North and till date, sets the North back so much that they are yet to recover. May we never experience such calamitous national loss again. God bless Nigeria. Our heroes past shall not be in vain. @ OP , thank you for sharing this.

Reasonable comment I have read in a while aroud here. Good we still have few intelligent guys around on NL

It's a shame despicably evil people want to say Messi is better than this dude ..This dude is clearly the best ever

So because of tap in and penalty wey him dey score against luxemborg and malta, we should fry beans?

The Igbos parading themselves as IPOB or supoorters of the UGM are the most stupid and sometimes half smart people in the country right now.
And this is coming from ill education and misinformation from the manipulative educated folks among them. Kanu ditch out False facts and misinformed the illiterate among them and set their own place which is still yet to to recover from the last civil war on fire again. Isn't that stupidity?

And the fact that the populace cheers them on while they are self destructing still marvel.

A quick reminder that the civil war didn't step a foot in the north. Not even past Ore. all the devastation and all happened within your own land ad you wanna repeat the same again even now with no international backing and killing of securities officials and you think any sane country will come to your rescue while you go do that? again, not so smart people.


The only thing the folks enjoy now is that the country has a clueless president with no balls.

Netanyatu did worse to innocent palestines and heaven did not fall. now they are counting their losses

What these guys in the east are doing to the govt buildings, infrastructure and official is called Guerillas warfare.

Mandela used that tactics in South Africa and landed him 27 years in prison.

By the time the brutal Nigerian army who are known for molesting civilians match these guys with full force, many will not be here to tell the story.

Fortunately for them, they have a vegetable who has no clue and no balls to command respect from the military.

You there not try this shit with OBJ.

Not surprise, many idiots are on NL

IMO, Power BI is Python and Excel combined, apart from ML.

initially I learnt PBI using Kiril Eremenko's course on Udemy, he only treated visualisation, in 3days I was done and I felt like what's the hype about PBI since its only Drag and drop... lol
I went back learning python till I was comfortable.

I was making research, then i discovered I could do more with PBI. I went back and got another video on udemy like 5gig content.
mehn this guy broke down PBI in and out.

basically PBI is divided into 3parts, visualisation, Power Query and DAX... with Power query, you can manipulate and query data to taste.
with DAX, you can carry out any data analysis calculation(This is deep).
Formally, when I wanted to do any anything involving datetime analysis and Forecast, I would use Statsmodel's ARIMA in Python, and that could take average of 10lines of serious Code, when I came across PBI, I could forecast with 3-4 clicks... mehn I was stunned.
most people don't know that one can Webscrape with PBI, you can do allota wonders with that monster package.

I would advice everyone to take full advantage of it if you really wanna go deep in Data Analytics.

you can contact me for materials or link to good materials.
peace

Edit:
When it comes to Business Intelligence, it has Data modelling ability where you can link many Datasets together so they interact as one and so many more.

But scraping from web is not as palatable as we may think. This works the same as get data from web in power query in excel shared with power BI.

The only downside to both is, they can only scrape from table.

Beautiful soup and other scraping framework give you flexibility to scrape unstructured HTML page.

You are so on point.

Forecasting with ARIMA comes with a lot of stress. Picking the right order values and all.

Poor me just learnt you can actually carry out forecasting from power BI. Had to google that just now and like you said, its just a few clicks.


Learning never stop as they say.

Thank you chief.

I fear the dude that killed those monkeys.

That dude can kill a whole human being.

Tueh!

just to put this out there tho, interviewed for a Data Analyst role last week, got to the last stage and negotiated for a salary for 250k (Entry Level). could have been picked just that i am still serving and i am not in Lagos (Job is in Lagos and requires you to be on-premise at least twice a week). this thread has been helpful alot since i started my journey. Keep pushing everybody! it is a rewarding career.

Is this around Adeniyi jones in Ikeja by one marketing firm? Yeah I checked them out, they are legit.

Got scheduled for an interview their last week.

I was not feeling too well so I asked for a rescheduled or remote interview.

Never heard of the since

The cert is well recognised everywhere in the world.
there is data analyst, business intelligense, database management, software engineering and host of others to choose from.

Its 3 Commanders bro!

Isreal will wipe out Hamas or anyone there!

A tiny nation surrounded by Enemies and yet living in Plenty should give people understanding of who they are.

Israel is a Nation that Exist by a Covenant. A Strong Covenant with GOD ALMIGHTY, the Creator of Every being on Earth. Israel does not even need the Help of anybody. But Nations fight to Help them so as to partake of the Covenant.

Nobody, Nation, or people can Remove Israel! It is a Strong Covenant.
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

The Israelites could be stubborn and heady. Infact majority of them do not even Believe JESUS Christ as their Messiah.
GOD Almighty knows how he deals with them. Atimes when they go astray, GOD raises people to fight them, but after fighting HE deals with the People or Nation that Fights them.

Existence by convenant and yet kill children and women.

What kind if stupid religion do you people from both side worship.

For those who haven’t written , yes some past questions were repeated but it wasn’t exactly as it was in the previous, it only gives you an edge that you already read this passage carefully while studying.
For eg the high intelligence and short sightedness was repeated for me, but there was a twist in two questions , asked from the previous , same with the passage about insurance and competitive prices,so if I just crammed answer na failing things, haven’t you guys thought of SHl examiners reading this thread with us.
They’re not dumb .
If you have not written, study to understand ���

Speak for yourself dude,

The insurance, water supply and climate change questions came out word for word for me.

dayjeee:
pls can you sent me the past question materials?

Its the same drop box flooding this thread.
