You need to start speaking like you had anything to do with education. Should you continue this way, its a shame your parent wasted good sum of funds on you.

Lol. You're a clown.

adedayourt:
Same way PHCN does not owe you constant power supply
Same way your government don't owe you good governance
Same way network providers don't owe you quality service
Same way the police don't owe you protection of lives and property.

Its all the beauty of free market, if they are not there, what would you have done.

Lol you have a fundamental lack of understanding of this subject.

The government owes us services because we pay taxes. The government does not operate in the free market (please look this up of you don't know what it is).

adedayourt:
You go buy a loaf of bread and sees the wrap rumpled and stained with mud. Packaging looking so terrible but the seller tells you not to mind that the loaf is ok. You still not satisfied with the loaf.

Then an idiot tells you to go build your own bakery is you not ok with what you getting.

Reason am!!

The seller is perfectly justified. He doesn't owe you a clean loaf of bread just as you don't owe him your patronage. That's the beauty of the free market.

If he wasn't selling what would you have done?

I never bothered to read the story initially. I just wonder what goes on in the sort of mind that could fall for this.

Reasonwithme2:
1. How many children are born every day?
And: Babies are born daily, children there is a wrong use of context


2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

Ans: no matter the height an egg doesn't break when dropped on the floor, the floor in the context means ground.

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

Ans: it's a 50 50 probability meaning that you'd have 5 heads and 45 tail each

4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

Ans: the key here is taking out an apple in an apple and orange box labelled oranges. You'd correctly label the apple and orange box and then you switch the rest.



I just answered them. After about 45 minutes of reasoning, but if this was an interview, I won't have such time...

Why did you quote one sentence of my post?

Your approach to questions 1 and 2 are wrong.

Babies are children. The use of either term is perfectly conveys the same meaning in either case.

What do you mean an egg dropped on the floor won't break??

Btw I've taken a course in answering these kinds of questions so believe me you are far from it with questions one and two.

What they want to see is your ability to guesstimate accurately. These are not trick questions that rely on grammatical sophistry.

Charmingrascal:
Is this also part of State affair?

Has SSA turned to a relationship counsellor?

Is this the most burning issue in his State?


Benue people and sex related matters are inseparable.

I remember how my ex Idoma girlfriend love sex like food, even her mother wanted to bleep me but I ran for my life.


What SSA said is true tho but this is not what he was appointed to be doing.

So he can't have a private life?

Najdorf:
You didn't consider death rate

True. I don't expect it would significantly put the resulting estimating far off though since the death rate is usually far lower than the birth rate...but good spot!

spayor:
nah....the label from the one you already know must go to one of the two unknown boxes

That's what I said/meant.

Obviously once you have taken one correct label to the box you have identified, you then have two boxes that are incorrectly labelled. You simply swap them

Eriokanmi:
I'm convinced, with the responses seen here, there are jobs truly but intelligent applicants are few

The answer to the first question is simple

The question read, how many children are born everyday and not what's the number of children born everyday? Time zones are different globally so, it would be difficult to ascertain how many. Our 24-hour reading is different from that of America , Asia as we aren't on same time zone etc.

The answer is...many children are born daily.

The second question is the simplest and I leave it open for the intelligent fellas here to answer it. Ciao

Believe me you won't be getting any jobs with this

Mrsoft3:
What's wrong with you na? Do you have to joke...I was thinking you got it,and u spoilt it the more

Lol ah ah... 1 and 4 are correct for sure. I only joked small with 3 but realistically the answer lies in probability theory.

meobizy:
Page two gone and zero answers. Where are all the abroad Nairalanders? Come and show your knowledge. It’s not about flaunting budget beverages with strawberries and whipped cream. Come and show us what school has imparted in you.

Why is it for the "abroad"?

Your comment reeks of envy.

Psoul:
I saw this Interview Questions on Glassdoor and I just felt it might be very useful to some of us given that most companies especially in Nigeria like copying these big tech guys. We all know that Apple is one of the biggest Tech companies in the World and to get a job there wouldn’t be so easy.

Glassdoor decided to make this easy by providing some questions Apple Inc uses to select their employees – I would be revealing 3 questions here that I feel are more brain tasking and require more brain knowledge. Is your brain equipped to answer these Apple’s Job Interview Questions? If Yes? Let’s do this smiley

1. How many children are born every day?

2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

So who can answer any?

1 is easy. Take Population growth X over N number of years and divide x by N365.

2 seems incomplete

3 relying on probability, simply randomly separate the two piles and hope for the best

4 is easy. the boxes are wrongly labelled. So once you know one, it means you simply reverse the labels on the remaining two.

obatreasure:
There is no age difference in those pics, just make-up and clothes changes, people can lie aha

Are you considering the fact that she never said it was from 20 years ago?

She simply said she used to hawk bread to raise school fees. That likely refers to uni. This is a young woman so the picture could be like 3-6 years old.

Kzinne:
That picture looks recent. Check out the banners on the building. She should stop doing stuff for clout

What about the banners makes the pictures look recent?

Wizzzzmike:
When you read what you posted did common sense tell you it make sense?

Sir, you clearly have little capacity for reason.

I have posted elsewhere that my comments are an analysis on economic realities.

Nowhere have I said Ghana should not have Twitter. In fact, I have said the direct opposite and that is visible.

You can't see that because you are intent on being stupid!

mystery22:
The man is a racist..

Being black is hard, you have to put twice as much effort as others to stand a chance

So Wan Bissaka, Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Fred etc are what? Blue?

Wizzzzmike:
When we say Nigerians hate and envy Ghana you guys would say why... When facebook was coming to Nigeria did you hear Ghanaians bitching about it on Facebook or twitter asking why Nigeria? Common sense dude

I don't know what any of this has to do with anything I've posted.

Where have I said Twitter should have come to Nigeria instead?

Have you used your own common sense in reading my posts?

Swanzi:
Oga u can keep massaging this statement anyhow u want but Nigeria or any other country for that matter is one entity except for Sudan and South Sudan or do u require a passport or documents to move from southern Nigeria to northern Nigeria ...?

I know leaving with the north drags u back but please find a way and deal with,that’s ur cross please carry it

I've explained what I meant. I'm not here for the Ghana vs Nigeria squabble...im just happy Twitter is here in Africa. Even I would not have advised them to choose Nigeria but I'm showing you that your reasoning is wrong.

PetroDolla2020:
Lagos has a higher GDP than Ghana?

Even if Ghana’s GDP is $1, Ghana is NOT the poverty capital of the world People are not being kidnapped on the streets of Ghana

You see, you are indeed coming from a position of ignorance. I'm not here for the rivalry, just correcting certain misconceptions. I think you are more interested in the fight so I have nothing further to say.

Swanzi:
Nigeria is Nigeria there’s nothing like northern Nigeria or southern Nigeria just so u know...

That's an uneducated statement.

Nigeria is a political construct. It's a name that represents a diverse geographical space.

If you then that when the name Nigeria is mentioned, whatever is said about Nigeria applies to every single part of it, then you have little knowledge of reality.

The fact is that Lagos State alone has a higher GDP than the entirety of Ghana. Any foreign entity that therefore sets up it's hq in Lagos benefits from the advantages of Lagos, and no e of the disadvantages of Nigeria as awhile in terms of things like poverty and insecurity.

Besides, Nigeria's political practice recognises 6 geopolitical regions whicb are identified by their geographical location so there quite clearly is a southern Nigeria which is divided into South-South west, South south, and South east. So I don't know what your basis is for such a statement.

Swanzi:
Gra gra gra Africa’s largest economy Africa’s largest oil producer most populous African nation and yet u dey drag with Ghana una no dey shame...? And yet about 60% percent of ur populace live in abject poverty overtaking India in the process guy u no dey shame ni....!?

And who told u table water is 200 naira here in Ghana ...??! Abeg go take ur balance jor

Let me tell you the reality. Southern Nigeria collectively is the most prosperous black nation in the world. When you see those poverty statistics, know that 80-90% of that is concentrated in northern Nigeria, which for me is simply an annex of Niger republic.

JidennaJason:
Twitter would have love to establish it's first Africa office in Nigeria, but a government that does not support young innovators but will advise it's youth to embrace "Cowtocurrency" as a means of livelihood will only end up chasing big tech investors like Twitter away....

Now, Ghana will benefit immensely from this, because they have a government that is working and a president that supports the youth unlike a lifeless donkey in London who calls his youth "LAZY"


[b]They're using this recruitment to compensate Nigeria youths which I will commend them for.[/b]

Compensate? It's not a compensation at all.

How can one position because compensation for over 100 million Nigerian youth? In any case, all the jobs are open to people who have the right to work in Ghana. Which means all West Africans.

The simple fact is, this job exists because Nigeria is Twitter's largest market and even of the largest global markets.

Nbotee:
Chemicals... Dats all dey know how to do; React... Have dey forgotten how one dumb dimwit claimed to want to sue Jack Dorsey sometime ago?

That's the same Adama garba, subject of this thread

This is a huge slap on the face of Nigeria. Why? Currently this is from one of the jobs being advertised for ghana:

Who you are?

The ideal candidate for this role should have a deep, non-partisan, understanding of Nigerian news and politics. They should feel comfortable fact-checking content related to politics, medical science or local news. They must also be capable of quickly and accurately identifying the best Twitter content across multiple verticals including News, Sports and Entertainment. In addition to curation, members of this team work collaboratively and are encouraged to support curation and projects of other verticals.

While this role is primarily focused on English and English Pidgin content, working proficiency in one or more of the following languages is an advantage: Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

This role is based in Accra, Ghana and focused on Nigeria. You may need to work weekends.

Can you imagine that Nigeria is recognized as the major market of focus in Africa, yet they cannot setup here. Which way are we going?

AsherAmari:
Now, I'm scared.

ive actually seen this happen in so many homes and it's the men that first start dousing the fire of love in marriage. They'll start by going to viewing centers or a friend's place to watch soccer, leaving the woman all alone at home. Before you know it, the gap is formed. The Interest in each other drops and you begin to see yourselves as siblings or biz partners.

It sucks.

Women need to learn to be happy away from their men. You want him to stay at home watching telemundo when man utd game is on?

Mrlcredible:
Sarah Theophilus studying mass communication, lives in Port Harcourt, had an abortion as early as 16.
You are literally finished

Highly unnecessary. Abi did she wrong you?

WoundedLamb:
See them above. You guys take the slightest opportunity to attack the gender instead of the people in the news. When Luis Suárez goes biting every living thing around him, nobody calls out men. But once it's about lady, the entire gender is attacked. Sexists.

Have you been living under a rock for the past 2 decades?

This is exactly what women do to men.

Furthermore your Suarez example is patently unreasonable.

PrimadonnaO:
I'm generally uncomfortable around people who are painfully quiet.

They suck up too many things because they find it difficult to communicate their feelings.

They let people get away with things that shouldn't be tolerated.

They think they're keeping the peace by not expressing their own preferences.

But they simply end up feeling invalidated... the anger they constantly fail to express often wells up inside of them.

You don't know when a quiet person resents you.
You don't know when you're offending a quiet person.

Not healthy at all.

Quietness is an outward disposition that has little to do with a person's ruggedness.

What you should check is why is this person quiet? Are they timid? Or they just clever people who process things deeply before reacting?

In junior high school, I learned this lesson the hard way. In childish exuberance, I attempted to intimidate someone who seemed quiet till this guy grabbed me with arms like iron and just held me there. He did not beat me but in that moment I was totally helpless and that was when I realized that true strength is not expressed in your ability to show yourself.

supportnija:
For not given him allowance for smoke

Is that all you saw??

What I would say, however, is that if you make 500k and above in Nigeria, there is no place like home.

WeNoGoDie:
Please ask him why then is he still remaining in the US.

I mean...its as if he too does not want to enjoy 500 naira breakfast and lunch.

OfficialGaGa:
