Me n you dey the same boat, I started coding immediately I graduated, I regretted ever studying electrical electronics engineering, such a waste of time, planning on how to further in computer science related course.

You want my sincere opinion? Please go for Medicine instead.

Still remains one profession in health that you are almost certain you will get a job even in your 40s. It is so worth it. Then again, you get to do all the counselling and rapport with patients.

Truth be told, most Pharmacists in Nigeria just dispense drugs like Technicians. There is barely any difference between them and the road side Chemists. Most of them end up as marketers/reps for Pharmaceutical companies. Is that what you would want to struggle so hard to achieve? I don't see any job satisfaction in that.

You want to earn some respect, be employable at 40years and have a professional rapport with patients? Again, I say go for Medicine.

Goodluck.

studying pharmacy and furthering as a medical doctor abroad how's that?

wow
Lovely peice and nice way to prove a point...must say I feel touched by your words...
Remember when I 1st started, cramming so not my style (wish I can say that now)...as am trying and still learning the hard way to cram
These days our education system encourage crammers more....imagine a lecturer telling a student to give them back what they gave said students (thus cramming must be done)
So much to say about that that I actually don't know where to start...
Must say thanks for your response.....wish I can explain how it touched me
As men of honour we join hands
But for you
I go hug you

sir, would you have preferred staying aboard to Nigeria?
your comments are really interesting

Meet Ambrose Albashino, an Irobo man from Delta State. He is a DJ and an Acrobat, who lifts heavy things like ladder, block etc with his mouth or teeth, dancing at the same time to entertain people.

Yossy met him at Freedom Park, Lagos Island, Nigeria.

He said, people think it's magic but it is all about concentration. He explained that, anything he can lift up above his shoulder, it is very easy for him to hold and balance it with his mouth without holding it with his hands.

When Ambrose was 8-year-old, he was defeated by some Acrobats at a dance competition in Ghana, he had to go for the training to prepare for another competition.

You can always meet Ambrose every weekend at Freedom Park, Lagos Island.

you meant Urhobo.

so you cannot summarize abi

I disassembled my laptop for cleaning. After reassembling it, the screen would not not display anything. It's just blank. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cords, ram, hard drive, battery, multiple times, but it's still the same.
It's an Acer travelmate 7750g.
Please can someone help me with a solution

Charmingrascal:
You mean Eazi said all those trash up there? No sense in what I read up there, the only people that will find sense in this are the "vanity gang" they will say everything is vanity. This is not living a simple life it is a spiritual problem. He doesn't have a car wat nonsense.

Any power that says I will not enjoy my money die by fire.

The powers that you have to first kill are the ones against ur IQ. they are obviously sitting on it.

Finally ASUU has spoke through its official twitter account that the wanted to see the federal government implement on their offer which means the want the alert of their 36 billion naira before the call off
So now you can see that ASUU is selfish and is not fighting for Nigerian student
So join the end ASUU campaign on twitter by following @socialustazeen ans retweeting his pinned tweet

do you have a brain

is there any news yet about the meeting for today on ASUU strike

ok. I think the best way to start is by taking the free course on coursera by Andrew Ng. That was what got me going..

This is how I started.. Yes, we need the math, but when I came to India, my math skill was poor due to our math standard in Nigeria..I decided to take a private math tutor but the guy was damn expensive, i started doin a couple of research until I came across Andrew's course on Coursera and I started with it.. He started the basics of machine learning, talked abt Supervised, unsupervised and Reinforcement Learning, then started supervised learning and gave some math stuff. At the point, I paused, Looked for math materials related to what he said, studied it, understood it and then went back to the video.. I was also making notes, as well as writing things he used often like neural network, Sigmoid function and other stuff.. then i tried to understand these stuff..

So my suggestion is start the course and when you encounter math issues, do like I did..

Luckily in my final yr, we had a machine learning course and we used the textbook "Machine Learning by Tom Mitchel" it is a good book, u can try it out.. Search for PDF online. then you can also go for "Deep Learning by Ian GoodFellow" Pdf also available online. Though thats some more advanced stuff. These 2 books would help u.. The deep learning textbook started with some mathematical basics section. You could check it out...

You can also look up Tom Mitchel's course playlist on youtube..

If there's any question, you can ask..

I'm also looking to come back home soon to take tutorials and seminars as well as provide some of these materials...

All the best

Thanks.
I learnt a lot today

Trust2001:
I have it in my school library i'm currently reading it 2012 edition it's a very nice book

.
The 2012 version is the 9th edition. it's based on java SE 7. java SE 11 is already out.
Any good java book now should cover at least java SE 8 or 9, that's why I need the 11th Edition badly.
I prefer dietel to other books because of the problems you have to solve after every topic.
It's very hard to see that in other books.

Paapii3d:


Yea....

For mathematics, you need Linear Algebra which consists of topics like Vectors and Matrix, basic equations and graphs, then you also need calculus knowledge like derivations, partial derivations, Integration, cost function to mention a few.

You need to know Statistics: Inferential and descriptive statistics.. Binomial, poisson, etc

Then you should know python more especially data structures and algorithms like stack, queue, heaps, trees etc

I'll try to make a comprehensive list. I'm writing this off my head..

but it still depends on if u wanna know fully abt ML/ DL concepts or u jst wanna know the much u can use in making projects

If the second is the case, the u can go into learning jst the frameworks which i listed in my previous post.

I saw this on quora

Paapii3d:


Is there any online or mobile developers forum for Nigerians you know? I'd like to join

No.
I learn myself.
Are you into AI/ML. I want to know the list of Mathematics topics I should learn, And the best books for it.

I think I have a couple of things to say here, I love python, and I use python, as well as i use other languages. But the reason why I use python as my primary language isn't because of its simplicity.- though that is a plus - but it is because of its vast nature. I've used Java on a couple of projects on the android studio, I've used Javascript for react and react-native projects, ionic project, angular and other JS frameworks I've used swift for some ios projects here in India as well.. but believe me, If u want to stand out in present day tech, you need to be a python expert.

Understand the basics, then learn data structure and algorithms in Python, understand most importantly pseudocodes, and then begin to use frameworks like Django which i personally prefer to Flask for web development.

Learn frameworks like Numpy, Scikitlearn, pandas, tensorflow, opencv, matplotlib for data science and machine learning which is the sexiest job of this century.

With your knowledge on python, u can excel in any field of study. even in agriculture.. This is the best time to learn python.

I am nt against any other language because I still use them for a couple of projects.. but for a beginner, i prefer you learn Python.

Here in India, in my school, Python is nw taught to Ist yr students which wasn't so when i started..

Drjimoh:


Well I think the only thing most programmers have against python is it's readability(put it in simple terms, python uses English words with few symbols and no semicolon on every statement to make life easy)

Every other thing is a mere assumption bro
Yes python looks like a scripting language so you'd expect it to be slow, but YOUTUBE is serving over 40 million videos per hour (thanks to python). With well optimized codes and employing implementation of C/C++ in your python codes(which I don't think most programmers are patient enough to find out), speed and efficiency won't be a problem.

About Desktop App development python is still a goto language, and you're talking about Androud or IOS apps, then check out Kivy which can build cross platform GUI apps.

The Notion of Everything is as real as they say. Python can do everything, it's just the community of python developers that decide what to adopt from it. 0

You should also know that a major part of Instagram uses python. Even google APp engine.

...and the reason why most people don't like an "easy" programming language is a bit personal if you ask me, python doesn't make you feel like a hard guy enough

Yeah me too. I prefer harder languages because I think they're faster and more efficient.

I was doing total scholarship registration for someone. Damn that site takes at least 30 seconds to load. When I see those sites, I think they're built with python.

I think I'll give python a try, since it can be implemented with c++ (though I don't know how to do this). I'm thinking about ML and AI after app development, so I think python & c++ will be good.

dosh16:




It all depends on your doctor. You might be glad to know that most times, the decision your doctor makes is widely dependent on his training. Most old doctors (who were trained a long time ago) tend to prefer some procedures even when there are more recent and better methods. This is them doing what they're most comfortable with.


THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTion:

It's possible for a doctor to remove fibroid during a C-section. In fact, it's often really tempting(you can imagine), however, it's not safe, and usually not done. So it's most likely that only the baby will be reduced.

Here are two reasons why it is unsafe:

1. During pregnancy, the uterus becomes very vascular, thus increasing the risk of over bleeding.

2. Fibroids usually grow larger during pregnancy, partly due to pregnancy hormones. Thus, there's a higher chance that a complication might occur.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks for asking.

what of a person trying to run python from windows terminal and its not working. what's the command to start a python prompt from windows command prompt

eberedigital:
I might have it on my laptop not too sure though. will check later

ok

eberedigital:

you can search on smtebooks.com or pdfdrive.net

smtebooks.com - they have it, but I can't download it. The first download button redirect you to different ad sites, the other will ask you to open one epub file in your Google drive and then show error message.

pdfdrive.net - their books are old

adeoyeyemi:

Please, check your mail.

Please I need it too
israela608@gmail.com thanks

Dietel How to program 10th or 11th Edition pdf. I have the 9th edition, but I feel it's outdated.
Please if you have the download link you can drop it.

I was discouraged from learning python because it's too easy to learn. To me it looks like a baby language that cares more about rapid development rather than efficiency. The most annoying part is the "Python can do everything" which makes people like me confused and scared of learning it.

I'm currently learning app development, but my question is If python was that good, why do most programmers (new programmers especially) still use java, kotlin, swift, objective c, c++, c# for app development and not python? Maybe it's not optimized for these areas. I know python can be used for mobile development, but maybe it's not for cases whereby speed and Efficiency are of great importance.

For web you hear Django, but what do programmers really use? Javascript. Python is easy but new web developers still run to node.js.

The AI and ML part makes sense because those areas are very difficult and you don't need to complicate things by using harder languages, though C++ is still used for cases I mentioned above.

I think something is wrong with the "Everything" syndrome that python lovers say every time.
These are my thoughts though.

eazycash:

go with 4GB RAM and see how slow your system will be! i know Nigerians don't read software specification before use! go ahead for don't cry later for android studio running slow.

Android studio sucks.

6gb Ram
core i5 2.4GHz quad core

And it's fu**ing slow.
You need a mad system to get any reasonable result.

That gradle sh*t is another issue.

If I would recommend, it would be
12gb ram DDR4
3Ghz 5th gen core i5 and above
An SSD would be of great help

doshe39:
you can go to the waec office in delta and I think its free.. Just go along with ur photo card and since its 2014 it should b out

Thanks

ahhhh 38 views no reply

We were asked to provide our Waec certificate for 300L clearance. I did my 100L clearance with the Waec result print out, because I was told that the certificate wasn't ready at that time.
I wrote GCE 2014 at Delta state. Where can I get the certificate (waec office, Asaba or the school I wrote the exam) and how's the process. Most of my classmates wrote the normal may/June waec and they told me they took theirs from the school they wrote the exam, but since mine is GCE should I follow the same process.
Should I call the waec office and ask? (I dont even have their phone number)
how much will I pay to get it?
how long will it take to process it?

I was told the school was serious about the clearance. School is on section and exam is nearby. I can't travel to Delta state and then they'll tell me that I have to wait for 2 days or a week to look for the certificate. If the process is that long I'll just wait till next section.
I need advice please.
