90% accuracy is a huge problem. It means in every 100, 10 of the results will be wrong.

In this case, you will have positive people testing negative and discharged into the community to re-infect others.

Work done, zero

Yes Boss. Conditional probability involving false positives and false negatives can be counterintuitive.

If 1% of 1000 people (10 people) has the virus and the test has a false positive of 10% and correct accuracy of 90%. It means that when 1000 people does the test, the test kit will detect the virus in exactly 9 of the 10 people who has the virus, yielding 1 false negative, but it will also yield a positive result in 99 of the remaining 990 people who do not have the virus, bringing the total to 108 positives instead of 10.

But It's not a huge problem if more than one rapid test kit is used on each individual before a final assertion is made. At least, they don't have to wait too long for result.
And also, I think that's better than testing less than 0.001% of the entire populace since the virus started and leaving citizens who would have tested positive roaming on the streets and infecting others

Shezkid01:
NCDC will record more than
5,000 cases in the next 2weeks

How many citizens will NCDC test in the next 2 weeks should be the question.
A Country that has tested less than 20,000 of its citizens in almost 3 months doesn't give a damn about them.
Majority will contact the virus from this lockdown ease and will never be tested, while they proceed to transfer it to the rest of their families

While I understand your line of thought, I still see a whole lot wrong with the use of the head as stated in the textbook. is carrying load on the head a universally recognised function of the head?
You will agree with me, it is not. It has always been the less developed cultures around the world/primitive man who has always seen this as the function of the head.
In this age and time, the head is used for thinking.
Forget the brain, it's an important component of the head

Yes, I got your point. What I'm just trying to say is, people still carry loads with head here in Africa, especially in areas where there is water scarcity, you'll see people fetching water from nearby compounds and transporting it on their head home.
So, I think it's not out of place to tell nursery students that the head is used for carrying load, especially when it's not stated that it's the only function the head is used for. As the students progress in learning, they'll learn about the real function of the head that might be too complex for their young minds to understand.
The way I can just fault the textbook is if it is directed to students in the primary section and above. Then it will be grossly misleading.
Hope you get my point.

Investnow2017:
While your argument is plausible, in this day and age, nah, nah, nah. Why not say, the head is the part of your body you wear your CAP! That will be universally acceptable!
.

Yea, I get. But the thing is,
1) We don't know what class the textbook is meant for
2) Well don't even know when it was written.
If the book was written for Nursery students, it's not out of place to tell them that the head is used for carrying load, especially if those students being taught actually reside in rural areas where they see adults carrying water kegs up and down
It would instead be erroneous if the writer of the textbook had assigned a function for head which it's never used for in reality. Hope you get my point.

Guy i hope u have grabbed ur calling and not pursuing one nonsense programming career which is not meant for u..
Am serious oo

Lol. Any field that guarantees influx of cash is my calling o

Kaysalas:
Thinking!
Use your head bro!
Remember the saying?

If head is used for thinking, what is the brain used for?
We need to understand how learning works at the elementary level before criticising any thing we see.
When we were in the nursery school, we can easily work with basic addition and subtraction, e.g, 1 + 2 = 3. 2 - 1 = 1.
But when it comes to subtraction like 1-2, they taught us it is impossible, until we got to JSS1 Where we learnt about number line.

In Elementary classes, we were taught that there are 5 sense organs, there are 3 states of matter.
We were also taught that the sun is the centre of our solar system and it doesn't move.
We all know now that those things are incorrect, but the basic purpose is just to give us the idea of what those things are.
If that textbook is written for Nursery or Primary 1 students, then ai don't see any thing wrong with that. By the time they get to higher classes, they'll learn about more functions of the head

interesting, but how?

You should be able to identify scam when you see one. The guy has lots of accounts he use in posting stuffs like that

If we say North is the problem with Nigeria now, they'll say we are not being nice..

When Lagos, Ogun and other Southern states have been on lockdown for over a month, Kano and the likes was left open and yet the governor is refusing a presidential directive to lockdown Kano for two weeks.

I pray you folks don't self-destruct with your arrogance and self centerdness.

They are free to do as they like. If they want, they can even cancel the lockdown totally
The government and security agencies should just ensure that no fool sneaks out of Kano under any circumstance. And anyone caught should be shot on sight

Please, who has 1TB SSD in stock?

I can't believe intelligent people will believe the equivalent of agbo that the Madagascan President is promoting is a cure for corona virus. I'm sure if Buhari says drink agbo, your eyes will suddenly open to the truth.

Still, we are going nowhere. Come back to me when Madagascans start dying like flies, after all, that's what's happening in the land where their President said drink bleach.

Africans promoting nonsense and mediocrity in the 21st century. The same local herb that someone as far back as 1821 could have just easily come up with as well. Does this mean that even in the next 100 years to this time, Africans will still never invest on science and research, but keep developing useless herbs here and there

BTW, where are our micro biologist professors and medical researchers. What type of vaccine should we be expecting from them?
Our leaders, how much have you invested in developing our own vaccine, abi na siddon dey look, dey expect from other countries we sabi?

How many functioning research institute do we even have in Nigeria? In saner climes, some mocrobiologist graduates work as Research assistant. Providing technical support to conduct research in a team with other scientists in an industrial, government, university, or medical school lab.
In Nigeria, microbiologists start selling bags and jewelries on Instagram after graduation

Please Nairalanders, it seems I'm having a slight problem with my left ear. Is there any special health institution that treats ear infection as we have for eye, or I just have to go to any hospital

What happened to me.. I was serving in remote Taraku, Benue State took excuse 4rm my PPA. Traveled to see my parents in the East(Owerri) as I stayed in Abj with my bro in then and haven't seen them in a while. I was in Owerri eating mama vegetable soup and got a call 4rm my CLO that my LI said she was coming the next morning *the woman sabi suprise person no be small* as I heard that... I lost the taste of food in my mouth immediately.... I enjoy night travels so I wasn't worried las las i go enter Taraku early mor mor b4 she comes 4rm Makurdi(almst 3hrs by bus)... Around 3pm I got set and enterd bus 2 onistha(not far) got there around after 5. Night bus no dey that day until one driver said he would go to Ukari in Taraba but would pass through Makurdi, guess he got a call...I happy so started waiting make bus full b4 setting off. D Bus no fresh at all , ...It was me with two other guys and the driver were men in the bus.. BUS no fresh oo(check Bus wen dem dey use carry bush market goods) na so so mama mama full am o.. Well left Tow Gate Onistha around 9:40pm... Check waka na... Around 3am we just entered Benue(Ogbadigbo) na so me and the other guy in front hear sound... Driver wetin?? him say him fan belt This man stop 4 road, bushes everywhere and armed robbers dey operate on that route, Driver dey early 60s. He said everyone should come down and hide their bags and belongings in nearby bush and stay away from the place ... Driver had a spare belt and tools but it was to fix it (look at his age, look at the time, I know nada abt mechanics or anything automobile) driver asked me to hold the torch for him as AJI WAYA NA(I Gallant) na so him begin struggle with losing the matter oo... I pity the man asap.... Thank God for one of the guys in the Bus, he said he doesn't do the work but sells those parts so he asked the driver for one or two, the driver provided it, he asked me to show light well for him, na so under 40mins this guy don lose this things, fix the new one and was almost done coupling it back... I just dey shine torch like say my allawee depended on it... This guy finished this thing, driver tested it and said it was okay to move... Na so we move oo....As driver dey go him confess say make we thank the guy because if na only am, it will take him at least 1hr to 1hr 30mins to get it done... Na so we arrive Otukpo around 5am... The small HIGHGRADE I carry along , I bake with the guy oo ... God is Miraculous Finally... I got to my PPA collected my clearance b4 8:30 as my Principal no dey use me play... Did the clearance, come call my Benue Girl

No be small thing.

That day ehn, I had to enter Benue via one of these northern open trucks they use in carrying small goods. I and one other corper like that sat in the back. Cold won kill me that day as the vehicle started moving. We later entered Otukpo around 12am. Luckily, we were in that truck with a lady who happens to stay in Otukpo (She sat in the front with the driver though). We stayed at her place that day, then we found our way the following morning

Yungmil:
will it cure covid19?

mathematical nonsense

What have you done to provide cure to Covid 19? Is it safe to say you've only engaged in nonsense all these while as well?

I've been stranded once. But it wasn't due to money issues though.
During my NYSC days, I was posted to Benue State, but I do stay with my brother in Onitsha. Then I got a call one fateful day that clearance has been scheduled for the following day.
I had to hurriedly leave for the park that afternoon to get a bus going to Obollo Afor in Enugu, from where I could get a bus going to Benue. Unfortunately, I went to the wrong park and the bus took a whole lot of time before getting filled up. We left Onitsha some minutes after 5pm and the bus driver had to take one long route again.
To cut the story short, I got to ObolloAfor in Enugu around 8:30pm and there was no bus going to Benue again. Considering the fact that it will still take almost 3 to 4 hours to get to Makurdi from that place, and I must at least enter Benue State that night if I want to stand any chance of meeting the clearance by 7am the following day, I already knew there's a serious problem

Toxicy2kwap:
The way people talk about taxes in Nigeria sef

For everyone who works in a structured organization, taxes are deducted before salary.

For others who make supplies to companies, taxes are withheld before they're paid for these contracts.

The market woman who sells along d road in those dirty markets have to pay to task force, who say they're working on behalf of govt.

The taxi driver pays d agberos, also reps of govt.

In one way or d other, we all pay taxes. That the govt is not structured to ensure this money gets into d system shouldn't be d fault of the common man. Afterall ds same govt drills d natural resources in our lands and profit from it, how has d common man benefited from d common wealth?

You think d oyibos pay taxes outta sheer decency? Far from it. They do cos taxes cannot be evaded and that's cos a system is in place. Copy same in naija and c how everyone becomes a law abiding citizen.

In d meantime, Nigeria dey smell abeg. Yuck!!!

Tax or no tax, d people deserve palliatives from government

God bless you.

Hello everyone. More questions. Does Fortnite game work on redmi note 8 or Samsung a20? I heard it's phone selective

What someone doesn't know...
But I've left the guy to God. God will help me deal with him.

How can I harness all these benefits from mtn?
I'll appreciate if you can help me.

Dial *121# and select "Top deals for me".
You can also download my mtn app on playstore and you'll see one egg offer like that. Just crack the bundle egg and see what they have for you. Then you can compare with what you saw when you dialed *121# and pick whichever one is best for you.

If both deals are not good enough, you might try it on another MTN sim, because those deals always vary with sim cards

lollybizzu:
Just today oo
The guy claim to sell data.. 8 gig for 1700
For this lockdown

Here is the account details I paid to:

0243599000... Darlington Desmond...Wema bank

Thanks and God bless.

I got 20GB for #3, 500 legit data from MTN.
I Cracked one egg in MyMtn app and I saw the offer. On one of my other MTN sim cards, I got an offer of 9GB for #2000 by dialing *121#.
The thing is, these network providers even offer better data than what these resellers claim to sell

HustleMind12:
Guy u get mind oh, she travelled all the way from Enugu to Lagos just to see you and you couldn't even say hi to her cos she is fat...nawa o

In fact, I couldn't believe it when I read it. It was extremely shocking and heartbreaking. Who does that?.

tunize:
On this one you spoke the truth because similar thing happened to me in onitsha 2016 at Emeka nfor complex wen i went to fix my htc screen.

What i did shall was that i carried a colleague of mine that is Ibo so he could interpret whatever they're saying make those guys nor lost me. Wen we got to ontisha they guy said for him to check my phone he was to check the phone with computer that that the cost is #10, but what he never told me was that a kilobyte is #10 so i said he should do it for the #10.

After he had finished checking the stuff, the next thing i head was ur money is 6k my head spin..!! I was like for waitn he said for the checking of the phone. Bini boy wen nor dey dull wen i be, i asked the guy that he didn't tell me that the #10 is multiplied by the total byte used because if he had told me am not a daft i wouldn't have agreed. Na so my guy they cut chain me and my guy start our own.

After all the shout and argument the guy said 6k is 6k i told him i will only give him him 1k with my mind self if e make me vex he won't get a dime. So his friends that gather now said i should drop the 1k and go sey the screen nor dey
THAT DAY I START FEAR THOSE GUYS ESPECIALLY WEN U NOR SHARP.

I've met those guys about 3 times in onitsha. Since then, whenever I'm looking for a phone engineer or computer engineer in Onitsha, I always search online first for reputable businesses

CodeTemplar:
They just used a program to scam you. there is no way a working computer can have 1,900 faults.

Actually, they always calculate that thing based on kilobytes or so. They may tell you it's #1 per kilobyte. So, after scanning, they may claim the thing used 20MB, So, you're paying 20k. I've met them twice in onitsha, but I was smart enough to see through that foolery

If you have been scammed online and you have the accounts details of the scammer Let me know you can get back your money

I've been scammed online before, but it's been many months now. can I still get the money back?
