Thank you for detailed answer, I appreciate.

I was surprised in 2016 when I heard he purchased 4 war ships from Norwegian government, the first question that came to my mind was: How is a single man able to purchase 4 war ships and how is the Norwegian able to sell war ships to an individual, not a government. Something shady is obviously going on. It also means those war ships are sitting somewhere on the seas right now & being maintained daily with millions of Naira to still keep them afloat ready for war. Anyway, now I understand a bit better.

Lol but good question... First you have to understand instability, chaos and bad economy is what oyinbo man want from Nigeria or any country in Africa, even south america, Asia or russia... Why?... Because they control us better when things not working for us, they have access to our economy when things not working for us like flies to shit... Ask yourself why federal goverment no close or freeze tompolos account all this while?... Because his money is all banked overseas and guess why oyinbo man or countries are quiet?... Because all African leaders or criminals have billions of dollars they stole banked overseas.... why rock the boat oyinbo man would say when everything is in their favour?...if they rock the boat Nigerian political thieves will start taking their money from these oyinbo banks... The funny thing is oyinbo will never give back the money in their banks even if Abacha was alive today.

Do you know how much to get a Cyprus citizenship for instance?... It cost as much as Tompolo expensive car.

Tompolo is living like king in the swamp...guess what he lives by the Atlantic ocean and trust me it's luxury where he is at.

Buhari wanted to go at him and it was just wash wash no mark, but you know by now Buhari is clueless... Tompolo is smart to stay low because all this while his account is clocking millions every month because he is living life like Pope and no let the word swamp or Creek confuse you... He is getting good looking women massaging him everyday, woman that fly first class to London and new York for shopping based on payments from tompolo... I say this because I know one of his women not personally but Factually.

The government cannot go to Creek because they will loose bodies... Even america with all the modern weapons could not stand Vietnamese with cutlass in the creeks for lack of a better word... Buhari the Fulani cow knows even if they start something in the creeks oil production will stop and it means no money to share amongst his fulani people.

Tompolo is not a ghost... Afterall no be senator or minister they go do meeting with am now?

Sorry for the long story but as far as things remain like this all Nigerian politicians and thieves can fly any how to oyinbo countries as these oyinbo countries depend on our stolen money (for instance you know how much is a first class ticket to London or us on ba or Delta?... A few thousand dollars...Now imagine how much these airlines make from first class ticket between their countries and Nigeria?.. even a flight full of passengers from London to liverpool does not make the cost of 10 first class tickets and this is only an elementary example I dey give you).

To tell you the truth even if Abacha was alive today he would not be able to withdraw $10000 from his foreign account without some oyinbo man there approving it but he Abacha could have been able to buy a $5 million dollar house in oyinbo land in one second because he is investing in thier economy.

See Libya ghadafi and Zimbabwe Mugabe... As soon as they say Bleep oyinbo and let's keep our money and wealth in Africa they were castigated and wiped off...to my closing point we are still advanced slaves doing oyinbo man's bidding but we not know what's going on.

toxtimmy:
No, they sent him to give them money and contract, basically buy them over.

The sad part is tompolo will take money and keep quiet while his people suffer... All tompolo will do now after getting bribed is buy new cars, get a few new girlfriends, build new houses, travel abroad and spend money...that's all.

Ijaw people are the easiest people to bribe ... A plate of fish perpersoup, beer and music they will jump even if you tell them to jump and touch the sky they will with all seriousness.

Hello please I have a question if you would care to answer. Now this Tompolo, how does he travel abroad. Does he use submarines or what?

If he flies planes, it means the government can easily find out where he his. So hoes he even get to leave a certain place.

Secondly, where exactly does Tompolo live? Does he also sleep in the creeks and the dirts like the rest of the militants, how is it that the government cannot find out his whereabouts?

For example, Ayiri mixes well with Comedians & comes out to play, but Tompolo is like a ghost. I don't understand his lifestyle.

Mathematics can be learnt o. Don't discourage anyone. Most people have really bad mathematics backgrounds because of the rubbish teachers we had in secondary schools in Nigeria. There are a lot of online courses and sites that teach mathematics really well.

Thank you o, same problem I had. Maths teachers were terrible, I never liked maths because of this. Funny that recently I have been picking it up & loving it. I keep wondering why I hated it before, It struck me that it was the useless teachers that taught me in Federal secondary school then.

leumas91:
I can relate to this. I attempted building the sort function in JavaScript on my own. Understood the logic behind it but coding it in an efficient way? Boy oh boy my brain hear am! I had to abort mission!!

I don't think you know what understanding means. If you understood it, you should be able to write the solution, In fact you would be able to do it with different languages, not only Javascript. If you cannot break complex problems into easy explanations to yourself and others, then you don't understand it enough.

Grandlord:
You can see the code for the sorting algorithms alright but do you understand how that code came about? the very reasoning behind it, and why it was written that way?...do you understand the time and space complexity analysis needed to arrive at that code in terms of CPU operations?

You can sort an array in many different ways... quick sort, mergesort, insertion sort, bubblesort etc but why do we choose quicksort and mergesort? do you understand which is fastest in terms of Big O analysis?
Can you prove it mathematically? Do you understand why almost all programming languages use the quicksort algorithm for their sorting function?

How long would it take to sort 1billion data in a dataset with insertion sort? Will we wait forever? Can we do it with a better algo like quicksort? Can we even invent a better algo than quicksort?

There was a time insertion sort was the big thing...but as data grew, we needed to make computers search and sort things faster, so people invented the code for quicksort and the rest we use today. The tool they used? Mathematics.

I'm not trying to make things look complicated. It is what it is. Being the curious person that I am, I dig deeper into anything I'm interested in learning and that makes me understand and appreciate the very fundamentals of it. It is also through this understanding that new and better inventions can be made.

No one says you don't need math but that you cannot be average in math and do well is false.

With enough dedication and practice, you will be fine with data structures and algorithms.

Anyone doing Algo would always consider time and space analysis, Big O and all. That's not a new thing. Usually in interviews, you will be told to make your code better and more efficient after you write a brute force solution.

Now you can choose to do more research, you will find the different reasons and when to use each sorting algorithm and the benefit of each.

This is not rocket science bro! I don't have strength to argue.

Grandlord:
Emphasis on BIG DATA

A software engineer can't be 'average in maths' . He must be very proficient in discrete mathematics, Boolean algebra, etc.

The confusion here is that people fail to understand that there are levels in software development. There are programmers that depend on reusable tools built by other engineers, to do their work. Such tools are abstractions of the tedious mathematical and logical work. But the work had already been done by other engineers more versed in computational maths and logic.

For instance, you can easily use a sort() function to sort your array and move on. But the sort function itself has probably hundreds of lines of mathematical proofs of time efficiency, logic and algorithms underneath it and was written by more versed engineers to make life easier for other programmers.

A programmer who uses tools built by core software engineers should not be oblivious of the work those engineers did and the knowledge there acquired to be able to build those tools. It just shows ignorance and shallowness and it is out of this ignorance they think maths is not needed in programming.

I am average in maths, no shame in making this pronouncement, It has affected me in some areas but not so much. No one would really say math is not needed to be honest.

Those sorting algorithms are actually easy to understand & I didn't need to be a math guru to understand sorting algorithms. Those examples are every where online for Quicksort, Merge sort etc for anyone who wants to learn.

If you want to see the algorithm behind sorting, you can easily double click on the core function itself using any IntelliJ IDE or other IDEs, It should show you the function behind it. It is not as complicated as you make it seem.

Honestly if I was earning 10k USD a month remotely in Nigeria and I get a relocation offer for 5k USD a month to a country in Europe, North America, south America or developed countries in Asia I won't think twice before moving. Not everything in life is about money. Sometimes you have to sacrifice for your future generations.

For me it's not even about future generations but job security, once you get fired on your remote job. It's difficult to get another one. Sometimes it might take you upto 5 months even with years of experience.

If you relocate to the UK for example, as an average engineer. You will get at least 3 recruiter messages every month on LinkedIn.

100% job security guaranteed.

ireneidiva:
Oga they are Legally married. Nobody said traditional wedding is not valid. All the forms of marriage are recognized. The whole point is that they are already married according to the law.

I don't know why people think we need church marriage or traditional. It's completely unnecessary. Once a Pastor, Imam or your preferred traditionalist blesses the union in your parlor for 2 minutes, it's okay. Every body go their way.

Very strange coming from a woman.

Women who acknowledge calmers are usually cold hearted. Like they have seen it all already.

Nothing new.

sisisioge:
Scary stuff...shall we pray?

Dearest Lord, Almight Father, King of the University, Maker of our paths....please help order your daughter's steps. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Dont worry, God has been called, He will get involved.

See, most marriages in Nigeria are based on the guy/girl being obligated to get it done, not because they found soulmates they couldn't live without. That's why companionship, stability, sex and everything inbetween is rated before Love. By the time the marriage commences, there would be a dire need for a missing link which is usually a third party(side chick or side bobo) that acts as the calmer of the union. He or she fills that void that would be there because husband and wife couldn't perfectly sync. These 3rd parties then become the glue that keep the marriage going. Looks like your glue is already defined, question is....do you want to play along to keep everyone happy or you want to keep looking until you meet someone that would tick all your boxes? Sweetheart, it's one hell of a Moraforrkking decision to make. Trust me, I know.


Good luck.

tensazangetsu20:
I don't know if it's just me or maybe my network but most Devs I know seem to be more crazy about working for startups than big multinationals. I mean people would prefer companies like paystack, flutterwaves and andela than working at places like British tobacco, ExxonMobil, shell, pwc, Cognizant et Al as Devs.

I see Dev roles regularly on this companies career pages but I hardly meet Devs who work in such companies.

Why are Devs so crazy about startups? The work is ten times harder, hardly any job security. You can be sacked at anytime. Extreme pressure and very horrible pay with no pension benefits or severance package.

Can you atleast provide where you are getting all this Information from?

When last did British tobacco, ExxonMobil, shell, pwc put out a vacancy to hire software engineers?

The multinationals in tech are Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google.

SageX1444:
I'm just curious to know, is it that you are given a particular task for the day for you to complete because I am thinking how they get their employees to be productive.

Yes you are correct, there are several tracking softwares for bug tracking, issue tracking like JIRA, Trello, Asana etc. What happens is that a bunch of tickets/tasks are created on Jira with an estimated time for a particular sprint, this is usually 2 to 3 weeks. There are rows and columns named In Progress, In Review, In Testing (Quality Assurance), Task Completed etc to track when you start your work and when It is completed. You also have to show your code depending on the Git platform(GitHub, Git-lab etc) that your company uses. Some of your colleagues will review it and approve if the code looks clean, functional and well written for the feature you are working on.

Just got my first remote job, I will be resuming on the 26th of this month... I am little bit nervous but I know I will fit in no time, though it's a new role in my career: Software Architect.

I have sent you a PM, I would like to connect with you.

Sounds like Crossover kind of job.

Edit:

A little advise, please once you start the job, don't be afraid to ask questions about their code base. When I started mine, I used to be worried that I would look like a novice but I discovered my other colleagues who asked got answers quickly. So my initial approach of keeping quiet was wrong.

18wheeler:
You got it apt. I got involved in one. She wasn't beautiful in the sense of it, but attractive. Tall, dark, curves very right. And I'm not counted in the handsome men clique. She's a mix of Fulani & one of the indigenous tribes in Gombe. When we got into ourselves I discovered some emptiness in her. Feeling of not being loved for who she was but what she got physically.

Tall, dark, curves very right is already beautiful. I mean her face can be average at best, who cares. Once your body is good as a woman naked, It's all good.

dominique:
Very few people are asking probing questions here, just jumping to conclusions anyhow. A case where such huge amount of money was pilfered, no specific details given. No clear details of the child's condition, no photos of the victim and suspect, no name or location of hospital. This looks like a made-up story to push an agenda.

The story is rare indeed, but from experience Facebook stories are very legit. I don't see why anyone wants to push any agenda.

I am only worried that 3M is not a lot of money. If you want to be evil, atleast be evil for something worth it. It's like doing blood money and collecting 3M, there is no point.

I like what I'm doing though I never dreamt of becoming a teacher as I studied office administration but when most of the Chairmen and MD I worked with didn't allow me to rest, I decided to go and read an education course so I can be teaching in peace. Now, I've come to love teaching so much. No regrets so far.

Im also into Skincare and cosmetology and its something I've always wanted to do. Love love love it!!!

Eyah sorry oh, they all wanted to sleep with you abi

pocohantas:
Lmao! Una done suffer o.

But Nigerians need to normalize the use of deodorants. The body odour own is a serious issue. I think good hygiene and deodorants should come before perfumes sef.

I have had this issue before when I eat something like fish without drinking water & It smells so bad, the water is suppose to wash all the particles down your throat and keep the mouth from smelling. It took a girl I was chyking then to tell me, she said she wanted to tell me since but didn't know how I would feel. It pained me that she didn't tell me earlier as I didn't even see it as an insult, she was surprised. Then she started telling me other things she noticed about me, It was a funny

This was the same thing a guy said here that no male on this forum would ever sent me PM talk more of asking me out. But when I started posting screenshots they were begging not to expose them.
A man would not chose sex over money? If yes, why do men pay through their nose to get sex?

People pay through their nose to get sex because paying is an easier way to convince a woman to have sex with you. Also tons of people have gotten married though this forum, so that one isn't comparable at all. I was asking how much you offered to pay him & was it a substantial amount? because Women never tell the full story.

Anyway, asking to sleep with you was morally wrong in the first place, I was just surprised that anyone would choose sex over money except you wanted to pay them peanuts which they saw wasn't even worth their time.

sapphiere:
I haven't started o. The person that was to put me through is asking for sex. I told him I will pay for his service he stopped chatting with me. Currently watching YouTube videos and reading articles.

This is very strange, blogging is a professional skill, I don't believe you at all.

- Why would someone want sex in return for such?
- How much was the money you were willing to pay?

I doubt if any man with common sense will refuse money for sex, I mean money can literally buy sex, so why refuse what will buy you the sex you're looking for.

MrAAA2:
Ordinarily I wouldn't want to respond to this. S/he was coming from the US Thread but has not demonstrated that. When you join a thread, it ought to be NATURAL to begin from page 1 of Part 1!
There are some persons here, who joined lately but had to go read from page 1 where the discussion started and randomly read through some other pages and became INFORMED. Those persons were able to ask SPECIFIC questions and probably got answers.
US Education process is even more cumbersome in my opinion with the Forms.

I know many persons don't like to speak the truth because it somehow hurts our feelings but we have to grow together and our posts and comments should reflect our statuses as prospective students, students and otherwise. My earlier comment has advised to read from pages 1-10, study the already known sites and randomly read other pages, how has your quote/comment helped him/her apart from unwarranted attack?

By the way, I leave God work for God, I don't play God but only chastised that we should demonstrate our purposeful mindset here.
I hope you can take it upon yourself to answer the questions s/he had asked next time instead of taking an attack or defense position like Sergio Ramos.

See the way you're trying to explain yourself to me, to just defend your reason for the harsh response. I can bet It took you more time to explain to me than to actually answer some of her questions if you'd actually wanted to. Information can be overwhelming such as the ones from this thread, many people saying different things. Some people just need guidance.

Oh, I can see that you've answered one of her questions, did it kill you?

MrAAA2:
As a prospective student, you should be able to read, comprehend information on the websites.
Only ask technical questions and not general questions.
You know Daad.de, you know uni-assist, you've learned about health insurance and blocked account. Just read the various sites, the embassy site and COMPREHEND. Or start reading from Pp 1-10, then randomly click different pages. If you have further technical questions, please ask, no one has time to school you through the stages like you're filling your first JAMB/UTME forms.

Your response actually negates the purpose of the thread, anytime I see useless responses like this. I just know it's someone who with their egoistic mindset because of one information they have.

Her questions are quite valid as someone who is coming from a US applications thread and as you can see, she has made some research and hence presented her question albeit with a bit of confusion.

If you cannot answer a question, please just keep it moving and stop playing GOD!

Vaughanlanrewaj:
It really does not matter sir. It's just a matter of time, you will realise that you will get from Nigeria what you wish for Nigeria. You will get from Detroit same thing you wish for Detroit. I know someone who talks down on Nigeria like you and feels he has spent long enough overseas to insulate him from the curses he rains on his fatherland. When covid-19 swept people away in the UK, he was one of those who didn't make it back enough and the rest is history. He is 6 feet down below somewhere overseas not even his graveyard was seen by his relative here in Nigeria.
When he needed to run down to Nigeria, by providence, our airspace was shut and he was shut out. He got exactly the bad stuff he gives to the land and even both his living and dead did not make it back to Nigeria.
If you can't bless the Land, don't curse it because it will haunt you someday.
Money and character are two different things. If you don't have a proper upbringing, sadly, you can't buy it. Bibire o se fowora

Bro don't mind the olamide0147 dude. He his a poor dude in Nigeria.

From every of his words you can tell that he his lying. Nigeria is a shitty place, yes we all agree but saying It's better to be a fugitive abroad means that such person is frustrated.

It is those that are frustrated or don't have a choice of leaving Nigeria that usually speak in this manner.

While you were an Intern at Andela in the same 2019, I was a SSE at Andela. Same with qtguru who is even at a higher position.
There are people on this thread who are Principal Engineers & they don't make noise.

You have a big ego for nothing & I won't indulge you.

cixak95211:
Let me forget it, but I am not one to edit my post because I was called out. NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL . . .My LinkedIn remains as-is untouched.
I only shared a snapshot of my CV from Google Drive . . you think you're smart but not half as smart.
Plus I never claimed I had 10 years professional working experience . . . I have attended physical interviews
and have had my profile assessed and have been vetted. It's simple, pick up the phone and dial any of the companies on my screenshot and confirm.
I have written and passed engineering aptitude tests and DSA interviews. Your opinion of me does not matter! You're not smarter than those I work with and for, who vetted and interviewed me. You're a dumb nitwit but you know it not. And yes you can go from Team Lead to an internship.
There are a million engineers who lead their teams but crossed over and started out as interns, or better still L3 aka level one, glorified intern at FAANG. Don't argue, stick to HTML

cixak95211:
Now let me reply to you properly.
1. I was not hiding, if not I wouldn't even paste screenshots.
2. Just hate revealing too much information until when necessary
3. I presume you did not only see Andela there but saw others you chose to ignore and ONLY posted what would suit your arguments. Shame on you.
4. A team lead is a team lead, be it under internship or not, what matters is that I have led people who I am very sure are way better engineers than the aggrieved tensazangetsu20. A tech lead is a tech lead, be it under internship or not. Shame on you once more.
5. I have been a Tech Lead for 2 years plus at a job, I know you saw that, but chose to ignore it once again to buttress your arguments. Shame on you.
6. Not one, not two, not even three lost their jobs at Andela, it is not a hidden story. If I would still be there by now, I doubt it. Highest I have spent at a job was 48 months (2 years) before it gets boring and I switch.

So what the fuss were you trying to say? joke's on you fucker.
Please come again loud and clear this time.

BRO you are lying, you went and re-edited the post after you were called out. I had your Linkedin profile kept and saved in my PC.

You claimed you had 10 years experience, you also claimed to work as a Technical Lead in 2018 but you went and became an intern in 2019, does that even make sense to you?

Even your Linkedin profile was full of lies from the jump.

Anyway, let's all move on. Qtguru says we should cease personal attacks.

How far from the that Ayobami guy that retrieved his money from Fintiba? have you heard any word from him since then.

So this will be a post to further prevent online bullying which was evidently done by cixak95211 who used to be an Intern Team lead at Andela, please note the keyword Intern.

According to Linkedin, he got his first professional job in Software Development in January 2019 & later worked as an Intern in Andela which didn't even last more than 6 months. As at Sep 2019, he was still an Intern.

Everyday we come across bullies like this at our various workplaces and if we don't start exposing them now, we would eventually make life harder for newer devs in the Industry.

If you say you are a Senior, please have Senior Attitude.

Hello.

Does Germany grant international students (Nigerians) fully funded scholarships for undergraduate study? Do you know any school(s) that offer scholarships? I have searched about DAAD, but haven't gotten satisfactory search replies.

Please, your replies mean everything to me. Thank you.

Some schools do, go to Website: daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/en/

Enter your course type, course language and field of study. You will have to go through each school & see if they offer scholarships, you have to take your time. Some 50% and others 70% & 100.

Nnamdiosang:
Greetings to everyone.
How did you go about this @ Ayobami; which document did you upload to fintiba?

Hi, I saw that you messaged me. I haven't retrieved my funds yet. I will contact FINTIBA tomorrow or next to start the process. It will be also good if @Ayobami2001 shares his experience with us.

The bitter truth is that this lady must have sent the man her nudes, have numerous sex chats and I can assure you that the man will surely Bleep her once he is in the country. Story will change when the man comes down to Naija and proposes to marry her, promising to take her to the state after wedding, she will dump you asap.. Op the ball is in your court, I will advise you to play along. Don't put your mind too much in the relationship, if you have it in mind to wife her, I suggest you pause that for now. Don't forget, you said her mummy is also aware of it, had it been she is a good mum,
she would have cautioned her daughter from the inception but she didn't meaning that she is fully in support of it. See, if eventually your babe dump you and the big man offered you some cash, please accept it without giving it a second thought. Remember, Ned nwoko gave Regina Daniel's ex boyfriend 50 milla. The guy is enjoying is life now. Life goes on..........

Bro 50M as dash? That's a lot of money for taking someone's girlfriend.

Please is this confirmed? Because I know people who have worked for 20 years and they haven't made 50M

Hello Young Man,

I hope you get to see this, the issue about getting married is not about how much you have actually is about planning and taking a step of faith. It is important you know that, you don't have the capacity do do anything, while not take that step and commit all to God.

We should realize that there, is life after marriage, I don't buy the idea of spending lavishly at weddings all in the name of trying to impress people or care about what people will say.

I broke up with my gf who was trying to make me spend lavishly on a wedding when I don't even have a car or a building on my own yet.

Long story short, I found someone who was willing to help me cut my budget to what I can afford, the parents even requested that they don't want a big wedding as they don't want us to spend lavishly and don't have something to fall back to after the wedding.

The issue is not about if you can afford it or not, it's a question of 'is that expense you want to make for your wedding necessary (Bridal shower, Renting event halls that are more expensive than your annual rent etc.)

Hmmmmm so how much did you spend in total for your wedding?
