. 10/of the 12 issues raised were determined in favour if APC.Besides Olanipekun knee Obiora was absent when APC was presenting its witnesses.He mentioned this after the judgement and wondered why Obiora assessed witnesses he did not see..PDP lawyers did not deny this in their oral submission.

Poanan:
What is your basis? I have met with people form both sides. It is not about univerisity but the individual. For my course of study, I have met with people who went to poly and make very sensible contributions. Sorry to say our eastern schools are total write-off when it comes to knowledge I don't know of engineering though. The type of questions they ask one will begin to wonder if they graduated. The students from poly I have interacted with won't ask such.

drtwist:
I have study the listed area and found out they are in APC strong hold apart from nasarawa and dala. The cancel vote of 120k is a urge vote to contest o.

Or someone from kano can explain more .
Really want that dollar man to go home so others who engage in such will know how far

Please who knows a thing or two about unlocking devices, like how much it costs to unlock iPhones
1. AT&T
2. Sprint
3. T-mobile
4. Boost
5. Virgin mobile

And then Samsung phones too for various carriers. Thanks

lordfredrick:
Well you would pay for pick up, so check the cost and do the maths.

lordfredrick:
IPhone 7 rose gold 32gb.
landing cost to Lagos #140,000. Contact me of interested.

Canada of course! You can always do NYSC anytime at worst, you can take an exemption from NYSC if by the time you come back, your age is past the acceptable age. A couple of people I know did that. Pls don't miss the opportunity of going to a great country like Canada where jobs are readily available once you are done with your studies abeg.

How on earth will someone be comparing Mechanical engineering to Mathematics? it's an abuse on the freedom of speech. How many job vacancy have you come across that ask for BSC mathematics. An engineering graduate will adequately function wherever a math graduate is required, be it in the tax/Audit/finance firm and even banks. but same can't be said of a math graduate performing the responsibility of an engineer. Don't be deceived by the gullible who said maths is more prestigious abroad than engineering, or you'd turn a engineer abroad with a degree in mathematics,its a big lie from the pit of hell...who does that? Engineering is so broad that they can function anywhere and compete with maths graduate for there space but a mathematics graduate can compete with an engineering major in an engineering firm.
I'll advice you switch, if you can.

My two cents.

Op first it is I'm and not am.... If you are studying mathematics and can major in Statistics please go ahead. No field is exclusively independent.
I hold a B. Eng in Mechanical Engineering, but from my experience most models engineer develop are equation driven but future model will be data driven. I had a master in Chemical Engineering and from my field work and research I can tell you before a company will invest in new equipment for process optimizations, they push the existing process to the limit which is most often done by data logging and data visualisation. How do you predict future demand for a product, how do you forecast system behaviour based on historical data, how to you take care of uncertainty in process economic... If not through data analysis mostly expertise of data scientists who are statisticians. Based on informed decision from the data scientists correlated with Engineering laws, engineers can juxtapose process conditions to maximise system yield within the equipment operating limit.
I am presently taking courses on data analysis for my phd with research focus on energy. I can tell you I am not finding it funny or easy. Trying to understand distribution, probabilistic analysis, markov chain, time series data analysis just to mention a few. Though I understand the Engineering aspect of my work but that statistical aspects of it has been the challenge. If you were in my shoes the reverse would have been the case but you can catch up quickly on Engineering aspect much faster than the statistical aspect of it.
So I encourage you to stick to what you are already studying beside if you want to be self employed in core mechanical engineering then you will need some good capital and you imagination skills has to be very high. But the beautiful side of Engineering is you can easily cross between various Engineering fields with great success and still try your hands on the sciences.
I have only created a scenario of statistics to Engineering but what about business data analysis, big data analysis, health data, even your shopping habit for example at a mall can be predicted from your visit and you bank details per swipe you do. So overtime you discover that that particular product you buy is always on the shelf. People might not appreciate mathematicians especially statistician in Nigeria because Nigeria lack good data collection system.
Best wishes in your future endeavour.

uracocksucker:
lies simple as especially the if you travel out part. with mathematics you have variety... finance & banking, computing and engineering firms (just to mention a few) will always recruit Mathematics graduates. However with engineering, the niche you specialize is all the option you have.

so if you talking job opportunities ur variety, variable option, lies with Mathematics on this shore and ABROAD

Freciprocal:
@ OP let me settle your confusion.

I am a graduate of Mathematics (2.1). Though I have a soft spot for Mathematics, I can't deny the respect I have for Mech Engineering.

I worked in 2 banks as an ICT administrator and a teller. I den got a job with an oil servicing firm in ph.

I worked as a field engineer for 3 year with the oil servicing coy.

So to those saying mathematicians can't work as Engr... You have been misinformed.


Back to ur question, when it comes to more opportunities, Mathematics is better, Mechanical Engineering limits u to its field... Outside engineering, there is nothing much u can do.

99.9% of lady's like it's not all that can open up to tell you they do, but all lady's love money, attention and love. For me you must have this characteristics.
