Hello all,

Please I want to ask anyone who's had an experience of the Andela test if one can complete the test with a mobile device....thanks

First of all, I sincerely appreciate The Tony Elumelu Foundation for giving Africans the opportunity to engage themselves in true entrepreneurship and offering them a once In a lifetime privilege to express their ideas in-depth.


I happen to be one of the mucky guys - there were a staggering 93,000 applicants this year and it is predicted that next year would have twice as much applicants as this year.


I want to share my opportunity to all of you who might be interested by giving you tips on how you can appreciably increase your chances of getting selected and recommending excellent ideas for you.

With a lot of folks into entrepreneurship, Nigeria's economic condition would experience positive change and the level of poverty of the masses would gradually decline. Let's make Nigeria a better place.

If we can start establishing companies like:
Facebook
Google
Microsoft
Disney....etc..here in Nigeria, we will make this country the best place for us. Lets create our future...Good luck..

Here are some pictures associated with my selection:

I'm planning to cash in on maize and groundnut cropping this season. How much would it cost me per hectare to produce either of them and how much per tonne can I sell them?. Thanks in advance for your response.

I'm thinking of getting in pretty soon. ...

Planning on building traffic for my blog

<b>There's not much detail about cultivating this spice. Only thing is you cannot farm ginger on a water logged area. It needs sun it needs rain and rich moist soil. If your location certify these criteria you are good to go.then you can start asking for the main details in cultivating ginger and it's profitability,which we know it really is profitable.
Anyone interested in buying the roots to cultivate for commercial purpose should GO DIRECTLY to the farmers in JABA LOCAL Govt(kwoi,taime...)kaduna state.</b>

Thanks....iniobong888 mentioned sth about the price in one of his posts....I'll make more research though....

I would need to buy the seedlings too..

I learnt from a few people that ginger farming is pretty lucrative, bit don't seem to know Mich about it.

Can anyone who has an idea about it give me a little, or if possible, a detailed information about ginger farming and its money making potential?

How much would a good variety of ginger cost/kg or /seedling?

How much ginger would be harvested/ha under normal conditions?

How much is the price of ginger/kg?

I will appreciate the info....thanks..

You will find the story of Noah and the Flood in the book of Genesis Chpt 6,7 and 8.

These are the 3 chapters I will be quoting from.

The synopsis of this story is that people became very evil, God regretted creating man, God found Noah to be the only righteous man, God saves Noah and his family by revealing the impending plan to flood the earth. Noah builds ark, rain falls and flood the earth. Noah and his family along with all animals with him survives.

Before we go far, the BIG QUESTION IS, COULD THIS HAVE EVER happened? Could the whole earth be truly covered by water?

GENESIS 7:18-20 "18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits"

Wonderful!

For us to accept this we must Note verse 19 that says the water covers ALL mountains under the heavens INCLUDING mount EVEREST that is 8,800 meters tall!

How much water will be needed for this to be achieved?

CALCULATION
Volume of water above all mountains = (Volume of earth+water above highest peak)V2 - (volume of earth)V1

volume of a sphere, V=4/3πr³.

Radius of the Earth is 6,371KM

V1= 1,083,642,907,017.5 Cubic kilometers

To get V2 we must add the height of the highest peak which is mount Everest(which is 8.8km) to the radius of the earth at sea level.
R2= 6,371 + 8.8 = 6,379.8KM

Using the formula V=4/3πr³.

V2=1,088,139,486,240.6 Cubic Kilometer (which will be the new volume of the earth when totally covered with water)

So the added volume is V2-V1
=4,496,579,223.1 Cubic kilometers of water!

Stay tuned we just got started

You have loop holes in your calculation.
The water volume measurement (V) should be: average depth of ocean around the earth (d) x surface area of ocean around the earth (A) + height of tallest mountain on earth (h) x total surface area of the earth (Ae)
Given by:
V = (A x d) + (Ae x h)
To calculate the irregular surface area of the earth by using a simple graph sheet, and you can take the average depth by taking depth at different ocean floor level around the earth.

From your analysis
Using Total volume of water obtained (V) = V2 - V1 where V2 = Volume above the highest peak of mountain (say Vm) + V1 (volume of earth)

Since V2 = Vm + V1; V = Vm - V1 + V1 = Vm and Vm represents volume above the highest peak of mountain.

You see where I'm driving at? You forget the depth to the ocean floor.... Nice one though

THE PROBLEM WITH MODERN MAN IS THAT HE THOUGHT HE IS MORE WISE THAN ANCIENT MAN BECAUSE OF SCIENCE,BUT HE'S NOT.
ANCIENT MAN IS MORE WISER THAN MODERN MAN

I totally disagree with you that the ancient man is wiser than the modern man.. Why would you even say such a thing?? Haven't you taken notice of the very cristal clear difference??

It bothers me that people still buy into this completely false idea that religion is the maintainer of human ethics & morality. Perhaps in the 2nd century when it was the best civilization had in terms of law. But not in the 21st century.

There is actually a trend between religiosity and HIGHER crime and poverty rates. Countries that have higher proportions of religious people (like most African and Middle Eastern countries) have more crime and corruption, while countries with higher secular majorities (like Australia, Japan and Netherlands) are safer, more educated, and more peaceful.

Ask yourself, how do the 80% of China's population who identify as atheist or non-religious, keep from robbing and assaulting eachother in the absence of dogma? How do they live so harmoniously without churches on every street corner?

Nonreligious can not be used interchangeably with atheist. Do you think atheists are nonreligious? Or do you think that being religious is having a belief in God? Now let's assume everyone on planet earth is an atheist, and someone suddenly comes up with an idea of a god; the person would definitely regret the cause of his/her action cos there will be a whole bunch of atheists who would angrily claw him at the face. Why, because atheists do not focus on researching about the possibility of a god, instead, they focus on the impossibility and defend it so passionately as if they are scared of something. Maybe scared of finding out something contrary to their belief that would remind them of the immensity of rebellion they committed into.

All those countries you mentioned are not unreligious, they are cultic (check the meaning of cult in a standard English dictionary before you misunderstand something here).

Why do we need to criticize and point out mistakes when doing so really does closely nothing meaningful to us? I happen not to be on anyone's side regarding this absurd and annoyingly time consuming argument.

Let me quickly point out that both theists and atheist are religious people and will doubt that bold fact only if they originally knows nothing about religion itself. When one holds on firmly to a movement or belief system, be it a view in opposition to an existing belief system or a strong attachment to a belief system, in either ways, he/she becomes tied down to all the philosophies and principles associated with their stance, and with time, they become fanatical about their individual stance.

So I suggest that no atheist should distinguish and pose as 'unreligious'. Atheists have always been the ones to 'want to disprove' but the reasons are not entirely clear why they do so. Most atheist would say religion is used to control people negatively but they don't reason what the world would be like if all the people on earth are to be free thinkers. "unbelievably terrible" is the word to describe that situation almost half way, so why all the disproving? if religion says 'don't kill', 'don't fight', 'don't so on and so forth' and it does good to us then why try to make it a folklore? What we should do is try to do away with unnecessary dogmas and stick to 'the real truth' which is the one you personally have evidence for, not some academic book somewhere which might have also been cooked as atheists would claim of the Bible. There are a lot we are yet to know as human beings, let no one fall into conclusion. Keep your belief to yourself just as you want Christians and Muslims to do in order to avoid squabbling, quarrelling, and fighting..
LET ME ASK OP, "DO YOU TRUST YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO AN EXTENT OF ESTABLISHING YOUR BELIEF ON SOMETHING AS CRUCIAL AS THIS?"
