firstly, that depends on the career path that you want to pursue. is it in oil and gas industry, consulting, procurement etc. as of my case ,I was given petroleum economics and management by PTDF. but one nice thing about ptdf is that once you get the scholarship, you can switch courses without any problems but within the same country. even my self here am not sure i would go for petroleum economics and management, that is why I am also applying for Msc econometrics and statistics at Toulouse school of economics,MSc applied policy in economics at Paris school of economics and MSC management of production and supply chain at Mr physics school. what am saying in essence is that it depend on your career path.
secondly, we all have something to learn from each other.

Thank you very very very much. I swear your response gave me joy and made my day. I really appreciate it. But one more thing (sorry, am such an Oliver twist wanting more) sir, regarding that PTDF scholarship, is there anything that aide your selection or just luck? I need to know sir cus I will be applying next year.

UtilityRational:



let me answer the ptdf part.
am economics student and a france ptdf awadee 2019/2019(Mr physics set.) . though its this year that I would be going due to some reasons. I was awarded the scholarship to study petroleum economics and management at IFP. so to your answer, Yes economics students can apply . in fact there is provision in the ptdf portal to select whether you're management, engineering or environmental student. there are a lot of management and social science courses you can choose in France, Malaysia, China and UK.

I don't even know how to thank you for this. The issue has been on my mind since. Thank you so much sir. Am so glad I met an economics grad like me on this forum. Now two more things sir. Firstly, am confused on what to choose for my masters. Can you help me out ? Am more interested in mathematical economics or statistical courses for economists and I think I like petroleum economics and management too as I've read about it on the internet and also looking at it's relevancy to a petroleum dependent country like ours. Secondly and lastly, will like you to be my mentor? please!!!

Hi Guys,

Tomorrow, 31st January, we will be going on our first company visit. We will visit Ganil-Spiral2 in CAEN France.

Short Intro:
Ganil is home to the French National Accelerator or say, it is the French National Physics Research Centre in CAEN. Ganil has the largest particle accelerator in France and has been an environment for some of the major discoveries in Physics and Nuclear sciences.

So expect pictures (If we are allowed to snap). We will be leaving Nantes by 7am and be at the facility by 10:30am. We will attend a conference/seminar and lead through the equipment and what they are used for.

Until tomorrow, stay tuned.

hello sir. I've been following your posts and topics back to back and I'm really moved by the way you write and describe stuff. I also love your journey and struggle. please I think I need your advice. Am a fresh graduate awaiting NYSC and am thinking of serving in either Kano or Lagos. Which one do you think is better? I schooled in sokoto. Also, you said you're a PTDF scholarship awardee schooling in France, if I may ask, is this scholarship open to economics graduate like me or only for science graduates as I've read online on some scholarship blogs. Thanks

How does one get access to it, is it free? I think it’s a welcome development, alongside the likes of cchub and zonetech park, Nigeria’s technology space will more than double in talent, startups and venture capital by 2022.


Even if you are in tech, one has to be very careful and look into the future, everybody is into web development or machine learning today(I admit this is a good time to get into data science), but soon these jobs will be automated and it’ll basically be the dotcom crisis over again.

I hate to imagine a future where you’d be earning peanuts as a full stack dev. Digital marketing has reached its tipping point has has gone under


It’s wiser to go into security, networking, hacking,
or operating systems, Linux or windows etc These are the more difficult, less glamorous jobs with higher entry requirements, but they pay so well and will still be in demand in the future ( security experts earn as much as senior full stack developers which feels unfair to me)

your post got me bro. I need your advice pls. Am a fresh graduate of economics awaiting NYSC and I wish to start my career in the tech industry. I've got two options in my mind now which are hacking and web development. Am passionate about both. Pls I need your candid advice. Am 23

Hi Fellow Nairalanders/Programmers, I need your opinions and suggestions regarding a particular issue that has been on my mind for some days. Please how can I use my tech knowledge to develop my hometown. I have some ideas but will love to hear your views too but before then, let me give you a brief overview of this my hometown am talking about.

.manmen

Am a Junior Front End Web Developer and I just finished my Bsc program recently and now awaiting NYSC. I came from a very small town in Oke Ogun, Oyo State. This is a very rural area with minimal infrasctructure and little to no exposure to tech. In fact, I can say am the only and first developer/programmer from the area. There is only one government owned secondary school, one government owned primary school and two private primary schools. It is okay to say the place is kind of poor. Folks and youths alike in my town have no exposure to tech and all those programming, coding and digital marketing stuffs other than to chat on facebook and instagram all days along.

Another thing here in my place is that only few of the youths managed to go higher institutions and even after completion of their studies, most of them end up getting unemployed and even some becoming okada riders. I know some of my mates that we attended same school together but now end up with unwanted pregnancies, early marriages and becoming okada riders. Some that managed to dey okay end up with teaching jobs of less than 10k per month. All these summed up together have been worrying me for sometime now. I really want to see the place getting developed with folks coming into tech and exploring different opportunities abound but I really don't know how to go about it. I need you guys to help me out with some suggestions.

Actually I came up with some ideas and here they are:

(i) Host a Tech Conference and Invite Keynote Speakers to Attend and Discuss Topics Like Digital Marketing, Programming, Internet Marketing & The Likes.

(ii) My hometown is known for Garri. As in, day in day out different trucks and trailers do come in batches with those hausa folks to purchase Garri. So the idea is to liase with Garri producers and help them create an online presence like an online store to be able to reach more buyers in other parts of the country and even outside the country ( that is if garri can be exported).

(iii) Yam is in abundance here in my place and i think maybe i should create an online store to help these locals sell yams, reach more people and make more money.

(iii) Build a digital/ict hub to train interested youths/students on internet marketing, programming, digital marketing and the likes so that they will be able to pursue careers in the tech industry and establish themselves.

(iv) Host conferences & talk shows to enlighten the youths on premarital lifestyle/sex, unwanted pregnancies, careers, and life in general. Early pregnancies & marriages are one of the problems affecting teenages and young adults in my area and i hope to remedy this

(v) Build a website for the town and have a sort of database to store all indigenes identities.

These are the ideas I have for now, guys how do you see them. Can I have your suggestions and advices? Help a brother out

You slapped your own sister because of your 'boyfriend/husband'?

Then, went further to scatter her relationship/marriage?

After all she did for your child (school fees when your husband can't perform his duty to provide etc.)?

Sister, you are wickedness wrapped in human form. Isaiah 48:22 is for you: "There is NO peace, says the Lord, for the wicked". You'd better repent and find a way to confess your sins because you will surely reap in multiples the seeds you've sown.

Fear human beings...! 'You were happy seeing your sister like that- lose her man, her job, depressed because she insulted "your guy".
Ode, oponu...mumu of the highest order...God will visit judgment on you and that guy that plugged straw on your brain to sip out all the grey matter.

The story even sounds too bad to be true.

you said my mind bro. May we not have someone like op as a daughter, sister,wife or friend oo. Amen

Am a console gamer but I use to download PC games from www.oceanofgames.com back in the days... They are still pretty active and updated.

Either use that or www.fitgirl-repacks.site she usually repacks her games to have smaller size by compressing it for download.

tnx man. I really appreciate it

flyingdutchman:

That, I honestly cannot answer. But, how about these options?
1) Buy online
2) Burn from a friend or game centre
3) Download via torrent, cracked versions

(Options 2 and 3) not recommended, as today na Sunday- Holy Day.

tnx

this is nice. Thanks

DaveHert:


Bros pls when did God Of War that is a Playstation exclusive game become available on PC? It's is a PC game and cannot be played on PC.

Other than that ur of spec is ok for average gaming.

thanks bro. do you know anyhwere i can get pes and fifa games

flyingdutchman:

I see no reason why you cannot! Just avoid storing the games in the hard drive. Get an external hard drive and you will be good. 8Gb RAM and SSD hard drive for that matter with 2.6ghz is more than enough for gaming. Just dont keep the games in the hard drive of the pc.

Thanks bro. i really appreciate it. Please one more thing, where can i get fifa and pes games

here is the specs of the machine, can i play pes, fifa and god of war on it. Experienced and expert gamers, pls help.
