There's a re-run election in Osun on the 27th. Logic defines they shift the primary so they can actively be involved in the election.[/qiuote]

This is the most sensible thing I've read so far! Thanks for being objective.

Scammm!! I went through the whole site and for "an organization" aiming to recruit 'sic' 500 people, they're surely not worth the trouble.

@ poster, if you're gonna scam, at least make you game look convincing or better still, channel your talents towards a more creative venture!! Stop destracting those that have something usefull to do online!

Wow, what an interesting thread. i'd lend most of my support to the fact that we have very competent nigerian engineers, right here, bearing in mind all they've had to go through to develop themselves. people like ishmael have their points, however, they tend to have a myopic outlook to issues like this.

Before declaring nigerian engineers incompetent vis-a-vis their foreign counterparts, you'd have to look at hte varying condition under which both are produced.

Before you even draw a conclusion, ask yourself if someone else would turn out the way you want them too if subjected to the varying conditions; economic, educational (strikes, alutas, corruption, etc).

My own little advice would be for us to look for a way forward, a series of solutions to the engineeering dilemma as it were, because whether we like it or not, ishmael had raised some very salient issue(even if his presentation was wrong)

I know that if nigerian engineers are given the same opportunities as their couterparts abroad, we'd surpass them 10 out of 10. so please just try and make as little a contribution that you can, the established engineers should also help, support the undergrad engineers, encourage us, it really is not easy, with the ever increasing benchmarks that we have to subject ourselves to.

A lot of work needs to be done, so instead of trading unecessary banters, lets brainstorm on how to make the future brighter. if we all contribute, we'll get to eldorado soon

@ralvy thanks for the links, you're a lifesaver.
I'm currently working on a laptop hdd (seagate 30gb) with a corrupted partition table. however, it takes forever b4 it initializes. I was able to use ontrack easy recovery to get some data out of it after 8hrs (though not the exact one my clients need) when even knoppix 5.0 QTParted failed to load the corrupted hdd partition. I'v formated the partition but the bad sectors on the drive are driving me crazy as they drain all the resources i have (time, ram, cpu, even xtracool time). I do hope i can get someone who can give me xtra hints on what to do about searching for specific files on the hdd.

P.S ralvy, one of the utilities isn't designed to locate .jpg files

@poster, great post

however, learning to beat the average danfo drivers along wt the regular bumper to bumper driving in lagos traffic will sharpen your driving resolve & you'll never be scared again.
Only thing that derives me crazy in lagos traffic is the noise, but still prefer that to driving in ibadan.
