Freezle:
nice one bolt.
For me i graduated from a respected school here in Nigeria after than i went on for my service. after my service<NYSC> i thought i work but when i tried searching for a job it was becoming tedious and unwise for me to just sit at home saying im looking for a job so i decided to go for my Msc.
currently im done with my Msc so im hoping by GOD grace something would come up. im also trying to get my self in some professional courses not to keep me idle.
just watch and pray by GOD grace everything would work out well.

GOD has been faithful. been 10years and GOD did it

Goodday nairalander,

This person with the username called (Maradonalomo ) claims he sells gift cards for ITunes and amazon and he uses the number +19852872992. He is just a local SCAMMER. be warned all.

Stay well.

Goodday house
 
I'm Okpolua Kome, a graduate from university of Technology AKure, Nigeria where i studied Metallurgical and Material engineering for my Bachelor degree and for my Masters i studied Metallurgical and Materials engineering at the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
 
Currently i'm working as an Engineer for 6years. I am interested to go for my Phd at a Canadian University and i would like to inquiry about Material engineering or Welding engineering department as i am interested to go for my Phd in same field of study
 
Kindly direct me on how to go about my application.

sir,

Hope my post is not coming too late and I hope you still working with the bank currently.

Yes, I read petrus post and I totally agree with her, keep working no matter the predicament you find your self. Just keep to your self that you won't remain there forever or the manager won't remain there for ever.

Most importantly my friend always PRAY because the office is always like a war zone, No friends at work believe me when I tell you this.

I'm not here to talk about me but I have been in more than what you facing and I tell you with GOD I have grown above the office politics and I believe with time, concentration you would do same. Just be good at your work, develop your self and GOD would place you in were no man can reach.

I wish you all the best at work.

Cheers

Nice one palmtree, Hope they get to see this..

Moderators, Kindly take this to front page as a way of reaching out to students. Schools are about to resume and some of them would be working on their project/research work.

Nice thread, Greetings to you all. Where are the Engr here? One family... Greatest Akokites

Installation is another issue. Except you can call me then I direct you on the installation.

double3:
Please how do I install the software

Okay! Questions are welcome. And I do advice our professionals to speak out in other to assist with answering of some questions. I would do my best to answer the ones I can. I'm still learning too.

for Installation i guess you would have to see me, but you can try to install it if you can. I would love to type the steps in installing it but right now im so tired as Ojo is sending me mails which i have to reply now.

But you have to be careful when installing it because if you miss a step it would install but it wont work.
Takia all

taye Ojo, please share them to people as i would appreciate you helping them on it.

i guess that would help a little, kindly look at these ones as I'm still trying to send the rest

hey all, I have been getting all your emails but unfortunately i cant send them because of the size, but not to fret as i would create a dropbox now and upload them and past the address here so you could download them your self, hope that it fair. Have a wonderful day all.

got your email, but dont know if you are the one. but im sending it now but some of them can not be attached because of the size

double3:
Well appreciated...would send you a mail.

Hey! How you all doing? Just thought I help few people here with trainings. I have a year experience in the use of PDMS and Piping design. I could teach you folks for free but that going to depend on my time and all. But for the materials you can send me a mail requsting for materials on Pdms , Piping and structure design (wilkom4real@yahoo.com or 08059013444). And also I could install the PDMS 12.0 SP6 for you .

I feel if I can help let me help fully. Wish you all the best in you careers.

Hey! I can give that to you (wilkom4real@yahoo.com)
Email me.

silvernice: hi everyone.is there anybody with ideas on how to get aveva pdms software. i have a link at rapidshare but I'll require some paypal money in order for the download to be fast. pls if there any you could pls share it with all of us.

My fellow nairalanders, Hope you all doing well? I was inspired to create this group because i think its high time we reach out to compatriot/colleagues/students so as to guide them and let them know how bad it is to commit plagiarism. But we should try and help them in project topics and also tell them the department which that topic can be used effectively.

We should be mature enough to assist them if they are in need of contact in other to learn about your work.

Firstly i would start with myself. I graduated from Federal University of Technology, Akure and also from University of Lagos from the department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and my project topics are;


1. Mechanical properties of coir fiber reinforced with polyester composite
2. Mechanical and physio-chemical behaviours of organic and inorganic waste reinforced polyester composite
3. Mechanical properties of AZ91 Magnesium alloy.


I do hope you share my idea and kindly support me in reaching out to Nigerians

Nice one. Supported! We have to be reasonable here and stop being a clown.

woodcook: I thought people come to this forum to seek advice/help and get one in return. Based on the comments above I am beginning to think otherwise. That he attended a private uni is not a crime, please if anyone out there has a solution or at least word of advise for him, kindly let him know. As for those attacking him, the op may have sounded strong but deep inside you guys don't know how frustrating it is for him, whether he is on the verge of committing suicide. Please when people come to this forum with their problems if you don't have anything positive to say to them just keep quiet. You never can tell what harm your careless "joke" may cause someone.

This is Africa... Respect to our parents

Dear Friends, I just want this to be a debate on the success of education.

Interesting insights. To put the point more precise the following are major disastrous practices we do have now,

1. Education is no more a service, just pure business. This lead to the compromising the values what originally the education should offer. Our students are studying based on what they get according to their financial capability and unjustified marks (unjustified comes my explanation below. Most of the institutions / politicians (almost all) are framing the educational system and policies with the profitability in mind rather the future of the students and the society in whole. It becomes a created demand to pursue certain courses like Medicine, engineering, MBA. More marketing you do for a course more valuable it becomes. True or not?

2. Students are consistently bugged with thoughts that they are going to school / college for earning money in future. The Passionate learners are reducing in numbers. Sorry we can't blame the students when the earlier generation had done that insisting mistake. Students minds are trying to relate learning to money without any correlation to the excellence in a particular passion they have.

3. Parents viewing their kids as an investment entity. Keep on advising them by looking at what they perceived from others around. Very few kids get support to fly free on the way to their interests explore and decide what career they want in life.

4. Look at our administrative system across nation. Most of the students does not want to know how a government rules us, their working models, pros and cons. Everywhere a job is to earn money but not to do the job with love and responsibility. The sense that every job we do for ourselves lead to national growth, cultural impact, etc. We need to have more futuristic approach right from the schooling. Else accept global warming, pollution, crimes, corruption as part of life. Cause we are not taught the importance of those in schools, we teach how to earn money by getting safe into a job.


Solutions : May look impossible for a pessimist. Optimistic view : Encourage your children to explore and decide. Give them opportunities to make mistakes when they have time to rectify.

Changing Education system cannot be created overnight or by more implementation of changed syllabus / practice. I can be brought by creating demands in students. They are the consumers of knowledge. Initiate activities to ignite their thinking. They will demand. The system has to change and provide what they want. Slowly it will change.

Thank you and i would love to hear from you.

I schooled in Nigeria and i think our educational system need to be restructured.

our education system is not broken but has simply become obsolete. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do but unfortunately, our needs have changed. We can’t just make incremental improvement to the current education system to somehow make it work for the next century. It’s like changing the screen or making incremental changes to an old Nokia phone and somehow expecting it to become an iPhone.
It’s time for us to go back to the drawing board and redesign the education system for the next century. Let me give you my thoughts on the functional specifications of the education system for the next century.

Adaptive – Student Centric Learning

All of us who have or have observed children already understand that no two children are alike. We also intuitively know that children have different types of learning intelligence. Some children learn logically, some learn conceptually, some learn visually and some learn experimentally. Don’t you think it makes sense to have our education system adapt to the way a student learns rather than the way a teacher teaches? In other words, our education system needs to be “student centric” instead of “teacher centric”.

Personalized – Self-paced learning

Just like children learn differently, it should not surprise you that they also learn at a different pace. Some kids are naturally good at one subject and can master that subject more quickly but may take little longer to comprehend a different subject.

Gamification for Immersive and Addictive learning

Have you ever noticed that you never have to remind your children to play their video games? It’s always a struggle to get them to stop playing because they always want “just another 15 minutes”. Just imagine an education system that is as immersive and entertaining as a video game. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear your child begging to spend just another 15 minutes with math, history or science?

Problem Solving and Critical Thinking

Every child with access to a smart phone or other internet connected device has access to all the facts they will ever need. Do we really need schools to teach our kids basic facts or skills? I am not suggesting that children no longer need to learn these basic facts but I am suggesting that we don’t need schools and teachers to teach them. The students should learn these basic facts from various internet resources at their own pace before coming to the school. Schools can now be more productive and use the classrooms in an interactive and collaborative way to encourage children to use these pre-mastered facts to solve real world problems.

Collaborative and Peer to Peer learning

We live in a society where we have to learn to work collaboratively. When a person works collaboratively in an organization, the person is rewarded and considered a team worker. However, when a student in our current education system collaborates to get to the right answer, it’s considered cheating.
We intuitively know that there is more than one way to solve most problems. We all live and experience life differently and develop our own individual perspective. We individually may have a good idea but most of these ideas can be improved as we collaborate and get different perspective from others.

Punishment vs. Encouragement

The human brain is an amazing organ and it is optimized for our survival. It is always on the watch for the threats and acts ferociously whenever it detects a threat. It releases adrenaline, cortisol and various other neurochemicals to get ready for fight or flight. These neurochemicals increase our heart rates and shut down most non-essential functions, including our digestive systems and pre-frontal cortex.

Conclusion

We must remember that no challenge is too large for innovation and entrepreneurship to solve. The rapid pace and adoption of technology should encourage all of us to embrace what was previously unthinkable. Technology may not the answer on its own, but it can certainly help us reach the immersive, rewarding educational experiences we all seek.

We now have all the tools and technology available to us to finally create effective and engaging education system for the next century

As I said previously, it is important that we leave a better country for our children but it is even more important that we leave better children for our country.

sorry to say but nothing special about the letter.

I guess that's my country?

we got nice ladies on Nairaland anyways i would love to know if i can vote for more than one lady.

The Lord is your strength... Just keep praying.

For all I can say right now is that Fashola has placed him self in an Outstanding position in the country. Hes a man that understand what it means to be guided by rules and regulation of a country and state. He should be respected.

Wow! Its was really fun growing up especially with the kind of neighbours I grew up with... **smiles.

MekT: any idea about PGD form in Unilag

The PGD form is out too.

Smooyis: Tanx. How much is d form and when is it closing?

The form is 22,500 and its going to close in 3month time but they can be extention of sales.

I wish to inform you all that the sales of 2013/2014 masters form is out. And if interested I advice you try as much as possible to obtain your form and past questions early in other for you to get prepared.

I'm a graduate of University of Lagos from the department of Metallurgical and Material Engineering, So I can as well help with information about the process in obtaining the form and also contribution are welcome.

Dear friend,

Here we are passing through a tough time. Some foreign powers, in collaboration with some of our unscrupulous neighbours, are trying to destabilize our country. They do not like NIGERIANS to progress and to build her industries, Stockpiling of arms in the neighbour hoods is putting a great stain on our economy and development work, as we have to divert our funds to strengthen our defence and keep our forces in constant readiness.
Because of interference in our internal affairs, the law and order situation, especially in the border areas, has been worsening.

But, our Government is alive to the situation. In the country the opposition parties are in disarray and hungry for power. But thank God, our Government is in the hands of our farsighted and capable PRESIDENT who is tackling all the baffling problems with tact and wisdom and boldness. On the other hand, we have no dearth of friends abroad.

MOd kindly please this topic in the right position.

Warm Regards!
