Wrong O is of ....not Order

E.g 6 of 3×2+1

"Order" came into existence when the syllabus was expanded to include Power of orders and polynomials which eventually give birth to PEMDAS or PEDMAS

As the syllabus keep expanding, the acronyms keep changing.

Don't just read things on forwarded whatsapp messages and take it like that. Do your personal research

First, if you must correct do that in a polite. Now i will say you should google the mathematical meaning of BODMAS before you argue.

Why is it important to you that I believe you?
Then why are you posting your messages against God, why must people believe you that God doesn't exist, which you are not sure yourself. I'm only concerned about those innocent believers reading your post, you might destroy someone's hereafter with it.

I was told that If I read my books, my shoe go sound ko ko ka, and if I don't read my shoe go dey romance the floor.

LOL. Normally, if God might be someone like you, you saying such about him, he would have killed you instantly, that means everyone on earth would have been dead by now, by a little sin, he can easily kill someone. I'M glad, he didn't kill me, he left me to repent, change into believing, I'm glad he did nothing to you too, surely he gave you enough time to rethink.

I WAS TAUGHT GEOGRAPHY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL AND I WAS MADE TO LEARN THAT THERE ARE 9 PLANETARY BODIES IN THE UNIVERSE.

However, recent scientific exploration by the americans including the russians proves that there are more than 9 PLANETARY BODIES.

SO ALL THAT STUFF THAT WE LEARN ABOUT THE EARTH, SATURN, PLUTO, ETC THAT THERE ARE 9 PLANETARY BODIES IN THE UNIVERSE HAS BEEN PROVEN BY MODERN DAY SCIENTIST THROUGH THEIR RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY THAT THE PLANETARY ARE MORE THAN THE 9 THAT GEOGRAPHICAL SCHOLARS RECORDED IN GEOGRAPHY TEXTBOOKS.

If you are the son of an herbalist, you must inherit your father's profession, stay with the idols, do all what it ask you to do, herbalists are limited to the life an ordinary person lives, I know very much about this.
u know nothin abt dis. It isnt a must dat a son of a herbalist bcom 1. There are millions of herbalist sons who have dumped or do not believe in their fathers' professions could be due to civilization or exposure.
As for those that do money ritual, they always have something to sacrifice, like human being, and for sure they won't want to over kill people, just to be rich like bill gate,
so if one over kills he becoms richer like Bill Gates? What a logic! If this ur logic was true do u know how many people yahoo boys for kill?
They will surely be caught. For those stealing pants, they don't have much access to it, nobody is willing to give out his or her underwear, so they can never be rich like bill gate
guy it seems u dont know how many people politicains kill evryday and are not caught. Do u have a proof that money ritual works? I dont think u do. Same way u dont have a proof dat god is real.

the bible is d worse book ever written by men. The Bible is historically inaccurate, factually incorrect, inconsistent and contradictory.

It was artificially constructed by a group of men in antiquity and is poorly translated, heavily altered and selectively interpreted. Entire sections of the text have been redacted over time.


Damn! Fvk those who wrote the bible.

Lol... Africans especially Nigerians are used to saying such.. If a Nigerian goes to an american university and graduate with first class, you go see as social media go go ablaze saying shìts like we are more intelligent than them when in reality , hundreds of students must have graduated with first class from that same university from different continents and countries around the world. Better than the whites my foot. Even ordinary football wey na rigorous sports that the everyly energetic Africans should conquer na these same whites still dey top us. Without them the world would have been nothing even the phone I deybuse type na them bring the idea yet no African has ever created any tech that will benefit the world. All we do is recycle recycle and recycle. I be black man but sometimes you can't just blame the whites for calling us monkeys.

tru,but its not entirely our fault,its quite very complicated,many things involved,but we need to do better as we now are on an almost level playing field with the modern relative ease and access to education

According to the topic, since it relates to what my teacher taught me that was untrue.


BODMAS.


They said "O" means "OF"

Not knowing that "O" means " ORDER"

Order ( these are for square roots, powers... etc)

Example 6x^3 + 4 ÷ 4x^6 x 3x^2 - 8 + 2

To solve this, we use BODMAS

We start with "O" ( for powers or squares)

6x^3÷ 4x^6 x 3x^2 + 2 -8


This is how it should be.
( 6x^3 / 4x^6) x 3x^2 + 2 - 8

Let me BUTTRESS further.
If it were the WHITE MEN that are in charge of tapping PALMWINE from Palm Trees by now we would have seen a MECHANIZED TAPPING SYSTEM.

U can imagine that after all these YEARS of Turmoil, no BLACK MAN has ever come up with a pulley system to enable people tap PALMWINE.

OLD MEN still use ROPES, suffering and exposing themselves to SPINAL CORD injuries and Paralysis.
Most Men in the VILLAGES are Bedridden today because of such falls.



the white men were exposed to the need, necessity and efficiency of creating technology to ease their work,black people arent exposed or oriented that way,we believe in using natural ways to do things,
