Jobs/Vacancies / Re: What Are The Necessary Skills Every Engineering Student Should Have by swiftsulex(m): 5:31pm On Sep 27, 2021
Cognitivereason:
Hello fellow engineering students, graduate and practitioners..

Out of curiosity I want to know some of the basic and necessary skills every engineering student should work on acquiring in his/her field being it electrical, mechanical or civil..
As an electrical engineering student who is passionate about power...

I have been advised to take up lessons in AutoCAD, Revit and solid works..I have also been told to learn electronics and also try learning automation (PLC) with reputable training centres like AETI ..

I have also heard about PVsyt, ArchiCAD, PDMS ,autodesk inventor etc..how necessary are this and which of the engineers (mech, elect and civil) should show interest in one of this..

what Will u say about this and are there other things necessary to acquire...and also what will you say for the likes of civil and mechanical engineers and students...

In general what are the necessary skill an engineering student should learn outside school to ensure that he/she is employable and to avoid stories that touch..

Lastly can someone recommend good training centres to acquire some of this skills..
I tried researching about AETI for PLC training and it very expensive... I will be glad if any of us can recommend a cheaper alternative for automation PLC

Thanks in anticipation...

Learn Matlab and Python in addition to the skills you've already mentioned. Engineering is rapidly expanding and as such you will need these skills to model and automate processes. Best wishes in your career.

Health / The Unveiling Of Africa’s Reality In The Face Of A Pandemic by swiftsulex(m): 11:30pm On Mar 23, 2020
The Unveiling of Africa’s Reality in The Face of a Pandemic-By Suleman Joseph Audu

Africa, just like other continents across the globe is currently facing an enormous challenge of tackling the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic which has claimed close to 15,000 lives already with Italy, China, Spain, Iran leading the death tolls.

According to the WHO, more than 1000 cases have so far been reported across the African continent with Egypt and South Africa leading the number of confirmed cases.
One would have expected African leaders to have taken serious and apt proactive measures at the onset of the virus outbreak in China, but in their iterative poor reactionary approach, chose to act at the eleventh hour. This rush hour strategy has brought to fore the state of acute infrastructural decay such as primary health care, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) – basic amenities needed to bring dignity to the society. Religious overzealousness and stench ignorance are further exacerbating the situation.

African leaders for decades now have notoriously lavished public funds meant for providing basic amenities such as schools, road infrastructures, primary health care centers, and WASH services. Health care officers do not receive regular training as required and primary health care centers are lying fallow without drugs and equipment while the leaders live in Eldorado, enjoy foreign medical tourism, all on state resources ensuring that the citizens perish in a vicious cycle of penury in the same country. WASH services are out of the reach of the masses. Their uninspiring leadership style has left a lot of youth stranded in brazen directionlessness towards finding fulfillment to make meaningful contributions in building a sustainable society.

Religious overzealousness has taken a dangerous turn in Africa. While Isreal and Saudi Arabia, where Christianity and Islam emanated from respectively, have all taken serious measures to contain and prevent the spread of the COVID-19, Africans are geared up to combat the virus with “corrosive prayers”. Such notions should not come as a surprise as it is evident by the magnificent worship edifices found on every corner of major cities built through the contributions of citizens, occasionally supported by the government.
Governments spend billions annually on pilgrimages, contributing to boosting the economies of already successful nations while people are desperately in need of potable drinking water.

These same citizens are willing to contribute all their earnings to build religious centers but unwilling to contribute a fraction of such amount in building community-based amenities capable of uplifting their lives and that of generations to come. Conversely, the high number of such religious edifices do not translate to sincerity, kindness, tolerance, corrupt-free mindset and commitment towards nation-building.

Poor education infrastructures and low quality of education serve the purpose of recycling superannuated curricula. This approach is devoid of stimulating sound logical and cognitive reasoning for critical thinking required in a research-oriented and digital age we live in. Sustaining this teaching and learning approach will at the long run only reinforce mediocrity amplified by superficial reasoning.

Unlike other epidemics such as Lassa fever, Ebola, and HIV which could be avoided depending on one’s lifestyle or location, the COVID-19 comes for ALL humans albeit it has a higher fatality rate among aged adults. The good news is that no government official can embark on foreign medical tourism at the moment since the countries they always visit have their situations to face at the moment. WE DIE HERE!

Regular washing of hands and social distancing are some of the proven strategies to curb the widespread of the virus but how can one regularly wash hands when you can’t even have access to water? The deplorable inhabiting conditions of especially the peri-urban areas will likely pose a difficult challenge due to congestion and poor urban planning. Ignorance and religious overzealousness have made it quite difficult to restrain people from social gatherings.

If we survive this pandemic with or without many casualties, then this should be our wake up call. African leaders must understand that personal aggrandizement of wealth at the expense of the citizens’ welfare has the rippling consequence capable of sweeping us all into the abyss of perpetual doom. For how long should we wallow in cyclic poverty and stench ignorance?

The current lockdown is an opportunity to have a deep sober reflection and restrategize using deliberate and consistent people-oriented policies. Improving the quality of education must be a priority from the primary to tertiary level using a learning curriculum that reflects the current reality across the globe. Funds should be committed to developing indigenous technology and ICT knowledge to bridge the gap between Africa and the rest of the world. WASH services must be a fundamental human right and provided to every citizen.

Hospitals and health care workers must be encouraged with better welfare and working conditions. Religious leaders need to recognize their position as the moral compass of the society interfacing between the political leaders and citizens through teachings of sound doctrines of love, tolerance, and kindness for each other thus championing a new cause of a prosperous society.

The myriad of achievements of Africans from all walks of life within and outside the continent’s shores is only a glimpse of an irrefutable truth of what we can achieve if provided with a conducive environment. Let's work together to make Africa the giant it ought to be. Africa Wake up!

Religion / What If We Were Taught About All Religions From Childhood. by swiftsulex(m): 8:03am On Nov 18, 2018
I have always thought about this issue for quite some time now. We are all raised with a particular mindset about the religion our parents practice making us believe that it's the best choice for the after life. what if we were taught about all religions so we could select which one suites us better based on principles et al. Do you think you will be practicing your current religion?

Religion / Re: How Is Jesus Christ A Descendant Of Abraham by swiftsulex(m): 10:09am On Jun 29, 2018
Edu3Again:
Jesus predates Abraham, as Jesus said b4 Abraham was, "I AM". Notice He did say "I was'.
That's Becos Jesus has always been in existence.

John 8
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am

Jesus simply chose to come through Abrahams lineage as God promised Him.

The blessing God promised is Jesus.

Genesis 12
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed

So Jesus was born of a virgin to Abraham & David's line but neither Abraham nor David are the Father.

To put it into context, Mary was just a surrogate mother.
The genealogy states lineage of David. How do you pin that since he is not an offspring of Joseph

Please take time to read the genealogy of Christ again. Which reads as thus "... Mathan gave birth to Jacob, then Joseph who married Mary, the Mother of Jesus who was called the messiah. So how does this relate Christ to the Lineage of David.

The primary aim of wearing a wrist watch is for the provision of time though it also doubles as a fashion accessory. Sometimes you discover that people wear wrist watches that are non functional does that imply that it's more of an accessory that for time provision?

Politics / English Translation Of VP Sambo's Bigotry Campaign In Minna by swiftsulex(m): 10:19am On Feb 06, 2015
For those of us that did not get to watch Vice President Namadi Sambo's speech in Niger State here is the translation in English. " Some people have been using religion in their political campaigns, well let me tell u something-PDP party leader is a muslim; PDP Presidential DG is a muslim, Me, the VP is a muslim, only the president is a christian. Lets examine the other party; The Party leader is a christian; The DG presidential campaign is a christian; The VP candidate is even a pastor, only Buhari is a muslim. Now let me ask you, which party is more islamic and the crowd cheered PDP.
1. The question now is that should the campaigns be based on religion composition/dominance.
2. Why should a sitting VP make such a statement addressing a crowd made up of christians and muslims.
3. The propaganda that has been circulated is that APC is an islamic party therefore christians should vote PDP to avoid been islamized. Does the VP's message confirm that.
Religious sentiments have indeed taken over the presidential campaigns instead of addressing key issues especially the dwindling economy.
AS Karl Marx rightly put it, "Religion is the Opium of the People" and the various campaign organizations have realized that it works perfectly well in Nigeria.
Its a common saying that only a mad man does the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.
Whether PDP or APC, what we need is good governance. Religious sentiments has kept us wandering, groping, hovering and stranded in our predicaments since 1960. Make sure you obtain your PVC and vote wisely!!!

u are just a misinformed miscreant. GMB granted an interview in hausa to bbc hausa and mentioned the adage" kare jini, biri jini" which when directly translated using the exact words he used in hausa it means "dog blood, monkey blood" wht it simply means in hausa is a fierce competition. because each time a dog and a monkey meat its always a fierce battle between them. when it comes to adage translation u don't have to use the exact words from the spoken language into the translated language but an equivalent of the meaning of the adage being translated.
