I don't think it's fair...but it is what it is. If the company is not making enough profit or do not feel that your knowledge can contribute significantly to their bottom line, i can understand their reluctance to pay any more than that.

You should consider other options including a career in Academia and Research.

Also, I'd advise you draw up a list of Asset Management firms in the country and write a speculative application letters to each of them, you should ensure that each application gets into the right hands. This may sound extremely stressful, but i'd rather do this than stick with the ridiculous pay being offered and an uncertain future.

Your degree and knowledge is impressive, you should strive to find job in a place where you actually belong.

We plan..

all forward looking statements with absolutely no substance. David Mark is a disgrace!...He is everything shameful rolled up in one single body. Under his watch as one of the longest serving senate President this country has ever had, the country's plight has gone from bad to horrifying.

Our laws have been ra[i]p[/i]ed, Justice has been sold for cheap, free speech has been repressed, people have been blown up in their homes, horryfing scenes of air disasters have been forced upon us, more people are out of Jobs, our banks are no longer stable, the future has been stolen from our children's children.

Senator Mark does not deserve the respect of any meaningful individual anymore. He will be remembered as one of those who came, looted us dry and left us empty. He will be remembered as the son of a worm who travels abroad on the public's watch while our hospital's have turned to morgues. He will be remembered as one, under whose watch, the people can no longer sleep safely in their own homes.

Sentor Mark can keep his mouth shut!..This is not the time to distance himself from the dirt. He chose the side he wishes to be on ages ago, and it definitely wasn't with the People that elected him into office. I hope posterity continues to lay curses at their doorstep and to their graves.

Only daft people will believe this trash!

You will be very stoopid to believe that this group have good intentions to negotiate!...Negotiate what? A group says in plain words that its objective is to Islamize the entire country, enforce the use of Sharia law and kill anyone who doesn't believe in Islam, and you silly lots keep dreaming that maybe one day, they may become rational and reasonable enough to give up their plans....have we all suddenly gone ma[i]d[/i]?

Boko Haram keeps blowing up people who haven't upset them in anyway or form. These group are also known to be linked to some of the world's renowned terrorist organization...and here we are wishing and hoping a single phone call will just make all of it go away in the dead of the night? Are we so gullible that we are incapable of learning the simplest things?


These miscreants must be fought, that's the only way any of this will end.

Paentera:

Any serious business will go to LinkedIn to recruit not Facebook

And why is this the case? Are people on Linkedn likely to be largely different from those on Facebook? I do have both accounts, and so does many other people i know. What difference does it make that a company reaches out to potential employees through either platforms?

If companies have to pay more to recruit via LinkedIn than Facebook, then it makes more economic sense that they are likely to opt for the latter. Also, LinkedIn is estimated to have roughly 100million users while Facebook is believed to be closing towards the 1billion landmark. It means you are 10 times more likely to make better recruitment choices via Facebook than on LinkedIn.

Maleeq: No thanks! I'd prefer to separate my social, albeit crazy, life separate from my professional life!

Imagine applying for a job where you state that "you are a very serious minded person", and then you have pictures of you drunk as hell or something even crazier on your profile! The employer wouldn't take you seriously. Unless they come up with a means of separating both. A lot can be deduced from stuffs a simple as a "like" or comments on facebook that could tell about a person. These may not go down well with recruiters. Just my 2cents

It may be the case that you wouldn't have to apply for the jobs using your actual Facebook profile. I'm convinced that the platform is only likely to provide a link that may either take you to the recruiters application form page or an alternative page where you can simply submit your Resume and covering letters.

Good growth strategy for Facebook.

Sorry to say this, but it does appear from your post that you are a little confused.

I have often stressed to people that taking courses and certifications will never beat the cruel scars good ol' experience brings.

1) Your BSc in Microbiology

Forget about the Microbiology bit, I'm more concerned that graduating with a 2:2 will send signals that you can't stay focused on your objectives and work hard enough for them.

Don't try to be too defensive when explaining this to someone or a future employer ---"I only knew what the heck i was doing after 3 years at uni" ---...not a good story, not for someone who hopes to be in Management!

Accept responsibility!..I'd rather say i had too many things to manage including family businesses and as such my commitment to my course suffered. But in the meanwhile, i have since learnt about my passion for management and I intend to stick to it till the sea runs dry!

2) NIM

Please just hide this piece of trash!..don't ever include it in your resume as it adds no value whatsoever!...Everyone and their mums and their cats probably have the NIM certificate. It's just a scheme to milk corpers out of their registration fees and all that ish. If someone comes to my office with the NIM on his Resume, my immediate thoughts would be that maybe the individual is not capable of tougher ambitions or able to challenge his limits.

3) Masters in Project Management:

Sounds good to me and it shows you are more focused and heading in the right direction.

I want to do An MBA in Unilag starting in sept

MBA is a tested and proven route for anyone aspiring to be in management. I'd stick to it!

"I am also considering going into personnel Management By doing CIPM"

More qualifications eh? How does this improve what you already have? It is my opinion that this wouldn't necessarily add any more value to what you can do which in my opinion should be the focus. I'm more likely to listen to someone who says "I managed 10 interns and two young analyst and channeled their resources to achieving the company's goals in the last two years"....the dude with the certification, to me, has only been able to spend many hours studying what other people have experienced.

"On the other hand i am considering Doing IT courses like MCITP, etc"

Okay, here's a recap: You are a Microbiologist who wants to learn personnel management, have an MBA, study for the PMP and also be an IT guru at the same time....here's my suggestion: why not add: a degree in law, the NCSP designation and a little touch of Medicine and pharmacy?

You can't be everything dude!...you want to be in management, then focus on management!!!

current experience as a Business Development Executive:

You may not know it, but i believe this is a good opportunity to build your management skills. Step outside of your marketing limits and initiate a project at your place of work. Manage the project from start to finish leveraging your degree and gazillions of certificates. This project could be anything from cost reduction to maximizing profits or opportunities for growth. Make sure your Boss's boss understand what you are up to so you can take all the credit when it's time for it.

Once the project is done, look for another project. You will begin to realize that all the things you look for in books and what not are actually available to you hands on, this will also give you better stories to tell at interviews on your managerial skills. Just imagine telling them how you helped your company reduce 20% of their operating cost!!

goodluck!

To have graduated with good grades shows a lot of hard work at UNI. But having good grades is only the beginning. You must be sure you know who you are and what you want. This is the part, I'm afraid, many people come to fail. Here's a classic question for you:

Suppose you have a carte blanche to work at any company you want. Can you name at least 2 companies you would want to work for, what role you will want to work at and what skills you have that will make you add immediate value to the company?

Sorry if this isn't what you are hoping to get, but it helps to know what your personal objectives are. I have seen too many people on here who just want to "graduate with a 2:1" and "work for a company"

Chudoify: I am 31 now and a graduate of engineering.i did my youth service 2009/2010.But uptill now no job.i have started preparing for ICAN exam November diet(foundation).my dear friends, my confusion now is:if i spend like 2 years to acquire ican is it going to help me secure a good job?since i am 31 years now by the time i finish it i will be 33.will my age not be a problem to me then considering how the nigeria labour market is.i am afraid of this and is demoralizing me.should i just forget about it and look for a business that i will do.please i will be glad to read your post.love u all.

Get moving. Don't spend all your time acquiring certificates without a sound experience. Experience does not necessarily have to be at the work place. Learning computer programming and building software applications is one way to improve your experience and make yourself more salable. You can then work as a consultant for small to medium enterprise and build your way from there. You would also be having lots of fun while doing so and it will help you to narrow your specialty.

Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that ICAN does not necessarily provide you with a hands on experience on accounting. It only means you understand the technical details involved, but of what use is that if you can't demonstrate from experience that you can actually do the job? Additionally, what advantage do you suppose you'd have if there are hundreds people in their early twenties applying for the same spot as you -- with their ICAN certificates?

I'm of the opinion that you may have come to the point in your life where "what you are capable of doing" counts a lot more than "what certificates or degree you've got".


and if all else fails, (and take this as an advise from a brother to brother): you may consider revising downwards your official age.---it's dishonest, it's unethical, it's unprofessional--- but, my good friend, it's the way of the world. I know i'd do it in a heartbeat, especially when i'm solely responsible for paying my bills.

Bélla3: Microbiology is beta

Because?

movicy: Am about choosing a career but i prefer microbiology and biochemistry mostly,how can you enlighten me about the both,mayb in terms of the similarities/differences'i will be very glad to c a meaninful response,pjz

Why the choice of Microbiology or Biochemistry?

What is it you want to do for a living after graduation?

desari: @find out

I know there are many decent akata and oyinbos but it is so much different dating a nigerian man. I can feel free to watch my yoruba movies, without him asking me questions all the time about what they are saying (if there are no subitles) i can feel free to cook my ila asepo with all sorts of assorted meat, stock fish and iru( without the person thinking it is stinky) I can feel free to cook my egusi and efo riro without any weird comments. I can discuss business proposals with a naija man in a way that a oyinbo man or akata man will never understand. we can discuss naija politics e.t.c it is just so much sweeter being with a nigerian in my opinion.

I have had a few oyinbos promising me cars, houses, anything i wanted if i would marry them, but i just can't see myself saying "till death do us part" with a oyinbo/akata man.

I no dey chop jor!...which kind levels self?

Oyinbo man dey promise house?...chei! why you dey lie like this na? baby why?

You are in your late 20s maa'm. Much of what you mentioned can only be afforded by 60 year old stupendously wealthy Sugar daddies whose preference will normally be for 19 year old stunning models. ....no dey serve us cold zobo abeg!

And on top that self, Oyinbo man no dey make promise like that just cos they'd want to be with you, except they think of you to be a gold digger....an assertion which of course you have denied severally.

If you were really good looking and pleasurable to be with, I would wonder why getting a suitable man must be this difficult. Do you not have any black female friends/colleagues, who consider you pleasurable enough to introduce to their well to do friends, brothers, cousins...? Or are they all too miserable for you to --for the lack of a better word-- prey on?

Basildon1:

I am sure you are good looking but I dont think you are a hottie (no offence), the kinda men u seeking will definitely not queue outside for you. Just givin you the cold hard truth

Yes, it is evident in the theories that have been propounded over time like the theory of relativity and general relativity by Einstein that has been used to ascertain the existence of blackholes

I would want to disagree with you on this...Nothing in nature actually exists as immutable mathematical truth because the world itself and the nature of things around it are "heavily obfuscated" and that is why you have randomness and chaotic order in dynamic systems...These attributes are actually responsible for the unpredictable, erratic nature of the universe and all that is in it

Your initial statement that the entire universe exists in a mathematical form immediately assumes, to my mind that there exist in nature, mathematical axioms and theory and we as humans have a responsibility to find them to help us understand our world better. My argument is that Mathematics itself in many ways is forced by us on the Universe!

Imagine there's some form of nuclear holocaust which wipes out the entire world leaving behind a mango tree. If a wind blows and knocks out two mangoes to the floor, mathematics will invent an axiom to explain why there are two mangoes in existence!

This is in fact very frustrating for me, as if in the case that after a billion years, another wind blows and it knocks down two more mangoes, mathematics will then invent another axiom that explains why 2+2 must equal to 4. These universal truths however do exist naturally in nature. We all, only seek to harvest these truths to explain how the world works and how we can cope with it. Mathematics does a fantastic job as it allows repeated patterns to be observed, described and modeled. But it's only a part of the picture. There are several other fields that are equally capable of harnessing these universal truths to describe the way the world works.

Nostradamus wrote poetry about nuclear wars and weapons thousands of years before Albert Einstein wrote on his theory on Mass-Energy Equivalence. While Nostradamus may not have been able to harvest his theory in the way Einstein did, it does prove that there exist a massive world out there that provides a great clue the Universe and its existence outside of Mathematics.

cryptic:

My apologies if my first statement came across rudely...I was trying to be humorous(That is why I am cryptic)...I meant U have to be a joker and I never meant for it to be derogatory. Ironically, I have had to insult some people here(Got my reasons) Also, I am not trying to act the smartest here; I am only trying to present life to you in its purest, simple-to-understand, primordial form. Ibime said it all

The universe is a complicated system of predefined mathematical, probabilistic, orderly chaotic, random, self-developing, heavily obfuscated pattern of events...You can choose to disbelieve or debunk my assertion but I have been able to create models based on this assertion and it has never failed for a second. I am not a genius; I have never been a mathematics fan, but I haven just been able to critically analyze the things I see around me.

The very erratic nature of everything around me, the ironically similar patterns of certain things, the certainty of certain things all make up this ultimate model I perceive around me.

Take this into consideration: The random nature of the universe has been explored to create very random, powerful algorithms...This is what I am trying to say here: The best deterministic probability can hardly outperform the worse random probability. Random, heavily obfuscated, deterministic but orderly chaotic models can be created to mimic all of what you mentioned from digestion, to a man spending time with his family(He mathematically and also logically calculates how much of his time with his family is bad, fair, good or excellent). Mathematical models can of course be created and used to determine the nature, complexity and average period of digestion in humans.

MAYBE I SHOULD REPHRASE MY COMMENT...MOST THINGS IN LIFE ARE MATHEMATICAL...From the speed of sound, to the speed of light, to the transmission rate of neurons, to the electrical activities of the heart and the brain to the force you are exerting on that chair you are sitting on.

Infact, I would want to think that God would not judge people based only on what they have done but also in the circumstances in which they have done what they did.

My Apologies for all the insults, it was completely unnecessary.


Back to our arguments on the state and nature of mathematics.


Classic question: Where exactly does mathematical truth exist? Can mathematical truths even exist before someone has actually imagined it in other forms besides mathematics?

One may strongly opine that the best part of mathematics is only an invention by us, to explain the things we find in the real word. You start with a set of elements and then define a set of rules regarding the relationships between those set of elements. But the truth however remains that those set of rules are not necessarily out there waiting to be discovered, if it were, then it must be the case that somehow, a purely abstract notion has to have an existence even when no human being has ever conceived of it. Yes, you may be able to create models after observing a certain pattern. But those pattern themselves do not exist as immutable mathematical truths in nature.

On the completeness of mathematics, I think a classic and commonly cited example in pure mathematics for the incompleteness of mathematics is Omega. Which is an irreducible, infinitely complex number - it's concepts explains that there are in fact infinitely many such possibilities.

A direct and valid quote from Chaitin's work on Omega states:

Over the millennia, many mathematicians have hoped that mathematics would one day produce a Theory of Everything(TOE); a finite set of axioms and rules from which every mathematical truth could be derived. But in 1931 this hope received a serious blow: Kurt Gödel published his famous Incompleteness Theorem, which states that in every mathematical theory, no matter how extensive, there will always be statements which can't be proven to be true or false.


Omega is a classic mathematical concept that explains perfectly that in mathematics, there is no theory of everything. Omega itself is irreducible and algorithmically random. It cannot be compressed into smaller finite theory and it is maximally unknowable. Perhaps, another classic concept will be infinity which doesn't actually exist in any physical form.


I believe that mathematics must only proceed in the form of an experimental science like physics. It is an activity we can only engage in, in order to cope with our world. It is not by itself everything called LIFE!!! The structures and processes of the physical world are not necessarily the same as their mathematical formulations. The map is not the territory. Other activities such as music, art, literature etc also contain valid descriptions of the world. What sets mathematics apart, perhaps, is its predictive power, which is why it so revered as a model for reality. But once again, any model, however powerful, can only reflect an aspect of the universe, not the full picture, which, in all likelihood, can never be known in its entirety.

What we must hold is that Mathematics cannot be complete, cannot be closed in a final theory, that all theories, not only strictly mathematical ones, must have a limited power of prediction given by the quantity of information contained in their sets of axioms and rules of inference.

Ibime:

Bros, do not speak out of ignorance.

Your hatred of Maths is seeping through.

There is nothing in the field of science that cannot be modeled Mathematically using Navier-Stokes equations as Governing equations. Whether you are talking of digestion, reproduction or diseases, there are Maths PHD's modelling these phenomena as we speak.

That you dont know this doesn't mean you should rant and rave.

You do not need Maths to succeed in life, but of all subjects Maths is the most fundamental cos every science uses it.

Literature, Art and such are very good, but they are secondary arts. The only primary art is farming, fishing and hunter-gathering. . . or in other words - science!

I don't hate maths, mostly because i don't hate anything i find complicated. My career to date has been all maths in it's pure basic form.

cryptic: Can you just make your points without being insultive? I can be more insultive if I choose to but what is the point? Matured minds don't talk the way you talk. I could, I mean I can get really insultive and you won't like the end result of it...Be matured and responsible enough to make your points without the insults... You call me !diot and all that...Those who know me, know I am not an !diot. So, Mr, I am asking you to make your points without being insultive...Debunk logically the points I have made...You have not said anything reasonable...You have only channeled your energy towards hating and insulting me...Comment on what Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) said: The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth...Is Galileo also stupid? Is Daniel Tammet also stupid for giving us insights on the nature of numbers and how it relates to intelligence? If you have nothing productive to say about the points I have made, kindly exit the thread or stay off the keyboard...Ok? Plus, I am not typing from a computer; as such, I can't punctuate properly...Your assertion about me is wrong.

You are very silly! Were you drunk when you typed this in response to my earlier post?

cryptic: You are just a buffoon..

I don't have any reason to hate you, why should I?

My points have been made in the most logical sense, and here's a quick question following on your Galileo's quotes:

Are mathematics constructs applied by us to the universe and imposed by us on the universe to explain the realities of immutable truths or are they simply chalky sums that carry in them perfections that are waiting to be uncovered?

You watched the video of the boy with an incredible brain, did you or did you not see the clip of a young boy who explains his own world perfectly using hand drawn arts? was he stupid for not using mathematics or was Daniel smarter cos he could see the world in figures?

If I'm talented enough to produce a live artistic drawing of sound waves as they appear in my head, and my mate could calculate the movement of particles in a vacuum, which of us has a better perspective?

Does Daniel Tammet also think of a smile as numbers and tears as colors?

cryptic: You are just a buffoon..Like I said, we do not function at the same mental capacity. You cannot function at the same mental capacity as me...For your information, I am not a mathematician, I am a trained microbiologist and you did not have to tell me all that cell dynamics cause I know all of that more than you do..ALL you just said was confirm the fact that cells have been designed to have a limited period of existence...I of course know that mathematics was derived from philosophy...What is philosophy and what is mathematics? Philosophy The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence on the other hand, Mathematics deal with The abstract science of number, quantity, and space. It is surprising that you ask questions like how can mathematics explain hunger, emotions when you know the human system has been designed to be dynamic. Motion & Dynamism is mathematical dude. Mathematical Models have been used to explain very complex systems..Heard of Daniel Tammet? The boy with the incredible brain? Well, I will tell you about him...He is an autistic savant that is able to tell you numbers their colours and their nature...He intuitively solves advanced mathematical problems because he says he looks at the numbers and sees the results based on their colours, texture and feel...He does this effortlessly. He gave the value of pi(the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter) to 20,000 significant figures(He exceeded the limits of the calculator on the computer) He learnt Lithuanian in seven days(Lithuanian is one of the most complicated languages on the planet). Heard of the Mathematical model of the universe? Heard of mathematical Biology? Biophysics? mathematical analysis and computer modeling of Biological systems? Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) once said, 'The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth. Dude, I can't shout...U cannot understand me because we do not function at the same mental capacity. You are obviously reading books without applying them to your everyday life...You can't understand because you just can't understand.

WTF What sense is there to be made out of this Junk you typed?

...I talked about hunger, he talked about motion and dynamism
...i mentioned that mathematics derived its roots from philosophy , he went on to define Philosophy and mathematics.
...I mentioned that there's a lot more to life than can be explained by mathematics and this re[i]t[/i]arded fellow gave me an unsolicited frame by frame details of a 50 minutes video on Daniel Tammet. How the hell does that add any value to your miserable points?


I knew the moment you started foaming through the mouth about your intellectual capacity, that there's something indisputably stu[i]pi[/i]d about you. For starters, real smart people don't say how smart they are, only i[i]d[/i]iots do. You can only prove how smart you truly are through the quality of your output and given that you can't even learn to use paragraphs in your text, it must be the case that your IQ is lower than the average student's bank account balance.

You are a microbiologist and you honestly believe "in your mind" that all the Maths you learnt at O'levels count as "loving maths"? When was the last time you tested the limits of a mathematical assumption? When was the last time you solved heavy problems without calculators just for the fun of it? when was the last time you arrived at an unconventional solution to conventional problems using mathematical principles?

Here's my honest piece of advice to you: Shut the fu[i]c[/i]k up and stop tongue wagering when issues way bigger than your IQ is being discussed....you don't love maths you mo[i]r[/i]on, the fact that you were fortunate enough to have passed maths at a very basic level does not necessarily count as "Loving maths". Get back to the lab and channel your energy towards growing bacteria cultures.

ATMC: Math is d only subject found in d gene, dt's y. If u ve not got it, u will find it difficult to understand. Again, it can only be passed on to d kids if its in d gene of their mom, else, no matter how good dad is in math, kids will always come home with an f in math. But d story is different when mom knows math, it don't matter whether she went to school or not, but u 'll find she's good with addition nd subtraction nd remembering dates. D kids will be straight a's students in math. Same way sex gene is with man is math gene with woman. So if u don't know math, just know dt ur mom didn't give u d gene.

ATMC: So i advice u guys, let d first quality u look out for in a woman be intelligence. This is cos 80% of a child's intelligence comes from d woman. If u want ur kids to know math, marry a woman who knows math.

Pure Rubbish!

At least learn some damn English, it may save your life.

cryptic:

I would not want to argue with you because you lack the intellectual capacity to see things in my own light...Have you heard of order in Chaos? Heard of randomness and Probability? You are obviously the myopic one here because you have got a low insight on the nature of life and the laws that govern life on earth. Why do we die? Can you answer that? We die because our cells have been programmed not to exist beyond a particular period(Is that mathematical or poetic?)Why is there a pattern to everything you see around you? Until you begin to spend time in seclusion, until you begin to PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS(No matter how inconsequential), Until you begin to develop your mind day in, day out you can never understand the things around you. Even the greatest philosophers, painters, musicians need to have a fundamental knowledge of mathematics to thrive in their fields. Painting is mathematical do you know that? Music is very mathematical...How the chords combine to produce a consistent, harmonious sound is mathematical...The ability for you to distinguish between right and wrong is mathematical because it is logical and if you understand the precepts of logic you will know that mathematics and logic go hand in hand. Even Fuzzy logic that is the building block of artificial intelligence is mathematical. The EEG and the ECG that record the electrical activities of the brain and the heart respectively do so using mathematical models. If your heart beat exceeds a particular rate, it ruptures a vein or an artery; the heart has to obey a mathematical rule. Have you asked yourself why EVERY SINGLE STUDENT IN COLLEGES HAS TO TAKE A COURSE IN MATHEMATICS? I did, if you went to college, you also did. DEVELOP YOUR MIND, Maybe you just might look at things and see beyond what every other person see.

People die at old age because their cells can't replicate the DNA to the very end of the strand and once the telomeres reaches a certain level, it signals on the mammal cell to die, effectively limiting the number of times a cell can reproduce. That's pure biology/chemistry...if follows a biological process and governed by chemical structure of the nucleoli. (Even the signalling here is a Chemical process not a mathematical process).

How do you explain Digestion with mathematics? How do you explain reproduction with mathematics? How do you explain acquisition of disease with mathematics? How do you explain hatred? How do you explain spending quality time with your family using mathematics? How do you explain Hunger? How do you explain war?
Stop spitting rubbish through your nose!...MATHEMATICS is not LIFE!..there's more to LIFE! Your vain attempts to explain all of human behavior with mathematics is myopic at best, at worst, it reeks of stark ignorance of the very subject you claim to be passionate about.

Randomness and Probability took their origin from gambling!...Attempts to model a purely chance event using stochastic models have always been proven to be inaccurate and are only used with a margin of error. What is the probability that Nigeria will attack Russia tomorrow? No one can fu[i]c[/i]king tell given that Nigeria has never attacked Russia before. Probability models will only come up with large margin of errors, of what use is any of that? Any smart mathematician WILL know that pure randomness cannot be modeled using mathematics! You can't tell the future unless you've got a magic blue ball and looking at models will only provide you with the probability that history will repeat itself maybe with a certain "drift". Every smart person knows there's no future in history, learn my friend, learn not to be so myopic!


You don't require fundamental knowledge of mathematics to thrive in the field of literature, arts, or even music, dammit! all you need mostly are a brilliant mind and an indisputable talent!...while mathematics may be useful to explain the theory, the knowledge of the theory does not Granger Cause the brilliant result produced in practice. The brilliant sculptors produced by Michael Angelo was not necessarily because he has an enviable ability to measure out contours, or surface areas, but for his indisputable talent and brilliant hands.

Even Mathematical Logic itself drives it's root from philosophy, if you are a smart mathematician, you will know that!

And that rubbish you mentioned about the ability to distinguish between right and wrong depending on mathematics, is just what it is, rubbish!.,.if you ever say that again, i may be tempted to issue you series of e-slaps!

cryptic: The main reason is this: Mathematics requires a lot of thinking and logic...Most people from this part of the world are lazy mentally...That is why we have quack Engineers and Computer Programmers all over the place. You have to be ready to task yourself mentally for you to be great friends with mathematics...Mathematics is life bro. Everything you see around you is mathematical...From the words you speak per minute to your heartbeat rate, to the replication rate of bacterial, human, fungal cells, to the number of your steps per minute, to the flow of the day, the amount of revolutions of the earth per year...LIFE IS MATHEMATICS; MATHEMATICS IS LIFE....Believe it or not: Mathematicians are the most intelligent set of humans...QUOTE ME ANYWHERE

You do have a very myopic view of what life is all about!..While mathematics can quantify most of the things humans do in their daily activities, it however does not necessarily cause those activities themselves to occur. Mathematics is NOT LIFE!!...there's far more to life than you can think!...Mathematics cannot describe emotions, thoughts, or even the randomness of human behavior....or even the flow of the day, dammit!

Same way, Mathematicians are not necessarily the most intelligent set of humans. You don't require the knowledge of algebra to be a sound neurosurgeon or the next Shakespeare....Poetry, Philosophy, arts, literature, Biology, theology are all great fields that are equally capable of producing some of the most intelligent men the world has ever known!

stagger: This woman should shut up.

The same God she is calling clearly said that if a man marries a woman who is divorced (in her case, twice divorced), he has committed adultery. The same goes for her.

Can a man mock God? How can she be calling God when the very union she shared with Chris Okotie is a sin before God? Did she not read the following passages in God's Word:

Hebrews 13:4

(Verse 4) Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

(verse 9)Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male pr[i]o[/i]stitutes nor homo[i]sex[/i]ual offenders (verse 10)nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (Verse 11) And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

She needs to have her head examined, and Chris Okotie himself should go before God and beg for mercy; the anointing has left him a long time and the tragedy is that he does not know it.

You are a person!!!...a what? a person!!!...your stupidity is renowned, unbelievable, indescribable and inexcusable!


Aren't you the same cu[i]n[/i]t that gave me three months deadline many months ago for cursing the hell out of your slap giving MOG? You are a person for daring to show your dumb face around here!...What gives you little swine the feeling that you've got enough Juice in you, to tell who has sinned before God or who still carries God's anointing? I really do hope our paths get to cross in this life, I'd relish the opportunity to pun[i]c[/i]h your dumb face!

helphelp:

Relative Proficiency courses are just to widen your understanding of basic stuff...! I see no reason a biologist should go for ICAN(Except a decision to change career, which happens, no doubt)

I studied electrical engineering way back..During my NYSC I took up a proficiency course in strategic management(ISMN)...And trust me, strategic management is very useful in all fields of study.

Do not discourage people..by asking, he/she only needs direction towards making appropriate decisions...!

Peace !

Asking for directions without knowing where you want to go is complete ins[i]a[/i]nity. I wouldn't even for a second, look at someone's Resume, who appeared to have been everywhere and knows everything. It reeks of desperation, and lack of objective. It immediately tells me this is a sort of person whose life goal is to graduate from school and work with "a company"!

Try NIOGG (Nigerian Institute of Goalless Graduates)

Do you not have any objectives set for yourself, that you depend on people to tell you what you must do with your own life? Nothing is more indicative of a life without goals than someone who comes on internet asking for a good professional course to take. Do you intend to just become anything?

RixExpat:

This is one of the greatest challenges facing regulators nowadays, and though a strict regulatory environment is great, but it will still not solve the issue as smart market participants can always engage in regulatory arbitrage (which is legal). Charity, they say begins at home. There is no amount of regulation that can combat such unethical practices or even pre-empt the motives of unscrupulous market participants. We've got to imbibe sound ethics in our individual roles, which is where the CFA Institute stands out. Ethics is at the core of the whole program. Certainly, there have been unethical violations by CFA charter holders and candidates, but of course the violators know the penalties attendant to such and CFA Institute has always wielded the big stick. A sense of strong ethics as well as professionalism (which to some sounds albeit like a discordant tone) is what the the financial market needs at this time.

Ethics is what an individual makes of it. If regulators are finding it difficult to combat unethical practices, i doubt if reading a few books from the CFA will change a thing. I know a few strong Bible students who have read time and over again verses which says fornication and lust is a sin, perhaps even punishable with eternity in hell. If the threat of hell fire cannot change people from fulfilling their hard wired desires, i doubt if the threat of losing membership of a designation will change much. Humans are not designed to live by rules, not especially when your dream house in Santa Monica and your 1 million dollars Bonus is tied to fiddling with the rules for a bit!...Barclays probably have a few hundred of CFA holders already, i haven't seen many of them leaving their Jobs in protest of their Bank's shameful behavior, why you ask? They've got a Family to feed duh!


Moral of the story: You can't force ethics on an individual. Ethics is one those things you either have or you don't!

NB. I'm now unwilling to go further with the CFA debate. Meanwhile, i think it's been a very thoughtful debate.

werepeLeri: OP - how do you explain the fact that the same picture you said you took while driving today, has been on twitter since the 29th of June?

The OP is likely a lying bas[i]t[/i]ard!

defbond1: No sir. It wasn't driven.
I said MPH motor show. Where cars are displayed.
It was one of the cars displayed. Shipped from America but was kept within a barrier; a cordon cos the organisers don't want people to touch it as no uk insurer could insure it. English isn't hard boss!
No one can drive in uk without insurance. How do u read?

English isn't hard and you couldn't write a meaningful statement properly? Where did you go to school if i may ask? Your statement reads:

No insurance company has been able to insure that car in the UK.

Did your teachers teach you or not, that once a period is applied after a statement, that must be the end of that statement?

As a matter of fact, whether the car is driven or showcased is immaterial, the point is can a Veyron be insured in the UK?...fuc[i]k[/i] yes!

That asides, most cars in Motor shows are likely to be fenced within a barrier anyways, and it still remains patently untrue that anyone will be stu[i]p[/i]id enough to showcase a Veyron without an insurance. In the very least, the company will likely have a comprehensive insurance that covers those cars anywhere. It becomes really gutting whenever people try to pass off false information online and then once they are proven to be lying sods, they start twisting things. "Oh it's not green, it's only a lightly shaded turquoise"

defbond1: That is the most expensive car in the world!
No insurance company has been able to insure that car in the UK. Last time it was exhibited on MPH it was kept within a fenced barrier. Cos the insurers wouldn't insure it cos of its price. .

This statement is patently untrue!..get your damn facts right! You can't drive a Veyron in the UK without insurance!

DanKan0: Investment banking wont be the same post Financial crisis. The can is just being 'kicked down the road', Things are only getting worse and when that bubble pops . Europe is F'ed the countries are literally 'bankrupt': high inflation, no jobs, high taxes, declining wages etc = terrible economy absoultley no way to fix it, America is even worse 50 million na Food stamps no be small ting oooo.

World is shifting to people who produce real 'tangible' things agric/oil/metals/minerals all that derivative nonsense that overinflates these countries 'GDP' will burst and when it does: game over for them. It will effect Africa and Asia but not that much, why? Because we are the exporters of the 'real goods' what the oyinbo bring is the 'knowledge' (which is being transfered anyway) lol .

You really think so? Let's say America and Europe goes burst today and consumer spending dries up in those countries, who would buy all those things you export?
