Health / Re: Zimbabwean Man Discovers His Wife Has Been Hiding Her HIV Status by Xpol: 10:20pm On Jan 18
Kenneth4u205:
One Zimbabwe lady wanted to kpai me too . My only saving grace was that I fear God and never touched her.

But the man story is not complete. Did she infect him or not ?.

Some doctors said she won't be able to infect him if she is taking her medication regularly.

A good nairalander can help us verify this by engaging in sex with a hiv individual that takes their drug regularly

lol why can't you be the good nairalander abi you be bad one?

That Sprayer was exclusively for Spraying the Beans for Insects and not for Killing grasses
spraying late in the morning follow by hot weather can also burn the plants especially with high dosage, Anything apart from these simply mean the chemical is fake coz most pesticides can be used for wide varieties of plants without any side effect.

I did Beans farming to help sustain livelihood, unfortunately, the DD Force Chemical I applied destroyed all my Beans. I don't know what to do.

When I was offered the Chemical, I objected but the Dealer insisted that it was the appropriate Chemical to use, after going through the Label I also read that it can used plants such as Maize, beans and others.
Are you sure you didn't use the same sprayer for herbicide previously? Sometimes you think you've washed it but it'll affect your plants?

There will be a rematch that Charles Okocha will win. Then another celebrity will come up to challenge him...Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg first planned this sort of boxing match before Charles copied it and involved Portable.

I wonder why some people support corruption and stealing. Was he also following instructions in the two banks he allegedly bought in corrupt ways? The billions allegedly stolen too was acting under someone else instruction?

When there's no prosecution people will be shouting no prosecution for stealing and corruption and when there's prosecution they'll be shouting witch-hunting or attaching tribalism to it.

Funny enough, nobody relied or expected anything from her.
She might have realized she loses opportunities whenever she shares her intention with people. Sometimes it's good to finish your project before sharing it with people who won't have direct impact on it.

I hope you understand what I'm saying. If she sees you as someone whose input will really be helpful in the project she would let you know.

People like her don't trust easily and that's a good thing.

Sometimes it's good not to be easily predictable.

Politics / Re: Iโ€™m Dying Of Cancer, Allow Me To Return To Nigeria โ€“ Diezani Begs Tinubu by Xpol: 11:13am On Dec 23, 2023
seunmsg:


Did I read the part in bold correctly or my eyes are paining me? As in $9 billion or N9billion?

How did she get as much as $9 billion? How did we move from this level of mind boggling corruption under Diezani to the current revelations about Emefiele? Why do we keep throwing up extremely greedy characters like these as leaders?

If sheโ€™s willing to cooperate for the recovery of the $9 billion, I think President Tinubu should allow her come back. That kind of money can help us stabilize the exchange rate immediately.
The main problem will be how to retrieve back the money from the Gov. Such dealing may just be based on trust without any documentation.

The Guyman gov would have diverted the money for personal use and he may blatantly deny the allegation.

Immunity won't also help in prosecuting him.

Is this the same Nigeria we keep hoping it's going to be better? Well nothing wrong with being optimistic. It helps regulating the BP.

Properties / Re: He Completed His House Without Uttering A Single Word To Me As A Close Friend by Xpol: 9:36pm On Dec 22, 2023
No big deal in this. You can be my closest friend but I may be planning of buying a private jet tomorrow and you won't even know about it.

The first time I travelled out of the country only my mum and few of my siblings knew about it.

My closest friend then was surprised when I called him with a foreign number.

OP it May be painful but he may not have any bad mind towards you. If it's me though you won't be surprised coz you would have already known me for that.

You have to know yourself and what works for you. I discovered if I want to do some things and share it and the person express a negative view about it, I do find it very difficult in most cases to achieve it.

Everyone around me already knows me for that.
If you're predictable and everyone knows your moves you'll be an easy catch in this life.

Let me just reveal the secret. You're only seeing him as your best friend but to him he doesn't have best friend. That's who I am too I don't have best friend but I show love to everyone. If you notice him he hardly shares secret with you. Only normal discussion that's not personal.

Life is deeper than what we're seeing...

Programming / Re: What Can A CS Degree Holder Program that a self-taught cannot do? by Xpol: 7:21pm On Dec 21, 2023
airsaylongcome:


You seem to assume that a degree in Computing aims to dlmale someone a programmer. Which is very far from the truth. It's like expecting an MBBS grad to be a surgeon. Programming is a sub-specialty in CS
I know this very well and that's why sometimes I do use any role.

No role or area the degree fully prepare you for. Same with the other person trying to hype his/her SE degree. as it is with other disciplines a programmer is one of so many of what you can become. The degree only gives you basic knowledge you have to build on else it won't be useful coz it doesn't fully prepare you neither does it give you what you need to enter the job market. So why are people hyping it as if it's the alpha and Omega. It only an advantage because of the basic knowledge of computer which other related courses also give.

So I'm not going to dive in too deep countering your points. But know this, that NO MEDICAL student that graduates in Nigeria, is ready to become a Doctor. They have to do house job aka internship before they can even get a license to practice.
yes you're right on housemanship, which is supposed to be done under close monitoring by senior doctors but that's not always the case, they're mostly left on their own. I worked in a general hospital for almost a year not as medical staff though, those senior doctors hardly have time for supervision so I can tell you they're performing full medical duties during that one year except surgery.

At first it's only evaluation, they'll go round asking the patients questions and keep records but before you know it they start giving injection and even prescription.

How fast they begin the full functions depends on individual knowledge which is not always the same with individuals but same is not applicable to a SC graduate those intro to programming, OS, kernel, DSA, OS programming, etc we're being taught are different from what we meet in the field.

Some of those lecturers don't even know what they are teaching.

Notwithstanding, as a CS graduate, learning programming may be easier easier than someone from unrelated discipline.I remember I found "Sequel" very easy to learn then after dealing with it on two different courses.same thing applicable to some other areas.

In Ondo state during election petition tribunal between Mimiko and Agagu, a lecturer who's a professor of computer science was one of Agagu's witness. When prosecution counsel was cross examining baba he couldn't operate a computer at first they taught it was impersonation.

Most of these lecturers cannot turn their code into program not to talk of their students.

Some cannot even right anything unless they are reading already prepared one.

If you're a CS graduate you'll agree with most if not all what I've said.

Many SC graduates do come to the programming section seeking advice from where to start from, what language to learn etc. I remember a guy that said he studied in maybe Hong Kong I can't remember the exact place in Asia he said his school was one of the best in that country๐Ÿ˜‚

I doubt that the people telling him how and where to start even have a diploma in CS.

A degree in CS,SE,CE,IT won't give you fluency in any programming language if you don't 'self learn", most especially in Nigeria. even the lecturer taking you C++ may not be fluent in it.

Let me rest my long epistle here. Peace.

What computer science degree are we talking about here? A university Bachelors degree from a proper university? With introduction to programming 1, 2 and Data Structures? Or are we talking some other program?

And medical degrees are practical based? Anatomy alone is a made course in theory. And at what year do medical students start getting clinical experience?
in every sense of it you can't compare a degree in medicine with CS.

When you graduate as a medical doctor you're job ready and all what you need to be a qualified medical doctor have been acquired though you gain more experience as you practice.

In the anatomy you're talking about you are still given the opportunity to practice the theory in the clinic.

After graduation you can easily pass any job interview and be employed.

As a graduate of computer science (solely based on what you're taught in the school) try and apply for any role in in all these numerous adverts on indeed, LinkedIn, etc.

After your first three interviews nobody will advise you before you'll be typing" how to learn web development", what is the easiest language to learn" in Google search. lol

When you get to 400l level all those introduction to programming, to Java,to pasca etc that you've learn in 100-200l are already gone. Intro to operating system, kernel and the rest you won't even remember most of them coz you're loaded with more loads and you're also struggling with project and how to graduate.

During exam you're more concerned about how to pass each course.whether cramming or any means.... Just to pass.

After preparing for your 400l exam if the lecturer decide to set the questions from 200l many students will fail so tell me how what you learn in the uni will land you let say a developer role after graduation.you can't even pass the rigorous interview.

A CS degree is only an advantage but not what you need to enter the IT world. you won't be able to code in most of the languages you'll be thought.

Lol is it these languages you can't even master in a year that you want to learn in a semester or two semesters?

When you try to clear people on this issue some will say you're pained bcoz you didn't go to school. I studied Information Technology and only 4 core courses were not common to both departments during our time.

I'm not try to say a SC degree is useless but not enough as you guys are painting it to look like it's the alpha and Omega in the IT world.

If you don't learn and master a skill a SC degree may become useless or maybe you can be employed in cyber Cafe.

Again that introduction to programming 1,2,3 you're talking about is there open and free online, plus data structures.

Wait which data structures are you even bragging of. Is it the same one you're taught and can't even pass a DSA interview?

If you're a programmer and also have a SC degree. Answer this question with honesty:

How did you learn programming?

What can a surgeon do that a quack cannot do?
stop this, a CS degree holder cannot program anything.

What is being thought in the college is different from what is required on the field.

A CS degree holder still needs to update, upgrade and even needs to still go the path of self education before he or she can be good in any of the IT skills.

So don't compare CS with medical courses that are paractical based. If you don't invest in yourself or acquire skills on your own, as a CS graduate you may not even know how to operate a computer.

But most tech jobs actually demand you having degree in CS .Infact even in Software Engineering role,CE degree is still preferable to SE.
Those jobs demanding a CS degree will equally accept SE,CE,IT and in some cases mathematics degree.

Some company will list it as a CS degree, IT,... and related courses. What they actually need is a basic computer science knowledge, if you like give them a first class degree they'll still slap you with a rigorous interview in the particular role they want to employ you for.

You have a small minded view of computer science.
Is this the same computer science degree that's theory theory and after graduation you won't know any tangible thing?

Tell me one thing you can do very well with a CS degree, What software or app you can create from start to finish after this degree.

It's not even about Nigeria thing, a friend studied CS in China still I didn't see much of difference only that more practical base projects were engaged which still couldn't fully prepare him to take on any major IT role.

What IT role can you apply for and pass through all the rigorous interview stages only with the knowledge you acquired in the University?

Your degree is only an added advantage when it comes to the practical world it's not enough to push you through.

It's a known fact that CS degree will be useless to you if you don't later go the path of self learning. I studied IT and in my UNI the courses that was not common to both degree wasn't more than 4 so please just stop this hype.

If truly you're a CS graduate tell me how you felt after graduation. Did you feel the degree had really prepared you well enough to enter the IT world?

All those courses we studied are available freely online. Anyone can just download and finish everything in just a year. The only difference is we earned a degree (title) to show for it.

For example anyone can go to Nation Open Universities site and download all their CS course materials and study them on his/her own.

Apart from the military, Police can do the work of all other security agents including some of the paramilitaries like the road safety, customs, DSS, VIO, Civil Defense
it's even in the police act they can stand in place of the military and perform it's function when they're not readily available or inadequately present to defend the state from foreign invasion or the like. Peace keeping mission is also a military duty which police also performs.

Can you imagine many people displaying their ignorance through their comments and still forming as if they know it all. Other agencies even envy police, but they're abusing the power, forming alpha and omega, that's one of the reasons military and police never agree. If they're in joint patrol and it happens that the most senior policeman's rank is equivalent to the most senior military man's rank the policeman is required to lead the team coz it's internal security. Lol this normally cause problem ๐Ÿ˜‚ and That's why they mostly separate them these days. Police is the father to all the others security formations but military no dey gree.

In a country like Naija u will be correct. But Stricto sensu police doesn't have the power to do so, the Police Act didn't empower them to do so.
have you for once read the police act? what I listed are not just hearsays. Police power is beyond what you think.I was one so I know what I'm saying. If you're going jeje on your own a policeman has the power to stop and search you. The one that PRO told people that police doesn't have power to search your phone is bcoz Mobile phone didn't exist when the act was created so it was not listed in the act lol. After a policeman search you and doesn't find anything incriminating he still have the power to take you to the station base on mere suspicion ground, he can still charge you to court without concrete evidence so it's left for you to hire a lawyer to defend you else you will be reminded straight off. I think the police act needs to be amended....
