Has anyone recieved GEJ's cow?

Goodluck jonathan reportedly sent a cow to Pastor Tunde Bakare in the spirit of christmas. I'd like a Cow too! Don't you think that's a costly approach by jonathan if he plans on sending out cows as gifts.

Believe me i think he'd do well to share Good governance instead of cows(exactly the same thing Tunde Bakare reportedly said).
Me thinks that would be less costly.


So once again i asked 'has anyone recieved GEJ's cow or the less costly Good Governance'.

Shouting out to you peeps and 2013

Dear reader,
you helped made my wonderful year. As you already know this year i was quite interested in politics. I hope you found my permutations reasonable. And even when i took on subjects about the stock exchange i hope you didn't cringe.

You are the main reason i am here and in 2014 i hope you won't remove my blog from your reading list. Brace up for more fun.

Shoutout to all the celebrities reading my blog and to everyone.
May the lord provide you with your heart desires.
With love
Akinyemi

P.S please make sure to add me to your reading list.

Switching things up. Web design

I've always been a fan of constantly changing webpages. Constantly changing or improving designs, or at the very least an out of the blue deviation from the regular.

Facebook has always been very good at new features and improvements. But when it starts getting too much, even i begin to question myself about whether improvements are fine.

Something about facebook's improvement is that while it has made facebook more beautiful today than it was some years back, they've still not gotten that unique feature interesting enough to kill off all other competition.

Photosharing websites have
continue to grow from strengths to strengths. Micro-blogs are as stong as ever. And even facebooks introduction of hashtags hasn't really helped in a way it's supposed to. Hashtages without a 'trending' concept is a waste of time.

So yesterday when i had trouble posting a link to my timeline and i couldn't solve the problem until i removed the link from my post. I was like.....what's with all these constant changing of settings?

I got banned on Nairaland

Wow. I got banned on www.nairaland.com for ehm indirectly asking for a ban. My nairaland moniker is my alter-ego. His name is Akinmail. I call myself ahlaji akinmail. Seriously, i'm not mad since i've mostly been a troll on Nairaland. I actually laughed so hard today when i saw that i've been banned.

What happened was that i created a thread in the literature section asking to be banned and i explained that i was on a quest to get banned without breaking any rules. Did i achieve my objective? Oh yes i did. AND THAT WAS FAST.

There's a 1 million dollar price for solving each of these questions

How easy can it be to get a miilion dollars? In fact by January, you could be in your own yatch with yoour own victoria's secret girl somewhere in the carribeans.

Truly, there are easier ways of making a million dollars, but if you're down to solve some mathematics, you could be in for some cash.

TheMillennium Prize Problemsare seven problems in mathematicsthat were stated by the Clay Mathematics Institutein 2000. As of August 2010, six of the problems remain unsolved. A correct solution to any of the problems results in a US$1,000,000 prize (sometimes called aMillennium Prize) being awarded by the institute. Only the Poincaré conjecturehas been solved, by Grigori Perelman, who declined the award.
The seven problems are:
Contents
1 P versus NP
2 The Hodge conjecture
3 The Poincaré conjecture (proven)
4 The Riemann hypothesis
5 Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
6 Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
7 The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture

And here's a lil explanation of the first 2 question(you'll have to google the rest)
P versus NP
The question is whether, for all problems for which a computer canverifya given solution quickly (that is, in polynomial time), it can alsofindthat solution quickly. The former describes the class of problems termed NP, whilst the latter describes P. The question is whether or not all problems in NP are also in P. This is generally considered the most important open question in mathematicsand theoretical computer scienceas it has far-reaching consequences in mathematics, biology, philosophy[ citation needed]and cryptography(see P versus NP problem proof consequences).

If the question of whether P=NP were to be answered affirmatively it would trivialise the rest of the Millenium Prize Problems (and indeed all but the unprovable propositionsin mathematics) because they would all have direct solutions easily solvableby a formal system.
Mathematicians and Computer Scientists expect that the statement 'P=NP' will be shown to be false.
The official statement of the problem was given by Stephen Cook.
The Hodge conjecture
The Hodge conjecture is that for projective algebraic varieties, Hodge cyclesare rational linear combinationsof algebraic cycles.

Seun osewa just opened pandora's box

Nairaland's layout, features and all the numerous tabs had been non-changing since God knows when. There were obvious problem with the basic forum model nairaland uses, which stifles direct discussions between pals, dosen't encourage discussions of topics/threads beyound the normal initial comments in most cases and doesen't do a whole lot of other things that prevents an engaging experience. This is evident in the fact that there are still huge numbers of people that'll rather stay as guests rather than register and participate in the community.
Recently, nairaland has been sporting new features/tabs and one which is particularly commendable is the F/S button. Oh common it's been long overdue, in community of over a million people, there should be an efficient way to link to one another. True there's been a follow button, but the problem was that you couldn't see who followed you except you have to go search people's profile and start checking who they were following. This poses a huge privacy problem knowing that someone could be stalking you all over the place, checking every comment you make, etc without YOU BEING AWARE OF IT.

With new features being continually added to nairaland, it'll really help to improve nairaland's interaction model which means more people will make more friends and lesser number of people will be will to deactivate their accounts.

How do i become a music producer?

Okay, just typing this makes me feel cool. :) But sincerely i've got a flair for music. I make music naturally without even trying. Sometimes i just wonder how my music would sound if i actually put some effort into trying to make it sound nice. But you'll ask me this question...'why not a musician?' well i have my reasons.
Maybe i just don't feel comfortable with the fame that comes with being a musician. As a music producer you're on a 'cooler' level. You get to be the one that co-ordinates how the music sound i.e in my case i just get a chance at making music, and as a produce you'll probably have a record label(but that's a story for another day). I'll write a post about 'how to be a music producer in Nigeria' and i hope it helps me and everyone else on their journey becoming a music producer.

ASUU STRIKE TO END ALL STRIKES?

Universities are opening up left right and centre due to a directive from the federal government. Asuu as a union is a little bit divided. If the FG has its way, Asuu might lose relevance soon. Yes i would be resuming but i'm not very optimistic about what will happen from then on. A federal govenment tha is not commited to improving universities has no business being at the centre. Why is that FG dosen't want the attorney general of the federation to sign an agreement agreed between Asuu and FG? How costly can a signature be!!

ABOUT PZ, MAMADOR AND THE STOCK MARKET

Recently there has been a media blitz sort-of, about MAMADOR which is a packaged vegetable oil produced by PZ. I like companies that have superb advertising campains, to me it shows a sort-of commitment by the company to be a market leader. and when you think of it there's no brand that is a clear market leader in the sale of vegetable oils in nigeria. A clear advantage of MAMADOR vegetable oil is that it's packaged in small packets which means it's easier to build a big brand name quicker as these small packets with the acompaning brand logo gets to the final consumer. I know FMCGs business model is risky as it is suspectible to a lot of things including uncertain political landscape, one cannot just ignore a company that is taking the right steps with the right product. NB: this isn't a recommendation. Consult your investment adviser.

I NEED TO READ FOR MY ORACLE SQL EXAM

I don't know what my problem is. :/ It wont take more that 4-5 days to be prepared for the exam. I really need some more focus. Oracle is a database administration tool that's been developed for doing just that(database administration). i.e. manipulate data, store data etc. SQL is what i'm learning and i have to take an exam on it.

NIGERIA: POWER PLAYS

It's exciting times in nigeria's political landscape. Politicians are busy crosscarpeting and taking positions for 2015. As always President Jonathan keeps mute a situation which keeps everyone guessing about what he has in mind. I noticed there was a little effect on the nigerian stock market. political situations sometimes affect the stock market. i expect this down period to be short-lived however.

HOW TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE RATES OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS

The rate of chemical reaction is the amount of reaction occurring per unit time i.e. the amount of reactants converting per unit time or the amount of products being formed per unit time.

Rates of chemical reaction can be affected by the following;

1. increasing the temperature of the system
2. increasing the concentration of the reactants
3. adding a catalyst
4. increasing the sf the reactants
5. increasing the pressure if it's a gaseous reaction
6. introduction of light if it's a photolytic reaction

The Nigerian education system

The educational system in Nigeria is divided into 4 stages which are

1.       The pre-school stage (kindergarten stage)

2.       The primary education

3.       The secondary education

4.       The tertiary education

The pre-school stage consists of the kindergarten classes where student first encounter formal education. Here they are primarily thought English words and spellings and they may encounter simple mathematics in its many forms. Students are usually between the ages of 2 and 5.

The primary education stage consist of six classes that teach students a lot ranging from health-education to civics-education, core subjects like mathematics, English and Nigerian languages such as Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. The student are helped to be creative by teaching them fine/creative arts, vocational studies, music  and a whole lot more that makes this period a vey memorable experience for the student. Science is not left out as the student take a subject called elementary science which aims to introduce them to the sciences.

The secondary education is divided into two stages of three years each. These are the junior secondary school and the senior secondary school. The transition from the junior school to the senior school is only after passing a very important examination which is the junior secondary certificate examination. The choice of subject a student decides to take at the secondary school level will determine the kind of courses he or she can apply to take at the university. The subjects on offer are divided into tracts consisting of about nine subjects or more. The tracts are

1.       Science

2.       Arts

3.       Commercial

The subjects taught in senior secondary schools are listed below:

1.       Mathematics

2.       English language

3.       Literature-in-English

4.       Nigerian languages(Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba)

5.       Biology

6.       Physics

7.       Chemistry

8.       Commerce

9.       Economics

10.   Food and nutrition

11.   Clothing and textile

12.   Home management

13.   Computer science\Typing

14.   French

15.   Music

16.   Applied electricity

17.   Auto mechanics

18.   Technical drawing

19.   Geography

20.   History

21.   Christian religious knowledge

22.   Islamic religious knowledge

23.   Accounting

24.   Government

25.   Physical education

26.   Agriculture

27.   Arabic

28.   Woodwork

29.   Metal work

30.   Visual

Three year spent in senior secondary schools cumulate in a final o-level examination that then determines if a student proceeds to university. Of course an individual might decide not to proceed further at any stage he or she completed.

Most students however usually proceed to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education that abound the country. At universities they get a bachelors degree after an average of 4 years, engineering courses take 5 years, medicine and law takes 6 years each. Universities also offer maters program and PhD for those that would like to go into academics. A parallel system is the polytechnic which offers higher national diplomas after 5 years of study.

How to charge two bodies(spheres) in contact by electrostatic induction

                Here we charge using a negative body

                                         Steps

1.       Bring the charged body near a sphere. There would be separation of charges on the sphere, positive charges would move near the negatively charged inducing body and the negative charges would move away by repulsion into the next sphere.

2.      Disconnect the two spheres from touching each other.

3.      Then remove the inducing body.

How to make money rearing snails

               Rearing of snails can be a very productive pastime in Nigeria. It needs little input in terms of human effort. The African giant land snail is the common specie of snails in Nigeria, and luckily it is edible. Its scientific name is  Achatina fulica.  Starting up a backyard snail farm relatively easy compared to other animal farms. In Nigeria costs should range from about 500 naira to about 10,000 naira. Of course there is no limit to the amount of capital used for start up. The advantage is this is a business that can be started with a low as 500 to 1000 naira.

               Snails are very prolific animal that lay eggs and they do not need to mature before they start laying eggs. They usually are not affected by diseases but may be attacked by insects that crawl on the ground such as termites, ants etc. Just make sure the snail cage is really partitioned from other areas

               Since you literally do not o anything to set up a snail farm other than to buy some small snails, keep them in a secluded moist area and feed them leaves or starchy foods then it means you have a high turnover i.e. high profit margin after sales.

               Not all snail types grow up to become big. So make sure before you buy baby snails at the market ask the trader for a specie that is suitable for rearing. You will get snails in any of the big markets around.

               When your snails are fully grown you can sell them back to the traders you brought them from as babies or sell them to all the numerous roadside food joints. You can also sell them to bigger retail foods outlets like zartech but you would have to register your farm with the corporate affairs commission to do that. It takes about six months for snails to grow to maturity.

Warning: Snails must not come in contact with salt. Do not give them food waste that contains salt in them.

The French policy of assimilation in African colonies.

                          The French policy of assimilation in African colonies.

When the French colonized certain parts of Africa they met people who already had customs, values and traditions but they nevertheless embarked on a policy to turn the Africans into French people. This was not something new in the annals of history, throughout medieval times nation have sought to conquer nations so as to expand their boundaries, spread their cultures and or civilizations thus effectively turning the conquered nations into their own people.

The French went on to teach the people the French language, the French customs, the French history and a whole lot more. Things at the time that might have elevated the French language, culture and tradition to an elite level and would be aspired for by the ’locals’.

But the whole process never fulfilled it’s aims.
