How To Do A Project

This week I just completed my requirements for my final school project and there were a lot of interesting  experiences during the period of the project. If I had to go back and do it all over again there are a number of things that I would probably do differently. I guess that's why I was really inspired to write this post on how to execute a project.

Option 1
This method involves actually taking the project seriously. With this option you do all the required research, follow up with your supervisor then you give him feedback of the work you've actually done. In my department your  project isn't just research based so you have to implement the system you research about and since this is the  option we have decide to go with you have to develop the system in you project. In summary with this option you would have to stress yourself till points where you just pass out.

Xenophobia- The South African Incident

Yesterday after a very hectic day i got wind of what has been happening in South Africa that started a little under a week ago . For those of you who haven't heard the Zulu boys and other members of the South African community (mostly gangs) decided all the misfortunes that have befallen themselves and their brothers is solely the fault of immigrants, specifically African immigrants who came from other countries on the same continent. They believe these immigrants have taken things that belong to them like jobs, money and their livelihood in general so they decided to steal from, injure and kill foreigners in Durban and parts of KwaZulu-Natal (spelling might be wrong).

Wars have been started for less.

I do not understand this at all. Why would they blame the poor state of their lives on others who probably had to fight tooth and nail to thrive in a foreign community. We are talking about fellow Africans here, people of the exact same color, what advantage would they have over them in their own land? Its not like the education in other parts of Africa is better than theirs in South Africa so why would they be preferred over them. These acts are terrible and are those of weak minded, lazy individuals who can do nothing for themselves and as a result look for who to blame for their sorry state.

Church Battles

Okay, so this post is inspired by another post I saw earlier where this babe was judging us guys for wearing fitting suits to church, wearing glasses and basically doing anything except breathing in church as she finds it offensive as it’s apparently hard to concentrate because of the “lustful thoughts” that drift into her mind. The link here

Well I got one message for her and all other girls who are having this challenge… ladies, you have no idea!

Many of us good Christian men wake up on Sunday mornings and thank God for a new day and for another chance to experience corporate fellowship with their fellow good Christians. We then get prepared to go to church while singing praises and we are so elated because we are about to go into the house of God.

We get to the church and while praise and worship is ongoing, suddenly, something strange happens as our eyes drift from the pastor to the young female entering the church in heels and a dress that leaves little to the imagination, but apparently, since it’s long enough to cover her knees, it’s supposedly decent enough, we didn't realize we had stopped singing, whether it’s because we’re speechless or because we forgot the words to the song, we are still unsure, scientists are still doing their research.

Random Stuff I've Been Anticipating

Hi everyone, hope you enjoyed the Easter holidays? I didn't but i'm moving on from that.
During the course of the year a lot of things have either just caught my eye (as the vanity slave that I am) ,have just piqued my interest while I was doing research (as a professional I've done my homework ) or just when I was dilly dallying *In Frank Dunga's voice*, a sort of wishlist if you will.

So i'm just going to list the ones I can remember at the moment and briefly talk about them.  

Are you ready?

The Prenup Argument

Some mates and i were having an argument a while back about prenups, the likelihood for a rich individual to ask his/her significant other to sign it and the likelihood for that partner to sign or refuse to sign it. Explaining it the way we talked about it would be boring so this is a less boring (still boring tho) illustration of a scenario i brought up that started the conversation.

 Chidi is was your average everyday hustler, he grew up with his average parents, attended average schools and generally had an average life, well that is until he hit it big in the cement business and became a billionaire. Chidi used to have a tough time pulling chicks and the few girl that he got back then eventually left him for someone they felt was better than he was but of course that changed when my nigga got rich, now females are at his beck and call, and after having fun for a while he met Mofopefoluwa. Mofopefoluwa's background is quite similar to Chidi's but unlike Chidi she is yet to blow. They fall in love and decided to walk down the aisle, before the marriage though Chidi decides he must have Mofopefoluwa sign a prenup to prove she's not with him for the money.

I don't know why i'm asking when you guys never drop comments but to fulfill all righteousness:

Ladies, would you sign the prenup if you were in Mofopefoluwa's shoes?

And guys would you ask Mofopefoluwa to sign a prenup if you were Chidi?

The Whale And The Power Puff Puff Boys

As my custom is i have carried last again in the getting gist department and if you are just seeing the pic above then you are my course-mate. Yesterday twitter was abuzz with a lot of pictures and captions making fun of three fashionista(s) in my uni just like the above picture and by God were they funny. Like the speed at which some people come up with this stuff is just astonishing, if we were all as good and serious with our studies as we are with social media the average GPA would be able to send text message, but that's a message for another day.

For real though i don't know why people have an issue with their outfits, I know i cannot wear any of the outfits but they look dapper in my opinion, granted they look really flashy but they wore it cuz they think its fashionable and they love fashion. If foreigners were the ones in the suits you would see how the same girls laughing at these guys would be fawning over them. And i'm sure the same people that hailed them on the faithful Sunday would be laughing now o, this life.

Significance

 Happy new year people, hope you had a good 2014 and wishing you a great 2015. If you haven't already go ahead and read the short article on the picture above. Its hilarious right, a family celebrating a child who placed third to the last in her examinations, just imagine you came home with a result like that back in the day, how would your parents have reacted to it? I remember the times i didn't place in the first three positions in class in primary school i would get a lecture about how i needed to do better, even when i did but didn't place first i would still be reminded that the person or people who beat me did not have two heads, but here we have a family celebrating a failure so to speak. At first i was confused as to why they would celebrate such a thing but then i imagined the scenario playing out in my head, here we have parents who watch their kid fail completely every time she writes an exam, always placed dead last and having to look at the sadness and tears in her eyes every single time, no parent can just keep punishing such a child who makes obvious efforts to improve but keeps failing. The teachers and students at her school probably already told her how much of a failure she is why would her parents make her feel worse than she already did. So when they saw the joy in the little girl's face when she didn't place last as usual they could not help but be happy, for the first time their little girl felt she was better than what society labeled her to be. To everyone else that was an insignificant improvement but no to the little girl and the joy she felt must have moved her parents, and that makes perfect sense to me.

The lesson here is no matter how insignificant something might seem to you, it might mean something to someone else don't look down on something just cuz it holds not importance to you.

thoughts of an addictive thinker

For every challenge there is always a right response, for every victory there is always a bitter struggle, for every answer there is always a question and for every man there is always a WHAT?
What is the most used word, while the most asked questions are what do you want? And what do you need? Anyone can know who you are or when you want something or even the manner you want it most of the time but very few times people even closest to you can answer the question what you want, Even what you need can be answered more times basing it on your evnironment and stage in life at that moment.

Weird Stuff: Chinese Hitchhiker Pays For Trips With Sex

The Hitchhiker

So this 19 year Chinese girl decides she wants to take a tour of her country and since she had no money she thought of a brilliant way to take the tour for free (sort of). She posted an ad on Chinese website Weibo saying she's looking for "temporary boyfriends" who must be "good looking, under 30, taller than 1.75 meters and, of course, rich", her plan? To have them pay for her trip to their respective cities and all expenses she might incur while there for a night of undivided attention and sex. In her words

"They will fund my transport to their city and all my expenses while I am there and they need to be generous. In return, they get a whole night with me, my undivided attention, and a chance to show themselves off in the company of a truly beautiful girl."

My Week With The Dean

So last week i had to suffer punishment laid out by the dean for doing absolutely nothing. The thing is the Dean came to my hall last week in the middle of the night to look for a student and guys acknowledged his presence by throwing a plastic pack and as i later heard a piece of bread at him and booing him as he attempted to leave. The dean seemed ready to overlook the fact that projectiles were aimed at him since he dodged them like the agents from Matrix but he just couldn't take the loud boos he got from the guys so he decided to come back in and pack as many students as he could and blame the incident on them. You see my room is by the balcony and that's where the students gathered to boo and hurl projectiles at him so he decided to judge all members of my room as guilty. So for a five days or so some unlucky sons of Eve and I had to join the crop of students the good dean had pick to torment for either committing actual offenses or getting caught in a compromising situation that is no way contrary to the rules, but as the dean made clear to us, impressions are more important than the truth. So for five days i was posted in a group that had to tell students passing by to remember to stick to the rules or correct those actually breaking it after-which we would report to a conference room wait for an hour then get lectured by the good dean.

After the duration of the punishment was over the dean requested we send him a one page report so to speak, about our experience and what we got out of it and this is what i sent:

You Can Only Choose One

I saw this earlier on thenakedconvos, a blog i read frequently and i decided to make this post it. Of the six pills in the picture you can only choose one so i have to choose the one i think i'll use most efficiently or that would be the most fun so here's my opinion on the pill selection pill by pill.

The Blue pill. Well that's an easy one, no way i'm choosing that one. Why would i choose something that would leave me lifeless in just ten years, unless i take it when i'm like 85 and i can't wait so many decades just to take the pill.

The Red pill. Yes the internet is important and stuff but come on, i can only choose one, no way i'm wasting my choice on the ability to check facebook and twitter or scroll through 9gag six times a day. I'll use my phone for that.

The Orange pill. Well i've never actually gotten high so i don't see why i would choose the ability to get high 4 times a day when i could choose to read minds or fly. Sure getting high sounds fun but seriously i could just buy high grade weed if i ever decide to touch the clouds of my mind.

The Black pill. The ability to see the future, nice. I can live with the hassle since i could just look into the future and use that information to get loads of money and always stay one step ahead of danger. The problem i have with this is the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is when little ripples in time causes the future to change, so one little thing done differently might lead to a completely different future, just you seeing the future might have changed it already. Also it would be boring knowing almost everything that would happen, life without surprises is boringggggg.

Lost In Ibadan

My car has been having different issues lately and so it spent a lot of time at the mechanics while i went back to my Okada hopping ways and today, after spending more than two weeks i got to drive it again. I had errands to run for my dad and on my way back i decided to take what i thought was a shortcut. I ended up roaming in the most rural areas of Ibadan completely lost. I visited some areas for the first time today, i felt i would still come out at a reasonable location if i kept going straight so i did, but after a long time on unfamiliar very narrow roads i decided to turn left and see where that road led. After a while i decided to buy gasoline has the gauge doesn't work and i wasn't sure of how much was left in the tank. Immediately i made my way into the filling station my roadmachine went offline. I thanked my stars it didn't happen in the middle of the road and went on to fill my tank thinking it was an empty tank that got it to go off, but well it wasn't. Turns out the radiator the mechanic was supposed to fix was now worse than before and it had swallowed up the three liters of water i put in it before heading out and was now empty.  Had to wait for more than thirty minutes to fill it again with six sachets of pure water before being able to continue my quest to find familiar land, the people around were very nice and helpful by the way. Long story short when i got home the radiator was dry again, i'm just praying this situation hasn't caused further damage to my ride.

Moral Lesson: Avoid unknown shortcuts and get a good mechanic.

My Friend's Encounter With Scam Artists
