I have applied for many scholarships throughout my academic journey before now and gotten a couple of them. My masters program was a scholarship to China to study computer science and I have about two Ph.D. scholarships already secured. Therefore, I’m in the best position to give you this tip.

“Tell me about your academic journey” is a frequent question asked by Professors and graduate academic staffs. While this question may be tough to answer, don’t blame them for asking. They only want to familiarize themselves with you and to know if you’re capable of what you claim you are. So how do you answer this question?

  1. Have a story to tell: This method always works. You essentially want to give them a summary of your research journey from being an undergraduate up till masters level, or to what you currently are researching on as the case may be.
  2. Show your research prowess and abilities in the essay: It is important to mention your role in the research team, the journal/journals you have published if any and the relevance of your publication.
  3. Show your enthusiasm to research: The first thing every Professor wants to see is your zeal and enthusiasm for research. Without this, you may not likely finish your program, because research could be overwhelming at times. Every researcher understands this.

Here is an example that captures all these tips, look at the block below

My research Journey started since 2014 after a course taught by a Professor on data analysis in my fourth year leading to my final project year. I picked interest in data security and integration for identification management and along side two others in the team, we were able to accomplish the task. At that time, there was a lurking challenge with the Nigerian data bureau department, in that there was no databank or a form of data integration between government agencies. Each agency was almost monotonous, collecting the same information from citizens every time it was required. The project was quite challenging seeing that the task to to develop a mathematical model that could integrate database of different schemas which was a difficult thing to do because we had no prior knowledge of other schemas of data apart from the structured data forms. With the help of my supervisor and my team mates, we pulled strides of excellence to make this possible using  prototype schemas from from 12 governmental agencies at that time because real user data was not given to us due to confidentiality issues. Hereafter, we published a paper in the European scientific Journal to this effect.

 Furthermore, my interest for data security deepened as I embarked on another journey of research in my master’s program, this time using blockchain technology. After reading several papers on SQL injection attacks, I found a gap i could fill, thereby solving a major problem for database administrator and web developers. At that time, there were many models that dealt very well with SQL injection attack, but these models could not deal conveniently well with second-order injection attacks. This method mimics a previous method developed by Boyd & Keromytis, 2004 using a random key on every SQL keyword, but this time, I not only used random key but used the public and private keys of the stellar blockchain technology, an Ed25519 public-key signature system that verifies the query process. Eventually, my model solved the problem while still maintaining just a little above the response time of the previous models. 

 Overall, my journey has been quite an interesting one, having met a plethora of great research minds, in my universities as well as on research network platforms like research gate, where I was able to ask questions and collaborate with other researchers. it is now very glaring that studying and doing research are endeavours I would like to engage in even more.

Bitcoin’s movement in the crypto market lately has been very volatile. The rally this year has hit a speed bump putting it on track for the worst weekly drop ever in almost a year amid wider losses in risk assets.

The largest cryptocurrency in the coinmarketcap this week slumped as much as 20%, the most since March 2021 and is now holding for about $45k as of the time of this post. This has also affected other currencies connected with it (Ethereum and Binance) as seen from the graph below.

Why this fall?

The drastic fall and rough patch for bitcoin comes amid wider chaos in the global markets, as a surge in bond in turn implies growing expectations that inflation are also moving higher and forcing market traders to reevaluate the value of their assets across multiple platforms. By now, it is not longer news that Elon Musk’s Tesla lost about $15m as Tesla’s stocks declined. This is also as a result of this weekly drop

Asset risks are taking a toll at the moment, and we’re seeing stocks slide and crypto is also following, this is because somehow, cryptos are still controlled by the physical currencies. Little wonder central banks of many countries in the world are not in full support yet. The dollar is strengthening which is a good indication to expect a slide in bitcoin and other cryptos.

Can we still trust crypto ?

Bitcoin’s weakness in the face of market fluctuations raises serious concerns and questions as to whether it is suitable to hold value and hedge inflation. This is a growing talk in the community of stakeholders and proponents of the use. Detractors have maintained that the digital assets’s surge is a speculative bubble and it’s destined for a repeat of the 2017 boom and bust. (A rollercoaster I will never forget).

The bot system has come to stay in our technological eco-system. Many websites now use the bot system to interact with customers for conflict resolution, information sharing and a whole lots more. One of the many ways by which businesses attend to customer issues is by providing a support phone line to reach. Sadly, for some of them, when you try to reach them, you are greeted with an option system on the call. (The sad part is that your credit is blown away while the bot give the options to follow). Eventually, there is an option to speak with the call center agent or any technician as the case may be.

The question I ask myself is this: are the options necessary at all?

They might argue that the options will cater for some of the things that the customer need and this reduces stress for them, having to pick all the calls and explain the same thing to the customer, but my research has shown that, a lot of people that reach businesses by their phone numbers want to speak with a human being and not a bot.

What do you think about this ?

There are many businesses that could fetch you money in Nigeria; one of which is a cashew nut business, but starting this business requires you to have some information. Nigeria is one of the largest producers of raw cashew nuts in shells worldwide with a yearly export volume of at least $167 million US dollars and untapped yearly potentials of over $115.8 million US dollars. In 2017 alone, cashew nuts exporters in Nigeria exported over 220,000 tonnes of Cashew Nuts. The Cashew Market worldwide is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period (2020-2025). Among all the cashew producing nations, African countries contributed 56.5% of the global production, while Asian countries contributed 44%.

Getting Cashew Nut in Nigeria

Currently, Nigeria has about 600,000 surviving cashew trees spread across the East-West, South, and Northern Nigeria, with an average yield of about 200kg to 400kg per hectare. Precisely in Enugu and Abia states of Nigeria, there is a lot of cashew kernels there. You can be in the supply chain from the point of harvest to the point of exporting the raw kernel to countries like USA, Germany, and other European countries. So how do you start?

There are two ways of getting this business started;

  1. One way is by going to the source where the cashew kernel is being collected raw and sacked for sale or
  2. By contacting some third-party agent to get the ones that have been cleaned, processed and fried, ready for eating.

The latter is more convenient and easy to start. You must also

  • Know the different types of Cashew nuts that exist
  • Get your customer base ready; find sourcing
  • Get trainings on how to sell rightly

How much can you start this business?

With N50,000 or less, you can successfully start this business leveraging on the the second option. In Nigeria today, there are many agents that could help you get the processed form and sell in wholesale at departmental stores or online stores like Jiji, Jumia, Konga. This is also a way of making extra money every month. At questionbump, we have an agent that will get this for you in bulk quantity.

Before now, I never knew that it was very easy to get the Nigerian TIN. In fact, if you have a BVN, you automatically have a Tax Identification Number. Surprised? Let me show you how.

I wanted to use my Nigerian TIN for some official purpose online when I was required to fill in my TIN. In shock I was, I don’t pay tax, I’m just a student, I’m not a civil servant, so i thought, until I went searching and found this link for TIN. All you need to do is to supply the details on the form. Make sure to tick the box which proves that you are not a robot and voila, you have it .

My Major Concern

Does it mean that anyone who knows your details such as date of birth and BVN can easily get your TIN? Hmmmmmm, Well, you guessed right, the answer is YES!. The BVN (Bank Verification Number) in itself is very porous in Nigeria right now. Anyone with access to the phone number used to register for BVN can have it immediately by dialling *565*0#. Hahaha, and with your BVN, so many thing can be done in your identity. Be careful with it out there.

WHY TIN AGAIN?

The Nigerian government I believe are very smart, they know that citizens will not opt in for tax deductions on their own accord. The only way to properly document tax payers is to give them a TIN of-cause. Therefore, they auto-generate it on registering for BVN. BVN is very important in Nigeria, because without it, you cannot carry out any bank transaction.

There are many ways to buy things from China and ship to Nigeria and if possible to your door step. You might be a seller who sells things on jumia, konga, jiji, or any of these e-commerce stores in Nigeria, re-seller who helps others sell their products as a retailer or an outright buyer who just wants things from china because let’s face the fact, China is the No 1. production destination of the world today. This is another good way to make passive income,So how can you buy from china?

I have heard of countless online seminars that people organise in order to teach people how to buy things from china and ship to Nigeria to sell, but the process is really simple. If you know these sites, you are one step closer

  • Taobao
  • Pinduoduo
  • 1688
  • Alibaba

With these sites, you can buy just about anything from China today. The major challenges for most people are;

  • These websites are all in chinese, unless you have a Google translate Chrome extension before you can understand anything
  • Secondly, after your purchase, you have to pay in yuan which is chinese currency with the exception of Alibaba, for that, you can pay in dollars. So now you are probably wondering, how can i get yuan, since I’m not in china

How can I ship it down?

There is a website that can help you do this. Buy from china is a trusted platform that many people have employed to ship to Nigeria. All you need to do is fill the form and specify the products to buy, where you have seen them on the site mentioned above, the sellers in china will be contacted on your behalf to ensure the product is quality enough. Thereafter, your products will be shipped down to you.

The advantage of using this service is that you don’t have to think about customs clearing and all the bureaucracy that comes with shippjng to Nigeria, I’m sure you know them already if you’re into this business.

Finally, you get your products from China in any of the warehouses location; Lagos, Abuja or Kano. From there, you can pick up or have it shipped directly to your door step where ever within Nigeria.

Note: Shipping takes 4 days to 1 week to get to Nigeria, and to your door step, could take more than that

I woke up this morning, and found that my urine is yellow and I was a bit scared, I then had to find out from a Pharmacist, and this is what he had to say; there are many reasons why one’s urine can be yellow, in my case, it was lack of enough water, but i will list out other reasons why this could happen.

CAUSES OF YELLOW URINE

  • Jaundice: Jaundice is a condition in which the skin, whites of the eyes and mucous membranes turn yellow because of a high level of bilirubin, a yellow-orange bile pigment. Jaundice has many causes, including hepatitis, gallstones and tumors. In adults, jaundice usually doesn’t need to be treated
  • Lack of water: Water is an essential daily need of the body, this article says that Water carries nutrients to all cells in our body and oxygen to our brain. Water allows the body to absorb and assimilate minerals, vitamins, amino acids, glucose and other substances. Water flushes out toxins and waste. Water helps to regulate body temperature.
  • Malaria: Did you believe when you saw this? that malaria can cause you to have yellow urine. early recognition of warning signs in malarial patients allows timely identification of the patient at risk of severe malaria and provides opportune treatment. Jaundice and dark urine are frequent signs that can alert to the occurrence of severe malaria.
  • Drug: Excess drug in your body system can also cause your urine to be yellow. A number of drugs can darken urine, including the antimalarial drugs chloroquine and primaquine, the antibiotics metronidazole (Flagyl) and nitrofurantoin (Furadantin), laxatives containing cascara or senna, and methocarbamol — a muscle relaxant. it is important to be in health and stay away from drugs as mush as possible
  • Vitamin B-complex: This is a common cause that many people are unaware about, but it is easy to spot being that the tablet itself is yellow. Bright yellow urine is common when taking a vitamin B complex, specifically due to the B2 vitamin, also known as riboflavin. In fact, “flavin” comes from the Latin “flavus” which means yellow. So don’t ditch your daily vitamins yet—they’re actually a vital part of maintaining your overall health

Once upon a time pharmacist could open a shop, and the customers would come. Pharmacy owners had plenty of patients and made a very decent living. There is a huge difference between community pharmacist in eyita and hopsital pharmacist. If they didn’t own a pharmacy then, perhaps they met or heard about those who did—those who profited in days of yore. 

That was then, and this is now.

Today, it is far more easy for people to search for pharmacy shops around them or to leave their current pharmacies, to transfer their business to a new pharmacy… even to drive past all the competitors, and especially to bring all of their health needs to someone new.

Therefore it is necessary that you are able to find pharmacy shops easily around Ikorodu and precisely in eyita. One outstanding shop you want to check is JAYTOP PHARMACY AND STORES, 1, Oguntade Street, Off Temade street, Eyita, Ikorodu. There, you can see the consultant who has been practicing for more that 30 years within the government civil service, to get all your issues sorted out. All you need to do is go within in the opening hours of the business

I recently wanted to execute a cron job to run an sql file in a shared hosting website. In my case, I wanted to reset by database every hour and everyday for a demo website. There are two methods to achieving this;

  • Using the cron job from the cpanel
  • Using an external service to run the cron job for you

METHOD 1

I learnt from this task that running the sql file directly from the cron job is not so efficient. In fact, in my own project, it didn’t work. Therefore, I changed my method. I wrote the script in a php file calling the sql file, while the cron job calls the php file, because it is more convenient that way. Though, if you just want to run a php script, it can be passed to the cron job in the cpanel and hopefully, it works for you.

In the cron job on the cpanel, there is a guide in order to use it properly. For example

/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/(username)/public_html/nameofthefile.php

<?php

$con = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
if (!$con) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_connect_error());
}

$sql = 'DROP DATABASE db_name';
if (mysqli_query($con, $sql)) {
    //echo "Database db_name was successfully dropped\n";
} else {
    echo 'Error dropping database: ' . mysqli_connect_error() . "\n";
}
$createsql = 'CREATE DATABASE db_name';
if (mysqli_query($con, $createsql)) {
    //echo "Database db_name created successfully\n";
} else {
    echo 'Error creating database: ' . mysqli_connect_error() . "\n";
}

$mysql_host = "localhost";
$mysql_database = "db_name";
$mysql_user = "username";
$mysql_password = "password";
# MySQL with PDO_MYSQL
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=$mysql_host;dbname=$mysql_database", $mysql_user, $mysql_password);

$query = file_get_contents("file.sql"); // calls the sql file here

$stmt = $db->prepare($query);

if ($stmt->execute()) {
    echo "Success";
} else {
    echo "Fail\n";
}

then you select the timing you need for this job to run for.

METHOD 2

In my case, this file above didn’t work on the server, but worked on the localhost which was really surprising. The PDO part of the code, didn’t work to be precise, so initially I thought my shared hosting service didn’t enable PDO for my php version which was 7.3 at that time, after confirmation that it was enabled, I then knew I had to find an alternative to the cron job issue. After much researching, I found google cloud platform (serverless computing — not free) so I couldn’t use it, I then found another online service- webcron that could do this. I registered and configured for what I needed. The only major thing you need to supply is the url.

Therefore, i just supplied https://domain-name.com/nameoffile.php. and BOOM, it worked as I expected.

Matthew, like many other regular guys I know, has a 8-5 job. He gets up as early as 6.30am to get dressed for work so that he can beat the early morning crazy Lagos traffic, works so hard in a commercial bank every day, yet his regular income can barely last him through the first three weeks of the month, let alone save part of it. He was concerned and he knew he had to do something about the situation really fast in order to earn extra every month

Many of us find ourselves in such financial dilemma and often times resort to dubious means to make more money quickly. What if there are other legitimate means of achieving the same goal, or other ways to earn extra income wouldn’t that be better? To be honest, this post is not another motivational talks or post to steer you up but leaving you with the FACT, so let’s face the facts. To earn extra N20,000 every month, you’ll need to invest in some businesses first; I usually refer to them as RENTALS BUSINESS

RENTALS

  • Rentals: If you buy a motocycle (the one popular called Okada in Nigeria) and lease it out to someone who can ride and is faithful, N20,000 in a year profit will be N240,000. To obtain a new motocycle is about this price or less. Think about this. This is just one of the many examples of businesses you can do in terms of rentals. Others include
    • House rentals
    • Land rentals for farming
    • Equipment rentals
    • Gaming console rentals

Most importantly, do the feasibility study properly to ensure that you are not making loss in the long run, BUT , there are some soft businesses you can do that don’t require much capital and yet you can still earn extra every month up to N20,0000. Some of which are:

  1. Blogging: Owning a blog is big business these days in Nigeria, thanks to the likes of Linda Ikeji who started very early exposing many of us to it. For those who don’t understand, blogging is simply an art of writing short articles about various sources of interest and publishing it online. These articles could be about lifestyle, health, finance like the one you are reading now, games etc. All you need is a computer, phone, laptop or tablet. You can start blogging within minutes, thanks to CMS like WordPress, Joomla and other blog platforms and there are numerous articles on the web about how to start a blog. You earn money from blogs when you have a lot of visitors. Advertisers see your visitor counts and can pay you a lot of money just to have their ads on your blog. A lot of popular bloggers earn between N20, 000 to N500k per month.
  2. You have a skill, Use it: Individuals and companies always need some form of service every now and then. It could be laundry, taxi, cleaning, teaching, coaching, braiding, public speaking etc. Making money from a service depends on the type of skill you have and how much people are willing to pay for it. For example, if you are good with playing the piano, you could coach your friend’s or neighbour’s kids on how to play the piano. With the help of technology now, there are online platforms that also connect tutors with students, like Tuteria.
  3. Buying and selling: This involves petty trading of consumer goods. It’s time tested and still works quite well for many people. It is often better to start by selling things you are used to or you could do a small survey/research to find out what people need around your area. For example, if you live in a developing new site, businesses like selling sachet water, snacks, food items would move faster. It could also be dresses, shoes, smart phones, tablets that you sell.
  4. Be an agent: Agency jobs involve providing unique services for organizations, they could include schools; for example referring students to a school to enrol. Also, you can be an agent for importing and exporting goods. You need to have a license to clear products at the ports. Another form is selling air tickets to people or helping people book flights. People who don’t have such licenses can even rent them from you providing an extra source of income.
  5. Work Weekends or On off days: If you have the strength to work an extra day or two then why not try working on weekends for a few extra hours. You can take an extra job in places where weekend jobs are needed. Jobs in this category include ushering jobs, hotel, clubs and restaurants, teaching, singing, dancing etc.

The list is definitely not exhausted yet, there are still many more ways to earn extra every month for as long as you are willing to do the extra work.
