Sports probability

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty. 

Probability  helps us to quantify uncertainty and make predictions in various fields, including mathematics, statistics, and science.

In the last 24hrs approximately this time, Nigerians sat at sports watching centres and in their rooms, shaking their buttocks in ecstasy. Many were agog, happily to the high heavens as they watch the Super Eagle defeated the indomitable Lions of the Cameroun.

No one had predicted outcome
No one ever thought Nigeria could meet Cameroun in this tournament
No prophet ever predicted the match


Everything was placed on uncertain probability until they teams met, until they played, and until the Nigerian Super Eagle won.

Sports probability was out of this contest!

The Seventh Generation of Computers

After the sixth generation of computers, which focuses on artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and nanotechnology, the next generation will likely explore seventh-generation computers or beyond. These might include: 1. Quantum Computing at Scale Fully functional and accessible quantum computers capable of solving complex problems exponentially faster than current computers. 2 . Bio-Computing Computers that integrate biological components, such as DNA-based processors or neural tissue, mimicking human brain functionality. 3. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Computers that exhibit human-like cognitive abilities, understanding, learning, and reasoning in a general, adaptable way. 4. Neural Interfaces Direct brain-to-computer communication, allowing seamless interaction with technology using thoughts alone. 5. Molecular and Optical Computing Advanced technologies using light (photons) or molecules for faster, energy-efficient processing. 6. Self-Evolving Systems Machines t...

Affirmative Action in Nigerian Politics

 Affirmative action is a policy or set of measures designed to address historical and systemic inequalities by promoting the inclusion and representation of marginalized or disadvantaged groups—such as women, ethnic minorities, or people with disabilities—in areas like education, employment, and political participation.
