Today, I received the Amazon Kindle PaperWhite e-Reader I mentioned ordering two weeks ago. It is not exactly like it looked online.

It's a good read any day, any time. I hope ...
After a long weekend crisscrossing Lagos, Kaduna and Abuja to deliver our quarterly Business Data Analysis and In-depth Excel Training in Abuja, I rested today and decided to do an interesting data analysis task. Do a sentiment analysis on today's tweets about the President, Buhari. It was a very interesting task. Made me get familiar with Python's Tweepy library. I got some ...

The popularity of R is due to its open-source nature and the huge community contributing ...
