The style of writing is obviously not so typical of a Nigerian 14yr old....

And why did he disappear? He should come and defend what Dual Core posted....

Thanks for the advice jare...wa gbayi

@Elvis,work more on what you know and money will surely roll in legitimately. And as for you Nigerians (with few exceptions) with your unreasonable sentiments..i will continue to shake my head.Your gullibility is indeed unrivaled anywhere in the world.That is why we have the crop of leaders we have had since independence.We lack common sense as a people and do not look deeply at things before we adopt them.A mere look at what Elvis wrote would have been clear to any deep thinker that it is pure and unadulterated scam.
Not necessarily

Our reputation precedes us and situations like this (if bumdish is correct) make it hard to help those truly in need, it's a shame because not all nigerians are fraudsters

But majority of Nigerians are.Just that so many haven't got the opportunity to showcase the stuff they are made off.All blames goes to the get rich quick syndrome inherent in the DNA of majority of Nigerians

For those that tried to help, do not be discouraged, keep that attitude. Some rats may come around to spoil for others. But we'll ignore them.

elvis10ten: My name is Elvis Chidera, a 14 years old SSS1 student of U.V.A (Ultimate Victory Academy),
Rumuodara, Portharcourt. I am a programmer. I started learning programming at the age of 11 years (the basic things). I know java, php, j2me and a little python.

Last year i decided to build an app for mobile phones, i thought of something that is needed in the society and its within my power to create a solution for and i came up with Xmx Me. It is an app for j2me enabled phones used for sending sms at a reduced price.

It took me the whole of my third term holiday to build + more three weeks, i missed classes due to the development of the app. I got featured on techmoran some months after launch http://techmoran.com/2012/11/11/xmx-mebulk-sms-app-developed-by-a-14-year-old-boy-from-port-harcourtnigeria/#sthash.q09KV9e5.dpbs . After many months of running, i discovered some bugs in the application. I tried fixing them but i found out that i couldn't do that with my phone. I learnt programming with my phone and up till now i still use it for development. I use a nokia 2690 with a j2me compiler known as (J2ME SDK MOBILE www.mumey.wen.ru). With more people moving to android and ios i knew i was out of shape and outdated. For the past 3 months i have been looking for a pc so i can build more apps that solves peoples problem and debug Xmx Me, i was so close in getting the pc => i took an iphone from a friend to sell it and get a pc(fairly used) and pay him back later but i lost the iphone in a place i went to charge it so i can sell it the following day. That was my last option and personally i can't even raise up to 5000.

This financial limitation can make me sell Xmx Me, but i don't really want to (sometimes i feel i should sell it sometimes i don't) because i know Xmx Me has a brighter and better future with me. Right now, am still
looking out for people so as to raise the money for the laptop and if i don't get
people that can help me, i might have to sell it (which i don't want to do).

Please i need your advice. I don't want history to repeat itself it my life, i once had a great interest, love and passion for robotics and any thing about building stuffs before but for this same reason(money) i don't know how i left it. I built a bristlebot, crossbow and other misc. Things, i learnt alot about robotics (especially societyofrobots.com) going down to building a robot shark, but i can't remember how i lost interest after realizing after one year i couldn't get a microcontroller, a sensor, a motor(electric fan) and a pc. Please help.

I am selling Xmx Me(app + site). The site is www. . I make about 2k-6k a month from the site without advertisement. The app have different ways of monetizing it with ad. Xmx Me enables people send sms at a reduced price which is adjustable by you. Some of the uniqueness and features of Xmx Me are: 1)It has a light and easy to use ui. 2) It uses little bandwidth thereby minimizing bandwidth cost. 3)It has a phone book utility option which allows mass selection of numbers from the phone book/contacts. 4)It has a service page which is dynamic and can offer things like jokes, fixtures, etc. The services page also understand and interpret a scripting language built by us known as Xscript which can make a page more dynamic and beautiful. The things that can be done with the Xscript currently are bold text, underline text, line break, italics text, input forms, submit button. 5)Multiple receipients support. We have 110-250 unique visitors per day. Reason for selling it: i no longer have time to manage it. Interested buyers should contact me here or through my email elvis.chidera@gmail.com with the price you want to buy it. I want to sell it for about 30,000. Saw this in your posts. Sounds like both stories contradicts. If u make 2k to 6k in a month,u can actually save em and get a lappy. The former said u wana sell cus u dnt hv time and here u are talking abt finance. Anyway,I have an entirely different proposal you may like,would fetch quite some cash. Am in pH too,let's hook up. Cindymaybaby@yahoo.com

Re: 14-Year-Old Nigerian Bulk SMS App Developer In A Dilemma by BOLAJIAJANI(m): 6:57pm On Jun 30, 2013

When I first saw this thread, I had doubts 'cause a lot didn't add up. But, I rarely say anything without proof, not that I've done any investigation myself now. But to people who complained about the writing; a 14yr old person could write all what he wrote, practice makes perfect. Also, its no doubt that a 14yr old could do what he did as per the app.

The facebook thingy doesn't mean he's lying about his age to us; I've a 9yr old brother who has a facebook account and I'm sure his D.O.B is not 2004 on facebook.


However, the op is lying; He is not 14, but he owns the app. I'm not going to blame him 'cause desperation can make one do just anything. Nevertheless, lying or doing anything that would question his integrity is a stupid thing to do on his part.

That was my reply before this topic disappeared mysteriously few days ago. Elvis, next time try to be coherent with your posts and avoid anything shady. Hope you have been cleared?
