rigmarolling loling

tellwisdom: Bro, i rather die being lonely than being with a Nigerian gurl

I'm actually hoping to find a Nigerian girl, a good one someday.
@ topic.
I feel you bro, i chased the papers BUT i feel like i'm missing something, that special person to share it with.

Boring

I'm not sure if this already exists but here goes my idea for a possible forum version of the game

1. I describe the word with all possible hints WITHOUT using the word itself.

2. The next person tries to guess the word, if he/she fails, next person tries (1 try per person)

3. Whoever gets it right will be determined by the originator of the idea

4. The person with the right answer will then describe another word.

If after 3 tries no one makes the right guess, the originator will then let everyone know the correct answer otherwise, I'd think it's best to carry on since we can't tell if and when that person will be active again.

Ideas to make this more interesting are encouraged and welcomed, lets be creative.
OK enough talk, here goes mine...very easy one

It's the sound from birds at night but its not a bird
This forum is starting to function like it

Socialize and when you do, make sure you're not limited to just Nigerians or other Africans. It's about who you know and that big break you've been seeking might not necessarily come from a Nigerian (or it could be), however, the main thing is to expand your network of friends (a lot of Nigerians that I know hardly make friends with people of other nationalities).

I found this on Youtube, simply hilarious haha!

This [quote author=9ja-ninja]almost every day ... when i'm cooking i call and put them on speaker, when i'm in class i text, at the movies, at a club ... even when i'm asleep i sometimes wake up just to hear their voice and go right back to sleep. i do this because i feel life is short and i know when i'm older i would wish i had given them more time ... distance is not a barrier[/quote]I never got to talk to my dad weeks before he died and that was also because he was used to calling all the time as well, kinda like freecoca's . I've since learnt my lesson and realized how short life is literally so i call my mom almost everyday plus I can't do without her, she remains my first love.

My passport expired 2 years ago and i'm planning on renewing it sometimes but not sure if that can be done here or a trip to Nigeria is required. I'm asking because my brother had to go to Abuja before he was reissued a new passport. However, in his case, his passport got lost and he also lives in England. I'm just wondering if mine will be different since the circumstances are different. Has anyone got any information on this to help out?

I'm trying to help you guys out but it won't accept any input where it says to put in the number/pin/serial, it's like totally locked. I'm using http://jamb.org.ng/unifiedtme/ if that's the right one.

strangerf: Ole. Your result is withheld for further screening.

Thief!

Dude you need to chill the fk out and stop talking shiit about other people's stuff man

Go with your marriage license and you'll be fine.

I'll not be writing a whole lot (I wish) but I thought a thread on this will be helpful. First, i'll like to say i'm not a writer so don't crucify me if i go off topic at times or err (damn tablet), i'm just an observer and concerned citizen, hear me out .

I'm appalled by the way nairaland has been turned to a war zone among the different ethnic groups with the Yoruba's and Igbo's being the most guilty in this modern warfare over the internet. With that said, i'm not here to blame anyone or take sides but to understand and identify the cause of these problems and for us to find a solution to it. My reason for bringing this up is that, I remember and reminisce about my childhood in lagos and how my parents frowned at my friendship with Igbo friends. While they thought they had good reasons for their negative perceptions of southerners, I totally disagreed and my mom and I got into it over my friends. I didn't want my life to be shaped by prejudice especially the ones other people had and not my own direct experience. I believed and still believe that everyone should be treated as an individual and not judged based on some bad experiences others had, in this case my parents. Lets look at it this way, who is your friend or family? The one who denied you water when you were thirsty and kicked you out in the street or the one who gave you food when you were hungry? The answers are pretty straightforward isn't it? While I've never had such experiences (at least none that I remember), and maybe some have, maybe not but will it be appropriate to simply hate or dislike someone who has done you no wrong simply because they are culturally different from you? Or because of what somebody else told you? My common sense tells me no (hopefully it's common :p) and I don't see any other appropriate answer to that. I remember 'chemist' as a child (the phamarcist), Nneka my best friend whom we walked to school together, my closest buddy whom we play hide and seek together and so on. I mean common guys, we all have had experiences both positives and negatives within and outside of our ethnic groups and it's painful that at this age, we can't come together and fight the common enemy. This enemy isn't nneka or the 'chemist' neither is the enemy sola or dayo. We know who they are and the earlier we come together and accept that we can't cut of that part of our body just because it hurts, the better we will be in identifying and fighting justly for our rights. I believe this generation can make a difference for the ones to come with the exposure and access to these technologies all around us. Whether we like it or not, we owe it to our children and the ones unborn to make it right and we can only do it together as one.  Whether Nigeria splits or not, we still need one another, gone are the days when a country tries to do it by itself, the world is global now, take America and China as examples. If that's not enough, would you not help your nephew or niece who is a product of brother chinedu and Aunt Remi's union? Would you let the innocent and helpless generations be caught in the crossfire solely because you refused to accept Tunji or chuks as a family? Time to sheath the sword and we can do greater things together. I love you my Yoruba bros and Sis, please lets respect our Igbo bros and Sis, lets treat others how we want them to treat us. My Igbo bros and Sis, i love you guys and hope and like for us to live peacefully while identifying the true cause of our problems.  Lets stop the hate.

I wrote this in a different section which was probably the wrong one but i'm gonna paste it hetr and hope I get more attention as I think this is an issue that needs to be taken seriously.

Mods can you move this to the front page please? I didn't think it will be this hard to get this to the front page.

@Negro_Ntns

Ok here's my take on that. You're right this is political, and while i'm not gonna deny that there have been gains associated with this either directly or indirectly, it shouldn't take away the fact that something needs to be done and fast too. Also a point to note is that, we're not gaining from this as much as we're being made to believe and think or how else do you explain the bad roads you and i have to ride on everyday? The numerous loss of lives that could have been avoided? (maybe otherwise if you're in the government or relative is but can we all be?) I lost 2 members of my family to the system that failed you and I.

Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost like that and more dying yet we still can't get our priorities right. We look at our yoruba/igbo neighbor with hatred while this common enemy continues to milk us and maltreat us. The armed men are not visiting because i'm yoruba or igbo neither am i being denied proper health care because of my ethnicity. Our leaders are not failing us because they are yoruba or igbo or whatever ethnicity, they are failing because they know they can and will continue to get away with it as long as you and I think this way.

Can this be moved to the front page mod?

@pslm23
  Thanks for that. I was hoping we all can open our hearts and understand the changes we seek has to start from us and no other time than now. I make my mom understand that even though she had her reasons for going against my friendship with other tribes, these people acted like a brother to me and I just wanna show them the love back which is only normal.

@Mobinga
I wanted to say thanks for helping out and being patient with me, i do appreciate your help and most especially your time.
@segsalerty

Thank you so much and i'm grateful that you took our time to help out as well.

I understand that but I'm saying program ain't running at all let alone prompt for anything. Nothing is coming up to type vin into.
Thanks

Mobinga:
It waits for you to input a vin number. It does something.

Will that be at runtime? Reason I'm asking is because when I run it, nothing happens, the user isn't prompted for anything. I'm sorry just a little confused. Thanks

I'm trying to use the main method to pull the text file i pasted at the top. Mobinga helped me with the code to hard code the file but for some reason, i can't get that to run in the main  program. I added the other classes i wrote if that will help in troubleshooting the problem. Thanks

For some reason, i couldn't upload these files as a text file so i ended up pasting each one in MsWord just to attach it here and to show you what i've done so far.
Thanks

Thanks for the help mobinga. I ran that program and it doesn't do anything. I wanted to check with you to see if there's anything else that needs to be done for it to run.
I'm sorry for asking that many questions, I'm just learning Java and a little confused.
I included the other classes I wrote maybe it has to do with them. I'm also gonna post my code that runs by manually inputting the data but like I initially posted, I'm needing help automating this process. Your code is in line with my reasoning, I just can't get it to run.
Thanks for taking the time out to help a brother.
