sarrki:


Uncle please visit Benue

Then come back and comment sir

My heartfelt condolence is with Benue people. I am just drawing your attention to the inaccurate information you posted. Benue people are a priority and Buhari has and is giving the required intervention.

You are in a frenzy and not true to facts. You let emotions and your faith get the better part of you. The muslim Fulanis and their cows were killed in their hundreds last year in Taraba without any provocation, senseless killings in Nigeria predates this administration and no faith is exempted.

The president is doing his best. Please criticize him based on fact

sarrki:
I Think APC and Pmb overstretched their lucks

Benue is in a mess

I had expected to see the commander in chief to visit or send high power delegation to Benue

If not for anything a PDP state before 2015 also dominated by Christians voted massively for you your Excellency

I think courtesy demands you mourn with them


Seriously I am disappointed

I mean it I am

The FG is handling this situation appropriately. You of all people shouldn't be in a frenzy and propagating inaccurate information

Buhari is giving Benue state the attention and priority it deserves. He has a formal session with the governor, the COAS has deployed troops, the IGP was there, the minister interior was there. The senate has also led a delegation to Benue. The president suspended his Abia state visit to mourn with Benue people.

So, please before joining the wagon of hatred mongers and discord merchants get your facts right.

This is very unfortunate, wicked, inhuman and extremely disturbing. No Man has the right to harm another, every life is precious.

It is sad to see politicians steadfastly fanning embers of division through birdbraining the guillible electorates and instigating them to violence and hate just to achieve their political aspirations.

The Fulani are equally victims of this heinous acts of violence by either the farmers, cattle rustlers or sponsored militias by crisis entrepreneurs.

They have their own share of violence also, unfortunately the media is never present to report their plights. Thousands of them were killed and their cattle being carted away but the news never made it to the headlines, but they get easily blamed even when the assailants are yet unknown, even communal clashes between non Fulani, the Fulani get lassoed.

I think it is high time the FG kickstart the proposed grazing colonies and do away with this victimization trend by our "no longer hospitable brothers".

The useless vindictive weakling has issued yet another derisory statement reeking of daftness in an attempt to leverage on the current crisis to demonize El-Rufai.

It is on record Jonathan has never been decisive in tackling any form of insecurity, at his watch the now dismantled Boko Haram metarmorphosizes from ragtag insurgents to fully fledged sophisticated foes that brings disrepute to the Nigerian army, attacking at will, displacing millions and forcing our brave soldiers to desert battlefields wearing women wrappers. All because of the ineptitude, incognizance and Dumbo's unwittness that pave way to unprecedented level of gargatuan pilfering by hordes of unscrupulous vultures on our common wealth.

Just see this quote from above pitiful statement:

"For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known that the figure of 756 is wrong. But the issue is not that it is a false figure, the issue is that former President Jonathan was not inactive in the face of Fulani herdsmen killings during his Presidency.

Imagine the bolded, yet the useless fool went on to claim he has done well in tackling the menace.

The El-Rufai he loves to loathe and pathetically trying to pass the buck to has done amazingly well in tacking insecurity in his state, El-Rufai has not only device a solution to the problem by initiating a thorough investigation to the root cause, he has since embarked on implementing it heads on as well, and it is bearing fruit, insecurity in Kaduna today is receiving bloody nose and crime is no longer attractive.

If Jonathan had any sense/shame left he should advice Benue government to adopt Kaduna's method of addressing the farmers-herders strife Just like the Plateau government did.

Peace is not a priviledge it is a fundamental right, no man shall be killed because of the leaders shortcomings. Enough of the blame game and instigations. I hope the perpetrators and those fanning the embers receive the worst comeuppance in million folds.

Good analysis.
But Number 9, 13, 14, 37, 72 Hana (shortform Hannah), Tabitha, Salomi, Rahap (also Rahab) are all English Bible names, that reduces this list to 69.

Don't forget that some of the abducted girls were muslims too. Not all of them were christians. So, some of those girls you saw with Kanuri & shuwa arab names were most definitely not chibok indigenes.

Of course, you do not expect every girl in Chibok girls sec school. to be a chibok indigene or christian, just like not everyone in Chibok town or LGA would be indigenes or christians. So, at the end of the day, we will most likely arrive at almost same approximation.

Believe me, if it was like 30 years ago, the overwhelming majority, like 80% of these girls would have been answering these Hausa/arabic names. Even in the north central, it was the same. Infact, Southern kaduna, Niger and parts of Plateau christians answered more Hausanized/arabic names than those from the north-east. But unlike our north-eastern counterparts, most of us from the north central and Southern kaduna became more educated, exposed and perhaps intermixed more with Southerners, hence we heavily dropped these hausa/arabic names and are now switching to english/tribal names.
Infact, many of us change our names after leaving our villages to the city (although I do not support this). People answering Danladi changed their names to sunday.. ..Saratu to Sarah, Hauwa to Eve, Ibrahim to Abraham e. t. c

I believe i prove my point. Thank you for bringing the 21 chibok names.

The girls are under 20 == Present generation.

Perhaps you haven't paid much attention to the publication in the link i posted. CAN distinguish the kidnapped girls based on faith. The 74 names i posted are from the christian names.

George weah was actively involved in Liberia's politics since God knows when.

This is not the first time he takes a shot at the presidency, he has been contesting for other seats since 2005 and before becoming the president he served as a senator.

George weah is not just a veteran footballer, he kickstarted his journey to victory more than a decade ago.

He ventured into politics and consolidate on his pitch fame, our players on the other hand went AWOL till the recent social media advancement that makes it possible for them to remind us they still exist.

Nowenuse:

@the bolded. The names of those people you listed there, none of them is below 50 years of age except maybe Nenadi Usman. Nenadi is her tribal name. Her full name is Nenadi Esther Usman. Esther is her middle name. She is only answering Usman because she married a Hausa muslim man from Jere.

What I said was that those Hausa humorous names, hausanized Arab and bible names are no longer answered by youths, teenagers and children of this generation as such. You can still find some youths within the ages of 20-40 answering these names, but for teenagers and children, it is very difficult (especially in the north central, Southern kaduna & Taraba). But in farther northern areas like South Borno, South Yobe, South Kebbi and those areas closer to muslim areas, you may still find children & teenagers answering these names, but still in a reduced percentage compared to before.

Take for example this list below of the 21 released Chibok girls from South Borno. They are mostly within their late teenage ages. Only 7 of them answered hausanized arabic/bible first names. The rest answered English or their native first names.

Now, this is South Borno as I told you, If this peradventure happened in Plateau or South Kaduna, It would be lower

Nice effort.

I could have contested that even in the 21 names you posted Hausa names dominate the list if we take to account "the parents name", but because what you're trying to prove is "the new generation have fully switched to english names" i will be fair to your submission, and concentrate on the big pie, the 21 names are Just crumbs.

To solidify my previous claim that "Hausanized (english or jewish names)" are Hausa-speaking-christian-northerners's second preference as birthname with "native name(1st)" and "english names(3rd)", and that the "Hausa names are fast relegating the native names to second position" i will use same list of abducted christian chibok girls released by CAN to prove to you why i find your claim too hard to believe.

Out of the 165 names, 74 names are neither English nor tribal. Apart from Hausanized Jewish names, there are also Kanuri names (gana, palmata, yana), and Shuwa-Arab names (awa, awagana) and humorous names like (kwanta(lay down), talata(tuesday), yanke (cut short), Kauna (affection), Jinkai (pity/compassion) ).

Chibok girls name is just one example, and due to their proximity with Muslims and their status as a minority tribe in Borno they bear Muslim names like Hauwa, Safiya, Fatima, Zara, Maryam, Aisha etc. But in some places, particularly the north-central, the hausa-speaking-christains bear names like markus, Luka, Bulus, Rahilla, Salomi etc which is Hausanized (english or jewish) names.

DerideGull:


The above names are native Hausa names just like Igbo, Yoruba, Ibibio or Edo names which have nothing to do with any religious sect. There are Hausa Christians who taken names such as John, James, Daniel etc, just like any other ethnic group in Nigeria. However the original poster wanted us to believe that Arabic names taken by Hausa Christians were exclusively Hausa and Christian not withstanding that such names have also been bore by Hausa Muslims too.

The author have made distnictions between Arab, Christian and Hausa native names. His attempt is to bring to light the influence of Hausa language on Hausa-speaking-northern-christians as regards to name bearing. His effort also aim show how the intertwined Arab and Hausa culture gave the christians some ideas about name given/bearing.

It is true they take names like John, Moses, Mary etc, but a huge chunk of them prefer Hausanised Arabicized biblical names like Yahaya(john), Maryam-Mairamu-Mairo (mary), Musa-Kallamu-Kalla(moses) etc. Or Just Hausa/Fulani native names like Duna(dark skinned), Danjuma(born on friday) etc.

However, some birthnames given to Hausa-speaking-northern-christians like the examples i gave in my first post are not Hausa native names. They are more or less "Hausa words used as names" by the christians.

Godiya(gratitude), Qauna(affection), Murna(happiness), Angulu(volture), Wuta(fire) are examples of such names. No Hausa Speaking Muslim have them as birthnames, neither do Hausa pagans of old.

The names are not biblical also, markus(mark), bulus(paul) etc are biblical, and are the Hausa speaking christians coined names like the Hausa speaking Muslims coinage of Lawal(auwal), Ado(Adam), Shehu(sheikh) etc.

Nowenuse:


Most of these humorous native Hausa names are no longer being answered by our people.
It was our grandfathers who answered these names. Especially people from Southern Kaduna. Even our fathers hardly answered these names (rather they switched to the Hausa bible names) and the current generation has now fully switched to English names.

Maigoro, Maigida, DanAuta, Mainoma, Bako, e. t.c

When i use "Hausa" in reference to christian names below, i want you to view it as Hausanized (western or hebrew) names or just hausa native name.

I am unaware of this development. I find your claim that the "current generation fully switched to english names" very hard to believe, till this day your people give their children those names as birthnames(humorous names)


A noticeable change however is in giving dual birthnames to the newborns, a baby can have a native name and a Hausa or English name at birth. Still english name is the least preferred. First preference is always a "native name". The second preference is Hausa name and third English.

My reason of putting Hausa name above English name is not far fetched, the culture of naming for Hausa speaking christian northerners have buttressed the reason already. They do not only bear Hausa names, they also bear Arab names as well. E.g Bala Ngilari, Yakubu Dogara, Labaran Maku, Yakubu Gowon, Nenadi Usman etc

As things stand, Hausa names are fast relegating the ethnic names to the second spot also.

Another angle that elucidates why English spot is the third preference is, there is no English speaking minorities in the core north.The non Hausa speakers stick to their ethnic names.

Hausa is almost everywhere. Almost every christian denomination in the core north evangelise in Hausa.
Sometimes they adopt the hausanized biblical English names, sometimes they coin what suits them from the Hebrew name.

fiizznation:
This man doesn't know what he is saying. You don't just wake up and type rubbish on your laptop. You carry a thorough research before venturing on what you know nothing about.

Bulus, ishaya, etc are NOT names used by "hausa Christians". These are names used by southern kaduna, borno, plateau and Taraba Christians. And these people have their distinctive language(s) which is not hausa.

He wrote:

"The personal names of Hausa-speaking northern Nigerian Christians also have an onomastic uniqueness that is worth exploring. I use “Hausa-speaking northern Nigerian Christians” here rather loosely to refer to a miscellany of ethnic groups primarily in Nigeria’s northwest and northeast who are nonetheless united by Christianity and the Hausa language."

I think it will also be interesting for the author to broaden his preliminary thoughts on Hausa-speaking Northern Christian names by adding to the list their "ingenious or rather ingenuous method of name bearing" that even though are Hausa words, it is Hausa-speaking-northern-christians unique creation.

Below names will fall under this category:

-Godiya (gratitude)

- Murna (happinness)

- Qauna (Love)

- Bamaiyi (Shorten form of Bamaiyi sai Allah. Meaning Only Allah is Able)

And other humorous names like Angulu (vulture), Bindiga (gun), Wuta (fire)

What people? What Pharaoh?

This is where majority of the meats sold in Anambra State Capital, Awka and its environs comes from.

Awka abattoir popularly called Kwata, the smells from this place is enough to make one lose appetite for meat.

The word kwata in Hausa has two meanings with variant pronunciation.

1 - Abattoir

2 - Gutter

Which meaning best fits this Kwata, i do not know.

DanielTheGeek:


I said without programming!, and yes the mail will surely send if there are no issues with your code or server.

How could mail be sent without programming

DanielTheGeek:


All in all, donotreply@domain.com isn't meant to be a real address...

Good to know that, i have'nt tried sending mail from fake-non-existent email address. In essence you were saying as long as i am hosted on a live server i will be able to send email to people with a madeup email address?

I never thought it will be that easy, what i was thinking all this while is before i can send an email i must have a valid email address.

I will try sending a mail to my gmail account from fake account like thisisfake@mydomain.com, if i receive the mail, i will proceed with sending mails to my site users from donotreply@mydomain.com since the whole purpose of the email account i want is sending emails and not receiving.

it's another way of avoiding spam messages amongst many other reasons, you can send the message using php code from donotreply@domain.com and receive account based replies at, probably accounts@domain.com....
Besides I want to learn from you how the mail can be sent on-click of a button in a webpage without application of programming!

In php you send email using a function called "mail()". The function would have to contain atleast four parameters before it send the email.

The parameters are:

1 - $to : Receiving address
2 - $subject : Title of email
3 - $message : The email
4 - $headers: Your email address, Mime-version, content-type, charset etc

The function can be called upon pressing of a button, link or through javascript dom of onload, onclick etc.

note: if your mails are always going to the spam box then make sure the script sending the mail is hosted on a server linked with the domain.

I dont want to receive any mail that's why i want to send the mail from donotreply@mydomain.com

eazigbo:
First and foremost, Godaddy doesnot make use of CPanel. I've been previledged to work with that. So, let me give you the benefit of the doubt that you couldnt find your way around the backend.

Godaddy have cpanel, most hosting companies do.

Secondly, like someone said, you just might want to cheat your way through it. Well, such mails dont really exist. But if your still want to create such an account, you go to the email section of your CPanel. You dont need codes/scripts for this.

Make up your mind dude, could it be created or it doent exist?

Lest I forget, next time drop all those crappy titles you have as signature. You just couldnt create a simply email account so what are those titles for?

I do not have any signature in my account. You mistook me for someone else. Danielthegeek is not A7.

But how different are you from the dude with crappy signatures? Your geeky self does'nt know godaddy have cpanel remember?

bedfordng:
if you are using auto responder , then create the noreply email address from your hosting cpanel and then insert it on the reply to maill address section whenever you want to send such mail

Danyl:

From your description, you can automate this things from your scripts cos there are somethings you can't monitor with auto responder except you route your sign up forms with an auto responder and I doubt if you will do that except it's for product marketing.

donsheddy1:
The truth is that donotreply refers to a non active email on a website. When using a mailer, you can set the reply to email to donotreply@xyz.com.

Secondly is you can set this up with your auto - responder by also changing the "Reply to" section to "donotreply@xyz.com"

Thank you very much for the response.

But, i wanted the email for one purpose only which is; to send a message and hinting to the receiver not to respond by replying(that is why email source is donotreply@domain.com). I only want to notify them about an action they took or an action i wanted them to take.

In other words i wanted an email address that contains my domain name to send message to my site users.

DanielTheGeek:


Do you know why people use donotreply@domain.com? because they don't want to receive replies to automated email messages. The email address is not supposed to be a real one and attaching auto responders to that address is bad because you'd be needing it on few pages that send automated mail and auto responders are meant for general level addresses such as info@domain.com because you expect to receive lots of messages from lots of users and you want to notify them that you got their message.

I explicitly stated in the Op what the email purpose is. The messages are notifications, the only response expected from the user is to follow links within the email to activate their accounts or reset their password or visit the website and use change password if they receive a failed login attempts email.

The tasks above do not require sending email to the admin.

I feel you're trying to cheat your way around instead of writing code that solves your problem.

Sending mail is a simple process in Php, i learn to write that code in my beginner lessons.

This thread however is about creating an email address to be integrated into the php mail codes as the source of the mail sent to site users.

Note: Auto responses are triggered when a message is sent to your address, not when a user clicks "sign up" on your website.

It's the other way actually.

When users sent you a message you need to read, comprehend and personally respond. Computers do not have that intelligence. But when a user clicks sign up, that is a straight forward request and computers can handle that, that's why developers automate them to respond by sending the activate account email.

This is isn't worthy of being a problem. If you're a good developer, you shouldn't have this problem.

$close = 
($this->close->thread( ' 3849251 ' ) ) ?
 ' ' :
$seun->close->thread( ' 3849251 ' ) ; 

To host a site online your codes are not the only requirements, you have to reach for other applications developed by other programmers, that is why we buy domain and hosting account and try to learn how to use tons of the applications in the cpanel.

In this case i wanted to have a better understanding of the mail application, i wanted to know how i can use it to have a mail address like donotreply@mydomain.com.

Hello, how do i set an auto-respond email address like donotreply@mydomain.com.?

I wanted to be sending messages like "activate your account", "registration successful", "Failed login attempts" e.t.c to my site users with a customized email address like "donotreply@mydomain.com", i searched the control panel but just cant find the tool to do that.

I am using PHP, MYSQL AND GODADDY.com

OP I understand the 'bag' unit of measure more than the metric tonnes. The 100 bags of fresh ginger you planted, was it 100 bags before cutting it for planting or 100 bags after cutting? Because I know the volume normally decreases after cutting it for planting. You are doing a great job my sister. Proud offspring of Chongailand just like me.

She said:
6 tonnes
100 bags

A tonne is 1000kg
6 tonnes is 6000kg

6000(kg ) / 100(bags) = 60

So, 1 bag is 60kg.
